课文A

许多年前,在美国,家家户户白天黑夜不锁门是司空见惯的。在本文中,格林叹惜人们不再相互信任,不得不凭借精密的安全设备来保护自己和财产。

锁之国

鲍勃·格林

小时候在家里,我们的前门总是夜不落锁。我不知道这是当地的一种说法还是大家都这么说的;“不落锁”的意思是掩上门,但不锁住。我们谁都不带钥匙;晚上最后一个回家的人把门关上,这就行了。

那样的日子已经一去不复返了。在乡下,在城里,·门不再关着不锁上,哪怕是傍晚一段时间也不例外。

在许多方面,郊区和农村甚至比巡查严密的城市街道更易受到攻击。统计显示,那些据称是安宁的地区的犯罪率上升得比城镇更为显著。不管怎么说,前门虚掩不落锁的时代是一

去不复返了。

取而代之的是防盗锁、防护链、电子报警系统,以及连接警署或私人保安公司的报警装置。郊区的许多人家在露台上安装了玻璃滑门,内侧有装得很讲究的钢条,这样就没人能把门撬开。

在最温馨的居家,也常常看得到窗上贴着小小的告示,称本宅由某家安全保卫机构或某个保安公司负责监管。

锁成了美国的新的象征。的确如此,一家大保险公司最近的一则公益广告没有用图表表明我们所处的危险有多大,而是用了一幅童车的图片,车身上悬着如今随处可见的挂锁。

广告指出,没错,确是保险公司理赔失窃物品,但谁来赔偿互不信任、担心害怕这种新氛围对我们的生活方式所造成的影响呢?谁来对美国从自由之国到锁之国这一蜕变作出精神赔偿呢?

因为那就是现状。我们已经变得如此习惯于保护自己不受美国生活新氛围的影响,如此习惯于设置障碍,以致无暇考虑这一切意味着什么。

出于某种原因,当我们觉得防范周密时才安心;我们没有想到问问自己:为什么会出现这种情况?为什么非得把自己与邻居和同住一城的居民隔绝开来,这一切究竟是从什么时候开始主宰我们生活的?

这一切确实主宰了我们的生活。如果你在一家大中型公司上班,你上下班很可能不好随意进出。你可能随身带着某种出入卡,电子的或别的什么的,因为这卡能让你进出工作场所。也许前台的保安认识你这张脸,平日一挥手让你进去,但事实明摆着,你所任职的公司深感面临威胁,因此要借助这些“钥匙”不让外人靠近。

这种现象并非向来有之。即使在十年前,大多数私营公司仍采取自由出入的做法。那时管理人员根本没想到过恰当的手段是不信任他人。

且看各地机场。过去家长常常带孩子去登机口看飞机起飞降落。这种事再也没有了。机场不再是一个有趣的学习场所;它们成了拥有最精密的安全检查系统的场所。

凭借着电子透视装置,我们似乎终于想出妙计让恐怖分子无法近身,无论是真的恐怖分子还是凭空臆想的。能解决这一问题真是如释重负,于是我们就不去多想这种状况对我们的生活质量意味着什么。如今我们走过这些电子搜查器时已经看都不看一眼了;这些装置,还有它们所代表的一切已经获胜。

我们的居住区处在强光源的照射之下;我们连哪怕像阴影这样小小的享受也不想给自己。

越来越多的商人正购置连接在电话机上、能剖析来电者声音的新机器。据说那种机器能让商人知道他的朋友或客户是否在撒谎,其出错概率很小。

所有这一切都是以“安全”的名义实施的:我们是这么跟自己说的。我们害怕,于是我们设法把害怕锁在外面,我们认定,那就是安全的意义。

其实不然;我们虽然有了这一切安全措施,但我们或许是人类文明史上最不安全的国民。还有什么更好的字眼能用来描述我们被迫选择的生活方式呢?还有什么更为可悲地表明我们在这个令人困惑的新时代所感受到的惶恐之情呢?

我们不信任何人。郊区的家庭主妇在家庭旅行用车钥匙链上挂着防强暴口哨,我们在自我防卫方面变得如此聪明,最终全都聪明反被聪明误。我们或许是把邪恶锁在了门外;但在这么做的同时我们把自己锁在里边了。

那也许是我们将来回顾这一时代时记得最牢的精神遗产:在对付我们中间无形的恐惧之时,我们成了自己的囚徒。在我们这个问题重重的时代,所有的人都是囚徒。

课文B

在美国,许多人拥有手枪。有人为了自卫买枪.,如盖尔·巴卡尔特。另外一些人则拒绝这么做,比如她的许多朋友,因为他们认为,枪支引发的问题比解决的更多。以前盖尔与她的朋友们持有相同的观点,但后来她改变了看法。读一读她所要说的,并判定她的选择是否明智。

我为什么买枪

盖尔·巴卡尔特

我在曼哈顿一个相当不错的社区长大。我的中上层阶级的社会背景从来与枪支无涉。我的父母要是觉得有威胁存在,他们就在门上再加把锁。

读高中时,我用一件开司米羊毛衫跟人换了个黑色的臂章。我参加人权游行,逃避民防演习,抗议越南战争。做个妙龄十八的少女,当名反战分子,真是轻松愉快。那时我还没有一个11岁的孩子要抚养。

(1)时至今日,我成了一个典型的被枪支制造商看中并视为其潜在买主的那位女人——成了成千上万个采取这种行动的人中一员。

一个万圣节的晚上,在我婚后移居的凤凰城,我开始怀疑自己的和平主义信条。一辆车与我的车差点迎头相撞时,我几乎都到家了。我以纽约城出租车司机的敏捷快速摇下车窗,高声咒骂那个开车的。他当即掉转车头,几乎撞上我的车后保险杠。这时,他和两个同伴从车窗伸出头来,嚷嚷着要强奸我,砍我,杀了我。

我开进了车道才想起丈夫不在家。这下我进退两难。那辆车尾随着跟了进来。我把车开到后门廊停下,冲进厨房,我家的那两条狗站在那儿等我。那三条汉子从汽车里一拥而出,进了院子。

我的心怦怦直跳。我抓起杰克和斯露西的颈圈,一条是200磅重的爱尔兰狼狗,另一条是它的伙伴,140磅重的北极犬。随后我一脚踢开后门——我吓坏了,变得暴躁好斗——我真的问那三个混蛋有没有种继续走过来。有狗相助,局势变得对我有利了,那三条汉子奔回可保安全的汽车里,嚷嚷着说明天来崩了我。总算幸运,他们没再露面。

几年后,我离了婚,带着3岁的儿子乔丹前往洛杉矶(那两条狗也死了)。几个星期后我送他去幼儿园,老师发现我是个单身母亲,马上提醒我,我刚搬入的居住区里有个强奸犯。

我给警察局打了个电话,他们证实了这一情况。那个强奸犯没有什么特别的作案规律。

有时他在受害者家里等候,有时他趁人入睡时潜入。当时正是夏天,可夜间我还是谨慎地锁住窗户,然后躺在床上,吓得浑身是汗。谢天谢地,那个强奸犯被逮住了,可那是在他又强暴了两名女子之后。

不久,报纸上又报道起一个丧心病狂的恐怖人物的事来。此人名叫理查德·巴米里,人称“入室杀手”,被抓获前,一连几个月残害、杀死他人。(2)据称他的犯罪行为非常残忍,他加害于人的欲望非常强烈,这使我开始对自己在任何情况下不杀人的信念产生了怀疑。取人性命的念头令我憎恨,但想及成为他人受害者就更可怕了。我开始问自己,你怎么跟一个杀人犯或强奸犯谈论和平主义呢?

最后,我决定要自我防卫,哪怕这意味着杀死他人。(3)我意识到,自己曾经积极提倡的一厢情愿的和平主义会加害自身,更糟的是,会危害我的儿子。于是我极不情愿地认定:为了我们的生存,我必须确保又一个最佳选择方案。我的选择是:依靠警察,或拥有一支枪。

我给不久前认识的一个人打电话,我记得他有好几支枪。他告诉我,他有一支史密斯一韦森0.38口径特种枪要出售,建议我买下,因为那支枪小巧好使,又有必要的威慑力。

我买下了枪。在同一天,我弄到了6发包着塑料头、一撞击就崩碎的特别的子弹。这些子弹不是打靶练习用的,是防身用的。

花了大约50美元,我还买了个金属安全盒。如果知道正确的暗码,它的按钮式锁一碰就开,大概比伸手去床头柜抽屉取它只慢一两秒钟。我知道儿子乔丹拿不到它,但我拿得到。

我把枪拿回家,乔丹兴奋得不得了。他不停地拿起来看,我紧张地瞧着。但我相信,知识仍是我们最有力的防范手段。由于我主张对孩子进行性知识教育、艾滋病知识教育以及让孩子学会开车,我不能不赞成教儿子关于枪的知识。

随后,我携枪带着儿子去射击场。我给乔丹租了一支0.22口径的手枪。(0.38口径的手枪他摆弄不了。)10分钟后他放下了枪,我不禁松了口气——他不喜欢握枪的感觉。

但他并不因此不来问我,如果我不在家时有人闯入+他能不能使用手枪。我大喝一声“不行!”,喊声响得把我们两人都吓得跳了起来。我解释说,要是真有人闯入,他人小,又灵活,完全可以跳窗逃命。

如今他对那支枪早没了兴趣。两人在我的卧室一起看电视时,我常常练习开启安全盒,乔丹替我计时。我已经快到只需要3秒钟了。我会问他,拿枪时第一件要做的事是什么,他像看傻瓜似的看着我,说:“要看看子弹是不是没上膛。不过我不会去碰它,也不会跟朋友们说的。”乔丹对枪已经厌倦了。

而我则盼着每个星期一——射击场的“女士专场”——我可以免费练习射击。我在柜台上买一盒子弹、几个靶子,戴上护眼罩和护耳罩,穿过双层门,来到射击区。

到了那儿,我把子弹装上膛,看着枪管上的瞄准器调整瞄准方向。我对着25英尺开外的真人大小的靶子的胸部连发6弹。随着一发发子弹洞穿对面画着的图像,我意识到,自己正在习惯拥有枪支,拿枪时不再害怕了。枪的重量握在手里已觉得挺舒服。我坚守坚持练习的诺言。太多的人由于不知如何使用枪而死在自己的枪下。

我花了好多年才决定买枪,又花了好几个星期才学会把子弹装上膛。枪让我恶梦不断。

一天夜晚,我梦见自己醒来,发现有人闯进屋子。我一把抓起枪,坐在床脚处等着。最

后我看见他拐过墙角朝我走来。他很高大,把过道都堵住了——根本不可能击不中。我不想开枪,.但我知道生死在此一搏。(4)我手指扣住扳机,最后用力一扣,在亲手结束了侵入者生命的同时也庆幸自己没有成为牺牲品。就在我决定开枪时我醒了。

我如释重负,不由得热泪流淌,幸亏这只是个梦。

我从来没有像在买枪一事上对某种行为的后果如此反复权衡——可是,我也从来没做过后果如此严重的事。?我的大多数朋友甚至不肯跟我谈论这事。他们认为,暴力只能导致暴力。

他们或许是对的。

63He published five of the most important papers in the history of science. This is because they proved that atoms and molecules existed, laid the foundation for quantum mechanics, describe the theory of special relativity, and advanced the famous equation: E=mc2

64He developed the Theory of Universal Gravitation then.

65Because his ideas were far ahead of other scientists of his time.

66He meant that like other scientists Einstein was a man of his time. If he hadn?t been born, his 1905 papers would eventually have been written in some form by others.

67What was remarkable about 1905 is that year a single person authored five of the most improtant papers in science. Einstein proposed in 1905 that light is particulate and for this he won the Nobel Prize in 1921.

68Because if you did so you would find yourself disagreeing with phisicist James Clerk Maxwell, an Authority Figure who had proved that light was an electomagnetic wave.

69He was not at all concerned about authority. He hated being told what was true.

70Science was dinner-table conversation in the Einstein household when he was young. His interest in science came naturally.

71He credited his discoveries to imagination and endless questioning more so that otthodox intelligence.

72He struggled to produce a unified field theory, combinging gravity with other forces of nature, but he failed.

73He found Einstein?s brain looked much like any other.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去,留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时,我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意:竖起耳朵,闭上嘴巴,但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室,大步走了进去。然而,进了教室,我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢?犹豫再三,我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课,”教授开始上课。天哪,我还以为这里是文学课呢!我的脖子后面直冒冷汗,摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室,却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办?上课途中就站起来走出去?教授会不会生气?大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上,尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿,便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去,就在这时,我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了,我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间,我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过,然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里,我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是,食堂里所有的学生都站了起来,鼓掌欢呼,我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景,而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里,我独自品尝羞辱,用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天,我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物,踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候,我对他满怀同情。他站起身,咧嘴大笑,双手紧握高举在头顶上,做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂,可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻,我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间,谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标,而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生,还有几个孩子受了伤,其中有一个小女孩,8岁左右,双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后,医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然,如果不立即采取行动,她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血,但是他们的医药用品很有限,没有血浆,因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语,护士会讲一点法语,但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语,只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言,结合大量的手势,努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说,除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴,否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求,孩子们瞪大眼睛,一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而,只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血,他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿,一只小手慢慢地举了起来,然后垂了下去,一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢,谢谢,”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字?” 8 “兴,”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上,手臂用酒精消毒后,针就扎了进去。在整个过程中,兴僵直地躺着,没有出声。 10 过了一会儿,他发出了一声长长的抽泣,但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴,疼吗?”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头,但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来,并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他,兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在,偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛,用拳头堵住嘴,想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧,因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时,一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭,她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后,又立即作了回答。护士一边说,一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头,她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿,小男孩不再哭了,他睁开眼睛,用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头,小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血,小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命,没有比这更伟大的爱了。
