1401320*** *** Lee Kuan Yew Singapore’s stern and brilliant founding father The original: Milestones --Singaporean leader Lee Kuan Yew dies-TIME April 6, 2015Before Lee Kuan Yew 's death, I almost know nothing about him. However, there are large number of media reports on him recently. I want to know why, so I choose the report. But in this report, did not describe much about his feats, Just a few small things, The emotions of ordinary people , Family responsibility and so on. Overseas, Lee was largely seen as a statesman—“legendary” (Barack Obama), “brilliant” (Rupert Murdoch),“never wrong” (Margaret Thatcher). Upon his death, a chorus of world leaders paid tribute to him. Yet when he talked about the illnesses and deaths of loved ones, Lee allowed himself a moment of vulnerability: his eyes welled up. Lee even sweated the small stuff. Citizens were told to flush public toilets. Most kinds of chewing gum were banned. So, In my opinion, he's more like a safe person.I consulted a lot of information about him on the Internet. Lee Kuan Yew Born in Singapore on September 16, 1923, became the longest-serving prime minister in world history，rose through the ranks of his country's political system before becoming the first prime minister of Singapore on June 5, 1959. Lee 's main achievement: He transformed Singapore a colonial trading post into a prosperous financial center with clean streets, shimmering skyscrapers and a stable government, and led Singapore towards a better country with peace, harmony and democracy. Singapore’s per capita GNP is now higher than that of its erstwhile colonizer, Great Britain. It has the world’s busiest port, is the third-largest oil refiner and a major center of global manufacturing and service industries. His brand of capitalism -- which stresses the role of government rather than the free hand of the market -- has provided a blueprint for China's landmark economic reforms. "This is one of the legendary figuresof Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries," U.S. President Barack Obama said. Lee was also a divisive figure, The government has restricted freedom of speech, freedom of the press and has limited other civil and political rights.in my opinion，He is very persistent and had contributed a lot to Singapore, He stood firm to his beliefs ，He looked at things wisely and firmly，he was also greatly admired by a lot of people, we can learn a lot from him.Milestones --Singaporean leader Lee Kuan Yew dies-TIME April 6, 2015it was the fall of 2005, and lee kuan Yew had been engaged in a nearly five hour interview with Time over two days. The conversation turned to family and friends, and faith as a source of strength in the face of adversity. “I would not score very highly on religious value,” said Lee, then 82, still in good health. Yet when he talked about the illnesses and deaths of loved ones, Lee allowed himself a moment of vulnerability: his eyes welled up.Emotional is not a word associated with the hardheaded, severe and disciplined Lee. Neither, seemingly, is mortal—Lee was so enduring a public figure for so long that he appeared to transcend impermanence. But in recent years a mellowing Lee openly broached the subject of dying: he felt himself growing weaker with age, he said, and wanted to go quickly when the time came.The time was 3:18 a.m. on March 23, when the 91-year-old Lee, Singapore’s Prime Minister for three decades, died in the 50th year of independence of the citystate that he molded into one of the most sophisticated places on the planet. His nation mourned his passing. “He inspired us, gave us courage, kept us together and brought us here,” said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Lee’s son. “He ... made us proud to be Singaporeans.”Lee’s life traced a long arc of modern East Asian history, with the last vestiges of colonialism, the advent of affluence, the introduction of democracy (albeit flawed and limited), the spread of globalization, the decline of Japan and the rise of China, and now the retreat to nationalism. He was not so much an architect of change—his stage, Singapore, was, perhaps regrettably for him, too small to be a global player—as an observer of the way of the world, from nation building to geopolitics to terrorism and everything in between. Overseas, Lee was largely seen as a statesman—“legendary” (Barack Obama), “brilliant” (Rupert Murdoch),“never wrong” (Margaret Thatcher). Upon his death, a chorus of world leaders paid tribute to him.But at home Lee was above all the man in charge. His ethos was both broad and narrow, often controversial and always trenchant. Government required a long reach. Economic development needed to precede democracy, and even then, civil liberties should be restricted and dissent monitored, even curtailed. The community trumped the individual. “Asian values” is what Lee and his ilk called their credo.Although Singapore holds open elections and Lee’s party always won big-partly because it delivered, partly because it commanded the most resources—he was not always a fan of democracy. “[Its]exuberance leads to undisciplined and disorderly conditions which are inimical to development,” he said. “The ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps ... improve the standard of living for the majority of its people.”Whether Lee intended it or not, his template for Singapore became a model for many authoritarian governments that saw its success as an example of how prosperity could be achieved while controlling freedom.Lee even sweated the small stuff. Citizens were told to flush public toilets. Most kinds of chewing gum were banned. Spitters were heavily fined, and for some offenses, authorities inflicted caning as punishment. Tha t some of Lee’s social strictures drew mockery or censure abroad mattered little to him. The de facto covenant was this: Singapore’s officials would run the city-state effectively and cleanly, and in return its people would toe the line. “If Singapore is a nanny state, then I am proud to have fostered one,” Lee unapologetically wrote in his memoirs.Today Singapore is not as tightly wound as before. Its citizens are more vocal and the government more responsive to their grievances. But such burdens of office are no longer for Lee. No-nonsense to the end, he didn’t overthink his legacy.“I am not given to making sense out of life, or coming up with some grand narrative of it,” he wrote in 2013. “I have done what I had wanted to, to the best of my ability. I am satisfied.” So passes the man from Singapore, who became a man of his time. —zoher abdoolcarim and neel chowdhury。

《英语报刊阅读》作业练习1Assignment 1Read the following passage and answer the questions：Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year‟s figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non—compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year,only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficultiesGuidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992Reading ComprehensionAnalyze the ideas and relationships.

It was divided into the “have” nations, and the many more “have-not” nations. Put another way, there was the “First World” and the “Third World”. Everyone knew which countries fit into the former category. They were the wealthy powers, which had big steel plants, shipyards and lots of automobiles. When Mao Zedong tried to propel China into the front ranks in the late 1950s, he naturally stressed steel plants, even backyard ones.In recent decades, many Asian countries have joined the “haves”. Certainly, by most standards, places like Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are rich. But just as it seems that they might relax and say they have it made, they are suddenly faced with a new challenge: the economic rules have changed. The emerging divide is no longer between the traditional haves and have-nots, but between those nations that are wired and those that are not. Of course, the developed countries already have the edge: Singapore, with a population of 4 million, has more than 500,000 computers, while Vietnam with 80 million people, possesses only 6,000 machines.As the competition intensifies to excel in information technology, the division will likely widen. And as more individual Asians catch up with, or even surpass, Western counterparts in terms of IT skills---such as e-commerce, computer development and Internet use, many more will be left behind. This is the test that the region‟s governments, think-tanks and private businesses must grapple with. Microsoft mogul Bill Gates may dream of everyone being able to log onto the Internet (using his software), but for most Asians, that aspiration will remain a reverie for a long time.“The pursuit of wealth is now largely the pursuit of information and its application to production,” former Citibank chairman Walter Wriston once observed. “The rules, customs, skills and talents necessary to uncover, capture, produce, preserve and exploit information are now humankind‟s most important assets.”That neatly encapsulates the world‟s new divide: between those who make, or at least can make use of, technology and information, and those without such capabilities. It is another way of saying that to become a player in the global economy, participation in IT is essential.The new divide is not just between nations, but also among regions within countries. In Thailand, bright children in Bangkok private schools are moving beyond word-processing and sending e-mail. But upcountry, it can be a struggle just getting a computer into a classroom and then it is shared by many pupils. Often, the teachers are as ignorant of new IT developments as their charges. Some parts of India are hotbeds of software development and application, yet huge swathes of the country together with Pakistan, Bangladesh and many other areas of Asia are electronic deserts.In important ways, corporations are already being measured according to whether they are connected or not. Witness the dizzying stock valuations of the former type, while even blue chipsamong the latter lag notably behind. Indeed, in Asia as elsewhere, zooming “dot-com” shares have been sucking up valuable capital resources, just as rich countries were traditionally accused of draining the same from poorer ones. Yet many mainline companies-manufacturers, retailers and property developers are becoming part of the wired world. The key is learning how to use technology profitably, and not necessarily how to produce it.Fortunately, closing the “IT divide” should prove a less formidable task than narrowing the old rich-poor gap. The world, after all, is not dealing in this case with finite resources. A big part of the solution would be simply to get more computers and other IT appliances into the hands of users, and to make them even easier to use. The machines are much less expensive than, say, rockets and tanks, which governments seem fully able to fund. Asia‟s goal, as South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has stated for his country, should be to get a computer and Internet connection into every classroom.But it is not enough just to supply the hardware. More attention must be paid to the education of users, particularly children. Computers literacy may be a given in the most advanced parts of Asia, but in Kathmandu, for example, government-run schools have to make do with a mere 100 machines among them. And it Nepal, as in some other Asian nations, more than half of the children never even get to see the inside of a classroom, let alone log on.Nor can the more wired communities become complacent. Most Singapore and Hong Kong schoolchildren may know how to browse the Web and use a word-processor. But as the technology revolution accelerates, even the advanced countries need to upgrade their IT skills continually. Hong Kong, among others, is attempting to transform itself into a center of high technology, in the process broadening its economic base beyond traditional businesses. Yet even with the return of prosperity, say local authorities, unemployment will stay significantly above 1990s levels simply because not enough people have the technology-related skills demanded by the newly created jobs. That is a revealing measure of the challenge Asia faces.1.In the news story, “haves” refer to _______________ nations, and “have-nots” refer to____________ nations.2.The traditional “have” nations were those that had _____________ , _________________and__________________.3.The new challenge facing Asia‟s “have” nations is__________________________________.4.The emerging divide is between those nations that are wired and those that are not.

What is the most important thing for mainline corporations in the wired world to do?9. What is the solution to the problem of “IT divides”, according to the writer?10.According to the writer, closing the “IT divide” should be ea sier than narrowing the oldrich-poor gap. Why is it so?11.Why unemployment will become a problem in Hong Kong when it is trying to become acenter of high technology?Assignment 3I. Translate the following into Chinese: (20%)WASHINGTON, Sept. 23---The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the people‟s house”, has been turning into a rich man‟s club.The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based on the members‟ financial reports.Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.II. Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: Example: Italian Ex-Mayor Murdered---An Italian Ex-Mayor Is Murdered1.Qian to sign test-ban treaty at UN assembly2.More areas open to overseas investors3.Israeli PM on European tour4.Big power project due to launch in Guangxi5. Alaskan Oil for Japan?Assignment 4Endangered Trade(The Asian Wall Street Journal, Mar., 1999)Such is the special relationship between America and its NATO partners that while that alliance cooperates to bomb Serbian forces, the U.S. and the EU are managing a trade war against each other. Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It‟s hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalating their battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to phony science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing …level even if playing fields,‟torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn‟t drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe‟s banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this, renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for …a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.‟ In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don‟t like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs …saved‟by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawley agricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we‟ve never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:1. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.2. ( ) It‟s very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.3. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.4. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one‟s health.5. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.6. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.7. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia andBrazil.8 .( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.9. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.10. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.。

英美报刊选读一、教学目的通过本课程的学习,使学员对英美报刊有一个清晰的了解,认识英美报刊语言、文体、词汇、语法等基本特点,掌握英美报刊阅读的基本知识及技巧,为独立阅读英美报刊打下良好的基础;二、教材特点与该课程旧教材第1版相比,本教材具有以下特点：1．为使学生改变以往依赖教师和英汉词典的学习习惯,培养他们独自排解疑难词语的能力,编者不但向他们推荐工具书,并教授他们使用方法；为使他们能加深对词汇的记忆,还介绍词法和重要词根及词缀;2．为使学生掌握必要的新闻词语和扩大词汇量,本书在“新闻词语解说”中尽量结合课文,讲透疑难词语;此外还列出一些与这些词语或课文内容有关的课外词汇;3．为使学生掌握必要的读报知识,本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文,介绍重要的并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等,并举例说明其重要性;4．为使学生对新闻写作有一个大致的认识,加深对课文的理解,编者较系统地说明标题的若干特点,对新闻体裁的分类、导语和写作特点及常语等做了简介;三、教学内容英美报刊选读为省开课程;1．授课内容：重点为第1、3、4、5、6、8、13、15、17、19、20、21、24、28、30课共15课,其它内容主要供自学;2．课时安排：a 学员自学：2学时/周,共30学时学完15课;b面授辅导：4学时/次,共4次;每学时辅导一课,最后一学时复习;3．作业：共四次,在湖北电大网站英语本科网页上下载,课后完成,交辅导教师批改,评分,作为平时成绩的主要依据;学员完成作业后,可浏览网页上的“答案及详解”,以加深理解,检查自己掌握的情况四、教学建议教师授课时应以学生为中心,鼓励学生自己去探索和获取知识;在上课时,可要求学生先回答每课后的练习题—— Questions,使他们基本了解课文的主要内容;然后,再逐段或跳跃式选段对学生需要掌握的内容、新闻词语和背景知识进行阅读和问答式方式讲解;如果备课充分,学生的英语水平又高,教员可采用美英教员教授母语的方法,抛开课本或讲义,只讲有关课文的重点词语、背景知识和写作手法等;这样,学生除预习外,课后还要结合教员在课堂上所讲的内容好好复习课文;这两种授课方式的好处是,使学生通过自学指预习和教师的指导,自己主动去掌握知识;与以教员为中心的灌输式教学方式相比,学生更能巩固所学,并使他们今后更能发挥学习潜能;此外,这也使有的教员摆脱了那种课文注释那么详细而觉得在课堂上没有多少可讲的被动地位和局面;当然,这只是本人的实践和看法;我相信在调动学生主动学习的积极性方面还有更多、更好的教学法;五.考试说明“英美报刊选读”期末考试题型介绍1．报刊名称及常见报刊词汇英译汉：十小题,每题2分,共20分内容以辅导书的附录为主.2．阅读理解：2篇文章,选自作业题,选择题或判断题,共40分;3．阅读与翻译：一篇文章,选自教材重点课目练习,共40分;1．问答题：20分; 2.段落英译汉：20分;六.课程辅导英美报刊选读辅导一Newspapers and HeadlinesDo you have the habit of reading newspapers in EnglishWhat newspapers do you like to readThe following is a list of the major newspapers in Britain and the United States.●The major newspapers in BritainDailies SundaysThe Times News of the WorldThe Guardian The ObserverFinancial Times The Sunday PeopleThe Daily Telegraph Sunday MirrorDaily Express The Sunday TelegraphDaily Mail The Sunday TimesDaily Mirror●The major daily newspapers in the United StatesNew York Times USA TodayWashington Post Chicago Daily TribuneLos Angeles Times Detrolt NewsWall Street Journal New York Daily NewsChristian Science MonitorNewspapers ,along with reporting the news ,instruct ,entertain, and give opinions.

It almost always gives you the story's main topic and most important facts. When you read a newspaper lead sentence, try to find the subject and main verb and note how the rest of the sentence adds information to the subject and main verb.Anwar Sadat Assassinated at Cairo Military ReviewCAIRO,October7-Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, a modern-day pharaoh who attempted to lead the Arab world toward a permanent Mideast peace with Isreal, was assassinated yesterday by a band of soldiers who attacked a military parade reviewing stand with automatic rifles and hand grenades.Note that a great deal of information is included in a single writer has organized the sentence around the subjectEgyptian President Anwar Sadatand main verbwas assassinate very carefully.The lead sentence usually does the following:●Answers questions such as “who”“what”“where” “when”“result”●Adds background to help you better understand the story orState where the source of the story comes from.英美报刊选读辅导四Read the News StoryIn most news stories the most important facts will be found near the beginning-usually within the first two or three remainder of the story will give details explaining and clarifying the main points,or introducing new,but less important information.The following is a formula for a typical news story;●Paragraph OneThe story's subject and most important facts.●Paragraph TwoImportant facts that the writer was unable to include in the lead;Information to clarify the facts in the lead;A particularly important quote.●The rest of the storySpecific details to answer readers' questions;Statements and opinions by people involved in the story or by outside observers;Background information;New,but less important facts.Accordingly, when you read a news story, you are to:●Read the beginning of the story very carefully because it containsthe most important fact.●Try to look for more facts than those given in the lead.●If you don't understand something at the beginning of a story, keep reading for a secondand perhaps a third chance to understand.英美报刊选读辅导五Reading the Feature Story in a NewspaperIn most news stories the main points come very early and less impotant information comes is another kind of story_the feature story which follows a different format,the feature format.Popular Magazines and Magazine ArticlesReading popular magazines is a good way to enlarge our vocabulary and learn a little bit about many topics in following is a list of major magazines in Britain and the United States.●Magazines in BritainThe Economist Britain TodayThe Spectator Contemporary ReviewNew Statesman London MagazineNew Scientist Observer ReviewThe Listener PunchBritish Weekly●Magazines in the United StatesTime US News & World ReportNewsweek Reader's DigestLife Business WeeklyFortune Harper'sPeople American ReviewThe New YorkerVery often we read magazines while traveling or relaxing of magazine articles do not expect their audience to spend too much time reading and try to make the main ideas stand out clearly. The task for the reader is to locate these main ideas quickly.Popular magazine writers use various devices to capture a reader's attention:clever titles,short paragraphs and compound nouns to economize on in magazine often have characteristics similar to those found in news stories or articles found in are some feautures of magazine articles:●An introductory paragraph summarize the main idea;●The details are given in the rest of the articles;●The author's view of the subject is directed to a particular audience butmay interest readers in general.英美报刊选读辅导六Reading AdvertisementsMost magazines and newspapers contain advertisements that are designed to make us want the want us to believe that their product is important for a good life. Some advertisements even present viewpoints ontimely newspaper ads try to influence the reader's opinions.The language of advertising must be a language of immediate impact and rapid persuasion. No one is likely to spend much time deciding whether to read a printed advertisement or listen to a spoken one:If their attention is not attracted immediately and held firmly for the short amount of time necessary to absorb what is being said. Then the advertisement will have miserably. So the advertising language uses a basically simple grammatical structure and a richly suggestive and descriptive vocabulary.Read the following ad.Only the cream of the crop filesOur chefs buy only the freshest and most expensive ingredients for our kitchens.Anywhere.Because they believe that good food really is the way to a person's heart.Obviously, there are many who would agree.In fact, experienced travelers have rewarded Swissair with the greatest percentage of repeat business.Which is not something we take lightly.Because travelers who fly more, expect more.So our chefs prepare five gourmet selections for every flight. Plus any one of 15 different special meals on request:Hindu,Kosher,Moslem,diabetic,slat-free,vegetarian,dietetic…you name it.Only the best will please Swissair passengers.The cream of the crop.Swissair has worldwide departures from New York, Boston, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto.Call Swissair of your travel expertSWISSAIRIn the above ad, a great deal is said in a few words. We see short sentences, vivid language, and many informal, popular expressions. They appeal to all of the senses.When you read an advertisement, you may:●Look for the hidden message; the way in which an advertiser uses words and pictures to influence readers opinions and attitudes.●Read between the lines for meanings implied rather than clearly stated.●Find the source of its appeal to the senses.。

)The avalanche struck a perilous passage called the Khumbu Icefall, which is riddled with crevasses and piled with serac - or huge chunks of ice - that can break free without warning."We were tied on a rope and carrying gas to camp when there was a sudden hrrrr sound," said Ang Kami Sherpa, 25, one of at least three survivors flown by helicopter to Kathmandu. "We knew it was an avalanche but we couldn't run away or do anything. "There was a big chunk of snow that fell over us and swept us away. It looked like clouds, all white," he said in a hospital intensive care unit where he was being treated for a blood clot on his leg and facial injuries.Climbers declared a four-day halt to efforts to scale the8,848-metre (29,029-ft) summit and, while some decided to abandon their mission, others said they would go ahead after talking to their guides. All of the victims were sherpa mountain guides."Everyone is shaken here at Base Camp，some climbers are packing up and calling it quits, they want nothing to do with this," Tim Rippel of Peak Freaks Expeditions wrote in a blog. Dawa Tashi Sherpa lies on the bed of the Intensive Care Unit at Grandi International Hospital after he was rescued and airlifted from the avalanche site at Mount Everest in Kathmandu April 18, 2014.

Mitt Romney:say cheese
It seems, Mr Romney is assured of the Republican nomination. Mr Gingrich’s campaign is all but over and he has no chance of causing an upset at the party convention in August, with fewer than 200 delegates in his camp of the 2,286 on offer. Mr Santorum says he will go on and on, but he faces a big test on April 24th when five states vote, including delegate-rich New York and Mr Santorum’s home state of Pennsylvania (if he can’t make it there he can’t make it anywhere). In a subtle acknowledgment that he can count on the certainty of Mr Romney being his opponent, Mr Obama has stepped up the rhetoric over the past few days. The battle lines for the autumn’s presidential election are steadily being etched out.

Read the following statements and decide whether they are true (T) or false (F).True: 1、4、5、8False: 2、3、6、7作业（2）Keys:1. Give the definition of the following terms.1) featurea prominent or special article, story, or department in anewspaper or periodical.2) editorialan article in a publication expressing the opinion of its editors or publishers.3) op-edof or being a newspaper page, usually opposite the editorial page, that features signed articles expressing personalviewpoints4) inverted pyramidThe inverted pyramid is a traditional form of writing in which the news is stacked in paragraphs in order of descending importance. The lead summarizes the principal items of a news event. The second paragraph and each succeeding paragraph contain secondary or supporting details in order of decreasing significance. All the paragraphs in the story contain newsworthy information, but each paragraph is less vital than the one before it. Inverted-pyramid form puts the climax of a story at the beginning, in the lead.5) leadA lead is a terse opening paragraph that provides the gist of thestory and invites readers inside.2. What is the difference between hard news and soft news? Hard news events, such as killings, and speeches by leading government officials, are timely and are reported almost automatically by the media. Soft news events, such as a car wash by a fourth-graders to raise money for a classmate with cancer, are not usually considered immediately important or timely to a wide audience. These events still contain elements of news, however, and the media often report them.3. What is the difference between news and features?A news story emphasizes the facts of the event, while the feature displaces the facts to accommodate the human interest of the story.4. What are the major criteria for newsworthiness?ProximityProminenceTimelinessImpactConflict and ControversyUniquenessHuman interest5. What are the principles of news writing?News writing tends to be:1. Impersonal to make it appear objective (to distance thereporter from the story) hence:– Written in the third person– Use of direct speech or indirect speech which is attributed to someone other than the reporter,– Some use of passive verbs but usually only when someone who is being quoted wants to distancethemselves from an issue and to show objectively about n issue.2. About something that has taken place so mostly written in thepast tense.3. Simple – In fact close to the way we talk –relatively shortsentences and words and some use of clichés which the whole audience understand.4. Punchy –it must g rab the reader’s attention so often uses:– short rather than long words– active verbs– relatively short sentences– concrete rather than abstract vocabulary– sometimes emotive and colorful vocabulary– some use (but not overuse) of adjectives5. But also relatively formal hence:– no use of contractions– sentences written in full (no elision) or elliptical sentences6. sometimes imagery is used to help create a clearer mentalpicture for the reader.7. often including the reporter’s by-line and/or a date-line6. Read the following headlines and analyze the features ofthe language they use.a) More Iraqis Said to Flee Since Troop RiseWhen passive voice is used in headlines, “to be” is always omitted. Here “are” in “More Iraqis are said to flee…” is omitted. Nouns and noun phrases are often used in headlines to save space. Noun phrases which actually express actions or state are heavily used, and they are derived from verb phrases in order to make the sentences more compact and save space without lowe ring the amount of information conveyed. Instead of “since the troop rises”, noun phrase “troop rise” is used.b) Insurgent raid kills 22 villagersMost headlines use the present tense-despite the fact that they generally describe past events. The present tense gives the subject a sense of freshness and immediacy, making it more intere sting to read. Instead of using “killed”, “kills” is used to describe what happened in the past. Besides, the article “An” in “an insurgent raid” is omitted.c) Bangladesh Sets Curfew To Curb Student ProtestsShort words (i.e. midget words) are often used to conserve space in headlines, for example, “curb” in this headline. Besides, present tense “sets” is used to describe a past event.d) Storm Death Toll in Midwest Climbs1. Compact noun phrases are often used in headlines to save space.2. Most headlines use the present tense-despite the fact that they generally describe past events.e) Wall Street slightly lower as credit worries lingerRhetoric devices often used in the writing of newspaper headlines.In this headline, Wall Street refers to the stock exchange, which is a metonymy. Another rhetoric device used here is rhyme (Correspondence of terminal sounds of words or of lines of verse), as we find in lower and linger.f) China launches crackdown on inferior goods, unsafe foodIn order to conserve space in headlines, comma is sometimes used to replace “and”.g) China to become U.S. third largest export market by yearendIn phrase headlines, infinitives are sometimes used to indicate a future action or event.7. What do the following abbreviations and acronyms stand for?1) CPPCC Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference 中国人民政治协商会议2) NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration (美国)国家航空和宇宙航行局3) IMF International Monetary Fund 国际货币基金组织4) WHO World Health Organization 世界卫生组织5) DJI Dow-Jones Index 道·琼斯指数6) PM prime minister首相；总理7.

Throughout the 1990s, Congress and the states took a muchtougher approach to programs such as unemployment insurance, welfare, Medicaid, and food stamps than they did in earlier decades.10. Many part-time and temporary workers are more likely to bearthe brunt of a job drought because many companies lay them off first.11. Many states will be under pressure to tighten up eligibility ruleseven further because they have allowed their unemploymentinsurance reserve funds to run down in recent years, when the good times seemed to make them less urgent. With unemployment rising again, fewer workers are paying into the system just as more former workers need to take money out. 12. The safety net could still suffer a strain because a growing glut of low-skilled workers means wages at the bottom are likely to sink.Lesson 23Answers to the questions1. B2. C3. A4. C13. School dropout rates are lower, especially forAfrican-Americans. High school students are taking more challenging courses. Girls are closing the gender gap by taking more rigorous math and science classes. SAT scores are up from two decades ago. More and more kids are going to college.14. The way society viewed teens shifted dramatically around thetime of the Great Depression. Before then, teens worked and were considered virtually grown up. But facing a workplace without jobs, Depression youth turned to education as a consolation prize. As high school attendance rolls swelled, the status of teens as full-fledged members of society declined. Now that they were students rather than workers, they came to seem younger than before.15. What’s distinctly different for today’s teenagers, experts say, isthe level of cultural negativity they’re exposed to, from theover-the-top sexuality in advertising, television, and film, to the prevalence of gun violence and family dysfunction. Their exposure to risk is so far beyond what other generations have dealt with.16. Family plays a very important role in helping children overcomethe stresses. Kids who feel connected to home, family, and school are better protected from violence, suicide, sexual activity, and substance abuse. Adolescents also fare better if their parents are home as key times of the day. And teens whose parents had high expectations about school also reported fewer emotional problems, such as suicide attempts or depression.Additional Reading1. The 2005 survey found that about three out of four companies regularly track which websites their employees visit. More than half use surveillance software to scour office e-mail (looking for hot-button keywords like sex in the subject line or body of messages). More than a third extend their snooping to monitor how much time workers spend at the computer, record their keystrokes or log their downloads. And one in four companies reports firing someone for improper e-mail use.2. Heidi Arace and Norma Yetsko distributed via office e-mail what they thought was fun to share, which their bosses found offensive enough. As a result, the two longtime workers were fired.3. Reasons why companies monitor their workers’ computer use include:- to see to it that workers waste less time online and work more efficiently;- to avoid legal trouble;- to guarantee the security;- to avoid the leakage of sensitive information.4. Companies are using two types of spying software: network-based programs that monitor all traffic passing through a system, and programs that sit directly on an employee’s desktop.5. They should know the company’s computer-use policy and comply with it. They should assume they’re being monitored, and behave accordingly. They should never bad-mouth the company online. They should not use personal e-mail accounts or post to a blog. They should avoid transmitting any message that could embarrass themselves or others if made public. They should not think instant messaging is less permanent than e-mail. When surfing the Web, they should never click on something flagged NSFW (not safe for work).作业六：文艺体育、企业经济、社会问题Lesson 28Answers to the questions1. C2. A3. B4. A5.

The key issue is the contrast between Enron’s forecasts for its Internet business and the reality of the division’s multiplying problems last year.6. He predicted that broadband would add $40 a share to Enron’s stock price over the next few years.7. According to Skilling the company was caught by surprise by the sudden collapse of the Internet content delivery market that Enron had hoped to turn into a profitable arena for trading.8. Because Enron was not welcomed either by the dominant regional telephone companies or cable companies, each of which had their own strategies for high-speed Internet business.Lesson 34Answers to the questions1.

The data show that roughly half of the gang members hadbeen involved in a drive-by shooting, 80% carried a concealed weapon and 50% reported taking guns to school.7. Successful intervention programs must aim at boys at this stage.8. The author believes that the society can help some of the gang members to turn over a new leaf by offering them decent regular jobs. One if four gang members said that they would quit the business for a regular wage of $6-7 an hour.Additional Reading1. He shot and killed two people about 7:20 a.m. in West Ambler Johnston Hall.
