研究生英语综合教程(下)Unit 1Reading focus愉悦舒适不能指引你领略人生的全部,与逆境的艰苦搏斗常常会使人生变得丰富而有意义。
幸福隐藏的另一面凯思琳•麦克高恩咫风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击,没人想找上这些事儿。
但出人意料的是,很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。
他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生,但因为它我变得更完美了。
”我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事,可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学的真理,这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中,人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会进发出来。
对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。
实际上,大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某些方面有了改善。
诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景,这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。
这一新兴领域已经证实了曾经被视为陈词滥调的一个真理:大难不死,意志弥坚。
创伤后压力绝不是唯一可能的结果。
在遭遇了即使最可怕的经历之后,也只有一小部分成年人会受到长期的心理折磨。
更常见的情况是,人们会恢复过来——甚至最终会成功发达。
那些经受住苦难打击的人是有关幸福悖论的生动例证:为了尽可能地过上最好的生活,我们所需要的不仅仅是愉悦的感受。
我们这个时代的人对幸福的追求已经缩小到只追求福气:一生没有烦恼,没有痛苦和困惑。
这种对幸福的平淡定义忽略了问题的主要方面——一种富有意义的生活所带来的那种丰富、完整的愉悦。
那就是幸福背后隐藏的那种本质——是我们在明智的男男女女身上所欣赏到并渴望在我们自己生活中培育的那种不可言喻的品质。
事实证明,一些遭受苦难最多的人——他们被迫全力应付他们未曾预料到的打击,并重新思考他们生活的意义——或许对那种深刻的、给人以强烈满足感的人生经历(哲学家们过去称之为对“美好生活”的探寻)最有发言权。

This fledgling field has already proved the truth of what once passed as bromide: What doesn't kill you can actually make you stronger. Post-traumatic stress is far from the only possible outcome. In the wake of even the most terrifying experiences, only a small proportion of adults become chronically troubled. More commonly, people rebound-or even eventually thrive.诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景,这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。

Unit2 Commercialization and Changes in Sportsmercialization has not had a dramatic effect on the format and goals of most sports. In spite of the influence of spectators, what has occurred historically is that sports have maintained their basic format. Innovations have been made within this framework, rather than completely dismantling the design of a game. For example, the commercialization of the Olympic Games has led to minor rule changes in certain events, but the basic structure of each Olympic sport has remained much the same as it was before the days of corporate endorsements and the sale of television rights. 商业化对于大多数体育运动的结构和目标没有太大的影响。

Unit 8Text AIII. Key to the exercises1. Reading comprehension(1) People’s frequent use of automobiles lead to the use of non-renewable fuels, a dramaticincrease in the rate of accidental death, social isolation and the disconnection of community, rise in obesity, the generation of air and noise pollution, the facilitation of urban sprawl and urban decay.(2) First, increased road-building exerts negative effects on the habitat for wildlife, primarilythrough habitat fragmentation and surface runoff alteration. Second, new roads built through sensitive habitats can cause the loss or degradation of ecosystems, and the materials required for roads come from large-scale rock quarrying and gravel extraction, which sometimes occurs in sensitive ecological areas. What’s more, road construction also alters the water table, increases surface runoff, and increases the risk of flooding. All these threaten the existence of wildlife.(3) Automobiles are a major source of air pollution and noise pollution. They contributegreatly to the global climate warming by emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.What’s more, the increased road-building exerts negative effects on wildlife habitat. (4) Automobiles brought about changes to urban society. First, streetcars, cable cars, and otherforms of light rail in the urban areas are replaced by coaches or buses. Second, it’s more dangerous for pedestrians to walk. Third, people have less contact with their neighbors and become more disconnected.(5) Until the advent of the automobile, factory workers lived either close to the factory or inhigh density communities farther away, connected to the factory by streetcar or rail. The automobile and the federal subsidies for roads and suburban development that supported car culture allowed people to live in low density communities far from the city center and integrated city neighborhoods. The outward growth of cities accelerated. The suburban society came.2.

In the current climate of international test competitions and increased student exchanges, science and science education teaching practices have come under closer scrutiny in the United States. The European style of teaching has been touted by some educators because of the ranking of European students on international tests. Based on comparative statistical data, however, I believe that the U. S. approach to science education is more efficient and appropriate than the European one.

1. Background of the Text
英国教育家A.S.Neill因不满传统教育模式,与妻 子共同创办了著名的Summerhill 学校。该学校重 在培养学生的创造力,独立自主的精神,个性的 发挥。The Summerhill School in Leiston, Suffolk was started in the 1920's as an experiment by Neill and his wife, ardent believers in the idea of inculcating(灌输) happiness as the main, if not the only purpose of education. It is a radical example of English education without the fear of autho rity and respectful children’s freedom, independence and creativity.
挑起一场学术争论最容易的法子莫过于提出这样一个问题:一个受过 教育的人应该知道些什么?哈佛大学上次应对这个问题是在1978年,在 那一年该校确立了它的核心课程。核心课程侧重于学生学会掌握思考的 方式而非单纯的知识内容。与哈佛在1945年出台的所谓“红皮书”标准 类似,核心课程在其他各主要院校引起了广泛共鸣。现在,哈佛正在重 新思考应该传授给学生什么以及如何教育学生。翻开新的一页的一个主 要目标,便是帮助学生把他们在课堂上所学的东西应用到实践中去。

A prolific writer, educator, and child psychologist, Neill founded, in Suffolk, England, the famous Summerhill School, an experimental school aimed at freeing the child’s creative imagination from the restrictions of conventional education.
