If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracke d up to be. Twelve yearsat school and threeyearsat univer sity, teache rs bangin g on aboutopport uniti es in the big wide worldbeyond our shelte red life as studen ts, and what do I find?2 Try as I mightto stay cheerf ul, all I ever get is hassle, someti mes with people (especi allyboys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expens ive out here! Everyo ne wantsa sliceoff you. The Inland Revenu e wantsto deduct income tax, the bank manage r wantsrepaym entson my studen t loan, the landlo rd wantsthe rent, gas, water, electr icity and my mobile billskeep coming in, and all that's before I've had anythi ng to eat. And then some bright sparkcallsme out of the blue, asking if I'm intere stedin buying a pensio n. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alonetill I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropou t and I knew I'd have to some day. Accord ing to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thingas a free lunch". But giventhat I'd got a good degree, I though t I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actual ly, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Econom ics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum aboutit, and she said she couldn't afford to suppor t me any more. I kind of unders tandit, and not just becaus e my degree is in econom ics. She'd worked hard for 15 yearsto give me an educat ion. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spentit gambli ng on the dogs or down the pub. So it came to the pointwhenI just agreed with Mum, and bowedmyself toward s the inevit able.4 If you ask me, and despit e everyt hingyou hear, fortun ately thereare some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for exampl e. When I left univer sity, what I though t was that my mum wouldfeel oblige d to look afterme if I return ed home. So I packed up my belong ingsand went to London to get a job. I wanted someth ing in financ e and invest ments, becaus e you know, maybewith a job like that, I coulduse my degree. But by that time, therewere no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doingphotoc opies and making the tea.5 Go anywhe re you like in London and there's usuall y a good pub. The day I realiz ed no one in the city was goingto offerme a job, I went into The Salisb ury on Leaden hallStreet for a drinkand someth ing to eat. Mike the landlo rd was at the bar, pourin g pintswith one hand, making sandwi cheswith the other, and washin g the glasse s all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have threehands. He also seemed to know everyo ne, and greete d the regula rs by name, gettin g theirdrinks readywith the questi on, "The usualtoday, is it?" I though t he looked kind of cool, he was doingwhat he did best, servin g thirst y client s, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and askedhim whethe r therewas a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long storyshort, I starte d work in the pub one Friday lunchtime. It was quitedemand ing work, but I likedit. People seemed to find me amusin g and it made me feel better too. Therewas one middle-aged regula r in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwi ch, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I triedto have his lunchreadyfor him even before he asked. He was anothe r one of thosereally nice people.7 If you ask me, spendi ng moneywhen you don't have any is dead easy. I beganto thinkabouthow I'd spendmy firstmonth's wages. The flat whereI was stayin g was expens ive, and I just abouthad enough to coverthe firstmonth's substa ntial bills. But I calcul atedthat there'd be just enough moneyover to treatmyself to someth ing. Why not get a CD or maybea plantto cheerup the flat? I though t.8 It was my birthd ay on pay day. Apartfrom Mike and Tony, I didn't have any friend s in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfri end either, you can unders tandwhy I beganto feel sorryfor myself. So I ordere d myself some flower s, and askedthem to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highli ght of my birthd ay wouldbe the confus ed look on the floris t's eyes when he delive red them.9 Laterthat week, Tony came in as usualand sat down at the bar. "What's wrongwith you? Where's that smilegone today?" I talked to him about... well, aboutpretty well everyt hing, money, the master's, my birthd ay, the lot. He sympat hized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Rememb er: The Salisb ury is rightin the heartof the city, so all the custom ers were in bankin g or insura nce or the stockmarket. Next day he turned up with cheque s to the valueof £20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your busine ss. The only collat eralyou have is my trustin you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the financ e busine ss for you. But I thinkyou will."11 I didn't say anythi ng for fear that I was goingto cry. What were the odds on anyone beingso nice?12 And the flower s? I redire ctedthem to my mum, and they arrive d for her on my birthd ay. She deserv ed them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, lookin g back afterall theseyears, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succee d. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's stillworthit.14 Aftera year workin g at The Salisb ury, I got a placeat the LSE, did my master's and founda job in an invest mentbank. I invest ed the £20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash. I paid back Tony and the otherinvest ors, with ten per cent annual intere st, and set up my own firm. It exceed ed all my expect ation s and is stilla thrivi ng busine ss.15 Tony wroteme a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accide nt, and couldn't walk. The moneyI paid back wouldallowhim to adapthis houseso he couldmove around it in his wheelc hair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five yearsin bankin g, and I've nevermade a better invest mentthan the loan to you. You've repaid the moneywith intere st, and my trustin you and your honest y 100-fold. If you ask me, invest ing in people givesthe best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看，现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

就拿拿破仑和希特勒来说吧，他们取得的一个又一个的胜利让他们相信自己战无不胜，没有什么可以阻挡他们，但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士会证明他们是错的。
1 1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑?波拿巴率领大军进入俄罗斯。
他为面对俄罗斯人民保卫家园而要进行的坚决抵抗做好了准备。
他想到了要经过长途跋涉才能到达俄罗斯的首都莫斯科，为此也做好了准备。
但他没有为在莫斯科会遭遇到的劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷刺骨的寒冬——做好准备。
2 1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫?希特勒对当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯发起了进攻。
希特勒的军事力量无可匹敌。
他的战争机器扫除了欧洲大部分地区的抵抗。
希特勒希望在最短的时间内结束战斗，但是，就像他的前人拿破仑一样，他得到了惨痛的教训。
俄罗斯的冬天又一次帮助了苏维埃士兵。
拿破仑发起的战役3 1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境集结60万大军。
这些士兵都训练有素，有很强的作战能力，而且都有精良的装备。
这支军队被称为“大军”。
拿破仑对迅速胜利充满信心，预言要用5个星期攻下俄国。
4 不久，拿破仑的大军经过涅曼河进入俄国。
拿破仑所期盼的迅速、决定性的胜利并没有出现。
令他吃惊的是，俄国人并没有反抗。
相反，他们一路向东撤退，沿途焚毁庄稼和房屋。
“大军”紧追不舍，但它的前进很快由于后勤补给缓慢而停顿下来。
5 到了8月，法军和俄军在斯摩棱斯克开火，在这次战役中，双方各有上万人死在战场上。
可是，俄国军队又能继续向自己领土的纵深撤退。
拿破仑并没有取得决定性的胜利。
此刻他面临着一个生死攸关的抉择：是继续追击俄军，还是为了度过即将来临的冬天而把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克呢？6 拿破仑决定冒险向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。
1812年9月7日，法俄两军在鲍罗季诺展开激烈的战斗，此地在莫斯科以西112公里外。
夜幕降临时，法军和俄军分别有3万和4.4万名士兵的死伤。
7 俄国军队再次撤退到安全的地方。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1: Cultural DifferencesText A: Understanding Cultural DifferencesPart ICulture Shock and Its EffectsCulture shock refers to the feeling of disorientation and confusion that individuals experience when living in a new cultural environment. It occurs when people are suddenly confronted with unfamiliar customs, traditions, languages, and behaviors that differ from those of their own culture.The effects of culture shock vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel anxious, lonely, or even depressed. Others may become frustrated or irritated by the differences they encounter. These symptoms can have a significant impact on individuals' mental and emotional well-being, making it crucial to develop strategies to cope with culture shock effectively.Part IIAdapting to a New CultureAdapting to a new culture requires an open mind and a willingness to learn and embrace new customs and traditions. It is essential to approach cultural differences with respect and curiosity, avoiding making hasty judgments or stereotypes.Language is often a significant barrier when adapting to a new culture. Learning the local language can greatly enhance communication andunderstanding, enabling individuals to connect with the local community and build meaningful relationships.Part IIIThe Importance of Cultural SensitivityDeveloping cultural sensitivity is vital in today's interconnected world. It involves being aware of and respectful towards cultural differences and understanding that there is no absolute right or wrong. By adopting a culturally sensitive mindset, individuals can navigate cross-cultural interactions more successfully and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts.Cultural sensitivity also plays a crucial role in global business and diplomatic relations. Being knowledgeable about cultural norms and practices can help individuals build trust and establish long-lasting partnerships.Part IVTips for Overcoming Culture Shock1. Seek support: Reach out to friends, family, or support groups who have experience living in the same or a similar culture. They can offer guidance and advice on how to cope with culture shock.2. Embrace new experiences: Rather than shying away from new customs and traditions, actively participate and embrace them. This can help foster a sense of belonging and facilitate cultural integration.3. Be patient: Adapting to a new culture takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and others, and remember that adjusting to a new environment is a gradual process.Text B: Cultural Differences in EducationPart IThe Role of Education in Different CulturesEducation plays a central role in shaping individuals and societies. However, the goals and methods of education vary significantly across cultures. In some cultures, rote memorization and obedience to authority are emphasized, while others focus on critical thinking and creativity.Part IIViews on Teaching and LearningDifferent cultures hold diverse perspectives on teaching and learning. In some cultures, the teacher is viewed as the sole authority figure and imparts knowledge to passive students. In contrast, other cultures emphasize student participation and encourage critical thinking and independent learning.Part IIIClassroom DynamicsCultural differences also manifest in classroom dynamics. In some cultures, students are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and engage in lively discussions. In contrast, other cultures value silence and respect for authority, where students listen attentively to the teacher without interrupting or challenging their views.Part IVEducation and Social MobilityThe role of education in social mobility varies across cultures. In some societies, education is seen as the primary means to improve one's social status and economic opportunities. In contrast, in more collectivist cultures, the emphasis may be on maintaining societal harmony rather than individual achievement.Text A Translation: 《理解文化差异》第一部分文化冲击及其影响文化冲击指的是个体在新的文化环境中所体验到的迷失和困惑感。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: EducationText A: Is College the Best Option?大学是否是最佳选择？Part I: Text A in EnglishText A: Is College the Best Option?Nowadays, the decision to attend college or not is a topic of much debate. With the rising cost of tuition and the uncertainty of job prospects after graduation, many people are questioning whether college is truly the best option.On one hand, a college education has obvious benefits. It provides individuals with the opportunity to gain knowledge, develop critical thinking skills, and broaden their horizons. College also offers networking opportunities and the chance to meet people from diverse backgrounds, which can be valuable in the professional world. Additionally, many employers still consider a college degree as a minimum requirement for job applicants.On the other hand, the cost of college has skyrocketed in recent years. Tuition fees, accommodation expenses, and textbooks can easily accumulate into a significant financial burden. Moreover, there is no guarantee that a college degree will lead to a well-paying job. In today's competitive jobmarket, having a degree no longer guarantees a successful career. Many college graduates find themselves underemployed or in jobs that don't align with their educational background.Furthermore, alternative pathways such as vocational schools, apprenticeships, or entrepreneurship have proven to be successful for many individuals. These options often provide practical, hands-on training and immediate job placement. For those who have a clear career goal and are willing to put in the effort, skipping college and pursuing alternative paths can lead to quicker entry into the workforce and potential financial success.In conclusion, the decision to attend college or pursue alternative paths depends on individual circumstances and goals. While a college education offers numerous benefits, it is necessary to carefully consider the financial costs and job prospects in today's economy. Ultimately, success in any field requires a combination of education, skills, and determination, regardless of whether one obtains a college degree or not.Part II: Text A in Chinese (课文A：大学是否是最佳选择？)如今，是否上大学成为了一个备受争议的话题。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 A Lost World - Atlantis?Text AThe Story of AtlantisAmong the many mysteries of ancient Greece, Atlantis stands out as one of the most enduring and intriguing. The myth of Atlantis has captured the imagination of generations, with numerous theories and speculations attempting to uncover the truth behind this legendary lost city.According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" and was said to be larger than Asia and Libya combined. The Atlanteans, as described by Plato, were a technologically advanced society with impressive architecture, hydraulic engineering, and prosperous trade. However, due to their pride and corruption, the gods decided to punish them and submerged Atlantis into the sea in a single day and night of catastrophic earthquakes and floods.Although there is no concrete evidence to support the existence of Atlantis, many theories have been put forward over the years. Some believe that Atlantis was a real place, possibly a highly advanced civilization such as the Minoan culture of Crete or the ancient city of Tartessos in modern-day Spain. Others suggest that Atlantis is purely a myth or an allegory created by Plato to convey philosophical or political ideas.Regardless of its reality, the story of Atlantis continues to captivate and inspire people. It has become a symbol of a lost paradise, a cautionary tale warning against human hubris, and a reminder of the fleeting nature of power and civilization.译文：第一课海底世界-亚特兰蒂斯亚特兰蒂斯的故事在古希腊的众多谜团中，亚特兰蒂斯是最耐人寻味和引人入胜的之一。

One thinks ofsuccesses in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promiseheld out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms of Appendix I -98 -disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154words)Unit Two Smart Cars★Text AVocabularyI.1.1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite7) vibrated 8) magnetic 9) bunched 10) in the air 11) got/was stuck in12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for 3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through 7) fill out 8) fall into3.1) … incorporates all the latest safety features2) …two trees ten feet apart3) … awarding lucrative contracts to his construction site4) … the prototype o f a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) … are correl ated in all racial groups4.1) the application, remote, has turned into a reality, are poised to2) that vibrate, can detect, frequency3) lanes, are mounted in, alert a, hazardII.

For better or for worse, this is your calling card to the recruiting directors of the business world.There is one key piece of advice that seems to get lost on most people, one of the most important things you can do when applying for a job. And it is this: Target your résumé.People, we work in advertising. What do you think yourrésumé is? It’s just an ad for you. Just like a good ad targets its consumer, a good résumé hits the target right between the eyes and says, ―You have to hire me.‖ In this case, the consum er is the recruiting director at the company where you’d like to work. Neve r forget that. Here’s what I mean: Recruiting directors are a practical lot. They want to find the ―easiest‖ possible person to hire. That is, someone who fits their job description perfectly.If the job description says they are looking for an account director with, at least, 5 years of experience and a background in package goods, that’s exactly who they want to hire. Now, that doesn’t mean they won’t consider anyone else, but where do you think they are going to start?If you have more than five or so years of experience, you can start your résumé with a summary. A summary captures about four or five bullet points that show why you’re a perfect match for the job.

一．背诵In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French, led his Grand Army into Russia. He was prepared for the fierce resistance of the Russian people defending their homeland. He was prepared for the long march across Russian soil to Moscow, the capital city. But he was not prepared for the devastating enemy that met him in Moscow -- the raw, bitter, bleak Russian winter.In 1941, Adolf Hitler, leader of Nazi Germany, launched an attack against the Soviet Union, as Russia then was called. Hitler's military might was unequaled. His war machine had mowed down resistance in most of Europe. Hitler expected a short campaign but, like Napoleon before him, was taught a painful lesson. The Russian winter again came to the aid of the Soviet soldiers.Two of the most frustrating things about driving a car are getting lost and getting stuck in traffic. While the computer revolution is unlikely to cure these problems, it will have a positive impact. Sensors in your car tuned to radio signals from orbiting satellites can locate your car precisely at any moment and warn of traffic jams. We already have twenty-four Navstar satellites orbiting the earth, making up what is called the Global Positioning System. They make it possible to determine your location on the earth to within about a hundred feet. At any given time, there are several GPS satellites orbiting overhead at a distance of about 11,000 miles. Each satellite contains four "atomic clocks," which vibrate at a precise frequency, according to the laws of the quantum theory.As a satellite passes overhead, it sends out a radio signal that can be detected by a receiver in a car's computer. The car's computer can then calculate how far the satellite is by measuring how long it took for the signal to arrive. Since the speed of light is well known, any delay in receiving the satellite's signal can be converted into a distanceWhen a recent college graduate came into my office not too long ago looking for a sales job, I asked him what he had done to prepare for the interview. He said he'd read something about us somewhere.Had he called anyone at Mackay Envelope Corporation to find out more about us? No. Had he called our suppliers? Our customers? No.Had he checked with his university to see if there were any graduates working at Mackay whom he could interview? Had he asked any friends to grill him in a mock interview? Did he go to the library to find newspaper clippings on us?Did he write a letter beforehand to tell us about himself, what he was doing to prepare for the interview and why he'd be right for the job? Was he planning to follow up the interview with another letter indicating his eagerness to join us? Would the letter be in our hands within 24 hours of the meeting, possibly even hand-delivered?The answer to every question was the same: no. That left me with only one other question: How well prepared would this person be if he were to call on a prospective customer for us? I already knew the answer.Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, bo th see their identity as a matter of personal choice,not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are DavosMen, members of the interna tional business élite who trek eachyear to the Swiss Alpine town for th e annual meeting of theWorld Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder andMandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, jou rnalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars forfive days of netw orking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from p ost-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable diffe rences,most Davos Men and Women share at least one belief:that globalization, the unimpeded flows of capital, labor and technologyacross national borders, is both welcome and unstoppable. Theysee the world increasingly as one vast, interconnected marketplace in w hich corporations search for the most advantageous locations to buy, pr oduce and sell their goods andservices.For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I do not know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me.These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe. He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years. I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise. Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action. It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type. Here if ever was a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than fivefeet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes. I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him. He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.Though his offices were in Kobe, Burton often came down to Yokohama.I happened on one occasion to be spending a few days there, waiting fora ship, and I was introduced to him at the British Club. We played bridge together. He played a good game and a generous one. He did not talk very much, either then or later when we were having drinks, but what he said was sensible. He had a quiet, dry humor. He seemed to be popular at the club and afterwards, when he had gone, they described him as one of the best. It happened that we were both staying at the Grand Hotel and next day he asked me to dine with him. I met his wife, fat, elderly, and smiling, and his two daughters. It was evidently a united and affectionate family.I think the chief thing that struck me about Burton was his kindliness. There was something very pleasing in his mild blue eyes. His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man who attracted you because you felt in him a real love for his fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made every penny himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frail; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.As Godbey points out, the stress we feel arises not from a shortage of time, but from the surfeit of things we try to cram into it. "It's the kid in the candy store," he says. "There's just so many good things to do. The array of choices is stunning. Our free time is increasing, but not as fast as our sense of the necessary.A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it.Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities with limited communications. Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to know everything that was to be known, see everything that was to be seen, and do everything that was to be done. Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same. But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aimIt is not more time we need: it is fewer desires. We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves. We need to buy less, read less and travel less. We need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.二．课后翻译1.Mr.Doherty and his family are currently engaged in gettingthe autumn harvest in on the farm. 多尔蒂先生和他的家人目前正在农场忙于秋收。

Unit1、Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature. Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.For quite a long time after man began to live in the realm _ of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces. He used to regard nature with its elemental forces as something hostile to him. And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him. Very often, he was unable to obtain the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others stubbornly and collectively with his imperfect tools. Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually. He cut down forest, cultivated land, transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals. He subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.Nonetheless, with the constant expansion) of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its irreplaceable resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become extinct and still many others to be endangered. The previous dynamic balance between man and nature is on the verge of breaking down. Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate the destructive effect of technology on nature.-------The crisis of the ecological situation has become a global problem. The solution to the problem depends on rational and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature. This can only be done by all humanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countriesUnit2、Technology is a "hot" issue nowadays. The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents emphasize) its disadvantages. Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the opposite point of view.The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly improved. For example, the boom in productivity has made goods better and cheaper. Therefore, things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities. Medical technology, in particular, has benefited us a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy.On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life obviously worse. Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people consciously) unhappy. In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and fractures community.Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an eternal subject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic. However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did groundbreaking work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being. In his famous paper entitled "Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?", Easterlin showed that there was no real correlation between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.In fact, technology is neither good nor bad. It depends on what we want to do with it. Therefore, the responsibility belongs exclusively to humans who have to acquire a social conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances.Unit 3According to Craig Russell, when we make an initial effort in our personal quests for knowledge, we may not even know that a certain field of learning exists. But, after we have done some reading, we will get to know more about the topic (1). At the same time, we may feel that all the reading creates (2) more questions rather than answers them. We then realize how little we really (3) know and how much more we need to read and think and write. Russell suggests that we write after reading each time. His experience tells him that it is his writing that has led him to acquire a better grasp _(4) of the topic he studies. People may think that only those who know and who are sure (5) of themselves write. For Russell, however, it's just the opposite (6), for writing doesn't close things off – it opens things up. To say that the more we know, the more we know we don't know seems contradictory (7). According to Russell, modern physics tells us that reality _(8) itself is contradictory. The more closely scientists look into our physical _(9) reality, the more it slips away from them. In a way, the more they learn, the less they know. Craig Russell believes that a proper understanding will inevitably lead us away from the force and rigidity (10) of dogmatism and toward the flexibility and freedom of the individual(11). Therefore, we must temper our pride in knowing with the humility(12) of not knowing. The truth always exists there, but, it is like the rainbow(13) because we can never really grasp it, never hold it in our hands and truly know it. We can only, as William James said, "live today by what truth we can get today and be ready to call it falsehood (14) tomorrow".Unit 4Most people have work to do. With work, they can enjoy (1) their lives. However, people who did physical (2) labor were looked down upon in the past. Many people were compelled _(3) to take manual labor because it was an absolute necessity (4) for them to earn a living and to support (5) their families. By contrast, people who did mental (6) work were highly respected. Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still idealize (7) their future when making choices for their career. What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social status (8) rather than whether they can realize their values (9) in it. In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be classified (10) as inferior in social status. In fact, there is no essential (11) difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their mind (12). Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the job itself but on people's attitude (13) towards it. As long as you like your job, you will think you are fortunate (14) enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.Unit5What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways. Some people chase money their whole lives. To them, more money means more success. Some people run after fame. With fame and reputation, they can gain the admiration and love of many others. However, some people dedicate themselves to the well-being of society.Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a reward to those who have done valuable work. Those who perform their work excellently should be paid sufficiently. But success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others. After all, money and power can assure people neither of happiness nor of respect from others.Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success. Momentary fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time. But they are very likely to become the slaves of their celebrity because of the public’s demands. In addition, they will easily become the target of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well. To be frank, if one is unable to fully enjoy life and liberty, the short-lived success is nothing but illusory.Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important. As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society,Unit6、Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists. Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may wither. Those who uphold truth have a strong sense of responsibility. Those who hold firmly to truth are faithful to their duty and the people they serve. They commit themselves to the well-being of others. With aspirations to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any. It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude in return.Truth dawns upon us slowly but surely. In the long quest for truth, people have accumulated precious knowledge and experience. However, truth also needs nourishment just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it flowers or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tenderedIn short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity. Stick to the truth and we will weave a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, elevate the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.。

ClozeUnit 1NO.1When Hitler decided to launch his invasion of Russia, he thought that nothing could stand in the way of his armies. Conquest, it seemed, was inevitable. He had surprise on his side, catching Stalin off his guard by launching his attack without a declaration of war. Hitler expected the campaign to last only a few months. In the event, it was to drag on for much longer. Like Napoleon before him, he had made a fatal mistake in failing to reckon with the severity of the Russian weather. Many German soldiers were to die from the cold as winter set in, bringing the German advance to a half.NO.2In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring military operations to a half or force a change in targets. Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow cruise missiles（巡航导弹）and other smart weapons to home in on（瞄准并飞速接近）their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly accurate to be effective.Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors will grow rapidly on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders a(n) instant overviews of weather in the battle zone. In some areas you’ll have direct delivery of weather information straight from the computers to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft.Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous dege（优势）over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage. As we get superior satellites into space, we’ll gain huge advantage in observing meteorological conditions in denied areas, where we don’t have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers getmore powerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution powerful. The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communication and computer abilities. It’s exciting to think of what the next 10 years will bring.Unit 2NO.1Hello. Welcome to your new car. I am your onboard computerized driving system. From the moment you start up the car, I’ll be poised to help the car, It is my job to alert you to any hazards that may occur on the road. When you find the driving monotonous and want to relax, I can take control of the car and steer it in your place. I’ll guide you from one lane to another and make sure you arrive at your destination safe and sound. If a car in front of you slows down suddenly, I’ll decrease your speed. And I’ll calculate the data provided by the GPS system and choose the less busy routes so as to eliminate your worries of getting stuck in a traffic jam. When you want to convert back from automatic control to manual control, that’s easy. Just press the right button mounted on the steering column. But do remember not to take any alcoholic drinks. If I detect the presence of alcohol in the vapor of your breath, I’ll stop the car whether you like it or not.NO.2The automobile industry is one of the most important industries in the world, affecting not only the economy but also the cultures of the world. It provides jobs for millions of people, generates billions of dollars in worldwide revenues, and provides the basis for a large number of related service and support industries. Automobiles revolutionized transportation in the 20th century, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business.The automobile has enabled people to travel and transport goods farther and faster, and has opened up new market opportunities for business and commerce. The auto industry has also decreased the overall costs of transportation by using methods such as mass production, mass marketing, and globalization（全球化）of production. Today, automaking is the world’s largest manufacturing activity, with more than 53 million new vehicles built each year worldwide.As a result of easier and faster transportation, the United States and world economies have become dependent on the mobility that automobiles, trucks, and buses provide. This mobility has allowed remote populations to interact with oneanother, which, in turn, has increased commerce. The transportation of goods to consumers and consumers to goods has become an industry in itself. However, the automobile has also caused some problems, such as air pollution, congested traffic, and increased highway fatalities. Nevertheless, the automobile industry continues to be an important source of employment for millions of people worldwide.Unit 3NO.1What is the best way to impress a prospective employer when you go for a job interview? As I see it, the best thing is to demonstrate that you have done your homework and know all about the firm beforehand. You should make every endeavor, for example, to show that you know something about the structure of the company, including the different lines of products it turns out and the chief business partners it is working with. Respond in a spontaneous manner and let the interviewer know that you are not frightened by new challenges, but are willing to take a crack at anything. Try to look at the situation from the standpoint of the person offering the opportunity of employment. What sort of qualities is he likely to be looking for? Enthusiasm, certainly. So don’t leave your application waiting until just before the deadline. Apply early. Another thing that can make a difference is to follow up your interview with a letter expressing your enthusiasm to join the company.NO.2When you get an invitation to a job interview, you are halfway toward your goal—a job offer. No matter how many encouraging responses you have gotten to your job inquiry letters, with rare exceptions you will not get a job offer without an interview.Go to the library to find all relevant information about the company and, if you can, on the person who will interview you. Have material with you that the employer might ask for—samples of your work, names and addresses of references, extra copies of your resume.An employment manager for a major construction company offers this advice.“If it’s obvious you haven’t spent any time preparing for the interview—that is , you don’t know what the company does, where it does it, what kinds of jobs it has—then don’t expect the company to take you very seriously.”Prior t interview the employer has probably seen your resume and perhaps talked with you on the phone. What employers look for in interviews is what you might call personal chemistry—how you look and act, whether you exhibit self-confidence, how you would fit in with other members of the organization.Unit 4NO.1Davos is a small Alpine city in eastern Switzerland which began making itself known in the 1990s for hosting the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of politicians, financiers and academics. Each year, those taking part spend five days there networking and discussing a variety of issues such as the global supply of oil, world economic growth and environmental problems.Davos Men share the belief that globalization is both welcome and unstoppable. They would like to see national boundaries vanish so as to facilitate their global operations. Some people say that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the majority of people. Others, however, argue that endorsing a global outlook does not mean sweeping aside one’s patriotic feelings or erasing one’s national identity. The question, perhaps, is whether it is possible to strike a balance between being global and being local.NO.2Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects in economic development, on political systems, and on human physical well-being societies around the world.Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, people—and ,later, corporations—have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the out break of the First World War in 1914.But policy and technological development of the past few decades have spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and migration so large that many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively new phase. Since 1950, forexample, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from 468 billion to 827 billion. Distinguishing this current wave of globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas has said that today globalization is”farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper”Unit 5NO.1You see that young man swimming out at sea? He’s trying to swim out to the beacon and back. He must be insane to have committed himself to such a thing. The current is far too strong. To be candid, I wouldn’t attempt it. I dare say few swimmers are capable of such a feat. I met him on the beach before he set out. I don’t mind telling you that I was taken aback when he told me what he was going to do, because he didn’t look in good condition at all. Far from it. He may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces. However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke, not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild-mannered man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he would funk it. Then, again, perhaps Burton knew he was sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blooded to care. It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.NO.2Years of begging on the streets of Shahr-e Kord in western Iran meant that Habibian was never anything more than a local beggar to his neighbours. So when he was found dead in his home, no one suspected that the man who spent his life pleading for money and favours had left behind a big fortune.But now a judge has confirmed that Habibian was a real-life slumdog（穷小子）millionaire after police discovered a lot of valuables when they went to recover his body. Searching through the dead man’s possessions, officers were stunned to find more than 7,000 in cash and owenship documents to lucrative properties and businesses. They also discovered an array of precious jewellery, including earringsdating back to the mid-19th century.Habibian is not Iran’s first wealthy beggar. In 2003, a 40-year-old woman filed for divorce after discovering that her husband, a wealthy carpet trader, regularly begged in a neighbourhood in the south of the city. The husband explained that he was driven by a(n) urge stemming from his poor upbringing in which he fell under the spell of organized beggars. And three years ago, a beggar arrested by police in Tehran was found to have 10,000 in the bank and own a luxury flat.Unit 6NO.1Can you switch off from the cars of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity of information that comes pouring in on us. ”All men,” said Aristotle, ”by nature desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny（专制）of time.NO.2There are only 24 hours in your day, just the same as everybody else’s. So how do you end up time-starved, frustrated, and behind in your work? Maybe it is because you don’t know how to use those 24 hours to your advantage.If using your time wisely is a problem for you, you probably don’t have a very good idea of where it all goes. It just seems to go! A good place to start, then, is to faithfully keep track of how you use your waking hours for a week. The results will probably surprise you.The next step is to do some planning. You’ll discover, among other thing, that ifyou get seven hours’ sleep a night, you have 119 hours per week to do everything you need to do. That, of course, includes going to class, eating, social activities, personal hygiene, telephone and TV time, etc. Be sure to schedule time for all these in your 119 hours. They try sticking to your schedule for a week. This should give you a good idea of what your real priorities are!Learn to say NO once your priorities are set. Turning down an invitation doesn’t mean you’ll never be invited again. Making a decision based on what you know is best for you at the time actually leads to greater respect from your friends.。

全新版大学英语综合教程4课文原文及翻译Unit 1 Living and LearningText AWomen and TraditionIn the remote mountain villages of southwest China, it seems that time has stood still for centuries. The traditional way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation remains untouched by the modern world. Here, women are the family organizers, responsible for farming and family matters.Women plant and harvest crops, take care of livestock, cook for their families, and raise children. They are the pillars of their communities, responsible for preserving their cultural traditions. Despite the heavy workload, women in these villages take pride in their roles.Traditional gender roles in these communities paint a stark contrast to the modern world. However, as China rapidly develops, there is an evident shift happening. Young women are drifting away from their traditional roles, pursuing careers and education in larger cities. This shift has both positive and negative implications for these rural communities.On the one hand, women have more opportunities for personal growth and economic independence. By pursuing education and employment outside their villages, they can experience a different way of life and contribute to their families' financial stability. This newfound freedomallows women to break free from traditional constraints and explore their full potential.On the other hand, the departure of young women from these villages also means a loss of resources and skills. With fewer women available to handle the farming and household tasks, the burden falls heavily on the older generation. The young women who leave often find it hard to return due to the lack of job opportunities and limited access to modern amenities in their home villages.In conclusion, the traditional roles of women in remote Chinese villages are slowly changing as modernization takes over. While women now have more choices and freedom, this shift also brings challenges for the communities they leave behind. Balancing tradition and progress is a delicate task, and finding ways to preserve cultural heritage while embracing modernity is crucial.Unit 2 EducationText AA Day in the Life of a College StudentCollege life is an exciting and transformative period. As students pursue higher education, they experience a newfound sense of freedom and responsibility. Let's take a closer look at a typical day in the life of a college student.The day begins with the sound of the alarm clock buzzing. Time to wake up and start the day! After a quick shower and getting dressed, the studentheads to the cafeteria for breakfast. Fueling up with a hearty meal is essential to keep energy levels up throughout the day.Next, it's time for classes. The student attends various lectures, takes notes, and participates in discussions. The college curriculum covers a wide range of subjects, allowing students to explore their interests and discover new fields of study.After a morning of classes, it's time for a lunch break. The student grabs a quick bite to eat and maybe meets up with friends for some socializing. College is not just about academics but also about building lifelong friendships and connections.In the afternoon, the student might have some free time between classes. This is an opportunity to catch up on assignments, study, or engage in extracurricular activities. Many students join clubs or organizations to pursue their hobbies or develop leadership skills.As the day progresses, evening approaches. Some students have part-time jobs, while others use this time to relax or engage in recreational activities. It's important to find a balance between academics and personal well-being.Finally, it's time for dinner. Students gather at the dining hall or cook their own meals if they live off-campus. Sharing a meal with friends or roommates is a great way to unwind and recharge after a long day.After dinner, the student might have some more studying to do or attend a club meeting. However, it's essential to make time for rest and relaxation.Going to bed at a reasonable hour ensures that the student is well-rested for the next day's activities.In conclusion, a college student's day is a whirlwind of classes, socializing, and personal growth. Balancing academics with extracurricular activities and personal well-being is the key to a successful college experience. Embracing the opportunities presented during this time paves the way for a bright and promising future.这里提供3000字的两篇文章，分别是“Women and Tradition”和“A Day in the Life of a College Student”。

我们在前线与敌人交战的部队遇到了强力的抵抗。
师长（DIVISION COMMANDER）命令我们营（BATTALION）绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。
然而，要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地（MARSHLAND）。
我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。
我们营长决定冒一下险。
我们在夜幕掩盖下出发，不顾困难，奋勇向前。
幸运的是，夜间温度突然下降到摄氏零下20度，烂泥地都结上了冰。
由于这寒冷的天气，我们于天亮前到达并从敌人后方发起进攻。
这一下扭转了战局。
敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。
The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the coldweather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化，永远改变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。
但另一方面，也带来了危害，尤其是公路死亡事故。
然而，现今由于计算机技术和电子传感器的使用，有可能消除发生的大多数交通事故。
例如，装在你汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾气并拒绝启动引擎。
同样，传感器还能通过接收在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号监测路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。
Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, todaythe application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.常言道，好的开端是成功的一半。
在求职时，求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。
我认为，事先作不作准备常常会影响求职者的成功机会。
我的一位朋友在一家计算机软件公司供职，年薪十万美元左右。
他根据自己的经历告诉我说，那些对未来的雇员具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。
那些没有在了解未来的雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望。
Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a differences in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 dollars a years in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success.全球化对中国年轻人具有重大影响。
