★startwith以……开始Notesas作连词，表示“当……的时候”。“thatprogramsfearintoourmindsandheart”是定语从句，修饰“thenegativeside”。我们选择忽视真相是因为害怕知道真相带来的后果，害怕在自己的生活中做出改变。大多数人都喜欢安心地待在自己家里，每个角落都摆满食物，机械地看着电视，（偶尔）用自己的充满戏剧性的故事和别人的八卦来分散下注意力。我们习惯这样并没有错，因为这已经根植到了我们文化当中，错就错在明明知道真相而不去改变。PartⅡWechoosetobeignorant4becauseweareafraidofwhatthetruthwillbringandweareafraidthatwewillhavetomakechangesinourownlives.Mostofuseasilyliveinthecomfortofourownhomesmindlesslywatchingtelevisionwithalotoffoodoneverycorneranddistracting5ourselveswithourowndramaorthegossiping6overothers.Itisnotourfaultthatwehavecometothisbecauseithasbeeninstilled7withinourculture.Weareonlytoblamewhenweknowthetruthandtakenoactiontochange.TextAIntensiveReading1(2)★distract/dɪˈstrækt/vt.totakesb.’sattentionawayfromwhattheyaretryingtodo转移（注意力）；分散（思想）；使分心~sb./sth.fromsth.e.g.You’redistractingmefrommywork.你使我不能专心工作。★distracting/dɪ‘stræktɪŋ/adj.使（人）分心的，分散（注意力）的e.g.It’sdistractingtohavesomeonewatchingmewhileIwork.我工作的时候要是有人看着就会分心。“watchingtelevision…”“distractingourselves…”是动词的现在分词作状语，表示状态；“withalotoffoodoneverycorner”和“withourowndramaor…”表伴随。

★takeaction采取行动，行动起来e.g.Wehavetotakeactiontostopthem.我们得采取行动来制止他们。Notes“watchingtelevision”是动词的现在分词作状语，表示状态，watching，distracting和gossiping是并列的短语。PartⅡTextAIntensiveReading22

Culturemakesuswhowearebecausewitheveryculturecomesastory,asetofbeliefsystems,andawayofbeing.文化造就了我们，因为每种文化背后都有自己的故事、信仰价值体系和生活方式。

★bebasedon以……为基础e.g.Actionshouldbebasedonsolidfacts.行动应有确凿的事实为依据。★basesth.on/uponsth.以……为基础；根据e.g.Whatareyoubasingthistheoryon?你这种理论的根据是什么？★principle/ˈprɪnsəpl/n.alaw,aruleoratheorythatsth.isbasedon法则；原则；原理e.g.Therearethreefundamentalprinciplesofteamwork.团队合作有三个基本原则。★inprinciple①原则上；理论上e.g.Inprinciplethiswouldbepossible.原则上，这是有可能的。②大体上；基本上e.g.IagreewithitinprinciplebutIdoubtifitwillhappeninpractice.我大体上同意这一点，但是怀疑它是否能够付诸实践。

★disempowerment/dɪsɪm'paʊɜːmənt/n.去权★negativity/ˌnegə'tɪvəti/n.否定性，消极性★portray

/pɔː'treɪ/v.描绘；描画；描写★materialistic
