In my parents’ words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better. (194 words)Unit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin & John, sung by Dion. Abraham, Martin & JohnDionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he's gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he' s gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just looked around,And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,And we'll he free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' up over the hill, With Ahrah am, Martin and John.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi¬nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi¬nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.Part II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un¬derground Railroad to freedom.2.

To deal with this problem, animal protectionists have forged an international alliance. On the other hand they have urged the United Nations to lay down more specific laws to save these animals.2) It was reported that food supplies would soon run out and most of the victims of the earthquake would starve to death. At huge risk, a group of volunteers from the Red Cross took on the mission to transport food, clothes and medicine to the most seriously hit areas.3) A rally was going to be held in honor of the 16th US President Abraham Lincoln who abolished slavery in 1863 and liberated the slaves in the South.

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. a2. d3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Language Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United Statesin the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.(254 words)Unit 3Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear is all about a "Saturday Night Special". Listen and see if you can guess what a Saturday Night Special is.Saturday Night SpecialLynyrd SkynyrdTwo feets1 they come a-creepin' 2 Like a black cat do. Ana two bodies are layin' naked, Creeper thinks lie's got nothin' to lose.So he creeps into the house, yean, And unlocks the door, And as a man's reachin' for his trousers Snoots him full or 38 holes.It's the Saturday Night Special, Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't no good for nothing4 But put a man six feet in a hole.Big Jim's keen a-drinkin' whiskey, And playin' poker on a losin' night,1 Two feets: Normally we say two feet.2 a-creepin: in the state of creeping, "a-", here, is a prefix meaning "in the state or process of.3 38 refers to a 38 calibre (P S) handgun or pistol.4 Ain't no good for nothing: a non-standard way of saying "They are good for nothing"And pretty soon ol' Jim starts thinkin' Somebody's been cheatin' and lyin' .So big Jim commenced to fightin'1,I wouldn't tell you no lies.big Jim done pulled his pistol,Snot his friend right between the eyes.It's the Saturday Night Special, Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole.On, that's a Saturday Night Special,For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one, too.Hand guns are made for till in , They ain't no good for nothin' else. And if you like to drink your whiskey You might even shoot yourself.So why don't we dump'em people To the bottom of the sea Before some ol' fool come around here, Wanna shoot either you or me.It's the Saturday night specialYou got a barrel that's blue and coldYou ain't good for nothin'But put a man six feet in a bole.It's the Saturday night specialAnd I'd like to tell you what you could do with itAnd that's the end of the song.The unit we are going to study, like the song you have just heard, is all about the threat of crime. It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2) Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4) Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasant of homes.5) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.6) Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 In America, the era of leaving the front door on the latch has drawn to a close.Part Two Paras 4-15 A new atmosphere of fear and distrust has crept into every aspect of daily life. As a result, security devices, in varied forms, are put to use.Part Three Paras 16-19By locking our fears out, we become prisoners of our own making.V ocabularyI. 1.1) tranquil3) by a small margin5) rural7) era9) without so much as11) barricaded13) error15) Bathed in2. 1) bring about3) cut off5) wear (the other) down7) put up2) analyze4)civilize6)closed up8)paste10)sideways12)hook up to14)chart2) looked back on4) fit into6) lies in8) stand for3. 1) A certain gene which is likely to make people vulnerable to asthma has been found byresearchers at the Department of Clinical Medicine in Oxford.2) A wardrobe with mirrored doors had to be built in so as to make their small bedroom look larger.3) The NBC show's opening shots feature the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in January 1986—killing all seven crew.4) Colds can be held at bay by increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables which are both low in calories and rich in Vitamin C.5) Energy difficulties are a major barrier to the country's economic growth due to the fact that imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange / because imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange.4. 1) Jacob looked back on his summer holidays spent on the Big Island of Hawaii with its beautiful landscape and tranquil atmosphere as a rare escape from the madness of urban life.2) I was puzzled by the word "e-mail" when I came across it for the first time years ago. "What is an e-mail? What on earth does the letter 'e' here stand for?" I asked myself. Later, I got to know that e-mail is a system for communicating messages by electronic rather than physical means.3) Mr. Smith has, over the years, established his name as a successful used-car dealer in the minds of local people. He places regular though small advertisements in newspapers featuring affordable second-hand cars, vans and trucks.

Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. b3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(#JE Appendix III)Language Practice1. impact3. draw the line at5. circumstance7. take the plunge9. aggressive11. advocated13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. recommend6. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm12. insure14. in our favor16. count on18.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man or a small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is, for we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unprotected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenseless.(184 words)Unit 4Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Every child likes listening to stories. Zoe, a girl with wings, is no exception.

Two thousand and eleven years ago in 1985, a tribe of beings from the Dog Star invaded Earth. They were called An-vils." "And what did these beings look like, father?""Like humans in many, many respects. They each had two arms, two legs, and all the other organs that humans are endowed with. But they also had a pair of wings and long, purple tails.""How many of these beings were there?"。

参考译文第一单元成长课文A我们写作时常常被告诫，脑子里要有读者，笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。
但有一位读者特别不该忘记。
你能猜出是谁吗?当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。
为自己而写拉塞尔·田克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这—一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。
他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—·本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年，不少日子过去了，还真率出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题供我们选择。
像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数—样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，——直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。
我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。
…这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有—个吃起来得心应手的。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。
”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。
”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。

Unit FiveSection A 优雅的双手我从未见过克拉克夫人，但看过她的医疗记录和上一位值班医生交给我的报告后，我知道她今晚会去世。
她屋里唯一的光线来自一台医疗设备，它闪着红光，似乎在发出警告。
我站在那里，一股怪味刺激着我的鼻子，我想起了过去闻到过的腐烂的气味，我闭上了眼睛。
我嘴里有一股从胃里返上来的酸味。
我伸手去开灯。
灯静静地照亮了整个病房，我走回病床边，用无动于衷的、医生的目光观察着病人。
克拉克夫人已奄奄一息了。
她一动不动地躺着：骨瘦如柴的身体使她的头显得特别大；皮肤呈暗黄色，松松地裹在嶙峋的、连毛毯也遮掩不住的骨骼上；她的右臂平伸在床边，被无情地用胶带固定在一块板上，以便能固定针头使液体滴入；左臂横放在深陷的胸部，胸口随着不均匀的呼吸一起一伏。
我伸手去触摸她放在胸口的细长手指。
冰凉冰凉的。
我忙将手移到她的手腕，去感觉那微弱的脉搏。
克拉克夫人将头稍稍转向我，微微地睁开眼。
我俯过身去，勉强听见她微弱的声音：“水。
”我从桌上拿起一杯水，用手指封着吸管的一端，滴了几滴凉凉的水到她的嘴里，以缓解她的干渴。
她没有用力去吞咽，因为力气不够。
“还要，”那干涩的声音说。
于是我们又重复了一次。
这次她终于咽了一些，并轻轻说了声：“谢谢，你。
”她虚弱得没法交谈，因此没等她要求，我就开始做她所需要的。
我像抱孩子似的把她抱起来，给她翻了个身。
除了一件浅色的病号服，她什么也没穿。
她又小又轻，像遭受了严重饥荒一样。
我打开护肤霜的瓶盖，揩了一些在手心。
为了不伤着她，我小心翼翼地把护肤霜擦在她发黄的皮肤上。
她的皮肤松松地在骨头上滑动，背上每块骨头的轮廓都能清楚地摸到。
当我把枕头放在她两腿之间时，发现它们也是冰凉的，直到把手移到她膝盖以上的部位，我才感受到血液供给生命的热度。
而后，我挪了把椅子面朝她坐在床边，握住她那只没被固定的手，此时我又一次注意到她细长的手指。
很优雅。
一时间，我突然想知道她是否有家庭，接着我发现病房里没有花，没有孩子们画的彩虹和蝴蝶，也没有卡片。
大学英语自学教程(上册)课文翻译注释及习题答案
Unit 8第一部分 Text A【课文译文】卫星通信在20世纪初，有四种远距离传送信息和接收信息的有效方式：印刷、摄影、电报和电话。
到本世纪中叶，无线电和电视作为传送声音和/或图像的方式已经得到确立。
1964年，首次通过卫星传送了东京奥林匹克运动会的节目。
为了通过卫星传送像奥运会这样的事件，先要把电视信号变成无线电波，然后把无线电波从地面站发射到轨道卫星上。
卫星接收到无线电信号并把信号传送回地球，在地球上另一个站接收电波并把电波变成电视信号。
因为任何形式的声音或视觉信息都能转变成无线电波，所以卫星不仅能传送电视广播，而且也能传递电话以及书、杂志一类的印刷物品的信息。
卫星传送信息，电脑储存信息，电视显示信息，这三者的结合将把每一家变成教育和娱乐中心。
从理论上来说，每个人都可以利用无穷数量的信息。
1974年，美国“空中教师”卫星把教育节目传送到了偏远地区的教室，这说明了通信卫星的另一个重要用途。
1975年，很多印度人看到了电视上的农业和健康节目，这是他们第一次看到电视。
卫星也显示了它如何为生活在闭塞、交通不便的地区的人们提供帮助。
例如，闭塞地区的卫生工作者能把病人伤口的图片传送给远处的医生，然后他就能根据医生的指导来治疗那个病人。
然而，通信卫星最普遍的用途是传送电话。
大部分电话经过40 000英里传送到卫星，然后再回到地球。
10年前，一个卫星能同时接收和传送的电话交谈超过33 000个，而现在仅仅一个卫星就能传送100 000个电话交谈以及数百个电视频道的节目——这些都是同步进行的。
远距离通信能使来自世界各地的信息得到快速、便利的使用，但有些人担心这有可能威胁到我们的隐私。
如果个人的信息储存在电脑里，那么它可能会很容易地通过卫星传送给任何一个付得起服务费的人。
另一个担忧是通信系统会使人们互相隔离。
如果人们能在家里购物，不离开家就能存、取款，在电视上能看到任何一部电影，得到他们所需要的信息，那么人与人之间就不会有那么多的接触。

Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways.Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success. Theopposite of modesty is arrogance or boastfulness. Modest people don’t want to talk about theirabilities or achievements. Modest people know their strengths and their worth, but choose to downplay their greatness and be humble. So modesty is the result of confidence. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) B eing shy isn’t necessarily a bad thing.It is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances, for example, in the pres ence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience. In fact, it can eve n be helpful to be a little shy. When you’re shy and keep silent, you may spend a little time observing the surroundings and people around before jumping right into the new situation.Vocabulary1. “Self-”is a prefix which means “of, to or by oneself or itself” .Words with the prefix “self-” that appear in the text: self-conscious, self-concept, self-assurance, self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-destructive, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-rejection, self-confident.1) self-conscious (worried and embarrassed about what you look like or what other people think of you)2) self-confidence (belief in one’s own ability, power, judgment, etc.; confidence in oneself)3) self-esteem (the feeling that you are someone who deserves to be liked, respected, or admired)4) self-destructive (with thoughts or actions that are counter to one’s own best interests)5) self-worth (the value you give to your life and achievements)6) self-concept (one’s conception or general idea of one’s own basic characte r and nature)7) self-awareness (realistic knowledge and judgment about oneself)8) self-assurance/self-confidence (the belief that you are able to deal with people and problems easily)2.

“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话 这兴许是一种办法。
”我将挂在我们门把手上的、装在一个塑料袋里的几本杂志拿给他们。
塑料袋上印着一条信息说 需要招聘人投递这样的袋子 这活儿既轻松又赚钱。
“轻轻松松赚大钱!” “我不在乎失不失尊严 ”大儿子回答说。
“我可以忍受 ”他的弟弟附和道。
“看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子 真使我痛心 ”我说。
孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。
我听了很高兴 便离城出差去了。
午夜时分 我已远离家门 在一家旅馆的房间里舒舒服服住了下来。

新视野大学英语课文翻译第四册Unit 1TextA艺术家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。
成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。
对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家，其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢！”他们的担心不无道理。
追求出人头地，最乐观地说也困难重重，许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒，也是几近精神崩溃。
尽管如此，希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。
享受成功的无上光荣，这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。
成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。
为了能迅速走红，代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。
他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。
他们究竟是怎么成功的，大多数人也都说不上来。
尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下来。
若表演者、画家或作家感到无聊，他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。
公众的热情消磨以后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人。
有些艺术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。
公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。
知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来，如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、欧内斯特·海明威的情节安排、罗伯特·弗罗斯特或T.S.艾略特的诗歌等。
同样，像莫奈、雷诺阿、达利这样的画家，希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。
他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革，这让他们名利双收，但也让他们付出了代价，那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。
名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。
骗局很快会被揭穿，过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。
它让你失去自我。
你必须是公众认可的那个你，而不是真实的你或是可能的你。
艺人，就像政客一样，必须常常说些违心或连自己都不完全相信的话来取悦听众。

通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。
可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。
我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。
当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。
我这才意识到公文包没在身上。
我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。
自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。
我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。
起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。
轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。
那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。
这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。
代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。
尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。
我兄弟的航班到了。
我们取了他的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。
回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了他。
到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。
当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。
原以为已丢失的公文包其实根本就没有被带进机场！它一直躺在后座的地上。
我意识到，此时此刻航空公司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐一检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。
一想到要打电话告诉他们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。
我们进屋时电话铃正响着。
接电话时，我惊呆了。
电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我们有好消息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应该到这里。

Unit 1 Personal RelationshipIn-Class Reading The Gift of Life以生命相赠1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。
在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。
2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。
3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。
医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。
他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。
显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。
4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。
快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。
而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。
5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。
孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。
医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。
然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。
6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。
此时小病人生命垂危。
然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。
过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。
7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。
“你叫什么名字？”8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。
9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。
在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。
10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。
11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。
12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。
医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。
13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。

新标准大学英语综合教程1Unit 1 Active Reading 1Diary of a fresher大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。
我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。
我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。
“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。
但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。
他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。
妈妈打来电话。
她问我是不是见到了导师。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
妈妈打电话来。
她问我有没有好好吃饭。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。

Unit 4 Career Planning职业生涯规划1 职业生涯规划不一定例行或合乎逻辑的步骤。
我们每个人都在不同的地方体重因素，可考虑某些阶段的职业规划，在不同的时间。
职业规划包括收集有关自己和了解职业，估计各种可能的结果的行动，最后，选择的替代品，我们认为有吸引力的和可行的。
2许多观察家指出，学生是不是非常有效的职业生涯规划。
他们列举的证据表明，大多数学生中选择一种十分狭隘集团的职业;多达40至百分之六十选择专业职业，而实际上只有15日至18日的百分之劳动力从事专业工作;年轻人表现出惊人的缺乏兴趣的文书，销售，服务等职业，尽管这些领域提供了许多就业机会;多达三分之一的学生无法表示任何选择职业。
3在书中决策，欧文詹尼斯和莱昂曼确定中存在的严重缺陷的方法很多人作出决定。
这些缺陷似乎与模式的人使用，以应付的问题。
第一个漏洞是自满。
谁无视人民挑战的信息作出的选择，他们表现出的自满。
人们谁采取的态度是“这不会影响我”或“这绝不会发生”使用自满为主导的模式行事。
当然，自满是适当的任何决定，其中任何事关重大，但这并不说明职业生涯的决定。
4第二个漏洞，人们应付决定是防御撤销。
当面对的是一个决定，并不能认为他们可以找到一个可以接受的解决办法，有些人保持冷静，通过诉诸一厢情愿或白日梦。
学生谁不想想影响他们的职业选择往往从事合理化（欺骗自己与自我满足，但不正确的解释，一个人的行为）或拖延（推迟或拖延）。
面临的形势可能会产生焦虑，但检查的替代品也可提供救济。
5第三个漏洞是hypervigilance 。
这发生在职业生涯决策当人们认为，没有足够的时间来寻找解决办法，他们的恐慌。
他们疯狂地寻找职业的可能性和抓住匆忙发明的解决办法，忽略了他们所选择的后果以及其他替代方案。
人谁在恐慌有时并不认为明确或逻辑。
6最好的因应行为是警惕。
警惕决策时，就会发生人认为，选择，应作出，他们可以找到一个解决办法，并且有足够的时间。
在这种情况下，学生可以进行有效的寻找替代的职业，认真评估每一个备选方案，并制定应急计划，以防一种或另一种风险出现。

Chinese Translations of Texts A(Units 1-8)参考译文第一单元与自然力量抗争课文A????人道是骄兵必败。
就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。
但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。
冰雪卫士奈拉·B·斯密斯????1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。
他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。
他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。
但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。
1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。
希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。
他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。
希特勒希望速战速决，但是，就像在他之前的拿破仑一样，他得到的是痛苦的教训。
仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。
拿破仑发起的战役????1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。
这些士兵受过良好训练，作战力强，装备精良。
这支军队被称为大军。
拿破仑对马到成功充满自信，预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。
????不久，拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。
拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。
令他吃惊的是，俄国人并不奋起抵抗。
相反，他们一路东撤，沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。
大军紧追不舍，但它的长驱直入很快由于粮草运输缓慢而停顿下来。
????到了8月，法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战，这一战役中，双方各有上万人阵亡。
可是，俄国人仍能在自己的国土上继续后撒。
拿破仑未能取得决定性的胜利。
此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。
是继续追击俄国，军队，还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克，在那儿度过将到的冬天? ????拿破仑孤注一掷，决定向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。
1812年9月7日，法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。
夜幕降临时，3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡，倒在了战场上。
现代大学英语精读5-课文翻译-1-11课
现代大学英语译文及练习答案一、Where_do_we_go_from_here我们向何处去？马丁.路德.金1．为了回答“我们向何处去”这一问题，我们现在必须明确我们的现状。
当初拟定宪法时，一个不可思议的公式规定黑人在纳税和选举权方面只是一个完整人的60%。
如今又一个匪夷所思的公式似乎规定黑人只盂交纳一个人应交税的50%，只享受一个人应享受的选举权利的50%。
对于生活中的好事，黑人大约只享有白人所享受的一半；而生活中的不愉快，黑人却要承受白人所面对的两倍。
因此，所有黑人中有一半人住着低标准的住房。
并且黑人的收入只是白人的一半。
每当审视生活中的负面经历时，黑人总是占双倍的份额。
黑人无业者是白人的两倍。
黑人婴儿的死亡率是白人的两倍，从黑人所占的总人口比率上看，在越南死亡的黑人是白人的两倍。
2．其他领域也有同样惊人的数字。
在小学，黑人比白人落后一至三年，并且他们的被白人隔离的学校的学生人均所得到的补贴比白人的学校少得多。
20个上大学的学生中，只有一个是黑人。
在职的黑人中75%的人从事低收入、单凋乏味的非技术性工作。
3．这就是我们的现状。
我们的出路在哪里?首先，我们必须维护自己的尊严和价值。
我们必须与仍压迫我们的制度抗争，从而树立崇高的不可诋毁的价值观。
我们再不能因为是自已黑人而感到羞耻。
几百年来灌输黑人是卑微的、无足轻重的，因此要唤起他们做人的尊严绝非易事。
4．甚至语义学似乎也合谋把黑色的说成足丑陋的、卑劣的。
罗杰特分类词典中与黑色相关的词有120个，其中至少60个微词匿影藏形，例如。
污渍、煤烟、狰狞的、魔鬼和恶臭的。
而与白色相关的词约有134个，它们却毫无例外都褒嘉洋溢，诸如纯洁、洁净、贞洁和纯真此类词等。
白色的(善意的)谎言总比黑色的(恶意的)谎言要好。
家中最为人所不齿的人是“黑羊”，即败家子。
奥西．戴维斯曾建议或许应重造英语语言，从而教师将不再迫不得已因教黑人孩子60种方式蔑视自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的自卑感，因教白人孩子134种方式宠爱自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的优越感。
大学英语大一上学期教材课文翻译及课后答案
大学英语大一上学期教材课文翻译及课后答案Unit 1大一新生体验:大学并非夏令营大学的第一周仿佛是夏令营，但第二周就回归现实。
一个多星期以前到校的时候，我根本没想过在一眨眼的功夫就完成从游玩到学习的转变。
我们学校有一周的入学教育，因此我根本没有上大学的感觉，直到周二早上走进地质课课堂。
在那之前，我和其他新生们一直在看电影，逛校园——真正地瞎逛。
另外，我们还去餐厅品尝各种混合花样的冰激凌。
从进教室的那一刻起我就意识到，接下来的四年我不能总看电影、吃冰激凌。
上课前买教材就成了问题。
真的，用过的书应该很便宜呀，怎么能只比新书便宜一点呢,而更让我恐惧的是一屋子陌生的面孔，且大多不是我这样傻乎乎的新生。
在高中的时候，我最喜欢开学第一天。
一想到等着我的是一年的学习确实很烦人，但我喜欢见到老朋友，跟他们一起说长道短，闲聊暑假见闻。
而在大学，一坐下来就得开始记笔记，还要想着“这堂课哪些要点得记下来,坐我旁边的是谁,我是否可以举手问问题,” 接下来就是可怕的课程大纲了，我之前从没用过。
现在我有四份不同的课程大纲，但都确切地告诉我接下来几个月要读大堆的书，要写大量的论文。
这不只是令人备感压力，简直让人绝望，要在学习上不掉队，就别想加入课外俱乐部或者参加哪怕一丁点儿社交活动。
过去四年我学习已经够努力了，但跟这比，那都不值一提。
真正令我害怕的是我不知道怎么理解别人的意图。
有个教授要我直呼其名，但又有教授告诉我在邮件里称“嗨，某某教授”太随便了，不够正式。
学长们告诉我有些教授希望学生在他们办公时间拜访他们，而有些教授则讨厌那样。
那我怎么知道别人想我怎样做呢, 面对这些新的课程内容、新的学业要求及新的教授，我不知所措。
看看我那乱糟糟的宿舍和日程表上一项项的作业，我真不敢相信我开学还不到两周，我不禁有点希望我不是在学校而还在夏令营呢。
Task 71 In a blink, he and his girl friend disappeared.2. He?ll meet an old friend here tomorrow to catch up on each other?s news.3. I intend to drop by on my uncle when I am traveling in Beijing next week.4. They were supposed to be here an hour ago.5. I can?t imagine living anywhere but China.Unit 2大学生与饮食上大学，对多数大学生来说，是第一次离家独立生活。

Unit1校园债务毫无疑问，债务是目前很多大学生都无法回避的问题。
虽然各大学从财政援助中划拨的助学贷款份额不断增加，学费增长的速度还是超过了通货膨胀的速度。
因此，如果不是靠奖学金上大学，很多学生一进校园就会背负债务。
常见的一种债务是手机话费账单。
离家后，学生可能希望定期与父母和朋友有更多联系。
如果不适当控制使用手机，学生会发现自己不知不觉就欠上了手机话费。
最明智的做法是：使用提供免费通话时间的手机并尽力不超过免费通话时间。
还有一个建议是使用充值手机消除产生高额手机债务的可能性。
对大学生来说最常见的债务来自信用卡。
即便在目前这个阶段，一方面人们将经济的停滞不前归咎于贷款方盲目向无偿还能力者发放房屋贷款，一方面大学生仍然成为信用卡发放者的主要目标群体。
银行不断地向学生提供办卡服务。
这些卡只需要达到最低信用要求即可办理。
许多信用卡公司还愿意为学生提供信用卡即时赊账业务。
大学校园里宣传信用卡的小册子因此泛滥成灾。
上大学后，学生们就有了比过去多得多的自由，这种自由使这些天真的孩子们在独立接触“真实社会”时陷入困境。
正是这种自由导致学生不加控制地使用信用卡。
反过来也使他们觉得自己可以随心所欲，却不考虑这些信用卡带来的后果。
也正因为学生刚刚获得独立，他们突然希望探索新的生活方式。
很多学生倾向于尝试不现实的生活方式，以免落伍。
为了减轻压力、放松放松、和朋友一起找找乐子，他们往往喜欢外出、参加聚会。
按照联邦政府的要求，各大学也例行公事地为获得资助的新生提供咨询，但学生们对这些忠告总是充耳不闻。
学生也许抱着这样一种想法：他们将来会变得富有，一旦找到工作他们就能清偿所有债务。
他们没有考虑到的一个严峻现实是：他们有可能在职场中无法马上找到工作。
尝试新的生活方式本身并没有什么错，但学生可能会忘记，如果一周参加好几次这类活动，花费得有多高。
如果学生一定要拥有一张信用卡，他们需确保每月能付清信用卡上的欠款，这样才不至于支付不必要的利息。
他们需要坐下来，准确计算一下自己究竟有能力支付几次这类活动而不至于透支。
否则，很多学生将面临沉重的信用卡债务。
总之，大学期间是有可能处理好债务问题的，但需要付出一点努力。
只要仔细筹划，他们的学生时代就不会受金钱问题的困扰。
1. Tom didn’t want his parents to be burdened with his tuition.2. The government is taking measures to eliminate the possibility of inflation.3. After the earthquake the Red Cross allocated a large sum of money to help the victims.4. The company incurred a heavy loss during the financial crisis.5. Taking the financial situation of the company into consideration, the manager thought the cost for each person should not exceed $100.Unit 2伊甸园工程2001年3月，“伊甸园工程”，一座位于英格兰康沃尔郡的环境中心对公众开放。
这座完工的建筑是史无前例的杰作,巨大的多穹窿温室里种植有来自全球各地的植物。
该中心已经成为颇受欢迎的旅游胜地，每天吸引着成千上万的游客。
“伊甸园工程”沿着一个深坑的侧壁而建。
该建筑包含三个生物群落区，用于展现全世界三种截然不同的气候。
湿热带生物群落区是给人印象最深刻的展区，它是一座再现热带雨林自然环境的多穹隆温室。
温暖潮湿的封闭环境中种有数以百计的树木和其他植物，它们来自南美、非洲、亚洲和澳大利亚等地区。
该穹隆建筑长787英尺(240米)，高180英尺(55米) ，最宽处的跨度为360英尺(110米)。
游客可以从湿热带生物群落区移步至暖温带生物群落区。
暖温带生物群落区是与湿热带生物群落区相同的多穹窿建筑，它里面有来自全世界各地暖温带雨林的植物。
与热带雨林一样，暖温带雨林每年也能获得大量的雨水，使其成为各种植物理想的生存环境。
但由于暖温带雨林与热带雨林相比距离赤道较远，其气候有着明显的季节变化。
“伊甸园工程”中的暖温带生物群落区拥有来自南非、地中海和加利福尼亚等暖温带雨林的各种植物。
“伊甸园工程”的最后一站是露天生物群落区，这是一片开放区域，拥有来自温带康沃尔地区以及智利、喜马拉雅山脉、亚洲和澳大利亚相似气候条件下的各种植物。
游客可以沿着天然小径蜿蜒穿过30英亩土地，了解在人类历史中起着重要作用的各种植物。
“伊甸园工程”里总共有100多万株植物，代表了5000个物种。
各生物群落区内的温度和湿度都受天然能源控制。
另外，里面还有一套由鸟类、青蛙、蜥蜴和益虫等生物控制的综合虫害管理系统。
“伊甸园工程”的创造者们并不仅仅将此处看作是一组温室。
他们中的一位托尼·肯德尔博士将其描绘为“我们探索人与植物相互依存关系的舞台……它并非一座主题公园，它内容严肃，它立意乐观，它赞美在可能的未来中善与正面的东西，它启迪我们重新审视这个世界”。
他们的目标宣言是“促进对植物、人类和资源之间重要关系的理解，进而对这种关系进行负责任的管理，引导所有人走向可持续发展的未来。
”为了达到这一目标，他们在各生物群区遍布信息亭和艺术性设置。
他们还举办很多专题讨论会和特殊活动，旨在向人们讲解环境问题。
1. Fresh air is beneficial to people’s health.2. Today, people are more and more concerned about the sustainable development of the society.3. There are thirty students in all in the classroom.4. He made an impressive speech yesterday.5. Varied opinions were expressed on the new play.Unit 3金钱的谬论在我们这个社会里普遍存在着许多有关金钱的观念，它们就如同我们祖先那些最荒谬的迷信一样很容易误导人，但是大部分人都不加质疑地接受了。
我们的父母、老师、朋友和娱乐媒体都有意无意地认同这些谬论并把它们灌输给我们。
只要认清它们，我们就迈出了摆脱其影响的第一步。
让我们看看三种主要的关于金钱的谬论。
谬论1：金钱带来快乐这种观点最显而易见，也是流传最广的，其典型的常见说法有：要是有更多的钱，我就会快乐。
金钱说了算。
有了钱，我就不用再忍受这个了。
如果我能中了彩票，所有的问题都会迎刃而解了。
谬论2：金钱衡量成功成功与快乐、权力和地位紧密相连。
金钱是衡量成功的尺度。
我感觉人们是根据我拥有的金钱来判断我是否成功。
谬论3：金钱使人堕落我们的社会以许多不易察觉的方式告诉我们，我们或者坚持道义或者拥有金钱，但两者不可兼而有之。
许多说法都暗含或表达了理想与金钱占据拳击台的两个对角这一观念。
他出卖了灵魂。
金钱是万恶之源。
富人死后升入天堂比骆驼通过针眼还要难。
那么为什么说这些观念都是骗人的呢？稍加思考，就可以捅破每一个谬论的肥皂泡。
第一个谬论，即金钱带来快乐，也许是最容易被破除的。
想想那些因婚姻破裂而痛苦不堪的皇室成员，那些被自己子女憎恨的富人以及那些要靠吸食毒品来缓解压力的电影明星吧。
同样，与之相反的观念，即金钱带来痛苦，也是错误的，因为既有钱又对生活感到心满意足的人比比皆是。
事实上，我们让自己快乐或不快乐，这与我们有多少钱无关。
金钱衡量成功这一谬论也一样容易被看穿。
虽然二者常常形影不离，但金钱本身并不能使人成功，反之亦然。
以阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为例，没人会否认他是成功者。
然而，谁又对他挣了多少钱感兴趣呢？使他成功的是他的智慧与成就。
金钱会使人堕落？如果真是如此，那么我们就有了一种好办法来判断某个人有多堕落：只要看看他有多少钱就行了。
很明显，这是荒唐的。
金钱本身并不邪恶。
同样，金钱也不会使人堕落。
堕落的人之所以堕落是因为他们不诚实，缺乏道德观念。
这些骗人的金钱谬论在我们社会中是如此的根深蒂固，以至于大部分人要花点功夫才能认识到它们并非不言而喻的真理。
如果你还不自觉地相信这些谬论，那么它们正在阻碍你获得应有的成功。
1. He is content with his present job.2. Modern technologies have freed people from heavy housework.3. Annie did all she could to keep the marriage from falling apart.4. He could no longer put up with his toothache, so he went to see a doctor.5. In management, it’s most difficult to assess an employee’s work.Unit 4广告最早为人所知的广告方式之一是户外展示，通常是绘在建筑物墙上引人注目的广告标识。
例如，研究人员已经在罗马古城和庞培古城的废墟中发现了许多这样的标识。
他们在罗马古城发现了一则房屋出租的户外广告；在庞培古城发现了画在墙上的一幅广告，向游客推荐另一小镇上的一家旅馆。
在中世纪，一种简单而有效的广告形式十分流行。
商人雇用所谓的“公告传报员”大声赞美他们的产品。
直到1445年约翰尼斯·谷登堡发明了印刷机，印刷广告才开始发挥重要作用。
这时的印刷商和随后的商人开始使用小传单来宣传他们的产品。
这些传单通常印有商人的特殊标记，并且也可以作为海报贴在墙上。
这种广告形式延续了很长一段时间。
就规模和技术而言，广告业是在美国取得了初期大发展的。
早期的美国并不发达，缺乏长途运输和通信系统，因而在全国范围内做广告行不通。
但聪明的生产商想出了通过产品目录册直接与消费者建立联系的方式。
这样，在19世纪70年代初美国出现了第一批邮购商号。
19世纪80年代，广告业的新时代开始了。
新的生产方式使产量大幅增长并降低了消费品生产商的成本。
现在产品可以在工厂里进行包装了。
此外，电报网已经投入使用，铁路网也遍布北美大陆。
在这个时期广告宣传最多的消费产品是成药。
1893年，在年广告费用超过5万美元的一百余家企业中，有半数以上都是成药生产商。
但仅过了20年，在广告大户中占多数的已不再是成药生产商，而是食品、肥皂、化妆品和汽车生产商。
