Commitment
If two people are to make a relationship work, intimacy and passion must be maintained through thick and thin. When time gets rough, both parties must attempt to resolve the problems based on the assumption that the other person also wants to do so, too. Part of commitment means offering support to your partner whenever possible. However, this doesn’t entail blindly accepting everything the other person says or does. It’s perfectly fine to agree or disagree. Respecting differences in opinions and points of view is an important part of any relationship.

记听力笔记技巧:格式与结构 做听力笔记时,我们不可能记下听到的所有信息。那么,怎样才能记下尽可能多的信息呢? 首先我们应该掌握所听信息的格式与结构。 听力任务通常组织得很有逻辑。大部分情况下,听力材料以说明开始,之后是几个例子或 者详细阐述,最后以结论收尾。如果我们关注到标志内部逻辑的词语(比如表示过渡的词语或 表示因果关系的词语),那么记录信息将会变得更容易。只要在逻辑上我们能够理解所听到的 内容,那么就可以重新组织记录下的信息片段,最后完成理解练习。比如,当你听到下面一段 文字时 : “Firstly, let’s talk a little bit about some of the components that go into online education. The first component is that... The second and perhaps one of the biggest components of our online education is that... The third component is that...”,我们需要特别关注文中的 “firstly” “the first component” “the second component”“the third component” 这些显示逻辑顺序的词语。关注这些 词语有助于我们在逻辑上更好地抓住重点 ,理解听力材料的内容。

大学英语精读第3册UNIT5课文翻译及课后答案

大学英语精读第3册第5课课文翻译及课后答案课文翻译妈妈哭的那天很久前一个阴暗的冬天,我放学回家,心中充满着期待。
我腋下夹着一本我所喜爱的刚出版的体育杂志,而且整个房子将只有我一个人。
爸爸还没下班,妹妹不在家,妈妈刚找到一份新工作,在一小时内是不会回家的,我跳上台阶,冲进起居室,啪的一声打开电灯。
我眼前出现的景象使我惊呆了。
妈妈紧缩着身子。
手捂着脸,坐在沙发的一端,她在哭。
我以前从没见她哭过。
我小心地走近她,把手放在她肩上。
“妈”我说,“怎么了?”妈妈长叹一口气,强作微笑。
“没什么,真的。
没什么大不了的事。
只是我要失去这份新工作了。
我字打的不够快。
”“但你才上三天班,”我说,“你会赶上的。
”我重复了妈妈对我说过的一百遍的那句话。
每当我学什么或做什么重要事情而遇到麻烦时,妈常这样对我说。
“不行了,”妈妈神色黯淡地对我说。
“过去我常说只要我下决心,什么事我都能干好。
现在我仍然认为在多数情况下我能做到。
但是,打字这事我做不到啦。
”我无能为力,十分尴尬。
那时我16岁,仍然认为妈妈能做任何事。
几年前,当我们卖掉农场,搬到城里来住的时候,妈妈决定开一所日托所。
她没受过这方面的训练,但这并不妨碍她。
她参加幼托函授课学习,做练习,六个月后就正式获得从事这项工作的资格了。
不久后,她不但招满了生,而且还有许多孩子等着注册。
我认为这是理所当然的,是妈妈能力的体现。
但是不管是日托所还是后来爸妈买的汽车旅馆都无法提供足够的钱送我和妹妹上大学。
两年后我就要准备上大学了。
再过三年,妹妹也想上大学。
时间过得真快。
妈妈想尽了一切方法存钱。
很明显,爸爸不可能比他现在干得更多---除了一份全日制工作外,还要耕种80英亩地。
在我们卖掉汽车旅馆几个月后,妈弄回家一台旧式打字机。
这台打字机跳字,键盘也很松。
那天吃饭时,我说这台打字是“废物一件”。
“我们只买得起这个,”妈妈说。
“这对练打字是够好的了。
”从那天开始,只要桌子一收拾,碗一洗,妈妈就会消失到她的缝纫房里练习打字。

Unit 5 DreamsPart One Viewing, Understanding and SpeakingVideo ScriptTopic: Interpreting DreamsSetting: At the river bankCharacters: John (young man), Mary (young woman)[John and Mary, a newly married couple, are on their honeymoon. While they are sitting at the river bank, John is reading Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams and Mary is having a nap.]Mary: (awakes from a sweet dream) Ah…Darling, everything is so wonderful! The sun, the air, the water… I feel as if I were in a dream.John: (still reading the book with not much response) A dream? Yes, a dream.Mary: Have a look at the beautiful scenery around you, Darling. Don’t you think it’s too good to be true?John: Mm, maybe.Mary: Eh, you aren’t listening to me. What are you reading now?John: (finishes the last page of the book and closes the book) It’s Freud’s Interpretation of Dreams. Honey, have you ever wondered what…what the meaning of your dreams? You might get some satisfactory explanations for your dreams from this book, because Freud explains various kinds of dreams in it.Mary: It must be a very interesting book! Otherwise, you wouldn’t have ignored me. It seems to me that I am not as attractive as Freud.John: Yes, it really is.Mary: Yes?! You mean I am not charming enough? I can hardly stand your rudeness.John: Of course not. I mean it’s really an interesting book. Freud says that everything in our dreams has something to do with our real life.Mary: Really? I often dream about gathering fruit in an orchard. What does fruit represent in my dreams?John: It predicts good fortune. You’ll be rich, Honey.Mary: But the fact is we still can’t afford to buy a house.John: I have to admit that’s absolutely true. I spent about all I had on our honeymoon.Mary: Well, there must be something wrong with your interpretation, Darling. I doubt whether dreams can predict the future.John: Before I can be more exact, you have to give me more details.Mary: What further information do you need?John: Well, Honey, could you tell me what the color of the fruit is in your dreams?Mary: Er… the fruit doesn’t seem to be ripe. In my dreams, I think it’s green.John: Mm…I’ve got it. If the color of the fruit is green, you can’t be rich immediately, because only ripe fruit is interpreted as good fortune at hand.Mary: Oh? Are you sure about that?John: Definitely. I’ve just looked it up in Freud’s book.Mary: Then we’ll just have to wait and see?John: That’s right, Honey. Do you have any other happy dreams?Mary: Yes. I had another one just now. It was so sweet that I smiled from ear to ear. Would you like to have another try, Mr. Freud?John: I t’s my pleasure, madam. What happened in this dream? I guarantee you I can give you another good explanation.Mary: When I was dozing, I dreamed that you gave me a beautiful diamond necklace as a memento of our wonderful honeymoon. What do you think that means?John: (understands her wife’s actual intention and tries to find a way out) Er…Er…I’m not sure.Er…maybe I’m… I’m not knowledgeable enough! But anyway I can turn to the book for help. Wait a minute!Mary: Take it easy, Darling! I’m sure you know how you can make it come true.John: Too bad!Mary: What’s wrong?John: (smiles cunningly at his wife) I’m afraid Freud didn’t tell me how to interpret a daydream, only dreams at night.Mary: Daydream?!John: Yes, it must be a daydream since you had it during the day.Exercise 1Directions: You’re going to watch a video in which a couple talk about dreams.

They’re quite different. In passive sleep, the body is at rest. The heart slows down. The body processes become very slow. We move very little, and the brain becomes very inactive. If a person continues to sleep, she or he enters a new stage, a more active stage. The body goes through several changes: the brain temperature rises, the amount of blood in the brain increases, the body becomes very, very still, and the brain goes from being very inactive to being active. And as the brain becomes more active, the eyes begin to move rapidly. Eye movement is a sign of another change—that of a person dreaming.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and a half hours on the average.Doctors have studied the sleep cycle and have found that everyone dreams—in fact, everyone needs to dream in order to stay healthy. It appears we need both kinds of sleep. We need passive sleep in order to rest our bodies. We need active sleep in order to dream. And dreaming helps us to rest our minds.

Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animal life, like worms and snails, ever really sleep. On the other hand, animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.The amount of sleep a human being needs depends on age, the individual and possibly race. For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are exceptional cases of old people who sleep only between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer hours than Europeans.It is not known for certain if mental activity (apart from dreaming) occurs when a person is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a specific, pre-determined time. There are also stories about mathematicians who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.Some types of unpleasant dreams (or “nightmares”) are quite common; the dreamer is taking a test, but is not properly prepared; he is falling from a tree; or an animal or thing is chasing him.Some people say these last two occur because man’s ancestors lived in trees and were in constant danger from wild animals.

We tend to daydream the most during those quiet times when we are alone in our cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. Daydreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic human characteristic. Most people have reported that they enjoy their daydreams. Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women, but the subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different. Men daydream more about being heroes and good athletes while women tend to daydream about fashions and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still common in old age. Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past. Daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists believe that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play. It is a normal part of their development. It helps children develop and explore their imagination.Daydreaming has advantages and disadvantages. In some situations it can reduce a person’s fear or anxiety. It can also keep us entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, we must divert part of our attention from our environment. When it is important for us to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around us, daydreaming can cause problems.

Many experts now believe our dreams are so closely related to our waking lives that we can use them to help us recognize our inner conflicts.According to some experts, men and women dream differently because of biological and social conditioning. In a study of 1000 dreams, half from each sex, experts found that men more often have action dreams. Usually these dreams are set outdoors or in unfamiliar surroundings. Women dream more of emotional struggles with loved ones, usually in indoor settings. As more women have care ers, their dreams might become more like men’s. Researchers have found that while housewives dream more about children, women in the workplace dream about bosses and colleagues. Small children who are easily scared dream of frightening animals and monsters that chase and attack them. Teenagers dream of romance and sex.Some dream researchers found in a study that people between 21 and 34 have more anxiety over issues of right and wrong in their dreams, possibly because they are making important decisions about career, marriage and life direction. People of ages 35 to 49 are much less hostile toward others in their dreams, perhaps because they’re reaching their greatest achievement, and have less need for aggression while awake. After age 65, anxiety about aging appears much more often in people’s dreams.If life stages affect our dreams, so do our attitudes. Studies show that angry people act out their anger in their dreams, and depressed people sometimes dream they are victims of rejection.Creative people often use their dreams to solve problems. According to author Naomi Epel, when some writers, artists or scientists go to sleep, they ask their subconscious for a dream that will help them solve problems.

His name was Max Hoffman.“Will our son die?” Max’s parents asked the doctor.“Maybe,” the doctor said quietly. “Stay with Max. Keep him warm. That’s all you can do.”For three days Max lay in his bed. Then he died. He was only five years old.Max’s parents buried their son in the town cemetery. That night Max’s mother had a terrible dream. She dreamed that Max was moving in his coffin. She screamed in her sleep.“Sh, sh,” her husband said. “It’s all right. You had a bad dream.”The next night Max’s mother screamed in her sleep again. She had the same terrible dream.On the third night Max’s mother had another bad dream. She dreamed that Max was crying. She got out of bed and got dressed. “Quick! Get dressed,” she told her husband. “We’re going to the cemetery. I want to see Max. I want to dig up his coffin.”At four o’clock in the morning Max’s parents and a neighbor hurried to the cemetery. They dug up Max’s coffin and opened it. There was Max. He looked dead. But he wasn’t lying on his back. He was lying on his side.Max’s father carried Max home. Then he ran to get the doctor. For an hour the doctor rubbed whiskey on Max’s lip and warmed his body. Then Max opened his eyes. Max was alive! A week later he was playing with his friends.Max Hoffman died—really died—in the United States in 1953.

I read with great interest your interpretation on dreams of teeth falling out. It is the same interpretation that many others use as well (needing to be heard etc). I myself had this dream repeatedly and was dying to know what it meant, as it was always confusing and disturbing. However, I was always unsatisfied with the “needing to be heard” thing.You might note that many people who have this dream are feeling worried, depressed or frightened as their teeth are falling out painlessly. Sometimes they even try to keep the teeth from falling out. Finally I came up with a different interpretation, which fitted much better for me. In fact, I’ve had fewer dreams of this sort now. So I thought you might be interested. For me, the dream means I am talking TOO MUCH. It means thoughtlessness, telling secrets, gossiping unwisely. And it’s my subconscious warning me. Now, if I have this dream, I know I have been unwise with my big mouth! Trying to cram the teeth back in, or stop them falling out, or trying to find a dentist, actually means trying to stop the words or gossip from coming out, and the feelings of depression are reflecting the regret of being too revealing—usually to an enemy. I am much more aware of this now and not such a big mouth! Maybe you could add this to your interpretations.BestKatie(243 words) Part ADirections: In this section, you’ll hear a letter to a newspaper column that provides interpretations of typical dreams regularly.
