1. Paragraph

2. Because global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet(the earth). Low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Ninos could become more intense.

2. Paragraph

3. Our factories, power plants, and cars burn coal and gasoline and spit out carbon dioxide, produce methane by allowing our trash to decompose in landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle, and release nitrogen oxide by using nitrogen-based fertilizers.

3. Paragraph

4. The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, so cause the global warming.

4. Paragraph 7. A slight increase in heat and rain in equatorial regions would increase vector-borne带菌媒介引起的diseases such as malaria; more intense rains and hurricanes could cause more severe flooding and more deaths in coastal regions and along riverbeds; even a moderate rise in sea level could threaten the low-lying islands; hotter summers couldlead to more cases of heatstroke, hospital admissions and deaths among vulnerable people with heart problems or respiratory problems.

5. Paragraph 8 and 10. We can curb our consumption of fossil fuels and use technologies to reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon二氧化碳 dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, and protect the forests in the world, and we can also advocate policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests.

IV.

1. Global warming will probably be the most serious threat to our Earth, if we do not take into account of some other possible disasters, such as another world war, collision of our Earth with some small orbiting planet, or spread of incurable diseases.

2. In terms of human health, the people of the poorer countries will suffer most, because their countries do not have money to protect them when climate changes.

II Grammar Exercises

1. The present perfect tense vs. the simple past tense

The simple past refers to the definite past. The present perfect refers to “the past with present relevance.” The action or state denoted by the present perfect tense, though referring to some indefinite happening in the past, has some connection with the present. Hence, if an action or state happened in the past and has no connection with the present, it will have to be expressed by the simple past.

Compare: His father has been a teacher all his life. (His father is still alive.)

His father was a teacher all his life. (His father is now dead.)

I. Complete the following sentences using the appropriate verb forms.

1. began / / have had

2. A: Have // talked

B: Have talked // talked

4. have // telephoned // went

5. have been

IV.

1. have had -- have

2. have been – be

3. laying – lying

4. bore – bear

5. Rang -- Rung

6. rised – risen

7. had – has

2. Connectives (because, as, since, seeing that, for, because of)

Because is generally used when the reason is the most important part of the sentence.

As and since are used when the reason is already well known, or is less important than the rest of the sentence. Since is a little more formal than as. As and since clauses often begin the sentence. Clauses of cause-result are introduced by because or as.

Seeing that means the same as since. It is used only in informal speech.

For suggests that the reason is given as an afterthought. For clauses never come at the beginning of the sentence.

The phrase because of is a prepositional phrase, and should be followed by a noun or a noun phrase.

V. Fill in the blanks with because, as, since, seeing that, for or because of.

1. As / Since

2. I’m very sorry but I can’t come to work today __because / as___ I’ve caught a very bad cold.

VI Writing Practice

Paragraph development — the use of quotes

Discussion: Quotation is an effective strategy used for argumentation and other purposes. In arguing, a good quotation in your favor lends you force; one against your viewpoint can also, if you deal it a powerful and accurate blow, help your writing gain momentum. In other writing situations, well-chosen quotes can help you make an emphatic point.

Powerful as there are, quotes couldn’t prove everything. Theref ore, you should keep it in mind that don’t overuse or abuse the quotation strategy. Employing too many quotes can halt the smooth flow of your paragraph. Make sure that your quotes fit well into your writing, instead of implicitly or even blatantly contradicting the main message that you intend to convey.

Exercises: Read and consider the following topic sentences and then think of or search for famous

quotable sayings on the Internet or from other sources. Develop each paragraph using one or two quotes for each topic.

1. It is hard to overestimate the importance of friendship.

Ideas for reference:

Friends are an indispensable part of human’s life.

Friends are the very persons that we get comforts and encouragements.

Friends are our best fans whatever we do if it is good for us.

Sample:

As the saying goes “Whoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god”, friends are an indispensable part of human’s life. “A person without friends is just like a spring without flowers, a dish without seasoni ng, and it is absolutely meaningless”, as an ancient writer put it. Needless to say, friends play a significant role in our life. To begin with, friends are the very persons that we get comforts and encouragements we need to go on when our own store of willpower has become depleted. No one is bound to be strong and happy all the time, for life has its own up and down. And whenever we need them, friends will be with us, if not always, at least most of the time. Moreover, friends are our best fans whatever we do if it is good for us. When we put on a play, they will be our audiences; when give a speech, they will be our listeners; when we write a book, they will be our readers. In a word, friends are the very persons that we feel flattered and relaxed no matter what stage we stand on. All in all, we have to say that it is hard to overestimate the importance of friendship and having friends is beneficial. They give us comforts and encouragements; strengths and confidences. Actually, “Truly great friends,” said a writer, “are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.” Therefore, we should cherish our friendship.

2. Setting oneself high goals in life is important.

Ideas for reference:

Aim plays a significant role in our life.

Setting high goals makes us clearer of life.

Setting high goals helps us use our time more efficiently.

Setting high goals turns us more confident.

Sample:

As the saying goes “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass”, aim plays a significant role in our life, especially when we want to make some achievements. For our college students, it is needless to say that setting high goals in life is important. To begin with, setting high goals makes us clearer of life. We aren’t bound to succeed if we have no goal. Onl y when we have some idea of our life, will we work harder for it. Furthermore, setting high goals helps us use our time more efficiently. Having an aim in mind, we will take different actions at different periods of our college life, thus making us approach our dream closer and closer. Last but not the least, setting high goals turns us more confident. Just as “Rome isn’t built in a day”, our success cannot be achieved overnight. Bearing some goals in mind, we are easier to make progress everyday, thus bringing in more confidence for us. All in all, we have to say that setting high goals is extremely necessary. It gives light to our future and makes us full of energy! If we want to make a difference in life, setting high goals please, for a clear goal determines our destiny!

III.

1. He means that one is given the right to pursue happiness, but does not know what it is.

2. Because he believes that commercial advertising not only fails to satisfy our desires, but more importantly it creates them, and it creates them faster than any man’s budget can satisfy them. Such insatiability makes people unhappy.

3. Because he thinks that the products and pursuits advertised on the fr ont pages of women’s magazines are dreamlike and can’t be fulfilled.

4. He set two extremes according to Thoreau, the low level and the high level. The former refers to possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood, while the latter refers to active discipline of heightening one’s perception of what is enduring in nature. To find balance is to save time and effort on the low levels and spend on the high.

5. The inherent right is not happiness itself, but lies in the pursuit of happiness, in the pursuit of what is life-engaging and life-revealing, i.e. in the idea of becoming.

IV.

1. Jonathan Swift seemed to share this view when he criticized this idea of happiness as the state of being completely controlled by deception …

2. The active exercise or training to improve one’s understanding of what is of lasting value would have been Thoreau’s idea of the high levels, i.e. spiritual happiness.

Structural analysis of the text

Part 1 (par. 1, 2):The author points out that when we are not sure what happiness is, we tend to be misled by the idea that we can buy our way to it.

Part 2 (par. 3, 4, 5, 6):The author offers a number of examples to show how this misconception of happiness gives rise to the “happiness-market” in a highly commercialized society (the United States).

Part 3 (par. 7, 8, 9): The author suggests striking a balance between what Thoreau called the low levels and the high levels.

Part 4 (par. 10): The author gives his understanding of happiness, in the light of the Founding Fathers’ belief that it is “in the idea of becoming”.

II Grammar Exercises

There are three men in the car. (plural)

Non-finite clauses include infinitive clauses, -ing participle clauses, and -ed participle clauses. Both non-finite clauses and verbless clauses can be used with an adverbial meaning, giving information about time, cause, condition, purpose, result, concession as well as accompanying circumstances.

e.g. When sleeping, I never hear a thing.

Once published, the book caused a remarkable stir.

He opened his lips as if to say something.

VI Writing Practice

Paragraph development — Argumentation

Discussion: Informing the reader of possible objections to our opinion about a debatable issue and then arguing against them is a strategy we often employ to develop a paragraph. To write such a paragraph, we either state our position in the topic sentence and then immediately present a major argument against us, or directly introduce the rival argument in the very first sentence. Then we may need to identify the cause of the argument before we start our attack. Attack fiercely, but also carefully and kindly. Fiercely, because our position must be clear and our criticism must be powerful. Carefully, because we need to pay serious attention to the opposing argument, study it hard and reason logically before we can find the real problems with it. In this

way, we argue effectively. We also must argue kindly by acknowledging the sensible, reasonable, or even admirable part of the opposing position. In addition, do not use the first person too often in an argumentative piece. We can use the first person occasionally and employ expressions such as I personally (strongly) believe, in my opinion, I see the issue in this light, etc. However, if we want to make our argument sound really formal and powerful, avoid using the first person, for it would weaken the force of the argument.

Exercises: Write two paragraphs based on the following topic sentences. First anticipate an objection to your viewpoint and then argue against the objection.

1. As an 18-year-old, I strongly believe in expressing my own individuality rather than trying to be “just like everybody else” (OR: believe in conforming to the customs and practices of our society rather than expressing my individuality).

Ideas for reference:

Everybody is born unique.

If we just grow to think like others and act like others, we will all become unsuspecting conformists.

A person who wants to be “different” will learn more effectively and efficiently and finally makes a big difference.

Sample:

As an 18-year-old, I strongly believe in expressing my own individuality rather than trying to be “just like everybody else.” Everybody is born unique, so am I. The idea encouraged by our parents that follow the “rules” of society and truly conform to the customs and practices of society will help us le arn and grow up soundly isn’t completely true. Just as a wise man once put it, “the surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” If we just grow to think like others and hence always act like others, we will all become unsuspecting conformists. No culture would really be healthy and robust if it were made up of conformists and conformists only. What’s more, by thinking and acting differently from the majority, we will learn even more quickly and become mature even sooner. A youth who tries to be “just like everybody else” is like a student who just copies the teacher by rote. And only those who always challenge and question their teachers and textbooks have the potential to excel. A person who wants to be “different” will learn more effectively and efficiently and finally makes a big difference. Therefore, my fellow pals, be our own man or woman please. We will be proud of ourselves by our own personality one day.

2. It is quite a popular belief that the current method of selecting students for higher education should be eliminated, but I believe in the contrary.

Ideas for reference:

The real cause of the fierce competition isn’t the method of selecting students for higher education.

There is limited availability of places in the institutions of higher learning.

Chinese culture overemphasizes the importance of formal schooling for personal development. Sample:

It is quite a popular belief that the current method of selecting students for higher education should be eliminated, but I believe in the contrary. The major argument for the elimination

theory is that the college entrance examinations make the competition for college entrance too fierce to be good for the mental as well as physical growth of teenagers, but such an objection actually falls wide of the mark. The real cause of the fierce competition isn’t the method of selecting students for higher education but the limited availability of places in the institutions of higher learning and the culture which overemphasizes the importance of formal schooling for personal development. Firstly, compared with developed countries, China’s higher education is still underdeveloped. Too many students want to go to college, but there are not enough universities available, thus causing fierce competition among students. Secondly, Chinese culture values too much on the importance of formal schooling for personal development. A student who fails to get admitted to a “good” university is often regarded as a failure. From this perspective, we can say that the real problem is not with the current student enrolment method which relies heavily on the matriculation examinations and it isn’t workable to eliminate the exams. Even if we eliminated them, the competition between students would not become any less fierce. Besides, other new problems would arise.

How empathy unfolds 同感是怎样表露的 1 The moment Hope, just nine months old, saw another baby fall, tears welled up in her own eyes and she crawled off to be comforted by her mother, as though it were she who had been hurt. And 15-month-old Michael went to get his own teddy bear for his crying friend Paul; when Paul kept crying, Michael retrieved Paul's security blanket for him. Both these small acts of sympathy and caring were observed by mothers trained to record such incidents of empathy in action. The results of the study suggest that the roots of empathy can be traced to infancy. Virtually from the day they are born infants are upset when they hear another infant crying – a response some see as the earliest precursor of empathy. 霍普才九个月大,一见到另一个婴儿摔倒,泪水就涌了出来。她爬到妈妈身边寻求安慰,就好像是她自己摔疼了。15个月大的迈克尔把自己的玩具熊拿来给正在大哭的朋友保罗;保罗不停地大哭的时候,迈克尔替保罗捡回他的安乐毯。这些小小的表示同情和关爱的举动都是接受过记录同感行为训练的母亲们观察到的。这项研究的结果表明,同感的根源可以追溯到人的婴儿期。实际上,从出生的那天起,婴儿在听到其他婴儿哭闹的时候就会感到不安——有些人认为这种反应是同感的最初先兆。 2 Developmental psychologists have found that infants feel sympathetic distress even before they fully realize that they exist apart from other people. Even a few months after birth, infants react to a disturbance in those around them as though it were their own, crying when they see another child's tears. By one year or so, they start to realize the misery is not their own but someone else's, though they still seem confused over what to do about it. In research by Martin L. Hoffman at New York University, for example, a oneyear-old brought his own mother over to comfort a crying friend, ignoring the friend's mother, who was also in the room. This confusion is seen too when one-year-olds imitate the distress of someone else, possibly to better comprehend what they are feeling; for example, if another baby hurts her fingers, a one-year-old might put her own fingers in her mouth to see if she hurts, too. On seeing his mother cry, one baby wiped his own eyes, though they had no tears. 成长心理学家发现,甚至在充分意识到自己是独立于其他人而存在之前,婴儿就感受到了同情的苦恼。甚至在出生后几个月,婴儿就会对周围人的烦躁不安做出反应,就好像他们自己的烦躁不安一样,看到别的孩子哭也跟着哭。到了一岁左右,他们开始意识到痛苦不是他们的,而是别人的,可是他们对这样的事情似乎还是感到不知所措。例如,在纽约大学的马丁·L.霍夫曼所做的一项研究中,一个一岁的孩子把自己的妈妈拉过来安慰哭闹的朋友,却忽视了同在一室的朋友的妈妈。这样的困惑在其他一岁大的孩子身上也能看到,他们模仿别的孩子的痛苦,也许是为了更好地理解他们的感受。例如,如果别的婴儿伤了手指,一个一岁大的孩子就会把自己的手指放进嘴里,看看自己是否也感觉到痛。看到自己的妈妈哭,婴儿即使没有眼泪,也会擦拭自己的眼睛。 3 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener's theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself. He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can

Unit1 One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译 UNIT 1 “我原谅你” 1、并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居,甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。事实上,没有宽恕的氧气,任何人际关系都无从维系。宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质;它是所有关系的必要条件,也是自己的身心健康不可缺少的。 2、有些人可能认为,自己受伤太深、次数太多,无法宽恕。可耐人寻味的是,恰恰是被伤得最深的人,才真正需要宽恕别人,原因很简单:仇恨就像癌症,会毁掉宿主。如果不尽快铲除,它就会生根发芽,使那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。 3、因为事实是,除非我们能宽恕他人,否则就永远无法恢复。伤口会继续溃烂,永不愈合。中国有句古谚,“复仇者必自绝”。 4、对有些人来说,宽恕他人似乎是不可能的,因为他们根本不知从何做起。首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实:宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。事实上,对于我们大多数人来说,这也许是最难做到的。 5、被伤害的是我们,却还要宽恕他人,这似乎毫无公平可言,然而这正是宽恕的关键所在。 6、“宽恕并忘记”,这句俗话谁都会脱口而出,但实际上既简单又肤浅。一则这是绝对不可能的,二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。生活中最需要宽恕的事正是那些无法忘记的事。我们不应把这些事掩饰起来,而需记住它们,并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见,然后继续生活。 7、这就是为什么有的时候会感到:宽恕别人,一开始会相对容易些,难的是每次你看到那个人,与他谈话,甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举,而是持久的情感面对。 8、等待越久,宽恕就越难。实际上,时间不会愈合伤口,只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。如果要等待“适当的时候”,你也许永远都找不到机会。 9、开始运用宽恕的艺术之前,你先要问自己这样一个问题:我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢? 10、几年前,我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。最初几个月,它蒙蔽了所有人——美观、实用、人见人爱。我们认为它太适合我们家了。可时间一长,表面薄层的边角部分开始慢慢脱落。再也没有当初的效果了,不过至少它现在是以真实面目示人!事实是,不管喜欢不喜欢,在漂亮的表层下,我们都只是刨花板。因此,在我们评判别人之前,明智的做法是先在镜子里认真审视自己。我们越是审视自己,正视自己的缺点,便越愿意也越能够宽恕他人的缺点,宽恕得越多,也就越能体会到真正的满足。
