Section One Pre-reading ActivitiesI. Audiovisual supplementFrom Secrets of Body LanguageWatch the video clip and answer the following questions.Script:Voiceover:But body language is often complex, and easily misunderstood. Here, President Clinton leads the Israeli and Palestinian leaders Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat up before the press during peace negotiations. It’s all smiles for the cameras, but behind the façade of bonhomie, there’s a power struggle going on. Clinton jokingly exp lains that none of them will take any questions.Clinton: We promise to each other we will answer no question and offer no comments, so I have to set a good example.Voiceover: The body language then reveals just why that works.Expert A:Wow. It’s almost a physical fight.Voiceover: Many view this apparently light-hearted tussle as a sign that Arafat and Barak were getting on well. Think again.Expert A: There is a great meaning behind who goes through the door first. Now of course here in the West, let ting someone through the door first doesn’t really matter. Polite maybe. But in the Middle East, it has significant cultural impact.Expert B:The host, the power person, says, “I’m in control. I’ll help you through the door. I’ll show you the way.”Arafat:Thank you. Thank you.Voiceover: Throw in the fear and tension present in most Middle East negotiations, and suddenly, the desire of both Arafat and Barak not to go through that door before the other starts to make sense.Expert C: This is a classic example in its extreme way of how the last man through the door is the winner. So Barak reaches for Yasser Arafat. Arafat literally grasps his arm, moves on, and starts wagering his finger at Barak, who, then, Barak, uses this opportunity as a wrestling match to move around, to actually be behind Arafat, and then literally grasps Arafat, holds him by the arm, and shoves him through the door.Expert B:So you’ve got fear and power struggle, showing in big big big big bold body language with it.Questions:1. How is the “getting through the door” movement understood by many people?Answer: Many view this apparently light-hearted tussle as a sign that Arafat and Barak were getting on well.2. What is the hidden message behind the scene?Answer: Arafat and Barak are struggling to get through the door after the other party in order to show “I am in control”.3. What does this story tell us?Answer: Body language is very important, but often complex and easily misunderstood.II. Cultural backgroundPersonal spacePersonal space can be imagined as a kind of bubble surrounding a person that protects his or her privacy and which other people may not normally enter. Allowing somebody to get very close and enter your personal space may be a sign of t rust or love. On the other hand, intruding other’s personal space can be rather offensive.The amount of space people need to feel around them varies with various factors, such as culture, sex, familiarity between people, crowdedness of the situation, etc. For example:●people from cultures that like a lot of personal space feel awkward and embarrassed when somebody comes too close to them;●people of the same sex may sit or stand closer to each other than to somebody of the opposite sex;●strangers and casual acquaintances usually need more space than friends and members of the same family who know each other well;●in a noisy street people may need to stand closer than they would normally, simply in order to hear each other.Text comprehension:IV. Explain in your own words:1. The phrase “personal space” has a quaint, seventies ring to it ... (Paragraph 2)Paraphrase:The phrase “personal space” sounds old-fashioned and reminds one of the seventies ...Or: The phrase “personal space” has odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.2. ... I’ve wondered if it’s the season: T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, much less).(Paragraph 4)Paraphrase:... it has passed through my mind that maybe the cause (of the space invasion) is the season: summer may make people want to be closer to those whose physical attraction is revealed by light summer clothing (though it may also make them wish to move further away from those smelling unpleasantly of perspiration).Or: In hot summer days people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex ( or feel disgusted with the closeness of others. )3. The logistics of it vary according to geography. (Paragraph 5)Paraphrase:People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space.4. ... individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes. (Paragraph 7) Paraphrase:... individuals, as usual, occupy the booths and seats which are designed for four people.Or: It is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5. In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space. (Paragraph 9) Paraphrase:The author hopes that his own stand against the shrinking of personal space, while small in itself, will nonetheless eventually have a dramatic effect in the same way as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California.I. Structural analysis of the textIn the text, the writer first points out the fact that nowadays people are more concerned about themselves and want to have a larger personal space than decades ago, and then he analyses the causes of space invasion.The text can be divided into three parts.Part I (Paragraphs 1 – 2):The writer calls the reader’s attention to the invasion of personal space by relating an experience of how his personal space was invaded.Part II (Paragraphs 3 –7): The writer analyzes some likely causes of the shrinkage of personal space, and attributes the invasion of personal space to the general decline of good manners. Part III (Paragraph 8 – 9): The author presents his view about the essence of personal space, i.e. it is psychological, rather than physical, and urges people to “expand the contracting boundaries of personal space”.II. Rhetorical features of the textA vivid and accurate description of the behaviour of the space invaders and those whose personal space is being invaded is achieved by a delicate selection of verbs. Some of the examples are as follows.Verbs and verbal phrases used to describe the behaviour of space invaders:- a man … started inching toward me … (Paragraph 1)- In elevators, people are wedging themselves in just before the doors close ... (Paragraph 3)- In movie theatres these days, people are staking a claim to both armrests, annexing all the elbow room ... (Paragraph 7)Verbs and verbal phrases used to describe the reaction of those whose space is being invaded:-I minutely advanced toward the woman… in front of me ...

综合训练（4）参考答案Unit 1The Tail of FamePart OneⅡ. Text Learning Guide1. Questions(1) Because like a dog chasing its own tail, when the artist captures the fame, he does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.(2) Their freedom to express themselves with other styles or forms.(3) It means that while men gradually become old, they never learn how to be good. Part TwoⅠ. WritingMy View on Remedial ExaminationsRemedial examinations have been part of university education for many years. After careful observation, we can find that it is more complicated than what we have thought. On the whole, I should say remedial examinations are necessary for our educational system. On the one hand, if none of them fail the examination, how can we guarantee the quality of education On the other hand, by preparing for and taking part in remedial examinations, students can make up for the lost time. If they can learn from this lesson, it will certainly do good to their future life.To make remedial examinations do the job, however, we have to make sure of several points below. For one thing, we should make all the examinations as fair as possible. Some students cheat in the examinations to get high scores, and others beg the teacher for a satisfactory grade. All of these people should be severely punished. For another, we should not decide the number of students failing the test before the examination. Teachers should bear a standard in mind, which is comparable across the years.The remedial examination is an important part of college education. Only by planning it wisely and conducting it reasonably can we make best use of it.Ⅱ.

(2) When he was 19 years old.(3) His transformation of lifeless objects into other kinds of objects, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again.Part TwoⅠ. WritingHow to Eliminate Cheating on CampusNowadays, instead of listening attentively in class and working hard after class, a number of students adopt all kinds of dishonest methods to get high scores in examinations. It has become such a serious problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind, it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behavior in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight against dishonest behaviors throughout the life.How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life if he is not far from any kind of cheating behaviors Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.Ⅱ.

Text Learning Guide1. Questions(1) Problems of the present welfare system.(2) He has chosen to live a life of complete honesty by drumming up some business and drawing cartoons for magazines.(3) The system so easily lends itself to abuse by the welfare givers as well as by the clients.(4) He dreams of a new system that will encourage the clients and help them develop their talents, rather than seek to convict them of cheating.Part TwoⅠ. WritingWelfare in Modern SocietySocial welfare is an essential element of an advanced society. Good systems are always abused, but that does not mean they are faulty. In my opinion, the two main reasons why welfare payments are necessary are as follows:First of all, critics forget that there are many forms of welfare besides payments to the unemployed. Their negative opinions harm those who are not capable of earning a wage, such as single parent mothers, the disabled, and the sick.The second reason is that crime increases when people have no means of support. The desperately poor inevitably turn to crime, which is not only dangerous but also costly. Certain members of society believe that people should look after themselves. They point out that welfare increases dependency on others and destroys dignity. This may be true, but in the case of the unemployed, the relief payments are usually temporary. It is surely the fault of the government if there are long term unemployed.Without welfare payments the poor are destined to become poorer. The first duty of a government is to provide a financial safety net for all disadvantaged persons, and that includes those without work.Ⅱ.

WritingPeople s Interpretations of Hi techHi tech in its largest sense refers to a set of investment intensive technologies that lead in the modern science and technology as guides for tapping productivity, promoting social civilization and modernizing national defense.It features improvement, integration, and creativity in technology and has IT, new materials and new energies as its major pillars. When applied to different walks of life, however, it takes on different shades of meaning. Hi tech in the world of enterprisers is often interpreted as an ideal way to open up new businesses and bring in huge profits. Hi tech in the context of IT is a general term for such landmarks as network, fiber optics, digitization and information superhighway. To politicians, hi tech is symbolic of the winning edge a country needs to compete for its rise in the world. With scientists, hi tech is the representative of sophistication, infiltration, independence, and diffusion. For the military circles, hi tech means a key factor separating the winners from the losers in the battlefield.As far as college students like us are concerned, hi tech always signifies a summit that challenges our endurance as well as our knowledge learned in class. Anyone who tries to attain it with one leap or fails to endure the pains during the long course of striving toward it will stand little chance to experience the thrill derived from conquering it. And moreover, hi tech is something relative and changeable, because today s hi tech results from yesterday s technology and will grow out of date as compared to tomorrow s.In this light, the ideal way of keeping pace with hi tech is to build up a sound foundation in basic knowledge.Ⅱ.

However, if they live alone, the temporary absence of friends may leave them with a feeling emptiness.(3) To stay rational, settle down in a comfortable way and find pleasure from the current life, wait for anything happy that may happen.Part TwoⅠ. WritingCredit CardsPersonal credit cards are becoming more common in China. Banks and other financial institutions are encouraging their customers to change the way they buy things. Credit cards, otherwise known as “plastic money”, are being offered on very good terms to encourage the change. Consumers will be able to “buy now, pay later”, and many see this as an advantage.But people need to be careful. There are dangers associated with credit cards. Some people find it very easy to exceed their budget. They are tempted to purchase goods that they do not really need, and can become quickly overburdened by debt. The credit cards often charge a high rate of interest, which exacerbates the problems for these people.However, used wisely credit cards can improve the quality of people s lives. They can give people access to money to meet sudden unplanned expenses. Properly handled, they can let people control their expenditure and the monthly statements provide a record of where their money has gone.Ⅱ.

WritingOn Marriage of Chinese On Campus StudentsThere is a new dissension putting forward these days: Should Chinese on campus students be approved to get married before they complete their courses Some people prefer “yes”while some others prefer “no”. Certainly a large number of people just cannot decide on which side they should stand.In fact, the government allows on campus students to get married before they complete their education. There isn t a regulation proclaimed in writing to forbid marriage of on campus students. But it must affect those triers.In my opinion, it is unnecessary to forbid on campus students to get married before they finish their college study, however, it shouldn t be advocated or encouraged, because for on campus students, they play the role as learners. Their main task is to learn. If they married, their school work must be affected and they may not graduate favorably or may not be capable for future works. So, I believe: Almost all on campus students should deal with the question reasonably.Ⅱ.
