BOOK3 UNIT 1抓螃蟹大学最后一年的秋天，我们的心情变了。
刚刚过去的夏季学期的轻松氛围、即兴球赛、查尔斯河上的泛舟以及深夜晚会都不见了踪影，我们开始埋头学习，苦读到深夜，课堂出勤率再次急剧上升。
我们都觉得在校时间不多了，以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了，所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。
当然，下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。
我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一，那也太丢人了，因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。
以前每天下午五点以后，图书馆就空无一人了，现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座，小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋，他们脸色苍白，睡眼惺忪，却很自豪，好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。
还有别的事情让大家心情焦虑。
每个人都在心里盘算着过几个月毕业离校之后该找份什么样的工作。
并不总是那些心怀抱负、成绩拔尖的高材生才清楚自己将来要做什么，常常是那些平日里默默无闻的同学早早为自己下几个阶段的人生做好了规划。
有位同学在位于麦迪逊大道他哥哥的广告公司得到了一份工作，另一位同学写的电影脚本已经与好莱坞草签了合约。
我们当中野心最大的一位同学准备到地方上当一个政党活动家，我们都预料他最终会当上参议员或国会议员。
但大多数同学不是准备继续深造，就是想在银行、地方政府或其他单位当个白领，希望在20出头的时候能挣到足够多的薪水，过上舒适的生活，然后就娶妻生子，贷款买房，期望升职，过安稳日子。
感恩节的时候我回了一趟家，兄弟姐妹们免不了不停地问我毕业后有什么打算，我不知道该说什么。
实际上，我知道该说什么，但我怕他们批评我，所以只对他们说了别人都准备干什么。
父亲看着我，什么也没说。
夜深时，他叫我去他的书房。
我们坐了下来，他给我们俩各倒了杯饮料。
“怎么样？”他问。
“啊，什么怎么样？”“你毕业后到底想做什么？”他问道。
父亲是一名律师，我一直都认为他想让我去法学院深造，追随他的人生足迹，所以我有点儿犹豫。
过了会儿我回答说：“我想旅行，我想当个作家。
”我想这不是他所期待的答案。

Unit 1Active reading独立思考直到现在，独立思考仍然是一种激进的行为。
独立思考本应该是一种普遍的行为，但事实并非如此。
我们社会的每一次重大进步都源于独立思考。
然而，在大多数圈子里，尤其是在我们生活中的重要场所——如家庭、学校以及大部分工作场所——独立思考受到人们的质疑。
有些机构甚至故意压制独立思考，把它视作危险行为。
在一次晚会上，有一位客人问起我酝酿中的一本书的主题，他让我想起了这个令人悲哀的事实。
我告诉他这本书是关于人们如何相互帮助，培养独立思考能力的。
“啊，天哪！”他说，“我觉得这个主题不怎么好，我更希望人们按指令行事。
”后来我才发现他是一家大公司的第四代掌门人，而这家公司是世界上最大的石油公司之一。
“……要把我们公司发展成一个典范的工作环境，其中各层次的人都能够独立思考。
”你最后一次看到包含上述字眼的机构愿景陈述是在什么时候？而且，最后一次有人问你：“你能说说真心话吗？真心话！”，然后等着你最终给出充分的答案，那又是在什么时候？我们对于缺乏独立思考已习以为常了。
很少有人受到鼓励进行独立思考，更别提接受相关的训练，就连他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
而且他们的老师、父母和老板也是如此。
（我们也许已经知道要尊敬像苏格拉底这样的思想家，但同时我们也知道，他正是因为独立思考而被雅典城判处死刑，服毒而亡——这绝非是对独立思考完完全全的鼓励。
）可是，偶尔我们确实能遇到一位真心想让我们发展独立思考能力的人。
他们让我们对独立思考的重要性有了浅略的认识。
我13 岁时被安排学习一门高等代数课程。
这门课的老师曾因迫使学生思考而遭到学生的中伤。
上第一节课时，她站在黑板前说道：“在你们面前的纸上写出一个数字之和。
”全班35个少男少女都愣愣地看着她。
她把要求又重复了一遍：“写出一个数字之和。
”我记得当时握铅笔的手都攥出了汗。
有几个人把头低下，动笔写起来。
我纳闷他们究竟在写些什么。
我看见跟我隔着过道的那个女同学向前探了一下身子，从前座男生的肩膀上方偷窥他正在草草写些什么。

unit 6 The Last LeafWhen Johnsy fell seriously ill, she seemed to lose the will to hang on to life. The doctor held out little hope for her. Her friends seemed helpless. Was there nothing to be done?约翰西病情严重，她似乎失去了活下去的意志。
医生对她不抱什么希望。
朋友们看来也爱莫能助。
难道真的就无可奈何了吗？1 At the top of a three-story brick building, Sue and Johnsy had their studio. "Johnsy" was familiar for Joanna. One was from Maine; the other from California. They had met at a cafe on Eighth Street and found their tastes in art, chicory salad and bishop sleeves so much in tune that the joint studio resulted.在一幢三层砖楼的顶层，苏和约翰西辟了个画室。
“约翰西”是乔安娜的昵称。
她们一位来自缅因州，一位来自加利福尼亚。
两人相遇在第八大街的一个咖啡馆，发现各自在艺术品味、菊苣色拉，以及灯笼袖等方面趣味相投，于是就有了这个两人画室。
2 That was in May. In November a cold, unseenstranger, whom the doctors called Pneumonia, stalked about the district, touching one here and there with his icy fingers. Johnsy was among his victims. She lay, scarcely moving on her bed, looking through the small window at the blank side of the next brick house.那是5月里的事。

英语阅读第一单元课文翻译 Active Reading两种判断判断一个人有两种不同的方式，有时判断的最终目的是正确地判断一个人，不过另外一种则不是如此，并且这种判断要常见得多。
我们往往认为所有的判断都属于第一种。
如果能意识到哪些是第一种而哪些不是的话，我们也许会更幸福。
第一种判断，即把正确地判断一个人作为最终目的的判断，包括法院判决、考试成绩及大部分比赛。
这些判断当然可能会有误判，但因为其最终目的是正确地判断一个人，通常会有某种类似于上诉的程序。
如果你觉得别人没有正确评价你，你可以表示反对，说你受到了不公平的待遇。
几乎所有对孩子的判断都属于第一类，所以在小时候我们就养成了这种习惯，认为所有的判断都是这样。
但实际上还有更广泛地存在着的第二类判断，在这种判断中，对你作出判断只是做另一件事的手段。
这包括大学招生、聘用及作投资决定，当然也包括在约会时作出的判断。
这种判断并不是真正意义上对你作出的评价。
假设你要为国家队挑选运动员。
简单起见，假设这是一个没有位置要求的运动，并且你需要挑选二十个运动员。
有一些明星运动员肯定要在队里，还有许多肯定不能入选。
只有那些难作取舍的情况会让你的判断产生差别。
即使你搞砸了，低估了排在第二十名的运动员，使他落选了，他的位置被排在第二十一名的运动员所代替，你还是组建了一支好的队伍。
如果运动员之间的能力分配正常，第二十一名运动员只会比第二十名略微逊色，或者他们之间的差距比测量误差还要小。
那位排在第二十名的运动员可能会觉得自己被错误地判断了。
但是在此你的目的不是为人们提供能力评估服务，而是组建一支队伍，如果排名第二十位的与排名第二十一位的运动员之间的差距比测量误差还小，你还是作了最佳选择。
用‚不公平‛来形容这种‚不正确的判断‛是一种错误的类比。
因为在此目的不是为了对某个特定的个体作出正确的评估，而是选择合理的最佳组合。
在此，会误导我们的一点是选择者看起来有点权力。
这点权力会让人们认为他像个法官。

unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeIn America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。
许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。
很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。
或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。
但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。
Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeJim Doherty1 There are two things I have always wanted to do -- write and live on a farm. Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country.有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。

When will I make calls —during the day, at night, or on weekends? Does the price fit my monthly budget? 3.

Is it easy to use?Does it have the features you need —for example, voice dialing or Internet service?4. Don ' t talk and drive.You need two hands to drive a car.

Perhaps Evan should have one.Dad: Why?Mom: I think cell phones can be very useful. I worry that I won' tbe able to reach him, in an emergency. There would be no need to worry if he had a cell phone. I could relax.Dad: OK, I see what you mean. But I ' m still not convinced they are safe for children to use. Let ask Evan ' s doctor for her opinion.Mom: Sure. Good idea.Doctor: I don ' t like cell phones that much. They ' re very useful in emergencies, b,uIt in general think that they ' re not a good thing, especially for kids.
