新视野大学英语2综合训练完型总结
【综合训练完型阅读】【U9】Each nation has its own odd character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the worl d have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country . Who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and to get a s much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necess ary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return is rare everywhere.Both these types are usually not aware of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talkin g about his rights": he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not societ y to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses. if he had neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot ---or too cold--- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories. However, soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurl. He blames everyone and everything except himself He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.【U8】Career planning helps you to shape your career possibilities. It includes gathering information about ourselves as well as about occupations. Estimating the probable results of various courses of action is also part of it. Finally, it includes choosing what we find attractive and possible.There are some key steps in career planning. The first one is to study yourself. This is the key to career planning. Understanding what you are like, what you value, and what you want to become is the foundation for all career planning. In studying yourself, you examine your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and the trends in your personal development. The self-understanding that you gain enables you to imagine something important. That is, you realize how certain occupations may best fit your interests, abilities, and goals.The second step is to write your career goals down. A useful method of organizing ideas about your career is to actually write them down by time blocks in your life, for instance, ages nineteen to twenty-two, twenty-three to thirty, and so on. Writing something down may lead to new ideas about your possibilities and may help you to see relationships, patterns and trends.The third step is to review your plans and progress periodically with another person. Every so often, take stock of your situation and consider what steps have to be taken next. Planning further steps can help you face the changes that take place in the labor market. Talking over your plans with your parentsor friends helps you improve your career plans or make them work.If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over. Today, a growing number of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that attract them. Reasons for changing careers are different, but many people move because they feel tired of their jobs. For some, a second start grows out of the awareness that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy. They believe this is important for their personal development.【U7】Here are some secrets of living a successful life:Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sence of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your words and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own goals. You shouldn’t compare yourself with others for this. It’s not a question of being better than someone else. Respect demands that you be better than you thought you could be.Commit yourself to others. Believe in others, and take time to help them realize their dreams. You can build yourself into the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. You can do this by providing encouragement, and spending your time and energy on their development. If a tree is given little nourishment , it will live but not grow. But if nourishment is given over and beyond what is needed for life, the tree will live and grow upward, producing fruits.Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s reward . We live in a society that wants problems solved now. We want fast food, one hour dry cleaning and instant success. But to live happily , we must live one day at a time. We must realize that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal achievement. It means taking time to play with your kids and kiss your wife or husband. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to let the other fellow ahead of you on the highway. And what could be better than this?【U6】How important are our clothes? It is interesting to reflect on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jeans with holes? We would think that he might be a student as that is a fashion started by young people. An elegant lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age don't dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too. And that man with a well-tailored suit walking over there with an umbrella? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, he is formally dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his treasured umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly dressed. She was watched with suspicion from the moment she walked into the store. As she examined the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she finally decided on a smallpurchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or under. The next day she went back , dressed well , smelling of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper article, told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes.Some people argue that judging other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a person's appearance is an expression of who he is. An untidy person may rightly be thought of as a person of low social status, or even low quality. "Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes aren't necessary. And if a person decides not to look presentable, why should I give him respect?" one person says.【U5】There are two ways to spoil a child, that is, “overindulgence” and “oversubmissiveness”. The problem with overindulgent parenting is that it starves the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It also keeps him from making his own decisions and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to struggle to get something for himself. He never has to entertain any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and he’s tired of all his toys, this child is “spoiled” into believing that life will provide him everything without his own effort. And when he grows up he will expect everyone to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of spoiling is oversubmissiveness. An oversubmissive parent gives in to all his child’s demands, often because he fears the child won’t love him if he doesn’t. He just isn’t able to give a(n) firm “No”. The parent has no time to himself, can’t get the child to do anything wit hout an argument, and has to listen to whining continuously. When he’s had too much , he explodes in anger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels guilty for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they won’t be allowed to take advantage of other people.The child with an oversubmissive parent doesn’t learn to accept a “No” from other people, or to set limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the ever-present threat: “If you loved me, you’d do what I want.”The child “spoiled” by oversubmissive parenting grows up into a teenager and adult without limits to his behavior. He also becomes a person who won’t respect other people’s limits and personal boundaries. He makes life miserable for his parents, spouse, and children, infringing on their rights and feelings. He does this without even being aware of the people he hurts. Clearly, this is not good for anybody.Avoiding these two ways of spoiling is difficult, but well worth the effort.【U4】Universities are at their best when they do more than give students knowledge about their subjects.A new science and engineering first degree program is creating a lot of excitement at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is helping to prepare students to become leaders capable of creating and directing change in local, national, and global communities. Experts believe that much can be expected of this. The details might be of some interest to you.Three years ago, MIT worked with Leadership, Inc. to create the institute-based Leader Shape Institute. Program leaders call it “a serious and creative response to today’s basic challenges”. They mean to develop students and engineers who are prepared to “lead with integrity” both in technolog ical fields and in society. Central to the effort is helping students to learn to listen to society as it expresses its need for change.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has provided120 MIT science and engineering students with a thorough six-day experience featuring highly interactive teaching and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem solving. They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, dealing with uncertainty, working within a diverse community, and relationship communication. Most discussions and activities take place in assigned small “groups”. These groups provide supportive, safe environments that promote learning. It is meant that students develop new skills and attitudes. Each participant creates an individual plan of action called a “vision”, which is a main element of the Leader Shape curriculum. Each vision must be designed to bring confident change to the institute community. It must be carried out during the following school year.So what do students think about what they learn from the Leader Shape Institute? Nearly everyone asked about it speaks highly of their experience. One student, Christy Robertson, said that it had changed her life. “I feel that the things I’ve learned here are more important than anything else I’ve ever learned in a university classroom,” she said. “I only wish that I could sign up to take it a second time.” Many other students feel the same way.【U3】Choosing your life partner is a decision that requires very careful thought. Getting married is something you do not want to take lightly . Divorce rates around world are increasing every year. And in some countries they are now as high as 50 percent! If you don’t want to end up divorced and heart-broken, take my advice to help you choose your perfect partner.First of all, you and your partner should be compatible. You need to know that you share a common purpose in life. You and your partner should have similar goals and ambitions that you can work towardachieving through your married life. It will be difficult to keep your marriage together if your partner wants to stay at home and raise a large family, but you want to travel the world. You might have difficulty telling him that you want to have a life free from having children.Next, ask yourself this question: Is my partner a person with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings? In other words, can you be completely honest and open with this person? Or do you sometimes feel shy and uncomfortable telling her how you feel? If your situation is the former, then you have probably found your true love. If, however, it is the latter, take your time before you marry this person.Marry a person who is polite and kind to others; he will be polite and kind to you. In my experience, you can learn a lot about the true nature of a person by watching how he treats other people. If someone is kind and giving to family and friends, he will do the same to you. Someone who has good manners and is polite and respectful when dealing with others is whom you should be looking for. He will show you the same consideration.Finally, when you enter into a relationship with someone, remember that you should not expect to change that person. Be sure that the person you are getting together with is someone you like exactly the way he is. Otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed.【U2】The Olympics were first started by the Greeks and were very religious in nature. The Greeks honored their gods by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities of Greece stopped their wars to show their respect for the gods.There were originally four towns in which the Games were held and each town held the Games once in four years. But the Games at Olympia were the most important . The four-year period from the beginning of one Olympic Games to the beginning of the next became known as an “Olympiad”.Apart from the singing and dancing, the Games were very like the modern Olympics of today. There were foot-races in a stadium over long and short distances. There were jumping events, throwing events, and boxing.Only men were allowed to compete in or watch these early games. Later women were allowed to watch but they did not compete. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape. Thousands of men, and later women, applauded the greatest athletes in the country as they competed. They looked forward to the Games with much excitement.The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth century B.C., the Greeks were overpowered by the Romans. Then Greece became part of the Roman Empire. In Roman times the Olympic Games became less of a religious event than it was duringGreek times. The focus changed to the games themselves. Further changes to the Olympic Games have been made since. Even with the changes to the Olympic Games, however, we still remember the place of their birth.And we are reminded of the original Games even more, because Greece hosted the games very recently. The 2004 Summer Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. Over 200 countries participated in the Games. Also, for the first time ever, the Olympic flame, now very important to the Olympics, traveled around the world in a relay. The excitement of 2004 and that of the original competitions stays with us as we look forward to future Olympic Games.【U1】“You’re going to another country to study? How wonderful! You're really lucky!”But is it true all the time? Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feelings which people experience when they come to a new environment cult ure shock.According to these specialists, there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcom ers like their environment. Then, when the newness wears off, they begin to hate the city, the country, t he people, the apartment, and everything else in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings. As a result , they enjoy their life more.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious . Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the pu blic service networks such as the telephone or post office are difficult to understand and you make mista kes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. You may also miss the familiar smells of the food you are used to in your own country. If you don't look s imilar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel like everyone is watching you. In fact, you are al ways watching yourself. You are self-conscious .Who experiences culture shock? Everyone does in some form or another. But culture shock comes a s a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had anydifficulties in their own countries. They had hobbies or leisure activities which they enjoye d back in their mother country. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same establishe d positions or hobbies. They find themselves without a role, almost without a(n) identity . They have to b uild a new self-image. This can take a long time.。

I am frequently asked the question, ”Can you use chopsticks?”. I have lived in Korea, Japan, and China. In each country, I have, more often than not and without having requested one, been given a fork when one was available. I have politely refusde and said that I would be fine with chopsticks. Sometimes, I have to make further explanation.Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact, learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks. This is not to say I was skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me, whereas learning the rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult. Just how many times do I have to say “no, thank you” when I really mean “no, thank yo u, I truly am full”? How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat it? This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great. I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introducde me to eating in Asia.我常问的问题，“你会用筷子吗？“。

Although they may not be the world’s fastest or strongest athletes, the 1830 competitions in the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in Nagano, Japan competed with all their hearts. At the closing ceremony Princess Takamado of Japan made a speech .She said, ’The past week was all about smiles, gentleness and peace. I truly hope within my heart that the entire world can learn something here. We can all learn from the examples these special athletes have shown us.’The aim of the Special Olympics is clear. It is to encourage individuals with intellectual disabilities to become physically fit. They are also encouraged to be productive and respected members of society through sports training and competition. If an athlete wins in competition, it is a bonus. However , in a way everyone wins. Lily Kuhn ,12, a skier with Team USA , could hardly restrain her enthusiasm as the wrote home. She told her parents: I was proud of myself. I am happy not simply for winning, but for winning honestly, loving to compete and working the hardest for the longest time.The festival ending the games is something to remember. It isn’t complete without the hugs. One event volunteer while hugging and handing out sweatshirts to some of the athletes held up his thumbs an d said, ”All of these athletes are super! I can’t go anywhere around here without getting a hug. I pray for more of this sort of thing. I hope that the spirit with which they have competed might touch the whole world. Watching these young people blossom ov er the past week has truly touched my life. ”At the end of the festival, the vice mayor for the city of Shanghai, which will host the 2007 summer games, accepted the flag for the Special Olympics pledging that “the city of Shanghai would open its arms to the world and to the Special Olympics”.Jim Fixx had been a heavy smoker and weighed 214 pounds when he took up running in the 1960s. He soon reaped the benefits from running. His weight decreased by 60 pounds by the time his book, The Complete Book Of Running, was published. His book inspired millions of people. In his book and on television talk shows, he extolled the benefits of physical exercise and how it considerably increased the average people’s life expectancy. His readers and audience became more health-conscious. However , to their shock, Fixx died at the age of 52 after his daily run. Many who opposed his beliefs said this was evidence that running was harmful. However, his supporters revealed that the real cause of Fixx’s death was a he art attack. He came from a family where men had poor health stories. His father suffered a heart attack at the age of 35 and died of one at 42. Given Fixx’s unhealthy lifestyle until he took up running, many argued that running added many years to his life.“Running does have its shortcomings,” Acknowledges heart specialist Paul Thomas, in a recent medical journal. “The impact can be hard on your knees. Runners are more at risk during their training, particularly i f they run marathons. However, the news for runners isn’t all bad. Evidence suggests in spite of its shortcomings, moderate amount of running exercise can actually result in a longer, improved life.”Dr.Dale Macdonald, a certified Strength and Conditioning specialist once summed up a discussion by saying, “As with all athletic endeavors, running comes with both great reward and inherent risk. More than 60% of runners will suffer an injury that causes them to take time off running—each year!” He also said that improving one’s balance can reduce the likelihood of injury.Hyde was founded in 1966 to provide education based on character development rather than academic achievement. It is a place where well-to-do families can send their children who have difficulty in other educational environments. Many students are there because their parents believe in the educational theory of character before performance.Although Hyde is typically categorized as a college preparatory school, the school regards its primary purpose as preparation for life. Hyde helps students learn, embrace, and adopt a character compass that will guide them for the rest of their lives.Emphasis is placed on performing arts and sports. Hyde believes that one needs to expose themselves to group and community interactions as part of the growth process. Competitive sports are played year round and have led to many championships. There are typical high school classes and academics. Many Advanced Placement courses are available and encouraged. Most students are accepted to four-year colleges and universities.There are “Group Discovery” sessions several times per week. Students are encouraged to counsel each other when they think another student’s actions or thoughts do not correspond to the school’s philosophy. These sessions focus on the individual students and their current issues and problems faced at the school. Students are encouraged to share i ntimate secrets, doubts and regrets about themselves and their families. These sessions are extended to parents. The purpose of these sessions is to involve the whole family into the Hyde community social structure.Truth is emphasized over harmony. Students who have difficulty with following the school rules are assigned to perform maintenance jobs and lawn care for the school. The practice is not solely punitive but also serves to illustrate that the transgressor has separated him/herself from the community by their actions. The idea behind it is to earn acceptance by the group, and work back into the trust of the community.When Henry Ford announced he was going to produce an automobile that would be affordable to the general population, he probably did not realize what a great impact his achievement would have on life in the United States and, eventually,the world. Ford’s use of mass production strategies to manufacture the Model T started a new era in personal transportation. As a result, roads were built for the sake of cars and the greater mobility of people. With cars and the roads, having a business of one’s own became a lot more feasible.Every type of business sprung up. Customers could easily get to the stores no matter where they were in town,provided there was a road, so businesses no longer had to be located at a town’s center.And what about the family vacation?Families packed into their cars and drove across the country to explore the new frontier, stopping at every possible roadside attraction on the way. There was no limit to where you could go and what you could see. The car offered a sense of independence and, as Americans particularly hated to be restricted, they fell in love with the automobile instantly. On average, each American household owns two or more cars. As the world gets more complicated, driving cars around helps people cope with the demands of modern life.If you ask people what qualities define Americans, they will probably say that the two dominating characteristics of an American are inventiveness and independence. America is truly the land of cars and car culture.Aging is a natural process. Although medical advancements have come up with ways to cover signs of aging, there is no stopping the process. During the closing period in the lifespan of human beings, people tend to “move away” from more desirable previous periods, often known as“usefulness”.Age sixty is usually considered the dividing line between middle and old age. It is the time where you are considered an “elderly”, meaning somewhat old or advanced beyond middle age. Period of decline comes partly from physical and partly psychological factors. The physical cause of decline is a change in the body cells due to the effects of the aging process. The psychological cause of decline has something to do with unfavorable attitudes toward oneself, other people, work and life in general. Senility, a more or less complete physical breakdown, will take place w hen there is mental disorganization. The individual becomes careless, absent-minded, socially withdrawn, and promptly adjusted.Due to the unfavorable social attitudes toward the elderly, treatment toward them in American,unlike other cultures, makes them feel no longe r useful and unwanted. People who come from countries where respect for the elderly is customary usually treat elder people with more consideration and respect.In fact, old people are a treasure of experience to society. It is expected that old people will play an increasingly active role in social and community affairs as well a s in the business and professional worlds. Because of the reduction in the number of roles the elderly are able to play , it is very likely that they will develop a feeling of inferiority. It is our duty to make them better realize value and help them lead a life of comfort.Earthquakes have plagued our lives for as long as people have inhabited the Earth. These dangerous acts of the Earth have result in great damage to human beings.Earthquakes damage depends on what area is hit. If an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. If it hit a large city which is densely populated, there may be serious injuries and destruction.Earthquakes have the power to uproot trees and send them crashing i nto buildings. They can trigger landslides and cause flooding and tsunamis. Buildings and structures are also at risk. It is interesting to note that tall buildings will suffer the least damage if they are located directly at the epicenter. This is because they can withstand the up-and-down motion of P-waves. S-waves, on the other hand, occur far away from the epicenter, and cause the greatest stress by shaking buildings from side to side. These buildings are often knocked off their foundations.Buildings with thick, heavy walls do not resist shock waves very well. Violent earthquakes often cause structures to collapse, burying people underneath. Brick buildings are the most vulnerable. The shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest disaster. It is in the subsequent fires and folds that often the greatest damage occurs.Predicting an earthquake until now has almost been technologically impossible. With improvements in technology, lives have been saved and many more will. All that remains is to research to the point that a successful earthquake prediction is theoretically possible. However, accurate prediction of earthquake may take more years.At the age of 21, Steve Jobs and a friend, Stephen Wozniak, built a personal computer called the Apple. The Apple changed people’s idea of a computer from a gigantic(巨大的) mass of vacuum tubes only big business and the government could afford to a small box used by ordinary people. No company has done more to popularize the computer and make it used friendly than Apple Computer Inc. Two years after building the Apple I, Steve Jobs introduced the Apple II. The Apple II was the best buy in personal computers for home and small business throughout the following five years. Steve Jobs was considered a brilliant young man in silicon valley, because he saw the future demands of the computer industry. “The personal computer was create d by the hardware revolution of the 1970s and the next dramatic change will come from a software revolution”, said Jobs.Job was an orphan adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs in 1955. While still in high school, Jobs attended lectures at the Hewlett-Packard electronics firm. There he was hired as a summer employee and met another employee, Wozniak, who had a passion for inventing electronic devices. In 1972 Jobs graduated from high school and registered at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. After dropping out of Reed after one semester, he hung around the campus for a year, taking classes in philosophy. Early in 1974 Jobs took a job designing video games for Atari, Inc. But, he really had his eye on the commercial end of the electronics business and persuaded Wozniak to work with him toward building a personal computer.They sold everything they had,raising＄1300 to start their new company. With that capital base and credit begged from local electronics suppliers, they set up their first production line. Jobs camp up with the name of their new company Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon.Unit 9According to our experience,financial disputes are the number one reason for divorce in America.A premarital agreement is designed to identify f inancial concerns and establish expectations.Rather than b eing a “plan for divorce”,an effective prenuptial agreement is divorce prevention.We work closely with couples to design p renuptial agreement that are custom tailored.

新视野大学英语第二册完形填空原稿附翻译UNIT10In the summer of 1940,the German air force attempted to win air advantage over southern Britain and the English Channel by destroying the RAF and the British aircraft industry .This attempt came to be known as the Battle of Britain .The Germans had invaded Belgium and the Netherlands in May 1940,using the Lightning War technique that largely relied on close coordination between ground troops and the air force .Although the air force proved effective in this role ,it was not trained for the longer-range operations that became part of the Battle of Britain.It is widely believed that had the Germans succeeded in their aim of destroying theRAF ,they would have been able to invade Britain relatively easily .This was, after all , at a time when the country was the only European power resisting Nazi Germany ,even though she did enjoy great support from her partners.Although the fear of a German invasion was real , it was real ,it was perhaps unfounded. When planning the air attacks the Germans made the mistake of regarding the English Channel as a relatively minor obstacle , little more than a wide river crossing. In addition , even if Hitler had achieved his aim of destroying the RAF, Germany might still have failed to establish a foothold, because the British Royal Navy was enormously strong. There was nothing to stop them from withdrawing their aircraft out of range of the German fighters.在1940年的夏天，德国人空军试图通过毁坏皇家空军和英国飞机制造业赢取空气好处超过南英国和英吉利海峡。

Unit 1As a foreigner doing business in the United States, I feel very rushed. I am used to friendly opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different. There is no time for getting to know one another. This does not seem appropriate to me. There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no rituals like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) convention in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) leisurely chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too abrupt , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being assessed when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the perception is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another means of making money.All of this used to create a real dilemma for me. At first, it caused me to have as little interaction with American business partners as possible. Gradually, though, I have come to understand the cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable doing business here.作为一个外国人在美国做生意，我觉得很匆忙。
