Summary上册Unit 1 《how to read a book》本文的中心思想是我们读书也是有方法的，要读好书启发我们的心智，不然就是在浪费时间。
The main idea of this article is that we also have a method to read books, to read good books to enlighten our minds, oris a waste of time.因为人的生命时间有限，而一本好书的价值却可以流芳百世。
Because time is limited, the value of a good book will last forever.那么关于怎样读好书作者讨论了很多，其中谈到了关于文学评论和评论家的问题。
So there's a lot of talk about how to read good writers, and there's a lot of talk about literary criticism and critics.作者认为读书不应该仅仅看这些文学评论家写的书评而忽略了这本书本身带给你的感受。
The author believes that reading should not be about reading the reviews of these literary critics and ignoring how the book makes you feel.在你读诗的时候也会有人给你提建议，这群人自己造诣不高却喜欢批判一切，对任何事物都带有偏见。
You will also be given advice as you read the poems, a group of people who are themselves not very accomplished but like to criticize everything and have a prejudice against everything.对待这群人的最好方式就是置之不理，当他们感觉无法劝动你的时候他们就会放弃。

------the pleasures of ignoranceThe author began this essay by telling the experience of waking in the morning and finding a fact that he knew practically nothing about any thing. The quantity of the things he knew was limited except his own experience. However he felt no depress about his ignorance,believing that ignorance would be the greatest help to one. Because sometimes memory is not reliable, ignorance does work at this time,for the ignorant man seldom make inaccurate judgment without making an investigation first. So the ignorance would lead us to learn more.As we know, the author’s attitude is solely and optimistic. But should we feel ashamed or pessimistic while realizing that we are ignoran t? Undoubtedl y,one’s knowledge can be out at elbows sometimes, but we can look up in a textbook or the encyclopedia etc. The information can be quickly accessed in various means. What’s more, there is no need toremember too much detail things,such as the mathematical formula, name s. If we always pay attention on those things,they will never be our prides but burden! So the answer of the question mentioned above is obvious.------Exercise is a state of mind“A sound mind in a sound body”,the author begins this essay by t elling a description of a happy state. And throwing out his own p erspective—body and mind healthy are linked together by exercise. Then the author exemplifies scientists’experiments as evidence to prove e xercise has great effects on our healthy. Regular exercise improves our m ood,decreases anxiety,improves sleep,improves resilience in the face of st ress and raise self-esteem. In addition, exercise may have something to do with gene in a certain degree. This may become a gentle nudge to enc ourage us to exercise. Last,the author believes that the type of exercise do esn’t matter too much,more important is the ability to sustain an ex ercise routine.I accept his view of attitude towards exercise. What we concerned is not the form,but to do or not to do. Nowadays,most of us spend too much time in doors,no willing and motivations drive us to do more exercise. As the saying goes: all roads to Rome. Any type and reasonsthat help you feel like exercise and keep you moving,you can insist on it. Besides,we should form the habit of exercise. Continuing exercise is good to our body and mind healthy.Summary and comment (unit 4)----Rags to rags,riches to richesFrom this essay,“American Dream”i s gradually fading with the development of economy,rather than opportunity as the crux, especially for the native. The idea that American is exceptional in its material opportunity is deeply lodged in the culture. And this also has brought so much motivation for the poor. But now pessimistic spirit has come to dominate the national consciousness and the stiffening of America’s economic is worse than the culture. what’s more,America’s dominant position among those western counties is also becoming unobvious, which also lead challenges among peers depend on their parents. So the real focus of an effort to restore social and economic opportunity in America is to get out of poverty. The author’s advice is paying more attention on education.A kind of culture held in esteem has its irreplaceable advantages. Such as American dream, struggle,risk ,self-determination and material progress are its representations. So the sate that rich children stay rich whereas poor children still stay poor can change. However,with the development of the society ,the change of the environment, the culture is hard to keep. What we need to do is to look for means to maintain the culture in order to be ladders out of poverty. I agree with the author’s advice——improve education.Because it’s effective although we need several generations.Summary and comment(unit 5)-----teaching our children about evilThe author began this essay by asking how to understand the definition of “evil”. In the body, creative and destructive potentials wereraised,which would effect people’s behaviors greatly.our creative potential is to enhance and enrich life,but destructive potential has the opposite result.In the end, with such what’s about evil, the author concludes the text by offering some hows as to teaching our children about evil.According to my understanding, on one hand, there is no absolute good or absolute evil. A thing can be good or evil or both at the same t ime;On the other hand, good and evil have no difference in size. We c an’t deny a thing is good just because it’s too small, such as picking up t he rubbish on the road. Or we can’t say a thing is not evil just because it is a small thing, such as spitting everywhere. Finally, I think good and evil can be transformed sometimes. We can’t say one is good or evil forever. In a word, good and evil is a complicated term. The relationship between them is so difficult to define.we should regard them from an ove rall aspect, don’t treat a thing or a person as good or evil too roughly.。
研究生英语第五单元课文Summary
Summary----Unit 5In the new studies,researchers see creativity in the use of new or unusual elements int a way that is meaningful to others ,rather than completely idiosyncratic.The studies seek to take the study of creativity out of the laboratory and to focus not just on brilliant achievements in the arts and sciences but also on creative acts in all realms of life.One goal of the new research is better understand just what allow a person's inventiveness in certain areas to blossom at some points in life,and to identify factors that stifle or encourage inventiveness.Scientists have found that while a propensity for an exalted state of elation often does spur creative acts,it is usually not those with manic-depressive disease who are the most highly creative.Instead,it tends more often to be family members who have no overt symptoms of disorder.Researches found that people who at different levels displayed different actions based on a study of lifetime creativity.Contrary to conclusions based on earlier research by other scientists,but rather their near relatives,many of whom have very mild signs of the disorder,or who exhibit no symptoms at all.In addition,elated moods let creative people have the drive and ability to execute their ideas.Many among the most creative people are not prone to manic depression and are not related to people with the disorder,the conditionsthat can enhance a person's creativity are being found by psychologists,such as novel circumstances,being engaged in tasks, children whose parents accepting of their creative efforts.However,the pressure of competition,or being watched while one works tend to dampen creativity and competition ,evaluation and surveillance all make people prefer the safest option,hesitating to explore more creative and risky possibilities.。

研究生英语教材下summary
“The End of Something", written by Ernest Hemingway, is a short story about two young people who witness how time can change the world and the people in it.Firstly, the essay describes a town which once very prosperous due to the lumbering, then as time goes by, there were no more logs to make lumber, the mill almost become ruins. Secondly, two lovers, Nick and Marjorie row along the shore. They watch the view, talk and fish to eat. Their relationship used to be flourished. But in the present of the story, Nick and Marjorie have grown apart, they cannot relate as much to each other anymore. At last, Marjorie left; leaving Nick alone, thus led to the theme “the end of something”.The broken mill represents Nick and Marjorie's broken relationship. All what has happened due to the time, things can be changed by the time while we are not aware of. So what should we do? In my opinion, we should cherish all the things around us and make the most used of them. It is not empty words, but must into action, and only in this way can we not regret it when the things leave away from us.The author began the article by telling the experience of waking in the morning and finding him practically ignorant of anything. The author felt pitiable yet not necessarily so depressed about his current store of knowledge .He began to count what he knows and what he is ignorant of. However, it suddenly occurred to him that he is not the only one who is ignorant because no one can know everything, and it is no need for doing that. He is happy that he may be the only one who can face up to the ignorance.Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn, and it is the ignorance that leads us to learn more. As it is said that he must be very ignorant for he answers every questions he is asked.，so we should continue to learn to compensate for our ignorance instead of being overwhelmed by it.Unit 3 Exercise is a state of mind “A sound mind in a sound body is a short, but full description of a happy state in this world”. Nowadays research suggests that there is deep link between body and mind health in order to achieve happy state of mind.In this way, exercise is a state of mind.The author used scientists’ experiments as evidence to show that exercise has exerted great effects on people’s mind health. Regular exercise can improve mood, decrease anxiety and relieve depression. On the other hand, exercise is under genetic control. Genes can influence people’s responses to exercise. In the end, the author advises us to form the habit of exercise. And you needn’t speed too much time on it. Continuing exercise is good to your body and mind health.From the article, we all learn that only a person with regular exercise can have a physical and spiritual health and can overcome pressure and make himself perfection. Whoever finds the starter motor, the genetic wellspring of motivation, he will have found a key to good health. So, just do it from now on.Summary and Comment （unit4）The article begins with the faith that people in American used to believe that “opportunity is the crux of the American ideal”, which makes people think that with hard work and self-determination, they are sure to succeed and realize their dreams. But in recent yearsthe traditional doctrine of “American dream”is seriously challenged, with regard to the economic development. Most important of all, the economic mobility in America is getting lower and lower as compared to any other western country. At last, the rich people stay rich while poor people stay poor, and the effective way may be to improve education, which will definitely have a great effect on economic mobility across generations.It is no doubt that America is a developed country, with its developed economy and service business, but it has many problems together, even more serious than the developing country, so we may not only see its prosperity but also should realize its defect. Everything has two sides, and we should not be confused by its surface.Summary and Comment （unit5）The article firstly questioned how to define the “evil”, and what’s the humanist understand about “evil”. Then the author distinguishes creative and destructive potentials, and then finds social forces that may activate destructive potentials. In the end, with such what’s aboutevil, the author concludes the text by offering some how as to teaching our children about evil.It is probably safe to say that language has a pair of words expressing good and evil. But what really is good, and what really is evil? The answer may vary from people to people, and culture to culture. Actually, the evil and good are relative, they could not exist without each other, there is no absolutely bad man, and also no saint. As boys and girls, we are taught to do good, not evil. To prevent evil, we cannot only attend to our self, but also think about others’feeling, always put yourself into other’s shoes, if it hurt you, it may hurt other person, too. So we should turn our destructive impulse into creativity, to help others in need.。

He develops this article in three parts,the difficulty in finding good books,the significance of poetry and the suggestion to read poetry. The author speaks highly of reading various books. Especially ,the poetry. And he believes that the truth is literature started with poetry. Reading books is time-consuming. In order to save our time and energy,we really need to find good and suitable books.As we know, books have become necessary parts in our daily life.various worlds showed in these books,such as,the charm of Tibet, the friendship between two girls etc. But how to chose books? Taking this problem into consideration ,in my view, a right direction ,biograph or traveling is important. Of course,you can read those types in your leisure time,but not all the time.our own special fields also could not be ignored. About poetry,the author showed us lots of the hows and whys. But to be the truth,I don’t like poetry. Most of the time,the meaning of the poetry is too obscure to understand. But I’m in favor of the author’s viewpoint. If we have interests in poetry,it maybe a wise advice.2、《Recession-proofing your career》To keep a threat awareness in mind and acting for your career are the primary idea of this article. The author develops this text into 2 parts: the necessity for recession-proofing your career and strategies for protecting your career.First, know yourself,including the key skills and the areas of competence.

It takesSummary-and-commentdecades for him to find out that the highest human achievement is reducing inequity. However,reducing inequity is a too complex task, so it is easy to surrender to complexity and quit. The author takes it as an example and tells those graduates: Don’t let complexity stop you. To understand this view,we must look at the way the author how deal with complex problems.When we come across an problem, Bill Gates shows us how to analyze and slove it. Three points: seeing a problem,finding a solution and caring the impact.Bill Gates sincerely give the young graduates a advise:everyone can take on a complex problem and become a specialist on it. Don’t let complexity stop you. This sentence also can be regarded as our motto in our life or work. There are no doubts that various difficulties occur in the future.But escaping frustrations is humanities’nature,which also gives us an explanation about those complains, that is, why i give up halfway once agin? So if you anticipate a wonderful life without any pities.we should really see a problem and cutting through complexity to find a solution.5、《The riddle of time》The author firstly questioned how to define the “time”. But body can find a good definition so far. Time remains a riddle that exists only in our minds. Then the author uses the presentation of time—clock as the main line to tell us time’s development. Clock contains all the wisdom of human beings. In the body of this article, the author lists many famous and influential clocks,such as water clock,pendulum clock,atomic clock ,nature’s clock and body clock. In the end,with such question—have we become slaves to the clock. The author concludes the text by offering david landes’opinion and his own views.What’s the real definition of time? The answer may vary from people and people. Time is a simple but complex concept for everybody. All of us contact with it all the time,which also instructs our life and work. So there is no need to spend all your life to think about it. Because finally we are still in control of how we use time and how itSummary-and-comment affects us.。

第一单元论读书（赵亚莉译）总的来说，书本的寿命要比我们自己长。
常常是写书的人早已化为了一堆黄土而其著作却依旧立在书架上积聚尘土，但恰恰是死后占有这一席之地的欲望促使人们笔耕不坠。
所以，当我们手中摆弄和翻动这些方块形物体的时候，设想我们手里抚弄的不是具体的书本，而是盛着我们自己回归大地的骨灰的瓮，那也没什么不对。
毕竟，写一本书投入进去的，说到底是一个人只有一次的生命。
有人说过进行哲学思考就是一步步趋向死亡。
不管是谁说的，这种说法从几种意义来说都是有道理的，因为一个人绝不会因为写一本书而变年轻。
同样读一本书也不会使人更年轻。
既然如此，我们自然倾向于读好书。
然而，困难在于文学中的“好”是通过区别“坏”来鉴定的。
此外，要写出一本好书，一个作家必须阅读大量平庸读物，否则他是没法找到必要的写作标准的。
这可能就会为坏文学作品在最后审判日为自己辩护的最佳理由。
既然我们精力不济，既然读书很耗费时间，我们就必须找出一个能让我们至少表面上省时省力的方法来。
当然不可否认长时间读一本厚厚的、情节发展缓慢的平庸小说所带来的乐趣，但我们最终目的毕竟不是为读书而读书，而是为了学到点什么。
因此，我们需要一些最大限度地浓缩人生矛盾困境的作品，需要一些在浩如烟海的书籍中类似指南针一样的作品。
当然，这个指南针的职责是由文学评论及评论家们来担当的。
不幸的是，指南针的针摆动得太没谱了。
对某些人来说它指北，而对另一些人来说却是指南。
评论家的问题有三：第一，他可能是个作品低劣的平庸文人，而且就和我们自己一样无知；第二，他可能对某一类作品特别偏爱或者干脆从出版社得到好处；第三，如果他是一个有才华的作家的话，他会将他的评论写成一篇独立于原作的文学作品，在这一点上乔治·路易斯·博尔赫斯就是一个典型例子。
结果，你可能会只读他的评论而不去管他评论的那本书了。
无论何种情况，你都会发现自己漂流在海洋中，紧紧抓住一只你不知道它能漂浮多久的木筏。
安大研究生英语下学期课程summary
Unit One“The End of Something", by Ernest Hemingway, is a short story about two young people who witness how time can change the world and the people in it. The broken mill represents Nick and Marjorie's broken relationship. Once, the mill was the center of the town. The town was a place full of activity. In the present of the story, as the time passed by, the mill lies deserted, as does the relationship between Nick and Marjorie. we can clearly see that time can change everything , when they cannot stay young forever, so the weak foundation of their relationship is torn down and left in pieces. Even though they will meet one day, the love is not there, because the two lovers have their own understanding of love. Just as the story says“the fish wil l not strike anymore, and love is not fun anymore.” The good old past feeling isn't good enough anymore, even one of the lovers does not want give up on catching the love, and still clings to what is left and still hopes for the best. The past has become past, only can we cherish the good memory. What one must focus on is what is, now, and what is to come, tomorrow. One must look beyond what was and look for the love belongs to them.Unit twoIn a general sense, ignorance is a derogatory word. In dictionary, the mean of “ignorance” is “lack of knowledge or information”. Ignorance is a condition or state where a person ignores, disregards, or overlooks knowledge about something. It is when the person is uninformed, is uneducated aboutsomething.At the beginning of the article, the author felt sad of his current store of knowledge after many years’ expensive education. He thought a person would feel comfortable when a he was ignorant. At the end of the article, it suddenly occurred to the author when he has gone his way calm and happy, he may be the only one who is ignorant, for anyone will not admit that he is a ignorant person.No matter how hard we learn, we can’t learn to the end of knowledge. So there is no limit to knowledge, we are all ignorant in this sense. Ignorance is a two-sided coin. From the good side, if we admit our ignorance, we can learn more and improve ourselves in our jobs, ability, and other fields. If we are ignorant and we don’t admit it, we will fall behind the person who admits his ignorance. So in my point of view, whether our ignorance is good or bad, our attitude is a crucial factor.Unit three Summary and commentExercise is a state of mindA sound mind in a sound body, the author begins this essay by telling a description of a happy state. And throwing out his own perspective-body and mind healthy are linked together by exercise. then the author exemplifies scientists’ experiments as evidence to prove exercise has grate effects on our healthy. regular exercise improves our mood, decreses anxiety, improves sleep, improves resilence in the face of stress and raise self-esteem. inaddition, exercise may have something to do with gene in certain degree .this may become gentle nudge to encourage us to exercise .last the author believes that the type of exercise doesn’t matter too much, more important is the ability to sustain an exercise routine .I accept his view of attitude towards exercise. what we concerned is not the form, but to do or not to do .Nowdays , most of us spend too much time in doors, no willing and motivations drive us to do more exercise. As the saying goes :all roads to rome . Any type and reasons that help you feel like exercise and keep you moving ,you can insist on it .besides ,we should form the habit of exercise .continuing exercise is good to our body and mind healthy.UNIT FOURIn this article, the author said“Opportunity is the crux of the American ideal.” People in the American society used to think that they are sure to succeed and make their dreams come true with diligence. But in recent years, “American dream” is seriously challenged. With regard to the economic development, the author holds that America is already a middle-aged country now, and pessimistic spirit has come to dominate the national consciousness. And the economic mobility in America is getting lower and lower compared to other western country. The idea of the “American Dream” is starting to fade since rich children keep rich when poor children stay poor. And at the end ofthe article, the author think we need to get out of poverty for the sake of restoring the spirit, and one effective way is to improve education, which will have a great effect on economic mobility across generations.Because of my limited knowledge of American economics, I can’t make some powerful viewpoints to the economic mobility in USA. But I think opportunity is an important part in American ideal. In America, opportunities are more, and relatively fairer than other areas. On the basis of this, dreams in USA come true more easily than other areas. And education is a significant factor to change the state of “rags to rags”, if children in poor family get opportunity to be educated, they will master advanced skills to get a good job and have a better life. And will it have a great effect on economic mobility, as said in the article? I’m not sure.UNIT FIVEIn every language, there is a pair of words expressing good and evil, but what really is good and evil? Moral relativists think that the standards of good and evil are only products of local culture, custom, or prejudice. Someone think evil cannot exist without good, nor good without evil.We are always taught to do good, not evil, and there are relatively few ways to do good, but there are countless ways to do evil, which is named“Destructive Potentials” and can destroy our and others’ life. The author said there are usually three ways to treat destructive potentials: denial, projection，displacement. To prevent evil, the author of this article argues, we must first know what is truly “evil”, and then find social forces that may activate destructive potentials. On the basis of knowing what’s “evil”, the author offer some hows to teach our children at the end.UNIT SIXAt the beginning of the article, the author pointed out that, due to the financial crisis, economic downturn, the collapse of the banking system, and people thought that free trade would contribute to ever-greater income inequalities, there was a straw in the wind to trade protectionism, a trade war would break out.The author went on to point out that ,a threat of trade protectionism is trade frictions and reducing exports which can cause economic recession. Another threat is the possibility of competitive devaluations. Finally, the authors have some suggestions, he hope that Obama can establish a free trade policy, and face the very real problem of income inequality, and encourage Asian countries to expand domestic demand, especially to China, we should strengthen the social safety network so that consumers feel more secure about not saving so much of their income. The United States can amend the tax program to curb consumption and encourage savings, and produce more to reduce global economic and trade imbalances.The author strongly advocated free trade, and then what are the benefits of free trade? Firstly, through the international exchange of the products, consumers get a higher-level satisfaction. Secondly, through the international division of labor, the national resources can get the best configuration.。
研究生英语summary范文
研究生英语summary范文In the realm of academia, the art of summarizing is a crucial skill that transcends disciplines. As a graduate student, mastering the ability to distill complex information into concise summaries is essential for both academic and professional success.Summarizing an English text requires a deep understanding of the material, the ability to identify key points, and the skill to present them in a coherent and succinct manner. It's about capturing the essence without losing the integrity ofthe original content.A well-crafted summary should be objective, avoiding personal opinions or interpretations. It should reflect the author's main arguments, findings, or themes, and bestructured in a way that is easy for readers to follow.In the context of English literature, a summary might highlight the central conflict, the development of characters, and the overarching themes of a novel. It should also respect the original author's voice and style, ensuring that the summary remains true to the source material.For academic papers, the summary must encapsulate the research question, the methodology, the findings, and the implications of the study. It should be written in a neutral tone, with a focus on clarity and brevity.In the business world, a summary of a report or proposal should outline the problem, the proposed solution, and the expected outcomes. It should be persuasive, yet concise, designed to inform and influence decision-makers.The length of a summary can vary, but it's generally shorter than the original text, often by half or even more. The key is to prioritize information, ensuring that every sentence contributes to the overall understanding of the material.Lastly, a good summary is not a substitute for reading the original text.

He calls on the people of the whole world to unit and work for the freedom of men. He adopts clear different policy to different kind of nations. Firstly, he introduces the general statement of the basic policy of the US. Then he addresses different groups of allied nations and would-be allied nations, his friends and would-be friends. He makes clear his specific policy towards them. And he states his specific policy toward the enemy. At last, he concludes the address.From my point of view, this address is impressive and outstanding. First, this address is very inspiring owning to different rhetorical devices are used. Second, Kennedy is very particular and careful in his choice and use of words. At last, there are lots of good sentences and difficult sentences in this speech. Like the sentence: my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country has been used extensively.As for the views shows in his speech, I can’t agree with some extreme views to some extent. It’s no doubt that we must try our best to oppose any foe in order to assure the success of liberty and human-rights. However, we must also realize the so-called universal values are not suitable for all the countries. Sometimes these values are abused to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.。

❖ The writer finds that women are unequal to men in every way. (They are underprivileged and put under social and moral restrictions. )He believes that an exploration into biomass energy can shed light on the synergy between gender, poverty and environment issues.
❖ At the same time, women become more vulnerable as victims of indoor air-pollution. They can access fewer resources of biomass energy due to privatization of communal lands.
❖ To begin with, environmental deterioration like deforestation reduces biomass energy dramatically, sending poor women to collect wood fuel for long hours instead of studying or working, perpetuating their poverty.
❖ The writer calls for forward-looking strategies to integrate gender into environmental analysis. To be more specific: Allow more participation in environmental policies and actions on women's part; put the government priority on fostering gender equity and subsidize it; resort to a scientific paradigm as well as a social approach in the environmental analysis.

研究生英语教程summarySummary & response paper In “We Need a Dug-out Canoe to Navigate the Net,” Ben Macintyre discusses the magnitude of suggestions on how to survive the modern era when the torrent information is compelling us to transform the way of thinking.We are now on the cusp of a dawn of new digital technology that is changing the way people think. Firstly Ben Macintyre puts forward his point that People of the Internet age are fox-thinkers, since just like foxes, they feast on a variety of ready-made information and thoughts without collecting and extracting by themselves.However, the internet has both merits and demerits for human thinking. At its worst, fox-thinking tends to mistake anecdote for fact. At its best,the internet provides convenient and fast means to collect boundless information. Then the article further explains that the key for effective Internet thinking is the ability to focus and edit,to choose and sift from the abundance of information what is useful,but not to simply gather information. Finally the author concludes that what has changed is not the way we think, but the way we acquire information. Consequently, he describes two distinct methods of boat building and reminds us that we should be dug-out canoe builders discarding unnecessary information to reveal the truth and only by this way can we confidently stay afloat “in the torrent of internet information”.As the author puts it:“The internet is changing the ve ry nature of human memory”.Indeed,the ability to focus,edit,and extract information from the computer is taking the place of an individual’s knowledge.Under this circumstance,what counts are how to discover useful information by using a critical mind.I fi rmly agree with Ben Macintyre’s opinion that people should be d ug-out canoe builders.Since we receive so much information when we turn on computers in our daily life.With facing to the internet applications such as amazon,qq,weibo etc, we even can’t help clicking and browsing in spite that these things are none of our business. However, the internet makes our life much more convenient and efficient,with dramatically improved access to boundless information,the great store of the world’s kno wledge just a f ew keystrokes and clicks away, what we should do is grasp skills of collecting available information and getting rid of futile information.。

上册Summary of Unit2(Recession-proofing your career) in the text,the author firstly tries to tell us that guaranteed jobs have already become history.These days,no matter what our official employment status,we are all temporary workers. But there is much that you can do to protect yourself from change and economic upheaval,by equipping yourself with the skills to manage your career more effectively.She then suggests some skills.She recommends discovering both your overt and covert talents,making sure that a wide range of positions are available to you,and never committing to any“hot job”which exceeds either your interest or talent.Moreover,you should cultivate and maintain an active network both inside and outside of your profession,to“market”yourself,to convince the employer that you are the most suitable candidate for the job.Finally,always follow work trends.I am bound to face the work dilemma in the future sooner or later.I quite agree with the author’s opinion.There is no reason for us to stop learning when we are working.The author’s suggestions will help me much in the foreseeable future.翻译：在文中，作者首先试图告诉我们，保证工作已经成为历史，如今，不管我们在职场从事的是什么工作，我们都只是临时工。
但是你可以学习一些技能来更有效地规划自己的事业，使自己免受变化和经济震荡的影响。
她提出一些技能。
她建议，发现你的显性和隐性的人才，确保广泛的职位提供给你，决不承诺任何“热门工作”而超过你的兴趣或才能。
你应该在自己的行业内外建立和维持一个活跃的人际网络，来“推销”自己，说服雇主，你是最合适的求职者。
最后，总是遵循工作趋势。
我迟早要面对这个工作的窘境。
我完全同意作者的观点。
当我们工作的时候，我们没有理由停止学习。
作者的建议将在可预见的将来，我有很多的帮助。
Summary of Unit3(Lies)People usually have very negative views regarding lies.Liars are frequently criticized,even cursed.Yet this passage exemplifies a different perspective,one which cruelly reveals the fact that everyone tells lies.We can not live without lying and the lies direct out thoughts and the truth.We need our lies to mask our fear and anxiety about life and death----about the many things we do not understand and control.Lies make us feel superior to other species.Religions abound with myths and tales,which are basically lies that provide human beings with a sense of safety.People need big lies,because lying disguises our mortality,our inadequacies,our fears and anxieties,our loneliness in the midst of the crowd.I just agree the author’s views in a certain degree.People say some white lies,but it is moral problems if a person always tells lies.No one would like a man who never speaks the truth.Lies can not make our life,also can not let the world better.Which can make the world better only the more beautiful heart.翻译：人们通常对谎言有很消极的看法。
骗子经常被批评，甚至被诅咒。
然而，这篇文章是一个不同的视角，一个残酷的事实，揭示了永远人都说谎。
我们不说谎就无法生存。
谎言指导我们的日常思想和行动，构成我们的“现实”。
我们需要用谎言掩饰我们对生死，对许许多多我们不能理解、不能控制事物的恐惧和焦虑。
谎言让我们感觉到比其他物种更优越，宗教与神话和传说有关，这基本上是为人类提供的安全感。
人需要谎言，因为说谎掩盖了人的必死性，缺陷，恐惧，焦虑，以及在熙熙攘攘的人群中所感到的孤独。
我只在一定程度上同意作者的观点，人们会说一些无伤大雅的小谎言，但是如果一个人总是说谎就是品德有问题。
没有人会喜欢满嘴胡言的人。
谎言无法构成我们的生活，也不会让世界更美好，能让世界更美好的只有更美好的心灵。
下册Summary of Unit1(When Goodness Isn’t Good Enough) In this paper,the author first gives the definition of goodness.Then he suggest that in the modern world,goodness suffer.Because the modern world has broken the limit on the needs to which i can respond.It has broken the limits on the demands that can be made upon me.But it hasn’t broken the limits on my time and my energy.So,we may put on blinders and refuse to recognize the unmet needs within ourselves,in our loved ones,and in the world at large.I need to find a way to live within those limits----shamelessly,guiltlessly,with a sense of well being and self-worth.Finally,the author proposed a new vision of the good life.It’s a vision in which each person finds her or his own special passion,makes that the center of a single open-ended commitment,and says to all other good causes:”this far and no farther.”I basically agree with the author's point of view.Now society is too busy,and in the care of others,we should first do our own thing.翻译：在文中，作者先给出了过去好人的定义。
接着，作者提出在现实世界中，好人的日子可不好过。
因为现代世界人们对需求的回应似乎没有尽头，对人们的要求也没完没了。
而人们的时间精力是有限的。
所以对那些我们自己，所爱的人，以及整个社会难以实现的愿望不妨带上眼罩——视而不见。
我们需要找到一种方法，使得我们能在“力不从心”的限制中泰然处之——既无羞愧之心，也无负罪之感，怡然自得，知足而乐。
最后作者提出了“善良人生”的新观点：那就是每个人先确定自己对哪些事情最有热情，再围绕这些事情制定一项长远目标，然后对其它的伟大事业挥手止步。
我基本同意作者的观点。
现在社会太繁忙了，在关心别人之前，我们首先应该做好自己的事情。
Summary of Unit2(The Pleasures of Ignorance) In a general sense,ignorance is a derogatory word.But in this article,the author puts forward a different point of view:ignorance also have pleasure.first，he suddenly realized that outside of the range of his immediate experience,and such deductions of cause and effect as seem to be constant when he come into contact with them,he know next to nothing----and that at the end of an elaborate and costly education.Then,he say that his ignorance dose him no harm.In fact,such a premium has our civilization put upon ignorance;he get along very comfortably indeed.No matter how hard we learn,we can’t learn to the end of knowledge.So we are all ignorant in this sense.Ignorance is not a shame,it is a shame that you do not acknowledge your ignorance.So in my opinion,whether our ignorance is good or bad,our attitude is a crucial factor.翻译：在一般意义上，无知是一个贬义词。
