UNIT 5 Cloze 1

You see that young man swimming out at sea ?He is trying to swim out to the beacon and back.He must be 1 insane to have committed himself to such a thing.The 2 current is far too strong.To be 3 candid ,I would not attempt it.I dare say few swimmers are 4 capable of such a feat.I met him on the beach before he set out.I donot mind telling you that I 5 was taken aback when he told me what he was going to do ,because he didnot look in good condition at all.Far from it.He may have had a good 7 constitution once,but he had clearly let himself go 8 go all to pieces.However it seems like he had no choice.He told me that he had 9 gone broke,not a penny left,and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim.That was another surprise.Burton seems such a 11 mild-mannered man ,kind to everybody.Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage,that he would funk it.Then ,again,perhaps Burton knew he was sending the young man to his desth,but was too cold-blooded to care.It only goes to show how 12 deceptive appearances can be.Translation 1.1).I have an instinct that Henry will seek to join in the expedition, because he is something of an adventurer.我的直覺是亨利會設(shè)法參加這次探險，因為他有一點冒險家的氣質(zhì)（omething of，instinct）

Passage translation: For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton.In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece.He eas a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid.Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel.He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.就我來說，我發(fā)現(xiàn)外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你僅憑外表去判斷諸如愛德華*海德*波頓這樣的人，你就錯了。外表上。伯頓像一個表里一致的人。他個子很小，滿頭白

發(fā)，有著一雙溫和蔚藍的眼睛，文雅且坦率。然而，他原來卻是一個十分的殘忍。他侮辱和愚弄窮困潦倒的倫尼，讓他去做那樣的蠢事。更讓人吃驚的是，他對倫尼的死全然冷漠無情。毫無疑問，他是個鐵石心腸的家伙。

Unit 6 Cloze 1 Can you 1 switch off from the cares of life and relax?Many people today cannot.They feel instead that they are 2 obliged to be 3 on the go all the time.The pace of life seems to grow ever faster.As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to 4 cope with what they see as a 5 shortage of time.Such wi despread feelings are in part caused by the 6 large quantity of information that comes 7 pouring in on us.“All men ,”said Aristotle,“ 8 by nature desire to know.” But it is no longer possible,as it was in the past ,for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge.Instead,any individual,no matter how smart he is,can only command a 9 fraction of the total knowledge available.It may be argued that it is 10 futile to even attempt to do so.We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny(專制）of time.Translation 1)They are exploring the new frontiers of medical science in an attempt to find remedies for incurable diseases / cures for diseases that are beyond remedy so far.他們正在探索醫(yī)學(xué)研究新領(lǐng)域，試圖治療那些目前還無藥可治 的疾病。（frontier，remedy）

2)Her unique teaching methods apart, Ms.Wilson, my math teacher, never tried to cram knowledge into my head.我的數(shù)學(xué)老師威爾遜女士不僅教學(xué)方法獨特，而且她從不試圖往我腦子里硬塞知識。（apart,cram）

4)The appalling explosion started a big fire and caused the partial collapse of the building.可怕的爆炸引起一場大火，并造成這棟大樓部分倒塌。（explosion，appalling）

5)In the modern world, there are more ways than ever to waste away time, and all kinds of distractions are eating into our precious time.在現(xiàn)代社會里，浪費時間的方式比以往任何時候都要多，各種各樣的娛樂銷售（distraction）正在吞噬我們寶貴的時間。（eating into，waste away）

Passage Translation Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more.Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well / good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families.It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.當(dāng)今我們處于持續(xù)的壓力之下，要工作更長的時間，要生產(chǎn)更多，擁有更多。許多人有一種錯誤的認(rèn)識：幸福就在于拼命的干，使勁的賺。

許多婦女今天感到同樣的壓力，要工作，要出人頭地，而與此同時，又要養(yǎng)育子女，承擔(dān)起家庭責(zé)任的負(fù)擔(dān)。

研究表明，工作狂（workaholism）往往使我們與家人的關(guān)系疏遠。它會迫使我們長時間辛苦勞作，僅留微乎其微的時間與我們的親人呆在一起，交流感情。家庭成員間的親密關(guān)系在此過程中注定要消亡，

UNIT5 AYou see that young man swimming out at sea? 你看到那個年輕人游泳出海嗎?

He is trying to swim out to the beacon and back.他試圖游到燈塔和背部。

He must be insane to have committed himself to such a thing ,the current is far to strong.他一定是瘋了,都致力于這樣的事,目前遠強。

I met him on the beach before he set out.我在海灘上遇到他之前,他出發(fā)了。

I do not mind telling you that I was taken aback when he told me what he was going to do.我不介意告訴你,我很驚訝當(dāng)他告訴我他要干什么。

I am a swimmer myself, but I would not attempt it.我是一個游泳運動員自己,但我不會嘗試它。

And he did not look in good condition at all.和他沒有看都處于良好狀態(tài)。

Far from it ,he may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces.遠離它,他可能有一個良好的憲法,但他顯然曾經(jīng)讓自己去所有碎片。

However ,it seems like he had no choice.不過,似乎他別無選擇。

he told me that he had gone broke, not a penny left ,and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim.他告訴我他已經(jīng)破產(chǎn),而不是一分錢離開,老伯頓只會發(fā)現(xiàn)他是一個空位在他的公司如果他做了游泳。

that was another surprise.這是另一個驚喜。

Burton seems such a mild mannered man.伯頓似乎這樣一個溫和的守規(guī)矩的人。

kind to everybody.善待每個人。

Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage.也許他認(rèn)為年輕人就沒有勇氣。

that he would funk it.他將恐懼它。

then, again, perhaps Burton knew he was sending the young man to his death ,but was too cold-blood to care.然后,再一次,也許伯頓知道他發(fā)送這個年輕人對他的死亡,但是太冷血到保健。

It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.它只是告訴如何被外表欺騙。

B Child Abuse, intentional acts that result in physical or emotional harm to children.虐待兒童、故意行為,導(dǎo)致身體或情感傷害孩子。

The term child abuse covers a wide range of behavior, from actual physical assault by parents or other adult caretakers to neglect of a child’s basic needs.虐待兒童的術(shù)語涵蓋了廣泛的行為,從實際的物理攻擊的父母或其他成人看護人忽視孩子的基本需求。

Child abuse is also sometimes called child maltreatment.虐待兒童有時也叫做虐待兒童。

Although the extent of child abuse is difficult to measure, it is recognized as a major social problem, especially in industrialized nations.雖然虐待兒童的程度是很難衡量的,它是公認(rèn)的一個重大社會問題,尤其是在工業(yè)化國家。

It occurs in all income, racial, religious, and ethnic groups and in urban and rural communities.它發(fā)生在所有收入、種族、宗教、民族和在城市和農(nóng)村社區(qū)。

It is, however, more common in some groups, especially those below the poverty line.然而,更常見的在一些團體,尤其是那些在貧困線以下。

Many people have difficulty understanding why any person would hurt a child.許多人很難理解為什么人會傷害孩子。

The public often assumes that people who abuse their children suffer from mental disorder, but fewer than 10 percent of abusers have mental illnesses.公眾常常假定人在虐待自己的孩子患有精神障礙,但只有不到10%的施虐者有心理疾病。

Most abusers love their children but tend to have less patience and less mature personalities than other parents.最虐愛他們的孩子往往還會有更少的耐心和不成熟的性格比其他家長。

These traits make it difficult to cope with the demands of their children and increase the likelihood of physical or emotional abuse.這些特征使它難以應(yīng)付孩子的要求,增加身體或者心理上的虐待的可能性。

However, there is no single explanation for child maltreatment.然而,沒有單一的解釋兒童虐待。

Child abuse results from a complex combination of personal, social, and cultural factors.虐待兒童的結(jié)果從一個組合復(fù)雜的個人、社會和文化因素。

These may be grouped into four primary categories:(1)intergenerational transmission of violence,(2)social stress,(3)social isolation and low community involvement, and(4)family structure.這些可能是分為四個主要類別:(1)代際傳播暴力、(2)社會壓力,(3)社會隔離和低的社區(qū)參與,和(4)家庭結(jié)構(gòu)。

In the United States many types of social programs, usually at the county or state levels, have attempted to reduce 18 and prevent child abuse.在美國許多類型的社會項目,通常是在縣或狀態(tài)水平,試圖減少18和防止虐待兒童。

Current approaches involve identifying high-risk parents—such as young, single, first-time mothers---and providing parental skills training, counseling, education, and social support.當(dāng)前的方法包括識別高風(fēng)險的父母這樣年輕,單身,初產(chǎn)婦——提供父母的技能培訓(xùn)、咨詢、教育、和社會支持。

Often trained social workers or nurses provide this support by visiting the family’s home on a regular basis ,encouraging community contract ,and expanding the caretaker’s knowledge about/of available social servi

經(jīng)常訓(xùn)練的社會工作者或護士提供這種支持通過訪問的家里在正?；A(chǔ)上,鼓勵社區(qū)合同,和擴大看守的知識/可用的社會servi

Unit6 A

Can you switch off from the cares of life and relax? 你能關(guān)掉從關(guān)心的生活和放松?

Many people today can not.很多人今天不能。

They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time.他們覺得,他們有義務(wù)而不是在走所有的時間。

The pace of life seems to grow ever faster.生活的節(jié)奏似乎變得越來越快。

as a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time, such widespread feeling are in part caused by the a large quantity of information that comes pour in on us.因此,感情的壓力共同為人們疲于應(yīng)付他們看到的時間短缺,這種普遍的感覺是部分所造成的大量的信息,來對我們倒入。

No longer is it possible ,as it was in the past ,for a handful of people to master the whole range of human knowledge.不再是可能的,因為它是在過去,對于少數(shù)人掌握整個人類知識的范圍。

Instead ,any individual can only command a fraction of the total knowledge available.相反,任何個人只能命令總額的一小部分知識可用。

It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so.有人可能認(rèn)為,它是徒勞的,甚至試圖這樣做。

we should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會為自己定下更現(xiàn)實的目標(biāo),如果我們想逃避暴政的時間。

B

There's no such thing as time management.有沒有這樣的事,作為時間管理。

All you have is self-management and that's the key to making time your friend rather than your enemy.你有自我管理和關(guān)鍵就是讓時間你的朋友而不是你的敵人。

There are only 24 hours in your day, just the same as everybody else’s.有你一天只有24小時,就跟所有人都一樣的。

So how do you end up time-starved, frustrated, and behind in your work? 所以你如何最終對于時間緊迫,沮喪,在你的工作嗎?后面

Maybe it is because you don't know how to use those 24 hours to your advantage.也許是因為你不知道如何使用那些24小時你的優(yōu)勢。

If using your time wisely is a problem for you, you probably don't have a very good idea of where it all goes.如果合理地使用自己的時間對你有問題的搞亂,你可能不會有一個很好的主意,它的一切。

It just seems to go!它只是似乎走!

A good place to start, then, is to faithfully keep track of how you use your waking hours for a week.一個好的開始,然后,就是忠實地記錄你如何使用你的清醒時間一個星期。

The results will probably surprise you.結(jié)果可能會讓你大吃一驚。

The next step is to do some planning.下一步是做一些規(guī)劃。

You'll discover, among other things, that if you get seven hours' sleep a night, you have 119 hours per week to do everything/all/what you need to do.你會發(fā)現(xiàn),在其他方面,如果你得到七小時的睡眠一晚,你有119小時/周,做一切/所有您需要做的/。

That, of course, includes going to class, eating, athletic events, social activities, personal hygiene, telephone and TV time, etc.Be sure to schedule/allot time for all these in your 119 hours.當(dāng)然,這包括要去上課,吃飯,運動事件、社會活動、個人衛(wèi)生、電話和電視時間等。一定要安排/分配時間對所有這些在你的119小時。

Then try sticking to your schedule for a week.然后試著堅持一個星期你的時間表。

This should give you a good idea of where your real priorities are!這應(yīng)該給你一個好主意,你的真正的優(yōu)先!

Learn to say NO once your priorities are set.Turning down an invitation doesn’t mean you'll never be asked to do something again.學(xué)會說“不”一旦你的優(yōu)先級設(shè)置。拒絕邀請并不意味著你永遠不會被要求做的東西了。

Making a decision based on what you know is best for you at the time actually leads to greater respect from your friends.做決定基于你知道什么對你最合適的時間實際上會導(dǎo)致更大的尊重你的朋友。

Suggestions such as these will lead to a greater sense of freedom and accomplishment because you're in control.這些建議將導(dǎo)致一個更大的自由感和成就感,因為你在控制。

That's all self-management is--managing your life more effectively.這是所有的自我管理是更有效地管理你的生活,。

Unit1 攻勢已經(jīng)持續(xù)了三天，但是我們并沒有取得多少進展。師長（division commander）命令我們營（battalion）夜晚繞道敵人后方發(fā)起突然襲擊。然而，要繞到敵人后方，我們必須越過一片沼澤地（marshland）。我們很多人擔(dān)心會陷入泥潭之中。我們營長決定冒一下險。所幸由于寒冷天氣沼澤地都結(jié)上了冰，我們于天亮前到達目的地并從敵人后方發(fā)起進攻。這一下扭轉(zhuǎn)了戰(zhàn)局。敵人沒有戒備，不久便投降了。

汽車自從發(fā)明以來使交通運輸發(fā)生了革命性的變化，永遠地改變了人們的生活、旅行和辦事的方式。但另一方面，也帶來了危害，尤其是公路死亡事故。然而，現(xiàn)今由于計算機技術(shù)和電子傳感器的使用，有可能消除發(fā)生的大多數(shù)交通事故。例如，裝在你汽車上的電子傳感器能檢測到空氣中的酒精霧汽并拒絕啟動引擎。同樣，傳感器還能通過接受在軌道上運行的衛(wèi)星發(fā)出的信號檢測路況并大大減少你陷入交通擁堵的可能性。

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business.On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities.However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents.For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine.They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chance of getting stuck in traffic jam.Unit4 全球化對中國年輕人具有重大影響。例如，年輕的農(nóng)民正在大規(guī)模流向城市尋找工作。而對那些想出國深造或進外企工作的年輕人說，英語變得越來越重要。另外一方面，許多海外學(xué)子近年來回歸祖國，因為他們看好中國經(jīng)濟的長期增長前景。因特網(wǎng)加強了中國年輕人與其他地方年輕人的聯(lián)系。他們跟蹤最新潮流，模仿外國時尚。他們中的一些人似乎不在乎中國的傳統(tǒng)美德，更不要說發(fā)揚光大，這使得有人憂慮中國傳統(tǒng)文化會不會有一天終將消失。

Aspire

considerable economy elsewhere growth increasingly let alone On a large scale outlook strengthen vanish

Globalization has great implications for young Chinese.For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs.And for those who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprise, English has become increasingly important.At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long run growth for the Chinese economy.The internet has strengthened the links between the Chinese young people and those elsewhere.They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.Some of them don’t seem to care traditional Chinese culture, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit5 就我來說，我發(fā)現(xiàn)外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你僅憑外表去判斷諸如愛德華-海德-伯頓這樣的人，你就錯了。外表上，伯頓像一個表里一致的人。他個子很小，滿頭白發(fā)，有著一雙溫和、蔚藍的眼鏡，文雅且坦率。然而，他原來卻是十分的殘忍。他侮辱和愚弄窮困潦倒的倫尼，讓他去做那樣的蠢事。更讓人吃驚的是，他對倫尼的死全然冷漠無情。毫無疑問，他是一個鐵石心腸的家伙。

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton.In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid.Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel.He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6當(dāng)今我們處于持續(xù)的壓力之下，要工作更長的時間，要生產(chǎn)更多，擁有更多。許多人有一種錯誤的認(rèn)識：幸福就在于拼命地干，使勁地賺。

許多婦女今天感到同樣的壓力，要工作，要出人頭地，而與此同時，又要養(yǎng)育子女，承擔(dān)起家庭責(zé)任的負(fù)擔(dān)。

研究表明，工作狂往往使我們與家人的關(guān)系疏遠。它迫使我們長時間幸苦勞作，僅留微乎其微的時間與我們的親人呆在一起、交流感情。家庭成員間的親密關(guān)系在此過程中注定要消亡。

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more.Lots of people hole the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead, and at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families.It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.Unit 7 今天，在地震襲擊我的家鄉(xiāng)很久以后，我仍然能歷歷在目地回想起我與父母親從家里逃出來時所看到的情景。馬路對面的房子就在我們面前倒塌，瓦礫四處亂飛，嗆人的塵云遮住了太陽。驚恐的人們哭叫著四處奔跑。

如今那一場悲慘事件已經(jīng)過去很多年，舊城的廢墟上已經(jīng)聳立起一座新城。人們在小鎮(zhèn)的廣場上建立了一座紀(jì)念碑，以懷念那些災(zāi)難中的死者?？磥砣藗冃哪恐械膭?chuàng)傷已愈合，但對此事的記憶將不會消失。

Today, long after the earthquake hit my tome-town, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents.The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun.Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one.In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster.It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.

Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases.For example ,a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant—based foods.Therefore ,in the past decade ,the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats ,and to boost consumption of fruits ,vegetables ,and grains.Meanwhile ,the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid ,which encourages a minimum of three vegetable and two fruit servings per day.However ,many Americans still don′t meet／listen to these recommendations.Unit 3

The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances.He calls on all the teachers and students of the university to conduct themselves with honesty and never tell lies.He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.To tell or not to tell a lie can sometimes become a very sticky issue, but our president is adamant that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young.I agree with him, What about you?

Unit4

When I enrolled in Math202, I anticipated difficulties because I was not well founded in math in high school.Professor Richardson, a fine specimen of an old-fashioned gentleman, formally dressed, soft-spoken, and cordial, taught the course to his students.However, when it came to academic matters, he was by no means an easy person.Before he started his lecture, he discoursed enthusiastically on the importance of working in an orderly fashion, of being thoroughly prepared before each class, of being steadfast in one’s efforts, and of not being content with what you have learned.There was no doubt that teaching math was something sacred to him.His attitude towards work was infectious, and by and by I became an ardent math lover, too.Unit5

Robert E Lee was born into a distinguished Virginia family in 1807.Not only was Lee’s fathering a personal friend of George Washington, but he served 3 terms as governor of Virginia.Unfortunately, his life had been plagued by poor financial investments.He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced to flee the country.Lee’s mother was the dominant force in shaping Lee’s personality.Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children.Self-control, tenacity, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee.In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy.This began a new chapter of his life.Over the four years, he strictly adhered to the academy’s code of conduct and consistently finished near the top of every course.Unit6

Henry, a frail-looking man of fifty, was older than his robust wife Mary by 20 years.Everyone assumed that she would outlive him.So you can imagine our surprise when Henry came to the office in mourning after a week of absence and told us about the sudden and unexpected death of his wife.No one, including Henry himself, had foreseen that things would turn out this way.The tragedy filled Henry’s heart with deep grief, and for several weeks, he looked greatly distressed and became a completely changed person.He even speculated whether it would be better for him to rejoin his wife in paradise.Though each of us expressed our deep sympathy, no one thought it appropriate to intrude upon his family uninvited, in consideration of their need for need for peace and privacy at such a moment.
