III.

1.Refer to Para. 2 and 5. Most people believe that fun is and should be readily available

whenever they want it. If there isn’t fun, they would make fun, or if something is not fun, they would make if fun. In a word, they deserve fun which is within their reach.

2.Refer to Para. 10. Advertisements, or TV commercials, help to develop the modern fun

fetish by setting examples and showing how much fun we should have got from consuming all the items being advertised.

3.Refer to Para. 1

4. Jordan was twelve when she, as she remembers, had an especially

wonderful time. She had a fun night to look forward to that day and she had lots of candies and her friend kept imitating a sailor’s posture and words. All these were simple forms of fun yet appealing to a girl of twelve. More importantly, she was a simple, innocent girl without a dulled and insatiable appetite for fun; that is why she could feel the fun of simple joys.

4.The author employs the technique of negation---i.e. defining a term through showing

what is not--- in defining the concept of fun. Fun, according to Jordan, is not a family visit to Disney World; neither is it celebrating big occasions. Fun is in simple pleasures of life which lies rather in one’s work and the fulfillment of one’s duty.

5.(open)

IV. 1. Nowadays, people believe that they can have fun whenever they want it, and that they should have fun; otherwise, they would be leading a dull and bitter life as a puritan.

2. We have long assumed that fun was easy to have, but now we are paying a price for

that shallow-mindedness, i.e., our party is hardly as much fun as it is expected to be.

1.“有趣吗？”这一问题使所有其他问题黯然失色，比如：“道德吗？”“仁慈吗？”“诚

6.He doesn’t deserve such a severe punishment as he has committed neither serious errors

nor grave crimes.

7.Every time I met him, he would talk a whole lot of nonsense.

8.Reputation is a trap into which many people are ready to fall.

III. 有些人认为，生活中乐趣胜过其他一切事情。他们甚至从不考虑严肃的事情，不考虑这事是否合乎道德，是否关乎诚信或实属必要等（而只关心是否好玩）。当然，许多事情确实有乐趣。全家郊游有乐趣，打场篮球有乐趣，喝着咖啡聊天有乐趣。但是，如果你把找乐子看成生活中必不可少的东西的话，你必然会用越来越刺激的方法来为自己提供乐趣，典型的做法是玩更险的，要么喝更多酒精。你不应亵渎乐趣，否则，不管你如何努力，就是没有乐趣。这就是“过”的代价。正确的方法是带着一份敬意来看待乐趣，这样，你时常可以感受到一点新鲜的乐趣。

Exercises for Integrated skills.

I.Dictation.

The first of April is commonly known as April Fools Day and it’s a custom on this day to play a trick on a friend. You do this by causing your friend to believe something that isn’t true. If your friend falls into the trap, then he or she is an April fool. This strange custom has been observed by both children and adults for centuries. Its origin is uncertain and may once have been cruel. But today the tricks and practical jokes are harmless and played mostly for fun. Usually April Fools’ jokes are played on friends and colleagues but sometimes they are played on a wide scale. One serious national newspaper reported on a new machine to transport passengers from

London to Australia in ten minutes. Another published a four-page survey of a nonexistent island in the Pacific. And even on BBC television news there was an item which showed a kind of Italian noodle being harvested from trees.

综英5 Unit4 课后练习参考答案

Unit 4 Part I Listening Task Script for the recording: You may recall from Unit One, the author Eudora Welty telling us how she, in her early childhood, developed a love for reading under the influence of her parents. Perhaps you'd like to know what her teachers were like. Well, let's listen to what she has to say about them: Every school week, visiting teachers came on their days for special lessons. On Mondays, the singing teacher blew into the room fresh from the early outdoors, singing in her high soprano "How do you do?" to do-mi-sol-do, and we responded in chorus from our desks, "I'm ve-ry well", to do-sol-mi-do. Miss Johnson taught us rounds —"Row row row your boat gently down the stream", — and "Little Sir Echo," with half the room singing the words and the other half being the echo, a competition. She was from the North, and she was the one who wanted us all to stop the Christmas carols and see snow. The snow falling that morning outside the window was the first most of us had ever seen, and Miss Johnson threw up the window and held out wide her own black Cape and caught flakes on it and ran, as fast as she could go, up and down the ais1es to show us the real thing before it melted. Thursday was Miss Eyrich and Miss Eyrich was Thursday. She came to give us physical training. She wanted no time on nonsense. Without greeting, we were marched straight outside and summarily divided into teams (no choosing sides), put on the mark, and ordered to get set for a relay race. Miss Eyrich cracked out "Go!" Dread rose in my throat. My head swam. Here was my turn, nearly upon me. (Wait, have I been touched —was that slap the touch? Go on! Do I go on without our passing a word? What word? Now am I racing too fast to turn around? Now I'm nearly home, but where is the hand waiting for mine to touch? Am I too late? Have I lost the whole race for our side?) I lost the relay race for our side before I started, through living ahead of myself, dreading to make my start, feeling too late prematurely, and standing transfixed by emergency, trying to think of a password. Thursdays still can make me hear Miss Eyrich's voice. "On your mark —get set — go!" V ery composedly and very slowly, the art teacher, who visited each room on Fridays, paced the aisle and looked down over your shoulder at what you were drawing for her. This was Miss Ascher. Coming from behind you, her deep, resonant voice reached you without being a word at all, but a sort of purr. It was much the sound given out by our family doctor when he read the thermometer and found you were running a slight fever, " Um-hm. Um-hm." Both alike, they let you go right ahead with it. After Listening 1.On Mondays, Miss Johnson, our singing teacher, would blow into the room, singing in her high soprano "How do you do?" to do-mi-sol-do, and we students would respond in chorus from ouir desks, "I'm very well", to do-sol-mi-do. 2.Miss Eyrich gave us physical training on Thursdays. She wanted no time on nonsense. Without greeting, she ordered us to march straight outside and get set for a relay race. 3.In a very composed and slow manner, the art teacher Miss Ascher would pace the aisle and

Unit4 课文翻译及课后练习答案

Unit4 无子女家庭：违背十万年来的繁衍规律 课文翻译： 二十好几的凯茜、韦恩夫妇结婚已有五年之久，没有孩子。上次凯茜娘家有人问：“你们打算什么时候要孩子，组成一个家庭呢?”她答道：“我们已经是个家庭啦!” 凯茜与韦恩属于决定不要孩子的年轻已婚夫妇群体，其人数正在日益增长。最近一项调查显示在过去的五年中，年龄在25至29岁之间妇女不愿生养的百分比几乎翻了一番，在18至24岁的已婚妇女中几乎增至三倍。在这个似乎大胆反抗生物性和社会性的决定后面隐藏着什么原因呢? 或许最能公开坦陈心曲的无子女夫妇是《婴儿陷阱》一书的作者：埃伦，派克，其夫威廉，一位广告总经理兼全国不生养夫妇协会主席。派克夫妇认为他们和协会均无意反对生儿育女，不过是反对不管人们是否愿意和需要孩子就迫使人们传宗接代的社会压力。 “这是一种生活方式的选择，”埃伦说，“我们选择自由和自愿，清净和闲暇。这也是一个朝哪个方向付出努力的问题——在你自己的小家庭之内或在一个大的社团之中。这一代人面临有关地球生命延续的严重问题以及生命质量的问题。我们的孙辈也许将购票去观赏最后一批红杉或排队去获取氧气配给。有人抱怨在回到有五个孩子的家途中被交通堵塞困住好几个小时，但是他们不能将孩子与交通堵塞联系起来。在一个受到人口过剩一系列后果威胁的世界上，我们正在参与一项事业使膝下无子的生活模式为社会所接受并受世人尊重。太多的孩子作为一种文化强制的后果而呱呱坠地，离婚和虐待儿童的相关统计充分揭露了这一结果。” 埃伦的丈夫补充说：“每位朋友、亲戚、同事不停地给你施加压力，劝你要孩子，说什么‘发现你生活中失去的东西’。好多好多人很晚才发现，所谓他们失去的东西其实是他们完全不适合做的事情。” 埃伦还说：“从抱第一个洋娃娃开始，大到欣赏电视肥皂剧，成年后参加鸡尾酒会，无形之中，总有一种压力要你为人父母。但是让我们来看看养育失败的比率吧，或许天下父母应该视为像当医生一样的专门职业。有些人擅长此道，他们应当生养孩子；有些人一窍不通，他们应该认为他们还有其他的选择。” 专业观察家同意这一看法：很多人生养孩子没有正当的理由，有时候则完全没有理由。男人常常稀里糊涂就当上了父亲，根本就没有作出审慎的选择；对许多妇女来说，怀孕能够成为一种方式来逃避不可解决的冲突，譬如，迅速获得名分，或改进自己的不良形象，以及满足童年时代未曾得到的关注和关爱的需要。 我与许多人类行为领域的专家交谈，探讨为什么那么多年轻夫妇决定不要孩子，他们的看法也是众说纷纭。一位家庭治疗专家把不要孩子的决定描写为“对当今世界形势基本的本能反应”，暗示像动物群居本能那样的东西正在起作用，来应对人口过剩、城市拥挤、环境污染与核战争危险。群居本能促使妇女感到繁殖人口有违心愿，并指引她们去寻找在家庭生活之外实现自我价值的新方式。 不止一位精神病医生暗示，凡是不愿生育的人有都自恋癖——觉得自己心甘情愿迫不得已，为照顾别人与受人照顾这个互相对立的内心冲突自圆其说。有位精神病医生说：“这些人不能容忍照顾孩子的想法，他们没有多余的爱分享给孩子，”并补充道，“你们这是对亘古以来人类繁衍生生不息的离经叛道。”他的另一位同事插话说：“情有可原嘛，我们谁不想为我们的欠缺找理由? 且不论他
