They spend thousands of Yuan on these painful surgeries to fix their nose, to change their eyelids(眼皮)or to take off weight fromtheir stomachs.In fact, most people are not pleased with the way they look. Even the most beautiful actresses often wish they could change something about their looks. Should we live our whole lives believing we are ugly? Why can't we raise our head high and believe that we are as beautiful as others? A smile is beautiful on any face, whether fat, oily or hairy. And a kind heart is much more beautiful than a pretty look.So, let's feel grateful that we all have beautiful and healthy bodies that do not need surgeries! Today, I call on you to make an easy change: Hold your head high! Smile and be kind to others. If you do these, you will be full of confidence, beauty, and warmth everywhere you go.6.People think they can eat less to make their dreams come true.A.TB.F7.We can feel great if we hold our head up.A.TB.F8.The writer suggests we should believe we are as beautiful as others.A.TB.F9.Young people are more and more interested in plastic surgeries．A.TB.F10.Actresses never worry about their looks.A.TB.FIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keepinga business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________A.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.三、词汇与语法16.That man looks familiar to me.

西南交大-大学英语三作业土木工程(工民建)班(专本) 离线作业科目：大学英语III姓名：学号：专业：西南交通大学远程与继续教育学院校本部学习中心第一次作业：How to keep healthyIt is true that nowadays people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of health. However, different people have different ways to keep healthy. For instance, some people exercise every day to chase or keep a good body shape; others try to keep a balanced diet. In my point of view, i think the best way to stay healthy is the combination of proper physical exercise and a balanced diet. The reasons can be listed as follows.For one thing, physical exercise not only builds a person’s body, but also helps to reduce his or her unnecessary fat. Indeed, this is very important since the redundancy of fat has been medically proved to be a cause of various disease, some of which are even fatal, like diabetes or hyperglycemia.For another, a balanced diet can provide a person with the right kind and amount of nutrition which is required for the operation of our organs. As we know, a multitude of elements are effective in keeping our body running properly and a deficiency in any of them will result in some unpredictable disease, but a balance diet may prevent this from happening.It goes without saying that the best way to stay healthy istaking proper physical exercise plus living on a balanced diet. In a word, both physical exercise and proper diet are essential to health. 第二次作业：My Favorite SeasonThere are four seasons in a year. Which is my favorite one? Of course the winter！ Why? Let me tell you.Winter is the season of festivals. The New Year’s Day, Christmas Day and the most important festival in a year for Chinese: SpringFestival is also in winter! All the family members are back home this time.And sometimes will snow, I like playing after a snow! The world turns white, and it’s very beautiful! I can make snowmen with my friends. That’s wonderful!第三次作业Private carsNowadays more and more families own private cars. Private cars, as the product of modem civilization, have been playing a vital role in people's daily activities. First, private cars are a convenient means of transportation. You can go wherever you like. Secondly, there is no doubt that private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth. The rapid car industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing at a higher rate in thenear future.But every coin has two sides. The development of the private cars will bring about a series of problems. For example, the polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so on.So I think we should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better. Meantime we hope that satisfactory solutions to these negative problems will be found soon.第四次作业A City to RememberLast year,my parents took me to Beijing. On the first day, we went to the Great Wall. The Great Wall is very long and old. It has millions of bricks. Each brick is very big and heavy. Lots of people from different countries like climbing the Great Wall. We felt very tired when we climbed to the top of the Great Wall.The following days, we went to the Palace Museum,the Summer Palace, Tian Tan, North Lake and Xiang Hill. I now know more about the history of China. I also like modern Beijing.Later, I went back with my parents by train. I really enjoyed the trip to Beijing.第五次作业Online ShoppingWith the development of e-commerce,shopping online becomes a new way of shopping which is getting more and more popular.Many citizens are likely to shop through internet nowadays.Generally speaking,shopping online offers lots of advantages with its convenience the most prominent.There are many commodities on the internet where you can search whatever you want.Besides,you justclick the mouse can you get all information you want,so that you don’t have to go to the shop personally.In addtition,the commodities on the Internet is usually cheaper than the stores which can save much money.However,everything has two sides.You can not see theproducts or check their qualities and some of the sellers on the Internet is not so honest.And,for those who enjoys shopping around differentstores,shopping online perhaps will make them boringIn my opinion,shopping online has more advantages than disadvantages,and with the improvement of e-commerce,there will be more people to。

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. <br>Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us. <br>Many psychologists (心理学家) today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1.

Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too awake to our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery. <br>Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape. <br>Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that it is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of ahomely author. <br>As children, beautiful people are more likely to become favorites with parents and teachers. Later, they’re more likely to get good jobs and promotion. Beautiful lawyers get paid more than their less attractivecolleagues. Good-looking criminals are more likely to win the sympathy of judges and juries. Attractive people in need are more likely to receive help from strangers.<br> Eleanor Roosevelt’s regret shows__________.

F. 正确答案：A<br>Who would want to build a virtual house on the Internet? Or spend hours online each week living inside a make-believe world? It sounds crazy, but thousands of video game enthusiasts do just that. <br>Online worlds are becoming more popular than ever. Many people have belonged to these online worlds for years. Inside these imaginary worlds, video gamers develop characters over time. These characters learn skills, fight battles, build relationships, and even own property. Some communities inside these online worlds have several hundred thousand citizens! <br>The people role-playing in online worlds buy and sell things with virtual money. Many gamers earn virtual money by running successful tailor shops and weapons dealerships in their online worlds. Money and treasures can also be taken from victims in battle—it’s a dangerous virtual world out there! <br>But gaining virtual wealth can be too time-consuming for the gamer who wants to buy his castle now. Serious game addicts have begun doing something the online world designers probably never imagined. <br>Some gamers are exchanging real-world money to buy virtual money andproperty for their online worlds. Using online auction sites such as , gamers buy and sell whatever they need. A whole mini-economy has grown around this trade of goods. <br>Some of the most valuable items for sale in online worlds aren’t cheap. Sometimes they are rare, which makes them even more valuable. For example, consider a nice virtual house in a prime location. This property might cost as much as a new TV set in the real world! <br>For the person who doesn’t participate in these online worlds, the appeal must seem pecul iar. What’s the attraction with these online worlds? Why would people spend money on something that doesn’t really exist? <br>The money being exchanged for those online swords and castles is real. The swords and castles aren’t. Absurd? Maybe. But the time and effort spent by the players is real. So is their love for online worlds. It seems only the humanimagination can make something out of nothing! <br>In the 1st paragraph, “make-believe world” refers to the following EXCEPT_____________.A.virtual world.B.online world.C.imaginary world.D.castlesE.F. 正确答案：DIn the 1st paragraph, “video game enthusiasts” refers to _____________.

A.Positive B.Negative C.Neutral D.Critical E. F. 正确答案：C>In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million golfers. These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles. Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America’s most popular sports. <br>Many kinds o f people enjoy motorcycling. The average American motorcyclist is between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five. He owns his own house, and has a wife, more than one child, and at least one car. He is a responsible citizen. <br>Cycle Magazine, a monthly publication with almost 280,000 readers, claims that about fifty-five per cent of American motorcyclists arebusinessmen, with three per cent in the professions and nine per cent in government service. Such information is offered by motorcyclists in the hop e of improving the general public’s impression of their sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcycles are ridden by wild, irresponsible, lawless young man. <br>There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, crushed insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. <br>Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy, though some big trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads; they are accepted because they perform a needed service, making America move. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought. <br>Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people’s low opinion of the sport. Its defend ers, however, claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than is commonly believed. <br>As motorcycling becomes more common in years to come, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as “respectable” as tennis or golf. <br> Motorcyclists. A.are wild, irresponsible, lawless young man B.are all businessmen C.hope to improve the general public’s impression of their sport D.want to own his own house and at least one car E.

F. 正确答案：DIQ is not the determining factor for success,” said Janell Kilgore, a staff counselor in the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program. IQ contributes about 20 percent to the factors that determine life success, which leaves 80 percent to other forces, including EQ, she noted. Goleman writes that “the vast majority of one’s ultimate status in soci ety is determined by non-IQ factors, ranging from social class to luck”. Emotional intelligence is one of those factors that can be improved or enhanced. <br><br>According to Kilgore, understanding and practicing five key concepts can improve your emotiona l intelligence. <br><br>Knowing one’s own emotions <br><br>Recognize and name emotions you feel; understand why you feel that way; and distinguish between feelings and actions. “As a parent, you can begin now with your children, teaching them about their emotions. But first you have to know your own. You have to be able to tell yourself what you’re feeling,” Kilgore said. <br><br>Recognizing emotions in others <br><br>The ability to take another person’s perspective, Kilgore said, is a skill that effective managers and supervisors possess. Emotionally intelligent individuals also are sensitive to other people’s feelings and listen well. Kilgore led workshop participants through an exercise designed to illustrate these ideas. She showed two emotionally charged clips from the movies Parenthood and E.T., asking individuals to write down emotions they saw exhibited by the characters’ body language. Participants also wrote down their own feelings during each scene. The group’s list demonstrated the many emotions seen through the films’ characters, as well as the different ways people felt about the same scenes. <br><br>Managing emotions <br><br>Accept your feelings, but find a balance between over sensitivity or over expression and emotional suppression. Kilgore said her teenage daughters, when angry, have sometimes stomped up the stairs in their home. While some people may find this behavior unacceptable, Kilgore said shefinds it healthy for them to express their emotions rather than suppressing them. <br><br>Handling relationships <br><br>Being perceptive, applying conflict management skills instead of ignoring conflict, and being considerate and cooperative are important in handling relationships with others. Kilgore also stresses that communication skills are essential to healthy relationships. <br><br>According to researchers, which of the following is true? A.IQ determines life success. B.EQ determines life success. C.IQ contributes a small part to life success. D.EQ contributes a small part to life success. E. F. 正确答案：DThe word “sensitive” in paragraph 4 line 2 means __________. A.showing understanding and awareness of something B.easily worried and offended by something C.likely to cause disagreement or make people angry or upset D.good because it is based on reasons E. F. 正确答案：CWhy did Kilgore ask individuals to write down emotions they saw in the movie characters and their own feelings? A.Because she researched human emotions. B.Because she was interested in movies. C.Because she wanted to find out the differences between the characters’ and the audience’s emotions. D.Because she wanted to teach individuals the importance of recognizing others’ emotions. E. F. 正确答案：AThe example of Kilgore’s daughters indicates __________. A.Stomping up the stairs is go od behavior B.Stomping up the stairs is good for her daughters’ health C.Suppressing emotions is good for her daughters’ health D.Letting out emotions is good for her daughters’ health E.F. 正确答案：CThe main idea of the passage is __________. A.what EQ is B.EQ is more important than IQ C.how to improve your EQ D.how to behave properly E. F. 正确答案：B。

大学英语（二）第三阶段一、阅读理解1.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, so mehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions a nd things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later t hey agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, wh ether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring u p before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experienc e; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and s ad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the numb er of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotio ns. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Abo ve all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in wor ds which sing like music and which by their position and association can m ove men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.纠错(1)(4分)The origin of language is _________.• A. a legend handed down from the past• B. a matter that is hidden or secret• C. a question difficult to answer• D. a problem not yet solved(4分)What is true about words? _______• A.

He is no more than a master of words.• B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.• C. He can move men to tears.• D. His style is always charming.No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon and part of it taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain d uring the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel e verything. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughin g, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem t o feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experim ent on himself. He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas tha n he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being p ulled out.Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.纠错(1)(4分)It is not long since a man felt all the pain while being operated.• A. T• B.

He won't go at a job with the confide nce necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the failure will stren gthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. When he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that h e had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought that they would not expect too much of him. 3 this way, they too developed the i dea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mis taken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poo r at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other studen ts had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea t hat he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he co uld. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems wit h a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, a nd he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.纠错(1)1• A. found• B. none• C. likely• D.

With the terrible accident 25 years ago in Chernobyl beginning to fade in European Memories, governments across Europe have grown more open to using more nuclear power. Enthusiasm for nuclear power is particularly strong in Eastern Europe, which wants to move away from dependence on Russian oil and natural gas, and on heavily polluting coal-fired power plants. Eastern governments have begun improving existing nuclear plants or are building or planning new ones. But as Japan struggled to deal with her nuclear crises, discussion about the good and the bad of nuclear power became heated.In Germany, nuclear power has been a repeatedly argued and widely felt issue for decades。

Even today, the other planets are still too far away for astronauts to fly to. So, while rockets and robots can go to other planets, manned flights have to stay closer to home. Therefore, manned space programs have turned their attention to solving problems related to living and working in space.Currently, NASA's (US National Aeronautics and Space Administration) manned space exploration program focuses on the space shuttle program. NASA now operates three space shuttles, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor. Unfortunately, two of NASA's shuttles, Challenger and Columbia, were lost through accidents.Seven astronauts died in each accident. The program completed 135 missions when the program ended with the successful landing at the Kennedy Space Center on July 21, 2011. These missions have included putting satellites into orbit, photographing the earth, studying space, conducting experiments related to working in space, and connecting with various manned space station in orbit.Throughout the short history of the exploration of space, several space stations have been put into orbit. The first manned space station was the Soviet station Salyut 1, put into orbit in 1971. Later, in 1986, the Soviet Union launched the Mir space station. Mir stayed in orbit until March 23, 2001. Over that time, 104 astronauts visited the station to stay for various lengths of time. The person who has spent the longest in space so far is Russian astronaut Valeri Polyakov. Working as the doctor aboard the station, he lived on Mir for 438 days without returning to earth. In total, Polyakov worked aboard Mir for 678 days before retiring.Today, astronauts from around the world are working together to complete the International Space Station (ISS). The construction began in 1998, and the US Orbital Segment was completed in 2011. Operations are expected to continue until at least 2020. In the long run, it is hoped that the ISS will be a place where people can live and work all year round.11. Why can't astronauts travel to other planets now?A. Because there are not enough space shuttles.B. Because there have been too many rocket accidents.C. Because the journey would take too long for human.D. Because there are too many problems here on Earth.12. What is the fact of NASA's manned space exploration program?A. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor were lost through accidents.B. Challenger and Columbia are the current space shuttles.C. Seven astronauts died in accidents.D. NASA had completed 135 missions by July 21, 2011.13. What is TRUE about Valeri Polyakov?A. He has spent more time in space than anyone else.B. He stayed aboard Mir for 678 days at one time.C. He is still an astronaut though he is retired.D. He often helped the doctor at the Mir space station.14. What is TRUE about the International Space Station?A. It is being built by the United States alone.B. It will be launched into space in 2011.C. It was completed in 1998.D. It will eventually have people living and working there.15. What is the best title for this passage?A. Valeri Polyakov - An Amazing AstronautB. The Past and Future of Space TravelC. Space Cities of the FutureD. Living and Working on the International Space StationKey: CDADBQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage or dialog.They're still kids, and although there's a lot that the experts don't yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it's all because of technology.To the psychologists, sociologists, and generational and media experts who study them, their digital gear sets this new group apart, even from their tech-savvy (懂技术的) Millennial elders. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older siblings don’t quite get. These differences may appear slight, but they signal an all-encompassing sensibility that some say marks the dawning of a new generation.The contrast between Millennials and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen of California State University that he has declared the birth of a new generation in a new book, rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the tech-dominated life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennials he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, Myspace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they warrant the distinction of a new generation, which he has dubbed the "ingeneration"."The technology is the easiest way to see it, but it's also a mind-set, and the mind-set goes with the little 'i', which I'm talking to stand for 'individualized'," Rosen says. "Everything is defined and individualized to 'me'. My music choices are defined to 'me'. What I watch on TV any instant is defined to 'me'. " He says the iGeneration includes today's teens and middle-school years, but it's too soon to tell about elementary-school ages and younger.Rosen says the iGeneration believes anything is possible. "If they can think of it, somebody probably has or will invent it," he says. "They expect innovation."They have high expectations that whatever they want or can use "will be able to be tailored to their own needs and wishes and desires."Rosen says portability is key. They are inseparable from their wireless devices, which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected-even in class, where cellphones are supposedly banned.Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens survive distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development. "Because these kids are more immersed and at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change significantly."The growth curve on the use of technology with children is exponential(指数的), and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think," Rosen says.16. Compared with their Millennial elders, the iGeneration kids ______A. communicate with others by high-tech methods continuallyB. prefer to live a virtual life than a real oneC. are equipped with more modem digital techniquesD. know more on technology than their elders17. Why did Larry Rosen name the new generation as iGeneration?A. Because this generation is featured by the use of personal high-tech devices.B. Because this generation stresses on an individualized style of life.C. Because it is the author himself who has discovered the new generation.D. Because it's a mind-set generation instead of an age-set one.18. Which of the following is true about the iGeneration according to Rosen?A. This generation is crazy about inventing and creating new things.B. Everything must be adapted to the peculiar need of the generation.C. This generation catches up with the development of technology.D. High-tech such as wireless devices goes with the generation.19. Rosen's findings suggest that technology ______A. has an obvious effect on the function of iGeneration's brain developmentB. has greatly affected the iGeneration's behaviors and academic performanceC. has no significantly negative effect on iGeneration's mental and intellectual developmentD. has caused distraction problems on iGeneration which affect their daily performance20. According to the passage, education has to ______A. adapt its system to the need of the new generationB. use more technologies to cater for the iGenerationC. risk its system to certain extent for the iGenerationD. be conducted online for iGeneration's individualized needKey:16.
