综合教程1 Unit 2 Friendship 小楠笔记
All the cabbie Had Was a Letter1He must have been completely lost in something he was reading because I had to tap on the windshield to get his attention.2“Is your cab available?” I asked when he finally looked up at me. He nodded, then said apologetically as I settled into the back seat, “I’m sorry, but I was reading a letter.” He sounded as if he had a cold or something.3“I’m in no hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”4He shook his head. “I’ve read it several times already. I guess I almost know it by heart.”5“Letters from home always mean a lot,” I said. “At least they do with me because I’m on the road so much.”Then, estimating that he was 60 or 70 years old, I guessed:”From a child or maybe a grandchild?”6“This isn’t a family,” he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other ‘Old Friend’—when we’d meet, that is. I’m not much of a hand at writing.”7“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “I know I don’t. But I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?”8“All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back.”9“Went to school together?”10“All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.”11“There are not too many people who’ve had such a long friendship,” I said.12“Actually,” the driver went on, “I hadn’t seen him more than once or twice a year over the past 25 or 30 years because I moved away from the old neighborhood and you kind of lose touch even though you never forget. He was a great guy.”13“You said ‘was’. Dose that mean--?”14He nodded. “Died a couple of weeks ago.”15“I’m sorry,” I said. “It’s no fun to lose any friend—and losing a real old one is even tougher.”16He didn’t reply to that, and we rode on in silence for a few minutes. But I realized that Old Ed was still on his mind when he spoke again, almost to himself than to me: “I should have kept in touch.”17“Well,” I agreed, “We should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”18He shrugged. “We used to find the time,” he said. “That’s even mentioned in the letter.” He handed it over to me. “Take a look.”19“Thanks,” I said, “but I don’t want to read your mail. That’s pretty personal.”20The driver shrugged. “Old Ed’s dead. There’s nothing personal now. Go ahead,” he urged me. 21The letter was written in pencil. It began with the greeting “Old Friend,”and the first sentence remained me of myself. I’ve been meaning to write for some time, but I’ve always postponed it. It then went on to say that he often thought about the good times they had had together when they both live in the same neighborhood. It had references to things that probably meant to something to the driver, such as the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tied Old Mr. Parker’s gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school.22“You must have spent a lot of time together,” I said to him.23“Like it says there,” he answered, “about all we have to spend in those days was time.” He shook his head: “Time.”24I thought the next paragraph of the letter was a little sad: I began the letter with “Old Friend”because that we’ve become over the years—old friends. And there aren’t many of us left.25“You know,”I said to him, “when it says here that there aren’t many of us left, that’s absolutely right. Every time I go to a class reunion, for example, there are fewer and fewer still around.”26“Time goes by,” the driver said.27“Did you two work at the same place?” I asked him.28“No, but we hung out on the same corner when we were single. And then, when we were married, we used to go to each other’s house every now and then. But for the last 20 or 30 years it’s been mostly just Christmas cards. Of course there’d be always be a note we’d each add to the cards—usually some news about our families, you know, what the kid was doing, who moved where, a new grandchild, things like that—but never a real letter or anything like that.”29“This is a good part here,” I said. “Where it says your friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I’m not good at saying things like that.”I found myself nodding in agreement. “That must have made you feel good, didn’t it?”30The driver said something that I couldn’t understand because he seemed to be all choked up, so I continued: “I known I’d like to receive a letter like that from my oldest friend.”31We were getting close to our destination so I skipped to the last paragraph. So I thought you’d like to know that I was thinking of you. And it was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.32I handed back the letter as we stopped at my hotel. “Enjoyed talking with you,” I said as I took my suitcase out of the cab. Tom? The letter was signed Tom?33“I thought your friend’s name was Ed，” I said. “Why did he sign it Tom?”34“The letter was not from Ed to me,”he explained. “I’m Tom. It’s a letter I wrote to him before I knew he’d died. So I never mailed it.”35He looked sort of sorrowful, or as if he were trying to see something in the distance. “I guessI should have writer it sooner.”36 When I got to my hotel room I didn’t unpack right away. First I had write a letter—and mail it.。

So I ran for the telephone and said “Information please” into the

Unit 11. What were the author and his wife doing in Nanjing in the spring of 1987？They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. What was their son Benjamin fond of doing during their stay at the Jinling Hotel?Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. How would Chinese staff members of the hotel respond to Benjamin's attempt to place the key into the slot?They would come over to watch Benjami, and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Why did the author decide to work the key-slot anecdote into his discussions with Chinese educators?Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. What did his Chinese colleagues think of the key-slot incident?Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. What did the author emphasize in presenting his views about the incident?He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that one can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. What does the author mean by saying this incident was key in more than one sense?He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. In what way does the author associate the key-slotincident with "teaching by holding his hand"?The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand is characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. What examples does the author give to illustrate childhood education in the arts in China?One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and t 0 years old are producing excellent works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their: craft for several hours a day.10. How do Americans and Chinese differ in their attitudes to creativity?Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. What makes them take different positions on the question of creativity?This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. What suggestion does the author make about seeking a better approach to fostering skills and creativity?The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Unit21. What is the Salvation Army? What does a Salvation Army bell ringer do?The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who helps it collect donations.2. What did the boy ask the writer? What do you think made him raise such a question?The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusionand curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.3. How did the writer answer? What does the writer's answer to the boy's question mean?He said, "I have more than some people, but not as much as others." This means that he was neither poor nor rich.4. Why did the boy's mother scold him?The boy's mother scolded him because the question was socially inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.5. Is the writer poor or not in terms of material possessions? Give facts to support your conclusion.H's, economically he is poor. He lives in a small basement apartment. He doesn't even have a color TV. He falls into the lowest income category And so on.6. Does the writer feel poor? Why or why not?No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.7. In what situation does the writer feel out of place?He feels out of place among people who ate primarily interested in material things.8. What did the girl tell him before her visit to his basement apartment? And what happened after?She told him that she was interested in what's on the inside. But after he Wok her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.9. How ought one to understand such "a seemingly abrupt change in her priorities"?It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.10. Can we infer from the essay what role commercials can play in society?Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.11. Why does the writer say "December is the time of year I feel wealthiest"?Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.12. How has the boy's question affected the writer?The boy's question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that.Unit41. What did the author do three years ago and what is she doing now?She was a television producer three years ago and now she works as a telecommuter.2.

Why?She is bad-tempered and easily angered and finds herself attacking everyone in sight.8.
