Alarmed, Grandma said, “Honey, where areyou going?”Grandpa replied, “To get my teeth!”___T___ 1. Grandpa and Grandma had a lovely talk while the sun was setting.___T___ 2. While talking, Grandpa obligingly took Grandma’s hand.___F___ 3. Grandma gave Grandpa a lingering kiss because of his love and care.___F___ 4. Grandma asked Grandpa if he had remembered nibbling her earbefore their marriage.___F___ 5. Grandpa’s false teeth dropped out with his hearty laugh.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.Can you recite the alphabet(字母表) easily and quickly? Can youwrite your name easily? Can you play scales(音阶) on a musical instrument?You would probably say that you memorized all this. But what you actually did was to learn them. And the way you learned them was by forming a habit! In other words, what was once quite difficult for you, such as reciting the alphabet orplaying scales, became easy and almost automatic when you formed the habit ofdoing it. So memory can be described as learning by means of forming habits.A human being has a tremendous(巨大的) number of such habits that enablehim to do most of the ordinary things in life, such as fastening buttons or washing hands. But suppose you read a book and then someone asked you what the book was about, or how to describe the plot(情节). Surely, your response cannot be said to come from habit.But if you examine the situation carefully, you will see that something very much like habit does play a part. For example, with ordinary habits, you learn howto put certain elements together in the proper order. Now, when you give the plot ofa book, or tell what it’s about, you are doing the same kind of thing. In fact, some psychologists say that all learning (and this also means memory) is made up of avast combination of simple habits.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer thefollowing questionsorally.1. What would people say about doing things easily hand quickly in life?They would probably say that people had memorized how to do them.2. What can memory be described as, according to the talk?It can be described as learning by means of forming habits.3. What can habits do?They enable us to do most of the ordinary things in life.4. What are you actually doing while describing the plot of book?You are making sue of something that is very much like habit.5. What question do you think the speaker is trying to answer?What is memory?10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.How important is memory to learning?。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译（5-8单元）
21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)21世纪高等院校教材作为国家教委组织攻关的项目,正在各高校、各学科中进行酝酿、计划、编写之中。
而21世纪大学英语教材更受人瞩目。
21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(5-8单元)1987年，普丽西拉·瓦日奎兹一边为高中毕业作准备，一边急切地等待着华盛顿大学的录取通知书，希望自己成为家中读大学的第一人。
当录取通知书送来时，她欣喜若狂。
只有一个问题：华盛顿大学没有为普丽西拉提供助学金。
它只为她提供了一笔数目不大的贷款，并要求她的家庭负担其余的费用。
“我家挣的钱刚够全家生活，但要花那么多钱供我上学却还不够，”她说。
普丽西拉打电话向经济资助办公室咨询。
他们告诉她说，未来的大学生要寻求更多的经济资助，必须与父母分开生活至少两年才符合条件。
在这期间，他们的父母不能在家庭税单上称他们为被赡养人。
“听到这话，我完全惊呆了，”普丽西拉回忆道，“我意识到我必须抽出一些时间去工作，在经济上不依靠父母，然后重新申请入学。
推迟实现我的梦想令人伤心，但这是唯一的选择。
”不到一个月，普丽西拉就在一家餐馆找到了一份工作，并搬到了西雅图贫民区一套低廉的公寓房去住。
她还报名参加了城里的一个职业培训班，学的是秘书专业。
那是一种很难适应的生活方式。
“我早上6点起床，坐很长时间的公交车去学校，下午2点下课，3点开始工作，晚上11点下班，然后回到家就累垮了。
”普丽西拉不久就发现她在餐馆的那份工作的收入还不够她维持生计。
“于是我找到我那幢公寓楼的楼主，问有没有什么清洁工作可以让我做。
他因为同情我，便同意让我每月工作30个小时。
”职业培训班按计划要历时6个月。
但普丽西拉只用了4个月就读完了。
“他们教我各种办公技能和文字处理程序。
我还学会了如何在办公室环境里接电话，以及如何撰写得体的商业函件，”她说。
培训班帮普丽西拉在一家小公司找到了一份秘书工作。
“这是我第一份像样的工作，”她说。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第2册答案
21世纪大学英语读写教程第2册答案《21 世纪大学英语读写教程第 2 册答案》在大学的英语学习中，《21 世纪大学英语读写教程》是许多同学的重要学习资料。
而对于第 2 册的答案，不少同学都在寻找。
答案对于学习的作用，既有帮助理解知识点、检验学习成果的一面，也有可能带来依赖、失去自主思考的风险。
我们先来看看书中的阅读理解部分。
这部分的答案通常需要对文章有深入的理解和分析。
比如，一些细节题需要我们仔细阅读文本，捕捉关键信息；而主旨题则要求我们把握文章的整体脉络和核心思想。
对于课后的词汇练习，答案往往是对词汇掌握程度的检验。
通过答案，我们能知道自己是否准确理解了单词的含义、用法和搭配。
但要注意的是，仅仅知道答案是不够的，更重要的是掌握词汇的记忆方法和运用技巧。
在翻译练习中，答案能为我们提供参考的标准和思路。
但不能只是简单地对照答案，而是要思考为什么这样翻译，其中涉及的语法结构和词汇选择的依据是什么。
写作部分的答案则更多地是提供一种优秀的范例。
我们可以学习范文的结构、逻辑、语言表达等方面，但绝不能照抄照搬。
然而，过分依赖答案并不是一种好的学习方式。
如果只是为了得到一个正确的结果而直接看答案，就会失去自己思考和探索的过程。
这样一来，虽然短期内可能在作业或考试中取得不错的成绩，但从长远来看，不利于英语能力的真正提升。
真正有效的学习应该是在自己努力思考和尝试之后，再去参考答案。
比如在做阅读理解时，先自己认真阅读并回答问题，然后再对照答案进行分析和总结。
如果回答错误，要思考自己错在哪里，是没有理解文章的意思，还是对问题的理解有误。
对于词汇练习，要在做完之后，查看答案并整理出错题，加强对错误词汇的记忆和理解。
在翻译和写作练习中，先独立完成，然后对比答案，学习其中优秀的表达方式和语法结构，不断改进自己的翻译和写作水平。
此外，老师在教学过程中对答案的使用也应该谨慎。
不能只是简单地公布答案，而应该引导学生自己去思考和探索，帮助学生分析问题，找到解决问题的方法。
21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第二册）课文翻译及课后习题答案unit5
21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第二册）课文翻译及课后习题答案unit5Unit 5珍贵的遗产罗恩?戈尔德埃尔西外婆去世时我才17岁。
她是我祖父母一辈中最后一个去世的，我是她唯一的外孙。
直到律师宣读她遗嘱的那一刻，我才充分感受到这位老妇人深深的爱。
这是一个我永生难忘的时刻——这一天，我成了镇上最富有的孩子。
我和父母、索菲姨妈、比尔姨夫围坐在她的律师办公室的小型会议桌旁。
她想让她的女儿和女婿们一起分享她所留下的一点财富——包括小额保险单的收益、几个手镯、一些珠宝和她的结婚戒指。
除此之外，她还给他们留下了房子的契约、银行账户、当地电气公司的少许股票以及一面美国国旗。
这面国旗是军方为爱德温外公举行葬礼时授予她的。
我们起身离去时，律师对我们说，“还有三样东西。
”他从公文包里取出一个小小的珠宝盒、一封信和一叠用红纸整整齐齐包着的信封。
“杰弗里，你的外婆把她的订婚钻戒留给了你，希望你不久就能好好地派上用处。
”大家都笑了起来。
“这些也是给你的，杰弗里，”他说，“这封信和这些情书可能是所有遗产中最珍贵的。
”外婆的信是这样开始的:“亲爱的杰弗里，我把我最珍贵的财富之一——我的回忆——留给你。
这些回忆即是你爱德温外公不在我身边时写给我的信。
请读读这些信吧，它们是无价之宝，是指导你如何去爱一个女人、如何理解别人、如何重视并保持正直品格的指南。
“读这些信时，你会感受到一个出色的男人对一个出色的女人的思念和激情，你会了解战争给人们带来的恐惧和痛苦，你会认识到是非之分，你会学会信任你爱的人，远离你不信任的人，你也会知道什么是陈酿的友谊，真爱何以会成为你生活的核心。
“杰弗里，我一直都很幸运。
我爱着一个优秀的男人，他也深爱着我。
尽管他的爱现在已经成了回忆，但它也是一个永远也不会结束的真实的梦。
爱就像一张存放在相册中的美丽的照片。
每当你惊奇地凝视它时，你都能欣赏到它的美。
爱可以使时间停滞，使你再一次青春焕发——永远青春焕发！爱德温外公是个军人，是一位职业军官，第一次世界大战期间赴法国，在潘兴将军的部队中服役。

Unit 5Holding Onto a DreamI.Teaching Objectives1.Understand the audio materials of this unit.2.Grasp the key words , phrases and structure.3.Master the skills of writing and reading in this unit.1) Developing a passage with cause-and-effect situations.2) Understanding the meaning of idiomatic expressions in reading materials.II.Teaching Content1.Lead-in Activities2.Text Organization3.Skill Learning in Writing and Readingnguage Points (key words, phrases and difficult sentences)5.Grammar Focus ( “Only if ” and “if only”, “v-ing phrases”－nominal and adverbial )6.Guided Practice ( exercises, oral practice and group work )III.Teaching Process1. Warm-up Questions/Activity1) General introduction: In a market-driven economy the splendid tradition of student poverty is becoming less fashionable. And as every student is painfully aware, scholarships have a sad tendency not to keep up with the cost of living. As a result, more and more students all over the world are facing the same problem: how to balance work and school. The passages you’re going to read in this unit examine not only the down-to-earth realities of finding a job and working your way through school, but also how difficult (and sometimes humorous!) it can be to separate academic theory from the demands of the working world.2) Questions: A) How did you feel when the acceptance arrived?B) Did you meet financial problems at that time?3.) Briefly sum up the story of Priscilla Vasquez.This text is a story of Priscilla Vazquez, how Priscilla made her dream come true. She wanted to be the first one to college in her family. But when the letter of Washington University arrived, she found that she didn’t have enough to go. Then she lived on her own and worked for her tuition fee. Two years later, she reapplied to Washington University and was accepted. She finished the course with BA under serious circumstances.We can see she almost spent 9 years to finish her college. It is rare in China while common in USA. Only if you have the determination, you can realize your dream.American college student hold a different opinion: they focus on process not the result. They don’t care when to graduate or taking off, once they can do something they’re interested in.4) Questions about the text----- How many of Priscilla's brothers or sisters have received college education? (None.)----- How long do students need to be financially independent from their parents before they qualify for additional financial aid? (At least two years.)----- What was Priscilla's first job? (Working at a restaurant.)-----What did Priscilla learn in the job-training program?(She learned various office skills and word-processing programs, and she also learned to answer the phone in an office setting, and write proper business letters.)----How did Priscilla balance work and school in her first semester?(She stayed up late studying and went to work early every morning. She had ahard time but she ended up with two A's in her first semester.)----What was Priscilla's major? And what did she do in the summer of 1992?(Her major was archeology. She was offered an opportunity to join in a summer research project at a site alongside the Snake River in Washington.)----What did Priscilla do after she graduated from Wenatchee Valley College?(She applied to the University of Washington once more.)---- Looking back on her years of struggle to make her dream come true, what does Priscilla conclude from her own experience? (To balance work and study, you have to know yourself. To know what you can take and what you can't take. You need discipline, but you need determination most. Get back up where you get put down, and keep fighting.)2. Text Organization. The way of developing the text:Development by Time1987 (para.1-6) Priscilla gave up after receiving the letter of Washington University because of the lack of tuition fee. Then she moved out of the family to work for the fee.1990 (para. 7-8) Priscilla enrolled at Washington University after reapplying.1992 (para.9) Priscilla took a semester off to do a project in North Dakota.1993 (para.10) Priscilla moved to California to work for her brother and studied at a local community college.1994 (para.11) Priscilla graduated from Wenatchee Valley College with a Associate of Arts degree and enrolled again at Washington University.1996 (para.12) She graduated from Washington University and was awarded BA.3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading1) Writing skill: developing a passage with cause-and-effect situationsIdentify and learn how the author organizes the sample cause-and-effect paragraph (paragraph 5):Cause 1: Priscilla soon found that her restaurant job didn’t pay enough for her to make ends meet.Effect 1: So I went to the landlord of my apartment building and asked if there was any cleaning work I could do.Cause 2: Since he felt sorry for meEffect 2: He agreed to give me thirty hours a month.2) Reading skill: understanding the meaning of idiomatic expressions in reading materials.Practice hypothesizing the meaning of idiomatic expressions in reading materials.Remember that in the case of idiomatic expressions,word formation clues can be misleading, but that context clues—examples, explanations, contrsts or parallel phrases—will help you figure out meanings.4. Language Points1) the University of WashingtonThe University of Washington is a state-supported institution of higher education occupying a campus of 684 acres in Seattle, Washington State, USA. Founded in 1861, the university is the oldest publicly supported supported on the US Pacific Coast. Instruction was first offered on a campus in what is now the central business district of Seattle. The move to the present campus was made in 1895. The university library collection contains over 5 million catalogued volumes, an equal number in microform and several million items in other formats.2) community collegeA community college is a two-year publicly owned college that offers programs of study enabling students to terminate their higher education with an earned degree, transfer to a senior college, or pursue studies that do not lead to a degree. An Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree (A.A. or A.S.) is awarded upon completion of two years of study. Community colleges offer a wide range of academic, vocational and avocational programs and also provide non-credit adult education. Students can transfer to four-year colleges from community colleges. Community colleges have fairly open admissions policy and flexible curricula. They are the educational and cultural centers of the communities they serve. Wenatchee Valley College, which was founded in 1939, is a community college located 145 miles from Seattle in Wenatchee, Washington State, USA.3) degree, credit, and credit hourDegrees are titles conferred on students by a college or university on completion of a program of study. Normally there are four types of degrees: Associate's (completion of a program in a specific career field). Bachelor's (conferred after completion of an undergraduate program). Master's (first graduate degree), and Doctorate (second graduate degree and final degree).4)holding onto a dream.(title)hold onto: try to keep; stick to; not give up 抓住；坚持How long can the climber hold onto the cliff（峭壁）?We should hold onto the house and sell it later when prices are higher.They hold on to their principles with a rare firmness.5) When the acceptance latter arrived, she was overjoyed.(para. 1)overjoyed adj. extremely pleased and happy:We're overjoyed at your news.[+ to infinitive] Helen was overjoyed to hear that she had got the job.[+ that] I'm overjoyed that you're coming to visit me.6) It offered her only a small loan and expected her family to come up with the rest.

4 Within a month, Priscilla had found a job at a restaurant and moved into a cheap apartment in a poor neighborhood of Seattle. She also signed up for a job-training program in the city, to learn to be a secretary. It was a hard lifestyle to adjust to. “I got up at 6 a.m. for a long commute to school, finished class at 2 p.m., started work at three, got off my shift at 11 p.m., and then I came back home and collapsed.”
5 Priscilla soon found that her restaurant job just didn’t pay enough for her to make ends meet. “So I went to the landlord of my apartment building and asked if there was any cleaning work I could do. Since he felt sorry for me, he agreed to give me thirty hours a month.”

Holding Onto a Dream
1 While preparing to graduate from high school in 1987, Priscilla Vazquez waited anxiously for her letter from the University of Washington, hoping she would be thห้องสมุดไป่ตู้ first person in her family to attend college. When the acceptance letter arrived, she was overjoyed.
Intensive Study
6 The job-training program was designed to last six months. Priscilla finished it in four. “They taught me various office skills and word-processing programs. I also learned to answer the phone in an office setting, and write proper business letters,” she said. The program helped Priscilla find employment as a secretary with a small company. “It was my first decent job,” she says. “I was nineteen years old, living on my own, and making $15,000 a year.”
8 Balancing work and school was difficult. “I was staying up late studying, and going to work early every morning. I was having a hard time concentrating in class, and a hard time on the job because I was so tired,” she says. But she ended up with two A’s in her first semester anyway.
Text Organization
Development by Time 1987 (para.1-6) Priscilla gave up after receiving the letter of Washington University because of the lack of tuition fee. Then she moved out of the family to work for the fee. 1990 (para.7-8) Priscilla enrolled at Washington University after reapplying. 1992 (para.9) Priscilla took a semester off to do a project in North Dakota. 1993 (para.10) Priscilla moved to California to work for her brother and studied at a local community college. 1994 (para.11) Priscilla graduated from Wenatchee Valley College with a Associate of Arts degree and enrolled again at Washington University. 1996 (para.12) She graduated from Washington University and was awarded BA.

9 Priscilla decided to pursue an archaeology major, and in the summer of 1992, she got her first opportunity to really test out her interest in the subject. The archaeological field school of Washington State University was sponsoring a summer research project at a site alongside the Snake River in Washington. Priscilla threw herself into the work, and the project supervisors were impressed. At the end of the summer, one of the professors offered her a job. “He said, ‘we just got a contract for a project in North Dakota. We want to hire you if you’re willing to take a semester off from school.’” The offer was a diversion from Priscilla’s pursuit of her BA. “But by then I no longer doubted that I would ultimately finish school, so I felt comfortable grabbing this opportunity,” she says.
Intensive Study
7 Priscilla reapplied to the University of Washington and was accepted. She qualified for financial aid because she had been independent from her parents for more than two years. As of the fall of 1990, Priscilla was finally a college student — working fulltime during the day as a secretary and going to school full-time at night.
Intensive Study
2 There was just one problem: The University of Washington didn’t have any grant money to give Priscilla. It offered her only a small loan and expected her family to come up with the rest. “My family was making enough money to get by, but not enough to pay that much for me to go to school,” she said.
