Unit1Onewayof summarizingthe Americanposition is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachersare fearful that if skills are not acquiredearly, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparablehurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).But assumingthat the contrast I havedevelopedis valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals,the importantquestion becomes this: Canwe gather, from the Chineseand Americanextremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking abetter balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Unit2Waltonset upa college scholarshipfund for employees' children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes damagedby fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. Hebelieved in cultivating ideas and rewarding success."He'd say, 'That fellow worked hard, let's give him alittle extra,'" recalls retired president Ferold F.Arend, whowasstunnedat suchgenerosityafter the stingyemployer he left to join Wal-Mart"I. hadto changemywayof thinking when I came aboard.""Thereasonfor our success,"saysWalton,in a company handout,"is our peopleand theway they'retreated andthe way they feel about their company. They believe things aredifferent here, but they deserve the credit."Adds companylawyer Jim Hendren:"I've never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn't better off. And I don't mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It's just something about him -- coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person."Makingthe journeyfromlog cabin to WhiteHouseis partof the American Dream. But when Jimmy Carter was defeated in his attempt to gain a second term as President of the United States he found himself suddenly thrown out of the WhiteHouseandbackin his log cabin. This is howhe coped.Unit3SEAN:If that sort of thing happenedonly oncein awhile, it wouldn't be so bad. Overall, I wouldn't want totrademy dad for anyone else's. He loves us kids and Mom too. ButI think that's sometimes theproblem.Hewantsto do thingsfor us, things he thinks are good.But he needsto givethem more thought because:SEAN,HEIDIandDIANE:(In unison)Fatherknowsbetter!(The lights quickly fade to black and then come up a second or two later. DIANE stands alone at the Down Right edge of the stage. HEIDI and SEAN enter Down Left and cross to the edge of the stage. )DIANE: Can you imagine how humiliated I was? An honor student, class president. And Father was out asking people to have their sons call and ask me to the prom! But that's dear old dad. Actually, he is a dear. He just doesn't stopto think. And it's not just one of us who've felt the heavyhand of interference. Oh, no, all three of us live in constantdreadknowingthat at anytime disaster canstrike because: Father knows better.Unit4I'd never realized how important daily routine is: dressingfor work, sleepingnormalhours. I'd neverthought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, whylife without anexternally supporteddaily plan canleadto higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restorebalance to mylife, I force myselfback into thereal world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try toat least get to the gym,so as to set apart the weekendfromthe rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories,doctor's appointments-- anythingto get meout of the houseand connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see afriend andher ringing laughter is intolerable -- the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.Thought you were safe sharing secrets with Internet friends? Wait for the doorbell...Unit5The runway felt different this time. It startled him for abrief moment. Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay.Thebar wasset at nine incheshigher than his personal best. That's only one inch off the National record, he thought.The intensity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety.He began shaking the tension. It wasn't working.He became more tense. Why was this happening to him now, he thought. He began to get nervous. Afraid would be a more accuratedescription. What washe going to do?Hehad never experienced these feelings. Then out of nowhere, and from the deepestdepthsof his soul, he pictured his mother.Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple. His mother always used to tellhim when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths.Sohe did. Alongwith shakingthe tension fromhis legs,he gently laid his pole at his feet. He began to stretchout his arms and upper body. The light breeze that was once there wasnowgone.Hecarefully pickeduphis pole. Hefelthis heart pounding. He was sure the crowd did, too. The silence was deafening. When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight, he knew it was his time to fly.Unit6Racingthe clock everydayis suchan exhaustingeffortthat when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into spacewhile I imaginehowlovely life wouldbe if only I possessedthe organizational skills and the energy of my superheroinesIn. fact, I wastea gooddeal of mysparetimejust worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs. Sometimes I think that these modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding our time for the day our prince would come.Yet superwomen tales continue to charm me. Despite my friend's warningagainstbeingtakenin, despite everythingI've learned, I find that I'm not only willing, but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned. Why? Isupposeit has somethingto do with the appeal of an optimistic approach to life -- and the fact that extraordinary deeds have been accomplished by determined individuals whorefusedto believe that "you can't" wasthe final word on their dreams.Men have generally been assured that achieving their heart's desires wouldbe apiece of cake.Women,of course, have always believed that we can't have our cake and eat it too-the old low-dream diet. Perhaps becominga superwoman is an impossible dream for me, but life without that kind of fantasy is as unappealing as a diet with no treats.1)The young woman described to the policemen the way the man ran up to her and grabbed the bag from her hand.2)All the people working for Sam Walton admire the way he manages Wal-Mart and the way he treats his employees.3)The neighbors were disgusted at the way he talked to hisold father.4)It's amazing the way the eight-year-old boy managed tostay so calm when he faced the emergency.1.

Games people play in the US美国人参加的运动In America, different sports attract different people. Not everyone likes the same sports, and most people would agree that there isn't a single national sport, but three: baseball, football, and basketball.在美国，不同的运动吸引着不同的人群，并不是所有的人都喜爱同一种运动，但大多数人会同意，美国全国性的运动不是一个而是三个：棒球、橄榄球和篮球。
Baseball as a spectator sport is a truly relaxed and leisurely activity. It's not an intense game full of action, but one which was born in a slower, more peaceful age. For a few hours, it can seem that the most important thing in a fan's life is to watch the players discuss their tactics, spring to life with sudden bursts of activity, and then return to a state of play which uses less energy.作为一种观赏运动，棒球真的是一种放松、悠闲的活动。
它并不是动感十足的剧烈运动，而是诞生在生活节奏比较缓慢、比较太平的年代的一项运动。

课文译文UNIT 1TextA中国式的学习风格1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。
我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。
由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。
本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。
他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。
由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。
本杰明一点也不在意。
他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。
我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。
他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。
但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。
饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。
他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。
然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。
我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育（尤其是艺术教育）的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。
因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。
两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。
既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的，既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢？他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。
为什么不教他怎么做呢？他会高兴，他还能早些学会做这件事，进而去学做更复杂的事，如开门，或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以（也应该）示范给他看。

Trying doors as he went, twirling his club with many intricate and artful movements, turning now and then to cawn the pacific thoroughfare, the officer, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.

Now and then you might see the lights of a cigar store or of an all-night lunch counter; but the majority of the doors belonged to business places that had long since been closed.

Painting as a pastime绘画消遣1 A gifted American psychologist has said, "Worry is a spasm of the emotion; the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go." It is useless to argue with the mind in this condition. The stronger the will, the more futile the task. One can only gently insinuate something else into its convulsive grasp. And if this something else is rightly chosen, if it is really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins.一位天才美国心理学家说过：“烦恼是感情的发作；此时大脑缠住了某种东西不肯放手。
”在这种情况下，和头脑争论（让它放手）是无用的。
愿望越强烈，与之争论就越是徒劳。
你只能温和地将另一种东西慢慢灌输到痉挛状态的头脑中。
如果（这一东西）选得恰当，而且它真的从另一领域的情趣中受到启迪的话，那么逐渐地，往往也是迅速地，原先不适当的“不肯放手”就会慢慢放松，恢复和补救的过程就会开始。
2 The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of first importance toa public man. But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will. The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process. The seeds must be carefully chosen; they must fall on good ground; they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed.因此，对于公众人物而言，培养业余爱好和新的兴趣才是上策。

But Fortune’s favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their ple■asure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

How empathy unfolds
The author
Background information
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness, or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess why. Daniel Goleman’s brilliant report from the frontiers of psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our “two minds” — the rational and the emotional —and how they together shape our destiny.

Unit 14 Translate the sentences into Chinese. 1 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. (with their … and justice 部分最好提前，即先说学生的状况，再说学生与当权者的冲突。) 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情地投入到自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。 2 These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spiteof it. Of course, it’s true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime MinisterBlair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (eventhough a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics). 现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标，（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。 3 I never hoped to understand the nature of my generation or how American colleges are changing by going to Lit Theory classes. This is the class where you look cool, a bit sleepy from too many late nights and wearing a T-shirt with some ironic comment such as “Been there, done that and yes, this IS the T-shirt”.（第二句的主句是强调句式，汉译应在句法上稍做变通，以求类似强调语义的效果。a bit 以后的内容是进一步说明如何look cool 的，汉译可加破折号表明关系。）我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学是如何在变化的。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿，穿着一件T 恤衫，上面印着“去过那儿，干过那事儿，对，这就是那件T 恤衫”，或诸如此类带有讥讽意味的俏皮话。 4 We’re a generation that comes from what has been called the short century (1914－1989), at the end of a century of war and revolution which changed civilizations, overthrew repressive governments, and left us with extraordinary opportunities and privilege, more than any generation before. (由which引导的从句比较难处理。可以在at the end of the century of war and revolution 处拆句。前半部分讲“我们”所处的年代，后半部分讲这个世纪的特点。)我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪（1914－1989），生于其末尾。这个世纪充满了战争和革命，它改变了人类文明，推翻了强权政府，给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权，我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。 5 Translate the sentences into English. 1 政府采取的一系列措施不但没有化解矛盾，反倒激起更多的暴力冲突。反对党联合工会发动了一次大罢工，最终导致政府的垮台。(give rise to; form an alliance with; launch;bring about) Instead of resolving contradictions, the series of measures taken by the government gave rise to more violent clashes. The Opposition formed an alliance with the trade unions and launched a general strike, which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government. 2 如今，大学与现实世界的距离越来越小，学生也变得越来越实际。从前，大学是一个象牙塔，学者追求的是学问本身而不是把学问作为达到目的的手段，但这样的时代已经一去不复返了。 (shrink;gone are the days; a means to an end) Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and the students are becoming more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end. 3 我从未指望靠上课来学好这门课。但我确实去听课，因为在课上我能了解这门课的重点，学会如何组织材料、如何推理。(hope; by doing …; the place where) I never hoped to learn the subject well by attending those lectures. But I did go to lectures, for it was the place where I could get the important points of the course and learn how to organize materials and how to reason. 4 我一直想方设法解决这个难题，但就是找不到满意的答案。可是当我去厨房喝饮料的时候，我突然间灵机一动，意识到解决问题的方法实际上可能很简单。(work out; click) Although I have been trying every means to solve the problem, I cannot work out a satisfactory solution. But when I went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple. 。 __Unit 2 5 Translate the sentences into Chinese. 1 Such motor mimicry, as it is called, is the original technical sense of the word empathy as it was first used in the 1920s by E. B. Titchener, an American psychologist. Titchener’s theory was that empathy stemmed from a sort of physical imitation of the distress of another, which then evokes the same feelings in oneself.（第一句较复杂，应先弄清句子的主干，再根据各限定语的逻辑关系，按照汉语的语序来译。）这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”这个词于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E·B·铁钦纳首次使用时的原始技术含义。铁钦纳的理论是：同感萌发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模仿，这种模仿继而在自己心里引起同样的感受。 2 He sought a word that would be distinct from sympathy, which can be felt for the general plight of another with no sharing whatever of what that other person is feeling. Motor mimicry fades from toddlers’ repertoire at around two and a half years, at which point they realize that someone else’s pain is different from their own, and are better able to comfort them.（第一句中which 引导的定语从句，可译成两个分句，有必要重复“同情”一
