Unit 1-Part A既省钱又快乐：自己动手的乐趣我家房子里的每一个架子和许多壁橱都是我父亲亲手做的，我就在这里长大。
他亲手贴上我们浴室的瓷砖，铺好家里的地毯，贴上墙纸，还搭上了我们的攀登架。
我的公公也是个DIY专家——他为自己的房子重新铺设了电线。
既然这样，为什么我和我丈夫却几乎什么也没学到？为什么去年在面对我们新家的时候，看着长长的房屋整修单，我们面面相觑，同意找专业人士来帮忙呢？直到我们算了笔账才突然发现，DIY似乎是我们唯一的选择。
因此，一手拿着锤子，一手拿着电钻，我们尝试着自己完成那份长单子上的部分项目。
虽然我们边摸索边学习，但让我们惊讶的是我们事实上是很享受这个过程。
我敢说，拼装架子、粉刷房间，甚至是做一些业余水平的木工活，实际上都非常有趣，也让人很有成就感。
最重要的是，我们省下了一大笔钱。
好像不只是我们是这样的。
很多曾经把DIY当成大麻烦一样惧怕的人变得越来越自信了。
最近一次的家庭报告显示，有将近一半（47%）的调查表示，他们将在接下来的12个月内做某些形式的DIY——从粉刷、装修到美化花园。
来自威克斯的专家托德认为，经济衰退并不是促使人们进行DIY的唯一原因。
他说：“虽然这对于一部分人来说是很重要的因素，但是另外一部分人则意识到，他们只需要付出一点劳动，就能给自己的家增添很大的价值。
还有一些人仅仅是想充分利用便利条件，因为在很多地方都可以获得需要的信息和建议——从书籍到电视节目，到专业杂志，再到DIY门店中的指导手册和卡片。
网络也是寻找小窍门、建议以及指导视频的绝妙方式。
”帕特森建议从简单的任务开始，例如组装平板家具、安装支架、更换室内门把手，还要做好功课，确切了解要做些什么事情。
她说：“据最近一次调查显示，53%的人仍然相当害怕DIY，其原因主要是缺乏自信。
但这种自信能够很容易建立起来。
”不知不觉中你会发现，你能够安装窗帘杆、更换马桶座、贴浴室的瓷砖和墙纸了。
“你得清楚一项工作要花费你多少时间。

现代大学英语精读4第一课翻译第一篇：现代大学英语精读4 第一课翻译Thinking as a Hobby 思考作为一种嗜好还是个孩子的时候我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。
后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。
那个时候我一定是个很让大人头疼的小孩。
当然我已经忘记自己当初在他们眼里是什么样子了,但却记得他们一开始在我眼中就是如何不可理喻的。
第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长，当然这样的方式，这样的结果是他始料不及的。
他的办公室里有一些小雕像，就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。
其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。
她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。
而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。
在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去，我懵懵懂懂地把那个抽屉上标着的“A-AH”理解成为猎物临死前绝望的哀鸣/惨叫。
在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。
过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解,才知道把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。
那位裸体的女士是米洛斯的维纳丝。
她象征着爱。
她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。
美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。
那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。
要买到表达生活在你心中的意义的小石膏像是很容易的事情。
我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。
用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。
其实应该说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。
大人们从来不讲道理。
每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。
校长透过亮晶晶的眼镜片眼神暗淡地看着我，：“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“你们若想避免因为老是向人讨钱而有失尊严的话，这兴许是一种办法。

塑料袋上印着一条信息说，需要招聘人投递这样的袋子，这活儿既轻松又赚钱。
（“轻轻松松赚大钱!”）“我不在乎失不失尊严，”大儿子回答说。
“我可以忍受，”他的弟弟附和道。
“看到你们俩伸手讨钱讨惯了一点也不感到尴尬的样子，真使我痛心，”我说。
孩子们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。

“你过得怎么样”我问道。

第一辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的广告；第二辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的广告。
我不知道这一辆装的啥，但我肯定又是四千份什么的。
既然这事是你促成的，我想你或许想了解事情的进展。
”我之所以受到指责，事情原来是这样：由于发生了一起报业工人罢工，通常夹在星期日报纸里的广告插页，必须派人直接投送出去。
公司答应给我们的孩子六百美金，任务是将这些广告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户人家去。
“不费吹灰之力!”我们上大学的大儿子嚷道。
“六百块!”他的弟弟应声道，“我们两个钟点就能干完!”“西尔斯和沃德的广告通常都是报纸那么大的四页，”妻子告诉我说，“现在我们门廊上堆着三万二千页广告。
就在我们说话的当儿，两个大个子正各抱着一大捆广告走过来。
这么多广告，我们可怎么办”“你让孩子们快干，”我指示说。
大学英语精读第4册课文翻译及答案
⼤学英语精读第4册课⽂翻译及答案⼤学英语精读第四册课⽂翻译Unit 1两个⼤学男孩不清楚赚钱需要付出艰苦的劳动被⼀份许诺轻松赚⼤钱的⼴告吸引了。
男孩们很快就明⽩如果事情看起来好得不像真的那多半确实不是真的。
轻轻松松赚⼤钱约翰?G?哈贝尔“你们该看看这个 ”我向我们的两个读⼤学的⼉⼦建议道。
“你们若想避免因为⽼是向⼈讨钱⽽有失尊严的话这兴许是⼀种办法。
”我将挂在我们门把⼿上的、装在⼀个塑料袋⾥的⼏本杂志拿给他们。
塑料袋上印着⼀条信息说需要招聘⼈投递这样的袋⼦这活⼉既轻松⼜赚钱。
“轻轻松松赚⼤钱!” “我不在乎失不失尊严 ”⼤⼉⼦回答说。
“我可以忍受 ”他的弟弟附和道。
“看到你们俩伸⼿讨钱讨惯了⼀点也不感到尴尬的样⼦真使我痛⼼”我说。
孩⼦们说他们可以考虑考虑投递杂志的事。
我听了很⾼兴便离城出差去了。
午夜时分我已远离家门在⼀家旅馆的房间⾥舒舒服服住了下来。
电话铃响了是妻⼦打来的。
她想知道我这⼀天过得可好。
“好极了!”我兴⾼采烈地说。
“你过得怎么样?”我问道。
“棒极了!”她⼤声挖苦道。
“真棒!⽽且这还仅仅是个开始。
⼜⼀辆卡车刚在门前停下。
”“⼜⼀辆卡车?”“今晚第三辆了。
第⼀辆运来了四千份蒙哥马利-沃德百货公司的⼴告第⼆辆运来四千份西尔斯-罗伯克百货公司的⼴告。
我不知道这⼀辆装的啥但我肯定⼜是四千份什么的。
既然这事是你促成的我想你或许想了解事情的进展。
”我之所以受到指责事情原来是这样由于发⽣了⼀起报业⼯⼈罢⼯通常夹在星期⽇报纸⾥的⼴告插页必须派⼈直接投送出去。
公司答应给我们的孩⼦六百美⾦任务是将这些⼴告插页在星期天早晨之前投递到四千户⼈家去。
“不费吹灰之⼒!”我们上⼤学的⼤⼉⼦嚷道。
“六百块!”他的弟弟应声道 “我们两个钟点就能⼲完!”“西尔斯和沃德的⼴告通常都是报纸那么⼤的四页 ”妻⼦告诉我说 “现在我们门廊上堆着三万⼆千页⼴告。
就在我们说话的当⼉两个⼤个⼦正各抱着⼀⼤捆⼴告⾛过来。
这么多⼴告我们可怎么办?”“你让孩⼦们快⼲ ”我指⽰说。

大学英语精读4课文翻译
鹿和能量循环阿伦·N·莫恩有些人说是爱情推动世界运转；另一些并不这么罗曼蒂克而头脑更实际的人却说，是金钱，而不是爱情。
但真实情况却是，能量驱使世界运转。
能量是生态系统的货币。
只有当食物转化为能量。
生命才成为可能，并进而为生长、繁殖和生存而利用能量获取更多的食物。
所有的生命都依靠这一循环得以维系。
一般人都知道。
野生动物能够一年一年地生存下去，靠的是在食物丰富的夏秋两季尽量地多吃，并通常以脂肪的形式将多余的部分储存起来，到了冬天食物稀少的困难日子，就用这些储备的脂肪，维持生命。
然而，可能很少有人知道、尽管有储备的脂肪，野生动物冬天消耗的能量比夏天少。
白尾鹿就是这方面的一个很好的例证。
和大多数野生动物一样，鹿也在食物充足、营养丰富的夏秋两季繁殖、生长，储存脂肪。
一只发育成熟、体格健壮的母鹿，在十一月份怀胎，次年五月底或六月初产下两只幼鹿，在这种情况下。
她必须寻找食物以获得必要的能量，不仅是满足其自身身体需要，而且还要为幼鹿提供乳汁。
新植物生长茂盛之时也正是产乳的最佳期。
这个时间安排得很好，因为生产乳汁是一个能量消耗的过程——它需要大量的食物。
只有该地区有丰富的食物资源，才能满足这种消耗夏天一天天地过去，幼鹿也渐渐地长大，变得较少依赖母乳，而更加依靠正在生长的植物为其食物来源。
成年雄鹿在夏季长角并储存脂肪。
雄鹿和雌鹿在秋天都继续摄取高质量食物、以储存脂肪、准备越冬。
雌鹿和幼鹿因为大量的能量要用于产奶或生长、所以脂肪的积累不如完全成熟的雄鹿那样快。
脂肪储备就像银行存款一样，到了冬天食物来源缺乏或是下大雪难以获得食物时、就可支取使用。
秋去冬来时．还会发生其他变化。
幼鹿脱掉有斑点的皮毛，所有鹿的毛都变厚，颜色变深。
幼鹿换毛一般发生在九月。
十—月、十二月天气变冷的时候是其皮毛最厚的时候。
另外，大自然还提供进一步保障，以帮助鹿度过冬天——鹿身体内部作相应调节。
以放慢新陈代谢的速度，即生理活动的速度，从而降低能量消耗。

第三单元求职面试课文A自己经营公司的哈维·麦凯经常对求职者进行面试。
文中他告诉我们关于雇主看重什么样品质的秘密，并提出4点建议，帮助你显得比众人突出。
得到你想要的工作哈维·B·麦凯我经营着一家有350名左右员工的制造公司，我本人常常要对求职者进行面试，决定是否聘用。
我喜欢与可能成为营业员的人交谈，因为他们会是我们与顾客联系的纽带。
不久前一个新近毕业的大学生到我办公室谋求一份销售工作。
我问他为这次面试做过哪些准备。
他说他在什么地方看到过有关本公司的一些情况。
他有没有给麦凯信封公司的人打过电话，好了解更多有关我们的情况?没打过。
他有没有给我们的供应厂商打过电话?还有我们的客户?都没有。
他可曾在就读的大学里查问过有没有校友在本公司就职，以便向他们了解一些情况?他可曾请朋友向他提问，对他进行模拟面试?可曾去图书馆查找过有关本公司的剪报?他事先有没有写封信来介绍自己，告诉我们自己为这次面试在做哪些准备，自己何以能胜任此项工作?面试之后他是否打算再写一封信，表明自己加盟本公司的诚意?这封信会不会在面试后的24小时之内送到我们手上，也许甚至是亲自送来?他对上述每一个问题的回答全都一样：没有。
这样我就只剩一个问题要问了：如果此人代表本公司去见可能成为我们客户的人，他准备工作会做得怎样?答案不言自明。
在笔者看来，如欲被聘用，应注意四个要诀：1．准备去赢。
“一日不练，自己知道，”音乐家中有这样的说法。
“两日不练，音乐评论家知道。
三日不练，观众知道。
”．我们在观看世界级音乐家或顶尖运动员的表演时，看到的并不是使他们变成出类拔萃人物的长年苦练。
世界上诸如迈克尔·乔丹这样的顶尖人物无疑具有≤≥凡才能，但他们在篮球场上也是第一个到，最后一个走。
同样的苦练适用于人类的各项活动。
若想被聘用，就要准备去赢。
我大学毕业时，我极有可能终身从事同一个工作。
当时情况也的确如此。
但如今已不再是一生被聘去做一个工作了。
指导就业的专家认为，今天的大学毕业生在他们的生涯中可能会经历多达10次的职业变动。
听上去似乎压力不小。
然而，如果你作了准备，压力就是别人的——那些没做准备的人。
你不可能得到你想要的每份工作。
最好的售货员也不可能每次都成交。
迈克尔．乔丹投篮命中率勉强过半。
但认真准备一次面试的时间不会多于马马虎虎准备五次面试的时间，而你成功的可能性要多得多。
2．永不中断学习。
最近我和一位90高龄的老者搭档打双人网球。
我琢磨着那会是什么结局；可我的担心是多余的。
我们以两个6：1连胜两局。
我们交换场地打第三局时，他对我说“我打反手击球你不介意吧?我向来喜欢多练练自己的弱点。
”好一个永不中断学习的精彩实例。
顺便说一下，我们6：1赢了第三局。
走出赛场，我那90高龄的搭档笑着说：“你也许想知道我在85岁以上年龄段的美国网球双打排名第一!”他想的不是年届90，想的甚至也不是85岁高龄。
他想的是第一。
如果你努力克服自己的弱点，发挥自己的优势，你同样可以做得那么好。
要有能力竞争，就得终生学习。
5．相信自己，哪怕没人相信你。
还记得那4分钟跑一英里的往事吗?几百年来，运动员们一直试图实现这一目标，最终认定人类的身体无法做到。
我们的骨结构不适应，我们的肺活量跟不上。
可是，有一个人证明那些专家错了。
奇迹中的奇迹是，在罗杰·班尼斯特打破4分钟一英里的纪录6个星期之后，约翰·兰迪又以几乎快出整整2秒的成绩打破了班尼斯特的纪录。
此后，有大约800多名运动员打破了4分钟一英里的记录。
几年前，我和女儿米米参加了纽约马拉松比赛。
发令枪一响，23,000名运动员冲出起跑线——最后有21,244名运动员到达终点。
第一名是一位以2小时11分钟零1秒跑完全程的肯尼亚人。
第21,244名运动员是一位越战老兵。
他用了3天9小时37分钟跑完全程。
没有双腿的他坚持跑完了26．2英里。
我和女儿在比赛的最初几分钟内超过了他，当时顿觉勇气倍增，一定要跑完全程。
别听旁人说你不能实现自己的目标。
谁说你不比你的竞争对手更坚强、更努力、更能干?要知道，所谓目标就是有最后限期的梦想：写成文字，可测量，可确认，可实现。
4．想方设法显得与众不同。
在我看来，纽约大多数的出租车司机即使不算无礼透顶，至少也是不友好的。
车辆大都十分肮脏，几乎所有的车都触目地装有难以穿透的防弹隔离装置。
可近日我在拉瓜迪亚机场跳上了一辆出租车，你猜怎么样?车子竟然千千净净。
放着优美的音乐，而且没有隔离装置。
“请到帕克街酒店，”我对司机说。
他笑容满面地说：“你好，我叫沃利，”他说着递给我份保证书。
一份保证书!上面写着他将安全、礼貌、准时地将我送到目的地。
车开后，他拿出几份报纸说：“请随意翻阅。
”他还让我随意品尝后座篮子里的水果。
接着他又拿出手机说：“您要是想打电话，每分钟1美元。
”我大吃一惊，脱口问道：“你这么做有多久了?”他回答说：“有三、四年了。
”“我知道不该问，”我说，“可是，你能多挣多少小费?”“一年12，000到14，000美元左右，”他得意地回答说。
他不知道他成了我心目中的英雄。
他就是一个生动的例证，说明你总是可以争取到成功的机会。
我的良师益友柯特·卡尔森是明尼苏达州的首富，拥有一家酒店和旅行社，营业收入约达90亿美元。
一次我要去纽约赴会，柯特慷慨地请我乘坐他的私人飞机。
碰巧那天明尼苏达州遭受多年不遇的暴风雪袭击。
明尼阿波利斯·圣保罗国际机场几十年来第一次关闭。
虽然暴风雪仍在肆虐，机场还是特地为小型飞机清出了一条跑道。
我们正在跑道上滑行准备起飞时，柯特转过头来兴奋地说：“看哪，哈维，雪地上没有痕迹啊!”柯特·卡尔森，当时年届70，富甲一方，竟然还会因为自己是第一个而如此兴奋。
在我看来，这些正是关键之所在。
准备去赢。
永不中断学习。
相信自己，哪怕没人相信你。
想方设法显得与众不同。
然后就出发，在雪地上留下你自己的足迹。
多元文化社会课文A美国是否会如同历史上其他强国一样走向衰亡?作者持否定观点，认为美国创建的社会模式不同于任何已出现的社会模式。
读一读他的观点，看看你是否同意。
美国大拼盘里扎德·卡普钦斯基仅看美国依然吸引着千百万人这一事实就足以证明美国并未衰落。
人们不会被吸引到一个衰落的地方。
在美国这样一个错综复杂的国家，当然能看到衰落的迹象，如债务、犯罪活动、无家可归者、吸毒、逃避现实社会的人。
但美国的主要特征，亦即它给人的最初的、最持久的印象，却是充满活力、生机勃勃、不断进取、积极向上。
如果你知道世界上有广大地区完全处于瘫痪状态，无法取得任何进步，那就难以想象这个国家在衰落。
我很难同意保罗·肯尼迪在锣C强之兴衰》中的论点，即美国将不可避免地重蹈历史覆辙。
历史一直如此循环——强国衰落，为新兴的帝国所取代。
但或许我们能从另外一个角度看待正在发生的一切。
我有种感觉，这个国家正在发生的一切不仅仅关乎一国之命运。
以欧洲为中心的美国或许是在衰落，正由一个新的太平洋文化所取代，这一文化包括但并不局限于美国。
从历史的角度来看，美国或许不会衰落，相反，它将与太平洋文化相融合，创建一种广泛的太平洋拼盘文化，一种依靠最现代的通讯技术连接的拉丁文化与亚洲文化的混合文化。
传统意义上的历史一直是各个国家的历史。
但在美国，自罗马帝国以来，首次出现了创建一个文化的历史的可能。
现在第一次有了这样一个机遇，在新的基础上用新技术创建一个有着前所未有的开放性的多元文化。
一个有着多种精神中心的文化。
一个永远抛弃种族中心主义心态、部落心态的文化。
那是一种破坏性的心态。
洛杉矶就是这一新兴文化的先兆。
洛杉矶以及南加州与第三世界和亚洲的联系要比与美国的民族、文化之根欧洲的联系密切，因此将以一个多民族、多元文化的社会进入21世纪。
这是一种全新的现象。
一个文化由如此之多的种族、民族和文化同时创建，这样的先例从未有过。
这种新型的文化多元化在人类历史上闻所未闻。
由于来自第三世界的新移民所具有的将本族文化融入美国文化的令人难以置信的本领，美国正变得越来越多元化。
美国有“主导”文化的概念时刻在改变。
来到美国，你会不可思议地发现自己身在别地——来到了汉城，台北，墨西哥城。
你在洛杉矶街头行走，就可以感受到韩国的文化氛围。
这个大城市的居民成了自己居住地的游客。
这里有规模很大的社区，住着老挝人、越南人、柬埔寨人、墨西哥人、萨尔瓦多人、危地马拉人、伊朗人、日本人、韩国人、亚美尼亚人以及中国人。
这里我们能找到小台北、小西贡、小东京、韩国城、小中美洲、威斯特伍德的伊朗人社区、好莱坞的亚美尼亚人社区，以及东洛杉矶墨西哥裔美国人范围很大的居住区。
洛杉矶市的小学系统共使用81种语言，其中鲜有欧洲语言。
美国文化的这一变化预示着人类构成的普遍趋势。
洛杉矶市90％的移民来自第三世界。
到21世纪初，90％的世界人口将是深肤色的；所有生活在地球上的人中，白人不会超过11％。
只有在美国才会出现这种情况：在北部桔县环境作过美化的、超净的高科技园区，有家7年前尚不存在的个人电脑公司。
公司的所在地那时还是草莓地。
如今，这是一家有着5亿美元资产、在香港和台湾都设有工厂的大公司。
这家公司由3位年轻的移民创办——一位巴基斯坦穆斯林和两位来自香港的中国人。
他们1984年才成为美国公民。
如今他们每个人的身价都可能值3千万美元。
在这家公司走走，我们看到的都是年轻的深肤色面孔——越南人、柬埔寨人、老挝人和墨西哥人——还有最先进的技术。
员工文化混合着拉丁美洲天主教的家庭价值观念和亚洲儒家的效忠集体的观念。
招聘从来不张贴告示用人都是通过在南加州居住的家庭网络完成的。
雇员常常会要求一周加班20小时，好多赚钱帮助大家庭成员购买房屋。
