TEXT I
Imagination is not to be divorced from the facts: it is a way of illuminating the facts. It works by eliciting the general principles which apply to the facts, as they exist, and then by an intellectual survey of alternative possibilities which are consistent with those principles. It enables men to construct an intellectual vision of a new world, and it preserves the zest of life by the suggestion of satisfying purposes. Youth is imaginative, and if the imagination be strengthened by discipline this energy of imagination can in great measure be preserved through life. The tragedy of the world is that those who are imaginative have but slight experience, and those who are experienced have feeble imaginations.

1- We’ve been hitAdam Mayblum 过去很享受看着暴风雨抽打他办公室窗户的场景：你认为这就是权力吗？Mayblum 可能会讥笑。

我在世界贸易中心的87楼。

这就是权力。

百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻地摇晃，但它只是一种假象。

虽然它是在距离地面1,040 英尺的高空中，但是世贸中心还是相当稳固的。

在9 月的那个早上，当Mayblum感觉到毁灭性的隆隆声时，他瞥了一眼拉绳。

他们被疯狂坠入 3 英尺的任一方向。

那天早上，有数千人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难，Mayblum也是其中的一员。

尽管多达25,000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式，但另外的5,000 人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。

对于有些人来说，生死攸关的是此时此刻他们所在的地理位置---不仅是哪幢楼，哪一层，更重要的是在大楼的哪个角落。

对于有些人来说，选择使用哪一个楼梯是最基本的。

其他人所面对的则是终极的道德困境：拯救自己，还是拯救他人。

在名为戴维斯的金融服务公司里，Adam Mayblum 办公室内的混乱持续了几秒钟。

他知道他需要逃离那里。

他把T恤撕成碎片，浸泡在水中，并分发给同事，用来捂住他们的脸。

其中：有一个是戴维斯的首席交易员---哈里·拉莫斯。

Mayblum 曾与拉莫斯断断续续一起工作了14 年之久。

当他在楼梯上急速奔跑时，火花溅在了他的脚踝上。

当他冲下一段楼梯之后，他才意识到他的贸易伙伴，朱红还落在后面。

他又跑上楼，此时这个地方充满了烟和燃烧的喷气燃料。

看不到朱红的影子。

Mayblum又冲下楼梯，成功到达了78 楼，这里恰好是有一部电梯和一个楼梯的中转大厅。

他看到了一个令人放心的景象，拉莫斯已经淌进混乱的场面中，协助恐慌的工人转到安全的楼梯间。

Mayblum继续往下跑，他小腿的肌肉因抽筋而收缩。

在53层。

他碰见了一个身材粗壮的男人，他的腿无法移动了。

“你想自己过来，还是你想要我们来帮助你？”Mayblum大声喊道。

Unit3Book2Text AIt is perhaps human nature to be drawn towards fame and wealth.Yet,as Alex Haley points out through his own experience,in order to become successful,one must learn to struggle in the Shadowland of dreams—a deep forest that can swallow up those who swing and hesitate.Only the determined stand a chance of making it.The Shadowland of DreamsAlex Haley1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’s a difference between“being a writer”and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the type-writer.“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”2The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune,there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty.I did.3When I left a20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend with whom I’d grown up in Henning,Tennessee. George found me my home—a cleaned-out storage room in the Greenwich Village apartment building where he worked as superintendent.It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.Immediately I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.4After a year or so,however,I still hadn’t received a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering,“What if?”I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.5Then one day I got a call that changed my life.It wasn’t an agent or editor offering a big contract.It was the opposite,a kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dream.On the phone was an old acquaintance from the Coast Guard,now stationed in San Francisco.He had once lent me a few bucks and liked to egg me about it.“When am I going to get the$15,Alex?”he teased.6“Next time I make a sale.”7“I have a better idea,”he said.“We need a new public-information assistant out here,and we’re paying$6,000a year.If you want it,you can have it.”8Six thousand a year!That was real money in1960.I could get a nice apartment,a used car, pay off debts and maybe save a little something.What’s more,I could write on the side.9As the dollars were dancing in my head,something cleared my senses.From deep inside a bull-headed resolution welled up.I had dreamed of being a writer—full time.And that’s what I was going to be.“Thanks,but no,”I heard myself saying.“I’m going to stick it out and write.”10Afterward,as I paced around my little room,I started to feel like a fool.Reaching into my cupboard—an orange crate nailed to the wall—I pulled out all that was there:two cans of sardines.Plunging my hands in my pockets,I came up with18cents.I took the cans and coins and jammed them into a crumpled paper bag.There Alex,I said to myself.There’s everything you’ve made of yourself so fa r.I’m not sure I ever felt so low.11I wish I could say things started getting better right away.But they didn’t.Thank goodness I had George to help me over the rough spots.12Through him I met other struggling artists,like Joe Delaney,a veteran painter from Knoxville,Tennessee.Often Joe lacked food money,so he’d visit a neighborhood butcher who would give him big bones with small pieces of meat,and a grocer who would hand him some withered vegetables.That’s all Joe needed to make his favorite soup.13Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant. Rumor had it that if a customer ordered steak,the singer would dash to a supermarket across the street to buy one.His name was Harry Belafonte.14People like Delaney and Belafonte became role models for me.I learned that you had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working at your dreams.That’s what living in the Shadowland is all about.15As I absorbed the lesson,I gradually began to sell my articles.I was writing about what many people were talking about then:civil rights,black Americans and Africa.Soon,like birdsflying south,my thoughts were drawn back to my childhood.In the silence of my room,I heard the voices of Grandma,Cousin Georgia,Aunt Plus,Aunt Liz and Aunt Till as they told stories about our family and slavery.16These were stories that black Americans had tended to avoid before,and so I mostly kept them to myself.But one day at lunch with editors of Reader’s Digest,I told these stories of my grandmother and aunts and cousins.I said that I had a dream to trace my family’s history to the first African brought to these shores in chains.I left that lunch with a contract that would help support my research and writing for nine years.17It was a long,slow climb out of the shadows.Yet in1970,17years after I left the Coast Guard,Roots was published.Instantly I had the kind of fame and success that few writers ever experienced.The shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.18For the first time I had money and open doors everywhere.The phone rang all the time with new friends and new deals.I packed up and moved to Los Angeles,where I could help in the making of the Roots TV mini-series.It was a confusing,exciting time,and in a sense,I was blinded by the light of my success.19Then one day,while unpacking,I came across a box filled with things I had owned years before in the Village.Inside was a brown paper bag.20I opened it,and there were two corroded sardine cans,a nickel,a dime and three pennies. Suddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.I could picture myself once again huddled over the typewriter in that cold,bleak,one-room apartment.And I said to myself,The things in this bag are part of my roots,too.I can’t ever forget that.21I sent them out to be framed.I keep that clear plastic case where I can see it every day.I can see it now above my office desk in Knoxville,along with the Pulitzer Prize,a portrait of nine Emmys awarded to the TV production of Roots,and the Spingarn medal—the NAACP’s highest honor.I’d be hard pressed to say which means the most to me.But only one reminds me of the courage and persistence it takes to stay the course in the Shadowland.22It’s a lesson anyone with a dream should learn.▇课文重点词汇Good Usage(Paras.1-2)Many a young personIn most casesdreaming of wealth and famekissed by fortunenever rewardedlong periods of neglect and povertyGood Usage(Para.3)had no prospects at allworked as superintendentIt didn’t even matter thatGood Usage(Paras.4-5)hadn’t received a breakbegan to doubt myselfbarely made enough to eatputting my dream to the testliving with uncertainty and fear of failureoffering a big contracta kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dreamegg me about itGood Usage(Paras.6-9)make a salepay off debtson the sidethe dollars were dancing in my headsomething cleared my sensesa bull-headed resolution welled upstick it outGood Usage(Para.10)paced around my little roomPlunging my hands in my pocketscame up withThere’s everything you’ve made of yourself so farfelt so lowGood Usage(Paras.11-12)Thank goodnesshelp me over the rough spotsGood Usage(Paras.13-14)Rumor had it thatbecame role models for memake sacrificesGood Usage(Paras.15-16)absorbed the lessonmy thoughts were drawn back to my childhoodtended to avoidmostly kept them to myselftrace my family’s history toGood Usage(Paras.17-18)a long,slow climb out of the shadowsThe shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.I had money and open doors everywherepacked upin a senseblinded by the light of my successGood Usage(Paras.19-20)came acrossSuddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.huddled overGood Usage(Paras.21-22)be hard pressed to sayreminds me of the courage and persistencestay the course in the Shadowlanda lesson anyone with a dream should learnKey Words and Expressions for Text Amany afml many〖正式〗a large number of许多e.g.1.Many a scientist has to work long hours alone in the laboratory and sacrifice a great dealin his or her personal life.2.I’ve sat here many a time and wondered what happened to her.我很多次坐在这里想：她发生了什么事？Usage:注意many a后接名词单数，谓语动词也需要保持一致。

He had no money. But he needed a lot of money to buy the land, the house and the machines for his dream ranch.4 When Monty Roberts asked his father for advice, his father just asked him to make up his own mind on his dream because it is a very important decision for him to make.5 When Monty Roberts turned in the same paper, he said to his teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream . I will follow my heart , no matter what happens.”Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) According to Alex Haley, why does many a young man want to be a writer? Because they think that being a writer can bring them wealth and fame.2) Does writing mean glory and wealth in the author’s opinion?No. The author thinks that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few can succeed after long periods of neglect and poverty.3) What was the author’s life in Greenwich Village like?His life in Greenwich Village was very poor. He barely made enough to eat.4) Did he ever doubt his ability to write? Why or why not?Yes. Because he didn’t receive a break after writing for a year or so.5) Why did the call from his old acquaintance change his life?Because his doubt of his resolution to write was cleared. He was determined to keep on writing.6) In what way did people like Delaney and Belafonte become role models for the author?From them he learned that one had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working hard to realize one’s dreams.7) How many years did the author keep on writing before his great success? He kept on writing for 17 years before his great success.8) What did the two sardine cans and 18 cents in the brown paper bag symbolize?They symbolized his courage and persistence to stick to his dream of writing.9) What is the meaning of the Shadowland of dreams?The Shadowland of dreams means all the difficulties (e.g. neglect, poverty, doubt, uncertainty, and fear of failure) people meet with in pursuing their dreams.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: One; Paragraph(s): 1-2; Main Idea: Alex Haley explains the difference between “being a writer” and “writing”.Part: Two; Paragraph(s): 3–18; Main Idea: The author tells about his struggle to stick to his dream of writing and his final success.Part: Three; Paragraph(s): 19-22; Main Idea: The author tells about his struggle to stick to his dream of writing and his final success.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) For every writer kissed by fortune, there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. (Para. 2)Compared with those lucky writers who have become famous, thousands of people who devote themselves to writing are never given recognition as successful writers.2) Next time I make a sale. (Para. 6)Considering the rather difficult circumstances the author was in, it is easy to see that there was a degree of irony and self-sarcasm when he promised his friend that he would pay back the money next time he made a sale, for it was something that had not happened before and would not be very likely to happen in the near future, thus pushing the repayment of the debt into the remote future.3) What’s more, I could write on the side. (Para. 8)More importantly, I could take writing as a part-time job.4) There’s everything you’ve made of yourself so far. (Para. 10)The two cans of sardines and 18 cents are all you have.5) Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant. (Para. 13)… a restaurant that has few customers and is about to close down.6) As I absorbed the lesson, I gradually began to sell my articles. (Para. 15) As I became aware of what it meant to live in the Shadowland, …7) For the first time I had money and open doors everywhere. (Para. 18)… I had a lot of opportunities.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Choose the definition in Column B that best matches each italicized word in Column A.1)d2)g3) f4) e5) b6) h7) a8)c2 Spell out the words from Text B with the help of the given definitions, the initial letters and paragraph numbers.Example: e stablish : set up; begin; create (Para. 1)1) w orthy : deserving respect or serious consideration (Para. 1)2) c reep : move slowly, quietly, and carefully, esp. so as not to attract attention (Para. 1)3) r esolve : make a determined decision; decide firmly (Para. 2)4) r efresh : make less hot or tired; bring back strength and freshness to (Para. 5)5) o ccurrence : an event or happening (Para. 6)6) s urplus : an amount additional to what is needed or used (Para. 6)7) f avourable : winning favour and approval (Para. 7)8) r emark : say esp. sth. that one has just noticed; give as an opinion (Para. 9)3 Some phrases or expressions from Text B are hidden in the following picture.

But many of you are now wondering how these commitments fit with a career choice. Is it necessary to decide between remunerative work and meaningful work? If it were to be either/or, which would you choose? Is there a way to have both?○4Interpret following passage in EUniversities will need to adapt to the changing opportunities that the changing world brings. In the future, education is going to be much more of a lifelong demand. We are seeing already the end of what one might call the fuel tank model of education, where people fill themselves up with knowledge when they are young, gradually deplete their knowledge as they work through a lifetime, then retire. The opportunities to deliver knowledge to people who are thousands of miles away are greatlymagnified by the Internet. So the work of teaching—who we teach and how we teach them—will change.Hence, I am firmly convinced that if in one era the wealth and success of a society depended on how well it grew food, and if in another era, the wealth and success of a society depended on how well it produced and used steel, in the world that we are headed into , the wealth and success of a society will depend on how it produces and how it used knowledge. And I am firmly convinced there will be no more important institutions to this new world than universities. The most enduring tradition of university is that we are forever young, forever committed to renewing ourselves. That must be the work of universities around this world. Writing skills○11.

Skimming 2. Journalists sometimes have to make difficult decisions about how, and what, to report. It is important for everyone to realize how difficult these decisions are, and to recognize that editors and readers should share part of the responsibility for these decisions too. 3. In extreme situations, journalists should be prepared not to report the news as it happens. These situations may instead require them to help people in difficulty, or to take decisions about how far they can try and find out about people’s private lives.

新世纪大学英语综合教程2unit3课文翻译

UNIT3追梦——亚历克斯·哈利1)很多年轻人告诉我，他们想当作家。

我总是鼓励这些人，但我也会解释，“当作家”和写作是有区别的。

在多数情况下，这些人是在梦想名利，而不是在打字机前独自度过漫长的时间。

我对他们说，“你得渴望写作，而不是渴望当作家。

”2)孤独、冷清、低薪，这就是写作的现实写照。

幸运之神会眷顾一些作家，但数以千计的人心中的渴望永远无法满足。

就算是成功者，大多也曾长期无人问津、穷困潦倒，包括我。

3)我离开工作了20年的美国海岸警备队成为一名自由作家时，前途一片渺茫。

唯一拥有的是一个儿时的朋友乔治，他跟我在田纳西州的亨宁一起长大。

乔治在格林尼治村公寓看门，他在那里帮我找了间腾出来的储藏室。

那儿很冷，又没有卫生间，可是我不在乎。

我马上买了一部二手的打字机，感觉就像一个真正的作家了。

4)然而，过了一年左右还没有时来运转，我开始怀疑自己。

作品很难卖出去，我只能勉强维持生计，但我知道，我渴望写作，多少年来我一直梦想着写作。

我不要像有些人一样，临死时还想，“假如……”我要坚持不懈地试验着我的梦，哪怕衣食无着，害怕失败，也决不放弃。

这是希望的阴影地带，每个有梦的人都必须学会在那里安居。

5)我接到一个电话，我的一生从此改变。

不是经纪人或编辑打来要和我签一份大额合同。

刚好相反，这个电话像海妖的歌声，诱使我放弃梦想。

打电话的是海岸警备队的一个老熟人，警备队现在设在旧金山。

他借过一些钱给我，不时提起这件事。

“我什么时候才能拿回那15块钱啊，亚历克斯？”他揶揄道。

6)“等我下次卖了稿子吧。

”7)他说，“我有个更好的主意。

我们这里要新招一个公共信息助理，年薪六千。

想要的话，这位子就是你的了。

”8)一年六千！在1960年，那可是一大笔钱了。

我可以买套不错的房子，一辆二手车，还清所有的债，甚至还可以有点积蓄，而且我还可以在业余时间写作。

9)钞票在我脑海中舞动，但我的头脑蓦地清醒了。

从内心深处，一个固执的决定涌上心头。

经典：Unit3新世纪英语专业综合教程2

Detailed reading
5 We met in 1953 when I was in Paris to star in Act of Love. I was looking for an assistant, and Anne Buydens showed up at my dressing room for an interview. She wore a blue suit with a white collar, and had very delicate wrists and ankles. Quite striking. I explained the position and she politely said, “I don’t think this job’s right for me.” I was miffed. Here I was, an American movie star. I expected her to be eager for the job.
Detailed reading
3 But Anne was right. In L.A. I could get the best care for my spinal injury and start seeing psychiatrists for my very real “survivor’s guilt”. Anne has such good judgment and intuition, she rarely makes a wrong decision. After all, she first saved my life in 1958, when she refused to let me join film producer Mike Todd on his fatal flight. She saved me again after my stroke in 1995, when I became depressed and suicidal.

何兆雄综合英语Unit3

Unit3 my stroke of luck一、原文翻译事情发生在离洛杉矶北部40英里的菲尔莫尔县开会回来的路上。

我的朋友诺尔布兰斯，是一位直升机飞行员，他主动邀请我乘坐他的飞机返回市区。

当我们在离地面50英尺的高空时，我们的飞机与一架由飞行教练和他的学生驾驶的小型飞机相撞。

Noel和我活了下来，但是那架飞机上的人却当场死亡。

我不记得自己是怎样从飞机残骸中被拖出来，也不记得救护车是怎样把我送到邻近的医院。

但是我很清楚地记得我的妻子，安妮，一直守护在我病床旁。

当听到我发生意外时，安妮就乘着直升飞机来找我。

她一直坚持把我转移到附近的一家位于洛杉矶的西达赛纳医院。

由另一架直升机运送。

这恰恰是我所需要的！然而安娜是对的。

在洛杉矶医院，我可以得到对于脊椎受损最好的治疗，同时我也开始看精神科医师，因为我非常真实地感觉到“幸存者的罪行”。

安娜有如此好的判断力和直觉，她很少会做出错误的决定。

毕竟她在1958年第一次拯救了我的生命，当时她拒绝让我参与麦克托德这位电影制片人的致命飞行。

1995年当我中风后处于沮丧和自暴自弃时，她再次把我从困境中拯救出来。

安妮的秘诀就是从生活中学习，并学以致用。

她出生于德国的汉诺威市，青年时期，为了躲避法西斯主义逃到了比利时。

接着，她又移居巴黎，靠她的语言才能去工作，从而站住了脚跟。

她精通法语，英语，意大利语，和她的母语德语。

她靠为法语影片配制德语字幕谋生。

1953年我在巴黎主演《爱的行动》，我们就是在那时相识的。

当时我在寻找一名助手，安妮来接受面试。

她穿了一件带白领的蓝色西装，手腕和脚踝纤柔细嫩，显得十分引人注目。

我解释了这个职位，但她礼貌地说：“我想这个工作不适合我。

”我很生气。

在当时，我就是一个美国的电影明星了。

我本以为她会巴不得找到这份工作呢。

不过她总算接受了这个职位，但只答应是暂时性的。

她最终同意和我一起出去，无论如何总算满足了我的初衷。

但那也让我颇费了一番周折。

初次见面之后，我打电话邀请她去图尔・达尔金特吃晚饭，那是巴黎最好的餐馆之一，在那里可以欣赏到仙境般的塞纳河景色。
