Unit8

Active reading (1)

Language points

1 She was called Katya, a dewy-eyed, sweet girl from Voronezh, who accepted Yakov on his own

reckoning. (Para 1)

As dew falls in the early morning and symbolizes innocence and newness, the word dewy-eyed means

innocent and lacking in experience about life.

Reckoning means one’s own view and account.

The sentence means that an innocent-looking girl from a less sophisticated city than Moscow was willing

to believe Yakov’s own high opinion of himself.

2 On International Women’s Day, Soviet women bask in their menfolk’s love and gratitude. (Para 2)

To bask means to relax in the sun. Here it depicts how comfortable and pleasant Soviet women feel on this

day.

3 Their husbands, with much cursing and clattering of pans, cook breakfast for the family … (Para 2)

The expression with much cursing and clattering of pans means with a lot of swearing and banging

about – as they were not used to doing it, they made many mistakes.

4 A Soviet woman’s days are usually taken up with … nipping out of work at lunchtime to buy

something for dinner … (Para 3)

To nip out means to go out for a very short time probably unofficially. It is a slang and is similar to the

expressions pop out and sneak out.

5 Their husbands … by drinking themselves into a stupor with toasts “to our beloved ladies …”

(Para 4)

Stupor is a state in which you cannot think, speak, see, or hear clearly, usually because you have drunk

too much alcohol. Sadly, Russia does have a serious alcoholism problem and early death from overconsumption

of vodka is far too common.

6 “I certainly will,” said Yakov, squeezing in between Liza Minelli and Katya and draping an arm

around each of them. (Para 10)

Yakov fit in between Liza Minelli and Katya although they were sitting close together, and put an arm

around each girl.

7 Yuri and Emily arrived and we covered blinis with thick sour cream and red caviar and drank

champagne, as families did all over Voronezh. (Para 13)

Sour cream is fermented cream, which is smoother and thicker. Eastern European food is noted for its sour

flavours.

Caviar usually refers to the roe or eggs of the sturgeon, a large fish, and is a very expensive special food.

It can also refer to other commoner fish roes.

Chinese or Western, it’s a time to relax

Language points

1 Their fears may be justified to a certain extent. (Para 4)

The word justified means having an acceptable explanation or reason. The writer then gives the

explanation in the following sentence.

2 For good or bad, the world has possibly undergone more changes … (Para 5) The writer does not want to get into the question of whether what has happened has been good or bad. The

point is to agree that there has been change and it has consequences.

3 Television, we thought, was the last uniting factor till we got a feel for the Internet. (Para 5)

The expression get a feel for something means to be accustomed to something or to have or develop an

understanding of something and skill in doing it.

4 Nothing comes without a rider in this global market. (Para 6)

A rider is an American expression for a clause added to a law or legal document, often setting an extra

condition.

The sentence means nothing in the modern world comes without some unexpected or unwanted

consequences.

5 Be it on the mainland or in the highly developed West or in the poorest of societies, a festival carries

the same meaning. (Para 7)

a bottle of scent perhaps, or a pair of tights, which she will exclaim over until the children, scarlet with

fury, insist that their mother makes them their proper breakfast. (pans 在

原文中其实泛指厨房里的

物件,译成汉语时应为“锅碗瓢盆”。)

在国际妇女节那一天, 苏联的妇女们沐浴在男性所给予的爱意和感激之中。因为这一天是假日,早

上她们不用去上班,可以懒洋洋地躺在床上。而她们的丈夫们则要为全家人做早饭,虽然嘴里骂骂

咧咧的,还弄得锅碗瓢盆叮当乱响;到了十点,丈夫颇为自豪地把煎得焦糊糊、皱巴巴的鸡蛋端到

妻子跟前。盘子边上还放着一束鲜花,一份小礼物,可能是一瓶香水或者一双裤袜,妻子会高兴得

大叫起来,激动好一会儿,直到孩子们怒气冲冲地跑过来,小脸涨得通红,闹着要妈妈给他们做一

2 For good or bad, the world has possibly undergone more changes in the past two decades than it did

in the past two centuries. We have used more resources, burnt more fuel, caused

more pollution and

killed off more animals and plants as we have come closer to each other to form a truly global village.

Television, we thought, was the last uniting factor till we got a feel for the Internet.

All these changes have made us take a different look at the world beyond and our home within. Nothing

comes without a rider in this global market. If we want to be part of the dazzle and comfort that the

West is known for, we had better accept some of its anomalies, too. This is not to say that festivals mean

something else to the West.

不管是好是坏, 世界在过去二十多年间所经历的变化可能比过去两百年间所经历的还要多。为了让

彼此间联系得更紧密,营造出一个真正的地球村,我们消耗了更多的资源,烧掉了更多的能源,造

成了更多的污染,灭杀了更多的动植物。过去,我们一直把电视看作是连接全世界的终极手段,直

到我们了解了互联网,才发现事实并非如此。

所有这些变化都让我们用另外一种眼光来看待外面的世界以及我们自己的家园。在这个全球市场中,

得到任何东西都是要付出代价的。如果我们想拥有西方世界那著名的眩目而舒适的生活,我们也必

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去,留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时,我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意:竖起耳朵,闭上嘴巴,但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室,大步走了进去。然而,进了教室,我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢?犹豫再三,我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课,”教授开始上课。天哪,我还以为这里是文学课呢!我的脖子后面直冒冷汗,摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室,却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办?上课途中就站起来走出去?教授会不会生气?大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上,尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿,便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去,就在这时,我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了,我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间,我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过,然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里,我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是,食堂里所有的学生都站了起来,鼓掌欢呼,我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景,而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里,我独自品尝羞辱,用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天,我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物,踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候,我对他满怀同情。他站起身,咧嘴大笑,双手紧握高举在头顶上,做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂,可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻,我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris.

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然,如果不立即采取行动,她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语,护士会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字?” 8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。 10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在,偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛,用拳头堵住嘴,想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧,因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时,一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭,她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后,又立即作了回答。护士一边说,一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头,她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿,小男孩不再哭了,他睁开眼睛,用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头,小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血,小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命,没有比这更伟大的爱了。
