Because he knew that there would be an unpleasant quarrel, and that it was wiser for him just to keep his mouth shut.If he didn’t, his wife would become much unhappier.This shows that they had previous serious disagreements.This was not the first time.It shows that the man has seldom taken his wife’s words seriously.4.“You coming along...and implying...”is the complex object of “need”.5.No. It’s evident that the wife is usingan ironical tone.No. The man is using a common excuse of white racists who make exertions to justify their racial discrimination/prejudice based on different skin colors by using a seemingly more neutral and respectable term “cultural differences”.6.To show that he found the situation very annoying.Normally it means “what i say is absolutely true”, but here he means “it is true not because i am saying it, but because i have statistics to certify/prove this”.7.She said it contemptuously.She was getting angry/annoyed.8.Because his wife keeps mimicking/imitating him, showing that she thinks what he said was ridiculous and hypocritical.9.Like “Oh boy” or “My God”, it is toshow his anger, as if to say “Don’t start up that conversation again. I’m fed up”.10.It means “not married or engaged; without a regular companion”.11.His wife remained angry.12.It means “to recognize sth as a result of knowledge, experience or evidence”(看得出来). She saw clearly that her husband hesitated before he answered the question, and he hesitated because that he was trying to get out of this embarrassing situation.13.She wanted him to give her his true answer14.It shows his reluctance/unwillingness to give this answer.15.Her indifference implies contempt. It would naturally hurt her husband. 16.“To be at it”here means doing something else that follows from theprimary/original thing.“Might as well” means that you do sth because it seems best in the situation that you are in, although you may not really want to do it.No, he was embarrassed and annoyed too. He continued the housework to cover up his anger and show his indifference in return.17.He is ashamed of being made to lose his temper. He thinks it was foolish of him to take his wife so seriously. He obviously does not view his wife as his intellectual equal.18.He is going to change his answer. No, he just wants to humor迁就；顺应；顺某人的意his wife, and he does not think the issue that important anyway (=besides).19.He was hoping that now that he had said that he would marry her even ifshe were black, she would forgive him somehow. When his wife asked him to turn off the light, he expected her to join him. So he said “All right好啦”meaning “I’ve turned off the light as you asked me to do. Come over to me now”.20.As I see it, it was not the first time since they had married that he had felt his wife was a stranger to him.V ocabulary第一大题第一小题1.Suffix “-ware”, meaning objects made of a particular material2.Suffix “-ics”, meaning the sience or art of3./4.

In the coming chapters, you will encounter many new terms and some familiar words that economists use in specialized ways. At first, this new language may seem needlessly arcane. But, as you will see, its value lies in its ability to provide you a new and useful way of thinking about the world in which you live.经济学家也一样。

The humani ties: Out of date?1 When the goinggets tough, the toughtake accoun ting. When the job marketworsen s, many studen ts calcul ate they can't majorin Englis h or histor y. They have to studysometh ing that boosts theirprospe cts of landin g a job.2 The data show that as studen ts have increa singl y should eredthe ever-rising cost of tuitio n, they have defect ed from the studyof the humani tiesandtoward applie d scienc e and "hard" skills that they bet will lead to employ ment. In otherwords, a colleg e educat ion is more and more seen as a meansfor econom icbetter mentrather than a meansfor humanbetter ment. This is a trendthat is likely topers ist and even accele rate.3 Over the next few years, as labormarket s strugg le, the humani tieswill probab ly contin ue theirlong slidein succes sion. Therealread y has been a nearly 50 percen t declin e in the portio n of libera l arts majors over the past genera tion, and it is logica l to thinkthat the trendis boundto contin ue or even accele rate. Oncethe domina nt pillar s of univer sitylife, the humani tiesnow play little roleswhenstuden ts take theircolleg e tours. Thesedays, labs aremore vividand compel lingthan librar ies.4 Here, please allowme to standup for and promot e the true valuethat thehumani tiesadd to people's lives. Sinceancien t times, people have specul atedaboutthe myster y of thoseinnerforces that drivesome people to greatn ess and othersto self-destru ction.This innerdrivehas been called many things over thecentur ies. The famous psycho logis t, Sigmun d Freud, called it the "uncons cious mind" or, more famili arly, "instin ct".5 From the beginn ing of time, this inneraspect of our being, this drivethat can be constr uctiv e or destru ctive, has captur ed our imagin ation. The storie s of this amazin g strugg le have formed the basisof cultur es the worldover. Histor ians, archit ects, author s,philos opher s and artist s have captur ed the words, images and meanin gs of this innerstrugg le in the form of story, music, myth, painti ng, archit ectur e,sculpt ure, landsc ape and tradit ions. Thesemen and womendevelo ped artist ic "langua ges" that help us unders tandtheseaspira tions and also educat egenera tions. This fertil e body of work from ancien t times, the very founda tionofcivili zatio n, formsthe basisof studyof the humani ties.6 Studyi ng the humani tiesimprov es our abilit y to read and write. No matter what we do in life, we will have a huge advant age if we can read comple x ideasandunders tandtheirmeanin g. We will have a bright career if we are the person in the office who can writea clearand elegan t analys is of thoseideas!7 Studyi ng the humani tiesmakesus famili ar with the langua ge of emotio n and the creati ve proces s. In an inform ation econom y, many people have the abilit y to produc e a useful produc t such as a new MP3 player. Yet, very few people have the abilit y to create aspect acula r brand: the iPod. Most import antly, studyi ng thehumani tiesinvest s us with greatinsigh t and self-awaren ess, thereb yrele asing our creati ve energy and talent in a positi ve and constr uctiv e manner.8 Perhap s the best argume nt in favorof the humani tiesis the scopeof possib iliti es that are widely open to us. Did you know thatJa mes Camero n, world-famous direct or of the movie,Titani c, gradua ted with a degree in the humani ties? So did SallyRide, the firstwomanin space. So did actors BruceLee, Gwynet h Paltro w, ReneeZellwe ger and Matt Damon. Dr. Harold Varmus, who won a NobelPrizefor Medici ne, studie d the humani ties. Even Michae l Eisner, Chairm an of the Disney Compan y, majore d in the humani ties.Famous people who studie d the humani tiesmake a long list indeed. It's easy to see that the humani tiescan prepar e us for many differ ent career s and jobs we can undert ake, whethe r medici ne, busine ss, scienc e orentert ainme nt. If we studyonly mathem atics, it's likely we will be a candid ate only for jobs as a mathem atici an. If we includ e studyi ng the humani ties, we canmake breakt hroug hs on many barrie rs and are limite d only by our effort andimagin ation.9 Of course, nowada ys, if we studythe humani tiesalone, we are liable to miss many opport uniti es. Each one of us needsto become as techni cally and profes siona llyskille d as possib le to help meet the needsof modern life. In fact, increa singl y a pairin g of techni cal knowle dge and innerinsigh t is seen as the idealin the establ ishme nt of a career. If I were the Dean of Admiss ionsat a medica l school and two people applie d to our school, both having the requir ed basicscient ificcourse s, one a philos ophymajorand the othersolely a pre-med studen t, the philos ophyapplic ant wouldbe chosen.10 In summar y, the humani tieshelp to create well-rounde d humanbeings with insigh t and unders tandi ng of the passio ns, hopesand dreams common to all humani ty. The humani ties, the ancien t timele ss reserv oir of knowle dge, teachus to see thingsdiffer ently and broade n our horizo ns. They are as useful and releva nt in our modern age as they have always been. Doesn't it make senseto spendsome time in the compan y of the humani ties, our outsta nding and remark abletreasu re ofknowle dge? Who knowshow famous YOU mightbecome!。
