新人教版 Book 4 Unit 2 Working the Land 课文
Unit 2 Working the landPart I a Pioneer for all PeopleAlthough he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping consider s himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggle d for the past five decade s. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same field s. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduate d from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan search ed for a way to increase rice harvest s without expand ing the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produce d. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tool s in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn’t care about being famous. He feel s it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time for his hobbies. He enjoy s listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spend ing money on himself or lead ing a comfortable life also means very little to him. Indeed, he believe s that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer trouble s. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dream ing for things, however, cost s nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dream about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Part II Chemical or Organic Farming?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcome d them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production. Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers can cause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage the land by kill ing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This affect s crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be wash ed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up in people’s bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetable s and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamin s and mineral s.With these discover ies, some farmers and many customer s are beginning to turn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduce s disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other method s to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important mineral s back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different level s of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the ground’s surface followed by vegetables that put down deep root s. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carry ing away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year’s crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid damaging the environment or people’s health.。

Book 4 Unit 2 Part D 听力原文Section A1. M: Good morning, Madam, could you tell me how old you are?W: Well, I don’t remember, doctor, but I will try to think. When I married, I was eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now, my husband is seventy, I know.Q: How old is the lady?2. W: Hey, have you heard about this? The film star, Janice, was followed by paparazzi all the time. Isn’t it terrible?M: Everyone’s got a right to some privacy, but if you want to be famous, you have to accept the press and the media.Q: What does the man mean?3. W: How did you like the president’s speech tonight?M: Unfortunately I got home too late to watch it.Q: What are the two speakers talking about?4. W: I’ve noticed that you haven’t been talking to your roommate lately.M: It is supposed to be private, but you’ve got that right. And it’ s g oing to be a long time before I feel comfortable with him again.Q: What does the man mean?5. W: So, what did you think about the discussion at lunch? I didn’t realize people have such strong feelings about privacy.M: Are you kidding? That subject always touches a nerve.Q: What does the man mean?6. M: So, you and Julia are no longer roommates. I’m not surprised. Y ou two never did things very compatible.W: Yeah. Well, it’s not that we didn’t get along. We just didn’t have much in common.Q: What can be inferred about the woman?7. W: So how did you make out with your private German lessons last month? Any improvement? M: Let’s just say it was money down the drain.Q: What does the man mean?8. M: I can’t seem to find my calculator. Did I lend it to you by any chance?W: No, but you are welcome to use mine if you want, as long as I get it back by Thursday.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation 1M: Good morning, Professor Harkens. I hope I am not disturbing you.W: Not at all, Tom. Come right in. I’m always in my office in the morning.M: I thought I’d get an early start on my research paper and would like to discuss my topic withyou if you have a moment.W: Of course. I recommend that all my students should discuss their topics with me before they begin their research. What do you want to work on?M: I was especially interested in your lecture on dinosaurs and the apparent mystery surrounding their extinction. I’d like to explore that question, but I’m not too sure how to go about it.W: Well, according to the most widely held theory, the dinosaurs died out because of the sudden cooling of the earth’s temperature. Y our textbook summarizes the conclusion of several paleontologists on this point.M: Didn’t you also mention a second theory in your lecture? That dinosaurs may simply have been replaced by mammals gradually and might not die out as a direct response to the cool weather?W: Y es. V an V ellen and Sloan are proponents of this theory. And I’ve put some of their articles on reserve in the library.M: V an V ellen and Sloan? I’d better write that down.W: Let me know how your work progresses, Tom. If you should run into any problems, be sure to stop by again.9. Who are the two speakers?10. What is the main focus of Tom’s research?11. Who most likely are V an V ellen and Sloan?Conversation 2W: Hew! This rowing is hard work. Let’s have the boat toward the old lighthouse now.M: Good idea. We can rest there for a while and eat our lunch. Then we can climb to the top platform where the light is before we visit the museum at the base of the lighthouse tower.W: Whenever I came out here, I thought about the family who used to live on the little island and take care of the light every night. What a lonely life that must have been!M: Y eah, to help ships find their way along shoreline, at night, they had to constantly make sure that the windows up around the light were clean and free of ice and snow.W: Dirty soot must have be en a problem. Didn’t they burn candles up there?M: This one used to have a kerosene lamp. But they changed over to electricity around 1920, I think.W: In New Port, Rode Island, people talked about a woman who was a lighthouse keeper for over 50 years. Ida Louise was her name. She saved a lot of people from dying in ship wrecks.M: Was her lighthouse out on an island like this one?W: On one even smaller and further from land. In stormy weathers, it was pretty dangerous for small boats.M: I understand the United States Coast Guard takes care of the most modern lighthouses.W: Y eah, but the light is automatic nowadays. The lighthouse is still a friendly sight at night though.M: Here we are. This lighthouse is the friendliest sight I’ve seen today. I’m exha usted.12. What are the people doing?13. What was a major problem for every lighthouse keeper?14. Why was Ida Louise famous?15. How does the man feel at the end of the conversation?Section BPassage 1More and more electronic devices and services in our daily life mean we have too many passwords and numbers to remember. Passwords help us protect our wealth and privacy; however, they also bring us a lot of troubles.Every day I need to remember much useless information. Every morning I turn on my cellphone — it needs a password. I get to work and I have to have access to my computer with a password. Like many people in Britain, I have two bank accounts. One needs a five-digit number and a password; the other needs a six-digit number and a memorable place name. I have an online savings account that needs a different password from the password for my bank account.Even if you never use a computer, you can be hit by the password overload. Look in your wallet. Y ou probably carry four or five credit cards. In these days of chip and pin, these are virtually useless if you do not have the magic four-digit numbers. The banks tell you not to have the same number for all your cards. Give me a break. Am I going to carry five different random four-digit numbers in my head? After all, I’m not Good Will Hunting.I’ve tried systems to help me remember —such as using the names of favorite films or members of my extended family; but none seems to work. So what is the solution?16. What do passwords bring to us?17. Which of the following does NOT need a password?18. What has the speaker tried to do to remember his passwords?Passage 2Internet is threatening our privacy. In the past, if a shop manager wanted to know you better, he had to rely on a good memory for detail. They came out from behind the counter to give you personalized service, browsed the shelves with you and made recommendations.In this digital marketplace, the “shop manager” may actually be a machine. It searches in its memory of information about you, analyzes it and creates a clear portrait of what you are likely to buy and do in the future. Not all companies approach personalization in the same way. For some websites, the approach is direct: they ask you to take a survey about what you like, and then make offers that match your interests. Another way is through IP addresses, the electronic place from which you browse the Web. and many other sites also compare individual’s browsing and buying habits to those of thousands and millions of other consumers in their databases. Using a technique called collaborative filtering, they can find out your likely interests. This is based on what they know about what like-minded people buy or do.But this new use of Internet begins to trouble some computer users. They worry that advertisers can track their private information without their knowledge, and that files about them might be put to ill use somehow, or shared with wrong people. Sometimes they just don’t like being watched.19. Which of the following do traditional shop managers NOT do to know their customers?20. In the digital market, which of the following does the “shop manager” NOT do?21. How does know about its customers?22. Which of the following troubles some computer users?Passage 3Every day you share personal information about yourself with others. It’s so routine that you may not even realize you’re doing it. Y ou may write a check at the grocery store, charge tickets to a ball game, rent a car, mail your tax returns, buy a gift online, call home on your cell phone, schedule a doctor’s appointment, or apply for a credit card. Each transaction requires you to share personal information: your bank and credit card account numbers; your income; your Social Security Number (SSN); or your name, address, and phone numbers.It’s important to find out what happens to the personal information you and your children provide to companies, marketers, and government agencies. These organizations may use your information simply to process your order; to tell you about products, services, or promotions; or to share with others.And then there are unscrupulous individuals, like identity thieves, who want your information to commit fraud. Identity theft — the fastest-growing white-collar crime in America —occurs when someone steals your personal identifying information, like your SSN, birth date, or mother’s maiden name, to open new charge accounts, order merchandise, or borrow money. Consumers targeted by identity thieves usually don’t know they’ve been victimized. But when the fraudsters fail to pay the bills or repay the loans, collection agencies begin pursuing the consumers to cover debts they didn’t even know they had.23. In which of these actions may people NOT reveal their private information?24. What may organizations use your private information to do?25. When will the consumers notice that their private information was stolen?Section C26. launched27. previously28. critical29. seminars30. genetic31. collaboration32. perform33. accusing him of34. added a clause to35. walk out。

The Three s n. 傀儡；喜剧里的配角或丑角（stooge的复数）
It is doubtful that there was a more successful comedy team in the 20th century than Three Stooges. Larry, Moe, and Curly became famous for their many short movies featuring extraordinary comedy. In their movies, they found many ways of showing off funny actions. They attracted large audience and received a lot of applause. However, their movies also sparked criticism. Some people who didn't like the Three Stooges claimed they were too violent. In a TV interview Moe and Larry were roused to defend themselves. Their coarse brand, they said, shouldn't be taken seriously. It was just "cartoon violence". The Stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and his Stooges. This act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career. Originally, the team was composed of Larry, Moe and Shemp. However, Shemp left for a career in more serious movies. When Shemp left, Curly took his place. Shemp's clumsy character returned in 1946 after Curly suffered a stroke.

Unit2 The Power of WordsThe Power of a Note1.On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier(Ohio) Leader Enterprise, I didn'tget a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning2.When I opened it, I read: "A nice piece of writing on the Tigers. Keep up the goodwork. "It was signed by Don Wolfe, the sports editor. Because I was a teenager (being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch), his words couldn't have been more inspiring. l kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don's note and feel confident againter, when I got to know him, I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quickencouraging word to people in all walks of life. "When I make others feel good about themselves, he told me, I feel good too.4.Not surprisingly, he had a body of friends as big as nearby Lake Erie. When he diedlast year at 75, the paper was flooded with calls and letters from people who had been recipients of his spirit-lifting words5.Over the years, Ive tried to copy the example of Don and other friends who careenough to write uplifting comments, because I think they are on to something important. In a world too often cold and unresponsive, such notes bring warmth and reassurance. We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise have been known to turn around a day, even a life.6.Why, then, are there so few upbeat note writers? My guess is that many who shyaway from the practice are too self-conscious. They’re afraid they’ll be misunderstood, sound sentimental or insincere. Also, writing takes time; it’s far easier to pick up the phone.7.The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they don’t last. A note attachesmore importance to our well-wishing. It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored and treasured8.Even though note writing may take longer, some pretty busy people do it,including George Bush. Some say he owes much of his success in politics to his ever-ready pen. How? Throughout his career he has followed up virtually every contact with a cordial response-a compliment, a line of praise or a nod of thanks.His notes go not only to friends and associates, but to casual acquaintances and total strangers-like the surprised person who got a warm pat on the back for lending Bush an umbrella.9.Even top corporate managers, who have mostly affected styles of leadership thatcan be characterized only as tough, cold and aloof, have begun to learn the lesson, and earn the benefits, of writing notes that lift people up. Former Ford chairman Donald Peterson who is largely credited for turning the company round in the 19bos, made it a practice to write positive messages to associates every day. "I’d just scribble them on a memo pad or the corner of a letter and pass them along, "he says.” The most important ten minutes of your day are those you spend doing something to boost the people who work for you.10.Too often, he observed, people we genuinely like have no idea how we feel aboutobserved, "people we genuinely like have no idea how we feel about them. Too often we think, I haven't said anything critical; why do I have to say something positive? We forget that human beings need positive reinforcement-in fact, we thrive on it!”11.What does it take to write letters that lift spirits and warm hearts? Only awillingness to express our appreciation. The most successful practitioners include what I call the four “S’s” of note writing.12.1) They are sincere. No one wants false praise.13.2) They are usually short. If you can't say what you want to say in three sentences,you're probably straining14.3) They are specific. Complimenting a business colleague by telling him "goodspeech" is too vague; "great story about Warren Buffet s investment strategy" is precise.15.4) They are spontaneous. This gives them the freshness and enthusiasm that willlinger in the reader's mind long afterward.16.It's difficult to be spontaneous when you have to hunt for letter-writing materials,so I keep paper, envelopes and stamps close at hand, even when I travel. Fancy stationery isn't necessary; it's the thought that counts.17.So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, yourlibrarian, a relative, your mayor, your mate, a teacher, your doctor? You don’t need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, or a birthday or holiday. For the last 25 years, for example, I’ve prepared an annual Christmas letter for long-distance friends, and I often add a handwritten word of thanks or congratulations. Acknowledging some success or good fortune that has happened during the year seems particularly appropriate considering the spirit of the Christmas season18.Be generous with your praise. Superlatives like "greatest, ""smartest, ""prettiestmake us all feel good. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.19.Today I got a warm, complimentary letter from my old boss and mentor, NormanVincent Peale. His little note to me was full of uplifting phrases, and it sent me to my typewriter to compose a few overdue letters of my own. I don't know if they will make anybody else's day, but they made mine. As my friend Don Wolfe said, making others feel good about themselves makes me feel good too.。

Book 4 Unit 2重点短语讲解1. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. (P10)【归纳】search for 意思是“寻找，搜寻”。
【延伸】search into调查；search out寻找到；search through 把……仔细搜寻一遍；search one’s memory 寻思，追忆；search one’s heart 扪心自问；in search of 寻找，寻求。
