二、阅读(Cloze)

Unit 1

At a dinner party the guests and their hosts were involved in a heated discussion , or rather an argument concerning the question of whether women had as much self-control as men .As they argued, signs appeared to one of the guests that a cobra was present in the room . While his first impulse was to jump back ,he knew that this would be a mistake;so he urged the other diners in a commanding tone to hold still without telling them why .Shorty , The cobra emerged on the veranda ; and the man ran quickly to the door to slam it shut . It was soon discovered that the cobra had crawled across the foot of the hostess,who kept calm , not uttering a sound.Thus the conclusion of this crisis laid bare the fact that women have as much self-control as men.

Unit8

As more states require high school students to pass competence exams before graduating , evidence suggests that cheating among students is also on the rise. Many educators are concerned about dishonest behavior among examinees, and have launched a number of campaigns to control cheating . In spite of their efforts , however , cheating seems to be increasingly contagious among students in both high schools and universities . Numerous arguments have been made about the cause of this widespread problem . Some experts believe it is linked to changes in American society as a whole since , unlike earlier times, modern American is largely a nation of strangers . Additionally, moral values are not taught or reinforced as they were in “the good old days.”

三、翻译

1.While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.

However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile . As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.

. 在我等着进大学期间 我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告 说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区 有所学校要招聘一名教师。我因为手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事，于是便提出了申请，但在提出申请的同时我也担心自己一无学位二无教学经验得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。

然而 三天之后 却来了一封信 叫我到克罗伊登去面试。这一路去那儿原来还真麻烦 先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站 再乘十分钟的公共汽车然后还要至少步行四分之一英里。结果。我在六月一个炎热的上午到了那儿 因为心情非常沮丧 竟不感到紧张了。

Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. AndYe t w h i l e m o s t o f u s a r e o n l y t o o r e a d y t o a p p l y t o o t h e r s t h e c o l d w i n d o f c r i t i c i s m,w e are somehow reluctant to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.

2. 对于人的精神来说 赞扬就像阳光一样 没有它我们便不能开花生长。然而我们大多数人动不动就对别人刮起批评的寒风不知为什么却不愿意把表扬的温暖阳光给予我们的同伴。

只要一句话就能带来这样的欢乐 我们为什么却不愿意这样做呢 我有一个到处旅行的朋友总是努力学一点她要去访问的国家的语言。她并不是什么了不起的语言学家 但她的确知道怎样用几种语言说一个词——“美极了”。她可以对一个怀抱婴儿的母亲或者对一个从身上掏出全家照的寂寞的推销员用上这个词。这种能力为她在全世界赢得了朋友。

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is s taring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the nat ive boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bo wl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thi ng -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. Unit2 Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, an d medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before t hese became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform. Of all Jefferson's many talents, one is central. He was above all a good and ti reless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered, and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…" Unit3 While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fe aring as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim. However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an i nterview.
