Unit 1 Presenting a Speech

Road Building

Good morning, everyone. Today I'l l be talking about the relationship between road building and the development of the American economy during the 18th century. About 300 years ago, the United States' economy was growing rapidly, mainly because of a booming trade in two important agricultural products: grain and cotton.

Grain output in the eastern part of America increased quickly at that time due to the rapidly growing population and the large number of immigrants from Europe. As a result, the demand for grain almost doubled. For this reason, the trade in grain first developed in this part of the country. At the same time, the road system was gradually built up in order to transport the grain from the rural areas to various cities. The road building clearly helped develop the economy quickly in these areas and in the cities as well.

During the same period, farmers in the South could get a large amount of laborers from Africa, and they started to grow cotton. As the cotton output increased, the farmers needed to sell it in other places. As a result, many roads were built to link the rural areas to the cities.

At first, this trade of grain and cotton took place along the coast, or near rivers and lakes. It took place there because it was easy and cheap to transport goods from one place to another. Before 1700, it was very expensive to move the goods by road.

So, farmers had to rely mainly on rivers to move their crops to markets.

At that time, there was only one continuous road that existed in the US. It ran from north to south along country roads, which were linked together to make one long road. Within a short time, the first east-to-west roads were built. They were called turnpikes. Private companies built these roads and collected fees from all vehicles that traveled on them.

Eventually, because of the booming trade of grain and cotton, a network of roadways was completed that connected some major cities and towns. Although traveling was still costly for farmers, they soon preferred to move their crops to cities and other areas on roadways rather than by boat because it was faster and more convenient.

So here we can see a rather clear picture of road building in the United States and its impact on economic development during that period.

Unit 2 Energy Conservation

An Eyewitness to Changes in China

(Y: Yang Rui, anchor of Dialogue, CCTV-9

R: Sidney Rittenberg, president of Rittenberg Associates, Incorporated. )

Y: Mr. Rittenberg, you are a successful businessman and also a big name to the Chinese due to your close association with the first generation of the PRC leaders. How do you look at the impact that that experience has had on your current perception of China's reform and development?

R: I feel in my heart that what I’m doing today is a continuation of what I was trying to do in the that is, I had this ambition, this dream, from the time that I began studying Chinese at Stanford University in 1943，I had this dream of working to build bridges between Chinese people and American people, and to help them understand each other and cooperate together. And I tried to do that in the past, working in China in Mao’s

day. And that's exactly what I'm trying to do today. I really think that what I'm doing today is more effective than what I was able to do in the past.

Y: At that time many foreigners came to China, but you were among the very few who got close to the Communist Party of China.

R: You know, it’s quite obvious to me that the only reason that the Communist Party of China was able to win in the final stages of the Civil War is because of their extremely close relations with the people. The Chinese people that came to know them, trusted them and considered them their representatives. This small peasant army led by Mao Zedong had no tanks, no big guns, no planes, and was greatly outnumbered by the opposition, which was the most powerful armed force in Asia after the Second World War. And yet in only three and a half years, the Nationalists were completely defeated and driven off to the island province of Taiwan. Why? Because the ties that the Communists had with the Chines e people were unbreakable. They had their trust. They had their confidence and support. And that was something that the Nationalists were not able to get.

You know, the Revolutionary Army was a poor army, even in terms of the food they got. The soldiers had grass sandals that they made themselves along the march. But what made them do it? The fact that they had a vision. They believed that they were fighting for their land, for their family to have their own farmland, and for a fair government that would listen to the people and do what they needed. So this is the only explanation I can think of for why they were able to win.

Y: In the Long March you just talked about, the Communist army had to overcome extreme difficulties. But in the new Long March of modernization today, we are also facing difficulties, though very different. What’s your view of this new Long March? R: I agree with calling this a new Long March, only the barriers are very different. Those barriers were certainly very grim and threatening. Some of these barriers look very good and inviting but actually they are not. I mean, in the days before and during the Long March, the leaders had the task of studying the Chinese reality and getting everybody that they could influence to study reality and from it to derive a set of policies, practical strategies to guide everybody. So people had a shared vision and dream. They were motivated by this common dream to work together. And I think, during the current Long March of modernization, China would need to do the same thing, to gradually study Chinese reality and develop a set of strategies, a common vision and a set of values that most people will share. And then you'll find that you don't have a problem of disconnection between the central government and local governments, or a problem of a big gap between city and country life.

Y: Still, people are wondering in this country why we were able to live with poverty but have problems living with the new wealth.

R: Again it’s the lack of a practical, down-to-earth, realistic vision that everyone shares, in my opinion. I remember after the “Great Leap Forward”when there was a famine, many, many people in Beijing, including government workers, professors in schools, their faces were swollen because people weren’t getting enough food. But nobody admitted that it was because of malnutrition. No one said, “It’s because we don’t have enough food.”You know, I personally don’t think that, for most people, they were

motivated just for a distant future dream of Communism. It was because of what the new government had actually already done for the people: workers got their eight hours

a day, farmers got their own land for the first time, the public health campaigns, etc.

These things raised the standards of living, especially during the first five or six years from 1949 to 1955. Tremendous social changes made people feel, "This is my government, they represent my interests, they bring me real benefits.”

Y: What lessons do you think we should draw from the Cultural Revolution?

R: Well, I think the Cultural Revolution pointed out one fact, which actually was articulated by Deng Xiaoping in his interview after the Cultural Revolution with an American correspondent. He said that any government that doesn’t succeed in making life better for most people in China year by year is not going to succeed. And I think that was the lesson that was taught: it’s not enough just to have growth of the economy, you’ve got to make people feel that you represent their interests and you are working for them.

Y: Besides making people’s life better, there is another core idea of Deng Xiaoping’s theory, that is, the emancipation of people’s mind.

R: I think the emancipation of the followed the Cultural Revolution is equally important to the development of the market economy in China today. But compared to the economic reform, I think the emancipation of the mind hasn’t gone far enough. There’s still the shadow of the old feudalistic habits of governments and individuals in their thinking and in their relationships. When I say a common vision, I don't mean a political code that everyone recites. I mean a feeling that we are working together to build a common society that’s more or less represented by the eight lines that were raised by President Hu Jintao, the moral code.

Unit 3 Traffic

Driving While on a Cell Phone Worse Than Driving While Drunk

21:44:27 EDT June 29, 2006

Thursday, June 29 —Maneuvering through traffic while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident five-fold and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report.

That finding held true whether the driver was holding a cell phone or using a hands-free device, the researchers noted.

“As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving,”said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah. “This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk — cell phones actually are a higher risk,” he said.

His team’s report appears in the summer issue of the journal Human Factors.

In the study, 40 people followed a pace car along a prescribed course, using a driving

simulator. Some people drove while talking on a cell phone, others navigated while drunk (meaning their blood-alcohol limit matched the legal limit of 0.08 percent), and others drove with no such distractions or impairments.

“We found an increased accident rate when people were conversing on the cell phone,”Drews said. Drivers on cell phones were 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident than non-distracted drivers, the researchers found.

The phone users fared even worse than the inebriated, the Utah team found. There were three accidents among those talking on cell phones — all of them involving a rear-ending of the pace car. In contrast, there were no accidents recorded among participants who were drunk, or the sober, cell-phone-free group.

The bottom line: Cell-phone use was linked to “a significant increase in the accident rate," Drews said.

He said there was a difference between the behaviors of drunk drivers and those who were talking on the phone. Drunk drivers tended to be aggressive, while those talking on the phone were more sluggish, Drews said.

In addition, the researchers found talking on the cell phone reduce reaction time by 9 percent in terms of braking and 19 percent in terms of picking up speed after braking. "This is significant, because it has an impact on traffic as a system,”Drews said. “If we have drivers who are taking a lot of time in accelerating once having slowed down, the overall flow of traffic is dramatically reduced,”he said.

In response to safety concerns, some states have outlawed the use of hand-held cell phones while driving. But that type of legislation may not be effective, because the Utah researchers found no difference in driver performance whether the driver was holding the phone or talking on a hands- free model.

Unit 4 Social Behavior

The Men’s Movement: What Does It Mean to Be a Man?

As a result of the Women’s Movement, more women are working outside the home, and many men are playing a more active role in family life and are taking on some of the tasks involved in child care and housework. In addition to these changes inside the home, men are today entering occupations that used to be considered women’s jobs. More men are becoming nurses and teachers of young children. Other men are finding that they have more female colleagues and bosses at work than ever before, and they are having to adapt to women’s styles of communication and management, which can differ considerably from those of men. At work, as well as at home, many men today in modern North American society have to play very different roles than their fathers did. They are, as a result, joining with other men in a countermovement called the Men’s Movement to seek to provide one another with the support they need to cope with the roles expected of men in today’s world.

Exactly what forms does the Men’s Movement take, and what do men in the Men’s Movement hope to achieve by being active in the movement? To begin with, the Men’s Movement has no

unified, monolithic philosophy. Although there are a number of unifying themes, there are also some interesting differences among the basic groups associated with the Men’s Movement. Several writers who write about the Men’s Movement have identified four basic groups of men active in the movement.

The first group is labeled the male feminists, and these men work for women’s rights and equality between the sexes. Some of the men in this first group are vocal about blaming other men for much of the violence against women and for the inequality that exists between men and women in relationships and the job market. Not all members of the Men’s Movement, however, consider this first group of men to be an integral part of the Men’s Movement. To be sure, the other three groups focus more on men’s issues than do the so-called male feminists.

The second orientation in the Men’s Movement attracts men who join men’s support groups to meet regularly and give and receive psychological support in dealing with problems created by the new roles they have to play at home and at work. These men are attempting to learn to better express their feelings and emotions, and to show sensitivity without being ashamed. A third group in the Men’s Movement consists of men who want to get back the power they feel they have lost because of the advances made by women as a result of the Women’s Movement and feminist causes. They are male activists. Finally, there is an approach to the movement called the mytho-poetic Men’s Movement. The men involved in this aspect of the Men’s Movement believe that men should be initiated into manhood as men were initiated when people still lived in small tribes and bands in more ancient cultures. This group initiates men using mythology, poetry (hence the name mytho-poetic), and other rituals, such as dancing, to explore and affirm the value of masculinity and masculine approaches to problem solving. Men who subscribe to this viewpoint worry that too much contact with women and too little contact with other men has turned men into weaklings or wimps.

So, the Men’s Movement is very diverse. A man who wants to join the movement has many options of just how he will explore the question, “What does it mean to be a man in today’s world?”

Unit 5 Population

Suicide on Campus

Anchor: Good morning, everybody. I’m expecting all of you to gather here for the half-hour Early Show. Today, parents and students alike are constantly reminded of the problems like drug and alcohol abuse, and unsafe sex on college campuses. But relatively few are warned about suicide. And suicide is second only to accidents as a leading cause of death among college students.

Our Early Show correspondent Tracy Smith reports on this very real danger that often goes undiscussed. Hello, Tracy.

Tracy Smith: Hi, Teresa. I know that today’s topic — campus suicides — is obviously weightier than the others we have talked about before. But we can not give up eating for fear of choking. It is high time we looked at the issue face to face. A study by the American College Health Association showed that 15 percent of students meet the criteria for clinical depression. Although it’s a topic cloaked in stigma and shame, more colleges

and universities are choosing to confront it, rather than wait until it’s too late. They have begun to look seriously into the reasons and seek solutions to the problem and actively intervene. Now let’s watch a short film and get some hint of a young college guy's tragedy.

Tracy Smith: Nathan Eisert, 20, took his own life in his college dorm two years ago.

In a cemetery on the outskirts of Louisville, Kentucky, you’ll find the message Tell them, Momma, a life’s too much to lose" on his small headstone.

Jan Ulrich (Nathan’s mother): The message is for Nathan’s friends. I want them to sec that message, because I think it’s from Nathan, you know, I really do. I think Nathan sent that message for me to pass along. And when they come to the gravesite, i t's what I want them to walk away with.

Tracy Smith: Always a lover of basketball, the 6-foot 5-inch player secured a spot on the Western Kentucky team as a walk-on.

Stephen Ulrich (Nathan’s stepfather): Every time the team got ahead in the game, y ou'd hear the guys in the crowd and everybody chanting, “Nathan, Nathan ..."

Tracy Smith: But early in the second season, Nathan injured his foot. He lost his place on the team but never told his family.

Stephen Ulrich: W e'r e not realizing that because he couldn’t play, because he wasn’t achieving, in his mind that he wasn't measuring up. So all of a sudden, he’s sinking. Right before everybody’s eyes, h e's sinking, and we don’t even see him sinking.

Tracy Smith: Nathan hit rock bottom. And when he didn’t show up for a family event, his father went looking for him.

Jan Ulrich: Then the phone rang; it was Nathan’s dad. Ulrich s aid, “Where are you?” As soon as I heard this, I replied, “Uh-oh ... Don’t tell me what you’re gonna tell me. I... Don’t tell me.” That’s when he told me, “H e's dead. He shot himself.”

Tracy Smith: How did things go so horribly wrong, so quickly? Jan and Stephen say they didn’t recognize the signs and that Nathan never asked for help.

Anchor: Today we have invited to our studio Mr. Phil Satow and Mrs. Donna Satow, who became experts on the topic after their son, Jed, a student at Arizona State University, committed suicide in 1998.

Phil Satow: A major problem is that a large number of students are away from home for the first time in their life and that can be traumatic. There are so many pressures that they’re facing: peer pressures, expectations of parents of high grades, high unemployment. Young people don’t want to disappoint, so there’s a whole series of things that happen specifically at that time.

Donna Satow: Some of them are also having trouble handling their romance. Sudden breakup of a relationship can hurt one to such a fatal extent.

Tracy Smith: Just like other services on campus, parents should encourage their college kids to take advantage of counseling available there. It’s also a good idea for parents and classmates to know some of the warning signs for suicide. The Ulrichs hope that by telling their story, they’ll encourage others, including administrators, parents and the students themselves, to reach out.

Stephen Ulrich: Yes, that’s right. It’s too late for us to save Nathan, but it’s not too late to save another family and another Nathan out there, because there’s another kid out there that’s screaming for help.

Anchor: Thank you, Mr. Ulrich. What you said is what our talk show aims for. Thank you all so much for attending our show. Welcome you back at the same time next week. Good-bye.

Unit 6 A City in China

What Does the Future Hold for Marriage?

What Does the Future Hold for Marriage?

Eighty years ago, Arnold Bennett, Hilaire Belloc, Rebecca West and other luminaries predicted the future of marriage — did they get it right? Despite its decline in popularity and rising divorce rates, Bel Mooney argues against the loosening of matrimonial ties. But does marriage really have a future in the 21st century?

I’m Richard Right. My wife and I have recently celebrated our Sapphire Anniversary (45 years), with, hopefully, many years to come. We made a commitment to each other and, through thick and thin, have stuck by that commitment. Today’s generation is always in a hurry and doesn’t see anything beyond the next hurdle, so they give up if the wall ahead looks too high. We must encourage people in the belief that marriage is the best social institution ever invented, but we must be prepared to work at it. The government could help by reintroducing the married persons’ allowance.

I feel very disappointed that so many men feel the way they appear to about marriage. To me marriage is sacred. I didn’t promise to love, care for and be with my husband until next week, or until another offer comes along. I promised to love him and be with him in sickness, health, riches or poverty for the rest of our lives. I meant it. I still mean it almost four years on. Things have not been easy, but I didn’t expect a bed of roses, or everything to be plain sailing. I have never expected someone else to support me in the style to which I would like to become accustomed. I expect to have to work hard for the things that we want. The notion that caring and sharing is somehow old-fashioned and out of tune with modern life, and living together is in any way compatible with the lifetime commitment of marriage is just wrong. Some of us do care, and some of us do commit to another and mean it.

Any man that praises the delights of marriage has never experienced the agony of divorce and the loss of his children. Marriage is very much for the benefit of women.

I don’t know about marriage but the future of the wedding industry is more than secure. My daughter is getting married this Sunday in a beautiful ceremony in Santa Barbara. We had to take a second mortgage on the house to pay for it. I am going to quit teaching school and become a wedding planner — she makes twice my salary!

Unit 7 Dishonoring the Honor System Opening Speech for the UK’s First Disabled People’s Parliament

I am delighted and honoured to be here today to open the UK’s first Disabled People’s Parliament.

I would like to begin by thanking the British Council of Disabled People for all your efforts in

launching this important initiative and to thank you, the first members of the Parliament — disabled people who are passionate enough about the situation of the eight and a half million of us in this country — for committing yourselves to fighting in our name.

Let me start by saying that I think today is one of historic importance in the emancipation of disabled people and our determination to seize control of our own lives. On 28 August 1963, before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, Martin Luther King gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Five years later he told us he had seen the promised land and the next day he was assassinated. So what was that dream?

In many ways it was modest enough. He didn’t call for revolution. He wanted former slaves and sons of former slave owners to sit together at the table of brotherhood. He dreamt of freedom and justice. He said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!”

If King were with us today and we asked him to speak on disability I think he might say that he has another dream. A dream of a world in which disabled people are not judged by the shape of our bodies, or in which people with learning disabilities are not to be turned away from hotels and restaurants because of prejudice. He might dream of a world in which the physical barriers to buildings, transport and the environment exist no longer, and disabled people have the right to mobility and movement. He might dream of a world in which we automatically support disabled people to live in the community, who should no longer fear being shunted into residential homes against their wishes.

King had his dream. We can have ours and we can make our dream come true. This Parliament, which I am proud to open today, is one more step to achieving that dream.

Let’s live the dream. Thank you.

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

第一单元? 如何发表演说 斯蒂芬·卢卡斯? ???? 在人类创造的万物中，语言可能是最卓越的一项创造。通过语言，我们可以分享经验、阐明价值观念、交流思想、传播知识、传承文化。确实，语言对于思想本身至关重要。和流行的信仰不同的是：语言并不是简单地反映事实，而是通过对事件意义的思考来帮助人们感悟现实。? ???? 优秀的演说者尊重语言并懂得如何驾驭语言。语言是演说者展示才能的工具，对于他们来说，如同其他职业的工具一样,语言也有特殊的功用。作为一名演说者，你应该意识到话语的意义，并懂得如何准确无误地使用语言，使其表达清楚，趣味横生，恰如其分。? 如同数字对于会计的重要性一样，准确地使用语言对于演说者至关重要。在没有确切知道一个词语的意思之前，千万不要盲目使用。碰到没有把握的词语，一定要查词典追根究底。当你准备演讲之前，一定要不断地问自己：“我究竟想说些什么？我究竟想表达什么样的意思？”因此，对于一篇演讲稿的用词来说，必须准确无误。? 如果语言表达清楚无误，听众就能很快抓住你的意思。鉴于此，演说者应该使用那些对于大多数人来说非常熟悉的词语，这些词语不需要任何专业背景就能够理解；演说者应该使用那些表达具体而不是相对抽象的词语；并且千万不要乱堆砌辞藻，哗众取宠。? 准确生动地使用语言能够使你的演说贴近生活。有一种方法可以使你的语言更加生动形象，那就是通过展开联想或创造语言图示。通过使用表达具体的词语、明喻或者暗喻等手法可以展开想像。明喻是对事物不同之处的比较，不过有些是相同的：它们总是包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。暗喻是一种隐性的比喻，它能够把两个形式不同但是有一些相通之处的事物联系在一起，暗喻不包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。? 另一种让你的演说生动形象的方法是注重语言的节奏感。有四种修辞格可以让你的语言富有节奏感：排比、重复、头韵和对比。排比是将一组或一系列具有相似结构的词语、短语或者句子排列在一起；重复是在一系列短句或者长句的开头或者结尾使用相同的一句话或者一组词语；头韵是指邻近或者相邻的几个句子中的首个词语的辅音字母相同；对比是将一些意思相反的词语或者句子并列在一起，通常使用排比结构。 恰当地使用语言是指语言的运用要符合特定的场合、特定的观众和特定的主题。同时，恰当地使用语言还意味着演说者要有自己的语言风格，而不是模仿他人的口吻。如果演说者的语言在各个方面都能够做到恰如其分，那么这篇演说成功的机率就会大大提高。??????? 优秀的演说并不是空穴来风、缺乏论据的决断。演说者必须找到强有力的论据来支持其观点。实际上，熟练地使用论据经常是区别一篇优秀演说词和一篇空洞演说词的关键所在。一般来说，通常有三种论据材料：事例、统计数据和证词。? ???????在演说过程中，你可以使用一些简明扼要的例子——比如过去发生的一个很具体的事件——有时候，你可以罗列好几个简明的例子，借此增强听众的印象。扩展性的例子——描述、叙述或者奇闻轶事——通常长一些，但更具体。夸张性的例子描述想像中的情形，这种例子能够将相关的想法有效地传达给听众。这三种例子都能够帮助演说者理清思绪、加强印象或者使演说更加娓娓动听。为了使表达更加富有效果，例子应该生动活泼，丰富多彩。 只要演说者对于统计数据用之得当并且加以解释，这些数据将有助于有效地传达信息，听众也能从统计数据中获益匪浅。最重要的是：演说者应该对统计数据了如指掌，并且运用得恰如其分。由于数据很容易操纵和捏造，因此，对于演说者来说，一定要确保图表没有张冠李戴，并且要确保统计方法正确，数据来源可靠。?

新一代大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译 UNIT 1 2、Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly awash in friends. Yet right before our eyes, we're also changing the way we conduct relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone.Smaller circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此，我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷。不过，我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式。面对面的聊天正在被短信取代；相比打个电话，人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式。脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人，相比之下，现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光。在这些较细微的趋势中，越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机，而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代。所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方？也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊，在这个深渊里，人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代。 8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job?当然，这并不是某个人的错。如今，交友压力来自方方面面。比如来自工作压力，或是整天瞎忙，无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间。有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西，却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外。这样的人还少吗？ 9、Of course, we learn how to make friends — or not — in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然，我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交。最近，关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性。这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题，其主要结论都与孩子缺少“计划外时间”有关。10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids — time for school, time for homework, time for music practice, even time for play. Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street? But that is precisely the kind of fallow time so vital for deeper friendships. It's then that we simply "hang out," with no tasks, no

基础综合英语_1-5单元课后翻译

作文翻译 Unit 1 李明是学化学的，性格开朗幽默，颇有魅力，但英语成绩不佳，每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他，英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金，并亮出了自己的王牌：如果李明不努力，就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉他，学习英语不能只为了文凭，否则他即使大学毕业，也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定，但他明白，他的学业生涯正在攸关之际，必须安心下来埋头学习，坚持不懈。 Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him. He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma. otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake. Unit2 我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育，既美丽又端庄，三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。究其原因，她的事业心极强，整日扑在工作上，每天来往于住处和公司之间，根本没有时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这么大了还单身一人，她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好，甚至还去咨询一些社会学专家。 但是事情在上个月出现了转机，公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位上，琳达遇到了第一个触动她心弦的男人。从此，他们几乎每天约会，琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个男人。决定嫁人的时候，她告诉了我这个好消息。 虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事，我也担忧未来究竟会怎样，但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福，并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从中的一员。 Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty. The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post, Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me. Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Unit 3 食品供应商缺乏诚信已经成为当今社会的一大问题。部分企业欺骗公众，故意散布假消息，颂扬食品添加剂是食品工业的伟大成就，并声称适量的添加剂对健康有益无害。部分有良知的科学家对食品添加剂的含量和毒性展开了深入的病理学研究。研究结果表明，部分常见的食品添加剂经长期，可能会对健康产生危害，这被认为是食品安全研究方面极为重要的

陕西中考英语听力专题整理1

中考英语之听力专题（一） ——整体分析 一、中考英语听力之考情分析 听力在“听、说、读、写”四项基本技能中，“听”占有举足轻重的地位，“说”的能力要在听的基础上培养和提高，而“听、说”能力的形成又有助于巩固所学知识和提高“读、写”能力。因此，要想真正掌握英语这门语言，必须从听力水平入手。 听力在整个的语言交际活动中约占50%左右。听力部分在近年的上海市中考卷中已占总成绩的四分之一，可见听力在英语中的重要性。 《九年制义务教育全日制初中英语教学大纲》明确指出，“按照语言学习规律，学生必须吸收相当数量的语言材料和经过一定的语言实践，才能获得运用英语进行交流的能力。因而，从一开始就应加强“听”的训练。 《2011年版义务教育英语课程标准》对初中阶段的英语听力标准做了详细的分级目标描述。听力目标共五级，听力五级目标具体描述如下： 1.能根据语调和重音理解说话者的意图； 2.能听懂有关熟悉话题的谈话，并能从中提取信息和观点； 3.能借助语境，克服生词障碍，理解大意； 4.能听懂接近正常语速的故事和叙述，理解故事的因果关系；

5.能在听的过程中用适当方式作出反应；能针对所听语段的内容记录简单信息。 初中阶段的听力主要考查学生对所听语言材料的理解能力。听力部分共有五个部分组成：选图片、快速应答、对话、短文和表格。学生对语言基础知识的掌握程度决定了听力理解以及反应速度的差异。取得听力部分高分的诀窍首先在于注重日常生活中听力的不断积累，因为语言是长期积累的结果。注重精听和泛听有效的结合；其次学会在平时用英语思维，排除母语的干扰。再次要学会在听力中“领先一步”。即拿到试卷后，快速预览听力部分的全部内容。做到听前已了解考题的大致趋势，听时胸有成竹、有的放矢抓住每小题的关键词。平时良好的心理素质的培养也是必不可少的。为了提高准确率，建议做到以下几点：1.答题时先做在试卷上。2.学会必要的放弃，不要因为一小题没听清楚而影响整个听力部分。3.听力部分结束后不要轻易改动答案。 二、中考英语听力之考点分析 一、考查的方式。中考英语听力测试的目的在于考查考生从有声材料中获取语言信息并处理信息的能力。考查的方式主要包括捕捉句子中的关键信息；理解和应答日常交际用语；对对话中的人物、时间、地点、事件、季节、价格等做出简单判断；理解、归纳、概括语段、对话等听力材料的主旨大意；根据所听语篇的内容进行推断以及记录相关的信息等。该部分题型设计由浅入深，由易到难，布局合理，情
