今天需要背诵的句子!
When we were very young and vulnerable, parents hold our hands tightly to prevent us from falling, comfort us out of fear in darkness and tell us stories to give us wisdom.我们还很幼小脆弱的时候，父母会紧握我们的手来防止我们摔倒，在黑夜中轻轻抚摸让我们不再害怕，通过讲故事让我们明理。
As we mature into adulthood, we begin to have duties and stresses on our shoulders. And this is the very time that we think of the question of how our parents have felt and how they have strived to do their best.
随着我们成年，我们开始感受到肩膀上的责任和压力。这时经历才让我们想到，父母曾经怎么感受，又曾经如何尽力拼搏。
And yet whenever we look into their eyes, we are always greeted with tender smiles and warm encouragement, giving us little clue of the hard struggles they may be in.
但不论我们何时看向他们的双眼，我们都会看到温和的笑容和暖心的鼓励，一点都没透露出他们可能面临的难题。
But despite of the strong mind and refusal to accept the defeat, they will eventually grow old and be in want of help.
虽然他们拥有永不 服输的坚强内心，但他们总是会变老，变得需要帮助。
When this happens, it’s our duty to support them both physically and spiritually: show them respect even though they lose their temper like a child, hold them tightly when they are weak and fragile as they once did for you, and always assure them whatever happens you will be there.
当这些发生时，我们有责任在物质上和心理上支持他们：向他们表达尊重，即使他们和小孩一样乱发脾气，在他们虚弱的时候抱紧他们，总是告诉他们不管发生什么你都会在。
And this, in my view, is what family and love really entail.
这就是我心目中家庭和爱的概念。
今天的句子：
Imitation can get a bad reputation, but researchers say our species’ drive to imitate so readily is a significant mechanism through which we learn social norms, integrate into society, and build social connection. And, they say, this level of imitation might be what sets us apart from other species and may have set us on the path to building an advanced society.
思考题：
What is the general attitude towards the Imitation?
(A)positive (B) uncertain (C)harmful (D) negative
词汇突破：
1.Imitation 模仿
2.Reputation 名声
3.Mechanism 机制
4.Integrate 融入
句：
切分：
1.Imitation can get a bad reputation,
2.but researchers say…
3..(that) our species’ drive to imitate so readily is a significant mechanism
4..through which we learn social norms, integrate into society, and build social connection定语从句，修饰mechanism
参考译文：模仿也许名声不好，但研究者说人类极其乐于模仿的冲动是一种重要机制，通过这种机制我们学习社会规范、融入群体和建立联系。
第二句：
切分:
1., they say,
2.And this level of imitation might be…
3..what sets us apart from other species and may have set us on the path to building an advanced society
what = something/that
参考译文：他们认为，这种模仿水平也许是将人类与其他物种区别开来的原因，它也让我们走上了建立先进社会的道路。
思考题：
What is the general attitude towards the Imitation?
看清楚问的：the general attitude!不是问研究者的态度!
所以不能选(A)positive
(B) uncertain 在文中没有依据!
(C)harmful 这个词不是态度词，
这个是评价词!
你不能说态度是:harmful!
我们可以通过评价词harmful!对应态度词：negative!
所以D是正确答案!
举例：
The taste of food in England is bad.
我们不能说对英国食物的态度是：Bad吧!
只能是：
negative
背景介绍：
今天来看一下“模仿”，”英语中有句谚语：“模仿是最真诚的恭维”(Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)。科学家的研究表示，模仿的重要性不仅如此，还可能是人之所以为人的根源。婴幼儿时期，人们就开始模仿周遭的人，学人吐舌头，把耳朵靠近电话听筒，向给自己打招呼的手挥手。等我们成年后，遇到心仪的人会不自主地模仿对方的身体语言，和朋友买一样的红鞋子，网购明星同款。也许很多人不愿意承认自己是模仿者，然而科学研究表明只有人类才能建立高度组织化的社会文明正是源于模仿。获得知识有两种基本途径，一种是尝试—犯错—尝试，这种方法无疑是最直接、最有开创性、也最受尊敬的，但它效率极低;另一种就是模仿，模仿使得人类得以快速地掌握复杂的语言和社会文化，相当于“抄了小道”。人类不仅有意识地模仿具有直接功能目的的举动，还会无意识地模仿那些看起来多余且无稽的言行。
