When my parents drove off, leaving me alone on the campus, I was at a loss as to what to do. No matter how I tried to look

27、mature, I just couldnt possibly get rid of the feeling of being a freshman. I spent several hours seeking out each of my classrooms. The next morning, I sat at the front, cracked my anthology of American Literature, and got ready for the lecture in energetic demeanor. But I realized that I was sitti

28、ng in the wrong room when the professor said: “Welcome to the biology lectures.” It was with some sort of iron will that I maintained the pose of a biology major until the end of the lecture. After class, I felt that my stomach needed a little nourishment, so I hurried to the cafeteria. But unfortun

29、ately, when I was heading for a table with my food tray, my feet slipped, my food tray tipped and I lost my balance and fell flat on the floor. For days, I was obsessed with a sense of humiliation. Later on, I came to realize that I was taking such trivial incidents too much to heart. In university,

30、 it is more important to be yourself and find your real self than to try to do everything perfectly. 我上大学的头几今天颇为难忘。爸妈驾车离开，将我独自留在校园里，我手足无措。不管如何努力装成熟，我就是摆脱不了大一新生的感觉。我花了好几个小时，搞清了我选修课程所在的各个教室。第二天早上，我坐在教室的前排，打开美国文学选集，抖擞精神准备听课。但老师却说“欢迎选修生物课”，我意识到自己坐错了教室。我用铁一样的意志，摆出了一副生物专业学生的姿态，一直坚持到讲座结束。下课以后，我感到我的胃需要加点营养，

31、于是匆匆赶往自助餐厅。但不幸的是，当我端着餐盘朝桌子走去时，脚底一滑，盘子翻倒，我失去了平衡，扑倒在地上。好几天，我都倍感羞辱。过后，我渐渐地意识到自己把这种微不足道的小事看得过重了。在大学里，重要的是做自然的 “ 我 ”，发现真正的“我”，而不是试图把一切做得尽善尽美。Unit 2 He was a classic, because he worked himself to death. He was the very person, as they all believed, who would have been naturally moved to the top spot if he

32、 could have lived for another five years. He had been consistently praised as a model for his colleagues. He worked six days a week, over ten hours a day. He confined his interests to his work only. Of course, he occasionally did some physical exercises to keep fit. He considered pastimes of any for

33、m a waste of time. He was just too busy to share any time with his children. As a result, he was somewhat distant from his children; at least, his children thought so. However, he meant so much to his company and everyone in the company loved him and even admired him, for he was almost perfect in th

34、eir eyes. But who would help the widowed wife and orphaned children clear up the mess in the family he left behind him? 他是一个经典人物，因为他是工作累死的，他们都相信，假如他能多活5年的话，将自然被提拔为第一把手。他一直被誉为同事们的典范。他一周工作6天，一天工作10多个小时，他的兴趣只限于工作。当然，他偶尔锻炼一下，以保持身体健康。他将任何形式的娱乐活动都视作浪费时间。他太忙了，没有时间和孩子们待在一起，结果跟孩子们有点儿疏远了，至少他的孩子们是这么想的。然而，他对公司来

35、说却十分重要，公司里每个人都爱他，甚至崇拜他，因为在他们眼里，他几乎完美。但是，谁来帮助这孤儿寡母收拾他去世后的残局呢？Unit 3 About three years ago, my wife and I felt fed up with the hustle and bustle in the big city, so we decided to settle down in a small town, which is sedate and pleasant. We enjoy our life, for it is an easy place to go about ones busi

36、ness on foot. I often walk around and when in the mood, I stop at the café for a drink or at the Continental Theater for a play. But some people seem not to understand my eccentric behavior. I prefer to walk whenever possible, which is beyond most of them, for they depend on cars too heavily. S

37、ometimes its almost ludicrous that they choose to drive even if it is only a ten minutes walk. They may ask me if I need a ride in their cars when Im strolling alone. However, I believe that the car is the death of legs. In this society, the majority dominates. I realize that Im possibly the only pe

38、rson to entertain the notion of covering a short distance on foot and its why I sometimes find myself in trouble now and then. For instance, many stores have cleared the grounds right before them for shoppers to park cars, for what they care about is but commercial triumph. 大约三年前，我和我妻子对大城市的嘈杂生活感到厌倦，

39、因此，决定在一个小镇落户，那里安静宜人。现在我们的生活很好，因为这地方方便，办点儿事步行去就行。我经常四处走走，心情好的时候，在咖啡店歇一下，喝杯饮料，或在洲际戏院停住脚步，看一场戏。但是，有些人似乎不理解我的怪癖行为。我喜欢尽可能地多走路，这是大部分人所不能理解的，因为他们太过于依赖车子了。有时，几乎到了荒唐滑稽的程度，即使只是10分钟步行的路程，他们仍然喜欢驾车。有时，我在独自散步，他们会问我是否需要搭车。但我认为，车子使腿脚功能退化。在这个社会里，多数人占据主导地位。我意识到，我或许是唯一主张短距离步行的人，这也就是我不时地遇到麻烦的原因。比如：许多商店把门前清理出来，只容顾客停车，店家

40、关心的只是商业成功。Unit 4 Some people believe that fun prevails over everything else in life. They go so far as to exclude anything serious from consideration. They never raise such questions as whether it is moral, honest or necessary. Of course, a lot of things are fun indeed. Family outings are fun; playi

41、ng a game of basketball is fun; and chatting over a cup of coffee is fun. But if you regard fun as a must in life, you are bound to look for more and more thrilling ways to supply it, among which one particular way is to step up the level of danger or alcohol consumption constantly, so as to manage

42、to have a little fun. You should avoid blaspheming fun or the price of the excess could be the absence of fun no matter how hard you try. So the correct way is to treat fun reverently, so that you may have some fresh fun now and then. 有些人认为，生活中乐趣胜过其他一切事情。他们甚至从不考虑严肃的事，不考虑这事是否合乎道德，是否关乎诚信或是否实属必要等（而只关心是

43、否好玩）。当然，许多事确实有乐趣。全家郊游有乐趣，打场篮球有乐趣，喝着咖啡聊天有乐趣。但是，如果你把找乐子看成生活中必不可少的东西的话，你必然会用越来越刺激的方法来为自己提供乐趣，典型做法是玩儿更险的，要么喝更多酒精。你不应亵渎乐趣，否则，不管你如何努力，就是没有乐趣。这就是“过”的代价。正确的方法是带着一份敬意来看待乐趣，这样，你时常可以感受到一点新鲜的乐趣。Unit 5 The results of some surveys conducted in America show that most people tell lies to varying degrees, for variou

44、s reasons. Sometimes they lie to make others happy. For example, one may pretend to be more positive of a friend or spouse than he or she really is. Sometimes they lie to promote themselves, which is getting popular. Sometimes they lie to avoid hurting others, particularly when the unvarnished truth

45、 is perhaps too hard to accept. Some people regard lies as a necessary social lubricant. Anyway, they lie to hide truth. Views on lies vary from person to person. Some people hold that falsehood, even if seemingly harmless, could have some unforeseen consequences. After the initial lie, one needs to

46、 tell more lies to cover up the first one, which may become a heavy mental burden in the end. One philosopher warns that one can put himself on a slippery slope if one lies, as his psychological barriers wear down. But some other people hold that we dont have to avoid all white lies at all cost, for

47、 a white lie could be only an exchange of the principle of trust with the principle of caring. What is your view? 美国有调查表明，多数人出于不同的原因、在不同程度上说过谎，有时，他们说谎是为了让别人高兴。比如：装出积极的态度来肯定朋友或配偶，实际上他 / 她内心却没有如此认可。有时，他们说谎是为了提升自己。这种情况现在越来越普遍了。有时，是为了避免伤害别人，当未加粉饰的实情难以接受的时候更是如此。有人则把说谎看作一种必要的社交润滑剂。不管怎么说，说谎都是为了掩饰实情。关于说谎，不同

48、的人有不同的观点。有些人认为，假话，即使是看上去无害的假话，也可能带来预料不到的后果。一个人说了第一个谎话之后，他就需要说更多的谎话来掩饰最初的谎话，最后会变成沉重的精神负担。一位哲学家警告说，如果一个人说谎，他就（等于）把自己置于一个溜滑的斜坡上，因为他的心理障碍减轻了。但是，另一些人则认为，我们不必不惜一切代价去避免所有善意的谎言，因为一个善意的谎言可能仅仅是用牺牲信任而去换取关心和爱护而已。对此你持什么观点呢？Unit 6 Poetry is as universal as human language and almost as ancient. In some ways readin

49、g poetry is much like reading fiction: we observe details and language, make connections and inferences, and draw conclusions. And yet there is something different about reading poems. More than fiction, poetry is an art of condensation and implication. We should read a poem more than once, for a go

50、od poem will not yield its full meaning on a single reading. The best way to read a poem is just the opposite of the best way to read a newspaper. One reads a newspaper as rapidly as he can; one should read a poem as slowly as he can. Why should we read poetry? We think that we may derive pleasures

51、by reading poems. For example, we may find and enjoy the dreaminess of Spenser, the majority of Milton, the natural simplicity of Wordsworth, the melody of Keats and the narrative vigor of Byron, by reading their poetry. In addition, poets make men witty. Thats what Bacon tells us in his “Of Studies

52、.” 诗歌像语言一样普遍，并且几乎和语言一样古老。在某些方面，读诗很像读小说：我们注意细节和语言，搞清上下文的关系并作出推断，最后得出结论。然而，读诗又与平常的阅读有所不同。与小说比较，诗歌则是一种浓缩和含蓄的艺术。 读诗一遍是不够的，因为一首好诗，读一遍是不能读尽其意的。读诗的最佳方法与读报的最佳方法正好相反。读报是迅速浏览，读诗则是慢慢咀嚼。我们为什么要读诗呢？我们认为读诗可以得到快乐。比如：通过读诗，我们可以发现并享受斯宾塞的梦幻、弥尔顿的壮丽、华兹华斯的自然简洁、济慈的优美旋律以及拜伦的叙事魅力。另外，读诗使人明智灵秀，那是培根在论学习中告诉我们的。 Unit 7 A young ma

53、n, nervous and hesitant, pushed the door open and found himself in a spacious room. An old man sat in the rocking chair, reading a thick book of parchment which seemed a classic like Homer Odyssey. Without raising his head, the old man motioned with his finger for the young man to sit down on the ch

54、air beside him. The old man said, Mr. Austen, pleased to make your acquaintance.”“I am wondering whether you are dealing in, er, a certain mixture that has extraordinary effects,” the young man inquired. “My dear sir, in actuality, everything I sell here is more than ordinary, though my stock in tra

55、de is quite moderate.” “But do you”the young man was somewhat anxious.” “Here is liquid as colorless an water, imperceptible in coffee, tea, wine or any other drinks,” the old man interrupted him, “But it is labeled as an almighty cleaner, it could clean everything, ranging from a glove to life. I b

56、elieve lives occasionally need cleaning.” “Thats not what I need, Im afraid,” said the young man. “It doesnt matter. Still Id like to let you know its price. For one tiny spoonful. which is, of course. sufficient, I charge no less than six thousand dollars. Not a penny less.” The young man was fille

57、d with apprehension. But the old man continued, “However, it might be impractical or even cruel to charge so much for a love potion. Young people love a love potion, but more often than not, they, I, mean those who need a love potion, are not wealthy enough to afford it if it is priced so high. So i

58、t is priced incredibly low.” At this point, a smile lit up the young mans face. “The love potion has -” “It has extraordinary effects, ”the old man said, as if he could read the young mans mind. “The effects are permanent and the girl whom drinks the love potion see you as her sole interest in life.

59、 The young man left the house, loaded up with happiness. He was too green to know that he and young people like him, were mostly likely to make the man rich with their own money, for he might visit the old man repeatedly to buy expensive mixture with extraordinary effects in the future. 一个年轻人神情紧张而又犹豫，他推开门，走进一间宽敞的房间。一位老人坐在摇椅上，读着一本厚厚的羊皮纸制成的书，看上去像荷马的奥德赛之类的经典作品。老人没抬头，指了指旁边的椅子，示意年轻人坐下。老人说： “奥斯丁先生，很高兴认识你。”“我想问您是不是卖，呃，一种有着特殊效果的制剂。”年轻人问道。“我亲爱的先生，事实上，我这里卖的哪种东西都是不寻常的，虽然库存相当有限。”“但是你.”年轻人有点儿迫不及待。“这是一种像水一样的无色液体，化在咖啡里、茶里、葡萄酒里或者其他饮料里是看不出来的，”老人打断他的话。“但它被起名为万能清洁液，它能够清洁一切东西，从手套到生活。我相
