The intangible quality of image-building does not permit you to grasp anything concrete on a day-to-day basis, but in the long run, tangible results will definitely be evident. If you are one of those people who is overly concerned about the intangible quality of image-building, let me remind you that many of the products and services you are very familiar with are also intangible. Yet their value is evident. For example, a successful salesman who sells a product such as insurance, education, securities, or mutual funds knows how to create need, even though the prospect cant actually see or touch what he is buying. Consequently, you must realize that knowing how to get results is whats really important. By now you should understand enough about winning images to learn how to build one. Youll soon discover that you can accomplish outstanding results if you know what you want and how to get it. Once you reach this point, you must establish obtainable goals and then commit yourself to achieving them. Perhaps my own experience in building a winning image will help you to relate to the process. Please keep in mind that when my father and I started our business fifteen years ago, we hand very limited capital, and we were selling an intangible product. And even though we now have a winning image from coast to coast, we never spent any money on advertising ( I firmly believe “it paid to advertise,” but in our particular case we chose not to). Today, our company, Shook Associates Corporations, is considered one of the finest professional sales organizations in our industry.Unit 2 There have been major changes in attitudes toward courtship and marriage among those middle-class, educated Americans who are celebrated in the media as style setters for American life. Courtship was once a regular part of American life; it was a long period, sometimes lasting for many years, and also a tentative one, during which a future husband or wife could still turn back but during which their relationship became more and more exclusive and socially recognized. Courtship both preceded the announcement of an engagement and followed it, although a broken engagement was so serious that it could be expected to throw the girl into a depression from which she might never recover. There were definite rules governing the courtship period, from the “bundling” permitted in early New England days, when young couples slept side by side with all their clothes on, to strict etiquette that prescribed what sort of gifts a man might give his fiance in circles where expensive presents were customary. Gifts had to be either immediately consumable, like candy or flowers, or indestructible, like diamondswhich could be given back, their value unimpaired, if there was a rift in the relationship. Objects that could be damaged by use like gloves and furs, were forbidden. A gentleman might call for a lady in a cab or in his own equipage, but it was regarded as inappropriate for him to pay for her train fare if they went on a journey.英译汉一、An ecosystem is a group of animals and plants living in a specific region and interacting with one another and with their physical environment. Ecosystems include physical and chemical components, such as soils, water, and nutrients that support the organisms living there. These organisms may range form large animals to microscopic bacteria. Ecosystem also can be thought of as the interactions among all organisms in a given area; for instance, one species may serve as food for another. People are part of the ecosystems where they live and work. Human activities can harm or destroy local ecosystems unless actions such as land development for housing or businesses are carefully planned to conserve and sustain the ecology of the area. 答：生态系统是指共同生活在一个特定区域内的动植物之间以及这些动植物与其生存环境 之间相互作用而形成的一个整体。生态系统包括物理和化学元素，诸如：土壤，水分，以及维持生物生存的营养物质。生物可以是大型的动物，也可以是微型生物。生态系统也可以被看作是在特定区域内所有生物的相互作用，比如说一种生物可能是另一种生物的食物。人类 也是他们生活工作所处的生态系统的一个组成部分。除非人类在为住房或商业需求进行土地 开发这些活动做好精心计划以保护和维持这一地区的生态环境，否则这些人类活动就会对当 地的生态系统造成破坏。 二、Over the years, we tend to think that nuclear technologies and the necessary knowhow to ensure nuclear safety have been developed to a level that possibilities for any major nuclear accidents are almost nonexistent and if it does happen, it will be controlled in the capable hands of nuclear engineers. However, reality has proved again that you just cant be too careful to handle nuclear energy. We dont know for sure yet what will be left behind Japans nuclear crisis, but it will be certain that it is time to reexamine our nuclear practices and many more efforts need to be made to ensure nuclear safety in the future. 答：这些年来，我们习惯性地认为原子能技术和必要的实践经验已经足以保证核安全。一切重大的核事故几乎都不存在，哪怕其真的发生，也会被有能力的核工程师们控制影响。然而，事实再一次证明处理核能源再小心都不为过。我们还不确定日本的核灾难会留下什么影响，但现在一定是我们重新审查原子能实践的时候了。为确保将来的核安全，我们还需付出很多努力。汉译英一、全球化作为一种新的经济和社会发展趋势，给中国带来了机遇，也带来了挑战。一方面， 中国正成为世界制造业中心并在国际舞台上发挥着日益重要的作用；另一方面，我们也面临 着如何在全球化进程中既要发展经济，又能传承优秀文化传统的问题。 答：As a new economic and social treads, globalization has brought China opportunities and challenges as well.

Now, a study says it can also spread. A friend of a lonely person was 52% more likely to develop feelings of loneliness. And a friend of that friend was 25% more likely to do the same. Earlier findings showed that happiness, fatness and the ability to stop smoking can also grow like infections within social groups. The findings all come from a major health study in the American town of Framingham, Massachusetts. The study began in 1948 to investigate the causes of heart disease. Since then, more tests have been added, including measures of loneliness and depression. The new findings involved more than 5,000 people in the second generation of the Framingham Heart Study. The researchers examined friendship histories and reports of loneliness. The results established a pattern that spread as people reported fewer close friends. For example, loneliness can affect relationships between next-door neighbors. The loneliness spreads as neighbors who were close friends now spend less time together. The study also found that loneliness spreads more easily among women than men. Researchers from the University of Chicago, Harvard and the University of California, San Diego, did the study .The findings appeared last month in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The average person is said to experience feelings of loneliness about 48 days a year. The study found that having a lonely friend can add about 17 days. But every additional friend can decrease loneliness by about 5%,or two and a half days. Lonely people become less and less trusting of others .This makes it more and more difficult for them to make friends-and more likely that society will reject them. John Cacioppo at he University of Chicago led the study .He says it is important to recognize and deal with loneliness. He says people who have been pushed to the edges of society should receive help to repair their social networks. The aim should be to aggressively create what he calls a “protective barrier” against loneliness. This barrier, he says, can keep the whole network from coming apart. (B) 31. Besides loneliness, which of the following can also spread among people? A. Friendship B. Happiness C. Depression D. Smoking (A) 32.

California approves traditional textbooks in six-year cycles. Digital one can offer the latest information. They lighten the load of school bags. They save paper and trees, and make learning more fun and interactive .And above all, he said, they help schools with their finances. The state has had to make severe cuts in school spending because of deep financial problems. More than six million students attend California public schools. Earlier this year, California invited content developers to offer digital math and science materials for high schools. These had to meet at least 90% of the states learning requirements. Specially trained teachers examined 16 textbooks and approved ten of them. Six of the ten were published by the CK12 Foundation, a nonprofit group that had been developing digital science and math books for about two years. The foundation paid teachers and other education professionals to write and edit them. The money came from a group financed by the Khosla Family. California cannot require schools to use the digital textbooks. Individual school districts will have to decide for themselves. Susan Martimo, a California Department of Education official, says she does not expect widespread use right away. Her best guess is that some schools with a lot of technology will be the first to use them, but only in addition to their traditional books. School administrators point out that the texts may be free online, but students need a way to access them. Not everyone has a computer or electronic reader. Schools could print out copies, but that would not help the environment. Also, there is the cost to train teachers to use digital textbooks effectively. (D) 37. The Digital Textbook Initiative _ A. will probably take effect in six years B. covers all the high school subjects C. has been approved by all states D. is advocated by California state governor (A) 38. The main reason for promoting digital textbooks is to _ A. help save money B. benefit the environment C. provide interesting materials D. reduce students heavy burden (A) 39. The digital textbooks were approved by _ A. trained teachers B. content developers C. Khosla Family D. CK12 Foundation (B) 40. What is true of CK12 Foundation? A. It produced 16 digital textbooks B. It paid teachers to write digital textbooks. C. It is financed by California state government. D. It makes money through developin
