1、L6 Unit 1-1 Listening 事故和身体恢复Harry Beecham works for a hi-tech German company based in the Munich. Last month, he was in an automobile accident. He was on his way to attend an important meeting in New York City. He had just arrived on a flight from London and was taking a taxi into the city. The wea
2、ther was terrible and the road was icy. He was in a hurry so he asked the taxi driver to get him into the city as soon as possible. The taxi driver agreed and sped up but just as they left the airport, the car was out of control. It spun around and skidded into(滑入) the path of an oncoming truck. For
3、tunately, the truck was going too fast, so nobody was killed. But the taxi was severely damaged and both passengers were injured. The taxi driver survived with only a few injured because he was wearing a seatbelt. The car accident wouldnt have been happened had the weather been better. Had he put on
4、 his seatbelt, he might not have been injured so badly. Had the weather been better, the accident wouldnt have been happened. The taxi airbag had also been deployed(使展开), absorbing much of the impact. However, Harry, who was in the back seat, having put on his seatbelt. As a result, he was severely
5、injured, and had to be rushed to the hospital. Now, a month later, Harry still cant remember much of what happened. When he first woke up in the hospital, it was several hours after the accident and he wasnt sure where he was. The bad news was that he couldnt move his legs. This was because his back
6、 had been broken in the accident. The doctor later told him that he might never regain the use of his legs. Some of his nerves in his spine(脊柱) and legs had been damaged but everything else was OK. Now, Harry is trying to figure out what to do. If he works hard and exercises every day, there will st
7、ill a chance that he legs will recover on their own. There are also some new treatments that might help his nerve regenerate. Still, he should be prepared for the long recovery and possibility that he might never walk again. Without the use of his legs, he wouldnt be able to continue working in the
8、same way. it wouldnt be possible to travel, so he would have to find another way to attend the meeting. Either that or he would have to look for another way to make a living. Harry has a good disability insurance, so money wont be problem for a while. But sooner or later, he wants to be able to earn
9、s a living again. Of course he isnt planning to give up on his legs. If he works hard, he might still be able to regain the use and learn to walk again. Some of his nerves had been damaged but there was a chance that they were healed. The new drugs being developed might make it possible for the nerv
10、es to grow back. Still, he has to face the possibility that nothing will work. Whatever happens, Harry is determined to think positively. Even he cant walk, he can still attend the meeting all over the world. With technology, he could be anywhere and there is much that he can still do. Luckily, he s
11、till has to use his arms and hands and his brain is still functioning. With the right attitude, he can find a way forward. There is no reason to despair in or feeling sorry for oneself. That kind of think wont solve anything. He just hopes that his company or another will get him a chance to prove h

18、 Unit 1-1 reading 狼来了和野外生存Once upon a time there was a mischievous(淘气的) young boy who was given the task of tending a herd of sheep on a hillside near a village. The boy grew tired(厌倦) and bored while watching the sheep, so he found ways to amuse himself, such as climbing trees or chasing sheep. One
19、 day he came up with what he thought was a brilliant idea. He climbed to the top of a tree and shouted toward the village: “wolf! Wolf! Help me please!”When the villagers heard his cries for help, they rushed up the hill to rescue him and chase(追捕) the wolf away. Of course, when they got there, ther
20、e was no wolf to be seen, and the boy, who was still in the tree, was laughing. The sheep were grazing(吃草 ) peacefully. Annoyed. The villagers returned to the village and back to their normal activities. A few days later, the boy grew bored again and played the same trick on the villagers. This time
21、 the villagers were furious at the boy. That night he was punished by his mother for his bad behavior. For a while after that, life went on as normal and the boy behaved. He didnt want to be punished again. Then, one afternoon while he was tending the sheep, he noticed that the sheep were bleating(小
22、羊的叫声) and nervous. He didnt know what was causing their strange behavior, so he climbed a tree to see if he could determine what was going on. What he saw from the tree was a frightening sight, a big, hairy wolf chasing after the sheep. Terrified, he screamed for help: “wolf, wolf! Theres a wolf cha
23、sing the sheep!”This time, when the villagers heard his cries for help, they were convinced that it was another one of his pranks(恶 作剧). Nobody believed that there was really a wolf, so they ignored his frantic(发狂的、发疯的) calls for help. The wolf, having nothing to fear, feasted(大吃大喝) on several of th

26、trees are a rich source of water, but the leaves are poisonous, so dont eat them. The best place to build a shelter is in an area with the least amount of(最少的) sunlight, like between sand dunes(沙丘) or trench(沟).

30、at you have studied English at a high level, you need to be able to talk about the language itself. One of the biggest areas of confusion for students is the difference between the pass tense and present prefect. The pass tense is indicated by use of pass tense marker, represent V(d). here are some
31、regular verbs and their pass tense forms. So, as you can see, for regular verbs, the pass tense form is indicated by the addition of “ed” at the end of the verbs. However, some of the common verbs in English is irregular, so its important to learn them. Here are some examples. Altogether, there are
32、over 200 irregular verbs in normal use. Many people think that the pass tense form only indicates the pass time. However, there is only one of the possible meanings. The pass tense form is also used to express something that is unlikely or imaginary, from the speakers point of view. Here is an examp
33、le,He wishes he had a car. The fact is that he doesnt have a car, so the use of had indicates that it isnt real, its imaginary. If he had a car, he could drive us to school. Again, he doesnt have a car, so he cant drive us to school. This condition expresses something that isnt a fact. Its a counter
34、factual condition, which means it goes against what we know or believe. Look at these two sentences, If she waits another week, she can save money.If she waited another week, she could save money there is going to be a sale. both sentences are correct, but they have different meanings. In the top se
35、ntence, the condition that she waits is more likely from the speakers point of view. In the bottom sentence, the speaker thinks that its less likely that shes going to wait. If that flight leaves on time, we are going to miss it, so lets run. If the flight left a few minutes later, we could take the
36、 next shuttle bus. When we talk about the experience of result, we use the present perfect form. This form uses have followed by the participle. for regular verbs, this participle(分词) is identical to the pass tense form. For irregular verb, this participle is different. When we use the perfect form,
37、 the primary focus on the subject of the sentences, not the verbs. It emphasizes its condition, experience of results, rather than action or event. In these 2 examples, we see the contrast. She has already left the hotel. She left the hotel a few minutes ago. The top sentence gives the condition or
38、state of subject, and the bottom sentence expresses the event. The top sentence describes the condition of the subject of the sentence, she rather than the event. The fact she has left the hotel is now part of her experience or state of being. The bottom sentence expresses the action or event, she l
39、eft, which is something she did. In general, the pass tense expresses the event or acts, and the perfect form expresses the experience or conditions. When we use the perfect form of the verbs, we focus on the state of the subject and not the action or event. Know that the pass form expresses events
40、of specific point or periods of time, such as late year or the pass 5 years. These events distance from the speakers point of view. He worked at several companies. He finished the project last week. The perfect form expresses the state of something from the speakers point of view, not distance in ti
41、me. He has worked at several companies. He has finished the project. These 2 sentences are incorrect and confusing they give 2 different points of view. He has finished his work last week. Here are some sentences that use the perfect form. Some are simple, such as the first one and some are complex,
42、 like the last one. He has finished practicingHe has been practicingShe may have been practicingShe may have eatenHer computer may have been stolenThe last one is complex because it combines many verb forms, including the passive.

43、ic? I was just thinking about how much things have changed since I was a child. Oh, sometime I have think about that too. What were your thoughts? The nostalgic(怀旧的) for sure. Generally, I remember the best times and then I get a bit depressed when Im thinking about how things have changed. What kin
44、d of changes depress you?Well, one thing is the pace of life. Everything is so fast personnel, so there isnt enough time to think. Thats because youve grown up. Youre not a child anymore so you have responsibilities. Its more than just having responsibilities. My parents had to work but they also ha

You are both too busy. I think shes even busier than I am. Well, maybe she will surprise you. Maybe shed like a change too. Y
48、ou should talk to her. Em, I dont know. What about you?Im okay. My wife and I accept things as they are. They try to think positively and we support each other.
