大学英语综合教程unit2 textA课文翻译You Changed My Life, Miz LaneWHY NOT?! I must have said that a million times growing up. My grandparents raised me in a Philadelphia suburb, and whenever I couldn’t have something I wanted, I’d say, "Why not?!” even though I knew the reason: there was no money for extras. To me, Why not?! were words of complaint. It wasn’t until I met Miz Lane, the schoolteacher across the street, that I learned Why not?! are the two of the most powerful words in the English language-the words of possibility.No one expected me to amount to much. Not my parents, who abandoned my brothers and me. Not my grandparents, who loved us but were too overwhelmed with keeping us fed and clothed to think beyond the basics. Not my teachers, who saw a kid more interested in sports than books. And certainly not me. The only place I didn’t feel lost was the playground. I was small but fast and good at playing ball.My grandparents’ neighborhood was one modest square block in an otherwise affluent area. Miz Lane and her family moved in when I was nine. Her son, Norman, and I were both little and scrawny. People said we looked like brothers. One day Norman and I got into a sandlot fight (the "you’re the new kid on the block” fight). After an unimpressive pugilistic m oment (by our neighborhood standards), he asked, "Want to come over for peanut butter and jelly?” I sure did!The first time I stepped inside the Lanes’ house, I could tell it was different. There was a warmth to it, a warmth I’d never known. And it came from Norman’s mom, Miz Lane. She sat us downand fixed us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I depended on the free lunch program at school, so that was a real treat.Miz Lane must have sensed that I was hungry for more than food. She asked about me. What was my favorite sport? Did I like to ride bikes? "You come over anytime,” Miz Lane said.I did, almost every day. Norman got to be my best friend, and the Lanes’ house was my refuge, especially after my grandmother died when I was 10. That summer, Norman went away to camp. I still dropped by. Miz Lane would fix me a snack. I’d help her do the dishes. She’d comb my hair (I was sporting an Afro then). It took a while to work through the kinks, and that’s when we had our best talks. She’d have me read from Miss Manners or the encyclopedia. She never stopped teaching, not even during summer vacation.One day that fall, I told her, "I’m thinking about trying out for the school play.” Not that there was any chance I’d make it. "Why not?!” Miz Lane said. "You’l l never know how good you are until you try.”I was stunned. No one had ever had that kind of faith in me before. The next day, I tried out. To my surprise, I landed a role. I raced straight from school to Miz Lane’s. "They chose me!”"Why not?!” she said. Her smile told me she knew I’d had it in me all along."Why not?!” Miz Lane asked when I mentioned learning the cello. "Why not?!” she demanded when she urged me to take collegepreparatory courses instead of vocational classes. "Get ready for college. Don’t let others define your possibilities.”Norman and I went away to college. He graduated. I didn’t. Maybe it was because I missed Miz Lane’s daily wisdom. My girlfriend and I had a baby. I dropped out and moved back in with my grandfather. I got a job as a stock boy. At first, I was too embarrassed to visit Miz Lane. I felt I’d let her down.I’d let myself down too. I wanted to do bigger things. But how?I had no money, no degree, a child to support. All of a sudden, I heard Miz Lane’s voice in my he ad, clear as a bell: Why not?!I enlisted in the Air Force and went to tell Miz Lane. "I’m going to make something of myself,” I said. She hugged me. I’d never felt so proud.The Air Force trained me to be a translator and stationed me in Germany. My secret dream was to play pro soccer. I was a good player, still fast, and I made the Air Force team.The day before a big playoff game, I got word that Norman died in a car accident. I dedicated the game to my best friend. In the second half I jumped up to kick the ball. I landed funny. My knee buckled. Just like that, my dream was finished.I went back to Philly for Norman’s funeral on crutches. Soon as Miz Lane saw me, she cried, "From now on, you’re my son.”It was a responsibility I had to live up to. "I’d like to stay in sports, go back to school to study athletic training,” Isaid. Guess what Miz Lane said. "Why not?!”At St. Joseph’s University I was the head athletic trainer by day and a student by night. At graduation, Miz Lane’s smile told me again: I knew you had it in you.I got a job as the Philadelphia 76ers head athletic trainer.A few years later I landed an executive position. I thought I’d hit the jackpot. So I was taken aback when Miz Lane said, "I know there’s something bigger waiting for you.”"How do you know that?” I asked."Your story is an inspiration to everyone in this neighborhood,” she said. "You need to write a book to show other people how they can do what you did.”"I can’t write a book!”"Why not?!” Miz Lane said. And as usual, she was right.Last year I wrote Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, a book about finding and following your dreams. Now I travel the world, talking to business groups and most importantly, to kids. If I could make something of myself, I tell them, they can too. It’s my way of following in the footsteps of the best teacher I ever had. Why not?!为什么不呢？！ I must have said that a million times growing up.我必须说，一百万次成长起来。

UNIT TWO
UNIT TWOText A The Age of GlobalityBig is in, and "very big" is very in. Barely a week goes by without another large and often astonishing merger. There is hardly time to recover from Citibank and Travelers, with its frontal challenge to New Deal banking rules, before Daimler-Benz and Chrysler take to the road, shaking the automotive and financial world. In between, a couple of huge banks get together, and Germany's dominant publisher sweeps in to acquire perhaps the most famous name in American books. What seemed to be the megamergers of yesteryear begin to look more like minis.The scale and audacity of these combinations are impressive, of course. But they also make people vaguely uneasy. Are these combinations becoming too powerful, too dominant—simply too big? The cross-border mergers provoke a deeper anxiety: will the tidal wave of transactions wash away national character? The question is particularly pointed for "Daimler Chrysler." After all, Chrysler was enough of a national champion to be bailed out by the federal government in 1978; and somehow it seemed altogether fitting that rescuer-in-chief Lee Iacocca would also take on the project of refurbishing another national icon, the Statue of Liberty. For its part, Daimler-Benz is the very epitome of German engineering prowess and its Mercedes cars the embodiment of prestige on wheels.The $38 billion proposed combination underlines a momentous fact: the world is entering a new type of capitalism. Karl Otoo-Pohl, the former head of the German Bundesbank, calls it "the era of very big companies." And those very big companies, in turn, reflect the fact that the world economy is undergoing fundamental change.For several years now, "globalization" has been the mantra for the expansion of international trade and foreign investment and the integration of markets. But we are now beginning to see a reality beyond globalization—the world of "globality." This is not so much a process as a condition, a world economy in which traditional and familiar boundaries are being surmounted or made irrelevant. Companies and investors operate in a 24-hour world. Currency traders see the same information at the same time, and can act on it simultaneously, where they are in Singapore, London or New York (assuming only that they are all awake at the same time). Billions of dollars move at the push of a button. Global branding is the great game. Work is networked among North America, Europe and Asia via computer. And even the very idea of a corporate headquarters is beginning to become a metaphysical concept; increasingly, the corridors in which managers run into each other are not physical but electronic.The forces creating this new globality are the very imperatives that are driving the mergers. One is the demand by money mangers—themselves competing to retain and attract assets—for quarterly performance and earnings growth that will propel stock prices upward. It is they, ultimately, who are calling the tune these days. Outside the United States and Britain, this has become known as the "Anglo-Saxon model of shareholder value.”Daimler's path to the altar began five years ago, when it made the crucial decision to put itself under the sway of the "Anglo-Saxons" by listing itself on the New York Stock Exchange. To do so, it began to use U.S accounting standards that revealed that, contrary to its German accountants, it wasn't doing very well at the time. Since then, Daimler has remade itself from a clumsy conglomerate into a firm focused solely on the automotive industry. Its further quest forshareholder value has now led it to Chrysler. And the much higher stock price with which it has been rewarded for its conversion to the Anglo-Saxon faith provides the currency it is using to pay for the deal.The second driver is in the marketplace itself. The borders that constrained commerce—but also protected companies from the full brunt of competition—are eroding. Governments are retreating from the control of the commanding heights of their economies: they are privatizing and deregulating. Barriers to trade and investment are coming down rapidly. Ever-cheaper communications and ever-faster computers, along with the Internet, are facilitating the flow of goods and services, as well as knowledge and information. Increasingly, companies are integrating their global strategies with global capital markets.All this greatly widens opportunities. It also greatly intensifies competition. This—along with the demands of investors—means that pressures for performance will become ever more relentless. The result is the propensity to merge—in order to improve corporate performance, protect and enhance the company's competitive position, build and protect broadly based brands and gain all the advantages of scale in wider markets.For Daimler-Benz and Chrysler, the merger is about assembling the right parts to win in the global automotive market. This is a merger driven by industrial logic and growth strategy, rather than by the cost-cutting that often underpins mergers. Chrysler is basically a North American company, strong in lower-priced cars, very strong in sport utility vehicles, but weak internationally. Daimler's Mercedes makes it pre-eminent in the upper part of the automotive market—but not in the Unite States. On its own, Chrysler has little hope of building its non-U.S. franchise, while Daimler suffers from being a minor player in the innovative—and huge—U.S. market. Neither is strong in Asia. Together, they become a full-range auto company, capable of competing in almost every arena, equipped to deploy huge cash flow and technology around the world.The way the deal is being done is also noteworthy, underlining how the world's capital markets are being integrated. Chrysler shareholders are not going to receive cash; they are going to end up with shares in the German company. Five years ago, such a financial structure would have been, at best, most improbable and almost certainly unacceptable to investors.Putting a deal like this together is nevertheless an immense undertaking. Getting it closed is more than challenging. But the hardest part will be making it work. At the outset of mergers, the tendency is to downplay the differences in style, corporate, values and national character. But history indicates that those differences often turn out to be more problematic than initially anticipated. Even with the best of intentions—and the most attractive incentives—friction, at the very least, is inevitable, and managing such friction is a major taskOne of the problems of the new globality is that it encourages scale and yet at the same time requires greater emphasis on managerial creativity, entrepreneurial values and initiatives and responsiveness to the market. Surely one of the most important challenges for the new company will be to avoid squelching those characteristics in the course of integrating the two operations. The point is to become more flexible, fast-moving and adaptive, not less.A huge risk in this new era of megamergers is to be blindsided in the quest for global scale. Yes, the competitive playing field is much wider than ever before. But that does not mean that national values, tastes and character have disappeared—whether within companies themselves or among their customers. A company, big or small, that misses that reality is quite likely toproduce less value.ExercisesIII. Multiple choices1. The main theme of this passage is____.A.

The waiter was disappointed to find that the richest man in America led a simple life. Part I (para5-13)
Being friendly, easy-going and never flashy, Walton carries on like plain folks and never wants any special treatment. Part I (para14-22) With the Wal-Mart team in mind, Walton devotes himself heart and soul to making the business a great success.

equity,stock和share之间的区别联系
equity,stock和share之间的区别联系区别与联系1. equity指的是股权，公司股东对其出资所享有的权益都可以称为股权，eHow （国外的一个社区）里面有这样的一段话，我觉得可以很好地帮助大家理解equity的含义（我顺带翻译了一下）：The most general meaning of equity is ownership in a business. Unlike stock and share, equity applies to non-corporate business structures as well. Anyone with a financial stake in a company, whether a sole proprietorship, partnership or corporation, owns equity. In accounting, the amount of equity owners have is based on the difference between business assets and liabilities. If the company holds $500,000 in assets and has $300,000 in liabilities, for instance, owners' equity equals $200,000.（大意：equity最普遍的含义指在企业中的所有权。
与stock 和share不同，equity可用于非法人企业结构。
在公司（无论是独资企业、合伙企业或公司）持有财务性所有权的任何人都拥有equity。
在会计方面，所有权人持有的equity数额以公司资产和负债为基础。
如果公司持有500000美元的资产，但拥有300000美元的负债，那么所有者持有的equity为200000美元。

ALL THE CABBIE HAD WAS A LETTERFoster FurcoloHe must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention.“Is your cab available?”I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “I 'm sorry, but I was reading a letter.He sounded as if he had a cold or something."I'm in no hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”He shook his head. “I 've read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.”“Letters from home always mean a lot,” I said.“ At least they do with me because I 'm on the road so much. ” Then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I guessed: “From a child or maybe a grandchild?”“ This isn't family,”he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other' Old Friend'—when we 'd meet, that is.I 'm not much of a hand at writing.”“I don't think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “I know I don't.But I take it he's someone you 've known quite a while?”"All my life, p r actically.We were kids together, so we go way back.”“ Went to school together?”“All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.” "There are not too many people who 've had such a long friend ship,” I said.“Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn't seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget. He was a great guy.”“You said 'was'. Does that mean—?"He nodded. “Died a c ouple of weeks ago.”“I 'm sorry,” I said. “It's no fun to lose any friend—and losing a real old one is even tougher. ”He didn't reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes.But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost more to himself than to me: "I should have kept in touch. Yes,” he repeated, “I should have kept in touch. ”“Well,” I agreed, “we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don't seem to find the tim e. ”He shrugged. “We used to find the time,” he said. “That's even mentioned in the letter. ” He handed it over to me. 'Take a look.”“Thanks,” I said, “but I don't want to read your mail. That's pretty personal.”The driver shrugged. “Old Ed 's dead. There's nothing personal now. Go ahead,” he urged me.The letter was written in pencil. It began with the greeting "Old Friend,” and the first sentence reminded me of myself. I 've been meaning to write for some time, but I 've always postponed it. It then went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together when they both lived in the same neighborhood.It had references to things that probably meant something to the driver, such as the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker 's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school.“You must have spent a lot of time together,” I said to him.“Like it says there,” he answered, “about all we had to spend in those days was time.”He shook his head: "Time.”I thought the next paragraph of the letter was a little sad: I began the letter with "Old Friend" because that's what we 've become over the years—old friends. And there aren't many of us left.“You know,” I said to him, “when it says here that there aren't many of us left, that's absolutely right. Every time I go to a class reunion, for example,there are fewer and fewer still around. ”"Time g oes by,” the driver said.“Did you two work at the same place?” I asked h im.“No, but we hung out on the same corner when we were single. And then, when we were married, we used to go to each other 's house every now and then. But for the last 20 or 30 years it 's been mostly just Christmas cards. Of course there 'd be always a note we 'd each add to the cards—usually some news about our families, you know, what the kids were doing, who moved where, a new grandchild, things like that—but never a real letter or anything like that. ”“This is a good part here,” I said. “Where it says Your friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say be cause I 'm not good at saying things like that. ” I found myself nodding in agreement. “That must have made you feel good, didn't it?”The driver said something that I couldn't understand because he seemed to be all choked up, so I continued: "I know I 'd like to receive a letter like that from my oldest friend.”We were getting close to our destination so I skipped to the last paragraph. So I thought you 'd like to know that I was thinking of you. And it was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.I handed back the letter as we stopped at my hotel. “Enjoyed talking with you,” I said as I took my suitcase out of the cab. Tom? The letter was signed Tom?“I thought your friend 's name was Ed,” I said. “Why did he sign it Tom?'“The letter was not from Ed to me,” he explained. “I 'm Tom. It's a letter I wrote to him before I knew he 'd died. So I never ma iled it.”He looked sort of sorrowful, or as if he were tryi ng to see something in the distance. “I guess I should have written it sooner.”When I got to my hotel room I didn't unpack right away. First I had to write a letter—and mail it.language studybe lost in/ lose oneself in:be absorbed in, be fully occupied with 专心致志于He was lost in playing computer games so he was unaware of my entering the room.She was lost in her novel.I had lost myself in thought.available:able to be used, had, or reached 可用的; 可得到的Since 1990, the amount of money available to buy books has fallen by 17%.If you don't want to buy a kite, you can make your own using directions available in the book.We have already used up all the available space.or something:used when you are not very sure about what you have just said 诸如此类的事The air fare was a hundred and ninety-nine pounds or something.Here's some money.

1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
Reference:
Most governments prohibit cloning mainly because it is against nature and causes ethical problems. Besides, the failure rate of cloning is very high.
miracle n. — an unusual and mysterious event that cannot be explained by the laws of nature Examples
• The Great Wall is a miracle of architecture.
• A car ran over the child, but by a miracle, he was unhurt.
But only when the science is ready. And that’s the real problem. Five years on from Dolly, the science of cloning is still stuck in the dark ages. The failure rate is a shocking 97 percent and deformed babies all too common. Even when cloning works, nobody understands why. So forget the complex moral arguments. To begin cloning people now, before even the most basic questions have been answered, is simply a waste of time and energy. This is not to say that Antinori will fail, only that if he succeeds it is likely to be at an unacceptably high price. Hundreds of eggs and embryos will be wasted and lots of women will go through difficult pregnancies resulting in miscarriages or abortions. A few years from now techniques will have improved and the wasteful loss won’t be as excessive. But right now there seems to be little anyone can do to keep the cloners at bay.

Individuals and massesA man or woman makes direct contact with society in two ways:as a member of some familial,professional or religious group ,or as a member of a crowd.groups are capable of being as moral and intelligent as the individuals who form them;a crowd is chaotic ,has no purpose of its own and is capable of anything except intelligent action and realistic thinking.Assembled in a crowd, people lose their powers of reasoning and their capacity for moral choice.Their suggestibility is increased to the point where they cease to have any judgement or will of their own.they become very excitable, they lose all sense of individual or collective responsibility,they are subject to sudden excesses of rage ,enthusiasm and panic.in a word,a man in a crowd behaves as though he had swallowed a large dose of some powerful intoxicant .He is a victim of what I ave called ‘herd-poisoning’.Like alcohol,herd-poison is an active,extravagant drug.The crowd-intoxicated individual escapes from responsibility,intelligence and morality into a kind of frantic,animal mindlesssness.一个人通过两种渠道和社会进行直接接触：一种是作为家庭的、职业的或者宗教的组织中的一员，一种仅仅是作为一群人中的一个。
