第一单元：梦想的阴暗之面艾力克斯? 哈利许多人怀有美好的愿望，期望能成为作家，但是能够梦想成真的人不多。
艾力克斯? 哈利也想成为作家，可是他成功了。
阅读下面这篇文章，看一看他成功的原因。
许多青年人对我说，他们想成为作家。
我一直鼓励这样的人，但是我也向他们解释“成为作家”和写作之间存在着巨大的差别。
多数情况下这些年轻人梦寐以求的是财富与名誉，从未想到要孤身一人长久地坐在打字机旁。
“你们渴望的应该是写作，”我对他们说，“而不应该是当作家。
”事实上，写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作。
有一个被命运之神垂青的作家，就有成千上万个永远无法实现梦想的人。
即使那些成功人士也经常受到长久的冷落，穷困不堪。
我便是其中之一。
我放弃了在海岸警卫队做了二十年的工作，为的是成为一名自由撰稿人，这时，我根本没有前途可言。
我所拥有的只是一位住在纽约市的朋友，乔治? 西姆斯，他和我是在田纳西州的赫宁一起长大的。
乔治为我找了个家，位于格林威治村公寓大楼中的一间腾空的储藏室，而他是那幢大楼的管理员。
房子里冷嗖嗖的，没有卫生间，不过这没什么。
我马上买了一台旧的手动打字机，感觉自己颇象一位名符其实的作家。
然而，大约一年后，我的写作生涯依然没有任何起色，我开始怀疑自己。
卖出一篇小说是如此艰难，以至我几乎填不饱肚子。
但是，我清楚的是我想写作，我已梦寐以求了许多年。
我并不准备成为一名到死时还在想假如的人。
我会坚持把我的梦想付诸实践 -- 即使这梦想意味着不稳定的生活和对失败的恐惧。
这是希望的阴暗面，任何心存梦想的人都必须学会在这阴暗面下生存。
后来有一天，我接到了一个电话，由此改变了我的一生。
这并不是一位代理人或编辑打来电话，主动要求与我签大的稿约。
恰恰相反 -- 是一声鸣笛，诱使我放弃梦想。
打电话来的是海岸警卫队的老熟人，现在在旧金山。
他曾经借给我几美元，喜欢催我还给他。
“我什么时候才能拿到那十五美元，艾力克斯？”他逗我说。
“等我下一次卖出作品吧。

英语泛读教程1课文翻译Unit2劳拉·英格尔·威尔德写了很多书,讲述她在荒野里的生活。
本文是从中选出的一个真实故事。
1872年，她们全家住在威斯康辛州大森林边儿上的一幢小木屋中。
方圆几里之内没有一户人家，也远离所有的城镇。
一天，她父亲外出，荒野中只剩下她们母女四人。
晚上，来了一只大熊，她们该怎么办呢？她们最后会安然无恙吗？请看下面的故事。
一天, 爸爸说春天来了。
大森林中的雪已经开始融化。
雪块儿从树枝上掉下来，落在下面松软的雪堆上，形成一个个小洞。
午间的时侯，屋檐下所有的大冰柱在阳光下颤动闪烁。
在冰柱尖儿上，一颗颗小水珠摇摇欲坠。
爸爸说，他得去城里一趟，卖掉他一冬捕获的兽皮。
一天晚上, 他扎了很大一捆毛皮。
毛皮太多，爸爸把它们紧紧捆在一起时, 这堆毛皮几乎和他一样高。
清晨, 爸爸把这一大捆毛皮背在肩上, 向城镇出发了。
因为毛皮太多，他没有带枪。
妈妈很担心。
但爸爸说，如果日出前就出发，并且快些走，他可以在天黑前赶回来。
最近的城镇也很远。
劳拉和玛莉从没见过城镇, 也没见过商店。
她们甚至从未见过两幢连在一起的房子。
但是她们知道城里有好多的房屋, 还有一家满是糖果、印花布和其他神奇东西的商店。
在那里可以买到火药、子弹、盐和糖。
她们知道，爸爸会用毛皮从镇上的店主那儿换回漂亮东西的。
整整一天,她们等着爸爸给她们带回礼物。
太阳下沉到树梢上, 冰柱上的水也不再往下滴, 她们开始急切地盼望着爸爸的归来。
太阳已经不见了, 森林也渐渐暗了下来, 爸爸没有回来。
妈妈准备好晚餐, 摆好了桌子, 爸爸还是没有回来。
到了平时干杂活的时间, 他依然没有回来。
妈妈说,劳拉可以和她一起去挤牛奶, 因为劳拉可以帮忙提灯笼。
劳拉穿上了外套, 妈妈帮她系好扣子。
妈妈点燃了灯笼里的蜡烛, 劳拉则戴上了她的红色手套。
两只手套由一根红纱绳连着, 挂在脖子上。
能去帮妈妈挤牛奶，劳拉感到十分自豪。
她小心翼翼地提着灯笼。
灯笼壁是用锡皮做的, 上面有一些豁口，以便烛光透出来。
英语泛读课本翻译及答案
英语泛读课本翻译及答案作者：Hedgehog已被分享8次0复制链接Unit 1 Traveling in Fujian 福建旅游重点阅读旅游博客两则我的祖籍故乡—福建永春我还记得小时候和父亲在清明节时回到他的老家利民达扫墓时，他让我看刻在我祖父墓上的两个汉字“永春”，当时父亲跟我说祖父实际上是从中国福建省的一个小镇也就是这个地方出来的。
祖父到马来西亚已经有60多年了，他已不记得当时他怎么会把他的大女儿（我姑妈）独自留给永春的其他亲人。
我的姑妈现在还住在永春，已有自己的家庭，并育有一儿四女。
尽管姑妈和马来西亚的兄弟姐妹相隔甚远，但他们始终保持着紧密联系，而我也总是期待着能过去看看他们。
年复一年，机会终于来了…。
快乐与渴望的混合之情一涌而出！！离开厦门后，我们大约坐了3个小时的车才到达永春。
去永春的路并不是什么观光路，路的两边主要是大工厂和平原。
加上当时大约是傍晚6点钟，沿路除了车灯外没有任何的路灯，因此路看起来相当黑。
但沿途的路况还是不错的，虽然有些地方还是会坑坑洼洼。
我们到永春时已经7点钟了，在“青海”饭店用了晚餐。
我在“青海”饭店尝到了当地最出名的小吃“芋头面线”，味道真的相当好;-p 之后，我们去了姑妈家，我们受到了姑妈一家热情的拥抱。
那晚我们聊了很久，很迟才入睡。
因为当时是春季，永春的天气一整天都是相当凉爽的（大约18-22ºC)，因此我们不管是去散步还是逛街都必须穿上风衣。
永春的本地话是闽南话，如果你跟他们说普通话，他们就知道你不是当地人。
这可不好，因为他们卖东西给你的时候可能会抬高价钱。
不过我们还是相当幸运的，因为我们在这有亲戚，他们会帮我们跟那些小贩们讨价还价……。
呵呵！不管怎样，那里的东西还是相当便宜的，我买了许多衣服，鞋子，CD和日常用品。
永春人的生活简单而又轻松。
只要有空，他们就会3-4人坐在一起聊天或打牌。
因为天气凉爽，他们也爱喝各种热茶，他们不爱喝开水。
在永春，大部分人家都有一整套的中国茶具，这在当地是相当普遍的。

英语泛读教程3_课文翻译2、4、5单元
第二单元英国人的谨慎和礼貌在许多人看来，英国人极为礼貌，同他们交朋友很难。
但愿下列文字能够帮助你更好地了解英国人的性格特点。
对于其他欧洲人来说，英国人最著名的特点是‚谨慎‛。
一个谨慎的人不太会和陌生人聊天，不会流露出太多的情感，并且很少会兴奋。
要了解一个谨慎的人并非易事；他从不告诉你有关他自己的任何事，也许你和他工作了几年，却连他住在哪儿，有几个孩子，兴趣是什么，都不知道。
英国人就有类似的倾向。
如果乘公共汽车去旅行，他们会尽量找一个没人坐的位子；如果是乘火车，他们会找一个没人的单间。
如果他们不得不与陌生人共用一个单间时，那么即使火车驶出了很多英里，他们也不会开口交谈。
一旦谈起来的话，他们不会轻易问及像‚你几岁？‛或者甚至‚你叫什么名字？‛等私人问题。
像‚你的手表是在哪儿买的？‛或者‚你的收入是多少？‛这样的问题几乎不可想象。
同样，在英国，人们交谈时一般声音都很轻、很有节制，大声谈话会被视为没有教养。
在某种程度上，不愿意与他人交流是一种不幸的品质，因为它可能会给人造成态度冷淡的印象。
而事实上，英国人（也许除了北方人）并不以慷慨和好客而著称。
而另一方面，虽然谨慎使他们不易与人沟通,但他们内心还是很有人情味的。
如果一个陌生人或外国人友善地将这种隔阂打破那么一会儿，他们可能会满心欢喜。
与英国人的谨慎紧密相连的品质是英国式的谦逊。
在内心深处，英国人可能比任何人都高傲，但是当他们与别人相处时，他们十分看重谦逊的品质，至少要表现出谦虚的样子。
自我标榜会被认为没有教养。
让我们假设，有一个人非常擅长打网球，但如果有人问他是否是个优秀选手时，他很少会说‚是‛，不然，人们会认为他很高傲。
他可能会作出类似这样的回答，‚不算太差，‛或者‚嗯，我非常喜欢网球。
‛这样的自我贬低是典型的英国式的。
而且当这一品质与他们的谨慎混合在一起时，常常形成一种漠然的气氛，这在外国人看来难于理解，甚至令人恼火。
著名的英国人的幽默感也是大同小异。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。
但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。
冰雪卫士奈拉·B·斯密斯????1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。
他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。
他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。
但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。
1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。
希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。
他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。
希特勒希望速战速决，但是，就像在他之前的拿破仑一样，他得到的是痛苦的教训。
仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。
拿破仑发起的战役????1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。
这些士兵受过良好训练，作战力强，装备精良。
这支军队被称为大军。
拿破仑对马到成功充满自信，预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。
????不久，拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。
拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。
令他吃惊的是，俄国人并不奋起抵抗。
相反，他们一路东撤，沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。
大军紧追不舍，但它的长驱直入很快由于粮草运输缓慢而停顿下来。
????到了8月，法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战，这一战役中，双方各有上万人阵亡。
可是，俄国人仍能在自己的国土上继续后撒。
拿破仑未能取得决定性的胜利。
此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。
是继续追击俄国，军队，还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克，在那儿度过将到的冬天? ????拿破仑孤注一掷，决定向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。
1812年9月7日，法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。
夜幕降临时，3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡，倒在了战场上。

寻找可以依靠的坚实臂膀在美国，越来越多的老人独居。
他们生病时处境通常显得很悲惨。
简·格罗斯在下面的文章中指出这些老年人的问题。
每次人们在医生办公室给格雷斯·麦凯比递来一份紧急情况联系人表格时，空格处总令她心中发怵。
对任何有配偶、伴侣或子女的人来说，这是个很简单的问题。
但是，75岁的麦凯比女士一直独居。
谁能和她一起渡过难关?情况最糟糕的时候，谁会关心她?这些曾是假设的问题。
但是现在，麦凯比女士视力越来越差，几乎完全看不见。
她一直有很多朋友，但从没请过谁为她负起责任，比如，接急诊室半夜来的电话，或因为她自己不能写支票而帮助付账单。
她在所有的朋友中，选定了一个心地善良、遇事不慌、有解决问题能力的人。
所以，她多次在空白处写止“夏洛特·弗兰克”，然后打电话说，“夏洛特，又把您写在单子上了，”于是，紧张时刻得到缓解。
麦凯比女士被一个鲁莽的司机撞倒在人行横道上，得了脑震荡，这时，年龄70岁，自己也独居的弗兰克女士在起居室长沙发上守了一夜。
麦凯比女士再也看不清标)隹字体时，弗兰克女士给她弄了一台电脑，把字体设置到最大，这样，她就能读报纸，从商品单定购货物。
“你会发现，有些好朋友成了至交，”麦凯比女士说，“夏洛克既实际又形象地告诉我要，抓住不放，我这样做了。
”无法统计出不同年龄生病或有残疾的独居者的数字，医院安排出院的人和家庭健康照料机构说，他们服务的明显无人照顾的独居者越来越多。
人口调查报告中，单人家庭，包括从未结婚者、离婚者和丧偶者，其数目明显增加。
2003年，近27％的美国家庭由独居者组成，高于1970年的18％，这些家庭注重的是不具有亲属的法律地位或社会地位的友谊。
人口统计学家警告说，生育高峰期出生的人老年化，疾病和残疾成为老年不可避免的必然结果，这将使独居者家庭队伍壮大。
美国医院协会资深副会长詹姆斯·本特利说，独居者属于最棘手的情况。
他说，任何病人或残疾人，在医院里和出院后都“需要有人负责照料他们”，但独居者在特别脆弱的时候，却是自己照料自己。

对于AI，我们关心的除了生活上的便利，比如未来的养老、育儿很大程度上要依赖机器人，从而解放人类。
另一个则是未来的就业，关于AI代替人工的传言一向甚嚣尘上。
自从工业革命以来，虽然有很多工作消失，但又有更多的岗位被创造出来，所以到底AI怎样代替人工？我们该不该担忧？怎么应对？今天的泛读从AI是否会取代人工入手，给大家带来两篇文章，第一篇来自经济学人，第二篇来自一个求职网站The Gateway 。
一起来看一下它们的观点。
AI may not be bad news for workersA new report argues that it can help them with their jobsA SPECTRE is haunting workers—the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The fear is that smart computer programs will eliminate millions of jobs, condemning a generation to minimum-wage drudgery or enforced idleness. Never mind the robots, fear the software.①spectre 本意是妖魔鬼怪，引申为引起恐慌的事物。
比如“经济衰退再次引起人们的恐慌”就可以说成：The recession is again raising the spectre of unemployment.②haunt 和spectre搭配，haunt可以归到【困扰】里面，代替be troubled by。
表示困扰，面对困难。
现在的网络语言会说：被...支配着，这样的表达太多了，比如be affiliated/plagued by, be obsessed by, be perplexed by, be trapped by, be beset by, be baffled by等，都是不错的表达，大家都可以记下来。
英语泛读教程1上课文+译文（Unit1-7）
Unit 11 TextFromLittle House in the Big WoodsBy Laura Ingalls WilderLaura Ingalls Wilder wrote many books about her life in the wilderness. This is a true story from one of her books. On the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin in 1872, she lived with her family in a little log house. It was miles from any neighbors and far from any town. One day her father was away from home, leaving the family alone in the wilderness. At night there came a big bear. What were the mother and her daughters going to do? Were they safe in the end? Please read the following story.Then one day Pa said that spring was coming.In the Big Woods the snow was beginning to thaw. Bits of it dropped from the branches of the trees and made little holes in the softening snowbanks below. At noon all the big icicles along the eaves of the little house quivered and sparkled in the sunshine, and drops of water hung trembling at their tips.Pa said he must go to town to trade the furs of the wild animals he had been trapping all winter. So one evening he made a big bundle of them. There were so many furs that when they were packed tightly and tied together they made a bundle almost as big as Pa.Very early one morning Pa strapped the bundle of furs on his shoulders, and started to walk to town. There were so many furs to carry that he could not take his gun.Ma was worried, but Pa said that by starting before sun-up and walking very fast all day he could get home again before dark.The nearest town was far away. Laura and Mary had never seen a town. They had never seen a store. They had never seen even two houses standing together. But they knew that in a town there were many houses, and a store full of candy and calico and other wonderful things—powder, and shot, and salt, and store sugar.They knew that Pa would trade his furs to the storekeeper for beautiful things from town, and all day they were expecting the presents he would bring them. When the sun sank low above the treetops and no more drops fell from the tips of the icicles they began to watch eagerly for Pa.The sun sank out of sight, the woods grew dark, and he did not come. Ma started supper and set the table, but he did not come. It was time to do the chores, and still he had not come.Ma said that Laura might come with her while she milked the cow. Laura could carry the lantern.So Laura put on her coat and Ma buttoned it up. And Laura put her hands into her red mittens that hung by a red yarn string around her neck, while Ma lighted the candle in the lantern.Laura was proud to be helping Ma with the milking, and she carried the lantern very carefully. Its sides were of tin, with places cut in them for the candle-light to shine through.When Laura walked behind Ma on the path to the barn, the little bits of candle-light from the lantern leaped all around her on the snow. The night was not yet quite dark. The woods were dark, but there was a gray light on the snowy path, and in the sky there were a few faint stars. The stars did not look as warm and bright as the little lights that came from the lantern.Laura was surprised to see the dark shape of Sukey, the brown cow, standing at the barnyard gate. Ma was surprised, too.It was too early in the spring for Sukey to be let out in the Big Woods to eat grass. She lived in the barn. But sometimes on warm days Pa left the door of her stall open so she could come into the barnyard. Now Ma and Laura saw her behind the bars, waiting for them.Ma went up to the gate, and pushed against it to open it. But it did not open very far, because there was Sukey, standing against it. Ma said, "Sukey, get over!" She reached across the gate and slapped Sukey's shoulder.Just then one of the dancing little bits of light from the lantern jumped between the bars of the gate, and Laura saw long, shaggy, black fur, and two little, glittering eyes.Sukey had thin, short, brown fur. Sukey had large, gentle eyes.Ma said, "Laura, walk back to the house."So Laura turned around and began to walk toward the house. Ma came behind her. When they had gone part way, Ma snatched her up, lantern and all, and ran. Ma ran with her into the house, and slammed the door.Then Laura said, "Ma, was it a bear?""Yes, Laura," Ma said. "It was a bear."Laura began to cry. She hung on to Ma and sobbed, "Oh, will he eat Sukey?""No," Ma said, hugging her. "Sukey is safe in the barn. Think, Laura—all those big, heavy logs in the barn walls. And the door is heavy and solid, made to keep bears out. No, the bear cannot get in and eat Sukey.”"Laura felt better then. "But he could have hurt us, couldn't he?" she asked."He didn't hurt us," Ma said. "You were a good girl, Laura, to do exactly as I told you, and to do it quickly, without asking why."Ma was trembling, and she began to laugh a little. "To think," she said, "I've slapped a bear!"Then she put supper on the table for Laura and Mary. Pa had not come yet. He didn't come. Laura and Mary were undressed, and they said their prayers and snuggled into the trundle bed.Ma sat by the lamp, mending one of Pa's shirts. The house seemed cold and still and strange, without pa.Laura listened to the wind in the Big Woods. All around the house the wind went crying as though it were lost in the dark and the cold. The wind sounded frightened.Ma finished mending the shirt. Laura saw her fold it slowly and carefully. She smoothed it with her hand. Then she did a thing she had never done before. She went to the door and pulled the leather latch-string through its hole in the door, so that nobody could get in from outside unless she lifted the latch. She came and took Carrie, all limp and sleeping, out of the big bed.She saw that Laura and Mary were still awake, and she said to them: "Go to sleep, girls. Everything is all right. Pa will be here in the morning." Then she went back to her rocking chair and sat there rocking gently and holding Baby Carrie in her arms.She was sitting up late, waiting for Pa, and Laura and Mary meant to stay awake, too, till he came. But at last they went to sleep.In the morning Pa was there. He had brought candy for Laura and Mary, and two pieces of pretty calico to make them each a dress. Mary's was a china-blue pattern on a white ground, and Laura's was dark red with little golden-brown dots on it. Ma had calico for a dress, too; it was brown, with a big, feathery white pattern all over it.They were all happy because Pa had got such good prices for his furs that he could afford to get them such beautiful presents.The tracks of the big bear were all around the barn, and there were marks of his claws on the walls. But Sukey and the horses were safe inside. All that day the sun shone, the snow melted, and little streams of water ran from the icicles, which all the time grew thinner. Before the sun set that night, the bear tracks were only shapeless marks in the wet, soft snow.(1,236 words) 译文：森林中的小屋劳拉·英格尔·威尔德劳拉·英格尔·威尔德写了很多书,讲述她在荒野里的生活。
大学英语(四)泛读21 In praise of praise翻译——为恭维高歌
为恭维高歌-泛滥的奉承是如何削弱私人称赞价值的里查德.斯坦杰尔我理想的读者, 由于像您这样获得了显而易见成就的人肯定已经不再为吹捧所左右, 所以我就不以称赞您的智慧开始这篇随笔了。
像您这样具有强烈自信和敏锐洞察力的人需要的不再是别人的恭维, 而是率真的坦率。
这并非我个人的想法, 但是, 亲爱的读者, 我怀疑。
实际上, 你越是自负, 你就越可能被人恭维。
自信的人往往将得到的称赞认为是（他人）明智的判断, 而不是讨好。
可是也许您, 无私的读者, 您却觉得您并没有得到应得的讨好。
这并不为怪, 因为今天已到愈演愈烈危险地步的那种奉承, 是对电影明星和名流们的荒唐的奉承。
诸如此类的大众奉承有着可观的级别夸大, 有着一种名流的光环效应, 结果是在不应该有赞扬的地方却充斥了整个社会范围互相吹捧。
如此这般的的大众奉承导致了私人称赞变得一文不值。
总体而言, 我们已经变得更加小心谨慎地, 更冷嘲热讽地对待（别人的）赞扬了。
任何人都不想看上去像一个一味讨好的谄媚者。
任何人不想看上去太热切。
表示极为赞赏的语言已经变得苍白无力, 而且虚假了。
如果迈克·奥维兹都能算得上极具远见卓识, 那么查尔斯·达尔文又该被称作什么呢？如果唐纳德·特奥普都能算得上极具魅力, 那么马丁·路德金又该被称作什么呢？如果所有每一个当前受欢迎的女演员都能算得上聪颖出色, 那么你那拼写测验的了88分的7岁的女儿又该被称作什么呢？恭维从来都不是献媚的想法。
根据米尔顿的话, 撒旦完全是个大献媚者。
但丁让拍马屁的人堕入地狱, 与暴君和凶手相邻的第8层地狱。
在阶层性的社会中, 譬如在中世纪和文艺复兴的时代里, 由于奉承是一种颠覆上神灵规定的社会的顺序的手段而被认为极端危险的。
如果你讨好国王以求他封你为贵族, 那么你就是在不正当地玩弄当前的局面。
但是奉承甚至早在伊甸园之前就已经开始了。
黑猩猩象整天互相梳毛以此作为擢升的一个有效手段。
英语泛读4全文翻译
英语泛读4全文翻译1.天才与工匠许多人羡慕作家们的精彩小说，但却很少有人知道作家们是如何辛勤笔耕才使一篇小说问世的。
以下的短文将讨论小说的酝酿过程，以及作家是如何将这小说雕琢成一件精致完美的艺术品。
有一次，我在暮色中来到小树林边一棵鲜花盛开的小桃树前。
我久久站在那里凝视着，直到最后一道光线消逝。
我看不到那树原先的模样，看不见曾穿透果核，能崩碎你的牙齿的力量，也看不到那使它与橡树和绿草相区别的原则。
显现在我面前的，是一种深邃而神秘的魅力。
当读者读到一部杰出的小说时，他也会这样如痴如狂，欲将小说字字句句刻骨铭心，不提出任何问题。
但即使是个初学写作者也知道，除那将小说带到世上的文字之外，还有更多的构成小说生命的因素，小说的生命并不始于写作，而始于内心深处的构思。
要创作出有独创性的作品，并不要求懂得创造的功能。
多少世纪以来的艺术、哲学及科学创造都出自人们的头脑，而创造者也许从未想到去关注创造的内在过程。
然而，在我看来，对创造工作一定程度的了解，至少会使我们通过知道两个事实，增长我们处理正在出现的故事的智慧。
首先，天赋不是掌握了技艺的艺术家独有的特性，而是人脑的创造性功能。
不仅所有对技艺的掌握都含有天赋，而且每个人都具有天赋，无论他的天赋发展是何等不充分。
对技艺的掌握是天赋的显现，是经过培养的，发展了的和受过训练的天赋。
你的天赋在最原始的层面上起作用。
它的任务就是创造。
它是你的故事的创造者。
第二，将你的小说带进世界的文字是艺术家的工作，它就和一个泥瓦匠的工作一样，有意识、谨慎而实实在在。
天赋正如理解力、记忆力和想象力一样是我们的精神禀赋中的天然部分，而技艺却不是。
它必须通过实践才能学到，并要通过实践才能掌握。
如果要使在我们内心深处浮现的故事跃然纸上，光彩照人，那么，每个故事都须有感染力极强的优雅文笔。
只有健全的技艺才能使我们做到这一点。
一个故事是如何酝酿成的呢？据说，我们从一生中的前二十年，或许前五年起就开始写作。

美国被嘲笑为一个无知的民族。
夸张？悖论？仔细想想这个问题。
你会发现美国教育中的缺陷是不可否认的。
美国的教育制度
1. 教育制度应该在人们的生活中（扮演的角色）起到的作用是使人们成为有意识的，具有批判性思维的人，而不是不是被动的接受知识，而是对教给他们的知识提出疑问的人。
教育应当授予学生他们赖以生存认知世界的能力和悟性。
然而，众所周知，美国的教育制度却培养出一批批对世界及其它文化一无所知的可悲之人。
原因之一在与美国目前的教育制度没有给批判思维足够的发展空间，而是为全球化经济培养出大量碌碌无为的驯服之人以维持两级分化的经济格局。
如果我们看看所教授的各种各样的课程和学科就发现问题一目了然。
这个国家的学校充斥着模糊的课程设置，认为通过不断测验,学生们就能为一个崭新的全球化的社会做好准备…无论这个社会是什么样子。
2.最近和一个同时聊天，我们讨论了40年前如何对待非洲裔美国人的，令我惊讶的是作为一名非洲裔美国大学生，她对此事竟然一无所知。
我不禁疑惑她学了什么类型的历史和社会学的课；从她谈话我感觉到，一个也没有。
秉着非裔美国人得到公正的待遇，我从上大学开始，就智力研究非洲历史和非裔美国人的历史，而每个学生都有这样的机会。
但不幸的是，大多数人上大学的目的是获得经济上的回报，而并非扩大自己的认知范围。
3. 为了避免把学生培养成对他们国家的历史和周围的世界一无所知的人，这个国家的教育系统应该在几个方面进行改革。
家长的参与应该是强制性的，就像上学的学生必须于毕业。
（其中一个原因是当前状态下的教育系统没有为批判性思维留下多少余地，而是把个人训练成碌碌无为的听话的人以维持两级分化的经济格局。
）缺乏家长参与是导致当前教育体系失败的一个重要因素。
家长需要向孩子灌输缺乏教育对他们的未来是多么有害的概念。
才华横溢的老师可以带领学生领略奥林匹斯山的巍峨挺拔和南极洲的寒冷荒凉，但老师是在教书育人而不是为人父母。
许多教师把大部分时间用来管教孩子和充当临时保姆的角色上，而这两件事都不在他们的职责范围内。
为了整个教育体系的良好运转，老师们需要家长的协助，教育始于家庭。
4. 教育系统的资金应该进行重组。
公立学校的资金通常由物业税提供，这导致了非常不公平的教育机会分配制度。
相比贫困地区富有的社区可以给当地学校投入更多资金。
这种情况直接影响了郊区和贫困地区的教学质量。
不让一个孩子掉队的法案把情况变得更糟，因为它把所需要的测试和结果公开报告。
家长买房子的时候，想买有较高测试成绩的学区的房子，这就抬高了这些地区的房价，意味着只有富人才能在表现好的学区里买得起房子。
也意味着这些学区有更多的物业税，然而那些表现差的学区因为不符合联邦标准而失去了资金来源。
应该有一套公平的税收体制以服务于教育，这种体制不是建立在自己拥有住房者的基础上。
政府资金，大部分都被州或地方政府分配给各种各样的学校，这些分配由于成绩会有很大的区别。
在全国范围内由于成绩不同，每个学生的平均资金相差超过1000美元，一些大的州，像纽约，伊利诺伊州，宾夕法尼亚，（不太情愿的情况下）引导国家公平教育基金。
孩子不应该因为经济背景或者种族成分，遭受这些不平等，教育对于穷人和富人，黑人或者白人不应该有区别。
每个就读于公立学校的孩子应给予同等的教育。
均等的教育资金能够让教师有合适的资源去更好的教育学生。
择校和公立学校私立化将不再是一个影响因素，因为在我的计划之下，美国的教育系统将充分均等地由联邦政府提供资金并被严密的监控。
随着大量的资金涌入到教育系统，学校的教育体制将会好转，因为资金短缺是大部分公立学校面临的最严峻问题。
5. 应该调整课程大纲的设置，以适应不同文化和种族的大熔炉。
从小学到高中，学生从课本中所学的知识都充斥着富裕白人男人的故事和数据，好像妇女和其他少数群体不存在或者对美国的历史没有做出任何贡献一样。
难怪那么多学生对美国的历史一无所知，因为他们无法把这些主人公同历史相联系。
应该要求学生上一些涉及国家和世界上边缘化和被压迫的历史的课程，加深他们对周围世界的认知。
应该要求他们多读一些启发他们思维的书，而不仅仅是读为下次考试储备信息的书籍。
如果更多的学生了解到除他们之外的价值观和文化，政府将很难或者不可能说谎或者运用宣传的手段让民众相信事事顺利并且领导人很有能力。
应该取消高风险的测试，因为大部分出题人对学生的人口结构，种族和经济背景一无所知，并且这些测试对少数人群和贫穷者有偏见。
如果一定要测试，应该给予免费的额外辅导。
6. 雇佣称职的教师，董事会成员和管理人员对教育系统的结构重组非常重要。
拥有资质合格的管理人员和董事会成员是非常重要的。
成为一个管理人员的资格是什么？有什么限定性条件么？这些
都是需要回答的问题。
只是因为拥有学位的人并不意味着能做好这份工作。
不应该因为某个人和市长关系融洽就推选他们为董事会成员；所有董事会成员都应该有一个教育硕士学位，或不遗余力维护社会公益。
对于教师来说，教育系统应确保最好的老师有合适的职务（优中选优）而且要有频繁的教育评估。
这将为家长和教育系统提供一个机会：找出什么是错的，什么是需要纠正的问题。
公共教育需要真正关心孩子们和他们教育的老师和董事会成员，而不是那些看中教师工作可以享受到的便利，如：暑假及其他休假，逐步提升的薪水及丰厚的报酬。
美国儿童正在由于教育系统有人不称职而蒙受巨大损失。
7. 一些政客用“贫困文化”理论来解释不同种群学习能力的不同，如果教育体系能够加以调整来满足所有学生的需要，而不仅仅只是有钱的学生，那么，这将揭露“贫困文化”理论其实是一种指责穷人贫穷现状的无耻的行为。
贫困的学生在学校没有取得成功所需的资源，所以他们已经适应了为贫困所困扰的生活，因而，穷学生和富学生间并无不可逾越的鸿沟。
穷学生不得不去用过时的教科书、19世纪80年代末的落后的电脑，并且连基本的洗漱用品都缺少，因此，他们在学术上取得进步的希望是非常渺茫的，最终很有可能面临辍学。
8. 在一个公平公正的社会里，我所提及的教育体系应当在几十年前付诸实施，而在美国没有甚至在将来也不会实施。
在美国这样一个等级制度森严的社会，总有人处于社会底层，而保持这种等级的最佳方式是通过教育来误导脆弱的下一代。
对教育制度弊端的忽视，将会威胁美国整体经济繁荣，除非采取措施，降低教育不平等现象，不然贫富差距将会恶化，美国将因为这个国家受教育程度低而声名狼藉。
