Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by.

综合教程34 Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.但此地只是我所承担的繁重使命的一处停留地。

乔赛亚·亨森只是一长串无所畏惧的男女名单中的一个名字，这些人共同创建了这条“地下铁路”，一条由逃亡线路和可靠的人家组成的用以解放美国南方黑奴的秘密网络。

在1820年至1860年期间，多达十万名黑奴经由此路走向自由。

5 In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.2000年10月，克林顿总统批准拨款1600万美元建造全国“地下铁路”自由中心，以此纪念美国历史上第一次伟大的民权斗争。

大学英语三背诵文本

第一单元Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. All kinds of people describe themselves as shy: short, tall, dull, intelligent, young, old, slim, overweight. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly swirling in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? I'm ugly. I'm wearing unattractive clothes.It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. For instance, people who have a positive sense of self-worth or high self-esteem usually act with confidence. Because they have self-assurance, they do not need constant praise and encouragement from others to feel good about themselves. Self-confident people participate in life enthusiastically and spontaneously. They are not affected by what others think they "should" do. People with high self-esteem are not hurt by criticism; they do not regard criticism as a personal attack. Instead, they view a criticism as a suggestion for improvement.第三单元Latchkey children range in age from six to thirteen. On a daily basis they return from school and unlock the door to their home with the key hanging around their necks. They are now on their own, alone, in quiet, empty rooms. For some youngsters, it is a productive period of private time, while for others it is a frightening, lonely void. For reasons of safety, many parents forbid their children to go out to play or to have visitors at home. The youngsters, therefore, feel isolated.Latchkey children who were interviewed reported diverse reactions. Some latchkey children said that being on their own for a few hours each day fostered, or stimulated, a sense of independence and responsibility. They felt loved and trusted, and this feeling encouraged them to be self-confident. Latchkey girls, by observing how their mothers coped with the demands of a family and a job, learned the role model of a working mother. Some children stated that they used their unsupervised free time to perfect their athletic skills, such as playing basketball. Others read books or practiced a musical instrument. These children looked upon their free time after school as an opportunity for personal development. It led to positive, productive, and valuable experiences.第四单元Job changes and career shifts occur at all ages. It has been estimated that as many as one out of four male workers between the ages of twenty and twenty-five change their lines of work. About half that number do so between the ages of twenty-five and forty-four.Career planning does not guarantee that all the problems, difficulties, or decision-making situations that face you in the future will be solved or made any easier. No formula can be given to do that. But career planning should help you to approach and cope better with new problems, such as deciding whether or not to enter educational or training programs, deciding whether or not to change jobs, and analyzing the difficulties you are having with a situation or a person.Nobody can foresee what the future holds for any of us. There are social, emotional, and moral considerations in our future that cannot be foreseen. But the most important lesson of this often unhappy modern world is that progress comes from planning. Ignorance about one's career is not bliss; reason isbetter than chance and fate. Although there is no sure way to make career plans work out, there are things that you can do now to shape your career possibilities.第五单元On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me. Anger and bitterness had preyed upon me continually for weeks and a deep languor had succeeded this passionate struggle.Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line4, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "Light! Give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.第七单元I created a mindset that made me ready for change. I expected that big things were on the horizon, that a trip such as this could change my life. I believed with all my heart that I could change, if only I could find a quiet place to sort things out and experiment with new ways of thinking and acting.I insulated myself from the usual influences in my life and the people whose approval was most important. One of the reasons that therapy often takes so long is that, once you leave the safety and support of a session, you reenter the world where familiar people elicit the familiar reactions. By separating myself from others’ approval and influences, I was able to think more clearly about what I really wanted.I structured my time in order to produce change and growth. Solitude, isolation, or new environments in themselves are not enough; you must also complete tasks that are relaxing and educational. The most important part of any therapy is not what you understand or what you talk about, but what you do. Insight without action is entertaining but not always helpful. Instead of reading novels and calling home regularly, I took the time to participate in different activities that would make me change.。

全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程3 1-8单元 cloze 原文配答案

1.1Jim Doherty may not be a born farmer , but he gets buy without too much trouble. Not that he has had it easy. That first hard winter he faced must have left him with the temptation to give up and go back to the city. But he managed to get through it without losing heart. He’s picked up a lot of skills since then and made some real improvements to his farm, though without much laborsaving machinery aside from that old rotary cultivator. I suspect he doesn’t make all that much, though he does have his writing to supplement what little profit he makes from the farm. I guess he does it primarily for the quality of life. Certainly, they seem a happy family and you can often see them out working together, one day spraying apple trees, the next stacking firewood.1.2A homesteader (自耕农) is a person who lives a self-reliant lifestyle with major emphasis on home production. while the Industrial Age is being replaced by information and electronics, some people try to seek an escape from the social, environmental, and economic madness of the modern age and begin to consider returning to the country. As this lifestyle is so enjoyable, satisfying and rewarding, more and more people are prepared to quit their job in the city and start a new and more meaningful life on their various farms. For some it has become not only a way of life, but a way of looking at the world.Of course, life in the country can be pretty tough. While it is an enjoyment to be so close to Nature, you may have to reduce your dependence on fuels by cutting back on your daily consumption. You may also have to prepare your own meals every day and provide your own low-cost entertainment without the luxuries that are common in cities. On balance, however, living in the country has long been a part of the American Dream. Generations of Americans have considered the country an ideal setting in which to live and raise a family2.1The underground Railroad was forged by the efforts of those who were prepared to fight against slavery and stand up for the long-suffering Southern black Americans. Some of those who helped to transport slaves to the north and freedom were former slaves themselves. Others felt compelled to take part because of their deeply held convictions .For many of those involved, liberating the slaves from those who exploited them because a mission. While their eventual goal was to abolish slavery completely, in the meantime they were intent on helping to free as many slaves as possible, often at considerable risk. In the eyes of slave owners, they were dangerous enemies and frequently received death threats2.2Despite the name, the Underground Railroad was not really a railroad, but was a network of people who assisted fugitive slaves. Many fugitives who escaped to theNorth and Canada received assistance along the way from individuals who were involved in this network. By the early 19th century, the organization became so successful that it is estimatedthat that between 1810 and 1850,100,000 slaves escaped from the South through the Underground Railroad.It was not a(n) coincidence that it was called the Underground Railroad. Steam railroads had just emerged and the terms used to describe the people who helped and the fugitives were related to the railroad line. Fugitive slaves were called "parcels" and "passengers", the helpers were the "conductors", the people who provided their homes as refuge were called "stationmasters," and the homes were referred to as "depots" or "stations".The route used was an important part of a successful escape. There were numerous secret routes that a conductor could use.The one used depended on where the search parties and slave catchers were stationed . Some trips required the use of many different routes. I f it appeared that they might be in danger, a guide would change paths. Some guides and fugitives even hid out in bushes and swamps for many days until it was safe to continue on. Quickness was not the main concern , instead safety was most important and as a result they often zigzagged in order to avoid capture3.1Statistics show that crime in rural areas is now rising faster than in the cities.Th e era when the countryside stood for safety and secutity has long gong.No longer is it safe anywhere to go out leaving the door on the latch.We all feel vnlnerable and seek to strengthen the barriers we use to hold criminals at bay.These can r ange from old fashioned bolts and bars to the latest electronic devices.A moment’s reflection,however,is enough to bring us face to face with the following puzzle:w e may have locked the evils out,but in doing so we have locked ourselves in.this har dly seems a civilized way of life.3.2Statistics show that at some point in your life, you will get robbed. Things get even worse for apartment dwellers because so many people pass in and out of an apartment building, and it is much tougher to keep non-residents out.So what to do? Don't panic. Yes, apartments are liable to robbery, but there are options other than barricading yourself in your apartment with a shotgun. We suggest that you use some common sense to shift that target from your door. Then the burglar will rob the less guarded, not you.We know what you're thinking: "I' ll never get robbed. Who'd want to steal a half can of Diet Coke and an electric toothbrush?" If those really are the only things in your apartment, you have every reason not to worry. However, if you have something you'd like to keep - say, a TV, a stereo, a computer, a Picasso - it's wise to be cautious .Your goal is not to set up any sophisticated security systems to hold thieves at bay; your goal is to keep crimi nals from even trying to break into your apartment inthe first place. I f someone really wants to break in, chances are that he/she is going to find a way by breaking a window or climbing up the fire escape. Therefore, you should remove all signs that say, "Hey, look at me! Lots of goodies and no security! Come on in! " Lock the door when you leave. Don't leave the windows open all day long. Don't tape notes on the door directed to your mate reading "Gone all day! Left the door unlocked for you! " Just use your brains!4.1Einstein’s teacher should have had a little more caution before he came to the conclusion that his pupil would never get anywhere in life. Probably he was irritated by the thought that the young Einstein was undermining his position. And certainly it is true that Einstein did not give/care a fig for authority. However,far from being a flaw in Einstein is character,this proved ,beyond any doubt ,to be one of his greatest strengths. It was on this foundation,combined with the remarkable power of his remarkable/imagination,that his great achievements were built.4.2Imagining is not dreaming. Maybe to a(n) extent but it is more than that. Imagining is being creative. We owe all the inventions and developments to imagination, without which, I bet we would still be cavemen. Knowledge is important but imagination is even more important.Imagination deals with the future and knowledge deals with the past. Imagination creates and knowledge manages. Imagination breaks the norm and knowledge maintains the status quo. A leader needs imagination to create a vision . A manager needs knowledge to operate the organization. An organization with only managers will be obsolete eventually .Not only is it important in business. Imagination is required to solve problems that mankind have, and move humans to a higher level of achievement and well being. How are we going to solve global warming? How are we going to eradicate poverty? We need imagination to come out with the solutions.Einstein wouldn't have realized the theory of relativity if he had not utilized his imagination. In any field, if you are a leader, you need to imagine, for the breakthrough .5.1alex Haley was at sea when he started thinking how best he could mark Thanksgivi ng.Turning over the meaning of the holiday in his mind,he came to reverse the or der of the words and got to thinking about giving thanks.How,he wondered,could he repay those who had been so helpful to him in the past?It seemde to him that t he best way he could express his gratitude would be to write to them.For too long h e had gone about without troubling to tell them how much he appreciated all that th ey had done for him.Before long he had assembled pen and paper and was immers ed in writing.Not long after the ship reached port,unloading its cargo together with his letters.The replies were not swift in arriving,but when they did,he found the m deeply moving5.2Wake up each day and give gratitude for what you have. Instead (1) of giving any thought at all to what you do not have in your life, just spend as much time as you possibly can each day giving thanks for all of the people, opportunities, material possessions (2), good health and any other things that you have in your life that make it so good. It is said that we take so much for granted that we sometimes forget to be thankful for the small things that make our lives so much richer (3). If you have ever been out of breath (4) or under water for too long, the next breaths you take are that much sweeter.Tell others how much you love and cherish(5) them every chance you get. You may never see someone again so you always want to leave them by telling them just how special (6) they are to you. When you are telling them how much you care about them and how thankful you are for having them in your life, give them specific (7) examples of what you love about them the most.Take the time to appreciate every little thing in your life. When the sun is s hining (8), the grass is wet beneath your feet and your dog is barking, give thanks for these small miracles (9). Every moment we have is a gift (10). Use your time to show and tell others how important and special they are. Giving someone your time and kind words is the greatest gift of all.6.1I had only known Johnsy a few months when she fell victim to the disease.We had met in May and,finding ourselves so much in tune,had set up home together.Then, in November,she became ill.Scarcely able to speak in a,she seemed unable to cling to life.It was such a change.Before she had always been so lively andmerry.Now she just sat up in bed,staring out of the window.She had this strange b elief that once the last leaf on the vine outside fell,she would die.I told her it was all nonsense,but to no effect.It was our downstairs neighbor,Mr.Behrman,who came to her rescue.When he h eard of Johnsy’s strange fancy he flew into a fierce temper,regarding it as a sin that o ne so young should give up life so easily.Thanks to Behrman,the last leaf never did te at night he had climbed up and painted the leaf on the wall.It was his long-promised masterpiece6.2Five years ago a female inmate (犯人) at Riker's Island told Jane Paley that she smelled wonderful. As president of Friendly Visitors, a 50-year-old organization whose mission(1) is "acts of loving kindness that don't involve(2) large sums ofmoney or hours of work," Paley frequently went to the New York City jail (3). That day, though, a spray of perfume (香水) went off in her head.Her group had long donated (捐赠) money so that the 100 women in the jail could buy food and treats. Why not (4) give them fancy toiletries (化妆用品) too?Paley and her crew of 35 women figured out the perfect way to get the goods: They asked friends to collect (5) hotel soaps, shampoos and lotions when they travel. Volunteers bundle them into goody bags and deliver (6) them to Riker's several times a year, including Christmas and Mother's Day."These mini-donations make the women feel beautifu(7)," says Paley. "You can see them turn themselves around a little bit."So, Paley continues, "If you're lucky enough to afford a vacation (8), take the soap and shampoos. Bring them to homeless shelters, battered women shelters or any organization in need (9). It's a small (10) act that may mean a great deal."7.1It's been a long day and I'm glad to be back home and get the weight off my feet(1). Not that I've finished yet, there are still all those orders (订单) to type up andI must remember to add my signature (2) to my claim (索取) for commission(3)before I post it off. Otherwise, my firm will be on the phone (4) to me about it. Notthat they have much to complain about. I always manage to sell quite a lot, except that time I was laid up (5) after surgery(6). I'm the only representative the firm has out on the streets nowadays and I still manage to cover a large territory (7) despite my disorder (8). It's hard work and long hours, no time to linger in bed in the mornings,Yet, I've never regretted applying for(9) the job all those years ago. Supporting myself enables me to keen my dignity (10).7.2imagine how you would fill in 24 hours a day, every day, if you didn't have to work. There you go - off to the beach in summer, the movies in winter, watch T.V. on rainy days, go skating or horse riding, read a lot of books or magazines, sleep . . .But would you? Where would the money come from to pay your bus fares, to get into the movies, to buy your T.V. or to pay for the electricity, or buy your skates and books?Let's say that money grew on trees, and that no-one had to worry about that "small" problem. Now you can do all those things... right?Probably not, because if no-one had to worry about earning money, then who would bother driving your bus to the beach -for that matter, who would bother building your bus, or making your movies, skates, books, etc.? Why would they have to?What you'd probably end up doing would be spending most of your time out in the fields growing your own food, or looking after your cows for milk and meat, yoursheep for clothing, growing bamboo for the walls of your humpy.Why would you need to do this? Because no-one else would need to do it to earn money, because money grew on trees - right?Obviously, money in that sort of society doesn't really exist, and is of no value to the people...8.18.2Since Dolly came into existence, scientists and politicians have been worrying about the prospect(1) that it will soon be possible to clone humans, too. The debate centers on two types of cloning: reproductive, with the intention (2) of_producing a baby, and therapeutic (治疗的), with the aim of creating a source of “embryonic”stem cells (干细胞) that might replace diseased organs of the body.Cloning has both strong supporters and fierce critics. Despite(3) the deeply held moral and technological objections of many people, human cloning took a small step forward this week with an announcement by researchers that they had successfully created a human embryo through cloning,_for the purpose of developing(4) stem cells. They are not the first to lay claim to such a feat, but they are the first to publish (5) their findings. Their work was promptly condemned (6) by President George Bush, who said it was morally wrong, and by the Vatican, among (7)many others.From a technical standpoint(8), such strong opposition seems out of line with the slender scientific significance of this development. The researchers used what has become standard(9) cloning method in animals. This is to remove the nucleus (核) containing genetic material from a donor egg, and replace it with the nucleus of another cell. The resulting stem cells would then be genetically identical to the donor, avoiding problems of rejection(10) when they are returned to the patient in treatment.。

Unit 3 Book 1Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. (Para. 2)Why is this sentence reversed?(The word “nor” here appears at the beginning of the sentence to give force to the negation.- Nor will I deny that.)2.The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn’t succeed. (Para. 2) 1) What is the grammatical function of the first “that”?(Here “that” brings about an attributive clause.)2) What does the structure “such that” here mean?(The structure is used to give an explanation for something.- His manner was such that he would offend everyone he met. )3) What can we infer from this sentence?(No way can suppress anything new, as human initiative and inventiveness do exist.)3.All it would do is slow down the rate of change. (Para. 2)Why is there no “to” between “is” and “slow”?(When “do” appears in the subject of a sentence, the sign“to” of an infinitive which is used as the predicative can be omitted.- The first thing he did was (to) look for a guide.- All we could do now is (to) remain cool-headed.)4.At the moment, the public is in two minds about science. (Para. 3)1) What does “in two minds about” mean?(Unable to decide whether or not you want sth. or want to do sth.- I think she’s in two minds about whether to accept his present or not.)2) What can we learn from the sentence?(The public finds itself holding two contradictory viewpoints about science. On the one hand, it expects the improvement in the standard of living that has been brought by science; on the other hand, it also distrusts science because it does not understand it.)5.It is also an important element behind support for the Green parties. (Para. 3)1) What does “it” refer to?(The public’s distrust of science)2) What part of speech is “support” here?(It is a noun.)6.But in schools science is often presented in a dry and uninteresting manner. (Para. 4) Paraphrase the sentence.(But in schools science is often taught in a dull and boring way.)7.Maybe I would have sold twice as many copies without it. (Para. 4)Translate the sentence into Chinese.(如果不用这个公式的话，也许我能多卖出一倍的书。

Unit112 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.我想，不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。

这种生活需要一些特殊的素质。

其一是耐得住寂寞。

由于我们如此忙碌，手头又紧，我们很少请客。

在作物生长季节，根本就没工夫参加社交活动。

吉米和埃米莉虽然参加学校的各种活动，但他俩大多数时间也呆在家里。

13 The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.另一项要求是体力――相当大的体力。

小范围里实现自给自足的途径是抵制诱惑，不去购置拖拉机和其他昂贵的节省劳力的机械。

相反，你要自己动手。

我们仅有的机器（不包括割草机）是一台3马力的小型旋转式耕耘机以及一架16英寸的链锯。

14How much longer we'll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody's guess -- perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, we'll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we've been able to accomplish. We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. We've invested about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once economic conditions improve, however, demand for farms like ours should be strong again.没人知道我们还能有精力在这里再呆多久--也许呆很长一阵子，也许不是。

到走的时候，我们会怆然离去，但也会为自己所做的一切深感自豪。

我们把农场出售也会赚相当大一笔钱。

我们自己在农场投入了约35，000美金的资金，要是现在售出的话价格差不多可以翻一倍。

不过现在不是出售的好时机。

但是一旦经济形势好转，对我们这种农场的需求又会增多。

15 We didn't move here primarily to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family, I know we've found just what we were looking for.但我们主要不是为了赚钱而移居至此的。

我们来此居住是因为想提高生活质量。

当我看着埃米莉傍晚去收鸡蛋，跟吉米一起在河上钓鱼，或和全家人一起在果园里享用老式的野餐，我知道，我们找到了自己一直在寻求的生活方式。

Unit24Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom. 但此地只是我所承担的繁重使命的一处停留地。

在1820年至1860年期间，多达十万名黑奴经由此路走向自由。

5In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National UndergroundRailroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.2000年10月，克林顿总统批准拨款1600万美元建造全国“地下铁路”自由中心，以此纪念美国历史上第一次伟大的民权斗争。

中心计划于2004年在辛辛那提州建成。

真是该建立这样一个中心的时候了。

因为地下铁路的英雄们依然默默无闻，他们的业绩依然少人颂扬。

我要讲述他们的故事。

Unit34It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.取而代之的是防盗锁、防护链、电子报警系统，以及连接警署或私人保安公司的报警装置。

郊区的许多人家在露台上安装了玻璃滑门，内侧有装得很讲究的钢条，这样就没人能把门撬开。

5It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company. 在最温馨的居家，也常常看得到窗上贴着小小的告示，称本宅由某家安全机构或某个保安公司负责监管。

6The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it. 锁成了美国的新的象征。

的确，一家大保险公司最近的一则公益广告没有用图表表明我们所处的危险有多大，而是用了一幅童车的图片，车身上悬着如今无所不在的挂锁。

7The ad pointed out that, yes, it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods, but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life? Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?广告指出，没错，确是保险公司理赔失窃物品，但谁来赔偿互不信任、担心害怕这种新氛围对我们的生活方式所造成的影响呢？谁来对美国从自由之国到锁之国这一蜕变作出精神赔偿呢？8For that is what has happened. We have become so used to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life, so used to putting up barriers, that we have not had time to think about what it may mean.因为那就是现状。
