Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible:1) In real life what kind of woman is the mother2) What kind of woman would Dee like her mother to be?3) How does the mother act when she meets a strange white man?4) What kind of girl is Maggie?5) Why do you think colored people asked fewer questions in 1927?6) Why does the mother say Dee will never bring her friends to visit them? What does this tell about Dee? Give other instances to prove your point.7) Why did Dee want the quilt so much?8) Why did Maggie want the quilt?9) Why did Dee visit her mother and sister?10) What is the mother’s feeling toward Dee? How is it changed in the course of the story?11) What is implied by the subtitle ‘ for your grandmama’’?II. Paraphrase:1) She thinks her sister has held life always in the palm of one hand2)”no” is a word the world never learned to say to her3) Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.4) It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight5) She washed us in a river of make-believe6) Burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know7) Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by.8) A dress to the ground, in this hot weather.9) You can see me trying to move a second or two before I make it.10) Anyhow, he soon gives up on Maggie.11) Though, in fact, I probably could have carried it back beyond the Civil War through the branches.12) Every once in a while he and Wangero sent eye signals over my head.13) Less than that.14) This was the way she knew God to work.III. Translate the following into Chinese:1) In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day, breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does hot show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake. My hair glistens in the hot bright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.2) But that is a mistake. I know even before I wake up.Who ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue? Who can even imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye? It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight, withmy head turned in whichever way is farthest from them. Dee, though. She would always look anyone in the eye, Hesitation was no part of her nature.3) I used to think she hated Maggie, too. But that was be-fore we raised the money, the church and me, to send her to Augusta to school. She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know. Pressed us to her with the serious way she read, to shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand.4) I never had an education myself. After second grade the school was closed down. Don’t ask me why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now. Sometimes Maggie reads to me. She stumbles along good-naturedly but can’t see well. She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by. She will marry John Thomas (who has mossy teeth in an earnest face) and then I’ll be free to sit here and I guess just sing church songs to myself. Although I never was a good singer. Never could carry a tune. I was always better at a man’s job. I used to l ove to milk till I was hooked in the side in ‘49. Cows are soothing and slow and don’t bother you, unless you try to milk them the wrong way.IV. Replace the following italicized words with more formal words or expressions:1) even though she has told me once that she thinks orchids are tacky flowers.2) like dimwits, w e seem to understand. ( )3) and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail ( )4) Impressed with her they worshiped her well-turned phrases5) I heard Maggie go “Uhnnnh” again. ( )6) It looks like Asalamalakim wants to shake hands but want to do it fancy. ( )7) “Well,” said Asalamalakim, “There you are.” ( )8) After I tripped over it two or three times he told me to just call him Hakim-a-barber. ( )9) “You must belong to the beef-cattle people down the road,” I said. ( )10) She talked a blue streak over the sweet potatoes. ( )V.

A dress down to the ground, in this hot weather.5) Earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders.6) “No, Mama,” she says. “Not ‘Dee, ‘ Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!”7) “Why shouldn’t I?” I asked.8)Always too busy: feeding the cattle, fixing the fences,putting up salt-lick shelters, throwing down the hay.9) “Uncle Buddy whittle that, too?” asked the barber.10) “Imagine!” she breathed again, clutching them to her bosom.Ⅵ. The following sentences all contain metaphors or similes. Ex-plain their meaning in plain, non-figurative language.1) I am the way my daughter would want me to be: ... my skin like an uncooked barley pancake.2) It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight.3) Impressed with her they worshiped her well-turned phrases,the cute shape, the scalding humor that erupted like bubbles in lye.4) He flew to marry a cheap city girl from a family of ignorant flashy people.5) And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.6) “Maggie’s brain is like an elephant’s,” Wangero said, laughing.7) You didn’t even have to look close to see where hands pushing the dasher up and down to make butter had left a kind of sink in the wood.8) “Mama, “ Wangero said, sweet as a bird.9) She gasped like a bee had stung her.10) It’s really a new day for us.VII. Explain how the meaning of the sentences is affected when the italicized words are replaced by the words in brackets. Pay attention to the shades of meaning of the words.1) It is like an extended living room. (large)2) She will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs. (helplessly, embarrassed by)3) Dee and I are suddenly brought together on a TV program of this sort. (like this one)4) Out of a dark and soft-seated limousine I am ushered into a bright room filled with many people. (car)5) Furtive boys in pink shirts hanging about on washday after school. (sly)6) Bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arms up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits. (hanging)7) After dinner Dee (Wangero) went to the trunk at the foot of my bed and started rifling through it. (suitcase, searching)8) “Imagine!” she breathed again, clutching them closely to her bosom. (breathed) VIII. The following are rhetorical questions requiring no answers.Turn them into statements without changing the main ideas.1) A pleasant surprise, of course: What would they do if parent and child came on the show only to curse out and insult each other?2) Who ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue?3) Who can ever imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye?4) Why don’t you do a dance around the ashes?5) “Why don’t you take one or two of the others?” I asked.IX.

Study the model given below. Then read the next two paragraphs and show how coherence and unity is improved by the use, of transitional devices.Model: But this is only one aspect of the problem. Another, no less essential, is the wider gap between generations since the rate of social development has speeded up. The tastes and habits of young people today differ markedly from those of the young people of the thirties, let alone of the twenties. Still influenced by the tastes and habits of their own youth, the "fathers" are inclined to think these habits and tastes are absolutes and to deny their children the right to independent creativity which they demanded from their own parents. Hence the artificial conflicts, in which a dance or the width of trousers is elevated to the dignity of crucial issues. The writer uses the following transitional devices:1) Transitional words and expressionsbut another still hence2) Pronoun referencethose their these they3) Repetition of important wordstastes and habits young people1. And since we (teenagers) are so new, many people have some very wrong ideas about us. For instance, the newspapers are always carrying advice-columns telling our mothers how to handle us, their "bewildered maladjusted offspring, " and the movies portray us as half-witted bops (hoodlums-ed. ); and in the current best sellers, authors recall their own confused, unhappy youth. On the other hand, speakers tell us that these teen-years are the happiest and freest of our lives, or hand us the "leaders of tomorrow, forge on the future" line. The general opinion is that teen-agers are either car-stealing, dope-taking delinquents, or immature, weepy adolescents with nothing on our minds but boys (or girls as the case may be ). Most adults have one or two attitudes toward the handling of teens--some say that only a sound beating will keep us in line; others treat us as mentally unbalanced creatures on the brink of insanity, who must be pampered and shielded at any cost.2. As of today, I am fed up with the food served in the campus dining hall. My disenchantment started in September---the day I bit into a hamburger to find myself staring at a long strand of grey hair that trailed out of the meat, through the mayonnaise, and over the edge of the bun. After that, I was not much surprised by the little things I came across in October and November: bugs in the salad and bobby pin in the meatloaf, for example. Then in December the food was worse--and a little dirtier. For Christmas dinner, for in- stance, the cook gave me a thin slice of rolled turkey, straight out of the can, and dished up a cock-roach in my pudding. Even that was excusable (nobody is perfect), but what happened today is not" I had already eaten most of my clam chowder before I found it, at the bottom of the bowl, nestled among the diced potatoes and the chopped onions: one band-aid, slightly used.XIII. Topics for oral work:1. In your opinion, what makes or spoils a good conversation?2. Is spoken English different from written English? In what ways are they different?XIV. Write a short composition describing some of the peculiarities of spoken EnglishPub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案Ⅰ .1. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists.Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. The writer seems to be in favor of bilingual education. He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7. The term "the Queen's English" was used in 1953 by Nash because at that time the reigning monarch was a queen, Elizabeth I. The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8．“The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399．9．The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality．1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”，but it should not be 1aid down as an edict，and made immune to change from below．The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum．10．During the Norman period，the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language．Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it．The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper，educated class in England．Ⅲ．1．The title of this piece is not well chosen．It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English．Whereas the writer．in reality，is just discoursing on what makes good conversation．The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English” to illustrate his point that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own．2．1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest，the saloons of 18th century Paris，and the words of many a man of letters．For a short expository essay like this，the allusions used are more than expected and desirable．3．Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph by means of which the writer passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it．But one feels the change from “pub talk” to “the King's English” a bit too abrupt．4．The simple idiomatic expressions like "to be on the rocks，out of bed on the wrong side，etc．”may be said to go well with the copious literary and historical allusions the writer used for an informal conversational style to Suit the theme of this essay in which the writer tries to defend informal uses of language．5．The writer’s attitude towards “the King’s English” shows that he is a defender of democracy．Ⅳ．1．And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2．Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view．3．In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view．4．People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives．5．The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong．6．These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields；but when we sit down at the table to eat．we call their meat beef．7．The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8．The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9．The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10．There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11．There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12．Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.V．See the translation of the text．Ⅵ·1. on the rocks：metaphor，comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2．get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way”. It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.) 3．on wings：metaphor，comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring．It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting．4．turn up one’s nose at：scorn；show scorn for5．into the shoes：metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression)，think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant，i．e．as if one were a Saxon peasant6 come into one’s own：receive what properly belongs to one，especially acclaim or recognition657．sit up at：(colloquial)become suddenly alert and take notice ofⅦ．1．ignorant指缺乏知识，可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man)，也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知)；illiterate意为缺乏文化修养，尤指读写能力的缺乏；uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育；unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知)，既可指一无所长，又可指某一方面所知有限，如unlearned in science，意为对科学懂得有限，但对其他学科，如文学、哲学等，倒可能是很精通的。

Lesson 1Question:1。
Why did John Koshak decide to stay although he knew the hurricane would be bad？For the following reasons: For one thing, the house was 23 feet above sea level; for another，he was unwilling to abandon his home。
2. How did the man prepare for the hurricane? Why was a generator necessary？They filled bathtubs and pails. Besides, they checked out batteries for portable radio and flashlights, and fuel for the lantern。
A generator was necessary because John’s father wired several light bulbs to it and prepared a connection to the refrigerator。
3. What made it impossible for the Koshak to escape?It was impossible for the Koshers to escape both by car and on foot。
The car's electrical system had been killed by water。
Meanwhile, the water became too deep for them to escape on foot. 4。
Why did John Koshak feel a crushing guilt？Because he blamed himself for underestimating the power of the hurricane and then endangering the whole family by his wrong decision not to flee safer inland。

BLACKMAILI. Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible-1) Did Ogilvie deliberatedly delay his call at the Croydons' suite? Why?2) Why did the Duchess send her maid and secretary out?3) Why do you think Ogilvie was being deliberately offensive to the Croydons in the beginning?4) How did the Duchess know where the Duke had gone the night the accident occurred?5) How did Ogilvie come to suspect the Croydons of the hit-' n run crime?6) what is a 'brush trace'?7) What made the Duchess jump to the conclusion that Ogilvie had come to blackmail them?8) Why didn't the police come immediately to the hotel to check the cars?9) Why couldn't the Duchess get her car repaired discreetly in New Orleans?10) Why did the Duchess decide to make the detective drive their car north?11) Why did the Duchess offer Ogilvie twenty-five thousand dollars instead of the ten thousand the detective asked for?12) Did Ogilvie accept the Duchess’ offer?II. Paraphrase:1) The house detective's piggy eyes surveyed her sardonically from his gross jowled face.2) Pretty neat set-up you folks got.3) The obese body shook in an appreciative chuckle.4) He lowered the level of his incongruous falsetto voice.5) The words spat forth with sudden savagery, all pretense of blandness gone.6) The Duchess of Corydon –three centuries and a half of in-bred arrogance behind her -- did not yield easily.7) "It is no go, old girl. I'm afraid. It was a good try."8) "That's more like it," Ogilvie said. He lit the fresh cigar, "Now we're getting somewhere."9) his eyes sardonically on the Duchess as if challenging her objection.10) The house detective clucked his tongue reprovingly.Ⅲ. Translate the following into Chinese:1) "I'll tell you, Duke -- I've been in this town and this hotel a long time. I got friends all over. I oblige them; they do the same for me, like letting me know what gives, an' where. There ain't much, out of the way, which people who stay in this hotel do, I don’ t get to hear about. Most of 'em never know I know, or know me. They think they got their little secret tucked away, and so they have –except like now."2) "Well now, there's no call for being hasty," The incongruous falsetto voice took on a musing note. "What's done's been done. Rushin' any place ain't gonna bring back the kid nor its mother neither. Besides, what they' d do to you across at the headquarters, Duke, you wouldn’t' t like. No sir, you wouldn't like it at all."3) The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind. It wasessential, she knew, that her thinking remain calm and reasoned. In the last few minutes the conversation had become as seemingly casual as if the discussion were of some minor domestic matter and not survival itself. She intended to keep it that way. Once more, she was aware; the role of leadership had fallen to her, her husband now a tense but passive spectator of the exchange between the evil fat man and herself. No matter. What was inevitable must be accepted. The important thing was to consider all eventualities. A thought occurred to her.Ⅳ.
