UNIT TWO TWO TRUTHS TO LIVE BY

COMPREHENSION

1.According to Rabbi Alexander Schindler, we should hold fast to many gifts such

as beauty, love.

2.The author exploits the parable of open and closed hand in the very beginning of

the text to control the idea of the whole text. “Life is a paradox”, because it encourages us to grasp its many gifts although it predetermines their final disappearance.

3.The author tells the audience his experience in hospital to prove the fact that

people are indifferent to the grandeur of each day, and nobody sees the beauty of sunlight or responds to it.

4.According to the author, people are reluctant to accept losses and failures because

they think that the world is theirs to command especially when they are young. 5.Since all of us will perish in the end, we must seek a wider perspective, viewing

our lives as through windows that open on eternity, whereby to reconcile on life’s paradoxical demands. Though our lives are finite, our deeds on earth weave a timeless pattern.

6.Life is a process. During the process, we should hold fast to life, but not so fast

that we cannot let go; we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.

7.According to the author, we should pursue the ideal, for ideals alone invest life

with meaning and are of enduring worth.

8.Alexander Schindler encourages the students to exalt above their personal

considerations and to perfect the present world.

9.There is strong religious color in the text. Alexander Schindler asks us to hold fast

to God’s gifts, to be reverent before each dawning day, to view our lives as through windows that open on eternity, and to add religion to the humblest of edifices.

10.The author delivers this speech to the university students in order to teach them

how to cope with life’s paradoxical problems in a wise way, and what to pursue. VOCABULARY AND STRUCTURE

UNIT FOUR THE FUTURE OF BOOKS COMPREHENSION

1.Umberto Eco classifies memory into three types: organic memory represented by

human brain; mineral memory represented by clay tablets, obelisks and electronic memory of today’s computer; and vegetal memory represented by the first papyruses and books made of paper.

2.According to Umberto Eco, the libraries function as the places for conservation of

books and have been the most important way of keeping our collective wisdom. 3.“Universal brain” means a place where we can retrieve what we have forgotten

and what we still do not know.

4.According to paragraph 2, humans invent libraries because they know that they do

not have divine powers, but they try to do their best to imitate them.

5.In the computer and Internet era, libraries should not be abolished because they

should survive as museums conserving the past.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/936571690.html,pared with reading on a computer screen, reading printed books is the better

way for us to read carefully, to speculate and to reflect about what we are reading.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/936571690.html,pared with computers, books have brought a lot of conveniences to humans

computers can’t: books still represent the most economical, flexible way to transport information at a very low cost; books travel with you and at your speed;

it is a valuable instrument and the best companions for a shipwreck.

8.Two industrially exploited inventions are as follows: one is printing on demand,

namely, every book will be tailored according to the desires of the buyer; the other is the e-book which is useful for consulting information.

9.“The idea that a new technology abolishes a previous one is frequently too

simplistic.”What the author means is that there are a lot of new technological devices that have not made previous ones obsolete, that in the history of culture it has never been the case that something has simply killed something else. Rather, a new invention has always profoundly changed an older one.

10.In the computer and internet era, people fear the physical disappearance of books

and printed material;but printed books have a future because computers encourage the production of printed material.

Unit five Scientists, scholars, knaves and fools Comprehension

1(a). What relationship between science and the humanities can you learn from the first paragraph?

To some degree, science and the humanities have the same concern: The question raised by science is the most important that can be asked in philosophy and religion. In his book Consilience: The Unity of Knowledge,Wilson shows how various fields of inquiry, and especially the humanities and sciences, intersect with each other.

1(b). Do you think science and religion can be reconciled? (Open.)

2(a). What criteria does Author apply when distinguishing science from pseudoscience?

In para.2, the author mentions five diagnostic features as the criteria to distinguish science from pseudoscience: repeatability, economy, mensuration, heuristics and consilience.

2(b). Some label Acupuncture, Qigong, and Chinese Medicine as pseudoscience. Do you agree? Open.

3(a). What point does Author make in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5?

The author gives the topic sentence "The work of real science is hard and often for long intervals frustrating" at the beginning of para.4.

3(b). How does he backup his viewpoint?

In para.4, the author lists and analyses the reasons why it’s hard. In Para.5, the author develops the point by drawing on his own experience and quoting.

3(c). What example and quote does he use?

The example is from his own experience of counseling new Ph.D.'s in biology.

The quotation is from Percy Bridgman: "The scientific method is doing your damnedest, no holds barred."

4. Paragraph 6-8 discuss original discovery. How do these paragraphs relate to one another? Para.6 first introduces the topic sentence "Original discovery is everything" and then explains how the priority of making original discovery defines the process of scientific research.

Para7 and para.8 are about the importance of original discovery and they are related by two sentences of the same structure which introduce two opposite conditions and thus form a sharp contrast (make an important discovery, and ...; Fail to discover, and...).

5(a). According to Alfred North Whitehead, why do scientists learn what they need to know while remaining poorly informed about the rest of the world?

It’s because scientists are mainly concerned about making discovery. They have to concentrate on the part that is needed in the discovery while ignoring the rest.

5(b). What does the greeting question "What are you working on" reveal?

It reveals the fact that what they are doing are of the same nature (making discoveries) and scientists are quite aware what is common among them.

6(a). Will scientists content themselves with the discoveries they have made? Why?

No, they won't. Scientists who have already made some important discoveries are always

strongly motivated and they are ready to set new goals and make continuous efforts.

6(b). What's the difference between scientists and scholars in humanities?

According to Wilson, their research is of different nature: for scholars in the humanities the most valuable work is interpreting and explaining the existing factual knowledge while for scientists original discovery is everything.

7. Can scientists be defined as a social group with a set of beliefs, characters and motivations peculiar to them?

No, they can't. No particular beliefs, characters and motivations can be identified as the defining features. (See Para. 9-11)

8(a). In what sense is scientific research an art?

There is no limitation on how to make a discovery. Scientists enjoy the freedom of applying different thinking skills and styles just like an artist.

8(b). What scientists should do in order to be highly successful?

A scientist who wants to achieve great success should not be afraid of trying new research areas where no previous research can be referred to and he has to decide everything by himself in the exploration.

8(c). According to the author, what intelligence level does normal science require? Why?

The author mentions it as optimum intelligence: On the one hand he should have the adequate intelligence which allows him to do some basic scientific research; on the other, his intelligence level should not be above the one for normal science, otherwise, he would find the mediocre work intolerably boring.

9(a). What advice does the author give to the novice scientists?

The author gives a lot of advice in the last paragraph. It's mainly about how to do scientific research and how to make your work known to and accepted by other scientists.

9(b). Suppose you have the plan to pursue academic study, what difficulties do you think you would have? (Open.)

10. Paraphrase the following figurative sentences:

a. Science is the sword in the stone that humanity finally pulled.

Science is the tool that the human race finally possesses. It has great potentials and is believed to empower and benefit mankind.

b. They spread out like foragers on a picket line, each alone or in small groups probing a carefully chosen, narrow sector.

Similar to those who scatter around the rope along which horses are tied and begin to search widely for food or provisions, scientists, with particular research tasks in their minds, either working individually or cooperating with others, are desperate to make discoveries.

c. They are fellow prospectors pressing deeper into an abstracted world, content most of the time to pick up an occasional nugget but dreaming of the mother lode.

Like those who work together to search for minerals, they push themselves forward and explore deeply into their research areas. They feel satisfied whenever there is a clue to their research, but they would not stop moving forward until real breakthroughs are made.

d. Some are as stolid as tax accounts in April.

Just like the tax accounts taxpayers generally receive in April, some scientists are not very easily aroused or excited. They tend to act in a businesslike way.

e. To be highly successful the scientist must be confident enough to steer for blue water, abandoning sight of land for a while.

A scientist who wants to achieve great success should have trust in his own abilities and be keen on doing pioneering work which is full of risks and uncertainties, without any help from previous research.

UNIT SIX ANTHROPOLOGISTS ON THE FRONT LINES Reading comprehension

1. Some anthropologists were criticized for their involvement in military actions.

2. Because CIA wants them to collaborate w ith the U.S. government’s war on terror. The role social scientists play in the war is too early to assess though some reports show they succeeded in reducing attacks from the Taliban.

3. Montgomery McFate is a navy anthropologist. She is an advocate of the collaboration. Roberto Gonzalez is an associate professor of anthropology at San Jose State University and leading member of the Network of Concerned Anthropologists. He think in this kind of collaboration anthropology will become just another weapon.

4. “Subject” means a person who is subjected to experimental or other observational procedures; “fervent petitioning” refers to the earnest and formal request AAA received from some of its members to ban the involvement in the collaboration.

5. They find it difficult to be loyal to two communities.

6. Because civilian anthropologists have experienced ethical dilemmas, they would not fully cooperate in military actions. Washington needs social scientists trained in the agency’s own unique culture. But David Pr ice argues that social scientists thinking in an agency-like way would not be as helpful as civilian anthropologists.

7. First, it’s difficult to build a military education system to train experts in the social sciences. Second, it takes longer to train them when compared to training general officers.

8. The Administration did not take the experts’ advice very seriously.

1. It is a precise measure of the amount of disorder.

2. Things around her -- The car, the refrigerator, teeth, windows, baby sitter, hair, the

one-way street.

4. Examples in para.4

5. Water at the same level can not work no more, because the energy has defused and

driven away into chaotic caldron of randomness that can do us no possible good.

6. If couples do not patch small things up, they are doomed to fall apart;

relationships may worsen between nations once they lose opportunities to work out solutions to conflicts.

7. False. It is possible but not easy since creating order in one corner of the universe

always creates more disorders somewhere else.

8. The answer is open. (students are supposed to indicate the price of combating

entropy.)

9. Like anything else, abilities deteriorate when we stop applying our energies to

them.

10. Our world is becoming more complex; our efforts to keep it in order would be

much harder. Entropy is avoidable but which means consistent efforts. But not many people would consistently contribute their efforts.

课文A 译文

第一单元

标题有各种翻译,包括“物有所不足,智有所不明”,以及“饥渴求知,虚怀若愚”,或直译“保持饥饿,保持愚蠢”。(请各位同仁指正)

1 斯坦福是世界上最好的大学之一,今天能参加各位的毕业典礼,我备感荣幸。

我从来没有从大学毕业,说句实话,此时算是我离大学毕业最近的一刻。今天,我想告诉你们我生命中的三个故事。

2 第一个故事,是关于串起小小的点点。(原文为“connecting the dots”漂亮的

字体是用高级的算法把点连在一起的,如专于此的Adobe公司的PostScript 字体——译注)

3 我在里德大学呆了6个月就退学了,但之后仍作为旁听生混了18个月后才最

终离开。我为什么要退学呢?

4 17岁时,因为年幼无知,我选择了一所和斯坦福一样昂贵的大学,我的父母

都是工人阶级,他们倾其所有资助我的学业。在6 个月之后,我发现自己完全不知道这样念下去究竟有什么用。当时,我的人生漫无目标,也不知道大学对我能起到什么帮助,所以我决定退学。我相信车到山前必有路。当时作这个决定的时候非常害怕,但现在回头去看,这是我这一生所做出的最正确的决定之一。从我退学那一刻起,我就再也不用去上那些我毫无兴趣的必修课了,我开始旁听那些看来比较有意思的科目。

5 这件事情做起来一点都不浪漫。因为没有自己的宿舍,我只能睡在朋友房间

的地板上;可乐瓶的押金是5分钱,我把瓶子还回去好用押金买吃的;在每个周日的晚上,我都会步行7英里穿越市区,到Hare Krishna教堂去吃我一周里唯一的一顿大餐。那顿餐的味道美极了。我跟随好奇心和直觉所遇见的和做的事情,事后证明大多数都是极其珍贵的经验。我举一个例子:

6 那个时候,里德大学提供了全美国最好的字体学课程。整个校园的每一张海

报,每一个抽屉上的标签,都是漂亮的字体。我选择了一个字体学班,想学学如何能够做得到。在这个班上,我学习了各种衬线和无衬线字体,如何改

变不同字体组合之间的字间距,以及如何做出漂亮的版式。那是一种科学永远无法捕捉的充满美感、历史感和艺术感的微妙,我发现这太有意思了。

7 当时,我压根儿没想到这些知识会在我的生命中有什么实际运用价值;但是

10年之后,当我们的设计第一款Macintosh电脑的候,这些东西全派上了用场。我把它们全部设计进了Mac,这是第一台可以排出好看版式的电脑。如果当时我大学里没有旁听这门课程的话,Mac就不会提供各种字体和等间距字体。

8 当然我在念大学的那会儿,不可能有先见之明,把那些生命中的点点滴滴都

串起来;但10年之后再回头看,生命的轨迹变得非常清楚。所以,你要坚信,你现在所经历的将在你未来的生命中串联起来。你不得不相信某些东西,你的直觉,命运,生活,因缘际会……正是这种信仰让我不会失去希望,它让我的人生变得与众不同。

9 我的第二个故事是关于爱与失去。

10 我是幸运的,在年轻的时候就知道了自己爱做什么。在我20岁的时候,就和

沃兹在我父母的车库里开创了苹果电脑公司。我们勤奋工作,只用了10年的时间,苹果电脑就从车库里的两个小伙子扩展成拥有4000名员工,价值达到20亿美元的企业。而在此之前的一年,我们刚推出了我们最好的产品Macintosh电脑,当时我刚过而立之年。然后,我就被炒了鱿鱼。一个人怎么可以被他所创立的公司解雇呢?这么说吧,随着苹果的成长,我们请了一个原本以为很能干的家伙和我一起管理这家公司,在头一年左右,他干得还不错,但后来,我们对公司未来的前景出现了分歧,于是我们之间出现了矛盾。

由于公司的董事会站在他那一边,所以在我30岁的时候,就被踢出了局。我失去了一直贯穿在我整个成年生活的重心,打击是毁灭性的。

11 在头几个月,我真不知道要做些什么。我觉得我让企业界的前辈们失望了,

我失去了传到我手上的指挥棒。我成了人人皆知的失败者,我甚至想过逃离硅谷。但曙光渐渐出现,我还是喜欢我做过的事情。在苹果电脑发生的一切丝毫没有改变我,一个比特(bit)都没有。虽然被抛弃了,但我的热忱不改。

我决定重新开始。

12 我当时没有看出来,但事实证明,我被苹果开掉是我这一生所经历过的最棒

的事情。成功的沉重被凤凰涅槃的轻盈所代替,每件事情都不再那么确定,我以自由之躯进入了我整个生命当中最有创意的时期。

13 在接下来的5年里,我开创了一家叫做NeXT的公司,接着是一家名叫Pixar

的公司,并且结识了后来成为我妻子的曼妙女郎。Pixar制作了世界上第一部全电脑动画电影《玩具总动员》,现在这家公司是世界上最成功的动画制作公司之一。后来经历一系列的事件,苹果买下了NeXT,于是我又回到了苹果。

我和劳伦斯也拥有了美满的家庭。

14 我非常肯定,如果没有被苹果炒掉,这一切都不可能在我身上发生。对于病

人来说,良药总是苦口。生活有时候就像一块板砖拍向你的脑袋,但不要丧失信心。热爱我所从事的工作,是一直支持我不断前进的唯一理由。你得找出你的最爱,对工作如此,对爱人亦是如此。工作将占据你生命中相当大的一部分,从事你认为具有非凡意义的工作,方能给你带来真正的满足感。而从事一份伟大工作的唯一方法,就是去热爱这份工作。如果你到现在还没有找到这样一份工作,那么就继续找。不要安于现状。

15 我的第三个故事是关于死亡。

16 在17 岁的时候,我读过一句格言,好像是:“如果你把每一天都当成你生命

里的最后一天,你将在某一天发现原来一切皆在掌握之中。”这句话从我读到之日起,就对我产生了深远的影响。在过去的33年里,我每天早晨都对着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的末日,我还愿意做我今天本来应该做的事情吗?”当一连好多天答案都否定的时候,我就知道做出改变的时候到了。

17 提醒自己行将入土是我在面临人生中的重大抉择时,最为重要的工具。因为

所有的事情——外界的期望、所有的尊荣、对尴尬和失败的惧怕——在面对死亡的时候,都将烟消云散,只留下真正重要的东西。在我所知道的各种方法中,提醒自己即将死去是避免掉入畏惧失去这个陷阱的最好办法。人赤条条地来,赤条条地走,没有理由不听从你内心的呼唤。

18 大约一年前,我被诊断出癌症。在早晨7:30我做了一个检查,扫描结果清

楚地显示我的胰脏出现了一个肿瘤。医生告诉我,几乎可以确定这是一种不治之症,顶多还能活3至6个月。大夫建议我回家,把诸事安排妥当,这是医生对临终病人的标准用语。我整天都想着诊断结果。那天晚上做了一个切

片检查,我打了镇静剂,结果是一非常罕见的、可以通过手术治疗的胰脏癌。

我接受了手术,现在已经康复了。

19 这是我最接近死亡的一次,我希望在随后的几十年里,都不要有比这一次更

接近死亡的经历。在经历了这次与死神擦肩而过的经验之后,我能够更肯定地告诉你们死亡对我来说只是一个纯粹的理性概念。

20 没人想死。即使想去天堂的人,也是希望能活着进去。死亡是我们每个人的

人生终点站,没人能够成为例外。生命就是如此,因为死亡很可能是生命最好的造物,它是生命更迭的媒介,送走耋耄老者,给新生代让路。现在你们还是新生代,但不久的将来你们也将逐渐老去,被送出人生的舞台。

21 你们的时间有限,所以不要把时间浪费在别人的生活里。不要被条条框框束

缚。不要让他人的观点所发出的噪音淹没你内心的声音。最为重要的是,要有遵从你的内心和直觉的勇气,它们可能已知道你其实想成为一个什么样的人。其他事物都是次要的。

22 在我年轻的时候,有一本非常棒的杂志叫《全球目录》(The Whole Earth

Catalog),它被我们那一代人奉为圭臬。那是在60年代末期,个人电脑、桌面发排系统还没有出现,所以出版工具只有打字机、剪刀和宝丽来相机。这本杂志有点像印在纸上的Google,但那是在Google出现的35年前;它充满了理想色彩,内容都是些非常好用的工具和了不起的见解。

23 在《全球目录》快无疾而终的时候,他们出版了最后一期。在最后一期的封

底有一张清晨乡间公路的照片。在照片下面有一排字:Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.这是他们停刊的告别留言。我总是以此自诩。现在,在你们毕业开始新生活的时候,我把这句话送给你们。

24 Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

25 谢谢大家。

第二单元

生活的两条真理

抓紧,然后松手:理解这一悖论,你就站在智慧的大门口。

亚历山大?M?辛德勒

1 生活的艺术就是知道何时抓紧与何时放手。因为生活就是一条悖论:它迫使

我们牢牢抓住许多礼物,虽然注定到头来还是要放弃。古代的犹太大师曾经这样说过,“一个人握紧拳头来到这个世界,可是当他死的时候,手就松开了”。

开始我们抓紧,最终我们必须放弃。

2 当然我们应该抓住生活,因为生活是奇妙的,美从上帝创造的世界的每个小

孔中迸发出来。我们知道生活就是这样,可是往往回首往事时才认识到这条真理,当我们记起过去时,突然意识到往事不再。

3 我们记得逝去的美,消蚀的爱。可是我们更痛苦地记得,当美绽放时我们却

没有看到,也没有以爱回报我们得到的爱。

4 最近的一次经历再次教给我这个道理。严重的心脏病发作后,我被送到医院,

被精心地护理了几天。那不是一个令人愉快的地方。除了自己的疼痛和恐惧,噪音不绝于耳:医生和护士跑动的脚步声,痛苦的呻吟声和哭喊声,在那些天有两次出现了死亡的舞蹈和哮吼,然后是突然失去亲人的人们的哭泣。

5 一天早上,我必须做些附加检查,做检查的机器在医院尽头对面的一栋楼里,

因此我不得不躺到带轮子的小床上被推着穿过庭院。

6 当我们从我的住院单元出来时,阳光照到了我身上。我的体验就是这么回事。

只是阳光,然而它是多么美丽——多么温暖,多么闪耀,多么灿烂啊!

7 我看看是否还有其他人也珍视这金色的阳光,可是每个人都来去匆匆,多数

人的眼睛盯在地上。于是我记起我过去一直多么频繁地漠视每天的壮观,太关注琐事,有时乃至蝇头小事,而没有对每天的辉煌做出反应。

8 从那次经历中拾得的感悟就跟经历本身一样平凡无奇。生活的礼物是珍贵的

——可是我们对此太不以为意了。桑顿?威尔德在他的一部伟大作品,不朽的《我们的城镇》中道破这一要点。在剧中,一个年轻妇女生孩子时死掉,但允许返回尘世一天。她选择十六岁生日作为她想重温的日子。但是当她在熟悉的地方露面时,她发现每个人都太忙而不能欣赏那天的奇景。甚至连她的父母都没有注意到她,因此她要求回到属于她的地方。

9 难道这不是折磨我们的疾病吗?我们是盲目的,对世界无处不在之美大都视

而不见。我们漫步在无知的屏障中;我们践踏爱我们的那些人的感情;我们耗费时间,好像可以活上一百万年,总是任由一个接着一个以自我为中心的激情摆布。我们对我们的善多么不经意,直到太晚而来不及。就像鸟儿,只有当羽毛伸展在天空,美丽才得以张扬;我们的祝福只有飞翔时,才会让人高兴。

10 因而这就是生活对我们自相矛盾要求的一极:不要太忙而忽视生活中的奇观

和敬畏之事。每个黎明之前要心怀虔诚,拥抱每个小时,抓住金子般的分分秒秒。

11 抓住生活……可是不要抓得太紧而不能放手。这是生活这枚硬币的第二面,

生活悖论的对立面:我们必须接受损失,学会如何放弃。

12 这是不太容易学到的教训,特别当我们年轻,以为世界掌握在我们手中,无

论我们满怀激情、全力渴望什么,都能够,不,都将是我们的。但是后来生活推进,让我们面对现实,我们渐渐而确定地明白了第二条真理。

13 在生活的每个阶段,我们都得承受损失——并在这个过程中成长。只有我们

从子宫降临并失去它的庇护之后,才开始独立的生命。我们进入一系列学校,然后离开父母和童年的家。我们结婚、生孩子,然后不得不让他们离开我们。

我们面对父母与配偶的辞世。我们还得面临自身力量逐渐或迅速衰减。最后,就如松手和握紧的寓言所示:我们必须面对自身不可避免的死亡,可以说,失去我们自己,失去我们过去的或者梦想的一切。

14 在著名的犹太教哈西德教派大师班勒姆临死之际,他的夫人伤心地哭着,于

是他责备道:难道你不知道我们被赋予生命,只是为了让我们可以学会如何去死吗?在放弃的艺术上,生命是伟大的老师。注意到这条真理不仅仅公正合理。这就是智慧的大门。松手和握紧的寓言让我们面对生活悖反的要求:首先我们被命令去紧紧抓住生活,欣赏生活的每一件礼物。然后我们被要求学会如何放弃这些礼物。

15 但是,我们为什么要顺从于自相矛盾的要求呢?既然美丽一瞬即逝,为什么

还要制造美的东西?既然我们所爱的那些人最终要离我们而去,为什么我们还要用心去爱?

16 为了解决这个悖论,我们必须寻找更宽阔的视野,透过永恒的窗户看待生活。

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!

Unit 1 1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。 2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。 3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。 4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。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。 5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。 6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。 7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。 8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。 III. 1. rewarding 2. communicate 3. access 4. embarrassing 5. positive 6. commitment 7. virtual 8. benefits 9. minimum 10. opportunities IV. 1. up 2. into 3. from 4. with 5. to 6. up 7. of 8. in 9. for 10.with V. 1.G 2.B 3.E 4.I 5.H 6.K 7.M 8.O 9.F 10.C Sentence Structure VI. 1.

第一单元 U1 3/ 外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。 城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方,在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务,或者为了赶快买完东西,用肘来推搡他人。 白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙,这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。 在公共用餐场所,人们都等着别人尽快吃完,以便他们也能及时用餐, 你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽,人们推搡着在你身边过去。 你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。 不要觉得这是针对你个人的, 这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间,而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。 汉译英: 1.她连水都不愿意一口,更别提留下来吃饭了。 She wouldn't take a drink, much less could she stay for dinner. 2.他认为我在对他说谎,但实际上我讲的是真话。 He thought I was lying to him,whereas I was telling the truth. 3.这个星期你每天都迟到,对此你怎么解释? How do you account for the fact that you have been late every day this week? 4.他们利润增长的部分原因是采用了新的市场策略。 The increase in their profits is due partly to their new market strategy. 5.这样的措施很可能会带来工作效率的提高 Such measures are likely to result in the improvement of work efficiency. 6.我们已经在这个项目上投入了大量的时间和精力,所以我们只能继续。 We have already poured a lot of time and energy into the project, so we have to carry on. 英译汉: 1.I don?t think that he would commit robbery,much less would he commit violent robbery. 我认为他不会抢劫,更不用说暴力抢劫了 2.

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.
