Background information

The passage is taken from Everything That Happens to Me Is Good, a book of thoughts, experiences and

insights from the life of Geoff Thompson. The writer worked in many different jobs, including nine years

as a “bouncer” in a nightclub in London (a bouncer has the tough job of making sure that no one causes

trouble, eg if they are rude, drunk or violent). He then trained full-time in karate, judo and other martial arts

and became well-known as a martial arts instructor. He lived out his dream to become a writer,

over 30 books on self-defence and self-improvement and has recently been making films and writing for the

screen. Asked what he had learnt from his years in martial arts, he said, “The main thing I’ve learned is that

wherever there is discomfort there is growth, but what people do is to look for growth in areas of comfort –

and there’s no growth in comfort. So look for areas of growth that are uncomfortable but allow you to grow,

and learn to become comfortable in those areas.”

Language points

1 I have some good news and some bad news for you (as the joke goes). The bad news –and I’m very

sorry to be the bearer –is that we are all dying. It’s true. I’ve checked it out. (Para 1) Good news and bad news are often paired together in jokes and in comments on new information or recent

events where there is a mixture of positive and negative aspects, eg The good news is … But the bad

news is …

To check something out means to examine something or someone in order to be certain that everything is

correct, true, satisfactory or acceptable. Check this out! is an attention-getting exclamation which means

here’s somethi ng interesting to have a look at.

2 … we are all going to be either coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some local

cemetery. (Para 1)

Coffin is a long box in which a dead person is buried. The expression coffin dweller is a humorous way to

refer to dead people.

The expression trampled ash in the rose garden of some local cemetery refers jokingly to the ashes of a

dead person placed in a cemetery garden where people walk on the buried ashes.

3 After all, we never quite know when the hooded, scythe-carrying,

bringer-of-the-last-breath might

come-a-calling. (Para 1)

The expression the hooded, scythe-carrying, bringer-of-the-last breath refers to the reaper, a person who

reaps or cuts corn for the harvest and is a symbol of death from medieval times of the West. A reaper is

personified as a tall figure dressed in a black cloak with a hood covering his face and carrying

a cutting tool with a long curved metal blade used for cutting, or reaping long grass or corn. The reaper

brings death or brings your last breath. The expression when the reaper arrives means when death comes

to you.

4 … and nothing underlines the uncertainty and absolute frailty of humanity like the untimely exit of

a friend. (Para 1)

The word exit here means leaving this world or death. The word untimely means happening at a time that

is not suitable because it causes problems. An untimely death is too soon or when a person is young.

5 Knowing that we are all budding crypt-kickers takes away all the uncertainty of life. (Para 3)

That we are all budding crypt-kickers is a humorous way of saying that we are all potentially soon to be

buried, ie dead.

6 The prologue and epilogue are already typed in. All that’s left is the middle bit ... choose the meat of

the story. (Para 3)

A prologue is a piece of writing at the start of a book, or the beginning of a play, film or TV programme

that introduces a story. An epilogue is at the end of a novel, play or piece of writing, which carries an extra

comme nt or extra information about what happens after the main story. Here, the writer’s point is that the

prologue (birth) and epilogue (end, death) of your life are already written, but we all choose to write the

middle bit –the meat of the story.

7 So, all those plans that you have on the back burner, you know, the great things you’re going to do

with your life “when the time is right”? (Para 4)

A back burner is literally one of the back parts of a cooker which is used for heating or cooking food.

Metaphorically, if you put something on the back burner, it means you have decided not to do it until

later. It is at the back of the cooker, just simmering or cooking slowly, so you don’t give it priority because

it doesn’t need your full attention. The expression this back-burner stuff (Para 10) thus refers to things

which have low priority and get little attention.

8 There’s only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash. (Para 5)

A promissory note is a document giving details of your promise to pay someone a particular

money by a particular date. The writer means that tomorrow, or the future, is like a promissory note for

which you never get the cash, because the future never comes unless you act now and use time wisely, as

if tomorrow is today.

9 … but regret and a rear-view mirror full of “could haves”, “should haves” and “would haves”. (Para 5)

A rear-view mirror is a mirror fixed to the front window of a car that lets the driver see what is happening

behind. Here, the mirror refers to the past, which is behind us. We don’t want such a mirror full of regrets

about things we could / should / would have done, but did not do.

10 I love watching people ingeniously stack the cucumber around the side of the bowl –like they’re

filling a skip – and then cramming it so high that they have to hire a forklift truck to get it back to

the table … They just know that they only have one shot at it. (Para 6)

A skip is a large metal container used in the building industry for waste; it is carried away by a truck

when it is full.

A forklift truck is a vehicle that uses two long metal bars at the front for lifting and moving heavy objects.

The writer is using the images of a skip and a truck to emphasize how people use the opportunity to serve

themselves, because they only have one shot – they only have one chance or attempt, they can’t return for

more salad in this type of buffet, so they make the most of this opportunity.

11 So what I’m thinking is (and this is not molecular science) … (Para 10)

It means this is not specialized knowledge. It’s not rocket science; it’s simple and straightforward.

12 The right time is the cheque that’s permanently in the post, it never arrives. (Para 10) That the cheque is in the post means money has been sent, its on its way. This is often said as an excuse

for late payment, so if the cheque’s permanently in the post, it means the money never comes.

13 It’s the girl who keeps us standing at the corner of the Co-op looking like a

spanner … She’s stood

us up. (Para 10)

The expression looking like a spanner on the street corner means he looks awkward and out of place,

waiting for a girl who is late and never arrives.

To stand someone up means not to come to meet them when you have arranged to meet them,

someone with whom you are having or starting a romantic relationship. The word us is an informal and

personal way to include others who will recognize that this is a typical experience.

14 Act now or your time will elapse and you’ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative that no one can put

a name to in a dusty photo album. (Para 13)

The expression you’ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative means that in the end you will be only an

old half-forgotten photograph in a photo album. I can’t put a name to someone is said when you halfrecognize

a person but you can’t quite remember his name.

15 Better to leave a biography as thick as a whale omelette than an epitaph. (Para 14) An omelette is flat round food made by mixing eggs together and cooking them. The expression as thick

as a whale means extremely thick. The writer means it is better to leave a very large biography than an

epitaph, or, in other words, live a full life which is worth writing about.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time .

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 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，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 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，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗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。显然，如果不立即采取行动，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，因此需要匹配的血型。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匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，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。然后他们问孩子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，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。
