Christopher Reeve
UNIT 4
Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 — October 10,
2004) was an American actor, director, producer and writer
renowned for his film portrayal of Superman / Clark Kent.
Reeve was born in New York City to writer / professor
Franklin Reeve and journalist Barbara Johnson.
When he was four, his parents divorced. His mother
moved with sons Christopher and Benjamin to
Princeton, New Jersey, and married an investment
banker a few years later. After graduating from high
school, Reeve studied at Cornell University, while at
the same time working as a professional actor. In his final year
BACK

UNIT 4
of Cornell, he was one of the two students selected (Robin
Williams was the other) to study at New York’s famous
Juilliard School of Performing Arts, under the renowned John
Houseman. Although Christopher is most well known for his
role as Superman (1978), a role which he played with both
charisma and grace, his acting career spans a much larger
ground.
In 1995 Reeve was paralyzed from the neck down in a
riding accident and spent the rest of his life wheelchair-bound,
becoming a spokesperson for the disabled and for stem cell
research.

Selected quotes of Christopher Reeve:
“I was worried that only acting with my voice
and my face, I might not be able to communicate
effectively enough to tell the story, but I was
surprised to find that if I really concentrated, and
just let the thoughts happen, that they would read
on my face. With so many close-ups, I knew that
my every thought would count.”
“So many of our dreams at first seem
impossible, then they seem improbable, and then
when we summon the will, they soon become
inevitable.”

Lance Armstrong
Lance Armstrong was born
September 18, 1971 in Plano,
Texas. His parents divorced when
Armstrong was really young and
Lance was raised by his mother,
Linda. Lance Armstrong got his first
bicycle when he was seven and
started riding every day. Some days
Armstrong would cycle all the way
to Oklahoma and would have to call
his mom to come pick him up.
BACK

UNIT 4
Eventually, Lance Armstrong was able to bike home himself
and started entering amateur races. During his senior year of
high school, he moved to Colorado to train with the US
Olympic development team for cycling.
Lance Armstrong competed in the 1992 Olympics in
Barcelona, Spain, where he placed 14th in the road race.
After the Olympics, Armstrong turned professional and joined
the Motorola cycling team. His professional career didn’t get
off to a great start, as Lance Armstrong finished dead last in
his first race. But in 1993, Armstrong won the World Road
Race Championship in Oslo, Norway and by 1996 Lance
was the seventh-ranked cyclist in the world.

UNIT 4
After competing in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta,
Armstrong started to feel tired and weak and couldn’t race as
well as he used to. Doctors told Lance he had cancer in his
testicles. Lance Armstrong had one of his testicles removed
and started massive chemotherapy. The cancer eventually
spread to Armstrong’s brain and doctors only gave him a 40
percent chance of surviving. That didn’t stop Lance
Armstrong from believing he could race again. Armstrong
had surgery and several more doses of chemotherapy and
was cancer-free by February, 1997.

UNIT 4
Lance Armstrong returned to competitive cycling in 1998,
and in 1999 he entered the grueling Tour de France — a
2,274 mile race through the Alps. Armstrong dominated the
race from start to finish and won the event by nearly seven
minutes. Lance’s amazing comeback from cancer made
Armstrong a world-wide celebrity and an inspiration for other
people with cancer. Since returning to competitive cycling,
Lance Armstrong has been the world’s most dominant force
on two wheels. He won the Tour de France a record six
consecutive times — 1999 to 2004. His success prompted
some to nickname the event the Tour de Lance.

UNIT 4
Armstrong’s achievements have been widely lauded. In
2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named him their Sportsman
of the Year. He was also named Associated Press Male
Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003 and 2004, received ESPN’s
ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003 and 2004, and won
the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas
Personality Award in 2003.

“If I never had cancer, I never would have won.”

Tour de France
UNIT 4
The (Le) Tour de France (French for Tour of France), also
simply known as Le Tour, is an epic long distance
cycling competition for professionals held over three
weeks in July in and around France. It has been held
annually since 1903, only interrupted by World War I
and World War II, and is now one of the world’s
largest sporting events.
Along with the Giro d’Italia (Tour of Italy) and
the Vuelta a Espaa (Tour of Spain), the Tour de
France makes up cycling’s “Grand Tours.”

From the chart, we can see that people jump from job to
job at different rates. The rate has much to do with years of
work experience. The more work experience people have,
the more likely they will move from job to job.
Those with over 10 years of work experience have the
highest rate of job jumping. It is almost 10 times higher than
that of newcomers who have worked less than a year. Wellseasoned workers are the ones most likely to change their
minds.
In today’s changing world, people don’t usually stay at
one job their whole life. They tend to move from one position

to the next because they have a strong desire to grow and
develop. Needing to challenge themselves, people find it
difficult to stay satisfied with what they already have. They
like to move out of or beyond their current financial,
academic and/or social situation. This makes them feel their
life is worthwhile.
Everything is always changing. Nothing ever stands still
in the world. Human beings are part of this movement. Not
only do they have to adapt to the changing times, but also
they have to feel they’re not left behind. It is understandable
that people tend to jump from job to job. Growth, change and

grow. And how can we remain vital if we stay at one job our
whole life? I say that those who jump from job to job are the
ones who keep growing. They keep pushing themselves into
bigger challenges and higher positions.
Student B: Fair enough. But in life if you want to gain something, often you
have to lose something first. When you leave for a new job, you
have to start at the very beginning all over again. That can be
such a waste. You can lose everything you’ve built up over your
career.

UNIT 4
Student C: Maybe so, but you could lose even more if you stay at one job
your whole life. You could lose the chance to discover yourself,
by limiting your path just to the job you are holding down. Doing
something new could widen your horizons.
Student D: I get your point, but you are taking serious risks when you jump
from job to job. You run the risk of leaving a bad impression on
others with such behavior. If you jump from job to job, I’m sure
you’re actually harming, not helping, your chances at promotion.
It’s no good making quick changes.

Reeve wasn’t afraid to look adversity and hardship in the eye
and face it with firm determination. In his book, Still Me, he
told how he considered suicide after his riding accident to
relieve his family of the burden of his condition. But his wife,

心存感激——这些都是我们认为理所当然的事。但它还促

这个世界就太沉闷了。

Practical Writing
UNIT 4
Inquiry Letters
This unit focuses on the inquiry letter. The inquiry letter
is useful when you need information, advice, names, or
directions. Be careful, however, not to ask for too much
information or for information that you could easily obtain in
some other way, for example, by a quick trip to the library.
Types and Contexts
There are two types of inquiry letters: solicited and
unsolicited.
BACK
NEXT
UNIT 4
You write a solicited letter of inquiry when a business or
agency advertises its products or services. For example, if a
software manufacturer advertises some new package it has
developed and you can’t inspect it locally, write a solicited
letter to that manufacturer asking specific questions. If you
cannot find any information on a technical subject, an
inquiry letter to a company involved in that subject may put
you on the right track. In fact, that company may supply
much more help than you had expected (provided of course
that you write a good inquiry letter).
PREV.
NEXT
UNIT 4
Your letter of inquiry is unsolicited if the recipient has
done nothing to prompt your inquiry. For example, if you
read an article by an expert, you may have further questions
or want more information. You seek help from these people
in a slightly different form of inquiry letter. As the steps and
guidelines for both types of inquiry letters show, you must
construct the unsolicited type more carefully, because
recipients of unsolicited letters of inquiry are not ordinarily
prepared to handle such inquiries.
PREV.
NEXT
UNIT 4
Contents and Organization
1. Early in the letter, identify the purpose to obtain help
or information (if it’s a solicited letter, information about an
advertised product, service, or program).
2. In an unsolicited letter, identify who you are, what you
are working on, and why you need the requested information,
and how you found out about the individual. In an unsolicited
letter, also identify the source that prompted your inquiry, for
example, a magazine advertisement.
PREV.
NEXT
UNIT 4
3. In the letter, list questions or information needed in a
clear, specific, and easy-to-read format. If you have quite a
number of questions, consider making a questionnaire and
including a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
4. In an unsolicited letter, try to find some way to
compensate the recipient for the trouble, for example, by
offering to pay copying and mailing costs, to accept a
collect call, to acknowledge the recipient in your report, or
to send him or her a copy of your report. In a solicited letter,
suggest that the recipient send brochures or catalogues.
PREV.
NEXT
UNIT 4
5. In closing an unsolicited letter, express gratitude for
any help that the recipient can provide you, acknowledge the
inconvenience of your request, but do not thank the recipient
“in advance.” In an unsolicited letter, tactfully suggest the
recipient would benefit by helping you (for example, through
future purchases from the recipient’s company).
