She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus.

It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight.

The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 Learning about English VocabularyI 1.1)Strictly speaking2)drifted3)resembles4)invaded5)is conquered6)fascinating 7)snack8)put; into practice9)source10)climate11)surrendered12)were; aroused2.1)an absolute necessity rather than a luxury.2)is a valuable addition to the football team.3)will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4)Alternative but to go via Vancouver to get to Seattle.5)Declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six months as anemergency measure to stop the spread of mad disease.3.1)systematic; have invented; to a very real extent; mysteries2)to establish; to be modified/modifying3)tolerance towards; strike out; enrichII.Synonyms1.a)wish b)wishc)want d)want/wish 2.a)skinb)hide/skin c)hided)skine) 3.a)raise/rearb)raise c)rear/raised)raise4.a)royalb)kingly/royal c)sovereignd)royal/kinglyage1.Indeed2.though3.Frankly4.Moreover5.To my knowledge6.however7.nevertheless8.Yet9.instead10.in other wordsComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)fascinating(2)tolerance (3)invented(4)addition(5)ban(6)corrupt(7)out of control(8)influenced(9)elite(10)came upwith(11)establishing(12)Massive(13)sources(14)enrich2.(1)early(2)similar(3)source(4)observation (5)examine(6)features(7)declared(8)stronger(9)accident(10)sprungII.Translation1.1)Many small businesses have sprung up in the city since the new policywent into effect.2)On hearing the news, she smiled briefly, and then returned to herhabitual frown.3)He paused for effect, then said: “We can reach/enter these marketsthrough new channels.”4)The addition of a concert hall to the school will help it nourish youngmusical talents.5)We have no way to protect our personal liberties until we haveestablished a sovereign state. / We can’t protect our personal libertiesunless we, first of all, establish a sovereign state.2.Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation 11)patches 12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brother ice-cream lifelikelight year salesperson self-centered threefold overusestone-stillworldwideChinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive ExercisesI.cloze1.(1)spell (2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant(7)deserted (8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midst ofwealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another, buttheir children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in the blazingsun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise above thewinter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

To attain this, it is necessary fo r the communicators o f radiation inform ation to be fam iliar w ith the laypeople’s perceptions o f these phenomena. A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine non-experts’ conceptions o f radiation phenomena. The survey revealed an incomplete understanding o f concepts such as radioactive decay, h a lf-life and absorption o f radia tio n and a lack o f differentiation o f between radiation and radioactive materials. Many respondents did not distinguish between sources o f ionising radiation and other environmental hazards. Nuclear power plants and submarines were the most feared sources o f radiation. There are indications that the lay understanding o f radiation phenomena and risk is to a large extent formed by mass media and that “school knowledge” o f these phenomena is not applied in situations belonging to the “real w orld”To resolve this problem, new teaching and inform ation procedures are needed. These should take into account the learners’ perceptions and should integrate “school knowledge”w ith considerations belonging to the “real w orld”.E n h a n c in g la n g u a g e a b ilityT A S K 21betrays, conception2 renders3exem plified, perception4 prevalent, secure5 prior to6 proportion, gloomy7 alternatives8 characterized, constitutes, hazard9 From the standpoint of, ranks10 external, a prerequisiteT A S K 31include: contain, embrace, encompass, comprise, be composed of, consist of2 valid: powerful, convincing, sensible, rational, viable, credible, plausible, weighty, well-founded,cogent, well-grounded3basic: underlying, fundamental, essential, root, prime, primary4 danger:hazard, risk, threat, menace, peril, jeopardize5 describe: depict, portray, characterize, narrate, outline, represent6 different: discrepant, contrary, conflicting, contradictory, inconsistent, incompatible,incongruous, various, diverse7 cause:prompt, move, inspire, stimulate, urge, spur, motivate, induce, evoke, instigate, impel8 c la rify: account for, ju stify, explain, illum inate, clear up, rationalize, elucidate ,explicate9highlight: emphasize, stress, accent, feature, underline, spotlight, accentuate, give prominence to, attach importance to, give priority to, underscore10 factor: component, item, element, ingredient, constituent, contributorD o in g re s e a rc h p ro je c tsT A S K 11Solvent, pesticide, smoke, viral aggressions, ultrave radiation and ionizing radiation.2 Cells could identify the DNA damage, and remove the damaged part and re-synthesis to repair theDNA.3 The Stochastic effects are not systematic to each person being exposed.

Students receiving linked instruction perform better in language courses than those not receiving such instruction (Kasper, 1997). They reap the benefits o f significantcontent-based second language success (Grabe & Stoller, 1997; 1997; S tryker & Leaver, 1997;gains in the second language, e.g., in the receptive skills o f listening and reading (Burger et al., 1997; Ready & Wesche, 1992) and in the productive skills o f w ritin g(Burger, 1989) and speaking (B urger &Chretien. 2001).They also achieve comparable or even better mastery o f d isciplinary content than ESL students or native English-speaking students not receiving content-based language instruction (Andrade &M akaafi, 2001; B abbitt, 2001; Kasper, 1994; W inter, 2004).The topic sentence is “content-based second language teaching promotes both language acquisition and academic success.”The w rite r uses literature evidence to support the idea in term s o f speaking, reading and w ritin g.Q u o tin gT A S K 11Author-focused version: According to Anyanwu (1983), most Nigerians believe that “urban existence is synonymous w ith extreme individual and community poverty”.Information-focused version: Influenced by western cultures，most Nigerians believe that “urbanexistence is synonymous w ith extreme individual and community poverty” (Anyanwu, 1883).2 Author-focused version: Anyanwu (1983) suggested that mothers should be educated “how to prepareand use hygienically acceptable supplementary foods”.Information-focused version: We may educate mother ““how to prepare and use hygienicallyacceptable supplementary foods” (Anyanwu, 1983).S u m m a riz in gT A S K 11 c. b. a. d2 b. a. c. d3 a. d. c. bT A S K 21Chinese big cities suffer from growing traffic problems.2 Some long and complicated sentences mean very little.3 The basic tenet o f constructivism holds that learners themselves construct knowledge, rather thanreceive it from outside.4 Some educationalists contend that deciding on a major is the most critical decision students facewhen entering college, whereas others argue that the most important thing fo r students to discover in university is their true interests, because many establish careers not related to the major they studied in college.5 The majority o f American Internet users, especially teenagers, use SNS, which has altered the paceand process o f making and maintaining friendships.6 According to Hirshi and Gottfredson, the propensity (倾向）o f someone to commit crime comesfrom his or her lack o f self-control, whereby the urge to feed desires causes one to even break the law.T A S K 31Gordon & Taylor (1989) believes that although most people feel a great deal o f anguish when faced w ith w riting tasks, this feeling can be managed by developing personal procrastination- avoidance strategy.2 Frick (1991) claims that history has demonstrated that technology affects education profoundly.Considering the definition o f technology broadly, one may say that prehistoric people usedprim itive technologies to teach skills to their young.3 Hewitt (1996) believes that acts o f academic dishonesty undermine the validity o f teaching andlearning.4 Edelso (2002) claims that legal rights and safeguards lead to investments by individuals, which hasa higher impact on raising living standards o f countries than these countries，natural resourceshave.。

To attain this, it is necessary fo r the communicators o f radiation inform ation to be fam iliar w ith the laypeople’s perceptions o f these phenomena. A questionnaire survey was conducted to examine non-experts’ conceptions o f radiation phenomena. The survey revealed an incomplete understanding o f concepts such as radioactive decay, h a lf-life and absorption o f radia tio n and a lack o f differentiation o f between radiation and radioactive materials. Many respondents did not distinguish between sources o f ionising radiation and other environmental hazards. Nuclear power plants and submarines were the most feared sources o f radiation. There are indications that the lay understanding o f radiation phenomena and risk is to a large extent formed by mass media and that “school knowledge” o f these phenomena is not applied in situations belonging to the “real w orld”To resolve this problem, new teaching and inform ation procedures are needed.

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to importantdifferences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day. 10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches tolearning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2. Chinese1) Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2) Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over timeAmericans1) Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2) Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1) Summarizing(2) value originality and independence(3) contrast between(4) in terms of(5) harbor(6) fearful(7) comparable(8) promote creativity(9) emerge(10) picked upLanguage FocusVocabularyI1.1) insert2) on occasion3) investigate4) In retrospect5) initial6) phenomena7) attached8) make up for9) is awaiting10) not; in the least11) promote12) emerged2.1) a striking contrast between the standards of living in the north of the country and the south.2) is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) by a little-known sixteen-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3.1) be picked up; can’t accomplish; am exaggerating2) somewhat; the performance; have neglected; they apply to3) assist; On the other hand; are valid; a superiorII1.1) continual2) continuous3) continual4) continuous2.1) principal2) principal3) principle4) principles5) principalIII1. themselves2. himself/herself3. herself/by herself/on her own4. itself5. ourselves6. yourself/by yourself/on your own Comprehensive ExercisesI. cloze1.(1) contrast(2) exaggerating(3) priority(4) on the other hand(5) promoting(6) pick up(7) assist(8) accomplish(9) occasion(10) neglecting(11) worthwhile(12) superior2.0-(2) perform(3) facing(4) competent(5) equipped(6) designed(7) approach(8) rest(9) definitely(10) qualityII. translation1.(1) It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure from the tradition.(2) Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to give a performance in front of a large audience.(3) Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spirit in the child at an early age.(4) Assuming this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it’s worthwhile to buy it(5) If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we are investigating.2.To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.

They always fittedand were always con firmed.4) Light must be attracted by heavy bodies (such as the sun).5) There is the risk in volved in a predict ion: the theory is in compatible with certa in possibleresults of observati on — in fact with results which everybody before Ein stein would have expected.4.

Only through being refuted by new observatio ns which are in compatible with the theory could it be falsified, which ref lects its truescie ntific virtue.2) A hypothesis is a possible soluti on to a problem, based on kno wledge and research, whilea theory is a hypothesis con firmed by the research findin gs. Every theory cannot be appliedto every situati on; otherwise, it is not a good theory.3) It is always possible to verify n early every theory, but that would rescue the theory fromrefutation at the price of destroying, or at least lowering its scientific status.4) To falsify a theory is more valuable, because a theory which is not refutable by any conceivable eve nt is non-scie ntific.9. 1) Because of this personal experience and an interest in the problem, you decide to learn moreabout what makes pla nts grow. (Para. B)2) The experime nt that you will desig n is done to test the hypothesis. (Para.

Observatio n, the in itial stage of the research, requires a thorough un dersta nding ofa research project you have chose n by collect ing adequate in formati on from various sources,and is followed by the next stage known as hypothesis, an un complicated stateme nt that defi nes what you think the outcome of your experime nt will be.Explori ng the Topic4. 1) Science does not in clude expla nati ons based on no empirical evide nce.2) The huma n n ature of scie nce, however, ren ders it un likely to be free of pers onalprejudices, misapprehe nsions, and bias.3) The scope of scie nce en compasses the whole uni verse and n atural world.4) Scie nce is a process of decidi ng whether the acquired evide nce may prove what is mostlikely to be correct curre ntly.5) It is not possible to prove a hypothesis with a single experiment, as chances are thata mistake was made somewhere in the process.In tegrated Exercises2.

The scientific method is a series of steps that serve as guideli nes for scie ntific efforts, and a tool that helps scie ntists solve problems and determ ine an swers to questi ons in a logical format. There are two forms of scie ntific method: the experime ntal method and the descriptive method. The former employs nu merical data and graphs, used in physical scie nces, while the latter gathers In formatio n through visual observati on and in terviewi ng, employed in zoology and an thropology. The scie ntific method in volves five steps, n amely, ide ntify ing a problem, research ing the problem, formulat ing a hypothesis, con duct ing an experime nt and reach ing a con clusi on.C. (1) The process of scie nee, in con trast to the lin ear steps of the simplified scie ntific method,is iterative.(2) Scie nee circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn even more about the n atural world.(3) Gregor Men del showed that i nherita nee is particulate that in formati on is passedalong in discrete packets that cannot be diluted.(4) Any point in the process leads to many possible n ext steps, and where that next stepleads could be a surprise.(5) Scie nee may in volve many differe nt people en gaged in all sorts of differe ntactivities in differe nt orders and at differe nt points in time.D.

The feudalism of China differed greatly from that of Europe in that its bureaucraticorga ni zati on promoted the growth of scie nee in ancient China but i nhibited its further developme nt later on.Explori ng the Topic4. 1) In creas in gly being bewitched by the adva need Europea n tech no logy, the Chin esehaveforgotte n their own achieveme nts.2) A book like that would be absolutely non-academic; it would n evertheless have afar-reachi ng in flue nee on the gen eral history of thought and ideas.3) The less on to be draw n from the history of agriculture can best illustrate the ignoranceof the egoistic wester ners.4) The Chin ese and Westerners are equally surprised whe n they realize that moder nagriculture, moder n shipp ing and even the esse ntial desig n of the steam engine all origi nated from Chi na.5) A clear un dersta nding among the n ati ons and the peoples of the world would be welcomedto bridge the gap betwee n East and West.5. 2) The deafe ning no ise, and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on n erves.Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do great injury to delicate lun gs. The sudde n plunging of a train into the dark ness of a tunn el, and the equally sudde n rush into full daylight, would cause great damage to the eyesight.3) What was it that en abled them to become great or successful? Were they born with something special? Or did their great ness have more to do with tim ing, devoti on and, perhaps, an un compromis ing pers on ality? The an swer is a n ever surre nder attitude.

It involves gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence, the collection of data through observationand experimentation, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.2)Scientists put forward hypotheses to explain what is observed. They then conduct experimentsto test these hypotheses. The steps taken in the experiment must be capable of replication and the results emerge as the same. What is discovered may lead to a new hypothesis.3) Scientists are human and can be unintentionally biased; total objectivity is impossible.4) Scientists are human and can be unintentionally biased. Science uses our senses and our sensescan be mistaken. We can never understandsomething as it really is because our very presenceaffects what is being studied.5) ①Science is both a body of knowledge and a process.②Science is exciting.③Science is useful.④Science is ongoing.⑤Science is reliable.⑥Science is a community endeavor.2. 1) c2) g3) e4) f5) a6) d7) h8) k 9) b10) i11) j4.

They always fitted andwere always confirmed.4) Light must be attracted by heavy bodies (such as the sun).5) There is the risk involved in a prediction: the theory is incompatible with certain possible results of observation —in fact with results which everybody before Einstein would have expected.4.

Instead, try to explain what might have been wrongwith your original hypothesis.4) An important thing to remember during this stage of the scientific method is that once you develop a hypothesis and a prediction, you shouldn’t change it, even if the results of your experiment show that you were wrong.5) Because there is a chance that you made a miscue somewhere along the way.7.

In this process, one should expect an event which could refute the theory. Only through beingrefuted by new observations which are incompatible with the theory could it be falsified,which ref lects its truescientific virtue.2) A hypothesis is a possible solution to a problem, based on knowledge and research, while atheory is a hypothesis confirmed by the research findings. Every theory cannot be applied toevery situation; otherwise, it is not a good theory.3) It is always possible to verify nearly every theory, but that would rescue the theory from refutation at the price of destroying, or at least lowering its scientific status.4) To falsify a theory is more valuable, because a theory which is not refutable by any conceivable event is non-scientific.9. 1) Because of this personal experience and an interest in the problem, you decide to learn moreabout what makes plants grow.

Observation, the initial stage of the research, requires a thorough understanding of a research project you have chosen by collecting adequate information from various sources, and isfollowed by the next stage known as hypothesis, an uncomplicated statement thatdefineswhat you think the outcome of your experiment will be.Exploring the Topic4. 1) Science does not include explanations based on no empirical evidence.2) The human nature of science, however, renders it unlikely to be free of personal prejudices,misapprehensions, and bias.3) The scope of science encompasses the whole universe and natural world.4) Science is a process of deciding whether the acquired evidence may prove what is most likely to be correct currently.5) It is not possible to prove a hypothesis witha single experiment, as chances are that amistake was made somewhere in the process.Integrated Exercises2.

The scientificmethod is a series of steps that serve as guidelines for scientific efforts, and a tool that helps scientists solve problems and determine answers to questions in a logical format.There are two forms of scientific method: the experimental method and the descriptivemethod. The former employs numerical data and graphs, used in physical sciences, whilethe latter gathers Information through visual observation and interviewing, employed inzoology and anthropology. The scientific method involves five steps, namely, identifying aproblem, researching the problem, formulating a hypothesis, conducting an experiment andreaching a conclusion.C. (1) The process of science, in contrast to the linear steps of the simplified scientific method,is iterative.(2) Science circles back on itself so that useful ideas are built upon and used to learn evenmore about the natural world.(3) Gregor Mendel showed thatinheritance is particulate that information is passed along indiscrete packets that cannot be diluted.(4) Any point in the process leads to many possible next steps, and where that next step leads could be a surprise.(5) Science may involve many different people engaged in all sorts of different activities indifferent orders and at different points in time.D.

All originated in China buthave long since been adopted by the West.3) They helped to inspire the European agricultural and industrial revolutions.4) It has won five literary awards in America and been translated into 43 languages.5) His book, The Spirit of Chinese Invention, was approved by the Chinese Ministry ofEducation for use in connection with the national secondary curriculum in China.2. 1) f2) k3) c4) a5) o6) n 7) g8) e9) d10) m 11) i12) h13) j14) l15) b4.

Because he believed that a proper popular book would have a wide bearing onthe general history of thoughts and ideas,which could not be possible if the book was tooacademic.Reading about the Topic3. 1) Both Westerners and Chinese people are ignorant of the fact that the West imported a lot ofinventions from ancient China.2) Because more than half of the basic inventions and discoveries upon which the “modernworld”rests come from China.3) Because they take many great achievements for granted, and even the Chinese themselveslost sight of the truth, so their western inheritors wouldn’t trouble themselves to know thetruth.4) Because it is always more satisfying to the ego to think that they have reached theirpresent position alone and unaided, and that they are the proud masters of all abilities andall crafts.4.

The purpose is to let them know the truth and then tobridge the chasm between the East and the West.4) The bureaucratic organization of China in its earlier stages strongly helped science to grow; only in its later ones did it inhibit further growth, and in particular prevented a breakthrough which has occurred in Europe.5) The author points out the reasons why China was developed in the past but backward atpresent and why the West was underdeveloped in the past but advanced at present.7.

Reading 1 tends to be factual, while Reading 2 is more critical of the factthat the Chinese are ignorant of their ancient achievements and the Westerners simply takethem for granted.2) The argument in Reading 2 is more reasonable and acceptable since the author uses a lot ofexamples and examines the question from both the Chinese and Western perspectives toillustrate his point.3) Reading 2 holds more obvious negative attitudes towards Westerners.4) It would be better if the nations and the peoples of the world had a clearerunderstandingof each other, allowing the mental gap between East and West to be bridged. (Reading 2)The discoveries and inventions made in Europe in the seventeenth century and thereafterdepended so much in so many cases on centuries of previous Chinese progress in science,technology and medicine. (Reading 3)9. 1) He regarded the origins of these inventions as “obscure”and he died without everknowing that all of them were Chinese. (Para. B)2) Chauvinistic Westerners, of course, always try to minimize the indebtedness of Europe toChina in the ancient and the Middle Ages, but often the circumstantial evidence iscompelling. (Para. C)3) In many cases we simply cannot identify the channels through which knowledge was conveyed from East to West. (Para. C)4) Modern science which developed in the seventeenth century was a mathematization of hypotheses about nature, combined with experimentation. (Para. D)5) One factor which must have great relevance here is the circumstance that the feudalism ofEurope and China were fundamentally different. (Para. E)10.The feudalism of China differed greatly from that of Europe in that its bureaucratic organization promoted the growth of science in ancient China but inhibited its further development later on.Exploring the Topic4. 1) Increasingly being bewitched by the advanced European technology, the Chinese haveforgotten their own achievements.2) A book like that would be absolutely non-academic; it would nevertheless have a far-reaching influence on the general history of thought and ideas.3) The lesson to be drawn from the history of agriculture can best illustrate the ignorance ofthe egoistic westerners.4) The Chinese and Westerners are equally surprised when they realize that modernagriculture, modern shipping and even the essential design of the steam engine alloriginated from China.5) A clear understanding among the nations and the peoples of the world would be welcomedto bridge the gap between East and West.5. 2) The deafening noise, and the glare of the engine fire, would have a bad effect on nerves.Further, being moved through the air at a high speed would do great injury to delicatelungs. The sudden plunging of a traininto the darkness of a tunnel, and the equally suddenrush into full daylight, would cause great damage to the eyesight.3) What was it that enabled them to become great or successful? Were they born withsomething special? Or did their greatness have more to do with timing, devotion and,perhaps, an uncompromising personality? The answer is a never surrender attitude. If greatachievers share anything, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. There is a tendency to thinkthat they are endowed with something super-normal.Integrated Exercises2.
