He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he isn’t a foreigner. He says thatin Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you know, and beca use that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on through generatio n to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He often missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professional dancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know – but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet school, Carlos wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet. He decided to work hard and three years later, at 16, he traveled to Europefor the first time. That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

I don’t believe you!Group discussionScriptsI = Interviewer; W = WriterI: We are very pleased to have you here, George. Shall we start from the beginning?

I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way? W: That’s a good question.

That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country. A kind of experiment, really.I: That sounds interesting. Why did you give it up then?W: It was very hard work. I was also busy working on my second novel …Further practice in listeningShort conversationsScriptsConversation 1W: Hi, John. I’m back. Did any of my friends call me? We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up.M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once.Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example. W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising. Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made C harlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time. He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s f ilms? Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see. The computer, the car, the phone?No, I think it’s the light bulb. This invention has changed the world more than anything else. Q: Which invention does the man think changed the world most? Conversation 5W: Our play last night was a great success. We’re all proud of Bob. M: Yes. But if Bob had remembered all his lines, his performance would have been more natural.Q: What does the man mean?Long conversationScriptsW: Hey, Bob, I’m taking care of my cousin this weekend. Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books.M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that once she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London … no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right? W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between London and Manchester. But she did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall asleep. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again. M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview?I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter? Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakeswere just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Step hen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives.They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.。

She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again. M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview?I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books! W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter? Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakeswere just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Step hen’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home before, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should change fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives.They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes a little while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.。
新视野大学英语第三版第一册课文原文
Unit 1 Fresh StartText A Toward a brighter future for allToward a brighter future for all1 Good afternoon! As president of the university, I am proud to welcome you to this university. Your achievement is thetriumph of years of hard work, both of your own and of your parents and teachers. Here at the university, we pledge to make your educational experience as rewarding as possible.2 In welcoming you to the university, I am reminded of my own high school graduation and the photograph my mom took of my dad and me. "Posenaturally," Mom instructed us. "Wait!" said Dad, "Let's take a picture of me handing him an alarm clock." The clock woke me up every morning in college. It is still on my office desk.3 Let me share with you something that you may not expect. You will miss your old routines and your parents' reminders to work hard and attain your best. You may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with high school, and your parents may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with doing your laundry! But know this: The future is built on a strong foundation of the past.4 For you, these next four years will be a time unlike any other. Here you are surrounded by great resources: interesting students from all over the country, a learned and caring faculty, a comprehensive library, great sports facilities, and student organizations covering every possible interest from the arts to science, to community service and so on. You will have the freedom to explore and learn about new subjects. You will learn to get by on very little sleep, meet fascinating people, and pursue new passions. I want to encourage you to make the most of this unique experience, and to use your energy and enthusiasm to reap the benefits of this opportunity.5 You may feel overwhelmed by the wealth of courses available to you. You will not be able to experience them all, but sample them widely! College offers many things to do and to learn, and each of them offers a different way to see the world. If I could give you only one piece of advice about selecting courses, it would be this: Challenge yourself! Don't assume that you know in advance what fields will interest you the most. Take some courses in fields you've never tried before. You will not only emerge as a more broadly educated person, but you will also stand a better chance of discovering an unsuspected passion that will help to shape your future. A wonderful example of this is the fashion designer, V era Wang, who originally studied art history. Over time, Wang paired her studies in art history with her love of fashion and turned it into a passion for design, which made her a famous designer around the world.6 Here at the university, it may not always be pleasant to have so many new experiences all at once. In your dorm, the student next door may repeatedly play the one song, which gives you a giant headache! You may be an early bird while your roommate is a night owl! And still, you and your roommate may become best friends. Don't worry if you become a little uncomfortable with some of your new experiences. I promise you that the happy experiences will outweigh theunpleasant ones. And I promise that virtually all of them will provide you with valuable lessons which will enrich your life. So, with a glow in your eye and a song in your heart, step forward to meet these new experiences!7 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?8 We take great pleasure in opening the door to this great step in your journey. We take delight in the many opportunities which you will find, and in the responsibilities that you will carry as citizens of your communities, your country, and the world.

For us, this part is bittersweet. As you go off to college, exciting new worlds will open up to you. They will inspire and challenge you; you will grow in incredible ways.2 This is also a moment of sadness. Your departure to college makes it undeniably clear that you are no longer a child. There has been no greater joy than watching you arrive at this moment. You have turned our greatest challenge into our greatest pride. Although we have brought you to this point, it is hard to watch you depart. Remember above all things, we will miss you.3 College will be the most important time of your life. It is here that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often ask, "Why do I need to know this?" I encourage you to stay inquisitive, but remember this: "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." What you learn is not as important as the fact that you learn. This is the heart of scholarship: moving from teacher-taught to master-inspired, on over to the point where you become a self-learner. So, take each subject seriously, and if something doesn't immediately engage you, don't despair. Embrace it as a challenge. Find a way to make it your own.4 Of course, you must still take care to sign up for courses which stimulate your passion you’re your intellectual capacity. Don't be bound by what other people think. Steve Jobs said, when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connectthem. So, don't worry too much about what job you will have; don't be too practical. If you like French or Korean, study it even if someone else tells you that it's not useful. Enjoy picking your "dots". Be assured that one day, you will find your own meaningful career, and you will connect a beautiful curve through those dots.5 You know that we always want you to do your best, but don't let the pressure of grades get to you. We care only that you try your very best, and that you learn. It is better that your greatest effort earns a lesser grade than that no effort earns you a decent or higher grade. Grades in the end are simply letters fit to give the vain something to boast about, and the lazy something to fear. You are too good to be either. The reward is not the grade but what you learn.6 More importantly, make friends and trust others. The friends you make in college can be the best ones you will ever have. During these years, when you move into adulthood, the friends you make in college live closer to you than your family. You will form bonds of friendship that will blossom over many decades. Pick friends who are genuine and sincere. Select a few and become truly close to them. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, or looks. Instead, trust your instincts when you make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person; anyone would enjoy your friendship. So be confident, secure, and proactive. If you think you like someone, tell them. You have very little to lose. Don't be afraid to trust. Give others the benefit of the doubt, and don't reduce anyone to stereotypes. Nobody is perfect; as long as others are genuine, trust them and be good to them. They will give back.7 Remember also that your youth is full of strength and beauty, something that you will not comprehend until it is gone. You must guard and cultivate your strength and beauty. A healthy body and a sound mind are the greatest instruments you will ever possess. Enjoy life. Dance if you feel like it. Don't be afraid of what other people think. But also keep yourself safe and sound. Don't let the range of new experiences take your innocence, health, or curiosity away from you. Treasure your youth and the university experience before you.8 College is the time when you have: the first taste of independence, the greatest amount of free time, the most flexibility to change, the lowest cost for making mistakes.9 Approach these years enthusiastically! Make the most of your time. Become the great thinker you were born to be. Let your talents evolve to their fullest potential. Be bold! Experiment! Learn and grow! We are enormously proud that you've made it this far, and we can't wait to see what you will become.Your fatherUnit 2 Loving parents, loving childrenText A A child’s clutter awaits an adult’s return1 I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, tooexpensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gasefficiency and easy topark. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could.2 "I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"3 I thought, is that true? Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?4 Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.5 She left a mess. Her bathroom is anembarrassment of damp towels, rusted shavingblades, hair in the sink, and nearly empty tubes oftoothpaste. I bring a box of big black garbage bags upstairs. Eye shadow, face cream, nail polish — all go into the trash. Idump drawers, sweep shelves clear and clean the sink. When I am finished, it is as neat and impersonal as a hotel bathroom.6 In her bedroom I findmismatched socks under her bed and purple pants on the closetfloor. Desk drawers are filed with school papers, field by year and subject. I catch myself reading through poems and essays, admiring high scores on tests and reading her name, printed or typed neatly in the upper right-hand corner of each paper. I pack the desk contents into abox. Six months, I think. I will give her six months to collect her belongings, and then I will throw them all away. That is fair. Grown-ups pay for storage.7 I have to pause at the books. Comic books, teenfiction, romantic novels,historical novels, and textbooks. A lifetime of reading; each bookbeloved. I want to be practical, to stuff them in paper sacks for the used bookstore. But I love books as much as she does, so I stack them onto a single bookshelf to deal with later.8 I go for her clothes. Dresses, sweaters, and shoes she hasn't worn since seventh grade are placed into garbage bags. I am a plague of locusts emptying the closet. Two piles grow to clumsyheights: one for charity, the other trash.9 There are more shoes, stuffed animals, large and small posters, hair bands, and pink hair curlers. The job grows larger the longer I am at it. How can one girl collect so much in only 18 years?10 I stuff the garbage bags until the plastic strains. Ihaul them down the stairs, two bags at a time. Donations to charity go into the trunk of my car; trash goes to the curb. I'm earning myself sweat andsore shoulders.11 She left the bedroom aridiculous mess, the comforter on the floor, the sheets tossedaside. Istrip off the comforter, blanket, sheets, and pillows. Once she starts feeding coins into laundry machines, she'll appreciate the years of clean clothes I've provided for free.12 I will turn her room into a crafts room. Or create the fancy guest room I've always wanted.13 I turn the bed over. A large brown envelope is marked "DO NOT THROW AW AY." I open it. More papers. I dump the contents onto the floor. There are old family photographs, letters, greeting cards, and love notes from us to her. There are comics clipped from newspapers and magazines. Every single item in this envelope has passed from our hands to hers. These are all things that we gave her. Suddenly, I feel very emotional.14 "DO NOT THROW AW AY."15 My kid — my clutter bug— knows me too well. As I read through the cards and notes, I think maybe the truck wasn't such a bad idea, after all. Maybe it helps her to feel less small in a big world.16 I reverse myself and bring back the garbage bags from the car and the curb. Clothes and shoes go back into the closet. I remake the bed and pile it with stuffed animals. My husband comes home and calls up the stairs.17 "Just straightening up," I tell him. "Can you find some boxes for her stuff?"18 He brings up boxes from the basement.19 "She left a mess," he says.20 "I don't mind," I reply. Silence.21 Then he says softly, "She's not coming back." I feel my throat tighten at the sadness in his voice. I try hard to keep back my tears.22 My little baby, my dependent child, isn't coming back. But someday my daughter, the independent woman, will return home. Tokens of her childhood will await her. So will we, with open arms.Text B Time slows down1 "Daddy, let's take a walk."2 It's an April day in Virginia. He nods, puts his hands on the arms of his wheelchair, whispers something that makes little sense. I try to help him up, but he is too heavy andlimp.3 "Come for a walk, and then — I've brought you a surprise."4 The white curtains surge in the breeze.5 Shivering, he complains it's chilly. "It's cold, I'm tired. Can't we go home now?"6 Suddenly we're far away in a time long past in part of a harbor I've never seen before. December, Chicago, I'm five, and cold. One glove is lost. My feet are tired. His legs are longer; he strides quickly through melting snow, toward buildings like airplane sheds withimmense doors.7 This is the most exciting place I have ever been. Suddenly my fatigue is gone. I could walk along here forever, at least until I find out how to get aboardone of the boats.8 We slow down our pace. Smaller sheds now. A green diner. Smells of fish and smoke. We enter a little hut. Barrels of salty water, string bags ofshellfish, bundles of fish laid out on ice.9 "Daddy, look at that snake!"10 "No, that's an eel," says Daddy. "Smoked. We'll take a portion home for supper."11 "I certainly won't eat that!"12 "All right," he says, and carries the smelly package. As we walk back, he tells me aboutmigrations of eels to the Sargasso Sea: how eels come down Dalmatian rivers and swim across the Mediterranean and then the whole Atlantic, until they reach the warm Sargasso Sea. Here they lay their eggs, and then the baby eels swim back to the native rivers of their parents.13 Back at last in the apartment, he unwraps the eel, opens his pocket knife and slices carefully.14 "I won't eat it," I saysuspiciously.15 "Try one bite, just for me."16 "I won't like it."17 While he hangs up our coats, I test one pinch. Smelly, smoky, and salty.18 He goes into the kitchen to heat milk for me and tea for himself. I test another pinch. Then another. He returns with the steaming cups.19 The eel has vanished.20 Because it is Sunday and I am five, he forgives me. Time slows down and the love flows in —father to daughter and back again.21 At 19, I fly out to Japan. My father and I climb Mount Fuji. High above the Pacific, andhours up the slope, we picnic on dried eel, seaweed crackers, and cold rice wrapped in the eel skin. He reaches thepeak first.22 As the years stretch, we walk along waterways all over the world. With his long stride, he often overtakes me. I've never known anyone with such energy.23 Some days, time flies with joy all around. Other days, time rots like old fish.24 Today in the nursing home in Virginia, anticipating his reluctance, I beg boldly and encourage him, "Please, Daddy, just a little walk.You are supposed to exercise."25 He can't get out of his chair. Not that he often gets up on his own, but once in a while he'll suddenly have a surge of strength. I stoop to lift his feet from the foot restraints, fold back the metal pieces which often scrape his delicate, paper-thin skin. "Come, now you can stand."26 He grips the walker and struggles forward. Gradually I lift and pull him to his feet. Standing unsteadily, he sways and then gains his balance.27 "See, you made it! That's wonderful! All right, I'll be right behind you, my hand in the small of your back. Now — forward, march!"28 He is impatient with the walker as I accompany him to the dining room. I help him to his chair, and hand him a spoon. It slips from his fingers. Pureed tuna is heaped on a plastic plate. I encourage him, sing him old songs, tell stories, but he won't eat. When I lift a spoonful of gray fishy stuff to his mouth, he says politely, "I don't care for any."29 Nor would I.30 Then I take the small smelly package covered in white wrapping paper from a plastic bag. He loves presents, and he reaches forward with awkward fingers to try to open it. The smell fills the room.31 "Look, Daddy, they've been out of it for months, but at last this morning at the fish seller near the Potomac, I found some smoked eel."32 We unwrap it, and then I take out the Swiss Army Knife my beloved aunt gave me "for safekeeping", and slice the silvery flesh.33 "What a beautiful picnic," my father beams.34 He takes a sip of his champagne, and then with steady fingers picks up a slice of eel and downs it easily. Then another, and another, until he eats the whole piece. And again, time slows down and the love flows in — daughter to father and back again.Unit 3 Digital CampusText A College life in the Internet age1 The college campus, long a place of scholarship and frontiers of new technology, is beingtransformed into a new age of electronics by afleet of laptops, smartphones and connectivity 24 hours a day.2 On a typical modern-day campus, where every building and most outdoor common areas offer wireless Internet access, one student takes her laptop everywhere. In class, she takes notes with it, sometimes instant-messaging or emailing friends if the professor is less than interesting. In her dorm, she instant-messages her roommate sitting just a few feet away. She is tied to her smartphone, which she even uses to text a friend who lives one floor above her, and which supplies music for walks between classes.3 Welcome to college life in the 21st century, where students on campus are electronically linked to each other, to professors and to their classwork 24/7 in an ever-flowing river of information and communication. With many schools offering wireless Internet access anywhere on campus, colleges as a group have become the most Internetaccessible spots in the world.4 Students say they really value their fingertip-access to the boundless amount of information online, and the ability to email professors at 2 a.m. and receive responses the next morning. "I always feel like I have a means of communication —in class and out of class," says oneengineering major.5 Many are using smartphones, not only to create their own dialectswhen texting, but also to do more serious work, such as practicing foreign languages and analyzingscripts from their theater classes. In a university class on the history of American radio, students use smartphones to record their own radio shows. The course instructor said, "It's adding to students' sense of excitement about the subject." Professors have been encouraged to tape their lectures and post them online. "We realized there might be some potential for a devicethat could get attention and encouragesophisticated thinking," says one leading university director.6 For mostundergraduates, 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 adoptthese 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 their friends. But in doing so, students must remember to regulate and balance their time. Too much time online can mean too little time in real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. Students should not let the Internet world on their computer screens take them away from the real world outside.7 Colleges began embracing Internet access in the mid-1990s, when many began wiring dorms with high-speed connections. In the past few years, schools have taken the lead by turning their campuses intobubbles of Wi-Fi networks. In fact, a recent study in the US found that informationtechnology accounted for 5% to 8% of college budgets, up from an estimated 2% to 3% in the mid-1980s.8 On one campus, students use Wi-Fi to fire off instant messages, review their homeworkassignments, and check their bank balances. Just nine miles down thehighway, another university had been feeling a bit of a technologyinferiority complex. Tocompensate, it spent tens of thousands of dollars to give every one of its incoming freshmen a free Apple iPad.9 Some universities even require that all students own or lease a laptop. Some say the focus on technology prepares students for a wired world. "You have to keep up with the rest of the world. Students expect high-bandwidth information, and if you can't deliver it, you're at acompetitive disadvantage," states a university president.10 Other colleges are straining to stand out from their peers. The race to attract students with the most modern networks and the hottest systems has reached fever pitch. Some business majors are receiving free portablecomputers. In an always-connected mode, they can get information anytime and anywhere they need. One university is even giving its freshmen new smartphones to enrich the student experience and prepare them for success in a rapidly changing world.11 For those who prefer to travel laptop-free, colleges supply several computer labs. And for students who study late into the night, many have set up 24-hour repair shops where students can get their laptops fixed by the next day and receive aloaner in the meantime.12 Colleges around the world have been replacing their computer systems for the past decade, in large part to provide students with the most advanced free system. The anywhere-anytime access has already yieldedamazing benefits in education. With the widespread application of computer technologies, we are going to produce a generation of problem-solvers and intelligentthinkers, which is indispensable for the future of the world.Text B Too much of a good thing-a real addiction1 The college campus, long a place of scholarship and frontiers of new technology, is beingtransformed into a new age of electronics by afleet of laptops, smartphones and connectivity 24 hours a day.2 On a typical modern-day campus, where every building and most outdoor common areas offer wireless Internet access, one student takes her laptop everywhere.

In Cuba he is n’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you kn ow, and becau se that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on thro ugh generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family.

I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way?W: That’s a good question. You see, it was my experience there that inspired my film Lost in the Forest, although I didn’t actually make that film until several years later, in 2008.I: When did you start making films?W: In 2003. That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country.

We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up. M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once. Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example.W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising.Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time.He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s films?Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see.

Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books. M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that o nce she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London …no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between Londonand Manchester. But sh e did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall aslee p. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books!W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture orpunishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So toget her they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephe n’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home befor e, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should ch ange fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes alittle while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.
