大学英语第三册1：12-15I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do.It takes a couple of special qualities.One is a tolerance for solitude.Because we are so busy and on such a tight,we don't entertain much.During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway.Jim and Emily are involved in school activitives,but they too spend most of their time at home.The other requirement is energy--a lot of it.The way to make selfsufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices.Instead,you do the work yourself.The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower)is a little threehorsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.How much longer we'll have enough energy to stay on here is anybody's guess--perhaps for quite a while,perhaps not.When the time comes,we'll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we've been able to accomplish.We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place,too.We've invested about $35000 of our own money in it,and we could just about double that if we sold today.But this is not a good time to sell.Once economic conditions improve,however,demand for farms like ours should be strong again.We didn't move here primarily to earn money though.We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives.When I watch Emily collecting eggs in the evening,fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an oldfashioned picnic in the orchard with the entire family,I know we've found just what we were looking for.大学英语第三册2：4-5Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me.Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad,a secret web of escape routes Between 1820 and 1860,as many as 100000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.In October 2000,President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights stuggle in the U.S.the center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati.And it's about time.For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered,their exploits still largely unsung.I was intent on telling their stories.大学英语第三册3:4-8It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks,security chains,electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm.Many suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios,with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.It is not uncommon,in the most pleasant of homes,to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.The lock is the new symbol of America.Indeed,a recent publicservice advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are,but a picture of a child's bicycle with the nowusual padlock attached to it.The ad pointed out that,yes,it is the insurance companies that pay for stolen goods,but who is going to pay for what the new atmosphere of distrust and fear is doing to our way of life?Who is going to make the psychic payment for the transformation of American from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock?For that is what has happened.We have become so used to defending ourselves against the new atmosphere of American life,so used to putting up barriers,that we have not had time to think about what it may mean.大学英语第三册4:4-11It was actually Bart Cameron's error and you'll have to understand about Bart Cameron.He's the sheriff at Twin Gulch,Idaho,and I'm his deputy.Bart Cameron is an impatient man and he gets most impatient when he has to work up his income tax.You see,besides being sheriff,he also owns and runs the general store,he's got some shares in a sheep ranch,he's got a kind of pension for being a disabled veteran(bad knee)and a few other things like that.Naturally,it makes his tax figures complicated.It wouldn't be so bad if he'd let a taxman work on the forms with him,but he insists on doing it himself and it makes him a bitter man.By April 14,he isn't approachable.So it's too bad the flying saucer landed on April 14,1956.I saw it land.My chair was backed up against the wall in the sheriff's office and I was looking at the stars through the windows and wondering if I ought to knock off and hit the sack or keep on listening to Cameron curse real steady as he went over his columns of figures for the hundred twentyseventh time.It looked like a shooting star at first, but then the track of light broadened into two things that looked like rocket exhausts and the thing came down without a sound.Two men got out.I couldn't say anything or do anything.I couldn't choke or point;I couldn't even bug my eyes.I just sat there.Cameron? He never looked up.大学英语第三册5:21-23Always the college professor,my dad had carefully avoided anything he considered too sentimental,so I knew how moved he was to write me that,after having helped educate many young people,he now felt that his best results included his own son.The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a"simple,old-fashioned principal"had ended with schools undergoing such swift changes that he had retired in self-doubt."I heard more of what I had done wrong than what I did right,"he said,adding that my letter had brought him welcome reassurance that his career had been appreciated.A glance at Grandma's familiar handwriting brought back in a flash memories of standing alongside her white rocking chair,watching her"settin,down"some letter to relatives.Character by character,Grandma would slowly accomplish one word,then the next,so that a finished page would consume hours.I wept over the page representing my Grandma's recent hours invested in expressing her loving gratefulness to me--whom she used to diaper!大学英语第三册6:18-20Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the ground floor beneath them.He was past sixty and had a long white beard curling down over his chest.Despite looking the part,Behrman was a failure in art.For forty years he had been always about to paint a masterpiece,but had never yet begun it.He earned a little by serving as a model to those young artists who could not pay the price of a professional.He drand gin to excess,and still talked of his coming masterpiece.For the rest he was a fierce little old man,who mocked terribly at softness in any one,and who regarded himself as guard dog to the two young artists in the studio above.Sue found Behrman smelling strongly of gin in his dimly lighted studio below.In one corner was a blank canvas on an easel that had been waiting there for twenty-five years to receive the first line of the masterpiece.She told him of Johnsy's fancy,and how she feared she would,indeed,light and fragile as a leaf herself ,float away,when her slight hold upon the world grew weaker.Old Behrman,with his red eyes plainly streaming,shouted his contempt for such foolish imaginings. "What!"he cried."Are there people in the world foolish enough to die because leafs drop off from a vine ?I have never heard of such a thing.Why do you allow such silly ideas to come into that head of hers?God!This is not a place in which one so good as Miss Johnsy should lie sick.Some day I will paint a masterpiece,and we shall all go away.Yes."。

父亲即使在星期天也闲不住，早早起来生了火，却没人感谢他。
他的工作那样辛劳，免不了会声音粗、脾气大，但父亲的爱却永远都那么温存。
这首诗像一面镜子，照出孩子气的你和不懂事的我。
Sundays too my father got up earlyand put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,then with cracked hands that achedfrom labor in the weekday weather madebanked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.I‟d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.When the rooms were warm, he‟d call,and slowly I would rise and dress,fearing the chronic angers of that house,Speaking indifferently to him,who had driven out the coldand polished my good shoes as well.What did I know, what did I knowof love‟s austere and lonely offices?【注释】blueblack: 深蓝色的cracked: 龟裂的banked: 封住火的splinter: 碎裂austere: 严峻的office: 职责【参考译文】星期天父亲也起得很早，在灰蒙蒙的寒意中穿上衣服，然后用平日风霜中劳动而疼痛龟裂的双手挑燃余火。

下面是店铺带来的大学英语二背诵段落，欢迎阅读!大学英语二背诵段落1Unit112 One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。
我们两种文化的差异也可以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。
中国老师担心，如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，就有可能一辈子掌握不了;另一方面，他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。
美国教育工作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现;而另一方面，技艺可于日后获得。
13 However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).但我并不想夸大其辞。

Fill in committed time such as eatin g, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times fo r studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal re ading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxat ion, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not s olve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you sp end your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so t hat you have adequate time for both work and play.2The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoye d it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first so lo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world cam e back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August, 1963, at the age of nearly sixty-five, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his l ife. Soon, he was away in this new 16-metre boat, Gipsy Moth.The old lady was eight today. She had put on her best dress. Perh aps--perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, anoth er decade lined or endured just as you chose to look at it.Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old la dy was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited--like a child. She would enjoy her day.4Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if su ch a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real famil y hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together aft er dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems --everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to s ome forms of mental illness --are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell eac h other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kin d or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better5The next morning my sisters and I woke up at six. Then we raced downstairs to the fireplace. And there they were, the gifts, all sorts of w onderful things, mixed-up piles of presents. Only my stocking was empty; it hung limp; not a thi ng in it; and under and around it --nothing. My sisters had knelt down, each by her pile of gifts; they were crying with delight, till they looked up and saw me standing there lookin g so miserable. They came over to me and felt my stocking: nothing.6After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I d idn't have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father's, owned a small sh irt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty t o eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too b ig and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.7All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that h e might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poo r old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.8Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he woul d stay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didn't k now what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had asked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refuse, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by standing he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then he knew the foolishness of this intention and became more aw kward than ever. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What c an I do What the hell can I do I'm only the messenger."9Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works, the b etter use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn lang uage? Man differs most from all the other animals in his ability to learn a nd use language but we still do not know exactly how this is dine. Some c hildren learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compared to average children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They are trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach language to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.10Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all o f the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting a nd crying, doing small dances of joy. All except VingoVingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs --20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banne r of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the ol d con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.。
英语背诵段落及翻译
第一单元In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.大学最后一年的秋天，我们的心情变了。

大学英语课本文章背诵<i>适用于全新版大学英语综合教程</i>Unit1:Writing for myselfSuddenly I wanted to write about that ,about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wantedto put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle.it was a moment I wanted to recaptureand hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening , write it as I wanted, however,would violate all the rules of formal composition I learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surelygive it a failing grade. Never mind, I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had writtenthis thing for myself.When I finished it ,the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper,respectable essay for Mr. Fleagle. There was no choice next morning but to turn in my tale of theBelleville supper. Two days pass before Mr. Fleagle returned the graded papers, and he returnedeveryone’s but mine. I was preparing myself for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle immediatelywhen I saw he lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class’s attentionUnit2(略)Unit3:Public attitude toward scienceWhether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundredyeas, and it I likely to change in the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changesand go back to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history show, the past was notthat wonderful. It is not to bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do withoutmodern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. But for the vast majority of thepopulation, life was nasty ,brutish and short.Anyway, eve n if one wanted to ,no can’t put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge andtechniques can’t be just forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if allgovernment money for research were cut off(and the present government is doing it best), theforce of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover, one cannot stopinquiring mind from thinking about basic science ,whether they are paid for it. The only way toprevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and humaninitiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldn’t succeed. All it would do is slow therate of change.Unit4:The American DreamAfter he pass away ,I thought more and more about Tony’s career. He grew in stature in mymind . In the end , I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialist.They are reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principal: vision,determination , self-control, optimism, self-respect and ,above all, integrityTony did not begin from the bottom rung of the ladder, he began in the basement. Tony ‘s affairwere tiny, the American industrialist’s affair were giant,. But ,a fter all, the balance sheets wereexactly the same.

Lesson 1 Where Do We Go from HerePara. 18:It is perfectly clear that a violent revolution on the part of American blacks would find no sympathy and support from the white population and very little from the majority of the Negroes themselves. This is no time for romantic illusions and empty philosophical debates aboutfreedom. This is a time for action. What is needed is a strategy for change, a tactical program that will bring the Negro into the mainstream of American life as quickly as possible. So far, this has only been offered by the nonvi ole nt moveme nt. Without recog nizing this we will end up with solutio ns that don 'solve, an swers that donta nswer and expla nati ons that dortexpla in.毋庸置疑，美国黑人的暴力革命绝不可能得到白人的同情与支持，也得不到多少大多数黑人的同情与支持。
对自由抱有浪漫的幻想或进行哲学性空谈都是不合时宜的。
这是行动的时刻。
我们需要的是改变的策略，是能够让黑人尽快融入美国主流生活的战术方案。
大一上期末背诵段落浙江财经学院
(老师说会挖掉十个空，自己觉着哪几个时重点就背去把)1 When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.5 When I think of it now, I marvel at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress. And I marvel at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.6 He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.7 Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.Para.2 A placebo is a sugar pill, a harmless shot, or an empty capsule. Even though they have no medicine in them, these things seem to make people well. The patient thinksit is medicine and begins to get better. How does this happen?Para.4 But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did,and the body will feel better.Para.8 The placebo has been found to work with a lot of different cases.It helps such things as seasickness, coughs, colds, and even pain after an operation. And there was an experiment done to see if a placebo could help old people stay healthy and live longer.Para.12 The strange power of the placebo does seem to suggest that the human mind is stronger than we think it is. There are people who say you can heal your body by using your mind. And the interesting thing is that even people who swear this is not possible have been healed by a placebo..Para.3. The main purpose of sleeping (apart from giving us rest) may be to allow us to dream— to review our lives, our worries and hopes in a totally different way, and to get an unconscious view of ourselves, getting rid ofmaterial from our memories that we no longer need. Para.4. Some dreams may have a simple physiological cause. Dreaming of walking on hot coals, for example, may well be caused by sleeping with your feet too close to a heater. And the frustrating dream in which you try to run but your legs won’t move may be explained by bed ding that is too tight. Anyone who sleeps through their alarm may well dream of doorbells or telephones ringing.Para.9. Today, there are countless books offering dream interpretations in libraries and bookshops. They’re as popular as ever with dream enthusiasts, but most experts warn that they should be read with care. Psychoanalyst and author Kenneth Saunders explains, “Dreams are closely tied up with an individual’s mind and analysis is so open to mistakes or errors. I believe you can only discover the true meaning of a dream if you know the person who had the dream.”① As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are disgusting or nauseating.② However, food likes and dislikes do not always seemrelated to nutrition.③ For example, the sacred cows in India are well-known.Cows can go wherever they want to in the streets of India, and they can eat anything they want from the supplies of the food sellers on the street.④ First, cows are valuable because the farmers need themto help plow their fields. Second, cow manure is used as a fertilizer on the fields. In India, many farmers cannot afford to spend money on fertilizer. Third, the cow manure can be dried and burned to make cooking fires.⑤ They are usually regarded as part of the family, almostlike a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals. Thieves will not usually enter a house where there is a dog because the dog will bark and possibly attack a stranger who is trying to get into a house. Apparently, the dog’s place in society as a companion and as a protection against criminals makes the dog taboo as food.⑥ It is easier for them to use insects for food becauseit is not difficult to catch insects and it does not require a lot of energy.① On the list of items people worry about, money is almost always at the top.② Mortgage debt has increased 300 percent since 1975, andconsumer bankruptcies are at an all-time high. Most marriages that fail list financial problems as a contributing factor.③As the Bible tells us, worrying about money —oranything else for that matter —won’t do us any good.“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Jesus asked. “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow? They do not labor or spin.”④ In my heart, I aspire to be like those lilies. But in my head, I feel a need to hoard.⑤ It is an unusual person who can live free from financialstress, or who can spend money on others as easily as he spends it on himself.(Only a rare person can live free from financial stress or spend money as easily on other people as on himself.)⑥“He considered it a raw material, like metal, to be usedrather than amassed and so he kept plowing his funds back into new objects. Several times he was all but bankrupt.But he refused to let dollar signs govern his actions.”⑦Money may not be the root of all evil, but if it keepsus up at night, it has become way too important in our lives.⑧ For most of us, financial security is an elusive goal.No matter how much we have, it’s not enough. Kahlil Gibran put it this way: “The fear of need, when the pantry is full, is the thirst that can not be satisfied.”⑨When the stock market falls, we can panic, hoard, andworry if we have enough. Or we can take a deep breath and remember: money is merely a raw material to be plowedback into something else.[5] If stress, depression, anger and other negative feelings can make you more likely to get sick, can the reverse be true? Will you have a stronger immune response and greater health if you are happier, less stressed, and more optimistic? Experts believe that the answer is yes. There are studies showing that by employing certain mind-body techniques that help reduce stress and improve outlook, cancer patients can live longer. But cancer patients aren't the only ones who can benefit. Certain mind-body techniques can help all of us.[8] Study after study has shown that people with good support systems—caring, helpful family, friends and co-workers—have better health. Researchers think that the understanding we get from them reduces stress, which in turn helps the immune system. As one psychologist states, “When you have someone who loves you and cares ab out you to share your problems and feelings with, you don’t feel you have to fight your problems, or the world, alone.” Another interesting study has shown that the more diverse your social network, the better, that people who have a number of different social relationships have a lower riskof getting colds than those with fewer.。

1.Advantages of Trying New ThingsIt is widely accepted that one is more likely to succeed at things he already knows how to do well.However,to limit ourselves to doing only those things we are good at will make us miss many opportunities to develop other interests and skills.Therefore,sometimes it is necessary for us to try some new things and take some rests.Though we have the risk of failure when trying new things,we can get many advantages from it.Firstly,the process of trying a new thing is a rewarding experience,from which we may feel a different world.Secondly,even if we fail,we can still absorb experience and lessons from the trying process and our failure.Thirdly,if it turns out that we succeed at this new try,we'll get great pleasure and confidence.Finally,it is impossible for us to never fail even if we do only what we are familiar with.We don't know when we'll meet the situation we can't control.With experience of trying new things,when facing unexpected situations,we can deal with them better.Condidering the above mentioned,we needn't be afraid of new things but should bravely try them.But it is worth noting that trying new things bravely does not mean acting rashly and blindly.We should take full account before we are ready to try new things.2.HappinessHappiness means different things to different people. For example, some students believe that if they have much money or a large number of possessions, they will be happy. They believe that they will be able to do anything they want to if they have money. Some students think that they should be in good health, and enjoy whatever they like. Many students wish to have much wealth from their parents. In this way they don’t have to work hard, and they can have everything.I don’t agree with the above points. We can’t buy many important things with money, such as health, happiness and knowledge. I value knowledge, which makes me happy, for I can do much for mankind with knowledge. Although different people value happiness differently, my “wealth”of happiness is in my study.cation For AllNowadays in China,the limit to candidates for college entrance examination is not so strict as before. People of all ages and even married people can take the examination and have a chance of becoming a college student. The new regulation has many advantages.Firstly,it provides more people with chances to receive high education. There are many people who have once lost the chance to enter a college for some reason. Now they can pick up their own dreams of being a college student. Secondly,it will introduce more students with different backgrounds and the abilities for colleges and universities. Finally,it stimulates competition and promotes the candidates to work harder.However,relaxing the limit of age and marriage might bring some problems. For one thing,married students have to take care of the family and children, which brings more difficulties for school management. For another,there might be a gap between the elder students and the other young students. Therefore,more attention should be paid to the enrollment of those people of other age groups and married persons.4."少壮不努力，老大徒伤悲"。
大学英语4课文背诵段落
大学英语4课文背诵段落第一单元In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitler's military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.第二单元Even the automobile industry, which has remained largely unchanged for the last seventy years, is about to feel the effects of the computer revolution.The automobile industry ranks as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century. There are presently 500 million cars on earth, or one car for every ten people. Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the world's biggest manufacturing industry.The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrow's "smart cars" will be sensors. "We'll see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act," predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporation's ITS program, which isdesigning the smart car and road of the future.第三单元My mentor, Curt Carlson, is the wealthiest man in Minnesota, owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of $9 billion. I had to get to a meeting in New York one day, and Curt generously offered me a ride in his jet. It happened to be a day Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years. Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport was closed for the first time in decades.Then, though the storm continued to pound us, the airport opened a runway for small craft only. As we were taxiing down it to take off, Curt turned to me and said gleefully, "Look, Harvey, no tracks in the snow!"Curt Carlson, 70 years old at the time, rich beyond anyone's dreams, could still sparkle with excitement about being first.From my standpoint, that's what it's all about. Prepare to win. Never stop learning. Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. Find a way to make a difference. Then go out and make your own tracks in the snow.第四单元The mere fact that America still attracts millions of people is evidence that it is not in decline. People aren't attracted to a place of decline. Signs of decline are sure to be found in a place as complex as America: debt, crime, the homeless, drugs, dropouts. But the main characteristic of America, the first and most enduring impression, is dynamism, energy, aggressiveness, forward movement.It is so hard to think of this nation in decline when you know that there are vast regions of the planet which are absolutely paralyzed, incapable of any improvement at all.It is difficult for me to agree with Paul Kennedy's thesis in The Rise and Fall of Great Powers that America must inevitably follow historical precedent. That's the way history used tobe -- all powerful nations declined and gave way to other empires. But maybe there is another way to look at what is happening. I have a sense that what is going on here concerns much more than the fate of a nation.It may be that the Euro-centered American nation is declining as it gives way to a new Pacific civilization that will include, but not be limited to, America. Historically speaking, America may not decline, but instead fuse with the Pacific culture to create a kind of vast Pacific collage, a mix of Hispanic and Asian cultures linked through the most modern communication technologies.第五单元For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I do not know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow, not much more thanfive feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.Though his offices were in Kobe, Burton often came down to Yokohama. I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there, waiting for a ship, and I was introduced to him at the British Club. We played bridge together. He played a good game and a generous one. He did not talk very much, either then or later when we were having drinks, but what he said was sensible. He had a quiet, dry humor. He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards, when he had gone, they described him as one of the best. It happened that we were both staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him. I met his wife, fat, elderly, and smiling, and his two daughters. It was evidently a united and affectionate family. I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.第六单元As Godbey points out, the stress we feel arises not from a shortage of time, but from the surfeit of things we try to craminto it. "It's the kid in the candy store," he says. "There's just so many good things to do. The array of choices is stunning. Our free time is increasing, but not as fast as our sense of the necessary."A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it. Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities with limited communications. Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to knoweverything that was to be known, see everything that was to be seen, and do everything that was to be done.Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same. But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aim.It is not more time we need: it is fewer desires. We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves. We need to buy less, read less and travel less. We need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.。

大学生英语四六级经典英语作文20篇背诵文选
大学生英语四六级经典英语作文20篇背诵文选经典作文20篇背诵文选1. On Open PolicyThe open policy means that our country is open to investment, trade and technical and economic cooperation with other countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. The purpose of open policy is to acquire advanced technology, management skills to serve our socialist construction so asto promote the realization of the four modernizations. Wemust adhere to the open policy. Because economic relations between states today have become increasingly close, and no country can possibly advance behind close doors. Only in this way, can we gradually close the gap between our country andthe developed countries. Through the implementation of policy, we can learn advanced technology and managerial expertisefrom abroad; make full use of the foreign capitals to set up great enterprises; absorb useful and healthy ideas and new knowledge of the modern civilization; and broaden our views and raise our level of competence.2. The place of Science and Technology in Modern Life.Human life can not continue without science and technology. For many years, human society has developed with the advance of science and technology while the developmentof science and technology has in turn brought the process to mankind. So the life we are living now is more civilized than that of our fore fathers. The development of science and technology has brought about many changes in people's life.For example, the invention of television and space rocket hasopened a new era for mankind. Through the use of TV peoplecan hear the sound and learn the events happening thousandsof miles away. Owing to the invention of spaceship and rocket, the dream of man's landing on the moon has now come true. Science and technology also play an important role in our socialist construction. We may say, our socialistconstruction is just like a skyscraper, while science and technology are its base. Without the base, the skyscrapercan't be built. Therefore, we should try our best tocontribute to the development of science and technology so as to provide a more solid base to build our country.3. Importance of EducationChina, as a developing country, is determined to catch up with and even surpass the developed ones. I think that one of the best possible ways to do so is to give first priority(优先)to the development of culture, science and especially education. In modern times, when science and technology are making great progress, the education of the work force is of primary importance. Moreover, many of the success in advanced countries have demonstrated that a nation 's prosperitymainly depends on the quality of its labour force, namelythose who have been well educated. In a developing country such as China, our investment in culture, education and science, and especially elementary education, must enjoy top priority. This is crucial(决定性的)for China to catch up with the developed nations in today's surging(汹涌的) waves of technological revolution. Otherwise, the gap between Chinaand advanced countries will be widened rather than bridged.4. Air PollutionAir pollution is one of the major problems of the modern world. A great deal of energy is needed to run the factoriesof modern industrial nations. Automobile, trains, planes and busses need energy, too. Nearly all of this energy isproduced by burning fuels. The burning produces wastes, someof which remain in the air, causing air pollution. Scientists are finding ways to stop air pollution especially in big industrial areas and densely-populated cities. They are studying new ways of generating electricity that may be less damaging to the environment. In the meantime, many powerplants are being modernized to give off less polluted material. Also, engineers try to design and locate new power plants to do minimum damage to the environment. However, it may be that we still have a long way to go before we have a "clean" world. Nearly all of the countries are trying hard to prevent and control air pollution. There indeed seems to beno end to tasks that environmentalists will be required to do. People will continually find new ways to control pollution.5. Environmental ProtectionToday the quality of our natural environment has becomean important issue. The world population is rising so quickly that the world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources and at the same time polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue to do this, life on earth cannot survive. Concerned people have made some progress in environmental protection. Governmentsof many countries have established laws to protect the air, forests and sea resources and to stop environmental pollution. Still more measures should be taken to solve environmental problems. People should be further educated to recognize the。

1Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eati ng, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times fo r studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal read ing and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, h obbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend yo ur time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.2The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoye d it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first sol o transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carr y out his plan. In August, 1963, at the age of nearly sixty-five, an age whe n many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life. Soon, he was away in this new 16-metre boat, Gipsy Moth.The old lady was eight today. She had put on her best dress. Perha ps--perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, an other decade lined or endured just as you chose to look at it.Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old la dy was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was e xcited--like a child. She would enjoy her day.4Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if suc h a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after di nner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our pr oblems -- everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness -- are caused at least in part by failur e to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The res ult is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet famil y hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, a nd to like each other better5The next morning my sisters and I woke up at six. Then we raced downstairs to the fireplace. And there they were, the gifts, all sorts of won derful things, mixed-up piles of presents. Only my stocking was empty; ithung limp; not a thing in it; and under and around it -- nothing. My sister s had knelt down, each by her pile of gifts; they were crying with delight, till they looked up and saw me standing there looking so miserable. They came over to me and felt my stocking: nothing.6After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I di dn't have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father's, owned a small shir t factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to e ighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big a nd inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consul tant.7All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select h is favorite pudding.8Now suddenly she began to sob, holding herself in as if weeping were a disgrace. Homer wanted to get up and run, but he knew he would s tay. He even thought he might stay the rest of his life. He just didn't know what else to do to try to make the woman less unhappy, and if she had as ked him to take the place of her son, he would not have been able to refus e, because he would not have known how. He got to his feet, as if by stan ding he meant to begin correcting what could not be corrected and then h e knew the foolishness of this intention and became more awkward than e ver. In his heart he was saying over and over again, "What can I do? What the hell can I do? I'm only the messenger."9Scientists hope that if we can discover how the brain works, the b etter use we will be able to put it to. For example, how do we learn langua ge? Man differs most from all the other animals in his ability to learn and use language but we still do not know exactly how this is dine. Some chil dren learn to speak and read and write when they are very young compare d to average children. But scientists are not sure why this happens. They a re trying to find out whether there is something about the way we teach la nguage to children which in fact prevents children from learning sooner.10Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all o f the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. All except VingoVingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered wi th yellow handkerchiefs -- 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tre e that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way t o the front of the bus to go home.。
大学英语一二册背诵段落
大学英语综合教程—考试要求背诵段落(第一二册)All the cabbie had was a letter (6—15)“T his isn‟t family, “he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other …Old friend‟—when we‟d meet, that is. I‟m not much of a hand at writing.”“I don‟t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “I know I don‟t .But I take it he‟s someone you‟ve known quite a while?”“All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back.”“Went to school together?”“All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.”“There are not too many people who‟ve had such a long friendship,” I said.“Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn‟t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget. He was a great guy.”“Y ou said …was‟. Does that mean—?”He nodded. “Died a couple of weeks ago. ““I‟m sorry,” I said. “It‟s no fun to lose any friend—and losing a real old one is even tougher.”Public attitudes toward science (1—2)Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred years, and it is likely to change even more in the next hundred. Some people would like to stop these changes and go back to what they see as a purer and simpler age. But as history shows, the past was not that wonderful. Is was not so bad for a privileged minority, though even they had to do without modern medicine, and childbirth was highly risky for women. Bur for the vast majority of the population, life was nasty, brutish, and short.Anyway, even if one wanted to, one could n‟t put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge and techniques can‟t just be forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all government money for research were cut off (and the present government is doing its best), the force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover, one cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science, whether or not they are paid for it. The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this would n‟t succeed. All it would do is slow down the rate of change.Tony Trivisonno‟s American Dream (30—33)After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony‟s career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tony‟s affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists‟affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn‟t find it—hecreated it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.A valentine story (12—15)And there she stood. Her pale, round face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly glow. I did not hesitate.My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt chocked by the bitterness of my disappointment. “I‟m Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?”The woman‟s face broadened into a smile. “I don‟t know what this is about, son,”she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”What animals really think (1—2)Over the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts, what we call consciousness? Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animal intelligence than experiments designed to teach human signs, I realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking when it serves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.And so I started talking to vets, animal researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animal intelligence, but they encounter it, and the lack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I‟m convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the planet—humans.Learning, Chinese style (12—14)One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthrough in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent.But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?The richest man in America, down home (19—22)Walton set up a college scholarship fund for employees‟children, a disaster relief fund torebuild employee homes damaged by fires, floods, tornadoes, and the like. He believed in cultivating ideas and rewarding success.“He‟d say, …That fellow worked hard, let‟s give him a little extra,‟” recalls retired presidents\ Ferold F. Arend, who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart. “I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.”“The reason for our success,” says Walton, in a company handout, “is our people and the way they‟re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit.”Adds company lawyer Jim Hendren: I‟ve never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for the any length of time who wasn‟t better off. And I don‟t mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It‟s just something about him—coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person.A virtual life (10—13)I‟d never realize how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours. I‟d never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven‟t fled New Y ork City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor‟s appointments—anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable—the noise of conversation in the restaurant , unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.I‟m going to buy the Brooklyn Bridge (11—13)Racing the clock every day is such an exhausting effort that when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into space while I imagine how lovely life would be if only I possessed the organizational skills and the energy of superheroines. In fact, I waste a good deal of my spare time just worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs. Sometimes I think that these modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding our time for the day our prince would come.Y et superwomen tales continue to charm me. Despite my friend‟s warning against being taken in, despite everything I‟ve learned, I find that I‟m not only willing, but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned. Why? I suppose it has something to do with the appeal of an optimistic approach to life—and the fact that extraordinary deeds have been accomplished by determined individuals who refused to believe that “you can‟t” was the final word on their dreams.Men have generally been assured that achieving their heart‟s desires would be a piece of cake. Women of course, have always believed that we can‟t have our cake and eat it too—the old low-dream diet. Perhaps becoming a superwoman is an impossible dream for me, but life without that kind of fantasy is as unappealing as a diet with no treats.The glorious messiness of English (17—19)That tolerance for change also represents deeply rooted ideas of freedom. Danish scholar Otto Jespersen wrote in 1905, “The English language would not have been what it is if the English had not been for centuries great respecters of the liberties of each individual and if everybody had not been free to strike out new paths for himself.”I like that idea. Consider that the same cultural soil producing the English language also nourished the great principles of freedom and rights of man in the modern world. The first shoots sprang up in England, and they grew stronger in America. The English-speaking peoples have defeated all efforts to build fences around their language.Indeed, the English language is not the special preserve of grammarians, language police, teachers, writers or the intellectual elite, English is, and always has been, the tongue of the common man.。

3.The car,and the roads it travel on,will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century.The key to tomorrow`s"smart cars"will be sensors."We`ll see vehivles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act,"predicts Bill Spreitzer,technical director of General Motors Corporation`s ITS program,which is designing the smart car and road of the future.汽车极其行驶的道路，在21世纪将发生巨变。
未来“智能汽车”的关键在于传感器。
“我们会见到能看、能听、有知觉、有嗅觉、会说话并能采取行动的智能车辆与道路，”正在设计未来智能汽车和智能道路的通用汽车公司ITS项目的技术主任比尔斯普雷扎预言道。
28 My mentor,Curt Carlson,is the wealthiest man in Minnesota,owner of a hotel and travel company with sales in the neighborhood of$9 billion.I had to get to a meeting in New York one day,and Curt generously offered me a ride in his jet.It happened to be a day Minnesota was hit with one of the worst snowstorms in years.Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport was closed for the first time in decades.我的良师益友柯特·卡尔森是明尼苏达州的首富，拥有一家酒店和旅行社，营业收入约达90亿美元。
一次我要去纽约赴会，柯特慷慨地请我乘坐他的私人飞机。
碰巧那天明尼苏达州遭受多年不遇的暴风雪袭击。
明尼阿波利斯—圣保罗国际机场几十年来第一次关闭。
29 Then,though the storm continued to pound us,the airport opened a runway for small craft only.As we were taxiing down it to take off,Curt turned to me and said gleefully,"Look,Harvey,no tracks in the snow!"虽然暴风雪仍在肆虐，机场还是特地为小型飞机清出了一条跑道。
我们正在跑道上滑行准备起飞时，柯特转过头来兴奋地说：“看哪，哈维，雪地上没有痕迹啊！”30 Curt Carlson,70 years old at the time,rich beyond anyone's dreams,could still sparkle with excitement about being first.柯特·卡尔森，当时年届70，富甲一方，竟然还会因为自己是第一个而如此兴奋。
31 From my standpoint,that's what it's all about.Prepare to win.Never stop learning.Believe in yourself,even when no one else does.Find a way to make a difference.Then go out and make your own tracks in the snow.在我看来，这些正是关键之所在。
准备去赢。
永不中断学习。
相信自己，哪怕没人相信你。
想方设法显得与众不同。
然后就出发，在雪地上留下你自己的足迹。
1 The mere fact that America still attracts millions of people is evi dence that it is not in decline.People aren't attracted to a place of decline.Signs of decline are sure to be found in a place as complex as America:debt,crime,the homeless,drugs,dropouts.But the main charac teristic of America,the first and most enduring impression,is dynamis m,energy,aggressiveness,forward movement.仅看美国依然吸引着千百万人这一事实就足以证明美国并未衰落。
人们不会被吸引到一个衰落的地方。
在美国这样一个错综复杂的国家，当然能看到衰落的迹象，如债务、犯罪活动、无家可归者、吸毒、逃避现实社会的人。
但美国的主要特征，亦即它给人的最初的、最持久的印象，却是充满活力、生机勃勃、不断进取、积极向上。
2 It is so hard to think of this nation in decline when you know that there are vast regions of the planet which are absolutely paralyzed, incapable of any improvement at all.如果你知道世界上有广大地区完全处于瘫痪状态，无法取得任何进步时，那就难以想象这个国家在衰落。
3 It is difficult for me to agree with Paul Kennedy's thesis in The R ise and Fall of Great Powers that America must inevitably follow hist orical precedent.That's the way history used to be--all powerful nati ons declined and gave way to other empires.But maybe there is another way to look at what is happening.I have a sense that what is going o n here concerns much more than the fate of a nation.我很难同意保罗·肯尼迪在《列强之兴衰》中的论点，即美国将不可避免地重蹈历史覆辙。
