大学英语精读第三版第一册【课文翻译】
大学英语精读第三版第一册【课文翻译】Unit1课程开始之际,就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。
Some Strategies or Learning English学习英语绝非易事。
它需要刻苦和长期努力。
虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语,然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。
以下便是其中的几种。
1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。
你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差?其实,责任并不在你的记忆力。
如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑,必定有一些生词会被挤出来。
你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。
积极词汇需要经常练习,有用的词汇必须牢记,而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。
你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。
2.密切注意地道的表达方式。
你可曾纳闷过,为什么我们说 "我对英语感兴趣"是"I'm interested in English",而说"我精于法语"则是"I'm good at French"?你可曾问过自己,为什么以英语为母语的人说"获悉消息或秘密"是"learn the news or secret",而"获悉某人的成功或到来"却是"learn of someone's success or arrival"?这些都是惯用法的例子。
在学习英语时,你不仅必须注意词义,还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。
3.每天听英语。
经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力,而且有助你培养说的技能。
除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外,你还可以听英语广播,看英语电视和英语电影。
第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段,你也许不能听懂很多。

大学英语精读第3册第1课课文及课后答案UNIT 11.课文翻译一位青年男子发现,漫无目的的逛街也会惹官司。
误会一场接一场,直到最终他必须出庭受审……法律小纠葛我平时就一次陷入法律困境。
当时被捕并被传上法院的全过程是件相当不愉快的经历,但现在可用此编个好故事。
让人非常烦恼的是我被抓和接着在法庭的命运中那些主观武断的情景。
此事大约发生在十二年前的二月份。
那里我已中学毕业了几个月,并要等到该年十月份才能上大学。
那段时间,我仍住在家中。
一天早晨,我去了里士满,那是离我的地址不远的伦敦郊区。
我正在找一份临时工作以便攒点钱去旅行。
由于天气晴朗,且无急事,我便悠闲自得地看看商店橱窗,逛逛公园,甚至有时只是呆站着到处观望。
很可能是这种明显的无所事事的样子导致了我的不幸。
事情发生的时间是大约十一点半。
我正从地方图书馆走出来,本想在那里找一份工作而一无所获。
此时看到一位男士从街对面走来,显然打算和我讲话。
我猜想他是向我问时间。
然而,他说他是警官并要逮捕我。
起初,我想这是在开玩笑,但接着又来了一位警察,并穿着警服。
我便深信不疑了。
“但为什么呢?”我问。
“到处遛达,有作案嫌疑。
”他说。
“作什么案?”我问。
“偷窃,”他说。
“偷什么?”我问。
“牛奶瓶,”他说,还做出非常严肃的样子!“噢,”我说。
事情的缘由是那一带有许多小窃贼,特别是有从门前台阶上盗奶瓶的小偷。
接着,我犯了一个大错误。
那时我正十九岁,头发长而蓬乱,并把自己当作六十年代“逆文化年轻人”的一员。
因此,我装着一副冷漠的毫不在乎的样子。
所以我说“你们跟踪我多久啦?”说话的腔调尽量装出无所谓有样子,就象随便谈话一样。
于是在他们看来我是十分熟悉此类事情,这使他们更加坚信我彻头彻尾是个名声不好的人。
几分钟后,一辆警车来了。
“坐到后排去,”他们说:“把手放在前排椅背上,不要挪动。
”他俩坐在我的两边。
这倒不是开玩笑的。
在警察局他们审问了我几个小时。
我继续尽力做出深谙世故并对此事习以为常的样子。

现代大学英语精读(杨立民主编)第三册课文翻译
第一课大学时代鲍勃K哈特曼1.你可曾考虑过作为一个大学生你生活中正在发生和即将发生的变化?你可曾想到过大学时代教授们以及其他教职工为了你的成长和发展制定了目标?你可曾注意过你在从青少年渐渐成人的过程中会发生某些变化?尽管大学生很少想这些,但是在大学生时代很可能会发生一些主要的变化。
2.在这段时期,学生们正经受自我认同危机,他们努力要了解自己的身份,掌握自身的优缺点。
当然,优缺点他们兼而有之,且两者都为数不少。
重要的是人们如何看待自己,其他人又如何看待他们。
皮尔斯和兰多曾在一篇文章中探讨了爱立信在《国际社会百科全书》中有关理论,根据他们的观点,性格特征是由先天基因(即父母的遗传物质)所决定,由外部环境而形成,并受偶然事件的影响的。
人们受环境的影响,反过来也影响他们的环境。
人们如何看待自己扮演的这两个角色无疑正是他们性格特征的部分表现。
3.学生们经历自我认同危机的时候,他们也开始渐渐独立,但是可能仍然非常依赖父母。
这种介于独立与依赖之间的冲突常常发生在青少年末期。
事实上,这种冲突很可能因为他们选择继续接受大学教育而愈发激烈。
高中一毕业,一些学生便会立即走入社会开始工作。
这种选择的结果就是他们可能他们在经济上获得独立。
但是大学生已经选择了用几年的时间继续掌握新知并且发展自我,因此他们在一定程度上还要依赖父母。
4.1984年4月杰利弗K A K霍夫曼在《心理咨询杂志》上发表了《即将成人的青年与父母的心理距离》,文章中他提及了人与父母产生心理距离的四个不同方面。
第一,独立处理日常生活的能力,它包括个人独立处理实际事物和自身事务的能力,如理财的能力、选购服装的能力和决定每天工作日程的能力。
第二,态度独立,即个人学会正确看待和接受自己与父母的态度、价值和信仰上的差异。
第三个心理分离过程是情感独立,霍夫曼将这一过程定义为“摆脱父母的认可、亲近、陪伴和情感支持的过分依赖”。
例如,大学生们会随自己所愿自由选择专业,而且并不认为必须征得父母的认同。

But when those methods don't work, you have to use the dictionary. A dictiona ry is like any other tool: you must familiarize yourself with it and learn how to use it before it begins to work well for you. We would a dvise you to use an all English dictionary, as it provides you with w ord definitions often impossible to learn in other ways, Here is an e xample of the dictionary entry for the word "shaft".Now let's see if you can decide which of the definitions from the a bove entry best fits the "shaft" in each of the sentences below and w hat part of speech it is.1. The accident took place when the miners had just gone down the s haft.2. There seemed to be a shaft of light in the far distance. None of us could tell what it was.3.

But a few years ago he was strong and he liked his job as a cop in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont.One day in 1979, he was informed that a man was firing a gun in front of an apartment complex. The man had quarreled with his girlfriend a nd had fired a gun into the air to scare away people who were interfe ring. Then he dragged her into his apartment.Smith and his partner hurried there, knocked, and told him to let the girl go. But the man threatened that if they came in, he would blow their rear quarters off. When they kicked the door open, the man shot twice, Smith was hit in the hand and leg. Then the man threw down hi s gun and surrendered.()He was Kerry Rudman, 33, and no stranger to trouble. At the time of the shooting, he was awaiting trial for robbing a jewelry store in a suburban shopping mall.Smith spent a week in the hospital and six weeks at home. But by 1981 he had to have further surgery on his hand. And month later, he suff ered a stroke. The doctors said the blood clot could have been the result of the bullet wounds.His marriage suffered and ended in divorce. That, too he says was the result of the shooting.Rudman pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a total of six years in pr ison for the robbery and the shooting of Smith.But he served less than half of that. He was out in 27 months. ()So t hat amounts to about a year for shooting and possibly disabling a cop, and a year for robbing a jewelry store.While in prison, Rudman developed a thirst for knowledge and went to the prison library. He read law books, and then filed a federal suit against the policemen. He said they attacked him and that he shot onl y in self-defence. And they beat him so badly that they broke one of his fingers. This ,he said, deprived him of his civil rights, and he asked for $ 150,000 in damages.When Smith heard about the law suit, he was outraged at Rudman's gall. So Smith sued Rudman for shooting him."It wasn't that I was after money. I just wanted to make sure that he was found guilty again in the civil suit."A jury agreed with Smith. They later awarded him $ 35,000 damages fro m Rudman, But Smith hasn't seen a nickel of the money.It turned out that Rosemont's insurance company decided that fighting Rudman's civil rights suit wasn't worth the legal expense. So the co mpany offered Rudman a $6,000 settlement. (3)Being no dummy, he quick ly accepted. Not many guys shoot a cop and pocket $6,000 for their ef forts.Smith's lawyer went before a federal magistrate who is handing this m atter and filed legal papers that would force the insurance company t o give the $6,000 to Smith instead of Rudman. That does make a certai n amount of sense, since Rudman, the exgunman, does owe Smith, the ex -cop $35,000.But for some reason this angered the federal magistrate. He griped th at Smith's lawyer was just harassing Rudman and his lawyer. (4)So in what seems like an unusual ruling, he told the insurance company to w rite out a check to him, the magistrate. Then he, the magistrate, cou ld write out a personal check to Rudman, the ex-gunman. And that woul d settle the affair. The checks could be written at any moment.When the magistrate, James T.Balog, was asked about this check-writin g arrangement, he said he could not discuss it since the case is still pending. (5)But if he goes ahead with it, Rudman will get the money. And Smith, the disabled cop, will limp away to a cabin in Tennessee, knowing that all he got was the shaft.Exercise A1can you tell correctly, with reference to the dictionary entry giv en above, what "all he got was the shaft" (L54) means?2please look up the words below in an all English dictionary:(1)mall(2)sue(3)jury(4)dummy(5)pendingexercise Bchoose the best answer for each of the following:1.

一种误解导致另一种误解,直到最终他必须在法庭上接受审判。
法律小冲突我生平只有一次陷入与法律的冲突。
被捕与被带上法庭的整个经过在当时是一种令人极不愉快的经历,但现在这却成为一个好故事的素材。
尤其令我恼怒的是我被捕及随后在法庭上受审时的种种武断情形。
事情大约发生在十二年前的二月,那是我中学毕业已经几个月了,但要等到十月份才能上大学,所以当时我仍在家中。
一天上午,我来到离我住地不远的、位于伦敦郊区的里士满。
那是我正在找一份临时的工作,以便赚点钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗,又没什么急事,我便悠然自得得看着商店橱窗,逛逛公园,有时干脆停下来四处观望,一定是这种无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。
事情发生在十一点半左右,我在当地图书馆谋职未成,刚从那出发,就看到一个人从马路对面走过来,显然是想跟我说话。
我原以为他要问我时间,想不到,他说他是警官,要逮捕我,开始我还以为这是个玩笑,但接着又来了身穿警服的警察,这下我无可置疑了。
“为什么要抓我?”我问。
“四处游荡,有作案嫌疑。
”他说。
“做什么案?”我又问。
“偷东西。
”他说。
“偷什么?”我追问。
“牛奶瓶。
”他说,表情十分严肃。
“哦。
”我说。
事情后来是这样的,这一带经常发生小偷小摸案件,尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着,我犯了个大错。
那时我才十九岁,留着一头凌乱的长发,自认为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
因此,我想对此表现出一种冷漠,满不在乎的态度,于是用一种很随便无所谓的腔调说:“你们跟踪我多久了?”这样一来,在他们眼里,我是惯于此种情形的,这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。
几分钟后,来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去,”他们说,“把手放在前排的座椅上,不许乱动。
” 他俩分坐在我的左右,这下了不是闹着玩的了。

一天上午,我来到离我住地不远的伦敦郊区的里士满,那是我正在找一份临时的工作,一边攒些钱去旅游。
由于天体晴朗,有没有什么急事,我便悠然自得的看看窗店橱窗,逛逛公园,有时干脆停下来四处观望。
一定是这种显然无所事事的样子使我倒了霉。
事情发生在十一点半左右,当我在当地图书馆谋之未成,刚从那里出来,就看见一个人从马路对面走过来,显然是想跟我说话。
我愿意为他是要问我时间。
想不到他说他是警察,要逮捕我。
开始我还以为这是个玩笑。
但紧接着又来了一个穿着警服的警察,这下我无可置疑了。
“为什么抓我?”我问。
“四处游荡,有作案嫌疑,”他说。
“做什么案?”我又问。
“偷东西,”他说。
“偷什么”我追问。
“牛奶瓶”他说,表情极端严肃。
“噢,”事情是这样的,这一带经常发生小偷小摸的案件,尤其是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着,我犯了个大错误,那是我才十九岁,留着一头乱蓬蓬的长发,自以为是六十年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
因此,我想对此表现出一副冷漠,满不在乎的态度,于是用一种很随便的无所谓的腔调说:“你们跟我多久了?”这样一来,我在他们眼里,我是惯于此种情形的,这又使他们确信我是一个彻头彻尾的坏蛋。
几分钟后来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去,”他们说:“把手放在椅背上,不许乱动。
”他俩分别坐在我的左右,这下可不是闹着玩的了。
在警察局,他们审问了我好几个小时。
我继续装着老于世故,对此种事习以为常的样子。
当他们问我一直在干什么事时,我告诉他们我在找工作。

Unit 1 A Brush with the Law一个青年发现,在大街上毫无明显目的地游逛会招致警方的责罚。
误会一个接一个发生,最终他只得出庭受审……与警察的一场小冲突我平生只有一次跟警方发生纠葛。
被捕和出庭的整个过程在当时是一件非常不愉快的事,但现在倒成了一篇很好的故事。
这次经历令人可恼之处在于围绕着我的被捕以及随后庭上审讯而出现的种种武断专横的情况。
事情发生在大约12年前,其时正是2月。
几个月前我中学毕业了,但上大学要等到10月。
当时我还在家中居住。
一天早晨,我来到里士满。
这里是伦敦的一个郊区,离我住的地方不远。
我在寻找一份临时工作,以便积些钱去旅游。
由于天气晴朗,当时又无急事,我便慢悠悠看看橱窗,逛逛公园。
有时干脆停下脚步,四处张望。
现在看来,一定是这种明显的毫无目的的游逛,使我倒了霉。
事情发生在11点半钟光景。
我在当地图书馆谋职未成,刚刚走出来,便看到一个人穿越马路,显然是要来跟我说话。
我以为他要问我时间,不料他说他是警官,要逮捕我。
起先我还以为这是在开玩笑,但又一个警察出现在我的面前,这次是位身着警服的,这一下使我确信无疑了。
“为什么要抓我?”我问道。
“到处游荡,企图作案,”他说。
“作什么案?”我又问。
“偷窃,”他说。
“偷什么?”我追问。
“牛奶瓶,”他板着面孔说道。
“噢,”我说。
事情原来是这样的,在这一地区多次发生小的扒窃案,特别是从门前台阶上偷走牛奶瓶。
接着,我犯了一个大错误。
其时我年方19,留一头蓬乱的长发,自认为是60年代“青年反主流文化”的一员。
所以我想装出一副冷漠的、对这一事件满不在乎的样子。
于是我尽量用一种漫不经心的极其随便的腔调说,“你们跟踪我多久啦?”这样一来,在他们眼里,我就像是非常熟悉这一套的了,也使他们更加确信我是一个地地道道的坏蛋。
几分钟后,开来了一辆警车。
“坐到后面去,”他们说。
“把手放到前排座位的靠背上,不准挪动。
”他们分别坐在我的两边。
这可再也不是闹着玩的了。

UNIT 1:A Brush with the LawAnd so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that it I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'.所以我就没有了犯罪记录。
但当时,非常令人震惊的是宣布我无罪所明显依赖的事实。
即我操着标准的口音,我受人敬重的中产阶级的父母到了法庭,我有可靠的证人,并且看得出我能请得起一位很好的律师。
想到这次起诉时那种莫明其妙的做法,我敢肯定如果我出生于另一种背景的家庭,并真正是失了业,那很有可能我被判为有罪。
大学英语精读第三册课文和单词[董亚芬版]
Unit 1TextA young man finds that strolling along the streets without an obvious purpose can lead to trouble with the law. One misunderstanding leads to another until eventually he must appear in court for trial……A Brush with the LawI have only once been in trouble with the law. The whole process of being arrested and taken to court was a rather unpleasant experience at the time, but it makes a good story now. What makes it rather disturbing was the arbitrary circumstances both of my arrest and my subsequent fate in court.In happened in February about twelve years ago. I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October. I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived. I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go travelling. As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me. It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened. I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me. I thought he was going to ask me the time. Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me. At first I thought it was some kind of joke. But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt.'But what for?' I asked."Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,' he said.'What offence?' I asked.'Theft,' he said.'Theft of what?' I asked.'Milk bottles,' he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!'Oh,' I said.It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake. At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as part of the sixties' 'youth countercultrue. As a result, I want to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, 'How long have you been following me?' in the most casual and conversation tone I could manage. I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.'Get in the back," they said. 'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't moveThey got in on either side of me. I wasn't funny any more.At the police station they questioned me for several hours. I continued to try to look worldly and au fait with the situation. When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I'd been looking for a job. 'Aha,' I could see them thinking, 'unemployed'.Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates' Court the following Monday. Then they let me go.I wanted to conduct my own defence in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor. We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness. But he was never called on to give evidence. My 'trial' didn't get that far. The magistrate dismissed the case after fifteen minutes. I was free. The poor police had never stood a chance. The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police.And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the 'right' accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor's case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a 'brilliant academic record'.Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police. 'You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you,' he said to me reproachfully.What did the mean? Presumably that I should have looked outraged and said something like, 'Look here, do you know who you're talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record. How dare you arrest me!' Then they, presumably, would have apologized, perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way.NEW WORDSbrushn. brief fight or encounter 小冲突;小接触processn. course; method, esp. one used in manufacture 过程;制作法arbitrarya. based on one's own opinion only, not on reason 任意的;武断的circumstancen.

A wounded Union soldier is found hiding in a farmhouse near her home. She has to decide whether to help him or let him be captured. What will she choose to do?The Woman Who Would Not TellJanice Keyser Lester"I never di d hate the Yankees. All that hated was the war.……"That's how my great-aunt Bettie began her story. I heard it many times as a child, whenever my family visited Aunt Bettie in the old house in Berryville, Virginia. Aunt Bettie was almost 80 years old then. But I could picture her as she was in the story she told me —— barely 20, pretty, with bright blue eyes.Bettie Van Metre had good reason to hate the Civil War. One of her brother was killed at Gettysburg, another taken prisoner. Then her young husband, James, a Confederate officer, wascaptured and sent to an unknown prison camp somewhere.One hot day in late September Dick Runner, a former slave, came to Bettie with a strange report. He had been checking a farmhouse half a mile away from the Van Metre home, a farmhouse he thought was empty. But inside, he heard low groans. Following them to the attic, he found a wounded Union soldier, with a rifle at his side.When Aunt Bettie told me about her first sight of the bearded man in the stained blue uniform, she always used the same words. "It was like walking into a nightmare: those awful bandages, that dreadful smell. That's what war is really like, child: no bugles and banners. Just pain and filth, futility and death."To Bettie Van Metre this man was not an enemy but rather a suffering human being. She gave him water and tried to clean his terrible wounds. Then she went out into the cool air and leaned against the house, trying not to be sick as she thought of what she had seen ——that smashed right hand, that missing left leg.The man's papers Bettie found in the attic established his identity: Lt. Henry Bedell, Company D, 11th Vermont V olunteers, 30 year old. She knew that she should report the presence of this Union officer to the Confederate army. But she also knew that she would not do it. This is how she explained it to me: "I kept wondering if he had a wife somewhere, waiting, and hoping, and not knowing —— just as I was. It seemed to me that the only thing that mattered was to get her husband back to her."Slowly, patiently, skillfully, James Van Metre's wife fanned the spark of life that flickered in Henry Bedell. Of drugs or medicines she had almost none. And she was not willing to take any from the few supplies at the Confederate hospital. But she did the best she could with what she had.As his strength returned, Bedell told Bettie about his wife and children in Westfield, Vermont. And BedelL listened as she told him about her brothers and about James. "I knew his wife must be praying for him," Aunt Bettie would say to me, "just as I was praying for James. It was strange how close I felt to her."The October nights in the valley grew cold. The infection in Bedell's wounds flared up. With Dick and his wife, Jennie, helping, she moved the Union officer at night, to a bed in a hidden loft above the warm kitchen of her own home.But the next day, Bedell had a high fever. Knowing that she must get help or he would die, she went to her long-time friend and family doctor. Graham Osborne.Dr. Osborne examined Bedell, then shook his head. There was little hope, he said, unless proper medicine could be found."All right, then," Bettie said. "I'll get it from the Yankees at Harpers Ferry."The doctor told her she was mad. The Union headquarters were almost 20 miles away. Even if she reached them, the Yankees would never believe her story."I'll take proof," Bettie said. She went to the loft and came back with a blood-stained paper bearing the official War Department seal. "This is a record of his last promotion," she said. "When I show it, they'll have to believe me."She made the doctor writer out list of the medical items he needed. Early the next morning she set off.For five hours she drove, stopping only to rest her horse. The sun was almost down when she finally stood before the commanding officer at Harpers Ferry.Gen. John D. Stevenson listened, but did not believe her. "Madam," he said, "Bedell's death was reported to us.""He's alive," Bettie insisted. "But he won't be much longer unless he has the medicines on that list.""Well," the general said finally, "I'm not going to risk the lives of a patrol just to find out." He turned to a junior officer. "See that Mrs. Van Metre gets the supplies." He brushed aside Bettie's thanks. "You're a brave woman," he said, "whether you're telling the truth or not."With the medicines that Bettie carried to Berryville, Dr. Osborne brought Bedell through the crisis. Ten days later Bedell was hobbling on a pair of crutches that Dick had made for him. "I can't go on putting you in danger," Bedell told Bettie. "I'm strong enough to travel now. I'd lie to go back as soon as possible."So it was arranged that Mr. Sam, one of Bettie's neighbors and friends, should go and help Bettie deliver Bedeel to Union headquarters at Harpers Ferry in his wagon.They hitched Bettie's mare alongside Mr. Sam's mule. Bedell lay down in an old box filled with hay, his rifle and crutches beside him.It was a long, slow journey that almost ended in disaster. Only an hour from the Union lines, two horsemen suddenly appeared. One pointed a pistol, demanding money while the other pulled Mr. Sam from the wagon. Shocked, Bettie sat still. Then a rifle shot cracked out, and the man with the pistol fell to the ground dead. A second shot, and the man went sprawling. It was Bedell shooting! Bettie watched him lower the rifle and brush the hay out of his hair. "Come on, Mr. Sam," he said. "Let's keep moving."At Harpers Ferry, the soldiers stared in surprise at the old farmer and the girl. They were even more amazed when the Union officer with the missing leg rose from his hay-filled box.Bedell was sent to Washington. There he told his story to Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton. Stanton wrote a letter of thanks to Bettie and-signed an order to free James Van Metre from prison. But first James had to be found. It was arranged for Bedell to go with Bettie as she searched for her husband.Records showed that a James Van Metre had been sent to a prison camp in Ohio. But when the ragged prisoners were paraded before Bettie, James was not there. A second prison was checked, with the same result. Bettie Van Metre fought back a chilling fear that her husband was dead.Then at Fort Delaware, near the end of the line of prisoners a tall man stepped out and stumbled into Bettie's arms. Bettie held him, tears streaming down her face. And Henry Bedell, standing by on his crutches, wept, too.NEW WORDStellv. act as an informer 告发Yankeen.

Do the rewards teaching outweigh the trying comments? Answering these questions is not a simple task. Let's see what the author says.Why I TeachPeter G. BeidlerWhy do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn't want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a "step up" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.Certainly I don't teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. Sweaty-palm, because I'm always nervous before I enter theclassroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual.Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel compelled to share. Sometimes I am amazed that my students actually take notes on what I say in class!Why, then, do I teach?I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change —— and, more important, my students change.I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, I'm my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can't? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I once taught a course called "Self-Reliance in a Technological Society." My 15 students read Emerson, Thoreau, and Huxley. They kept diaries. They wrote term papers.But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a run-down house and practiced self-reliance by renovating it. At the end of the semester, we would the house, repaid our loan, paid or taxes, and distributed the profits among the group.So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning.I have left out, however, the most important reasons why I teach.One is Vicky. My first doctoral student, Vicky was an energetic student who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet. She wrote articles and sent them off to learned journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me. But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won a fellowship to Harvard working on a book developing ideas she'd first had as my student.Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then switched to English because he decided he liked people better than things.There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project. I was here when she came back. I was there when she told me that she later became interested in the urban poor and went on to become a civil rights lawyer.There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more by intuition than most of us learn by analysis. Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college.These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.A "promotion" out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, "What is the point of being rich?"And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters?But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher's life and begins to breathe.
