Maybe a woman is labeled talkative or is criticized for interrupting if she does it at all, because our cultureas well as many other culturesteaches that women should be quiet if they want to be “feminine.” Perhaps masculine culture encourages boys and men to dominate talk and to interrupt more often, and males who talk a lot and interrupt often are not criticized for doing so. These differences in the patterns of munication and styles of municating are studied by experts who study the effects of gender on munication. They study these effects in order to understand why misunderstandings occur between men and women in conversation. Often, it’s because their styles and patterns of conersation are so different. It is important that we learn to recognize these differences so that we can learn to municate better with people of the other gender.Deborah Tannen在她的暢銷書《你就是不明白》中指出：雖然美國(guó)男孩和女孩經(jīng)常在一起玩，但大多數(shù)時(shí)間他們都是在各自的同性別小組里玩耍。Tanen和其他這方面的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，男孩（比如8至12歲的男孩）喜歡在室外而不是室內(nèi)玩耍，而且他們是在有等級(jí)結(jié)構(gòu)的大組中玩耍。正是通過(guò)發(fā)號(hào)施令和讓其他男孩按規(guī)則游戲，男孩子們?cè)谒麄兊耐姘槟抢铽@得更高度更重要的地位。僅去年一年，被丑聞拉下臺(tái)的就有烏克蘭總理、南非副總統(tǒng)、巴西執(zhí)政黨領(lǐng)袖、肯尼亞政府的幾名地位顯赫的部長(zhǎng)以及美國(guó)眾議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)袖。 In this age of instantaneous munications, it has bee harder to hide wrongdoings:corrupt officials and business people are now exposed by private whistleblowers, government leaks, aggrieved petitors, and investigative reporters. Publicity is an important deterrent because corruption can terminate careers. During the past year alone, scandals have brought down the prime minister of the Ukraine, the deputy president of South Africa, the leader of Brazil’s ruling party, key Kenyan government ministers, and the majority leader of the . House of Representatives. But systematic changes are necessary to ensure that corruption scandals stop repeating themselves like prurient TV show reruns.領(lǐng)導(dǎo)層的變革在諸如世界銀行、經(jīng)濟(jì)合作與發(fā)展組織、聯(lián)合國(guó)、透明國(guó)際以及國(guó)際商會(huì)的呢過(guò)和總店機(jī)構(gòu)已經(jīng)展開或者即將展開。 Leadership changes have occurred or are about to occur in key entities: the World Bank, the OECD, the UN, Transparency International, and the International Chamber of Commerce. The resulting set of new leaders should get together with NGOs and leaders from other key organizations, such as exportcredit entities and internationgal lawenforcement agencies, to map out a broad anticorruption strategy and develop a consensus for nearterm and middleterm action.Unit11. 他解釋說(shuō)，成功不過(guò)是自己對(duì)藝術(shù)的執(zhí)著追求和運(yùn)氣罷了。（at the crossroads between）The new product has benefited from research work at the crossroads between biological and medical studies.，但他聲稱從未聽說(shuō)過(guò)其觀點(diǎn)。s belief，which he claimed not to have heard about before.，充分做好了準(zhǔn)備，以應(yīng)對(duì)可能發(fā)生的各種突發(fā)情況。（be impressed with）The audience was deeply impressed with the vigor and power of the speech delivered by the environmentalist.。（use time to its fullest potential）Using the limited time to its fullest potential is one of the required skills in adapting to the fastpaoed modern life.。（boundless...beyond...boundaries）These students are encouraged from a very early age to follow their own boundless interests well beyond the boundaries of conventional belief in obedient learning.Unit 2，特別是來(lái)自鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)的報(bào)告，形式還是很樂(lè)觀的。 (in favor of ) I am in favor of the argument that urbanization should be controlled properly.，我仍然熱愛我所做的一切。（be rendered）My puter does not work because it was rendered paralyzed by some viruses. ，他們會(huì)給出解答的。（inpatible with）A national curriculum framework is logically inpatible with pupilcentered learning.，卻犧牲了她們的婚姻生活。(attempt)Many attempts had been made before I successfully entered a key university.。（questionable）However,it is rather questionable whether the majority of American know the truth about China and Chinese people.。（absorb）It is essential that our children absorb this lesson into their outlook on the world.。s a lesson that all of us should take to heart.，我們不應(yīng)忽視這個(gè)事實(shí)。（granted）Many of us take it for granted that technology is the top priority in economic development. ？（how was it that）How was it that you had the right information at the right place and at the right time?。（as much…as）The demand for a raise reflects as much a desire for the recognition of their success as for more money.Unit 4 ，報(bào)告讓我們看到了嚴(yán)峻的空氣污染問(wèn)題。(as contained in)His idea on the structure of the universe,as contained in his bestknown book,has had great influence on various fields of study.，污染問(wèn)題才可能得以解決。(report)Global warming is reported to have posed a great threat to many species.，需在催化劑(catalyst)和高溫作用下才能進(jìn)行。(except)A better design is to be expected as experts are working hard on the remaining problems.，比起讀大學(xué)，自主創(chuàng)業(yè)的機(jī)遇對(duì)他更具吸引力。(give insight into … )Einstein’s discovery of the relationship between mass and energy gave the original insight into this theory.：如何給科學(xué)發(fā)明下一個(gè)定義，怎樣為科學(xué)發(fā)明在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中發(fā)揮的作用做出合理評(píng)價(jià)。t throw rubbish everywhere, control the number of cars.16,國(guó)慶假期你是怎么過(guò)的？去哪了？玩得開心嗎？How did you spend the National Day holiday?
