Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher. It was January of 1940and I was fresh out of刚刚做完graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class,sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something." Twoweeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on hiships. "Look," he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff" Andnot having a book of his own to point to, he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。
那是1940年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。
一个瘦高，长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说：“好吧，教我一些东西。

大学英语泛读教程2unit1课文翻译及课后小题
大学英语泛读教程2unit1课文翻译及课后小题1.The Pickle JarAs far back as I can remember, the large pickle jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. "Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You're going to do better than me. This old mill town's not going to hold you back." Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me."We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. "When we get home, we'll start filling the jar again."He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. "You'll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters," he said. "But you'll get there. I'll see to that."The years passed, and I finished college and took a job in another town. Once, while visiting my parents, I used the phone in their bedroom, and noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose and had been removed. A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words, and never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life as a boy. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me. No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar. Even the summer when Dad got laid off from the mill, and Mama had to serve dried beans several times a week, not a single dime was taken from the jar. To the contrary, as Dad looked across the table at me, pouring catsup over my beans to make them more palatable, he became more determined than ever to make a way out for me. "When you finish college, son," he told me, his eyes glistening, "You’ll never have to eat beans again unless you want to." The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns cuddling their first grandchild. Jessica began to whimper softly, and Susan took her from Dad's arms. "She probably needs to be changed," she said,carrying the baby into my parents' bedroom to diaper her.When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes. She handed Jessica back to Dad before taking my hand and quietly leading me into the room."Look," she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins.I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins. With a gamut of emotions choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw that Dad, carrying Jessica, had slipped quietly into the room. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions I felt. Neither one of us could speak.Exercises1.

UNIT1TEXT这是一篇幽默的散文。
但是在你读完文章这后你将会十分确定地发现作者是在非常严肃的写这篇文章。
在地球上有生命吗?阿特.布奇沃德这是金星这周最令人激动的事情。
金星的科学家首次成功发射了一颗人造卫星到地球，并且它到达以后一直送回信号和照片。
人造卫星被指引到一个名叫曼哈顿的地区，(以金星伟大的天文学家--曼哈顿教授命名，他在20000光年以前首次通过望远镜发现这个地方)。
因为非常好的天气情况和非常强的信号，金星人科学家能够得到非常有价值的信息关于载人飞碟登上地球的可能性。
一次新闻发布会在金星的技术协会举行。
“我们已经得出了结论,以上周的人造卫星登陆为基础,”佐格教授说,“在地球上没有生命。
”“您是如何知道这件事情的？”金星晚报的科学记者问道。
“首先，曼哈顿地区的地面由坚硬的混凝土构成，没有任何东西能在那里生长。
其次，地球的大气充满了一氧化碳和其他有害的气体。
没有什么人呼吸这种空气还能存活。
”“对我们的飞碟计划这意味着什么呢？”“我们将自己携带氧气，它意味着飞碟要比我最初计划的要重很多。
”“在您的研究中您还发现其它的危险了吗？”“看这张照片。
你可以看到黑色的云层盘旋在地球的表面。
我们叫它联合爱迪生云层。
我们并不知道它是如何产生的，但是它给我们再来很多麻烦，我们必须做进一步的测试在我们从金星出发之前。
”“在这里你将注意到这似乎是一条河，但是人造卫星发现它已经被污染了并且水不能被饮用。
这意味我们不得不自己携带水，这会更加增加飞碟的重量。
”“先生，在照片上那些所有的小黑点是什么呢？”“我们不能确定。
它们看起来是由金属制成了，并沿着一定的轨迹运行。
它们排放出废气，噪音并且不断地撞向对方。
在许多的路上都有很多的金属制成的物品，当飞碟着陆时保证它不被其中一个撞到是不可能完成的事情。
”“那些像石笋的突出物是什么呢？”“它们是某种会在晚上发光的花岗岩的形成物。
”格洛姆教授说,从他们看起来快擦到蓝天了就把它们命名为摩天大楼。
“如果您说的这些都是真的，那是不是意味着我们的人造卫星项目会耽搁几年呢？”“是的，一旦获得额外的资金我们就会继续进行。
”“佐格教授，为什么当确定地球没有生命时我们还要花费几十亿的钱来让飞碟登陆地球上呢？”“因为如果我们金星人能可学会在地球的大气中呼吸，那么我们将可以生活在世界上任何一个地方。
”It is a humorous essay. But after reading it you will surely find that the author is you will surely find that the author is most serious in writing it.Is There Life on Earth?Art BuchwaldThere was great excitement on the planet of V enus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago.) Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, V enusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology."We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing," Prof, Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth.""How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked."For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.""What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?""We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than we originally planned.""Are there any other hazards that you discovered in your studies?""Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering over the surface of Earth? We call this the Consolidated Edison Belt. We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.""Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer.""Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?""We're not certain. They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They emit gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other. There are so many of these paths and so many metal particles that it is impossible to land a flying saucer without its being smashed by one.""What are those stalagmite projections sticking up?""They're some type of granite formations that give off light at night. Prof. Glom has named them skyscrapers since they seem to be scraping the skies.""If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years?""Yes, but we shall proceed as soon as the Grubstart gives us he added funds.""Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?""Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in an Earth atmosphere, them we can live anywhere."NEW WORDSHumorous a. funny; that makes people laugh 幽默的[]a.1. 幽默的,诙谐的;滑稽的,可笑的They were imaginative, quick, and humorous.他们富有想像力,反应快且富于幽默感。
Humor n.[]n.1. 幽默感[U]2. 幽默[U]Humor is often more than a laughing matter.幽默常常不只是一笑了之的事。
