第三篇：大学英语读写教程3Unit3翻译
品德至上
1.海德中学的办学宗旨是：如果你向学生传授诸如求真、勇敢、正直、领导能力、好奇心和关心他人等美德的话，学生的学习成绩自然就会提高。该校的创始人约瑟夫·高尔德声称学校的教学很成功。海德中学位于缅因州巴思市，每年的学费高达1.8万美元，因其教导问题少年有方而闻名遐迩。
2.‚我们并不把自己看作一所专为某一类孩子而开设的学校，‛马尔科姆·高尔德说。他是约瑟夫的儿子，毕业于海德中学，现任海德中学校长。‚我们把帮助孩子培养一种生活方式看作自己的职责，办法是倡导一整套能影响所有孩子的价值观念。‛
3.现在，乔·高尔德（约瑟夫·高尔德）正试图将他尚有争议的‚品德第一‛的理念向旧城区的公立学校推广。这些学校愿意将用于传统教学计划的税金用于实施这一新的教学方法。海德公立学校第一个教学计划始于1992年9月。但几个月后，该计划即告暂停。教师们对教学计划的高要求以及高强度工作所带来的压力表示抗议。4.今年秋天，海德基金会计划在巴尔的摩启动初步的公立学校教学计划。教师要接受培训，以便今后能在整个巴尔的摩体系内胜任工作。美国其他学校的领导们也在关注这个教学计划。去年秋天，在家长的一片抗议声中，海德基金会在康涅狄格州纽黑文市郊区的一所中学内启动了一个引人注目的教学计划。当地居民担心该校可能招进来旧城区的少数民族学生和问题学生。5.就像在缅因州那样，求真也在康涅狄格州的这所中学得到广泛推崇。在一堂英语课上，11名学生用最后的5分钟展开激烈的讨论，依照1－10的评分标准相互评价他们当天的课堂表现。6.‚我得10分。‛
7.‚我有意见。你既没做语法作业，也没做拼写练习。‛ 8.‚那好，就7分吧。‛ 9.‚你只能得6分。‛
10.‚等等，我可是全力以赴的。‛ 11.‚是的，可你今天没提问。‛
12.在解释自己的教育方法时，乔·高尔德指出，对传统的教育体制不能只是改革。他说‚无论怎样改革‛，用马和马车‚是改革不出汽车的‛。海德中学认为‚每一个人都有自己的独特潜能‛，这种潜能的基础是品格而不是智力或财富。良知和苦干受到推崇。成功由不断进步来衡量，而不是由学习成绩来评定。学生必须相互负责。为了避免美国中学使用的其他品格培养方案所引发的争议，高尔德解释说，‚全力以赴‛这一概念并不是要强迫学生接受某一套道德原则或宗教观念。
13.海德中学的课程与那些为升入大学做准备的传统学校所开设的课程相似，包括英语、历史、数学和自然科学。但所有的学生都必须选修表演艺术和体育，还要提供社区服务。在每门课程中，学生都会得到一个综合了学习成绩和‚努力程度‛的分数。在巴思市，97%的海德中学毕业生都升入了大学本科。14.在海德中学的综合教育中，父母的参与是一个关键的组成部分。为了使孩子被该校录取，家长也必须同意接受并实践学校的思想和观点。家长们签约同意每月出席一次区域小组会议（共20个区域小组），每年去区域休养所三天，每年至少参加三次巴思市的研修班、讨论组和研讨会。在很多活动中，缅因州学生家长的出席率高达95%。乔和马尔科姆·高尔德都说，当孩子们见到自己的父母都在全力以赴时，他们也会竭尽全力。他们说，对许多家长而言，最困难的是让他们意识到自己的不足。
15.公立学校学生家长的活动计划仍在制定之中。这项工作的困难要大得多，因为很难使家长相信他们的参与很有价值。在纽黑文市录取的100名学生中，有30%左右的家长出席了各类特别会议。这一低出席率违背了他们在教学计划开始实施时所做的承诺，当时海德中学的官员曾与300个家庭进行了面谈。
16.巴思市一名在公立学校教书达14年之久的教师说，一旦问题得到解决，海德教学计划就会在公立学校中获得成功。他乐观地认为，一旦家长们投入到计划当中，他们就会成为孩子们日常行为的榜样，这与寄宿学校的学生家长完全不同。
17.一名曾任教于旧城区学校的教师如今在从事纽黑文教学计划。他说，教师也能从中受益。‚在这里，我们真正开始集中精力与每一个学生建立卓有成效的关系。我们的重点真的是先考虑师生关系，然后是师生共同探讨学业。而在传统的中学里，是先考虑教师和教材的关系，然后再考虑师生关系。‛师生关系在海德中学被进一步深化了。对教职员工的评估由学生来进行。
18.19岁的吉米·迪巴蒂斯塔今年5月将从巴思校区毕业，并准备升入大学。对此他感到惊奇。几年前，他还觉得自己的前途‚是在监狱，而不是在大学‛。迪巴蒂斯塔还记得他刚到海德中学时的情景。19.‚我来这儿时，见人就侮辱，就咒骂。其他每所学校都会说：‘滚出去！我们这儿不要你。’我来到这儿，他们却说：‘我们有几分喜欢这种活力，但并不喜欢它消极的一面，我们要将它转化成积极的东西。’‛
