三、练习
1.The Power of Language
Language is something that defines (define) us as humans. When language is 41_ (use) well, it can bring out very deep feelings in others, and encourage others to take_ 42__ (act). Sometimes in poetry a certain phrase can bring 43 (tear) to the eyes and move us deeply. When we use language to express our true feelings to someone, it can open and_ 44 (deep) the connection between us. Language is a very_ 45 (power) tool. How we use language shapes our world. How we use self-talk_ 46. (direct) shapes our experience of both ourselves and the world. How we deliver_ 47 (communicate) shapes the way the world__ 48 (respond) to us. We can use language more_49_(effective). And this clearly influences the health and power of our 50 (person) relationships and business relationships.
2. Are There Truths in Dreams?
Imagine waking up after dreaming (dream) about a terrible plane crash. The next day you will make a plane journey that you have 41 (plan) long before. Will you get on the plane?
A survey shows that you may not cancel your trip. But your dream will probably influence your 42 (thought) during the journey. You may feel 43 (worry) and find the trip much 44 (long) than before. So dreams may influence what we are 2 45 (real) doing while we are awake.
The explanation of dreams is still a(n) 46 (clear) area. A team of researchers are entering a new field of studies: Do dreams actually influence our 47 (behave)? Over the past few years, they have 48 (do) studies in different cultures and found out that dreams contain some 49 (hide) truths: dreams affect the way people live and work. But researchers also tell people not to be 50 (easy) influenced by their dreams.
3.Labor Market Decline
The decline of the labor market is easy to misinterpret (interpret). There are many reasons for that. During the 1970s, large numbers of women and young adults_41_ (bear) during the baby boom entered into the work force. That 42 (result) in too many workers for the jobs available and depressed wages. The decline also has something to do with the explosive_43_ (grow) in world trade since 1960. As 44 (manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, production jobs have 45 (move) from the U.S. to countries where wages are low. In 46 (add), technology itself has helped to cause the shifts in the job market. For example, 47 (few) American workers are needed to make steel today than in the past, because new 48 (machine) have made many of their tasks 49 (necessary). Finally, the high rate of 50 (employment) caused by these factors has tended to drive wages down further.
4.Voice and Text Chatting
Voice chat and text chat are quickly (quick) becoming preferred ways of communicating with others online. For language _41____(learner), these forms of communication___42__(able) them to share ideas about themselves and the world in almost real time. They can establish friendships with people from around the globe. Thus, it can be an easy way to learn languages and world __43___(culture).
However, care and consideration should be__44___(give)when you are looking for friends on the Internet because you __45___(real) dont know who the person is at the other end. Thus, never give out personal information __46___(include) your name, age, where you live, and the name of the school you attend. Also, be __47___(care) about meeting online acquaintances in person, and if you do so, make sure it is in a public place and go with a friend or a family member.__48___(final), contact local authorities if you feel you are in danger. Again, chatting with others can be an enjoyable and ___49__(education)activity if you use care when __50___(do) so.
5.Be Grateful
Whether you are a waiter (wait) or a doctor, your job is about serving others and making their life better, We have all __41__ (have) experiences where someone __42__(work) in their job has lifted us up and made a __43__(different) to our day or brought us down and made our day worse. We have all met __44__ (real) wonderful people cleaning floors. We have also met people who are not so wonderful but have __45__ (amaze) jobs. So whatever you do, be grateful. This doesnt mean you have to stay in a job you dont like, but it __46__ (help) you develop a more positive attitude. You may not like your job, but you can enjoy being with your __47__ (colleague). This is something to be __48__ (thank) for. When yon practice __49__ (grateful) it allows you to develop a more useful outlook and be __50__ (happy) at your work.
6. Silent Listening
If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do? Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.
Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job. The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were a little 46 (surprise). Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it. The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend. So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.
7. Self-reliance(自立)
Everyone has heard(hear)the word “self-reliance”. Emerson wrote a _41_ (fame)essay about it. He felt that people should trust in their own _42_ (able). They should think and act for themselves. Like many such _43_ (term),this one had no real meaning for me until it was _44_ (demonstrate)to me in real life.
Last year I met a blind girl _45_ (name)Gail. She was _46_ (extreme)slender and weak, but she always insisted on _47_ (find) her way around the school by herself. When she _48_ (sit)in a room with several of us, there was sometimes a(n) _49_ (easy)silence, because we thought she might resent our acting too cheerful and thoughtless in her _50_ (present). On such occasions, she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write. She never asked for anyone’s pity. She truly relied on herself.

The erosion of the middle of the labor market is easy to misinterpret, because its 1 (root) are multiple. During the 1970s,the entry into the work force of an unprecedented number of women and young adults born during the baby boom resulted in too many workers for the jobs available, and 2 (depress)wages. The decline of the middle also has something to do with the explosive 3 (grow)in world trade since 1960.As 4 (manufacture) technologies have become more mobile, and multinational 5 (firm) more footloose,production jobs have 6 (migrate) from the US to countries where wages are low.In addition, technology itself has helped to provoke the shifts in the job market.For example, 7 (few)American workers would have been 8 (need)to make steel in 1980 than in 1960 even if the pressures of global 9 (compete) had not been a factor, because new machines have made many of their tasks redundant.Finally, the high rate of 10 (employment) caused by these trends has tended to drive wages down further,especially at the low end, since it forces unskilled workers to compete for their jobs with unemployed people who are willing to do the work for less.

沉默的倾听
如果你的朋友刚刚发生了很不好的事情,你会怎么做?你会跟他提起这件事,说你很抱歉吗?你会给他提供支持或建议吗?根据露丝·克拉克的说法,这种做法看似妥善,实则可能不是他真正想要或需要的。
克拉克让一些大学生想象一些不愉快的情景,例如,考试取得了很差的成绩或者父亲丢了工作。然后这些学生们被问到,如果他们的朋友从其他人那里得知了他们糟糕的情况,那这些学生本人希望得到怎样的对待。结果有点出乎意料。一些学生说他们希望他们的朋友提及这些烦心事,但是大多数在研究中的学生回应说他们希望他们的朋友不要这样做。学生们想要自己决定是否与朋友讨论他们的烦心事。所以,在朋友遇到麻烦的时候保持沉默的倾听是很有必要的。

3.with the explosive growth随着爆炸性的增长,explosive是形容词,后面需要名词 growth。
4. manufacturing technology固定搭配表示制造技术。
5.footloose形容词“自由自在的,不受束缚的;(工商金融活动)不受地域限制的,能顺应市场的”,multinational“跨国的”,这里讲的跨国公司是大范围的,多以应该用复数firms 。

7.句子后面than是比较级的标志,故用fewer。
8.被需要be needed to do sth,例如:A lot of time is needed to do this work.

9.global competition全球竞争
10.根据上下文知道应该是失业,故用unemployment 。
