language language learners are similar in many ways.02:17.22成功的语言学习者许多方面是相似的。02:20.04First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.02:23.07首先，成功的语言学习者是独立的学习者。02:26.10They do not depend on the book or the teacher;02:28.34他们不依赖书本或老师；02:30.57they discover their own way to learn the language.02:32.75他们找到自己学外语的方法。02:34.93Instead of waiting for the teacher to

accept information that is inexact or incomplete.03:42.64他们能够接受不准确或不完整的信息。03:45.12It is more important for them03:46.95于他们来说，03:48.78to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.03:51.81用外语思维比了解每个词的意思更为重要。03:54.84finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.03:57.68最后，成功的语言学习者是目的明确的学习者。04:00.51They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language04:03.38他们是因为对外语和说外语的人04:06.26and the people who speak it .04:07.84感兴趣才学外语的。04:09.42It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people04:12.45他们认为有必要学习外语以便04:15.48and to learn from them.04:17.01能与说外语的人交流并向他们学习。04:18.53They find it easy to practice using the language regularly04:20.87所以他们感到经常练习说外语并不难。04:23.21because they want to learn with it.04:24.99因为他们想利用外语学习新东西，04:26.76What kind of language learner are you?04:28.59你是哪一种语言学习者呢？04:30.42If you are a successful language learner,04:32.34你若是一名成功的语言学习者，04:34.26you have probably been learning independently,04:36.55你大概一直在独立地、04:38.83actively,and purposefully.04:40.66主动地、目的明确地学习。04:42.49On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,04:45.31反之，如果你的外语学得一直不太成功，04:48.13you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.04:50.72你不妨试试上面概括的一些技巧。04:53.30Text B04:54.92课文 B04:56.54Language04:58.12语言04:59.70when we want to tell other people what we think,05:02.22当我们要把自己的想法告诉别人时，05:04.74we can do it not only with the help of words,but also in many other ways.05:08.83我们不仅可以借助于词语，还可用许多其它方法。05:12.92For instance,We sometimes move our heads up and down when we want to say yes05:16.94比方说，我们想说“是”的时候通常点点头；05:20.97and we move our heads from side to side when we want to sayno05:24.21而想说“不”的时候就摇摇头。05:27.44People who can neither hear nor speak (that is,deaf and dumb people)05:31.42那些既听不见也不能说的人（即聋哑人）05:35.39talk to each other with the help of their fingers.05:38.12则用手势相互交谈。05:40.85People who do not understand each others language have to do the same.05:44.63人们彼此语言不通时也这么做。05:48.42The following story shows how they sometimes do it.05:51.35下面的故事就表现他们有时是这么做的。05:54.27An Englishman who could not speak Italian was once traveling in Italy.05:57.96有一次，一位不会说意大利语的英国人曾在意大利旅行。06:01.64One day he entered a restaurant and sat down at a table.06:05.18一天他走进一家钣店并坐在一张桌旁。06:08.72When the waiter came,the Englishman opened his mouth,06:11.75当侍者走过来时，这位英国人张开嘴，06:14.78put his fingers in it,took them out again and moved his lips.06:18.66把手指放在嘴里，又拿了出来，并动了动嘴唇。06:22.54In this way he meant to say, Bring me something to eat.06:26.22他想以此说，“给我拿点吃的来。”06:29.90The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea.06:32.63侍者很快给他端来一杯茶。06:35.36The Englishman shook his head and the waiter understood that he didnt want tea,06:39.75这位英国人摇摇头，侍者明白了他并不想要茶。06:44.14so he took it away and brought him rome coffee.06:46.92于是他把茶端走又给他端来了咖啡。06:49.70The Englishman,who was very hungry by this time and not at all thirsty,06:53.53这位英国人这时已非常锇但一点也不渴，06:57.36looked very sad.06:59.40所以他看上去很不高兴。07:01.43He shook his head each time the waiter brought him something to drink.07:04.92侍者每次给他端来喝的东西时，他都摇摇头。07:08.41The waiter brought him wine,then beer,07:11.53侍者给他端来了葡萄酒，接着是啤酒，07:14.65 then soda-water,but that wasnt food,of course.07:17.83然后是苏打水，可这些当然都不是吃的。07:21.00He was just going to leave the restaurant when another traveler came in.07:24.79他正要离开时，另一位旅客进来了。07:28.57When this man saw the waiter,he put his hands on his stomach.07:32.21这个人看到了侍者就把双手放到肚子上。07:35.84That was enough: in a few minutes07:38.71这就足够了：几分钟之后07:41.58there was a large plate of macaroni and meat on the table before him.07:45.32一大盘通心粉和肉就摆在了他面前。07:49.05As you see,the primitive language of signs is not always very clear.07:53.59可见，这种原始的确良手势语言不总是非常明确的。07:58.12The language of words is much more exact.08:01.35词语的语言要准确得多。08:04.57Words consist of sounds,08:07.21词语由声音组成08:09.85but there are many sounds which have a meaning and yet are not words.08:13.68然而有许多声音虽有一定的意义却不是词语。08:17.50For example,we may say Sh-sh-sh when we mean keep silent.08:21.58例如，我们想说“保持安静”时就会说“嘘嘘嘘”。08:25.65When babies laugh,we know they are happy,08:28.49当婴儿笑时，我们知道他们很高兴。08:31.32and when they cry,we know they are iii or simply want something.08:34.59当他们哭时，我们知道他们病了或只是想要某个东西。08:37.85It is the same with animals.08:40.35动物也是这样。08:42.84When a dog says G-r-r or a cat says F-f-f we know they are angry.08:47.41当一条狗发出，“Grr”的声音或一只猫发出“Fff”的声音时，我们知道它们生气了。08:51.98But these sounds are not language.08:54.66但是这些声音不是语言。08:57.34Language consists of words which we put together into sentences.09:01.06语言是由我们用于组成句子的词语组成的。09:04.78But animals can not do this:a dog can say G-r-r when he means I am angry,09:08.96可是动物不会这么做么：狗想说“我生气了”时会叫“Grr”，09:13.14but he cannot say first I and then am and then angry.09:17.41但它不能说“我”，然后说“生气”，然后说“了”。09:21.68A parrot can talk like a man;09:23.87鹦鹉可以像人一样说话；09:26.05it can repeat whole sentences and knows what they mean.09:29.38它可以重复整句话，也知道这句话意思。09:32.71We may say that a parrot talks,but cannot say that it really speaks,09:36.84我们可以说鹦鹉学舌，但我们不能说它真正会说话，09:40.96because it cannot form new sentences out of the words it knows.09:44.93因为它不能用所知道的词语组成新的句子。09:48.90Only man has the power to do this.09:51.48只有人才有这种能力。00:00.00喜欢，就把复制到QQ个人资料中！Unit 2 Text A00:02.39第二单元 课文A00:04.78Taxes,Taxes,and More

States:00:52.35在美国，政府大致分三级：00:55.93federal,state,and city; there fore,there are three types of taxes.01:00.06联邦政府、州政府和市政府；因此美国有三类税。01:04.18Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars01:07.11收入数千美元的工薪人员01:10.03must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government.01:13.72必须按工资的一定比例向联邦政府交税。01:17.40The percentage varies from person to

to 70 percent)01:36.65一般为14%70%。01:40.44increases as a persons income increases.01:43.31即纳税比例随个人收入的增加01:46.19With the high cost of taxes,01:48.77由于赋税很重，01:51.36people are not very happy on April 15,when the federal taxes are due.01:55.24每年4月台票15日人们便不高兴，因为这一天是缴纳联邦税的日子。01:59.12The second tax is for the state government:02:01.69第二类税是州政府税，02:04.26New York,California,North Dakota,or any of the

state.02:35.56也就是对你在该州购买的任何商品征收一定比例的税。02:39.19For example,02:40.72比如，02:42.25a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty-five cents.02:45.88某人想要习25美分一包的香烟。02:49.51If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state,02:53.19如果该州的销售税率为8%，02:56.88then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty-seven cents.03:00.21那么买一包香烟实际要支付27美分。03:03.54This figure includes the sales tax.03:06.3627美分中包括了销售税。03:09.18Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues.03:13.36还有些州为了增加收入，既征收销售税又征收个人所得税。03:17.54The state tax laws are diverse and confusing.03:20.57各州的税收法很不一样，非常混乱。03:23.60The third tax is for the city.03:25.92第三类税是市政府税。03:28.25This tax comes in two forms:03:30.73市政府税分两种：03:33.21property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it)03:37.23财产税（例如拥有房产的人应缴纳房产税）03:41.26and excise tax,which is charged on cms in a city.03:45.03和执照税（例如对城市里的汽车所征收的税）。03:48.81The cities use these funds for education,police and fire departments,03:52.67城市将这些资金用于教育、公安和消防部门03:56.54public works and municipal buildings.03:59.22以及市征工程和建筑。04:01.89Since Americans pay such high taxes,04:04.68由于赋税重，04:07.46they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes.04:11.53美国人常常感到一个星期里有一天的时间是为了纳税而工作的。04:15.61People always complain about taxes.04:18.13人们对征税总是怨声载道，04:20.65They often protest that the government uses
