Unit 1 The Perfect SwarmNarrator: Damagefrom swarms of locusts can reach disastrous proportions. A single swarm of desert locusts can consume over 70,000 metric tons of vegetation a day.There is, however, one continent that ’s locust -free: North America.旁白:蝗虫群的伤害能够达到灾害性的程度。

一个单调的荒漠蝗虫能够耗费超出70000 吨的植被一天。

但是,有一个大陆是蝗虫自由:美国北部。

Interestingly enough, this wasn’t always true. For hundreds of years, the RockyMountain locust was a common pest in the American West. Back in the mid-1800s,thousands of pioneers journeyed across the . in search of free land and new opportunities. They settled on the frontier of the western states, and began to farm the land intensively, growing corn and other crops.风趣的是,这其实不老是真切的。

几百年来,落基山脉的蝗虫是美国西部的一种常有害虫。

早在19 世纪中叶,不计其数的前驱者超越美国在自由的土地和找寻新的时机。

他们定居在西部边疆,并开始对土地进行集中耕作,栽种玉米和其余农作物。

Then, in 1875, out of nowhere, a rare combination of air currents, drought, and basic biology produced the right conditions for an unthinkable event, the worst storm ever recorded, the “perfect swarm.” It came over the horizon like a strange, dark cloud. Not millions, not billions, but trillions of insects, sweeping through the land likea living tornado. Those who saw the incredible event and survived never forgot what they witnessed.而后,在1875,走出无处,一个稀有的组合,空气电流,干旱,和基本生物学产生了正确的条件为一个不行想象的事件,最坏的风暴有史以来,“完满的群” ,它在地平线上像一个奇怪的,黑暗的云。

Suddenly, you trip and spill your coffee all over yourself. Embarrassing, right? But don't worry,everyone has unpleasant experiences like this sometimes. The key is to handle them with grace. Instead of panicking or feeling ashamed, try to stay calm and remember that accidents happen to everyone. Clean yourself up, laugh it off, and move on. People around you will admire your composure.Passage 2Feeling stressed out? Taking a walk outdoors may be just what you need. According to a recent study, spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. When you're surrounded by nature, your brain enters a state of relaxation, allowing you to focus better and be more creative. So next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, take a break and go for a walk in the park. You'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.。

1适应校园生活——来自世界各地的访谈塔尼娅•扎茹茨卡娅莫斯科,俄罗斯去年的这个时候,我对新生活感到很紧张。

我没有朋友,也是第一次离开家。

一开始,我一天到晚都在忙功课:上课,并且学习到深夜。

可后来我意识到我错过了大学里许多其他活动。

一天,跟我住同一幢宿舍楼的一个女孩儿邀请全楼的人去参加一个晚宴。

我不知道她在哪儿买的那些吃的,也不清楚她怎么会有足够的钱。

而且她穿得像个模特儿。

我真不知道她干嘛还要费那劲儿上大学!现在我结识了许多有趣的人,既努力学习,也快乐地生活。

米古尔•方斯卡瓜达拉哈拉,墨西哥刚上大学的时候,我尽量把教授们在课堂上说的每一句话都记下来。

结果是我光忙着记笔记,都顾不上听讲了。

我现在学的是化学,现在学的东西似乎都比我们在中学里学的复杂。

不过我意识到,在大学里,你应该更多地去听、去思考。

现在,我已弄清新知识和过去所学知识之间的差别了。

弗兰辛•博内里昂,法国我刚来时,这所大学似乎很大,也很不友好。

一开始,我觉得很难适应缺乏指导的自由生活。

上中学的时候,我已经习惯了晚上做家庭作业。

如何使用每月的生活费也让我感到很头疼。

你得买食品、书、公交车票、衣服等东西,这和小时候在家花零花钱大不一样。

每学期的钱是一次性汇来的,所以一开始我总觉得手头相当宽裕。

然后我就大手大脚地花钱,搞到后来每天只能吃一个三明治!我现在认识到家长或老师不再有照顾我的责任了。

长这么大第一次,我该自己打理自己的生活了……可我却不知道该怎么办!2世界各地的街头小吃“快餐”这个词通常会让人想起汉堡包和薯条。

我们会想到送到现代市民手中的过度包装、却并不健康的饭菜。

而人们也只是把食物当作聊以充饥的东西,而不是可以享用的美食。

事实上,快餐并不是现代社会的产物。

到世界上任何一个地方旅游,你都会看到街头小贩的身影,听见他们卖各式各样的地方小吃的吆喝声。

这些小吃通常都是用几样当地的基本配料加工而成,现场制作,立等可取。

商业化的快餐制作采用工业化的加工程序,用现成的配料大量烹制,然后重新加热。

大一听力教材Dictation部分(1)

⼤⼀听⼒教材Dictation部分(1)Unit1Social customs and ways of behaving change. But they do not necessarily always change for the better. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable —especially if they are your guests. There is a story about a rich nobleman who had a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.Unit2Undoubtedly, Tibet is one of the harshest places for human existence. It is cool in summer but freezing cold in w inter. In Lhasa, the mildest city in Tibet, temperatures may exceed 29 degrees Celsius in summer while plummeting to -16 degrees Celsius in winter! Sun radiation is extremely strong in Tibet. The sunlight in Lhasa is so intense that the city is called Sunl ight City. The thin air can neither block off nor retain heat so that there are great temperature extremes on the same day! The average temperature in northern Tibet is subzero and winter arrives in October until the following May or June. July and August are the best time to visit the area, enjoying warm temperatures, intense sunshine, beautiful scenery and festive events. May, June and September represent the tourist season in east Tibet. In winter, roads are all blocked by heavy snow. Landslides and rock falls frequently occur, which will make travel difficult.Unit3I could hear the guard blowing his whistle, so I ran on to the platform and up to the train. Luckily, someone saw me coming, a door opened, and I jumped on while the train was moving out of the station. “Phew!” I thought. “That was hard work!” I was sure the other passengers could hear my heart beating; it was so loud, and I was in a cold sweat.After a while, I recovered, and had a look at the other passenger. The compartment was full, but I was the only one standing. The people in the carriage turned their eyes away as they noticed me looking at them. All except one, a beautiful woman sitting in the corner. I saw her watchingme in the mirror. Automatically, I adjusted my tie. She had seen me running for the train: maybe this was my lucky day after all. I prepared to say hello.She spoke first, however. “Would you like my seat?” she asked.“Y ou look rather ill.” That was the day on which I realized I was getting middle-aged.Unit4Aesop was a very clever man who lived in Greece thousands of years ago. He wrote many good fables. He was known to be fond of jokes. One day, as he was enjoying a walk, he met a traveler, who greeted him and said, “Kind man, can you tell me how soon I shall get to town?”“Go,” Aesop answered.“I know I must go,” said the traveler, “but I should like you to tell me how soon I shall get to town.”“Go,” Aesop said again angrily.“This man must be mad,” the traveler thought and went on.After he had gone some distance, Aes op shouted after him, “Y ouwill get to town in two hours.” The traveler turned round in astonishment. “Why didn’t you tell me that before?” he asked.“How could I have told you before?” answered Aesop. “I did not know how fast you could walk.”Unit5Americans know that higher education is the key to the growth they need to lift their country, and today that is more true than ever. Just listen to these facts. Over half the new jobs created in the last three years have been managerial and professional jobs. The new jobs require a higher level or skills.Fifteen years ago the typical worker with a college degree made 38 percent more than a worker with a high school diploma. Today that figure is 73 percent more. Two years of college means a 20 percent increase in annual earnings. People who finish two years of college earn a quarter of a million dollars more than their high school counterparts over a lifetime.Unit6I began my career during college, reporting on news stories at a Toronto radio station. The sta tion’s program manager was also a professor who taught one of my classes. I convinced him that she needed a youth reporter because that year was International Y outh Year. After graduation, I took a job as a television news reporter and later, news anchor. But sports reporting was something different so I decided to try it. Figure skating was my first assignment.I had two months until my new job began. It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start. I spent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges. I read boring rule books I drove to therinks where the skater trained, and made notes about our conversation. I even took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.Unit7Thomas Edison was often said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of history who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy just because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as Genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they did not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.Unit8The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says hunger kills millions of people each year—especially children. The UN organization says millions more people will die unless more money is invested to fight against hunger.This is based on the results of a new UN study called “The State of Food Insecurity in the World, 2002”. It found that more than nine million people die each year from huger. Six million of them are children younger than age five. Researchers also found that the number of starving people is growing in some parts of the world.The report says that about eight hundred and forty million people around the world are not getting enough food to eat. Ninety-five percent of these people are in developing countries.Unit9In contemporary English, there are many reported differences in the talk of males and females. In same gender pairs having conversations, women generally discuss their personal feelings more than men. Men appear to prefer non-personal topics such as sport and news. Men tend to respond to an expression of feeling or problems by giving advice or solutions, while women are more likely to mention personal experiences that match or connect with the other woman’s. There is a pattern documented in the American English social context of women cooperating and seeking connection via language, whereas men are more competitive and concerned with power via language. In mixed-gender pairs having conversations, the rate of men interrupting women is substantially greater than the reverse. Women are reported to use more expressions associated with tentativeness, such as “hedges” (sort of; kindof) and “tags” (isn’t it? don’t you?), when expressing an opinion: Well, erm, I think that golf in kind if boring, don’t you?Unit10The University of Oxford, situated in the city of Oxford, England, is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge are sometimes referred to collectively as Oxbridge. The two universities have a long history of competition with each other and they are the two oldest and most famous universities in England.The date of Oxford’s foundation is unknown, and indeed it may not have been a single event, but there is evidence of teaching there as early as 1096. When Henry II of England forbade English students to study at the University of Paris in 1167, Oxford began to grow very quickly. The foundation of the first halls of residence, which later became colleges, dates from the period and later. Following the murder of two student accused of rape in 1209, the University was disbanded, and this led to the foundation of the University of Cambridge. In 1214, the University returned to Oxford with a charter, and the Universi ty’s status was formally confirmed.。

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm. Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes.After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes,a young waiter, not much more than a boy.came to take their order.He spoke no English,but after a lot of laugher and pointing at the menu,they thought they had managed to make him understand that all the wanted was ice cream.There were several flavours,lemon,chocolate,coffee,orange and vanilla and they both chose coffee. “I love coffee ice cream,”said Ann.After a little while the waiter returned.He was carrying a big trav,which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann.There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray.“We didn’t order coffee,”said Edward crossly, “we ordered coffeeice cream .He ought to be able to understand simple English.”The waiter smiled and looked pleased.“No,”said Ann laughing, “it’s his country.We ought to be able to speak his language.”Key:BCDBCCDAPart3New Item 1In Houston,Texas,a federal investigating jury has charged the Arthur Andersen Company with blocking efforts to justice in the Enron case.Arthur Andersen employees kept financial records and provided advice to the failed energy company Enron.

Every day after school they had gone down to field behind the pub to see what was happening.First the men had put up the big tent and thenmoved in all the seats,and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field,the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised . Sometimes, to their delight ,two young wome n stood on the horses’ backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into the lion’s cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round.Then the most terrible thing happened;their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus.The children were unable to make her change her mind,and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section FourPart1 Greetings and IntroductionsGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture.Their importance can never be overemphasized.In social situations,a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However,in the business world is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position.If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other,introduce the oneyou know less well to the one you know better.There might be occasions where in you will have to introduce yourself.For example,if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate,you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello!I am…” If you have been introduced ear lier to someone,do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new person.Rarely they shake hands while parting.As a part of greeting,sometimes,social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well. If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English,do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a sexually explicit stories or jokes.When you are in a theatre, it’s not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Key:BDDCBBDBAmerican IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the same “Indians”by fhe explor er Christopher Columbus.He thought he had reached a place called the Indies.In time,the termsAmericans Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live.But many Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no job. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans.Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans.But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school.At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands.One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel,a gambling casino,and a museum of its culture and history . Today,American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights,and mining operations,This includescontrol over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations.They are trying to protect their land from pollution. And they are taking legal action to regain lost lands or to receive payment for them.American Indians are trying to change their economic situation,improve their lives and honor their culture.Key:CCDACBPart2I work in a small office from 9 till 5 Monday to Friday.

最新版大学生英语听说3听力材料译文与母亲约会(上)结婚22年后,我发现了在我和妻子佩吉的关系中保持爱情的秘诀。

我开始和另一个女人约会。

这是佩吉的主意。

有一天,她对我说:“生命太短暂了,你需要花时间和你爱的人在一起。

你可能不会相信我,但我知道你爱她,我想如果你们两个在一起多一些时间,那会使我们更亲近。

我妻子鼓励我约会的另一个女人是我的母亲,一个72岁的寡妇,自从我父亲20年前去世后就一直独居。

就在他死后,我搬到了2500英里以外的加利福尼亚,开始了我自己的生活和事业。

六年前,当我回到家乡的时候,我答应自己会多花点时间和妈妈在一起。

但是由于需要兼顾我的工作和三个孩子,我从来没有看到她远远超出家庭聚会和假日。

当我打电话给妈妈,建议我们俩出去吃饭和看电影时,妈妈感到惊讶和怀疑。

“怎么了?”她问。

“我想和你呆一段时间会很愉快,”我说。

只有我们两个。

“我很愿意,”她说。

当我把车停在她的车道上时,她正穿着大衣站在门口等着。

她的头发卷曲着,微笑着。

我告诉我的女朋友,我要和我的儿子出去,他们都给我留下了深刻的印象。

“他们迫不及待地想知道我们的晚会,”母亲说。

我们共进晚餐时谈得很愉快,正好赶上了彼此的生活。

1适应校园生活——来自世界各地的访谈塔尼娅•扎茹茨卡娅莫斯科,俄罗斯去年的这个时候,我对新生活感到很紧张。

我没有朋友,也是第一次离开家。

一开始,我一天到晚都在忙功课:上课,并且学习到深夜。

可后来我意识到我错过了大学里许多其他活动。

一天,跟我住同一幢宿舍楼的一个女孩儿邀请全楼的人去参加一个晚宴。

我不知道她在哪儿买的那些吃的,也不清楚她怎么会有足够的钱。

而且她穿得像个模特儿。

我真不知道她干嘛还要费那劲儿上大学!现在我结识了许多有趣的人,既努力学习,也快乐地生活。

米古尔•方斯卡瓜达拉哈拉,墨西哥刚上大学的时候,我尽量把教授们在课堂上说的每一句话都记下来。

结果是我光忙着记笔记,都顾不上听讲了。

我现在学的是化学,现在学的东西似乎都比我们在中学里学的复杂。

不过我意识到,在大学里,你应该更多地去听、去思考。

现在,我已弄清新知识和过去所学知识之间的差别了。

弗兰辛•博内里昂,法国我刚来时,这所大学似乎很大,也很不友好。

一开始,我觉得很难适应缺乏指导的自由生活。

上中学的时候,我已经习惯了晚上做家庭作业。

如何使用每月的生活费也让我感到很头疼。

你得买食品、书、公交车票、衣服等东西,这和小时候在家花零花钱大不一样。

每学期的钱是一次性汇来的,所以一开始我总觉得手头相当宽裕。

然后我就大手大脚地花钱,搞到后来每天只能吃一个三明治!我现在认识到家长或老师不再有照顾我的责任了。

长这么大第一次,我该自己打理自己的生活了……可我却不知道该怎么办!2世界各地的街头小吃“快餐”这个词通常会让人想起汉堡包和薯条。

我们会想到送到现代市民手中的过度包装、却并不健康的饭菜。

而人们也只是把食物当作聊以充饥的东西,而不是可以享用的美食。

事实上,快餐并不是现代社会的产物。

到世界上任何一个地方旅游,你都会看到街头小贩的身影,听见他们卖各式各样的地方小吃的吆喝声。

这些小吃通常都是用几样当地的基本配料加工而成,现场制作,立等可取。

商业化的快餐制作采用工业化的加工程序,用现成的配料大量烹制,然后重新加热。

不管你到世界的哪个地方吃麦当劳,食物的味道都是一样的。

而街头小吃在多数地方都是现场烹制的。

你只需闻着香味,一边看一边等着小贩给你准备新鲜的小吃。

尽管在一些地方卫生条件差强人意,但因为食物一般是高温快速烹制的,吃起来基本安全。

从亚洲的面条摊到遍布中东地区的路边香炸豆丸(falafel) 摊,每个大陆都有传统的街头小吃。

在日本,乘坐新干线上下班的人在上车前会停下来买一盒便当。

在东南亚地区,推车沿街叫卖加香烤肉(satay) 的人不仅吸引当地人,也吸引旅游者。

在印度,随处可见一种叫做恰特(chaat)的用各种配料做成的香辣杂拌。

与商业化的快餐不同,街头小吃是在街上买的。

其浓郁的地方风味和极具地方特色的配料总是让旅游者感到新奇有趣。

3跨文化思考我们组织思想的方式会因为我们的文化不同而不同吗?如果是这样的话,我们该如何描述这些差异呢?不同的“文化思维模式”这一概念首先是由美国的应用语言学教授罗伯特•卡普兰在20 世纪60年代提出的。

他在加利福尼亚的一所大学任教,长期致力于研究那些母语不是英语的学生的写作风格。

他发现,由于学生的文化渊源不同,他们的写作风格也呈现出系统化的差异。

例如,(他认为)英语为母语的人写文章时都“直入主题”,而其他学生却不是这样。

母语为闪族语(比如阿拉伯语、希伯来语)的人总是先回指,然后再回到主题;而母语为东方语言(如中文)的人则倾向于迂回缓慢地切入主题,就好像他们在围绕着一个主题兜圈子似的;母语属罗曼语系(比如法语、西班牙语)的人总是偏离主题,他们的文章让(英语为母语的)读者读起来倍感吃力;而母语为斯拉夫语系(比如俄语)的人经常在他们的文章中加入与论证无关的内容。

卡普兰用以下这些简明的图形说明了不同的写作模式:这一观点招致了不少批评。

大家认为这种理论过于简单化,论据不足,而且偏袒英语(好像只有英语才能够“最有效地”展开论述似的)。

俄罗斯学生尤其不认同卡普兰对他们的看法。

不过,卡普兰的研究成果至少提醒了我们一点:要想熟练地掌握英语(或任何语言)写作的能力,仅仅掌握句子层面的结构是不够的——我们需要在更高层次的组织结构上下工夫,学会运用重复和比喻等修辞手法。

并且,我们可能大都认同这样一种观点,即来自不同文化背景的人会以各自不同的方式提出论点或者讲故事。

即使我们很难或是根本不可能阐明其差异,但仅仅是意识到这些差异的存在也有助于我们加深对彼此的理解和认同感。

4非言语表达误解并不仅限于言语。

由于肢体语言和手势在一种文化中表达一个意思,可在另一种文化中又表达另一个意思,这很容易造成困惑。

比如说,刚到中国的西方人看见有人盯着他们看,觉得很奇怪,因为这让他们觉得很尴尬、很难为情。

其实,中国人只是好奇而已。

与西方不同的是,在中国,观众为演讲者或演员鼓掌,演讲者或演员也随即鼓掌以感谢观众,这是很平常的事。

然而在英国,自己鼓掌就不太恰当,可能还显得不够谦虚。

在美国和英国,当你叫人“过来”时,你会用手指着这个人,手掌向上,食指来回移动。

可是,在中国,人们会认为这个手势很无礼。

在中国,如果你用手指着鼻尖儿,这表示“是我”,或者“我就是”,而美国人却觉得这个手势很滑稽、很可爱。

在世界上的其他地方,手势也有不同的含义。

在英国和法国,张开手来回挥动通常表示欢迎或是吸引他人注意。

可是在希腊,这个动作会被人当作是极大的侮辱。

在中东和东亚的大部分国家里,用食指指人是相当无礼的举动。

可在北欧,这个手势是完全可以接受的。

在欧洲的大部分国家,人们伸出两根手指表示胜利,但是手心一定要向外。

如果手心向内,在大多数国家就表示两个什么东西,比如,“请再来两杯啤酒。

”而在英国,做这个手势是对别人的侮辱。

在希腊和保加利亚,人们把头往后一扬,表示“不”,但在欧洲大部分国家,这个动作表示“是”。

在欧洲大部分国家和拉丁美洲,用手指在耳朵边儿划圈儿表示“他疯了!”可在荷兰,这表示“有电话找你”。

记住,不管到哪里,说话不但要讲究内容,还要注意方式!5爱情是生活的原动力时代在变化。

现在,人们即使彼此相隔千万里、文化背景不同,也可以通过网络约会,相识相爱。

在新千年里,世界越变越小,地方性的传统能有多少得以保留下来呢?我们决定对亚欧四国的年轻人展开调查,了解他们是如何寻觅爱情,如何最终找到心上人的。

我们发现,虽然互联网和信息技术改变了各地的生活方式,但许多地方的人仍然以传统的方式谈情说爱。

印度拥有世界上最美妙动人的爱情诗篇,也拥有世界上最著名的爱情纪念碑——皇帝沙贾汗为纪念其波斯爱妃而建的泰姬陵。

但是,在印度,95% 的婚姻仍然是由家庭安排的。

现在,很多年轻人用手机安排约会。

一些印度诗人担心,写情书的传统将日渐消亡。

为了引起人们对这个问题的关注,他们组织了一个情人节情书大赛。

另一个亚洲国家日本拥有不同的文化传统,依靠“媒人”来安排婚事。

家中如有待娶的儿子或待嫁的女儿,家长会与媒人接触,由媒人出面安排未来的新人相亲(Mi-Ai)。

古时候,相亲是一种礼节。

如果相亲后男方留下一把扇子,这表示男方对女方感兴趣,婚礼也就随后举行——女方没有决定权。

现在,相亲活动依然存在,但是,如果双方不投缘,就不会再见面了。

在欧洲,有些恋爱传统依然留存,尽管随着时间的推移发生了变化。

在威尔士,青年男子会给意中人一把自制的木勺。

每把木勺的柄端都刻着一样东西,比如,钟代表婚礼,心代表“我爱你”。

女方可以收下木勺,也可以把木勺还给男方,表示自己对对方不感兴趣。

现在,爱情木勺只是作为旅游纪念品出售。

不过,年轻人仍然可以给意中人寄上绘有爱情木勺的情人节卡片,表白自己的感情。

传统的恋爱方式并未全部过时。

几年前,在意大利有一部很叫座的电影,影片中一对年轻的情侣将一把锁锁在罗马的一座桥上,然后将钥匙扔到河中,以此承诺对彼此忠贞不渝。

这种做法很快流传到其他地方。

现在,许多桥上都挂着“爱锁”。

当罗马市长决定取掉这些锁时,他遭到了普遍的反对。

爱锁因此得以保留下来,继续向人们展示着爱情是生活的原动力。

传统的恋爱方式也是推动生活的力量。

6集市贸易传统上,欧洲的集市都开设在市镇或乡村的主广场上,也就是位于教堂和市镇厅旁的“集市广场”。

有些集市天天营业,而有些集市则一周只营业一到两次,而且通常只在早上营业,或者更确切地说,是从早上六七点钟到中午时分。

集市出售的大多是水果、蔬菜、肉和鱼,有些小摊也出售衣服和家居用品。

集市可以追溯到中世纪。

那时,人们穿着漂亮的衣服去购物,与朋友、邻居和乡亲见面。

因为没有制冷设备,他们每天至少得采购一次食品。

随着市镇的日渐扩大,货摊也向小街和小巷蔓延,或者集中在专门建造的集市建筑——“室内市场”之中。

现在的室内市场经营范围广泛,不仅有酒吧和饭店,还有很多固定的货摊和商店,可以说是应有尽有。

很多集市仍然开设在风格传统、装饰精美的大厅之中,有上百年的历史。

在大城市中尤其如此,如伦敦的科芬园,巴黎的雷阿尔商业中心和巴塞罗那的波克利亚市场。

在有些集市上,卖家允许你自己挑选水果和蔬菜,而在另外一些集市上,卖家可能要坚持替你挑选。

最好的方法便是入乡随俗。

也就是说,留意当地人的做法,看他们是不是自己挑选物品,将物品放入碗中或者篮子里,然后交给卖家。

在集市上,或者更准确地说,在销售食品、衣服或明码标价的集市上,讨价还价是很少见的。

唯一的例外是“跳蚤市场”,也就是二手货和古玩市场。

如果可以讨价还价,你需要先了解相同的物品在其他货摊上卖多少钱,然后让卖主先告诉你价格,你再还价,或者更确切地说,你给的价格可以大约是卖主出价的40%,这样就有望达成双方都满意的价格。

尽管人们认为圣诞节近年来已不再是宗教性节日,而已经变成商业性节日了。

但德国、瑞士和奥地利的圣诞集市却在 17 世纪就已经非常普遍,并如同现在一样为圣诞节增添了欢乐的气氛。

如今,圣诞集市从基督降临节,即十二月初开始,贯穿整个圣诞节,出售传统的手工制品,如蛋糕和饼干、锡制或木制的礼品以及圣诞树装饰品。

7夏令营凯瑟琳• 拜恩从小在美国长大,她11岁的时候第一次被送去参加了夏令营。

她说,“我不喜欢夏令营,那时我还太小。

”但是,在随后的8年中,每年的暑假,拜恩都是在夏令营中度过的。

她参加体育活动,围着篝火唱歌,学着融入集体。

虽然早期的经历并不愉快,但是“……14岁的时候,我就开始向往夏令营生活了,”她说。

现在夏令营变得越来越普遍了。

今年夏天,将成千上万的孩子参加夏令营。

夏令营的活动五花八门,有足球、戏剧,也有环境意识教育和马戏技巧等等。

但拜恩认为,夏令营并不一定适合每一个孩子。

远离父母、学习新技能有利于培养孩子的独立性和自信心,对于这一点,拜恩表示认同。

但是,她同时指出,夏令营可能对父母更有利。

她说:“夏令营在美国兴起的一个原因是暑期很长,而父母又得上班。
