Unit6 PASSAGE B 找到平衡 顺其自然，既解饿又解馋。 我从小就胖乎乎的，长大后也一直超重。因为我比别的孩子重，常有人嘲笑我，因此我很害羞，很难为情。我曾经节食过好几次，但没有一次成功，最后体重反而增加。体重增加的另外一个因素是我热爱烹饪，我特别喜欢做一些油腻、脂肪含量很高的甜点，吃就更不用说了。 18岁高中毕业时，我体重达到了215磅。我自信全无，不敢离家去外地的新学校，就决定不去上大学，在家呆着。我没有改变不健康的饮食习惯，体重一直上升，我越来越不开心，可是我没有采取任何行动，只是衣服尺码越买越大。

一、Passage A Translation 无名英雄：职业父亲意味着什么？ 在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时，我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具总动员》的电影。我们很喜欢这部片子，但随后我丈夫问道：“父亲在哪儿呢？”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。父亲不仅没有出现，他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿，说明父亲不可能离开太长时间。影片给人的感觉是，父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节，甚至不需要做任何解释。 新闻媒体倾向于把父亲边缘化，这只是一个例子，它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。大卫·布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。 职业母亲（我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的）奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。与此同时，媒体上绝大多数与父亲有关的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲形象。看起来似乎父亲唯一值得人们提及的是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候（我怀疑这一说法的可靠性，因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟，给汽车换机油或其他一些典型的由男人们做的事），或者是在他们去世的时候。当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时，许多父亲都回答，这一词语只有在葬礼上听到过。 这种“无需父亲”综合征的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持，我只是想指出正在实际生效的双重标准：家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬，而家庭全职母亲和养家糊口的父亲，所得到文化上的认同却很少，甚至完全得不到。 我们用来讨论父亲的角色（即没出息的父亲）的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时，很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女性，同样也适应于男性。我们这个社会表现出的是，似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不像对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。 更让人感到侮辱的是最近媒体的这种倾向，即把家庭主妇看成是一种“地位的象征”——就像一辆名贵的汽车，据说只有少数男人才享受得起这种奢侈与豪华。这暗示家里有家庭主妇的男人比那些妻子在外工作的男人日子过得更舒适，因为他们拥有全职管家这种“奢侈品”。然而，实际上作为家庭唯一挣钱者的男人要承受很多压力。当他们的那份工作是家庭收入的唯一来源的时候，失业，或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁，对他们而言也构成了巨大的困难。同样，家庭唯一的工资收入者在想辞去不太满意的工作时，其灵活程度也要小一些，因为这种工作变换会使他们失去收入。此外，为了给家庭挣更多的钱，许多丈夫超时工作或兼做第二职业。对于这些男人来说，正是这份工作所支撑的家庭，使他们觉得值得付出。

公共英语>>>大学体验英语（1）责任教师：徐薇 浙江广播电视大学《大学体验英语1》课程教学大纲 普通专科班非英语专业 责任教师：徐薇 为指导浙江广播电视大学非英语专业大学英语教学，特制订本大纲。大纲的各项规定可作为大学英语教学安排、教材编写、教学质量检查的依据。 一、教学对象 本课程为公共英语课，教学对象是浙江广播电视大学非英语专业的学生。 二、教学目的 大学英语教学的目的是，培养学生具有较强的阅读能力和一定的听、说、写、译能力，使他们能用英语交流信息。大学英语教学应帮助学生掌握良好的语言学习方法，打下扎实的语言基础，提高文化素养，以适应社会发展和经济建设的需要。 三、教学要求 本课程采用由宁春岩主编，由高等教育出版社出版的《大学体验英语》系列教材第一册。本课程参照《大学英语教学大纲》对各级的要求，分为1—6级。每级由《综合教程》、《扩展教程》、《听说教程》以及配套的多媒体学习课件、网络课程以及电子教案等组成。教学要求如下： 1、词汇：在二级的基础上掌握550-600单词(其中18%可通过泛读和其他学习项目掌握) 以及由这些单词构成的常用词组。对其中300左右的常用词要求拼写正确，并掌握它们的基本用法。 2、读：精读量:7000-8000词;泛读量:30000-35000词。能正确理解与课文难度相仿的文章。学会基本阅读技能,阅读速度达到每分钟65词。阅读难度略低、生词不超过总词数3%的材料,速度达到每分钟65词,理解准确率以70%为合格。
3、听：能听懂英语讲课及简短会话、谈话和讲座，抓住中心大意、要点和有关细节，领会作者观点和态度。对题材熟悉、句子结构比较简单、基本上没有生词、语速每分钟约120词的听力材料, 两遍可以听懂, 理解准确率以70%为合格。 4、写：能在阅读难度与课文相仿的书面材料时做笔记、回答问题和写提纲，能就一定的话题和提纲在半小时内写出100词左右的短文，能写短信和便条。表达意思清楚，无重大语法错误。 5、说：能进行简单的日常会话, 能就教材内容作简短问答和复述。能就熟悉的话题作简短发言，表达思想基本清楚。 四、教学安排 学期总学时综合教程课程应不少于72学时，每周应不低于4学时。听说课程不少于36学时，每周不低于2学时。地方电大可根据实际情况适当增加学时, 课内外学习时数的比例应不低于1：2。 五、测试 1、测试是检查教学大纲执行情况、评估教学质量的一种有效手段，是获取教学反馈信息的主要来源和改进教学工作的重要依据。语言测试应重点考核学生的语言基础和语言应用能力。测试要做到科学、公平和规范。 2、本课程的测试按教学大纲的要求进行，每学期安排一次，由浙江广播电视大学统一命题。期末测试内容紧密结合所学的教材，尽量结合大学英语水平等级考试的题型。期末测试成绩占学期总成绩的80%。，平时成绩占20%，由地方电大的英语老师给出平时成绩，记入学期总成绩。（平时成绩=形成性考核成绩，由书面作业和口试两部分组成） 3、各地方电大可以统一组织学生参加省内三级水平测试。有条件的电大应组织学生参加四级水平测试。 六、教学原则与方法建议 1、重视打好语言基础，注意提高文化素养。 大学英语教学必须把重点放在打好语言基础上。语言基础包括语言知识和语言应用能力，前者指语音、语法和词汇等方面的知识，后者指综合运用这些知识进行读、听、说、写、译等语言活动的能力。正确的语音语调、扎实的语法、一定的词汇量和熟练的词汇运用能力的提高有助于提高外语学习的效率，有利于提高语言运用能力。语言运用能力的提高又必将促进语言知识的加深和巩固。 大学英语教学还应有助于学生开阔视野，扩大知识面，加深对世界的了解，借鉴和吸收外国文化的精华，提高文化素养。文化与语言有密切的联系，一定的文化背景知识有助于促进语言应用能力的提高。 2、重视培养实际运用语言进行交际的能力。 语言是交际工具，语言教学的最终目标是培养学生以书面或口头方式进行交际的能力。因此，在教学过程中既要传授必要的语言知识，也要引导学生运用所学的语言知识和技能进行广泛的阅读和其他语言交际活动。教学活动要有利于语言技能的培养和功能意念的理解及表达。不仅要重视句子水平上的语言训练，还要逐步发展在语篇水平上进行交际的能力。
