college,life,3篇一： book1 unit3 college life in the internet ageCollege life in the internet ageThe college campus, long a place of scholarship and frontiers of new technology,is being transformed into a new age of electronics by a fleet of laptops, smartphones and connectivity 24 hours a day.On a typical modern-day campus, where every building and most outdoor commonareas offer wireless internet access, one student takes her laptop everywhere.In class,she takes notes with it,sometimes instant-messaging or emailing friends if the professor is less than interesting.In her dorm, she instant-messages her roommate sitting just a few feet away. She is tied to her smartphone, which she even uses totext a friend who lives one floor above her, and which supplies music for walks between classes.Welcome to college life in the21st century,where students on campus are electronically linked to each other, to professors and to theirclasswork24/7 in an ever-flowing river of information and communication. With many schools offering wireless internet access anywhere on campus, colleges as a group have becomethe most internet-accessible spots in the world.Students say they really value their fingertip-access to the boundless amount of information online,and the ability to email professors at 2 a.m. and receive responses the next morning.“I always feel like I have a means of communication– in class and out of class,”says one engineering major.Many are using smartphones, not only to create their own dialectswhen texting,but also to do more serious work, such as practicing foreign languages and analyzing scripts from their theater classes.In a university class on the history of American radio,students usesmartphones to record their own radio shows. The course instructor said,“It’ s adding to students’ sense of excitement about the subject.”Professors have been encouraged to tape their lectures and post themonline.“Werealized there might be somepotential for a device that could get attention and encourage sophisticated thinking,” says one leading university director.For most undergraduates,non-stop internet connectivity is the fuel of college life.More than just toys,these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of virtually every kind of information.And as more people around the world adopt these instruments, they arebecoming indispensable.So students should use the wonders of the internet to do homework, review lecture outlines, take part in class discussionsand network online with their friends. But in doing so, students mustremember to regulate and balance their time.Too muchtime online can mean too little time in real-life studying or exercising or visiting withfriends. Students should not let the internet world on their computerscreens take them away from the real world outside.College began embracing internet access in the mid-1990s, when many began wiring dorms with high-speed connections. In the past few years,schools have taken the lead by turning their campuses into bubbles of Wi-Fi networks.In fact, a recent study in the US found that information technology accounted for5%to8%of c ollege budgets,up from an estimated 2% to 3% in the mid-1980s.On one campus, students use Wi-Fi to fire off instant messages, review their homeworkassignments,and check their bank balances.Just nine miles downthe highway, another university had been feeling a bit of a technology inferiority complex. To compensate,it spent tens of thousands of dollars to give every one of its incoming freshmen a free Apple iPad.Some universities even require that all students own or lease a laptop.Somesay the focus on technology prepares students for a wired world. “You have to keep up with the rest of the world.Students expect high-bandwidth information, and if you can’ t deliver it, you’ re at a competitive disadvantage, ” states a university president.Other colleges are straining to stand out from their peers.The race to attract students with the most modern networks and the hottest systems has reached fever pitch.Somebusiness majors are receiving free portable computers.In an always-connected mode, they can get information anytime and anywhere they need. One university is even giving its freshmen new smartphones to eich the student experience and prepare them for successin a rapidly changing world.For those who prefer to travel laptop-free,colleges supply several computer labs. And for students who study late into the night, many haveset up 24-hour repair shops where students can get their laptops fixedby the nest day and receive a loaner in the meantime.Colleges around the world have been replacing their computer systems for the pas decade, in large part to provide students with the mostadvanced free systems. The anywhere-anytime access has already yielded amazing benefits in education.With the widespread application lf computer technologies,we are going to produce a generation of problem-solvers and intelligent thinkers, which is indispensable for the future of the world.篇二： Unit 3 campus lifeUnit 3Campus lifeReading —— A Letter to a Friend(First Period)Teaching aims（教课目的）：Knowledge aims：The students are able to learn the key words and useful Expressions: feel /nervous/ friendly/ sometimes/ send/ practice/ get to/at first / in class /show concern about/ with the help of / go well /on weekends go sightseeing / get along / have a good time .Ability aims：The students are able to learn some reading strategies and learn howto write letters.Emotion aims ： The students are able to realize the importance of friendship andlearn to share their happiness and unhappiness with theirfriends.Teaching key points（教课重点）:1.The key words and useful expressions in the text.2.To analyze the whole text and try to get the main idea of the text.Teaching difficult points(教课难点):1.To use the key words and useful expressions.2.

The computer asks the learner for more information and presents appropriate material based on the learner’s input. The material can be as simple as traditional lessons and tests that are transcribed into a computer program. The material can also be a complex system that tracks users’ input and suggests learning material as a result. Or the material can be a work session that occurs through a real time chat; learning occurs through the interaction. The material can be presented as text, graphics, animated graphics, audio, video, or a combination of these that are displayed in wed browsers or other multimedia players such as Windows Media Player.2.

现代大学英语精读1第三单元课文读后感
现代大学英语精读1第三单元课文读后感全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Reading Reflections on Unit 3Wow, Unit 3 was really interesting! I learned a lot of cool new words and ideas. At first some of the readings seemed a little hard, but once I paid close attention, I could understand most of it. Let me tell you about some of the things I found most fascinating!The first reading was called "The Blind Men and the Elephant" and it was a super funny story from India. It was about these blind men who had never seen an elephant before. Each one touched a different part like the trunk, tusk or tail, and they all thought the elephant was a totally different thing based on what little bit they felt! They got into a big argument about it until someone who could see the whole elephant set them straight. I thought it was hilarious how stubborn they were about their wrong ideas. The moral was that you have to look at the whole picture and not just make assumptions based on a small part. That's really good advice!After that amusing little tale, we read a longer piece called "Two Ways to Belong in America." It talked about different ways that immigrants adapt to living in a new country. Some try to fully assimilate and blend into the mainstream culture, while others want to maintain their ethnic identity and traditions from their homeland. The author made a good point that there's no single right way, and immigrants can pick and choose what works best for them.篇2My Reading Response for Unit 3Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 10 years old. I love reading and my favorite subject in school is English class. We just finished reading Unit 3 in our Contemporary College English Reading 1 book and I wanted to share my thoughts about it.This unit was all about different cultures and traditions around the world. I found it really fascinating to learn about how people live in other countries. The first reading was called "Living with Traditions" and it talked about some unique traditions in places like Bhutan, Indonesia, and Peru.In Bhutan, they have this really cool tradition called Tsechu where they do mask dances and dress up in bright costumes. Thedances tell stories from Buddhism and folklore. I would love to see one of those festivals in person someday! The article said the dances can last all day and night. That sounds like a lot of fun but also very tiring.The part about Indonesia talked about these little puppet shows called Wayang Kulit. The puppets are made out of buffalo hide and they put on performances telling epic stories and legends. I collect puppets at home so I thought that was really neat. Maybe I could try making my own shadow puppets!Then we learned about this village in Peru called Taquile where everyone has to wear the same traditional clothing with bright colors and patterns. The men actually spend years knitting their clothes! I can barely knit a scarf so I can't even imagine knitting an entire outfit. The island sounded beautiful though with its rolling hills and views of Lake Titicaca.The second reading was called "Cultural Adaption" and it was about different cultures adapting and changing over time. It talked about how people's values, beliefs, and ways of living get influenced when they move to new places or get exposed to other cultures.One example they gave was about young people in Bali, Indonesia starting to adopt more Western-style clothes, music,and hobbies. Their grandparents' generation would have all dressed traditionally and participated in long-standing Balinese customs. But the article said the younger people were blending the old and new in their lifestyle.It made me think about some of the cultural traditions in my own family. My grandparents emigrated here from Mexico, so we celebrate Mexican holidays like Dia De Los Muertos and make traditional foods. But my parents and I were born in this country, so we also do things like Halloween and Thanksgiving that aren't Mexican traditions. I think it's cool to have a mixed cultural identity.The last big reading was "To Conserve a Culture" which talked about the importance of preserving cultures and making sure traditions don't disappear. It used examples like efforts to revive the Welsh language in Wales and keep the Ainu culture alive in Japan.In Wales, the government is funding more Welsh language education and media so that people don't lose that part of their heritage. Only around 20% of people in Wales speak Welsh fluently now. The article said if a language dies out, you lose a whole way of understanding and expressing the world.The part about the Ainu people in Japan was really sad. Their ancestral lands and ways of life were almost completely destroyed when settlers from the mainland came. Now there are museums and cultural centers trying to educate people about the Ainu traditions of wood carving, oral storytelling, and living in harmony with nature.After reading this unit, I have a new appreciation for all the diverse cultures around the world. It made me want to learn about and experience more cultural traditions beyond my own little part of the world. Preserving these unique ways of life is so important for keeping humanity's rich heritage alive.I hope I can take a trip someday to see things like the Tsechu festival in Bhutan or a Wayang puppet show in Indonesia. For now, I'll have to be content learning about other cultures through my reading. Thank you Contemporary College English Reading 1 for opening my eyes to all these amazing cultural traditions! I can't wait to read the next unit.篇3My Thoughts on the Stories in Unit 3Hi everyone! I'm going to tell you about the cool stories we read in our English textbook recently. Unit 3 had three longer readings that were pretty interesting.The first one was called "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell. It was kind of a scary story about a hunter named Sanger Rainsford who fell off a boat and ended up on this crazy island owned by another hunter named General Zaroff. Zaroff was totally nuts - he got bored of just hunting animals so he started hunting humans instead! He would trap people on the island and then hunt them like animals for his entertainment. How messed up is that?Rainsford thought Zaroff was insane when he learned about the human hunting game. But Zaroff insisted it was a super good sport because the humans had a chance to try and outwit him and escape if they were clever enough. Of course, Rainsford ended up being hunted himself after arguing with the general. He had to use all his outdoors skills and wits to try and survive in the island jungle while Zaroff was stalking him.There was this really intense part where Rainsford made a bunch of traps for Zaroff using his knife and stuff he found in the jungle. Zaroff kept narrowly avoiding them though because he was such an experienced hunter. In the end, Rainsford turned thetables by jumping Zaroff when he wasn't expecting it and tying him up instead! I won't ruin how it finishes but it's a pretty wild and unpredictable story.The next reading was a pretty famous short story called "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. This one was weird - it took place in a small village that had this crazy tradition of doing a lottery drawing once a year. At first it seemed like it would be something fun, but then you slowly realize that the "winner" of the lottery actually gets stoned to death by the rest of the villagers! How disturbing is that?The story describes the whole ritual and buildup to the lottery in lots of detail, making it seem like just a normal part of life for the villagers. But the more you read, the more you think "Wait, why are they doing this?" Nobody questions it though, they just keep doing it because it's always been that way. At the end when you find out they're going to brutally kill the "winner" with rocks, it's really shocking.I felt bad for the poor woman who got picked because she just seemed like a normal wife and mom. You don't really find out much about why the villagers do the lottery or where the tradition came from originally. I think that's what makes it so creepy and confusing. The story makes you wonder about howpeople can just go along with customs or rituals without questioning if they're ethical or not. Definitely gave me the chills!The last big story in the unit was "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe. I've read some other creepy tales by Poe before, and this one was no exception! It's a classic story of revenge and being "immured" (which I learned means being locked up inside a wall or something to die).The narrator is this guy named Montresor who has a major grudge against another nobleman named Fortunato. Montresor decides he's going to get back at Fortunato by luring him into the catacombs beneath his palace during a festival and then chaining him up and burying him alive inside the catacomb walls! So messed up.Montresor comes up with an elaborate trick, pretending he has a rare cask of amontillado sherry that he wants Fortunato's expert opinion on so he can lure him into the catacombs. Fortunato is such a wine snob that he can't resist. Once they're deep inside the catacombs, Montresor gets Fortunato drunk on the amontillado, chains him to the granite wall, and then uses stone and mortar to seal him up alive! You can hear Fortunato's screams and jingling of chains as Montresor is immuring him, which gives me the creeps just thinking about it.At the end, after Montresor has finished closing up the last stone over the little vault, he says something like "For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them." That means he left Fortunato entombed in there all alone for 50 years until he died! Why was Montresor so unforgivably angry at Fortunato that he would do something so evil like that? The story never really says, which makes it even creepier. Poe was definitely a master of dark, disturbing tales.Well, those were the three main readings from Unit 3. They were all suspenseful and spooky stories about revenge, human evil, weird traditions, and stuff like that. I have to admit, some parts did give me the chills or make me feel uneasy! But I like reading different genres as long as the stories are well-written and make you think a little. These classics definitely accomplished that. I'm curious what you all thought of them too!篇4A Really Amazing Story About the Past!Wow, Unit 3 of our English reading book was so cool! It was all about history and learning from the past. I didn't think I would like reading about old stuff that happened a long time ago, but the stories were actually really interesting.The first story was about this famous philosopher named Socrates who lived in ancient Greece. He didn't write any books himself, but his student Plato wrote down everything Socrates said and did. Socrates was always asking people questions to get them to think deeper about things. He didn't just tell people the answers, but made them figure it out themselves.One time, Socrates met this man who thought he was really smart. But when Socrates started asking him questions, the man realized he didn't know as much as he thought! That must have been embarrassing. Socrates showed that just because someone acts like they know everything, doesn't mean they actually do. I don't want to be like that guy - I want to stay humble and keep learning.The story said Socrates got in big trouble for making people question things too much. The leaders in Athens actually made him drink poison! That's so messed up. Socrates didn't do anything wrong, he just wanted people to think critically. If you ask me, the Athenian leaders were the ones in the wrong for executing someone over philosophical ideas. It makes me really appreciate how in modern times, we have freedom of speech and thought.After the story about Socrates, we read about this other philosopher from ancient China named Confucius. He lived around the same time as Socrates, but on the total opposite side of the world! It's crazy to think that two of the most influential thinkers in human history were alive at basically the same time without even knowing about each other.Confucius had some interesting ideas too. He believed that every person had certain roles and duties based on their identities and relationships. Like children were supposed to obey their parents, wives had to obey their husbands, and everyone had to obey the emperor. I don't fully agree with that - it seems kind of sexist and like it gives too much power to authorities. But I can respect Confucius' idea that we all have responsibilities to the people in our lives.Probably my favorite part about Confucius was his philosophy about rituals and traditions. He said following proper rituals wasn't just meaningless routine, but helped create a harmonious society. Having customs and routines brings people together. I can totally see what he means! Like in my family, we have traditions around holidays and special occasions that make me feel connected to my parents, grandparents, and ancestors. Doing certain rituals reminds me of my roots and culturalheritage. Confucius was really wise about realizing how important traditions are for a culture.The third story in the unit was about the ancient Greek historian Herodotus, known as the "Father of History." He literally invented the entire study of history as we know it! Before Herodotus, people just told made-up stories and myths to explain the past. But Herodotus traveled all around collecting evidence, interviewing people, and trying to record accurate accounts of real events and civilizations. That's exactly what historians still do today when learning about history.I thought it was really cool how curious and adventurous Herodotus was. He went on all these crazy journeys just to learn more about different cultures. Can you imagine traveling across Greece, Egypt, Persia and more back in those times? It must have been incredibly dangerous, but his desire to understand the world drove him to take those risks. Herodotus taught me that if you want to learn, you have to be bold and maybe get out of your comfort zone.My biggest takeaway from reading about Herodotus was why learning history even matters. The passage said he believed understanding the past could help people make sense of the present and future. That's a really deep point! If we know how wegot to where we are today, it lets us understand our current situation and reality so much better. And if we understand our current reality, we can make better decisions for the future. History is kind of like a guide that gives us wisdom to navigate life.Overall, Unit 3 was packed with insight from brilliant ancient thinkers. Reading about the origins of philosophy, the importance of cultural traditions, and the birth of the study of history was a fun way to learn some valuable life lessons from over 2,000 years ago! These ideas might be ancient, but they can still apply to our modern lives. I'm really glad we got to explore how civilizations like Greece and China have shaped how we think about and understand the world today. I'll definitely try to be more like Socrates, Confucius, and Herodotus by keeping an open mind, respecting my heritage, and always being curious to learn more about the past and present. What an amazing unit!篇5My Thoughts on the Readings in Unit 3Wow, Unit 3 was super interesting! There were so many cool stories and articles that really got me thinking. Let me tell you all about what I learned.The first story was called "The Night Face Up" by JulioCortázar. It was kind of spooky at first with the guy traveling alone on the motorcycle in the middle of nowhere. I was on the edge of my seat when he fell asleep and then woke up unable to move! That would be so scary. I liked how the story showed his thoughts going back and forth between being brave and panicking. When the truck drivers found him in the morning, I was relieved he was okay. I think the main lesson is that you shouldn't let your fears take over, even in really difficult situations. Just stay calm and things will work out.Next was a article about night birds like owls and nighthawks.I thought it was fascinating how their eyes are so big to see better at night. And how many of them hunt mice and other little critters when we're all asleep! My favorite was learning about the nightjar bird. How cool is it that they hiccup instead of making other noises? I'll have to listen carefully next time I'm outside at night to see if I can hear them. Nature is just so amazing.The poem "Daddy Fell Into the Pond" by Alfred Noyes was hilarious! I could totally picture the little kids watching their clumsy dad fall into the water over and over again. The rhymes and flow of the words made it fun to read out loud. It reminded me of silly times with my own dad being a goofball. The partabout the nurse laughing at the end was an unexpected twist. I love how the poem captures that mix of a kid's perspective shifting between thinking something is terrible one minute, then laughing about it the next. That's so true to life!I have to admit, I had a hard time understanding the deeper meanings in the story "The Oval Portrait" at first. All theold-fashioned language about the painter's "passionate" work on his art felt a bit over my head. But I think I get the main idea - that he got SO obsessed with painting the perfect portrait of his wife, he kind of forgot about taking care of her as a person. By the time it was finished, she had literally died from being ignored so much! It's an extreme example, but it reminded me how my parents are always telling me not to get too wrapped up in video games and to nurture real relationships too. I definitely don't want my future spouse turning into a creepy painting!The next few chapters were all about stars, planets, and astronomy stuff. I'm basically a space expert now after learning about all the cool phenomena out there like pulsars, quasars, and black holes. My mind was completely blown by the fact that there could be entire other universes out there beyond our own! That's something I'll probably spend a lot of time daydreaming about. The histories of how we discovered and learned aboutouter space across different cultures was super interesting too. I didn't realize how much ancient peoples like the Chinese, Arabs, and Greeks knew about the heavens just from looking up at the night sky.I have to say, my favorite reading of the whole unit was David Sedaris' essay called "Dress Rehearsal." He's hilarious! I loved his sarcastic sense of humor as he described the goth couple Lisa and Seth preparing their Halloween costumes. Some of the details like Lisa braiding her armpit hair and putting eggs under her armpits had me cracking up. But he also made some deeper points about how sometimes young people do weird things just to rebel and define their identity. By the end when they almost got arrested, I realized they had gone a bit too far with their costumes and makeup. It was just such a cleverly written story that caught my attention the whole way through.Overall, Unit 3 really opened my eyes to so many fascinating areas of life, literature, science, and culture. The readings prompted me to think about big philosophical questions as well as appreciate the humor and beauty found in everyday moments. I'm already excited to see what thought-provoking works are coming up next!篇6My Reading Response for Unit 3Hi everyone! I'm going to share my thoughts about the readings we did in Unit 3 of our textbook Contemporary College English 1. The unit was all about environmental issues and I learned so much cool stuff!The first reading was called "The Environmental Movement" and it talked about how people started caring more about protecting the environment in the 1960s and 1970s. Before that, most people didn't really think about pollution or saving animals and forests. But then some brave people spoke up and made others realize we need to take better care of the earth.My favorite part was learning about some of the pioneers of the environmental movement, like Rachel Carson. She wrote a famous book called Silent Spring that warned everyone about the dangers of pesticides killing birds and other wildlife. After people read her book, they finally understood that humans were messing up nature with chemicals and trash. The reading said Carson's work kicked off a "green wave" of environmental activism across America and other countries too.Another really neat person I read about was Greenpeace founder Bob Hunter. He and his friends protested nuclear weapons testing by sailing right into the test zone in an oldfishing boat! That was super brave of them. Thanks to Greenpeace, a lot of people learned how nuclear bombs could spread radiation that's bad for every living creature. Greenpeace also brought attention to whaling and deforestation issues.It's amazing how regular people like Carson and Hunter were able to start such huge movements just by speaking out about important causes they cared about. The reading inspired me to want to be an environmental activist when I grow up too! We all need to do our part to reduce pollution, protect ecosystems, and take climate change seriously before it's too late.The next reading was called "The Environmental Footprint" and it explained how scientists can measure the impact humans have on the planet. I thought the concept of an "ecological footprint" was really interesting. It calculates the amount of productive land and water areas needed to supply all the resources a person or country consumes. The bigger your footprint, the more you're damaging the environment.For example, the footprint of someone living in America or another rich nation is way bigger than the footprint of people in developing countries. That's because we use and waste way more energy, food, and goods made from natural resources liketrees, oil, and minerals. We're lucky to have lots of TVs, toys, clothes, and other neat products but making all that stuff takes a major toll on the earth.The reading also broke down the different components of an ecological footprint, like the cropland footprint which measures the farm area needed to grow a person's food and cotton for clothing. There's also the carbon footprint that shows how much greenhouse gas pollution is being created by using fossil fuels for heating, transportation, and manufacturing. I never knew there were so many ways to calculate our environmental impact! From now on, I'm going to be way more conscious of my water, energy, and waste footprints at home.The last reading was all about simple lifestyle changes people can make to "go green" and live more eco-friendly lives. I really liked this one because it gave realistic tips that kids like me could follow too. Some of the easiest things are things I'm already doing like turning off lights, taking shorter showers, recycling, and refusing to litter. The reading reminded me to pack litterless lunches using reusable containers instead of plastic baggies and bottles.But I also learned about some new "green" habits I want to start like eating less meat since farm animals require lots of land,water and crop feeds. It said cutting out meat for even one day per week makes a big difference. I'm going to try out the "Meatless Mondays" idea! The reading also suggested buying more secondhand clothes and donating old toys and books instead of throwing them out. Reusing and recycling as much as possible is definitely one of the best ways to reduce waste.My favorite new eco-tip was about "precycling" which means being mindful of garbage before you create it. So like, use both sides of a piece of paper, avoid buying items with excessive packaging, and invest in durable, long-lasting products instead of disposable junk. Precycling is such a smart way to cut down on unnecessary waste from the start!Overall, I'm really grateful we studied this unit on the environment because it opened my eyes to so many important issues facing our beautiful planet. I feel inspired to make more of an effort to conserve resources, lower my carbon footprint, protect wildlife habitats, and stand up for environmental justice. Climate change is going to be one of the biggest challenges my generation faces, but I'm hopeful we can find solutions if everyone does their part, even through small actions. Thanks for reading my thoughts, and let's all be eco-warriors together!。

Script for the recording:
This unit begins with an article on science. Before you read it, let me tell you something about its author, Stephen Hawking. Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the “theory of everything”. Among other things, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.

Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, “although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for.”

But it is not simply the power of Hawking’s mind that led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and to speak normally. Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him.

Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another great scientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech. “The only trouble,” the English scientist says, “is that it gives me an American accent.”
