Unit 1

Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature.Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.For quite a long time after man began to live in the r____________(1)of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces.He used to regard nature with its e____________(2)forces as something hostile to him.And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him.Very often, he was unable to o____________(3)the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others s____________(4)and collectively with his imperfect tools.Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually.He cut down forest, cultivated land, t____________(5)various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and t ____________(6)plants and animals.He s____________(7)and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.Nonetheless, with the constant e____________(8)of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its i____________(9)resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become e ____________(10)and still many others to be endangered.The previous d(11)balance between man and nature is on the v ____________(12)of breaking down.Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to m ____________(13)the destructive effect of technology on nature.The crisis of the e ____________(14)situation has become a global problem.The solution to the problem depends on r ____________(15)and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature.This can only be done by all humanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countries.realm 2 elemental 3 obtain 4 stubbornly 5 transferred 6 transformed 7 subdued 8 expansion 9 irreplaceable 10 extinct 11 dynamic 12 verge 13 moderate 14 ecological 15 rational

Unit 2

Technology is a “hot” issue nowadays.The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents e ____________(1)its disadvantages.Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the o ____________(2)point of view.The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly i ____________(3).For example, the boom in productivity has made goods better and cheaper.Therefore, things that were once l ____________(4), such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities.Medical technology, in particular, has b ____________(5)us a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy.On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life o____________(6)worse.Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people c____________(7)unhappy.In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and f____________(8)community.Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an e____________(9)subject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic.However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did g____________(10)work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being.In his famous paper e____________(11)“Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?”, Easterlin showed that there was no real c ____________(12)between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.In fact, technology is neither good nor bad.It d____________(13)on what we want to do with it.Therefore, the responsibility belongs e ____________(14)to humans who have to acquire a social conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances.emphasize 2 opposite 3 improved 4 luxuries 5 benefited 6 obviously 7 consciously 8 fractures 9 eternal 10 groundbreaking 11 entitled 12 correlation 13 depends 14 exclusively

Unit 3

According to Craig Russell, when we make an initial effort in our personal quests for knowledge, we may not even know that a certain field of learning exists.But, after we have done some reading, we will get to know more about the t____________(1).At the same time, we may feel that all the reading c ____________(2)more questions rather than answers them.We then realize how little we r____________(3)know and how much more we need to read and think and write.Russell suggests that we write after reading each time.His experience tells him that it is his writing that has led him to acquire a better g ____________(4)of the topic he studies.People may think that only those who know and who are s____________(5)of themselves write.For

Russell, however, it's just the o____________(6), for writing doesn't close things off – it opens things up.To say that the more we know, the more we know we don't know seems c____________(7).According to Russell, modern physics tells us that r ____________(8)itself is contradictory.The more closely scientists look into our p ____________(9)reality, the more it slips away from them.In a way, the more they learn, the less they know.Craig Russell believes that a proper understanding will inevitably lead us away from the force and r____________(10)of dogmatism and toward the flexibility and freedom of the i____________(11).Therefore, we must temper our pride in knowing with the h ____________(12)of not knowing.The truth always exists there, but, it is like the r ____________(13)because we can never really grasp it, never hold it in our hands and truly know it.We can only, as William James said, “live today by what truth we can get today and be ready to call it f ____________(14)tomorrow”.topic 2 creates 3 really 4 grasp 5 sure 6 opposite 7 contradictory 8 reality 9 physical 10 rigidity 11 individual 12 humility 13 rainbow 14 falsehood

Unit 4

Most people have work to do.With work, they can e____________(1)their lives.However, people who did p____________(2)labor were looked down upon in the past.Many people were c ____________(3)to take manual labor because it was an absolute n____________(4)for them to earn a living and to s____________(5)their families.By contrast, people who did m____________(6)work were highly respected.Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still i____________(7)their future when making choices for their career.What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social s____________(8)rather than whether they can realize their v____________(9)in it.In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be c____________(10)as inferior in social status.In fact, there is no e ____________(11)difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their m ____________(12).Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the job itself but on people's a____________(13)towards it.As long as you like your job, you will think you are f____________(14)enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.enjoy 2 physical 3 compelled 4 necessity 5 support 6 mental 7 idealize 8 status 9 values 10 classified 11essential 12 mind 13 attitude 14 fortunate

Unit 5

What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways.Some people c____________(1)money their whole lives.To them, more money means more success.Some people run after fame.With fame and r____________(2), they can gain the admiration and love of many others.However, some people d____________(3)themselves to the well-being of society.Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a r ____________(4)to those who have done valuable work.Those who perform their work excellently should be paid s____________(5).But success cannot be m____________(6)in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others.After all, money and power can a____________(7)people neither of happiness nor of respect from others.Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success.M ____________(8)fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time.But they are very likely to become the slaves of their c ____________(9)because of the public’s demands.In addition, they will easily become the t____________(10)of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well.To be f ____________(11), if one is unable to fully enjoy life and l ____________(12), the short-lived success is nothing but i ____________(13).Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important.As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society, he should be held in high r ____________(14).chase 2 reputation 3 dedicate 4 reward 5 sufficiently 6 measured 7 assure 8 Momentary 9 celebrity 10 target 11 frank 12 liberty 13 illusory 14 regard

Unit 6

Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists.Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may w ____________(1).Those who uphold truth have a strong s____________(2)of responsibility.Those who hold firmly to truth are f____________(3)to their duty and the people they serve.They c ____________(4)themselves to the well-being of others.With a ____________(5)to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any.It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for g ____________(6)in return.Truth d ____________(7)upon us slowly but surely.In the long quest for truth, people have a____________(8)precious knowledge and experience.However, truth also needs n ____________(9)just as plants need water, because many people are too p____________(10)with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it f____________(11)or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is t ____________(12).In short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity.Stick to the truth and we will w____________(13)a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, e____________(14)the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.wither 2 sense 3 faithful 4 commit 5 aspirations 6 gratitude 7 dawns 8 accumulated 9 nourishment 10 preoccupied 11 flowers 12 tendered 13 weave 14 elevate

Unit 7

We often hear people say, “Time is money.” But today many Americans have come to realize that the crazy pursuit of money is leaving them too little time to enjoy life.They are tired of working just for the l____________(1)of life and are beginning to change their fast-paced lifestyles for a simple and f____________(2)one, hoping to keep family, friends, work and play all of a piece.For some people, creating a more balanced life involves changing jobs or locations.For others, it means t____________(3)two incomes for one, in which case they must c____________(4)expenses.So some have sold out their s____________(5)homes and moved into smaller houses.They have given up the extra cars, unnecessary modern conveniences, and expensive h ____________(6).They now do things by themselves to avoid paying for the services of others.They resist the temptation to purchase things on i ____________(7)and spend money only on b____________

(8)necessities and things that do not make w____________(9)use of the earth's resources.However, they do not d____________(10)themselves what they like or enjoy.The change in their lifestyle is not one involving d____________(11);it is just simplification.They believe that they can still live a happy and fulfilling life on less money.Indeed, whether we can m ____________(12)a healthy lifestyle or not does not depend on how wealthy we are but on whether we have the r____________(13)and courage to discard our old c____________(14)habits.luxuries 2 frugal 3 trading 4 curtail 5 splendid 6 hobbies 7 impulse 8 bare 9 wasteful 10 deny 11 deprivation 12 maintain 13 resolve 14 consumption

Unit 8

The Story of an Hour

leaves us much to think about.In the story, when Richards, who worked in the newspaper office, learned that his friend Brently Mallard had been killed in a railroad d____________(1), he was greatly shocked.He only waited until he was a____________(2)by a second telegram and then he h ____________(3)to go to Josephine, sister of Brently's wife, and asked her to break the news as g____________(4)as possible to her sister because he knew Mrs.Mallard was a____________(5)with a heart trouble.He was afraid that if someone less t____________(6)brought the message to her ahead of him, there might be dreadful consequences.People usually expect a wife to accept such sad news with a p____________(7)inability, but Mrs.Mallard did not.At the news, she wept at once, with sudden, wild a____________(8)in her sister's arms, and then she went to her own room, forbidding anyone else to go in.When she was alone, she felt something s____________(9)coming to her, which gradually came to her mind, beginning to p____________(10)her.Hard as she tried, she couldn't get rid of the feeling.What was it? She didn't know.However, a clear and excited p____________(11)occupied her which made her regard her husband's death no longer as something important, because beyond that bitter moment she saw a long p ____________(12)of years to come that would belong to her absolutely, during which her husband would not i ____________(13)his will upon her any more.Just at that moment, her husband came back, t____________(14), carrying his briefcase and umbrella.Seeing him, she died of a sudden heart attack.disaster 2 assured 3 hastened 4 gently 5 afflicted 6 tender 7 paralyzed 8 abandonment 9 subtle 10 possess11 perception 12 procession 13 impose 14 travel-stained

Unit one

The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong resistance.The division commander instructed our battalion to take a gamble.We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties.By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to 20 degrees celsiusand the marsh froze over.Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear.This turned the tide of the battle.The enemy ,caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit three

Well begun is half done, as the saying goes.It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 thousand dollars a year in a large computer software prepared.Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of chance of success.Unit four

Professor Huntington’s paper greatly inspired me.According to him, in a pluralistic society, this will inevitably be different opinions.The key is to deal with them in such a way that they can play a constructive rather than destructive role.He argues that in a plural society we must stress importance to interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and looking at issues from the perspective of other people.If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disrespect, the whole society may be paralyzed.I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above, then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization.Unit seven

A severe earthquake occurred all of a sudden at 10 a.m.yesterday in a rural area,about 200 kilometers east of the city.Initial reports coming out of the region indicate the earthquake has caused widespread damage and heavy casualties.Many adolescents were among those injured or killed.Yet it remains obscure exactly how many people were hurt and killed as the entire area has been enveloped in rubble.However , one thing is certain: many face years of pain and suffering.Local people were clearly shaken by this reminder of their mortality.Some religious ones have gathered to pray that it will never recur.

In 1800, Napoleon tried to cross the Great St.Bernard Pass in the Alps with his army.1800年,拿破侖試圖交叉圣伯納德大山口在阿爾卑斯山和他的軍隊。

Thousands of his men were buried beneath 50 feet of snow.成千上萬的人埋在50英尺的雪。

During World War I, men fighting in the Tyrolean Mountains lost more numbers to avalanches than to bullets—more than 40,000 lost their lives between 1915 and 1918.在第一次世界大戰期間,男人戰斗在提洛爾人山失去了更多的數字雪崩比子彈更超過40000失去了他們的生命在1915年和1918年之間。

The automobile has enabled people to travel and transport goods farther and faster, and has opened wider market areas for business and commerce.汽車使得人們旅行和運輸貨物的更遠更快,打開了更廣闊的市場領域,商業和貿易。

The auto industry has also reduced the overall cost of transportation by using methods such as mass production(making quantities of a product within a short period of time), mass marketing(selling products nationally and globally rather than locally), and globalization of production(assembling products with parts made worldwide).汽車行業也降低了整體運輸成本通過使用方法如大規模生產(制造大量的產品在很短的一段時間),大眾營銷(全國和全球銷售產品而不是在當地),和全球化的生產(組裝產品,成為全球的部分)。

UNIT3 A What is the best way to impress a prospective employer when you go for an interview for a job?

No matter how many encouraging responses you have gotten to your job inquiry letters, with rare exceptions you will not get a job offer without an interview.無論多少鼓勵響應你的美麗你的工作查詢信件,除了極少數例外你不會得到一個工作機會沒有一個面試。

Go to the library to find all relevant information about the company and, if you can, on the person who will interview you.去圖書館查找所有相關公司的信息,如果可以,在人誰將面試你。

Have material with you that the employer might ask for----samples of your work, names and addresses of references, extra copies of your resume.有材料,雇主可能會要求——你的作品樣本,姓名和地址的引用,額外的拷貝你的簡歷。

An employment manager for a major construction company offers this advice.雇傭經理主要建筑公司提供了這個建議。

“If it’s obvious you haven’t spent any time preparing for the interview----that is, you don’t know what the company does, where it does it, what kinds of jobs it has----then don’t expect the company to take you very seriously.” “如果這是明顯的你沒有花任何時間準備面試——那就是,你不知道什么公司做,它,什么樣的工作它——然后別指望公司帶你非常認真。”

Prior to an interview the employer has probably seen your resume and perhaps talked with you on the phone.面試前雇主可能已經看過你的簡歷,或許和你在電話上交談。

What employers look for in interviews is what you might call personal chemistry----how you look and act, whether you exhibit self-confidence, how you would fit in with other members of the organization.雇主尋找在采訪中可能就是我們所說的“個人化學——你怎么看起來和行動,無論你表現出自信,你怎么樣才能符合組織的其他成員。

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。

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.他告訴我他已經破產,而不是一分錢離開,老伯頓只會發現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,也許伯頓知道他發送這個年輕人對他的死亡,但是太冷血到保健。

B Child Abuse, intentional acts that result in physical or emotional harm to children.虐待兒童、故意行為,導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,它是公認的一個重大社會問題,尤其是在工業化國家。

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

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。

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參與,和(4)家庭結構。

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.當前的方法包括識別高風險的父母這樣年輕,單身,初產婦——提供父母的技能培訓、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

經常訓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常基礎上,鼓勵社區合同,和擴大看守的知識/可用的社會servi

The pace of life seems to grow ever faster.生活的節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。

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小時你的優勢。

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.學會說“不”一旦你的優先級設置。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,。

段落翻譯

Human beings live in the realm of nature.They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it.With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “blood” ties.No one can live outside nature.However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down.Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed.Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human being is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.Uint4 Working with words and expressions
