Unit 3

Why I Chose to Attend College

As my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college.At times I did have some

doubts.After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile.My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning.While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further.I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development.I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations.Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person.A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training.Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position.As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.Unit 4

In a recent poll taken by “the Herald of the Town”, 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people.And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups.Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments.38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively.Job training for young

people was chosen as the best way to reduce crime(63 percent).After that, in order of

percentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols(23 percent), more police on foot(10 percent)and the death penalty(4 percent).Unit 5

It was Mother's Day.Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion.Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year.The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue.The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find.By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark.And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.Unit6

One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised.“What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?” the father asked.“Steve, the big boy on Quail Street...” the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger.In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists.Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face.Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground.However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too.Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away.Peter had to walk home completely defeated.Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.Unit 7

Dear Pearl,Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days.She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock.Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation.I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again.Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again.Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come.But thank you so much for your kind invitation.Sincerely,Pearl

Unit 8

How to Attain Our Goals in Life

As a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life.To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower.Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success.Take Peter G.Beidler for example.Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession.Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep.His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983.Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life.Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it.The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point.She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life.Instead, she persisted in improving herself.In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper.Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.

《誠信與和諧》

廣義上的和諧社會(huì)建設(shè)是指經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、文化、社會(huì)四個(gè)方面協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展、良性運(yùn)行。狹義上的和諧社會(huì)建設(shè)主要是指社會(huì)關(guān)系的和諧。無論是廣義上的和諧社會(huì)建設(shè)還是狹義上的和諧社會(huì)建設(shè)，誠信都是各種經(jīng)濟(jì)、政治、社會(huì)關(guān)系協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展、良性運(yùn)行的基礎(chǔ)。對(duì)社會(huì)成員來講，它是構(gòu)建和諧人際關(guān)系的基本素質(zhì)；對(duì)全社會(huì)來講，它是社會(huì)良性運(yùn)行的價(jià)值取向；對(duì)市場(chǎng)來講，誠信是規(guī)范經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序、建立市場(chǎng)信用制度的道德保障；對(duì)政府來講，誠信是實(shí)現(xiàn)執(zhí)政為民、立黨為公的有效途徑。

一、誠信是社會(huì)人際關(guān)系和諧的重要準(zhǔn)則

人際關(guān)系的和諧是和諧社會(huì)建設(shè)的重要內(nèi)容。誠信友愛是人際關(guān)系和各種社會(huì)關(guān)系和諧的靈魂。中國的傳統(tǒng)文化充分重視誠信在人際關(guān)系中的價(jià)值。誠信，包括兩方面的含義，“誠”即真實(shí)不欺，既不自欺，也不欺人。朱熹云：“誠者何？不自欺，不忘之謂也”，“誠意，只是表里如一”。一個(gè)人只有做到表里如一，以誠相待，才能達(dá)到人內(nèi)心的和諧和人際關(guān)系的和諧。否則，欺名盜世，自欺欺人，會(huì)導(dǎo)致個(gè)人內(nèi)心的失調(diào)和人格的分裂，人際關(guān)系緊張，失去友情，成為孤家寡人?！靶拧保饕冈谂c他人交往中應(yīng)講信用，遵守諾言?？鬃訕O為重信，他強(qiáng)調(diào)做人要“言必信，信必果”、“與朋友交，言而有信”、“言而無信，不知其可也“。人若不講信用，就無法做人行事。在誠與信的關(guān)系中，誠是信產(chǎn)生的基礎(chǔ)和原因，自己以誠待人，必然獲得他人的信任。同時(shí)，信是誠的具體表現(xiàn)，信體現(xiàn)誠。在社會(huì)中生活，只有將自己的真實(shí)展示給他人，才能夠嬴得他人的信任，才能夠彼此信任。人們彼此信任才能夠真誠地進(jìn)行合作。個(gè)人在人際交往中講誠信，就會(huì)形成人際關(guān)系的良性循環(huán)，正如管仲云：“信也者，民信之”。然而，當(dāng)前我國社會(huì)個(gè)人的誠信缺位表現(xiàn)在：借錢不還、偽造學(xué)歷和文憑、偽造票據(jù)和證件，剽竊他人學(xué)術(shù)成果，欺詐他人以謀取私利等等，這將影響人與人之間關(guān)系的和諧，影響社會(huì)公平的實(shí)現(xiàn)。因此，在全社會(huì)中，加強(qiáng)誠實(shí)守信的公民道德教育，是構(gòu)建和諧社會(huì)的重要內(nèi)容。因?yàn)槿穗H信任能增強(qiáng)全社會(huì)的凝聚力，促進(jìn)社會(huì)關(guān)系的和諧，保障社會(huì)的長(zhǎng)治久安。

二、誠信是建立市場(chǎng)信用制度的道德保障

誠信一直是我國社會(huì)所推崇的優(yōu)良品格之一，在當(dāng)代，我們賦予誠信以更多的經(jīng)濟(jì)性的內(nèi)容。因?yàn)?，市?chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)條件下,誠信既是道德資源, 又是經(jīng)濟(jì)資源。隨著社會(huì)分工的細(xì)化和交換方式的發(fā)展,誠信也從道德追求進(jìn)入到物質(zhì)生活領(lǐng)域。也就是說，誠信社會(huì)的形成，其中極為重要的一方面是誠信經(jīng)濟(jì)的形成。所謂誠信經(jīng)濟(jì)是指誠信作為一種資本（即信用資本）來參與市場(chǎng)運(yùn)作的經(jīng)濟(jì)，當(dāng)誠信資本能成功地實(shí)現(xiàn)其價(jià)值增殖時(shí)，誠信經(jīng)濟(jì)即告產(chǎn)生。這種誠信理念推動(dòng)了經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和社會(huì)進(jìn)步。

我國社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的建立加快了我國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的速度和激發(fā)了人們走向富裕的動(dòng)力，但是另一方面經(jīng)濟(jì)主體的利益的多元化現(xiàn)象也日趨復(fù)雜，這些經(jīng)濟(jì)利益主體，在市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)體制下，無論是企業(yè)，還是個(gè)人，很顯然他們從事經(jīng)濟(jì)活動(dòng)的根本目的，就是盡可能多地獲取經(jīng)濟(jì)上的利益。因此，導(dǎo)致物質(zhì)主義、拜金主義在一定程度的盛行，人際互信互助的關(guān)系淡化，利益關(guān)系凸現(xiàn)，由此造成誠信問題，一些欺詐失信的行為時(shí)有發(fā)生，其主要表現(xiàn)為：企業(yè)產(chǎn)品的假冒偽劣、摻雜使假、坑蒙拐騙、偷稅漏稅、三角債糾紛、財(cái)務(wù)假賬、偽造票據(jù)、金融詐騙、虛假廣告、假煙、假酒、假藥、假化肥、假種子、假幣、有毒大米、黑心棉等等。這類似于資本主義原始積累時(shí)期曾經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過的狀況，嚴(yán)重?cái)_亂正常經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序、損害了社會(huì)公

平和社會(huì)信任，使社會(huì)矛盾和社會(huì)沖突滋生。破壞了信用關(guān)系, 就會(huì)動(dòng)搖市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的基礎(chǔ), 就會(huì)帶來經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序的混亂。

誠信，就其作為社會(huì)的道德規(guī)范和個(gè)人的道德品質(zhì)而言，既是整個(gè)社會(huì)的信用制度對(duì)個(gè)人的道德要求的反映，也是社會(huì)信用制度在個(gè)人身上個(gè)性化的發(fā)展，每個(gè)社會(huì)成員的誠信品質(zhì)，組成了社會(huì)信用制度的道德保障。講誠信則促進(jìn)市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，失信則自然會(huì)阻礙市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。信用一旦發(fā)生危機(jī)，不僅會(huì)導(dǎo)致整個(gè)經(jīng)濟(jì)體系出現(xiàn)危機(jī)，而且嚴(yán)重影響社會(huì)主義和諧社會(huì)的建設(shè)。只有市場(chǎng)主體都能自覺維護(hù)其信用制度，才能保證信用關(guān)系的穩(wěn)定性，減少信用風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。在此意義上可以說沒有誠信原則就沒有市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序，就沒有市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)效益，也就沒有市場(chǎng)經(jīng)轉(zhuǎn)載請(qǐng)注明出處，謝謝！

第四篇：現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀

對(duì)《大學(xué)英語精讀》教材進(jìn)行評(píng)價(jià)

《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》是我們大家熟悉的一本教材。精讀課，也就是我們上的基礎(chǔ)英語課，是高校英語專業(yè)基礎(chǔ)階段的一門核心課程，是幫助學(xué)生掌握聽、說、讀、寫、譯等基本語言技能的基礎(chǔ)課。精讀教材主要是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的語用能力，使學(xué)生能夠從書中有所感悟，把所學(xué)到的語言知識(shí)與生活實(shí)際結(jié)合起來，使學(xué)習(xí)過程生活化。該教材還能培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語思維能力和創(chuàng)新能力，而不是使學(xué)生拘泥于書本知識(shí)，主要的教學(xué)任務(wù)不是積累知識(shí)，而是開發(fā)學(xué)生的思維，該教材秉著以學(xué)生為中心的教學(xué)思想，教材的選材非常廣泛,符合學(xué)生興趣，是一本符合當(dāng)代大學(xué)生的優(yōu)秀教材。

一本好的教材有以下幾點(diǎn)特征；(1)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容和語言能夠反映快速變化的時(shí)代(2)、要處理好專業(yè)知識(shí)，語言訓(xùn)練和相關(guān)學(xué)科之間的關(guān)系(3)、教材不僅著眼于知識(shí)的傳授而要有助于學(xué)生的鑒賞批評(píng)能力、思維能力和創(chuàng)新能力的培養(yǎng)(4)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容要有較強(qiáng)的實(shí)用性和針對(duì)性。而《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材充分表現(xiàn)出一本好的教材的特點(diǎn)，在英語教學(xué)中起著積極的作用，主要表現(xiàn)在以下幾個(gè)方面。

1、教材具有權(quán)威性。教材的權(quán)威性主要在于它努力體現(xiàn)新大綱的要求，任何教材的編寫都要相對(duì)應(yīng)的教學(xué)大綱作指導(dǎo)，而衡量教材的好壞的一個(gè)重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)就是看他是否符合大綱的具體要求。大學(xué)英語精讀教材是根據(jù)國家或地方教育部門頒發(fā)的教學(xué)大綱或課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)編寫的，能夠較好的體現(xiàn)教學(xué)大綱或課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)定的教學(xué)目的、教學(xué)目標(biāo)、教學(xué)內(nèi)容以及教學(xué)方法，所以大學(xué)英語精讀教材完全符合大綱中有關(guān)教材的規(guī)定，有利于教學(xué)大綱和課程標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的有效實(shí)施。教材的權(quán)威性還取決于編寫人員的能力和素質(zhì)。現(xiàn)代《 現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材是北京外國語大學(xué)多名教授共同研究而成，這些教授具有豐富的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和深厚的語言功底，而且教材有國內(nèi)著名的外語出版社出版，還是普通高等教育“十五”國家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材。所以，現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀教材在一定程度上能夠保證教學(xué)內(nèi)容、教學(xué)過程和教學(xué)方法的科學(xué)性和合理性，從而保證教學(xué)質(zhì)量和教學(xué)效果。

2、教材具有系統(tǒng)性。從整體上看，教材體系完整，內(nèi)容豐富，有利于學(xué)生系統(tǒng)的學(xué)習(xí)語音、詞匯、語法等語言知識(shí)；材內(nèi)容從易到難，是一個(gè)逐步推進(jìn)的過程。第一年的教材主要任務(wù)是鞏固高中所學(xué)的內(nèi)容，這主要是考慮到大學(xué)新生需要時(shí)間來克服高中階段應(yīng)試教學(xué)的影響，要盡快幫助他們熟悉大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)方法，養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，糾正他們的語音語調(diào)，鼓勵(lì)他們克服漢語方言對(duì)應(yīng)于發(fā)音的負(fù)面影響，同時(shí)，要讓學(xué)生意識(shí)到學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的關(guān)鍵是運(yùn)用，而不是為了做題。第二年的教材，主要是知識(shí)積累，要運(yùn)用各種方法擴(kuò)大詞匯量，提高對(duì)語法的掌握和運(yùn)用能力，還要加強(qiáng)寫作和翻譯的訓(xùn)練，因?yàn)檫@兩種技能需要從實(shí)踐中得到提高，而不是拘泥于書本知識(shí)，第三年的教材主要是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的閱讀水平，學(xué)生能夠獨(dú)立完成一個(gè)章節(jié)的閱讀，教材增加了閱讀的難度，這樣有助于提高學(xué)生的閱讀水平，第四年的精讀教材主要是使學(xué)生的聽、說、讀、寫、譯這五種能力得到全面的培養(yǎng)，是學(xué)生對(duì)這幾種基本技能同時(shí)得到訓(xùn)練。

3、教材選文具有多樣性?！冬F(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材克服了傳統(tǒng)教學(xué)理念的缺陷，教材編寫體現(xiàn)了以應(yīng)用為本，聽、說、讀、寫、譯等多位一體的教材設(shè)計(jì)理念，把提高學(xué)生綜合運(yùn)用能力放在首位。該系類教材的指導(dǎo)思想就是在課堂上創(chuàng)造一個(gè)真實(shí)的語言教學(xué)環(huán)境，使學(xué)生得各種語言技能得到充分的訓(xùn)練。教材中覆蓋的詞匯量超過大學(xué)英語四六級(jí)的水平，在教材的使用中學(xué)生強(qiáng)化了對(duì)單詞的復(fù)現(xiàn)率，該教材詞匯豐富，詞匯重復(fù)出現(xiàn)有助于強(qiáng)化記憶。閱讀理解的任務(wù)活動(dòng)可以幫助學(xué)生檢測(cè)和深化對(duì)課文的理解，掌握各種閱讀技巧。在每一章節(jié)的聯(lián)系中還涉及了漢譯英和英譯漢的翻譯練習(xí)，這樣有助于訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的翻譯能力。而且，教材中選取的文章題材多樣，風(fēng)格各異，內(nèi)容豐富，涉及了政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化語言、科技、體育、風(fēng)俗人情等各方面。所以，該教材有利于學(xué)生更好地了解世界文化，培養(yǎng)跨文化意識(shí)和跨文化交際的能力。

總體來說，《現(xiàn)代大學(xué)英語精讀》教材合理的教學(xué)布局，能夠使學(xué)生的綜合能力得到全面的培養(yǎng),聽、說、讀、寫、譯等各項(xiàng)語言技能在教材中得到了綜合呈現(xiàn),該教材注重語言技能的培養(yǎng)、注重學(xué)生獨(dú)立學(xué)習(xí)能力的提高。但教材中也有一些不足之處，比如關(guān)于綜合技能的整體訓(xùn)練,以及學(xué)習(xí)技能和學(xué)習(xí)策略的建議有些不足。但整體上該教材是目前最適合大學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)的一本優(yōu)秀教材。
