Uint 5A mother and her son learn more from a moment of defeat than they ever could from a victory. Her example of never giving up gives him courage for the rest of his life.从失败的一刻中，母亲和儿子收获了他们从成功中不曾收获到的。
母亲永不放弃的精神给他此后的人生以很大的勇气Coming home from school that dark winter's day so long ago, I was filled with anticipation.I had a new issue of my favorite sports magazine tucked under my arm, and the house to myself. Dad was at work, my sister was away, and Mother wouldn't be home from her new job for an hour. I bounded up the steps, burst into the living room and flipped on a light. 在很久以前一个昏暗的冬天，我放学回家，心中充满了期待。
我腋下夹着一期新的我最爱看的体育杂志，再者，家里没有别人打扰我。
爸爸在上班，妹妹不在家。
妈妈刚找到新工作，还得过一个小时才下班。
我跳上台阶，冲进起居室，啪嗒一声打开电灯。
I was shocked into stillness by what I saw. Mother, pulled into a tight ball with her facein her hands, sat at the far end of the couch.She was crying. I had never seen her cry.我被眼前的景象惊呆了。
妈妈双手捂着脸，身子紧缩成一团，坐在长沙发的那一端哭泣着。
我看见妈妈哭这还是第一次。
I approached cautiously and touched her shoulder. "Mother?" I said. "What's happened?" 我小心翼翼地向她走去，轻轻拍她的肩膀。
“妈妈，”我说，“怎么啦?”She took a long breath and managed a weak smile. "It's nothing, really. Nothing important. Just that I'm going to lose this new job. I can't type fast enough." 妈妈深深吸了一口气，强作微笑。
“没什么，真的。
没有什么要紧的事。
只是我这份新工作要丢了。
我字打得不够快。
”"But you've only been there three days," I said. "You'll catch on." I was repeating a line she had spoken to me a hundred times when I was having trouble learning or doing something important to me. “可你上班才三天，”我说。
“你会熟练起来的。
”我这是在重复她讲过上百次的一句话，每当我学习或做一件与自己关系重大的事情而遇到困难时，她总是这样跟我说的。
"No," she said sadly. "I always said I could do anything I set my mind to, and I still thinkI can in most things. But I can't do this." “不成，”妈妈黯然神伤地说。
“过去我总是讲，只要我下决心，什么事都能干成。
现在我仍然认为大多数的事我都能做。
但打字这件事我干不了。
”I felt helpless and out of place. At age 16 I still assumed Mother could do anything. Some years before, when we sold our ranch and moved to town, Mother had decided to open a day nursery. She had had no training, but that didn't stand in her way. She sent away for correspondence courses in child care, did the lessons and in six months formally qualified herself for the task. It wasn't long before she had a full enrollment and a waiting list. I accepted all this as a perfectly normal instance of Mother's ability我感到无能为力，而且十分尴尬。
我虽然十六岁了，但仍然以为妈妈什么都能干。
几年前，当我们卖掉农场，搬到城里住的时候，妈妈决定开办日托所。
她过去没有受过这方面的训练，但这并不能阻碍她。
她写信要求参加幼托函授课程，学习了六个月就正式获得从事这项工作的资格。
不久她的日托所招生额满，而且还有不少小孩登记等着入托呢。
我觉得凭妈妈的能力，办成这一切是理所当然的。
But neither the nursery nor the motel my parents bought later had provided enough income to send my sister and me to college. In two years I would be ready for college. In three more my sister would want to go. Time was running out, and Mother was frantic for ways to save money. It was clear that Dad could do no more than he was doing already —farming 80 acres in addition to holding a fulltime job. 然而，无论是托儿所或是我父母后来购买的汽车旅馆都不能提供足够的收入供我妹妹和我上大学。
两年后就该是我上大学的时候了。
再过三年，妹妹也要上了。
时间一天天过去，妈妈拼命想办法积蓄钱。
很清楚，爸爸已尽了最大努力--除了一份全日工作之外，还耕种了八十英亩地A few months after we'd sold the motel, Mother arrived home with a used typewriter. It skipped between certain letters and the keyboard was soft. At dinner that night I pronounced the machine a "piece of junk." 我们卖了汽车旅馆没几个月，妈妈搬回来一台旧打字机。
这架打字机有时会跳字，键盘也很松。
那天吃晚饭时，我把这台机器说成是“废物一件”。
"That's all we can afford," Mother said. "It's good enough to learn on." And from that day on, as soon as the table was cleared and the dishes were done, Mother would disappear into her sewing room to practice. The slow tap, tap, tap went on some nights until midnight. “我们只买得起这样旧的，”妈妈说。
“学打字用是够可以的了。
”从那天起，餐桌一收拾，盘子一洗，妈妈马上到她的缝纫间去练习。
有几天，那缓慢的嗒、嗒、嗒的声音一直持续到午夜。
It was nearly Christmas when I heard Mother got a job at the radio station. I was not the least bit surprised, or impressed. But she was ecstatic临近圣诞节的时候，我听说妈妈在电台找到一份工作。
我一点也不惊奇，也不觉得有什么特别，但妈妈却欣喜万分。
Monday, after her first day at work, I could see that the excitement was gone. Mother looked tired and drawn. I responded by ignoring her.星期一，妈妈第一天上班回来，我发觉妈妈的高兴劲儿已经烟消云散。
妈妈绷着脸，看上去很疲劳，我没对她作任何表示。
Tuesday, Dad made dinner and cleaned the kitchen. Mother stayed in her sewing room, practicing. "Is Mother all right?" I asked Dad. 星期二，爸爸做晚饭，收拾厨房。
妈妈呆在缝纫间练习打字。
“妈妈还好吗?”我问爸爸"She's having a little trouble with her typing," he said. "She needs to practice. I think she'd appreciate it if we all helped out a bit more“妈妈打字碰到点困难，”他说，“她需要练习。

第一课大学时代鲍勃·哈特曼1.你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2.在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。
当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3.学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
4.1984年4月杰利弗·A·霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。

第一单元与法律的小摩擦我平生只有一次跟警方发生纠葛。
被捕和出庭的整个过程在当时是一件非常不愉快的事，但现在倒成了一篇很好的故事。
这次经历令人可恼之处在于围绕着我的被捕以及随后庭上审讯而出现的种种武断专横的情况。
事情发生在大约12年前，其时正是2月。
几个月前我中学毕业了，但上大学要等到10月。
当时我还在家中居住。
一天早晨，我来到里士满。
这里是伦敦的一个郊区，离我住的地方不远⊙我在寻找一份临时工作，以便积些钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗，当时又无急事，我便慢悠悠看看橱窗，逛逛公园。
有时千脆停下脚步，四处张望。
现在看来，一定是这种明显的毫无回的的游逛，使我倒了霉。
事情发生在11点半钟光景。
我在当地图书馆谋职未成，刚刚走出来，便看到一个人穿越马路，显然是要来跟我说话。
我以为他要问我时间，不料他说他是警官，要逮捕我。
起先我还以为这是在开玩笑，但又一个警察出现在我的面前，这次是位身着警服的，这一下使我确信无疑了。
“为什么要抓我？”我问道。
“到处游荡，企图作案，”他说。
“作什么案？”我又问。
“偷窃，”他说。
“偷什么？”我追问。
“牛奶瓶，”他板着面孔说道。
“噢，”我说。
事情原来是这样的，在这一地区多次发生小的扒窃案，特别是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着，我犯了一个大错误。
其时我年方19，留一头蓬乱的长发，自认为是60年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
所以我想装出一副冷漠的、对这一事件满不在乎的样子。
于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说，“你们跟踪我多久啦？”这样一来，在他们眼里，我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了，也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋。
几分钟后，开来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去，”他们说。
“把手放到前排座位的靠背上，不准挪动。
”他们分别坐在我的两边。
这可再也不是闹着玩的了。
在警察局，他们审讯了我好几个小时。
我继续装成老于世故、对这种事习以为常。
当他们问我在千什么时，我告诉他们在找工作。
“啊，”我可以想见他们在想，“果然是个失业的家伙。

Unit 1一个年轻人发现，在街上漫无目的的闲逛也会带来涉及法律上的麻烦。
一种误解导致另一种误解，直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判…….法律小冲突我平生只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。
被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历，但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。
尤其令人恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审期间的种种武断情形。
事情发生在十二年前的二月，那是我中学毕业已经几个月了，但是要等到十月份才能上大学，所以当时我仍在家中。
一天上午，我来到离我住地不远的伦敦郊区的里士满，那是我正在找一份临时的工作，一边攒些钱去旅游。
由于天体晴朗，有没有什么急事，我便悠然自得的看看窗店橱窗，逛逛公园，有时干脆停下来四处观望。
一定是这种显然无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。
事情发生在十一点半左右，当我在当地图书馆谋之未成，刚从那里出来，就看见一个人从马路对面走过来，显然是想跟我说话。
我愿意为他是要问我时间。
想不到他说他是警察，要逮捕我。
开始我还以为这是个玩笑。
但紧接着又来了一个穿着警服的警察，这下我无可置疑了。
“为什么抓我？”我问。
“四处游荡，有作案嫌疑，”他说。
“做什么案？”我又问。
“偷东西，”他说。
“偷什么”我追问。
“牛奶瓶”他说，表情极端严肃。
“噢，”事情是这样的，这一带经常发生小偷小摸的案件，尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着，我犯了个大错误，那是我才十九岁，留着一头乱蓬蓬的长发，自以为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
因此，我想对此表现出一副冷漠，满不在乎的态度，于是用一种很随便的无所谓的腔调说：“你们跟我多久了？”这样一来，我在他们眼里，我是惯于此种情形的，这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。
几分钟后来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去，”他们说：“把手放在椅背上，不许乱动。
”他俩分别坐在我的左右，这下可不是闹着玩的了。
在警察局，他们审问了我好几个小时。
我继续装着老于世故，对此种事习以为常的样子。
当他们问我一直在干什么事时，我告诉他们我在找工作。

Unit 2 Fruitful Questions詹姆斯·索利斯克描述了他是如何因他的孩子们能用新方法看事物而认清创造性思维的本质的。
获益匪浅的问题詹姆斯·索利斯克不久前的一个晚上在餐桌旁，我的三个孩子--年龄分别为9岁、6岁和4岁--暂时停止争抢食物，腾出时间教我认识什么是范式变换、什么是线性思考的局限以及如何重新看待相关的各种因素。
事情是这样的：当时我们在玩自己那套只动嘴的“哪个不是同一类？”的芝麻街游戏。
本来玩这游戏时，孩子们要看三张画并挑出那张不属同一类的画。
我说：“来吧，哪个不是同一类，桔子，西红柿，还是草莓？”老大很快就说出了自以为非常得意的答案：“西红柿，因为其他两种是水果。
”我承认这是正确答案，尽管有些纯粹主义者坚决认为西红柿是一种水果。
对我们这些从小就被迫吃拌在色拉里的西红柿的人来说，西红柿永远是蔬菜。
我正准备再出一道三种东西为一组的题目时，我4岁的孩子说：“正确答案是草莓，因为另外两种是圆的，草莓却不圆。
”我怎么能驳斥这种论点呢？接着，我6岁的孩子说：“不属同一类的是桔子，因为另外两种是红色的。
”9岁的孩子不想让弟妹占上风，说道：“不是同一类的也可以是桔子，因为其他两种长在藤上。
”老二把这看作对他发出的挑战。
“可以是草莓，因为只有草莓会放在冰淇淋上。
”毫无疑问，这里正发生着什么事儿。
这事儿比争抢食物还乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜重要得多。
哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心，重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式，我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年做的事。
鲁宾·马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰淇淋改名为哈根达斯，在不改变产品的情况下提高了价格，我的孩子们正做着鲁宾·马修斯做过的事。
爱德华·詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药，从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗，我的孩子们正做着爱德华·詹纳做过的事。
他不去研究得了天花的患者，而去研究接触天花却从未染上此病的人。

“为什么要抓我？”我问。
“四处游荡，有作案嫌疑。”他说。
“做什么案？”我又问。
学生们必须上网。你们家必须用数码与环球信息网联通。企业必须能即时下载大量资料。但是，除非我们改变范式、重新审视相关的各种因素，否则，信息高速公路就不会给我们带来什么结果。
无论是现在还是最近，我们都不缺乏信息。试想我们拥有的信息比四面年前的哥白尼多了多少。但他作出了足以震撼全球的（权作双关语）惊人之举，完全改变了人们对宇宙的看法。他作出此举不是靠发现更多的信息，而是靠用不同的眼光看大家都看到过的信息。爱德华·詹纳不是靠积累信息发明了预防药物，而是靠重新表述问题。
我本想在法庭上作自我辩护。但父亲一弄清事情的原委后，就为我请了一位很不错的律师。就在那个星期一，我们带着各种证人出庭了，其中包括我中学的英语老师作为我品行的见证人，但法庭并没有传话他作证。对我的“审判”也并没有进行到那一步，开庭才十五分钟，法官就驳回了此案，我被无罪释放。可怜的警察毫无胜诉的机会。我的律师甚至成功地使警察承担了诉讼费。
几分钟后，来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去，”他们说，“把手放在前排的座椅上，不许乱动。”
他俩分坐在我的左右，这下了不是闹着玩的了。
在警察局，他们审问了我好几个小时。我继续装作老于世故，对此事习以为常的样子。当他们问我一直在干什么时，我告诉他们在找工作。“啊哈！”这下我可看到他们在想，“无业游民”。
最后，我被正式指控，并得到通知下周一到里士满地方法院受审。他们这才让我走。

第一单元与法律的小摩擦这样，我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录。
但当时最令人震惊的，是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据。
我讲话的口音“表明我受过良好教养” ，到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲，有可靠的证人，还有，我显然请得起一名很好的律师。
从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看，我肯定，如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里，并且真的是失了业的话，我完全可能被判有罪。
当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时，他公然把辩护的证据建立在我“学业优异”这一事实上。
第二单元获益匪浅的问题毫无疑问，这里正发生着什么事儿。
这事儿比争抢食物还乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜还要重要。
哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心，重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式，我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年所做的事。
鲁宾•马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰激凌改名为哈根达斯，在不变换产品的情况下提高了价格，我的孩子们正在做着鲁宾•马修斯所做过的事。
爱德华•詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药，从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗，我的孩子们正做着爱德华•詹纳所做过的事。
他不去研究得了天花的患者，而是去研究接触天花却从未染上此病的人。
他发现他们都患了一种类似天花但比较轻微的疾病：牛痘；这使得他们对致命的天花得以免疫。
第三单元我为什么当教师还要提一提清洁女工杰基。
她凭直觉了解的事情比我们多数人通过分析弄清的东西还要多。
杰基已经决定读完中学，然后还要上太学。
这些在我眼前成长、变化的人，便是我要当教师的真正原因。
当一名教师意味着是创造的见证人，他目睹人体开始呼吸，开始了生命“提升了”，不再教书了，也许会给我带来金钱和权力。
可是我现在也有钱c 我拿了薪金去做自己乐意做的事：读书、交谈、提问，比如问：“做个富翁有什么意思呢？”我现在还有权呢。
我有权启迪，有权激发才智9 有权开出书目，有权指矽支迷津。
还有其他什么权力更值得考虑呢？但教书还会带来金钱和权力以外的东西：那便是爱。
不仅是爱学习、爱书本、爱思想，而且还有老师对出类拔萃的学生的爱。

Then they let me go. 最后,我被正式起诉,并通知我下周一到里士满地方法庭受审.随后他们让我离开.I wanted to conduct my own defence in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor. 我想在法庭上作自我辩护,但父亲知道这事后,马上请了一位高明的律师.We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. 我们星期一出庭的时候,带了各种各样的证人,其中包括我中学的英语老师,做我人品的见证人. But he was never called on to give evidence. My trial didn t get that far. 但结果法庭没有叫他作证.我的〝审判〞没有进行到那一步.The magistrate dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. 开庭_分钟,法官就驳回了对我的指控.I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. 我无罪获释.可怜的警方一点儿赢的机会都没有.The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police. 我的律师甚至让法庭责成警方承担了诉讼费用.And so I do not have a criminal record. 这样,我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录.But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. 但当时最令人震惊的,是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据.I had the right accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. 我讲话的口音〝表明我教养良好〞,到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲,有可靠的证人,还有,我显然请得起一名很好的律师.Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. 从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看,我肯定,如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里,并且真的是失了业的话,我完全可能被判有罪.While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor s case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a brilliant academic record . 当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时,他公然把辩护的证据建立在我〝学业优异〞这一事实上.Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. 与此同时,就在审判室外面,一位抓我的警察正在沮丧地向我母亲抱怨,说是又一个小伙子要跟警察作对了.You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you, he said to me reproachfully. 他带着责备的口气对我说,〝我们抓你的时候,你本可以稍微帮点忙的.〞What did he mean? 他说这话什么意思?Presumably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, Look here, do you know who you re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me! 大概是说我本该显出愤愤不平的样子,并说,〝喂,留神点,你知道你在跟谁说话?我是学业出众的高材生.你敢抓我!〞Then they, presumably, would have apologized, perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way. 那样一来,他们或许会向我道歉,说不定还会脱帽致意,让我走开呢.NEW WORDSbrushn. brief fight or encounter 小冲突;小接触processn. course; method, esp. one used in manufacture 过程;制作法arbitrarya. based on one s own opinion only, not on reason 任意的;武断的circumstancen.

The whole process of being arrested and taken to court(法院) was a rather unpleasant e_perience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.事情发生在大约_年前,其时正是2月.几个月前我中学毕业了,但上大学要等到_月.当时我还在家中居住.It happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.一天早晨,我来到里士满.这里是伦敦的一个郊区,离我住的地方不远⊙我在寻找一份临时工作,以便积些钱去旅游.由于天气晴朗,当时又无急事,我便慢悠悠看看橱窗,逛逛公园.有时千脆停下脚步,四处张望.现在看来,一定是这种明显的毫无回的的游逛,使我倒了霉. One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where Ilived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some moneyto go traveling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimesjust stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aim-lessness that led to my downfall.事情发生在_点半钟光景.我在当地图书馆谋职未成,刚刚走出来,便看到一个人穿越马路,显然是要来跟我说话.我以为他要问我时间,不料他说他是警官,要逮捕我.起先我还以为这是在开玩笑,但又一个警察出现在我的面前,这次是位身着警服的,这一下使我确信无疑了.It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, whenI saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talkingto me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he wasa police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was somekind of joke. But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, andwas left in no doubt.〝为什么要抓我?〞我问道.〝到处游荡,企图作案,〞他说.〝作什么案?〞我又问.〝偷窃,〞他说.〝偷什么?〞我追问.〝牛奶瓶,〞他板着面孔说道.〝噢,〞我说.事情原来是这样的,在这一地区多次发生小的扒窃案,特别是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶. It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.接着,我犯了一个大错误.其时我年方_,留一头蓬乱的长发,自认为是60年代〝青年反主流文化〞的一员.所以我想装出一副冷漠的.对这一事件满不在乎的样子.于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说,〝你们跟踪我多久啦?〞这样一来,在他们眼里,我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了,也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋.Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the si_ties ` youth counterculture .As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, soI said, ` How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief thatI was a thoroughly disreputable character.几分钟后,开来了一辆警车.〝坐到后面去,〞他们说.〝把手放到前排座位的靠背上,不准挪动.〞他们分别坐在我的两边.这可再也不是闹着玩的了.在警察局,他们审讯了我好几个小时.我继续装成老于世故.对这种事习以为常.当他们问我在千什么时,我告诉他们在找工作.〝啊,〞我可以想见他们在想,〝果然是个失业的家伙.〞 At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continuedto try to look worldly and au fait with the situation. When they asked mewhat I had been doing, I told them I d been looking for a job. ` Aha, Icould see them thinking, `unemployed .最后,我被正式指控,并通知我下周一到里士满地方法庭受审.随后他们让我离开.我想在法庭上作自我辩护,但父亲知道这事后,马上请了一位高明的律师.我们星期一出庭的时候,带了各种各样的证人,其中包括我中学的英语老师,作我人品的见证人.但结果法庭没有叫他作证.我的〝审判〞没有进行到那一步.开庭 1 5分钟,法官就驳回了对我的指控.我无罪获释.可怜的警方败诉,我的律师甚至让法庭责成警方承担了诉讼费用. I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my fatherfound out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor.

How dare you arrest me!Then they, presumably, would have apologized, perhaps even taken offtheir caps, and let me on my way.第二单元不肯告发的女人〝我从来就不恨北方佬,我所恨的只是战争??〞我的姨婆贝蒂一讲起她的故事来,总是用这样的话开头.她的故事,在我还小的时候就听过多遍.姨婆住在弗吉尼亚贝利维尔一所旧房子里.每逢我们一家去看望她,她都要讲讲她的故事,那时姨婆贝蒂都快80岁了.但我可以想象到故事里她的容貌——刚刚_岁,长着一双亮晶晶的蓝眼睛,非常漂亮.贝蒂?范?米特完全有理由憎恨内战.她有个兄弟死在葛底斯堡战场上,还有一位当了俘虏.接着,她年轻的丈夫詹姆斯——南部邦联的一名军官——也被俘虏,关到某地一所不为人知的俘虏营里.9月下旬的一个热天,贝蒂家以前的奴隶迪克?朗纳来到贝蒂处,告诉她一件奇怪的事.他在察看离范?米特家半英里处的一所农舍时,本以为那是所空房子,但在屋里,他听到有人低声呻吟.他随着呻吟声来到顶楼,发现了一名受伤的联邦政府士兵,在他的身边放着一支步枪.贝蒂姨婆跟我讲起她第一次看到那个身着污渍斑斑的蓝军服.长着胡须的人时,她总是说,〝我就像步入一场梦境:可怕的绷带,吓人的气味.孩子,那才是战争的真实写照:没有军号,也没有战旗.有的只是痛苦和污秽,无益与死亡.〞在贝蒂?范?米特眼里,这个伤兵不是敌人,而是一个受苦受难的人.她给他水喝,并设法擦净他那可怕的伤口.然后她走出农舍,到外面呼吸一点清凉的空气,她倚在屋旁,想到她所见到的这一切——他那只打烂的右手,那条失去的左腿,真是恶心难忍.贝蒂在顶楼上找到的伤兵的证件,证实他的身份是第十一佛蒙特志愿军D连中尉亨利?比德尔,30岁.她知道应该把这个联邦政府军官的情况向南方邦联的军队报告,可是她也明白她不会那样做.她是这样向我解释的:〝我一直在想,他是不是在什么地方有一位妻子,等着他,盼着他,可又毫无音信——就像我一样.在我看来,唯一重要的事是让她的丈夫重新田到她的身旁.〞詹姆斯?范?米特的妻子慢慢地.耐心地.巧妙地．点燃了亨利?比德尔身上奄奄一息的生命火花.要说药品,她几乎没有.而她又不肯从南方邦联医院里极少的一点医药用品里去拿.但她尽其所有作了一切努力.当比德尔的体力有所恢复时,他向贝蒂叙说了他在佛蒙特韦斯菲尔德的妻子和子女的J晴况.当贝蒂讲起她的兄弟和詹姆斯时,比德尔也仔细倾听着.贝蒂姨婆总是跟我讲,〝我知道他的妻子一定在为他祈祷,就像我为詹姆斯祈祷一样.真奇怪,我和她的感情多么接近.〞山谷地带,_月的夜晚变得越来越冷.比德尔的伤田感染突然加剧.在迪克和他妻子詹尼的帮助下,贝蒂趁黑夜将这位联邦政府军官搬到她自家暖和的厨房上面的一个不易发现的阁楼上.但在第二天,比德尔发起高烧.贝蒂明白她必须求人帮助,否则他将会死去,因此找到她的家庭医生,多年的朋友格雷厄姆?奥斯本.奥斯本医生为比德尔作了检查,然后摇摇头说,希望甚微,除非能弄到合适的药品. 〝那好,〞贝蒂说.〝我到哈珀斯渡口北方军那儿去弄!〞医生说她想必疯了.联邦政府军的司令部在将近⒛英里之外,即使找到了北方军,他们也决不会相信她的话.〝我把证据带去,〞贝蒂说.她到阁楼上取下一份血迹斑斑的文件,上面盖着陆军部的官印.〝这是他最后一次晋升的记录,〞她说.〝我让他们看这个,他们一定会相信我.〞她叫医生写下所需药品的清单.次日一早,她就登程赶路.她驱车5个小时,马要休息时,她才停一停.当她终于到达哈珀斯渡口,找到司令官的时候,太阳都快落山了.约翰?D?史蒂文森将军听了她的叙述,但不信她的话.他说,〝夫人,我们已接到比德尔阵亡的报告.〞〝他还活着,〞贝蒂坚持说.〝不过,除非他得到单子上的药品,否则他就活不了多久了.〞〝好吧,〞将军最后说,〝我不想为了搞清这r点事,而拿一个巡逻队的生命去冒险.〞他转向一个下级军官说,〝你负责让范?米特太太得到这些药品.〞他对贝蒂的感谢并没有怎么理会,却说道,〝不管你讲的是真是假,你是一位勇敢的女性.〞有了贝蒂带回贝利维尔的药品,奥斯本医生才将比德尔从垂危之中拯救了过来._天之后,比德尔就能拄着迪克为他制作的拐杖一瘸一拐地行走了.〝我不能再这样连累你了,〞比德尔对贝蒂说道,〝我现在身体已经够好了,可以走了.我想尽早回去.〞于是,他们作了安排,由贝蒂的邻居和朋友萨姆先生用他的运货马车协助贝蒂将比德尔送交驻守在哈珀斯渡口的联邦政府军司令部.他们将贝蒂的马和萨姆先生的骡一起套上车.比德尔躺在一个装满干草的旧木箱内,他将步枪和拐杖放在身边.行程迟缓而漫长,差一点以灾难而告终.在离联邦政府军防线仅有1小时的路程时,突然出现了两个骑马的人.一个人举着手枪,逼着要钱.另一人将萨姆从车上拉了下来,贝蒂吓呆了,坐着一动不动.就在这时,一声枪响,拿手枪的歹徒应声倒地身亡.又一声枪响,另一个歹徒也躺倒地上.是比德尔开的枪!贝蒂看着他放下步枪,掸掉头发里的干草.〝上车吧,萨姆先生,〞他说道,〝我们赶路吧!〞在哈珀斯渡口,士兵们惊奇地盯着这位老农民和这位年轻的女子看.当缺了一条腿的联邦政府军官从装着干草的木箱里站起来时,他们更是惊愕不已.比德尔被派去华盛顿.在华盛顿,他把情况向陆军部长埃德温?M?斯坦顿作了汇报.斯坦顿给贝蒂写了一封感谢信,并签署了一项将詹姆斯?范?米特从战俘营释放的命令.可是首先必须找到詹姆斯.经过安排,由比德尔陪同贝蒂寻找她的丈夫.有文件记载,有个叫詹姆斯?范?米特的曾被送到俄亥俄的一个战俘营.可是当那些衣衫褴褛的俘虏们被带到贝蒂面前时,詹姆斯却不在里面.又查了一个俘虏营,结果也是一样.贝蒂?范?米特拼命抑制着一种令人战栗不已的恐惧感,她担心她的丈夫已经死去了.后来在特拉华堡,在靠近一排战俘的末尾处,一个高高个子的人从队伍里走了出来,蹒跚着扑到贝蒂怀里.贝蒂拥抱着他,泪流满面.拄着拐杖站立一旁的亨利?比德尔也流泪了. I never did hate the Yankees. All that I hated was the war...That s how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house inBerryville, Virginia. Aunt Bettie was almost 80 years old then. But I couldpicture her as she was in the story she told me- barely _, pretty, with bright blue eyes.Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. One of her brothers was killed at Gettysburg, another taken prisoner. Then her younghusband, James, a Confederate officer, was captured and sent to an un- known prison camp somewhere.One hot day in late September Dick Runner, a former slave, cameto Bettie with a strange report. He had been checking a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home, a farmhouse he thought wasempty. But inside, he heard low groans. Following them to the attic, he found a wounded Union soldier, with a rifle at his side.When Aunt Bettie told me about her first sight of the bearded man in the stained blue uniform, she always used the same words. It was like walking into a nightmare : those awful bandages, that dreadful smell. That s what war is really like, child: no bugles and banners. Just pain andfilth, futility and death.To Bettie Van Metre this man was not an enemy but rather a suffering human being. She gave him water and tried to clean his terrible wounds. Then she went out into the cool air and leaned against the house, trying not to be sick as she thought of what she had seen-that smashed right hand, that missing left leg.The man s papers Bettie found in the attic established his identity: Lt.Hey Bedell, Company D, North Vermont Volunteers, 30 years old. She knew that she should report the, presence of this Union officer to the Con-federate army. But she also knew that she would not do it. This is howshee_plained it to me: I kept wondering if he had a wife somewhere, wait- ing, and hoping, and not knowing- just as I was. It seemed to me that the only thing that mattered was to get her husband back to her. 篇三:大学英语精读第三版第三册课后答案大学英语精读第三册第三版(上海外语教育出版社)答案第三版Unit11) accent2) turn against3) a couple of4) takes his time5) fate6) confirmed7) witness8) subsequent9) stands a chance_) trial1) belief2) brilliant3) employment4) has saved up5) stood a chance6) were awarded7) Presumably8) conducted9) casual_) around (which student life) revolves1) Joe wrote to say that he had to put off his visit because of his illness.2) Despite the noise, they went on working as if nothing were happening.3) Traffic was held up for several hours by the accident.4) Called (up) on to speak at the meeting, I couldn t very well refuse.5) Mrs. Stevenson looked in the cupboard and found there was not a single lump of sugar left.6) It was the rumor that turned Joe against his twin brother.7) We wondered how Sara was getting on in her new job.8) Although Anne agreed with me on most points, there was one on which she was unwilling to give in.9) Visitors could photograph almost anything here without having to ask for permission._) Whether we make an e_cursion or stay home will depend on tomorrow s weather.1) uncertain,unafraid,unacceptable,unfamiliar,unequal;2) unanswered,unattached,unknown,undecided,une_pected;3)unhappily,unskillfully,unconsciously,unnecessarily,uncomfortably;4) unsay,undress,untie,unlock,unload.1) reliable2) changeable3) enjoyable4) e_haustible5) permissible6) regrettable7) breakable8) imaginable9) workable_) applicable1) countercharge2) counterattack3) counterpart4) counteract5) countermeasures6) Counterculturists1) Liz sang perfectly in the town hall yesterday afternoon.2) I saw your brother and his girlfriend walking arm in arm in the park the other day.3) It began to blow quite hard before midnight.4) They moved the piano into another room upstairs last evening.5) Come to my office at ten o clock.6) I was still living alone at home at the time.7) Believe it or not, I ran into your cousin in a shop in New York three weeks ago.8) The old couple were sitting quite happily in the garden at this time yesterday.1) It turned out that his methods didn t work at all.2) It turned out that the necklace was not made of diamond, but of glass.3) It turned out that the lost money had been in the safe all the time!4) It turned out that the e_periment was much more difficult than they had supposed.5) It has turned out that your nephew is the most suitable person for the job.6) To his surprise, it turned out that the fashionable young lady he spoke to was a pickpocket.1) Given his age, it was indeed a miracle that he had done so much in so short a time.2) Given that they are fresh from university, the young people have done a good job.。
