现代大学英语精读5 重点paraphrase+单词总结
Lesson 1Paraphrase1...when I suggested that this behavior might be grounds for sending the student on a brief vacation. (Para 14)One student had some radical comments on the author's class and the author got a little bit angry so that he suggested the school should suspend the student's schooling. But the dean of students thought the author was just too annoyed.The story the speaker tells the audience here is hilarious, but not to be taken seriously. In the United States, university students do write about their professors on their blogs—and write evaluations of their courses, critiquing their professors' teaching skills. So a student could have criticized the speaker for teaching a boring class and the speaker might defend himself by saying that he had a cold. But the story is basically all fantasy. The speaker's serious point may be that students expect professors to entertain them; the professors who are good entertainers receive high evaluations, but the criterion is superficial. Less flashy teachers who think deeply can be the ones from whom the students learn the most.2.Black limousines pulled up in front of his office and disgorged decorously suited negotiators. (Para.16)These were obviously officials from that country's embassy sent to negotiate with the professor about this case. The whole thing had become a tough diplomatic issue.3. Did my pal fold? Nope, he's not the type. But he did not enjoy the process. (Para.16)Did my friend back down? No, he is not the type of person who will easily give up his principles under pressure. But he did not like the experience he had to endure. This again is an interesting anecdote, but not a very good example, because the student involved is too special.4. The idea that a university education really should have no substantial content, should not be about what John Keats was disposed to call Soul-making, is one that you might think professors and university presidents would be discreet about. (Para. 19)Professors and presidents do not think the content of the courses really matters much, because they are soon forgotten anyway. It shouldn't be about soul-making either. The speaker is surprised that professors and presidents are actually by and large quite frank about what they think are the aims of education. They do not hide their views because they do not feel embarrassed.soul-making: moral cultivation, character-building, and intellectual developmentdiscreet: careful about keeping/preventing something from being known or noticed by many people 言语谨慎的，说话小心不让人抓辫子的5. …and common sense is something to respect, though not quite—peace unto the formidable Burke—to revere. (Para. 28)常识是应该尊重的东西，但不一定崇拜希望其令人钦佩的伯克先生别生气。

He was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. this speech, delivered in 1967, in more on the side of reasoning and persuasion and less on emotional appeal.

Lead-in : Globalization has become one of those words with the highest frequency of appearance but at the same time it is also a most controversial issue in terms of content, implication and consequence. Since the early 1990s, globalization has developed rapidly and brought great changes to the world. However, groups of people for various reasons oppose globalization and point to the negative effects of globalization. So when we face an article of such an important and sensitive issue, we are apt to ask:What is the author’s attitude towards globalization? What makes her adopt such an attitude? How does she present her argument?Part II. Detailed study of the textPart III. Structure of the textPart i (para 1—3) Globalization is a reality but it is not something complietly new.

Background information:Virginia Woolf is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of modernism as well as one of the pioneers of women’s liberation from patriarchy. She is known for her experimentation and innovation in novel writing. In her novel, emphasis is on the psychological realm of her characters and the moment-by-moment experience of living, which are depicted by the techniques of interior monologue and stream of consciousness. In this essay, Virginia Woolf gives a clear and convincing presentation of the obstacles facing professional women.Part II. Detailed study of the textPart III. General analysis of the textPara 1: In the profession of literature, the author finds that there are fewer experiences peculiar to women than in other profession because many women writers before her have made the road smooth.Para 2: the author responds to the host’s suggestion that she should tell the audience something about her own professional experiences. So she now tells her own story –how she became a book reviewer when she was a girl.Para 3.the speaker focuses on the first obstacle to becoming a professional women writer. She uses a figure of speech “killing the Angel in the House” in describing her determination to get rid of the conventional role of women in her writing.Para 4. after the Angel was dead, the question which remains to be answered is “what is a woman?” it is a transitional link between the quthor’s first and second experience.Paragraph 5. In this paragraph the author talks about her second experience in her profession of literature. As a novelist, she wished to remain "as unconscious as possible" so that nothing might disturb or disquiet the imagination. But she was facedwith the conflict between her own approach to art and the conventional approach expected of her by male critics. She believed that sex-consciousness was a great hindrance to women's writing. To illustrate this point, she employs a second figure of speech, "the image of a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake."Para 6. This paragraph sums up the author's two experiences, pointing out that the second obstacle is more difficult to overcome than the first. Women have many prejudices to overcome in the profession of literature and especially in new professions that women are entering.Para.7. In this last paragraph Woolf concludes her speech by raising some important questions concerning the new role of women and the new relationship between men and women.Part IV.

General introduction:The author deals with recent developments in the search for alien organisms. Hediscusses various arguments about alien civilization. He does not think that such belief and search is irrational or even crazy. He writes that most people with such belief “operate from the same instinct, which is to know the truth about the universe”. At the same time he maintains a scientific attitude, pointing out that although there are many persuasive arguments, there is still no hard evidence to prove the existence of alien life. Yet he does not stop there. He further points out that since the world we live in—the only inhabitable world in the universe so far—is still far from perfect, people in the world need to direct more energy to making it better.

Background Information:1. about the author2. about the articlePart II. Detailed study of the textPart III. Analysis of the text:Para 1. From this opening paragraph we readers can learn a number of important things:(l) By saying "It goes a long way back, some twenty years," the author tells us that the story took place in the past.(2) The "I' here is the narrator, not the author, of the story, and the author is using the first-person narration in telling the story. As we read On, we will find this narrator is also the main character, the protagonist, of the story.(3) Words like "I was looking for myself" and "I am nobody but myself" point out the central theme of the novel--searching for self-identity.Para. 2 This paragraph tells us a bit about the historical background against place. It also introduces a new character--the narrator's grandfather. On his deathbed, he said something that alarmed and puzzled the whole family.Para 3 This paragraph is about the tremendous effect of the grandfather's words upon the narrator, Those words became a constant puzzle for him. As the old man said these words ironically, the boy couldn't understand him. Although the grandfather did not appear in the battle royal scene or any other events in the rest of the book, his words haunted the narrator at every important moment in his life.Para 4 It tells us about the setting of the battle royal. The narrator was to give his speech at a smoker in a leading hotel in the town. The time is round 1950, the place is a hotel in a Southern town, and the occasion is a gathering of the leading white men of the town. Bearing these in mind will help us readers understand why things happened that way and what was the meaning of all this.Para. 5 Besides giving more details about the place, this paragraph introduces the people involved in the incident the town's big shots, who were "wolfing down the buffet food, drinking beer and whisky and smoking black cigars," and the other black boys who were to take part, who were "tough guys".Para 6 to 9 The main body of the battle royal incident is from Paragraph 4 to paragraph 9. It can be further divided into 4 subsections: the naked white girl's dance; the fight itself; the grabbing for the prize money; the narrator's speech. Paragraphs 6 to 9 form the first subsection in which the author describes the white girl's dance.Paras. 10--28 They form the second subsection of the battle royal incident violent and brutal fight itself. Pay attention to the use of specific words narration realistic and vivid.Paras. 29--46 They describe how the white men further humiliated the black boys even after the battle royal was over. Instead of giving the money the boys were supposed to get for their performance, the white men made fun of them by making them scramble for the money on an electrified rug. This part adds to the general chaos of the whole scene.Para 47--90 They form the last subsection of the whole battle royal incident. In this part the narrator finally got his chance to deliver his well-prepared speech. However, in the middle of his speech, he made a mistake, but everything went well in the end and he was given an award--a scholarship for college.Para. 91—94 They bring the story to a final end. The narrator was overjoyed with his triumph, and that night he dreamed of his grandfather and awoke with the old man’s laughter rining in his ears.Part IV. Complete the exercise in the textPart V.

D. in physics at Harvard, he spent time at the institute for advanced study in Princeton and at the National Science Foundation. He taught physics for 5years at New York University and then at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey.But Jeremy Bernstein has also spent more than 30 years on the staff of The New Yorker magazine, writing mostly about physics, computers, and other topics in physical science. He moves as comfortably among sentences and paragraphs as among equations.Part II. Detailed study of the text:Part III. Questions about the article1. Oppenteimer is called “ Father of the Atomic Bomb” and had been in charge of the Los Alamas nuclear laboratory for many years. Yet the author considers him as merely very good. Do you think the author is right and fair in relegating Oppenheimer to the merely very good?2. Do you think it is right to say to be highly focused or not is the cause separating the great ones from the merely very good? What is your view?3. How does the author manage to bring the people he wants to compare into the article?Oppenheimer’s anecdote: Oppenheimer and dirac meetingGottingen, talking about poetry and physicsHis decision to go to the conferenceSpender’s being at the conference—Spender’s obsession with Auden—great versus merely very good.4.How does the author develop the article?He uses the 1981 conference as the benchmark and goes back to earlier times and in the last two paragraphs returns the scene to the time of writing. This technique of montage is used largely in cinema.For example:The 1981 conference and the author’s indecision—(flashback to 1925—1927) earlier life of Oppenheimer and his relations with Dirac—(back to 1981) the author’s decision: Spender and Auden—(flashback)Spender and Oppenheimer(1956)—(1958)Oppenheimer, Dirac and the author—(back to 1981) meeting with Spender—(bringing the scene to 1996) concluding remarks.Lesson NineThe Way to Rainy MountainTeaching aims: 1. fully understand the article2. grasp the rhetorical device in the textTeaching difficulties: how to identify the rhetorical device in the sentence and understand theimplication for some sentencesTime distribution: eight periodsTeaching method: students-centeredTeaching procedures:Part I. About the AuthorN. Scott Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1934. Momaday belongs to a generation of American Indians born when most tribal communities had long ceased to exist as vital social organizations. His Kiowa ancestors shared with other Plains Indians the horrors of disease, military defeat, and cultural and religious deprivation in the 19th century. Their only chance of survival was to adapt themselves to new circumstances. Momaday’s grandfather, for example, adjusted to changing conditions by taking up farming, a decision pressed upon him by the General Allotment Act of 1887.Part II. Detailed study of the textPart III. The analysis of the textPara 1. the opening paragraph of the essay is a lyrical description of the author’s ancestral land, which plays a key role in his exploration of his Kiowa identity.Para 2. the author explains his purpose of his visit to Rainy Mountain: to be at his grandmother’s grave.Para 3. it sums up the history of the Kiowas as a Plains Native culture—the golden time and the decline in their history.Para 4. it is about how the Kiowas migrated from western Montana and how the migration transformed the Kiowas.Para 5. the author returns to his grandmother again. Since she is the immediate reason for him to come to Rainy Mountain, she is the link between the author and his ancestors.Para 6. The Kiowas felt a sense of confinement in Yellowstone, Montana.Para 7. this paragraph is a depiction of the landscape which they came upon when they got out of the highlands in Montana.Para 8. in this para the author describes Devil’s Tower and tells the Kiowas’s legend about it.Para 9. the author tells about the last days of the Sun Dance culture by using his grandmother as a witness.Para 10. for the first time, the author concentrates only on his grandmother’s story rather than mixing it with the history of the whole Kiowa tribe. Also for the first time, the author shifts the focus of depicting the lanscape to describing a person —his grandmother Aho as an old woman.Para 11—12 paragraph 11 is about the old houses at Rainy Mountain, which the author’s grandmother and other Kiowas used to live in, but which are now empty. This paragraph serves as a transition between the depiction of Grandma Aho and the reunion at her house.Para 11 and 12 describe the reunions that were once held at the grandmother’s house when the author was a child. We can see the author accepts change and loss as facts of life. He neither denies nor defies them. Imagination helps him strike a balance between them. So, after depicting his dead grandmother’s old house, he brings to life the joy and activity that once filled it. As a child Momaday took part in those events. By re-creating those scenes, he reminds himself of who he is.Part IV. Complete the exercise of the text。
大学英语精读5课后翻译答案（第三版）
大学英语精读5课后翻译答案（第三版）Unit 1 Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 2 1. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and values are no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations,it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you st arted on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try t o learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeeda leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us. Unit 6 One day, we received an invitation to my father’s birthday party. Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for a reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just told her in the simplest terms that there would never be a reconciliation. My refusal obviously made Jenny very upset, but being a rational woman she didn’t quarrel with me. She just tried hard to persuade me. But this only filled me with fury, thinking that Jenny was just upsetting me deliberately. I must have gone out of my mind for I did something for which I would never forgive myself --- I yelled at Jenny and hurled the phone at her. But the instant I did it I regretted. And when I turned to look at her, she was already gone.I went out and searched everywhere but Jenny was nowhere to be found. I was scared to death, not knowing what to do next. Just as I was about to give up, I caught sight of her sitting in front of our hou se. I went up to her and said, “Jenny, I’m sorry…” but she cut off my apology and said, “Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.。

现代大学英语精读 第5册 Love is a fallacy
"Maybe love is like luck. You have to go all the way to find it.“
Robert Mitchum
"Love is like war: Easy to begin but hard to end."
Some meanings of authentic love
Love means that I know the person I love. I’m aware of the many sides of the other person—not just the beautiful side but also the limitations, inconsistencies and flaws.
Love Quotes
Love comes in a second, and goes at the same speed. If you judge people, you have no time to love them. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep it is to give it wings. The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved.

Before his two Dobie books, Shulman had already written four other successful novels:

I had only one life, unless I had secret knowledge that we can all be reborn again and again (that reincarnation is not just nonsense)and therefore I can go to college many times. My father of course was totally contemptuous of the whole idea of reincarnation.3.They want the certificate that will give them access to Wall Street, or entrance into law or medical or business school.They want the diploma/credentials which will enable them to get well-paid jobs on Wall Street or go to law schools, medical schools, or business schools to become lawyers, doctors, and business executives.4.The work they are compelled to do to advance--get tenure, promotion, raises, outside offers--is , broadly speaking, scholarly work.In order to be successful, they have to work hard. They must earn the right to keep their job as a professor for as long as they like, keep publishing if they do not want to perish, get higher and higher salaries, and get offers from outside their universities to add to their prestige. And all this can be broadly called scholarly work.5. The professor saves his energies for the profession, while the student saves his for friends, social life, volunteer work, making connections, and getting in position to clasp hands on the true grail, the first job.The professor saves his energies for his own scholarly work while the student saves his energies for his friends, socializing, volunteer work, building a network of people who might be useful for his career, and trying in every possible way to obtain an ideal job upon graduation, which is really the most important goal for him. The speaker is implying that neither the professor nor the student is giving his/her main attention to teaching and learning. 6....the battle of waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton.Eton, as we know is a public (that is, private) school for the British aristocracy. It educates the men who become Britain’s leaders; the ties formed there areall-important as are the unspoken rules you learn. So what Wellington is saying here is that it was this small and cohesive class and its values that defeated Napoleon.7.The quest at the center of a liberal arts education is not a luxury quest;it's a necessity quest.What students are looking for from a liberal arts education is not a luxury,but a necessity. It is not something you could do with, but something you absolutely can‟t do without.8.You may not have read yourself right, and college is the place where you can find out whether you have or not. The reason to read Blake and Dickinson and Freud and Dickens is not to become more cultivated, or more articulate, or to be someone who, at a cocktail party, is never embarrassed.You may be…someone who is never embarrassed in social gatherings because you are so well-read and so knowledgeable (or who can embarrass others by making them appear ignorant).9.For somehow your predecessors are more yourself than you are.For some reason, you find that these writers who lived a long time ago seem to know more about you than you do yourself.10.In reading,I continue to look for one thing—to be influenced,to learn something new,to be thrown off my course and onto another,better way.In reading, I continue to look for one thing. I hope that I can find new ideas and new perspectives that will make me change the course of my life and put me on a new and better road.英翻汉1.只是，聪明的人都习惯于琢磨如何才能顺利谋生的问题。

Martin Luther King Speech - Where do we go from hereSouthern Christian Leadership ConferenceAtlanta, Georgia16 August 1967Now, in order to answer the question, "Where do we go from here?" which is our theme, we must first honestly recognize where we are now. When the Constitution was written, a strange formula to determine taxes and representation declared that the Negro was 60 percent of a person. Today another curious formula seems to declare he is 50 percent of a person. Of the good things in life, the Negro has approximately one half those of whites. Of the bad things of life, he has twice those of whites. Thus half of all Negroes live in substandard housing. And Negroes have half the income of whites. When we view the negative experiences of life, the Negro has a double share. There are twice as many unemployed. The rate of infant mortality among Negroes is double that of whites and there are twice as many Negroes dying in Vietnam as whites in proportion to their size in the population.2 In other spheres, the figures are equally alarming. In elementary schools, Negroes lag one to three years behind whites, and their segregated schools receive substantially less money per student than the white schools. One twentieth as many Negroes as whites attend college. Of employed Negroes, 75 percent hold menial(卑贱的)jobs.3 This is where we are. Where do we go from here? First, we must massively assert our dignity and worth. We must stand up amidst(尽管存在…情况) a system that still oppresses us and develop an unassailable(攻不破的) and majestic sense of values. We must no longer be ashamed of being black. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.Depiction描写叙述of Blackness and Negro Contributions4 Even semantics have conspired to make that which is black seem ugly and degrading. In Roget's Thesaurus(同义词词典) there are 120 synonyms for blackness and at least 60 of them are offensive, as for example, blot(污渍), soot(煤烟),( grim)糟糕的, devil(魔鬼) and foul. And there are some 134 synonyms for whiteness and all are favorable, expressed in such words as purity, cleanliness, chastity(贞洁淳朴) and innocence. A white lie is better than a black lie. The most degenerate(堕落的) member of a family is a "black sheep.(害群之马)" Ossie Davis has suggested that maybe the English language should be reconstructed so that teachers will not be forced to teach the Negro child 60 ways to despise(鄙视) himself, and thereby perpetuate使永存his false sense of inferiority, and the white child 134 ways to adore himself, and thereby perpetuate his false sense of superiority.5 The tendency to ignore the Negro's contribution to American life and to( strip him of剥夺) his personhood(人格), is as old as the earliest history hooks and as contemporary as the morning's newspaper. To upset this cultural homicide(杀人行为), the Negro must rise up(起义) with an affirmation(主张) of his own Olympian(庄严的)manhood(人格). Any movement for the Negro's freedom that overlooks(忽视) this necessity is only waiting to be buried. As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be free. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery. No Lincolnian(林肯作风的) Emancipation(解放) Proclamation (宣告)or Johnsonian Civil Rights Bill can totally bring thiskind of freedom. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being(他自己的生存) and signs with the pen and ink of assertive(坚定而自信的)manhood his own Emancipation Proclamation. And, with a spirit straining(变形) toward true self-esteem, the Negro must boldly throw off the manacles(手铐)of self-abnegation(自欺欺人) and say to himself and to the world, "I am somebody. I am a person. I am a man with dignity and honor. I have a rich and noble history. How painful and exploited（剥削的）that history has been. Yes, I was a slave through my foreparents and I am not ashamed of that. I'm ashamed of the people who were so sinful to make me a slave." Yes, we must stand up and say, "I'm black and I'm beautiful," and this self-affirmation is the black man's need, made compelling（必须承认的）by the white man's crimes against him.6 Another basic challenge is to discover how to organize our strength in terms of economic and political power. No one can deny that the Negro is in dire need of（急需）this kind of legitimate power. Indeed, one of the great problems that the Negro confronts is his lack of power. From old plantations（种植园）of the South to newer ghettos（贫民区）of the North, the Negro has been confined to a life of voicelessness沉默and powerlessness. Stripped of the right to make decisions concerning his life and destiny命运he has been subject to the authoritarian（专制独裁者）and sometimes whimsical（异想天开的）decisions of this white power structure. The plantation and ghetto were created by those who had power. both to confine those who had no power and to perpetuate their powerlessness. The problem of transforming the ghetto, therefore, is a problem of power confrontation（对抗）of the forces of power demanding change and the forces of power dedicated to the preserving of the status quo. Now power properly understood is nothing but the ability to achieve purpose. It is the strength required to bring about social, political and economic change. Walter Reuther defined power one day. He said, "Power is the ability of a labor union like the U.A.W. to make the most powerful corporation in the world, General Motors, say 'Yes' when it wants to say 'No.' That's power."7 Now a lot of us are preachers（说教者）, and all of us have our moral convictions and concerns, and so often have problems with power. There is nothing wrong with power if power is used correctly. You see, what happened is that some of our philosophers got off base. And one of the great problems of history is that the concepts of love and power have usually been contrasted as opposites - polar opposite that love is identified with a resignation（顺从）of power, and power with a denial of love.8 It was this misinterpretation that caused Nietzsche尼采, who was a philosopher of the will to power, to reject the Christian concept of love. It was this same misinterpretation which induced Christian theologians （神学家）to reject the Nietzschean philosophy of the will to power in the name of the Christian idea of love. Now, we've got to get this thing right. What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless（轻率鲁莽的）and abusive（攻击性的）, and love without power is sentimental and anemic（贫血的）. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love. And this is what we must see as we move on. What has happened is that we have had it wrong and confused in our own country, and this has led Negro Americans in the past to seek their goals through power devoid（缺乏）of love and conscience.9 This is leading a few extremists today to advocate for Negroes the same destructive and conscienceless power that they have justly abhorred（厌恶）in whites. It is precisely this collision of immoral power with powerless morality which constitutes the major crisis of our times. ↑political power10 We must develop a program that will drive the nation to a guaranteed annual income. Now, early in this century this proposal would have been greeted with ridicule and denunciation（谴责）, as destructive of initiative and responsibility. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual's ability and talents. And, in the thinking of that day, the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious（勤劳的）habits and moral fiber. We've come a long way in our understanding of human motivation and of the blind operation of our economic system. Now we realize that dislocations（脱位混乱）in the market operations of our economy and the prevalence of discrimination thrust people into（投身于）idleness（闲散）and bind them in constant or frequent unemployment against their will. Today the poor are less often dismissed, I hope, from our consciences by being branded as inferior or incompetent. We also know that no matter how dynamically the economy develops and expands, it does not eliminate all poverty.11 The problem indicates that our emphasis must be twofold. We must create full employment or we must create incomes. People must be made consumers by one method or the other. Once they are placed in this position we need to be concerned that the potential of the individual is not wasted. New forms of work that enhance the social good will have to be devised for those for whom traditional jobs are not available. In I879 Henry George anticipated （预料，预见）this state of affairs when he wrote in Progress and Poverty:12 The fact is that the work which improves the condition of mankind, the work which extends knowledge and increases power and enriches literature and elevates thought, is not done to secure a living. It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster(工头), or by animal necessity. It is the work of men who somehow find a form of work that brings a security for its own sake and a state of society where want(缺乏) is abolished.13 Work of this sort could be enormously increased, and we are likely to find that the problems of housing and education, instead of preceding the elimination of poverty, will themselves be affected if poverty is first abolished. The poor transformed into purchasers will do a great deal on their own(靠自己的力量) to alter housing decay. Negroes who have a double disability will have a greater effect on discrimination when they have the additional weapon of cash to use in their struggle.14 Beyond these advantages, a host of(大量的)positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life are in his own hands, when he has the means to seek self-improvement(自我修养). Personal conflicts among husbands, wives and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated .15 Now our country can do this. John Kenneth Galbraith said that a guaranteed annual income could be done for about twenty billion dollars a year. And I say to you today, that if our nation can spend thirty-five billion dollars a year to fight an unjust, evil war in Vietnam, and twenty billion dollars to put a man on the moon, it can spend billions of dollars to put God's children on their own two feet right here on earth.16 Now, let me say briefly that we must reaffirm our commitment to nonviolence. I want to stress this. The futility(无益无用) of violence in the struggle for racial justice has been tragically etched(腐蚀) in all the recent Negro riots. Yesterday, I tried to analyze the riots and deal with their causes. Today I want to give the other side. There is certainly something painfully sad about a riot. One sees screaming youngsters and angry adults fighting hopelessly and aimlessly againstimpossible odds. And deep down(事实上) within them, you can even see a desire for self-destruction自杀, a kind of suicidal longing.17 Occasionally Negroes contend(主张) that the 1965 Watts riot and the other riots in various cities represented effective civil rights action. But those who express this view always end up with stumbling(出错的) words when asked what concrete gains have been won as a result. At best, the riots have produced a little additional antipoverty money allotted(分配摊派) by frightened government officials, and a few water-sprinklers to cool the children of the ghettos. It is something like improving the food in the prison while the people remain securely incarcerated(监禁) behind bars. Nowhere have the riots won any concrete improvement such as have the organized protest demonstrations. When one tries to pin down迫使作出决定advocates of violence as to what acts would be effective, the answers are blatantly(看穿了地) illogical. Sometimes they talk of overthrowing(推翻) racist state and local governments and they talk about guerrilla warfare. They fail to see that no internal revolution has ever succeeded in overthrowing a government by violence unless the government had already lost the allegiance(拥护) and effective control of its armed forces. Anyone in his right mind knows that this will not happen in the United States. In a violent racial situation, the power structure has the local police, the state troopers(骑兵), the National Guard(国民警卫军、后备役)and, finally, the Army to call on—all of which are predominantly white. Furthermore, few if any violent revolutions have been successful unless the violent minority had the sympathy and support of the nonresistant majority. Castro may have had only a few Cubans actually fighting with him up in the hills, but he could never have overthrown the Batista regime(政权) unless he had the sympathy of the vast majority of Cuban people.18 It is perfectly clear that a violent revolution on the part of American blacks would find no sympathy and support from the white population and very little from the majority of the Negroes themselves. This is no time for romantic illusions and empty philosophical debates about freedom. This is a time for action. What is needed is a strategy for change, a tactical program that will bring the Negro into the mainstream of American life as quickly as possible. So far, this has only been offered by the nonviolent movement. Without recognizing this we will end up with solutions that don't solve, answers that don't answer and explanations that don't explain.19 And so I say to you today that I still stand by nonviolence. And I am still convinced that it is the most potent(威力大的)weapon available to the Negro in his struggle for justice in this country. And the other thing is that I am concerned about a better world. I'm concerned about justice. I'm concerned about brotherhood. I'm concerned about truth. And when one is concerned about these, he can never advocate violence. For through violence you may murder a murderer but you can't murder. Through violence you may murder a liar but you can't establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that.20 And I say to you, I have also decided to stick to love. For I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind's problems. And I'm going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn't popular to talk about it in some circles today. I'm not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love, I'm talking about a strong, demanding love. And I have seen too much hate. I've seen too much hate on the faces of sheriffs(县司法长官) in the South. I've seen hate on the faces of too many Klansmen and too many White Citizens (Councilors议员) in the South to want to hate myself, because every time I see it, I know that it does something to their faces and their personalities and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love. Ifyou are seeking the highest good(善,) I think you can find it through love. And the beautiful thing is that we are moving against wrong when we do it, because John was right, God is love. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.21 I want to say to you as I move to my conclusion, as we talk about "Where do we go from here," that we honestly face the fact that the Movement must address itself to the question of restructuring the whole of American society. There are forty million poor people here. And one day we must ask the question, "Why are there forty million poor people in America?" And when you begin to ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question, you begin to question the capitalistic economy. And I'm simply saying that more and more, we've got to begin to ask questions about the whole society. We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's market place. But one day we must come to see that an edifice(大建筑物)which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that questions must be raised. You see, my friends, when you deal with this, you begin to ask the question, "Who owns the oil?" You begin to ask the question, "Who owns the iron ore(铁矿石)?" You begin to ask the question, "Why is it that people have to pay water bills ina world that is two thirds water?" These are questions that must be asked.22 Now, when I say question the whole society, it means ultimately（从根本上）coming to see that the problem of racism（种族主义，种族歧视）, the problem of economic exploitation, and the problem of war are all tied together. These are the triple evils that are interrelated（相互联系）.23 If you will let me be a preacher just a little bit - One night, a juror（陪审员）came to Jesus and he wanted to know what he could do to be saved. Jesus didn't get bogged down in(陷入僵局中) the kind of isolated（孤立的，孤单的，单一的）approach（方式，道路）of what he shouldn't do. Jesus didn't say, "Now Nicodemus, you must stop lying." HE didn't say, "Nicodemus, you must stop cheating if you are doing that." He didn't say, "Nicodemus, you must not commit （致力于，犯---错）adultery（通奸）." He didn't say, "Nicodemus, now you must stop drinking liquor （烈酒）if you are doing that excessively（过分地，极端地，非常）." He said something altogether different, because Jesus realized something basic - that if a man will lie, he will steal. And if a man will steal, he will kill. So instead of just getting bogged down in one thing, Jesus looked at him and said, "Nicodemus, you must be born again."24 He said, in other words, "Your whole structure must be changed." A nation that will keep people in slavery for 244 years will "thingify" them - make them things. Therefore they will exploit（剥削）them, and poor people generally, economically. And a nation that will exploit economically will have to have foreign investments and everything else, and will have to use its military（军事的，军队的）might（强大力量，威信）to protect them. All of these problems are tied together. What I am saying today is that we must go from this convention（惯例，习俗，常规）and say, "America, you must be born again!"25 So, I conclude by saying again today that we have a task and let us go out with a "divine(上帝的,神的) dissatisfaction." Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds（教条）and an anemia（贫血症）of deeds（行动）. Let us be dissatisfied until the tragic（悲惨的，不幸的）walls that separate the outer city of wealth and comfort and the inner city of poverty and despair shall be crushed（压碎，碾碎）by the battering（猛击，打击）rams （破城锤）of the forces of justice. Let us be dissatisfied until those that live on the outskirts（郊区，边界）of hope are brought into the metropolis （大都市）of daily security. Let us bedissatisfied until slums（贫民窟）are cast into（把- -投入）the junk（废旧的）heaps（杂物堆）of history, and every family is living in a decent（像样的）sanitary（卫生的）home. Let us be dissatisfied until the dark yesterdays of segregated（种族隔离的）schools will be transformed into bright tomorrows of quality（优质的）, integrated（平等的，取消隔离的）education. Let us be dissatisfied until integration（取消隔离）is not seen as a problem but as an opportunity to participate in the beauty of diversity. Let us be dissatisfied until men and women, however black they may be, will be judged on the basis of the content of their character and not on the basis of the color of their skin. Let us be dissatisfied. Let us be dissatisfied until every state capitol（议会大厦）houses a governor who will do justly, who will love mercy and who will walk humbly with his God. Let us be dissatisfied until from every city hall, justice will roll down（倾盆而下）like waters and righteousness（正直）like a mighty（强大的）stream. Let us be dissatisfied until that day when the lion and the lamb（羔羊）shall lie down together. and every man will sit under his own vine and fig（无花果）tree and none shall be afraid. Let us be dissatisfied. And men will recognize that out of one blood God made all men to dwell（居住，栖息）upon the face of the earth. Let us be dissatisfied until that day when nobody will shout "White Power!" - when nobody will shout "Black Power!" - but everybody will talk about God's power and human power.26 I must confess, my friends, the road ahead will not always be smooth. There will still be rocky places of frustration and meandering(蜿蜒)的points of bewilderment. There will be inevitable setbacks here and there. There will be those moments when the buoyancy(恢复力) of hope will be transformed into the fatigue of despair. Our dreams will sometimes be shattered and our ethereal(轻飘的) hopes blasted. We may again with tear-drenched (湿透)eyes have to stand before the bier(棺材) of some courageous civil-rights worker whose life will be snuffed out(扼杀) by the dastardly acts of bloodthirsty mobs(嗜杀的暴徒). Difficult and painful as it is, we must walk on in the days ahead with an audacious (有冒险精神的)faith in the future. And as we continue our charted course, we may gain consolation in the words so nobly left by that great black bard who was also a great freedom fighter of yesterday, James Weldon Johnson:Stony the road we trod, 踏着崎岖的石路Bitter the chastening rod 领悟着惩戒木的苦涩Felt in the days 感受到昔日When hope unborn had died. 夭折的希望Yet with a steady beat, 依然坚定的步伐Have not our weary feet 没有阻碍我们疲惫的双脚Come to the place 踏上了For which our fathers sighed? 我们祖先悲叹的土地We have come over the way 我们已经走上That with tears hath been watered. 泪水浸湿的道路We have come treading our paths 我们已经踏上Through the blood of the slaughtered, 洒满先人鲜血的小径Out from the gloomy past, 走出阴郁的过去Till now we stand at last 我们终于站在Where the bright gleam 闪烁着光芒Of our bright star is cast. 耀眼的亮星下27 Let this affirmation be our ringing cry(集结号，响亮的口号). It will give us the courage to face the uncertainties of the future. It will give our tired feet new strength as we continue our forward stride（大步行走）toward the city of freedom. When our days become dreary（令人沮丧的）with low hovering （徘徊）clouds of despair, and when our nights become darker than a thousand midnights, let us remember that there is a creative force in this universe, working to pull down the gigantic（巨大的）mountains of evil, a power that is able to make a way out of no way and transform dark yesterdays into bright tomorrows. Let us realize the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice.28 Let us realize that William Cullen Bryant is right: "Truth crushed（压碎，压坏）to earth will rise again." Let us go out realizing that the Bible is right: "Be not deceived（欺骗）, God is not mocked （挖苦）. Whatsoever a man soweth（播种）, that shall he also reap（收获）." This is our hope for the future, and with this faith we will be able to sing in some not too distant tomorrow with a cosmic（无尽的苍穹）past tense, "We have overcome, we have overcome, deep in my heart, I did believe we would overcome."Good Move. People Move. Ideas Move. And Cultures ChangeToday we are in the throes of a worldwide reformation of cultures, a tectonic shift of habits and dreams called, in the curious argot of social scientists, "globalization." It's an inexact term for a wild assortment of changes in politics, business, health, entertainment. "Modern industry has established the world market. All old-established national industries are dislodged by new industries whose products are consumed, not only at home, but in every quarter of the globe. In place of the old wants we find new wants, requiring for their satisfaction the products of distant lands and climes." Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote this 150 years ago in The Communist Manifesto. Their statement now describes an ordinary fact of life. How people feel about this depends a great deal on where they live and how much money they have. Yet globalization, as one report stated, "is a reality, not a choice." Humans have been weaving commercial and cultural connections since before the first camel caravan ventured afield. In the 19th century the postal service, newspapers, transcontinental railroads, and great steam-powered ships wrought fundamental changes. Telegraph, telephone, radio, and television tied tighter and more intricate knots between individuals and the wider world. Now computers, the Internet, cellular phones, cable TV, and cheaper jet transportation have accelerated and complicated these connections. Still, the basic dynamic remains the same: Goods move. People move. Ideas move. And cultures change. The difference now is the speed and scope of these changes. It took television 13 years to acquire 50 million users; the Internet took only five. Not everyone is happy about this. Some Western social scientists and anthropologists, and not a few foreign politicians, believe that a sort of cultural cloning will result from what they regard as the "cultural assault" of McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Disney, Nike, MTV, and the English language itself—more than a fifth of all the people in the world now speak English to some degree. Whatever their backgrounds or agendas, these critics are convinced that Western—often equated with American—influences will flatten every cultural crease, producing, as one observer terms it, one big "McWorld." Popular factionssprout to exploit nationalist anxieties. In China, where xenophobia and economic ambition have often struggled for the upper hand, a recent book called China can say no became the best-seller by attacking what it considers the Chinese willingness to believe blindly in foreign things, advising Chinese travelers to not fly on a Boeing 777 and suggesting that Hollywood be burned, There are many Westerners among the denouncers of Western cultural influences, but James Watson, a Harvard anthropologist, isn't one of them. "The lives of Chinese villagers I know are infinitely better now than they were 30 years ago," he says. "China has become more openpartly because of the demands of ordinary people. They want to become part of the world—I would say globalism is the major force for democracy in China. People want refrigerators, stereos, CD players. I feel it's a moral obligation not to say: ‘Those people out there should continue to live in a museum while we will have showers that work.'" Westernization, I discovered over months of study and travel, is a phenomenon shot through with inconsistencies and populated by very strange bedfellows. Critics of Western culture blast Coke and Hollywood but not organ transplants and computers. Boosters of Western culture can point to increased efforts to preserve and protect the environment. Yet they make no mention of some less salubrious aspects of Western culture, such as cigarettes and automobiles, which, even as they are being eagerly adopted in the developing world, are having disastrous effects. Apparently westernization is not a straight road to hell, or to paradise either. But I also discovered that cultures are as resourceful, resilient, and unpredictable as the people who compose them. In Los Angeles, the ostensible fountainhead of world cultural degradation, I saw more diversity than I could ever have supposed—at Hollywood High School the student body represents 32 different languages. In Shanghai I found that the television show Sesame Street has been redesigned by Chinese educators to teach Chinese values and traditions. "We borrowed an American box," one told me, "and put Chinese content into it." In India, where there are more than 400 languages and several very strict religions, McDonald's serves mutton instead of beef and offers a vegetarian menu acceptable to even the most orthodox Hindu. The critical mass of teenagers—800 million in the world, the most there have ever been—with time and money to spend is one of the powerful engines of merging global cultures. Kids travel, they hang out, and above all they buy stuff. I'm sorry to say I failed to discover who was the first teenager to put his baseball cap on backward. Or the first one to copy him. But I do know that rap music, which sprang from the inner-city ghettos, began making big money only when rebellious white teenagers started buying it. But how can anyone predict what kids are going to want? Companies urgently need to know, so consultants have sprung up to forecast trends. They're called "cool hunters," and Amanda Freeman took me in hand one morning to explain how it works. Amanda, who is 22, works for a New York-based company called Youth Intelligence and has come to Los Angeles to conduct one of three annual surveys, whose results go to such clients as Sprint and MTV. She has shoulder-length brown hair and is wearing a knee-length brocade skirt and simple black wrap top. Amanda looks very cool to me, but she says no. "The funny thing about my work is that you don't have to be cool to do it," she says. "You just have to have the eye." We go to a smallish ‘50s-style diner in Los Feliz, a slightly seedy pocket east of Hollywood that has just become trendy. Then we wander through a few of the thrift shops. "If it's not going to be affordable," Amanda remarks, "it's never going to catch on." What trends does she see forming now? " the home is becoming more of a social place again. And travel's huge right now—you go to a place and bring stuff back." "It's really hard to be original these days, so the easiest way to come up with new stuff is to mix things that already exist. Fusion is going to be the huge term that。

It is showed by the statistics which are unofficial but frequently quoted concerning the Cambridge First Certificate examination that those students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are less likely to succeed in the exam. The latest research also indicates that native speaker of English knows at least 16,000 English words, when he has received education until he’s 18 or more. Unless you are proficient in a language such as Spanish or German, there is no shortcut to a large vocabulary: you have to depend on diligence and dedication. Of course, you can infer from context the meaning of some new words you come across in reading., but often you have to consult a dictionary to clarify the exact meanings. A practical method to learn new words may be reading widely, especially reading those interesting and exciting. Repeatedly, the same books is often beneficial to you: each time you read it you’ll learn different new words, and the familiar context also helps you to engrave these new words on your mind deeply. 第二课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（2u）(2010-07-20 14:15:35)标签：答案教育分类：大学英语V ocabulary work一1．Notions inhabited2．Denial3．Independent4．Realistic5．Pass for6．Consequent7．A handful of8．As opposed to9．Urged influential10．Eternal11．In search of12．Cherish13．Related14．Denial, was opposed to15．Haunted16．Discerned二1．Combat2．Capabilities3．Eternal4．Opposed to5．In search of6．Stake …on7．No wonder8．In the light of9．Discern10．Paralyzed 11．Crying out for 12．Awaken to 13．Consequent 14．Sensitive to三1．She showed a complete lack of interest in the subject under discussion.2．Now that she’s got a part-time job, she is financially independent of her family.3．As a charity, we provide food and shelterfor people in need, regardless of the reasons for their need.4．These stars are barely visible to the naked eyes.5．The depression that started in mid-1929 was a catastrophe of unprecedented dimensions for the United States.6．Even to this day, the hunger he suffered in his childhood still haunts him.7．Robert overcame his shyness which had formerly paralyzed him in Mary’s presence. 8．The fall in the cost of living is directly related to the drop in the oil price.四1.

As long as you try to learn from you failure instead of holding a negative view about yourself or identifying with failure, you are very likely to succeed in the future. Have you ever thought that those who have failed again and again are always the victims of bad self-image? They failed often because of not external reasons but internal reasons. Countless examples verify that if those people could be prevailed on to change their view and set up positive self-image, their performance would change miraculously. Success can come at any time, whenever you are thirty, forty or when it seems that you have failed all your life. Success in early years is sweet, but the late one is more tasty.第四课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（4u）(2010-07-20 15:01:33)标签：答案教育分类：大学英语V ocabulary work一1．Blessing2．Borders3．Childish 4．Desperation5．Mercy6．Signature7．Steadily8．Stand out9．Came over10．Broke his heart 11．Pay back12．Flung13．Consent14．Hold your tongue二1.

They have a special ability to think and analyze, and unlimited patience in observing and collecting date. However , not all scientific discoveries can be ascribed to abilities and patience; they usually connect closely with creative imagination. Of course, the leap of imagination is often the first step leading to discoveries. Moreover , scientists are famous for their honesty. They put a high premium on honesty, mainly because that honesty is cardinal to their career. Every theory they put forward has to be further tested. Every error and lie are sure to be found. So, if finding some evidence contradiction with their ideas, scientists modify even abandon their ideas, instead of concealing them. In this way, they accumulate an immense amount of knowledge, which can help us understand ourselves and surroundings better.分享第六课大学英语精读第五册课后习题答案（6u）(2010-07-20 15:53:05)标签：答案教育分类：大学英语V ocabulary work一1.

Jenny regarded it as my father’s actively reaching out to a reconciliation, so we should accept it.I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and preparing for the coming examinations at that time, hence I only used the simplest words to tell her no day to reconcile forever. My refusal apparently made Jenny depressed, but as a rational woman, she didn’t quarrel wit h me. She just tried to persuade me. But it only made me furious, thinking that Jenny made me upset deliberately. I must have been crazy them, because I did a thing for which I would never forgive myself-I shouted at Jenny and hurled the telephone at her. But once I threw it, I regretted.
