U1 A Toward a brighter future for all 奔向更加光明的未来
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！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
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.在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。”“等一等，”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
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.让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
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.对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。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.你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
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.有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。
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!在大学里，一下子拥有这么多新鲜体验可能不会总是令人愉快的。在你的宿舍楼里，住在你隔壁寝室的同学可能会反复播放同一首歌，令你头痛欲裂！
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!你可能喜欢早起，而你的室友却是个夜猫子！尽管如此，你和你的室友仍然可能成为最要好的朋友。如果有些新的经历让你感觉不那么舒心，不要担心。我保证快乐的经历会多于不快的经历。而且我保证几乎所有这些经历都会给你带来宝贵的经验教训，从而使你的生活更加丰富多彩。所以，带着热切的目光和欢乐的心情，去拥抱这些新的体验吧！
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? 我们相信，你们的自我发现之旅和对爱好的寻求带给你们的将不仅仅是个人的进步。我们相信，当你们成为我们的学者群体中的一员时，你们很快就会认识到，大学不仅提供大量自我充实的机会，同时也带来了责任。一位智者说过：“教育代代相传，它就是社会的灵魂。”你们是你们家庭辛勤劳动成果的传承者，也是无数前辈辛勤劳动成果的传承者。他们积累了知识，并把知识传递给你们，而这些知识正是你们取得成功所必需的。现在轮到你们了。你们会获取什么样的知识？你们会发现什么样的兴趣爱好？你们怎样做才能为你们的子孙后代创造一个强大昌盛的未来？
We take great pleasure in opening the door to this great step in your journey.We take delight in the many opportunities which you will find, and in the responsibilities that you will carry as citizens of your communities, your country, and the world.Welcome!我们很高兴能为你们人生旅途中这一重大阶段开启大门。我们很高兴你们将获得许多机会，也很高兴你们将作为社区、国家乃至世界的公民承担起应有的责任。欢迎你们！

新视野大学英语二级读写教程翻译（第一版）
Unit 1 时间观念强的美国人
--------
美国人认为没有人会停止不前。如果你不求进取，就会落伍。这种态度造就了一个决心投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一个则是工作。人们一直在说: “只有时间才能支配我们。” 人们似乎是把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待的。我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的使用作出解释;我们还要因时间而收取费用。时间是一种宝贵的资源。许多人都深感人生的短暂。一旦人生的光阴逝去，就不能复返了。我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。
外国人对美国的第一印象很可能就是：每个人都显得匆匆忙忙—常常是处于压力之下。城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了想赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。白天人人都急急忙忙地吃饭则部分地体现了这个国家的生活节奏。工作时间被认为是宝贵的。在公共用餐场所，人们等着别人吃完，这样可以轮到他们，以按时赶回去工作。你还会发现汽车司机开车很鲁莽, 人们推搡着在你身边过去。你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈及与陌生人的随意闲聊。不要觉得 这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人不得当地“浪费”时间。
许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒喧。他们也会怀念那种喝着招待客人的茶或咖啡的礼节性交往, 这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。他们也许还会想念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评估他们的客人的，更不用说他们会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去高尔夫球场。既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人的，我们就开门见山地谈生意。因此时间老是在我们的耳朵里嘀嗒嘀嗒地响着。因而我们千方百计地节约时间。我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流, 而不是通过直接接触。虽然面对面接触令人愉快，但却要化更多的时间, 尤其是在马路上交通拥挤时。因此我们把大多数个人间的拜访放在下班以后的时间里或周末的社交聚会上进行。
就我们而言，电子交流的缺乏人情味与我们手头上事情的重要性之间很少有或完全没有关系。在有些国家里, 没有当面接触就做不成大生意, 需要面对面的交谈。在美国，最后协议通常也需要本人签字。然而现在人们越来越多的是在电视屏幕上见面，开电信会议不仅能解决本国的问题，而且还能— 通过卫星—解决国与国之间的问题。美国无疑是一个电话王国。几乎每个人都在用电话做生意、与朋友聊天、安排或取消社交约会、说声 “谢谢”、购物、或去获得各种信息。电话不但能免去你的走路之劳，而且还能为你节约大量时间。其部分原因在于这样一个事实：美国的电话服务是一流的，而邮政服务的效率则差劲多了。有些初来美国的人很可能来自其它的文化背景，在那里人们认为工作太快是一种失礼。在他们看来，如果不是花一定时间来处理某件事的话，则这件事就好像是无足轻重的，不值得给予适当的重视。因此，人们觉得用的时间长会增加所做事情的重要性。但在美国，能迅速而又成功地解决问题或完成工作，则被视为是有水平、有能力的标志。通常，工作越重要，投入的资金、精力和注意力就越多，其目的是 “使工作开展起来”。
UNIT2 世界各地的环境保护
--------世界上大部分地区不存在环保意识。绝大多数国家只顾经济发展，而不顾经济发展对全球生态环境的影响。但近年来，随着环境损害的日益严重，世界各地已经出现了许多变化的迹象。下面就是几个正在采取环境保护新举措的国家的例子。
加拿大
--------
当欧洲的探险者刚踏上新大陆时，后来成为加拿大东部和新英格兰的沿海渔场盛产鳕鱼及其他鱼类。号称大浅滩的海域是当时世界上产鱼最多的渔场。
500年以后的今天，过度捕捞已使鱼的数量减少到危险的程度。针对这一情况，加拿大关闭了这一捕鳕海域，并对其他鱼类的捕捞量也作出严格限制。
加拿大在20世纪70年代也曾采过取类似措施来保护鲱鱼的数量，最终鲱鱼的数量得到了恢复。但是专家们说，由于时下的滥捕，某些鱼类可能永远也恢复不到原来的数量了。政府也面临着来自加拿大渔民的抗议。因为禁渔和捕鱼数量的减少，现在己有大约4万渔民失业。
哥斯达黎加
--------
这个中美洲国家为保护其热带雨林的生态多样性，已制订出世界上最为雄心勃勃的的规划之一。这个国家许多地区的树木已被砍伐殆尽，而且土地流失范围十分广。但是人们制订了一系列新的环境保护法，还新建了占四分之一国土面积的公园和自然保护区，目的是要保护哥斯达黎加现存的森林。巴西
--------
巴西是全世界最大的热带丛林-亚马逊雨林的生长地。几十年来，巴西政府一直在致力于开拓和开发亚马逊雨林，给这个地区及其居民带来了严重的环境灾难。
但在1991年，在世界各地环境保护者的压力下，巴西彻底改弦更张。它取消了原本旨在鼓励砍伐亚马逊雨林的税收优惠，而且还批准了给新的森林保护项目提供资金的计划。
养牛场场主、矿工和移民们反对这个措施，继续破坏森林, 虽然破坏速度比过去已放慢。去年，矿工们为了争夺印第安人的土地而杀死了一群居住在亚马逊雨林里的印第安人后，冲突扩大了。巴西政府承诺，将保护该地区的土著居民，但人们对这个承诺的可信度仍心存疑虑。
东欧
--------
东欧各国，包括波兰、匈牙利、捷克和斯洛伐克共和国，被认为是世界上工业化国家中污染最严重的。开挖煤矿时逸出的重金属已经污染了这个地区的许多水域。河流、土地及森林的污染是如此严重，以至现在其中的许多在生物学上来讲已经死亡。
通过签订一系列专门性条约，东欧国家已与许多其它国家，包括美国，设立了用来净化环境和改善该地区发电厂的特别基金。此外，德国和捷克共和国已签订了一项条约以保护易北河，使之不再进一步被污染。专家们说该条约可被视为保护该地区其它河流，包括奥德河和多瑙河在内，的典范。
加纳
--------
加纳的人口一直在以每年3.2%的速度增长。这种人口激增已导致了该国许多地方森林的消失及对现存农田过度耕作。森林正在以每年278平方英里的速度被砍伐。
针对这一情况，政府鼓励当地村庄建立更多的共有农田。为恢复荒地的地力，它资助人们种植诸如木薯、玉米、棉花之类的经济作物和植树造林。观察家们称该计划已成功地巩固了该国的农业基础，而且还给村民们带来了新的财源。但是要知道这些措施是否会产生足够的影响来减缓砍伐森林的速度，尚须时日。印度尼西亚
--------
印度尼西亚人传统上偏爱大家庭，他们的主要宗教伊斯兰教不赞成节制生育。但是这个人口达1.88亿的国家正在为了给其人民提供足够的食物、住房和工作机会而苦苦挣扎。印尼政府近几年来已发动了一场大规模的广告宣传运动来鼓励节制生育，并提出了鼓励措施，如提供免费去沙特阿拉伯的麦加-伊斯兰教的诞生地-的机会。
印尼政府已成功地扩大了实行节制生育的范围，节育人口已从20年前的10%增加到今天的49%。其结果是每个妇女从平均生育5.6个孩子下降到平均生育3个。印尼政府希望到2005年的时候，每个妇女的平均生育数可下降到2.1个。但是因为该国的人口基数十分大，要想达到政府的人口目标，印尼还必须再转变几百万人的思想，让他们接受节制生育的观念。
UNIT3 跨国婚姻
--------
我和盖尔计划举行一个不事张扬的婚礼。在一起相处的两年中，我们经历了一对情侣在学着相互了解、理解和尊重时常常出现的磕磕碰碰。但在这整整两年间，我们坦诚地面对了彼此性格中的弱点和长处。
我们之间的种族及文化差异不但增强了我们的关系，还教会了我们彼此间要宽容、谅解和开诚布公。盖尔有时不明白为何我和其他黑人如此热衷于种族问题，她好像忘记了美国社会中种族仇恨更加微妙的表现形式，这一点令我感到惊讶。
作为一对居住在美国、异族通婚的夫妻，我和盖尔对未来不抱丝毫幻想。相互信任和尊重是我们俩永不枯竭的力量源泉。
许多夫妻因为错误的理由结了婚, 结果在10年、20年或30年后才发觉他们原来是合不来的，他们在婚前几乎没有化时间去了解彼此，他们忽视了严重的性格差异，指望婚姻会自然而然地解决各种问题。我们希望避免重蹈复辙。下列事实强调了这样一点：已经结婚35年的盖尔父母正经历着一场充满怨恨、令人痛苦的婚变，这件事给了盖尔以毁灭性的打击, 并一度给我们正处于萌芽状态的关系带来了负面的影响。
当盖尔把我们计划举办婚礼的消息告诉她家人时，她遇到了一些阻力。她的母亲德博拉过去一直赞成我们的关系，甚至还开过玩笑，问我们打算何时结婚，这样她就可以抱外孙了。但这次听到我们的消息时，她没向我们表示祝贺，相反却劝盖尔想想清楚自己的决定是否正确。
“这么说我跟他约会没错, 但是如果我跟他结婚，就错了。妈妈，是不是因为他的肤色？” 盖尔后来告诉我她曾这样问她母亲。
“首先我必须承认, 刚开始时我对异族通婚是有保留的，也许你甚至可以把这称为偏见。但是当我见到马克时，我发现他是一个既讨人喜欢又聪明的年轻人。任何一个母亲都会因为有这样一个女婿而感到脸上有光的。所以，这事跟肤色没有关系。是的, 我的朋友们会有闲话。有些朋友甚至对你所做的事表示震惊。但他们是生活在一个和我们不同的世界里的人。因此要明白，马克的肤色不是个问题。我最大的担心的是你也许跟我当初嫁给你爸爸一样，是因为错误的原因而嫁给马克的。当年我和你爸爸相遇时，我也把他看作是个可爱、聪明、讨人喜欢和善解人意的人。一切都是多么新鲜、多么令人兴奋。而且我们俩人都认为-至少在表面上是如此-我们的婚姻是理想婚姻，而且一切迹象都表明是会天长地久的。直到后来我才明白，在我们结婚时，我并不十分理解我所爱的人-你的爸爸。” “但是我和马克呆在一起已有2年多了,” 盖尔抱怨道。“我们俩一起经历了许许多多的事情。我们彼此已很多次看到对方最糟糕的一面。我可以肯定时间只会证明我们是彼此深情相爱的。”
“你也许是对的。但我还是认为再等一段时间有好处。你今年才25岁。”
盖尔的父亲戴维-我还未见过他的面-以知女莫若父的态度来对付我们的决定。他问的问题基本上和盖尔母亲的问题相同: “干吗这么匆忙？这个马克是什么人？他是什么公民身份?” 当他得知我在公民身份部门遇到的问题时, 就怀疑我是因为想留在美国而娶他的女儿的。
“不过爸爸，你这话讲得太难听了,” 盖尔说。
“那么干吗要这样着急？拖一段时间再说，拖一段时间再说,” 他重复说着。
“马克以前是有过公民身份方面的问题，但他总是在自己处理这些问题,” 盖尔辩解道。“ 事实上，当我们在讨论结婚的时候，他清楚地表明了这样一点：如果我对任何事情有怀疑, 我完全可以取消我们的计划。”
她的父亲开始引用统计数据说明异族通婚的夫妻离婚率比同族结婚的夫妻要高，而且还列举了接受过他咨询的、在婚姻上有麻烦的异族通婚夫妇的例子。
他问道：“你考虑过你以后的孩子可能会遭受的苦难吗？”
“爸，你是个种族主义分子吗?”
“不，当然不是。但你必须得现实一点。”
“也许我们的孩子会遇到一些问题。但谁的孩子不会呢？ 但是有一样东西他们将会永远拥有：我们的爱和奉献。”
“那是一种理想主义的想法。人们对异族通婚生下的孩子是会很残酷的。”
“爸爸，到时候，我们自己会操心的。但是假如我们在做什么事之前，必须把所有的疑难问题全部解决的话，那么我们几乎就什么都干不成了。”
“请记住，回心转意是永远不会太迟的。”
UNIT4 到国外求学
--------
选择去美国完成中学学业的巴西青年所面临的挑战。
830号班机。起飞时间：晚上十时四十五分。
乍一看，这不过是又一架飞往加州洛杉矶市的普通班机。然而对于飞机上的38个年龄在15到18岁之间的年轻乘客来说，这是一次全新经历的开始： 他们将远离家人去国外留学，度过他们生命中的10个月。美国平均每年要接待78，000名中学学历程度的外国学生，其中3，000个来自巴西。他们都是因为同样的原因赴美的--学会流利的英语、完成中学学业以及尽可能了解有关美国生活方式的方方面面。在每个学期结束时，只要这些学生能通过期末考试，美国当局就会向他们颁发证书，巴西是承认这种证书的。
对大多数学生来说，至少要经过6个月的精心筹划才能作出到国外学习的决定。“对我来说，” 17岁的格洛里亚·马卡托说: “学会讲英语及体验这种经历比从美国政府那里拿到一张证书更为重要。” 其他人则向往能继续上大学。桑德罗·罗德里戈·德·巴洛斯明确表示: “我想做一名音乐指挥家，而且我已经选择好了美国最好的音乐学院。”
正如他们所说的那样，事情并不总是那么顺利。甚至那些计划在美国完成两个学期中学课程的年轻学生也很难找到接待家庭。很少有学生在到达这个国家时，就把一切细节都安排妥贴了的。格洛里亚·马卡托是其中的一个幸运者。在出国前，她收到了2封信及几张她的新“父母”的照片。格洛里亚说: “我认为一切都取决于你怎样回答巴西这边的海外留学公司寄给你的问卷调查。举个例子说吧, 我是不惜纸墨的。我甚至描写了我的四条狗，还说我每个星期天都去做礼拜。” 她达到了目的。美国人笃信宗教（绝大多数美国人都是基督教徒), 而且宠物在他们心里占有特殊的地位。虽然可以减免一小部分所得税, 接待海外留学生的美国家庭是不向学生收钱的。
每个孩子的个人用品、娱乐、长途电话及衣服都得自己掏钱。每个月的这些费用加起来就要 200 到 300 美元。怕万一生病，每个学生都得办一张医疗帮助卡。健康保险不包括艾滋病、人工流产和自杀后的治疗，也不支付治疗牙齿和配眼镜的费用。
事实上，大多数学生在离家时，都知道他们将在没有原来所习惯了的父母照顾的情况下自己生活, 学会自己照料自己。然而，他们没有人会独自整理行装。父母们一直在给他们出主意，甚至帮他们装箱打包。这些小青年在做这类事的时候常常显得缺乏实践经验。他们带了许多不必要的东西。一个来自巴西南部的学生把2个大箱子塞得满满的，此外，还得考虑她随身携带的行李。结果她无法一个人带着这么多东西踏上旅途。
对许多学生来说，在机场与亲友告别是他们最难受的时候。即使朋友们及家人支持他们出国留学, 但在此时此刻说声再见却是很困难的。帕特里夏·卡格利恩说: “抛下你所爱的人，特别是男朋友, 是很不容易的。我在飞机起飞的时候哭了，到了飞机上还在哭。”
学生们在等待美国国内班机把他们带到在美国的临时家庭时又紧张了一阵。从那以后，每个人都得自己照料自己了。没有人真正知道自己该如何去适应这新的环境。虽然大多数外国学生将留在加利福尼亚州，但也有人要被送往德克萨斯、亚利桑那、爱达荷、俄克拉荷马及弗吉尼亚等州去。
几天以后，普遍的抱怨就是食物了。“虽然我的适应能力很强，可我真的很想念米饭和豆类菜肴。这里的食物看上去不太有营养。” 费尔南多·安德雷德哀怨地说。大多数年轻人遇到的另一个大问题，就是他们远在他乡、倍思亲人。
留学计划中有一条与时间有关的重要规定，这是由接待家庭的 “父母” 制定的。根据这条规定, 这些十几岁的孩子们在周末晚上必须回家。“他们真的很严格吶,” 刚学完第一学期的朱莉安娜·马蒂尼说。“你必须在晚上十点半以前到家。如果做不到,就会受罚。”
刚到美国时, 有些孩子对英语几乎一窍不通。在这种情况下，唯一的解决方法就是请私人语言教师。这样就增加了留学的费用，加上飞机票，估计费用大约为3,800 美元。
UNIT5 我为女儿抽烟哭泣
--------
我的女儿会抽烟。她做家庭作业时，脚搁在前面的长凳上，计算机嗒嗒地跳出几何题的答案。我看着那包已抽了一半、她随意扔在紧靠手边处的骆驼牌香烟。我拿起香烟，走到厨房里去仔细察看，那里的光线好一点--谢天谢地，那是有过滤嘴的。可我心里却感到十分难过。我想哭。事实上，站在厨房煤气灶旁边, 我确实哭过。我手里捏着一支雪白雪白的香烟，制作得非常精致。那可是会致我女儿于死地的东西啊。当她抽“万宝路”及“运动员”牌香烟时，我硬起心肠, 不让自己感到难过。我认识的人当中没有那个抽过这两种牌子的香烟。
她不知道我父亲、也就是她外公生前抽的就是骆驼牌香烟。但是在他开始抽机制卷烟之前--那时他很年轻、也很穷，但眼睛炯炯有神--他抽的是用阿尔伯特亲王牌烟丝自己手工卷制的香烟。我还记得那鲜红的烟丝罐头，上面有一张维多利亚女王的丈夫阿尔伯特亲王身穿黑色燕尾服、手拿一支手杖的图片。
到40年代末、50年代初，我的家乡乔治亚州的伊顿镇上已没有人再自己手工制作卷烟了（而且几乎没有女人抽烟）。烟草业，再加上好来坞电影--影 片中的男女主角都是老烟鬼--把像我父亲那样的人完完全全争取了过去, 他们无可救药地抽烟上了瘾。然而我父亲看上去从来就没有像阿尔伯特亲王那样时髦。他还是一个贫穷、过于肥胖、为养活一大家人而拼命干活的男人。他浑身漆黑，嘴里却总叼着一支雪白的香烟。
我记不清父亲是什么时候开始咳嗽的, 也许开始时并不明显, 他早晨一下床点燃第一支香烟时才有点微咳。到我16岁, 也就是我女儿现在这般年龄时，他一呼吸就呼哧呼哧的，让人感到不安；他上楼时每走三、四级楼梯就得停下来休息一会儿。他常常一连咳上一个来小时。
肺病把我父亲折磨得虚弱不堪, 一个严冬，他死于被叫做“穷人的朋友”的疾病--肺炎。他咳嗽了这么多年，我想他的肺部已没有什么完好的地方了。去世前几年，他的呼吸已经很虚弱了，他总得倚靠着某个东西。我记得有一次全家聚会，当时我女儿才2岁，他抱了她一会儿，好让我有时间给他俩拍张照片。但是很明显，他是费了好大劲的。他生命行将结束前, 主要是因为他的肺功能已极度受损，他才戒了烟。戒烟后他的体重增加了几磅，但当时他太瘦了，所以没人注意到这一点。
我到第三世界国家去旅行时，看到了许多像我父亲和女儿那样的人。到处都有针对他们这两类人的巨大广告牌：强壮、自信或时髦、年龄较大的男人, 以及漂亮、“世故”的年青女人，都在吞云吐雾。就像在美国的市中心区和印第安人的居留地上发生的事一样。在这些贫困的国家里，那些本应该化在食物上的钱却流进了烟草公司。久而久之，人们不但缺少食物，而且还缺少空气，这样不但大大地削弱了孩子们的体质，还使他们染上了烟瘾，最终还会致他们于死地。我在报纸及我订阅的园艺杂志上看到, 烟蒂的毒性是很强的：一个婴儿如果吞下了一个烟蒂，就很有可能会死去； 沸水加一把烟蒂就成了很有效的杀虫剂。
作为一个母亲，我感到深深的痛苦。有时我有一种无能为力的感觉。我记得自己怀孕时，吃东西的时候是多么当心啊！之后在教她如何安全穿过马路时，又是多么耐心啊！有时我纳闷：自己这样做到底是为了什么? 难道是为了她今后大半辈子有气无力地挣扎着呼吸，然后再像她外公那样自己把自己毒死？
我特别喜欢一条写在受伤害妇女收容所里的语录： “人间平安，始于家庭。” 我认为世上所有东西都是如此。我还想起了另一条写给那些想戒烟的人们的语录： “每个家庭都应该是禁烟区。” 抽烟是一种自我毁灭，而且也毁灭着那些不得不坐在你身边的人。那些人偶尔也会取笑或抱怨抽烟，可常常只能无可奈何地坐在一边看。我现在意识到了，当我还是一个孩子时，许多年中我实际上是一直坐在旁边，看着我父亲自杀。对那些生意兴隆的烟草公司的巨头们来说，能在我家取得这样一种胜利，肯定是够满意了。
UNIT6 人如其名
--------
在她人生最初的24年里，人们一直叫她黛比--一个和她漂亮的容貌和优雅的风度不相配的名字。“我的名字老是使我觉得自己应该是一个女厨子,” 她抱怨道。“我真的不想要黛比这个名字。”
一天，在填写一张申请一个出版业工作职位的表格时，这位小姐一时冲动,用她的中名林恩替换了她的名字黛比。“这是我一生中干过的最漂亮的事,”现在她对人这样说。“我一停止称自己为黛比，我就对自己感到比较舒坦了……而且其他人也开始更认真地对待我了。” 在成功地通过那次工作面试两年后，这位昔日的女服务员现在成了一位成功的杂志编辑。朋友和同事们都叫她林恩。
当然, 黛比(或林恩)的职业成就并不是改名带来的，但是它肯定给她带来了好处，虽说改名仅使她对自己的才能增加了一点点自信。社会科学家认为你叫什么名字会影响你的生活。自古至今，名字不仅被用来识别人，而且也被用来描述人。圣经上说： “……人如其名 ……”，此外韦伯斯特大词典也对名字作了如下的定义： “表达某种特点的一个或几个字, 这种特点被认为反映了某人或某事的本质、或描述了某人某事，常表示嘉许或不喜欢的意思。” 请好好注意这几个词：“嘉许或不喜欢。” 不管是好是歹，诸如友好或拘谨，相貌平常或漂亮妩媚等品质特征已经和你的名字连在了一起，甚至在他人见到你这个人之前就已经知道了你的这些品质和特征。
名字已成为特定形象的组成部分, 任何一个被称为“相貌平常的珍妮”或“普普通通的乔”的人都能证明这一点。后面的那个名字特别使我烦恼，因为我的名字也叫乔。有些人认为这个名字使我更适合于做一个棒球运动员而不是，比如说，艺术评论家。然而，尽管有此不利，我确实曾一度努力想成为一名评论家。即使如此，一家著名杂志一直拒绝把“乔”作为我的文章的作者署名，而是用我名字的首字母 J.S.来代替它。我怀疑假如我的名字是比较文雅的阿瑟、或艾德里安的话，我的名字早已完整地出现在杂志上了。
当然, 有积极含义的名字对你是有好处的，甚至能促进你结交新友。最新调查表明：美国男人认为苏珊是最有吸引力的女性名字，而女人则认为里查德和戴维是男人中最有吸引力的名字。我认识一个女人，她拒绝了一次由第三方安排的、与一个叫哈里的男人的约会，因为“这人听上去没劲”。可就在几天后的一个晚间聚会上，她走到我身边，催逼着我把她介绍给一个给人以深刻印象的男人；他们俩人整个晚上都在互送秋波。“哦”，我说“你指的是哈里呀。”她听了后感到很尴尬。
虽然我们中大多数人会认为自己没有这样的偏见看法，但在某种程度上，我们都有对名字产生固定看法的毛病。老老实实地坦白：你碰到一个名叫奈杰儿的木匠会不会感到惊讶呢？ 或是一个叫伯撒的物理学家呢？抑或是一个叫梅尔的教皇呢？ 正如我的一位女性朋友在照看一批托儿所里的四岁儿童时所发现的那样, 我们常常把由名字引起的固定想法加到他人身上。“在托儿所里,有一次我想叫一个名字为朱利安的、活跃的小男孩静静地坐下来看书, 同时把一个喜欢沉思的、名叫罗里的孩子推出去打球。因为他们的名字，我把他们的性格给搞混了！”
很明显，这样的偏见也会影响课堂效果的。在一项由圣迭戈州立大学的赫伯特·哈拉里及乔治亚州立大学的约翰·麦克戴维主持的研究中，与名叫迈克和戴维的作文卷子相比，教师老是给卷上名字为埃尔默和休伯特的男孩写的文章打较低的分数, 实际这是同样的两份卷子。但是教师的偏见不是造成课堂得分差别的唯一原因。坦普尔大学的托马斯·V·巴斯博士和路易莎·塞雷达里恩发现：那些名叫琳达、戴安娜、芭芭拉、卡罗尔及辛迪之类的女孩们在评分客观公正的智力测验和学业成绩测验中的成绩比那些名字不太有吸引力的女孩要好。（一个与之配套的研究表明：女孩受同龄人欢迎的程度也与她们的名字受欢迎的程度有关系。虽然对男孩来说这种关系不太明显。）
虽然你父母很可能打算让你的名字一辈子用下去，但记住, 他们选这个名字的时侯，也许还没有见过你呢。而且, 当他们选择这个名字时，他们所重视的希望和梦想也许不符合你的希望和梦想。假如你的名字看上去不再跟你相配时，不要苦恼；你不必一辈子用这个名字。影星们经常改名，而且是怀着某种决心这样做的，你也可以这样做。

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
陈超
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

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

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)
