大学综合英语第二册基础英语2何兆熊课文14THE WEDDING STORYby Julianne HomokayCHARACTERSSTORYTELLER, a storyteller. A soothing presence. Male or female, doesn't matter, as long as hugs are inspired.BRIDE, the "perfect" bride.GROOM, the "perfect" groom.SCENEA land where grass is always green, the sun is always shining, and fences are always white picket.TIMEA sunny day in sunny June, the height of the perfect wedding season. In Vermont.[Lights up on the STORYTELLER reading from a leather-bound volume with gilded pages.] STORYTELL ER: (closing the volume) The End. Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite. What? You want to hear another one? But it’s a school night. Okay, okay, just this once. I’m such a pushover. What type of story shall we hear? (ad lib. if the audience yells out suggestions) How about a fairy tale for our times? A field of dreams fenced in by white picket, a story of the young man and woman we all hope to be someday? T oo bad, that’s what you’re getting.(The STORYTELLER opens the volume back up. Lights up on BRIDE and GROOM in traditional garb standing on top of a wedding cake.)Once upon a time there was a young woman, pretty as a day in June.(The BRIDE does the royal wave.)A young man stood by her side, smart as a whip and handsome as a polo horse.(The GROOM salutes.)They met in high school and fell in love on a merry day in May.(The BRIDE and GROOM whisper to each other.)Before long, the young man dropped to his knee, pulled a diamond from his pocket, and won the young woman’s hand in marriage.BRIDE: Uh, excuse us, Mr. Storyteller?(The STORYTELLER looks back at them, confused. The BRIDE and GROOM smile and wave. The STORYTELLER waves back.) STORYTELLER: Moving right along. With the blessings of their compatible—BRIDE: Mr. Storyteller!STORYTELLER: Excuse me a moment. (to BRIDE) Yes, what is it?BRIDE: We didn’t exactly meet in high school.STORYTELLER: Yes you did, it says so right here.BRIDE: We met in a bar.GROOM: And we dated on and off for five years while she experimented with foreigners. STORYTELLER: How nice. Well. For our purposes, let’s say you met in high school, shall we? (back to the kids) So. With the blessings of their compatible families, the young man and woman were to be Bride and Groom.BRIDE: (to GROOM) Wait a minute. As I recall, you kept breaking it off.GROOM: What?BRIDE: Yeah. Then you’d want me back the minute I had anew boyfriend.GROOM: You certainly didn’t waste any time running int o the arms of the first guy who had an accent.STORYTELLER: (to BRIDE and GROOM) Sssssh. Let’s don’t argue in front of the impressionable youngsters. (to children) The bride soon set in on the wedding preparations. BRIDE: (to GROOM) I never realized you were a racist.GROOM: I’m not, I was fine with the fact you’d slept with black men.BRIDE: You’re assuming that “racism” automatically refers to African-Americans. Isn’t that a form of racism itself?STORYTELLER: Excuse me, ma’am, sir, firmie those bouches so I can return to the story thank you.GROOM: By all means. Don’t let anything silly li ke our issues get in your way. STORYTELLER: Look, will you play along? The children will have ample opportunity to be disillusioned later, let’s just have a nice bedtim e story, okay? Okay. (to the children) AS I WAS SAYING, the preparations. They were to be married in a beautiful church—GROOM: (under his breath) Drive-thru chapel in Vegas.STORYTELLER: --followed by an elegant reception at an old inn in Vermont .BRIDE: (under her breath) Back room at the Star Dust Lounge.STORYTELLER: The bride put Martha Stewart to shame as she had the evening designed to the last detail—GROOM: (to BRIDE) Ha! That really sounds like you.STORYTELLER: --from the linen napkins to the centerpieces of purple freesia and Italian ruscus. BRIDE: (to GROOM) I think he was invite d to someone else’s wedding.GROOM: And why is he assuming the bride always has thetaste? Does it never occur to anyone that the groom might want to participate? I worked my way through law school as a floral designer, that’s how I know freesia is all wro ng for a centerpiece, except maybe as an accent flower. BRIDE: You were a floral designer?GROOM: You need to base your arrangement on a more substantial bloom, like a lily or an orchid. BRIDE: Brad, is there something you want to tell me?STORYTELLER: Actually, there is something I want to tell these youngsters so they can get to bed at a decent hour. THE STORY.BRIDE: Well huffy huff huff.STORYTELLER: SO, they had their flawless reception for 300 guests at a turn-of-the-century inn in Vermont —BRIDE: Yo u know, we’re not from Vermont . We’ve never even been to Vermont . STORYTELLER: --at which all had a delightful time.GROOM: (to BRIDE) What do you mean is there something I want to tell you? STORYTELLER: Immediately following the splendid reception—BRID E: I mean, is there something you haven’t been honest with me about? With yourself about? GROOM: Like what?STORYTELLER: The bride, at the tender age of 24—(The GROOM laughs out loud.)WHAT? WHAT’S SO FUNNY?GROOM: She’s not even close to 24.STORYTELLER: Now just wait a minute here, Buster Brown, whose story is this?BRIDE/GROOM: Ours.STORYTELLER: Wrong. This is a fairy tale, I’m going forprototypes.BRIDE: But I’m 35.STORYTELLER: In this story, you’re 24. The average American woman gets married at 24. BRIDE: How old’s that make him?STORYTELLER: 27. Why, how old is he really?GROOM: I’m the one that’s 24.STORYTELLER: Isn’t that a little young to be getting marr ied?BRIDE: How come 24’s okay for me but not for him?STORYTELLER: You’re the woman. You’re supposed to be younger.BRIDE: Jesus.STORYTELLER: Now, before I was interrupted for the umpteenth time, boys and girls, I was saying that after the reception, the 24-year-old bride was whisked away in a horse-drawn carriage by her 27-year-old Prince Charming.BRIDE: Whisked away where?STORYTELLER: I don’t know. To... the... airport.BRIDE: Which one?STORYTELLER: The Airport of... Vermont .BRIDE: There’s one in Burlington and one in Montpelier .GROOM: How did you know that?BRIDE: I majored in geography.GROOM: You did?BRIDE: (to STORYTELLER) So Mr. Fancy Pants, which one was it?STORYTELLER: The one where you caught your flight to Hawaii for your honeymoon. BRIDE: This whole fairy tale is completely out of hand. Anyone knows there’s no flights from Vermont to Hawaii . You have to fly through Logan or LAX. Orboth. And anyway, I highly doubt they’d let the horses in the terminal.STORYTELLER: Oh, for God’s sake,what’s the big deal in telling the children a nice little story? BRIDE: No one’s life turns out like that. How many of those kids will live up to your version of the story? None! They can’t, it’s too much pressure. It’s like why Catholic women are all mes sed up, you can’t be a virgin AND be a mother. And Brad, I probably shouldn’t have married yo u to begin with.GROOM: Shayna, how can you say that?BRIDE: You’re probably gay.GROOM: What?BRIDE: Oh c’mon, how many straight male floral designers do you know?GROOM: That’s what you thought I needed to be honest about?BRIDE: You didn’t even know I majored in Geography! Listen, if we’re talking averages here, most people don’t get married in Vermont . They get married in their one-horse hometowns that have WalMarts and bad zoning.STORYTELLER: What’s wrong with that?BRIDE: NOTHING. THAT’S MY POINT. M OST people do get married in their hometowns. MOST people cheat on their spouses or end up in counseling or sell everything they own to getinto a lousy nursing home. Put that in your fairy tale and smoke it.STORYTELLER: No one’s smoking anything. There a re children present.BRIDE: And God forbid we tell them what life is really like.GROOM: She’s got a point there. You’re opening yourself up for multiple class-action suits, Mister.STORYTELLER: Fine. I’ve had it. You want the truth, the whole truth, and n othing but the truth, the whole enchilada, the proverbial hook, line, and sinker? Well far be it from me to give these little souls something to which to aspire.BRIDE/GROOM: Do it! Do it! (ad lib.)STORYTELLER: I’m warning you, it won’t be pretty.BRIDE/GROOM: We stand warned.STORYTELLER: I’m such a pushover.(opens the volume back up)Once upon a time in a trailer park not so far away, there lived a woman approaching middle age who drank a lot of bourbon, smoked a pack a day, hung out in places where they throw peanut shells on the floor—BRIDE: All right already.STORYTELLER: --and a young, slightly effeminate man who took it up the ass once from a fellow Eagle Scout, but since it only happened once when he was 17 and drunk on Kahlua, he still considered himself straight.GROOM: Hey hey hey.STORYTELLER: The woman and the man met in a bar one night where they got drunk and slept together afterwards at her place. Since the woman felt guilty about the one-night stand, she felt she needed to make a legitimate relationship out of the encounter to justify the sex, even though she really prefers black men. To stay deep in the dark closet, the man proposed to the w oman, and since she’s 35 and, let’s face it, not getting any younger, she accepted his pathetic offe r because it was a real ego boost to have snagged a hot stud eleven years younger thanshe, even if he does have the occasional problem getting a stiffy wi th her because he’s really gay. Although the man offered to plan the entire wedding with his best friend Steve, the woman insisted they hire a horse-drawn carriage to drop them off at the Airport of Vermont, from which they took six connecting flights to Las Vegas to get married by an Elvis impersonator. To celebrate, they showed up at the Star Dust Lounge, at which they bought all the bar patrons cheeseballs and Budweiser. When they arrived back home in Weehawken, New Jersey, the Groom, unable to suppress his inner self for a moment longer, took up with a drag queen from SoHo, and the Bride, realizing she’d never be a mother, consoled herself with vodka and Xanax and died of a somewhat accidental overdose three years later. The Groom, now 27, took up wearing cowboy hats and chaps, and made the unfortunate mistake of traveling to Wyoming on business where he was dragged to his death behind a 4x4 by a bunch of homophobic rednecks. The drag queen wrote a show about the three of them in which he played all the parts, won a Genius Grant, and landed his own talk show on New York City cable access.(shuts book, exits)I bid you good night and sweet dreams, children. The End.BRIDE/GROOM: (ad lib., following the STORYTELLER off) Uh, Mr. Storyteller, wait, it’s okay, you can tell the other version, etc.(lights down.)。

Unit4 TEXT ⅠCultural Encounters Susan Bassnett1. In what language are you usually surfing at Internet websites?2. What fun do you find on Internet?We live in an age of easy access to the rest of the world. 我们生活在一个交流非常便捷的时代Cheap flights mean that millions of people are able to visit places their parents could only dream about, while the Internet enables us to communicate with the remotest places and the traditional postal services are now referred to almost mockingly as "snail mail." 便宜的机票使得我们可以到那些我们的家长只能幻想的地方去，而网络使得我们可以跟最遥远地方的人们进行交流。
在这种情况下，传统邮政现在被称为蜗牛邮件系统。
When students go off back-packing, they can email their parents from Internet cafes in the Himalayas or from a desert oasis. 当学生们在背包远足的时候，他们可以用E-MAIL从喜马拉雅的网吧或者从沙漠里的绿洲给他们的家长发邮件。
And as for mobile phones—the clicking of text messaging at any hour of the day or night has become familiar to us all. 不管是白天还是晚上，我们也能通过手机来发短信。

⼤学英语之基础英语综合教程第⼆册Unit2languagework Text IThe Virtues of Growing OlderCarol Siskin1Our society worships youth. Advertisements convince us to buy Grecian Formula and Oil of Olay so we can hide the gray in our hair.1Middle-aged folks work out in gyms and jog down the street, trying to delay the effects of aging.2Wouldn’t any person over thirty gladly sign with the devil just to be young again?2 Isn’t aging an experience to be dreaded? Perhaps it is un-American to say so, but I believe the answer is “No.” Being young is often pleasant, but being older has distinct advantages.3When young, you are apt to be obsessed with your appearance.3When my brother Dave and I were teens, we worked feverishly to perfect the bodies we had. Dave lifted weights, took megadoses of vitamins4, and drank a half-dozen milk shakes a day in order to turn his wiry adolescent frame into some muscular ideal. And as a teenager, I dieted constantly. No matter what I weighed, though, I was never satisfied with the way I looked.My legs were too heavy, my shoulders too broad, my waist too big. When Dave and I were young, we begged and pleaded for the “right” clothes. If our parents didn’t get them for us, we felt our world would fall apart.5 How could we go to school wearing loose-fitting blazers when everyone else would be wearing smartly tailored leather jackets? We would be considered freaks. I often wonder how my parents, and parents in general, manage to tolerate their children during the adolescent years. Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies. My rounded figure seems fine, and I don’t deny myself a slice of pecan pie if I feel in the mood. Dave still works out, but he has actually become fond of his tall, lanky frame. The two of us enjoy wearing fashionable clothes, but we are no longer slaves to style6. And women, I’m embarrassed to admit, even more than men, have always seemed to be at the mercy of fashion7. Now my clothes are attractive yet easy to wear. We no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as we feel good about how we look, we are happy.4Being older is preferable to being younger in another way. Obviously, I still have important choices to make about my life, but I have already made many of the critical decisions that confront those just starting out.8 I chose the man I wanted to marry. I decided to have children. I elected to return to college to complete my education. But when you are young, major decisions await you at every turn. “What college should I attend? What career should I pursue? Should I have children?”These are just a few of the issues facing young people. It’s no wonder that, despite their carefree fa?ade, they are often confused, uncertain, and troubled by all the unknowns in their future.5But the greatest benefit of being forty is knowing who I am. The most unsettling aspect of youth is the uncertainty you feel about your values, goals, and dreams. Being young means wondering what is worth working for. Being young means feeling happy with yourself one day and wishing you were never born the next. It means trying on new selves by taking up with different crowds.9 It means resenting your parents and their way of life one minute and then feeling you will never be as good or as accomplished as they are. By way of contrast, forty is sanity. I have a surer self-identity now. I don’t laugh at jokes I don’t think funny. I canmake a speech in front of a town meeting or complain in a store because I am no longer terrified that people will laugh at me;I am no longer anxious that everyone must like me. I no longer blame my parents for my every personality quirk or keep a running score of everything they did wrong raising me. Life has taught me that I, not they, am responsible for who I am. We are all human beings — neither saints nor devils.6Most Americans blindly accept the idea that newer is automatically better. But a human life contradicts this premise. There is a great deal of happiness to be found as we grow older.My own parents, now in their sixties, recently told me that they are happier now than they have ever been. They would not want to be my age. Did this surprise me? At first, yes. Then it gladdened me. Their contentment holds out great promise for me as I move into the next —perhaps even better—phase of my life.10Paragraphs 1-2Words and Expressions1. aging n. the process of becoming olde.g. The building has now been converted into a retirement home for the elderly.senior citizen a polite expression meaning old people2. dread vt. feel great fear or anxiety aboute.g. The little girl dreads sleeping alone.The staff in this company dread to think what will happen if the financial crisis comes. Derivation:dreadful a.Synonym:fear, frighten3. distinct a. noticeable, unmistakablee.g. The footprints are quite distinct; they must be fresh.Collocation:distinct from sth. different in kind; separatee.g. Mozart’s style is quite distinct from Haydn’s.Astronomy, as distinct from astrology, is an exact science.天⽂学是⼀门严谨的科学，与占星术完全不同。
