The independence-versus-interdependence issue has been written about regularly and is often introduced as the major issue separating the two worlds of scientific employment： academic and industrial. For decades, academia has paid lip service to the idea of collaboration, but the incentive-and-reward system has been slow to adjust . Despite the widespread interest in collaboration and its obvious value in an academic setting , collaboration remains informal and is actually discourage by the tenure process, in which scholars are penalized for sharing credit for their work with others.

Large-scale academic collaboration has taken place successfully in the past; the Manhattan Project and contemporaneous radar research, and numerous experimental particle projects, to cite just a few examples, are not perhaps academic in the purest sense, but they demonstrate that academic scientists can play well with others. More recently, new systems biology studies are bringing a sense of teamwork into academic life science labs, but there have been some growing pains. Still, in most of academic science— including the life science— the lone wolf still rules. (百度翻译)独立性抗相互依存关系的问题已被写入经常定期介绍在学术和工业两个世界科学的用人的主要问题，几十年来，学术界一直口惠合作的想法，但激励和奖励制度迟迟没有调整。尽管在协作的广泛兴趣和其明显的价值在学术环境中，合作仍然是非正式的，实际上是由任期过程，其中学者处罚共享的信用为自己与他人的工作劝阻。
过去已经发生过成功的大规模的学术合作;曼哈顿计划和当时雷达的研究，以及众多的实验粒子项目，仅举几个例子也许不是纯粹意义上的学者，但他们证明，学术科学家可以与其他人合作得很好。最近，新的系统生物学的研究使团队合作的意识进入学术生命科学实验室，但也出现了一些发展上的问题。不过，在大多数学术科学 - 包括生命科学仍以单干者主。 Unit 2 Cuisine in China is a harmonious integration of color, taste, shape and fragrance. For the cooking process, chefs pick choice and varied ingredients and seasonings and employ the unparalleled and complicated skills handed down from their fathers, always aspiring to their ideal of perfection for all the senses. Among the many cooking methods they use are boiling, stewing, braising, frying, steaming , crisping, baking, simmering. When they finish their masterpieces they are arranged on a variety of plates and dishes so that they are a real pleasure to view, to smell and ultimately to savor . The facility to partake of these delights is also distinctive—chopsticks! To see even the smallest child eat with such dexterity is quite amazing for many foreigners. The use of two simple sticks in this way is an art in itself and chopsticks have determined the way in which Chinese food is presented at the table.
中国菜是色彩、口味、形状和香味的和谐统一。在烹饪的过程中，厨师们会挑选各种各样的原料和调料，并运用他们父辈们所传授的无与伦比的、复杂的技巧，总是追求完美的理想。在许多烹饪方法中，他们用的是煮、炖、炖、煎、蒸、脆、烤、煨。当他们完成他们的杰作时，他们会被安排在各种各样的盘子和盘子里，这样他们就能真正地欣赏、闻到并最终品尝。享受这些乐趣的设施也是独特的筷子!看到哪怕是最小的孩子吃得这么灵巧，对许多外国人来说都是相当惊人的。使用两根简单的筷子本身就是一种艺术，筷子已经决定了餐桌上中国食物的展示方式。 Unit 3

罗恩要是在从前，也许会对这种必要的绕道感到嫉妒而不是有趣，可现在他对此只是捧腹大笑。虽然比起从前那个闷闷不乐、好斗的罗恩，哈利更喜欢现在这个笑容满面、爱打趣的罗恩，可是他的这个进步却也让哈利感到了代价昂贵。首先，哈利不得不忍受拉文德·布朗的频繁出现，她似乎认为任何没有同罗恩接吻的时间都是一种浪费；其次，哈利发现他最好的两个朋友似乎不准备再和对方说话了。罗恩的手和前臂上还带着赫敏的那些小鸟啄出和抓出的伤痕，说话的语气也带着自我辩解和愤慨。“她没什么可抱怨的，”他告诉哈利。“她吻了克鲁姆。然后发现有人吻了我。嗯，这是个自由的国家，我又没做错什么。”
哈利没有回答，只是假装专心地看着明天魔咒课前需要预习的书（《第五元素：一些探索》）（译注：第五元素是古代和中世纪哲学家认为除了土、空气、火和水四大基本元素以外的第五种元素，也是最高的精髓，被认为是天体的组成物质并潜伏于所有事物之中）。他决心两边都不得罪，所以许多时间里都默不做声。 Unite 4 P107

If we look at love in other countries and cultures, we find many variations. In societies like India love is not necessarily a(n) prerequisite for marriage. Even highly educated Indian men and women who date non-Indians while living in Western countries often consent to arranged marriages. Respect for parent’ wishes, family traditions, and duty to the kin group are more important than love. Most middle- and upper-middle class women in India can marry whomever they want. Many, however, prefer arranged marriages and have veto power over undesirable candidates. Arranged marriages are attractive because they offer more stability than love. According to one highly educated woman in Calcutta who has been happily married for three years to a man she had met just three times before their engagement, love isn’t essential for marital happiness:”I met a lot of people I liked, but no one was suitable for marriage, because I was looking for practicality also. Love is important, but it’s not sufficient”
（有道翻译）如果我们看看其他国家和文化中的爱情，我们会发现很多变化。在印度这样的社会里，爱情不一定是结婚的先决条件。在西方国家，即使是受过高等教育的印度男人和女人也会与非印第安人约会，而他们通常会同意包办婚姻。尊重父母的意愿、家庭传统和对亲人的责任比爱更重要。在印度，大多数中上层阶级妇女可以和她们想要的人结婚。然而，许多人更喜欢包办婚姻，对不希望的候选人拥有否决权。包办婚姻很有吸引力，因为他们比爱情更稳定。据一位受过高等教育的女性在加尔各答一直幸福地结婚三年一个人她见过三次订婚,爱不是婚姻幸福的关键“我遇到了很多人我喜欢:,但是没有一个是适合婚姻,因为我也在寻找实用性。爱是重要的，但这是不够的。
