全新版大学英语第二版听说教程4 Unit 1 pre-listening task on P 2 1. In what sense do you think we can regard the world we live in as One World? As far as I am concerned, I think the development of the Internet technology has shortened the geographical distance among people all over the globe. This increasing interconnectedness among people in different regions, countries and even continents has gradually rendered the world we live in as One World, in which people of different backgrounds can communicate with each other in no time at all. Take online education as one example, since there is no time and space limitations in an online class any more, a Chinese student can enroll in the online courses of an American professor at any time available and without leaving his house. Just by a click of the mouse, he can enjoy the most advanced education he is desirous of. Therefore, the Internet technology has made the world we live in as One World. 2. Do you think people all over the world are largely similar? Why or why not? From my perspective, people all over the world are both largely similar and amply dissimilar. By saying that all people in the world are largely similar, I mean that the common aspirations of all humanities are nearly the same, i.e. pursuing peace, stability, development, common prosperity, justice and harmony, all of which are lofty goals to be realized through concerted efforts globally. By saying that people all over the world are amply dissimilar, I mean that their approaches of reaching those common goals said above differ from one another or from country to country since we live in such a diverse globe where people are of different cultural, economic, and political backgrounds and have different perspectives. Given the similarities and dissimilarities among humanities, a general principle which should be observed by all is that we should try to seek common grounds while shelving differences.
