大学英语精读课的教学心得

本学期本人任教一年级大学英语课程，工作中自觉遵守教学规律，贯彻党的教育方针，以身作则，教书育人。关注本学科及相关的学术发展动态，刻苦钻研，努力提高自身业务水平，坚持学习，与同事进行交流合作，积极参加科组教研活动，例如到深圳职业技术学院参观学习，学院第二英语角活动，主动提出意见建议，促进教学教改。关心学院发展与建设，服从工作安排，遵守各规章纪律，保持全勤，参与学院的集体活动。以下是本人的几点教学心得：

我们的学生在中学阶段已经掌握了较系统的语法知识，故目前在教学中重点是提高学生的阅读理解能力，进而培养学生的书面表达能力。据学生反映，他们的难题主要是单词和课文内容。相应的教学方法是：

一、单独讲解单词。如果只是简单地解释词性、意思、词组，然后做翻译练习，不免显得枯燥，而且学生很难整节课都集中注意力，因而达不到良好教学效果。本人采用的方法是尽量地把本课单词有机地串联起来，帮助学生形成一种记忆链条，并且给他们定一个目标：Try to put everything in mind instead of on the notebook！例如，在这个单元中，主要探讨科学的发展及其对我们生活的影响。上课的时候，首先从手机（mobile phone）展开话题，由其体积大小、价格的变化，引出技术发展两个新词：technology，develop，（development），继而是技术发展的动力之一“竞争”（competition），而当今的竞争是激烈的（severe）、“全球性的”（global），创造力（inventivene）、自创精神（initiative）尤为重要，接下来讨论科技发展（technology development）对我们日常生活的影响或关联（relevance）。到此，让学生尝试用几句话把这些词串连起来：Technology develops at a rapid rate nowadays.Anyway, the rapid development has been brought about by the force of competition, which is severe and global, and needs initiative.Does the development have any relevance to our daily life? Sure.Ten years ago, it was impoible for a student to have a mobile phone.在讲解完一组相关的词后，让学生做课本的选词填空练习，巩固对单词词义的理解和掌握正确用法。其次，以游戏的方式练习词汇。由一或两名学生背对黑板，教师写上词或词组，全班同学给提示直到他们猜出词语。这样既活跃课堂又使学生有机会练习口头表达能力，也可锻炼当众表演的胆量。例如，dream一词，提示有：something in your mind when you sleep, sometimes it is true, sometimes it is imagination, people may appear, animal may also come into sight, you might be happy, might be frightened, even in horror„„大量旧词汇得到复习。

二、课文讲解。由于课是两节或三节连堂，如果按照传统的语言点、加语法、再加句子分析翻译，学生很难完全接受。较可行的方法是分成三部分。第一，先完成整篇的理解性问题，课本的“content question”，让学生了解课文大概。第二，语言点、语法结构讲解，分段落完成。学生们逐段阅读，留一定时间给他们提问，然后就学生忽视的内容个别提问、再总结，形成教与学的互动，促使学生思考。第三，完成第

一、第二阶段的教学后，再分析整篇文章的结构，每部分的main ideas，总结全文观点。让学生练习表达能力。同时回顾一些重要的细节或段落、句子，构成完整的篇章学习。部份故事性趣味性强的文章，采用分组表演，促进学生团对合作。很受欢迎。

三、课后练习：时间充裕的话，可让学生在课堂完成，再评讲，或者布置为家庭作业，课堂评讲。这也可作为语法、语言点的练习与复习。尽量运用本单元新学的知识，再与先前所掌握的作比较。

四、随堂测验。每讲完一小单元，如单词、语法或语言点之后，用十分钟左右进行随堂测验，可用口头或书面形式。可深化学生的记忆，达到良好的教学效果。

五、作业批改。学生首先关注的是分数，往往忽视错误部分，故批改时只圈出错的地方，学生自己改正后再上交，然后针对个别辅导。真正巩固知识。

以上是本人的教学心得。在今后的工作中，本人将继续努力，不断提高教学水平，高质量完成教学任务。

Teaching procedures:

Part I.Background information: Virginia Woolf is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of modernism as well as one of the pioneers of women’s liberation from patriarchy.She is known for her experimentation and innovation in novel writing.In her novel, emphasis is on the psychological realm of her characters and the moment-by-moment experience of living, which are depicted by the techniques of interior monologue and stream of consciousne.In this eay, Virginia Woolf gives a clear and convincing presentation of the obstacles facing profeional women.

Part II.Detailed study of the text

Part III.General analysis of the text

Para 1: In the profeion of literature, the author finds that there are fewer experiences peculiar to women than in other profeion because many women writers before her have made the road smooth.

Para 2: the author responds to the host’s suggestion that she should tell the audience something about her own profeional experiences.So she now tells her own story –how she became a book reviewer when she was a girl.

Para 3.the speaker focuses on the first obstacle to becoming a profeional women writer.She uses a figure of speech ―killing the Angel in the House‖ in describing her determination to get rid of the conventional role of women in her writing.

Para 4.after the Angel was dead, the question which remains to be answered is ―what is a woman?‖ it is a transitional link between the quthor’s first and second experience.

Paragraph 5.In this paragraph the author talks about her second experience in her profeion of literature.As a novelist, she wished to remain \"as unconscious as poible\" so that nothing might disturb or disquiet the imagination.But she was faced with the conflict between her own approach to art and the conventional approach expected of her by male critics.She believed that sex-consciousne was a great hindrance to women\'s writing.To illustrate this point, she employs a second figure of speech, \"the image of a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake.\"

Para 6.This paragraph sums up the author\'s two experiences, pointing out that the second obstacle is more difficult to overcome than the first.Women have many prejudices to overcome in the profeion of literature and especially in new profeions that women are entering.

Para.7.In this last paragraph Woolf concludes her speech by raising some important questions concerning the new role of women and the new relationship between men and women.

Teaching procedures:

Part I.Background Information: 1.about the author

2.about the article

Part II.Detailed study of the text

Part III.Analysis of the text:

Para 1. From this opening paragraph we readers can learn a number of important things:

(l) By saying \"It goes a long way back, some twenty years,\" the author tells us that the story took place in the past.

(2) The \"I\' here is the narrator, not the author, of the story, and the author is using the first-person narration in telling the story.As we read On, we will find this narrator is also the main character, the protagonist, of the story.

(3) Words like \"I was looking for myself\" and \"I am nobody but myself\" point out the central theme of the novel--searching for self-identity.

Para.2

This paragraph tells us a bit about the historical background against place.It also introduces a new character--the narrator\'s grandfather.On his deathbed, he said something that alarmed and puzzled the whole family.

Para 3

This paragraph is about the tremendous effect of the grandfather\'s words upon the narrator, Those words became a constant puzzle for him.As the old man said these words ironically, the boy couldn\'t understand him.Although the grandfather did not appear in the battle royal scene or any other events in the rest of the book, his words haunted the narrator at every important moment in his life.

Para 4

It tells us about the setting of the battle royal.The narrator was to give his speech at a smoker in a leading hotel in the town.The time is round 1950, the place is a hotel in a Southern town, and the occasion is a gathering of the leading white men of the town.Bearing these in mind will help us readers understand why things happened that way and what was the meaning of all this.

Para.5 Besides giving more details about the place, this paragraph introduces the people involved in the incident the town\'s big shots, who were \"wolfing down the buffet food, drinking beer and whisky and smoking black cigars,\" and the other black boys who were to take part, who were \"tough guys\".

Para 6 to 9

The main body of the battle royal incident is from Paragraph 4 to paragraph 9.It can be further divided into 4 subsections: the naked white girl\'s dance; the fight itself; the grabbing for the prize money; the narrator\'s speech.Paragraphs 6 to 9 form the first subsection in which the author describes the white girl\'s dance. Paras.10--28 They form the second subsection of the battle royal incident violent and brutal fight itself.Pay attention to the use of specific words narration realistic and vivid.

Paras.29--46 They describe how the white men further humiliated the black boys even after the battle royal was over.Instead of giving the money the boys were supposed to get for their performance, the white men made fun of them by making them scramble for the money on an electrified rug.This part adds to the general chaos of the whole scene.

Para 47--90 They form the last subsection of the whole battle royal incident.In this part the narrator finally got his chance to deliver his well-prepared speech.However, in the middle of his speech, he made a mistake, but everything went well in the end and he was given an award--a scholarship for college.

Para.91—94 They bring the story to a final end.The narrator was overjoyed with his triumph, and that night he dreamed of his grandfather and awoke with the old man’s laughter rining in his ears.

Part III.Questions about the article

1.Oppenteimer is called ― Father of the Atomic Bomb‖ and had been in charge of the Los Alamas nuclear laboratory for many years.Yet the author considers him as merely very good.Do you think the author is right and fair in relegating Oppenheimer to the merely very good?

2.Do you think it is right to say to be highly focused or not is the cause separating the great ones from the merely very good? What is your view?

3.How does the author manage to bring the people he wants to compare into the article?

Oppenheimer’s anecdote: Oppenheimer and dirac meeting

Gottingen, talking about poetry and physics

His decision to go to the conference

Spender’s being at the conference—Spender’s obseion with Auden—great versus merely very good.

4.How does the author develop the article?

He uses the 1981 conference as the benchmark and goes back to earlier times and in the last two paragraphs returns the scene to the time of writing.This technique of montage is used largely in cinema.

For example:

The 1981 conference and the author’s indecision—(flashback to 1925—1927) earlier life of Oppenheimer and his relations with Dirac—(back to 1981) the author’s decision: Spender and Auden—(flashback)Spender and Oppenheimer(1956)—(1958)Oppenheimer, Dirac and the author—(back to 1981) meeting with Spender—(bringing the scene to 1996) concluding remarks.

Part I.About the Author

N.Scott Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1934.Momaday belongs to a generation of American Indians born when most tribal communities had long ceased to exist as vital social organizations. His Kiowa ancestors shared with other Plains Indians the horrors of disease, military defeat, and cultural and religious deprivation in the 19th century.Their only chance of survival was to adapt themselves to new circumstances.Momaday’s grandfather, for example, adjusted to changing conditions by taking up farming, a decision preed upon him by the General Allotment Act of 1887.

Part II.Detailed study of the text

Part III.The analysis of the text

Para 1.the opening paragraph of the eay is a lyrical description of the author’s ancestral land, which plays a key role in his exploration of his Kiowa identity.

Para 2.the author explains his purpose of his visit to Rainy Mountain: to be at his grandmother’s grave.

Para 3.it sums up the history of the Kiowas as a Plains Native culture—the golden time and the decline in their history.

Para 4.it is about how the Kiowas migrated from western Montana and how the migration transformed the Kiowas. Para 5.the author returns to his grandmother again.Since she is the immediate reason for him to come to Rainy Mountain, she is the link between the author and his ancestors.

Para 6.The Kiowas felt a sense of confinement in Yellowstone, Montana.

Para 7.this paragraph is a depiction of the landscape which they came upon when they got out of the highlands in Montana.

Para 8.in this para the author describes Devil’s Tower and tells the Kiowas’s legend about it.

Para 9.the author tells about the last days of the Sun Dance culture by using his grandmother as a witne.

Para 10.for the first time, the author concentrates only on his grandmother’s story rather than mixing it with the history of the whole Kiowa tribe.Also for the first time, the author shifts the focus of depicting the lanscape to describing a person—his grandmother Aho as an old woman.

Para 11—12 paragraph 11 is about the old houses at Rainy Mountain, which the author’s grandmother and other Kiowas used to live in, but which are now empty.This paragraph serves as a transition between the depiction of Grandma Aho and the reunion at her house.

Para 11 and 12 describe the reunions that were once held at the grandmother’s house when the author was a child.We can see the author accepts change and lo as facts of life.He neither denies nor defies them.Imagination helps him strike a balance between them.So, after depicting his dead grandmother’s old house, he brings to life the joy and activity that once filled it.As a child Momaday took part in those events.By re-creating those scenes, he reminds himself of who he is.

推荐第3篇：大学英语精读第三册

Paage One A couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey.It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonably well-behaved kids from middle-cla families.I handled three claes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day.Teaching\'s the toughest job there is.In his new memoir, \"Teacher Man,\" Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, \"Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses.\" Not to mention writing a column.I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand any time.But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a cla of fifth graders, and you are sunk.The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for a twenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids.But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere.After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的) hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and leon plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills.According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three.If any busine had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it.This isn\'t any busine.It\'s the most important busine around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race.Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from busine practice, and it\'s a terrible fit.Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay (奖励工资).It\'s a concept that works fine if you\'re making toys, but kids aren\'t toys, and good teaching isn\'t an aembly line.26.What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers? 1\">They have to teach three claes at a time.2\">They have a very rewarding job.3\">They prefer to teach children from middle-cla families.4\">They have a very hard job to do.27.Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column? 1\">Teaching is like working on docks and warehouses.2\">Teaching demands full attention.3\">Teachers have to work with children.4\">Teachers have no chance to go traveling.28.What do new teachers find out after some practice? 1\">Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations.2\">They have to work during vacations to make ends meet.3\">They have to plan their time well to get everything done.4\">They can take a second or even a third job besides teaching. 29.We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks __________.1\">measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobs 2\">the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupations 3\">it\'s natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five years 4\">it\'s fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race 30.What does the author think of merit pay? 1\">It will make up for teachers\' low starting salaries.2\">It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers.3\">It is a good fix for current educational problems.4\">It is not suitable for the teaching profeion.

几年前,我花了一整天在新泽西的一所小学。这是一个很好的学校,平均一个正方形和坚实的建筑,充满了合理行为端正的来自中产阶级家庭的孩子。我处理了三个类,我交错的时候出了门我想躺下休息的一天。教学是最艰难的工作。在他新出版的回忆录中写道,“老师的人,”弗兰克•麦考特回忆说告诉他的学生,“教学是比在码头和仓库工作。“更不用说写一个专栏。我可以用我的下巴凝视到中间的距离(下巴)在我的手。但你精神上南走五分钟前的五年级学生,你沉没了。新老师今天让平均每年不到30000美元,这可能不是太糟糕了寻找一个二十来岁,没有抵押贷款(抵押贷款),也没有孩子。但很快新教师意识到他们可以赚更多的钱,而不是工作接近其他地方一样硬。一生的听证会后老传说轻松(舒适安逸的)时间和暑假,他们指出,早期的早晨是学生需要额外的帮助,晚上为测试修正和教案,周末和暑假是第二个,甚至第三个工作来支付账单。根据教育部,每五个老师离开后第一年,几乎两倍在三个之内离开。如果任何业务,周转率,有人会做一些聪明的和战略来解决它。这不是任何业务。这是最重要的业务,人类的景观的园丁。不幸的是,当前的处理问题方式在教育是直接取自商业实践,这是一个可怕的健康。而不是简单地承认,可悲的是起薪低且致力于增加他们,找到钱合理的重复提出,政客们已经浪费了几十年谈论所谓绩效工资(奖励工资)。这是一个概念,如果你制作玩具没问题,但是孩子不是玩具,良好的教学并不是一个生产线。

26岁。第一段,我们能从中推断出什么老师? 1 \" >他们教三个类。

2 \" >他们有一个很有成就感的工作。 3 >他们喜欢教来自中产阶级家庭的孩子。 4 \" >他们有一个非常困难的工作要做。 27。为什么作者说教学是比写专栏吗? 1 \" >教学是在码头和仓库工作。 2 \" >教学要求充分重视。 3 >老师和孩子们工作。 4 \" >教师没有机会去旅行。 28。新教师一些练习后发现什么? 1 \" >他们的起薪低于其他职业提供的。 2 \" >他们必须工作在假期来维持生计。 3 >他们必须计划时间完成一切。

4 \" >他们可以接受第二个甚至第三个工作除了教学。 29。我们可以推断出从第四段作者认为__________。 1 \" >应采取措施使教师在他们的工作 2 \" >教学周转率低比其他职业

3 \" >很自然的教师在三到五年内辞职 4 \" >公平打电话给老师的园丁的人类 30。作者认为绩效工资什么? 1 \" >将弥补教师低起薪。 2 \" >会降低教师的流动率。

3 \" >这是一个很好的解决当前教育问题。 4 \" >它是不适合教学工作。

Paage Two Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following paage: I was born with a disability that affects my sense of balance, causing me to walk with a limp.Not only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys.The disability has had its ups and downs.As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked.There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me and call me names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and early 80s.Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their clamates might walk, speak or seem noticeably different from themselves.Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance.The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down some of those barriers (障碍) that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no end.Now I look beyond what I can\'t do and focus on what I can.I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs.I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms.There is nothing in this world that comes easy.I must stand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead.People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability.But their compaion (怜悯) is misplaced.Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life and all that\'s around me.I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom (成长).So I decided to become an advocate (倡导者)on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored.I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community. 31.Why did children stare at the author when he was young? 1\">He walked in an uneven way.2\">He often lost his balance and fell to the ground.3\">He had an appearance quite different from others.4\">He spoke in a different way from others.32.It can be inferred from the paage that in the 1970s, disabled children ________.1\">were not accepted by their peers 2\">received different treatment at school 3\">had frequent fights with their clamates 4\">had ups and downs in their life 33.Being disabled, the author ________.1\">has lost many a battle in his life 2\">looks at life as a challenge 3\">focuses on the limitations he has to suffer 4\">is angry for the many opportunities he has lost 34.According to the author, his disability ________.1\">has given him a better understanding of life 2\">aroused sympathy from people around him 3\">is a constant barrier between him and the community 4\">has prevented him from growing up to a full person 35.Why did the author decide to become an advocate for the disabled? 1\">He still has a mouth to use and a mind to think.2\">He has got a powerful voice to change people\'s minds.3\">The signing of the ADA has failed to change a thing in their life.4\">Their rights are still being ignored.

我出生与一个残疾,影响我的平衡感,让我走路一瘸一拐。它不仅影响腿的功能,但它也有一个对肾脏的影响。残疾人都有其跌宕起伏。作为一个年轻的孩子,我记得别的孩子会盯着我,因为我走的方式。有很多次,我的同学们会嘲笑我,说我的名字只是因为缺乏了解,尤其是在70年代中期和80年代早期。孩子只是不愿意花时间去学习他们的一个同学为什么会走路,说话或看起来明显不同于自己。现在,我是一个成年人,我已经注意到,凝视着,名字已经开始褪色,和判断,一旦被负已经开始转向接受。签署《美国残疾人法案》(ADA)发挥了很大一部分在打破这些障碍(障碍),作为一个孩子,让我打一场战争,似乎没有尽头。现在我超越我不能做什么,关注什么。我知道限制打开大门已经关闭,显示其他方法来满足我们的需求。我一直看着的生活挑战,把握每个障碍张开双臂。在这个世界上没有什么是容易的。我必须忍受高和向前看,所以准备过的日子还在前头。人们常常感到抱歉对于那些天生就有某种类型的残疾。但是他们的同情心(怜悯)是错误的。是的,我可能无法或执行某些任务跑得一样快,但我的残疾使我的生活变得更好看,我周围的所有。我想被视为一种残疾,但作为一个人,并将继续,布鲁姆(成长)。所以我决定成为一个倡导者(倡导者)代表残疾人的美国人来说,争取我们的权利,长久以来被忽视了。我觉得只需要一个强有力的声音改变许多国家的想法,只要我有一个口使用和心灵思考我将继续工作在残疾人社区带来和平。 31日。为什么孩子盯着作者年轻时? 1 \" >他走以不均匀的方式。

2 \" >他经常失去平衡,摔倒在地。 3 \" >他出现完全不同于其他人。 4 \" >他说别人的方式不同。

Paage Three Questions 36-40 are based on the following paage: I\'m coming off this plane, and landing at London airport.I\'m looking around for a middle-aged woman, my Aunt Penn, who I\'ve seen in pictures.The photographs are out of date, but she looked like the type who would wear a big necklace (项链) and flat shoes, and maybe some kind of narrow dre in black or gray.But I\'m just gueing since the pictures only showed her face.Anyway, I\'m looking and looking and everyone\'s leaving and there\'s no signal on my phone and I\'m thinking, \"Oh great, I\'m going to be abandoned at the airport so that\'s two countries they don\'t want me in,\" when I notice everyone\'s gone except this kid who comes up to me and says, \"You must be Daisy.\" And when I look relieved he does too and says, \"I\'m Edmond.\" \"Hello Edmond,\" I say, \"nice to meet you.\" I look at him hard to try to get a feel for what my new life with my cousins might be like.Now let me tell you what he looks like before I forget because it\'s not exactly what you\'d expect from your average fourteen-year-old what with the cigarette and hair that looked like he cut it himself with a knife in the dead of night, but aside from that he\'s exactly like some kind of mutt, you know the ones you see at the dog shelter who are kind of hopeful and sweet and put their nose straight into your hand when they meet you with a certain kind of dignity and you know from that second that you\'re going to take him home? Well that\'s him.Only he took me home.I\'ll take your bag, he said, and even though he\'s about half a mile shorter than me and has arms about as thick as a dog leg, he grabs my bag, and I grab it back and say \"Where\'s your mom, is she in the car?\" And he smiles and takes a drag on his cigarette, which, even though I know smoking kills and all that, I think is a little bit cool, but maybe all the kids in England smoke cigarettes? I don\'t say anything in case it\'s a well-known fact that the smoking age in England is something like twelve and by making a big thing about it I\'ll end up looking like an idiot when I\'ve barely been here five minutes.Anyway, he says,\" Mum couldn\'t come to the airport because she\'s working, and everyone else seemed to be somewhere else, so I drove here myself.\" 36.Daisy flew to London to ________.1\">see England 2\">live with her aunt 3\">meet Edmond 4\">visit a friend 37.Before Edmond greeted her, Daisy felt ________.1\">anxious 2\">curious 3\">relieved 4\">excited 38.Edmond waited till everyone was gone before greeting Daisy because _______.1\">he did not want to talk to a girl before others 2\">he did not get Daisy\'s phone call 3\">he had never seen Daisy before 4\">he was looking for a middle-aged woman 39.What did Edmond look like in Daisy\'s eyes? 1\">An average 14-year-old.2\">A lost dog.3\">An old friend.4\">A man with dignity.40.Daisy did not make any comment about Edmond smoking because _______.1\">she knew all children in England smoke cigarettes 2\">she thought smoking did harm to one\'s health 3\">the smoking age in England is about twelve 4\">she did not want to make a fool of herself

Paage One Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following paage: I don\'t know why we are here.Ever since we came here, we have been treated very badly, and all I have heard since we have been here are people yelling in a language I don\'t understand, or people screaming as they were separated from loved ones.I have been made to lie on this hard, cold table, while strange men have taken away my crutches (拐杖).When I don\'t come when they call, they beat me repeatedly with a thick stick, and they laugh when I cry out for help.On bare skin it hurts so horribly, and I am so covered with bruises (瘀伤)and cuts it\'s a wonder I have any skin left! They call me an \"undesirable\", and they keep telling me that they have \"plans\" for me.Whenever I ask what they are going to do, they just laugh and tell me to shut up and to mind my own busine.I have had to have my hair shaved off, and I wear ill-fitting clothes; and I also have had to go around naked; and with other people looking at me, it makes me very unhappy.It is very cold here in these camps, and people have gotten sick; and disease has run rampant (猖獗).There is typhus about, and I am scared that I will get it next! I have eaten but very little, and what I ate tasted nasty.Life has been very hard for all of us, and every day, I see more and more bodies piling up.It is during these times when I wish I could see my mama or papa again, and I wish I were still at home in Warsaw! I wish I were still at home in my little bed or safe in mama\'s arms; I still can remember her telling me that she loved me so much, and that I was her angel (天使)! I also remember papa\'s strong arms and his big, booming laugh; but then the War came, and it changed everything; and now I am here, and I don\'t know what I may have done to deserve being here at Auschwitz!

Paage Two Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following paage: One of the first productive daydreamers may have been Archimedes.In the third century BC, the Greek scientist and inventor was taking a bath when he suddenly grasped a method for determining whether a gold crown was mixed with a cheaper metal.More recently, Sigmund Freud wrote extensively about the psychological importance of dreams, including daydreams.Scientists began investigating daydreaming as an invention and problem-solving tool about 40 years ago after they noticed famous inventors often reported making key discoveries while their minds wandered in relaxed states.Daydreaming is appreciated as a valuable tool in other areas as well.Visualization, for instance, in which athletes eentially daydream their own top performances, is widely used by athletes before important contests.Despite its history, however, daydreaming is in poor reputation today.They are often seen by many as a waste of time.Yet many of us daydream, and productively, too.A lot of people say they have their best ideas at night, when they get up in the morning, or during a long taxi ride.Basically when people are in a semi-trance (半催眠) state, their mind is free to wander and come up with new ideas.You can also daydream succefully while exercising, walking or bathing.In fact, it\'s a good idea to occupy at least part of your mind with something else while letting your daydreams spin (旋转).A typical exercise of the daydreamer is to imagine he or she is in various settings such as a tropical beach or preparing to dive into a pool of water.The idea is to provide the daydreamer with an experience that will help his or her real-world performance.For example, if a salesman has been rejected 20 times and is afraid of cold-calling (向素不相识的人打电话或上门推销商品), he can use daydreaming to help himself relax, so that he will experience a call with le stre and become open to learning new skills.Writing down or otherwise recording a dream seion is vital.One of the problems is that you have a great idea and it pops out of your head before you can record it.You also must carefully evaluate the real value of your ideas.At some point, you have to step back from the daydream and figure out what\'s reality.Daydreams aren\'t going to show you what\'s practical.That\'s not their job.Daydreams can even be dangerous if you fail to distinguish fantasy from reality.The risk is expecting too much and taking your daydreams too seriously.31.According to the author, Archimedes was the first man in history ________.1\">to appreciate daydreaming as a problem-solving tool 2\">to make a gold crown mixed with a cheaper metal 3\">to study the role of daydreaming in solving problems 4\">to solve a scientific problem while daydreaming 32.According to some scientists, many discoveries were made when the inventors ________.1\">worked at night 2\">dreamed a lot 3\">concentrated their attention on their work 4\">were in a relaxed state of mind 33.According to the paage, daydreaming is viewed by many today as ________.1\">dangerous to a driver\'s safety 2\">a waste of time 3\">an athlete\'s way to top performance 4\">valuable to succe 34.To benefit from daydreaming, the most important thing is ________.1\">to take daydreams seriously 2\">to imagine oneself in various beautiful settings 3\">to be open to learning new techniques and skills 4\">to write down the ideas that pop up in your mind 35.Daydreams can be dangerous if __________.1\">you can\'t tell what is practical and what is not 2\">you step back and try to figure out what is reality 3\">you let them spin during a long drive 4\">you let them pop out of your mind Paage Three Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following paage: We live in an era when modern technology has relieved us of almost every task our grandparents once performed – from chopping wood to carrying water.Technology is not the only reason for this, however: attitudes to children and work have changed dramatically in the last hundred years, and to many children physical work is a wholly foreign idea.In many homes, parents simply do not expect their children to work, even to make their own beds, wash the dishes, or mow the lawn.A friend recently wrote to me: I\'m not sure my generation ever really grew up.We don\'t know what it is to make sacrifices, to give unselfishly in ways that won\'t ever be recognized.Many of us are still seeking the perfect partner, the perfect car, or some other kind of elusive (难以捉摸的) happine.While no one in his right mind could desire a return to the days of child labor, sometimes it seems that the pendulum (钟摆) has swung too far the other way, that we have forgotten the value of work as an important tool of education.Physical work will not harm children; in fact, it usually does wonders for them.When you give a child a chore to do, you develop his or her ability to follow instructions.In helping to see it through to completion, you help the child build initiative and perseverance.Afterwards, you can praise him or her and instill (灌输) pride in a job well done.Where I grew up, hard physical work was part of daily life.I used to complain about the never-ending work, but my parents had no pity: \"Good, hard work makes a man,\" they always said.On looking back, I am grateful for every chore I did.I see now how work taught me self-discipline and concentration and prepared me for the responsibilities of fatherhood.Learning to work hard means far more than learning to sweat: it means building character.Our children need to grow up loving work, not avoiding it.Let us teach them to find inspiration in the face of challenges and difficulties, not frustration.And let us instill in them the desire to carry out everything they do with joy.36．By saying \"to many children physical work is a wholly foreign idea\", the author means ________.1\">physical work is often aigned to children 2\">many children do not like physical work at all 3\">physical work is too hard for many children 4\">many children are not familiar with physical work 37.What does the author\'s friend mean by saying \"I\'m not sure my generation ever really grew up\"? 1\">The younger generation wants everything perfect.2\">The younger generation does not know what happine is.3\">The younger generation grew up quite selfish.4\">The younger generation is idealistic about life.38.What does the author mean by saying \"the pendulum has swung too far the other way\"? 1\">Too many children today find physical work boring.2\">Physical work has gained importance as a tool of education.3\">Children do too little physical work nowadays.4\">Too little physical work is now needed in our daily lives.39.How did the author\'s parents react to his complaints about never-ending work? 1\">They disciplined him.2\">They showed sympathy for him.3\">They said it could not be helped.4\">They took no pity on him.40.What does the author think of children doing physical work? 1\">It helps children build up their character.2\">It is becoming unneceary as technology develops.3\">It is too great a challenge for children growing up today.4\">It means nothing but sweat and brings back memories of child labor.

第一批生产的空想家可能是阿基米德。在公元前三世纪,希腊科学家和发明家正在洗澡时,他突然抓住一个方法判断一个金冠和更便宜的金属。最近,西格蒙德·弗洛伊德写了大量有关心理的梦想的重要性,包括白日梦。科学家开始调查白日梦作为一项发明和解决问题的工具后约40年前他们注意到著名的发明家通常报道做出关键发现虽然他们的思想在放松状态。白日做梦是欣赏作为一个有价值的工具在其他领域。可视化,例如,运动员基本上遐想自己的表演,被广泛使用之前,运动员重要的比赛。然而,尽管其历史白日做梦是当今声誉不佳。他们通常被视为浪费时间。然而,许多人遐想,也有效。很多人说他们晚上最好的想法,早晨起床时,或在长时间乘坐出租车。基本上是当人们semi-trance(半催眠)状态,他们的思想是自由漫步,想出新点子。你也可以做白日梦成功运动时,走路或洗澡。事实上,它是一个好主意至少占据你的大脑的一部分与其他东西而让你的白日梦旋转(旋转)。空想家的典型运动想象他或她是在各种设置如热带海滩或准备跳进一个水池。这个想法是提供的空想家经验会帮助他或她的真实性能。例如,如果一个推销员已经拒绝了20倍,害怕不请自来的(向素不相识的人打电话或上门推销商品),他可以用白日梦来帮助自己放松,所以,他将经历一个电话更少的压力,成为学习新技能。写下或记录一个梦想会话是至关重要的。其中一个问题是,你有一个伟大的想法,你的头,你可以记录它。你也必须仔细评估你的想法的真正价值。在某种程度上,你必须退一步从白日梦和算出的现实。白日梦不会告诉你什么是实用。这不是他们的工作。白日梦甚至可以是危险的,如果你不能区分幻想与现实。风险是期待太多,认真对待你的白日梦。

《诚信与和谐》

广义上的和谐社会建设是指经济、政治、文化、社会四个方面协调发展、良性运行。狭义上的和谐社会建设主要是指社会关系的和谐。无论是广义上的和谐社会建设还是狭义上的和谐社会建设，诚信都是各种经济、政治、社会关系协调发展、良性运行的基础。对社会成员来讲，它是构建和谐人际关系的基本素质；对全社会来讲，它是社会良性运行的价值取向；对市场来讲，诚信是规范经济秩序、建立市场信用制度的道德保障；对政府来讲，诚信是实现执政为民、立党为公的有效途径。

一、诚信是社会人际关系和谐的重要准则

人际关系的和谐是和谐社会建设的重要内容。诚信友爱是人际关系和各种社会关系和谐的灵魂。中国的传统文化充分重视诚信在人际关系中的价值。诚信，包括两方面的含义，“诚”即真实不欺，既不自欺，也不欺人。朱熹云：“诚者何？不自欺，不忘之谓也”，“诚意，只是表里如一”。一个人只有做到表里如一，以诚相待，才能达到人内心的和谐和人际关系的和谐。否则，欺名盗世，自欺欺人，会导致个人内心的失调和人格的分裂，人际关系紧张，失去友情，成为孤家寡人。“信”，主要指在与他人交往中应讲信用，遵守诺言。孔子极为重信，他强调做人要“言必信，信必果”、“与朋友交，言而有信”、“言而无信，不知其可也“。人若不讲信用，就无法做人行事。在诚与信的关系中，诚是信产生的基础和原因，自己以诚待人，必然获得他人的信任。同时，信是诚的具体表现，信体现诚。在社会中生活，只有将自己的真实展示给他人，才能够嬴得他人的信任，才能够彼此信任。人们彼此信任才能够真诚地进行合作。个人在人际交往中讲诚信，就会形成人际关系的良性循环，正如管仲云：“信也者，民信之”。 然而，当前我国社会个人的诚信缺位表现在：借钱不还、伪造学历和文凭、伪造票据和证件，剽窃他人学术成果，欺诈他人以谋取私利等等，这将影响人与人之间关系的和谐，影响社会公平的实现。因此，在全社会中，加强诚实守信的公民道德教育，是构建和谐社会的重要内容。因为人际信任能增强全社会的凝聚力，促进社会关系的和谐，保障社会的长治久安。

二、诚信是建立市场信用制度的道德保障

诚信一直是我国社会所推崇的优良品格之一，在当代，我们赋予诚信以更多的经济性的内容。因为，市场经济条件下,诚信既是道德资源, 又是经济资源。随着社会分工的细化和交换方式的发展,诚信也从道德追求进入到物质生活领域。也就是说，诚信社会的形成，其中极为重要的一方面是诚信经济的形成。所谓诚信经济是指诚信作为一种资本（即信用资本）来参与市场运作的经济，当诚信资本能成功地实现其价值增殖时，诚信经济即告产生。这种诚信理念推动了经济发展和社会进步。

我国社会主义市场经济的建立加快了我国经济发展的速度和激发了人们走向富裕的动力，但是另一方面经济主体的利益的多元化现象也日趋复杂，这些经济利益主体，在市场经济体制下，无论是企业，还是个人，很显然他们从事经济活动的根本目的，就是尽可能多地获取经济上的利益。因此，导致物质主义、拜金主义在一定程度的盛行，人际互信互助的关系淡化，利益关系凸现，由此造成诚信问题，一些欺诈失信的行为时有发生，其主要表现为：企业产品的假冒伪劣、掺杂使假、坑蒙拐骗、偷税漏税、三角债纠纷、财务假账、伪造票据、金融诈骗、虚假广告、假烟、假酒、假药、假化肥、假种子、假币、有毒大米、黑心棉等等。这类似于资本主义原始积累时期曾经出现过的状况，严重扰乱正常经济秩序、损害了社会公

平和社会信任，使社会矛盾和社会冲突滋生。破坏了信用关系, 就会动摇市场经济的基础, 就会带来经济秩序的混乱。

诚信，就其作为社会的道德规范和个人的道德品质而言，既是整个社会的信用制度对个人的道德要求的反映，也是社会信用制度在个人身上个性化的发展，每个社会成员的诚信品质，组成了社会信用制度的道德保障。讲诚信则促进市场经济的发展，失信则自然会阻碍市场经济的发展。信用一旦发生危机，不仅会导致整个经济体系出现危机，而且严重影响社会主义和谐社会的建设。只有市场主体都能自觉维护其信用制度，才能保证信用关系的稳定性，减少信用风险。在此意义上可以说没有诚信原则就没有市场经济秩序，就没有市场经济效益，也就没有市场经转载请注明出处，谢谢！

1、教材具有权威性。教材的权威性主要在于它努力体现新大纲的要求，任何教材的编写都要相对应的教学大纲作指导，而衡量教材的好坏的一个重要标准就是看他是否符合大纲的具体要求。大学英语精读教材是根据国家或地方教育部门颁发的教学大纲或课程标准编写的，能够较好的体现教学大纲或课程标准规定的教学目的、教学目标、教学内容以及教学方法，所以大学英语精读教材完全符合大纲中有关教材的规定，有利于教学大纲和课程标准的有效实施。教材的权威性还取决于编写人员的能力和素质。现代《 现代大学英语精读》教材是北京外国语大学多名教授共同研究而成，这些教授具有丰富的教学经验和深厚的语言功底，而且教材有国内著名的外语出版社出版，还是普通高等教育“十五”国家级规划教材。所以，现代大学英语精读教材在一定程度上能够保证教学内容、教学过程和教学方法的科学性和合理性，从而保证教学质量和教学效果。

2、教材具有系统性。从整体上看，教材体系完整，内容丰富，有利于学生系统的学习语音、词汇、语法等语言知识；材内容从易到难，是一个逐步推进的过程。第一年的教材主要任务是巩固高中所学的内容，这主要是考虑到大学新生需要时间来克服高中阶段应试教学的影响，要尽快帮助他们熟悉大学学习方法，养成良好的学习习惯，纠正他们的语音语调，鼓励他们克服汉语方言对应于发音的负面影响，同时，要让学生意识到学习英语的目的关键是运用，而不是为了做题。第二年的教材，主要是知识积累，要运用各种方法扩大词汇量，提高对语法的掌握和运用能力，还要加强写作和翻译的训练，因为这两种技能需要从实践中得到提高，而不是拘泥于书本知识，第三年的教材主要是培养学生的阅读水平，学生能够独立完成一个章节的阅读，教材增加了阅读的难度，这样有助于提高学生的阅读水平，第四年的精读教材主要是使学生的听、说、读、写、译这五种能力得到全面的培养，是学生对这几种基本技能同时得到训练。

3、教材选文具有多样性。《现代大学英语精读》教材克服了传统教学理念的缺陷，教材编写体现了以应用为本，听、说、读、写、译等多位一体的教材设计理念，把提高学生综合运用能力放在首位。该系类教材的指导思想就是在课堂上创造一个真实的语言教学环境，使学生得各种语言技能得到充分的训练。教材中覆盖的词汇量超过大学英语四六级的水平，在教材的使用中学生强化了对单词的复现率，该教材词汇丰富，词汇重复出现有助于强化记忆。阅读理解的任务活动可以帮助学生检测和深化对课文的理解，掌握各种阅读技巧。在每一章节的联系中还涉及了汉译英和英译汉的翻译练习，这样有助于训练学生的翻译能力。而且，教材中选取的文章题材多样，风格各异，内容丰富，涉及了政治、经济、文化语言、科技、体育、风俗人情等各方面。所以，该教材有利于学生更好地了解世界文化，培养跨文化意识和跨文化交际的能力。

总体来说，《现代大学英语精读》教材合理的教学布局，能够使学生的综合能力得到全面的培养,听、说、读、写、译等各项语言技能在教材中得到了综合呈现,该教材注重语言技能的培养、注重学生独立学习能力的提高。但教材中也有一些不足之处，比如关于综合技能的整体训练,以及学习技能和学习策略的建议有些不足。但整体上该教材是目前最适合大学生学习的一本优秀教材。

(一)形式

教案是教学设计的文字体现，有相对的格式与要求。教案的格式主要包括文字叙述式、表格式两种。

1.文字叙述式

这是一种基本上全部以文字形式呈现出来的教案形式，在日常教学的应用最为广泛。

2.表格式

这是一种经常出现的教案形式，一般有学校发给教师。

(二)主要内容

上课的重要依据，通常包括：班级、学科、课题、上课时间、课的类型、教学方法、教学目的、教学内容、课的进程和时间分配等。有的还列有教具和现 代化教学手段(如电影、投影、录像、录音等)的使用、作业题、板书设计和课后自我反思与评价等项目。由于学科和教材的性质﹑教学目的和课的类型不同，教学 设计不必具有固定的形式。

1.基本内容

(1)课题(说明本课名称)。

(2)教学目标(或称教学要求，说明本课所要完成的教学任务)。

(3)课型(说明属新授课，还是复习课)。

(4)课时(说明属第几课时)。

(5)教学重点(说明本课所必须解决的关键性问题)。

(6)教学难点(说明本课学习时易产生困难和障碍的知识点)。

(7)教具(或称教具准备，说明辅助教学手段使用的工具)

(8)教学过程(或称课堂结构，说明教学进行的内容、方法步骤)。

(9)作业处理(说明如何布置书面或口头作业)。

(10)板书设计(说明上课时准备写在黑板上的内容)。

2.教学过程的步骤

书写过程中，教学过程是关键，它包括以下几个步骤。

(1)导入新课

①设计新颖活泼，精当概括。

②怎样进行，复习哪些内容?

③提问哪些学生，需用多少时间等。

(2)讲授新课

①针对不同教学内容，选择不同的教学方法。

②怎样提出问题，如何逐步启发、诱导?

③教师该怎么教、学生该怎么学?详细步骤安排，需用时间。

(3)巩固练习

练习设计精巧，有层次、有坡度、有密度。

(4)归纳小结

怎样进行，是教师还是学生归纳?

(5)作业安排

①布置哪些内容?要考虑知识拓展性、能力性。

②需不需要提示或解释。

(三)主要作用：

1.教学活动的依据

教学过程是由教师的教和学生的学所组成的双边活动过程。如果不认真做教学设计,教学过程中必然目标模糊,心中无数,要求不当,随心所欲，而最终无法取得好的教学效果。

2.有利于教学水平的提高

在这个过程中,教师不仅要研究教材的知识体系、学生学习教材的状况(接受水平、心理特点和思维规律),而且要按照课程标准的精神,分析教材的编 写意图和教材特点,分析教材的知识结构、体系和深广度,特别是要以整体为背景,分析各部分教材的特点,明确教材的要求,教材的重点难点,分析知识的价值功 能,酝酿设计教学过程,确定教学方法。教学水平的提高,在很大程度上取决于对教材的钻研。

《让沉默不再是金》教学教案 中文0604 11号 程超

一、教学对象：二年级下学期（中级二册教材）

二、教学内容：

1．生词，注重结构，词义，用法上具有汉语特点的词汇。

2．课文，通过大声朗读以及问题提问等方式加深学生对文章大意的理解。

3．语言点，重点是语言点的用法及语义的掌握和应用。

4．练习，重点放在语言点的相关练习上。

5．了解课文中出现的俗语背后深意。

三、教学目标：

1.掌握所学生词，特别是重点生词的用法。

2.掌握并熟练应用语言点的语义用法。

3.理解课文出现的俗语，并领会作者的心理。

四、教学方法：

1.对于生词和语言点的讲解，重点放在词义、语义以及用法上。在讲解的基础上，通过设置语境对重点生词和语法进行操练，帮助学生理解并掌握，达到会应用的目的。

2.在课文教学中，在掌握生词的基础上，首先通过领读和大声朗读使学生感知文章，对难理解处进行简单的讲解，力求掌握文章大意。

3.围绕课文相关内容进行简单地提问并小范围讨论，加深学生对作者写作意图的把握。

五、教学过程：

同学们，早上好！在上课前，老师要给你们介绍一句中国的俗语，（板书：沉默是金）来，我们一起读一下这句话。（生齐读）“沉默”就是不说话，保持安静。大家觉得沉默好吗,重要吗？（小范围讨论）（找个别同学）你觉得回答老师问题时，沉默好吗？开party时，沉默好吗？（生答）恩，那这些时候，沉默还是金吗？对，今天呢，我们就“让沉默不再是金”（板书：让沉默不再是金）

讲课文之前，我们先来认识一下生词。有谁愿意为大家读一下，恩，在他读的过程中，其他的同学帮他听听有没有读错的地方。（生读）他读得真不错！（适当纠错，然后，老师领读一遍。再找平时发音好的同学领读一遍。）

好，我们先看第一个生词：

1、复杂（形） 复杂是指事物多而且乱，主要用在以下三种情况：

（1）如今社会人际关系复杂。——关系复杂——简单、单纯

（2）这道数学题很复杂。——问题复杂——简单、容易

（3）她的想法真的很复杂，总是想太多。—— 思想、想法复杂——简单、单纯

这三种不同的情况，它们的反义词也有一点点的不同。但都可以用“简单”。这一点大家注意一下就可以了。我们来看第二个词：

2、耿直（形）跟老师读。这个耿直呀，是说一个人想说什么就说什么，从不拐弯抹角。我们常说：性格~

例如：他是一个（性格）耿直的人。

这个词还有两种其他的写法，鲠直、梗直。

其实，接下来的这个词和“耿直”的意思一样，它的意思表现得很明显。第三个生词是什么呀？（生答）

3、快人快语 我们常常把它写成“快言快语”。

近义词：心直口快

反义词：吞吞吐吐 就是说有些人说一句话之前要先想半个小时，我们就说：

例如：他说话吞吞吐吐的。

那大家说说，你们喜欢哪一种人啊？是耿直，快言快语，心直口快的的，还是吞吞吐吐的？呵呵，很明显哈！好，我们接着往下看，

4、打抱不平（走到同学们中间，什么都不说，打一下A同学）老师刚才说面都没说就打了A同学一下，这时候，B同学看到后，觉得老师打A同学很不公平，他很可怜，所以，B同学就打了老师一下。那我们说B同学的这种行为呢就叫“打抱不平”。我们可以把这句话完整地说成，

例如：B同学为A同学打抱不平。

在用这个词的时候，要注意不要把“抱”写成“报”。好，看第五个生词

5、得罪（动）意思是“使„„不高兴”。我们常说：~人，~领导。你们最好不要得罪我哦，小心考试不及格，呵呵！

例如：他做了不少得罪人的事儿。恩，这就是得罪。我们看最后一个词

6、遭 虽然只有一个字，但它的意思可不止一个。

（1）动词 作动词时，是“碰到、遇到”的意思，后面接的常常是一些不好的事情。

例如：~难，~灾，~险

（2）量词 它还有做量词的情况，相当于“回、次”。我们班都有谁是第一次来中国？恩，我们就可以说：来中国，我还是第一遭。对我来说，接触到这么多可爱的外国留学生，今天还是头一遭。

课文中出现的是“遭”做动词的情况。

好，我们再一起读一遍这六个生词（生齐读）。生词就先学到这儿！

大家翻到课文部分，先找同学把课文的前两段读一下。（找几个同学分读

1、2自然段）同学们的发音越来越地道了！现在再听老师读一遍，大家仔细听，一会儿考你们几个小问题！（老师读课文）好，课文读完了，你们准备好了吗？我要说问题了？（根据课文内容回答问题）

1、大学毕业时，教授是怎么对“我”说的？

2、教授的话是什么意思呢？用文中的话回答。

3、教授的话让“我”想到谁了呢？

4、“我”父亲是怎样一个人？

5、父亲为什么一生都不顺？

6、他吃亏又是因为什么？

7、“我”毕业以后到哪儿工作了？

8、到工作岗位之后，我是怎么做的？（生答：“一到工作岗位，我就把沉默是金作为信条。”引出语言点：一„„就„„）

看来大家听得都很认真！现在你们看课本上的这句话（一到工作岗位，我就把沉默是金作为信条。板书：一„„就„„）这呀，是我们这节课的重点。它有两个用法

1、表示的是一个动作或是情况出现以后紧接着又出现了另一个动作或是情况。连接的前后两个句子的主语可以相同，也可以不同；前后两句的动词一般是不一样的。

（引导同学）一会儿放学后你要做什么？（生答：去食堂吃饭，回宿舍„„）我们就可以说，

例如：一放学，我就去食堂吃饭。

一放学，我就回宿舍。

（引导同学）你平时有时间都喜欢做什么呢？（生答：睡觉，看书，打球）（找其他同学造句。）

例如：他一有时间就睡觉。（看书，打球）

不知道大家注意到没有，上面几句话主语都是相同的，听我这句话：她一打球，我就去加油！现在这有几个词和短语，你们试着连成句子。

（1）我 睡觉 她 说话

（2）老师 提问 我 紧张

（3）我 回家 妈妈 高兴

你们掌握的可真好，老师很高兴！我们再来看它的第二个用法

2、表示一个动作一发生就到了一个很高的程度。这时句子只能有一个主语，前后两个动词是一样的，或者用“是”代替后一个动词。

（引导同学）我们已经上了一上午的课了，怎么样，累不累？（生答：累„„）我们用这个句型可以说

例如：我们一上课就是（上）一上午，大家都累了。

（引导同学）你在北京住了多久了？（生答：三个月，一年„„）

例如：他在北京一住就是（住）三个月（一年）

（引导同学）食堂早餐的包子，你能吃几个？（四个，六个„„）（找其他同学造句。）

例如：食堂早餐的包子，他一吃就是（吃）四个。（六个）

好，我们慢慢再把这些例句读一遍，大家要注意每个句子的意思，还有它的主语和动词情况。（生齐读）给你们两分钟时间再感受一下这个句型的两个用法，一会我们做几个小练习。

练习：

按要求用“一„„就„„”完成下面的对话，注意它的两种不同的意思：

（一）前后动词一样，或用“是”代替后一个动词：

1、A：你昨天和你的朋友聊了多长时间？

B：我们已经十年没见面了，所以 。

2、A：她在商场买了多少衣服？

B：她觉得那儿的衣服既漂亮又便宜， 。

（二）前后动词不一样：

1、A：你听完报告以后去哪儿了？

B： 。

2、A：你什么时候给我回信的？

B： 。

这有几个练习，同桌之间可以互相讨论，一会儿找代表把句子补充完整。（生讨论）恩，看来大家对这个语法点掌握的非常好！（如有错误，适当纠错。）前两段我们就先学习这么多，回去之后，看看到底发生了什么事让作者改变了对“沉默是金”的看法。好，同学们，明天见！

课文：

让沉默不再是金（节选）

大学毕业时，教授对我们这些即将走上工作岗位的学生说：“进入社会，切记沉默是金啊！”教授的意思是，如今社会人际关系复杂，随时都可能遇到麻烦。教授的话是我不由得想起了父亲。我父亲性格耿直，快人快语，还爱打抱不平，因为得罪领导而遭到报复，一生都很不顺。母亲说，你爸爸吃亏就因为他那张嘴。

三个月后，我来到一家高新技术研究院工作。一走上工作岗位，我就把“沉默是金”作为信条。每天早晨总是第一个到办公室——打水、擦桌子、取报纸，这些活干完后，我才静静地坐到自己的办公桌前等待领导和同事们的到来。

Unit 3

Why I Chose to Attend College

As my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college.At times I did have some

doubts.After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile.My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning.While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further.I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development.I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations.Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person.A further factor was my awarene that in today\'s world many profeions require years of specialized training.Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position.As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.

Unit 4

In a recent poll taken by \"the Herald of the Town\", 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homele people.And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups.Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homele and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments.38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively.Job training for young

people was chosen as the best way to reduce crime (63 percent).After that, in order of

percentage, came citizens\' neighborhood patrols (23 percent), more police on foot (10 percent) and the death penalty (4 percent).

It was Mother\'s Day.Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion.Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children\'s mother with a barbecue, the first of the year.The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue.The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find.By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark.And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.

In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.

Unit6

One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised.\"What\'s the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?\" the father asked.\"Steve, the big boy on Quail Street ...\" the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger.In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists.Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face.Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground.However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too.Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away.Peter had to walk home completely defeated.Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depreed.

Unit 7

Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days.She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o\'clock.Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation.I\'ll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o\'clock and see Susan again.Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again.Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impoible for me to come.But thank you so much for your kind invitation.

Sincerely,

Unit 8

How to Attain Our Goals in Life

As a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life.To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower.Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to succe.Take Peter G.Beidler for example.Having chosen teaching as his career, Profeor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profeion.Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep.His subsequent succe as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Profeor of the Year in 1983.Obviously his succe has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one\'s goal in life.Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it.The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point.She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life.Instead, she persisted in improving herself.In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper.Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.

第19篇：大学英语精读翻译全中文

课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 大学英语精读 第一册 课文翻译

Some Strategies for Learning English

学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。

虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。

1.不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。

2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说 \"我对英语感兴趣\"是\"I\'m interested in English\"，而说\"我精于法语\"则是\"I\'m good at French\"？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说\"获悉消息或秘密\"是\"learn the news or secret\"，而\"获悉某人的成功或到来\"却是\"learn of someone\'s succe or arrival\"？这些都是惯用法的例子。在学习英语时，你不仅必须注意词义，还必须注意以英语为母语的人在日常生活中如何使用它。

3．每天听英语。经常听英语不仅会提高你的听力，而且有助你培养说的技能。除了专为课程准备的语言磁带外，你还可以听英语广播，看英语电视和英语电影。第一次听录好音的英语对话或语段，你也许不能听懂很多。先试着听懂大意，然后再反复地听。你会发现每次重复都会听懂更多的东西。

4．抓住机会说。的确，在学校里必须用英语进行交流的场合并不多，但你还是可以找到练习讲英语的机会。例如，跟你的同班同学进行交谈可能就是得到一些练习的一种轻松愉快的方式。还可以找校园里以英语为母语的人跟他们随意交谈。或许练习讲英语最容易的方式是高声朗读，因为这在任何时间，任何地方，不需要搭档就可以做到。例如，你可以看着图片或身边的物件，试着对它们详加描述。你还可以复述日常情景。在商店里购物或在餐馆里吃完饭付过账后，假装这一切都发生在一个讲英语的国家，试着用英语把它表演出来。

5．广泛阅读。广泛阅读很重要，因为在我们的学习环境中，阅读是最重要、最可靠的语言输入来源。在选择阅读材料时，要找你认为有趣的、不需要过多依赖词典就能看懂的东西。开始时每天读一页是个好办法。接下去，你就会发现你每天可以读更多页，而且能对付难度更高的材料。

6．经常写。写作是练习你已经学会的东西的好方法。除了老师布置的作文，你还可以找到自己要写的理由。有个笔友可以提供很好的动力；与某个跟你趣味相投但来自不同文化的人进行交流，你会学到很多东西。经常写作的其他方式还有记日记，写小故事或概述每天的新闻。

语言学习是一个积累的过程。从读和听中吸收尽量多的东西，然后再试着把学到的东西通过说和写加以运用，定会大有收益。

弗朗西斯•奇切斯特在六十五岁时开始了只身环球航行。本文记述的就是这一冒险故事。 Unit2

Sailing Round the World

弗朗西斯•奇切斯特在独自驾船作环球航行之前，已有好几次让他的朋友们感到吃惊了。他曾试图作环球飞行，但没有成功。那是1931年。

好多年过去了。他放弃了飞行，开始航海。他领略到航海的巨大乐趣。奇切斯特在首届横渡大西洋单人航海比赛中夺魁时，已经五十八岁。他周游世界的宿愿重又被唤起，不过这一次他是要驾船环游。由于他患有肺癌，朋友们和医生们都认为他不该去，但奇切斯特决意实施自己的计划。1966年8月，在他快满六十五岁的时候——许多人在这个年龄已经退休——他开始了一生中最了不起的一次航海。不久，他就驾着那艘16米长的新船吉普赛•莫思号启程出海了。

奇切斯特沿着19世纪大型三桅帆船的航线航行。不过，三桅帆船拥有众多船员，而奇切斯特却是独个儿扬帆破浪，即使在主要转舵装置被大风刮坏之后仍是这样。奇切斯特一直航行了14 100英里，到了澳大利亚的悉尼港才停船靠岸。这段航程比以往单人驾舟航海的最远航程还多一倍多。

他于12月12日抵达澳大利亚，这一天正是他离开英国的第107天。他受到澳大利亚人和乘飞机专程前去迎接他的家人们的热烈欢迎。奇切斯特上岸后，得由人搀扶着才能行走。大家众口一词，说他已航行得够远了，不要再继续向前航行了。但他却置若罔闻。

在悉尼休息了几周之后，他不顾朋友们的多方劝阻，再次扬帆出航。这后半段航程更为艰险，在此期间，他绕过了险情四伏的合恩角。

1月29日他驶离澳大利亚。第二天夜晚——这是他所经历过的最黑暗的一个夜晚——海面上波涛汹涌，小船几乎被风浪掀翻。食物、衣服、还有碎玻璃，全都混杂在一起了。幸好小船遭到的损坏还不算太严重。奇切斯特镇静地钻进被窝，睡着了。等他醒来时，大海又恢复了平静。然而，他仍禁不住想到，要是果真有什么意外，他能借无线电联系上的人，最近的也要在885英里以外的岛上，除非附近哪儿有条轮船。

奇切斯特成功地绕过合恩角以后，便通过无线电给伦敦发去如下电文：\"我觉得好像刚从噩梦中醒来。就是野马也休想再把我拖回到合恩角和那凶险莫测的南大洋去了。\"

1967年5月28日，星期天，晚上将近9点，他回到了英国。有二十五万人等在那儿欢迎他。伊丽莎白女王二世手持宝剑敕封他为爵士。将近400年前，伊丽莎白一世也曾手持同一把宝剑，把爵位赐予完成首次环球航行的弗朗西斯•德雷克爵士。从英国出发，再回到英国，整个航程长达28 500英里。奇切斯特一共花了九个月的时

间，其中实际航行时间为226天。他终于完成了他想完成的伟业。

和许多别的冒险家一样，奇切斯特产生过恐惧而又战胜了恐惧。在这一过程中，他无疑对自身有了一些了解。此外，在当今这个人类如此依赖机器的时代，他赋予了全世界的人们以新的自豪感。

人们说血浓于水，即我们的亲属比别人对我们更重要。老太太生日这天，所有的人都对她那么好。无疑她的女儿将会做出更大的努力使她高兴了？ Unit3

The Present

这天是老太太的生日。

为了静心等候邮件，她一早就起床了。邮差打马路那头过来的时候，她从三楼的公寓套间里一眼就可以看到。她难得有信，偶尔有邮件寄来，总是由住在底楼的小男孩给她送上来。

她相信今天肯定会有东西来。迈拉尽管在别的时候绝少写信，可母亲的生日她是不会忘记的。当然，迈拉很忙。她丈夫当上了市长，迈拉自己也由于悉心为老年人工作而获得一枚奖章。

老太太颇以迈拉自豪，但她真心疼爱的女儿却是伊妮德。伊妮德始终没结婚，但她似乎以跟老母同住，并任教于附近的一所小学而心满意足。

然而一天傍晚，伊妮德却说：\"妈妈，我已安排让莫里森太太来照顾你几天。明天我要去住院——只是动个小手术。我很快会回家来的。\"

第二天早上她去了，却再也没有回来——她死在了手术台上。迈拉来参加了葬礼，并以她特有的干练方式，安排莫里森太太来家生火，并为老太太准备早餐。

那是两年以前的事了，打那以后，迈拉来看过她母亲三次，可她丈夫却一次也没来过。

今天是老太太的八十寿辰。她穿上了她最好的衣裙。也许——也许迈拉会来的吧。不管怎么说，八十大寿毕竟非同一般——你又活了十年，或者说又熬过了十年，是活是熬，全在于你怎么看了。

即便迈拉不来，她也会寄礼物来的。老太太对这点是拿得准的。脸颊上的两片红晕，使她满脸生辉。她心情激动——激动得像个小孩。她的这个生日一定会过得很快活。

昨天，莫里森太太把这套公寓房间额外打扫了一遍。今天来准备早餐时还带来一张生日卡和一束万寿菊。楼下的格兰特太太特地做了一只蛋糕，下午老太太要下楼到她家去吃茶点。小男孩约翰尼也上楼来过，送来了一盒薄荷糖，还说要等她邮件来了以后再出去玩。

\"我猜你准会收到好多好多礼物，\"他说。\"上个礼拜我六岁生日，就收到好多好多。\"

她想要样什么礼物呢？也许是一双拖鞋,或者是一件新的羊毛开衫。要真是一件羊毛开衫那就太好了,蓝盈盈的，那颜色该多么漂亮。过去吉姆就总喜欢她穿蓝的。再不就是一盏台灯，或者一本书，一本带照片的游记；一只小钟也行，钟面带醒目黑色数字的小钟。让人喜欢的东西可真多。

她站在窗口张望着。邮差骑着自行车过了拐角。她心跳加快了。约翰尼也看到了邮差，立即向大门口跑去。 接着，楼梯上传来\"得得得\"的脚步声。约翰尼敲了敲她的门。

\"奶奶，奶奶，\"他叫着说，\"我拿到你的信了。\"

他交给她四封信。三封没封口，是老朋友寄来的生日卡。第四封是封口的，上面的字迹出自于迈拉之手。失望的痛楚攫住了老太太的心头。

\"没有包裹吗，约翰尼？\"

\"没有，奶奶。\"

也许是包裹太大了，没有随信件邮班同来。对了，准是这个缘故。待会儿会有包裹邮班送来的。她一定要有耐心。

她几乎是带着几分勉强之意撕开了信封。只见生日卡里夹着一张折叠起来的纸。卡上印有\"生日快乐\"的字样，下面写着一句附言——拿这张支票给自己买样称心的东西吧——迈拉和哈罗德。

支票像只断了翅膀的小鸟似的飘落到地板上。老太太慢慢地弯下腰，把支票从地上捡了起来。她的礼物，她的可爱的礼物！她用颤抖的手指把支票撕了个粉碎。

在美国，许多人把大部分空闲时间花在看电视上。的确，电视里有很多值得一看的节目，包括新闻、儿童教育节目、讨论当前社会问题的节目、戏剧、电影、音乐会等等。然而，人们也许不该在电视机前花费那么多的时间。如果我们被迫要找一些其他的活动，那我们可以做些什么呢？对这一问题，梅耶先生做了一番想像。 Unit4

Turning Off TV: A Quiet Hour

我想建议每天晚上一播完晚间新闻，美国所有的电视台都依法停播六十至九十分钟。

让我们认真而通情达理地看一下，如果这一建议被采纳的话，会有什么样的结果。千家万户也许会利用这段时间真正地团聚一番。没有电视机的干扰，他们晚饭后也许会围坐在一起，当真交谈起来。众所周知，我们的许多问题——事实上是所有的问题，从代沟、高离婚率到某些精神病——至少部分地是由于没能交流思想而引起的。我们谁也不把自己心头的烦恼告诉别人，结果感情上便产生了这样那样的问题。利用这安静的、全家聚在一起的时刻来讨论我们的各种问题，我们相互之间也许会更加了解，更加相爱。

有些晚上，如果没有必要进行这种交谈，那么各家各户也许会重新发现一些更为积极的消遣活动。如果他们挣脱开电视机的束缚而不得不另寻自己的活动，他们也许会合家驱车去看日落。或者也许会全家一起去散步（还记得自己长有双脚吗？），用新奇的目光观察住处周围的地区。

有了空闲时间而又没有电视可看，大人小孩便有可能重新发现阅读。一本好书里的乐趣，胜过一个月中所有典型的电视节目。教育家们报告说，伴随着电视长大的这一代人几乎写不出一句英语句子，甚至在大学一级受教育的人也是这样。写作往往是通过阅

读学会的。每晚清静这么一个小时，可以造就出文化程度较高的一代新人。

也许还可以像过去那样进行另一种形式的阅读：高声朗读。没有多少娱乐比一家人聚在一起，听爸爸或妈妈朗读一篇优美的故事更能使一家人关系融洽和睦了。没有电视干扰的这一小时，可以成为朗读故事的时间。等这静悄悄的一小时过去后，想要再把我们从新发现的娱乐活动中拉回去，电视联播公司也许将被迫拿出些更好的节目来才行。

乍一看，停播一小时电视的想法似乎过于偏激。如果少了这位电子保姆，做父母的可怎么办呢？我们怎么来打发这段时间呢？其实这个想法一点也不偏激。电视开始主宰美国人的空闲时间，至今也不过才二十五年。我们之中那些年满和年过三十五岁的人，还能回忆起没有电视相伴的童年，那时我们有一部分空闲时间以收音机为伴——听收音机至少还要发挥听者的想像力——但另外我们还看书、学习、交谈、做游戏、发明一些新的活动。日子也并不那么难过。真的。那时我们确实过得挺开心。

你是否曾梦想成为一名作家，却因为担心自己缺乏这方面的才能而却步？如果是这样，那么读一读琳达•斯塔福德的故事就会使你怀着重燃的希望拿起笔来。 Unit5

I Never Write Right

在我十五岁的时候，我在我们英语课上宣布说我要写书并为自己的书作插图。当时有一半同学大笑不止，差一点从他们座位上摔出去。

\"别犯傻了。只有天才能成为作家。\"英语老师说，\"而你这学期的英语只能得D。\"

我感到很难堪，一下子哭了起来。当天晚上我就写了一首短诗，抒发梦想破灭的悲哀，然后把它寄给了《卡珀周刊》。令我惊讶的是，他们竟发表了我的诗，还寄给了我两美元。我成了一个发表过作品拿到过稿费的作家了！我拿给老师和同学们看。他们都笑了。

\"纯粹是傻运气，\"老师说。

我已经尝到了成功的滋味。我已经卖掉了我的第一篇作品。这超过了他们任何人取得的成绩，就算它\"纯粹是傻运气\"，我也觉得很好。

在随后的两年里，我卖出去几十件作品，其中包括诗歌、信件、笑话和食谱。到我中学毕业时（平均分为Cˉ），我已经有了好几本剪贴簿，上面贴满了我发表过的作品。我再也没有对老师们、朋友们或家人谈起我写作的事。他们都是些扼杀梦想的人。而如果人们必须在朋友和梦想之间作出选择的话，他们必须永远选择后者。

但有时候你确实能找到一个支持你梦想的朋友。\"写本书很容易\"，我新交的朋友告诉我，\"你能写书。\" \"我不知道自己是不是够聪明，\"我说，突然之间又感到自己回到了15岁的时候，听到了那些笑声在回响。 \"胡说！\"她说，\"任何人都能写书，只要他们想写。\"

当时我已经有四个孩子，最大的一个才四岁。我们住在俄克拉何马的一个山羊饲养场里，离开任何人都很远。我每天要做的事就是照看四个孩子，挤羊奶，烧饭，洗衣和收拾果园。

孩子们睡觉时，我就在我那台老式打字机上打字。我写我的亲身感受。一共花了九个月，就像生孩子一样。 我随便选了一个出版商，把手稿放进一只放尿布的空盒子里——我唯一能找到的盒子。我附了一封信，上面写道：\"这本书是我自己写的，希望你喜欢它。插图也是我自己画的。我最喜欢第 6章和第12章。谢谢。\"

我用绳子扎好尿布盒就把它寄了出去，既没有附上一个写好回信地址贴好邮票的信封，也没有把手稿复印一份。一个月后我收到了一份合同和一笔预支的版税，他们还要求我开始动手写另一本书。

《哭泣的风》成了一本畅销书，被译成15种文字在全世界销售。我白天出现在电视台的访谈节目中，晚上则给孩子们换尿布。为推销我的书我到处旅行，从纽约到加利福尼亚，还去过加拿大。我的第一本书还成了加拿大印第安人学校的必读书。

我写第二本书花了半年时间。《我不断探索的心》也成了一本畅销书。我的下一部小说《当我交出我的心》只三个星期就完成了。

人们问我读过什么大学，有什么学位，有什么资历成为一个作家。我的回答是什么都没。我只是写。我不是天才，我没有天赋，写作是野路子。我也没受过什么训练，而且在孩子和朋友们身上花的时间比写作还多。

直到四年前我才有了一本同类词汇编，我一直用一本89美分买的韦氏小词典。我用的电动打字机是六年前花129美元买的。我从未用过文字处理机。我们一家六口，烧饭、洗衣、打扫卫生全是我一个人做，只能见缝插针地抽空写那么几分钟。我是跟四个孩子坐在沙发上边吃匹萨饼边看电视时以手写的方式写东西的。书写完后，再把它打出来寄给出版商。

我已经写了八本书。四本已经出版，三本还在出版商手里。只有一本水平较差。

对所有梦想着当作家的人，我要大声对你们说：\"是的，你能！是的，你能！\"我没有按正规路子在写作，但我已战胜了种种困难。写作并不困难，写作很有趣，只要下定决心任何人都能写书。当然，有一点小小的傻运气也没坏处。

萨姆着手提高衬衫厂的效率了，但正如我们将在本单元后半部分发现的，他的计划实施结果跟他原先预料的并不完全一样。 Unit6

Sam Adams, Industrial Engineer

如果你问我母亲，我怎么偏偏会成为一名工业管理工程师的，她就会告诉你，我一直就是这样一个人。 她的意思是说，我一贯希望把样样东西都安排得井井有条，整整齐齐。还在上小学时，我就喜欢把袜子放在衣柜左上方的抽屉里，内衣放在右上方的抽屉里，衬衫放在当中的抽屉里，折得齐齐整整的裤子放在最下面的抽屉里。

事实上，我那时一直是全家人的效率专家。父亲的工具、母亲的厨房用具以及姐姐的男朋友全由我统一安排。

我需要讲究效率。我希望有条不紊。对我来说，样样东西都有个固定的地方，样样东西总是放在适当的地方。这些素质为我日后从事工业管理打下了良好的基础。

遗憾的是，我这个人也有一点专横，不太善于听取别人的意见。等我把在大学取得学士学位后承办第一项工程的情况告诉你以后，你就会明白我这话是什么意思了。

毕业后我回到家乡——印第安纳州的一个小镇上。当时我还没有找到工作。我父亲的一位朋友霍布斯先生在镇上有一家小型衬衫厂。在过去五年里，厂里的工人从二十名增加到了八十名。霍布斯先生担心他的工厂规模变得太大了，效率变得太低了，便请我进厂当了个短期顾问。

我来到厂里，花了一个星期左右的时间一边到处查看，一边做些笔记。说真的，我对看到的情况不胜惊讶。 最为奇怪的是，厂里竟然没有任何质量控制。没有人检验工厂生产的成品。结果，有些装箱待运的衬衫不是缺了一两粒钮扣，就是少了衣领，有时甚至还会短只袖子。

工厂的生产条件很差。工作台很高，工人坐在旁边很不舒服。除了吃中饭的半小时外，全天没有别的休息时间来调剂一下令人厌倦的工作。厂里也不播放音乐。工场间的墙壁全是一片暗灰色。使我感到惊奇的是，工人们竟然没有罢工。

此外，厂里的生产流程也时断时续。在装配线上有个缝钮扣的年轻人特别心不在焉。没有多久，我便认出了他，原来他就是在中学上数学课时坐在我后面的\"大个子吉姆\"。他动作很慢，所有的衬衫到了他这儿都被耽搁下来。装配线上他后面的同班工人只好等在那儿无事可干；因此，在\"大个子吉姆\"一边工作一边胡思乱想的时候，大量时间便白白流逝了，劳动效率大受损失。整个礼拜我都在纳闷，为什么他没有被解雇。

我观察了一个星期后，霍布斯先生便要我就调查结果作一个口头汇报。我把要点概括了一下向他汇报如下： \"如果实行质量检验，你们就会大大改进成品。\"

\"如果把装配线重新设计一下，生产流程就会达到平稳，并能节省时间和精力。\"

\"如果降低工作台的高度，机器操作工作业时就会舒服一些。\"

\"如果厂方播放悦耳的背景音乐，美化一下单调的环境，工厂的生产率就可以大大提高。\"

\"如果工人们在上、下午各有一次十五分钟的休息时间喝咖啡，他们的效率就会更高。\"

\"如果工作出色能经常得到加薪提拔，工人们就会有更大的生产积极性。\"

霍布斯先生对我的汇报表示感谢，并告诉我说他将和他的兄弟——该厂的另一位厂主兼经理——讨论我的建议。\"我们关心工厂的发展，\"他说。\"我们要跟上时代的步伐。\"

他还送给我一张一百美元的支票并赠送给我一盒衬衫。

作者想对一位老人表示一番好意，结果却使两个人都很难堪，这时他才认识到，光有善良的意愿是不够的。 Unit7

The Sampler

有一家出售布丁的商店，每年圣诞节期间都把许多这类美味的食品摆成一排供顾客选购。在这里你可以挑选最合你口味的布丁，甚至商店还允许你先把各色布丁品尝一番，然后再做出决定。

我常常纳闷，会不会有一些根本无意购买的人利用这一优惠趁机揩油。有一天，我向女店员提出了这一问题，从她那儿得知事情果真如此。

\"比如说吧，有这样一位老先生，\"她告诉我，\"他差不多每个星期都要到这儿来，每只布丁他都要尝一尝，尽管他从来不买什么东西，而且我猜想他永远也不会买。我从去年，甚至前年就记住他了。哎，要是他想品尝就让他来吧，欢迎他来品尝。而且，我希望有更多的商店可以让他去品尝。他看上去似乎确实有这种需要，我想这点小意思他们是不在乎的。\"

就在她讲这话的时候，一位上了年纪的先生一瘸一拐地走到了柜台前，开始对着那排布丁兴致勃勃地仔细看了起来。

\"喏，这就是我刚刚对你说的那位先生，\"店员轻声对我说。 \"现在你就看着他好了。\"接着她就转过身去对老人说道：\"先生，您想尝尝这些布丁吗？您可以用这把调羹。\"

这位老先生衣着虽然破旧，但却十分整洁。他接过调羹，便开始急切地一只接一只地品尝起来，只是偶尔停下来，用一方大的破手绢擦擦他的红眼睛。

\"这种很好。\"

\"这种也不错，可是稍微腻了一点。\"

有一点自始至终很明显：他真诚地相信自己最终也许会买一只布丁；而我也确信，他一点也不觉得自己是在欺骗商店。可怜的老头儿！很可能他已经家道败落。从前他是有钱来选购他最喜爱的布丁的，而今却只能这样来品尝一下布丁的味道了。

为圣诞节忙着采购商品的顾客个个喜形于色，看上去都很富裕。老人矮小的黑色身影在这群人中间显得很可怜，很不相称。我突然动了恻隐之心，走到他跟前说：

\"请原谅，先生，能赏我个脸吗？让我为您买一只布丁吧。如果您肯收下，我将不胜欣慰。\"

他往后一跳，仿佛被什么东西蜇了一下似地，他那张布满皱纹的脸顿时涨得通红。

\"对不起，\"他说，其神态之高傲，远非我根据其外表所能想像得出，\"我想我跟您并不相识。无疑您是认错人了。\"于是他当机立断，转向女店员，大声说道：\"劳驾把这只替我包扎一下。我要带走的。\"他指了指最大的、也是最贵的一只布丁。

女店员从架子上取下那只布丁，动手包扎。这时，他掏出一只破旧的黑色小皮夹子，开始一个先令一个便士地数着硬币，把它们放在柜台上。为了保住\"面子\"，他被迫买下了他实在买不起的东西。我多么希望能收回我那

些不得体的话啊！然而为时已晚，我感到此时惟有走开才是最积德的事。

\"请您到那边账台上去付款，\"女店员告诉他，但他却好像没有听懂，只管把硬币往她手里塞。打这以后我再也没有看到这位老人，也没有听到过有关他的情况。现在他再也不会到那家商店去品尝布丁了。

发现了母亲为他藏好的圣诞礼物男孩起先很高兴。但接着他就开始担心，妈妈将因此失去给他一个惊喜的喜悦。他该怎么办呢？ Unit8

A Magician at Stretching a Dollar

那年的十二月，圣诞节临近了。一天下午，妈妈在外面上班，妹妹多丽丝在厨房里，我为了找一枚安全别针而开门走进了妈妈的卧室。因为她的卧室门正对着共用的走廊，她总是把门锁着，但我因为需要别针，便从藏钥匙的地方取出钥匙，打开门，走了进去。只见靠墙立着一辆低压轮胎的、大的黑色自行车。我一下子就认出了它。这正是那摆在巴尔的摩大街一家商店橱窗里一直让我羡慕不已的二手车。我甚至还问过这辆车的价钱。简直贵得吓人。差不多要十五块钱。妈妈想办法凑足了首付款，打算在圣诞节早晨拿这辆自行车给我一个惊喜。

这一发现让我深为感动，然而想到这样闯进她的卧室，从而剥夺了她在圣诞节那天见到我又惊又喜时的欢乐，我又感到厌恶。我本不想知道她这个可爱的秘密；但像这样偶然地发现了它仍然使我觉得好像重重地打击了她的欢乐一样。我从她的卧室退了出来，把钥匙放回原处，认真考虑着该怎么办才好。

我决定，在现在和圣诞节之前这段时间里，我必须不动声色，绝对不可露出一点蛛丝马迹暗示我已令人讨厌地知道了此事。我必须谨言慎行，不能让她知道我已掌握了她的秘密。必须想尽一切办法让她在圣诞节那天享受到看见我极为惊讶时的快乐。

在我不受干扰的卧室里，我开始构思并试验种种表示喜悦的惊叫：\"哇噢！\"\"一辆低压轮胎的自行车！我真不敢相信！\"\"我是世界上最最幸运的男孩！\"等等。这些话都大大归功于比如由米基•鲁尼主演的电影，片中男孩子看到他们最不着边际的梦想得以实现时都这么说。我很快便意识到，因为我缺乏演戏的天才，在我不由自主地想大声喊出发自肺腑的爱时，所有这些话听上去都会显得很虚假。或许最好是什么也不说，而是看上去惊喜得连话也说不出来了。不过，我也没有把握。我在电影里也看到过说不出话来的感激，但直到演员们设法哭出几滴无声的眼泪时才真正起到作用。我怀疑自己能否适时地哭出来，于是便开始思考别的表示无言惊讶的方式。在卧室里，我手拿镜子，试着做出各种各样的表情，嘴巴张得大大的，眼睛瞪得圆圆的；双手猛地捂住脸颊使下巴不至于落下来，双臂抱着自己，咧开嘴大笑，把全部牙齿都露出来。这些动作和一些别的动作我练了好几天，但对任何一个动作都没有把握。我决定等到圣诞节早晨再说，看能不能自然而然地做出什么动作来 ……

那年的圣诞节早晨，妈妈一早就把我们叫醒了，\"看看圣诞老人带来了什么，\"她只是用一般的口吻说，借以表明我们都不小了，知道圣诞老人是谁了。我带着送给她和多丽丝的礼物从我的卧室里走了出来，多丽丝也带着她送给我们的礼物走了出来。妈妈送给我们的礼物已在夜里放在了圣诞树下。有几个用彩纸包好的小包，一个给多丽丝的大玩具娃娃，但却没有自行车。我当时看上去一定很失望。

在我打开包的时候，妈妈说：\"看来圣诞老人今年对你不太好吗，老弟。\"果然这里只有一件衬衫和一根领带。我嘴上说了些半心半意的话，什么\"重要的是这番情意\"等等，但心里感到的却是极度的失望。我猜想也许是她发觉自行车太贵，又把它送了回去。

\"等一下！\"她大声喊道，一边还打了个榧子。\"我睡房里还有样东西我竟忘了个一干二净。\"

她出去了，不一会儿就推着那辆低压轮胎的大的黑色自行车回来了。结果我也不必假装了。我们三个人——多丽丝、妈妈和我——都是那种性格内敛、不会感情激动地表达爱的人，但我还是做了一件让妈妈和我都大吃一惊的事。我情不自禁地伸出双臂搂住她，吻了她。

\"好了，好了，别大惊小怪了。只不过是一辆自行车嘛，\"她说。

不过，我还是知道她很高兴，就像我看到她那么高兴我也高兴一样。

这是一篇幽默小品。但读完以后你一定会发现，作者写这篇文章是极为严肃的。 Unit9

Is There Life On Earth ?

本周金星上群情激动异常。金星上的科学家首次把一颗卫星成功地送上了地球，此后卫星便不断地发回信号和照片。

卫星对准发射的地区叫曼哈顿（是以金星上伟大的天文学家曼哈顿教授命名的，在两万光年之前该教授用望远镜首次发现了这个地区）。

由于天气条件极为有利，信号极为清晰，金星科学家们从而获得了有关载人飞碟能否在地球上着陆的宝贵资料。于是，有关方面在金星理工学院举行了一次记者招待会。

\"根据上周发射的卫星所提供的资料，\"佐格教授说，\"我们已经得出结论：地球上没有生命。\"

\"这您是怎么知道的呢?\"《金星晚报》的科学记者问。

\"首先，曼哈顿地区的地球表面均由坚固的混凝土构成，那里什么东西也无法生长。另外，大气层中充满了一氧化碳和其他致命的气体，任何人呼吸了这种空气都不可能幸存下来。\"

\"这对我们的飞碟计划来说又意味着什么呢?\"

\"这意味着我们必须随身携带我们所需要的氧气，这样一来，飞碟就要比我们原先计划的重很多。\"\"你们在研究中有没有发现其他什么危险呢?\"

\"请看这张照片。诸位看到在地球表面上方飘浮的这片深黑色的云层吗？我们把它叫做爱迪生联合电气公司带。虽然我们还不知道它含有什么成分，但是它很可能会给我们带来许多麻烦，我们还必须做更多的试验，然后

才能把金星人送往地球。

\"这边，诸位可以看到像是一条河似的东西，不过卫星探测的结果表明它已被污染，河水不适于饮用。这意味着我们必须自己带水，这就会给飞碟增加更多的重量。\"

\"先生，照片上那些小小的黑点是什么?\"

\"我们也不清楚。它们好像是一些沿着某些轨道运动的金属微粒。它们排放气体，发出噪音，而且不断地相互碰撞。那儿有很多这样的轨道，很多这样的金属微粒，要使飞碟在那儿着陆而不被某一颗微粒撞毁是很难办到的。\"

\"那些笔直竖立的石笋状凸出物是什么东西?\"

\"它们是某种夜间会发光的花岗岩结构。格洛姆教授把它们叫做摩天大楼，因为它们好像已经擦到了天。\" \"如果您所说的都是事实，那飞碟计划不就要推迟好多年吗?\"

\"是的，但一俟格拉布斯塔特贷款基金会把追加的资金给我们，我们就会立即实施这一计划。\"

\"佐格教授，既然地球上没有生命，那我们为什么还要花费亿万个零元向那儿发射飞碟呢?\"

\"因为如果我们金星人能学会在地球的大气层中呼吸的话，那我们就可以在任何地方生存了。\"

我是在几年前，从在纽约格林威治村碰到的一个女孩子那里第一次听到这个故事的。这故事很可能是那些每隔几年就会重新出现，以一种新的说法再被讲述一遍的神秘的民间传说中的一个。然而，我依然愿意相信这故事确实曾在某个地方、某个时间发生过。

Going Home

他们要去洛德代尔堡——三个男孩子和三个女孩子。他们用纸袋装着夹心面包和葡萄酒上了公共汽车。当纽约灰暗寒冷的春天在他们身后消失时，他们正梦想着金色的海滩和大海的潮水。

公共汽车驶过新泽西州时，他们开始注意到了文戈。他坐在他们前面，穿着一套不合身的便服，一动不动。他风尘满面，让人看不出他有多大岁数。他不停地咬着嘴唇内侧，表情冷淡，默默无言。

深夜，公共汽车驶抵华盛顿郊外，停进了霍华德•约翰逊餐馆。所有人都下了车，只有文戈除外。他像生了根似地坐在座位上，几个年轻人开始诧异起来，试图想像出他的身世：他或许是位海船船长，或是一个抛下妻子离家出走的人，再不就是一个回家的老兵。当他们回到车上时，一个女孩子便坐到他身边，作了自我介绍。

\"我们要到佛罗里达去，\"她兴高采烈地说。\"听说那儿的确很美。\"\"是的，\"他轻声说道，仿佛想起了他一直想忘却的什么东西。

\"想喝点酒吗？\"她问。他微微一笑，就着瓶子喝了一大口。他谢了谢她，又缩回去一声不响了。过了一会儿，她回到自己一伙人身边，而文戈则打着盹睡着了。

第二天早上，他们醒来，车已停在另一家霍华德•约翰逊餐馆外面。这一次文戈进去了。那女孩一定要他跟他们坐在一起。他好像很害羞，要了杯不加牛奶的清咖啡，在年轻人喋喋不休地议论着露宿沙滩的乐趣时，他却紧张不安地在抽烟。回到车上以后，那女孩又跟文戈坐在了一起。过了一会儿，他慢吞吞地、不胜心酸地讲起了他的身世。他在纽约坐了四年牢，现在要回家了。

\"你有太太吗？\"\"不知道。\"\"你不知道？\"她问。

\"是这样的，我在坐牢的时候曾写信给我妻子，\"他说。\"我告诉她我要离开很长一段时间，要是她受不了，要是孩子们老是问这问那，要是这事太让她伤心，那她可以干脆忘掉我。我会理解的。我说，再找个男人，忘掉我吧，——她是个很好的女人，真的挺不错。我告诉她不必给我写信。她没有写。三年半没有给我写信。\"

\"你现在什么也不知道就这样回家？\"

\"嗯，\"他羞答答地说。\"噢，上个礼拜，当我得知我的假释即将获准时，我又给她写了封信。我们过去一直住在杰克逊维尔不远的布伦斯威克，就在镇口有一棵大橡树。我告诉她，要是她没有别的男人，要是她还想让我回去，就在树上系一条黄手绢，我就会下车回家。要是她不要我，就当没这回事好了——不要系手绢，我就跟着汽车一直到底。\"

\"哇，\"女孩子叫了起来。\"哇。\"

她告诉了别的人，很快大家全知道了，大家全都关注着布伦斯威克的到来。他们看着文戈拿给他们的几张照片，是他妻子和三个孩子的照片——从那几张触摸过多的快照上看，那女人自有一种朴实的美，孩子们还没有发育成熟。

他们离布伦斯威克只有二十英里了，年轻人都坐到了车右边靠窗的座位上，等待着那棵大橡树的出现。文戈不再张望，他绷紧脸，仿佛正在鼓足勇气准备迎接另一次失望似的。

离布伦斯威克只有十英里了，只有五英里了。突然，所有年轻人都从座位上站了起来，尖叫着，呼喊着，大声嚷嚷着，跳起了欢乐的舞蹈。只有文戈除外。

文戈坐在那儿望着橡树惊呆了。树上挂满了黄手绢——二十条，三十条，或许有几百条，一棵树立在那儿就像欢迎的旗帜在迎风招展。在年轻人的欢呼声中，这位前犯人慢吞吞地从座位上站起来，向车子前部走去，准备回家。 Unit10
