Key to Writing Practice Part I In the United States there is a belief that people are rewarded for working, producing and achieving. Many people believe that there is equality of opportunity that allows anyone to become successful. This belief is illustrated by stories written by a nineteenth-century American novelist, Horatio Alger, who wrote about the "American Dream". In his stories he described Ix)or people who became rich because of their hard work, honesty, and luck. The stories reinforced the idea that all individuals, no matter how poor, were capable of becoming wealthy as long as they were honest and hard-working. For many Americans, however, Horatio Alger's "rags-to-riches" stories do not represent the reality of opportunity. Many poor immigrants who came to the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries were able to become rich. Today, however, the poor generally do not rise to the middle and upper classes. That is why the "American Dream" is now described as a myth. Part II A young man, though eager to find a job, turned down a teaching post at a boys' school. During the interview he found the headmaster very unpleasant to talk with. In fact, he and the headmaster had very little in common. They disagreed sharply in their views on education, particularly on the importance of games in the education of young boys. Also, the young man found that he was expected to teach almost all subjects, including the two he hated algebra and geometry. Worse still, he would be required to play cricket with his class on Saturday afternoons when his friends would all be enjoying themselves. He was still considering accepting the job even at the pitiful wage of twelve pounds a week, when he was told that he would be working under the headmaster's wife. In the eyes of the young man, nothing could be more insulting than having to take orders from a woman boss. He had to refuse the job. 大学英语精读第三版第二册 Book2Unit4 答案 上海外语教育出版社 董亚芬主编 III 1. 1) few 2) A little 3) little 4) few 5) a few little 6) a few few 7) little 8) few 2. 1) function 2) corresponded with each other 3) immune to 4) at ease 5) displayed 6) approach 7) puzzle 8) a household word 9) capable of carrying out 10) so much so that 3. 1) a series of 2) approaches 3) are pursuing 4) ambition 5) fame 6) come to terms with 7) work out 8) singled out 9) personality 10) taken apart 11) at ease 12) observe 13) modest 14) application 15) curiosity 16) solutions 4. 1) He writes exclusively for the "Washington Post". 2) The friendship your people have for our people impressed me deeply during my visit in your country./ I was deeply impressed during my visit in your country by the friendship your people
