UNIT 2 Remembering and Forgetting

In-Class Reading Special Delivery

特种快递

到了机场，我才发现我兄弟搭乘的航班延误了一个小时。通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。

当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。我这才意识到公文包没在身上。我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传送。我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，当代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，突然消失了。

“你看到你的包了？”代理问我。

“是的！”我大声说。“它刚穿过那边那个入口。这下我怎样才能把它取回来呢？”

“这不难，”代理回答说。“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们能够在装机前截住它。”

“可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。我是来接人的。”我平静了一下情绪，解释了事情的经过，并指出很可能有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其他行李一起办了托运并放到了传送带上。

代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一办法是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特征。等我填完表格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。

我兄弟的航班到了。我们取了他的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了他。到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。原以为已丢失的公文包其实根本就没有被带进机场！它一直躺在后座的地上。我意识到，此时此刻航空公司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐一检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。一想到要打电话告诉他们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。

我们进屋时电话铃正响着。接电话时，我惊呆了。电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我们有好消息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应该到这里。午夜后不久便

能送到你家。”

After-class Reading

遗忘的益处

我们在某个时候都曾希望拥有完美的记忆力，想要记住事情的每一个细节。我们会遗忘在学校和家里学到的很多东西，这太糟糕了。如果我们对过去的记忆既不准确又不完整，我们又怎么能够做出符合实际的自我评价呢？

然而，完美的记忆力并不总像人们想象的那么美好。有这样一个关于俄罗斯记者S 的故事。他只需看上几秒钟便能记住长串的数字、单词和许多页电话号码簿上的内容。甚至在多年以后，他仍能将这些长串的信息倒背如流。他还记得他第一次记这些材料时的情景。

S用各种各样的记忆“窍门”帮助自己记忆。其中的许多窍门涉及在大脑中形成图像。不过，你不必羡慕他，因为他有一个很严重的问题：不会遗忘。那些大脑中的图像老是浮现在他眼前，使他分心，无法

集中注意力。有时甚至连与人作简单的交谈都成问题，因为对方的话会让他想起其他东西。事实上，人们把他描述成一个迟钝的人。最终，S 无法胜任自己的工作，只好以“记忆专家”的身份游走于各个地方，向人们展示他的才能，以此来谋生。拥有这种记忆问题的人的例子还有很多。他们来自很多不同国家，说各种不同的语言。

或许你仍然认为拥有完美的记忆力是一件好事。那么，设想一下记住一切会是什么情形。每当你回忆过去时，你不但会记起你经历中的精华，还会记得毫无价值的琐事。记忆也许会花上你数小时，而不是片刻。你头脑中也许会一片混乱，使你无法把信息组织好。有了完美的记忆力，你也许会记住那些最好能忘记的东西。难道你真想记住每次愤怒的争吵，每个你所犯的错误，以及生命中每个痛苦的瞬间吗？“记住一切”会对你和家人、朋友的关系产生什么影响？成功地建立一种亲密关系是否有可能取决于一定程度的遗忘呢？或许只有把那些不愉快的记忆锁进记忆的角落里不再去想它们，才有可能自信和乐观呢？如果你记住这些，你就能理解为什么完美的记忆力不是我们该拥有的最佳记忆力。

就像牢记一样，某种程度的遗忘有助于我们的正常生活。那么，有益的遗忘和有害的遗忘之间的界线在哪里呢？如果你可以选择，你会选择清楚地记住哪些东西，又让哪些东西从你的记忆中消失呢？这是需要思考的问题。

Part One Preparation

1 Expressions Related to Memory

STEP ONE

I f a word, expression, etc. is on the tip of your tongue, you usually know it but have

difficulty remembering it at that moment.（就在嘴边的，差一点就能想起的）

W hen you say someone’s head is like a sieve or someone has a memory like a sieve, you mean that they forget things very easily.（记性坏，健忘）

I f your mind goes blank or has gone blank, you are suddenly not able to remember a fact

or piece of information at a time when you need it.（脑子一片空白）

I f a piece of information goes in one ear and out the other, it is heard but either ignored or

quickly forgotten.（一只耳朵进一只耳朵出，当作耳边风）

STEP TWO

1 B

2 D

3 A

4 C

2 Do You Have a Good Memory?

STEP TWO

Sample

I got 16 in this quiz. According to the results, I have a good memory. I can say I’m

extremely good at remembering facts and figures for exams, birthdays, telephone numbers, etc., but I have a poor memory for remembering things like what I had for dinner, what I was wearing, etc.

I think a person can remember what they need and want to remember. In other words,

one’s purpose and motivation make it possible for them to recall facts. They may find it difficult to remember facts about the geography of a country that doesn’t interest them, but can easily remember things about the country they’re going to visit. Why? Because they are motivated and this helps them to concentrate. Increased concentration, in turn, makes the information easier to remember.

T o sum up, one’s purpose dictates what to look for and remember, and therefore directs their attention to what they want to know.

STEP THREE

Sample

Yes, I once had a very embarrassing experience. One day, when I was walking on the street, I saw a young lady nodding and smiling at me and I began to wonder who she was. When she approached, she asked me about my college life in the past two weeks. Though I didn’t know whom I was talking to, I told her everything, including the fact that I could seldom see my advisor and had no one to turn to for help. An odd smile crossed her face and she looked a little bit embarrassed. Then she gave me a phone number along with her name. It

was then that I realized she was actually my advisor.

Well, I think all of us may feel embarrassed when we forget some important things such as a friend’s birthday or an appointment. I had such an experience about a year ago. One of my friends, Grace, invited me to her home the following Saturday, and I promised I would be there on time. When I arrived, I saw some of our classmates were there and each of them had brought a present for Grace. It turned out that that day was her birthday. I felt very embarrassed, but I thought I had to do something to cover up my embarrassment. So, I went up to her and said, “Gosh, Grace, you never seem to age, so I never remember your birthday.”

3 How to Remember Clearly?

STEP ONE

I n Speech Bubble 1, the man is forming a mental picture of the things he wants to

buy. I n Speech Bubble 2, the man is repeating the things he wants to buy.

I n Speech Bubble 3, the man is trying to remember his shopping list by inventing a story.

I n Speech Bubble 4, the man is forming meaningful connections between the things he wants to buy and the letters in the word “CANDY”.

STEP TWO

Sample

When I’m trying to memorize facts for exams, I always repeat them a number of times. The more I do this, the easier it is to remember. Even so, I think, repetition, by itself, is not enough. Sometimes, I will try other means to memorize what I am trying to remember. I will ask questions, think about the topic in relation to my own experience, or discuss issues with my classmates.

Sometimes I use the method of forming meaningful connections to remember English words. For example, when trying to remember whether I should use the word “principle” or “principal”, I tell myself that a principle is a rule and a principal is my pal and then I can use the appropriate word. Besides, I keep a diary to record my memories. When I go to new places, I buy souvenirs or take photographs to remind me of the places and people there. Sometimes songs help me remember things, too. For example, “Yesterday Once More” was my favorite song in high school. Now the song always brings back pleasant memories of my high school life.

Apart from the methods mentioned in the picture, I will use the method of “chunking” to memorize numbers. I find it’s a good way because chunking involves grouping materials together rather than learning each item separately. For example, when my friend told me his telephone number is 05718820××××, I grouped the 12 numbers into three chunks, “0571”,

“8820”, “××××”, it was far easier to remember.

Y esterday afternoon I was on duty at the check-in counter. A young man came to me and asked if his briefcase had been turned in. I said no. Then he looked over my shoulder at the conveyor belt and shouted that he saw his briefcase going through the opening at the end of the conveyor belt. I asked him to give me his baggage claim check, but he said he didn’t have one. He was just there to meet a flight. I then asked him to fill out a claim form and called down to the baggage area. Unfortunately, the briefcase had already been loaded on one of the flights and they didn’t know which one. So I took the young man’s phone number and assured him that we would call as soon as we found the briefcase. I promised that we would deliver it to his home address in Sioux City.

T he young man left. About two hours later, we learned that the briefcase was found in Denver.One of our workers called the young man to tell him the good news. To our great surprise, the young man said that he had already found his briefcase! It had been in his car! Now we had to look for the owner of the briefcase that we had thought to be the young man’s.

Unit 1 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

unit2课文翻译The Virtues of Growing Older

The Virtues of Growing Older （长大变老有好处） Our society worships youth. Advertisements convince us to buy Grecian Formula and Oil of Olay so we can hide the gray in our hair and smooth the lines on our face. Television shows feature attractive young stars with firm bodies, perfect complexions, and thick manes of hair. Middle-aged folks work out in gyms and jog down the street, trying to delay the effects of age. 我们所处的社会崇尚年轻。连篇累牍的广告劝我们买希腊配方的洗发水和玉兰油，这样的话，白发无处可寻，面部的皱纹也能被抚平。电视节目上尽是体魄强健，肤色无暇，头发浓密的年轻明星。而中年人则在体育馆里锻炼，在马路上慢跑，尽量不让岁月过早地留下痕迹。 Wouldn't any person over thirty gladly sign with the devil just to be young again? Isn't aging an experience to be dreaded? Perhaps it is unAmerican to say so, but I believe the answer is "No." Being young is often pleasant, but being older has distinct advantages. 不是所有三十出头的人都会为了重获青春而心甘情愿地与魔鬼订立合约吗？长大变老难道不可怕吗？说它不可怕可能不是美国人的回答，但我却认为长大变老不可怕。青春年少令人愉悦，但长大变老也有明显的好处。 When young, you are apt to be obsessed with your appearance. When my brother Dave and I were teens, we worked feverishly to perfect the bodies we had. Dave lifted weights, took megadoses of vitamins, and drank a half-dozen milk shakes a day in order to turn his wiry adolescent frame into some muscular ideal. And as a teenager, I dieted constantly. No matter what I weighed, though, I was never satisfied with the way I looked. My legs were too heavy, my shoulders too broad, my waist too big. When Dave and I were young, we begged and pleaded for the "right" clothes. If our parents didn't get them for us, we felt our world would fall apart. How could we go to school wearing loose-fitting blazers when everyone else would be wearing smartly tailored leather jackets? We could be considered freaks. I often wonder how my parents, and parents in general, manage to tolerate their children during the adolescent years. Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies. My rounded figure seems fine, and don't deny myself a slice of pecan pie if I feel in the mood. Dave still works out, but he has actually become fond of his tall, lanky frame. The two of us enjoy wearing fashionable clothes, but we are no longer slaves to style. And women, I'm embarrassed to admit, even more than men, have always seemed to be at the mercy of fashion. Now my clothes ---- and my brother's ---- are attractive yet easy to wear. We no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as we feel good about how we look, we are happy.

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel新编大学英语第二版第三册课文翻译

Unit 7 The Joy of Travel Transformative Travel Twenty-five years ago I felt like a wreck. Although I was just 23, my life already seemed over. The future appeared as much like a wasteland as the emptiness I could see while looking back to the past. I felt lost, without choices, without hope. I was stuck in a job I hated and trapped in an engagement with a woman I didn't love. At the time, both commitments seemed like a good idea, but I suppose it was the fantasy of being a successful, married businessman that appealed to me far more than the reality. I decided to take a class just for the entertainment value. It happened to be an introductory counseling course, one that involved personal sharing in the group. We were challenged to make commitments publicly about things we would like to change in our lives, and in a moment of pure impulsiveness, I declared that by the next class meeting I was going to quit my job and end my engagement. A few days later I found myself unemployed and unattached, excited by the freedom, yet terrified about what to do next. I needed some kind of transition from my old life to a new one, a sort of ritual that would help me to transform myself from one person into another. So I did something just as impulsive as my previous actions: I booked a trip for a week in Aruba. In spite of what others might have thought, I was not running away from something but to something. I wanted a clean break, and I knew I needed to get away from my usual environment and influences so as to think clearly about where I was headed. Once settled into my room on the little island of Aruba, I began my process of self-change. I really could have been anywhere as long as nobody could reach me by phone and I had the peace and quiet to think about what I wanted to do. I spent the mornings going for long walks on the beach, the afternoons sitting under my favorite tree, reading books and listening to tapes. Probably most important of all, I forced myself to get out of my room and go to meet people. Ordinarily shy, I now decided that I was someone who was perfectly capable of having a conversation with anyone I chose. Since nobody knew the "real" me, the way I had always been, I felt free to be completely different. It took me almost a year to pay off that trip, but I am convinced that my single week in Aruba was worth three years in therapy. That trip started a number of processes that helped me to transform myself. This is how I did it: I created a mindset that made me ready for change. I expected that big things were

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

Unit 9 Music In-Class Reading Music to Your Gear 参考译文 音乐与开车 安迪·埃利斯 1 尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。 2 音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐，会使司机过分放松，以至于丧失安全意识，陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。 3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。 4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来就会冲劲十足，这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。 5 在试验中，给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换档更快了，加速也快了，刹车更急了。若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认经常感到自己走神，他们在高速公路上长途开车时，至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。 6 这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题。十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会，“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。” 7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZ Top乐队最流行的曲子，他说，“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。” 8 还有些人说：“我陷入了深思”…… “人的感觉会变得麻木” …… “听不见别的汽车是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。” 9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利?费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。” 10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。” 11 然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特?韦斯特所指出的那样：“如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。

Unit 2 Friendship Text A All the Cabbie Had Was a Letter 摘要: 老朋友天各一方，你心有何感?你是否努力保持联系?有时候写信的事很容易会一拖再拖，总以为明天有的是时间。然而，正如这则故事所表明的，有时我们拖得太晚了。也许读一读这个故事会让你提起笔来。 出租车司机拥有的就剩一封信 福斯特?韩克洛 他准是完全沉浸在所读的东西里了，因为我不得不 敲挡风玻璃来引起他的注意。 他总算抬头看我了。“你出车吗?”我问道。他点点 头，当我坐进后座时，他抱歉地说：“对不起，我在读 一封信。”听上去他像是得了感冒什么的。 “我不着急，”我对他说。“你接着把信读完吧。” 他摇了摇头。“我已经读了好几遍了。我想我都能 背出来了。” “家书抵万金啊，”我说。“至少对我来说是这样，因为我老是在外旅行。”我估量他有六七十岁了，便猜测说：“是孩子还是孙子写宋的?” “不是家里人，”他回答说。“不过，”他接着说，“想起来，也可以算是一家人了。 埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了。实际上，过去我俩总是以‘老朋友’相称的——就是说，当我俩相见时。我这人就是不大会写东西。” “我看大家写信都不那么勤快，”我说。“我自己笔头就很懒。我看，你认识他挺久了吧?” “差不多认识了一辈子了。我俩小时候就一起玩，所以我俩的友谊确实很长了。” “一起上的学?”． “都一起上到高中呢。事实上，我俩从小学到高中都在一个班里。” “保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊，”我说。 “其实呢，”司机接着说，“近25到30年来，我跟他一年只见一两次面，因为我从原来住的老街坊搬了出来，联系自然就少了，虽说你一直放在心上。他在的时候可真是个大好人。” “你刚才说他‘在的时候’。你是说——?” 他点了点头。“前两个星期过世啦。” “真遗憾，”我说。“失去朋友真不是个滋味，失去个真正的老朋友更让人受不了。” 他开着车，没有接话儿。我们沉默了几分钟，可我知道他还在想着老埃德。他又开口时，与其说是跟我说话，还不如说是自言自语：“我真该一直保持联系。真的，”他重复道，“我真该—直保持联系。” “是明，”我表示赞同，“我们都该与老朋友保持更多的联系。不过总是有事情冒出来，好像就是抽不出空来。”
