Part II Reading Comprehension(35minutes) Directions:There are4passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions21to25are based on the following passage.

I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were50years ago.While any of these statements might be true,they are practically impossible to prove scientifically.Still,I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the1950s.In fact,the analysis showed,normal children ages9to17exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness50years ago.

Why are America's kids so stressed?The report cites two main causes:increasing physical

isolation--brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community,among other things--and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.

Given that we can't turn the clock back,adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.

At the top of the list is nurturing(培育)a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island.Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.

To help kids build stronger connections with others,you can pull the plug on TVs and computers.Your family will thank you later.They will have more time for face-to-face relationships,and they will get more sleep.

Limit the amount of virtual(虚拟的)violence your children are exposed to.It's not just video games and movies;children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.

Keep your expectations for your children reasonable.Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.

Make exercise part of your daily routine.It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids.Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable.But it doesn't have to ruin your life.

21.The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are______.

A)surprising B)confusing C)illogical D)questionable

22.What does the author mean when he says,"we can't turn the clock back"(Line1,Para.3)?

A)It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.

B)The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.

C)Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.

D)It's impossible to forget the past.

23.According to an analysis,compared with normal children today,children treated as mentally ill

50years ago____.

A)were less isolated physically

B)were probably less self-centered

C)probably suffered less from anxiety

D)were considered less individualistic

24.The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is____.

A)to provide them with a safer environment

B)to lower their expectations for them

C)to get them more involved socially

D)to set a good model for them to follow

25.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A)Anxiety,though unavoidable,can be coped with.

B)Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.

C)Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.

D)Anxiety,if properly controlled,may help children become mature.

Passage Two

Questions26to30are based on the following passage.

It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside,the organizational constraints(约束)influence wage increases.One thing,however,is certain:your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it.Men tend to ask for more,and they get more,and this holds true with other resources,not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:

I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it.We had cubicle(小隔间)offices and window offices.I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues.One by one they were moved into window offices,while I remained in the cubicles,several males who were hired after me also went to offices.One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job.I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.

It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit,but"nice"isn't a quality attributed to most organizations.If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay,you'll probably have to ask for it.

Performance is your best bargaining chip(筹码)when you are seeking a raise.You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise.Timing is also a good bargaining chip.If you can give your boss something he or she needs(a new client or a sizable contract,for example)just before merit pay decisions are being made,you are more likely to get the raise you want.

Use information as a bargaining chip too.Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services?

Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.

26.According to the passage,before taking a job,a person should_____.

A)demonstrate his capability

B)give his boss a good impression

C)ask for as much money as he can

D)ask for the salary he hopes to get

27.What can be inferred from Beth's story?

A)Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.

B)If people want what they deserve,they have to ask for it.

C)People should not be content with what they have got.

D)People should be careful when negotiating for a job.

28.We can learn from the passage that____.

A)unfairness exists in salary increases

B)most people are overworked and underpaid

C)one should avoid overstating one's performance

D)most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises

29.To get a pay raise,a person should______.

A)advertise himself on the job market

B)persuade his boss to sign a long-term contract

C)try to get inside information about the organization

D)do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions

30.To be successful in negotiations,one must_____.

A)meet his boss at the appropriate time

B)arrive at the negotiation table punctually

C)be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction

D)be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes

Passage Three

Questions31to35are based on the following passage.

When families gather for Christmas dinner,some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation.Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver,and the dress code will be Sunday-best.

But in many other homes,this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware(粗陶) -and-stainless informality,with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look.For hosts and guests,the change means greater simplicity and comfort.For makers of fine china in Britain,it spells economic hard times.

Last week Royal Doulton,the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent,announced that it is eliminating1,000jobs--one-fifth of its total workforce.That brings to more than4,000the number of positions lost in18months in the pottery(陶瓷)region.Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.

Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing,the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts.A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company"has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend"toward casual dining. Families eat together less often,he explained,and more people eat alone,either because they are single or they eat in front of television;

Even dinner parties,if they happen at all,have gone casual.In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules,busy hosts insist,rightly,that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a"real"dinner party.Too often,the perfect moment never comes.Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth?Forget it.Polish the silver? Who has time?

Yet the loss of formality has its down side.The fine points of etiquette(礼节)that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ("Chew with your mouth closed.""Keep your elbows off the table.")must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.

31.The trend toward casual dining has resulted in_____.

A)bankruptcy of fine china manufacturers

B)shrinking of the pottery industry

C)restructuring of large enterprises

D)economic recession in Great Britain

32.Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?

A)Family members need more time to relax.

B)Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.

C)People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.

D)Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.

33.It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is_____.

A)a retailer of stainless steel tableware

B)a dealer in stoneware

C)a pottery chain store

D)a producer of fine china

34.The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is_____.

A)the increased value of the pound

B)the economic recession in Asia

C)the change in people's way of life

D)the fierce competition at home and abroad

35.Refined table manners,though less popular than before in current social life_____.

A)are still a must on certain occasions

B)axe bound to return sooner or later

C)are still being taught by parents at home

D)can help improve personal relationships

Passage Four

Questions36to40are based on the following passage.

Some houses are designed to be smart.Others have smart designs.An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.

Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina,the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane(飓风)Hugo10 years ago.In September1989,Hugo struck South Carolina,killing18people and damaging or destroying36,000homes in the state.

Before Hugo,many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed,and enforcement of building codes wasn't strict,according to architect Ray Huff,who created the cleverly-designed beach house.In Hugo's wake,all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter,better-enforced codes.The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category3hurricane with peak winds of179to209kilometers per hour.

At first sight,the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof.Its redwood shell makes it resemble"a large party lantern(灯笼)"at night,according to one observer.But looks can be deceiving.The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.

To further protect the house from hurricane damage,Huff raised it2.7meters off the ground on timber pilings--long,slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand.Pilings might appear insecure,but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house.They also elevate the house above storm surges.The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it."These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,"said Huff.

Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up,"said Huff.In the event of a storm surge,the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house,the architect explained.

36.After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo,new houses built along South Carolina's shore

line are required_____.

A)to be easily reinforced

B)to look smarter in design

C)to meet stricter building standards

D)to be designed in the shape of cubes

37.The award-winning beach house is quite strong because____.

A)it is strengthened by steel rods

B)it is made of redwood

C)it is in the shape of a shell

D)it is built with timber and concrete

38.Huff raised the house2.7meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to_____.

A)withstand peak winds of about200km/hr

B)anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand

C)break huge sea waves into smaller ones

D)prevent water from rushing into the house

39.The main function of the shell is______.

A)to strengthen the pilings of the house

B)to give the house a better appearance

C)to protect the wooden frame of the house

D)to slow down the speed of the swelling water

40.It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be____.

A)fancy-looking B)waterproof C)easily breakable D)extremely strong Part III Vocabulary(20minutes) Directions:There are30incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D).Choose the ONE answer that best completes the sentence.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Section B

Passage One

(12-A)Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other?

I certainly do.And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that.Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first,or never saying"thank you"when others hold a door open for them.We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple"thank you"doesn't really matter.But it can matter very much.

The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes,we

can't be truly elegant without good manners,because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand.In fact,(11-C)I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret.Haven't you noticed that the kindest,most generous people seem to keep getting prettier?It's funny how that happens.But it does.Take the long-lost art of saying"thank you".Like wearing a little makeup or making sure your hair is neat,getting into the habit of saying"thank you"can make you feel better about yourself.(13-B)Good manners add to your image,while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly.

11.What is the passage mainly about?

12.What does the speaker say about people of the past?

13.According to the speaker,how can we best improve our image?

Passage Two

"Go to the playground and have fun,"parents will often say to their kids.But they should remember playgrounds can be dangerous.Each year,about200,000children end up in hospital emergency rooms with playground injuries.Many injuries involve falls from too high equipment onto too hard surfaces.Nearly70%of the injuries happen on public playgrounds.(14-C)Recent studies show they may be badly designed,their protective services are inadequate and their equipment is poorly maintained.Parents should make sure that the equipment in the playground is safe and their children are playing https://www.sodocs.net/doc/5616667456.html,st year,the national program for playground safely gave the nation's playgrounds a grade of C for safety after visiting more than3,000playgrounds nationwide.(15-B)Parents should watch closely.They should always be within shouting and running distance of their children.Young children don't understand cause and effect,so they may run in front of moving swings.They're also better at climbing up than at getting down,so they may panic at the top of a ladder.It's important for the children to know you're watching them. (16-D)Once they feel that sense of security,that's when they can be creative.

14.What is the cause of playground injuries?

15.What should parents do to prevent playground injuries?

16.What does the speaker say about young children?

Passage Three

For25years,I was a full-time thief,specializing in picking pockets.Where I come from in southeast London,that's an honorable profession.(17-A)Anyone can break in a house and steal things,but picking somebody's pocket takes skill.My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London.We worked in hotel and theatre lobbies,airports,shopping centers and restaurants.Now we don't steal anymore,but this crime is worldwide.Here's how to protect yourself:

Professional pickpockets do not see victims,only handbags,jewels and money.Mothers with babies,the elderly,the disabled are all fair game.(18-C)My preferred target was the lone female,handbag at her side,the right side to be exact.So if I'm next to her,I can reach out cautiously with my right hand across my body.Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left.And I tended to steer clear of them.Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket as there isn't a blind side.If you want to make it even harder,

use a bag with handles rather than a strap.(19-A)For men,one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers.You'll feel any attempts to move it.Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket.There is just no way in.Even better,keep wallets attached to a chord or chain that is fastened to a belt.

A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off-guard.(20-B)The perfect setting is a clothing store.When customers wander among the racks,they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up.The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better.A full sense of security makes the pickpocket's job much simpler.

17.Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an honorable profession in

southeast London?

18.According to the speaker,who is most likely to become a victim of pickpockets?

19.In the speaker's opinion,what is the best place for a man to keep his wallet?

20.What is the perfect setting for picking pockets according to the speaker?

Unit 1 Personality 羞怯的痛苦 对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。如果你害羞，这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感：１．认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随着对自我的不断认同，羞怯感就会自然减弱。２．确定合理的目标。例如，在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起，你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力，仅和一两个人交谈，你会感到更自在些。３．内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情，（光）感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反，应该承认你犯了个错误，并决心在将来更加善解人意。４．所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。５．不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的，或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。６．接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如，如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术，要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心，你们还是好朋友，但你的烹饪技术也许确实有待改进。７．记住，每个人都会经历一些失败和挫折。要把它们作为增长见识的经历，从中受益。挫折往往会成为转机，随之而来的将是一段美妙绝伦的经历。例如，你可能被你所中意的大学拒之门外。然而，在你就读的大学里，你可能发现这里教育的某一特点比你料想的好得多。８．有些人会使你感到自己无能，不要和这种人交往。去设法改变他们对你的态度或者改变你对自己的态度，要不就脱离这种关系。伤害你的人并不关心你的最大利益。９．留出时间休息，享受自己的业余爱好，并且定期地重新审定自己的目标。为此所花费的时间有助于更好地了解你自己。１０．多在社交场合中锻炼。不要把自己同他人隔离开来。设法一次结识一位朋友；最终你将能够娴熟而自信地在众人中周旋。我们每个人都是独一无二、难能可贵的个体。我们自有吸引人的地方。我们对自己了解得越多，就越容易充分发挥自己的潜力。不要让羞怯成为阻碍我们拥有丰富和成功生活的绊脚石。 Unit3 Social Problems

大学英语Unit 1 课文翻译

学外语 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

大学英语精读1课文翻译 Unit1 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 interested in English"，而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"？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"learn the news or secret"，而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"？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。

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译 Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文A Never, ever give up! 永不言弃！ As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了，在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气，为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时，他应邀前往母校哈罗公学，为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说：“年轻的先生们，当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高，体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：“年轻人，要永不放弃。永不放弃！永不放弃！永不，永不，永不，永不！” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships,

大学英语精读课文翻译 Unit 1 How to Improve Your Study Habits 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，然后制定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。这张周作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题，但是它会使你比较清楚地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。此外，它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，但它应该是舒适的，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，你就能辨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课后少花力气。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

牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。 但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前，气温降到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃、堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样，在这种情形之下，坏人不得闲——贤德之人也歇不了。 我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。 开春后，有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆满一罐罐的腌渍食品，有番茄汁、葡萄汁、李子、果酱和果冻。最后，地窖里遍地是大堆大堆的土豆、葫芦、南瓜，谷仓里也储满了苹果和梨。真是太美妙了。 第二年我们种了更多的作物，差不多就靠着从自家树林砍伐的木柴以及仅仅100加仑的燃油过了冬。其时，我开始认真考虑起辞了职去从事自由撰稿的事来。时机选得实在太差。当时，两个大的女儿肖恩和埃米正在费用很高的常青藤学校上学，而我们只有几千美金的银行存款。但我们一再回到一个老问题上来：真的会有更好的时机吗?答案无疑是否定的。于是，带着老板的祝福，口袋里揣着作为累积津贴的半年薪水，我走了。

第一单元 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实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。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．不要以完全相同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 interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”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，然后在反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。

Unit 1-1 Catching crabs 1 In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence. 2 But there was something else. At the back of everyone's mind was what we would do next, when we left university in a few months' time. It wasn't always the high flyers with the top grades who knew what they were going to do. Quite often it was the quieter, less impressive students who had the next stages of their life mapped out. One had landed a job in his brother's advertising firm in Madison Avenue, another had got a script under provisional acceptance in Hollywood. The most ambitious student among us was going to work as a party activist at a local level. We all saw him ending up in the Senate or in Congress one day. But most people were either looking to continue their studies, or to make a living with a white-collar job in a bank, local government, or anything which would pay them enough to have a comfortable time in their 抓螃蟹 大学最后一年的秋天，我 们的心情变了。刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不 见了踪影，我们开始埋头学习，苦读到深夜，课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。我们都觉得在校时间不多了，以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了，所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。当然，下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一，那也太丢人了，因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。以前每天下午五点以后，图书馆就空无一人了，现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座，小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋，他们脸色苍白，睡眼惺忪，却很自豪，好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。 还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么 样的工作。并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么，常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几 个阶段的人生做好了规划。有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的 广告公司得到了一份工作，另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞 草签了合约。我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个 政党活动家，我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。但大多数同学不是准备继续深造，就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领，希望在20出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水，过上舒适的生
