Audiovisual supplementFrom On Native SoilWatch the movie clip and answer the following questions.Questions for discussion1.Why did Sally Regenhard say that 9/11 was “a shattering of faith”?Answer: She believed in the system, and now that the system was shattered by the terrorist activity, so she thought the event is faith-shattering.2.Why did Carol Ashley think that there must be an investigation?Answer: 3000 people were killed. And the surviving family members had very right to know the truth about the 9/11. So there needed to be an investigation.3.What do you know about the 9/11 attacks and what influences have the events exert? (Open)Script:Policeman: Move back! Move back!Policeman: Move it! Go back!Eunice Hanson: I knew we had enemies, naturally, but I always felt pretty safe here. I never, never, in a million years dreamed that anything like this could happen to us.Sally Regenhard: We believed in the system and you know, 9/11 was a shattering of faith.Carol Ashley: 3000 people were killed. It was a mass murder. And there needed to be an investigation.Max Cleland: The surviving family members, nobody can deny that they had the ultimate claim to the truth about 9/11.II. Cultural Background1. Atomic BombAtomic bomb or A-bomb is a weapon deriving its explosive force from the release of atomic energy through the fission (splitting) of heavy nuclei.The first atomic bomb was produced at a laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and successfully tested on July 16, 1945. This was the culmination of a large U.S. army program that was part of the Manhattan Project. It began in 1940, two years after the German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman discovered nuclear fission.On Aug. 6, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima with an estimated equivalent explosive force of 12,500 tons of TNT, followed three days later by a second, more powerful, bomb on Nagasaki. Both bombs caused widespread death, injury, and destruction, and there is still considerable debate about the need to have used them.2. Nuclear WeaponNuclear weapons are weapons of mass destruction powered by atomic, rather than chemical, processes. Nuclear weapons produce large explosions and hazardous radioactive byproducts bymeans of either nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. After World War II, the proliferation of nuclear weapons became an increasing cause of concern throughout the world. At the end of the 20th century the vast majority of such weapons were held by the United States and the former Soviet Union; other countries that possess known nuclear capabilities are the Great Britain, France, China, Pakistan, and India. Israel also has nuclear weapons but has not confirmed that fact publicly; North Korea has conducted a nuclear test explosion but probably does not have a readily deliverable nuclear weapon; and South Africa formerly had a small arsenal. Over a dozen other countries can, or soon could, make nuclear weapons.3. The Bombing of Hiroshima and NagasakiOn August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb attack occurred over Hiroshima, Japan. Three days later, on August 9, Nagasaki, Japan was bombed. The bombing of Nagasaki was the last major act of World War II and within days, on August 15, 1945, the Japanese surrendered.In estimating the death toll from the attacks, there are several factors that make it difficult to arrive at reliable figures: inadequacies in the records given the confusion of the times, the many victims who died months or years after the bombing as a result of radiation exposure, and not least, the pressure to either exaggerate or minimize the numbers, depending upon political agenda. That said, it is estimated that by December 1945, as many as 140,000 had died in Hiroshima by the bomb and its associated effects. In Nagasaki, roughly 74,000 people died of the bomb and its aftereffects.In both cities, most of the casualties were civilians. The intentional killing of civilians by the Allies of World War II -who claimed that their cause was just—raised moral questions about the just course of the war.Section Two Global ReadingI. General analysis of the textThrough introducing Yamahata’s pictures, the author aims at bringing to people’s attention what kind of catastrophic consequences nuclear threat may lead to and that the unpredictability of nuclear attack might make any city in the world become the next target. Therefore, the only way to keep this world safe from nuclear peril is for people to take action to dispel nuclear weaponry from the earth.II. Structural analysis of the textThis argumentative essay describes nuclear destruction through a Japanese photographer’s pictures. The text comprises three parts.Part I (Paragraph 1): the writer describes the photographs and how a view of mountains in the background of one picture powerfully captures how thoroughly the city was destroyed by the atomic bomb.Part II (Paragraphs 2 – 3): the author argues that the bombing of Nagasaki is more representative of the nuclear peril threatening the world than that of Hiroshima, because it suggests that nuclear weapons can be used again and threaten everyone, so we need to take action to dispel the nuclear threat from the Earth.Part III (Paragraph 4): he restates his main idea, i.e. we should not just worry about the nuclear peril but take action to eliminate it to create a safer world.III. Rhetorical features of the textIn English, information can be organized in various ways. One of the effective ways of emphasizing some information is to put it after the word but in the “(not) A but B” structure. In the text, the author uses this rhetorical device many times. For instance,The photographs display the fate of a single city, but their meaning is universal ... (Paragraph 2)Practice:Pick out some other sentences with the same structure and analyze the effect they achieve.1) The true measure of the event lies not in what remains but in all that has disappeared. (Paragraph 1)2) … the challenge is not just to apprehend the nuclear peril but to seize a God-given opportunity to dispel it once and for all. (Paragraph 3)3) … one showing not what we would lose through our failure but what we would gain by our success. (Paragraph 3)Apart from the “A but B” sentence structure, we can also find the “A yet B” type:4) Nagasaki has always been in the shadow of Hiroshima ... Yet the bombing of Nagasaki is in certain respects the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger that still hangs over us. (Paragraph 2)5) Yamahata’s pictures afford a glimpse of the end of the world. Yet in our day, ... (Paragraph 3)And we can find a sentence that organizes information in a similar way without the use of the conjunction but or yet:6) Arriving a half-century century late, they are still news. (Paragraph 2)Section Three Detailed ReadingA VIEW OF MOUNTAINSJonathan Schell1.On August 9, 1945, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, YosukeYamahata, a photographer serving in the Japanese army, was dispatched to the destroyed city. The hundred or so pictures he took the next day constitute the fullest photographic record of nuclear destruction in existence. Hiroshima, destroyed three days earlier, had largely escaped the camera’s lens in the first day after the bombing. It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically -and, as it happens, with a great and simple artistry –the effects on a human population of a nuclear weapon only hours after it had been used.Some of Yamahata’s pictures show corpses charred in the peculiar way in which a nuclear fireball chars its victims. They have been burned by light –technically speaking, by the “thermal pulse”-and their bodies are often branded with the patterns of their clothes, whose colors absorb light in different degrees. One photograph shows a horse twisted under the cart it had been pulling. Another shows a heap of something that once had beena human being hanging over a ledge into a ditch. A third shows a girl who has somehowsurvived unwounded standing in the open mouth of a bomb shelter and smiling an unearthly smile, shocking us with the sight of ordinary life, which otherwise seems to have been left behind for good in the scenes we are witnessing. Stretching into the distance on all sides are fields of rubble dotted with fires, and, in the background, a view of mountains.We can see the mountains because the city is gone. That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter. The true measure of the event lies not in what remains but in all that has disappeared.2.It took a few seconds for the United States to destroy Nagasaki with the world’s secondatomic bomb, but it took fifty years for Yamahata’s pictures of the event to make the journey back from Nagasaki to the United States. They were shown for the first time in this country in 1995, at the International Center for Photography in New York. Arriving a half-century late, they are still news. The photographs display the fate of a single city, but their meaning is universal, since, in our age of nuclear arms, what happened to Nagasaki can, in a flash, happen to any city in the world. In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own. Nagasaki has always been in the shadow of Hiroshima, as if the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage of the first ruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second. Yet the bombing of Nagasaki is in certain respects the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger that still hangs over us. It is proof that, having once used nuclear weapons, we can use them again. It introduces the idea of a series -the series that, with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons remaining in existence, continues to threaten everyone. (The unpredictable, open-ended character of the series is suggested by the fact that the second bomb originally was to be dropped on the city of Kokura, which was spared Nagasaki’s fate only because bad weather protected it from view.) Each picture therefore seemed not so much an image of something that happened a half-century ago asa window cut into the wall of the photography center showing what soon could easilyhappen to New York. Wherever the exhibit might travel, moreover, the view of threatenedfuture from these “windows” would be roughly accurate, since, although every intact city is different from every other, all cities that suffer nuclear destruction will look much the same.3.Yamahata’s pictures afford a glimpse of the end of the world. Yet in our day, when thechallenge is not just to apprehend the nuclear peril but to seize a God-given opportunity to dispel it once and for all, we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruined Nagasaki -one showing not what we would lose through our failure but what we would gain by our success. What might that picture be, though? How do you show the opposite of the end of the world? Should it be Nagasaki, intact and alive, before the bomb was dropped -or perhaps the spared city of Kokura? Should it be a child, or a mother and child, or perhaps the Earth itself? None seems adequate, for how can we givea definite form to that which can assume infinite forms, namely, the lives of all humanbeings, now and in the future? Imagination, faced with either the end of the world or its continuation, must remain incomplete. Only action can satisfy.4.Once, the arrival in the world of new generations took care of itself. Now, they can comeinto existence only if, through an act of faith and collective will, we ensure their right to exist. Performing that act is the greatest of the responsibilities of the generations now alive.The gift of time is the gift of life, forever, if we know how to receive it.I. Questions1. Why is a view of mountains provided by a picture so significant that it was chosen as the title of the essay? (Paragraph 1)Answer: A view of mountains in the distance rather than the wreckage is meant to remind the viewer of the city that was leveled to the ground by the atomic bomb and of the normal life that would have been going on there. This is where the significance of the picture lies.2. Why are Yamahata’s pictures still news? (Paragraph 2)Answer: Because it was the first time that Americans had ever seen the pictures since the atomic bombing fifty years ago.3. In what way(s) is the bombing of Nagasaki the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger? (Paragraph 2)Answer: The bombing of Nagasaki is regarded as the fitter symbol of the nuclear peril in two respects. First, it is evidence that nuclear weapons can be used again to destroy human civilization. Second, the fact that Nagasaki had not been the originally chosen target of the nuclear attack shows the unpredictability of possible nuclear attacks in the future. That is, every city in the world is liable to nuclear destruction.4. What is the universal meaning of Yamahata’s photos? (Paragraph 3)Answer: They were intended to demonstrate the devastating power of nuclear weapons and express an apprehension of the nuclear peril menacing the world.5. Do Yamahata’s pictures fully express the author’s intention of writing? Why or why not? (Paragraph 3)Answer: No, it only expresses part of it, because the writer intends not only to express his apprehension of the nuclear threat but, more importantly, to call on the people to take actions to banish forever nuclear weaponry from the Earth.II. Words and ExpressionsParagraph 1dispatch: v.send sb. / sth. somewhere, especially for a special purposee.g.Even the air force was mobilized to dispatch relief to the quake-stricken area.The government was preparing to dispatch 4,000 soldiers to search the island.constitute: v.a.

希望英语第二版综合教程3Unit4课文翻译及习题答案

希望英语第二版综合教程3Unit4课文翻译及习题答案焦虑查尔斯·狄更斯说得好:“那既是最美好的时光,也是最难熬的岁月。

”他或许是从学生的角度在描述大学生活。

对许多学生而言,那段日子之所以难熬,一个重要的原因是焦虑。

当然,令人担忧的事情是不少。

想想以下这些问题:为专业选择而困扰,担心是否能够适应社会,担心毕业后的就业问题,对考试感到紧张,担心能否考入研究生院,害怕考试不及格,为朋友少而感到忧虑和孤独,来自家庭的压力和矛盾,担心经济问题,对人生价值、目的和意义的迷茫。

简而言之,许多事情正在发生并且许多事情都处于成败关头。

每个人都有自己独特的方式来处理不安、担忧和焦虑。

许多消极的处理方式(如酗酒、吸毒、暴食或大学校园里常见的其他饮食紊乱行为、发怒、疏远室友或朋友等等)可以被认为是应付焦虑的种种尝试。

即使这些策略最终都有伤害性,每个人在感到焦虑时,运用这些策略正是为了有效地控制自己的情绪,明白这一点很重要。

控制自己的情绪是一种基本需要,这种意图应始终受到尊重。

然而,如果所采取的方法行不通或者只在短期内有效,那么可能需要学习更有效的方法来应对焦虑。

精神分析法创始人西格蒙德·弗洛伊德将焦虑视为人在体验某种感觉时的一个信号,这种感觉在某些方面可被认为是对自己幸福感的一种威胁。

他进而认为,这种感觉能刺激人预期孤立无助的到来。

因此,将焦虑视为“反馈”是重要的,它有助于我们找到应对焦虑的方法。

实际上,如果能让我们正在体验的焦虑说话,它也许会说:“注意,有重要事情在发生。

”而人们并不总能轻易看出这件“事情”是什么,尤其是自己。

这正是心理辅导发挥作用之处。

心理顾问是精通“焦虑语言”的专业人士,能帮助你更有效地控制情绪。

采取有效对策,对你现在和将来的生活都会产生重大影响,关键的第一步是理解焦虑的含义。

这些对策可能包括,培养新的行为习惯、用新的方式来理解和体验情感以及用新的方式来思考人生。

对一些学生而言,焦虑的感觉有时是如此强烈以致于他们会陷入恐慌,无法恰当地应付日常生活中的各种事情。

一.背诵In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitler's military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact. Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams. We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet. At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four "atomic clocks," which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detected by a receiver in a car's computer. The car's computer can then calculate how far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive. Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellite's signal can be converted into a distanceWhen a recent college graduate came into my office not too long ago looking for a sales job, I asked him what he had done to prepare for the interview. He said he'd read something about us somewhere.Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he'd be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, bo th see their identity as a matter of personal choice,not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are DavosMen, members of the interna tional business élite who trek eachyear to the Swiss Alpine town for th e annual meeting of theWorld Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder andMandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, jou rnalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars forfive days of netw orking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from p ost-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable diffe rences,most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief:that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technologyacross national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable. Theysee the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in w hich corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, pr oduce and sell their goods andservices.For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I do not know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than fivefeet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.Though his offices were in Kobe, Burton often came down to Yokohama.I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there, waiting fora ship, and I was introduced to him at the British Club. We played bridge together. He played a good game and a generous one. He did not talk very much, either then or later when we were having drinks, but what he said was sensible. He had a quiet, dry humor. He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards, when he had gone, they described him as one of the best. It happened that we were both staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him. I met his wife, fat, elderly, and smiling, and his two daughters. It was evidently a united and affectionate family.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.As Godbey points out, the stress we feel arises not from a shortage of time, but from the surfeit of things we try to cram into it. "It's the kid in the candy store," he says. "There's just so many good things to do. The array of choices is stunning. Our free time is increasing, but not as fast as our sense of the necessary.A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it.Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities with limited communications. Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to know everything that was to be known, see everything that was to be seen, and do everything that was to be done. Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same. But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aimIt is not more time we need: it is fewer desires. We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves. We need to buy less, read less and travel less. We need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.二.课后翻译1.Mr.Doherty and his family are currently engaged in gettingthe autumn harvest in on the farm. 多尔蒂先生和他的家人目前正在农场忙于秋收。
