Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. Understanding the Organization of the Text1) Introduction: (Para.1)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (Para.2&3)People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence.People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (Para.4-15)i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses.ii) Set reasonable goals.iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame.iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view.v) Do not make negative comments about yourself.vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully.vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences.viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate.ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly.x) Practice being in social situations.4) Conclusion: (Para.16)The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.2. Understanding Specific Information1) F2) F3) T4) T5) T6) F7) T8) F9) F10) T3. Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways. Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience.Vocabulary1. Self- is a prefix which means ―of, to or by oneself or itself.‖Words with the prefix self- that appear in the text: self-conscious, self-concept, self-assurance, self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-destructive, self-awareness, self-accept103fance, self-rejection, self-confident1) self-conscious (worried and embarrassed about what you look like or what other people think of you)2) self-confidence (belief in one’s own ability, power, judgment, etc.; confidence in oneself)3) self-esteem (the feeling that you are someone who deserves to be liked, respected, or4) self-destructive (with thoughts or actions that are counter to one’s own best interests)5) self-worth (the value you give to your life and achievements)6) self-concept (one’s conception or general idea of one’s own basic character and nature)7) self-awareness (realistic knowledge and judgment about oneself)8) self-assurance/self-confidence (the belief that you are able to deal with people and problems easily)2.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather.103fTortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself ―All of you.‖ When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presen ted to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: ―For whom have you prepared all this feast?‖ The man replied: ―For all of you.‖ So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going to the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise: You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again. Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you. Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us. Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast? Skypeople: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first. Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking Sides篇二:新编大学英语第三册课文翻译Unit 1羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说,羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

Unit 9Part OneAlice: Listen! The sound of that music! It...it's fascinating! Where...where is it from?Xiao Hong: Oh, I...I don't know actually.Henry: Over there! Shall we go take a closer look?Alice & Xiao Hong: OK.Xiao Hong: Oh, it's a kind of Chinese folk instrument called pipa.Alice: Wow, what a beautiful musical instrument!Xiao Hong: Sure.Henry: What's more, it makes such a marvelous sound!Xiao Hong: Oh, I'm glad to hear you say that. Actually, our folk instruments are quite unique. You know, the sound is beautiful and, as you see, it looks good. But, still, unfortunately, they are getting less popular these days.Alice: Really? That's incredible. You know, our Scottish bagpipes, which are some of the oldest instruments in the world, are still quite popular.Xiao Hong: Well, I'm afraid it's not the case in our country. Y ou know, I'm not exaggerating. Nowadays the vast majority of young people prefer western music to Chinese folk music, and they think Chinese folk music and classical instruments are old-fashioned.Henry: What a pity! Many people listen to bagpipes and they are heard on all kinds of different occasions. I wonder why Chinese folk instruments, as old as those bagpipes, are so little appreciated today.Xiao Hong: Well, I think historic reasons may partly account for it. You know, in ancient times, most of the Chinese folk instruments were used to please and entertain the nobles. You know, they were too expensive for ordinary people to own and play unless the poor played them in the street to earn a living.Alice: I know that some Chinese emperors loved music and had a good taste in it.Xiao Hong: Oh, yes, like Tang Xuanzong, but his ministers were firmly opposed to it. They believed that the emperor's attention might be distracted from ruling the country if he spent too much time on music. And they seemed to think of music as something trifling and unimportant. Henry: But things are quite different in our country. Our people are extremely interested in music, and are very proud of our traditions. We view music as part of our lives.Alice: Y eah, and our government spends a lot of money on music education. In the year 1999——2000 for example, the Department of Education spent 1.5 billion dollars on teaching music 1999so that lots of children had the chance to learn to play musical instruments.Xiao Hong: I do wish that more people would appreciate the exquisite melody of our folk instruments and be proud of our traditions.Henry: What's the difference between western music and Chinese music?Xiao Hong: Well, young people think that western music is more exciting and passionate. The rhythm is stronger, which makes them feel more excited. Well, on the other hand, the Chinese music is harmonious, soft, gentle, mild and calm. It helps make people feel peaceful, comfortable and relaxed.Alice: Y es, there are differences between Chinese music and...and western music, but one isn't really better than the other.Xiao Hong: No, no, no. Absolutely not. When I listen to Chinese music, the beautiful melodyalways reminds me of the beauty of nature, hills, streams, small bridges and the singing of birds. You know, the melody is like the music of the nightingale, the music of running water and etc. But western music is more upbeat and exciting. I get full of energy and I want to dance and sing with it. I like rock music better than folk music actually.Henry: Rock and roll has a long history in western countries. There are plenty of bands playing different kinds of rock and roll music, like heavy metal and punk.Xiao Hong: And most of our Chinese musical instruments are made of wood, bamboo or something like that, so the music sounds natural while yours nowadays are mostly made of metal and they seem to be much more complex.Alice: Right. Take our flutes for example. They have more holes and buttons, so they rely on very precise notes to produce music.Xiao Hong: What's more, western singers are usually good at dancing while they sing, but our singers are usually only good at singing.Henry: I suppose because of cultural differences, Chinese, like their music, are usually more reserved.Xiao Hong: There are still some people who prefer Chinese folk music. The pop music nowadaysis increasingly dominated by western music.Alice: I guess people are immediately attracted to western music, but Chinese music has the mysterious power to attract you without you realizing it.Xiao Hong: Y eah, Chinese traditional culture has made a deep impact on Chinese music. Y ou know, the music emphasizes people's feelings and is very emotional.Alice: I've heard that the structure of western music is more logical than that of Chinese music.Xiao Hong: I find that the lyrics are different too. Chinese people tend to express their emotions indirectly while western people are more direct and individualistic. They make full use of music and instruments to express their personal feelings, such as excitement, disappointment, love, sorrow and etc.Henry: Western music has absorbed many musical elements from African music. It places great importance on rhythm, such as heavy metal music, rock music, hip hop and so on.Alice: Yes, and, of course, we have a number of well-known composers these days.Henry: Mm, nowadays it seems that rock and pop music dominate the musical world. In many pieces of music, one instrument can be used in order to produce a distinct sense of perception.Xiao Hong: I guess, eventually, because of globalization, the differences between western music and Chinese music may become less noticeable. You know, in the future, the music may have a lot more in common than we have realized now.Alice: Oh, as far as pop music is concerned, what you say is probably true, but even though musicis a universal language, folk music shouldn't be changed.Xiao Hong: That's right. Don't you think it would be a good idea to buy some Chinese folk music CDs to take home with you?Alice & Henry: That's a good idea! Let's go to the CD shop.Exercise 21.C2.C3.C 4,W 5,W 6.C 7.C 8.C 9.C 10,W 11.W 12.W 13.C 14.W 15.W 16.C 17.W 18.WExercise 31.perfer old-fashioned2.as old as3.account for4.own play earn to living5.very proud of6.1.5 billion had the chance7.hillls small bridges singing of birds8.full of energy9.holes buttons precise notes 10.indirectly individualistic 11.places great importance12.a universal languagePartTwo Listening I(Bill, Howard, and Lisa are talking about background music.)Part IBill: What are you working on now?Howard: I've just finished a piece of background music.Lisa: Background music? Oh, like the music they're playing here now. Howard: Yes. You hear it everywhere, in restaurants, airports, supermarkets, department stores... Bill: In banks, too. I noticed it while we were at the bank today.Lisa: Did you? I didn't.Howard: Y ou are not supposed to notice it. It's just there, in the background. It's supposed to influence your attitudes, and put you in the right mood.Lisa: I'm not sure I like that idea.Howard: Well, it seems to work. Companies pay millions of dollars every year for background music. It's supposed to give you a better feeling about yourself and the people around you. Factories use it a lot. It makes the workers happy, and they work better that way. In one factory, music increased production by 4.5 percent.Bill: I should think they'd get tired of hearing music all day.Howard: They don't though. One fellow in San Francisco told me, "If the music stops, somebody always runs to the telephone to complain."Lisa: Now that I think about it, I can't remember when there wasn't background music in restaurants and stores.Howard: That shows how young you are. Actually, it all started during World War II when some factories had their own orchestras to keep workers happy and calm. Now, of course, the music is piped in by a machine, and different kinds of music are played at different times during the day. They play faster music at 10 in the morning than at 8, for instance, because workers tend to be slower then.Part IIBill: What about restaurants? Do they play the same music for dinner and lunch?Howard: I don't know about that, but I do know that hamburger places play fast music. When they started playing faster music, they found that a customer spent only seventeen minutes eating. The time was 22 minutes before that.Lisa: So they have more people coming in and out to buy hamburgers.Howard: Exactly. And that's good for business. You can see why music has become so popular. In Los Angeles, for instance, 30 different companies are selling background music services. Lisa: I still think there's something about it that I don't quite like.Howard: I know what you mean, but lots of people wouldn't agree with you. The Xerox Corporation in Rochester, N. Y Corporation in Rochester, N. Y., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons ., spends more than $80,000 a year for background music. Prisons use it, and farmers use it to keep their cattle calm. It's even supposed to have an effect on plants.Exercise 11.restaurants airports supermarkets 12,attitudes in the right mood the people around him happy work better 3.World War II happy calm a machine kinds of music different times faster slowerExercise 21.T2.F3.F4.T5.T6.F7.T8.FListening IIMore and more doctors are operating to music. They say it eases their minds.One doctor in Chicago says classical music is the only kind that does not interfere while he is operating. But in another Chicago operating room, the British rock group Pink Floyd can be heard. And in Washington, at least one doctor operates to the sound of the Beatles.Researchers from the State University of New Y ork at Buffalo did a study that seems to confirm that music helps reduce tension in doctors. They gave fifty male doctors difficult mathematical kinds of tests.The doctors did the test while listening to music they themselves had chosen. They did a similar test while listening to music that was chosen for them. They were tested a third time with no music at all. Each time, a machine measured their heart rate and blood pressure.The doctors worked most quickly and calmly when listening to the music they themselves had chosen. They did the worst with no music at all.What kinds of music did the doctors choose? Mostly classical. But some chose instrumental jazz pieces or Irish folk music.There probably is one piece of music that should never be played during an operation: Brahms' "Lullaby". You do not want your doctor to go to sleep while operating, do you? Exercise 11.eases their minds operations2.classical instrumental jazz folk music3.A reduce tension B. 50/fifty male doctors C. Mathematics D.1)quickly 2)calmly 3)chosen for them 4)No music 5)the worst E. sleepyExercise 21.T2.F3.T4.F5.FPart ThreePractice OneThe Beatles were probably the most important pop and rock group of all time. They were together for only eight years, but their influence has lasted much longer.The Beatles came from Liverpool, England. They started playing together in 1962, although Paul McCartney and John Lennon played together in another group. They started by playing rock'n' roll songs, but they quickly developed their own style. By 1963, they had become Britain's top rock group. A year later they toured the United States, where they attracted millions of fans.By the time the Beatles broke up in 1970, they had changed the nature of rock and pop music. They introduced new sounds and rhythms, and they experimented with different types of musical instruments. They recorded hundreds of songs and they sold millions and millions of records. They made many films and won many awards for their music.Today, the Beatles' songs are still very famous all over the world.Exercise 1B D A CExercise 21.their own style2.the nature3.sounds experimented4.songs records5.films awardsPractice Two(Dennis is interviewing Stephanie, a music teacher.)Dennis: Which do you think is the easiest instrument for people to learn to play?Stephanie: It's difficult to answer that question because learning to play an instrument is one thing, and learning to play it well is another. But I think the guitar is the easiest to learn. It's one of the easiest to carry, and that's important for a musician.Dennis: And the second?Stephanie: My second choice is probably the most popular instrument, and I think it's the most satisfying, too, because you can make more progress at the beginning. That's the piano.Dennis: So you think playing the piano's more difficult than playing the guitar.Stephanie: Yes, because, well, your left hand has to work as hard as your right and both hands have to make notes. With the guitar, you make the notes with the left hand, and the right just picksthe strings.Dennis: Is playing a woodwind or brass instrument very difficult? It looks quite easy.Stephanie: I think the clarinet and the trumpet are the easiest to learn. Finding the notes is quite easy and breathing isn't a serious problem. But I find all the wind instruments less satisfying for people to play, because you can't do much alone. You have to play with others.Dennis: And which do you think is the most difficult instrument to play?Stephanie: No doubt at all, the violin. And I think it's the most difficult because both hands have to work, but they have to do different jobs. I mean, the left hand makes the notes on the strings, andit's harder to find the notes than on the guitar because the strings are shorter. The right hand has to manage the bow, and bowing well is an art. Finally, the most difficult thing about it, I find, is holding the instrument under your chin. It's not a natural position to adopt.Exercise 11.(1)trumpet (2)piano (3)violin 2(2)piano (1)clarinetExercise 21.picks the strings2.as hard as3.makes the notes4.on the strings5.manages the bowExercise 31.learn2.carry3.popular4.satisfying5.progress6.easiest7.less satisfying8.most difficultPractice Three(Four people, Steve, Connie, Diane, and Martin, are giving their opinions about their favorite musicians before attending an international concert.)Steve: Oh, no doubt about it. My favorite's Bruce Springsteen. He's the best there is. I think he's more direct, he communicates better than the others. It's not that the others are bad, but he's better.In a way his kind of rock music's more old-fashioned than, er, Sting's, say, but for me it's moreexciting. And the messages in his songs are simpler. They're easier to understand than Sting's or Peter Gabriel's, so I can relate to them better.Connie: The singer I want to hear most is Peter Gabriel. He's not really one of my favorite singerssingers——I mean I don't think he's as exciting as Bruce Springsteen, for instance—but his latest songs, these African songs with African rhythms, well, they're more musical than pop songs usually are. And I think all the singers are sincere about the human rights movement, but he feels more deeply about it than the others.Diane: Oh, I think Sting and his band are the best. Sting's better now with his new band than during his time with the Police. He seems more natural and I think he enjoys playing more. And he's a much better songwriter now. The one I like most in the band is the sax-player, Branford Marsalis. He plays brilliantly, but the best thing about him is his sense of humor. He really makes me laugh!Martin: To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward most to hearing Youssou N'Dour. I like Peter Gabriel's African songs, but he's an Englishman, not an African, so it's not the same as the real thing. I mean, real African music is different from reggae and rock, because it's more rhythmic than reggae, but not as heavy as rock. The rhythms are very unusual, too, and more sophisticated than people think.Exercise 11.T 2,T 3,T 4.F 5.F 6.F 7.F 8.TExercise 2Musicians BruceSpringsteen Sting PeterGabrielBranfordMarsalisYoussouN’Dourbrilliant √ communicative √direct √exciting √musical √natural √Not so heavy √ humorous √rhythmic √ simpler √ sophisticated √ unusual √Practice FourIt has long been known that Cellist Yo-Yo Ma possesses astonishing musical talent. By age seven he had already played for Isaac Stern and Pablo Casals. Later he went to Juilliard and on to Harvard, where he studied international cultures. Soon he tasted stardom, giving concerts around the world.But he tells of a humbling experience while in Namibia, where he went to observe trance dances and musical rituals of the people. At the end of his stay he produced a cello and offered them a performance of his own. "They said, 'Stop. Don't play. We want to play for you, '" Ma remembers with a laugh. "I think I was too self-important to bring my cello. They didn't give adamn."His story is one of a star realizing that not everyone knows or cares who he is. "To be a good performer, you have to have a very strong ego," he says. "But to be a really good performer, you have to make sure that your ego is not the center. To play Beethoven, you have to figure out who he was, and how that's encoded in the music. And then you have to realize you are not Beethoven."Exercise 11.A2.B3.A4.C5.AExercise 21.T2.N3.T4.F5.TPart FourSection 1Some people called John Lennon the "thinking man's Beatle". He was serious and creative, and many young people of the 1960s and 1970s thought he spoke for them.Lennon was born on October 9,1940, in Liverpool, England. During his childhood he listened to the music of rock 'n' roll singers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard. At 15, when he was in an art school, Lennon started his first band, the Quarrymen. The band included Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Pete Best, a drummer.The Quarrymen later changed their name to the Silver Beatles and then the Beatles. Ringo Starr replaced Pete Best as drummer. Between 1958 and 1962 the group played in nightclubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, West Germany. Then the Beatles made a record called "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and changed the history of rock 'n' roll.Many people think that Lennon was the most important singer and songwriter of the Beatles. In general, his songs are sensitive and intelligent, and they still influence today's popular musicians.On December 8, 1980, a confused young man shot John Lennon outside his apartment building in New York City. A few days later, thousands of people gathered in New York's Central Park to remember him. For them, and for many other people in the world, he was someone very special.1.T2.F3.F4.T5.F6.T7.T8.TSection IIRock began in the U.S.A. in the early 1950s. At that time, "rhythm and blues" music was very popular with black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast lyrics.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this new white R&B music, called "rock 'n' roll", had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock 'n' roll was very dangerous.Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. There are "heavy metal" which is extremely loud with hard rhythms, "reggae" from Jamaica that combines rock with jazz and Latin rhythms, "rap" that hasdeveloped on the streets of New York, "disco", a type of soft rock music for dancing, "Afro-rock" that combines rock with African rhythms, "Mex-rock", which combines rock with traditional Mexican melodies...and many, many more.1 2√ 3 4√ 5 6 7√ 8√ 9 10√ 11 12√Section IIIBig Big Worldby Emilia*I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do do feel that I do do will miss you muchMiss you muchI can see the first leaf fallingIt's all yellow and niceIt's so very cold outsideLike the way I'm feeling inside(Repeat the part marked with "*".)Outside it's now rainingAnd tears are falling from my eyesWhy did it have to happenWhy did it all have to end(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I have your arms around meWarm like fireBut when I open my eyes, you're gone(Repeat the part marked with "*".)I'm a big big girl in a big big worldIt's not a big big thing if you leave meBut I do feel I will miss you muchMiss you much1.falling2.nice3.cold4.inside5.raining6.tears7.happen8.arms9.fire 10,gone。

新编大学英语3课文翻译 Unit 5、6、 8、9第五单元,我是怎样识字的3 你可曾在航海时遇上过有浓雾的时候?你仿佛被困在了触手可及的一片白茫茫中,不见天日。

你乘坐的巨轮,靠测深锤或测深线的指引,举步维艰地靠向海岸,既紧张又焦急不安;而你则心里砰砰直跳,等着有事要发生。

而我在接受教育之前正像那巨轮,所不同的是我连指南针或测深线都没有,更无从知晓离港湾还有多远。

我的心灵在无声地疾呼:“光明!给我光明吧! ”而就在此时此刻,爱的光芒洒在了我的身上。

(考原课文填空,英文,注意新单词) 9 那天我学会了很多新词。

现在我已记不清都是些什么词了,但我还记得其中有“妈妈、爸爸、姐妹、老师”。

这些词使得整个世界就像有了“亚伦的神杖,充满了鲜花”,为我绽开。

在这个重要的日子快要结束时,已很难找到一个比我更加幸福的孩子。

我躺在自己的小床上,回味着这一天所给予我的欣喜;渴望着新的一天的到来,这是我有生以来从未有过的期盼。

(考课文英翻汉)第六单元,人和动物的好斗性1 人类肯定是所有动物中最好斗和最残忍的。

我们会说暴徒的行为就“像野兽”,然而事实上,没有任何一种动物象人类那样残暴。

当领域性的动物或鸟类侵入了别的同类动物的领地时,后者只会做一些表示敌意的姿态以吓跑入侵者。

但是,万一有争斗,任何一方都不会受重伤,因为败方会做出姿态表示投降以便保全性命。

一般情况下,动物之间只会为了觅食而杀戮,同类动物之间自相残杀是极少见的。

(考课文英翻汉)2 然而,如果动物发现自己处于异常环境下,它会表现出特别地富有攻击性。

有一只老虎从丛林跑到村庄来,袭击了人,后来人们发现原来它的爪子受了伤,使它显然不能像平时那样去猎食。

假如不是因为受伤,这只虎毫无疑问还会呆在丛林里,并像往常那样去猎取食物。

关在动物园笼子里的动物,往往会比在野外时更加寻衅好斗。

比如说,关在笼子里的狮子一旦能自由自在地徜徉在非洲的大草原上,那么它会一直活力充沛,长途游弋,与家族同类一起追捕食物。

我们每个人都在不同的地方体重因素,可考虑某些阶段的职业规划,在不同的时间。

职业规划包括收集有关自己和了解职业,估计各种可能的结果的行动,最后,选择的替代品,我们认为有吸引力的和可行的。

2、许多观察家指出,学生是不是非常有效的职业生涯规划。

他们列举的证据表明,大多数学生中选择一种十分狭隘集团的职业;多达40至百分之六十选择专业职业,而实际上只有15日至18日的百分之劳动力从事专业工作;年轻人表现出惊人的缺乏兴趣的文书,销售,服务等职业,尽管这些领域提供了许多就业机会;多达三分之一的学生无法表示任何选择职业。

3、在书中决策,欧文詹尼斯和莱昂曼确定中存在的严重缺陷的方法很多人作出决定。

这些缺陷似乎与模式的人使用,以应付的问题。

第一个漏洞是自满。

谁无视人民挑战的信息作出的选择,他们表现出的自满。

人们谁采取的态度是“这不会影响我”或“这绝不会发生”使用自满为主导的模式行事。

当然,自满是适当的任何决定,其中任何事关重大,但这并不说明职业生涯的决定。

4、第二个漏洞,人们应付决定是防御撤销。

当面对的是一个决定,并不能认为他们可以找到一个可以接受的解决办法,有些人保持冷静,通过诉诸一厢情愿或白日梦。

学生谁不想想影响他们的职业选择往往从事合理化(欺骗自己与自我满足,但不正确的解释,一个人的行为)或拖延(推迟或拖延)。

面临的形势可能会产生焦虑,但检查的替代品也可提供救济。

5、第三个漏洞是hypervigilance 。

这发生在职业生涯决策当人们认为,没有足够的时间来寻找解决办法,他们的恐慌。

他们疯狂地寻找职业的可能性和抓住匆忙发明的解决办法,忽略了他们所选择的后果以及其他替代方案。

新编大学英语3课文翻译及课后习题答案

新编大学英语3课文翻译及课后习题答案

Unit 1 Personality羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说,羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。

羞怯的人会焦虑不安,感到不自然;也就是说,他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。

脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法:我给人留下的是什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我讲话是不是傻里傻气?我长得难看。

我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。

很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。

一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中,而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。

通常,人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。

例如,具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。

而由于自信,他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励,也能使自己感觉良好。

自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。

有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害;他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。

相反,他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。

相比之下,羞怯的人自尊心较弱,往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。

他们(是否)在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。

害羞的人对批评非常敏感;他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。

他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴,因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。

羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞:“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。

我知道这不是真的。

”显然,尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质,过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢?幸运的是,人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。

由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的,因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。

例如,大多数人希望每门功课都得A。

如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难,就把自己列为差生,这不恰如其分。

人们对自己的期望必须现实。

老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能,甚至产生嫉妒。

当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时,我们正在自我否定。

Unit 9 MusicIn-Class Reading Music to Your Gear参考译文音乐与开车安迪·埃利斯1 尽管音乐能使你胸中的怒气平息,但是开车时听音乐也会损害你的健康。

近期研究表明,听声音很响的音乐会严重地影响司机的注意力,而且心理学家也提醒人们,不断地在车里放这种音乐是很危险的,尤其是处于车流中或在高速公路上开车时。

2 音乐有两个极端,任何一个极端都有可能带来危险。

重金属音乐以其强烈的节奏会使人莽撞驾驶,而聆听处于另一个极端的优美的、令人舒心的音乐,会使司机过分放松,以至于丧失安全意识,陷入迷迷糊糊的欲睡状态。

3 英国汽车协会一直关注道路安全,它委托搞了一个项目,研究严重车祸与音乐之间的关系。

这项研究发现,17至25年龄段的男人是最危险、最易产生车祸的群体。

研究还发现,这个群体的人70%的开车时间都在听音乐。

4 快节奏或重金属音乐要是放得很响,会使人易怒好斗,开起车来就会冲劲十足,这种司机也就更容易去冒险。

开车的速度受到了音乐的速度和节奏的控制。

5 在试验中,给那些自愿参加实验的司机听声音很响的音乐,他们说尽管他们不一定感到非要开快车,但的确发现自己换档更快了,加速也快了,刹车更急了。

若是让这些司机听慢节奏的抒情曲,他们承认经常感到自己走神,他们在高速公路上长途开车时,至少有两位参试的司机发现自己不知不觉地在跨越车道标记。

6 这些自愿参试的司机(有些刚刚拿到驾驶执照)所发表的意见非常说明问题。

十八岁的西蒙告诉英国汽车协会,“《走出地狱的蝙蝠》里的快节奏摇滚乐真会让人送命的。

我发现自己不知不觉地越开越快。

”7 另一名自愿参试的司机一直在听ZZ Top乐队最流行的曲子,他说,“我一直在快速行驶,扯着嗓门唱歌,没有看见也没有听见那辆一直想超过我的消防车。

”8 还有些人说:“我陷入了深思”…… “人的感觉会变得麻木” …… “听不见别的汽车是个问题”,“我一直在随着音乐的节奏加快速度。

”9 一些慢节奏的背景音乐,如肖邦的音乐,会刺激人的大脑,使思维模式发生变化,激发阿尔法脑波,使人有一种舒服愉快的感觉。

处于放松状态在大多数情况下对我们有好处,但开车时则不然。

心理学家雪利•费希尔教授提醒人们说:“最大的危险是疲劳驾驶。

有些音乐会使你无法集中注意力,甚至陷入轻度睡眠状态,那样就会造成可怕的惨祸。

”10 “问题的关键在于根据具体情况选择合适的音乐。

刺激性的音乐适合在漫长、枯燥的道路上听,但是当交通状况糟糕时,或是交通拥挤时,这种音乐会分散你的注意力。

”11 然而,音乐也有其好的一面,正如英国汽车协会的心理学家罗伯特•韦斯特所指出的那样:“如果有些音乐影响我们安全行驶,那么反过来也是有道理的。

精心选择的曲子会有助于我们安全行驶,尤其是对高风险的群体。

例如,要是我们能使年轻的男性驾车者听曼陀瓦尼的音乐,他们很可能会把速度放慢。

但可悲的是,我自认为没有能力说服他们许多人去这样做。

”12 不仅某种音乐会影响行驶安全,我们的车里安装了高技术的音响系统这件事本身也是引起车祸的根源。

近期一份有关交通与道路安全的报告表明,小的交通事故中,大约有40%是由于人们在更换磁带或光盘不看道路所引起的!13 无论我们对音乐的品位如何,无论我们的开车风格如何,看来安全行驶的习惯是我们一定要养成的。

罗孚汽车公司、英国航空航天局、飞利浦公司及瑞典道路与交通研究所已通力合作生产一种汽车智能系统, 简称为ARIADNE(实时智能驾驶助理)的精密电子防撞行驶报警装置,它利用雷达技术,一旦面临撞车危险,雷达会使车内的电话响起,警告司机注意。

14 如果汽车与前面的车辆之间的距离超出了安全刹车的范围,ARIADNE会通过加速器踏板发出震动以提醒司机放慢速度。

随着两车之间的距离不断缩短,这种震荡会越来越强烈,要是司机对这种警告仍然无动于衷的话,发动机的运转就会中断,危险警告灯就亮起来。

15 因此千万要记住:即便音乐是爱的食物,也要悠着点,尤其是在你开车的时候,这样我们大家就可以继续“播放”下去。

After-Class Reading Songs of Love 参考译文爱心之歌1 从很多方面来说,约翰•贝尔茨可称得上是世界上最成功的歌曲作家。

他写的每一首歌保证大受欢迎——不是指在流行音乐排行榜上,而是在孩子的心中。

原因是贝尔茨的每一首歌都是写给一位身患重病的孩子。

他的歌总是能让孩子们露出笑容并振作精神。

他们一遍遍地播放这些歌。

这对于贝尔茨来说要比高居流行音乐排行榜有意义得多。

2 三十八岁的贝尔茨是一个非营利组织“爱心之歌”的创始人和主席。

这个组织由音乐家、歌曲作家、歌手和音响师自愿联合组成,创作反映孩子个性的独特而欢快的歌曲。

贝尔茨掌管着这一组织,并在纽约市昆斯区父母家的地下室建立了一个小型的录音室。

3 贝尔茨相信音乐有治疗效果。

当一个成年人聆听一首自己喜爱的歌曲时,他会心情舒畅;那么当一个小孩听到一首专门为自己谱写的歌曲时,结果也会非常令人振奋。

“爱心之歌”自1996年组建以来,为孩子们谱写、录音并发送了780首鼓舞人心的歌曲,这一切都是免费进行的。

那些得到歌曲的孩子们,下至婴儿,上至青少年,全都处于生命的绝境,如有的身患癌症、有的要肾透析治疗、有的在等待器官移植等。

他们大部分是美国60家医院的病人,那里的专家们定期要贝尔茨的歌,他们利用玩乐对儿童进行心理治疗。

4 一些著名的音乐家,在听说了“爱心之歌”后,纷纷援助这个项目。

有170位专业音乐人奉献才艺,其中有歌手洛妮•斯佩克特、摇滚歌星罗杰•多尔特里,以及百老汇音乐剧《泰坦尼克号》的全体演员。

超级流行歌星比尔•乔尔还为一个孩子写的歌做口头介绍。

当然,大部分表演者尚未出名。

纽约市的警察和一所中学的合唱团也录制过一些歌曲。

5 “爱心之歌”的音乐风格迥异,有用脚尖击拍的欢快流行音乐、乡村音乐还有轻柔的歌谣和说唱乐。

因为贝尔茨出生在巴西,会说西班牙语和葡萄牙语,有时他就用这两种语言录制歌曲。

在为一个孩子谱写歌曲之前,家长或护士要填写一张表,告知有关该小孩的兴趣、爱好、家庭、宠物及其他喜爱的东西。

然后贝尔茨将这张表交给已选定的歌曲家,他会将表中所列的这些细节编写到歌曲中。

孩子的名字在整首歌中会多次提到。

歌曲作者还会找歌手演唱这首歌,而且有可能的话,他们会用自己的设备录制,或者请当地愿意赞助的录音棚予以录制。

结果表明,这是使孩子们感觉好的良方。

当然,歌中是决不会提及小孩的病情的。

6 贝尔茨有许多活页夹,放满了孩子和家长们的感谢信,信中描述了孩子第一次听到专门为他们创作的歌曲时的反应。

这样的信令贝尔茨感到欣慰,因为这正是他所期待的。

他创建“爱心之歌”是为纪念他的孪生兄弟胡里奥,一位音乐家、歌手和歌曲作家。

在与精神疾病进行过一番抗争后,胡里奥于24岁自杀,他在死前的两个月曾写过一首伤感的歌谣,其中一句歌词为“要驱走恐惧,我们真正需要的是爱心之歌。

”7 贝尔茨没有结婚,没有自己的孩子,他原先从未想过会为孩子们写歌。

他说,有一天他走在街上,脑海里忽然出现了这个念头,并且马上感到自己会成功。

他回家后打电话给田纳西州孟菲斯的圣裘德儿童研究医院,说他想为病重的孩子们写歌,但院方说他们不能公开病人的个人资料。

不过他们说确有六张用于宣传的儿童照片,照片上附有少量的个人资料。

如果贝尔茨觉得有用的话,他们同意将这些照片寄给他。

贝尔茨收到了照片并在四天内写了六首歌。

院方收到这些歌曲后,打电话高度赞扬了他。

不久之后,一位身患癌症的小女孩的母亲打来电话向他致谢,随后女孩本人也打电话感谢他。

就在这时,他明白了这就是他的职业。

8 如今,贝尔茨与他的组织成员每月创作30至40首歌曲。

不幸的是,有时歌曲还没送到,孩子已去世了,但孩子的父母仍然告诉他,此歌在悼念孩子的过程中是一种安慰。

9 与大多数慈善事业一样,“爱心之歌”几乎一直缺少资金。

为了节约开支,贝尔茨搬回家与退休的父母同住,他们也支持他的事业。

他的长远目标是为所有年龄段的病人送上“爱心之歌”,包括住在养老院的老人和精神病患者。

贝尔茨想方设法筹钱,他曾卖掉一张唱片及一盘磁带,上面录有21首儿童慈善歌曲,第22首歌便是他兄弟胡里奥自编自唱的“爱心之歌”。

贝尔茨想下次出唱片时说服史蒂维•旺德或保罗•麦卡特尼演唱“爱心之歌”,这样就能保证基金会有一笔更可观的销售收入。

同时,贝尔茨本人一直都是“爱心之歌”最多产的歌曲作家,确保了为病重的孩子写歌的所有要求都得到满足。

Why?Sample-- I prefer light music because it makes me feel relaxed. Light music also creates a peaceful environment. By listening to light music I can be in good mood and get prepared to do what is on my agenda.-- I prefer rock music because it makes me excited and energetic. I feel as if I’m full of renewed vigor and can do any hard work.-- I prefer country music because it is beautiful and puts me in a light mood.-- I like pop music because it is easy to follow and is closely related to our daily lives.-- I like folk music because it often tells a story about ordinary people.-- I prefer Chinese pop music because it is closer and more meaningful to me. Very often I feel as if I were the singer and my feeling changes as the music does.-- I like love songs because they are romantic. It arouses our imagination and touches the deeppart of our heart.-- My favorite piece of music is jazz because it is the kind of music for all moods. My favorite jazz piece is "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane.-- The music that I like most is the piano instrumental. The person who listens to instrumental music can try to understand what message the composer is trying to convey through his composition.--My favorite song is James Taylor's "The Water is Wide." Every time I hear it, I feel as if I’m in a different place, where people walk in the streets heartbroken, but with the hope that life will be kind to them again. There is something comforting in the song that leaves me confident that whatever hardship I'm facing, other people have faced it before, and it can be overcome anyway.2) Which composers and/or singers do you like most? Why?Sample-- Among the composers, I like Beethoven the most. I like his symphonies, especially his Fifth Symphony. It is thought-provoking. Whenever I feel unhappy and can’t find a way out of a difficult situation, I will listen to his music.-- Among the singers, I like Mariah Carey the best. I like her songs, and I like her voice.-- I like Michael Bolton, especially his “Said I Love You, but I Lied.”-- I like Richard Marx because he is handsome, versatile and sexy.3) Does music affect your mood? If so, how and what types of music?Sample-- Music does affect my mood. When I feel stressed or exhausted after a day’s hard work, I often listen to light music, country music, classical music, or folk music to relax myself.-- When I feel sad and don’t feel like doing a nything, I will listen to some pop music or rock music to pick me up.-- Music moves me in many ways but the most unforgettable experience I have had was listening to a piece of Mahler's. At one point the string section builds up to a high note which is so exquisitely haunting and sad that tears streamed down my face. I now know that he wrote this music about the death of his child and I find it amazing that this emotion could be conveyed so clearly. In most cases, music makes me happy to be alive.-- Music keeps me in touch with my inner part, another real life. It reminds me of the basics necessary for a healthy heart. While we are all rushing around from day to day it is too easy to be busy "getting it all" done and we forget to take good care of ourselves and keep in touch with each other often enough. Music takes us away from the busy physical world and provides an easy way to reach the soul.STEP TWO Music Party(The teacher can choose one or two music fans in the class to give a music party and let the fans choose a couple of their classmates to help them with the work.)STEP THREE InterviewDirections: Suppose you were the singer/band/composer you have just introduced, and let the other students interview you.Questions that may be asked:1) Where are you from?2) Why did you decide to become a musician?3) Which composers/singers do you admire most and try to learn from?4) When did you start to compose music of your own?5) Since you are so famous, you must have a lot of fans.

Being a music talent, he started to write some easy songs when he was a little child. By the time he entered a music school, he already had several popular songs to his credit. Being a famous singer throughout the country, he thinks his secret is to be faithful to his fans and to be always original. He never copies others.

Trying to Be a SongwriterTips for teachers:1)Exploring music: Whether you are a teenager or are well into your golden years, it is never too late to explore your creativity, especially in music. Songwriting is an excellent way to express your thoughts and feelings even if you have no aspirations of musical fame or fortune. If you are interested in selling or performing your songs, however, you should be aware that it is a hard road and that very few songwriters achieve great fame or fortune, especially in a short time. Nonetheless, if you are quite realistic, you’ll find that composing music is a worthwhile experience whether it is a hobby or a profession.2) What to start with: People write songs in many different ways. Some writers compose the music first, while others first write the words. For still others, words and melody occur to them at the same time. No matter what process you are comfortable with, you eventually have to decide what the song is about. There is a variety of different types of songs ranging from songs that tell fictional stories to songs that communicate deep personal feelings.A story song: If you decide to write a story song, a good start is to write about a news story or something you’ve read in the newspaper. However, if you already have a story in your mind, you can write it out in poem form with appropriate rhymes and structures that help transform the story into a song.4) Personal songs: Music is very expressive and songwriters use the media to express their feelings, whether it’s about a person, a situation or even an important place. Songs can be highly personal, so each person creates differently. When you have a strong feeling about something, write it down in a notebook and come back to it later. You might come up with a good line that expresses an emotion really well, and if you remember it you might be able to build an entire song around it. A peaceful environment is always favorable to songwriting.Music composing: Composing the music for a song can be done in many different ways depending on your musical prowess and your focus. Often times, songwriters will construct whole pieces, melody and all, without even knowing what the song is going to be about. Once the melody is complete, the composer will sit down and think about the lyrics that are consistent with the feeling behind the music and will go from there.Samples (用“洋娃娃与小熊跳舞”的曲调):1)Little Sammy, don’t worry,We’ll help you anyway;Always happy, always lucky,God will bless you all the way.Play basketball, do some reading,Have a good time every day;Welcome to China,Go to the Great Wall,With your Wishbone together.(The students who wrote the song: 刘樱,蒋令西,吴越,钱莉莉)2)Sammy, little boy,Let’s go to China with your dear Wishbone,To see the Great Wall,To see the Summer Palace,And to everywhere you want.Playing basketball in the shiny sun,Reading stories on the grass,With Wishbone around you,Everything is so beautiful.Sammy, our happiest boy,The best wishes to you,Forever, forever, forever.…4. Trying to Translate LyricsA School BoyI’m a little school boy,Carrying a schoolbag I go to school,Regardless of the scorching sunAnd the violent wind and rainstorm,I fear my teacher would scold me for being lazy,And with no learning I daren’t face mom and dad.I’m a little school boy,Carrying a schoolbag I go to school,Neither for becoming an official,Nor for glorifying my own face,My goal is to change the fate of the poor,Let them no longer be bullied or enslaved.Part Four Writing and Translation1 Translation Practice1) 音乐是人类的共同语言。
