Unit 1 你脑海中的声音 1你要是想找到只说说“耐克……想做就做”之类的话便可挣钱的职业（如果它也能算一种职业），大概你只能选择做一名配音艺术家了。
听起来这是最轻松的职业，其实做起来困难重重。
多数情况下，即使说这几个简单的词也需要大量经验的积累、认真的思考以及不懈的努力。
有时，为了确保目标观众能清楚地理解这些话的原意，需要花上好几个小时。
这是因为所有的交流，尤其是借助媒体的交流，很大程度上取决于你说话的方式（而不仅仅是说的内容）。
令人惊讶的是，声音在交流、甚至在可视媒体中，居然扮演着如此重要的角色。
在可视媒体，比如电视、电影中，导演和制片人有时甚至建议观众用耳朵看、用眼睛听。
让我举例说明。
想想电影“侏罗纪公园”，对，就是那部关于大恐龙的热门电影。
片中电脑制作的大恐龙如此逼真，以至于你不得不反复提醒自己，事实上它们不过是电脑制作的形象。
现在，试着想象看同样的恐龙画面，而没有配上令人胆战心惊的咆哮和尖叫声的效果。
如果有机会，你可以关掉声音，欣赏这部电影的一个片断，我敢保证它们一下子就会变成滑稽可笑的假东西—就像屏幕上的儿童玩具。
正是恐龙那沉重的脚步声告诉我们的大脑我们看到的是一个庞大、笨重的动物；当大翼龙俯冲下来想抓走男主人公时，正是它那大翅膀扇出的噢噢声让观众觉得它异常庞大。
没有声音，这些形象便是……枯燥的、乏味的；有了声音，它们一下子就变得活灵活现。
没有任何其他行业比电视广告界更关注声音的地位。
当我们看电视，特别是插播的商业广告时，会被经过仔细挑选的图像和声音狂轰滥炸一番。
这是因为有人想向我们推销某些东西—无论是冷饮、汽车或是去热带小岛的旅行。
当时我们也许意识不到，但在潜意识里，我们其实已经注意到并记住了广告所传递的信息。
当然，广告的效果，即广告中信息的“力量”，取决于很多因素，但为传递信息而选用的声音毫无疑问是最重要的因素之一。
随着世界日渐缩小，产品和服务日益全球化二非区域化，广告商们正面临着一个新的挑战：如何把原本为某一目标观众设计的广告信息传递给另外的观众。

Unit 1Text天才与工匠许多人羡慕作家们的精彩小说，但却很少有人知道作家们是如何辛勤笔耕才使一篇小说问世的。
以下的短文将讨论小说的酝酿过程，以及作家是如何将这小说雕琢成一件精致完美的艺术品。
1.有一次，我在暮色中来到小树林边一棵鲜花盛开的小桃树前。
我久久站在那里凝视着，直到最后一道光线消逝。
我看不到那树原先的模样，看不见曾穿透果核，能崩碎你的牙齿的力量，也看不到那使它与橡树和绿草相区别的原则。
显现在我面前的，是一种深邃而神秘的魅力。
2. 当读者读到一部杰出的小说时，他也会这样如痴如狂，欲将小说字字句句刻骨铭心，不提出任何问题。
3.但即使是个初学写作者也知道，除那将小说带到世上的文字之外，还有更多的构成小说生命的因素，小说的生命并不始于写作，而始于内心深处的构思。
4. 要创作出有独创性的作品，并不要求懂得创造的功能。
多少世纪以来的艺术、哲学及科学创造都出自人们的头脑，而创造者也许从未想到去关注创造的内在过程。
然而，在我看来，对创造工作一定程度的了解，至少会使我们通过知道两个事实，增长我们处理正在出现的故事的智慧。
5. 首先，天赋不是掌握了技艺的艺术家独有的特性，而是人脑的创造性功能。
不仅所有对技艺的掌握都含有天赋，而且每个人都具有天赋，无论他的天赋发展是何等不充分。
对技艺的掌握是天赋的显现，是经过培养的，发展了的和受过训练的天赋。
你的天赋在最原始的层面上起作用。
它的任务就是创造。
它是你的故事的创造者。
6. 第二，将你的小说带进世界的文字是艺术家的工作，它就和一个泥瓦匠的工作一样，有意识、谨慎而实实在在。
天赋正如理解力、记忆力和想象力一样是我们的精神禀赋中的天然部分，而技艺却不是。
它必须通过实践才能学到，并要通过实践才能掌握。
如果要使在我们内心深处浮现的故事跃然纸上，光彩照人，那么，每个故事都须有感染力极强的优雅文笔。

_ 但在下面的文章中，作者试图揭示事‘清的另一面，认为走读生的生活并不如人}l!}们想像 中的那般轻松。
走读生过着一种矛盾的生活，他去学校是为了能体会一种自我探}ll}索的生 活，而实际上与父母在一起是绝对无法保持“我独立的。
你也许认为我们这些人住在家中、 每天往返学校的日子很惬意。
不用等洗衣机，牙膏用完了橱拒里有新的，更重要的是，冰箱 里塞满了食物，也不用自己付款。
不仅如此，通常还有人付电话费，即使再晚，微波炉里也 还热着食物。
你会嗤之以弃—那不是大学生活，那只是永远长不大的孩子。
也许表面上看起 来我们像被惯坏了的孩子， 但事情远没有那么简单。
住在家里的大学生过着一种矛盾的生活。
跟你们一样，我们来到大学探索自我;自我探索和有机化学一样是我们所受教育的一部分。
然而，鉴于父母监督子女的本能不会减弱，我们要保持自我独立可就不容易了。
再者，家庭 的责任也在所难免。
比方说，当父母的结婚周年纪念日正好在我们期末考试的前一天，我们 该怎么办?事实上，做一个无法脱离家庭约束的学生简直与努力跟一个你不喜欢的室友相处 一样困难。
我们的问题很复杂。
在一定程度上，我们是这个社会的二等公民。
由于你不得不 开车回家或赶最后一班车， 你很难享受俱乐部、 大学生联谊会和舞会的乐趣。
同样不幸的是， 你意识到你不能参加仅有一次的商法复习课，因为它结束得太晚。
但这还不是问题的关健: 毕竟，每个人都可以随时在朋友的宿舍里借宿。
’真正的问题在于，我们错过了那些活动， 错过了由此产生的一种友好的情嗦，这种情嗦来自于一同突击恶补工业心理学的漫漫长夜， 来自于谁跟谁上了床的瞎扯闲铆， 来自于关于 “乔治· 威尔” “亲爱的艾比” 和 的热门话题， 以及在这之后彼此对于毕业临近的真切感受的交流。
大学英语阅读教程4,U4参考译文
第四单元翻译地球村——乌托邦重现？不是在乌托邦，不是在隐蔽的田野，也不是在那些神秘的小岛上，天知道在哪！William Wordsworth 希腊人告诉我们在太阳下没有什么是新的,我们只认为我们的想法和梦想是新的。
柏拉图就深谙这么一个梦想，即乌托邦。
乌托邦这个词衍生于两个希腊词语ou 和topos，它意味着“无处”。
但是它贯穿整个历史，并且今天它有一个诱人的头衔：地球村。
在我们知道世界的形状是球体很久以前，人类一统的想法活跃在农村、城市、地区或帝国内。
有时这种想法似乎是可实现的：在罗马帝国占领了当时世界的大部分领土，其他大国都追随罗马帝国时。
不仅是军人和政治家还有宗教和文化人士都支持吸引人的乌托邦。
在19世纪大英帝国日不落时代，乌托邦梦想很受欢迎。
在我们这个世纪，以前的英国殖民地、美国，继承并推广了以电子技术和网络空间为基础的乌托邦。
每个地方的人们都祈祷“我们都可能是一个心，一个灵魂，一种思想的人”。
高尚的祈祷者从没被回答过，它也从没消失过。
乌托邦梦想是一个长期存在，不断变化但总是躲避我们的事物。
被破坏过的城市，纪念碑，还有成堆的粗石瓦砾，是历史留给我们的遗物。
诗人还有历史学家知道这些。
英国诗人雪莱曾这样描述那两个镌刻着铭文孤零零地立在无垠的沙漠之中巨大的石碑：我的名字是守望者，王中之王：仔细看我的杰作，没错就是权力，还有绝望！强者沉浮。
公元前334年，亚历山大大帝东征亚洲，在短短的11年中他征服了世界上大多数的文明。
亚历山大大帝受教于亚里士多德，亚里士多德的老师就是柏拉图。
而柏拉图，一个写了《理想国》的智者，创造了乌托邦。
普林尼，塔西佗和其他不可计数的学者在过去的几个世纪里不断对乌托邦进行演绎发展。
宗教领导者曾改变“乌托邦”这一提法以适应他们的宗教理想和信义。
在公元4世纪，君士坦丁大帝统治下的罗马帝国正式批准以基督教为国教，建立罗马天主教教会制度，以此统治西方世界，号称神圣罗马帝国。
其他宗教，例如以被上帝所选的人为教义的犹太教、伊斯兰教及它的穆罕默德和真主阿拉，都有他们自己的乌托邦。

Looking good by doing good[Jan 15th 2009]Economics focusLooking good by doing goodJan 15th 2009From The Economist print editionRewarding people for their generosity may be counterproductiveIllustration by Jac Depczyk A LARGE plaque in the foyer of Boston’s Institute for Contemporary Art (ICA), a museum housed in a dramatic glass and metal building on the harbour’s edge, identifies its most generous patron s. Visitors who stop to look will notice that some donors—including two who gave the ICA over $2.5m—have chosen not to reveal their names. Such reticence is unusual: less than 1% of private gifts to charity are anonymous. Most people (including the vast majority of the ICA’s patrons) want their good deeds to be talked about. In “Richistan”, a book on America’s new rich, Robert Frank writes of the several society publications in Florida’s Palm Beach which exist largely to publicise the charity of its well-heeled residents (at least before Bernard Madoff’s alleged Ponzi scheme left some of them with little left to give).As it turns out, the distinction between private and public generosity is helpful in understanding what motivates people to give money to charities or donate blood, acts which are costly to the doer and primarily benefit others. Such actions are widespread, and growing. The $306 billion that Americans gave to charity in 2007 was more than triple the amount donated in 1965. And though a big chunk of this comes from plutocrat s like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, whose philanthropy has attracted much attention, modest earners also give generously of their time and money. A 2001 survey found that 89% of American households gave to charity, and that 44% of adults volunteered the equivalent of 9m full-time jobs. Tax break s explain some of the kindness of strangers. But by no means all.Economists, who tend to think self-interest governs most actions of man, are intrigue d, and have identified several reasons to explain good deeds of this kind. Tax breaks are, ofcourse, one of the main ones, but donors are also sometimes paid directly for their pains, and the mere thought of a thank-you letter can be enough to persuade others to cough up. Some even act out of sheer altruism. But most interesting is another explanation, which is that people do good in part because it makes them look good to those whose opinions they care about. Economists call this “image motivation”.Dan Ariely of Duke University, Anat Bracha of Tel Aviv University, and Stephan Meier of Columbia University sought, through experiments, to test the importance of image motivation, as well as to gain insights into how different motivating factors interact. Their results, which they report in a new paper*, suggest that image motivation matters a lot, at least in the laboratory. Even more intriguingly, they find evidence that monetary incentives can actually reduce charitable giving when people are driven in part by a desire to look good in others’ eyes.The crucial thing about charity as a means of image building is, of course, that it can work only if others know about it and think positively of the charity in question. So, the academics argue, people should give more when their actions are public.To test this, they conducted an experiment where the number of times participants clicked an awkward combination of computer keys determined how much money was donated on their behalf to the American Red Cross. Since 92% of participants thought highly of the Red Cross, giving to it could reasonably be assumed to make people look good to their peers. People were randomly assigned to either a private group, where only the participant knew the amount of the donation, or a public group, where the participant had to stand up at the end of the session and share this information with the group. Consistent with the hypothesis that image mattered, participants exerted much greater effort in the public case: the average number of clicks, at 900, was nearly double the average of 517 clicks in the private case.However, the academics wanted to go a step further. In this, they were influenced by the theoretical model of two economists, Roland Benabou, of Princeton University, and Jean Tirole, of Toulouse University’s Institut d’Economie Industrielle, who formalised the idea that if people do good to look good, introducing monetary or other rewards into the mix might complicate matters. An observer who sees someone getting paid for donating blood, for example, would find it hard to differentiate between the donor’s intrinsic “goodness” and his greed.Blood moneyThe idea that monetary incentives could be counterproductive has been around at least since 1970, when Richard Titmuss, a British social scientist, hypothesised that paying people to donate blood would reduce the amount of blood that they gave. But Mr Ariely and his colleagues demonstrate a mechanism through which such confound ing effects could operate. They presumed that the addition of a monetary incentive should have much less of an impact in public (where it muddle s the image signal of an action) than in private (where the image is not important). By adding a monetary reward for participants to theirexperiment, the academics were able to confirm their hypothesis. In private, being paid to click increased effort from 548 clicks to 740, but in public, there was next to no effect. The trio also raise the possibility that cleverly designed rewards could actually draw out more generosity by exploiting image motivation. Suppose, for example, that rewards were used to encourage people to support a certain cause with a minimum donation. If that cause then publicised those who were generous well beyond the minimum required of them, it would show that they were not just “in it for the money”. Behavioural economics may yet provide charities with some creative new fund-raising techniques.寻找好行善[ 2009年1月15日]经济焦点寻找好行善2009年1月15日来自经济学人印刷版回报人民的慷慨可能会适得其反插图由江淮Depczyk在波士顿当代艺术学院（ICA ），装在一个巨大的玻璃和金属建筑海港的边缘博物馆大厅一个大匾，确定其最慷慨的赞助人。

Unit1Advertising:A Holiday of a Lifetime终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处，无论我们在做什么，我们身边都包绕着广告。
有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息，哪儿物美价廉。
制造商利用广告来推销产品，不然生意将会做不成。
其实，曾经有人说过：“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。
”然而，现在的广告是否太泛滥了？可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违，因为大量的广告是误导人的。
我们大多对广告视而不见。
或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛：“广告是合法化了的谎言。
”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子，我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。
我查找旅游指南，并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。
广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。
