22、Writing for Academic Publication

Online Session, 10 weeks

Do you need to publish your research in an international journal? If so, you are certainly not alone. However, writing for academic publication is not a “natural talent”—it is a craft scholars need to learn and develop. This course is designed to give you the necessary tools for that craft, to write research articles in your specific field.

This online course aims to help students develop an awareness of the Research Article(RA)genre, different approaches to RA development, and how to navigate (领航) the academic publishing process in general.

The course is designed for international graduate students(MA and PhD), but may be useful to anyone seeking to develop their RA writing skills. Participants may begin the course at any stage of the research process, but the course will be especially useful to those who already have some data collected.

•Open to graduate students and upper division (毕业水平) students working on major research projects.

•Students enrolling as undergraduates should contact the Summer English Language Studies office for registration permission.

Involvement of the student’s advisor is encouraged, but not a must.

By the end of the course, you will demonstrate that you can write a draft of a full research article in your specific academic field. You can use this article as an example for new manuscripts you write in the future.

Additional information about the course and instructor can be found on this page.

Note: This is a unique opportunity this year to take this UC Berkeley course from anywhere in the world. This course does not require students to be in the Berkeley-area during the course. Students with internet access may enroll and participate in the course wherever it suits them.

23、阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。

I was brought up in the British, stiff upper lip style. Strong feelings aren't something you display in public. So, you can imagine that I was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief at a Chinese funeral.

My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. He was 31. The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. A female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. Somehow we got through the day's work. The next day was the funeral.

Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy(悼词) and was soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: "There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven." Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute, weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading. Me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. Finally, the man's mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. She almost collapsed and had to be held up. We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion.

In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair. It strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West.

Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards. In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens. But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. Chinese grief is no different. I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world.

【1】At the funeral, ________.

A. five individuals made speeches

B. the boss’s speech was best thought of

C. the writer was astonished by the scene

D. everyone was crying out loudly

【2】According to the writer, people in the West ________.

A. prefer to control their sadness in public

B. cry their eyes out at the public funeral

C. are not willing to be sad for the dead

D. have better way to express sadness

【3】It is implied that ________.

A. Chinese express their sadness quite unlike other peoples

B. the English might cry noisily for the dead in Dickens’ time

C. victims of terrorist bombings should be greatly honored

D. English funeral culture is more civilized than the others

【4】This passage talks mainly about_______.

A. an editor’s death

B. funeral customs

C. cultural differences

D. western ways of grief
