2023年大学英语精读第三册第3课Why,I,Teach,3篇大学英语精读第三册第3课Why I Teach1Every teacher probably asks himself time and again: What are the reasons for choosing teaching as a career? Do the rewards teaching outweigh the trying ments? Answering these questions is not a simple task. Let“s see what the author says.Why I TeachPeter G. BeidlerWhy do you teach? My friend asked the question when I told him that I didn"t want to be considered for an administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a "step up" toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.Certainly I don"t teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of the various ways I have attempted to earn my living: mechanic, carpenter, writer. For me, teaching is a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach no matter how late I stay up preparing. Sweaty-palm, because I"m always nervous before I enter the classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool that I am. Sinking-stomach, because I leave the classroom an hourlater convinced that I was even more boring than usual.Nor do I teach because I think I know answers, or because I have knowledge I feel pelled to share. Sometimes I am amazed that my students actually take notes on what I say in class!Why, then, do I teach?I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July, and August offer an opportunity for reflection, research and writing.I teach because teaching is a profession built on change. When the material is the same, I change —— and, more important, my students change.I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As a teacher, I"m my own boss. If I want my freshmen to learn to write by creating their own textbook, who is to say I can"t? Such courses may be huge failures, but we can all learn from failures.I teach because I like to ask questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. While teaching, I sometimes find good questions.I teach because I enjoy finding ways of getting myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. I once taught a course called "Self-Reliance in a Technological Society." My 15 students read Emerson, Thoreau, and Huxley. They kept diaries. They wrote termpapers.But we also set up a corporation, borrowed money, purchased a run-down house and practiced self-reliance by renovating it. At the end of the semester, we would the house, repaid our loan, paid or taxes, and distributed the profits among the group.So teaching gives me pace, and variety, and challenge, and the opportunity to keep on learning.I have left out, however, the most important reasons why I teach.One is Vicky. My first doctoral student, Vicky was an energetic student who labored at her dissertation on a little-known 14th century poet. She wrote articles and sent them off to learned journals. She did it all herself, with an occasional nudge from me. But I was there when she finished her dissertation, learned that her articles were accepted, got a job and won a fellowship to Harvard working on a book developing ideas she"d first had as my student.Another reason is George, who started as an engineering student, then switched to English because he decided he liked people better than things.There is Jeanne, who left college, but was brought back by her classmates because they wanted her to see the end of the self-reliance house project. I was here when she came back. I was there when she told me that she later became interested in the urban poor and went on to e acivil rights lawyer.There is Jacqui, a cleaning woman who knows more by intuition than most of us learn by *ysis. Jacqui has decided to finish high school and go to college.These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.A "promotion" out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking question like, "What is the point of being rich?"And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power *?But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher"s life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word: magic might be better.I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.大学英语精读第三册第3课Why I Teach2administrativea. of the management of affairs 行政的，管理的administrationn. 管理(部门)，行政(机关)puzzlevt. fill with doubt and confusion 使迷惑step (-) upn. promotion; increase in size, speed, etc.mechanicn. skilled workman, esp. one who uses or repairs machines and tools 机械工;机修工sweatya. covered with sweat, sweatingpalma. 手掌professionn. occupation, esp. one requiring special training, such as law, medicine, or teachingconvincevt. make (sb.) feel certain; cause (sb.) to realizepelvt. force (sb. or sth. to do sth.)pacen. rate or speed of development, or in walking, etc. 速度;步速calendarn. 日程表，日历opportunityn. favourable occasion or chancereflectionn. careful thinking; consideration 深思;考虑reflect vi.stimulatevt. encourage; excite 刺激;激励freshmann. student in his first year at a college or universityfailuren. a person, attempt, or thing that fails; lack of successivoryn. 象牙ivory towern. place or condition of retreat from the world of action into a world of ideas and dreams 象牙塔self-reliancen. ability to do things and make decisions by oneself 依靠自己;自力更生reliancen. trust, confidence; dependence 信赖;信心;依靠technologicala. of or related to technology 技术的corporationn.

大学英语精读3课后写作In what way do you think college is a time of growth and expansion
张楚雪Victoria 翻译班P19 WritingIn what way do you think college is a time of growth and expansion?Everybody says that going to college means leaving your comfort zone ,which symbolized saying goodbye to your most familiar things, father and mother, close friends, lovey home, every place you could pointed clearly on the map and a carefree lifestyle. Almost all the information you could get from diverse media are telling you learn to be independent and win a place in the new city. Obviously, I believe the popular theory as my life philosophy. And even at the first national holiday after leaving home, I firmly rejected the suggestion of my mom that she would flied to see me. On the contrary, I told her that I was going to make a full use of this time and set basis for rooting in this city in the future.While after a whole college year, things happened to me make a change on the original ideas.At first, I had to admit, I did spend a very enjoyable time in the first semester. Meeting new friends coming from all over the coun try, join student’s hobby associations, participating in the most popular activities in the school and starting to set my steps in the capital of China, the city I always dreamed about traveling in. College did brings to me countless for-the-first-time exp erience and unprecedented expansion And gradually, I was not willing to answer my mother’s phone call because I thought I completely get out of the control of her and it’s no need to share my story with her.Soon, life proved how stupid I was at that time.Last summer holiday, I stayed in Korea for one and half a month as teenager volunteer. During this time, I had to arrange the accommodation, transportation, hard relationships with foreign volunteers and stand long-time discomfort in a strange place wher e I couldn’t understand local language. Everyday life was coming like a struggle for me, let alone our internal dissension and sharp conflict with mean house-owner. We were forced to move home three times in one week. In this terrible week, I walked alone in the pouring rain carrying all my heavy baggage and took more than twenty subway stations. One week before flying back to China, I couldn’t help but cry desperately in the phone call to my mom and told her I missed home so much for the first time. So wei rd, I’ve experience so many for-the-first-time things, but that’s my first time talking about miss to the people who are closest to me.Actually, the experience in Korea is just the prelude to the real society, and compared to which, life at Beihang University is simply romantic symphonies. How self-righteous and self-willed I once was, and how proud and childish I became, thinking everything around my hand and despise the love and care from my parents. I wasn’t aware of how precious it is.People talking about the growth and expansion as opening up and adventure in the new world, but I regard it as when I walking further and further in my way, I will always remember to look back. And whenever I turn my head, I will find my parents looking at me, supporting me and loving me. And I think that’s what I learn after leaving home. Similar to role converse, I am no longer the little girl who is waiting to be cared and enjoy love unilaterally, but a mature younger generation who knows gratitude, tenderness and give more love back.To be independent is good, but you don’t have to bury all your past and give up the people who you love. After all, you are not alone in this world.。

大学英语精读第三版第二册作文范文English:The importance of environmental protection cannot be overstated. In recent years, the accelerating pace of industrialization and urbanization has led to significant damage to the environment, including air pollution, water contamination, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. As a result, it is crucial for individuals, communities, and governments to take proactive measures to protect and preserve the natural world for future generations. This can be achieved through actions such as reducing carbon emissions, conserving water and energy, advocating for sustainable practices, and supporting policies that prioritize environmental conservation. Additionally, raising public awareness about the urgency of environmental protection and promoting eco-friendly lifestyles can also contribute to a healthier and more sustainable planet.中文翻译:环境保护的重要性不言而喻。
精读3作文(现代大学英语)外研社第二版
1.Unit 1In my opinion, I agree that college is a time of growth and expansion. We students go to college from high school to acquire further knowledge. Look back, when I stepped into the campus, I knew little about the college. But now I am mature.Before we entered the college, we depended on our parents. Although we cannot completely be independent from our parents, we have been young adult and we have been independent from our parents in some aspects. Also, we start to have our own values and beliefs. W e don’t just follow our parents’ thoughts any more. We have grown.As we all know, in college class, every student has chances to deliver speeches and make presentation in front of others, which requests us to do preparing work adequately and learn to be confident. And I think this is one kind of growth .Apart from study, there is also club work. We won’t forget the student union. The work experiences in it, makes me realize how important the communicating skills and the ability of group work are.Besides, entering the college widen our views. We meet lots of different people from different cultures. Our circle of friends is expanding and we have more and more friends from different places. Of course, we can receive much new knowledge and we are changing our way of learning through realizing new things. After the college education, most of us will be more mature and be able to deal with complicated situations well.So, I agree that college is a time of growth and expansion.2. unit 2The book that I think has influenced me most is the novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway, a famous writer of U.S.A. I admire the old fisherman's will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit so that he will succeed .What the novel describes is an old fisherman who is almost sixty years old. When he went to the sea and fished alone once, he had angled to a big Marlin fish. But the big Marlin fish attracted odd herds of sharks, but the old man was still unwilling to give up, and thought that : It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, so we should be as ambitious as this old man, and go to pursue greater goal.I admire the unremitting spirit very much. Though knowing rival's strength is very strong , he has not shrunk back at all but meets the difficulty.Old fisherman's spirit that makes great efforts to struggle without fear of danger and difficulty has a claim to our respect. We should be like him, be positive, be unremitting to do anything, not be satisfied with the current situation, and not give up halfway to difficulty. Only in this way, could we obtain greater success and victory .3. unit 3Six years ago, Vera broke off with the man. I think it is because the man’s egotism. He was young, strong, financially secure, fond of traveling like he was, and above all, madly in love with her. But she decided to end this relationship because he was too egotistical and self-engrossed. And he was so wrapped up in himself that he hadn’t a corner in his heart for anybody else.Now six years later, she still has the opportunity to renew their relationship. She is alone andlonely, and he is successful and financially able to help her realize her dreams. Yet she leaves him again because she recognizes that he has not changed. Firstly, she said she hated the cold weather, “and the worst of it is that the older one grows”, the man interrupted her. And later he asked her “you were saying—the older one grows”, he was so impolite to her. Secondly, when he asked her if she still remembered that they used to talk of going there, he gave a strange half laugh and leaned back in his chair. This behavior is disrespectful. Thirdly, when he said, “when you look at me with those wild eyes I feel that I could tell you things that I would never breathe to another human being.” , there seems to be a hint of mockery in his voice. Those all indicate that the man is still egotistical.So I think she came to realize that it was impossible to pick up their relationship when they met again through these.4. unit 4Diogenes is said to have had an interview with Alexander the Great, who opened the conversation with “I am Alexander the Great.” The philosopher answered, “And I am Diogenes the Cynic.” Alexander then asked him what things he can do for him, “Stand to one side. You are blocking the sunlight.” the philosopher replied. Alexander is said to have been so struck with the Cynic’s self-possession that he went away remarking, “If I were not Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes.”Alexander is no doubt the perfect model of a superman, he is everything but Diogenes is not. When Alexander asked Diogenes whether there was anything he could do for him, he of course was thinking of money, power, a job, a decent house or a warm garment. But Diogenes did not want any of these. What he wanted from the king was not to block the sunlight, not to interfere with his life, not to stand in his way.Diogenes made his philosophy —"natural life" spread throughout Greece, and Alexander bring Greek civilization to the whole world. So Alexander was what Diogenes called himself, a cosmopolites, "citizen of the world ". Like Diogenes, he admired the heroic figure of Hercules, the mighty conqueror who labors to help mankind while all others toil and sweat only for themselves. He knew that of all men then alive in the world only Alexander the conqueror and Diogenes the beggar were truly free.Alexander is free because he has the power to satisfy people’s desires, so he asked Diogenes what things he can do for him. But Diogenes is also free because he does not have any of those desires. And I think it is the same reason that Alexander said that if he were not Alexander, he should be Diogenes.5. unit 5I think the abuse of chemical pesticides is widespread today. This article described the environment degradation in the United States, but this problem is usually much more serious in developing countries. The abuse of chemical pesticides seems caught up in an endless spiral. The insects have evolved super races immune to the particular insecticide used, hence human will develop a deadlier one than that. And the chemical pesticides pollute rivers and lakes, cause frequent acid rains and so on. There are also other environment problems, such as sand storms, soil erosion, desertification, deforestation and over-fishing, and the list is far from complete.So we should have a sense of urgency as well as a strong sense of duty to contribute to thesolution of this problem. We must do everything possible to keep our water and air clean, to protect our land and soil, to preserve our forests, rivers and lakes, marshland, wilderness, to stop the global warming and to save the endangered species.When it comes to keeping away from contaminated food, firstly, we should let people recognize that we ought not to develop our economy at the expense of our ecosystem, namely strengthen people’s environmental awareness. Secondly, we college students can make suggestions to some industries on how to deal with the waste water and materials. Finally, we also can do some researches or develop some methods to help purify the contaminated things. All in all, we should do everything in our power.6. unit 6Drugs become more and more accessible to people nowadays and cause several problems. As far as I am concerned, they can be solved from two respects.On account of the serious situation now, I think our government should limit the drugs and severely crack down on drug crimes. Criminalization may be a quick and efficient means to work it out, cracking down on users, pushers and producers and imposing stiff sanctions against property. Some people think taking drugs is a form of recreation, so I think government can rising the price of drugs by limiting drugs. Once the expense is higher than the benefits and the amusement offered by drugs, they may reconsider and begin searching for cheap forms of recreation.On the other hand, if we want to eliminate drugs to root, there is essential need for a powerful method that takes into effect in a long term. The government can educate people to keep away from the drugs in many ways. Deglamorization is absolutely the suitable process for us to put into practice. For a long time, taking drugs has been regarded as a fashion among young adults, owing to the impression of attraction and charm projected by TV ads. We can ban this sort of advertisement while encouraging society to present this drug-taking as a confession of weakness, panic and anxiety, which are not what they want to show or even what they hate.With the two approaches working together, the drug problems can be handled well. And we are supposed to call for the government and the whole society to support the drugs’ blue sky by their arms!7. unit 8Nowadays, China has already stepped into an aging society according to international standards. And people will meet many difficulties in their everyday life when getting old. Common problems for senior citizens are poor health, inconvenient public facilities, and loneliness. So family care, community-based services and social welfare are necessary to help our old population in helping and supporting their lives.Firstly, young people are busy with their work everyday, and they don’t have time to take care of them, it means that if their parents feel uncomfortable, there is no body else know this. So it is necessary for old people to go to hospital frequently, and they may choose take public transport to go there, and this will involve the problem about inconvenient public facilities. When people get older, it is likely for them to walk with difficulty. And many places don’t have convenient public facilities, so it will cause old people lost their footing and were precipitated to the ground. Thirdly , old people will feel lonely. Though young people can try their best to satisfy parents’ desires asmany as possible, old people’s spiritual fulfillment can’t be satisfied. So young couples may pay more visits to their parents' homes during weekends and holidays. The young can also help the old more in public，offering seats on buses, for example. Additionally, rural pension is a major problem now facing China society, low coverage of social pension is serious.However, the most important thing to help the old is that the society should consider more for senior citizens. We should build up more rest homes, hospitals, and entertainment centers with high-grade service specially for old people.8. unit 9Globalization has positive and negative effects.First of all, I will talk about the positive effects. Globalization for developing countries is an opportunity. For example, in 1970s, China was undeveloped economically and culturally. In the context of globalization, China carri ed a policy named “reform and opening up”. Using this policy, China spent ten years to make the gross national production higher and make people get higher. Also, one of the most visible positive effects of globalization is the improved quality of products due to global competition. Customer service and “the customer is the king” have led to improved quality of products and services. And the most powerful positive effects of globalization on women and men both is the spread of education. Today, you can search the best education facilities in the world and move to there. A person living in the US can even go to another continent for a new experience and some courses which one may not find in the home country.It does will know that globalization is a trend and every country. But there also are negative effects.First, rich and poor countries experience effects from the globalization. However the key is that in this background the rich countries become richer and the poor countries become poorer. It means that the benefits of globalization is not universal. Second, globalization damages the local environment. The global trade liberalization has accelerated the consumption of global resources and it direct threat to the Earth's biological diversity system. Third, globalization makes the world economy instable. In the background of globalization, countries have a close economic links, so if one country's economic system had problems and it will be linked to other related countries, so the joint-relationship is inevitable.G lobalization has brought more positive changes to individual’s lives, even if it has many negatives, but in fact, people can not separable from globalization.9. unit 10The role Lincoln played in bringing the war to a close is a spiritual pillar, a martial leader.First of all, the North bourgeoisie and people that Lincoln led fought against the south. He was always the representative of justice and the direction of popular feeling. The Lincoln administration took measures, and arouse the enthusiasm of people. As Lincoln said, the war broke out because the American people had become proud and forgot God’s mission. It was a lesson God wanted them to learn. Therefore there were no losers in this war. All Americans had won. They had all achieved a rebirth. So I think Lincoln was a spiritual pillar in people’s hearts. Also, Lincoln was a martial leader. When the northern army encountered a crushing defeat, many people at home required to stop the war, but Lincoln strained every nerve to inspire soldiers to fight bravely by using his Attic faith of victory. And in the address at Cettysburg, Lincoln said,“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Lincoln had an eye for military decision, and had flexible Political and military strategies, and he solved the crisis successfully.So I think the role Lincoln played in bringing the war to a close is a spiritual pillar, a martial leader.10. unit 11How history should be taught at school depends on what teachers hope students to acquire from history study. Many students think history is great bu t they don’t like history lessons. So I think history should be taught freely, not give them others comments, but let themselves to think by themselves.Now our history are taught like this: teachers spend much time on preparing lessons, they are leading roles in class, and that students listen to them carefully is enough. Our students get history by teacher telling them, but not they explore by themselves.We can compare our history teaching with Germans and Americans. As for Germans, if they learn The Franco-Prussian War, their teacher will require them read much first hand information. For example, the speech text of Bismarck. Teachers will require them discuss the foreign policy that Prussia used at that time through the speech text, and analyze the true breaking reason of The Franco-Prussian War. As for Americans, teachers only tell students the happening, the development and the process, and not judge the event subjectively, though it is about those important events like the second world war, students judge the history responsibility by themselves.So we can get two points from the two countries, and our history lessons should be also taught like this. Firstly, let students contact with original documents directly. This first hand information is good for us cognize history. Secondly, teachers should give more weight to develop the independent thinking and judging ability of students. Thirdly, teach students to feel with themselves in history events. History is about human beings, so any important events are connected with the survival conditions of human, so we need get close to human feelings by history lessons.Only in this way that history is taught, can history lessons work really.11. unit 12The fiction the most dangerous game using the minute description about Rainsford and the general Zaroff, shows adventurous scenes to people, and speaks highly of the spirits that Rainsford showed when he struggled with the general constantly, the confidence and calm, the braveness and resourcefulness. Though the fiction is not long, but the structure and the plots are complementary to each other, and offer much food for thought, and arouse our thinking about human even about the world.Rainsford is a Warm, honest and optimistic young man. When he faced with all kinds of adventurous risks, he was always with a strong desire to survival, and kept his confidence and calm. Though he was in poor position, he transferred the disadvantages to advantages dependingon his calm, resourcefulness and braveness. And finally he changed danger into safety , and won the right to survive. But Zaroff is different. He was crazy about hunting, and was full of expectations about the hunting which was about to start. He had strong bloodthirsty desires, and regarded killing people as homely food. These all indicate his arbitrariness and cruelty, even his extreme contempt. And his hunting human game is inhuman and what heaven and earth will not tolerate. So this also destines his final fail.And through this fiction, we should thinking about human. If we human lose our reasoning power, play a role of Zaroff, and develop the jungle law to a extreme degree, the human society will bring destruction on itself. So only when human respect the law of development, respect other species, and respect ourselves, can human society develop harmoniously. I think this is what the writer intends to communicate.12. unit 13The abuse of power damages the social equity severely, and causes the instability of society, and makes people lose belief in government. Then people don’t believe administrative officers, and don’t support and understand administrative officers. Thus it leads to a tense relationship, and forms a vicious circle.some administrative officers discharge their duties, and feather their own nests. They would rather sacrifice collective interest in order to get their own benefits. Actually, there are some administrative officers abuse their power. Though they said “use power in right ways” in public, they think power is really a way to get their own benefits.For example, Zhang paid a fine of 100 yuan on the spot because of traffic violation, and he said several angry words about the punishment of the traffic police. But in the end, he was added to pay another 100 yuan for the traffic violation. This is the abuse of power. The traffic police should enforce the law in the range of his power, but not add the fine because of the angry words. His way of using power is casual and makes the enforcement lose justice.There is another example. The driving trainers said that trainees could use the training car for private affairs with paying money. But the training cars belong to the driving school and the driving trainers have no power to allow using training cars for other things. Driving trainers abused their power, and it is unfair.Through the two examples, we can see the abuse of power has serious harms, so people ought to use power in right ways and protect the fairness of society.13. unit 15(writing 2)Through this story, I think it is because of the racism. As for “ like a man trying to run a race in iron shoes”, we can see that Rensburg wanted to learn more about Edward, so he invited to split a bottle with him. It is just as a man trying to run a race. But Rensburg led him to a apartment building, but he has to drink in the passage, so we can see that a man in iron shoes. As for “not understanding why he cannot move”, I think it is because there exists an invisible wall between them which hampers their free communication and full understanding, and it is racism.we can see that Rensburg wanted to communicate with black people , but he couldn’t take the first step. In fact, the two persons are both anxious to reach out to each other, but they do not know how. Obviously, there exists an invisible wall between them, not just a wall imposed by apartheid laws, but a wall deep in their hearts. Racism has been a serious problem throughout human history,and this barrier between white people and black people has deeply ingrained in their hearts. Actually, racism of course is based on prejudice, and prejudice can lead to tremendous human suffering, be it racial, religious or political. Moreover, racism or any other form of prejudice does not only involve government and politicians, it exists on a personal level.But why Rensburg couldn’t move, I think it is that he feared to break the racism, and there is a wall that stopped his steps, and the wall is deep-rooted racism concept.。
大学英语三级作文范文
大学英语三级作文范文英文回答：As a college student, I believe that there are both advantages and disadvantages to living on campus. On the one hand, living on campus provides a sense of community and allows for easy access to campus resources, such as the library, gym, and dining halls. It also gives students the opportunity to form close friendships and participate in various campus activities. For example, when I was living on campus, I was able to join a study group with my classmates and we would often stay up late discussing our assignments and helping each other out. This sense of camaraderie and support is something that I cherish from my time living on campus.On the other hand, living on campus can also have its drawbacks. For one, the cost of living on campus can be quite high, and some students may find it difficult to afford. Additionally, living in close quarters with so manyother students can sometimes lead to conflicts and noise disturbances. I remember there were times when my roommate and I would have disagreements about cleanliness and noise levels, which could be quite stressful.中文回答：作为一名大学生，我认为住校有利有弊。

大学英语精读第三版第二册作文范文In the era of globalization, the journey of self-discovery has become increasingly significant. As individuals, we are constantly faced with the challenges of understanding our own identities, values, and beliefswithin the context of a rapidly changing world. This process often requires a deep exploration of our inner selves, an examination of our cultural backgrounds, and a consideration of the influence of external factors on our personal growth and development.The process of self-discovery often begins with a recognition of our own uniqueness. Each of us possesses a unique set of strengths, weaknesses, passions, andinterests that shape our individual identities. It is through understanding and embracing these unique qualities that we can begin to craft a meaningful life for ourselves. However, this process is not always easy. We often find ourselves influenced by external factors such as society,culture, and peer pressure, which can lead us to suppress our true selves and conform to external expectations.Globalization has accelerated this process of conformity, as it has brought about a homogenization of culture and values across the world. With the increasing interconnectedness of nations and the free flow of information, people are constantly exposed to different cultures and ideas. While this has opened up new opportunities for understanding and acceptance, it has also presented challenges in maintaining one's own cultural identity.In this context, the role of education becomes crucial. Education not only provides us with the knowledge andskills necessary for survival in the modern world, but it also helps us to develop a critical understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. Through the study of different cultures and perspectives, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own identities and values. This process of self-discovery through education is particularly important in the context of globalization, as it helps us to navigate the complexities of a multicultural world.However, self-discovery does not end with education. It is a lifelong process that requires continuous reflection and growth. As we encounter new experiences and challengesin life, we are constantly forced to reevaluate our beliefs and values. This process can be painful and difficult, butit is also incredibly rewarding. Through self-discovery, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves, our strengths, and our weaknesses. We can discover new passions and interests that lead us to pursue meaningful careers and relationships. We can also develop a greater sense of empathy and understanding for others, which can lead to more harmonious and inclusive communities.In conclusion, the journey of self-discovery is an essential part of human growth and development in the context of globalization. It requires a deep understandingof our own identities and values, as well as aconsideration of the influence of external factors on our lives. Through education and continuous reflection, we can embark on this journey and discover the rich and diverse world within ourselves.**自我发现之旅在全球化的背景下**在全球化的时代，自我发现之旅变得越来越重要。
大学英语精读3课后写作How did modern insect problem come to alarmingly threaten
1/ How did modern insect problem come to alarmingly threaten the very existence of humanity? (300)The relationship between insects and human-beings is always seeking a delicate balance. Though it’s admitted that there’s a large amount of insects bring benefits to human, such as pollinator species, resource insects and even coprophagous that is addressed as cleaner insect, the number of pest insect is not within the scope that human could either tolerant or neglect. Pest insect acts as the notable enemy of forests, wood and fields, and also should be responsible for the widely spread disease. Recent years, with the rising temperature by globe warming, there’s a large possibility that insects would break up former habitat and turn to the journey for new activity spaces. In this way, the underlying threat caused by insects is lying in front of human-beings. The great harm that pests throw to human is presented specifically in two aspects, including insects themselves and the pesticide that aims to eliminate the pests, while which works to cause the opposite effect, making human themselves ultimate victims.First of all, pests are often introduced by human activities such as trade, travel or import. It comes to that the developed country have the ability to observe the invasive species while the developing country is under higher risk of preventing the pests and control the danger. Because of the delayed detection and insufficient technology, the modern insect problem evolve into critical trouble which greatly threat the existence of humanity.Secondly, the abuse and misuse of pesticides also plays an important role. With the governmental permission or even encouragement, farmers sprayed the pesticides as much as they think it’s enough to kill the pests bu t without the consideration of environment, while ultimately causes the destruction of environment, water and air is contaminated and what’s worse, the crops and food would bring human body unimaginative harm.In summary, on the surface, it’s the pest and unscientific use of pesticide that are to be blamed, while let’s get to the bottom of it, it’s human-being themselves to reap the fruits of their own action.（335）。

大学英语精读3_作文（★）第一篇：大学英语精读3_作文Unit 3Why I Chose to Attend CollegeAs my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college.At times I did have somedoubts.After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile.My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning.While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further.I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development.I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations.Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person.A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training.Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position.As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.Unit 4I n a recent poll taken by “the Herald of the T own”, 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people.And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups.Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and theold people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments.38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively.Job training for youngpeople was chosen as the best way to reduce crime(63 percent).After that, in order ofpercentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols(23 percent), more police on foot(10 percent)and the death penalty(4 percent).Unit 5It was Mother's Day.Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion.Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year.The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue.The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find.By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark.And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.Unit6One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised.“What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?” the father asked.“Steve, th e big boy on Quail Street...” the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger.In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists.Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face.T otally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground.However, he regained hisfeet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too.Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away.Peter had to walk home completely defeated.Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.Unit 7Dear Pearl,Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days.She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock.Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation.I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again.Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again.Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come.But thank you so much for your kind invitation.Sincerely,PearlUnit 8How to Attain Our Goals in LifeAs a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life.To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower.Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success.Take Peter G.Beidler for example.Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession.Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep.His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983.Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goalin life.Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it.The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point.She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life.Instead, she persisted in improving herself.In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper.Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.第二篇：大学英语精读2unit9精读二 Unit91.quitter n.轻易停止的人, 懦夫(Ex.)quit v.放弃quit smoking.离开;退出He quitted Paris2.standpoint n.立场,观点,看法 viewpoint3.tender adj.e.g.tender flowers 柔弱的花朵 a tender expression on her face 她脸上温柔的表情My finger is tender because I cut it yesterday.我的手指一碰就疼，因为我昨天割破了(Ex.)tender-hearted adj.心肠软的;富于同情心的tender-nosed adj.嗅觉灵敏的tender-eyed adj.视力不佳的;目光和善的4.equivalent n.e.g.Some American words have no British equivalent.美国英语的一些用法在英国英语中没有对等的词adj.*be equivalent to/of相等于a wish that was equivalent toa command相当于命令的请求5.bamboo n.(Ex.)bamboo shoot n.笋, 竹笋bamboo grove [thicket]竹林bamboo ware精致竹器6.torture n.e.g.suffer torture from因...受痛苦the tortures of jealousy妒忌的折磨vt.拷问[打];(使受)折磨;曲解(out of;into);扭弯e.g.torture a rule to make it fit a case把尺子弄弯使其能够量箱子7.Christ interjection感叹词 n.(Ex.)Before Christ公元前(缩写为B.C.)AD abbr.公元[拉](Anno Domini)8.utter vt.e.g.Those ideas are so dishonest they will not utter.那些想法卑鄙得说不出口utter the truth说真话adj.e.g.I was at an utter loss what to do.我完全不懂该怎做才好an utter stranger完全不认识的人an utter refusal断然拒绝9.scatter vt.e.g.Leaves are scattered by the wind.树叶被风吹散vi.e.g.The flock of birds scattered when a shot was fired.枪响鸟散(Ex.)scattered adj.e.g.a few scattered fishing villages一些疏疏落落的渔村(ant.)gather v.10.insane adj.e.g.He must be insane to drive his car so fast.他把车开得这么快，一定是疯了(ant.)sane adj.健全的e.g.Jim is not mad;he is as sane as any other normal person.他的神智跟任何其他正常人一样清醒11.institutionalize vt.(Ex.)institute n.学会, 学院institution n.公共机构, 协会, 制度institutional adj.制度上的12.grocer n.(Ex.)groceries n.食品；杂货13.deceive vt.e.g.He deceived her into thinking he could drive a car.他骗她，使她相信他会开汽车*deceive sb.into doing sth.骗某人做某事 *be deceived in sb.看错了某人, 对某人感到失望(Ex.)undeceive vt.使醒悟e.g.undeceive sb.of his mistakes使某人明白自己的错误deceiver n.欺骗者14.missile n.15.ambitious adj.(1)有抱负的They are ambitious although they are poor.他们虽穷却很有志气(2)（of, to）热望的e.g.be ambitious of success渴望成功be ambitious to serve the people一心想为人民服务(Ex.)ambition n.野心, 雄心 e.g.Her ambition was to be a famous singer.她的理想是成为著名的歌唱家16.identification n.e.g.His only means of identification was his passport.他唯一证明身份的证件就是他的护照(Ex.)identify v.e.g.He identifies beauty with goodness.他认为美与善是一致的。

大学英语读写教程3电子课本作文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Favorite Animal - The Playful DolphinHi everyone! Today I want to share with you all about my favorite animal - the dolphin! Dolphins are amazing creatures that live in the ocean. They are super smart, friendly, and they love to play. Let me tell you more about why I love dolphins so much!First of all, dolphins are very intelligent. They can learn many things and even understand humans. Some scientists say that dolphins are one of the smartest animals on Earth. Isn't that awesome? They can remember things, solve problems, and communicate with each other using special sounds and body movements. I find it fascinating how they can understand each other without words, just like we do with our friends!Besides being smart, dolphins are also very friendly. They are known for their playful nature and their love for interacting with humans. Whenever I see videos of dolphins jumping and flipping in the water, it makes me so happy. They seem to be alwayssmiling and having fun! If I ever have the chance to swim with dolphins, I would be the happiest kid in the world. I would love to play and swim alongside them, just like they do in the ocean.Dolphins are not only fun to watch, but they also have a positive impact on the environment. Did you know that dolphins help keep the ocean ecosystem in balance? They eat fish, which helps control the population of certain species. This ensures that the food chain remains stable and that the ocean remains healthy. Dolphins are like the superheroes of the sea!I also admire dolphins because they are very loving and protective. They take care of their babies, just like our parents take care of us. Dolphins are known to be great parents, and they teach their young ones important life skills, such as how to swim and hunt for food. It's incredible to see how they look after each other and form strong family bonds in their underwater world.In conclusion, dolphins are my favorite animals because they are smart, friendly, playful, and loving. I hope one day I can see them up close and maybe even become friends with them. They bring so much joy and happiness to the world, and we should do our best to protect them and their ocean home.That's all for now, my friends. I hope you enjoyed learning about dolphins as much as I enjoyed writing about them.Remember, let's all be like dolphins - smart, friendly, playful, and loving!Take care and see you soon!篇2My Amazing Adventure in SpaceHello everyone! My name is Timmy, and I want to tell you about my incredible adventure in space. Hold on tight, because it's going to be an out-of-this-world experience!One sunny afternoon, I was sitting in my backyard, gazing up at the sky and dreaming about exploring the universe. Suddenly, a spaceship landed right in front of me. I couldn't believe my eyes! The door opened, and a friendly alien named Zippy stepped out.Zippy had big, shiny eyes and green, scaly skin. He wore a silver spacesuit that sparkled in the sunlight. He introduced himself and asked if I wanted to join him on a journey through space. Without thinking twice, I shouted, "Yes!"We hopped into the spaceship, which was filled with buttons, switches, and flashing lights. Zippy showed me how to buckle upin my seat and put on a special helmet. As the ship soared into the sky, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.Our first stop was the moon. When we landed, I couldn't resist jumping and bouncing in the low gravity. It was like being on a giant trampoline! Zippy and I collected moon rocks and took lots of pictures to show our friends back on Earth.Next, we traveled to Mars, the red planet. As we explored, we saw towering volcanoes and vast canyons. Zippy used his alien technology to create a bubble around us, so we could breathe the thin Martian air. We even discovered signs of ancient life hidden in the rocks. It was like being in a science fiction movie!Our adventure didn't stop there. We visited many other planets in our solar system, like Jupiter with its swirling storms and Saturn with its beautiful rings. Each planet had its own unique features and surprises. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to see all these incredible wonders up close.On our way back to Earth, Zippy and I talked about our favorite parts of the trip. We laughed and shared stories, knowing that this adventure would be something we would remember forever. When we finally landed in my backyard, I waved goodbye to Zippy, feeling grateful for the amazing experience.As I sat back in my lawn chair, looking up at the stars, I realized that my dream of exploring the universe had come true. Even though I was just a little kid, I learned that dreams can take you anywhere if you believe in yourself and embrace new opportunities.So, if you ever find yourself staring at the night sky, remember that the universe is full of endless possibilities. You never know when your own amazing space adventure might begin!I hope you enjoyed my story! Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary journey. See you among the stars!Word Count: 342 words篇3My Favorite Animal - The Playful DolphinHi everyone! My name is Lily, and I'm a third-grade student at Sunshine Elementary School. Today, I want to share with you all about my favorite animal - the playful dolphin!Dolphins are amazing creatures that live in the ocean. They are known for their intelligence and friendly nature. Dolphins are quite similar to us humans, as they are mammals just like us.They have smooth skin and breathe through a blowhole on the top of their heads. Isn't that cool?One of the reasons why I love dolphins is because of their playful nature. They are always jumping out of the water and doing flips in the air. It's like they are having their own acrobatic show! Whenever I see dolphins playing, it brings a big smile to my face. They are so full of joy and energy.Did you know that dolphins are also very smart? They are known to be one of the smartest animals on Earth. They can learn tricks and even understand human gestures and commands. Some dolphins have been trained to help people who are in danger in the water. They are like real-life superheroes!Another interesting thing about dolphins is their communication skills. They use a variety of clicks, whistles, and body movements to talk to each other. It's like they have their own secret language! Scientists have been studying dolphin communication for a long time, and they have discovered that dolphins are great at working together in groups. They are very social animals.Dolphins also have a special ability called echolocation. They make sounds that bounce off objects in the water, and then they listen to the echoes to understand their surroundings. It's likethey have their own built-in sonar system, just like submarines! This helps them find food and navigate through the ocean.Sadly, dolphins are facing some challenges too. Pollution and fishing nets are putting them in danger. We need to work together to protect these wonderful creatures and their home, the ocean. We can start by reducing plastic waste and keeping our oceans clean.In conclusion, dolphins are incredible animals that bring joy and happiness to people like me. Their playful nature, intelligence, and communication skills make them truly special. I hope that we can all appreciate and protect these amazing creatures for many generations to come.Thank you for reading my essay about dolphins. I hope you enjoyed learning about my favorite animal!篇4The Brave Adventures of Benny the BunnyOnce upon a time, in a beautiful meadow, there lived a small and courageous bunny named Benny. Benny was no ordinary bunny; he had big dreams and a heart full of bravery. Let me tell you about his exciting adventures!One sunny morning, Benny woke up with a twinkle in his eyes. He had heard about a magical forest on the other side of the mountains and decided that he would be the first bunny to explore it. With a carrot in his pocket and a determined spirit, Benny hopped on his tiny paws towards the unknown.As he journeyed through the tall grass and crossed the babbling brook, Benny encountered various animals. He met a wise old owl who told him stories of the forest's mysteries, a playful squirrel who taught him how to climb trees, and a family of friendly ducks who shared their swimming tips.However, Benny's adventure took an unexpected turn when he encountered a fierce and mighty wolf named Winston. Winston was known for his cunning ways and had frightened many animals in the meadow. But Benny, with his tiny frame, was not afraid.With a brave heart, Benny approached Winston and said, "Mr. Wolf, why do you scare others? Can't we all be friends and enjoy the beauty of the meadow together?"Winston was taken aback by Benny's courage and kindness. He had never met a bunny like him before. He pondered for a moment and realized that it was time for a change. From thatday forward, Winston decided to be a protector of the meadow instead of a bully.Word spread quickly about Benny's encounter with Winston, and soon all the animals of the meadow gathered to celebrate their newfound friendship. They organized a grand feast and danced under the moonlight, rejoicing in the power of love and courage.Benny's bravery and compassion had not only changed Winston but had also inspired others to be kind and understanding. The meadow became a harmonious place where all animals lived in peace and harmony.After his victorious adventure, Benny returned to his cozy burrow in the meadow. He realized that bravery is not about the size or strength; it's about having a big heart and standing up for what is right.And so, Benny the Bunny became a legend, a symbol of courage and friendship in the meadow. His story was passed down from generation to generation, reminding everyone that even the smallest of creatures can make a big difference.The end.I hope you enjoyed this little story! If you have any feedback or would like me to make any changes, please let me know.篇5My Big Summer AdventureHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about my super awesome summer adventure. It was the best summer ever and I had so much fun!It all started when school let out for the break. Mom and Dad said we were going on a big trip to visit my cousins who live on the other side of the country. I was really excited because I love going on road trips and seeing new places. Plus, I hadn't seen my cousins Jake and Emma in over a year.We packed up our minivan with all our suitcases and snacks for the drive. Dad installed this really cool tablet holder on the back of the front seats so me and my little sister Katie could watch movies and play games during the long drive. Katie is only 5 years old so she gets bored riding in the car pretty quickly.The first day we drove for what felt like forever! I think it was like 8 or 9 hours. We stopped a few times to go to the bathroom and get food. One time we had a picnic at this really pretty reststop with lots of trees and a little creek running beside it. That night we stayed in a hotel and went swimming in the pool. I had a crazy dream that I was drowning in a pool of jello!The next couple of days we just drove and drove and drove some more. I saw so many different landscapes and landscapes out the window. We went from the flat farms of our home state to huge mountains and forests in other states. It was like the scenery from my video games came to life!We finally arrived at my aunt and uncle's house after almost 3 full days of driving. I was so happy to see Jake and Emma again. They're twins who are a year older than me. We have so much fun playing together. Their house backed up to this awesome forest with tons of trails to explore and a cool creek to play in.Most days we just hung out and played in the forest, went swimming in the creek, had immense water balloon fights, and played video games together. But we also went on some really neat adventures around their town.One day we went to this cave that went really deep underground. We had to wear helmets with headlamps and everything. It was sort of creepy but really neat too! I saw all kinds of crazy rock formations and learned how caves are formed by groundwater.Another time we visited this living history museum where people dressed up like pioneers from the 1800s. We saw an old west town with a saloon, jail, bank, and everything. We even got to watch a fake bank robbery and shootout! The museum also had a working blacksmith shop and one-room schoolhouse. It was like being transported back in time.My favorite adventure though was when we went whitewater rafting down a wild river. We had to wear awesome life jackets and the rafts would bounce all over through the rapids. I got totally soaked from the splashing waves but it was a blast! Our guide taught us about the plants and animals along the river too.After two wonderful weeks it was finally time to head back home. I was really sad to leave my cousins and their awesome house in the forest. The drive back always seems to take longer than the drive there, doesn't it?When we got home everything seemed kind of boring after my huge summer adventure. But I had a million great memories and couldn't wait to get back to school to tell all my friends about it. I even made my mom print out all the photos she took so I could show them too.That's the story of my big summer road trip and all the fun I had. It was easily the best summer vacation I've ever had! I wonder what sort of adventures I'll get to have next summer. I'll just have to wait and see. But I'm already counting down the days until school lets out again!篇6My Amazing Adventure at the ZooHi everyone! My name is Timmy, and I want to tell you about my incredible adventure at the zoo. It was the best day ever!Last weekend, my parents took me to the zoo. I was so excited because I love animals. We packed a picnic lunch and headed to the zoo early in the morning. As soon as we arrived, I could hear the chirping of the birds and the roar of the lions. It felt like a whole new world.The first animals we saw were the penguins. They looked so cute waddling around on the ice. I giggled when one of them slipped and slid across the snow. They seemed to be having so much fun! I wished I could join them.Next, we went to see the elephants. They were enormous! I couldn't believe my eyes. The zookeeper told us fascinating factsabout them. Did you know that elephants are the largest land animals? They can also use their trunks to pick up things, just like how we use our hands! It was incredible to watch them eat and play in the water.We walked further into the zoo and came across the giraffes. They were so tall and had long necks. I felt like a tiny ant standing next to them. I wondered what it would be like to see the world from up there. The zookeeper told us that giraffes are the tallest animals on Earth. They can eat leaves from tall trees without any difficulty. I was amazed by their unique features.After that, we visited the monkey enclosure. The monkeys were swinging from tree to tree, and some were even doing funny tricks. It made me laugh so much. I wished I could swing like them. Monkeys are such playful and intelligent creatures. It was a joy to watch them.One of the highlights of the day was the lion feeding. We gathered around the lion's den and watched as the zookeeper threw chunks of meat into the enclosure. The lions pounced on the food and devoured it hungrily. Their majestic manes and powerful roars made them look so fierce and strong. It was like being in a real-life safari!As we walked through the zoo, we saw many more animals like zebras, kangaroos, and even some crocodiles. Each one was unique and fascinating in its own way. I couldn't believe how diverse the animal kingdom is.Finally, it was time to leave the zoo. I felt a mix of happiness and sadness. I was thrilled to have seen so many incredible animals, but I didn't want the day to end. I waved goodbye to the animals and promised them that I would come back soon.My adventure at the zoo was truly unforgettable. I learned so much about different animals and their habitats. It made me appreciate the beauty and diversity of our natural world. I can't wait to go on more adventures like this in the future!That's all for now. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my amazing day at the zoo. Remember, we should always protect and care for our animal friends. They are an important part of our world.Take care and see you soon!Love,Timmy。

Unit 3Why I Chose to Attend CollegeAs my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college. At times I did have some doubts. After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile. My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning. While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further. I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development. I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations. Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person. A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training. Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position. As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.Unit 4In a recent poll taken by "the Herald of the Town", 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people. And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups. Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments. 38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively. Job training for young people was chosen as the best way to reduce crime (63 percent). After that, in order ofpercentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols (23 percent), more police on foot (10 percent) and the death penalty (4 percent).Unit 5It was Mother's Day. Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion. Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year. The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue. The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find. By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark. And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.Unit6One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised. "What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?" the father asked. "Steve, the big boy on Quail Street ..." the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger. In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists. Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face. Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground. However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too. Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away. Peter had to walk home completely defeated. Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.Unit 7Dear Pearl,Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days. She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock. Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation. I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again. Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again. Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come. But thank you so much for your kind invitation.Sincerely,PearlUnit 8How to Attain Our Goals in LifeAs a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life. To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower. Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two. Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success. Take Peter G. Beidler for example. Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession. Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep. His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983. Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work. Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life. Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it. The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point. She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life. Instead, she persisted in improving herself. In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper. Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.。
