Lesson Eight50. However primitive and simple his method of work may be, by the very fact ofproduction, he has risen above the animal kingdom; rightly has he been defined as “the animal that produces”.-To whatever degree primitive and simple his method of work may be, because of the fact itself that man produces, he has developed to a much higher level than all the other animals; so man has been correctly and justifiably defined as the animal that makes and manufactures things.51. Work is also his liberator from nature, his creator as a social and independentbeing.-Work also sets man free from nature and makes him into a social being independent of nature.52. Whether we think of the beautiful paintings in the caves of Southern France, theornaments on weapons among primitive people, the statues and temples of Greece, the cathedrals of the Middle Ages, the chairs and tables made by skilled craftsmen, or the cultivation offlowers, trees or corn by peasants--all are expressions of the creative transformation of nature by man’s reason and skill.-Every kind of work (utilitarian and artistic), no matter when it was done or who did it, provides an example of man applying his intelligence and his skill to change nature creatively.53. There is no split of work and play, or work and culture.-The worker finds pleasure in his work and through work he also develops his mind. Therefore, pleasure and work go together and so does the cultural development of the worker and his work.54. Work became the chief factor in a system of “innerworldly asceticism,” an answerto man’s sense of aloneness and isolation.-Work became, according to Weber, the chief element in a system that preached an austere and self-denying way of life. Work was the only thing that soothed those who felt alone and isolated because of this ascetic life.55. Work has become alienated from the working person.-Work has been separated from the worker and the worker is not interested in it at all. Instead, he feels estranged from it or hostile to it.56. Work is a means of getting money, not in itself a meaningful human activity.-Work helps the worker to earn some money; except this it is not an activity with much significance.57. because a pay check is not enough to base one’s s elf-respect on.-because just earning some money is not enough for a worker to establish hisself-respect.58. …most industrial psychologists are mainly concernedwith the manipulation of theworker’s psyche.-Most industrial psychologists are mainly trying to manage and control the worker’s mind.59. It is going to pay off in cold dollars and cents to management,…-Better relations with the public will yield large profits to management.60. But this usefulness often serves only as a rationalization for the appeal to completepassivity and receptivity.-The fact that many gadgets are indeed useful is often used by advertisers as a mere “high-minded” cover for the real, vulgar appeal to idleness and submissiveness.61. …he has a feeling of fraudulency about his product and a secret contempt for it.-The businessman gets the knowledge that the quality of his product doesn’t match what it should be. Conscious of the deception involved, he despises the goods he produces.Lesson Ten62. The slightest mention of the decade brings nostalgic recollections to themiddle-aged and curious questionings by the young.-At the very mention of the Twenties, middle-aged people begin to recall it longingly and young people become curious and begin to ask questions about it. 63. The rejection of Victorian gentility was, in any case, inevitable.-Anyway, it was inevitable for American to discard Victorian gentility which upheld the middle-class respectability and affected refinement characteristic of Victorian England.64. The war acted merely as a catalytic agent in this breakdown of the Victorian socialstructure,…-The war only helped to speed up the collapse of the Victorian social structure. 65. But at the same time it was tempted, in American at least, to escape itsresponsibilities and retreat behind an air of naughty alcoholic sophistication and a pose of Bohemian immorality.-But at the same time, in America at least, the young people are strongly disposed to escape their responsibilities. They pretend to be worldly-wise and disregard conventional standards of behavior, drinking and breaking the traditional morality naughtily.66. Prohibition afforded the young the additional opportunity of making theirpleasures illicit,…-The young people found more pleasure in drinking because Prohibition made it a kind of adventure.67. …our young men began to enlist under foreign flags.-Our young men joined the foreign armies to fight in the war.68. …they “wanted to get into the fun before the whole thing turned belly up”.-they wanted to take part in the adventure of war before it ended.69. …they had outgrown towns and families…-they could not adapt themselves to life in their hometowns and families anymore.70. … the returning veteran also had to face the sodden, Napoleonic cynicism ofVersailles, the hypocritical do-goodism of Prohibition, andthe smug patriotism of the war profiteers.-the returning veterans also had to face the stupid cynicism shown by the victorious allies in Versailles who acted just like Napoleon once did.

Paraphrase the following:Unit 11 The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2 Finally, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, proving you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.3 … you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. Y ou did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.Unit 21 Moses justified his unwilling to pass Jehovah’s order to Pharaoh, saying that he was “ slow of speech”.2 Delay leads to problems. However , in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3 He points out that hastiness may give rise to decisions which turn out t be humiliating or expensive.Unit 31 I am preety sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2 People in a primitive society , for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.3 Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of sience and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in the world.Unit 41 He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2 He enjoyed the freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. Yhe only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above- mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.3 The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen(to the accused) made this form of trial more attrative than any other form of justice.Unit 51 This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nture as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2 It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3 …, but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.Unit 61 One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.2 A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.3 People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetious work are usually who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.Unit 71 Beauty, when considered in relation to a female, involves a judgement of not only looks but also charcter and intellect, making itself a much more controversial issue. Unit 81 Apart from that, the entire attration of the toffee is gone without your noticing it when you actually go so far as to eat it.2 As far as I am concerned, the greatest pleasure appetite can offer is the longing for what I have yet to achieve rather than to feel content with what I have already achieved.Unit 93 The rapid spread of scofflawry is its most disturbing characteristic. Only a totally irrational society could ever tolerate its unchecked growth.Unit 101 We both use all the knowledge and imagination we can summon, tryin to figure out the actual sense, and after practically one whole hour, we eventually are able to understand it.2 It does harm to the most intellifent individual and, by and by, wears away his ability to judge, eventually reducing him to being unable to detect nonsense either in his own writing or in that of others.3 He reads gibberish, and gradually he forms a habit of writing gibberish himself, which he has been instructed to learn as exemplary writing of sophisticated taste.。
