Unit 10 Agriculture

In-Class Reading The History of Agriculture

参考译文

农业的发展史

没人确切地知道农业是何时何地开始的。但是目前科学家们认为，它始于8,000 年以前或更早。那时，人们发现那些与其他垃圾一起被扔在垃圾堆里的野草籽长势良好，结出了更多的草籽。在现代人眼里，这似乎只是小事一桩，但是对于原始人而言，这确实是革命性的发现。在那以前，他们的生活全靠打猎、捕鱼、寻找可食用的野生植物时的运气。能够种植自己所需的一部分粮食，意味着挨饿的威胁不复存在。

随着早期的人们学会种植庄稼，他们渐渐地越来越依靠农业，而更少地依靠打猎为生。除了种植野草（现今的谷类作物就是由它们演化而来的），他们还学会了种植很多其他植物，也就是今天蔬菜的前身。

原始的耕种方法十分简单。用尖尖的木棍在地上戳出小洞，种子就种在这些小洞里。收割谷物用的是石刀或者有刃的石镰刀，有时候则将谷物连根拔起。锹和锄头的发明使耕作成为可能，依靠它们来松土和除草。起先，地里的工作也许是由妇女来完成的，而男人们则防备动物的袭击，偶尔打打猎，并保护村庄使之不受敌人侵犯。

最初，饲养家畜是为了打猎（例如养狗）或者用来作为食物（例如养牛、羊和猪）。最终动物能够被用来驮运重物或者拉犁。这种所谓的犁不过是用来松土的分叉的棍子而已，它们效率不高，但比手持工具要省力，而且耕的地要多。

埃及人、美索不达米亚人、美洲印第安人和中国人几乎在同一时期形成了先进的农耕系统。他们知道施肥、灌溉和排水的重要性，并且通过精选良种，培育了动植物的改良品种。

18 世纪的英国在农业方面取得了一些进步，发明了马拉的农业机械，形成了先进的庄稼轮作和施肥体系，还培育了优良的牛羊品种。此时，欧洲人正在探索新大陆。他们带回了以前欧洲不曾有过的庄稼——土豆、白薯、玉米、南瓜和西红柿。人们发现，土豆这种植物非常适宜于潮湿阴冷的气候以及在贫瘠的土壤中生长。很快它就成为北欧的一种主要食物。

20 世纪，农业主要在化学、育种和应用技术这三个领域得到了发展。现代农业十分依赖化学肥料和虫害的控制，还用其他一些化学品来控制植物疾病和杂草的生长。新的小麦、水稻和其他主要作物品种的培育是农业上最重要的研究成果之一。各大洲的科学家们都采用了这些新的品种并在继续改良它们。

研究上的突破会很快导致农业的又一巨大变化或者“革命”。科学家们正通过改变基因来改变生物。通过“基因重组”，自然本身会很快被改变。食用作物会得到改良，以便更好地战胜虫害和杂草，还能少用毒性更小的杀虫剂。作物可以年年高产。改变基因也可以改良谷类和其他食用作物的营养价值。这些变化会使耕种更方便，作物更高产。

遗传学的新革命带来的最重要影响，也许是很多人都能从这场革命中获益，

而不仅仅是发达国家的人们。那些用不起拖拉机、肥料和其他现代农业所需的昂贵辅助设备的国家，能够在一个更为简单的可持续发展的农业体系中利用这些改良措施。

还有很多事情有待于人们去做。人们必须设法使用更少的毒性更小的化学制品来生产食物。前景光明的方法之一是找到一些天然的生物控制剂来替代现在的化学制品。这样的改良措施以前曾经出现过，目前也还在进一步开发中。它们已使得农业成为世界上最高效、最先进的产业之一。

After-Class Reading Farming For the Future 参考译文

未来农业

1现在面临贫困和饥饿的人一年比一年多，地球资源遭到的破坏也一年比一年严重。问题极为严重，不过许多专家认为情况还没有到绝望的地步。要解决这些问题就需要我们对农业、食品和整个地球的看法做出重大改变。

2首先，世界各地的农民都必须研究开发对环境破坏性较小的耕作模式。重要的一步是把单一作物改为多种作物混合耕种。种植多种不同作物能改善土壤，有助于防止水土流失。通过植树来保护耕地不受风害也能防止水土流失。农民改善土壤的另一种办法是避免深耕。实际上，如果方法得当，只需浅耕即可。3只要土地耕作比较得当，农民就没有必要使用化肥，而可以使用天然的动植物肥料。多种作物混合耕种后，农民就能少用有毒的化学杀虫剂。他们还可以用生物手段控制病虫害。

4农民还能帮助节约地球上珍贵的水资源和石油资源。为了节约用水，农民可以多种节水型作物以取代常规的小麦和玉米。农民还可以使用更为节水的灌溉系统。为了节约石油，他们可以利用生物气发电机。生物气发电机可以用农场上的蔬菜和动物的垃圾和粪便提供燃料。在欠发达的国家里，生物气发电机能减少对木柴的需求，从而也有助于保护森林。

5在欠发达的国家里，小农场主们需要获取帮助。他们需要掌握更能适应当地条件的作物的有关知识。他们还需要掌握怎样控制水土流失和最充分利用自己的资源。给水道植草、种植树木或灌木防风林、改进作物基因等都有利于防止水土流失。不进行土地和经济改革，这些农场主永远不会成功；这些应该是各国政府和国际机构工作的重心。目前施行的工业和经济作物政策有时会把情况弄得更糟，这就有必要对制定政策的人进行适当的教育。

6工业化国家可以用他们的经济资源和技术知识帮助促成这些变化。他们还可以对本国的政策做些改变。目前，这些国家浪费了很多食品。在欧洲和北美，每年都有成吨成吨的水果和奶制品被饭店、学校、家庭等扔掉。这些国家人们的饮食习惯也可做些改变。例如，人们常吃那些从遥远地方运来的食物，而不吃本地产的食物。进口食品的运输加重了全球的污染问题。工业化国家的人们还食用大量的肉类，尤其是牛肉。事实上，这些国家所生产的粮食有很大一部分都用来喂牛了。假如这些国家的人们少吃些肉，就会有更多的粮食提供给世界上正在挨饿的人们。

7理想的农业体系应当是可持续性的，也就是说，其生产力水平应该能够长期保持下去，且对环境的破坏要小得多。这是一场必须打赢的战争，因为无论是对农民还是对农产品消费者而言，这场战争只有赢者。

Part One Preparation

1 Being a Farmer

Sample

?I wish to grow fruit like apples, oranges, strawberries and grapes, not only because fruits are my favorite food, but also because I’d like to develop my leisure farm by providing fruit-picking activities. I also want to raise dogs. As we know, dogs are very loyal and friendly. They can protect us and even be trained to do things for us.

?I would like to raise cows on my farm. You don’t have to provide special food to feed the cows. They feed on grass in the field. With the milk they produce, I could make dairy products like butter, yogurt and so on. I also would like to grow a variety of flowers to make my farm very beautiful. When I have more flowers than I need for the farm, I could sell the extra flowers.

?To me, growing vegetables is the best choice. I like squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and other leafy greens. I’ll try organic farming. Currently prices for organic vegetables are rising constantly. What’s more, we don’t know whether the organic vegetables sold at stores are organic in its real sense. If we grow vegetables ours elves, we’ll be 100 percent sure the vegetables are organic and healthy. I’ll provide cheaper and healthier vegetables to people.

Then, Everest pulled the tractor out. Then he pulled the plow up behind the tractor.

“You mean you can pull both together?” said the farmer. Everest nodded his head up and down. The farmer was amazed! So he hooked the plow to the tractor. Then he hooked the tractor to the horse. And Everest pulled the tractor and the tractor pulled the plow.

Together they plowed the field in the fastest time ever. Everest was still the biggest and the strongest and now the happiest horse in the whole world.

Additional activity

Prepare a report about life on a farm. You may include the following:

1Where was the farm?

2What kinds of crops did the farmers grow?

3What kinds of farm animals did they raise?

4How long did they work in the field every day?

5What kinds of tools did they use?

6Did the children help with farm work?

7At what age did the children start to work on the farm?

8What is your general impression of their lives as farmers?

Sample

?I grew up in a village in the southeastern part of China. Villagers grew rice, corn and various kinds of vegetables. They raised sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks. Every day, the villagers went to work in the fields at about 7 in the morning and they got home at about 6 in the evening. Most of the farm work was done by manual labor. I started to help work in the fields when I was 10 years old. Life on the farm was very tough.

?My grandparents lived in a small village in the north of China. People there used to grow rice, wheat, corn, peanuts and soybeans as well as some vegetables. They also raised pigs, chickens, ducks and geese. I still remember

how surprised I was when I first saw a goose egg. It was so big. I remember that people there worked all day long, all year round. But most of them were still poor. They could depend only on what they got from the fields, which depended on the weather and their luck. Many children couldn’t afford to go to school.

They started to help with housework or farm work at a very early age. I haven’t been back to that village for years. I hope their lives are better now.

Part Two Reading-Centered Activities

In-Class Reading

Pre-Reading

Sample

?In my opinion, one of the major agricultural advances in the 20th century was mechanization. Machines like the combine and the tractor were used to replace animal and manual labor. That not only reduced labor requirements but also greatly increased the efficiency.

?I think the application of artificial fertilizers was one influential agricultural development in the last century. Although people are now more aware of the harm such fertilizers may have brought to the envi ronment, it can’t be denied that modern farming depends heavily on chemicals to increase the production and control weeds and harmful insects.

Passage Reading

Words, Phrases and Grammatical Points

1The invention of the spade and the hoe made it possible to cultivate the ground by loosening the soil and keeping down weeds. (Lines 5-8, Para. 3)

本句中it 为形式宾语，真正的宾语是to cultivate the ground by loosening the soil and keeping down weeds。相同的用法另见：

They were inefficient, but they made it possible to cultivate more land with less work than with hand tools. (Lines 5-7, Para. 4)

2variety (Line 6, Para. 5):

Here the word “variety” is used as a countable noun, meaning “a type of thing, such as a type of plant or animal”.

e.g. I) The lake has more than 20 varieties of fish.

II) The writer seems to have created a new variety of humor.

“Variety” can also be used as an uncountable noun, meaning “the differences

within a group, set of

actions, etc. that make it interesting”.

e.g. I)We demanded more variety for our food.

II) Susan’s idea of freedom was to have variety in her lifestyle.

The phrase “a variety of sth.” means “a lot of things of the same type that are

different from each other in some way”.

e.g. I) The students come from a variety of different

backgrounds. II) The city has a variety of good

shops and supermarkets.

? To me, the appearance of genetically-modified (GM) food is a major breakthrough in agriculture. As we know, the world population is continuously

increasing and food supply for the growing population will be a major challenge

in the years to come. GM food may arrive in time. Certain plants such as corn and soybeans have been modified to enhance their tolerance to drought or

improve their nutritional content. Other plants are improved to be less

vulnerable to insects and diseases, so fewer chemicals and pesticides are needed

to grow them, leading to a sustainable agricultural system. So I’m quite positive

toward this kind of revolution in agriculture.

? Since genetically-modified (GM) foods have not been tested for long periods of time, there’ll be potential health risks. I think GM f oods should have to pass rigorous tests before they are sold in the market. Governments should work

together to establish a system to monitor and report any adverse effects.

Although there has been no evidence to date that GM crops pose safety risks to eit her people or the environment, we should maintain our vigilance. So I’m a little suspicious of GM foods.

Sample

1According to our discussion, there are probably three major causes leading to poverty and hunger.

First of all, the environment may be a major contributing factor to poverty and hunger. Some places in the world are either too hot or too cold, too dry or too wet. In addition, most of the land in such areas is infertile or not under cultivation, so food production has been very low there.

Then, governments should be responsible for avoiding and eliminating poverty and hunger. For example, if there are continual wars, most of their money and resources will be misused on arms. People there suffer a great deal physically and emotionally and farmers will not be able to grow much food.

Finally, we think education is also one of the leading factors. On the same area of land, people in developed countries grow 10 times as much food as people in

less-developed countries. The key is that people in developed countries are better educated and have modern science and technology.

2The following might be what governments and international organizations can do to wipe out poverty and hunger.

The first thing governments and international agencies can do is to help stop wars in the world. Wars not only kill people but also prevent people from living normal lives. Very often they can’t work on their land. Governments and international agencies should also encourage industrialized countries to donate food or money for people living in poverty.

Then, they should try to enforce effective population policies. The world populatio n is growing too fast. The earth can’t adequately support so many people. No doubt so many people are still living in poverty and hunger. A good solution to this problem is to control the world population.

Finally, they should educate people in poor countries or regions. Once these people are better educated, they will be able to learn advanced technology and methods to grow food and increase the productivity of their land. So governments and international agencies should spend more money on education and send more experts to help people living in poverty.

3We can draw the attention of world leaders to the issue. We can contribute our own time and money to the cause of fighting off poverty and hunger.

We should stop being wasteful and save what we can for those in poverty and hunger. On the other hand, we can volunteer to work in any of these poor countries or regions. We should learn about the local conditions and introduce modern agriculture to these countries and regions. Hopefully their living conditions can be gradually improved.

4. They should learn more about modern science and technology and try new

methods of farming.

They should be open to the outside world. Different political policies or different religious beliefs shouldn’t prevent people fro m learning from each other and helping each other. China is a good example of improving people’s living conditions though there’re still people in hunger and poverty, especially in distant places of the western part of the country. The reform and opening-up policy in China has greatly advanced our economic development, and recently poverty and hunger have been greatly relieved for the major part of the population.

4 What to Put in the Time Capsule

Sample

Items to be locked in the time capsule:

?Seeds of various plants to show what people in the 21st century were able to grow;

? A book on how to grow some main crops and how to process food from such crops;

? A map marking distribution of crops and farm animals in different geographical areas to indicate the influence of climate, soil condition and living style on farming products;

?Some digital videos and pictures recording methods in farming, the life of farmers and agricultural tools / machines in the 21st century;

?Some reports on scientific breakthroughs and research findings in the field of agriculture to make known people’s efforts in agricultural development. Part Four Translation and Writing

Sample

With the rapid economic development in recent years, starvation is no longer a threat to most Chinese people. However, a new problem has arisen: food wastefulness. Every day, tons of food are thrown away by restaurants, canteens, supermarkets, and households. We are not only wasting our precious resources, but also polluting the environment with waste.

It’s time that w e did something to stop wasting food. First, rules should be made so that everyone pays for his or her own meals. Government agencies and businesses should no longer allow their employees to have expensive meals at restaurants at public expense. Second, prices for such food items as rice should be raised to discourage consumers from wasting them. Third, young people should be educated

to respect the hard work of farmers. Finally, the general food culture should be changed so that all people will have a healthy and balanced diet.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

Why I Love the City 我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。“另一个朋友抱怨交通:“有太多的汽车市区!你不能找到一个停车的地方,交通堵塞的情况都很可怕。“每个人都在抱怨关于犯罪:“城市有许多罪犯。我很少离开我的房子”的幻影却如太危险了。 在我朋友搬离城市,他们通常会背诵优势郊区生活:绿草、花卉、游泳池、烤肉等等。然而在我的朋友们在那里住了一年左右的时间里,他们意识到郊区生活就不那么愉快,因为他们期待。这种变化的原因是什么?他们的花园!他们很快了解到,一个不可避免的一部分yardwork郊区生活。他们整个周末都在工作在他们的花园,它们是非常累的一把,又要取他们的水池游泳甚至做一些肉放在他们的烤肉。又有另一个投诉:他们不能住在郊区没有一辆车。我的大多数朋友都搬到郊区,避开塞车,但现在他们不得不上班市中心。他们坐在一个繁忙的公路每天两个小时! 我的意见是非常不同的城市生活,从我朋友的我住在市区吗?和我爱它! ! !为什么?嗯,首先,我喜欢nature-flowers、绿草、树木和动物。在这个城市里,我有一切优势自然:我可以步行通过公共公园,闻闻花香,坐在草地上在树下。我可以参观,动物园里的动物。然而到目前为止我还没有一个缺点:我不需要做yardwork或喂动物。同时,在这个城市,到处都可以让我乘公共汽车吗?如果有交通堵塞,我可以走回去。 似乎每个人都搬到郊区,避免罪恶的大城市。我有一个理论的城市犯罪的,然而,所以我觉得安全罪犯将反映在社会生活的变化:如果人们买了房子在郊区,罪犯将步其后尘。罪犯想避免噪音、烟雾、污染了。不久,过于拥挤和犯罪的问题,而不是城市郊区! People on the Move 美国人的历史,在某种程度上,历史运动的美国人民。他们移到东海岸的殖民地到开放空间的西部。从乡下搬,农场到城里去。最近,美国人一直不断地由城市郊区。 开放空间;西部地区迁移 美国人开始先驱移动,从东海岸到西250年前。他们向西边移居的原因有许多种。一个理由是无限的开放空间的可用性和土地耕作。美国人喜欢大的开放空间,他们也喜欢独立和自由发展的土地以他们自己的方式。一些土地变得农场。重要的矿产资源被发现在某些地区,因此有一些那地就都归了地雷。其他大型地区成为牛牧场。似乎对每个人都有足够的土地。但这是一个困难的生活——一种无止境的工作和困难。 城市 1860年以后,工业革命改变了美国。美国人学会了如何生产的钢铁。他们开始生产石油。汽车被发明了。工厂各类开始出现,而在城市开始长大了工厂周围。农民和其他的国家里,人们搬到越来越多的城市人为了寻找工作,更容易的生活。在1900年代早期,城市工作忙、令人激动的地方。然而,也有很多贫穷和困苦。 城市增长的城市建筑taller-and不必得到增长out-they展开的中心。私有房屋和门廊与码就消失了。公寓,每一个个子比下、就住在他们的地方。越来越多的人搬到城市,越来越大,城市。 一些城市不能分散因为没有房间这么做。这些城市,纽约就是一个最好的例子,变得越来越拥挤。更多的人意味着更多的汽车、卡车、公交车、更大的噪音,更多的污染,以及更多的犯罪。许多城市变得丑陋肮脏。有些人而有些公司开始离开城市搬到郊区城市外围。 郊区 搬到郊区的仍然是发生。美国人正在寻找一小块土地,他们可以叫他们自己。他们想要一座房子和院子。然而,他们不想放弃好的工作在城市。在许多情况下,公司在郊区给他们的工作。在其他情况下,美国人常常通勤到城市,在城市他们职业。近年来,越来越多的企业开始向郊区迁移。他们吸引了很多人,郊区变得拥挤。 接下来要做什么? 美国人看了他们缓慢下落到大城市年久失修而死。许多人离开了城市中产阶级,只有非常富有的人和很多贫困的人呆在后面。有关美国人正设法解决这一问题的噪音、灰尘、犯罪和污染在大城市里。他们正试图重建坏的部分城市为了吸引和保持业务的人。他们正在努力使他们的城市美丽。如今,许多美国人都正在考虑搬回了城市。 其他美国人发现甚至郊区已经变得太拥挤了。他们正在寻找无污染的开阔空间和作为独立的生活方式。他们准备离开郊区到乡下。 也许美国人总是会在前进。 Caution: Bumpy Road Ahead

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

Book One Unit Four Passage One Directions: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Youth Speak If you think the English language is getting shorter, you may be right. From news bytes to text-messaging to famously shorter attention spans, we're saying less—and relying on slang more. Why? With so much of our daily communications taking place online these days—and that doesn’t include just e-mail, but text-messaging on increasingly teenier devices—it seems everyday English has been reduced to a code of accepted abbreviations, mysterious combinations of numbers and letters, and even symbols masquerading as facial expressions. :) Often in all lowercase(小写字母) letters. Certain numbers, “2” and “4” in particular, play starring roles—replacing, respectively, “to” and “for”—but the far more interesting development is the embrace of the number “3” for the letter “e” (“b3” and “th3”), and the number “8” for the sound it makes (“gr8” and “l8r” for “great” and “later”). While some of these brave new acronyms(首字母缩拼词) can actually be self-explanatory (“u” for “you” and “ur” for “your”) or fairly logical (“b4” for “before”), or can highlight the sounds the letters ma ke (“qt” for “cutie” and “cu” for “see you”) or act as abbreviations (“cuz” for “because”), or can be just straightforward acronyms (“bff” for “best friends forever”), some do border on strange (“peeps” for “people”). Some terms that have been in circulati on for quite a while are pretty recognizable: “lol” (“laughing out loud”), “btw” (“by the way”), and “imho” (“in my humble opinion”). Some, meanwhile, are puzzling: “iykwim” (“if you know what I mean”), “mtfbwy” (“may the force be with you”), and “wysiwyg”(“what you see is what you get”). At times, this alphabet-soup vernacular (本国语，俗语) feels absolutely confusing to everyone but linguists and computer geeks. But it’s difficult to argue with it s speed—or even its necessity—when forced to use a toothpick-sized device to reply to an office memorandum (备忘录) while driving a car (not recommended or legal but, unfortunately, all too common). With the exception of “peeps,” though, all of the above examples are mostly used in written slang. Spoken slang is a whole o ther story. And it’s here that the younger generation truly has its say (pun intended). Today’s slang changes faster than yesterday’s password. That’s because words that were popular only a couple of years ago have lost favor—among t oday’s teens—for no reason at all. These include: “sweet”, “excellent”, and “awesome” (which all mean “good”). But, then, slang is short-lived by nature. In order for slang to be slangy, it has to have a feeling of perpetual newness. Slang is like fashion: never “in” for long. Americans eventually tire of even the most popular words, and by natural selection, only the strong survive.
