Unit1在我成長的房子里有一間屋子，我們把它稱作圖書館。當(dāng)然，那不是真正的圖書館，它僅僅是由電視機(jī)占據(jù)了主要位置的一間書齋。但是它四面墻上全部裝修了嵌入式書架，上面擺了數(shù)百本書籍那些精裝本的書籍呈現(xiàn)著各種顏色，它們在那間屋里把我們團(tuán)團(tuán)圍住。這些書是我父母和祖父母花了畢生精力收集起來的，它們成為我童年的一部分。我們這一代人即20世紀(jì)50年代和60年代的人可能是了解這種心情的最后一代人了，那種被上百萬文字環(huán)繞著的感覺；那些文字是歷代知名的和默默無聞的作家們的作品。當(dāng)前，在20世紀(jì)70年代中期，我們正目睹一個(gè)不易察覺卻毫無疑問存在的慢慢背離書籍這類事物的傾向?？峙旅绹募彝ズ芸炀筒粫?huì)再留出房間做圖書館了。精裝的圖書那思想永駐的象征，那從一個(gè)時(shí)代向下一時(shí)代傳留的智慧可能會(huì)添加到我們即將滅絕的物種名單上去。Unit 2 The foreign students at New York University come from more than 130 countries.

Disneys artists tried to put life into every drawing . That meant they had to feel all the emotions of the cartoon creatures: happiness, sadness, anger , fear. The artists looked at themselves in a mirror and expressed each emotion: a smile, tears, a red face, wide-opened eyes. Then they drew that look on the face of each cartoon creature. Disneys art of animation reached its highest point in 1940 with the movie Pinocchio. The story is about a wooden toy that comes to life as a little boy. Disneys artists drew two-a-half-million pictures to make Pinocchio. The artists drew flat pictures. Yet they created a look of space and solid objects. Pinocchio was an imaginary world, yet it looked very real.Unit5. 20世紀(jì)，美國夢遇到了挑戰(zhàn)。大蕭條使得二三十年代的生活到處都很艱難，對那些直接受到影響的人們來說，現(xiàn)實(shí)與美國夢幾乎正好相反。種族間的不安定依然存在，在國內(nèi)的一些地方，種族暴力時(shí)有發(fā)生。自從二戰(zhàn)結(jié)束以后，年輕的美國家庭開始追求相對舒適和穩(wěn)定的生活，他們選擇居住在大城市周邊的市郊住宅區(qū)。因此50年代是一個(gè)相對保守的年代，當(dāng)時(shí)，“完美家庭”是很多人心中的美國夢的一部分，或者就是美國夢的結(jié)果本身。但這種保守的生活方式很快就被新一代人所鄙棄，60年代的年輕人用嬉皮士的價(jià)值觀取代了包括美國夢在內(nèi)的傳統(tǒng)價(jià)值觀。雖說對于美國夢的追求在那些年中有所減弱，但美國夢從來就沒有徹底消亡過。Unit6.Summer means internships for thousands of American college students. They work in the kinds of jobs they might want to have some day. Experts say at least one-third of all American college students complete an internship before they graduate. Some students work for large companies. Some work for small organizations. Some work for the United States government. Many interns do not earn money at their summer jobs. Some college students get an internship to gain experience in the kind of job they want to get after graduation. Others do not yet know what kind of permanent job they want. So they may get internships in several different companies or organizations. In this way, they can find out what kind of job they like best. Why are internships so popular? Students can learn about different kinds of jobs. They can do interesting work. They can learn skills and gain valuable experience. And they can meet important people. Students often describe internships as a chance that happens once in a lifetime.Unit7迷信是當(dāng)今英國文化中的一部分。盡管迷信活動(dòng)在100年前更為活躍，但現(xiàn)在仍有不少相信迷信的人，有老人也有年輕人。所有的迷信都有其根源，所謂無火不起煙。是誰第一個(gè)認(rèn)為在屋里打傘會(huì)帶來厄運(yùn)？是誰第一個(gè)走在梯子下而遭遇不幸？是誰把馬蹄鐵倒掛？是誰打碎了鏡子？是誰灑了鹽？是誰第一個(gè)把13號(hào)星期五看成最倒霉的日子？16、17世紀(jì)時(shí)，人們的生活中充滿了碰運(yùn)氣的成分，每天的生活中心都在于揣測未來的禍福。宗教、疾病、火災(zāi)也許稱得上是米線的三大最基本得要素。盡管今天我們看事物的角度已經(jīng)不同，但是迷信作為一種傳統(tǒng)仍然流傳在我們中間。Unit8Millions of people around the world depend on the National Geographic Society for information. Each year, thousands of visitors tour the societys Explorers Hall in central Washington, D.C. Exhibits and modern technology in this museum help them learn about the Earth and its environment.The National Geographic Society produces maps, books, and magazines that are popular among the world.

It helps train teachers in geography. It offers computer users the latest information about the activities of researchers and explorers on its Internet website.Unit9當(dāng)人們提到女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)時(shí)，通常有兩種反應(yīng)：一種認(rèn)為，女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)者不過是一群日子過得不順心的女人；另一種則認(rèn)為，女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)純粹是白人女性的事，與黑人女性無關(guān)。事實(shí)上，黑人女性所受到的剝削遠(yuǎn)比白人女性要深。所以的黑人女性有必要團(tuán)結(jié)起來，共同奮斗去爭取應(yīng)得的權(quán)利，諸如自主權(quán)、同工同酬權(quán)、自由墮胎權(quán)和孩子入托權(quán)。我們應(yīng)當(dāng)看到，黑人女性爭取解放的要求是全人類爭取自由權(quán)利的一部分。黑種男人錯(cuò)誤的以為，白人資本家把一些職位和技術(shù)工作交給黑人女性，是為了羞辱他們?，F(xiàn)實(shí)情況是，人人就業(yè)無法實(shí)現(xiàn)，而黑人女性正式低報(bào)酬和失業(yè)現(xiàn)象的最大受害者。Unit10Most full-time students at American universities must have health insurance. This is because health costs in the United States are high. Colleges are not able to pay the costs if students suffer serious accidents or sickness.Many American colleges have health centers where doctors and nurses treat students medical problems. This service may be included in the cost of attending college. Health insurance is usually needed for extra services.Students may already be protected under their parents health insurance policies. If not, many colleges offer their own insurance plans.Students also can buy independent insurance policies from insurance companies. The details of such policies differ, depending on where the student lives. Usually, these policies pay for doctor visits, treatment of injuries and hospital costs.All in all, people in the Unites States are responsible for their own medical costs. These can be extremely high in cases of serious illness or accidents. The purpose of health insurance is to make sure that these costs will be paid for.Unit11我母親早已不在人世，但她仍時(shí)時(shí)浮現(xiàn)在我心中，有時(shí)早晨天還未亮就把我喚醒?！拔易钭畈荒苋萑痰?，就是半途而廢的人。”我一生不斷聽到她說這句話。此時(shí)此刻，我躺在床上，在黑暗中慢慢醒來，想重回夢鄉(xiāng)而不愿直面嶄新的一天，我感覺到了她正怒氣沖沖地與我體內(nèi)那個(gè)沒有出息的懶漢奮力斗爭。我默默地抗議道：我已經(jīng)不是孩子了。我已經(jīng)小有成就，我有資格睡會(huì)兒懶覺?！傲_素，你一點(diǎn)進(jìn)取心也沒有，和二流子簡直沒什么兩樣?！睆奈疫€是個(gè)穿著短褲的孩提時(shí)代起，她就一直用這些話激勵(lì)我前進(jìn)：“你要混出個(gè)人樣來！”“不要半途而廢！”“要有點(diǎn)志氣，孩子?！盪nit12Study a Balance of the Four Key Skills Most students want to communicate better in English. If this is one of your goals, it is important to study a balance of the four major skills. Listening, Speaking , reading and Writing are the main skills you need to communicate in any language. Being very good at only one of these skills will not help you much to communicate. For example, you need to be able to read well before you can write well. You also need to be in two groups : Input(listening and reading ) and output (speaking and writing).First you have input. Next you have output. First you listen to someone ask you a question. Second you give them your answer. First you read a letter from someone. After that you write back to them. However, input and output dont necessarily go in a specific order. Sometimes you speak first and then you listen. During communication, the person you are communicating with uses one of the opposite skills .Therefore, in order to understand each other , everyone must be skillful in all four areas.
