There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.

Manufacturers advertise to try to persuade people to buy their products. Large business firms also use advertising to create a favorable "image" of their companies.

⼤学英语精读第四册Unit One课⽂介绍导语：我们都曾幻想⾃⼰有⼀⼤笔钱，下⾯是⼀篇讲述获得⼀⼤笔钱的简单⽅式的英语课⽂，欢迎⼤家学习。

Text Two college-age boys, unaware that making money usually involves hard work, are tempted by an advertisement that promises them an easy way to earn a lot of money. The boys soon learn that if something seems to good to be true, it probably is. BIG BUCKS THE EASY WAY John G. Hubbell "You ought to look into this," I suggested to our two college-age sons. "It might be a way to avoid the indignity of having to ask for money all the time." I handed them some magazines in a plastic bag someone bad hung on our doorknob. A message printed on the bag offered leisurely, lucrative work ("Big Bucks the Easy Way!") of delivering more such bags. "I don't mind the indignity," the older one answered. "I can live with it," his brother agreed. "But it pains me," I said，"to find that you both have been panhandling so long that it no longer embarrasses you." The boys said they would look into the magazine-delivery thing. Pleased, I left town on a business trip. By midnight I was comfortably settled in a hotel room far from home. The phone rang. It was my wife. She wanted to know how my day had gone. "Great!" I enthused. "How was your day?" I inquired. "Super!" She snapped. "Just super! And it's only getting started. Another truck just pulled up out front." "Another truck?" "The third one this evening. The first delivered four thousand Montgomery Wards. The second brought four thousand Sears, Roebucks. I don't know what this one has, but I'm sure it will be four thousand of something. Since you are responsible, I thought you might like to know what's happening. What I was being blamed for, it turned out, was a newspaper strike which made it necessary to hand-deliver the advertising inserts that normally are included with the Sunday paper. The company had promised our boys $600 for delivering these inserts to 4,000 houses by Sunday morning. "Piece of cake!" our older college son had shouted. " Six hundred bucks!" His brother had echoed, "And we can do the job in two hours!" "Both the Sears and Ward ads are four newspaper-size pages," my wife informed me. "There are thirty-two thousand pages of advertising on our porch. Even as we speak, two big guys are carrying armloads of paper up the walk. What do we do about all this?" "Just tell the boys to get busy," I instructed. "They're college men. They'll do what they have to do." At noon the following day I returned to the hotel and found an urgent message to telephone my wife. Her voice was unnaturally high and quavering. There had been several more truckloads of ad inserts. "They're for department stores, dime stores, drugstores, grocery stores, auto stores and so on. Some are whole magazine sections. We have hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of pages of advertising here! They are crammed wall-to-wall all through the house in stacks taller than your oldest son. There's only enough room for people to walk in, take one each of the eleven inserts, roll them together, slip a rubber band around them and slide them into a plastic bag. We have enough plastic bags to supply every takeout restaurant in America!" Her voice kept rising, as if working its way out of the range of the human ear. "All this must be delivered by seven o'clock Sunday morning." "Well, you had better get those guys banding and sliding as fast as they can, and I'll talk to you later. Got a lunch date. When I returned, there was another urgent call from my wife. "Did you have a nice lunch?" she asked sweetly. I had had a marvelous steak, but knew better by now than to say so. "Awful," I reported. "Some sort of sour fish. Eel, I think." "Good. Your college sons have hired their younger brothers and sisters and a couple of neighborhood children to help for five dollars each. Assembly lines have been set up. In the language of diplomacy, there is 'movement.'" "That's encouraging." "No, it's not," she corrected. "It's very discouraging. They're been as it for hours. Plastic bags have been filled and piled to the ceiling, but all this hasn't made a dent, not a dent, in the situation! It's almost as if the inserts keep reproducing themselves!" "Another thing," she continued. "Your college sons must learn that one does not get the best out of employees by threatening them with bodily harm. Obtaining an audience with son NO. 1, I snarled, "I'll kill you if threaten one of those kids again! Idiot! You should be offering a bonus of a dollar every hour to the worker who fills the most bags. "But that would cut into our profit," he suggested. "There won't be any profit unless those kids enable you to make all the deliveries on time. If they don't, you two will have to remove all that paper by yourselves. And there will be no eating or sleeping until it is removed." There was a short, thoughtful silence. Then he said, "Dad, you have just worked a profound change in my personality." "Do it!" "Yes, sir!" By the following evening, there was much for my wife to report. The bonus program had worked until someone demanded to see the color of cash. Then some activist on the work force claimed that the workers had no business settling for $5 and a few competitive bonuses while the bossed collected hundreds of dollars each. The organizer had declared that all the workers were entitled to $5 per hour! They would not work another minute until the bosses agreed. The strike lasted less than two hours. In mediation, the parties agreed on $2 per hour. Gradually, the huge stacks began to shrink. As it turned out, the job was completed three hours before Sunday's 7 a.m. deadline. By the time I arrived home, the boys had already settled their accounts: $150 in labor costs, $40 for gasoline, and a like amount for gifts—boxes of candy for saintly neighbors who had volunteered station wagons and help in delivery and dozen roses for their mother. This left them with $185 each — about two-thirds the minimum wage for the 91 hours they worked. Still, it was "enough", as one of them put it, to enable them to "avoid indignity" for quite a while. All went well for some weeks. Then one Saturday morning my attention was drawn to the odd goings-on of our two youngest sons. They kept carrying carton after carton from various corners of the house out the front door to curbside. I assumed their mother had enlisted them to remove junk for a trash pickup. Then I overheard them discussing finances. "Geez, we're going to make a lot of money!" "We're going to be rich!" Investigation revealed that they were offering " for sale or rent" our entire library. "No! No!" I cried. "You can't sell our books!" "Geez, Dad, we thought you were done with them!" "You're never 'done' with books," I tried to explain. "Sure you are. You read them, and you're done with them. That's it. Then you might as well make a little money from them. We wanted to avoid the indignity of having to ask you for……" New Words buck n. (sl.)

现代大学英语精读4UNIT1翻译及课后答案

UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学 —— 你学了吗？”有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

我们的故事是在大约两年半以前开始的。我刚买了电脑，一天晚上我正在电脑上消磨时间，突然收到一封来自麦特的信息，因为我不认识这个名字，因此没有回复。过了几过，当我第五次收到同样名字的信息时，我终于作了回复，然而我压根儿也没想到事情会发展到现在这样。
He was from England and I was from America. We started chatting about things like common interests, weather and things like that. One night he asked me for a picture, so I sent one to him. Later he started to call me on the telephone and we talked almost every night about everything under the sun. Finally he got a picture of himself online and sent it to me. He was beautiful beyond words.
What do you think of online love? We can’t be more prudent/cautious/careful.
He Is the Best Thing in Life that Happened to Me 遇到他是我一生中最美妙的事情
Our story started out about two and a half years ago. I had just bought my computer and was messing around on it one night, when out of the blue I received an instant message from Matt. I didn’t recognize the name so I didn’t answer. A few nights later the same thing happened. I didn’t know who this person was, so I wouldn’t respond. Well, after the 5th time of this happening finally I answered, never in a million years knowing things would eventually turn out like they are now.

Unit 1 Advertisement
Advertising
1. Almost everyone in Britain and North America is exposed daily to continuous advertising, in the press, on television and on hoardings. Newspapers, magazines and television companies are dependent on advertising for a large part of their income. Glossy magazines and the supplements to Sunday newspapers frequently contain fullpage colour advertisements of different kinds, with the product service often carefully aimed to a particular type of reader （e.g. according to age, social status, profession, sex, etc.） in Britain. About 64 percent of total advertising expenditure is on advertising in the press and 30 percent on television advertising.
