Unit 2 Space Invaders

KEY TO EXERCISES

Text comprehension

I. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose of writing.

II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.

1. T (Refer to Paragraph 1. At the bank, one of the customers inched forward and caused other customers to advance so public order is being disrupted.)

2. T (Refer to the last sentence of Paragraph 4. Caffeine can generally help inspire the spirit of a human, and over-consumption of caffeine can make him restless.)

3. T (Refer to the first two sentences of Paragraph 5: Personal space is mostly a public matter; we allow all kinds of invasions of personal space in private. [Humanity wouldn't exist without them.])

4. T (Refer to Paragraph 6. The last two sentences convey the author's opinion on personal space: an individual's personal space should be respected, which shows a person's manners on social occasions.)

5. F (Refer to Paragraph 8. Personal space is psychological. This means when people are absorbed in their inner world, they will pay little attention to the world outside, including their personal space. By this the author intends to explain why people care less about their personal space than ever and why their personal space is shrinking. Undoubtedly, when the invasion of one's space in the physical world is perceived, he will certainly feel that his personal space is shrinking.)

III. A nswer the following questions.

1. Refer to Paragraph 1. Because he wants to show the importance of personal space in maintaining public order. If one's personal space is invaded, he may, in preserving his own space, break into others' personal space. The chain action can cause chaos in public order.

2. Refer to Paragraph 2. In Paragraph 2, the author defines personal space as one's individual sphere with the self at the center and a certain distance on each side. It is part of one's privacy, the invasion of which necessarily makes one uneasy.

3. "This tendency" refers to the phenomenon exemplified in the previous paragraph, that is, the escalation of the invasion of personal space. The writer used to think this was caused by the "population explosion" via Malthusian logic. Now he starts to suspect that the season is the cause: in summer dress some people are more attractive. In addition, he suggests, in seriousness or jest, the stimulating effect of caffeine contributes to the

escalation of the invasion of personal space too.

4. In Paragraph 5, the writer mainly describes one important characteristic of personal space: personal space is a relative concept; people in different regions have different concepts of personal space. The size of personal space varies according to where one lives. Where one has a spread, he will have a more spacious concept of personal space than those who do not have a large place of their own.

5. Refer to Paragraph 8. Because people are more self-absorbed than before. In other words they are paying less attention to the outside world, including personal space, than before. The fact that people care less about their personal space in effect encourages space invasion.

IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.

1. The phrase "personal space" has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.

2. In hot summer days people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others).

3. People in different regions have different sizes of personal space.

4. It is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.

5. The author hopes that his own stand against the shrinking of personal space, while small in itself, will nonetheless eventually have a dramatic effect in the same way as the breeze from a butterfly's wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California.

Structural analysis of the text

The author looks at the causes of space invasion in Paragraph 4. He first attributes this phenomenon to the population explosion, then, light-heartedly, to the hot weather and the stimulation of caffeine. But the true cause strikes him as likely to be the decline of manners (Paragraph 6).

He examines the nature of space invasion in Paragraphs 5?. He thinks that space invasion is a public matter. It is more psychological than physical.

Rhetorical features of the text

1. Verbs and verbal phrases that describe the behaviour of space invaders:

inch toward / wedge themselves in / zigzag through / jostle / refuse to give way / press forward / bump into / stake a claim to / annex / commandeer

2. Verbs and verbal phrases that describe the reaction of those whose space is being invaded:

minutely advance toward / sidle up to / shuffle toward

Because global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet（the earth）. Low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Ninos could become more intense. 2. Paragraph 3. Our factories, power plants, and cars burn coal and gasoline and spit out carbon dioxide, produce methane by allowing our trash to decompose in landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle, and release nitrogen oxide by using nitrogen-based fertilizers. 3. Paragraph 4. The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, so cause the global warming. 4. Paragraph 7. A slight increase in heat and rain in equatorial regions would increase vector-borne带菌媒介引起的diseases such as malaria; more intense rains and hurricanes could cause more severe flooding and more deaths in coastal regions and along riverbeds; even a moderate rise in sea level could threaten the low-lying islands; hotter summers couldlead to more cases of heatstroke, hospital admissions and deaths among vulnerable people with heart problems or respiratory problems. 5. Paragraph 8 and 10. We can curb our consumption of fossil fuels and use technologies to reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon二氧化碳 dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, and protect the forests in the world, and we can also advocate policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests. IV. 1. Global warming will probably be the most serious threat to our Earth, if we do not take into account of some other possible disasters, such as another world war, collision of our Earth with some small orbiting planet, or spread of incurable diseases. 2.
