Unit 1 The Way to Success

1 He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage.
2 They were thought to be slow learners in childhood, but they overcame their childhood
difficulties and made magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.
3 His strong will.
4 It means to keep their focus on achieving a positive end result, instead of letting small
problems get in the way of good results.
5 Because they have the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the
pursuit of their goals, and have the passion for success.
6 Because firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather than risk hiring a female lawyer,
which was unprecedented.
7 We should never give up on our dream, and one day we can change the world and make it a
better place.
8 The secret of success is built upon a burning inward desire---a robust, fierce will and
focus---that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are
tired and fail.

2 Critical thinking
1 You may have tried and failed many times before you finally get success. But it does not
matter. What matters is whether you can summon up(鼓起)all your courage again and again to
face the hardships standing in the way of success.
2 Luck, talent, good relationships with your colleagues, etc.
3 When I have realized that I am pursuing something that is hard to achieve, I would try to
stick to the goal. But l will begin to think of what I can do to improve the situation. When it
still doesn't work, I would try to analyze what the problem is and then make some changes
and probably reset my goal. Yes, sometimes we are pursuing the wrong goal which can never
be achieved, only to find ourselves in deep frustration and profound fatigue. In this situation, I
may give up the wrong goal and set up another goal that is achievable.
4 Following the guidance of senior people.
 Getting sound advice from our parents.
 Setting a correct goal.
 Achieving success step by step.
 Developing good interpersonal relationships.

Nowadays, many young people no longer choose "stable" jobs. Instead, they prefer to
start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts.
Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success
of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people's life,
but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in
upgrading China's economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people
to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and
small businesses. This further arouses young people's enthusiasm to start their own
businesses.

2．1 Jack's problem is solved by a carpenter. He told Jack to cut the legs off the bed. And then
Jack as certain that nobody was sleeping under it when he got into bed.
2 The answer is open-ended. For example, you might have the fear of darkness, the fear of
heights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to
overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear
picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear. You decided to expose
yourself to that fear in small doses until you gained a better understanding of it. As a result,
your fear began to disappear. Finally, you successfully changed the way you thought about
your fear. You started seeing fear as a source of energy and embraced its role in your life.
Scripts:
Jack went to a doctor. "Doctor," he said, "I've got trouble. Every time I lie in bed, I think
there's somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there's somebody on top of it. Top,
under, top, under. You've got to help me! It almost drives me mad!"
"Just put yourself in my hands for two years," said the doctor. "Come to me three times a
week, and I'll cure your fears."
"How much do you charge?"
"A hundred dollars a visit."
"I'll think about it," said Jack.
Six months later the doctor met Jack by chance
"Why didn't you ever come to see me again?" asked the doctor.
"For a hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars."
"Is that so? How?"
"He told me to cut the legs off the bed!"

1 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water
with an incredible impact and blacked out.
2 No, they couldn't. Because with the water's tow, they'd never get to the drowning boy.
3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy,
was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy.
4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him.
5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified.
6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason.
7 No, it wasn't. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was forcibly dragging
them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly
made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety.
8 Because Jason had already conquered his inner fear of water and he also felt relieved and
delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother.
Critical thinking

1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to:
 conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear;
 practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring
into physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed;
 make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety.
2 The fears may come from:
 our own past experience;
 other people's fears we witness;
 someone's description about their fears;
 influence of specific cultural and historical context.
3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach
the situation with confidence:
 Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain
to him that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show
her how serious be is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending
her a text message or calling her on the phone.
 Encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is
admirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is
asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes.
Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point.
 Suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is
unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity
for him to learn more about her and show her that be cares about her.
4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We
all know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by fear, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental
part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives:
  Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we
can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or
harmful.
 Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the
future. It isn't there to stop us; it's there to tell us that we are about to grow.
 Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new
resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to
succeed and achieve what we desire.
 Fear is necessary in developing our courage. We can't experience courage without the
presence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order to exist---like
darkness and light, or black and white.

Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been
the greatest Chinese expectation since modem times. It basically means achieving prosperity
for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every
enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life
is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through
diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people.
Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream,
for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese.

2 Based on our prior knowledge about what happens, if there is something wrong with the
nose-wheel steering and the whole landing gear system, we can infer that the passengers and

3 This sentence shows that the mother's gaze at the child displayed a deep care and which
calmed down the child in order to keep her from being influenced by the outside dangers,
implying that the mother's love was so great that it could help the little child all the outside

1·Love generates strength and confidence which help to overcome our inner fear.
Love is able to bring into full play the most courageous acts in the world, and love can
conquer our inner fear.
Becoming a more loving person toward others will help you to transcend your fear.
Becoming more loving toward yourself will help you to heal your fear.
2 Apart from love, I believe, there are many other factors that can help us cope with
challenges in life. Some of them are listed as follows:
 Confidence may strengthen our determination to handle any difficulties we are
confronted with.
 A sense of purpose in our life is critical when we feel lost under the great
 pressure of troubles.
 A strong social network is also useful. Maybe our problems could be easily
solved by the joint efforts from our social network composed of relatives,
friends, colleagues, etc
 Optimism can always make us filled with hope, helping us muster courage when
we are tortured by frustrations.
 Necessary problem-solving skills and strategies are most crucial to our
performance when we are facing challenges.
3 Tips to keep fear away during exams:
 Prepare well in advance and do not mug up(突击学习).
 Make time to relax.
 Revise properly. In order to prevent anxiety, the last few weeks before the
examination should be spent revising each subject.
 Be flexible during the exam. During the exam, if you get tensed or blank after
seeing difficult questions, skip them for the time being and attempt questions which
you find easier. Once you have completed them, go back to the difficult ones. In
this way, you will be able to answer them confidently.
4 The following are something that can be done to help overcome fear:
 It can be important to visit with a qualified therapist who can help the survivor
identify the root causes of the fear and address those underlying reasons for the
fear response.
 Support groups can be helpful as can a trusted friend who extends compassion in
the face of the survivor's fear. This type of response can go a long way in helping
victims work through their fear.

Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of
Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the
Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced
constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink
and wash painting, i.e, brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and
closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink
creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and
infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and
hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects. Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the
history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic
level of Oriental paintings.

Lijiang is a mountainous city in northwest Yunnan Province. The old town of Lijiang,
located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is a town of scenic beauty and known for
its history and culture. It’s also a well-preserved old town with features of ethnic minorities.
The construction work of the old town was started from the Southern Song Dynasty about 800
years from now. Not only does Lijiang boast a long history, but also it boasts many ethnic
minorities who make up over a half of the total population in the region. With the booming of
Lijiang tourism, the old town of Lijiang is receiving a growing number of tourists from home
and abroad. In December 1997, the old town succeeded in applying to be named a World
Cultural Heritage Site, filling the gap of lacking a noted historical and cultural city in China
on the World Cultural Heritage List.

英式下午茶的仪式可以迫溯到 19 世纪 40 年代，该传统是由之前英国的茶饮仪式和习惯发展而来的。茶最初在 17 世纪 50 年代晚
期被引入英国，但由于价格昂贵，所以很长一段时间里，只有皇家和贵族才能享用。直到将近 200 多年之后，英国人才养成吃下午茶的习惯。
在当时，英国人一日两餐: 快接近中午时分的丰盛早餐和晚上八点左右的晚餐。据说第七代贝德福德公爵夫人安娜开创了下午茶的传统，以此来
缓解晚餐前的饥饿感。她邀请朋友和她一起在下午四五点钟吃下午茶。下午茶中包括茶和一些点心，比如精致的蛋糕及三明治。这些小巧的美
食用精美的瓷器盛装。下午茶很快就流行开来，现在已经成为优雅英国生活方式的一个象征。正如小说家亨利詹姆斯写道的那样 :“人生鲜有比
全心全意享用下午茶这一仪式更惬意的时刻了。”

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala (Spring Festival Gala for short), which was started in
1983, has become an indispensable cultural consumer product and a cultural symbol in the
cultural life of the Chinese people. Though it’s hard to satisfy the tastes of all the people, it
has to be admitted that the Spring Festival Gala has become a “new custom” for the public
that they can’t live without. The Spring Festival Gala is more than a gala; it is a ritual and a
symbol, a culture and a label, and an emotion and a place where people entrust their hearts to.
With the development of the times and the emerging of new media, the audiences are having
more diversified choices and demands. Correspondingly, the Spring Festival Gala is also
advancing with the time to satisfy the growing cultural needs of the people.
