Unit 2Values

Pair Work

1. What is the Salvation Army? What does a Salvation Army bell ringer do?

The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who helps it collect donations.

2. What did the boy ask the writer? What do you think made him raise such a question?

The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.

3. How did the writer answer? What does the writer's answer to the boy's question mean?

He said, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." This means that he was neither poor nor rich.

4. Why did the boy's mother scold him?

The boy's mother scolded him because the question was socially inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.

5. Is the writer poor or not in terms of material possessions? Give facts to support your conclusion.

Yes, he's. He’s economically he is poor. He lives in a small basement apartment. He doesn't even have

a color TV. He falls into the lowest income category And so on.

6. Does the writer feel poor? Why or why not?

No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.

7. In what situation does the writer feel out of place?

He feels out of place among people who ate primarily interested in material things.

8. What did the girl tell him before her visit to his basement apartment? And what happened after?

She told him that she was interested in what's on the inside. But after he Wok her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.

9. How ought one to understand such "a seemingly abrupt change in her priorities"? It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.

10. Can we infer from the essay what role commercials can play in society? Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.

11. Why does the writer say "December is the time of year I feel wealthiest"?

Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.

12. How has the boy's question affected the writer?

The boy's question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that.

●Cloze

If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas.

毫不犹豫地承认落入最低收入阶层。然而他否认他很穷，因为他觉得他的生活只是少了形式上的物质的富足，他不是致力于对金钱的追求，他珍视友谊的乐趣。他缺乏对物质的追求，然而，在当今物欲横流的社会，他仍然清楚地感觉到他记得一位女朋友不同意他的看法突然离开时，他感到了些许的伤痛。不过，还是有很多人佩服他，尤其是对于他在每个圣诞节扶贫募捐。

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
