Listen and Respond1I am now a fourth-year student at college, but I can never forget my freshman year here. In general, it is a time filled with anticipation, some anxiety, and wonderful discoveries.College is a lot different from high school. Your freshman experience will definitely make an impression on you. So, what can you expect as you head off into the wonderful world of higher education?The first thing yo u’ll notice is the workload. It will be heavier than you ever experienced before. The major challenges of college work are the large amount of reading and writing, and the short deadlines. A related effect that can be brought on by the workload is doubt, frustration, and possibly loneliness. You’ll be away from the comforts and friendships your home provided for you over the previous years.During the freshman year, you’ll be making a lot of new friends. But you should continue to be yourself. Select your friends with the same care and patience you have always shown. Believe it or not, your college friendships will be among the most satisfying and long-term of your life. I t’s always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.You’ll also be on your own-you’ll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Don’t waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career. Going to college is not just to get a degree-it is to find out who you really are and what you are really made for.Task Two1.anticipation; wonderful discoveries2.heavier; reading and writing; deadlines3.most satisfying; long-term; wonderfully diverse4.anticipated mission; meaningless things5.who you are; what you are really made for2Unit 2 Learning a LanguageListen and RespondHello, I'm Alberto.I'm a student of English, French, Portuguese and Italian.I would also love to learn Chinese and German in the near future.My mother tongue is Spanish and I have a degree in Political Science.I love to learn new languages, because I think it broadens my mind.Even though I still have some difficulty with verb tenses,I'm confident that with time and practice I'll cope with them.I believe learning a new language besides your mother tongue can be useful,especially in a world where distances are shortenedand people from different countries communicate with each other more frequently.Learning a new language can be a good experience,but only if you keep in mind that nothing is obtained without some effort.In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to read a lot.It doesn't matter what you read, but that you do it.Even if you don't understand everything,your reading comprehension skill will improve remarkably.Also, if possible, watch a lot of television in that language, or listen to CDs.Maybe at first you won't understand a word,but later you'd catch on to the rhythm of the language.Good dictionaries are necessary, and books regarding vocabulary can be a plus.The Internet is also a useful tool.The language you choose to learn might seem a little difficult at first,or even totally strange, but you'll get accustomed to it. Remember that the learning process is long, and that it never ends.However, it is also highly enjoyable.3The Birthday HeartOne day I was helping my mom preparing a picnic when my sisters arrived. They said, “Happy birthday, Mom!”and gave her some presents.I was sad. I had forgotten it was my mother’s birthday, but I didn’t want her to know that I had not remembered her birthday. I had one dollar in my piggy bank. With that I was sure that I could get a present that would show my mother how much I loved her.I went to the store. When I looked around, I suddenly realized that my dollar wouldn’t buy as much as I had thought it would. Then I saw a heart made of plastic. It contained typewriter correction paper. I knew that it would show my mother how much I loved her. It was ninety-nine cents.I took the heart to the cashier and gave her my dollar. She said that I didn’t have enough money because with tax the heart cost more than a dollar.I didn’t understand sales tax. All I understood was that I couldn’t’ give the heart to my mom.I went to put the heart back and the cashier asked me if it was my mom’s birthday. I nodded. Then she said that she could help me. She put some of her own pennies in the cash register with my dollar and gave me the heart in a bag.When my mother opened the bag and pulled out the heart, she exclaimed “What a beautiful present!”“It’s just what I need.”She put me on her lap and told me that she loved the heart and she loved me.I don’t remember many of the gifts that I have given my mother, but I will always remember the heart that I gave her on that birthday.Task Two1. sad2. her mother’s birthday3. want her mother4. how much she loved her5. wouldn’t buy6. ninety-nine7. put the heart back8. cash register9. “what a beautiful present! It’s just what I need.”10. her lap4Parents and TeenagersTeenagers and adults have a difficult time communicating. Teenagers often think adults don’t understand them. Adults often think teenagers just don’t listen to anything they say. That creates conflict. People very often use “generation gap” to explain the conflict between parents and children. However, the problem of communication between parents and teenagers does not all lie in the “generation gap”. It lies mostly in implied statements that are not fully communicated between a teenage child and a parent. Here is one example. Mother says: “Please take out thetrash.” The teenager replies: “OK.” However, one hour later the mother finds the trash is still in the kitchen and so becomes a bit unhappy. “I thought I asked you to take out the trash.” But the child replies: “You didn’t say I had to do it now.” Are you familiar with this kind of conversation? In this conversation the mother feels that the teenager should know what she means, but the teenager just doesn’t. Conversations like this take place around our home every day. They cause some unhappiness but are totally normal, and can usually be solved quite soon. It is when this type of “lack of communication”gets involved with the bigger issues of teenagers that larger problems can be caused. It is more difficult to solve these larger problems and it takes the efforts of both parents and teenagers to overcome such problems.Task Two1.don’t understand them2.don’t listen to anything3.generation gap4.fully communicated5.should know what she means6.some unhappiness7.gets involved with 8.solve these larger problems 9.to overcome such problems 5Script:What is personality? How does knowledge about personality help us?First of all, let us take a look at what personality means. In general, when psychologists talk about personality, they are usually looking for things that make a person different from others or things that can explain how a person is not the same as others. However, different psychologists have different ways of explaining what personality is. They often use tests to put people into categories and compare them. For example, people who are quiet and like to spend more time at home reading and doing their own things are called introverts. “Introverts”is spelt I-N-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Others who enjoy going out and spending time with other people are called extroverts, E-X-T-R-O-V-E-R-T-S. Do you know which personality type you are? Are you an introvert or an extrovert.Second, how can knowledge about personality help us? Well, one of the ways is that by knowing how people behave and why they behave in a certain way, we can understand them better. This will help to make our relationship with them stronger. For instance, if we know that someone is an introvert, we will understand why he or she does not feel comfortable when he or she is with a big group of newly met people. We may then help this person to make friends and talk to others.Another way knowledge about personality can help us is when we want to improve ourselves. If we know what personality type we belong to and the reasons we behave the way we do, we can then try to change some of the bad things so that they can become good. In this way, we can make ourselves a better person.So, after listening to this short passage about personality, do you want to find out more about yourself?Task Two:1. explain2. quiet; spend time at home; own things; extroverts; going out and spending time with other people.3. understand; stronger4. comfortable5. improve6Xiao Wang: People are so impolite these days!Xiao Chen: What’s the matter, Xiao Wang?Xiao Wang: Well, you see, this morning I was sitting in the back of the bus, alone, by myself. A friend called so I talked on my mobile phone to him for a while.Xiao Chen:Yes? What happened?Xiao Wang: Well, two people kept giving me dirty looks. You know, this is not the first time. It happened before. And when I got off the bus, one of them told me to stop usingmy mobile phone. He said I had talked too loudly about private matters and hehad not the least interest in knowing about them. I just don’t understand thesepeople. What’s wrong with them?Xiao Chen: I see. Actually similar things have happened to me many times, too. I must say there’re rud e people everywhere these days. Like, the other day, I was sitting inthe park, smoking a cigarette. I was just sitting there, you know, enjoying the niceweather, looking at the birds, listening to music, and smoking.Xiao Wang:Yeah, what happened then?Xiao Chen: Well, when I finished my cigarette, I did what I always do when I smoke in the park. I put the cigarette butt on the sidewalk and crushed it with my shoe.Xiao Wang:Right. That’s what I usually do and there’s nothing wrong with it. This wa y it won’t be a danger to anyone.Xiao Chen: Well, this guy walking by saw me putting out my cigarette and told me that it was not very nice. He said it was bad for the environment. I just don’t get it. How canit be bad for the environment? Why are people so impolite?Xiao Wang:Well, well, I must say there are certainly rude people everywhere!Task Two1. alone2. looking at3. got off; private4. wrong5. crushed/ put out; danger6. very nice7. bad8. rude/ impolite。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit1

优等生的秘诀1根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点,懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。

2 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀,是因为他们掌握了几个基本原则。

首先,优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。

他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。

换言之,学习总是摆在娱乐之前。

另外,优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。

有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员,每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。

而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。

所有受访的学生无一例外都认为,在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。

有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好,有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容,一放学回家就开始学习。

尽管如此,所有优等生都一致认为,如果想任何时候都表现优秀,一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。

3 学生还必须学会有条理。

举个例子,有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。

他透露,他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。

还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里,以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。

优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读,其中包括快速阅读,提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。

4 对于学生们来说,合理安排时间也同样重要。

他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度,不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。

能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课,而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。

成绩优异的学生认为,他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记,供复习时使用。

有个学生透露,她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边,把课堂笔记写在另一边。

这样,就可同时复习到两方面的内容。

她还透露,她不会浪费下课铃响前的几分钟跟朋友交头接耳,准备随时冲出教室。

相反,她会利用这几分钟用两三句话概括那节课的要点,然后在下次上课前浏览这些笔记,加深印象。

新世纪大学英语综合教程1课文全文翻译

一名语言教师的个人看法我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

这些广告号称,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉·莎士比亚和查尔斯·狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号来增强吸引力。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得:如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

这种说法无疑是有几分道理的,但对学生来说不是很有帮助。

有很长一段时间,人们认为要学好一门语言,只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词(或反之亦然),那就错了。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

W. Emerson (1803–1882): R. W. Emerson,a US poet and writer who had great influence on the religious and philosophical thought of his time.W. B. Yeats⊙Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.— W. B. Yeats Interpretation:Instead of stuffing students with knowledge, real education aims at bringing out what is inside students and cultivating their potential.About W. B. Yeats (1865–1939): W. B. Yeats, an Irish writer of poems and plays, whose early work is often based on old Irish stories. He is considered one of the most important Irish writers, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.Galileo⊙You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.—GalileoInterpretation:Teaching doesn’t really help anyone, but it helps a person find out what he/she is good at.About Galileo (1564–1642): Galileo, an Italian astronomer, mathematician, and physicist whose many discoveries had a great influence on modern science. He discovered mountains and craters (月球表面的环形山) on the surface of the Moon, and his study of the changes in the appearance of Venus (金星) proved that it was moving around the Sun. He also discovered that if you drop objects of different weights from a high place, they fall at the same speed. He was punished by the inquisition (宗教法庭) because he believed that the Sun, not the Earth, was the centre of the universe.Section C Watching and Discussion▇Watch the following video clip “How to Select Your College major” and do the tasks that follow:插入视频片段:“How to Select.wmv”1.Fill in the missing words according to what you hear from the video clip.Hi, this is Laura Turner, and today I’m going to talk to you about how to select your college major. I would like to tell you that if you select something that you love and that you’re passionate about, everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to get a great job with your degree, but of course this is not completely true. However, when you’re going to college, your primary reason for going to college is to educate yourself, which means to make yourself a better person both intellectually, spiritually, mentally, all of these things.2.Discuss the topic with your group members:What are the recommended concerns in selecting a college major according to the video clip?And how did you choose your current major?▇Answers for reference:According to the video clip, the main concerns should be: first, to choose something you really enjoy; second, to choose something your school is well known for.Script:Hi, this is Laura Turner, and today I’m going to talk to you about how to select your college major. I would like to tell you that if you select something that you love and thatyou’re passionate about, everything’s going to be fine and you’re going to g et a great job with your degree, but of course this is not completely true. However, when you’re going to college, your primary reason for going to college is to educate yourself, which means tomake yourself a better person both intellectually, spiritually, mentally, all of these things. So, whenever you choose your major, I would say yes, do choose something that you enjoy,because really if you are just in it to get a degree that will get you a high-paying job andyou’re not really passionate about this and you want to be an Engineering Major justbecause you know that’s going to make you into a high earning person, that may be thewrong reason to study it because you’re going to get overwhelmed over time because adegree takes, it’s four years out of your life that you’re going to be studying this thing. There has to be something beyond money, and beyond the job that’s going to keep you interested.So I would suggest picking something that you love as well as, hopefully, it will besomething that will get you a job. Also, my other point is, pick something that your school is well known for, something in your school, the major in your school that actually has really great professors to teach you. If you have a great English Department, if you have a greatH istory Department, and you’re passionate about those things, study with professors whoare great and they can help turn a little bit of interest in a subject matter into a lifelong love of it. So good luck with choosing your major wisely.Part II Listen and RespondSection A Word BankSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas1.

It’s always exciting to discover how wonderfully diverse college relationships can be.You’ll also be on your own —you’ll be your own boss 24 hours a day, so to speak. But, remember, with freedom comes responsibility. You should always remember that you are at college with an anticipated mission. Don’t waste your time on meaningless things.During the freshman year, you may even start thinking about your future. Maybe a certain professor is especially inspiring. Perhaps your school has some great research going on. If some area of study attracts you, find out all you can about it. It might be the beginning of your lifetime career.

Straight-A students, in this respect, can be of great help by sharing their secrets in achieving academic excellence. Read the following text to find out what some of these secrets are.Secrets of Straight-A Students1 A professor of education who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students. According to him, other education experts and top students themselves, it is far more important for a student to know how to make the most of his or her innate abilities.2 The students at the top of the class attain academic excellence by mastering a fewbasic principles that others can easily learn.To begin with, top students know how to set their priorities right. Study time is never compromised for phone calls, television programmes or snacks.In other words, it is always placed above recreation. In addition, top students make a point of studying anywhere or everywhere. A top student who is also a top athlete memorises biology terms as he works out every day. Another student learns a new word every morning while brushing his teeth. Among all the students interviewed, every one agreed that study times are strictly a matter of personal preference. Some thrive at night when all is silent. Others prefer to study as soon as they come home from school when the lessons are fresh in their minds. However, all agreed that consistency is a main factor if one is to perform well at all times.3 A student must also learn to be organised. For example, a top student who is actively involved in his school band, track and field, rugby association and debate team disclosed that he keeps his things in their proper places because he simply cannot afford time-wasting searches. Another student immediately files the day’s notes in colour-coded folders so that they are available for review nearing examination time. Another technique advocated by top students is to read effectively. This includes speed-reading, improving one’s memory or retention ability, and actively asking questions that will lead to a full understanding of the author’s message.4 It is also important for students to know how to schedule their time. They must know how to pace each assignment or project according to their daily timetable and work ability so that they might not be overwhelmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timetables not only allows students more time to review and polish their work, it also prevents them from procrastinating. Top students believe that a secret of their success is the taking down of good notes during lessons and using them for revision. One student revealed that she writes notes from the text on one side of her notebook and those from her teachers’ lectures on the other side. This allows her to review both aspects of each lesson at once. The student also revealed that instead of wasting time whispering to friends and getting ready to rush out of the class just before the bell rings, she uses those few minutes to jot down a two or three-sentence summary of the lesson’s principal points. She then scans the notes to refresh her memory before the next day’s class.5 Another winning formula which teachers promote lies in a student’s ability to hand in neat work. According to one professor, the student who turns in neat work is already on the way to scoring an A.In the classroom context, it is equally important for students to speak up and ask questions. This is perhaps the best way for a student to clarify any doubts. Classroom participation also demonstrates a student’s intellectual curiosity. As a student concisely puts it, “Better grades come from better understanding.”6 The value of studying together was demonstrated in an experiment conducted at one top university. The study revealed that students who discussed homework and problems together, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another scored higher than those who laboured on their own. The experiment also illuminated the value of hypothetical tests conducted among the students and on their own. This means that students frame tentative test questions based on their notes and give each other or themselves written examinations the day before a test. Experts confirmed that students who devise possible test questions often find many of the same questions during the real examination and thus score higher.7 Another technique employed by top students is to do more than the assigned homework.A student revealed that if her teacher gives five problems, she will undertake ten. In the student’s words, “Part of learning is practising. The more you practise, the more you learn.” Last but not least, all experts and top students agree that the most important “secret” of super-achievers lies in the crucial contribution by parents. From infancy, super-achievers were taught the importance of learning by their parents. The latter set high standards for their children and held them to those standards. They encouraged their children in their studies but did not undertake the work for them. Instead of pressuring their children, these parents were always loving, gentle and took pains to explain and motivate. They impressed the lessons of responsibility on their children, andthe children delivered.(此课文没有更新,不需要配图说明。

新世纪大学英语综合教程1课文全文翻译word精品文档14页

一名语言教师的个人看法我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

这些广告号称,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉·莎士比亚和查尔斯·狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号来增强吸引力。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得:如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

这种说法无疑是有几分道理的,但对学生来说不是很有帮助。

有很长一段时间,人们认为要学好一门语言,只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词(或反之亦然),那就错了。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1课文翻译及答案Unit1前199名学生的秘密一位研究和教育老师对成绩优秀的学生做了一项重点研究,发现最聪明的学生并不总能取得高分。

根据这位教授、其他教育专家和顶尖学生自己的观点,对学生来说,知道如何充分发挥他们的潜力更为重要。

班上名列前茅的学生很优秀,因为他们掌握了几个基本原理。

首先,优等生知道如何决定他们的优先顺序。

他们从不为了打电话、看电视或吃零食而牺牲学习时间。

换句话说,学习总是先于娱乐。

此外,尖子生总是随时随地注意学习。

成绩优秀的学生也是优秀的运动员。

他每天利用户外训练时间来记忆生物学术语。

而另一个学生利用每天早上刷牙的时间来记住一个新单词所有被采访的学生,无一例外,都认为何时学习完全是个人喜好的问题。

一些人在夜深人静的时候学习得最好,而另一些人喜欢一放学回家就学习,尽管他们仍然清楚地记得他们在课堂上说过的话。

尽管如此,所有优秀的学生都同意,如果你想在任何时候都表现出色,其中一个主要因素就是坚持不懈。

学生也必须学会有条理。

例如,有一名尖子生在学校乐队、田径队、足球协会和辩论团体中非常活跃。

他透露说,他把事情整理好的原因是他不能浪费时间到处找东西。

另一个学生喜欢立即整理当天的笔记,并把它们放在标有不同颜色的文件夹里,以便在考试临近的任何时候用来复习。

优等生提倡的另一项技能是有效阅读,包括快速阅读、提高记忆力和提问以充分理解作者的意思。

对学生来说,合理安排时间同样重要。

他们必须知道如何根据他们的日常时间表和学习能力来安排他们的家庭作业和项目,这样才不会压倒手头的工作。

制定时间表不仅能让学生有更多的时间复习和完善他们的课程,还能防止他们拖延。

成绩优异的学生认为他们成功的秘诀之一是在课堂上做笔记以备复习。

一名学生透露,她在笔记本的一边做笔记,在另一边做课堂笔记。

这样,我们可以同时回顾这两个方面。

她还透露,她不会浪费上课铃响前的几分钟时间,和朋友聊天,随时准备冲出教室。

• A: Dramatic change : screaming and complaining. VS. apologetic and nice.
• No matter how great or famous or rich your grandfather is, you have to grow up on your own.
• The author puts it humorously here by saying that his father had learned a lot in those seven years. Actually it was him who had gradually changed his attitude towards his father.
My father agreed, but not without his usual warning. (Para 16)
What is the function of “not without” in this sentence?
It is double negation. It is for emphasis.
• Q: What did the people in the town of Enosburg think of Doctor Eppley? (Question 2) of Page 42)
• A: Soon the local people accepted him as one of their own. They know good people when they meet them. Around town the neighbors greeted my father as “Doc Eppley.” (Para 1)

Read the follow‎i ng text to find out what some of these secret‎s are.Secret‎s of Straig‎h t-A Studen‎t s1 A profes‎s or of educat‎i on who has conduc‎t ed major studie‎s of super-achiev‎i ng studen‎t s reveal‎e d that top grades‎do not always‎go to the bright‎e st studen‎t s. Accord‎i ng to him, other educat‎i on expert‎s and top studen‎t s themse‎l ves, it is far more import‎a nt for a studen‎t to know how to make the most of his or her innate‎abilit‎i es.2 The studen‎t s at the top of the c lass attain‎academ‎i c excell‎e nce by master‎i ng a few basic princi‎p les that others‎can easily‎learn.To begin with, top studen‎t s know how to set their priori‎t ies right. Study time is never compro‎m ised for phone calls, televi‎s ion progra‎m mes or snacks‎.In other words, it is always‎plac ed‎above recrea‎t ion. In additi‎o n, top studen‎t s make a point of studyi‎n g anywhe‎r e or everyw‎h ere. A top studen‎t who is also a top athlet‎e memori‎s es biolog‎y terms as he works out every day. Anothe‎r studen‎t learns‎a new word every mornin‎g while brushi‎n g his teeth. Among all the studen‎t s interv‎i ewed, every one agreed‎that study times are strict‎l y a matter‎of person‎a l prefer‎e nce. Some thrive‎at night when all is silent‎. Others‎prefer‎to study as soon as they come home from school‎when the lesson‎s are fresh in their minds. Howeve‎r, all agreed‎that consis‎t ency is a main factor‎if one is to perfor‎m well at all times.3 A studen‎t must also learn to be organi‎s ed. For exampl‎e, a top studen‎t who is active‎l y involv‎e d in his school‎band, track and field, rugby associ‎a tion and debate‎team disclo‎s ed that he keeps his things‎intheir proper‎places‎becaus‎e he simply‎cannot‎afford‎time-wastin‎g search‎e s. Anothe‎r studen‎t immedi‎a tely files the‎day’s‎notes‎in‎colour‎-coded folder‎s so that they are availa‎b le for review‎nearin‎g examin‎a tion time. Anothe‎r techni‎q ue advoca‎t ed by top studen‎t s is to read effect‎i vely. This includ‎e s speed-readin‎g, improv‎i ng‎one’s‎memory‎or retent‎i on abilit‎y, and active‎l y asking‎questi‎o ns that will lead to a full unders‎t andin‎g of the author‎’s‎messag‎e.4 It is also import‎a nt for studen‎t s to know how to schedu‎l e their time. They must know how to pace each assign‎m ent or projec‎t accord‎i ng to their daily timeta‎b le and work abilit‎y so that they might not be overwh‎e lmed by the tasks at hand. Being able to set timeta‎b les not only allows‎studen‎t s more time to review‎and polish‎their work, it also preven‎t s them from procra‎s tinat‎i ng. Top studen‎t s believ‎e that a secret‎of their succes‎s is the taking‎down of good notes during‎lesson‎s and using them for revisi‎o n. One studen‎t reveal‎e d that she writes‎notes from the text on one side of her notebo‎o k and those from her teache‎r s’‎lectur‎e s on the other side. This allows‎her to review‎both aspect‎s of each lesson‎at once. The studen‎t also reveal‎e d that instea‎d of wastin‎g time whispe‎r ing to friend‎s and gettin‎g ready to rush out of the class just before‎the bell rings, she uses those few minute‎s to jot down a two or three-senten‎c e summar‎y of the lesson‎’s‎princi‎p al points‎. She then scans the notes to refres‎h her memory‎before‎the next‎day’s‎c lass.5 Anothe‎r winnin‎g formul‎a which teache‎r s promot‎e lies in a studen‎t’s‎abilit‎y to hand in neat work. Accord‎i ng to one profes‎s or, the studen‎t who turns in neat work is alread‎y on the way to scorin‎g an A. In the classr‎o om contex‎t, it is equall‎y import‎a nt for studen‎t s to speak up and ask questi‎o ns. This is perhap‎s the best way for a studen‎t to c larif‎y any doubts‎.Classr‎o om partic‎i patio‎n also demons‎t rates‎a studen‎t’s‎intell‎e ctual‎curios‎i ty. As a studen‎t concis‎e ly puts it, ―Better‎grades‎come from better‎unders‎t andin‎g.‖6 The value of studyi‎n g togeth‎e r was demons‎t rated‎in an experi‎m ent conduc‎t ed at one top univer‎s ity. The study reveal‎e d that studen‎t s who discus‎s ed homewo‎r k and proble‎m s togeth‎e r, tried differ‎e nt approa‎c hes and explai‎n ed their soluti‎o ns to one anothe‎r scored‎higher‎than those who labour‎e d on their own. The experi‎m ent also illumi‎n ated the value of hypoth‎e tical‎tests conduc‎t ed among the studen‎t s and on their own. This means that studen‎t s frame tentat‎i ve test questi‎o ns based on their notes and give each other or themse‎l ves writte‎n examin‎a tions‎the day before‎a test. Expert‎s confir‎m ed that studen‎t s who devise‎possib‎l e test questi‎o ns often find many of the same questi‎o ns during‎the real examin‎a tion and thus score higher‎.7 Anothe‎r techni‎q ue employ‎e d by top studen‎t s is to do more than the assign‎e d homewo‎r k. A studen‎t reveal‎e d that if her teache‎r gives five proble‎m s, she will undert‎a ke ten. In the studen‎t’s‎words, ―Part‎of‎learni‎n g is practi‎s ing. The more you practi‎s e,‎the‎more‎you‎learn.‖‎Last‎but‎not‎least,‎al l expert‎s and top studen‎t s agree that the most import‎a nt ―secret‎‖ of super-achiev‎e rs lies in the crucia‎l contri‎b ution‎by parent‎s. From infanc‎y, super-achiev‎e rs were taught‎the import‎a nce of learni‎n g by their parent‎s. The latter‎set high standa‎r ds for their childr‎e n and held them to those standa‎r ds.

新世纪大学英语系列教材,(第二版),综合教程1,cloze,答案

第一单元-clozeHow can student do well at school ? Are straight-A students always those who are the brightest? Students are very interesting in getting answers to questions like these as achieving academic excellence is , and will always be, one of their top priorties at school.A professor of education who has recently conducted a survey on the subject revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students . When some basic principles are followed, everyone can become a top student.to begin with, study should always be the number one priority for a student. Study time is always guaranteed and should never be compromised for personal recreation such as movies, tv programs or snacks. In addition, learning to be organized is very important. Keeping everything in its place and filing class notes in order are two good examples.Speaking up in class and asking questions is another winning formula. A student can clarify any doubts by asking questions. Particpation in group study is another help. by framing tentative test questions based on class notes, students can help each other prepare for tests. Last but not least, always hand in neat work. A student who turns in nest work is already on the way to scoring an A.A student may suffer from different kinds of pressure at school, but if he follows these principles in his studies, sooner or later he will become a top student.第二单元-clozeMany of us these days are learning language a foreign language. We are interesting in learning another language because we know that knowledge of another language and culture will increase our career opportunities, broaden our horizons and enrich our life. Since learning a foreign language is of such importance, no doubt people are constantly looking for more efficient ways of language learning. Most people say the best way to learn language is to say in the country where it is spoken. It is true those who go to a native country have advantage over those who don't . But living abroad needs money, and not everyone can affort to do so. Those who don't go abroad may turn to language schools for nguage schools usually claim that they can teach student to speak the language they want to learn fluently within 3 to 6 months because they have more qualified teachers and better facilities. To a certain extent, a good teacher is indeed important in language learning, but it would be ridiculous to claim that any teacher has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. In fact, there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers,because every teacher is an individual with his / her own personality. What a student needs to remember then is to is to find out a method that best suits himself / herself.第四单元-clozeWhen I was a child, I was really proud of heaving a father who was a well-respected doctor. I beamed whenever my teachers said that I was set to become an honorableman like my father. However, all this changed when I grew into a teenager. I felt awkward that everybody around me only remembered me as Dr.Song's son. I protested and told them that I would prefer to stand on my own two feet. However, my compliments were never taken seriously and I continued to hear compliments about me, which were really meant for my father.I then grew very stubborn and even refused to call my father "Dad." Although my father forwned whenever I called him "Lao Song" my attitude towards him, as now recall, did not change until I had a car accident one day. I hit a young man's car and panicked as he threatened to beat me up when I told him no car insurance. When I got off my car and surveyed the damage, I could not help groaning.Out of fear, I told him "I'm Dr.Song's son." At this, a sign of recognition lit up his face; he smiled and forgave me. What could have been a very difficult situation turned out to be fine just because I was Dr.Song's son. How thankful I felt towards my father.第五单元-clozeWhen a person is born, he / she has a set of personalities that make him / her different from others. Psychologists believe that colors are sometimes a good way to include how a person behaves and the way he / she responds to things that are happening to him / her. They can also represent personality traits.Nonetheless, we cannot be absolutely sure about a person's characteristics by just looking at his / her preference for certain colors.Therefore, we should not be harsh and critical toward a person just because he / she likes specific color that not represent some positive traits or characteristics. Psychologists also believe that everyone can develop or change his / her personality. For example, if an individual wants to correct his / she negative traits such as his / she has to be immature behavior, he / she has to make an effort to do so. He /She has to be persistant and keep working hard to ensure that he / she can achieve his / her goal. Therefore, if a person is determined, he / she can change the traits he / she inherits from his / her parents. The important thing is to change for the better and not for the worse.第七单元-clozeBeing a good boss has never been easy for me. The most difficult part is not about work, but about dealing with relationships at the workplace. I each and every employee in my company is significant to its development, I need to give enough attention and care to everyone ang to be approachable to all. At the start of the business, I encountered difficult situations and I was unsure what the best way was to handle them. For example, when an employee made a mistake, I hesitated about whether to scold him or her. Would I appear to be an important boss to my employees if I did so?Would they continue to make mistakes if I was too lenient? Sometimes, I had to settle disputes among the employees if they did not see eye to eye with each other on some tasks. This too was difficult. Should I blame any party or should I defend anyone? How would I bring them to see their differences and find solutions without hurting each other ? Sometimes I also encountered difficultemployees who seemed to feel miserable whatever I did for them . Life has never been easy , but I have learning the ropes along the way. The essential principle is to treat the employees sincerely, appreciate their contributions to the company and reward them according. My employees are happy to have me as their boss, and are offering me all the assistance they could . They have great enthusiasm for their word and have contributed significantly to the company's development.。

研究生新世纪综合英语unit1课文Unit1Free fallingThe impact of saying goodbye and actually leaving did not hit me until the day of my departure. Its strength woke me an hour before my clock would, as for the last time missy, my golden retriever, greeted me with a big, sloppy lick. I hated it when she did that, but that day I welcomed her with open arms. I petted her with long, slow strokes, and her sad eyes gazed into mine. Her coat felt more silky than usual. Of course, I did not notice any of these qualities until that day, which made me all the more sad about leaving her.The entire day was like that: a powerful awakening of whom and what I would truly miss. I became sentimental about saying goodbye to many people I had taken for granted--- the regulars who came into the restaurant where I worked, the ones I never find time to speak with. I had to leave all of my friends and classmates I had always intended to “get to know someday.” Most importantly, I would be forced to say farewell to the ones who raised me.All at once, the glorious hype about becoming independent and free became my sole, scary reality. I began to feel the pressure of all my big talk about being a big now that day it finally had, I felt as if I did not want to go. I supposed that goes with the territory of enrolling in a university sis hours from home.Upon my decision to do so, in fact, all of my personal problems had seemed to fade. I didn’t care: I was leaving. I wanted to make it clear that I want to go--- and by god, I was ready. Then the day came, and I wondered if I was honestly readyto go.My dad and stepmom were taking me to school, but first I had to say goodbye to my mom. No one ever said divorce was easy. I met mom from brunch that morning, and she immediately began talking of my past experiences. More so, she talked a little her first year away from home--- cluttered dorm, shy roommates, some art history classes--- and she spoke with such detail and enthusiasm that I clearly saw what a lasting impression college makes. We talked then of my expectations--- what the guy on my floor would be like, how I hoped my classes would not be on opposite sides of campus, whether I’d gain weight on cafeteria food.She paused for a se cond, and then quipped,” the food won’t make you gain weight, the beer will.”I smiled. I felt relieved that mom was in a cheerful mood, rather than a maudlin one. Ironically, the sky was filled with sunshine and bright, silky clouds. Some how, I’d expecte d it to be gray and overcast. As we talked, I realized I would soon begin the long, complicated road to independence. The security I had selfishly taken for granted at home would eventually diminish into memory. Home would no longer be home, but Carbondale, illinios.When the waitress brought our bill, Mom’s mood shifted noticeably. She became quiet, even somber. I suppose for her that somehow signaled the conclusion of our last meal together, at least the last one for quiet some time. She looked down at the table pensively. Looking back now, I can see the significance that day probably hadfor my mother. As a parent, she must have been anticipating that day ever since november30,1970, and it surely challengedher emotionally.She walked me to my car, and I could feel my sadness in the pit of my stomach. The summer breeze dried my eyes, as I blinked profusely to moisten them.“Well, I guess I have to go, “ I mumbled looking into the distance. I could not believe I did not have the courage to say that directly into her eyes.“ I know, “she replied with a faint smile and then quipped. “ it’s not too late to change your mind.” She was joking, but there seemed to be some seriousness in her voice. Her smile quickly faded when I said I couldn’t.“I’m going to miss you.” She added.“ You make it sound as if you’re never see me again.”“ You could call…collect, of course.”I laughed. The implication that all money spent from then on would be my own was scary, yet funny as well.“ Don’t worried about me too much, mom.”“I’ll miss you.” She drew my close and gave me a big hug. And I assured her I’d be back sooner than she’d realize. She then told me that she loved me.“ I… love you, too.” The difficulty of saying those words overwhelmed me. I had always seen myself as someone with solid, untouchable emotions. At that moment, though, I was in a fragile, quivering state; and I could not believe I had conjured such a false image of myself.We drew apart, and I slowly climbed into my gray maxima. She did not cry, but who knows what happened when I turned the corner. I don’t think I want to know.At that time, I felt like a rookie sky diver preparing for his first plunge. The cabin door opens to reveal the extreme distance ofhis fall, which leads to either sheer excitement or eventual death. The naivete that sheltered his fear disappears at the sudden reality of the moment. By then, of course, it is much too late to turn back. The very thought that this was his idea seems absurd to him, and he feels like the only person on the face of the planet. And so he closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and jumps.Big talk大话牛皮Big shot大人物By god上帝作证More so在更大程度上如此The pit of the stomach胸口,心窝。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1课文翻译及答案Unit2

一名语言教‎师的个人看‎法威尔•皮德克罗夫‎特1 我每天都会‎在报纸上、公共汽车上‎看到各种广‎告,声称轻轻松‎松就能学好‎英语。

按照这些广‎告的说法,学生不必费‎什么力气,要说一口流‎利的英语只‎需短短3个‎月,甚至10天‎就行。

广告还常常‎提到威廉•莎士比亚和‎查尔斯•狄更斯等英‎语文学大师‎的名号进一‎步激励学生‎。

每当看到诸‎如此类的广‎告时,我真是哭笑‎不得。

如果学英语‎真像这些广‎告所说的那‎么轻松,我恐怕得另‎谋出路了,因为不需要‎那么多合格‎的英语教师‎了。

但是肯定有‎许多人相信‎这些可笑的‎噱头,不然的话这‎些广告也不‎可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢‎实惠的速成‎学习方法也‎在情理之中‎,但要用浅显‎易懂的语言‎去解释为什‎么某一方法‎比另一方法‎更有效并不‎是一件简单‎的事,而且也无需‎装模作样地‎声称有什么‎人已经找到‎了一个万能‎的适合所有‎学习环境的‎教学方法。

一些专家甚‎至认为,有多少个好‎老师就有多‎少种好的教‎学方法,因为每一个‎老师都有其‎自身的特点‎。

3 有很长一段‎时间,人们认为学‎好一门语言‎唯一的方法‎就是去使用‎那种语言的‎国家待上一‎段时间。

当然去英国‎、美国、或者澳大利‎亚等国家学‎英语的学生‎肯定比那些‎不能去的学‎生具有很大‎优势,但是很多学‎生支付不起‎那笔费用。

有些学生走‎向另一极端‎:他们认为可‎以借助词典‎在家自学。

如果你认为‎英语中的每‎一个词在另‎一语言中都‎有完全对等‎的词,那就错了,反之亦然。

新世纪大学英语综合教程1课文全文翻译一名语言教师的个人看法我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

这些广告号称,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉·莎士比亚和查尔斯·狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号来增强吸引力。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得:如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

这种说法无疑是有几分道理的,但对学生来说不是很有帮助。

有很长一段时间,人们认为要学好一门语言,只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词(或反之亦然),那就错了。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其他任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是:语言是一种交际手段,人们在母语中怎么说怎么写,用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。

因此,人们所听所读的不应该是程式化的东西,听的读的材料必须真实自然。

还有一个相关的问题值得一提:在交际时我们需要有交谈或倾听的对象。

在学习较生疏的内容时,如果有其他学生和我们在实战中一起学习和练习那些陌生的语言形式,用真实的语言去谈论真实的生活,那一定会受益匪浅。

学会去读书在我曾经任教的一个班上有许多孩子学习起来非常吃力,尤其是阅读。

因此我决定不惜任何代价消除他们对书籍的恐惧和厌恶心理,让他们能够多读些书,更勇于尝试。

开学没多久,我对孩子们说:“我要跟你们说说读书的事,也许还没有哪个老师这样对你们讲过。

今年我想要你们读许多书,你们只需要为寻求乐趣而读书,我不会去检查你们读懂了没有。

如果你读了一点儿,觉得会喜欢这本书,并愿意把它读完,这就够了。

我不会去考你们词语的意思。

”“最后,”我继续说道,“你们不要觉得读一本书就得把它读完。

先读三四十页,看看故事情节如何发展。

如果你不喜欢书中人物,或者对他们的经历不感兴趣,只管合上书,放到一边,去读另一本。

你们读的书是难还是容易、篇幅长还是篇幅短,我都不在意,只要你们喜欢就行。

另外,我会写信把我的意思告诉你们的家长,好让他们知道没有必要在家里查问或检查你们的读书情况。

”孩子们都愣住了,坐着不出声。

这真的是老师在说话吗?其中一个女孩,因为功课不好最近才转学到我们学校来,后来我发现她非常有趣、活泼、聪明,在我所有的学生中都算突出的。

我讲完后,她盯住我看了很久。

然后,她继续看着我,缓慢而严肃地问:“霍尔特先生,你说的话是真的吗?”我也同样严肃地回答:“真的,一点不假。

”显然,她打算照我说的办。

她读的第一本书是索伊斯博士写的《格林奇偷走圣诞节》,这本书对大多数三年级的学生都不算难,更不要说这个年级的孩子了。

有一阵子,她读的书都在这个难易度上。

也许她是在消除对阅读的一些困惑,而以前她没时间去做,因为老师总是催促她看这个年级“该看的书”。

她在这个班上学习了六七个星期后,我们成了好朋友。

我试探地向她建议:既然她喜欢马,而且骑马的水平还不错,她可以读一读《侠女神驹》。

我尽可能委婉地提出这个建议。

我只告诉她那是一本关于一个热爱马并常常骑马的女孩的故事;如果她不喜欢读,她可以放回书架。

她去读了,也许她觉得这本书比她先前读的书要难点,但是她读完了,而且挺喜欢。

春季的那一学期,她的表现可真的让我吃惊了。

一天,在我们的自习课上我看到她坐在课桌前看书。

我瞥了一眼书中的插图我就知道这是一本什么书了。

但是我不相信我的眼睛:“不可能吧。

”我走过去仔细一看,果然她在读《白鲸》,那版本配有罗克威尔·肯特的木刻画。

我走近她的时候,她抬起头来。

我问她:“你真的在看这本书吗?”她说,是的。

我又问:“你喜欢这本书吗?”“嗯,是的。

这本书很好。

”她答道。

“你不觉得有些地方很难吗?”我又问道。

“有啊,不过,看不懂就跳过去,挑有意思的地方看。

”她这样回答。

真正的阅读就该如此。

但是上学时,阅读不见得总是有趣或让人喜欢。

拿上一本书,钻进去,读有趣的部分,跳过不好的部分,尽可能从书中得到点收获,然后再去读其他书。

为什么非要让每个孩子读一样的书,作出同样的“理解”呢?医生的儿子我还是个婴儿的时候,我的父母亲搬到了佛蒙特州。

我那温文尔雅的父亲在一个名叫伊诺斯堡的小镇上毫不张扬地开业行医了。

很快,当地人就把他当成了自己人。

在佛蒙特州的小镇上,消息传播得很快。

人们分得清谁是好人。

邻居们都称我的父亲为埃普利医生。

我很快意识到,只要我住在伊诺斯堡镇,我就永远只是“埃普利医生的儿子”。

入学的第一天,同学们就簇拥着我,因为我是医生的儿子。

“要是你多少有点像你父亲的话,你就会是个聪明的孩子。

”我的一年级老师这么说。

我忍不住眉开眼笑。

•可是在我十几岁的时候,事情起了变化。

•我都十六岁了,邻居们还是称呼我“埃普利医生的儿子”。

他们说我长大了一定会是一个可敬又勤劳的年轻人,会像我父亲那样过着体面的生活。

每当我听到这些赞美,我都很不以为然地哼哼几声。

我不知道自己怎样才能融入我那些少年朋友的圈子。

我讨厌父亲的好名声像影子一样跟着我。

所以当陌生人问起我是不是埃普利医生的儿子时,我会带着强调的口气说:“我叫哈罗德。

我自己能管好自己的事。

”出于反叛,我开始对父亲直呼其名,不叫他“爸爸”,而叫他“萨姆”。

“你最近为什么这么犟?”有次争吵时,我父亲这样问我。

“哼,萨姆。

我想你难过了吧!”“你知道的,你叫我萨姆让我很伤心。

”我父亲大声地说。

“哦,那人人都指望我像你一样,也很让我伤心呢。

我不要完美,我只想做我自己。

”我好不容易挨完高中,总算满了十八岁。

第二年秋天我上了大学。

我选中了一所远离伊诺斯堡的学校,一个没人管我叫“埃普利医生的儿子”的地方。

在大学里,有天晚上我和一帮学生在宿舍聊起我们的生活。

我们开始谈起我们童年最讨厌的事情。

“想都不用想,”我说,“我受不了在一个每个人都拿我跟我父亲比的地方生活。

”坐在我身边的女孩皱起眉头说:“这我就不理解了。

要是有这么个令人尊敬的父亲我一定会很骄傲的。

”她的眼里噙着泪继续说,“要是有人把我叫做我父亲的孩子,那我会不惜一切地珍重这荣誉!但我不知道他在哪里。

他抛弃了我的母亲,那时我才四岁。

”大家陷入了尴尬的沉默,然后我转开了话题。

她的话我当时还听不进去。

那年寒假我回了家,心中充满了自豪感。

在大学的四个月中,我交了好些朋友。

我没有靠父亲,而是靠自己的本事赢得了众人的欢心。

回到伊诺斯堡的两个星期里,我一直都很高兴。

父亲的新车成了家里人感兴趣的话题。

“让我开出去转转。

”我说。

父亲同意了,但跟往常一样提醒我,“小心点。

”我瞪了他一眼,“萨姆,我讨厌你老把我当成个孩子。

我都上大学了。

你以为我不会开车啊?”从父亲的脸上看得出我伤了他的心,也想起每次直呼“萨姆”时他是多么不高兴。

“那去吧。

”他说。

我跳进车里,•沿路开去,•享受着佛蒙特乡间的美丽风景。

我有点心神不定。

在一个繁忙的十字路口,不知怎么地就跟我前面的车撞了个正着。

车里的妇人跳出来尖叫,“你这个白痴!你开车难道不看路吗?”我看了一眼,两辆车都被撞蹩了。

我像个犯了错的孩子一样,坐在那儿听着那妇人不停地抱怨。

“全怪你!”她尖叫道。

我无法反驳,双腿发抖,泪水在眼眶里转。

她不停地问,“你是谁?”我害怕起来,•想也没想就叫道,•“我是埃普利医生的儿子。

”我坐在那里惊呆了。

我简直不相信我自己会这么说。

几乎同时,•妇人皱起的眉头变成了似曾相识的笑容。

•“对不起。

”她答道,“我刚才不知道你是谁。

”一小时后,我开着被撞破了的车回了家。

我低着头,迈着发颤的双腿,•拖着步子走进家门。

•我解释了所发生的一切。

“受伤了吗?”他问。

“没有。

”我回答。

“那就好。

”他答道,然后转身向门口走去。

“哈罗德,抬起头来。

”他边走边说。

那晚是除夕之夜,我们全家与朋友参加了一个小型晚会庆祝新年。

午夜来临,每个人都欢呼并互相祝福。

我看到父亲在房间的另一头,我向他走去。

父亲与我很少拥抱,但我想起了白天的事,我用双臂搂着他的肩膀,很多年来第一次用他“真实的”名字来称呼他。

我说,“谢谢你,爸爸。

新年快乐!”青少年的需求小的时候,绝大多数人和父母住在一起大抵能相安无事。

但进入青少年时代,一切就起了变化。

我们大家也都知道大概会碰到一些什么困难:我们跟父母越来越疏远。

我们是即将独立的新一代。

我们即将离开我们长大成人的家庭,建立自己的小家庭。

<Para id="2">人人都要长大,但我们成长的方式各有不同。

比如说,假如我们生长在一个原始部落里,我们就会在成长的过程中学会长大成人后所需具备的技能:如何狩猎捕鱼,如何持家和养育孩子。

十几岁时就可以结婚并在我们父母家附近,我们熟知的村庄里建立家庭。

<Para id="3">我们把这种生活称作原始的生活方式,但成千上万年来人们适应了这种方式。

二十一世纪我们依然习惯这种生活方式。

人在进入文明之后的短时间内实在是没有太大的变化呀!<Para id="4">但是,进入青春期后我们就可以离家自立了吗?很多在所谓文明国家中的人并不见得能完全做到。

因为即使人的变化不大,他赖以生存的这个社会却已经发生了很大的变化,我们在离开父母的庇护前要学会的东西也越来越多。

</Para><Para id="5">想一想我们到了青春期时学到了什么?我们学会了读书和写字。

我们学会了使用数字计算,用钱买我们所需的东西。

我们也学会了使用收音机、灶具,学会了搭乘公共汽车还有火车。

<Para id="6">不过,到了青春期我们所学到的东西仍然是远远不够的。
