新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第三册选词填空及答案(2)

“你为什么要离开舒适的床、你的家、你的家人和朋友？你为什么想一个人去？”当你在背包里生活一段时间时，你可能经常被问到为什么。我很少有时间坐下来思考我旅行的原因，但我相信，一旦你走出舒适区，你才真正开始生活。我第一次出国旅行是在14岁，这激发了我对世界的好奇心。高中毕业后，我冒险穿越了各个国家，对遍布世界各地的各种文化感到惊奇。我的眼睛是我最大的财富，因为他们目睹了我脑海中每天重现的最美丽的景色：迷人的风景、友善的当地人、充满呼吸的建筑，还有一种让你眼睛一瞥就流口水的食物。旅行教会你以最积极的方式独立。我知道如何依靠自己，出去和人交往，不要让别人的期望支配我的生活。每天我都看到我的梦想，每天都在一个新的地方。我22岁了。我很赞同安东尼·波登的意见，“如果你22岁，身体健康，渴望学习，是更好的，我劝你去旅行。了解其他人如何生活、吃饭和做饭。向他们学习，无论你走到哪里。

American economy is built on credit. In the last decade, however, cheap credit made it too easy for people to buy houses based on pure speculation that real estate value would end-lessly continue to increase. But the housing 1) slump set off a chain reaction in our economy. Individuals and investors could no longer resell their homes for a quick profit, 2) mortgages no longer became affordable for many homeowners, and thousands of mortgages defaulted(违约), leaving investors and financial institutions to face the terrible consequences. Ironic, isn’t it? Yes, it is true that credit got us into this mess. But it i s also true that our economy is 3) incredibly unstable right now, and being that it is built on credit, it needs an inflow of cash or it could come 4) crashing down. This is something no one wants to see as it would 5) spread through our economy and into the world markets in a matter of hours, potentially causing a worldwide recession. Credit in and of itself is not a bad thing. Credit 6) promotes growth and jobs. Poor use of credit, however, can be 7) catastrophic which is what we are on the 8) verge of seeing now. So long as the rescue plan comes with changes to lending regulations and more 9) oversight of the industry, there is potential to 10) stabilize the market, which is what everyone wants. Whether or not it works is to be seen , but as it has already been voted on and passed, we should all hope it does.

美国经济是建立在信用基础上的。然而在过去十年中，廉价的信贷，使得人们购买基于纯粹的猜测，房地产价值将无休止地继续增加房屋太容易了。但是，房地产的衰退引发了我们经济的连锁反应。个人投资者不能转售他们家快速获利，贷款不再成为负担得起的许多房主，和成千上万的抵押贷款违约（违约），使投资者和金融机构面临可怕的后果。讽刺的是，不是吗？是的，的确是信用让我们陷入困境。但是，我们的经济现在确实非常不稳定，而且它是建立在信贷基础上的，它需要现金流入，否则就会崩溃。这是没有人希望看到的，因为它将在数小时内蔓延到我们的经济和世界市场，可能导致全球经济衰退。信用本身并不是一件坏事。信贷促进增长和就业。然而，信贷的不良使用可能是灾难性的，而这正是我们现在所看到的。只要救市计划改变了贷款规则，对行业进行更多的监管，市场就有可能稳定，这是每个人都想要的。它是否有效是可以看到的，但是既然它已经被投票通过了，我们都应该希望它能成功。

Laughter is a(n) 1)automatic response to being touched by a tickle(瘙痒)-a natural response from the child. This puts the tickler in 2) charge of how much or how long the child laughs. We adults don’t read children’s minds, but we often have a(n) 3) presumption that we can. So we usually think we’re aware of what’s too much tickling and when to stop. But it is possible to trap our children without knowing it. We parents become 4) attached to tickling because it seems to be a(n) 5) handy shortcut to laughter. We wish that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes our shortcut to get assured. Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can 6) confer upon them inner confidence if we will get known on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical 7) contact with us. If we find ways to give them much of the power, our children will laugh and laugh. Games like “I have a hundred hugs for you” or “Where’ s Jared ? I know his around here somewhere” or “Oh no! I can’t get this horsy rider off my back!” let children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try to find them, or try to 8) bounce them, off our backs, and fail over and over. The physical contact that requires more creativity than tickling allows us to 9) tumble around, to press our heads against their stomachs here and there for a second, and to manage an embrace before they make another daring escape. We get our affection across without trapping our children. And we give them a chance to be inventive as they use their 10) intellect to figure out a hundred ways to outsmart us.

笑声是被胳肢了自动响应（瘙痒）-从孩子的自然反应。这把难事在多少或多久孩子笑荷。我们成年人不读孩子们的想法，但我们经常有一个假设，我们可以。通常我们认为我们知道的太多挠痒痒，何时停止。但不知道我们的孩子是可能的。我们的父母结缘痒痒的因为它似乎是一个方便快捷的笑声。我们希望我们的孩子是幸福的，爱我们，并成为我们的捷径可以让人放心的挠痒痒。而不是强迫笑，这样，我们可以赋予他们内在的信心，如果我们将在地板上知道，并邀请他们与我们进行有趣的身体接触。如果我们找到给他们力量的方法，我们的孩子会笑和笑。比如“我有一百个拥抱给你”或者“贾里德在哪里？”我知道他在附近某个地方！我无法把这马的骑手从我背上！“让孩子们笑，当我们试图抓住他们，或试图找到他们，或试图反弹他们，在我们的背上，并失败了一遍又一遍。身体的接触，需要比挠痒痒让我们跌倒在更多的创意，按我们的头在他们的腹部有一秒钟，又在他们做一个大胆的逃跑管理一个拥抱。我们在不影响孩子的情况下得到了我们的爱。我们给他们一个机会去发明他们使用自己的智慧，找出一百打败我们的方式。
