UNIT 6Language sense enhancementWhy are we so quick to limit ourselves? I’m not denying that most little girls love dolls and most little boys love videogames, and it may be true that some people favor the right side of their brain, and others the felt. But how relevant is that to me, or to anyone, as an individual? Instead of translating our difference into hard and fast conclusions about the human brain, why can’t we focus instead on how incredibly flexible we are ? Instead of using what we know as a reason why women can’t learn physics, maybe we should consider the possibility that our brain are more powerful than we imagine.Vocabulary1)Students from countries such as China, which has a drastically different culture and language from the US, have to absorb a great deal of cultural shock when they first arrive.2)Persist（持续的）headache can be a(n) indication of a serious problem, so do not hesitate to contact your doctor.3)A miniature garden takes little space but adds much beauty to the landscape.4)It is more than a little ironic that some insurance companies can’t even ensure their own survival.5)This former chemistry student stumbled into the baking business when he took apart-time job at a bakery and learned the art of bread making in the summer time.6)I’ll buy whichever decent car model that comes first for a good price.7)Help! A bee is buzzing in my ear!8)some experts say the abnormal weather recently experienced by China was caused by El Nino.9)The spokesperson read the statement by the white house in a dry mechanical tone.10)Shuddering in the cold darkness I hoped my husband would come for me soon.11)Mary did not actually say that she was going abroad, but she certainly implied that she was.12)Bob knows little about European art and he is a prudent(谨慎的)guy.

Theme-Related WritingDo either of the following two writing tasks. You may draw on some useful ideas and expressions from avariety of sources, such as the two texts in this unit or the Internet.1) Having read the two passages in this unit, you may have come to a better understanding of life and the timeswhen pessimistic and optimistic thoughts take turns to affect your behaviour. Write a letter of encouragement(of about 150 words) to one of your high school friends who failed in the college entrance examination. Tellhim or her about your new understanding of the need to remain optimistic.2) The writers of the two texts in this unit convey to us the message that we need to look at the positive side ofanything that comes to us and that we need to take an optimistic and positive attitude toward life. Write anessay (of about 150 words) to share your ideas with your classmates. The following hints may be of somehelp:a. What is meant by “thinking positively”?b. What is the connection between success and optimism?c. How can we keep an optimistic and positive attitude?▆Sample Letter for Task 1:Dear Weihua,I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. I've just read anarticle about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you acopy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell onthe past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future.Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things wehave to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picturethem often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance. You will make it.Yours,Janet(152 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping forthe best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved.The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it might seem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have acause-and-resultrelationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidenceand that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.Gradually, people's attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up moreopportunities for the individual, but it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues.Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible toisit whether situations, favourable visualizing try can person A consciously. processes such control remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after.

(156 words)2) People may have different opinions about the key factors for success. Write a short essay (of about 150words) and share your opinions with your classmates.Sample essay:In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elementsof success: competence, determination and optimism.For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. Theperson needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence,the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to thedoors of opportunity and advancement.Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned andfailure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firmand optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, successwill never knock at the door.
