★startwith以……開始Notesas作連詞，表示“當……的時候”?！皌hatprogramsfearintoourmindsandheart”是定語從句，修飾“thenegativeside”。我們選擇忽視真相是因為害怕知道真相帶來的后果，害怕在自己的生活中做出改變。大多數(shù)人都喜歡安心地待在自己家里，每個角落都擺滿食物，機械地看著電視，（偶爾）用自己的充滿戲劇性的故事和別人的八卦來分散下注意力。我們習慣這樣并沒有錯，因為這已經(jīng)根植到了我們文化當中，錯就錯在明明知道真相而不去改變。PartⅡWechoosetobeignorant4becauseweareafraidofwhatthetruthwillbringandweareafraidthatwewillhavetomakechangesinourownlives.Mostofuseasilyliveinthecomfortofourownhomesmindlesslywatchingtelevisionwithalotoffoodoneverycorneranddistracting5ourselveswithourowndramaorthegossiping6overothers.Itisnotourfaultthatwehavecometothisbecauseithasbeeninstilled7withinourculture.Weareonlytoblamewhenweknowthetruthandtakenoactiontochange.TextAIntensiveReading1(2)★distract/d??str?kt/vt.totakesb.’sattentionawayfromwhattheyaretryingtodo轉移（注意力）；分散（思想）；使分心~sb./sth.fromsth.e.g.You’redistractingmefrommywork.你使我不能專心工作?！飀istracting/d?‘str?kt??/adj.使（人）分心的，分散（注意力）的e.g.It’sdistractingtohavesomeonewatchingmewhileIwork.我工作的時候要是有人看著就會分心?！皐atchingtelevision…”“distractingourselves…”是動詞的現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語，表示狀態(tài)；“withalotoffoodoneverycorner”和“withourowndramaor…”表伴隨。
