Unit 5 中国学生适应能力强六个月之前，谢蕾告别了她在中国的家人和朋友，登上了前往伦敦的飞机。这是她第一次离开自己的祖国。课间休息时我在学生餐厅碰见谢蕾，她告诉我的说，“我很激动，因为很久以前就梦想着能有这么一天，但是我又非常紧张，因为我不知道我所期望的是什么。” 谢蕾今年21岁，来我们大学上学，希望获得工商管理证书。大多数外籍学生在进入学位课程学习之前都要学一年预科，而谢蕾已经读完半年了。她非常看重预科课程。她说，“预科课程非常有益。在这儿学习跟在中国学习是相当不同的。你必须事先做好准备，或者在这里，或在中国。” “困难不仅仅是在学习方面，你还必须习惯一种全新的生活方式，在一开始的时候这就会占去你的全部注意力。”她说，“有时候我觉得自己像个小孩似的，我得学习如何使用电话，乘公交车时该怎样付款，在商店买东西时如果不知道商品的英文名字时，又怎样问店主。当我迷路不得不向路人问路时，经常听不懂他们说的话。他们说的话不像我们在听力磁带上听到的那样。”谢蕾说着笑了。谢蕾同房东一家人住在一起，他们给了她许多建议。虽然有些外国学生同其他同学一起住在学生宿舍或公寓房里，但有些学生选择寄宿在英国人的家中。有的房东家也有上大学的孩子，跟这样的人住在一起会给外国学生提供机会，更好地了解这个国家的日常生活和风俗习惯。“当我听到不理解的话语，或看到似乎有人干了很奇怪的事情时，我就可以向房东家里的人请教。”谢蕾解释说。“还有，当我想家的时候，房东家就是我家的替身，给了我很大的安慰。” 谢蕾的预科课程还帮助她熟悉了西方大学里在学术方面的要求。她对我说，“还记得我交给老师第一篇论文。我在网上找到一篇文章，看来和我所需要的信息恰好一样。于是我就那篇论文写了一篇类似小结性的文章，交给了老师。我原以为我会得到高分，结果只得了一个E。我非常吃惊，于是去找导师说理。”他告诉我说，首先，我不能把别人的话写下来不表示感谢。此外。他认为，别人的想法并不是重要的。他想要知道的是我所想的是什么。这倒把我弄糊涂了，因为该文作者所知道的比我多得多。导师给我解释说，我得阅读大量的、有关不同观点的文章，并进行分析。然后，在我的论文中，我得表明我自己的观点，并且引用别的作者的观点来说明为什么我相信我的观点。起初，我缺乏信心这样做，而现在我开始懂了，我的分数也有所提高了。谢蕾告诉我说，现在她在英国感到自在多了。开始时认为似乎很怪的事，如今觉得似乎很正常了。“我还有一件事要做，做了这件事后我才得安心。一直忙于适应环境，以至于我没有时间去搞社会活动。我认为在学习和社会生活之间的平衡也是很重要的。我打算参加大学了的几个俱乐部，我希望我会遇到一些有共同爱好的人。” 关于谢蕾的进步，我们将在今后几星期的报纸中做跟踪报道。同时我们衷心祝愿她事业有成。她是应该取得成功的。 Using language 秘鲁

人教版高中英语选修7各单元课文原文

Unit 1 Living well -Reading Hi, my n ame is Marry Field ing and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million". In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In additi on, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop thi ngs or bump into furn iture. Unfortun ately, the doctors don't know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live One day at a time. Un til I was ten years old I was the same as every one else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly represe nti ng my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for n early three mon ths. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it un der a microscope. Eve n after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some childre n in my primary school would laugh, whe n I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an abse nee, I felt stupid because I was beh ind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school becausemy fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real pers on in side my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year inven ted a computer football game and a big compa ny has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have bee n away for a while. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stro nger psychologically and become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them en courageme nt to live as rich and full a life as you do. Tha nk you for read ing my story.

You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don’t look any different from o ther people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others.
