Looking back on my twenty years’ teaching in high school, I attributed my success to patience, talent, and the constant pursuit of knowledge.人们几乎无法将蓄意行窃的盗贼拒之门外。所能做的只是没法阻拦他片刻，从而使其暴露在巡警面前。常识告诉我们，光照是犯罪行为的障碍物。家门口必须安装一盏灯，并在晚间开着。如果你碰巧是最晚一个回家，别只关门而不上锁。如果你决定购买精密的电子报警系统，别忘了索要报警器的标志，并把它们张贴在窗户和门上。此外，你还可以将报警系统连接到警署。

It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out.All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus explosing him to police patrols.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.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.1、红十字会派遣的队员很小心地对村里的饮用水进行消毒，以避免爆发瘟疫。The volunteers sent by the Red Cross disinfected, with great caution, the drinking water in the village so as to avoid an outbreak of plague.2、爱因斯坦用了多年的时间试图把电磁学理论和引力理论结合起来，但没有成功。Einstein spent many years trying to unify the theories of electromagnetism and gravity but failed.3、因其在激发学生创造性想象方面的出色表现，王教授获得了校长奖。

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it “The World Year of Physics”.It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death.In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics.His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority.It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.1、奶奶想当然地认为粮价要涨，所以买了许多大米。

Amid 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 undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence.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.

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 was 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-equality advocate.

Unit1 攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。师长（division commander）命令我们营（battalion）夜晚绕道敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而，要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地（marshland）。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰，我们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。

汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化，永远地改变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。但另一方面，也带来了危害，尤其是公路死亡事故。然而，现今由于计算机技术和电子传感器的使用，有可能消除发生的大多数交通事故。例如，装在你汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾汽并拒绝启动引擎。同样，传感器还能通过接受在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号检测路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。

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 全球化对中国年轻人具有重大影响。例如，年轻的农民正在大规模流向城市寻找工作。而对那些想出国深造或进外企工作的年轻人说，英语变得越来越重要。另外一方面，许多海外学子近年来回归祖国，因为他们看好中国经济的长期增长前景。因特网加强了中国年轻人与其他地方年轻人的联系。他们跟踪最新潮流，模仿外国时尚。他们中的一些人似乎不在乎中国的传统美德，更不要说发扬光大，这使得有人忧虑中国传统文化会不会有一天终将消失。

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 就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你仅凭外表去判断诸如爱德华-海德-伯顿这样的人，你就错了。外表上，伯顿像一个表里一致的人。他个子很小，满头白发，有着一双温和、蔚蓝的眼镜，文雅且坦率。然而，他原来却是十分的残忍。他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是，他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问，他是一个铁石心肠的家伙。

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当今我们处于持续的压力之下，要工作更长的时间，要生产更多，拥有更多。许多人有一种错误的认识：幸福就在于拼命地干，使劲地赚。

许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要工作，要出人头地，而与此同时，又要养育子女，承担起家庭责任的负担。

研究表明，工作狂往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它迫使我们长时间幸苦劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起、交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。

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，在地震袭击我的家乡很久以后，我仍然能历历在目地回想起我与父母亲从家里逃出来时所看到的情景。马路对面的房子就在我们面前倒塌，瓦砾四处乱飞，呛人的尘云遮住了太阳。惊恐的人们哭叫着四处奔跑。

如今那一场悲惨事件已经过去很多年，旧城的废墟上已经耸立起一座新城。人们在小镇的广场上建立了一座纪念碑，以怀念那些灾难中的死者。看来人们心目中的创伤已愈合，但对此事的记忆将不会消失。

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.

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.我的直觉是亨利会设法参加这次探险，因为他有一点冒险家的气质（omething of，instinct）

2).He is capable of sticking to the task at hand, even if he is exposed to noises.即使置身于一个嘈杂的环境中，他也能坚持做手头的工作。（capable，sticking

to）

3).The trademark was registered in accordance with the laws hitherto in force.这个商标是依据迄今有效的（in force）法律注册的。(hitherto，in accordance with)4).Oddly enough, many people volunteered to help organize the meeting, but only a few turned up.奇怪的是，许多人自愿帮助组织会议，但是只有少数几人到场。（Oddly enough，turned up）

5).The teacher’s affectionate words, along with his candid comments, changed the awy Mike perceived the the society and himself.老师那充满关爱的话语，以及坦诚的评价改变了迈克对于社会和他自己的看法，（affectionate，candid）

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.就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你仅凭外表去判断诸如爱德华*海德*波顿这样的人，你就错了。外表上。伯顿像一个表里一致的人。他个子很小，满头白

发，有着一双温和蔚蓝的眼睛，文雅且坦率。然而，他原来却是一个十分的残忍。他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是，他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问，他是个铁石心肠的家伙。

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(专制）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.他们正在探索医学研究新领域，试图治疗那些目前还无药可治 的疾病。（frontier，remedy）

2)Her unique teaching methods apart, Ms.Wilson, my math teacher, never tried to cram knowledge into my head.我的数学老师威尔逊女士不仅教学方法独特，而且她从不试图往我脑子里硬塞知识。（apart,cram）

3)The regular weather forecast by the Central TV Station keeps us up with the changes of weather where we go on a trip.中央电视台的定时天气预报使得我们旅行时不管走到哪儿都能知道天气变化。（keeps us up with，forecast）

4)The appalling explosion started a big fire and caused the partial collapse of the building.可怕的爆炸引起一场大火，并造成这栋大楼部分倒塌。（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.在现代社会里，浪费时间的方式比以往任何时候都要多，各种各样的娱乐销售（distraction）正在吞噬我们宝贵的时间。（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.当今我们处于持续的压力之下，要工作更长的时间，要生产更多，拥有更多。许多人有一种错误的认识：幸福就在于拼命的干，使劲的赚。

许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要工作，要出人头地，而与此同时，又要养育子女，承担起家庭责任的负担。

研究表明，工作狂（workaholism）往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长时间辛苦劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起，交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡，

George, the son of Mr.Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep.Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference.They called Mr.Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking.Mr.Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue.As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you?

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 was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution 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.
