A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING

Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.

The Middle Ages (5th to the 15th century AD)

During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A

Lesson1 未来学

汉纳 琼斯展望未来

我喜欢谈论未来—而且还有很多人都像我这样。很多世纪以来，人们对未来好奇。有些人喜欢阅读幻想故事，想象世界在10年、50年甚至1000年内会变成什么样。其他人喜欢自己写关于未来的事。在18和19世纪，特别是后者，科幻小说的最常见的主题是未来。一些作者甚至预测到此后所发生的事情，例如登陆月球！但是对一些人来说，思考未来不仅仅是为了有趣。他们以设计世界的未来为生，这些人被称为未来学家。

这个周末，数百个未来学家将在纽卡斯尔大学举行会议。会议于星期五开始，专家们将会讨论未来的无数个可能。现在未来是个热门议题，许多人将参加研讨会，他们梦想在这个周末听到的预测的基础上开始新事业。我登陆了一些未来学家的网站，一下是他们的预言：

若干年后，计算机将会变得更加方便。不久以后我们所有人都将使用声音对计算机发出指令。我们将能够通过说几句话来下载任何档案，或者更新我们的电脑。

2015年之前，服装工业将生产出新型的材料，不管你将什么东西洒在上面，都不会留下污点。红酒渍将不再破坏衣物。衣服也将很牢固结实，永远不会变旧或者磨损。

到2025年，没有人会死于饥饿，因为每一个人都将会有食物。没有人会依靠福利生活，每一个人都会有工作，歧视将成为

Lesson 1 A Perfect Day?

A Couch Potato

When I Wake up I don’t get up immediately I turn on the television and watch the children’s programmes and old movies until about half-past ten. Then I get up, go downstairs and switch on the TV in the living room. For lunch, I have biscuit and a glass of milk, and I watch the news. In the afternoon, I often watch another old film-they’re showing some good ones at the moment. In the evenings, I often watch TV serie

Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. 艺术是受着人民生活习俗和信仰的影响的。 Styles in Western art have changed many times. 西方的艺术风格经历了多次变革。 As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. 由于西方的艺术风格多种多样，在短短的一篇课文里不可能进行全面的描述。Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones, starting from the sixth century AD.

Unit2 THE RETURN OF THE DINOSAURS? 恐龙的回归？

The possibility of cloning fierce and extinct wild animals has always excited film makers. 克隆凶猛和灭绝的野生动物的可能性一直使电影制片商感到兴奋。

And they are not the only ones! 然而他们并不是唯一对此感到兴奋的人。

The popularity of films such as Jurassic Park, in which a scientist clones several kinds of extinct dinosaurs, proves how the idea struck a mixture of fear and excitement into people's hearts.

在《侏罗纪公园》这部影片中，有一位科学家克隆了好几种不同的绝种恐龙。类似这样的电影很受欢迎，证明了这一想法使人们感到既兴奋又恐惧。

Module 5 Unit13 Lesson1 成功源自情商

成功源自情商

大多数的学生会在学习阶段的早期做智商测验，即使永远得不到自己的测验结果，他们仍然感觉到自己的智商决定了自己将来的生活。当看到别的学生比自己做的好的时，他们相信那些学生有较高的智商，而自己对改变着一事实毫无办法。然而，对情商的最新研究表明，成功不仅仅是高智商的结果。

你的智商表明你的聪明程度，而你的情商表明你会如何利用自己的聪明才智。提出情商这一说的法国萨洛维教授指出，在职场上，一个人的智商决定了他能否被录用，而情商决定了能否升职。萨洛维教授的学术研究显示，情商测验所衡量出的性格，也许比他的智商更为重要。

萨洛维教授也许是对的。例如，你是否曾有过这样的困惑，为什么班里有些你认为应该得到好的分数的最聪明学生却难过考试关？他们的失败也许是因为他们的情商低。人们经常错误地认为高智商的人总是拥有高情商。这种关系可能存在，但是，一个高智商的人有低情商也同样有可能。

人们通常认为为高情商的人善于接受新观点，并对生活持积极的态度。他们较少被问题所困扰。另一方面，低情商的人经常在与别人相处和处理困难形势时有问题，因此会生活得比较艰难。

一个人的智商被认为是与生俱来的，然而，大多数的社会
