Y ou might be somewhat scared. Part of your nervousness is that you don‟t know what to expect academically and socially. At times, your experience may be painful, especially at the beginning. In this unit, we are going to read two texts. Text A offers some tips on how to survive the first year in college. Text B tells about a successful person‟s Harvard experience.Teaching ObjectivesBy learning this unit, students will be able to grasp the main idea and structure of the texts, master the key language points, new words, grammatical structures and translation skills. And students will also be able to improve their oral communication skills and reading competence through performing the relevant tasks.Writing Focus in this unit looks at how to achieve sentence emphasis with different sentence types: simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence. Through learning this part, students will be able to construct correct sentences of different types.Look at the picture and discuss with your partner the following questions.Lead-in1.

Unfortunately, the new freedom can lead to behaviors that could cause students to face failing grades, or even expulsion from school. With a little knowledge under their belts, new students can be aware of the most common hazards and successfully see graduation day.The majority of college freshmen are eighteen years old. Inexperience, combined with the newfound freedom of being recognized as legal adults, can have consequences many students do not notice until it is too late. After twelve years of going to school for six to eight hours every weekday, the relative freedom of the college class schedule is a new concept.

Some students【Script】mistakenly believe they can skip the lecture classes whenever they want and still acquire a passing grade.Parties are a necessary part of college and university life. Whether the students live in the dorms or have off campus housing, a party is always nearby. If a student chooses to party all the time, ignoring their schoolwork, their grades will steadily fall until it is too late.Hobbies such as computer gaming can be just as dangerous as the campus parties. Students can become so obsessed with their game-world, that they loose touch with their scholastic responsibilities.Take college time to gain experience and learn some life lessons.

21世纪大学英语读写译第一次U1~U5译文
Unit 1 Text A College:How to Survive the First Y ear对于许多即将迈入大学校门的学生而言，大学生活似乎令人恐惧。
有些学生对远离家乡感到忧虑不安，有些对高昂的学费一筹莫展，多数则担心自己不能很好地完成学业。
以下十个小忠告不仅能帮助你顺利地度过大学第一年，或任何一年，而且能使你茁壮成长。
第一，参加所有的入学教育的活动。
是的，没错——的确有必要参加所有的入学教育的活动。
你对学校的规章制度越是熟悉，你的表现就会越发出色。
有了对校园生活方方面面的彻底了解——或者至少是那些从活动中所能搜集到的诸多信息的了解，那么，当层出不穷的问题出现时，你便能从容应对。
第二，要有条不紊。
上中学时，老师会引领学生完成作业，告知他们何时该交出作业。
然而，上了大学，教授布置作业，便期望你如期做好准备。
他们没有太多耐心倾听那些“我不知何时该交作业”之类的辩解。
因此，做你该做的——诸如买一个电子记事本，计划制订本，或者一个大大的挂在墙上的日历——无论如何，要做到有条不紊。
第三，有规律地学习。
貌似简单，可是，这是成功必不可少的组成部分。
除了有规律地学习之外，你还应当找一个理想的学习场所，无论是图书馆还是寝室里一个安静的角落，适合即可。
与其他很多事情一样，说到学习时间，质量胜于数量。
第四，准时上课。
迟到，或者不去上课的后果是什么？落后于其他学生，不能完成作业，遗漏课堂笔记，并且常常给教授留下“我不在乎”的印象。
通常，逃掉大清早的课睡个懒觉，或者干脆逃掉所有的课很具诱惑力——务必抵制住这种诱惑。
准时上所有的课，使之成为头等大事。
以后，你的成绩会感激你的所为。
第五，在适当的时候，约见教授。
约见教授不仅是为了问有关作业的问题，而且也是为了了解他们。
记住，与教授保持良好的个人关系益处多多，尤其是当你在学期中遇到一些意想不到的障碍时。
教授安排办公时间，其唯一目的就是与学生会面——利用好那段时间。
第六，结识你的学业顾问。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第一册Reading Aloud及翻译Unit 1Reading Aloud:How do A students like these do it? Brains aren't the only answer. The most gifted students do not necessarily perform best in exams. Knowing how to make the most of one's abilities counts for much more.Hard work isn't the whole story either. Some of these high-achieving students actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates. The students at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can easily learn. Here, according to education experts and students themselves, are the secrets of A students.Translation: 像他们这样的优等生是如何做到这一点的呢？脑子好使并不是唯一的答案。
最有天赋的学生未必在考试中取得最好的成绩。
懂得如何充分利用自己的才能要重要得多。
学习刻苦也不能说明全部问题。
在这些成绩优秀的学生中，有些人投入的时间其实比那些分数低的同学还少。
班级中拔尖学生的成功之道在于他们掌握了一些基本的技巧，这些技巧其他人也能很容易地学到。
根据教育专家和学生们自己的叙述，优等生成功的奥秘有以下几点。

21世纪读写教程unit1~8原文及翻译
unit1、Winston Churchill—His Other LifeMy father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrouscircumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he had been deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when themission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately: He was removed from the Admiralty and lost his position of political influence.我的父亲温斯顿丘吉尔是在40 几岁开始迷恋上绘画的，当时他正身处逆境。
1915 年，作为海军大臣，他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。
原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的，但它却失败了，人员伤亡惨重，为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价：他被免去了海军部的职务，失去了显赫的政治地位。
Overwhelmed by the disaster — "I thought he would die of grief," said his wife, Clementine — he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, "The muse of painting came to my rescue!"我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

21世纪英语读写教程翻译
Unit 1Text AA common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.But in my sophomore year, something beautiful and exciting happened. Cupid aimed his arrow and struck me right in the heart. All at once, I enjoyed going to school, if only to gaze at the lovely face in English II.My princess sat near the pencil sharpener, and that year I ground up enough pencils to fuel a campfire. Alas, Debbie was far beyond my wildest dreams. We were separated not only by five rows of desks, but by about 50 I.Q. points. She was the top student in English II, the apple of Mrs. Larrivee's eye.Occasionally, Debbie would catch me staring at her, and she would flash a smile that radiated intelligence and quickened my heartbeat. It was a smile that signaled hope and made me temporarily forget the intellectual gulf that separated us.I schemed desperately to bridge that gulf. And one day, as I was passing the supermarket, an idea came to me. A sign in the window announced that the store was offering the first volume of a set of encyclopedias at the special price of 29 cents. The remaining volumes would cost $2.49 each.I purchased Volume I —Aardvark to Asteroid —and began my venture into the world of knowledge. I would henceforth become a seeker of facts. I would become Chief Brain in English II and sweep my princess off her feet with a surge of erudition. I had it all planned.My first opportunity came one day in the cafeteria line. I looked behind me and there she was. "Hi," she said.After a pause, I wet my lips and said, "Know where anchovies come from?"She seemed surprised. "No, I don't."I breathed a sigh of relief. "The anchovy lives in salt water and is rarely found in fresh water." I had to talk fast, so that I could get all the facts in before we reached the cash register. "Fishermen catch anchovies in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast near Spain and Portugal." "How fascinating," said Debbie, shaking her head in disbelief. It was obvious that I had made quite an impression.A few days later, during a fire drill, I casually went up to her and asked, "Ever been to the Aleutian Islands?""Never have," she replied."Might be a nice place to visit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there," I said."Why not?" said Debbie, playing right into my hands."Well, the climate is forbidding. There are no trees on any of the 100 or more islands in the group. The ground is rocky and very little plant life can grow on it.""I don't think I'd even care to visit," she said.The fire drill was over and we began to file into the building, so I had to step it up to get thenatives in. "The Aleuts are short and sturdy and have dark skin and black hair. They live on fish, and they trap blue foxes and seals for their valuable fur."Debbie's eyes widened in amazement.One day I was browsing through the library. I spotted Debbie sitting at a table, absorbed in a crossword puzzle. She was frowning, apparently stumped on a word. I leaned over and asked if I could help."Four-letter word for Oriental female servant," Debbie said."Try amah," I said, quick as a flash.Debbie filled in the blanks, then turned to stare at me in amazement. "I don't believe it," she said. "I just don't believe it."And so it went, that glorious, joyous, romantic sophomore year. Debbie seemed to relish our little conversations and hung on my every word. Naturally, the more I read, the more my confidence grew.In the classroom, too, I was gradually making my presence felt. One day, during a discussion of Coleridge's "The Ancient Mariner", we came across the word albatross."Can anyone tell us what an albatross is?" asked Mrs. Larrivee.My hand shot up. "The albatross is a large bird that lives mostly in the ocean regions below the equator, but may be found in the north Pacific as well. The albatross measures as long as four feet and has the greatest wingspread of any bird. It feeds on fish and shellfish. The albatross has an enormous appetite, and when it's full it has trouble getting into the air again."There was a long silence in the room. Mrs. Larrivee couldn't quite believe what she had just heard.I sneaked a look at Debbie and gave her a big wink. She beamed proudly and winked back.What I failed to perceive was that Debbie all this while was going steady with a junior from a neighboring school — a basketball player with a C+ average. The revelation hit me hard, and for a while I felt like forgetting everything I had learned. I had saved enough money to buy Volume II — Asthma to Bullfinch — but was strongly tempted to invest in a basketball instead.I felt not only hurt, but betrayed. Like Agamemnon, but with less drastic consequences, thank God. In time I recovered from my wounds. The next year Debbie moved from the neighborhood and transferred to another school. Soon she became no more than a memory.Although the original incentive was gone, I continued poring over the encyclopedias, as well as an increasing number of other books. Having tasted of the wine of knowledge, I could not now alter my course. For:"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing:Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."So wrote Alexander Pope, Volume XIV — Paprika to Pterodactyl.(1,034 words)You're on the Titanic II. It has just hit an iceberg and is sinking. And, as last time, there are not enough lifeboats. The captain shouts, "Women and children first!" But this time, another voice is heard: "Why women?"Why, indeed? Part of the charm of the successful movie Titanic are the period costumes, the period extravagance, and the period prejudices. An audience can enjoy these at a distance. Oddly,however, of all the period attitudes in the film, the old maritime tradition of "women and children first" enjoys total acceptance by modern audiences. Listen to the audience boo at the bad guys who try to sneak on the lifeboats with — or ahead of — the ladies.But is not grouping women with children a raging anachronism? Should not any self-respecting modern person, let alone feminist, object to it as insulting to women?Yet its usage is as common today as it was in 1912. Consider these examples taken almost at random from recent newspapers:"The invaders gunned down the Indians, most of them women and children...""As many as 200 civilians, most of them women and children, were killed...""At the massacre in Ahmici 103 Muslims, including 33 women and children, were killed..."At a time when women fly combat aircraft and run multi-national corporations, how can one not wince when adult women are routinely classed with children? In Ahmici, it seems, 70 adult men were killed. And how many adult women? Not clear. When things get serious, when blood starts to flow or ships start to sink, you'll find them with the children.Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence. They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin). That's why we grant them special protection. In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands. And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.The phrase "women and children" attributes to women the same dependence and moral simplicity we find in five-year-olds. Such an attitude perhaps made sense in an era dominated by male privilege. Given the disabilities attached to womanhood in 1912, it was only fair that a new standard of gender equality not suddenly be proclaimed just as lifeboat seats were being handed out. That deference — a somewhat more urgent variation on giving up your seat on the bus to a woman —complemented and perhaps to some extent compensated for the legal and social constraints placed on women at the time.But in our era of extensive social restructuring to grant women equality in education, in employment, in government, in athletics, what entitles women to the privileges —and reduces them to the status — of children?Evolutionary psychologists might say that ladies-to-the-lifeboats is an instinct that developed to perpetuate the species: Women are indispensable child-bearers. You can repopulate a village if the women survive and only a few of the men, but not if the men survive and only a few of the women. Women being more precious, biologically speaking, than men, evolution has conditioned us to give them the kind of life-protecting deference we give to that other seed of the future: kids.The problem with this kind of logic, however, is its depressing reductionism. It's like a serious version of the geneticist's old joke that a chicken is just an egg's way of making another egg. But humans are more than just egg-layers. And traditional courtesies are more than just disguised survival strategies. So why do we say "women and children"?Perhaps it's really "women for children." The most basic parental bond is maternal. Equal parenting is great, but women, from breast to cradle to reassuring hug, can nurture in ways that men cannot. And thus, because we value children, women should go second. The children need them.But kiddie-centrism gets you only so far. What if there are no children on board? You are on theTitanic III, and this time it's a singles cruise. No kids, no parents. Now: Iceberg! Lifeboats! Action! Here's my scenario. The men, out of sheer irrational heroism, should let the women go first. And the women, out of sheer feminist self-respect, should refuse.Result? Stalemate. How does this movie end? How should it end? Hurry, the ship's going down. (759 words)The Sense of WonderRachel CarsonA child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that, for most of us, that clear-eyed vision — that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring — is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the angels who are supposed to preside over all children, I would ask that their gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life.If children are to keep alive their natural sense of wonder without any such gift from the angels, they need the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with the child the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Parents often feel inadequate when confronted on the one hand with the eager, sensitive mind of a child and on the other with a world of complex physical nature. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, "How can I possibly teach my child about nature — why, I don't even know one bird from another!"I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused — a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love — then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information. It is more important to pave the way for children's desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.Even if you feel you have little knowledge of nature at your disposal, there is still much you can do for your child. Wherever you are and whatever your resources, you can still look up at the sky — its dawn and evening beauties, its moving clouds, its stars by night. You can listen to the wind, whether it blows with majestic voice through a forest or sings a many-voiced chorus around the corners of your apartment building, and in the listening, you can gain magical release for your thoughts. You can still feel the rain on your face and think of its long journey from sea to air to earth, and wonder at the mysteries of natural selection embodied in the perfume and flavour of a fruit. Even if you are a city dweller, you can find some place, perhaps a park or a golf course, where you can observe the mysterious migrations of the birds and the changing seasons. And with your child you can ponder the mystery of a growing seed,even if it's just one planted in a pot of earth in the kitchen window.Exploring nature with your child is largely a matter of being open to what lies all around you. It is learning again to use your eyes, ears, nose and fingertips, opening up the disused channels of your senses. For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?"What is the value of preserving and strengthening this sense of awe and wonder, this recognition of something beyond the boundaries of human existence? Is the exploration of the natural world just a pleasant way to pass the golden hours of childhood or is there something deeper?I am sure there is something much deeper, something lasting and significant. Those who dwell, as scientists or laypeople, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life. Whatever the problems or concerns of their personal lives, their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner satisfaction and to renewed excitement in living. Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.I like to remember the distinguished Swedish oceanographer, Otto Pettersson, who died a few years ago at the age of ninety-three, in full possession of his keen mental powers. His son has related in a recent book how intensely his father enjoyed every new experience, every new discovery concerning the world about him."He was an incurable romantic," the son wrote, "intensely in love with life and with the mysteries of the universe." When he realized he had not much longer to enjoy the earthly scene, Otto Pettersson said to his son: "What will sustain me in my last moments is an infinite curiosity as to what is to follow."(883 words)College PressuresWilliam ZinsserI am master of Branford College at Yale. I live on the campus and know the students well. (We have 485 of them.) I listen to their hopes and fears —and also to their stereo music and their piercing cries in the dead of night ("Does anybody care?"). They come to me to ask how to get through the rest of their lives.Mainly I try to remind them that the road ahead is a long one and that it will have more unexpected turns than they think. There will be plenty of time to change jobs, change careers, change whole attitudes and approaches. They don't want to hear such news. They want a map —right now —that they can follow directly to career security, financial security, social security and, presumably, a prepaid grave.What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future. I wishthem a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.My wish, of course, is naive. One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail. Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media —the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive —and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It's easy to look around for bad guys — to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no bad guys, only victims.Today it is not unusual for a student, even one who works part time at college and full time during the summer, to have accumulated $5,000 in loans after four years —loans that the student must start to repay within one year after graduation (and incidentally, not all these loans are low-interest, as many non-students believe). Encouraged at the commencement ceremony to go forth into the world, students are already behind as they go forth. How can they not feel under pressure throughout college to prepare for this day of reckoning? Women at Yale are under even more pressure than men to justify their expensive education to themselves, their parents, and society. For although they leave college superbly equipped to bring fresh leadership to traditionally male jobs, society hasn't yet caught up with this fact.Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined. I see students taking premedical courses with joyless determination. They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. It saddens me because I know them in other corners of their life as cheerful people."Do you want to go to medical school?" I ask them."I guess so," they say, without conviction, or, "Not really.""Then why are you going?""My parents want me to be a doctor. They're paying all this money and..."Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin from the very start of freshman year. "I had a freshman student I'll call Linda," one instructor told me, "who came in and said she was under terrible pressure because her roommate, Barbara, was much brighter and studied all the time. I couldn't tell her that Barbara had come in two hours earlier to say the same thing about Linda."The story is almost funny — except that it's not. It's a symptom of all the pressures put together. When every student thinks every other student is working harder and doing better, the only solution is to study harder still. I see students going off to the library every night after dinner and coming back when it closes at midnight. I wish they could sometimes forget about their peers and go to a movie. I hear the rattling of typewriters in the hours before dawn. I see the tension in their eyes when exams are approaching and papers are due: "Will I get everything done?"Probably they won't. They will get sick. They will sleep. They will oversleep. They will bug out.I've painted too grim a portrait of today's students, making them seem too solemn. That's only half of their story; the other half is that these students are nice people, and easy to like. They're quick to laugh and to offer friendship. They're more considerate of one another than any student generation I've ever known. If I've described them primarily as driven creatures who largely ignore the joyful side of life, it's because that's where the problem is — not only at Yale but throughout American education. It's why I think we should all be worried about the values that are nurturing a generation so fearful of risk and so goal-obsessed at such an early age.I tell students that there is no one "right" way to get ahead — that each of them is a different person, starting from a different point and bound for a different destination. I tell them that change is healthy and that people don't have to fit into pre-arranged slots. One of my ways of telling them is to invite men and women who have achieved success outside the academic world to come and talk informally with my students during the year. I invite heads of companies, editors of magazines, politicians, Broadway producers, artists, writers, economists, photographers, scientists, historians — a mixed bag of achievers.I ask them to say a few words about how they got started. The students always assume that they started in their present profession and knew all along that it was what they wanted to do. But in fact, most of them got where they are by a circuitous route, after many side trips. The students are startled. They can hardly conceive of a career that was not preplanned. They can hardly imagine allowing the hand of God or chance to lead them down some unforeseen trail.(1069 words)The ABCs of the U.S.A.: America Seen with European EyesMichael DobbsAmerica can be a strange experience for a foreigner. My wife and I arrived in the United States in January after seven years overseas — four in France, three in Poland. From the jumble of first impressions, we compiled an A-to-Z explanation of why America can be such a foreign country to those who arrive here from Europe.I should explain at the outset that I am from Britain, but my Florida-born wife Lisa is as American as apple pie. In our list, however, A doesn't stand for apple pie. It stands for:Ambition. In the Old World, people are taught to hide it. Here it's quite proper to announce that you're after the boss's job or want to make a million dollars by the age of 30.Breakfast. The American habit of conducting business at breakfast has reached Europe, but I doubt it will ever really catch on. In France and Britain, breakfast is a family affair. Here, it's become part of the power game.Credit Cards. You really can't leave home without them. It's interesting, and somewhat frustrating, to discover that bad credit is better than no credit at all: I was refused a VISA card on the grounds that I didn't have a credit profile.Dreams. The American Dream is still very much alive. Dreaming great dreams is what keeps American society going — from the waitress who wants to become a car dealer to the street kid who wants to become a basketball star. Europeans dream dreams too, but don't seem to believe in them so much.Exercise. A couple of years ago I came to Washington with some French journalists. As our bus passed a health club on the way to the hotel, the French visitors cheered at the sight of body-conscious Americans bending, stretching and leaping around. America's obsession with physical fitness really amuses — and puzzles — Europeans. First names. In Europe, people progress in a natural and orderly way from the use of last names to the use of first names. Here, it's first names at first sight. This can cause confusion for Europeans. With everyone on a first-name basis, how can you tell your acquaintances from your friends?Gadgets. These can be addictive. It's difficult to imagine now how we survived for so long without automatic ice machines and microwave ovens.Hardware Stores. If I were in charge of arranging the programs of visiting delegations from lessdeveloped countries, I'd include a compulsory visit to a hardware store. These temples of American capitalism reveal a whole range of American values, from the do-it-yourself pioneer spirit through a love of comfort that absolutely astonishes most foreigners.Insurance. Americans have policies to cover every possible risk, no matter how remote. So far, we've refused supplementary insurance for our car radio, death insurance for our mortgage and accident insurance for our cat. It gives us a feeling of living dangerously.Junk food. Anyone who wants to understand why Americans suffer from higher rates of cancer and heart disease only has to look at what they eat.Ketchup. I had to come to America to discover that it can be eaten with anything —from French fries to French cheese.Lines. American lines — beginning with the yellow line at immigration control — are the most orderly in the world. The British queue, once internationally renowned, has begun to decay in recent years. The French queue was never very impressive, and the Italian line is simply a mob.Money. In Europe, everybody likes money, but no one shows it off. Unless it's been in the family for several generations, there's often an assumption that it was acquired dishonestly. In America, no one cares how you got it.No smoking. No longer just a polite request in America, this phrase has become the law. Nobody would dare ask a Frenchman to put out his Galoise in a restaurant. Oliver North. What other major Western democracy lets army officers take over foreign policy? A hero for some, a traitor for others, Ollie (see First Names) is an example of an American recklessness that awes and alarms Europeans.Patriots. They exist everywhere, of course, but the American version is louder and more self-conscious than the European. In Britain, it's taken for granted thatpoliticians love their country. Here, they're expected to prove it.Quiet. American cities are quieter than European cities — thanks to noise controls on automobiles and to recent environmental legislation. This was a major surprise for someone brought up to assume that America was a noisy place.Religion. The idea of putting preachers on TV is alarming to Europeans. It's even more alarming to see them in action.Sales. Ever since arriving in Washington, we've been hurrying to take advantage of this week's unrepeatable offer, only to discover that it's usually repeated next week. We're just catching on that there's always an excuse for a sale.Television. That grown-ups can watch game shows and sitcoms at 11 AM amazes me — but the national habit, day or night, is contagious. I recently found myself nodding in agreement with a professor who was saying that American kids watch too much television. Then I realized that I was watching him say this on television.Ulcers. See Work.Visas. Americans don't need visas to visit Britain (or most European countries, for that matter). To enter the United States, I had to sign a document promising that I would not overthrow the government by force and had no criminal record. One wonders if many terrorists and criminals answer "yes" on these questionnaires. Work. People in less developed countries often imagine that they can become rich simply by emigrating to America. But America became a wealthy society through work, work and more work. It's still true.X-rated movies. We have them in Europe too, but not on motel-room TVs. Yuppies. The European counterpart remains a pale shadow of the all-American original. The animal seems more ambitious, and more common, on this side of the Atlantic.Zillion. What other nation would invent a number that's infinitely more than a billion? America may not always be the best, but it certainly thinks big.(1,030 words)Every 23 MinutesLinda WeltnerMy husband and I went to a funeral a few weeks ago. The man we honored had not been ill and will never grow old. He was killed in his car on a Sunday night, driving home along a divided highway.It was an ordinary evening, no blacker than any other, when a car coming in the other direction went out of control, broke through the guard rail, and hit two other cars before smashing head on into his. According to the newspaper, the driver, who was returning from a wedding, seemed puzzled. "I only had two bottles of beer and a cocktail," she is reported to have said.A wedding.Followed by a funeral.I wish she could have been there to see all the lives her act has changed forever, the wife, and four。

Yes, that’s right — it really is necessary to attend allthe school orientations.参加所有熟悉校园环境的活动。
是的，没错——的确有必要参加所有的熟悉校园环境的活动。
点评：两个简单句并列。
需要指出的是第二句是对前面祈使句的再次强调。
句中Yes一词，表示赞同前面的说法，可以翻译为“的确”，“没错”，“是的”。
而is用斜体，亦表示强调之意，朗读时应用重音。
2. Armed with a thorough understanding of all aspects of campus life — or, atleast, those aspects youcan glean from orientation — you will feel more at ease when issues arise, asthey always do.有了对校园生活方方面面的彻底了解——或者至少是那些从活动中所能搜集到的诸多信息的了解，那么，当层出不穷的问题出现时，你便能从容应对。
点评：这句话看似复杂，其实并不复杂。
句子的主干部分是you will feel more atease… 而前半部分Armed with a thorough understanding of…是过去分词短语，表示伴随状态，其所隐藏的主语就是主干部分的主语“you”。
这句话可以这样理解：If you are armed with a thoroughunderstanding of…,you will feel more at ease…另外，此句中破折号中间的部分or, at least, thoseaspects you can glean fromorientation可以先忽略不看，它是对前面all aspects of campus life的补充，是前面部分的同位语。
3. Often it is tempting to sleep through early morning class or skip it altogether— resist temptation.Make it a priority to attend all of your classes on time.通常，逃掉大清早的课睡个懒觉，或者干脆逃掉所有的课很具诱惑力。
务必抵制住这种诱惑。
准时上所有的课，使之成为头等大事。
点评：注意这两句话中的“it”。
第一句话Often it is tempting to…中的“it”是形式主语，该句真正的主语是to sleep through early morning class or skip it altogether。
第二句话Makeit a priority to…中的“it”是形式宾语，该句真正的宾语是to attend all of your classes on time。
英语句子中，如果主语或宾语较长、较复杂，通常用“it”这个形式主语或形式宾语取代真正的主语或宾语，使其提前，从而保持句子的平衡。
4. That being said, be careful of taking too much time for yourself.话虽这么说，注意别给自己太多的时间。
点评：这句话的主干就是一个祈使句be careful of taking too much time foryourself。
前面的部分是独立主格结构。
独立主格结构（Absolute Structure）是由名词或代词加上分词等构成的一种独立结构，用于修饰整个句子。
独立主格结构中的名词或代词与其后的分词等构成逻辑上的主谓关系。
这种结构与主句不发生句法上的联系，它的位置相当灵活，可置于主句前、主句末或主句中，常由逗号将其与主句分开。
例如：1）Two hundred people died in the accident, many of them children.2）He was listening attentively in class, his eyes fixed on the blackboard. 3）Every afternoon a very old woman hobbled past the old house，a vast loadof firewood on her back.UNIT 2Task 5TranslationA.
