Lesson Eight The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I cameupon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto.2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on thekindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?4. The idea intrigued me.5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to theAtlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a signdisplaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America."7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning meabout someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed intheir Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them forstopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on thegrass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore."10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people boughtme food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touchingwas the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.12. One day I walked into the chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tenn. to find out about camping in the area. The executivedirector, Baxter Wilson, 59, handed me a brochure for a local campground. Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, "No, that's all right. I'll try something else." Then he saw my backpack. "Most people around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that's what you want," he said. Now we're talking, I thought. "Any particular direction?" I asked. "Tell you what. I've got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you're here at 5:30, you can ride with me."13. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he'd invited me to spend the night in hishome. His wife, Carol, a seventh-grade science teacher, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. Baxter explained that local folks were "mountain stay-at-home people" who rarely entertained in their house. "When we do," he said, "it's usually kin." This revelation made my night there all the more special.14. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I'd come to their school and talk to her class about my trip. Iagreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. The kids were attentive and kept asking all kinds of questions: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did you have? Did anybody try to run you over? Did you fall in love with someone? What were you most afraid of?15. Although I hadn't planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told thestudents how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help. I told them that the question I had had in mind when I planned this journey was now clearly answered.In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.第八课陌生人的仁慈1一个夏天，我正驱车从我的家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍湖市前往新奥尔良。

2014101018第九单元Translation of Text A二十年后1正在巡逻的警察精神抖擞的沿着大街走着。
他这样引人注目并不奇怪，并不是为了招摇，因为此时大街上根本没有什么观众。
时间还不到晚上十点钟，但夹带着雨意的冷风几乎清空了整个街道。
2警察边走边检查门是否关好了，他十分灵巧的不停转动着警棍，眼光还不时头像平静的街道，他那魁梧的身材，配上卓越不凡的气势，就是一副治安维持者的形象。
那个地区的人晚上休息的很早。
你偶尔还能看到一家雪茄店或是昼夜营业的饭店还在亮着灯，但是觉得大多数的店铺都已经关门了。
3在一个街区的半路上，警察忽然放慢了脚步。
在一家已经关门的五金店的门廊里，一个男子倚在那里，嘴里叼着一只未点燃的雪茄。
当警察朝他走去时，男人赶忙毫不犹豫的说。
4“没事的，长官。
”他坦然的说。
“我只是在等一个朋友，这是二十年前就定好的约会，听起来有点荒唐。
是吧？哦，如果你想弄明白事情的真相，我就说个你听。
大约二十年前，在这家五金商店说在的位置曾经是一家餐馆——“大乔”布雷迪餐馆。
”5“那家餐馆五年前还在，”警察说道，“后来就被拆除了。
”6门廊里的人划着火柴，点着了烟。
火光映出了一张苍白的，方正下巴的脸，一双尖锐的眼睛，右边眉毛附近还有一道泛白的疤痕。
他的领带夹上镶着一颗大钻石，镶的十分奇怪。
7“二十年前的这个晚上，”男子说，“我和吉米-威尔斯在大乔布雷迪餐馆共进晚餐，他是我最好的朋友，也是世界上最好的人。
我和他一起在纽约长大，亲如手足。
当年，我18岁，吉米20岁。
第二天早晨，我就要动身去西部赚钱去了。
吉米是无论如何也不会离开纽约的，他认为这是世界上最好的地方。
那天晚上我们定好，就在20年后的同一天，同一时间，我们都要在这里碰面，不管我们的情况如何，也不管我们相隔多远。
我们觉得不管怎么样，20年后的我们命运也应该有一个好结果了，该发财的也已经发财了。
8“挺起来有点意思，”警察说道。
“尽管在我看来，你们俩见面的时间间隔长了点，自从你离开后，你和你的朋友还有联系吗？”9“哦，有的，有一段时间我们相互通信。

它是一种获取知识和培养技能的过程，可以帮助人们实现自己的潜力并为社会做出贡献。
在现代社会中，教育被视为一种基本权利，每个人都应该有平等接受教育的机会。

Unit 1 How to Improve Your Study Habits你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。
你在学校的学习成绩还不错，可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。
然而实际情况未必如此。
你要是想取得更好的分数，也还是能做到的。
是的，即使中等智力水平的学生，在不增加学习负担的情况下，也能成为优等生。
其诀窍如下：1．仔细安排你的时间。
把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来，然后制定一张时间表或时间分配图。
先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上，然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。
一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外作业。
当然，学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去，还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间，这一点很重要。
这张周作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题，但是它会使你比较清楚地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。
此外，它还能让你安排好各种活动，既有足够的时间工作，也有足够的时间娱乐。
2．寻找一个合适的地方学习。
选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。
这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子，但它应该是舒适的，而且不该有干扰。
在你开始学习时，你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。
3．阅读之前先略读。
这就是说，在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前，先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。
在预习材料时，你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。
随后在你正式开始阅读时，你就能辨认出不太重要的材料，并且可以略去某些章节不读。
略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍，还有助于提高你的理解能力。
<4．充分利用课堂上的时间。
上课时注意听讲意味着课后少花力气。
要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。
要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。
5．学习要有规律。
课后要及早复习笔记。
重温课堂上提到的要点，复习你仍然混淆不清的地方。
阅读教科书上讲到这些内容的有关章节。
如果你知道第二天老师要讲述的内容，那你就把这部分材料浏览一下。
这有助于你听懂下一堂课。
如果你定期复习笔记和课本，你就能更深刻地领会这些材料的内容，你的记忆也会保持得更长久。

第六单元
青香蕉
1.尽管这种事情在任何地方都可能发生，但我与青香蕉的邂逅却源自于巴西腹地一条险峻的山路上。
我那老式吉普车正吃力地穿过景色优美的乡村，这时，水箱突然漏水了，而离我最近的汽车修理站也
还要十英里。
发动机过热迫使我在临近的村庄停了下来。
村里有一个小商店和分布在四处的几座房子。
有村民围过来看，三股细细的热水柱从水箱外壳上的小孔喷出来。
“这容易解决，”一个人说到。
他让一个小男孩跑去拿些青香蕉来。
这个人还拍了拍我的肩膀，安慰我问题会解决的。
“青香蕉。
”他笑了，其余的人都这么说着。
2.我和他们闲聊起来，心里却一直在想他们用这青香蕉怎么能修补好水箱。
毫无疑问，提问会暴露我的无知，因此我开始赞叹眼前美
丽的乡村景色。
耸立在我们周围巨大的岩石群，很像里约热内卢著名的糖面包山。
“看见那边那块高高的岩石了吗？”那人指着一块特别
高而且细长的黑色石柱问我，“那块岩石标志着世界的中心。
”
3.我看着他，想知道他是否在和我开玩笑，但他却表情严肃，反过来认真地审视着我，似乎想确定我是否领会了他那句话的深刻含义。
这种情况要求我必须表现出认同。
他点头说：“绝对是中心。
这儿的人都知道。
”
4.这时，小男孩抱着青香蕉回来了。
那个男子把其中一根掰成两
半，将其断口处按在水箱的外壳上。
香蕉遇到炙热的金属融成了胶，
立刻就堵住了漏洞。
面对如此情景，我惊呆了，我当时的表情一定是
傻傻的，所有的人都笑了起来。
他们把我的水箱装满水，又让我带上
一些香蕉，以防沿途中水箱再出问题。
路上，我又用了一次青香蕉，
一个小时后，我开着车到达了目的地。
当地的一修理工笑着问我：“谁教你用青香蕉的？”我告诉了他那个村子的名字。
“他们有没有指给你看标志世界中心的那块岩石?”他问道。
我告诉他，他们指给我看了。
“我祖父就是那儿的人，”他说，“那的确是中心。
一直以来这儿的人都知道。
”
5.作为美国教育的产物，除了把青香蕉当作还没长熟的水果，我从来就没注意过它。
但突然在那条山路上，当我需要它时，它正巧出
现了。
可是仔细想一想，其实青香蕉一直在那儿存在着。
时间可以追
溯到香蕉的最初的起源。
那个村子里的人都知道它已经很多年了，我现在也因此认识它了。
我开始珍视村民们的聪明才智和青香蕉的特殊
潜能。
曾有一段时间，我一直困惑于教育家们提出的“领悟的瞬间”，而现在我知道自己刚刚同时经历了两个这样的瞬间。
6.我又用了一些时间来领会村民们认为那块标志着世界中心的
岩石的重要性。
开始时我怀疑他们的说法，因为我知道实际上世界的中心是位于新英格兰的某个地方，毕竟，我的祖父就是那儿的人。
但
我逐渐意识到他们的想法是很有道理的，我赞同了他们的看法。
我们都倾向于把一个特殊的地方理解为“中心”：在那儿为人所知，我们也认识其他人；那儿的事物对我们来说都别有意义；那儿有我们的根，
有我们存在的价值所在：家庭、学校、城镇以及当地的一切都可能成
为我们眼中世界的中心。
7.我渐渐明白了一个其实再简单不过的道理：对于居住在其中的人来说，每个地方都有着特殊的含义，从某种意义上说，每个地方都代
表着“世界的中心”。
世界上有无数这样的“中心”，没有哪个学生或旅行者能经历所有的这些“中心”。
但是，一旦突破这种意识从而建立另一个中心，一个全新的视角将伴随你的一生，并且一种积累的过程也将从此开始。
8.在世界文化之林中充满了你意想不到的含有特殊价值和意义
的青香蕉。
它们在那里存在很久了，满满地成熟，也许在耐心等待着
人们的发现。
实际上，青香蕉在等待着我们所有的人离开自己的“中心”，去体验更加广阔的天地。
