18、 bit her tongue offTranslationA. 首先，教師應性情開朗，具有魅力。這不排除長相平平， 甚至面貌丑陋者，他們或許更具魅力。但過于沖動者、郁郁寡歡者、冷酷無情者、尖酸刻薄者、憤世嫉俗者、怨天尤人者，以及自以為是、居高臨下者卻定要排除在外。再補充一點：應排除平庸者和性情不良者。還是我以前書中所言：“乏味或許比殘暴更加催殘學生?！逼浯?，教師不僅需要而且必須擁有同情心真正意義上的同情心；能夠設(shè)身處地的親聽他人的心聲，特別要能感孩子們所感，思孩子們所思，因為教師中多為中小學教師；還有與此密不可分的寬容當然，寬容的不是錯誤本身，而是人類脆弱與幼稚的本性，這才是誘使人們尤其是孩

22、毅力。他們認為，就是因為是好的運氣和機會，一些人比其他人更容易獲得成功，盡管他們并不那么能干和稱職。毫無疑問，運氣和機會是加快成功步伐的某種因素，但僅僅是因素而已。事實上機會只能帶來某種預示，從來不會自發(fā)成功，機會只有加上艱辛、持之以恒的努力才能使人獲得成功。畢竟，成功通常降臨到那些愿意的人，或者說那些愿意把握機會的人。于是，這些人可能得到運氣的恩賜。B.

There is the American saying: Laugh-and-the-world-laughs-with-you; Cry-and-you-cry-alone. It is the fact that many people love to be

31、 happy and enjoy laughing. Therere some reasons why we laugh. One reason is surprise. When I was surprised at funny looking things, my natural reaction is laughter. Also you might laugh because you're embarrassed. Something seems awkward for a moment and you don't know what to do, so you lau

32、gh. When you see people falling down, say, in China, I notice everyone laughs partly because of surprise, and partly because of embarrassment. But there are Western cultures that they dont appreciate if you laugh when they fall down. People in different cultures laugh for different reasons. In fact,

33、 what makes one laugh in comedy shows TV shows and movies in different cultures are very different. So everyone is different, and what makes you laugh it's not always the same. The same is true with jokes in different cultures.Unit 6 Text A TranslationA. 孩子們是否應該去國外留學一直是一個熱門話題。人們的觀點大相徑庭。有些人認為學生不適

34、合去國外學習，首先，高昂的學費和生活費對大多數(shù)家庭是一個沉重的經(jīng)濟負擔；其次在一個風俗和生活方式完全不同的國家生活學習不僅會有語言障礙并且會經(jīng)歷“文化休克”，這會使許多學生難以適應，最后，一些學生不夠成熟，難以辨別是非而可能走入歧途。國外留學的推崇者們堅持國外留學是有益的。首先，國外學習能提供一流的教學設(shè)施和“學生為中心”的教學體制-一種比國內(nèi)盛行的“以教師為中心”的教學方法更科學的教學方法。其次，遠離父母親可以迫使年輕人結(jié)交朋友、學會處理人際關(guān)系，這將讓他們終身受益。再者，留學國外是一次感受異國文化、開拓視野的絕佳機會。就我個人而言，我贊成去國外留學因為利大于弊。 B. 1.

There is overwhelming/compelling evidence that the United States is undoubtedly a global leader in many ways. While exporting

46、globalization began in earnest in the early 1970s when the system of fixed exchange rates, set up after World War II, was dismantled. This meant that the value of currencies would now be determined by the markets instead of individual governments. Over the next two decades, countries slowly began to

47、 remove their exchange controls. By 1990, nearly all worlds major economies had got rid of restrictions on how much money could be moved in and out of their countries.
