 1.In this course we have tried to prepare you to understand and discuss important topics that are often in the news.
  
 2.Sometimes the news is good news, but all too often we learn of problems  and crises. 
  
 3.Once in a while , an event is extraordinary and will change the world.
  
 4.In this lesson, we focus on an event that changed history forever.
  
 5.This historic event was the  assassination(美[əˌsæsɪ'neɪʃn]  ,n.暗杀）of the Roman leader,Julius Caesar.
  
 这个历史事件就是罗马领袖尤利乌斯·恺撒暗杀案。
  
 6.We will never know how history might have been different had this event not taken place.
  
 7.But we can  speculate (美[ˈspɛkjəˌlet],vt.猜测，推测，思索） what caused it and how it might have been prevented.
  
 1.One of the most famous assassinations in history was the assassination of Julius Caesar.
  
 2.At the time of his death in 44 B.C., he was the leader of the Roman  Empire .(美[ˈɛmˌpaɪr],n.帝国，大企业组织）
  
 3.His title was " Dictator(美[ˈdɪkteɪtər] n.独裁者; 专制者; 发号施令者; 专横的人;)
  
    for Life" which meant he had absolute  authority  (美[əˈθɔ:rəti]n.权威; 权力; 学术权威; [复数] 当权者;)for as long as he lived.
  
 4.He had gained this power through his successes as a  military( 美[ˈmɪləteri]
  
 adj.军事的; 军用的; 讨厌的; 好战的;n.军队; 军人; 武装力量;) commande r.(美[kəˈmændə(r)]n.指挥官，司令官; [海] 中校，副舰长; 木槌;)
  
 5.In fact ,some historians consider him to be one of the greatest military commanders in history.

 2.For example, he increased the number of  senator s and changed how they were chosen.(美[ˈsɛnətɚ]n.参议员;)
  
 3.Instead of being elected, they could be  appointed , even if they were not from Rome.(美[ə'pɔɪntɪd]adj.指定的，约定的;v.约定; 任命( appoint的过去式和过去分词 ); 确定; 安排;)
  
 参议员可以被任命，而不是通过选举，哪怕他们不是来自罗马。
  
 4.These actions reduces the power of individual senators and  shift ed the power of Caesar himself.(美[ʃɪft]vt.改变; 换挡; 去掉; 摆脱掉;)
  
 这些措施削弱了个体参议员的权利，将权力转移到凯斯自己手中。
  
 5.In doing so, he created many enemies, especially among the  aristocracy.(贵族阶层) 
  
  这样做，使他四面树敌，尤其是贵族阶层。 
  
 6.Howere,he also had many admirers who supported his efforts to end corruption.
  
 1.Caesar was  stab bed to death by a group of Roman Senators on March 15, 44 B.C.(stab 美[stæb]vt.刺; 刺; 将…刺入; 对…做出刺或戳的动作;)

 n.部属; 部下，下级;)
  
 这一举措惹恼了不愿意听从凯撒下属发号施令的罗马参议院。
  
 5.He should have been aware that many of the senators hated him, but he  dismiss ed (vt.解雇，遣散）his security force not long before the assassination.
  
 他本应该意识到许多参议员憎恨他，但是就在谋杀不久前他遣散了他的安全部队。
  
 6.If he hadn't dismissed it, the assassination attempt might not have succeeded.
  
 1.On the day of his assassination, it is reported that Caesar may have been handed a warning note as he entered the senate.
  
 2.If he did receive such a note, he didn't read it.
  
 3.It seems as if he was in a state of  denial ( 美[dɪˈnaɪəl]  n.克制; 否认，否定; )and refused to recognize the danger that was facing him.
  
 4.Once he had entered the senate, he was surrounded by senators holding daggers(n.匕首; 短剑), or knives.
  
 5.The first  blow  ( n.打击，殴打）hit Caesar in his neck and drew blood(导致出血）.

 2. Eventually,several of the leading assassins were either killed or committed suicide.
  
 最终，几个主要的刺杀者不是被杀就是自杀。
  
 3.After a power struggle,Octavian strengthened his position as leader and ruled the Empire for many years.

3. 英语流利说 Level6 Unit2 Part4 Dialogue: John's Resignation

John’s Resignation 
  
 So what is it that you wanted to see me about, John?
  
 I thought it would be good for us to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
  
 You're unhappy with how things are going, right?
  
 Yes, I am. But I don't want others in the company to know.
  
 I thought we should meet outside.
  
 Ok, so what are you thinking?
  
 To be perfectly frank, I’ve decided that it doesn’t make sense for me to stay with the company.
  
 You are the CEO, but I don’t agree with how you’re handling things.
  
 I can no longer support you.
  
 Hmm, OK, I have suspected that for quite a while.
  
 I’m still happy to support the company if I can, of course, but I’d like to work elsewhere.
  
 There's a start-up that has contacted me, and I’m planning to join them as soon as I can.
  
 Are you gentlemen really to order?
  
 No, not yet.
  
 Could you come back in a few minutes?
  
 Certainly, sir.
  
 Well, we are going to miss you.
  
 There's nothing I can say that would change your mind?
  
 No, it’s too late for that.
  
 I no longer have confidence in your decisions.
  
 Your latest business plan, for example, makes no sense at all.
  
 It makes us weaker in the area where we are strong, and it takes us in some new areas where we can’t compete.
  
 Well, that’s where we disagree.
  
 So, if that’s the way you feel about it, I agree that it’s best that you work somewhere else.
  
 Still, I hope we can count on you when we need you for something.
  
 Sure, keep me informed and let me know if and when I can be useful.
  
 I will.
  
 So how do you propose that we should communicate this to the company.
  
 I will write up something and you can review it.
  
 I’ll make it sound as positive as possible.
  
 OK, thanks.
  
 I’m sure it will come as a shock to many.
  
 Things are already difficult enough.
  
 I know and maybe I’m wrong.
  
 Maybe your plan will work.
  
 If so, I will be the first to congratulate you.
  
 Are you ready to order?
  
 Sure, though I don’t feel like eating much.
  
 Waiter.
  
  In a heart-to-heart conversation…people  are expected to reveal their true feelings to each other.
  
  He disagrees with how the CEO is running the company. 
  
  It’s obvious that they have some problems between them. 
  
  John’s resignation is best for the company. 
  
  To count on someone means about the same as to rely on  them.
  
  From this exchange it means as if… the CEO realizes that John’s departure  will make things even more difficult.
  
  It’s clear that he is going to resign because he no longer  supports the CEO.

4. 英语流利说懂你英语 Level6 Unit2 Part3 Reading - Urban Elderly Care in India

Lack  of  adequate  care for senior citizens is a real issue in India that cuts across economic and social strata.
  
 Many of us have personally lived through and experienced it  with our parents and elders.
  
 Most senior citizens, especially those who live independently, are unable to get the care and trusted support they need.
  
 As a result, they  compromise  on their needs and lifestyle.
  
 Their children or caregivers are forced to spend  disproportionate  time, and/or resources to support them.
  
 So much so, that many women are forced to stay away from the workforce to take care of elders at home.
  
 The  imminent   demographic , economic, and social changes that accompany the growing population of senior citizens, together with the rising  aspirations  of the young, leading to more women in the workforce, are rapidly driving up the  magnitude  of this problem.
  
 If we look at numbers, India is home to 115 million elderly, which is more than 8% of the population.
  
 Many of us don't realize it, but that puts India into the  category  of "aging" countries.
  
 While India's overall population will grow by about 40% from 2006 to 2050, the population of the oldest elderly, 80 plus, will grow 500%  over  the same period.
  
 This should be enough to make one take notice.
  
 Engaging with the elderly will become one of the biggest areas of work in the country.
  
 Some may see this as a challenge and some as a huge  opportunity .
  
 Businesses have attempted to address this only  sporadically  with emotional advertising that  features  a  poignant  conversation involving an elderly grandparent.
  
 But there has been very little effort to provide products and services.
  
 The reasons for such  apathy , especially among entrepreneurs, are not difficult to guess.冷漠
  
 Many feel that the elderly are  cynical , not open to experiment, and not willing to spend.愤世嫉俗的
  
 Investors see bigger opportunities for  exponential  growth in addressing young, upwardly mobile consumers.                                             指数的
  
 Still, I'm left with the question of why aren't more products and services designed for the elderly?
  
 I sense a problem looking for a solution.
  
 （To be  apathetic  means? 
  
 A. To be completely engaged. 完全投入
  
 B. To be highly  ambitious .雄心勃勃。
  
 C. To  aspire  to greatest.立志成为最伟大的人
  
 D. To show little or no interest）不感兴趣

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you want to leave.
  
 But I really want you to reconsider.
  
 You have only been here for a year.
  
 That isn't very long, and it won't help your resume if you decide to look for a job in the future.
  
 
  
  
 Once the Iceman's body was extracted from the ice, it was taken in for examination.
  
 Upon examination, scientists determined that the Iceman lived around 5,300 years ago.
  
 This was at the end of the Stone Age, nearly 1000 years before the great pyramids were built.
  
 This made him the oldest mummy ever found.
  
 
  
  
 There was one girl I had a crush on, but I thought she was interested in somebody else.
  
 I didn't find out until much later that she was interested in me too.
  
 It was a lost opportunity, one of many.
  
 
  
  
 You have great potential and I don't want to lose you.
  
 If you already had a job offer, I wouldn't stand in your way.
  
 But since you don't, I really want you to stay.
