27、表达自己的情感和想法，这不仅仅因为他们对自己的英语口语不够自信，还因为他们相信稳重是一种美德。因此她特意设计了一些 简单的话题，鼓励学生参与讨论，让他们增强自信心，拉近彼此间的距离。(shyaway; en gage sb in)She knew that Chin ese stude nts had a way of shy ing away from reveali ng their feeli ngs or opinions, due not merely to their lack of con fide nee in spoke n En glish, but to their be

31、live in a period of un precede nted cha nge. Yet there is a good case that we do no t, in fact, live in very in terest ing times at all.不管怎么说，这就是那耳熟能详的套话。可是，让我们有这种论调的正是缘自我们对新奇事 物的过度迷恋，对深层次历史模式的无知，以及我们的狂妄自大。为了证明相比于先辈们的 优越性，我们夸耀说自己生活在一个前所未有的变革期。但是，有一个很好的例子可以用来证明，实际上我们并没有生活在多么有趣的时代。1我们根本就看不懂他们的计划书，因为他们

40、探小说迷，在看了福尔摩斯探案故事之后，他自以为完全掌握了侦探技巧，于是就开始调查一起抢劫案。经过几个星期的周密调查，他倒是追查到了三名疑犯，只可惜案发时这三个人都身在国外。(k now sth in side out;track dow n)This young man liked readi ng detective stories.

45、ust before these chilli ng mome nts -this sick, black no ise now confirmed it. (? 这段话由许多短句构成，要注意短句间语气的连接。像at big fires , allour lives等词语应该调整语序。)我想起我们消防员平常总互相打趣说：“在大火中见吧。”或者是“我们肯定会在大火中碰面的。”我不知道这种说法是怎么来的，或者我自己是从什么时候开始说起这种话来的，但这就是我们的暗语。意思是不管这场火有多大，以后在别处还会有比这更大的。我们能安然无恙地度过这场火，也会安然无恙地度过下一场火。遇到一场大火时，我总是这么

46、说，也总听别人这么说，可现在，我呆在这儿，想着自己再也不会说这样的话了，也不会再听到别人这么说了，因为再也不会有比这更大的火了。这会是我们大家一辈子都在说的那场大火，如果以前一一就在这一个个令人胆战心惊的瞬间之前一一我没有认识到这一点的话，现在这浑厚的、不祥的响声印证了这一点。2 Named as the first chairma n of the UN Huma n Rights Commissi on, Roosevelt oversaw the two-year process of draft ing and securi ng passage of the Uni versal D

47、eclarati on of Huma n Rights.

Her performa nee is so superlative that it is rather un expected to be asked to evaluate her in ordinary terms.”作为联合国人权委员会的首任主席，罗斯福

49、监督了世界人权宣言历时两年的起草和通过的全过程。此外，她和苏联代表的交锋让一位共和党人从椅子上朝前探过身来，说出了下面一番话一一因为怕被当成是民主党的支持者，他不愿意透露自己的姓名一一“如果你想知道我对罗斯福夫人的看法，那我会说她真是了不起！罗斯福夫人有一种独特的能力， 能让其他 国家的代表清楚地了解我们的立场。要用平常的语言来评价她高超的外交手腕，一时间还真不知道该怎么说。”1人们很不理解为什么他一份工作干了 30年，大多数人到了他这个年纪至少已经换了四五份工作了。也许对他来说，为了获得更高的薪水或是寻求体验新事物的刺激而换工作毫无意义。在他看来，唯一重要的事是稳定。(stick with;

50、 point; thrill)People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the same job for 30 years whe n most people of his age have cha nged at least four or five jobs.

Tough though it will be, they have made up their mi nd to make utmost efforts.Unit71 Red lights come up just as often when the driver is not in a hurry; it s just that thedisadva ntage of the

53、red light is con siderably less if time is not critical. The false part of thepercepti on is that red lights happe n more tha n gree n lights. The reas on for this is simply that a driver has more time to thi nk about a red light tha n a gree n light, because while the latter is gone in sec onds -an

Red lights stick in the mind, while gree n lights are in sta ntly forgotte n.司机不赶

55、时间的时候碰到的红灯其实和赶时间的时候一样多；只是如果时间不紧急，红灯带来的不便要小得多。认为红灯出现的次数比绿灯多其实是一种错觉。产生这种错觉的原因很简单，因为司机有更多的时间去想红灯，而绿灯的时候，车子几秒钟之内就疾驰而过了一一这其实和在畅通的公路上开车没有任何区别一一而红灯却迫使司机改变行为，一小会儿的时间里要强迫自己努力一下，承受点压力，还要失去一两分钟的自由。所以红灯会深深地印在 司机的脑海里，而绿灯转瞬间就被抛到脑后了。2 Can anyone learn to sing?

So humiliated was I by music teachers who made me“ sing ” alone in front of thedobppiBthimusic at thefirst opport unity and have n t participated in an

58、y thi ng musical for over 35 years.Perhaps I could lear n to sing.人人都能学会唱歌吗？在撰写我最新出版的唱着歌的尼安德特人一书时，这个问题就一直萦绕在我的心头。我做的研究让我相信音乐才能是深深植根于人类基因中的，从进化史的角度来说，它比人类的口头语言都要古老得多。可是我本人一唱起歌来不是跑调，就是跟不上节奏。朋友们和学术同僚们都说，那都是因为我小时候对音乐失去了兴趣，只要上几节音乐课，我一定能放声歌唱。 也许他们是对的。 记得小时候，音乐老师们让我在全班同学面前 独“唱”，让我觉得很丢脸。所以后来一有机会，我就躲开音乐，35年来从来没有参加过任何音乐活动。说不定学一学我也能唱得不错。1媒体对于接连发生的两件惨剧之间没有任何关系的说法表示怀疑，总统没有迅速作出反应也让大家很
