Unit 1
How to Study
There is a lot of misunderstanding about studying. Most students have not been taught the principles behind really effective working. Imagine a graph showing the amount a person learns against the number of hours he works in a day. If he doesn't do any work, he learns nothing (point 0). If he does an hour 's work he learns a certain amount (point 1). If he does two hours' work he learns about twice as much (point 2). If he does more work he'll learn still more (point 3). However, if he tries to do twenty-three and a half hours' work in one day, he'll be so tired that he'll hardly remember anything: what he learns will be very little (point 4). If he did less work he 'd learn more (point 5).
Now whatever the exact shape of the graph 's curve, made by joining these points, it must have a high point. Point "X" is the very maximum anyone can learn in the day. And this represents the optimum, the best, amount of work to do. It is the best possible compromise between adequate time at the books and fatigue. Fatigue is an absolutely real thing; one can't escape it or ignore it. If you try to ignore it and press yourself to work past the optimum, you will only get on this downward slope and achieve less than the best—and then become very tired and lose your power of concentration.
The skill in being a student consists of getting one 's daily study as near the optimum point as possible. I cannot tell you what the optimum is. It differs with the type of work, it differs from person to person, and even in the same person it varies from week to week. You must try to find your own. Every day you study, bear this principle of the optimum in mind. When you feel yourself getting fatigued, if you find yourself reading the same paragraph over and over again and not taking it in, that's a pretty good sign you 've reached your highest point for the day and should stop. Most ordinary students find their optimum at about five hours a day. Yours may be a little more or a little less—but if you get in five hours' good work a day, you will be doing well.
Now, what are you doing with yourself when you aren't working? Before examinations some students do nothing at all except sit in a chair and worry. Here is another misunderstanding. People often think that the mind works like the body; it does not. If one wanted to save one 's physical energy in order to cut the maximum amount of firewood, one would lie flat on a bed and rest when one wasn't chopping. But the mind cannot rest. Even in sleep you dream, even if you forget your dreams. The mind is always turning. It gets its relaxation only by variety. That is what makes the mind rest.
When you 've finished your optimum number of hours you must stop. You must not then sit around in the chair thinking about the work—that only tires without any learning. You must get out and do something. It doesn't matter what—anything so long as you are actively doing something else but work.
有一个关于学习有许多误解。大多数学生都没有真正有效的背后教工作的原则。想象一下，
一个图表显示的数额一人对他的小时数在一天工作学习。如果他没有做任何工作，他学习什么（点0）。如果他没有一小时的工作，他学到一定数额（第1点）。如果他做了两小时的工作，他知道了两倍多（2点）。
如果他做更多的工作，他将学习更多的（3点）。不过，如果他试图做23个半小时的工作，有一天，他会因为太累了，他会很难记住任何东西：他学习将是非常小（4点）。如果他这样做较少的工作，他倒是学到更多（5点）。
现在，无论在图形的曲线精确形状，由这些点连接了，它必须有一个高点。点“X”是任何人都可以学习很最高的一天。这代表了最佳，最好的，要做大量的工作。这是最好的可能的妥协之间有充分的时间在书籍和疲劳。疲劳是绝对真实的东西，一个无法逃避它或忽略它。如果你试图忽略它，然后按自己过去工作的最佳，也只获得这个走下坡路，实现比最好的，然后变得非常疲倦，失去你的集中力不足。
在当学生的技能获得一个'S作为由尽可能接近最佳点的日常学习。我不能告诉你什么是最佳的。它与不同类型的工作，它不同于他人的人，即使在同一人有异，从一周到一周。你必须努力去发现你自己的。每天你学习，牢记这个优化的原则。当你觉得自己越来越疲惫，如果你发现自己阅读同一段一遍又一遍，不肯接受它，这是一个非常好的迹象你'维生素E达到了当天的最高点，应该停止。最普通的学生发现在大约5个小时，每天的优化。你可能会多一点还是少一点，但如果你在5个小时的工作，取得良好的一天，你会做得很好。
现在，什么是你自己做时，你不工作吗？一些学生考试前什么也不做，除了坐在椅子上和担心。这里是另一个误解。人们往往认为，思想就如同身体的工程，它不是。如果有人想挽救一个人的身体能量，以减少对木柴的最高限额，一会平躺在床上休息时，一不砍。但头脑不能休息。即使在睡觉你的梦想，即使你忘了你的梦想。心是永远转动。它以品种，仅得到了缓和。这就是使身心得到休息。
当你已经做完你的时间的最佳数目你必须停止。你不能再坐在椅子上的思考的工作，没有任何学习的唯一轮胎。你一定要出来做一点事。这并不重要，任何事情只要你干点别的什么，但积极的工作。
Learning to Keep You Cool During Tests
Have you ever felt so anxious during an examination that you couldn't even put down the answers you knew? If so, you were suffering from what is known as test anxiety.
According to psychologist Ralph Trimble, test anxiety is a very real problem for many people. When you 're worried over your performance on an exam, your heart beats faster and your pulse speeds up. These reactions start others: You may sweat more than normal or suffer from a stomachache or headache. Your field of vision narrows and becomes tunnel-like. Before you know it, you 're having difficulty focusing.
"What I hear students say over and over again," says Dr. Trimble, who is working at the Psychological and Counseling Center at the University of Illinois, "is, 'My mind went blank.'"
For a number of years, Dr. Trimble helped many students learn how to perform better during exams and to bring up their grades. Some of these students were interested in sharing what they learned and, with Trimble 's help, began holding workshops on overcoming test anxiety. For many students, just being in a workshop with other sufferers made them feel better. They realized that they were not the only ones who had done poorly on tests because of tension.
The workshops were so successful that they are still given.
In the workshops, students are taught that anxiety is normal. You just have to prevent it from getting the best of you. The first step is to learn to relax. If before or during an examination you start to panic, stretch as hard as you can, tensing the muscles in your arms and legs; then suddenly relax all of them.
This will help relieve tension. But keep in mind that you don't want to be too relaxed. Being completely relaxed is no better than being too tense. "If you are so calm you don't care how you do on an examination, you won't do well," Trimble says. "There is an optimum level of concern when you perform at your best. Some stress helps. There are people who can't take even slight stress. They have to learn that in a challenging situation, being anxiously excited is good and will help them to do better. But if they call it anxiety and say, 'It's going to hit me again,' that will make them nervous and worried."
As a student you must also realize that if you leave too much studying until a day or two before the examination, you can't do the impossible and learn it all. Instead, concentrate on what you can do and try to think what questions are likely to be asked and what you can do in the time left for studying.
When you sit down to study, set a moderate pace and vary it by reading, writing notes, and going over any papers you have already written for the course, as well as the textbooks and notes you took in class. Review what you know. Take breaks and go to sleep early enough to get a good night 's rest before the exam. You should also eat a moderate breakfast or lunch, avoiding drinks like coffee and stay away from fellow students who get tense. Panic spreads easily.
Get to the exam room a few minutes early so that you will have a chance to familiarize yourself with the surroundings and get out your supplies. When the examination is handed out, read the directions twice and underline the significant instructions, making sure you understand them. Ask the teacher to explain if you don't. First answer the easiest questions, then go back to the more difficult.
On essay questions, instead of starting right away, take a few minutes to organize your thoughts, make a brief outline, and then start off with a summary sentence. Keep working steadily, and even when time starts to run out, don't speed up.
你们可曾想过在一个考试，你甚至不能放下手中的答案你知道这样紧张？如果是这样，你的痛苦，什么是已知的考试焦虑。
据心理学家拉尔夫特林布尔，考试焦虑是对许多人来说是非常现实的问题。当你'再对你的考试成绩担心，你的心跳加速，脉搏加快。这些反应开始别人：你可能出汗多正常或患有胃痛或头痛。您的视野变窄，成为隧道等。你知道它之前，你'再有困难的重点。
“我听到学生说一遍又一遍，”博士说特林布尔，谁是在心理与咨商在美国伊利诺斯大学的中心工作，“是，'我的脑子里一片空白。”
对于一些年来，博士特林布尔帮助了很多学生学习过程中如何更好地履行考试和造就他们的成绩。这些人在分享他们的经验和与Trimble的帮助下，一些有兴趣的学生，开始举办讲习班上克服考试焦虑。对于很多学生来说，只是在与其他患者车间正在使他们感觉更好。他们意识到，他们不是谁做了，因为紧张的测试，只有不好的。
这些讲习班是如此成功，他们仍然获得。
在工作坊中，学生告诉我们，焦虑是正常的。你一定要阻止你得到最好的。第一步是要学会
放松。
如果在考试之前或您开始恐慌，拉伸和你们一样硬可以，绷紧的手臂和腿部的肌肉，然后突然放松他们。
这将有助于缓解紧张局势。但是要记住，你不想过于宽松。他们完全放松，没有更好的比过于紧张。“如果你是如此平静你不关心你如何做一个检查，你不会做得很好，”特林布尔说。“有一个令人关注的最佳水平，当您在您的最佳演出。减压有些压力帮助。有些人谁也不能稍有压力。他们必须知道，在一个充满挑战的情况下，正在焦急地兴奋是一件好事，将帮助他们做得更好。但如果他们称之为焦虑地说，'这将再次打我，'这将令他们紧张和忧虑。“
作为一个学生，你还必须认识到，如果你离开太多，直到考试前一天或两个学习，你不能这样做不可能，学习一切。相反，你可以专注于做去想想有什么问题可能要问，哪些是你可以在左侧的学习时间。
当你坐下来学习，设置一个温和的步伐，改变它通过读，写笔记，并准备在任何你已经写论文的过程，以及课本和笔记你在课堂上宣读。回顾一下你知道。以休息和睡觉及早得到一夜好考试前的休息。你也应该吃早餐或午餐适中，避免像咖啡饮料，远离同学谁紧张了。传播很容易恐慌。
到达考场提早几分钟，这样您将有机会了解自己和周围的环境得到了你的供应。当检查发放，阅读的方向，并强调了两次重要指示，确保你理解他们。请老师解释，如果你不知道。首先回答最简单的问题，然后再返回到更困难。
关于论文的问题，而不是马上开始，花几分钟时间来组织你的思想，作简短的提纲，然后启动一个摘要句子了。保持工作稳定，甚至开始时，时间用完了，也不会加快。
Paying Your Way
There were red faces at one of Britain 's biggest banks recently. They had accepted a telephone order to buy? 100,000 worth of shares from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy (they thought he was twenty-one). The shares fell in value and the schoolboy was unable to pay up. The bank lost ￡ 20,000 on the deal which it cannot get back because, for one thing, this young speculator does not have the money and, for another, being under eighteen, he is not legally liable for his debts. If the shares had risen in value by the same amount that they fell, he would have pocketed ￡ 20,000 profit. Not bad for a fifteen-year-old. It certainly is better than delivering the morning newspaper. In another recent case, a boy of fourteen found, in his grandmother 's house, a suitcase full of foreign banknotes. The clean, crisp, banknotes looked very convincing but they were now not used in their country of origin or anywhere else. This young boy headed straight to the nearest bank with his pockets filled with notes. The cashiers did not realise that the country in question had reduced the value of its currency by 90 %. They exchanged the notes at their face value at the current exchange rate. In three days, before he was found out, he took ￡ 200,000 from nine different banks. Amazingly, he had already spent more than half of this on taxi-rides, restaurant meals, concert tickets and presents for his many new girlfriends (at least he was generous!) before the police caught up with him. Because he is also under eighteen the banks have kissed goodbye to a lot of money, and several cashiers have lost their jobs.
Should we admire these youngsters for being enterprising and showing initiative or condemn them for their dishonesty? Maybe they had managed for years with tiny amounts of pocket money that they got from tight-fisted parents. Maybe they had done Saturday jobs for
peanuts. It is hardly surprising, given the expensive things that young people want to buy, such as fashionable running shoes and computer games, if they sometimes think up more imaginative ways of making money than delivering newspapers and baby-sitting. These lads saw the chance to make a lot of money and took it.
Another recent story which should give us food for thought is the case of the man who paid his six-year-old daughter ￡ 300 a week pocket money. He then charged her for the food she ate and for her share of the rent and household bills. After paying for all this, she was left with a few coins for her piggy bank. "She will soon learn the value of money," he said. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Everything has to be paid for and the sooner she learns that the better." At the other extreme there are fond parents who provide free bed and board for their grown-up children. While even the most hard-hearted parents might hesitate to throw their children out on the streets, we all know of people in their late twenties who still shamelessly live off their parents. Surely there comes a time when everyone has to leave the parental nest, look after themselves and pay their own way in life. But when is it?
有红色的面孔在英国最大的银行之一最近。他们接受了电话订购买？10万美元的股票从一个15岁的小学生（他们以为他是21）。的股票价值下跌和小学生无法付款。该银行损失了交易，是因为它不能获得，一方面是回2万英镑，这个年轻的投机者没有钱，另一个，未满18岁的存在，他不是法律上为他的债务承担责任。如果股票价值已经上升了相同数额，他们摔倒，他将有2万英镑的利润中饱私囊。不坏的一个15岁。这当然是比早晨的报纸提供更好的。在最近的另一个例子，一个十四岁的男孩在他的祖母，家，一个手提箱的外国纸币爆满。在干净，清爽，钞票看起来很有说服力，但他们现在并不在他们的原籍国或其他任何地方使用。这位年轻男孩直奔与笔记充满了他的口袋到最近的银行。收银员没有意识到，在有关国家已减少了90％，其货币价值。他们交换了其面值按目前汇率的说明。在3天前，他被发现了，他把20万英镑从9个不同的银行。令人惊讶的是，他已经花了更多的出租车乘坐，餐厅用餐，演唱会门票，并提出了许多新的女朋友，他赶上了他，前警察（至少他是慷慨！）高于今年上半年。因为他还未满18岁的银行有亲吻告别了很多钱，一些收银员也失去了工作。
如果我们很佩服正在积极进取，显示出他们的不诚实行为或谴责他们这些青少年？也许他们已设法与他们的零用钱从吝啬父母微量年了。也许他们已经做了花生星期六工作。这是不足为奇的，因为，年轻人们希望购买如时尚跑鞋和电脑游戏，有时会觉得如果他们作出了比送报纸和保姆的钱更富有想象力的办法昂贵的东西。这些小伙子们看到了机会，使了很多钱，把它。
最近的另一个故事，应该让我们深思，是谁付的男子，他6岁的女儿每周300英镑的零用钱案件。然后，他被控为食品她，她吃了她的租金和家庭支出的份额。经过这一切付出，她留下了她的存钱罐几个硬币。“她很快就会知道钱的价值，”他说。“天下没有免费的午餐。一切这样的事情，必须支付，而且越快越好，她得知。”在极端情况下还有谁喜欢其他家长为他们长大的儿童提供免费膳宿。而即使是最硬心肠的父母可能会毫不犹豫地扔在街头的儿童中，大家都知道的人谁在20年代末还无耻地住了他们的父母。毫无疑问，我们来的时候，每个人要离开父母的羽翼，照顾自己，付出自己的方式生活。但是什么时候？
The Day I Went to Open a Bank Account
I don't know why my father never liked banks. Every time we passed one he would frown and walk just a little faster to get past it just that little bit quicker. It seems to me there must have been a big collision between a bank and my father a long time ago before I knew anything about anything. That is, it may have been a big collision for my father but it was one that the bank almost certainly did not remember.
That's how I was brought up. Forever walking quickly past banks. Perhaps I took on my father 's opinions as I took on his other unusual behavior. I quickly learnt to frown and walk just a little bit faster every time I passed a bank. I also learnt to fear the shiny steel and chrome counters and the trim, slim and smartly dressed young women who sat behind them.
I never understood the necessity for banks until, at the end of my first month as a clerk in an office, I was handed a check for $ 1,500, I stared at it in great surprise. I had never seen such a thing before. I understood cash well enough but this long slip of paper was something I wasn't quite sure about.
"Everything all right?" asked Mrs. Smith, our accounts manager. "Yes ... yes!" I said and signed for it hurriedly. What on earth was I going to do? I knew too well what I had to do and my heart dropped at the thought. I had to open a bank account.
For some reason I thought you had to talk to the manager of a bank before they would let you open an account. I went up to an empty counter and caught the eye of a bank clerk.
"Yes? Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yes please," I said, "I 'd like a word with the manager. If that's possible;"
He looked surprised but asked me to wait and went off.
The manager was younger than I expected and was clearly very busy.
"Yes. Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yes. I 'd like to talk to you. If you don't mind," I said. I was just as surprised as he was at the confident manner in which I spoke. I didn't know what to say next so I said nothing. For a moment neither of us said anything.
He must have understood that I wished to see him alone, for he invited me into his office and offered me a large comfortable seat.
"Now, then, sir. What can I do for you?" he asked, clearly puzzled.
"I would like to open a bank account," I informed him.
"I see," he said, nodding his head slowly," And how much do you wish to deposit in this account?"
"I wish to deposit this," I said and handed him the check.
He examined the check carefully before handing it back to me.
"A savings account?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Please follow me."
He led me out of his office back to the banking hall. There he took me to a large desk manned by a young lady by the name of "Candice Lee"—as I saw from the name card on the desk.
"This lady will help you open a savings account in which you can deposit your check for $ 1500," he said in a voice that was, I felt, a bit louder than absolutely necessary. "Good day, sir," he said and walked back to safety behind the barrier.
I waited. Miss Lee filled out forms for me and I signed them. She stamped them. She made me sign a little strip of plastic and she fixed this inside a little red book. She put the check in and back came the book with the right amount printed in it. It was at that moment that I realised I needed to withdraw some money and I asked how this might be achieved.
"I 'm afraid you can't withdraw it for two days, sir. Not until the check has been cleared."
I stared at her in great surprise. I was trusting her bank with my money. It seemed only fair that they should trust my check.
"What?" I said in shock. "What!!?" I burst out angrily. Silence fell over the entire bank as everyone turned to see what was happening. I decided to leave with my self-respect safe and sound.
"If you do not trust my check, would you be so kind as to return it immediately. Your passbook," I said as confidently as I could. Miss Lee seemed really surprised. The bank manager must have been listening to every word. He came out once again from behind the barriers of steel and chrome. He held my check by a corner and presented it to me as if it were a wet fish. I handed him his little red pass book in a similar fashion, turned around and left. As the doors closed behind me, I clearly heard the sound of laughter.
The accounts department and I have managed to come to an arrangement about the way in which my salary is paid to me at the end of each month. I now keep my savings in a sock, as did my father before me, which I hide, as did my father before me, under my bed at home.
我不知道为什么我的父亲从来不喜欢银行。每当我们经过一，他会皱眉，然后步行一点点过去更快地得到它只是有点快。在我看来，一定有一个很久以前银行之间的大碰撞和我的父亲我才知道什么事情。也就是说，它可能是我父亲的大碰撞，但它是一个银行，几乎可以肯定不记得。
这就是我长大。永远走很快过去银行。也许我把我父亲的意见，我对他的其他异常行为发生。我很快就学会了皱眉，步行只是一点点快，每次我经过一家银行。我还学会了害怕闪亮钢和铬柜台和装饰，纤细，穿着整齐谁背后骑上年轻妇女。
我永远无法理解的是银行的必要性，直到在我的第一个月作为一个办公室文员结束时，我交了1500美元支票，我盯着它看很惊讶。我从来没有见过这样的事情之前。我理解现金不够好，但这种纸张的长条是什么我不十分清楚了。
“一切都还好吗？”问史密斯太太，我们的帐户经理。“是...是的！”我说的，因为它签署匆匆。究竟什么是我该怎么办？我深知，我必须做什么，心里在想下降。我必须开立银行帐户。
出于某种原因，我以为你说话，然后才让你开一个帐户，银行经理。我走到一个空柜台，引起了银行职员的眼睛。
“是吗？我可以帮你吗？”他问道。
“是请，”我说，“我就像一个与经理字D。如果这是可能的;”
他看起来非常吃惊，但让我等待和走了。
年轻的经理比我预期，显然是十分繁忙。
“是的。我能帮你吗？”他问道。
“是的。我想和你谈谈。如果你不介意，”我说。我只是感到很惊讶，因为他在自信地在我发言了。我不知道该说什么了，所以我没有说什么。对于一个时刻，我们谁也不说什么。他必须明白，我希望看到他一个人，因为他邀请我到他的办公室，并给了我一大舒适的座位。“现在，那么，先生。我能为您做点什么？”他问，明确疑惑。
“我想开一个银行帐户，”我告诉他。
“我明白了，”他说，他的头慢慢地点头道：“你想多少钱存入此帐户？”
“我想存这一点，”我说，交给他的支票。
他仔细地检查，然后交给给我送过来检查。
“一个储蓄帐户吗？”他问道。
我点了点头。
“请跟我来。”
他带领我走出他的办公室回到银行大厅。在那里，他带我去一个大桌子由一个由年轻女子的名字载人“康迪斯李”，因为我看到书桌上的名片。
“这或许会帮你开一个储蓄帐户，你可以把你的1500美元支票，”他说，在一个声音的时候，我觉得，有点胜于绝对必要的。“你好，先生，”他说，走回背后的安全屏障。
我等待着。李小姐为我填写表格和我签了字。她盖上他们。厍签署了我的塑料小地带和她定在一个小红书的。她把在检查和背部出现了与印有适量的书。正是在那一刻，我意识到我需要收回一些钱，我问这如何可能实现。
“我怕你不能撤回两天，先生。直到支票已被清除。”
我看着她很惊讶。我是信任我的钱她的银行。似乎只有公平的，他们应该相信我的支票。“什么？”我在震惊。“什么！？”我愤怒地爆发出来。沉默下降了全行大家都转过身来，要看是怎么回事。我决定离开我的自尊安然无恙。
“如果你不相信我的支票，你会这么好心地立即返回。您的存折，”当时我说我可以满怀信心。李小姐似乎感到很惊讶。银行经理必须一直在听每一个字。他出来再次从后面的钢和铬的障碍。他拉着我的一个角落里检查，并提交给我，就好像它是一个湿鱼。我递给他以类似的方式传递他的小红书，转身走了。由于我身后的门关闭，我清楚地听到了笑声。
账目管理部门和我来一个关于我的工资中支付在每月月底向我这样的安排。我现在保存在我的储蓄袜子一样，我父亲在我面前，我隐藏，就像我的父亲在我面前我的床，在家里。Unit 2
Remembering My Grandparents
When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty—a great tall man with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.
The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the product of a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had never dulled his humor nor his love of a joke. Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give orders, but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like suggestions.
One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said, "Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that." Then he drove away with his horses.
The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the horses to get their drink.
"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired.
"I don't know."
"How many potatoes did you pick up?"
"I didn't pick any."
"Not any! Why not?"
"You said I could pick them up if I wanted to. You didn't say I had to."
In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.
My grandmother (" Gram") worked hard all day, washing clothes, cleaning the house, making butter, and even working in the field when help was scarce. In the evening, though, she was not too tired to read books from the community library. For more than forty years Gram read aloud to Gramp almost every evening. In this way she and Gramp learned about all the great battles of history and became familiar with the works of great authors and the lives of famous men.
Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own day.
She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave her pleasure. The birds, the flowers, the clouds—all that was beautiful around her—pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who used to gather grass and show it to his son, saying, "See how beautiful this is!"
In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents, manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.
Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.
当我的记忆开始，我的祖父是过去60，一个伟大的高大男子厚厚成为白发。他的黑眼睛和鼻子直而尖在一座坡度平缓结束。有一次，他向我解释说，他认真了，作为一个小的孩子扁平小费时，他掉下来，他的鼻子加强。

Why I Love the City 我的许多朋友都离开了这座城市。它们是在郊区买房子,因为他们想要远离城市的喧嚣、烟雾、交通、和犯罪的城市。一个朋友说,“有太多的空气污染的城市。我更喜欢郊区,那里的空气是那么清新。“另一个朋友抱怨交通:“有太多的汽车市区!你不能找到一个停车的地方,交通堵塞的情况都很可怕。“每个人都在抱怨关于犯罪:“城市有许多罪犯。我很少离开我的房子”的幻影却如太危险了。 在我朋友搬离城市,他们通常会背诵优势郊区生活:绿草、花卉、游泳池、烤肉等等。然而在我的朋友们在那里住了一年左右的时间里,他们意识到郊区生活就不那么愉快,因为他们期待。这种变化的原因是什么?他们的花园!他们很快了解到,一个不可避免的一部分yardwork郊区生活。他们整个周末都在工作在他们的花园,它们是非常累的一把,又要取他们的水池游泳甚至做一些肉放在他们的烤肉。又有另一个投诉:他们不能住在郊区没有一辆车。我的大多数朋友都搬到郊区,避开塞车,但现在他们不得不上班市中心。他们坐在一个繁忙的公路每天两个小时! 我的意见是非常不同的城市生活,从我朋友的我住在市区吗?和我爱它! ! !为什么?嗯,首先,我喜欢nature-flowers、绿草、树木和动物。在这个城市里,我有一切优势自然:我可以步行通过公共公园,闻闻花香,坐在草地上在树下。我可以参观,动物园里的动物。然而到目前为止我还没有一个缺点:我不需要做yardwork或喂动物。同时,在这个城市,到处都可以让我乘公共汽车吗?如果有交通堵塞,我可以走回去。 似乎每个人都搬到郊区,避免罪恶的大城市。我有一个理论的城市犯罪的,然而,所以我觉得安全罪犯将反映在社会生活的变化:如果人们买了房子在郊区,罪犯将步其后尘。罪犯想避免噪音、烟雾、污染了。不久,过于拥挤和犯罪的问题,而不是城市郊区! People on the Move 美国人的历史,在某种程度上,历史运动的美国人民。他们移到东海岸的殖民地到开放空间的西部。从乡下搬,农场到城里去。最近,美国人一直不断地由城市郊区。 开放空间;西部地区迁移 美国人开始先驱移动,从东海岸到西250年前。他们向西边移居的原因有许多种。一个理由是无限的开放空间的可用性和土地耕作。美国人喜欢大的开放空间,他们也喜欢独立和自由发展的土地以他们自己的方式。一些土地变得农场。重要的矿产资源被发现在某些地区,因此有一些那地就都归了地雷。其他大型地区成为牛牧场。似乎对每个人都有足够的土地。但这是一个困难的生活——一种无止境的工作和困难。 城市 1860年以后,工业革命改变了美国。美国人学会了如何生产的钢铁。他们开始生产石油。汽车被发明了。工厂各类开始出现,而在城市开始长大了工厂周围。农民和其他的国家里,人们搬到越来越多的城市人为了寻找工作,更容易的生活。在1900年代早期,城市工作忙、令人激动的地方。然而,也有很多贫穷和困苦。 城市增长的城市建筑taller-and不必得到增长out-they展开的中心。私有房屋和门廊与码就消失了。公寓,每一个个子比下、就住在他们的地方。越来越多的人搬到城市,越来越大,城市。 一些城市不能分散因为没有房间这么做。这些城市,纽约就是一个最好的例子,变得越来越拥挤。更多的人意味着更多的汽车、卡车、公交车、更大的噪音,更多的污染,以及更多的犯罪。许多城市变得丑陋肮脏。有些人而有些公司开始离开城市搬到郊区城市外围。 郊区 搬到郊区的仍然是发生。美国人正在寻找一小块土地,他们可以叫他们自己。他们想要一座房子和院子。然而,他们不想放弃好的工作在城市。在许多情况下,公司在郊区给他们的工作。在其他情况下,美国人常常通勤到城市,在城市他们职业。近年来,越来越多的企业开始向郊区迁移。他们吸引了很多人,郊区变得拥挤。 接下来要做什么? 美国人看了他们缓慢下落到大城市年久失修而死。许多人离开了城市中产阶级,只有非常富有的人和很多贫困的人呆在后面。有关美国人正设法解决这一问题的噪音、灰尘、犯罪和污染在大城市里。他们正试图重建坏的部分城市为了吸引和保持业务的人。他们正在努力使他们的城市美丽。如今,许多美国人都正在考虑搬回了城市。 其他美国人发现甚至郊区已经变得太拥挤了。他们正在寻找无污染的开阔空间和作为独立的生活方式。他们准备离开郊区到乡下。 也许美国人总是会在前进。 Caution: Bumpy Road Ahead

P e t s There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. In most cultures, animals have an inferior position to human beings. In most instances, however, people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States, and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and g o u r m e t(美味的) food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars, fur jackets, hats and mittens for pets. In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for supermarkets in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for 20 of them. On the menu, there are varieties of special gourmet dishes for dogs to choose from. There is a sausage dish, a turkey dish, and a pasta dish, among others. For dessert, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits. In the U.S., there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat inherited 100,000 dollars when

A MISTAKEN RAPTURE A little woman was killed after leaping through her moving car's sunroof during an incident best described as "a mistaken rapture" by dozens of eyewitnesses. 13 other people were injured after a 20-car
pile-up resulted from people trying to avoid hitting the woman who was apparently convinced that the rapture was occurring when she saw 12 people floating up into the air, and then passed a man on the side of the road who she claimed was Jesus.
"She started screaming, 'He's back, He's back' and climbed right out of the sunroof and jumped off the roof of the car," said Everet Williams, husband of 28-year-old Georgann Williams who was pronounced dead at the scene. "I was slowing down but she wouldn't wait till I stopped,"

第五单元 一个年轻的,盲目的电脑专家 有时,这被认为是消极的证明是一个资产的工作。虽然他只有18岁,盲目的,莱曼Gokyigit名列计算机技术人员和程序员在InteliData技术公司,一个大型软件公司与几家美国各地的办公室。 “在我们公司加上另一个去年10月,两个不同的计算机网络是我们的疯狂驾驶回忆说,“一个InteliData道格拉斯·布劳恩,副总统。“我们甚至不能互相发送电子。“在三个星期,奥Gokyigit,托莱多大学二年级在InteliData兼职的城市的公司,创建了软件需要合并两个网络。“没有一个公司的350名其他雇员可能做过这三个月的工作,”布劳恩先生说。“莱曼的确可以“看”到电脑的核心。” Gokyigit先生的礼物,布劳恩先生所说,是一个不寻常的能力,形成一个想法部的机器。“计算机允许我到这个世界,做任何我想做 的,”Gokyigit先生说,他是一位计算机科学与工程专业a。 像大多数盲目与计算机工作的人,Gokyigit先生使用一个语音合成器,是一种电子装置,可以大声朗读出来的视频显示在他的监视器在一个机械的声音。他完全取决于记忆。将合成器以最高速度,他记得几乎所有他听到,至少直到完成一个项目。而合成器会谈,奥Gokyigit精神“地图”电脑屏幕带编号的坐标(如三宽,两下)和记下每个图标的位置在网格上,所以他可以调用文件与他的鼠标。
年轻的程序员也在家里和硬件,部分原因是一个高度发达的触觉。Nowakowski米茨,一名办公室经理在InteliData记得,他轻松地断开连接和重新连接他们的计算机系统在去年移动。“通过感觉,莱曼能找到位置的连接器,别针和连接速度远远超过其他大多数人的景象,”她说。几个月前,在前往旧金山,布劳恩先生很难连接到公司的大型计算机使用他的笔记本电脑。他需要具体数字进入四InteliData文件。而不是问某人手动搜索一本厚厚的书的计算机地址,他称Gokyigit先生,他犯下的地址簿来记忆和产生适当的数据“在十秒”,布劳恩先生说。 大部分的学生程序员的速度来自他的能力忽略中断,计算机。当输入时,他仔细地听着合成器。他的又长又瘦的手指在键盘上飞行。“没有什么似乎动摇他的浓度,”Nowakowski太太说,他的老板。 Gokyigit先生是唯一的公司员工每天24小时可用。“我们认为他我们的首要问题解决者,”布劳恩先生说。 梦想成真 我们都有梦想。然而我们中很少有人满足他们。通常,一个梦想模一样迅速地出生,因为我们缺乏信心保持它。当我长大到足以理解生活的现实,我意识到社会上放一个高价值的青春、美丽和智慧成就。这个发现给了我一些想法发展我的梦想。 我知道美丽是我永远不会有。所以我没有梦想成为美丽的。但我不认为这是坏事,因为它迫使我集中精力去开发我的其他品质。人们看到的只

Book One Unit Four Passage One Directions: You will have 10 minutes to read this passage quickly and answer the following questions from A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Youth Speak If you think the English language is getting shorter, you may be right. From news bytes to text-messaging to famously shorter attention spans, we're saying less—and relying on slang more. Why? With so much of our daily communications taking place online these days—and that doesn’t include just e-mail, but text-messaging on increasingly teenier devices—it seems everyday English has been reduced to a code of accepted abbreviations, mysterious combinations of numbers and letters, and even symbols masquerading as facial expressions. :) Often in all lowercase(小写字母) letters. Certain numbers, “2” and “4” in particular, play starring roles—replacing, respectively, “to” and “for”—but the far more interesting development is the embrace of the number “3” for the letter “e” (“b3” and “th3”), and the number “8” for the sound it makes (“gr8” and “l8r” for “great” and “later”). While some of these brave new acronyms(首字母缩拼词) can actually be self-explanatory (“u” for “you” and “ur” for “your”) or fairly logical (“b4” for “before”), or can highlight the sounds the letters ma ke (“qt” for “cutie” and “cu” for “see you”) or act as abbreviations (“cuz” for “because”), or can be just straightforward acronyms (“bff” for “best friends forever”), some do border on strange (“peeps” for “people”). Some terms that have been in circulati on for quite a while are pretty recognizable: “lol” (“laughing out loud”), “btw” (“by the way”), and “imho” (“in my humble opinion”). Some, meanwhile, are puzzling: “iykwim” (“if you know what I mean”), “mtfbwy” (“may the force be with you”), and “wysiwyg”(“what you see is what you get”). At times, this alphabet-soup vernacular (本国语，俗语) feels absolutely confusing to everyone but linguists and computer geeks. But it’s difficult to argue with it s speed—or even its necessity—when forced to use a toothpick-sized device to reply to an office memorandum (备忘录) while driving a car (not recommended or legal but, unfortunately, all too common). With the exception of “peeps,” though, all of the above examples are mostly used in written slang. Spoken slang is a whole o ther story. And it’s here that the younger generation truly has its say (pun intended). Today’s slang changes faster than yesterday’s password. That’s because words that were popular only a couple of years ago have lost favor—among t oday’s teens—for no reason at all. These include: “sweet”, “excellent”, and “awesome” (which all mean “good”). But, then, slang is short-lived by nature. In order for slang to be slangy, it has to have a feeling of perpetual newness. Slang is like fashion: never “in” for long. Americans eventually tire of even the most popular words, and by natural selection, only the strong survive.
Unit 1 Johnny the Explorer 约翰尼探险家 Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields, and two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address. 当约翰尼第一次离家出走时,他只有 3岁。有些人的花园门口敞开着。约翰尼越过这些地段就漫步出去了,接着 2个小时后,他到了下一个村子。他只能说出他的名字和地址。 By the time he was seven, Johnny used to vanish from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. On other occasions he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it?" they used to ask. "You aren't unhappy at home, are you? .... " "Of course not," Johnny replied. "Then why?" "I just like seeing places," Johnny told them. 等到他 7岁的以后,约翰尼经常离家出走,一年内有两到三次。有时他步行到很远的地方。其他时候,他通常坐公共汽车或甚至坐火车外出,并朴素地坐在里面直到有人来买票。通常警察来带他回家。“为什么你要离家出走?” 警察们问他,“你在家里是幸福的,不是吗? .... ”“当然不是不幸福,”约翰尼回答道。“那是为什么呢?”“我只是喜欢外出探险, ”约翰尼告诉他们。 Johnny continued to "see places" although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he used to travel hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.

Wildlife Conservation In my children's lifetimes, I believe gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans ( 猩猩) will all become extinct in the wild. So the question we have to ask ourselves is this: do we
want our children to see only in zoos what used to exist in the real world? It is the great apes that will disappear first, because there are so few of them left, and because they're so vulnerable to changes in their habitats.
Many of the threats to these animals result from a global economy and not local pressures. The threat to the orangutans in Indonesia, for example, is largely a result of deforestation and the risks to apes and chimpanzees in Africa result from the timber
trade and the demand for bush-meat. The two work together: logging opens up the forest, which means that the bush-meat can be got out fast, to Kinshasa or to London. If we want to avoid the disaster, people in developed
