It was a safe bet that we were as much baffled about their way of thinking as they were about ours. I think we need to arrange a meeting to clear up misunderstandings and to remove communication barriers.（2）From a biography written by one of his former colleagues who had worked with him for more than two decades, it is not difficult to conclude that what he represented was nothing if not the elite class of the country in the wake of World War II, who were rather conservative in terms of religious and political views.Unit 5Active reading (1)Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.答案：donation intense sophisticated progressive competent recruit intimidate encounter5Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4答案：progressive intense donations recruits competent intimidated encounter sophisticated.6Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box .

Hed never been to Joannes, but knew it by reputation, not because of its food, which had often been maligned, or its jazz orchestra, which had a guest slot for a well-known movie director who played trumpet, but because of the stellar quality of its sophisticated guests: politicians, diplomats, movie actors, hall-of-fame athletes, journalists, writers, rock stars and Nobel Prize winners in short, anyone who was anyone in this city of power brokers.答案：喬希打了個冷戰，他打開手里的紙條核對了一下地址。之前他沒來過喬安妮餐廳，但對于它的鼎鼎大名卻早有耳聞，倒不是因為這里的飯菜有多美味，其實這里的菜品屢遭惡評，也不是因為這里的爵士管弦樂隊有一位知名電影導演客串吹小號，而是因為這里匯集了有頭有臉的賓客，可以說是星光璀璨，他們中有政客、外交家、電影明星、載入名人堂的體育明星、記者、作家、搖滾明星、諾貝爾獎得主等等總之，這里的每一位客人都是這座權力之城里的一個人物。2 The Swedes and the Saudis in this true story have different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business. For the Swedes, business is done with a company; for the Saudis, with a person whom one has learned to know and trust. As long as one does not know another personwell enough it is convenient to have present an intermediary or go-between, someone who knows and is trusted by both parties. At the root of the difference between these cultures is a fundamental issue in human societies: the role of the individual versus the role of the group.答案：在這個真實的故事里，瑞典人和沙特人對人際關系在商業中的作用有著不同的理解。對瑞典人來說，他們是在和一個公司做生意；但對沙特人來說，他們是在和一個他們了解并且信任的人做生意。只要他們對某個人還不夠了解，就會讓一位雙方都認識并信任的中間人或介紹人在場，這樣做會比較方便。這兩種文化的差異源于人類社會的一個根本問題：即個人角色與集體角色的問題。7Translate the paragraphs into English .1 這位年輕人是個偵探小說迷，在看了福爾摩斯探案故事之后，他自以為完全掌握了偵探技巧，于是就開始調查一起搶劫案。經過幾個星期的周密調查，他倒是追查到了三名疑犯，只可惜案發時這三個人都身在國外。(know sth inside out; track down)答案：This young man liked reading detective stories. After finished reading Holmes stories, he thought he had known the detectives skills inside out and started to investigate a case of robbery. After a few weeks of close investigation, he tracked down three suspects, who turned out to be abroad when the robbery took place.2 在本書中我們確實體會到了兩種文化之間的差異。不過作者沒有詳細敘述這些差異，而是仔細討論了兩種文化的相同點，其中說得最多的是為什么這兩種文化都如此強調工作的熱忱。(dwell on; of which; loyalty)答案：In this book, we do find some differences between the two cultures. But instead of dwelling on the differences, the author presents lengthy discussions on things they have in common, of which their loyalty to work are most thoroughly touched upon.Unit 6Active reading (1)Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.答案：extinguish toll nightmare tragedy utmost heroism chaotic 6Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5答案：chaotic extinguish tragedy nightmare toll utmost heroism7Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box .答案：decent gratitude herd massive evacuate leadership 8Answer the question about the words and expressions答案：b b a b a b b b aActive reading (2)Dealing with unfamiliar words3 Match the words in the box with their definitions答案：delegate ascribe correspondent genius dominate unconscious oversee4Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 3答案：genius delegates oversee dominate correspondent ascribed unconscious5Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box .答案：crippled summit column marvelous lobby slums6Answer the question about the words and expressions答案：a b a b b a a a aLanguage in use5Complete the sentences with the correct form of suitable expressions from the collocation box.Sometimes more than one collocation is possible.答案：（1）massive heart attack （2）column of smoke （3）daily newspaper column (4)take a toll on (5)death toll (6) newspaper columns (7) pay a toll (8)stroke of genius （9）has a genius for (10) massive amount 6Translate the paragraphs into Chinese1 I thought how we firemen were always saying to each other, “Ill see you at the big one.” Or, “Well all meet at the big one.” I never knew how it started, or when Id picked up on it myself, but it was part of our shorthand. Meaning, no matter how big this fire is, therell be another one bigger, somewhere down the road. Well make it through this one, and well make it through that one, too. I always said it, at big fires, and I always heard it back, and here I was, thinking I would never say or hear these words again, because there would never be another fire as big as this. This was the big one we had all talked about, all our lives, and if I hadnt known this before just before these chilling moments this sick, black noise now confirmed it. (? 這段話由許多短句構成，要注意短句間語氣的連接。像at big fires，allour lives等詞語應該調整語序。)答案：我想起我們消防員平常總互相打趣說：“在大火中見吧。”或者是“我們肯定會在大火中碰面的。”我不知道這種說法是怎么來的，或者我自己是從什么時候開始說起這種話來的，但這就是我們的暗語。意思是不管這場火有多大，以后在別處還會有比這更大的。我們能安然無恙地度過這場火，也會安然無恙地度過下一場火。遇到一場大火時，我總是這么說，也總聽別人這么說，可現在，我呆在這兒，想著自己再也不會說這樣的話了，也不會再聽到別人這么說了，因為再也不會有比這更大的火了。這會是我們大家一輩子都在說的那場大火，如果以前就在這一個個令人膽戰心驚的瞬間之前我沒有認識到這一點的話，現在這渾厚的、不祥的響聲印證了這一點。2 Named as the first chairman of the UN Human Rights Commission, Roosevelt oversaw the two-year process of drafting and securing passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Additionally, her clashes with representatives of the Soviet Union led one Republican to lean forward in his chair and state he wouldnt allow his name to be used for fear of being labeled as a Democratic supporter “Now, if you want to know what I think about Mrs Roosevelt, she is tuh-riffic! Mrs Roosevelt is unique in her capacity to create an understanding of our position in the minds of the delegates of other countries. Her performance is so superlative that it is rather unexpected to be asked to evaluate her in ordinary terms.”答案：作為聯合國人權委員會的首任主席，羅斯福監督了世界人權宣言歷時兩年的起草和通過的全過程。此外, 她和蘇聯代表的交鋒讓一位共和黨人從椅子上朝前探過身來，說出了下面一番話因為怕被當成是民主黨的支持者，他不愿意透露自己的姓名“如果你想知道我對羅斯福夫人的看法，那我會說她真是了不起! 羅斯福夫人有一種獨特的能力，能讓其他國家的代表清楚地了解我們的立場。要用平常的語言來評價她高超的外交手腕，一時間還真不知道該怎么說。”7Translate the paragraphs into English.1 人們很不理解為什么他一份工作干了30年，大多數人到了他這個年紀至少已經換了四五份工作了。也許對他來說，為了獲得更高的薪水或是尋求體驗新事物的刺激而換工作毫無意義。在他看來，唯一重要的事是穩定。(stick with; point; thrill)答案：People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the same job for 30 years when most people of his age have changed at least four or five jobs. Maybe for him there is no point in changing jobs for a higher pay or for the thrill of experiencing something new. The only thing that matters, in his point of view, is stability.2 協會中的大多數會員認為應該竭力游說政府，確保這項計劃獲得批準。至關重要的是要把決策者中的一些反對者爭取過來。雖然這會很難，但是他們下定決心要作最大的努力。 (lobby; win over; adj. + though it + be; utmost)答案：Most members of the association believe that they need to lobby as hard as possible to make sure that the plan will be approved by the government. Its essential to win over some of the naysayer among the policy makers. Tough though it will be, they have made up their mind to make utmost efforts.Unit7: Active reading(1) 2.ababdaba 3.misfortune neutral mathematical vulnerable subsequent frequency 4.misfortunes neutral frequency mathematical vulnerable subsequent 5.route overlapped adjacent sacked cluster duration 6.abbbbbbba 7.bedcaActive reading(2) 3.dcdc 4.persevere literally venture confidence sustain frustrated 5.frustrating venture persevere confidence sustain literally 6.blend entitled evidently subtract scanner blessing functional 7. abaaaabaa 8.bd 9.MFMMFFFMM 翻譯 1.司機不趕時間的時候碰到的紅燈其實和趕時間的時候一樣多；只是如果時間不緊急， 紅燈帶來的不便要小得多。認為紅燈出現的次數比綠燈多其實是一種錯覺。產生這 種錯覺的原因很簡單，因為司機有更多的時間去想紅燈，而綠燈的時候，車子幾秒 鐘之內就疾馳而過了這其實和在暢通的公路上開車沒有任何區別而紅燈卻迫使司機改變行為，一小會兒的時間里要強迫自己努力一下,承受點壓力，還要失去 一兩分鐘的自由。所以紅燈會深深地印在司機的腦海里，而綠燈轉瞬間就被拋到腦 后了. 2.人人都能學會唱歌嗎？在撰寫我最新出版的唱著歌的尼安德特人一書時，這個 問題就一直縈繞在我的心頭。我做的研究讓我相信音樂才能是深深植根于人類基因 中的，從進化史的角度來說，它比人類的口頭語言都要古老得多。可是我本人一唱 起歌來不是跑調，就是跟不上節奏。朋友們和學術同僚們都說，那都是因為我小時 候對音樂失去了興趣，只要上幾節音樂課，我一定能放聲歌唱。也許他們是對的。 記得小時候，音樂老師們讓我在全班同學面前獨“唱”，讓我覺得很丟臉。所以后 來一有機會，我就躲開音樂，35 年來從來沒有參加過任何音樂活動。說不定學一學 我也能唱得不錯。 1.The media doubt the claim that the two consecutive tragedies were independent of each other, and are dissatisfied with the fact that the President was not responsive immediately. When it comes to his competence in running the government, the media have long lost their trust, if only he could do well in his subsequent term. 2. Keep remembering that do not humiliate your child because they dont gain good grades, as their memory of the humiliation will haunt them for a long time, turn them off from learning at an early age and prevent them from gaining positive attitudes towards life. The development of children can be sustained only when parents identify the strengths in their children and encourage them from time to time.
