How to Do as the Romans Do in Rome?

When one person suddenly begins to live in a new culture to study abroad, he may feel like a fish out of water.The newcomer is usually uncertain about everything once familiar to him, such as what to talk about with others, how to approach a stranger, and so on and so forth.Then, what causes his confusion and what can be done to help him to get rid of it?

The term used to describe this confusion is “cultural shock”.The reasons for the cultural shock are very complex.Some people feel that it may be attributed to the language used to reflect all the ways of life in a new culture.Others believe that causes lie in the customs.Although the above two causes hold water, these cannot account for all the confusion that he feels when one person lives in a strange culture.Such shock results from losing all his family patterns and symbols of his normal daily social life.How to do as the Romans do in Rome? The right way to avoid cultural shock is to combine consciously the study of its language with that of its culture, in other words, to learn the way the language conveys ideas and acquire more cultural knowledge before going abroad.When he lives in a new culture, he should make his great efforts to adapt himself to the new life.Once he attaches as much value to the unfamiliar as to the familiar, he is sure to feel like a fish that has been put back into water.Unit 2

Environmental Problems

The world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction.For example, forest destruction results in decrease of farmland and horrible weather.In addition, man is faced with problems of water pollution and air pollution.A lot of measures have been taken.Planting trees helps to improve and beautify the environment.Besides, laws concerning environmental protection have been put into effect and have achieved good results.However, the problem of environmental protection remains far from being solved.On the one hand, the environment pollution and destruction are getting worse and worse in the modern world.On the other hand, the lack of knowledge about the importance of protecting the environment hinders solving the problem.In a word, there is a long way to go before we enjoy a clean and comfortable worl Unit 3

On Marriage Across the Nations

With the development of China’s opening and reform policy, a growing number of Chinese young people get married with foreigners.However, Chinese people take different attitudes towards this phenomenon.Some people are of the opinion that marriage across the nations may cause many problems that are unavoidable and cannot be solved.First, language misunderstanding is an obstacle to a happy marriage when the husband and the wife speak two different languages.Lack of efficient communication can jeopardize their relationship.Second, cultural difference is another barrier.Inconveniences, misunderstandings and even conflicts may arise from different norms, values and lifestyles.In short, it’s hard to imagine that a marriage like this can work out.Other people argue that marriage across the nations can be beneficial to both the couple and their children.For one thing, life can be very exciting when one gets to live with someone who is from a totally different culture.To them, they are getting to know something new everyday.For another, the mixed couple’s children may absorb the essence of the parents’ cultural backgrounds and bring it into full play.In brief, marriage across the nations can do a lot of good to the family.As far as I am concerned, I’m in favor of the former/ latter.The most important reason is that…Therefore, I’d like to / I don’t want to marry a man/ girl from another nation.Unit 4

On Studying Abroad

With the deepening of reform and opening-up of our country, many people can go abroad for further study.They insist that there are more modern research facilities, world famous professors and excellent environment in some foreign colleges and universities, which lay a perfect foundation for their future development.However, there are still many people who favor studying at home.They argue that, for one thing, studying abroad is too expensive and therefore doesn’t pay off.For another, there are no language and cultural barriers if they study in our country.Just as the old saying goes, “Every advantage has its disadvantage,” so I believe both opinions are acceptable in some sense.If students have the chances and financial resources, they should seize the opportunity to go abroad and broaden their eyes.On the other hand, if conditions don’t permit, they can pursue their studies at top universities in our country.What counts is not the place where they study, but what they can learn.Unit 5

1)現(xiàn)在家長(zhǎng)溺愛孩子的形式多種多樣

2)造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因以及影響3)我給家長(zhǎng)們的建議是…….Stop Spoiling Children

There is a growing tendency for many parents to spoil their children in various ways.Some parents buy their children the most expensive clothes no matter whether they can afford them or not, while other parents give all their love to their children endlessly and blindly.It is indispensable that spoiling children has become a common social problem.Why do parents give their children too much, and even spoil their children? On one hand, parents spoil their children out of a sense of guilt.They attempt to compensate by showering their children with material possessions because they are too busy to accompany their children.On the other hand, many parents don’t want their children to be laughed at.As a result, parents are unable to stand up to their children’s unreasonable demands.It is commonly acknowledged that spoiling children has caused many bad effects.First, to some degree, children may become greedy, selfish, ungrateful and insensitive to the needs and feelings of others.Secondly, providing too much will, destroy children’s creativity and make them have fewer opportunities to learn the value of money.In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures should be taken before things get worse.First, parents should try to determine what makes them submit to feel guilty.Meanwhile, parents should begin to make firm decisions and practice responding to their children’s request in a prompt, definite manner.Don’t forget the key is to be satisfied with gradual improvements, expecting and accepting the occasional slips that come with any change.In the end, both parents and children will be happy.Unit 6

1)現(xiàn)在不少人取名時(shí)求助于取名公司(name-picking firm)2)是否應(yīng)該這樣做，人們看法不同

3)我認(rèn)為……

On Names

Many name-picking firms have sprung up in recent years.Since more and more parents tend to put their best wishes and high expectations on the child into the new-born, they turn to name-picking firms.However, different people have different ideas about name-picking firms.Some people believe it is in vain to turn to name-picking firms.Firstly, they think name is just a symbol to identify people and name has nothing to do with one’s fate.Secondly, it’s great efforts instead of a good name that lead to one’s success.But other people hold an opposite opinion.They believe name can express some quality considered characteristic or descriptive of a person, often expressing approval or disapproval.A good name will bring good luck, success, and fortune for you.As far as I’m concerned, one’s fate is in his own hand, rather than in name-picking firm’s hand.One famous poet said: “Every man is the architect of his own fate.” It is the great determination and efforts that help us find the key to success.Unit 7

1)許多人害怕壓力

2)有些人卻提出壓力并不是壞事3)我的觀點(diǎn)

Is Stress a Bad Thing?

With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.Some people are afraid of pressure.They think that the stress and strain of work deprive them of joy and happiness.In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally.That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.Others argue that stress isn’t as bad as it is often supposed to be.Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation.Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time.Stress gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless and dull life.People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and realize their goal.In my opinion, we shouldn’t escape from stress but to face as it is.What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.

? Life after marriage is different from that during dating.? When dating, lovers show their best sides and conceal their weaknesses.? Dating is also characteristic of romance and fantasy.? After marriage, strengths and weaknesses of each other’s characters are revealed.? Couples may feel a little bit confused and disappointed.? It requires couples to adjust their attitudes and commit more effort to ensure a happy marriage.2）Would you accept a long distance relationship? And why? ? Yes.?

True love can transcend everything.?

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.?

You will cherish each other more.Viewing, listening and speaking

第二冊(cè) Unit1Are You a 1960s Type Student?

A 1960s type student is very different from students nowadays.Their main purpose to get into colleges is as far apart as heaven and earth.A 1960s student is committed to freedom and justice.However, college students nowadays are utilitarians, what they truly want to do is to increase their chances on the employment market.As an utilitarian and a college student myself, I can fully understand why they focus on employability prospects.Financial pressure and high employment pressure play a main part.An increasing number of people get higher education, thus a position which needed a B.S.in the past, demands M.S., even though a B.S.can handle it quite well.Then the employment market becomes competitive.And they will spent more

time on their study, and lose interest in the outerworld, in order to be financial secured after they graduate.In this process, their life becomes colorless and tedious.William Zinsser said, “What I wish for all students is some release from the clammy grip of the future.I wish them a chance to savor each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a grim preparation for the next step.”Although we are not aware of political awakening, we are still able to see universities as an end in itself.Instead of freedom and justice, college life mean making new friends, following our muses, indulging in our real interests.

Unit 4 Text A 大學(xué)情侶 我微笑著看著我那兩個(gè)可愛的女兒，她們似乎比她們的父母還是大學(xué)情侶那會(huì)兒更為成熟。琳達(dá)，21歲，在大學(xué)一年級(jí)交過(guò)一個(gè)男友，她曾以為會(huì)跟那個(gè)男孩結(jié)婚，但他們已不再來(lái)往了。梅麗莎，19歲，還沒有一個(gè)固定的男友。我的女兒不知何時(shí)才能遇到她們的那個(gè)“唯一”，她們偉大的愛。她們認(rèn)為她們的父親和我有著一段經(jīng)典的、童話般的浪漫史，從一開始就直奔婚姻的殿堂。也許，她們是正確的，但在那時(shí)似乎并不是那么回事。在某種程度上，愛神恰恰在你最沒準(zhǔn)備時(shí)來(lái)臨。誰(shuí)曾想到，布奇和我最終會(huì)結(jié)婚呢？ 他之所以成為我男友，只是因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)我那膚淺的打算：我要找一個(gè)可愛的男友！我們通過(guò)我的大學(xué)室友介紹在大學(xué)食堂相識(shí)。在那個(gè)命中注定的夜晚，我只是好奇，但對(duì)他而言，我認(rèn)為是一見鐘情。他凝視著我的臉，說(shuō)：“你有一雙美麗的眼睛?！?他整個(gè)晚上一直盯著我。我真的對(duì)他沒那么感興趣，其原因有二。首先，他看起來(lái)就像是一個(gè)野小子，甚至還有些危險(xiǎn)。其次，雖然他很可愛，卻似乎有點(diǎn)怪異。他騎著自行車經(jīng)過(guò)我的宿舍，裝作與我“偶遇”，看到我時(shí)還假裝驚訝。我喜歡被重視的感覺，但對(duì)他的野性和充滿活力的個(gè)性卻小心謹(jǐn)慎。他很會(huì)說(shuō)話，這會(huì)迷倒任何女孩。當(dāng)我開始愛上他時(shí)，恐懼向我襲來(lái)。他那令人激動(dòng)的“壞小子形象”簡(jiǎn)直太誘人了。究竟是什么吸引了我？ 我，一直口碑極好。為了獲得優(yōu)異的成績(jī)，我的注意力只專注在自己的學(xué)習(xí)上。但又怎么樣呢？ 大學(xué)應(yīng)該是學(xué)習(xí)的好時(shí)間，可也應(yīng)該有一些樂(lè)趣。我已幾乎達(dá)成了偉大的教育目標(biāo)，離畢業(yè)只有一學(xué)期之遙了。但我卻還沒有享受過(guò)任何樂(lè)趣，我的生活乏味，沒有一點(diǎn)新鮮感！我需要一個(gè)男朋友，當(dāng)然不是任何男朋友。他必須很可愛。于是我那個(gè)學(xué)期的目標(biāo)就成為：雄心勃勃，抓住一個(gè)我能找到的最可愛的男友。我擔(dān)心他會(huì)怎么看我。不錯(cuò)，我們生活在一個(gè)性觀念正在發(fā)生戲劇性轉(zhuǎn)變的時(shí)代，但我是一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的女孩，對(duì)在校園里似乎常見的新方式還沒有心理準(zhǔn)備。布奇看上去很出色！我對(duì)他的個(gè)性毫無(wú)免疫力，但我對(duì)此很害怕。那天晚上當(dāng)他向大家宣布我是他女友時(shí)，我是同意的。但我隨后突然清醒：“噢，我的天哪！我是他女友嗎？這是怎么回事？” 緊接著，他在我耳邊低聲地甜言蜜語(yǔ)：“有一天我要娶你，我會(huì)成為一名律師。你會(huì)看到這一天的?！? 我笑著對(duì)自己說(shuō)：“我絕不會(huì)嫁給這個(gè)家伙。他是一個(gè)沒有前途的叛逆者。他是我男朋友，只因?yàn)槲液蘅菰锏膶W(xué)生生活。我只想得到樂(lè)趣而已?！? 果然，一個(gè)月后，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他所有的課程都不及格。因而，他將被大學(xué)除名。令我厭惡的是，他似乎屈從了自己的命運(yùn)。我知道還有希望，所以我讓他去學(xué)院的秘書那兒進(jìn)行復(fù)議。我告訴他：“你要先從賓夕法尼亞大學(xué)拿到政治學(xué)學(xué)士學(xué)位，然后進(jìn)入法律學(xué)院?！蔽乙运拿x遞交了呈請(qǐng)書，結(jié)果被批準(zhǔn)了。校方同意復(fù)議布奇的情況。我們的男女朋友關(guān)系一經(jīng)確定，他就協(xié)調(diào)了他的學(xué)習(xí)和社交生活，結(jié)果各門課都通過(guò)了。他最終學(xué)了法律。盡管布奇的性格有點(diǎn)野，但他在骨子里卻是一個(gè)完美的紳士，這值得高度贊揚(yáng)。的確，他有時(shí)會(huì)在我朋友面前親吻我的嘴，擅自表達(dá)他的愛。我的朋友看到了很驚訝，也很不以為然。但事實(shí)上，我們?cè)谡吣甑膽賽坳P(guān)系中一直是純潔和負(fù)責(zé)的。我們坐在棕櫚樹下，手牽著手，聽著浪漫的歌曲，觀賞著日落，編織著和我們自己的孩子在一起的美夢(mèng)，一直到永遠(yuǎn)。兩年糊里糊涂地過(guò)去了。一天，布奇出其不意地手捧著一打紅玫瑰跪下向我求婚。我心中充滿了深情，也坦誠(chéng)了對(duì)他的愛：“太太太太太浪漫了！” 可我隨即從幻想中驚醒。我大喊出來(lái)：“天哪。不！我們現(xiàn)在結(jié)婚還太早了。我們甚至還沒有大學(xué)畢業(yè)呢！” 我真的很喜歡他，但我對(duì)我們感情修成正果的機(jī)率卻持悲觀態(tài)度。五年后，我們結(jié)了婚。我們忠實(shí)的愛和學(xué)習(xí)之旅帶我們走過(guò)艱難崎嶇的巖石路，走上平坦易行的公路。它是一個(gè)永久、浪漫，有時(shí)又瘋狂的愛情故事。它詮釋了一對(duì)仍在瘋狂地愛著對(duì)方的夫婦如何一起度過(guò)了29年之久的蜜月。我們的愛從漫不經(jīng)心的互相吸引開始，但最終卻發(fā)展出成熟的愛情和富足的生活。

Unit 4 Text B 戀愛預(yù)留日 每天我都焦急地等你來(lái)上課。我迫不及待地等待我們的互相微笑，互問(wèn)早安。你在離上課僅幾秒前才出現(xiàn)，在那之前，我對(duì)任何東西都無(wú)動(dòng)于衷，只會(huì)注意你的到來(lái)。我不溫習(xí)功課，卻期待著你的腳步聲，期待聽到你的聲音。今天你又來(lái)晚了, 但我不介意，因?yàn)樵谙爰s你出去的沖動(dòng)被克制了一個(gè)月之后，今天我感覺大膽多了。今天，我要采取行動(dòng)。我知道約會(huì)方式近年來(lái)有了顯著的改變，對(duì)許多女性來(lái)說(shuō)，邀請(qǐng)男性出去已不是什么大膽的舉動(dòng)。但是，因?yàn)槲宜艿膫鹘y(tǒng)教育，邀請(qǐng)你出去這一簡(jiǎn)單的概念似乎非同尋常。從小到大，這一信息很明確：男性必須主動(dòng)出擊，聯(lián)絡(luò)女性。他們應(yīng)該打電話，要求約會(huì)，并支付約會(huì)的費(fèi)用。然而，在大學(xué)這么些年，我了解到的并非如此。我的許多女性朋友通過(guò)主動(dòng)提出與男性交往，讓她們的社交生活迸出了火花。我的女性朋友都認(rèn)為，女性必須更多地參與約會(huì)的過(guò)程?！拔也荒軣o(wú)所事事、一味等待，”我的前室友曾說(shuō)?！半m然這很難，但如果我想約會(huì)，我必須邀請(qǐng)男人出去！” 更多的女性在爭(zhēng)取主動(dòng)，在邀請(qǐng)男性出去。許多男性說(shuō)他們認(rèn)同這一新現(xiàn)象。他們都松了一口氣，約會(huì)不再僅僅取決于男性自己的意愿和勇氣來(lái)踏出第一步。那么，我為什么還這么緊張？ 我告訴自己要放松，因?yàn)槿缃竦募s會(huì)要比以往來(lái)得輕松。一個(gè)大學(xué)的約會(huì)可以是兩個(gè)人一起做任何事，從一起學(xué)習(xí)到一起共度閑暇時(shí)間，如看電影。我的同齡人大多喜歡非正式的約會(huì)，因?yàn)樗ㄙM(fèi)更少，且舒適。學(xué)生邀請(qǐng)人打網(wǎng)球要比他們計(jì)劃一個(gè)正式場(chǎng)合的約會(huì)更感輕松。非正式約會(huì)的額外好處是，它鼓勵(lì)人們?cè)陂_始浪漫的關(guān)系前，先建立起健康的友誼。這樣，年輕人可以更容易放松心情和了解對(duì)方。例如，我的室友和她的男友在他們來(lái)電之前做了四個(gè)月的普通朋友。他們經(jīng)常與一群共同的朋友出去。他們輪流買單?！八拖袢魏纹渌呐笥岩粯樱蔽业氖矣研χf(shuō)。另一位朋友認(rèn)為，非正式約會(huì)能改善人們的社會(huì)生活，使他們周旋于更廣泛的社交圈。當(dāng)她想要讓一個(gè)男人知道她對(duì)他很感興趣時(shí)，她會(huì)說(shuō)：“嘿，我們?nèi)ズ纫槐崮贪伞被颉皝?lái)一杯茶如何？” 可誰(shuí)來(lái)買單？ 這可不如以前那么容易了，因?yàn)榍髳鄣膫鹘y(tǒng)規(guī)則正在發(fā)生重大變化。初步統(tǒng)計(jì)的數(shù)字也證明了這一點(diǎn)。眾多的青年男子說(shuō)，在約會(huì)幾次后，女性應(yīng)該幫著一同買單。幾乎相等百分比的女性要求自己買單，哪怕是第一次約會(huì)。但巨大的困惑仍然存在，新規(guī)則還有待澄清。我自己過(guò)去的約會(huì)教會(huì)了我一些東西。“各付各的” 或是讓我的約會(huì)對(duì)象買單可以說(shuō)都是絕對(duì)的挑戰(zhàn)。有一個(gè)約會(huì)對(duì)象在我們第一次約會(huì)時(shí)，還沒等我提出相左的建議，就掏出了錢包。在晚餐后散步時(shí)，他告訴我他想跟我談戀愛。當(dāng)我解釋我對(duì)做朋友更感興趣時(shí)，他似乎感到不快。他解釋說(shuō)，因?yàn)槲医邮芰怂?qǐng)我吃晚餐，所以他認(rèn)為我會(huì)跟他戀愛。他似乎對(duì)請(qǐng)我吃飯一事很生自己的氣，而我也很后悔讓他這么做。另一個(gè)約會(huì)對(duì)象，在我急忙打開錢包掏出錢，并提出各付各的時(shí)，他皺起了眉頭。我客氣地問(wèn)道：“我欠你多少錢？” 他說(shuō)：“嗯，嗯，你真的不欠我什么，但如果你堅(jiān)持……” 他顯得極為尷尬。對(duì)他而言，我要付錢的行動(dòng)已傳達(dá)了他被拒絕的信息。在試圖搞清約會(huì)的新規(guī)則時(shí)，每個(gè)人似乎都感到困惑。誰(shuí)應(yīng)請(qǐng)誰(shuí)出去？ 誰(shuí)應(yīng)付錢？什么時(shí)候付？ 所以，雖然我認(rèn)為穿著正式地去一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)、正式的約會(huì)是一種樂(lè)趣，但我還是樂(lè)意去非正式的約會(huì)，因?yàn)樗o我的社交生活帶來(lái)了有價(jià)值的一面。因?yàn)槭欠钦郊s會(huì)，壓力較小，且更平等。我可以送別人玫瑰，別人也可以送我！非正式約會(huì)值得去做，因?yàn)樗苡?。所以，我在這里等待著。沒有神奇的方案可以確保他會(huì)說(shuō)“好的”。我得放松，做我自己，并用一種沒有廢話的方式邀請(qǐng)他出去。他終于到了。在悄悄地溜到他的書桌時(shí)，他拍拍我的肩膀，說(shuō)：“嗨，早上好??！” “早上好，”我謹(jǐn)慎地回答。因?yàn)榫o張，我的心緊揪著，可是我征服了恐懼，問(wèn)道：“嘿，這個(gè)周五下課后一起吃午餐，怎么樣？” “你的意思是期中考試后嗎？”他用難以掩飾的熱情說(shuō)：“我很愿意和你一起吃午餐?！? 我很激動(dòng)，笑得很開心，并跟他確認(rèn)：“那，我們就定了那天啦！” “好，就那樣！”他興高采烈地回答。
