extraordinary comedy In their movies they found many ways of showing off funny actions They attracted large audience and received a lot of applause However their movies also sparked criticism Some people who didn t like the Three Stooges claimed they were too violent In a TV interview Moe and Larry were roused to defend themselves Their coarse brand they said shouldn t be taken seriously It was just cartoon violence 2 The stooges got their name and their start in an act called Ted Healy and His Stooges This act began paving the way for their exceedingly successful career Originally the team was composed of Larry Moe and Shemp However Shemp left for a career in more serious movies When Shemp left Curly took his place Shemp s clumsy character returned in 1964 after Curly suffered a stoke 3 Moe was the heart and soul of the team acting as both their main comic force and their director He was responsible for scripting many of the jokes He d also spend time providing his services as their business manager In 1934 the team began a series of comedy shorts that numbered more than 200 when they ceased in 1985 which won them numerous fans Despite all the criticism the Three Stooges are undoubtedly the most famous famous comedy team that history ever invented 在 20 世纪恐怕没有比活宝三人组更 成功的喜剧团队了 拉里 莫伊 克里因他们有特色的喜剧电影短片而出名 在他们演 的电影里 有好多让人觉得滑稽有趣的动作 他们吸引了大批的观众并且获得了许多掌声 然而 他们的电影也引发了一些批评

谢普又回来演他笨拙的角色 莫伊是这个组合的核心和灵魂人物 同 时充当主角和导演 他负责编写剧本中许多可笑的对话 同时像业务经理一样花时间为其他成员提供服务 从 1934 年到 1958 年 这个组合创作了 200 余部喜剧短片 这为他们赢得了不计其数的粉丝 尽管有许多人批评 但活宝三人组无疑是有史以来最有名 的喜剧组合 Unit 3 1 The challenges faced by all child protection caseworkers are obvious What is often not so obvious are the many rewards a caseworker career offers People often ask why anybody in their right mind would want to be a child protection caseworker habitually dealing with the most disadvantaged and troubled families in their community Caseworkers routinely come across disturbing cases of child abuse and neglect and clients who are not cooperative Being a caseworker means being an agent of positive change especially when the welfare sector is not just a job to you but a professional vocation 2 Child protection is a difficult and challenging career path to follow but the rewards fo exist Many of our caseworkers choose this career path out of a desire to contribute to the community To be part of a process can ultimately change a family s life and caseworkers may witness their intervention equip a young person so that his or her future prospects are improved Of course this does not occur with every intervention But when it happens it is a n rewarding experience And if you are wondering whether this experience makes the job worthwhile the answer is YES 3 A good indicator of how outside people look at the caseworker career has been the feedback from university students In 2006 there were 118 students on placements of caseworker career Those students who completed their placements in child protection told us about the great opportunity they have had to apply theory to practice the many chances of learning new skills and trying new skills and trying new tasks the sound knowledge available through training and how valuable becoming familiar with different welfare services was to their future career 所有的儿童保护社会工作者所面临的挑战是显而易见的 社会工作者在职业生涯中的遇见往往不是那么明显 人们经常会问

keep from getting left behind many developing countries are making an intensive effort to strengthen their telecommunications infrastructure This will help them catch up with the developed countries It was after all advanced telecommunications that gave some countries an economic advantage over others during the 20th century There is one place that developing nations are looking to improve upon That is enabling their citizens and businesses to get access to the Web They are installing advanced optical fibers These fibers a millimeter in diameter can bring the information superhighway to their door The initial investments that countries like Vietnam are making may seem too great because they still lack basic utilities like electricity and water However government officials say that these moves are strategic They are also confident that their countries will reap the benefits They will benefit from having more reliable and up to date telecommunications equipment and gaining more revenues One Vietnamese leader said It is understandable that people want to tackle their immediate problems first Still our entire future is at stake People don t always understand the breadth of the problem though He continued There are problems with using the antique communications equipment And if we continue to use such old equipment the gap between us and the developed world will continue to widen Sacrifices have to be made now so that our children will have a country with opportunities equal to those they see in the developed world It will not be far where they can cruise alongside Americans and Western Europeans on the information superhighway 我们正生活在一个电信革命的时代 为了保住从入门留下 许多发展中国家正在加紧努力 以加强其电信基础设施 这将有 助于他们赶上发达国家 它毕竟是先进的电信了比其他一些国家在 20 世纪的经济优势 有一个地方 发展中国家正在寻求改善 这使他们的公民和企业获得访问 Web

disappears awakening me to the fact that I am alone I am a n solitary observer on this isolated pond in the forest Here I sit alone as the last light of day fades away A lone wolf in the distance cries out Then darkness creeps in around me I return to my small hut to put the kettle on the stove and sit in solitude with a hot cup of tea until I want to sleep The fire inside the stove is low so I use the axe to split some wood and throw them in It gets the fire going I had made preparations to be here for the entire summer However after a month I am already lacking in supplies I didn t expect i would be tired of this experience so soon In the cupboards there is nothing but noodles and half a pint of wine I have become so sick of noodles Still I have to force myself to choke them down As I bring the teacup to my lips I consider whether I should return to civilization to gather supplies or simply abandon my adventure My observation is that self reliance is a bit boring I long to share a steak dinner with my friends to watch my niece play in the summer s heat Still my ego will not let me return to my family and friends just yer I had boasted to them about how being alone would bring about inspiration to writing poetry The fact is that I have written nothing 你有没有经历过自己独居吗 阳光消失了 唤醒了我这个事实 我是孤独的 我是一个 n 孤独的观察员这个与世隔绝的池塘在 森林里 这里我独自坐着的最后一天的光也消失了 一只孤独的狼在远处的喊叫 我周围的黑暗便在蠕动

应该回到文明收集物资或完全放弃我的冒险活动 我的观察是 自力更生是有点乏味 我渴望分享牛排晚餐与我的朋友们 看我的 侄女在夏天玩的热量 还是我的自尊心不让我回到我的家人和朋友们只是你们 我若对提多夸奖他们怎样孤独会带来灵感写诗 事实是 我已经写了什么 Unit 6 Bribery may lead to murder A month ago reporters rushed to the scene of a crime At the spot the detective seemed even hardly aware of their presence as he did dis work He carefully searched for clues over every inch of the house After a while he bent over to pick up a small torn piece of fabric Nothing could escape from his search The detective suspected that this piece of fabric was torn from the murderer s clothing during a struggle The victim had been the finance director of a very large computer hardware manufacturer His wife a timid woman shared everything she knew with the detective including a hot quarrel her husband had with some of the company s top executives at a banquet There had been a scandal involving bribery at his company He was investigating the business of many of the top executives He had concluded that some people were giving special favors to government officials to get contracts He often questioned their moral conscience and told them that he would accuse them if they were doing something they shouldn t which caused problems for him His questioning and accusing often left him at odds with many of the executives This time it had led to a fatal blow on his head The detective caught sight of a crucial clue A brass button in the corner It was from a jacket of one of the top executives Later his executive and the company s president was arrested Of course this is not the end of the story 贿赂可能导致谋杀 一个月前 记者赶到犯罪现场 在现场的侦探似乎甚至难以意识到自己的存在 因为他做了他的工作 他仔细地搜查了每一寸的房子的线索 过了一会儿 他弯腰捡起一个小织物的撕裂一块 没有什么能逃脱他的搜索 侦探怀疑这 块面料从凶手的衣服被撕裂的斗争中 受害者一直是一个非常大的计算机硬件制造商的财务总监 他的妻子 一个胆小的女人 她知道侦探 包括一个热的争吵 她的丈夫有一些公司的高层管理人员在宴会的一切共享 曾有过涉及他的公司的贿赂丑闻 他 被调查的许多高层管理人员的业务 他得出结论 一些人给予特殊照顾 政府官员获得合同 他常常质疑他们的道德良知 并告 诉他们 他会指责他们 如果他们做的东西 他们不应该 这引起了他的问题 他的质疑和指责往往相左 他与很多高管离开 这一次 它导致了一个致命的一击在他的头上 侦探抓住了一个重要的线索 在角落里的黄铜按钮的视线 这是从夹克的高层管 理人员之一 后来这个行政机关和公司的总裁被证实 当然 这并不是故事的结尾 Unit 7 Many Native Americans closely resemble Asians This has led most scientists to exceedingly believe something about Native Americans They think that most Native Americans descend from distant group of people These people migrated from Siberia across the Bering Strait between 17 000 11 000 years ago The exact time and route is still under question That is it is still a n matter of debate The time they traveled and the route they took is still being argued as is whether it happened at all Until recently some anthropologists argued that the migration occurred 12 000 years ago However there are a number of difficulties with this theory in particular the presence of people in the Americans earlier than one might think There is growing evidence of human presence in brazil and Chile 11 500 years ago or earlier There is also evidence of humans living in the Americas some 50 000 years ago Therefore other possibilities have been suggested They may have crossed the land bridge several thousand years earlier or they may have sailed along the western coast However some contest this theory They think that humans lacked skills for sailing during that era Some consider the genetic and cultural evidence for an Asian origin overwhelming It should be noted however that some other people are very upset at this idea Many present day Native Americans reject the above theories They say those who put forward such theories have political motivation They have their own traditional stories that offer accounts of where they came from Their own stories claim that their origins are different from what scientists say Those accounts though have mostly been ignored by scholars Therefore the origin of Americans still remains a mystery to be explored 许多印第安人酷似亚洲人 这导致了大多数科学家极其相信一些有关印第安人 他们认为 大多数印第安人从遥远的人组下 降 这些人穿过白令海峡之间 17 000 11 000 年前从西伯利亚迁移 确切的时间和路线是仍然受到质疑 也就是说 它仍然是一 个有争议的问题 前往的时候 他们和他们采取的路线仍被认为 无论它发生在所有 直到最近 一些人类学家认为 迁移发生 在 12000 年前 不过 也有一些困难 特别是这一理论的早期美洲人存在多个可能认为 有越来越多的证据表明人类的存在 在 巴西和智利在 11500 年前或更早 还有约 5 万年前生活在美洲的人类证据 因此 其他的可能性提出了建议 他们可能已经越过 陆桥几千年前 他们可能沿西部海岸航行 然而 这一理论一番较量 他们认为 人类在那个时代缺乏航海技能 有些人认为亚 洲起源的绝大多数遗传和文化的证据 然而 应当指出 另一些人吃了 在这个想法很不高兴 现今的许多印第安人拒绝了上述 理论 他们说 这些人提出这样的理论有政治动机 他们有自己的传统故事 他们来自何处 提供帐户 自己的故事声称 他们 的起源是科学家们说什么的不同 不过 这些账户 大多被学者所忽视 因此 美国人的起源仍是一个有待探索的奥秘 Unit 8 Here is the story about how the American civil rights movement started in the 1950s Tired as she was Mrs Parks walked past the first few mostly empty rows of seats marked Whites Only Black people were allowed to sit in these seats as long as no white person was standing Despite the fact that Rosa Parks hated segregation laws she had never done anything against the law She had been fighting for civil rights for more than 10 years but always legally However that day she did something that was illegal She found and sat in a n vacant seat in the back of the bus The bus continued along its route The driver noticed that all the seats in the Whites Only section were already taken And more white people had just climbed aboard He ordered the people in Mrs Parks row to move to the back where there were no open seats and people had to stand No one moved at first but when the driver barked at the black passengers a second time they did what they were told They all moved to the back except Rosa Parks She remained in the prohibited seat Consequently trouble occured Ms Parks was thrown in jail for defying the law This incident inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 1956 It also sparked the 20th century civil rights movement Mrs Parks quickly became the focus of that day She has been remembered as a brave fighter in the civil rights movement 以下是有关如何在 20 世纪 50 年代美国民权运动开始的故事 累了她 公园夫人走过去前几大多标有 白人 的席位空行 黑衣人被允许在这些座位坐下 只要没有白色的人站在 罗莎帕克斯痛恨种族隔离的法律 尽管事实上 她从来没有做过任何违 反法律 她一直在争取民权的为 10 年以上 但总是合法 然而 这一天 她做的东西是非法的 她发现 坐在公共汽车后面的一 个空缺席位 公交车继续沿着它的路线 司机发现已经采取了 白 一节中的所有席位 越白的人刚刚上了车 他下令帕克斯夫 人一行的人移动到后面 那里有没有开席和人民不得不站 没有人首先提出的 但是当驱动黑色乘客在第二次的咆哮 他们做了 什么 他们被告知 他们全部移到背面 除了罗莎 帕克斯 她仍然在被禁止的座位 因此 故障发生 女士公园被扔在监狱里 以身试法 这件事启发了 1955 1956 蒙哥马利公共汽车抵制 它也引发了 20 世纪的民权运动 夫人公园迅速成为当天的焦点 她一直记得 在民权运动的勇敢战士 Unit 9 Some people have criticized the Disney management for being culturally insensitive in building a theme park in France Disney has reacted to the accusation with comments of its own People from Disney have said that the company is very sensitive to the idea that its park shows a n lack of cultural concerns They have tried to make it more European by emphasizing European cultural elements The legends and fairy tales which come from Europe figure prominently in the park The creative development of the theme park in fact has a European base Disney has also claimed that the park will be special It will have a uniqueness appropriate to its European setting All the direction signs in the park will be in two languages They will be in French as well as in English Some performers in the park will chat in French Spanish and English On the other hand Disney will remain American Disney does concede that the park is American That is it does have an American cultural focus in essence Disney sees this through something important It is the main selling value to attract people The 320 million European citizens who live within a two hour flight want to visit Disney because it is American The Europeans coming to the park would be disappointed by a park that is strictly representative of their own countries The people who visit the park will be very happy with the American culture they see represented by Disneyland During their trip they will experience not only the cultures of Europe but also that of the US as well One thing is undeniable though All other previous theme parks in Europe have been unsuccessful It is not yet clear how a Disney theme park will do in France 有些人批评迪士尼管理 文化建设主题公园在法国的敏感 迪斯尼的指控作出反应 用自己的意见 从迪斯尼的人说 该公 司是非常敏感的想法 其公园缺乏文化的关注 他们试图通过建立欧洲文化元素 使更多的欧洲 的传说和童话 来自欧洲的数 字 在公园突出 主题公园的创意发展 事实上 有一个欧洲的基地 迪斯尼还声称 该公园将是特殊的 将其在欧洲的设置适 当的唯一性 在公园里的所有指示标志将在两种语言 他们将在法国以及在英语 在公园里的一些演员 将法语 西班牙语和英 语聊天 另一方面 迪斯尼将保持美国 迪斯尼不承认 该公园是美国 也就是说 它在本质上有一个美国文化的焦点 迪斯尼 认为重要的东西 它的主要卖点来吸引人们 320 万欧洲公民生活在两个小时的飞行想要去迪斯尼乐园 因为它是美国 欧洲未 来园区将感到失望的是严格代表自己的国家公园 入园参观的人会很高兴与美国文化 他们看到由迪士尼乐园在他们的行程表示 他们将不仅体验欧洲的文化 而且在美国 以及 有一件事是不可否认的 虽然以前
