are unified,supported,and organized,but one version communicates more
clearly and effectively its ideas than the other.which one,and why?
there are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep
almost anywhere.for example,there is a lot of sleeping on the
bus or train on the way home from work in the evenings.a man will be reading the newspaper,and seconds later it appears as if
he is trying to eat it.or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger sitting next
to him.
another place where unplanned naps go on is in the lecture hall.in some classes,a student will start snoring so
loudly that the professor has to ask another student to shake the sleeper awake.amore embarrassing situation occurs
when a student leans on one elbow and starts drifting off to sleep.the weight of the head pushes the
elbow off the desk,and this momentum carries the rest of the body along.the student wakes up on the floor
with no memory of how he got there.
the worst time to fall asleep is when driving a car.police reports are full of
accidents that occur when people fall asleep at the wheel and go off the road.if the drivers are very lucky,they are not seriously hurt.one woman's car,for instance,went into the river.she woke up in four feet of water
and thought it was raining.when people are really tired,nothing will stop them from falling asleep—no matter where they are.

第二十三单元 如何用举例法推展篇章
根据不同的写作目的,篇章写作一般分为四种主要类型:
1)narration(叙述文)
2)description(描写文)
3)exposition(说明文)
4)persuasion and argumentation(议论文)
从本单元起,我们将着重介绍在大学英语四级统考中应用得最为广泛的说明文。说明文常用于阐述事物的特征、本质、性能、结构、用途等。抽象的说明是很难让人理解和接受的,所以在进行说明时我们常用举例法、比较与对照法、定义与分类法、过程分析法和因果法等写作方法推展段落和篇章。这些方法均已在段落推展法之四、五、六、七、八、九中一一做了介绍。以下我们将在第二十三、二十四、二十五、二十六及二
