Unit 1 An Image or a Mirage?
Warm-up Activities 1. What do you think is the distinction between an image and a mirage? An image is a general impression that a person, firm, product, etc. gives to the public. A mirage is an optical illusion caused by hot air conditions, especially that of a sheet of water seeming to appear in the desert or on a hot road. It also means figuratively an illusion or hope that cannot be fulfilled. In the text the author defines “mirage” as an illusion, which means “false impression”. So we can roughly say that an image is a true impression whereas a mirage is a false one.
Unitn you think of some words or expressions which can be used to describe the virtue of honesty? For example: unassuming, diligent, look somebody straight in the eye, shake hands with somebody forcefully, tell the truth, have a clean-cut image, be willing to help other people, keep one’s promise, never talk with a glib tongue, have a magnetic speaking voice, etc.

Unit 1 Human reflectionsMarriage is an institution in which a man loser his Bachelor’s degree and the woman gets her Master’s 婚姻是这样一所学校，男人会失去单身汉的地位，而女人会获得征服者的地位。
---Socrates, Greek philosopherMen marry because they are tried, woman because they are curious; both are disappointed.男人结婚，因为他们厌倦了；女人结婚，因为她们好奇。
结果两人都大失所望。
---Oscar Wilde, British writerPre-reading Activities1.Fill in the blanks with the words you hearIt takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone ,and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t go for looks; they can deceive.Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meet the right one. So that when we finally meet the right person, we will know hour to be grateful for that gift. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their hearts.But if it doesn’t, be content. It grew in yours.2. Discuss the following questions.1. Do you know of marriages that have failed? If so, what do you think people have suffered from their failed marriages and what were the possible causes? What assumption do people bring into their marriages?2. In contrast to a failed marriage, what do you think can contribute to a happy marriage? What’s your definition of marriage?TextWhy Marriages FailAnne RoipheAnne Roiphe is an American feminist author known for such novels as Up the Sandbox and Lovingkindness. Her work is noteworthy for its examination of the conflict between the desire for family and relationships and that for career and self-determination1 These days so many marriages end in divorce that our most sacred vows no longer ring with truth. “Happily ever after” and “Till death us do part” are expressions that seem on the way to becoming obsolete. Why has it become so hard for couples to stay together? What goes wrong? What has happened to us that close to one half of all marriages are destined for the divorce courts?How could we have created a society in which 42 percent of our children will grow up in single-parent homes? If statistics could only measure loneliness, regret, pain, loss of self-confidence, and fear of the future, the numbers would be beyond quantifying.2. Even though each broken marriage is unique, we can still find common perils, common causes of marital despair. Each marriage has a crisis point, and each marriage tests endurance, the capacity for both intimacy and change. Outside pressures such as job loss, illness, infertility, trouble with a child, care of aging parents, and all the other plagues of life the marriage the way hurricanes blast our shores. Some marriages survive these storms, and others don’t. Marriages fail, however, not simply because of the outside weather but because the inner climate becomes too hot or too cold, too turbulent or too stupefying.3. When we look at how we choose our partners and what expectations exist at the tender beginning of romance, some of the reasons for the disaster become quite clear. We all select with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional patterns of our first homes. Dr. Carl A. Whitaker, a marital therapist and emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin, explains, “From early childhood on, each of us carried models for marriage, femininity, masculinity, motherhood, fatherhood and all the other family roles.’ Each of us falls in love with a mate who has qualities of our parents, who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives. We may think we have found a man unlike Dad, but then he returns to drink or drugs, or losses his job over and over again, or sits silently in front of the TV just the way Dad did. A man may choose a woman who doesn’t like kids just like his mother, or who gambles away the family savings just like his mother. Or he may choose a slender wife who seems unlike his obese mother but then turns out to have other addictions that destroy their mutual happiness.4. A man and a woman bring to their marriage bed a blended concoction of conscious and unconscious memories of their parents’ lives together. The human way is to compulsively repeat and recreate the patterns of the past. Sigmund Freud so well described the unhappy design that many of us get trapped in: the unmet needs of childhood, the angry feelings left over from frustrations of long ago, the limits of trust, and the reoccurrence of old fears. Once an individual senses this entrapment, there may follow a yearning to escape, and the result could be a broken, splintered marriage.5. Of course people can overcome the habits and attitudes that developed in childhood. We all have hidden strengths and amazing capacities for growth and creative change. Change, however, requires work – observing your part in a rotten pattern, bringing difficulties out into the open – and work runs counter to the basic myth of marriage:’ When I wed this person all my problems will be over. I will have achieved success and I will become the center of life for this other person and this person will be my center, and we will mean everything to each other forever.’ This myth, which every marriage relies on ,is soon exposed. The coming of children, the pulls and the tugs of their demands on affection and time, place a considerable strain on that basic myth of meaning everything to each other, of merging together and solving all of life’s problems.6. Concern and tension about money take each partner away from the other. Obligations to demanding parents or still-depended-upon parents create further strain. Couples today must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the woman’s movement and thesexual revolution. The altering of roles and the shifting of responsibilities have been extremely trying for many marriages.7. These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bliss the way sandstorms eat at rock and the ocean nibbles away at the dunes. Those euphoric, grand feelings that accompany romantic love are really self-delusions, self-hypnotic dreams that enable us to forge a relationship. Real life, failure at work, disappointments, exhaustion, bad smells, bad colds and hard times all puncture the dream and leave us stranded with our mate, with our childhood patterns pushing us this way and that, and with our unfulfilled expectations.8. The struggle to survive in marriage requires adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling. Many marriages fall apart because either partner cannot imagine what the other wants or cannot communicate what he of she needs or feels. Anger builds until it erupts into a volcanic burst that buries the marriage in ash.9. If we sense from our mate a need for too much intimacy, we tend to push him of her away, fearing that we may lose our identities in the merging of marriage. One partner may suffocate the other partner in a childlike dependency. A good marriage means growing so a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn’t easy. Richard gives up his interest in carpentry because his wife, Helen, is jealous of the time he spends away from her. Karen quits the choir group because her husband dislikes the friends she makes there. Each pair clings to each other and is angry with each other as life closes in on them. This kind of marital balance is easily thrown as one or the other pulls away and divorce follows.10. Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one’s fantasies, some of one’s legitimate desires have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. “While all marital partners feel shackled at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or supporting bonds,” says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial, and emotional discipline. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow themselves to stop growing and changing.11. Divorce is not an evil act .Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be, despite its initial devastation, like the first cut of the surgeon’s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partners can stay past the breaking-up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself.Notes1.Dr. Carl A.

新世纪综合教程1(第二版)课文翻译Unit 1优等生的秘诀1 一位研究教育的老师针对成绩优异的学生做过重点研究，发现最聪明的学生不见得总能得高分。
根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点，懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。
2 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀，是因为他们掌握了几个人人都可以轻易学到的基本原则。
首先，优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。
他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。
换言之，学习总是摆在娱乐之前。
另外，优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。
有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员，每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。
而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。
所有受访的学生无一例外都认为，在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。
有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好，有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容，一放学回家就开始学习。
尽管如此，所有优等生都一致认为，如果想任何时候都表现优秀，一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。
3 学生还必须学会有条理。
举个例子，有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。
他透露，他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。
还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里，以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。
优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读，其中包括快速阅读，提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。
4 对于学生们来说，合理安排时间也同样重要。
他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度，不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。
能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课，而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。
成绩优异的学生认为，他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记，供复习时使用。
有个学生透露，她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边，把课堂笔记写在另一边。
这样，就可同时复习到两方面的内容。

Straight-A students, in this respect, can be of great help by sharing their secrets in achieving academic excellence. Read the following text to find out what some of these secrets are.1 11/ 30Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1Secrets of Straight-A Students1____ A professor of education who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students revealed that top grades do not always go ____ to the brightest students. According to him, other education experts and top students themselves, it is far more important for a student to know how to make the most of his or her innate abilities. ____ The students at the top of the class attain ____ .2 academic excellence by mastering a few basic principles that others can easily learn. To begin ____ with, top students know how to set their priorities ____ right. Study time is never compromised for phone calls, television programmes or snacks.2 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1In other words, it is always placed above recreation. ____ In addition, top students make of studying anywhere or everywhere. A top ____ a point ____ student who is also a top athlete memorises biology terms as he works out every day. Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some thrive at night when all is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fresh in their minds. However, all agreed that consistency is a main factor if one is ____ to perform ____ well at all times.3 13/ 30Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 13 A student must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student immediately files the day’s notes in colour-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving one’s memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that will lead to a full understanding of the author’s message.4 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 14 It is also important for students to know how to schedule their ____ time. They must know how to pace each assignment or project according to their daily timetable and work ability so that they might not be overwhelmed by the tasks ____ at hand. Being able to set ____ timetables not only allows students more time to review and polish ____ their work, it also prevents them from procrastinating. Top students believe that a secret of their success is the taking ____ down of good notes during lessons and using them for revision. One student revealed that she writes notes from the text on one side of her notebook and those from her teachers’lectures on the other side. This allows her to review both aspects of each lesson at once. The5 15/ 30Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1student also revealed that instead of wasting time whispering to friends and getting ready to rush out of the class just before the bell rings, she uses those few minutes to jot down a two or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points. She then scans the notes to refresh ____ her memory ____ before the next day’s class. 5 Another winning formula which teachers promote lies in a student’s ability to hand in neat work. According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already on the way to scoring an A.6 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1____ it is equally important for students to speak In the classroom context, ____ up and ask questions. This is perhaps the best way for a student to ____ clarify a ____ ____ any doubts. Classroom participation also demonstrates student’s intellectual curiosity. As a student concisely puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.” 6 The value of studying together was demonstrated in an experiment conducted at one top university. The study revealed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored ____ higher than those who laboured on their own. The experiment also ____ illuminated the value of hypothetical tests conducted among the students and on their own. This means that students frame tentative7 17/ 30Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1test questions based ____ on their notes and give each other or themselves written examinations the day before a test. Experts confirmed that students who devise possible test questions often find many of the same questions during the real examination and thus score higher. 7 Another technique employed by top students is to do more than the assigned homework. A student revealed that if her teacher gives ____ five problems, she will undertake ten. In the student’s words, “Part of ____ learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.” Last8 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text ADiscovering the Main Ideas In-Depth Study Voicing Your ViewsUnit 1but not least, all experts and top students agre e that the most important “secret” of super-achievers lies in the crucial contribution by parents. From infancy, super-achievers were taught the importance of learning by their parents. The latter set high standards for their children and held them to those standards. They encouraged their children in their studies but did not undertake the work for them. Instead of pressuring their children, ____ these parents were always loving, gentle and ____ took pains to explain and ____ motivate. They impressed the lessons of responsibility on their children, and the children delivered.9 19/ 30Read and Explore – Text BKey Words and Expressions Difficult SentencesUnit 1Comprehension QuestionsKey Words for Text Beconomic victim sum tough web practical peer economy accumulate self-induced tuition loan charge fee financial dentist classicsdetermination lab steer faculty secure creative10 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text BKey Words and Expressions Difficult SentencesUnit 1Comprehension QuestionsKey Words for Text Bspecificobligatedprofessionfulfillsevereexpectationtrulyde andawnoversleeppsychologicallytensionmultiplyapproachdelibe ratelydueperceiveultimatelytrapunique11 111/ 30Read and Explore – Text BKey Words and Expressions Difficult SentencesUnit 1Comprehension QuestionsExpressions for Text Bwork on come tomajor inafter all put togetherpay offunder pressure point out12 1---------------------------------------------------------------最新资料推荐------------------------------------------------------ Read and Explore – Text BKey Words and Expressions Difficult SentencesUnit 1Comprehension Questions1.

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。
新世纪大学英语综合教程1课文全文翻译
一名语言教师的个人看法我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告，声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。
这些广告号称，学生不必费什么力气，要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月，甚至10天就行。
广告还常常提到威廉·莎士比亚和查尔斯·狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号来增强吸引力。
每当看到诸如此类的广告时，我真是哭笑不得：如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松，我恐怕得另谋出路了，因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。
但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头，不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。
学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中，但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事，而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。
一些专家甚至认为，有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法，因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。
这种说法无疑是有几分道理的，但对学生来说不是很有帮助。
有很长一段时间，人们认为要学好一门语言，只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。
当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势，但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。
有些学生走向另一极端：他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。
如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词（或反之亦然），那就错了。
通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的，更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。
现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。
行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语，不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。
假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩，那这些方法或许能奏效，可惜我们不是，这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾，否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。
我个人认为，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。
与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同，人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音，除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思，并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

研究生新世纪综合英语unit1课文Unit1Free fallingThe impact of saying goodbye and actually leaving did not hit me until the day of my departure. Its strength woke me an hour before my clock would, as for the last time missy, my golden retriever, greeted me with a big, sloppy lick. I hated it when she did that, but that day I welcomed her with open arms. I petted her with long, slow strokes, and her sad eyes gazed into mine. Her coat felt more silky than usual. Of course, I did not notice any of these qualities until that day, which made me all the more sad about leaving her.The entire day was like that: a powerful awakening of whom and what I would truly miss. I became sentimental about saying goodbye to many people I had taken for granted--- the regulars who came into the restaurant where I worked, the ones I never find time to speak with. I had to leave all of my friends and classmates I had always intended to “get to know someday.” Most importantly, I would be forced to say farewell to the ones who raised me.All at once, the glorious hype about becoming independent and free became my sole, scary reality. I began to feel the pressure of all my big talk about being a big now that day it finally had, I felt as if I did not want to go. I supposed that goes with the territory of enrolling in a university sis hours from home.Upon my decision to do so, in fact, all of my personal problems had seemed to fade. I didn’t care: I was leaving. I wanted to make it clear that I want to go--- and by god, I was ready. Then the day came, and I wondered if I was honestly readyto go.My dad and stepmom were taking me to school, but first I had to say goodbye to my mom. No one ever said divorce was easy. I met mom from brunch that morning, and she immediately began talking of my past experiences. More so, she talked a little her first year away from home--- cluttered dorm, shy roommates, some art history classes--- and she spoke with such detail and enthusiasm that I clearly saw what a lasting impression college makes. We talked then of my expectations--- what the guy on my floor would be like, how I hoped my classes would not be on opposite sides of campus, whether I’d gain weight on cafeteria food.She paused for a se cond, and then quipped,” the food won’t make you gain weight, the beer will.”I smiled. I felt relieved that mom was in a cheerful mood, rather than a maudlin one. Ironically, the sky was filled with sunshine and bright, silky clouds. Some how, I’d expecte d it to be gray and overcast. As we talked, I realized I would soon begin the long, complicated road to independence. The security I had selfishly taken for granted at home would eventually diminish into memory. Home would no longer be home, but Carbondale, illinios.When the waitress brought our bill, Mom’s mood shifted noticeably. She became quiet, even somber. I suppose for her that somehow signaled the conclusion of our last meal together, at least the last one for quiet some time. She looked down at the table pensively. Looking back now, I can see the significance that day probably hadfor my mother. As a parent, she must have been anticipating that day ever since november30,1970, and it surely challengedher emotionally.She walked me to my car, and I could feel my sadness in the pit of my stomach. The summer breeze dried my eyes, as I blinked profusely to moisten them.“Well, I guess I have to go, “ I mumbled looking into the distance. I could not believe I did not have the courage to say that directly into her eyes.“ I know, “she replied with a faint smile and then quipped. “ it’s not too late to change your mind.” She was joking, but there seemed to be some seriousness in her voice. Her smile quickly faded when I said I couldn’t.“I’m going to miss you.” She added.“ You make it sound as if you’re never see me again.”“ You could call…collect, of course.”I laughed. The implication that all money spent from then on would be my own was scary, yet funny as well.“ Don’t worried about me too much, mom.”“I’ll miss you.” She drew my close and gave me a big hug. And I assured her I’d be back sooner than she’d realize. She then told me that she loved me.“ I… love you, too.” The difficulty of saying those words overwhelmed me. I had always seen myself as someone with solid, untouchable emotions. At that moment, though, I was in a fragile, quivering state; and I could not believe I had conjured such a false image of myself.We drew apart, and I slowly climbed into my gray maxima. She did not cry, but who knows what happened when I turned the corner. I don’t think I want to know.At that time, I felt like a rookie sky diver preparing for his first plunge. The cabin door opens to reveal the extreme distance ofhis fall, which leads to either sheer excitement or eventual death. The naivete that sheltered his fear disappears at the sudden reality of the moment. By then, of course, it is much too late to turn back. The very thought that this was his idea seems absurd to him, and he feels like the only person on the face of the planet. And so he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and jumps.Big talk大话牛皮Big shot大人物By god上帝作证More so在更大程度上如此The pit of the stomach胸口，心窝。
