Unit 1 College LifeListen and RespondI am now a fourth-year student at college, but I can never forget my freshman year here. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.College is a lot different from high school. Your freshman experience will definitely make an impression on you. So, what can you expect as you head off into the wonderful world of higher education?The first thing you'll notice is the workload. It will be heavier than you ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are the large amount of reading and writing, and the short deadlines. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and possibly loneliness. You'll be away from the comforts and friendships your home provided for you over the previous years.During the freshman year, you'll be making a lot of new friends. But you should continue to be yourself. Select your friends with the same care and patience you have always shown. Believe it or not, your college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term of your life. It's always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.You'll also be on your own —you'll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Don't waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career. Going to college is not just to get a degree —it is to find out who you really are and what you are really made for.Unit 2 Learning a LanguageHello, I’m Alberto. I’m a student of English, French, Portuguese and Italian. I would also love to learn Chinese and German in the near future. My mother tongue is Spanish and I have a degree in Political Science. I love to learn new languages, because I think it broadens my mind. Even though I still have some difficulty with verb tenses, I’m confident that with time and practice I’ll c ope with them.I believe learning a new language besides your mother tongue can be useful, especially in a world where distances are shortened and people from different countries communicate with each other more frequently.Learning a new language can be a good experience, but only if you keep in mind that nothing is obtained without some effort. In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to read a lot. It doesn’t matter what you read, but that you do it. Even if you don’t understand everything, your reading comprehension skill will improve remarkably. Also, if possible, watch a lot of television inthat language, or listen to CDs. Maybe at first you won’t understand a word, but later you’d catch on to the rhythm of the language.Good dictionaries are necessary, and books regarding vocabulary can be a plus. The Internet is also a useful tool.The language you choose to learn might seem a little difficult at first, or even totally strange, but you’ll get accustomed to it. Remember that the learn ing process is long, and that it never ends. However, it is also highly enjoyable.Unit 2 A Parents and TeenagersTeenagers and adults have a difficult time communicating. Teenagers often think adults don't understand them. Adults often think teenagers just don't listen to anything they say. That creates conflict. People very often use "generation gap" to explain the conflict between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the "generation gap." It lies mostly in implied statements that are not fully communicated between a teenage child and a parent. Here is one example. Mother says: "Please take out the trash." The teenager replies: "OK." However, one hour later the mother finds the trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. "I thought I asked you to take out the trash." But the child replies: "You didn't say I had to do it now." Are you familiar with this kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should know what she means, but the teenager just doesn't. This type of conversation takes place around our home every day. They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of "lack of communication" gets involved with the bigger issues of teenagers that larger problems can be caused. It is more difficult to solve these larger problems and it takes the efforts of both parents and teenagers to overcome such problems.Unit 3 The Birthday HeartOne day I was helping my mom preparing a picnic when my sisters arrived. They said, “Happy birthday, Mom!” and gave her some presents.I was sad. I had forgotten it was my mother’s birthday, but I didn’t want her to know that I had not remembered her birthday. I had one dollar in my piggy bank. With that I was sure that I could get a present that would show my mother how much I loved her.I went to the store. When I looked around, I suddenly realized that my dollar wouldn’t buy as much as I had thought it would. Then I saw a heart made of plastic. It contained typewriter correction paper. I knew that it would show my mother how much I loved her. It was ninety-nine cents.I took the heart to the cashier and gave her my dollar. She said that I didn’t have enough money because with tax the heart cost more than a dollar.I didn’t understand sales tax. All I understood was that I couldn’t give the heart to my mom. I went to put the heart back and the cashier asked me if it was my mom’s birthday. I nodded. Then she said that she could help me. She put some of her own pennies in the cash register with my dollar andgave me the heart in a bag.When my mother opened the bag and pulled out the heart, she exclaimed “What a beautiful present.” “It’s just what I need.” She put me on her lap and told me that she loved the heart and she loved me.I don’t remember many of the gifts that I have given my mother, but I will always remember the heart that I gave her on that birthday.Unit 4 Growing UpTeenagers and adults have a difficult time communicating. Teenagers often think adults don’t understand them. Adults often think teenagers just don’t listen to anything they say. That creates conflict. People very often use “generation gap”to explain the conflict between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the “generation gap”. It lies mostly in implied statements that are not fully communicated between a teenage child and a parent. Here is one example. Mother says: “Please take out the trash.”The teenager replies: “OK.”However, one hour later the mother finds the trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. “I thought I asked you to take out the trash.”But the child replies: “You didn’t say I had to do it now.”Are you familiar with this kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should know what she means, but the teenager just doesn’t. This type of conversation takes place around our home every day. They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of “lack of communication”gets involved with the bigger issues of teenagers that larger problems can be caused. It is more difficult to solve these larger problems and it takes the efforts of both parents and teenagers to overcome such problems.Unit 4 Knowing YourselfWhat is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us?First of all, let us take a look at what personality means. In general, when psychologists talk about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. However, different psychologists have different ways of explaining what personality is. They often use tests to put people into categories and compare them. For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts. "Introverts" is spelt I-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Others who enjoy going out and spending time with other people are called extroverts,E-X-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Do you know which personality type you are? Are you an introvert or an extrovert?Second, how can knowledge about personality help us? Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way, we can understand them better. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. For instance, if we know that someone isan introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.Another way knowledge about personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they become good. In this way, we can make ourselves a better person.So, after listening to this short passage about personality, do you want to find out more about yourself?Unit 6 Civility and Good MannersXiao Wang: People are so impolite these days!Xiao Chen: What’s the matter, Xiao Wang?Xiao Wang: Well, you see, this morning I was sitting in the back of the bus, alone, by myself. A friend called so I talked on my mobile phone to him for a while.Xiao Chen:Yes? What happened?Xiao Wang:Well, two people kept giving me dirty looks. You know, this is not the first time. It happened before. And when I got off the bus, one of them told me to stop using mymobile phone. He said I had talked too loudly about private matters and he had notthe least interest in knowing about them. I just don’t understand these people. What’swrong with them?Xiao Chen: I see. Actually similar things have happened to me many times, too. I must say there’re rude people everywhere these days. Like, the other day, I was sitting in thepark, smoking a cigarette. I was just sitting there, you know, enjoying the niceweather, looking at the birds, listening to music, and smoking.Xiao Wang:Yeah, what happened then?Xiao Chen: Well, when I finished my cigarette, I did what I always do when I smoke in the park. I put the cigarette butt on the sidewalk and crushed it with my shoe.Xiao Wang:Right. That’s what I usually do and there’s nothing wrong with it. This way it won’t be a danger to anyone.Xiao Chen: Well, this guy walking by saw me putting out my cigarette and told me that it was not very nice. He said it was bad for the environment. I just don’t get it. How can it bebad for the environment? Why are people so impolite?Xiao Wang:Well, well, I must say there are certainly rude people everywhere!。

新标准大学英语综合教程2前4个单元的summary和英译汉汉译英
unit 1 summaryWhat are the most important ___issues_____ for students today? Is the university ___campus_____ really such a different place compared to what it was 40 years ago?For the students in the 1960s, going to college was the most ___exciting and stimulating___ experience of their life. They took part in __protests__and launched _strikes__against the establishment with their new and ______passionate_ commitment to freedom and justice. Going to college also meant their first __taste___ of real freedom. They could discuss the meaning of life, read their first ____forbidden____ book and see their first indie film.In contrast, the students today don’t have the ___passion_____ for college life that they used to. Today, college is seen as a kind of small town from which people are __keen___ to escape. Instead of the __heady____ atmosphere of freedom which students in the 1960s discovered, students today are much more ___serious___. College has become _____a means to an end____, an opportunity to improve their __prospects__ of being competitive in the __employment___ market, and not an end ___in itself__.But in spite of all this, the role of the university is the same as it always has been. It is the place where students have the __opportunity__ to learn to think for themselves.unit 2 summaryEmpathy,onceknown as motor mimicry,originates fromphysical imitatiion of others’distress, which thenarousesthe same feelings in oneself. Children seem tofeel otherchildren’s pain and discomfort fromthe day they areborn--much earlier than they realize they existasindividuals. By one year old, they start to learn themisery is someone else’s but still seem confused about what todo. At around two and a half years,children may growout of motor mimicrywhen they are able todifferentiate their own feelings from others’ feelings, so they are ableto use other means to comfort others. At the same time,theirempathic concernbegins todifferfrom one toantoher.unit3 summaryIdentity theft refers to stealing information about someone that makes it possible to use their bank account or credit card. With an informal and conversational tone the author persuades readers into actions against the threats of identity fraud in our daily life. According to the author we make t he thieves’ job easy by leaving our mails unprotected, using ball pens for checks and forms, throwing documents containing our personal information in the trash, leaving our computer on and so on. So we should look for different ways to protect ourselves and change our mindset. Identity crime is very likely to happen at any time, to any of us. We can take precautions to improve the chances of avoiding this crime, though it will never go away.unit4 summaryWhat exactly is news? The objective importance and the historical, international significance of an event is not enough. It is the odd, unexpected and human nature that made news like 9/11 memorable and newsworthy. So is immediacy which refers to the nearness of the event in time.When it comes to immediacy, those media like TV, radio and Internet have an enormous advantage over the press. However, no matter what form it may take, all the media more or less covertly, influence the public. That is the so- called power of the media.In the new millennium, maybe the press or TV are not going to disappear overnight, butthe power of the media may be eroded or at least devolved to ordinary people.Unit 11 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。
