Unit 7 social problems
Unit 7 Social problems中国政府历来十分重视保护生态环境，早在1999年就颁布了生态环境保护方面的条例。
多年来，在各级政府和有关部门的共同努力下，全国的生态保护工作取得了显著的成绩。
然而，生态环境恶化的趋势并没有得到遏制。
人类活动是问题的主要根源。
这主要体现在以下几个方面：一、过度使用资源。
中国是个人口大国，自然资源人均占有量十分有限，而经济增长对自然资源的依赖性却很强。
自从实行改革开放政策以来，中国的经济增长迅速，同时也增加了对生态环境的负担。
二、法律制度不健全。
既没有健全的法制，也没有全面的管理措施，给不同的部门和地区造成了障碍。
三、意识淡薄。
有些地方官员只注重经济发展，忽视了生态环境的保护，牺牲生态环境追求利润。
四、能力不足。
目前，中国既要解决过度消费引起的问题，也要解决经济落后和贫穷引起的问题。
但由于缺乏专门机构，专业人士，技术及检测设备，中国很难实行一个统一的计划来监督生态保护工作。
The Chinese government has always attached great importance to the protection of the ecological environment. It promulgated a program concerning the conservation of ecological environment back in 1999. Thanks to the joint efforts by government at various levels and the related departments over the years, tangible achievements have been registered in ecological protection work throughout the country. Despite this, the tendency of ecological environment deterioration has not been curbed. Human activities are the prime contributor to the problem. These are shown in the following aspects:1.Over exploitation of resources. China, a country witha huge population, is limited in per-capita possession of natural resources. But its economic growth heavily depends on natural resources. Since its adoption of the policies of reform and opening up, China has achieved a rapid economic growth, but that also has imposed a heavy burden on the ecological environment.2.A lack of a complete legal system. There is neither a complete legal system, nor comprehensive managementmeasures, thus creating barriers between different departments or regions.3.Less awareness. Some local officials, paying attention to economic development and neglecting ecological environment protection, hunt for economic profits at the cost of ecological environment.4.Weak capability. Currently, china has to deal with the problems caused by excessive consumption and the problems caused by economic backwardness and poverty. But, owing to the scarcity of special organizations, professional workers, technology and monitoring equipment, it is hard for China to carry out a unified plan and to supervise ecological protection work.过去的十年是中国改革开放和现代化建设进程中十分重要的十年，也是中国青年发展进程中十分重要的十年。

In Egyptian culture, 4,223 was an unlucky number because of the pictograms required to represent it (four thousand, two hundred, fifteen, and eight). When placed together, these pictograms presented a crude representation of a scene that could be interpreted as the murder of a young Pharaoh. This superstition fell into disuse with the conquer of the 26th dynasty and the acceptance of a baseten system in the ninth century.

History of Englishⅰ. The root of EnglishEnglish began as a west Germanic language which was brought to England by the Saxons around 400 A.D. Old English was the spoken and written language of England between 400 and 1100 A.D. Many words used today come from Old English, including man, woman, king, mother, etc. But Old English was very different from modern English and only a few words can be easily recognized. In the 9th and 10th centuries, when Vikings invaded England, Old Norse words, e.g.sky, take and get and many place names, entered the language.From the Norman Conquest (1066) until the late 12th century English was replaced as the official language by Norman French, though English was still used by the lower classes. English from about 1300 to 1500 is known as Middle English. It was influenced by French and also Latin in vocabulary and pronunciation. French brought many words connected with government, e.g.sovereign, royal, court, legal and government itself. Latin was the language of religion and learning and gave to English words such as minister, angel, master, school and grammar.Literature began again to be written in English during this period. One of the most famous Middle English works is Chaucer’sThe Canterbury Tales.ⅱ. The development of Modern EnglishModern English developed from the Middle English dialect of the East Midlands and was influenced by the English used in London, where a printing press was set up by William Caxton in 1476. English changed a great deal from this time until the end of the 18th century.During the Renaissance, many words were introduced from Greek and Latin to express new ideas, especially in science, medicine and philosophy. They included physics, species, architecture, encyclopedia and hypothesis. In the 16th century several versions of the Bible helped bring written English to ordinary people. The Elizabethan period is also famous for its drama, and Sh akespeare’s plays were seen by many people.The development of printing helped establish standards of spelling and grammar, but there remained a lot of variation. Samuel Johnson’s A Dictionary of the English Language (1755) was the first authoritative treatment of English. It defined about 40,000 words and gave examples of their use.By the 18th century American English was established and developing independently from British English. After colonists arrived in the US new words began to be added from Native American languages, and from French and Spanish. In 1783, soon after Johnson’s dictionary was published, Noah Webster’s The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the US. At first it used Johnson’s spellings, but later editions contained m any of what have come to be known as American spellings, e.g. harbor and favorite.ⅲ. 20th Century EnglishDuring the 19th and early 20th centuries many dictionaries and books about language were published. New words are still being added to English from other languages, including Chinese (feng shui) and Japanese (karaoke). Existingwords gain new senses, and new expressions spread quickly through television and the Internet.English is now an international language and is used as a means of communication between people from many countries. As a result the influences on the English language are wider than ever and it is possible that World English will move away from using a British or American standard and establish its own international identity.Ⅲ. Winston Churchillⅰ. A Brief introduction to Winston ChurchillAs a politician, Winston Churchill is remembered as one of Britain’s greatest statesmen. He was the son of the Conservative politician Lord Randolph Churchill and his American wife Jennie. As a young man he served as a soldierin India and Egypt, and as a journalist in South Africa, before entering politics. Churchill became Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in 1940. His radio speeches during World War II gave the British people a strong determination to win the war, especially at times of great crisis. Examples of Churchill’s phrases still often quoted today are “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat”, and “This was their finest hour”. The Conservative Party led by Churchill lost the election of 1945, but he became Prime Minister again from 1951 to1955 when he retired, aged 80. When he died in Jan 1965 he was given a state funeral.ⅱ. Chronology of Winston Churchill-- November 30, 1874Born Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill at Blenheim Palace, Woodstock,near Oxford.-- October 1, 1911Appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in Liberal government.-- April 30, 1915Failure of the Dardanelles Expedition, in World War I, led to his resignationas First Lord of the Admiralty.-- November 6, 1924Baldwin named him Chancellor of the Exchequer.-- May 10, 1940Appointed to head wartime coalition government.-- July 1945Lost general election.-- April 24, 1953Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.-- December 10, 1953Awarded Nobel prize for literature in recognition of “historical works andbiographies as well as his brilliant speeches.”-- January 24, 1965Died in London; buried, following a state funeral, in the churchyard at Bladon,near Blenheim.ⅲ. A Video Clip about Winston Churchill(Directions:) Watch this video clip and answer the following questions.1.What do you learn from the clip?2.What do you think of Winston Churchill?Ⅳ. Julius CaesarJulius Caesar was the best-known of all the ancient Roman leaders, and the first one to land in Britain with an army.He did this twice, in 55 and 54 BC, although Britain did not become part of the Roman Empire until nearly a hundred years later.Ⅴ. VikingViking was a member of a people from Scandinavia who attacked parts of northern and western Europe, including Britain and Ireland, in the 8th to 11th centuries. In Britain they were also known as Norsemen. They settled on theScottish islands and in areas of eastern England, and the Danish king Canute ruled England from 1016. The Vikings were feared as violent and cruel, but they were also noted for their skill in building ships and as sailors. They had an important influence on English culture and the English language.Ⅵ. NormanNorman refers to any of the people from Normandy in northern France who settled in England after their leader William defeated the English king at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The Normans took control of the country, a process known as the Norman Conquest. They used many of the existing Anglo-Saxon methods of government of the state and the church, but added important aspects of their own and made government much more effective. The language of governmentbecame first Latin, and then Norman French, and this caused many new words to be added to the existing English language.Ⅶ. William CaxtonWilliam Caxton was the man who set up the first printing firm in Britain. He printed his first book in 1474. By printing books in English, Caxton had a strong influence on the spelling and development of the language. Many of the books he published were French stories which he translated himself. Ⅷ. Otto JespersenOtto Jespersen was a Danish philologist, grammarian, and educationist. He promoted the use of the “direct method” in language teaching with the publication of his theoretical work How to Teach a Foreign Language (1904). Other books include his seven-volume Modern English Grammar (1909~1949).Ⅸ. RenaissanceThe Renaissance emerged in northern Italy in the 1300s when, not content with the abstract and highly subjective thinking of the Middle Ages, scholars turned for inspiration to the ancient Greeks and Romans with their love of earthly life. Italian architects rediscovered ancient construction techniques and incorporated Greek and Roman columns, arches, and domes into their public buildings. Instead of the flat, stiff figures of the Middle Ages, Renaissance artists portrayed rounded, flesh-and-blood people, people filled with emotions. To depict the world they lived in realistically, Renaissance artists developed linear perspective, which creates on a flat surface the illusion of depth. Renaissance scholars explored their world through mathematics, science, and engineering. Probably the most famous people of the Renaissance times are Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. By the 1500s the Renaissance had spread to Spain and the countries of northern Europe, where people sought to blend the intense interest in human affairs with spiritual ideals.Ⅰ.
