新视野答案
unit 6
Task 1:
While every university in America has its own policies and creates its own rules, most provide some type of medical service or health insurance for students, especially large universities. If students have a cold, or other illnesses, they can see a doctor, and they may also seek medical advice on a range of issues. Free testing for STDs such as HIV is a major part of disease prevention—sharing important information about the epidemic. If students need a major operation or procedure, they must seek outside assistance, but the school may help them make the arrangements. Smaller universities and colleges are not likely to provide in-depth medical assistance; they usually deal with small problems in housing, and assist students to take care of major issues off campus. No medical services are offered in universities and colleges that do not have students living on campus.
1. medical service health insurance
2. medical advice
3. operation outside make the arrangements
4. medical assistance housing off campus
5. living on campus
Task 2:
Steven had a temperature of 100. His head was stuffed; his bones ached and his throat was sore. He knew he had the flu. All his roommates had been sick with it. He had used up all the special creams and herbs that his mother had carefully packed and put in his suitcase, saying, ―Just
in case you get sick.‖ After three days of lying in bed, feeling miserable, Steven decided to go to the doctor. He described all his symptoms and was sure the doctor would give him a shot that would make him feel much better. Instead, the doctor told him to get plenty of rest and to drink lots of liquids. She gave him a prescription to fill and said in two or three days he would be feeling better. Ashe left, the receptionist told him his visit would cost $50. Steven paid the money in cash and left the doctor‘s office feeling very angry

Once an old gentleman went to see a doctor. The doctor examined him and said, ―Medicine won‘t help you.‖ You must have a complete rest. Go to a quiet country place for a month, go to bed early, drink milk, walk a lot, and smoke just one cigar a day.‖
“Thank you very much,‖ said the old gentleman, ―I shall do everything you say.‖
A month later, the gentleman came to the doctor again, ―How do you do!‖ said the doctor, ―I am very glad to see you. You look much younger.‖
“Oh, doctor,‖ said the gentleman, ―I feel quite well now. I had a good rest. I went to bed early. I drank a lot of milk. I walked a lot. Your advice certainly helped me. But you told me to smoke one cigar a day, and that one cigar almost killed me at first. It‘s no joke to start smoking at j\my age.‖1.D 2.B 3.A 4.B 5.D
unit 7
Task 1:
Many people tolerate bad service or inferior products rather than make a complaint. They feel that complaining won‘t do any good. In fact, they‘re wrong: complaining works because companies don‘t want dissatisfied customers. If you have a complaint, do something about it right away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get your complaint settled. First, you can complain to one of the clerks. If they cannot help you, then ask politely to speak to a manager. Also, many stores have Customer Service representatives whose job is to solve problems in customer relations. These people are eager to assist because companies realize that dissatisfied customers can damage their reputations. You should always insist on your own rights as a customer. You have the right to receive a product you ordered in timely manner and in good condition. With airlines, you have the right to be on the flight you‘ve booked. You can also expect a discount if you receive less than you have agreed upon—a hotel room with a view of a brick wall instead of an ocean view, for example.
1. tolerate complaint
2. do any good dissatisfied customers
3. longer harder settled
4. Customer Service solve problems
5. the right in a timely manner
Task 2:
Because credit cards have so many advantages, their use has become widespread. Unfortunately, however, credit cards are major sources of problems to society as a whole. First, there is the issue of fraud. Stolen credit cards add to the cost of all merchandise as companies write off these losses by adding to the cost of all goods. Second, there are the personal misfortunes. Credit card companies charge exceptionally high rates of interest (about 20%), but because the cards are so easy to use, many people but beyond their ability to repay. Also, there are often too generous
limits to the amount of credit one can have; as a result, many people run up such high debts that they go bankrupt. Currently, it is easy for people to own many credit cards. When one credit card is ―maxed out‖ they simply switch to another. Although individual credit cards have limits, the number of credit cards is not limited. People with ten credit cards, each with a $5,000 limit, have $50,000 of credit, even though they might not be able to pay all of their bills. This can easily lead to bankruptcy. Perhaps people should be given an absolute credit limit set as a certain percentages of their imcome.

Task 1:
The University Residence Hall houses 339 students. It is conveniently located on campus, and provides comfortable, fully air-conditioned room for male and female students. As an integral part of the educational program, it is more than a place where students can eat and sleep; it is a living unit in the true sense of the term. Here students from all parts of the country and all corners of the world are assigned to room without regard to race, religion, color or national origin. They enjoy many opportunities to make new friends with all kinds of people and can also enjoy many voluntary educational, social, culture and recreational activities provided by the Residence Hall staff, in cooperation with the Residence Hall Council. The experience here will contribute as much to students‘ development as will their coursework and study, and ultimately to the sound education needed for effective citizenship in the community.
1. on campus air-conditioned room 339
2. the educational program a living unit eat and sleep
3. all parts of the country assigned to room national origin
4. make new friends educational activities
5. students‘ development the sound education citizenship
Task 2:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I‘ve called this meeti ng to discuss our new campus which is opening fully next year. We plan to move our students to the new facilities in groups, so please listen carefully. They Agricultural Science students won‘t move at all. As you know, their new facilities were opened last year, and they are well placed for both laboratory and classroom space. The Arts students, however, are a different case. History students are all moving, but unfortunately Their teachers will be left in the old building, as the new office accommoda tion isn‘t yet ready. Better news for engineers. Your faculty, staff and students, are already in the process of moving to
the new campus. The lab is already in operation. The move for the engineers should be completed next week. The old engineering building will be taken over by the Philosophy Department. The Faculty of Law has been moved downtown. This leaves vacant the premises previously occupied by the lawyers. The planning committee is accepting suggestions for the way school buildings could be used. So, if you have further doubts or questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Task 3:
Such a feeling‘s coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won‘t be surprised if it‘s a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It‘s because you are here
You‘re the nearest thing to heaven that I‘ve seen
I‘m on the top of the world looking
Down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I‘ve found ever since
You‘ve been around
Your love‘s put me at the top of world…
unit 9
Task 1:
The story of the Internet begins in the late 1950s. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957. The Pentagon set up a research team in 1958 to create a computer network to operate during disasters like a nuclear war. The resulting network linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It grew into the World Wide Web or the Internet that became the network system of the Information Age. In 1985, the National Science Foundation created a network which provided a free national service to
any U.S. research and education institution. Later, large corporations began to build their own networks. All those netw orks finally joined the Pentagon‘s network to form the Internet. By the 1990s, anyone with a computer, a modern, and Internet software could link up to the Internet. In the future, the Internet will probably grow more complex and become part of a larger network called the information highway. With that people could bank, shop, watch TV, and perform many other
activities online.
Task2:
The Internet is a global network, but in many ways it‘s like a small town with similar services to offer. There are electronic post offices to send and receive e-mail, functioning somewhat more efficiently than the Post Office we know. There are libraries of information that stay open 24 hours a day with millions of books and documents to browse or search through on the World Wide Web or WWW. You can also enjoy real-time text-based communication, using written or printed
material to communicate with others immediately and almost ―face to face‖. Local coffee shops are seen in the guise of chat room, with people dropping by at all hours of the day and night to socialize. Online education and training is available just as it is in a ―bricks and mortar‖ university or school. Online banking offers you all the services available at your local bank, without fearing to be mugged at an A TM. You can buy almost anything, listen to your local radio station or do your grocery shopping. Indeed, the Internet is your town in a box!
Task3:
To get your daily exercise, just click on ―run‖!
If you need a break from life, click on ―suspend‖.
Hit ―any key‖ to continue life when ready.
To ―add/remove‖ someone in your life, click settings.
To improve your appearance, just adjust the display settings.
When you lose your car keys, click on ―find‖.
You could click on ―send‖ and the kids would go to bed immediately.
To feel like a person, click on ―refresh‖.
Click on ―close‖ to shut up the noises.
To undo a mistake, click on ―back‖.
Is your furniture getting old? Click ―update‖.
If you messed up your life, you could press ―Alt, Ctrl, Delete‖ and start all o ver!

【艺术类院校大学英语第二册】课文翻译及课后答案
南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译（1~10） 第一单元 你去过古玩店吗？如果你能像买家那样博学，你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。 幸运的发现 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘，把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里，那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店，无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉，阴暗，杂乱无章，迷宫般的店堂里，从杂乱地摆放在地面上的，一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心，而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点，他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望，即终有一天，他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午，弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿，结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了，弗兰克正准备离去，突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久，但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求，古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外，货箱内装满了陶器，而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子，突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画，画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画，于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画，告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情，因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作，价值几十万英镑。 第二单元 无论是男人、女人还是儿童，都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。 时装流行的原理 时尚一直在变化和发展。时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。这些时尚原理保持不变。尽管时尚在变，但是这些原理却不变。他们是识别和预测时尚流行趋势的坚实基础。时尚流行的基本原理包括以下几条： 1．时尚的流行一般采取渐进的方式，很少采取突变的方式。时尚通常从一种风格逐渐地向另一种风格进化，是进化式的，而不是快速地变化。这一点经常可以从女裙长度的变化中得到体现。在一个季节中人们不希望裙子的长度有较大的变化。一般裙长要在几个季节甚至几年时间里缓慢地增加或减少。在20世纪50年代后期以及以后的10年里，裙子的长度开始以每年约1英寸的速度缩短，直至变成20世纪60年代后期的超短式样。在整个70年代，裙子的长度又逐渐增加。 2．消费者创造时尚。是消费者通过接受一种款式而抛弃另一种款式来决定流行的时尚，而不是设计师或制造商。尽管设计师、制造商、销售商可以促进或减缓新时尚的流行，但最终对时尚的接受与否还要取决于消费者。 3．价格不会影响时尚的流行。时尚的流行与否并不取决于价格。尽管一个新款式推出的价格会很高，但很快会有各种价格变化。一件向设计师定做的服装售价可能会高达几千美元，但是一旦此款式被仿制并以成衣批量生产，就会出现不同的价格以适合不同层次消费者的要

You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years.

From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers. 3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex-tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con-trol. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development.

大学英语课本翻译：大学体验英语第一册 1.A篇学无止境 故事发生在一所东部大学里。那是终考的最后一天。一幢教学楼的台阶上围着一群大四的工科生，都在谈论即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都带着自信。这是毕业前的最后一场考试了，考完后，即是毕业典礼。然后他们将各奔前程。 话题转到了工作上，有的谈起了找好的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。 学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。试卷发下来了。看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。 3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌。老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。 她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道："5道题全答完的有多少？" 没人举手。 "做完4道的有多少？" 还是没人举手。 "3道呢？两道呢？" 学生们再也坐不住了。 "那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。" 教室里依然鸦雀无声。老师搁下试卷，说道："这我早料到了。" "我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领域你们还有很多东西要学。其实，你们答不出的这些问题在日常生活中很常见。"她笑了笑，接着说，"这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。" 多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。 1.B篇回眸大学 4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。不到两周，我就要毕业了。此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。 大学生活使我学到了许许多多，而且大都是在课外学到的。大二的生活也许是我生命中最值得留念的一段。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈相信我住校没有问题，她终于让我去了。正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友，历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。大二生活还有着种种新的尝试，到山地去野营，把信手涂鸦的诗投到报社，还在课堂上给老师画漫画。 走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。 不到两周就要离校了，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。因为我从记事起就一直是名学生。我觉得自己是在回避毕业。每当别人问起我大学毕业后打算做什么，我就想大声尖叫，我不知道以后想做些什么。甚至不敢想像早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。 不久前，一次面试时，有人问我，"这是不是你想干一辈子的工作？"我觉得这个问题很可笑，还差点儿笑出声来，不过我还是说了实话。以后的事情，我说不好--谁知道将来会是什么样子？过去的4年中，我已多次改变了想法，一辈子就干一行的想法简直就是一种折磨。 午夜漫步于校园，我意识到自己将会多么怀念大学生活。每一个小小的事物都显得分外美丽，每一个小小的事物都让我意识到大学生活是多么精彩，多么独特。当依依不舍地关上我的大学生活之门时，我将永远珍藏这些日子。 2.A篇因特网与教育 教育在每个人的生活中都扮演着一个非常重要的角色。我们上学是因为想了解周围的世界，同时也拓宽自己的视野。过去，传统的教室常是老师和学生共同研究和探索美妙的知识世界的场所，但现在，一切都发生了改变。先进的技术正逐步取代这些交互式的活动并给我们带来一种全新的学习方式。 国际因特网便是其中的方式之一。通过因特网学习是一种新的学习方式，许多人认为它比传统的教学方式更加有效。有了因特网，学校能够开发出大量的学习材料以供学生随时从网上获取。在网上，学生对各种课程和时间段有多种选择。因此，完成一项教育计划对学生而言就不再成为问题了。我们发现，在线教育为我们提供了绝好的信息资源，节约了时间和金钱，而且十分方便。 以前，每当需要查找资料的时候，我们总是去图书馆并在那儿花上几个小时找寻所需的资料。今天，我们自己家里也拥有了一座图书馆，而且一天24小时开放。以我初为人母的个人经验来看，我发现使用网上信息对我非常有帮助。当我在家照看孩子的时候，我仍然可以和外界保持联系并搜寻任何我所需要的教育资料。我还可以在家中和我的同学们交流思想、观点和信息。 因特网不仅仅是一个巨大的信息源，而且还能够为我们节约时间和金钱。有人预言，由于可以通过因特网获取信息，未来的教育将会比现在便宜得多。购置土地和建筑房屋的费用，以及教师的工资都在持续增长，这就使传统教育比在线教育花费更多。此外，常规的（离线）课程，严重地依赖于书本和其它传统的印刷资料。然而，在线教育则通过电子手段来显示教师授课内容、学生笔记和布置作业，这样每年可以节约数千美元。同时，在线教育还不需要教室，因为大部分网络课程要求学生通过发送电子邮件来参与讨论和进行小组项目。 在因特网上开班授课也非常方便，因为它不像传统教育那样有时间和空间上的客观限制。首先，以教室进行教学对于每个班上课的学生有数量限制，然而，教室对网络教育来说根本不是问题，每个人都可以在网上接受教育。学生们不必拼尽全力地去注册他们喜欢的课程。此外，因为没有时间限制，所以只要学生需要，他们可以反复做练习。 教育会越来越多地在网上推广开来。在以什么方式和什么时间上课的问题上，学生们会有更多的选择。他们将很容易就找到自己喜欢的班，而且可以多次复习教学内容，使用教材，直到满意为止。因特网不仅为我们寻找乐趣提供了一个绝妙的机会，而且可以让我们以更方便和更经济的方式学到知识。在我看来，未来的在线生活是不可避免的。 2.B篇凯莉·麦基 宾西法尼亚州斯蒂尔顿市的凯莉·麦基从来没有想过参加远程教育课程的学习。她已经在一所商业学校获得了毕业证书，已婚而且有孩子，是一名律师助理。但是自从她摔断颈椎变瘫痪之后，她的生活从此被永远地改变了，那时她才27岁。 随着时间的推移，凯莉学会了移动手指并可以使用计算机，借助电动轮椅的帮助，她能够设法处理自己的日常生活。尽管这种进步还不足以让她继续自己从前的职业，但是其它的机会已经出现。 凯莉说："那次意外改变了我对生活的看法，因为我没有学位，所以我马上开始寻求教育机会。"大多数的传统教育方案不允许她既能接受教育，又能照顾好正在成长的子女。于是，凯莉选择了宾西法尼亚州立大学的远程教育。 "远程学习是十分艰难的，但是我的孩子让这一切充满价值。尽管由于一些原因就算是获得了学位我也不能参加工作，但我将会是一个受过高等教育的人，为我的孩子们树立一个好榜样，同时我学到的知识对他们将来的成长也会有帮助。远程教育让我的生活从悲剧转变为胜利。她说："远程教育给我提供了一个追求我自己的目标和个人工作的机会。我的教育和我的残疾，我的家庭生活的问题以及照顾我的孩子们等问题是分开的。" 对凯莉的经历，盖里·E·米勒，远程教育助理副院长兼国际校园的主任盖里·E·米勒是这样评价的，"凯莉的情况是一个很好的例子，她告诉我们对那些不能从传统的校园教育计划获得教育的学生，远程教育对他们的生活有很大的冲击。" 远程教育和世界校园的学术顾问，简·爱尔兰德补充说道："凯莉让我们想起了远程教育的使命--无论学生的地理位置和生活状况如何，我们应该为他们提供高质量的教育和经历。我们在许多真正需要接受教育的学生身上产生了重大的影响，凯莉就是一个很好的例子。" 凯莉是一个成功的学生，她每个学期都修12个学分。她计划完成文学、艺术、和科学的学士学位，然后在网上继续她的硕士学位的学习。 毕业之后，她希望为伤残群体工作，也许会在一个康复机构担任顾问。简·爱尔兰德认为凯莉毫无疑问能实现这一目标。 凯莉非常感谢她的优秀的教师们，也感谢提供给学生的各项帮助，这包括经济资助、残疾人服务和职业再培训工作。许多工作人员都称赞凯莉表现非常出色。 苏珊·韦特克丝，宾西法尼亚州立大学杜博瓦校区的英语教师说："凯莉不仅激励了其他的学生，同时也激励了那些有幸认识她的工作人员。她让我们意识到我们的事业是多么有意义。" ? 3.A篇俱乐部和社团 聚会、喝酒、吃饭--哦，还有工作--都让时光流逝，但你内心深处确有一些很想追寻的东西，却无法实现。你一直在寻找的，我的朋友，就是将你自己投身到大学社团中的机会，去发现各种各样的活动。这些团体在像牛津这样的城市里散发着勃勃生机。 不论你是想保持已有的兴趣，还是培养新的爱好，你首先应该到牛津大学学生会的新生集会上去看看那些令人眼花缭乱的俱乐部。手持一张新生集会的入场券，你就可以得到一份崭新的关于牛津大学方方面面的综合指南。如果你错过了这场集会，别泄气，在新生周里发给你的牛津目录上，你将看到各种社团的介绍。你不妨稍作浏览--这可是你见识大学生活的重要机会。 人们投身社团生活的程度各不相同。有的完全沉醉于一个俱乐部，在接下来的三年里几乎不跟非本俱乐部成员说话，直至成为该组织的领导者。其余的人更愿意选择灵活的方式，参加几个社团，参加凡是他们感兴趣的活动。还有许多人，也许有点笨，完全无视大学社团的存在，只是与大学里的伙伴们在一起打发时间。 社团使人们有大量的机会结识校园以外的人，特别对于文科学生来说，这是难能可贵的。但是别忘了，许多学院有自己兴盛的社团，你也能在新生周里加入这些社团。音乐和戏剧总是很受欢迎，有兴趣的人聚在一起做点什么，也并非难事。如果你有心为学校新搞一个莎士比亚说唱社团，你可以向大学校监申请注册，还可获得启动资助、贷款及其他好处。 尤其是对大社团而言，其中的一个负面就是学生的钻营。"钻营"指的是有些学生在俱乐部或社团里追求职位的提高（通常是要做主席），有些社团，比如牛津大学学生俱乐部或同业协会总能吸引那些比别人更有野心的人。当学生们突然想到他们空白的履历，想到履历将与他们将来能否找到一份高收入的工作密切相关，想方设法往上爬就几乎是在所难免的了。尽管如此，也不用担心：绝大多数学生不赞成这种自我钻营的行为。他们能够从容的面对生活。 三百多个社团，对每个人来说，都应该能找到自己的位置。除了一些倾向明显的政治聚会和体育俱乐部外，所有的主要宗教都有自己的组织；有热衷于不同国家或地区的社会与文化的社团，从中国到保加利亚，以及从苏格兰到埃塞克斯的英国各地区；有热衷于义工、文学、音乐、戏剧和科幻小说的协会；还有五花八门的奇特组织，比如玛格丽特女子学院布丁协会，牛津特技协会，以及普胡牌友协会。你会喜欢它们的。 3.B篇心态平衡 在今天的现实生活中，保持心态平衡十分必要。生活中心态失衡，既无法很好地工作，心身也不能得到全面的发展。生活中有时心态失衡，人们就会觉得不满足，不愉快。 在学习和工作中我曾经历过巨大的压力，也试着用各种办法调整自己来减轻压力。最终我发现，好好利用业余时间是个办法。业余时间对我来说是不可或缺的。否则，我肯定会要发疯的。我的大部分业余时间都用于读书，听音乐，跟生活中的朋友交谈，或者跟网上遇到的人聊天。我真的很喜欢在外面找一个安静的地方读沃尔特·惠特曼和罗伯特·弗洛斯特的诗歌或著作。如果我没有时间做这些，那我也干不好别的事情。读书放松的同时，听音乐对我来说也是很重要的。如果我情绪低落，我就听慢悠悠的歌，如果我心情高兴，我就听快节奏的歌。音乐是人类共同的语言，能表达不同的情感。音乐能触及灵魂，确切地说，我认为音乐表达的实际上就是心灵的感受。 生活中的朋友和网上的朋友都是我业余时间和社交生活的一部分。朋友对我来说总是重要的。不论我做什么，他们都是我的支柱。不论我处于什么情况，我的好朋友们总是支持着我。没有他们，我不可能过着健康的心态平衡的生活。不久之前，我经历了一小段时间的失意。手头所有的工作都没有进展，也不再跟朋友们谈心。就这样过了一个礼拜，我的一个好朋友将我拉到一边，邀我跟她出去散步。我们谈到我的情况，她帮我一起分析我到底想干什么。真不知道如果她不在我身边，我会怎么样。 许多事情都有助于你调节心态。压力是一种十分危险而又累人的经历，往往是消沉和不幸的开始。但如果真有了压力，你应该做点什么而不光是等待，比如跟朋友说说，或是听听音乐。这样你也许就会觉得自己不该这么沮丧，这么心事重重。 在生活中，保持心态平衡是很重要的。要是心态失衡，每一天的生活都将是难熬的。大胆创新地利用业余时间将起到决定性的作用。 4.A篇玛塞娜的工作经历 进大学不久我就下定决心，在进入"现实世界"前先到国外呆一段。四年级的时候，我的大多数同学都在忙着为"现实世界"的工作面试，我却在研究怎么才能去另外一个国家工作。刚开始打听的时候，我对去哪儿，干什么都很随便。我就是很想出国，让我干什么都行。 不久我就听说了一个叫"北美学生英国大学俱乐部"的计划，像是专为想出国工作的学生制定的。它给在读或是刚毕业的学生提供工作签证，让他们能到海外工作。因为语言相通和找工作容易的关系，在六个可供选择的国家中我选择了英国。 毕业两个月后我横渡大西洋，到伦敦之前花六个礼拜把整个欧洲跑了一遍。1997年8月24日，我带着一张工作签证来到伦敦，但却没有工作，也没地方可住。我得承认那确实挺让人害怕的！到的第二天，我度过了我的第一个英国假日--银行休假日。这是个全国
