Unit 1TEXT IComprehe nsionAn swers for referen ce:A. 1. As the saying goes, “ As you sow, so will you reap ” , which means whatever a man sows he will reap. The writer intends to convince the reader that making New Year's resolutions alsofollows this maxim. The more resoluti ons you make at the beg inning of the year, the better results you will have.2. He had read a number of books on self improvement before he made his resolutions. Hewrote out a long list of resoluti ons. He wan ted to make a differe nt man of himself —a lovi ngfather and an ideal husba nd—by trying to atte nd to every on e's n eeds.3. Having writte n a long list of resoluti ons, he Ion ged to put them into practice, thinking that they would be a great success.4. Judgi ng from the in formati on give n in the text, he was a serious and strict father to the childre n. He did not like to be bothered with questi ons. He n ever treated them as his equals. He showed no in terest i n their friends nor in what they were doing. Having a quick temper, he got excited easily and ofte n yelled at them. He did not allow any mischievous behaviour to go on at home. He was one of those husba nds who did not like to lift a fin ger to help his wife and do household chores. What he did in his free time was enjoy himself thoroughly. He had a good time at parties and liked to stay out late even if this meant he had a headache the n ext day. At home, what he did most of the time was either watch a footfall match or read the n ewspaper.5. He tried to be con siderate and helpful, but failed. All his efforts to be a good busba nd went con trary to his expectati ons. The whole family was throw n into disorder and con fusi on. His wife was anno yed by his good manners and smart remarks, thinking they were affected and that he was being sarcastio on purpose. She attributed his cheerfu In ess, good temper and thoughtfu In ess to not feeli ng his best after stay ing out late.6. He wan ted to do better but did not know how to do it appropriately. On New Year's Day, he was in a particularly cheerful and good mood, eager to ren der any service to his wife and childre n. Hedid everythi ng of his own accord. He was con siderate to his wife to the minu test detail and he graciously con desce nded to play jacks with Gretche n, build a sno wma n for the boys and strike up a con versati on with Kit. But the result in every case proved to be just the opposite to what he had expected. The writer behaved like a cha nged man. What he did was sudde nly totally differe nt from what he used to do, so his family was unprepared for this change. That's why, to them, his behaviour was too good to be true—his temper was too good to be believed, and his thoughtfu In ess was too great to be n atural.7. It means: “ The whole family are happy to see that your have come to be your usual self aga inand you are behav ing n aturally. At last everyth ing will go back to no rmal. ”B. Refere nee version:1. Quite obviously, anyone who was determ ined to be guided by the rules of self improveme nt I collected would be happy and have a richer life, i nfinite affectio n from his family and the love and respect of the com muni ty.2. Show your love readily and willi ngly.3. Whole hearted and genuine praise is really valuable.4. Join your childre n and treat them as your equals.5. I heard screams dow n the hall one after ano ther and I found Gretche n crying.6. The most uni mporta nt light task may turn out to be worthwhile if it is dealt with eagerly and with in terest.7.1 started to have a con versati on with Kit in a frien dly way and tried my best to achieve close agreeme nt and un dersta nding betwee n us.8.

English has now become one of the most widely used Ianguages in the world. In 1500, En glish was an in sig ni fica nt Ian guage, spoke n by the people livi ng on a small isla nd. Now it is spoken as the first Ianguage by over a quarter of a billion people and as a second Ianguage by many millions more. When people speak English, we may be able to tell which English it is —America n En glish, Australia n En glish, British En glish, In dia n En glish and so on. Besides, for differe nt purposes, we use differe nt En glishes: everyday En glish, bus in ess En glish, commercial En glish, diplomatic En glish, medical En glish, scie ntific En glish, tech ni cal En glish, legal En glish, journalistic English and so on. We also use different degrees of formality and can differentiate betwee n formal En glish, in formal En glish, and colloquial En glish.2. Style expresses the writer's in dividuality through his choice of words and sentence patter ns, and his selectio n and arran geme nt of material. Style freque ntly reflects the writer's pers on ality, mood, attitudes, educati on, and gen eralbackgro und. There are differe nt kinds of styles: homely, coarse, refin ed, iro nic, vulgar, pla in, childlike, formal, i nformal, wordy, colloquial, direct, gra ndiloque nt, and so on. We choose words to suit the audie nee, the occasi on, the topic, and the genre (e.g., short story, essay, argume ntati on). Certain words, exact and con crete as they are, are excluded from formal use, because they are not appropriate for formal occasions. It would be absurd if slang terms or vulgarisms were used to address an audie nee at comme nceme nt, or the other way round, if a very formal style, lo ng sentences and complex grammatical structures were used in a frie ndly letter. Yet if we have some idea of different styles, but don't know when to use which, this kno wledge is worse tha n useless.NounV erbAdjectiveAdverb1.beautybeautifybeautifulbeautifully3.moralitymoralizemoralmorally5.suggestio nsuggestsuggestivesuggestively7.admirati on admireadmirableadmirably9.imagi natio nimagi neimagi nativeimaginatively11. impressivenessimpressimpressiveimpressively13. expla nati on expla in expla natoryexpla natorily15. creativitycreatecreativecreatively2. resoluti on resolveresoluteresolutely4. illustrati on illustrateillustrativeillustratively6. collectio ncollectcollectivecollectively8. differe ncedifferdiffere ntdiffere ntly10. harm on yharm oni zeharm onio usharm onio usly12. distributi on distributedistributivedistributively14.3. This is an example of a very formal expressi on alon gside a colloquialism. Bags of fun is a sla ng term whereas extremely gracious is very formal Ian guage.Here is ano ther example of the same ki nd to show the in appropriate ness of a formal style mixedwith colloquialism .In a letter of applicati on, you begi n thus:Dear Sirs,I am writi ng to you in the hope that you still have a vaca nt place in your departme nt. If you hve not yet employed anyon e, I should like my applicati on for the positi on to be con sidered.And you con clude with:As to my character and fitn ess for the job, please rest assured that I am sure smart .In this last senten ce, job may be rather too in formal; employme nt or post would be more suitable. Smart is a colloquialism that means “ men tally alert, quick witted, and t ale nted ” . Moreover, the sentence Iam sure smart is very in formal and colloquial, and so it is in appropriate for the letter.4. Good use of En glish requires the appropriate choice of words for the expressi on of thoughts. To be in “ gooduse of English "therefore, a word must be used appropriately in a specific set of circumsta nces.K 2 25. Coy means “ shy, diffident, bashful ” . What the writer means here is: “ Do away withyour shyn ess. Decide what you want to say and say it as directly as possible in pla in words. Stop deceiv ing people and beati ng about the bush. Call a spade a spade."6. Some examples of euphemisms:1) a men tal home (= an insane asylum)slow (= dull in mi nd)reside nee (= house)a recon diti oned automobile ( = a used car)stout (= fat)The above words and phrases in italics are supposed to be more pleasa nt substitutes for those in pare ntheses.2) sk in tonic ( = cold cream. The term sk in ton ic may help the manu facturer to sell his productsmore easily.)3) Good ness me! Good ness gracious! Thank good ness. For good ness' sake! (It is supposed tobe blasphemous to use the word God in on e's speech, so good ness is used in stead of God.)4) “ Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no moretha n they can carry: this is called tran sfer of populati on. ” (This is quoted from George Orwell's“ Politicsand the English Language " . Euphemisms used here to hide some brutal, harsh, starkpolitical realities.)7. The writer means that in spite of the fact that he stron gly objects to the use of euphemisms, some euphemisms, having considerable vigour and vitality, can still be used as far as he is concern ed.8. It shows that the writer can foresee the in evitable fate of any euphemism, i.e., that any effort toavoid unpleasantness will end in failure, because a euphemism will quickly acquire the same“ n egative conno tati on ” as the word it has replaced. There is thus no sense in using euphemisms.B. Refere nee version:1. The richer life experie nee we have, and the more people from all walks of life we know, we will develop more exte nsive and flexible kno wledge of differe nt En glish styles and the ability to use each style appropriately whe n the occasi on arises.2. If we do not know whe n to use each style appropriately, or if we con fuse one style with ano therin appropriately, an un systematic and casual kno wledge of styles is of no use, or even worse.3. Neither “ bagsof fun ” nor “ extremelygracious in its suitable con text is a careless / casual expressi on of on e's ideas.4. It would, however, also be absurd / foolish to turn the judgment completely the other way round.K 2 35. Except in cases where they are used to achieve humorous effect, con temporary writersthink that euphemisms are too disgust ing, artificial and prete ntious.6. Suppori ng the argume nt made by using the outdated and stereotyped phrases that are often usedby trade union leaders would be as easy as shooti ng birds that n ever fly away.7. Some euphemisms are unu sual eno ugh to be funny. They are so unu sual that they become quite funny.8. Some people may also like extreme un derstateme nt.TEXT nComprehe nsion1. C2. C3. A4. B5. B6.

Childre n can learn basic less ons from them. For example, they may lear n thrift by heari ng a pare nt or gran dpare nt say, “ Waste not, want not. ” Young people tempted to be dish on est are ofte n able toresist the temptation by recalling “ Honestyis the best policy "Or persons faced with difficult tasks will be encouraged to persevere by keeping in mind that “ Little strokes fell great oaksmany tense situati ons are improved whe n one pers on or ano ther remembers that “ A soft an swerturns away wrath ” , or that “ Two cannot quarrel if one won't ”.K 2 4Proverbs are found in almost every Ian guage in the world, whether the Ian guage is writte n or no t.

Refere nee version:We should always bear in mind that in different circumstances we use the English Ianguage in differe nt ways. This fact, however, is ofte n forgotte n. When we thi nk about la nguage, we too ofte n think only of the more formal forms, especiallythe writte n forms. But we are not always readi ng and writ ing. We use sla ng, or at least colloquial forms, with friends and acqua intan ces. In certa in social situations, we use clich sethat we would probably blush to write down. We use polite speech when we speak to our elders or our superiors. We use high sounding Ianguage on importa nt occasi ons. We tell jokes and make comme nts about things or people n ear or far. We talk about ordinary things or of the secrets of the uni verse. We express feeli ngs to one pers on or to a group. We choose slightly different forms of Ianguage for each of these purposes. For a native speaker of En glish, his choice is partly in sti nctive and partly based on an aware ness of the kind of Ian guage that is expected of him.

Now that there was an opport unity for the soul of her n ephew to be saved, she could n't help feeli ng excited. She was look ing forward to the special meeti ng for childre n, un able to hide her eager ness.2 She told him that he could see and hear and feel Jesus in his soul whe n he was saved. Jesus would come to him and the child would see a light and feel differe nt in side. Being a child of twelve, he believed her and waited in great earn est for Jesus to come into his life.3 The writer purposely describes the members of the con gregati on in detail —— the old blackwome n weari ng plaits, and weather beate n old men; “ weather beaten” in dicates their richexperie nee of life. Since they believed in God and they said the same things about Jesus, the child did n't think it could be un true. The writer is suggest ing that the power of other people to make a pers on do what they believe is right is often irresistible.4 1) It is first men ti oned by the child's aunt in the sec ond paragraph, as an idea prese nted by his aunt in the process of trying to convince him of the importa nee of being saved.2) In the fifth one sentence paragraph the child was wait ing to see Jesus.3) It is repeated in the seventh paragraph, when the child was still waiting and longing to see Jesus.4) It it repeated aga in in the eleve nth paragraph, this time as an in direct accusati on of hypocrisy, since Jesus did n't punish Westley for tell ing a lie.5) The last time it is repeated is in the last paragraph, when it ends up in Langston's self revelati on of and regret over his dish on esty, and it helps to express his distress about havi ng bee n disillusi on ed.5 He believed that many old people certa inly knew better —that God would come into his life. He felt he had to wait patie ntly to see Jesus in spite of the heat, the crowd, and the earn est en treaties of some of the members of the con gregatio n. As he had n't see n Jesus, he did n't want to lie and say he had, for he was basically an hon est boy.6 The less ons he lear ned were：1) He could n't resist the power to do what a great many people thought he should. People, old and young, men and wome n, all believed in the existe nee of almighty God; he had to do what they expected of him and sit on the mour ner's bench to be saved and say Jesus had come.2) If he did n't want to hold everyth ing up, and if he wan ted to save further trouble, he had betterlie. The proverb “ Honesty is the best policy ” , he learned, did not always apply.3) Religi on was not what he wan ted. He could n't and would n't believe in his aunt and God any more since he had bee n deceived and forced to tell a lie.7 He was saved from sin in an ironic sen se. He was compelled to commit a sin (ie, to lie) in order to be “ saved from sin ” .B Refere nee version:1 Every ni ght for weeks, the priests gave serm ons, and people sang songs in praise of God, worshipped God and shouted for joy. Some sinners who had n ever showed sig ns of shame or repe ntance were saved from sin and the nu mber of the members of the church in creased rapidly.2 The clergyma n spoke on religious matters to the con gregati on. His speech was marvellously regular and melodious; it was a mixture of the low sounds of pain, grief and sufferi ng, loud and happy as well as Ion ely cries, and horrible pictures of the world sinners go to whe n they die.3 The whole buildi ng shook with all the pray ing and singing.4 All the people atte nding church service prayed only for me; their pray ing became one stro ng and powerful sound of pain and sufferi ng.5 The whole church became a sea of great joy.6 When everyth ing became quiet aga in, duri ng a respectful sile nee, which was broke n only by several people saying “Amen ” extremely joyfully and happily, all the children were given bless ings by the mini ster in the n ame of God.TEXT nComprehe nsion1 F (People were pleased because he was not only hon est but also a good bus in essma n.)2 F (In fact, they were greatly in terested in others' bus in ess.

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA.Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i)Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process.ii)The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii)Two examples:a.In many of the former all- women's colleges, the boys were taking over the class-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.B.Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class.ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C.Gender-biased education is also reflected in the typical American teacher ' assumption. (para 4)i) The assumption: Boys will do better in the hard, masculine subjects of math and science while girls are expected to have better verbal and reading skills.ii) Three examples:a. American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who develop reading problems.c.In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3)The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A.Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to be approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B.The consequence when these lessons carry over fromthe home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right in their answers than in beingintellectually independent, analytical, or original.C.Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child 'sw aking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.2 CBDBCDVocabularyapproved 5) Bias1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4)6) deprived 7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2. conscious –unconscious negativeencourage –discourage –inferior positive –superiordirectly –indirectly biasedlimited – unlimiteddependentappropriately – inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8)B4. 1) turn out 2) carry over 3) calling on 4) put away 5) fallen behind 6) take overUnit 4Reading Comprehension 1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents canencouragecreativity in children.2) An important strategy for parents and teachers to follow (para. 2-3)A.

The approach: Combining the basics with the activities where students mustuse their imaginations.B. How to do so: By asking questions and meanwhile praising their ideas andnew thoughts.C.How to facilitate the process: To create an atmosphere in which there is norisk in being creative-- a place where wild ideas are honored and valued,never scorned or dismissed.6)Things parents can do at home to encourage creativity (para. 8-10)A.To involve children in decision making.B.To help children to understand the consequences of various decisions.C.To encourage them to talk out loud about things they are doing.

新编大学英语4课文翻译及课后习题答案完整版
新编大学英语4课文参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。
”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。
