(2)My family was resourceful enough toscrounge clothing for the next day.⑥Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. (3)I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. (4)Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.本部分重点及难点：2.

Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actorsand celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it canbe tempting for people to compare themselves with others.(1) natural desire天生的欲望(2) it can be tempting（吸引人的，诱惑人的）for people to compare themselves withothers 中it是形式主语，真正的主语是for people to compare themselves with others, forpeople作不定式的逻辑主语。

自考英语二课文原文翻译汇总Unit1-Unit12

Unit1Text A读前问题：1．通常情况下，你是否会反对作者提出的观点？你认为什么是积极阅读？2．你希望作者就批判性阅读提出什么样的建议呢？批判性阅读批判性阅读适用于非小说类文学写作，作者要么提出观点，要么陈述事实。

批判性阅读就是积极阅读，不仅仅要解决作者所说的话，还要对其提出质疑，进行评价，进而形成自己的独特的观点。

要想成为批判性读者，就要做到以下几点：考虑写作的语境。

你所阅读的文章，其作者的文化背景也许与你截然不同，抑或文章是以前写的，与你所处的时代也完全不同。

无论哪种情况，你都必须意识到你的价值观和态度与作者所述的价值观和态度是不同的，要充分考虑这些差异。

质疑作者提出的观点。

不要按照字面意思来理解文章的内容，在此之前，一定要搞清楚作者是否提供了足够的证据，证明他的观点是正确的。

查找事实、例证和统计数据，还要看看作者是否结合了各学术权威的著作。

对比该文章与相关话题的其他文章。

看一下文章是否与别人写的相关话题的文章一致，如果有不一致之处，就要仔细评价作者所提供的证据。

分析作者的假设。

假设就是作者为了提出观点而认为正确的东西。

在很多情况下，作者的假设都不是直接表述出来的，这就是说你必须认真阅读才能找到假设。

一旦找到了假设，就必须确定是否合理。

评价作者利用的资料。

在评价时，一定要确认资料来源是可靠的。

例如，要想写物理学上取得的里程碑式的成就，那么爱因斯坦就是可靠的资料来源。

此外，还要保证资料的相关性，有关诗歌的话题与爱因斯坦就不相关了。

最后，如果作者写的是当今的话题，那就必须用当今的资料。

例如，如果作者讨论的是目前物理方面的知识，那么就不适合引用爱因斯坦在20世纪早期所做的研究了。

发现作者可能持有的偏见。

有关美国政治的书面论述可能因作者是共和党或民主党迥然而异。

文章内容可能会反映作者的偏见，因此在阅读作者的文章时就要考虑到这种可能存在的偏见，这就是所谓的“质疑一切”。

对文章内容持批判的态度，就能够获得更多的信息，你的观点也会变得更加正确。

12-A. How Dictionaries Are Made
It is widely believed that every word has a correct meaning, that we learn these meanings mainly from teachers and grammarians, and that dictionaries and grammars are the supreme authority in matters of meaning and usage. Few people ask by what authority the writers of dictionaries and grammars say what they say. I once got into a dispute with an English woman over the pronunciation of a word and offered to look it up in the dictionary.or? I am English. I was born and brought up in England, The way I speak is English.” Such self-assurance about one’s own language is fairly common among the English. In the United States, however, anyone who is willing to quarrel with the dictionary is regarded as either eccentric or mad.
让我们看看词典是怎样编写和编辑们怎样得出词的定义的。下面所说的内容只适用于那些进行第一手创造性研究的词典编辑室，不适用于那些单纯抄袭现有词典的编辑室。词典的编写是从阅读拟编词典要涵盖的时期或主题的大量文献开始的，编辑们一边阅读，一边在卡片上记下每个引起兴趣的词或不常见的词，常用词的不寻常的或特殊的出现情况，大量的常用词的通常用法以及每个词出现的句子。
