It was one of the exasperating experiences in the first days of my teaching career.•The word “disaster” often means “an unexpected event, such as a very bad accident, a flood or a fire that kills a lot of people or causes a lot of damage”. Here, used informally, it means "a complete failure". The writer exaggerates the situation and uses the word humorously.Sentence Paraphrase… I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. (Para. 1)to have just come from aparticular place, to havejust had a particularexperience, e.g. studentsfresh from college… I had just completed my graduate studies and began teaching at the University of Kansas City.•Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something.” (Para.1)•The sentence tells us what an unfavorable impression the student left on the writer the first day he came to class. First, he was referred to as “a beanpole with hair on top” (顶上长了毛、种豆角时用的长竿）.Also, his manners irritated the writer: instead of listening attentively and taking notes, he behaved as if he had paid to watch a show of some sort and was waiting to be entertained.•The word "beanpole“ means "a tall thin person"，Here the writer deliberately evokes a "bean pole”, a pole farmers use as a support in growing beans.••part of the student body: one of the students•the student body: all the students of the university•body: a group of people who work or act together, often for an official purpose, or who are connected in some other way, e. g.– a law-making body 工法机构–the governing body of the university 大学管理机构Sentence Paraphrase•Two weeks later we started Hamlet.(Para.1)•Obviously, the writer was teaching a course on Shakespeare. In such a course, generally five of Shakespeare's plays are studied. Hamlet generally included.Sentence Paraphrase•Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. “Look,” he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?“ (1)•with his hands on his hips: This shows that the student wasn‘t carrying anything, and what’s more, this business-minded young man came to challenge his instructor, like a customer questioning the goods or service they have bought.Sentence Paraphrase•New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things·(2)•Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what "university w as for. But I didn't. (我虽然经验不多) 也讲得出这些道埋(但我没有讲)。

现代大学英语精读2unit1anotherschoolyear——whatfor
现代大学英语精读2Unit 1 Another school year------what for?又是一个新学年——为什么上大学？约翰查尔迪首先，给大家讲讲我教书生涯刚开始的时候经历过的一次失败吧。
那是在1940年的一月，我当时研究生刚毕业，开始在堪萨斯市大学教书。
我的学生中有个瘦高个儿，活像个长着头发的扁豆架支杆。
他走进课堂，坐了下来，双手在胸前交叉着，看了看我，好像在说：好吧，教我些什么吧。
两个礼拜以后，我们开始讲《哈姆雷特》。
又过了三个礼拜，他来到我的办公室，双手叉腰。
“我告诉你，”他说，“我到这里来是为了当个药剂师。
我干嘛要读这些玩意？”说着他用手指了指桌子上我的那本书，因为他自己没有带书来。
我当时虽然是个初出茅庐的新教师，可我也能告诉这位一些理由。
我可以向他指出，他进的不是一所制药学校，而是一所大学。
修满大学课程他就能得到一份证书，上面写着“理学士”，而不是“合格的药剂师”。
这份证书说明他接受过制药的专门训练，同时还说明，他受到过人类文明思想的熏陶。
换言之，他上的不是一所职业技术学校，而是一所大学，学生上大学既要接受职业训练，也要接受人文教育。
我完全可以对他说这些话的，但是很明显，他不会在大学坚持太久，他懂不懂这些道理无关紧要。
尽管如此，我当时很年轻，有很强的责任心，所以就试着这么跟他解释：“你这一辈子，每天大概平均有二十四个小时。
热恋的时候，你会觉得一天的时间短一点，而失恋的时候，则会长一些。
但是平均起来，大致就是这个数。
这其中的八个小时，你基本上是在睡觉。
“每个工作日，你大约需要工作八小时，我希望你会用来做些有用的事情。
假设你修完了制药，或者土木工程、法律或是其他学科的课程，那么在这八小时里，你会使用你的专业技术：在配制阿司匹林的时候，确保里面不掺进氰化物；在搞工程设计的时候，确保牛不会跳进篱笆里；当律师时，就要确保你的委托人不会因为你的无能而坐上电椅。
这些都是非常有用的职业，都需要人们应该尊重的技能，这些技能都能帮助你满足你的基本需求。

在地球上有生命吗?阿特.布奇沃德这是金星这周最令人激动的事情。
金星的科学家首次成功发射了一颗人造卫星到地球，并且它到达以后一直送回信号和照片。
人造卫星被指引到一个名叫曼哈顿的地区，(以金星伟大的天文学家--曼哈顿教授命名，他在20000光年以前首次通过望远镜发现这个地方)。
因为非常好的天气情况和非常强的信号，金星人科学家能够得到非常有价值的信息关于载人飞碟登上地球的可能性。
一次新闻发布会在金星的技术协会举行。
“我们已经得出了结论,以上周的人造卫星登陆为基础,”佐格教授说,“在地球上没有生命。
”“您是如何知道这件事情的？”金星晚报的科学记者问道。
“首先，曼哈顿地区的地面由坚硬的混凝土构成，没有任何东西能在那里生长。
其次，地球的大气充满了一氧化碳和其他有害的气体。
没有什么人呼吸这种空气还能存活。
”“对我们的飞碟计划这意味着什么呢？”“我们将自己携带氧气，它意味着飞碟要比我最初计划的要重很多。
”“在您的研究中您还发现其它的危险了吗？”“看这张照片。
你可以看到黑色的云层盘旋在地球的表面。
我们叫它联合爱迪生云层。
我们并不知道它是如何产生的，但是它给我们再来很多麻烦，我们必须做进一步的测试在我们从金星出发之前。
”“在这里你将注意到这似乎是一条河，但是人造卫星发现它已经被污染了并且水不能被饮用。
这意味我们不得不自己携带水，这会更加增加飞碟的重量。
”“先生，在照片上那些所有的小黑点是什么呢？”“我们不能确定。
它们看起来是由金属制成了，并沿着一定的轨迹运行。
它们排放出废气，噪音并且不断地撞向对方。
在许多的路上都有很多的金属制成的物品，当飞碟着陆时保证它不被其中一个撞到是不可能完成的事情。
”“那些像石笋的突出物是什么呢？”“它们是某种会在晚上发光的花岗岩的形成物。
”格洛姆教授说,从他们看起来快擦到蓝天了就把它们命名为摩天大楼。
