Community)。共同体成立以后,逐步朝经济一体化和政治一体化的目标推进。在经济方面,已建立了关税同盟,对外实行统一的关税制度,并开始实行共同农业政策,逐步形成一个货物、劳力、劳务和资本自由流通的市场。在政治上,要求把共同体建成政治上统一的欧洲联盟,加强协商制度。共同体合计国民生产总值仅次于美国。该共同体和非洲、加勒比海和太平洋地区的发展中国家先后签定了3个《洛美协定》,就发展中国家同西欧工业发达国家之间的贸易经济关系作了规定。欧共体对世界经济有着巨大的影响。到80年代末,欧洲统一市场建立在即,1991年12月9日至11日,欧共体12国国家或政府首脑云集荷兰马斯特里赫特城,讨论和修改了主席国荷兰提出的经济货币联盟和政治联盟条约草案,并于1992年2月履行了《欧洲联盟条约》的签字手续,至此,欧洲联盟(European
Union)成立。

Are you going to be proud of what you are doing? Are you earning less than others in the same position? You may approach friends, relatives or career advisors for such information.It’s also a good idea to explore further into a certain job position at the interview.To discuss things like what you are expected to do exactly at work and what you can obtain from the job will impress the interviewers that you are rather serious about the job offer.B.询问某人的工作情况可从以下几个方面着手:
1)询问某人是干什么的:
What is your job? What do you do for a living? 2)在哪里工作:
Where do you work? 3)询问某人的职责:
What do you do there? 4)对工作的感受:
How do you like your work? C.Words and expressions relating to income:
salary: fixed compensation for services, paid to a person on a regular
basis薪水,薪金,付给一个人的固定劳动补偿,尤指公职人员,职员等拿的按年、按月或按周计算的年薪,月薪或周薪。

Describe people’s appearance
1.整体描写和局部描写
在描写人物时,我们通常会使用一些形容词描述人的身体各部分:体形、脸形、面颊、鼻子、眼睛、嘴巴、下巴、牙齿、头发的颜色和发型以及肤色等。有些形容词属于整体描写,例如:cool(酷),fashionable(时髦的), healthy, strong, tall, meager, smart,kind等;有些形容词属于局部描写,需要与某些身体器
官搭配使用,例如:round face, deep-set eyes(深陷的双眼),red
cheeks(红色的面颊), crooked nose(鹰钩鼻子),pointed chin(尖下巴),big mouth, even teeth
(平整的牙齿),blonde hair(金发), curly hair(卷发), sunburned skin(晒黑的皮肤)等。
2.生理特征的描写和人格特征的描写
以上与人体器官搭配的形容词都属于生理特征描写。但除了生理描写外,我们也可以描写人的性格特征,例如:generous
(慷慨的),modest(谦虚的),honest, serious, obstinate(固执的), self-conceited(自负的),kind-hearted(善良的)等
3.单个形容词和复合形容词
有些形容词由单个词构成,例如:tall, short, fat, thin slim
;有些形容词由两、三个词共同构成,成为复合形容词,例如:snow-white(雪白的),suntanned(黝黑的),ordinary-looking(相貌平平的)warm-hearted(热心的)等。
4.常用于人物描写的语法结构
系动词+形容词或名词
【例句】My brother is tall and handsome.He is tall and sturdy(强壮).The boy is extremely bright.My mother is thrifty with money.As a child, he is meager(瘦的)and weak.The old man looks thin.He looks old and his hair is all white.The girl tends to be jealous of those who make greater progress.形容词+名词

a wrinkled face a bad temper
a pretty girl a timid boy
Tom has a strong body and high intelligence.动词+副词
【例句】live happily;work actively
介词+名词
【例句】of medium build;of great wisdom
5.描写人物的基本原则
1)描写要具体,避免笼统化,应注重细节描写,体现人物的音容笑貌。在实践中,学习者要避一些泛泛而谈的词,例如:awful, bad,beautiful, fine, good, great, interesting, lovely, nice, pretty,wonderful等。好的描写需要注意具体的细节,所以用词要具体化。
【例句】He was thin, short, and dark.His hair was like a bundle of straw.His
dirty clothes and tired look were clearly signs of a long travel.His
clothes were made of cheap cloth.The coat was too short and the trousers
too loose.And he wore a pair of rubber shoes, which were very
unfashionable.He did not look smart at all.2)生理特征描写应与人物的性格、思想和要表达的情感相结合,并通过具体的事例得以体现,表现出人物的特性和特征。
【例句】Most Jewish women of her age were sickly, weak, broken in body.But this washwoman, small and thin as she was, possessed a strength that came from generations of peasant ancestors.His gaunt, expressive face was dominated by piercing eyes, conveying a mixture of intensity and repose, of wariness and calm self-confidence.He wore an immaculately tailored gray coat, at once simple and elegant.He moved gracefully and with dignity, filling a room tot by his physical dominance but by his air of controlled tension, steely discipline, and self-control.As if he were a boiled spring.He conveyed an easy casualness, which, however, did not deceive the careful observer.The quick smile, the comprehending expression that made clear that he understood English even without translation, the palpable alertness, were clearly the features of a man who had had burned into him by a searing half-century the vital importance of
self-possession.Function and Structure 1.It is important to learn how to say thanks and how to show your appreciation the proper way.Here are some tips: At a party —Take your cue from the host.If he went to the trouble to mail an invitation, send him a note in return.Receiving a Gift—If you thank a person profusely(极多地)after receiving a gift, it’s not necessary to send a note —so it makes you look extra-classy when you do.A business Function —If you’ve been at a formal business meeting and want to thank potential clients or business partners, type a paper note.If the event is a lunch or social function, write it by hand.2.In business, it is customary to express appreciation to people who help your company succeed.In fact, the absence of a ―thank you‖ may be misunderstood to mean the effort was not appreciated.Thanking customers has always been very effective for building royalty, demonstrating corporate commitment to service, generating referral business and differentiating a
business from the rest.There are a variety of ways to express gratitude.The way in which you thank your customers does not have to cost a lot of money and nothing says ―you are important‖ like a handwritten note.A short handwritten note has the power of personal engagement and high impact.It’s a small gesture but keeps customers coming back.Inside a business, when a boss wants to motivate his or her employees, a simple ―thank you‖ also works best.A smart employer knows it well that frequent recognition of accomplishments is the best way to encourage employees.Homework 1.Vocabulary 2.Grammar 3.Reading Summary In this unit, students have known main content of this unit.After class, students should learn more details.

Unit 6 Jewelry
Teaching Time: six periods Part I Pre-learning I.Teaching Aims

A.Different kinds of jewels:(precious)stones: a rare and valuable kind of mineral.宝石
gem: a pearl of mineral that has been cut and polished for use as an
ornament.宝石,珠宝
ruby: a bright red precious stone.红宝石
sapphire: a kind of transparent precious stone of a bright blue color.蓝宝石

topaz: a transparent yellowish mineral.黄晶,黄玉
pearl: a hard round small silvery-white mass formed inside the shell of

B.Diamonds Diamond(金刚石,钻石)is a clear, very hard and valuable stone, used in jewelry
and in industry, for example, a diamond engagement ring.It is the
birthstone of April and anniversary gemstone for the 10th and 60th years
of marriage.Diamond was discovered in 500 B.C.in India.The name
“diamond” comes from the Greek word “adamas” which means unconquerable---
suggesting the eternity(永恒)of love.Since ancient Greece diamond has
been the traditional symbol of love.The ancients believed they were
hardened dew(露水)drops, splinters(碎片)from the stars or crystallized
lighting.A diamond, the hardest substance known to man, is a crystallized
carbon which has unique powers of light reflection.Because it is composed
of a single element, a diamond is the purest of all gemstones.Diamond is
a colorless stone.Some other occasional colors are: blue, yellow, amber
(琥珀色的), red, green, pink.C.World production of natural diamonds World natural diamond production for 2003 has been estimated at a total of
million carats(1.克拉: 宝石重量单位=200毫克 2.开: 黄金纯度单位, 纯金为24开)with a value
of US$ 9.4 billion.About 20% of this volume are gems, which will be
polished and set into diamond jewelry and 45% are near-gems, which would
have been graded as industrial 40 years ago but are now polished by the
vast low-cost Indian cutting industry.The balance is of industrial
quality.DeBeers is the largest diamond miner in the world.Its mines in
Botswana, South Africa, Namibia and Tanzania produced 41%(US$ 3.9
billion)by value or 31% by caratage(43.9 million carats)of the world’s
2003 production.The company’s marketing arm, the Diamond Trading
Company(DTC), sold 48% of world total production---a steep fall from the
recent past when(in 2000)the company’s market share was about 60% and
the 1970s and 1980s when it was 80%.In 2003, Canada’s Northwest
Territories mines produced 11.2 million carats, 7.5% of the world total by
weight, worth an estimated value of US$ 1024 billion, which is over 12% of
the world total by value, making Canada the third largest producer of
diamond in the world, behind Bostwana and Russia, surpassing South Africa
and Angola.A large production of the gem-quality diamond produced by both
the mines in the NWT is in the range of high color and quality, and in
sizes that are most in demand in the world’s leading consumer market, the
USA.Botswana was again the world’s number one diamond-producing country
in 2003 terms of value(estimated at US$ 2.48 billion)and only marginally
behind Australian in carats mined(30.4 million carats).South Africa
contributed an estimated 12.4 million carats to the world’s total
production, which represents about 11% by value(US$ 1.1 billion), 96% of
which comes from mines owned by DeBeers.Namibia now recovers about half
of its diamonds from mining the sea bed with the remainder being found on
its beaches, which have been swept for alluvial diamonds since 1908.The
stones are high in average value, though small in average size.Russia is
the world’s number two producer of diamonds.All the mines are situated in
the Western Yakuti(西伯利亚的雅库特地区), and are owned by the state company
Alrosa.In Russia, half of the rough output is currently sold for
polishing and half is exported.Part II Teaching Procedure Reading I I.Key Language Points 1.jewelry: n.“Jewel” is a countable noun, meaning a valuable stone, such as a diamond,while “jewelery” is an uncountable noun, meaning small things that you

harmful, threatened tune was that they felt very angry when people like
Ephraim refused to get married and have children.译文:他总是不把结婚放在心上,对于家人开玩笑说是太挑剔了,他也不太在意。当别人生气地,有时恶意地,甚至用威胁的语气谈到此事时,他的家人无话可说。人们之所以这样说是因为像Ephraim

Function and Structure The Art of Apology(道歉的艺术)
Most of us were taught that offering an apology, any apology, when we make
a mistake will take care of most offenses.But offering the right apology,particularly in the corporate world, is not as simple as saying, “I'm
sorry.”
Done right, an apology can enhance both reputations and relationships.Done wrong, an apology can compound the original mistake, sometimes to
disastrous consequences.Sometimes Chinese do not consider westerner’s apologies to be sincere
although the westerners involved were being sincere in the western way of
honestly and directly expressing feeling of regret.So then the question
becomes, what do the Chinese on the receiving end of the apology consider
to be sincere? The conclusion is that for an apology to be considered
sincere, it must follow a proper form.Words of regret are not always
sufficient.The person apologizing must express a higher degree of respect
to the offended party to restore the balance in the relationship.Westerners sometimes use a cursory(草率的)apology to move past the
troublesome event and on to the next thing.This is offensive to a Chinese
who is paying attention to the form and not just the words of the apology.The westerner thinks he has done enough by saying “ I am sorry” but to the
Chinese these words are empty unless accompanied by proper communication
of respect and humility(谦恭).Generally, American apologies have one of the
following three elements, in addition to “I am sorry”:
1)an excuse---I was looking at an old map.2)an offer of repair---I’ll compensate the victims.3)a promise about future actions---It will never happen again.Chinese tend to interpret the offer of an excuse as a sign of insincerity.An excuse doesn’t improve an apology as it does for Americans;it weakens
it.So how do you build a good apology? Apologies involve three elements:
Acknowledgment of a fault or an offense, regret for it, and responsibility
for the offense.You can put them all together, but a sincere, effective
apology need not necessarily express all three;whether it should depends
on the circumstances.Here are some tips for making effective professional
apologies.1.Find words that are clear and accurate—not provocative.A good apology
should make the person wronged think, “Yes, she understands.” Often what
the offended person wants is accountability and vigilance;he wants to
know that it won't happen again.2.Don't apologize for the wrong thing.People and institutions tend to
apologize for what they find forgivable.If there is no clear relationship
between what the offender is apologizing for and what the offended
experienced as the original wrong, the apology actually
exacerbates(使„加重/恶化)the problem.At best, the offender will seem blind to
the problem;at worst, he will be perceived as intentionally distorting
it.3.Consider the angle of approach.Decide whether it will be easier for
you to apologize position to position or person to person.If you are
angry with the person you've got to apologize to, it may be easier to
frame the apology in terms of your respective jobs or ranks.Example: “We both work for a good company, and, as your colleague, I
should try harder to see past our individual differences.I'm sorry I
spoke harshly.”
Such an apology is likely to resonate favorably with both parties, even
when anger between them remains.In other circumstances, a person-to-person apology is easier to offer.For
someone who equates an apology with loss of stature, for instance, the
person-to-person apology can appear to be a magnanimous act that does not
diminish her.Example: “I can't agree with the stance you are taking, but
I like you and want us to work well together.I'm sorry I spoke harshly.”
Choose the approach that is easier for you to do well.That will save you
from making an apology that is so grudging that it fails.4.“I want to apologize” is not an apology.It's no more an apology than
“I want to lose weight” is a loss of weight.Do the work.Deliver a clear,direct apology;don't hide behind vagueness, circumlocution, or clichés.You may not be able to control whether your apology is accepted, but you
can control its quality.So make every effort to control what you can.This will increase your chances of feeling good about what you have done
with your apology—instead of feeling bad about having to do it.Practical Reading 产品目录Catalogue(cat)的核心内容一般包括产品名称、编号、规格、型号、品质、参考零售价(RRP= Recommended Retail
