Why are young people so enthusiastic about puters?It is mainly because they find that
the puter has a large number of desirable properties.First,it's not terribly demanding,and it does what it is told.Second,it's easier
to be a friend to a puter,for it won't make fun of you.Nor does it scold you or talk back.Third,the puter
is more interesting than any other object.Like people,it is interactive.When you ask it a question,it gives you an answer.And because it stores great quantities of information,it can oftenanswer more questions,more accurately,than human friends.Finally,by programing a puter,a youngster can create a world of
his own.

第二十单元 推展段落方法——混合方法

  

20.1 混合方法(Mixed Patterns)

到目前为止,我们讨论了九种推展段落方法——1)事实数据法(facts and statistics);2)叙述法(narration);3)描述法(description);4)过程分析法(process analysis);5)定义法(definition);6)举例法(examples);7)比较对比法(parison
and contrast);8)分类法(division and classification);9)因果法(cause and effect)。我们还讨论了四种组织段落的方法:1)时间顺序法(time
order);2)空间顺序法(space order);3)重要性顺序法(order of importance);4)熟悉度顺序法(order
of familiarity)。此外,我们还谈及一个好的段落的三个特征:1)完整性(pleteness);2)统一性(unity);3)连贯性(coherence)。

我们在前面各单元的示范段落中已经发现,极少段落是仅用一种推展方法的。作者常常在段落中使用一种方法作为支配方法(dominant method),另外一种或数种作为辅助方法(supporting method)。

示范段落20…1

Man's knowledge of the past has sometimes been gained in odd ways.One of the oddest incidents
occurred on January 16,1900.An angry
workman broke a crocodile mummy into pieces.He wassurprised to find that the mummy had been wrapped in sheets of
papyrus,the reed
paper of ancient Egypt.And on the papyrus there was writing.

第二十一单元 从段落到篇章

  

21.1 段落和篇章

段落和篇章在长度上有明显的不同,但是它们在结构上是一致的。首先,段落是由表达其主题思想的主题句(Topic Sentence)或主题导句(Topic Introducer)引出的,而篇章中的首段也是该篇文章主题思想的导言和引言;其次,一个段落必须有若干个展开句使主题思想得以展开和充实,同样篇章的主体部分也是由几个推展或后续首段主题思想的段落组成。再者,在段落结束时有一个结尾句(Concluding Sentence)总结段落的主旨,篇章也同样有一个对上下文进行归纳和总结主题思想的末段。尽管不是所有的段落和篇章都具备这样的完整结构,但典型的段落和篇章在结构上是一致的。

根据上述,让我们比较一下Model Paragraph 21…1和Model Essay 21…2,后者的主题思想完全基于前者。所不同的是,Model Paragraph中的六个句子①,②,③,④,⑤,⑥均已被扩展成Model Essay中的六个段落。

Model Paragraph 21…1

①To be successful in a job interview,the applicant should demonstrate
certain personal and professional qualities.②In as much as the first and often lasting impression of a person isdetermined
by the clothes one wears,the job applicant should take care to appear well…groomed and
modestly dressed,avoiding the
extremes of too elaborate or too casual attire.③Besides care for personal appearance,one should pay close attention to one's manner of speaking,which should be neither showy nor
too familiar but rather straightforward,grammatically accurate,and friendly.④In addition,one should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the requirements
of the position for which one is applying in relation to one's own professional
experience and interests.⑤And finally,there ally impressive applicant must convey a sense of
self…confidence and enthusiasm for work,factors which all interviewers value highly.⑥The job seeker who displays these
characteristics,with just a
little luck,will
certainly succeed in a typical personal interview.

Model Essay 21…2

①To be successful in a job interview,you should demonstrate certain
personal and professional qualities.You need to create a good image in the limited time available,usually from 30 to 45 minutes.Furthermore,you must make a positive impression
which the interviewer will remember while he interviews other applicants.A tall times,you should present your most
attractive qualities during an interview.

②You should,for example,take care to appear well…groomed
and modestly dressed,avoiding the extremes of too elaborate or too casual attire.On the positive side,clothes may be a good leveller,putting you on a par with other
applicants and requiring the interviewer to consider more important
qualifications.On the otherhand,clothes which are too informa
