中石油2016通用英语选读课文
4 How to Negotiate<谈判> with Americans如何与美国人谈判1.美国是一个富有吸引力的市场。
它给世界带来的诸如“股东价值”和“首次公开募股”的商业文化近几年来一直引导着商业思想，并且在未来几年内还将保持。
但是无论是谁，想要在美国取得成功，都必须记住游戏的规则。
2.美国的商业，在《纽约，纽约》这首歌的歌词中是这样描述的：“如果你能在这里取得成功，你就能在别的任何地方取得成功!” 但是愉快的做生意的方法是绝对不够的。
虽然在美国的商业沟通是愉快的和自在的，但是它同时也因为不讲情面而成为焦点。
3.沟通是美国人与生俱来的才能。
双方谈判的时候，闲聊和微笑是很重要的。
美国人比英国人更幽默也更直接。
（that 引导定语从句，可以译为：美国人自由地使用幽默感，这种幽默感比英国人更加直接。
）如果你和美国人谈话，要很放松并且要准备很多笑话来吸引听众的注意力。
4.美国人不拘礼节。
商业伙伴不会在他们的名片上写他们的毕业院校。
会议期间会提供一些用塑料瓶或盒子装的三明治和饮料。
你的生意伙伴很可能会在办公室随意地做一些事情或聊他们的家庭。
5.“时间就是金钱”这种态度在美国的生意场上的影响力比其他任何领域都强。
在简单的寒暄之后，美国谈判双方很快地切入主题，甚至社会上举办的联欢会都会被利用来讨论生意。
6.美国人做生意很注重实效，他们就是想赢。
相比之下，发展与商业伙伴的个人关系（与得到的谈判结果相比）就不是那么重要了。
7.而且美国谈判者想最快地获得结果。
金融情况时刻受到关注（或直译为“财务业绩每季上报”），这对在短期内保证收益很重要。
因此，许多美国契约在前言里面包含“时间就是生命”这一条款。
所以美国人谈判很性急，但这不应该被理解为无礼，而是因为“时间就是金钱”的理念在起作用。
8.因为战略合作和其他的长期项目都是以其潜在的快速投资回报率来进行评价的，这种态度会对谈判有很大的影响。
(本句也可译为：“时间就是金钱”的这种态度对谈判具有很大的影响，因为，战备合作和其他的长期项目都是以获得快速投资回报的潜能来进行评价的。

51. Those Fascinating Northern Lights 迷人的北极光（2016新增）1. At 10:00 p.m. on March 23，1969, the Bowater Power Water Company in Deer Lake, Newfoundland experienced a disturbance on its system. The frequency converter at Comer Brook tripped off, shutting down half of the big paper mill. There was a radio blackout over most of the Atlantic Provinces. And accompanying these activities was a magnificient display of northern lights —boiling up out of the north and hanging in bundles of long rays like draperies across the sky. Ninety-three million miles away, a rather ugly looking sunspot was making its way across the disc of the sun.1. 1969年3月23曰晚上10点，保华特水电公司（the Bowater Power Water Company)位于纽芬兰（Newfoundland)鹿湖的设备系统出现了异常；科纳布鲁克（ComerBrook)的变频器跳间，使得一半的大造纸厂停产；大西洋沿岸各省的无线电中断。

Broken families usually result in problems for children and parents alike.Children blame themselves when their parents separate.They grow up feeling unsettled as they are mo ve d back and forth betw een ually one par ent is responsible for raising the children.These single par ents must care for the children's emotional and psychological n e eds while also supporting them financially.This is very d e man d in g and leaves very little time for the parent's own personal interests.Single par ents o ften marry other single parents.In this type of family,unrelated children are forced t o develop brother or sister relationship.The situations of many American families today are n o t good.However,recent signs indicate that things are getting better.The divorce rate is declining.The rate of childbirth is rising.P erhaps Americans have learned how important families are.51.T o parents who take the responsibility for children's expenses,the cost of living increasesbecauseA.children att end school for mor e yearsB.children are better dr essedC.children s pend mo r e money on entertainmentD.all of the above52.What problems would broken families bring t o both children and parents?A.Children grow up feeling unsettled and parents didn't pay muc h attention to children.B.Children grow up feeling free and one parent is responsible for raising the children.C.Children are mo ve d back and forth betw een parents and the single par ent is busy working t o mak e money t o support himself/herself.D.Children grow up feeling unsettled,and the parents have little time for his/her owninterests because one parent is too busy taking care of children.53.According t o the author,the situations of American families in the future may__A.become worseB.remain the sameC.g e t betterD.k eep u nch ange d54.The title of t he article might be__A.American ChildrenB.American FamiliesC.American MotherD.American ParentsQuestions55t o58are b a s e d on the following passage:When I was studying at Y ale,some phenomena puzzled me greatly.I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor,asking questions and dominating the discussion.The Chinese students were no t as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(讨论会).The professor didn't act as an authority,giving final conclusions,bu t as a researcher looking for answers to questionst ogether with the students.One linguistic(语言的)feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal(情态的)verbs--far mo r e than I did in Beiwai.When answering questions,he usually said,"This is my personal opinion and it could be wrong."or"Y ou could be right,bu t you might find this point of view also interesting."In China,authorities are alwayss u ppos ed to give wise decisions and correct directions.Therefore,students always expect the professor t o give an answer to the question,i still r e me mber how frustrated they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer.Their expectations from authorities are much higher than that of American students.Once the Chinese students got the answer,they were sure a bo u t it.Education in China is valued for united thinking.I r emember American teachers who taught in our university complaining a bo u t the fact that Chinese students uniformly expressed the sa me idea in their English composition.The examinations in America usually do not test a student's ability to memorize the material bu t his ability t o analyze and solve cation in America is valued no t only as a me ans to obtain employment bu t as a process of enhancing critical thinking.55.In the USA,when the students are in class,__A.a Chinese student t ends to be very activeB.an American student likes to mak e troubleC.a Chinese student likes to puzzle the teacherD.an American student tends t o be vigorous56.A teacher in the USA prefers t o__when he answers questions.A.be very sincereB.be very directC.be very self-confidentD.be very indifferent57.What is the opinion of the author concerning the difference of teaching methods betw een China and the USA?A.He thinks that Chinese teaching methods can mak e students learn more.B.He holds that the major purpose of Chinese teaching methods is t o improve students'remembrance.C.He thinks that American teaching is ability oriented.D.He holds that American teachers hate to give a test.58.The author thinks that the relationship betw een the student and the teacher is__A.mo r e intimate in ChinaB.closer in ChinaC.looser in USAD.mo r e harmonious in USAQuestions59t o62are b a s e d on the following passage:With a tr e mendous roar from its rocket engine,the satellite is sent up into the sky.Minutes later,at an altitude of300miles,this tiny electronic moon begins to orbit a bo u t the earth.Its radio begins to transmit an astonishing amount of information a bou t the satellite's orbital path,the amount of radiation it detects,and the presence of rmation of all kinds races back t o the earth.No human being could possibly copy down all these facts,much less r e member and organize them.But an electronic comput er can.The marvel of the machine age,the electronic computer has been in use only since1946.It can do simple computations--add,subtract,multiply and divide--with lighting speed and perfect accuracy.Some computers can work500,000times faster than any person can.Once it is given a"program"--that is,a carefully worked o u t set of instructions devised bya technician trained in comput er language--a comput er can gather a wide range of information for many purposes.For the scientist it can ge t information from outer space or from the depth of the ocean.In business and industry the computer prepar es factory inventories,k eeps track of sales trends and production needs,mails dividend checks,and makes o u t company payrolls.It can k eep bank accounts up t o d a t e and mak e ou t electric bills.If you are planning a trip by plane,the computer will find ou t what t o take and what space is available.Not only can the comput er gather facts,it can also store them as fast as they are gather ed and can pour them ou t whenever they are needed.The computer is really a high pow er ed"memory" machine that"has all the answers"--or almost all.Besides gathering and storing information,the computer can also solve complicated problems that once took mo n ths for people t o do.At times computers seem almost human.They can"read"hand printed letters,play chess,c o mpo s e music, write plays and even design other computers.Is it any wonder that they are sometimes called "thinking"machines?Even though they are taking over some of the tasks that were once accomplished by our ownbrains,computers are no t replacing us at least no t yet.Our brain has mo r e than10million cells.A computer has only a few h u nd r e d thousand parts.For some time to come,then,we can safely say that our brains are at least10,000times mo r e complex than a computer.How we use them is for us,not the computer,to decide.59."Program"me ans__A.a plan of what is t o be doneB.a complete show on a TV station at a fixed time tableC.a scheduled performanceD.series of co ded instructions t o control the operations of a computer60.The comput er is a high pow er ed"memory"machine,which__A.has all the ready answers--or almost all t o any questionsB.can r e me mber everythingC.can store everything and work for youD.has all the answers--or almost t o all the information that has been stored61."Thinking"machines suggest that__A.they can"read"hand printed letters etcB.they really can think and do many other jobsC.they even design other computersD.they can't think,bu t can do something under human control62.Can computers do whatever they want to do?Why?A.Yes,because some computers can work500,000times faster than any person can.B.No,because they normally have a few h u nd r ed thousand parts.C.No,because human brains are at least10000times mo r e complex than any computers.D.No,because how a computer works is decided by human.Questions63t o66are b as e d on the following passage:Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste.The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that go e s into the dumps would be made into something useful.Even the mos t danger ous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is t o take a city of ar ound half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out.The aim is t o find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city.This plant would recycle n ot only metal such as steel,lead and copper,bu t also p aper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up t o discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish.When this project is complete,the rubbish will be processed like this:first,it will pass thr ough sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic b a gs in which rubbish is usually packed;then it will pass thr ough a powerful fan t o separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that gr ounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken.Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets,which will r emove the bits of iron and steel;the rubber and plastic will then be sorted ou t in the final stage.The first full scale giant recycling plants are,perhaps,fifteen years away.Indeed,with the growing cost of transporting rubbish t o mo r e distant dumps,some big cities will be forced t o build their own recycling plants before long.63.The main purpose of the p assage is__A.t o show us a future way of recycling wastesB.t o tell the importance of recycling wastesC.t o warn people the danger of some wastesD.to introduce a new recycling plant64.How many stages are there in the recycling process?A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.65.What is the main r eason for big cities t o build their own recycling plants?A.T o deal with wastes in a better way.B.It's a good way t o gain profits.C.It's mo r e economical than to dump wastes in some distant places.D.Energy can be got at a lower price.66.Which of the following statements is true?A.The word"rubbish"will s oon disappear from dictionaries.B.Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing bu t energy.C.T o recycle p aper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new recycling methods.D.Big cities will soo n have their own recycling plants.Section BDirections:Y ou should answer questions67-75which are based on the following passages.Mark your answer on the answer sheet.The Motor CarA There are now over700million mo t or vehicles in the world and the nu mber is rising by mo r ethan40million each year.The average distance driven by car users is growing too-from8 km a day per person in western Europe in1965to25km a day in1995.This dependence on mo tor vehicles has given rise t o major problems,including environmental pollution, depletion of oil resources,traffic congestion and safety.B While emissions from new cars are far less harmful than they used to be,city streets andmotorways are becoming mo r e crowded than ever,often with older trucks,buses and taxis which emit excessive levels of smok e and fumes.This concentration of vehicles mak es air quality in urban areas unpleasant and sometimes danger ous to breathe.Even Moscow hasi use and largerjoined the list of capitals afflicted by congestion and traffic fumes. In Mexico City, vehiclepollution is a major health hazard.C Until a hund r ed years ago, most journeys were in the 20 km range, the distance convenientlyaccessible by horse. Heavy freight could only be carried by water or rail. The invention of the mo tor vehicle br ought personal mobility t o the masses and made rapid freight delivery possible over a much wider area. In the United Kingdom, a bo u t 90 per cent of inland freight is carried by road. Clearly the world cannot revert t o the horse-drawn wagon. Can it avoidbeing locked into congest ed and polluting ways of transporting people and goods?D In Europe mos t cities arc still designed for the old modes of transport. Adaptation to the mo torcar has involved adding ring roads, one-way systems and parking lots. In the United States, mo r e land is assigned to car use than to housing. Urban sprawl means that life without a car is next to impossible. Mass use of mo t or vehicles has also killed or injured millions of people. Other social effects have been blamed on the car such as alienation and aggressive humanbehaviour .E A 1993 study by the European Federation for T ransport and Environment found that cartransport is seven times as costly as rail travel in terms of the external social costs it entailssuch as congestion, accidents, pollution, loss of cropland and natural habitats ，depletion of oil resources, and so on. Y et cars easily surpass trains or buses as a flexible and convenient mode of personal transport. It is unrealistic t o expect people t o give up private cars in favour ofmass transit.F T echnical solutions can reduce t he pollution pr oblem and increase the fuel efficiency of engines.But fuel consumption and exhaust emissions depend on which cars arc preferred bycustomers and how they are driven. Many people buy larger cars than they need for dailypurposes or waste fuel by driving aggressively . Besides, global car use 彡 increasing at afaster rate than the improvement in emissions and fuel efficiency which technology isnow making possible.G One solution that has been pu t forward is the long-term solution of designing cities andneighbourhoods so that car journeys are no t necessary - all essential services beinglocated within walking distance or easily accessible by public transport. Not only wouldthis save energy and cut carbon dioxide emissions, it would also enhance the quality ofcommunity life, putting the emphasis on people instead of cars. Good local government isalready bringing this a bo u t in some places. But few democratic communities are blessedwith the vision - and the capital - t o mak e such pr o found changes in modem lifestyles.H A mo r e likely scenario seems to be a combination of mass transit systems for travel into andaround cities, with small “low emission” cars for urban hybrid or lean bum cars for use elsewhere. Electronically tolled highways might be used t o ensure that driverspay charges ge ar ed to actual r o ad use. Better integration of transport systems is alsohighly desirable-and made mo r e feasible by modem computers.But these are solutions for countries which can afford them.In most developing countries,old cars and old technologies continue t o predominate.Questions67-72This p assage has eight paragraphs labelled A-H.Which paragraphs concentrate on the followinginformation?Choose the correct letter A-H for questions67-72and mark your answer on the answer sheet.NB Y ou may use any letter mo r e than once.67.a comparison of past and present transportation methods68.how driving habits contribute t o r o ad problems69.the relative merits of cars and public transport70.the writer's own prediction of future solutions71.the increasing use of mo t or vehicles72.the impact of the car on city developmentQuestions73-75Do the following statements agr ee with the views of the writer in this passage?For questions 73-75,chooseA.if the stat ement agr ees with the views of the writer(YES)B.if the stat ement contradicts the views of the writer(NO)C.if it is impossible t o say what the writer thinks a bo u t this(NOT GIVEN)73.V ehicle pollution is worse in European cities t han anywhere else.74.T echnology alone cannot solve the pr oblem of vehicle pollution.75.R edesigning cities would be a short-term solution.。
中石油2016通用英语选读课文46Cultural Taboos文化禁忌
46 Cultural Taboos<禁忌> 文化禁忌1. The speed and convenience<便利> of modern travel means that destinations<目的地>that used to take a long time to travel to<朝…旅行>can now be reached quickly and easily.Even though "faraway" countries may now seem closer thanks to<由于，多亏> air travel, they may still be different from your home country. Therefore, it is important to adapt<适应于，改善>your behavior so that you don't insult<冒犯，凌辱>or offend<得罪> the local people. The following are some fundamental<基本的> rules that will make communication easier and your trip more enjoyable.1、现代旅行的速度和便捷意味着过去需要花很长时间才能抵达的目的地现在可以又快又轻松地到达。
尽管由于可以乘坐飞机旅行，“遥远”的国家似乎更近了，但是它们也许仍然与你自己的国家有所不同。
因此，改善你的行为从而不冒犯或不得罪当地人非常重要。
以下几条基本规则将会使交际变得更容易，使你的旅行更愉快。
2. First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you do not know the word for something in the local language, or cannot make yourself understood verbally<adv口头地，用言辞地>, try drawing a picture or pointing to an object. Remember, though, that pointing directly at a person can be highly offensive<无礼的，冒犯的>in some cultures. If you have to point something out, do so<如此做> by gesturing<做手势> towards the object, with the palm<手掌> of your hand flat<变平>, facing upward, and your fingers outstretched<伸出，扩大>. Before you travel, try learning some basic words or phrases of the local language. Most useful are those that express gratitude<感激> and politeness<有礼貌>such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings<问候用语>.2、首先，千万不要为了让别人听懂你的话语而提髙嗓门高声大叫(in order to do sth. 为了做某事)。

21.And All That Jazz关乎爵士乐(2016版新增)1.Have you ever heard the expression（说法、表达）, —and all that Jazz”？When people say that to day, it’s slang which means much the same thing as et cetera （等等）or “and so forth（等等）.” You may use it yourself. Jazz, it seems, has had quite a few（相当多）meanings. Through the history （历史）of jazz, it has meant many different kinds of music to many different people.1.你听过这种说法吗，“像爵士乐一般，诸如此类的东西”？现在人们把它用作俚语，意思和“等等”，“以此类推”类似。
When you travel at high speeds
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other places. But actually, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again..For me ,travelling and arriving are one and the same thing: I arrive somewhere with every step I make. I experience the present moment with my eyes, my ears and the whole of my body. I knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be mine: the just reward of all true travelers.当你以很高的速度旅行时，“现在”就什么都不是：你主要生活在未来，因为你多半时间在盼望赶到别的一个地方去。
但是当你真的到达了目的地，你的到达也没有什么意义。
你还要继续前行。
像这样子旅行，你什么也没有经历；你的现在并不是现实：跟死亡没有什么两样。
另一方面，徒步旅行者却总是生活在现在。
对他来说，旅行和到达是同一件事情：他是一步一步走着来到某地的。
他在用自己的眼睛、耳朵和整个身体体验现在。
在他旅途的终点，他感到一种愉悦的生理疲惫。
他知道他会享受深沉而甜蜜的睡眠：这是对一切真正旅行者的酬报。
站在城市的寂静处，无需目的的游荡于那不熟悉的街角，我喜欢这种感觉，充满不确定，总给人希望，前方一定还会有你意想不到的风景，在路上，你可以感受不同饮食，不同习俗，不同文化的交融与碰撞，谁知道在下一个街角又会遇见怎样的你我，开始怎样的对白，旅行就好像是走进一部戏里去欣赏戏剧本身的千姿百态，比任何一部剧作都要来的真实，来得震撼，因为我们本身就活在这部戏里。

27 When You Travel to a Large City旅行在都市1.For many travelers there is nothing like a big city.The big cities of a nation offer things that are usually not found in other places.Outstanding<杰出的、显著地> museums,plays,music, and dance groups are examples.Shops that seem to<似乎、好像> sell everything under the sun,great buildings,famous businesses,and very fine restaurants also are common<普遍>. 1.对许多游客来说大城市是独一无二的。
一个国家的大城市总是奉献给人们在其他地区绝对找不到的东西，奇妙的博物馆、戏剧、音乐、舞蹈等。
在商店里似乎可以买到世上任何东西，高楼大厦、著名企业、有名的餐馆等更是随处可见。
2.For many travelers,therefore<因此>,the city is the place to be.Yet<然而>,for some,the city has become a place to fear<害怕、恐惧>.They see the city as a place with too many people,too much traffic,and yes,too much crime<犯罪率>.2.因此，城市让一些人向往；而大城市的人满为患、交通拥挤，当然还有居高不下的犯罪率，又令人们感到恐惧。
3.Nobody can deny<否认>that such problems are there or that the traveler has to deal with<处理>them in some way<在某种程度上>.But these problems need not keep the visitor from enjoying the many good things that cities have to offer.3.没人会否认这些问题的存在，游客们也必须学会应对它们，但这并不影响游客们去享受城市带给他们美妙。
4.Here are a few suggestions and safety rules which can help the visitor to have more fun and fewer worries.Keep them in mind the next time you travel to a large city so that you can make the most of your visit.4.下面这些建议和安全提示可以帮助游客们减少担忧，从而尽情享受。
当您下次到大城市旅行时，记住这些小贴士，你就可以充分享受你的旅行。
5.Choose a hotel which has a good reputation<声誉>.Don’t choose just any place from a list of hotels and prices.Try to talk with<与…交谈> someone who has been there.5.选择一家口碑好的酒店。
不要只凭名字和价格来做决定，尽量找一些曾经住过那里的人，听听他的意见。
6.If you are planning to drive to a city for the first time,figure out<计算出、规划> your route in detail<详细的> ahead of time<提前>.Mark<标出>it carefully on a map,or write out<写出> the directions<方向> very carefully.6.如果你计划第一次就自驾车旅行，请提前尽量详细地规划路线，在地图上仔细地标注出来，或是把路线方向写出来。
7.Park your car in the garage<车库>of your hotel or in a regular<正规的> parking garage.It is almost impossible to be sure of finding street parking.And your car will be saferin a garage anyway.Leave only the ignition<n点火> key and no other with the person on duty<值班>.Take anything important out of the inside of the car and the trunk<这里指：后备箱>.7.把车停在酒店的车库或室内停车场。
在路边停车，你很难有把握再找到它，因此停在车库会更安全。
给当班的人只留下点火钥匙，任何重要的物品不要留在车里或后备箱中。
8.When you get to your hotel,leave any large amounts of cash and anything else of value in the hotel safe<保险箱、安全>.Take them out only as you need them.It is wise not to show a lot of jewelry anyway.If you must keep things of value in your room,at least<至少> lock them in a suitcase<手提箱> before you go out.8.到达酒店后，要把大量的现金和值钱之物保存在酒店的保险箱里，只在需要的时候取出来。
无论如何不要露富。
