Teaching Procedure
Pre-task
1. Introduction to the Text
(1) The Purpose of College Education
Every September when new students first come to a university, they have a week or so of orientation preparing them for the years to come. In the sessions a series of talks and tours are organized to help freshmen to understand the purpose, rules and regulations of the universities, and to learn how to use the facilities, to plan their studies, to handle relationships and even how to budget for their expenses at college. The essay is originally a talk Professor Ciardi gave during such a session. What he tries to drive home is what students come to a university for. He points out that a university’s purpose is not only to give its students sufficient training for a career, but also to put them in touch with the best of what the human race has achieved — both the techniques and spiritual resources of mankind. This way, they will become specialists and civilized members of society as well. What Professor Ciardi said years ago is relevant to China’s institutions of higher learning.
The 21st century is often referred to as an age of information and of globalization. In this age, we need people who will be able not only to keep up with the latest advances in science and technology, but also to communicate with other people and other nations. Therefore college students are expected to develop in an all-around way to meet the needs of the new century. While at college, students should be avid readers and learners and arm themselves with the best of mankind’s tech niques and spiritual resources, and seize all opportunities to cultivate the spirit of teamwork, the ability to handle emergencies and to work under pressure.
When emphasizing the two-fold purpose of colleges and universities, the writer seems to think that technical training school s don’t have to expose their students to
profound ideas. We think that all schools, as well as colleges and universities, should aim at turning out useful and civilized members of society.
(2) Style
As it is originally a talk, the writer adopts a basically colloquial and familiar style. As you read, you feel as if the professor is talking to you face to face. To recreate the scene of his encounter with the tall boy in his office, he uses the direct speech. This way, the reader can imagine the ignorance and arrogance of the student. The sentence structure is generally not very complicated. But there are a few long and involved sentences in the second part of the text, for example, the last sentence in Paragraph 12. And the last paragraph consists of two very long ones.
The tone in the first part is humorous and mildly sarcastic. The pharmacy major is referred to as “a beanpole with hair on top”, “this specimen” and “this particular pest”.
2. Warm-up questions
(1) Do you agree the point of view that universities are only for job training? What
else should a student strive for in a university?
(2) How would you respond if your friend declares that he/she is only interested in
learning some job skill and therefore has no use for literature, philosophy, politics, history, art, music, etc.?
Task- cycle
1. Theme
The author tries to clarify the purpose of a university: to put the students in touch with the best civilization that human race has created.
2. Structure
Part 1 (Paras.1- 8):
The writer describes his encounter with one of his students.
Part 2 (Paras.9-14):
The author restates what he still believes to be the purpose of a university: putting its students in touch with the best civilizations the human race has created.
3. Detailed study of the text (In this part, students are asked to take part in various activities.)
(1) Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher.
Let me tell you something that happened when I first became a teacher. It was one of the exasperating experiences in the first days of my teaching career.
The word “disaster” often means “an unexpected event, such as a very bad accident, a flood or a fire that kills a lot of people or causes a lot or damage”. Here, used informally, it means “a complete failure”. The writer exaggerates the situation and uses the word humorously.
(2) …I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the
University of Kansas City.
…I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City.
be fresh out of/from sth. : to have just come from a particular place; to have just had a particular experience, e.g.
Students fresh from college
Athletes fresh from their success at the Ninth National Games
(3) News as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of
things.
Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what he could but did not say to the student.
Note that the writer now referred to the student as a specimen in a humorous way, meaning he was typical of those students who came to a university just to get training for a career, as if he were typical of a certain species of animal.
new to sth. : not yet familiar with sth. because you have only just started, arrived, etc.
(4) I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics
school, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science.
I could have told him that he was now not getting training for a job in a technical school but doing a B.S. at a university.
mean to do sth. : to intend to do sth.
reach for sth. : to try to obtain sth.
read Bachelor of Science: to have Bachelor of Science written on the certificate.
(5) It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy, but it would further
certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas making has generated within its history.
The B.S. certificate would be official proof that the holder had special knowledge of pharmacy, but it would also be proof that he/she had been exposed to some profound ideas of the past.
certify that … : to state officially, especially in writing that … , e.g.
This is to certify that Ms. Li Lin worked at the IBM Beijing Office from January 1998 to June 2000.
specialize in :to limit all or most of one’s study, business, etc. to a particular activity or subject, e.g.
Professor Zhang specializes in American drama.
My sister specializes in contract law.
At age 30, he started a company specializing in home computers.
generate: to produce or create sth. ,e.g.
They have a large body of young people who are capable of generating new ideas. This machine can generate electricity in case of a power failure.
(6) I could have told him all this, but it was fairly obvious he wasn’t going to be
around long enough for it to matter.
I didn’t actually say all this to him, because I didn’t think he would stay at college very long, so it wouldn’t be important whether or not he knew what university education was for.
be around: to be present in a place; to be available
matter (to sb.): to be important or have an important effect on sb. /sth. , e.g.
It doesn’t matter whether or not you agree. My mind is made up.
Does it matter if I write in pencil?
(7) Nevertheless, I was young and I had a high sense of duty and I tried to put it
this way…
Instead of telling him the importance of an all-round education, I tried to convince him from a very practical point of view.
(8) You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn’t
jump the fence, or that your client doesn’t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence.
You have to take responsibility for the work you do. If you’re a pharmacist, you should make sure that aspirin is not mixed with poisonous chemicals. As an engineer, you shouldn’t get things out of control. If you become a lawyer, you should make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you lack adequate legal knowledge and skill to defend your client.
be employed in doing sth. : (written) to spend your time doing sth. , e.g.
The old man’s days were employed in reading, writing, and doing Chinese boxing. The old lady was busily employed in knitting sweaters for her grandchildren.
see to it that: to make sure that, e.g.
Can you see to it that all the invitations are delivered today?
I’ll see to it that everything is ready before the guests arrive.
average out to: (informal) to come to an average or ordinary level or standard, especially after being higher or lower, e.g.
Meals at the university average out to about 10 yuan per day.
The restaurant’s monthly profits averaged out at 30% last year.
(9) Along with everything else, they will probably be what puts food on your
table, supports your wife, and rears your children.
In addition to all other things (such as satisfaction) these professions offer, they provide you with a living so that you can support a family-wife and children. (10) Will the children ever be exposed to a reasonably penetrating idea at home? Will your children ever hear you talk about something profound at home?
be exposed to (usually, a new idea or feeling): to be given experience of it, or introduced to it, e.g.
To learn more about the world we live in, we should be expose to different cultures.
Studying abroad, he was exposed to a new way of life.
(11) Will you be presiding over a family that maintains some contact with the great democratic intellect?
Will you be head of a family who brings up kids in a democratic spirit?
preside over: to be in charge or to control a meeting or an event, here used humorously
maintain contact with: to keep in touch with, here used figuratively
(12) Will there be a book in the house?
Will you be reading serious books (not just popular fiction)?
(13) Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at without
shuddering?
What kind of pictures will you put up in your house? Will you have a painting in your house that shows some taste?
(14)Me, I’m out to make money.
Be out do sth. /for sth. : to be trying to get or do sth. , e.g.
The company is out to break in to the European market.
Look out for such end-of-the-year sales. These shops are out to trick you into buying what you don’t need.
(15) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badly
stuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.”
Note the sarcastic tone of the writer. In spite of what he had said, the student didn’t seem to be convinced. What the writer means here is something like this: If you don’t have any goal in life apart from making money to satisfy your desire for material riches, go ahead and make a lot of it.
be stuck for sth : not to know what to do in a particular situation, e.g.
In the middle of the speech, he was stuck for words (= he didn’t know how to go on).
(16) If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for the
continuity of the fine arts, for that lesson of man’s development we call history-then you have no business being in college.
If you don’t want to improve your mind and broaden your horizon by studying a little literature, philosophy and the fine arts and history, you shouldn’t be studying here at college.
have no business doing sth. /have no business to do sth. : to have no right to do sth. , shouldn’t have been/be doing sth. , e.g.
You’ve no business telling me what to do.
He has no business criticizing her about her make-up.
(17) You are on your way to being that new species of mechanized savage, the
push-button Neanderthal.
You will soon become an uneducated, ignorant person who can only work machines and operate mechanical equipment (one who doesn’t know anything about literature, music, the fine arts, culture in general, etc.).
on the/one’s way to: on the point of experiencing or achieving, e.g.
She is on the way to becoming a full professor.
That bright young man is on his way to being the sales manager of the company. Nancy is well on her way to a nervous breakdown.
new species of mechanized savage:new type of humans who are intellectually simple and not developed and who can only work machines
the push-button Neanderthal:an uneducated, ignorant person who can only use/operate machines by pushing the buttons.
(18) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot
be said that they went to college; rather the college went through them-without making contact.
A number of such push-button savages get college degrees. We cannot help that. But even with their degrees, we can’t say that these people have received a proper college education. It is more accurate to say that they go through college without learning anything.
life forms: used sarcastically, meaning these people are living creatures, but can’t think or reason
go through (a person) (like a dose of salts):(of food, etc.) to be quickly excreted/to pass through the body as waste matter without being digested; here, used figuratively and sarcastically
(19) Not one gets to be a human being unaided.
No one can grow up to be a civilized person without the help of others.
get to be/to do sth.: to reach the point at which you are, feel, know, etc. sth. , e.g. Once you get to know her better, you’ll realize she is a compassionate person.
His absent-mindedness is getting to be a big problem.
(20) There is not time enough in a single lifetime to invent for oneself everything
one needs to know in order to be a civilized human.
To become a civilized person, you need to acquire the knowledge and develop the culture a civilized society needs. One lifetime is too short to create an environment for you to become civilized.
a single lifetime: the time during which a person is alive
a civilized human: a person who is pleasant, charming and without roughness of manner
(21) You pass the great stone halls of, say, M.I.T., and there cut into the stone are
the names of the scientists.
If you pass the great stone hall of a university, M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for example, you’ll see the names of the scientists cut into the stone.
(22) The chances are that few, if any, of you will leave your names to be cut into
those stones. Yet any of you who managed to stay awake through part of a high school course in physics, knows more about physics that did many of those great scholars of the past.
Only very few, if any at all, of you will turn out to be great scientists and have your names cut into those stones. But if you were attentive enough in your high school physics class, any of you knows more about physics that many of those scientists whose names are cut into the stones.
(the) chances are: it is likely
(23) You know more because they left you what they knew, because you can start
from what the past learned for you.
You know more about physics not because you’re more talented that those scholars of the past, but because they left their knowledge to you, and because everything you first learn is what people learnt in the past. In other words, all human knowledge has been accumulated by people living in the past and has been passed on to us. You learn all this before you do any original research, or any research of your own.
(24) And as this is true of the techniques of mankind, so it is true of mankind’s
spiritual resources.
This is the way we learn and develop the techniques of mankind. This is also how we inherit and advance mankind’s spiritual resources.
Be true of (a person or a situation) : to apply to, e.g.
It’s a wonderful opera. The music is superb. The same is true of the acting.
The young tend to look ahead while the old like to look back upon the past. This is true in all nations
(25) When you have read a book, you have added to your human experience. When you have read a book, you have enriched your life.
(26) Read Homer and your mind includes a piece of Homer’s mind.
When you read Homer’s works, you are sure to grasp some of his insights.
(27) Through books you can acquire at least fragments of the mind and experience of Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare-the list is endless.
Through reading their books, you can at least grasp a bit of the thinking and experience of such literary giants as Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare-there have been so many great thinkers and writers that it’s impossible to list them all here.
(28) For a great books is necessarily a gift; it offers you a life you have not the
time to live yourself, and it takes you into a world you have not the time to travel in literal time.
Because a great book is something given to us to enrich our lives. It presents to you a kind of life you don’t have a chance to experience yourself, and it describes for you places you don’t have time actually to visit.
In literal time: in reality
(29) A civilized mind is, in essence, one that contains many such lives and many such worlds.
Basically, a cultured and educated person should know about such great variety of lives and worlds.
In essence: basically, by nature, e.g.
Hs is in essence an outgoing person.
In essence they were asking for the impossible.
(29) The faculty, by its very existence, say implicitly: “We have been aided by
many people, and by many books, in our attempt to make ourselves some sort of storehouse of human experience.”
The existence of the faculty of the liberal arts college itself says in an implied way: “In our effort to make our faculty a place where our students can experience a variety of life they don’t have time to live themselves, we get a lot of help from many people and books, present and past…”
(30) “We are here to make available to you, as best we can, that expertise.”“Our role/job/task is to do our best provide such knowledge for you (to become both specialists and civilized humans).”
(be) here to do sth. : used to show your role in a situation, e.g.
We’re all here to help you.

大学英语精读第一册课文翻译全
Unit1 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies or Learning English 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说我对英语感兴趣是I'm 湩整敲瑳摥椠?湅汧獩屨，而说我精于法语则是???潧摯愠?牆湥档？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说获悉消息或秘密是汜慥湲琠敨渠睥?牯猠捥敲屴，而获悉某人的成功或到来却是汜慥湲漠?潳敭湯?环猠捵散獳漠?牡楲慶屬？这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。 4．抓住机会说。的确，在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多，但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如，跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读，因为这在任何时间，任何地方，不需要搭档就可以做到。例如，你可以看着图片18 / 1 或身边的物件，试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后，假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家，试着用英语把它表演出来。 5．广泛阅读。广泛阅读很重要，因为在我们的学习环境中，阅读是最重要、最可靠的语言输入来源。在选择阅读材料时，要找你认为有趣的、不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西。开始时每天读一页是个好办法。接下去，你就会发现你每天可以读更多页，而且能对付难度更高的材料。6．经常写。写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法。除了老师布置的作文，你还可以找到自己要写的理由。有个笔友可以提供很好的动力；与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流，你会学到很多东西。经常写作的其他方式还有记日记，写小故事或概述每天的新闻。 语言学习是一个积累的过程。从读和听中吸收尽量多的东西，然后再试着把学到的东西通过说和写加以运用，定会大有收益。 Unit2 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在六十五岁时开始了只身环球航行。本文记述的就是这一冒险故事。 Sailing Round the Word 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在独自驾船作环球航行之前，已有好几次让他的朋友们感到吃惊了。他曾试图作环球飞行，但没有成功。那是1931年。 好多年过去了。他放弃了飞行，开始航海。他领略到航海的巨大乐趣。奇切斯特在首届横渡大西洋单人航海比赛中夺魁时，已经五十八岁。他周游世界的宿愿重又被唤起，不过这一次他是要驾船环游。由于他患有肺癌，朋友们和医生们都认为他不该去，但奇切斯特决意实施自己的计划。

WRITING FOR MYSELF Russell Baker The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English course s. I found English grammar dull and difficult.

Unit1奔向更加光明的未来 1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺 将使你们学有所成。 2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。” “等一等 , ”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。” 在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。 3 让我来告诉你们, 一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你 们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过 去扎实的基础上的。 4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着 去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获 这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。 5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能 体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世 界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。 6 在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你 隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友 却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心，不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训，从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以，带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情，勇敢向前去拥抱这些新的体验吧！ 7 我们相信，你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信，当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时，你们很快就会认识到，大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会，同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过：“教育代代相传，它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者，也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识，并把知识传递给你们，而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识？你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好？你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来？ 8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会，也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们！

新编大学英语（第二版）第一册阅读文参考译文 Unit One 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。 5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

七夕，古今诗人惯咏星月与悲情。吾生虽晚，世态炎凉却已看透矣。情也成空，且作“挥手袖底风”罢。是夜，窗外风雨如晦，吾独坐陋室，听一曲《尘缘》，合成诗韵一首，觉放诸古今，亦独有风韵也。乃书于纸上。毕而卧。凄然入梦。乙酉年七月初七。 -----啸之记。 第一单元 想知道怎样提高你的成绩而又不必花太多的时间去学习吗？听上去是不是好得令人难以置信呢？那就读读看吧…… 怎样改进你的学习习惯 你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。你在学校的学习成绩还不错，可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。然而实际情况未必如此。你要是想取得更好的分数，也还是能做到的。是的，即使中等智力水平的学生，在不增加学习负担的情况下，也能成为优等生。其诀窍如下： 1.仔细安排你的时间。把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来，然后制订一张时间表或时间分配图。先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上，然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外的作业。当然，学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去。还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间，这一点很重要。这张作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题，但是它会使你比较清地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。 此外，这张表还能让你安排好各种活动，既有足够的时间工作，也有足够的时间娱乐。 2.寻找一个合适的地方学习。选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子，但它应该是合适的，而且不该有干扰。在你开始学习时，你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。
3.阅读之前先略读。这就是说，在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前，先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。在预习材料时，你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。随后在你正式开始阅读时，你就能辩认出不太重要的材料，并且可以略去某些章节不读。略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍，还有助于提高你的理解能力。 4.充分利用课堂上的时间。上课时注意听讲意味着以后少花力气。要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。 5.学习要有规律。课后要及早复习笔记。重温课堂上提到的要点，复习你仍然混淆不清的地方，阅读教科书上讲到这些内容的有关章节。如果你知道第二天老师要讲述的内容，那你就要把这部分材料先浏览一下。这样做有助于你听懂下一堂课。如果你定期复习笔记和课本，你就能更深刻地领会这些材料的内容，你的记忆也会保持得更长久。定期复习是提高考试成绩的有效途径。 6.树立正确的考试态度。考试的目的在于显示你掌握某一科目的程度。一次考试不及格，天是不会塌下来的。因此，不必为个别的一次考试而过分担心。不错，考试是要评定分数的，但考试也让你知道自己在哪方面还需要进一步下功夫钻研，另外，考试还有助于你进一步巩固所学到的新知识。还有另外一些能帮助你提高学习效果的方法，这里只提到寥寥几种。你尝试过这几种方法之后，或许还会发现许多别的方法。跟同学们一起聊聊他们的学习方法，让他们分享你所发现的某些行之有效的学习方法。改进学习习惯一定会提高你的学习成绩。 第二单元 65岁的弗朗西斯·奇切斯特打算单独进行一次环球航行，这就是那次冒险的故事。 环球航行 弗朗西斯·奇切斯特在独自驾船环球航行之前，已有好几次让他的朋友们感到吃惊了。他曾试图作环球飞行，但没有成功。那是在1931年。 好多年过去了，他放弃了飞行，开始航海。他领略到航海的巨大乐趣。奇切斯特在首届横渡大西洋单人航海比赛中夺魁时，已经58岁。他周游世界的宿
