　　透彻内容：在晚饭后清洗碗碟时交谈时，妻子问白人丈夫假使她是黑人，丈夫还会不会娶她，但丈夫的答对是抵赖的，妻子表示很失望也很伤心。

　　白人丈夫和妻子谈论的冲突点在于，假使妻子是个黑人，丈夫还会不会跟她结婚。白人丈夫最后的答案是抵赖的，这让黑人妻子很伤心。我们能够明白了，妻子洗澡过后说她要在外边呆一会儿。其实她是去恢康复来面貌去了，她原形上是个黑人！这是她的机密。在洗完澡后，黑人妻子要求白人丈夫把灯关掉，就出去了。归来未来，丈夫从睡梦中醒来，天公纯粹看到了一个陌生人，也即使他的妻子，是个黑人。应该她是一直瞒着她的丈夫她是一个黑人这个原形。晚上他们斟酌的问题却反映出其实他们并不是真的探听彼此内心的念头。也在这时感受到两人之间宏大的隔阂，两个亲密的人，发觉自己对对方并不探听，像陌生人一样。

IV Written Work
Answer the question in about 130 words.
Do you agree with the author that severe punishment is not the answer to the problem of crime?
Sample:
I don't think that severe punishment is the answer to the problem of crime. But I look at the matter from a different point of view. The author simply believes harsh punishment isn't feasible because it costs too much. My view is that punishment, including harsh measures; is necessary but punishment alone won't help much. It is effective only when governments make effort to wipe out what gives rise to crimes, for example, poverty, inequality, racial hatred, money worship, TV violence, etc. , in short, to remove barriers for less fortunate members of society to better themselves. Punishment can produce good results only when it is combined with effective correctional measures to make law-abiding citizens out of criminals. This is a difficult but worthwhile job.

　　虚拟世界的生活

迈亚·塞拉维茨

在网上呆了太久，听到电话铃声也会吓一大跳。表露屏上看多了我男好友那些一目了然的文字，他的利物浦口音一下子变得难以听懂；而秘书的清脆飞速的语调听上去比我空想的要生硬。日期本身变得斟酌不定——几小时变成几分钟，或几秒钟延长为几天。周末原本是我一周的黄金时段，当前却不过是平平凡常的两天。

在我不再当电视制片人的这三年间，我的整体部工作都是在家里应用运算机终端进行的。我穿越电子邮件投稿和校勘，应用互联网上的人名地址与同行交流。我男好友住在英国，所以两人的关系也在很大程度上根据于电脑维系。

我要是愿意的话，能够一连几个礼拜不出门而什么也不缺。我能够在网上订购食品、网上理财、网上恋爱、网上工作。原形上我有时单独呆在家里长达三个礼拜，只偶尔出去拿信、买报纸及日用品。1996年那一场接一场的疾风雪我大都是在电视上看到的。

可是，一段日期之后，生活本身就显得不那么的确了。我初步觉得自己好像与机器融为一体了，我接收消息，再发送出去，就好像互联网的一个联结点。其他上网的人也谈到了同样的症状。我们初步厌烦外边的社交形式。我们的情构成了批驳互联网的人们最胆寒见到的一幕。

初看似高级的纳福如今却成为一种对生活的躲避，一种缺少自律的表现。你一旦初步用网络社交轮换人与人的的确往来，要走出这种穴居态势就会相当困难。

我发觉自己变得比先前怯生、端庄、忧虑。或许，反降临，当我陡然面临的确中活生生的人时，会变得过于亢奋，说个不停，爱打断旁人的谈话。我老是担心自己衣着是否得当，担心自己会不会真的忘了穿裙子，只穿着夜间睡觉、白天活动时穿的那件T恤和内衣就出门了。

有时我把电视机开着，让它作为背景声响一直响着，先前我从不这样做。电视节目中的言语声让人感到安慰，可那些广告又叫我心烦。我发觉自己陶醉在肥皂剧里，或许不停地收看最新的新闻报道和气象预告。一而再再而三地从每日新闻、一线新闻、 夜间新闻、 有线新闻电视网、纽约一套上收看有关每一条新闻的各种不同视角的报道，尽管它们对我毫无用场。工作成了次要的。我定夺去看一下自己的电子信箱。

在网上，我发觉自己见谁攻谁。我脾气粗暴，动辄怄气。我觉得我与之通信的每一一己都愚钝不仁，觉得他们已经淡忘还有人真会去读他们那些苛刻伤人的言辞。直到有人礼貌地指出，她赞同我的见解却遭遇我的抨击时，我才意识到，自己是在推己及人，不由得深感狼狈。

在这种精力态势下，我也和男好友吵架，常因键出的对话缺少感情暗示而误解他的本意。由于体系常出故障，两人一争即使几个小时。我写一句，他回一句，随后体系失灵！可我们俩还是持之以恒地随后吵。

先前我从未意识到日常的生活起居是多么主要，如打扮整齐去上班，准时睡觉。先前我从未想过自己会那么依靠同事做伴。我初步明白为什么长日期的失业会那么伤人，为什么一一己的生活缺少了外形声援的日惯例划就会导致吸毒、犯罪、自杀率的增长。

为了恢复生活的均匀，我压迫自己回到的确世界中去。我给旁人打电话，与所剩无几的依旧住在纽约城的几个好友料理见面。我至少念头去去健身房，以便使周末与工作日有所不同。我料理采访好写报道，预约看医生——料理任何必要我出门与旁人往来的活动。

但有时面迎面地与人相处的确难以忍耐。我与一位好友见面，她那种响亮的笑声让人忍无可忍——饭店里的噪杂谈话声也让人受不了。我找了个藉口逃之夭夭。我重新回到我的公寓，冲向电脑，好像那儿才是一个平安的地方。

我点击鼠标，敞开调制解调器，已经听了就烦的联结声当前听起来就好像最怜爱的曲子那么动听。我键入密码。的确世界转眼便消失了。

　　

　　

　　

　　大学英语第二册unit5原文

　　Unit5
My daughter smokes.
While she is doing her homework, her feet on the bench in front of her and her calculator clicking out answers to her geometry problems, I am looking at the half-empty package of Camels tossed carelessly close at hand.
I pick them up, take them into the kitchen, where the light is better, and study them—they're filtered, for which I am grateful.
My heartfeels terrible.
I want to weep.
In fact, I do weep alittle, standing there by the stove holding one of the instruments, so white, so precisely rolled, that could cause my daughter's death.
When she smoked Marlboros and Players I hardened myself against feeling so bad; nobody I knew ever smoked these brands.
She doesn't know this, but it was Camels that my father, her grandfather, smoked.
But before he smoked cigarettes made by manufacturers—when he was very young and very poor, with glowing eyes—he smokedPrince Albert tobacco in cigarettes he rolledhimself.
I remember the bright-red tobacco tin, with a picture of QueenVictoria's partner,Prince Albert, dressed in a black dress coat and carrying a cane.
By the late forties and early fifties no one rolledhis own anymore in my hometown of Eatonton, Georgia.
The tobacco industry, coupled with Hollywood movies in which both male and female heroes smoked like chimneys, completely won over people like my father, who were hopelessly hooked by cigarettes.
He never looked as fashionable asPrince Albert, though; he continued to look like a poor, overweight, hard-working colored man with too large a family, black, with a very white cigarette stuck inhis mouth.
I do not remember when he started to cough.
Perhaps it was unnoticeable at first, alittle coughing in the morning as helit his first cigarette upon getting out of bed.
By the time I was sixteen, my daughter's age, his breath was a wheeze, embarrassing to hear; he could not climb stairs without resting every third or fourth step.
It was not unusual forhim to cough for an hour.
My fatherdied from "the poor man's friend", pneumonia, one hard winter when his lung illnesses had left him low.
I doubt he had much lung left at all, after coughing for so many years.
He had so little breath that, during his last years, he was always leaning on something.
I remembered once, at a family reunion, when my daughter was two, that my father picked her up for a minute—long enough for me to photograph them—but the effort was obvious.
Near the very end of his life, and largely because he had no more lungs, he quit smoking.
He gained a couple of pounds, but by then he was so slim that no one noticed.
When I travel to Third World countries I see many people like my father and daughter.
There are large advertisement signs directed at them both: the tough, confident or fashionable older man, the beautiful, "worldly" young woman, both dragging away.
In these poor countries, as in American inner cities and on reservations, money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies; over time, people starve themselves of both food and air, effectively weakening and hooking their children, eventually killing themselves.
I read in the newspaper and in my gardening magazine that the ends of cigarettes are so poisonous that if a baby swallows one, it is likely todie, and that the boiled water from a bunch of them makes an effective insecticide.
There is a deep hurt that I feel as a mother.
Some days it is a feeling of uselessness.
I remember how carefully I ate when I was pregnant, how patiently I taught my daughter how to cross a street safely.
For what, I sometimes wonder; so that she can struggle to breathe through most of her life feeling half her strength, and thendie of self-poisoning, as her grandfather did?
There is a quotation from a battered women's shelter that I especially like: "Peace on earthbegins at home."
I believe everything does.
I think of a quotation for people trying to stop smoking: "Every home is a no-smoking zone."
Smoking is a form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, occasionally joke or complain, and helplessly watch.
I realize now that as a child Isat by, through the years, and literally watched my father kill himself: Surely one such victory in my family, for the prosperous leaders who own the tobacco companies, is enough.
