新编大学英语文化阅读教程1教师用书Unit 8Warm-upStep 1 Talk about the picturesTai Chi is a form of exercise that began as a Chinese tradition. It’s based on martial arts, and involves slow movements and deep breaths. Tai Chi has many physical and emotional benefits. Some of the benefits of Tai Chi include reducing anxiety and improving cognition. It may also help you manage symptoms of some chronic conditions, such as breast cancer or heart failure.Tea, for thousands of years in the East, is regarded as key to keeping healthy, happiness, and wisdom. Studies have found that drinking tea may help with cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; encourage weight loss; lower cholesterol. Tea also appears to have anti-inflammatory effects.Step 2 Sharing your ideasThere are some common Western ways of staying healthy that are not that popular among Chinese people. Some western people like to go to gym and build muscles with high-intensity training and high-protein diet plan, and some others like sunbathing, swimming and jogging. They also share some of Chinese views on how to stay healthy, such as “don’t smoke” and“exercise regularly”.Reading 1Language focus1. hauled2. boastful3. pores4. sensible5. mania6. germs7. thump8.

BCultural thinkingBased on my own experience, there are two tips for keeping a balanced and healthy lifestyle. First, we should eat mindfully. It’s important to distinguish between eating when we are hungry and eating for the sake of eating itself. When we are stressed or angry we should avoid using food as a coping mechanism, as it’s a habit that can easily go out of control and lead to eating disorders in the future. Second, we need to make time for exercise. Regular exercise is beneficial to the body and also the mind. The flow of happy hormones produced is the reason they call it a “runner’s high.” But we need to remember not to over exercise, which may make us weaker rather than stronger. Our body needs rest. It’s important to take some time to enjoy activities such as reading or meditating.Reading 2Language focus1. persists / persisted2. mindset3. malleable4. idealized5. homely6. genetic7. mirage8. combat9. unattainable10. consistentlyGlobal understanding1)The Ugly Duckling2)harm3)entity4)incremental5)growth mindset6)unattainable7)sense of self-worth8)plastic surgery9)healthy pursuitsDetailed understanding1) F2) F3) F4)T5)T6) F7)T8)TCultural thinkingI think the message “beauty is malleable” can be either beneficial or harmful, depending on how people interpret it. There are people who are mentally harmed due to appearance issues, because they usually suffer psychological problems after strangers laughed at them. For them, make-ups and cosmetic surgeries can be a life-saving straw.However, as the passage says, the promotion of “beauty is malleable” may cause many social and mental problems, like over anxiety about appearance and a unified standard of beauty across country. I suggest people should learn to admire their uniqueness of beauty and be more confident. At the same time, the inner beauty should be more valued in the society, not just the appearance.Integrated thinkingI know some young women having insufficient food every day in order to keep a slim body shape. Losing weight by over-dieting can be very harmful to people’s health. Being on a diet for a long time may lead to anorexia, depression, irregular menstruation and other diseases.We should first give them a scientific explanation of why their way of keeping healthy or beautiful is wrong, telling them the harm the wrong beliefs can bring about. We can also suggest some sensible approaches to staying healthy and beautiful. For example, in Chinese culture, practicing Tai Chi, jogging after dinner or the square dancing can be recommended.Culture mosaic1 The secret beauty issue Asian-Americans deal with every summerAnswer 1: Body shapesWomen in the East are very much concerned with the slenderness of their bodies. Compared to Western women, Women in the East focus more on keeping a slender figure. In the West, there has been a rise of body positivity with more curvy figures being embraced by the beauty industry.Answer 2: Face TypesFace types such as a heart face and oval face are another component of beauty in Eastern society. In contrast, the Western culture is more in favor of angular faces.2 TCM readily winning acceptance overseasI have two suggestions. First of all, I can hold international cultural exchanging activities, which not only promote traditional Chinese medicine on campus but also enrich international students’ knowledge of Chinese culture. Also, I can use new media for promotion. We can play some short videos that show the complete process of planting, picking and processing of herbs, to show international students the preciseness of the production of traditional Chinese medicine and strictness of quality control, so that they can know more about traditional Chinese medicine and pay more interest in it.3 China’s obsession with hot waterAnswer 1: Yes, I like drinking hot water. In China drinking hot water is not just a personal preference. Firstly, it is an effective way to keep warm, thus helping people alleviate period pain and stomachache. Secondly, Chinese people believe boiling water is an easy way to kill most of the harmful bacteria. Thirdly, according to the traditional Chinese medicine, our body need to keep a balance between yin and yang. Drinking warm water can nourish the yang in one’s body, which is like the powerhouse of your body.In contrast, Americans prefer cold or even ice water. In American restaurants, water is typically served in glasses full of ice cubes.Answer 2:No, I don’t like drinking hot water, unless I am sick and need some warmth for recovery. I believe the preference of drinking hot water is more like a tradition. As we have access to purified tap water in the modern society, there is no need to boil water for health reasons. Choosing a cup of cold water can be a good choice, especially in the hot summer.。
大学英语读写教程第1册unit8阅读理解三篇
unit 8Part 1 Reading comprehensionDirections: Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Manners evolved differently in different cultures. In earlier times there was a tendency for manners to become increasingly formal, and this was often viewed as progress. In the 18th and 19th centuries having good manners was seen as an important part of one's education and social class, and it was necessary to be taken as a lady or a gentleman to get ahead in the world.In the 20th and 21st centuries, manners have gradually become more relaxed and informal. The hosting of dinners and other social gatherings are no longer the exclusive privilege of the wealthy elite (精英), and private clubs are being gradually replaced by more open meeting places. So the manners of the salon (沙龙) are gradually combining with the manners of the pub. Clothing is a good indication of the changes in manners, as can be seen in the following examples.It is surprising that the wearing of hats indoors by males is once again becoming acceptable. Students in North America often wear baseball caps to class. In many countries the wearing of hats indoors by males was once acceptable even in very polite society, but over the years this became considered as a lower-class behavior and was thus discouraged in both the middle and upper classes. The young people who wear hats indoors do not realize they are actually restarting a very old cultural tradition.A comparable development for females is the wearing of jeans. Many females now wear jeans on a daily basis, either at home or at work. Some see this as a symbolic declaration that they are now modern women, not girls or ladies. Some girls, like boys, wear baseball caps both indoors and outdoors.Sneakers and shorts are now acceptable for either males orfemales in a variety of non-athletic situations. Some companies have rules requiring informal dress such as jeans or sneakers on Fridays (called "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday"), and others permit it almost all the time. In these companies, and many others, it is acceptable to call the bosses by their first names.1.What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Changes of manners over time.B. Formal manners in the earlier times.C. Different manners in different cultures.D. Development of manners in different classes.2.In the 20th and 21st centuries, _________.A. manners are not as formal as in the pastB. manners in a pub are getting more and more formalC. proper clothing is a good indication of good mannersD. rich people no longer behave formally in socialgatherings3.According to the passage, "the manners of the salon" inparagraph 2 most likely refers to __________.A. Formal manners of drinking.B. Informal manners of drinking.C. Formal manners at social gatherings.D. Informal manners at social gatherings.4.According to the passage, nowadays wearing a hat indoorscan actually be viewed as _________.A. a revolutionB. social progressC. a worsening situationD. a return to the old tradition5.According to the author, today wearing hats indoors, andwearing jeans at work mainly indicate that _________.A. women are no longer inferior to menB. people no longer pay attention to dressing detailsC. people are getting more relaxed in terms of mannersD. some companies have lower requirements for theiremployeesQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Between the 1950s and the early 1980s, the evolving role of Japanese women had been most obvious in their attitudes toward marriage and the family system. There had been a trend away from arranged marriages. Many young women admitted that they took paid employment mostly in order to find a husband on their own. In spite of this and other influences a 1982 figure showed that almost 40 percent of marriages were still arranged. This figure was, however, half the size of a 1955 survey which showed that almost 81 percent of marriages were arranged. Once married, many women in the early 1980s continued to work, and increasingly they returned to work after childbirth, something which was hard to imagine a generation before. A woman's role in the family was evolving as well, becoming more and more dominant.Women had sought more personal satisfaction from their lives since 1950s. In the beginning of the1980s, during their lives before marriage women made up an almost free-wheeling (随心所欲) part of Japanese society. A survey of new brides reported that only 12 percent expected their marriage to be happy. At that time, Japanese still regarded marriage not as the peak of a romance but as a duty that was primarily social and practical in significance. As a result, Japanese women took full advantage of their years before marriage. Most women remained at home while working, living with their family in a sort of extended dependency. Japanese women, however, must be careful to maintain themselves within acceptable social standards, one woman being told, "If you act like that, youwill not be wanted as a bride."Once married a Japanese women found herself in a role opposite of the perceived sex roles in Japan –the female was dominant in the house. The relationship between the partners of a Japanese marriage clearly showed the evolving role of women. It must be remembered that a short one hundred years ago the attitude toward women was that "In everything she must obey her husband". By the early 1980s the role of women had changed: A Japanese woman had almost unquestioned power within the family system of today's Japan.6.What is the passage mainly about?A. Changes in the role of Japanese women.B. Changes in the styles of Japanese marriages.C. Japanese women's struggle for independence.D. Japanese women's increased power in their families.7.What did the author say about Japanese women before the1950s?A. Many women continued to work after marriage.B. A majority of women had their marriages arranged.C. Only less than half of women had arranged marriages.D. Many women went to work in order to find a husband.8.What was marriage in many Japanese people's eyes in theearly 1980s?A. It was the end of their romance.B. It was the beginning of a happy life.C. It was a social responsibility one has to fulfill.D. It was the highest point of their romanticrelationship.9.Which of the following was the main cause for mostJapanese women in the early 1980s to take full advantage of their years before marriage?A. They believed they would no longer have a happy lifeafter marriage.B. They knew they could not be as dominant as before aftergetting married.C. They should not go beyond acceptable social standardsafter marriage.D. They would no longer have time to work after marriage.10. "The perceived sex roles" in the last paragraph mostprobably refers to the fact that the wife_________.A. had to obey the husband in the familyB. had to support the husband and his familyC. could make decisions on everything in the familyD. could question some of the husbands' decisionsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. Leadership is the ability of a person to guide people in a group toward achieving a task at hand. I believe that leaders are made; they are not born and a person can always be a good leader if he makes full use of the following list of leadership strengths.Firstly, task execution (实施) is one of the most important leadership strengths. Coming up with a brilliant idea and executing that idea are two completely different things. Bringing an idea to life is a lot easier said than done. An idea really comes to life only when it is executed to perfection. For this, you need to be a team player. There is a fine line between having followers that follow you out of respect and having followers that follow you because they have no choice. Any kind of disagreement in the team will affect the end result and the efficiency of performing the task.Secondly, before you go on to put any kind of strategy into place, you need to understand and envision what you wish to achieve. This is important because the expectations of the entire group will ride on your shoulders. Thus, one of theimportant leadership strengths is to have a very clear vision about how to go about a task at hand, keeping the long-term and short-term goals and consequences in mind. You need to be practical yet optimistic about the possibilities involved in any task and must take into consideration all the risks involved.Thirdly, being the leader does not mean that you own the people you work with. Many people tend to get carried away and do not listen to their team members. This can go against them as the team members then tend to lose respect for their leader. You need to genuinely listen to your team members because they are the only ones that will tell you if you go wrong at any point of time. Furthermore, listening will make sure that you connect with your team members on a personal level, which will improve the performance of your team greatly.11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passageas one of the leadership strengths?A. Lending an ear to team members.B. Performing a task in a perfect way.C. Accepting mistakes with good grace.D. Planning for the future with a clear goal.12. According to Paragraph 2, a good leader should___________.A. lead his followers with absolute authorityB. make his followers follow him out of respectC. be able to find out who is a true follower in the teamD. focus on creating new ideas instead of executing them13. What does "envision" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?A. To remain optimistic about future results.B. To focus all his attention on long-term goals.C. To meet the expectations of the entire team members.D. To forecast the possible achievements andconsequences.14. Which of the following should be avoided as a good leader?A. Holding a realistic attitude.B. Considering short-term goals.C. Thinking about the bad results of a plan.D. Ignoring disagreement from his team members.15. What is the author's attitude about becoming a goodleader?A. You can be a good leader if you have talents.B. You can be a good leader if you have a good team.C.
