Who said packaging is everything? I think the present enthusiasm for packaging often brings us more trouble than convenience. We could save time, trouble and space if there wasn't so much variation in the size andexample, should be made in standard sizes. There should be just four. For advertising purposes the makers could label them HUGE, GIANT, LARGE and REGULAR. Huge would be a big suitcase. Giant would be a normal size. Large would be small and Regular would be a small bag used for personal items you Swcarinpt to keep with you on a trip. If suitcases were made in only four standard sizes, we could save fifty percent of the space they now take up in airplane luggage compartments. At home we could have whole closets of space and the predictably shaped suitcases would make packing a pleasure.

大学英语综合教程四Unit6答案
Unit 6Text comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the autho r’s purpose of writing.A.II. Judge. according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. Refer to Paragraphs 1.It is true that the flag the narrator hangs draws little attention in Paris, but the reason is not that Parisians or Frenchmen are not interested in flag-hanging in general. Rather, the Independence Day is an occasion special for Americans only and, understandably, the French show little interest in the day or the celebrating flag.2. T. Refer to Paragraph 2.3. F. Refer to Paragraph 3. The author’s children have had little chance of learning the history of the U.S. at school, and the parents as native Americans are the only ones who could have taught them about it. This, however, is not true of children in general in France.4. F. Refer to Paragraph 4. They do not conceal the dark side of the American society but try to keep their children from the follies of the American society like school shootings.5. T. Refer to Paragraph 9-11.6. F. Refer to Paragraph 12. Globalization is both beneficial and detrimental. It helps to blur the clear-cut divide between cultures on the one hand but makes children less than fully immersed in a foreign world on the other.III. Answer the following questions.1. For one thing, flag-hanging is the only thing he can do in Paris to celebrate the Independence Day, which is part of his national heritage. For another, he intends to use it as a special occasion for teaching his children about the American history and as a reminder of their native American identity.2. The children seldom mix languages up because they have acquired French through the school instructions and English through their family life withEnglish-speaking parents. And they seem to know when to use which.3. Refer to paragraphs 4-8. The benefits of raising children in a foreign culture, as the writer suggests, include acquiring a foreign language and culture and avoiding being exposed to the problems of the native culture.4. It is difficult, according to the author, to make the children understand and identify the virtues of their native culture without living in it. Family instructions are not satisfactorily effective and have to be complemented by other means such asre-entering into the native culture and taking children to historical places.5. Because he grew up in a foreign culture and he knows it is quite an issue to know how to raise children in a foreign culture without losing their native identity. He understands that the issue involves the efforts on the part of the parents.6. Globalization is like a double-edged sword to the growth of children in a foreign culture. On the one hand, it helps to reduce differences between the foreign culture and the native culture, and facilitates the physical and spiritual re-entry into the native culture. On the other hand, it unfortunately makes it more difficult than ever for children to be fully immersed in the foreign culture.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken form the text.1. July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thus I am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2. And living away from our native country does not matter much.3. When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4. Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Western countries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Structural analysis of the textThe author of this text follows a “specific-general” pattern in his discussion, i.e. he first talks about what it means to his children to hang the national flag of their native land in a foreign country on July 4th every year and then expresses his view on the importance for expatriated people in general to keep their cultural identity, especially when the whole world is undergoing a process of globalization. The specific points can be found in his discussion of the costs and benefits of raising children in a foreign culture in Paragraphs 4-9 while the general conclusion can be found in paragraphs10-12, especially paragraph 12.Vocabulary exercisesI.

Unidentified Flying Objects
There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they may contain visitors from other planets./ To fly such an aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is even believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living among us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

Unit4-Unit6课文段落翻译1.第一册P88 Unit4 Passage1 第二段If you come from a culture that has a more relaxed view of time, you're likely to be surprised at how serious Americans are about time. While not all Americans are punctual all the time, the society as a whole operates on the basis of well-kept schedules. This is true in personal and community life as well as in U.S. business culture.如果你来自一个对时间有更宽松看法的文化，你很可能会惊讶于美国人对时间的严肃态度。
虽然不是所有的美国人都是守时的，但整个社会的运作都是在严格遵守时间表的基础上进行的。
这在个人和社区生活以及美国商业文化中都是如此。
2.第一册P88 Unit4 Passage1 第四段If the team had been American, it's likely they would have been annoyed, and unlikely they would have waited more than 10 minutes — at the most. They would have left me a message asking to reschedule the meeting. Why? Because American-style appointments have a firm end as well as start time, and if you start late you won't be able to finish the business at hand without running beyond the scheduled ending time.如果这个团队是美国人，他们很可能会很恼火，也不太可能等待超过10分钟——最多10分钟。

Unit 6 AnimalsUnit Goals1. Discuss the benefits of certain pets2. Compare animal characters3. Exchange opinions about the treatment of animals4. Debate animal conservation and animal rights5. Write about keeping petsLesson 1Lead-inTV Documentary: Pecking OrderA. Check the things that make parrots difficult pets, according to the report. They’re temperamental, they’re noisy, they demand attention, they need special care, they’re destructive, they bite.B. Circle the letter of the statement that best summarizes what each person says about parrots as pets.1.a2.b3.aVideo ScriptDiane Sawyer:Millions of people have parrots. That’s a family name that includes all kinds of birds from parakeets（长尾小鹦鹉）to macaws（金刚鹦鹉）to amazons. But many owners don’t understand bird behavior. As we showed you once before, these creatures can be entertaining and talkative, but they can also be, well, flighty(反复无常的) and temperamental(易怒的,喜怒无常的). What does their behavior mean? Perri Peltz has some insights into the mind of your bird.Perri Peltz: They can’t dance…Pet bird in the shower: Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.Perri Peltz:… but some of them can really sing…Pet bird in the shower: We wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.Perri Plitz: … and talk.1st pet bird: Hi.2nd pet bird: Are you OK?1st pet bird: Such a good bird!Perri Peltz: It is this amazing ability to communicate with us in our own language along with spectacular(吸引人的) beauty that makes parrots so extraordinary.2nd pet bird: Good girl. Good girl.1st pet bird: God bless you.Perri Peltz: Some say their keen intelligence and ability to bond(与…建立特殊的关系) to humans are the reasons Americans keep more than 15 million parrots as pets. And, according to experts, parrots can be just as smart as your two-to-three-year-old child.3rd pet bird: I’m a smart bird!Perri Peltz: But just as your toddler(刚学走路的小孩) goes through the terrible twos, so can parrots.Lise Mee: No bite.2nd pet bird: No, no. Don’t!4th pet bird: I’m a bad bird!Perri Peltz: In fact, parrot behavior can be a constant source of frustration for many parrot owners. Layne Dicker is a popular lecturer on the bird seminar circuit(演讲圈子). He is staff avian behaviorist at Wilshire Animal Hospital in Santa Monica.Layne Dicker:You have to be willing to learn what you need to know about parrots because they’re not like goldfish. They’re not like dogs. They’re not like cats. They’re wonderful. They ain’t easy.Perri Peltz: I don’t want to put your job down, but what’s the big deal, Layne? They sound like really easy animals to have. They don’t bark, you don’t have to take them out for a walk. I mean, what’s the big deal? Y ou throw a little bit of seed at them.Layne Dicker: They don’t bark, but they scream. They don’t really need to be taken out for a walk, but they need full spectrum light for at least four hours a day. You don’t throw them a handful of seed. They need fresh vegetables every day. Fresh water every time it gets soiled.Perri Peltz: Why is owning a parrot so different than having a pet dog or cat? You see, dogs and cats have been bred for thousands of years to be companion animals. Most parrots have been bred for less than 100 years, so that means parrots bring their own natural instincts into your home. Parrots in the wild live in flocks, so your pet parrot considers you his flock member. He expects to eat with you and interact with you most of the day. When you don’t give him the attention he expects, he may start demanding it by acting out or screaming. Birds can also be destructive. Parrots, especially macaws, will chew anything in their path. What about biting? Parrots don’t bite each other in the wild, but as pets, parrots can bite when they feel threatened, or when they don’t want your fingers in their cage. Or even when they want your undivided attention.Lise Mee: Ah, ah, ah. No, let go. Let go.Perri Peltz: With all the behavior problems, why not just punish a bird?Layne Dicker: If I can tell any parrot owner something about their parrot, it would be make them feel safe and secure. I hear about hitting, squirting with water, screaming at. Anything that makes a parrot feel insecure will break down the level of trust he has with you. And unless a parrot trusts you, all the negative behaviors are just going to get worse. You have to do everything with a parrot in a loving, supportive way. Yes, you’re so good. Yes.Part 2A. According to bird breeder and pet store owner Ruth Hanessian, which facts dopotential pet owners need to know about parrots?They will make noise, they may say things you don’t want them to say, they may behave like very young children.B. Answer the questions about the conure (a type of parrot) at the ParrotEducation and Adoption Center.1. She was kept in a covered cage in a dark room for six years.2. Because she made noise.3. She began pulling out her own feathers.VIDEO SCRIPTPerri Peltz: For the past twenty years, Ruth Hanessian has been a bird breeder and pet store owner in Rockville, Maryland. She’s now written a book called Birds on the Couch: The Bird Shrink’s(精神分析学家) Guide to Keeping Polly from Going Crackers and You Out of the Cuckoo’s Nest)(防止你的鹦鹉和你本人发疯的鸟类精神分析学家手册). If you could put a little red warning label on each parrot cage, what would it say?Ruth Hanessian: I am a bird. I have my own thoughts. I have my own way of expressing myself. I’m verbal. I will make noise. I will see what’s going on in your household and have an opinion about it.1st pet bird: Tarzan. Stop it. You behave yourself.Ruth Hanessian: I will be in charge of your life if you let me be.Perri Peltz: You write, “Will you freak out(烦得要命，吓得要死) if Polly screams during dinner parties? What if she learns to mimic your lovemaking cries and repeats them when your mother-in-law comes for a visit?” Can’t be.Ruth Hanessian: Oh, can be. If you decide to get a bird, you have to watch what you say around it, because they will pick up the things that you really don’t want them to say.1st pet bird: Oh, stop!Perri Peltz: Now, Ruth, you’re pushing it on the next one. Birds can be co-dependents? What are we talking about here?Ruth Hanessian: They get very involved with you, and they get very upset when you’re not there. It’s like having a two-year-old child for the rest of your life.Perri Pletz: And by the way, the rest of their lives can be a very long time. If taken care of properly, the bigger birds can live up to 100 years. And that’s just fine with Connie Pavlinac. She and her husband, Gary, are the proud parents of three birds. And Connie makes sure all of her birds’ needs are taken care of. First, their meals. Connie spends at least an hour and a half each day chopping fruits and vegetables for the older birds. Then mixing formula（配方）for the baby, making sure it’s not too hot, and hand-feeding him. Then another hour and a half sweeping floors and scrubbing and cleaning cages. And twice a week, there are the showers, followed by a fluff dry. And they have emotional needs.5th pet bird: Hi.Connie Pavlinac: Hi. They need to be talked to. They need to be held. They need to be stimulated, so if we talk to them, we entertain them with toys.Perri Peltz: Bonnie Kenk runs Parrot Education and Adoption Center in San Diego. In the last two years, she has taken in more than 100 unwanted birds, including this conure, whose owner couldn’t tolerate her constant screaming and kept her in a covered cage in a dark room for six years. You see, birds become quiet in the dark. With nothing to do and nothing to see, little Audrey turned on herself and started plucking out her own feathers. Bonnie Kenk: It’s really very, very sad that people just don’t… they don’t understand what they’re getting into when they get…when they get a bird. Conures are relatively noisy birds.Perri Peltz:How often, Bonnie, do you see a problem result because of an impulse purchase?Bonnie Kenk: Daily. That’s how we end up with most of our birds.Layne Dicker: Parrots are the worst impulse purchase in the world, and they’re so frequently purchased on impulse because they’re so beautiful and they’re so endearing in pet stores. You need to do your homework before buying a parrot. They are very, very, very smart.6th pet bird: Hello.Layne Dicker: They have very, very long memories.1st pet bird: OK, thank you, bye-bye.Layne Dicker: They’re amazing animals. Good night.7th pet bird: Good night.Layne Dicker: Good night, birds.7th pet bird: Good night.Layne Dicker: Good night.ListeningTalk About Animals in ZoosPart 1A.

The taste for beauty in nature often changes with the times. And the sunflower is a good case in point. The sunflower has been grown in Britain for four centuries, but it spent a long time out of favour. For years it was looked upon as something of a joke flower, climbing to a ridiculous height and bearing a top-heavy head that soon sagged and withered away. Some people grew them for their edible seeds, while school-children, interested by their size, strove to rival the world record of about seven metres. Not even the labours of the great artists such as Vincent van Gogh could transform the Script sunflower's unfashionable image. But in the past two or three years, all this has changed. Vases of sunflowers appear in the corners of smart shops, departments and boutiques. They creep into the background of graceful advertisements for high fashion. Seed businessmen and florists report unprecedented demand for them for gardens and ambitious indoor arrangements.
