4. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of

my arrest and my subsequent fate in court:

The author was arrested simply because the policemen thought he intended to steal milk bottles and later in court he was released from the charge just because he had the “right” accent, respec table middle-class parents, reliable witnesses and so on. That is to say, he was arrested arbitrarily and released arbitrarily. And it is this arbitrariness of both his arrest and his release that the author thinks rather disturbing.

2) prove to be true or correct

14. ‘Aha,’ I could see them thinking, ‘unemployed’:

Judging by the look on their faces, the author realized that the policemen must be reasoning like this: ‘Aha, you’re unemployed. That’s why you are stealing.’

The word ‘aha’ is used here to express the satisfaction and joy of the policemen in finding out the “reason” for the young man’s supposed theft.

15. Given the obscure nature of the charge…:

Considering the obscure nature of the charge…

The charge against the narrator—wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence—was very vague or unclear. The magistrate might find him guilty if he had a criminal record, or the magistrate might find him innocent if he had reliable witnesses to prove his good character.

Unit 3 The Present I. Background information 1. Traditional Birthday Celebration in Western Countries In the West, it is customary to hold a party in celebration of a person’s birthday. The guests will come to the party with birthday presents and say “Happy Birthday” to the birthday person. The guests then watch him or her open the presents and he or she thanks them for the presents they have brought. At the party drinks and food are served. Toward the end of the dinner the lights in the room are turned off, and someone comes in from another room with a cake on which are lighted candles, one for each year. At the sight of the cake the guests begin singing “Happy Birthday to You” and the birthday person makes a wish before he or she blows out the candles on the cake. It is said that the wish will come true if all the candles go out in one puff. After that, the cake is cut in slices usually by the birthday person, one piece for each guest. When the party comes to an end, the guests wish the birthday person “Happy Birthday” again and leave. 2. Important birthdays in the West At 21, the age of majority (now lowered to 18 in many countries), one becomes an adult. Usually the family has a big party for the new adult and a major present—an expensive watch or a car—is given him or her. The present, of course, various from family to family. Any birthday past 70 is celebrated in a special way by family members just because the birthday person is getting old and may die before another birthday comes round. That is why the author of The Present says “eighty was a special birthday”. And then, 100—the centennial birthday—is generally regarded as an unusual occasion because few people reach it. The centenarian may even receive a telegram or a letter of congratulations from prominent political figures, such as the Prime Minister and the Queen if the anniversary is celebrated in Britain. Again the family may hold a party attended by relatives and surviving friends as well. Among other things the centenarian takes delight in counting great grandchildren and grandchildren at the party. Ⅱ.New Words 1.rare: adj. not happen / see often; (of a substance, esp. atmosphere)thin, not dense Example: Environments were able to preserve the rare turtle before it reached. Natural resources are rare in this region.

《现代大学英语精读2》课程教案Lesson 11 You Have to Get Me Out of Here

I.Warm-up A. Mountaineer's Essentials ●AT LEAST ONE COMPLETE CHANGE OF CLOTHING including extra for such contingencies as rain & cold weather. ●EXTRA FOOD. Include extra rations in your minimum. This is your insurance policy in case something goes really wrong. ●SUNGLASSES. Every time you set out for a strange area it's good to have a pair along.If you are planning on desert, alpine or winter camping, it's a rare occasion that you will not need them. Even Eskimos worry about snow blindness. ● A KNIFE. A substantial pocket-knife is the order of the day. A good Swiss army knife is excellent or a Buck for bigger job. ●FIRE STARTERS; jelly, ribbon, tablets or impregnated peat bricks. There are emergencies where a fire is both necessary and difficult to start. Every kit MUST include a supply of starters of one kind or another. ●EMERGENCY MATCHES. Fire starters alone don't a fire make. You need matches. Long wooden ones are best & soaked in wax to make them weather proof and keep them in a waterproof container. ● A FIRST AID KIT. ● A FLASHLIGHT. Everyone should carry his own and add extra batteries & bulbs just in case. ●MAPS. You should have a map when going to all but the most familiar places. It's not only a safety factor but can add a lot of enjoyment to your trip, helping you to find the best spots and sights. ● A GOOD QUALITY COMPASS even two might help in case the first one goes berserk. ● A SPACE BLANKET.Today it's an invaluable safety precaution. Weighing only 2 ounces it opens up to a full 56"X84". It reflects up to 90% of a sleeper's body heat while at the same time keeping out rain, rain and snow. B. What Causes Altitude Illnesses? ●At sea level: The concentration of oxygen: about 21% The barometric pressure: averages 760 mmHg. ●As altitude increases, the concentration remains the same but the number of oxygen molecules per breath is reduced. ●At 12,000 feet (3,658 meters) the barometric pressure is only 483 mmHg, so there are roughly 40% fewer oxygen molecules per breath. C.How to prevent Altitude Illnesses? ●If possible, don't fly or drive to high altitude. Start below 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) and walk up. ●If you do fly or drive, do not over-exert yourself or move higher for the first 24 hours. ●If you go above 10,000 feet (3,048 meters), only increase your altitude by 1,000 feet (305 meters) per day and for every 3,000 feet (915 meters) of elevation gained, take a rest day. ●Eat a high carbohydrate diet (more than 70% of your calories from carbohydrates) while at altitude.
