新视野大学英语 3U1Love without limitationsMy brother, Jimmy, did not get enough oxygen during a difficult delivery,leaving him with brain damage, and two years later I was born. Since then, mylife revolved around my brother’s. Accompanying my growing up was always“go o ut and play and take your brother with you”. I couldn’t go anywherewithout him, so I urged the neighborhood kids to come to my house for someout-of-control kid-centered fun.My mother taught Jimmy practical things like how to brush his teeth or put onbelt. My father, a saint, simply held the house together with his patience andunderstanding. I was in charge outside where I administered justice by trackingdown the parents of the kids who picked on my brother, and telling on them.My father and Jimmy were inseparable. They ate breakfast together and onweekdays drove off to the navy shipping center every morning where they bothworked-Jimmy unloaded color-coded boxes. At night after dinner, they wouldtalk and play games late into the evening. They even whistled the same tunes.So when my father died of a heart attack in 1991, Jimmy was a wreck,beneath his careful disguise. He was simply in disbelief. Usually very agreeable,he now quit speaking altogether and no amount of words could penetrate thevacant expression he wore on his face. I hired someone to live with him anddrive him to work, but no matter how much I tried to make things stay the same,even Jimmy grasped that the world he’d k nown was gone. One day Iasked, ”You miss Dad, don’t you?” His lips quivered and then he asked, “What do you think, Margaret? He was my best friend.” Our tears began flow.My mother died of lung cancer six months later and I alone was left to lookafter Jimmy.He didn’t adjust to going to work wi thout my father right away, so he cameand lived with me in New York City for a while. He went wherever I went andseemed to adjust pretty well. Still, Jimmy longed to live in my parents’ house and work at his old job and I pledged to help him return. Eventually, I was ableto work it out. He has lived there for 11 years now with many differentcaretakers and blossomed on his own. He has become essential to theneighborhood. When you have any mail to be picked up or your dog needswalking, he is your man.My mother was right, of course: It was possible to have a home with room forboth his limitations and my ambitions. In fact, caring for someone who loves asdeeply and appreciates my efforts as much as Jimmy does has enriched my lifemore than anything else ever could have.This hit home a few days after the September 11th disaster on Jimmy’s 57th birthday. I had a party for him in my home in New York, but none of our familycould join us because travel was difficult and they were still reckoning with thesheer terror the disaster had brought. I called on my faithful friends to helpmake it a merry and festive occasion, ignoring the fact that most of them wereemotionally drained and exhausted. Instead of the customary “No gifts, please”I shouted, “Gifts! Please!”My friends-people Jimmy had come to know over the years-brought the ideal-I-M-M-Y” onpresents: country music CDs, a sweatshirt, one leather belt with “Ｊit, a knitted wool hat and a cowboy costume. The evening led up to the gifts andthen the chocolate cake from his favorite bakery, and of course the ceremonywasn’t complete without the singing.A thousand times Jimmy asked, ”Is it time for the cake yet?” After dinner andthe gifts Jimmy could no longer be restrained. He anxiously waited for thecandles to be lit and then blew them out with one long breath as well all sang“Happy birthday”. Jimmy wasn’t satisfied with our effort, though. He jumped upon the chair and stood erect pointing both index fingers into the air to conductus and yell ed, ”One…more…time!” We sang with all of the energy left in oursouls and when we were finished he put both his thumbs up and shouted.“ That was super!”We had wanted to let him know that no matter how difficult things got in theworld, there would always be people who cared about him. We ended upreminding ourselves instead. For Jimmy, the love with which we sang was awelcome bonus, but mostly he had just wanted to see everyone else happyagain.ernight, September Just as my father’s death had changed Jimmy’s world ov11th changed our lives; the world we’d known was gone. But, as we sang forJimmy and held each tight afterward praying for peace around the world, wewere reminded that the constant love and support of our friends and familywould get us through whatever life might present. The simplicity with whichJimmy had reconciled everything for us should not have been surprising. Therehad never been limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.无限的爱我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产，因为缺氧导致大脑受损。

2. What do many English learners want to do? What is your idea about it?
Tips
Many English learners want to use all the difficult words they know. They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. But from my point of view, we should make sure of our deficiencies, and then improve our language skill by more practice. Repetition will help move you from basic literacy toward true proficiency.

---Unit 1 section A我哥哥吉米出生时碰上难产，由于缺氧以致大脑受损。
两年后，我出生了。
今后今后，我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。
陪同我成长的，是“ 到外面去玩，把你哥哥也带上。
” 不带上他，我是哪里也去不了的。
因此，我煽动邻居的孩子到我家来，尽兴地玩孩子们玩的游戏。
我母亲教吉米学习平时自理，比方刷牙或系皮带什么的。
我父亲宅心仁厚，他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。
我则负责外面的事，找到那些欺辱我哥哥的孩子们的父亲母亲，告他们的状，为我哥哥讨回公正。
父亲和吉米形影不离。
他们一道吃早饭，平时每天清早一道开车去海军航运中心，他们都在那处工作，吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。
晚饭后，他们一道讲话，玩游戏，直到深夜。
他们甚至用口哨吹同样的曲调。
因此，父亲1991年因心脏病去世时，吉米几乎崩溃了，尽管他尽量不表现出来。
他就是不能够相信父亲去世这一事实。
平时，他是一个令人快乐的人，现在却一声不吭，无论说多少话都不能够透过他木然的脸部表情认识他的心事。
我雇了一个人和他住在一起，开车送他去上班。
但是，无论我怎么努力地保持原状，吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。
有一天，我问他：“你可否是想念爸爸？” 他的嘴唇颤抖了几下，尔后问我：“你怎么看，玛格丽特？他是我最好的朋友。
”接着，我俩都流下了眼泪六个月后，母亲因肺癌去世，剩下我一人来照料吉米。
吉米不能够马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着，因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。
我走到哪里他就跟到哪里，他忧如适应得很好。
但吉米仍旧想住在我父亲母亲的房子里，连续干他本来的工作。
我答应把他送回去。
此事最后做成了。
现在，他在那处生活了11 年，在好多人的照料下，同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。
他已成了邻居间不能或缺的人物。
若是你有邮件要收，或有狗要遛，他就是你所要的人。
自然，母亲的话没错：能够有一个家，既能容纳他的弊端又能装下我的壮心。
事实上，关照像吉米这样一个深爱又感谢我的人，更加丰富了我的生活，其他任何东西都不能够与之对照。

I triedto antici patewhat critic ismsshe wouldhave.Rich was not only not Chines e, he was also my junior, a few yearsyounge r than I was. And unfort unate ly, he looked much younge r with his curlyred hair, smooth pale skin, and the splash of orange freckl es across his nose. He was a bit on the shortside, compac tly built.In his dark busine ss suits,he looked nice but easily forget table, like somebo dy's nephew at a funera l. This was why I didn't notice him the firstyear we worked togeth er at the firm. But, my mother notice d everyt hing."So what do you thinkof Rich?" I finall y asked, holdin g my breath.She tossed the garlic in the hot oil whichbubble d in a loud, angrysound. "So many spotson his face," she said.I couldfeel the goosebumpsrise on my back. "They're freckl es. Freckl es are good luck, you know," I felt compel led to defend on his behalf, a bit too heated ly as I raised my voiceabovethe noiseof the kitche n."Oh?" she said innoce ntly."Yes, the more spotsthe better.

Unit 1时值秋夜，在我的故乡新斯科舍，小雨淅沥，轻叩锡铁屋顶。
我们周末度假寄住的古老小屋，弥漫着一股霉味。
空气寒冷得让人发抖，于是我们点上了富兰克林取暖炉。
我们悠然地喝着热朱古力，接着父亲走向立式钢琴，卷起衬衣袖，伸出一指敲一曲。
他算不上一个钢琴家，可他知道歌中的情、家中的爱。
母亲放下手中的针线活，和他同坐在一条凳子上，然后我哥哥也快缓步走向钢琴。
最后，不太能唱歌却能拉拉小提琴的我也凑热闹唱了一两句。
一向体贴人的父亲说：“你看，你也可以唱的，宝贝。
唱得很好。
”我常常记得成长的过程中感受到的温暖、幸福和关爱。
虽然我花了好些年才知道，家人的爱不是凭空产生的。
叶事实上，爱从来就不是凭空产生的，甚至对那些看上去像我父母那样天生充满爱的人来说也一样。
但是，我愿打赌，你必须生活于一个构架之中，方能让爱这一无与伦比的礼物瓜熟蒂落。
首先，爱需要时间。
也许人们可以一眼看到爱的可能，见面几周后就郑重宣布“我爱你”等等，但是这样的爱，相当于刚开始爬山，而这漫长的爬山之路充满着起起落落。
瓜熟蒂落之爱就像一个有生命的机体。
它跟一棵橡树的生命一样，从土里的一粒种子开始，慢慢地长成几乎无叶的细枝，最后枝繁叶茂、足以遮荫，成就其辉煌。
我们不可调控或者加速其成长所需的年月，相反，我们必须用才智和耐心，始终欣赏相互间的差异，分享彼此的快乐和痛苦。
因此，如果因小怒而离婚，父母孩子相互不信任，在第一次受伤害后中断友谊，或不再相信爱，那是令人痛心的事情。
我们常常未经深思熟虑就向某人说“再见”，结果付出了非常昂贵的感情代价。
我曾经认识一对父子，他们被各自的生活困难困扰，多年来距离越拉越远，结果相互间几乎没话可说，而相互间没了依靠，他们的生活变得空虚。
儿子大学毕业后的那个夏天，打算开着黄色老卡车到连通全国的双车道公路上周游一番（那时还没有免费高速公路）。
有一天，在准备出发时，他看见父亲沿着繁忙的街道走来。
父亲熟悉的脸上带着的孤苦令他震动。
他邀父亲停下来喝杯啤酒。
冲动之下，他说：“来吧，爸爸。
让我们一块儿度过一个夏天吧。
”他父亲是个家具推销商。
虽然冒着家里生意受损失的大风险，父亲还是跟儿子走了。
他们一道宿营，一道爬山，一道坐在海边，一道探索城市的街道和幽静的乡村。
在他们旅行后不久，他父亲告诉我：“在过去的两个月里，我学到的为父之道比我在我儿子成长的21年的岁月里学到的都多。
”每个人的生活，都应该为爱的人留出空间，为我们爱的人抽出我们认为抽不出的时间是值得的。
我们不应该误导自己，认为我们所爱的人必须像自己一样。
关键是认可和欣赏我们间的差异。
这些差异使得人们之间的关系有了一丝神秘和新奇。
爱也需要另一种更为难得的能力──放手的能力。
在我结婚的头几年，我错误地认为我丈夫应该想时刻和我在一起。
我们第一次去拜访他家时，我发现他们家的人做事时男的和男的在一起，女的与女的在一起。
我公公占了我的位子，坐到前车座我丈夫的旁边。
他俩常常一道出去，将我留下和女人们在一起。
我向我丈夫抱怨，让他夹在他所爱的人当中，痛苦不堪。
我婆婆说得好：“和父亲在一起是他生活的一部分；和你在一起是另一部分。
你对二者都该感到高兴啊。
”我明白，爱就像根松紧带，在它将你们紧紧拉在一起之前，必须先松开。
爱又像涌来的潮水，一浪过后先退却一点，下一浪才会比前一浪离你的心更近。
最后，爱需要言语来实现。
没有言语，争吵不能得到解决，这样我们就失去了分享自己生活意义的能力。
重要的是承认并表达自己的情感。
这样，我们才能真正使我们自己和我们所爱的人兴高采烈。
爱不是一次性的行为，而是一生的探索。
我们总是在这种探索中学习、发现和成长。
一次失败不能毁灭爱，一次亲吻也不能赢得爱。
唯有耐心和理解才能得到爱。
Unit 2正如运动能强心、健肺、固骨、强肌一样，运动也能健脑。
对动物的一系列科学研究表明，体育活动对智力的发挥有积极作用。
伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳──尚佩恩分校的大脑科学家威廉·格里诺说，“很明显，运动使大脑受益。
”他对老鼠的研究已经表明运动具有两大功效：高强度体育运动给大脑提供更多的燃料，而技巧性运动则增强大脑神经的联结。
依照某些科学家的见解，这种联结能使大脑更好地处理信息。
在一项实验中，实验鼠被分成三组：第一组在自动轮中跑动，第二组通过一种复杂的越障训练来提高技能，第三组则不做任何运动。
“与跑动的和不运动的老鼠相比，经过越障训练的老鼠的脑神经联结数更多。
”格里诺说，“相比之下，在自动轮中跑动的老鼠，较之其他两组的老鼠，其大脑的血管密度更大。
”他说，学习一种新的舞步和学习一种语言一样，都能促进大脑发展。
如果这种舞蹈还是一种良好的体育运动，则益处加倍。
格里诺的另一组实验显示，年轻的大脑尤其能够通过运动来增强能力。
这组实验表明，从小就锻炼的老鼠，其大脑的变化最为显著。
他说尽管动物不是人，但依此推断锻炼对老鼠带来的作用同样适用于人类也合乎逻辑。
对人类的研究主要集中在老年人身上。
其结果表明，经常锻炼能提高大脑处理信息的速度。
伊利诺伊大学阿瑟·克雷默测量的结果表明，63至82岁不运动的人，在完成为期10周的水上运动课程之后，听音击键的反应加快了。
对照组没有经过锻炼，其反应速度没有提高。
接受运动训练之后，人的反应速度可能会加快，这是因为与衰老有关的机能衰退实际上源于体质下降。
一些科学家推测，除了药物作用和饮食不当等相关因素外，常常归咎于衰老的大脑功能下降实际上可能是不注意保持体育运动带来的一种后果。
亚利桑那州立大学的运动学教授丹尼尔·M. 兰德斯最近发表了一篇文章，对有关运动对大脑影响的科学文献进行了综述。
他说：“对老年人来说，锻炼计划对维持大脑功能显得非常重要。
”许多研究表明，经常进行体育锻炼的孩子，在学业上比不活动的同学优秀。
但直到最近，人们还是认为因参加体育运动而获得的学业优势来自于增强的自信、更好的心态，以及运动后所带来的集中注意力的能力。
而现在，一些科学家修正了他们的看法，表示这可能与身体状况有关。
另一名专家皮尔斯·J. 霍华德说，新的研究表明，体育锻炼提高了大脑中某些激发神经细胞生长的化学物质的含量。
因此，那些进行锻炼的人的大脑可能更有能力应付各种智力挑战。
不活动对大脑和身体都可能有负面影响。
“科学家们认识到，心即是身，身即是心，”霍华德评价道。
他说，最有益的运动能身心兼顾。
Unit 3以国家为背景探讨解决问题或做出决策的方式就意味着研究许多复杂的文化因素。
它意味着设法评估这些因素对现代生活的影响，也意味着把握目前正在发生的变化。
在日本，最重要的是你为什么单位工作。
在对取向或决策过程进行分析时，这一点尤为重要。
至少，它说明了美国工作流动性大而相比而言日本工作稳定性高的原因。
尽管我们在许多方面存在差异，但这些差异并无优劣之分。
一种特定的管理行为模式是由多个独特的文化因素复合发展而成的──因而仅在一定的文化中起作用。
让我来描述一下三四种日本文化的特征，它们以某种方式影响着决策以及解决问题的方式。
这些特征是相互联系的。
首先，在日本，任何处理问题的方法或任何谈判都体现着“你对你”的方式，这有别于西方“我对你”的方式。
差别在于：在“我对你”的方式中，双方都坦率地从自己的观点出发提出主张──他们说出自己想要什么，希望得到什么。
如此一来就形成了对峙的局面，西方人也十分善于应付对峙局面。
日本人所采用的“你对你”方式则立足于双方──自然而然地并常常是下意识地──力图理解对方的观点。
因此，会晤的目标是双方共同努力减少对峙，谋求和谐。
第二个特点基于“一致共识”及“由下而上”的原则。
在日本，各阶层所有人员的想法和意见都会得到认真考虑。
无论是在私人企业还是政府部门均是如此。
在日本，人们力求团体的统一，不论这团体是家庭、公司还是国会。
差别在于，西方式的决策多半源自高层管理人员，通常不征求中层管理人员或员工的意见；而在日本，最底层的人员也能提出想法，然后通过组织上传，对最后的决策产生影响。
此谓“由下而上”。
日本特有的交流方式也与西方的不同。
即使生意没做成，日本商人也力求和睦相处，愿意花费必要的时间来确立“你对你”的交流方式，仅仅间接而巧妙地表达个人意见。
这就产生了对时间的不同见解。
在日本，把工作做得全面、彻底比西方那种按限期完成工作的态度更受推崇。
由于侧重点的不同，日本人不仅在生产上讲求彻底，开会也讲求彻底。
因此，美国人对许多日本公司接二连三的会议感到很厌烦。
美国人总是急于做出具体决策，而日本人却试图制定一个大方向。
另一方面，一旦签署了某个协议，却常常是日本人惊讶于西方人履行协议时的拖沓。
日本人急于前行，而西方人因需要时间作详细计划，则可能落后。
现在，虽然日本的工业和技术得到了高度发展，但它们并未取代人力能源和动力的根本力量。
我这么说的意思是，日本人引以为豪的是，无论需要多少时间，他们都会把一项工作做完并做好。
这需要有奉献精神和责任感，在这个机械时代里，它们仍然没有被抛弃。
在我的工作领域──金融和证券业，常有西方人问我，野村证券公司是如何避免美国公司所面临的交易单流通堵塞的。
我们也碰到过这个难题。
东京证交所每天通常有2到3亿笔交易。
这个交易额是纽约证交所的许多倍。
怎样才能处理好这么巨大的数额呢?第一，我们拥有极为先进的计算机。
第二，也是最重要的，负责处理这些交易的操作人员一直工作直到任务完成。
也许20年后，或许用不了这么久，他们就会更加西方化，会坚持一到5点就下班回家。
但在今天，大多数人依然坚持待到工作完成。
这是对质量的真正关心。
“紧要关头，鼎力相助”是日本人处理问题时的一个重要方面，存在于日本社会的各个阶层。
几年前，松下公司遇到难关。
在他们所采取的措施当中，有一项就是松下先生──公司的创始人和当时的董事长──调任销售部经理。
同样，当我们野村证券公司五年前改用电脑系统时，新系统使700名员工失去了原来的工作。
但我们并没有解雇他们；相反，我们将他们转为证券销售人员，其中有些如今成了这方面的骨干。
只要有智慧，只要肯努力，就可以在公司里通过努力获得成功。
在日本，一个人的才能不会被局限于一个固定的领域。
我们认为，对于员工的忠诚奉献，公司应予以回报。
Unit 4二十五六岁时，玛丽·恩格尔布赖特是一个天分很高、却在苦苦求索的画家。
她从家乡圣路易斯飞到纽约，希望找一份为儿童书籍画插图的工作──这是她一生追求的目标。
所以，当她去过的出版社都拒绝了她时，她非常失望。
其中一家出版社甚至建议，她的画也许更适合于贺卡。
“我被击垮了，凉”恩格尔布赖特承认。
与自己所期望的相比，贺卡似乎太低微了。
可是那个建议她却记在心上，而且决定试一试。
这一试永远改变了她的人生。
如今，玛丽·恩格尔布赖特每年卖出的贺卡达1,400万张，这是个惊人的数字。
她那流行的设计出现在2,000多种产品上，其中包括书本、日历、厨房用品中。
