一天晚上，盖茨去邻近办公室的一家印度饭店用餐。当时饭店空荡荡的，他边吃边说，“我认为人的智力并没有什么特别之处。”即便是在吃饭时，他似乎也在多重处理，左右手驾轻就熟，自始至终他都把叉子前后转动，哪只手闲着就用那只手做着手势，或做些记录。“构成人脑感知和情感的神经元都是以二元形态运作的，”他解释道。“我们有一天可以把这在机器上复制下来。”地球上生命的基础是碳，他着重提到，计算机的基础则是硅，但是这还算不上是主要差别。“我们最终将能够把人类的基因组进行排序，把这种智力复制到以碳为基础的大自然中去。”他承认，这个想法有点吓人，但他开玩笑说那也有点欺骗性。“这就好像是把别人的产品买来，拆开后对其机件进行仿制，以应对挑战。”
他如此神秘莫测，部分地是他出众的才华使然。漫步在微软公司基地，按下交互对讲机中的比尔按钮，你就可以听到用计算机语言对他的描述：他有“难以置信的处理能力”，“无限的宽带”，能 “并行处理” 。只要看一下他的办公桌就知道这样描述的意思了。他在两台电脑上工作，其中一台电脑有四个组织单元，可以使互联网的信息有序进入，另一台处理成百上千封电子邮件和备忘录，使他大脑扩展成网络的。处理数据的时候，他如此地精确你会认为他的脑袋可能真得是数字型的。
• 在比尔· 盖茨六年级的时候，他的父母亲认定他需要接受心理咨询。他和母亲玛丽不和。玛丽是一个性格爽直的女人，坚信儿子应该按照她说的去做。比尔住在地下室里，她曾经设法让他清理卧室，现在已经放弃了这个念头。她叫他上来吃饭，他毫无反应。“你在干什么？”，她曾对着对讲机吼道
• 〕“我在思考，”，他吼叫地回应道。 • 〕“你在思考？” 〕“是啊，老妈，我在思考，”他大声说道。“ 你有没有思考过？”
• 他的母亲玛丽是“一个了不起的女人，”老比尔说。她是银行家的女儿，善于应付社交和生意场合，在很多董事会供过职，包括华盛顿大学、联合劝募会、美西和第一洲际银行等机构的董事会。1994年去世之后，市政委员会用她的名字命名通往他们街坊的林荫道。

全新版21世纪大学英语3读写教程Unit4textA翻译

1不论你跑步还是拍篮球，或者投棒球，你这样做就是因为好玩。

有些科学家说，玩是自然本能，就像睡觉一样。

这也许解释了体育的历史为什么可能和人类一样悠久。

2有些人说，体育是作为人类的生存形式发端的。

史前人的奔跑、跳跃、攀爬都是为了求生。

猎手通过技巧分出强弱，竞争由此盛行起来。

追溯到公元前 1850 年的壁画描绘了拳击、舞蹈和杂技的场面，这些壁画是在贝尼哈桑的埃及古墓里发现的。

古希腊人于公元前 776 年在奥林匹亚举行了世界上第一次奥运会，令体育发生了突破性的大变革。

但是，直到 19 世纪初，我们所了解的体育活动才开始兴起（请原谅，这里用了双关语！）。

像板球、高尔夫球和赛马这样的当代体育项目诞生于英格兰，后来传播到美国、西欧和世界各地。

包括棒球和足球在内的这些体育项目都是今天竞技项目的雏型。

3从游泳到冰球，所有这些有组织的体育活动都被认为是严肃的比赛，都有要遵守的规则、需要学习的技能和姿势，还有需要贯彻的技战术。

但是，《理解儿童世界：儿童与游戏》（维利图书公司 2009 年出版）一书的作者伦敦大学哥德史密斯学院的心理学教授彼得·史密斯这样说：“体育一样的游戏通常很好玩，游戏就是为了玩。

”因人而异的体育项目4体育项目的形式多种多样，参与人数也不一。

团体项目和个人项目各有其优缺点，但是，大部分人会发现他们从幼年时就会被某一类项目所吸引。

在足球这样的团体项目中，你只是团体的一员，和队友一起争取成为获胜队伍。

那就意味着你要把球队利益置于个人成就之前。

你必须学会与队友相处、分担责任。

在网球这样的个人项目中，你通常只要关心自己的表现即可。

这就令这些体育项目更有挑战性。

体育的最大价值5不管是橄榄球还是高尔夫球，体育的价值是毫无疑问的。

根据美国儿科研究院的理论：“玩耍对儿童和青年的智力、身体、社交和情感等方面的健康发展都是非常关键的。

”玩耍不但锻炼了我们的体格，而且锻炼了我们的大脑。

体育教会我们了解自己、了解世界。

Unit 4 HealthListeningAudio Track 3-4-1A: Has anyone you know ever fainted?B: Oh, yes. He was one of my high school friends. One day he just fell on the floor and lost consciousness.A: What happened then?B: We felt very anxious. So one of us hurried to tell our teacher, and the rest of us waited beside him.A: Was it serious?B: Thankfully, it wasn’t. He recovered before our teacher arrived.A: How lucky!B: , he really was. He told us that he had been playing online games all night and he hadn’t eaten anything. That’s why he felt lightheaded and fainted.Audio Track 3-4-2/Audio Track 3-4-3/Audio Track 3-4-4Female newscaster (F), Male newscaster (M), Woman (W)F: Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn’t it?M: Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They’re calling it the “holiday cruise disease.”F: It sounds scary. What caused it?M: The doctors aren’t exactly sure, but they know it was somet hing in the food the passengers ate.F: OK, give us the details.M: All right, here’s the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 p.m. with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded.They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience.W: Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn’t eat anything. It was really terrible!F: What’s the situation now?M: Well, the ship had to return home on Monday —after only two and a half days at sea —and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They’re exhausted —many haven’t slept fo r 48 hours —but they’re doing fine.F: That’s good news. It’s too bad they couldn’t enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn’t want to refund the full amount.F: What’s going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I’ll keep following the story, though, and I’ll have more details for you tomorrow.Audio Track 3-4-5/Audio Track 3-4-6/Audio Track 3-4-7Mom: Have you finished packing?Bill: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time. I don’t want to forget any of the pieces. Mom: Is that your first aid kit?Bill: Yep.Mom: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin. Where’s everything else?Bill: Like what?Mom: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste, for example.Bill: I’ll put it in. Don’t worry.Mom: And where is your allergy medicine? You’ll need your nasal spray and some lozenges. Just in case.Bill: OK.Mom: Are you going to pack any lotion? You know, you might touch some poison ivy or something and then …Bill: Mom, it’s only an overnight camping trip.Mom: OK, all right then. Oh … what about mouthwash? After you brush your teeth you’re going to want …Bill: Mom, I’m not preparing for a date. I’m going on a camping trip! An overnight camping trip.I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!Mom: All right, then. I was just trying to be helpful. … I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Audio Track 3-4-8Susan: What’s wrong?Anne: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.Susan: Do you have a cold?Anne: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred — he has the flu.Susan: I’m sorry to hear that.Anne: , it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Audio Track 3-4-9I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was hard to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinkingcoffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early!A lot of people drink coffee just because they feel tired.Audio Track 3-4-10/Audio Track 3-4-11Get in the habit!We all know that good habits bring good health, but we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles interviewed 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived. The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.These habits are:1. eating breakfast every day2. avoiding snacks between meals3. keeping an ideal weight — not too heavy or too thin4. exercising regularly5. sleeping seven to eight hours per night — not more or less6. not smoking7. drinking two or fewer alcoholic drinks per dayThe researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years! People aged 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people aged 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits.But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Audio Track 3-4-12/Audio Track 3-4-13Surprising syndromes of modern lifeMargaret’s friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can’t. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can’t Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she’s embarrassed by it. “I’ve never been a tidy person,” she says. “My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid.”Today it’s so easy to get information … and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and messages. For some people, it’s too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can’t think clearly. “I can’t sleep at night because I worry,” says Bahman, a college seni or. “It’s terrible.” Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. “I’m always rushing. I get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help,” says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in “deskfast” (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurrysickness!We’ve all complained about having too much work to do. Well, how about not having enough work? Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that you’re working. Steven works as a project manager. “I can finish my work in about four hours, but I’m afraid to say anything about it. I don’t want to be assigned too much work!” In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even become depressed. Chances are you’ve experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be “pain in the neck,” because that’s what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between y our neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long massage is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Audio Track 3-4-14Ed is about to faint.Stop him from falling.Ask him to sit down.Loosen his collar.Ann has already fainted.Lay her on her back.Raise her legs.Check her body for injuries.Speaking and CommunicationAudio Track 3-4-15Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I hav e a rash on my arm. I can’t stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recently?Chad: Let’s see … I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit you. Please si t up here. Let’s take your temperature.Audio Track 3-4-16A: Excuse me. Are you all right?B: I’m not sure.A: What happened?B: I had a bicycle accident.A: How do you feel?B: My ankle hurts badly.A: Maybe you can’t ride your bike for now.B: , you’re right.A: Is there anything I can do for you?B: Yes, please. Would you mind calling an ambulance for me? Thanks a million.Audio Track 3-4-17A: I seem to have a headache all the time.B: Well, you should try acupuncture.A: Really? Have you tried it yourself?B: Absolutely. It really works.A: I don’t know ... I’m scared of needles.B: Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt and it’s very safe. You know, it has been used for more than 2,000 years in traditional Chinese medical practice.C: If you’re afraid of needles, perhaps you should try hypnotism.A: Is it effective in curing headaches?C: Sure it is. It has been used to treat nervous energy and pain. The biggest advantage is that no medicine is required because it uses your mind to bring you peace of mind. It will definitely do you good.A: But I’m not sure if I could be hypnotized.C: Relax. I’ll recommend you a very nice hypnotist.D: If you find it difficult to be hypnotized, you should try yoga.A: But it’s physically challenging.D: That’s true but yoga emphasizes control of breathing and it’s a very good way to exercise. Daily exercises are said to help ease aches and pains.Video CourseVideo Track 3-4-1Alejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and my … I’ve got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don’t want to get out of bed. So I stay home, I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick —and I mean really sick —the first thing I do is run to the medicinecabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I’m not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I’m really OK, and it’s just a matter of time.Malinda: When I was younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste can cure burns … bee stings … uh … bites … it’s … amazing. “I got a bee sting — ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I got burnt —ah, put toothpaste on it.” “I have cancer —ah, put toothpaste on it.”Kumiko: I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works. Catherine: My f ather’s been recently very interested in acupuncture. He’s been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he’s been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I’m a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.Video Track 3-4-2Gian: When I get sick — and I mean really sick — the first thing I do is run to the medicine cabinet and try to fin d something to make me feel better.

Nonetheless, doing exercise regularly can help you live a healthier and happier life. Jogging is a great way to get at least part of the exercise your body needs, and most healthy individuals are capable of jogging without the need to buy special exercise equipment.There are a few jogging tips to keep in mind if you plan to take advantage of these benefits. The first tip is that running should ideally be an aerobic exercise. Starting off, you should find a pace at which you can jog for about half an hour. Try to keep this pace each time you jog until you have worked your way up to a full hour. Then, if you still want to keep building endurance, begin to increase your pace. Always be careful not to push yourself too hard; doing so can be dangerous, especially if you are jogging alone.Once you have gained enough strength and endurance and started to consider increasing your pace, however, you should consider other options first. Anyone who knows great jogging tips can tell you that jogging, though great exercise, is not always good to your knees. Consider jogging on a route that takes you up more hills if you are looking for a more intense workout. Running downhill is actually worse for your knees than running on a flat surface.In addition, it is important to be hydrated when you jog, but you should not have a stomach full of water. Wait at least thirty minutes after drinking any fluids or eating to start jogging. Also be careful jogging in extreme heat or cold. If it is hot, drink extra water and stop to rest if you feel faint. If it is cold, make sure your hands and feet are protected and try to breathe through your nose as much as possible to warm your breath before it reaches your lungs. Jogging can be a great form of exercise, but you should always do it safely.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why wasn’t Owens worried in the face of Hitler’s ―master race‖ theory?2) What made Owens angry with Hitler? What was the consequence of his anger?3) How did Luz Long help Owens?4) How was it that Owens and Long formed a real friendship during the Games although theywere rivals in the competition?5) Why did Owens think Long was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin hadconceived of as the spirit of the Games?▇ Answers for reference:1) He had been well-prepared and had performed very well especially in the running broadjump. In fact, a year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, he had set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. That’s why he was confident and very sure of his success in this event.2) Hitler had intentionally kept the world in the dark about an excellent athlete by the name ofLuz Long, who had a good chance of winning the running broad jump. If Long won, Hitler would prove to the world that Aryans were better than any other races. Hitler’s intention angered Owens. The consequence of his anger was that he made mistakes twice in the three qualifying jumps.3) Long reassured Owens that he didn’t believe in Hitler’s theory. Then he offered Owens auseful tip to avoid fouling again in the third qualifying jump.4) Despite the fact that they were fierce competitors, Long helped Owens qualify for the finals,which meant Long himself might miss the gold medal. Then they poured out their hearts, sharing their views on life and sports. When Owens won, Long congratulated him heartily and sincerely. Their friendship was thus forged.5) Because what Long did for Owens well illustrates the Olympic spirit advocated by Pierre deCoubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games. According to him, the important thing in the Games is not winning but taking part. This spirit is also true of life, the essence of which is not conquering but fighting well.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Para(s). Main IdeaOne1-5 Jesse Owens was determined to get gold medals at the 1936 Olympic Games, especially in the running broad jump where he had already set the world record. Due to his anger with Hitler and the tension arising from it, however, he fouled twice in the first two qualifying jumps. He would probably fail to qualify for the finals.Two6-18 With Luz Long’s help, Owens overcame his tension. He qualified for the finals and won the gold medal eventually. Major rivals as they were, they formed a true friendship despite the anger of Hitler.Three 19 Owens cherished his friendship with Long dearly and in the meantime he realized that Long perfectly symbolized the Olympic spirit—not winning but taking part.Section B In-Depth StudyAt the 1936 Olympic Games, Jesse Owens, a black athlete from America, amazed the world by winning four gold medals, including the one for his achievement in the broad jump. Now Owens tells this story about putting differences aside for the spirit of the Games. His well-cherished friendship with the German broad jumper Luz Long bears out the Olympic spirit, which is, in Pierre de Coubertin’s words, “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”My Greatest Olympic PrizeJesse Owens1 It was the summer of 1936. The Olympic Games were being held in Berlin. Because Adolf Hitler childishly insisted that his performers were members of a ―master race,‖ nationalistic feelings were at an all-time high.2 I wasn’t too worried about all this. I’d trained, sweated and disciplined myself for six years, with the Games in mind. While I was going over on the boat, all I could think about was taking home one or two of those gold medals. I had my eye especially on the running broad jump. A year before, as a sophomore at Ohio State University, I’d set the world’s record of 26 feet 8-1/4 inches. Everyone kind of expected me to win that Olympic event hands down.3 I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was startled to see a tall boy hitting the pit at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps! He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. I was told that Hitler had kept him under wraps, evidently hoping to win the jump with him.4 I guessed that if Long won, it would add some new support to the Nazis’ Aryan-superiority theory. After all, I am a Negro. A little hot under the collar about Hitler’s ways, I determined to go out there and really show Der Fuhrer and his master race who was superior and who wasn’t.5 An angry athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes, as any coach will tell you. I was no exception. On the first of my three qualifying jumps, I leaped from several inches beyond the take-off board for a foul. On the second jump, I fouled even worse. ―Did I come 3,000 miles for this?‖ I thought bitterly. ―To foul out of the trials and make a fool of myself?‖6 Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked disgustedly at the dirt. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of the tall German broad jumper. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt. He offered me a firm handshake.7 ―Jesse Owens, I’m Luz Long. I don’t think we’ve met.‖ He spoke English well, though witha German twist to it.8 ―Glad to meet you,‖ I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, ―How are you?‖9 ―I’m fine. The question is: How are you?‖10 ―What do you mean?‖ I asked.11 ―Something must be eating you,‖ he said—proud the way foreigners are when they’ve mastered a bit of American slang. ―You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.‖12 ―Believe me, I know it,‖ I told him—and it felt good to say that to someone.13 For the next few minutes we talked together. I didn’t tell Long what was ―eating‖ me, but he seemed to understand my anger, and he took pains to reassure me. Although he’d been schooled in the Nazi youth movement, he didn’t believe in the Aryan-supremacy business any more than I did. We laughed over the fact that he really looked the part, though. An inch taller than I, he hada lean, muscular frame, clear blue eyes, blond hair and a strikingly handsome, chiseled face. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he pointed to the take-off board.14 ―Look,‖ he said. ―Why don’t you draw a line a few inches in back of the board and aim at making your take-off from there? You’ll be sure not to foul, and you certainly ought to jump far enough to qualify. What does it matter if you’re not first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.‖15 Suddenly all the tension seemed to ebb out of my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently, I drew a line a full foot in back of the board and proceeded to jump from there. I qualified with almost a foot to spare.16 That night I walked over to Luz Long’s room in the Olympic village to thank him. I knew that if it hadn’t been for him I probably wouldn’t be jumping in the finals the following day. We sat in his quarters and talked for two hours—about track and field, ourselves, the world situation,a dozen other things.17 When I finally got up to leave, we both knew that a real friendship had been formed. Luz would go out to the field the next day trying to beat me if he could. But I knew that he wanted me to do my best—even if that meant my winning.18 As it turned out, Luz broke his own past record. In doing so, he pushed me on to a peak performance. I remember that at the instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5-5/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me. Despite the fact that Hitler glared at us from the stands not a hundred yards away, Luz shook my hand hard—and it wasn’t a fake―smile with a broken heart‖ sort of grip, either.19 You can melt down all the gold medals and cups I have, and they couldn’t be a plating on the 24-carat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment. I realized then, too, that Luz was the perfect example of what Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, must have had in mind when he said, ―The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.‖▇课文参考译文我最珍贵的奥运奖牌杰西·欧文斯1 那是1936年的夏天。

Pre-reading Activities1. As you listen to the passage, fill in as much information as you can about Annette's plans.Friday evening:During the coming month:Next term:In the fall:Next spring:2. How did you feel while you were listening to Annette? What was it like trying to keep up with her? How do students like Annette make you feel?College PressuresI am master of Branford College at Yale. I live on the campus and know the students well. (We have 485 of them.) I listen to their hopes and fears — and also to their stereo music and their piercing cries in the dead of night ("Does anybody care?"). They come to me to ask how to get through the rest of their lives.Mainly I try to remind them that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don't want to hear such news. They want a map — right now — that they can follow directly to career security, financial security, social security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.My wish, of course, is naive. One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail. Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media —the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive —and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It's easy to look around for bad guys — to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no bad guys, only victims.Today it is not unusual for a student, even one who works part time at college and full time during the summer, to have accumulated $5,000 in loans after four years —loans that the student must start to repay within one year after graduation (and incidentally, not all these loans are low-interest, as many non-students believe). Encouraged at the commencement ceremony to go forth into the world, students are already behind as they go forth. How can they not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? Women at Yale are under even more pressure than men to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. For althoughthey leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society hasn't yet caught up with this fact.Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined. I see students taking premedical courses with joyless determination. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know them in other corners of their life as cheerful people."Do you want to go to medical school?" I ask them."I guess so," they say, without conviction, or, "Not really.""Then why are you going?""My parents want me to be a doctor. They're paying all this money and..."Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin from the very start of freshman year. "I had a freshman student I'll call Linda," one instructor told me, "who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time.I couldn't tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda."The story is almost funny —except that it's not. It's a symptom of all the pressures put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they could sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the rattling of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: "Will I get everything done?"Probably they won't. They will get sick. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.I've painted too grim a portrait of today's students, making them seem too solemn. That's only half of their story; the other half is that these students are nice people, and easy to like. They're quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They're more considerate of one another than any student generation I've ever known. If I've described them primarily as driven creatures who largely ignore the joyful side of life, it's because that's where the problem is —not only at Yale but throughout American education. It's why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.I tell students that there is no one "right" way to get ahead —that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell them that change is healthy and that people don't have to fit into pre-arranged slots. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. I invite heads of companies, editors of magazines, politicians, Broadway producers, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians — a mixed bag of achievers.I ask them to say a few words about how they got started. The students always assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. But in fact, most of them got where they are by a circuitous route, after many side trips. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not preplanned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to lead them downsome unforeseen trail.New Wordscampusn. the grounds of a university, college or school; a university 大学校园，学校校园;大学piercinga.
