TranslationI consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input.

On the one hand, rote learning/learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization/learning by heart with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit/do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.第二单元VocabularyI. 1. 1) local3)deserved 5)system7)remote2) headlines 4) folks6) steer clear of 8) get away with11) retire12) rally13) reserved14) qualify15) cultivate9) open up10) hold toStruclurc2.1) The young woman described to the policemen the way the man ran up to her and grabbed thebag from her hand.2) All the people working for Sam Walton admire the way he manages Wal-Mart and the way he treats his employees.3) The neighbors were disgusted at the way he talked to his old father.4) Its amazing the way the eight-year-old boy managed to stay so calm when he faced the emergency.II.

TranslationThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery, linguists/language scientists now tend to believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source; the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In its over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, and such borrowing has greatly enriched its vocabulary. As settlers landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.第八单元VocabularyI. 1. 1) universal2) current3) worked his way4) deny5) melt6) came through7) threat8) combat9) in the name of10) raged11) vote12) concerns13) in part14) reality15) urgentStructure2.1) When Mount Qomolangma was remeasured in 1987 by a more accurate method, it was foundto be 24 meters higher than previously believed.2) The central heating system has proved less effectiv
