Task3 The independence-versus-interdependence issue has been written about regularly and is often introduced as the major issue separating the two worlds of scientific employment: academic and industrial. For decades, academia has paid lip service to the idea of collaboration, but the incentive-and-reward system has been slow to adjust. Despite the widespread interest in collaboration and its obvious value in an academic setting, collaboration remains informal and is actually discouraged by the tenure process, in which scholars are penalized for sharing credit for their work with others. Large-scale academic collaboration has taken place successfully in the past; the Manhattan Project and contemporaneous radar research, and numerous experimental particle physics projects, to cite just a few examples, are not perhaps academic in the purest sense, but they demonstrate that academic scientists can play well with others. More recently, new systems biology studies are bringing a sense of teamwork into academic life science labs, but there have been some growing pains. Still, in most of academic science – including the life science – the lone wolf still rules. Unit4 Task1 1. Although such a statement may seem self-centered, it’s actually quite insightful/perceptive. 2. Among other things, people who like themselves are more open to criticism and less demanding/exacting of others. 3. It can be romantic, exciting, obsessive/compulsive, and irrational. 4. And, people who say they are “in love” emphasize caring, intimacy, and commitment/fidelity. 5. In any type of love, caring about the other person is essential. Although love may involve passionate yearning/desire, respect is a more important quality. 6. Instead, it is an unhealthy or possessive/jealous dependency that limits the lovers’ social, emotional, and intellectual growth. 7. These misconceptions often lead to unrealistic expectations, stereotypes, and disillusionment/disenchantment. 8. It means paying bills, putting out the garbage, scrubbing toilet bowls, being up all night with a sick body, and performing myriad/numerous other “oatmeal” tasks that are not very sexy. 9. Even during the preteen years, romantic experiences are cultured in the sense that societal and group practices and expectations shape/form romantic experience. 10. Once desire diminishes, disappointed lovers may wonder where the “spark” in their relationship has gone and may reminisce/recall regretfully (and longingly) about “the good old days”. Task2 1. The two countries have always maintained close relations. 2. When we’re together, all he talks about is business. I wish he were more romantic. 3.

He surprised me with his intimate knowledge of Kierkegaard and Schopenhauer. Task3 If we look at love in other countries and cultures, we find many variations. In societies, like India, love is not necessarily a prerequisite for marriage. Even highly educated Indian men and women who date non-Indians while living in Western countries often consent to arranged marriages. Respect for parents’ wishes, family traditions, and duty to the kin group are more important than love. Most middle and upper-middle class women in India can marry whomever they want. Many, however, prefer arranged marriages and have veto power over undesirable candidates. Arranged marriages are attractive because they offer more stability than love. According to one highly educated woman in Calcutta who has been happily married for three years to a man she had met just three times before their engagement, love isn’t essential for marital happiness: “I met a lot of people I liked, but no one was suitable for marriage, because I was looking for practicality also. Love is important, but it’s not sufficient.  Unit5 Task1 1. The speaker announced the establishment/setup of a new college. 2.

Early descriptions of yoga arewrittenin Sanskrit, the classical literary language of India. The first known work is The Yoga Sutras, written more than 2000 years ago, although yoga may have beenpracticedup to 5000 years ago. The initial concepts have beenadaptedover time through translation and scholarly interpretation, but thefundamental principles describing the practice of yoga in the quest of thesoulremain largely intact. Yoga has beendescribedas “the union of mind, body, and spirit”, which addresses physical,mental, intellectual, emotional and spiritual dimensions towards an overall harmoniousstate of being. The philosophy of yoga is sometimespicturedas a tree with eight branches. These eight limbs are: pranayama (breathing exercises), asana (physical postures), yama (moral behavior), niyama (healthy habit), dharana (concentration), prathyahara (sense withdrawal), dhyana (contemplation), and Samadhi (higher consciousness). There are several schools of yoga practice, such as hatha yoga, karma yoga, and raja yoga. These schools vary in the proportions of theexercisesof the eight limbs. However, they are all similar in working towards the goal of self-realization andcontrolof mental, physiological, and psychological parameters through yogicexperiences. In the United States and Europe, hatha yoga is commonly practiced,includingpranayama and asanas. Yoga is often practiced by healthy individualswith the aim to achieve relaxation, fitness, and a healthy lifestyle. Yoga has also been recommended and used for a variety ofmedicalconditions. Yoga techniques can be learned in classes or through videotape instruction. Classes last from to minutes and are offered at various skill levels. Unit6 Task1 1.

Task3 The culture of New York City is shaped by centuries of immigration, the city’s size and variety, and its status as the cultural capital of the United States. Because of itssheersize and cultural influence, New York has been thesubjectof many different, and oftencontradictoryportrayals in the mass media. From the sophisticated andworldlymetropolis seen in many Woody Allen films, to the hellish andchaoticurban jungle depicted in such movies as Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, New York has served as the unwitting backdrop for virtually every conceivable viewpoint on big city life. In the early years of film New York City was characterized as urbane andsophisticated. By the city’s crisis period in the 1970s, however, films like Midnight Cowboy, The French Connection, Marathon Man, and Death Wish showed New York as full of chaos andviolence. With the city’s renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s came new portrayals on television; Friends, Seinfeld, and Sex and the City showed life in the city to beglamorousand interesting. Nonetheless a disproportionate number ofcrimedramas, such as Law & Order, continue to make criminality in the city their subject, even as New York has become thesafestlarge city in the United States in the last two decades.  Unit7 Task1 1.
