同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的心理感受。
2. 他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的词；同情是针对他人的一般困境而发
的，无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模仿行为，那时他们会意识到别人的痛苦与自己的不同，会更有能力安慰别人。 3. 我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正常
脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好，我就会微微转过头，把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。 4. 我告诉他说：“我基本上只读唇语，因为这比用手语更容易，但这不是我一
直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来，主人放大音乐的音量，调暗“舞池”的灯光；我不得不凑近他，近得多得多，以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。我的确读到了他的唇语。 6
1. The moment I saw those old photos in the drawer, tears welled up in my eyes, for
my memory went back to the days when I lived happily with my grandparents, my parents and my brothers and sisters.
2. When a student slipped on a pool of water and fell over, people’s reaction
diverged from one another. Some approached caringly to see if he was hurt and if they could help; some just stood there confusing over what to do about it; while others just tuned out.
3. Last Saturday morning, I did the usual and went shopping in the supermarket.
When I was about to open the door of my car, I found that I did not have my wallet on me. I could do nothing but go back home in search of it, but I failed to find it anywhere.
4. When I was a second grader, one of my classmates got a red radio-controlled toy
car as a birthday gift. The rest of us could only admire, but could not imitate, because the car was expensive and was bought in Hong Kong, a place which seemed to us as far away as New York at that time.

1. 这是2002年的电影《有种来抓我》的剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔（莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演）的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师，曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色，在26个国家伪造了价值600万美元以上的支票。他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的通缉犯。
2. 2003年以来，身份盗窃案变得越来越常见。很少有人会想象到，为了预防这种改变人生的犯罪，采取一些预防措施有多么重要，比如把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去，甚至使用几美元一支的（特效）笔等等。
3. 假如说我们从恐怖分子那里——更不用说从动作电影那里——学到了一招，那就是，工具也是武器。全球通用的信用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业摩擦的工具。换句话说，它们是以让各方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工具。
4. 无论通用身份的前景如何，我们尚不知道该如何应付这样一个世界：无论我身在何处，一切都可能与我有关联。一方面，这个世界给我们提供了无可置疑的种种方便；另一方面，我们又面对着所有这些强化组合的信息（如果是合理的强化组合该多好啊）所带来的种种危险。这种危险虽然模糊，但显然
离我们很近。我们尚不知如何在两者之间保持平衡。

5. These are important documents, the content of which should be kept strictly
confidential. If you need to dispose of them, you must shred them or tear them up instead of throwing them out with the trash.
6. Nowadays, white-collar crimes such as forging checks, ID cards and credit cards
have become very common. Though we have learnt much about how to prevent ourselves from being cheated, it seems that we could be its victims at any time. 7. It has been several months since the earthquake. Life has returned to normal, and
people are busy going about their business. But there is no escaping the fact that the mental trauma the earthquake brought to people will never be wiped out.
8. Why does it matter that a library has many new books and electronic resources
readily available to the readers? This is because if so, the scholars know the latest development in their own fields and know whether their research is valuable.

The late-night edition of the paper was bought by a lot of people interested in the result of the match.
The princess was followed across the town by photographers determined to get a photo of her.
The programme was watched by millions of people hoping to win the star prize. The alarm was set off by two children startled to hear a noise in the back room. The police were contacted by one of the boys’ mothers worried that he might have got lost.
The front-page headlines were changed by the editor hoping to be the first to break the news.
Online editions of the newspapers are being read by more and more people not wanting to buy the traditional edition. 4
1. So odd was the newsreader’s accent that I couldn’t understand what she was
saying.
2. So incredibly bad was the language on that programme that I switched off the
TV.
3. So exaggerated was the story that it had to be completely rewritten.
4. So careless was one of the trainees that he left his notebook at the scene of
the crime
5. So great was the distance from one region to the next that we had to ravel by
plane.
6. So slow were Frank’s reactions that he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the car in
front. 5
1. 一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问
题，都会造成戏剧性的后果，从贫穷问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都会在同一天成为头条。对比之下，9/11不仅具有国际性，而且奇特怪异、出人意料，还（可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的痛苦感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。
2. 但是，电视新闻未必比报纸报道更客观或更可靠，因为你在屏幕上看到
的图像是经过记者或编辑根据特殊的目的，或至少是按照指示筛选过的；它们是从一个独特的视点展现给观众的。如果把摄像机移到别的地方，你就会看到另一番景象。
3. 互联网为任何有意见的人提供了一个便利的窗口；报纸编辑最喜欢的莫
过于给它们提供各种不同的反馈和意见，他们能从中得到安慰。如今十几岁的少年已不记得曾经没有互联网的日子了；只有在写关于印刷新闻
