Unit 7 College Life

Useful Information

Students leave for college at age 17 or 18, many of them have never been away from home and their family. The transition to greater freedom and responsibility may be difficult for them, with no one to wake them up for breakfast or do their laundry, and fewer classes to attend but larger amounts of homework. Some students do not adjust successfully. In the U.S., where almost 70% of high school graduates enter college, only a minority of these actually graduate. Elsewhere, with fewer attending college, higher percentages may graduate.

College has many social attractions, some of which can be distractions. Sports, concerts, parties, and dormitory bull sessions (闲聊) can be very time consuming. The temptation to stay up too late at night or sleep too late in the morning is always present, so self-discipline is an important lesson to learn. In addition many students have part-time jobs, especially in the U.S. where most students have cars and are expected to help their parents pay for tuition or college housing.

Students and their parents may disagree on how much time should be devoted to studying. But they usually agree that in addition to some learning and possibly some fun, one of the outcomes of a college education should be a good job. Students who have already worked at part-time jobs have an advantage in the job market, but this is not the only way to improve one’s chances. Many colleges have internships or co-op programs to give students practical experience in their future careers. Others have special classes where students can practice their application forms and letters, résumés, personal statements, and employment interviews. Most colleges have career counselors and either career days or career fairs where students can meet potential employers and learn about career alternatives. Recently many jobs have been listed on the Internet, making it easier to match students with suitable opportunities and more important for students to acquire computer skills.

College can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be very stressful. Making their own decisions can be very difficult for young people accustomed to parental supervision. When students make bad decisions, such as drinking too much beer or procrastinating in their studies, they are not always mature enough to admit or correct their mistakes. But having the freedom to make these mistakes, and the obligation to face their consequences, is part of the learning process. When older people look back on their student years, they usually view this as a happy period of life, even if it did not always feel that way at the time.

Parents, teachers, advisors, and counselors can help students move successfully from high school to college and from college to careers. But in the last analysis students must do most of this for themselves, with more help than we may realize from their friends and

classmates. College students learn as much outside as inside the classroom, and most of this is not learned from adult authority figures. The peer group and the youthful popular culture are increasingly strong influences on today’s students. So parents and other potential role models should try to be aware of this, even if they don’t always appreciate the latest trends in casual clothing or pop music. College is a time of change, and the parents can learn almost as much from this as the students can. They too were once students, just as today’s students will one day be parents.

Part One PREPARATION

1. Talking about Your High-School Classmates

Sample:

I graduated from __________ High School, a key high school in __________ Province. Among the 50 students in my class, 48 are enrolled in universities, mostly national key universities. Three went to Peking University and two to Tsinghua University. The three who went to Peking University are majoring in Law, Philosophy and Physics respectively and the two who went to Tsinghua University are majoring in Computer Science and Information Science. In this university alone there are five of us, doing different majors; three of my former classmates are enrolled in normal universities, one in Beijing Normal University, one in South China Normal University and one in East China Normal University.

2. Talking about Your College Life—Expectations vs Reality

Sample :

1) Campus:

Expectations—large and beautiful campus with green grass everywhere and a large sports ground, where you can always see students busy and full of vitality.

Reality—Just as what I dreamed of –a huge campus with magnificent modern buildings, green trees, blooming flowers and a river flowing around.

—Contrary to what I expected, it’s an old campus, large though, with grey buildings like huge match-boxes, little grass, and a few big trees.

2) Classroom buildings:

Expectations—large new classrooms with modern facilities.

Reality—well equipped teaching buildings with multi-media facilities.

—large old buildings, with a few classrooms well equipped with modern facilities.

3) Dormitories:

Expectations—crowded with little space for everyone.

Reality—true, but we may choose to live in a double room if we can afford the rent.

4) Students’ cafeterias:

Expectations—spacious dining halls, full of hungry students.

Reality—true, and there is a great variety of food that will definitely appease our appetite.

5) Library:

Expectations—a large collection of books, journals and periodicals; spacious and well-lit reading rooms.

Reality—true except that the reading rooms are not large enough and students have to get there early in order to find a seat.

6) Classmates:

Expectations—friendly and speaking different dialects.

Reality—true.

7) Teachers:

Expectations—old, gray-haired and wearing thick glasses; strict and formally dressed.

Reality—not true because many teachers are very young, especially English teachers, many teachers do not wear glasses and many teachers wear casual clothes.

3. Happy College Days

Sample1:

The most impressive experience for me is running for the chair of the Student Union.

I used to be very timid. That experience, however, helped me gain much confidence. For the first time, I made a public speech and realized, all at once, that I had the potential to organize. One thing that shouldn’t be left out is that my friends and classmates gave me enormous support. I did appreciate what they had done for me.

Sample 2:

I believe that the New Year’s Eve of 2004 can never be erased from my mind. Thousands of students gathered in the auditorium waiting for the new year. We held the lighted candles in our hands, our hearts beating with the rhythm of the music. Minutes went by. When the big clock finally turned straight upward, screams and laughter resonated in the hall. We hugged and said New Year’s greetings to each other. It was such a thrilling moment.

Words, Phrases and Grammatical Points

1. You have spent four years supposing that failure leaves no record. (l. 2-3, Passage I)

这个句子中leave 表示to allow or cause something to stay。

I) The shoes left muddy marks on the floor.

II) If you take two, then that leaves three for me.

2. Confronting difficulty by quitting leaves you changed. ( l. 5, Passage I)

This sentence means: Dealing with a difficult situation by quitting will make you a different person. Here ―changed‖ is an object complement.

I) The terrible floods left thousands of people homeless.

II) Far from improving things the new law has left many people worse off than before.

3. ... you had better not defend errors but learn from them. (l. 11, Passage I)

action or giving advice.

I) You had better/You’d best take a look.

II) You’d better stay at home till you get over the cold.

4. When you tossed on our desks writing upon which you had not labored … (l.20, Passage I)

The objec t ―writing‖ has an attributive clause. In order to keep modifiers close to the words they modify, it is put behind the adverbial ―on our desk‖. And in the attributive clause, the preposition ―upon‖ is put before ―which‖.

5. … it was not even that we want ed to be liked by you. It was that … (l. 25, Passage I)

In both cases, ―it‖ is used to give a reason why the professors do all this (see the question at the end of Para.4) and suggest that there may be other reasons.

I) It’s not that I didn’t want to be w ith my family.

II) It may be that you will prove to be the best man.

III) No, no, it couldn’t be that they were interested in him.

6. …, then I don’t know what could be. (l. 17-18, Passage II)

Here ―what could be‖ is an elliptical clause, meaning: (… then I don’t know) what could be

useful for the real world.

7. … your chances of getting into a fine graduate school are almost none. (l. 23-24, Passage II)

The word ―chances‖ here means the possibilities (of getting into a fine graduate school).

I) We’ve got no chance of getting in without a ticket.

II) Being very good at science subjects, I stood a good chance of gaining high grades.

Post-Reading

Reading Comprehension

1. Understanding the Organization of the Text

Passage I

1) The message Prof. Neusner passes to the graduates. (Para.1)

We take no pride in our educational achievement because we have inadequately prepared

students for the real world.

Reason: At Brown, during the four years, students have formed the belief that failure leaves no record, while in the real world failure marks you.

2) Two different attitudes toward errors. (Para.2)

At Brown, students defend their errors by arguing about:

A. why their errors were not errors;

B. why mediocre work was excellent;

C. why they could take pride in their poor presentation.

In the real world, graduates had better not defend their errors but learn from them.

3) College is an altogether forgiving world. (Para.3-5)

No matter what slight effort students made, they could meet the demand.

A. When students broke appointments, professors make new ones.

B. When the deadline was missed, professors pretended not to care.

C. Boring talks were considered to be important.

D. Unlabored writing was commented on.

E. Dull students were treated as if they were smart.

The reason why professors did all this was not that they wanted to be liked by students,

but that professors did not want to be bothered and pretense was the easy way out.

4) Prof. Daniel’s viewpoint. (Para.6)

—Most teachers/professors are strict and responsible;

—Class attendance is required, otherwise points will be deducted;

—Our schedule is so tight that we have little time for sports and other activities;

—We are required to take too many quizzes, exams, etc.;

—High marks are very hard to get;

—Our dormitories are crowded and our cafeteria is not spacious enough;

—We have to learn to take care of ourselves.

5. College Students at Different Times

Sample:

So far as I can see from the pictures, the college students in the 1920s look quite sober, because it was a time when China had just been free from feudalism but was suffering the ravage of such imperialist countries as Russia, Britain, France and Japan. People of that era were patriotic, cherishing a dream to save the country with their knowledge.

Most college students in 1960s and 70s, compared with those from late 1980s or later on, were very like-minded. They were so enthusiastic or even crazy about the ―Cultural Revolution‖. Ambitious as they might be, they were unable to escape from the big mess which the whole country was in.

We college students today are more confident and independent. Thanks to the modern technology, we have broader views and easier access to the outside world. We enjoy those modern facilities which students decades ago couldn’t even ima gine. Since China has become stronger and more developed, we feel we have a higher status in the world.

Despite the many differences I think Chinese college students, in spite of the time, share many similarities. We’re all hard-working, honest and patriotic. These traditional Chinese values will never change.

Part Four WRITING AND TRANSLATION

1. Translation Practice

1) 理解、应用概念和记住那些考试一结束就会忘得一干二净的事实，这两者之间有着明确的区别。

2) 尤其在技术领域，变化如此迅速，以致于我们从本科教育中所能期望的最大收益是学习能力的培养。因此，记住事实不如获取应用的能力。

3) 对教授们来说，考试是评估学生掌握了多少知识的最为简易的方法，至少在比较大的班级是如此。

4) 现实生活远非一场开卷考，它是一场你永远都无法完全准备好的考试，而且你根本无法补考。

5) 在现实生活中，我们无法预测明天会发生什么，也不知道该准备些什么。

6) 成功失败，起起落落，这些都是现实生活的特征，它并非如人们所猜想的那么容易。

2. Writing

1) Sample:

Dear friend,

After I read your essay ―Those College Finals‖, some questions pop into my mind. You said that the most miserable moment of a college student’s life is during final exam week, that real life is an open-book test, and that real life is much easier than college life.

However, I don’t quite agree with you. Firstly, the purposes of finals are to show how students are getting on with their studies, help them find their weaknesses and have a better grasp of what they have learned. If one works hard at other times, one shouldn’t be afraid of finals. The final exam week is thus by no means the most miserable moment. Secondly, in real life, we can’t anticipate what will happen tomorrow and don’t know what should be prepared for. So it is not easier. On the contrary, it is much more difficult than college life.

So I think you need to take a closer look at college life and real life, gain a better understanding of both so that you won’t go to extremes. I hope you’ll be more positive towards the world. (189 words)

Yours Sincerely,

2) Sample:

When the National Entrance Exam was approaching, simulated tests became more frequent. One morning, we had a math test first. It was very difficult and we were all very depressed. The physics test would soon follow. We all begged the teacher not to give it, but he wouldn’t listen. We could do nothing but take it. It was even more difficult. You can imagine how frustrated and exhausted we were when we left the classroom around noon.

That afternoon, we had two hours of English. To our despair, the English teacher had a pile of papers too! Perhaps she saw we were all tired, she didn’t distribute the papers at once. Instead, she asked us, ―Wouldn’t you like to have an English test today?‖ We were almost paralyzed by too many tests and too many failures, so we shouted in chorus, ―No!‖ She was astonished. A few seconds later, she said, ―No, we won’t have the test today.‖ (160 words)

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting linguistic gender difference among native speakers of English is the likelihood of women using these color terms to differentiate between shades of purple, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word “purple”. This is true of other color words too.

原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较

龙源期刊网 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/d01523047.html, 原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较 作者：叶文彦 来源：《速读·下旬》2019年第09期 ◆摘; 要：本文先介绍了英语原版教材在中国高校的使用现状，又从教学目标、教学理念和选材三方面对原版英语教材和国内自编教材进行了比较，最后提出应该基于本土情况对原版英语教材进行一定程度的本地化。 ◆关键词：原版英语教材;国内自编教材 近年来，越来越多的高校开始关注原版英语教材，因其地道的语言和独特的英语文化等特点，许多教师在课堂上广泛地运用这类教材。 一、原版英语教材在中国高校使用的现状 伴随着全球化的深入，中国高校对于英语的教学要求也在逐年提升。高校不仅要培养具备英语基础知识的人才，还立足于培养出能熟练运用专门用途英语的人才。教育部也多次出台文件强调双语教学在高校教学中的重要性，更规定了大学课程中使用双语教学的比例。而教材对于双语教学有着至关重要的作用，教材的质量很大程度上决定了该课程的教学质量。现今高校双语教育的教材多可归为两个类型，即原版英语教材和国内自编教材。众多著名高校纷纷采用原版英语教材教学，多的数目甚至高达百门。课时在实际操作中还是暴露出了一些问题。一方面，很多原版教材难度较高，学生因而产生畏难情绪，与母国文化相比有较大的文化差异，挑战了学生的成长价值觀，另一方面国内自编教材又常常过于简单，有教条化的问题，无法起到实战指导的作用。整体来说，原版英语教材确有其优势，例如英语语言的准确性，教授知识的快速更迭以及纯正西方文化的传播。而且国内自编教材的出版周期要比原版英语教材场，从内容的时效性看就不是特别强。所以在高校课堂中有选择地使用经过评估的高质量原版英语教材是可行的，它既能帮助学生提高英语水平，又能有效提升教学的品质。可是，原版英语教材也存在一些问题，例如文化差异、知识产权、教学理念的冲突等等，所以比较恰当的做法是在比较原版英语教材和国内自编教材并进行分析的基础上对原版教材做一定程度的本土化。 二、原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较 1.教学目标差异 原版英语教材的教学目标是培养学生实际运用语言的能力，教材编写时往往遵循交际教学法的原则，会呈现出较浓厚的交际分为。比如，经济科学出版社出版的《新编剑桥商务英语》就是属于这个类别，该教材自引进面世以来在我国广受欢迎，成为了最经典的商务英语教材之一。《新编剑桥商务英语》编写的主要目的就是让学生在提高语言能力的基础之上，以交互的

新编大学英语第三册各单元作文范文

Unit 1 Sample 1 It is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them: 1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in the morning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism. 2. Build up your self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as you can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Your list will help you see your abilities. 3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise. Try your best to become an optimist. Sample 2 Are you an optimist or a pessimist? If you're a pessimist, here is some advice for you. As everyone knows, pessimism is harmful to people. It makes you unhappy and unhealthy, and even brings depression, loneliness and failure. Pessimists tend to suffer more failures and setbacks because they don't believe they can succeed and thus don't struggle for it. Optimism, by contrast, can make you happy, healthy and successful. So it is good for you to change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist. Here are some suggestions for you to become an optimist: 1. Remember that everyone experiences failures and disappointments. So when you fail, don't blame yourself too much. It may not be your fault. 2. When you fail in something, profit from the failure as a learning experience instead of getting depressed. And next time, you can make your plans to be more successful. 3. When you fail, don't be discouraged. Try again. Don't let negative thoughts hold you back. Just give yourself another chance. So never give up just because you failed. Pessimism is harmful, but it can be changed. Trust yourself and try to adopt an optimistic attitude, and then you will be a winner in life more often.

Music to Your Gears Andy Ellis 1 尽管音乐能使心中的怒气平息，但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。近期研究表明，听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力，而且心理学家也提醒人们，持续大音量地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的，尤其是处于车流中或是在高速公路上开车时。 2 音乐有两个极端，任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏使人莽撞驾驶，而聆听处于另一个极端的优美而令人舒心的音乐会使司机过分放松，以至于超过安全限度，陷入迷糊状态。 3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全，它委托搞了一个项目，研究重大车祸与音乐之间的关系。这项研究发现，17至25年龄段的男性是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。研究还发现，这个群体的人70％的开车时间都在听音乐。 4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响，会使人易怒好斗，开起车来冲劲十足。这种司机也就更容易去冒险。开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。 5 在试验中，那些自愿参加实验的司机说，听了声音很响的音乐，他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车，但的确发现自己换挡更快，加速更快，刹车也更急了若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲，他们承认自己经常走神。在一次高速公路长途驾驶过程中，至少有两位参加试验的司机发现自己在不知不觉中跨越了车道标志。 6 这些自愿参试的司机（有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照）所发表的意见非常说明问题18岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会：“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐有可能让人送命。我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。” 7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听“ZZ顶级”乐队最流行的曲子。他说：“我一直在快速行驶，扯着嗓门唱歌，没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。” 8 还有些人说：“我陷入了深思……”，“人的感觉会变得麻木……”，“听不见别的汽车声是个问题”，“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。” 9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐，如肖邦的音乐，会刺激人的大脑，使思维模式发生变化，激发阿尔法脑波，使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。处于放松状态在大多数时候对我们有好处，但开车时则不然。心理学家雪利·费希尔教授提醒人们说：“最大的危险是疲倦驾驶。有一些音乐会使你无法集中注意力，甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态，那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。” 10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听，但是当交通状况糟糕时，或是交通拥挤时，这种音乐会分散你的注意力。” 11 然而，音乐也有其好的一面，正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特·韦斯特所指出的那样：“如果说有些音乐影响我们安全行驶，那么反过来也是有道理的。精心选择的曲子有助于我们安全行驶，尤其是对高风险的群体而言。例如，要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼托瓦尼的音乐，他们很可能会把速度放慢。但可悲的是，我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。” 12 除了一些音乐会影响行驶安全，我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明，小交通事故中，有大约40％是由于人们更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的！ 13 无论我们对音乐的品位如何，无论我们的开车风格如何，看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产出了一种汽车智能系统——简称为ARIADNE（实时智能驾驶助理）的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置。它利用雷达技术，一旦面临撞车危险，雷达会使车内的电话响起，警告司机注意。 14 如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围，ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。随着两车之间的距离不断缩小，这种震荡会越来越强烈。要是司机

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting 2

Most people, however, seek ways to socialize, to relax or to have fun during their leisure hours. Obviously people's tastes vary depending on their income and their age. But in recent years, the home entertainment, industry has grown all over the world. Instead of going out to see a movie or taking a walk in a park, people of all ages prefer to turn on the television and stay at home. More and more families have tape recorders, CD players, VCRs and VCDs to add to the variety of leisure activities in the home. In some countries, young people spend hours sitting in front of their computers, surfing on the Internet or playing computer games. Despite the rise in home entertainment, there are still many people who enjoy spending some of their leisure time attending sports events or participating in competitive sports or other physical activities such as dancing and tai chi (shadow boxing). Exercise not only contributes to good health but also takes the mind away from worries and troubles. Concerts, plays and other performances constitute another source of entertainment outside
