Unit 1 Love of Reading我的祖母不识字，可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。小时候我总是缠着她，要她给我讲故事。而她在忙完家务后，总会把我抱在膝上，一边讲故事一边有节奏地晃动我。我父母发现了我对故事的浓厚兴趣，不失时机地引导我进行阅读。他们给我买了许多带插图的故事书，有空的时候就一遍遍地读给我听。慢慢地我认识了很多字，能自行阅读了。Although my grandmother was illiterate, she had a good stack of myths and legends. When I was young I gave her no peace, constantly asking her to tell me stories. After she had finished her housework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories, all the while rocking me in rhythm. Having noticed my interest in stories, my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading. They bought many storybooks with illustrations, and whenever free, they would read these stories to me over and over again. By and by I had a vocabulary large to read on my own .Unit 2 Diet一项又一项的研究发现，食物和一些慢性病之间有密切关系。例如：某些慢性病危险的降低和多吃以食物为基本成分的食物是相关联的。因此，在过去的十年中，美国饮食协会敦促美国人减少动物脂肪的摄取，增加水果、蔬菜和谷物的消费。同时，美国农业部发布了包括食物指导金字塔在内的文件，鼓励人们每天至少吃三道蔬菜和两份水果。但是许多美国人还是没有按照这些建议去做。 Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases. For example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods. Therefore, in the past, the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats, and to boost consumption of fruits, vegetable, and grains. Meanwhile, the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid which encourages a minimum of 3 vegetables and 2 fruit servings per day. However, many Americans still dont meet/listen to these recommendations. Unit 3 Lying我们大学的新任校长不赞成在某些情况下容许说慌的看法。他要求校内所有的教师和学生诚实行事，永不说谎。他认为一旦人们习惯于说任何一类的谎言，他们就会纵容自己，最终无法摆脱说谎恶习。是否讲谎话有时会成为棘手的难题，但是我们的校长坚持认为在教育青年人的过程中，所有教育界的人士都不得逃避将诚实放在首位的责任。我同意他的看法。你的意见呢？ The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances. He calls on all the teachers and students of the university to conduct themselves with honesty and never tell lies. He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit. To tell or not to tell a lie can sometimes become a very sticky issue, but our president is adamant that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young. I agree with him, What about you?Unit 4 unforgettable teachers 在注册上数学202这门课时，我就与料到会有困难，因为我在高中读书是数学不好，。这门课是由理查森教授讲授的，他是一位典型的老派的先生，对学生非常热情友好。然而，在学术问题上他一点儿也不马虎。在正式授课之前，他热情洋溢地阐述了他有条不紊的工作、课前做好充分的准备和不满足于所学知识的重要性。他的工作态度具有很强的感染力，渐渐地，我也爱上了数学。When I enrolled in Math 202, I anticipated difficulties because I was not well grounded in mathematics in high school. The course was taught by Professor Richardson, a fine specimen of an old-fashioned gentleman, formally dressed, soft spoken, and cordial to his students. However, when it comes to academic matters, he was by no means an easy person. Before he started his lecture, he discoursed enthusiastically on the importance of working in an orderly fashion, of being thoroughly prepared before each class, of being steadfast in ones efforts, and of not being content with what you have learned. There was no doubt that teaching math was something sacred to him. His attitude towards work was infectious, and by and by I became an ardent math lover, too.Unit 5 Global Warning 多数科学家不再怀疑世界正在变暖，也不再怀疑是人类改变了气候。他们认为全球气候变暖对这个星球及其居住者的长期影响将是灾难性的。而且，气候变化不会平稳过渡到一个较为暖和的世界。一些地区将受到气候急剧变化的严重影响。人口密集的大地区如佛罗里达沿海地带将无法居住。千百王居民将不得不迁移到安全地区。因此，全球变暖出现在世界领袖们的议事日程上也就不足为奇了。Most scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change wont be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, there is no surprise that global warming has made it way onto the agenda of world leaders. Unit 6 The American Civil War1807年，罗伯特.李出生在弗吉尼亚州的一个颇有地位的家庭。他的父亲不仅是乔治华盛顿的私人朋友，还担任过三届弗吉尼亚州的州长。不幸的是，他父亲的生活一直为投资不当所困扰，他两次因欠债不还而入狱，最终被迫逃离美国。李的母亲对立的个性影响最大。面对丈夫那让人痛心的失败，她决心不让这个悲剧在孩子身上重演。她将美德灌输给李，如自制力、责任心以及不屈不饶的精神。1825年，怀着挽回家族荣誉的强烈愿望，李开始了在西点军校的学习。这是他生活中的一个新篇章。四年里，他们门功课名列前茅。Robert E. Lee was born into a distinguished Virginia family in 1807. Not only was lees father a personal friend of George Washington, but he served three terms as governor of Virginia. Unfortunately, his fathers life had been plagued by poor financial investment. He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced flee the country. Lees mother was the dominant force in shaping Lees personality. Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children. Self-control, tenacity, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a mew chapter of his life. Over the four years, his strictly adhered to the academys code of conduct and consistently finished near the top of every course.Unit 8 Marriage 亨利，一个看上去体质虚弱的五十岁男子，比他那体魄强健的妻子玛丽年长二十岁。他就都认为他会死在他妻子的前面。所以，当亨利一个星期没有上班之后穿着丧服来到办公室并告诉我们说他的爱妻突然意想不到地去世了的时候，你可以想象我们是多么的吃惊。没有一个人，包括亨利自己在内，预见到事情结果竟会是这个样子。这一悲剧使亨利心中充满了悲哀。好几个星期，他都非常痛苦，人的样子也全变了。他甚至想到天堂与妻子重新团聚是不是会更好。虽然我们每个人都表示了极大的同情，但考虑到他一家人的安宁和隐私，我们都认为在这个时候如果没有受到邀请而去打扰他们是不合适的。 Henry, a frail-looking man of fifty, was older than his robust wife Mary by 20 years. Everyone assumed that she would outlive him. So you can imagine
