6.A Long and Healthy LifeHave you wished for a magic pill or magic formula (方法) that would let you live happily forever ? If you have, don’t feel alone! It’s a very common, natural wish that has a long history. Spanish explorers of the sixteenth century even tried to find a fountain of youth in what is now the state of Florida. The water of this legendary (传说中的) fountain, which no one has yet found ,was believed to restore youth and good health to those who drank it.Biologists today don’t expect that anyone will find a magical fountain of youth. Growing older is a natural part of the life cycle that can’t be reversed(倒退) .As human beings grow older ,organs such as the heart and lungs may stop functioning properly. Sight and hearing may become weak .And the human body becomes more likely to come down with serious illness from which it cannot recover.Considered together, changes that bring about the decline(衰退) of an organism are called aging .Because of aging ,many biologists believe that there may be a maximum(最大的) age limit to which even the healthiest organisms can live. For human beings, this maximum age limit is about 110 years.Perhaps the most important thing that you can learn from your study of human biology is that you have a lot of control over the aging process in your own life .In fact; within our control are many physical and mental factors that have much to do with aging. For example ,each of us ,as recent research indicates, can do many things to help prevent heart and vessel(血管) disease ,which causes half the deaths each year in the United States .We can avoid eating a lot of fatty meat. Eating too much of these types of animal fats can lead to the clogging(阻塞) and hardening of blood vessels . We can cut back on smoking and hopefully of sugar we eat. We can exercise regularly and strengthen the heart and other organs. And we can remember to take time out each day for ourselves, time just to relax. Exercise ,recreation(娱乐), and relaxation all reduce stress-inner tension that is hard on all body organs.One final thing we can do is to try to keep aware of advances made in health education. Information is often available free of charge from health clinics or schools.(406 words)Comprehension ExercisesⅠ. Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following is the leading cause of death in the United States?A. Heart disease.B. Cancer.C. Alcohol.D. Smoking.2. What happens as people grow older?A. They dream of a magic pill to help them live a happy and long time.B. They come down with serious illnesses.C. Their organs become weak and may stop working properly.D. Their blood vessels become clogged.3. In the opinion of biologists,___.A. the aging process can be reversedB. the aging process can be controlled and slowed downC. the aging process can be got rid ofD. the aging process can go beyond its limit4. We can slow down the weakening of all our body organs by___.A. not eating animal fatB. limiting drinking and smokingC. exercise, recreation and relaxation to blood vesselsD. preventing the clogging and hardening of blood vessels5. Besides physical and mental factors, which of the following also contributes to living a long and healthy life according to the passage?A. Health education.B. Traditional medicine.C. Artificial organs.D. The invention of magic pills.Ⅱ. Judge whether or not the following statements agree with the information given in the passage,and mark Y for YES,N for NO ,or NG if information is not given in the passage.( ) 1.Few people have the wish of finding a magic pill that would be of help to live happily forever.( ) 2.Many biologists believe that each species has a natural maximum age limit.( ) 3.From the passage we know that there is much we can do to help prevent many diseases.( ) 4.Mental factors have little to do with good health. ( ) 5.Doctors believes that regular exercise reduces the chances of getting heart disease.7.The Earth's PastIf the history of the earth could be compressed (压缩)into the span of one year's time,the story of the human race would be written as the the last two hours of the final day!This fact gives you an idea of just how old the Earth is no written record to tell us the Earth's geological past ,the Earth has left a record in the form of fossils.A fossil is the preserved remains or traced of an ancient living thing.Fossils are most often found buried in rock,but they may bones,shells,and woodyalso be found in caves,ancient tar(沥青) beds,and the solid ice that covered the Earth's polar regions.In all these places,fossils are protected from damaging effects of weathering and erosion(侵蚀).Usually only the hard parts are preserved.The hard part can include ones,shells,and woody tissues.The soft parts,like flesh,either decay or are eaten by animals before they can be preserved.One exception is when an organism is subjected to extreme cold.Then the entire body may be preserved in ice.Sometimes the remains of an organism are preserved after after having been changed into a completely different form.For instance,coal deposits on the Earth are actually the fossilremains of plants.When plants decompose(腐烂),eventually only deposits of carbon remain.When the carbon is under extreme pressure for a long period of time,it is slowly transformed into coal.Coal is called a"fossil fuel"because of the way it is created.Fossils can help geologists(地质学家)learn about how animal and plant species have changed over time.Since geologists can date the rocks that the fossils are in,they can also tell during what time period in the past a species lived.For example,on the geologic calendar,you can see that fish first appear in the era labeled Paleozoic(古生代).This means that the oldest rocks discovered to contain fish fossils are between 225 million and 600 million years old.We can assume that fish existed in the world at least 225 million years ago.Fossils are also used to study extinct(灭绝的) species.There are no longer any living woolly mammoths(猛犸) on the Earth,but we can know what a woolly mammoth looked like by studing the frozen bodies found in Siberia.(406 words)Comprehension ExercisesⅠ.Choose the best answers to the following question.1.How old is the Earth?A.Over 225 million years.B.Over 600 million years.C.Between 225 and 600 million years.D.Over 4 billion years.2.We know the age of the life on the Earth because ____.A.there is written record of the Earth's geological pastB.some fossils are found in good shape.C.the earth contains a record in the form of fosssils.D.some scientists have studied some extinct animals3.Where can we find fossils besides in rock and caves?A.In water.B.In woody tissues.C.In solid ice.D.In coal.4.How is coal created?A.The remains of dead plants are transformed into depositsof coal under extreme pressure over a long time.B.The remains of dead animals have been changed into a completed different form.C.Rocks and tar beds have bee different form over time.n changed into a completely different form over time.D.The soft parts of organisms have been changed into a completely different form.5.Fossils are usually found in rock,caves,ice and so on.Why?A.Because these are the places where fossils can form.B.Because these are the places where fossils can be protected from the damage of weathering and erosion.C.Because these are the places where fossils can be changed into a completely different form.D.Because these are the places where dead animals and plants can decompose and be transformed.Ⅱ.Complete the following sentences with the informationgiven in the passage.1.____ of ancient animals and plants in rock are known as fossils.2.Fossils are most often found in rock,caves,tar beds andice,where they can be preserved from the damage of ____.3.Coal is made from the remains of ____ that have been changed into a completely different form.4.____ of an organism can not be preserved except in solid ice.5.Fish are estimated to have on the Earth for____.8.Plastic Trash an environmental ConcernWith the invention of polymers(聚合物),chemists gives us plastic.As a consumer product,plastic is strong,versatile(用途广泛的),and durable(耐用的).It can hold up under heat and pressure and can be subjected to total submersion(浸泡)in water (even ocean water)and not be affected.You canleaveit outside,and the weather.Unlike most other materials,plastic does not naturally decay(腐烂).For useful consumer products,this remarkable durability is a blessing.Plastic bottles are light and unbreakable;plastic bags do not leak or tear as easily as paper bags do.But when these items are ready for the garbage,it's an environmental nightmare!Millions of tons of plastic garbage litter ourhighways and beaches.Plastic trash even affects marine life in the oceans.According to the National Academy of Sciences,more than 600,000 plastic containers and bags are thrown into the oceans every day.Fisherman lose or throw away an estimated 150,000 tons of plastic fishing gear (渔具)each year.At least forty-two species of seabirds are known to snack on plastic ,a habit that is often fatal(致命的).In addition tens of thousands of seals,sea lions,and turtles die each year after becoming caught in bits of fish netting.What should we do with the hundreds of millions of tons of plastic and other polymer products that end up in the garbage each year?We could burn it.However,that creates a thick,black smock that is not only intolerable but is also a dangerous form of air pollution.We could bury it,but solid waste dumps have their own pollution problems.Too often,trash in the dumps is not buried for a long period of time and becomes a health hazard(危险) for birds and other land animals,including nearby human residents.What's more,highly populated countries with limited land may find that land is far too valuable to use as a dump site.Obviously,a large-scale solution to the plastic trashproblemis not yet in sight.However,individuals can help by keeping some of that plastic out of the garbage for as long as possible.For example,people who get plastic bags from the grocery store could save them and reuse them.Some people may choose not to buy plastic products when the same item is available in paper or glass.Of course,these are only small steps,but they could eventually be part of a large solution.(412 words) Comprehension ExercisesⅠ.Choose the best answers to the following question.1.What's the main idea of passage?A.Plastic is an ideal material.B.Plastic garbage has become an environmental concern.C.Plastic is a consumer product.D.No way has been found to solve the plastic trash problem.2.What are the main properties(特性)of plastic as a useful consumer product?A.Strong,versatile,durable.B.Cheap,convenient,reusable.C.Soft,light,unbreakable.D.Waterproof,unable to decay,burnable.3.Plastic trash affects the life of seabirds.For example,____.A.they are often caught in bits of netting.B.sea water is polluted by plastic trash.C.they mistake plastic trash for food.D.sea beaches are littered with plastic garbage.4.Which of the following properties of plastics makes plastic garbage a great environmental concern?A.Light weight.B.Strength.C.Fire-proofD.Resistance to weathering and decay.5.Which of the following methods is environmentally sound in dealing with plastic trash?A.Dumping it in the ocean far away from shore.B.burning it at sea.C.Not mentioned in this passage.D.Leaving it in the open air.Ⅱ.Judge whether or not the following statements agree withthe information given in the passage,and mark Y for YES,N for NO ,or NG if information is not given in the passage.( )1.Presently efforts to deal with plastic trash have got somewhere.( )2.Burying plastic trash will lead a shortage of land for human use.( )3.The durability of plastics is of great help to daily life in every respect.( )4.Obviously a large-scale solution to the plastic trash problem is to keep plastic out of garbage for as long as possible.( )5.It is suggested in this passage that we use more paper or glass instead of plastic products so as to reduce plastic trash.9.Meat Industries Are Destroying the PlanetRisk of mad cow disease,and heart disease isn't the only reason to eat less meat:the planet simply cannot sustain a population that increasingly feeds on animal protein(蛋白质),says the U.K. Government's Sustainable Development Commission. The problem lies in that animals consume vast supplies of land, crops, water and other resources in order to produce a much smaller quantity of animal protein for human consumption. The fast growing population of animals for use in the human food supply is being described as,"...one of the biggest environmental crises we're now facing."Then, there's the environmental impact of raising so many animals for food in the first place. Thousands of acres of rain forest continue to be cleared in South American in order to convert jungle to grazing land(牧场)for cattle. That alone is alarming, and yet that's only the beginning. Cows, chickens and pigs produce waste on a massive scale, and that waste is often drained directly into rivers or-this is true-fed back to other animals. Then, there's the use of water while they grow. As water becomes increasingly scarce in decades to come, this will become an issue of great contention(争论). So,it seems that from an environmental point of view, responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animal protein. Finally,there's the ethics(行为准则)of eating meat. One of the reasons I don't eat red meat in particular is because red meat comes from intelligent mammals(哺乳动物): cows and pigs.These beings have social structures, they communicate with each other, and they communicate with each other, and they most definitely feel pain. To raise an intelligent animal for no purpose other than to slaughter(屠杀) it and sell its flesh is, in my opinion, evil. The further you go down the scale of intelligence, the less evil this becomes. Killing a chicken and eating it is not so evil, since chickens don't have the intelligence of cows and pigs. Consuming bacteria(in yogurt(乳酸), for example) is not at all evil, since bacteria are not capable of feeling pain, it seems. But Pigs? Pigs are as intelligent as dogs. Would you slaughter your pet dog and eat it? If not, then why would you support the slaughter of animals with similar intelligence? And remember: every time you buy bacon or sausage, you are indirectly slaughtering another pig, another intelligent being.What do you think? Do you believe mammals have souls? Do you think cows and pigs are capable of feeling and understanding pain? Does your pet dog understand pain? Can the planet sustain a population that consumes that consumes large quantities of animal protein? How could societies shift to plant sources of protein? Give it some thought.1题,Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.The earth will not sustain us if we continue to raise animals.B.Eating meat will do harm to our health.C.Meat consumption is becoming one of the biggest environmental crises.D.Intelligent animals lake cows and pigs have feelings and souls.2.Why does the author hold that meat industries are destroying the planet?A. Because they increase the risk of mad cow disease and heart diseaseB. Because animals raised for food consume a vast amount of resources like land,water and so onC. Because killing and eating intelligent animals has destroyed our ethics and souls.D. Because the number of intelligent animals has been greatly reduced3.What does the writer mean by saying"The further you go down the scale of intelligence,the less evil this becomes"?A. Killing low-intelligence animals is less evil than killing high-intelligence animalsB. It is not evil to raise animals for human foodC. Responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animals proteinD. Animal intelligence is still an issue of great contention4.What attitude does the author take towards the consumption of animal protein?A. OptimisticB. PessimisticC. CriticalD. Positive5.What does the author suggest at the end of passage?A. People should care much about animal intelligenceB. The human population should be considerably reducedC. People should consume more plant protein while reducing animal proteinD. We should raise cows and pigs just as we raise our dogs2题:Complete the following sentences with the information given in the passage.1.The passage tells us that killing and selling the flesh of _______is evil.rge areas of ______are being cleared in order to create moregrazing land.3.The author thinks it is not evil at all to consume ______,because they cannot feel pain.4.It is reasonable for human beings to reduce ______from an environment point of view.5.It is less evil to kill a chicken than to kill a pig because chicken are ______as pigs.10.The HuntersA guy buys a brand new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500.He and a friend go duck hunting in winter,and of course all the lakes are frozen.These two guys go out on the lake with the guns,the dog,and of course the new vehicle.They drive out onto the lake ice and get ready.Now,they want to make some kind of a natural landing area for the ducks,something for the decoys to float on.In order to make a hole large enough to look like something a wandering duck would fly down and land on,it is going to take a little more effort than an ice hole drill.So,out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a short,40-second fuse.Now these two men do takeinto consideration that they want to place the stick of dynamite on the ice at a location far from where they are standing and the new Navigator,because they don't want to take the risk of slipping on the ice when they run from the burning fuse and possibly go up in smoke with the resulting blast.They light the 40-second fuse and throw the dynamite.What happens then?Their dog,highly trained for seeking and picking back things thrown by the owner,takes off at a high rate of doggy speed on the ice and captures the stick of dynamite with the burning 40-second fuse about the time it hits the ice.The two men yell,scream,wave their arms and wonder what to do now.The dog,cheered on,keeps coming.One of the guys grabs the shotgun and shoots at the dog.The shotgun is loaded with buckshot,hardly big enough to stop it.The dog stops for a moment,slightly confused,but continues on.Another shot and this time the dog,still standing,because really confused, and of course terrified,thinking these two geniuses have gone mad. The dog takes off to find cover under the brand-new Navigator. —BOOM!—The dog and the Navigator are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole,leaving the two idiots standing there with this "I can't believe this happened"look on their faces.1题:Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.The Lincoln Navigator in this passage is .A. a carB. A stick of dynamiteC. A decoyD. A dog2.Why do the two men yell and scream when they see the dog capture the stick of dynamite?A. Because they what will result from the dog's actionB. Because that is what they expectC. Because they are pleased to see itD. Because they quite appreciate the dog's skill3.Why do the two guys use dynamite?A. Because they want to make a large hole in the iceB. Because they want to smoke ducks downC. Because they want to go up in smoke with the resulting blastD. Because they want to frighten ducks and make them fly out4.Why dose one of the two men shoot at the dog?A. Because the dog is frightened by the dynamite and has gone madB. Because the dog tries to run away from themC. Because the dog is cheered by the two men's shoutingD. Because the dog picks up the dynamite and runs toward them5.In the passage,an"I can't believe this happened"look on one's face is .A. a disappointed lookB. a pitiful lookC. a surprised lookD. an embarrassed look2题:Judge whether or not the following statements agree with the information given in the passage,and mark Y for YES,N for NO,or NG if information is not given in the passage.( )1.From the story we know that the dog is smart and understands his masters very well.( )2.The two guys do consider placing the dynamite far away form where they are standing and the Navigator.( )3.Their dog is well trained for running after and picking back things thrown by the owner.( )4.The dog,confused and terrified by the gunshot,tries to find some place to hide itself.( )5.The blast sends the dog and the two men up in smoke.11.The Woman Who Thought She Was Going to Be RobbedOn a recent weekend in Atlantic City,a woman won a bucketful of quarters(面值25美分的硬币)at a slot machine(投币赌博机).She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room.But first she wanted to put the quarters in her room.She carried the coinladen bucket to the elevator she noticed two en already aboard.Both were black.One of them was big,very big.The first thought was:These two are going to rob me.Her next thought was:Don't be silly;they look like perfectly nice gentlemen.But she could not move a step out of fear.She stood and stared at the two men.She feltanxious,nervous and ashamed.She hoped they didn't read her mind.Surely they knew that her hesitation(犹豫)about joining them in the elevator was all too obvious.Her face became red.She couldn't just stand there,so with a mighty effort of will she picked up one foot and stepped forward and was on the elevator.Avoiding eye contact,she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed.A second passed,and thenanother second,and then another.Her fear increased!The elevator didn't move.Panic consumed her."My God,"she thought," I'm trapped and about to be robbed!"Her heart sank.Then...

Module 2 Unit 1 Great BooksMr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What's up? What are you doing in the library?Betty: I was looking for some old copies of the school magazine. If I've got it right, it was called New Standard.As far as I remember, it was started by Becky Wang. We don't have a school magazine any more. It's a pity.Betty: Well, I'm thinking about starting it again.Mr Jackson: Sounds like a good idea! Go on.Betty: I was also looking for something by Confucius and by Shakespeare.Mr Jackson: Really? That's a bit difficult for the school magazine.Betty: Well, I'd like a monthly article called "Great Books"—you know, someone reads a favourite work of literature and writes an article about it.Mr Jackson: I see. Confucius' works are still read by many people today, and we're still influenced by his thoughts. And Shakespeare's plays are seen by millions of people every year.But how about an American writer, Mark Twain, for example?Betty: I don't know. Mark Twain was an important writer, but he isn't known as a great thinker like Confucius.Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular. In fact, he wrote my favourite book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Perhaps that's what makes "Great Books"—they're still read today. Betty: So why don't you write the first article on "Great Books"?Answer the questions.1. Who do you think Mr. Jackson is?2. What was Betty looking for in the library? Why?3. What does Betty think of Mark Twain’s books?4. What is Mr. Jackson’s opinion of what a great book is?Unit1 Confucius’ works are read by many peo ple.杰克逊先生:你好,贝蒂,什么事?你在图书馆里做什么?贝蒂:我在找一些学校杂志的旧册子。

Unit 1How to StudyThere is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn't do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour 's work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours' work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he'll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours' work in one day, he'll be so tired that he'll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he 'd learn more (point 5).Now whatever the exact shape of the graph 's curve, made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue. Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can't escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best—and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.The skill in being a student consists of getting one 's daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that's a pretty good sign you 've reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at about five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less—but if you get in five hours' good work a day, you will be doing well.Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren't working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one 's physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn't chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.When you 've finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work—that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn't matter what—anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.有一个关于学习有许多误解。

Unit 1The Evolving Notion of Home“Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the ideal of home has great importance for many people.This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small households were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the life-and-death importance of family cooperation and hard work.Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly identical, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life.For the new suburbanites of the 1950s and 1960s, however, life inside their small houses was very different from life on a farm. First, the family spent much less time together in the house. The father frequently drove, or commuted, as much as an hour to work each morning. The children went to school all day and played after school with neighborhood children. The suburb itself was sometimes called a bedroom community because people used their houses basically for sleeping. Second, the suburb was not a stable community: Families moved frequently as the fathers sought upward mobility — better-paying jobs and bigger houses. Although the idea of home was still as precious as always, it had taken on a different meaning.In the 1970s and 1980s, as more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: People can now telecommute, or work at home, while being linked to the office by means of their computers. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old expression could change from“Home, sweet home” to “Home, sweet office,” but the emphasis on the ideal of home will most likely stay the same.不断发展的家的概念“家,甜蜜的家”是一个短语,表达一个基本态度在美国。

学习,中国模式1987年的春天,我和妻子艾伦带着我们18个月大的儿子本杰明在中国繁忙的东部城市南京居住了一个月,这期间我们在研究中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育。

但是我和艾伦就中美两国教育理念的不同之处所得到的最令人难忘的一课并不是发生在教室里,而是发生在我们在南京居住的那个金陵饭店的大堂里。

我们房间的钥匙被系在一个很大的塑料板上,上面写着房间号。

当离开饭店时,客人被要求上交钥匙,要么把钥匙递给服务员,要么把它丢进开有一个狭缝的盒子里。

因为钥匙狭缝很窄,所以只有仔细地将钥匙对准狭缝才能把钥匙放进盒子中去。

本杰明喜欢拿着钥匙到处跑,边跑边用力甩动。

他也喜欢努力去把钥匙放进狭缝中。

因为他还年幼,不完全理解怎样做才能把钥匙放进去,所以他总是会失败,然而本杰明却一点也不为此事而感到苦恼。

他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

当时我和艾伦都很乐意让本杰明在钥匙狭缝周围猛敲。

他探索性的行为似乎百无一害。

但不久我便发现了一个有趣的现象。

任何附近的中国职员总会过来看着本杰明,然后在他初次尝试失败后摇摇头,就试图去帮助本杰明一下。

他(她)会抓住本杰明的手,温柔地但坚定地引导着钥匙直指狭缝,必要的时候改变一下钥匙的位置,帮助他把钥匙插入狭缝中去。

这位“老师”之后总会笑着看着我们,脸上显出几分期待,似乎是在等我们说声谢谢——并且有时会微微皱眉,好像是认为我们忽视了父母所应尽的责任。

不久我意识到这件事与我们被分配的在中国进行的任务密切相关:去调查儿童启蒙教育(尤其是在艺术方面)的方式,以帮助理解中国人对创造力的态度。

因此不久后我便开始在同中国教育者们的探讨中提及我的‘钥匙狭缝轶事’。

两种不同的学习方法除了少数几个人外,我的其余中国同事均和金陵饭店的职员持相同的观点。

既然大人们知道如何把钥匙放进钥匙狭缝里,这也正是使钥匙靠近狭缝的最终目的,既然孩子既不足够大也不足够聪明完全靠自己去实现这个想要的结果,让他自己如此挣扎他可能会得到什么呢?他可能会变得沮丧,很生气——这当然不是我们想要的一个结果。

听的技巧:
1、频繁的进行英语实验。首先阅读的英语课本,然后听和看一起,然后只听不看。说出或写下你刚刚听到的。
2、在班里当其他同学说的时候静静的听。注意这个作业,不要担心你会做。
3、如果你感到紧张,通过休息一下和深呼吸来放松自己的身体。当你被叫到时,暂停,放松,给自己一个准备的反应。
4、练习:参加语言俱乐部,看外国电视,听外语收音。
最有效的学习是你的积极而不是消极。一个消极的过程(就像看电视)得到的很少甚至在你的部分里没有功能,信息也会很快忘记。在积极学习时,你的关注度会达到最高,使你完全理解整个话题。高效学习让你在学习过程中成为一个积极的参与者。
这里有许多方法和技巧可以让你成长为一个积极学习的人。下面是一些建议。
通过浏览课本的章节预习课程材料来了解主题和思想。问自己一些问题,然后在你阅读的时候做笔记(用自己的话)。这将意味着你在讲师讨论之前抓住了文章的主要材料。
阅读技巧
1、首先,为完成任务而阅读词汇清单。然后关于文章带着问题去读。然后看整篇文章两到三遍,通过上下文猜测文章的含义。避免逐词的翻译。这是浪费时间。
2、把新词汇分离出来单独学习。不要在写在行之间!做一个新的单词卡然后记住它。带着他们然后在每天的零碎的时间背诵。学习他们直到你能自动记住。
3、分离新的语法然后单独学习。写下和标记例句。当你阅读到面对这个模式时,暂停下然后背诵这个模板来认出来。

UNIT 1:Active reading(1):大学已经不再特别了有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人,这话可能是真的。

但是,20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得,那就是:上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。

20世纪60年代,加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。

然而,加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。

1966年,罗纳德•里根竞选加州州长,他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。

”自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。

在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

许多抗议是针对越南战争的。

可是在法国,巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟,发动了一场大罢工,最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。

20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。

不论在什么地方,上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味,初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。

你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书,看你的第一部独立影人电影,或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米•亨德里克斯或兰尼•布鲁斯的志同道合者。

那是一段难以想象的自由时光,你一生中最无拘无束的时光。

可如今那份激情哪儿去了?大学怎么了?现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。

例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50%的30岁以下的人上大学的目标(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。

不过,大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。

如今,大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。

有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。

在伍斯特理工学院的演讲罗伯特巴拉德或许我受邀演讲的一个原因是,再过几个星期我就五十岁了,但是我对我的将来仍然充满兴奋感,就像三十年前一样。

当时,我大学毕业,准备进入人生一个新的阶段。

对我来说,生活就是一次冒险。

一系列的旅程,一圈圈的环绕。

就像所有伟大的梦想一样,他们都始于一个梦。

当我长大以后,梦想仍然是我生命中的一部分。

每个人都有梦想并努力去使自己的梦想成真。

对我来说,我的梦想就是冒险。

我心目中的英雄是类似于马可波罗,詹姆斯库克船长,和儒勒凡尔纳的小说中那些神话般的人物。

其中一个我欣赏的英雄出自《海底两万里》,包括里面的诺第留斯号核潜艇及尼莫船长。

我最大的梦想就是能建造一艘自己的潜艇然后环游海底世界,成为像尼莫船长那样的人物——能从他的魔力窗户里看到平生未尝见过的事物。

我很幸运拥有这样的梦想。

我的父亲是一名工程师,我的哥哥是一名物理学家。

对他们来说世界充斥着物理定律。

物理定律,多么美妙的一样事物啊。

不管你走到宇宙中的哪个角落它都能适用。

假使你能旅行到我们星系的最远处,发现一个拥有智慧生命的生灵,这些生灵可能从未听说过共产主义或资本主义,律师或政治家,但他们却会懂得物理学的定律。

如果上帝想创造什么定律来引导我们,他也理所当然会包括这个定律在内。

一个像尼莫船长那样伟大的探险家怎么可能会不知道这个主导宇宙的万能定律呢?这个发现对我来说实在太幸运了。

它意味着我的梦想有可能成为现实。

我发现当我尝试去实现我的梦想的时候,我就可以实现。

当我遵循这个物理定律时一切皆有可能。

当它成为可能,梦想就触手可及,就算必须冒很多险进行很多的尝试。

在一次伟大的旅程中,当你拥有了一个梦想,你就会开始为自己准备去实现它。

这都是你们在过去四年中一直做的事。

以我为例,我的旅途是身体力行的。

我觉得自己所做的一切是如此美妙。

我能够远离这个社会去一些更远的地方冒险。

就像伊阿宋智取金羊毛,尤利西斯和他的奥德赛史诗。

当我长大以后,世界板块被极大地开发延伸了,最终定界于天空和海底。

第一单元学习方式Text A哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中蓁教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。

由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。

本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。

他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。

由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。

本杰明一点也不在意。

他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。

他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。

但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。

饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。

他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙的槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。

然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。

我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。

因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。

两种不同的学习方式我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。

”既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

Text B-2总之,什么是智力?一句话,什么是智力?当我在军队的时候,我收到了这样子的每个士兵都要参与的能力倾向测验,与标准的100分不同,是160分。

在基地里没有人曾经见过这样的东西,然后两个小时后他们对我大惊小怪(这不意味着什么。

第二天我还是一个在厨房帮忙的普通的士兵——这是我的最高责任)。

所有我的生活就像我得到那样的成绩,那让我很开心我有很高的智商,我期待着其他人也像我那样想。

事实上,即使这样的成绩只是简单的意味着这我擅长回答这种类型的学术问题,就像制造这些问题的人一样——人们首要的对理论或基于假设的事实感兴趣。

例如,我曾经有一个汽车修理工,根据我的估计,他在这种智力测试题上甚至不能拿到高于80分的成绩。

我总是理所当然地认为我有着比他好很多的智力。

但是当我的汽车出了任何问题的时候我都赶紧带着汽车去找他,当他探索汽车部时焦急地看着他,听着他的判断,就像这是神谕一样——他总是把我的汽车修好。

所以,假设我这个汽车修理工设计出一份智力检测题,或者假设一个木匠出题,或是一个农民,或是其他所有人但不是一个学者,在每一份这样的测验里,我可以证明自己是一个傻子,我也会成为一个笨人。

在这个世界上在不能用我的学习成绩和演说技巧而需要做一些复杂或是困难的用手的工作,我会变得拙劣。

我的智商,不是绝对的,这依赖于我所生存的社会价值以及社会已经成为一小部分人的判断的事实。

再一次想到哪位汽车修理工。

每当他看到我时他都有和我开玩笑的习惯。

有一次他从摩托车的发动机罩里抬头对我说:“教授,一个又聋又哑的人去一个五金店想买一些钉子。

他把两个手指放在一起放到柜台上然后用另一只手做出锤他们的动作。

售货员拿出了锤子。

他摇头指向他的要锤的两个手指。

然后售货员给他拿了钉子。

他数出了他需要的数量然后离开了。

然后,教授,第二个进来的人是个盲人,他想买个剪刀。

你猜他会怎么得到它?”宽容地,我举起我的左手用我的前面两个手指摆出了剪刀的样子。

于是汽车修理工大声的笑了起来,说:“为什么,你这个愚蠢的人类,他用他的声音来获得它。

”然后他很自鸣得意的说:“我问了今天的所有顾客。

”“你抓到很多不会的人?”我问。

“有一些,”他说,“但我确定你一定不会。

”“为什么?”我问。

“因为你具有非常高的教育水平,教授,我知道你不会很聪明。

”然后我有一种不安的感觉,他是对的。

U2怀念我的爷爷奶奶(Remembering My Grandparents)当我的记忆开始,我的祖父是过去60,一个伟大的高大男子厚厚成为白发。

他的黑眼睛和鼻子直而尖在一座坡度平缓结束。

有一次,他向我解释说,他认真了,作为一个小的孩子扁平小费时,他掉下来,他的鼻子加强。

笑声在他的眼角小标志是一个善良和幽默自然的产物。

弯曲的工作,他的肩膀已经过去数年从未和他的迟钝,他幽默的笑话爱。

所到之处,“格兰普”让朋友很容易。

在一个半小时结束时,您觉得自己已经知道他所有的生活。

我很快了解到,他讨厌下达命令,但,当他要,他设法使他的命令像建议的声音。

7月的一个早晨,当他正准备出门去的玉米地,他说,“埃德温,你可以选择在该领域的土豆今天,如果你想这样做。

”然后,他赶走了他的马匹。

一天过去了,我没有任何欲望拿起马铃薯。

晚上来了,土豆是在外地还是。

格兰普,灰尘和疲倦,带领马匹得到他们的饮料。

“如何多袋土豆在那里?”格兰普询问。

“我不知道。

”“有多少你拿起土豆?”“我没有任何选择。

”“不是任何一个!为什么不呢?”“你说我能接他们回家,如果我想。

你没有说我要。

”在接下来的几分钟,我学到了教训,我不会忘记:当格兰普说我可以,如果我想,他的意思,我应该想。

我的祖母(“克”)辛苦了一天,洗衣服,打扫房子,使黄油,甚至在外地工作时,帮助是有限的。

到了晚上,虽然,她太累了,没有从社区图书馆阅读书籍。

对于读取超过40年革兰大声格兰普几乎每天晚上。

这样,她和格兰普了解所有历史上的伟大斗争,并成为与伟大的作家和名人的作品熟悉的生活。

克憎恨残酷和不公正。

历史的不公正,即使是那些1000年以前,激怒了她高达她那个时代的不公正现象。

她还有一个美丽的深深的爱。

当她几乎是75,并已前往现场与她的一个女儿,她花了一个愉快的上午洗碗,因为她说,在菜的美丽图案让她感到高兴。

鸟,花,云,这是她周围的一切,她高兴美丽。

她喜欢的法国画家,小米,谁用来收集基层和展示给他的儿子,说:“瞧,这是多么美丽的父亲!”在社会的先驱,是心灵和性格的价值是难以素质。

较温和的美德被认为是不必要的。

男人和女人每天挣扎谋生不能,即使是现在,忘记了自己的生命维护业务。

只有不寻常的人,像我的祖父母,管理,以保持在世界的日常斗争的柔软品质。

这样的两个人一起花了我6个月的夏季和青年的美妙天至9月The True Story of a Young Man当林赛·雷金纳德收到了莫尔豪斯学院的奖学金在亚特兰大,佐治亚州,他最想要了一份好薪水的好工作。

提出了由他的祖父母后他的父母已经离婚,而他还很年轻。

通过一段时间的种族关系深远进展一直住在Reg。

在1968 年的夏天Reg自己成为了这种进展的一个好例子,当他成为了第一个黑人学生任命为一个特殊的新程序。

该程序明亮年轻学生介绍到佐治亚州政府的运作,并鼓励他们寻求那里的就业后整理他们的教育。

"我很幸运,"他说。

"我似乎一直在正确的地方在正确的时间"。

但运气只是一部分的Reg的故事,为他做出了最多的来到他的方式的机会。

他学会了读幼儿园,开始前往公共图书馆定期来借书。

他的祖父母鼓舞了他,虽然他们两个都受过多少教育,和他们给他买了一套百科全书。

他回忆说,我喜欢那些书"。

"我用来下楼来吃早饭前和短小的文章。

我很喜欢读关于有名的人,,然后我会假装是其中之一。

这部分是一个幼稚的游戏,部分是一种逃避吧它不是太多的乐趣是一个黑人,一个孩子的时候。

同时攻读学士学位在莫尔豪斯学院,Reg工作几个政治运动帮助候选人被选到政府办事处。

在同一时间他主修政治科学的同时保持了平均"B"。

他曾担任一个学生顾问来赚点外快的大学费用,和他在西班牙Valencia大学就读一年奖学金。

与只是两年,以完成在哈佛法律学院,这也给了他一笔奖学金,Reg取得一个良好的开端,对他的职业生涯。

他说,"好生活对我来说是种的生活哪里可以找到满意的公共服务。

U3Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing?Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy,such as pop culture,he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.现在的家长与孩子是一种朋友的关系,他们穿着相似的服装,听着相同的音乐,这是一个好的现象吗?有时候,当鲍尔默先生和16岁的女儿伊莉莎白一起听着摇滚乐谈论着共同感兴趣的事情,比如摇滚文化时,他就会想起在自己还是孩子时,和父母的距离有多远.“I would never have said to my mom,‘Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”鲍尔默先生说:我从来不会和我妈妈谈到:嘿,维泽的新专辑真是棒极了,你觉得呢?这样的话题,因为我们的品味实在是相差太远.Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.以前的父母和小孩经常行进在不同的轨道上,不仅表现在音乐品味,从服饰发型到活动愿望都不一样.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent—child activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.谈论性和毒品这在以前是不可能在父母与孩子间出现的,而现在谈论这些则很自然很普遍.而亲子互动,从购物到运动,都是充满这信任与友爱的,而这种感觉可以持续到孩子成年.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.”正因如此,现在我们看到孩子给父母的卡片上写着:给妈妈,我最好的朋友.也就不足为奇了. But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,”says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”但是家庭专家提出:这种新的父母与子女间的平等也会导致家长得到的尊重降低.黎巴嫩谷学院的的心理学教授凯瑞表示:在父母对待孩子的方式上,还是有很多严肃以及权威的的成分,但是现在正在发生改变.而在这个改变的过程中,家长们有很多的疑惑Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.对正在转变的角色和态度家庭关系研究者门给出了很多的原因.他们认为20世纪60年代是一个转折点.巨大的文化转型带来了此转变,人们以更加的方式开展更多交流,鼓励所有人各抒己见.“My parents were on the ‘before’side of that change,but today’s parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the ‘after’side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”鲍尔默先生说到:我的父母是出于转变之前,而现在的这些40多岁的家长们则是处于转变之后.对于现在的父母来说,要达到这样的转变并不简单,毕竟现在的生活更加复杂更加难以处理,但是和孩子拥有共同的兴趣爱好还是能给我们带来更多的乐趣.“Fun" is, in fact, a word heard far more often in families today than in the past, when "duty" and "responsibility" used to be heard from time to time.“乐趣”实际上是一听见的话更经常在家庭今天比过去,当“责任”和“责任”用来被听到。
