University students come from different parts of the country with various purposes. However, a close look at their reasons for studying at the university will enable us to classify then roughly into three groups: those who have a passion for learning, those who wish to attain a bright future, and those who learn with no definite purpose. Firstly, there are many students who learn simply because they pursue their goal of learning. Some read a wealth of British and American novels Because they are keenly interested in literature. Others sit in front of the computer screen working on a new program, virtually day and night, because they find some computer programs fascinating and they dream of becoming a “Bill Gates” one day.

Secondly, there are students who work hard mainly for a better and more prosperous future. It seems that the majority of students fall into this group. After admission to the university, they read books after books to acquire knowledge from all of the resources which are available to them, and finally to succeed in the future job market.

Thirdly there are still some students who learn without a clear goal. They take courses, finish the homework, enjoy life on campus, but don't want to sample anything new or challenging. They have no idea what they will be doing after college. And they may end up with nothing in their lives.

孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派的创始人，被尊称为古代的“圣人”。他的言论和生平活动记录在《论语》一书中。《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作，对后来历代的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。不研究《论语》，就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。孔子的很多思想，尤其是其教育思想，对中国社会产生了深远的影响。这21世纪的今天，孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视，而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’ traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’ thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community.

Parents and teenagers have different or even opposite things to worry about. For

example, when a mother might have a hard time understanding one why her teenagers' room is always an embarrassment of dirty stuff, the teenagers are more worried about the next exams and may think it is ridiculous for their mother to insist on keeping a clean room. It is therefore important for you to appreciate the differences and learn to communicate with your teenagers properly. Otherwise, your teenagers may say nothing and shut you out of their personal life, their refusal to talk with you may even create emotional stress in your life.

Learn effective ways to communicate can reverse the situation of a difficult relationship, reduce the stress of your life and little to a friendly relationship with your teenagers. First, you should learn to discuss serious problems in the conversations. So, important topics such as driving vehicle and building a romantic relationship, could be dealt with through the conversations.

Second, learn to be an active listener. Many parents also overwhelmed with their work that they could hardly take some time for their beloved children. Spend your time listening carefully to what your children like to talk about, and make sure your children feel they are being taken seriously. This will increase the chances of good communication.

There have been increased demands for higher education to provide students with better courses and more opportunities. To deal with this complex issue, colleges and universities are turning to the Internet for quick access to its rich educational resources.

Now internet has been accepted as the preferred technology to many other methods in colleges and universities. Many teachers now routinely post their teaching materials online. A growing number of schools offer at least some undergraduate courses over the Internet.

There are two different models of making use of the Internet for higher education.

The first model seeks to improve existing courses by using the Internet. This model provides high-speed Internet connectivity to all students, faculty, and stuff. While this model uses the Internet, it doesn't require many changes, and it keeps most existing, institutional structures unchanged.

A different,more revolutionary model regards the Internet as indispensable to an im portant change in higher education,for it is believed that the Internet can transform teacher-centered instruction to student-centered to learning.

This,as a result,will bring about basic change to our university education.

In January 2011, Daniel Hernandez saved congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford`s life in a mass shooting in Tucson. He kept her alive by applying pressure to her wounds and speaking tender words of sympathy until medical people arrived. He was hailed as a hero by the public. Although his devotion to public service is remarkable in his book They Call Me a Hero: A Memoir of My Youth, Hernandez insists that he is not a hero. Hernandez said that he initially resisted the idea of writing a book about his experience on that day of enormous tragedy. “I had been pushed by a few publishers after that incident,” he said. “I thought heroes should be people who make a lifetime commitments to helping others.”

However, Hernandez, now a school board member, had come to realize that he would be interested in writing a book focusing on his public service. ” As a young official, I`ve faced some big challenges, and I want young people to know that they need to face challenges and involve themselves in their communities.”

When asked if he had any plan with a second book, Hernandez said his major purpose at present was to continue to serve his community and pursue his passion as an advocate for education. “But I`m not going to say no,” he said.

For several centuries, cricket has been a very popular sport in England. It has been enjoyed by both professional and amateur players. This super-popular game is bat-and-ball game played between two teams of 11 player. It can provide you with health benefits like building endurance and physical fitness. But for a team sport, cricket also place individual players under unusual pressure because every team player is independent or each other.

Cricket might have started in early 16th- century England. Written records present evidence of a game known as a creag being paid by prince Edward at Newenden, Kent in 1301; and it is possible, despite no hard evidence, that this was a form of cricket. By the end of the 18th century cricket had developed into a national sport of England. The growth of the British Empire led to cricket being played abroad and by the mid-19th century the first international contests were held. Cricket has had a remarkable impact on popular culture in England. It has had an influence on the vocabulary of the English language, with such phrases as, that's not cricket coined to describe unfair behavior in general.

Unit 1 Fresh Start

Text A Toward a brighter future for all

1 Good afternoon! As president of the university, I am proud to welcome you to this university. Your achievement is the triumph of years of hard work, both of your own and of your parents and teachers. Here at the university, we pledge to make your educational experience as rewarding as possible.

2 In welcoming you to the university, I am reminded of my own high school graduation and the photograph my mom took of my dad and me. "Pose naturally," Mom instructed us. "Wait!" said Dad, "Let's take a picture of me handing him an alarm clock." The clock woke me up every morning in college. It is still on my office desk.

3 Let me share with you something that you may not expect. You will miss your old routines and your parents' reminders to work hard and attain your best. You may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with high school, and your parents may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with doing your laundry! But know this: The future

is built on a strong foundation of the past.

4 For you, these next four years will be a time unlike any other. Here you are surrounded by great resources: interesting students from all over the country, a learned and caring faculty, a comprehensive library, great sports facilities, and student organizations covering every possible interest from the arts to science, to community service and so on. You will have the freedom to explore and learn about new subjects. You will learn to get by on very little sleep, meet fascinating people, and pursue new passions. I want to encourage you to make the most of this unique experience, and to use your energy and enthusiasm to reap the benefits of this opportunity.

5 You may feel overwhelmed by the wealth of courses available to you. You will not be able to experience them all, but sample them widely! College offers many things to do and to learn, and each of them offers

a different way to see the world. If I could give you only one piece of advice about selecting courses, it would be this: Challenge yourself! Don't assume that you know in advance what fields will interest you the most. Take some courses in fields you've never tried before. You will not only emerge as a more broadly educated person, but you will also stand a better chance of discovering an unsuspected passion that will help to shape your future. A wonderful example of this is the fashion designer, Vera Wang, who originally studied art history. Over time, Wang paired her studies in art history with her love of fashion and turned it into a passion for design, which made her a famous designer around the world.

6 Here at the university, it may not always be pleasant to have so

many new experiences all at once. In your dorm, the student next door may repeatedly play the one song, which gives you a giant headache! You may be an early bird while your roommate is a night owl! And still, you and your roommate may become best friends. Don't worry if you become a little uncomfortable with some of your new experiences. I promise you that the happy experiences will outweigh the unpleasant ones. And I promise that virtually all of them will provide you with valuable lessons which will enrich your life. So, with a glow in your eye and a song in your heart, step forward to meet these new experiences!

7 We have confidence that your journey toward self-discovery and your progress toward finding your own passion will yield more than personal advancement. We believe that as you become members of our community of scholars, you will soon come to recognize that with the abundant opportunities for self-enrichment provided by the university, there also come responsibilities. A wise man said: "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another." You are the inheritors of the hard work of your families and the hard work of many countless others who came before you. They built and transmitted the knowledge you will need to succeed. Now it is your turn. What knowledge will you acquire? What passions will you discover? What will you do to build a strong and prosperous future for the generations that will come after you?

8 We take great pleasure in opening the door to this great step in your journey. We take delight in the many opportunities which you will find, and in the responsibilities that you will carry as citizens of your communities, your country, and the world. Welcome！

奔向更加光明的未来

1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成

就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在

这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。

2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸

爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给

他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放

在我办公室的桌子上。

3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终

于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。

4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有

丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有

综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社

团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学

着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你

们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰

硕成果。

5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。

6 在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心，不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训，从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以，带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情，去拥抱这些新的体验吧！

7 我们相信，你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信，当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时，你们很快就会认识到，大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会，同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过：“教育代代相传，它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者，也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识，并把知识传递给你们，而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识？你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好？你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来？

8 我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会，也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们！

Text B What we wish

My dear child,

1 You are about top anticipate in the next leg of your journey through life. For us, this part is bittersweet. As you go off to college, exciting new worlds will open up to you. They will inspire and challenge you; you will grow in incredible ways.

2 This is also a moment of sadness. Your departure to college makes it undeniably clear that you are no longer a child. There has been no greater joy than watching you arrive at this moment. You have turned our greatest challenge into our greatest pride. Although we have brought you to this point, it is hard to watch you depart. Remember above all things, we will miss you.

3 College will be the most important time of your life. It is here that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often ask, "Why do I need to know this?" I encourage you to stay inquisitive, but remember this: "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." What you learn is not as important

as the fact that you learn. This is the heart of scholarship: moving from teacher-taught to master-inspired, on over to the point where you become a self-learner. So, take each subject seriously, and if something doesn't immediately engage you, don't despair. Embrace it as

a challenge. Find a way to make it your own.

4 Of course, you must still take care to sign up for courses which stimulate your passion you’re your intellectual capacity. Don't be bound by what other people think. Steve Jobs said, when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. So, don't worry too much about what job you will have; don't be too practical. If you like French or Korean, study it even if someone else tells you that it's not useful. Enjoy picking your "dots". Be assured that one day, you will find your own meaningful career, and you will connect a beautiful curve through those dots.

5 You know that we always want you to do your best, but don't let the pressure of grades get to you. We care only that you try your very best, and that you learn. It is better that your greatest effort earns a lesser grade than that no effort earns you a decent or higher grade. Grades in the end are simply letters fit to give the vain something to boast about, and the lazy something to fear. You are too good to be either. The reward is not the grade but what you learn.

6 More importantly, make friends and trust others. The friends you make in college can be the best ones you will ever have. During these years, when you move into adulthood, the friends you make in college live closer to you than your family. You will form bonds of friendship that will blossom over many decades. Pick friends who are genuine and sincere. Select a few and become truly close to them. Don't worry about their hobbies, grades, or looks. Instead, trust your instincts when you make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person; anyone would enjoy your friendship. So be confident, secure, and proactive. If you think you like someone, tell them. You have very little to lose. Don't be afraid to trust. Give others the benefit of the doubt, and don't reduce anyone to stereotypes. Nobody is perfect; as long as others are genuine, trust them and be good to them. They will give back.

7 Remember also that your youth is full of strength and beauty, something that you will not comprehend until it is gone. You must guard and cultivate your strength and beauty. A healthy body and a sound mind are the greatest instruments you will ever possess. Enjoy life. Dance if you feel like it. Don't be afraid of what other people think. But also keep yourself safe and sound. Don't let the range of new experiences take your innocence, health, or curiosity away from you. Treasure your youth and the university experience before you.

8 College is the time when you have: the first taste of independence,

the greatest amount of free time, the most flexibility to change, the lowest cost for making mistakes.

9 Approach these years enthusiastically! Make the most of your time. Become the great thinker you were born to be. Let your talents evolve to their fullest potential. Be bold! Experiment! Learn and grow! We are enormously proud that you've made it this far, and we can't wait to see what you will become.

Your father

我们的期望

我亲爱的孩子：

1 你即将踏上人生的下一段旅程。这让我们感到喜忧参半。当你离家、步入大学的校门，激动人心的崭新世界将会展现在你面前。这将带给你鼓舞，也会使你面临挑战；你将获得更大的进步与成长。

2 这也是令人伤感的时刻。离家去上大学就明确意味着你不再是个孩子了。

没有什么比看到你走到今天这一步更令我们欣喜的了。你曾经是我们最大的挑战，现在却成为我们最大的骄傲。虽然是我们把你带到了这一步，但是看着你离开仍然很不舍。记住，最主要的是，我们会想念你。

3 大学将是你人生中最重要的时光。只有在大学里你才会真正发现学习的真谛。你经常会问：“为什么我需要知道这个?” 我希望你保持好奇心，但是记住：“教育就是当一个人忘记了在学校所学的一切之后剩下的东西。” 你学什么并不如学习本身更重要。做学问的精髓就在于它可以使你从被动学习转向主动学习——直至成为一个真正具有学习能动力的自学者。所以，要认真对待每一门课程。如果某门课不能马上吸引你，不要绝望。把它当作一个挑战来接受它，设法使之成为你自己所喜欢的。

4 当然，你还必须注意，要选择那些能够激发你的热情、拓展你的智力的课程。不要被别人的想法所左右。史蒂夫?乔布斯曾说过，在大学里，你的激情将会创造出很多个点，以后在生活中你会把这些点连接在一起。所以，不必过多担忧你将来会做什么样的工作，不要太现实。如果你喜欢法语或韩语，就去学，即使别人对你说学这些没用。尽情采集你的那些“点”。要坚信有一天，你会找到你自己的有意义的事业，你会把那些点串连成美丽的曲线。

5 你知道我们总是希望你竭尽全力，但不要让分数的压力困扰你。我们只关心你已经尽了力，并且学到了知识。你尽了最大的努力而分数不高比你没有努力却得了像样的或更高的分数更有意义。分数只不过是虚荣的人用以吹嘘和慵懒的人所恐惧的数字而已。而你既不虚荣，也不慵懒。努力的回报不是分数，而是你所学到的东西。

6 更重要的是，要结交朋友并信任他人。大学里结交的朋友可能是你会结交的最好的朋友。在你步入成年的这些年里，你在大学里结交的朋友比家人离你更近。你会结下将绽放几十年的友情。选择坦率真诚的人做朋友。选择几个朋友，真正走近他们。不必计较他们的爱好、成绩或长相。相反，结交新朋友时要相信你的直觉。你是坦率真诚的人，任何人都会喜欢和你做朋友，所以要自信，别害怕，要积极主动。如果你认为自己喜欢某个人，就告诉他。你不会损失什么的。不要害怕去信任别人。即使有所怀疑，也要相信别人，不要对任何人抱有成见。人无完人。只要他们真诚，就信任他们，善待他们。他们会给予回报的。

7 还要记住，你的青春充满力和美，只有到青春逝去时你才能理解这一点。你必须要呵护和培养你的力和美。健康的身体和健全的思想是你将拥有的最大的资本。享受生活吧。想跳舞就跳舞，不用担心别人怎么想。但也要让自己平平安安的。不要让各种各样的新体验带走你的纯真、健康或好奇心。珍惜青春，珍惜你眼前的大学经历吧。

8 在大学这一段时光里，你会：初尝独立的滋味，拥有最多的自由时光，享有

最大的可塑性，承担最低的犯错代价。

9 用满腔的热情拥抱大学时光吧！充分利用好你的时间。成为一个你注定会

成为的优秀的思考者。使你的聪明才智发挥出最大的潜力。无所畏惧！勇于尝试！坚持学习，并不断成长！我们对于你已经取得的成功深感自豪，我们

也迫不及待地盼望看到你未来的成就。

你的父亲

Unit 2 Loving parents, loving children

Text A A child’s clutter awaits an adult’s return

1 I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, too expensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency and easy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could.

2 "I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"

3 I thought, is that true? Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?

4 Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.

5 She left a mess. Her bathroom is an embarrassment of damp towels, rusted shaving blades, hair in the sink, and nearly empty tubes of toothpaste. I bring a box of big black garbage bags upstairs. Eye shadow, face cream, nail polish —all go into the trash. I dump drawers, sweep shelves clear and clean the sink. When I am finished, it is as neat and impersonal as a hotel bathroom.

6 In her bedroom I find mismatched socks under her bed and purple pants on the closet floor. Desk drawers are filed with school papers, field by year and subject. I catch myself reading through poems and essays, admiring high scores on tests and reading her name, printed or typed neatly in the upper right-hand corner of each paper. I pack the desk contents into a box. Six months, I think. I will give her six months to collect her belongings, and then I will throw them all away. That is fair. Grown-ups pay for storage.

7 I have to pause at the books. Comic books, teen fiction, romantic novels, historical novels, and textbooks. A lifetime of reading; each book beloved. I want to be practical, to stuff them in paper sacks for the used bookstore. But I love books as much as she does, so I stack them onto a single bookshelf to deal with later.

8 I go for her clothes. Dresses, sweaters, and shoes she hasn't worn since seventh grade are placed into garbage bags. I am a plague of locusts emptying the closet. Two piles grow to clumsy heights: one for charity, the other trash.

9 There are more shoes, stuffed animals, large and small posters, hair bands, and pink hair curlers. The job grows larger the longer I am at it. How can one girl collect so much in only 18 years?

10 I stuff the garbage bags until the plastic strains. I haul them down the stairs, two bags at a time. Donations to charity go into the trunk of my car; trash goes to the curb. I'm earning myself sweat and sore shoulders.

11 She left the bedroom ridiculous mess, the comforter on the floor, the sheets tossed aside. I strip off the comforter, blanket, sheets, and pillows. Once she starts feeding coins into laundry machines, she'll appreciate the years of clean clothes I've provided for free.

12 I will turn her room into a crafts room. Or create the fancy guest room I've always wanted.

13 I turn the bed over. A large brown envelope is marked "DO NOT THROW AWAY." I open it. More papers. I dump the contents onto the floor. There are old family photographs, letters, greeting cards, and love notes from us to her. There are comics clipped from newspapers and magazines. Every single item in this envelope has passed from our hands to hers. These are all things that we gave her. Suddenly, I feel very emotional.

14 "DO NOT THROW AWAY."

15 My kid — my clutter bug— knows me too well. As I read through the cards and notes, I think maybe the truck wasn't such a bad idea, after all. Maybe it helps her to feel less small in a big world.

16 I reverse myself and bring back the garbage bags from the car and the curb. Clothes and shoes go back into the closet. I remake the bed and pile it with stuffed animals. My husband comes home and calls up the stairs.

17 "Just straightening up," I tell him. "Can you find some boxes for her stuff?"

18 He brings up boxes from the basement.

19 "She left a mess," he says.

20 "I don't mind," I reply. Silence.

21 Then he says softly, "She's not coming back." I feel my throat tighten at the sadness in his voice. I try hard to keep back my tears.

22 My little baby, my dependent child, isn't coming back. But someday my daughter, the independent woman, will return home. Tokens of her childhood will await her. So, will we, with open arms.

第二单元

儿时百宝箱老大归家梦

1 我看着她在车道上倒着她的新卡车。车太大，而且太贵。她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。我想，原因在我。她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。

2 “我18岁了，”她经常这样对我说，以至于听得我牙都疼了。“我是成年人了！”

3 我心想,真的吗？昨天你还在看动画片呢。今天和昨天又能有多大的变化？

4 今天她走了，远离我去寻求成年人的独立。我很高兴她离开了。这意味着她成功了，而我也终于可以从18年的责任中脱身了。但是我还是担心她能不能照顾好自己。

5 她留下的是一片狼藉。她的卫生间真是凌乱不堪，有没拧干的毛巾，有生锈的剃刀片，散落在面盆里的头发，还有几支快挤空了的牙膏。我拿了一盒大号的黑色垃圾袋上了楼。眼影、面霜、指甲油——这些统统扔进垃圾袋。我把抽屉清空，把架子打扫干净，还把面盆擦洗干净。我打扫完后，卫生间就像酒店里的那样井井有条，丝毫没有人情味儿。

6 在她的卧室里，我发现床下有不配对的袜子，壁橱底板上扔着紫色的裤子。书桌的抽屉里满是学校的卷子，按照年份和科目归了类。我发现自己竟然在翻看她的诗歌和作文，欣赏着考卷上的高分，端详着每张考卷右上角她用印刷体工工整整书写的或是打印的她的名字。我把书桌里的东西收拾到一个盒子里。六个月，我心想。如果过了六个月她还不来拿她的东西，我就会把它们一股脑儿全扔了。这算讲道理了吧。成年人存放东西是要付费的。

7 轮到整理书的时候，我有些犹豫了。连环漫画册、青少年小说、言情小说、历史小说，还有课本。阅读是一辈子的事；每本书都是心爱之物。原本我想现实一点，把这些书塞进纸袋，然后送到旧书店。但是我跟女儿一样爱书如命，于是我把她的这些书归置到一个单独的书架上，等日后再作处理。

8 接下来，我着手整理她的衣服。那些她从七年级起就不再穿的裙子、毛衣和鞋子都被装进了垃圾袋。就像蝗虫洗劫一样，我清空了壁橱。理出高高的、乱蓬蓬的两大堆东西：一堆捐给慈善机构，另一堆扔掉。

9 可是还有更多的鞋子、填充动物玩具、大大小小的招贴画、发箍和粉红色的卷发夹。我越理，要理的东西就越多。一个小姑娘怎么能在短短的18年里收集了这么多东西？

10 我把东西往垃圾袋里塞，直到塑料袋快要被撑破了。我把垃圾袋拽下楼梯，一次拽两个。要捐给慈善机构的都放在我汽车的后备箱里；要扔掉的都放在路边。我弄得浑身是汗，肩膀酸痛。

11 她把卧室弄得乱到匪夷所思的地步，盖被掉在地板上，床单掀到一边。我把床罩、毯子、床单和枕套都拆了下来。等到她开始投币洗衣的那一天，她就会感激我这些年来为她无偿提供的干净衣服了。

12 我打算把她的房间改作手工室，或者改成一间我一直想要的漂亮客房。13 我把床翻了个个儿，只见一个棕色的大信封，上面写着“不要扔掉”。我打开一看，又是纸。我把信封里的东西都倒在地板上。其中有家里的老照片、书信、贺卡、我们写给她的爱心留言，还有从报纸和杂志上剪下的漫画。信封中的每一样东西都是我们亲手给她的。我们以前给她的东西都在这里了。刹那间，我心潮起伏。

14“不要扔掉”。

15 我的孩子——我那爱收集小玩意儿的收藏迷——对我太了解了。我一边翻看着卡片和留言，一边想：也许她买那辆卡车也不算什么太糟糕的主意。也许这能让置身于大千世界中的她不至于感到太渺小。

16 我改变了主意，把垃圾袋从车里和路边又拿了回来。衣服和鞋子放回壁橱。重新铺好床，再堆上填充动物玩具。我丈夫回家了，对着楼上喊我。 17 “我把房间稍微整理一下，”我告诉他。“你能找些盒子来装她的东西吗？”

18 他从地下室拿上来几个盒子。

19“她弄得真乱啊，”他说。

20“我不介意，”我回答。沉默。

21 然后他轻轻地说道：“她不会回来了。”他伤感的语气让我喉头一紧。我努力克制，不让眼泪流下来。

22 我的小宝贝儿，那个什么都让我操心的孩子，不再回来了。但是有一天，我的女儿，那位独立的女士，会回来的。家里有她童年的纪念品在等着她。我们也在等着她，张开双臂等她回来

Text B Time slows down

1 "Daddy, let's take a walk."

2 It's an April day in Virginia. He nods, puts his hands on the arms of his wheelchair, whispers something that makes little sense. I try to help him up, but he is too heavy and limp.

3 "Come for a walk, and then — I've brought you a surprise."

4 The white curtains surge in the breeze.

5 Shivering, he complains it's chilly. "It's cold, I'm tired. Can't we go home now?"

6 Suddenly we're far away in a time long past in part of a harbor I've never seen before. December, Chicago, I'm five, and cold. One glove is lost. My feet are tired. His legs are longer; he strides quickly through melting snow, toward buildings like airplane sheds with immense doors.

7 This is the most exciting place I have ever been. Suddenly my fatigue is gone. I could walk along here forever, at least until I find out how to get aboard one of the boats.

8 We slow down our pace. Smaller sheds now. A green diner. Smells of fish and smoke. We enter a little hut. Barrels of salty water, string bags of shellfish, bundles of fish laid out on ice.

9 "Daddy, look at that snake!"

10 "No, that's an eel," says Daddy. "Smoked. We'll take a portion home for supper."

11 "I certainly won't eat that!"

12 "All right," he says, and carries the smelly package. As we walk back, he tells me about migrations of eels to the Sargasso Sea: how eels come down Dalmatian rivers and swim across the Mediterranean and then the whole Atlantic, until they reach the warm Sargasso Sea. Here they lay their eggs, and then the baby eels swim back to the native rivers of their parents.

13 Back at last in the apartment, he unwraps the eel, opens his pocket knife and slices carefully.

14 "I won't eat it," I say suspiciously.

15 "Try one bite, just for me."

16 "I won't like it."

17 While he hangs up our coats, I test one pinch. Smelly, smoky, and salty.

18 He goes into the kitchen to heat milk for me and tea for himself.

I test another pinch. Then another. He returns with the steaming cups.

19 The eel has vanished.

20 Because it is Sunday and I am five, he forgives me. Time slows down and the love flows in — father to daughter and back again.

21 At 19, I fly out to Japan. My father and I climb Mount Fuji. High above the Pacific, and hours up the slope, we picnic on dried eel, seaweed crackers, and cold rice wrapped in the eel skin. He reaches the peak first.

22 As the years stretch, we walk along waterways all over the world. With his long stride, he often overtakes me. I've never known anyone with such energy.

23 Some days, time flies with joy all around. Other days, time rots like old fish.

24 Today in the nursing home in Virginia, anticipating his reluctance,

I beg boldly and encourage him, "Please, Daddy, just a little walk. You are supposed to exercise."

25 He can't get out of his chair. Not that he often gets up on his own, but once in a while he'll suddenly have a surge of strength. I stoop to lift his feet from the foot restraints, fold back the metal pieces which often scrape his delicate, paper-thin skin. "Come, now you can stand."

26 He grips the walker and struggles forward. Gradually I lift and pull him to his feet. Standing unsteadily, he sways and then gains his balance.

27 "See, you made it! That's wonderful! All right, I'll be right behind you, my hand in the small of your back. Now — forward, march!"

28 He is impatient with the walker as I accompany him to the dining room. I help him to his chair, and hand him a spoon. It slips from his fingers. Pureed tuna is heaped on a plastic plate. I encourage him, sing him old songs, tell stories, but he won't eat. When I lift a spoonful of gray fishy stuff to his mouth, he says politely, "I don't care for any."

29 Nor would I.

30 Then I take the small smelly package covered in white wrapping paper from a plastic bag. He loves presents, and he reaches forward with

awkward fingers to try to open it. The smell fills the room.

31 "Look, Daddy, they've been out of it for months, but at last this morning at the fish seller near the Potomac, I found some smoked eel."

32 We unwrap it, and then I take out the Swiss Army Knife my beloved aunt gave me "for safekeeping", and slice the silvery flesh.

33 "What a beautiful picnic," my father beams.

34 He takes a sip of his champagne, and then with steady fingers picks up a slice of eel and downs it easily. Then another, and another, until he eats the whole piece. And again, time slows down and the love flows in — daughter to father and back again.

那一刻，时光驻足

1 “爸爸，我们去散散步吧。”

2 这是弗吉尼亚四月的一天。他点点头，把手放到轮椅的扶手上，嘟哝着谁也听不懂的话。我试着扶他起来，但是他太重了，而且也太虚弱了。

3 “去散散步，然后呢——我给你带来了一个惊喜。”

4 微风吹过，白色的窗帘飘了起来。

5 他哆嗦着，抱怨天太冷。“冷，我累了。我们现在回家不行吗？”

6 突然间，我们仿佛回到了很久很久以前，我们来到一个我从来没见过的港口。那时是十二月份，在芝加哥，我五岁，我很冷。一只手套丢了。我也走不动了。他的腿长多了，大步流星地走过正在融化的雪地，走向一群装着大门的像是飞机机库一样的建筑。

7 这是我到过的最令人兴奋的地方。忽然之间，我的疲惫消失得无影无踪。我可以一直在这里走下去，起码可以一直走到我设法登上其中的一条船为止。8 我们放慢了脚步。现在我们看到的是一些小一点的货棚，还有一间绿色的小餐馆。四周弥漫着鱼和烟的味道。我们走进一个小棚里。里面是一桶桶的海水，一网兜一网兜的贝类海鲜，还有一捆捆放在冰块上的鱼。

9 “爸爸，快看那条蛇！”

10“不，那是鳗鱼，”爸爸说。“烟熏的。我们买一段回家当晚饭吃。” 11 “我才不吃那个东西呢！”

12 “好吧，”他说道，然后拿起那包腥味很重的鱼。我们往回走的时候，他给我讲鳗鱼向马尾藻海洄游的故事：鳗鱼怎样从达尔玛提亚地区的河流游过地中海，再游过整个大西洋，直到抵达温暖的马尾藻海。它们在那里产卵，然后幼鱼再游回到它们的父母原先待过的河流。

13 我们终于回到了公寓。他拆开鳗鱼包，打开折叠小刀，小心地切片。 14“我不吃，”我狐疑地说道。

15 “尝一口，就算为了我。”

16“我不会喜欢它的。”

17 当他在挂我们的外套时，我尝了一丁点儿。很腥，带着烟熏味，还咸咸的。

18 他去厨房帮我热牛奶，并给他自己热茶。我又尝了一丁点儿。然后，又尝了一点儿。他从厨房回来，端着热气腾腾的杯子。

19 鳗鱼已经消失得无影无踪了。

20 因为是星期天，我又只有五岁，他原谅了我。时光在此刻驻足，爱意在此刻流淌——从父亲流向女儿，又从女儿流向父亲。

21 十九岁的时候，我飞去日本。父亲和我一起登富士山。我们爬了几小时后，

在俯瞰太平洋的山坡上野餐，吃着鳗鱼干、海苔饼干和鳗鱼皮包的冷饭团。他第一个登上山顶。

22 随着岁月的流逝，我们游遍了世界各地的江川湖海。他步子大，所以经常走得比我快。我不知道除了他，还有谁能有如此旺盛的精力。

23 有些日子，时间在快乐中飞逝，也有些日子会像不新鲜的鱼一样，令人难受。

24 今天，在弗吉尼亚的养老院里，虽然明知他不太愿意，我还是大胆地请求他、鼓励他：“来吧，爸爸，就走一小会儿。你应该锻炼锻炼。”

25 他无法从轮椅上站起来。不是说他能常常靠自己站起身来，但是偶尔，他会突然来那么一股子劲儿。我弯下身，把他的脚从脚蹬里拿出来，收起经常把他脆弱的、薄纸般的皮肤擦伤的金属脚踏。“来，你现在可以站起来了。” 26 他抓住助步车，努力往前起身。慢慢地，我连拖带拽地帮他站了起来。他站在那儿，有点儿不稳，摇摇晃晃，然后才站稳了。

27 “看，你做到了！太好了！好吧，我就跟在你后面，我会用手扶着你的腰。好，往前，往前走！”

28 我陪着他往餐厅走，一路上他对助步车很不耐烦。我扶他在椅子上坐下，递给他一把勺子。勺子从他的指间滑落。塑料餐盘上是一堆金枪鱼肉糜。我鼓励他吃，唱老歌给他听，给他讲故事，但是他不肯吃。当我举起一勺灰灰的鱼肉糜送到他嘴边时，他客气地说：“我一点儿也不想吃。”

29 换了我，我也不想吃。

30 于是，我从一个塑料袋里取出一小包用白纸包着的带着腥味的东西。他喜欢礼物。他伸手用不怎么灵活手指试着打开纸包。房间里满是鱼腥味。

31 “看，爸爸，他们已经断货好几个月了。今天早上，我终于在波托马克河附近的鱼贩子那里找到了一些熏鳗鱼。”

32 我们把纸包打开，然后我拿出我亲爱的姨妈送给我的那把“防身用”的瑞士军刀，切开银色的鱼肉。

33 “多么美妙的野餐啊，”父亲笑容满面地说。

34 他呷了一口香槟，然后用一点儿也不哆嗦的手指捏起一片鳗鱼肉，轻松地咽了下去。接着，他吃了一片又一片，直到把整块鱼吃完。再一次，时光在此刻驻足，爱意在此刻流淌——从女儿流向父亲，又从父亲流向女儿。

Text B Too much of a good thing-a real addiction

1 The college campus, long a place of scholarship and frontiers of new technology, is being transformed into a new age of electronics by a fleet of laptops, smartphones and connectivity 24 hours a day.

2 On a typical modern-day campus, where every building and most outdoor common areas offer wireless Internet access, one student takes her laptop everywhere. In class, she takes notes with it, sometimes instant-messaging or emailing friends if the professor is less than interesting. In her dorm, she instant-messages her roommate sitting just a few feet away. She is tied to her smartphone, which she even uses to text a friend who lives one floor above her, and which supplies music for walks between classes.

3 Welcome to college life in the 21st century, where students on campus are electronically linked to each other, to professors and to their classwork 24/7 in an ever-flowing river of information and

communication. With many schools offering wireless Internet access anywhere on campus, colleges as a group have become the most Internet accessible spots in the world.

4 Students say they really value their fingertip-access to the boundless amount of information online, and the ability to email professors at 2 a.m. and receive responses the next morning. "I always feel like I have a means of communication — in class and out of class," says one engineering major.

5 Many are using smartphones, not only to create their own dialects when texting, but also to do more serious work, such as practicing foreign languages and analyzing scripts from their theater classes. In a university class on the history of American radio, students use smartphones to record their own radio shows. The course instructor said, "It's adding to students' sense of excitement about the subject." Professors have been encouraged to tape their lectures and post them online. "We realized there might be some potential for a device that could get attention and encourage sophisticated thinking," says one leading university director.

6 For most undergraduates, non-stop Internet connectivity is the fuel of college life. More than just toys, these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of virtually every kind of information. And as more people around the world adopt these instruments, they are becoming indispensable. So, students should use the wonders of the Internet to do homework, review lecture outlines, take part in class discussions and network online with their friends. But in doing so, students must remember to regulate and balance their time. Too much time online can mean too little time in real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. Students should not let the Internet world on their computer screens take them away from the real world outside.

7 Colleges began embracing Internet access in the mid-1990s, when many began wiring dorms with high-speed connections. In the past few years, schools have taken the lead by turning their campuses into bubbles of Wi-Fi networks. In fact, a recent study in the US found that information technology accounted for 5% to 8% of college budgets, up from an estimated 2% to 3% in the mid-1980s.

8 On one campus, students use Wi-Fi to fire off instant messages, review their homework assignments, and check their bank balances. Just nine miles down the highway, another university had been feeling a bit of a technology inferiority complex. To compensate, it spent tens of thousands of dollars to give every one of its incoming freshmen a free Apple iPad.

9 Some universities even require that all students own or lease a laptop. Some say the focus on technology prepares students for a wired

world. "You have to keep up with the rest of the world. Students expect high-bandwidth information, and if you can't deliver it, you're at competitive disadvantage," states a university president.

10 Other colleges are straining to stand out from their peers. The race to attract students with the most modern networks and the hottest systems has reached fever pitch. Some business majors are receiving free portable computers. In an always-connected mode, they can get information anytime and anywhere they need. One university is even giving its freshmen new smartphones to enrich the student experience and prepare them for success in a rapidly changing world.

11 For those who prefer to travel laptop-free, colleges supply several computer labs. And for students who study late into the night, many have set up 24-hour repair shops where students can get their laptops fixed by the next day and receive loaner in the meantime.

12 Colleges around the world have been replacing their computer systems for the past decade, in large part to provide students with the most advanced free system. The anywhere-anytime access has already yielded amazing benefits in education. With the widespread application of computer technologies, we are going to produce a generation of problem-solvers and intelligent thinkers, which is indispensable for the future of the world.

第三单元

互联网时代的大学生活

1 大学校园长久以来都是学术之地，也是新技术的前沿。现在随着手提电脑和智能手机的大量出现，加上每天24小时不间断的网络连接，大学校园正在转而进入电子设备的新时代。

2 在典型的现代校园里，每幢建筑和大部分室外公共区域都提供无线互联网接入, 学生可以把手提电脑带到任何地方。课堂上，她用手提电脑记笔记，有时如果教授的课一点都没意思，她就会给朋友发送即时信息或电子邮件。在寝室，她甚至会给近在咫尺的室友发送即时信息。她离不开智能手机，甚至对住在楼上的朋友也要发短信；在从上一堂课去下一堂课的路上她也要用智能手机听音乐。

3 欢迎来体验21世纪的大学生活：通过源源不断的信息流，学生之间、师生之间以及学生和课堂作业之间建立了电子化的联系，一天24小时，一周7天，从不间断。在许多学校，无线互联网连接覆盖了校园的各个角落，大学整体上也因此成为世界上互联网最普及的地方。

4 学生们说他们非常看重动动手指就可获得无限的网上信息，还可以在凌晨两点给教授发电子邮件，并能在第二天早上收到教授的回复。一位工程专业的学生说：“我觉得无论在课内还是在课外，我都拥有一种交流手段。”

5 很多学生不仅使用智能手机自创语体发短信，而且也用智能手机来做更正经的工作，比如练习外语、分析戏剧课的脚本等。在一所大学的有关美国广播电台历史的课上，学生们用智能手机录下他们自己的广播节目。教授这门课的教师说：“这提高了学生学习这门课的兴奋感。”学校也鼓励教授录下授课内容并发布到网上。一位一流大学的主管说：“我们意识到，像这样一种能够引起学生关注、并促使他们深入思考的工具也许大有潜力。”

6 对于大多数本科生来说，永不间断的互联网是大学生活的动力。网络工具不只是玩具，而且是储存和管理几乎各种信息的强大工具。随着世界上越来越多的人使用这些工具，它们已经变得不可或缺。所以，学生应该运用互联网所创造的奇迹来完成作业、复习讲座提纲、参与课堂讨论、与朋友们进行网上社交。但是在做这些的同时，学生们必须记住，要控制和平衡好时间。上网时间过长就意味着在现实生活中学习、锻炼或和朋友叙谈的时间过少。学生们不应该让电脑屏幕上的互联网世界使他们脱离外面的现实世界。

7 大学在20世纪90年代中期迎来互联网，那时许多大学开始给学生寝室接入高速网络。在过去的几年中，学校率先把校园变成了被无线网络覆盖的世界。事实上，美国最近的一项研究发现，信息技术的投入占高校预算的5%-8%，比20世纪80年代中期约2%-3%的投入有所增加。

8 有一所大学里，学生用无线网络发送即时信息、复习家庭作业以及查看银行账户余额。而就在沿公路往前九英里处，另一所大学一直有种技术不如别人的自卑感。为了弥补这一点，该大学花了数万美元给每一名入学新生免费赠送了一台苹果iPad。

9 有些大学甚至要求所有学生拥有或租用一台手提电脑。有人说注重技术可以使学生作好准备面对被网络连接的世界。一位大学校长指出：“你必须与世界保持同步，学生们期望通过高带宽获取信息。如果你不能提供，你就会在竞争中处于劣势。”

10 其他大学正努力从同行当中脱颖而出。大学之间用最现代的网络和最热门的系统来吸引学生的竞争已经达到狂热的地步。一些商科专业的学生可以领到免费的便携式电脑。在永久在线模式下，他们可以根据需要随时随地获取信息。一所大学甚至为新生配备了智能手机，以丰富其大学经历，为他们在一个日新月异的世界上取得成功作好准备。

11 大学还为那些不喜欢随身携带手提电脑的学生提供了若干个机房。而且，许多大学为那些熬夜学习的学生开设了24小时电脑维修店，电脑第二天就可以修好，而且在电脑送修期间，学生可以使用维修点提供的代用电脑。

12 在过去10年里，世界各地的大学都在更换其计算机系统，主要是为了给学生提供最先进的免费系统。随时随地的网络连接使教育深受裨益。随着计算机技术的广泛应用，我们将培养出善于解决问题和善于思考的一代人，这对于世界的未来是至关重要的。

Text B Too much of a good thing-a real addiction

1 Perhaps the greatest change the world has seen in modern times has been the rise of the Internet. It's hard to deny the positive changes it adds to people's lives as it makes life easier with quick access to things like maps, news, and online stores. As a research tool, it is unmatched. It's a great way to keep up with friends. It enables a wealth of media outlets and alternative news sources. Internet access and the ability to make good use of it is practically a must for success in the modern world.

2 Like any technology, though, it has negative aspects that become clear as we start to depend upon it. Like pollution and traffic jams that come with the convenience of cars, Internet access has proven so popular that it has given rise to a new kind of social epidemic,

考研英语与大学英语四六级的区别

考研英语与大学英语四六级的区别 准备考研的同学大部分都考过英语四、六级，那么是英语六级难还是考研英语难，有些同学英语六级考了560分，但考研只得了50分，有些同学本科是英语专业过了专业八级，但考研也只得56分，究其原因，是因为英语四、六级与考研英语是完全不同的两个体系的考试。 四、六级是资格考试，只要能达到了一定的水平就能得高分。而考研英语是筛选性的考试，每年国家招的人数是有限制的，因此国家会利用英语这门考试筛选一部分人。考研英语与六级考试有四点不同。 一、考试的题型不同 考研的题型有完型、传统阅读、新题型、翻译、作文。其中完型由280个单词构成，给出20个空，每空2.5分，共10分，这道题全国的均分是2.5-3.5分，此题考查同学们的词组搭配，语法和语感能力。传统阅读由4篇文章构成，每篇文章400个单词，5个问题，每题2分，一共20个问题，共计40分。新题型是国家取消研究生入学考试听力以后新加的题型，此题来源于博士研究生入学考试的题型。翻译是平衡整张试卷难度的。如果前面出的题难就会出2个长难句，3个简单句；如果前面的题简单，此题就会出3个长难句2个简单句。建议大家把真题中的阅读认真翻译一遍，真题阅读是翻译的好的范本。作文由一篇小作文和一篇大作文构成，其中小作文10分，要求写一篇100个单词的应用文，大作文20分，要求写一篇160-200个单词的议论文，万学海文有一个超级作文模版，此模版用哲学的观点把世间万物分为4类，此模版把一篇作文变成了一个填空题，只要大家把议论的事物填进去，便可得一个很好的分数。 二、单词考核的侧重点不同 四、六级考试一般考单词的前一两个常用的意思，而考研英语考单词的最后两个意思。2005年研究生入学考试英语作文题讲得是赡养老人的问题，赡养这个单词很多同学都不会写，其实很简单就用support，可能大家只知道support有支持，提供的意思，但忘记了它还有赡养的意思。 三、语法考核的侧重点不同 四、六级考试重点考核词法，如名词、动词、形容词、介词等等，而考研英语侧重考核语法，如宾语从句、状语从句、倒装句等等。 四、文章选材与命题思路不同 四、六级考试的文章一般选自描写风土人情、人物传记的文章或小小说等，考研英语文章选自科技论文，外文期刊综述，外国产品说明书等。四、六级考试的文章大家读懂了就可以做对，但是考研英语的文章大家读懂了，也不一定做对。比如四、六会问是哪个教练带领中国足球冲向世界，但考研英语会问为什么黑哨在足球联比赛中屡禁不止。 大家了解了考研英语与四、六级的区别后，就可以采用科学合理的方法复习英语。很多同学在背单词的时候有三大误区。 一、记一个单词的时间太长，有的同学记一个单词会用5分钟，这就浪费了4分钟10秒，人的记忆力在50秒时达到顶峰，再往后就急剧下降，所以大家在记单词时要加大单位时间内的频率。这就如同我们见到了一个美女，若我们和她谈一个小时，一个月后我们不一定还记得她，但是若我们每天和她谈5分钟，连续12天，相信2个月后，这个美女长什么样子，穿什么衣服，我们还记得一清二楚。 二、喜欢记熟悉的单词，很多同学背单词会从字母a开始，背了几天后发现自己还在背以字母a开头的单词，于是又从z开始背，结果背了几天还在以字母z开头的单词里。最后认识的还是认识，不会的照样不会。建议大家记单词时把生词做个标记，下次看时重点看生词。 三、边背边写，这个习惯也不好。因为考研英语词汇分为5级，其中大家只要记住一级

大学英语精读课改革模式 关键词：教学模式；二语习得；阅读技巧；交际能力 长期以来，外语一直把精读课作为基础教学阶段的一门主课。笔者认为，有必要尝试一下改变精读课的传统做法。下面透过目前精读课存在的主要问题，提出几点改进建议。 一、主要问题 目前，基础教学阶段的精读课，名为精读，实为融听、说、读、写、译为一体的语言综合入门课。这在语言素材信手拈来的今天，对于入学时已掌握1600个单词、已具有基本语法知识，而听、说、读、写、译却又发展极不平衡的学生来说，这种传统精读课的教学模式已不再完全适用。其弊端在于：(1)语言素材不足。精读课基本是围绕有限的几篇文章进行解释和训练，不利于语言的自然习得，无法增强学生的语感。(2)忽视对阅读技能的训练。精读课注重对课文中语言现象的分析、讲解和操练，而对一系列阅读技能却没有必要的指导和训练。(3)无法兼顾学生入学时听、说、读、写、译的能力发展不平衡的状况。学生入学时的阅读能力远比其他能力强，但为了照顾其他能力的培养，只能选用语言较简单、内容较肤浅的素材。教材不能满足学生提高阅读水平的需求，限制了学生阅读能力的发展，抑制了学生的求知欲，影响了他们的知识面扩展。(4)忽略书面语和口语的差异。精读课十分重视围绕课文所进行的口语表达的准确性。为表达准确，学生往往要使用课文的语言，其结果是将书面语与口头语混为一体，忽视了语言的得体性。(5)忽略学生能力的发展。在精读课上，教师精讲，学生操炼。教学常常以掌握课文为目的，不重视对学生学习方法的指导，不重视学生独立思考、综合、分析能力的培养和发展。 二、建议 1．课程设置 目前新生入学时已掌握1600个单词并掌握了一定的语法知识，鉴于学生 的听、说、读、写、译能力发展不平衡，建议开设阅读、听力、口语、语法、写作等课程。这些课程分别将各门课程的技能训练作为教学的主要内容，并兼顾其他课程的技能训练，以促进和保证学生听、说、读、写、译五项技能的全面发展。 2．关于阅读课 阅读课旨在提高学生对书面语言的处理和表达能力。为此，一方面要不断扩大学生的词汇量和巩固语法知识；另一方面则要指导学生运用自己已有的阅读母语的技能，进行阅读技能的训练。因此，阅读课应注意以下原则：(1)提供数量为精读教材三倍的语言素材，以创造语言习得的条件。(2)教材的题材和体裁力

大学英语B阅读理解练习题及答案

Passage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the countr y. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside. 2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden. C. having a garden of his own. D. having been digging, planting and watering 4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外，然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。

大学生活与高中生活最大的区别英语版

高中生活和大学生活的区别 提纲 高中生活：大学生活： 1忙碌的学习生活1闲暇自主的学习生活 2 紧张有序的日常生活 2 多多姿多彩的日常生活 3对大学的期待 3 工作的焦虑、 4 充实的的理想 4 无聊疲惫的身心 正文： 在高中生活中，我们在学习中整天忙忙碌碌，许多课程和大量作业等待我们完成，我们甚至没有理由不去完它们。学习在紧张有序的进行着，每一天都有学习任务需要完成。对于大学的期待我们总是去努力记忆，即使在梦中我们也要象呼唤上帝一样呼唤它的名字。总之，对于大学生活我们充满了期待和希望。这是因为，吃饭和理想似乎就要通过它来实现。不过，值得高兴的是，我们个理想总是令人觉得充实和满意的。对于未来的理想，我们通过大学使它变得充实，这是值得骄傲的一件事情了。 进入到大学生活，我们首先在学习生活中发现了我们失去的闲暇时光。于是我们的学习生活变得可以自主，重要的是，我们拥有很多可以自由支配的闲暇的时间。在课余时间里，我们可以参加各种各样多多姿多彩的活动来消闲时间，增加见闻。不过总有让人焦虑的事。例如，工作的不确定性。为此，我们非常焦虑。我们没有理由不为自己的将来的吃饭问题而感到焦虑。这样一来，我们的理想又变得难以触摸。于是我们的理想让我们觉得无聊和疲惫。 高中生活是忙碌紧张充实并充满期待，大学生活闲暇多彩却焦虑疲惫 In high school life, we are busy all day in study, many courses and a lot of work awaiting us, we even have no reason not to complete them. Learning in an order and carrying on, each day to learn the task to be done. We are always looking for the universities to work on memory, even if in a dream we have to call it the same as calling the name of God. In short, for we are looking forward to university life and hope. This is because eating and seemed to be ideal to achieve through it. However, I am pleased that we feel that an ideal is always full and satisfied. Vision for the future, we make it through college enrichment, it is a matter of pride.

大学英语精读1 第三版 课文英汉对照

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”，而“获悉某

大学英语精读课的教学心得

大学英语精读课的教学心得 本学期本人任教一年级大学英语课程，工作中自觉遵守教学规律，贯彻党的教育方针，以身作则，教书育人。关注本学科及相关的学术发展动态，刻苦钻研，努力提高自身业务水平，坚持学习，与同事进行交流合作，积极参加科组教研活动，例如到深圳职业技术学院参观学习，学院第二英语角活动，主动提出意见建议，促进教学教改。关心学院发展与建设，服从工作安排，遵守各规章纪律，保持全勤，参与学院的集体活动。以下是本人的几点教学心得： 我们的学生在中学阶段已经掌握了较系统的语法知识，故目前在教学中重点是提高学生的阅读理解能力，进而培养学生的书面表达能力。据学生反映，他们的难题主要是单词和课文内容。相应的教学方法是： 一、单独讲解单词。如果只是简单地解释词性、意思、词组，然后做翻译练习，不免显得枯燥，而且学生很难整节课都集中注意力，因而达不到良好教学效果。本人采用的方法是尽量地把本课单词有机地串联起来，帮助学生形成一种记忆链条，并且给他们定一个目标：Try to put everything in mind instead of on the notebook！例如，在这个单元中，主要探讨科学的发展及其对我们生活的影响。上课的时候，首先从手机（mobile phone）展开话题，由其体积大小、价格的变化，引出技术发展两个新词：technology，develop，（development），继而是技术发展的动力之一“竞争”（competition），而当今的竞争是激烈的（severe）、“全球性的”（global），创造力（inventiveness）、自创精神（initiative）尤为重要，接下来讨论科技发展（technology development）对我们日常生活的影响或关联（relevance）。到此，让学生尝试用几句话把这些词串连起来：Technology develops at a rapid rate nowadays. Anyway, the rapid development has been brought about by the force of competition, which is severe and global, and needs initiative. Does the development have any relevance to our daily life? Sure. Ten years ago, it was impossible for a student to have a mobile phone. 在讲解完一组相关的词后，让学生做课本的选词填空练习，巩固对单词词义的理解和掌握正确用法。其次，以游戏的方式练习词汇。由一或两名学生背对黑板，教师写上词或词组，全班同学给提示直到他们猜出词语。这样既活跃课堂又使学生有机会练习口头表达能力，也可锻炼当众表演的胆量。例如，dream一词，提示有：something in your mind when you sleep, sometimes it is true, sometimes it is imagination, people may appear, animal may also come into sight, you might be happy, might be frightened, even in horror……大量旧词汇得到复习。 二、课文讲解。由于课是两节或三节连堂，如果按照传统的语言点、加语法、再加句子分析翻译，学生很难完全接受。较可行的方法是分成三部分。第一，先完成整篇的理解性问题，课本的“content question”，让学生了解课文大概。第二，语言点、语法结构讲解，分段落完成。学生们逐段阅读，留一定时间给他们提问，然后就学生忽视的内容个别提问、再总结，形成教与学的互动，促使学生思考。第三，完成第一、第二阶段的教学后，再分析整篇文章的结构，每部分的main ideas，总结全文观点。让学生练习表达能力。同时回顾一些重要的细节或段落、句子，构成完整的篇章学习。部份故事性趣味性强的文章，采用分组表演，促进学生团对合作。很受欢迎。 三、课后练习：时间充裕的话，可让学生在课堂完成，再评讲，或者布置为家庭作业，课堂评讲。这也可作为语法、语言点的练习与复习。尽量运用本单元新学的知识，再与先前所掌握的作比较。 四、随堂测验。每讲完一小单元，如单词、语法或语言点之后，用十分钟左右进行随堂测验，可用口头或书面形式。可深化学生的记忆，达到良好的教学效果。 五、作业批改。学生首先关注的是分数，往往忽视错误部分，故批改时只圈出错的地方，学生自己改正后再上交，然后针对个别辅导。真正巩固知识。 以上是本人的教学心得。在今后的工作中，本人将继续努力，不断提高教学水平，高质量完成教学任务。
