Sometimes, while a commodity is of inferior quality, the advertisement is full of words lavishing praise on it, if a celebrity shows up as an image agent for such a product, the advertisement could, if any, be temporarily successful before it turns the brand of the product in question notorious and, more disastrously, ruins the reputation of the eminent person thereafter. So, the famous are well advised to think more than twice before they agree to appear on the commercial.

The number of singles has increased dramatically over the recent years. The reasons of remaining single are various:some may be busy exploring careers without putting their marriage into the agenda, some may indulge in their jobs, travel, entertainment, physical fitness or friendship, More than 80% of them have not abandoned the value of marriage, and they say they aspire to marry or they want to be married someday, but they are patient and feel content being single until they meet the right person.Key to Supplementary Readings(略)UNIT THREE Doctors Dilemma:Treat or Let Die?P51 Comprehension Check1-5 BCCBD 6-10 DCDADP53 Vocabulary StudyI 1.outstrip 2.limbo 3.ceased 4. in the wake of 5. paramount 6.ethical 7.prolonged 8. thorny 9.congenital 10.subsequently II 1.euthanasia 2.salvaged 3.deformity 4.defects 5. handicaps 6.lingering 7. grapple 8. allegedly 9.acquitted 10.frontiers III TranslationPeople who are energetic, happy, and relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those who are depressed, nervous, or angry. When the brain is “happy”, it sends messages to our organs that help keep the body healthy and sound. Your chance of developing the common cold, pneumonia, or even cancer may very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a healthy state. In addition, happy and relaxed people are prone to better health practices than their negative and stressed counterparts. They are more likely to get plenty of sleep and to engaged in regular exercise, and have been shown to have lower levels of certain stress hormones.

Since none of us are taught to look at space as isolated from other associations, feelings cued by the handling of space are often attributed to something else. In growing up people learn literarily thousands of spatial cues, all of which have their own meanings in their own contexts.當(dāng)人們到海外旅游時(shí)，如果留心觀察外國(guó)人如何處理空間關(guān)系，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)許多令人驚訝的不同之處；而這些不同之處總讓我們反應(yīng)強(qiáng)烈。因?yàn)閺膩頉]有人教我們要把空間與其它聯(lián)想?yún)^(qū)別開來，所以我們常認(rèn)為空間處理引發(fā)的感覺是出于其它的原因。從小到大。人們要學(xué)會(huì)幾千種空間暗示，所有這些暗示在不同的情境中都有不同的含義。UNIT FIVE Can You Raise a Polite Kid in This Rude World?P94 Comprehension Check1-5 BDADB 6-9 AADBP95 Vocabulary StudyI 1-5 deigj 6-10 hfabcII 1.provocative 2. notional 3. curb 4.devastating 5. appalling 6.perspective 7. counterpart 8. fray 9.defuse 10.frustratedIII TranslationWealth exposed American manners to continuing international scrutiny because it underwrote an expansion of tourism. In the late nineteenth century the American abroad symbolized for some the dangders of sudden wealth and became an instrument to expose comparative social codes and standards of morality. Boasting, vulgarity, obsessive acquisitiveness, and insensitivity were soon associated with this early version of the Ugly American. Representing a small portion of the population, the international travelers seemed to stand for the whole country in the eyes of many foreigners, and it was the prodigality of their wealth, the apparently limitless wallets and purses, that seemed most dangerous. American money threatened to loot the Old World of its historic treasures, and aggressive celebrity hunters and relic gatherers to invade European privacy as well. 財(cái)富使美國(guó)人的行為一直受到國(guó)際上的關(guān)注，因?yàn)樗锹糜螛I(yè)的基礎(chǔ)。19世紀(jì)末，有人認(rèn)為，在海外的美國(guó)人是那些驟增財(cái)富的內(nèi)在危險(xiǎn)的象征，并使他們那并非完美無缺的社會(huì)準(zhǔn)則和道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)面臨腐蝕的危險(xiǎn)。自吹自擂、粗俗魯莽、貪得無厭、麻木不仁很快成了早期的丑陋美國(guó)人的象征。周游列國(guó)的旅行者在全國(guó)人口中雖然只是一小部分，但在許多外國(guó)人眼里，他們好像代表了這個(gè)國(guó)家的所有人。他們揮霍無度，看起來有用之不盡的資產(chǎn)，這是最大的危險(xiǎn)。美鈔大有把舊世界歷史上的奇珍異寶掠之一空之勢(shì)。一群追逐名利和涉獵文物古玩的人無孔不入，極大地?cái)_亂了歐洲人的私生活。UNIT SIX The New American Dreamers P115 Comprehension Check1-5 DEAAC 6-10 DCDAB P117 Vocabulary StudyI outgoing 2.petite 3.emphatically 4.self-possessed 5. quest 6.personable 7. fantasized 8. buy into 9.defer 10.caught up II 1.involved 2. committed 3. figure out 4. convinced 5.affluent 6. tied down 7. quest 8. the end of the rainbow 9.therapeutic 10. formulating III Translation我贊成這樣的理想：人應(yīng)該各方面都很出色，既要有頭腦，也要有健美的體格。我希望能得到某種幸福和快樂。美國(guó)是能得到這些東西的最好的地方，因?yàn)檫@里的人和我們的思想來自世界各地。至今到美國(guó)來尋夢(mèng)的仍然大有人在?，F(xiàn)在我明白了，決定美國(guó)夢(mèng)能否實(shí)現(xiàn)的不是教育、不是機(jī)會(huì)、也不是艱苦的工作，而是權(quán)勢(shì)和恐懼感。你在企業(yè)里爬到的地位越高，你失去的東西就越多。美國(guó)夢(mèng)并沒有破滅。今天在美國(guó)十分流行的想法是：千萬不能失去夢(mèng)想。I agree to this ideal: people should be good in all aspects, It is necessary to have not only the mind, but also magnificent physique. I hope to get some kind of happiness and joy. The United States is the best place to get these things, because the people here and their ideas come from all over the world. So far , here are still many people to seek a dream. Now I know, It is not education, not opportunities, and not hard work, but power and fear that decide whether the American dream can come to be or not. The higher your position is in enterprise, the more you lose something. The American dream is not the end. The idea is very popular in the United States today: never lose ones dream.P126 Key to Supplementary ReadingsA. 1-5 CCBDD 6-8 AAAB. 1-5 FFFTF 6-10 TTTFTUNIT SEVEN A Sons Restless JourneyP143 Comprehension Check1-5 ABDCB 6-8 DAB P144 Vocabulary StudyI 1.carped 2. embodied 3. agonized 4. outright 5. peered 6.mediocre 7. inundated 8. bucked 9. snarling at 10.petered out II 1.obsolete 2.wince 3.grueling 4. whizzed through 5. pretentious 6.squelched 7.mull 8. jaded 9. misgivings 10. sanctuary 11.unfazed 12.posed 13.scoffed 14. misbehaved III TranslationClinton and Bush are different greatly from each other. Clinton attends in person to everything, trival of critical; He can memorize data well just like a computer; He and his advisors never fail to take part in the interminable meeting of politics or economy. On the contrary, Bush dislike a meeting that lasts over 15 minutes, and even loathes being bothered by confusing figures. Clinton has cared very much about public approval presented by polls since his early presidency, where Bush, in a sharp contrast, proclaimed at the outset of his election that he would make all decisions on his own.Clinton is an avid reader, but his successor is not. Joyful, casual and elegant, the ex-president time and again drinks a little, but the new president has been a teetotal since he abstained from it 14 years ago.Bush Jr. was born of a privileged WASP family in Texas, while the former, from an ordinary family, has tempered himself and developed his talents in hardships. He works with his wisdom and eloquence, which his successor is short of.P150 Key to Supplementary ReadingsA.1-5 DCCDB 6-10 ABAABB. 1-5 FTFTF 6-10 FTTFF 11-15 TTFFFUNIT EIGHT Sex Roles P169 Comprehension Check1-5 DCABA 6-10 CCBAD P171 Vocabulary StudyI 1-5 jhgab 6-10 idcfeII 1. aggressive 2. stereotyped 3. inhibit 4. masculine 5.disapproval 6.subsistence 7. speculate 8.perceive 9. socialize 10.prone III Translation令人不安的是，婦女解放似乎是一種讓婦女多干活的“權(quán)利”。一個(gè)獲得解放的職業(yè)婦女比一個(gè)很滿足的媽媽更快樂嗎？如果男人喜歡工作，而女人樂于在家?guī)椭麄兎謸?dān)壓力，這有什么可指責(zé)的呢？我不覺得“平等”受到威脅，這只是理性的勞動(dòng)分工。我相信創(chuàng)造和諧的家庭是婦女的責(zé)任，而成功與否并不全部取決于女性，但她們所起的作用要遠(yuǎn)大于男性。真正的問題不在于男人與女人是不是平等，而在于是什么創(chuàng)造了幸福生活。我們是以什么為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)確定生活是富足的、令人向往的呢？我常常問，為什么事業(yè)上的成功也常常被人們看成生活上同樣是成功的呢?作為一個(gè)女人，如果我在為人妻為人母方面做的很成功，而且對(duì)自己的工作也很滿意，那么我認(rèn)為我的存在就挺不錯(cuò)，并由此而感到知足。或許我們?cè)摪炎⒁饬膵D女身上移開，而去關(guān)注一下男人，男人們不能看著自己的孩子成長(zhǎng)是很難過的。我敢說，很多丈夫若是有不太耗時(shí)的工作而能回家與孩子們玩耍，他們會(huì)更高興。Uncomfortably，Womens liberation seems to be a more work rights。Is a liberated professional woman happier than a very contented mother? If men like to work, and women are willing to help them share the pressure at home，is there anything to be blamed? I dont think that equality is threatened, its only the rational division of labor. I believe that it is womens responsibility to create a harmonious family , and does not all depend on women whether success or not, but they play a far greater role than men. It is not the real problem whether men and women are equal, but is what create a happy life. By what standard, can we determine that life is rich and desirable? I often ask, why the success of career is always regarded as the same in life ? As a woman, if I am a successful wife and a successful mother, and very satisfied with my work, I will think that my existence is not bad, and will feel contented with it. Perhaps, we should give attention from women to men, men will be very sad if they cant see their children grow up. I dare say, many husbands will be more pleased, if they have less time-consuming work and can go home to play with their children.P181 Key to Supplementary ReadingsA.B.1-5 TFFTT 6-9 TFTTUNIT NINE Animal Emotions P193 Comprehension Check 1-5 DADCC 6-10 BBACDP195 Vocabulary StudyI 1. parlance 2. stringent 3. ascribed 4. symposium 5. copious 6. aversion to 7. warrant 8. manipulated 9. garnered 10.lingered II 1. hormones 2. predators 3.elated 4. elicited 5. entail 6. anecdotes 7. controversial 8. legitimize 9. wake 10.dejectedly III Translation Mounting evidence shows that animals also have emotions.
