1.
It is wrong to raise our children the way we grow flowers in the greenhouse. We must expose
them to
all social problems because very soon they will be
dealing with them as responsible
citizens.
2.
As
time
goes
on
we
are
inevitably
going
to
get
more
and
more
involved
in
international
affairs.
And
conflicts
are
sure
to
occur
because
there
always
exist
different
views
and
interests among
nations.
3.
We
are
proud
of
our
accomplishments,
and
we
have
reason
to
be.
But
we
must
never
become arrogant. Otherwise we will lose
our friends.
4.
Information is now easily available. An average computer can store the information of a small
library.
5.
That construction company is not qualified to handle the project. They do not have any legal
document to certify that they have the
necessary expertise. We must find a company that
specializes in building theatres.
6.
These
think
tanks
do
not
make
decisions.
They
are
out
to
generate
new
ideas
and
penetrating
analyses that will be extremely useful for
decision makers.
7.
The growth of GDP is not everything. Our country cannot be said to have been modernized
unless the quality of our people’s
lives is really improved.
8.
Poor as we were in many ways at that time, we were still quite happy as children, for there
was clean air,
clean water, a lot of fish, crabs and eels in the
rivers, lakes, and ponds; and a lot
of
flowers, trees and birds in the fields.
9.
Give absolute power to any individual or any particular group of people, and that person or
group
is
sure
to
abuse
that
power
because,
just
as
Lord
Acton
says,
corrupts,
and
absolute power corrupts
absolutely.
10.
Traditionally
in
our
country,
school
education
was
always
said
to
be
more
important
and
useful compared with all other
pursuits.
Unit 2
1.
You know what? All things considered, it's not a bad idea to be a teacher. As a matter of fact,
I think
it is an excellent idea.
2.
I don't like it when you take a sarcastic tone the way you just did. You seem to be implying all
the time that I am a good-for-
nothing.
3.
It is really considerate of my father to leave the final decision to me. I must say I am very
lucky. Not many people have such a
terrific father.
4.
You said you do not want any money. You may not want money, but you do need money. I
don't
see what's wrong with students earning some money
during their spare time.
5.
Somehow
this
tune
sounds
very
familiar,
but
I
can't
recall
what
it
is.
In
any
case,
it
is
a
Russian folk song.
6.
Besides the usual weekend housework, I also have a whole pile of homework to do tomorrow.
It's really
terrible.
7.
To demonstrate our unhappiness over the recent dispute, we put off our Foreign Minister's
visit indefinitely.
8.
It's getting dark. The next town is still two hours' drive away. We might as well camp in the
forest,
pitch
a
tent,
build
a
fire,
and
have
a
good
sleep
before
we
continue
our
journey
tomorrow.
9.
I am really shocked to hear people say they do not consider cheating at exams shameful. Isn't
that the most shameful thing that we
have been incapable of feeling ashamed?
Unit 3
1.
Health care must be available to all citizens regardless of their differences. We cannot justify
a policy that denies
medical care to the large population living in the
country.
2.
They claim to have discovered a universal law which applies to all nations.
3.
I often made a fool of myself when I was living with my uncle on his farm. When asked to get
rid of the weeds in the rice fields,
for example, I often failed to tell apart the
weeds and the
rice seedlings.
4.
Why go there today? I'd much rather we stay until the snow ceases.
5.
Rice requires large quantities of water and many scientists warn us that even if we use our
water
sparingly, the day will inevitably come when we
will be fighting over limited supplies of
water resources.
6.
There has been quite a noticeable change in recent years. We no longer lean on exports for
economic growth. We now tend to put
more emphasis on home consumption.
7.
Today's tendency is to give little kids too many tests and exams until they are no good for
anything but
taking exams.
8.
It is pointless to force professors to publish a fixed number of papers annually regardless of
their quality. Besides, this is a
demand even Einstein would not have been able to
meet.
Unit 4
1.
The fact that he was able to avoid the seemingly inevitable crash made him a national hero.
2.
Of the four students who risked their lives to try to drag the drowning children to shore, two
never returned.
3.
The Japanese are known for their long life span. They believe they owe this to their eating
habits/the composition of their diet,
which contains a lot of fish products.
4.
I know Harris. I couldn't imagine a man like him making such stupid remarks.
5.
After testing her loyalty many times, he was now going to give her the most dangerous task.
6.
I hear that Lincoln delivered an extremely powerful speech on that occasion. Whatever did
he actually say?
7.
That
this
time
they
must
be
ready
to
challenge
death was
clear
to everybody. But
no
one
regretted this move.
8.
As accidents go/As far as accidents are concerned, there was nothing out of the ordinary: a
crazy young man
drives a car on a university campus and kills a
young woman student. What
is unusual is
the fact that the man dares to challenge the
people who want to take him to
court,
because his father is a local police officer.
9.
Every time/Whenever we decide on a financial policy, we have to make a clear distinction
between short-term
interests and long-term interests.
