UNIT 17.We have confidence that your journey toward self-discovery and your progress toward finding your own passion will yield more than personal advancement. We believe that as you become members of our community of scholars, you will soon come to recognize that with the abundant opportunities for self-enrichment provided by the university, there also come responsibilities, A wise man said: "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. You are the inheritors of the hard work of your families and the hard work of many countless others who came before you. They built and transmitted the knowledge you will need to succeed. Now it is your turn. What knowledge will you acquire? What passions will you discover?What will you do to build a strong and prosperous future for the generations that will come after you?UNIT 36.For most undergraduates, non-stop Internet connectivity is the fuel of college life. More than just toys, these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of virtually every kind of information. And as more people around the world adopt these instruments, they are becoming indispensable. So, students should use the wonders of the Internet to do homework, review lecture outlines, take part in class discussions and network online with visiting with friends. Students should not let the Internet world on their computer screens take them away from the real world outside.12.Colleges around the world have been replacing their computer systems for the decade, in large part to provide students with the most advanced free system anywhere-anytime access has already yielded amazing benefits in education. With the widespread application of computer technologies, we are going to produce a generation of problem-solvers and intelligent thinkers, which is indispensable for the future of the world.UNIT 47. It used to be that the word hero was reserved for those who performed acts of distinct courage beyond the call of duty. A soldier who runs through gunfire to rescue other military personnel is seen as a hero. So are larger–than–life leaders such as Nelson Mandela , who emerged after 27 years of jail, confined in a solitary chamber. He made the choice not to be bitter, and worked hard as South Africa's first black president to establish harmony and helped society reconcile its conflicted past.13.The inspiring stories of heroes help remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things, whether it is in the fulfillment of their duties or as part of everyday life. We honor the fireman, the policeman, and the average citizen by recognizing their heroism. Perhaps, evermore importantly, we honor them by workingto change the circumstances that led to their death. By honoring them we can be inspired by them. Will we be heroes when circumstances call on us to act heroically?Hopefully, we will!UNIT 61. There are numerous and reliable ways by which one can measure the impact of loyment on student achievement, and we used several in our research. We compared the grades of students whoyaib a great deal with those who work in limited amounts or not at all. We also cont asted workers with non-workers, on differentindicators of their commitment to education. Additionally, we followed students over time as they increased or decreased their work hours, and we assessed how different patterns of employment altered school performance and engagement.4.Whereas it is true that more disengaged students are more likely to work long hours to begin with, it appears that working makes a marginal situation worse. In other words,over time, the more students work the less committed to school they become.When students withdraw from the labor force or cut back on their work hours,however,the results are striking: Their interest in schools is generated anew This then is good news: The negative effects of working on schooling are not permanent.UNIT 76. Like the Lincoln tale, every society has stories stressing the absolute value of honesty It is these stories that students need to remember when temptation induces them to cheat. Whether discovered or not, dishonesty has an undesirable effect on anyone who practices it. Equally importantly, the ill effects are not confined to the dishonest person alone. Without trust, ordered societies would descend into chaos. It's important thatwe do what we say we will do, pay when we say we will, and create words that are our own. Perhaps the most important lesson our schools can teach is that we must trust each other. When honesty disappears, the affirmative, durable bonds of trust are eliminated and we all lose. The future of our society depends on mutual trust.。
