8. Formal consent for this new type of treatment was obtained from each patient and the study (conformed to) our institution's guidelines concerning medical ethics (伦理). Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will (1)(eventually) find a way to do it well. The (2)(premier) point is that you must have the will to achieve success.

Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any (3)(endeavor) to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.

On many occasions, people tend to (4)(bypass) every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the (5)(handicaps) and achieve their goals.

Only those with a(n) (6)(committed) and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have (7)(attained) their prestige because they have had the will to (8)(transcend) apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will,

which has helped them to accomplish major (9)(feats).

Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the (10)(slightest) use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and will make it a

point to succeed.

Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence. It's a developmental process that is (1)(characterized) by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating (2)(aspects) of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the (3)(amount) of focus we have for the feelings and needs of others.

While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy temperament (性格) can carry the adolescent fears, which may never (4)(recede) , into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when (5)(exposed) to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous. This may result in a(n) (6)(vicious) circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.

To cope with the problem, I would like to (7)(challenge) you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your (8)(excessive) focus on yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯). But if you begin to build a new response, in (9)(reaction) to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness (10)(paralyze) you! Be

courageous!

Unit 3

Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film (1)(domain).

She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to (2)(define) a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin (小精灵似的) beauty. Today's (3)(popularity) of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence. Although she appeared frail (脆弱的), she was (4)(mentally) strong. At the end of her acting career when she entered a(n) (5)(diplomatic) career as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly (6)(committed) to her cause that she was held in highest esteem (尊重) by even the most hardened politicians.

Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 19, doing radio presentations. She always said it was happy to (7)(devote) her life to helping impoverished (穷困的) children after her own good fortune in (8)(surviving) the hardship of the Nazi occupation of Holland. She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and (9)(embarked) on trips to many countries. She was always positive: \"People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening.\" In 1992, her (10)(humanitarian) work with those in need was recognized when she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity.

Unit 4

\"Why would you leave behind your comfortable bed, your home, your family and friends? Why do you want to go alone?\" When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why. I seldom get time to sit down and (1)(contemplate) the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once you step outside of your (2)(comfort) zone. My first overseas trip was at 14 years old, which (3)(sparked) my curiosity for the world. Since finishing high school I have (4)(ventured) through various countries and been amazed by all the (5)(diverse) cultures scattered around the globe. My eyes are my greatest asset as they have (6)(witnessed) the most beautiful scenes that replay in my mind every day: (7)(stunning) landscapes, friendly locals, breath-taking architecture, and food that makes your mouth water once your eyes catch a(n) (8)(glimpse).

Traveling teaches you to be independent in the most (9)(positive) way. I know how to depend on myself, go out and meet people, and not let anyone else's expectations (10)(dictate) my life. Every day I see my dream and every day it's in a new place. I am 22 years young. I quite agree with Anthony Bourdain, \"If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go.\"

Unit 5

In a study conducted in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five (1)(employees) were happy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popular (2)(notion), friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary or the love for the work, have been found to be the (3)(primary) causes of happiness at work. So, how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time, (4)(foster) a

sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and complete job satisfaction in the workplace.

Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it (5)(reflects) an attitude, though not many people realize it. Staying happy at work is totally based on your (6)(motivations) and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on (7)(monetary) rewards or material gain. Dwelling on (老是想着) the good (8)(aspects) of the work rather than rattling on and on (对...喋喋不休) about what makes you unhappy is the basic key to happiness. Negativity and (9)(gossiping) about bad things may be easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job. As Francesca Reigler puts it, \"Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves (10)(miserable), or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.\"

The American Dream is a national ethos (精神特质) of the United States.美国梦是美利坚合众国的民族精神。 The term is used in many ways, but it essentially is an idea that suggests that anyone in the US can succeed through hard work and has the potential to lead a happy, successful life.该词有各种各样的用法，但其根本含义是，在美国任何人都可以通过努力获得成功，都有可能过上幸福而成功的生活。 Many people have expanded upon or refined the definition to include things such as freedom, fulfillment and meaningful relationships.许多人对 美国梦的概念加以拓展和提炼，涵盖了像自由、自我实现和深厚的人际关系等方面的内容。 The idea of an American Dream is older than the US, dating back to the 1600s, when people began to have all sorts of hopes and aspirations for what was a new and largely unexplored continent to European immigrants.美国梦的思想比美国本身更为久远，可以追溯到17世纪，当时的欧洲移 民面对这一新发现的、未经开发的广袤

experimentation

new

and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. 例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的 层次。For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. 水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意象，从而达到独特的审美效果。 The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水 平的标准。 Ink and wash painting holds a high status in the history of Chinese painting, and it is even regarded as the criterion to evaluate the artistic level of Oriental paintings.

英译汉

The English ceremony of afternoon tea dates back to the 1840s. The tradition evolved out of the rituals and routines that surrounded tea drinking in Britain before that time.英式下午茶的仪式可以追溯到19世纪40年代，该传统是由之前英国的茶饮仪式和习惯发展而来的。 Tea was first introduced to England in the late 1650s, but for a long time, it was only consumed by the royal family and the aristocracy due to its high cost. 茶最初在17世纪50年代晚期被引入英国，但由于价格昂 贵，所以很长一段时间里，只有皇家和贵族才能享用。The habit of having afternoon tea did not become established until almost 200 years later. 直到将近200多年之后，英国人才养成吃下午茶的习惯。In those days, the British ate only two daily meals: a large breakfast late in the morning and a late dinner around 8 o'clock in the evening.在当时，英国人一日两餐：快接近中午时分的丰盛 早餐和晚上八点左右的晚餐。 Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, can be credited for creating the

tradition of afternoon tea to soothe hunger pangs before supper. 据说第七代贝德福德公爵夫人安娜开创了下午茶的传统，以此来缓解晚餐前的饥饿感。She invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at four to

five o'clock. 她邀请朋友和她一起在下午四五点钟吃下午茶。The menu included tea and snacks such as dainty cakes and sandwiches. 下午茶中包括茶和一些点心，比如精致的蛋糕及三明治。Fine porcelain (瓷器) was used to serve this minor feast.这些小巧的美食用精美的瓷器盛装。 Afternoon tea soon became popular, and is now a symbol of the elegant British way of life. 下午茶很快就流行开来，现在已经成为优雅英国生活方式的一个象征。As novelist Henry James wrote, \"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.\"正如小说家亨利•詹姆斯写道的那样：“人生鲜有比全心全意享用下午茶这一仪式更惬意的时刻了。” 汉译英

China is the hometown of tea and the birthplace of tea culture.中国是茶的故乡，也是茶文化的发源地。 Since ancient times, tea has been known as the \"national drink\" of China.自古以来，茶就被誉为中华民族的“国饮”。 In both the Chinese scholars' seven daily necessities, namely music, chess, calligraphy,

painting, poetry, wine and tea and common people's seven ones, namely firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, tea is listed as one of the necessities. 无论是文人墨客生活中的“琴棋书画诗酒茶”，还是平民百姓生活中的“柴米 油盐酱醋茶”，茶都是必备品。Meanwhile, China is a country with ancient civilization and a land of courtesy. 同时，中国又是文明古国，礼仪之邦。The practice of making and serving tea is essential whenever there are guests or friends.凡是来了客人或朋友，沏茶、敬茶的礼仪必不可少。 With the development of cultural exchange, commerce and trade between China and other countries, Chinese tea and tea culture spread to the world. 随着中外文化交流和商业贸易的发展，中 国茶及茶文化传向了全世界。Today, a number of countries across the five continents grow tea plants, and many countries import tea from China.现在五大洲有不少国家种茶，也有很多国家从中国进口茶。 Chinese tea, like Chinese silk and chinaware, has become synonymous with China in the world.中国茶和中国的丝绸及瓷器一样，已经成为中国在全世界的代名词。
