The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take agamble. By a stroke of luck, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit 2VocabularyI.1. 1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of5) hazards 6) satellite 7) vibrated 8) magnetic9) bunched 10) in the air 11) got/was stuckin 12) approximately2. 1) send out 2) stand up for 3) pass for 4) were closing inon5) starting up 6) went through 7) fill out 8) fall into3. 1) incorporates all the latest safety features2) two trees ten feet apart3) awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm4) the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to makethe cars5) are correlated in all racial groups4.1) the application… remote… has turned into a reality… are poisedto2) that vibrate… can detect… frequency3) lanes… are mounted in… alert a… hazardII.

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3Language Sense Enhancement1.

Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a differences in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 dollars a year in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success.Unit 4VocabularyI.1. 1) advantageous2) let alone3) witnessing…vanishing 4) landmark5) entitled 6) displace7) Establishment 8) patriotic…strengthen9) contradictions 10) aspires11) divorced 12) pendulums2.1) come to 2) dozed off3) believed in 4) was set apart5) take in6) sucks in7) clean up 8) turn away3. 1) makes no/little difference whether we go there by train or by bus2)overtaken General Motors as the world’s biggest car maker3)at odds with his wife over money matters4)been at the forefront of nanotechnology research5)let alone cook a meal4. a) is increasingly…to accelerate…their investmentb) economy…make an earnest…domestic…strike a balance betweenc) a handful of…be endorsed by…on a large scaleComprehensive ExercisesI.

Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues,let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI.1. 1) In a way 2) in accordance with 3) vacancy 4) in good condition5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current 2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about 5) driving at 6) put …away 7) turning …over 8) took …aback3. 1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often deceptive4.1) Oddly en ough …went broke …wrinkled … he had gone all to pieces2) definite … is capable of …her vanity3) too mild … sipping … strokeII.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6Vocabulary1. 1) appliances 2) comparative 3) multiply4) distribution5) prosperity 6) decorate7) famine8) large quantities of/ a large quantity of9) streamline10) fax11) pointed the way to 12) bewildered2. 1) eat into 2) cling to3) stand out/ stood out 4) wears away5) set about 6) switch off7) will be turned loose 8) poured in3. 1) is forecast to be below average next year, which at the moment is4 percent.2) to enter the building and find the baby girl proved futile as rescuers were driven out by the heat and flames.3) was urged to divert some of its attention from expanding production and get more involved with issues of market demand.4) can really eat heavily into your profits when you are selling suits at ￡900 and dresses at ￡2,000.5) has toiled endlessly over the exercise machine for the last twenty years in order to keep her body in shape.4. 1) reaction to… discontent… provoked2) C onvention… evading tax… the confines of3) a burden… are always on the go/ seem forever on the go… to copeII. Confusable Words1. 1) nervousness 2) tension 3) stress… stress 4) tension2. 1) honorary 2) Honorable 3) honorable4) honorary 5) honorable 6) HonoraryIII. Usage1) Dealing with the extinction crisis is no simple matter. Is it sensible, we may ask, to spend large sums of money to save some species – be it an elephant or an orchid – in a nation in which a large proportion of the population is living below the poverty line?2) This new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to be quickly screened --- at airports, train stations, bus terminals or border crossings. However, experts suspect, there is also the risk that people will learn to fool the machine the same way they try to fool polygraph readings by controlling their breath or taking drugs to relax themselves.3) With a high percentage of marriages ending in divorce, often due to financial difficulties, you would say that money is a big factor in making a good marriage. But, believe it or not, it isn’t money that ensures youa happy marriage; it is your philosophy of life that does.4) Not all the risks on the Internet are sexual, you know.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediatefamilies. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.Unit 7Vocabulary:I.1. 1) divined 2) nerves 3) solidarity 4) sacred… mourn 5) coated6) perish 7) hijack 8) grief9) farewell 10) take revenge on 11) revolves 12) denounced 2. 1) drop… off2) applied for 3) went off 4) are gaining on5) bring down 6) blotted out 7) think back on 8) picking at3. 1) brought down the American housing market in 20082) what will happen after his son steps into his shoes?3) not in the mood to go out4) long before the market began to show signs of weakness5) mourn the loss of the tranquil life we had in the countryside 4. 1) in the aftermath of… to blot our… the tragic2) armed… at dust… accomplices… explosives3) in the space of… no illusionII.

Translation1. 1) Some high-ranking officers of the armed forces started a coup, toppling the government and throwing the country into chaos.2) The falling market shattered the illusion about getting rich quickly.3) Thinking back on the history of World War II, we can see that the formation of theAllies was the natural product of the development of political and military circumstances then.4) Paul felt stung when Jim called him a religious fanatic. But as he was in no mood for a quarrel/not in a quarreling mood, he simply pretended not to hear it.5) People say that time heals all wounds. But for those who have lost their loved ones in the event, will time fill up the void in their hearts?2. Today, long after the earthquake shook/hit my tometown, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming. Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.Unit 8VocabularyI.1. 1) heap 2) was smeared 3) w armed 4) dissolve5) thrash 6) out of the w ay 7) hollows 8) tangled9) get his hands on 10) opaque11) at the edge of …illumined 12) hop2. 1) take…apart2) result from3) run out of 4) feed on5) come forward 6) woke up 7) focused on 8) set tled over3. 1) was dying to see the movie bases on it2) as a rule, the sheer distance mutes all sounds from the ground3) fuss too much over details4) slumped into anarmchair (feeling) completely exhausted5)was reputed to be the wittiest woman of her time4. 1) swarmed to…the spectacular…paddled2) in the heart of…out of the range of …trailing over … gliding in3) Day after day…strip…the heaving…slapII.

He said he had found it on the curb when he hopped off his school bus.2. Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.。

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.。

美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。

但对许多人，尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们，美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高，但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的，我不清楚。

不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右，人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺，”他回答说。

“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。

我走进屋子，心里有点不快。

没错，眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢？等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说。

“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天轻扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。

我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生，块下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说。

“等冬天到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢？自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

“我想当学徒，”他说。

What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates.In Search of Davos Man1Peter Gumbel1 William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the U.S., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow,1This text is adapted from the January 31, 2005 issue of Time.where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $1.6 billion in assets.2In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization."2 Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a U.S. citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says.3 Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth3. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief: that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technology across national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable. They see the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in which corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, produce and sell their goods and services.4 As borders and national identities become less important, some find that threatening and even dangerous. In an essay entitled "Dead Souls: The Denationalization of the American Elite," Harvard Professor Samuel Huntington describes Davos Man (a phrase that first got widespread attention in the 1990s) as an emerging global superspecies and a threat. The members of this class, he writes, are people who "have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing4, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite's global operations." Huntington argues that Davos Man's global-citizen self-image is starkly at odds with the values of most Americans, who remain deeply committed to their nation. This disconnect, he says, creates "a major cultural fault line5. In a variety of ways, the American establishment, governmental and private, has become increasingly divorced from the American people."2Browder now manages $1.6 billion in assets.: Right now there are $1.6 billion worth of assets under Browder’s management at his investment firm.3both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth: both believe it is themselves, not the place of their birth, that decides their identity4view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing: regard national boundaries as obstacles that are disappearing, which is a piece of good news for them5a major cultural fault line: an important line dividing a culture into two camps, which is likely to cause problems5 Naturally, many Davos Men don't accept Huntington's terms. Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, argues that endorsing a global outlook does not mean erasing national identity. "Globalization can never provide us with cultural identity, which needs to be local and national in nature."6 Global trade has been around for centuries; the corporations and countries that benefited from it were largely content to treat vast parts of the world as places to mine natural resources or sell finished products. Even as the globalization of capital accelerated in the 1980s, most foreign investment was between relatively wealthy countries, not from wealthy countries into poorer ones. U.S. technology, companies and money were often at the forefront of this movement.7 However the past two decades have witnessed the rise of other significant players. The developed world is beating a path to China's and India's door — and Chinese and Indian companies, in turn, have started to look overseas for some of their future growth. Beijing has even started what it calls a "Going Out" policy that encourages Chinese firms to buy assets overseas. Asian nations are creating "a remarkable environment of innovation," says John Chambers, chief executive of Cisco Systems. "China and India are graduating currently more than five times the number of engineers that we are here in the U.S." That means that U.S. and European companies are now facing high-quality, low-cost competition from overseas. No wonder so many Western workers worry about losing their jobs. "If the issue is the size of the total pie, globalization has proved a good thing6," says Orit Gadiesh, chairman of consultants Bain & Co. "If the issue is how the pie is divided, if you're in the Western world you could question that.7"8 The biggest shift may just be starting. A landmark 2003 study by Goldman Sachs predicted that four economies — Russia, Brazil, India and China — will become a much larger force in the world economy than widely expected, based on projections of demographic and economic growth, with China potentially overtaking Germany this decade. By 2050, Goldman Sachs suggested, these four newcomers will likely have displaced all but the U.S. and Japan from the top six economies in the world.9 It's also entirely possible that the near future may see the pendulum of capital swing away from Davos Man-style globalization. One counterpoint is Manila Woman — low-paid migrant workers from Asia and elsewhere who are increasingly providing key services around the world. Valerie Gooding, the chief executive of British health care company BUPA, says the British and U.S. health care system would break down without immigrant nurses from the Philippines, India, Nigeria and elsewhere. Unlike Davos Man, she says, they're not ambivalent about being strongly patriotic.10 Not all Davos Men seek global markets, either. Patrick Sayer runs a private equity firm in France called Eurazeo, and complains there are still too many barriers to cross-border business in Europe, let alone the world. So he's focused Eurazeo on its domestic market. "I profit from being French in France. It's easier for me to do deals," Sayer says. "It's the same elsewhere. If you're not Italian in Italy, you won't succeed."6If the issue is the size of the total pie, globalization has proved a good thing: Globalization is good in that it helps make the pie bigger.7If the issue is how the pie is divided, if you're in the Western world you could question that.: When it comes to the question of how the pie is divided, Westerners could worry that non-Westerners might begin to take away a bigger share of the pie.11 That may sound like a narrow nationalism, yet it contains a hidden wisdom. Recall that Italy itself was, until 1861, not a unified nation but an aggregation of city-states. Despite tension between its north and south, there's no contradiction between maintaining a regional identity and a national one. Marco Tronchetti Provera, chairman of Telecom Italia, for example, can feel both Milanese and Italian at once, even as he runs a company that is aspiring to become a bigger international presence. The question is whether it will take another 140 years for Davos Man to figure out how to strike the same balance on a global scale.1.
