8、since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly

advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings. ex.3 words in use

some bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “bible”, practical english grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but i don’t care about it at all. my assumption is since i have never learned chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning english grammar? in fact, english grammar has always been a big headache to me.

in brief, i’m allergic to learning english grammar. curiously, i just wonder if the native speakers of english have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse! ex.9 e-c translation

人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。与其他语言一样，英语也发生了很大的变化。英语的历史可以分为三个主要阶段：古英语，中古英语和现代英语。英语起源于公元5世纪，当时三个日耳曼部落入侵英国，他们对英语语言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世纪和现代社会初期，英语的影响遍及不列颠群岛。从17世纪初，它的影响力开始在世界各地显现。欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的重大变化。今天，由于美国电影、电视、音乐、贸易和技术、包括互联网的大受欢迎，美国英语的影响力尤其显著。 ex.10 c-e translation

chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. the formation and development of the chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of chinese characters. in this long evolutionary process,

chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. calligraphic

works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. as one of the treasures of chinese culture, chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.

even though it is important of the students to have a deep understanding of the texts, it doesn’t make any sense to read texts word for word from the beginning to the end

as it is a matter of little importance to us, it doesn’t make much sense to argue out which is wrong or right or which is better or worse

it makes no sense to compel children to obey their parents; instead, we should try to tell them what is right and what is wrong. ex. 7.

unit 2 college-the ladder to success text a the humanities:out of date? reading comprehension

1. because english or history majors are considered less

competitive when the job market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.

2. because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment. 3. since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before; in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.

4. because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted

many people to speculate on it. from ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.

5. studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.

6. because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.

7. “well-rounded human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.

8. since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if

students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well. language focus 3
