新视界大学英语第2册第5单元课文翻译及练习答案
新视界大学英语综合教程第五单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading闲暇无为——抑或如何歇着无所事事几个世纪以前，人们没有多少闲暇时间，因为大家都在辛苦劳作。
在19世纪的英国，人们有了较多的空闲时间，但是维多利亚时代的人认为无所事事地歇着是一种罪。
于是，为了避免其诱惑，他们发明了足球和板球。
他们还开始从事更温和的休闲活动，如观鸟、园艺，甚至可能只是观看一项运动。
这给他们一种有事可做的满足感。
其中的一个例子是板球，这是一种规则怪异的奇特运动，比赛一连五天也没有任何进展，最后球员常常决定比赛以平局而告终。
但是所有的球员和观众都对这种毫无结果的比赛感到心满意足。
这就是我们现在称之为闲暇无为的一个很好的例子。
近年来，闲暇无为中的互动渐渐地变得更少了。
20世纪90年代，一种新的休闲方式诞生了，一些人认为躺在沙发上看电视体育节目或是DVD是他们能做的最令人激动的闲暇无为活动了。
这种人就是沙发土豆。
那么，谁想成为沙发土豆呢？实际上，许多人都想，而且都有很好的理由。
也许是一周中的休息日，也许是刚下班或放学回来，也许是疲惫不堪时想放松一下，对于沙发土豆来说，其他所有活动都太麻烦了，而懒散悠闲才是一种艺术。
怎么成为沙发土豆呢？那很容易。
找个舒适的地方坐下，比如一张很不错的软椅，或者……你知道接下来是什么……一张沙发。
别坐在土豆上。
确定你需要的所有东西都备好了：零食（尤其是炸薯片——真正的沙发土豆不会吃别的任何东西）、饮料、杂志和电视。
最重要的一个装备当然是遥控器了。
如果没有无需离开沙发就能改换频道的自由，那沙发土豆就徒有虚名了。
实际上，如果看电视不拿遥控器，就有类似于锻炼身体的危险了，这也许是应该避免的。
现在开始看电视吧。
要每十秒换一次频道，然后照此一直换下去。
尽可能快速地失去注意力，好让你保持一个沙发土豆的状态。
（记住，你的注意力持续时间和土豆的一样长。
）最后，请别人帮你做事，如再拿点吃的，或租张影碟。
然而，对他们的态度一定要好！如果态度不好，你很可能要自己做这些事了。

Reading across cultures 学生的权利1 意大利的博洛尼亚大学创办于12世纪，是欧洲最古老的大学。
在13世纪早期，大学的管理权都掌握在学生手里。
这种权力是基于他们对教师的经济控制。
那时候，大多数大学教师的教学收入都依赖从学生那里收取的学费。
教师每堂课必需吸引至少五名学生来听讲。
如果做不到，学校就会宣布他旷课，并处以一定的罚款。
2 为了保证良好的教学质量，每个学年之初，教师都要在为学生服务的市内银行预存一笔钱。
如果教师没有达到大学章程规定的标准，学生法庭就会判决从这笔存款中扣除罚款。
教师不得不同意这样的处理，因为不交罚款的教师不允许收学费，这就中断了他的收入来源。
3 教师会因各种各样的缘故而受到惩罚。
如果晚一分钟上课，或者拖堂，他就会被罚款。
如果他不能按时下课，学生按照章程必须立刻离开教室。
如果教师不能按照既定的进度讲完教学大纲规定的内容，他也要被罚款。
每年开学的时候，学生和教师共同决定教材的内容和教学的时间。
跳过难点或没有逐一重点讲解难课的教师会被罚款。
4 学生的控制权不仅仅限于课堂，还延伸到教师的私生活。
例如，假如一位教师希望在学期中间离开博洛尼亚几天，他就得事先征得学生官员的许可。
如果不按时返回，他就得缴纳罚款。
5 学校鼓励所有的学生告发不请假就缺课或以其他任何方式违规的教师。
此外，还有一个有组织的秘密告发系统。
有四名学生被秘密选举出来监视教师。
他们有义务报告诸如教学技巧拙劣、未完成教学大纲规定的教学内容或不请假就缺课之类的违规行为。
如果有两个以上的学生告发，教师就会受到惩罚。
6 从13世纪早期至14世纪中期，学生的权力在博洛尼亚持续了一百余年。
与它的起始一样，它的终结也直接与学费有关。
到了1350年，几乎所有教师都是由当地的市政厅聘用和发薪。
随着教师薪酬支付方式的改变，学生实际上就失支了对大学的控制。

So many materials and resources are in English these days.John: Tell me more about it?Yi Ling: With English we can use more computer software, get more information onthe Internet, enjoy foreign movies and TV shows.

Authority-oriented learners : Having teachers explain everything and writing everything down in the notebook.Concrete learners: Playing games, looking at pictures and talking in pairs, etc. ScriptAll right, class. Today we're going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner "types" -- the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they 'like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to learn by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, by talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it's unusual for a person to be exclusively one "type" rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Step IV Discussion: What are the effective ways of learning a foreign language.

Scan the text and detect the detail information of the text.1) Part ITrue or False1. In order to catch the attention of potential learners, advertisements usually exaggerate the fast pace and great ease of learning English. T2. To be able to read the original works by great writers can be a motivation for people to learn the language of those great writers. T3. People don’t believe what advertisements say about language learning at all. F4. Each individual teacher may have his or her unique way of teaching a language. T Sentence rearrangement1. No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.2. But it is difficult for anyone to explain in simple language why one method is better than another, and it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation.3. It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficiently and cheaply as possible.4. Some experts even argue that there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers, because every teacher is an individual with his own personality.Key: 3-2-4-1Questions and answerQ 1 What do advertisements for English learning always claim?It is easy to learn English; it doesn’t take much time; it doesn’t take much effort.Q 2 Why do those advertisements also refer to famous writers like William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens?Both they were great writers and are considered ad great masters of the English language. The advertisers intend to use the two British writers to encourage students to join them in learning English so that they will be able to enjoy works by these great writers in the original.Q 3 Wh at is the writer’s response to such advertisements?It’s impossible to learn English well in a short time; many people must believe these ads.SkimmingQ 4 Does the author feel satisfied with the fact that every teacher has his or her own way of teaching English?No. The author recognizes the fact but does not feel happy about it because he thinks simply pointing out the fact does not help students much.If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed.Q 5 What is the author’s profession?He must be an English teacher whose job is to train qualified English teachers.Q 6 What is meant by “every teacher is an individual with his own personality”?It means that different teachers have different personalities and, therefore, a teacher may have his or her own way of teaching English.Q 7 If you all feel that your teacher’s way of teaching is good and acceptable, does it mean that everyone in your class can learn English well enough?No. The reason is simple. Each student is an individual with his or her own personality. That is why the teach should attend to / satisfy / meet the individual needs of his or her students.No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.Q 8 What can we learn from the expression “This is true to a certain extent, but …”? We can see the author doesn’t totally agree with the previous statement.Q 9 Then, what, in the author’s opinion, is helpful to students?Students should have some good methods in learning English.2) Part IITrue or falseThe only way to learn a language well is to go and live in a country where it is spoken. FQuestions and answerQ 1 What are the two extremes concerning the beliefs of language learning?On one hand, some believe that the only way to learn a foreign language is to spend a great deal of time in the target country; on the other hand, some learners claim that they can master a foreign language just by self-study with only the help ofdictionaries.Q 2 Could you give some examples to show that “it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa”?One example is that the English word “aunt”may refer to 姑母，姨母，舅母，婶母，伯母，etc. Another case in point is that in Chinese we have “mantou”(馒头）which has no precise equivalent in English, though we can paraphrase it as “steamed bread”.3) Part IIITrue or falseLearning a language is just like how a parrot imitates a human being. FQuestions and answerWhat would teachers who believe in behaviorist psychology encourage students to do in the language learning context? Behaviorists believe that language learning is a kind of habit formation and they assume that people learn things very much like parrots and chimpanzees. So teacherswho believe in behaviorist psychology would ask students to repeat phrases and do mechanical exercises by imitation.4) (Part IV)Questions and answerQ 1 What is the author’s opinion about lea rning a new language?The author believes that no one can learn a new language well enough unless he or she is interested in it. He also thinks that the way of learning to speak and write in another language is probably similar to the way of learning one’s mother tongue.Q 2 What does the writer emphasize towards the end of this essay?He emphasizes the importance of group work in learning a new language.Q 3 Why does the writer repeat the word “real” in the last sentence?He wants to emphasize the idea th at language learning should be based on “real situations” in “real life” and the language we learn should be “real language”.5)Summary of the textDirection: Complete the following passage with words chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given. (Page 28) Step IV.

Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human
face.
— Victor Hugo
Click Picture
Interpretation:
When we feel disappointed, sad, lonely or miserable, we tend to feel as if we were living in winter. But laughter is a good medicine and it can work miracles. If we make a conscious effort to laugh, we will soon find that we are in a better mood. Here, Victor Hugo tells us, in a humorous way, the importance of being optimistic in times of adversity.

新世纪大学英语综合教程2unit2课文详解
新世纪大学英语综合教程2unit2课文详解假如给我三天光明我们都读过一些扣人心弦的故事，主人公将不久于人世，长则1年，短则24小时。
而我们总是很感兴趣，这个即将辞世的人会如何度过他最后的时日。
当然，我指的是拥有选择权利的自由人，不是那些活动范围受到严格限制的死囚。
这一类故事会促使我们思考，在类似的处境下，我们自己会做些什么？身为生命有限的人类，我们会把什么样的事件、经历、联想，塞进这最后的时光里？回首往事，我们又会有哪些快乐和遗憾呢有时我想，把每天都当作生命的最后一天来度过，会是一个很好的原则。
这样的态度将更能凸显人生的价值。
每一天我们都会怀着柔情、充满活力、心存感激，而这些，在来日方长时却常被我们所忽视。
当然，也有一些人会奉行享乐主义——吃喝玩乐，但是绝大多数人在得知死期将至时都会更加珍惜生命。
我们大多数人都不珍惜生命。
我们知道有一天自己定会死去，但是总觉得这一天很遥远。
我们身体健康时，死亡是完全无法想象的，我们很少会加以考虑。
日复一日，没有尽头。
所以我们忙于琐事，几乎不曾意识到自己对生活的态度有多么冷漠。
在运用所有的感官时我们的态度恐怕同样冷漠。
只有聋人才珍惜听力，只有盲者才知道能见光明的幸运。
对于那些成年后才失明失聪的人来说尤其如此。
但是那些听力或视力从未遭受损失的人却很少充分利用这些幸运的能力。
他们眼睛看见的、耳朵听到的，都是模糊的，不专心，也不带感激。
这个道理，就是常说的失去才懂得珍惜，生病才知健康可贵。
我常想，如果每一个人在刚成年时，有几天突然既盲又聋，也不失为一件幸事。
黑暗会令他更感激光明；寂静会教他领会声音的乐趣。
有时我会试探视力正常的朋友，问他们看见了什么。
最近，一位非常要好的朋友来看我，她刚刚在树林里走了很长时间，我问她看见了什么。
“没什么，”她回答说。
我本应觉得难以置信，不过我早已习惯类似回答，因为很久以前我就知道视力正常的人看到的东西很少。
我问自己，在树林里散步一个小时，看不到任何值得注意的东西，这怎么可能呢？我看不见东西，只凭触摸，却也能发现数以百计的有趣的东西。

Reading across cultures学生的权利1意大利的博洛尼亚大学创办于12世纪，是欧洲最古老的大学。
在13世纪早期，大学的管理权都掌握在学生手里。
这种权力是基于他们对教师的经济控制。
那时候，大多数大学教师的教学收入都依赖从学生那里收取的学费。
教师每堂课必需吸引至少五名学生来听讲。
如果做不到，学校就会宣布他旷课，并处以一定的罚款。
2为了保证良好的教学质量，每个学年之初，教师都要在为学生服务的市内银行预存一笔钱。
如果教师没有达到大学章程规定的标准，学生法庭就会判决从这笔存款中扣除罚款。
教师不得不同意这样的处理，因为不交罚款的教师不允许收学费，这就中断了他的收入来源。
3教师会因各种各样的缘故而受到惩罚。
如果晚一分钟上课，或者拖堂，他就会被罚款。
如果他不能按时下课，学生按照章程必须立刻离开教室。
如果教师不能按照既定的进度讲完教学大纲规定的内容，他也要被罚款。
每年开学的时候，学生和教师共同决定教材的内容和教学的时间。
跳过难点或没有逐一重点讲解难课的教师会被罚款。
4学生的控制权不仅仅限于课堂，还延伸到教师的私生活。
例如，假如一位教师希望在学期中间离开博洛尼亚几天，他就得事先征得学生官员的许可。
如果不按时返回，他就得缴纳罚款。
5学校鼓励所有的学生告发不请假就缺课或以其他任何方式违规的教师。
此外，还有一个有组织的秘密告发系统。
有四名学生被秘密选举出来监视教师。
他们有义务报告诸如教学技巧拙劣、未完成教学大纲规定的教学内容或不请假就缺课之类的违规行为。
如果有两个以上的学生告发，教师就会受到惩罚。
6从13世纪早期至14世纪中期，学生的权力在博洛尼亚持续了一百余年。
与它的起始一样，它的终结也直接与学费有关。
到了1350年，几乎所有教师都是由当地的市政厅聘用和发薪。
随着教师薪酬支付方式的改变，学生实际上就失支了对大学的控制。

新世纪大学英语(第二版)综合课程2-unit1课文翻译和课后答案
陌生人的善意迈克·麦金太尔一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的，我想。
再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。
