Personal transportation in china is mostly by walking and bicycle. In America, it is mostly by car. Most families have two cars, one for the husband and one for the wife. This allows them complete independence from each other so they can have jobs a great distance from each other.

A tyical day for an American couple is to get up at 6:30 am, take a shower, eat breakfast, and leave for work by 7:30 am. The workday is usually eight hours from 8:00 am. to 5:00 pm. with an hour for lunch. The husband will go one direction in his car and the wife will go another direction in her car. They return home at 5:30 pm. they do not eat lunch together unless their jobs are very near to each other.

In large cities, one or both persons will take a bus or the subway to work.. If they drive their cars, they may have to pay a lot of money for parking the car in the city. In a few cities, some workers come by train.

To travel from city to city, most Americans use the plane unless the distance is very short. The plane is very quick and a common American phrase is “Time is money.”This means that Americans do not want to waste time travelling when they work.

A few cities located near the water use boats called ferries to bring people to work. The ferry can bring a car, a truck, bicycle, or a walking passenger across water.

The correct use of transportation improves American life by saving time. They carefully choose the best way to get to work so they have more time for family or leisure.

American society is called a mobile society because it is always on the move. The choice for transportation is a very important decision for every family.

A Japanese toy maker says that they’ve developed a gadget(小器具)that translates d og barks (吠)into human languages and plan to begin selling the gadgets—under the na me of Bowlingual—in the US pet stores and present shops this summer.

People laughed when the Japanese toy maker Takara company made the world’s first dog-human translation machine last year .But about 300,000 of them have been sold since it was on sale in Japan last year .Far bigger sales will be expected once an English lan guage translation machine for dogs comes to America in August .The United States is ho me to about 67 million dogs ,more than six times the number in Japan.

“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much ,so we don’t think they’ll mi nd spending $ 120 on this gadget”, the Takara marketing manager said before the journali sts at a meeting in Atlanta. Bowlingual ,one of US Time magazine’s coolest inventions of 2002, has two parts .A microphone is tied to the dog’s collar(项圈)and sends out soun d information to the gadget held by the owner .Then the translation is done in the gadget by a database (数据库)with every kind of barks .Those barks show six feelings—happi ness, sadness ,disappointment ,anger ,

declaration and desire .Each of the feelings is then transl ated into words like “Let’s play.”“Look at me !” or “Spend more time with me.”

Takara says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget .One thing that see ms certain is that the markets for animal translation machines will probably be a dog’s w orld since Takara has no plans to develop such a gadget for cats . “They are too unpredi ctable (反复无常),”the marketing manager said.

A.was invented in Japan B.has developed quickly

Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey (曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said:” This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia,after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United

英文报刊阅读小技巧

英文报刊阅读小技巧 报刊是人们了解国内外大事的窗口,尤其是在社会经济文化迅速发展,国际交流日益频繁的今天,报刊的作用就更为突出。在我国,越来越多的读者想利用英文报刊了解国内外时事,开拓视野,增长知识。如何快速而准确地获得英文报刊的信息,已成为广大读者急需解决的问题。为此,本文着重谈谈阅读英文报刊时需注意的几个方面。 首先,必须掌握英文报刊标题的语言特点。标题是新闻报道的点睛之笔,通常以鲜明的黑体大字在文章的抢眼处标出,它既要扣住全文要点,突出中心,又要新颖醒目,其作用不可忽视。但对不少读者来说,首先碰到的问题是:不少标题奇特,无法一看就懂。究竟是什么东西妨碍顺利阅读和准确理解标题呢?原因在于新闻报道作为一种独特的文体,它的文法和用词与一般的书面英语有很大的区别。这一点在标题的使用上显得尤为突出。因此,对英语学习者来说,掌握标题的语言特点,是读懂标题的关键。新闻报道标题的主要特点是短而精,力求删繁就简,具体表现在两个方面:一是省略某些语法功能的虚词;二是标题的时态有其特定的习惯用法。归纳起来,其语言特点见之于下: 1.在不发生歧义的情况下,冠词往往被省略。例如: Boy,7,killed by Ejection From Cockpit of Navy Jet(The Washington Post)Standard English:A Boy,7,killed by Ejection From the Cockpit of a Navy Jet Chinese Population Is Put at 1.3 Billion(International Herald Tribune)Standard English:The Chinese Population Is Put at 1.3 Billion 2.系动词经常被省略。例如: Joblessness Still a Problem(China Daily) Standard English:Joblessness Is Still a Problem Forecast of Mexican quake accurate,but ignored(Science News)Standard English:The Forecast of Mexican quake is accurate,but it is ignored 3.连词、代词、引导词也会省略。例如: Kings,sheiks rap USSR,US(China Daily) Standard English:Kings and sheiks rap USSR and US Anne and baby are well(South China Morning Post) Standard English:Anne and her baby are well Far fewer pitclosures and job losses likely than rumored(The Times)

三大牛人看外国文献的方法 1.牛人一 (从phd到现在工作半年,发了12篇paper, 7篇first author.) 我现在每天还保持读至少2-3篇的文献的习惯.读文献有不同的读法.但最重要的自己总结概括这篇文献到底说了什么,否则就是白读,读的时候好像什么都明白,一合上就什么都不知道,这是读文献的大忌,既浪费时间,最重要的是,没有养成良好的习惯,导致以后不愿意读文献. 1. 每次读完文献(不管是细读还是粗读), 合上文献后,想想看,文章最重要的take home message是什么, 如果不知道,就从abstract, conclusion里找, 并且从discuss里最好确认一下. 这样一来, 一篇文章就过关了. take home message其实都不会很多, 基本上是一些concepts, 如果你发现你需要记得很多,那往往是没有读到重点. 2. 扩充知识面的读法, 重点读introduction, 看人家提出的问题, 以及目前的进展类似的文章, 每天读一两篇,一个月内就基本上对这个领域的某个方向有个大概的了解.读好的review也行, 但这样人容易懒惰. 3. 为了写文章的读法, 读文章的时候, 尤其是看discussion的时候, 看到好的英文句型, 最好有意识的记一下,看一下作者是谁,哪篇文章,哪个期刊, 这样以后照猫画虎写的时候,效率高些.比自己在那里半天琢磨出一个句子强的多. 当然,读的多,写的多,你需要记得句型就越少.其实很简单,有意识的去总结和记亿, 就不容易忘记. 2.科研牛人二告诉研究生怎么看文献,怎么写论文 一、先看综述 先读综述,可以更好地认识课题,知道已经做出什么,自己要做什么,,还有什么问题没有解决。 对于国内文献一般批评的声音很多.但它是你迅速了解你的研究领域的入口,在此之后,你再看外文文献会比一开始直接看外文文献理解的快得多。而国外的综述多为本学科的资深人士撰写,涉及范围广,可以让人事半功倍。 二、有针对地选择文献 针对你自己的方向,找相近的论文来读,从中理解文章中回答什么问题,通过哪些技术手段来证明,有哪些结论?从这些文章中,了解研究思路,逻辑推论,学习技术方法. 1.关键词、主题词检索: 关键词、主题词一定要选好,这样,才能保证你所要的内容的全面。因为,换个主题词,可以有新的内容出现。 2. 检索某个学者: 查SCI,知道了某个在这个领域有建树的学者,找他近期发表的文章。 3. 参考综述检索: 如果有与自己课题相关或有切入点的综述,可以根据相应的参考文献找到那些原始的研究论文。 4. 注意文章的参考价值: 刊物的影响因子、文章的被引次数能反映文章的参考价值。但要注意引用这篇文章的其它文章是如何评价这篇文章的 三、如何阅读文献 1.注重摘要:摘要可以说是一个论文的窗口。多数文章看摘要,少数文章看全文。真正有用的全文并不多,过分追求全文是浪费,不可走极端。当然只看摘要也是不对的。多数文章题目、摘要简单浏览后,直接把几个Figure及Title与legend一看,一般能掌握大部分。 2.通读全文:读第一遍的时候一定要认真,争取明白每句的大意,能不查字典最好先不查字典。因为读论文的目的并不是学英语,而是获取信息,查了字典以后思维会非常混乱,往往读完全文不知所谓。可以在读的过程中将生字标记,待通读全文后再查找其意思。 3.归纳总结:较长的文章,容易遗忘。好在虽然论文的句子都长,但每段的句数并不多,可以每一段用一个词组标一个标题。 4.确立句子的架构,抓住主题: 读英文原版文献有窍门的。我们每个单词都认识读完了却不知他在说什么,这是最大的问题。在阅读的时候一定要看到大量的关系连词,他们承上启下引领了全文。中国人喜欢罗列事实,给出一个观点然后就是大量的事实,这也是中文文献的特点,我们从小都在读这样的文章,很适应。西方人的文献注重逻辑和推理,从头到尾是非常严格的,就像GRE里面的阅读是一样的,进行的是大量重复、新旧观点的支持和反驳,有严格的提纲,尤其是好的杂志体现得越突出。读每一段落都要找到他的主题,往往是很容易的,大量的无用

Part Ⅱ Read the following passage and answer the Questions A 5-34 (1% for each,30%) and B 35-44 (2% for each,20%) A Tuition Reform for Higher Education Chinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees. Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year's figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way. In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non —compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.

英语报刊阅读技巧

一、简短小词(名词&动词) 英语新闻标题总是力求用有限的字数 来表达新闻的内容,为此,在措词上尤其要狠下功夫,选词尽可能经简达意、简短明了,偏爱选用那些短小精悍或字母最少的动词。因为短小易懂、形象生动的措词不仅能增强新闻的简洁性和可读性,而且还能节省版面篇幅。如表示“破坏”或“损坏”一词意义的动词,标题一般不用damage,而用一些较之简短的词,如hit、harm、hurt、ruin或wreck等。又如表示“放弃”这一概念的动词,标题一般不用abandon,而用drop、give up、quit、skip或yield等,表示“爆炸”之类的动词意义时,一般不用explode,而用blast、crash、ram或smash等词。简而言之,英语新闻标题大都喜欢选用字形短小、音节不多而意义又比较广泛的词。 动词: aid=assist(帮助,援助) alter=change or modify(改变) ask=inquire(询问)

assail=denounce(谴责) axe=dismiss or reduce(解雇,减少) ban=prohibit or forbid(禁止) bar=prevent(防止,阻止) bare=expose or reveal(暴露,揭露) blast=explode(爆炸) begin=commence(开始) bid=attempt(努力) bilk=cheat(欺骗) bolt=desert or abandon(放弃) boost=increase, promote ,push forward(增加,提高) check=examine(检查) claim=cause the death of ...(夺去……的生命) clash=disagree strongly(发生分歧,争议) curb=control or restrict(控制) dip=decline or decrease(下降) ease=lessen(减轻,缓和) end=terminate(结束,中止) flay=criticize(批评)
