Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱,衣着肮脏,口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩,他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里,便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说:“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨,一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时,她的老板问她:“你拿到盘子了吗?” “没有……”她回答说,心里却在纳闷,不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢?一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷,但又不好意思开口问他。

Which of the following does the listening NOT say you should do?A) Organize your time and materials.B) Write down every word the professor says in class.C) Treat studying like business.D) Study together.Pre-reading Questions1. Based on the title, guess what the text is about.2. Look at the subheadings, 1-8, in the text. Which of these activities do you already do? In which areas do you feel you need improvement?3. Are there any "secrets" to your own success as a student? In other words, do you have any special study techniques which have been very successful for you?Secrets of A StudentsEdwin Kiester & Sally Valentine KiesterAlex, now a first-year student in natural sciences at Cambridge, played football for his school in Manchester and directed the school production of a play — but he left school with five A's. Amanda, studying English at Bristol University, acted inplays at her school and played tennis regularly. Yet she still managed to get four A's.How do A students like these do it? Brains aren't the only answer. The most gifted students do not necessarily perform best in exams. Knowing how to make the most of one's abilities counts for much more.Hard work isn't the whole story either. Some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. The students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of A students.1. Concentrate! Top students allow no interruptions of their study time. Once the books are open, phone calls go unanswered, TV unwatched and newspapers unread. "This doesn't mean ignoring important things in your life," Amanda explains. "It means planning your study time so that you can concentrate. If I'm worried about a sick friend, I call her before I start my homework. Then when I sit down to study, I can really focus."2. Study anywhere — or everywhere. A university professor in Arizona assigned to tutor underachieving college athletes, recalls a runner who exercised daily. He persuaded him to use the time to memorise biology terms. Another student stuck a vocabulary list on his bathroom wall and learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.3. Organize your materials. At school, Tom played basketball. "I was too busy to waste time looking for a pencil or a missing notebook. I kept everything just where I could get my hands on it," he says. Paul, a student in New Mexico, keeps two folders for each subject —one for the day's assignments, the other forhomework completed and ready to hand in. A drawer keeps essentials together and cuts down on time-wasting searches.4. Organize your time. When a teacher set a long essay, Alex would spend a couple of days reading round the subject and making notes, then he'd do a rough draft and write up the essay. He would aim to finish a couple of days before the assignment was due so that if it took longer than expected, he'd still meet the deadline. Amanda stuck to a study schedule that included breaks every two hours. "Trying to study when you're overtired isn't smart," she advises. "Even a short break to stretch or get some fresh air can work wonders."5. Learn how to read. "I used to spend hours going through irrelevant material," Amanda remembers. "But then I got used to reading quickly; if the first sentence of a paragraph wasn't relevant, I'd move on to the next paragraph." "The best course I ever took," says an Oklahoma student, "was speed-reading. I not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book's table of contents and pictures first. Then, when I began to read, I had a sense of the material and I retained a lot more." To such students, the secret of good reading is to be an active reader —one who keeps asking questions that lead to a full understanding of the material being read.6. Take good notes. "Before writing anything, I divide my page into two parts," says Amanda, "the left part is about a third of the page wide; the right, two-thirds. I write my notes in the wider part, and put down the main ideas on the left. During revision, this is very useful because you can see immediately why the material is relevant, rather than being worried by a great mass of information." Just before the end of lesson bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, talk to friends andget ready to leave. But a smart student uses those few minutes to write two or three sentences about the lesson's main points, which he scans before the next class.7. Ask questions. "If you ask questions, you know at once whether you have got the point or not," says Alex. Class participation is a matter of showing intellectual curiosity. In a lecture on economics, for example, curious students would ask how the Chinese economy could be both socialist and market-driven, thus interesting themselves not only in whats, but also in whys and hows.8. Study together. The value of working together was shown in an experiment at the University of California at Berkeley. A graduate student there who observed a first-year calculus course found that Asian-American students discussed homework, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another while the others studied alone, spent most of their time reading and rereading the text, and tried the same approach time after time even if it was unsuccessful.After all, the secrets of A students are not so secret. You can learn and master them and become an A student, too.New Wordsperformvt. 执行, 完成; 演出, 表演vi. 演出, 表演; 工作, 表现; 执行, 完成high-achievinga. 得高分的lower-scoringa. 得分较低的concentratevi. direct all one's attention, etc. towards sth. 全神贯注;集中思想;专注;专心interruptionn. 打扰; 干扰; 中止; 阻碍ignorevt. take no notice of; refuse to pay attention to!! 不理;忽视focusv. direct attention, etc. on sth. 集中注意力于某事情assignvt. appoint to a job or duty 委派; 指派underachievinga. doing less well than was expected, esp. in school work 未能充分发挥学习潜力的;学习成绩不良的athleten. a person who is good at or who often does spors 运动员recallvt. bring back to the mind; remember 回想(起);记得memorise, -rizevt. learn and remember 记住;熟记missinga. 缺失的,找不到的;失踪的`,下落不明的notebookn. small book for writing notes in 笔记本;记事本foldern. 文件夹assignmentn. a duty or piece of work that is given to someone (指定的)作业;(分派的)任务drawern. 抽屉essentialn.

21世纪大学实用英语(综合教程)第一册Unit1-6课文翻译与课后答案21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第一册)Unit1~6课文翻译及课后答案第一单元Text A 大学——我一生中的转折点佚名作为一名一年级新生初进大学时,我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。
我害怕独自一人在外,因为我是第一次远离家人。
这里周围都是我不认识的人,而他们也不认识我。
我得和他们交朋友,或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。
他们比我更聪明吗?我跟得上他们吗?他们会接受我吗?我很快就认识到,我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。
如果我要在学业上取得成功,我就必须制定一份学习计划。
我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。
我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉,什么时候吃什么,什么时候喝什么,对什么人表示友好。
这些问题我都得自己回答。
开始时,生活有点艰难。
我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。
我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。
我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。
然而不久,我就控制住了自己的生活。
我做到了按时上课,完成并交上了第一批作业,而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。
此外,我还交了一些朋友,跟他们在一起我感到很自在,我能把我担心的事告诉他们。
我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。
结果,我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。
我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。
凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定,这种感觉很好。
我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。
我未来的生活将会怎样呢?在人生的这一阶段,我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方,我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。
但我知道,我能应对未来,因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍:我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。
