UNIT1Summer ReadingMichael Dorris1When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns, and within a few weeks I had built upa body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of t hem when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most im portant. (1) And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of paym ent: by the job, by the month ─ or not at all.2 Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day he had no changefor a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. S till, except for the money part, he was a nice enough old guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he'd see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-related injury that kept him fro m doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didn't worry about the amount too much. (2) Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou's property comprised didn't take long to trim.3 Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and heopened the door, motioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to a djust to the dim light.4 "I owe you," Mr. Ballou began, "but…" 5 I thought I'd save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse. "No problem. Don't worry about it."6 "The bank made a mistake in my account," he continued, ignoring my words. "It will be cleared up in a day or two. But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down pay ment."7 He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.8 "Take your time," Mr. Ballou encouraged. "Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?"9 "I don't know." And I didn't. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The id ea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal ─ so I started to look through the piles of books.10 "You actually read all of these?" 11 "This isn't much," Mr. Ballou said. "This is nothing, just what I've kept, the ones worth looking at a second time."" 12 "Pick for me, then." 13 He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark redhardbound book, fairly thick.14 "The Last of the Just," I read. "By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What's it about?" 16 I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. (3) Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disa ppeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, repres ented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night.- 6 - 17 To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary enco unter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week, when Mr. Ballou asked, "Well?" Ionly replied, "It was good."18 "Keep it, then," he said. "Shall I suggest another?" 19 I nodded, and was presented with thepaperback edition of Margaret Mead's Coming of Age in Samoa.20 To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. (4) Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (t hough I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the p roper season, at an interval in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.UNIT2Never Let a Friend DownJim Hutchison1 "Coming to the football match this afternoon?" Bill McIntosh asked 59-year-old Royce Wedding as they drank beer at the Eureka Hotel in the Australian town of Rainbow. Royce shook his head. "I promised Mo m I'd burn off the weeds on one of our fields."2Bill, who was thin but strong, looking far less than his 79 years, peered outside at the heat. A light breeze wa s blowing from the north, making conditions perfect for the burn. But Bill felt uneasy about Royce doing the j ob alone. The farmer had a bad leg and walked with great difficulty. 3 The pair had been best of friends fo r 30 years, ever since the days when they traveled together from farm to farm in search of work. Now, living alone 12 miles east of town, Bill scraped a living hunting foxes and rabbits. Once a fortnight he went to town to buy supplies and catch up with Royce, who helped run the Wedding family's farm. "I'll give you a hand," Bi ll said.3The pair set off in Royce's car. Soon they were bumping over a sandy track to the weed-choked 120-acre field . "Fire's the only way to get rid of this stuff," said Bill as they tied an old tire to the tow bar with a 50-foot cha in. Soaking the tire with gasoline, Bill put a match to it and jumped in the car.4 5 Driving slowly from the southern edge of the field, they worked their way upwind, leaving a line of burning weeds in their wake. Half way up the field, and without warning, the car pitched violently forward, plowinginto a hidden bank of sand.6 The breeze suddenly swung around to their backs and began to gather strength. Fanned to white heat, the fire line suddenly burst into a wall of flame, heading directly toward them. "Let's get out of here!" Roy ce said.7 Desperately he tried to back the car out of the sand bank. But the wheels only spun deeper in the soft sand.8 Suddenly the fire was on them. Bill pushed open his door only to find himself flung through the air as, with a roar, the gasoline tank exploded and the car leapt three feet off the ground. When it crashed back d own Royce found himself pinned against the steering wheel, unable to move. The car's seats and roof were n ow on fire.9 Bill lay where he fell, all the breath knocked out of him. The front of his shirt, shorts, bare arms and legs were soaked in burning gasoline. Then the sight of the car in flames brought him upright with a start. "Royce!" he cried, struggling to his feet and heading for the car.10 Pulling open the door, he seized Royce's arms through the smoke. "I'm stuck," Royce said. "Get yourself away!"11 (1) The fire bit at Bill's arms, face and legs, but he tightened his grip on Royce. "I'm not leaving you here," he said.12 Now Bill dug his heels into the sand and pulled as hard as he could. Suddenly he fell backward. Royce was free and out of the car. As soon as he had dragged him away he patted out the flames on Royce's b ody and on his own legs and arms with his bare hands.13 Royce saw a second explosion rock the car, as it was eaten up by flames. I'd be ashes now if Bill hadn't gotten me out, he thought. Looking down, Royce was shocked by the extent of his injuries. His stomach a nd left hip were covered in deep burns. Worse still, his fingers were burned completely out of shape.14 Lying on his back, Bill was in equally bad shape. Pieces of blackened flesh and skin hung from his forearms, hands and legs.15 Bill looked across at his friend. Reading the despair clouding Royce's face, Bill said, "I'll get help. You hang on." Royce nodded, but as he watched Bill set off slowly across the blackened field, he wondered how his fri end was going to walk almost two miles and get over three fences.16 (2) A lifetime spent around the tough people who make their home in the Australian bush had permanently fixed into Bill's soul two principles: never give up no matter how bad the odds and never let a friend down. Now, with every step sending pain piercing through every part of his body, he drew on those twin pillars of character.(3) If I don't make it, Royce will die out there, he told himself over and over.17 "What's the matter with that dog?" said Vicky Wedding, Royce's mom, peering out her window. Startled by a noise behind her, she turned to see Bill leaning against the door.18 "Dear God, what happened?" she exclaimed, grabbing Bill as he slid down the doorframe.19 "We got caught in the fire," he whispered, barely able to speak. "Get help." Vicky sat Bill down, covered him in wet towels to ease the pain of his burns, and then picked up the phone.20 Throughout the bumpy, hour-and-a-half ride to the hospital in Horsham, neither of the two injuredmen spoke of their pain. "We should've gone to the football match," Royce said, trying to keep their spirits u p. Bill grinned weakly.21 Not long after Bill found himself at Government House being presented with the Bravery Medal forhis courageous rescue. (4) But the real highlight for Bill came six months after the fire, when Royce, just out of hospital, walked into the Eureka Hotel and bought him a beer.22 "We made it," said Royce as they raised their glasses. "Here's to the best friend a man could have."UNIT31 New Drugs Kill Cancer2 Devastation by El Niño ─ a Warning3 6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?5When these headlines appeared this year, their stories became the subjects of conversations around the wor ld ─ talks spiced with optimism and confusion. Imagine the hopes raised in the millions battling cancer. Did t he news mean these people never had to worry about cancer again? Or that we all had to worry about a cat astrophe from outer space or, more immediately, from El Niño?6 5 Unfortunately, science doesn't work that way. It rarely arrives at final answers. People battling cancer or victims of El Niño may find this frustrating, but the truth is that Nature does not yield her secrets easily. Science is done step by step. First an idea is formed. Then this is tested by an experiment. The outcome, one hopes, results in an increase in knowledge.6 Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. (1) The scientific method, as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins wi th a purpose or a problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are caref ully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time ─ and patience.7 It's the result of course, that makes the best news ─ not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues t o be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist's colleagues, who review the work. If the work is important enough, just before the report is published in a professional jo urnal or read at a conference, a press release is issued and an announcement is made to the world.8 The world may think that the announcement signifies the end of the process, but it doesn't. A publi cation is really a challenge: "Here is my result. Prove me wrong!" (2) Other researchers will try to repeat the experiment, and the more often it works, the better the chances that the result is sound. Einstein was right when he said: "No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong."9 In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite from Mars that might co ntain evidence of ancient life on another world. (3)As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time.10 After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. (4) Some concluded that the "evidence of life" was mostly contamina tion from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock.11 Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted?12 No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists sp end years on research, announce their findings, and these findings are examined by other scientists. That's h ow we learn. Like climbing a mountain, we struggle up three feet and fall back two. It's a process filled with d isappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.UNIT4Ben Carson: Man of MiraclesChristopher Phillips1 Ben Carson looked out at Detroit's Southwestern High School class of 1988. It was graduation day. A t 36, Carson was a leading brain surgeon, performing delicate and lifesaving operations. But 19 years before, he had graduated from this same inner-city school. He remembered it all ─ the depressing surroundings of one of Detroit's toughest, poorest neighborhoods. And he knew the sense of hopelessness and despair that many of these 260 students were feeling about the future.2 (1) For weeks he had worried over how to convince the graduates that they, too, could succeed agai nst seemingly impossible odds, that they could move mountains. Now, standing to deliver the main address, he held up his hands. "See these?"he asked the students. "I didn't always use them for surgery. When I was a little younger than you are, I often waved a knife with them to threaten people. And I even tried to kill some body."3 The students stared in disbelief.4 Ben and his older brother, Curtis, grew up in a crowded apartment building near the school. Their m other, Sonya, who had married at age 13 and divorced when Ben was eight, worked at two and sometimes th ree low-paying jobs at a time. She wanted a better life for her two sons and showered them with encourage ment. However, both boys started badly in school, especially Ben.5 Sonya recognized that Ben was bright. He just didn't seem motivated. "From now on,"she announced one afternoon, "you can watch only two TV shows a week. You have to read at least two books every week and give me reports so I know you really read them."6 At first Ben hated reading. Then, gradually, he discovered a new world of possibility. (2) Before long he was reading more books than his determined mother required, and he couldn't wait to share them with her.7 His mother studied the book reports closely. "That's a fine job, Bennie," she would tell her beamingson. What she didn't tell Ben or Curtis was that, with only a third-grade education, she couldn't read. 7"Mom," Ben announced one day, "When I grow up, I want to be a doctor."9 Sonya Carson smiled, knowing Ben must have just read a book on doctors. "You can be anything you wantto be," she assured him.10 With a goal now, young Ben soared from the bottom of his class toward the top. His teachers wereastonished. There was one thing, however, that Ben couldn't seem to conquer: his violent temper. (3) He boil ed with anger ─ anger at his departed father, anger at the hardships his mother faced, anger at all the wasted lives he saw around him.11 Then one afternoon, walking home from school, 14-year-old Ben started arguing with a friend. Pulling a camping knife, Ben thrust at the boy. The steel blade struck the youngster's metal belt buckle, and the b lade snapped. Ben's friend fled.12 Ben stood stone-still. "I almost killed someone!" he said quietly. There and then he made a decision. If he was ever going to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor and save others, he was first going to have to cure himself. Never again would he let his anger run away with him.13 In 1969 Ben graduated third in his class from Southwestern High and received a full scholarship to Yale. After Yale he obtained grants to study at the University of Michigan Medical School. This was the start ofa career that was to lead him, at age 33, to be appointed senior brain surgeon at Johns Hopkins hospital. From around the world, other surgeons came to seek his counsel.14 In April 1987 a German doctor arrived with the records of Siamese twins, newborns Patrick and Benjamin Binder. The boys had separate brains, but at the back of the heads, where they were joined, they shar ed blood vessels. Their mother refused to sacrifice either child to save the other. Surgeons knew of no other way to proceed. In many cases, when Siamese twins are separated at the back of the head, one child survive s and the other either dies or suffers severe mental injury.15 Carson came up with a plan to give both twins the best chance of survival: stop their hearts, drain their blood supply completely and restore circulation only after the two were safely separated.16 The entire operation took 22 hours and required a 70-person team. After the twins' hearts were stopped and their blood drained, Carson had only one hour to separate the damaged blood vessels. He worked smoothly and quickly, easing his instruments deep into the brains of the two infants. Twenty minutes afterstopping the twins' circulation, he made the final cut. Now, working with his team, he had 40 minutes to rec onstruct the blood vessels that had been cut open and close Patrick's head. Another team would do the same for Benjamin.17 Just within the hour limit, the babies were fully separated, and the operating tables were wheeledapart.18 Tired but happy, Dr. Carson went out to the waiting room. "Which one of your children would you like to see first?" he asked their mother.19 The students of Detroit's Southwestern High sat silently as Ben Carson described his life's journey from an angry street fighter to an internationally distinguished brain surgeon. "It's important that you know th ere are many ways to go," Dr. Carson told them. "Becoming a brain surgeon is perfectly possible. But you don 't have to be a surgeon. There are opportunities everywhere. You just have to be willing to take advantage of them. (4) Think big! Nobody was born to be a failure. If you feel you're going to succeed ─ and work your tail off ─ you will succeed!"20 Pausing, Ben Carson turned to his mother who was sitting in the front row.21 "I'd like to thank my mother," Carson said in closing, "for all the success I've had."22 Southwestern High's entire graduating class stood and clapped for a solid five minutes. Tears welled in Ben Carson's eyes.23 Afterward, Sonya Carson embraced her son fondly. "It's really true, Bennie," she said. "You can be anything you want to be. And you've done it!"UNIT5The WalletArnold Fine1 It was a year ago today when I came across a wallet in the street. (1) Inside was a letter that looked as if it had been carried around for years, dated 1924. The envelope was worn and all I could make out was t he return address. I opened the letter carefully, hoping for some clue to the identity of the owner of the wall et.2 It was signed Hannah and written to someone called Michael. She wrote that she could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. She would always love him, but felt it would be best if they never met again.3 It was a beautiful letter. (2)But there was no way, other than the name Michael, that the owner could be identified.4 The return address was nearby, so I called in. I asked if anyone there knew of a Hannah, and was tol d, "Oh, of course! We bought this house from her some time ago. She's in a nursing home now."5 They gave me the name of the home and I called the director. (3)I explained the situation and was in vited over, arriving to find him chatting to the door guard. We exchanged greetings and the director took me up to Hannah's room on the third floor of the large building.6 She was a sweet, silver-haired old lady with a warm smile, full of life. I told her about finding the wal let and took out the letter. The moment she saw it she recognized it. "Young man," she said, "this letter was t he last contact I had with Michael. I never heard from him again." She looked away for a moment in deep th ought and continued, "I loved him very much. I was 16 at the time and my mother felt I was much too young to even be seeing Michael. He was so handsome."7 Just then the director was called away and we were left alone. "Yes, Michael Goldstein was his name ," she began once more. "If you do find him, give him my regards and tell him I still think of him often. That... " She hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and added, "I still love him. You know..." she said, smiling through her tears, "I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael."8 At that moment the director returned. I thanked her and said goodbye. Downstairs the guard at the front door looked at me and asked, "Any luck? Was the old lady able to help you?"9 I told him she had given me a lead." But I think I'll let this go for a while. I spent almost a whole day t rying to find the owner of this wallet."10 I took it out and showed it to the guard.11 The guard took one look and said," (4)Hey, wait a minute. That's Mr. Goldstein's wallet. I'd know th at anywhere. He's always losing it."12 "Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I pressed him as my hand started to shake.13 "He's one of the old guys on the eighth floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet for sure. I'll take you up to him, if you like."14 We found Mr. Goldstein in his room and the security man asked if he had lost his wallet.15 Mr. Goldstein put his hand to his back pocket and, realizing it was empty, said, "Oh, my goodness. It is missing."16 "Could this be yours?" I asked, handing him the wallet.17 The second he saw it he smiled with relief and said, "Yes... yes... that's it. Thank you so much."18 "Not at all," I replied. "But I have to tell you something. I read the letter."19 The smile on his face disappeared. "You read the letter?"20 "Not only did I read it, I know where Hannah is."21 The blood left his face as he suddenly grew pale.22 "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was?"23 The security man looked at me suggesting that I not say any more.24 I hesitated.25 "Please! Please tell me!" he begged.26 "She's fine... just as pretty as when you knew her," I said softly.27 "Could you tell me where she is?" He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something... I was so i n love with that girl that when that letter came, my life seemed to come to an end. I never married. I guess I'l l always love her. Oh, she was beautiful... and so sweet." He smiled to himself.28 "Michael," I said. "Come with me."29 The three of us took the elevator down to the third floor. Hannah was sitting alone watching televis ion.30 "Hannah," the guard said softly. "Do you know this man?" She adjusted her glasses. She looked fora moment but didn't say a word.31 "Hannah, it's Michael. Do you remember me?"32 "Michael? I don't believe it! Michael? It's you! Michael!"33 He walked slowly to her side. Michael took her around the waist and she held him tight, whispering , "Michael... my darling Michael..."34 The two of them sat down on a sofa, holding hands, and started to talk. They had some sixty years' worth to catch up on. The guard and I walked out, both of us crying.35 Three weeks later I got a call from the director: "You're invited to a wedding. Michael and Hannah a re finally going to tie the knot! You know, the two of them were in this building for years and they never met, or if they did they didn't recognize each other."36 Hannah wore a light brown dress for the wedding and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue s uit and stood erect, like a soldier. The hospital gave them a special room together, and if you ever wanted to see a 79-year-old bride and an 81-year-old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple.UNIT6Do Animals Fall in Love?Jeffery Moussaieff Masson and Susan McCarthy1 Humans believe they know what love is, and value it highly. Yet many who study animal behavior are cautious about saying animals experience love, preferring to say they are not displaying "true love" but sim ply following the dictates of their genes.2 Is it really as simple as all that? What about the animals who stay together until one dies? Evolutionary bi ologists often say that pairing is a way to ensure adequate parental care, but it's not always clear this is the c ase. Some animals continue to accompany each other when not raising young. And they appear to exhibit so rrow or show a sense of loss when one of the pair dies.3 Konrad Lorenz, studying the behavior of geese, describes a typical example. Ado's mate, Susanne-Eli sabeth, was killed by a fox. He stood silently by her partly eaten body, which lay across their nest. In the follo wing days, he hung his head and his eyes became vacant. Because he did not have the heart to defend himse lf from the attacks of the other geese, his status in the flock fell sharply. A year went by. Finally Ado pulled hi mself together and found another mate.4 Animals may fall in love dramatically. According to Lorenz two geese are most likely to "fall in love" when they have known each other as youngsters, been separated and then meet again. (1) He compared this to a man who meets a woman and ─ astonished that she is the same girl he used to see running around in a school uniform ─ falls in love and marries her. According to parrot specialist Sue Athan, it is common for s ome parrots to fall in love at first sight.5 Instinct may urge animals to love, but it does not say whom they will love. Seeking a mate for a male parrot, Athan purchased a fine-feathered young female and introduced the two birds. To Athan's disappoint ment, "the male nevertheless acted like the female wasn't even in the room."6 A few months later Athan was given an older female in extremely poor condition. "She didn't have a feather from the neck down," she says. "Her feet were all twisted. She had lines around her eyes. And yet th e male thought she was the love of his life." The two birds immediately paired off and eventually produced y oung.7 (2) Zookeepers know, to their despair, that many species of animals will not breed with just any othe r animal of their species. Timmy, a gorilla in the Cleveland Zoo, declined to mate with two female gorillas intr oduced to him. But when he met a gorilla named Kate, they took to each other at once. When it was thought that Kate was unable to reproduce, because of her advanced age, zookeepers decided to send Timmy to ano ther zoo, where he might have a chance to breed successfully.8 Defending the zoo's decision to separate the animals, the zoo director said, "It sickens me when peo ple start to put human emotions in animals. We can't think of them as some kind of magnificent human bein g: they are animals. When people start saying animals have emotions, they cross the bridge of reality." Jane Goodall, whose work has shed light on the emotional life of chimpanzees, also writes, (3) I cannot think of ch impanzees developing emotions, one for the other, comparable in any way to the tenderness, protectiveness , tolerance and spiritual joy that are the mark of human love in its truest and deepest sense."9 Yet there is evidence of love in the devotion that members of pairs heap on each other. Geese, swan s and mandarin ducks are all symbols of marital faithfulness; field biologists tell us this is true to life. Coyotes , often thought of as representing trickery, would make equally good symbols of devotion, since they also for m lasting pairs. Observations indicate that they begin to form pair attachments before they are sexually active.10 In his study of coyotes, Hope Ryden tells how pairs can be observed curling up together, hunting mi ce together, and greeting each other with elaborate displays. Ryden describes two coyotes mating. Afterwar d, the female tapped the male with her paw and licked his face. Then they curled up to sleep. This looks a lot like romantic love. Whatever distinctions may be made between the love of two people and the love of two animals, the essence frequently seems the same.11 An animal raised by another species will often show affection for a member of that species when i t grows up. Gavin Maxwell tells of an otter called Tibby, who was raised by a man who lived on an island off t he coast of Scotland and who got around with the help of a walking stick. When he became seriously ill, he t ook Tibby to Maxwell and asked him to look after the otter. The man died not long after.12 Tibby made a habit of escaping and visiting the nearest village. There she found a man who used a walking stick. She tried to build a nest under his house, but he chased her away.。

8 The next year we grew even more food and managed to get through the winter on firewood that was mostly from our own trees and only 100 gallons of heating oil. At that point I began thinking seriously about quitting my job and starting to freelance. The timing was terrible。பைடு நூலகம்By then， Shawn and Amy， our oldest girls were attending expensive Ivy League schools and we had only a few thousand dollars in the bank。 Yet we kept coming back to the same question: Will there ever be a better time？ The answer， decidedly， was no， and so —— with my employer’s blessings and half a year’s pay in accumulated benefits in my pocket -- off I went.

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译Text A 大学——我一生中的转折点佚名作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。
我害怕独自一人在外，因为我是第一次远离家人。
这里周围都是我不认识的人，而他们也不认识我。
我得和他们交朋友，或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。
他们比我更聪明吗？我跟得上他们吗？他们会接受我吗？我很快就认识到，我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。
如果我要在学业上取得成功，我就必须制定一份学习计划。
我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。
我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉，什么时候吃什么，什么时候喝什么，对什么人表示友好。
这些问题我都得自己回答。
开始时，生活有点艰难。
我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。
我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。
我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。
然而不久，我就控制住了自己的生活。
我做到了按时上课，完成并交上了第一批作业，而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。
此外，我还交了一些朋友，跟他们在一起我感到很自在，我能把我担心的事告诉他们。
我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。
结果，我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。
我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。
凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定，这种感觉很好。
我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。
我未来的生活将会怎样呢？在人生的这一阶段，我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方，我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。
但我知道，我能应对未来，因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍：我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。

When I looked at my watch, I went wild with worry: there were only fifteen minutes left before the examination began, and the nearest bus stop was a long way off. Not knowing what to do, I stood still by the side of the road, tears welling up in my eyes. Then a car pulled in and I heard a voice asking what the matter was. When he heard my story, the driver offered me a lift. Thank to his kindness, I arrived just in time.

Before you read it, let me tell you something about its author, Stephen Hawking.Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the 'theory of everything.' Among other things, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.But it is not simply the power of Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For for many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and to speak normally.Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, "although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for."Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another great scientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech. "The only trouble," the English scientist says, "is that it gives me an American accent!"- 102 - Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization2. 1) The importance of the teaching of science in schools. 2) The role mass media can play, especially what television can do.Vocabularyinquired in terms of tend precise grasped sufficientconvey in two minds Winning the match today has ensured their team a place in the Cup Final.

Computers, for example, have provided some with the comfort of working from home while at the same time throwing others out of work as their jobs are automated. In the future changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself. New organisms (有机体) are already being engineered. New genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmful chemicals.But once again we cannot be sure that science will only change our lives for the better. The possibility remains that some modern Frankenstein may carelessly or deliberately let loose a new and- 106-Appendix Idangerous form of life. However, we should have sufficient faith in the good sense of the public to believe that we could prevent this from happening.(146 words)Unit 4Part I Pre-reading TaskScript for the recording:What you are about to hear is an interview with Dr Lee Hertz, the director of a scientific laboratory in Stanford University, California.Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Interviewer: Dr. Hertz: Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Interviewer:What does the expression the American Dream mean to you?I guess in one way it's the dream of my grandparents.

However, when they got to America, they realized that the dream wasn't going to happen, that the streets were not paved with gold and they hadto struggle to make a living. So the dream became the chance for their childrento succeed.Through?Through hard work and giving their kids an education. They thought that through education their children would have the choice of doing what they wanted. That basically life could be what you made it.And do you believe that?Well, America does give some people the opportunity to be what they want to be. Why just some people? Isn't the American Dream an idea everyone can believe in? Yes, but only because our government wants us to believe it. You could say that the American Dream has been used to support the capitalist system. It keepsmost of the population working and spending their money.How?AppendixI107-Dr. Hertz:Interviewer: Dr. Hertz:Well, all the time TV shows that the dream of a good life can be reached through money. Advertising tells you to buy and buy so that finally you will get there and the dream will come true.So you're saying it's the dream that makes the system work? Yes, because people become gripped by the need to move up in the world, they have to reach the top. They are never satisfied with what they have. The American Dream is at the end of the rainbow. It's not simply about having enough money to buy the things you need. It's about reaching the level of all the other people who have the money to buy more than you can afford. The American Dream may be in your head, but to find it you have to reach into your pocket.Part II Text AText OrganizationMain Events1)Tony worked as a help at Mr. Crawford's house.2)Tony got a job clearing snow at Mr. Crawford's factory.3)Tony learned to become a skilled worker.4)Tony bought a house with Mr. Crawford's help.5)Tony bought a farm and sent for his family in Italy.
