（一）于是，我没有留下犯罪记录。但当时，最令人震惊的是我被无罪释放所明显依赖的证据。我有标准的口音，有受人敬重的中产阶级的父母来到法庭，有可靠的证人，还有，很明显我请得起很好得律师。想到这次指控的含糊不清的特点，我敢肯定，如果我出生在一个不

同背景的家庭，并真失业，则完全可能被判有罪。当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时，他的辩词很显然地紧紧围绕着我“学习成绩优异”这一事实

（二）在这里某些事情确实正在发生着。它比食品战要更混乱，比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜要重要得多。我的孩子们正在做的就像哥白尼过去所做的那样，纠正了悠久的地球中心宇宙系统为太阳中心宇宙系统。他们正在做的事情就好像鲁本-马特斯曾经做的那样，重新命名他的布朗克斯冰淇淋为哈根达斯，并且并未对产品做改动的情况下提升了价格。他们做的事情就像是爱德华-詹纳通过狂热的追寻治疗天花的方法而发现了牛痘。

当别人在研究那些得了天花的人们时，他开始研究那些暴露在外却从没有染病的人们。他发现他们都得过一种相似的但是温和的小病，牛痘，正是由于牛痘使得他们逃过了致死的天花。

（三）这是我从事教育事业的真实原因，这些在我面前成长和改变的人。当土壤开始呼吸的时候，作为一名老师就是在进行创造。

除教育之外的“提升”将给予我金钱和权力。但是我有金钱。我得到了我所享受的报酬:读书，与人对话和问一下像“成为富有的点是什么”的问题。我还有权力。我有权力去启迪，去激发才智，去提议书本，去指点迷津。其它权力要紧么?

但是教育也提供除了金钱和权力的其它东西:它提供爱。不单是学习、书本和思想的爱，也是作为一名老师感受到走进老师生命里，然后开始呼吸的稀少学生的爱。也许爱是一个错误的词:魔术可能会适合一些。

我教书是因为，在一些开始呼吸的人的周围，我偶尔发现自己抓住了与他们共同的呼吸。（四）我走出阳光，推开了破烂不堪的屏幕门，进入阴暗的房间，一个87磅重的身影蜷缩在轮椅上。

她的四肢扭曲。她的头部歪斜. 我们不能拥抱. 我们甚至不能握手. 她只能凝视着我微笑。

但是那是微笑！它可以穿过黑暗，掩饰被击打严重损坏的木地板、破烂的沙发、满布蜘蛛网的窗户。

我不忍心看别的任何东西，所以我的眼睛只盯住她那微笑，它是那么清晰，那么自信，它甚至令我的多数怀疑一扫而光。但我还是要问，这就是莎拉·莫里斯吗？

（五）我在周三看到母亲哭泣才让我知道我对母亲身上的的压力知之甚少,我对此十分震惊并且窘迫. 跟母亲坐在马车上, 我开始慢慢的明白了.

我猜我们有时候都不得不失败. 母亲安静的说. 我可以感受到他的伤痛和很强烈的情绪被我的到来打断. 突然, 一些东西在我的心中出现, 我坐过去挽着我母亲的胳膊.

她很安静的把他的脸靠在我的肩膀上. 我抱着她并且没有说话. 我明白我要做我应该做的并且就足够了, 在那一刻, 我感受到母亲的情感, 我明白这是她第一次如此脆弱. 她始终是我的母亲, 但是不仅如此：她像我一样是个普通的人, 同样要承受伤痛和失败.

（六）“你为什么不试着睡会呢? 我会叫你起来吃药的. ”

“我宁愿醒着. ”

过了一会, 他对我说“爸爸, 如果麻烦到你, 你没必要（一直）待在这里. ”

“这一点也不麻烦. ”

“不, 我的意思是, 如果将会麻烦到你, 你没必要待在这里. ”

………

我说, “你的体温正常, 没什么要担心的. ”

他说, “我不担心, 只是不能停止思考. （前面有说到他睡不着）. ”

我说, “不要多想了, 放松点. ”“我正在放松. ”他双眼笔直盯着前方说道, 心中明显地在紧紧抓住什么似的.

“把这个（药）兑水吃掉. ”

“你觉得吃了会有什么效果吗? ”

“当然会有些效果. ”

（七）哈洛 : （佯装笑容，竭力想缓和空气）举行街坊聚会是个不错的注意。（看了一下四周的人）能恢复正常，什么都成。

道克斯顿：（看着一张张脸，不慌不忙地摇摇头）正常？ (稍停) 我不懂，我不懂什么叫“正常”原先我以为我懂，可我现在搞不清楚了。

哈洛：我不是对你说过咱们会赔偿损失的……

道克斯顿：（眼睛紧盯着他）损失？（点点头）我不知道咱们是否清楚，那都是些什么损失？（又看看那一张张脸）也许最大的损失时了解到我们正常时是什么样子。咱们原来是这种人。透过表面就能看清。我是说咱们全都如此。都是些赤裸裸的畜生，把性命看的那么重，为了能够活下去。可以把自己的邻居活活卡死。（他靠在楼梯边的墙上，突然感觉疲惫不堪；他一面转身离开他们，一面轻声说）今天晚上咱们没有挨炸弹……可是我怀疑即使没有炸弹，咱们是否就一定不会完蛋。他继续拾级而上。

（八）现在你就来尽可能生动地按你所希望的那样想象一下你自己吧。记住将你想达到的目标想象成似乎你已达到了。仔细琢磨一番这一图像的全部细节。每一个细节都要看得清楚、明晰。将这些细节深深地刻印在你的记忆里。这样生成的记忆痕，据信会影响你的日常生活。它们将帮助把你引向你要达到的目标。

当然，白日做梦绝不能代替艰苦的努力。如果你要在运动上有所成就，你还得进行大量的练习。你得努力提高技术。如果你要学业优异，你绝不能忽视学习。单是白日做梦不能使你功成名就，如愿以偿。但与较为通常的自我提高的方法结合起来，它就有可能起关键性的作用。是仅仅干得好一些，还是成为冠军，其差别往往在此一举。

（九）尽管作了最大努力，沙克特只能召集到 60 名合唱歌手。骨瘦如柴的他们聚集在小小的舞台上，艾希曼身着纳粹的全副戎装坐在前排。犹太人的目光直逼纳粹们，他们越唱越激昂：

愤怒之日到来之际必将这世界化为灰烬……审判来到之时颤栗吧……有仇必报。

演出结束，没有任何掌声。纳粹们默默地起身离座。艾希曼临走时，有人听到他得意地笑着说：“他们在给自己唱挽歌呢。”他永远也不会知道犹太人是在给他唱挽歌呢。（十）然而，此后只用 58 年，就把这一速度提高到原先的 4 倍。到 1938 年，人们乘坐飞机旅行，时速超过 400 英里。后来，只用了 20 年瞬息功夫，这个速度就又翻了一番。到了 20 世纪 60 年代，火箭飞机的时速接近 4 千英里，而人们乘坐宇宙飞船则以 1 万 8 千英里的时速绕地球运行。

我们无论是考察旅行的距离，达到的高度，还是考察矿产的开采，这样一种加速的趋向都是显而易见的。这里，以及其它上千种的系统的统计资料里，都明白无误地呈现出这种模式。数千年过去了，然后，到了我们的时代，一切极限突然统统被打破，出现了不可思议的突飞猛进。

Unit 1 Your college years 1你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化？你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标？你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化？尽管大学生很少想这些，但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。 2在这段时期，学生们正经受自我认同危机，他们努力要了解自己的身份，掌握自身的优缺点。当然，优缺点他们兼而有之，且两者都为数不少。重要的是人们如何看待自己，其他人又如何看待他们。皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论，根据他们的观点，性格特征是由先天基因（即父母的遗传物质）所决定，由外部环境而形成，并受偶然事件的影响的。人们受环境的影响，反过来也影响他们的环境。人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。 3学生们经历自我认同危机的时候，他们也开始渐渐独立，但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。事实上，这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。高中一毕业，一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我，因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。 41984年4月杰利弗·A·霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》，文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。第一，独立处理日常生活的能力，它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力，如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。第二，态度独立，即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。第三个心理分离过程是情感独立，霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。例如，大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业，而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。第四是摆脱“对父母的过度内疚、焦虑、疑惑、责任、反感和愤怒的心理”。大学生们需要退一步看清自己在介于独立与依赖之间的冲突中所处的位置。 5可能大学生们面临的最紧张的问题之一就是构建自己的性别特征，这包括与异性之间的关系和对未来自身男性或女性角色的设计。每个人必须将其性格特征定义为男性或女性角色。这一过程中兴奋与受挫并存。也许没有什么比恋爱更能让学生们情绪低落或高涨的。例如，我曾经和一位年轻的大学生共事，一次他欢呼雀跃的进了我的办公室，面带笑容，声音激动。年轻人宣布：“我刚度过了人生中最灿烂的一天。”他继续解释他是如何与一位超凡脱俗的女子相遇的，而且这份浪漫的爱情与他梦中所期待的完全一致。而不倒一个星期，同一个年轻人却拖着脚步神情沮丧的进了我的办公室。他在同一张椅子上坐下来，深深地叹了口气，宣布说：“我经历了人生中最糟糕的一天。”他和那个年轻女子刚刚吵过架，两人的关系不再看好。因而，大学生们与异性交往的方式对他们的情感必定有所影响。 6于此同时，这些刚刚成年的大学生也在学习如何在成年人的世界里奉献和收获情感。在这一角度上，成长不仅要处理与异性之间的关系，还要处理与两性及所有年龄段的朋友之间的关系。随着他们渐渐成人，他们与异性交往的方式也在发生变化。这时作为成年人他们应该思索如何与同龄人和睦相处并有礼有节，如何与他们生活中的青少年儿童和睦相处，如何与他们的父母和睦相处并表达自己的感情。举个我在西南浸礼教会学院读研究生时的例子，当我刚刚修完一门咨询课程后，我去探望父母。在学习这门课的过程中我渐渐意识到，当我的世界不断扩展，新的机遇不断出现时，我的父亲，一个年过花甲之人，正在亲眼目睹自己的世界在变小，选择在变少。在家的那些日子里，我和父亲几次谈心，共同探讨了我课程的内容以及它如何应用到我的生活中。我发觉自己正以一种不同的方式看待父亲，并且把他看作一个我可以鼓励的朋友。我有意识的去鼓励这个从前鼓励过我的人。我在以一种不同的方式与父亲交流。 7大学生的另一个变化就是内化他们的宗教信仰、价值尺度和道德观念。从出生开始，就有一位或更多的父母成为他们的榜样，教给他们特定的信仰、价值和道德。然而，当他们到了青春期，这些问题却遭到了质疑，在一些情况下甚至遭到了反叛。现在他们刚刚成年，他们有机会为自己决定人生中将会如何选择何种信仰、价值和道德。60年代末，一位生活在极度歧视其他种族的环境中的年轻女子深信自己种族的

Michael Welzenbach 1. When I was 12 years old, my family moved to England, the fourth major move in my short life. My father’s government job demanded that he go overseas every few years, so I was used to wrenching myself away from friends. 2. We rented an 18th-century farmhouse in Berkshire. Nearby were ancient castles and churches. Loving nature, however, I was most delighted by the endless patchwork of farms and woodland that surrounded our house. In the deep woods that verged against our back fence, a network of paths led almost everywhere, and pheasants rocketed off into the dense laurels ahead as you walked. 3. I spent most of my time roaming the woods and fields alone, playing Robin Hood, daydreaming, collecting bugs and bird-watching. It was heaven for a boy —but a lonely heaven. Keeping to myself was my way of not forming attachments that I would only have to abandon

第一单元 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其实。 学习英语的几种策略 学习英语决非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种： 1．不要以完全相同的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I’m interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I’m good at French”你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或密秘”是“learn the news or secret”,而“获悉某人的成功或到来”却是“learn of someone’s success or arrival”这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。 3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后在反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。
