Dr. Rob Boll rushed to the old lady's rescue. Although under his direction Steve Hoblin managed to pull out a piece of turkey, the old lady was still not breathing. Dr. Boll realized that his only chance was to perform an emergency tracheotomy. Though he was only a family doctor who had never done the operation before, seeing that the patient was in such a critical situation, he went ahead with the operation using a simple switchblade. Thanks to Dr. Boll's brave heart and calm mind, the operation succeeded. Dr. Boll was so amazed by this "miracle" that he attributed the success to divine intervention.

One evening she met a tall young bird collector who asked to stay in her grandmother's house for a couple of days. The young man offered Sylvia 10 dollars in return for helping him find a rare white heron. The next day as Sylvia went with the young man to find the bird, her young heart was vaguely thrilled by a dream of love. But on the other hand, the girl's heart was torn in grief as she watched him shooting one bird after another. Just before sunrise the third day, Sylvia managed to climb to the top of a pine tree in search of the white heron, and a white heron came flying into the golden air! Deeply impressed, Sylvia decided not to give the bird's secret away for the ten dollars. The hunter left disappointed, leaving Sylvia wondering whether the birds were better friends than their hunter might have been.

8. Practice: writing
Of all the theories concerned with the origin and evolution of the universe, the Big Bang model is the best known. This model originated from Hubble's Law, which was
formed by Edwin Hubble in 1929, holding that the universe is expanding in every direction. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that, if the universe is currently growing, then the universe was smaller in the past. Along this line of reasoning, there must have been a time when the universe was an extremely small point. Out of this point the universe exploded into existence. The expansion of the universe lends strong support to the Big Bang theory. Another major line of evidence is the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB). The Big Bang model predicts that once the universe had reached 300,000 years old, photons could move about freely. The CMB, this "first light" in the universe, is a strong indication of the Big Bang. The third major evidence is that the amounts of elements observed all agree at least roughly with those predicted by the Big Bang theory. The last is that the Big Bang theory comprehensively lays down a framework for the eventual evolution of the universe. 第六单元

During the American Civil War a young man in Virginia named Carter Druse joined a Union regiment, even though as a Southerner he would be considered a traitor to the South. However, his father, in spite of his different political viewpoint, told his son always to do what he thought was his duty. Several months later, Carter was sent as a guard hidden in the bushes a few miles from his father's house to make sure that no enemy soldier would spy on the valley, where the Union Army was hiding, waiting to attack by surprise an army of Southerners. At that moment, an enemy horseman appeared on the cliff that overlooked the valley. Carter was just going to shoot the horseman when he was shocked to discover that the horseman was his father! His entire body shaking, he couldn't bring himself to open fire. But seeing that his comrades were in danger of being exposed and wiped out, he remembered what his father had told him about his duty and shot his father's horse, sending it down into the valley with its rider

One day I had a tiny accident: I broke my key in the lock when trying to unlock the door to go to work. So I called a locksmith, who came immediately. To my surprise, he insisted on being paid cash in advance, which I was incapable of providing, and declaring professional ethics, then left me alone! Thinking I could resort to other solutions, I called some twenty locksmith shops, but they all flatly refused me as I had been put on their blacklist. Then I called the janitor, my girlfriend, and my colleagues, who all turned me down for various reasons. In desperation, I shouted from the tenth floor of my building and even threw typed messages down onto the street, but nothing came of it. What was worse, my telephone was cut off for nonpayment and then they cut off my gas, electricity, and water. So I was trapped alone indoors and had to survive on my own by catching rain water, breeding insects and spiders, etc. Year after year, I have bacome used to this new lifestyle and feel relatively happy.
第八单元
1. Why did the narrator want to buy an accident insurance ticket for the next day when he didn't plan to travel?
Because the narrator believed that it was relatively safer to go traveling by rail than to stay at home.
2. Why did the man in the ticket office look puzzled?
Normally, people would buy accident insurance tickets when they went traveling, and they would not need one when they stayed at home. But the narrator's behavior went contrary to common sense —he wanted an insurance ticket for lying in bed as opposed to traveling by rail, and that seemed something quite abnormal to the man in the ticket office.
3. What does "prize" in the sentence "There was never a prize in the lot" refer to?
The word "prize" in this sentence refers to profit or reward from the accident business, after spending a good deal of money in it.
4. Why did the narrator mention that the Erie road was set down as the most murderous in the list?
The Erie road was set down as the most murderous in the list, so it would serve as a representative example. Statistics showed that the Erie had killed forty-six or twenty-six in the preceding twelve months, that is, it killed 13 to 23 persons of New York's million in six months, while in the same time 13,000 of that million died in their beds.
5. What common causes of death are listed in this story?
Apart from dying in accidents while traveling and dying naturally in beds, some other causes of death were also mentioned in this story. People may die because they are
stabbed, shot, drowned, hanged, poisoned, or meet a similarly violent death in some other popular ways, such as perishing by kerosene-lamp and hoop-skirt conflagrations, getting buried in coal-mines, falling off house-tops, breaking through church or lecture-room floors, taking patent medicines, or committing suicide in other forms. 6. Would you take seriously the advice of buying a package of insurance tickets for staying at home, and sitting up nights? Why?
Normally, I would not take the advice seriously. The author was being humorous when he gave the advice. The home is regarded as the place for us to relax after a day's hard work. It is like a harbor protecting us from all the stress outside. It is not that risky to stay at home actually. Moreover, buying insurance to stay at home would surely cost a great deal of money, because most people spend a lot of time at home. As for the advice to sit up nights, it is even more ridiculous, because we human beings simply cannot live a normal life without enough sleep.
7.What does the author intend to reveal to us in the story?
The author intends to reveal to us that thoughtless people grumble more than is fair about railroad management in the United States, and that it is unwise to invest money in the insurance business.
4. Working with words and phrases
A. Find appropriate verbs or phrases (1—8) in the text which fit the items (a—h). abcdefgh(d)1. creep a. a man who is always blowing his own horn
abcdefgh(a)2. get tired of b. in an air crash
abcdefgh(h)3. arouse c. a lot of money in real estate
abcdefgh(b)4. perish d. up the stairs
abcdefgh(g)5. grumble e. with good appetite
abcdefgh(f)6. splinter f. a wood
abcdefgh(e)7. fall to g. at the low pay
abcdefgh(c)8. invest h. widespread anger among consumers
B. Complete the following sentences with appropriate words in the box.
headline peris immensely grumbled populous raw poisoned appalling
presume cautious aroused invested stab cease aggregated
1. Some elder people enjoy Beijing opera (immensely).
2. This is a distasteful place, even the flowers seem to be (poisoned).
3. I (presume) you're tired after the long ride.
4. The sales manager felt a (cautious) optimism that the ambitious plan would be accepted by the board members.
5. The general ordered his troops to (cease) fire.
6. A newspaper (headline) caught his attention.
7. We should always keep (raw) meatseparate from cooked food.
8. The advertisement (aroused) the old lady's interest in buying the house.
9. Her refusal to support him was a real (stab) in the back.
10. They (invested) most of their time and much effort in the development of the new machine.
1. I could read of railway accidents every day —the newspaper atmosphere was foggy with them; but somehow they never came my way.
我每天都能从报纸上读到铁路事故，尽管报纸上的报道总是云里雾里的，可不知怎的，这些事故从未降临到我头上。
2. But the fact straightway suggested itself that the Erie was an immensely long road, and did more business than any other line in the country; so the double number of the killed ceased to be matter for surprise.
然而很明显的是，伊利线极其漫长，而且是全国最为繁忙的线路，因此，两倍的致死人数就不足为怪了。
3. So we will let it stand as a fair presumption that this will hold good all over the country, and that consequently 25,000 out of every million of people we have must die every year.
因此，我们可以假设这个比例适用于全国人口的状况，那么，每年每一百万人口中会有2.5万人死亡。
4. And my advice to all people is: don't stay at home any more than you can help; but when you have got to stay at home a while, buy a package of those insurance tickets and sit up nights. You cannot be too cautious.
而且我要奉劝所有的人，尽可能少呆在家里，如果非要在家中小住，那就买一叠保险然后通宵打坐。小心点总是没错。
5. The moral of this composition is that thoughtless people grumble more than is fair about railroad management in the United States.
本文说明：那些不动脑筋的人，老是抱怨美国铁路经营管理不安全，这是很不公平的。
1. Once the food chain is destroyed, [chances are that many animals will be faced with extinction] (许多动物可能面临灭绝的危险) and mankind will have to face the challenge of survival as well.
2. [The fact straightway suggested itself] (事实明摆着是) that the process is practical, and it also can bring significance benefits to the economy, society, and environmental protection.
3. According to official figures, China's investment [amounts to over 45% of its GDP] (高达GDP的45％以上) and is growing at 25% a year.
4. Not until the balance of the ecosystem is destroyed do human beings feel shocked. Therefore, [the importance of environmental protection can't be over-emphasized] (环保的重要性再怎么强调也不为过).
5. While traveling in the USA she took every chance to go shopping and soon found herself [buying more than necessary] (买了一些不需要的东西).
8. Practice: writing
In the story, the narrator wanted accident insurance not for traveling by rail, but for lying at home in bed, which went contrary to common sense —there always exists the likelihood of losing one's life in traveling by air, by train, or in any vehicle. This is because the narrator found that the peril lay not in traveling, but in staying at home. The narrator compares the danger of traveling in a vehicle, especially by train, with that of lying in bed. Availing himself of considerable hard statistics he shows the reader that chances are greatest for human beings to die in bed. Therefore, the narrator suggests it would be wise of us to stay away from home unless we have to, unless we have bought ourselves a package of insurance tickets and sit up nights without going
to bed.

Unit 1 一个大学男孩，不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动，被一份许诺轻松赚大钱的广告吸引了。男孩们很快就明白，如果事情看起来好得不像真的，那多半确实不是真的。 轻轻松松赚大钱 “你们该看看这个，”我向我们的两个读大学的儿子建议道。“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话，这兴许是一种办法。”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。塑料袋上印着一条信息说，需要招聘人投递这样的袋子，这活儿既轻松又赚钱。（“轻轻松松赚大钱!”）“我不在乎失不失尊严，”大儿子回答说。 “我可以忍受，”他的弟弟附和道。 “看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子，真使我痛心，”我说。 孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。我听了很高兴，便离城出差去了。午夜时分，我已远离家门，在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。电话铃响了，是妻子打来的。她想知道我这一天过得可好。 “好极了!”我兴高采烈地说。“你过得怎么样?”我问道。 “棒极了!”她大声挖苦道。“真棒!而且这还仅仅是个开始。又一辆卡车刚在门前停下。” “又一辆卡车?” “今晚第三辆了。第一辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的广告；第二辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的广告。我不知道这一辆装的啥，但我肯定又是四千份什么的。既然这事是你促成的，我想你或许想了解事情的进展。” 我之所以受到指责，事情原来是这样：由于发生了一起报业工人罢工，通常夹在星期日报纸里的广告插页，必须派人直接投送出去。公司答应给我们的孩子六百美金，任务是将这些广告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户人家去。 “不费吹灰之力!”我们上大学的大儿子嚷道。 “六百块!”他的弟弟应声道，“我们两个钟点就能干完!” “西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页，”妻子告诉我说，“现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。就在我们说话的当儿，两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。这么多广告，我们可怎么办?” “你让孩子们快干，”我指示说。“他们都是大学生了。他们自己的事得由他们自己去做。” 第二天中午，我回到旅馆，看到一份紧急留言，要我马上给妻子回电话。她的声音高得很不自然，而且有些颤抖。家里又运到了好几卡车的广告插页。“有百货公司的，廉价商店的，杂货店的，食品店的，汽车行的，等等。有些像整本杂志那么厚。我们这里有数十万页，说不定是几百万页的广告!我们家整个房子从东墙到西墙，从南墙到北墙统统堆满了广告，一堆又一堆，比你大儿子还要高。现在只剩下一点点空间，刚够一个人走进去，从十一种插页中各取一份，卷在一起，套上橡皮筋，再塞进一只塑料袋内。我们的塑料袋足够供应全美所有的外卖餐厅!”她越讲声音越响，几乎震耳欲聋。“这么多的广告必须在星期日早晨七点以前统统送出去。”
