Unit Six 【语篇赏析】 还记得你上初中、高中时是如何形容那些刻苦学习和成绩好的学生的吗？如果曾经用了不适宜的比喻的话，这种用法现在改变了吗？为什么？那么看看A篇美国社会的情况吧。A篇指出在美国社会存在着滥用 “怪人”这些贬义词来形容好学生的现象。如果国家不尊重知识和不尊重学习成果，美国的未来是令人担忧的。读B篇前想一想，你会因为别人去“必胜客”“日式料理”而去吃比萨饼，尝鳗鱼和寿司吗？你看到别人穿牛仔裤，咀嚼口香糖，也会套上一条“CK”即使你穿着实在不会令人恭维吗？我们生活中的时尚和趋势不断改变，为什么会有这么多的人追逐时尚呢？读一读B篇，你可能会在文中找到你的影子。B篇告诉我们趋势和时尚存在于生活的方方面面，人们，尤其是年青人很愿意引领时尚。C篇提醒我们不要放弃真实的自我而为出名而从众。你同意作者的观点吗？ Text A Nerds and Geeks 【重点词汇】 重点单词 shock, reveal, dedicate, prestigious, admit, pursue, prefer, conform, deprive, adequate, acquire, tease, rival, average, compete, largely, major, portion, cultivate, adapt, extent, insult 重点短语 be dedicated to, idle away, not least of all, be held up as, lie with, do away with, stand a chance shock : vt. cause unpleasant or angry surprise to (sb.) 使震惊 n.震惊 People are really shocked.
