Day had broken exceedingly cold and gray,when the man turned aside from the main Yukon trail and climbed the slope,where a dim and little-traveled trail led eastward through the pine forest.The slope was steep,and he paused for breath at the top.There was no sun nor hint of sun,though there was not a cloud in the sky.It was a clear day,and yet there seemed to be a mist over the face of things,that made the day dark.This fact did not worry the man.He was used to the lack of sun.

The man looked back along the way he had come.The Yukon River lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice.On top of this ice were as many feet of snow.It was unbroken white,save for a dark hairline that was the trail that led south five hundred miles to the Chilcoot Pass.

But all this----the mysterious,far-reaching hairline trail,the absence of sun from the sky,the tremendous cold,and the strangeness and weirdness of it all----made no impression on the man.He was a newcomer in the land and this was his first winter.The tuouble with him was that he was without imagination.Fifty degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost.Such fact impressed him as being cold and uncomfortable,and that was all.It did not lead him to think about man's weakness in general,able only to live within certain narrow limits of heat and cold.Fifty degrees below zero stood for abit of frost that hurt and that must be guarded against by the use of thick,warm clothing.Fifty degrees below zero was to him just precisely fifty degrees below zero.That there should be anything more to it than that was a thought that never entered his head.

As he turned to go on,he spat speculatively.There was a sharp,explosive crackle that startled him.He spat again.And again,in the air,before it could fall to the snow,the spittle crackled.He knew that at fifty below spittle crackled on the snow,but this spittle had crackled in the air.Undoubtedly it was colder than fifty below----how much colder he did not know.But the temperature did not matter.He was bound for the old mine on the left fork of Henderson Creek wher the boys were already.They had come over the hill from the Indian Creek country,while he had come the roundabout way to take a look at the possibilities of getting out logs in the spring from the islands in the Yukon.He wouldbe in to camp by six o'clock;a bit after dark,it was ture,but the boys would be there,a fire would be going,and a hot supper would be ready.

He plunged in among the big pine trees.The trail was faint.He was glad he was without a sled,traveling light.In fact,he carried nothing but the lunch wrapped in the handkerchief.He was surprised,however,at the cold.It certainly was cold,he concluded,as he rubbed his numb nose and cheekbones with his gloved hand.

2. The Yukon trail _________.

A) was entirely covered by snow and ice

B) was a narrow path alongside the Yukon River

C) was 500 miles away in the south

D) was a path leading to the Chilcoot Pass

TThe last sentence of Para. 2 tells the reader that "a dark hairline that was the trail" led to the Chilcoot Pass. Here, the trail -- a dark hairline seen from the hillside -- has the same reference as "the main Yukon trail" mentioned in Para. 1. Therefore, Choice D is correct.

育空足迹_______。A)由雪完全地盖，并且冰B)是沿着育空河C)的一个狭窄的道路是外500英里在南D)是导致Chilcoot前个句子Para. 2告诉读者“一条黑暗的细线是足迹”带领Chilcoot通行证的PassTThe 的道路。这里，足迹-- 从山坡看的一条黑暗的细线-- 有参考和“”被提及的主要育空足迹一样在Para. 1。所以，选择D是正确的。

3. We learn from the passage that the man in the story _________.

A) reacted to everything in a matter-of-fact way

B) liked to think about the meaning of life

C) was troubled with the strangeness and weirdness of the place

D) could not cope with the extreme cold since it was his first winter in the area

In Para. 3, the man is described as one without imagination. "Fifth degrees below zero meant eighty-odd degrees of frost. ...and that was all." In other words, he reacted to the temperature "in a matter-of-fact way". A man without imagination would react to everything in such a manner.

. 我们从那的段落学会故事_______的人。A)起反应对一切用B)被喜欢的一个实际的方式考虑生活C)的意思麻烦了与奇异性，并且地方D)的古怪不可能应付极端寒冷，因为它是他的在areaIn Para. 3的第一个冬天，人被描述作为一个没有想象力。“在零的意味的八十多的零下度的第五程度之下。…和那是所有”。换句话说，他起了反应对温度“用一个实际的方式”。没有想象力的一个人会起反应对一切以这样方式。

Memories of Afghanistan

Afghanistan--a country on the brink of a humanitarian disaster,a land filled with fleeing refugees,starving people,and turbaned terrorists in training https://www.wendangku.net/doc/df17691957.html, pictures tell the story of a country in ruin and poverty,a country brought almost to total destruction by twenty years of war and struggle.Yet once-though poor-this was a proud nation,and a beautiful country,and one that had srvived many centuries of harsh history.Not too long ago,it was a country in peace,and one with a rich cultural heritage… Apart from the nations of Europe,there are few countries in the world that have never been under colonial rule--or at least never in recent times:Afghanistan was one of them.Many centuries ago,Genghis Khan's troops rode down from Mongolia,mercilessly killing the mountain tribesmen of Afghanistan who dared to resist the invader;but apart from this humiliating period in time,the Afghans--who are in fact a mixture of three separate ethnic groups--have held their heads high in the face of invasion. The country that is now at the centre of the world's attention was once one of the world's proudest nations,and a nation that other countries invaded at their own risk.In the 19th century the armies of the British Empire knew that Afghanistan was not a country to interfere with. A hundred and twenty years ago,in 1881,British soldiers were nonetheless stationed in the Afghan capital,Kabul.They were there for two reasons,firstly to help stop the Russians from invading the country,and secondly to ensure the existence of an indeppendent buffer-state between the Russian Empire to the north,and the British Empire in India (modern Pakistan) to the south east. Queen Victoria would have liked to add Afghanistan to her empire,but her soldier never succeeded in this mission,though they tried,and failed.In 1879,the whole British Mission(embassy)in Kabul,including servants,was massacred by their own king,Mohammed Yacoub.Yacoub was friendly to the British,so the British got the blame.The story of the Kabul Massacre was remenbered for a long time by the British in India,and recorded by several Victorian writers and poets.

Other bloody events also marked the relationship between the British and the Afghans in the 19th century.In 1842,in the notorious battle of the Khyber Pass,a complete British army was massacred by Afghans as they returned from a short raid into the country.Just one man,a doctor,managed to survive the massacre,and make his way back to the safety of India,to tell the story of the terrible event. Though the world has changed a lot since Victorian times,Afghanistan has changed little.In many ways,the Taliban have even moved the country back in time,to a dark age of ignorance,intolerance and repression;but even without the Taliban,Afghanistan would still,today,be one of the world's most undeveloped https://www.wendangku.net/doc/df17691957.html,nd-locked,aside from most modern routes of communication ,and broken up by the mighty Hindu Kush mountains and by vast deserts,Afghanistan,like the "tribal territory" of northwest Pakistan,has remained fiercely independent from outside interference,and strongly attached to its traditional ways. For the last twenty-five years,the Afghan people have suffered from war and destruction : the overthrow of the monarchy,then the invasion by the Soviet Union in 1978,then the war against the Soviets,then the struggle for control of the country between the Taliban and the sunpporters of General Massoud,now the massive departure of a people on the verge of starvation,driven from their homes as much by fear of the Taliban as by the threat of military invasion. Yet in spite of all this,despite the destruction of a large part of their country,the Afghan people remain kind and

hospitable.Older Afghans remember back to a past,when they lived in peace and relative security;younger Afghans,who have never known an era of peace,look forward to the day when a new age of peace will come.Hopefull,that new dawn will not be too far away.

回忆阿富汗 阿富汗-一个处在人道主义灾难边缘的国家，充满了逃离的难民，饥民，在训练营中缠头巾的恐怖分子的地区。电视照片讲述了一个在废墟和贫困中的国家的历史，一个经过二十年的战争挣扎，几乎彻底毁灭的国家。但是曾经，虽然穷，但它是一个值得骄傲的民族，是一个美丽的国家，一个在许多世纪的艰苦岁月中幸存下来的国家。不久以前，它是一个和平，具有丰富的文化遗产的国家… 除了欧洲国家，很少有国家在世界上从来没有被殖民统治或者至少是在近代从来没有。阿富汗就是其中的一个。几百年前，从蒙古来的成吉思汗骑兵部队，无情的屠杀着反抗侵略的阿富汗山地部族。但除去这段屈辱的历史，阿富汗人，其实由三个不同的民族所组成，都昂首挺胸的面对侵略。 现正正受世界关注的国家曾经是最贫穷的国家之一，一个在危险时期被其它国家侵略的民族。在19世纪，大英帝国的军队知道了阿富汗不是一个能被征服的国家。 尽管如此，在一百二十年前的1881年，英国士兵驻扎在阿富汗首都喀布尔，有两个原因：第一，阻止俄罗斯入侵该国，其次，以确保在俄罗斯和北部之间，在印度（现代巴基斯坦）的英国和东南部之间存在一个独立的缓冲区。 维多利亚女王本来希望阿富汗加入她的帝国，但她的士兵从来没有成功地完成这一任务，虽然尝试了但失败了.在1879年，在喀布尔的英国代表团（大使馆）包括公务员全部被他们自己的国王穆罕默德屠杀，穆罕默德对英国是友好的，因此英国引咎自责.喀布尔屠杀的故事被在印度的英国人记忆了相当长时间，并被几位维多利亚时代作家和诗人记录下来。

其他流血事件也标志着在19世纪英国和阿富汗之间的关系。在1842年，在臭名昭著的开伯尔山口战役，一队英国正规军在突袭阿富汗后返回的途中，遭到阿富汗人的屠杀.仅仅只有一名男子，一名医生，设法从屠杀中幸存了下来，并安全的返回了印度，讲述了整个可怕事件的经过。 尽管世界自维多利亚时代已经发生了很大的变化，但阿富汗却变化很小.在许多方面，塔利班甚至将国家推向一个无知，不容忍和压制的黑暗时期，但即便没有塔利班，今天的阿富汗依然是世界上最不发达的国家之一。除了最现代化的通信线路，陆地被连绵起伏的兴都库什山脉和广阔的沙漠所阻隔。阿富汗，正像当年巴基斯坦西北部的"种族领地"，极为封闭，并十分喜爱传统方式。 在过去二十五年，阿富汗人民饱受战争和破坏的煎熬：推翻君主体制，然后被苏联侵略。在1978年，要么是反抗苏联人的战争，要么是塔利班和穆罕默德支持者之间为国家政权的斗争。现在，由于害怕塔利班，同时也受到军事入侵的威胁，大量处于饥饿边缘的人离开了自己的家乡。 然而，尽管这一切，尽管国家大部分地区遭到破坏，阿富汗人民仍然友好和好客.老年阿富汗人回忆着过去他们生活得和平和相对安全;年轻的阿富汗人，他们从来不知道有和平时代，期待着有一天，一个全新的和平时代即将来临，期待着新的黎明将不会太远。

A) the Russians

B) the Mongols

C) the British

D) the T aliban

Apart from the period in time when Genghis Khan's troops rode down and killed those who dared to resist the invader, the Afghans "have held their heads high in the face of invasion" (Para. 2). The implication of the sentence is that only the Mongols conquered the Afghans.在阿富汗的整个历史，征服的唯一的军队阿富汗人是那些_______。A)俄国人B)蒙古C)英国D)从期间的T alibanApart及时，当Genghis Khan的队伍乘坐了下来并且杀害了敢抵抗侵略者的那些人，阿富汗人“拿着他们的头高在入侵面前” (Para. 2)。句子的涵义是只有蒙古征服了阿富汗人。

A) invade Afghanistan and turn it into a British colony

B) help the Afghans drive away the Russian invaders

C) establish an independent and peaceful state between Russia and British India

D) extend the British Empire to the southeast

Choice C correctly states one of the two reasons why British soldiers were stationed in Afghanistan; that is, "to ensure the existence of an independent buffer-state between the Russian Empire..., and the British Empire in India..."(Para. 4). A buffer-state is a small peaceful country between two large ones.

Unit2

Atomic Cars

Every motorist dreams of a car of the future that does not have to be refuelled every few hundred miles, a car that will cost little to run because there is no outlay on petrol.

''Of course'', you hear it said by an optimistic motorist, ''the answer is the atom. Harness atomic power in a car, and you'll have no more worries about petrol. The thing will run for years without a refill.'' And, theoretically, he is right. The answer is the atom. If atomic power could be used in a car, one small piece of uranium would keep the engine running for twenty or more years. Of course, this would cut the cost of running a car by quite a few hundred pounds, depending upon how much you spend on petrol.

But is this science-fiction-like picture of the atom exploding peacefully beneath the bonnet of a car possible? In theory it is, since already the atom has been harnessed to drive submarines, and an atomic engine is already in existence. But, say the experts, there are many problems still to be conquered before such an engine can in fact be fixed into a car.

Now what exactly are these problems that stand between you and a car that you will never have to refuel? Frankly, most of them can be summed up in one word -- radiation. An atomic reactor, the kind of engine that would produce energy by atom-splitting, throws off radiation, extremely dangerous radiation. These rays are just as dangerous as when they are released from an atomic bomb. This radiation penetrates anything except the thickest concrete and lead, with fatal results for anybody in its path. Thus, at the moment, any car carrying an atomic engine would also have to carry many tons of lead in order to prevent the radiation from escaping.

Since a car made up of tons of lead is rather impracticable, the only answer at the moment seems to be the discovery or invention of a metal that will be strong enough to hold in the rays, but at the same time light enough for a vehicle to carry, with ease and economy. Most likely this metal would have to be synthetic, since no natural metal except lead has yet proved fit for the job. When this light metal is invented, the motoring world will be well on the way to an atomic car. However, even after the invention

of a protective but light metal, two other problems still remain, those of economics and safety.

It is extremely doubtful whether at the beginning a really economic engine could be made, that is, one cheap enough to make it worth putting in a car. But it seems safe to say that eventually, as technology and mass production come in atomic engines, the price will go down. This is basic economics, and manufacturers should eventually be able to produce something that will at least be cheaper than having to pay for petrol during the lifetime of the car.

But then this third problem still remains, that of safety. Suppose that there is a road accident involving one, or perhaps two, atomic cars, and that the atomic reactor or its protective covering were damaged. Any explosion would be equal to that of a very small atomic bomb. The effects of such an explosion would be felt for several miles around. As will be realised, this is perhaps the biggest problem of all to overcome. Is it possible to make an atomic engine that will be really safe in every circumstance? 原子汽车每个驾驶人作梦不必须被加油每上百英里未来的汽车，将花费一点跑的汽车，因为没有在汽油的费用额。"当然"，您听见它由一个乐观驾驶人说，"答复是原子。利用在汽车的原子能，并且您不会有对汽油的没有其他忧虑。事多年来将跑，不用替换物。" 并且，理论上，他正确。答复是原子。如果原子能可能用于汽车，铀一个小片断将继续引擎跑二十或更多年。当然，这将削减汽车的费用由一些负责操行一百磅，根据多少您在汽油上花费。

但是这是否是科学小说象平安地爆炸在汽车的帽子的之下原子的图片可能的？在理论上它是，从原子已经被利用驾驶潜水艇，并且一个原子引擎现有已经是。在这样引擎可能实际上是固定的入汽车之前，但是，专家说，那里是仍然将被征服的许多问题。现在什么正确地是站立在您和汽车之间的这些问题您不会必须加油？坦率地，大多数在一个词可以被总结-- 辐射。一个原子反应堆，将通过原子分裂，辐射，极端危险辐射的投掷导致能量的这引擎。当他们从一枚原子弹时，被发布这些光芒是正危险的象。这辐射用任何人的致命结果击穿任何东西除了最厚实的混凝土和主角，在它的道路。因此，在，运载一个原子引擎的所有汽车也将必须运载许多吨主角为了防止辐射逃脱之时。

因为汽车由吨主角做成是相当行不通的，唯一的答复当时似乎是发现或将是足够强的举行在光芒，但是同时足够光运载的车，容易地和经济的金属的发明。很可能这种金属将必须是综合性的，因为没有自然金属，除了主角证明了工作的适合。当这种轻的金属被发明，开汽车的世界很好在途中到一辆原子汽车。然而，在一种防护，但是轻的金属的发明，其他二个问题仍然依然存在以后，那些经济和安全。它是极端半信半疑的一个真正地经济引擎是否可能首先被做，即，一个足够便宜地做它值得投入在汽车。但是说最终，作为技术和大量生产进来原子引擎似乎安全，价格将下来。他的辐射用任何人的致命结果击穿任何东西除了最厚实的混凝土和主角，在它的道路。因此，在，运载一个原子引擎的所有汽车也将必须运载许多吨主角为了防止辐射逃脱之时。因为汽车由吨主角做成是相当行不通的，唯一的答复当时似乎是发现或将是足够强的举行在光芒，但是同时足够光运载的车，容易地和经济的金属的发明。很可能这种金属将必须是综合性的，因为没有自然金属，除了主角证明了工作的适合。当这种轻的金属被发明，开汽车的世界很好在途中到一辆原子汽车。然而，在一种防护，但是轻的金属的发明，其他二个问题仍然依然存在以后，那些经济和安全。

Improving Industrial efficiency through Robotics 利用机器

Robots, becoming increasingly prevalent in factories and industrial plants throughout the developed world, are programmed and engineered to perform industrial tasks without human intervention.

Most of today's robots are employed in the automotive industry, where they are programmed to take over such jobs as welding and spray painting automobile and truck bodies. They also load and unload hot, heavy metal forms used in machines casting automobile and truck frames. Robots, already taking over human tasks in the automotive field, are beginning to be seen, although to a lesser degree, in other industries as well. There they build electric motors, small appliances, pocket calculators, and even watches. The robots used in nuclear power plants handle the radioactive materials, preventing human personnel from being exposed to radiation. These are the robots responsible for the reduction in job-related injuries in this new industry.

What makes a robot a robot and not just another kind of automatic machine? Robots differ from automatic machines in that after completion of one specific task, they can be reprogrammed by a computer to do another one. As an example, a robot doing spot welding one month can be reprogrammed and switched to spray painting the next. Automatic machine, on the other hand, are not capable of many different uses; they are built to perform only one task.

The next generation of robots will be able to see objects, will have a sense of touch, and will make critical decisions. Engineers skilled in microelectronics and computer technology are developing artificial vision for robots. With the ability to "see", robots can identify and inspect one specific class of objects out of a stack of different kinds of materials. One robot vision system used electronic digital cameras containing many rows of light-sensitive materials. When light from an object such as a machine part strikes the camera, the sensitive materials measure the intensity of light and convert the light rays into a range of numbers. The numbers are part of a grayscale system in which brightness is measured in a range of values. One scale ranges from 0 to 15, and another from 0 to 255. The 0 is represented by black. The highest number is white. The numbers is between represent different shades of gray. The computer then makes the calculations and converts the numbers into a picture that shows an image of the object in question. It is not yet known whether robots will one day have vision as good as human vision. Technicians believe they will, but only after years of development.

Engineers working on other advances are designing and experimenting with new types of metal

hands and fingers, giving robots a sense of touch. Other engineers are writing new programs allowing robots to make decisions such as whether to discard defective parts in finished products. To do this, the robot will also have to be capable of identifying those defective parts.

These future robots, assembled with a sense of touch and the ability to see and make decisions,

will have plenty of work to do. They can be used to explore for minerals on the ocean floor or in deep areas of mines too dangerous for humans to enter. They will work as gas station attendants, firemen, housekeepers, and security personnel. Anyone wanting to understand the industry of the future will have to know about robotics.

机器人在所有发达国家的工厂日益普及，它们被编程、设计，在无人情况下执行工业任务。现今大多数机器人用于汽车工业，人们对其编程，从事如汽车卡车车身焊接、喷漆之类的工作。它们也装卸汽车和卡车框架的机器中所有的炽热、笨重的金属铸模。

机器人已经在汽车行业接任了人类工作，在其行业也开始看到它们的身影，虽然使用程度低一些。在那里它们制造电动马达、小型设备、袖珍计算器，甚至手表。用于核电站的机器人处理辐射材料，使职员不暴露于辐射。这些机器人可以减少这一新型工业中与工作有关的伤害。

什么使机器变成机器人，而不是其他的自动化机器呢？机器人与自动化机器的区别在于完成一项特定工作后，它们可以被电脑重新编程去执行一项任务。比如说，一个机器人做了一个月的点焊，可以重新编程，下个月转向喷漆。相反，自动化机器却没有许多不同用途，它们只是为了招待一项任务而被建造。

下一代机器人将能看见物体，具有触觉，能作出关键性的决定。精通于微电子和电脑技术的工程师正在为机器人开发人造视力，有了"看"的能力，机器人就能从一推不同的材料中鉴别检查出具体的一类物体。机器人礼堂系统采用包含多行感官材料的电子数码相机。当一个物体上的光，如机器零件，照射到相机上时，敏感材料就可测量出光的强度，把光线转换为一组数字。这些数字是灰度系统的一部分，其亮度由一系列数值测量。一个刻度范围是0到15，另一个是0到225。0用黑色表示，最高值用白色，其间的数值用不同的灰色阴影来表示。然后计算机进行计算，并将数字转换为表明该无题形象的图像。现在还不知道有一天机器人是否具有人类一样的好视力。技术人员想信它们会的，只是需要多年的开发。

在其他方面取得进展的工程技术人员正在设计和试验新型金属手臂和手指，使机器人具有触觉。其他工程人员正在编写新的程序使机器人做出如是否抛弃成品中有缺陷的零件的决定。要做到这点，机器人还必须具有鉴别有缺陷零件的能力。

集触觉、看和做决定的能力于一体的这些未来机器人将会做大量的工作。它们可以用于海底探矿或探测对人类太危险的深层区域的矿物。它们可以做加油站服务人员、消防人员、房屋管理员和安全人员的工作。任何想了解未来工业的人必须懂机器人。

Needing and Wanting Are Different

分类：english reading2008-09-12 07:45

"Mon,can I have soem money?"Those are the words my mother used to hear all the time.In turn,I heard,"Why don't you get a job?Not to make me happy,but so that you have your own money and gain a bit more responsibility."So last year I got a job with Montogomery Ward's phonto studio,working about 25 hours a week.For $5an hour,I wa a telephone salesman,trying to pursade people to come in for a free photograph.

All this was during football season and I was on the team as a kicker.To do football and homework and my job at the same time because really hard.I was burning out,falling asleep at achool,not able to concentreate.My first calss was physics and I hated it.I'd just sit there with my hand on my cheek and my elbow on the desk,and start dozing.One day,the teacher asked my partner what I was doing and she said,"Oh,he is sleeping."The teahcer came to the back of the class and stared at me.The whole calss looked at me for about two minutes and laughed.

My third-period histroy teahcer was really concerned.She was cool.A lot of times,I'd fall asleep in her class.She'd scream,"Wake up!"and slam her hand on my desk.I'd open my eyes for about two minutes,pay attention and go back to sleep.She asked me if I could handle school,football and work.I said,"Yeah.I am doing OK so far."She said,"Why?Why all this?"

I told her it was for the things I need,when actually it was for the things I wanted.Needing and wanting are different.Needing something is like your only shoes have holes in them.But when a new pair of sneakers came out and I like them,I'd get them.My parents didn't feel it was right,but they said,"It is your money,you learn to deal with it."Within two years I had bought 30 pairs.My parents would laugh."You got your job,you got your money-but where is your money now?"They didn't realize how much my job was hurting my schoolwork.

My priorities were all screwed up.On a typical night I did about an hour of homework.A lot of

times it was hard for me to make decisions:do I want to be at work or do I wnat to be at pracitce?Do I want to worry about what I 'll have in the future?Sometimes I felt there was no right choice.One week in the winter I had to work extra days,so I missed a basketball game and two practices.(I am on that team,too.)When a substitution opportunuty came at the next game,the coach looked at me and said,"OK,we are running1-5",a new play they had developed during the practices I had missed.I told him I dindn't know,so he told me to sit b ack down.I felt really bad,because there was my chance to play and I wouldn't.

I really did resent work.If I hadn't been so greedy,I could have been at practice.But I kept working,and the job did help me in some ways.When you have a lot of responsibilities,you have to learn how to balance everything.You just grow up faster.At home,your parents always say,"I pay the bills so while you are here you are under my rules."But now with my money I say,"No,no,no.You didn't pay for that,I did.That is mine."

Slowly,I have come to deal with managing money a lot better.At first,as soon as I had money,it was gone.Now it goes straight into my bank account.This year I decided not ot work at all during football season.I have a lot more time to spend with other players after the game and feel more a part of the team.I have onlyfallen asleep in the class once so far.I am more confident and more involved in the classes.My marks are A's and B's,a full grade better then this time last year.I am hoping that will help me get into a better college.I don't go shopping as much.I look at all the sneakers in school and think,"I could have those"but I don't need https://www.wendangku.net/doc/df17691957.html,st year I thought that being mature meant doing everything.But I am learning that part of growing up is limiting yourself,knowing how to decide what is important,and what isn't.

需要和要不同的分类：英国读书2008-09-12 07:45是否是“星期一，能我有一些钱？“那些是词我的母亲过去常常一直听见。反过来，我为什么听见了，“您没得到工作？不使我愉快，但是，以便您有您自己的金钱并且获取更多责任。“我那么去年得到了与Montogomery病区的phonto演播室的一个工作，工作大约25个小时每星期。$5an小时，I wa电话推销员，设法对pursade人为一张自由照片进来。

My三期间histroy teahcer真正地有关。她是凉快的。很多次，我会睡着在她的类。她会尖叫，“醒! “并且关上她的在我的书桌上的手。我会张开我的眼睛大约二分钟，给予注意并且去睡。如果我可能处理学校、橄榄球和工作，她问我。到目前为止我说，“做的Yeah.I上午好。“她为什么说，“？为什么所有这？”

I告诉她它是为我需要的事，当实际上它是为我要的事。需要和要是不同的。需要某事是象仅您的鞋子有在他们的孔。但是，当一个新的对运动鞋出来了，并且我喜欢他们，我会得到他们。我的父母没有感到是不错，但是他们说，“它是您的金钱，您学会涉及它。“在二年内我买了30个对。我的父母会笑。“您得到了您的工作，您得到了您金钱，但是现在的地方是您的金钱？“他们没体会多少我的工作损害我的schoolwork。

我的优先权全部弄糟了。在典型的夜我做了1小时家庭作业。很多次做出决定我是难：我是否想要是在工作或我是否想要是在pracitce ？我是否想要担心什么我在将来将有？有时我感到没有正确的选择。一个星期在冬天我必须工作额外天，因此我错过了篮球比赛和二实践。

(我是在那个队，也是。)，当opportunuty的代替来了在下场比赛，看我和说的教练，“好，我们是running1-5”，他们开发了在实践期间我丢失了的新的戏剧。我告诉了他I dindn't知道，因此他告诉我坐下b ack。我感觉真正地坏，因为有我的机会使用，并且我不会。

I真正地再寄了工作。如果我不是很贪婪的，我可能是在实践。但是我继续工作，并且工作在一些方面帮助了我。当您有很多责任时，您必须学会如何平衡一切。您长大更加快速。在家，您的父母总是说，“ 当您是这里您在根据我的规则时，“我如此付帐单。“但是现在与我说的我的金钱，“没有，没有，没有。您没有支付那，我。那是我的”。

Slowly，我来涉及很更好处理的金钱。起初，当我有金钱，它去。现在它进入直接我的银行帐户。在橄榄球季节期间，今年我决定了不是ot工作。我更大量有时间花费与其他球员在比赛以后和感觉更多队的部分。一次到目前为止我有onlyfallen睡着在类。我确信和介入类。我的标记去年是A和B's，更好一个充分的成绩然后这次。我希望将帮助我进入一所更好的学院。我不去一样购物。我看所有运动鞋在学校并且认为，“我可能有那些"，但是我不需要他们。去年我认为是意味的成熟的做一切。但是我获悉一部分的长大限制自己，会决定什么是重要的，并且什么不是。

How to Prepare for an interview

分类：english reading2008-09-11 07:18

Being interview is a situation that nearly everyone faces at some time in life,whether for college or for a job.Most people face this ordeal with anxiety and even fear.However,people who prepare for an interview aviod much of this anxiety.Preparing for an interview involves doing advance

research,choosing the right outfit,and planning appropriate communication with the interviewer. Doing research bebore the interview will increase the chances for successful interview.Find out the location of the interview site and decide how to travel there to arrive on time.Nothing makes as poor an impression on an interviewer as arriving late.In addition,learn about the company or institution where you are being interviewed.This will help you ask intelligent questions.If your interview is for admission to a school,find out what courses the school offers in your field of interest.For a job interview,find out about the kind of work the company does.If you already work at the company and are being interviewed for a promotion,research the duties of the job for which you are applying.Such research will show the interviewer that you are interested in obtaining the job or being admitted to the school.

Dressing appropriately for interview is inportant because your appearance will be the first thing the interviewer notices about you.This means wearing clean,nearly pressed clothing and subdued color combinations such as brown or navy with white.You want to make a good impression,but at the same time you do not want to attract attention to your clothing.Also,you want to show that you can use good judgement.If you wear loud colors or overly noticeable clothes,the interviewer might question your judgement about what's acceptable behavior for a school or office setting. Preparing what you might say to the interview will help you feel more in control of the situation.From your research,prepare a list of questions that you would like to ask the interview.As you prepare what you might say,remind yourself of what not ot say.For instance,you wonn't want to ask questions that are too personal.Also,remind yourself not to talk too much,Make a mental note to let the interviewer guide and control the course of the meeting.Also plan to answer the interviewer's questions fully,explaining your answers reather than replying by saying only yes or no.Remember,the interviewer is trying to form an impression of ou and how you would fit in at the school or company.

By following these steps,you will be prepared for your interview and feel more confident about the results.You will also increase your chances of making the good impression that is important for getting accepted into the school of your choice or landing the job you want.

Unit 4

The Suburban Century

The United States is a nation of suburbs. The 1990 census makes it official. Nearly half the country's population now lives in suburbs, up from a quarter in 1950 and a third in 1960.

The third century of American history is shaping up as the suburban century. Until 1920 most Americans lived in rural areas. By 1960 the country was a third urban, a third rural, and a third suburban. That balance didn't last long, however. By 1990 the urban population had slipped to 31 percent and the rural population was down to less than a quarter. We are now a suburban nation with an urban fringe and a rural fringe.

The first century of American life was dominated by the rural myth: the sturdy and self-reliant Jeffersonian farmer. By the end of the nineteenth century, however, Americans were getting off the farms as fast as they could, to escape the hardship and brutality of rural life.

Most of the twentieth century has been dominated by the urban myth: the melting pot; New York, New York; the cities as the nation's great engines of prosperity and culture. All the while, however, Americans have been getting out of the cities as soon as they can afford to buy a house

and a car. They want to escape the crowding and dangers of urban life. But there is more to it than escape. As Kenneth T. Jackson argues in Crabgrass Frontier, a history of suburbanization in the United States, the pull factors (cheap housing and the ideal of a suburban ''dream house'') have been as important as the push factors (population growth and racial prejudice).

The 1990 Census tells the story of the explosive growth of suburbs. That year fourteen states had a majority suburban population, including six of the ten most populous states (California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and New Jersey).

Suburban growth is not likely to end anytime soon. According to the polls, 43 percent of Boston residents, 48 percent of people who live in Los Angeles, and 60 percent of those who live in New York City say they would leave the city if they could. When the Gallup Poll asked Americans in 1989 what kind of place they would like to live in, only 19 percent said a city.

Is there a suburban myth? Sure there is. It has been a staple of American popular culture since the 1950s, from television shows like The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It to Beaver to movies like E.T. The debunking of the suburban myth has now reached American popular culture, where television comedies about lower middle-class families like Roseanne and The Simpsons portray the harsh realities of suburban life -- unemployment, troubled families, and, above all, stress.

郊区世纪美国是郊区的国家。1990年人口调查使它正式。几乎一半国家的人口在郊区现在居住，在1950年在1960年从一个处所起和三。

第三个世纪美国历史塑造作为郊区世纪。直到1920个多数美国人在乡区住。由1960国家第三都市，第三农村和第

三郊区。然而那平衡长期没有持续。在1990年之前城市人口滑倒了对31%，并且农村人口比处所是下来较少。我们现在是有一个城市边缘的一个郊区国家和一个农村边缘。

第一个世纪美国生活由农村神话控制：健壮和自力更生的杰斐逊主义农夫。在19世纪底之前，然而，美国人出发农场一样快速，象他们可能，逃脱农村生活的困难和残酷。

大多数20世纪由都市神话控制了：熔炉; 纽约，纽约; 城市作为繁荣和文化国家的伟大的引擎。一直，当他们可以买房子和汽车，然而，美国人是离开城市。他们想要逃脱都市生活的拥挤和危险。但是比逃命有更多对它。肯尼斯T.杰克逊在某杂草边境争论，次都市化的历史在美国，拉扯因素(便宜的住房和理想一个郊区"梦之家")是一样重要的象推挤因素(人口增长和种族偏见)。

1990年人口调查讲郊区激增的故事。年十四状态有多数人郊区人口，包括六十个最人口众多的状态(加利福尼亚、宾夕法尼亚、俄亥俄、密执安、佛罗里达和新泽西)。郊区成长不可能很快结束。根据民意测验、波士顿居民的43%，在洛杉矶住人的48%和活在纽约说那些人的60%他们将离开城市，如果他们可能。当袭步投票1989的被问的美国人什么样的地方他们希望居住，只有19%说城市。

那里s一个郊区神话？肯定有。它是美国通俗文化钉书针从20世纪50年代，从象Ozzie和哈里特冒险的电视节目并且留下它对海狸对象 E.T.的电影。揭穿郊区神话现在到达了美国通俗文化，关于中产阶级的下层家庭的电视喜剧象Roseanne和Simpsons刻画郊区生活的严酷的现实-- 失业、混乱的家庭，并且，首先，重音。

Adapting to the New World

Originally,I was born in South Korea and lived there all my life until I married and moved to America.While living in America for five years now,I have tried to adapt to the rapid pace of change in my life.Although I felt worried at first,I doubted that I would find many differences between our two countries.After all,we are much alike even though we speak different languages,and have different traditions and cultures.People in both countries wear bule jeans,love children,and seek freedom.Despite these similarities,I found it difficult to adjust,for so much was alien to me.

Most difficoult for me was learning a new language.I discovered that American English combines the influence of many other languages,mostly European language was heavily influenced by Chinese until about 400years ago.For Korean learners of English,the different uses of noun and verb are hard to grasp,at first.For example,an English speaker would ask a question by reversing the noun and verb,and often separating the verb,as in "Where are you going?"However,in Korean,one would ask,"You go where?"Learning a new language was hard for me,but an essential part of beginning life in this wondrous land.

Next,I needed to adjust to American food,which is relatively mild,with the exception of Cajun dishes.Generally,Korean food is very spicy,like Kimchi,which covers many types of pickled cabbage and other vegetables;Korean cannot live without it,and often make their own from pld family recipes.In addition,Koreans enjoy low fat,mostly vegetarian diets.The American diet,on the other hand,consists of high-fat,very aslty items,like the fast food and instant TV dinners which are so popular.There foods may account for the high rates of heart attacks and strokes,cholesterolclogged veins and fatness among Americans.

Finally,Koreans and Americans treat marriage very differently.Even though we have entered the twenty-first century,many Korean marriages are arranged by matchmakers hired by parents.Or,parents of marriageable children will get together and arrange their marriages.Of course,some marriages come about through dating just as in America-young people meet,fall in love,and decide to marry.Tet,despite or because of arranged marriages,the Korean divorce rate is very low compared with American divorces.This may be due largely to the strong family bonds in

Korea.

On the other hand,young people in America are allowed the greatest freedom in choosing their partners;they base marriages almost entirely on love,never through matchmakers.And a very strong trend,nowadays,is for two parsons to live together for a while before getting married,though many never formally marry.

Despite these differences between our cultures,I've realized that Koreans and Americans have much in common.We tend to seek freedom,share the same excitement at a new birth,and want to make good friends.Also,we place a high value on hard work,often spending long hours at our own businesses in order to send our children to good colleges;we want to give them opportunities earlier generations could only dream of.If we can learn to accept cultural differences as unique values,the world my be more peaceful.We need to put aside our often unfounded attitides of superiority and prejudice against other cultures.

适应新的世界

Originally，我出生在南韩，并且居住那里所有我的生活，直到结婚了并且移动了向America.While现在住在美国的我五年，我在我的生活上设法适应变化的高速。虽然我感觉起初担心，我怀疑我会发现我们的二个国家之间的许多区别。终究，我们是象的，即使我们讲不同的语言，并且有不同的传统和文化。人们在两个国家佩带bule牛仔裤、私生子和寻求自由。尽管这些相似性，我发现了难调整，为了非常是外籍人对我。

我的多数difficoult学会一种新的语言。我发现美国英语结合许多其他语言的影响，主要欧洲语言由直到大约400years的汉语沉重影响前。对于英语的韩国学习者，对名词的不同的用途和动词是难掌握，起初。例如，一个讲英语者通过扭转名词和动词和经常分离动词会问问题，在“何处您进来？“然而，在韩国语，一个会问，“您是否的地方去？“学会一种新的语言为我，但是起点生活的一个主要部分是坚硬的在这精采土地。

其次，我需要对美国食物调整，除Cajun盘之外，是相对地温和的。通常，韩国食物是非常辣，象Kimchi，报道泡菜和其他菜的许多类型; 韩国语不可能居住没有它和由pld家庭食谱经常做他们自己。另外，韩国人享用低脂肪，主要素食主义者节食。美国饮食，在另一只手，包括是很普遍的高脂肪，非常aslty项目，象快餐和立即快餐。那里食物也许占心脏病发作的高速率和冲程、cholesterolclogged在美国人之中的静脉和肥

终于，韩国人和美国人非常不同地对待婚姻。即使我们进入了21世纪，父母雇用的媒人安排许多韩国婚姻。或者，可结婚孩子的父母将聚会并且安排他们的婚姻。当然，有些婚姻通过约会出现正在美国年轻人民见面，坠入爱河，并且决定结婚。Tet，尽管或由于被安排的婚姻，韩国离婚率是非常低的比较美国离婚。这也许主要是交付的对强的家庭结合在韩国在另一只手上，青年人在美国提供在选择他们的伙伴的最伟大的自由; 他们几乎完全地根据婚姻爱，从未通过媒人。并且一个非常强的趋向，现今，是为了二位教区牧师能有一阵子在一起生活在结婚之前，虽然许多从未正式地结婚。

尽管我们的文化之间的这些区别，我意识到韩国人和美国人有共同兴趣。我们倾向于寻找自由，分享同一兴奋在新的诞生，并且想要交好朋友。并且，我们在坚苦工作安置一个上限值，经常度过长时间在我们自己的企业为了派遣我们的孩子到好学院; 我们想要提供他们早期世代可能只作梦的机会。如果我们可以学会接受文化差异作为独特的价值，我的世界是更加平安的。我们需要把优势和偏见放到一边我们的经常无理由的attitides对其他文化的。

Why I Love the City 我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。“另一个朋友抱怨交通:“有太多的汽车市区!你不能找到一个停车的地方,交通堵塞的情况都很可怕。“每个人都在抱怨关于犯罪:“城市有许多罪犯。我很少离开我的房子”的幻影却如太危险了。 在我朋友搬离城市,他们通常会背诵优势郊区生活:绿草、花卉、游泳池、烤肉等等。然而在我的朋友们在那里住了一年左右的时间里,他们意识到郊区生活就不那么愉快,因为他们期待。这种变化的原因是什么?他们的花园!他们很快了解到,一个不可避免的一部分yardwork郊区生活。他们整个周末都在工作在他们的花园,它们是非常累的一把,又要取他们的水池游泳甚至做一些肉放在他们的烤肉。又有另一个投诉:他们不能住在郊区没有一辆车。我的大多数朋友都搬到郊区,避开塞车,但现在他们不得不上班市中心。他们坐在一个繁忙的公路每天两个小时! 我的意见是非常不同的城市生活,从我朋友的我住在市区吗?和我爱它! ! !为什么?嗯,首先,我喜欢nature-flowers、绿草、树木和动物。在这个城市里,我有一切优势自然:我可以步行通过公共公园,闻闻花香,坐在草地上在树下。我可以参观,动物园里的动物。然而到目前为止我还没有一个缺点:我不需要做yardwork或喂动物。同时,在这个城市,到处都可以让我乘公共汽车吗?如果有交通堵塞,我可以走回去。 似乎每个人都搬到郊区,避免罪恶的大城市。我有一个理论的城市犯罪的,然而,所以我觉得安全罪犯将反映在社会生活的变化:如果人们买了房子在郊区,罪犯将步其后尘。罪犯想避免噪音、烟雾、污染了。不久,过于拥挤和犯罪的问题,而不是城市郊区! People on the Move 美国人的历史,在某种程度上,历史运动的美国人民。他们移到东海岸的殖民地到开放空间的西部。从乡下搬,农场到城里去。最近,美国人一直不断地由城市郊区。 开放空间;西部地区迁移 美国人开始先驱移动,从东海岸到西250年前。他们向西边移居的原因有许多种。一个理由是无限的开放空间的可用性和土地耕作。美国人喜欢大的开放空间,他们也喜欢独立和自由发展的土地以他们自己的方式。一些土地变得农场。重要的矿产资源被发现在某些地区,因此有一些那地就都归了地雷。其他大型地区成为牛牧场。似乎对每个人都有足够的土地。但这是一个困难的生活——一种无止境的工作和困难。 城市 1860年以后,工业革命改变了美国。美国人学会了如何生产的钢铁。他们开始生产石油。汽车被发明了。工厂各类开始出现,而在城市开始长大了工厂周围。农民和其他的国家里,人们搬到越来越多的城市人为了寻找工作,更容易的生活。在1900年代早期,城市工作忙、令人激动的地方。然而,也有很多贫穷和困苦。 城市增长的城市建筑taller-and不必得到增长out-they展开的中心。私有房屋和门廊与码就消失了。公寓,每一个个子比下、就住在他们的地方。越来越多的人搬到城市,越来越大,城市。 一些城市不能分散因为没有房间这么做。这些城市,纽约就是一个最好的例子,变得越来越拥挤。更多的人意味着更多的汽车、卡车、公交车、更大的噪音,更多的污染,以及更多的犯罪。许多城市变得丑陋肮脏。有些人而有些公司开始离开城市搬到郊区城市外围。 郊区 搬到郊区的仍然是发生。美国人正在寻找一小块土地,他们可以叫他们自己。他们想要一座房子和院子。然而,他们不想放弃好的工作在城市。在许多情况下,公司在郊区给他们的工作。在其他情况下,美国人常常通勤到城市,在城市他们职业。近年来,越来越多的企业开始向郊区迁移。他们吸引了很多人,郊区变得拥挤。 接下来要做什么? 美国人看了他们缓慢下落到大城市年久失修而死。许多人离开了城市中产阶级,只有非常富有的人和很多贫困的人呆在后面。有关美国人正设法解决这一问题的噪音、灰尘、犯罪和污染在大城市里。他们正试图重建坏的部分城市为了吸引和保持业务的人。他们正在努力使他们的城市美丽。如今,许多美国人都正在考虑搬回了城市。 其他美国人发现甚至郊区已经变得太拥挤了。他们正在寻找无污染的开阔空间和作为独立的生活方式。他们准备离开郊区到乡下。 也许美国人总是会在前进。 Caution: Bumpy Road Ahead

大学英语Unit 1 课文翻译

学外语 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。

P e t s There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t(美味的) food for cats and dogs.

In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for 20 of them. On the menu, there are varieties of special gourmet dishes for dogs to choose from. There is a sausage dish, a turkey dish, and a pasta dish, among others.

新编大学英语（第二版）第一册阅读文参考译文 Unit One 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而他们却落在了一所有传教士们办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。如果不立即采取行动，显然她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要相配血型的血。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适，而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。 5 这位医生会讲一点越南语，忽视会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”，她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。 5 "Logic." “逻辑学。” 6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。”

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4) Unit 1 享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？ 1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？ 2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。 3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。这么说是有道理的。 4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。” 5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。如果这个妙语含有一定的幽默成分，这个笑话便会很有趣。通常笑话都包含这三部分，而且每部分都必须交代清楚。如果讲故事或说笑话的人使用听众都熟悉的手势和语言，则有助于增强效果。 6 我们可以对幽默这种娱乐形式，进行分析，从而发现究竟是什么使一个有趣的故事或笑话令人发笑。举例来说，最常见的幽默有以下几种，包括了从最显而易见的幽默到比较微妙含蓄的幽默。 7 “滑稽剧”是最明显的幽默。它语言简单、直截了当，常常以取笑他人为乐。说笑打闹这种形式过去是、现在仍然是滑稽说笑演员和小丑的惯用技巧。它为不同年龄、不同文化背景的人们所喜爱。几乎本世纪的每个讲英语的滑稽说笑演员都曾以这样或那样的方式说过下面这则笑话。一位男士问另一位男士：“昨晚我看到的那位和你在一起的贵妇是谁？”那位男士回答道：“那可不是什么贵妇，那是我老婆。”这个笑话的幽默之处在于第二位男士说他的妻子不是一位贵妇，也就是说她不是一个高雅的女人。这个笑话并没有因为经常讲而变得不再那么好笑。由于这是一个经典笑话，观众都知道要说什么，而且因为大家对这个笑话很熟悉而更加珍爱它。 8 中国的相声是一种特殊的滑稽剧。相声中两名中国喜剧演员幽默地谈论诸如官僚主义者、家庭问题或其他一些有关个人的话题。相声随处都能听到，无论是在乡村的小舞台上，还是在北京最大的剧院里，抑或在广播、电视上。它显然是中国人家喻户晓的一种传统的幽默形式。 9 “俏皮话”不像滑稽剧那样浅显，它是因语言的误用或误解而引人发笑。我特别喜欢

为自己而写 从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这—一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—·本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。 我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年，不少日子过去了，还真率出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题供我们选择。像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数—样乏味。我把作文题带回家，——直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。… 这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有—个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中，我回想起来，当晚我们笑作—团，争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那…切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐，而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而，照我希望的那样去写，就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后，我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分，再没时间为弗利格尔先生写——篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午，我别无选择，只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文，他把别人的都发了，·就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命—放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训，却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文，敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 “好了，孩子们，”他说。“我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是：吃意大利细面条的艺术。” 于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是，全班同学都在听着他念，而且听得很专心。有人笑出声来，接着全班都笑了，不是轻蔑嘲弄，而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次，好抑制他那丝拘谨的微笑。我尽力不流露出得意的心情，但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑，我真是心花怒放。就在十——年级，可谓是最后的时刻，我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的——刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道：“瞧，孩子们，这就是小品文，懂了没有。这才是一知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓，知道了没有。祝贺你，贝克先生。”他这番话使我沉浸 在十全十美的幸福之中
