One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms ofAppendix I - 98-disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154 words)Unit 2Text org. Ex. 2 On P381. Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act;2.

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues,let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI.1. 1) In a way 2) in accordance with 3) vacancy 4) in good condition5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current 2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about 5) driving at 6) put …away 7) turning …over 8) took …aback3. 1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often deceptive4.1) Oddly en ough …went broke …wrinkled … he had gone all to pieces2) definite … is capable of …her vanity3) too mild … sipping … strokeII.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediatefamilies. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones.

The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming. Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one.

When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.。

We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。
但对许多人,尤其是对移民而言,它意味着改善自己生活的机会。
对于他们,美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。
托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高,但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。
托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。
他什么时候以及怎么到美国的,我不清楚。
不过,有天晚上,我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。
他身高五英尺七、八左右,人很瘦。
“我割你的草坪,”他说。
他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。
我问他叫什么名字。
“托尼·特里韦索诺,”他回答说。
“我割你的草坪。
”我对托尼讲,本人雇不起园丁。
“我割你的草坪,”他又说道,随后便走开了。
我走进屋子,心里有点不快。
没错,眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过,可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢?等我第二天晚上下班回到家,草坪已修整过了,花园除了草,人行道也清扫过了。
我便问太太是怎么回事。
“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来,”她回答说。
“我还以为是你雇他来的。
”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。
我俩都觉得奇怪,他怎么没提出要工钱。
接下来的两天挺忙,我把托尼的事给忘了。
我们在尽力重整业务,要让一部分工人回厂里来。
但在星期五,回家略微早了些,我又在车库后面看到了托尼。
我对他干的活夸奖了几句。
“我割你的草坪,”他说。
我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪,就这样托尼每天轻扫院子,有什么零活,他都干了。
我太太说,但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的,他挺派得上用场。
夏去秋来,凉风阵阵。

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.

The teacher’s affectionate words, along with his candid comments, changed the way Mike perceived the society and himself.2.For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

Cloze(A) Can you switch off (1) from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged (2) to be on the go (3) all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope (4) with what they see as a shortage (5) of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity of (6) information that comes pouring in (7) on us. “All men,” said Aristotle, “by nature (8) desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction (9) of the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile (10) to even attempt to do so.

That, of course, includes (5) going to class, eating, social activities, personal hygiene, telephone and TV time, etc. Be sure to schedule (6) time for all these in your 119 hours. Then try sticking (7) to your schedule for a week. This should give you a good idea of what your real priorities (8) are!Learn to say NO once your priorities are set (9). Turning down an invitation doesn’t mean you’ll never be invited again. Making a decision based on what you know is best for you at the time actually leads to great respect (10) from your friends.II Translation1) 他们正在探索医学研究的新领域,试图治疗那些目前还无药可救的疾病。
