《大学英语2》Unit 1 Love1.Talk about some people you love.2.Motherly love and fatherly love.Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any expectation. Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is "I love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me."3.The right way to show love for children.First, it is certain to give your child enough food and cloth. But you should never give him or her very expensive food and cloth. As you know, it is not true that the more expensive food your child eating, the more useful nutrition you child absorbing. The right way is you should let you child eat variable food. The nutrition value is not related to the price of food. In the same time, you should let your child know it is not easy to own money to buy all the things. Parents have to pay a lot of hard work. So wasting any kinds of food is forbidden. Second, you should pay much more love to your child. You may always tell him or her you love him deeply. You should never hit them when some thing is wrong with you children. The right way is to tell them why they are wrong and where they are wrong.Third, pay more time with your child is much more important than anything else. Your children need you play with them and learn together. When you are beside them, they may feel safe and happy. Do not let them feel lonely even if you are very buy. When you stay with them, you may discover that life is happy and beautiful.4.Is marriage the tomb of love.Unit 2 Communication problems5.In what ways are men and women different in communication.Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words.Women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives,metaphors,and generalizations.Men commonly react in an unsupportive manner,because they mistakenly take these expressions literally.6.Causes of misunderstandings.Ways to avoid them.If a man really understood a woman’s complaint,then he would argue less and be able to respond more positively.When men and women are on the verge of arguing,they generally misunderstand each other.At such times,it is important to rethink or translate what they have heard.7.Generation gap and its solution.Since world came into existence, there is always a generation gap fight between elders and youngsters. They both have their own beliefs, customs and way to live their life. It becomes very sturdy when both think they are right and no one gets ready to change. Generation gap is very problematic because, it breaks many family and youngsters loses respect for eldersThe main factor which can resolve this generation gap is to understand other’s feelings. Elders should keep their ego on side and understand that world changes very fast and only fittest cansurvive. If youngsters want to choose their career at least elders should give them a chance. Youngster want reasons for all customs, elders are forcing them to follow. If elders have genuine reasons for following customs, then youngsters should do it, this will make your parents happy. Parents say no for dating, live-in relations and dressing sense, especially to girls because many suffered and exploited. Many guys died because they are very cool and go for adventurous trips. If parents are saying something good, youngsters should follow.8.How to increase communication in family.Engage your brain before you open your mouth, and ask yourself if anyone will really be served by what you are about to say.Be generous with appreciation and acknowledge good behavior openly.If you are a parent and you want to make sure your child is hearing what you are saying, active listening is the remedy.The more important the information being communicated, the more we need to slow down, taking time to make sure that the message we are sending is the same one that our loved one is receiving.Unit 3 Born to win9.The meaning of winning to you.Do you regard yourself as a winner?In my opinion, I think the meaning of winning consists of four parts: much knowledge, real happiness, richness, good society position.10.Great winner in your eyes.In my opinion, winning means trying one’s best to achieve the goal which he has set up. Maybe a winner is not the first , but he must be the one who carries on to the final. Take an example ,Dr Albert Schweitzer who received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of "reverence for life". It was expressed in many ways ,but most famously in his more than 50 years of work in Africa. At the age of 30, he learned that Gabon was calling for a doctor for missionary work . At that time he had owned a great reputation in philosopher theology and music , however he answered the call and re-entered the university to study for eight years towards the degree of a Medical Doctor .In 1913 ,he and his wife established a hospital in Gabon and serviced there until his death.11.Things that help one win and things that make one lose.A winner has the ability to propose solutions to a problem, or to stick it out until a solution is found. A loser spends a lot of time worrying about the problem and why it can't be solved instead of working to find a solution. A winner has the ability to adapt to rapidly changing scenarios while a loser often expect things to go exactly as they envisioned it. A winner has the fortitude to see through the issue and to prepare for a challenge while a loser simply gives up without even making a good effort.Unit5 Dreams12.Say anything that you know about night dreams.We dream for most of the night,but we’re only able to remember our dreams if we happen to wake up while we are stil in Rapid Eye Movement.13.Share with others any of your dreams.Unit 6 Food14.Food and drink you like and dislike.I like chicken,beef, fish, vegetables,ice-cream,milk,banana,orange…I don’t like ginger, Coriander,ˈkɔ:ri:ˌændə,Chocolates…15.What helps to develop the eating habit?1.keep a sober mind.ready to tell youself you are gonna eat everything that are required cause they're helpful,nutritious and can sometimes be delicious!2.to have a little change in your taste.try to accept the taste that the food has and adjust to it,it's beyond peradventure that you will finally get used to,or even love it!3. read more books about this stuff,learn something connected with nutrition.then you will start eating those natually even without supervision cause you've know its precious function and feel your body yearning them16.Attitudes toward western fast food.Western fast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.It is economical and convenient. When you go into a western fast food restaurant for meal, your food will be ready in a minute.And the environment is comfortable.Futhermore,it tastes so delicious that many kids like to eat.However, western fast food isn’t healthy enough.First, it contains too much fat,salt,and sugar.

What we do as Romans just as a consequence that we are in Rome and we pretend to be real Romans. People should be happy and enjoy this kind of precious experience.Cultural diversity is the quality of diverse or different cultures. For example, before Hawaii was conquered by Europeans, the culturally diverse Hawaiian culture existed in the world, and contributed to the world's cultural diversity. Now Hawaii has been westernized; the vast majority of its culture has been replaced with Western or American culture. The phrase cultural diversity can also refer to having different cultures respect each other's differences.The phrase cultural diversity is sometime misused to mean the variety of human societies or cultures in a specific region, or in the world as a whole; but these phenomenon are multiculturalism rather than cultural diversity. The culturally destructive action of globalization is often said to have a negative effect on the world's cultural diversity.As a generation of one culture,people needs to take this responsibility to make it alive in the world.It means a lot for human beings.22.Three things you would do if you had 100,000U.S.dollars now?If I had 100,000 U.S. dollars now, I would do three things.
