Unit 8 绝妙的工具辛西娅·格雷巴如果没有望远镜,伽利略会有什么发现?如果没有杠杆,阿基米德能有什么成就?拥有合适的工具至关重要。
有时候,它们会在意想不到的领域被发现。
有时候,它们则就在你的眼皮底下。
1.你是否有过需要从高架子上取东西的经历?如果没有梯子,你或许会使用一把椅子。
当然(正如母亲曾告诉过你的)椅子是用来坐的,但是其平坦而高起的座位也很适合站在上面,这样你就够得着书架了。
2.科学家们有时候面临同样的问题,在回答或解决问题时没有合适的工具。
有时候,他们发明新的工具;有时候,他们则对已有的工具进行改造,以适应新的用途。
3.为了证明闪电其实就是电流,本·富兰克林在风筝上拴了一把钥匙,然后放飞到暴风雨中。
他的实验工具是由一个玩具和他家前门的一把钥匙制成的。
但是他从另一个角度看到:风筝可以把一根线带到暴风雨中,钥匙则是小小的导电体,上面还有一个洞,可以很方便地拴到风筝上。
一件新工具就这样诞生了!4.看一看其他领域的科学家如何使用他们绝妙的工具给人启示,一个问题可以从新的角度去看待。
展现历史5.在西班牙境内的罗马古城伊埃索遗址工作的考古学家在靠近城墙的底层发现了一个由黏土制成的酒坛(称为“双耳细颈椭圆土罐”)。
他们认为,建造这座城市的罗马人很可能也把葡萄酒从罗马带了过来。
6.只要科学家们能发现酒坛的年代,也就能推算出这座城市的历史。
当时的酿酒人往往会在酒坛上刻上酿酒当年的罗马执政官的名字。
同时,我们也掌握着每一对罗马执政官执政时间的可靠记录。
7.在这只酒坛的颈部有几个模糊不清的颜料印记,科学家们只辨认出了第一个名字的首字母Q.FAB,于是他们想到了“昆特斯·费比斯”这个名字,但是有两位在不同年代统治罗马的执政官都叫这个名字,因此,科学家需要找到与Q.FAB共同统治的另一位执行官的名字来确定这座城市的年代。
由于时代久远,再加上日晒雨淋,颜料已经剥落,第二个名字完全消失了。

∙围羣∙鷲噯520∙初级粉丝13楼一天,教会的牧师来到路易家,告诉他的父母, 巴黎有一所盲童学校。
路易的父母决定把他送到那所学校去,当时他是9岁。
路易渴望读书。
学校里只有14本供盲人阅读的书。
这些书又大又重。
书中的字母很大而且是凸起的。
读一本书要花很长时间。
路易心想,肯定有一种更好的阅读方法。
路易12岁时,一位法国军官查尔斯?巴比埃来到了学校。
巴比埃研制出一种供军队士兵使用的字母电码。
这种电码被用来在夜间向士兵发送信息。
它由点和划组成。
即使敌人看到信息,电码也能使它们保密。
但这种电码对盲人来说太复杂了。
路易认为这种电码使用起来太慢,而那些划也太占地方。
一页纸只容得下一两句句子。
在以后的三年中,路易一直在做着简化电码的工作。
在家中度假的一天,15岁的路易捡起了一把钝锥子。
啊哈!他突然想到了一个主意。
他只用6个点就做出了字母表。
他用不同的凸点代表不同的字母。
后来,他又为数字和音乐编制了一个体系。
今天,布莱叶盲字已用于全世界几乎每一种语言。
路易?布莱叶在15岁时创造了六圆点布莱叶体系从而改变了盲人的生活。
把布莱叶的生日1月4日定为向盲人表示敬意的布莱叶日是非常恰当的。

On my vacation in the country, I took pictures of some beautiful buildings, such as this public school and the small church next to it.5. The desire to create is very important. If we only imitate others, we can hardly develop anything new.6. The message had spread among the soldiers before it was delivered to the officers.不要吃番茄,它们有毒!迈克尔?威廉斯最早的番茄是几千年前印第安人在秘鲁和厄瓜多尔发现的野生番茄。

新21世纪大学英语2课文翻译Unit 2 立刻行动——推动你的职业生涯格蕾丝·西罗克欧学习如何推动你的职业生涯,学会把职业变化的思考落实到行动。
《跨出一步:成功就在你眼前》一书的作者格蕾丝·西罗克欧就如何反思你的生活和职业生涯以及赋予它们新的活力提出了忠告。
1.人人都羡慕那些能够立刻行动的人。
这也就是为何耐克广告如此成功的原因——它们与人们的思想产生了共鸣。
我们中的许多人会不时地抱怨有被“绊住脚”的感觉。
我们会说自己还没有准备好,会说我们需要做更多的研究,需要再拿一个学位,或者需要获得更多的经验。
我们责怪父母、自己和劳动力市场。
我们对自己还没有做的所有事情,就是迟迟不采取行动。
我们何时才能准备好立刻行动呢?2.当我住在加利福尼亚州的圣地亚哥时,我制作了一档从下午3点直播到6点的广播节目。
我总是早早地去到电台,开始为节目主要话题搜寻合适的题材。
我总是在搜寻圈内所说的“好电台”——即那些能打动心灵又给日常生活增添价值的人和故事。
追求节目的完美总是无止境的,总还会有一个电话需要我去打或一条线索需要我去寻找。
但是,每天下午3点,我必须立刻开始节目。
不能做更多的准备,也无法推迟节目的播出。
表演时间到了,我得立刻行动。
3.如果我们的生活如此进行——每天或每周的某个时间,我们的“制片人”走进来说:“好了,表演时间到了,立刻行动!”——这难道不精彩吗?如果你被迫立刻行动了,你今天的生活会有什么不同?你一直在拖延什么呢?4知识也许是力量,但大脑中处于休眠状态的知识不会把你的生活向前推进。
只有将知识付诸实践, 它才会改变生活。
5.重要的第一步是正视恐惧,确认恐惧,感觉恐惧,并忍受恐惧。
领导们的秘诀是这样的:恐惧确实让人不舒服,但它不一定能阻止你行动。
你的目的不是要把它挤出身体(大多数人都尝试这么做)或等待它彻底消失后才采取行动(你将要等待很长时间)。
相反,要在感觉恐惧的同时采取行动。
成功人士就是这么做的。
21世纪大学英语读写译第一次U1~U5译文
Unit 1 Text A College:How to Survive the First Y ear对于许多即将迈入大学校门的学生而言,大学生活似乎令人恐惧。
有些学生对远离家乡感到忧虑不安,有些对高昂的学费一筹莫展,多数则担心自己不能很好地完成学业。
以下十个小忠告不仅能帮助你顺利地度过大学第一年,或任何一年,而且能使你茁壮成长。
第一,参加所有的入学教育的活动。
是的,没错——的确有必要参加所有的入学教育的活动。
你对学校的规章制度越是熟悉,你的表现就会越发出色。
有了对校园生活方方面面的彻底了解——或者至少是那些从活动中所能搜集到的诸多信息的了解,那么,当层出不穷的问题出现时,你便能从容应对。
第二,要有条不紊。
上中学时,老师会引领学生完成作业,告知他们何时该交出作业。
然而,上了大学,教授布置作业,便期望你如期做好准备。
他们没有太多耐心倾听那些“我不知何时该交作业”之类的辩解。
因此,做你该做的——诸如买一个电子记事本,计划制订本,或者一个大大的挂在墙上的日历——无论如何,要做到有条不紊。
第三,有规律地学习。
貌似简单,可是,这是成功必不可少的组成部分。
除了有规律地学习之外,你还应当找一个理想的学习场所,无论是图书馆还是寝室里一个安静的角落,适合即可。
与其他很多事情一样,说到学习时间,质量胜于数量。
第四,准时上课。
迟到,或者不去上课的后果是什么?落后于其他学生,不能完成作业,遗漏课堂笔记,并且常常给教授留下“我不在乎”的印象。
通常,逃掉大清早的课睡个懒觉,或者干脆逃掉所有的课很具诱惑力——务必抵制住这种诱惑。
准时上所有的课,使之成为头等大事。
以后,你的成绩会感激你的所为。
第五,在适当的时候,约见教授。
约见教授不仅是为了问有关作业的问题,而且也是为了了解他们。
记住,与教授保持良好的个人关系益处多多,尤其是当你在学期中遇到一些意想不到的障碍时。
教授安排办公时间,其唯一目的就是与学生会面——利用好那段时间。
第六,结识你的学业顾问。
21世纪大学英语读写教程1-6单元Reading Aloud及句子翻译
Unit1Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field .At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Laverty, the celebrated painter who lived nearby."'Painting!’ she declared.’ What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush-the big one.’ she plunged into the paints and before I knew it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I restituted no more. Seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since." 1.When his wife died of a stroke in her sixties, the 72-year-old retired professor was overwhelmed by grief .Life would be too difficult for him without anybody to rely on.2.Last month two amateur painters held an exhibition of their pictures inLondon .Many people went to see it, including a few celebrated professors.3.when seven astronauts died in the challenger disaster in the mid-1980s,it plunged the whole world into shock and grief.4.After completing her second prime ministry, she remained actively involved in political affairs. She came to the rescue several times when the government was in difficulty.5.After completing her second prime ministry, she remained actively involved in political affair. she came to the rescue several times when the government was in difficulty.6.As long as you keep working hard all your life, you will recall your past with a glow of satisfaction.7.We must awaken people to the importance of environment protection now, or it will soon be too late.8. That official was removed from office of being involved in a political scandal. Had he known this would happen, he might have acted differently.Unit2This belief in hard work is the first of three main factors contributing to Asian students' outstanding performance. It springs from Asians' common heritage ofConfucianism, the philosophy of the 5th-century-BC Chinese sage teachings have had a profound influence on Chinese society. One of Confucius’s primary teachings is that through effort, people can perfect themselves.Confucianism provides another important ingredient in the Asians’ success as well. In Confucian philosophy, the family plays a central role--an orientation that leads people to work for the honor of the family, not just for themselves. One can never replay one's parents, and there's sense of obligation or even guilt that is as strong a force among Asians as Protestant philosophy is among those in the West1.Female students constitute the majority of our class. By contrast, their class is made up of males only.2.American children can usually watch TV three hours a day, whereas their Chinese counterparts have to work on their homework during most their after-school time.3.His development of a series of new research methods led to his huge success. He said he owed all this to his parents’ encouragement.4.He resented being excluded from discussions that directly concerned his future. 5.The fact that these problems are continually showing up suggests that this new device has to be readjusted.6.As one of the many Asian students who have surged into the best American universities in recent years, Zhang Hua says that many of his ideas are based on traditional Chinese philosophy.7.To start with, it is not merely money that makes Mr. Young work so hard. He is committed to educating the young and tires to motivate them to get ahead in life. 8.As time was running out, we drove even faster in the hope that we could make it to the airport in time.Unit3The first cultural translator I ever met was an installation engineer, George by name, who worked for an American company where I was the director of international operations. The company had just started a joint venture with a Japanese firm, and the American management needed someone to train the Japanese employees in its unique technology. George's solid understanding of the equipment, its installation and use made him the best-qualified employee for the job ,so everyone was happy when George accepted a two-year contract for temporary transfer to Japan.Form the start, George was well accepted by all the Japanese employees. Japanese managers often distrust anyone sent to represent US owners, but George was so naturally nonassertive that no one could see him as a threat to their careers. So they felt comfortable asking his advice on a wide range of matters, including the odd behavior of their partners across the ocean. Engineers throughout the company appreciated George's expertise and his friendly and capable help, and they got into habit of turning to him whenever they had a problem-any problem. And the secretaries in the office were eager to help this nice bachelor learn Japanese.1When this temporary job came to an end, George was offered a permanent job, which he accepted at once.2.To ensure that their ventures in Japan are profitable, the American companies need cultural translators even more than language translators.3.As a cultural translator, George was eager to help the Japanese employees who came to ask his advice on a great many matters, both within and outside of his field of expertise.4.Somehow or other, George persuaded the American manager to go along with the Japanese accountant’s decision, thus smoothing over the conflict between the two.5.Conflicts and arguments do arise at times between the American managers and their Japanese counterparts. But since both parties have the good sense to compromise, these conflicts are prevented from escalating into big emotional battles.6.All the Japanese employees, the personnel manager included, appreciated George’s frequent help with the multitude of problems they run into.7.My spoken Japanese is not good enough to express myself well. Please don’t get offended if I sometimes say stupid things.8.with a solid understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and a good mastery of English, dr. Zhang is highly qualified to train foreign doctors who came to China to study Chinese medicine.Unit4Failure is never pleasant. It hurts adults and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask,” Why did I fail?” Resist the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring.Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior ,is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second .Even a failure that seems total can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction.1.Protecting children from the knowledge that they have failed is anything but beneficial to their growth and development.2.Emerson does not think there is a world of difference between success and failure.3.A mature person is one who is good at turning failure into success.4.She was so obsessed with becoming a success in ice skating that she never prepared herself for challenges of the real world.5.He suffered a complete nervous breakdown when he learned that his company had gone bankrupt.6.When talking about his success, Mr. Smith is very prone to exaggeration.7.The company started by selling radios but now has branched out into selling computers as well.8.In fact, failure is nothing to be afraid of. Once we learn how to use it, it can make a positive contribution to our growth and development.Unit5Balancing 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.Priscilla decided to pursue an archaeology major, and in the summer of 1992,she got her fist opportunity to really test out her interest in the subject. The archaeological filed 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 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.1.The university offered Priscilla only a small loan and she had to come up with the rest of the money herself.2.With small income from her restaurant job, marry could barely make (both) ends meet. That’s why she found some cleaning work to do in the apartment building where she lived.3.During her first semesters, she often stayed up late studying because she knew she had to get the highest GPA in her class to qualify the scholarship.4.Anyone who wants to find employment in/ with that company must have at least a master’s degree; if not a Ph. D. otherwise he or she will not be accepted.5.Only if you completely throw yourself into your studies will you ultimately achieve your long-term goal of becoming an archaeologist.6.In the office Beth always looked happy and had a ready smile. But deep down, she was tired of being a secretary. She wanted to do something more creative.7.A migrant farm laborer from Mexico, my father was overjoyed when I was accepted by the University of Washington and became the first person in my family to attend college.8.When Priscilla looked back on her years of hard struggle, she said that it was no easy job to balance work and study.Unit6He had been proclaimed” the finest mind alive”,” the greatest genius of the l ate20th century”, and "Einstein's heir ".Known to millions, far and wide, for his book A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking is a star scientist in more ways than one. His gift for revealing the mysteries of the universe in a style that non-scientists can enjoy made Hawking an instant celebrity and his book a bestseller in both Britain and America.

Unit one 助人者得助1.18岁那年,我离开了在纽约布鲁克林的家,前往英国约克郡的利兹大学学习历史。
那是我人生中一段令人兴奋但又压力重重的日子,因为就在我试图适应陌生环境的同时,我仍沉浸在父亲去世的悲哀之中。
2.有一天,我正在市场上琢磨着哪束花最能扮靓我的宿舍,突然瞥见一位老先生又要拄拐杖又要拿一袋苹果,顾不过来。
我连忙跑过去帮他拿苹果,好让他重新站稳。
3.“姑娘,谢谢你!”他用好听的约克郡口音说道。
“这下我没问题了,”他说。
不仅仅是他的嘴,就连他那双跳动着的明亮的蓝眼睛也在向我微笑。
4.“我可以陪您走吗?”我问道,“我只是想确保那些苹果不会提前变成果酱。
”5.他大笑着说:“姑娘,你的家离这儿很远吧。
从美国来的,是吗?”6.“只是从其中一个州过来的,纽约。
”7.我和伯恩斯先生的友谊就此开始了。
他的微笑和热情很快将对我意味深长。
8.一路上,伯恩斯先生吃力地拄着他那粗大多节的拐杖。
到他家时,我帮他把包裹放在桌子上,并坚持帮他备“茶”——也就是他的晚餐。
他没有执意拒绝,我把这当成是对于我提供帮助的感激。
9.做好晚饭之后,我问他以后能否再来拜访他。
我打算时不时来看看他,看他是否需要什么。
他冲我眨了眨眼,微笑着答道:“我从来都不拒绝一个好心姑娘的提议。
”10.第二天,我几乎在同一时间又来到他家,再次帮他做晚饭。
那根粗大的拐杖地默默提醒着我他很虚弱。
虽然他从不主动要求帮助,但也从不拒绝。
就在那个傍晚,我们第一次进行了“推心置腹”的交流。
伯恩斯先生询问了我的学习、计划,而他问的最多的是我的家庭。
我告诉他,我的父亲最近刚刚去世,但是没有太多提及我们父女的关系。
听完我的讲述,他指了指椅子边的小桌子上放在相框里的两张照片。
照片上是两个不同的女人,一个比另一个年纪大很多。
但是,她们俩有着惊人的相似之处。
11.“那是玛丽,”他指着那位年长女人的照片说,“她已经走了6年了。
那是我们的艾丽斯,她是个很好的护士。
失去她对于我的玛丽来说打击太大了。

In this text, the writer tells us how important the sun is to all living things on the earth and what would happen if the sun did not reappear the next morning.Great Baee of FireHugh DownsIn an interview following my 1965 voyage across the Pacific in a small sailboat, I was asked what power I had on that boat. "Atomic power," I told the reporter.I wasn't kidding: The boat did have an auxiliary engine and a limited fuel supply; but its main power was its sails. The sails, of course, did nothing unless there was wind, but the wind would not blow if there were not a temperature difference that made cooler air move into the space vacated by the rising warm air.And there would be no warmer air unless something heated it.That something is an atomic furnace 93,000,000 miles away that pours its radiation constantly on the day side of the turning Earth. It heats the air, makes it rise, sucks in other air, makes it blow on the sails and causes the boat to be pushed. So every sailboat is powered by an atomic engine—the sun.You Gotta Love ItAlthough the sun is very large compared to the Earth, it is one of myriad stars in a very large galaxy, which is one of myriad galaxies in a very large universe. But the sun is special to us because it is the closest star; it holds us in its gravitational grip. And its energy, raining down on the home planet, is utterly necessary for the maintenance of all life.I've often thought that among the things humans have elected to worship over historic and prehistoric eras, the sun is the most appropriate visible object. Sun worshippers were not too far off the mark.For life to continue here, the sun must keep on shining. Scientists say that if it died (unlikely in the extreme—it's good for another 5 billion years), in less than two weeks nothing would move on the Earth's surface. Nothing would remain alive.This is easily seen when you think about how it gets cooler after the sun goes down, and is coolestjust before it comes up the next morning. If it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit at sunset and goes down to 60 just before dawn, the only reason the temperature goes back up is that the sun reappears and starts warming things up again.When Hell Freezes OverSuppose it didn't do that.In two days the temperature would go to 40, and then 20 (all water would start to turn into ice) and the next day zero, and then 20 below and 40 below, and so on.In about 10 more days, when the temperature was close to absolute zero, the gases of the atmosphere (nitrogen and oxygen) would freeze, putting a light snow of solid nitrogen onto the ground, followed by a fine powder of oxygen.The Earth would then have no liquid water, no atmosphere, and no life.Perhaps these facts refute the foolish sage who once said the moon was more important than the sun, because the moon shines at night, when we need the light, while the sun shines in the daytime when we don't need it!(509 words)Unit 2Text AIn the following text, the writer tells us how we can manage to face each day happily. She suggests that we should have a correct attitude towards ourselves, others and the world. By following her suggestions we can probably find that our lives are indeed quite happy and colorful. It's a New Day!Marie T. RussellEvery day is a new day. That is an indisputable fact. Every day when we awake, it is a different day than the one before. Another brand-new 24-hour day to explore and experience! By accepting each new day with a fresh, enthusiastic attitude, you can make your life more joyful. What could be blocking your realization of a new day? It stems from your ideas about yourself, others and the world around you.Let's start with you. Do you see life as one unending saga, each day like the one before? You know, "Same day, same old stuff?" Do you have beliefs about yourself such as, "Oh, I can't sing. I'm tone-deaf," or "I can't draw. I'm no artist," or "I'm so clumsy. I have two left thumbs. I'm so stupid!" These words reflect inward beliefs that lock us into a frame of mind and a particular behavior pattern. All of these statements demonstrate a belief you have chosen and accepted about yourself. They are also beliefs that serve to close doors to any new experiences or new days.Let's look at relationships. When I use the term relationships I refer not only to intimate ones, but to everyone in your life... co-workers, family, people you see in the store, the other drivers in traffic... everybody! Many of us classify people as, "friendly", "intelligent", "stupid", "clumsy",etc. We form opinions about them, "Oh! him! He's so lazy," or "Jack is such a good artist—too bad his daughter just can't draw."Take a look at how most children are raised. At some point in the child's existence, someone decides (or rather makes a judgment) that little Sarah can't sing, is clumsy, laughs too loud, or is intelligent, or whatever. No matter what the judgment is, these statements get repeated in front of friends, family, strangers and, unfortunately, little Sarah. She then accepts this as her reality... after all it is coming from the mouth of a "godly" parent or adult.All of these statements and opinions support someone's view of reality. When you make it your own it locks you into a mode where you have certain fixed expectations. They do not allow room for change; and since life is all about change, these beliefs leave no room for miracles.How does one live each day anew? First, one must release all pre-conceptions and beliefs about everyone and everything. Begin by looking at yourself and the people in your immediate surroundings. When dealing with yourself, there are two things you can change—your beliefs and your behavior. If you believe that you are always late (and want to change that), then stop saying that you are always late. When you tell yourself "I'm always late," the body and mind take that as an instruction. In the same fashion, if you start affirming "I'm always on time," that is taken as a directive and your subconscious and conscious mind will work at creating your new reality.So if you want to be a better person, start by changing your beliefs and your expectations. Then change your actions. Behave more lovingly. Expect the best! Visualize yourself and the world as a loving, peaceful, harmonious place. It's all possible! After all, it is a new day. Treat yourself to a new perspective every day. Start to expect miracles and they will happen!(562 words)Unit 3Text AHave you ever paid tributes to your mother? Have you ever expressed your emotions on the theme of mothers? Here industrialist Ross Perot and Professor Michael DeBakey are eager to salute their own mothers.MothersAn old Jewish proverb says, "God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers." Ann Taylor expressed her emotions on the theme of mothers with the following:Who ran to help me when I fell,And would some pretty story tell,Or kiss the place to make it well?My mother.On account of the many tributes paid to mothers from the time of Eve, one might think the subject exhausted. But not so. Here, Industrialist Ross Perot and Professor Michael E. DeBakey are ready, indeed eager, to salute their own cherished mothers.My mother was an angel.Our family lived six blocks from the railroad tracks. During the Depression, the freight trains were filled with hoboes wandering from town to town looking for work. Every day they would come by our house asking for food. My kind mother would always share our food with them.These people were poor and desperate, but we had absolutely no fear of them. When they knocked and asked for food, there was no concern that they might break in and steal things.One day, a hobo said, "Lady, don't you have a lot of people stopping by here?"My mother said, "Yes, we do.""Do you know why?" he asked.She replied, "Not really."Then he took her out to the street and showed her a mark on our curb. He said, "Lady, this mark on your curb says that you will feed people. That's why you get so many visitors."After the man left, I turned to my mother and said, "Do you want me to wash that mark off the curb?"She replied with words that I will remember for the rest of my life. "No, Son, leave it there. These are good people. They are just like us, but they're down on their luck. We should help them." Ross PerotIndustrialistMy mother's birthday, Christmas, is symbolic of her human warmth, her giving nature, her noble character, and her high Christian values. She and my father instilled those values in all their children from the earliest age, and she lived to make life better not only for her family, but for everyone she knew, particularly those less fortunate than she.I recall vividly one incident in my childhood that had a lasting impact on me. Every Sunday after dinner, my parents would pack food, clothing, and books in our car and would drive, with their children, to an orphanage just outside our hometown. One Sunday I saw my mother packing a favorite cap of mine, and I protested. She calmly explained that I had several other caps and could easily get new ones, whereas the orphan who would receive this cap had none at all. She assured me that I would derive a special feeling of happiness when I saw the smile on the boy's face as he put the cap on his head. That lesson made a deep impression on me, and the truth of her words has certainly stood the test of time as other incidents in my life have validated her words. I consider the wonderful parents that God gave me my greatest blessing, for they both believed it was always more blessed to give than to receive.Michael E. DeBakey, M.D.Professor(545 words)Unit 4Text AOne day, a man who seemed to own everything he could want suddenly felt a deep, inexplicable sadness. What's wrong with him? Did he finally regain his happiness? Here is the story...The Happiest Man in the WorldAdapted by Amy FriedmanOnce upon a time there lived a man named Henry who had both land and money. He loved his wife and their strong and healthy children. In short, Henry had everything a man could want. At least that's the way it seemed to everyone who knew him.But one morning Henry awoke from a deep sleep beneath a warm comforter, his eyes filled with tears. His heart felt heavy. "I'm unhappy," he said. For a moment he was frightened by such a feeling, but then he jumped out of bed, packed a picnic lunch and set off for a walk in the woods. He was determined to feel happy again.Henry hiked for hours, looking at the bright blue sky, enjoying the crisp autumn day. Everyone he passed greeted him. His neighbor's dog barked hello. Another neighbor, meeting him as he returned home, handed him a freshly baked pumpkin pie, which he took home for supper.Henry had always loved pumpkin pie, but even the pie, and his children's happy voices and the blaze of the fire in the hearth, did not lift his spirits. He fell asleep feeling unhappier than he had ever before felt in all his life.When he woke the next morning, he was even sadder. "I must fix this," he said, and set off for the city, where he thought he would find a hundred ways to cheer himself. He purchased silver bracelets for his wife and bags of candy for his children. He bought himself a pair of the softest slippers he could find. He dined in an elegant restaurant, and ate his favorite foods. And still that night he felt a deep sadness.Weeks passed in this way. The ripe pumpkins in the field that had once brought him joy did nothing to raise his spirits. Neither did the moonlit nights, the honking geese, the flowing streams, the fields of hay, the chatter of the children, the feel of his soft new slippers. Henry sipped hot chocolate. He ate ripe apples. He bathed in warm baths and listened to beautiful music. But nothing helped.At last, at his wit's end, Henry went to see a wise man, and there he begged with a voice filled with misery and longing. "Sir, please tell me what I can do to find a way to lift my heavy heart. I must be cured of this terrible illness, which seems to have come from nowhere. I must find happiness.""That which is clear to some people is sometimes hidden from others," the wise man said. "You must find the happiest man in the world. When you find him, ask him to trade his shirt for yours. Happiness will be yours once again."Henry set off at once to find the happiest man in the world. One after another he came upon men who told him they were happy. Then Henry asked them one question: "Would you be happier if I gave you all my money?""Yes," each man answered."Then you are not the happiest man in the world," Henry said, and he went on searching.One day as he walked through the forest, he heard someone in the distance singing the happiest song he had ever heard. He followed the sound and soon came to a woodcutter chopping logs. "Excuse me. My name is Henry, and I am looking for the happiest man in the world," he said. "You've come to the right man," the woodcutter said. "I'm happy as can be.""Ah, then," Henry said, "would you like me to give you all my money?"The woodcutter laughed. "I have no need for your money. Look at all I have," and he beckoned Henry to look at the forest—at the red and golden leaves, at the squirrels scurrying across the forest floor, at the birds perched overhead, at the deer grazing nearby."At last!" Henry cried. "I have been searching for you for a long time now. The wise man told me that if I exchanged shirts with the happiest man in the world, I would be cured of my illness. You see, I'm unhappy. Please, will you exchange your shirt for mine?"The happiest man in the world looked closely at Henry, and then he began to laugh and laugh. He laughed until the forest echoed with his laughter.When at last he quieted himself, Henry asked him, "How can you laugh at such a serious request? You see my shirt. It's made of the finest cotton, and it will be yours. All I need is to wear yours." And then the woodcutter unbuttoned his tattered coat, and Henry saw that the happiest man in the world wasn't wearing a shirt."I own no shirts," the woodcutter said. "But now you know that you have the strength to seek all that you think you should have."Henry smiled, for now he understood why the wise man had sent him on this journey. He felt his heart became light once more.(841 words)Unit 4Text AOne day, a man who seemed to own everything he could want suddenly felt a deep, inexplicable sadness. What's wrong with him?

The following story does not tell us, however, what he achieved but how he managed to rescue his men after his failure to reach his goal.Perhaps being a hero does not necessarily lie in what you do but in how you do it. Shipwrecked in AntarcticaWhen Ernest Shackleton packed for his trip to Antarctica in July 1914, he seemed ready for anything. Among the items he and his crew stowed in his ship were cans of meat, a bicycle and soccer balls. Shackleton hoped to become the first person to travel across the frozen continent at the bottom of the world.But nothing could have prepared Shackleton or his crew for what did happen. Instead of crossing Antarctica, they made history in one of the most incredible survival stories ever.Stuck in Miles of IceShackleton was already famous when he prepared for the 1914 trip. In 1908 he had come within 100 miles of the South Pole but had turned back because of bad weather.By 1914, he was eager for another adventure. Nearly 5,000 people volunteered to go with him. Shackleton chose a crew of 26 sailors and scientists, plus a photographer, Frank Hurley. On the way to Antarctica, he picked up at least 69 sled dogs to pull the explorers on the long trek across land.Shackleton's last stop before heading for Antarctica was a whaling station on South Georgia Island. Norwegian whalers told the crew that it was "a bad year for ice."They were right. Upon entering the Weddell Sea, Shackleton was forced to zigzag through dangerous ice sheets, sometimes passing more than 400 icebergs a day! On January 18, 1915, the ice closed around the ship. It was stuck, as one sailor put it, "like an almond in the middle of a chocolate bar."Although he was less than 100 miles from Antarctica, Shackleton soon realized he could not possibly cross the continent that winter. The crew would just have to wait.Fighting Boredom and ColdAs the ship slowly drifted with the ice, the sailors played cards, listened to records and held singing contests. "This was before TV," says Armstrong. "People were used to entertaining themselves." On the snow outside, the men built fancy "doghouses" with porches and domes. Some even slept with the dogs for warmth.Meanwhile Frank Hurley kept busy taking photos. Often braving the cold while others stayed indoors, "he would do anything to get his shot," says Armstrong.The ship was locked in ice for 10 months. By October 1915, the ice was crushing its thick wooden walls. "It was a sickening sensation," Shackleton wrote in his diary. He ordered the crew to leave. They grabbed what they could, including 150 of Hurley's precious photos.A Heroic RescueThe sailors struggled to reach land on three lifeboats they dragged across ice and rowed through frigid waters. They shivered in their thin coats, which often froze solid. At times they had to crawl through slush to avoid sinking. While killer whales swam around them, Shackleton and his men ate penguin and burned seal blubber for fuel. Sadly, when they ran out of food for the dogs, the crew had to shoot them.Eventually, the crew landed on Elephant Island. But it was deserted. So Shackleton bravely set out again with five of his strongest men. They sailed and rowed 800 miles in a tiny boat, battling high waves, winds and severe thirst. Finally they landed at South Georgia Island, where they almost died climbing jagged peaks for three days before reaching the whaling station. "The thought of those fellows on Elephant Island kept us going," said Shackleton.Four months after Shackleton sailed away, one of the men on Elephant Island spotted a ship offshore. When it came closer, the crew recognized Shackleton. They began to laugh and hug. They were rescued!To the world's amazement, all 28 members of the expedition arrived home safely. How? Armstrong and others say it is because Shackleton was a true hero. As the explorer said, "If you're a leader, you've got to keep going."(638 words)Unit 6Text AOne summer holiday, a teenager volunteered to work in a soup kitchen and got her first big lesson there. What was the lesson she drew from the experience? Let's read the following story. Becoming a Better PersonLaura HennesseyIn the summer of 1992 I got my first big lesson in community service. I can still remember how I felt the first day of my volunteer assignment. I thought I was one of the most selfless teenagers around, giving a whole month of my precious summer to work in a soup kitchen.At 7 a.m. every morning, I would walk to the bus stop in my suburban neighborhood, board the 67A and settle in for the hour-long ride into, what seemed to be, another world. Goodbyeair-conditioning, big grassy yards and pedigree dogs. Hello smelly soup kitchen, sweltering street corners and trash-filled alleyways. I felt like a saint.Two experiences from that month in the soup kitchen still stand out in my mind. One day the kitchen got a huge cardboard box filled with unpeeled baby shrimp. Needless to say, I, with the help of other volunteers, spent the whole morning sorting through and peeling a million little shrimp for the gumbo. I couldn't eat shrimp for years.The second experience was far more influential than the shrimp incident, but it was also much more difficult. Part of our job at the soup kitchen was to come up with activities for the neighborhood kids. We would see the same kids almost every day, so we got to know them quite well. I became particularly fond of a young boy named Bruce.One rainy day Bruce, who was normally very outgoing and laughed easily, sat motionless, all alone at a big table in the corner. We tried to get him to join in the fun with the other kids, but he refused to take part in the silly games. Eventually, I approached him and sat down to talk. "Hi, Bruce. How are you?" No response. "What's wrong, Bruce? Are you sad?""No.""Are you angry at somebody?""No.""OK, Bruce. Are you tired?""No.""Are you sick?"Once again Bruce replied, "No."I was beginning to get a little frustrated and starting to realize that maybe Bruce just wanted to be left alone. But then, he finally filled me in. He said, in his meek voice, "I'm hungry; my mom forgot to feed me."I smiled as my heart simultaneously broke. "Well then, Bruce. Let's find you some food." Then,hand in hand, we went into the kitchen and found the only food that was around that time of day — a couple of doughnuts. Bruce eagerly ate the tasty sweets, and I felt like a hero.When I got off the bus that day I hurried home to fill my mom in on my day. I relayed the story to her in a tone tinged with excitement. Then, slowly, I saw a look of concern and worry spread across my mother's face. She then sat down with me and said, "Laura, that's great that you were there for him today, but you have to realize that it is only one day. What's going to happen tomorrow, or next week or a month from now, when you are no longer there? You really have very little control over this little boy's diet, let alone his life."Her words struck me hard, but in that instant I realized a great many things about what it means to "make a difference." For a brief moment I felt useless, and I wanted to give up my dreams of changing the world for the better. But that moment quickly passed when I realized that giving up my dreams would mean giving up a very important part of myself. Quitting was not an option.It was then that I knew service was going to be a part of my life for the rest of my life. It's not about becoming a saint or a hero. It is about becoming a better person.(642 words)Unit 7Text A"Why do I have to learn math? I'll never use this again in my whole life." This kind of complaining can often be heard among students. Is it true that nobody needs math? Well, the author is going to tell you the story...Math, Who Needs It?Carlie Vanwilligen"That'll be $6.52," the cashier said. I handed her a $10 bill. She looked at it, then looked at me. As I waited, she started writing on a pad of paper. After what seemed like several minutes, she handed me the change. "$4.52 is your change," she smiled.I stared at the change, then at her. "That's not right," I said. She looked at me, confused. "I gave you a $10, the change would be $3.48." I handed the money back to her."I'm sorry," she replied. "Our computer is down, and I have to do this by hand. I'm not very good at math." She counted out my change, and I left.As I think back on this exchange, I feel sad, sad because it wasn't the first time it had happened, sad because I know it won't be the last. I taught high school math for years, and every year, the conversation was the same: "Why do I have to learn this? This isn't important. I'll never use this again in my whole life."Unfortunately, students don't see the eventual impact of studying a subject. And when that subject is math, they see the value even less. I no longer teach full-time, but I look back on those。

The Earth is a beautiful and diverse place, with vast oceans, towering mountains, and lush forests.The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old. It has a diameter of about 12,742 kilometers and a circumference of around 40,075 kilometers. It is made up of several layers, including the crust, mantle, and core.The Earth rotates on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete one full rotation. This rotation gives us day and night. The Earth also orbits around the sun, completing one orbit in about 365.25 days, giving us the concept of a year.The Earth is made up of many different ecosystems. These ecosystems support a wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms. It is important to protect and preserve these ecosystems to maintain the delicate balance of life on Earth.The Earth's climate is constantly changing. It experiences seasons due to the tilt of its axis. It also undergoes long-term changes, such as global warming, which is primarily caused by human activities. As inhabitants of this planet, we have a responsibility to take care of the Earth. We should reduce our carbon footprint, recycle,conserve water, and protect the natural environment. By doing so, we can ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.。

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第一册)课后答案及课文翻译
Text A大学——我一生中的转折点佚名作为一名一年级新生初进大学时,我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。
我害怕独自一人在外,因为我是第一次远离家人。
这里周围都是我不认识的人,而他们也不认识我。
我得和他们交朋友,或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。
他们比我更聪明吗?我跟得上他们吗?他们会接受我吗?我很快就认识到,我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。
如果我要在学业上取得成功,我就必须制定一份学习计划。
我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。
我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉,什么时候吃什么,什么时候喝什么,对什么人表示友好。
这些问题我都得自己回答。
开始时,生活有点艰难。
我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。
我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。
我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。
然而不久,我就控制住了自己的生活。
我做到了按时上课,完成并交上了第一批作业,而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。
此外,我还交了一些朋友,跟他们在一起我感到很自在,我能把我担心的事告诉他们。
我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。
结果,我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。
我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。
凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定,这种感觉很好。
我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。
我未来的生活将会怎样呢?在人生的这一阶段,我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方,我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。
但我知道,我能应对未来,因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍:我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。

日本式谈话的进展,与西方式谈话迥然不同。其不同之处不仅仅在于语言。我意识到,正如我在讲日语时还试图保持西方人的谈话方式一样,我教的那些学英语的学生讲英语时,也在力求保持日本人的谈话方式。我们在不知不觉中玩着截然不同的“会话游戏”。
接着,在人人都确信你已经打完之后,下一个人站到同一条发球线上,手里拿着另一个球。他不回你的球。根本就没有一来一往的回合,并且每两次之间总有一段恰如其分的间歇。没有争抢,也无兴奋可言。
难怪我每次加入日本人的谈话,他们都会面露惊诧之色。我从不注意该轮到谁发言了,总是在球道中途将球截住,再把它回掷给发球者。谈话当然继续不下去了,因为我在玩另一种球类游戏。
“我们不知道他何时才能脱险,”医生说。人人都在等待,在为他祈祷。突然之间,史蒂威是名音乐天才也好,他战胜了失明与贫困也好,这一切都不重要了。他所剩的就只有信念与坚强的意志了。
而这就够了。史蒂威从死亡的阴影中奋力挣脱出来了,正如他以前从失明的阴影中挣扎出来一样。他继续作更多的表演,录制更多的金曲唱片。
毕竟,优等生的“奥秘”并不那么神秘。你也能学会和掌握这些奥秘,成为一名优等生。
Unit2 TextA
会话方式与“球类游戏”
南希?马斯特森?坂本
我结婚并在日本住了一段时间之后,我的日语水平逐渐有了相当程度的提高,甚至能参与同丈夫、他朋友及家人间的简单谈话了。我开始注意到,往往我一加入进去,别人似乎就猛吃一惊,谈话也随之停顿下来。这种情况反复出现了好几次,随后我明白过来,是我在做错事。可是有好长一段时间,我不知道自己错在哪里。
7.问问题。“如果你问问题,你立刻就会知道,你是否已经掌握了要点,”阿历克斯说。课堂参与是一种求知欲的显示。例如,在经济学课上,好奇的学生会问,中国经济怎么可能既是社会主义的,又是市场驱动的,从而使他们不仅对于“什么”,而且对于“为什么”和“怎么样”产生兴趣。
8.一起学习。一起学习的价值从加州大学伯克利分校的一项试验中显示了出来。该校的一位研究生在观察大一的微积分课程时,发现美国亚裔学生在一起讨论家庭作业,尝试不同的方法,并相互解释他们各自的解题方法,而其他学生则独自学习,把大部分时间用在反复阅读课文上,一次又一次地试用同一种方法,即便这种方法并不成功。
车祸改变了史蒂威,让他重新审视自己的生活目标。他依然热爱音乐制作,但他也开始对身外的世界给予更多的关注。他力争设立了一个全国性节日来纪念黑人民权运动领袖小马丁?路德?金博士。他录制歌曲,呼吁种族间和睦相处,并为救济全球饥民募集款项。最近,南非总统纳尔逊?曼德拉又为史蒂威授勋,以表彰他为反对该国的种族隔离制度作出的努力。
两个西方人之间的谈话就好比是在打一场网球赛。如果我提出一个话题,发出一个“会话球”,我期待你能把它回击过来。如果你同意我的观点,我不希望你仅仅止于聊表同意。我希望你能加一点东西进去——说说同意的理由,举个另外的例子,或是发表一个看法,使这个观点有所深化。但我也不希望你一味地表示同意。如果你对我的观点提出质疑,向我挑战,或完全不同意我的看法,我也会同样感到高兴。不管你是否同意我的观点,你的反应总是把球回击给我。
6.做好笔记。“在写任何东西之前,我先把一页纸分成两部分,”阿曼达说,“左边部分约占纸宽的三分之一;右边部分占三分之二。我把笔记写在宽的一边,而把中心思想写在左边。这在复习时非常有用,因为你马上就能看到为什么这些材料是有关的,而不用为信息量太大而发愁。”在下课铃响起之前,多数学生便已经合上书本,收好作业,和朋友们说说话儿,准备离开了。而聪明的学生却利用这几分钟,用两三句话写出这堂课的要点,下一次上课之前,他便可以把这些要点浏览一遍。
1.全神贯注!拔尖生不允许他们的学习时间受到干扰。一旦书本打开,便电话不接,电视不看,报纸不读。“这并不意味着对生活中的重要事情置之不理,”阿曼达解释说,“这意味着要安排好学习时间,以便能全神贯注。要是我牵挂一位患病的朋友,我会在做功课之前先给她打个电话。这样我坐下来学习时,就能真正集中心思了。”
然而日本式的谈话一点也不像打网球或者排球,倒像是在玩保龄球。你等着轮到自己,而且往往对自己的上场先后次序也很清楚。这取决于这样一些因素:你年龄的长幼,与前一位发言者的亲疏程度,以及地位的尊卑,等等。
首先是要耐心而又礼貌地等着轮到自己。轮到你的时候,你手持保龄球,站到发球线上,然后谨慎地出手。其余的人都往后站,彬彬有礼地说些鼓励的话。人人都等着球滚到球道的终端,看它是击倒了所有的球柱,还是只击倒了其中几个,还是一个都没击倒。然后出现一阵短暂的间歇。人人都在给你打分。
到他21岁时,史蒂威终于获得了自由。他不顾莫顿公司的意愿,开始探索新路子;他制作了唱片,将福音音乐、摇滚乐、爵士乐及运用非洲与拉美音乐的曲子糅为一体。令唱片公司惊奇的是,史蒂威的新唱片集,如“我心中的音乐”和“内心幻像”,比他原先的唱片集还要受欢迎。史蒂威?旺达已经成熟,成了一名独立的音乐艺术家。然而,就在这次成功之后,厄运降临了。1973年8月,史蒂威遇上了一场严重的车祸。差不多有整整一星期他昏迷不醒,既不能开口说话,也无法行走。
“他是个奇才,”有人说。
这个名字流传了下来,史蒂威?莫里斯成了“小史蒂威?旺达”。他12岁时推出了他的第一首走红歌曲。曲名叫“指尖”,是首轰动一时的劲歌。
在接下来的岁月里,小史蒂威?旺达成了莫顿公司最出色的灌片歌手之一,他的金曲不断推出。然而到他成年之后,小史蒂威?旺达这个名字便不再适用了。并且,史蒂威开始对莫顿公司对他的演艺事业一手包办的做法感到厌倦。他想要谱写制作自己的歌曲,但莫顿公司却认为去改变一种成功的套路是不明智的。
“让他试唱一次,”罗尼说。他们照办了。莫顿公司所有上层人物汇聚一堂,听一个还不满10岁的小盲童试演。起先,他们只是表示一下友好。可怜的孩子。他们不想伤害他的感情。
随后,他们听了史蒂威的演唱和演奏。再也没有人说什么“可怜的孩子”了。他们忙于祝贺自己发现了小灵童,他说不定还是近十年中最出色的音乐天才呢!他们看着小史蒂威从一种乐器前冲到另一种乐器前,从从容容地演奏着。
史蒂威?旺达拥有信念与盛名,享有财富与爱情。他不仅征服了自身的黑暗,还通过自己的音乐与社会活动为其他许多人的生活阴影带来了阳光。
Unit4 TextA
洗衣妇
艾萨克?巴希维兹?辛格
这也可以解释,为什么几乎无法让学英语的日本学生展开西方式的谈话或讨论。每次我发出个排球,人人都只是站在一段距离之外,看着它落下来,没有人把它打回去。人人都等在原处,直到我指名叫某人上场。而那人开口时,他并不把我发过去的球打回来。他重新发球。人人都再次看着它落地。于是我再叫另一个人,而这个人并不提及上一个发言者所讲的内容,而是又重新发球。人人都在同一发球线上重新开始,并且所有球都是平行向前的。从来没有一来一往的回合。
双目失明,又是黑人,家里又穷——这个新生儿会过一种什么样的生活呢?莫里斯太太再异想天开也决不会料到,她的这个小宝宝日后会成为一位被誉为“史蒂威?旺达”的著名音乐家。而当时,她所能做的只有祈祷——外加担忧。
史蒂威自己倒一点也不担忧。生活太充实了。他是在一群虔诚的教徒中长大的,这些人的信仰帮助他们忍受贫穷。他热爱音乐,会用调羹或叉子在任何稍有点像鼓得物面上敲敲打打。
他甚至还和视力正常的孩子们一起奔跑戏耍。他说:“我到4岁左右才意识到自己是个盲人。”这听起来也许有点奇怪。其实对于一个刚刚开始了解周围世界的小孩子来说,这一点也不奇怪。史蒂威听得见、嗅得到、摸得着。就他所知,一个人能做的也就只是这些了。这就是生活。
母亲的桌子老是被他用来当鼓敲打,母亲受不了了,便给他买了一套玩具。他拼命敲打,不到几个礼拜那套玩具就被敲坏了。随后又买了几套别的玩具;后来他的一位叔叔又给他买了个玩具口琴,史蒂威很快学会了吹奏,令大家惊叹不已。
5.学会阅读。“我过去常花许多时间阅读一些无关的资料,”阿曼达回忆说,“但后来我习惯了快读;如果一段文章的第一句话无关紧要,我便接着读下一段。”“我修过的最好的一门课便是快速阅读,”一名俄克拉荷马州的学生说,“我不仅提高了每分钟阅读的词数,而且学会了首先看书的目录和插图。这样,当我开始阅读时,我就对阅读材料先有了一些了解,而且能记住更多的内容。”在这些学生看来,有效阅读的奥秘就在于做一个主动的阅读者,即能不断提出一些能使自己充分理解所读材料的问题。
接下去又该轮到我了。我不会在原来的发球线上重新发球,而是从来球弹起的地方再把它击回去。我把你的观点深化,或是回答你的疑问或反对意见,或是向你提出挑战或质疑。这样球就一来一往打下去了。
如果参与谈话的人不止两个,那么谈话就像网球中的双打,或是像打排球。没有排队等候这回事。谁离球最近,动作最迅速,谁就上去击球;如果你往后退,别人就会上来击球,没有人会停下比赛,专等你去击球。你得自己负责把握击球机会,而没有人能长时间地占住球不放。
你既然了解了“会话游戏”中的不同之处,也许会觉得所有的问题都解决了。然而,如果你一生都在被训练玩一种球类游戏,现在要你换一种玩玩,那也不是说换就换得成的,就算你懂得规则也不行。打网球毕竟不同于投保龄球。 ):阴影中的阳光
1950年5月13日史蒂威?莫里斯出生时,医生们都摇摇头,对母亲说,她儿子先天失明,而且有可能会终生如此。她不由得泪流满面。

优等生的奥秘
埃德温?基斯特 莎莉?瓦伦丁?基斯特
现在是剑桥大学理科一年级学生的阿历克斯,曾在曼彻斯特的中学校队里踢足球,还导演过学校的戏剧演出——但他中学毕业时得了五个A 。在布里斯托尔大学攻读英语的阿曼达在中学里参加过戏剧演出,还经常打网球,但她仍然得到了四个A 。
史蒂威自学弹钢琴,也像学口琴一样很快无师自通。他开始和朋友们在一起演奏摇滚乐。他们在史蒂威家公寓楼前面的门廊上表演,吸引了成群的邻居来观看、聆听,他们还随音乐节拍鼓掌。
“我喜欢那种拍子,”史蒂威说。他不仅喜欢那种拍子,还很善于创作那种拍子。
