研究生英语精读UNIT7 ON HUMAN NATURE.ppt(第六组)a
As far as school concerned, we should start small.
For instance, by pulling together many small habits ,especially for avoiding temptations and problems, one can get a good human nature.
View:
Human nature does not and cannot change ;We can only endeavor to understand man as he is.
To cultivate one’s own virtue is most important. Virtue is the essence of a noble and good character.
THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
---- THE SIXTH TEAM
Second, Self-control.
People use their self-control to break bad habits and establish good ones, and then life can run smoothly and successfully.
Third, By thinking small.
First, Understanding.
“Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” If you find you have issues understanding those
around you, slow down and try to truly understand: Where they are coming from. What they are going through. What is their motivation for doing something. What they need or want from you.

研究生综合英语第7单元
第七单元令人烦恼的二十年岁盖尔·希伊The trying twenties confronts us with the question of how to take hold in the adult world. Incandescent with our energies having outgrown the family and the formlessness of our transiting years, we are impatient to pour ourselves in the exactly right form—our own way of living in the world. Or while looking for it, we want to try out some provisional form. For now we are not only trying to prove ourselves competent in the larger society but intensely aware of being on trial.令人烦恼的二十年岁使我们面临的问题是应如何在成人世界里立足。
这时的我们精力最为充沛，已不再需要家庭的呵护，也已度过了转型期的稚嫩，正急于寻求一种最适合自己的生活——在这个世界上属于我们自己的生活方式。
或者说，在寻求生活模式之际，我们想尝试一下某种过渡性的方式，因为此刻我们不仅在努力证实自己在较大社会环境中的能力，而且还强烈地意识到正在进行尝试。
Graduate student is a sage and familiar form for those who can afford it. Working toward a degree is something young people already know how to do. It postpones having to prove oneself in the bigger, bullying arena. Very few Americans had such a privilege before World War II; they reached the jumping-off point by the tender age of 16 or 18 or20 and had to make their move ready or not. But today, a quarter of a century is often spend before an individual is expected or expects himself to fix his life’s course. Or more. Given the permissiveness to experiment, the prolonged schooling available, and the moratoria allowed, it is not unusual for an adventurer to be nearly 30 before firmly setting a course.对那些经济上能承受的人来说，读研究生是一种既稳妥又熟悉的方式。

Unit 7 The Trying Twenties
Warm-up Activities 1. What does “the trying twenties” mean? Why is the twenties a “trying” period? Here “trying” means straining one’s power of endurance, so the phrase means that the twenties is a period in which people undergo many ordeals that will temper their willpower and make them more mature. Twenty-somethings are presented with numerous tasks which they are not yet equipped to deal with. For example, to prepare for a career, to find a mentor who will guide you through life, to find a mate with whom you will spend your life, etc. These are the things that were once irrelevant, but now have become imminent. In a sense these are the “trials” they need to go through as they are becoming an adult.

• His works: • Divorced in America, 1974 • Ambition,1980 • Plausible Prejudices, 1985 • The Middle of My Tether • Family Territory
Introdution to the Text
• On the other hand, examples of ambition also include people working for the good of others such as Martin Luther King and Ghandi. Epstein argues that far from being an evil, ambition is in fact a virtue and necessary for the functioning of society. He argues that ambition involves much more than just “dreams of glory” — it also includes the work and discipline to make those dreams come true. Ambition, says Epstein, is critical for both great leaders and the more humble members of the middle class. Rather than being an evil, ambition is something that brings progress and life to society.
• He is a teacher in the acclaimed prose, writing fiction, as well as literature classes on Henry James, Willa Cather, and Joseph Conrad. He won the 2019 harold Washington Literary Award for the most prominent man or women of letters in Chicago.
• Perhaps one of the cleverest writers of our times, Epstein specializes in the personal or familiar essay.
• His insightful and penetrating observations and wry prose combine to make him one of the most enjoyable contemporary authors. He has also written short fiction, as well as a number of works of literary criticism.
Introduction to the Author
• Joseph Epstein(1937-), noted essayist,short story author and novelist, was born in Chicago and grew up in Rogers Park. He then attended the University of Chicago and is now a promineng member of the literature faculty at Northwestern University.
The structure of the text
• Part 1 (para.1-3): None of this seems a sufficient cause for driving ambition under the counter.
• Part 2 ( para.4-5):What is the worst that can be said about ambition.
• Is ambition good or bad? There are those who argue that ambition is often evil; that “dreams of glory” ( in the words of the author) too often result in selfishness, rivalry, corruption, and a general lack of moral standards. If you are truly ambitious, then your goal — whether fame, wealth, or power — comes before everything else, including your family, other people, and even your own moral values. Hitler is one well-known example of the evils of ambition, and one needn’t look far to find other examples among both public figures and perhaps even our own acquaintances.
• Part 3 ( para.6-7): There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this.
• Part 4 ( para.8-11): To discourage ambition is to discourage dreams of greatness.
