U1 A Toward a brighter future for all 奔向更加光明的未來(lái)

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.下午好！作為校長(zhǎng)，我非常自豪地歡迎你們來(lái)到這所大學(xué)。你們所取得的成就是你們自己多年努力的結(jié)果，也是你們的父母和老師們多年努力的結(jié)果。在這所大學(xué)里，我們承諾將使你們學(xué)有所成。

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.在歡迎你們到來(lái)的這一刻，我想起自己高中畢業(yè)時(shí)的情景，還有媽媽為我和爸爸拍的合影。媽媽吩咐我們：“姿勢(shì)自然點(diǎn)。”“等一等，”爸爸說(shuō)，“把我遞給他鬧鐘的情景拍下來(lái)?！痹诖髮W(xué)期間，那個(gè)鬧鐘每天早晨叫醒我。至今它還放在我辦公室的桌子上。

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.讓我來(lái)告訴你們一些你們未必預(yù)料得到的事情。你們將會(huì)懷念以前的生活習(xí)慣，懷念父母曾經(jīng)提醒你們要刻苦學(xué)習(xí)、取得佳績(jī)。你們可能因?yàn)楦咧猩罱K于結(jié)束而喜極而泣，你們的父母也可能因?yàn)榻K于不用再給你們洗衣服而喜極而泣！但是要記?。何磥?lái)是建立在過(guò)去扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)上的。

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.對(duì)你們而言，接下來(lái)的四年將會(huì)是無(wú)與倫比的一段時(shí)光。在這里，你們擁有豐富的資源：有來(lái)自全國(guó)各地的有趣的學(xué)生，有學(xué)識(shí)淵博又充滿(mǎn)愛(ài)心的老師，有綜合性圖書(shū)館，有完備的運(yùn)動(dòng)設(shè)施，還有針對(duì)不同興趣的學(xué)生社團(tuán)——從文科社團(tuán)到理科社團(tuán)、到社區(qū)服務(wù)等等。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.你們將自由地探索、學(xué)習(xí)新科目。你們要學(xué)著習(xí)慣點(diǎn)燈熬油，學(xué)著結(jié)交充滿(mǎn)魅力的人，學(xué)著去追求新的愛(ài)好。我想鼓勵(lì)你們充分利用這一特殊的經(jīng)歷，并用你們的干勁和熱情去收獲這一機(jī)會(huì)所帶來(lái)的豐碩成果。

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.有這么多課程可供選擇，你可能會(huì)不知所措。你不可能選修所有的課程，但是要盡可能體驗(yàn)更多的課程！大學(xué)里有很多事情可做可學(xué)，每件事情都會(huì)為你提供不同視角來(lái)審視世界。如果我只能給你們一條選課建議的話(huà)，那就是：挑戰(zhàn)自己！不要認(rèn)為你早就了解自己對(duì)什么樣的領(lǐng)域最感興趣。選擇一些你從未接觸過(guò)的領(lǐng)域的課程。這樣，你不僅會(huì)變得更加博學(xué)，而且更有可能發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)你未曾想到的、能成就你未來(lái)的愛(ài)好。一個(gè)絕佳的例子就是時(shí)裝設(shè)計(jì)師王薇薇，她最初學(xué)的是藝術(shù)史。隨著時(shí)間的推移，王薇薇把藝術(shù)史研究和對(duì)時(shí)裝的熱愛(ài)結(jié)合起來(lái)，并將其轉(zhuǎn)化為對(duì)設(shè)計(jì)的熱情，從而使她成為全球聞名的設(shè)計(jì)師。

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!在大學(xué)里，一下子擁有這么多新鮮體驗(yàn)可能不會(huì)總是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍樓里，住在你隔壁寢室的同學(xué)可能會(huì)反復(fù)播放同一首歌，令你頭痛欲裂！

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!你可能喜歡早起，而你的室友卻是個(gè)夜貓子！盡管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成為最要好的朋友。如果有些新的經(jīng)歷讓你感覺(jué)不那么舒心，不要擔(dān)心。我保證快樂(lè)的經(jīng)歷會(huì)多于不快的經(jīng)歷。而且我保證幾乎所有這些經(jīng)歷都會(huì)給你帶來(lái)寶貴的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)，從而使你的生活更加豐富多彩。所以，帶著熱切的目光和歡樂(lè)的心情，去擁抱這些新的體驗(yàn)吧！

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? 我們相信，你們的自我發(fā)現(xiàn)之旅和對(duì)愛(ài)好的尋求帶給你們的將不僅僅是個(gè)人的進(jìn)步。我們相信，當(dāng)你們成為我們的學(xué)者群體中的一員時(shí)，你們很快就會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)到，大學(xué)不僅提供大量自我充實(shí)的機(jī)會(huì)，同時(shí)也帶來(lái)了責(zé)任。一位智者說(shuō)過(guò)：“教育代代相傳，它就是社會(huì)的靈魂?！蹦銈兪悄銈兗彝バ燎趧趧?dòng)成果的傳承者，也是無(wú)數(shù)前輩辛勤勞動(dòng)成果的傳承者。他們積累了知識(shí)，并把知識(shí)傳遞給你們，而這些知識(shí)正是你們?nèi)〉贸晒λ匦璧摹，F(xiàn)在輪到你們了。你們會(huì)獲取什么樣的知識(shí)？你們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)什么樣的興趣愛(ài)好？你們?cè)鯓幼霾拍転槟銈兊淖訉O后代創(chuàng)造一個(gè)強(qiáng)大昌盛的未來(lái)？

Unit 1 時(shí)間觀念強(qiáng)的美國(guó)人

--------

美國(guó)人認(rèn)為沒(méi)有人會(huì)停止不前。如果你不求進(jìn)取，就會(huì)落伍。這種態(tài)度造就了一個(gè)決心投身于研究、實(shí)驗(yàn)和探索的民族。時(shí)間是美國(guó)人注意節(jié)約的兩個(gè)要素之一，另一個(gè)則是工作。人們一直在說(shuō): “只有時(shí)間才能支配我們?！?人們似乎是把時(shí)間當(dāng)作一個(gè)差不多是實(shí)實(shí)在在的東西來(lái)對(duì)待的。我們安排時(shí)間、節(jié)約時(shí)間、浪費(fèi)時(shí)間、擠搶時(shí)間、消磨時(shí)間、縮減時(shí)間、對(duì)時(shí)間的使用作出解釋;我們還要因時(shí)間而收取費(fèi)用。時(shí)間是一種寶貴的資源。許多人都深感人生的短暫。一旦人生的光陰逝去，就不能復(fù)返了。我們應(yīng)當(dāng)讓每一分鐘都過(guò)得有意義。

外國(guó)人對(duì)美國(guó)的第一印象很可能就是：每個(gè)人都顯得匆匆忙忙—常常是處于壓力之下。城里人看上去總是在匆匆地趕往他們要去的地方，在商店里他們焦躁不安地指望店員能馬上來(lái)為他們服務(wù)，或者為了想趕快買(mǎi)完?yáng)|西，用肘來(lái)推搡他人。白天人人都急急忙忙地吃飯則部分地體現(xiàn)了這個(gè)國(guó)家的生活節(jié)奏。工作時(shí)間被認(rèn)為是寶貴的。在公共用餐場(chǎng)所，人們等著別人吃完，這樣可以輪到他們，以按時(shí)趕回去工作。你還會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)汽車(chē)司機(jī)開(kāi)車(chē)很魯莽, 人們推搡著在你身邊過(guò)去。你會(huì)懷念微笑、簡(jiǎn)短的交談及與陌生人的隨意閑聊。不要覺(jué)得 這是針對(duì)你個(gè)人的，這是因?yàn)槿藗兎浅Ｕ湎r(shí)間，而且也不喜歡他人不得當(dāng)?shù)亍袄速M(fèi)”時(shí)間。

許多剛到美國(guó)的人會(huì)懷念諸如商務(wù)拜訪等場(chǎng)合開(kāi)始時(shí)的寒喧。他們也會(huì)懷念那種喝著招待客人的茶或咖啡的禮節(jié)性交往, 這也許是他們自己國(guó)家的一種習(xí)俗。他們也許還會(huì)想念在飯店或咖啡館里談生意時(shí)的那種輕松悠閑的交談。一般說(shuō)來(lái)，美國(guó)人是不會(huì)在如此輕松的環(huán)境里通過(guò)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的閑聊來(lái)評(píng)估他們的客人的，更不用說(shuō)他們會(huì)在增進(jìn)相互間信任的過(guò)程中帶他們出去吃飯，或帶他們?nèi)ジ郀柗蚯驁?chǎng)。既然我們通常是通過(guò)工作而不是社交來(lái)評(píng)估和了解他人的，我們就開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山地談生意。因此時(shí)間老是在我們的耳朵里嘀嗒嘀嗒地響著。因而我們千方百計(jì)地節(jié)約時(shí)間。我們發(fā)明了一系列節(jié)省勞力的裝置；我們通過(guò)發(fā)傳真、打電話(huà)或發(fā)電子郵件與他人迅速地進(jìn)行交流, 而不是通過(guò)直接接觸。雖然面對(duì)面接觸令人愉快，但卻要化更多的時(shí)間, 尤其是在馬路上交通擁擠時(shí)。因此我們把大多數(shù)個(gè)人間的拜訪放在下班以后的時(shí)間里或周末的社交聚會(huì)上進(jìn)行。

就我們而言，電子交流的缺乏人情味與我們手頭上事情的重要性之間很少有或完全沒(méi)有關(guān)系。在有些國(guó)家里, 沒(méi)有當(dāng)面接觸就做不成大生意, 需要面對(duì)面的交談。在美國(guó)，最后協(xié)議通常也需要本人簽字。然而現(xiàn)在人們?cè)絹?lái)越多的是在電視屏幕上見(jiàn)面，開(kāi)電信會(huì)議不僅能解決本國(guó)的問(wèn)題，而且還能— 通過(guò)衛(wèi)星—解決國(guó)與國(guó)之間的問(wèn)題。美國(guó)無(wú)疑是一個(gè)電話(huà)王國(guó)。幾乎每個(gè)人都在用電話(huà)做生意、與朋友聊天、安排或取消社交約會(huì)、說(shuō)聲 “謝謝”、購(gòu)物、或去獲得各種信息。電話(huà)不但能免去你的走路之勞，而且還能為你節(jié)約大量時(shí)間。其部分原因在于這樣一個(gè)事實(shí)：美國(guó)的電話(huà)服務(wù)是一流的，而郵政服務(wù)的效率則差勁多了。有些初來(lái)美國(guó)的人很可能來(lái)自其它的文化背景，在那里人們認(rèn)為工作太快是一種失禮。在他們看來(lái)，如果不是花一定時(shí)間來(lái)處理某件事的話(huà)，則這件事就好像是無(wú)足輕重的，不值得給予適當(dāng)?shù)闹匾暋Ｒ虼?，人們覺(jué)得用的時(shí)間長(zhǎng)會(huì)增加所做事情的重要性。但在美國(guó)，能迅速而又成功地解決問(wèn)題或完成工作，則被視為是有水平、有能力的標(biāo)志。通常，工作越重要，投入的資金、精力和注意力就越多，其目的是 “使工作開(kāi)展起來(lái)”。

UNIT2 世界各地的環(huán)境保護(hù)

--------世界上大部分地區(qū)不存在環(huán)保意識(shí)。絕大多數(shù)國(guó)家只顧經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，而不顧經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展對(duì)全球生態(tài)環(huán)境的影響。但近年來(lái)，隨著環(huán)境損害的日益嚴(yán)重，世界各地已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)了許多變化的跡象。下面就是幾個(gè)正在采取環(huán)境保護(hù)新舉措的國(guó)家的例子。

加拿大

--------

當(dāng)歐洲的探險(xiǎn)者剛踏上新大陸時(shí)，后來(lái)成為加拿大東部和新英格蘭的沿海漁場(chǎng)盛產(chǎn)鱈魚(yú)及其他魚(yú)類(lèi)。號(hào)稱(chēng)大淺灘的海域是當(dāng)時(shí)世界上產(chǎn)魚(yú)最多的漁場(chǎng)。

500年以后的今天，過(guò)度捕撈已使魚(yú)的數(shù)量減少到危險(xiǎn)的程度。針對(duì)這一情況，加拿大關(guān)閉了這一捕鱈海域，并對(duì)其他魚(yú)類(lèi)的捕撈量也作出嚴(yán)格限制。

加拿大在20世紀(jì)70年代也曾采過(guò)取類(lèi)似措施來(lái)保護(hù)鯡魚(yú)的數(shù)量，最終鯡魚(yú)的數(shù)量得到了恢復(fù)。但是專(zhuān)家們說(shuō)，由于時(shí)下的濫捕，某些魚(yú)類(lèi)可能永遠(yuǎn)也恢復(fù)不到原來(lái)的數(shù)量了。政府也面臨著來(lái)自加拿大漁民的抗議。因?yàn)榻麧O和捕魚(yú)數(shù)量的減少，現(xiàn)在己有大約4萬(wàn)漁民失業(yè)。

哥斯達(dá)黎加

--------

這個(gè)中美洲國(guó)家為保護(hù)其熱帶雨林的生態(tài)多樣性，已制訂出世界上最為雄心勃勃的的規(guī)劃之一。這個(gè)國(guó)家許多地區(qū)的樹(shù)木已被砍伐殆盡，而且土地流失范圍十分廣。但是人們制訂了一系列新的環(huán)境保護(hù)法，還新建了占四分之一國(guó)土面積的公園和自然保護(hù)區(qū)，目的是要保護(hù)哥斯達(dá)黎加現(xiàn)存的森林。巴西

--------

巴西是全世界最大的熱帶叢林-亞馬遜雨林的生長(zhǎng)地。幾十年來(lái)，巴西政府一直在致力于開(kāi)拓和開(kāi)發(fā)亞馬遜雨林，給這個(gè)地區(qū)及其居民帶來(lái)了嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境災(zāi)難。

但在1991年，在世界各地環(huán)境保護(hù)者的壓力下，巴西徹底改弦更張。它取消了原本旨在鼓勵(lì)砍伐亞馬遜雨林的稅收優(yōu)惠，而且還批準(zhǔn)了給新的森林保護(hù)項(xiàng)目提供資金的計(jì)劃。

養(yǎng)牛場(chǎng)場(chǎng)主、礦工和移民們反對(duì)這個(gè)措施，繼續(xù)破壞森林, 雖然破壞速度比過(guò)去已放慢。去年，礦工們?yōu)榱藸?zhēng)奪印第安人的土地而殺死了一群居住在亞馬遜雨林里的印第安人后，沖突擴(kuò)大了。巴西政府承諾，將保護(hù)該地區(qū)的土著居民，但人們對(duì)這個(gè)承諾的可信度仍心存疑慮。

東歐

--------

東歐各國(guó)，包括波蘭、匈牙利、捷克和斯洛伐克共和國(guó)，被認(rèn)為是世界上工業(yè)化國(guó)家中污染最嚴(yán)重的。開(kāi)挖煤礦時(shí)逸出的重金屬已經(jīng)污染了這個(gè)地區(qū)的許多水域。河流、土地及森林的污染是如此嚴(yán)重，以至現(xiàn)在其中的許多在生物學(xué)上來(lái)講已經(jīng)死亡。

通過(guò)簽訂一系列專(zhuān)門(mén)性條約，東歐國(guó)家已與許多其它國(guó)家，包括美國(guó)，設(shè)立了用來(lái)凈化環(huán)境和改善該地區(qū)發(fā)電廠的特別基金。此外，德國(guó)和捷克共和國(guó)已簽訂了一項(xiàng)條約以保護(hù)易北河，使之不再進(jìn)一步被污染。專(zhuān)家們說(shuō)該條約可被視為保護(hù)該地區(qū)其它河流，包括奧德河和多瑙河在內(nèi)，的典范。

加納

--------

加納的人口一直在以每年3.2%的速度增長(zhǎng)。這種人口激增已導(dǎo)致了該國(guó)許多地方森林的消失及對(duì)現(xiàn)存農(nóng)田過(guò)度耕作。森林正在以每年278平方英里的速度被砍伐。

針對(duì)這一情況，政府鼓勵(lì)當(dāng)?shù)卮迩f建立更多的共有農(nóng)田。為恢復(fù)荒地的地力，它資助人們種植諸如木薯、玉米、棉花之類(lèi)的經(jīng)濟(jì)作物和植樹(shù)造林。觀察家們稱(chēng)該計(jì)劃已成功地鞏固了該國(guó)的農(nóng)業(yè)基礎(chǔ)，而且還給村民們帶來(lái)了新的財(cái)源。但是要知道這些措施是否會(huì)產(chǎn)生足夠的影響來(lái)減緩砍伐森林的速度，尚須時(shí)日。印度尼西亞

--------

印度尼西亞人傳統(tǒng)上偏愛(ài)大家庭，他們的主要宗教伊斯蘭教不贊成節(jié)制生育。但是這個(gè)人口達(dá)1.88億的國(guó)家正在為了給其人民提供足夠的食物、住房和工作機(jī)會(huì)而苦苦掙扎。印尼政府近幾年來(lái)已發(fā)動(dòng)了一場(chǎng)大規(guī)模的廣告宣傳運(yùn)動(dòng)來(lái)鼓勵(lì)節(jié)制生育，并提出了鼓勵(lì)措施，如提供免費(fèi)去沙特阿拉伯的麥加-伊斯蘭教的誕生地-的機(jī)會(huì)。

印尼政府已成功地?cái)U(kuò)大了實(shí)行節(jié)制生育的范圍，節(jié)育人口已從20年前的10%增加到今天的49%。其結(jié)果是每個(gè)婦女從平均生育5.6個(gè)孩子下降到平均生育3個(gè)。印尼政府希望到2005年的時(shí)候，每個(gè)婦女的平均生育數(shù)可下降到2.1個(gè)。但是因?yàn)樵搰?guó)的人口基數(shù)十分大，要想達(dá)到政府的人口目標(biāo)，印尼還必須再轉(zhuǎn)變幾百萬(wàn)人的思想，讓他們接受節(jié)制生育的觀念。

UNIT3 跨國(guó)婚姻

--------

我和蓋爾計(jì)劃舉行一個(gè)不事張揚(yáng)的婚禮。在一起相處的兩年中，我們經(jīng)歷了一對(duì)情侶在學(xué)著相互了解、理解和尊重時(shí)常常出現(xiàn)的磕磕碰碰。但在這整整兩年間，我們坦誠(chéng)地面對(duì)了彼此性格中的弱點(diǎn)和長(zhǎng)處。

我們之間的種族及文化差異不但增強(qiáng)了我們的關(guān)系，還教會(huì)了我們彼此間要寬容、諒解和開(kāi)誠(chéng)布公。蓋爾有時(shí)不明白為何我和其他黑人如此熱衷于種族問(wèn)題，她好像忘記了美國(guó)社會(huì)中種族仇恨更加微妙的表現(xiàn)形式，這一點(diǎn)令我感到驚訝。

作為一對(duì)居住在美國(guó)、異族通婚的夫妻，我和蓋爾對(duì)未來(lái)不抱絲毫幻想。相互信任和尊重是我們倆永不枯竭的力量源泉。

許多夫妻因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤的理由結(jié)了婚, 結(jié)果在10年、20年或30年后才發(fā)覺(jué)他們?cè)瓉?lái)是合不來(lái)的，他們?cè)诨榍皫缀鯖](méi)有化時(shí)間去了解彼此，他們忽視了嚴(yán)重的性格差異，指望婚姻會(huì)自然而然地解決各種問(wèn)題。我們希望避免重蹈復(fù)轍。下列事實(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)了這樣一點(diǎn)：已經(jīng)結(jié)婚35年的蓋爾父母正經(jīng)歷著一場(chǎng)充滿(mǎn)怨恨、令人痛苦的婚變，這件事給了蓋爾以毀滅性的打擊, 并一度給我們正處于萌芽狀態(tài)的關(guān)系帶來(lái)了負(fù)面的影響。

當(dāng)蓋爾把我們計(jì)劃舉辦婚禮的消息告訴她家人時(shí)，她遇到了一些阻力。她的母親德博拉過(guò)去一直贊成我們的關(guān)系，甚至還開(kāi)過(guò)玩笑，問(wèn)我們打算何時(shí)結(jié)婚，這樣她就可以抱外孫了。但這次聽(tīng)到我們的消息時(shí)，她沒(méi)向我們表示祝賀，相反卻勸蓋爾想想清楚自己的決定是否正確。

“這么說(shuō)我跟他約會(huì)沒(méi)錯(cuò), 但是如果我跟他結(jié)婚，就錯(cuò)了。媽媽?zhuān)遣皇且驗(yàn)樗哪w色？” 蓋爾后來(lái)告訴我她曾這樣問(wèn)她母親。

“首先我必須承認(rèn), 剛開(kāi)始時(shí)我對(duì)異族通婚是有保留的，也許你甚至可以把這稱(chēng)為偏見(jiàn)。但是當(dāng)我見(jiàn)到馬克時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)他是一個(gè)既討人喜歡又聰明的年輕人。任何一個(gè)母親都會(huì)因?yàn)橛羞@樣一個(gè)女婿而感到臉上有光的。所以，這事跟膚色沒(méi)有關(guān)系。是的, 我的朋友們會(huì)有閑話(huà)。有些朋友甚至對(duì)你所做的事表示震驚。但他們是生活在一個(gè)和我們不同的世界里的人。因此要明白，馬克的膚色不是個(gè)問(wèn)題。我最大的擔(dān)心的是你也許跟我當(dāng)初嫁給你爸爸一樣，是因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤的原因而嫁給馬克的。當(dāng)年我和你爸爸相遇時(shí)，我也把他看作是個(gè)可愛(ài)、聰明、討人喜歡和善解人意的人。一切都是多么新鮮、多么令人興奮。而且我們倆人都認(rèn)為-至少在表面上是如此-我們的婚姻是理想婚姻，而且一切跡象都表明是會(huì)天長(zhǎng)地久的。直到后來(lái)我才明白，在我們結(jié)婚時(shí)，我并不十分理解我所愛(ài)的人-你的爸爸?！? “但是我和馬克呆在一起已有2年多了,” 蓋爾抱怨道?！拔覀儌z一起經(jīng)歷了許許多多的事情。我們彼此已很多次看到對(duì)方最糟糕的一面。我可以肯定時(shí)間只會(huì)證明我們是彼此深情相愛(ài)的?！?/p>

“你也許是對(duì)的。但我還是認(rèn)為再等一段時(shí)間有好處。你今年才25歲?！?/p>

蓋爾的父親戴維-我還未見(jiàn)過(guò)他的面-以知女莫若父的態(tài)度來(lái)對(duì)付我們的決定。他問(wèn)的問(wèn)題基本上和蓋爾母親的問(wèn)題相同: “干嗎這么匆忙？這個(gè)馬克是什么人？他是什么公民身份?” 當(dāng)他得知我在公民身份部門(mén)遇到的問(wèn)題時(shí), 就懷疑我是因?yàn)橄肓粼诿绹?guó)而娶他的女兒的。

“不過(guò)爸爸，你這話(huà)講得太難聽(tīng)了,” 蓋爾說(shuō)。

“那么干嗎要這樣著急？拖一段時(shí)間再說(shuō)，拖一段時(shí)間再說(shuō),” 他重復(fù)說(shuō)著。

“馬克以前是有過(guò)公民身份方面的問(wèn)題，但他總是在自己處理這些問(wèn)題,” 蓋爾辯解道。“ 事實(shí)上，當(dāng)我們?cè)谟懻摻Y(jié)婚的時(shí)候，他清楚地表明了這樣一點(diǎn)：如果我對(duì)任何事情有懷疑, 我完全可以取消我們的計(jì)劃?！?/p>

她的父親開(kāi)始引用統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)說(shuō)明異族通婚的夫妻離婚率比同族結(jié)婚的夫妻要高，而且還列舉了接受過(guò)他咨詢(xún)的、在婚姻上有麻煩的異族通婚夫婦的例子。

他問(wèn)道：“你考慮過(guò)你以后的孩子可能會(huì)遭受的苦難嗎？”

“爸，你是個(gè)種族主義分子嗎?”

“不，當(dāng)然不是。但你必須得現(xiàn)實(shí)一點(diǎn)?！?/p>

“也許我們的孩子會(huì)遇到一些問(wèn)題。但誰(shuí)的孩子不會(huì)呢？ 但是有一樣?xùn)|西他們將會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)擁有：我們的愛(ài)和奉獻(xiàn)?！?/p>

“那是一種理想主義的想法。人們對(duì)異族通婚生下的孩子是會(huì)很殘酷的。”

“爸爸，到時(shí)候，我們自己會(huì)操心的。但是假如我們?cè)谧鍪裁词轮?，必須把所有的疑難問(wèn)題全部解決的話(huà)，那么我們幾乎就什么都干不成了?！?/p>

“請(qǐng)記住，回心轉(zhuǎn)意是永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)太遲的。”

UNIT4 到國(guó)外求學(xué)

--------

選擇去美國(guó)完成中學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)的巴西青年所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。

830號(hào)班機(jī)。起飛時(shí)間：晚上十時(shí)四十五分。

乍一看，這不過(guò)是又一架飛往加州洛杉磯市的普通班機(jī)。然而對(duì)于飛機(jī)上的38個(gè)年齡在15到18歲之間的年輕乘客來(lái)說(shuō)，這是一次全新經(jīng)歷的開(kāi)始： 他們將遠(yuǎn)離家人去國(guó)外留學(xué)，度過(guò)他們生命中的10個(gè)月。美國(guó)平均每年要接待78，000名中學(xué)學(xué)歷程度的外國(guó)學(xué)生，其中3，000個(gè)來(lái)自巴西。他們都是因?yàn)橥瑯拥脑蚋懊赖?-學(xué)會(huì)流利的英語(yǔ)、完成中學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)以及盡可能了解有關(guān)美國(guó)生活方式的方方面面。在每個(gè)學(xué)期結(jié)束時(shí)，只要這些學(xué)生能通過(guò)期末考試，美國(guó)當(dāng)局就會(huì)向他們頒發(fā)證書(shū)，巴西是承認(rèn)這種證書(shū)的。

對(duì)大多數(shù)學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，至少要經(jīng)過(guò)6個(gè)月的精心籌劃才能作出到國(guó)外學(xué)習(xí)的決定?！皩?duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，” 17歲的格洛里亞·馬卡托說(shuō): “學(xué)會(huì)講英語(yǔ)及體驗(yàn)這種經(jīng)歷比從美國(guó)政府那里拿到一張證書(shū)更為重要?！?其他人則向往能繼續(xù)上大學(xué)。桑德羅·羅德里戈·德·巴洛斯明確表示: “我想做一名音樂(lè)指揮家，而且我已經(jīng)選擇好了美國(guó)最好的音樂(lè)學(xué)院?！?/p>

正如他們所說(shuō)的那樣，事情并不總是那么順利。甚至那些計(jì)劃在美國(guó)完成兩個(gè)學(xué)期中學(xué)課程的年輕學(xué)生也很難找到接待家庭。很少有學(xué)生在到達(dá)這個(gè)國(guó)家時(shí)，就把一切細(xì)節(jié)都安排妥貼了的。格洛里亞·馬卡托是其中的一個(gè)幸運(yùn)者。在出國(guó)前，她收到了2封信及幾張她的新“父母”的照片。格洛里亞說(shuō): “我認(rèn)為一切都取決于你怎樣回答巴西這邊的海外留學(xué)公司寄給你的問(wèn)卷調(diào)查。舉個(gè)例子說(shuō)吧, 我是不惜紙墨的。我甚至描寫(xiě)了我的四條狗，還說(shuō)我每個(gè)星期天都去做禮拜?！?她達(dá)到了目的。美國(guó)人篤信宗教（絕大多數(shù)美國(guó)人都是基督教徒), 而且寵物在他們心里占有特殊的地位。雖然可以減免一小部分所得稅, 接待海外留學(xué)生的美國(guó)家庭是不向?qū)W生收錢(qián)的。

每個(gè)孩子的個(gè)人用品、娛樂(lè)、長(zhǎng)途電話(huà)及衣服都得自己掏錢(qián)。每個(gè)月的這些費(fèi)用加起來(lái)就要 200 到 300 美元。怕萬(wàn)一生病，每個(gè)學(xué)生都得辦一張醫(yī)療幫助卡。健康保險(xiǎn)不包括艾滋病、人工流產(chǎn)和自殺后的治療，也不支付治療牙齒和配眼鏡的費(fèi)用。

事實(shí)上，大多數(shù)學(xué)生在離家時(shí)，都知道他們將在沒(méi)有原來(lái)所習(xí)慣了的父母照顧的情況下自己生活, 學(xué)會(huì)自己照料自己。然而，他們沒(méi)有人會(huì)獨(dú)自整理行裝。父母?jìng)円恢痹诮o他們出主意，甚至幫他們裝箱打包。這些小青年在做這類(lèi)事的時(shí)候常常顯得缺乏實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)。他們帶了許多不必要的東西。一個(gè)來(lái)自巴西南部的學(xué)生把2個(gè)大箱子塞得滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)的，此外，還得考慮她隨身攜帶的行李。結(jié)果她無(wú)法一個(gè)人帶著這么多東西踏上旅途。

對(duì)許多學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，在機(jī)場(chǎng)與親友告別是他們最難受的時(shí)候。即使朋友們及家人支持他們出國(guó)留學(xué), 但在此時(shí)此刻說(shuō)聲再見(jiàn)卻是很困難的。帕特里夏·卡格利恩說(shuō): “拋下你所愛(ài)的人，特別是男朋友, 是很不容易的。我在飛機(jī)起飛的時(shí)候哭了，到了飛機(jī)上還在哭?！?/p>

學(xué)生們?cè)诘却绹?guó)國(guó)內(nèi)班機(jī)把他們帶到在美國(guó)的臨時(shí)家庭時(shí)又緊張了一陣。從那以后，每個(gè)人都得自己照料自己了。沒(méi)有人真正知道自己該如何去適應(yīng)這新的環(huán)境。雖然大多數(shù)外國(guó)學(xué)生將留在加利福尼亞州，但也有人要被送往德克薩斯、亞利桑那、愛(ài)達(dá)荷、俄克拉荷馬及弗吉尼亞等州去。

幾天以后，普遍的抱怨就是食物了?！半m然我的適應(yīng)能力很強(qiáng)，可我真的很想念米飯和豆類(lèi)菜肴。這里的食物看上去不太有營(yíng)養(yǎng)?！?費(fèi)爾南多·安德雷德哀怨地說(shuō)。大多數(shù)年輕人遇到的另一個(gè)大問(wèn)題，就是他們遠(yuǎn)在他鄉(xiāng)、倍思親人。

留學(xué)計(jì)劃中有一條與時(shí)間有關(guān)的重要規(guī)定，這是由接待家庭的 “父母” 制定的。根據(jù)這條規(guī)定, 這些十幾歲的孩子們?cè)谥苣┩砩媳仨毣丶摇！八麄冋娴暮車(chē)?yán)格吶,” 剛學(xué)完第一學(xué)期的朱莉安娜·馬蒂尼說(shuō)?！澳惚仨氃谕砩鲜c(diǎn)半以前到家。如果做不到,就會(huì)受罰?！?/p>

剛到美國(guó)時(shí), 有些孩子對(duì)英語(yǔ)幾乎一竅不通。在這種情況下，唯一的解決方法就是請(qǐng)私人語(yǔ)言教師。這樣就增加了留學(xué)的費(fèi)用，加上飛機(jī)票，估計(jì)費(fèi)用大約為3,800 美元。

UNIT5 我為女兒抽煙哭泣

--------

我的女兒會(huì)抽煙。她做家庭作業(yè)時(shí)，腳擱在前面的長(zhǎng)凳上，計(jì)算機(jī)嗒嗒地跳出幾何題的答案。我看著那包已抽了一半、她隨意扔在緊靠手邊處的駱駝牌香煙。我拿起香煙，走到廚房里去仔細(xì)察看，那里的光線(xiàn)好一點(diǎn)--謝天謝地，那是有過(guò)濾嘴的?？晌倚睦飬s感到十分難過(guò)。我想哭。事實(shí)上，站在廚房煤氣灶旁邊, 我確實(shí)哭過(guò)。我手里捏著一支雪白雪白的香煙，制作得非常精致。那可是會(huì)致我女兒于死地的東西啊。當(dāng)她抽“萬(wàn)寶路”及“運(yùn)動(dòng)員”牌香煙時(shí)，我硬起心腸, 不讓自己感到難過(guò)。我認(rèn)識(shí)的人當(dāng)中沒(méi)有那個(gè)抽過(guò)這兩種牌子的香煙。

她不知道我父親、也就是她外公生前抽的就是駱駝牌香煙。但是在他開(kāi)始抽機(jī)制卷煙之前--那時(shí)他很年輕、也很窮，但眼睛炯炯有神--他抽的是用阿爾伯特親王牌煙絲自己手工卷制的香煙。我還記得那鮮紅的煙絲罐頭，上面有一張維多利亞女王的丈夫阿爾伯特親王身穿黑色燕尾服、手拿一支手杖的圖片。

到40年代末、50年代初，我的家鄉(xiāng)喬治亞州的伊頓鎮(zhèn)上已沒(méi)有人再自己手工制作卷煙了（而且?guī)缀鯖](méi)有女人抽煙）。煙草業(yè)，再加上好來(lái)塢電影--影 片中的男女主角都是老煙鬼--把像我父親那樣的人完完全全爭(zhēng)取了過(guò)去, 他們無(wú)可救藥地抽煙上了癮。然而我父親看上去從來(lái)就沒(méi)有像阿爾伯特親王那樣時(shí)髦。他還是一個(gè)貧窮、過(guò)于肥胖、為養(yǎng)活一大家人而拼命干活的男人。他渾身漆黑，嘴里卻總叼著一支雪白的香煙。

我記不清父親是什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始咳嗽的, 也許開(kāi)始時(shí)并不明顯, 他早晨一下床點(diǎn)燃第一支香煙時(shí)才有點(diǎn)微咳。到我16歲, 也就是我女兒現(xiàn)在這般年齡時(shí)，他一呼吸就呼哧呼哧的，讓人感到不安；他上樓時(shí)每走三、四級(jí)樓梯就得停下來(lái)休息一會(huì)兒。他常常一連咳上一個(gè)來(lái)小時(shí)。

肺病把我父親折磨得虛弱不堪, 一個(gè)嚴(yán)冬，他死于被叫做“窮人的朋友”的疾病--肺炎。他咳嗽了這么多年，我想他的肺部已沒(méi)有什么完好的地方了。去世前幾年，他的呼吸已經(jīng)很虛弱了，他總得倚靠著某個(gè)東西。我記得有一次全家聚會(huì)，當(dāng)時(shí)我女兒才2歲，他抱了她一會(huì)兒，好讓我有時(shí)間給他倆拍張照片。但是很明顯，他是費(fèi)了好大勁的。他生命行將結(jié)束前, 主要是因?yàn)樗姆喂δ芤褬O度受損，他才戒了煙。戒煙后他的體重增加了幾磅，但當(dāng)時(shí)他太瘦了，所以沒(méi)人注意到這一點(diǎn)。

我到第三世界國(guó)家去旅行時(shí)，看到了許多像我父親和女兒那樣的人。到處都有針對(duì)他們這兩類(lèi)人的巨大廣告牌：強(qiáng)壯、自信或時(shí)髦、年齡較大的男人, 以及漂亮、“世故”的年青女人，都在吞云吐霧。就像在美國(guó)的市中心區(qū)和印第安人的居留地上發(fā)生的事一樣。在這些貧困的國(guó)家里，那些本應(yīng)該化在食物上的錢(qián)卻流進(jìn)了煙草公司。久而久之，人們不但缺少食物，而且還缺少空氣，這樣不但大大地削弱了孩子們的體質(zhì)，還使他們?nèi)旧狭藷煱a，最終還會(huì)致他們于死地。我在報(bào)紙及我訂閱的園藝雜志上看到, 煙蒂的毒性是很強(qiáng)的：一個(gè)嬰兒如果吞下了一個(gè)煙蒂，就很有可能會(huì)死去； 沸水加一把煙蒂就成了很有效的殺蟲(chóng)劑。

作為一個(gè)母親，我感到深深的痛苦。有時(shí)我有一種無(wú)能為力的感覺(jué)。我記得自己懷孕時(shí)，吃東西的時(shí)候是多么當(dāng)心??！之后在教她如何安全穿過(guò)馬路時(shí)，又是多么耐心??！有時(shí)我納悶：自己這樣做到底是為了什么? 難道是為了她今后大半輩子有氣無(wú)力地掙扎著呼吸，然后再像她外公那樣自己把自己毒死？

我特別喜歡一條寫(xiě)在受傷害婦女收容所里的語(yǔ)錄： “人間平安，始于家庭?！?我認(rèn)為世上所有東西都是如此。我還想起了另一條寫(xiě)給那些想戒煙的人們的語(yǔ)錄： “每個(gè)家庭都應(yīng)該是禁煙區(qū)?！?抽煙是一種自我毀滅，而且也毀滅著那些不得不坐在你身邊的人。那些人偶爾也會(huì)取笑或抱怨抽煙，可常常只能無(wú)可奈何地坐在一邊看。我現(xiàn)在意識(shí)到了，當(dāng)我還是一個(gè)孩子時(shí)，許多年中我實(shí)際上是一直坐在旁邊，看著我父親自殺。對(duì)那些生意興隆的煙草公司的巨頭們來(lái)說(shuō)，能在我家取得這樣一種勝利，肯定是夠滿(mǎn)意了。

UNIT6 人如其名

--------

在她人生最初的24年里，人們一直叫她黛比--一個(gè)和她漂亮的容貌和優(yōu)雅的風(fēng)度不相配的名字?！拔业拿掷鲜鞘刮矣X(jué)得自己應(yīng)該是一個(gè)女廚子,” 她抱怨道?！拔艺娴牟幌胍毂冗@個(gè)名字。”

一天，在填寫(xiě)一張申請(qǐng)一個(gè)出版業(yè)工作職位的表格時(shí)，這位小姐一時(shí)沖動(dòng),用她的中名林恩替換了她的名字黛比?！斑@是我一生中干過(guò)的最漂亮的事,”現(xiàn)在她對(duì)人這樣說(shuō)?！拔乙煌Ｖ狗Q(chēng)自己為黛比，我就對(duì)自己感到比較舒坦了……而且其他人也開(kāi)始更認(rèn)真地對(duì)待我了?！?在成功地通過(guò)那次工作面試兩年后，這位昔日的女服務(wù)員現(xiàn)在成了一位成功的雜志編輯。朋友和同事們都叫她林恩。

當(dāng)然, 黛比(或林恩)的職業(yè)成就并不是改名帶來(lái)的，但是它肯定給她帶來(lái)了好處，雖說(shuō)改名僅使她對(duì)自己的才能增加了一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)自信。社會(huì)科學(xué)家認(rèn)為你叫什么名字會(huì)影響你的生活。自古至今，名字不僅被用來(lái)識(shí)別人，而且也被用來(lái)描述人。圣經(jīng)上說(shuō)： “……人如其名 ……”，此外韋伯斯特大詞典也對(duì)名字作了如下的定義： “表達(dá)某種特點(diǎn)的一個(gè)或幾個(gè)字, 這種特點(diǎn)被認(rèn)為反映了某人或某事的本質(zhì)、或描述了某人某事，常表示嘉許或不喜歡的意思?！?請(qǐng)好好注意這幾個(gè)詞：“嘉許或不喜歡?！?不管是好是歹，諸如友好或拘謹(jǐn)，相貌平?；蚱翄趁牡绕焚|(zhì)特征已經(jīng)和你的名字連在了一起，甚至在他人見(jiàn)到你這個(gè)人之前就已經(jīng)知道了你的這些品質(zhì)和特征。

名字已成為特定形象的組成部分, 任何一個(gè)被稱(chēng)為“相貌平常的珍妮”或“普普通通的喬”的人都能證明這一點(diǎn)。后面的那個(gè)名字特別使我煩惱，因?yàn)槲业拿忠步袉?。有些人認(rèn)為這個(gè)名字使我更適合于做一個(gè)棒球運(yùn)動(dòng)員而不是，比如說(shuō)，藝術(shù)評(píng)論家。然而，盡管有此不利，我確實(shí)曾一度努力想成為一名評(píng)論家。即使如此，一家著名雜志一直拒絕把“喬”作為我的文章的作者署名，而是用我名字的首字母 J.S.來(lái)代替它。我懷疑假如我的名字是比較文雅的阿瑟、或艾德里安的話(huà)，我的名字早已完整地出現(xiàn)在雜志上了。

當(dāng)然, 有積極含義的名字對(duì)你是有好處的，甚至能促進(jìn)你結(jié)交新友。最新調(diào)查表明：美國(guó)男人認(rèn)為蘇珊是最有吸引力的女性名字，而女人則認(rèn)為里查德和戴維是男人中最有吸引力的名字。我認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)女人，她拒絕了一次由第三方安排的、與一個(gè)叫哈里的男人的約會(huì)，因?yàn)椤斑@人聽(tīng)上去沒(méi)勁”。可就在幾天后的一個(gè)晚間聚會(huì)上，她走到我身邊，催逼著我把她介紹給一個(gè)給人以深刻印象的男人；他們倆人整個(gè)晚上都在互送秋波?！芭丁保艺f(shuō)“你指的是哈里呀。”她聽(tīng)了后感到很尷尬。

雖然我們中大多數(shù)人會(huì)認(rèn)為自己沒(méi)有這樣的偏見(jiàn)看法，但在某種程度上，我們都有對(duì)名字產(chǎn)生固定看法的毛病。老老實(shí)實(shí)地坦白：你碰到一個(gè)名叫奈杰兒的木匠會(huì)不會(huì)感到驚訝呢？ 或是一個(gè)叫伯撒的物理學(xué)家呢？抑或是一個(gè)叫梅爾的教皇呢？ 正如我的一位女性朋友在照看一批托兒所里的四歲兒童時(shí)所發(fā)現(xiàn)的那樣, 我們常常把由名字引起的固定想法加到他人身上。“在托兒所里,有一次我想叫一個(gè)名字為朱利安的、活躍的小男孩靜靜地坐下來(lái)看書(shū), 同時(shí)把一個(gè)喜歡沉思的、名叫羅里的孩子推出去打球。因?yàn)樗麄兊拿郑野阉麄兊男愿窠o搞混了！”

很明顯，這樣的偏見(jiàn)也會(huì)影響課堂效果的。在一項(xiàng)由圣迭戈州立大學(xué)的赫伯特·哈拉里及喬治亞州立大學(xué)的約翰·麥克戴維主持的研究中，與名叫邁克和戴維的作文卷子相比，教師老是給卷上名字為埃爾默和休伯特的男孩寫(xiě)的文章打較低的分?jǐn)?shù), 實(shí)際這是同樣的兩份卷子。但是教師的偏見(jiàn)不是造成課堂得分差別的唯一原因。坦普爾大學(xué)的托馬斯·V·巴斯博士和路易莎·塞雷達(dá)里恩發(fā)現(xiàn)：那些名叫琳達(dá)、戴安娜、芭芭拉、卡羅爾及辛迪之類(lèi)的女孩們?cè)谠u(píng)分客觀公正的智力測(cè)驗(yàn)和學(xué)業(yè)成績(jī)測(cè)驗(yàn)中的成績(jī)比那些名字不太有吸引力的女孩要好。（一個(gè)與之配套的研究表明：女孩受同齡人歡迎的程度也與她們的名字受歡迎的程度有關(guān)系。雖然對(duì)男孩來(lái)說(shuō)這種關(guān)系不太明顯。）

雖然你父母很可能打算讓你的名字一輩子用下去，但記住, 他們選這個(gè)名字的時(shí)侯，也許還沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)你呢。而且, 當(dāng)他們選擇這個(gè)名字時(shí)，他們所重視的希望和夢(mèng)想也許不符合你的希望和夢(mèng)想。假如你的名字看上去不再跟你相配時(shí)，不要苦惱；你不必一輩子用這個(gè)名字。影星們經(jīng)常改名，而且是懷著某種決心這樣做的，你也可以這樣做。

Unit 1 Section A Love without Limitations

Part One: Objectives

1.To understand the true meaning of ‘love’ and talk about it.2.To read with the skill ‘problem + response + evaluation’.3.To write a composition with the structure ‘problem + response + evaluation’.4.To learn how to scan a passage.Part Two: Warming up 1.What’s your definition of love without limitations?

1)It is a dynamic and powerful energy that …;

2)It is based on an attitude of complete acceptance, which means …;

3)It is usually available in times of ….In the aftermath of the WenChuan earthquake, for example, there was a swell of unlimited love within the Chinese people for the victims.In no time, such love streamed with ever-greater energy into every corner of China, thus leaving the victims with more courage in the combat against the catastrophe.Such love was, if anything, an endless flow of warmth that not only excited every Chinese but shook the world as well.1)It is a dynamic and powerful energy that can spring from the bottom of every human heart and get the world through any of unusual misfortunes.2)It is based on an attitude of complete acceptance, which means you feel as happy and concerned with others as with yourself.3)It is usually available in times of adversity and typical of steep gain in potential energy.2.What kind of person is apt to cherish such love?

It is often remarked that love is born in times of suffering and misery but dead in periods of ease and comfort.So for those who have a great start in life or enjoy a wealth of love and care from their family, life always goes right along, leaving them with nothing to attend to with heart and soul.But for those who suffer one misfortune after another from childhood, life does not stand any chance to blossom without care and love from others, leaving them with much to feel indebted to.Clearly, it is natural for the second kind of person to cherish unlimited love and know what it matters to those in need because that is the case with their life.1)Those who are born with a wealth of love and care from their families, …?

2)Those who suffer a lot of misfortune from childhood, …? 3.What did the speaker’s brother give first priority to?

My brother does not sweat the life he could never have.Instead he focuses on what he can do—to love.For many, if not all of us these days, it is a constant struggle to get somewhere in life.There is just so much to learn, so much is changing every day, that I hardly have time to breathe, let alone love and care about the people around me.My brother though, always makes it his first priority.He never got the chance to go to a regular school or compete for a decent job;unfortunately, he was born with some brain damage making learning a challenge.He never had trouble learning how to love, though.And he knows how to teach others to love as well.New Horizon College English Book Ⅲ

陳超

It is because he often suffered blows from life that he cherished the true love from society and then knew what it meant to love and commit to the well-being of those in trouble.For people like him, therefore, there’s every reason to make love their first priority in life, especially when others are wanting in comfort.As far as we learn from the short passage, lack of oxygen during birth left the speaker’s brother with some brain damage.That permanent disability deprived him of the chance to go to a regular school.His life must have been a mixture of misfortune from life and practical love from people around.My next question is as follows:

1)His misfortune caused by his brain damage?

2)His desire for care from his family members and society around?

3)His love for those who have given him timely help as well as for people in need? 4.What would her brother do in face of great tragedies?

The September 11th terrorist attacks are normally ranked as a national tragedy to the United States.In the wake of the attacks, so great was their impact on Americans that the whole nation, for a long time, was too emotionally exhausted to reckon with the sheer terror as well as with the loss of so many beloved lives.In times of such widespread grief, however, her brother would 1)know well that others were in great need of timely comfort and care, because his life had been blessed with love and care from society;2)make it his first priority to devote his unconditional love to those in need;and 3)believe that boundless love would make a great difference to the way the victims of the disaster felt about their grief.As can be seen from the foregoing, those living in adversity know better the worth of love from others, and in return, they also have a clear idea about what to do when people around are in trouble.My next question is as follows: In the wake of 911, her brother would:

1)Know well from his own experience what others were in great need of, because …?

2)Make it his first priority to …?

3)Believe that boundless love would … ? 5.Look at the following pictures which share the same theme.What is it?

Rose;chocolate;lovers;families 6.Famous Sayings about Love

1)He that has no children knows not what love is.2)We never know the love of the parents until we become parents ourselves.3)Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.4)From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other.Part Three: Related Information 1.September 11th disaster:

It is the result of a series of coordinated suicide attacks by terrorists upon the United States.On the morning of September 11th, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward and extensive damage to nearby buildings.The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon.The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania after passengers and New Horizon College English Book Ⅲ

members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane.Excluding the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died as an immediate result of the attacks with another 24 missing and presumed dead.The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including citizens from over 90 different countries.2.Why is calamity liable to give birth to love without limitations?

Beilby Porteus, Bishop of London, once remarked, ‘Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves.’ So it is, because, in time of peace, most of us are too preoccupied with aspirations for fame and wealth to examine ourselves.As a gradual result, Americans born in the 1970s are often referred to as megeneration, or soulless slaves to consumerism who care little about bigger issues of politics, social justice or poverty.Bertran Rusell, a famous British philosopher, once concluded from his many years of observation in China that the Chinese nation was wanting in passion for humanity.For the sense of gratitude to come back into us, therefore, there must come a time when we have to reflect on what has made all of our well-being possible.So the best point of time is bound up with the outbreak of a calamity, which can serve as a mirror for us to realize that what we are often concerned with means nothing without the existence of the nation as a whole.That is why there was an outpouring of patriotism among Americans in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, whereas there was an explosion of boundless love within the Chinese people in response to the rare earthquake in WenChuan.3.How to integrate such unlimited love into our daily life?

It is no easy job to work such love well into our daily routine for good, since, as is taken for granted, where there is love there is always expectation.But for the very virtue to last in our life, the first and foremost thing to do is never fail to set aside the time to introspect what social factors contribute to our well-being and comfort, thus building up our awareness of gratitude to our society.Just as Cicero once put it, a thankful heart is not only the great virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues as well.Also important is our clear identification of what we can do to add to our social unity, harmony and better-being, especially if we are in better positions to do so.Once the foregoing is achieved, what matters most to us next is how to put our duties into effect.If we can reconcile our action with our gratitude, the returns from that will be in greater measure.If we exercise kindness in our social contact, for example, we will reap more of smile from society.If we exert true concern for those around, we are sure to harvest more help from them.And if we render unlimited love to the world, we are more than likely to find such love knows no bounds.Part Four: Text Understanding

I.Idea Catching The Birth of the Text

Factor I: Brain damage during birth deprived Jimmy of the ability to live like others.Factor II: True love from people around kept his life rich with warmth.Factor III: In the wake of Sept.11th disaster, he gave boundless love to those in need.Author: Impressed with her brother’s love, she had an urge to write it out.New Horizon College English Book Ⅲ

II.Structure Analysis 1.What is the text mainly about?

With her lifetime experience, the author tells us there have never been any limitations to love whatever life may present.2.How is the text organized?

The author tackled the topic by organizing it into three patterns of ‘problem-response-evaluation’，i.e.the text begins with the problem concerned;then people involved respond to it with diverse actions;and the text ends up with evaluations of people’s responses.Pattern I Main idea: Problem: Lack of oxygen at birth left my brother with brain damage.Response: My family offered help and care to him in diverse ways.Evaluation: My father and Jimmy enjoyed each other’s company.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Para.3)

General Statement: My father and Jimmy were inseparable.Specific Details: They ate and worked together …, At night they played games …whistled the same tune.Pattern II Main idea: Problem: The death of my parents turned Jimmy into a wreck.Response: I helped Jimmy adjust to a life without parents.Evaluation: My care for him enabled his life to thrive and enriched my life

as well.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Para.4)General Statement: After my father’s death, Jimmy was a wreck.Specific Details: Jimmy was in disbelief… he grasped that the world he’d known was gone.Pattern III Main idea: Problem: The Sept.11th disaster drained Americans of every emotion.Response: I tried to make Jimmy happy at his birth-day party but he

reacted to my effort actively.Evaluation: Instead of cheering him, we were encouraged by his love.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Paras.8, 9, 10, 11)General Statement: Jimmy’s love hit home after the Sept.11th disaster.Specific Details: Detailed narrative of holding a birthday party for Jimmy.Conclusion Main idea: The constant love and support from our friends and family could get us through whatever life might present.There had never been any limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.W.T.: Induction:(Para.12)

Known facts: 1)My father’s death changed Jimmy’s world;2)Sept.11th changed ours;3)We sang for Jimmy and prayed for peace;4)We were reminded of constant love.Conclusion: There had been no limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.Part Five: Notes To The Text

The population explosion of urban areas

(Problem)The population explosion of urban areas has given rise to a lot of problems such as sprawling slums and regular failures of electric and water services because of the excessive demands.In addition, the urban areas suffer extensive unemployment and strained educational and recreational facilities.The population explosion of urban areas must be corrected.(Response)One of the ways to correct the population explosion of urban areas is to improve the facilities in rural areas.Adequate parking facilities, attractive and well-stocked department and food stores, drug stores, gift shops and bakeries should be built in rural areas to convince more people living there to stay where they are.The government should offer lower tax rates and modest homes on convenient terms to those who choose to live in the rural areas.(Evaluation)If rural areas were built to have all the facilities that urban areas do, the population explosion in urban areas can be corrected.Writing Practice Directions: Write a composition of no less than 120 words with a problem-response-evaluation structure on the following topic.You can follow the detailed outline given as follows.Topic: The fight against air pollution Problem: The region has been seriously polluted by harmful smog.Response: close down/modernize some factories

The fight against air pollution

(Problem)The region has been seriously polluted by harmful smog, which proves to be the cause of many illnesses and for the climbing death rate.As a result, people have started to move out of the area.(Response)In response to the problem, the local government has decided to fight against air pollution.It has closed down several factories, which were considered to be the major cause of the pollution.Many power plants have been modernized to give off less pollution and also moved further away from people’s homes so as to decrease the damage.At the same time, the local government has decided to plant trees in and around the region because trees can absorb some of the pollution.(Evaluation)People welcome all the measures taken by the government.Consequently, more and more people have begun to move back to the region to take part in this battle for a clean environment.Writing Assignment

Love Without Bounds

At 2:28 p.m., May 12th, 2008, a severe earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan, an area of Sichuan, leaving the place with ruins everywhere.As an immediate result of that, around 69,000 people died, with another 18,000 missing, over 370,000 injured, and 5,000,000 survivors homeless.Accompanying the arrival of disaster was a sheer paralysis of electricity, water works, telecommunications and transportation.Usually accessible to tourism for its scenic beauty, the area was now completely secluded from the outside world.(Problem)

Faced with such a devastating disaster, the Chinese Communists held China together with their role models, and called upon the whole dropped relief supplies for the victims.Besides, medical workers from different parts of the country and the world flocked to the epicenter in good time to offer first aid to the injured and the sick.Unable to go there in person, most of us were in charge of rear services, for which some made tents, medicine, food, etc.day and night, and every one of us vied with one another to donate money and blood.In fact, effecting the rescue of the victims who remain as firm and appreciate our efforts as much as those in Sichuan do has refined our love more than anything else ever could have.(Response)

With the disaster relief drive being in full swing and with the live reports on it dominating the headlines of all mass media, we were reminded that sweeping across the entire China was an ever-greater flow of love that could get our nation through whatever life could present.There would be no bounds to what such love could accomplish.(Evaluation)
