These feelings reflect their emotional dependence on their parents. When they grow up, they usually strive for the freedom from such dependence.Perh aps one of the most stressful matters…as men or women.Perhaps young college students feel most distressed in finding out their sexual identity, including associating with the opposite sex and designing their future roles as men or women.Probably nothing can make students feel lower or higher emotionally than the way they are relating to whomever they are having a romantic relationship with.When students are in a romantic relationship with the opposite sex, they are most likely to feel unhappy or happy emotionally.dragging his feet with a dismayed, dejected look on his face.walking slowly and listlessly, looking very unhappy and disappointed“to drag one’s feet” is often used figuratively to mean”to delay deliberately”The local authorities are dragging their feet closing small coal mines.During the course I had come to realize that while my world was expanding and new options were opening for me, my father, who was in his sixties, was seeing his world shrink and his options narrow.

Another School Year—What For?It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy, but it would further certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas mankind has generated within its history.The B.S. certificate would indicate/prove that the holder had special training in pharmacy, but it would also show that he/she had been introduced to some great ideas in the history of human civilization.You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn’t jump the fence, or that your client doesn’t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence.As a pharmacist, you should at least make sure that your medicine is not mixed up with poison. If you are an engineer, you should at least be able to make a fence to keep out wild animals. If you become a lawyer, you should at least make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you do not know how to defend your client.If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for the continuity of the fine arts, for that lesson of man’s development we call history—then you have no business staying in college.If you don’t want to improve your mind and broaden your horizon by studying a little literature, philosophy, the fine arts and history, you shouldn’t be here at college. Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather the college went through them—without making contact.Our colleges always produce such people. We cannot help that. But we can’t say that these people have received a proper college education. It is more accurate to say that these college years have just passed them by without leaving anything on them.

现代大学英语精读5 重点paraphrase+单词总结
Lesson 1Paraphrase1...when I suggested that this behavior might be grounds for sending the student on a brief vacation. (Para 14)One student had some radical comments on the author's class and the author got a little bit angry so that he suggested the school should suspend the student's schooling. But the dean of students thought the author was just too annoyed.The story the speaker tells the audience here is hilarious, but not to be taken seriously. In the United States, university students do write about their professors on their blogs—and write evaluations of their courses, critiquing their professors' teaching skills. So a student could have criticized the speaker for teaching a boring class and the speaker might defend himself by saying that he had a cold. But the story is basically all fantasy. The speaker's serious point may be that students expect professors to entertain them; the professors who are good entertainers receive high evaluations, but the criterion is superficial. Less flashy teachers who think deeply can be the ones from whom the students learn the most.2.Black limousines pulled up in front of his office and disgorged decorously suited negotiators. (Para.16)These were obviously officials from that country's embassy sent to negotiate with the professor about this case. The whole thing had become a tough diplomatic issue.3. Did my pal fold? Nope, he's not the type. But he did not enjoy the process. (Para.16)Did my friend back down? No, he is not the type of person who will easily give up his principles under pressure. But he did not like the experience he had to endure. This again is an interesting anecdote, but not a very good example, because the student involved is too special. 4. The idea that a university education really should have no substantial content, should not be about what John Keats was disposed to call Soul-making, is one that you might think professors and university presidents would be discreet about. (Para. 19)Professors and presidents do not think the content of the courses really matters much, because they are soon forgotten anyway. It shouldn't be about soul-making either. The speaker is surprised that professors and presidents are actually by and large quite frank about what they think are the aims of education. They do not hide their views because they do not feel embarrassed.soul-making: moral cultivation, character-building, and intellectual developmentdiscreet: careful about keeping/preventing something from being known or noticed by many people 言语谨慎的，说话小心不让人抓辫子的5. …and common sense is something to respect, though not quite—peace unto the formidable Burke—to revere. (Para. 28)常识是应该尊重的东西，但不一定崇拜希望其令人钦佩的伯克先生别生气。

现代大学英语精读2第1单元P a r a p h r a s e-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Another School Year—What For?It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy, but it would further certify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas mankind has generated within its history.The B.S. certificate would indicate/prove that the holder had special training in pharmacy, but it would also show that he/she had been introduced to some great ideas in the history of human civilization.You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn’t jump the fence, or that your client doesn’t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence.As a pharmacist, you should at least make sure that your medicine is not mixed up with poison. If you are an engineer, you should at least be able to make a fence to keep out wild animals. If you become a lawyer, you should at least make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you do not know how to defend your client.If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for the continuity of the fine arts, for that lesson of man’s development we call history—then you have no business staying in college.If you don’t want to improve your mind and broaden your horizon by studying a little literature, philosophy, the fine arts and history, you shouldn’t be here at college. Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather the college went through them—without making contact.Our colleges always produce such people. We cannot help that. But we can’t say that these people have received a proper college education. It is more accurate to say that these college years have just passed them by without leaving anything on them. There is not time enough in a single lifetime to invent for oneself everything one needs to know in order to be a civilized human.To become a civilized person, you need to know many things, and you cannot find out everything by yourself, because your life is too short.If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitation, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Aristotle, or Chaucer, or Einstein, you are neither a developed human nor a useful citizen of a democracy.
