英语报刊阅读第四版课后问题答案

tend to acknowledge the more recent immigrants only in retrospect. The immigrants have to wait until they have proved themselves by working, raising a respectable family, achieving citizenship, and maybe even winning a Nobel Prize.

present wave of Hispanic immigration and European waves are similar in roots. But there are two important differences: the European waves were legal whereas the current wave is illegal. The numbers are also different. The current wave is much larger in scale.

evidence shows that the new immigrants behave in positive ways similar to their predecessors. They are family oriented, they value education, and their children are learning English. Overtime, they are intermarrying among growing numbers of other ethnic groups. They are people of faith. They are energetic, looking to move up in life through better jobs–they work hard and for long hours.

often take jobs many Americans simply no longer wish to do. By and large the most recent surge of immigrants is made up of people who are young and mobile, and who work in the least desired sectors of the . economy such as agriculture and service industries for relatively low pay. Today, only about 10 percent of white males leave high school, and high school graduates won’t take the menial jobs that many immigrants are happy to take on. So for the most part, the new immigrants and native Americans are not competing for the same jobs. Even when they do compete more directly with low-skilled workers, the job preference is different. Immigrants find work in agriculture, while less educated natives often end up in manufacturing.

at both the low end and the high end of the skill sets are needed. More immigrants are needed because the retirement of the 80 million baby boomers will increase the burden of supporting the non-working seniors and more immigrants will help reduce the burden.

reunification should be supported to the extent of holding the nuclear family together. Keeping spouses and children together makes humanitarian sense. However, the chain immigration of extended family relatives should be controlled. The random“visa lottery”program should be eliminated.

, it does not mean an amnesty for them. It spells out a long route to legality and citizenship. Illegal immigrants could apply for a green card only after the 4 million families who are now in line for immigration visas have been cleared through the system; the process would take an estimated 8 years. So they would not have an advantage over those who have played by the rules. They would also have to pay fines and demonstrate that they have clean records. In a sense, they would be allowed to earn citizenship over time.

bill wins conservative support for the position by calling for substantially stepped-up security to be in place before more immigrants are admitted.

Republicans are willing to provide illegal immigrants the path to citizenship in return for getting a more secure border and eliminating the much-abused extended chain of family relatives.

talked about a lecture he had attended. The thesis was that the human body has changed irrevocably over the last quarter of a century and that the physical environment will gradually adapt to accommodate the new shape.

to Greg Critser, the reason for Americans’overweight was that the population was growing more slowly than the food supply and as a result fast food, invented as an affordable way of getting families to eat together, became a means of selling surplus fat and sugar to the masses.

Blaine's starvation stunt was a spectacle to the British. Families turned out en masse at weekends to see how his hunger strike was going. Some normal-size people turned up to mock, throwing eggs, cooking food and even trying to cut off the water supply to the hungry American. The reason for such behavior is that the notion of somebody giving up food for 44 days is unthinkable for the British and there are so few starving Americans in the world, which makes his self-imposed ordeal appear ludicrously self-indulgent. What's more, the stunt highlighted the disordered relation to eating which has become habitual in the western society.

impact of fast food on Mexicans is obvious. Obesity has increased by 158 per cent in Mexico in a decade, since fast food outlets began to replace the traditional diet.

fast food developed, cooking has become a spectator sport, something to watch famous people do on telly, as the populations of affluent countries rely increasingly on supermarket meals and takeaways.

in western societies, in order to slim down are endlessly trying Atkins and other fashionable diets such as the cabbage soup diet or modified Atkins.

traditional working class diet was plain food while present-day working class diet is superficially much more cosmopolitan —curries, pizzas, the ubiquitous Chinese takeaway—but adapted to satisfy the British appetite for saturated fat, salt and sugar.

result of westerners' reversal of eating habits is that as millions of ordinary people grow fat, the elite become slender. author wanted to join the euro.

1. Tolstoy's observation on happy and unhappy families was "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

2. He thinks that Tolstoy was totally wrong. He believes that unhappy families are really similar to one another and there's much more variability among happy families.

to the researchers, it is those other parts of relationships –the positive factors -- that are potent predictors of whether couples feel committed to relationships.

have placed stresses on long-term relationships. Two-income couples juggling demanding jobs and professional advancement can sometimes detract from family and intimate relationships. Simultaneously, the rising number of women in the workforce has given women the economic security to leave unhappy relationships, the sexual revolution has made sex before and outside marriage common, and the destigmatization of divorce has contributed to the phenomenon of serial monogamy.

finds that the juxtaposition of high expectations with the stress and cycles of relationships appears to be an important reason why many relationships don't work.

reported being content at the start of relationships and still contented two years later. Their feelings about relationships were not intense but they were positive.

found that very successful couples had something besides children that was enjoyable to their relationship. It could be travel, hospice work, working on a summer place. Those things bring stability because they confer pleasure and identity in the way people live together.

8. Those factors are social and family supports, socioeconomic status, government and workplace policies. They can help and hinder relationships.

, the decision to live alone is common in diverse cultures whenever it is economically feasible. Germany, France and Britain have a greater proportion of one-person households than the ., as does Japan. According to the author, China, India and Brazil are also seeing fast growth of one-person households.

dated images of living alone are anxiety, dread and loneliness.

interviewing 300 single people, he finds that living alone seems to encourage more, not less social interaction. markets, flourishing cities and open communications systems make the life of single people more appealing because they give them the capacity not only to live alone but to engage with others when and how they want to and on our own terms. research found that single people 35 and older were more likely than those who lived with a spouse or a romantic partner to spend a social evening with neighbors or friends.

surveys find that married people with children are more likely than single people to hunker down at home. Those in large suburban homes often splinter into private homes to be alone.

communication technologies make living alone a social experience, so being home alone does not feel involuntary or like solitary confinement. The person alone at home can digitally navigate through a world of people, information and

ideas. Internet use does not seem to cut people off from real friendships and connections.

Hampton finds that heavy web users are more likely than others to have large and diverse social networks, more likely to meet diverse people with different perspectives and beliefs.

interviews the author found that elder single people had a clear preference for living alone, which allowed them to retain their feelings of independence and integrity, and a clear aversion to moving in with friends or family or into a nursing home.

. According to Deborah Carr’s research, at 18 months after a spouse, only one in four elderly men and one in six elderly women say they are interested in remarrying, one in three men and one in seven women are interested in dating some day; and only one in four men and one in eleven women are interested in dating immediately.

predicted that rates of living alone would plummet because of the challenged economy. However, thus far there’s little evidence that this has happened. The latest census report estimates that more than 32 million Americans live alone today, up from million in 2000 and 31 million in 2010.

November, 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued the decision that one second past midnight on May 17, 2004, gay marriage will become legal. The basis of the court's decision is the state constitution's promise of equal rights. were full of jubilation, and congratulated each new couple on their marriage. They claimed that the ceremonies mark the biggest advance in civil rights since racial segregation was abolished.

right’s reaction was less militant than might have been expected. Only about 50 demonstrators showed up at Boston's city hall to protest about "Marriage Destruction Day". Even in the state's less liberal towns, gay couples were treated politely, with standard New England reserve. The staff were following the orders of the governor, who had ruled that the law should be respected.

republican Governor, Mitt Romney is trying to enforce a long neglected 1913 state law that denies marriages licences to out-of-state couples whose home states would outlaw their unions. 39 states have passed laws restricting marriage to heterosexual unions. In the meantime. Conservatives in Massachusetts want to push through an amendment to their state constitution.

to Jonathan Rauch, America no longer really has a national consensus about what marriage means. In a Los Angeles Times poll, 24% Americans said that gays should be allowed to marry, and 34% opposed any form of legal union for same-sex couple; but the bigger number-- 38% -- plumped for civil unions.

think that the issue can be used to galvanise the conservative base this year. Various ballot initiatives are planned around the country, the idea being that they will draw to the polls the social conservatives who supposedly stayed at home.

7. Because he believes that terminating a pregnancy is a fairly grisly affair and the gay marriage conflict will be less vicious than the abortion conflict.

to Debrahlee Lorenzana, she was fired because, dressed in pencil skirts, turtlenecks and wearing peep-toe stilettos, she was considered “too hot”.

loves plastic surgery and thinks that it’s the best thing that ever happened.

men earn, on average, 5 percent more than their less-attractive counterparts. Good-looking women earn 4 percent more. It’s looks, not merit, that all too often rule.

couple of decades ago, it was a makeup-less Kate Moss who was considered the beauty ideal. Now, it’s a plastic-surgery-plumped Paris Hilton.

to economist Daniel Hamermesh, a good-looking man will make some $250,000 more than his least-attractive counterpart.

the current economy, when employers have hiring options, looks aren’t just important; they’re critical.

percent of hiring managers told Newsweek that qualified but unattractive candidates are likely to have a harder time

landing a job, while more than half advised spending as much time and money on “making sure they look attractive”as on perfecting a résumé. When it comes to women, apparently, 61 percent of managers said it would be an advantage for a woman to wear clothing showing off her figure at work. Looks are placed above education in order of importance. to Plato’s “golden proportions,”an ideal face has a width exactly two thirds of its length and a nose no longer than the distance between the eyes.

show that unattractive women remain at a disadvantage in low-level positions like secretary, while in upper-level fields that are historically male-dominated, good-looking women can suffer a so-called bimbo effect. They are viewed as too feminine, less intelligent, and, ultimately, less competent.

is a disadvantage. There exists bias against elderly men and women. Eighty-four percent of managers told Newsweek they believe a qualified but visibly older candidate would make some employers hesitate, and while ageism affects men, too, it’s particularly tough for women.

live in extremely poor conditions, surviving in a shack or on the street with little access to clean water, food or health care. But they score about a 4, meaning they are slightly more happy than not. This example shows that happiness is more related to attitude than to material well-being.

2. They have been evaluating what they term the Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of people around the world by inviting them to answer questions about their moods and outlook. Their finding is that human beings, no matter where they live and almost without regard to how they live, are preset to be happy.

thinks of the predilection as a “gift”bestowed on people by evolution that helps people adapt and flourish even in fairly trying circumstances. The other explanation is that people are “socialized”to be happy in order to facilitate smooth social functioning.

4. According to a survey of college students in the mid-1990s, the three most cheerful locales are Puerto Rico, Columbia and Spain. Ed Diener thinks that the high spirits of the relatively poor Puerto Ricans and Columbians stem from a “positivity tendency”that may be rooted in cultural norms regarding the value of believing in aspects of life in general to be good.

Asians tend to weight the worst areas of their life when computing their life satisfaction. Shinabo Kitayama explains that it may be a reflection of a difference in cultural expectation. He believes that Asians from the beginning of life are trained to focus on the negative aspects of themselves and that extends to Asians’view of happiness itself.

to Kitayama, Asians often see little value in personal happiness that upsets family or group harmony. When asked to estimate their happiness in surveys, Asians might naturally underrate themselves. The reason is that Asian happiness is much more social than personal.

and political modernization has brought about many changes in Asia. A wealth of new possibilities are now available to Asians across the region, yet many of those choices —what to buy, where to work, when to marry —come into direct conflict with the old interdependent values still held by the society or by their families. There is enormous stress in these transitional cultures. The result can be a kind of cognitive dissonance that leaves Asians individually freer but perhaps less happy, at least in the short run.

to researchers at Rotterdam’s Eramus University, the happiest people in the world are Danes, the Swiss and the Maltese, all of whom score 8 on a 10-point scale of happiness.

to the article, in the Western cultures, the pursuit of happiness is a national obsession whereas in the Eastern cultures, as Chung Tsu put it, happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.

英语报纸时文阅读

时文阅读1.低头一秒，家毁人亡！ 随着科技遍布全世界，智能手机成为了“通讯神器”。但是对于那些精力不集中的司机、骑行者和行人来说，手机在他们手里就是一把上膛的枪 Alexander Heit, a 22-year-old college student with good grades and a quick wit?[w?t]（智力，才智）, was driving in Greeley, in the US state of Colorado, when he decided to reply to a text message on his phone. "Sounds good my man, see ya soon, I'll tw" We don't know the rest. The message was interrupted by a crash. Heit died. While the young man was distracted, he drifted into oncoming traffic, according to the International Business Times. On my cycling trips around Beijing, I often think about the many tragic cases like Heit’s that I’ve read about in my home country over the years. I am astounded by the number of my fellow cyclists and also scooter riders who I see not only carrying on phone conversations but also only reading text on their phones. Their heads are down, eyes transfixed by a small luminous screen, oblivious to the world they’re rushing toward.Of course, the faster you’re going, the quicker a distraction can become a tragedy.。 Studies show that staring at a cellphone for 3 seconds while driving at 60 kilometers an hour is as dangerous as driving blind for 50 meters, according to Xie Caifeng, a fellow at the research office of Shunyi Court in Beijing, writing in a column published by China Daily last year.Xie wrote that official statistics showed that “the use of cellphones while driving was the top reason for traffic accidents leading to death in Zhengzhou, Henan province”. It is also illegal. According to the national traffic code, it is illegal to use hand-held phones while driving, and an offender can lose points on their license and receive a fine of up to 200 yuan ($29.75), Xie wrote.Penalties are one deterrent, but education and social pressure also are important. Two years ago, the Shanghai office of the media company Havas designed a campaign for the Global Road Safety Partnership using 350 smashed cell phones that had been in the hands of people who had died while texting in China, showing their last words.They were mounted on black slabs（板子）like gravestones(墓碑) as part of an installation for Road Safety Day in 2015, which was made into a film,?SMS Last Words. It showed heart-rending last exchanges like this one:： Driver: Don't worry, I'll be home quickly.

Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees. Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way. In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder. The reform will take effect in two directions. State —financed students will begin

Into a world of dreams WHETHER we admit it or not, once we hid a dream in our hearts: to discover a new world, whether inside a wardrobe (衣橱) or on the other side of a mirror, and have an exciting adventure there. A girl called Alice does just this in Alice in Wonderland, a 3D film which comes out on March 5. The movie is more than a *remake of the children’s literary classic (文学经典). It features an imaginative twist (改编) on English writer Lewis Carroll’s beloved 1865 story. Carroll’s Alic e follows a talking white rabbit underground. There she jumps through a mirror to find a garden and meets many strange characters. But in the new film, Alice is 17 and is attending a party, at which she is proposed (求婚) to by a wealthy suitor (追求者). She runs away, following a rabbit into a hole and ends up in Wonderland, a place she visited many years before, but doesn’t remember. The rabbit says that she has returned because she is the only one who can save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign (统治) of terror. The new Alice story is as profound (深刻的) as the original. Many people believe it is a story about the existence (存在) of non-existence –something that is immaterial but existent. This piece of dialogue between Alice and the Red Queen illustrates (解释) the point: “Take a bone from a dog. What remains?”, asked the Red Queen. Alice considered: “The bone wouldn’t remain. And the dog wouldn’t remain; it would come to bite (咬) me –and I’m sure I shouldn’t remain!” “Then you think nothing would remain?” said the Red Queen. “I think that’s the answer”. “Wrong,” said the Red Queen: “the dog’s temper (脾气) would remain.” Thus, Alice’s journey down the hole turns out to be a philosopher’s quest (追寻) for true knowledge. In Sophie’s World by Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder, the philosopher tells Sophie she must think like a child to be a true philosopher. Wonderland is the place to do this, to release your inhibitions (压抑), let go of pre-conceptions (偏见) and really get to grips (掌握) with reality. I had fun with ... T HIS winter break I haven’t spent much time with my parents. Today, I felt I should make it up to them. This morning, I went with them to the gym and while my mom exercised, I played basketball with my dad. Even though he’s middle-aged, he still has some juice in him. He actually beat (打败) me. After that, we went to eat lunch at a local dim sum (点心) restaurant. It was full. We decided that it wasn’t worth it and we went to an American restaurant that my parents went to when they were young. The food was really good. I was surprised at the fact that my parents liked food other than Chinese. As for me, I get a little bored with Chinese food since I eat it every day. I wanted to explore. We ended up eating a load of food, including chicken wings, clam chowder (a kind of soup that came from England), and even New York steak (牛排) with a steamed (蒸) potato. Stuffed (塞满的) with food, we decided to take a walk in a mall. We looked through a lot of clothes stores. This part of the day was my least favorite because my parents didn’t let me buy anything. But it was still nice to look through some cool clothes and more. Later, we found a movie theater. My mom wanted to see a movie called It’s Complicated. But there were no tickets left so we went to see Up in the Air. It was a pretty good film. It’s a movie about the importance of famil y life. This day has taught me that once in a while, it is OK to spend time with your family. Parents can be fun when they are not pressuring (施压) you about homework or school.

英文报刊阅读小技巧

英文报刊阅读小技巧 报刊是人们了解国内外大事的窗口，尤其是在社会经济文化迅速发展，国际交流日益频繁的今天，报刊的作用就更为突出。在我国，越来越多的读者想利用英文报刊了解国内外时事，开拓视野，增长知识。如何快速而准确地获得英文报刊的信息，已成为广大读者急需解决的问题。为此，本文着重谈谈阅读英文报刊时需注意的几个方面。 首先，必须掌握英文报刊标题的语言特点。标题是新闻报道的点睛之笔，通常以鲜明的黑体大字在文章的抢眼处标出，它既要扣住全文要点，突出中心，又要新颖醒目，其作用不可忽视。但对不少读者来说，首先碰到的问题是：不少标题奇特，无法一看就懂。究竟是什么东西妨碍顺利阅读和准确理解标题呢？原因在于新闻报道作为一种独特的文体，它的文法和用词与一般的书面英语有很大的区别。这一点在标题的使用上显得尤为突出。因此，对英语学习者来说，掌握标题的语言特点，是读懂标题的关键。新闻报道标题的主要特点是短而精，力求删繁就简，具体表现在两个方面：一是省略某些语法功能的虚词；二是标题的时态有其特定的习惯用法。归纳起来，其语言特点见之于下： 1．在不发生歧义的情况下，冠词往往被省略。例如： Boy，7，killed by Ejection From Cockpit of Navy Jet（The Washington Post）Standard English：A Boy，7，killed by Ejection From the Cockpit of a Navy Jet Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion（International Herald Tribune）Standard English：The Chinese Population Is Put at 1．3 Billion 2．系动词经常被省略。例如： Joblessness Still a Problem（China Daily） Standard English：Joblessness Is Still a Problem Forecast of Mexican quake accurate，but ignored（Science News）Standard English：The Forecast of Mexican quake is accurate，but it is ignored 3．连词、代词、引导词也会省略。例如： Kings，sheiks rap USSR，US（China Daily） Standard English：Kings and sheiks rap USSR and US Anne and baby are well（South China Morning Post） Standard English：Anne and her baby are well Far fewer pitclosures and job losses likely than rumored（The Times）

英语报刊阅读技巧

一、简短小词(名词&动词) 英语新闻标题总是力求用有限的字数 来表达新闻的内容，为此，在措词上尤其要狠下功夫，选词尽可能经简达意、简短明了，偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性，而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词，标题一般不用damage，而用一些较之简短的词，如hit、harm、hurt、ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词，标题一般不用abandon，而用drop、give up、quit、skip或yield等，表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时，一般不用explode，而用blast、crash、ram或smash等词。简而言之，英语新闻标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。 动词: aid＝assist（帮助，援助） alter＝change or modify（改变） ask＝inquire（询问）
