So education is important in preventing the spread of HIV.2) There are TWO processes to prevent new HIV infections: one is to give people information about HIV and the other is to teach people how to put this information to use and act on it practically.3) HIV-positive people need to get medical services and drug supplies . And they also need to find appropriate emotional and practical support and help.4) Many people fear those who are HIV-positive. Some extreme cases can be found in India , where AIDS patients were burned to death .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why does the author describe Charles Winget and his wife in the first paragraph?Because she intends to show that people’s bodies operate at different speeds.2) How would behavioral scientists explain the differences between Charles Winget and his wife?Behavioral scientists would say that such differences were caused by personal eccentricities or early conditioning.3) What are “circadian rhythms” according to Franz Halberg?According to Franz Halberg, circadian rhythms are the regular daily patterns of our body. That is, our systems work on an approximately 25-hour cycle. Sometimes our body speeds up, and sometimes it slows down. It achieves peak efficiency for only a limited time each day.4) How does the study of chronobiology benefit people in general? Chronobiology tells people how to coordinate their activities with their biological capacities so that they can achieve their best with the least effort.5) What approach has been developed to help a person recognize his body’s patterns?Winget and his associates have developed a simple approach. It is to record 6 readings of a person’s temperature all throughout the day and put the readings on graph paper. The rising or falling patterns of the temperature can be recognized as his body’s patterns.6) How should we arrange our mental and physical work according to the author?Physical work can be best done when our rhythms are at their peak. In most people, this peak lasts about four hours. For mental activities, the timetable is more complicated. Precision tasks such as mathematical work are best tackled when your temperature is on the rise. For most people, this is at 8 or 9 a.m. By contrast, reading and reflection are better done between 2 and 4 p.m., which is the time when body temperature usually begins to fall.7) What tips does chronobiology offer for effective dieting?Eating breakfast rather than dinner helps to lose weight, because calories burn faster in the morning than in the evening.8) What tips for sleep problems are offered in the text?Three tips are offered. The first is that we should go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends. The second is that the best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. And the third tip is that we should beware of sleepin g pills, as most sleeping pills won’t work for periods longer than two weeks and there is real danger of drug accumulation in the blood.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–4 Our bodies operate with the complexity of clocks. Franz Halberg, a physician-biologist, discovered that there is a 25-hour cycle in the body with the body systems running with regular patterns. Halberg called these regular patterns “circadian rhythms.”Two 5–6 Circadian principles have already been used to schedule astronauts’ work and it is expected that the work in chronobiology will be applied to increasing our efficiency in daily activities.Three 7–17 Taking the given approach to figure out our body’s patterns, we can then take advantage of chronobiology techniques to improve our healthand productivity in such aspects of life as our daily work, dieting, taking medicine and sleeping.Four 18 It is important to keep regularity in all aspects of our life and learn to act in synchronization with our body’s natural rhythms.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. It is barely 5 a.m., but Winget is raring to go. Meanwhile, his wife pulls up the covers and buries her face under the pillow. (Para. 1)Early in the morning Winget wakes up and is eager to begin the day’s work while his wife still needs more sleep. That is to say, people’s body clocks run at different speeds, thus leading to different waking times.2. Halberg’s explanation: instead of performing at a steady, unchanging rate, our systems function on an approximately 25-hour cycle. (Para. 4)Many people believe that our systems work at the same rate all throughout the day, but it is not true.3. Of course, individual variations make all the difference. (Para. 11) Different people may show different patterns of temperature change, and such differences reflect differences in their circadian rhythms.4. “All the subjects lost weight eating breakfast,” states Sothern. “Those who ate dinner either maintained or gained weight.” (Para. 14)Sothern, a chronobiologist who personally did the research and whose words are to be taken seriously, emphasizes the point that for effective dieting, it’s a good choice to eat breakfast rather than dinner.5. The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is simply to resume your normal cycle. (Para. 17)The best way to recover from a bad night’s sleep is not to have more sleep in order to make up for the lost sleep, but to go on with your normal sleep-wake cycle, i.e. to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on weekends.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition. The first letter of each word is already given.Example:e lection: the choosing by vote of a representative to take an official position1) i solate: keep apart; separate from others2) i ssue: produce (esp. sth. printed and / or official)3) c ontract: get or begin to have (sth. bad, esp. an illness)4) i gnorance: lack of knowledge, information, or consciousness5) b roken: made discouraged or weak by misfortune, ill-health, etc.6) s egment: any of the parts into which sth. can be cut or divided7) c ommunity: the people living together and/or united by common background, nationality, etc.8) p rejudice: (an) unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, esp. when formed without enough thought or knowledge2 Fill in each blank with a word or phrase from Text B. Both the explanation and the number of the paragraph in which the target word or phrase appears are given in brackets. Be sure to use the proper form.Example:She wanted to protect her children from the evils of the outside world.(great wickedness or misfortune: Para. 7)1) The two sides never agree. How can I bring their disputes to an end ? (cause sth. to finish, usu. after lasting some time: Para. 1)2) The SARS victims have to be isolated so that they would not infect others. [(of disease) get into the body of (sb.): Para. 3]3) The letter was full of threats and she decided to show it to the police. (an expression of an intention to hurt, punish, etc.: Para. 6)4) By acting in this stupid way you may eventually put your whole future at risk ?(in danger: Para. 8)5) It is time to set aside our differences and work together for a common purpose.(abandon or leave out of consideration: Para. 14)6) James took the books off the little shelf to make room for the new photo frame.(push things closer together in order to provide space for another thing: Para.14)7) The government is appealing to everyone to save water.(make a strong request for support, help, etc.: Para. 15)Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) Why did Mary Fisher come to address the audience?She came to break the silence that has been kept over the issue of HIV/AIDS for a long time.2) How serious is the situation of HIV infection?In the United States, two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying; a million more are infected. AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americans today. Worldwide, 40 million, 60 million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years.3) Why does Fisher say that AIDS virus is not a political creature?Because it has nothing to do with politics. It does not care whether you are a Democrat or Republican; it attacks people regardless of race, sex or age; it does not ask whether you are gay or straight.4) Why has the AIDS virus spread so widely?Because we have helped it spread with our ignorance, prejudice and silence.5) Why shouldn’t AIDS patients be treated cruelly?Because they are human. Each of them is a person. They are not evil and have not earned cruelty. They do not deserve meanness. They don’t be nefit frombeing isolated or treated as outcasts. They long for our pity and they are worthy of our compassion and support.6) How have Fisher’s family members reacted to her being infected with HIV? Instead of practicing prejudice against her, they have rendered strong support to her. Her parents and her brother have shown concern for her consistently. They have always encouraged her and have helped her pull through the hardest moments in her struggle against the disease.7) What does Mary Fisher call on her listeners to do?She calls on the whole nation to be aware of AIDS. She calls on the HIV positive to have the courage to fight it out. She calls on the healthy people to set aside prejudice and show compassion and support for AIDS patients.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end. (Para. 1)To act on the proposal I made, I have to break the silence myself tonight. It is time to speak out the truth about the deadly disease — AIDS.2) Tonight, I represent an AIDS community whose members came reluctantly from every segment of American society. (Para. 5)AIDS has become so widespread that those who have been infected come from every part of society.3) Are you human? And this is the right question: Are you human? (Para. 7) This question reveals the essence of the AIDS issue: Since AIDS poses a threat to humankind, every one of us, irrespective of race, age or sex, may contract HIV and become a victim of AIDS for the simplest reason that we are all human.4) Because people with HIV have not entered some alien state of being. (Para. 7)Because people with HIV have not turned into some strange kind of creature that is totally different from us. They are just as human as anyone else. We have no reason to practice prejudice against them.5) Then their children, and yours, may not need to whisper it at all. (Para. 15) Then the future generations will face the problem in an honest and frank manner. Only in this way can they deal with the disease effectively and make the world safe and free from this deadly disease.Optional Classroom ActivitiesThe two tables below illustrate respectively the leading causes of death worldwide in 2002 (Table 1) and the leading causes of death among 15 to 59-year-olds worldwide (Table 2) in the same year. Work in small groups and study the tables carefully, and then do the following two tasks:1) Compare the two tables and find out in Table 2a. What new causes of death are added?New causes of death added in Table 2 are: suicide, violence and liver cancer.b. What causes move up in ranking?Causes that move up in ranking in Table 2 are: HIV / AIDS, road accidents and tuberculosis.Suggestions for this activity:Since students will have no difficulty in finding out the answers to the questions in Task 1, this activity should focus on Task 2. In fact, no professional knowledge is required for a fruitful discussion. Students are encouraged to share their existing knowledge and pool their ideas. If time permits, ask some students to give presentations to the whole class.2) Discuss what might have caused the above differences.Table 2 shows an increase in the ranking of deaths due to HIV / AIDS, tuberculosis, road accidents, suicide, violence and liver cancer among people in the 15–59 age bracket, compared to their rankings in all age groups.Teenagers (13–19 year olds) and young people tend to be more passionate, emotional and adventurous. So they may love taking risks: breaking traffic laws, taking drugs, being loose with sexual relationships. And they may easily feel frustrated with failures in their study or relationships.Hence more deaths resulting from road accidents, violence, HIV / AIDS, and suicide.People in their thirties and forties are generally under great pressure from their work and family burdens. The pressure may continue to be a threat to their health before they reach 60.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Hollywood has repeatedly presented us with the image of (31)sophisticatedcriminals who haveelaborate plans, extensive connections, and can sweet-talk anyone into doing whatever they want. The truth, however, bears no resemblance (32)whatsoeverto this image.In movies, members of organized crime typically (33)intimidateinnocent businessowners to pay them "protection money"—which is actually a fee the citizens need to pay for protection from the very people they're paying. They are also known to "knock off," or kill, potential (34)competitorsso that they remain the only "show" in town. The truth of these portrayals is(35)doubtful. Sure, some of these things happen, but they happen much less often thanmovies and television would lead us to believe.There is no doubt, however, that among members of organized crime, there is a considerableamount of (36)corruption. Money is their primary objective, and they are usually willing todo anything to get it. In today's day and age, though, they are more than likely to (37)refrainfrom violent crimes and pursue more white-collar crimes in order to achieve their goals.Crime "families" are now known to enter into (38)contractswith legitimatebusinesses and form (39)partnershipswith honest companies. Don't misunderstand, theystill demand complete (40)loyaltyfrom "family" members, they still conduct illegaloperations, and they are still criminals, but they have gotten much better at appearing clean and staying out of jail. Your answer Correct answer(31) sophisticated sophisticated(32) whatsoever whatsoever(33) intimidate intimidate(34) competitors competitors(35) doubtful doubtful(36) corruption corruption(37) refrain refrain(38) contracts contracts(39) partnerships partnerships(40) loyalty loyaltyPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.September 23, 2011Dear Diary,This afternoon, Mr Jenkins asked me to stay for a few minutes after class. He told me that next week is Deaf Awareness Week and that we would be discussing it in class. He's already planned several activities and lectures, but, for obvious reasons, he also wanted me to make a class presentation.I stared at him in disbelief. How could I possibly make a presentation to the entire class? I was petrified.I didn't want to do it, and I told him so. He was determined, though. He really thought it would be a good opportunity for me to share my "culture" (his word) with my classmates. That got me thinking. Do I have a unique culture? I've never thought about it like that before.I went straight to the library to do some research. What makes different cultures recognizable and distinct? I know that language is what distinguishes so many cultures. I may be deaf but I still understand English. Yet, I do utilize a form of English that not everyone can understand—American Sign Language, or ASL. Once I realized that, I immediately looked for books about ASL so I could learn more.Soon after Thomas Gallaudet graduated from Yale University, he was commissioned to help teach Alice Cogswell, the deaf daughter of a wealthy local doctor. Gallaudet travelled to Europe, where deaf education had been in existence for a long time, to study communication among deaf people. He met Laurent Clerc in Paris, recruited him to help develop deaf education in the United States, and, in 1817, the two founded the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut.Laurent Clerc began teaching American students the form of French Sign Language with which he was familiar. However, many of the students at the new school were already using their own unique form of sign language that had independently developed in their communities. Over time, and with extensive use, the various forms eventually evolved into what we now know as American Sign Language.Sign language is almost exclusively based on easily decipherable hand motions that represent spoken words. Since deaf people rely heavily on their sense of sight, this method of communication is logical. Body language is extremely important in ASL, and subtle movements of the eyebrows, mouth, or fingers often indicate connotations that are typically represented by tone of voice in spoken language.Interestingly, there is still no universal form of sign language that is readily understood by deaf people around the world. Indeed, though people in the United States and Great Britain speak English, American Sign Language and British Sign Language are distinctly different and "speakers" of each form would not be able to easily communicate with one another. You know what? I'm not so scared to make this presentation to my class next week. In fact, I'm actually looking forward to it. Maybe I'll even inspire some of my classmates to learn ASL! That would be great. I guess Mr Jenkins was right. I do have a special culture to share. American Sign Language is like a different language, and understanding that language is essential to understanding me and my culture.41. The writer of this passage is unable to _____.A. seeB. hearC. smellD. walk42. Even though this passage is in the form of a diary entry, the material is _____.A. entertainingB. persuasiveC. informativeD. fictitious43. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement?A. There is a universal form of sign language used by deaf people around the world.B. American Sign Language is a form of French Sign Language.C. Laurent Clerc introduced the first form of sign language to the United States.D. Every country has its own unique form of sign language.44. Which of the following events occurred in 1817?A. Thomas Gallaudet graduated form Yale University.B. Thomas Gallaudet met Laurent Clerc in Paris.C. Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc founded the American School for the Deaf.D. Laurent Clerc developed American Sign Language.45. According to the writer, all of the following are important to sign language EXCEPT_____.A. the ability to readB. hand motionsC. sense of sightD. body language。

If there is not fun, they would make fun. If something is not fun, they would make it fun.

What do most people think about lying?A1: Lying is a common phenomenon and most of lies are small and insignificant. Meanwhile, it is common that people take lies lightly, because their lies have caused little preoccupation or regret.Q2: Why do people tell lies or white lies?A2: According to passage, the purpose of telling lies or white lies varies. Women tell a lie according to the principle of caring or spare other’s feelings. Men tell lies basically for utilitarian self-promotion purpose.Q3: What does the example of tom tell? And what does Josephson’s reply to tom suggest?A3: The story of tom supports the argument that little white lies are ubiquitous and people have taken these lies for granted, believing that they are well-intended. Josephson’s reply is very negative. His mother-in-law may feel hurt when she discovers the deceit someday or even worse. In short, such white lies may produce distrust among people. Q4: What, according to the author, are the consequences of lying?A4: The consequences of lying are three fold, the deceived may feel cheated and won’t trust the liar any more; the liar will lose trust and get intangled in the lies he weaves. And if lies proliferate endlessly, society as a whole would falter and collapse as trust is damaged or destroyed.Q5: Are all white lies unacceptable? What is the yardstick of acceptable lies?A5: Not all white lies are unacceptable. Some white lies like setting somebody up for a surprise party or telling children about tooth fairy can be justified. However, you have to consider the attitude of the deceived towards lying.

Unit6Q1: What is the problem with poetry, according to the author? And whatdoes he suggest as the solution?A1: The problem in the poetry is that people find it difficult to write a poem, so they don’t even try. What is worse is that they have virtually given up reading poems. The author believes that people can be encouraged to write a poem easily, even if it’s really rotten.Q2: Why does he suggest writing a rotten poem, instead of a decent poem?A2: The idea is to make it easy for everyone to write at least one poem in his life.Q3: Why does he suggest using unusual nouns and conflicting human senses？A3: That’s a rule of thumb and the fashion of today. Unusual nouns and conflicting senses can create profound images and feelings and poetic atmosphere.Q4: How does writing a rotten poem help promote poetry reading?A4: When you have written a poem, it will be an accomplishment, so you feel free to read the works of your fellow poets. You may find some inspiration from their poems and therefore continue writing your poems. In this way, you keep observing the emotion of yourself and others.E1: Good poets and poems are lost forever simply because there is no market for them, no people who write their own verse and seek out further inspiration from other bards.A1: good poets have stopped writing poems, because there’re fewer and fewer readers and fellow poets. They can’t depend on poetry writing for a living and there’s no poetic society, from which they can draw inspiration and stimulation.E2: Observe others’emotions and experience your own---that’s what poetry is all about.A2：The point of poetry is to express and recall emotions, so when you read poems, you will observe the emotions of the poet. When you write your own poem, you need to observe and organize your emotions.Unit 7Q1: What’s the implied meaning of the old man’s remark, “young people who need a love potion very seldom have five thousand dollars. Otherwise they would not need a love potion”A1: What the old man means is that a young man who is in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a gir l’s heart. His words imply that money is an important factor for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be loved by a girl.Q2: What are the effects of the love potion?A2: It has powerful, everlasting effects. To begin with, it may produce sexual desire in the person who takes in. on the spiritual side, it can replace indifference with devotion, and scorn, with adoration. It willmake a gay girl want nothing but solitude and her lover’s company. She will feel jealous of him. She will want be to everything of him. Even if he slips a little, she will forgive him though terribly hurt. In a word, she’ll fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion.Q3: Why is the love potion priced at one dollar while the glove-cleaner is so expensive?A3: It’s an iron by which the author seems to imply that love is far from being pressures or desirable. It’s easy for a man to fall in love, yet it’s hard for him to stick to it. Should he regret someday, he would pay a much high price to get him out of this. Anyway, for the old, and for his customers, the life-cleaner is more important than the love potion.Q4: What does the old man’s remark in paragraph 39 “one has to be old enough to indulge in that sort of thing” mean?A4: This means there’s a wide difference between the young and the old. Young people tend to be over passionate for love. Sometimes, senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man, who sells the mixtures would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude towards life.Q5: What does the end of the story indicate?A5: An urban and polished reply to the young man’s goodbye meaning “until I see you again” indicates the old man’s firm belief that the young man will eventually come back to him for the life-cleaner. This shows his cynical passion about love.E1: It is only when one is in a position to oblige that one can afford to be so confidential.A1: just because I’m able to do you a favour, I feel safe to tell you so much about my other medicine.E2: “For indifference,” said the man, “they substitute devotion. For scorn, adoration.Unit 8Q1: What is meant by a sense of proportion?A1: A sense of proportion could be a seen as the ability to take into full consideration all important factors in an issue and attach due weight to each factor.Q2: What does the writer try to illustrate by the examples of research in medicine and study of the atom?A2: In the first place, they’re examples of the idea raised at the very beginning of the text. The problem is partly due to the fact that it’s now more difficult to acquire of a sense of proportion. In consequence, break throughs in science are likely to bring about harms if human kind fails to see the end of science, and consider everything in a comprehensive manner.Q3: Why is wisdom a necessary quality in people and culture?A3: According to the author, the vices of the lack of wisdom are obvious ranging from disturbance to public life to unpleasant incidents in private life. Meanwhile, they seem to be an imbalance in the growth of knowledge and wisdom, which is very likely to make things even worse. So wisdom is very necessary for both personal and cultural developments.Q4: What, according to Russell, is the essence of wisdom? And how does that explain the process to attain wisdom?A4: it’s impartiality or emancipation from egoistic concerns. It’s very hard for man to attain impartiality, as man is naturally bound up by his own physical states ever since his birth. As he grow up, however, his horizon widens, his concerns get beyond limits of time and space, and his feelings become more impersonal. Thus he grows in impartiality and wisdom.Q5: Could you explain the importance of impartiality for you?A5: According to the fact that impartiality is one of the ingredients in respect. It’s also the basis of rationality, for irrationality is normally based on partiality.E1: Even an end which it would be noble to pursue if it were attainable may be pursued unwisely if it is inherently impossible of achievement.A1: It would be unwise to pursue a goal that’s bound to fail, though it might be noble to do something.E2: I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and now.A2: I think the essence of wisdom is to get one’s horizon free from limit of time and space.Unit 9Q1: How important is food and eating, according to Kenneth Lo?A1: They determine people’s physical health and their spiritual and moral soundness and his ultimate well-being.Q2: How do the Chinese and westerners differ in their attitudes towards food?A2: According to the author, many people in the west are gourmets and gluttons, while a large number of others are pretty indifferent to food. On the contrary, to Chinese people, food is of primary importance and is one of the ecstasies of life. Also, when they go to a restaurant, westerners care more about the table than the food, while the Chinese aim to eat with the capital E or to take the food with enjoyment.Q3: Why does the author say that Chinese food is the only truly international food?A3: Literally, Chinese food is ubiquitous. Chinese restaurants are sprung up and area almost everywhere. At the root of the phenomenon is a strong interest in Chinese food in the west. There’s an increase in sensuality inthe western world and coincidently Chinese food is very sensual in its combination of color, texture and taste.Q4: Why does the author compare a proper Chinese meal to a religious ceremony?A4: For Chinese people, the traditional high quality Chinese meal is a serious matter. It’s fastidiously prepared and fastidiously enjoyed. Both the preparation and enjoyment of a Chinese meal can last hours and make a shared experience. The meal must not only meet the challenge of the palate but also satisfy the eye.Q5: How does Chinese food express the basic assumption of life?A5: A good traditional Chinese meal must be well-prepared and balanced in order to meet the demand of the palate and the eye alike. There’s moral excellence in good cooking, which indicates the combination of all life, all action and all knowledge. It’s not simply the product of recipe. It expresses the basic assumption of life, harmony and balance.E1: Food to my countrymen is a kind of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered with loving care throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating. A1：To Chinese, food is one of the greatest joys in life. It’s thought about carefully in advance and prepared with love and care. When it’s ready, we devote a lot of time to enjoy it.E2: It’s this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom from age-bound habits in the west, combined with the inherent sensual concept of Chinese food, always quick to satisfy the taste buds, that is at the root of the sudden and phenomenal spread of Chinese food throughout the length and breadth of western world.A2: The main reason for the sudden and amazing spread of Chinese food throughout the world lies in two facts. One is the increased desire for sensual pleasure and freedom from age-old customs in the west. The other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food, which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Unit 10Q1: How does an avocation writer differ from a professional writer in light of some principles of writing?A1: The two speakers, a vocational writer and an amateur differ significantly in some aspects of writing principles. Concerning whether writing is hard or easy, an avocational writer takes writing easily as a means of pleasure and stops when he is unhappy or comes across any difficulty. However, a professional writer takes writing as an act of literature, which shall go on anyhow and could be hard and lonely sometimes.Q2: How did the author take the differences?A2: The author was interested and amused by the differences. Hebelieved that the differences had given the audience a broader concept of writing.Q3: What’s the right way of writing, according to the author, if there is any?A3: The author believes that as there are all kinds of writers and all kinds of methods, any method that helps people to say what they want to say is the right method for them. The most important thing is that the writer must express himself and get himself felt in any piece of writing.Q4: What does the author mean when he says “ultimately the product that any writer has to sell is not the subject being written about, but who he ot she is”?A4: The author means that what a writer actually puts on paper is not as important as the enthusiasm or warmth he puts in his writing. In the same way, a reader is more interested in the enthusiasm or emotional baggage that that the writer may bring to his writing. So writing is very personal work.Q5: What does the title mean?A5: The personal transaction means personal expression or the communication between the writer and the reader. He means to personalize writing.E1: They sit down to commit an act of literature, and the self who emerges on paper is a far stifle person that the one who sat down.A1: Writers are likely to take writing earnestly and anxiously and are, therefore, not able to express themselves naturally.E2: It’s not necessary to want to spend a year alone at Walden Pond to become deeply involved with a writer who did.Unit 11Q1: what’s the genuine process of learning, according to the author?A1: According to the author, the genuine process rests with students with their own investigation which is the best thing a teacher can guide a student to. She believes that learning is not so much the acquisition of knowledge as it’s an investigation.Q2: Is discipline important for studies?A2: According to the author, there’s no shootout of learning. Persistence and discipline are by students to reach the very-end and savor the flavor of hard-won success.Q3: What’s the importance of risk taking?A3: It’s a problem with the current educational approach that students are discouraged from venturing far enough to take risks to make mistakes. However, if people try different approaches and do things that have no precedence, they will surely make mistakes, which, as the author argues, are the stepping stones of creative people.Q4: How do you understand the state that “to learn, then, is to openoneself”?A4: It means one has to drop his prior knowledge so as to absorb new knowledge. If he refuses to do so, the old knowledge may hinder the assimilation of new knowledge. It also implies that one should learn to appreciate constructive criticism. If he constantly fails to take criticism, he can never know where his weakness lies and grow out of it.Q5: What do you think the author means by saying “listen with your whole body”?A5: “listen with your whole body” is to get yourself fully activated both cognitively and physically. You have to be extremely attentive to what the teacher says instead of letting your mind wonder and keeping your body inert.E1: Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods.A1: When they start school. Children are curious and ready to try everything unknown. However, they end up losing the pioneering spirit after years of formal education.E2: Being “advanced”has its own pitfalls---among them complacency and pushing or forcing.A2: Advanced learners are likely to make some mistakes, such as excessively satisfied with their progress, or on the contrary, putting too much pressure on themselves to score further achievements.Unit12Q1: Why does Snyder keep the gun pointed at the nine men?A1: He knows very well that without the gun, the nine men on the lifeboat would jump at the remaining water like animals or they would even kill him for the water.Q2: Why didn’t he allow the nine men to drink the remaining water?A2: Once the water was gone, they would have nothing to look forward to but death. If he had given in to their instinct for the water, they would have emptied the last canteen days ago, and by then they would have all been dead.Q3: What’s the significance of the gun, as the author repeatedly mentions it?A3: Throughout the story, the narrator keeps referring to the gun and the fact that he was the only man with a gun. The gun means authority and responsibility, especially for the reason which he had to keep where the rest had lost it. When he handed over the fun to the boatswain’s mate, he was handling the duty, and it was amazing that the mate changed from a craving animal to a reasoning guard once he took the gun.Q4: Why did Snyder hate the bos’n’s mate? Or did he really mean it?A4: Snyder hated the bos’n’s mate because he has been the biggest threat to the water and he was able to sleep but Snyder could n’t. Snyder had to keep awake. Yet Snyder didn’t mean it when talking about the hatred.They weren’t personal enemies. Their confrontation arose as a result of the desperate situation and Snyder’s responsibility. He was the man with the gun and he was in command. He was the man who had to think. That’s the difference.Q5: Why did the bos’n’s mate change from an animal to a reasonable watcher?A5: Snyder was amazed to find out after he woke up that bos’n’s mate held the gun steadily at the rest and said that he had kept the apes for all day. He understood that when one was the boatswain in command and responsible for the rest, one would surely get to see things differently.E1: As a man I didn’t count any more, I was no longer third officer of the wrecked Montala. I was just a gun that kept them away from the water they craved.E2: But Barrett was beyond all reasoning. His mind had already cracked with thirst.。
