Lesson Two In the Laboratory

Samuel H. Scudder

Learning Guide

美国著名昆虫学家塞缪尔?斯卡德记叙了多年前他初进哈佛读书,在阿加西斯教授的实验室学习的一段难忘的经历:一条作标本的鱼,竟让他用肉眼整整观察了三天。然而他所学到的东西使他终身受益。对学生有问必答、有求必应、事无巨细一概包揽的就是个好老师吗?能把老师的知识全部学到的就是好学生吗?俗话说严师出高徒。师应严在何处?徒又高在哪里?仔细品味本文,你一定会有所收获。

这篇文章是美国昆虫学家Samuel H.Scudder(1837-1911)回忆读书时,他老师的学术态度,老师的对待科学的严谨态度使他终生受益。Samuel H.Scudder 在Williams College以及Harvard University受的教育,是他那个时代有名的昆虫学家。

What particularly pleased him?

A: Yes, he did.

He was especially pleased by the fact that Scudder was eager to learn and wanted to begin right away.

2. Q: What was Professor Agassiz’s first assignment for Scudder? A:The professor told his student to look at a fish from a huge jar of specimens and then describe to him what he had seen in the fish.

3. Q: Scudder didn’t find it exciting and challenging, did he? Why

wasn’t it a pleasant job?

A: No, he didn’t.

Because he thought that gazing at a fish was not challenging enough, and besides, the alcohol had a very unpleasant smell.

4. Q: Why did Professor forbid Scudder to use any artificial aids?

A: He wanted his student learn how to observe things carefully with

his own eyes.

5. Q: Scudder didn’t think there was much to see in the fish, did he?

How did he go about his assignment?

A: No, he didn’t.

At first he didn’t look very carefully, so after ten minutes he thought that he had seen all that he could see in the fish. He

went to look for the Professor, but couldn’t find him. He went

back to the laboratory, and unwillingly began to look at the fish

again.

6. Q: When did this attitude begin to change?

A: His attitude began to change when he started to draw the fish and found new features which he had not discovered before.

7. Q: What did the Professor say when he found his student drawing the

fish?

A: He was very pleased. He encouraged the student and said that drawing was a good way of observing things.

8. Q: Why was he disappointed when he heard Scudder’s brief description?

Did Scudder think the criticism just?

A: Because Scudder didn’t even notice one of the most visible features of the fish. He thought this feature was very easy to

see.

9. Q: He discovered the most visible feature of the fish, didn’t he?

What was it?

A: Yes, he did, on the next morning.

It was that the fish had symmetrical sides with paired organs.

10. Q: How long did the Professor make Scudder look at the same fish? A: For three long days.

11. Q: What did the Professor tell him to do on the fourth day?

A: He told him to look at another fish of the same family, and point out the similarities and differences between the two fish.

12. Q: Why did Scudder look upon this observation the best lesson he

ever had? What did he learn?

A: He thought what he learned in Professor Agassiz’s laboratory was very important and helpful in his later studies. He thought

this lesson was too valuable to part with.

注意:下面列出的题目必须能做到熟练并准确地写出画线部分!划线的句子尤其应该重点记忆。

第2题、Professor Agassiz’s first assignment for Scudder is to look at a fish from a huge jar of specimens and then describe to him what he

had seen in the fish.

第3题、Scudder didn’t find his first assignment exciting and challenging because he thought that gazing at a fish was not challenging

enough and the alcohol had a very unpleasant smell.

第4题、 The professor forbid Scudder to use any artificial aids because he wanted his student to learn how to observe things carefully

with his own eyes.

第6题、Scudder began to change his attitude towards observing that fish when he started to draw the fish and found new features which he had

not discovered before.

第7题、Scudder observed the most visible feature of the fish was that the fish had symmetrical sides with paired organs.

第12题、 Scudder learned from his first lesson how to observe facts

and their orderly arrangement and how to connect them to some general law.

Speak on either of the topics.

1.Give an example to show Prof. Agassiz was a good teacher.

The professor was a good teacher. The day Scudder began his studies in his laboratory, he told him to look at a fish. When he found Scudder drawing a fish, he was pleased and encouraged the student.

But when Scudder was unable to point out the most visible features after observing the fish for a long time, he criticized him.

Professor Agassiz knew when to encourage and when to criticize his student.

2.Give an example to show that Samuel Scudder was a good student.

Scudder was a very eager to learn and was ready to begin his studies at once. The first day he was in the laboratory the Professor asked him when he wanted to begin, he said” at once”. And his answer pleased the professor.

六、Written Work

Write a paragraph of about 100 words on the topic: How Samuel Scudder came to See the importance of observation

When Prof. Agassiz told Scudder to look at a fish in the yellow alcohol .Scudder didn’t think it was challenging enough to him at first and he turned the fish over and round,looked at it from different angles with impatience and desperation

Since he could not find the Professor, he began to draw the fish.

To his great surprise, he discovered more features in the fish. But he failed to discover the most visible feature and was criticized by the Professor.

Although he thought he was wronged and he was hurt, he set to his work with

a will and discovered one feature after another of the fish. He realized the

just of the teacher’s criticism of him and changed his attitude towards

observation.

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际,千头万绪,最重要的是安排好时间,做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议,或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译:时间真是不好对付,既难以控制好,又很容易浪费掉,当你向前看时,你觉得你的时间用不完。例如,在一个学期的开始,你或许觉得你有许多时间,但到学期快要结束时,你会突然发现时间快用光了,你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完,这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢?控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译:时间是危险的,如果你控制不了时间,时间就会控制你,如果你不能让时间为你服务,它就会起反作用。所以,你必须成为时间的主人,而不是它的奴仆,作为刚入学的大学生,妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译:时间是珍贵的,浪费时间是个坏习惯,这就像毒品一样,你越浪费时间,就越容易继续浪费下去,如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会,你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译:抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间,不要把事情推到明天或是下周,在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

课文原文1-7 Unit 1 The Hidden Side of Happiness 1 Hurricanes, house fires, cancer, whitewater rafting accidents, plane crashes, vicious attacks in dark alleyways. Nobody asks for any of it. But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the better.Their refrain might go something like this: "I wish it hadn't happened, but I'm a better person for it." 1飓风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击,没人想找上这些事儿。但出人意料的是,很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生,但因为它我变得更完美了。” 2 We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations, perhaps because they testify to a bona fide type of psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There seems to be a built-in human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances. Positive responses to profoundly disturbing experiences are not limited to the toughest or the bravest.In fact, roughly half the people who struggle with adversity say that their lives subsequently in some ways improved. 2我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事,可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学上的真理,这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中,人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会进发出来。对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出?积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。实际上,大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某些方面有了改善。

新一代大学英语综合教程1 课后翻译 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

综合教程第1册何兆熊主编英语专业综合英语1Dictationtapescript

综合教程第1册 Unit 1 I. Dictation Throughout history / the basic unit of almost every human society / has been the family. / Members of the family live together / under the same roof. / They share the economic burdens of life / as well as its joys. / The family head usually has considerable influence / in arranging marriages, / selecting careers / and determining all important moves and purchases / by any member of the family. / Particularly in conditions / where society or the state / does not give aid / and the responsibilities of the family are greater, / this large group / provides better protection / in times of economic or other emergency. Unit 2 Children learn almost nothing from television, / and the more they watch, / the less they remember. / They regard television purely as entertainment, / resent programs that make demands on them / and are surprised that anybody should take the medium seriously. / Far from being over-excited by programs, / they are mildly bored with the whole thing. / These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. / Its author confirms / that the modern child is a dedicated viewer. / The study suggests / that there is little point in the television company’s attempts / to isolate adult viewing in the later hours. / More than a third of the children regularly watched their programs after 9 . / All 11-year-olds had watched programs after midnight. Unit 3: I. Dictation Mother's Day is celebrated / on the second Sunday in May. / On this occasion, / Mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts / from her husband and children. / For most mothers, / the rarest and best gift / is a day of rest. / Often, / families honor Mother / by taking her out for dinner. / In some households / the husband and children / take over meal preparations / so that Mom can spend a whole day / away from the kitchen. / Serving her breakfast in bed / is another family ritual. / Later in the day, / parents may take their children / to visit their grandparents. / Flowers are an important part of the day. / Mothers are often given corsages / for the occasion, / particularly if they are elderly. Unit 4 Dictation In order to learn to be one’s true self, / it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge / of what has been said and done in the world; / critically to inquire into it; / carefully to consider it; / clearly to analyze it; / and earnestly to carry it out. It matters not what you learn, / but when you once learn a thing, / you must never give it up / until you have thoroughly understood it. / It matters not what you try to think of, / but when you once try to think of a thing, / you must never give it up / until you have done it thoroughly and well. If another man succeeds by one effort, / you will use a hundred efforts. / If another man succeeds by ten efforts, / you will use a thousand. Unit 5: In order to learn to be one’s true self, / it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge / of what has been said and done in the world; / critically to inquire into it; / carefully to consider it; / clearly to analyze it; / and earnestly to carry it out.

英语专业考研:英语综合题型盘点及备考指导

英语专业考研:英语综合题型盘点及备考指导 “综合英语”其实正确的名称叫做“英语综合”,是一个比较复杂的概念,是针对“基础英语”概念而提出。如果说基础英语考查学生对读写译基础和词汇表达的掌握,那么“英语综合”就是对英语下设的具体方向知识的考查。英语综合类具体方向比较多,包括文学、语言学、文化、教育等等,其中以英美文学、语言学和翻译理论与实践最多。 1.About专业 英语语言文学的专业代号是050201,一般下设的具体方向为英美文学。部分综合类大学的“英语语言文学”方向包括翻译理论与实践,也有的大学的这一专业包含了语言学方向。外国语大学类的方向更多,包括教学法、XX英语国家研究、跨文化交际等等。对外经贸的一大特色是商务英语。传媒大学有两大特色:一是影视翻译,二是英语播音。 有的学校单独把语言学抽出来单独作为一个方向,并赋予一个为050211的代号,所属的二级学科是“外国语言学及应用语言学”,简称是我们老百姓所说的“语言学”。这个学科下面的方向包括应用语言学、理论语言学、外语教育等等。北京外国语大学还包括X英汉同声传译,但这个我觉得是个“语言学”里面的例外,毕竟人家属于高翻学院,真正的方向是“翻译理论与实践”。从名称上来看,这个专业不限于英语专业报考,其他语种专业的学生也可以报考的,比如说上!外! 而对于“翻译学”(一般为0502Z1),也不能说是最偏门的方向,只不过单独把它作为一个方向的学校比较少 2.About科目代号 无论是“英语语言文学”还是“外国语言学及应用语言学”,抑或是“翻译学”,除了“基础英语”这门课之外,另外一门基本考查考生的专业知识。北京外国语大学的050201专业的第二门专业课为英语能力测试(写作),上海外国语大学此专业的第二门专业课为824英汉互译(你说牛不牛,学个英美文学也得考互译T^T),其余学校,大家看看就好。 部分学校部分科目举例 941英语语言文学(北师) 861综合英语(对外经贸,考查语言综合运用能力,不涉及专业知识)811英语语言文学基础知识(中国传媒大学) 870英语语言文学综合二(中国政法大学,文学、语言学、翻译出一张卷子上) 815~818文学、教学法、翻译理论与实践、英美文化方向(人大) 857综合考试(清华,语言学和文学专业都考这个) 813英美文学史(复旦) 801英语综合(武汉大学,语言学文学都在一张卷子上)而对于050211外国语言学及应用语言学,大部分学校都会考“语言学综合知识”这一科,北外的外研中心的语料库语言学方向会考816语料库语言学,然而上外的语言研究院的两门专业课都很“特儿”:640考外国语言学和应用语言学理论,中英文七三开(中文70%,英文30%),另外一科是X汉互译。 至于再偏门一点的“翻译学”,专业课也就考英汉互译或翻译综合之类的。
