You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.” In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.Unit 4 I.Vocabulary 1.Fill in the gaps with words or phrases…

I find it ironic that Tom has a selective memory—he does not seem to remember painful experiences in the past, particularly those of his own doing.Translate the passage: Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT.She craves knowledge and works hard.However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus.Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective.It is ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education.When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight.So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President.The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 I.Vocabulary 1.Fill in the gaps with words or phrases…

1)Strictly speaking 2)drifted 3)resembles 4)invaded 5)is conquered 6)fascinating

7)snack 8)put into practice
