He was a distinguished biochemist, but is more widely known as the author of many works of science fiction, books on science for non-scientists, and essays on a wide variety of subjects. Among his best-known science fiction is I, Robot (1950) and the Foundation trilogy (19511953). Building on Karel Capeks concept of the robot, in 1941 Asimov coined the term robotics.BR2.2BR2.3TheSolarSystem The nine planets in the solar system are placed in order of mass in the first picture.

Four years later, John Glenn became the first American in orbit.

The separation of powers also allows for a system of checks and balances within the government. Each branch is given certain control over the other two, which balances the power and keeps the potential for abuse of power in check.BR2.5.12 US Federal Governmentexecutivelegislativemakethelawjudicialenforcethelaw1.2.3.5.6.can suggest and veto legislation1. can override (越过越过,不考虑不考虑) a veto2. can impeach (弹劾弹劾) presidentappoint the justicescan force the President to follow the laws with no appealInterpretthelaw4.pass a new lawcan rule laws unconstitutional (违反宪法的违反宪法的)BR2.5.12.1 The President is the chief executive, or chief administrator, of the United States. His job is to manage all of the people who work in the executive branch and to make sure the laws ofthe nation are enforced. He is also the foremost representative of the nation and head of the diplomatic corps (外外交交使使团团). In addition, he has certain legislative and judicial powers. For example, he may suggest legislation to Congress that he feels will improve the “state of the union” and may also veto (reject) legislation that he feels should not become law. He nominates (任任命命，指指派派) Supreme Court justices (judges) and is also the commander in chief (总总司司令令) of the United States Armed Forces. BR2.5.12.2 The Constitution specifies that there shall be two separate legislative bodies - the House of Representatives and the Senate. Together they are called the Congress. The two bodies of Congress worktogether to make the laws and regulations for the country. Before a new law can be made, both houses have to pass it, and it must then have the approval of the President. In a system of government based on a series of checks and balances, the two houses of Congress act as a check on each other, as well as together forming a check on the powers of the executive branch, especially the President.BR2.5.12.3 The judicial branch of US federal government operates the system of law courts. The Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. is the highest court in the US, and is very powerful. It is made up of nine judges who are called justices. There are one chief justice and eight associate justices. Traditionally, they are called the nine old men, although there has been one woman justice. TheSupreme Court Judges are appointed by the President with Senates approval. They may serve for life or until they wish to retire.BR2.6.main Warm-upExercises 1. Word-web 2. Group Work 3.

They are :1. Narrowing the scope of discussion, which means we have to our discussion to a manageable topic rather than fighting with a too general or broad one.2. Making clear our attitude toward the subject, eg., clearly our attitude so as not to leave the readers with a vague idea of our opinion.limit/narrow/boil down/reduce_stating/expressing/presenting_After-5.2 To make our exposition both instructive and interesting, it is advisable to illustrate the discussion by giving concrete examples and details. Vivid illustrations light up abstract ideas and make them clear, intriguing, memorable and convincing. Read the following paragraphs and answer the questions.How to Write an Expository Essay (2)1Preparing Enough MaterialAfter-5-21 Childhood was an illusion and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, I mean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colours and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. “Are we there yet, Daddy?” Funfairs were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being an adult yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable. As Ive grown old, life has become smaller. Flavours have dulled. Surprises have turned into shocks. Days go by unsavoured. How can I recapture childhood when it was an illusion?How to Write an Expository Essay (2)After-5.22How to Write an Expository Essay (2)Questions :1) What does the author mean by saying “everything was bigger”?When he was young, his senses seemed sharper and everything around him seemed bigger.2) What examples does the author use to make his point well understood?Houses, shops and grown-ups were bigger;Colors and flowers were brighter;Journeys were longer;Funfairs were bigger, noisier and more dangerous;Rainy days at home when you were ill were longer;Every sound was louder, every game grander, every pain more unbearable.After-5.23How to Write an Expository Essay (2)3) What is the authors attitude toward childhood and adult life? Do you think the examples help to clarify it?The detailed examples very much vividly depict a childs perception of the world around him and helps greatly to reveal the authors nostalgic feeling of the childhood days and his disappointment in adult life.After-5.242. Dramatizing the Issue If we can present the issue of our topic in the way which catches and holds the readers imagination, it will be much easier to draw the reader into our exposition. For example, on a serious topic as sexism (性性别别歧歧视视) in China, we may start by listing the statistics illustrating the inequality between men and women. However, it can be quite novel if we begin, for example, by discussing some terms such as “爱爱妻妻牌牌洗洗衣衣机机”, “女女强强人人” and use them as examples of sexism in our language. And it can be equally effective to present the problem by telling the story of a particular person or family. This would very quickly and dramatically get the readers attention.How to Write an Expository Essay (2)After-5.3Write an essay entitled “Pressing Problems on Our Planet I Wish to Discuss with Extraterrestrials”.

No extraterrestrials will ever land on Earth - at least, any more.Article1_S Im not just being a pessimist. As a matter of fact, extraterrestrials have landed. I know that. Spaceships are crisscrossing space among a million worlds, probably, but they will never come here. I know that, too. All on account of a ridiculous error. Ill explain. It was actually Bart Camerons error and youll have to understand about Bart Cameron. Hes the sheriff at Twin Gulch, Idaho, and Im his deputy. Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax. You see, besides being sheriff, he also owns and runs the general store, hes got some shares in a sheep ranch, hes got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran (bad knee) and a few other things like that. Naturally, it makes his tax figures complicated. It wouldnt be so bad if hed let a taxman work on the forms with him, but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man. By April 14, he isnt approachable.Article2_SArticle3_S So its too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14, 1956. I saw it land. My chair was backed up against the wall in the sheriffs office, and I was looking at the stars through the windows and wondering if I ought to knock off and hit the sack or keep on listeningto Cameron curse real steady as he went over his columns of figures for the hundred twenty-seventh time. It looked like a shooting star at first, but then the track of light broadened into two things that looked like rocket exhausts and the thing came down without a sound.Article4_S Two men got out. I couldnt say anything or do anything. I couldnt choke or point; I couldnt even bug my eyes. I just sat there. Cameron? He never looked up. There was a knock on the door. It opened and the two men from the flying saucer stepped in. I would have thought they were city fellows if I hadnt seen the flying saucer land. They wore gray suits, with white shirts and dark red-brown ties. They had on black shoes and black hats. They had dark complexions, black wavy hair and brown eyes. They had very serious looks on their faces and were about five foot ten apiece. They looked very much alike. God, I was scared.Article5_S One of the two stepped forward. He said, “We have had your people under observation a long time.” He pronounced each word carefully and all by itself. Cameron said, “My people? All I gots a wife. Whats she been doing?” The fellow in the suit said, “We have chosen this locality for our first contact because it is isolated and peaceful. We know that you are the leader here.” But Cameron just looked up when the door opened and frowned. He said, “What can I do for you, folks?” and he tapped his hand on the forms so it was obvious he hadnt much time.Article6_S “Im the sheriff, if thats what you mean, so spit it out. Whats your trouble?” “We have been careful to adopt your mode of dress and even to assume your appearance. We have also learned your language.” You could see the light break in on Cameron. He said, “You guys foreigners?” Cameron didnt go much for foreigners, never having met many outside the army, but generally he tried to be fair. The man from the saucer said, “Foreigners? Indeed we are. We come from the watery place your people call Venus.” Cameron never blinked an eye. He said, “All right. This is the U.S.A. We all got equal rights regardless of race, color, or nationality. Im at your service. What can I do for you?”Article7_S “We would like to have you make immediate arrangements for the important men of your U.S.A., as you call it, to be brought here for discussions leading to your people joining our great organization.” Slowly, Cameron got red. “Our people join your organization. Were already part of the U.N. and God knows what else. And I suppose Im to get the President here, eh? Right now? In Twin Gulch? Send a hurry-up message?” He looked at me, as though he wanted to see a smile on my face, but I couldnt as much as fall down if someone had pushed the chair out from under me. The saucer man said, “Speed is desirable.” “You want Congress, too? The Supreme Court?” “If they will help, sheriff.”Article8_S And Cameron really went to pieces. He banged his income tax form and yelled, “Well, youre not helping me, and I have no time for wise guys who come around, especially foreigners. If you dont get the hell out of here straight away, Ill lock you up for disturbing the peace and Ill never let you out.” “You wish us to leave?” said the man from Venus. “Right now! Get the hell out of here and back to wherever youre from and dont ever come back. I dont want to see you and no one else around here does.” The two men looked at each other. Then the one who had done all the talking said, “I can see in your mind that you really wish, with great intensity, to be left alone.Article9_S Cameron said, “Mister, Im tired of this garbage, so Ill count to three -” They turned and left, and I just knew that everything they said was so. I was listening to them, you see, which Cameron wasnt, because he was busy thinking of his income tax, and it was as though I could hear their minds, know what I mean? I knew that there would be a kind of fence around earth, keeping others out. “It is not our way to force ourselves or our organization on people who do not wish us or it. We will respect your privacy and leave. We will not return. We will put a warning around your world and none will enter.” Article10_S And when they left, I got my voice back - too late. I screamed, “Cameron, for Gods sake, theyre from space. Whyd you send them away?” “From space!” He stared at me. I yelled, “Look!” I dont know how I did it, he being twenty-five pounds heavier than I, but I heaved him to the window by his shirt collar. He was too surprised to resist and when he recovered his wits enough to make like he was going to knock me down, he caught sight of what was going on outside the window and the breath went out of him. They were getting into the flying saucer, those two men, and the saucer sat there, large, round, shiny and kind of powerful, you know. Then it took off. It went up easy as a feather and a red-orange glow showed up on one side and got brighter as the ship got smaller till it was a shooting star again, slowly fading out.Article11_S And I said, “Sheriff, whyd you send them away? They had to see the President. Now theyll never come back.” Cameron said, “I thought they were foreigners. They said they had to learn our language. And they talked funny.”Article12_S “Oh, fine. Foreigners.” “They said they were foreigners and they looked Italian. I thought they were Italian.” “How could they be Italian? They said they were from the planet Venus. I heard them. They said so.” “The planet Venus.” His eyes got real round. “They said it. They called it the watery place or something. You know Venus has a lot of water on it.” But you see, it was just an error, a stupid error, the kind anyone could make. Only now Earth is never going to have another Venusian visit us. That dope, Cameron, and his income tax! Because he whispered, “Venus! When they talked about the watery place, I thought they meant Venice!” It was actually Bart Camerons error and youll have to understand about Bart Cameron. Hes the sheriff at Twin Gulch, Idaho, and Im his deputy. Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax. You see, besides being sheriff, he also owns and runs the general store, hes got some shares in a sheep ranch, hes got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran (bad knee) and a few other things like that. Naturally, it makes his tax figures complicated. It wouldnt be so bad if hed let a taxman work on the forms with him, but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man. By April 14, he isnt approachable.Article2_S_popwin_it1. What does “not approachable” mean here?2. Note:It means “not friendly or easy to talk to.”approachable用来形容人，表示易亲近的、用来形容人，表示易亲近的、友好的友好的（friendly and easy to talk to）； 用来形容某个地方，用来形容某个地方， 意思是可接近的意思是可接近的（able to be reached from a particular direction or by a particular means）。3. Why do you think by April 14, Bart Cameron isnt approachable?According to the author, Bart Cameron is an impatient man and gets very irritable when he has to work up his income tax. April 15 is the deadline for tax forms to be mailed. So on April 14 some people stay up late trying to finish all the tax forms. Since Cameron has got very complicated tax figures, he naturally grows particularly impatient and testy when working on them.

Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax.

Spaceships are crisscrossing space among a million worlds, probably, but they will never come here. I know that, too. All on account of a ridiculous error. Ill explain. Article2_w It was actually Bart Camerons error and youll have to understand about Bart Cameron. Hes the sheriff at Twin Gulch, Idaho, and Im his deputy. Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax. You see, besides being sheriff, he also owns and runs the general store, hes got some shares in a sheep ranch, hes got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran (bad knee) and a few other things like that. Naturally, it makes his tax figures complicated. It wouldnt be so bad if hed let a taxman work on the forms with him, but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man. By April 14, he isnt approachable.Article3_w So its too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14, 1956. I saw it land. My chair was backed up against the wall in the sheriffs office, and I was looking at the stars through the windows and wondering if I ought to knock off and hit the sack or keep on listeningto Cameron curse real steady as he went over his columns of figures for the hundred twenty-seventh time. It looked like a shooting star at first, but then the track of light broadened into two things that looked like rocket exhausts and the thing came down without a sound.Article4_w Two men got out. I couldnt say anything or do anything. I couldnt choke or point; I couldnt even bug my eyes. I just sat there. Cameron? He never looked up. There was a knock on the door. It opened and the two men from the flying saucer stepped in. I would have thought they were city fellows if I hadnt seen the flying saucer land. They wore gray suits, with white shirts and dark red-brown ties. They had on black shoes and black hats. They had dark complexions, black wavy hair and brown eyes. They had very serious looks on their faces and were about five foot ten apiece. They looked very much alike. God, I was scared.Article5_w One of the two stepped forward. He said, “We have had your people under observation a long time.” He pronounced each word carefully and all by itself. Cameron said, “My people? All I gots a wife. Whats she been doing?” The fellow in the suit said, “We have chosen this locality for our first contact because it is isolated and peaceful. We know that you are the leader here.” But Cameron just looked up when the door opened and frowned. He said, “What can I do for you, folks?” and he tapped his hand on the forms so it was obvious he hadnt much time.Article6_w “Im the sheriff, if thats what you mean, so spit it out. Whats your trouble?” “We have been careful to adopt your mode of dress and even to assume your appearance. We have also learned your language.” You could see the light break in on Cameron. He said, “You guys foreigners?” Cameron didnt go much for foreigners, never having met many outside the army, but generally he tried to be fair. The man from the saucer said, “Foreigners?

The saucer man said, “Speed is desirable.” “You want Congress, too? The Supreme Court?” “If they will help, sheriff.”Article8_w And Cameron really went to pieces. He banged his income tax form and yelled, “Well, youre not helping me, and I have no time for wise guys who come around, especially foreigners. If you dont get the hell out of here straight away, Ill lock you up for disturbing the peace and Ill never let you out.” “You wish us to leave?” said the man from Venus. “Right now! Get the hell out of here and back to wherever youre from and dont ever come back. I dont want to see you and no one else around here does.” The two men looked at each other. Then the one who had done all the talking said, “I can see in your mind that you really wish, with great intensity, to be left alone.Article9_w Cameron said, “Mister, Im tired of this garbage, so Ill count to three -” They turned and left, and I just knew that everything they said was so. I was listening to them, you see, which Cameron wasnt, because he was busy thinking of his income tax, and it was as though I could hear their minds, know what I mean? I knew that there would be a kind of fence around earth, keeping others out. “It is not our way to force ourselves or our organization on people who do not wish us or it. We will respect your privacy and leave. We will not return. We will put a warning around your world and none will enter.” Article10_w And when they left, I got my voice back - too late. I screamed, “Cameron, for Gods sake, theyre from space. Whyd you send them away?” “From space!” He stared at me. I yelled, “Look!” I dont know how I did it, he being twenty-five pounds heavier than I, but I heaved him to the window by his shirt collar. He was too surprised to resist and when he recovered his wits enough to make like he was going to knock me down, he caught sight of what was going on outside the window and the breath went out of him. Article11_w They were getting into the flying saucer, those two men, and the saucer sat there, large, round, shiny and kind of powerful, you know. Then it took off. It went up easy as a feather and a red-orange glow showed up on one side and got brighter as the ship got smaller till it was a shooting star again, slowly fading out. And I said, “Sheriff, whyd you send them away? They had to see the President. Now theyll never come back.” Cameron said, “I thought they were foreigners. They said they had to learn our language. And they talked funny.”Article1_w_popwin_ on account of THE WATERY PLACE Were never going to have visitors from space. No extraterrestrials will ever land on Earth - at least, any more.
