During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.我想,不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。

He had to help them to dosomething in the fields. But he didn't like to live in the poor plac e. When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him. And he hoped they thought he was a famous man and that they could respect him. The children often asked him to tell them some stories and his life in Africa.One day a few children asked him to tell them something about the animals in Africa. He told them how he fought with the tigers and elephants. His stories surprised them all and some policemen and workers went to listen to him. It made him happier. Just a man who taught geography in a middle school passed there. He stopped to listen to him for a while and then said, "Could you please tell us a rare animal, sir?""Certainly," said Mr. Turner.

FPassage 2Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black.

These great forests are the oceans of trees. There are thousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are getting smaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plants and animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmland will soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will not rain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhapsthe climate of the world will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world.

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important foryoung children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are sucha smart child."1.

The government was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to V ersailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales(称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl?”He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag o n thecounter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1990 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of year. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.1.

The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D. Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.Passage 8It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become “in”. Between the hours of 11 a. m. and 4:30 p. m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Y oung people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Y oung people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.1. What is soap opera?A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.D. Popular documentary films on TV.2. What can be the best title of the passage?A. College student viewers.B. Favorite TV serials.C. Soap opera fans.D. College-age viewers.3. Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become “in”among American young people?A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B. Y oung people of sixties like soap operas more than people today.C. Y oung viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.5. What message does the author want to convey to us?A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with the times.C.

It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 1 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 2 stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us 3 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affectus. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 4 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to 5 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not.A. ofB. underC. acceptD. fromE. onCloze2Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places 1 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made 2 concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. 3 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more 4 in large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow5 the areas that animals live in.A. ofB.

完形填空BookIIIUnit 1In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the Impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were ing to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.Unit 2 social an thropologists childrenSocial anthropologists社会人类学家ask questions about how childhood, and the role of children儿童扮演的角色, is seen within the munities they study在他们所研究的族群里, rather than how it fits into Western ideas如何符合西方的观念about childhood. By doing this they seek to avoid imposing强加给outside ideas onto people with very different understandings of the world or of making value judgments 作价值观方面的判断on other people‘s ways of raising their children养育孩子. While Westerners might take exception to eight- year-old girls working or to 12-year-old girls marrying, within their own munities such activities are seen as a normal and positive part积极的常态of childhood Indeed, seen through the eyes of non-Westerners, many “normal“ Western childcare practices 西方育儿方式are seen as extremely bizarre 极其怪异and possibly harmful to children. Placing children in rooms of their own, refusing to feed them on demand想吃东西的时候不给他们吃, or letting them cry rather than immediately tending to them不赶快去安抚他们, are viewed very negatively in many societies在很多社会里都是不对的and lead some to think that Westerners don‘t know how to look after children properly.Unit 3 third plane on which musicThe third plane on which music exists is the sheerly musical plane. Besides the pleasurable sound of music and the expressive feeling that it gives off, music does exist in terms of the notes themselves and of their manipulation. Most listeners are not sufficiently conscious of this third plane.It is very important for all of us to bee more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. After all, an actual musical material is being used. The intelligent listener must be prepared to increase his awareness of the musical material and what happens to it. He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. But above all he must, in order to follow the line of the poser's thought, know something of the principles of musical form. Listening to all of these elements is listening on the sheerly musical plane.Unit 4 Golden memories(1——3)I can still vaguely recall the men who built the walls, and raised the roof, even though it was many families ago. The master from the manor house over the way needed a lodge for his grounds man to live, and found a clearing in the huge orchard which ran up and down the hills. He sent workmen to haul the golden stone from the local quarry and they spent three months constructing two cottages in the park.I only see my neighbour side-on. I’ve never seen him from the front, but I do know that strangely, although we’re identical, we’re the exact opposite of each other, with my front door facing east and my neighbour’s facing west, my bedroom in the back over his kitchen, my kitchen under his bedroom in the front. I think I’m the lucky one because each morning, my stone gleams in the sunlight.The groundsman tended the orchards and the gardens around the manor house so the trees in autumn were always bowed down with apples and pears, and as the days grew shorter the land around was teeming with helpers picking the fruit and rounding up the windfalls to take to the manor house, or to market in town down the way.Unit 5 Dinner atThe appointment meant Josh wouldn't get home until after Christmas. He was not, however, unhappy. He was meeting Jo Rogers, the Senior senator for Connecticut, and one of the best-known faces in the US. Senator Rogers was a Democrat in her third term of office, who knew Capitol Hill inside out but who had nevertheless managed to keep her credibility with her voters as a Washington outsider. She was pro-abortion, anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions and anti-capital punishment, as fine a progressive liberal as you could find this side of the Atlantic. Talk show hosts called her Honest Senator Jo, and a couple of years ago, Time magazine had her in the running for Woman of the Year. It was election time in the following year, and the word was she was going to run for the Democratic nomination. Rogers had met Josh in DC, thought him highly petent, andhad invited him to dinner.Unit 6 festivals (11——13)So the problem is not Western culture, or what we generally associate with it. The problem is those who are blinded by everything Western. We have to find out why more and more Chinese, especially the youngsters, feel at one with Western festivals as much as they do with the Chinese ones. But thankfully our festivals have lost none of their charm. And here is where the alarm bells sounded by scholars and students e in.I can understand the zeal of these people. They want to conserve our culture, and that definitely doesn’t make them what we generally refer to as “conservatives”. They have a point. But they, or for that matter anybody else, cannot save any society from the influence of a world getting smaller by the day.So instead of trying to shut our eyes and ears to Western festivals, we should accept the goodness they offer and practice what they stand for. And let’s not forget that Jesus was not born in the West but the East (the Middle East, to be precise), and he preached love for mankind and help for the poor.Unit 7 heroes PicciotoPicciotto was the highest ranking firefighter to survive the attack. The chief of the department, the first deputy and the chief of rescue operations had all been killed. Altogether the death toll included 343 firefighters and more than 3,000 civilians .Picciotto tells the story in his book Last Man Down. He uses a dramatic first person style which gives the reader an idea of the nightmare and the chaotic confusion of one of the darkest days in the history of the United States, the tragedy now known to the world simply as 9/11, but a day of utmost humanity and heroism too. Published in 2002, the book became an immediate best-seller, which the author wrote in gratitude, and intended as a tribute to, his decent and trustworthy rades who gave their lives. It’s also a testimony to his leadership skills. As he says, “People call us heroes, but we were just doing our job.”Unit 8(12——14)Urban myths have the characteristics mon to all myths: They often record events, people believe in them, they have been passed on by word of mouth and exaggerated, they often contain a moral or warn of possible dangers in particular situations or contexts, and they advise people what to do or how to behave.In their way, for listeners in the 21st century, they are just as real as the myths of the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Vikings, Mesopotamians and Chinese from years gone by.But the one difference is that true myths always feature gods or heroic near-gods or stories about the creation of the world and its natural phenomena such as lightning or sacred mountains.In contrast, urban myths are more mundane. The London Subterraneans are far from god-like, neither the hitchhiker nor the driver is heroic, the New York alligators don’t symbolize natural phenomena, and while the story of the hapless businessman may be a cautionary tale, it hardly acts as a model for heroic behavior.。

For each question there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Chose the best answer to each question.Passage OneEverybody knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible,but people eat 34,000,000,000 hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants,people order their food,wait just a few minutes and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home,at work,or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food,and a worker hands it to them through the window. Then they eat in their car. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish,chicken,beef,sandwiches,or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes),shakes (a drink made from milk and ice cream),soft drinks,and coffee. Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive.For many people,this is more important than the quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a company's restaurant in the north or south of the city,the food will be the same,if they eat in New York or San Francisco,it will still be the same.11. According to the passage,what food do Americans like best?A. Beef.B. Sandwiches.C. Hamburger.D. Fries.12. Where can Americans eat a hamburger?A. At home.B. In a park.C. In their car.D. At any of the places mentioned above.13.Fast food is .A-10-3A.deliciousB. unpopularC. inexpensiveD. of high quality14. The last paragraph tells us________.A. fast-food is very popularB. people like to eat in fast-food restaurantsC. why fast-food restaurants are very popularD. you can eat fast-food any where in the US15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Fast-food restaurants are very popular.B. People in the US eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world.C. Some people eat fast food in parks.D. People can eat fast food at work or in a park.Passage TwoGoing to court can be frightening,especially if you area child. You may have to stand up in the witness box,and swear to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom as the person accused of attacking you,for instance.So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know,from another room in the same courthouse,in this way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.It works on a closed-circuit (闭路的)television link,which means that the TV only operates inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the court room can see the child on a TV screen,but the child can only see the judge and the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that it will be extended to more courts this year.Another way to make it easy for a child to act a witness is to set up a screen in the court room around the witness box so that the child cannot see the defendant (被告). Information given by children can be very important to a court trial,butbefore1988 the law did not really recognize that children told the truth. It stated that anything a child said in court had to be supported by other evidence in the case.A-10-416. A child witness,if he were the victim of the crime,would be frightened most by________. A. all the questions he had to answerB. the crowd of adults he had to faceC. the judge and the lawyersD. the person accused of attacking him17. The most important point of the new system that made things easier for a child witne ss is that____.A. he does not see the defendantB. he speaks in front of a TV cameraC. he is in another room in the same courthouseD. everyone in the courtroom can see the child18.What does the author think of the new system according to the third paragraph?A. Not very good.B. Very successful.C. Just an experiment.D. Hardly acceptable.19, Has the law always recognized the importance of children's information in court?A. No.B. Yes.C. Not until 1988.D. Before 1988,yes.20. The word “case” in the last paragraph means________.A. a particular situationB. a particular incidentC. a trialD. a boxPassage ThreeAlbeit Einstein had a great effect on science and history,greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook,a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on —but even ordinary man understands now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties,littleA-10-5teaching and unlimited opportunities for study,but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply,and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly given to him. He became the headOf the Kaiser Whihem Institute on Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize,and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.21. According to the American university president,________.A. everyone understands Einstein's theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. the theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein22.

What did Albert Einstein do in the First World War?A. He joined the army.B. He participated in anti-war activities.C. He was unhappy and did little.D. He went to America.24.After World War I,Albert Einstein________.A. was forced to leave the Kaiser Whihem Institute on Theoretical PhysicsB. was acknowledged by scientific community because of his devotionC. was forced to work for the NazisD. was appointed the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute on Theoretical Physics by the Nazis25. It may be concluded that________.A. Albert Einstein had no other interests than scienceB. Einstein was forced to serve in the German armyC. Germans usually have a high respect for scienceA-10-6D. his reputation was ruined because of his work during World War IPart Ⅲ Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: In this section there are 30 incomplete sentences.

1.Sun-hee, Claudia, and Tara are preparing to go to Mexico for a vacation. While Sun-hee is talki ng to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara have some trouble preparing for the trip. First, Tara can 't find her bag and then Claudia doesn't know where her ticket is. But Sun-hee is totally relaxed be cause she has already finished getting ready.

She forgot to take her ticket and passport!2.It's a very hot day and Takeshi comes home to find Mike using his imagination to stay cool. Mi ke tries to teach Takeshi how to imagine being at the beach. Mike even wants to have a barbecue, but Takeshi tells Mike he's not allowed to use a grill in the apartment. When Takeshi asks where th e water for the beach is, Mike sprays Takeshi with water and tells him to "feel the ocean mist." Tak eshi gets angry and says, "Mike, that's for spraying plants, not me!" Then, Mike pretends to use an ironing board for surfing even though Takeshi tells him not to. So, Takeshi decides to try using his imagination and says, "Watch out for that wave? as he throws water all over Mike.

大学英语3复习资料英译汉Unit 1 Nowadays, many young people no longer choose \Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts. Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses. This further arouses young people’s enthusiasm to start their own businesses.Unit 2 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modem times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. Itbegan around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, , brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects. Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings. Unit 4 Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province. The old town of Lijiang,located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and known for its history and culture. It’s also a well-preserved old town with features of ethnic minorities. The construction work of the old town was started from the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years from now. Not only does Lijiang boast a long history, but also it boasts many ethnic minorities who make up over a half of the total population in the region. With the booming of Lijiang tourism, the old town of Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home and abroad. In December 1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World Cultural Heritage Site, filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China on the World Cultural Heritage List. Unit 8 The CCTV Spring Festival Gala (Spring Festival Gala for short), which was started in 1983, has become anindispensable cultural consumer product and a cultural symbol in the cultural life of the Chinese people. Though it’s hard to satisfy the tastes of all the people, it has to be admitted that the Spring Festival Gala has become a “new custom” for the public that they can’t live without. The Spring Festival Gala is more than a gala; it is a ritual and a symbol, a culture and a label, and an emotion and a place where people entrust their hearts to. With the development of the times and the emerging of new media, the audiences are having more diversified choices and demands. Correspondingly, the Spring Festival Gala is also advancing with the time to satisfy the growing cultural needs of the people. 课文翻译Unit 1 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success.个人经历、教育机会、个人困境,这些都不能阻挡一个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意志的人。

大学英语(三)综合复习资料I. Reading ComprehensionPassage 1I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers andtheir man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights,and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.When I returned to th e hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.1. February 6,1966 a day unforgettable to the writer because _______.

And one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today as it always was,and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of misfortune or suffering. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting us in age.A good book is often the best container of a life, containing the bestthat life couldthink out, for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words andgolden thoughts, which, remembered and cared about, become our lasting companions and comforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products ofhuman effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.The great and good do not die even in this world. Well preserved in the books, theirspirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of the past. The imperial intellects of the worlds are as much alive now as they were ages ago.6. The relationship between a man’s friends and his books is that _______.A. his books are as good as his friendsB. his books are better than his friendsC. his books are not as good as his friendsD. his books are worse than his friends7. A good book is our best friend because it is ______.A. always silentB. most beautifully printedC. most patient and cheerfulD. the best listener8. According to the author, the world of man’s life is the world of______.A. his willB. his behaviorsC. his opinionsD. his thoughts9. For books the effect of time is ______.A. to make a book disappear as time goes byB. to decide the content of a bookC. to separate the bad books from the good onesD. to find the practical use of books10. “Their spirits walk abroad” means that ______. A. the author’s thoughts are widespread B. the author goes abroad with his bookC. the author of a book will never dieD. readers can read books of other countries Passage 3Pigeons have been used as messengers for 500 years, because of theirspecial ability tofind home. The mystery of the homing pigeon is on how it navigates and how it finds home. We now know that there are two ways that pigeons tell directions. First, they use the sun. Just getting rough directions from thesun is easy. However, getting accurate directions from the sun takes more care. To tell direction accurately from the sun, one needs to know the exact time.All plants and animals seem to have built-in clocks. Usually thesebiological clocks arenot quite exact in measuring time. However, they work pretty well, because they are “reset” every day, maybe when the sun gets up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction fromthe sun? Wecan experiment to find out. We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial “days” start at some different time from the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go, but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.The above experiment shows that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? The pigeons still find their way home. So it seems that pigeons also have some ex tra sense of direction from the earth’s magnetic field when they cannot see the sun.感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy on such a tight budget, we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.The other requirement is energy—a lot of it . The way to make self-sufficient work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.Comprehensive Exercises1.Text-relatedJim Doherty may not be a born farmer, but he gets by without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up alot of skills since then and made some real improvement to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery, aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspected he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.2.Theme-relatedA homesteader(自耕农) is a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production. While the Industrial Age is being replaced by information and electronics, some people try to seek an escape from the social, environmental, and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider returning to the country . As this lifestyle is so enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding, more and more people are prepared to quit their job in the city and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms . For some it has become not only a way of looking world.Of course , life in the country can be pretty tough. While it is an enjoyment to be so close to nature, you may have to reduce your dependence on fuels by cutting back on your daily consumption. You may also have to cook your own meals every day and assist your own low-cost entertainment without the idea that are common in cities. On occasion, however , living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream. Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal setting in which to live and raise a family.Translation2.Translate the passage into EnglishA decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about. She quit an executive position and opened a household device store in her neighborhood. People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives.But to run a business on a small scale is by no means an easy job. Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses. Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed.Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time. She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Unit 2Expressions1.stand up(for) 支持2.be intent on(sth./doing sth.) 热衷于,坚决要做3.on the side 作为兼职,秘密的4.close in(on/around) 接近,包围5.make the best of 尽量利用,充分利用6.at a risk 冒险7.in the eyes of 在某人看来8.pass for 被看做,被当成9.lead to 导致her in 预报……的到来11.be tired of 厌倦的12.push(sb.) about/around 摆布13.as for 至于14.fall into 落入,注入,陷于y down 放下Language Sense EnhancementYet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.In October 2000, President Clinton authorized$16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U.S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it’s about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.Comprehensive Exercises1.Text-relatedThe Underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stood up for the long-suffering South black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions. For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them became a mission. While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk. In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats.2.Theme-relatedDespite the name, the Underground Railroad was not really a railroad, but was a network of people who assisted fugitive slaves . Many fugitives who escaped to the North and Canada received assistance along the way from individuals who were involved in this network. By the early 19th century, the organization became so successful that it is emerged that between 1810 and 1850, 100,000 slaves escaped from the South through the Underground Railroad.It was not a(n) curiosity that it was called the Underground Railroad . Steam railroads had just estimated and the terms used to describe the people who helped and the fugitives were related to the railroad line. Fugitive slaves were called “parcels” and “ passengers”, the helpers were the “conductors” , the people who provide their homes as refuge were called” stationmasters “, and the homes were stationed to as “ depots “ or “ stations “.The route used was an important part of a successful escape . There were numerous secret routes that a conductors could use. The one used depended on where the search parties , and slaves catchers were inspired. Some trips required the use of many different routes . If it appeared that they might be in danger, a guide would change paths. Some guides and fugitives even hid out in bushes and swamps for many days until it was safe to continue on. Quickness was not the maincoincidence, instead safety was most important and as a result they often zigzagged in order to avoid captured.Translation2.Translate the passage into EnglishShortly after he achieved freedom, he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture.In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chape land a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Unit 3Expressions1.on the latch 门关着但没上锁2.close up 关闭3.hook up to 连接到4.build in 使成为建筑的一部分5.put up 建造,设置6.stand for 代表,象征7.be bathed in 沉浸于,沐浴于8.with/by a small/large margin 大幅度地9.look back on 回顾10.aim at 瞄准,对准11.take the plunge (尤指经过一番思考后)采取断然行动12.pull in (指机动车辆)驶近某处13.in one’s favor 对某人有利14.break in/into 强行进入15.in/under the/no circumstances 在这种情况下/在任何情况下16.count on 依靠,指望17.draw the line at sth./doing sth. 拒绝做某事,绝不容忍某事18.on the line 冒险19.hold/keep sb. at bay 不让……逼近20.keep on the right side of sb. 不要惹恼……Language Sense EnhancementIt has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.It’s not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small noticeannouncing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child‘s bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.Comprehensive Exercises1.Text-relatedStatistics show that crime in the rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities. The era when the countryside stood for safety and security has long gone. No longer is anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch. We all feel vulnerable and seek to strengthen the barrier we use to hold criminals at bay. These can range from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices. A moment’s reflection, however, is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle: we may have locked the evils out, but in doing so we have locked ourselves in. This hardly seems a civilized way of life.2.Theme-relatedStatistic show that at some point in your life , you will get robbed. Things get even worse for apartment dwellers(居住者) because so many people pass in and out of an apartment building, and it’ s much tougher to keep non-residents out.So what to do? Don’t panic . Yes, apartments are liable to robbery, but there are options other than barricading yourself in your apartment with a shotgun. We suggest that you use some common sense to shift that target from your door. Then the burglar will rob the less guarded, not you.We know what’ s you’ re thinking:” I’ll never get robbed. Who’ d want to steal a half can of Diet Coke and an electric toothbrush?” If those really are the only things in your apartment, you have every reason not to worry . However, if you have something you’ d like to keep—say , a TY, a stereo, a computer, a Picasso—it’ s wise to be cautious.Your goal is not to set up any sophisticated security systems to hold thieves at bay; your goal is to keep criminals from even trying to break into your apartment in the first place. If someone really wants to break in, chances are that he/she is going to find a way to by breaking a window or climbing up the fire escape. Therefore, you should remove all signs that say” Hey, look at me! Lots of goodies and no security! Come on in!” Lock the door when you leave. Don’ t leave the windows open all day long. Don’ t tape notes on the door directed to your mate reading “ Gone all day! Left the door unlocked for you!” Just use your brains!Translation2.Translate the passage into EnglishIt is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Make sure/assure yourself that you don’t leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in. If you decide to buy a sophisticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.Unit 5Expressions1.under way 航行中,工作中2.put away 把……收好,放好3.get to sth./doing sth. 开始认真思考4.and the rest 等等5.turn over 考虑,思考6.take…for granted 认为……是理所当然的7.on sb.’s behalf/on the behalf of sb. 为(某人),为(某人)的利益,代表某人8.be exposed to 使暴露,使接触9.be immersed in 沉浸在,沉迷于10.in part 在某种程度上,部分地11.in turn 挨个的,轮流的12.bring back 回想起13.in a flash 瞬间14.a news flash 电讯15.a flash of hope 一线希望16.an electronic flash 电子闪光灯17.go about 表现,忙于,着手18.long for (sth.)/to(do sth.) 渴望19.in secret 秘密的,暗自20.cut off 突然闯到另一车辆面前21.home in(on sth.) 移向,朝向,把注意力集中于22.out on the limb 独立从事23.round up 使集合在一起24.(right)off the bat 一开始,马上25.part with 放弃26.jot down 扼要记下27.reach out(to sb./sth.) 伸出手以触到,抓到或拿到28.in reverse 逆行29.just the reverse 正好相反30.suffer a reverse 遭遇挫折31.the reverse of 绝不是32.deep/profound gratitude 深切的感激之情Language Sense EnhancementThe Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a “simple, old-fashioned principal”had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt.” I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right,” he said, adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.A glance at Grandma’s familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair, watching her” settin’ down” some letter to relatives. Characterby character, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word, then the next, so that a finished page would consume hours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma’s recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me—whom she used to diaper!Comprehensive Exercises1.Text-relatedAlex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgiving. Turning over the meaning of holiday in his mind, he came to reverse the order of the words and got to thinking about giving thanks . How , he wondered, could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past? It seemed to him that the best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them. For too long he had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that they had done for him. Before long he had assemble pen and paper and was immersed in writing. Not long after the ship reached port, people started unloading its cargo together with his letters. The replies were not swift in arriving, but when they did, he found them deeply moving.2.Theme-relatedWake up each day and give gratitude for what you have. Instead of giving any thought at all to what you do not have in your life, just spend as much time as you possibly can each day giving thanks for all of the people, opportunities, material possessions, good health and any other things that you have in your life that make it so good. It’ s said that we take so much for granted that we sometimes forget to be thankful for the small things that make our lives so much richer. If you have ever been out of breath out under water for too long, the next breaths you take are that much sweeter.Tell others how much you love and cherish them every chance you get. You may never see someone again so you always want to leave them by telling them just how special they are to you. When you are telling them how much you care about them and how thankful you are for having them in your life, give them specific examples of what you love about them the most.Take the time appreciate every little thing in your life. When the sun is shining, the grass is wet beneath your feet and your dog is barking, give thanks for these small miracles. Every moment we have is a gift. Use your time to show and tell others how important and special they are. Giving someone your time and kind words is the greatest of all.Translation2.Translate the passage into EnglishAmid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world. The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf. George's father used to impress on him the need to under go all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence. He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted. Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying "Gratitude is the sign of noble souls" and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Unit 6Expressions1.in tune 和谐的2.in a whisper 低声地3.hear of 听说4.look the part 看上去很像5.turn loose 放手,放纵6.to excess 过度7.for the rest 至于其他8.pull up 拉起9.stand out 显著,突出10.wear away 时间流逝,磨损,磨去11.call to 呼唤12.be wet through 湿透13.now and again 时而,偶尔14.start off 出发,动身15.take no notice of(sb./sth.) 不理会16.cut(sb.)short 中止,打断17.pull out 拔出,度过18.cling to 紧紧抓住Language Sense EnhancementOne Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them.

For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece, but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by serving as a model to the those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and still talked of his coming masterpiece. For the rest he was a fierce little old man, who mocked terribly at softness in anyone, and who regarded himself as guard dog to the two young artists in the studio above.Sue found Behrman smelling strongly for gin in his dimly lighted studio below. In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece. She told him of Johnsy’s fancy, and how she feared she would, indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, float away, when her slight hold upon the world great weaker. Old Behrman, with his red eyes plainly streaming, shouted his contempt for such foolish imaginings.Comprehensive Exercises1.Text-relatedI had only known Johnsy a few months when she fell victim to the disease. We had met in May and, finding ourselves so much in tune, had set up home together. Then, in November, she became ill. Scarcely able to speak in a whisper, she seemed unable to cling to life. It was such a change. Before she had always been so lively and merry. Now she just sat up in bed, staring out of the window. She had this strange belief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell, she woulddie. I told her it was all nonsense, but to no effect.It was our downstairs neighbor, Mr. Behrman, who came to her rescue. When he heard of Johnsy’s strange fancy he flew into a fierce temper, regarding it as a sin that one so young should give up life so easily.Thanks to Behrman, the last leaf never did fall. Late at night he had climbed up and painted the leaf on the wall. It was his long-promised masterpiece.2.Theme-relatedFive years ago a female inmate(犯人) at Riker’s Island told Jane Paley that she smelled wonderful. As president of Friendly Visitors, a 50-year-old organization whose mission is “ acts of loving kindness that don’ t involve large sums of money or hours of work,” Paley frequently went to the New York City Jail. That day, though, a spray of perfume went off in her head.Her group had long donated money so that the 100 women in the jail could buy foods and treats. Why not give them fancy toiletries too?Paley and her crew of 35 women figured out the perfect way to get the goods: They asked friends to collect hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions when they travel. Volunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver them to Riker’s several times a year, including Christmas and Mother’ s Day.“These mini-donations make the women feel beautiful,” says Paley.” You can see them turn themselves around a little bit.”So, Paley continues,”If you’re lucky enough to afford a vacation, take the soap and shampoos. Bring them to homeless shelters, battered women shelters or any organization in need. It’ s a small act that may mean a great deal.”Translation2.Translate the passage into EnglishHere and there we see young artists who stand out from other people. They may be in worn out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot / in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work. In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part,or to be "in tune with" other artists. They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.。
完形填空 BookIIIUnit 1In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the Impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.Unit 2 social an thropologists childrenSocial anthropologists社会人类学家ask questions about how childhood, and the role of children儿童扮演的角色, is seen within the communities they study在他们所研究的族群里, rather than how it fits into Western ideas如何符合西方的观念about childhood. By doing this they seek to avoid imposing 强加给outside ideas onto people with very different understandings of the world or of making value judgments作价值观方面的判断on other people…s ways of raising their children养育孩子. While Westerners might take exception to eight- year-old girls working or to 12-year-old girls marrying, within their own communities such activities are seen as a normal and positive part积极的常态of childhoodIndeed, seen through the eyes of non-Westerners, many “normal“ Western chi ldcare practices西方育儿方式are seen as extremely bizarre极其怪异and possibly harmful to children. Placing children in rooms of their own, refusing to feed them on demand想吃东西的时候不给他们吃, or letting them cry rather than immediatelytending to them不赶快去安抚他们, are viewed very negatively in manysocieties在很多社会里都是不对的and lead some to think that Westerners don…t know how to look after children properly.Unit 3 third plane on which musicThe third plane on which music exists is the sheerlymusical plane. Besides the pleasurable sound of musicand the expressive feeling that it gives off, musicdoes exist in terms of the notes themselves and oftheir manipulation. Most listeners are not sufficientlyconscious of this third plane.It is very important for all of us to become morealive to music on its sheerly musical plane. After all, anactual musical material is being used. The intelligent listener must be prepared to increase his awareness ofthe musical material and what happens to it. He musthear the melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies thetone colors in a more conscious fashion. But above allhe must, in orderto follow the line of the composer'sthought, know something of the principles of musicalform. Listening to allof these elements is listening onthe sheerly musical plane.Unit 4 Golden memories(1——3)I can still vaguely recall the men who built the walls, and raised the roof, even though it was many families ago. The master from the manor house over the way needed a lodge for his grounds man to live, and found a clearing in the huge orchard which ran up and down the hills. He sent workmen to haul the golden stone from the local quarry and they spent three months constructing two cottages in the park.I only see my neighbour side-on. I‟ve never seen him from the front, but I do know that strangely, although we‟re identical, we‟re the exact opposite of each other, with my front door facing east and my neighbour‟s facing west, my bedroom in the back over his kitchen, my kitchen under his bedroom in the front. I think I‟m the lucky one because each morning, my stone gleams in the sunlight.The groundsman tended the orchards and the gardens around the manor house so the trees in autumn were always bowed down with applesand pears, and as the days grew shorter the land around was teeming with helpers picking the fruit and rounding up the windfalls to take to the manor house, or to market in town down the way.Unit 5 Dinner atThe appointment meant Josh wouldn't get home until after Christmas. He was not, however, unhappy. He was meeting Jo Rogers, the Senior senator for Connecticut, and one of the best-known faces in the US. Senator Rogers was a Democrat in her third term of office, who knewCapitol Hill inside outbut who had nevertheless managed to keep her credibility with her voters as a Washington outsider. She was pro-abortion, anti-corruption, pro-low carbon emissions and anti-capital punishment, as fine a progressive liberal as you could find this side of the Atlantic. Talk show hosts called her Honest Senator Jo, and a couple of years ago, Time magazine had her in the running for Woman of the Year. It was election time in the following year, and the word was she was going to run for the Democratic nomination. Rogers had met Josh in DC, thought him highly competent, and had invited him to dinner.Unit 6 festivals (11——13)So the problem is not Western culture, or what we generally associate with it. The problem is those who are blinded by everything Western. We have tofind out why more and more Chinese, especially the youngsters, feel at one with Western festivals as much as they do with the Chinese ones. But thankfully our festivals have lost none of their charm. And here is where the alarm bells sounded by scholars and students come in.I can understand the zeal of these people. They want to conserve our culture, and that definitely doesn‟t make them what we generally refer to as “conservatives”. They have a point. But they, or for that matter anybody else, cannot save any society from the influence of a world getting smaller by the day.So instead of trying to shut our eyes and ears to Westernfestivals, we should accept the goodness they offer and practice what they stand for. And let‟s not forget that Jesus was not born in the West but the East (the Middle East, to be precise), and he preached love for mankind and help for the poor.Unit 7 heroes PicciotoPicciotto was the highest ranking firefighter to survive theattack. The chief of the department, the first deputy andthe chief of rescue operations had all been killed. Altogetherthe death toll included 343 firefighters and more than 3,000civilians.Picciotto tells the story in his book Last Man Down. Heuses a dramatic first person style which gives the readeran idea of the nightmare and the chaotic confusion of oneof the darkest days in the history of the United States, the tragedy now known to the world simply as 9/11, but a dayof utmost humanity and heroism too. Published in 2002, thebook became an immediate best-seller, which the authorwrote in gratitude, and intended as a tribute to, his decentand trustworthy comrades who gave their lives. It‟s also a testimony to his leadership skills. A s he says, “People call usheroes, but we were just doing our job.”Unit 8(12——14)Urban myths have the characteristics common to all myths: They often record events, people believe in them, they have been passed on by word of mouth and exaggerated, they often contain a moral or warn of possible dangers in particular situations or contexts, and they advise people what to do or how to behave.In their way, for listeners in the 21st century, they are just as real as the myths of the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Vikings, Mesopotamians and Chinese from years gone by.But the one difference is that true myths always feature gods or heroic near-gods or stories about the creation of the world and its natural phenomena such as lightning or sacred mountains.In contrast, urban myths are more mundane. The London Subterraneans are far from god-like, neither the hitchhiker nor the driver is heroic, the New York alligators don‟t symbolize natural phenomena, and while the story of the hapless businessman may be a cautionary tale, it hardly acts as a model for heroic behavior.。
