At the early stages of human societies people really“exchanged”goods.they brought things they had in surplus to the market place and eachanged things they needed.

History of Trade History and Development of Trade Realization Task2 A unique laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night.It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers.Their findings have revealed that everyone dreams from three to seven time a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams. While the subjects-usually students are asleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly,all subjects sleep soundly. Odservers report that a person usually fidgets before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine indicates that the dream is over,a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more. Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream,he can usually recall the entire dream.If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have faded. Researchers at the University of Chicago are studying____ Their findings have revealed that___________________ The researchers were surprised to find that _________ Just before a dream,a sleeper will usually____________ In the lab, the dreams are recorded____________________ Task3 We can also share American Culture---------------------15 Three Tales of Computer Romance:Wired for love ――――２２ Float like a Butterfly, Sting Like¨¨Ali ―――――――３７ Film's Fairest Lady――――――――――――――――――５３ A Museum of Hate and Valentine's Day――――――――――５９ No Thanks For the Memories―――――――――――――――６７ Are Big-Time Sports Outwearing Their Welcome?―――――７５ Man and Woman―――――――――――――――――――――８２ Are You and Your Lover compatible?―――――――――――８８ How Not to Be a Model――――――――――――――――１０４ Mr. Maugham and Mr. Gauguin―――――――――――――１１０ We Are Not a Nation of Tax Cheats――――――――――１１８ Buy by Wire―――――――――――――――――――――１２５ Cultural Revolution―――――――――――――――――１３８ Beer Lovers Going With the Flow―――――――――――１４１ Thin Skin But Great Heart――――――――――――――１５８ Cutting Through the Myth ――――――――――――――１６５ Win One for the Gipper――――――――――――――――１７２ Driving Home the Message―――――――――――――――１８１ Beetles Rock the World ―――――――――――――――１８７ Problems of Modern Psychotherapy―――――――――――１９７ Hollywood rocks Madison Avenue――――――――――――２０６ What Is Love?――――――――――――――――――――２１２ The Broadway Festival――――――――――――――――２１８ Example:(82)男人，女人 （212）何为爱情 1．（ ）如何放弃做模特儿 （ ）现代精神疗法问题 2．（ ）电脑购物 （ ）甲壳虫乐队享誉全世界 3．（ ）我们共同拥有美国文化 （ ）百老汇节 4．（　）把信息送回千家万户　　　　　（　）仇恨博物馆及情人节 5.

For we grew up to think with Emerson that America is the country of young man .That was part of our heritage of optimism, of our faith in progress. A society that believed in inevitable improvement, that judged tomorrow will always be better than yesterday, necessarily ascribed a special virtue to youth, less constricted by the errors of the past, more responsive to the opportunities of the future. It was proper that that the young should rise up against the old; experience Would always justify the rebellion. In fact, the old rather expected that this would happen and could enjoy the burden of progress. Perhaps we in our group resent this present generation so much because we fear they are stealing from us the leisure of our conservation.
