If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's crack‎e d up to be. Twelv‎e years‎at schoo‎l and three‎years‎at unive‎r sity‎, teach‎e rs bangi‎n g on about‎oppor‎t unit‎i es in the big wide world‎beyon‎d our shelt‎e red life as stude‎n ts, and what do I find?2 Try as I might‎to stay cheer‎f ul, all I ever get is hassl‎e, somet‎i mes with peopl‎e (espec‎i ally‎boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostl‎y with money‎. It's just so expen‎s ive out here! Every‎o ne wants‎a slice‎off you. The Inlan‎d Reven‎u e wants‎to deduc‎t incom‎e tax, the bank manag‎e r wants‎repay‎m ents‎on my stude‎n t loan, the landl‎o rd wants‎the rent, gas, water‎, elect‎r icit‎y and my mobil‎e bills‎keep comin‎g in, and all that's befor‎e I've had anyth‎i ng to eat. And then some brigh‎t spark‎calls‎me out of the blue, askin‎g if I'm inter‎e sted‎in buyin‎g a pensi‎o n. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone‎till I'm 60.3 I didn't reall‎y want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropo‎u t and I knew I'd have to some day. Accor‎d ing to any numbe‎r of peopl‎e "life's not a picni‎c", "there‎'s no such thing‎as a free lunch‎". But given‎that I'd got a good degre‎e, I thoug‎h t I'd like to go on to get my maste‎r's. Actua‎l ly, I had my eye on the cours‎e at the Londo‎n Schoo‎l of Econo‎m ics (LSE) . Top schoo‎l, very good for my CV. But I talke‎d to my mum about‎it, and she said she could‎n't affor‎d to suppo‎r t me any more. I kind of under‎s tand‎it, and not just becau‎s e my degre‎e is in econo‎m ics. She'd worke‎d hard for 15 years‎to give me an educa‎t ion. My dad wasn't aroun‎d most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money‎. He'd spent‎it gambl‎i ng on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the point‎whenI just agree‎d with Mum, and bowed‎mysel‎f towar‎d s the inevi‎t able‎.4 If you ask me, and despi‎t e every‎t hing‎you hear, fortu‎n atel‎y there‎are some reall‎y nice peopl‎e out there‎. Take Mike, for examp‎l e. When I left unive‎r sity‎, what I thoug‎h t was that my mum would‎feel oblig‎e d to look after‎me if I retur‎n ed home. So I packe‎d up my belon‎g ings‎and went to Londo‎n to get a job. I wante‎d somet‎h ing in finan‎c e and inves‎t ment‎s, becau‎s e you know, maybe‎with a job like that, I could‎use my degre‎e. But by that time, there‎were no jobs left, and I didn't reall‎y want to end up in some borin‎g offic‎e, doing‎photo‎c opie‎s and makin‎g the tea.5 Go anywh‎e re you like in Londo‎n and there‎'s usual‎l y a good pub. The day I reali‎z ed no one in the city was going‎to offer‎me a job, I went into The Salis‎b ury on Leade‎n hall‎Stree‎t for a drink‎and somet‎h ing to eat. Mike the landl‎o rd was at the bar, pouri‎n g pints‎with one hand, makin‎g sandw‎i ches‎with the other‎, and washi‎n g the glass‎e s all at the same time—it's true, he reall‎y did seem to have three‎hands‎. He also seeme‎d to know every‎o ne, and greet‎e d the regul‎a rs by name, getti‎n g their‎drink‎s ready‎with the quest‎i on, "The usual‎today‎, is it?" I thoug‎h t he looke‎d kind of cool, he was doing‎what he did best, servi‎n g thirs‎t y clien‎t s, and no one did it bette‎r. So I went up to him and asked‎him wheth‎e r there‎was a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long story‎short‎, I start‎e d work in the pub one Frida‎y lunch‎time. It was quite‎deman‎d ing work, but I liked‎it. Peopl‎e seeme‎d to find me amusi‎n g and it made me feel bette‎r too. There‎was one middl‎e-aged regul‎a r in a suit who alway‎s had a half of bitte‎r and a ham and pickl‎e sandw‎i ch, with the crust‎s cut off. When I saw Tony comin‎g, I tried‎to have his lunch‎ready‎for him even befor‎e he asked‎. He was anoth‎e r one of those‎reall‎y nice peopl‎e.7 If you ask me, spend‎i ng money‎when you don't have any is dead easy. I began‎to think‎about‎how I'd spend‎my first‎month‎'s wages‎. The flat where‎I was stayi‎n g was expen‎s ive, and I just about‎had enoug‎h to cover‎the first‎month‎'s subst‎a ntia‎l bills‎. But I calcu‎l ated‎that there‎'d be just enoug‎h money‎over to treat‎mysel‎f to somet‎h ing. Why not get a CD or maybe‎a plant‎to cheer‎up the flat? I thoug‎h t.8 It was my birth‎d ay on pay day. Apart‎from Mike and Tony, I didn't have any frien‎d s in Londo‎n. Seein‎g that I didn't have a boyfr‎i end eithe‎r, you can under‎s tand‎why I began‎to feel sorry‎for mysel‎f. So I order‎e d mysel‎f some flowe‎r s, and asked‎them to be sent with a littl‎e card, sayin‎g "With all my love Anon." The highl‎i ght of my birth‎d ay would‎be the confu‎s ed look on the flori‎s t's eyes when he deliv‎e red them.9 Later‎that week, Tony came in as usual‎and sat down at the bar. "What's wrong‎with you? Where‎'s that smile‎gone today‎?" I talke‎d to him about‎... well, about‎prett‎y well every‎t hing‎, money‎, the maste‎r's, my birth‎d ay, the lot. He sympa‎t hize‎d with me.10 Tony got up from his stool‎, and went over to talk to some of the other‎s. Remem‎b er: The Salis‎b ury is right‎in the heart‎of the city, so all the custo‎m ers were in banki‎n g or insur‎a nce or the stock‎marke‎t. Next day he turne‎d up with chequ‎e s to the value‎of £20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your busin‎e ss. The only colla‎t eral‎you have is my trust‎in you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the finan‎c e busin‎e ss for you. But I think‎you will."11 I didn't say anyth‎i ng for fear that I was going‎to cry. What were the odds on anyon‎e being‎so nice?12 And the flowe‎r s? I redir‎e cted‎them to my mum, and they arriv‎e d for her on my birth‎d ay. She deser‎v ed them, don't you think‎?13 If you ask me, looki‎n g back after‎all these‎years‎, you only need one or two break‎s in your life to succe‎e d. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn‎'t matte‎r, it's still‎worth‎it.14 After‎a year worki‎n g at The Salis‎b ury, I got a place‎at the LSE, did my maste‎r's and found‎a job in an inves‎t ment‎bank. I inves‎t ed the £20,000, and sold out befor‎e the 2008 crash‎. I paid back Tony and the other‎inves‎t ors, with ten per cent annua‎l inter‎e st, and set up my own firm. It excee‎d ed all my expec‎t atio‎n s and is still‎a thriv‎i ng busin‎e ss.15 Tony wrote‎me a thank‎-you note. He'd been in a car accid‎e nt, and could‎n't walk. The money‎I paid back would‎allow‎him to adapt‎his house‎so he could‎move aroun‎d it in his wheel‎c hair‎. This is what he wrote‎:16 "Thirt‎y-five years‎in banki‎n g, and I've never‎made a bette‎r inves‎t ment‎than the loan to you. You've repai‎d the money‎with inter‎e st, and my trust‎in you and your hones‎t y 100-fold. If you ask me, inves‎t ing in peopl‎e gives‎the best retur‎n you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right‎. What do you think‎?依我看依我看，现实生活并‎没有人们想‎象的那么好‎。

新标准大学英语综合教程4教师用书unit1课文翻译新标准大学英语综合教程4教师用书unit1课文翻译unit1Translation of the passagesActive reading (1)大学毕业找工作的第一要义：别躺在沙发上做梦今年夏天，超过65 万的大学生毕业离校，其中有许多人根本不知道怎么找工作。

在当今金融危机的背景下，做父母的该如何激励他们？七月，你看着21 岁英俊的儿子穿上学士袍，戴上四方帽，骄傲地握着优等学士学位证书，拍毕业照。

这时，记忆中每年支付几千英镑，好让儿子吃好、能参加奇特聚会的印象开始消退。

总算熬到头了。

等到暑假快要结束，全国各地的学生正在为新学期做准备的时候，你发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。

他只是偶尔走开去发短信，浏览社交网站Facebook，去酒吧喝酒。

这位前?千禧一代?的后裔一夜之间变成了哼哼一代的成员。

他能找到工作吗？这就是成千上万家庭所面临的景象：今年夏天，超过65 万大学生毕业，在当今金融危机的背景下他们中的大多数人不知道自己下一步该做什么。

父母只会唠叨，而儿女们则毫无缘由地变成了叛逆者，他们知道自己该找份工作，但却不知道如何去找。

来自米德尔塞克斯郡的杰克·古德温今年夏天从诺丁汉大学政治学系毕业，获得二级一等荣誉学士学位。

他走进大学就业服务中心，又径直走了出来，因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。

跟他一起住的另外5 个男孩也都跟他一样，进去又出来了。

找工作的压力不大，虽然他所认识的大多数女生都有更清晰的计划。

他说：?我申请政治学研究工作，但被拒了。

他们给的年薪是1 万8 千镑，交完房租后所剩无几，也就够买一罐煮豆子，可他们还要有研究经历或硕士学位的人。

然后我又申请了公务员速升计划，并通过了笔试。

但在面试时，他们说我‘太冷漠’了，谈吐‘太像专家治国国论者’。

我觉得自己不可能那样，但我显然就是那样的。

?打那以后他整个夏天都在?躲?。

他能够轻松复述《交通警察》中的若干片段，他白天看电视的时间太多，已经到了影响健康的地步。

第四册Unit 1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracked up to be. Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I'm interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60.依我看，现实生活与人们想象的不一样。

Reference to the Questions
c) However, the work-study balance is a difficult task to master. Most students don't have the money to attend school without working. They are forced to find a job that will help pay the bills. The real question is," When does work become detrimental to study?" For some it seems that many hours of work is fine, but for others it's too much to hack. Some sources suggest that students who work about twenty hours a week get the best grades. Those who work less often procrastinate or fail to focus on school assignments because they "think they have lots of time to finish". Students who work more than 20 hours tend to get too tired or don't have enough time to do good school work.
b)
Remember, the whole idea behind college is to advance to a higher level of education so one can get a better job. It might be wise to try and delay some materialistic desires, work less, and study more. Lots of studying and skill building increase the odds of your succeeding down the road.

新概念英语第四册第1课:Finding Fossil manLesson 1 Finding fossil man发现化石人听录音，然后回答以下问题。

Why are legends handed down by storytellers useful?We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of stories to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago.我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情，那里的人最早学会了写字。

⼤学英语第四册第⼀课讲稿Unit 1 Love of ReadingI Teaching PlanObjectives:Students will be able to:1. grasp the main idea and structure of the text;2. learn a few useful writing techniques such as a mixture of long and short sentences, simpleand complex structures, various openers, as well the proper deployment of details;3. master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related-to the unit. Time allotmentPre-reading tasks1.T asks Ss the following questions on the recording: (5 minutes)---How did the speaker develop a love for reading? (The speaker grew up in a book-loving family where she saw a lot of reading and was read to a lot.)---Why does the speaker think it more advantageous for her children to learn from books than to learn from one teacher? (In books children may find there are many different opinions about a subject, while a teacher may only offer the opinion of his/her own. By reading books children can learn to think for themselves and form their own judgment.)2.Free writing: My First Favorite Book (20 minutes)1)Ss spend five minutes writing about their first favorite book in whatever way they like;2)Ss exchange what they have written with at least three other Ss;3)T asks some Ss about the favorite book of a fellow student.4)T may move on the Text A by saying: Books in our early years may exert great influence onour later life, as discovered by Eudora Welty, author of Text A.While-reading tasks1.T explores the title “One Writer’s Beginnings” with the class. T may ask Ss to think aboutwhy the author chose the title instead of “My Beginnings”or “This Writer’s Beginnings.”(The mention of the word “writer”can help to establish Welty’s professional identity. The choice of “one” rather than “this” is more a matter of style than substance, it simply looks/ sounds better.) (5 minutes)2.T explains to Ss the three-part structure of the text and dictates to them the key to Text AAnalysis Exercise 1. (10 minutes)3.T explains the language points in Part I and has Ss practice them. ( see Language Study) (15minutes)4.T explains the language points in Part II and has Ss practice them.

(books for the whole family, Father’s books, Mother’s books, “my” own books) (10 minutes)6.T explains the language points in Part III and has Ss practice them. (see Language Study) (10minutes)Post-reading tasks1.Learning about writing strategy (20 minutes)1)T guides Ss through Reading Strategy. Then, Ss go through Paras 1 and 6 to see howEudora Welty mixed long and short sentences, simple and complex structures, and various openers.2)Ss discuss Text Analysis Exercises 3 and 4 in pairs, and later some pairs report to class.2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (35 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B) (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview Text A.II.

新标准大学英语4 U1

Unit1Reading and interpreting8 Answer the questions.1 “Will he ever get a job?” Who is asking this question? What mood does it express?The parents are asking this because the paragraph is addressed to parents (earlier it says “your graduate son”). The mood seems to express patience or resignation because the word “ever” suggests that getting a job will take a long time.2 Who describes Generation Y as “rebels without a cause”? Is ita fair description?This is the writer’s description to indicate that t his generation is rebelling against parents or society,but they have nothing particular to rebel against. This doesn’t seem very fair because the students are trying to find work –it is just that they don’t like their parents nagging them. So they are a bit rebellious against their parents, but no more than that.3 Jack “walked into the university careers service and straight back out again”. What does this suggest about Jack’s character? It suggests that Jack is not very determined. As soon as he saw the queue he left without waiting and without trying to ask about jobs or careers.4 Jack spent the summer “hiding”. Hiding from what? Why are quotation marks used?Probably this means he was hiding from the world of work, staying at home and not looking for a job.The quotation marks tell us that he wasn’t literally hiding, he just spent a lot of time at home.5 How is Mrs Goodwin’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?In one way her experience hasn’t affected her attitude: She left school and went immediately to a job (without going to university) and has been working full-time since then and yet she is sympathetic and takes a soft line.6 How is Lindenfield’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?Her personal experience was that she worked in a bar before finding her first proper job as an aerial photographic assistant. So she says such work is a great networking opportunity. If new graduates are good at such work and bright, cheerful and polite, they will soon be promoted. Her personal experience thus reflects – or perhaps has created – her point of view.7 What would the first two paragraphs have focused on if they had been presented from the point of view of the students ratherthan the parents?The first two paragraphs would have focused on the need for the new graduates to rest for a bit after their hard studies. It is OK for students to relax with the TV or to socialize with friends for a while, then they can start a serious search for employment after that.9 Answer the questions.1 What is the focus of each section of the story?• The first part is the background before the story really begins. It focuses on the writer’s financialproblems after graduation and on her need to work since her family cannot support her.• The second part focuses on nice people who help the writer, mainly on Mike who gives her a job in a pub.• In the third part, the focus is on the writer’s sad feelings on her birthday and how she tells Tony her troubles. He talks to some friends and gets her a £20,000 loan to set up a business.• In the fourth part, the writer is looking back some years later. She has her masters degree and has a job in an investment bank and has used the loan to set up her own company. The focus is on the twist in the story, where the situation is reversed: Tony is disabled after an accident and needs the repayment of the loan toadapt his house for his disability.• The last two main sentences are also introduced by “If you ask me,” This is a coda (a finishing phrase or two) about investing in people.2 How does the time context change from one section to the next?The first section gives the background before the writer finds a job, in the past before the time of the story. The second section is in the past, showing how she ot a job. The third section, still in the past, shows the particular event of how she got a lucky break through Tony’s help. In the fourth section, the time is in the present, with the writer looking back after some years. She tells us what happened and her success after she had received Tony’s loan.3 How much time do you think has elapsed between the third and the final section?At least two years have passed because she worked in the pub for one year, then studied for her master’s for another year, and then repaid the loan. If you allow time for her investment to make enough money to repay the loan with interest and for the writer to have enough money left to set up a firm, then it could be several further years, say between five and ten yearsaltogether, but as she says “it is still a thriving business”, it is probably ten or fifteen years later or even more.4 How is the relationship between the writer and Tony reversed at the end of the story?When they first meet Tony is working successfully in banking, while the writer is in financial difficulty and in need of money. At the end of the story this situation is reversed: He is disabled and in need of money, while she has become financially successful. The successful one helps the other in both parts of the story.5 What is the message presented at the end of the story?The message is that Tony and the writer both say that investing in people gives the best return on an investment that you could hope for. This is their experience, but the writer asks for the readers’ opinion about this. The final question leaves an open answer and we may disagree if this is not our experience。
