新编大学英语综合教程1unit4

1、Unit4FreshStartIn-ClassReadingFreshStart新的初步当我父亲母亲开车离开，留下我可怜巴巴地站在泊车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是安然无事地回到宿舍。我感觉仿佛校园里的每一个人都在看着我。我拿定想法：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，希望他人不知道我是重生。次日清晨我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。但是，进了教室，我又遇到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？踌躇一再，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。“欢迎你们来听生物101课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还认为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后边直冒盗汗，摸出课程表查对了一下教室我走对了教室，却走错了教课楼。怎么办？上课

2、途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家一定会盯着我看。算了吧。我仍是稳坐在坐位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生相同仔细。下了课我感觉有点饿，便赶快去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无心中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失掉了均衡。就在我屁股着地的顷刻间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，而后停止在大学上课的第一天。摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想假如没有人看见我方才的窘相该有多好啊。可是，食堂里全部的学生都站了起来，鼓掌喝彩，我知道他们不单看见了方才的情形，并且下信心要我永久都不会忘记这一幕。接下来的三天里，我单独品味侮辱，用以充饥的也不过些从宿舍外的售货机上买来

3、的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感觉自己极需增补一些真实意义上的食品。或许三时节间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。我好不简单排队取了食品，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。忽然我听到一阵熟习的“哗啦”摔倒声。仰头看见一个可怜的家伙遭受了和我相同的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌喝彩的时候，我对他满怀怜悯。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出成功的姿势。我猜想他会像我相同溜出食堂，可他却转身从头盛一盘食品。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。我能否摔了个托盘，坐在教室的哪个地点，甚至能否走错了教室，有谁会在意呢？没有人在意。这不像在中学。在大学里，这些都没关紧急。我完整能够按自

4、己的意向行事。一旦意识到我不用考虑他人的希望，只需自己满意就行，我感觉豁然。我开始把大学看作一个美好的实验。我稍稍改变了自己的衣着，开始赏识爵士乐，还认定自己喜爱光着脚走路。在接下来的大学生活里，我不再试图做出什么姿态，而是自然而然。大学，在我看来，或许是独一一个出错误能够获得完整体谅的阶段（包含踩到番茄酱，摔了托盘）。于是，我利用这个时机来体验我认为自己可能会犯的全部过错。大学毕业已经三年了，我仍旧时有过错。此中的一些过错我甚至仍是获得了谅解。After-ClassReadingCollege-aNewBeginning大学一个新的初步“今日上午早些时候，我与一位同事通电话。他告诉我，今日我

5、不用到办公室来，由于正是重生入学的时候，校园里全部都乱套了。他说得没错。真的是一团糟。校园里有数百辆车，载着汗出如浆的重生、他们的家人、还有很多行李。父亲母亲们为何时候泊车、在哪里泊车、能否要泊车争吵不断。校警全力以赴指挥交通，可是他们知道，今日不得不同意人们违犯一些规则了。这是一年中最慌乱的日子，这一点毫无疑问。这也是我最喜爱的日子。”这是夏洛特J.帕特森在迎新致辞中的开场白。作为弗吉尼亚大学的一位心理学教授，帕特森对重生如数家珍：她认识他们的希望、梦想和顾忌。在开学的这天成为大学一年级学买卖味着什么？帕特森教授认为它意味着一个崭新的初步。她接着说：“它使我想起了积雪融化的初春节气。你不论踩

6、到哪里都会溅起水花。但即即是又冷又湿，我也没法使自己恼恨那些日子，由于它们明示着春季的到临。重生的到来让学校变得一团糟，但我相同没法厌烦这件事。重生到达镇上，就像绿色的新芽从四周冒出来，找寻阳光。当他们从宿舍的窗户里探出头来时，就仿佛古老的大树上绽出的新芽。或许有人会担忧阳光能否充分，土壤能否肥沃，霜冻能否降临，可是关于幼苗和大学重生来说，能够存活，能够跨进大学的校门，就足够了。“是的，今日是重生活的开始。昨天你们仍是妈妈的孩子，住在家里；今日，你们已经是大学的重生，开始独立生活了。重生！我喜爱这个称号。这个称呼自己让人想到一个问题。我们在读这个词时，应当把重音放在新上呢，还是放在生上？怎么读

7、都能够。不论你把成年看作是人生的一段旅途仍是新起点的到来，今日无疑是你们人生道路上的一大步。重生的欢欣和重生的忧虑都挂在我四周每一张年青的脸上。“大学是令人激动的时期，或许仍是你一世中最高兴的光阴，但同时也是进行很多重要调整和经历一些挫败的时期。此刻，大部分研究领域的竞争都已经特别强烈了。你们一定努力学习，做好充分准备，才能进入这些领域。信息爆炸对想要汲取全部信息的人提出了更高的要求。所以，对大学生活来说，愈来愈需要有一个安排更合理的初步。此刻，学校里针对重生的课程愈来愈受欢迎。作为重生，你们应当选修一些这样的课程，它们能帮助你们为未来学习难度更大的课程做准备。你们应当保证自己能够提升读、写、

8、说等各方面的能力，不要害怕那些迫使你思虑的课程。思虑能够令人喜悦并且大有裨益。同时，花一些时间享受生活放松一下，注意饮食，笑口常开。让大学生活如你所愿，成为美好而有价值的经历。祝大家好运！”课内阅读练习答案PartOnePreparation1TalkingAboutHighSchoolClassmatesSample?Amongthe54studentsinmyhighschoolclass,Imtheonlyoneenrolledinanationalkeyuniversity.Thereare14otherswhowereacceptedbyprovincialuniversitieso
