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)
