Paraphrase (答案)

Lesson One1. Everybody, except me, is born with the ability to think.2. Y ou could hear the fresh air struggling with difficulty to find its way to his chest, because he was unaccustomed to this. (whichwas blocked in his chest and striving to get through it). He would stagger or be thrown off balance, and his face would go white because of the shock of the unexpected visit of fresh air. He would step away unsteadily to his desk and fell into the chair, unable to do anything for the rest of morning3. On this occasion, it seemed that it was not his thought but his natural instinct that ruled him, which he was unable to resist.4. T echnically speaking, it is about as incompetent as most businessmen's golf, as dishonest as most politicians' intentions, or as incoherent as most books that get written.”5. They usually represent the great majority in agreement. We had better respect them instead of distaining them, because the number of them is much larger than us and we are surrounded by them.6. It is probably human nature to enjoy agreement because it seems to bring peace, security, comfort, and harmony, which is the same nature that leads cows to graze in the same manner on the side of a hill. (or Man likes to be unanimous, it’s just the same as the cows, which like eating the grass …7. The second contradiction I have detected is to hear that our Prime Minister mentioned to offer great benefit to India and meanwhile put independence-fighters like Nehru and Gandhi into prison. The third contradiction is to hear that American politicians talk about peace but refuse to join the association of nations to maintain world peace. It’s true that this may bring a short instance of pleasure.8. I put my arm stealthily around her waist and said in low voice that if we were talking about the number of people who believe in certain kind of religion, I would bet on the Buddhists. She was frightened and fled away from me because of my delinquent behavior and our contradictory opinions on religion.9. What had happened to Ruth and me now happened again. I had still some very close friends supporting me as usual. But mygrade-one thinking frightened away many of my acquaintances, who took the girls similar to Ruth.(But my acquaintances, together with their girls, were frightened away by my grade-one thinking.) Lesson Three1.For most students, they begin their study of history with a textbook in which there are a great number of names, dates and statistics for them to remember.(or Most students often study history through remembering a large amount of names, dates and statistics in thick textbooks.)2. History used to be an ordinary matter of memorizing “facts”, but now it turns to be an act of making the right choice out of many interpretations. Truth in history becomes a matter of personal likesor dislikes.3. They can only feel that absolutely opposed (or completely different) arguments about an event cannot both be right. However, it’s beyond their knowledge to decide which one should be right.4. They will find out information about the “Zimmerman Note”, an order the German Foreign Secretary, Arthur Zimmerman, sent to his minister in Mexico, which instructed the minister to propose an alliance to the Mexican government, in case a war may break out. Mexico, with the German financial support, was to go to war against the U.S. and re-conquer her lost territories from New Mexico, Texas and Arizona, which the United States had taken from Mexico in the Mexican War.5. Can we wipe out all the differences? We can (eliminate all disagreement) if our knowledge could give us a perfect model that completely explained human behavior. Unfortunately no such model has ever existed.Lesson Lix1. They are only based on tradition, or on somebody’s strong statement, but are not supported even by the least amount of proof.2. But if they were exchanged when they were infants and brought up in different homes and under different influences, then the staunchest Roman Catholic would be the staunchest Presbyterian, and vice versa. This shows that our beliefs are largely influenced by our surroundings.3. We can conclude based on all our knowledge of psychology, that each would have grown up having exactly the opposite beliefs to what they have now.4. …we may still remember that in th e history of human development, there have been too many cases that the previous “obvious truths” were proved wrong when new knowledge and reason had been developed.5. It took many scientists of greatest learning hundreds of years to struggle against the assumption that the planets moved in circles. The success of getting rid of that assumption is one of the miracles in human history.6. Many modern people are hard to believe that for some time men had ever thought they were thinking with their hearts.7. We hold and cling to some beliefs merely because it is in our interest to believe them. (or it brings benefit or advantage to us to do so.)But people who hold some beliefs through self-interest usually will not admit this.8. Many people are unconsciously forced to hold a belief because he has become an important person in his group. (or a certain group of people)Lesson Nine1. But I may take the liberty of suggesting (or make bold to suggest) that you’ll find my idea of fun more interesting than Ivan’s? (So I guess you’d better choose to play the game with me.)2. He nodded toward Ivan, who was standing in the corner of the room, whose chest was as big and thick as a barrel．3. Y our brain will be competing with mine. Y our skill will be competing with mine. Y our strength and endurance will be competing with mine. It will be just like outdoor chess. And in the game our stakes are our precious lives.4. He was on a small island surrounded by the sea. What he could do was restricted within the limit of the island.5. He performed a series of complicated loops; He moved round and round, covering the same trail again and again so as to confuse his pursuer, remembering all the things he learned in fox hunt and the way the hunted fox tried to escape.6. It made him tremble all over. (Or: A feeling of horror swept over him. )7. He had had the same kind of experience in France, when he haddug a hole just in time to save himself from death. However, that urgent moment seemed nothing compared with this time.8. For Rainsford, a minute seemed as long as a year because hewas so frightened and anxious.9. “Y our Burmese tiger pit has killed one of my best dogs.’’10. “Rainsford can now sleep in this wonderful bed, and he is thewinner.” Rainsford came to a conclusion.。

新编英语教程第六册练习册paraphrase答案

Unit 11. Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that leaves you a changed person--not only changed, but changed for the better.The most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2. He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist.A t last he walked over from the other side of the street, wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head covered by a shapeless felt hat. He looked like a dwarfish old man full of energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist.3. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by.The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.4. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.Eventually, if you f orm a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.5. ... you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future.…you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.6. ''My, my,'' said the Old Man slyly. ''If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?''The Old Man said to me tr ickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “If only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.” I laughed and understood what he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster”.Unit 21. Moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver Jehovah's edict to Pharaoh. Moses justified his unwillingness to pass Jehovah’s order to Pharaoh, saying that he was “slow of speech”.2. Yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.Delay leads to problems. However, in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3. He notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly.He points out that hastiness may give rise to decision which turn out to be humiliating or expensive.4. Bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal---and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made.Excessive red-tape(官样文章；繁文缛节) developed because public administration was expanding in scope and because society was growing more and more complicated. In this sense, red-tape helped those in charge of policy to be fully engaged in enormous amount of paperwork and judgment, thus making it impossible for an immature decision to result.5. ...many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page.…many of my friends have a hard time the moment they attempt to put pen to paper.Unit 31. Of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but I suspect---I more than suspect, I am convinced---that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.Brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I should say I am pretty sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2. If a building's design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.If a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3. In a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control.P eople in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.The principal function of today's wall is to separate possible undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside.Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5. To repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls.Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.Unit 41. He was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts.He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2. When every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genial still, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed, a thing he was most delighted in doing.3. He could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4. This element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained.The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5. Thus the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan; for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?Unit51. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own.This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2. Of course, everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged had been done.It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3. ...; but the king would not think of allowing any fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delight and satisfaction.…,even though the ki ng was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4. ...; but gold, and the power of a woman's will, had brought the secret to the princess..…; but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5. He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.Unit 61. There seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they needa varied, exciting life in order to do their best.It is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and that only a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.2. The outstanding characteristic of man's creativeness is the ability to transmute trivial impulses into momentous consequences.One of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.3. An eventful life exhausts rather than stimulates.A life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.4. It is usually the mediocre poets, writers, etc.,who go in search of stimulating events to release their creative flow.Only literary artists of an average type rely on excitements in life as a source for their creative work./ Great poets, writers, etc., create works of art out of trivial and common subject.5. People who find dull job unendurable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves when at leisure.People who are unable to see how to be patient with repetitious work are usually those who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.。

(Para. 2)Here the word education is used in a broad sense, which involves not only the process of acquiring knowledge and developing skills, but also that of improving the mind.4.You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn‟t jump the fence, or that your client doesn‟t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence.

As an engi neer, you shouldn‟t get things out of control. If you become a lawyer, you should make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you lack adequate legal knowledge and skill to defend your client.5.Along with everything else, they will probably be what puts food on your table, supports your wife, and rears your children.In addition to all other things these professions offer, they provide you with a living so that you can support a family—wife and children.6.They will be your income, and may it always suffice. (Para. 5)I hope that your income will always be enough.7.“I hope you make a lot of it, ” I told him, “because you‟re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you‟re not signing checks.” (Para. 8)If you don‟t have any goal in life apart from making money to satisfy your desire for material riches, go ahead and make a lot of it.8.If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Aristotle, or Chaucer, or Einstein, you are neither a de veloped human nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 12)If you are too anxious to make money, too ignorant to see your limitations, then you couldn‟t regard those great people‟s minds as a gift to your humanity, and thus you can‟t be a developed human.Unit 2 Say Yes1. Unlike most men he knew, he really pitched in on the housework. (1)他和他认识的大多数男人不同，他真的努力帮忙做家务。

新编英语教程6课后习题paraphrase答案Unit 31.Brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, I would assume, indeed I should say I am pretty sure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2.If a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3.People in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.Today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5.Again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.Unit 41.He was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as tochallenge his authority. When his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2.When all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. And he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed,a thing he was most delighted in doing.3.He enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. The only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4.The fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5.Thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?Unit51.This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2.It was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3.…,even though the king was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4..…; but because she had th e money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5.He knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.。

Lesson 1 How to get the poor off our conscienceVirtue is ... self-centered.By right action,we mean it must help promote personal interest. ...(poverty) was a product of their excessive fecundity...The poverty of the poor was caused by their having too many children. ...the rich were not responsible for either its creation or its amelioration. The rich were not to blame for the existence of poverty so they should not be asked to undertake the task of solving the problem.It is merely the working out of a law of nature and a law of God.It is only the result or effect of the law of the survival of the fittest applied to nature of to human society.It declined in popularity, and references to its acquired a condemnatory tone.People began to reject Social Darwinism because it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose treasured values of sympathy,love and friendship.Therefore,when it was mentioned,it was usually the target of criticism....the search for a way of getting the poor off our conscience was not at an end; it was only suspended.The desire to find a way to justify the unconcern for the poor had not been abandoned,it had only been put off....only rarely given to overpaying for monkey wrenches, flashlights,coffee makers, and toilet seats.Government officials,on the whole ,are good,it is very rare that some would pay high prices for office equipment to get kickbacks.This is perhaps our most highly influential piece of fiction.It is a very popular story and has been accepted by many but it is not true.Belief can be the servant of truth---but even more of convenience.Belief can be useful in the search for truth,but more often than not it is accepted because it is convenient and self-serving.George Gilder... Who tells to much applause that the poor must have the cruel spur of their own suffering to ensure effort...George Gilder advances the view that only when the poor suffer from great misery will they be stimulated to make great efforts to change the situation,in other words,suffering is necessary to force the poor to work hard.Lesson 2 The woods were tossing with jewelsBut these marks of wild country called to may father like the legendary siren song.Though the place was not pleasant or disagreeable,my father was deeply attracted to it precisely because of its unexplored,uncultivated natural state,and the challenge."I'm afraid the day's going to catch us," I explained, wondering whatgreat disaster might befall us if it did.As a little girl,I believed my father's words ,and was genuinely afraid of the possible disaster--if we didn't hurry up,the day would catch us and terrible things might happen....from time to time he was halfheartedly sought for trial, though few crimes seemed to lead directly to his door.In this place,though the police wound make some effort without real earnest to investigate Watson and bring him to court,there seemed to be little concrete evidence to prove that he was responsible for certain illegal activities.The stranglehold Watson had over this section of Florida was not dissimilar to the unscrupulous activities of certain lawmen, other legal crooks, and even governors that our state was to suffer through its history. The control Watson had over this part of Florida was much similar to the dishonest or illegal activities of the law-enforcing officials and governors which Florida witnessed in the 20th century.There was the little shack, not the most gracious of living quarters, and there was a murderer for our nearest and only neighbor, about thirty miles away.Before the family built their own house,they lived in a shabby cabin at Gopher Key,close to the merciless Watson.King Richard in his gluttony neer sat at a table more sumptuous than ourswas three times a day...We had abundant food on the island,and even the meals enjoyed by King Richard,who was famous for his love of food,couldn't possibly compare with ours.Despite the unrelenting heat, we were happy to be let off from our hours of school indoors, sessions which our mother kept every day, rain or shine.Although it was very hot outside in the sun,we were happy to be dismissed from my mother's sessions indoors.we would have to read and write with her every day no matter what the weather was like. lesson 3 At war with the planetBut this image, now repeatedly thrust before us in photographs, posters, and advertisements, is misleading.The Earth we see in photos,posters,and ads,which appears so beautiful,is not the true reflection of the world we live in ,such image lulls us into complacency.The technosphere has become sufficiently large and intense to alter the natural processes that govern the ecosphere.Human activities have taken place over such large areas and with such intensity that they have already caused disastrous effects on ecology. ...which could establish itself only because it fitted properly into the preexisting system.the fish could play its role because it became a necessary link with the processes preceding it and the processes following it in the ecological system.Defined so narrowly, it is no surprise that cars have properties that are hostile to their environment.when cars are produced to serve such narrow purposes,it is not surprising that some of their characteristic qualities are harmful to the environment.22.Yields rose, but not in proportion to the rate of fertilizer application... the farmer applied more and more fertilizer,and the production did rise but did not increase at the same rate of the fertilizer.23...their waste is flushed into the sewer system altered in composition but not in amount at treatment plant...people eat plants and animals,and their waste is flushed into the sewer system.After being processed,the waste is still waste.the residue will go into rivers,oceans,and will have harmful effect on the aquatic ecosystem.24.Left to their own devices, ecosystems are conservative...if the ecosystems are not upset by outside intrusion,they will remain the same with very little change25.In contrast to the ecosphere, the technosphere is composed of objects and materials that reflect a rapid and relentless process of change and variation.the characteristics of the objects and materials in the technosphere are rapid change and great variety.26.But this is done only at the cost of understanding.if we take side in the war of the two words, we are doing so at the risk of failing to have a clear understanding of the nature and cause of the war,thus,we lose the chance to really solve the grave environmental crisis. Lesson4 nettlesHow all my own territory would be altered, ad if a landslide had gone through it and skimmed off all meaning except loss of Mike.the impact of Mike's leaving on my life was beyond my imagination.I didn't expect that Mike's leaving would have such a tremendous power that it would change the meaning of my existence completely.All my thoughts were about loss of Mike.During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman's mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and "The Cocktail Party".At that time,we were young mothers,and we were supposed to lead a terribly busy life full of confusion and bewilderment caused by giving birth to and raising babies.and our minds were supposed to be fully occupied by how to feed the babies and things like that.However,in the midst of all this we still felt the need to discuss some of the importantthinkers of our time like Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and T.S.Eliot's sophisticated work"The Cocktail Party"....I would be frightened, not of any hostility but of a kind of nonexistence.I would be frightened,and my fear was not caused by my neighbor's visibly hostile and violent way of life,but by a kind of formless and hidden emptiness and meaninglessness of human existence.What happened around me was totally irrelevant to me,and I felt very isolated and alienated.She did not ask me---was it delicacy or disapproval?---about my new life. She did not ask me about my new life,either out of subtle consideration for my feeling about this sensitive subject or out of disapproval for my new life style.It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends.It would be a morally low thing,an indecent thing to commit infidelity in the house of a friend.I knew now that he was a person who had hit rock bottom.I knew that he was a person who had experienced the worst in life,the hardest experience a person might have to endure.He and wife knew that together and it bound them, as something like that would either break you apart or bind you, for life.They experienced the worst together and they knew what it was like and understood the meaning of that experience.such an experience posed thegravest test to people.if they stood the test,their friendship or marriage would be strengthened,and a sacred bondage would be formed between them.but if they failed the test,their relationship would be broken and they would flow on gently andNot risking a thing yet staying alive as a sweet trickle, an underground resource. With the weight of this now stillness on it, this seal.If they acted on love,they would take risks.they wouldn't do that or go further in their relationship,but they would rather let their love remain as a sweet trickle,which would flow on gently and...Lesson 5 The One Against the Many1....the national rejection of dogmatic preconceptions about the nature of the social and economic orderthere are such prejudices in an arrogant manner about the characteristic of the social order and economic order and they take it for granted.The country just rejected such prejudice.2 Nor can one suggest that Americans have been consistently vulnerability to secular ideology ever afterNo one can say that Americans have never been tempted by the approach of understanding ,preserving or transforming the world according to rigid dogmas..and any intellect so shaped was ...ever afterA mind influenced by Calvinist theology would surely find it somewhatdifficult to resist other ideological temptations to ideological thinking. Pragmatism is no more wholly devoid...experiencePragmatism is not completely free from abstract ideas just as ideology is not completely free from experience,that is to say,abstract ideas have a place in pragmatism just as experience has a role in ideology.As an ideologist,however,Jefferson....historical curiosityAs a man following a fixed set of beliefs,Jefferson is only an interesting historical figure.His beliefs are out of date and are irrelevant to present-day reality....whose central dogma is confided to the custody of an infallible priesthoodTheir central beliefs are imprisoned by the whole body of priests who are always effective....where free men may find partial truths,but where ...on Absolute Truth In this universe a person whose mind is unconstrained may be able to discover relation truths but no man on earth can claim that he has already grasped the one and only truth.But ideology is a drug; no matter how ...it still persists.Ideology has the characteristic of a narcotic.In spite of the fact that it has been proved wrong many times by experience, people still long to commit themselves to ideology....the only certainty in an .....abuseThe only thing that is sure of a despotic system is the unrestricted exercise of power.10. The distinctive human triumph...lies in the capacity to understand the frailty of human striving ...nonethelessThe most outstanding achievement of humanity is they know that no matter how hard they try,they cannot achieve Absolute truth,yet they continue to make great efforts and refuse to give upLesson6 Death of a pig1.It is a tragedy enacted on most farms with ...The murder,being premeditated,is in the first degree..and the smoked bacon and ham provide...questionedthe tragedy has an ending---the killing of a pig and the serving of its meat.The killing deliberately planned and carried out efficiently,is the most type of murder.However,whether pigs should end their lives that way has never been questioned.A pig couldn't ask for anything better or none has, at any rateA pig could not ask for any better living conditions;at least no pig has ever complained.In a word,my pig lived in a pleasant environmentYou could see him down there at all hours, his white face parting (i)stethoscope dangling ...and grinning his corrosive grinFred was quite excited about the event.He was down at the pigpen all the time.because of his swollen joints,he moved about unsteadily.His face setapart the grass along the fence as he moved about.He was like a doctor,with his long ,drooping ears dangling like a stethoscope,and he scrabbbled on the ground as if he were prescibing some medicine.When the enema bag appeared, and the bucket of warm suds, his happiness...full charge of the irrigationWhen it was time to dose the pig,Fred became even more excited,and he managed to get through the fence,and acted as if he was taking charge of the medical treatment....and the premature expiration of a pig is...a sorrow in which it feels fully involvedIf a pig dies before he is supposed to ,it is a serious matter for the whole community to remember.The whole community would share the sadness for his death.I have written this account in penitence and in grief,as a man who...and to explain my...so many raised pigsThe purpose of this essay is to show that I am sorry for what has happened to my pig,since I have failed to raise the pig and cannot provide a reason why my pig could didn't grow the way other pigs have grown. The grave in the woods is unmarked,but ...and I know he and I...on flagless ..own choosingThe pig's grave in the woods doesn't have a tombstone,but whenever somebody wants to visit it,Fred will show him the way.I know we willoften visit it,separate or together,when we need to ponder over problems or when we are depressed.Lesson 7 Inaugural addressFor man holds in his mortal hands....and all forms of human life. rendering it uninhabitable and lifeless....unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights... We do not want to see or to allow the slow destruction of those human rights.To those peoples in the huts and villages of half.....of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves...To the people of the underdeveloped countries living in poverty in rural areas,we are committed to helping them to rid themselves of mass poverty by their own efforts.But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.But we should not let any communist power take advantage of this alliance for progress to expand its influence.And let every other power know that this....of its own house.We want to make clear to the communist powers that Americas are the Americas of the Americans.do not attempt to penetrate into this area. ...before the dark powers of destruction..... or accidental self-destruction. before the world is destroyed by a nuclear war launched in a preemptiveattack or caused by accident....yet both raing to alter the uncertain...of mankind's final war.Yet both sides attempt to get an edge in the nuclear arms race so as to break the mutual deterrence which has so far prevented the outbreak of a nuclear war....civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof.To be ready to negotiate and establish friendly relations does not mean that we are weak or afraid.declarations of sincere intention have to be tested by actions.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors. Let the two sides use the fruits of science for the benefit of humanity rather than using high-tech weapons to kill and destroy....each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty.There have been occasions for each generations of Americans to be called upon to fight and die for their country.Lesson 8 A rose for Emilybut garages and cotton gins had ...of that neighborhood...the street used to house only the best families.But then great changes took place:garages and cotton gins were established on the street and their existence wiped out the aristocratic traces in that neighbouhood.Not that Miss Emily would have accepted charity.It would not be true to say that miss emily would have accepted charity. "Just as if a man-any man-could keep a kitchen properly," the ladies said....What the ladies said meant that they did not in the least believe a man ,any man,could keep a kitchen properly.It was another link between the gross, teeming world and the high and mighty Griersons.The griersons regarded themselves as very important and the outside world as vulgar and full of people inferior to them.they belonged to two entirely different worlds.however,the complaints about the smell served as a link between the two different worlds and compelled miss emily to deal with the outside world.The next day th received two more.....in diffident deprecation.The next day the mayor received two more complaints.one of them was from a man who came and pleaded to the mayor in a shy and timid way. People in our town, remembering how old lady Wyatt.....a little too high for what the really were.People in the town felt that the Grierson family regarded themselves more important than they really deserved to be.the fact that miss emily great-aunt,old lady wyatt,had gone crazy had to do with this blind,excessive self-importance.Now she too would know the old thrill and the old despair of a penny more or less.Ordinary people often become excited or worried when they get a penny more or a penny less.Being poor,now she would learn to appreciate the value of money like other people in the town.But there were still other, older people, who...without calling it noblesse oblige.But there were still others,older people,who said that no matter how sad miss emily was (over her father death),she should not forget she had certain obligations as a member of the nobility,though a real lady would not describe her self-restraint by the expression noblesse oblige。
