L3 GO-GO AMERICAN What is the Americans attitude towards time? Give necessary examples.

In the United States, many people keenly feel the shortness of each lifetime. They are aware that once a day in their life is gone, it will never come back. And Americans believe no one stands still .If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. So they value time and want every minute to count.

This attitude towards time is shown in the fast pace of life in the country. Whatever they do they always seem to be in a rush. You find people hurrying to get where they are going. They hurry to eating places for a mea and finish it as quickly as possible. Also Americans do what they can to save time. They produce a lot of labour-saving devices such as clothes-and dish-washers; they rapidly communicate through phone calls, telex and e-mail and cut down on personal contacts.

So he picked Snyder’s gun up and decided to hold off the other from the water until night when a ship saved them.

L5 Are You Giving Your Kids Too Much?

Why parents overindulge their children?

There are several reasons to explain why parents overindulge their children. One fairly common reason is that parents overindulge their children out of a sense of guilt. Parents who both hold down full-time jobs may feel guilty about the amount of time they spend away from their children and may attempt to compensate by showering them with material possessions. Other parents overindulge because they want their children to have everything they had while growing up, along with those things the parents yearned for but didn’t get. Still others are afraid to say no to their children’s requests for toys for fear that their children will feel unloved or will be ridiculed if thy don’t have the same playthings their friends have.

L6 Culture Shock

What are four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed?

Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh appeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive. When you stay in a new

environment for a while, you move to stage two-the crisis stage-in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in. In relationship, you notice annoying habits; in a new country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. If you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase: recovery. In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. Finally, when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture, you will move to the fourth phase: adjustment.

L8 The Model Millionaire(II)

Retell the story The Model Millionaire in about 150 words, concluding your retelling with a one-sentence comment.

Hughie Erskine was a charming young man who was in love with a nice girl called Laura Merton. auras father made it clear to Hughie that he would not marry his daughter to him until Hughie had ten thousand pounds.

One day, Hughie went to see his artist friend Alan Trevor in his studio. There he found his friend painting a beggar, who was an old man in rags. Hughie felt so sorry for the poor model that he gave him the only pound he had.

The old model was actually a millionaire. When he heard all about Hughie and Laura, and their problem, he had a cheque for ten thousand pounds delivered to him the very next day. The couple were happily married, and the beggar attended their wedding. The story shows that a genuine millionaire is not one who has, but who give.

L9 Only Three More Days

The author got a solution finally. What was the solution? Was it risky?

He laid out the diaries in two big steel suitcases. Over them he placed a number of his broadcast scripts, each page of which had been stamped by the military and civilian censors as passed for broadcast. On top he put a few General Staff maps he had picked up from friends. Then he phoned the Gestapo Headquarters to say he had a couple of suitcases full of his dispatches, broadcasts and notes that he wanted to take out of the country. As he was flying off early the next day, there would be no time for Gestapo official at the airfield to go over the contents. Could they take a look now, if he brought them over; and if they approved, put a Gestapo seal on the suitcases so he wouldn’t be held up at the airport?

Yes, it was risky. He thought life in the Third Reich had always been risky. It was worth a try.

L10 The Washwoman

Describe the situation that“I”sa w the old washwoman for last time.

toward the old woman and helped her unload her bag. She was even thinner now, more bent. Her head shook from side to side as though she were saying no. She could not utter a clear word, but mumbled something with her sunken mouth and pale lips. After the old woman had recovered somewhat, she told us that she had been ill badly. But as soon as she was able to stand on her feet once more, she began her washing. She said “I could not rest easy in my bed because of the wash. The wash would not let me die.……I don’t want to be a burden on anyone!”

L11 How I Served My Apprenticeship

Why was Andrew Carnegie so proud of the one dollar and twenty cents--the first pay he brought home?

Carnegie was very proud of the one dollar and twenty cents he earned for the first time in his life when he was only twelve. The money, though small in amount, meant a great deal.

First, when he got his first pay he felt that he had grown up. He was no longer a boy who had to depend on his parents; he had become a man who was able to help support the family, a contributing member. This was important because at that time life was hard for the family and it was difficult for his parents to manage alone.

Also he though the money was the direct reward of honest manual labor. It represented a week of very hard work. This money gave him the greatest satisfaction of being rewarded for what he had done.

L12 A Friend of the Environment

Why did Rachel Carson write the Silent Spring? What’s the content of it? Because she felt that the wonders of Nature are precious and permanent, and much of Nature was forever beyond the destruction of man. But then she discovered she was wrong. She learned with sadness that little in Nature is truly beyond the tampering reach of man. Then, she wrote the book Silent Spring to sound a startling warming to mankind and the book showed quite clearly that man was endangering himself and everything else on this planet by his indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides. As her title suggests, Miss Carson was saying that there might come a springtime that would indeed be silent because the birds, as well as other creatures, and plants would have been destroyed by the man-made poisons used to kill crop-threatening insects.

L13 Who Shall Dwell?

In the story Who shall Dwell?, how did the fathers attitude towards the neighbours change? What brought about the change?

dashed outside and pushed the girl in. her act set him thinking hard. Just a moment before the first bomb struck he made a big decision. After giving his elder son a few instructions, he stepped out and shoved two children into the shelter. He stood beside his wife, ready to spend the last minute with her.

Then in the third grade a teacher wrote in the school record that he was uncooperative and slow. Since then he had never got any encouragement from his teachers. Gradually, the child had no more confidence left. He never smiled nor talked much. He had no friends; he had never belonged to a club, never played on a team and never held an office. He came to school by himself and left by himself. In class, he would sit back in the last seat. Finally he became silent and lonely. He became nothing.

L15 Bribery--An Inevitable Evil?

What are the major forms of bribery?

Bribery can be classified into three broad categories. The first category consisits of large amounts of money paid for political purposes or to secre major contracts. For example, a certain American company offered big sums of money to support a U.S. presidential candidate when it was under investigation. Also in order to get big contracts, such payments are often made to ruling families or their close advisers.

The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project. In such cases, the money is often paid to key government officials concerned.

The third category involves payments made in certain countries to make a business deal easy to get approved. For instance, a foreign company may pay to get permission to import equipment. A common type of this category is the facilitating payment to clear cargoes. These are smaller sums of money paid to customs officials.
