You may find yourself facing a whole new set of expectations about the proper way to behave. Go out to dine with your new friends and you may find yourself having to adopt a whole new set of table manners. Then there is the problem of who is responsible for paying for the meal. This may not be immediately apparent. In some cultures friends share the cost equally at the end of the meal, in others the preference is for friends to take turns,repaying one meal with another at a later date. Working out the details of local customs like these may take time, but, in my view , it is well worth the effort if you want to avoid misunderstandings.3.opponent artificial crack accelerate intellectual tackle adjust Breakthrough put. to the test construct tournament get the better ofThose who champion(为而奋斗)the cause of artificial intelligence are celebrating a(n) break through.For computer scientists have managed crack the problem of how to construct a computer that can play the ancient game of Go better than the humans. In tournaments with grand masters the computer has got the better of them, defeating one opponent after another. Some welcome the greater power of computers, arguing they will be willing slaves in helping us tackle our problems.Others, like the great scientist Stephen Hawking, fear computers may tackle our problems.Others,like the great scientist Stephen Hawking,fear computers may eventually become independent of us and bring the reign of human beings to an end.4.chemical nevertheless settlement inadequate in violation of court draft stagger nightmare deny accuse . of represent responsible dispose of My name is Wilbur Tennant and Im a farmer. You cant imagine what a terrible nightmare I have had to live through. It all started when I discovered my cows staggering all over the place. And then they began dying. Well, I thought I knew who was responsible: Dupont, the chemical company. It was disposing of poisonous waste near a river that runs through my farm. Nevertheless,the company denied it and claimed it was all my fault! It was not until I was lucky enough to get a top lawyer to represent me that I had any success. He took the company to court and eventually I was able to reach a(n) settlement with Dupont for a large sum of money. As what it had done was clearly in violation of the law, Dupont also found itself in trouble with the Environmental Protection Agency.5.dramatic lay low acquire pass through recall step up neighborhood hang around move outCan you recall a time when the area where you live was very different from what it is today?Given the dramatic changes that China has passed through in recent years, that would not be surprising. Whole neighborhoods have been transformed. New construction has meant that the housing stock has improved in size and quality. As a result of redevelopment many people have been able to move out of old housing into new accommodation that offers better amenities, boosting their standard of living. This is naturally to be welcomed, but the change has not been without some costs. As whole areas of traditional low-rise housing have been laid low to make, way for high-rise apartments, opportunities for neighbors to casually hang around with each other have frequently declined. 6.most of the time leadership attribute come up with as opposed to like hill care about have ones eye(s) onThose in charge of organizations naturally want to recruit the best candidates. But just what attributes are managers looking for in a potential employee? What do they set out to assess in an interview? One thing is the capacity to quickly come up with answers when confronted with problems, the ability to think up solutions on the fly. Another is the ability to combine self-confidence with a degree of humility that will enable you to take advice gladly and learn from your mistakes. If you are applying for a post because you are unhappy with your current employer, beware of saying negative things about them. Focus on the positive things the future has to offer, as opposed to the negative aspects of your present situation. In a(n) increasingly competitive market you need to convince the interviewer that you have the ability and enthusiasm to do the job well and the capacity to work like hell when the need arises. 7.brilliant conclusion intense hypothesis intrigue nominateobject to stir instrument likely suspect I suspect that by now you know all about Marie Curie. You have,after all, been bombarded with facts about her. You will have read all about the brilliant work that led to her being awarded the most prestigious of scientific prizes, But why is it that So few women have been nominated for a Nobel Prize in science? It is an intriguing question and one that has led to intense debate, stirring up emotions, with strong views being expressed on whether nature or nurture plays the dominant role. The debate has generated numerous hypotheses, but arriving at a conclusion that satisfies everyone would prove difficult.8.concise negative harsh dump tone evolve mood evolution disaster economic communicate kill of sharpen up filter into Has the evolution of technology been a disaster for the way we communicate with one another? Some people certainly fear that the development of computers and smartphones has had a(n) negative effect on language. But such an assessment is probably too harsh. For language inevitably evolves to take advantage of new methods of communication. Rather than limiting our ability to communicate by killing off language such changes often offer fresh ways for us to sharpen up our communication skills. Emoticons and emojis, for example, may not be appropriate where a more formal tone is required, but in informal contexts they offer a concise way of expressing our mood.英译汉1.emotional paperwork book sighting excursion employment capture solo browse visa fill out follow ones heart make friends(with sb.) stress out save up prior to kind of 如果你准备充分，你的出国打工假期能成为最有益的经历之一。以下是一些小建议。 首先，你需要通过浏览相关(relevant)网站来明智地选择目的地。然后，尽早地填写所需要的文件、申请签证、预订机票。出发前努力学习新的职业技能，这能让你在国外有更多的工作选择，帮助你积攒足够的钱去旅游。到国外的最初几个星期里，人们经常会感到焦虑不安或者有点困惑，所以你要对这种情绪上的压力有所准备。同当地人交朋友，而不是单独冒险。尽可能多地出去观光旅游，并用文字记录或拍下你去过的地方。最后点是跟着感觉走， 做自己真心想做的事。If you are fully prepared, your working holiday abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever have.

Try to learn some new job skills prior to your departure, which can give you more employment options abroad and help you save up enough money for travel. Within weeks of arriving in a foreign country,people often feel stressed out or kind of confused, so be prepared for the emotional stress. Make friends with local people instead of taking the adventure solo. And whenever possible, go on sightseeing excursions and capture the places you visit in words or pictures. Last,always follow your heart and do what you truly want to do.2.apparent household primary aspect kindness relieve . of burdenleave behind repay devotion parenting responsibility help out在中国，当上爷爷奶奶是件大事。中国的爷爷奶为照顾第三代尽心尽力是人所共知的。而这却是父母和成年子女之间矛盾的重要起因，因为两代人在生活方式、育儿理念等方面有显而易见的差异。你可以指望你的父母帮你做家务、替你带孩子，以此减轻你为人家长的负担，但要知道，你也常常不得不放弃自己的育儿理念。与此同时，做子女的不能理所当然地享受父母的好意，在你竭力平衡家庭与工作的时候父母伸出援手，那么在父母年纪大的时候你当然也要加以回报，照顾他们。To be a grandparent is a big deal in China. Chinese grandparents are widely known for their devotion to the responsibilities of taking care of the third generation, This, however, is a primary cause of the conflict between parents and their adult children, for there exist apparent differences in a aspects like lifestyle and parenting approaches between the two generations. You can expect parents to help you manage your household and take on childcare duties, thus relieving you of your burden as a parent, but you must know, very often, you have to leave your own parenting ideas behind. Meanwhile, the adult child simply cant take the kindness of his/her parents for granted, As your parents helped you out when you struggled to balance family and career, you are certainly expected to repay their kindness by taking care of them when they get old.3.artificial accelerate adjust champion construct flexible imagination intelligence intuition invent opponent process select strategy tackle top tournament raw我是名赛车设计师。这几年我对建造带人工智能的赛车很感兴趣。在我的想象中，我要发明的新车将通过接像机和传感器收集原始数据，并具有强大的数据处理能力。它能灵活地适应环境、决定何时加速或减速。你知道费车手在选择策略时往往依靠直觉，可直觉在人紧张(tense)的时候就不灵了。人工智能从来不会紧张，所以更安全。一且我攻克了设计中的难题，我将造一辆新赛车井带上它参加锦标赛。我希望它能战胜所有对手，夺得冠军称号。I am a race car designer. In recent years I have been greatly interested in constructing a race car with artificial intelligence. In my imagination, the race car Im going to invent will collect raw data through video cameras and sensors.It will have strong data processing abilities. It can adjust to the environment, deciding when ta accelerate or slow down in a flexible manner. You know, race car drivers always rely on intuition when selecting strategies, but intuition may fail if the person is tense. Artificial intelligence never feels tense, so it is safer. Once Ive tackled the challenging problems in design, I will- build a new race car and take it to a tournament.I hope it will top all opponents and become a champion.4.substance recommendation purchase document hunt(for) reference chemical1天， 有人给我一项任务，让我翻译一个文件。 这是一份若干化学物质的研究报告，我对这些化学物质无所知。开始我认为我干不了这活。但我的教授鼓励我接下来。经他推荐，我买了两本字典。然后我就在互联网上搜寻参考资料。我熟悉了这个题材后才动手翻译。这样，最初看来不可能完成的任务最终却变得相当容易。One day, I was given the task of translating a document. It was a study of some chemical substances which I knew nothing about. At first I didnt think I could do it. But my professor encouraged me to take the job. Upon his recommendation, I purchased two dictionaries. Then, I hunted on the Internet for references. I didnt start the translation until after I became familiar with the subject. Thus, what seemed an impossible task at first became fairly easy in the end.5.boost scatter dramatic stock host make history neighborhood move intoobvious pass through recall play a role in routine自从1978年12月改革开放以来中国经历了巨大变革。208年中国首次成功主办奥运会，创造了历史，更是大提开了全国人民的民族自豪感。现代化的进是对很多人的日常生活的改变起了重要作用，我所在的街坊是个明的例子。 我还记得过去无点日常用品要过好几条街巷，现在城那哪儿都有杂货店和便料店。且物品富。以前我们多数人住在没有卫生间的旧房子里。而今，许许多多家庭微进新的现代化的公寓楼。有好多这样的事可说，这里我只是提及一罢了。The reform and opening up since December 1978 has brought about a dramatic change in China. In 2008, China made history by successfully hosting the Olympic Games for the first time, which greatly boosted national pride. Modernization has played an important role in changing everyday routines for many people. My neighborhood is an obvious example. I can still recall how I had to pass through several streets and alleys for daily necessities, whereas today groceries and convenience stores, all fully stocked, are scattered all over the city. In the past we mostly lived in old houses without bathrooms. Today lots of families have moved into modern apartment buildings. There are many more things to be said; here I have mentioned just a few.6.most of the time as opposed to leadership like hell attribute care about come up with have ones eye(s) on雇主在招聘时会在求职者身上找寻一一些特质。 第一是领导能力。最高效的公司要招有发展前途的人，而不是缺少进取精神(the spirit of enterprise)的人。他们希望每个人都有进步的空间，并且最终能组建自己的常胜之队。第二是抱负。有抱负的员工多数时候接受挑战，并且能克服困难。为了更好的解决方案，他们拼命工作，从而使公司更具竞争力。第三是创造力。最成功的公司因为创新和对现状的持续改进而蓬勃发展。这些公司寻找的人不仅能自主工作，还能想出新办法完成老任务。最后是激情，尽管所有雇员都在乎薪水，最受雇主欢迎的却是那些热爱工作如同热爱报酬的员工。When recruiting, there are certain attributes that employers look for in job applicants. First is leadership. The most efficient organizations have their eyes on those who have development potential as opposed to those who lack the spirit of enterprise. They want each individual to have room to progress, and, in time, be able to create their own winning teams. Second is ambition.Ambitious employees are those who, most of the time, embrace challenges and are able to overcome obstacles. They work like hell towards better solutions, thus making the organization more competitive.Third is creativeness. The most successful companies thrive because of innovation and a consistent improvement on their current situation, They are looking for those who can not only work autonomously, but also come up with fresh ways to complete old tasks. Last is passion. Although all employees care about salary, the most sought- after are the ones who enjoy work as much as reward.7.a great/large amount of contribution award grant be bombarded with instrument brilliant likely by the end of suspect你听说过我们大学的史密斯教授吗?他在自然杂志上发表了一篇论文，声称他发现了一种可以用于治疗艾滋病的新方法，并说他的方法比现有技术更简便、更有效。论文刊登后，学校非常重视，给了他大量的研究经费，让他购买更高级的仪器。媒体采访接踵而来，让史密斯教授应接不暇，大概是因为记者们认为史密斯教授对医学的贡献巨大，未来可能获得诺贝尔奖。然而，也有其他科学家怀疑这位媒体眼中的天才科学家撒了谎。他们声称，按照史密斯教授在论文上披露的实验方法做完实验后，达不到他声称的那样的结果。史密斯教授反驳说，这些同行们的实验和观测有误。到底谁对，我们拭目以待。Have you heard about Prof. Smith from our university? He published a paper in Nature, claiming that he had discovered a new method that could be used in treating AIDS, and that his method was simpler and more effective than current technology. Our university thought highly of his paper, giving him a great amount of money in the form of a research grant so that he could buy more advanced instruments. Prof. Smith has been bombarded with media interviews, likely because reporters believe that he might be awarded the Nobel Prize for his contribution to medicine. However,some scientists suspect that the professor, brilliant according to the media, might have lied. They claim that by the end of their own experiments, following the method revealed in Prof. Smiths paper, they couldnt produce the same results as he had claimed. Prof.Smith has reacted by saying these colleagues made mistakes in their experiments and observations.

To get their message across and avoid misunderstanding, people also use qualifying emoticons to clarify tones or moods, The economic forms used in digital communication are creeping into our spoken language. Some people respond to the change with negative and even harsh comments. They think this type of change is a disaster and the Internet is killing off our language.
