1,To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking.Besides,learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important.Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English.It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result.As long as we

keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.21)abrupt 2)emotional 3)bless4)wear and tear5)dated

George, the son of Mr.Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep.Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference.They called Mr.Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking.Mr.Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue.As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.” In the end George traded his CD’s for computer games software from his classmates

Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer.I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier.I can write, submit and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss.With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news.But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times.The system may crash.Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret

of/Take Donna.Her son unfortunately died in a car accident.The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry.She said, “It was not until two weeks later that I began to cry.And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders.It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”1)cultural/culture2)indication 3)miniature 4)ironic

Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT.She craves knowledge and works hard.However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus.Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective.It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education.When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight.So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President.The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.

埃伦·古德曼讲了一个想做地道公司人而劳累致死的人的故事，与此同时，她还揭示了一味痴迷工作背后会潜藏的种种危机，包括对家庭生活造成的伤害。

公司人

埃伦·古德曼

他终于在星期天凌晨三点整因过度劳累而离开人世。

当然，讣告上没有提及这一点。讣告说他死于冠状动脉血栓形成——我认为这就是死因——但是，他所有的朋友和熟人都马上明白是怎么回事。他们议论道，他是十足的A型行为者，一个工作狂，一个典型的工作狂，他们边说边摇头，他们还花了五到十分钟的时间想了想自己的生活方式。

这位最终于星期天——他的休息日——凌晨三点整累死的人是位公司副总裁，时年五十一岁。不过他是六位副总裁之一，如果总裁去世够早或退休够早的话，他本是有望当第一把手的三位人选之一。菲尔清楚这一点。

他一周工作六天，其中五天要工作到晚上八、九点钟。而公司员工除领导层外已经开始实行每周四天工作制了。他像重要人物一样工作。他在外面没有“本职以外的爱好”，当然，除非你认为每月一次的打高尔夫球也算的话。但是，对于菲尔来说，这也是工作。他总是在办公桌旁吃鸡蛋沙拉三明治，自然啦，他超重了，超出二十或二十五磅。不过他认为没关系，因为他不抽烟。

每周六菲尔身着运动夹克衫去上班。不穿西装，因为这是周末。

他手下有不少人，约六十名。大部分人多半时间都喜欢他。其中三人被认真考虑当作接他班的人选。讣告上没有提及这点。

但是讣告上的确颇为准确地列出了他的“遗嘱”，他的遗孀海伦，四十八岁，一个好女人，但没有什么适合市场需求的技能，结婚生育之前曾在办公室工作。据她女儿说，多年前，孩子们还小的时候，她就决定放弃与丈夫的工作竞争了。一位公司朋友说：“我知道你将会多么思念他。”她回答道：“我早就思念他了。”

“这么多年来一直思念着他”，她一定是牺牲了自己，竭尽全力照顾此公。她会得到“很好照顾的”。

他“深爱的”子女中的“深爱的”大儿子是南方的一家制造公司的经理，工作十分努力。在葬礼前一天半，他走访了街坊邻里，向他们打听父亲是怎样的一个人，他们感到很尴尬。

他的第二个孩子是个女儿，二十四岁，刚结婚。她住在娘家附近，与母亲很亲近。但每次和父亲单独在一起，比如开车到什么地方时，彼此竟无话可说。

最小的孩子二十岁，是个男孩，高中毕业生。和他的许多朋友一样，在过去的几年里他打了不少零工，挣的钱足够供自己吃饭吸大麻。就是他努力想牢牢抓住父亲，努力想让自己在父亲心目中显得更重要，好让此公留在家里。他是父亲的最爱。在这两年来，菲尔往往彻夜不眠，为这个儿子担忧。

这个儿子曾经说过：“我和父亲只是寄宿在这儿。”

在葬礼上，六十岁的公司总裁对四十八岁的寡妇说，五十一岁的死者对公司来说举足轻重，会被人怀念，很难被人取代。寡妇没有正视他，她怕他会看出自己的怨恨，毕竟她还需要他来解决一些经济方面的问题——比如优先认股权之类的事情。

菲尔体重超常，又有神经质，工作过于辛劳。即使人不呆在办公室里，心还是要牵挂着。菲尔是个A型行为者，天生容易患心脏病。你能在一排人中立马认出他。

因此，他在星期天凌晨三点整最终劳累致死时，没有人真正感到意外。
