新视野大学英语（第二版）快速阅读新视野大学英语（第二版）快速阅读Unit 1 Passage 1 第1 页到第3 页Differences Between Two Kinds of Youth原版：The trip to the United State opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. Now I will talk about the differences between them.The first difference is in appearance.Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they don't care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think it's great, but it also causes problems. Since they don't care about their appearance,they don't really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they don't really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, actually, can't kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want,and they are usually more concerned about the future of the relationship thanAmerican youth.With regard to othet types of relationships ,there are also big differences.Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of tie between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.To finish, I noticed that in American classes,when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they don't really care how the others will judge them. In France, it's not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans' behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.1、In this article,the author talks about _____ betweenAmerican youth and Frenchyouth.A) The friendshipB) The differences and similaritiesC) The similiartiesD) The differences2、A merican young people ______A) Are more concerned about appearaneeB) Show more interest in people ' s ideasC) Are just interested in peoples ' clothesD) Care more about their weight3、A merican youth often _____A) Wonder why they look strangeB) Care what people look likeC) Neglect their weightD) Cause problems with their ideas4、W hen American youth fall in love with each other, they ________A) will kiss wherever they likeB) will always think about their futureC) will not hold each otherD) will rarely display their love in public5、F rench youth may think more about ____A) Their lover ' s ideasB) Their relati on ship ' s futureC) Their physical displaysD) Their public images6、W hen meeting with strange,American girls ______A) Are usually shy and keep silentB) Will try to create a bond with themC) Will try to arrive in front of themD) Usually lack self-c on fide nee7、W hen facing strangers,French girl usually _____A) Start to create a lively conversationB) Enjoy show ing their self-c on fide ncceC) Are shy and lack con fide neeD) Behave in a way similar to American girls8、I f French pupils want to ask questions in class,they will ____A) Ask for the teacher permsssion firstB) Speak up before the teacher permitsC) Try to control themselves not to do soD) Think about it before they do so译文：对美国的旅行让我打开眼界，有很多的相似性以及差异的美国青年和法国青年。

大学英语第二册第6课 课文及课后答案
READING ACTIVTTYSkill: Reading Beyond the LinesA good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence:John Henderson was driving home late last night from an exhausting business trip.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of the story THE HITCHHIKER (Reading Practice 10, Book I). It tells the reader whom the story is about-John Henderson, and when the event takes place-late one night, If we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip?"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting";3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night fight after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1. read and think beyond the printed words;2. analyze the information given in the text;3. determine the author's reason for his choice of words.PassageRead carefully the following selection and complete the exercises after it.Words to KnowInventor 发明人Useless 无用的,无价值的Contrast 对比,对照Deserve 应受,值得Literature 文学Skillful 灵巧的,娴熟的Lover 爱好者;情人Financial 金融的Mankind 人类Scientific 科学的Explosive 炸药Outstanding 杰出的Weapon 武器Original 有独创性的injure 伤害glory 光荣,荣誉Alfred Nobel-a Man of ContrastsAlfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt(破产者), but became a millionaire; a scientist with a love of literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad in private. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or family to love him; a patriotic son of his native land, he died alone on foreign soil. He invented a new explosive, dynamite(甘油炸药), to improve the peacetime industries of mining and road building, but saw it used as a weapon of war to kill and injure his fellow men. (1)During his useful life he often felt he was useless: "Alfred Nobel," he once wrote of himself, "ought to have been put to death by a kind doctor as soon as, with a cry, he entered life." World-famous for his works he was never personally well known, for throughout his life he avoided publicity. "I do not see," he once said, "that I have deserved any fame and I have no taste for it," but since his death his name has brought fame and glory to others.He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842, where his father, Immanuel, made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. Immanuel Nobel invented the landmine and made a lot of money from government orders for it during the Crimean War(克里米亚战争), but went bankrupt soon after. Most of the family returned to Sweden in 1859, where Alfred rejoined them in 1863, beginning his own study of explosives in his father's laboratory. (2) He had never been to school or university but had studied privately and by the time he was twenty was a skillful chemist and excellent linguist, speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. Like his father, Alfred Nobel was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business and showed more financial sense. He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. (3) Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.But Nobel's main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. (4) Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. Perhaps because he could not find ordinary human love-he never married -he came to care deeply about the whole of mankind. He was always generous to the poor: "I'd rather take care of the stomachs of the living than the glory of the dead in the form of stone memorials," he once said. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause until his death in Italy in 1896. (5)His famous will, in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology(生理学), Medicine, Literature and Peace, is a memorial to his interests and ideals. And so, the man who felt he should have died at birth is remembered and respected long after his death.Exercise AChoose the best answer to each question:1. According to the author scientists usuallya. take a serious interesting literatureb. take no serious interest in literature.c. take a serious interest in literature as well as science.2. Generally an industrialista. attaches more importance to practical considerations that to idealsb. considers practical matters as important as ideals.c. pays attention to practical considerations but manages to remain idealistic at the same time.3. Alfred Nobel said he did not deserve any fame and had no taste for it. From this we can infer that Alfred Nobel wasa. a self-conscious person.b. a generous person.c. a modest person.4. The expression "have no taste for" meansa. try to avoid.b. don't like.c. have no ability to enjoy.5. The expression "made a strong position for himself" could most suitably be replaced bya. became well established.b. made large profits.c. won himself a well-paid job.6. From the context we can guess that a "linguist" must bea. a person who studies and is good at foreign languages.b. an inventor in the engineering industry.c. a scientist with a talent for language learning.7. A person with much financial sense is onea. who has a very strong desire for money.b. who cares about nothing but making profits.c. who manages money matters well, making the best of chances for making profits.8. Alfred Nobel stood head and shoulders above others becauseaa. s a scientist he was imaginative and inventive.b. as an industrialist he showed prudent(慎重的) judgment had great foresight(预见)c. both a and b9. "I'd rather take care of the stomachs of the living than the glory of the dead in the form of stone memorials." The implication of this statement isa. we should honor the dead in some other way rather than by building stone monuments for them.b. rather than spend money and make efforts in building monuments in memory of the dead, we should do something to provide more good for the living.c. when we are planning to build monuments to honor the dead, we should also make real efforts to provide the living with more food10. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?a. In leaving behind a well-meant will, Alfred Nobel succeeded in building a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.b. Alfred Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.c. In his famous will Alfred Nobel expressed his wish that a monument should be put up in memory of him as a scientist and inventor.Exercise BTranslate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the passage.GUIDED WRITINGPART ISkill: Rearranging Sentences in Logical OrderRearrange the following sentences so that they form a coherent paragraph in logical order:1.

Unit 1The Evolving Notion of Home“Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the ideal of home has great importance for many people.This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small households were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the life-and-death importance of family cooperation and hard work.Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly identical, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life.For the new suburbanites of the 1950s and 1960s, however, life inside their small houses was very different from life on a farm. First, the family spent much less time together in the house. The father frequently drove, or commuted, as much as an hour to work each morning. The children went to school all day and played after school with neighborhood children. The suburb itself was sometimes called a bedroom community because people used their houses basically for sleeping. Second, the suburb was not a stable community: Families moved frequently as the fathers sought upward mobility — better-paying jobs and bigger houses. Although the idea of home was still as precious as always, it had taken on a different meaning.In the 1970s and 1980s, as more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: People can now telecommute, or work at home, while being linked to the office by means of their computers. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old expression could change from“Home, sweet home” to “Home, sweet office,” but the emphasis on the ideal of home will most likely stay the same.不断发展的家的概念“家,甜蜜的家”是一个短语,表达一个基本态度在美国。

6.A Long and Healthy LifeHave you wished for a magic pill or magic formula (方法) that would let you live happily forever ? If you have, don’t feel alone! It’s a very common, natural wish that has a long history. Spanish explorers of the sixteenth century even tried to find a fountain of youth in what is now the state of Florida. The water of this legendary (传说中的) fountain, which no one has yet found ,was believed to restore youth and good health to those who drank it.Biologists today don’t expect that anyone will find a magical fountain of youth. Growing older is a natural part of the life cycle that can’t be reversed(倒退) .As human beings grow older ,organs such as the heart and lungs may stop functioning properly. Sight and hearing may become weak .And the human body becomes more likely to come down with serious illness from which it cannot recover.Considered together, changes that bring about the decline(衰退) of an organism are called aging .Because of aging ,many biologists believe that there may be a maximum(最大的) age limit to which even the healthiest organisms can live. For human beings, this maximum age limit is about 110 years.Perhaps the most important thing that you can learn from your study of human biology is that you have a lot of control over the aging process in your own life .In fact; within our control are many physical and mental factors that have much to do with aging. For example ,each of us ,as recent research indicates, can do many things to help prevent heart and vessel(血管) disease ,which causes half the deaths each year in the United States .We can avoid eating a lot of fatty meat. Eating too much of these types of animal fats can lead to the clogging(阻塞) and hardening of blood vessels . We can cut back on smoking and hopefully of sugar we eat. We can exercise regularly and strengthen the heart and other organs. And we can remember to take time out each day for ourselves, time just to relax. Exercise ,recreation(娱乐), and relaxation all reduce stress－inner tension that is hard on all body organs.One final thing we can do is to try to keep aware of advances made in health education. Information is often available free of charge from health clinics or schools.(406 words)Comprehension ExercisesⅠ. Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.Which of the following is the leading cause of death in the United States?A. Heart disease.B. Cancer.C. Alcohol.D. Smoking.2. What happens as people grow older?A. They dream of a magic pill to help them live a happy and long time.B. They come down with serious illnesses.C. Their organs become weak and may stop working properly.D. Their blood vessels become clogged.3. In the opinion of biologists,＿＿＿.A. the aging process can be reversedB. the aging process can be controlled and slowed downC. the aging process can be got rid ofD. the aging process can go beyond its limit4. We can slow down the weakening of all our body organs by＿＿＿.A. not eating animal fatB. limiting drinking and smokingC. exercise, recreation and relaxation to blood vesselsD. preventing the clogging and hardening of blood vessels5. Besides physical and mental factors, which of the following also contributes to living a long and healthy life according to the passage?A. Health education.B. Traditional medicine.C. Artificial organs.D. The invention of magic pills.Ⅱ. Judge whether or not the following statements agree with the information given in the passage,and mark Y for YES,N for NO ,or NG if information is not given in the passage.( ) 1.Few people have the wish of finding a magic pill that would be of help to live happily forever.( ) 2.Many biologists believe that each species has a natural maximum age limit.( ) 3.From the passage we know that there is much we can do to help prevent many diseases.( ) 4.Mental factors have little to do with good health. ( ) 5.Doctors believes that regular exercise reduces the chances of getting heart disease.7.The Earth's PastIf the history of the earth could be compressed 〔压缩〕into the span of one year's time,the story of the human race would be written as the the last two hours of the final day!This fact gives you an idea of just how old the Earth is no written record to tell us the Earth's geological past ,the Earth has left a record in the form of fossils.A fossil is the preserved remains or traced of an ancient living thing.Fossils are most often found buried in rock,but they may bones,shells,and woodyalso be found in caves,ancient tar(沥青) beds,and the solid ice that covered the Earth's polar regions.In all these places,fossils are protected from damaging effects of weathering and erosion(侵蚀).Usually only the hard parts are preserved.The hard part can include ones,shells,and woody tissues.The soft parts,like flesh,either decay or are eaten by animals before they can be preserved.One exception is when an organism is subjected to extreme cold.Then the entire body may be preserved in ice.Sometimes the remains of an organism are preserved after after having been changed into a completely different form.For instance,coal deposits on the Earth are actually the fossilremains of plants.When plants decompose(腐烂),eventually only deposits of carbon remain.When the carbon is under extreme pressure for a long period of time,it is slowly transformed into coal.Coal is called a"fossil fuel"because of the way it is created.Fossils can help geologists(地质学家)learn about how animal and plant species have changed over time.Since geologists can date the rocks that the fossils are in,they can also tell during what time period in the past a species lived.For example,on the geologic calendar,you can see that fish first appear in the era labeled Paleozoic(古生代).This means that the oldest rocks discovered to contain fish fossils are between 225 million and 600 million years old.We can assume that fish existed in the world at least 225 million years ago.Fossils are also used to study extinct(灭绝的) species.There are no longer any living woolly mammoths(猛犸) on the Earth,but we can know what a woolly mammoth looked like by studing the frozen bodies found in Siberia.(406 words)Comprehension ExercisesⅠ.Choose the best answers to the following question.1.How old is the Earth?A.Over 225 million years.B.Over 600 million years.C.Between 225 and 600 million years.D.Over 4 billion years.2.We know the age of the life on the Earth because ____.A.there is written record of the Earth's geological pastB.some fossils are found in good shape.C.the earth contains a record in the form of fosssils.D.some scientists have studied some extinct animals3.Where can we find fossils besides in rock and caves?A.In water.B.In woody tissues.C.In solid ice.D.In coal.4.How is coal created?A.The remains of dead plants are transformed into depositsof coal under extreme pressure over a long time.B.The remains of dead animals have been changed into a completed different form.C.Rocks and tar beds have bee different form over time.n changed into a completely different form over time.D.The soft parts of organisms have been changed into a completely different form.5.Fossils are usually found in rock,caves,ice and so on.Why?A.Because these are the places where fossils can form.B.Because these are the places where fossils can be protected from the damage of weathering and erosion.C.Because these are the places where fossils can be changed into a completely different form.D.Because these are the places where dead animals and plants can decompose and be transformed.Ⅱ.Complete the following sentences with the informationgiven in the passage.1.____ of ancient animals and plants in rock are known as fossils.2.Fossils are most often found in rock,caves,tar beds andice,where they can be preserved from the damage of ____.3.Coal is made from the remains of ____ that have been changed into a completely different form.4.____ of an organism can not be preserved except in solid ice.5.Fish are estimated to have on the Earth for____.8.Plastic Trash an environmental ConcernWith the invention of polymers(聚合物),chemists gives us plastic.As a consumer product,plastic is strong,versatile(用途广泛的),and durable(耐用的).It can hold up under heat and pressure and can be subjected to total submersion(浸泡)in water (even ocean water)and not be affected.You canleaveit outside,and the weather.Unlike most other materials,plastic does not naturally decay〔腐烂〕.For useful consumer products,this remarkable durability is a blessing.Plastic bottles are light and unbreakable;plastic bags do not leak or tear as easily as paper bags do.But when these items are ready for the garbage,it's an environmental nightmare!Millions of tons of plastic garbage litter ourhighways and beaches.Plastic trash even affects marine life in the oceans.According to the National Academy of Sciences,more than 600,000 plastic containers and bags are thrown into the oceans every day.Fisherman lose or throw away an estimated 150,000 tons of plastic fishing gear (渔具)each year.At least forty-two species of seabirds are known to snack on plastic ,a habit that is often fatal(致命的).In addition tens of thousands of seals,sea lions,and turtles die each year after becoming caught in bits of fish netting.What should we do with the hundreds of millions of tons of plastic and other polymer products that end up in the garbage each year?We could burn it.However,that creates a thick,black smock that is not only intolerable but is also a dangerous form of air pollution.We could bury it,but solid waste dumps have their own pollution problems.Too often,trash in the dumps is not buried for a long period of time and becomes a health hazard(危险) for birds and other land animals,including nearby human residents.What's more,highly populated countries with limited land may find that land is far too valuable to use as a dump site.Obviously,a large-scale solution to the plastic trashproblemis not yet in sight.However,individuals can help by keeping some of that plastic out of the garbage for as long as possible.For example,people who get plastic bags from the grocery store could save them and reuse them.Some people may choose not to buy plastic products when the same item is available in paper or glass.Of course,these are only small steps,but they could eventually be part of a large solution.(412 words) Comprehension ExercisesⅠ.Choose the best answers to the following question.1.What's the main idea of passage?A.Plastic is an ideal material.B.Plastic garbage has become an environmental concern.C.Plastic is a consumer product.D.No way has been found to solve the plastic trash problem.2.What are the main properties(特性)of plastic as a useful consumer product?A.Strong,versatile,durable.B.Cheap,convenient,reusable.C.Soft,light,unbreakable.D.Waterproof,unable to decay,burnable.3.Plastic trash affects the life of seabirds.For example,____.A.they are often caught in bits of netting.B.sea water is polluted by plastic trash.C.they mistake plastic trash for food.D.sea beaches are littered with plastic garbage.4.Which of the following properties of plastics makes plastic garbage a great environmental concern?A.Light weight.B.Strength.D.Resistance to weathering and decay.5.Which of the following methods is environmentally sound in dealing with plastic trash?A.Dumping it in the ocean far away from shore.B.burning it at sea.C.Not mentioned in this passage.D.Leaving it in the open air.Ⅱ.Judge whether or not the following statements agree withthe information given in the passage,and mark Y for YES,N for NO ,or NG if information is not given in the passage.( )1.Presently efforts to deal with plastic trash have got somewhere.( )2.Burying plastic trash will lead a shortage of land for human use.( )3.The durability of plastics is of great help to daily life in every respect.( )4.Obviously a large-scale solution to the plastic trash problem is to keep plastic out of garbage for as long as possible.( )5.It is suggested in this passage that we use more paper or glass instead of plastic products so as to reduce plastic trash.9.Meat Industries Are Destroying the PlanetRisk of mad cow disease，and heart disease isn't the only reason to eat less meat：the planet simply cannot sustain a population that increasingly feeds on animal protein(蛋白质),says the U.K. Government's Sustainable Development Commission. The problem lies in that animals consume vast supplies of land, crops, water and other resources in order to produce a much smaller quantity of animal protein for human consumption. The fast growing population of animals for use in the human food supply is being described as,"...one of the biggest environmental crises we're now facing."Then, there's the environmental impact of raising so many animals for food in the first place. Thousands of acres of rain forest continue to be cleared in South American in order to convert jungle to grazing land(牧场)for cattle. That alone is alarming, and yet that's only the beginning. Cows, chickens and pigs produce waste on a massive scale, and that waste is often drained directly into rivers or-this is true-fed back to other animals. Then, there's the use of water while they grow. As water becomes increasingly scarce in decades to come, this will become an issue of great contention(争论). So,it seems that from an environmental point of view, responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animal protein. Finally,there's the ethics(行为准那么)of eating meat. One of the reasons I don't eat red meat in particular is because red meat comes from intelligent mammals(哺乳动物): cows and pigs.These beings have social structures, they communicate with each other, and they communicate with each other, and they most definitely feel pain. To raise an intelligent animal for no purpose other than to slaughter(屠杀) it and sell its flesh is, in my opinion, evil. The further you go down the scale of intelligence, the less evil this becomes. Killing a chicken and eating it is not so evil, since chickens don't have the intelligence of cows and pigs. Consuming bacteria(in yogurt(乳酸), for example) is not at all evil, since bacteria are not capable of feeling pain, it seems. But Pigs? Pigs are as intelligent as dogs. Would you slaughter your pet dog and eat it? If not, then why would you support the slaughter of animals with similar intelligence? And remember: every time you buy bacon or sausage, you are indirectly slaughtering another pig, another intelligent being.What do you think? Do you believe mammals have souls? Do you think cows and pigs are capable of feeling and understanding pain? Does your pet dog understand pain? Can the planet sustain a population that consumes that consumes large quantities of animal protein? How could societies shift to plant sources of protein? Give it some thought.1题，Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.What is the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A.The earth will not sustain us if we continue to raise animals.B.Eating meat will do harm to our health.C.Meat consumption is becoming one of the biggest environmental crises.D.Intelligent animals lake cows and pigs have feelings and souls.2.Why does the author hold that meat industries are destroying the planet?A. Because they increase the risk of mad cow disease and heart diseaseB. Because animals raised for food consume a vast amount of resources like land,water and so onC. Because killing and eating intelligent animals has destroyed our ethics and souls.D. Because the number of intelligent animals has been greatly reduced3.What does the writer mean by saying"The further you go down the scale of intelligence,the less evil this becomes"?A. Killing low-intelligence animals is less evil than killing high-intelligence animalsB. It is not evil to raise animals for human foodC. Responsible citizens should greatly reduce their consumption of animals proteinD. Animal intelligence is still an issue of great contention4.What attitude does the author take towards the consumption of animal protein?A. OptimisticB. PessimisticC. CriticalD. Positive5.What does the author suggest at the end of passage?A. People should care much about animal intelligenceB. The human population should be considerably reducedC. People should consume more plant protein while reducing animal proteinD.

The dog takes off to find cover under the brand-new Navigator. —BOOM!—The dog and the Navigator are blown to bits and sink to the bottom of the lake in a very large hole,leaving the two idiots standing there with this "I can't believe this happened"look on their faces.1题：Choose the best answers to the following questions.1.The Lincoln Navigator in this passage is .A. a carB.

我突然想到如果我要在这次陌生全新的冒险中成功的话,我就得比我们法学院的同学们阅读更长时间的书籍,而且要读得更加透彻。
我觉得,为了弥补我在早些年所错过的东西,我要比其他任何人更努力工作,花更多时间学习。
我仍然有那样的感觉,我不想我的同事知道我在理解内容,短语,想法,过程这个时间段是多么的艰难。
我不想我的同事知道那件事。
所以我在阅读时不在法学院而在图书馆,研究生宿舍,楼上,那些安静的地方,因为显然没有其他人在那里学习。
所以我会去哪里一个晚上在吃饭之后.我会夹着我的书去图书馆,然后我会阅读到凌晨之后再去睡觉.那些年期间我没能好好睡眠.若是我在晚上得到3到4个小时,我就很幸运了,因为我不得不熬夜.我不得不.教授会为第二天分配作业,并且这些作业必须被阅读和理解否则我就会被落下,我已经落下了,如果我不努力学习,我就会被落的更远.当我被要求在班级里回答问题时我总是高兴的.但是教授不大会提问”女生们”。

我学到的一件事是，我们必须讲出来，问题，事实，案例还是过程。
我们不能仅仅阅读案例，独自在图书馆里学习，正如我以前一直那样，呆在教室里学不到全部。

U11无2在佛罗伦萨这个城市里，吃的、睡的、和呼吸的都是艺术。
人类艺术天赋的典范几乎矗立在每一条街上，成打的博物馆和美工艺品店等待着您去探索。
意大利的佛罗伦萨是艺术爱好者的天堂。
在文艺复兴时期（或称艺术重生时期），佛罗伦萨对艺术家们本身就是个天堂，事实上在五百多年前，文艺复兴就在这儿发迹了。
在这之前，艺术作品完全集中在宗教主题上，而文艺复兴时期的艺术则包含更多变化的风貌，艺术家们描绘一般人物的画像，也绘画希腊罗马神话中的历史和人物。
米开朗基罗是佛罗伦萨艺术家中的佼佼者。
游客们在阿卡得米亚博物馆前大排长龙达好几个钟头之久，为了一睹他感人的大作「大卫像」的丰采，这一尊十四英尺高的雕像已经成为文艺复兴时期最完美的一尊人物塑像，「大卫像」是一种典范，表现出米开朗基罗雕塑人像简洁而有力的风格。
在维琪奥宫可以看到更多米开朗基罗的作品，这栋建筑在1299年至1322年曾是佛罗伦萨政府的所在地。
著名意大利艺术家的画作和雕刻作品，摆满了宫中的各厅室。
米开朗基罗也协助装饰其外观，他在宫墙上雕刻头像，有一个传说提到，为了跟人打赌，米开朗基罗背对着墙，两手背在后面雕刻头像。
离维琪奥宫不远的地方座落着翡冷翠教堂广场。
华丽圆顶的翡冷翠教堂，或称「神的殿堂」，花了将近150年才建造完工（1294-1436），并由当时最著名的工程师设计而成。
今日的游客仍惊叹于这个圆顶，它是教堂中最引人注目像皇冠似的一景。
时至今日，在佛罗伦萨没有任何一栋建筑高过这个圆顶的。
教堂文物博物馆耸立于附近，这栋建筑曾经是那些为此座教堂定制艺术品的人的办公室，今天它收藏了过去装饰教堂外观的雕像。
稍作散步一番走过佛罗伦萨狭窄的小巷，游客将来到著名的乌菲齐美术馆。
这栋建筑建于1560年间，当年是作为办公之用（乌菲齐在意大利语中是办公室的意思）。
今日，它则以其出色的艺术收藏而自豪，游客们一定得穿着舒适的鞋子去参观，因为要一探这个美术馆得花好几个小时的时间。
收藏中一些著名的作品包括有波提切利的「春」和「维也纳的诞生」。

Unit 1How to StudyThere is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn't do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour 's work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours' work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he'll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours' work in one day, he'll be so tired that he'll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he 'd learn more (point 5).Now whatever the exact shape of the graph 's curve, made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue. Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can't escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best—and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.The skill in being a student consists of getting one 's daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that's a pretty good sign you 've reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at about five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less—but if you get in five hours' good work a day, you will be doing well.Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren't working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one 's physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn't chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.When you 've finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work—that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn't matter what—anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.Learning to Keep Y ou Cool During T estsHave you ever felt so anxious during an examination that you couldn't even put down the answers you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety.According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for many people. When you 're worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats faster and your pulse speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more than normal or suffer from a stomachache or headache. Your field of vision narrows and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you 're having difficulty focusing."What I hear students say over and over again," says Dr. Trimble, who is working at the Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, "is, 'My mind went blank.'"For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better during exams and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested in sharing what they learned and, with Trimble 's help, began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety. For many students, just being in a workshop with other sufferers made them feel better. They realized that they were not the only ones who had done poorly on tests because of tension.The workshops were so successful that they are still given.In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent it from getting the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or during an examination you start to panic, stretch as hard as you can, tensing the muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them.This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don't want to be too relaxed. Being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. "If you are so calm you don't care how you do on an examination, you won't do well," Trimble says. "There is an optimum level of concern when you perform at your best. Some stress helps. There are people who can't take even slight stress. They have to learn that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to do better. But if they call it anxiety and say, 'It's going to hit me again,' that will make them nervous and worried."As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day or two before the examination, you can't do the impossible and learn it all. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked and what you can do in the time left for studying.When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes, and going over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the textbooks and notes you took in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night 's rest before the exam. You should also eat a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoiding drinks like coffee and stay away from fellow students who get tense. Panic spreads easily.Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is handed out, read the directions twice and underline the significant instructions, making sure you understandthem. Ask the teacher to explain if you don't. First answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult.On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize your thoughts, make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence. Keep working steadily, and even when time starts to run out, don't speed up.Paying Y our WayThere were red faces at one of Britain 's biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy? 100,000 worth of shares from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy (they thought he was twenty-one). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to pay up. The bank lost £ 20,000 on the deal which it cannot get back because, for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and, for another, being under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed £ 20,000 profit. Not bad for a fifteen-year-old. It certainly is better than delivering the morning newspaper. In another recent case, a boy of fourteen found, in his grandmother 's house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. The clean, crisp, banknotes looked very convincing but they were now not used in their country of origin or anywhere else. This young boy headed straight to the nearest bank with his pockets filled with notes. The cashiers did not realise that the country in question had reduced the value of its currency by 90 %. They exchanged the notes at their face value at the current exchange rate. In three days, before he was found out, he took £ 200,000 from nine different banks. Amazingly, he had already spent more than half of this on taxi-rides, restaurant meals, concert tickets and presents for his many new girlfriends (at least he was generous!) before the police caught up with him. Because he is also under eighteen the banks have kissed goodbye to a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.Should we admire these youngsters for being enterprising and showing initiative or condemn them for their dishonesty? Maybe they had managed for years with tiny amounts of pocket money that they got from tight-fisted parents. Maybe they had done Saturday jobs for peanuts. It is hardly surprising, given the expensive things that young people want to buy, such as fashionable running shoes and computer games, if they sometimes think up more imaginative ways of making money than delivering newspapers and baby-sitting. These lads saw the chance to make a lot of money and took it.Another recent story which should give us food for thought is the case of the man who paid his six-year-old daughter £ 300 a week pocket money. He then charged her for the food she ate and for her share of the rent and household bills. After paying for all this, she was left with a few coins for her piggy bank. "She will soon learn the value of money," he said. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has to be paid for and the sooner she learns that the better." At the other extreme there are fond parents who provide free bed and board for their grown-up children. While even the most hard-hearted parents might hesitate to throw their children out on the streets, we all know of people in their late twenties who still shamelessly liveoff their parents. Surely there comes a time when everyone has to leave the parental nest, look after themselves and pay their own way in life. But when is it?The Day I Went to Open a Bank AccountI don't know why my father never liked banks. Every time we passed one he would frown and walk just a little faster to get past it just that little bit quicker. It seems to me there must have been a big collision between a bank and my father a long time ago before I knew anything about anything. That is, it may have been a big collision for my father but it was one that the bank almost certainly did not remember.That's how I was brought up. Forever walking quickly past banks. Perhaps I took on my father 's opinions as I took on his other unusual behavior. I quickly learnt to frown and walk just a little bit faster every time I passed a bank. I also learnt to fear the shiny steel and chrome counters and the trim, slim and smartly dressed young women who sat behind them.I never understood the necessity for banks until, at the end of my first month as a clerk in an office, I was handed a check for $ 1,500, I stared at it in great surprise. I had never seen such a thing before. I understood cash well enough but this long slip of paper was something I wasn't quite sure about."Everything all right?" asked Mrs. Smith, our accounts manager. "Yes ... yes!" I said and signed for it hurriedly. What on earth was I going to do? I knew too well what I had to do and my heart dropped at the thought. I had to open a bank account.For some reason I thought you had to talk to the manager of a bank before they would let you open an account. I went up to an empty counter and caught the eye of a bank clerk."Yes? Can I help you?" he asked."Yes please," I said, "I 'd like a word with the manager. If that's possible;"He looked surprised but asked me to wait and went off.The manager was younger than I expected and was clearly very busy."Yes. Can I help you?" he asked."Yes. I 'd like to talk to you. If you don't mind," I said. I was just as surprised as he was at the confident manner in which I spoke. I didn't know what to say next so I said nothing. For a moment neither of us said anything.He must have understood that I wished to see him alone, for he invited me into his office and offered me a large comfortable seat."Now, then, sir. What can I do for you?" he asked, clearly puzzled."I would like to open a bank account," I informed him."I see," he said, nodding his head slowly," And how much do you wish to deposit in this account?""I wish to deposit this," I said and handed him the check.He examined the check carefully before handing it back to me."A savings account?" he asked.I nodded."Please follow me."He led me out of his office back to the banking hall. There he took me to a large desk manned by a young lady by the name of "Candice Lee"—as I saw from the name card on the desk."This lady will help you open a savings account in which you can deposit your check for $ 1500," he said in a voice that was, I felt, a bit louder than absolutely necessary. "Good day, sir," he said and walked back to safety behind the barrier.I waited. Miss Lee filled out forms for me and I signed them. She stamped them. She made me sign a little strip of plastic and she fixed this inside a little red book. She put the check in and back came the book with the right amount printed in it. It was at that moment that I realised I needed to withdraw some money and I asked how this might be achieved."I 'm afraid you can't withdraw it for two days, sir. Not until the check has been cleared."I stared at her in great surprise. I was trusting her bank with my money. It seemed only fair that they should trust my check."What?" I said in shock. "What!!?" I burst out angrily. Silence fell over the entire bank as everyone turned to see what was happening. I decided to leave with my self-respect safe and sound."If you do not trust my check, would you be so kind as to return it immediately. Your passbook," I said as confidently as I could. Miss Lee seemed really surprised. The bank manager must have been listening to every word. He came out once again from behind the barriers of steel and chrome. He held my check by a corner and presented it to me as if it were a wet fish. I handed him his little red pass book in a similar fashion, turned around and left. As the doors closed behind me, I clearly heard the sound of laughter.The accounts department and I have managed to come to an arrangement about the way in which my salary is paid to me at the end of each month. I now keep my savings in a sock, as did my father before me, which I hide, as did my father before me, under my bed at home.Unit 2Remembering My GrandparentsWhen memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty—a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightlyflattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humor nor his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said, "Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that." Then he drove away with his horses.The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink."How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired."I don't know.""How many potatoes did you pick up?""I didn't pick any.""Not any! Why not?""You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to."In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.My grandmother (" Gram") worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds—all that was beautiful around her—pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, "See how beautiful this is!"In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.Leaf and LoafLeafAt last we went out and stood on the lawn and watched the sun go down, and my father said, "If it weren't for art, we 'd have vanished from the face of the earth long ago."What art really is, though, and what a human being really is, and what the world really is. I just don't know, that's all.Standing there, watching the sun go down into the sea, my father said, "In every house there ought to be an art table on which, one by one, things are placed, so that everybody in that house might look at the things very carefully, and see them.""What would you put on a table like that?""A leaf. A coin. A button. A stone. A small piece of torn newspaper. An apple. An egg.A pebble. A flower. A dead insect. A shoe.""Everybody's seen those things.""Of course. But nobody looks at them, and that's what art is. To look at familiar things as if they had never before been seen. A plain sheet of paper with typing on it. A necktie. A pocketknife. A key. A fork. A cup. A bottle. A bowl. A walnut.""What about a baseball? A baseball's a beautiful thing.""It certainly is. You would place something on the table and look at it. The next morning you would take it away, and put something else there—anything, for there is nothing made by nature or by man that doesn't deserve to be looked at particularly."Now, the sun was gone all the way into the sea. There was a lot of orange light on the water, and in the sky above the water. Legion of Honor Hill grew dark, and my father brought out a cigarette and lighted it and inhaled and then let the smoke out of his nose and mouth, and he said, "Well, boy, there's another day of the wonderful world gone forever.""New day tomorrow, though.""What do you say we drive to the seaside and look at the ships from all over the world?"LoafWe loafed through the whole town, because that was what we had planned to do. It was nothing more than just another little town with another bunch of people living in it. We saw some of the people. All of a sudden I noticed their eyes.This made me laugh."Tell me about it," my father said."Eyes," I said. "We sure have got eyes, haven't we?""Very good," my father said.He began to sing, "I saw your eyes, your wonderful eyes."Pretty soon he stopped singing and began to breathe deeply."Somebody 's baking bread somewhere. Would you like some fresh bread?""I sure would."We walked to the corner, then around the corner, but we didn't find a bakery there, so we went back to where we had been, and near there we found the place, but the door was locked.My father knocked, and then we saw a man in a baker 's white coat with flour on his hands and face come to the door and open it."We open at seven," the man said. "It's not six yet.""What are you baking back there?""Bread and rolls.""How about letting me buy some? I don't often get a chance to eat freshly baked bread.""You want to come in, then?" the baker said, so my father and I went in. We followed the man to where he and his wife were baking bread. It was clean and warm back there. The metal racks had new loaves on them and new rolls."Help yourself," the baker said.My father took a loaf of French bread from among half a dozen that the baker 's wife brought out of the oven on a long wooden spade and held out to him, and then she brought him a lot of rolls on the spade. My father took half a dozen rolls, too. He gave me one, and he took a bite out of another. The big loaf he put in his coat pocket just the way it was."Sit down," the baker said. "There's some cheese over there on that little table. Help yourself."My father and I went to the little table where the baker and his wife sat and ate bread and cheese, and we sat there."Do you know the baker?""Never saw him before in my life."The baker came over and broke open a roll and put some cheese in it. I thought he was going to bite into it himself, but he handed the roll to me and said, "Always remember bread and cheese. When everything else looks bad, remember bread and cheese, and you'll be all right.""Yes, sir.""That's why I 'm a baker," he said. "I tried a lot of other things, but this is the work for me."The T rue Story of a Y oung ManWhen Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, what he wanted most was a good job with a good salary. But soon he became interestedin the civil rights movement. At present he has a plan which he hopes will take him to Congress as a southern representative.Now in his first year at Harvard Law School, Reg is making careful plans. After earning his degree, he expects to return to the South to practice law among the poor. "I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them," he says. Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was very young,. Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program. The program introduces bright young students to the workings of the Georgia State government and encourages them to seek employment there after finishing their education. "I 've been lucky," he says. "I seem to have been in the right place at the right time."But luck is only part of Reg 's story, for he has made the most of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. His grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. "I loved those books," he remembers. "I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasn't too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid."While studying for his bachelor 's degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he maintained a "B" average while majoring in political science. He worked as a student advisor to earn extra money for his college expenses, and he was granted a scholarship for a year of study at the University of Valenc ia in Spain.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg has made a good start on his professional career. He says, "The good life for me is the kind of life where I can find satisfaction in public service."A Game of Light and ShadeIt was a sunny winter day. I had gone up and down the tower, and felt pleased with myself for having taken this initiative, when, outside the little door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. He was a pale, thin man, with black hair and dark glasses that gave him a mysterious look. He kept close to the inner wall of the courtyard, touching it lightly with his arm. On reaching the door, he touched it and sharply turned inside. In a moment, he disappeared up the staircase. I stood still, looking at the empty space left by the open door, and at the little sign that said "To the Tower" nailed to the wall. I felt compelled to follow.I didn't follow closely. I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was surprised to see the attendant selling him a ticket as though he were any other visitor. The man reached outfor it clumsily, sweeping a little space of desk with his hand until he had it, but the attendant didn't seem to take any notice. Then, with the ticket in one hand and touching the wall with the fingers of the other, he reached the staircase leading to the hallway.I stood by the desk, watching him until he was out of hearing. "That man is blind," I said to the attendant, and expected him to show some concern, but he just looked at me with his sleepy eyes. He was a heavy man who seemed all one piece with his chair and desk. "He's blind," I repeated.He looked at me vacantly."What would a blind man want to climb up the tower for?" I asked.He didn't answer."Not the view certainly," I said. "Perhaps he wants to jump."His mouth opened a little. Should he do something? But his chair was too comfortable. He didn't stir. "Well, let 's hope not," he said, and looked down at a crossword puzzle he had begun.The blind man was now out of sight. I turned toward the staircase."The ticket," the attendant said, rising from his chair. It seemed the only thing that could move him.I handed him a fifty-lira piece, and he tore a ticket from his ticket book. Then I hurried up the staircase.The man hadn't gone as far as I imagined. Much less time had passed than I thought. A third of the way up the tower, I heard his step. I slowed down and followed him at a little distance. He went up slowly, and stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony, I was a dozen steps behind. But as I reached it, he wasn't to be seen. I dashed to the first corner of the bell tower, around the next, and saw him.At last, after ten minutes, I approached him. "Excuse me," I said as politely as I could, "but I am very curious to know why you came up.""You 'd never guess," he said."Not the view, I take it, or the fresh air on this winter day.""No," he said as he looked at me with an amused expression on his face."Tell me," I said.He smiled. "Perhaps, coming up the stairs, you will have noticed—and yet, not being blind, perhaps you won't—how not just light but sun pours into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that one can feel the change—the cool staircase suddenly becomes quite warm, even in winter—and how up here behind the wall there is shade, but as soon as one goes opposite a narrow window one finds the sun. In all of Sienna there is no place so good as this for feeling the contrast between light and shade. It isn't the first time that I 've come up."He stepped into the shade. "I am in the shade," he said. "There is a wall there." He moved into the sunlight. "Now I am opposite a window," he said. We went down the bell tower. "An arch is there," he said."You never miss. And the sun isn't even very strong," I said.。
