新视界大学英语综合教程第六单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading“懦夫”是赢家;“硬汉”是输家“如果你第一次没有成功;那就再试一次吧;”喜剧演员W C菲尔德斯说;“如果还是没有成功;那就放弃吧..傻瓜一样地不肯放弃是毫无意义的.. ”嗯;是的;在某种程度上是这样的;但是我们都知道放弃有个正确时机和错误时机的问题..根据新的研究;知道什么时候放弃不可能实现的目标的人;即所谓的“懦夫”;其身心要比不惜任何代价而坚持下去的“硬汉”健康..自从制宪元勋们来到美国;我们的孩子们就一直被灌输在面对生活中的困难时坚持不懈的价值..这种永不言败的精神在一句19世纪的名言中得到了最佳体现：“如果你第一次没有成功;那就再试一次吧..”可要试多少次再放弃才比较合适呢有很多研究都是关于这个问题的;尤其是关于决心与健康之间可能存在关系的问题..一方面;从长远来看;坚持和自律似乎增加了你成功的几率;同时;个人的成功与身体的健康也似乎密切相关..想想你所知道的成功人士;回顾一下他们的一生..他们总是很清楚自己的人生方向吗既然现在已经成功了;他们就幸福、健康吗有些人也许是的..然而;如果成功是很不确定的;那又该怎么办呢例如;一个普通运动员想成为奥运会金牌获得者..太过于坚持有可能会对你的健康产生负面影响吗通过一系列的心理学实验;科学家格雷戈里·米勒和卡斯滕·罗奇提出了一种区分“硬汉”和“懦夫”这两类人的方法..研究表明; “懦夫”通常比“硬汉”健康..米勒和罗奇针对皮肤病、睡眠不好和头疼等相对轻微的疾病做了研究;发现“懦夫”患病的几率比“硬汉”低..此外;“硬汉”长时间处于压力之下;体内一种蛋白质的含量处于更高水平;这可能意味着他们患有严重的疾病;包括糖尿病和心脏病这些致命的疾病..科学家们也注意到;“硬汉”和“懦夫”的区别还在于在放弃某些重要的东西后他们是否愿意追求新的目标..他们发现;那些迅速重返生活的人有着更强的目标性;而且很少去想过去了的事情..设定新目标让他们免受失败情绪的影响;这对那些难以承认失败的“硬汉”们尤为重要..那么;为什么“硬汉”们最后会说“够了;够了”呢实际上;他们似乎是经历了轻度的消沉才恢复了体力..一些人会经历一段消极期;在此期间他们什么事都不做..但是从积极的方面来看;他们被迫停下来;重新评估自己的生活..渐渐地;他们对世界的态度变得更实际..从人类进化论的角度来说;科学家们认为;消沉在告诉我们要放慢节奏;审时度势;谨慎小心..抑郁实际上能让我们大多数人放弃不切实际的争夺奥运会金牌的念头;从而有助于保护人类..给自己设定目标肯定是很重要的..对于年轻人来说;这是他们在世上确立个人特质的一部分..但是随着年龄的增长;当我们发现要么实现不了这些目标;要么被别的更重要的目标吸引了;我们就会调整期望或者放弃这些目标..我们因为更想照料新组建的家庭而放弃了辉煌的职业计划..我们因为要生存而选择停止了学业..结果;我们在生活中发现了更可行的目标;它们比之前的更适合我们的现状..所以;当我们从梦想中走出的同时;我们也长大了..也许我们应该重写那句名言..“如果你第一次没成功;那就再试一次吧..即使你又失败了;你也不会总失败的..听从身心的指引..那是你作为一个人可以找到成功的地方;那是人类赖以生存的地方..”Dealing with Unfamiliar Words④Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in the box.1. comic2. feasible3. assess4. desirable5. persist6. sequence7. readily⑤Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.1. exhibit2. glorious3. category4. depression5. differ6. indicate7. cultivate⑥Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in the box.1. findings2.

In addition to public parks and other open spaces; you can also see people doing their exercise on their balconies. There are many health benefits. As well as strengthening the muscles and improving the blood flow; t’ai chi also improves one’s sense of balance. Furthermore; it helps the process of recovery after a stroke or heart attack.

It tells us that a strong will is the most essential quality that anyone who wants to achieve success. It can contribute a lot to one’s success. Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong WillAlthough “All roads lead to Rome”; none of them is completely smooth. Our life is filled with obstacles which may make us feel so hopeless that we may choose to give up. At the crucial moment; strong will helps a lot. As a matter of fact; the ability to work through difficult situation and unfortunate events with strong will can make one stronger and more capable. In other words; if we want to realize life’s goal; we must keep forging ahead with strong consciousness.From what has been discussed above; we can see that the establishment of tough determination is of great importance to everyone. With a strong will; including our knowledge; we will be able to deal with any situation in our life. Whatever we do; as long as we stick to and do not give up easily; we will realize the goal at last.。

英语阅读第一单元课文翻译 Active Reading两种判断判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。
我们往往认为所有的判断都属于第一种。
如果能意识到哪些是第一种而哪些不是的话，我们也许会更幸福。
第一种判断，即把正确地判断一个人作为最终目的的判断，包括法院判决、考试成绩及大部分比赛。
这些判断当然可能会有误判，但因为其最终目的是正确地判断一个人，通常会有某种类似于上诉的程序。
如果你觉得别人没有正确评价你，你可以表示反对，说你受到了不公平的待遇。
几乎所有对孩子的判断都属于第一类，所以在小时候我们就养成了这种习惯，认为所有的判断都是这样。
但实际上还有更广泛地存在着的第二类判断，在这种判断中，对你作出判断只是做另一件事的手段。
这包括大学招生、聘用及作投资决定，当然也包括在约会时作出的判断。
这种判断并不是真正意义上对你作出的评价。
假设你要为国家队挑选运动员。
简单起见，假设这是一个没有位置要求的运动，并且你需要挑选二十个运动员。
有一些明星运动员肯定要在队里，还有许多肯定不能入选。
只有那些难作取舍的情况会让你的判断产生差别。
即使你搞砸了，低估了排在第二十名的运动员，使他落选了，他的位置被排在第二十一名的运动员所代替，你还是组建了一支好的队伍。
如果运动员之间的能力分配正常，第二十一名运动员只会比第二十名略微逊色，或者他们之间的差距比测量误差还要小。
那位排在第二十名的运动员可能会觉得自己被错误地判断了。
但是在此你的目的不是为人们提供能力评估服务，而是组建一支队伍，如果排名第二十位的与排名第二十一位的运动员之间的差距比测量误差还小，你还是作了最佳选择。
用‚不公平‛来形容这种‚不正确的判断‛是一种错误的类比。
因为在此目的不是为了对某个特定的个体作出正确的评估，而是选择合理的最佳组合。
在此，会误导我们的一点是选择者看起来有点权力。
这点权力会让人们认为他像个法官。

Why I left my job1 "But only in their dreams can man be truly free. 'Twas always thus, and always thus will be."2 When I told him about my decision to leave my job, my father quoted these lines from the movie Dead Poets Society.3 I guess it's not what you would expect, but the reason I left it is exactly the same as the reason I applied for it in the first place. On both occasions, my requirements included job satisfaction and hope about my future, and as I left the office at the advertising agency for the last time, I remembered thinking what I'd thought the day I went in for the first time: I'm sure I could do something better with my life.4 In fact, much of my life had followed a pattern of repetition. I left college with an acceptable degree in fine art, in the same way as I'd left school with a record of scholarship, modest list of exam successes, and relatively little failure. But I hadn't enjoyed college, much as I hadn't really enjoyed school. My whole time in formal education either as a child or as a teenager had been, frankly, tedious, and had been marked with an abundant distrust of people telling me what to learn.5 But for years I followed the plan for a procession of life events which was given to all of us: go to school, go to university, get a job, get married, have children ... and presumably make a new generation suffer the same plan. When I left university, I was confronted by the necessity to look for work.6 I am, by instinct and by profession, an artist. I'm competent at drawing, I paint, I design clothes, and I understand how to use colour to reflect the personality of whoever I'm reproducing on paper or canvas or material. As a child, I hardly read books, but would work my way steadily through a thick pad of paper, drawing after drawing.7 So now, on leaving university, and having fulfilled my side of the plan, which had been to do what I was told, was I condemned to a life of service to others? Was it too much to ask that I should find a job which allowed me to use my talents?8 So I made a succession of applications for jobs in design companies, advertising agencies, anywhere I could use my artistic skills. Of course, there were few jobs of that kind, and no doubt there were better candidates—or at least better connected—than me, who got the work. When I returned to the advertising agency for the second time (they'd turned me down once) I understood that I was one of the lucky ones, it was now my turn to realize my dreams.9 From a childhood growing up in South London, I was invited to their head office in Madison Avenue, the home of advertising, in New York. It was in every way a different country, and for the first few months I behaved like a visitor, in a state of mind which moved between a sense of wonder at my new home and of longing for my roots. I got on well with our clients, I worked on several advertising campaigns, and gradually, on prominent advertising sites around the country, I began to identify the images in the adverts which I had worked on.10 Within a year I was promoted to the post of account manager for the manufacturers of the country's favourite soft drink. At first I was impressed by my spectacular rise in the company, so were my parents—so far, so fast! But my new job took me away from what I was good at, and over the years, my enthusiasm for creative thinking flowed away. There are, after all, only so many ways you can make people buy a product which they'd probably buy anyway. However senior I was likely to become in the company, I still resented being told what to do. And I missed myink-stained fingers and my paint box.11 I knew then that I had to move on.12 I came back to London. I didn't know what I was going to do, but I thought I'd start again. I anticipated some moments of doubt, but I knew I wanted to work in the visual arts, sell some designs, and maybe do some real painting.13 That was a year ago. I now earn a tenth of what I earned in New York, and whileI have a steady girlfriend, our lack of financial prosperity means we can't afford to have children. But my success, my spiritual prosperity, is once again how I perceive it, and not how someone else defines it for me. And I cannot tell you how successful I feel.14 When I first got back, I felt a need to explain why I'd left my job. Despite my conviction that I was doing the right thing, I needed my father's approval. I said, "I've come back to follow my dreams."15 "Again!" my father replied with a sympathetic smile. "'Twas always thus ..."。

In doing so, the employee admits his own minor implication in the crime. The police launch their own investigation, and ask the journalist to reveal the name of her source. She refuses, claiming that her professional standards oblige her to protect her sources. Should she be praised for her principles, or charged with preventing the police from solving the crime?
