Rock music began in America in the late 1950s. It was not only a new musical form, but also a forum for the America youth to express their ideas of the world and life. On this forum, the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights, war and peace, their disaffection of the society, and a range of emotions between love and hate. All in all, on this forum, the American youth redefined their beliefs and feelings for American society. The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley, singer and poet Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and so on. They were the culture heroes worshipped by young people.
Lesson Two Four Choices for Young People A

2. “drop out” means to withdraw from conventional society. The author says that the dropouts are parasitic because they batten on the society in which they refuse to take any responsibility. 3.

American young people in the 1960s were a generation of rebellion. They found America, an affluent society, full of poverty, injustice and hypocrisy. They no longer believed in the adult world which did not belong to them and rejected its beliefs and values. Many young people threw themselves into tie battles against poverty, facial discrimination and Vietnam War. Some of them even attempted to overthrow the society through revolution. Many others expressed their resentment in passive ways. They took drugs and lived a parasitic life without taking any social responsibility, or fled to the unsullied countryside to live a rather primitive communal life.
Lesson Three The Use of Force A
1. Because it was very damp there sometimes. They had her in the kitchen where it was warm. 2. Because they were new patients and they knew how stubborn their child was. They thought it was hard to diagnose the child. Besides, they just spent three dollars on the doctor. They doubted whether the doctor could do his best in such cases.
3. She didn’t know the seriousness of the disease——diphtheria. And she didn’t want the doctor to find that her tonsils were covered with membrane, she was very self-willed. All these made her refuse to open her mouth.
4. Because the doctor had seen at least two children lying dead in bed of neglect in such cases. He must diagnose in time. Besides, a blind fury, a feeling of adult shame, bred of a longing for muscular release are the immediate operatives.
5. Before the doctor could see anything she came down again and gripped the wooden blade between her molars.
6. In the final unreasoning assault the doctor overpowered the child’s neck and jaws. He forced the heavy silver spoon back of the girl’s teeth and down her throat.
7. This is an open-ended question. In a sense, there’s some relation between the girl’s physical beauty and the outcome of the incident. The girl’s parents spoiled her because of her beauty, This formed her self-willed character. If the girl was ugly, the situation may be different. However, in another sense, there’s no necessary relation between the girl’s beauty and the outcome of the incident. That’s because a child’s character is affected by various elements. No matter a child is pretty or not, he may become a self-willed child.

6. 在接下来的较量中他们变得越来越可怜、受压制、精疲力竭,而她由于对我的害怕产生的狂怒当然已经
达到了惊人的程度。
7. 她张开了嘴,但只是一瞬间,在我看清之前她又闭上了,并且把木制压舌板紧紧咬在臼齿之间。在我抽 出

Mathilda had been ill for three days. Mother had given her some medicine; but it didn’t do any good. So she had to ask the doctor to come, Since some students had got diphtheria in the school to which Mathilda went and two of them had already died. The doctor, arriving at Olson’s, would first examine Mathilda’s throat. No matter how coaxed, she didn’t open her mouth. So the doctor had to get the wooden tongue depressor between her teeth. Mathilda, however, reduced it to splinters. In order to protect Mathilda herself and other children, the doctor had to make clear whether she had diphtheria or not, so that he could cure it in time. Therefore, he asked Mathilda’s father to hold both her wrists, and he himself forced the child to open her mouth. And there it was
—she really had diphtheria. The story sets us thinking of this question that not everything can depend on willingness in in life and it is necessary to use some force under certain circumstances.
Lesson Four Die as You Choose A
1. Yes. In Holland, mercy-killing is accepted by medical establishment and openly practiced a few thousand times each year.
2. Because they keep euthanasia secret. In America, they can rarely discuss euthanasia openly with patients—even when those patients beg them for it—doctors tend to kill only when the dying are too far gone to consent. Thus, because voluntary euthanasia is taboo, a doctor makes the decision himself and the patient is killed involuntarily.
3. Passive euthanasia is letting patients die without using all the might of medical technology to prolong the lives of patients. Active euthanasia is killing the patients. No.
4. A “living-will” is a document written by a person sound in mind and body stating whether he/she should receive any medical treatment or what kind of medical treatment he/ she should receive if he/she should contract some incurable disease.

然的。
5. 对主动安乐死和被动安乐死的区分还会持续多久?
6. 那么，他使用足够多的止痛药去杀人就一定错了吗？医生釆取了行动而不是疏忽职守，就应谴责他吗？ 7. 最英勇地顶住压力,拒绝参与纳粹分子医疗暴行的是荷兰医生，这也许绝非巧合。
8. 那些近代自由主义传统未被打断过的国家，对为自愿安乐死设立一些有限规则并没太多要担心的。
