Unit 6 A World of Mystery

The Bermuda Triangle

[1] On 5th December 1945, Flight 19, which consisted of five US Navy planes, took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in fine weather. There was a total of fourteen men on board the planes. The planes were in good condition; they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds. One and a half hours after the take-off, a radio message from one of the planes was heard at the control tower at Fort Lauderdale.

[2] "I don't know where we are."

[3] After that the planes could no longer speak to the control tower, but they could speak to and hear each other, and the control tower could hear them.

[4] "The magnetic compass is going

crazy."

[5] "We're completely lost."

[6] No other messages were heard after that. Nobody else heard from the planes or saw them again. Three hundred planes and many boats searched the area, but not one trace of Flight 19 was found. Then one of the planes that was sent to look for them also disappeared completely.

[7] These planes had disappeared in

a very mysterious part of the world in the western Atlantic Ocean where lots of strange events have taken place. The mystery started long before 1945, and since that year many other ships and planes have also disappeared in this area. It is called the Bermuda Triangle. It is a large, triangular area of the ocean with the island of Bermuda at its northern tip.

[8] Planes and ships disappear in

other parts of the world, but there are more disappearances in the Triangle than in other areas. For years now scientists and others have been puzzled by this mystery. There have been many attempts to explain why people, planes and ships disappear in such high numbers here .

[9] One writer, John Spencer, believes that the ships and planes have been carried off from the sea and sky by flying saucers or UFOs from another planet. Since there are millions of other planets in the universe, Spencer believes there must be other intelligent creatures somewhere in the universe. These creatures are interested in collecting humans and their equipment so that they can examine them carefully.

[10] Another theory is that the geography of the area is responsible for the disappearances of the ships and

planes. Bermuda lies on an earthquake belt. Underwater earthquakes result in large waves appearing suddenly. These waves are so big that they can break a ship into pieces. In the air, a similar thing can happen to airplanes because of sudden strong winds.

[11] As with Flight 19, many boats and planes have reported that their magnetic compasses stop working properly in the Bermuda Triangle. Normally a magnetic compass points towards magnetic north . However, the Bermuda Triangle is one of the two places on Earth in which a compass points towards true north. Therefore, there is something strange about the magnetic properties of the area.

[12] Many people have found these explanations difficult to believe. However, the most recent theory has a scientific basis and is more believable.

The discovery of methane gas on the seafloor of the Bermuda Triangle started a scientist, Dr. Mclver, thinking about an explanation for the mysteries. Sometimes large amounts of the gas escape from the seafloor and rise into the air. This could produce large waves on the surface which would make a ship sink. When the gas mixes with air, it could also cause a ship's engine to stop or it could start a fire. Similarly, as the mixture rises into the air, it could cause an airplane's engine to stop or explode. The explosions would break a ship or a plane into tiny pieces.

[13] This latest theory has yet to be proved but seems to offer a better explanation as to why Flight 19 and all the other planes, ships and people have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle.

百慕大三角

1 1945 年1

2 月5 日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴好，由 5 架美国海军飞机组成的第19 飞行小队从这儿起飞。机上共有14 名机组人员。飞机状态(状况)良好：机上装有当时最好的设备，包括罗盘和无线电设备，还携带有救生筏。飞机可以在水上漂浮90 秒钟。飞机起飞90 分钟后，劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。

2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。’

3 这之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话，但是飞机之间可以通话，而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的谈话。

4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。”

5 “我们完全迷失了方向。”

6 这之后没有收到其他任何信息。再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。300 架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区，但没有找到第19 飞行小队的任何踪迹。而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。

7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的，在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。这种神秘现象在1945 年之前很久就已出

现，而且自那一年以来，又有许多其他的船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。这个地区被称为百慕大三角，是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域，其北端是百慕大岛。

8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪，但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地

区多。多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑。人们做了许多努力，试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。

9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为，这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星的飞碟或者说UFO(不明飞行物)从海上和空中劫走了。他的看法是，既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星，那么在宇宙中某处肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备，以便仔细观察。

10 另一种理论认为该地区的地理状况是

造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。百慕大位于地震带。水下地震导致巨浪突然涌现。这些波浪如此巨大，足以将船只撕成碎片。在空中，由于突然出现的强风，飞机也会遭遇到类似的情况。

11 和第19 飞行小队一样，许多船只和飞机也曾报告说，他们的磁罗盘在百慕大三角不再

正常工作。通常磁罗盘指向磁北极。在地球上有两个地方罗盘刚好指向真北，而百慕大三角就是其中之一。因而，这一地区的磁性有些怪异。

12 许多人认为这些解释令人难以置信。而最新的一种理论具有科学根据，因而比较可信。百慕大海底甲烷的发现使得麦克维尔博士开始考虑如何解释这些神秘现象。有时大量甲烷气体会从海底逸出，升人空中。这可能在海面产生巨浪从而使船只沉没。甲烷和空气混合还可能引起船上发动机停转或者起火。同样，甲烷与空气的混合物升人空中会引起飞机发动机停转或

爆炸。而爆炸会把船只或飞机炸成极小的碎片。

13 这一最新理论仍有待证实，但它似乎给第19 飞行小队以及所有其他的飞机、船只和人员为什么会在百幕大三角失踪提供了一种更好的解释。

Life Elsewhere?

[1] As we all know, the Earth has everything that is needed for life to develop, which is why we are here. But four billion years ago, when the Earth

was formed, what were the chances that life would emerge ? Pretty small, according to biologists—about the same chance that you would have of winning the national lottery five weeks in a row. So we're quite lucky to be here.

[2] What about the chances of life forming elsewhere —in our own galaxy, for instance? The Milky Way contains about 400 billion stars. Some (maybe most) of these have planets orbiting them, and the chances are that many millions —or even billions —of these planets could support life. So it does seem possible that there are some other lottery winners living in the same neighborhood.

[3] And if you think that there are countless other galaxies out there —many of them far bigger than the Milky Way — then it seems obvious that there must be other forms of life somewhere

in the universe.

[4] But is it intelligent life, the kind of life that could build spaceships and pay us a visit?

[5] Here on Earth there have been billions of species, but only one of them has turned out to be intelligent enough to develop technology and fly into space. And even we're not particularly intelligent: the human race will probably blow itself up long before it learns how to visit other parts of the galaxy.

[6] But let's suppose that there are advanced civilizations here in our own galaxy, who have developed fast-moving flying saucers. Would they visit the Earth?

[7] First we need to ask: why should they want to? The most likely answer is that their own sun is at the end of its life, and they need to find somewhere else to

live.

[8] And the next question is: why here? The diagram shows the part of the Milky Way which probably has the largest number of habitable planets. The oldest ones (and therefore ones which are most likely to have advanced forms of life) are in the shaded area. We're towards the edge (marked X).

[9] If I were an alien looking for a new home, I think I would try a few million of my neighboring planets before bothering to travel a hundred thousand trillion miles to visit the Earth, in a journey that would take at least 200,000 years.

[10] But what about all those UFO sightings that are reported every year? Well, most of them are planes. And whatever the others are, they're not flying saucers. If you were a visiting alien with incredibly powerful

technology, what would you do: hide yourself away and keep quiet, or land and take over the Earth? I know what my answer would be.

[11] If there are other forms of life elsewhere in the universe (and I'm sure there are), that's exactly where they are—elsewhere.

地球之外有生命吗?

1 众所周知，地球具有生命所需要的一切条件，这也是我们在地球上得以生存的原因。但是40 亿年之前，当地球形成的时候，出现生命的可能性有多大呢?据生物学家说，可能性相当小，就和你能连续 5 个星期获得全国彩票大奖的概率差不多。所以我们能够在地球上有今天是相当幸运的。

2 在其他地方产生生命的可能性有多大呢——比如，在我们自己的星系中?银河系约有4000亿个恒星。其中有一些(或许大多数)有行星围绕着它们运行，很可能其中有好几百万甚至几十亿个行星能够维持生命。因此，看来确有

可能在同一个星系中居住着其他一些彩票中奖者。

3 而且如果你想到，银河系之外还有数不清的其他星系，其中有好些要比银河系大得多，那么，显而易见，在宇宙的其他地方肯定存在着其他形式的生命。

4 但也是智慧生命吗，是那种能够建造宇宙飞船来访问我们的生命吗?

5 在地球上曾经有几十亿个物种存在，但是结果只有一个物种有足够的智慧来发展技术并

飞人太空。而且即便我们人类也不能算特别聪明：人类在学会怎样到达银河系的其他地方之前，很可能早已自我毁灭了。

6 不过我们还是假设，在我们的银河系中有高级文明，他们已经开发了快速的飞碟。他们会来访问地球吗?

7 首先我们要问：他们为什么想要造访地球?最可能的答案是他们所拥有的恒星行将灭亡，他们必须找到其他居住的地方。

8 下一个问题是：为什么选择地球?下图显示了银河系中适合于生命居住的行星，这部分可能是这类行星最集中的部分。阴影部分是最古

老的行星(因而也就是最有可能具有高级生命的行星)。我们(地球) 靠近边缘(用X 表示这一位置)。

9 如果我是寻找新家的外星人，我想我会先尝试邻近的几百万个行星，然后才会费劲飞行10 亿亿英里来造访地球，因为这一旅程至少需要花上20 万年。

10 然而，所有那些每年报道的目击UFO 的事件又是怎么回事呢?其实，它们中多数是飞机。至于其余的情况，不论它们是什么，都不是飞碟。假如你是拥有超凡技术的星外来客，你会怎么做：是躲起来不吭声，还是登陆并占领地球?我知道我会选择哪个答案。

11 假如宇宙中地球之外真有其他形式的生命存在(我敢肯定有)，那便是它们目前所在之处——地球之外。

The Mystery of the Franklin Expedition

[1] Many years ago, explorers wanted to find a way by sea from Europe to China. In 1845, John Franklin left England with 134 men to look for a

route through the Arctic .

[2] Franklin's ships had everything they needed. They had enough food in tins for three years and thousands of liters of lemon juice to stop disease. They also had two libraries with 3,000 books, excellent maps, scientific instruments, musical instrument and a new invention: a camera.

[3] Franklin and his men left England on May 19th, 1845, and they sailed without problems across the Atlantic towards Canada. When Franklin arrived at Baffin Bay in July 1845, things were going very well for the expedition. On July 26, some sailors saw Franklin's ships when they were entering the bay. That was the last time that anyone saw Franklin and his men alive.

[4] Then, in August 1850 some sailors found the first signs of the

Franklin Expedition while they were searching on Devon Island: some old food tins, some papers, and, something very strange, the graves of three men. The men all died in January 1846 while Franklin was waiting in Baffin Bay for the ice to melt. But why did they die? What happened to them? And where were the ships and all the other sailors? The mystery of the Franklin Expedition was growing stronger...

A. The last message

[5] Jane Franklin was John Franklin's wife. She wanted to know exactly what had happened to her husband. In July 1857, she sent an expedition to the Arctic. A year later, on an island in Baffin Bay, they discovered one of Franklin's sailors. He was lying in a boat at the edge of the sea—dead.

[6] Near the dead man, they found a small stone house. Inside the house they

found a note. It was the last message from the Franklin Expedition.

B. April 25th 1848

We arrived here in September 1846—nineteen months ago. Our ships are trapped in the ice and we cannot move. The men are dying—25 men are already dead. Captain John Franklin died on June 11th 1847. We left the ships two days ago. Our only chance now is to walk.

[7] So, Franklin and his men died in the Arctic—three years after they left England. Without any food, their only chance was to walk to their deaths in the ice. The Franklin mystery was solved.

[8] But was it solved? Why were there so many sailors dying when they left the ships? Franklin had excellent maps of the area. Why did he take the wrong route? There were still questions to be answered...

C. Mystery solved?

D.1984, 140 years later

[9] Dr. Owen Beattie was a scientist at a university in Canada. He wanted to know why so many men died on the Franklin Expedition.

[10] Dr. Beattie began by thinking about the first men who died on the expedition . They were all young and they died after only six months at sea. Twenty more men died the next year. There was something very strange about this and there was only one way to discover what it was.

[11] In 1984, Dr. Beattie went to Baffin Bay with a team of scientists. There, they opened the graves of the three Franklin sailors. Because of the extreme cold and ice, the bodies were in perfect condition. Beattie took small samples of hair and skin and then put the bodies back into the graves.

[12] Back at the university, Beattie made an incredible discovery. From the hair and skin, he found that the three men died from lead poisoning . They had nearly 100 times more lead in their bodies than normal.

[13] But where did the lead come from? Beattie looked closely at some of Franklin's food tins and found the answer. In those days, tins were closed with lead. Usually, this was not a big problem, but these tins were not made correctly. Lead was inside the tins. It was not the ice and cold that killed the men. It was the 8,000 tins of food that they were eating.

[14] Lead also affects the brain. It makes it difficult to think clearly. We can now understand why John Franklin made so many poor decisions.

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting 2

Unit 3 Social Problems In-class Reading Passage 课内阅读练习答案 Part One Preparation 1. Describing the Pictures Picture A：A couple is dining at a restaurant. Both of them are smoking. But they call and complain to the waiter, saying that those sitting at the other tables are coughing too much and that bothers them. However, they have not realized that actually it is their smoking that has caused those people to cough. I have seen many people who behave like this couple. They never take other people’s interest into consideration. They are selfish and always ready to find fault with others. They never see their own wrong doings but always make a false counter-charge. They are despised by most other people. Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar. While most beggars beg for food or drinks, this guy begs for money in order to buy wines. He wants to try all the 596,704 wines existing in this world. He said he already tasted 38,279 wines out of that number. Suppose he tries one kind of wine one day, it would have taken him more than 100 years to come so far. He is really an ambitious man. However, if he has the ambition to try all the existing wines, he should work hard and make money himself instead of begging for other people’s money to enjoy what life can offer. There are some people like this beggar these days. They want to enjoy life, but not based on their own hard work or effort. They want a free lunch and many of them live on borrowed money. I don’t think this is a good attitude towards life. Everyone should work hard to make a good living. Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer in the picture. What is strange about this picture is that I find a tip pot, which is usually placed in a restaurant for waiters or waitress. They get tips for their excellent services to their customers. Waiters or waitresses who get generous tips will provide even better service to customers. However, a court is a place for people to seek justice and fairness. It punishes the guilty and releases the innocent. If judges start to take tips, I doubt that there will be any more justice. People will no longer be treated equally and truth will not be valued. Judgment will not be made based on facts, but on how big the tip is. What an evil place! Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellow prisoner that he did not commit the crimes that he had been accused of committing. His mistake was that he stole the identity of a guy who had committed those crimes. The police took him for that guy and put him in jail. They actually got the wrong person. And he was innocent. Was he really innocent? I don’t think so. He was a thief, and he was not innocent at all. However, he received a heavier punishment than he deserved. So that was an irony. The guy stole another person’s identity and in a sense he inherited his crimes as well. So never take other people’s stuff, whatever it is. No one can escape

Unit 3 Gender Difference新编大学英语第二版第四册课文翻译只是分享

Unit 3 Gender Difference Gender Roles from a Cultural Perspective Over the past few decades, it has been proven innumerable times that the various types of behavior, emotions, and interests that constitute being masculine and feminine are patterned by both heredity and culture. In the process of growing up, each child learns hundreds of culturally patterned details of behavior that become incorporated into its gender identity. Some of this learning takes place directly. In other words, the child is told by others how to act in an appropriately feminine or masculine way. Other details of gender behavior are taught unconsciously, or indirectly, as the culture provides different images, aspirations, and adult models for girls and boys. Recently, for example, a study of American public schools showed that there is a cultural bias in education that favors boys over girls. According to the researchers, the bias is unintentional and unconscious, but it is there and it is influencing the lives of millions of schoolchildren every year. Doctors David and Myra Sadker videotaped classroom teachers in order to study gender-related bias in education. Their research showed that many teachers who thought they were nonsexist were amazed to see how biased they appeared on videotape. From nursery school to postgraduate courses, teachers were shown to call on males in class far more than on female students. This has a tremendous impact on the learning process for, in general, those students who become active classroom participants develop more positive attitudes and go on to higher achievement. As a matter of fact, in the late 1960s, when many of the best all-women's colleges in the northeastern United States opened their doors to male students, it was observed by professors and women students alike that the boys were "taking over" the classroom discussions and that active participation by women students had diminished noticeably. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years. 3 Research done by the Sadkers showed that sometimes teachers unknowingly prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class by assigning them different tasks in accordance with stereotyped gender roles. For instance, one teacher conducting a science class with nursery school youngsters, continually had the little boys perform the scientific "experiment" while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away. Since hands-on work with classroom materials is a very important aspect of early education, the girls were thus being deprived of a vital learning experience that would affect their entire lives.

Understanding the Organization of the Text 1) Introduction: (para.1) Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. 2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (para.2—3) People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence. People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. 3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (para.4—15) i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses. ii) Set reasonable goals. iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame. iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view. v) Do not make negative comments about yourself. vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully. vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences. viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate. ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly. x) Practice being in social situations. 4) Conclusion: (para.16) The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. 2.

Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time. 2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success. The opposite of modesty is arrogance or boastfulness. Modest people don’t want to talk about their

Music to Your Gears Andy Ellis 1 尽管音乐能使心中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，持续大音量地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或是在高速公路上开车时。 2 音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美而令人舒心的音乐会使司机过分放松，以至于超过安全限度，陷入迷糊状态。 3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究重大车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男性是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70％的开车时间都在听音乐。 4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来冲劲十足。这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。 5 在试验中，那些自愿参加实验的司机说，听了声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换挡更快，加速更快，刹车也更急了若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认自己经常走神。在一次高速公路长途驾驶过程中，至少有两位参加试验的司机发现自己在不知不觉中跨越了车道标志。 6 这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题18岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会：“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐有可能让人送命。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。” 7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听“ZZ顶级”乐队最流行的曲子。他说：“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。” 8 还有些人说：“我陷入了深思……”，“人的感觉会变得麻木……”，“听不见别的汽车声是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。” 9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数时候对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利·费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲倦驾驶。有一些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。” 10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。” 11 然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特·韦斯特所指出的那样：“如果说有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。精心选择的曲子有助于我们安全行驶，尤其是对高风险的群体而言。例如，要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼托瓦尼的音乐，他们很可能会把速度放慢。但可悲的是，我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。” 12 除了一些音乐会影响行驶安全，我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明，小交通事故中，有大约40％是由于人们更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的！ 13 无论我们对音乐的品位如何，无论我们的开车风格如何，看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产出了一种汽车智能系统——简称为ARIADNE（实时智能驾驶助理）的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置。它利用雷达技术，一旦面临撞车危险，雷达会使车内的电话响起，警告司机注意。 14 如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围，ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。随着两车之间的距离不断缩小，这种震荡会越来越强烈。要是司机
