Commitment
If two people are to make a relationship work, intimacy and passion must be maintained through thick and thin. When time gets rough, both parties must attempt to resolve the problems based on the assumption that the other person also wants to do so, too. Part of commitment means offering support to your partner whenever possible. However, this doesn’t entail blindly accepting everything the other person says or does. It’s perfectly fine to agree or disagree. Respecting differences in opinions and points of view is an important part of any relationship.

What could a woman do in such a (2) decidedlymale-dominated world? They argued.But the (3) motive behind the choice of Simona as the new presenter soon became apparent. Ratherthan change to fit the programme – there is nothing (4) masculine about her – she created a new, moremodern show, the (5) principal aim of which is to entertain the whole family. The old style, lengthy andrather technical analyses of football matches, has been replaced by a lively TV programme, which is(6) animated by guest celebrities, dancers and singers, as well as extracts from the day’s top matches.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the following words. You may need to makeother changes.1 Cultural and intellectual programmes tend to be broadcast very late in the evening. (highbrow)2 At the beginning I was very shy, but I soon got to know everyone and made friends. (initially)3 The course I enjoyed most when I was studying linguistics was the one on the relationship betweenwords and meanings. (semantics)4 To find out more about English as a world language, we need reliable people who are able to giveinformation. (informants)5 She sent me a bunch of roses when I got the job, and I did the same when she got promoted.(reciprocated)6 For some men there is still a feeling of embarrassment and unease about taking orders from a femalesuperior. (stigma)7 After the goal was disallowed, most of the words I could hear were swear words. (expletives)8 You can’t speak like that to someone you don’t know. It’s a matter of rules of social behaviour. (etiquette)9 Only after a very careful and time-consuming editing will this book be ready for publication.(exhaustive)8 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Does scandalous behaviour (a) make you feel uncomfortable, or (b) leave you indifferent?2 If you bemoan something, do you (a) express pleasure, or (b) complain about it?3 If you rake over something, do you (a) want to forget it, or (b) keep talking about it?4 If you are appreciative of something someone has done for you, do you (a) thank them, or (b) criticizethem?5 If a man has an effeminate manner, does he make you think of (a) a child, or (b) a woman?6 Is camp behaviour (a) typical of, or (b) different from established norms about the traditional male wayof doing things?Reading and interpreting9 Check ( ) the writer’s main purposes in writing the passage.√1 to summarize findings from recent researchMost of the passage is taken up with research findings from both the writer and others. If you arenot sure about this, look at how many times words like study, research, findings, found, interviews,interviewed, informants etc are used and read the last two sentences of paragraph five and see howverbs in the past tense in the second part are all reporting research findings!2 to present the writer’s own research findingsThese are clearly included and they are most of the second part, but thisis the main purpose is notto present them – they illustrate how gossip works.3 to dispel a myth about males and gossipThe first part of the text does this, but the second part reports research only about women’s gossip,so No 1 is a better answer.4 to show that women are superior to menNo, the writer does not intend to show this and doesn’t do so.5 to encourage people to learn to gossip properlyNo, the passage is about rules, but these are not the kind that people are supposed to learn but thedescriptive rules that describe common behaviour. There is nothing about encouraging people tobehave like this.6 to draw attention to the different ways in which men and women gossip This is a reasonable answer but the passage is really reporting research (see No 1)7 to analyze the way in which women gossipThis is the point of the second part, but not the main idea of the whole passage.Active reading (2)Marked: women in the workplaceReading and understanding3 Choose the best summary of the passage.1 The English language reflects and reinforces the sexist attitudes of society, whether we consider wordssuch as actress, which is a less serious equivalent of the word actor, or titles we give women, such asMrs, Miss and Ms.This only summarizes the first section, but the title should indicate that a summary would say more thanthis, including the points about hairstyle or clothes.2 Women find it much harder to get on in the workplace because they haveto spend too much timethinking about what clothes to wear, or what hairstyle they should have. This is only one point. It doesn’t summaraize the main idea and examples of language use.3 Women constantly have to make choices about dress and appearance, and even the way they sign theirnames, which lead people to make judgments about them; men do not have to make the same choices.Although this doesn’t emphasize language, it summarizes the main idea of choi ce (marked / unmarked).4 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which of the following words is marked?(a) Doctor. (b) Actor.(c) Actress. (d) Poet.2 What does a marked female ending to a word usually convey?(a) Physical attractiveness.(b) A lack of authority.(c) A lack of seriousness.(d) Greater professional competence.3 What did the writer notice at a conference?(a) All the women were dressed in the same way.(b) All the men were dressed in the same way.(c) One of the men wore a cowboy shirt and jeans.(d) None of the women wore sensible shoes.4 What did a woman with high heels do at the conference?(a) She was isolated by her female colleagues.(b) She was the first to complete a group task.(c) She broke one of the heels when she had to make a trek.(d) She took off her shoes and attracted a group of men.5 What did a male colleague tell a female lawyer to do before she went to court?(a) To put on a jacket over her blouse.(b) To do up a button on her blouse.(c) To undo a button on her blouse.(d) To wear something with darker colours.6 What is a woman often asked to do when filling in a form?(a) Choose from four titles.(b) Give both her married and unmarried name.(c) Give information about her married status.(d) Avoid using the title “Dr”.Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 the place where you work (workplace)2 to mean something (denote)3 to make something or someone become gradually less effective, confident, or successful(undermine)4 to think that something is true because it is likely, although you cannot be certain (presume)5 a regular and important part or feature of something (staple)6 involving or consisting of many people, things, or parts (multiple)7 expressing what you mean using clear and effective language (eloquent)8 used to describe a word that refers to one person or thing (singular)9 behaving in a very unfriendly or threatening way towards someone (hostile)10 to say or write words that someone else has said or written (quote)11 to give someone responsibility for an important job or activity (entrust)6 Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.1 Melanie got to her feet and made a eloquent defence of the rights of women in the workplace.2 There are a number of words in English, such as people, which although technically in the singularform, in actual fact denote a plural meaning.3 The dark suit is a staple of the businessman’s wardrobe, and I presume it will remain so for a long time.4 The hostile reception he got at the meeting is likely to undermine all the work that has been donerecently to improve relations between staff and management.5 Jason suffered multiple injuries in the accident, and we didn’t want to entrust an inexperienced surgeonwith the operation.6 I think that most world leaders in the next century will be women, but don’t quote me on that.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the following words. You may need to makeother changes.1 Don’t forget to put on a bit of lipstick and mascara before you go out. (make-up)2 The candidate displayed a lack of seriousness which we felt was not appropriate to the position he wasapplying for. (frivolousness)3 I need to check my free dates in March before I can confirm whether I shall be able to attend theconference. (availability)4 He has an attractive smile which people find hard to resist. (alluring)5 This list of participants needs to be put into alphabetical order. (alphabetized)6 The first person officially suggested as general secretary had to withdraw due to ill health. (nominee)7 After the first remarks offering congratulations the atmosphere at the prize-giving ceremony turned sour.(congratulatory)8 The speaker made a comment which I found unfriendly and which meant the opposite of what he reallymeant. (sarcastic)8 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 Is a linguistic problem concerned with (a) words, or (b) figures?2 If you are disqualified from an event, do the organizers (a) allow you, or (b) refuse to allow you to takepart?3 Is rub likely to mean (a) a problem, or (b) a solution?4 If you have got myriad job offers, are you likely to be (a) concerned, or (b) optimistic about your future?5 If you let on about something to someone, do you (a) tell them about it, or (b) keep it a secret?6 If you duck something which has been thrown at you, does it (a) hit, or (b) miss you?7 If someone speaks to you in an uppity way, is their manner (a) superior, or (b) humble and polite?Reading and interpreting9 Answer the questions.1 From which field has the writer borrowed the term marked?The term marked is borrowed from linguistics.2 What are the differences between a “marked” and an “unmarked” word? An “unmarked” word is normal, common or neutral, while a “marked” one is noticeable or used in aparticular way or has a special meaning. Sometimes the unmarked one is positive and the unmarked onis negative.3 What is the difference between a “marked” and an “unmarked” appearance in the workplace?An “unmarked” appearance would be normal, neutral and common, so it isunlikely that anyone wouldcomment on it. A “marked” appearance would be different, particular andnoticeable because it wouldbe a contrast to all those with an unmarked appearance – people would belikely to comment on theperson with the marked appearance.4 Why is no make-up “marked” for women?Because many or most women wear some make-up. A woman wearing no make-up in a context where itis expected that make-up would be worn is noticeably different, so it is“marked”.5 How often do men wear “marked” clothes in the workplace?Not often or rarely.6 What is the connection between “marked” and “sexy”?Assuming that most women wear attractive and smart clothes, say in the workplace, this would beunmarked (among women), whereas if a woman wore sexy clothes (which for example were veryrevealing), this would be noticeable and “marked” (and inappropriate).In another context, the oppositemight be the case, say at a party where most women were dressed in a sexy manner, someone dressedsmartly and conservatively but not in a sexy manner would be “marked”.7 Why are women’s titles (Mrs, Miss and Ms) all marked?Because whichever choice a woman makes it tells people something more than their title: If they chooseMrs, they are married but perhaps conservative or traditional; if they choose Miss they are unmarriedbut perhaps also traditional; if they choose Ms, you don’t know whetherthey are married or not, but youdo know that they don’t want to give information about being married andthat they are more modern,liberated, rebellious or feminist. Men do not have to make any of these choices.8 In what sense are women’s surnames marked?In some English-speaking countries, say the US, married woman’s surname is marked becausetraditionally they take their husband’s surname as their married surname. So if a woman uses this name,it may signal that she is traditional or willing to adopt her husband’s identity. Some married women,especially in professions, continue to use their original surname from their own family, and then thisis “marked”– it may be a signal that they are modern, liberated, or wishto keep their own identity. Ofcourse, this is not a problem in Chinese and those other languages in which a married woman doesn’ttake her husband’s name.Language in usesay + something / nothing / a lot etc about1 Rewrite the sentences using say + something / nothing / a lot etc about .1 The boots she wears give a lot of information about her.The boots she wears say a lot about her.2 The way he talks about other people gives an indication of his personality.The way he talks about other people says something about his personality.3 The way she behaves doesn’t give any indication of her previous career. The way she behaves says nothing about her previous career.4 This statement is very revealing about the organization’s attitude to women.This statement says a lot about the organization’s attitude to women.5 This type of task gives some idea about the structure of the final examination.This type of task says something about the structure of the final examination.on + gerund2 Rewrite the sentences using on + gerund.1 When they checked the figures again, they realized there had been a mistake.On checking the figures again, they realized there had been a mistake.2 When she was asked, she said she would like to be known by her first name.On being asked, she said she would like to be known by her first name.3 When we investigated more completely, we made an important discovery. On investigating more completely, we made an important discovery.4 When they heard the news, most people reacted with offers to help. On hearing the news, most people reacted with offers to help.5 When people are accused of a crime they haven’t committed, most of them don’t know how to react.On being accused of a crime they haven’t committed, most people don’t know how to react.anything but3 Rewrite the sentences using anything but .1 The organizer of the conference was the opposite of helpful.The organizer of the conference was anything but helpful.2 The instructions you left were certainly not easy to follow.The instructions you left were anything but easy to follow.3 I felt extremely unsafe wearing those four-inch-high heels.I felt anything but safe wearing those four-inch-high heels.4 The weather last week was quite the opposite of warm and sunny.The weather last week was anything but warm and sunny.5 I think that attitudes towards women in the company where I work area long way from beingprogressive.I think that attitudes towards women in the company where I work areanything but progressive.other than4 Rewrite the sentences using other than .1 The only thing we do when the three of us meet is gossip.When the three of us meet we do nothing other than gossip.2 Men have no real alternative unless it is to wear a suit.Men have no real alternative other than to wear a suit.3 The only thing I wish to add is to say how much I have enjoyed the whole day.I have nothing to add other than to say how much I have enjoyed the whole day.4 They told her she didn’t have to do anything except sit quietly and look pretty.They told her she had nothing to do other than to sit quietly and look pretty.5 The only reason I have for being here is the free lunch.I have no reason to be here other than the free lunch. Collocations5 Match the adjectives in Column A with the nouns in Column B.A Bbright coloursconservative tastescorrect tonepopular beliefheavy make-uphighbrow subjectface value6 Complete the sentences with the collocations in Activity 5.1 Both of us have rather conservative tastes, so we’re unlikely to buy modern furniture.2 I’m afraid these bonds are worth a lot less than their face value.3 It’s not easy to find the correct tone in which to speak to new customers.4 I like wearing bright colours; I think they reflect my outgoing personality.5 Yesterday’s lecture was on such a highbrow subject that I couldn’t get interested.6 Why do they put such heavy make-up on people in television studios?7 The popular belief that men don’t cry is nonsense.7 Translate the paragraphs into Chinese.Women can’t even fill out a form without telling stories about themselves. Most application forms nowgive four choices for titles. Men have one to choose –“Mr.”– so their choice carries no meaning otherthan to say they are male. But women must choose among three, each of them marked. A woman whochecks the box for “Mrs.” or “Miss” communicates not only whether she has been married but also thatshe has conservative tastes in forms of address, and probably other conservative values as well. Checking“Ms.” declines to let on about marriage (whereas “Mr.” declines nothing since nothing was asked), butit also marks the woman who checks it on her form as either liberated or rebellious, depending on theattitudes and assumptions of the one making the judgment.I sometimes try to duck these variously marked choices by giving my title as “Dr.”– and thereby riskmarking myself as either uppity (hence sarcastic responses like “Excuse me!”) or an over-achiever (hencereactions of congratulatory surprise, like “Good for you!”). （☞翻译时注意原文的语气，否则就可能不准确。

The average one-way commute has grown by 13 percent to 25 minutes. For a growing number of people, getting to work takes more than an hour. In 2000, only in New York State did more than 10 percent of workers spend more than an hour getting to work. Now that situation can be found in several other states as well. Two pint eight million people have so called extreme commutes because they spend more than 90 minutes on their way to work.Steven, an electrical engineer, has an extreme commute between home and work. He learves home before dawn and returns after dark, but as tiring or boring as Stevens trip may sound, he says it’s the way to keep the home and jo he loves. “I have the balance right now,” Steven said. “I could do similar jobs closer, but not with the work rewards and job satisfaction I have now. and I could live closer, but I wouldn’t have the lifestyle that I desire.”Longer commutes frequently involve people who live at one end of the city and work at another. Such a pattern probably begins with companies moving away from the city center, attracting workers to move to less expensive areas further away from the city center. People see this as an opportunity because such aove may provide more affordable housing or better schools. Steven spends about $185 a week on gas. Even high fuel costs can pay off in a better quality of life.Added to long commutes are increased traffic jams, however. Comuters typically spend 47 hours a year in traffic jams, up from 40 hours a decade earlier.Q1: How much time on average do Americans spend on their way to work?Q2: What is the present situation about Americans’ commuting t work?Q3: why does Steven choose to have an extreme commute?Q4: Which of the following is the disadvantage of long commutes?Answers1C 2A 3D 4APassage 2Scripts and answersHumans’ first means of transportation were walking and swimming. 1)Gradually, humans learned to use animals for transportation. The use of animals not only allowed heavier loads to be hauled by them, but also 2)enabled humans to ride the animals so they could travel longer distances in a shorter amount of time. The invention of the wheel helped make animal transportation more efficient through the introduction of 3)vehicles. Also, water transportation 4)dates back to very early times and it was the best way to move large quantities of materials over long distances before the Industrial Revolution. 5)As a result, most cities that grew up as sites for trading have been established along rivers or the coast.Until the Industrial Revolution, transportation was very slow and expensive. After the Revolution, transportation changed 6)thoroughly. In the 19th century, the invention of the steam engine made land transportation independent of human or animal power. Both speed and 7)capacity increased rapidly.With the development of cars at 8)turn of the 20th century, land transportation became more common. In 1903, the first controllable airplane was invented, and after world War I, it became a fast way to transport people and goods. After World War II, 9)automobiles and airplanes became more popular as methods of transportation. Then, after high-speed rail was first introduced in Japan in 1964, passengers started using it in Asia and Europe instead of using airplanes to travel long distances.Now, 10)thanks to the development of technology, human beings are able to enjoy various methods of transportation for their speed and comfort.。

Is this play merely a conflictamong people or is it also a conflict of ideas?2)What was the evidence presented at the court against the boy?3)What would have happened to the boy if he had been found guilty?2 Background knowledgeAbout the author﹡Reginald Rose is a native Ne w Y orker, best known as a writer for television. The Twelve Angry Men was written in 1954 based on his experience as a juror. The play was turned into a movie in 1957 with Henry Fonda starring as No8.The present text isbased on of that movie. with much abridgement. What distinguished Rose’s teleplays was their direct preoccupation with social and political issues.﹡Useful legal termsJudiciary system: judge, 12 jurors, lawyer, plaintiff, defendant, public prosecutorThe jury trial is an important component in the U.S. judicial system. The jury consists of 12 jurors, selected at random, agreed on by the lawyers of the two sides, who will, after hearing all the evidenced and cross-examination and careful deliberation, give a verdict of guilty or not guilty. Today no jury would be made up entirely of men any more. Women now serve on juries as much as men.﹡JuryJury: is a group of up to 12 people, called “Jurors” whose duty it is to listen to the evidence given in a court trial and decide whether the accused is guilty or not guilty. The decision is called a “verdict”. If the verdict is not guilty, the accused is set free or acquitted; if the verdict is guilty, the judge will give the sentence.﹡Court System•Jurisdiction司法: by the Highest Court, the High Court, the Middle Court, the district courts, thelower courts•Legislation立法: by the Congress, hearings听证会•①The accused is deemed innocent until and unless proved “ guilty” beyond a reasonable doubt.•②In many jurisdictions, the majority of a jury is not sufficient to find a defendant guilty ofa felony.•③A trial does not aim at discovering who commit a particular crime, but rather the innocence or guilt of the accused.•④The system is not infallible and can be quite precarious.﹡A criminal court• A criminal court is a court of law which hears cases brought by the state against a person or a corporation which has violated a criminal law enacted by the legislature.﹡Police•Scotland Y ard 伦敦警察厅•NYPD, LAPD police department 警察局•FBI Federal Bureau of Investigation•Sheriff (美)县治安官•Police officer•区分：Security guard 保安, Firefighters, fire brigade,•Court-martial 军事法庭, international tribunal 国际法庭3.About the textTwelve Angry Men was adapted by Reginald Roes in1950s. It is about an 18-year-old boy who is on trial for murder, accused of knifing his father to death .The twelve jurors retire to the jury room, having been admonished that the defendant is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It turned out that in the first voting .all the 11 jurors vote for conviction. Except No.8, who feels there is a reasonable doubt, which prevents a quick verdict. The juror8 resolutely and painstakingly explains his reasons for doing that. During the heated deliberations, evidence that felt rock-solid is revealed to be dubious and the hidden preconceptions and assumptions of the jurors are revealed. At last, juror8 convinces every man on the jury that the charge to the defendant was not conclusively proved to convict him.4.Pre-class Questions• 1.
