The washwoman had a wealthy ungrateful son who did not “ his I could not she easy complained. She quietly wash”help Butmother. But rest neverin my bed because of the did hershe said.“asked no one for not let me die.”work and The wash would help.Intensive Study Intensive Study Difficult sentences Key words phrases usages Comprehension exercisesIntensive Study The Washwoman by Isaac Bashevis Singer1 She was a small woman old and wrink led. When shestarted washing for us she was already past seventy. MostJewish women of her age were sickly and weak. All the oldwomen in our street had bent backs and leaned on stickswhen they walked. But this washwoman small and thin as shewas possessed a strength that came from generations ofpeasant forebears. Mother would count out to her a bundle oflaundry that had accumulated over several weeks. She wouldthen lift the bundle put it on her narrow shoulders and carryit the long way home.Intensive Study2 S he would bring the laundry back about two weeks later.My mother had never been so pleased withany washwoman.Yet she charged no more than the others. She was a real find.Mother always had her money ready because it was too farfor the old woman to come a second time.Intensive Study3 Laundering was not easy in those days. The old womanhad no running water where she lived but had to bring in thewater from a pump. And the drying It could not be doneoutside because thieves would steal the laundry. So it had tobe carried up to the attic and hung on clotheslines. Only Godknows what the old woman had to endure each time she dida washIntensive Study4 She could have begged at the church door or entered ahome for the penniless and aged. But there was in her acertain pride and love of labor with which many members ofthe labor force have been blessed. The old woman did notwant to become a burden and so she bore her burden.Intensive Study5 The woman had a son who was rich. He was ashamed ofhis mother and never came to see her. Nor did he ever giveher money. The old woman told this without bitterness.When the son got married the wedding took place in achurch. The son had not invited the old mother to hiswedding but she went to the church anyway and waited atthe steps to see her son lead the bride to the altar.Intensive Study6 One day the washwoman now nearly eighty years oldcame to our house. A good deal of laundry had accumulatedduring the past weeks. Mother gave her a pot of tea to warmherself as well as some bread. The old woman sat on a kitchenchair trembling and shaking and warmed her hands againstthe teapot. Her fingernails were strangely white. These handsspoke of the stubbornness of mankind of the will to work notonly as one’s strength permits but beyond the limits of one’spower. It was sad to watch the old woman stagger out with thebig bundle and disappear.Intensive Study7 Usually the woman brought back the wash after two or atthe most three weeks. But three weeks passed then four andfive and nothing was heard of the o ld woman.8 For us the washwoman’s absence was a catastrophe. Weneeded the laundry. We did not even know the woman’saddress. It seemed certain that she had collapsed died.Mother declared she had had a premonition that we wouldnever see our things again. We mourned both for the laundryand for the old woman who had grown close to us through theyears she had served us so faithfully.Intensive Study9 More than two months passed. One evening while Motherwas sitting near the lamp mending a shirt the door openedand a small puff of steam followed by a huge bundle entered.Under the bundle tottered the old woman her face as white asa linen sheet. Mother uttered a half-choked cry as though acorpse had entered the room. I ran toward the old woman andhelped her unload her bundle. She was even thinner nowmore bent. She could not utter a clear word but mumbledsomething with her sunken mouth and pale lips.Intensive Study10 After the old woman had recovered somewhat she told usthat she had been ill very ill. In fact she had been so sick thatsomeone had called a doctor and the doctor had sent for apriest. Someone had informed the son and he had contributedmoney for a coffin. But God had not yet wanted to take thispoor soul to Himself. She began to feel better she became welland as soon as she was able to stand on her feet once more sheresumed her washing. Not just ours but the wash of severalother families too.Intensive Study11 “I could not rest easy in my bed because of the wash” theold woman explained. “The wash would not let me die.”12 “With the help of God you will live to be a hundred andtwenty” said my mother.。

“艾米莉?迪金森的诗歌直到她去世后被人承认,”西蒙顿说。“但她不是为了名而写的。詹姆斯?乔伊斯也是如此,他没有多费时间去担心有多少人会读他的《为芬尼根守灵》。”
如今,研究者们有证据证明,对工作的内在热情是出类拔萃的一个关键。现任哈佛大学工商管理教授特蕾莎?阿玛贝尔1985年在布兰代斯大学主持的一项研究中,要求一批专业作家----其中没有一位是有名气的----各写一首短诗。当时每位作家被随机分别编到三个小组中:一个小组要求记住是为金钱而写;另一个小组要求想着只为消遣而写;第三个小组则没有给任何指示。
因此,商人一般当不了好领袖。他们往往是实用主义者,他们认为一旦你说明了某件事情有道理,人们就会去做。但是历史表明这种想法是错误的。当时世变得艰难时,人们不想被得知出了什么问题,不想听人训斥,不想了解许多他们不懂的复杂数据和计划(比如卡特的能源政策)。他们想要受到感动、得到鼓舞、有人激励、有人安慰、感到振奋---总而言之,想有人来领导!
首先,他必须使我们的愿望变得崇高,让我们相信我们正在参与创造伟大的历史,并赋予我们一种荣誉感。温斯顿?丘吉尔通过纯粹的修辞艺术,把英国的失败和1940年的敦刻尔克大撤退变成了大胜利。富兰克林?D?罗斯福的话把美国舰队在珍珠港的沉没变成了动员全国的战斗口号,而不是不光彩的国耻。领袖必须激发我们的热情,而不是唤起我们的理性。
一位中国哲人曾经说过,领袖必须具备优秀舞蹈家的风度,这话很有道理。领袖应该知道如何显得轻松自信。他的步态应该坚定果断。他应该像林肯、罗斯福、杜鲁门、艾克和肯尼迪那样会纵情欢笑,而不是个像尼克松或卡特那样笑得龇牙咧嘴、令人恶心算是心情不错。罗纳德?里根受过的演技训练在他跟卡特的辩论中显示出了良好的效果。他以潇洒自如的举止和显而易见的和蔼可亲成功地给人一种印像,即他事实上是总统而卡特是挑战者。

Who Is Great?Michael RyanAs a young boy, Albert Einstein did so poorly in school that teachers thought he was slow. The young Napoleon Bonaparte was just one of hundreds of artillery lieutenants in the French Army. And the teenage George Washington, with little formal education, was being trained not as a soldier but as a land surveyor.Despite their unspectacular beginnings, each would go on to carve a place for himself in history. What was it that enabled them to become great? Were they born with something special? Or did their greatness have more to do with timing, devotion and, perhaps, an uncompromising personality?For decades, scientists have been asking such questions. And, in the past few years, they have found evidence to help explain why some people rise above, while others—similarly talented, perhaps—are left behind. Their findings could have implications for us all.Who is great? Defining who is great depends on how one measures success. But there are some criteria. "Someone who has made a lasting contribution to human civilization is great," said Dean Keith Simonton, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Davis and author of the 1994 book Greatness: Who Makes History and Why. But he added a word of caution: "Sometimes great people don't make it into the history books.A lot of women achieved great things or were influential but went unrecognized."In writing his book, Simonton combined historical knowledge about great figures with recent findings in genetics, psychiatry and the social sciences. The great figures he focused on include men and women who have won Nobel Prizes, led great nations or won wars, composed symphonies that have endured for centuries, or revolutionized science, philosophy, politics or the arts. Though he doesn't have a formula to define how or why certain people rise above (too many factors are involved), he has come up with a few common characteristics.A "never surrender" attitude. If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. "There's a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal," he explained. "But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It's a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion."He cited Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into office when his country's morale was at its lowest, Churchill rosebrilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired the nation when he said, "We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end...We shall never surrender."Can you be born great? In looking at Churchill's role in history —as well as the roles of other political and military leaders—Simonton discovered a striking pattern: "Firstborns and only children tend to make good leaders in time of crisis: They're used to taking charge. But middle-borns are better as peacetime leaders: They listen to different interest groups better and make the necessary compromises. Churchill, an only child, was typical. He was great in a crisis, but in peacetime he was not effective—not even popular."Timing is another factor. "If you took George Washington and put him in the 20th century he would go nowhere as a politician," Simonton declared. "He was not an effective public speaker, and he didn't like shaking hands with the public. On the other hand, I'm not sure Franklin Roosevelt would have done well in Washington's time. He wouldn't have had the radio to do his fireside chats."Can you be too smart? One surprise among Simonton's findings is that many political and military leaders have been bright but not overly so. Beyond a certain point, he explained, other factors, like the ability to communicate effectively, become more important than innate intelligence as measured by an IQ test. The most intelligent U.S. Presidents, for example—Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson and John F. Kennedy—had a hard time getting elected, Simonton said, while others with IQs closer to the average (such as Warren G. Harding) won by landslides. While political and economic factors also are involved, having a genius IQ is not necessary to be a great leader.In the sciences, those with "genius level" IQs do have a better chance at achieving recognition, added Simonton. Yet evidence also indicates that overcoming traditional ways of thinking may be just as important.He pointed to one recent study where college students were given a set of data and were asked to see if they could come up with a mathematical relation. Almost a third did. What they did not know was that they had just solved one of the most famous scientific equations in history: the Third Law of Planetary Motion, an equation that Johannes Kepler came up with in 1618.Kepler's genius, Simonton said, was not so much in solving a mathematical challenge. It was in thinking about the numbers in a unique way—applying his mathematical knowledge to his observations of planetary motion. It was his boldness that set him apart.Love your work. As a child, Einstein became fascinated with the way magnets are drawn to metal. "He couldn't stop thinking about this stuff," Simonton pointed out. "He became obsessed with problems in physics by thetime he was 16, and he never stopped working on them. It's not surprising that he made major contributions by the time he was 26.""For most of us, it's not that we don't have the ability," Simonton added, "it's that we don't devote the time. You have to put in the effort and put up with all the frustrations and obstacles."Like other creative geniuses, Einstein was not motivated by a desire for fame, said Simonton. Instead, his obsession with his work was what set him apart.Where such drive comes from remains a mystery. But it is found in nearly all creative geniuses—whether or not their genius is acknowledged by contemporaries."Emily Dickinson was not recognized for her poetry until after her death," said Simonton. "But she was not writing for fame. The same can be said of James Joyce, who didn't spend a lot of time worrying about how many people would read Finnegans Wake."Today, researchers have evidence that an intrinsic passion for one's work is a key to rising above. In a 1985 study at Brandeis University conducted by Teresa Amabile, now a professor of business administration at Harvard University, a group of professional writers—none famous—were asked to write a short poem. Each writer was then randomly placed in one of three groups: One group was asked to keep in mind the idea of writing for money; another was told to think about writing just for pleasure; and a third group was given no instruction at all.The poems then were submitted anonymously to a panel of professional writers for evaluation. The poetry written by people who thought about writing for money ranked lowest. Those who thought about writing just for pleasure did the best. "Motivation that comes from enjoying the work makes a significant difference, "Amabile said.当阿尔伯特.爱因斯坦是个小男孩的时候,他在学校里的成绩很差,老师们都觉得他反应迟钝。

21世纪大学英语视听说教程Book 4 Unit 1 Part D 听力原文Section A1. W: Since when do you read the Sunday Times?M: Since I discovered its big help-wanted section.Q: What can we assume about the man?2. W: This coat I bought last week is too big for me. I’d like to exch ange it for a smaller one.M: Let me see. The smaller one is only 9.95, and this one is 12.Q: Approximately how much money does the shop assistant owe the woman?3. M: It would be nice if these last few days of the vacation were sunny and warm.W: But it’s not what they forecast, is it?Q: What does the woman imply about the weather?4. W: How is Susan’s lab experiment coming along?M: I’m not sure, why don’t we go and have a look?Q: What does the man mean?5. W: Y ou didn’t seem terribly enthusiastic a bout the football game.M: Y ou must be joking. If I had shouted any louder, I’d have lost my voice.Q: What did the man think of the football game?6. W: Teddy, how are you finding life on campus this year?M: Much the same as last.Q: What does Teddy mean?7. W: Y ou know, the Browns have invested all their money in stocks.M: They may think that’s a wise move, but that’s the last thing I’d do.Q: What’s the man’s opinion about the Browns investment?8. M: Hello, this is Mike Johnson at the bank. Is Peter there?W: Not yet, Mike. He phoned me from the office 5 minutes ago to say that he was stopping for a haircut on his way home.Q: Where does Peter plan to go on his way home?Conversation 1M: Did you watch the “Television Special” about the adhesive features of barnacles last night? W: No, I missed it. What did you learn about them?M: That they glue themselves to rocks in the ocean, shortly after birth. They also stay in the same place forever.W: Right. Have you ever tried removing one of those things? It would be easier to chip the rock away than to get the barnacle off.M: E xactly! And that’s why scientists are trying to figure out what the barnacle’s glue is made of.It’s consid ered one of the strongest adhesives in nature.W: And it would have the advantage of being able to work on wet surfaces, too.M: Precisely. And because it’s a natural protein, it probably wouldn’t be harmful to people like so many synthetic glues in use today.W: Think of all the ways doctors and dentists could use such glue. Mending broken bones, fastening false teeth.M: There could be countless uses. Scientists hope to learn soon exactly what the glue is made of so that people can make use of it.9. What is the main topic of the conversation?10. What did the man learn about the barnacles?11. According to the conversation, what are scientists trying to discover?Conversation 2M: Excuse me. Have you been waiting long?W: About ten minutes.M: Did you notice whether the No.7 bus has gone by?W: Not while I’ve been standing here. I’m waiting for the No.7 myself.M: Good. Hot day, isn’t it?W: Yes, it is. I wish that it would rain and cool off.M: Me too. This is unusual for March. I don’t remember it ev er being so hot and dry in March before.W: Y ou’re from Florida then.M: Not really. I was born in New Y ork, but I’ve lived here for ten years now.W: My mother and I have just moved here from Indiana.M: Pretty cold in Indiana, isn’t it?W: Y es. That’s wh y we moved. But we didn’t know that it would be so hot here in Florida. We should have gone to California. Do you think that we’ve missed the bus?M: No, it’s always a little late.W: I have twenty to one, but my watch is a little fast.M: Don’t worry. It never comes exactly on the half-hour like it should.12. What is the woman waiting for?13. According to the conversation, what kind of weather is usual for March?14. Where does this conversation take place?15. How often is the bus scheduled to pass their stop?Section BPassage 1As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a timewhen the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a two-week course for 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for 420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, and I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the US are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.16. Why did John Ross decide to build their furniture instead of buying it?17. According to Jim, who should be able to fix his car?18. For those who don’t have time to take a course, how can they learn to become “do-it-yourselfers”?Passage 2Most of us spend high school dissecting frogs and feeling awkward at the occasional dance, but a small group of students in Spain got to do something far cooler with their educational time: they sent a digital camera into space. A teacher and four students from IES La Bisbal School in Catalonia, Spain bought a 60 balloon and fixed an 80 digital camera to it, then sent it up into the sky to capture some high-altitude pictures.The team only wanted to see if they could get their homemade weather balloon to fly to 30,000 feet, which is the altitude that most commercial aircraft fly at. But the balloon just kept climbing until it was 20 miles above the Earth, at the very edge of space. Tracking the balloon’s progress using meteorological sensors and Google Earth, the team kept track of atmospheric conditions and snapped a handful of amazing pictures.The four students and their teacher completed the experiment in February 2009. The team built the electronic sensor components themselves, then placed them, along with the camera, into a protective housing before releasing the rig into the sky.The balloon rose to an altitude of over 100,000 feet before falling back to the ground. The team traveled over 10 km to find the balloon and equipment. They were amazed to find that the equipment was still emitting a signal, despite being exposed to some extremely harsh conditions.19. What did four students in Spain do with their educational time?20. What’s the altitude that most commercial aircraft fly at?21. When did the team complete the experiment?22. After traveling 10 km to find the balloon and equipment, what was the team amazed to find?Passage 3Despite controversy, direct-to-consumer genetic tests are becoming more popular. This kind of genetic tests is more like a do-it-yourself diagnosis. It is becoming almost as easy as taking a home pregnancy test. People can use their credit card to order a set of tools on the Internet, use a brush to remove a few cheek cells, return the tools and receive a report via e-mail. DTC tests cost from a few hundred to a few thousand US dollars, and are available for more than 800 conditionsranging from breast to cancer.The US population may be particularly ready for DTC testing because it has a do-it-yourself ethic and is accustomed to paying out of pocket for healthcare services. Companies that offer genetic tests are enthusiastic about the prospects of widespread DTC testing. They argue that genetic testing is no different from non-DNA tests. But not everyone is thrilled about the ease with which consumers can take genetic tests. Some people worried DTC genetic testing poses dangers to the public. Patients may experience psychological harm since they might not understand what the results mean to them.The lack of regulation in the Internet may also result in a fact that the Web gives you information that could be very misleading and potentially harmful to you. However, many people are comfortable with the lack of regulation as long as a doctor can help them. So what does the future hold for DTC genetic testing? We cannot expect widespread do-it-yourself screening for genetic disease in the years ahead. But we can predict a growth in DTC genetic testing for certain diseases and fully expect that this kind of technology is going to be with us.23. What do we know about direct-to-consumer genetic testing?24. What is one of the reasons that some people worry about the DTC genetic testing?25. How is the future of DTC genetic testing?Section C26. available27. unique28. Specializing in29.
