新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第三册Unit1TextANever,evergiveup!课文

Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was aninspiration worldwide.2 Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address t he patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!"3 Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because h is teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.4 Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures and repeated misfortunes in his lifetime. His background was certainly not glamorous. He was raised in a very poor family with only one year of formal education. He failed in business twice, suffered a nervous breakdown when his first love died suddenly and lost eight political elections. Later in life, he suffered profound grief over the tragic death of three of his four children. Yet his strong willwas the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication anddetermination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph overthe overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.5 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who "keep their eyes on the prize", those who uphold a committed and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because t hey possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals.6 After growing up on a cattle ranch without running water or electricity, Sandra Day O'Connor fought to achieve the best education possible. Consistently graduatingat the top of her class, she worked her way into Stanford Law School, where she graduated with honors. But despite all of her hard work, Sandra Day O'Connor wasstill a woman in the 1950s. Even with the prestige of her degree from Stanford, she was rejected from the entire law circuit as firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather than risk hiring a female lawyer, which was unprecedented. Y et Sandra DayO'Connor refused to give up on her dreams. Through sheer persistence she was eventually nominated and then appointed the first woman Supreme Court Justice ofthe United States of America. There, she acted as a crucial vote on issues like abortion and women's rights.7 Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success i s based upon a burning inward desire — a robust, fierce will and focus — that fuels the determination to act,to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes: "It's not how many times you fall down that matters. It's how many times youget back up that makes success!"8 Focus on becoming more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going — even when you are tired and want to slackor the odds seem too large. "Keep your eyes on the prize!" "Where there's a will, there's a way!" With hard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!Unit 1Text B Chance favors the prepared1 Les Brown and his twin brother were adopted by Mamie Brown, a kitchen worker, shortly after their birth in a poverty-stricken Miami neighborhood.2 Because of his overactive behavior and nonstop talking as a child, Les was placed in special education classes for the learning disabled all the way through high school. Upon graduation, he became a garbage collector. The prospective opportunities for— a bighis future looked slim to others, but not to Les. He had a passion, a dreamdream that he was ready to work hard for. He was destined to be a disc jockey, also known as a "DJ", one of the radio celebrities mixing music broadcasts for the whole city.3 At night he would take a radio to bed so he could indulge his dream by listening to the local DJs. He created an imaginary radio station in his tiny bedroom. A hairbrush served as his microphone as he energetically practiced speaking his masterpieces to his imaginary listeners.4 He aggravated his friends with his constant practicing. They all told him that he didn't have a chance and he would never be a DJ. They scorned him and said to stop dreaming and focus on the real world. Nonetheless, Les didn't let their negativity stop him. He kept his goals close to his heart and remained wrapped up in his own world, completely absorbed in preparing for his future, preparing to live his dream as a renowned DJ.5 One day Les decided to take the initiative and begin with this enterprise. He boldly went to the local radio station and told the station manager he understood the layout of the station and was ready to be a disc jockey.6 The manager looked dubiously at the untidy young man in overalls and a straw hat and inquired, "Do you have any expertise in broadcasting?"7 Les replied, "No sir, I don't."8 "Well, son, I'm afraid we don't have a job for you then," he responded bluntly. So, Les' first chance at success had been a complete bust.9 Les was determined. He adored his adoptive mother, Mamie Brown, and was careful with his money to try and buy her nice things. Despite everyone's discouragement, she believed in him and had taught him to pursue his goals and persist in his dreams no matter what others said.10 So, in spite of what the station manager had originally said, Les returned to the station every day for a week. His persistence was very persuasive, and the station manager finally gave in and took Les on to do small tasks — at no pay. Les brought coffee and food. He catered to their every need at work and worked overtimewhenever necessary. Eventually, his enthusiasm won their confidence and they would send Les in their Cadillac to pick up celebrities, not knowing that he didn't even have a driver's license!11 While hanging out with the station's real DJs, Les taught himself their posture and hand movements on the control panel. He stayed around the studio, soaking up whatever knowledge he could. He was disciplined; back in his bedroom at night, he faithfully practiced in anticipation of the opportunity he knew would come.12 One afternoon at work, the DJ named Rock started to feel very sick while on the air. Les was the only person around, and he realized that Rock was coughing and losing his voice. Les stayed close in case there was some way he might help alleviate his co-worker's distress. He also worried that the illness was sure to doom this broadcast.13 Finally, when the phone rang, Les grabbed it. It was the station manager, as he knew it would be.14 "Les, this is Mr. Klein. I don't think Rock can finish his program."15 "Yes," he murmured, "I know."16 "Would you call one of the other deejays to come in and take over?"17 "Yes, sir, I sure will."18 But try as he might, none of the regular DJs were available. MC Cormick and DJ Slick were both out of town for the weekend and DJ Neil was also feeling sick. It seemed that the radio station was in big trouble.19 Frantic with distress, Les called the general manager. "Mr. Klein, I can't find nobody," Les said.20 Mr. Klein then asked, "Young man, do you know how to work the controls in the studio?"21 "Yes sir," replied Les, grinning with the sudden opportunity. He didn't even blink before he called his mother and his friends. "You all go out on the front porch andturn up the radio because I'm about to come on the air!" he said.22 Les rushed into the booth, hoisted Rock onto a nearby couch, and sat down in his place. He was ready. He flipped on the microphone and eloquently rapped, "Look out! This is me, LB, Les Brown! There were none before me and there will be none after me. Therefore, that makes me the one and only. Young and single and love to mingle.Qualified to bring you satisfaction, a whole lot of action. Look out, baby, I'm your lovin' man."23 Because of his preparation, Les was ready. He had dazzled the audience and heard applause from his general manager. From that fateful beginning, Les was propelled to become an icon in broadcasting, politics, public speaking and television.。

Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.

Unit 1
Learning a Foreign Language
Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult
yet most rewarding experiences of my life.
Although at times, learning a language was me.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went,
as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.
I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes.
When I went to senior middle school,
I was eager to continue studying English;
however, my experience in senior school was very different from before.
who spoke much better than I did.
I began to feel intimidated.
So, once again, although for different reasons,
I was afraid to speak.
It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.
That was the situation until a couple of years later,

My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.
2. some money given to someone for his good doings 报酬,酬金

Words: 700
NEW WORDS
reward
vt. give sth. in return for good and valuable doings 报答,酬谢,奖励
n. 1. something as a return for good and valuable doings 报答,奖赏
Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.

选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。

这样,你不仅会变得更加博学,而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。

一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。

新视野大学英语1读写教程

新视野大学英语1读写教程《新视野大学英语1》读写教程Unit 1 绿色生活In recent years, people have become increasingly concerned about the environment. As a result, many individuals and communities have embraced the idea of leading a "green" lifestyle. This means being mindful of our daily choices and actions, and making efforts to reduce our negative impact on the planet.There are several ways that we can incorporate green habits into our lives. One of the most important steps is to reduce, reuse, and recycle. By reducing the amount of waste we produce, reusing items whenever possible, and recycling materials, we can greatly reduce the strain on our natural resources. Additionally, choosing energy-efficient appliances and using renewable sources of energy, such as solar power, can also contribute to a greener lifestyle.Another aspect of green living is being mindful of our consumption habits. This means considering the environmental impact of the products we buy and the food we eat. Choosing organic produce and locally-sourced products can help reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and the use of pesticides. Cutting down on meat consumption is another way to reduce our environmental impact, as the meat industry is one of the leading contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.In conclusion, living a green lifestyle is all about making consciouschoices that prioritize the well-being of the planet. By adopting habits such as reducing waste, using renewable energy, and being mindful of our consumption, we can all play a part in creating a more sustainable future.Unit 2 音乐的力量Music has a unique power to evoke emotions and bring people together. It is an art form that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, allowing individuals from different backgrounds to connect and communicate.One of the most powerful aspects of music is its ability to express and evoke emotions. Whether it is the joyous melodies of a symphony or the melancholic notes of a blues song, music has the power to stir deep feelings within us. It can provide solace and comfort during difficult times, or lift our spirits and energize us when we need a boost.Furthermore, music has the power to bring people together. It serves as a universal language that can unite individuals regardless of their native tongue. In concerts and music festivals, people from all walks of life gather to celebrate the magic of music. Even in everyday life, sharing a favorite song or singing together with friends can create a sense of camaraderie and foster a sense of belonging.In conclusion, music is a powerful force that has the ability to touch our hearts and connect us with others. Its ability to evokeemotions and bring people together makes it a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries.。

Unit 1Text A Never, ever give up!永不言弃!1 As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there didnot preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide.英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士,小时候在哈罗公学上学。

当时他可不是个好学生,要不是出身名门,他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。

谢天谢地,他总算从哈罗毕业了,在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。

新视野大学英语读写教程第一册课文原文unit3-4Unit 3Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningHaving ideas about a story before you read it is an important reading skill. Please listen to a very short piece of recording.Second ListeningNow listen to the recording for the second time and try to the best of your ability to answer the following questions.1. Why do you think people stared at the father and the son?2. What do you think a "good heart" is?3. What is the difference between how the son felt about his father as a youth and how he feels many years later?4. Now read the story below. How close did you come to knowing the answers before you read the whole story?A Good Heart to Lean OnMore than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled and very short, and when we walked together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. I would inwardly struggle at the unwanted attention. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his halting, mine impatient — and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."Our usual walk was to or from the subway on which he traveled to work. He went to work sick, and despite nasty weather.He almost never missed a day, and would make to the office even if others could not. A matter of pride.When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help. At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child's wagon with steel runners to the subway entrance. Once there, he would cling to the hand-rail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept free of ice. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.When I think of it now, I am amazed at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such shame and stress. And at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint. He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a "good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is. But I know the times I don't have one myself. Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. When a local baseball team found itself without a manager, he kept it going. He was a knowledgeable baseballfan and often took me to Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play. He liked to go to dances and parties, where he could have a good time just sitting and watching.On one occasion a fight broke out at a beach party, with everyone punching and shoving. He wasn't content to sit andwatch, but he couldn't stand unaided on the soft sand. In frustration he began to shout, "I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me! I'll fight anyone who will sit down with me!"Nobody did. But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive before the fight began.I now know he participated in some things through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy, he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, "You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you."Words: 694NEW WORDSleanvi. 1. rest on sth. in a listing position for support 倚;靠2. be in a listing position; bend 倾斜;倾向;偏向balancen. 1. even sharing of weight; even; equal 平衡;均衡2. condition that exists when two opposites are equal or in even lots or percents均势,平衡v. 1.

An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital. There, when he came to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son.From a worn letter located in his pocket, an emergency-room nurse learned that his son was a Marine stationed in North Carolina. Apparently there were no other relatives.Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and a request for the boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp. Because time was short — the patient was dying — the Red Cross man and an officer set out in an army vehicle. They found the young man walking through some marshes in a military exercise. He was rushed to the airport in time to catch the sole plane that might enable him to reach his dying father.It was dusk when the young Marine walked into the entrance lobby of Kings County Hospital. A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside."Your son is here," she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened. The medicine he had been given because of the pain from his heart attack made his eyes weak and he only dimly saw the young man in Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent. He extended his hand. The Marine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair, so the Marine could sit by the bed.Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young Marine sat there in the dimly-lit ward, holding the old man's hand and offering words of hope and strength. Occasionally, the nurse urged the Marine to rest for a while. He refused.Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of thehospital — the banging of an oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and breathing of other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night.It was nearly dawn when the patient died. The Marine placed the lifeless hand he had beenholding on the bed, and went to inform the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he smoked a cigarette, his first since he got to the hospital.Finally, she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her. "Who was that man?" he asked."He was your father," she answered, startled."No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life.""Why didn't you say something when I took you to him?" the nurse asked."I knew immediately there'd been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, I guessed he really needed me. So I stayed. "With that, the Marine turned and exited the hospital. Two days later a message came in from the North Carolina Marine Corps base informing the Brooklyn Red Cross that the real son was on his way to Brooklyn for his father's funeral. It turned out there had been two Marines with the same name and similar numbers in the camp. Someone in the personnel office had pulled out the wrong record.But the wrong Marine had become the right son at the righttime. And he proved, in a very human way, that there are people who care what happens to their fellow men.Words: 661NEW WORDSelderlya.

On Having a Choice
1. It was a cold winter's evening. I was having dinner with a group of friends in a cozy restaurant. Everyone seemed relaxed and content, enjoying good food and good company. Suddenly, our waiter brought over a plate of meat, which looked like a perfectly cooked steak. Immediately, one of my friends pushed her chair back and declared, "I'm a vegetarian, so I can't eat this." It was at that moment that I realized the power of having a choice.
2. As humans, we are fortunate enough to have the ability to make choices. Whether it's what we eat, what we wear, or what we do for a living, the power of choice allows us to shape our own lives. Having the freedom to decide for ourselves gives us a sense of control and empowerment. It enables us to live authentic lives true to our values and beliefs.
3. The ability to choose is especially important when it comes to our diets. Some people choose to be vegetarians or vegans for ethical reasons, while others are motivated by health concerns. In either case, the power to make this decision gives individuals the ability to live in alignment with their values. As my vegetarian friend exemplified, having the choice not to eat meat allowed her to stay true to her beliefs, even in a social setting.
4. However, having a choice is not always easy. It requires making decisions and sometimes facing the consequences of those decisions. It may involve going against societal norms or facing criticism from others. Nonetheless, having the power of choice is a privilege that should not be taken for granted. It allows us to have autonomy over our own lives and determine our own paths.
5. In a world where many people do not have the luxury of choices, it is important to recognize and appreciate this privilege. We should strive to make choices that align with our values and bring us joy and fulfillment. Whether it's choosing a career that we are passionate about or deciding to live a more sustainable lifestyle, our choices have the power to shape our lives and create a better world.
6. To some extent, the power of choice is what defines us as human beings. It sets us apart from other species and gives us the ability to shape the world in which we live. So, the next time we are faced with a decision, let's remember the privilege we have in being able to choose. Let's embrace this power and use it wisely, making choices that reflect the values and beliefs that define us.。
