Unit 8 SocietyPart AListening StrategyThe passage you are going to listen to contains 9 recommendations to keep you happy、Listen twice and write down the first sentence of each recommendation、Some have already been done for you、1、Don’t expect money to buy you happiness、2、Enjoy the moment、3、Learn to like yourself、4、Self-esteem grows out of achieving realistic goals、5、Take occasional days of rest、6、Put on a happy face —even if you don’t feel happy、7、Exercise、8、Get enough sleep to feel rested、9、Build close relationships、Script:Do you want to know the secret of happiness? Just listen to psychology professor David G、Myers、He analyzed hundreds of studies from around the world to determine how important friendships, money and other things are to our happiness、Here’s what he recommends、Don’t expect money to buy you happiness、The actual amount of money people earn has little effect on how happy they feel、What does count is how satisfied they are with their income、Enjoy the moment、Happiness comes from little things that happen every day, rather than occasional great pieces of good fortune、Learn to like yourself、“Studies show that people with healthy self-esteem are less weak to setbacks and struggle s,” said Dr、Myers, a uthor of “The Pursuit of Happiness”、Self-esteem grows out of achieving realistic goals、Take occasional days of rest、Spend hours enjoying quiet time alone、Put on a happy face —even if you don’t feel happy、Smiling can actually make you feel better, according to Dr、Myers of Hope College in Michigan、Exercise、Aerobic exercise, such as walking, biking, swimming and running works as an antidote for mind depression and anxiety、Get enough sleep to feel rested、Build close relationships、The best remedy for unhappiness is a caring nurturing friendship、And if you’re married, a good relationship with your spouse can be especially important、Part BLottery WinnersScript:Do you dream of winning the lottery? Millions of people do、Every day, millions of Americans buy lottery tickets、They are hoping to win $100,000, $1,000,000 or more、What happens after you win the lottery?When you win a million dollars, you don’t receive a check for the total amount、You may choose to receive $50,000 a year for twenty years、Also, you must pay taxes、After taxes, you receive from $25,000 to $40,000 a year for twenty years、This is a lot of extra spending money、What have some people done with their money? Let’s look at three past winners、Lisa K wanted to be an artist, but she didn’t have enough money to go to art school、She was working at a job she didn’t enjoy、In August, Lisa bought one ticket and won two million dollars、She quit her job three weeks later and is now attending art school、Mark L was a car salesman、He worked seven days a week and had little time for family life、After he won the lottery, he quit working、Now he spends his time bowling, working in the garden, and fixing things in his house、But, he’s bored、He doesn’t want to sell cars again, but he isn’t sure what he wants to do with his life、Jack B is one of the small number of winners who did not quit his job、Jack still teaches at a school near his home、But now he and his wife take their children on an interesting vacation every year、And they don’t worry about sending their children to college、They say that money brings security and gives a person opportunities, but it doesn’t bring happiness、Exercise 1Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions、1、If you win a million dollars, how much can you get before tax?a、$ 100,000 immediately、b、$ 50,000 a year for twenty years、c、$ 20,000 a year for fifty years、d、$100,000 a year for ten years、2、If you win a million dollars, how much can you get after tax annually?a、$10,000 to $25,000、b、$15,000 to $30,000、c、$20,000 to $35,000、d、$25,000 to $40,000、3、What did Lisa K do after she won the lottery?a、She quit her job and opened an art school、b、She began to spend her time traveling around the world、c、She stayed on her job, but took an interesting vacation every year、d、She quit her job and began to study art、4、What did Mark L do after he won the lottery?a、He quit his job and began to work for himself、b、He began to spend his time bowling, working in the garden, and fixing things in his house、c、He didn’t quit his job, but went sightseeing every year、d、None of the above、5、What did Jack B do after he won the lottery?a、He quit his job and led a leisurely life at home、b、He began to spend his time exercising, gardening, and traveling、c、He stayed on his job, but took his family on an interesting vacation every year、d、None of the above、6、What is the main idea of the passage?a、To win the prize is the dream of every lottery ticket buyer、b、Most winners quit their jobs after winning the lottery to lead a carefree life、c、The winner of the lottery cannot receive the total amount of the prize money、d、Winning the lottery means security and opportunities but not necessarily happiness、Exercise 2Listen again and fill in the blanks to complete a summary of the main points of the passage、Every day, millions of Americans buy lottery tickets and dream of winning the lottery、If you win one million dollars, you can receive from $25,000 to $40,000 a year for twenty years after paying taxes、Winners spend the large amount of money in different ways、Some use the money to pursue their own interests, some on home improvement and travel, and others save the money for their children’s college education、Most winners quit their jobs and only a small number of them still stay on their jobs、Some winners realize that money brings security and gives them opportunities, but money does not mean happiness、Part CTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the story and choose the right answers to the questions、1、When and where was a newborn baby

police said that the baby was healthy and weighed 7 pounds、Now they were searching for themother、A policeman said that they had never had anything like this before、They really didn’t get babies left in the park、But they were just happy the baby was all right、The police rushed the baby to a nearby hospital、Fortunately she was OK、The police believed the baby was born less than half an hour before she was discovered、They also believed, judging from the amount of blood found on the rock, that the mother might have given birth there、It was 70 degrees when the baby was found、Detectives were investigating whether the mother was a homeless woman who called a baby rescue hotline early yesterday、The head of Hope Foundation said that his hotline received a call about 5:30 a、m、from a young homeless woman in Manhattan、The caller asked, “How do I get rid of my baby?” She was apparently in labor、Then she was told to go to either a hospital or a fire station、But the woman was afraid she

2018版高考英语大一轮复习课时作业：选修八 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors 含答案
课时作业(四十)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2017·广西贵阳一中月考]Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？ I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO! It's okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.I don't intend to make you say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I'm talking about refusing that meeting which you really do not want to attend or that birthday party which you don't want to be a guest at.Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don't want to do.If you're like I once was，you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you're saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn't going to like you or your coworkers won't respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them that they ask every occasion.If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you're someone who always says “yes”，then that's what they're expecting.You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.1．Which statement do you think the writer would agree with?A．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.B．Always saying “no” means you are brave.C．We should help others in need.D．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.2．The underlin ed word “It” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.A．something you're unwilling to doB．saying “yes”C．something you think difficult to doD．a friend's birthday party3．Through the passage，if you say “no” to your family members，you'll ________.A．have a loose relationship with themB．have the same relationship with them as beforeC．upset themD．disappoint them答案：[解题导语]作者主张对于那些自己极不愿意参加的活动，要大胆拒绝，不要为难自己。
新视野大学英语读写译(第三版)第二册Unit8课后习题答案
He became a children's doctor because of his love for children and his strong desire to keep them healthy.He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for his career advancement and his experiments have nothing to do with medicine.The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them, while the senators and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animal rights activists.The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic, criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rights activists.Life is cruel to both animals and human beings. If physicians don't create an animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings; or the medical knowledge will remain static.Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostic techniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes will remain mysteries.If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threatening further research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost the lives of many human beings.It helps diagnose disease.• It develops drugs to cure infection and disease.• It carries out complex surgical procedures.• It empl oys techniques to replace defective genes.• It stimulates development of synthetic organs.Participate in different animal rights activities.• Make public speeches at different social settings.• Write newspaper articles to condemn the inhuman animal research.• Launch an appeal on the Internet to arouse public concern for animal rights.It is too cruel and inhuman.• Animals should have equal rights as humans.• The research result may not apply to humansYes, because they are ethical and justified and the public will support the movement.• No, because they are misdirected and they even do something improper such as burning an animal laboratory.Yes, if animal research is abandoned, there will be almost no advances in medicine and it will cost many lives of human beings. As compared to animals, human beings are more valuable because they take many social responsibilities.1.The main task for the troop there is not fighting but (arresting) theprogress of the enemy army and waiting for reinforcements (援兵).2. He always anxiously summarizes the concessions which he has made buthe almost always (omits) to mention those offered by the other party.3.She was an excellent teacher, whose (optional) courses on women's writing were very popular among the students.4. It will be up to the doctor's judgment whether or not the organ can besuccessfully (transplanted) to the child who has been waiting for it.5. Teachers can no longer use their past experiences to prepare students fortheir future career; (hence) , our young people need to rely onthemselves.6. Accurate and inaccurate information is mixed so naturally that there are noreliable ways to tell what has been (twisted) and what has not.7.That wealthy lady's demand on a premarital agreement greatly (stung) her future husband's pride, and it ended up with his refusal to get married.8.When I opened the album, I carefully examined every photograph in(minute) detail by wearing my reading glasses so as not to miss anything.It seems that James has a talent for acting because he can (imitate)different teachers' speeches perfectly, which really amazes hisclassmates.10. Smoking is compared to self-poisoning and self-destroying, thus makingthe (evil) effects of smoking cigarettes truly alarming.interferencethrillerscarcespecificconsumption / consumerdeceptioninvasion / invaderprocession1. Multinational corporations protested strongly against any unreasonable(interference) by some countries in the free marketplace.2.At the time a real threat of a(n) (invasion) of the British Isles existed, so the British troops were gathered around the coastline to get ready to fight against an invading fleet.(Consumption) is relatively low, and it shows that the economicproblem in the country stems from the dangerous side effects of careless politics and widespread poverty.4.The wedding (procession) was of an enormous size and enormoussplendor, which was started homeward and followed by a large banquet ata luxury hotel.5. When doing writing exercises for that English course, students shouldremember that they are writing according to (specific) structures.6.Among close family and good friends, (deception) is the worst part of life, and we believe in practicing good faith and honesty.7.Jobs are (scarce) at the moment, so you should be realistic in yourchoices about the pay, working hours, medical benefits, bonuses, etc.8.The writer was thinking about writing some kind of (thrillers) because it would help him become popular through making his plot more attractive to the young.The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, (1)(hence) being called animal liberation. It advocates the idea that the most basic interests of non-human creatures should be (2)(afforded) the same consideration as those of human beings.Advocates (3)(lobby) for animal rights from different aspects, ranging from the focus on animal suffering in laboratories to the argument that (4) (insists) on not casting animals as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly (5)(consent) to the opinion that animals should be viewed as non-human members of the moral community and should be (6)(omitted) from being food, clothing, entertainment, orresearch subjects. The idea of (7)(awarding) rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral (8)(compass) and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or (9)(evil) about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been (10)(criticism) of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories..Some people have (persisted in) a traditional view that languagelearning is essentially the same as the learning of grammar or language rules.2. Regular review of the teaching material in school ensures that the coursesprovided (have relevance to) the workplace and what students will do in the future.3.

While most of these reasons sound plausible, there are some good reasons why you should keep a pet to have a positive life.First, pets can give you unconditional love and companionship. Pets make you always feel accepted and loved. They are always good listeners and respond to love, regardless of whether you are blind, deaf, ill or depressed. When coming home from a long, stressful day of school or work, you see a cute animal waiting for you in front of the door. You can't help but feel happy!In addition to companionship, pets can greatly increase your physical activity and improve your overall state of health. It is proven that a person who owns a pet is less likely to struggle with ailments and serious medical problems. Owning a pet can help people lower the blood pressure, fight loneliness, and conquer depression. Long walks with a dog also burn your calories! Undoubtedly, keeping pets makes you busier and leaves you more work to do. However, pets give you a sense of responsibility. If you do not care well enough for your pets, they will be ill or even die. Having a pet is a great way to learn the value of responsible ownership. You will discover that life is not just about you. Just like parenthood, owning a pet requires a lot of time and effort. After all, everyone should keep a pet because pets provide you with unconditional love, help you retain good health, and teach you to be responsible. Even though it sometimes means more work and unexpected trouble, it's worth our effort.世界自然基金会（WWF）是一个致力于有关保护、研究和修复环境议题的国际性非政府组织。

In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn‟t know how to spell, so what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while, he shortened that term to “OK”.The second explanation is based on the place where President Ban Buren was born, Kin derhook, New York. Ban Buren‟s friends organized a club to help him become President. T hey called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was c alled “OK”. [共5题](1) The author __C___.

Just give them a telephone call and ask for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchi ld. They will show up at your door, and greet you emotionally as if they hadn‟t seen you for years.Some 15 c ouples have so far hired “families”. “We have nearly 80 people on the waiti ng list.” Said the president of the company that offers such services, “What is common abo ut these senior citizens is that they are thirsty for human love. We are helping them make their dreams come true.”Where once big families with three or more generations living together were common, n ow numbers are reducing fast. In cities there are very few indeed. Many old people see th eir families only rarely, if at all. This may be b ecause the children‟s bosses have sent them to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members cannot find time to v isit their parents.“We‟ve seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in a happy state,” co mpany pre sident continues. “When a son finally visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for money or for them to let him have their property （财产）early.”Loneliness is not a one-way street. “One young mother came to us to ask about grand p arents,” he added.The company is now developing into other fields.

It may be a free period or a regular wait, say in the queue for a bus or meal --- e ven while eating breakfast. One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night. Whether he went to bed a t 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference.
