Unit Five Animal world

Part One Viewing, Understanding, and Speaking

Video Script

Peter Brown: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to "Animal World" on Channel 2. I'm your host Peter Brown. You might have read or heard in the news about the discovery of a new animal in the Bobo area. Today we have invited three people to come to our program to talk about that. Mr. Dickens, a famous explorer, who actually found the new animal. Mrs. Smith, whose family has been living in that area for generations, Mr. Johnson, a well-known zoologist. First, Mr. Dickens, could you please tell us briefly how you discovered the new animal?

Mr. Dickens: Yup. You know I have been interested in exploring the animals in the Bobo area. Five days ago, when I was walking through the woods there, I came across a group of strange animals. They were crawling on the ground and making the sound "bobo".

Peter Brown: Interesting. What do they look like?

Mr. Dickens: They look like snakes but they each have a pair of transparent wings. Peter Brown: Really? Mrs. Smith, you've lived in that area for a long time, have you seen this kind of animal there?

Mrs. Smith: Yeah. I think they have lived there for centuries. Many of our villagers have reported seeing them. I've seen them only once. I think they're really ugly. They are black, with a long tail and small bright eyes. Really scary.

Peter Brown: So, Mr. Johnson, you're a zoologist. From these descriptions, could you tell us what kind of animal this may be?

Mr. Johnson: It's hard to say at this point. I need more information. Mr. Dickens, you mentioned that they have wings. Can they fly?

Mr. Dickens: Erm... I don't think so. I stayed there all day long observing them. None of them flew.

Mr. Johnson: Ms Smith, as a native in that region, do you or your villagers happen to know how they produce their young? Do they bear live young, or do they lay eggs? Mrs. Smith: Oh, they lay eggs. Very colorful ones.

Mr. Johnson: In that case, probably they are a type of reptile. But I'm not sure about them. I think further investigation and research will have to be done on that.

Peter Brown: Thank you. Mr. Johnson. If any of you in the audience has any question to ask, please raise your hand and I'll call on you.

Audience 1: Excuse me, Mr. Dickens. Do you think these animals are dangerous? Did they attack you when they became aware of your presence?

Mr. Dickens: I don't know. I don't think they knew I was around since I stayed away from them quite a distance.

Audience 2: Mr. Johnson, do you think this snake-like animal is poisonous?

Mr. Johnson: As I mentioned before, we need to do further study on these animals before we can answer these types of questions about them.

Peter Brown: Thank you Mr. Johnson. We are looking forward to further research on these strange animals. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for watching. Remember 6 p.m. every Friday. We'll lead you to a world of animals.

Part Two Listening,Understanding, and Speaking

Listening I

It was very cold out. Two rabbits were playing in a field. Far away they saw two small red things. The rabbits went closer to look.

The two red things were pieces of an old red blanket. The pieces were thick and warm, but they were very small. They were too small to use.

Soon a fox came by. "Good day, my friends," he said. "You look worried. Do you have a problem?" The rabbits answered, "Yes! We need a needle and thread to sew the pieces of blanket together." "You can use my needle and thread if I can use the blanket too," said the fox.

The rabbits used the fox's needle and thread. When the rabbits finished their sewing, the fox looked at their work. "You did a good job," he said. "I'll see you tonight." Night came and the wind was very cold. The fox came back to the rabbits."Good evening, my friends. It's a cold, cold night. But we will be warm! We have the nice, warm blanket you sewed with my needle and thread. You sewed down the middle of the blanket. The right thing is for me to sleep in the middle." "Yes, that's right, Mr.

Fox," said the rabbits.

So the fox lay down on the ground. The rabbits put the middle of the blanket over him. The blanket covered him, but it did not cover the rabbits. They were cold all night! Listening II

Once there was a farmer in Laos. Every morning and every evening he and his buffalo plowed his field.

One day a tiger saw the farmer and his buffalo working. The tiger was surprised to see a big animal listening to a small animal. He wanted to know more about the buffalo and the man.

After the man went home, the tiger spoke to the buffalo. "You are so big and strong. Why do you do everything that the man tells you to?" The buffalo answered,"Oh, the man is very intelligent." The tiger asked, "Can you tell me how intelligent he is?" "No, I can't tell you," said the buffalo,"but you can ask him."

So the next day, the tiger said to the man, "Can I see your intelligence?" But the man answered,"It's at home." "Can you go and get it?" asked the tiger. "Yes," said the man, "but I am afraid that you would kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?"

After the man tied the tiger up, he didn't go home to get his intelligence. He took his plow and hit the tiger. Then he said,"Now you know about my intelligence, even if you haven't seen it."

Practice One

A lion wakes up one morning feeling really wild and unwell. He goes out and meets a small monkey and roars: "Who is the mightiest of all the jungle animals?" The trembling monkey says, "You are, all mighty lion!" Later, the lion sees an ox and asks the same question. The frightened ox answers:"Oh great lion, you're the mightiest animal in the jungle!"

Feeling good now, the lion confidently walks up to an elephant and roars the same question. Fast as lightning, the elephant takes hold of the lion and knocks it against the tree six times and then raises his giant foot and stamps on the lion till it looks like a pancake. The lion wanders away, lets out a cry, and shouts to the elephant: "Just because you don't know the answer doesn't mean you have to get so unhappy about it!"

Practice Two

Staff and boys were sound asleep at the Sussex boarding school when fire broke out in the early hours yesterday. Forty boys might all have been burnt to death, if the alarm had not been raised by the Headmaster's dog, Peter, whose frantic barking woke the Headmaster and his family.

"Peter was asleep in the kitchen of my house," Mr. Phillips told our reporter. "He's not normally a nervous dog, but I thought he seemed a bit nervous last night. Then shortly after midnight he started making a loud noise. At first I thought he'd been frightened by thieves, but when I let him out he went straight over to C block, where the dormitory is located. I woke the master on duty and we discovered that a fire had started in the games room, where the boys had played table tennis and other games.

We used the fire extinguisher and put out the fire, but had it not been for Peter, we might have had a tragedy on our hands."

The fire department believes that the fire was probably caused by a lit cigarette end—a little surprising perhaps, since smoking is strictly forbidden in the games room. Practice Three

Sea lions get bored easily, explains trainer Hurley, because they're smart. So she spends at least 20 minutes, three times a day, with each sea lion. She plays games with them, teaches them new skills, and praises their efforts.

For example, Hurley started by training each sea lion to chase after a ball and touch it with its nose. First she waited for the sea lion to do it by chance. Then she praised the animal with positive reinforcement, such as food, petting, or a game. Eventually, the sea lions knew to chase after the ball to get a reward.

The next step was to get the sea lions to swim beside lifesize plastic whale models, Hurley says. She and her team placed the models in a boat and the sea lions would follow them. "We began training the animals to touch their noses to the whale's body," says Hurley, just like they did with the ball. "Eventually, the sea lions learned to do it." Then they trained them to carry videotape recorders on their bodies and videotape the plastic whale.

Now they're almost ready to chase after the real thing, Hurley says. If successful, she may send them to videotape other marine mammals, such as the enormous blue whales.

A=After doing all that work, you might wonder, do the animals get paid? Well, not in

dollars and cents. But they do get loving caretakers, a good home, food, and drink—and human companions who are willing to play plenty of games.

V= vistor M= marine biologist

(At Sea World in San Diego, some visitors from China are asking questions about seals to a marine biologist working there.)

V1: I haven't ever seen a live seal before. Do many seals live in the ocean here?

M: No, most of them live in cold climates, some in the far north in the Arctic, and others in the far south, Antarctica. You know, we are lucky that we have as many living species of seals as we do have.

V1: Why?

M: Because seal hunting, by the late 1800's, had killed so many seals that many species were almost gone forever.

V2: What saved them?

M: Many international agreements were reached to protect seals. This included the establishing of many seal sanctuaries, places where it is now illegal to hunt and kill them. Also, here in the United States there is less demand for seal fur than there used to be.

V2: Why is that?

M: There are now many people and organizations who are against the killing of animals for their fur. Also there are many new synthetic fibers that are so warm that fur is no longer needed.

V1: How many species of seals are there?

M: Eighteen. The most common one is called the harbor seal. It is found in both the north Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

V1: Thanks so much for talking with us.

M: You're welcome.

Section I

I was a waiter at a restaurant on a beach in Southern California. One day while still new at the job, I noticed two kids jumping up and down near the water's edge, pointing toward an animal that appeared to be struggling in the waves. I decided I couldn't watch a dog drown.

Jumping through the window, I ran toward the beach. As I started to take off my coat, a man came by. "What are you doing?" he asked.

"I'm going to save that dog!" I said.

Puzzled, he asked where I was from.

"The Midwest," I replied.

"Oh, I see," he said. "They don't have sea lions there, do they?"

Section II

Le Le and Ya Ya have arrived at the Memphis Zoo this week. The number of giant pandas in the United States has increased to nine. They spread across four zoos. It's not easy getting them here.

In order to bring a pair of pandas into the United States, each zoo has to get a permit, because the panda is the type of animal that may soon disappear from the world.

"Pandas are difficult to study in the wild. They live in mountains. They are shy, so it's rare that you would actually see one."

What the Western scientists know about pandas today mostly comes from studies of Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing at the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoo.

Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing were the first two pandas in the U.S. zoo. They were given as a gift to the United States in 1972 by the Chinese government.

The nine pandas now in the U.S. belong to the Chinese government, and are in the American zoos for 10 to 12 years. A baby panda which was born at the San Diego zoo three years ago also belongs to China.

Studies on pandas can improve their conditions. They provide knowledge that helps save the wild population.

Section III

Mice like to be in pairs. If you want to keep only one mouse as a pet, you need to be sure to spend enough time with the animal. Mice need attention. No matter how much you love it and play and care for it, nothing takes the place of a friend for your mouse. No one knows a mouse better than another mouse.

If you're going to add a second mouse to your family, it's best to let one mouse get used to its home for a while first. Then, a few weeks later, add the second pet. Keep them separated for a while so they both get used to the home and let them visit each other regularly. Then after a few days, they should be able to jump right in and be friendly with each other. Getting two female mice is usually a good idea. They get along well. Male mice will get along fine when they're young, but once they're adults, they are likely to hate each other. Getting one male mouse and one female mouse may also not be a good idea, unless you want a huge number of mice running around in your house within a few months. Mice produce babies quickly and frequently.

Video Script

Jane: (looking at the pyramid they built) Wow, partner, we did a great job, didn't we? Tom: Yes, we sure did. Our planning paid off, didn't it?

Harry: I don't see what is so good about yours. I mean, didn't you see how tall ours was before it collapsed?

Jane: Sure, but the contest was to see who could build the taller pyramid that would remain standing.

Tom: Do you know why you failed? You didn't lay a solid foundation. You know, a solid foundation is very important for a structure like this.

Alice: I don't think we failed. At least we've tried and we've gained valuable experience.

Tom: Yes, yes, but where is your pyramid now? It's nowhere to be found.

Harry: Tom, you are paying too much attention to the final result. In my opinion, the

process is more important.

Alice: Yeah and I really enjoyed the risk-taking process. I guess I always like to take risks and it's great fun. Even when I'm walking, I like to take a new path so I can see different and interesting things. Sometimes I get lost, but I always see something different.

Jane: I think it's better to plan ahead, to know what you are doing, and play it safe. I always try to imagine the possible results before I begin anything new. So when we were building the pyramid, my chief concern was on the possibility of collapse and the stability of the pyramid.

Alice: But you can never be sure of success in everything you try, no matter how well you plan ahead. A person would never learn anything new or interesting without taking some risks. I'm convinced of that!

Harry: I agree with Alice. I'd rather try something challenging or different and fail than to never attempt anything that might not succeed.

Alice: And do you remember the aim of the competition? It was to build the highest possible pyramid of cards that would remain standing.

Tom: But how can you build a high pyramid without a solid foundation? Being ambitious and taking risks isn't always bad and may even be exciting, but most of us want to win in a contest.

Jane: And whatever you say on how exciting it was to take a risk, you lost the game. It's something you have to face.

Tom: Yeah, that's right. And we did what was needed to win.

Alice: You two have to remember that this was just a game. Our main purpose was to have fun. On more important things we might take fewer risks.

Harry: Yeah, she's right. Of course we think that solid foundations matter at times. That's why we're going to college. That's our solid foundation for life, and we don't take that many risks in getting our education.

Tom: Still, I think you and Alice are different from Jane and me. We approach both life and games differently.

Harry: That makes all of our lives more interesting, right?

Other three: Right!

In the old days, ants and cicadas were friends. They were very different. The ants were hardworking, but the cicadas were lazy.

In the summer, the ant families were very busy. They knew that in the winter they would have to stay in their anthill. They wanted to have enough food for the whole winter.

While the ants worked hard, the cicadas didn't do anything. They sang and danced all day. When they were hungry, they could always fly to the farm and get something to eat.

One day, the cicadas were singing and dancing. They saw a long line of ants bringing food to their anthill. The cicadas said, "Stop, my silly friends. It's a very nice day. Come and dance with us." The ants said, "Don't you know about winter? If you don't work now, you'll have trouble later."

But the cicadas said, "We have strong wings. We can fly anywhere we want. Stupid ants!" And they continued to sing and dance.

In the winter, it rained all the time and it was very cold. In the anthill, there was singing and dancing. But the cicadas had nothing to eat. They asked the ants for some food. The ants said, "We thought you could fly anywhere. Now who is stupid and silly?"

The cicadas cried and said their wings were wet from the rain. The ants said,"We're sorry, but now it's too late. If we help you, there won't be enough food for us. Sorry, very sorry." And the ants closed their door.

The next day, when the ants opened their door, all the cicadas were dead! That's why we can hear cicadas sing in the summer, but in the winter they are silent.

Many years ago, there lived a rich man who wished to do something for the people of his village. First, however, he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

In the center of the main road into the village he placed a very large stone. Then he hid nearby and waited to see what would happen. Soon an old farmer passed with his cow.

"What fool put this big stone right in the center of the road? " said the farmer, but he made no effort to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. Another man came along, and the same thing happened; then another came, and another, etc. All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road, but not one of them took the time and trouble to remove it.

Then came a young man, who was kind-hearted and hard-working. He saw the stone and said to himself, "It will be dark soon. Strangers or neighbors will come along in the dark, stumble on the stone, and perhaps hurt themselves."

The young man then began to remove the stone. He had to push and pull with all his strength to move it to one side. But imagine his surprise when under the stone, he found a bag full of money and this message: "This money is for the thoughtful person who removes this stone from the road. That person deserves help."

A little girl walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one morning was not good and clouds were forming, she walked to the elementary school as usual.

As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning. The mother of the little girl was very worried. She thought her daughter would be frightened on the way home, and feared that the storm might harm her child. Following the roar of the thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword.

Being concerned, the mother got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. Soon she saw her daughter walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look and smile. One followed another, each with the little girl stopping, looking at the light and smiling.

Finally, the mother called her over to the car and asked, "What are you doing?" The child answered, "God keeps taking pictures of me!"

Harry hears his alarm and turns on the radio. He hears the announcer say, "Good morning, everyone. And I hope it's a good day for you, not an unlucky one. It's Friday, the 13th. It's cold and rainy outside. It's a good day to stay home, if you can."

What's unlucky about Friday the 13th? Harry dresses and goes into the kitchen. He opens the refrigerator. Where's the orange juice? Harry looks in the back of the refrigerator. He knocks a carton of milk off the shelf. The milk spills on his pants and shoes and covers the floor. He cleans up the mess and runs to change his clothes. By now, he's late for work. Where are his car keys? He looks everywhere, then finally opens the refrigerator again. There they are, on the top shelf. He can't find his umbrella, so he runs through the rain to his car. The seat is all wet because he didn't close the window last night. Harry puts the key in the ignition and turns it. The engine starts, then dies. He tries again, but the same thing happens. Harry looks at the gas gauge. It's on empty.

Harry leaves his car and goes back in the house. He takes off his clothes and gets back into bed. It's Friday the 13th, a good day to stay home.

"The elderly" is a phrase that used to bring out many negative feelings. Many older people felt that they were finished with the best part of their lives. They just stayed at home and counted the days. For them, the days of excitement and adventure were over.

The elderly today, in contrast, choose a quite different lifestyle. They are often very healthy and adventurous. Some are still enthusiastic about their work, and many are excited about their interests. Retirement is not boring or frightening for them.

Helen is a perfect example. For forty-three years, she had been accustomed to the traditional life of a housewife and mother. During that time, she had brought up six children. She had ten grandchildren, and they were rapidly growing up.

When her last child finally moved out, she was not sad about it. On the contrary, she was thrilled about the opportunity for adventure. Helen began to make her preparations for the adventure of a lifetime. "And then," she says simply, "I took off."

Section I

One day, an old mule fell into a farmer's well. Fortunately, the water wasn't very deep, so the mule stood on the bottom of the well.

The farmer didn't think it was worth the trouble to save the mule. So he called his neighbors together and asked them to help him haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

When the dirt started falling, the old mule got frightened. But as the farmer and his neighbors kept shoveling, and the dirt kept falling, the mule got a strange idea: Why not just shake off the dirt every time a shovel load hit him and step up?

So that's what he did, as blow after blow of dirt hit him on the back. "Shake it off and step up. Shake it off and step up." The mule kept telling and encouraging himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how bad the situation seemed, the old mule fought off the panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up. And it wasn't long before the exhausted old mule stepped up over the wall of the well to freedom.

The dirt which was going to bury him had actually helped him. This happened because of the way he "chose" to handle the dirt, the adversity, that others kept shoveling into his life.

Section II

Gloria is a student in a nursing school in the United States. She's going to graduate next month. She has two job offers. One is in a city hospital; the other is in a country hospital.

The hospital in the city is large; it's a 600-bed hospital. It's a cancer hospital. It gives excellent care to its patients. It's in a big city, near museums, theaters, and restaurants. The salary is high, $25,000 a year. But apartment rents are high, too.

The hospital in the country is small, a 50-bed hospital. It's a general hospital that takes care of all kinds of patients. It's in a beautiful area, near lakes, rivers and mountains. The salary is average, $20,000 a year. But apartment rents are low.

Gloria likes the city and the country. She doesn't know which hospital to choose. If you're in your early thirties and have never married, you're part of a growing U.S. population group. Researchers said that in 1970 only 9 percent of men between the ages of 30 and 34 had never married; today it's 25 percent. For women, the numbers went from 6 percent to 16 percent.

What's the reason for this large increase? Well, part of it is economic, said the researchers. It's harder for people in their twenties to marry and support a family now because their salaries may not be enough to live on.

People choose to marry later and have children later than they used to. At the same time, some highly educated women choose not to marry because they are now able to support themselves without a husband. Also, more single people are having or adopting children than in the past. Most singles who have never married seem to be very happy with their lives.

Section III

Throughout our lives, we are faced with choices: choices in schools, in careers, in personal and community life. Sometimes the decision is clear, and we can look ahead optimistically and say, "I hope that everything will work out." At other times the decision is not clear, and we find ourselves repeating, "I wish I knew what to do. I wish I had the answer." We go to others for advice, asking those around us, "What would you do if you were in my position?" and we ask ourselves, "What if I did this or I did that?"

Eventually we make the choice. Some are good choices, and some are bad choices. Some choices bring happiness and satisfaction, while others bring regrets: "I wish I hadn't done that," or, "If I had known better, I would never have done that."

Living with a good choice is easy, but living with a bad choice can be difficult. Yet as we evaluate ourselves and our actions, every day each of us has the opportunity to look forward or to look backward, to be optimistic or to be pessimistic. We can live with hopes and dreams, or we can live with wishes and regrets.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

大学英语快速阅读教程(第一册第四单元)

Book One Unit Four Passage One Directions: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Youth Speak If you think the English language is getting shorter, you may be right. From news bytes to text-messaging to famously shorter attention spans, we're saying less—and relying on slang more. Why? With so much of our daily communications taking place online these days—and that doesn’t include just e-mail, but text-messaging on increasingly teenier devices—it seems everyday English has been reduced to a code of accepted abbreviations, mysterious combinations of numbers and letters, and even symbols masquerading as facial expressions. :) Often in all lowercase(小写字母) letters. Certain numbers, “2” and “4” in particular, play starring roles—replacing, respectively, “to” and “for”—but the far more interesting development is the embrace of the number “3” for the letter “e” (“b3” and “th3”), and the number “8” for the sound it makes (“gr8” and “l8r” for “great” and “later”). While some of these brave new acronyms(首字母缩拼词) can actually be self-explanatory (“u” for “you” and “ur” for “your”) or fairly logical (“b4” for “before”), or can highlight the sounds the letters ma ke (“qt” for “cutie” and “cu” for “see you”) or act as abbreviations (“cuz” for “because”), or can be just straightforward acronyms (“bff” for “best friends forever”), some do border on strange (“peeps” for “people”). Some terms that have been in circulati on for quite a while are pretty recognizable: “lol” (“laughing out loud”), “btw” (“by the way”), and “imho” (“in my humble opinion”). Some, meanwhile, are puzzling: “iykwim” (“if you know what I mean”), “mtfbwy” (“may the force be with you”), and “wysiwyg”(“what you see is what you get”). At times, this alphabet-soup vernacular (本国语，俗语) feels absolutely confusing to everyone but linguists and computer geeks. But it’s difficult to argue with it s speed—or even its necessity—when forced to use a toothpick-sized device to reply to an office memorandum (备忘录) while driving a car (not recommended or legal but, unfortunately, all too common). With the exception of “peeps,” though, all of the above examples are mostly used in written slang. Spoken slang is a whole o ther story. And it’s here that the younger generation truly has its say (pun intended). Today’s slang changes faster than yesterday’s password. That’s because words that were popular only a couple of years ago have lost favor—among t oday’s teens—for no reason at all. These include: “sweet”, “excellent”, and “awesome” (which all mean “good”). But, then, slang is short-lived by nature. In order for slang to be slangy, it has to have a feeling of perpetual newness. Slang is like fashion: never “in” for long. Americans eventually tire of even the most popular words, and by natural selection, only the strong survive.
