Unit1如今，很多年轻人不再选择稳定的工作，他们更愿意自主创业，依靠自己的智慧和奋斗去实现自我价值。青年创业（youngentrepreneurship）是未来国家经济活力的来源，创业者的成功不但会创造财富、增加就业机会、改善大家的生活，从长远来看，对于国家更是一件好事，创业者正是让中国经济升级换代的力量。尤其是在当前，国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新，在政策上给予中小企业支持，这更加激发了年轻人的创业热情。Nowadays,manyyoungpeoplenolongerchoose“stable”jobs.Instead,theyprefertostarttheirownbusinessesandrealizetheirself-valuethroughtheirownwisdomandefforts.Youngentrepreneurshipisthesourceofnationaleconomicvitalityinthefuture.Thesuccessofentrepreneursnotonlycreatesfortune,increasesjobopportunities,improvespeople’slife,butitisalsogoodforthecountryinthelongterm.EntrepreneursareadrivingforceinupgradingChina’seconomy.Especiallyforthetimebeing,ourcountryisencouragingpeopletostarttheirownbusinessesandmakeinnovationsandgivingpolicysupportformediumandsmallbusinesses.Thisfurtherarousesyoungpeople'senthusiasmtostarttheirownbusinesses.Unit2实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation）是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我们称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。Realizingthegreatnationalrejuvenation,whichwedefineastheChineseDream,hasbeenthegreatestChineseexpectationsincemoderntimes.Itbasicallymeansachievingprosperityforthecountry,renewalofthenationandhappinessforthepeople,thusensuringthateveryenterprisingChinesecarries,generationaftergeneration,thefirmconvictionthatabetterlifeisaccomplishedthroughpersistenteffort.Peopleshouldachievetheirprosperitythroughdiligence,courage,creativityanddeterminationinsteadofaidfromsocietyorotherpeople.EachindividualisaparticipantandadesignerinthecauseofrealizingtheChineseDream,foritisadreamnotonlyfortheentirenationbutalsoforeveryChinese.Unit3水墨画（inkandwashpainting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意象，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。Inkandwashpainting,oneoftheuniquetraditionalartformsofChina,isrepresentativeofChinesepainting.ItbeganaroundthetimeoftheTangDynasty,andthenprosperedintheSongandYuandynasties.Withahistoryofoveronethousandyears,ithasexperiencedconstantdevelopment,improvementandperfection.Thetoolsandmaterialsusedtocreateinkandwashpainting,i.e.brushes,ricepaper,andink,arecharacteristicofChinesecultureandcloselyrelatedtothefeaturesofthepaintings.Forexample,themixingofwaterandinkcreatesdifferentshadesofdryness,wetness,thicknessandthinness.Theintegrationandinfiltrationofwater,ink,andricepaperenablessuchpaintingstoconveyrichimages,andhencetoachieveuniqueaestheticeffects.InkandwashpaintingholdsahighstatusinthehistoryofChinesepainting,anditisevenregardedasthecriteriontoevaluatetheartisticlevelofOrientalpaintings.Unit4丽江地处云南省西北部，境内多山。丽江古城坐落在玉龙雪山脚下，是一座风景秀丽的历史文化名城，也是我国保存完好的少数民族古城之一。丽江古城始建于南宋，距今约有800年的历史。丽江不仅历史悠久，而且民族众多，少数民族人口占全区人口的半数以上。随着丽江旅游业的发展，到丽江古城观光游览的中外游客日益增多。1997年12月，丽江古城申报世界文化遗产获得成功，填补了中国在世界文化遗产中无历史文化名城的空白。LijiangisamountainouscityinnorthwestYunnanProvince.TheoldtownofLijiang,locatedatthefootofJadeDragonSnowMountain,isatownofscenicbeautyandknownforitshistoryandculture.Itisalsoawell-preservedoldtownwithfeaturesofethnicminorities.TheconstructionworkoftheoldtownwasstartedfromtheSouthernSongDynastyabout800yearsfromnow.NotonlydoesLijiangboastalonghistory,butalsoitboastsmanyethnicminoritieswhomakeupoverahalfofthetotalpopulationintheregion.WiththeboomingofLijiangtourism,theoldtownofLijiangisreceivingagrowingnumberoftouristsfromhomeandabroad.InDecember1997,theoldtownsucceededinapplyingtobenamedaWorldCulturalHeritageSite,fillingthegapoflackinganotedhistoricalandculturalcityinChinaontheWorldCulturalHeritageList.Unit5中国是茶的故乡，也是茶文化的发源地。自古以来，茶就被誉为中华民族的“国饮”。无论是文人墨客生活中的“琴棋书画诗酒茶”，还是平民百姓生活中的“柴米油盐酱醋茶”，茶都是必备品。同时，中国又是文明古国，礼仪之邦。凡是来了客人或朋友，沏茶、敬茶的礼仪必不可少。随着中外文化交流和商业贸易的发展，中国茶及茶文化传向了全世界。现在五大洲有不少国家种茶，也有很多国家从中国进口茶。中国茶和中国的丝绸及瓷器一样，已经成为中国在全世界的代名词。Chinaisthehometownofteaandthebirthplaceofteaculture.Sinceancienttimes,teahasbeenknownasthenationaldrinkofChina.InboththeChinesescholars'sevendailynecessities,namelymusic,chess,calligraphy,painting,poetry,wineandteaandcommonpeople'ssevenones,namelyfirewood,rice,oil,salt,soysauce,vinegarandtea,teaislistedasoneofthenecessities.Meanwhile,Chinaisacountrywithancientcivilizationandalandofcourtesy.Thepracticeofmakingandservingteaisessentialwheneverthereareguestsorfriends.Withthedevelopmentofculturalexchange,commerceandtradebetweenChinaandothercountries,Chineseteaandteaculturespreadtotheworld.Today,anumberofcountriesacrossthefivecontinentsgrowteaplants,andmanycountriesimportteafromChina.Chinesetea,likeChinesesilkandchinaware,hasbecomesynonymouswithChinaintheworld.Unit6《孙子兵法》（TheArtofWar）是我国古代著名的军事家（strategist）孙武的著作。它既是一部经典的军事著作，又是一部光辉的哲学著作，是我国灿烂的古代文化中一份珍贵的遗产。孙武在书中揭示了一系列具有普遍意义的军事规律，提出了一套完整的军事理论体系。这一理论体系不仅深受战国以来历代军事家的重视和推崇，对他们的军事思想和实践产生了重要的影响，而且在世界军事思想领域也拥有广泛的影响，享有极高的声誉。TheArtofWarwaswrittenbySunWu,afamousancientChinesestrategist.Aclassicworknotonlyofmilitaryvaluebutalsoofgreatphilosophicalsignificance,TheArtofWarisapreciousheritageofbrilliantancientChineseculture.SunWudiscl
