They had recently sent out their youngest reporter around their local hospitals. He had found that while in some cases the facilities provided for out-patients were extremely good, and waiting rooms were bright and cheerful places, in others, patients were still expected to sit in dreary passages, moving from chair to chair as the queue diminished, no literature was provided, and the canteen, if one existed at all, might be five minutes’ walk away. They felt that far more could be done to obviate such inconvenience, and that some hospitals were not taking full advantage of the various voluntary bodies which offered excellent assistance in the provision of canteens and suchlike.Translation1. 我所到之处满目疮痍，楼房夷为瓦砾，活人成了死尸，生命的欢乐已然封存在这一具具死体之内，这一切时时刻刻都在刺痛着我的心。

Well, yes, up to a point, but we all know that there’s a right and a wrong time to quit. According to new research, people who know when to give up on impossible goals, the so-called “quitters”, are physically and mentally healthier than “bulldogs” who persist at any cost.

新世纪大学英语综合教程第六册1-5单元课后习题答案Unit 1WORD1)Only when we have weighed all the factors involved can we decide when would be the best time to take action.2)The management invited the employees to voluntarily submit proposals for projects to improve work performance.3)The new students were told that they must register with university before they could claim their grants.4)The club,which claimed to have found a suspicious package that might contain bombs,was still sealed off followinga security alert earlier this morning.5)A crowd of people gathered round,outraged by the way the police officers were hitting the two men.6)Extensive conversations with native speakers form an integral part of the English language course in our university.7)In this chapter the author illustrate his marketing theory with lots of first-hand materials from his business career.8)After each group finish their presentation,the rest of the class should critique their performance and vote for the best speaker.EXPRESSION1)You don't need to dress up just to go to the pub--jeans anda T-shirt will do.2)Could you type up the questions and answers from the press conference,please?They are due to be carried in tomorrow's newspaper.3)As the training progressed to the advanced level,most of the students drifted away,while Melanie and several othersstayed to the end.4)A group of teenagers put on a musical play about wildlife protection,which attracteda large audience every time they appeared on the stage.5)Economic recovery is already under way and business is becoming brisk again.6)After lying in hospital for two weeks,Jenny was afraid that she had fallen behind with her school work.CLOZEOnline teaching,a relatively recent instructional medium,is becoming more and more popular.At the same time,however,it has brought a lot of challenges to teachers who are used to giving traditional lectures.First of all,there is the challenge of delivering the subject matter via computer in the same enthusiastic,humorous and easy-to-understand way as in a regular classroom.Secondly,the teacher needs to do hours of typing and illustrating to make the subject matter clear for online students.Thirdly,for online education,interaction--with the teacher and with other students--is a more integral element of learning than it is in the classroom.Therefore,it is critical for the students to feel the teacher is always there ready to answer questions,willing to help develop a sense of community built around the subject matter.Finally,some students need the discipline of the classroom to stay involve or else they will fall behind and drift away in an online class as the online class provide too much flexbility.How to keep those students is probably the greatest challenge toan online class teacher.TRANSLATIONWhen I first came into contact with online teaching, I hadquestions about the val idity of this instructional medium. I would not know whether the student submitting th e work was the same person who registered for the course.Online teaching also required rethinking how I deliver the subject matter. Withou t face-to-face communication, can I, via computer, make the students feel the same ki nd of enthusiasm and appreciate my sense of humor?My shy daughter’s experience proved to be very inspiring. She never spoke in cl ass, but in the two online courses she took, she dived into discussions and posted her o pinions.The online course began and things ran better than I had expected. The students a ll followed the directions well, and the discussion board was lively. I’ve never met an y of my students but I got to know them by their work and I saw their learning attitude s develop before my eyes.I found that online education worked best with students who were very comforta ble with the computer and willing to become part of a community built around the sub ject matter. And it required teachers to be willing to help build that sense of communit y and make the students feel the teacher was always there.UNIT 2WORD1)He was merely a boy;I wouldn't have expected him to understand those abstract formulas.2)Though leading a frugal life,Charles is very generous,contributing time and money to a number of charitable organizations.3)He wasn't the sort of person who kept things for sentimental reasons;he threw them away immediately after use.4)The fire had destroyed most the building,but we managed to salvage a few valuable items.5)He was looking through a pile of old newspaper clippings for the report on the 100th anniversary of the university.6)Reclining in a comfortable chair,David idly flipped througha sports magazine.7)How can you expect an 'A' for this course when you turn in an essay as sloppy as this?8)The project needs to be meticulously planned as we havea tight deadline and only a limited budget.EXPRESSION1)Due to the cleaners strike,the rubbish in my house had been left unattended for days and it began to pile up against the wall.2)I was thinking of giving away those baby clothes of my daughter's,but for sentimental reasons I couldn't bring myself to part with them.3)First apply shampoo to your hair and leave the shampoo for two minutes,then rinseit off with warm water.4)After months of preparation,Kate and her parter finally set up their own printing business.5)I put forward a number of suggestions to improve working efficiency,but the management just toyed with ideas for a while and then rejected them.6)When questioned about the high oil price at present,nearly all interviewees claimed they had been forced to cut down fuel and many reported inconvenience in their lives.7)Have you finished with scissor?We're waiting to have our paper-cutting done.8)Buried in mounds of files,I just wanted to get the whole thing over with sooner so that I could go away and enjoy my holiday with all my heart.9)The global financial crisis is cutting a swath through the country's economy,with companies going bankrupt and individuals cutting down on their expenditure.10)Paul is an easy-going fellow at heart though sometimes he is very harsh and strict with his students.CLOZEThe distinction between neat people and sloppy people boils down to this:neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people.For one thing,neat people are bums and clods at heart.They like results and do not care about process.Instead of carrying in their mind's eye a heavenly vision,they just handle everything once and for all and everything that is of no immediate use goes into the trash can.They are incredibly wasteful and put neatness before all else,even economics.By contrast,sloppy people take pains to develop ambitions plans.They may not be neat now but someday they will straighten out the world.Besides,neat people have cavalier attitudes toward everything,including such possessions as family heirlooms.And they are especially vicious with mail.They throw ads catalogs,and coupons into the trash can without opening them.They are so insensitive that people,animals,and things are all one to them.They would toy with the idea of throwing the children out of the house just to cut down on the clutter.On the other hand,sloppy people give loving attention to their possessions and find it impossible to part with anything.TRANSLATIONSloppy people are not really sloppy. It is just that the plan they carry in their min d’s eye is too precise, too stupendous and too perfect to be achieved in this world or th e next. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file a nd order. When they finally set about handling things, sloppy people just can’t bear to part with anything. After hours of work, the place looks exactly the same. So sloppy never get neat.Neat people place neatness above everything else. They like results and don’t car e about process. T hey have cavalier attitudes toward possessions. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go. They are incredibly wasteful. Anything that is not of immediate us e goes into the trash. They are insensitive and there is no sentimental salvaging of birt hday cards or the last letter a dying relative ever wrote. Neat people operate on two un varying principles: Never handle any item twice, and throw everything away. So the o nly thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can.So neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. The distinction betwee n them is moral.UNIT 3WORD1)Every year George gives his wife Gigi a huge bunch of red roses on her birthday.2)I tried to give up smoking several times before I realized I was addicted to it.3)Young people who abuse drugs regularly often end up as very immature adults because they never learn to cope with their problems.4)After long separation we finally had a family reunion whereI saw relatives I hadn't seen for 20 years.5)He catches cold easily because his body's immune system is suppressed by the virus.6)His words have sown the seeds of suspicion in our minds and we are going tore-examine the evidence he has given in court.7)Miss Walker's father had gone bankrupt owing to a failed business venture with his dishonest partners.8)The invention of modern appliances such as washing machines and plug-in conveniences has liberated women from household chores and enabled them to enter the workforce.9)The Smiths adopted a poor little girl who had been starved of affection since her parents died in an accident.10)According to official statistics,there are 58 deaths per 1000 children born in that remote area of the country.EXPRESSION1)A reputation for quality,coupled with very competitive prices,has made these cars very popular.2)Many officials have been wondering aloud about the Prime Minister's competence in handling the current financial crisis.3)You can lose five pounds a week on this diet.And best of all,you never have to feel hungry.4)The doctor advised those with heart problems to put a first-aid kit close at hand the time.5)Several times it had crossed his mind to check on the car,but he never actually did it.6)I'm not going to sit by and watch a man go to prison for something I've done. CLOZETobacco smoking has been a popular practice for centuries.The tobacco industry,coupled with Hollywood movie inwhich both hero and heroine puff away,has successfully established a glamorous image of smokers.As a result,people take up smoking with the illusion of looking either dapper or fashionable and most of them end up hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.In some Third World countries,as in American ghettos and on reservations,money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies.Indeed,smoking is nothing but self-poisoning,and watching their loved ones dying of smoking,family members are often overwhelmed with a feeling of futility.Meanwhile,we must feel empathy for the tobacco plant itself.Though for centuries the plant has been venerated by Native Americans as a sacred medicine to heal wounds and cure diseases,it has been captured and abused to enslave the world.And with its true nature suppressed,the tobacco plant has become deadly.Indeed,we should redeem tobacco's soul,restore its self-respect right away and promote the slogan:"Every home a smoke-free zone."TRANSLATIONHer daughter smoked and she felt a deep hurt as her mother. She remembered ho w as a child she sat by, through the years, and watched her father, who smoked like a chimney, wheeze through most of his life feeling half his strength, and she remembere d how carefully she ate when she was pregnant, how patiently she taught her daughter how to cross a street safely. She had a feeling of futility when she saw her daughter r epeating the mistake of her grandfather.She did not want to see in the family another victory for the tobacco companies, but she was faced with powerful rivals: the tobacco industry and Hollywood. The two collaborated to winover completely people like her father and made them hopelessly addicted to cigarettes.It is not easy to quit smoking, but things may become easier of smokers realize th at smoking is s form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, and if we can really make “every ho me a smoke-free zone.”UNIT 4WORD1)Smart and hardworking,Germen seemed destined for a successful career ahead.2)At 31,Peggy feels trap in the boring job of an office secretary and she has a yearning to escape.3)Yesterday a storm blasted the Florida coast with 75 m.p.h.winds and left two tourists missing.4)The couple hardly ever reach an agreement---their conversations often erupt into quarrels and shouting.5)The ballet company's new performance successfully blended tradition and creative innovation,which won great admiration from critics.6)Repeated exam failures had eroded her confidence and exerted an influence onher---she started to skip classes more often.7)Ever since our secretary resigned,our office has been in a state of total chaos.8)Parents are usually inclined to impose their own moral values on theirchildren,which might bring on rebellion from teenagers.9)Some fathers are jealous of the attention a newborn baby receives from its mother,even if they won't admit it.10)I have this strong yearning for open spaces from havinglived in a crowed city for too many years.EXPRESSION1)The result of the survey is quite alarming---half the marriages in this country end in divorce.2)Being addicted to betting on horses,he had gambled away most of his inheritance by the time he was thirty.3)We cooked too much for lunch and had to take what was left over for supper.4)Many companies are now suffering from a chronic shortage of funds brought on in recent years by the financial crisis.5)She didn't quarrel with her husband when she found out about his infidelity,but her annoyance showed itself in her look.6)Inflation nibbles away at people's savings and reduces their value considerably.7)To show my affection for the little girl,I bent down and tried to kiss her on the forehead,but she pulled away in time,which made me rather embarrassed.8)As the advancing soldiers closed in on the town,people started running into the underground shelters for safety.CLOZEThe causes for marital despair are varied.Some marriages fail because of the outside weather:pressures such as job loss,illness,care of aging parents and all the other plagues of life may harshly hit marriage.Some other marriages fail because of a changed inner climate.At the tender beginnings of romance,each of us selects with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional patterns of our first homes,a mate who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives.And all marriages rely on the basic myth ofmeaning everything to each other,of merging together and solving all of life'sproblems.Yet,realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss.Now many marriages fall apart because those in the commitment are unwilling to exercise theself-discipline that marriage requires.Besides,an essential element for a good marriage,i.e.,communication between partners,is often missing.TRANSLATIONMarriage has always been difficult. Why has it become so hard for couples to sta y together in today’s societ y?On the one hand, our modern social fabric is thin, and the permissiveness of soci ety has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into chaos. On the other hand, marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline, but people today a re unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. Besides, couples tod ay must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the wome n’s movement and sexual revolution. These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss. If we lack adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling, if we cannot bring difficu lties out into the open, then marriage may come to the end of the road.Of course, divorce id not an evil act. For some people, it provides salvation and it can be a step toward a good life. However, marriages that do not fail but improve, tha t persist despite imperfections, offer a wondrous shelter for our mutual humanity.UNIT 5WORD1)The police are constantly searching for new ways of steering young people away from criminal activities.2)The audience were thrown into a panic after a bomb exploded in the theatre.3)He explained later that he had refrained from commenting on hisopponents'anti-constitutional claims in order to avoid open confrontation at the meeting.4)Corporate executives should not be given the right to intrude into employees'private lives by monitoring their phone calls.5)To protect intellectual property rights,the governments is making a great effort to unify the KTV system in karaoke bars.6)As the factory is faced with the danger of being shut down,many workers are suffering from an inner sense of desperation.7)It is totally nonsense to assert that smoking can help prevent bird flu or swine flu.8)The bus was already full up but the old lady managed to squeeze in.9)Using too many pieces of electrical equipment at once may overload the circuit and cause power cut or fire.10)Despite all the treatment he has had over the past few months,Ashby is still suffering from skin rashes and recurring respiratory problems.EXPRESSION1)As I was shopping one day,a girl mistook me for the well-known actor Jackie Chan and asked for my autograph.2)The box has been left unattended in the cellar for years,andit came apart as we tried to lift it up.3)The government promised to the public that they shall keep close watch on the latest developments in relation to the disease.4)I can put up with your room being cluttered with paintings and prints,but I hate it if it's not clean.5)To prepare food for the elderly,make sure to cut out the fat and bone before you cook the meat.6)The pain of losing his only daughter still sweeps over him in waves though it has been two years since the traffic accident occurred.7)The people who got hurt in the collision were rushed to the only hospital in the vicinity of the scene of the accident.8)Detectives were searching the scene of the crime closely,being careful enough not to leave any details out.9)For some days he had been mulling over the new plan,trying to come up with something more constructive.10)According to the latest survey,only 5% of American adults engage in regular annual physical check-ups,which health scientists consider quite worrying.11)All of your achievements for the week should be gathered up in a ten-minute talk with the manager every Friday.12)Of the 88 locomotives on this railroad line,35 are out of commission,either awaiting repairs or being replaced.CLOZEWhen your mind is out of commission,desperation writing can help you write something usable.The first thing is to admit your condition:for some reason,your mind is incapable of considering anything in relation to anything else though it can put a simple feeling or perception into understandablewords.Then try to write as much as possible.Don't refrain from writing about whatever that is on your mind.When you feel you have enough of it,read over what you wrote and every time you come to anything that could be squeezed into one sentence or one assertion,write it by itself on a little slip of paper.After you have done this,play solitaire with those littleslips,shifting them around and looking through in various sequences and getting them to distribute themselves in different piles.Often at this point,your sanity begins to return.And then you can finally come up with something workable. TRANSLATION Do you have this lingering doubt that you won’t be able to write something when you need to? Do you feel it’s like a constant fog or static that clouds the mind and yo u can never get out of its clutches?As a matter of fact, it is possible to write something ---- not something great or pleasing but at least something usable, workable ---- when your mind is out of commission.The trick is to do all your cooking out on the table because your mind is incapable of doing any inside.Try simply to steer your mind in the direction or general vicinity of the thing you are trying to write about and start writing and keep writing. Be as loose, drifting, quirky and jerky as pos sible when you write. Don’t think about what you are writing or what you have written or else you will overload the circuit again.Then take some little pieces of paper and simply read over from the beginning of what you wrote, and see if you can gather up something useful into one sentence and write it by itself on a little sheet of paper. Then, read through the little slips of paper a number of times and build a relationship among them until they get into different piles. At this point, you find you can finallybegin to think, and that lab report which has been occupying your mind is no longer unreachable.。

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Passage 1The word “generosity” has been devalued somewhat recently. A millionaire may give his friend a house in the beautiful suburb；A rich man could fly halfway round the world to meet his friends for his birthday party. In this case, generosity is more an action of showing off than a sincere action of giving. And such showing off lacks the most important quality of real generosity: to offer kindness and love without expecting anything in return.Real generosity, when you meet it, is simply so pleasant. And as a quality, it belongs equally to the rich and the poor. A traveler in a faraway place felt is when he shared bread, room, even bed with a farmer’s family, whose general principle is “A guest in the house is God in the house”.Another story is about a university student from Oxford. He did something out of his natural sense of generosity when he learned that his roommate couldn’t afford an impossibly expensive textbook, a book which was very rare in second-hand shops. Knowing that his roommate was far too proud to accept such a book as present from him, the rich student bought a new copy for 35 pounds at Blackwell’s bookshop. He dirtied it up a bit and tore off the paper cover, made a few dog-ears and pencil marks against what he thought might be important parts, and wrote and invented name in the front., He even remembered to age the ink by putting it over fire. Then hewent back, looking extremely proud of himself and claiming to have got the book in a second-hand bookshop. “Beaten them down to two pounds!” To make his friend believe him, he showed a receipt for the money by buying himself another book at the same place. Ten years later, the poorer student got to know the truth. Actually he was suspicious at the very beginning, though he didn’t force his richer friend to tell the truth. He appreciated the invaluable generosity as well as the valuable book.Real generosity lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness，not its price or wrapping of the gift. It is one of the things which make us human and should be honored more than we do now.36. A millionaire gives his friend a beautiful house, which is considered as ________bythe author.A. a sincere action of givingB. an action of showing offC. a good example of generosityD. a quality of being kind to others37.Which of the following is true of real generosity?A. It offers help expecting something in return.B. It’s a quality belonging only to the rich.C. It expresses a sort of simple love to human beings.D. It lies in the giver’s thoughtfulness and kindness.38.The Oxford student’s generosity to his roommate is shown in --------- .A.his efforts to look for the textbook in all the second-hand bookshopsB. his wisdom to beat the price of the book down to two poundsC. his ability to make the new book look old and cheapD. his consideration of offering the book without hurting his roommate’s self-respect39.The poorer student didn’t force his rich friend to tell the truth because ( )A. he had already known the factB. he appreciated his friend’s thoughtfulnessC. he was suspicious of the rich student’s intentionD. he didn’t want to know the truth40.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A. Real generosity is invaluable.B. A guest in the house is God in the house.C.The word “generosity” has been devalued.D. A gift can’t be judged by its price or wrapping.Passage 2Y ou’ve just been given a major task and want to do it well, but it seems that the minu te you get started, you’re interrupted. First, Jane stops by. Then, it’s the phone. Later, your boss tells you to drop everything--- she’s got a rush job. And you have that meeting at three!All these things are important. If only you could rearrange them without breaking your concentration. And you can! We’ve heard about Quality time at home--- why not quality time on the job?Begin by finding out those parts of the day during which you’re most creative. Y ou may work best in the morning or in the afternoon. No matter ---just find your time and build a wall around it.Say that for you, quality time begins at ten. Focus on your major task then, and don’t let anything interrupt you. If you have a secretary, tell her or him to hold all calls and visitors; if you don’t, try to ask a colleague to help you. The point is that both outsiders and colleagues will know that you will not be available for a part of each day. Why? Because you are working!Prepare for this special block of time as carefully as you would for an important meeting. Don’t waste precious minutes searching for memos or notes. Be ready to begin precisely at ten, and get the most out of every second. Y ou might like to use your block simply for thinking about a project, problem or a new idea.Start small --- maybe thirty or forty minutes, three times a week, building up to at least an hour. Sure, you’ll have to chip away at your block a little sometimes, but guard that hour as you would any other valued possession.41.According to the passag e, when don’t you want to be interrupted?A. When you are given a major task.B. When a friend stops by.C. When your boss gives you a rush job to do.D. When you have a meeting.42.Y ou work______________during your quality time.A. most quietlyB. most carefullyC. bestD. Worst43.When you focus on your major task, you’d better ask your secretary to ( ) .A. get every thing ready for youB. attend meetings instead of youC. hold all calls and visitorsD. write down memos and notes44.Y ou should let other people know that you are not available during your quality time because ( ) .A. you are busyB. a visitor has comeC. your boss has a rush jobD. you are working45.Build a wall around it in paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to ( ) .A. guard itB. create itC. focus your attention on itD. get ready for itPassage 3Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to London printers, Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government house, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidently wrote down the words “post office” instead of “post paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left, fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blues’ rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for it.46.A postage stamp’s value to collectors is raised if_________.A. there are many others like it leftB. there are no mistakes on the stampsC. a mistake is made in the printingD. Both A and B47.In 1847 most countries of the world were __________.A. collecting valuable stampsB. not issuing postage stampsC. buying their own stampsD. using their own stamps48.In 1847 the mistake on the locally printed postage stamps was in the _________.A.spelling of postageB. priceC. colourD. wording49.$16,800 is collectors’ value of_________.A. the One Penny Orange-RedB. any stamp printed in 1847C. the Two Penny BluesD. both A and C50.The mistake on the stamps was made ______.A. in MauritiusB. at Mauritius Government HouseC. in a post officeD. in LondonPassage 4When invited to lunch, dinner, or supper, it is very impolite to arrive late, as it is usually planned to have the meal at the exact hour given in the invitation. By arriving late, you will not only keep the other guests waiting, but greatly inconvenience the hostess and spoil the dinner. Western cooking is not, like Chinese, served up at the last minute, dish by dish from the frying pan. The dishes are all cooked, and planned to be ready exactly on the hour for which you are invited. If you are twenty minutes late, the meat will be overdone, the cauliflower will have lost its freshness, the French fried potatoes their crispness, the other guests their tempers, and the hostess her good opinion of your manners.It is just as important not to arrive too early. Y our hostess may be still dressing or busy arranging the table or cooking the dinner, and not prepared to meet you. One should plan to arrive not more than five minutes before the appointment time—just in time to remove one’s wraps and meet the other guests before dinner.When you arrive, the hostess or some member of the family will probably meet you at the door and take your coat and hat. In the winter time you should dress more lightly than usual, as you may expect the rooms to be warmer than in most Chinese homes. It is bad manners to open a window or a door in another person’s home without first asking permission, and before you do that, you should consider the comfort of the other people present. Y our hostess will accompany you into the room where the guests are assembled and introduce you to anyone you may not already know. Then she may indicate a seat for you, or you may find one to suit yourself.
