Unit 1Text 2 bill gates in his boyhood童年时期——即使成了了大人——比尔也不修边幅。

据说为了改此习惯,玛丽为他制定了一周着装计划。

周一上学他穿蓝色装,周二绿色,周三棕色,周四黑色,等等。

周末用餐时间也布置得细致入微。

每件事都要井井有条。

比尔·盖茨讨厌浪费时间,无论是在工作中或闲暇时。

在比尔家中的餐桌上讨论总是既生动又富有教育意义。

“那是个内容丰富的学习环境,”比尔回忆道。

比尔的同代人,即使是在那个年龄,都能看出他的与众不同。

每年,他和朋友们都要去夏令营。

比尔特别喜爱游泳运动等。

他的一位在夏令营的朋友回忆道,“他绝不会是个不足挂齿或无足轻重之人。

我们都晓得比尔比我们聪颖。

甚至在更早的时候,当他九、十岁时,言谈就如同成人一般他说的话有时我们感到高深莫测。

在数学和自然方面比尔比同班同学也更胜一筹。

他需要上一所对他充满挑战的学校。

随即父母决定送他去湖畔中学—一所专门招收超常男生的学校。

这是西雅图一所限制最严的学校,它以严格的课程要求而著称,是个“连哑童都聪明的”地方。

湖畔中学允许学生们按自己兴趣自由发挥,去通达他们希望的极至。

令校方骄傲的是他们所创造的环境及设施使学生们能充分发挥各自的潜能。

这是像比尔·盖茨这样学生的理想环境。

1968年,学校做出的一项决定改变了13岁的比尔·盖茨的生活——同时也改变了许多其他的人。

学校主要家长提供的资金通过一种电传打字机进入电脑——即程序数据处理机。

在电传打字机上键入几条指令,几秒钟后程序数据处理机即会反馈回信息。

比尔·盖茨当即就着了迷——他那时最要好的朋友坎特——他那时最要好的朋友坎特·埃文斯和另一名长他两岁的学生保罗·艾伦也是如此。

他们不管有没有空,都要赶到电脑室去用用那台机器。

这些学生非常专注,以至于在电脑方面的知识都超过了老师,同时因为他们的执著也带来了不少麻烦。

他们忽略了其他的课程——每项作业都迟迟才交,有时还旷课。

全新版大学英语第二版第二册Unit2课文译文及参考答案

一个疑惑不解的小孩提的一个问题促使卡尔·格林思考:虽然他没有贵重的财物,但他在其他许多方面却是富有的。

富足的一生卡尔·格林首次面对这个问题,是在2003年12月初,我第一次为救世军摇铃募捐的时候。

当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外,对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。

一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。

她在钱包里摸着找钱时,孩子抬头看了我一眼,问我:“你穷吗?”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇,时至今日仍历历在目。

“嗯,”我结结巴巴,边想边回答,“我比有些人拥有的多,但比其他人拥有的少。

”母亲因为孩子问了一个在社交上不该问的问题,训斥了他一顿,他俩便匆匆地赶去购物。

但是孩子的问题却一直在我的心头挥之不去。

我从不认为自己“穷”,但有些事我不可否认。

每当我填1040税务申报表时,我都属于收入最低的档次之一。

在过去的三十五年中,我只出去度过一次假。

我的电视机是黑白的,还是八年前别人送给我的。

然而,想要得到其他那么多人都有的物质的东西,对我来说,只不过是转瞬即逝的念头而已。

我的汽车是1999年的产品,到现在开了十万五千英里,已经很破很旧了,但是它依然可靠。

我的住房不大,但是很安静,住着挺舒心。

我的衣服很适合于我的工作,主要都在户外。

我对计算机的很少的需求,可以在图书馆得到解决。

尽管有些东西我没有,我并不感到贫穷。

这是为什么?五十三年来我一直非常健康。

我不但不生病,而且精力充沛,情绪饱满。

锻炼对我而言是确确实实的快事,我乐意长距离步行,越走越有劲。

我喜爱步行后随之产生的一种“什么都干得了”的心态。

我还十分珍惜我的创作才能。

当我写出美丽的诗句或编造出能把人逗乐的笑话时,我内心感到很富有。

通过写作而获得的洞察力,不断地令我惊奇。

而与那么多写作朋友交谈,是我乐趣的主要源泉之一。

但是在我生活中,有一个重要方面我并不那么富有。

在一个对物资财富的追求投入如此之多心力的社会中,我觉得很不自在。

But there is one thing everyone remembers about the 1960s: Going to college was the most exciting and stimulating experience of your life.In the 1960s, California's colleges and universities had transformed the state into the world's seventh largest economy. However, Berkeley, the University of California's main campus, was also well-known for its student demonstrations and strikes, and its atmosphere of political radicalism. When Ronald Reagan ran for office as governor of California in 1966, he asked if Californians would allow "a great university to be brought to its knees by a noisy, dissident minority". The liberals replied that it was the ability to tolerate noisy, dissident minorities which made universities great.On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. Much of the protest was about the Vietnam War. But in France, the students of the Sorbonne in Paris managed to form an alliancewith the trade unions and to launch a general strike, which ultimately brought about the resignation of President de Gaulle.It wasn't just the activism that characterized student life in the 1960s. Everywhere, going to college meant your first taste of real freedom, of late nights in the dorm or in the Junior Common Room, discussing the meaning of life. You used to have to go to college to read your first forbidden book, see your first indie film, or find someone who shared your passion, for Jimi Hendrix or Lenny Bruce. It was a moment of unimaginable freedom, the most liberating in your life:But where's the passion today? What's the matter with college? These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course, it's true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics). Yet college education is no longer a topic of great national importance. T oday, college is seen as a kind of small town from which people are keen to escape. Some people drop out, but the most apathetic stay the course because it's too much effort to leave.Instead of the heady atmosphere of freedom which students in the1960s discovered, students today are much more serious. The British Council has recently done research into the factors which help international students decide where to study. In descending order these are: quality of courses, employability prospects, affordability, personal security issues, lifestyle, and accessibility. College has become a means to an end, an opportunity to increase one's chances on the employmentmarket, and not an end in itself, which gives you the chance to imagine, just for a short while, that you can change the world.The gap between childhood and college has shrunk, and so has the gap between college and the real world. One of the reasons may be financial. In an uncertain world, many children rely on their parents' support much longer than they used to. Students leaving university in the 21st century simply cannot afford to set up their own home because it's too expensive. Another possible reason is the communications revolution. Gone are the days when a son or daughter rang home once or twice a term. Today students are umbilically linked to their parents by their cell phones. And as for finding like-minded friends to share a passion for obscure literature or music, well, we have the Internet and chat rooms to help us do that."Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven!"Wordsworth may have written these lines about the French Revolution; but they were also true for the students of the 1960s. So why aren't they true for the students of today?有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

中国科学院大学研究生学术英语读写教程课文翻译Jan Hendrik Schon's success seemed too good to be true, and it was. In only four years as aphysicist at Bell Laboratories, Schon,32, hadco-authored 90 scientific papers—one every16 days—detailing new discoveries in superconductivity,lasers,nanotechnology andquantum physics. This output astonished his colleagues, and made them suspicious. Whenone co-worker noticed that the same table of data appeared in two separate papers—whichalso happened to appear in the two most prestigious scientific journals in the world, Scienceand Nature-the jig was up. In October 2002, a Bell Labs investigation found that Schon hadfalsified and fabricated data. His career as a scientist was finished.lf it sounds a lot like the fall of Hwang Woo Suk—the South Korean researcher whofabricated his evidence about cloning human cells—it is. Scientific scandals,which are asold as science itself, tend to follow similar patterns of hubris and comeuppance.Afterwards,colleagues wring their hands and wonder how such malfeasance can be avoided in thefuture. But it never is entirely.Science is built on the honor system; the method ofpeer-review, in which manuscripts are evaluated by experts in the field,is not meant tocatch cheats. In recent years,of course,the pressure on scientists to publish in the topjournals has increased, making the journals that much more crucial to career success. Thequestions raised anew byHwang's fall are whether Nature and Science have become toopowerful as arbiters of what science reaches the public, and whether the journals are up totheir task as gatekeepers.Each scientific specialty has its own set of journals. Physicists have Physical ReviewLetters,cell biologists have Cell,neuroscientists have Neuron, and so forth.Science andNature,though,are the only two major journals that cover the gamut of scientificdisciplines,from meteorology and zoology to quantum physics and chemistry.As a result,journalists look to them each week for the cream of the crop of new science papers. Andscientists look to the journals in part to reach journalists. Why do they care?Competitionfor grants has gotten so fierce that scientists have sought popular renown to gain an edgeover their rivals. Publication in specialized journals will win the accolades of academicsand satisfy the publish-or-perish imperative, but Science and Nature come with the addedbonus of potentially getting your paper written up in The New York Times and otherpublications.Scientists are also trying to reach other scientists through Science and Nature, not just thepublic.The line between popular and professional notoriety is not distinct. Scientists tendto pay more attention to the Big Two than to other journals. When more scientists knowabout a particular paper, they're more apt to cite it in their own papers. Being oft-citedwillincrease a scientist's "Impact Factor", a measure of how often papers are cited by peers.Funding agencies use the Impact Factor as a rough measure of the influence of scientiststhey're considering supporting.Because Nature and Science papers have more visibility, thenumber of submissions is growing, say the editors. Nature now gets 10,000 manuscripts ayear,and that figure is rising, says editor-in-chief Phiip Campbell via email. "This partlyreflects the increase in scientific activity around the world," he says. "It also no doubtreflects the increasing and sometimes excessive emphasis amongst funding agencies andgovernments on publication measures, such as the typical rates of citation of journals."Whatever the reasons, the whims of the editors at Science and Nature loom large for manyscientists. When either magazine is considering a paper for publication, the authors are toldnot to speak to the press lest they want to risk rejection."Every scientists hates them andloves them," says a prominent scientist who would not speak for attribution for fear ofoffending the editors. "We hate them because it's so political to get an article in them.Frankly I'm astonished at some of the things they accept,and some of the things theyreject."Whether the clamor to appear in these journals has any bearing on their ability to catchfraud is another matter. The fact is,fraud is terrifically hard to spot.Consider the processScience used to evaluate Hwang's 2005article. Science editors recognized the manuscript'simport almost as soon as it arrived.As part of the standard procedure, they sent it to twomembers of its Board of Reviewing Editors,who recommended that it go out for peerreview (about 30 percent of manuscripts pass this test). This recommendation was made。

UNIT 1:Active reading(1):大学已经不再特别了有这么一种说法:“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情,你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。

”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人,这话可能是真的。

但是,20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得,那就是:上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。

20世纪60年代,加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。

然而,加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。

1966年,罗纳德•里根竞选加州州长,他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。

”自由派人士回答说,大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。

在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。

许多抗议是针对越南战争的。

可是在法国,巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟,发动了一场大罢工,最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。

20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。

不论在什么地方,上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味,初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。

你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书,看你的第一部独立影人电影,或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米•亨德里克斯或兰尼•布鲁斯的志同道合者。

那是一段难以想象的自由时光,你一生中最无拘无束的时光。

可如今那份激情哪儿去了?大学怎么了?现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破其阻力才发生的。

当然,一点不假,高等教育仍然重要。

例如,在英国,布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50%的30岁以下的人上大学的目标(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。

不过,大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。

如今,大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。

有些人辍学,但大多数已经有些麻木,还是坚持混到毕业,因为离开学校实在是太费事了。

Unit 1 Learning, Chinese-Style中国式的学习风格Howard Gardner 霍华德•加德纳1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

新视野大学英语第二版第二册课文原文Unit1A foreigner's first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. City people always appear o be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain appropriate point.外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是:每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

Unit 1A heated discussion about whether men are braver than women is settled in a rather unexpected way.The dinner partyMona GardnerI first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true -- though any naturalist would know it couldn't be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down.The country is India. A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests -- officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist -- in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda.A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't."A woman's reaction in any crisis," the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts."The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters -- the likeliest place -- but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are waiting to serve the next course. There is only one place left -- under the table.His first impulse is to jump back and warn the others, but he knows the commotion would frighten the cobra into striking. He speaks quickly, the tone of his voice so commanding that it silences everyone."I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three hundred -- that's five minutes -- and not one of you is to move a muscle. Those who move will forfeit 50 rupees. Ready?"The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying "...two hundred and eighty..." when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the cobra emerge and make for the bowl of milk. Screams ring out as he jumps to slam the veranda doors safely shut."You were right, Major!" the host exclaims. "A man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.""Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess. "Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?"A faint smile lights up the woman's face as she replies: "Because it was crawling across my foot."关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了。

1.防震房屋日本的大多数建造于1980年建筑规范最后一次重大修改之后的房屋和商业建筑到现在仍然完好无损。

但8万多座旧建筑遭受严重破坏。

政府已经承诺对新建筑物采取更严格的标准,但眼前的挑战是如何改善现有的结构。

旧金山EQE国际公司副总裁Charles Scawthorn 专门研究抗震工程,他说:“这是地震危险问题的真正核心。

”当大地震发生时,Scawthorn碰巧在大阪,并且在接下来的几天中调查了神户的灾情。

他所看到的让他相信,相对简单的预防措施可以防止最常见的损坏形式:建筑物的屋顶和上层楼层撞击到较低的楼层。

这样的“煎饼”坍塌造成的死亡占据了神户5,090人死亡的90%。

日本的老房子通常在离地半米左右的木架上。

Scawthorn说:“就好像房子站在高跷上一样,在地震中木架崩塌,房屋倒塌。

放置好的胶合板支撑结合钢筋膨胀螺栓将房屋固定在水泥基础上可以保持地基完整。

Scawthorn说,在传统的日本房子里,一楼缺乏可以帮助支撑二楼重量的内墙,而西方房屋的内墙则能支撑二层楼的重量; 在日本,房间经常被脆弱的滑动屏障隔开。

scawthorm 的建议是在外墙上放置一些钢支撑,并加固一到两个内墙,这样它们可以帮助承担第二层的重量。

“最后,”他说,“我会把那些沉重的瓷砖从屋顶上移开,并用现在日本现有的轻质塑料替代它们。

总而言之,加强典型日本房屋所需的工作和材料可能需要2万美元。

在神户市中心的许多旧建筑物,大部分都是用钢筋混凝土建造而成的,会遭遇煎饼状的坍塌。

在这种情况下,这种应对方法增加了使得内部加强,通常是用永久的承重墙取代现有的一些房间隔板。

在日本,改造翻新建筑物使其幸免于一次又一次大地震的做法仍然少见。

不过,在神户的悲剧后,这种做法也许会更加普遍。

2.官方语言到美国的移民接近创纪录的水平,因此当前将英语作为官方语言的兴趣并不令人意外。

自二十世纪的头十年以来,还没有这么多人进入美国。

更重要的是,外国出生人口的比例(约8.7%)高于1940年以来的任何时间。

美国人口普查数据显示,美国人口中有47%是外国出生人口,数量显着高于千万人,“不会很好”或“根本不会说英语”。

西班牙语使用者占这些非英语使用者的绝大多数,西班牙语是加利福尼亚州,亚利桑那州,新墨西哥州和德克萨斯州以及其他地区许多城市社区大部分地区的主要语言。

但是说西班牙语的这些人并不会因为在美国没有说英语而觉得被孤立起来。

这千万人口中也由克里奥尔人,波斯人,中国人,韩国人,越南人,俄罗斯人以及在西方保留的许多美洲土著语言的人组成的。

使英文成为官方语言的主要后果是所有官方政府文件,如选举选票或税务表格,都只能用英文印刷。

双语教育基金也将结束。

支持者表示,这将鼓励移民更快地学习英语。

他们认为,说英语不好的移民与美国主流经济脱钩,而因此注定要靠国家的慷慨救济而生活。

英语作为官方语言的反对者认为,双语教育是帮助外籍美国人同化的更现实,更长效的解决方案。

他们引用统计数据显示,无论种族背景如何,美国移民的孩子都倾向于学习英语并努力走向主流经济。

他们认为,这是美国本土出生的黑人人口滞后。

这个问题似乎归结为:如果政府停止双语教育,并坚持让移民以英文驾驶考试,那么各种的人口是否会分化还是团结?不幸的是,这个问题没有确凿的数据。

3.危险从前的黑帮电影通常会有“死路一条”的威胁恐吓。

今天以及最近的多年来,单向骑行对现实生活中的年轻人是一种威胁。

据观察,所有类型的交通事故对儿童构成了头号生命威胁。

现在让我们回到这个危险,将我们的注意力完全集中在汽车上。

尽管任何年龄段的人都不能完全免于患致命疾病,不过相对而言年轻人还是易于避免一些。

此外,某些类型的事故在这个时期尤其罕见。

例如,在美国,火灾每年约造成7000人死亡,但儿童和老人是最容易遭受这种意外死亡的人。

年轻的成年人,也许是因为他们更敏捷,因火灾而死亡的比率相对较低。

然而,汽车事故会造成巨大损失。

据Metropolitan Life报道,二十至二十四岁年龄段的事故中有四分之三涉及汽车,这是迄今为止人们驾驶或乘坐汽车时发生的最多人数。

无论是癌症还是心脏病,即在这个年龄段最常见的危及生命的两种症状,它们所导致的死亡都远不及机动车事故所造成的死亡人数。

每有一个二十出头死于癌症的人来说,就有十人死于车祸; 每有一个因心脏病死亡,就有二十五人死在车里。

值得补充的是,机动车死亡率在二十至二十四岁之间的高峰之后开始明显下降。

也许这与在一个生命周期的各个阶段出现临时漏洞的可能性有关。

换句话说,一个人在某些方面,在人生的某段限定的时间里,也许会有“易出事故的倾向”。

如果他在这个特别危险的时期生存下来,那么这个漏洞可能会大大减少。

无论死亡事故数字背后的原因是什么,很难忽略这样一个事实,即机器(通常还有酒精)攸关人的生死,而这种关系使得大部分年轻人丧命。

我们都听到了关于高速公路安全的布道以及为减少死亡人数而提出的许多建议。

我只是在这里陈述事实。

4.数学人们记住数学失败的第一件事就是感觉像是猝死。

无论事件是在六年级学习“单词问题”时发生的,是在高中时应付方程式,还是在大学中首次面对微积分和统计时,失败突然以非常可怕的方式出现。

一个想法或一个新的操作不仅困难,而且不可能!而且,大多数人并没有慢慢地提出问题或吸取教训,而是记得有一种感觉,他们绝不会在数学上进一步发展。

如果我们假定课程是合理的,新概念只是截下来一系列可以学会的概念中的一个,那么这种彻底的挫败感便毫无道理; 但“数学焦虑”的大学生和成年人都表示,无论老师给他们放心多少,他们都无法克服这种感觉。

关于学习数学能力的本质的一个普遍的谬论是,一个人要么有数学头脑,要么没有。

对于做高级研究的人来说,数学想象力和把握数学规律的直觉是必须的,但是为什么那些能在其他科目做到大学水平的人,却不能做大学水平的数学工作呢?学习速度是会变化的,不同时间压力下的能力也不同。

当然,低自尊会出现。

但是,能够成功学习数学,学生需要“数学思维”的证据在哪里?由于这个谬论的影响。

既然只有少数人应该拥有这种数学思维,所以面对我们学习数学的困难时,让我们变得如此被动的部分原因是,我们怀疑我们可能不是“他们”之一,而且我们花时间就是一直等待我们没有数学思维被暴露的那一天。

由于我们的极限将会最终达到,我们认为没有必要有条不紊或注意细节。

当我们攻克分数,单词问题或几何问题时,我们感激不尽。

如果某一时刻的失败还没有到来,那只会暂时推迟。

5.美国戏剧虽然尚未得到令人满意解释的原因,但是美国戏剧到达成熟的速度比小说或诗歌慢。

许多评论家和文学史家评论说,和美国其他类型的文学艺术相比,19世纪的美国喜剧相对缺乏质量和完整性,不仅如此,它还缺乏民族原创性,旨在“本地特色”和民俗上有些肤浅的兴趣,这些“本地特色”和民俗被认为是美国人特有的。

这个世纪诞生的霍桑,坡,惠特曼,梭罗和马克吐温可以吹嘘没有可比性的剧作家。

克拉克说:“读了上百篇幸存下来的19世纪的喜剧后,似乎那些最好的戏剧是或多或少的天才儿童的作品,这些儿童生活在一个自从1620年就没有了思想的世界里。

”戏剧和严肃文学之间的鸿沟一直持续到二十世纪,实际上知道第一次世界大战以后,他们之间的差异才得到有效的补充。

如果可以为现代美国戏剧的开始指定一个大致的日期,那么它就是1920年,o'neill超越地平线的那一年以及剧院协会成立的大概时代。

当人们想起1895年发行的红色勇气徽章和1897年的罗宾逊儿童之夜时,可以看出美国戏剧的发展滞后于小说和诗歌。

19世纪美国戏剧面临的具体困难是:(a)它没有比单纯娱乐更高的宗旨,因此过于频繁地退化为纯粹的情绪; (b)当它有一个严肃的目的时,它往往通过直接的情感传达它的信息,而不是通过一些更加巧妙的戏剧性的技术; (c)该时代的剧院是以演员为中心而不是以作家为中心的,因此戏剧本身往往被认为仅仅是展示著名演员戏剧演员的“载体”。

6.无根美国人是无根的人。

每年我们六分之一的人会搬家,四分之一的人会换工作。

看到这些统计数字我们没有不安。

对于我们大多数人来说,它们仅仅反映了让美国变得美好的不安分的能量。

毫不意外的是,一个移民国家会推崇那些敢于冒险和积极进取的人:拓荒者,牛仔,企业家和企业掠夺者。

扎根下来从来都不是美国政府的公共政策的目标。

在20世纪50年代和60年代,地方政府以城市重建的名义平整了数百个城市内的居民区。

在20世纪60年代和70年代,法院下令的巴士迫使成千上万的儿童放弃邻里学校,声称是为了种族和谐。

在20世纪80年代,恶意收购浪潮搅乱了数千亿美元的企业资产,这些都是为了追求经济效益。

数以千计的曾经在全国范围内孕育社区的非正式聚会地点已经消失。

苏打喷泉和午餐柜台不见了。

分支图书馆也即将绝迹。

甚至连社区酒吧的数量也在下降。

在20世纪40年代,90%的啤酒和烈酒都在公共场所消费。

现在只有30%。

这种对美国公共生活的私有化对海外游客来说是最明显的“在这里过了四年,我仍然感觉比在世界上任何其他地方都更像一个外国人,”一位擅长旅行的女士告诉雷奥登堡,他是“好地方”这本关于公共聚集景点的绝妙新书的作者,“各家庭之间没有联系,我们很少看到邻居,当然也不了解他们中的任何一个。

在大多数美国城市,分区法禁止将商业区和住宅区混杂。

结果是过度依赖汽车。

奥尔登堡引用了一位住在维也纳一间小房子和一间洛杉矶大房子的经历:“在洛杉矶,我们为了拜访朋友或是参加文化或娱乐活动而离开安定的家都会犹豫,因为每次远行都会涉及到大量的时间跟经历投入到长途驾驶中。

在维也纳,一切- 歌剧院,剧院,商店,咖啡馆都在步行距离之内。

7. 一个人类的悲剧在圣诞节前五天,从迈阿密到哥伦比亚卡利的美国航空公司应该是平凡不过的。

在首席执行官罗伯特克兰德尔的领导下,该航空公司已经建立了航空业务中最好的安全记录之一。

这架波音757飞机主要服务于哥伦比亚的乘客回家度假,其安全性能几乎完美无缺,飞行员和副驾驶也是如此。

天气也很晴。

然而,尽管有这些理想的条件,965飞机撞上了一座12000英尺高的山峰,造成160人死亡。

上周调查人员通过残骸进行详细审查时,初步调查结果显示,飞行员失误可能是导致了事故的发生的原因。

还有报告称哥伦比亚空中交通管制员与机组人员之间可能存在沟通不畅。

记录的驾驶舱对话表明,当飞机靠近目的地时,就迷路了。

飞行员应该在离卡利大约40英里的无线电信号灯上安装自动导航系统,但似乎他们没有这样做,直到飞机通过了信标。

很明显,这架飞机在自动驾驶仪上向左倾斜。

机组人员试图纠正右倾,然而飞机和机场之间有一座山。

在飞机坠毁前九秒,一个警告系统告诉飞行员地面正在上升。

7秒钟后,机组人员将发动机发射升空,但机翼上的空气阻力器因为着陆时阻力更大而未能收回。

无法抵消阻力,757撞上了山峰。
