Stress
on
the
job
costs
American
companies
as
much
as
$$150
billion
a
year
in
lower
productivity,
unnecessary employee sick leave, and higher
medical costs. Three-quarters of the
office workers today say they suffer
from stress at work. Recently, psychologists and
doctors have
begun
to
study
the
problem
more
closely.
They
have
discovered
that
the
most
stressful
professions
are
those
that
involve
danger,
extreme
pressure
and
those
that
carry
a
lot
of
responsibility
without much control.
The
sign
of
stress
range
from
nervousness,
anger,
and
frequent
illness
to
forgetfulness
or
even mental problems. The best way to
deal with stress is through relaxation, but
sometimes the
only answer is to fight
back or walk away.
Task 2

A.
1)
give in so easily to hijackers
’
demands
a) threaten to blow up a plane, commit
some other outage
b)
hold
out
against
this
kind
of
blackmail,
always
have
terrorists,
Start
executing
terrorists
automatically
c)
be prepared to face the consequences of evil
2)
a) It
’
s the lesser of two evils. Terrorists have proven often enough that they really mean business.
b)
Innocent lives, threatening the innocent will achieve its ends.
B.
She
implies
that
if
the
first
speaker
was
one
of
the
victims
of
terrorism,
she
would
want
the
government to
give in to the demands so that she
wouldn
’
t die.
【原文】
Margaret:
Governments
give in so easily to hijackers’ demands
. A hijacker only has to threaten to
blow
up
a
plane
or
commit
some
other
outrage,
and
a
government
gives
in
to
his
demands.
Valerie: Naturally.
It’s the less
er of the two evils. What government would risk innocent lives just
to see
if terrorists will really do what they threaten to
do Terrorists have proven often
enough
that they really mean business.
Margaret: Yes, but i
f a government doesn’t hold out against this kind of blackmail, we will always
have
terrorists. Governments are afraid to punish these
people. They almost always let
them
go
free.
Start
executing
terrorists
automatically
wherever
they
land,
and
terrorism will
stop.
Valerie: And what about
the innocent lives that will be lost in the
process Terrorism is based on
the
simple idea that threatening the innocent will
achieve its ends.
Margaret: You
can
’
t get rid of evil without being prepared to face the consequences of evil.
Valerie: So long as
you
’
re not one of the victims!

downtown Los Angeles.
2) This factory makes shirts and

【原文】
Eight
kilometers
from
downtown
Los
Angeles
there
is
a
narrow
street
with
five-
and
six-storey
buildings. Inside one of these buildings there is
a small factory making shirts and jeans.
The women working in the factory sit
close together, each with a small table, each with
their own
sewing
machine.
The
women
say
nothing,
and
work
hard.
In
one
of
the
rooms
there
are
thirty-five
women. There is only a little natural light, and
this comes from a small window in the
roof. The room is hot, airless, and
very noisy. On the left-hand side of the room
there is a young
girl sitting next to
the wall. Every now and again she closes her eyes,
and her fingers stop working.
She's
already been in her chair for ten hours, but
she'll be here until the bell rings
—
and that
won't
be
for
another
two
hours.
Her
name
is
Maria,
and
she
comes
from
Mexico.
She
won't
complain about her work. She won't say
that the working hours ought to be changed; she
won't
say that the working conditions
shouldn't be permitted.
Task 4

Every
year
the
British
government

about
social
trends.

Unlike the other couples, Carla
has always kept her won accounts and Adrian has
always done his
own
housework.
Neither
of
them
like
watching
television
very
much
and
they
both
like
swimming.
【原文】
When Adrian
Hutton and Carla Leone get married they will move
into a new house that they
have bought.
But what sort of life will they have What can they
expect in modern Britain Every
year the
British government publishes statistics about
social trends. Their findings show definite
patterns in the British way of life.
In
most
marriages
there
are
some
marked
differences
between
husbands
and
wives.
Working
wives,
for
example,
sleep
(on
average)
one
hour
more
a
day
than
working
husbands.
Housewives,
on
the
other
hand,
sleep
only
about
three
hours
more
every
week
than
their
working husbands. And what about
housework The government survey showed that only
1% of
men do the household chores
—
like cleaning and ironing. But they do usually keep household
accounts
and it is always men who do repairs or
improvements in the house. 30% of all marriages
end in divorce.
The
government
survey
also
looked
at
leisure
activities.
They
found
that
the
two
most
popular leisure activities in Britain
are watching television (the average family spends
20 hours a
week
in
front
of
the
TV
set)
and
going
for
walks.
Swimming
is
an
especially
popular
activity
among British women.
Carla and Adrian's life, though, will
probably be different from the average marriage.
In the
first
place
Carla
has
always
kept
her
own
accounts
and
Adrian
has
always
done
his
own
housework.
Neither of them like watching television very much
and they both like swimming.
Task

be easily burned, kitchen and garden trash
2) electrical appliances, plastic
tools, plastic toys
3) are
poisonous, cause pollution, batteries
4) bottles and glass containers that
can be recycled
5) metal
containers that can be recycled
6) furniture and bicycled

B.
1) The
garbage will be taken to a center that looks like
a clean new office building or hospital.
Inside the center, special equipment is
used to sort and process the garbage.
2) Official from cities around the
world visit Machida to see whether they can use
some of these
ideas and techniques to
solve their own garbage disposal problems.
【原文】
Disposing
of
the
garbage
we
produce
every
day
is
a
major
problem
in
cities
around
the
world. In the United States, over 160
million tons of garbage are produce every year.
Ten percent
is recycled, ten percent is
burned, and the rest is put in landfills. But
finding land for new landfills
is
becoming more difficult.
A city
that has solved this problem in an unusual way is
Machida, in Tokyo, Japan. They have
developed
a
totally
new
approach
to
garbage
disposal.
The
key
to
the
operation
is
public
cooperation.
Families must divide their garbage into six
categories:
1.
garbage
that
can
be
easily
burned
(that
is,
combustible
garbage)
such
as
kitchen
and
garden trash;
2.
noncombustible garbage, such as small electrical
appliances, plastic tools, and plastic
toys;
3.
products
that
are
poisonous
or
that
cause
pollution,
such
as
batteries
and
fluorescent
lights;
4. bottles and glass containers that
can be recycled;
5. metal
containers that can be recycled;
6. large items, such as furniture and
bicycles.
The items in
categories1 to 5 are collected on different days.
Large items are only collected
upon
request. Then the garbage is taken to a center
that looks like a clean new office building or
hospital.
Inside
the
center,
special
equipment
is
used
to
sort
and
process
the
garbage.
Almost
everything
can
be
reused:
garden
or
kitchen
trash
becomes
fertilizer;
combustible
garbage
is
burned
to
produce
electrical;
metal
containers
and
bottles
are
recycled;
and
old
furniture,
clothing,
and
other
useful
items
are
cleaned,
repaired,
and
resold
cheaply
or
given
away.
The
work provides employment for
handicapped person and gives them a chance to
learn new skills.
Nowadays,
officials from cities around the world visit
Machida to see whether they can use
some of these ideas and techniques to
solve their own garbage disposal problems.
Task
6
【答案】
1) They were
talking about Mrs. Carter.
2)
She was a tall, handsome woman who used to come
into the shop at least twice a week.
3) She lived alone in a large house on
an old farm---about three miles from the
shop.
4) He was
absolutely
certain,
otherwise
he
would
never
call
the
police.
His evidence
was
this:
First, he saw
her do it; second, he found the things in her bag;
third, she had done it before.
5) Because two young people saw her.
The shopkeeper believed that if they
didn
’
t punish her,
young
people would think that stealing
didn
’
t matter.
6)
The judge thought that it was difficult case from
a humanitarian point of view. The excuses her
found for her were: First, the woman
was old and she lived alone---she was lonely.
Second, she
wasn
’
t poor ---she was well-known for her generosity to charities and she didn
’
t need to steal.
Te items were only worth a pound
or two. Third, she pleaded not guilty and she
didn
’
t know
that she had
done it.
【原文】
Shopkeeper: I knew Mrs. Carter very
well. She was a tall, handsome woman who used to
come
into the shop at least twice a
week. She lived alone in a large house on an old
farm
—
about three miles
from here. People ask me if I am certain she did
it. The answer is yes.
I was absolutely
certain, otherwise I would never have called the
police. In the first
place, I saw her
do it. I watched her put the things into her bag
and I watched her walk
out of the
store. In the second place, we found the things in
her bag, and finally, she
had done it
before. It wasn't the first time. I think she was
in such a confused state
that she
didn’t know what she was doing, but two other
people say her —
two young
people.
We
had
to
punish
her,
otherwise
young
people
would
think
that
stealing
didn’t matter.
Judge:
It was a difficult case from a humanitarian point
of view. The woman was old and she lived
alone
—
she
was
lonely.
She
wasn’t
poor
—
she
was
well-known
for
her
generosity
to
charities
and
she
didn’t
need
to
steal.
The
items
were
only
worth
a
pound
or
two.
She
pleaded not guilty and said she didn’t
know that she had done it. From the legal point of
view the case was straightforward. The
woman stole; she was caught and reported. There
were witnesses. She had to be punished
or else no one could be punished for
stealing.
Task
7
【答案】
A.
not all modern cities are alike; modern city.
1) a single
high-density center, skyscrapers, motorways, as
far as you can see
2)
the
low-density
multi-center
city,
a
large
collection
of
a
number
of
small
centers,
shopping
centers, factories,
businesses, skyscrapers
B.
1) He thinks that
the second type( the Los Angeles model) is more
sensible.
2) He considers it
highly likely that the kind of city we know now
will completely disappear.
【原文】
Interviewer:
Would you say then that all modem cities are
pretty much alike
Urban Planner:
Quite definitely not. There seem to be two types
of modem city. In type one there
is a
single high-density centre, and that's where
you'll find the skyscrapers. This is
surrounded
by
motorways.
And
all
around
this
centre,
low-density
suburbs
stretch
as
far
as
you
can
see.
This
is
like
Houston,
or
Calgary,
or
Toronto.
Interviewer: And the second type
Urban Planner: The other type is like
Los Angeles
—
the low-density multi- centre city. As I'm sure
you
know Los
Angeles
is really
a
large
collection
of
a number
of
small
centres,
each
with
its
shopping
centres,
factories,
businesses,
and
skyscrapers
scattered
everywhere. In a way it's almost one
enormous suburb.
Interviewer: Do you. think one type is better than the other
Urban
Planner: I think the Los Angeles model is more
sensible.
Interviewer: And so do you think Los Angeles is the city of the future
Urban
Planner:
Well,
it
is
arguable
that
the
next
step
after
Los
Angeles
is
the
complete
disappearance
of
the
city,
with
no
real
centre,
where
well-designed
forms
of
