大学英语泛读教程2unit1课文翻译及课后小题1.The Pickle JarAs far back as I can remember, the large pickle jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents' bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pockets and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle when the jar was almost empty. Then the tones gradually muted to a dull thud as the jar was filled. I used to squat on the floor in front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that glinted like a pirate's treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.When the jar was filled, Dad would sit at the kitchen table and roll the coins before taking them to the bank. Taking the coins to the bank was always a big production. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, as we drove to the bank, Dad would look at me hopefully. "Those coins are going to keep you out of the textile mill, son. You're going to do better than me. This old mill town's not going to hold you back." Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank toward the cashier, he would grin proudly. "These are for my son's college fund. He'll never work at the mill all his life like me."We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. "When we get home, we'll start filling the jar again."He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. "You'll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters," he said. "But you'll get there. I'll see to that."The years passed, and I finished college and took a job in another town. Once, while visiting my parents, I used the phone in their bedroom, and noticed that the pickle jar was gone. It had served its purpose and had been removed. A lump rose in my throat as I stared at the spot beside the dresser where the jar had always stood. My dad was a man of few words, and never lectured me on the values of determination, perseverance, and faith. The pickle jar had taught me all these virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery of words could have done.When I married, I told my wife Susan about the significant part the lowly pickle jar had played in my life as a boy. In my mind, it defined, more than anything else, how much my dad had loved me. No matter how rough things got at home, Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar. Even the summer when Dad got laid off from the mill, and Mama had to serve dried beans several times a week, not a single dime was taken from the jar. To the contrary, as Dad looked across the table at me, pouring catsup over my beans to make them more palatable, he became more determined than ever to make a way out for me. "When you finish college, son," he told me, his eyes glistening, "You’ll never have to eat beans again unless you want to." The first Christmas after our daughter Jessica was born, we spent the holiday with my parents. After dinner, Mom and Dad sat next to each other on the sofa, taking turns cuddling their first grandchild. Jessica began to whimper softly, and Susan took her from Dad's arms. "She probably needs to be changed," she said,carrying the baby into my parents' bedroom to diaper her.When Susan came back into the living room, there was a strange mist in her eyes. She handed Jessica back to Dad before taking my hand and quietly leading me into the room."Look," she said softly, her eyes directing me to a spot on the floor beside the dresser. To my amazement, there, as if it had never been removed, stood the old pickle jar, the bottom already covered with coins.I walked over to the pickle jar, dug down into my pocket, and pulled out a fistful of coins. With a gamut of emotions choking me, I dropped the coins into the jar. I looked up and saw that Dad, carrying Jessica, had slipped quietly into the room. Our eyes locked, and I knew he was feeling the same emotions I felt. Neither one of us could speak.Exercises1.

Learning is a natural pleasure that should be enjoyed. Then he develops this idea by examples to illustrate the different aspects: learning from books, by travel and trough practice. Learning can expand one’s knowledge over a period of time.2. The chief danger of learning is laziness, sloth, routine, stupidity. It sneaks into people’s mind like wind through the shutters, causing people to slowly give up learning. We should realize that learning is a life-long endeavor, and only by continuous learning can one gain a meaningful and rewarding life.Key to the reading—skill Exercises1.

全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案
全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.
