Unit 6 Is an Only-Child a Lonely Child?1.Many couples, who already have one healthy, happy child, are facing a dilemma,namely, the issue of whether or not to have a second child. They have demanding jobs and limited time and financial resources, but they are also very keen to ensure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So, what are the pros and cons of having a second child?Is an only child a lonely child? That is what so many couples are very much concerned about and eager to understand.2.The issue of whether to have a second child is one of the most difficult issues thatparents nowadays face. A concern that is often heard with regard to single child is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many single-child parents feel a stigma associated with their decision to have only one child.There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times,especially during vacations.3.Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be morespoiled than one with siblings.Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others, and respect the give-and-take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.4.Despite these arguments, the number of parents choosing to have only one child isincreasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, 14 percent of women between18 and 34 plan to have just one child, and this percentage is expected to rise. The same trendcan be seen in the UK. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, the overall number of British children being born each year has declined. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had declined to 1.42 by 1996, while latest statistics cite less than one child.This has led to government concerns about supporting an increasing population of elderly people in the future; it is predicted that, by 2020, a third of the population in Japan will be aged 65 or over.5.For some single-child parents, particularly those with busy careers, the pressures ofdevoting time and energy to a second child can seem too overwhelming, resulting in them electing to have no more children. For other parents, the financial burden of having a second child may be the prime consideration. According to government surveys, many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to the age of 18 is estimated to be around 20 million yen, equivalent to around US $160,000.6.Advocates of single-child families argue that there are advantages for the child as wellas the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is no potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy. Moreover, with only one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive, more quality timeand attention. This often leads to increased self-esteem which, combined with increased independence, can lead to the child being more confident.7.Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have asecond child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique,and what is appropriate for one family may not be for another. The important thing, in the end, is to makea decision that both you and your spouse feel confident about.Paragraph 1Words and Expressions1. dilemma n.a situation in which it is difficult to decide what to do, because each choice has its advantages and disadvantagese.g. The bad weather put us in a dilemma whether to leave or stay.Collocation:be in a dilemmae.g. I’m in a dilemma about this job offer.我不知道是否要接受这份工作。

第六单元Translation of Text A青香蕉1尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生，但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。
我那老式吉普车正吃力地穿过景色优美的乡村，这时，水箱突然漏水了，而离我最近的汽车修理站也还要十英里。
发动机过热迫使我在临近的村庄停了下来。
村里有一个小商店和分布在四处的几座房子。
有村民围过来看，三股细细的热水柱从水箱外壳上的小孔喷出来。
“这容易解决，”一个人说到。
他让一个小男孩跑去拿些青香蕉来。
这个人还拍了拍我的肩膀，安慰我问题会解决的。
“青香蕉。
”他笑了，其余的人都这么说着。
2我和他们闲聊起来，心里却一直在想他们用这青香蕉怎么能修补好水箱。
毫无疑问，提问会暴露我的无知，因此我开始赞叹眼前美丽的乡村景色。
耸立在我们周围巨大的岩石群，很像里约热内卢著名的糖面包山。
“看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”那人指着一块特别高而且细长的黑色石柱问我，“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”3我看着他，想知道他是否在和我开玩笑，但他却表情严肃，反过来认真地审视着我，似乎想确定我是否领会了他那句话的深刻含义。
这种情况要求我必须表现出认同。
他点头说：“绝对是中心。
这儿的人都知道。
”4这时，小男孩抱着青香蕉回来了。
那个男子把其中一根掰成两半，将其断口处按在水箱的外壳上。
香蕉遇到炙热的金属融成了胶，立刻就堵住了漏洞。
面对如此情景，我惊呆了，我当时的表情一定是傻傻的，所有的人都笑了起来。
他们把我的水箱装满水，又让我带上一些香蕉，以防沿途中水箱再出问题。
路上，我又用了一次青香蕉，一个小时后，我开着车到达了目的地。
当地的一修理工笑着问我：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我告诉了他那个村子的名字。
“他们有没有指给你看标志世界中心的那块岩石?”他问道。
我告诉他，他们指给我看了。
“我祖父就是那儿的人，”他说，“那的确是中心。
一直以来这儿的人都知道。
”5作为美国教育的产物，除了把青香蕉当作还没长熟的水果，我从来就没注意过它。
