is hard to escape the fact that in developed societies, despite progress,
innovation and prosperity, there is something not quite right. 人们很难摆脱这样一种事实:在发达的社会,尽管社会进步,改革日新月异,物质富足,却
总觉得有 些事情不大对劲.

flummoxed by immeasurable concepts such as the value people place on spending
time with their families. 政治家们满脑子的投入与产出,目标与调控,而对于诸如人们有多看重与家人共度时光之
类的无法用 数字测量的概念,他们往往感到困惑不已.
r reason is that electoral cycles lend themselves to a culture of
short- termism, with a need for immediate, quantifiable measurements and results.
另一个原因是:一轮轮的竞选让他们置身于急 功近利的氛围,期待立竿见影的、量化的测

Unit 1
李 明是学化学的，性格开朗幽默，颇有魅力，但英语成绩不佳，每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他，英
语不好 会阻碍他拿奖学金，并亮出了自己的王牌：如果李明不努力，就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉
他，学习英 语不能只为了文凭，否则他即使大学毕业，也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定，但他明
白，他的学业生 涯正在攸关之际，必须安心下来埋头学习，坚持不懈。
Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous
temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The
teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship.
What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would
flunk him.
He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his

diploma, otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be
semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that
he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was
at stake.
Unit 2
我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育，既美丽又端庄，三十好几依然 没有人向她求婚。究其原因，她的事
业心极强，整日扑在工作上，每天来往于住处和公司之间，根本没有 时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这
么大了还单身一人，她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好，甚至还 去咨询一些社会学专家。
但是事情在上个月出现了转机，公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位 上，琳达遇到了第一个
触动她心弦的男人。从此，他们几乎每天约会，琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个 男人。决定嫁人的
时候，她告诉了我这个好消息。虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事，我 也担忧未来究
竟会怎样，但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福，并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从 中的一员。
Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and
elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over reason is that she,
as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home
and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite
sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still
remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted
with some sociologists.
But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company
transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post , Linda met a man
who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated
virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond
all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me.
Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies
and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt
wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and
groomsmen.
Unit 3
食 品供应商缺乏诚信已经成为当今社会的一大问题。部分企业欺骗公众，故意散布假消息，颂扬食品
添加剂 是食品工业的伟大成就，并声称适量的添加剂对健康有益无害。部分有良知的科学家对食品添
加剂的含量 和毒性展开了深入的病理学研究。研究结果表明，部分常见的食品添加剂经长期，可能会
对健康产生危害 ，这被认为是食品安全研究方面极为重要的一项成就。尽管一小撮由厂商雇佣的怀疑
论者质疑研究的科学 性，并嘲笑人们胆子太小，但不少消费者已经开始重视食品添加剂问题，并转而
食用天然食物和新鲜食物 。部分专家表示，一旦消费者针对食品商的欺诈行为提起诉讼，他们愿意提
供证词。
The disingenuousness of food suppliers has become a serious issue in today’s
society . Some of them defraud the public by disinformation and extolling food
additives as a great achievement in food industry. They also claim that additives
at a moderate level do no harm to health.
Some righteous scientists have made in-depth pathological investigations into
the content and toxicity of food findings, which suggest that some common food
additives may lead to health risks if used for a long time, are regarded as a

landmark event in the research of food security.
Although a gaggle of skeptics hired by food manufacturers question whether such
researches are scientifically based and even deride people as timid, many
consumers are beginning to pay attention to food additives and turning to natural
and fresh food. Some experts promise to give testimony if any consumer charges
food suppliers with racketeering.
Unit 5
在现代社会，尽管社会进步，物质丰富，人们总 感到有些地方不对劲，但却又难以明确指出到底问题
出在哪儿。空虚，没有归属感，缺乏稳定的社会关系 似乎都成为人们略感不快的来由。人们对于快乐
这个棘手的话题，似乎都有共识：若问及人们生活怎样， 他们会谈及他们的家人、工作等而非仅仅是
回答他们的薪水多少。对他们而言，生活的质量比薪水的数量 更加重要。而政治家们却对此难以理解，
为这些难以测量的家庭价值观念而感到困惑。实际上，政府可以 发挥积极地作用来响应人们对于快乐
幸福的渴望。最终，整个社会的幸福需要我们大家共同参与，确实， 参与本身就能带来快乐。
In modern societies, despite the social progress and prosperity. People always
feel that there is something not quite right. However , it is hard for them to
put a finger on it. A feeling of emptiness and not belonging, a lack of defined
solid relationship seem to be the sources of unhappiness. People all agree on the
great conundrum of personal happiness: when asked how they are, they will answer
in terms of their family life and work life rather than just what they are paid.
For them, the quality of life means more than the quantity of salary.
However, politicians find it hard to grasp the subject, and are flummoxed by
immeasurable concepts such as the family value. As a matter of fact, the government
can take a provocative role to respond to the yearning for happiness. Ultimately
society’s happiness requires us all to play our part, and indeed, playing our
part is part of being happy.
