Unit 4Technology

1. 问答题

1) Why do people from all walks of life flock to e-mail as they would to any new medium of expression? What do they do via e-mail?

They flock to e-mail because it is convenient, saves time, brings people closer to one another, helps them manage their ever-more complex lives. They write books, conduct campaigns, commit crimes and almost do everything via e-mail.

2) In what sense is e-mail both the catalyst and the instrument of the change of the way people interact with each other?

E-mail captures the essence of life at the close of the 20th century with an authority that few other products of digital technology can claim. The pace of life seems ever faster than before. E-mail simultaneously allows to cope with the acceleration and contributes to it. E-mail, in this sense, is both the catalyst and the instrument of the change.

3) What did research scientists originally set out to do with the Internet when they began to cook it up back in 1968?

When research scientists first began cooking it up in 1968, their primary goal was to enable disparate computing centers to share resources.

4) How did e-mail help the writer cope with the pressures of new-fatherhood and full-time freelance writing when his first child was born?

When the writer’s first child was born, e-mail seemed to him a perfect gift designed to help him cope with the irreconcilable pressures of new-fatherhood and fulltime freelance writing. It saved him time and money without ever requiring him to leave the house. It salvaged his social life, allowed him to conduct interviews as a reporter and kept a lifeline open to his far-flung extended family.

5) Why, according to Jenn Shreve, can e-mail help to initiate romance, especially for those who were shy or had painful romantic failures in the past?

According to Jenn Shreve, this is because e-mail offers a semi-risk-free environment to initiate romance.

6) E-mail helps flatten hierarchy in the work place. How?

It is far easier to make a suggestion to one’s superiors and colleagues via e-mail than it is to do so in a pressure-filled meeting room. Also, anything when one has something that is difficult to say, e-mail can make it easier. It serves as a buffer zone.

7) The writer captures the luxuries of e-mail, and meanwhile he adequately touches on the dark side. Give examples.

8) How can e-mail enable radically new forms of worldwide human collaboration, despite the dark side the writer has mentioned?

Worldwide, 225 million people who can send and receive e-mail represent a network of potentially cooperating individuals which dwarfs anything that even the mightiest corporation or government can muster. People can gather together to work on a 10

multitude of projects, to pool their collective efforts in a fashion never before possible.

Unit5 Success and Happiness

1. 问答题

1) Why does the author say that Aristotle got it right? And what does it here refer to?

The author means that Aristotle got it right in stating the goal of life is happiness. It refers to his opinion that eudaimonia, or happiness, is the goal of life.

2) What problems does the author mention that seem to make us unhappy? Those problems such as a feeling of emptiness and not belonging, a lack of defined relationships and solid social structures, etc. seem to make us unhappy but we cannot state them clearly.

3) According to the author, what is everybody’s concept of happiness?

Why does the author say that “nor could we be surprised by the politics of happiness”?

People usually summarize their happiness in terms of their work life, their community life and family life. Because people seem to have agreed upon the opinions on what makes us happy.

4) According to the author, why is the politics of happiness a notoriously difficult subject for politicians to grasp?

There are two reasons: One is that politicians are often interested in those measurable statistics such as inputs and outputs, targets and controls, and tend to ignore those immeasurable concepts such as happiness and well-being, which are generally not well served by statistical analysis. The other is related to their electoral cycles which put them in a culture of short-termism, with a need for immediate, quantifiable measurements and results.

5) What should the government do in bringing people happiness? Explain in details.

The government should show leadership and set the framework. Showing leadership means leading the change in the many areas that impact on well-being. For example, everyone would agree that spending more time with family is crucial to happiness. Here governments should be pioneers of flexible working with public-sector employees.

6) How do you understand the author’s argument that we need to refocus our energies on GWB – general well-being?

It means recognizing the social, cultural and moral factors that give true meaning to our lives. In particular, it means focusing on a sustainable environment and building stronger societies. And yes, it also means recognizing that there is more to life than money: indeed, that quality of life means more than the quantity of money.

7) How does everyone of us get involved in building society’s happiness? Cite example to illustrate your points.

Every one of us should play a part in it. So we need a revolution in responsibility. Corporate responsibility means businesses taking a provocative role, and taking account of their employee s’lives. Civic responsibility means giving power back to local government, community organizations and social enterprises so they can formulate local solutions to local problems. And personal responsibility means we all do our bit in cleaning up our local environment or participating in local politics.

8) What do you think is the implied meaning of “If markets are so wonderful, why can’t I find friends at the store?

Although we are in economic prosperity, we are losing one of the most important things --- friendship, which could make us happy.

第一单元? 如何发表演说 斯蒂芬·卢卡斯? ???? 在人类创造的万物中，语言可能是最卓越的一项创造。通过语言，我们可以分享经验、阐明价值观念、交流思想、传播知识、传承文化。确实，语言对于思想本身至关重要。和流行的信仰不同的是：语言并不是简单地反映事实，而是通过对事件意义的思考来帮助人们感悟现实。? ???? 优秀的演说者尊重语言并懂得如何驾驭语言。语言是演说者展示才能的工具，对于他们来说，如同其他职业的工具一样,语言也有特殊的功用。作为一名演说者，你应该意识到话语的意义，并懂得如何准确无误地使用语言，使其表达清楚，趣味横生，恰如其分。? 如同数字对于会计的重要性一样，准确地使用语言对于演说者至关重要。在没有确切知道一个词语的意思之前，千万不要盲目使用。碰到没有把握的词语，一定要查词典追根究底。当你准备演讲之前，一定要不断地问自己：“我究竟想说些什么？我究竟想表达什么样的意思？”因此，对于一篇演讲稿的用词来说，必须准确无误。? 如果语言表达清楚无误，听众就能很快抓住你的意思。鉴于此，演说者应该使用那些对于大多数人来说非常熟悉的词语，这些词语不需要任何专业背景就能够理解；演说者应该使用那些表达具体而不是相对抽象的词语；并且千万不要乱堆砌辞藻，哗众取宠。? 准确生动地使用语言能够使你的演说贴近生活。有一种方法可以使你的语言更加生动形象，那就是通过展开联想或创造语言图示。通过使用表达具体的词语、明喻或者暗喻等手法可以展开想像。明喻是对事物不同之处的比较，不过有些是相同的：它们总是包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。暗喻是一种隐性的比喻，它能够把两个形式不同但是有一些相通之处的事物联系在一起，暗喻不包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。? 另一种让你的演说生动形象的方法是注重语言的节奏感。有四种修辞格可以让你的语言富有节奏感：排比、重复、头韵和对比。排比是将一组或一系列具有相似结构的词语、短语或者句子排列在一起；重复是在一系列短句或者长句的开头或者结尾使用相同的一句话或者一组词语；头韵是指邻近或者相邻的几个句子中的首个词语的辅音字母相同；对比是将一些意思相反的词语或者句子并列在一起，通常使用排比结构。 恰当地使用语言是指语言的运用要符合特定的场合、特定的观众和特定的主题。同时，恰当地使用语言还意味着演说者要有自己的语言风格，而不是模仿他人的口吻。如果演说者的语言在各个方面都能够做到恰如其分，那么这篇演说成功的机率就会大大提高。??????? 优秀的演说并不是空穴来风、缺乏论据的决断。演说者必须找到强有力的论据来支持其观点。实际上，熟练地使用论据经常是区别一篇优秀演说词和一篇空洞演说词的关键所在。一般来说，通常有三种论据材料：事例、统计数据和证词。? ???????在演说过程中，你可以使用一些简明扼要的例子——比如过去发生的一个很具体的事件——有时候，你可以罗列好几个简明的例子，借此增强听众的印象。扩展性的例子——描述、叙述或者奇闻轶事——通常长一些，但更具体。夸张性的例子描述想像中的情形，这种例子能够将相关的想法有效地传达给听众。这三种例子都能够帮助演说者理清思绪、加强印象或者使演说更加娓娓动听。为了使表达更加富有效果，例子应该生动活泼，丰富多彩。 只要演说者对于统计数据用之得当并且加以解释，这些数据将有助于有效地传达信息，听众也能从统计数据中获益匪浅。最重要的是：演说者应该对统计数据了如指掌，并且运用得恰如其分。由于数据很容易操纵和捏造，因此，对于演说者来说，一定要确保图表没有张冠李戴，并且要确保统计方法正确，数据来源可靠。?

She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty.The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post , Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me.

基础综合英语课文翻译

基础综合英语课文翻译 导语：《基础综合英语》综合听说读写四个方面。每单元前半 部分涉及听说技能，而后半部分突出读写技能。这四种技能都围绕同一主题展开，相互补充，协同提高。下面是由的关于基础综合英语课文第一单元部分课文的翻译。欢迎阅读！ 对F的赞美 今年将有好几万的十八岁青年毕业，他们都将被授予毫无意义 的文凭。这些文凭看上去跟颁发给比他们幸运的同班同学的文凭没什么两样。只有当雇主发现这些毕业生是半文盲时，文凭的效力才会被质疑。 最后，少数幸运者会进入教育维修车间——成人识字课程，我 教的一门关于基础语法和写作的课程就属于这种性质。在教育维修车间里，高中毕业生和高中辍学生将学习他们本该在学校就学好的技能，以获得同等学历毕业证书。他们还将发现他们被我们的教育体系欺骗了。 在我教课的过程中，我对我们的学校教育深有了解。在每学期 开始的时候，我会让我的学生写一下他们在学校的不快体验。这种时候学生不会有任何写作障碍！我希望有人能让我停止吸毒，让我学习。我喜欢参加派对，似乎没人在意。我是一个好孩子，不会制造任何麻烦，于是他们就让我考试通过，即使我阅读不好，也不会写作。很多诸如此类的抱怨。

我基本是一个空想社会改良家，在教这门课之前，我将孩子们 的学力能力差归咎于毒品、离婚和其它妨碍注意力集中的东西，要想学习好就必须集中注意力。但是，我每一次走进教室都会再度发现，一个老师在期望学生全神贯注之前，他必须先吸引学生的注意力，无论附近有什么分散注意力的东西。要做到这点，有很多种办法，它们与教学风格有很大的关系。然而，单靠风格无法起效，有另一个办法可以显示谁是在教室里掌握胜局的人。这个办法就是亮出失败的王牌。 我永远也忘不了一位老师亮出那张王牌以吸引我的一个孩子的 注意。我的小儿子是个世界级的万人迷，学习不怎么动脑筋却总能蒙混过关，直到施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师，这种局面才彻底改变了。 当她教我儿子英语时，我儿子是一个高中高年级学生。他坐在 后排和他的朋友说话。她告诉我。你为什么不把他换到前排来？我恳求道，我相信令他难堪的做法会让他安心学习。史蒂夫特夫人从眼镜上方冷冷地看着我。我不会换高年级学生的座位。她说，我会给他们不及格的成绩。我大感紧张。我们儿子的学习生涯在我的眼前闪现。之前，没有老师以此威胁过他。我恢复镇定，艰难地表示我认为她是对的。到家时，我对此感觉良好。目前这是一种激进的做法，但是，嗯，为什么不这么做呢？她要给你不及格。我告诉我的儿我没有再多说什么。突然英语就在他的生活中成了头等大事。他期末得了一个A。 我知道一个例子不能说明问题，但我在夜校中看见了一群愤怒、怨恨的学生，他们愤恨的原因是学校让他们一路混，直到他们甚至都无法再假装跟得上。这些学生智力水平至少也算中等，但最终都退学
