When you look ahead, you think you have more time than you need. For example, at the beginning of a semeste

2、r, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands. But toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties, so you get worried. What is the answer? Control !2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it wi

3、ll control you. If you don't make it work for you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one problem.3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time

4、you waste, the easier it is to go on wasting time. If you seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice.Message 1. Control time from the beginning.4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the beginning of the term. Message 2. Get the

5、 notebook habit.5 Go and buy a notebook today. Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the plan for the following week.Message 3. Be realistic.6 Often you know from experience h

6、ow long it takes you to write a short essay, to study for a quiz, or to review for a final exam. Whenyou plan time for these things, be realist c. Allow for unexpected things. Otherwise your entire plan may be upset.Message 4. Plan at least one hour for each hour in class.7 How much study time you p

7、lan for each classroom hour depends on four things: (1) your ability, (2) the difficulty of the class, (3) the grades you hope to achieve, and (4)how well you use your study time. One thing, however, is certain: you should plan at least one hour of study for each classroom hour. In many cases, two o

8、r three hours will be required.Message 5. Keep your plan flexible.8 It is important that you re-plan your time on a weekly basis so that you can make certain changes when necessary. For example, before mid-term or final exams, you will want togive more time to reviewing. A good plan must be a little

9、 flexible so that special projects can be done well.Message 6. Study for some time each class day.9 Somesolid work each day is better than many study hours one day and nothing the next. When you work out your schedule, try to include at least two study hours each day. This will not only keep the stu

10、dy habit alive but also keep you up to date on your class assignments.Message 7. Free on Saturday - study on Sunday.10 It is good to stop all study activities for one full day. Manystudents choose Saturday for sports or social activities. Sunday, on the other hand, seems to be the best studyday for

11、many students. It is a good day to catch up on back reading and other assignments.Lesson TwoHans Christian Andersen's Own Fairy Tale (I)Donald and Louise PeattieLearning Guide也许你不是出生于名门望族或书香门第，也许你生来并不聪慧，但只要你刻苦努力、坚持不 懈、发挥自己的专长，在适合你的领域一定会成功。闻名遐尔的丹麦作家安徒生的故事一一这只 从鸭圈里飞出来的天鹅本身的经历可能会对你有所启发。11 Once upon

12、 a time there was a poor boy who lived in Denmark. His father, a shoemaker, had died, and his mother had married again.12 One day the boy went to ask a favor of the Prince of Denmark. When the Prince asked him what he wanted, the boy said,“I want to write plays in poetry and to act at thenoseRoyal T

13、heater. " The Prince looked at the boy, at his big hands and feet, at his big and large serious eyes, and gave a sensible answer."It is one thing to act in plays,another to write them. I tell you this for your own good; learn a useful trade like shoemaking.”13 So the boy, who was not sensi

There he took what little money he had, said good-bye to his mother and his stepfather and started out to seek his fortune.He was sure that someday the nameHans Christian Andersen would be known all over Denmark.fairy tales! Hans Christian knew14 To believe such a story one wo

15、uld have to believe in many such tales. He had heard some of them from his father, who had worked hard at his trade, but liked to read better than to make shoes. In the evenings, he had read aloud from The Arabian Nights. His wife understood very little of the book, but the boy, pretending to sleep,

16、 understood every word.15 By day, Hans Christian went to a house where old women worked as weavers. There he listened to the tales that the womentold as they worked at their weaving. In those there were almost as many tales in Denmark as there were people to tell them.16 Among the tales told in the

17、town of Odense, where Andersen was born in 1805, was one about a fairy who brought death to those who danced with her. To this tale, Hans Chris later added a story from his own life.17 Once, when his father was still alive, a young lady ordered a pair of red shoes. When she refused to pay for them,

18、unhappiness filled the poor shoemaker's house. From that small tragedy and the story of the dancing fairy, the shoemaker's son years later wrote the story that millions of people now know as The Red Shoes. The genius of Andersen is that he put so much of everyday life into the wonder of his

19、fairy tales.18 When Hans Christian's mother was a little girl, she was sent out on the streets to beg. She did not want to beg, so she sat out of sight under one of the city bridges. She warmed her cold feet in her hands, for she had no shoes. She was afraid to go home. later, her son, in his pi

20、ty for her and his anger at the world, wrote the angry story She's No Good and the famous tale The Little Match Girl.days,tianYears19 Through his genius, he changed every early experience, even his father's death, intoa fairy tale. One cold day the boy had stood looking at the white patterns

21、 formed on the window by the frost. His father showed him a white, 'woman-like figure among the frost patterns. "That is the Snow Queen, “ said the shoemaker. "Soon she will be coming forme.A few months later he was dead. And years later, Andersen turned that sad experience into a fair

He was just fourteen years old at the time.find21 Whenhe arrived in the city, he went to see as many important people as he coulddancers, writers and theater people of Copenhagen. But none of the

25、little money from time to time for food and clothes. But Hans Christian bought little food and no clothes. Instead, he bought books and went to the theater.Lesson ThreeHans Christian Andersen's Own Fairy Tale ( n )Donald and Louise PeattieLearning Guide这只鸭圈里飞出的天鹅所讲的故事老少皆宜，虽然故事使用的是孩子们能听懂的语言、孩子们喜闻

26、乐见的情节，但却又包含生活真谛、寓意深长。功成名就的“丑小鸭”一如既往，保持着他那平常、善良的心态，对权贵不卑不亢，对以往没有善待他的人不计前嫌。他把爱献给上帝，献给人类。1 In Copenhagen, Hans Christian lived in an attic in an old house, where he had a good view of the city. But there was one big fact that he could not see right under his own nose. The plays and poetry that he wrote

27、 were not very good.2 Hans Christian made friends with a few kind people. Among them was Jonas Collin of the Royal Theater. This kind man collected funds from friends to send the young writer to school. Hans felt most at ease with children. He ate his dinner in turn at the homes of six friends. In e

28、ach home the children begged him for stories.3 Hans told a tale so vividly that you could see and hear toy soldiers marching and toy horses galloping. And he could make the most wonderful papercuts. These are kept today in the Andersen Museum, which is in the house where he was born in Odense.4 Ande

29、rsen remained single all his life. The good Collin familythree generations ofthem became all the family he was ever to have. They all loved him, but they advised him not to write any more poetry and plays, and to try to get a government job. They talked as he later made the animals talk in his stori

30、es: "I tell you this for your own good,"said the Hen to the Ugly Duckling,“you should learn to lay eggs like me. " In The UglyDuckling Hans Christian told the story of his own life.5 When his first book of fairy tales was published in 1835, Andersen didn't think it would be succes

31、sful, but children read the stories and wanted more. So, encouraged bytheir interest, he began what we know today as his great work. For 37 years, a new bookof Andersen's fairy tales came out each Christmas. The books were full of everyday truth, of wonder, of sad beauty, of humor. Children and

32、their parents had never read such tales before.6 Andersen's tales are a poet's way of telling us the truth about ourselves. He looked deeply into the heart of things. Even in a child's toy lost in the street, he could see some story with the light of gold in it. All of us laugh at the hu

33、mor of The Emperor'sNew Clothes, but we remember the story every time men pretend to be something that they are not.7 Although he was now famous, he was more kind-hearted than ever. One day on the street he met a man who had once treated him badly. The old and unhappy man said that he was sorry

34、for what he had done. Andersen forgave the man and comforted him. The Prince who had told Andersen to learn a useful trade was now the King. He invited the writer to his palace and told him that he might ask for any favor. Andersen replied simply, "But I don't need anything at all."8 H

35、e was already loved all over the world. The awkward figure and kind ugly face had becomeso famous that his friends, the children, recognized him wherever he was. His books were translated into many different languages and read all over the world. He was received at the royal courts of Europe and adm

36、ired by many kings.9 The greatest writers of the day, from Dickens to Victor Hugo, looked upon him as oneu areof themselves. Among them, he at last learned happily that "it doesn't matter if yo born in a duck-yard, as long as you come from a swan's egg."ords:10 Happiest of all was

37、the day he returned to the "duck-yard," nearly 50 years after he had left it. All Odense took part in the great celebration for the shoemaker's son who was now the prince of fairy tales. A great dinner was held in his honor. That night, hundreds of people came to his window and called

38、to him.What was then in his full heart that gentle heart that had been lonely for so long was best expressed in his own w "To God and man, my thanks, my love."Lesson FourThis LifeSidney PoitierLearning Guide看过猜一猜谁来吃晚饭或在炎热的夏夜里的人一定会对美国著名黑人演员悉尼 埃的演技赞叹不已。可是你是否知道他在试图进入演艺圈时，曾被导演轰下舞台，因为他连台词 都不会念一

39、一不认识的字太多。他又是怎样迈开第一步的呢？且听他娓娓道来。1 It is the first time I have ever been on a stage I don't even know what a stage looks like but I'm up there now and I open this "script," but I don't know what it is. The director tells me to read the part of" John. " Everywhere I see &

40、quot;John" I must readeverything under that.2 Then I see him sitting in a front seat staring at me with the strangest look. He says, "Get off that stage." I say, "What do you mean?" He says, "Just come on down off that stage and stop wasting my time. You're no actor

41、. You don't even know how to read."3 I leave and walk off down 135th Street saying to myself, "You can hardly read. Youcan't be an actor and you' re not able to read." I begin to think about what he' s saidto me. Now I know I can't read too well. Here I am, eightee

42、n years of age, and if I liveto be eighty, for the next sixty-two years I'm going to be a dishwasher. I'm not goingto be able to make people notice me.4 During the next six months, I spent as much time as possible reading. One of therestaurants I worked in during that period was in Astoria,

43、Long Island. The work was hard and heavy, but we would have most of the dishes cleared away by 11:00 or 11:15 p.m. It was my custom to sit out near the kitchen door and read the newspaper.Do you5 At the waiters' table there was an old Jewish man who used to watch me trying to read that paper. I

44、asked him one night what a word meant, and he told me. I thanked him and went back to my paper. He went on watching me for a few seconds and then said,run across a lot of words you don't understand?I said, "A lotbecause I'm justbeginning to learn to read well,"and he said,"I&#

45、39;ll sit with you here and work with you for a while."When6 So at about eleven every night when he sat down for his meal, I would come out of the kitchen and sit down next to him and read articles from the front page of the paper.I ran into a word I didn't know (and I didn't know half

46、of the article, because any word longer than a couple of syllables gave me trouble) be explained the meaning of the word and gave methe pronunciation. Then he' d send meback to the sentence so I could understand the word in context.7 Then I would take the paper away with me, armed now with the m

47、eaning of those words, and reread and reread the article so that the meaning of those words would get locked into my memory. Every evening we did that.8 I stayed there at that job for about five or six weeks and I learned from him a way to study, and then I went off to other jobs. I have never been

48、able to thank him properly because I never knew then what an enormous contribution he was making to my life. He was wonderful, and a little bit of him is in everything I do.9 After that, I always looked for the meaning of words, and when I ran into words Iand.couldn't pronounce and didn't un

49、derstand, I would work on them until I began to underst I would keep going over and over the sentence they were in, and after a while I wouldbegin to get an idea of what the word meant just by repeating the sentence.

An elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance rushed him to Kings County Hospital. There, when he c

51、ame to now and again, the man repeatedly called for his son.2 From a worn letter found in his pocket, an emergency-room nurse learned that his son was a Marine stationed in North Carolina. It seemed there were no other relatives.3 Someone at the hospital called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn, and

52、a request forthe boy to rush to Brooklyn was sent to the Red Cross director of the North Carolina Marine Corps camp. Because time was short the patient was dying the Red Cross man and officer set out in a jeep. They found the young man wading through some marshes in a military exercise. He was rushe

54、d man. She had to repeat the words severaltimes before the patient's eyes opened. The medicine he had been given because of the pain from his heart attack madehis eyes weak and he only dimly saw the young manin Marine Corps uniform standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The M

55、arine wrapped his strong fingers around the old man's limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair, so the Marine could sit by the bed.6 Nights are long in hospitals, but all through the night the young Marine sat therein the dimly-lit ward, holding the old

56、 man's hand and offering words of hope and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine rest for a while. He refused.7 Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was there, but he paid no attention to her and the night noises of the hospital the clanking of an oxygen tank,

57、the laughter of night-staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans and snores of other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son through most of the night.8 It was nearly dawn when the patient died . The Marine pl

While she did what she had to do , he smoked a cigarette his first since he got to the hospital.9 Finally , she returned to the nurse's station, where he was waiting .
