第二单元 Para1

He was born in a poor area of South London. He wore his mother's old red stockings cut down for ankle socks. His mother was temporarily declared mad. Dickens might have created Charlie Chaplin's childhood. But only Charlie Chaplin could have created the great comic character of \ Para2

Other countries—France, Italy, Spain, even Japan—have provided more applause (and profit) where Chaplin is concerned than the land of his birth. Chaplin quit Britain for good in 1913 when he journeyed to America with a group of performers to do his comedy act on the stage, where talent scouts recruited him to work for Mack Sennett, the king of Hollywood comedy films.

第三单元 Para1

A welfare client is supposed to cheat. Everybody expects it. Faced with sharing a dinner of raw pet food with the cat, many people in wheelchairs I know bleed the system for a few extra dollars. They tell the government that they are getting two hundred dollars less than their real pension so they can get a little extra welfare money. Or, they tell the caseworker that the landlord raised the rent by a hundred dollars. Para2

I have opted to live a life of complete honesty. So instead, I go out and drum up some business and draw cartoons. I even tell welfare how much I make! Oh, I'm tempted to get paid under the table. But even if I yielded to that temptation, big magazines are not going to get involved in some sticky situation. They keep my records, and that information goes right into the government's computer. Very high-profile. Para3

As a welfare client I'm expected to bow before the caseworker. Deep down, caseworkers know that they are being made fools of by many of their clients, and they feel they are entitled to have clients bow to them as compensation. I'm not being bitter. Most caseworkers begin as college-educated liberals with high ideals. But after a few years in a system that practically requires people to lie, they become like the one I shall call \

第四单元 Para1

A transformation is occurring that should greatly boost living standards in the developing world. Places that until recently were deaf and dumb are rapidly acquiring up-to-date

telecommunications that will let them promote both internal and foreign investment. It may take a decade for many countries in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe to improve transportation, power supplies, and other utilities. But a single optical fiber with a diameter of less than half a millimeter can carry more information than a large cable made of copper wires. By installing optical fiber, digital switches, and the latest wireless transmission systems, a parade of urban centers and industrial zones from Beijing to Budapest are stepping directly into the Information Age. A spider's web of digital and wireless communication links is already reaching most of Asia and parts of Eastern Europe. Para2

All these developing regions see advanced communications as a way to leap over whole stages of economic development. Widespread access to information technologies, for example, promises to condense the time required to change from labor-intensive assembly work to industries that involve engineering, marketing, and design. Modern communications \give countries like China and Vietnam a huge advantage over countries stuck with old technology\第五单元 Para1

Here we are, all by ourselves, all 22 million of us by recent count, alone in our rooms, some of us liking it that way and some of us not. Some of us divorced, some widowed, some never yet committed. Para2

Loneliness may be a sort of national disease here, and it's more embarrassing for us to admit than any other sin. On the other hand, to be alone on purpose, having rejected company rather than been cast out by it, is one characteristic of an American hero. The solitary hunter or explorer needs no one as they venture out among the deer and wolves to tame the great wild areas. Thoreau, alone in his cabin on the pond, his back deliberately turned to the town. Now, that's character for you.

第二单元 Passge1

Outside the movie theater in virtually and American town in the late 1910s stood a life-size cardboard figure of Charlie Chaplin. He was pictured in baggy pants, a cutaway coat and vest, impossibly large, worn-out shoes and a battered hat. The advertisement would bear the inscription I AM HERE TODAY. An advertisement for a Charlie Chaplin film was a promise of happiness, of that valuable, almost shocking moment when art delivers what life cannot.

Eighty years later, Chaplin is still here. In a 1995 worldwide survey of film critics, Chaplin was voted the greatest actor in movie history. He was the first, and to date the last, person to control every aspect of the filmmaking process——founding his own studio, United Artists, with Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith, and producing, casting, directing, writing, scoring and editing the movies he starred in. In the first decades of the 20th century, when weekly movie-going was a national habit, Chaplin more or less invented global recognize ability and helped turn an industry into an art. In 1916, his third year in films, his salary of $10,000 a week made him the highest-paid actor-possibly the highest paid person——in the world. By 1920,“Chaplinitis”, accompanied by a flood of Chaplin dances, songs, dolls, comic books and cocktails, was rampant. Filmmaker Mack Sennett thought him “just the greatest artist who ever

lived”. Other early admirers included George Bernard Shaw, Marcel Proust and Sigmund Freud. In 1923 Hart Crane, who wrote a poem about Chaplin, said his pantomime手势，哑剧 “represents the hopeless gesture of the poet today”. Later, in the 1950s, Chaplin was one of the icons of the Beat Generation. Jack Kerouac went on the road because he too wanted to be a tramp. From 1981 to 1987, IBM used the tramp as the logo to advertise its venture into personal computers. 翻译:

八十年后，卓别林仍然在这里。在一个电影评论1995全球调查，卓别林被选为电影史上最伟大的演员。他是第一个，迄今为止，最后，个人控制电影制作的各个方面——成立自己的工作室，美国艺术家，以道格拉斯，玛丽璧克馥和D.W.格里菲思，制造，铸造，导演，写作，评分和编辑他所出演的电影。在第二十个世纪的前几十年，当每周的电影是一个国家的习惯，卓别林或多或少发明了全球识别能力和帮助一个行业成为一种艺术。1916，他在第三年的电影，他的工资是10000美元一个星期使他片酬最高的演员可能是工资最高的人——在这个世界上。1920，“chaplinitis”，伴随着大量的卓别林的舞蹈，歌曲，娃娃，漫画书和鸡尾酒，猖獗。导演马克·塞内特认为他“最伟大的艺术家谁住”。其他早期的崇拜者，包括萧伯纳，普鲁斯特和西格蒙德佛洛伊德。1923起重机，一个关于卓别林的诗是谁写的，他的哑剧手势说，哑剧”代表诗人的绝望的姿态今天”。后来，在上世纪50年代，卓别林是一个“垮掉的一代”的图标。杰克凯鲁亚克走在路上，因为他太想成为一个流浪汉。从1981到1987，IBM使用的流浪汉的标志宣传其进入个人电脑。 书上题目：

Lives like Chaplin’s are now being systematically studied by social scientists. They are finding

that all children subjected to homelessness and sever stress don’t turn out the same way. While many become severely disturbed adults, others, like Chaplin, surprisingly turn out to be smart and resourceful.

As adults they may go on to lead paradoxically high-achieving and remarkable lives as valued members of society. Chaplin was such a person.

Chaplin’s first feature-length comedy and masterpiece, The Kid ( 1921 ), was a remarkable film in which the Little Tramp found, adopted and raised a lost child. While The Kid derived its immediate inspiration from 30-year-old Chaplin’s personal bereavement (his first-born son had died a few days after birth, only two and a half weeks before Chaplin began shooting the film), its twin themes of emotional loss and homelessness resonated with contemporary social concerns. On everyone’s minds were the displaced refugee children of World War I, as well as for those persons grieving for loved ones killed in that war.

And among intellectuals, Charlie’s cinematic lost child spoke to a lost generation. No movie maker and no other movie ( with the exception Griffith’s Birth of a Nation ) had done as much in one single stroke to earn instant recognition for the cinema as a legitimate art form.

During the worldwide economic crisis of the 1930s, Chaplin attempted to place the serious problems of society into a comic perspective through the running satiric commentary of Modern Times.

It was his next picture, The Great Dictator (1940), that got Chaplin into the political hot water that ultimately led to his being barred from the United States. While he was on a visit to England in 1952, his reentry permit would be revoked (撤回) as retribution for his so-called communist sympathies and moral character. It was an ironic twist that Chaplin himself had forecast in a famous gag (打诨) sequence in Modern Times. 翻译:

生活就像卓别林的现在被社会科学家系统研究。他们发现，所有的孩子都受到无家

可归和严重应激结果不一样。虽然许多成为严重干扰人，人，像卓别林，令人惊讶的是变得机敏。

作为成年人，他们可能会导致矛盾的是高成就和卓越的生活作为社会的重要成员。

卓别林是这样一个人。

卓别林的第一部长篇喜剧杰作（1921），是一个了不起的电影中的小流浪汉发现，收

养了一个迷路的孩子。当孩子得到其直接的灵感来自于卓别林的个人丧岁（他的第一个出世的儿子只有两周半之前，卓别林开始拍摄电影出生后，过几天就死了），它的双主题情感损失和无家可归的共鸣与当代社会问题。在每个人的心中都流离失所的难民儿童的世界大战，以及对那些人的亲人在那场战争中死亡的悲伤。 而在知识分子中，查利的电影失去了孩子，失去的一代说话。没有电影，没有其他的电影（除了格里菲思的一个国家的诞生）所做的一样，在一个单一的行程赚的电影作为一种真正的艺术形式瞬间识别。

上世纪30年代的世界经济危机期间，卓别林试图将社会的严重问题，变成了一种滑稽的角度通过运行讽刺评论现代倍。

这是他的下一个画面，大独裁者（1940），让卓别林为他最终LED被禁止参与美国政治的热水。当他在1952去英国访问，将吊销他的回乡证（撤回）作为他所谓的共产主义的同情和道德报应。这是一个讽刺，卓别林本人曾预测在一个著名的GAG（打诨）在现代时间序列。 书上题目：

第三单元 Passage2

The administration, which already declared part of its plan to revise the landmark 1996 welfare law, plans to announce its proposals on Tuesday. Mr. Bush told the nation's governors meeting here today that he would ask Congress to approve new work requirements but would also seek to give states the flexibility to meet the needs of people who need training or drug abuse (吸毒) treatment.

Still, Mr. Bush said, \ought to be the core of welfare reform.\In an excerpt (摘录) from an advance text of his speech, Mr. Bush declares: \of welfare reform, but we are not content. We ended welfare as we've known it, yet this is not a post-poverty America. Child poverty is still too high, too many families are strained and fragile (易碎的) and broken, too many Americans still have not found work. Because these needs continue, our work is not done.\

At least 50 percent of a state's welfare families must now participate in work and other activities aimed at self-sufficiency; Mr. Bush proposes to raise that requirement so that 70 percent must be working by 2007. Administration officials also said they hoped to close loopholes (堵塞漏洞) that render the work requirement, in some cases, largely meaningless.

The administration plans to require welfare recipients (享受者) to work 40 hours a week
