Unit 7 Environment Eliasch: We are in a somewhat distressed situation given where we are with the ... with the global warming and the disastrous effects that can have on the environment and the way we live life. And we’ve got to do something about it. And the only way to do something is take action. And action means actually doing something, not just talking Benjamin: about it. Basically as a result of you buying this acreage, some people were without jobs, about a thousand people who were involved in the timber industry and you have been accused of green colonialism. Eliasch: How do you respond to those charges? Well, let me answer that in two parts because that is a core issue in all this. First of all, yes it is true that I laid off one thousand people in a saw mill when I stopped the logging activity, which was obviously essential to my objective. But what I also did and that is the most important thing here was to explore a model whereby I let the local indigenous population go and harvest my lands free of charge and

Unit 7 Environment HEAD group, started a foundation called Cool Earth. He has bought a piece of the Amazon Rainforest the size of London. I spoke to him at his base in London and asked him what he hoped to accomplish. Eliasch: Rain Forest or rather deforestation accounts for over 20% of global carbon emissions and it’s probably the easiest thing to have an immediate impact on because all other measures that we take against climate change takes years to actually get results. If it is new technologies, if it is reduce consumption, it does not happen overnight. So what I am trying to achieve with this is at least protect a small piece of the rain forest from being deforested and with that hopefully inspire other people to do exactly the same that I have done. Benjamin: Now, of course, you made your mark in the business world by dealing with companies that needed to be restructured and dealing with distressed debt. Your approach to Global Ecology is to treat ecology like a distressed debt.

Following is the script of the video clip: Kapur=Mallika Kapur; Benjamin=Tod Benjamin; Eliasch=Johan Eliasch Kapur: In the boardroom this week, we’ll meet a multimillionaire who is using his knowledge of economics and applying it to the environment. Johan Eliasch is the Swedish born tycoon who revived HEAD, the sports equipment company. His latest turn-around project is a completely different proposition — the Brazilian rain forest. Tod Benjamin caught up with him in London to find out about his role as a green activist. Benjamin: Searing summer temperatures, melting polarized caps and extreme weather have all been attributed to climate change. Many say this climate crisis is a result of global warming caused by increased carbon emissions. Former Vice President Al Gore has produced a film on climate change. Concerts are raising awareness of it too. But what is the business world doing about it? Johan Eliasch, Chairman of the

We're here now at the Australian War Memorial at the start of the dawn service. They shall grow not oldAs we that are left grow oldAge shall not weary them nor the years condemnAt the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.Lest we forget.A verse from the poem. Ode to Remembrance by Laurence Binyon; is recited during the ceremony.Inside the Hall of Memory is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. This is the grave of a solider whose identity is not known and it represents all those soldiers who died in battle but were not identified.Twenty-four years after the ravages of World War I; war came to the mainland of Australia where air raids killed hundreds of service personnel and civilians. In Malaya; Korea and Vietnam; we answered the call as we have in Afghanistan and Iraq. Through it all the one unshakable truth has been a steadfastness; bom of the traditions of the Australian servicemen. Today; Australia's special day; they rememberin East Timor; on Bougainville; in Afghanistan and Iraq; on the island of Crete; at Gallipoli; they along with us; remember.Anzac Day is a public holiday in Australia. It is one of the most important national days of the year and certainly the most solemn one. Commemoration services are held in all the major cities in Australia and huge crowds attend to pay their respects to those who died. Servicemen and women from all the armed services in Australia march in procession. They fought in the Second World War and other conflicts since then that have happened around the world. The men in the trucks are all wearing decorations. They're veterans from the Second World War; and perhaps a few last survivors from the First World War. After the Parade the veterans will gather in a pub or club to talk and share memories. This veteran fought in the Second World War in Western Australia.Interviewer And what does Anzac Day mean to youVeteran Well; it means remembering not only those who didn't go home but the; the fact that you keep in touch with a lot of your ... friends.Unit 7-Listening inNews reportUS universities are experiencing a steady increase in the enrolment of student veterans with many troops returning home from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than one million student veterans are using their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to earn a university degree or certificate.The Post-9/11 GI Bill is an education benefit programme for individuals who served on active duty after 10 September; 2001. the scholarship covers study-related expenses including tuition; fees; books and housing. Veterans can use the GI Bill at colleges; universities; trade schools and flight schools.Student veterans returning from war are typically older than the average student. Some have difficulty adjusting to the stress and demands of university life. Some also experience frustration with other students who don’t understand their past experiences.It is important for universities to provide veterans with the resources and support they need to succeed; and to help with the transition to university life.1.What is the news report mainly about2.To whom does the Post-9/11 GI Bill provide supportPassage 1There are many war novels but the novel I'm going to talk about today is unusual because it's war seen through the eyes of a child. The "eyes" are those of JG Ballard; one of Britain's most respected novelists.Let's begin with some information about Ballard. He was born in 1930; in Shanghai; where his father was a businessman; and he was only 11 years old when the city was occupied during World War II. Ballard and his family were placed in a prison camp and he has said that his experiences there affected him so deeply that it was 40 yearsbefore he felt able to write about them. "Twenty years to forget and 20 years to remember."The result of Ballard's experiences was a semi-autobiographical novel called Empire of the Sun; published in 1984. It quickly became a success and in 1987 it was made into a movie by Hollywood director; Steven Spielberg.Let's move on to the novel itself. Empire of the Sun tells the story of how a young boy; Jim Graham; survives the Japanese occupation. Interestingly; Jim is J G Ballard's first name and his second name is Graham. Also; Jim is the same age as Ballard - 11 -when the occupation begins.At the start of the story; Jim is living with his parents in a wealthy part of Shanghai. When the invasion begins; many of Shanghai's inhabitants flee from the city and Jim's parents do the same. But the boy becomes separated from them and finds himself all alone. He goes back to their empty home and lives alone there. Inevitably; he's found and then he's sent to a prison camp.It's a terrible four years; but the boy somehow survives. He steals food; finds ways of getting in and out of the camp; and is befriended by some Americans and a Japanese boy.Is there a happy ending Yes and no. Jim sees many people die; his Japanese friend is killed by the Americans. Butat the end of the war; he gets back to Shanghai and is reunited with his parents.Jim's experiences are terrible; as a child who discovers the depths of human cruelty. But he learns also about the strength and courage that is possible; even in these circumstances.Both the great power and the truthof the novel come from the fact thatit's based on the author's own experiences. The general opinion ofcritics is that Empire of the Sun is one of the best war novels ever written - so read it; it's worth it.Passage 2Host On Women's World; today; we lookat women's role in the Second World War and the important part they played in it. In the First World War; women had workedin factories and as nurses; both at home and at the front. In the Second World War; women were even more essential to the war effort. Doris Watts was just 18 when the war began and Mavis Grey was only 20.Host Do you remember how you felt;Doris; the day thewar was declaredDoris Oh yes ... of course I do. I felt frightened of course;but we had known it would happen. The first thing; more thananything I think; that I felt was ...was that I wanted to dosomething You know; do something useful;so I joined theLand Girls.Host Ah; yes; the Women's Land Army.That was anorganization started in the First World War. Women worked inagriculture as the men were awayfighting. Did you enjoy the experienceDoris Not really. It was very hard work; very physical. You never saw anybody except the officer coming to inspect your work. So when I heard about the WAAF I signed up.Host That's the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. WAAF; forshort. So why the WAAFDoris I'd always thought planes were very exciting. Andit's silly but I liked the light blue uniforms.Host That's a good enough reason Now; Mavis; you were in the WAAF at the same time as Doris. Can you tell us more about itMavis Yes. Organizations like the WAAF were a way for women to join the armed forces; since they weren't allowed to fight. Instead; the army; the navy and the air force all had support services; which women could join.Host And Doris. What kind of things did you have to doDoris Oh; well; a lot of different things. I worked in transport and catering. We were very young but we were given a lot of responsibility.Host And what did you do; MavisMavis Various jobs but eventually I worked on a fighter station; trackingthe German bombers as they flew towards London. It was very exciting.Host Was it ever dangerousDoris Yes; we were always in danger of being bombed. They tell me that over1;500 young women lost their lives. I was lucky.Host And what about social lifeMavis We did have some wonderful parties. And of course I met my husband; Eric. He was an electrician at the station.Host One last question; Doris. Do you think women's work in the forces changed things for womenDoris Without a doubt. Oh absolutely After the war the position of women could never be the same again - we'd contributed so much.Host Doris and Mavis; thank you both.。

21世纪⼤学英语英语课⽂讲解Unit7（a）-Unit Seven T ext A I Became Her T argetWarm-up Questions2. What happened to the writer when he was 12 years old? Skim paragraph 1 to find out.3. How did he feel at that time? Skim paragraph 2 to find out.Presenting the text by summing up the discussion.The author recalled his favorite teacher, Dorothy Bean, with deep emotions. The story concerned how Miss. Bean helped the author, an black boy, built his confidence and did away with loneliness in schools. And the author was accepted by his white students. Miss. Bean’s justness and lov e changed a lonely child’s life who lacked confidence.Background Information1.Negroes, blacks and African AmericansEach of these terms refers to the minority group in the U.S. who traces their ancestry to sub-Saharan Africa. Over the years, these words have changed substantially, in their degree of acceptance and their use among the white majority and the black population itself. The term Negro, which is capitalized, became the preferred term in the early 20th century but has been out of date since 1960s. It was replaced by the term black which reflects a greater pride in African identity, as indicated by James Brown's song, “Say it Loud. I’m Black and I’m Proud.”In the 1970s the term Afro-American was used in many formal contexts, but it has now been replaced by African-American. In current usage, “black” is used in most spoken or informal contexts, and African- American in most formal or written context.2. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)Thomas Jefferson served as the third president of United States, was the author of the Declaration of Independence, and founded what came to be the Democratic Party. He played a major part in shaping government theory and practice, putting into words and law the ideals of a nation dedicated to the principle that all men are created equal. Beyond his achievements in politics, Jefferson is noted as a “renaissance man”for his accomplishments in architecture, science, and philosophy, among other fields. He designed his own home, Monticello, which is now a national park, and founded the University of Virginia .3. The New Y ork Y ankeesPlaying in the borough 纽约市五个⾏政区之⼀of the Bronx in New Y ork City, the Y ankees are the most famous and the most successful team in the history of major league baseball. They have won the World Series championship, which is played each October, more often than any other team.4. Racial prejudice/ segregation in the United StatesA system of racial segregation arose soon after the American Civil War in most former slave states. In 1948, President Truman ordered to put an end to segregation in the armed forces and segregation of the races in public schools was banned in 1954. However, most white schools remained totally segregated by the mid-1960s regardless of the government’s many efforts, school desegregation has still not seen accomplished in much of the U.S.5. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882—1945)The 32nd U.S. president (1933---1945), considered by many to be the greatest American president of the 20th century. He launched the economic and social reform program, “New Deal” to help the “forgotten man” during the Great Depression. He also led the country through most of World War II. He was reelected for a fourth term in 1944, but died in 1945.6. the Louisiana PurchaseThis term refers to a land deal made between U.S. president Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte of France in 1803. Jefferson authorized the purchase of land from the Mississippi River westward to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico northward to Canada for roughly $ 15million. Though it was a great Bargain, doubling the size of the U.S. at the time and adding richly productive farmlands, the Louisiana Purchase was controversial because it was unclear that the president had the authority to make such a purchase without the approval of Congress.7. grade schools in the United StatesGenerally, American schools consist of elementary schools (kindergarten to 5th 0r 6th grade), middle schools (grade6-8) or junior high schools(grades7-9), and high schools(grade 9-12 or 10-12). Many children go to kindergarten at age five, and every child begins first grade at age six. Students do not pay tuition in grades1-12.Text OrganizationIn this passage “I Became Her Target”, American Civil Rights leader Roger Wilkins talks about the difficulty of being the only black child in the classroom during the 1940s. He describes with gratitude a teacher who respected him enough to challenge him and hold him to high standards. And it can be divided into four parts :Part one: introduction (Para.1-2): This part introduces the teacher and the author's situation:a black newcomer in the neighborhood ignored by others and feeling lonely;Part two: beginning (Para.3-4): It's so lucky that a teacher, Dorothy Bean treated me differently. Part three: development (Para5-14): some stories between the author and the teacher show us how the teacher helped him in developing him and making him another kid in the school.Story 1 Para5-6 The teacher asked me a question and made me no more a dark presence in class. Story 2 Para. 7-11 The teacher trained to have a critical and creative thinking.Story 3 (climax ⾼潮) Para.12-14 While I was absent-minded in class, the teacher reminded me in his particular way, making me part of a story in class, so I was known to everybody.Part four: ending (para14 ) I was accepted by other people.Through the text, the author uses the technique of making statement or generalization and then supporting it with a specific example or explanation. By doing so, he makes his ideas more convincing and also easier to understand.Words & Expressions checkup1.Favorite: adj. & n. best liked, person or thing liked more than others 最喜欢的, 最受喜爱的⼈或物Who is your favorite teacher? 你最喜欢的⽼师是谁？He is a favorite of his mother’s.他是母亲最疼爱的孩⼦。
