【原文】

senn: everybody always has this misconception that female

policemen dont do the same

thing as men do, you know. ive worked..

interviewer: thats not true?

senn: that is not true! ive worked my share of graveyard

shifts, and, you know, split

shifts, and double-back and no days off, and...

interviewer: uh-huh...

senn: ...as much as the next guy. theres no distinction used if

theres a male or female

officer on duty. two men on duty

—

ill refer to as two men,

‘cause in my

field theres no difference between the genders. were still the

same. okay, if theres

two men on duty

—

just because ones a female, she still gets in

on the same type of

call. if theres a bar disturbance downtown, then we go too.

theres been many

times where being the only officer on duty

—thats it! it‘s just

me and whoever

else is on duty in the county. they can come back me up if i

need assistance. and it

does get a little hairy. you go in there, and you have these

great big, huge

monster-guys, and theyre just drunker than skunks, and cant

see three feet in front

of them. and when they see you, they see fifteen people, and

you know... but still,

theres enough...

interviewer: thats where the uniform is important, i should

imagine.

senn: sometimes, you know. if somebody is going to…or has

a bad day, and they are

out to get a cop, you know, it doesnt matter if youre, you

know, boy, girl,

infant or anything! when youve got that cop uniform on, theyll

still take it out on

you.

interviewer: yeah...

senn: but i think theres one advantage to being a female

police officer. and that is the fact

that most men still have a little respect, and they wont smack

you as easy as they

would one of the guys.

interviewer: uh-huh...

senn: but ill tell you one thing i‘ve learned—

id rather deal with

ten drunk men that one

drunk woman any day of the week!

interviewer: well, why is that?

senn: because women are so unpredictable. you cannot ever

predict what a womans

going to do.

interviewer: hmm...

senn: especially, if shes agitated, you know.

interviewer: emotionally upset.

senn: yeah. i saw a lady one time just get mad at the guy she

was with

because he wouldnt buy her another drink

—

take off her

high heel and lay

his head wide open. yuch! oh, they can be so vicious, you

know.

【原文】

you are watching a film in which two men are having a fight.

they hit one another hard. at

the start they only fight with their fists. but soon they begin

hitting one another over the heads with chairs. and so it goes

on until one of the men crashes through a window

—

and falls

thirty feet to the ground below. he is dead

！

of course he isnt really dead. with any luck he isnt even hurt.

why? because the men who fall out of high windows or jump

from fast- moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are

professionals. they do this for a living. these men are

called ―stunt men‖. that is to say, they perform ―tricks‖.

there are two sides to their work. they actually do most of the

things you see on the screen. for example, they fall from a high

building. however, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to

empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. again, when

they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft

wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is

made of sugar!

but although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also

requires a hig

h degree of skill and training. often a stunt man‘s

success depends on careful timing. for example, when he is

blown up in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the

explosion just at the right moment.

naturally stuntmen are well-paid for their work, but they lead

dangerous lives. they often get seriously injured, and

sometimes killed. a norwegian stuntman, for example, skied

over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. his parachute

failed to open

—

and he was killed.

in spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession

for ―men only‖. men no longer dress up as women when

actresses have to perform some dangerous action. for

nowadays there are ―stunt girls‖ too

！

task 4:

【答案】

1) he started writing poetry when he was about 14 or 15.

2) he has published four books.

3) his first book came out when he was about 26. it wasn‘t

easy. he got a lot of his work rejected at first.

4) the british, or at least the english, are embarrassed by it.

they‘re embarrassed by people who reveal personal feel

ings,

emotions, thoughts and wishes.

【原文】

when thomas edison was born in the small town of milan, ohio,

in 1847, america was just beginning its great industrial

development. in his lifetime of eighty-four years, edison shared

in the excitement of america

‘s growth into a modern nation.

the time in which he lived was an age of invention, filled with

human and scientific adventures, and edison became the hero

of that age.

as a boy, edison was not a good student. his parents took him

out of school and his mother taught him at home, where his

great curiosity and desire to experiment often got him into

trouble. when he was six, he set fire to his father‘s barn ―to

see what would happen.‖ the barn burned down.

when he was ten, edison built his own chemistry laboratory.

he sold sandwiches and newspapers on the trains in order to

earn money to buy supplies for his laboratory. his parents

became accustomed, more or less, to his experiments and the

explosions which sometimes shook the house.

edison‘s work as a sales boy with the railroad introduced him

to the telegraph and, with a

friend, he built his own telegraph set.

six years later, in 1869, edison arrived in new york city, poor

and in debt. he went to work with a telegraph company. it was

there that he became interested in the uses of electricity. task

【原文】

thousands of people came to american cities before blacks

and puerto ricans did. between 1815 and 1914, more than 35

million europeans crossed the ocean to find new homes in the

united states.

most of these immigrants were ordinary people. few were

famous when they arrived. few became famous afterward.

most had lived in small villages. few had ever been far outside

them. most of them faced the same kinds of problems getting

to america: the hardship of going from their villages to a

seaport, the unpleasantness

—

even danger

—

of the long ocean

voyage, the strangeness of a new land, and of a new language,

the problem of finding a place to live, of finding work in a new,

strange country.

every immigrant had his own reasons for coming to america.

but nearly all shared one reason: they hoped for a better life.

they considered america a special place, a land of opportunity,

a land of freedom.

immigrants came from many different countries: england,

germany, denmark, finland[, russia, italy, hungary and many

others.

they came with many different religions: roman catholic,

jewish, quaker, greek orthodox. they brought many different

customs and many languages.

some people have called the united states a melting pot. after

immigrants were here awhile

—

in the melting pot

—

they became

americanized. differences were melted down. they

gradually disappeared.

some people say no. america isnt a melting pot. its more like a

salad bowl. important differences between groups of people

havent disappeared. many groups have kept their own ways,

their customs, their identities, and this has given america great

strength.

melting pot? salad bowl? perhaps theres some troth to both

ideas.

in any case, life in america was hard for most immigrants

—

especially at first. often they were cheated. often they met with

prejudice. they were often laughed at, even mistreated, by

people who themselves had been immigrants.

most of them soon found that the streets of america werent

paved with gold. they usually got the hardest jobs, and those

that paid the least, the dirtiest places to live in, the most

overcrowded tenements.

they came to be citizens of a new country; but often they felt

like people without a country. they had given up their own, but

they didnt understand their new one. they didnt really feel a

part of it. and the people of the new one didnt always welcome

them.

they came for the sake of their children, but in america their

children often rejected them. to the children, their parents

seemed old- fashioned. they didnt learn the new language

quickly. some didnt learn it at all. their parents customs made

children ashamed.

gradually, however, problems were overcome. for most

immigrants, life in america was better. it certainly was better

for their children and for their grandchildren.
