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 marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough, 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 2 Smart CarsText A:VocabularyI.1. 1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite 7) vibrated 8) magnetic9) bunched 10) in the air11) got/was stuck in 12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through7) fill out 8) fall into3. 1) …incorporates all the latest safety features.2) …two trees ten feet apart.3) …awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm.4) …the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) …are correlated in all racial groups.4. 1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency23) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.kilogram medical carememorandum electronic mailgymnasium communications satelliteliberation news broadcastdoctor sky hijackveterinarian European dollarpreparatory breakfast and lunchautomobile television broadcastinfluenza Oxford and CambridgeIII.1. swimming pool2. drawing board3. enriched Middle English4. disturbing change5. fully developed prototype6.

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 3 Job InterviewText A:VocabularyI.1. 1) rude 2) physically 3) structure 4) made a difference 5) blurted (out) 6) chuckling 7) measurable 8) prospective9) preparations 10) sparkled11) took a crack at 12) partner2.1) go after 2) look back at/on3) be put up 4) stood for5) build in 6) follow up7) be hooked up to 8) closed up3. 1) …grilled her about where she had been all night.2) …beyond Cinderella’s wildest dreams that she could one day dance in the King’s palace.3) …will be in readers’ hands soon.4) …do your homework before going on an interview.5) …was in the neighborhood of 150 dollars.4. 1) applicants, veteran, the prospective2) From his standpoint, has made every endeavor to go after3) as the saying goes, to have a crack at, barelyII.1.behave2.keep (used to avoid repetition)3.clean4.get along5.perform/complete6.perform/complete7.study 8.be enough9.be acceptableIII.1.

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.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and topossess 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 immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to bephysically emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die inthe process.11。

文中他告诉我们关于雇主看重什么样品质的秘密,并提出4点建议,帮助你在众人当中脱颖而出。
得到你想要的工作哈维·B.麦凯1 我经营着一家有350名左右员工的制造公司,我本人常常要对求职者进行面试,决定是否聘用。
我喜欢与可能成为销售人员的人交谈, 因为他们是我们与顾客联系的纽带。
2 不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办公室来谋求一份销售工作。
我问他为这次面试做过哪些准备。
他说他在什么地方看到过有关本公司的一些情况。
3 他有没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过电话,好更多了解本公司的情况?没打过。
他有没有给我们的供应厂商打过电话? 还有我们的客户? 都没有。
4 他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在本公司就职,以便向他们了解一些情况?他可曾请朋友向他提问,对他进行模拟面试? 可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪报?5 Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he’d be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the inter-view with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting , possibly even hand-delivered?6 The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.7 As I see it, there are four keys to getting hired:8 1.Prepare to win."If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference, "the saying goes among musicians. "If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference. If you miss three days of practice, the audience notices the difference."9 When we watch a world-class musician or a top athlete, we don't see the years of preparation that enabled him or her to become great. The Michael Jordans of the world have talent, yes, but they're also the first ones on and the last ones off the basketball court. The same preparation applies in every form of human endeavor. If you want the job, you have to prepare to win it. 5 他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己, 告诉我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备,自己何以能胜任此项工作? 面试之后他是否打算再写一封信表明自己加盟本公司的诚意? 这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上,也许是辛自送来?6 他对上述每一个问题的回答全都一样:没有。
这栏我就只剩一个问题要问了:如果此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人,他准备工作会做得怎样?答案不言自明。
7 在笔者看来,如欲被聘用,应注意四个要诀:8 1.准备去赢。
“一日不练,自己知道,”音乐家中有这样的说法。
“两日不练,音乐评论家知道。
三日不练观众知道。
”9 我们在观看世界级音乐家或顶尖运动员的表演时,看到的并不是使他们成为出类拔萃人物的长年苦练。
世界上诸如迈克尔·乔丹这样的顶尖人物无疑具有非凡才能,但他们在篮球场上也是第一个到,最后一个走。
同样的苦练适用于人类的各项活动。
若想被聘用,就要准备去赢。
10 When I graduated from college, the odds were good that I would have the same job for the rest of my life. And that's how it worked out. But getting hired is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers.11 That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you're prepared, the pressure is on the other folks-the ones who haven't done their homework.12 You won't get every job you go after. The best sales- People don't close every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.13 2. Never stop learning. RecentlyI played a double. tennis match paired with a 90-year-old.I wondered how things would work out; I shouldn't have. We hammered our opponents 6-1,6-1!14 As we were switching sides to play a third set, he said to me, “Do you mind if I play the backhand court? I always like to work on my weaknesses."What a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning.
