所有重大的战役都是在自己内心进行的。——谢尔登·考格斯
数年前(1983—1987),我有机会为麦当劳公司扮演吉祥小丑罗纳德·麦当劳的角色。我的市场范围涵盖亚利桑那州的大部分地区和南加州的部分地区。
我们例行的活动之一便是“罗纳德日”。每个月中的某一天,我们都要探访尽可能多的社区医院,给那个谁也不想去的地方带去一点快乐。能为正在经历“消沉时期”的大人和孩子带去一点欢乐,我感到十分自豪。从活动中感受到的温暖和喜悦一连几周萦绕在我身边。我喜欢这个项目,麦当劳公司喜欢这个项目,孩子和大人喜欢这个项目,护理人员及医务人员也喜欢这个项目。
每次探访我都受到两条规定的限制。第一,没有麦当劳员工以及医院工作人员的陪同,我不得在医院随意走动。这样,如果我走进某个病房吓着了孩子,旁边就会有人及时处理这一问题。第二,我不得用身体接触医院里的任何人。他们可不希望我把病菌从一个病人传播到另一个病人身上。我能理解他们实施“不准触摸”这一规定的理由,可我并不喜欢它。我认为触摸是我们所能知道的最真诚的交流方式。书面文字、口头语言都可以撒谎,热烈的拥抱是不可能撒谎的。
我被告知,违反其中任何一条规定都意味着我会失去这份工作。
我的“罗纳德日”进行到第四年年末的某一天,已经一整天涂着油彩的我走在医院的走廊上,正准备回家,这时传来一阵轻轻的叫喊声:“罗纳德,罗纳德。”
我停了下来。那微弱的、细细的声音来自一间半掩着门的病房。我推开房门,只见一个5岁上下的小男孩躺在他爸爸的怀里,身上连着的医疗仪器之多是我平生未曾见到过的。妈妈在另一头,旁边还有爷爷、奶奶和一位监护仪器的护士。
病房里的气氛使我知道病人的情况很严重。我问小男孩叫什么名字,他告诉我他叫比利,随后我为他变了些简单的戏法。当我后退着道别时,我问比利我还能为他做些什么。
“罗纳德,你愿意抱抱我吗?”
如此简单的一个请求。可我脑子里想到的却是我如果碰了他,便会丢掉工作。因此我告诉比利我此刻不能抱他,但提议和他一起给一幅图画着色。在完成了我俩都引以为豪的一件绝妙的艺术作品之后,比利再次要我抱抱他。这一
次,我的心在喊“抱抱他!”而我的理智却以更高的声音在喊:“不行!你要丢饭碗的。”
比利第二次叫我抱抱他时,我不得不思考为什么我就不能答应一个可能永远回不了家的小男孩的简单的请求呢。我问自己,为什么我会被以前从未见过、也许永远也不会再见的一个人在理智和感情上弄得心烦意乱、左右为难呢。
“抱一抱我。”这是非常简单的一个请求,然而……

杰夫·迈克马伦
我搜寻着能够让我离开的任何合理的回答,却一个也找不到。半晌,我才意识到在这种情况下,丢掉饭碗也许并不是我所惧怕的灾难。
难道丢掉饭碗是世界上最糟糕的事情吗?
我是否有足够的自信,如果真的丢掉饭碗,我能振作起来重新开始呢?回答是一个响亮、勇敢、坚定的“是”,我能振作起来重新开始。
那么风险何在呢?
只不过是如果丢了饭碗,可能不久我便会失去我的车子,继而是我的房子……说实话,我真的喜欢这些东西。但我意识到在我的生命尽头,车子将毫无价值,房子同样也毫无价值。唯一具有不变价值的东西是经历。一旦我提醒自己我来医院的真正目的就是为了给一个不快乐的环境带去一点快乐,我便意识到其实我根本没有面临任何风险。
我把孩子的爸爸、妈妈、爷爷、奶奶送出病房,让我的两个麦当劳陪同人员回到面包车上。监护医疗仪器的护士留下了,但比利叫她面对墙角而立。然后我俯身抱起这个精灵般的小人儿。他是如此的虚弱,如此的惊恐。我们又哭又笑地过了45分钟,谈论着让他担忧的那些事情。
比利担心没有他带路,明年他的小弟弟从幼儿园回家会迷路。他担心他的狗再也找不到骨头吃,因为他在回医院前把骨头藏在了家里的什么地方,而现在却想不起到底藏在哪儿了。
这些就是一个知道自己回不了家的小男孩所担心的事情。
离开病房时,我脸上化装用的油彩被泪水浸湿,顺颈而下。我给孩子的父母留下了我的真实姓名和电话号码(对一个扮演罗纳德·麦克唐纳的员工而言,这又是一个自动解雇的理由,但我想我肯定是要走的,而且也不会因此失去
什么),并告诉他们如果有什么事情是麦当劳公司或我本人能够做的,给我来个电话就行了。这之后不到48个小时,我就接到比利母亲的来电。她告诉我比利已经去世。她和她丈夫只是想感谢我给他们孩子的生活带来了变化。
比利的母亲告诉我那天我离开病房后不久,比利看着她说:“妈妈,我今年就是见不到圣诞老人我也不在乎了,因为罗纳德抱过我了。”
有时,我们必须做眼前应该做的事情,而不应顾及意识到的风险。只有经历才有价值,而人们约束其经历的最大原因就是经历中包含的风险。
必须申明的是,麦当劳公司还是发现了比利和我的事,但考虑到当时的情况,还是允许我保留了工作。我在继续扮演罗纳德角色一年后才离开了麦当劳公司,开始向人们讲述比利的故事,告诉人们冒险有多么重要。

1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account;however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency.They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary.And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary.Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son;it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.Ex.3 Words in use 1.condense 2.exceed 3.deficit 4.exposure 5.asset 6.adequate 7.competent 8.adjusting 9.precisely 10.beneficial Ex.4 Word building-al/-ial: managerial/editorial/substance/survival/tradition/margin-cy : consistency/accuracy/efficient-y : recovery/ministry/assembly Ex.5 Word building 1.editorial 2.recovery 3.accuracy 4.substance 5.managerial 6.margin 7.assembly 8.Ministry 9.survival 10.tradition 11.consistency 12.efficient Ex.6 Banked cloze 1-5: L C J A I 6-10: O N E H F Ex.7 Expressions in use 1.feel obliged to 2.be serious about 3.run into 4.distinguish between 5.thrust upon 6.was allergic to 7.get lost 8.be attracted to 9.make sense 10.looked upon as Ex.8 Structured writing Some bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all.My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses.Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing.For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differences between used to and be used to on us.Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so.He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize.However, they could never stay in my head.I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams.I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar.Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation 人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。与其他语言一样,英语也发生了很大的变化。英语的历史可以分为三个主要阶段:古英语,中古英语和现代英语。英语起源于公元5世纪,当时三个日耳曼部落入侵英国,他们对英语语言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世纪和现代社会初期,英语的影响遍及不列颠群岛。从17世纪初,它的影响力开始在世界各地显现。欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的重大变化。今天,由于美国电影、电视、音乐、贸易和技术、包括互联网的大受欢迎,美国英语的影响力尤其显著。
Ex.10 C-E Translation Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world.The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters.In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form.Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”.As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.Text B The great journey of learning 2.Understanding the text D.2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.C 8.D 4.Words in use mysterious 2.desperate 3.devise 4.negotiate 5.recalled 6.specifically 7.depict 8.Ignorance 9.Expand 10 confusion 5.Expressions in use apply to 2.in a bid to 3.end up 4.speaking of 5.get hold of 6.appealed to 7.leaving..behind 8.focus on EX.6 Sentence structure.even though it is important of the students to have a deep understanding of the texts, it doesn’t make any sense to read texts word for word from the beginning to the end as it is a matter of little importance to us, it doesn’t make much sense to argue out which is wrong or right or which is better or worse it makes no sense to compel children to obey their parents;instead, we should try to tell them what is right and what is wrong.EX.7.II might as well have stayed at home.We might as well have taken the train home So he might as well have told me all about it.Collocation: Warm-up essential framework 2.distinctive difference 3 high standards 4 valuable possessions 5 considerable frustration 6 acquire knowledge 7 overcome deficiencies 8 sketch thoughts 9 devise a scheme Ex.8 1 essential framework 2 proper vocabulary 3 excellent control 4 language deficit 5 high standards 6 language proficiency 7 acquire knowledge 8 competent communication 9 overcome deficiencies 10 sketch thoughts 11 effective communication 12 advanced vocabulary Unit 2 College-The ladder to success Text A The humanities:Out of date? Reading Comprehension 1.because English or history majors are considered less competitive when the job market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.2.because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment.3.since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before;in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.4.because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it.From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5.Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6.Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7.“Well-rounded human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8.Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.Language focus 3 1.promotes 2.accelerate 3.mystery 4.insight 5.boost 6.analysis 7.calculate 8.barriers 9.destruction 10.prospect 4 Promising Bearing Housing Objective Offend Exclude Excess Execute Intensify Identity 5 1.excess 2.bearing 3.objective 4.intensify 5.execute 6.promising 7.exclude 8.identity 9 offend 10.housing 6.1-5 CHDJB 6-10 LMGFA 7 1.are liable to 2.in favor of 3.is bound to 4.speculate about 5.invested…with 6.stand up for 7.in the form of 8.prepared for 9.in the company of 10 in succession 9 幕课是一种网络课程,它旨在通过网络实现广泛参与和开放接入。幕课是远程教育迈出的最新一步,现已在高等教育领域迅速引领潮流。通过这些课程,大学可以扩大影响的范围,从影响成千上万住在城里付学费的学生,扩展到惠及全球上百万的学生。除了拥有传统的课程资料,幕课还给使用者提供互动论坛,支持学生和讲师之间的交流。幕课能促进参与者之间的交流,使得多种观点、知识和技能涌现到课堂上来;它鼓励人们尝试之前不可能尝试的课程,甚至是尝试新的教育方式;它提供多种学习课程资料的方式,鼓励多模式学习,以各种学习风格满足学习者的需求;另外,幕课促进教学的改善,使技术在面对面授课中得以更好地应用。10 In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, the construction of digital education resources of our country has made great achievements.Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education.Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages.On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible;on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere.These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Unit 2 TextB What college bring us? Ex 1 1.Main idea: College has never been magical for everyone.Major detail: More high school graduates don’t fit the pattern of college.2.Main idea: We need to revise our attitudes and reform the system.Major detail: we only judge things based on our own college experiences.3.Main idea: College education seems to have wasted time and accumulated debt.Major detail: Close to 80 percent of new jobs can be performed by someone without a college degree.Ex.2 1C 2D 3C 4A 5D 6B 7B 8A Ex.3 1.It’s very true because the job market is becoming more competitive.Yes, without a college degree, one can end up with nothing to do.Sure, college brings students knowledge and personal growth.No, it’s not necessary to get a college degree to have a better career.Disagree, college is too expensive now for students and family to afford.2.More competitive.More knowledgeable.More confident.More opportunities.3.Traditional ideology.More promising future.High expectations of their children.4.Worth their money because it’s an investment that will pay off later.A waste of their money because the tuition is too high.Not sure if they’ll profit from the large sum they invested.5.Analytical ability.Critical thing skills.Broad knowledge.Ex.4 1.enroll 2 revise 3accumulate 4 accorded 5 evaluate 6.prime 7 confirm 8 shrinking 9 sufficient 10 recruit Ex.5 1.bother to 2.is available to 3.been compelled to 4.described…as 4.exposed…to 6.rather than 7 have something to do with 8 for its own sake Ex.6 1.A teacher, no matter how knowledgeable he is, cannot teach his students everything they want to know.2.No matter where you travel, you can always find someone to communicate with in English since English is an important language.3.No matter what work a person is doing, if he gives it his best each day, he creates lots of happiness for himself.Ex.7 1.Although the number of applications is small, there is little doubt that the program will help the students who really need financial aid.2.There is no doubt that computer crime is a very serious problem, so people think that all hackers need to be punished for their actions.3.Though the boy worked very hard and finally successfully passed the exam, there is no doubt that overwork and too much worry caused his illness.Ex.8 1 promising 2 worsens 3 shrinking 4 dominant 5 land 6 great 7 well-rounded 8 creative 9 elegant 10 constructive 11 skills 12 make Unit 3 Discovery of a new life stage Text A The humanities:Out of date? Ex.1 1.Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains.2.The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career.3.They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and having a career.4.Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend.As long as the economic situation continues its long slide, this new stage is unavoidable.5.Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6.They often resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home.Many also resort to computer games, iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7.Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s odyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction.8.The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better, both parents and their children can tackle this phase better.For parents, they can understand their children more;for children, they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude.Ex.3 1.peculiar 2.radical 3.phase 4.sensible 5.predict 6.labeled 7.resent 8.witnessed 9.equivalent 10.parallels Ex.4-ic Chaotic dramatic academy-ion Depression detection erosion Classification confuse cooperate dictate-ist Rightist journal Ex.5 1.journal 2.chaotic 3.cooperate 4.erosion 5.dramatic 6.confuse 7.academy 8.rightists 9.depression 10.dictate 11.detection 12.classification Ex.6 K E A C L I G N H O Ex.7 1.saddled with 2.back off 3.gives way to 4.resorted to 5.make allowances for 6.wonder at 7.prior to 8.based upon/on Ex.8 The odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people.Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many challenges from their parents.The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.First, they differ in their attitude toward life.Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation.They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders.Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance.Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things.For example, the parents’ generation never understood Elvis and the Beatles.Because they couldn’t understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”.Young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day.Wherever they go, they’ll have their iPod with them.In conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things.To fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other.Ex.9 作为美国文化价值体系的一个重要组成部分,“个人主义”受到大多数美国人的推崇。美国人认为家庭作为一个群体,其主要目的是促进家庭各成员的幸福。
与许多其他文化相比,美国家庭成员的主要职责,不是在社会上或经济上提高整个家庭的地位。人们通常认为,什么是对个人最好的要比什么是对家庭最好的更为重要。与自由相伴而来的是照顾自己的责任,因为所选择的自由承载了责任,即必须接受自己的选择所带来的后果。许多美国人给他们的孩子很多的自由,因为他们希望孩子们能够独立和自力更生。在美国人强调个人自由的同时,父母与孩子间平等的信念也对美国家庭产生了巨大的影响。Ex.10 Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society.Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being.With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years.It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue.The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range.It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes.Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth.Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 3 Text B Finding my way back home Understanding the text 2 1.A 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.D 7.D 8.C Words in use 4 1.hollow 2.restless 3.demonstrate 4.exiled 5.miserable 6.commercial

story.She didn’t expect that she would end up marrying Butch.He became her boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend.She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2.Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her all night long.He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight.He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3.Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening.She didn’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4.Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun.In her opinion, college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5.Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking of herself as a traditional girl.6.It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situation.The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university.7.Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core.And they had a pure and responsible relationship for seven years.8.The author and her husband’s faithful

美国和欧洲各国都会庆祝2月14日的情人节。这是一个充满爱情和浪漫的节日,恋人之间通常都会交换情人卡和爱情信物。关于这个节日的起源有着不同的说法。一个传说是罗马人把一个叫圣瓦伦丁的神父关进了监狱,因为他拒绝相信罗马神。2月14日那天,瓦伦丁被处死,不仅因为他是基督徒,而且因为他曾治愈了一位监狱看守双目失明的女儿。他在被处死的前一晚上给她写了一封署名“你的瓦伦丁”的告别信。后来,2月14日就成了一个人们可以为他们的情人展示感情的节日。现在,人们以不同的方式庆祝情人节,他们发送贺卡、鲜花,赠送巧克力或其他礼品,或共进浪漫的晚餐。现在这个节日已流行世界各地。在中国,这个节日也越来越受年轻人的欢迎。Ex.10

gifts to their lovers.As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”.The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid.The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd.So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi.On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage.But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing.All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.Unit 4 Text B Saving the date Reading Skills 1 1.They became romantically attracted to each other.(para.5)2.share the dating expense or split the money

gone quickly if the person only spends.However, some people think the purpose of life is to enjoy moment, so they spend all they have earned.Even though Bryan and Peter are close friends, their spending habits are very different.Bryan is very careful about using his pocket money.He only spends money when it’s necessary.For example, when his pocket money is only $50,he may spend $20 on necessary stationery for schoolwork.He will try to deposit the remaining $30 in his savings account.In his opinion, though the amount is small, it will help him for a possible rainy day since people never know what could happen in the future.Unlike Bryan, Peter usually spends money at will.He often purchases expensive electronic products such as an iPhone and iPad.Sometimes, he might buy himself an expensive brand-name shirt or a pair of expensive brand-name shoes.Different from Byan, he never deposits extra money in a bank after meeting his basic needs.To him, saving money in a bank is something silly because he believes that he can always earn big money after he gets a decent job in the future.All in all, Bryan and Peter are very different in the way they spend money.Spending money wisely and saving extra money for future urgent needs enable students to manage their finance and fully concentrate on their study.They will also derive great pleasure from the way they handle their money.Ex.9 大发现年代,也被称为大勘探年代,是欧洲进行全球勘查的一个历史时期,始于15世纪初并一直持续到18世纪。这一时期通常被认为是中世纪和近代之间的桥梁,当时西方帝国主义刚兴起,欧洲各王国之间正在经济上互相竞争,他们想通过建立贸易路线和殖民地来寻找财富。在这一时期众多伟大的探险家中,最杰出的是克里斯托弗•哥伦布,因为他发现了新大陆。欧洲的海外扩张导致了殖民帝国的崛起,旧大陆与新大陆的接触也促进了两边的互相交换:大量的植物、动物、食物、文化等得到迁移。这代表了历史上生态、农业和文化在全球范围内最重大的活动之一。欧洲大勘探让绘制全球性的世界地图成为可能,从而使人们看到一个新的世界与古老的文明正遥相呼应。Ex.10 The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia.This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”.As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization.Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road).The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries.Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Unit5 Text B A$3,000 dictionary Reading Skills 1 2.Denotation: examine a place or area in order to get information

Do we always behave rationally? Certainly not.There are a lot of people who behave irrationally, causing problems to themselves as well as to others.Irrational behavior is part of human nature, but as MIT Professor Ariely has discovered, people tend to behave irrationally in a predictable fashion.Though we cannot explain the exact cause behind irrational behavior, we know that it is a manner of behavior not based on logic and reasoning.I would like to give you an example of irrational behavior.If a person has heard about someone suffering from some disease, he will start thinking that he may suffer from the same disease.This is irrational and illogical behavior.I don't think this behavior is always intentional.Reading comprehension Understanding the text 1 1 He was imposing on his troops a necessary sacrifice to achieve victory over their opponents.By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say “NO” to any opportunities that came to them.In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash.They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cash earnings.What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computer in the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegate tasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attention in a more concentrated fashion.They will have more with fewer, carefully chosen options.Critical thinking 2 1 ~ Surprising but very strategic and visionary.~ Reflection of his unique foresight and wisdom.~ Knowledgeable about winning battles.~ Experienced in fighting with enemies.2 ~ Interesting and thought-provoking.~ Reflect students' mentality.~ Meaningful and valid.~ May not be convincing to some people.3 ~ Both consequences are surprising.~ Both are about choices and decision-making.~ Both have to do with strategies.~ Both focus on human's mentality.4 ~ Afraid of losing potential opportunities.~ Too greedy and too ambitious.~ Over-confident about their real capacity.~ More choices, better chances.5 ~ Fewer options, more focused concentration.~ Fewer choices, better quality.~ Everything has two sides.~ Too much greed ends up with nothing.Language focus 3 1 implement 2 rival 3 motivating 4 discarded 5 fluctuating 6 prejudiced 7 restore 8 enlightening 9

causing problems to themselves as well as to others.It's hard to analyze the exact causes behind irrational behavior, but we know that it is a manner of behavior that is not based on logic and reasoning.Irrational behavior is caused by various factors but two stand out.The first main factor that contributes to irrational behavior is uncontrolled emotions.Irrational people take offense or get angry before the actual situation occurs.They become anxious and express exaggerated emotions such as crying and shouting.They have unrealistic expectations, expecting everyone to like them and if someone does not, they feel angry and neglected.It is fairly common for people to show such signs of irrationality.Too much stress can also lead to irrational behavior.In fact, these days, stress is the major cause of physical as well as mental problems.Stress creates feelings of anger, irritation and frustration.For instance, when you spend a stressful day in the office, it makes you anxious.You start releasing your frustration or stress by screaming at your family members for small reasons like a badly prepared meal.That day you feel everything is wrong.In summary, uncontrolled emotions and too much stress can result in irrational behavior.To behave rationally is not an easy job because the behavior is internalized.However, to discover the source of your irrationality will help you behave more rationally.Translation 9 极简主义是指去掉多余的,仅保留需要的部分、用最简单的话来说,极简的生
活方式,就是生活得越简单越好,直到获得心灵的平静,这种简单既是精神上的,也是身体上的:这样的生活方式会减轻压力,带来更多自由时间.并增强幸福感、极简主义者会说.他们生活得更有意义了,更从容了,极简的生活方式让他们着眼于生活中更重要的事物:朋友、爱好、旅游和体验。当然,极简主义并不意味着拥有物质财富从本质上来讲有什么不对。现在的问题似乎在于,我们往往太重视所拥有的东西,而常常抛弃了健康、人与人之间的关系、我们的热情、个人成长,以及帮助他人的愿望。极简主义除了在我们的口常生活中可以得到应用,还存在于很多创意领域,包括艺术、建筑、没汁、舞蹈、电影、戏剧、音乐、时尚、摄影和文学等。10 National Happiness Index(NHI)is an index that measures how happy people are.It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people's livelihood and happiness in a country or region.With the fast growth of Chinese economy, the Chinese government has been paying more and more attention to people's living quality and the increase of happiness index.The government stresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve their economic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs.Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reform dividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people.All these measures will combine to effectively increase the NHI of our people.Unit 6 Text B When enough is enough

课文
1.It’s surgery of the soul, the loving, healing way to create new beginnings out of past pain.这是心灵的外科手术,充满爱心,疗效显著,可以摆脱过去的伤痛,开创新的起点。2.You are not alone.We all muddle our way through a world where even well-meaning people hurt one another.A friend betrays us;a parent abuses us;a spouse leaves us.然而,有此不幸者,绝非你一人。混沌尘世间,无人可独善其身;好心好意,也会互有伤害。会有朋友的背叛,会有父母的错怪,会有配偶的弃离。
3.Hate is our natural response to deep and unfair hurts.A woman wishes her former husband would be miserable with his new wife.A man whose friend has betrayed him hopes the friend will be fired from his job. 仇恨,是我们对刻骨铭心、天理难容的伤害的自然反应。女人会诅咒她的前夫与新妻子不得安生,男人会因朋友背叛而希望人家丢了饭碗。
4.Hate is a malignancy that festers and grows, stifling joy and threatening our health.It hurts the hater more than the hated.It must be cut out — for our own sake. 仇恨是一种会化脓、膨胀的恶性肿瘤,扼杀我们的快乐,威胁我们的健康;它对恨人者的伤害比对被恨者的伤害更大。为了我们自己,我们必须消除仇恨。
5.Confront your malice.None of us wants to admit that we hate someone, so we hide it from ourselves.But the fury denied rages beneath the surface and infects all our relationships. 直面你的怨意。没有人会承认自己仇恨某人,因此,我们都把仇恨藏在心底。但这种深藏的怒火在我们心底燃烧,感染着我们的人际关系。
6.Admitting our hate compels us to make a decision about the surgery of the soul we call forgiving.We must acknowledge what has happened, face up to the other person and say: “You did me wrong.”
承认心中所藏的仇恨,可促使我们决定对称之为“宽恕”的心灵做一次外科手术。我们必须承认既成的事实,勇敢地面对对方,说出:“你对不住我了!”
7.Separate the wrongdoer from the wrong.The Bible describes, in the ancient drama of atonement, how God took a bundle of human sins off man’s back, tied it to a goat, and sent the “scapegoat” to a “solitary land”. 区别对待犯错之人与所犯之错。《圣经》中记载了古代的赎罪情节,上帝从人类的脊背上集拢了一大捆罪恶,绑到了羊的身上,然后把这只“替罪羊”遣送到一个“荒无人烟的地方”。
8.Forgiving is finding a new vision of the person who has wronged us, the person stripped of his sins — who really lives beneath the cloak of his wrongdoing. 宽恕,就是找到一个新的视角看待那个曾经错待我们的人,那个与他所犯罪过剥离的人——实际上,他是生活在他以往过失的外衣之下。
宽恕意味着用一种新的眼光去审视伤害我们的人,排除他的过错,看看那不道德的外衣下究竟是一个什么样的人。
9.Persuasive arguments have been made against forgiving.Some say that forgiveness is unjust because the wrongdoer should not be let off the hook.Others say forgiveness is a sign of weakness.Bernard Shaw called it “a beggar’s refuge”. 有些巧言善辩之人反对宽恕。有人说:宽恕之举缺乏公正,因为不应该让犯错之人逃之夭夭。还有人说:宽恕之举是一种软弱的表现。肖伯纳称之为“乞丐的庇护所”。 10.Vengeance never evens the score.It ties both the injured and the injurer to an endless escalator of retaliation.
复仇永远不能让双方扯平,而只会把受害人和害人者绑在一台永不停息的相互报复的自动扶梯上。
11.Gandhi was right: If we all live by the “eye for an eye” brand of justice, the whole world will be blind. 甘地说的对:假如我们都生活在“以眼还眼(以其人之道还治其人之身)”的公正法则中,那么,整个世界都将受到蒙蔽/陷入黑暗。
12.Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said after World War II: “We must finally be reconciled with our foe, lest we both perish in the vicious circle of hatred.” 神学家莱因霍尔德·尼布尔在第二次世界大战后说:“我们必须最终与我们的敌人和解,不然,我们都将在仇恨的恶毒轮回中毁灭。”
‘Vicious circle’
13.To understand forgiveness, we should keep in mind that we are seldom merely sinned against. 要理解宽恕之举,我们应该时时牢记,我们很难得是单纯受到冤屈的一群。
14.You may contribute to your spouse’s infidelity by ignoring your partner’s needs and desires, or bring on your children’s rebellion by your cold judgments and hot temper. 你配偶的不忠,很可能是由于你对对方的需求和欲望视而不见;你孩子的反叛,很可能是因为你言辞冷酷、脾气暴躁。

2.The essence of success is that there’s never enough of it to go round in a zero-sum game where one person’s winning must be offset by another’s losing, one person’s joy offset by another’s disappointment.(Para.2)我们所生活的社会就像一个归零游戏,只要有人赢,就会有人输;只要有人感到幸福,就会有人感到沮丧。从来都不存在大家都成功而没有人失落的情况。这就是成功的核心因素。
3.In a different society, your disappointment might be something you could shrug away.But not in ours.(Para.2)假如你处在另一个社会里,你可以对你的沮丧置之不理,但是在我们这个社会里是无法回避的。
4.… when I got out of the service …(Para.6)……当我退役的时候……
5....men who had but recently put away their uniforms and identities: former platoon sergeants, bomber pilots, corporals, captains, lieutenants, commanders, majors — even a lieutenant colonel …(Para.7)
他们刚脱下军装,不再具有自己军人的身份,他们曾是:陆军副排长、轰炸机飞行员、下士、上尉、中尉、指挥官、陆军少校——甚至还有陆军中校……
6.Nor did they resent him for shifting suddenly from a friendly gear to a coercive one.(Para.8)他们也不因他突然从和蔼可亲的态度转向严厉苛刻的面孔而憎恨他。
7.To recognize them is to recognize that social labels are basically irrelevant and misleading.(Para.9)如果弄清了它们的真实意义我们就会明白社会标签本来就毫无关系,而且会误导人。
1.My heart aches every moment because everywhere I look I see piles of rubble where houses used to stand and lifeless bodies that once moved around with the joy of life inside them.我所到之处满目疮痍,楼房夷为瓦砾,活人成了死尸,生命的欢乐已然封存在这一具具尸体之内。这一切时时刻刻都在刺痛我的心。
2.Of course, I was like them, but I have changed my views since the last D-Day, when our regiment was assigned to protect London.当然,我也曾经和他们一样。但是自从上一个进攻日开始,我的想法改变了。当时我们团的任务是保卫伦敦。
Translate:
3.If I return home I vow to keep these soldier’s memories alive by telling their families they died bravely in an effort to save their country from turmoil.如果我能回国,我发誓一定要让这些战士英名长存。我要告诉他们的家人:他们为了保卫祖国,使之免受劫难,英勇地献出了自己的生命。
4.Humans do err, but that is no excuse for ending innocent lives and destroying whole countries!虽说人非圣贤,孰能无过,但是滥杀无辜,毁人国土,实在是天理难容!
1.Faced with the unconquerable linguistic problems, translators managed to deal with the differences between languages and thought of a vision that was similar to the original in spirit.面对不可逾越的语言障碍,译者们对语言的界限进行揣摩,并最终达成一个折中的解决方案。
2.Those best placed to help that process may not be the ones with the latest technology and state-of-the-art mobile phones, but those with the skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words spoken in many different languages.最有助于促进世界和平进程的也许不是那些掌握最新技术或使用最时髦的移动电话的人,而是那些掌握了理解许多不同语言的字面含义、隐含意义与超越词语本身意义的技巧的人。
