全新版 大学英语第1册第4单元(原创)----American Dream
After two hundred year’s development, America has become a melting pot (大 熔炉) with people from all over the world.
The values of these Puritan(清教徒) settlers strongly influenced the culture of the American colonies and later of the United States. It is a new nation of immigrants compared with the old world, such as U.K.（英国）, Germany. In fact, America is a multi-cultural （多文化） and multi-national（多民族）country.

Crawford He came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don’t know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin.“I mow your lawn,” he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.I asked him his name. “T ony Trivisonno,” he replied. “I mow your lawn.” I told T ony that I couldn’t afford a gardener.“I mow your lawn,” he said again, then walked away.I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I turn away a person who had come to me for help?When I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weeded, and the walks swept. I asked my wife what had happened.“A man got the lawn mower out ofthe garage and worked on the yard,”she answered. “I assumed you had hiredhim.”I told her of my experience thenight before. We thought it strange thathe had not asked for pay.The next two days were busy, and I forgot about T ony. We were trying to rebuild our business and bring someof our workers back to the plants. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw T ony again, behind the garage. I complimented him on the work he had done.“I mow your lawn,” he said.I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day T ony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix.Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. “Mr. Craw, snow pretty soon,” T ony told me one evening. “When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory.”Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, T ony got his job at the factory.The months passed. I asked the personnel departmentfor a report. They said T ony was avery good worker.One day I found T ony at ourmeeting place behind the garage. “Iwant to be ’prentice,” he said.We had a pretty good apprenticeschool that trained laborers. But Idoubted whether T ony had thecapacity to read blueprints andmicrometers or do precision work. Still,how could I turn him down?T ony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later,I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder.He had learned to read the millionths of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with a diamond.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story.A year or two passed, and again I found T ony in his usual waiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what he wanted.“Mr. Craw,” he said, “I like a buy a house.” On the edge of town, he had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.I called on a banker friend. “Do you ever loan money on character?” I asked. “No,” he said. “We can’t afford to. No sale.”“Now, wait a minute,” I replied. “Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He’s got a good job. You’re not getting a damn thing from your lot. It will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest.”Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for$2,000 and gave T ony the house with no down payment. T ony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around ourplace —a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing —T ony would gather and take home.After about two years, I found T ony in our familiar meeting spot. He seemed to stand a little straighter. Hewas heavier. He had a look of confidence.“Mr. Craw, I sell my house!” he saidwith pride. “I got $8,000.”I was amazed. “But, T ony, where areyou going to live without a house?”“Mr. Craw, I buy a farm.”We sat down and talked. T ony told me that to own a farm was his dream. He loved the tomatoes and peppers and all the other vegetables important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunted around the edge of town until he found a small, abandoned piece of property with a house and shed. Now he was moving his family to his farm.Sometime later, T ony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed. He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America. T ony was sponsoring him. With an amused look in his eye, he told me that when they approached the little farm he now operated, his friend stood in amazement and said, “T ony, you are a millionaire!”Then, during the war, a message came from my company. T ony had passed away.I asked our people to check on his family and see that everything was properly handled. They found the farm green with vegetables, the little house livable and homey. There was a tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and T ony didn’t owe a cent.After he passed away, I thought more and more about T ony’s career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.T ony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. T ony’s affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists’ affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.T ony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn’t find it —he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.Summary WritingFrom the start, Tony showed his ________ to ______his dream.

The Great Depression is considered the most severe economic crisis in the industrialized world. It began when American stock market fell on Friday, Oct. 24, 1929, and continued the following Tuesday, known as Black Tuesday, with a greater fall. The Depression struck many other countries as well, particularly Germany, Japan, and Britain. In the early 1930s millions of people lost their jobs, and millions of businesses and banks failed. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies improved the situation, but the Great Depression did not come to an end until World War II when industrial production for the war increased.

Before Reading >> The American DreamAmerican Dream is the belief that everyone in the United States has the chance to achieve success and prosperity. For ordinary people, it means a happy family, an ideal job, and a nice house. For minorities and immigrants, it also includes freedom and equal rights.Before Reading >> ImmigrantsI. IntroductionListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing words.Apart from “Native Americans” —Indians, all Americans have ancestors who were immigrants. The United States has become the home of immigrants from all over the world. Some immigrants come to the United States in search of a place to practice their religion freely, while others seek political or economic protection. Still others arrive in hopes of building a better life for themselves and their families.II. First ImmigrantsThe first immigrants to America came almost from western Europe. During the first decades of the 17th century, settlers from England colonized Virginia and New England. Immigration to New England began in 1620 when English Puritans established Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. The values of these Puritan settlers strongly influenced the culture of the American colonies and later of the United States.Before Reading >> The Great DepressionThe Great Depression is considered the most severe economic crisis in the industrialized world. It began when American stock market fell on Friday, Oct. 24, 1929, and continued the following Tuesday, known as Black Tuesday, with a greater fall. The Depression struck many other countries as well, particularly Germany, Japan, and Britain. In the early 1930s millions of people lost their jobs, and millions of businesses and banks failed. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies improved the situation, but the Great Depression did not come to an end until World War II when industrial production for the war increased.Before Reading >> MortgageI. MortgageMortgage is an agreement to have money lent, especially to buy a house or land, with the house or land belonging to the lender until the money is repaid. It enables a person to buy a house without having enough money to pay for it completely. If the borrower fails to repay theloan, the lender may force the sale of the house to recover the amount of the loan.II. How to Get a MortgageA borrower can get a mortgage from a bank, credit union, or other lender. Most lenders require the borrower to have a certain amount of money to use as a down payment. For example, if an individual wants to buy a home priced at $50,000 and the lender requires a down payment of $2,000, the individual will apply for a loan of $48,000 to pay for the difference. Payments for the loan are usually made monthly. The life of the mortgage can be 15, 20, 30, or even 40 years.Before Reading >> Warm-up Questions1.What is the American Dream in your opinion?2.In what ways can a person be considered as being successful?3.What is the key to success?4.Tell a story of a successful person.Global Reading >> Part Division of the TextGlobal Reading >> Further Understanding I.

Besides, he was determined, self-controlled, optimistic, self-respected, honest and responsible. All these helped him become successful.)2. Compare Tony with the greatest industrialists.(Both Tony and the greatest industrialists are successful in pursuing their American Dreams.

Difficult Sentences1.“I mow your lawn,” he said. (Para. 2)How many times is the sentence —“I mow your lawn.” —repeated in the text? Why is it repeated?(The sentence is repeated four times. That’s because it shows Tony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.)2.Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? (Para. 12)Paraphrase the sentence.(It is hard to refuse a person who is determined and hopeful to get a job.)3.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story.

(Para. 21)1) Why did Tony take home the discarded odds and ends?(Tony bought a house, which was a complete wreck. To fix and decorate it, and, above all, to save money, he took home the discarded odds and ends.)2) Translate the sentence into Chinese.(从那以后，只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物，坏了的屏风啦，五金器具啦，包装纸板啦，托尼都要收起来拿回家，看他这个样子真是有意思。
