Unit1 College LifePassage A学无止境终考的最后一天，东部一所的大学里，一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上，谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。
他们脸上都充满自信。
在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前，这是他们最后一门考试。
他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。
4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。
眼前这场考试，不过是小事一桩。
这门课的教授已经说过，除考场上不能交头接耳外，允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。
考生们依次进入考场，心情轻松而愉快。
当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后，学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂，因为考卷上只有五道论述题。
3个小时过去了，教授开始收回考卷。
考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情，自信已经荡然无存。
当教授收完考卷，看着全班学生时，所有的人都沉默不语。
她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道：“5道题答完的有多少？”没人举手。
“答完4道的有多少？”还是没有人举手。
“完成3道题的？2道题的？”考生们有些坐不住了，不安地动了动。
“那么，有没有写完一道题的？我想总有人做完一道题吧！”考场里还是一片寂静。
教授放下手中的考卷，说：“果真不出我所料。
”“我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程，在这个领域里，你们还有很多东西不懂。
在你们今后的日常工作中，类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。
”接着，她微笑着补充说：“你们都会通过考试，但是请记住，即使你们现在已经毕业了，你们的学习才刚刚开始。
”多年后，这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘，但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。
Passage B时光如能倒流四年的学习生涯结束，毕业的那一刻终于到来。
不到两个星期我就要毕业了。
回首往昔，竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。
我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边询问教学楼在哪儿。
现在我已是即将毕业的老生，用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。
我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞，让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。
新世纪大学英语综合教程1 - 单元话题作文范文(秦秀白版)
Unit 1 College life1. Write an essay in about 100–120 words based on your discussion in Optional Classroom Activities. You can take either of the following titles:1) I like to study on my own2) I like to study in a group2. If you didn’t do Task 3 in Optional Classroom Activities you can write an essay of around 120 words on the following topic.College Is Not an Ivory Tower▆ Sample Essays for Task 1:I like to study on my ownMany of my classmates like to study together. However, I always like to study on my own, with good reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to work together with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting with them without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at my own pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to. One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restricted by time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere. (146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problems usually score higher than those who work on their own. I am happy to hear that because I like to study in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class by asking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understan d very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Working with others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world of ours. After all, two heads are always better than one. (125 words)▆ Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harsh realities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more. We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdened with a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work over ten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easy either, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they don’t like. Finally those who are about to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job. It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days. (134 words)Unit 2 Learning a language▆Write a passage in about 100-120 words, taking either of the following titles:1) Why I like to learn English2) Why I hate to learn English▆Sample essay for Task 1:Why I like to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say that I am highly motivated to master English. First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot. A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.▆Sample essay for Task 2:Why I hate to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time. Secondly, I don’t understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don’twant to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn’t need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So, i f I don’t have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.Unit 3 Parents and Children1.In about 100-120 words, write about an incident of misunderstanding between you and your mother/father. Tell usabout how it all started and what happened in the end.2.In about 100-120 words, describe the similarities and differences in the way your father and mother show their lovefor you . Be sure to give examples.▆Sample essay for Task 1A misunderstanding between my mother and IOne afternoon, I was wandering along the main street of our small town with a friend. Suddenly I saw my mother. She was behaving very strangely. She looked around her before going quickly into a shop. When she came out, she had a box in her hand. I was terrified. I knew some of my villagers resorted to theft because they were poor. The thought that my mother could be one of them drove me crazy. I was determined to find out the truth from her. When I questioned her, tears filled her eyes. She told me she was collecting beer cans from some kind shop owners who offered them to her, but would feel embarrassed if she was seen by others. I cried and hugged her and felt sorry that I had misunderstood my own mother.▆Sample essay for Task 2:My parents’ loveMy parents differ greatly in showing their love for me. While my mother appears more anxious and depressed if anything goes wrong with me, my father tends to be silent and expresses his concern for me mainly through actions rather than words. I still remember the day when I left home for university. When my mother was in tears and kept giving me endless advice, my father remained silent. But when he saw an ice-cream man on the platform, he rushed towards him and got me an ice-cream just before the train started to move. I learned from my mother later that my father locked himself up in his room after returning home and cried for the first time in his life. I never expected that my departure would trigger such an emotional response from my father.Unit 4 Growing up1. In about 100-120 words, write about a conflict you once had with your parents .You can start with either of the following openings:1) I was very unhappy with my mother/father the other day…2) I was grateful that my mother/father criticised me the other day…2.Describe your attitude toward your father or mother when you were a teenger. When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.▆Sample essay for Task 1:I was very unhappy with my mother /father the other day. . .I was very unhappy with my father the other day. He must have called out to me for help with some housework, but I was so absorbed in reading that I did not hear him. He stepped into my room , apparently in anger, grabbed my book and threw it on the floor. I got upset and insisted he should pick it up and apologize to me. When he remained silent, I ran out and went off to play games with friends in the neighbourhood. When it was turning dark, I saw my father looking for me. He patted me on the head walked back home with me, his arm wrapped around my shoulder. When I got home, I saw my book had "returned" to my reading table.▆Sample essay for Task 2:I was very grateful that my mother /father criticised the other day. . .I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day. I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have--a new pair of shoes or some new clothes. Every time I was refused, I played the same trick -- threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river. My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard. She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in acorner and reflect on my own behavior. I could not believe my mother could be so angry with me and I grew afraid. I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards. I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.▆Sample essay for Task 2:I was so proud of my fatherMy father is a well-known carpenter in my village. I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him make furniture for the villagers. He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge. All the villagers respected him. They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him , saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father. I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.Unit 5 Knowing YourselfWrite a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.1) Describe a few of your own personality traits. Then identify your favourite colour and see if the descriptions of the colour in Text B match your personality.2) Think of the person you admire most. Write two personality traits that you like most about this person. Remember to give an example for each personality trait.3) Imagine that you had been given a wish to change your life. Write about two personality traits that you would like to have and give your reasons.4) Write about a person whom you dislike most and give one or two reasons or examples why you dislike him or her so much.▆Sample essay 1)I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert. I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I. When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me. I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent. In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot. Maybe being happy is the attraction. I like bright colours, especially red. It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy. I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time. So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.▆Sample essay 2)The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother. He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven. He is a high achiever. Since young, he has done well in his studies and work. For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England. Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outgoing. He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards. What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky. He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries. His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impress me a lot.▆Sample essay 3)If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and content with what they have. They seldom let sadness be a part of their life. I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy. I also would like to be creative. I think that creativity is inherited. Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative. However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.▆Sample essay 4)There is no one person I disagree most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness. Aggressive people do not consider other’s feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them. I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next. His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her. Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness. Likeaggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves. There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends. If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.。
大学英语(一)Unit1课文译文和练习
Unit One TextHow to Adapt to College Life Quickly课文译文如何快速适应大学生活当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。
在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。
然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。
除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。
几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。
但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。
1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。
你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。
和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。
他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。
2、走出你的宿舍。
上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。
他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。
因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。
弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。
3、制定详细的学习计划。
学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。
这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。
4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。
而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。
和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。
做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。
你只年轻一次！记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。
记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。
从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。

Unit 7 College Life新编大学英语第二版第四册教案
Unit 7 College LifeUseful InformationStudents leave for college at age 17 or 18, many of them have never been away from home and their family. The transition to greater freedom and responsibility may be difficult for them, with no one to wake them up for breakfast or do their laundry, and fewer classes to attend but larger amounts of homework. Some students do not adjust successfully. In the ., where almost 70% of high school graduates enter college, only a minority of these actually graduate. Elsewhere, with fewer attending college, higher percentages may graduate.College has many social attractions, some of which can be distractions. Sports, concerts, parties, and dormitory bull sessions (闲聊) can be very time consuming. The temptation to stay up too late at night or sleep too late in the morning is always present, so self-discipline is an important lesson to learn. In addition many students have part-time jobs, especially in the . where most students have cars and are expected to help their parents pay for tuition or college housing.Students and their parents may disagree on how much time should be devoted to studying. But they usually agree that in addition to some learning and possibly some fun, one of the outcomes of a college education should be a good job. Students who have already worked at part-time jobs have an advantage in the job market, but this is not the only way to improve one’s chances. Many colleges have internships or co-op programs to give students practical experience in their future careers. Others have special classes where students can practice their application forms and letters, résumés, personal statements, and employment interviews. Most colleges have career counselors and either career days or career fairs where students can meet potential employers and learn about career alternatives. Recently many jobs have been listedon the Internet, making it easier to match students with suitable opportunities and more important for students to acquire computer skills.College can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be very stressful. Making their own decisions can be very difficult for young people accustomed to parental supervision. When students make bad decisions, such as drinking too much beer or procrastinating in their studies, they are not always mature enough to admit or correct their mistakes. But having the freedom to make these mistakes, and the obligation to face their consequences, is part of the learning process. When older people look back on their student years, they usually view this as a happy period of life, even if it did not always feel that way at the time.Parents, teachers, advisors, and counselors can help students move successfully from high school to college and from college to careers. But in the last analysis students must do most of this for themselves, with more help than we may realize from their friends and classmates. College students learn as much outside as inside the classroom, and most of this is not learned from adult authority figures. The peer group and the youthful popular culture are increasingly strong influences on today’s students. So parents and other potential role models should try to be aware of this, even if they don’t always appreciate the latest trends in casual clothing or pop music. College is a time of change, and the parents can learn almost as much from this as the students can. They too were once students, just as today’s students will one day be parents.Part One PREPARATION1. Talking about Your High-School ClassmatesSample:I graduated from __________ High School, a key high school in __________ Province. Among the 50 students in my class, 48 are enrolled in universities, mostly national key universities. Three went to Peking University and two to Tsinghua University. The three who went to Peking University are majoring in Law, Philosophy and Physics respectively and the two who went to Tsinghua University are majoring in Computer Science and Information Science. In this university alone there are five of us, doing different majors; three of my former classmates are enrolled in normal universities, one in Beijing Normal University, one in South China Normal University and one in East China Normal University.2. Talking about Your College Life—Expectations vs RealitySample:1) Campus:Expectations—large and beautiful campus with green grass everywhere and a large sports ground, where you can always see students busy and full of vitality.Reality—Just as what I dreamed of – a huge campus with magnificent modern buildings, green trees, blooming flowers and a river flowing around.—Contrary to what I expected, it’s an old campus, large though, with grey buildings like huge match-boxes, little grass, and a few big trees.2) Classroom buildings:Expectations—large new classrooms with modern facilities.Reality—well equipped teaching buildings with multi-media facilities.—large old buildings, with a few classrooms well equipped with modern facilities.3) Dormitories:Expectations—crowded with little space for everyone.Reality—true, but we may choose to live in a double room if we can afford the rent.4) Students’ cafeterias:Expectations—spacious dining halls, full of hungry students.Reality—true, and there is a great variety of food that will definitely appease our appetite.5) Library:Expectations—a large collection of books, journals and periodicals; spacious and well-lit reading rooms.Reality—true except that the reading rooms are not large enough and students have to get there early in order to find a seat.6) Classmates:Expectations—friendly and speaking different dialects.Reality—true.7) Teachers:Expectations—old, gray-haired and wearing thick glasses; strict and formally dressed.Reality—not true because many teachers are very young, especially English teachers, many teachers do not wear glasses and many teachers wear casual clothes.3. Happy College DaysSample1:The most impressive experience for me is running for the chair of the Student Union. I used to be very timid. That experience, however, helped me gain much confidence. For the first time, I made a public speech and realized, all at once, that I had the potential to organize. One thing that shouldn’t be left out is thatmy friends and classmates gave me enormous support. I did appreciate what they had done for me.Sample 2:I believe that the New Year’s Eve of 2004 can never be erased from my mind. Thousands of students gathered in the auditorium waiting for the new year. We held the lighted candles in our hands, our hearts beating with the rhythm of the music. Minutes went by. When the big clock finally turned straight upward, screams and laughter resonated in the hall. We hugged and said New Year’s greetings to each other. It was such a thrilling moment.4.

W. Emerson (1803–1882): R. W. Emerson,a US poet and writer who had great influence on the religious and philosophical thought of his time.W. B. Yeats⊙Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.— W. B. Yeats Interpretation:Instead of stuffing students with knowledge, real education aims at bringing out what is inside students and cultivating their potential.About W. B. Yeats (1865–1939): W. B. Yeats, an Irish writer of poems and plays, whose early work is often based on old Irish stories. He is considered one of the most important Irish writers, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.Galileo⊙You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.—GalileoInterpretation:Teaching doesn’t really help anyone, but it helps a person find out what he/she is good at.About Galileo (1564–1642): Galileo, an Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist whose many discoveries had a great influence on modern science. He discovered mountains and craters (月球表面的环形山) on the surface of the Moon, and his study of the changes in the appearance of Venus (金星) proved that it was moving around the Sun. He also discovered that if you drop objects of different weights from a high place, they fall at the same speed.

I would like to tell you that if you select something that you love and that you’re passionate about, everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to get a great job with your degree, but of course this is not completely true. However, when you’re going to college, your primary reason for going to college is to educate yourself, which means to make yourself a better person both intellectually, spiritually, mentally, all of these things.2.Discuss the topic with your group members:What are the recommended concerns in selecting a college major according to the video clip?And how did you choose your current major?▇Answers for reference:According to the video clip, the main concerns should be: first, to choose something you really enjoy; second, to choose something your school is well known for.Script:Hi, this is Laura Turner, and today I’m going to talk to you about how to select your college major. I would like to tell you that if you select something that you love and thatyou’re passionate about, everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to g et a great job with your degree, but of course this is not completely true. However, when you’re going to college, your primary reason for going to college is to educate yourself, which means tomake yourself a better person both intellectually, spiritually, mentally, all of these things. So, whenever you choose your major, I would say yes, do choose something that you enjoy,because really if you are just in it to get a degree that will get you a high-paying job andyou’re not really passionate about this and you want to be an Engineering Major justbecause you know that’s going to make you into a high earning person, that may be thewrong reason to study it because you’re going to get overwhelmed over time because adegree takes, it’s four years out of your life that you’re going to be studying this thing. There has to be something beyond money, and beyond the job that’s going to keep you interested.So I would suggest picking something that you love as well as, hopefully, it will besomething that will get you a job. Also, my other point is, pick something that your school is well known for, something in your school, the major in your school that actually has really great professors to teach you. If you have a great English Department, if you have a greatH istory Department, and you’re passionate about those things, study with professors whoare great and they can help turn a little bit of interest in a subject matter into a lifelong love of it. So good luck with choosing your major wisely.Part II Listen and RespondSection A Word BankSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas1.

In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.College is a lot different from high school. Your freshman experience will definitely make an impression on you. So, what can you expect as you head off into the wonderful world of higher education?The first thing you’ll notice is the workload. It will be heavier than you ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are the large amount of reading and writing, and the short deadlines.

But you should continue to be yourself. Select your friends with the same care and patience you have always shown. Believe it or not, your college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term of your life. It’s always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.You’ll also be on your own —you’ll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Don’t waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career. Going to college is not just to get a degree — it is to find out who you really are and what you are really made for.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1.

Straight-A students, in this respect, can be of great help by sharing their secrets in achieving academic excellence. Read the following text to find out what some of these secrets are.Secrets of Straight-A Students1 A professor of education who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students. According to him, other education experts and top students themselves, it is far more important for a student to know how to make the most of his or her innate abilities.2 The students at the top of the class attain academic excellence by mastering a fewbasic principles that others can easily learn.To begin with, top students know how to set their priorities right. Study time is never compromised for phone calls, television programmes or snacks.In other words, it is always placed above recreation. In addition, top students make a point of studying anywhere or everywhere. A top student who is also a top athlete memorises biology terms as he works out every day. Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some thrive at night when all is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fresh in their minds. However, all agreed that consistency is a main factor if one is to perform well at all times.3 A student must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student immediately files the day’s notes in colour-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving one’s memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that will lead to a full understanding of the author’s message.4 It is also important for students to know how to schedule their time. They must know how to pace each assignment or project according to their daily timetable and work ability so that they might not be overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timetables not only allows students more time to review and polish their work, it also prevents them from procrastinating. Top students believe that a secret of their success is the taking down of good notes during lessons and using them for revision. One student revealed that she writes notes from the text on one side of her notebook and those from her teachers’ lectures on the other side. This allows her to review both aspects of each lesson at once. The student also revealed that instead of wasting time whispering to friends and getting ready to rush out of the class just before the bell rings, she uses those few minutes to jot down a two or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points. She then scans the notes to refresh her memory before the next day’s class.5 Another winning formula which teachers promote lies in a student’s ability to hand in neat work. According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already on the way to scoring an A.In the classroom context, it is equally important for students to speak up and ask questions. This is perhaps the best way for a student to clarify any doubts. Classroom participation also demonstrates a student’s intellectual curiosity. As a student concisely puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.”6 The value of studying together was demonstrated in an experiment conducted at one top university. The study revealed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored higher than those who laboured on their own. The experiment also illuminated the value of hypothetical tests conducted among the students and on their own. This means that students frame tentative test questions based on their notes and give each other or themselves written examinations the day before a test. Experts confirmed that students who devise possible test questions often find many of the same questions during the real examination and thus score higher.7 Another technique employed by top students is to do more than the assigned homework.A student revealed that if her teacher gives five problems, she will undertake ten. In the student’s words, “Part of learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.” Last but not least, all experts and top students agree that the most important “secret” of super-achievers lies in the crucial contribution by parents. From infancy, super-achievers were taught the importance of learning by their parents. The latter set high standards for their children and held them to those standards. They encouraged their children in their studies but did not undertake the work for them. Instead of pressuring their children, these parents were always loving, gentle and took pains to explain and motivate. They impressed the lessons of responsibility on their children, andthe children delivered.（此课文没有更新，不需要配图说明。

Passage one: College Life1 If life were a colorful drawing, college life would be one of the brightest colors. If life were a meaningful poem, college life would be one of the most beautiful words. College life is an especially important period of time. If you make good use of your golden time in college, you will learn a lot of things not only in the textbooks, but also outside the textbooks; not only in theory, but also in practice.2 When you become a college student, it means you begin to lead another new life, and learn to support yourself. You need to be used to the new surroundings. You must try everything by yourself. You must learn to stand on your feet with no walking stick.3 College is just like a small society. Living under the same sun, we need to be sociable. So it is necessary for us to communicate with others. Social communication is not easier to learn than other skills. If you can keep smiling, others will also be more ready to help you. Speaking also plays an important role in communication. Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs.4 As a small society, college is of course full of competition. As a college student, you will face hunting for your job very soon. College students try to exercise before entering the big society. The purpose is to test both their knowledge and ability. When you see them working hard to get good academic scores and taking part in all sorts of activities to sharpen their ability, how can you stand in the same place? Some students even find some part-time jobs to practice themselves and get more social experiences.5 We must get more and more knowledge and learn techniques to deal with the new situation. “Time and tide wait for no man!” We must treasure every minute of our coll ege life. If you want to be successful in the near future, you should get involved not only in school subjects but also in outside class activities.6 College is a mountain of treasures. If you pay attention to your college life, you will pick up a lot of precious stones named knowledge, good sense, cooperative spirit and determination.Passage two: My Campus Life1. In my 18 years of life, there have been many things. University days are the best part of them. I can never forget the days when I stepped into my university. I was impressed by its garden-like campus, its enthusiastic students and especially its learning atmosphere. I at once fell in love with it.2. Firstly, studying on the campus gives me lots of pleasure. After some very arduous military training,I became absolutely absorbed in my studies. Different from high school courses, the courses in university are specific and interesting. I can get information not only from teachers in class, but also outside of class, such as in the library, on the Internet and so on. These courses arouse my insatiable desire for knowledge and make me learn and digest as much as I can. To be frank, I had some difficulties in keeping up with my teachers at first, but later with the help of my teachers, I made remarkable progress.3. Secondly, social activities on campus provide me with more chances to learn. I will never forget the days I served as a volunteer at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. After some training in Chinese history and language skills both in Japanese and English, I endeavored to serve our distinguished guests from all over the world enthusiastically. I was a volunteer as well as a disseminator of our splendid culture. There was no doubt that I came across many difficulties at first, such as humid weather, language barriers and so on. Thanks to other volunteers’ help, I overcame those difficulties. When it was time to depart, I couldn’t help bursting into tears, because I had developed a deep friendship with other volunteers. This precious experience made me aware of the huge responsibility on my shoulders.4. Besides study and social practice, there are entertainment as well. I do body building every day, hoping to keep healthy and energetic. We also write a play and put it on in our spare time.5. Finally, I want to say that although there are some difficulties or setbacks during my university days, campus life has been the most splendid time in my life so far.Passage Three：太空探秘Space is the most hostile environment we will ever explore. Even a single five-hour space walk requires months of training, and a vast technical backup to keep it safe. The astronauts and cosmonauts who live aboard the ISS will be there for only a few weeks or months; if we want to travel into deep space it could take years.First we’ll have to find out just how long the human body can survive in a weightless environment. In zero gravity, four pints of body fluid rush from the legs to the head where it stays for the duration of the mission. Astronauts often feel as if they have a permanent cold, and disorientation can become a major problem.In space there’s no physical sensation to let you know when you’re upside down and astronauts have to rely on visual clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit, one in three of all astronauts will experience space sickness---a feeling rather like carsickness. And weightless conditions lead to calcium being leached from the bones, and problems with the astronauts’ immune systems.Trillions of rocky fragments—meteoroids—roam our Solar System at speeds of up to 150,000 miles an hour. A meteoroid no bigger than a grain of salt could pierce a spaceship window. Protection from the extreme hazards of space is going to need some clever technology. Space is also full of lethal radiation---X-rays, gamma rays and the high-speed particles called cosmic rays.补充知识-通知的书写方法（不用翻译）Notice （通知）通知是一种公告性的应用文。
描述一下自己大学的生活英语作文
描述一下自己大学的生活英语作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1College Life: A Whirlwind of Growth and DiscoveryCollege has been an exhilarating journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and unforgettable experiences. As an enthusiastic freshman stepping onto campus, I was filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation, unsure of what lay ahead. Little did I know that these past few years would shape me in ways I couldn't have imagined.The transition from high school to college was undoubtedly daunting. Suddenly, I found myself in a vast, new environment, surrounded by thousands of students from diverse backgrounds. The newfound independence was both liberating and overwhelming. Gone were the days of having my parents' watchful eyes and rigid schedules. It was up to me to navigate the complexities of college life, from managing my time effectively to making responsible choices.In those early days, I'll admit, I stumbled a bit. Balancing coursework, extracurricular activities, and a social life was adelicate juggling act. There were late nights spent in the library, fueled by caffeine and determination, as I grappled with complex concepts and looming deadlines. But with each challenge, I grew more resilient, learning to prioritize and seek help when needed.One of the most significant aspects of college has been the incredible diversity I've encountered. Classmates from different states, countries, and cultures have broadened my perspectives and challenged my preconceptions. Engaging inthought-provoking discussions, exploring alternative viewpoints, and forming friendships with people from vastly different backgrounds has been an enriching experience. It has taught me the importance of empathy, open-mindedness, and embracing differences.Beyond academics, college has provided a plethora of opportunities for personal growth. Joining student organizations and clubs has allowed me to explore new interests, develop leadership skills, and forge lasting connections.

Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate.

Unit-1-College-Life课文翻译大学休会英语一
Unit 1 College LifePassage A So Much to LearnIt was the last day of final examinations in a large Eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors huddled, discussing the exam due to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was confidence. This was their last exam before they went on to commencement and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others of jobs they would get. With all this assurance of four years of college study, they felt ready and able to conquer the world.The approaching exam, they knew, would be a snap. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not talk to each other during the test.Jubilantly, they filed into the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And their smiles broadened as the students noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. No one spoke as the professor faced the class with the papers in her hand.She surveyed the worried faces before her, then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”?Not a hand was raised.“How many answered four?”Still no hands.“Three? Two?”The students shifted restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.”But the class remained silent. The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I expected,” she said.“I just want to impress upon you that, even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday practice.”Then, smiling, sh e added: “You will all pass this course, but remember that even though you are now college graduates, your education has just begun .”The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson she taught.A篇学无止境故事发生在一所东部大学里。

University is also the most concentrated period in our life, which can take advantages and avoid weaknesses, which can be torn away for a long time. So if his university is obscure and indifferent, he will not really understand the meaning and function of University. Because once the passion of youth is lost, it will never be found, so the university must and do it and cherish it.A university is the beginning of the other three years of university is an important year, so the first step to enter university to go to the other, so that it can lay the foundation for three years, I believe as long as the time step, can be increased step by step, step by step. All because of dreamsail!1/ 3Less than that, the university is another new starting point for our life. It is the University of real significance. It is the most important journey of every fortunate university student. This route is composed of three broad steps and numerous thin brick tiles, which is our young and cold youth. However, how to deal with the first step of the University. The big one is now each just entering college students thinking, the feelings of regret.The first is the beginning of the good end, but also the sign of the end. The great one is the same as many of our circumstances, only once, and the beginning of this is that it has the influence of winning and even the meaning of the decision.There is an essential difference between a university and a high school. Here, you will find that you are more free, more dominant, and completely control your life. Because of this, we are more likely to be confused and easier to lose our direction. Sometimes we dont know what we are pursuing.The goal of life is the navigation mark of the road of life, and it is the motive force of the progress of life. After losing my time for a long time, I initially established my universitys aim of struggle by communicating with senior students and communicating with teachers. I decided to be a 2/ 3compound talent with high ideological awareness, good psychological quality, good professional skills and strong ability to work through three years of college study. This is also a requirement for college students in the new century.The goal is established, and our students have regained a constant source of motivation. Because I am very interested in English, I have English as a breakthrough to improve oral English ability, I get rid of the bad habit of sleeping in, every morning in the campus to read English loudly, Crazy English Greeting of every tree and bush. Through hard work, academic achievements have been gradually improved.College life is a long way of life, and it is also a piece of music of the song of life. This passage, even short, is long, and the movement may be beautiful and sad. Although my college life has just begun, I believe it will be full of happiness.Finally, I am here to wish you all the best to work together, to make progress together, to accumulate more experience, and to make a better way for you.3/ 3。
