上海交大版应用型大学英语综合教程1The Story of Steve JobsThis is the text of the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, CEO ofApple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, at StanfordUniversity, delivered on June 12,2005.1 l am honored to be with you today at your commencement fromone of the finest universities inthe world. l never graduated from college.Truth be told, this is theclosest l've ever gotten to a college graduation. l dropped out of ReedCollege after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in foranother 18 months or so before l reallyquit . So why did l drop out?lt started before l was born. My biological mother was a young,unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up foradoption . She felt very strongly that l should be adopted by collegegraduates,so every thing was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer andhis wife except that when l popped out they decided at the last minutethat they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waitinglist, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?"They said,"Ofcourse." My biological mother later found out that my mother hadnever graduated from college and that my father had never graduatedfrom high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers.Sheonly relented a few months later when my parents promised that lwould someday go to college.This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later l did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford,and all ofmy working-class parents' savings college was going to help mefigure it out.And here lwas spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So l decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK. ltwas pretty scary at thewerebeing spenton my college tuition. After sixmonths.l couldn'tsee the value init. l had no ideawhat l wanted todo with my lifeand no idea howtime, but looking back it was one of the best decisionsl ever made. The minute l dropped out l could stop taking the requiredclasses that didn't interest me, and begindropping in on theones that lookedfar moreinteresting. lt wasn't all romantic. l didn't have a dorm room, so lslept onhefloor in friends'rooms.I returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and lwould walk the 7 miles across town everySunday night to get one goodmeal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. l loved it. And much of what lstumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to bepriceless later on.Let me give you one example: Reed College at thattime offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster , every label on every drawer ,was beautifully hand calligraphed .4 Because l had dropped out and didn't have to take the normalclasses, I decided to take a calligraphy classto learn how to do this. l learned about serif and sanserif typefaces ,about varying the amount of space between different lettercombinations, about what makes great typography great. lt wasbeautiful, historical , artistically subtle in a way that science can'tcapture, and l found it fascinating .5 None of this had even a hopeof any practical application in my life.But ten years later , when we weredesigningthe first Macintoshcomputer , it all came back to me.And we designed it all into the Mac.lt was the first computer with beautiful typography. If l had neverdropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have neverhad multiple typefaces or proportionallyspaced fonts . And sinceWindows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computerwould have them. If l had never dropped out, I would have neverdropped in on this caligraphy class, and personal computers might nothave the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when l was in college.But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later .6 Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can onlyconnect them looking backwards. So youhave to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.Youhave to trust in something—your gut ,destiny , life, karma , whatever . This approach has never let medown,and it has made all the difference in my life.。

Unit 1Text A课文AHow to Be a Successful Language Learner?怎样成为一名成功的语言学习者"Learning a language is easy.Even a child can do it!"“学好一种语言很容易。
连孩子都做得到!”Most adults who are learning a second language would disagree with this statement. 大多数学习第二语言的成年人不会同意这一说法。
For them,learning a language is a very difficult task.对于他们来说,学习语言是一项很困难的任务。
They need hundreds of hours of study and practice,他们需要数百小时的学习和练习,and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.就是这样也不能保证每一位成年语言学习者都能成功。
Language learning is different from other kinds of learning.语言学习不同于基它种类的学习。
Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult tosucceed in language learning.有些很聪明并在自己领域很有成就的人却发现学好语言很难。
Conversely,some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.相反,有些成功的语言学习者发现他们在其它领域取得成就也很难。

Unit 1 The Story of Steve JobsThis is the text of the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, at Stanford University, delivered on June 12, 2005.1 I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out2 It started before I was born. My biological mother wasa young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him" They said, "Of course."

She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

上海交通大学英语讲义Exercise One 听力原文及答案
Exercise OneSection pound Dictation.This is the VOA Special English Health Report.Rice is an important part of many people’s diets. (1)Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Massachusetts havereleased a report about rice. It shows that eating white rice increases the risk of Type Two diabetes. However, eating brown rice reduces the risk of the disease.The World Health Organization says more than two hundred twenty million people worldwide have diabetes. Type Two diabetes results when the body cannot (2) effectively use the sugar it produces.More than thirty-nine thousand men and one hundred fifty-seven thousand women took part in the study. They were asked about their diet and day-to-day activities, as well as any (3) pre-existing diseases. The study found that the people who ate five or more servings of white rice per week had a seventeen percent increased risk of (4)developing Type Two diabetes. But those who ate two or more servings of brown rice a week had an eleven percent reduced risk of getting the disease.Brown rice is the (5) grain in its natural form. White rice results after it has been refined. This involves (6) removing the outer cover, including the husk, bran and germ. Only the inner white kernel is left. White rice is often (7) enriched to replace some nutrients lost during the refining process.Qi Sun is the lead writer of the report. He says the outer parts of brown rice slow down the work of the body’s (8) digestive enzymes into starch. This means that the release of sugar into the bloodstream is slower after eating brown rice compared to white rice.A diet of foods that quickly release sugar into the bloodstream has been linked with a greater risk of Type two diabetes. (9) The exact reason for this is not known.(Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’)Doctor Sun says less refined grains have more nutritional value than refined grains. He says replacing white rice with whole grains like whole wheat or barley (10) could result in a thirty-six percent lower chance of developing Type Two diabetes. (Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’) He says people should replace white rice and other refined carbohydrates with whole grains whenever possible.However, brown rice does not last as long as white rice because of the oil-rich layer of bran. (11) This makes it less usable in poor communities. (Please pause here for 30’’- 40’’) The International Rice Research Institute is working to develop kinds of white rice whose starch is released more slowly.And, that’s the VOA Special EnglishHealth Report. I’m Steve Ember.Section 2. Note-takingKey:1. budget problems2. the weak economy3. increased prices for food and fuel4. property taxes and sales taxes5. were having budget problems6. receiving free or reduced price lunches at school7. finance public schools and to help young people attend collegeScript:Education Report - School, and Family, Budgets Under PressureFifty million public school children in America are starting a new school year. The number is a record high. Yet, at the same time, school systems in many areas are facing budget problems.The weak economy is not the only cause. Another reason has to do with increased prices for food and fuel. They mean higher costs for school meals and bus transportation.The United States will spend more than five hundred billion dollars on public education for the coming school year. The federal government helps pay, but the responsibility for education is mostly on state and local governments.Two major sources of money for public schools are property taxes and sales taxes. A slowdown in consumer spending, the engine of the economy, means fewer goods to tax. And the collapse of the housing market means less money to collect in property taxes.A report in July from the National Conference of State Legislatures said thirty-one of the fifty states were having budget problems. And the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities says school officials in at least eleven states have cut or proposed cuts in education.Florida, for example, has cut school aid by about two percent per student. State officials say tax collections are low and lottery sales have fallen by one hundred million dollars. Florida and many other states use money from sales of lottery tickets to help pay for education.Around the country, the economic slowdown has added to the numbers of children receiving free or reduced price lunches at school. In other words, many of the same economic problems that have hit school budgets have also hit family budgets.Each year, the education group Phi Delta Kappa and the Gallup organization gather opinions about American public schools. This year’s poll found support for increased use of federal taxes to finance public schools and to help young people attend college.People were also asked which presidential candidate they would vote for if they were voting on the basis of a desire to strengthen the public schools. Forty-six percent chose Democrat Barack Obama. Twenty-nine percent chose Republican John McCain.In the last two presidential elections, the poll found Americans equally split on which candidate would be more supportive of the schools.Section 3.Short Answering Questions.Foreign Student Series, Special English, VOAThis is the VOA Special English Education Report.This week, in part nine of our Foreign Student Series, we talk about getting a student visa to come to the United States.Just getting accepted to an American college or university does not guarantee that you will get a visa. And getting a visa just lets you arrive in the United States. It does not guarantee that an immigration officer will permit you to enter the country.Travel documents come from the Department of State. But (1) immigration is the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security.The State Department has a Web site with all the rules for getting a visa. The address is . Unitedstatesvisas is all one word.(2) If you are requesting a visa for the first time, you will probably have to go to an American embassy or consulate. You will need to bring a government form sent to you by your American school that shows you have been accepted.(3) You will also need banking and tax records that show you have enough money to pay for your education.And be prepared to provide evidence that you will return to your home country after your studies end.All of this is important in satisfying the requirements to get a visa. A consular official will also take your picture and your fingerprints.Foreign students must contact their local embassy or consulate to request an interview and to get other information. This includes directions about how and where to pay the visa application charge. (4) The cost is two hundred dollars.You should apply for the visa as soon as you have been accepted to a school in the United States. The government needs time to perform a background investigation.You cannot receive a visa more than one hundred twenty days before the start of your program. And if you are coming as a student for the first time, (5) you cannot enter the country more than thirty days before classes begin.Once you come to the United States, you can stay for the length of your period of study. Your school is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with reports on your status as a student. We will talk more about what that means next week.And that’s t he VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach.Section 4. Listening and Translation到本世纪中这个比例可以达到70%,近65亿人口。

-- Dante, Italian poet --意大利诗人但丁Pre-reading task:1.How do you understand the title of T ext A-Writing For Myself?2.Why did Baker enjoy writing “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”?First PeriodPart one: Listening task (10m)Listen to the passage and answer the following questions:Next week, Max is going on a business trip. He’s going to fly to London from San Francisco. He tried to buy airplane tickets last week but the flight was full. Y esterday his travel agent called and told him there was space on the flight. He’s going to get the tickets in a mail tomorrow.Questions:1. What is Max going to do next week? (He’s going on a business trip next week.)2. Is he going to Sa n Francisco? (No, he’s going to fly to London.)3. Why could he not buy the tickets last week? (Because the flight was full.)4. Who helped him with the tickets? (His travel agent)5. Can he get his tickets today? (No, he can’t. He’s goi ng to get the ticke ts tomorrow.)Part two: Review task(20m):How to understand the title-Writing For Myself? (para5)Look at the title of Text A, then find out in which paragraph a similar phrase appears. Read that paragraph carefully and explain in your own words what the author means by saying “write for myself”.Usually we will write the compositions in the light of all the rules given by teacher and do not dare to violate these rules. So in some sense we write the compositions for teachers. But Baker want to put down or write down the warmth and good feeling of eating spaghetti for himself, and relive and recapture the pleasure of that evening, even though Fleagle would give him a failing grade.Why did Baker enjoy writing “The Art of EatingSpaghetti”?(para3-4)Fleagle distributed a homework sheet with some simple-minded and dull topics, so Baker did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Finally Baker faced up to the unwelcome task and scanned it and chose the title The Art of Eating Spaghetti. This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table.All the good humor of Uncle Allen’s house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.Part three: Cultural Notes (10m)1. Spaghetti(意大利式细面条)It is the Italian-style thin noodles. Unlike some Chinese noodles, it is usually served with sauce, not in soupand it will never taste pulpy (多汁的).2. What is the right way of eating spaghetti ?Spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cooked by boiling and served with sauce. Usually you would put a fork into a plate of spaghetti, turn the fork several times so that spaghetti will wind around the fork, then place the fork into your mouth. It’s impolite to suck.3.

Even Mr. Fleagle smiled.3.Baker’s feeling after teacher’s reading(para.9)?:He was delighted at the demonstration that his words had the power to make people laugh.

(F) He praised and encouraged him by saying the last words to him.Part three: analysis of essay writing (40m)1. According to Baker’s essay: The Art of Eating Spaghetti, talk about the essence of the essay. Whatis essay? How to write essay?According to Baker’s essay, we know that a good essay is the reflection of writer’s true feelings not the repetion of all the rules of formal composition. Writer writes simply for his own joy and pleasure not for teachers, recapt ure and relive the author’s true feelings. So the essence of good essay is to write that one enjoys writing about. This is what the title Writing For Myself means. This is the essence of essay. (see para.5)2. Analysis of writing skills of essayAccording to Text A, the essay is, in a sense, an account of what once happened to you in your life. Writing of this kindusually takes the form of narration with some facts and arguments and some expressions of the author’s feelings. TextA is written according to time clues.2.1 Look for some arguments and supporting details for Baker to support his opinions, and paraphrase these arguments.Argument 1 (para1)The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn’t unt il my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. (I was bored by everything connected with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.)Argument 2 (para2)When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. (He had a reputation among students for dullness and not arousing st udents’ inspiration. He was said to be formal, rigid, and out of fashion/outdated. I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed.) Argument 3 (para4)This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. (Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville. We were seated around the supper table, we argue about the socially respectable method for eating spaghetti, we laughed cheerly.)2.2 Ask students to look for some sentences for Baker to express his feelings and translate these sentences into Chinese.-Until then I’d been bored by everything associated with English courses. (para1)-I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr.Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed(desperate ). (para3)-suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for muself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. T o write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I’d learned in school.(para5)-I did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what I was feelling was pure delight at this demonstration that my words had the power to make people laugh.(para9)2.3 Ask students to look for the time clues in text A and retell the storysuggested answer:Since my childhood in Belleville I haven’t dreamed becoming a writer, until my third year in high school the possibility of the idea took hold. Until then I was bored by everything related to English classes. When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Late in the year we tackled the informal essay, Fleagle assigned an essay to us. Until the night before the essay was due I did nothing, but I finally faced up to the unwelcome task. When I finished writing the essay, the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper and respectable essay for Fleagle. Next morning I had to turn in my tale. T wo days passed Fleagle returned everyone’s but mine. When I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class’s attention I was preparing myself for a command to report to him immediately after school for discipline. When Mr. Fleagle finished, he said that this is theessence of the essay. Congratulations on your writing, Mr. Baker.Part four: Useful Expressions(15m)Translate the below useful expressions into English(teacher tell students these Chinese expressions and let students find the English expressions from the T ext A)!1. 断断续续(off and on)2. 对…感到腻味(be bored by ...)3. 觉得…枯燥难懂(find ... dull and difficult)4. 以…而出名(have a reputation for...)5. 据说某人…(sb. be said to be ...)6. 拘谨刻板,落后于时代(formal, rigid and out-of-date)7. 随笔小品文(an informal essay)8. 躺在沙发上(lie on a sofa)9. 不得不面对…(face up to ...)10. 围坐在晚餐桌旁(be seated around the supper table) 11. …重现在我脑海中(... reawake in my mind)12. 自得其乐(for my own joy) 13. 违反规定(violate the rules)14. 不及格分(a failing grade) 15. 别无选择,只好做…(There is no choice but to do...)16. 更不可思议的是(what’s more) 17. 专心听讲(listen attentively)18. 乐乎乎地开怀大笑(laugh with open-hearted enjoyment) 19. 心花怒放(pure delight)20. 最后的时刻(at the eleventh hour)Part five: homework(5m)1.Find out the synonymous words and phrases from T ext Afor the words and phrases below.dull (L. 4): bored, lifeless, cheerless, tedious turn out (L. 5): compose, put downanticipate (L. 8): prepare for formal (L.10): rigid, prim, correct, proper, respectablerecapture (L. 35): relive contempt (L. 52): ridicule2. Preview T ext B and try to find out the answers to thefollowing questions:1. Who was Mr. Ballou? What was the author’s impression of Mr. Ballou at first? What did the author find about Mr. Ballou later?2. What was the attitude of the author towards reading books before he went into Mr. Ballou’s house? Did t he author’s attitude towards reading changed later?3. How did the author like what Mr. Ballou had given to him?4. What’s the conclusion of thi s author?Third PeriodPart one: review task : task 1 (task 2 will be handled when the structure of T ext B is analyzed) (10m) Part two: Error Correction (15m)Directions: Look carefully at the passage and correct the mistakes. And then underline the words and phrases you’ve just learned.The sight of the picture always associated me to(with) my childhood. Life in school was tideous(tedious) and dull.Discipline(disciplines) from the rigid teachers were unavoidable for any violation out of(of) their commands. However(what’s more), nothing could inspire us to face up with(face up to) the hopless(hopeless) life.Part three(20m): Group Discussion1. What do you learn from the story?(No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we should face up to them and try our best to conquer them. We should learn from Baker to dare to write a good essay for his own joy not for Fleagle, that is to say, we should dare to challenge the rules of formal compositions not only obey them, we should learn his spirit to challenge authority. We should believe in ourabilities to deal with the difficult problems just as Baker wrote a good essay by himself and got teacher’s appreciation finally. ) 2.Is there any unforgettable experience during your growing up? What is it? Why? How do you succeed and how do you overcome you failures?We all hope we will experience all the good things in life, such as the happiness of realizing our dreams, the joy of feeling worthwhile, and the satisfaction of knowing we’ve succeeded. Indeed, we cannot always hope to embrace success and never accept failure. And most importantly, only if we learn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such a bad feeling as frustration. It is the part ou our life experience. In our process of growing up, we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’t come up to our expectations. It is a test of our courage when it befalls us. If we let it controls us, we may fall into sadness. But if we conquer it, it will become our source of inspiration, we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.3. Summary of text AAs students when we are writing we are often told to keep our readers and teachers in mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. So Baker is very confused and does not know how to finish an essay when Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering a choice of topics. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten, that is the writer himself. Baker discovered this point. And finally finished the essay writing by putting down the happy memories for himself and obtained the teacher and classmates’ appreciation.Part four: Structure of Text B( 40m)I. Structural Chart of T ext B:II. Questions that could guide the students to understand the structure of T ext B.1. When did the story take place? What did the author do at that time?This story took place when he was fourteen. He was a student who cut lawns for other people as a summer job to earn money.2. When did the narrator wrote this essay? What did the narrator do when he wrote this essay?Thirty years later. He became an anthropologist at Dartmouth College.3. Who was Mr. Ballou? What was the author’s impression of Mr. Ballou at first?He was one of the neighbors of the author who never paid the author for cutting lawns at all. The author thought that Mr. Ballou was poor but polite at first.(Para.2 “ Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door.” “I figured him for a thin retiremen t check.” “Grass was grass, and the little that Mr.Ballou’s property comprised didn’t take long to trim.”(Poor) Para.2 “ …always waving or tipping his hat when he’d see me from a distance…” (Polite))4. What did the author find about Mr. Ballou later?Later, the author found that Mr. Ballou was rich in books and experienced in reading.(Para.7 “…I saw that books were stacked everywhe re. It was like a library…”(rich in books)Para.8 “ This is nothing…a second time.” (experienced in reading))5. What was the attitude of the author towards reading books before he went into Mr. Ballou’s house?He just read what was in front of him, i.e. he just read randomly for entertainment, and he even didn’t know what were his favorites, none of the books or magazines he read before had any impressions on his memories. (Para. 9 “ I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library,magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal…”)6. Did the author’s attitude towards reading ch anged later? When?Y es, his attitude towards reading changed later. In the evening of the day on which he got the book t itled “ The Last of the Just” from Mr. Ballou, he began to read seriously and absorbedly, this book attracted him and impressed him deeply.(Para.16 “ Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil.”Para.17 “ To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentra ted power a novel could contain.”)7. Had Mr. Ballou ever paid a cent to the author? What did he give to the author instead? How did the author like what Mr. Ballou had given to him?Mr. Ballou had never paid a cent to the author; he just gave some books to the author as the down payment. The author thought that what Mr. Ballou had given to him was of great value, because he became an anthropology professor later due to these books.(Para20. “ To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College.8. What’s the conc lusion of this author?Reading was not the innocent entertainment, and a rightbook will change the course of your life.(P ara. 20 “Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you …all that follows.”)Part five: Homework(5m)Ask the students to rewrite this essay in their own words, and encourage them to try to use the following wordsin their writings: comprise, motion, clash, represent, decent, evil, voluntary, assume. (120 words).Fourth periodPart one: review task(15m)Suggested answer:When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns. Mr. Ballou was one of my neighbors who never paid me at all. But I didn’t mind because the little that his property comprised didn’t take long to trim. O ne day, he motioned me to come into his house, and I saw that books were stacke d everywhere. Mr. Ballou encouraged me to choose some books to read, but I didn’t know what I want at all. So, Mr. Ballou helped to choose one book for me through a careful consideration. I started after supper. Within a few pages, I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be; a book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, will change the course of all that follows.Part two: Paraphrase and Translate the Following Sentences (35m)1.I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things theylost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose.Paraphrase: My customers would plant some flowers on their lawns, and I had to remember not to cut down these flowers. Or sometimes they would lose or stick some things in the ground intentionally, and these details had helped me to get to know them gradually.客户们种植的花卉我得记住不能剪去,他们有时会将东西遗落在草地上或故意插在地里,通过这些我逐渐认识了他们。

My Dream
Dreams are the wind for our sails on the ocean. Dreams kindle a flame to illuminate our dark roads. Dreams protect our hearts. Martin Luther King had a dream — it was to have justice for all people. Lincoln had a dream — it was to set the slaves free. They sought their dreams and finally made them come true. I have a dream, which is to help those people who need help. There are too many wars and disasters. About 16,000 people have died in the Iraq War and one child dies every eight seconds in Africa because of starvation. I have dreams, you have dreams and they have dreams too. We should help them. We should save their lives so they can pursue their own dreams. As the lyric of a song goes, “We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving.” Well, that’s my dream, a simple but meaningful dream.

Unit One: A Brush with the LawThe brief of the storyThe story happened about ten years ago. The two policemen arrested me because I wore long hair, wandered in the street, and was unemployed. They suspected that I stole the milk bottles. And I was taken to court. But, because of my “right accent,” my respectable middle-class parents, etc., I was released. From the story, we know that the law itself is sometimes unjust.The Sixties’ “youth counterculture”The word “counterculture” was coined in the 1960’s for the attitude and life style of many young people who rejected conventional social values and demanded more personal freedom. The counterculture first arose in the U.S. during the 1960’s and soon spread to Britain, France and other western countries. These young people were opposed to the Vietnam War and dissatisfied with the existing state of affairs in their society. Yet, unable to find a more constructive way of struggling against these, they indulged themselves in sex, drugs, alcohol and rock music and took great pride in wearing long hairs and unusual clothes and in taking up anything that was unconventional. Thecounterculture declined in the late 1970’s.

16 Colleen clicked the bag onto the tube and pumped. Within seconds, Pat Rohrer started breathing and the color returned to her cheeks.
17 As paramedics rushed in and took over, Boll stood up, trembling. He certainly hadn't anticipated anything like this when he left his job as a social worker to go to med school.
Divine Intervention
by Cathy Free
1 Dr. Rob Boll was craving a hot turkey dinner and a slice of apple pie. After a hectic week treating patients with sore throats and ear infections at his family practice, the 52-year-old physician was ready for a night of home cooking and fellowship at his church's annual fund-raising dinner.
4 Jumping up from the table, the doctor could see a white-haired woman slumped over in her chair. "I'm a doctor. What's going on?" Boll said to the group gathered around 76-year-old Pat Rohrer.
14 "I'm in," he said once the tube was finally in place.
15 But the crisis was far from over. Boll needed to resuscitate the unconscious woman. Fortunately, her family never went anywhere without an emergency kit containing a manual resuscitator bag, just in case Shaun had trouble breathing.
3 After sitting down, Boll had barely placed his napkin in his lap when he heard a commotion on the other side of the room. "Help!" a woman shouted. "Does anybody know how to do the Heimlich?"
10 He was relieved to see that his wife had found a clean paring knife. Taking a deep breath, Boll carefully cut a small slit in Pat's neck. As blood poured from the wound, he broke into a sweat. But Boll knew it was too late to stop. Two or three precious minutes had already passed. She couldn't survive much longer without oxygen. Boll figured he had about 45 seconds to save her life.
19 Maybe so, but Howard Stephens, assistant chief of the Mokena Fire Protection District, was quick to point out, "Without Dr. Boll, this lady wouldn't have made it."
11 Oblivious to the crowd breathlessly watching him work, Boll steadied his hands and continued. But the knife wouldn't cut deep enough. Out of nowhere, a man handed Boll a switchblade. It had a tapered point, nice and sharp, with a three-inch blade that locked securely in place. Boll quickly finished the cut.
12 Then, as if she were reading his mind, Colleen handed him a tracheotomy tube. Her son, Shaun — Pat's grandson — has a severe lung condition and needs a tube to keep his airway clear. But he could manage without it for an hour or so.
6 This can't be happening, Boll thought. He worried he wouldn't be able to help her. Looking up, he recognized Steve Hoblin, a nurse from the hospital near his office. "Steve, stick your fingers down her throat and see if you can sweep anything out," he said. Hoblin reached in and pulled out a small piece of turkey.
18 "I'm not terribly religious," Boll says now, "but I know now that God goes to turkey dinners at churches. To take a doctor who only half knows what he's doing and give him the right tools — I don't know how I recalled what I needed to do. To me, there's no explanation but divine intervention."
2 Stepping inside the crowded gym at St. John's United Church of Christ, Boll and his family found a long line of people waiting to be seated. He wasn't surprised. The turkey feast had become a popular event in Mokena, Illinois, attended by hundreds from the surrounding Chicago suburbs. Many weren't even members of the congregation. They'd simply heard about the good food and were willing to pay $10 to heap their plates and help pay for the church's new community center. Boll and his wife, Dana, and their son, Kyle, 14, went every year.
