After four-year English learning, most graduates can’t properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let alone write in English. Where do the problems lie?To some extent, I think, it is reasonable for those people to say so. To begin with, English teaching at college is, in a large degree, teacher-centered.It is still not uncommon in the classroom that the teacher explains every language point in detail, while students take notes at times. Secondly, culture is neglected in English teaching because of poor text design. With a great deal of grammar and structure exercises in the textbook, students are misled into memorizing a large vocabulary and a lot of English rules. Few students know how, when and where to use them properly. Finally, test-oriented education, in a sense, misleads and impedes college English teaching in China. For instance, college English Test Band Four / Sixis so overemphasized in some colleges that teachers strive to meet the needs of the test, sacrificing learning for the sake of test results, and students only learn how to pass the examination.In conclusion, Chinese college English teaching is to be reformed. English teaching should be student-centered, culture should be introduced in language teaching, and textbooksshould be well designed to arouse students’ interest in learning to communicate in English.Unit5Part three Home ReadingI. 1 N 2.

WritingMy View on Fake CommoditiesFake commodities can be found, now and then, in the market, which has aroused a lot of public attention. It is reported that these commodities range from foodstuff, clothes to radios, and TV sets and even medicines.Fake commodities are harmful in many ways. To begin with, they bring about great loss in both properties and lives. For instance, if someone buys some fake medicines, it may not cure him of his illness, on the contrary, it may probably make his illness worse or even put an end to his life. Besides, fake commodities may impair the profit of the manufacturers who produce the real products by making the consumers suspicious of these products, thus causing social problems.There are many ways to get rid of fake commodities. First, laws should be enforced to punish those who produce these products. Second, people should be advised how to tell the genuine commodities from the fake ones. Moreover, peopleshould not buy things just because they are cheap and attractively advertised. Furthermore, they should be encouraged to report to the relevant authorities in case they have bought a fake commodity. In a word, if the whole society work together to solve this problem, I think fake commodities will have nowhere to exist.。

These disapproving voices could hardly be heard-------they were covered up by a chorus of gentle and loving reports from the press crops, who were charmed by CO’s cuteness.2.So far in the clone debate the emotional aspect has been largely overlooked, yetthe arrival of CC brings it into force.3.With the arrival of CC last week, the cloning debate, which began in 1997 whenDolly was cloned, became heated and important again.4.The Texas lab’s success rate is as low as 1 out of 87, but it is not surprising oruncommon in cloning work. Generally, one successful clone means dozens of dead embryos in the lab.5.It is hard to say how much of an animal’s personality is genetically written andhow much is decided by environment, so temperament of a clone pet is also a matter of chance.6.They regarded CC as a test of how much people can tolerate human cloningethically, and they worry because this trial experiment has been received so well.

Techniques for Efficient Reading
Lesson 4 Skimming: Reading for Main Ideas
One of the keys to successful or efficient reading at an advanced level is the ability to judge the writer’s position in relation to the information he is presenting. This involves distinguishing important points from supporting details. Taking this into account, readers should learn to use two independent yet frequently interdependent strategies: skimming and scanning. Skimming means to look very quickly at the passage for the general idea of the content of a reading passage rather than reading for details.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to manypeople,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself of。

This is different from full-time salaried workers who get benefits and are generalists in their fields.各公司比以往任何时候雇用更多的自由职业者,因为这样它们既可以省钱又能获得解决具体商业问题的合适专业技术。
这些自由职业者与全职拿薪水的工作人员不同,后者享有各种福利,在各自领域是通才。
3 The soc ial contract that employers have with workers is evolving to one where “it’s less about loyalty and more important to focus on projects.”雇主和工作人员之间的社会契约逐步发展为“较少关注忠诚度而更多关注项目”。

5 You want as many people to know about you as possible because they will be theword-of-mouth engine that builds your business.你要让更多的人知道你,因为这些人的口口相传将成就你的事业。
III. SummaryComplete the following statements with words and expressions from the box. Use their proper forms.1 Free agents are also referred to as contract workers, consultants and freelancers. They don’t re ceive health care benefits, unemployment insurance or collective-bargaining rights. Instead, they work with multiple clients on a variety of projects based on their unique set of abilities.2 From 1997 to 2011 the number of free agents grew from approximately 25 million to 44 million in the U.S., as people desired more freedom, flexibility and ways to get paid for their professional skills. It is projected that there could be as many as 70 million free agents by 2020, creating a workplace environment with more free agents than full-time employees.3 By hiring more free agents companies can save money and acquire niche expertise to solve specific business problems. Another benefit of hiring freelancers is that during slow periods, companies don’t h ave to hold onto them. Therefore, companies are now moving toward a “hire at will” recruiting strategy and away from a “hire for life” one.4 It is likely that some day you’ll find yourself out of your full-time salaried job in the current economy. So if you are a free agent or aspire to be one, there are several things you need to keep in mind.5 It is important to bond together with other like-minded free agents and share resources with them. When you refer jobs to other free agents, they might reciprocate in the future.6 Make good use of websites where you can bid on new projects, blogs with their own job boards and aggregation sites that compile opportunities for you.7 What is equally important is whenever you’re not working on a client project, you should be getting your name out there. For example, you can create a website that shows case studies, your bio, a client list and samples of your work.8 One third of all freelancers are looking for full-time work. And some free agents may prefer a full-time salaried job with benefits. In that case, you need to make known your interest and make extra efforts to turn your projects into a full-time position.Part II Reading for PleasureExerciseAnswer the following questions.1 What was Collins’ job like when she worked for JP Morgan in Australia?She worked overtime, traveled constantly, and was under great stress.2 How do high-end consulting firms attract top college graduates to work long hours?By offering them a handsome salary plus glimpses of corporate luxury.3 Why do many people actually like to overwork themselves even though they complain a lot about it?Their long-hour job fills an almost religious need to be part of something bigger than yourself, and it also means that they don’t have to deal with the messiness of life.4 What is the reality thousands of white-collar sweatshop workers will have to face?Many of them will soon be laid off.5 What is the author’s attitude towards working over 65 hours a week?He does not approve of it.。
