1、Unit 1 When you fall in love for the first time, its a very serious moment in your life. When people refer _ early romantic feelings with such terms as “puppy love” or “having a crush”, they havent simply _2_ what its like they are failing to perceive _3_ how powerful and significant the experience
2、_4_. Not only does your first love change your life _5_; it also reveals patterns of romantic behavior that are likely _6_ present in all your future love relationships _7_. If your first experience of love filled you with energy and gave you the _8_ to explore new areas of life, youll probably alwa
3、ys seek romantic partners who are both demanding and giving. If, on the _9_, your first romance left you feeling awkward and unable to express yourself, you will most likely look for partners with _10_ you feel safe and comfortable. And _11_ the object of your first romantic feelings was can also be
4、 _12_. Was it someone nearby, your own age, that you could share interests and activities with? _13_ is a sign that you expect love as a natural _14_ of who you are. If your first love was someone remote a film star, for example you may always get more satisfaction from earning _15_ love than from r
5、eceiving love. Or perhaps your first romantic feelings were for _16_ “in between”: remote, but not absent; near you, but not _17_ you an English teacher, for instance.

Women everywhere still suffer _1_ ec
7、onomic injustice, social injustice and most significantphysical injustice. This is where genetic engineering is _2_ to feminism. The way things are now, too few women feel truly sure of their physical safety. All that _3_ most women from physical force _4_ the so-called social contract. This is not
8、enough. Why should half the population enjoy physical safety as a form of _5_, while the other half enjoys it as a natural _6_?Men who argue that laws can _7_ for this inequality simply cant imagine what its like to be _8_ to defend yourself. This lifelong lack of _9_ in something as basic as physic
9、al safety gives rise _10_ major psychological barriers _11_ equality. How can a person feel equal when she lives _12_ life with the knowledge _13_ stronger creatures are in control? How can she feel truly free to compete with them, ignore _14_ them or disagree with them, all the time knowing they co
10、uld suddenly _15_ her if she isnt nice? Sure, women can learn self-defense or carry guns, but that _16_ the same as trusting in your own safety. _17_ women really need is a breakthrough in genetic engineering to ensure that both _18_ are equal in physical strength right from the cradle. 1. from 2. i

12、The first step is to (1) your physical senses so you can experience them (2) . Lets start with food either a food you _(3)_ like, or a food youve grown _(4)_ of because you eat _(5)_ too often. Begin _(6)_ closing your eyes and focusing on _(7)_ smell. Breathe it in deeply, and imagine: If this smel

Move the food _(12)_ the side and back of your tongue and _(13)_ the differences. Find a word for each flavo
14、r you experience, but try to refrain _(14)_ from using everyday terms like “sweet” or “salty”. If this _(15)_ a song in your mouth, what kind of song would it be? _(16)_ you know, you can go on but dont eat any more yet! First pay attention _(17)_ your mind is responding to the food. Notice your _(1

Or just hungrier? 1. arouse 2. more intensely 3. especially 4. weary 5. it 6. by 7. its 8. were 9. to taste 10. amount 11. buds 12. along 13. ponder 14. 0 15. were 16. Once 17. to how 18. moodUnit 4 The term “liberal arts” comes from the
16、Latin root liber, meaning “free”. This term originally referred to seven fields of study 1)_, in ancient Greece, were 2)_ arts of the mind, 3)_ contrast to the manual or mechanical arts. The liberal arts now include fields other than the original seven (which, 4)_, were grammar, rhetoric (修辞), logic
17、, arithmetic, music, geometry (几何) and astronomy), but the basic concept still has an 5)_ influence on Western education. 6)_ the Middle Ages, a liberal arts education was only for the 7)_ , and was seen as an end 8)_: Although it could open doors to a 9)_ career, it was mainly regarded as the mark
18、of a cultivated man. (Women were not permitted 10)_ a liberal arts education in the Middle Ages). 11)_, liberal arts faculties were established at universities, and the liberal arts 12)_ the idea of pursuing an education for its own 13)_ became the standard for higher education in the Western world.
19、 The 14)_ that education should not be practical has never completely died out. 15)_ centuries law and medicine were thought of as primarily theoretical 16)_ putting them into practice was viewed 17)_ low-class. The natural sciences were not treated seriously, and fields like economics and managemen

21、 they seem to expect everyone to like them wherever they go. Americans arent of course the only people in the world who take _1_ that their cultural standards are generally admiredmonoculturalism is typical _2_ every society in the world. But it isnt _3_ that Americans seem to expectthey seem to exp
22、ect _4_. This phenomenon, which the rest of the world finds both amusing and 5 , may be at least partly 6 to the American definition of friendliness. To Americans, friendliness means _7_ informal and cheerful and open to other people, even before you know them _8_ to be sure you like them. And its i
23、mportant to note that 9 real friendship may certainly arise _10_ acting friendly in this way, Americans do not mistake _11_ being friends. This can, of course, cause 12 when Americans meet people from more reserved cultures. But if you consider _13_ American history, its easier to see where this pat
24、tern of behavior comes from. In the pioneer days, if you acted too reserved and formal, no one _14_ any reason to help you if you got in trouble (_15_ there was plenty of in the pioneer days). Having a wide circle of friendly acquaintances was a key 16 survival, so “friendliness” became a glorified
25、pattern of behavior that every generation of Americans is trained to _17_ in a high degree. Theyre so good at being friendly and it works at home that Americans _18_ is that it will work everywhere. 1. it for granted 2. of 3. admiration 4. to be liked 5. frustrating 6. due 7. being 8. well enough 9.

Just as he pulled _1_, one of the g
27、as pumps _2_ and Brain lost both his legs. Everyone agreed that Brain was lucky _3_ with his life (the only other _4_ of the accident died on the spot) everyone, that is, except _5_ Brain, who was filled with total _6_ . It wasnt the pain and difficulty of adjusting _7_ living with a handicap that h
28、e found so hard to bear; it was the sheer senselessness of the accident that had _8_ his legs, his life and his dreams. He _9_ the risks of his chosen profession, so if hed suffered the same _10_ in a plane crash, he wouldve accepted it. If hed been wounded in _11_, he couldve forgiven his enemy, or
29、 vowed to get _12_ . But how can you forgive or get even with a _13_ in a gas pump? Where can you turn to find meaningful _14_ into the risks of stopping to ask for directions? Brain was given artificial legs, and months of physical _15_ to help him function in his new life. But no one ever found _1
30、6_ to replace or revive the love of life _17_ meaningless accident destroyed. In a very real sense, I lost my son that night at the gas station: _18_ his body survived, his spirit did not. 1. up 2. exploded 3. to have escaped 4. victim 5.0 6. despair 7. to 8. shattered 9. acknowledged 10. injury 11.

Little children have l)_ got the impression that the definition of song is
32、 “what you hear 2)_ singing on the radio”. And when teachers try to 3)_ these children that they 4)_ sing, the kids just dont see the point. Why should they struggle to perform a 5)_ version that only theft mothers could possibly love? Its so much easier to buy a CD and hear someone do it really wel
33、l! Their logic is hard to argue 6)_ and its a direct result of our societys 7)_ with competence. Pleasure is no longer the aim of our 8)_ activities; in fact no one even sees anything pleasant 9)_ doing something less than perfectly well. This is crazy. And its l0)_ a terrible toll. Not only l1)_ de

In a world In a world l4)_ we expect all our art to be supplied l5)_ highly competent professionals, the pressure on the professionals becomes too great
