新概念第三册笔记 （beachboy整理）Lesson 21 Daniel MendozaBoxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'. However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then (= at that time) the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarreled争吵 bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as ￡100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.

Lesson 22 By heartSome plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night. One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter. Yet this is not always the case并不总是这样.A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at在活动中 each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristecrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at盯 the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting转 his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim. Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either也, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed实在是 dim, sire. I must get my glasses.' With this说着, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.New words and expressionsrun (run, run) 连映lines 台词part 剧中的角色falter 结巴说cast(cast, cast) 选派…扮演角色role 角色aristocrat 贵族imprison 关押gaoler 监狱长colleague 同事curtain 幕布reveal 使显露cell 单人监房blank 空白的squint 眯（眼）看dim 昏暗sire 陛下（古用法）proceed 继续进行Notes on the textl run out(short) of用光了├running nose流鼻涕├running water自来水├run for竞选│run away with私奔└＝elopeThe play has run for years.┌on the line在接电话├drop me a line来封信└line up排列play a ___ ┬part in…谁在…起 └role着作用┌a great├a important重要的├a tremendous了不起的└a peculiar奇特的cast┬铸造bronze├抛弃cast a fly钓鱼└被扮演角色He was ca

The English language possesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terrible secret is called 'a skeleton in the cupboard'. At some dramatic moment in the story, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. The reader's hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine, a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her youth, poisoned毒死 every one of her five husbands.It is all very for such things to occur(=happen) in fiction. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of us have skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very proud of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth. Instead of没有 becoming a doctor, however, he became a successfu
l writer of detective stories. I once spent an uncomfortable weekend which I shall never forget at his house. George showed me to the guestroom which, he said, was rarely used. He told me to unpack my things and then come down to dinner. After I had stacked装 my shirts and underclothes in two empty drawers, I decided to hang one of the two suits I had brought with me in the cupboard. I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of it petrified. A skeleton was dangling before my eyes. The sudden movement of the door make it sway slightly and it gave me the impression印象 that it was about to即将 leap out at me. Dropping my suit, I dashed downstairs to tell George. This was worse than 'a terrible secret'; this was a real skeleton! But George was unsympathetic. 'Oh, that,' he said with a smile as if仿佛 he were talking about an old friend. 'That's Sebastian.

She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past. Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four mouths, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home,
t during the race she had a lot of bad luck. In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. A temporary rudder was mad on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was a danger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. There is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily.New words and expressionsimpressive 给人深刻印象的steamship 蒸汽轮船vessel 大木船era 时期，时代rudder 舵roll 颠簸，摇摆steer 掌握方向temporary 临时的plank 大块木板fit 安装Equator 赤道delay 耽误Notes on the textI have a very nice impression of Beijing.l dinghy救生筏（两三人）├lifeboat救生船├destroyer驱逐舰├submarine潜水艇├aircraft carrier航母└motor ship摩托艇┌era时代new era├information age├Internet age└hard times艰难岁月Never walk in anyone's shadow.走自己的路l medical students└medical workers医务工作者social student研究社会学的学生l eye-catching抢眼的├notable ┬引人注意的├noticeable ┘└striking吸引人的┌steer clear of = avoid避开└steer掌握方向┌install装（空调、软件）├fit安上└fix修理后安装l without delay没有耽误└so many delays耽误许多┌at Oxford用at不是in└at Greenwich格林威志l serve as被用作She serves as a teacher.This book serves as a weapon.The sound made by bird can serve as language.The picture serves as an impressive reminder of my miserable（苦难的） childhood.l 标志…的开始…的结束It marked the beginning of…and the end of…It marked the beginning of a new era.l take the lead领先┌It seems that├It seems certain that└看起来确实无疑的I will take bus home.Road home.回家的路┌Wish you good luck.└a lot of bad luckl be struck by被击中┌heavy storm雨雪都用此表大├wild wind狂风└strong wind强风┌tear away撕开├tear up撕碎└tear off撕下来It became impossible to steer the ship.变得on board在船上with great difficulty = 副词l He has danger（错误的表达）

Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we wants, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses.Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing免费的. An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way.During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long很快, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighted nearly 500 pounds. A little later一会儿, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied占据 the whole boot of his car. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds.

In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times有时候 when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely (=exactly) this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.Tramps流浪汉 seem to be the only exception to his general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse引起 the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice牺牲 their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for同情 him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is free form the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible使可能 for him to move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally偶尔 to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom. We often speak of tramps with带着 contempt and put them in the same class as beggars, but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?New words and expressionsphilosopher 哲学家wisdom 智慧priest 牧师spiritual 精神上的grudge 不愿给surgeon 外科大夫passer(s)-by 过路人dignity 尊严deliberately 故意地consequence 后果afflict 使精神苦恼ease 容易nature 自然，本质contempt 蔑视envious

Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs form Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to（表否定） buy anything until I had disembarded.I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine真的. At the base of the gold cap, the words 'made in the U.S.A.' had been neatly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth ￡50, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for ￡30. I shook my head and held up five fingers indicating表明 that I was willing to pay ￡5. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to ￡10. shrugging my shoulders耸肩, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the ￡5 I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain - until I got back to the ship.

The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with紧紧连在一起 national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way同样, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal吸引力. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say (=for example), Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour,
which stems largely from起源于 the U.S., has recently come into fashion. It is called 'sick humour'. Comedians base their jokes on tragics situations like violent death暴死 or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself自己做判断.A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent a miserable悲惨的 day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances可能性 of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough果然, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.New words and expressionslargely 在很大程度上comic 喜剧的universal 普遍的comedian 滑稽演员distasteful 讨厌的pester 纠缠dread 惧怕recovery 康复plaster 熟石膏console 安慰hobble 瘸着腿走compensate 补偿mumble 喃喃而语Notes on the textl generally一般地├mostly大多数的├chiefly主要的└largely很大程度上┞for the most part├by and large├on the whole└at large大体上l fanny（有贬义）可笑├amusing使人笑的├ridiculous滑稽的├comic可笑的，喜剧的└humorous幽默的┌comedy喜剧├comedian喜剧演员└clown小丑l distasteful（有味道的）讨厌的He pestered me to buy him a car.He pestered me for a car.Whether we like a food or not largely depends on we have been brought up.长大be bound up with紧紧连在一起I find it easy to learn English.┌In the same way└Similarly同样地┌laugh to tears笑出眼泪└smile from ear to ear笑合不拢嘴In spite of national differences, both Chinese and Americans share the same love for peace.In spite of cultural differences,…（文化）l 美国的社会问题1.

The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bob Cox. They employed a few farmhands, but no one was willing to work there long. Every time a worker gave up his job, he told the same story经历. Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that wor
k had been done overnight. Hay had been cut and cowsheds had been cleaned. A farm worker, who stayed up all night, claimed to have seen a figure人 cutting corn in the moonlight. In time, it became an accepted fact that the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that did most of their work for them.No one suspected认为是 that there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen. This was indeed the case. A short time ago, villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died. Everyone went to the funeral, for the 'ghost' was none other than正是 Eric Cox, a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man. After the funeral, Joe and Bob revealed a secret which they had kept for over fifty years.Eric had been the eldest son of the family, very much older than his two brothers. He had been obliged to join the army during the Second World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his father hid him until the end of the war. Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bob. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse. He used to过去常常 sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his borthers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer.New word and expressionslabourer 劳动者overnight 一夜间hay 干*corn 谷物moonlight 月光conscientious 尽职尽责的认真的suspect 怀疑是desert 开小差regiment 团（军队）action 战斗recluse 隐士Notes on the textl peasant（职业）农民├farmer农夫（农场中劳动）├labourer工者（无固定职业）└farm hands农场帮手l overnight（不一定一晚）一夜（成名）The singer rose to fame overnight.┌corn玉米，谷物└barn仓库（corn被buy回来）My girlfriend and I swam in the moonlight.l conscious意识的└conscientious勤劳的be conscious of意识到l sceptical adj.充满怀疑的├doubt v.对…表示怀疑（不相信）└suspect怀疑是(This is fact)suspect疑犯This is a sceptical age.There is no doubt,不用怀疑I suspect that…l desert the army军中开小差His villa is haunted.（别墅）闹鬼，萦绕 /Rn/ His smiles still haunt my mind / memory / imagination.No one was willing to work there long.l one more time再来一下├each time每次├every time每一次├once（过去时）曾经├at one time曾几何时├yet another time又一次├for a secon

新概念第三册笔记 （beachboy整理）Lesson 21 Daniel MendozaBoxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as 'prizefighters'. However, boxing was very crude, for there were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was technically a prizefighter, Mendoza did much to change crude prizefighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by rich and poor alike.Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was then (= at that time) the most eminent boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarreled争吵 bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought for an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as much as ￡100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.

Lesson 22 By heartSome plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same lines night after night. One would expect them to know their parts by heart and never have cause to falter. Yet this is not always the case并不总是这样.A famous actor in a highly successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in the Bastille for twenty years. In the last act, a gaoler would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. Even though the noble was expected to read the letter at在活动中 each performance, he always insisted that it should be written out in full.One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the contents of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristecrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler appeared with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the cell and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in full as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, anxious to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at盯 the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting转 his eyes, he said: 'The light is dim. Read the letter to me.' And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. Finding that he could not remember a word of the letter either也, the gaoler replied: 'The light is indeed实在是 dim, sire. I must get my glasses.' With this说着, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's amusement, the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.New words and expressionsrun (run, run) 连映lines 台词part 剧中的角色falter 结巴说cast(cast, cast) 选派…扮演角色role 角色aristocrat 贵族imprison 关押gaoler 监狱长colleague 同事curtain 幕布reveal 使显露cell 单人监房blank 空白的squint 眯（眼）看dim 昏暗sire 陛下（古用法）proceed 继续进行Notes on the textl run out(short) of用光了├running nose流鼻涕├running water自来水├run for竞选│run away with私奔└＝elopeThe play has run for years.┌on the line在接电话├drop me a line来封信└line up排列play a ___ ┬part in…谁在…起 └role着作用┌a great├a important重要的├a tremendous了不起的└a peculiar奇特的cast┬铸造bronze├抛弃cast a fly钓鱼└被扮演角色He was ca

The English language possesses a vivid saying to describe this sort of situation. The terrible secret is called 'a skeleton in the cupboard'. At some dramatic moment in the story, the terrible secret becomes known and a reputation is ruined. The reader's hair stands on end when he reads in the final pages of the novel that the heroine, a dear old lady who had always been so kind to everybody, had, in her youth, poisoned毒死 every one of her five husbands.It is all very for such things to occur(=happen) in fiction. To varying degrees, we all have secrets which we do not want even our closest friends to learn, but few of us have skeletons in the cupboard. The only person I know who has a skeleton in the cupboard is George Carlton, and he is very proud of the fact. George studied medicine in his youth. Instead of没有 becoming a doctor, however, he became a successfu
l writer of detective stories. I once spent an uncomfortable weekend which I shall never forget at his house. George showed me to the guestroom which, he said, was rarely used. He told me to unpack my things and then come down to dinner. After I had stacked装 my shirts and underclothes in two empty drawers, I decided to hang one of the two suits I had brought with me in the cupboard. I opened the cupboard door and then stood in front of it petrified. A skeleton was dangling before my eyes. The sudden movement of the door make it sway slightly and it gave me the impression印象 that it was about to即将 leap out at me. Dropping my suit, I dashed downstairs to tell George. This was worse than 'a terrible secret'; this was a real skeleton! But George was unsympathetic. 'Oh, that,' he said with a smile as if仿佛 he were talking about an old friend. 'That's Sebastian.

She stands on dry land and is visited by thousands of people each year. She serves as an impressive reminder of the great ships of the past. Before they were replaced by steamships, sailing vessels like the Cutty Sark were used to carry tea from China and wool from Australia. The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built. The only other ship to match her was the Thermopylae. Both these ships set out from Shanghai on June 18th, 1872 on an exciting race to England. This race, which went on for exactly four mouths, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.The first of the two ships to reach Java after the race had begun was the Thermopylae, but on the Indian Ocean, the Cutty Sark took the lead. It seemed certain that she would be the first ship home,
t during the race she had a lot of bad luck. In August, she was struck by a very heavy storm during which her rudder was torn away. The Cutty Sark rolled from side to side and it became impossible to steer her. A temporary rudder was mad on board from spare planks and it was fitted with great difficulty. This greatly reduced the speed of the ship, for there was a danger that if she traveled too quickly, this rudder would be torn away as well. Because of this, the Cutty Sark lost her lead. After crossing the Equator, the captain called in at a port to have a new rudder fitted, but by now the Thermopylae was over five hundred miles ahead. Though the new rudder was fitted at tremendous speed, it was impossible for the Cutty Sark to win. She arrived in England a week after the Thermopylae. Even this was remarkable, considering that she had had so many delays. There is no doubt that if she had not lost her rudder she would have won the race easily.New words and expressionsimpressive 给人深刻印象的steamship 蒸汽轮船vessel 大木船era 时期，时代rudder 舵roll 颠簸，摇摆steer 掌握方向temporary 临时的plank 大块木板fit 安装Equator 赤道delay 耽误Notes on the textI have a very nice impression of Beijing.l dinghy救生筏（两三人）├lifeboat救生船├destroyer驱逐舰├submarine潜水艇├aircraft carrier航母└motor ship摩托艇┌era时代new era├information age├Internet age└hard times艰难岁月Never walk in anyone's shadow.走自己的路l medical students└medical workers医务工作者social student研究社会学的学生l eye-catching抢眼的├notable ┬引人注意的├noticeable ┘└striking吸引人的┌steer clear of = avoid避开└steer掌握方向┌install装（空调、软件）├fit安上└fix修理后安装l without delay没有耽误└so many delays耽误许多┌at Oxford用at不是in└at Greenwich格林威志l serve as被用作She serves as a teacher.This book serves as a weapon.The sound made by bird can serve as language.The picture serves as an impressive reminder of my miserable（苦难的） childhood.l 标志…的开始…的结束It marked the beginning of…and the end of…It marked the beginning of a new era.l take the lead领先┌It seems that├It seems certain that└看起来确实无疑的I will take bus home.Road home.回家的路┌Wish you good luck.└a lot of bad luckl be struck by被击中┌heavy storm雨雪都用此表大├wild wind狂风└strong wind强风┌tear away撕开├tear up撕碎└tear off撕下来It became impossible to steer the ship.变得on board在船上with great difficulty = 副词l He has danger（错误的表达）

Much as we may pride ourselves on our good taste, we are no longer free to choose the things we wants, for advertising exerts a subtle influence on us. In their efforts to persuade us to buy this or that product, advertisers have made a close study of human nature and have classified all our little weaknesses.Advertisers discovered years ago that all of us love to get something for nothing免费的. An advertisement which begins with the magic word FREE can rarely go wrong. These days, advertisers not only offer free samples, but free cars, free houses, and free trips round the world as well. They devise hundreds of competitions which will enable us to win huge sums of money. Radio and television have made it possible for advertisers to capture the attention of millions of people in this way.During a radio programme, a company of biscuit manufacturers once asked listeners to bake biscuits and send them to their factory. They offered to pay $10 a pound for the biggest biscuit baked by a listener. The response to this competition was tremendous. Before long很快, biscuits of all shapes and sizes began arriving at the factory. One lady brought in a biscuit on a wheelbarrow. It weighted nearly 500 pounds. A little later一会儿, a man came along with a biscuit which occupied占据 the whole boot of his car. All the biscuits that were sent were carefully weighed. The largest was 713 pounds. It seemed certain that this would win the prize. But just before the competition closed, a lorry arrived at the factory with a truly colossal biscuit which weighed 2,400 pounds. It had been baked by a college student who had used over 1,000 pounds of flour, 800 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of fat, and 400 pounds of various other ingredients. It was so heavy that a crane had to be used to remove it from the lorry. The manufacturers had to pay more money than they had anticipated. For they bought the biscuit from the student for $24,000.New words and expressionsinfluence 影响pride 骄傲taste 鉴赏力exert 施加subtle 微妙的advertiser 广告人classify 分类magic 有奇妙作用的sample 样品devise 设计，想出capture 吸引manufacturer 制造商wheelbarrow 独轮手推车boot 行

In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge, philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort. Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money, it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us. There are times有时候 when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives, yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely (=exactly) this service. The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop. Everyone has something to sell.Tramps流浪汉 seem to be the only exception to his general rule. Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse引起 the pity of passers-by. But real tramps are not beggars. They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others. In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice牺牲 their human dignity. A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for同情 him. He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences. He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is free form the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people. His few material possessions make it possible使可能 for him to move from place to place with ease. By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do. He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally偶尔 to keep himself alive; he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom.

Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs form Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful handmade silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to（表否定） buy anything until I had disembarded.I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine真的. At the base of the gold cap, the words 'made in the U.S.A.' had been neatly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth ￡50, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for ￡30. I shook my head and held up five fingers indicating表明 that I was willing to pay ￡5. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to ￡10. shrugging my shoulders耸肩, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the ￡5 I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain - until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single word!New words and expressionswares 货物，商品anchor 停航下锚deck 甲板silverware 银器tempt 吸引bargain 讨价还价disembark 下船上岸assail 纠缠marble 玻璃球，大理石inscribe 雕，刻（文字）favour 好处，优惠gesticulate （说话时）打手势outrageous 出人预料的thrust 硬塞给Notes on the textl wares运输过程中的货├goods（商店中的）货品├articles物品├merchandise商品├commodity（抽

The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with紧紧连在一起 national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way同样, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears.Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal吸引力. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say (=for example), Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour,
which stems largely from起源于 the U.S., has recently come into fashion. It is called 'sick humour'. Comedians base their jokes on tragics situations like violent death暴死 or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself自己做判断.A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent a miserable悲惨的 day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances可能性 of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and, sure enough果然, on New Year's Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.New words and expressionslargely 在很大程度上comic 喜剧的universal 普遍的comedian 滑稽演员distasteful 讨厌的pester 纠缠dread 惧怕recovery 康复plaster 熟石膏console 安慰hobble 瘸着腿走compensate 补偿mumble 喃喃而语Notes on the textl generally一般地├mostly大多数的├chiefly主要的└largely很大程度上┞for the most part├by and large├on the whole└at large大体上l fanny（有贬义）可笑├amusing使人笑的├ridiculous滑稽的├comic可笑的，喜剧的└humorous幽默的┌comedy喜剧├comedian喜剧演员└clown小丑l distasteful（有味道的）讨厌的He pestered me to buy him a car.He pestered me for a car.Whether we like a food or not largely depends on we have been brought up.长大be bound up with紧紧连在一起I find it easy to learn English.┌In the same way└Similarly同样地┌laugh to tears笑出眼泪└smile from ear to ear笑合不拢嘴In spite of national differences, both Chinese and Americans share the same love for peace.In spite of cultural differences,…（文化）l 美国的社会问题1.

The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bob Cox. They employed a few farmhands, but no one was willing to work there long. Every time a worker gave up his job, he told the same story经历. Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that wor
k had been done overnight. Hay had been cut and cowsheds had been cleaned. A farm worker, who stayed up all night, claimed to have seen a figure人 cutting corn in the moonlight. In time, it became an accepted fact that the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that did most of their work for them.No one suspected认为是 that there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen. This was indeed the case. A short time ago, villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died. Everyone went to the funeral, for the 'ghost' was none other than正是 Eric Cox, a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man. After the funeral, Joe and Bob revealed a secret which they had kept for over fifty years.Eric had been the eldest son of the family, very much older than his two brothers. He had been obliged to join the army during the Second World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment. When he learnt that he would be sent abroad, he returned to the farm and his father hid him until the end of the war. Fearing the authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father told everybody that Eric had been killed in action. The only other people who knew the secret were Joe and Bob. They did not even tell their wives. When their father died, they thought it their duty to keep Eric in hiding. All these years, Eric had lived as a recluse. He used to过去常常 sleep during the day and work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he had become the ghost of Endley. When he died, however, his borthers found it impossible to keep the secret any longer.New word and expressionslabourer 劳动者overnight 一夜间hay 干*corn 谷物moonlight 月光conscientious 尽职尽责的认真的suspect 怀疑是desert 开小差regiment 团（军队）action 战斗recluse 隐士Notes on the textl peasant（职业）农民├farmer农夫（农场中劳动）├labourer工者（无固定职业）└farm hands农场帮手l overnight（不一定一晚）一夜（成名）The singer rose to fame overnight.┌corn玉米，谷物└barn仓库（corn被buy回来）My girlfriend and I swam in the moonlight.l conscious意识的└conscientious勤劳的be conscious of意识到l sceptical adj.充满怀疑的├doubt v.对…表示怀疑（不相信）└suspect怀疑是(This is fact)suspect疑犯This is a sceptical age.There is no doubt,不用怀疑I suspect that…l desert the army军中开小差His villa is haunted.（别墅）闹鬼，萦绕 /Rn/ His smiles still haunt my mind / memory / imagination.No one was willing to work there long.l one more time再来一下├each time每次├every time每一次├once（过去时）曾经├at one time曾几何时├yet another time又一次├for a secon
