我回去看我外婆的时候,她非常高兴地看到我已长成一个健壮的小伙子。我们一起聊天，回忆我小时候的一些事情。谈到一半的时候，外婆突然叹了一口气说，“大概以后再也见不到你了。”她的话使我震惊得拱起了眉头，不明白她为什么说出这么令人不安的话来。我们静静地坐了一会儿，外婆的眼里噙满泪水。她终于告诉我说，医生诊断出她得了严重的心脏病，已经发作了好几次，也一直在治疗，但情况一点也没有进展。我怪外婆一直把这坏消息瞒着我，并告诉她一定会有办法医治的，她却摇头否认。我伸出双臂抱着外婆，多么希望我们能在一起度过更多的时间。

回忆的时节

莎伦〃赖特

一个温暖宜人的夏日午后，在一棵松树下，我坐在一张旧毯子上与母亲聊天。我们来这个公园进行家庭野餐和聚会，已有很多年了，而且我和母亲经常会坐在这同一个地方。

近年来，我们一般只是谈谈生活，但有时也回忆起我的童年往事。比如我十三岁那年，第一次约会后，妈妈将我带到树下这个地方，给我讲解生理知识。又如几年以后，我的发型在高中毕业舞会显得不太合时宜，母亲让我在她怀中哭泣。但在这树下发生的最特别的事情，是我告诉母亲我要结婚了，当时她热泪盈眶。这次是她在我的怀里哭了。她说她很伤心，因为不再拥有那个小女孩，但她也很高兴看到我出落得成熟漂亮。

年复一年，我们看着公园里的松树长得巍峨挺拔，直至高耸入云。松树年年增高，我们之间的关系也越发密切，对彼此的爱也越发深厚。

在这个阳光明媚的下午，母亲和我静静坐着，呼吸着新剪的草散发出的清香。她的神情异常严肃，出乎意料地问我道：“我死了以后，你会带谁来？”

我皱起了眉头，狐疑地看了她一眼，然后微微笑了。过了一会儿，她还没有回以微笑，我开始纳闷她为什么会提出这样一个令人不安的问题。母亲捡起一片草叶，开始用指甲将它划成碎片。我非常了解母亲的各种习惯，这个动作表明她有心事。

有好几分钟的时间，我们静静地坐着，整理着自己的思绪。附近，几只蓝背樫鸟在嘎嘎叫着；头顶，一架飞机飞过，但这些并没有消除我们之间的尴尬。最后，我伸出手，握住了妈妈的手，“妈，什么事都可以跟我说的，”我说，“我们可以一起应付，就像以前一样。”

她凝视着我的脸，眼里噙着泪水，眼泪顺着苍白得吓人的脸颊流了下来。她还没开口，我就知道了：母亲将不久于人世了。

我紧紧地抱着她，听她诉说：她的心脏病越来越严重了，已经无药可救了。我想这个情况我已经知道一段时间了，只是一直不愿面对。她的心脏病已经发作了好几次，几年前还做过开心手术。但有一点我一无所知，而且她也一直瞒着我，那就是她的情况毫无好转。我们讨论了一下她的治疗方案，其实也是寥寥无几。我们哭了，拥抱在一起，只愿能有更多的时间在一起。

这已经是很多年前的事了，那天以后没多久母亲就去世了，那时我的儿子们还没有出世。我仍然到公园来，不过现在是带着我的儿子们。我仍然会坐在那棵茁壮的松树下，坐在旧毛毯上，跟孩子们说起家庭野餐、聚会和他们没见过的外婆。就像妈妈当年对我一样，我会谈论他们年少时的滑稽举动，表扬他们长大后所取得的成就。我们来到这个特别的地方来编织属于自己的回忆——我知道，这些回忆一定会令母亲自豪地微笑。

不久前，大儿子要我去公园，他有话跟我说。我们去了，坐在我们的树下。他嗯嗯呀呀了好几分钟，终于告诉我他要结婚了。我流下了快乐的泪水，儿子拥抱着我，他的拥抱可是难得又特别的。我告诉他我是多么地为他的成长而骄傲。

在那个凉爽的四月午后，沐浴在阳光中，呼吸着新剪的青草味道，我坐在那里，觉得自己回到了原地，就在这棵巨大的松树下。我把儿子揽在怀中，为他感到高兴，我知道，多年前当我告诉母亲我要结婚时，她也一样为我高兴。

从儿子的肩膀上方望去，我看到了几株最近新种的松苗。我想，当这些树长得高大挺拔之时，我的家人的生命也会跟它们一起延续不息吗？我希望我也能跟我的孙儿们分享这个地方。

头顶的树枝在微风中摇曳，我听到耳语般的声音：“我死了以后你会带谁来？”那是母亲的声音，我将儿子搂得更紧了。

移动的爱

埃米〃赫什伯格〃莱德曼

今晚我在煮饭时妈妈给我打电话。又是她，今天已经是第三次了。我知道是她打来的，因为“妈妈的手机”这几个字在我的手机屏幕上闪亮。我放下菜刀，抖掉手上的洋葱和红辣椒碎片。妈妈有手机了，天哪，这世界真变了。

曾经有一段时间，母亲在打电话找不到我时会着急、沮丧甚至有点歇斯底里，因为那时，我要么在做着全职工作，要么就是过着像马拉松赛一般的生活，从城市的一头跑到另一头接送孩子和狗，买日用品。假如她打电话到我家没人接，那可要出麻烦了。

“你去哪儿了？我打了有一百次了，你都没接电话。有人在家吗？”忙碌了一整天回到家，录音电话上总是这些哀伤的话。运气好的时候，她可能会跟我女儿通上话，让她给我留言，而通常我在一个星期以后才发现那用蜡笔写在电话单后面的留言：“打电话给外婆，她想知道你到底还住不住在这儿。”

我在厨房里忙来忙去，手机不稳定地夹在脸颊和耸起的左肩之间。

我一边拌着沙拉，一边听母亲讲她一天发生的事：带父亲去看医生，父亲的视力已经大不如他想象中好了，但她还是让他开车；跟朋友吃午饭，那人的丈夫得了阿尔茨海默氏症（一种老年痴呆症）；上运动课，虽然她肯定她开始上课以来，老师已经缩矮了两英寸。讲话的内容并不重要，重要的是我们之间所建起的那条无形的、跨越时空的联系。

一个朋友得了癌症要死了，母亲问我她该主动去看她呢，还是等她朋友请她去呢。

“去吧。”我跟她说。

埃莉诺的丈夫呢，就是那个得了阿尔茨海默氏病的。要不要请他们来吃晚饭，这会不会太为难？

“太为难谁？”我问。

七十八岁的母亲现在生活在一个四周环绕着恐惧之山的国度，放眼望去，全是高龄和疾病，她所了解、所珍爱的人和事都已消失殆尽。年轻时轻而易举走过的道路，如今变得困难重重，因为她不再自信有能力航行于我们如今所生活的世界。但是她用钢铁般的意志来面对这些障碍，决心让她的生活充满意义和目的。有的时候，她的这种决心也体现在要控制我的一部分生活。

“你有没有用我寄给你的通心粉调料汁谱？里面有全部的重要维生素，很多黑橄榄油，对身体系统很有好处的。”她指导着。

“啊，用了，很好！”我撒了个小谎，一边将从店里买来的海鲜酱倒进意大利面里。初为人妻、初为人母时，这种对我家庭小事的操纵令我不胜其烦，但现在，我倒是真的感激还有人关心我的维生素摄入量。

“我会给你寄几篇关于皮肤保养的文章，我想，你该想点办法来对付你脸上的那些小褐斑点。”她的话中透着权威，仿佛她是皮肤专家。

当我离开家去上大学时，我未曾料到我的离开会引发一场情感危机，让母亲花了好几个月时间才能克服。我离开以后，她需要的安慰比以往多得多，只有分享彼此生活中的琐事才能抚慰她的孤独。如果我太忙或太累，不想说话，我就只听她讲，我则一边叠衣服或为孩子们装好要带去学校的午餐。

外人听我们谈话可能会认为我们说的东西很琐碎，但实际上，这些是我们建立更亲密关系和加深互相了解的基石。我从她的话中听出她对父亲日益衰退的视力的真诚忧虑，也听出她对很多毕生知己即将离世的恐惧；我知道她给我食谱和医学建议，是怕我工作太辛苦，没有好好照顾自己；在谈论日常琐事的过程中，我们建立起双方都渴望的亲密关系。

几年前，母亲节时我给妈妈寄了张贺卡，这张卡现在还挂在她的冰箱门上。卡片的封面上是一个妇人正一边开车送孩子上学，一边借着旅行车的后视镜在搽

口红，上面写着：“哦，老天！我成了我妈了。”里边印着的是：“那我就太幸运了。”

挂断电话时，丈夫正好进门，我的手机像一个硕大的耳夹从耳朵上掉了下来。他把它从地板上拣起来，我告诉他，“我妈刚打电话来。”不管花钱多少，也不管什么时候，她有我的号码，这个号码就叫做“移动的爱。

新一代大学英语综合教程 1 期末考试答案打印版 UNIT 1 .2、Indeed, we might feel as if we are suddenly awash in friends. Yet right before our eyes, we're also changing the way we conduct relationships. Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone.Smaller circles of friends are being partially eclipsed by Facebook acquaintances routinely numbered in the hundreds. Amid these smaller trends, growing research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, one where electronic stimuli slowly replace the joys of human contact.确实如此，我们似乎感到突然之间好友数量井喷。不过，我们眼前也正在改变为人处世的方式。面对面的聊天正在被短信取代；相比打个电话，人们甚至更愿意使用这些电子交流方式。脸谱网上的熟人圈儿动辄数百人，相比之下，现实生活中规模较小的朋友圈则显得黯淡少光。在这些较细微的趋势中，越来越多的研究表明友谊的整个概念正在遭受危机，而我们也许正在一步步地迈向这个危机时代。所有这一切要把现代社会引向何方？也许现代社会就此陷入黑暗深渊，在这个深渊里，人与人之间交往的乐趣慢慢地被电子诱惑所取代。 8、No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, say, or a general busyness that means we have less quality time for others. How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job?当然，这并不是某个人的错。如今，交友压力来自方方面面。比如来自工作压力，或是整天瞎忙，无法和他人享有高质量的沟通时间。有人嘴上说友谊是生命中最重要的东西，却为了一份收入颇丰的工作远赴千里之外。这样的人还少吗？ 9、Of course, we learn how to make friends —or not —in our most formative years, as children. Recent studies on childhood, and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships, are illuminating. Again, the general mood is one of concern, and a central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called "unstructured time."当然，我们是在性格成型的最重要的孩提时期学会如何结交朋友或是如何断交。最近，关于儿童期和儿时生活对交友的影响的研究很有启发性。这些研究再一次关注了风气这个问题，其主要结论都与孩子缺少―计划外时间‖有关。 10、Structured time results from the way an average day is parceled up for our kids — time for school, time for homework, time for music practice, even time for play. Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street? But that is precisely the kind of fallow time so vital for deeper friendships. It's then that we simply "hang out," with no tasks, no deadlines and no pressures. It is in those moments that children and adults alike can get to know others for who they are in themselves. ―计划内时间‖源自每一天的时间安排方式，何时上学，何时完成家庭作业，何时进行音乐训练，甚至何时玩耍，一股脑儿的塞给孩子。然而，再寻常不过的是，没有任何一个时段是没有安排的。毕竟，现在谁还会让自己的孩子在街上闲逛呢？但是，恰恰就是这种―无所事事‖的时间对于深厚的交情至关重要。在这个时间段，我们只是闲逛，没有任务，没有最后期限，没有任何压力。就在这些时候，孩子也罢，成人也罢，才能真正了解同行之人。 12、Aristotle had an attractive expression to capture the thought: close friends, he observed, "share salt together." It's not just that they sit together, passing the salt across the meal table. It's that they sit with one another across the course of their lives, sharing its savor — its moments, bitter and sweet. "The desire for friendship comes quickly; friendship does not," Aristotle also remarked. It's a key insight for an age of instant social connectivity, though one in which we paradoxically have an apparently growing need to be more deeply connected.亚 里士多德曾经这样表达此意，妙不可言。他 说，亲密的朋友，是―一起吃盐的朋友‖。他 并不是说朋友们坐在一起，在饭桌上把盐传 来传去。他的意思是朋友们共享人生经历， 分享各种滋味，苦的，甜的。亚里士多德还 说过―交友的想法常常匆匆而至，但是真正的 友情往往姗姗来迟。‖这对于当今这个时代来 说是一种重要的真知灼见。因为，在这个时 代里，虽然人们能迅速建立关系，不过我们 反倒越发觉得需要更深一步结识他人。 UNIT 26、With persistence and practice, such a process can lead to lasting results. I know one Wall Street executive who sought to improve his empathy –specifically his ability to read people’s reactions and their perspectives. Before beginning his quest, the executive’s subordinates were terrified of working with him. People even went so far as to hide bad news from him. Naturally, he was shocked when finally confronted with these facts. He went home and told his family – but they only confirmed what he had heard at work. When their opinions on any given subject did not mesh with his, they, too, were frightened of him.只要坚持并不断实践，这样的过程能够 带来持久的结果。我认识一位华尔街的主管， 他想方设法提高自己的同理心。具体一点就 是读懂对方的反应，了解对方的看法。在开 始努力寻求改变之前，这位主管的下属惧怕 与其一起工作。人们甚至对他隐瞒坏消息。 最终面对这些情况时，他自己自然大吃一惊。 回家后，他告诉家人——但家人更肯定了他 在单位听到的一切。无论什么话题，如果家 人的观点未能与之吻合，他们也会害怕他。 7、Enlisting the help of a coach, the executive went to work to heighten his empathy through practice and feedback. His first step was to take a vacation to a foreign country where he did not speak the language. While there, he monitored his reactions to the unfamiliar and his openness to people who were different from him. When he returned home, humbled by his week abroad, the executive asked his coach to shadow him for parts of the day, Several times a week, in order to critique how he treated people with new or different perspectives. At the same time, he consciously used on-the-job interactions as opportunities to practice ―hearing‖ ideas that differed from his. Finally, the executive had himself videotaped in meetings and asked those who worked for and with him to critique his ability to acknowledge and understand the feelings of others. It took several months, but the executive’s emotional intelligence did ultimately rise, and the improvement was reflected in his overall performance on the job.这位主管向私人教师 寻求帮助，他回到工作岗位，通过实践和别 人的反馈来提高自己的同理心。首先，他到 一个语言不通的国家去度假。在异国他乡， 他审视自己面对不熟悉事物的反应以及对异 族人群的开放性。返回家乡时，一周的国外 生活已使他丢掉了所有的高傲，这位主管让 私人教师一周跟踪自己几天，每天跟踪自己 几个时段，以此评价自己对持新观点或不同 观点人的态度。同时，他还有意识地利用工 作现场与人交往的机会来实践―倾听‖异己观 点。最后，主管还让人拍摄他开会时的表现， 让下属以及合作伙伴评价自己承认并理解他 人感情的能力。这个过程持续数月，但最终， 主管的情商确实提高了，并在他的整体工作 表现上体现了出来。 8 It’s important to emphasize that building one’s emotional intelligence cannot – will not – happen without sincere desire and concerted effort. A brief seminar won’t help; nor can one buy a how-to manual. It is much harder to learn to empathize –to internalize empathy as a natural response to people –than it is to become adept at regression analysis. But it can be done. ―Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,‖ wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. If your goal is to become a real leader, these words can serve as a guidepost in your efforts to develop high emotional intelligence.需要强调的是，没有真诚的愿望 和竭尽全力的付出，培养情商是不可能的， 也不会有结果。一场简短的研讨会起不了作 用，实用操作手册也无法买到。要使同理心 内化为对别人的一种自然反应，才算是获得 了同理心，这比擅于回归分析要难得多。但 获得同理心也是能做到的。拉尔夫·沃尔 多·爱默生写道：―没有热情，就不可能取得 任何伟大的业绩。‖如果你的目标是成为一位 真正的领袖，这句话可以激励你不断努力， 提高情商。 UNIT 32、First, science is practiced by special people with a specific view of the world. Scientists try to be objective, unsentimental and unemotional. They do not let their feelings get in the way of their observations of real things, facts, as they call them. They often work in laboratories or in other areas where they can carefully control what they are working on. They do not just wander out onto the dock at sunset and look at the world with wonder, as a poet might. Ideally, they are also both honest and check them out and then utilize them in their findings so others can check them out and then utilize them in their own work. They do not claim more than they can prove, and often even less. But they are very proud of their calling and prefer to talk to other scientists rather than anybody else, especially poets, who tend to make them feel uncomfortable, to put them down.(Of course poets also feel scientists return the favor.)首 先，从事科学工作的是特殊的一类人，他们 具有特定的世界观。科学家努力保持客观、 理性，不感情用事，不会让感情妨碍他们观 察他们所说的实物和事实。科学家常常在实 验室或者他们能够严格控制研究对象的场所 工作。他们不会像诗人那样，在日落时去码 头闲逛，惊奇地观赏这个世界。典型的科学 家既朴实，又谦恭。他们总是尽量客观地汇 报他们的科学发现，以便别人能够证实并在 工作中加以运用。他们不会对自己不能证明 的事物妄加断言，甚至常常连自己能够证明 的也不去多说。然而，他们对―科学家‖这一 称谓引以为傲，更喜欢彼此相互交流，而不 太愿意和其他人交流，尤其是和诗人，因为 诗人总让他们感觉不自在，且常贬低他们。 （当然了，科学家在诗人眼里也不过如此。） 3、Second, science deals almost exclusively with things, not ideas or feelings, and with the external world and its workings, not inner states and their workings, despite the effort of some psychologists to be or seem scientific. The human body is considered to be or seem scientific. The human body is considered to be a part of the external world; the soul is not. Therefore, scientists work to understand the body but not the soul. Most scientists doubt the soul exists. The solar system and the universe are also part of the external world, although we have little enough direct evidence of their mode of existence. Scientists tend to assume the basic conditions of nature on Earth are the same everywhere in the cosmos.其次，科学的 研究对象基本上仅限于事物，而非思想或者 情感，仅限于外部世界及其运作，而非内在 状态及其运作，尽管一些心理学家也试图让 自己的工作具备或者显得有科学性。人体被 认为是外部世界的一部分，而人的灵魂则不 然。因此，科学家探索的是人的肌体，而不 是灵魂。大部分科学家怀疑灵魂的存在。太 阳系和宇宙也是外部世界的一部分，虽然我 们没有充足的直接证据来证明它们的存在模 式。科学家往往认为，地球上自然界的基本 状况无论在宇宙的何处都是一样的。 4、Mankind is only questionably part of the external world in this sense. Scientists are generally reluctant to deal with the behavior of large groups of men and women. Thus economists, for example, struggle to be considered scientists, but usually in vain. The external world of scientists contains some things, like quanta, quarks and quasars, that are
