The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.

全新版大学英语第二版综合教程笔记Unit4Unit 4 Book 1Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.“I mow your lawn,” he said. (Para. 2)How many times is the sentence —“I mow your lawn.” —repeated in the text? Why is it repeated?(The sentence is repeated four times. That’s because it shows T ony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.)2.Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? (Para. 12)Paraphrase the sentence.(It is hard to refuse a person who is determined and hopeful to get a job.)3.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story. (Para. 16)1) Paraphrase the sentence.(My wife and I were happy with what Tony had achieved, and thought that the whole thing had thus been settled.)2) Was Tony satisfied with this end?(Tony was not satisfied. He kept on working hard until he fulfilled his better dreams.)4.From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place —a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — T ony would gather and take home. (Para. 21)1) Why did Tony take home the discarded odds and ends?(Tony bought a house, which was a complete wreck. To fixand decorate it, and, above all, to save money, he took home the discarded odds and ends.)2) Translate the sentence into Chinese.(从那以后，只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物，坏了的屏风啦，五金器具啦，包装纸板啦，托尼都要收起来拿回家，看他这个样子真是有意思。

2.He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
3.I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示了中国人对创造性活动的态度。
4.我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
With a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.5.但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。

UNIT 7Language sense enhancementTwo centuries ago an English judge in India noticed that several words in Sanskrit closely resembled some words in Greek and Latin. A systematic study revealed that many modern languages descended from a common parent language, lost to us because nothing was written down.Identifying similar words, linguists have come up with what they call an Indo-European parent language, spoken until 3500 to 2000 B.C. These people had common words for snow, bee and wolf but no word for sea. So some scholars assume they lived somewhere in north-central Europe, where it was cold. Travelling east, some established the languages of India and Pakistan, and others drifted west toward the gentler climates of Europe. Some who made the earliest move westward became known as the Celts, whom Caesar’s armies found in Britain.Vocabulary1)Strictly speaking, he is not a southern. His biography reveals that, though born inthe south, he spent a good part of his childhood year in New England.2)Right after spring festival, millions of young people drifted from the countryside to the cities to look for work and explore the world.3)It is obvious that Tom resemble his father both in appearance and in character.4)There is clear evidence that Japan committed many serious crimes against the Chinese people when it invaded China during the Second World War.5)Medical scientists expect it will believe many years before cancer is conquered.6)The novel has a fascinating plot. This explains why it has remained number one on the best-seller list for so long.7)He must have been very busy these days. He dose not go out for lunch but eats a snack in the office.8)To settle the controversy, we have to put all these different theories into practice to see which one works better.9)The information is supposed to have come from a reliable source.10)We rarely have such terrible weather. The climate here is usually very mild and everything thrives in this region.11)People felt relieved when the invaders finally put down their arms and surrender.12)Our suspicions were first aroused when the two other parties made a deal behind our backs.Translation1) 自从新政策生效之后，很多小企业在这个城市涌现出来。

The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on theother hand, skills can be picked up later.美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。
我们两种文化的差异也可以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。
中国老师担心，如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，就有可能一辈子掌握不了；另一方面，他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。
美国教育工作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现；而另一方面，技艺可于日后获得。
However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).但我并不想夸大其辞。
无论在过去还是在当今，中国在科学、技术和艺术革新方面都展示了巨大的创造力。
而西方的创新突破则有被夸大的危险。
如果仔细审视任何一项创新，其对以往成就的依赖则都显而易见（“站在巨人肩膀之上”的现象）。
But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills然而，假定我这里所说的反差是成立的，而培养技艺与创造力两者都是值得追求的目标，那么重要的问题就在于：我们能否从中美两个极端中寻求一种更好的教育方式，它或许能在创造力与基本技能这两极之间获得某种较好的平衡UNIT 21. 面临，遭遇be confronted with2. 仰头向上看look up at3. 填写fill out4. 属于fall into5. 仅仅，不多于，不强于 nothing more than6. 转瞬即逝的念头 a passing whim7. 磨损，损耗wear and tear8. 虽然，尽管in spite of9. 期望，盼望look forward to10. 富裕的，有钱的 well off11. 不自在，格格不入 out of place12. 陈旧的家具dated furniture13. …之后不久shortly after14. 走下坡路，失败 go south15. 转折点 a turning point16. 与…形成对比 in contrast to17. 对…予以注意，致力于 focus on18. 归属感 a sense of belonging19. 遭遇困难 go through a rough time20. 久不消逝的微笑 a lingering smile21. 为…感恩 be thankful for22. 收入最低的档次 the lowest income bracket23. 创作才能 the gift of creativity24. 对物质财富的追求 the pursuit of possessionsYet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But it is still dependable. My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing. My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors. My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.然而，想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西，对我来说，只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。
我的汽车是1999年的产品，到现在开了十万五千英里，已经很破很旧了，但是它依然可靠。
我的住房不大，但是很安静，住着挺舒心。
我的衣服很适合于我的工作，主要都在户外。
我对计算机的很少的需求，可以在图书馆得到解决。
In spite of what I don’t have, I don’t feel poor. Why I’ve enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years. It’s not just that I’ve been illness-free, it’s thatI feel vigorous and spirited. Exercising is actually fun for me. I look forward to long, energizing walks. And I love the “can do” attitude that follows.尽管有些东西我没有，我并不感到贫穷。
这是为什么五十三年来我一直非常健康。
我不但不生病，而且精力充沛，情绪饱满。
锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事，我乐意长距离步行，越走越有劲。
我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。
I also cherish the gift of creativity. When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside. I’m continually surprised at the insights that come through my writing process. And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。
当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时，我内心感到很富有。
通过写作而获得的洞察力，不断地令我惊奇。
而与那么多写作朋友交谈，是我乐趣的主要源泉之一。
