Unit 7 Have a nice day!Warming upReference answersStep 11. She is upset.2. She is angry.3. She is happy.4. She feels she could do nothing about it.5. She is surprised.Step 2•When you don’t want to talk about some issues and want to hide your true feelings, your facial expression will be inconsistent with your emotions. For instance, you have failed an important examination, and you are not happy about it but you don’t want your parents to find out about your true feelings. You will try to show your forced light-heartedness in front of them, while in fact you are deeply sorry for not passing the examination.•When you are lying, your facial expression will be inconsistent with how you actually feel. Of course, people lie for different reasons. Some people lie to protect others while some others lie for their own benefits. For example, some people may have a serious illness and they don’t want their families to worry about it. So they will tell them that they are fine. At that time, their facial expressions will surely be inconsistent with how they feel. For another example, a small number of students spend a lot of school time playing computer games instead of studying. Sometimes they hand in assignments which are not finished by themselves. One of my roommates once used an English movie review he found from the Internet and handed it in as his own work. When our teacher asked him if it was his own work, he said “Yes.” But I could see his face twisted a little bit.Step 3Besides facial expressions, there are a lot of other kinds of body language that can reveal one’s true feelings. For example, eye contact. When someone is lying to you, he is unlikely to look into your eyes. Also, hand gesture. When someone is desperate to tell others what they are worried about, they will use a lot of hand gestures to show anxiety and help others to understand better. What’s more, when some people get angry, their hands will be clenched into fists. Even if they can still speak in a calm voice, one can see from their hands that they are experiencing strong emotions. What’s more, s ometimes your voice will reveal your feelings. For example, when you are talking to someone you love, you voice is usually soft and tender. But if you are speaking to someone you are angry with, your voice will turn cool and sharp.Listening and speakingNews reportScriptsThe New York Times just announced that it had been using machine learning and surveys to predict the different emotions felt by readers of various stories.The newspaper has been collecting this information for a year, and has created a list of 30 commonly experienced emotions – 18 of which are available for sale to advertisers, as reported this week.The New York Times is not the only one. Other media companies like ESPN and USA TODAY have also rolled out ad products that are said to be able to match ads to people in certain moods.USA TODAY NETWORK in 2016 started categorizing its content by topic and tone, and scoring it on the basis of the emotions it’s believed to most evoke. Last year, it started to sell advertising based on that knowledge with a product called Lens Targeting. An ad campaign for a non-profit that was targeted at people reading inspirational stories resulted in a 25 percent higher donation rate than ads that weren’t targeted, said Kelly Andresen, SVP and head of GET Creative, USA TODAY NETWORK’s conte nt studio.Questions:1. How does The New York Times predict readers’ emotions?2. How many emotions does The New York Times list?3. What have ESPN and USA TODAY said about their ad products?4. What do we learn about the ad campaign for a non-profit with specific target readers?Reference answersListening and understanding1. A2. C3. D4. BThinking and speakingPros and cons of targeted adsI think it is advisable for newspapers to target their ads toward a certain group of readers. New products are coming out every day, and it is impossible for people to know everything in a timely manner. If readers find something they need from the newspaper advertisements, they can purchase them for their own sake. It is a win-win situation. Sometimes there are certain scenes in advertisements that will make readers recall certain memorable experiences in the past, such as a candy bar, a nice bowl of soup, or a trip to the seaside. If readers’ hearts are somehow touched, it is very likely for them to purchase what is advertised.The downside of the targeted ads is that people may sometimes regret what they have bought. They may act on impulse to purchase certain goods because the ads touch certain part deepdown in their hearts. Once the readers realize that the newspaper ads are taking advantage of them, they may have a negative attitude toward the newspaper or the advertisements. Perhaps they would even stop reading the newspaper altogether.Using news reports to evoke certain emotions, yes or no?Sample 1I think it is advisable for newspapers to publish stories that are likely to evoke readers’ feelings and spread the virtue of honesty, kindness, beauty, etc. For instance, if there is a news report about a natural disaster that happened in one area, readers’ sympathy will be aroused and they will be concerned about the safety of the people in that area. They would like to know whether people there have enough food, shelter, or medical care. Many of the readers would even donate food or money for the relief effort. This, in turn, will be reported in the newspaper and other people will read about their stories and see the kindness and passion of human beings.Sample 2I don’t think news reports should evoke certain emotions among readers. As is known to all, news reports should follow the principle of reporting the truth, and the truth only. They should be the true, objective and unbiased reports of what have happened or what are happening. Readers can form their own judgments after reading the reports. Their opinions should not be influenced by the reports. If news reports try to evoke certain emotions of readers’, they are in fact biased and meant to influence the readers’ judgment.ConversationScriptsM: What have you read recently?W:I have just finished reading a book about anxiety. Did you know that some unpleasant emotions like anxiety are actually very helpful for humans to evolve?M: Really? How could that be？W: For example, if our ancestors encountered a lion, their fear sharpened their senses, quickened their thinking, and instantly prepared them to deal with the danger. Those who were able to do this better clearly had an advantage in survival.M: But anxiety is different from fear. Fear is a response to an immediate threat; anxiety is where there’s a possibility of a danger.W: That’s true. But the power of anxiety is equally important. Worrying about potential danger forces people to take fewer risks and seek safety. This could potentially help the basic evolutionary tasks.M: I see. But in today’s world, the possibilities are changing rapidly. If we cannot handle our anxiety properly, it may cause problems not only for individuals, but also for the whole society.W: Exactly! Like some people will panic buy due to the anxiety that there will be a forthcoming shortage or price rise, or something bad may happen.M: So how could we better handle our anxiety?W:According to the book I read, the most useful strategy is to shift your focus from thelong-term problem to a daily routine that will solve or prevent that problem. For example, instead of worrying about not passing the exam, focus on how much time you spend studying today.Questions:1. According to the woman, why are some unpleasant emotions important for humans?2. What is the difference between fear and anxiety, according to the man?3. How is the world today different from the world our ancestors lived in, according to the man?4. What does the woman say is the best way to handle anxiety?Reference answersListening and understanding11. C2. D3. B4. D21. T2. F3. T4. F5. TThinking and speakingProblems caused by anxietyEating too much is another problem caused by anxiety. In fact, quite a lot of people have this problem. When they are under a lot of pressure, they eat without control. They will gain weight rapidly, leading to a series of diseases like diabetes, heart attack and high blood pressure.Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep, is also a problem caused by anxiety. People have trouble falling asleep when they are too worried about something. Then they can’t concentrate on their work or study during the daytime. Some of them may lose weight or even hair.Now many people are excessively worried about their appearance. They are constantly looking up to some celebrities and comparing themselves with their idols. Since they think that they are not as pretty or not as slim as their idols, they become anxious. They may resort to some extreme methods such as plastic surgery or unhealthy diet. This also leads to an unhealthy social trend that will make people so concerned with their appearance that they lose themselves. They become less and less confident in themselves and get disoriented. They will stay in a vicious cycle in pursuit of perfection of their appearance.Dealing with your anxietyStep 1Scores between 18 and 24 suggest a mild to moderate stage of anxiety.Scores between 25 and 30 are indicative of a moderate to severe stage of anxiety.Scores above 30 indicate a very severe stage of anxiety.Step 2I sometimes suffer from anxieties, especially before the deadline of an assignment or before examinations. I do not feel like eating and I am too tired to sleep. Luckily I have some good friends who would work together with me for assignments or exams. This lessens my anxiety greatly. We try to break down the overall goal into smaller steps and we try to finish one step at a time. We will feel great for each step we finish and before we know it, we have achieved the whole target. By doing this I can always finish those assignments ahead of time and get good grades for the exams.Passage 1ScriptsPsychology once assumed that most human emotions fall within the universal six categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. But a new study suggests that there are at least 27 different emotions and they are closely connected with each other.Psychologists at UC Berkeley showed 2,185 video clips to 800 men and women. These clips included births and babies, proposals and weddings, death and suffering, natural disasters, spiders and snakes, awkward handshakes, etc.Using new statistical models to analyze the responses, psychologists created a multidimensional, interactive map to show how feelings like envy, joy, pride, and sadness relate to each other. They found that 27 different dimensions, not six, were necessary to account for the way hundreds of people reported feeling in response to each video clip.Moreover, in contrast to the common belief that each emotional state is an island, the study found that there is a smooth transition between emotions like horror and sadness, and amusement and adoration. Emotional experiences are so much richer and more subtle than previously thought.Psychologists hope their findings will help other scientists and engineers more precisely get the emotional states behind moods, brain activity, and expressive signals. All these could then lead to improved psychiatric treatments, a better understanding of the brain basis of emotion, and technology more responsive to emotional needs.Questions:1.How many kinds of emotions were once thought to exist?2.Which of the following is a new finding about emotions?3.How many subjects were shown the video clips?4.What have psychologists learned about emotions?Reference answersListening and understanding11.

In this modern society, no one can work alone by themselves, which makes teamwork critical. As a result, workmates need to understand each other better.•Self-management is vital for a college student. Back in high school, my teachers always arranged our schedule. What I needed to do was just sticking to the schedule made by the teachers. Now at college, I need to manage life and study all by myself. Since there’s no one to arrange my schedule anymore, good self-management will help me live a rich and colorful life without neglecting my studies.Passage 2ScriptsLife is an emotional experience. The emotions you experience every day ultimately determine the quality of your life. However, one key problem with most people is that they’re not able to understand what they feel. We usually understand messages behind our pleasant emotions better, but we’re not well aware of the messages behind our unpleasant emotions. Actually even negative emotions contain positive messages or instructions that can help us grow into better human beings.Let’s look at “hurt” for example. None of us escapes feeling hurt, and we may communicate this feeling through various more noticeable emotions like sadness or anger. What is the message behind this? Usually these painful feelings arise because you think you are badly treated or ignored by people you care about. They’re insensitive to your needs, and don’t meet yourexpectations.The solution is better communication. Usually people don’t mean to hurt you; they’re just ignorant about the impact of their words and deeds. So tell them your feelings in an open and honest way. Also, communicate your values to others, especially your dear ones. Let them know what’s important to you and what your expectations of others are, so that they can understand your needs better.Once we are familiar with the hidden messages in emotions, our emotions can become our ally, even the unpleasant ones.Reference answersListening and understanding11, 3, 521)treated 2) insensitive 3) expectations4) honest 5) Communicate 6) importantThinking and speakingDealing with hurtStep 1Last Saturday, my roommate Tom took me to a gathering. However, when we got there, I found everyone was interested in computer games and all of them were talking enthusiastically about games. I don’t play games so when they asked me to join them, I said “no.” Then they simply ignored me and never talked to me again. I was hurt and rushed out of the door right away.Step 2Yes, I would. If I were given another chance, I would take this as an opportunity to learn about games. I would take the initiative to speak to his friends and listen carefully to what they were talking about. I would try to understand their love for games first and then I might try to introduce more topics in our communication and raise their awareness that I wanted to talk about something else, too.Don’t make our friends an emotional garbage canThe best way to avoid making our friends an emotional garbage can is to learn to be responsible for our own feelings and emotions. When we are experiencing negative feelings and emotions, take a moment to think about the causes of these feelings and emotions.Find the people who make you experience an undesirable feeling or emotion and talk with them. When you are talking with them, avoid strong language and try to stay calm. You might end up with a happy day. If it is schoolwork that causes you to feel stressed, try to break it down into several tasks and tackle one task at a time. When you really need a friend’s help, don’t talk about your problem all the time. Listen to your friend’s constructiveadvice and use it to overcome your problem. Next time you have the same problem, think about how you overcame it last time and perhaps you can cope with it easily. I think one way to avoid making our friends an emotional garbage can is being attentive to their emotions as well. After we talk about our own problems, ask them whether they have any negative feelings. Listen to them carefully and offer suggestions when necessary.I have a good idea. After we talk about unpleasant things, we can do some pleasant thingstogether. For example, we can watch a good movie, go to an amusement park, or visit a zoo.We can also have a nice meal, shop for some clothes or have a haircut. These things can always cheer us up and drive the negative feelings away.Viewing and speakingScriptsParticipant 1: What is going on?

That is how it is defined in the dictionary of my MacBook. You probably heard the termart therapy thrown around before, but today we’re honing in on a new type ofart therapy, designed exclusively to focus on positive emotions, personal control,and a sense of meaning. Can flexing your artistic muscles really make you happier?Let’s find out!Once again we brought in a selection of subjects. Now first we gave them a testto measure their current level of happiness. Next we asked them to write out alist of things in their life that made them feel happy or supported. Then we hadthem assign a color to themselves and each of the things on their list. It felt likethe right time to rope them into doing something creative, so we traced a life-sizeoutline of their body, and told them to fill it in with the different colorsdepending on where (it) resonated for them. We told them to put a circle in thecenter that represented th emselves. Now they hadn’t realized it, but we putthem in a reflective state of mind and in order to complete the exercise, they hadto really focus on how each person or thing contributed to their life.Pamela: So, what was that like for you?Participant 3: Oh I loved it! I love art and I love to paint. I used to paint when I was a little girl with my grandma.Pamela:I noticed the first thing you put in there was the purple to represent … Is that mom?Participant 4: My mom, yeah, she’s like on the should er kind of area I guess? My mom actually, I remember when she used to rub my shoulders whenever I would be sick as a kid.Pamela: Out of all of these things, what are you most passionate about?Participant 5:Um … well of course my family. I have seven children and they’re spread all over.There’re three in California. And I rarely get to see them. So I have to say that myfamily is my passion.Participant 6: So when you look at me, you just see, wow, that man is very emotional and very passion (passionate) about a plethora of different things.Participant 2: I see a clear paint representation of my personality.Participant 1: The one right in the middle, um … is my mom.

So … my mom, yeah.Julian: So, what do (did) we find out? Well, we saw an average increase in happiness: 8.1 percent, with the highest jump being 36.7 percent. What does this mean? Well,Picasso once said, “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life” and Iam starting to think that dude was onto something. When you engage yourselfartistically and use your imagination, you can help regulate your blood pressureand your heart rate. Now I know what you’re thinking: I’m not an artist. Well don’tworry, you don’t need to know a thing about art to do this.

During my first year at college, myformer boyfriend broke up with me. I was crying my heart out. Then a close friend of mine took me to a dancing party. Everyone was dancing happily there. At first I did not have much enthusiasm for dancing, but as I tried, I gradually forgot what was bothering me. It wasgreat.•I had worked very hard before the college entrance examination because I wanted to go to Tsinghua or Peking University. However, when I got the grades, I found I could only go to a local college. I was very sad. I did not want to eat or sleep. To help me recover, my parents advised me to do something for distraction. Then I started to draw and bit by bit, my sadness seemed to fade. It dawned on me that not being able to go to a top university was not so devastating.Step 2•There are a lot of ways in which people can find happiness. One way is to travel. Travel enables us to see new places of interest, meet new people, and try new food. When we are busy trying out new things, we are likely to forget our own unhappiness. This is especially true if we go to the seaside or high mountains, where we feel tiny and all our unhappiness seems to be absorbed by the vastness of nature.•Reading is one way that can make people find happiness. Books are the collection of human wisdom and they can answer any questions we might have. There is always a book for us.Whenever I am unhappy, I will pick up a book by my favorite writer and start to read. Books can successfully distract one from their negative feelings and take them into a whole new world.Pronunciation1. Art, / the expression or application / of human creative skill and imagination.2.

But now, there are so many excellent students, and I’m afraid that I will become a nobody.B: I get it. So it is important for you to be the best student and high scores are everything.A: Of course. How can I prove myself otherwise?B: It is certainly a good thing that you want to be the best student. But how do you define “a good student”? Just high scores?A: Well, a good student should have self-discipline, an inquisitive and truth-seeking mind, and a never-stop-learning attitude.B: So, in other words, scores alone cannot determine anything, as long as you have the qualities you just mentioned. Perhaps you can tell me what can help you ease the stress first? Have you seen what good students are doing?A: Hm … when they are not sleeping, they are studying, either in classrooms or in the library.B: Very good, concentrate on your study. So my advice is: Pick up your books and fully review what you have learned this semester. What’s more, take some physical exercises and talk to your friends or parents for a few minutes every day; and add more fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. All these will help cheer you up, and you will become a good student sooner or later.A: Thank you very much.Further listeningNews reportScriptsA note written by Albert Einstein which contains advice on happy living has sold for $1.56 million in an auction.The German-born physicist had won the Nobel and was in Japan on a lecture tour. When a messenger came to his hotel room in Tokyo, he didn’t have a tip available. So he gave the messenger two notes, saying if he was lucky, they could become more valuable in the future. One of the notes was written on the official paper of the hotel. This is what Einstein wrote on the paper: “A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness.”The note was expected to sell for between $5,000 and $8,000. Instead, a bidding war lasted about 25 minutes, and ended in a sale of $1.56 million.A second note written at the same time simply reads: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” It sold for $240,000.The winning bids for both notes were far higher than the pre-auction estimated prices, the auctioneers said.Questions:1. Why did Albert Einstein write two notes for the messenger?2. Where did Albert Einstein write one of the notes?3. What do we learn about the notes?Reference answers1. D2. B3. DConversationScriptsW: It seems to me people like listening to sad music when they are depressed.M: According to a study published a few years ago, people diagnosed with depression are notably more inclined than healthy controls to choose to listen to sad music.W: Why does that happen?M: Some people say that depressed people deliberately act in ways that are likely to maintain their low moods. However, a new study has presented evidence suggesting depressed people are not seeking to maintain their negative feelings, but rather that they find sad musiccalming and even uplifting.W: Sounds interesting.M: Right. The research involved 38 female undergrads diagnosed with depression and 38 non-depressed female undergrad controls. The participants listened to 30-second pieces of sad, happy, and neutral music, and stated which they would prefer to listen to again in the future. The depressed participants were more likely to choose the sad music clips.W: So the conclusion is the same as the previous research.M: Yeah, and the research team also asked their participants why they made the choices they did, and the majority of the participants with depression who favored sad music said that they did so because it was relaxing and calming.。

DisjunctA disjunct is a type of adverbial that expresses information that is not considered essential to the sentence it appears in, but which is considered to be the speaker’s or writer’s attitude towards, or descriptive statement of, the propositional content of the sentence.More generally, the term disjunct can be used to refer to any sentence element that is not fully integrated into the clausal structure of the sentence. Such elements usually appear peripherally (at the beginning or end of the sentence) and are set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma (in writing) and a pause (in speech).e.g. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it.Unfortunately, Kim has had to leave us.I Rewrite the following sentences using proper disjuncts.1.Unfortunately, we have run out of stock.2.Hopefully, the report will go out to shareholders no later than June 1.3.Oddly enough, he did not raise any objection to the plan.4.Rightly, you returned the money.5.Luckily, this had attracted the attention of TV network executives.6.Fortunately, all went well.7.Strangely enough, the burglar didn’t take the diamond away.IIDisjuncts that are used to convey the evaluation of or attitude towards what is said can be subdivided into two types: 1) those that express a judgment on what is being said as a whole and that normally apply the same judgment simultaneously to the subject of the clause, for example, rightly, correctly, justly, foolishly, wisely, cleverly, prudently, rightly and wrongly. 2) those whose judgment carries no implication to the subject of the clause, such as remarkably, amazingly, astonishingly, curiously, naturally, fortunately, happily, thankfully and sadly. Type 1 disjuncts correspond to the clauses It be…that…, It be…of…or to an infinitive clause.Type 2 disjuncts correspond to the clause It be…that…1. It was right that they protested against it. / It was right of them to have protested （或protest）against it. / They were right to have protested（或protest）against it.2. It was foolish that the boy didn’t say a single word. / It was foolish of the boy not to have said （或say） a single word. / The boy was foolish not to have said （或say）a single word.3. It was wise that John sent the man away. / It was wise of John to have sent （或send）the man away. / John was wise to have sent （或send）the man away.4. It was sad that the storm destroyed the entire tobacco crop.5. It was remarkable that Mrs. Jensen consulted her lawyer.6. It is regrettable that James refuses to speak.7. It is lucky that my assistant has arranged for the matter to be considered by an ad hoc working party.8. It is hoped that a proposal will be ready in time for our next meeting.III Relative wordsRelative words are used to refer to a noun mentioned before and of which we are adding more information. They are used to join two or more sentences in the way we call “relative sentences”.e.g. I know many boys who / that play rugby.The shirt which / that Carl bought has a stain on the pocket.This is the boy whose mother works for the BBC.Barnstaple has a very old covered market where I bought some lovely old plates.Sunday is the day when people usually don’t go to work.If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we usually put it at the end of the clause:e.g. The music which / that Julie listens to is good.Sometimes, the preposition can also be placed before the relative pronoun.e.g. My brother met a woman with whom I used to work.It was the stream in which the elephant and the mouse preferred to swim.Notice that we cannot use who or that after a preposition, for the relative pronoun now serves as the object of the preposition.Key:1.which / that, when, by which2.on which3.that4.for whom5.with whom6.to whom7.of which8.at whichIV.1.where, where2.what, which3.what4.why5.where6.When7.why8.which, which, whatKey:1.However2.Whatever3.whatever4.Wherever5.Whichever6.Whoever7.However8.whenever, wheneverI1.不管我们的标准是什么，这个标准现在提高了，结果使你对自己没能得到更高的分数而感到失望。

Unit 7 When Lightning Struck1.I was in the tiny bathroom in the back of the plane when I felt the slamming jolt, andthen the horrible swerve that threw me against the door. Oh, Lord, I thought, this is it!Somehow I managed to unbolt the door and scramble out. The flight attendants, already strapped in, waved wildly for me to sit down. As I lunged toward my seat, passengers looked up at me with the stricken expressions of creatures who know they are about to die.2.“I think we got hit by lightning,” the girl in the seat next to mine said. She was from asmall town in east Texas, and this was only her second time on an airplane. She had won a trip to England by competing in a high school geography bee and was supposed to make a connecting flight when we landed in Newark.3.In the next seat, at the window, sat a young businessman who had been confidentlyworking. Now he looked worried. And that really worries me —when confident-looking businessmen look worried. The laptop was put away. “Something’s not right,” he said.4.The pilot’s voice came over the speaker. I heard vaguely through my fear, “Enginenumber two ... emergency landing ... New Orleans.” When he was done, the voice of a flight attendant came on, reminding us of the emergency procedures she had reviewed before takeoff. Of course I never paid attention to this drill, always figuring that if we ever got to the point where we needed to use life jackets, I would have already died of terror.5.Now we began a roller-coaster ride through the thunderclouds. I was ready to faint, butwhen I saw the face of the girl next to me, I pulled myself together. I reached for her hand and reassured her that we were going to make it. ”What a story you’re going to tell when you get home!” I said. “After this, London’s going to seem like small potatoes.”6.I wondered where I was getting my strength. Then I saw that my other hand was tightlyheld by a ringed hand. Someone was comforting me — a glamorous young woman across the aisle, the female equivalent of the confident businessman. She must have seen how scared I was and reached over.7.“I tell you,” she confided, “the problems I brought up on this plane with me sure don’tseem real big right now.” I loved her Southern drawl, her indiscriminate use of per fume, and her soulful squeezes. I was sure that even if I survived the plane crash, I’d have a couple of broken fingers from all the TLC.“Are you okay?” she kept asking me.8.Among the many feelings going through my head during those excruciating 20 minuteswas pride — pride in how well everybody on board was behaving. No one panicked. No one screamed. As we jolted and screeched our way downward, I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere.9.I thought of something I had heard a friend say about the wonderful gift his dying fatherhad given the family: he had died peacefully, as if not to alarm any of them about an experience they would all have to go through someday.10.And then — yes! — we landed safely.Outside on the ground, attendants and officialswere waiting to transfer us to alternative flights. But we passengers clung together. We chatted about the lives we now felt blessed to be living, as difficult or rocky as they might be.The young businessman lamented that he had not a chance to buy his two little girls a present.An older woman offered him her box of expensive Lindt chocolates, still untouched, tied with a lovely bow. “I shouldn’t be eating them anyhow,” she said. My glamorous aisle matetook out her cell phone and passed it around to anyone who wanted to make a call to hear the reassuring voice of a loved one.11.There was someone I wanted to call. Back in Vermont, my husband, Bill, wasanticipating my arrival late that night. He had been complaining that he wasn’t ge tting to see very much of me because of my book tour. I had planned to surprise him by getting in a few hours early. Now I just wanted him to know I was okay and on my way.12.When my name was finally called to board my new flight, I felt almost tearful to beparting from the people whose lives had so intensely, if briefly, touched mine.13.Even now, back on terra firma, walking down a Vermont road, I sometimes hear anairplane and look up at that small, glinting piece of metal. I remember the passengers on that fateful, lucky flight and wish I could thank them for the many acts of kindness I witnessed and received. I am indebted to my fellow passengers and wish I could pay them back.14.But then, remembering my aisle mate’s hand clutching mine while I clutched the handof the high school student, I feel struck by lightning all over again: the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on.Paragraphs 1-4Words and Expressions1. lightning: n. a powerful flash of light in the sky caused by electricity passing from one cloud to another or to the earth, usu. followed by thundere.g. He runs as fast as lightning.Collocation:be struck by lightning: be hit by lightninge.g. The tower has been struck by lightning.Derivation:lightning: adj.2. jolt: n. a sudden rough shaking movemente.g. Residents felt the first jolt of the earthquake at about 8 a.m.Derivation:jolt: v.Comparison: jolt, jerkjerk: a sudden quick movementPractice:1) The train moved off with a ________ (jerk)2) I felt every _________ of the bus.
