1.The slogans and characters in the public service messages are more than memorable---they raise awareness, inspire individuals to take action. 2.The outcomes of collegiate education should be measured by the student's performance in classroom as they become proficient in the use of knowledge, acquire a solid basic education and become competent in a specific filed. 3.The beautiful campus provides an ideal space for contemplation and inspiration to aid us in that journey. 4.You will not be expected to undertake this intellectual journey on your own.

It's long been accepted that women pick out most of the clothes for the family and decide on home furnishings, but this study of 51000U.S.households showed some surprising facets of purchasing decisions broken down by gender. Men defer to women when it comes to choosing movies, restaurants and television shows, according to the survey. The data indicated that women also decide where to sit in a movie theatre, where to shop for food and which guests come to the family home. In fact, the only areas where men had any clout involved personal electronics purchases, the family car and setting household budgets. The gender differences in purchasing could have implications for advertising, media and education companies, said NPD chief analyst Marshal Cohen, who spearheaded the research. "Anyone who's managing a brand, marketing a product or working for an advertising agency needs to be conscientious in the shifts in consumer dynamics," Cohen said. 10.I found it hard to identify with any of the characters in the films. 11.After months of disappointment, his perseverance was finally rewarded. 12.She made her meaning crystal clear. 13.Like most married couples they have had their ups and downs, but life is likethat. 14.After this cold winter, everyone is yearning for the weather to change. 15.This advertisement is calculated to appeal to children. 16.This riot is only manifestation of people's discontent. 17.Primitive man made himself primitive tools from sharp stones and animal bones. 18.The automobile was improved very rapidly after it was invented and soon displaced horses.

第六单元 Passage One 1.Fourteen years of higher education and a handful of Ivy League degrees, and there I was, stiff and stupid, struck dumb by my own dumbness. 接受了十四年的大学教育并有着几所春藤大学的学位的我，又呆又傻地站在那儿，被自己的沉默惊得目瞪口呆。 2.To consider that while some opportunities are being created, others are being canceled and that while some abilities are being developed, others are being crippled is, within this context, not only outrageous, but inconceivable. 但在这个背景下，如果认为它创造了一些机会，却也毁灭了一些机会，培养了一些能力，却也削弱了一些能力，这不仅离谱，更是难以置信的。 3.There is nothing wrong with taking pride in one’s intellect or knowledge. There is something wrong with the smugness and self-congratulation that elite schools connive at. 对自己的智慧或者知识感到自豪没有任何不对的地方，问题在于名牌大学所纵容的沾沾自喜和自我吹捧。 4.Not the most abject academic failure, not the most heinous act of plagiarism, not even threatening a fellow student with bodily harm—I’ve heard of all three—will get you expelled. 不管是最不幸的学业失败，还是最可恶的抄袭劣行，甚至用身体伤害威胁其他同学，这三种情况我都听说过，都不会让你被开除。 5.Long before they got to college, they turned themselves into world-class hoop-jumpers and teacher-pleasers, getting A’s in every class no matter how boring they found the teacher or how pointless the subject, racking up eight or 10 extracurricular activities no matter what else they wanted to do with their time. 在他们进入大学之前很久就已经把自己变成了世界一流的俯首帖耳、讨好老师的小爬虫，不管他们觉得这个老师多么乏味或者这门课多么没有意义，仍然会每门课上都得优秀，不管他们多么想用课余时间做些自己想做的事，他们还是尽量去参加八到十个课外活动。 Passage Two 6.Certainly many neurotic boomer parents—and their stressed-out，resume-building teenagers—assume that it is always better to choose Harvard over Big State U. 当然很多出生期高峰的父母—和他们过度紧张，忙着增加阅历的青少年孩子们—想当然的认为，选择哈佛永远比选州立大学好。 7.It’s true that big law firms, major teaching hospital, and investment banks—heck, even the offices of FORTUNE—are stuffed with Ivy Leaguers. It’s also true that if you want a career at what passes for the American establishment—Sullivan & Cromwell, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs—a gilt-edged diploma is a distinct
