大学英语自学教程上册课文翻译第一课 Text A「课文译文」怎样成为一名成功的语言学习者“学习一门语言很容易,即使小孩也能做得到。
”大多数正在学习第二语言的成年人会不同意这种说法。
对他们来说,学习一门语言是非常困难的事情。
他们需要数百小时的学习与练习,即使这样也不能保证每个成年语言学习者都能学好。
语言学习不同于其他学习。
许多人很聪明,在自己的领域很成功,但他们发现很难学好一门语言。
相反,一些人学习语言很成功,但却发现很难在其他领域有所成就。
语言教师常常向语言学习者提出建议:“要用新的语言尽量多阅读”,“每天练习说这种语言”,“与说这种语言的人住在一起”,“不要翻译——尽量用这种新的语言去思考”,“要像孩子学语言一样去学习新语言”,“放松地去学习语言。
”然而,成功的语言学习者是怎样做的呢语言学习研究表明,成功的语言学习者在许多方面都有相似之处。
首先,成功的语言学习者独立学习。
他们不依赖书本和老师,而且能找到自己学习语言的方法。
他们不是等待老师来解释,而是自己尽力去找到语言的句式和规则。
他们寻找线索并由自己得出结论,从而做出正确的猜测。
如果猜错,他们就再猜一遍。
他们都努力从错误中学习。
成功的语言学习是一种主动的学习。
因此,成功的语言学习者不是坐等时机而是主动寻找机会来使用语言。
他们找到(说)这种语言的人进行练习,出错时请这些人纠正。
他们不失时机地进行交流,不怕重复所听到的话,也不怕说出离奇的话,他们不在乎出错,并乐于反复尝试。
当交流困难时,他们可以接受不确切或不完整的信息。
对他们来说,更重要的是学习用这种语言思考,而不是知道每个词的意思。
最后,成功的语言学习者学习目的明确。
他们想学习一门语言是因为他们对这门语言以及说这种语言的人感兴趣。
他们有必要学习这门语言去和那些人交流并向他们学习。
他们发现经常练习使用这种语言很容易,因为他们想利用这种语言来学习。
你是什么样的语言学习者如果你是一位成功的语言学习者,那么你大概一直在独立地,主动地,目的明确地学习。

I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curlyhair, straight hair, a smaller nose, , bigger muscles, longer legs.2 Do any of these statements sound familiar?（承上句）Are you used to puttingyourself down?

Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect theirself-esteem.3 Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feelin themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers.

自考00015英语（二）练习题-12英语（二）练习十二（Unit 12）一、阅读判断 1、Moderate Earthquake Strikes EnglandA moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2021, toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One woman suffered minor head and neck injuries.\The British Geological Survey said the 4. 3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the Channel Tunnel.Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 15 seconds.\was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.\said Hendrick van Eck, 27, of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London. \It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed hopping up and down.\There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year, but they are rare in Britain. The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4.8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.The country's strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 1931, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale. British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France. Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However, people should not be scared too much by this prediction, Musson said, as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place. This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.<1> 、France and several other European countries sent their medical teams to work side by side with the British doctors. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<2> 、Many walls and chimneys were damaged during this quake.（） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<3> 、The country's strongest earthquake took place in London in 1580.（）A、RightB、WrongC、Not mentioned<4> 、Musson predicted that another earthquake would occur in southeast England sooner or later. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<5> 、It can be inferred from the passage that England is rarely hit byhigh magnitude earthquakes. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<6> 、The modern earthquake warning system of Britain could detect a forthcoming quake. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<7> 、During the April 28 earthquake, the whole England was left without power. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<8> 、The Channel Tunnel was closed for 10 hours after the earthquake occurred. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<9> 、It was reported that one lady had got her head and neck injured, but not seriously. （） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned<10> 、The April 28 quake was stronger than the one of 2002.（） A、Right B、WrongC、Not mentioned二、概况段落大意和补全句子 1、Boredom at Work① You might find yourself staring at the clock, willing it to move faster so the boring workday will finally end. If your job offers little in the way of stimulation, there are steps you can take inside and outside the workplace.② If you're bored with your job, it could be a sign that you've mastered the basic requirements and are ready for more of a challenge. You might not have been in your position long enough to request a promotion. Still, you can take steps to enhance your current role. Ask your boss if there are any projects you can help with. Volunteer to train less experienced colleagues. You'll feel more stimulated at work and also increase your chances of future advancement.③ If you feel there is nothing left to learn in your present position, take steps to increase your knowledge. Your company's website might have online courses you can take during your slow periods, with your manager's permission. Enroll in training classes your company offers in areas that interest you. You also can pursue educational opportunities outside of the workplace, such as college classes, industry-specific training programs orself-improvement courses. If the knowledge you acquire doesn't help you in your present position, it might eventually help you move into a morefulfilling position.④ Look for ways to challenge yourself. If your job involves performing repetitive tasks, set a quota for the number of times you can accomplish a particular task during the course of a shift. This will give you something to shoot for. If you have co-workers who perform the same tasks, make a friendly wager to see who can do the most.

I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curlyhair, straight hair, a smaller nose, , bigger muscles, longer legs.2 Do any of these statements sound familiar?（承上句）Are you used to puttingyourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton ofchanges（大量的变化）in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image ofyourself. Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect theirself-esteem.3 Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feelin themselves, and how worthwhile they feel. Self-esteem is important becausefeeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has highself-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his orher behavior,and will enjoy life more.Body image is how someone feels about his or her ownphysical appearance. Formany people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closelylinked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care moreabout how others see them.（承上句）4 What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?PubertySome teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because thebody goes through many changes. (1)These changes, combined with a natural desireto feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves withothers.

It is widely believed that every word has a correct meaning, that we learn these meanings mainly from teachers and grammarians, and that dictionaries and grammars are the supreme authority in matters of meaning and usage. Few people ask by what authority the writers of dictionaries and grammars say what they say. I once got into a dispute with an English woman over the pronunciation of a word and offered to look it up in the dictionary.or? I am English. I was born and brought up in England, The way I speak is English.” Such self-assurance about one’s own language is fairly common among the English. In the United States, however, anyone who is willing to quarrel with the dictionary is regarded as either eccentric or mad.

I poured half the bottle of bath gel into the streaming water and added a hearty(大的) handful of chamomile(春黄菊)bath salts. Then I lit a vanillascented (香草味的) candle and gingerly stepped into the bathtub. With a grateful sigh, I immersed myself in my homemade spa. I heard the phone ring somewhere off in the distance and smiled.

I woke up feeling cranky（脾气坏的）. I didn't want to do housework, though the laundry was piling up. I didn't want to read the work I brought home from the office. I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.（承上总结句）
一醒来我的心情就很糟糕。我不想做家务，尽管要洗的衣服已经堆积如山。 我也不想理会那些我从办公室带回家的工作。我不想做任何负责任的事。这 就是那样的一天。

As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb(跳动)just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided（消退）. As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. （承上启下句） Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape（免于）it? I absolutely should be in bed.
下午晚些时候，我恢复了精神，身体上，精神上，情绪上全都焕然一新。我 也不再感到无助，反而感觉到充满力量。我给了自己倾听并满足自己需求的 机会，像照顾家人一样关心了一下自己。我根本不需要生病这样的理由去休 息。这其实是一个非常简单的意识，不过难道不是那些简单的事情让我们感 到自由吗?

I shuffled（拖步走）back to bed, wiggled（扭动）under the covers and shut my eyes. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake. I ought to get up. But no, there was that headache and the beginning of a sniffle（吸鼻子）. Better get the tissues.
I talked to myself. Okay, I said, you need a day off. Admit it. Accept it. Toss out(扔掉) the guilt and enjoy a mini-vacation. What would you like to do? Read? You're already doing that. Pamper(纵容,放纵) yourself? Take a bubble bath. Be a hermit(隐士)? Let the machine answer the phone.
By late afternoon, I was back at it(恢复原样), refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I felt empowered. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to(注意,留心) my family. I didn't need the crutch(拐 杖) of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn't it the simple things that set us free?
或许我根本就没有感冒。我其实也并非真想生病。说实话，我只是想要一点 闲暇的时间而已。我想让自己远离人群、琐事、职业以及外面的世界。我就 非得等到生病了才能那样吗?孩子能不上课或不做家务的唯一方法就是生病， 但我已经不再是个孩子了。我不得不装出生病的症状来给自己找借口吗?不， 我决定了，我不需要。

Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. I needed to nurture(养育) myself away from people, chores(琐事), career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite(暂停) from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. Did I have to manufacture(捏造) symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.
