Loneliness is a curious thing. Most of us can remember feeling most lonely when we were
not in fact alone at all, but when we were surrounded by people. Everyone has
experienced, at
some time, that utter sense of
isolation that comes over you when you're at a party or in an
audience at a lecture. It suddenly seems to you as if everybody knows everybody else; everybody
is sure of himself; everybody, that is, except you.
This feeling of
loneliness which can overcome you when you are in a crowd is very
difficult to get rid of. People living alone are advised to
tackle their
loneliness by joining a club
or a society, by going out and meeting people. Does this really help?
There are no easy solutions. Your first day at work, or at a new school or university, is a
typical situation in which you are likely to feel lonely. You feel that everybody else is full of
confidence and knows what to do, but you are adrift and helpless. The fact of the mater is that, in
order to survive, we all put on a show of self-confidence to hide our uncertainties and doubts.
In a big city it is particularly easy to get the feeling that everybody except you is leading a
full, rich busy life. Everybody is going somewhere, and you tend to assume that they are going
somewhere nice and interesting, whereas your
destination is less exciting and fulfilling.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
2. We feel mostly lonely when we __________.
3. What do people usually do to
tackle their
loneliness?
4. Why do we try to hide our sense of
loneliness when we start a new job?
What do you tend to assume other's life to be
5. What do you tend to assume other's life to be when you are in a big city?

五、写作
1.文章怎样开头?
学生写作时感到最难的莫过于开头。其实只要注意这两点,一能激起读者的兴趣,二和主题有关,什么都可以写。下面是几种常用的开头法。
1) 惊语法
就是用一个令人感到吃惊甚至震惊的事实或观点开头以引起读者的好奇心。
Each year thousands of graduates flood the job market, waving their college diplomas and certificates, expecting better jobs in their majors, only to be frustrated and disappointed......
2) 引语法
即用一个人们熟悉的
名人名言,常用的习语、谚语、警句等作为开头。
Can you make a horse drink even if you can lead it to the water? In my opinion,
compulsory class attendance does more harm than good.
3) 对立法
文章开始先摆出一般人对所讨论的问题的看法,然后笔锋一转,在否定这样看法的同时,直接引出作者对这个问题的不同看法。
There seems to be an increased tendency that when a person is dying of a form of cancer, or other kinds of
incurable diseases. His family will send him to a hospital, no matter how much it may cost. They think that this is a correct expression of their love for him, for he can receive the best possible medical and surgical treatment at a hospital. Despite their good intentions However, I believe, a dying person should spend his last remaining days at home, with his family around and in the warmth of their love.
4)问题法
用文章要展开讨论的或有争议性的问题来发问。
Should a
scientist be responsible for his discoveries? To some people, the answer is
negative. They think the
scientist's role is to make the discovery and provide knowledge. What happens afterwards is not his concern.

即通过生动地描写,把文章要讨论的主题,或事物反映出来。
Advertisements, perhaps, are the most omnipresent in a big city such as Shanghai. They shout at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; wave to us from every page of the newspaper and magazine, gaze at us from the
roadside buildings and passing
vehicles all day and signal to us in colored lights all nights......
8)主题法
文章第一句就直接点出主题或亮出作者对问题的看法。开门见山,直截了当,使这一句成为全文思想内容的凝聚点。
Perhaps nothing is more important and
dominant in the modern Chinese family than television. According to a nationwide poll, Chinese adults watch an average of four hours of television daily, children watch even more.

19) 如果用的是归纳性结构,20) 即文章的主要观点放在末尾来表达的,21) 那么结尾部分就要对全文阐述的内容进行概括和总结。
(说明:要避免下列结尾 1)画蛇添足。文章写完了,发现字数不够,就随便加上几句。而这几句恰好游离于文章的中心思想之外,或与其观点恰好相反。2)空喊口号。用口号来结尾的文章,自以为有力量,实际上最空洞无力。如:Do it now! Do it from ourselves! Let's make our city greener!等。3)表决心。把中文文章结尾常用的"今后我决心... "句型搬过来。)

12 总结:in conclusion, in short, in brief, in
summary, on the whole, to sum up.
23) 实词的运用
(1) 重复(2) 关键词 (2)运用同(3) 义词。同(4) 义词的使用不(5) 仅避免了用词单调,而(6) 且加强上下文意思的连贯。 (3)运用反义词。反义词虽散落在各个句子里,(7) 但依靠它们表示出来的反义关系把这些句子从意义上联系起来了。(4)运用语义场。通过在1同(8) 的句子里使用属于同(9) 一语义场的词如reading, writing, language, stories, news, newspapers,使段落自然产生了一种意思上的连续感。

1 When I was going back home from college at four o'clock in the afternoon last Friday, that is June 13th, 2003, I witnessed a terrible car accident. The accident took place on the Middle Fuxin Road.
2 As far as I could remember, I was walking on the
pavement and a blue Santana swiftly passed by. When it approached a truck parked on the
roadside, suddenly, a girl stepped out from behind the truck. On
seeing the girl, the car driver pulled a sudden brake. But it was too late. The girl was hit by the car and bounced off at least three meters. Then she lay on the road, her legs
seemingly seriously injured. The police and the
ambulance arrived in less than five minutes and the girl was sent to hospital immediately.
3 That is all I had seen. To me the main cause of the accident might be like this: The girl was just about to walk to the other side of the road when the car moved near. But for the big truck, she should have seen the approaching danger. Un
fortunately, her view was blocked by the huge
vehicle, which evidently led to the tragedy.
