civilisation struggle
Part I The first foreign language I ever learnt was French, but it didn’t go very well. My mother asked our neighbour to teach me when I was seven. French wasn’t his ___n_a_ti_v_e__
Part II I became interested in learning more languages aside from English. Then I saw an advertisement that offered a wonderful summer course in German, and that was the way in which I decided to take on a new language. The buiding where we met for classes was quite small, but there was a whole world of language to explore. Our teacher was Mrs Haus: a tall, thin, quiet, grey-haired lady. I'll never forget the first day when she introduced herself to us. She never once raised her voice, but as soon as she began to speak, the room fell silent. What was the reason? Because Mrs Haus LOVED German language and culture — and everybody who was in her classes couldn’t help but love the language, too. We all loved the class in which she talked about German food and traditions. And I realised what makes a good teacher. A good teacher is someone who is in love with what she or he is teaching.

Loving oneself is not a selfish indulgence, but a necessary prerequisite for leading a fulfilled and romantic life.It's the foundation upon which all other relationships are built, and the beginning of a lifetime of romance.Loving oneself means first acknowledging our own worth and value. It's about understanding that we are unique individuals with our own dreams, aspirations, and flaws.It's about embracing our imperfections and accepting ourselves for who we are, rather than trying to be someone else. When we love ourselves, we are more likely to make healthy choices, take care of our physical and mental well-being, and pursue our passions and goals.Loving oneself also involves being kind and compassionate towards ourselves. We often forget to extend the same kindness and understanding to ourselves that we would to others. We criticize ourselves harshly, beatourselves up for our mistakes, and constantly strive for perfection. But the truth is, no one is perfect. We all make mistakes, and it's okay to do so. What's important is learning from our mistakes, forgiving ourselves, and moving forward.When we love ourselves, we are more likely to attract love and positivity from others. Our positive energy and self-confidence are contagious, and people are naturally drawn to us. We become more open to receiving love and support from those around us, which in turn makes us more capable of giving love and support to others.Loving oneself is a lifelong journey. It's about constantly working on ourselves, growing, learning, and evolving. It's about treating ourselves with the same love and respect that we deserve, and creating a life that is filled with joy, fulfillment, and love.In conclusion, loving oneself is the beginning of a lifetime of romance. It's about understanding and accepting ourselves, being kind and compassionate towards ourselves, and constantly working on our personal growth and development.

Her work is noteworthy for its examination of the conflict between the desire for family and relationship and that for career and self-determination.1These days so many marriages end in divorce that our most sacred vows no longer ring with truth. “ Happily ever after”and “Till death us do part” are expressions that seem on the way to becoming obsolete. Why has it become so hard for couples to stay together? What goes wrong? What has happened to us that close to one half of all marriages are destined for the divorce courts? How could we have created a society in which 42 percent of our children will grow up in single-parent homes? If statistics could only measure loneliness, regret, pain , lose of self-confidence, and fear of the future, the numbers would be beyond quantifying.2 Even though each broken marriage is unique, we can still find common perils,common cause of marital despair. Each marriage has a crisis point and each marriage tests endurance, the capacity for both intimacy and change. Outsidepressures such as job loss, illness, infertility, trouble with a child, care of aging parents, and all the other plagues of life hit marriages the way hurricanes blast our shores. Some marriages survive these storms, and others don’t. Marriages fail , however, not simply because of the outside weather but because the inner climate becomes too hot or too cold, too turbulent or too stupefying.3 When we look at how we choose our partners and what expectations exist at the tender beginning of romance, some of the reasons for the disaster become quite clear. We all select with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional pattern of our first homes. Dr. Cart A. Whitaker, a marital therapist and emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin, explains, “From early childhood on, each of us carried models for marriage, femininity,masculinity, motherhood, father hood and all the other family roles. “ Each of us falls in love with a mate who has qualities of our parents, who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives. We may think we have found a man unlike Dad, but the he turns to drink or drugs, or lose his job over and over again, or sits silently in front of the TV just the way Dad did. A man many choose a woman who doesn’t like kids just like his mother, or who gambles ways the family saving just like his mother, or he may choose a slender wife who seems unlike his obese mother but hen turns out to have other addictions that destroy their mutual happiness.4 A man and a woman bring to their marriage bed a blended concoction of conscious and unconscious memories of their parents’ lives together. The human way is to compulsively repeat and recreate the patterns of the past. Sigmund Freud so well described the unhappy design that many of us get trapped in: the unmet needs of childhood, the angry feelings left over from frustration of long ago, the limits of trust, and the reoccurrence of old fears. Once an individual senses this entrapment, there may follow a yearning to escape, and the result could be a broken, splintered marriage.5 Of course people can overcome the habits and attitudes that developed in childhood. We all have hidden strengths and amazing capacities for growth and creative change. Change, however, requires work---observing your part in a rotten pattern, bringing difficulties out into the open--- and work runs counter to the basic myth of marriage: “When I wed this person all my problems will be over. I will have achieved success and I will become the center of life for this other person and this person will be my center, and we will mean everything to each other forever.” This myth, which every marriage relies on, is soon exposed. The coming of children, the pull and tugs of their demands on affection and time, place a considerable strain on that basic myth of meaning everything to each other, ofmerging together and solving all of life’s problems.6 Concern and tension about money take each partner away from the other. Obligations to demanding parents or still-depended-upon parents create further strain. Couples today must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the women’s movement and the sexual revolution. The altering of roles and the shifting of responsibilities have been extremely trying for many marriages.7 These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bless the way sandstorms eat at rock and the ocean nibbles away at the dunes. Those euphoric, grand feelings that accompany romantic love are really self-delusions, self-hypnotic dreams that enable us to forge a relationship. Real life, failure at work, disappointments, exhaustion, bad smells, bad colds and hard times all puncture the dream and leave us stranded with our mate, with our childhood patterns pushing us this way and that, and with our unfulfilled expectations.8 The struggle to survive in marriage requires adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling. Many marriages fall apart because either partner cannot imagine what the other wants or cannot communicated what he or she needs or feels. Anger builds until it erupts into a volcanic burst that buries the marriage in ash.9 If we sense from our mate a need for too much intimacy, we tend to push him or her away, fearing that we may lose our identities in the merging of marriage. One partner may suffocate the other partner in a childlike dependency. A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn’t easy. Richard gives up his interest in carpentry because his wife, Helen, is jealous of the time he spends away from her. Karen quite the choir group because her husband dislikes the friends she makes there. Each pair clings to each other and is angry with each other as life closes in on them. This kind of marital balance is easily thrown as one or the other pulls away and divorce follows.10 Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one’s fantasies, some of one’s legitimate desires have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. “While all marital partners feel shackled at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or supporting bonds, “says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial, and emotional discipline. A man and a womancannot follow every impulse, cannot allow themselves to stop growing or changing.11 Divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be, despite its initial devastation, like the first cut of the surgeon’s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partner can stay past the breaking-up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself.NotesDr. Cart A.

Translate the following passages into Chinese faithfully and smoothly.
At the beginning of a romance, a person’s habits may seem unimportant or even endearing, but over the long term his nightly snoring or her thing about never raising the window shades can begin to grate.
The best indication of whether a man or woman is capable of genuine friendship with a mate, social psychologists say, is whether he or she has close, nonsexual friends of the opposite sex. Also important, says Pittman, is whether that person is friends with his parents, since someone still at war with his parents is probably not ready for friendship with a romantic partner.
Feelings of love may wax and wane during a relationship, but trust is constant. Infidelity is the most devastating betrayal of trust a couple can experience. That survey found that when one partner had sex outside the relationship, the couple were more likely to break up. Even a little bit of infidelity can set forces in motion that eventually wreck a marriage. Only when we trust our lover to be faithful and know that he or she can trust us, do we feel comfortable and at peace with our own conduct and our relationship.

--Effort is the gist of happiness. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a life time depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something the same terms when he spoke of “The pleasure of taking pains”. The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.
