这种情况?为什么非得把自己与邻居和同住一城的居民隔绝开来，这一切究竟是从什么时候开始主宰我们生活的?

这一切确实主宰了我们的生活。如果你在一家大中型公司上班，你上下班很可能不好随意进出。你可能随身带着某种出入卡，电子的或别的什么的，因为这卡能让你进出工作场所。也许前台的保安认识你这张脸，平日一挥手让你进去，但事实明摆着，你所任职的公司深感面临威胁，因此要借助这些“钥匙”不让外人靠近。

这种现象并非向来有之。即使在十年前，大多数私营公司仍采取自由出入的做法。那时管理人员根本没想到过恰当的手段是不信任他人。

且看各地机场。过去家长常常带孩子去登机口看飞机起飞降落。这种事再也没有了。机场不再是一个有趣的学习场所；它们成了拥有最精密的安全检查系统的场所。

凭借着电子透视装置，我们似乎终于想出妙计让恐怖分子无法近身，无论是真的恐怖分子还是凭空臆想的。能解决这一问题真是如释重负，于是我们就不去多想这种状况对我们的生活质量意味着什么。如今我们走过这些电子搜查器时已经看都不看一眼了；这些装置，还有它们所代表的一切已经获胜。

我们的居住区处在强光源的照射之下；我们连哪怕像阴影这样小小的享受也不想给自己。越来越多的商人正购置连接在电话机上、能剖析来电者声音的新机器。据说那种机器能让商人知道他的朋友或客户是否在撒谎，其出错概率很小。

所有这一切都是以“安全”的名义实施的：我们是这么跟自己说的。我们害怕，于是我们设法把害怕锁在外面，我们认定，那就是安全的意义。

其实不然；我们虽然有了这一切安全措施，但我们或许是人类文明史上最不安全的国民。还有什么更好的字眼能用来描述我们被迫选择的生活方式呢?还有什么更为可悲地表明我们在这个令人困惑的新时代所感受到的惶恐之情呢?

我们不信任何人。郊区的家庭主妇在家庭旅行用车钥匙链上挂着防强暴口哨，我们在自我防卫方面变得如此聪明，最终全都聪明反被聪明误。我们或许是把邪恶锁在了门外；但在这么做的同时我们把自己锁在里边了。

那也许是我们将来回顾这一时代时记得最牢的精神遗产：在对付我们中间无形的恐惧之时，我们成了自己的囚徒。在我们这个问题重重的时代，所有的人都是囚徒。

第三单元安全问题课文B

在美国，许多人拥有手枪。有人为了自卫买枪．，如盖尔·巴卡尔特。另外一些人则拒绝这么做，比如她的许多朋友，因为他们认为，枪支引发的问题比解决的更多。以前盖尔与她的朋友们持有相同的观点，但后来她改变了看法。读一读她所要说的，并判定她的选择是否明智。

我为什么买枪盖尔·巴卡尔特

我在曼哈顿一个相当不错的社区长大。我的中上层阶级的社会背景从来与枪支无涉。我的父母要是觉得有威胁存在，他们就在门上再加把锁。

读高中时，我用一件开司米羊毛衫跟人换了个黑色的臂章。我参加人权游行，逃避民防演习，抗议越南战争。做个妙龄十八的少女，当名反战分子，真是轻松愉快。那时我还没有一个11岁的孩子要抚养。

(1)时至今日，我成了一个典型的被枪支制造商看中并视为其潜在买主的那位女人——成了成千上万个采取这种行动的人中一员。

一个万圣节的晚上，在我婚后移居的凤凰城，我开始怀疑自己的和平主义信条。一辆车与我的车差点迎头相撞时，我几乎都到家了。我以纽约城出租车司机的敏捷快速摇下车窗，高声咒骂那个开车的。他当即掉转车头，几乎撞上我的车后保险杠。这时，他和两个同伴从车窗伸出头来，嚷嚷着要强奸我，砍我，杀了我。

我开进了车道才想起丈夫不在家。这下我进退两难。那辆车尾随着跟了进来。我把车开到后门廊停下，冲进厨房，我家的那两条狗站在那儿等我。那三条汉子从汽车里一拥而出，进了院子。

我的心怦怦直跳。我抓起杰克和斯露西的颈圈，一条是200磅重的爱尔兰狼狗，另一条是它的伙伴，140磅重的北极犬。随后我一脚踢开后门——我吓坏了，变得暴躁好斗——我真的问那三个混蛋有没有种继续走过来。有狗相助，局势变得对我有利了，那三条汉子奔回可保安全的汽车里，嚷嚷着说明天来崩了我。总算幸运，他们没再露面。

几年后，我离了婚，带着3岁的儿子乔丹前往洛杉矶(那两条狗也死了)。几个星期后我送他去幼儿园，老师发现我是个单身母亲，马上提醒我，我刚搬入的居住区里有个强奸犯。我给警察局打了个电话，他们证实了这一情况。那个强奸犯没有什么特别的作案规律。有时他在受害者家里等候，有时他趁人入睡时潜入。当时正是夏天，可夜间我还是谨慎地锁住窗户，然后躺在床上，吓得浑身是汗。谢天谢地，那个强奸犯被逮住了，可那是在他又强暴了两名女子之后。不久，报纸上又报道起一个丧心病狂的恐怖人物的事来。此人名叫理查德·巴米里，人称“入室杀手”，被抓获前，一连几个月残害、杀死他人。(2)据称他的犯罪行为非常残忍，他加害于人的欲望非常强烈，这使我开始对自己在任何情况下不杀人的信念产生了怀疑。取人性命的念头令我憎恨，但想及成为他人受害者就更可怕了。我开始问自己，你怎么跟一个杀人犯或强奸犯谈论和平主义呢?

最后，我决定要自我防卫，哪怕这意味着杀死他人。(3)我意识到，自己曾经积极提倡的一厢情愿的和平主义会加害自身，更糟的是，会危害我的儿子。于是我极不情愿地认定：为了我们的生存，我必须确保又一个最佳选择方案。我的选择是：依靠警察，或拥有一支枪。我给不久前认识的一个人打电话，我记得他有好几支枪。他告诉我，他有一支史密斯一韦森0．38口径特种枪要出售，建议我买下，因为那支枪小巧好使，又有必要的威慑力。我买下了枪。在同一天，我弄到了6发包着塑料头、一撞击就崩碎的特别的子弹。这些子弹不是打靶练习用的，是防身用的。

花了大约50美元，我还买了个金属安全盒。如果知道正确的暗码，它的按钮式锁一碰就开，大概比伸手去床头柜抽屉取它只慢一两秒钟。我知道儿子乔丹拿不到它，但我拿得到。我把枪拿回家，乔丹兴奋得不得了。他不停地拿起来看，我紧张地瞧着。但我相信，

知识仍是我们最有力的防范手段。由于我主张对孩子进行性知识教育、艾滋病知识教育以及让孩子学会开车，我不能不赞成教儿子关于枪的知识。

随后，我携枪带着儿子去射击场。我给乔丹租了一支0．22口径的手枪。(0．38口径的手枪他摆弄不了。)10分钟后他放下了枪，我不禁松了口气——他不喜欢握枪的感觉。但他并不因此不来问我，如果我不在家时有人闯入+他能不能使用手枪。我大喝一声“不行!”，喊声响得把我们两人都吓得跳了起来。我解释说，要是真有人闯入，他人小，又灵活，完全可以跳窗逃命。

如今他对那支枪早没了兴趣。两人在我的卧室一起看电视时，我常常练习开启安全盒，乔丹替我计时。我已经快到只需要3秒钟了。我会问他，拿枪时第一件要做的事是什么，他像看傻瓜似的看着我，说：“要看看子弹是不是没上膛。不过我不会去碰它，也不会跟朋友们说的。”乔丹对枪已经厌倦了。

而我则盼着每个星期一——射击场的“女士专场”——我可以免费练习射击。我在柜台上

买一盒子弹、几个靶子，戴上护眼罩和护耳罩，穿过双层门，来到射击区。

到了那儿，我把子弹装上膛，看着枪管上的瞄准器调整瞄准方向。我对着25英尺开外的真人大小的靶子的胸部连发6弹。随着一发发子弹洞穿对面画着的图像，我意识到，自己正在习惯拥有枪支，拿枪时不再害怕了。枪的重量握在手里已觉得挺舒服。我坚守坚持练习的诺言。太多的人由于不知如何使用枪而死在自己的枪下。

我花了好多年才决定买枪，又花了好几个星期才学会把子弹装上膛。枪让我恶梦不断。一天夜晚，我梦见自己醒来，发现有人闯进屋子。我一把抓起枪，坐在床脚处等着。最后我看见他拐过墙角朝我走来。他很高大，把过道都堵住了——根本不可能击不中。我不想开枪，．但我知道生死在此一搏。(4)我手指扣住扳机，最后用力一扣，在亲手结束了侵入者生命的同时也庆幸自己没有成为牺牲品。就在我决定开枪时我醒了。我如释重负，不由得热泪流淌，幸亏这只是个梦。

我从来没有像在买枪一事上对某种行为的后果如此反复权衡——可是，我也从来没做过后果如此严重的事。?我的大多数朋友甚至不肯跟我谈论这事。他们认为，暴力只能导致暴力。他们或许是对的。

Unit 4 Was Einstein a Space Alien?

Content Questions （P.99）

He worked as a “Technical Expert, Third Class”. He needed the job to support his young family. H e published five of the most important papers in the history of science. This is because they prove d that atoms and molecules existed, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, describe the the ory of special relativity, and advanced the famous equation: E=mc2 He developed the Theory of Universal Gravitation then.

Because his ideas were far ahead of other scientists of his time.

He meant that like other scientists Einstein was a man of his time. If he hadn?t been born, his 190 5 papers would eventually have been written in some form by others.

What was remarkable about 1905 is that year a single person authored five of the most improtan

t papers in science. Einstein proposed in 1905 that light is particulate and for this he won the Nob el Prize in 1921.

Because if you did so you would find yourself disagreeing with phisicist James Clerk Maxwell, an Authority Figure who had proved that light was an electomagnetic wave.

He was not at all concerned about authority. He hated being told what was true.

Science was dinner-table conversation in the Einstein household when he was young. His interest in science came naturally.

He credited his discoveries to imagination and endless questioning more so that otthodox intellig ence.

He struggled to produce a unified field theory, combinging gravity with other forces of nature, bu t he failed.

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it “The World Ye ar of Physics”. It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein?s theory of relativity and the 50th annivers ary of his death.

Chinese Translations of Texts A&B 第五单元表达谢意课文A

亚历克斯·黑利二战时在海岸警卫队服役。出海在外，时逢一个倍感孤寂的日子——感恩节——他开始认真思考这一节日的意义，对许多美国人而言，这个节日已成为大吃大喝、没完没了地看橄榄球比赛的日子。黑利决定写三封不同寻常的信，以此来纪念感恩节的真正意义。

写三封感谢信亚历山大·黑利

那是在二战期间的1943年，我是个年轻的美国海岸警卫队队员。我们的船，美国军舰军市一号已出海多日。多数船舱装着成千上万箱罐装或风干的食品。其余的船舱装着不少五百磅重的炸弹，都小心翼翼地放在有软垫的架子上。我们的目的地是南太平洋图拉吉岛上一个规模很大的基地。

我是军市一号上的一个厨师，跟岸上的人…样，那个感恩节的上午，我们忙着在准备一道以烤火鸡为主的传统菜肴。

当厨师的都知道，要烹制一顿大餐，摆上桌，再刷洗、收拾干净，是件辛苦的事。不过，等到太阳快下山时，我们总算全都收拾停当了。

我想先去后甲板透透气。我信步走去，一边深深呼吸着空气，一边慢慢地踱着步，头上仍戴着那顶白色的厨师帽。

我开始思索起感恩节这个节日来，想着清教徒前辈移民、印第安人、·野火鸡、南瓜、玉米棒等等。

可我脑子里似乎还在搜索着别的什么一某种我能够赋予这一节日以个人意义的方式。大概过了半个小时左右我才意识到，问题的关键也许在于把Thanksgiving这个词前后颠倒一下——那样广来至少文字好懂了：Giving thanks。

表达谢意——就如在祈祷时感谢上帝那样，我暗想。对啊，是这样，当然是这样。可我脑子里仍一直盘桓着这事。

过了片刻，如同晨曦初现，一个更清晰的念头终于涌现脑际——要感谢他人，那些赐我多恩惠，我根本无以回报的人们。令我深感不安的实际情形是，我向来对他们所做的一之泰然，认为是理所应当。我一次也没想过要对他们中的任何一位真心诚意地说一句简单的谢谢。至少有七个人对我有过不同寻常、影响深远的帮助。令人万分难受的是，我意识到，他们中有一半已经谢世了——因此他们永远也无法接受我的谢意了。我越想越感至懂愧。最后我想到了仍然健在的三位，几分钟后，我就回到了自己的舱房。

我坐在摊着信纸的桌旁，回想着他们各自为我所做的一切，试图用真挚的文字表达我对他们的由衷的感激之情：父亲西蒙·A·黑利，阿肯色州派恩布拉大那所古老韵农业机械师范学院的教授；住在田纳西州小镇亨宁老家的外祖母辛西娅·帕尔默；以及我的初中校长，退休后住在亨宁以北6英里处的里普利的洛纽尔·纳尔逊牧师；

我的信是这样开头的广出海在外度过的这个感恩节，令我回想起您为我做了那么多事，但我却从来没有对您说过自己多么想感谢您——”我简短回忆了他们每位为我所做的具体事例。

例如，我父亲的最不同寻常之处在于，从我童年时代起，他就让我深深意识到要热爱书籍、热爱阅读。事实上，这一爱好渐渐变成一种家庭习惯，晚饭后大家围在餐桌旁互相考查近日所读的书以及新学的单词。我对书籍的热爱从未减弱，日后还引导我自己撰文著书。多少次，当我看到如今的孩子们如此沉迷于电子媒体时，我不由深感悲哀，他们很少，或者根本不了解书中所能发现的神奇世界。

我跟纳尔逊牧师提及他如何每天清晨和集合在一起的学生做祷告，以此开始小镇初中的一天。我告诉他，我后来所做的任何有意义的事，都至少部分地是受了他那些学校晨祷的影响。

在给外祖母的信中，我谈到了她用了种种方式教我讲真话，教我与人分享，教我宽恕、体谅他人。我感谢她多年来让我吃她烧的美味菜肴，离开她后我从来没吃过那么可口的菜肴。最后，我感谢她，因为她在我的生命中撒下美妙的遐想。

睡觉前，我这三封信都送进了船上的邮袋。我们抵达图拉吉岛后都寄了出去。

我们卸了货，又装了其它物品，随后我们按熟悉的常规，再次出海。一天又一天，一星期又一星期，我个人的经历渐渐淡忘。我们在海上航行时，有时会与邮船会合，邮船会带给我们家信，当然，这是我们视为最紧要的事情。

每当船上的喇叭响起广大伙听好!邮件点名!”200名左右的水手就会冲上甲板，围聚在那两个站在宝贵的鼓鼓囊囊的灰色邮袋旁的水手周围。两人轮流取出一把把信件，大声念出收信水手的名字；叫到的人一边从人群中挤出来，一边应道：“来了，来了!”

一次“邮件点名”带给了我外祖母、爸爸以及纳尔逊牧师的回信——我读了信，既震惊又深感卑微。

他们没有说他们原谅我以前不曾感谢他们，相反，他们却向我致谢，天哪；就因为我记得他们做的事，并认为他们做了不同寻常的事。

身为大学教授的爸爸向来特别留意不使用任何过于感情化的文字，因此，当他信中写道，在教了许许多多的年轻人之后，他现在认为自己最优秀的学生当中也包括自己的儿子时，我知道他是多么地感动。

纳尔逊牧师写道，他那平凡的老派校长的岁月随着学校里发生的如此迅猛的变化而告结束，他也怀着自我怀疑的心态退了休。“说我做得不对的远远多于说我做得对的，”他写道，接着又说我的信给他带来了令人振奋的信心：自己的校长生涯还是有其价值的。

一看到外祖母那熟悉的笔迹，我顿时回想起往日站在她的白色摇椅旁看她给亲戚写信的情景。外祖母一个字母一个字母地慢慢拼出一个词，接着再写下一个词，因此写满一页要花上几个小时。外祖母最近花费不少工夫对我表达了充满慈爱的谢意，读着老人家的信我禁不住流泪——从前是她给我换尿布的呀!

许多年后，我从海岸警卫队退役，试着靠写作为生，我一直不曾忘记那三封“感谢”信是如何使我认识到，大凡人都暗自期望着有更多的人对自己的努力表达谢意。

现在，感恩节又将来临，我自问，对此文的读者，对我们的祖国，事实上也是对全世界，我有什么祝愿，因为，用一位善良而且又有智慧的朋友的话来说，“我们究其实都是十分相像的凡人，有着相似的需求。”当然，我首先祝愿大家记住这一简单的常识：实现世界和平，这对我们自身的存亡至关重要。

此外我还有别的祝愿——这一祝愿是如此强烈，我将这句话印在我所有的信笺底部：“发现并褒扬各种美好的事物。”

课文B

谢谢——今天你要说的最重要的这两个字，能够改变你的生活，研究也证明如此。研究表明，有感恩意识的人会因此而过上更加充实、更有活力的生活。

感恩的力量

黛博拉·诺维尔

加州大学的心理学教授罗伯特·埃蒙斯博士，长期以来对感恩在身体健康和心理健康方面所

起的作用颇感兴趣。他与迈阿密大学的心理学教授迈克尔·麦卡洛夫一道选择了三组志愿者，并且随意指定他们每周关注三件事情中的一件：麻烦事，让他们心存感激的事以及日常琐事。第一组的人把注意力集中在每一件不称心的或者令他们恼怒的事情上，比如“那个该死的家伙在高速公路上突然将车开到我前面抢道。”第二组专门关注那些提升生活质量的事，比方说“我的男友善良体贴——有他真是幸运。”第三组回忆最近的日常生活中的事，诸如“我去买鞋了。”

结果是那些注意力集中于感恩的人明显感觉更加幸福，他们以积极的态度看待生活。他们鲜有诉说头疼感冒之类的身体不适症状，积极参加健康有益的活动。比起那些关注麻烦事的人们，他们每周差不多多运动一个半小时。知晓感恩的人单纯朴素，生活质量更高。

他们身边的人也察觉到了这一点。“他们注意到这群人更加快乐、更有活力。他们看得出来那些人正变得更加乐观。”埃蒙斯说道。懂得感恩的这组人“甚至似乎看上去更加乐于助人，会独立帮助他人。”对于这一结果，埃蒙斯大为惊讶。“感恩不仅仅是像积极思维或乐观之类事使人感到快乐。感恩真的使人付诸行动，使人变得更加亲近社会，更富同情心。”这种变化在另外两组人身上却不曾显现。

埃蒙斯和麦卡洛夫对他们发表于2003年的研究成果作了进一步的探讨。他们召集一批大学生每天——而非仅仅每周——关注生活中的烦恼或幸事。从一开始埃蒙斯和他的团队就意识到定期的感恩检查功效甚大。（1）后续的研究发现，那些每天都能找到感激之事的人较少追求物质享受——他们不大会把生活的满意度与物质财富联系起来。他们比别人更愿意放弃所拥有的财富。在他们的车的保险杠上不可能看到写着“谁拥有最多，谁就是赢家”之类的小标语。

那么，在生活中我们又该如何利用感恩这门科学呢？

（2）每天只需花几分钟工夫，感恩就是产生力量。但是它需要始终不渝、心胸开阔以及奉献精神。埃蒙斯说：“我认为感恩是一种要求极高的品质，一种苛严的品质。它是一种磨砺，一种训练。”它也许来之不易，但是可以培养。培养的方法如下：

记录你的谢意

每天花上片刻——一般最好是临睡之前——扼要记下三件当日发生的让你心存感激的事情。任何使你精神振奋的事，使你绽露笑容、心情愉悦的事，或为你的将来带来幸福感的事，都行。

对于每一件令你心怀感激的事情，写一写为什么它对你而言是件好事。也许你收到一个久未联系的老同学的电子邮件，它让你回想起你们一同度过的美好时光，让你意识到即便你不曾与他们联系，他们还惦念着你。这足以说明你是个不同寻常的人。

另外，记录下谁（如果有那么一个人的话）在你当天的回忆中是个有影响的人，以及那个人如何对你的生活产生了影响。这一切听起来都不难，是不是？如果让你在记录谢意和做五十个仰卧起坐外加二十五个俯卧撑之间做个选择，你会更倾向于拿起一支笔，是不是？

（3）感恩日记使你以积极而又具体的方式看待生活，提醒你关注在这个快节奏的、冷漠的世界里生活的相互联系，以及他人在多大程度上提升了你的生活质量。感恩日记促使你关注正面事物，而非不可避免的负面事物。此外，感恩日记还能增强你的自尊。

认清模式过一段时间，你会发现在令你感激的条目列表中有着某种一致性。许多条目显示他人在你生活中所起的重要作用。其他条目突出一些有意义的经历。还有一些则涉及你所引发的事情，你能满怀豪情地指着说，“我促成了此事。”这叫做由理性支配的积极生活所带来的幸福，即来自于行动本身，而非其结果的幸福或满足。随之而来的所有其他益处——如：某人感激你，你的项目获得成功——不过是种点缀而已。

接住回飞镖

感激之情，在向别人表示之后，几乎总能辗转返回。被感激的人更加愿意为那些使他们觉得自己有价值的人作出回报。一项研究表明，服务员把账单递给顾客前，在账单上简单地写上“谢谢”两字，比起那些不写的来说，平均多得11%的小费。在账单上写上即将推出的特价餐信息的服务员同样获得较高的小费，平均高出17%到20%。（4）在人际关系显得越来越少而且有时非常紧张的当今世界，感恩之情会激起回响。

抓住时机

环顾你的四周：在你的世界里哪些事是对的？如果你有什么爱好，你就付诸行动吧；如果没有，你就找一个吧。主动接触他人，与人分享你的东西。对别人做一个小小的姿态并不使你损失什么，却能给你带来诸多好处。所有这些行动都能增加你心怀感激的机会。北卡罗莱纳大学心理学家芭芭拉·费雷德里克森说：“感恩之心有可能使万物由其平常状态升华为一种礼物。”

在一幢三层砖楼的顶层，苏和约翰西辟了个画室。“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。她们一位来自缅因州+一位来自加利福尼亚。两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆，发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉，以及灯笼袖等方面趣味相投，于是就有了这个两入画室。

那是5月里的事。到了11月，一个医生称之为肺炎的阴森的隐形客闯入了这—它冰冷的手指东碰西触。约翰西也为其所害。她病倒了，躺在床上几乎一动不动，小窗望着隔壁砖房那单调沉闷的侧墙。

一天上午，忙碌的医生扬了扬灰白的浓眉，示意苏到过道上来。

“她只有一成希望，”他说。“那还得看她自己是不是想活下去。你这位女朋友已经下决心不想好了。她有什么心事吗?”

远与近 一个小镇坐落在铁路延绵而来的高地上，在小镇郊外，有一座白色板子搭建的整洁小屋，装饰有绿色的百叶窗。屋的一边是一个园子，被整齐地划分为一块一块，上面种着蔬菜，还有一个葡萄架，葡萄在8月晚些时候成熟了。在屋子前面有三棵大橡树，夏季橡树浓密整齐的树阴会遮住小屋。屋子另一边则是颜色明艳的鲜花丛。这整个地方，空气中都是整洁、朴素和适度的舒适。 每天下午两点过几分，两个城市间的特快列车就会通过这个地方。这时，这辆长长的列车，会为了留一个“呼吸空间”而在小镇附近停留一下，再平稳地起步前行，但这时它的速度还达不到马力全开时的速度。在引擎强有力的掣动下，列车从容地摇晃进入视野，重重的车厢压着铁轨，发出低沉的隆隆声，然后消失在尽头。在一段时间里，在草原的边缘，每隔一段距离，汽笛吼叫，喷出一圈圈浓烟，以此可以发现列车行进的痕迹。最后，什么都听不到了，除了车轮坚实的咯咯声拍子，在那个下午昏昏欲睡的时光中慢慢消失。 二十多年来，每天当列车接近小屋时，司机就会拉响汽笛。每天当听到这个信号，一个妇女就会从小屋后廊出来并向他挥手。起初她有一个孩子牵着她的裙子站在旁边，而现在这个孩子已经长大成熟了，也每天随着她的母亲一起来到后廊向他挥手。 司机长期供职，已经年老，鬓发灰白。他驾驶着他长长的列车，满载乘客上万次地通过这片土地。他自己的孩子们已经长大，结婚。并且曾经有四次他在他前面的铁轨上看到悲剧凝成的可怕小点，像颗炮弹似的射向火车头前的恐怖阴影——一辆辆满载孩子的轻型货车，上面一排惊慌的小脸；一辆廉价的汽车停留在铁轨上，上面被恐惧麻痹的人呆若木鸡；一个消瘦的流浪汉在铁轨上面游走，他过于耳背和年老，以至于无法听到汽笛声的警告。以及一个人影带着一声尖叫掠过他的窗口——所有的这些他都见得多了。他了解一个人所能了解的所有悲伤、欢乐、危险和辛劳。在忠诚的职业生涯中，他饱经风霜。而现在他虽已年老，却在所从事的工作中学习到了诚实、勇敢和谦逊这些品质，并拥有了司机们应有的崇高和智慧。 但无论他见识过多少危险和悲剧，那座小屋和那两个妇女以一种勇敢自由动机向他挥手的景象，已经印在了他的心里，作为美丽，不朽，万劫不变和始终如一的事物，纵使灾难、悲伤和过失可能打破他的生活铁律。 看到这座小屋和这两个妇女，他总能感到从未有过的非凡幸福。他在一千种光线明暗和一百种天气变化中见到过她们。通过冬天严峻而灰蒙蒙的光线，穿过地上褐色而被冰封的残梗，他见到过她们。在绿色的富有魅力魔法的四月，他见到过她们。 他感到对她们和这座小屋十分亲切，如同一个男人对他自己的孩子们一样。终于，她们生活的画面被深深地刻在了他的心里，他感觉他完全了解她们一天中每时每刻的生活。于是他决定有一天当自己退休的时候，他将去找到她们，最后和她们聊一聊，因为她们的生活已经和他自己的深深融为一体了。 这一天终于来到了。最后，司机在这两个妇女居住的小镇的车站下了车，走上月台。他在铁路上的职业生涯已经结束。他是公司一个拿养老金的人了，没有工作要去做。司机慢慢地走出车站，走入小镇的街道。一切对于他都十分陌生，就好像他从来没有见过这个小镇。他继续走着，心中越来越迷惑与不解。这真是他经过数以万次的小镇吗？这真的是他从列车的高窗里经常见到的房子吗？一切是那么陌生，不安，好像一座梦中的城市。随着不断向前走，他的内心愈发困惑起来。 现在房屋渐渐变为小镇边区散布的村落，大街也渐渐冷落成为一条乡村小路——两个妇女就住在其中一所村舍里。司机在闷热和尘埃中沉重地慢慢走着。最后他站在他要寻找的房屋前面。他马上知道他找到了正确的地方。他看到了屋子前高大的橡树、花坛、菜园和葡萄架，以及更远处那铁轨的闪光。

新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案 新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex.1 Understanding the text 1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules. 2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment. 3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, tho ugh in two different situations and with two different feelings.

Book One Unit One 10.Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基础) of modern Western philosophy. He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato, Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology(认识论) and logic，and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect(宗派). 译文： 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。
