Laura walked towards the man. "It is terribly cold," she said."Colder than ever," the man said. "Now tell me what the hell you want." He stared at Laura for a few seconds, and then grinned, "Maybe you'd like to come inside and warm up. "No. No, I don't want to come in." She took a deep breath. "I just wanted to know if you're interested in selling your dog." "That worthless mutt?" The man pointed to a dog in the yard and laughed for a few seconds, then suddenly stopped. "I was just joking about the worthless part. He's a pretty good dog. Yeah. I might be interested." "Well, he's the kind of dog I'm looking for, and it doesn't look to me like you're too fond of him. I mean he' s tied up outside. I don't see any food or water." "You just wait a minute. I take good care of that dog. The guy I got him from said he was a trained guard dog. Trouble is the stupid thing doesn't even bark when strangers come around. But then I guess that wouldn't matter to you. You' re probably just looking for a pet, huh?" "Yeah, well here's your chance to get rid of him.I'll give you twenty dollars." He snorted(哼着鼻子说) . "You expect me to sell a purebred guard dog for twenty dollars? Fifty dollars. That' s my price. You bring me fifty dollars, honey, and you got yourself a dog." The man smiled. "Sure you don't want to come in?" Laura shook her head. "I'll be back with the money." Breakfast forgotten, she searched for and found a cash machine four blocks away. I can't afford this, she thought as she punched the numbers into the machine. The dog will need a vet(兽医) and where am I going to get the money for that? Her fears faded(消退) as she pictured the dog, curled up, not outside on the cold, hard ground, but in front

of a glowing fireplace.Blue ceramic bowls filled with food and water sat in the corner of the kitchen, and she saw him, head held high, matching her stride on their daily walk. With the money in her purse she hurried back to the man's house.

Test Yourself1Passage Two

Although Thomas Jefferson did not begin the effort of designing the University of Virginia until late in his life, the education of the common man had occupied his thoughts for decades. He believed ignorance (无知) to be the enemy of freedom, and he wanted to correct what he considered to be the weaknesses of educational institutions (机构) modeled on European settings. He imagined that an "academical village" around a tree-lined lawn would provide an ideal setting in which to pursue higher education. The center of such a village would be a Temple of Knowledge that would house the university library.

When Virginia decided to set up a state university in 1818, the retired U.S. President finally was able to devote his talent, time, and energy to creating this new kind of educational institution. By the time he was finished with his design, Jefferson had invented an entirely new American setting for higher education: the college campus.

In 1812, Jefferson chose to begin building his "academical village," the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, VA, far away from the city center. He intended this spot to promote learning because it was natural and unspoiled, and far from anything that could distract or harm the students. The University consists of two rows of houses, five on each side, leading to a main building. This main building, the Rotunda, became the most important part of the University, because it contained the library. By focusing his entire institution on the library, instead of around the church, Jefferson revolutionized American university architecture.

Jefferson's aim was to create a new institutional form for his ideal educational system, a system he thought should give every citizen the information he needs for carrying out his daily business. This new approach to citizenship and education demanded a new type of university, one where students and professors could coexist and share ideas. He attempted to create this environment by combining the professors' houses and students' classrooms, and linking all the buildings with covered walkways so intellectual exchanges between departments could go on smoothly. Jefferson had also recognized the importance of the students' whole life, and given much thought and planning to the students' dining, living, and exercise facilities (设施).

31. Jefferson devoted much of his thought to the education of the common man because he believed ________.

A. everyone who loved freedom hated ignorance

B. a country could not be strong without education

C. an uneducated man could not gain full freedom

D. European educational institutions did not suit America

32. According to Jefferson, the center of a university should be _______.

A. the church

B. the library

C. the lawn

D. the classrooms

33. Jefferson chose to locate the University of Virginia far away from the city center because ________.

A. land in the city center could not be found

B. there was a tree-lined lawn there

C. this was a European tradition

D. there was no distraction for the students

34. In Jefferson's view, an ideal educational system should ________.

A. be one under which every citizen enjoys equal opportunity

B. give everyone the information he needs for conducting his business

C. ensure that everyone has a chance to enter an institution of higher learning

D. provide students with a natural and unspoiled setting for learning

35. What was made easy by the revolutionized American campus?

A. Students' learning.

B. Intellectual exchange.

C. Professors' teaching.

D. Both students' and professors' life.

Test Yourself1Passage Three

The good news we get from TV and radio makes us feel more kindly toward other people, but bad news — especially news of cruelty and violence — stirs up suspicion and a sense of competition toward others.

These are the findings of 10 years of experiments by research psychologists (心理学家) at Columbia University, who conclude that broadcasters encourage hostile (敌对的) behavior by stressing bad news.

"We found that the news people are exposed to either encourages them to concentrate on the differences between themselves and others, or on the common problems that make them feel,

'We're all in this together,' " explained Dr. Harvey Hornstein.

"'News about one human being helping another … brings out feelings of trust and cooperation. But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."”

In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets (钱包) for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned.

"That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger."

"But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America’s Bicentennial (两百年的) celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."

Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.

After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high — up to 28 percent, from 9 percent.

"If we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, "we’re probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we’ll deal with the next individual we come up on as if he is part of that grim (冷酷的) picture of humanity. After the good news, it’s the reverse."

36. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people hear good news, they feel _______.

A. happier

B. more kindly toward others

C. safer than they really are

D. more competitive

37. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually doing harm to another, they tend to _______.

A. regard other people as worse than they really are

B. treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimes

C. become hostile towards neighbors and friends

D. think about the common problems facing mankind

38. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4, 1968?

A. Robert F. Kennedy was shot.

B. Their wallets were lost.

C. People in America suddenly became dishonest.

D. Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.

39. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably _______.

A. people drank and sang and danced

B. lost wallets were returned to their owners

C. everybody wanted to be American

D. even criminals were friendly to others

40. We can conclude from the passage that _______.

A. violence on TV leads to more violence on the streets

B. broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad news

C. the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to be

D. people are more competitive when they are faced with challenges

Kaleil Isaza Tuzman moved to the United States from Columbia when he was 15. Within a few years he was pushing to get ahead, hawking (叫卖) baseball caps to pay the bills his Harvard scholarship didn't cover.

After graduating, he landed on Wall Street, but every night he dreamed of working for himself. During the booming (繁荣的) 1990s, he gave it a try when he and a partner started govWorks - a software company that helped city government go online.

They raised $60 million and expanded like crazy. Then dotcoms started turning into dotbombs - govWorks broke up too. Says Isaza Tuzman, "Entrepreneurs (创业人) have to be ready for both success and failure. In Columbia if you fail, you become a pariah and no one will do business with you. The wonderful thing about this country is you can get up again."

From national parks to moon landings, America has given the world some amazing ideas. But the American Dream is still the biggest - the idea that with hard work and a bit of luck you can be whoever you want to be. Historian James Truslow Adams once wrote that Americans believe "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."

These days there's pressure on the dream idea. A 1978 study of boys born and raised after World War II found an astonishing 23% of the poorest had reached the top of the income heap by 1973. Now, in a typical generation, only 10% work their way from bottom to top.

But every day, some still do make it. After govWorks went bankrupt, Isaza Tuzman built on what he had learned. His new company, Recognition Group, restructures (重组) firms and finds them venture capital – nearly $150 million so far. Last year, "Hispanic Business" magazine named him to its 100 Most Influential list. Not bad for a dreamer, in a country built on dreams.

41. What did Kaleil Isaza Tuzman dream of after graduating from college?

A. Working in the Wall Street stock market.

B. Starting a business of his own.

C. Climbing to the top of society.

D. Entering the IT industry.

42. The word "pariah" in " if you fail, you become a pariah" (Line 3,Para. 3) most likely means "________."

A. a person who has no future

B. a person to be pitied

C. a person to be condemned

D. a person to be avoided

43. What does the author mean by the American Dream?

A. Everyone can reach the top of the social ladder.

B. People will have a better, richer, and fuller life than their parents.

C. A lucky poor boy can move to the top if he works hard.

D. Everyone enjoys equal opportunity and share in the wealth.

44. Which of the following statements is true of the American Dream these days?

A. It is becoming more and more difficult for one to work their way from the bottom to the top.

B. More and more people are feeling the pressure to work harder in order to realize their dreams.

C. It is becoming more and more unpopular because few people today can move up the social ladder.

D. If one works hard enough, he will eventually make his dreams come true.

45. To Kaleil Isaza Tuzman, the wonderful thing about America is that ________.

A. there is equal opportunity for everyone

B. everyone can get rich if they work hard

C. you can get capital if you want to start a business

D. you can start all over again after failure

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译

Lesson Eight The Kindness of Strangers Mike Mclntyre 1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto. 2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. 3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? 4. The idea intrigued me. 5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip. 6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America." 7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. 8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. 9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore." 10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it. 11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touching was the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.

Lesson One Half a Day Naguib Mahfous 1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time. 2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help. We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms. 3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?" 4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's not a punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys. Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?" 5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building. 6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. " 7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life. You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. " 8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way. But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?" 9. "My father, " I whispered. 10. "My father's dead, " he said simply. 11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood. 12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. " 13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences. 14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language. We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning. 15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to
