An artist who seeks fame is like a dog chasing his own tail who, when
he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing
it.艺术家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。
The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek
such success to participate in their own destruction.

"Don't quit your day job!"is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a
budding artist who is trying hard to succeed.
对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家，其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能
丢！”他们的担心不无道理。
The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally
if not financially bankrupt.追求出人头地，最乐观地说也困难重重，许多人到最

奔向更加光明的未来
1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。

A turning point of my life
我人生的转折点
I wasn't yet 30 years old and was working as a firefighter in New York City, in a firehouse completely swamped
with calls. In the rare moments when we weren't busy, I would make calls on our cordless phone handset or rush to our office to read Captain Gray's subscription of the Sunday New York Times. Late one afternoon when I finally
read the Book Review section, my blood began to boil. An article stated a thesis I took to be an offensive insult: William Butler Yeats, the Nobel Prize-winning light of the Irish Literary Renaissance, had risen above his Irishness and was now a universal poet. I grew indignant suddenly, and a deep-seated passion within me was activated.

TESTA友情中的性别差异：矛盾还是不矛盾
1想到我的好朋友们，我就会用看电影的眼光看待他们。对男性和女
性的拍摄手法是完全不同的。我对女性朋友的“电影式”记忆是开放的、
亲密无间的。我们交谈着，像磁铁般互相吸引着。她们直视我的眼睛，她
们善解人意，她们用心倾听。相比较而言，我对男性朋友的记忆是完全不
同的另一部影片。那是一部动作片或者冒险片！对话不多。习惯性的行动，或者说一系列的动作，弥补了对话及坦诚倾诉方面的不足。
2我回想起我儿时最早的朋友唐纳德。那时候我还住在欧洲，我家房
子附近有一辆战后遗弃的德国旧卡车。没有轮子，没有挡风玻璃，没有车门。但是方向盘还完好无损。我和唐纳德一直开着这辆卡车——也就是我
们的“飞机”——“飞往”美国。即使到现在，我还记得我们每天飞行的
那个套路。我们飞过欧洲，飞越大西洋，去执行救援任务。那时候的我们
单纯，形影不离，有着最好的朋友之间才有的那种高度安全感。自然，对
于我们彼此间显而易见的感情，我们从未吐露过一个字，一切尽付诸行动。
3每天，当我们飞翔在大西洋上空时，总是不可避免地会出现那精彩
的时刻：“发动机故障！”我总会对着麦克风大叫，“我们必须跳出
去。”“啊－啊－啊－啊－啊－！”唐纳德发出像发动机出现故障时的声音。他看了我一眼，说：“我不会游泳啊!”“别怕！我会把你拉上岸的。”我总是勇敢地回答。于是，说完这些后，我们两人都从卡车里扑到
满是尘土的街道上。我在尘土中游泳。唐纳德淹没在尘土中，一边咳嗽，
一边大叫：“有鲨鱼！”但我总是会把他救上来。第二天，我们交换角色，那精心策划的一幕又重复上演。“我不会游泳啊！”我会喊道，而唐纳德

人生的意义不只是工作
人们常常说：对于青春来说，最令人悲伤的事情莫过于青春在年轻时被浪费掉了。
在读一份对大学一年级新生作的调查报告时，我又想起了这种惋惜之情：“要是当初我就懂得了现在我领悟到的东西该有多好！”
这份调查报告印证了我以前根据在梅肯和罗宾斯住宿中心对学生进行的非正式民意调查所作的推断：学生们认为如果某种东西（不管它是何物）没有实际意义，不能把它当酒喝、当烟抽、当钱花，那么“它”就基本毫无价值。
基于对188，000多名学生答卷的调查表明，当今的大学新生比这项民意测验开始17年以来的任何时候的大学新生都“更主张消费主义，同时也少了些理想主义”。
在这个经济不景气的时代，学生们的主要目标是追求“经济上的富裕”。与过去任何时候相比，树立有意义的人生哲学已不那么重要了。这一情况并不让人感到惊奇。因此，如今最受欢迎的课程不是文学或历史，而是会计学。
如今人们对当教师、社会服务和人文学科、还有种族和妇女研究的兴趣都处于低潮。而另一方面，攻读商科、工程学及计算机科学的学生人数却在迅速增加。
还有一件事也不令人意外。我的一个朋友（一个化工公司的销售代理）在干这份工作的第一年所挣的钱就已是大学教师薪水的两倍了──这甚至还是在她修完两年制的准学士学位课程之前的事。
她喜欢说这样一句话：“我会对他们讲，他们学习音乐、历史、文学等等有什么用！”那还是四年以前呢，我都不敢想象她现在赚多少钱。

Lighten Your Load and Save Your Life
If you often feel angry and overwhelmed, like the stress in your life is spinning out of control, then you may be hurting your heart.如果你常常生气、身心疲乏，好像你生活中的压力正在快速地积聚，将要失去控制，那么你可能是在损害你的心脏了。
If you don't want to break your own heart, you need to learn to take charge of your life where you can—and recognize there are many things beyond your control.假如你不想损害自己的心脏，你就需要努力学会在力所能及的范围内控制自己的生活──并且承认有许多东西你是无法控制的。
So says Dr. Robert S. Eliot, author of a new book titled From Stress to Strength: How to Lighten Your Load and Save Your Life. He's a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska. 这是罗伯特·S. 埃利奥特博士的观点。他是内布拉斯加大学的临床医学教授，新书《从压力到力量：怎样减轻你的负担，拯救你的生命》的作者。

一位西方华裔母亲的反思
1．许多人都想了解中国父母是怎么培养出来如此成功的孩子的。他们不解，为什么这些中国家长能够培养出这么多富有才华的孩子？他们是否自己也能培养出这样的孩子呢？
2．事实是，对于固执己见的西方父母而言，中国家长处理事情的方式带有挑衅性，难以想象，甚至违犯法律的。中国妈妈可以毫不客气地对正在狼吞虎咽的胖孩子说：“嘿，胖子，该减肥了。”而与之相反，西方父母则必须体谅地、小心翼翼地谈论“健康”这个话题却避而不提“胖”这个词。结果，他们的孩子最终会因为饮食不规律、态度消极而求医问药。我苦思冥想了很久，中国父母在这么做之后是如何全身而退的，我认为中西方父母间存在三种意识形态上的差异。
3．首先，我注意到西方父母呵护孩子们的自尊，使他们免受一切批评。家长们在意孩子失败后的感受，于是不管孩子们表现得多糟糕，他们都不断地尽其所能解除孩子的担忧。西方父母认为孩子是脆弱的，不够坚强，因而他们的行为也就与中国父母大相径庭了。
4．例如，一个孩子考试得了A－回到家里，西方父母很可能会表扬这个孩子。但对于中国的妈妈来说A－根本不算什么好成绩，她会不满地叹气，追问孩子哪里出了问题。如果一个孩子得了B回家，尽管有些犹豫，但一些西方父母仍会表扬孩子。还有些西方父母会表现不满，但他们却不会质疑孩子的智力或贸然说孩子“笨”“没有用”或“太可恶”。而私底下，他们会担心，但绝不会让孩子们知道。
5．如果一个中国孩子得了B，不管什么科目，首先会引起一场的爆发。中国妈妈会更加不遗余力地找来几十或几百套测验题，不惜采取手头任何办法来让自己孩子的成绩提高到

动物还是孩子？——一位科学家的选择
1 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involved in animal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself as an evil person. I became a children's doctor because of my love for children and my supreme desire to keep them healthy. During medical school and residency, I saw many children die of cancer and bloodshed from injury —circumstances against which medicine has made great progress but still has a long way to go. More importantly, I also saw children healthy thanks to advances in medical science such as infant breathing support, powerful new medicines and surgical techniques and the entire field of organ transplantation. My desire to tip the scales in favor of healthy, happy children drew me to medical research.

Unit 8 sectionB
上星期的新闻报道说，科学家已经克隆了一只绵羊。这一消息引起了学术界和公众的恐慌，他们预想下一个就轮到克隆人类了。
这种反应是可以理解的。
克隆向生物学最基本的规律发起了一次根本性的挑战，因此有理由担心这或许是威胁人类社会和人类尊严的活动的序曲。
然而，这种道义上的反对大多出自一种本能的、未经思索的厌恶。
这种拒绝对此问题作理性思考的行为，甚至使训练有素的科学家和其他专家也难以看清这件事的实质。
虽然克隆人类可能不会给人类带来很大的好处，但也没有人能提供有力的论据证明它会带来真正的危害。
保守派的宗教领袖宣称，克隆人类是对人类尊严的一次重大挑战。
假如克隆的人被当作一种次等动物，权利小，地位低，事实就会的确如此。
但是为什么会想到保护人类权利和尊严的法律不适用于被克隆的人呢？
一名权威律师提出，克隆将会违犯“基因唯一身份权”。
他从何处得来这一权利？
未经通知并征得本人同意，成年人有权不被克隆，这是完全合理的。
但是，如果事先得到允许，那又会侵犯谁的基因身份“权”呢？
有关克隆人类前景的科幻小说所发出的种种真切的警告，仔细想来，却变成了无稽之谈。例如，有人担心，父母克隆孩子是为了“备用器官”，以备原来的孩子器官移植之需。
但是，同卵双胞胎的父母并不会把一个孩子看作另一个孩子的器官作坊。
为什么克隆孩子的父母会有所不同？
另一个让人不安的想法是，克隆会使人们致力于培育具有理想基因特质的个人（如数学天才、足球运动员等）。
这样的想法很令人反感，不仅仅缘于一种下意识的厌恶，还因为纳粹分子以优化种族之名实施的恐怖行为。
