TranslationA burglary is reported every 15 seconds inthe United States. Statistics show burglars entered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people ,particularly children who happen to be the last to come in , leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warming—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection ofnewspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Unit 4Text OrganizationPart one 1-3 The narrator claims that no extraterrestrials will every land on earth.Part two 4-48 The narrator gives an account of his encounter with extraterrestrials, making it clear why he claims that they will return no more.2.Section one 4-5 Bart got quite irritable because of his complicated tax form.Section two 6-11 (The landing of the flaying saucer) The narrator was shocked at the sight of a flying saucer landing on Earth and two men getting out of it, while Bart didn’t notice it at all.

TranslationThe extraterrestrial has been a topic of interest to experts and laymen/nonprofessionals alike. Researchers of various nationalities and organizations are adopting different modes of investigation in search of extraterrestrials. Some make a close observation of stars with extremely high levels of rare, radioactive elements. They believe those elements have resulted from extraterrestrial technology that is still beyond human wits to understand. Some try to isolate radio signals from the ‘noise’ of the universe. And some claim that they have caught sight of extraterrestrials and can even describe their appearance in detail. Researchers work up the complicated data they collect into a series of reports and books. Although no definite answer has yet been found, the explorers’ hope shows no sign of fading out on account of their frustrations and they hold to the belief that their hard efforts will prove worthwhile.Unit 5Text Organization1.Parts paragraphs MainIdeasOne 1-9 On Thanksgiving Day 1943,as a young coastguardsmanat sea, the writer came upwith the idea of expressinghis gratitude to people whohad helped him before.

He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted.
