The frontiers of biology are being steadily pushed back more rapidly than ever before. Nowadays it is quite possible for scientists to alter species at will. This new advanced technique, if properly applied, will certainly shape our lives positively. However, cloning, the most recent advance in biotechnology, is challenged vigorously by many people, who believe that it probably harbors grave dangers, they insist that scientific development should never be achieved at the expense of social morality or the long-term interests of human beings.

A: 消防队员们的工作极其困难而又艰巨。火在去多地方不断地燃烧起来。消防队员们开来了数量消防车，带来了其他消防器材。他们几乎用超人的努力试图扑灭大火。但是燃烧的大火迸发的火星又不断引起无数个火情。由于现场的温度太高，消防队员们根本无法接近大火，去多房屋因此燃为灰烬。消防队员们仍旧坚守岗位，几乎超出了人体忍耐力的极限，许多人差一点因为体力不支而倒下。但既便如此，没有他们所付出的努力的话，损失会更加严重

B: Fire, along with floods and earthquakes, is considered a serious natural disaster. Fires not only burn houses to ashes, but also pose a big threat to the life of human beings. Each year, there are many outbreaks of fire in the

world; some are started by arsonists while others are simply caused by a still burning cigarette end. The best way to prevent fires from happening is to publicize fire-prevention knowledge and education.

The largest-ever European study of passive smoking was carried out in 1998. it was found that the risk of developing lung cancer increased dramatically with the amount of time spent in smoky environment.

? 1998年欧洲对被动吸烟进行了最大规模的研究。

? 人们发现在烟雾缭绕的环境中呆的时间越长，患肺癌的危险也急剧增加。 Workers who spend up to 29 years in smoky environments have a fifteen percent greater chance of developing lung cancer. Those who have worked between 30 and 38 years have a 26 percent greater chance of catching the disease.

? 在吸烟环境中工作多达29年的那些人患肺癌的可能性增加了15%，

? 而在这样的环境中工作30年至38年的那些人患该病的可能性增加了26%。 吸烟危害的不仅是吸烟者本人，而且危及周围那些不吸烟者的身体健康。吸烟的人会说，吸烟是自己的权利，那么不吸烟的人是否也有呼吸新鲜干空气的权利呢？

? Smoking does harm not only to the smokers themselves, but also to the

non-smokers around them.

? If smokers say that they have the right to smoke, will non-smokers have the right

to breathe clean and fresh air?

一项调查表明，丈夫吸烟而妻子不吸烟，妻子患肺癌的危险是常人的10倍左右。吸烟者，为了自己和他人的身体健康，请戒烟吧！

? A study shows that non-smoking wives of smoking husbands are ten times more

likely to suffer from lung cancer.

? Smokers, quit smoking for the sake of your health and that of other people.

The survey found that people whose spouses smoked at home had a sixteen percent greater chance of contracting lung cancer, and those exposed to smoke at work had a seventeen percent increased risk, a figure in line with previous studies.

调查发现那些配偶在家吸烟的人患肺癌的可能性高出16%，而那些在工作场所被动吸烟 的人危险性又高出17%，这一数字与以往的研究一致。

Around 2,700 people in seven European countries took part in the research for seven years. Of these, 650 people had lung cancer but had never smoked, and 1542 were non-smokers. 在7 个欧洲国家有大约2，700人参与了为期7年的调查。在这些人当中，有650人身患肺

癌却从未抽过烟，有1，542人是不吸烟者。

All were asked about their exposure to smoke at home, in the workplace, in vehicles and public places up to the age of 18. There was no evidence of a link between childhood exposure to second hand smoke and lung cancer, which was consistent with previous studies.

所有人都被问及是否在18岁以前在家庭，工作场所，车辆和公共场所身处香烟烟雾之中。 没有证据表明儿时处在吸二手烟的环境与肺癌的发生有关，这与过去的研究结果也一致。

It is interesting to watch people of different nationalities and cultures mingling together in public places.

? 观察许多不同民族和不同文化的人在公众场合混杂在一起非常有意思。

? One of the best places to observe the way they communicate with each other is an airport. ? 观察他们互相交流方式的最佳场所之一就是机场。

? There you can see people from all over the world rubbing shoulders with each other. Each nationality

has its own language of posture and gesture.

? 在机场拟可以看到来自世界各地的人相互接触。每一个民族都有自己的体态语和手势语。

Since the body language used may have different meanings in different cultures, a harmless gesture by one person maybe seen as a deadly insult in another.

? 由于不同文化中所使用的体态语有不同的含义，一个人作出的并无恶意的手

势可能会被另一个人看成巨大的侮辱。

Fortunately, most people realize this, and make allowances, and so it is remarkable how they manage to communicate without giving offence.

? 幸运的是，大多数人认识到了这一点，并能互相体谅，因此他们居然能互相

交流而不冒犯对方，这是很不寻常的。

Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions.

? Some gestures are mutually understood (comprehensive).

? For instance, nod is universally understood as signifying approval, while

shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.

However, some other gestures may convey different messages to people of different nationalities.

? Improperly used, an innocent gesture may lead to misunderstanding or even

conflict in cross-cultural communication. Therefore, for the purpose of successful communication, it’s advisable to be aware of these differences and make good use of boy language.

Unit3 Travel is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it provides pleasure and recreation to millions of

people. It can also have huge educational advantages, since in theory it can broaden the mind, and give people a greater understanding about other countries, and cultures operate. Economically, the travel industry can have a huge impact on the local economy: it can bring jobs and prosperity to areas that were previously condemned to poverty.
