CloseAROUND 1970, psychologist Walter Mischel launched a classic experiment. He left a succession of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a marshmallow. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the marshmallow. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two marshmallows.In videos of the experiment, you can see the children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes -- desperately trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two marshmallows. Their performance varied widely. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes. The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had, on average, better adult outcomes. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to become bullies. They received worse teacher and parental evaluations 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.Mischel experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is essential. Young people who can delay gratification can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree. They can perform rote tasks in order to, say, master a language. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals. No wonder they drop out. Life is a parade of foolish decisions: teenage pregnancy, drug use, gambling, truancy and crime.Happiness is basically a state of mind. Happiness depends more on one's disposition and outlook. Only by connecting to your real identity, deeper than merely the body and mind, can one reach real happiness because that is where such happiness is always found. In this way, very little is needed to have a happy life. It is all within yourself. Thus, we can attain a state of being satisfied with what we have without being anxious to attain all our temporal desires, without worrying about the future, and without concerning ourselves with unnecessary hopes and fears. When you are really and naturally happy from within, everything else that you accomplish can be viewed as icing on the cake, an extra sweetness to life. But such external activities are not where true happiness liesThe only reason why people cannot attain their inward spiritual bliss right here and now is because they put too much focus on their external situation and what they feel they need and how to get it. Or they focus on the problems that they think they have. Actually, what people need to be happy is right inside them, at all times, regardless of whatever trials and challenges may happen outside and around them. As I've always said, it is not what happens to you, but it is how you perceive it and how you react or respond to it that makes the difference. We have to understand that happiness and distress is a constant flow in material life. We are affected by it only if we identify with it. One has to learn to rise above that byconnecting with your true self, or higher Self. So how do we do that?Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the 1)_ keys_ to success? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is 2)_ divided_ into two aspects — life within and life without; internal life and 3)_ external_ life — and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because 4)_ life_itself is actually relationship. The body is related 5)_ to_ the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all 6)_ function_ together as a unit. So life virtually 7)_ means_ relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an 8)_ understanding_of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within 9)_ oneself_.All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware 10)_ of_ those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a 11)_ successful_ life. Those who are not happy 12)_ internally_ can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make 13)_ others_ happy. Those who do not love themselves 14)_ can_ never love others. If we are not happy, how can we be successful in life? Success 15)_ lies_ i n our happiness. The keys to happiness lie within us, but our modern education does not 16)_ teach_ us how to find them. It is helpful to have a fewformulas to practice in daily life to make it more successful. They are 17)_ derived_ from observations based on experience. There are five points to remember: first, how to decide things on time; second, how to study personal habit patterns; third, how to 18)_ conduct_ ourselves in the external world; fourth, what attitude to take; fifth, where to 19)_ find_ happiness. To attain success in life, one should learn and 20)_ apply_ these five points.Japan’s rise from the devastation of World War II to economic prominence was not without human cost. People cannot work for ten or twelve hours a day six and seven days a week, year after year, without suffering 1)_ physically_ as well as mentally. But during the first three postwar decades no one paid any special 2) _attention _ to the larger than usual number of men in their 40s and 50s who died of brain and heart ailments. It was not 3) _until _the latter part of the 1980s, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their 4) _prime _years suddenly died without any previous sign of 5)_ illness_ , that the news media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon.This new phenomenon was quickly 6)_ labeled_ karoshi, or “death from overwork”, and once it had a name and its symptoms were broadcast far and wide, it just as quickly became obvious that Japan was 7)_ experiencing __a virtual epidemic. It is8)_estimated _ in 1990 that over 10,000 people were dying each year from overwork.A recognized authority on karoshi says that most of the victims of death from 9)_ overwork _ had been putting in more than one hundred hours of 10)_ overtime_each. He said the 11)_ victims_ did not receive any overtime pay for their 12)_extra _ work, but were members of the élite managerial class who 13)_ worked _themselves to death “out of a samurai-like pride”. Because of 14)_peer _ pressure to keep up with 15)_ co-workers_, out-do competing groups and 16)_ increase_ market-share at the expense of competitors, hundreds of thousand of Japanese managers are 17)_ caught __ up in a vortex （漩涡）of psychological pressure that forces them to work 18)_ at _ a frenzied pace.After years of such 19)_ intense _ over-work, most managers find that they cannot 20)_ rest_ even when they do take time off. They are so wound up that not working leaves them disoriented and suffering from serious stress.A powerful personal growth tool is the 30-day trial. This is a concept I borrowed from the shareware industry, where you can download a trial version of a piece of software and try it out risk-free for 30 days before you’re required to buy the full version. It’s also a great way to develop new habits, and best of all, it’s brain-dead simple.Let’s say you want to start a new habit like an exercise program or quit a bad habit like sucking on cancer sticks. We all know that getting started and sticking with the new habit for a few weeks is the hard part. Once you’ve overcome inertia, it’s much easier to keep going.Yet we often psyche ourselves out of getting started by mentally thinking about the change as something permanent —before we’ve even begun. It seems too overwhelming to think about making a b ig change and sticking with it every day for the rest of your life when you’re still habituated to doing the opposite. The more you think about the change as something permanent, the more you stay put.But what if you thought about making the change only temporarily — say for 30 days —and then you’re free to go back to your old habits? That doesn’t seem so hard anymore. Exercise daily for just 30 days, then quit. Maintain a neatly organized desk for 30 days, then slack off. Read for an hour a day for 30 days, then go back to watching TV.Could you do it? It still requires a bit of discipline and commitment, but not nearly so much as making a permanent change. Any perceived deprivation is only temporary. You can count down the days to freedom. And for at least 30 days, you’ll gain some benefit. It’s not so bad. You can handle it. It’s only one month out of your life.3. Translation1. 尽管已历经⽆数失败，凯瑟琳仍然相信他能把⼉⼦培养成世界冠军。

5 remote controlRecently the Washington Post printed an article explaining how the appliance manufacturers plan to drive consumers insane.Of course they don't say they want to drive us insane. What they say they want to do is have us live in homes where "all appliances are on the Internet, sharing information" and appliances will be "smarter than most of their owners." For example, the article states ,you could have a home where the dishwasher "can be turned on from the office" and the refrigerator "knows when it's out of milk" and the bathroom scale transmits your weight to the gym."I frankly wonder whether the appliance manufacturers, with all due respect, have been smoking crack.I mean, did they ever stop to ask themselves why a consumer, after loading a dishwasher, would go to the office to start it? Would there be some kind of career benefit?YOUR BOSS: What are you doing? ',,'YOU (tapping computer keyboard): I'm starting my dishwasher!YOUR BOSS: That's the kind of productivity we need around here!YOU: Now I'm flushing the upstairs toilet!Listen, appliance manufacturers: We don't need a dishwasher that we can communicate with from afar. If you want to improve our dishwashers, give us one that senses when people leave dirty dishes on the kitchen counter, and shouts at them: "Put those dishes in the dishwasher right now or I'll leak all 1over your shoes!"Likewise, we don't need a refrigerator that knows when it's out of milk. We already have a foolproof system for determining if we’re out of milk: we ask our life. What we could use is a refrigerator that refuses to let us open its door when it senses that we are about to consume our fourth Jell-O Pudding Snack in two hours.As for a scale that transmits our weight to the gym: Are they nuts? We don't 'want our weight transmitted to our own eyeballs! What if the gym decided to transmit our weight to all these other appliances on the Internet? What if, God forbid, our refrigerator found out what our weight was! We'd never get the door open again!But here is what really concerns me about these new "smart" appliances:Even if we like the features, we won't be able to use them. We can't use the appliance features we have now. I have a feature-packed telephone with 43 buttons, at least 20 of which I am afraid to touch. This phone probably can communicate with the dead, but I don't know how to operate it, just as I don't know how to operate my TV, which requires three remote controls. One control (44 buttons) came with the TV; a second (39 buttons) came with the VCR; the third (37 buttons) was brought here by the cable man, who apparently felt that I did not have enough buttons.So when I want to watch TV, I'm confronted with a total of 120 buttons,identified by such helpful labels as PIP, MTS, DBS, FZ, JUMP and BLANK. There are three buttons labeled POWER, but there are times --- especially if my son and his friends, who are not afraid of features, have changed the settings when I honestly cannot figure out how to turn the TV on. I stand there,holding three remote controls, pressing buttons at random, until eventually I give up and go turn on the dishwasher. It has been, literally, years since I have successfully recorded a TV show. That is how "smart" my appliances have become.And now the appliance manufacturers want to give us even more features. Do you know what this means? It means that some night you'll open the door of your "smart" refrigerator, looking for a beer, and you'll hear a pleasant cheerful voice- recorded by the same woman who informs you that Your Call Is Important when you call a business that does not wish to speak with you personally- telling you: "Your celery is limp." You will not know how your refrigerator knows this, and, what is worse, you will not know who else your refrigerator is telling about it ("Hey, Bob! I hear your celery is limp!"). And, if you want to try to make the refrigerator stop, you'll have to decipher Owner's Manual instructions written by and for nuclear physicists ("To disable the Produce Crispness Monitoring feature, enter the Command Mode, then elect the Edit function, then select Change Vegetable Defaults, then assume that Train A leaves Chicago traveling westbound at 47 mph, while Train B...").Is this the kind of future you want, consumers? Do you want appliances that are smarter than you? Of course not. Your appliances should be dumber than you, just like your furniture, your pets and your representatives in Congress. So, I am urging you to let the appliance industry know, by phone, letter, fax and e-mail, that when it comes to "smart" appliances, you vote NO. You need to act quickly. Because while you're reading this, your microwave oven is voting YES.。

CloseAROUND 1970, psychologist Walter Mischel launched a classic experiment. He left a succession of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a marshmallow. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the marshmallow. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two marshmallows.In videos of the experiment, you can see the children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes -- desperately trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two marshmallows. Their performance varied widely. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes. The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had, on average, better adult outcomes. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to become bullies. They received worse teacher and parental evaluations 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.Mischel experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is essential. Young people who can delay gratification can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree. They can perform rote tasks in order to, say, master a language. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals. No wonder they drop out. Life is a parade of foolish decisions: teenage pregnancy, drug use, gambling, truancy and crime.Happiness is basically a state of mind. Happiness depends more on one's disposition and outlook. Only by connecting to your real identity, deeper than merely the body and mind, can one reach real happiness because that is where such happiness is always found. In this way, very little is needed to have a happy life. It is all within yourself. Thus, we can attain a state of being satisfied with what we have without being anxious to attain all our temporal desires, without worrying about the future, and without concerning ourselves with unnecessary hopes and fears. When you are really and naturally happy from within, everything else that you accomplish can be viewed as icing on the cake, an extra sweetness to life. But such external activities are not where true happiness liesThe only reason why people cannot attain their inward spiritual bliss right here and now is because they put too much focus on their external situation and what they feel they need and how to get it. Or they focus on the problems that they think they have. Actually, what people need to be happy is right inside them, at all times, regardless of whatever trials and challenges may happen outside and around them. As I've always said, it is not what happens to you, but it is how you perceive it and how you react or respond to it that makes the difference. We have to understand that happiness and distress is a constant flow in material life. We are affected by it only if we identify with it. One has to learn to rise above that byconnecting with your true self, or higher Self. So how do we do that?Everyone wants to be successful in life, but where are the 1)_ keys_ to success? When we begin to examine life, we can see that it is 2)_ divided_ into two aspects — life within and life without; internal life and 3)_ external_ life — and we can see that these aspects are of equal importance. Even one who has renounced the world has to understand the word relationship properly, because 4)_ life_itself is actually relationship. The body is related 5)_ to_ the breath, and the breath is related to the mind. The body, breath, senses, and mind all 6)_ function_ together as a unit. So life virtually 7)_ means_ relationship, and thus the art of living and being requires an 8)_ understanding_of one’s relationship to the external world and the relationships within 9)_ oneself_.All human beings have inner potentials, but many people are not aware 10)_ of_ those potentials and do not know how to use them to have a 11)_ successful_ life. Those who are not happy 12)_ internally_ can never be happy externally; those who are not happy within themselves can never make 13)_ others_ happy. Those who do not love themselves 14)_ can_ never love others. If we are not happy, how can we be successful in life? Success 15)_ lies_ i n our happiness. The keys to happiness lie within us, but our modern education does not 16)_ teach_ us how to find them. It is helpful to have a few formulas to practice in daily life to make it more successful. They are 17)_ derived_ from observations based on experience. There are five points to remember: first, how to decide things on time; second, how to study personal habit patterns; third, how to 18)_ conduct_ ourselves in the external world; fourth, what attitude to take; fifth, where to 19)_ find_ happiness. To attain success in life, one should learn and 20)_ apply_ these five points.Japan’s rise from the devastation of World War II to economic prominence was not without human cost. People cannot work for ten or twelve hours a day six and seven days a week, year after year, without suffering 1)_ physically_ as well as mentally. But during the first three postwar decades no one paid any special 2) _attention _ to the larger than usual number of men in their 40s and 50s who died of brain and heart ailments. It was not 3) _until _the latter part of the 1980s, when several high-ranking business executives who were still in their 4) _prime _years suddenly died without any previous sign of 5)_ illness_ , that the news media began picking up on what appeared to be a new phenomenon.This new phenomenon was quickly 6)_ labeled_ karoshi, or “death from overwork”, and once it had a name and its symptoms were broadcast far and wide, it just as quickly became obvious that Japan was 7)_ experiencing __a virtual epidemic. It is 8)_estimated _ in 1990 that over 10,000 people were dying each year from overwork.A recognized authority on karoshi says that most of the victims of death from 9)_ overwork _ had been putting in more than one hundred hours of 10)_ overtime_each. He said the 11)_ victims_ did not receive any overtime pay for their 12)_extra _ work, but were members of the élite managerial class who 13)_ worked _themselves to death “out of a samurai-like pride”.Because of 14)_peer _ pressure to keep up with 15)_ co-workers_, out-do competing groups and 16)_ increase_ market-share at the expense of competitors, hundreds of thousand of Japanese managers are 17)_ caught __ up in a vortex （漩涡）of psychological pressure that forces them to work 18)_ at _ a frenzied pace.After years of such 19)_ intense _ over-work, most managers find that they cannot 20)_ rest_ even when they do take time off. They are so wound up that not working leaves them disoriented and suffering from serious stress.A powerful personal growth tool is the 30-day trial. This is a concept I borrowed from the shareware industry, where you can download a trial version of a piece of software and try it out risk-free for 30 days before you’re required to buy the full version. It’s also a great way to develop new habits, and best of all, it’s brain-dead simple.Let’s say you want to start a new habit like an exercise program or quit a bad habit like sucking on cancer sticks. We all know that getting started and sticking with the new habit for a few weeks is the hard part. Once you’ve overcome inertia, it’s much easier to keep going.Yet we often psyche ourselves out of getting started by mentally thinking about the change as something permanent —before we’ve even begun. It seems too overwhelming to think about making a b ig change and sticking with it every day for the rest of your life when you’re still habituated to doing the opposite. The more you think about the change as something permanent, the more you stay put.But what if you thought about making the change only temporarily — say for 30 days —and then you’re free to go back to your old habits? That doesn’t seem so hard anymore. Exercise daily for just 30 days, then quit. Maintain a neatly organized desk for 30 days, then slack off. Read for an hour a day for 30 days, then go back to watching TV.Could you do it? It still requires a bit of discipline and commitment, but not nearly so much as making a permanent change. Any perceived deprivation is only temporary. You can count down the days to freedom. And for at least 30 days, you’ll gain some benefit. It’s not so bad. You can handle it. It’s only one month out of your life.3. Translation1. 尽管已历经无数失败，凯瑟琳仍然相信他能把儿子培养成世界冠军。

Many who came to this country still identified themselves as members of the Italian community, the Irish community, the Polish community. They sought out and assumed connections with people from the old country. Many of us have updated that experience. We have replaced ethnic identity with professional identity, the way we replaced neighborhoods with the workplace. This whole realignment of community is surely most obvious among the mobile. In an age of specialists, they may have to search harder to find people who speak the same language. (Para.12)这有点像最初移民来到美国我们地祖辈们地经历,许多人来到这里以后把自己原来地国籍还当成一个社区,所以有意大利人社区.爱尔兰人社区.波兰人社区等.他们不断寻找并设想自己与来自同一个国家地人们有着亲密地联系.我们把这种体验提升了一步.像工作单位取代居住地一样,我们地职业身份取代了种族身份.这种社区地完全重组在流动作业地行业中表现得最为明显,那些在不同城市变换工作地人似乎把自己地身份根植与他们地行业中.在这个充满专业人士地时代,他们不得不费劲周折去寻找有共同语言地人.

Even if you got to the top, you’d better not take it easy. “The bigger they come, the harder they fall”was one of her favorite maxims. (Para.21)进取.进取.再进取,这是母亲给我设定地方向.小小地进步是不足以自我满足地.那些因成功而沾沾自喜停下来欣赏自己地人是不会持久地.即使你已经到达顶峰,你也最好不要放松.“爬得越高,摔得越痛”是母亲地至理名言.It wasn’t the gin that was shouting. It was my mother. The gin only gave me the courage to announce to them that yes, by God, I had always believed in success, had always believed that without hard work and self-discipline you could never amount to anything, and didn’t deserve to. (Para.32)其实不是杜松子酒在吼,是我地母亲在吼.酒只是借给了我勇气向他们宣布那个想法.是地,上帝可以作证,我一直相信成功,一直相信如果没有辛勤地劳动和严格地自律,一个人不可能有任何成就,也不配有成就.Unit three[A] 1. 当一个人处于“经历中地沙漠”——一段感到毫无出路.甚至毫无希望地时期,最重要地是不要让自己陷入荒漠之中无法自拔.When someone is in “desert of experience”—a period of feeling barren of options, even hope, the most important thing is not to allow himself to be stranded in the desert.2. 经济来源耗尽,还有一大家人需要供养,吉米起初想逃避,但最终靠着顽强地勇气和乐观地性格挺了过来.With financial resources exhausted and the pressure of a big family to support, Jimmy wanted to escape at first but finally his courage and good humor saw him through.3. 有人认为在人生地任何阶段开始一种新地生涯都为时不晚.Someone believes that it is never too late to embark on a new career in any period of life.4. 在经历重大打击之后,明智地做法是勇敢面对挑战,而不是逃避.What makes sense is to face the challenge rather than run away from the troubles after suffering a significant loss.5. 玛丽靠她在餐馆工作地微薄收入,几乎无法维持生活.With the small income from her restaurant job, Mary could barely make ends meet.6. 人们逐渐明白了失败并不是可怕地东西,而是人生地宝贵经历.It dawns on people that failure is nothing to be afraid of.

We shall never surrender.”在1940 年盟军敦刻尔克大撤退之后地一次讲演中,他地话激励了全国人民,“我们一定不会衰退.失败.我们将坚持到底……我们永远不会屈服.”Unit four[A] 1.在当今社会, 广告几乎完全成为致力于描写快乐地现代表达方式.In modern society, advertising has become one modern form of expression almostcompletely dedicated to depicting happiness.2.讲座永远不会从大学地舞台上完全消失,因为它们来源于一个久远地传统,而大学这个环境为了其自身地利益又理所当然地尊重传统.Lectures will never entirely disappear from the university scene, because they spring from a long tradition in a setting that rightly values tradition for its own sake.3.这对夫妻永远体会不到做父母地乐趣, 除非他们有了自己地孩子 .Short of having their own children, the couple can never experience the pleasure of being parents.4.他把别人地成功看成是一种挑战.一种动力.他不断告诉自己他应该比别人做得更好. He takes other’s success as a kind of challenge and motivation. He keeps telling himself that he should do better than others.5.如果欢乐与愉快等于幸福,则痛苦就等于不幸福.但实际上能带来幸福地事往往与痛苦相联系.If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. The truth is that things that lead to happiness involve some pain.6.为了让孩子能得到成为一个音乐家所需要地一切,那些经济不宽裕地家庭对任何牺牲都在所不惜.In homes where money was tight, no sacrifice was too great in order that the child has whatever he needed to learn to become a musician.7.只要明白欢乐并不带来幸福,我们就会开始以不同地态度来生活As long as we understand that fun does not bring happiness, we can begin to lead our lives differently.8.如果我们真正得到了自己想要地,就会不停地想我们没有地——于是我们就老是不满. If we do get what we want we’ll keep thinking of all that we don’t possess—and we will remain dissatisfied9.唯一真正能平衡事业与家庭地方式是对你地生活价值观深思熟虑,并按此生活.The only way to truly balance your career with family life is to think long and hard about your life values and live by them.10.任何人想要生活既硕果累累又充满欢乐,他就应处理好工作和娱乐地关系Anyone who wants to have a both fruitful and cheerful life should deal well with the relationship between work and play.[B] 1. It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, and even good health.我们可以从爱和被爱中感到快乐,从朋友地相伴中感到愉快,为能随意到处居留而感到喜悦,甚至会为了身体健康而高兴,可是这些快乐很容易被忽视.2. We, on the other hand, with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area, have turned happiness into one more thing we “gotta have.”另一方面,由于我们有许多选择并想在各个领域获得成功地压力,我们把幸福变成了我们“必须得到”地另外一种东西.3. So we chase it and equate it with wealth and success, without noticing that people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.所以我们追求幸福,将幸福与财富和成功等同起来,没有注意到拥有这一切地人不一定更幸福.4. Happiness isn’t about what happens to us — it’s about how we perceive what happens to us. It’s the knack of finding a positive for every negative, andviewing a setback as a challenge.幸福不在于我们周围所发生地一切,而在于我们如何去看待我们周围所发生着地一切事情.这是一种从不利中找到有利,将挫折看作是激励地诀窍.5. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but cherishing what we do possess. 幸福并不是时时去盼望得到我们所没有地,而是要珍惜我们拥有地！Unit five[A] 1. 但愿我从来没有买过智能电器！God forbid it if ever I had bought smart appliances!2. 他关心国家大事,每天都看报纸.He is concerned about state affairs and keeps reading newspapers every day.3. 谈到高速攀升地房价,,舆论普遍认为无论政府还是房地产商都难逃其责.When it comes to the rocketing price of housing, the media generally agree that neither the government nor land developers can shrink from their responsibilities.4. 在随意参观当地二手书店地时候,我看到原来越多从图书馆流失出来地图书.Visiting local bookshops for second-hand books at random, I came across more and more books that had come from libraries.5. 即使你读了用户手册,也不能开动你地洗衣机.Even if you read Owner’s Manual, you can’t operate your washing machine. 6. 这个职位有很多人申请, 所以你和人事主管联系之前,你得先想出自己有什么特别之处.This job position has attracted many applicants, so before you contact with the personnel officer, you need to figure out what is unique about yourself.7. 这外交部长迅速地采取了一种更加温和地论调,人们普便认为这至少暂时挽救了他岌岌可危地政治生涯.The Minister of Foreign Affairs quickly adopted a more temperate tone, which was generally thought at least temporarily to have saved his shaky political career.8. 人类历史已经反复证明伟人经常不为他人理解,更糟糕地是被他人误解.It has been proved time and again by human history that great men are too often unknown, what is worse, misunderstood by others.9. 这种紧张情绪很快感染了人群中所有地人,我们都屏住呼吸观看究竟会发生什么. The tension soon transmitted itself to all the members of the crowd, and we all held our breath to watch what would happen.10. 为了核实被告是否承认了所有地罪行,法庭决定让他与证人对质.To check whether the accused men had confessed all his crimes, the court decided to confront him with a witness.[B] 1.From my own experience, practical play exposes all sorts of weaknesses and strengths in my play that are hidden during preparation.根据我地经验,实际下棋地时候会暴露出我在准备过程中隐藏地各种弱点和长处.2. On top of that, all his games were accessible to the Deep Blue team, while he was in the dark about Deep Blue.最要紧地是,深蓝队可以得到他地所有对局,但是他对深蓝队地情况却一无所知.3. Humans, too, play weaker in unfamiliar situations and though they may find their way around better, machines can compensate for that with brute force. 在陌生地环境下人类地表现也更差,而且即使人类可能摸索到更好地方法,机器也可以用物质地力量来弥补.4. Unfortunately, as a result, we were never able to see the fabulous calculating abilities of Deep Blue.很不幸,结果是我们从来也不能看到深蓝奇妙地计算能力5. IBM can hardly risk the reputation of its “blue-eyed” baby against some PC or mere mortal. So the rest of us (6,000,000,000 minus Kasparov) are left with more questions than answers.BM几乎不可能用它地“蓝眼”婴孩地声誉来挑战某台微机或是某位凡人.所以我们当中其余地人（除了卡斯帕洛夫以外地60亿人）看到地更多地是问题而不是答案.Unit six[A]1. 这对双胞胎姐妹总是一起出场,用同样地声调讲话,所以我们都不能分出谁是谁. The twin sister always appeared together, speaking in the same tone, thus none of us could tell them from each other.2. 教授在推荐信中为他最喜欢地学生美言,尽管这位学生已经退学两年了.The professor put in word for his favorite student in the recommendation letter, although this student had quit college for two years.3. 俄国人在陆军和空军方面都已占了德国人地上风.The Russians, both on land and in the air, had then the upper hand of the Germans.4. 因为作弊被大学开除后,他身处困境.After being expelled from university for cheating in the exam, he was up the creek now.5. 在学生家长地要求下,学校允许学生在家里上晚自习.At the request of the students’parents, the school allowed the students to study at home in the evening.6. 他们不接受这份报告,因为报告完全违背了社会标准.They didn’t accept the report, because it came out totally against the social standard.7. 经历许多坎坷曲折之后,这个天真地小姑娘最后变得世故起来,学会了如何应付困难.

A boy or girl who leaves college is branded a failure—and the right to fail is one of the few freedoms that this country does not grant its citizens. The American dream of “getting ahead”, painted in strokes of gold wherever we look. Our advertisements and TV commercials are a hymn to material success, our magazine articles a toast to people who made it to the top. Smoke the right cigarette or drive the right cat---so the ads imply---and the girls will be swooning into your deodorized arms or caressing your expensive lapels. Happiness goes to the manwho has the sweet smell of achievement. He is our national idol, and everybody else is our national fink. (Para.3)然而在美国,持有这种观点差不多就是背叛.中途离开学校地孩子们被丑化成失败者---失败地权利是美国政府没有赋予国民地少数几个自由之一.美国之梦是”成功”之梦,凡是我们放眼之处都是一片金光灿烂.宣传广告和电视广告歌颂物质方面地成功,杂志文章赞誉获得此类成功地人.广告暗示你:吸适合你身份地烟.开适合你身份地车,女孩们就会陶醉在你那没有异味地怀抱之中,抚摸你那昂贵地衣领.幸福只青睐那些散发出成功地甜蜜气味地人.他是全体国民地偶像,其他所有人则是国家地蛀虫.Unit ten[A]1. 我们应该常常回顾过去,让过去地经验为我买你提供指导,这样我们就不会再重复同样地错误.We shall always look to the past experience for guidance, so that we would not repeat the same mistakes.2. 一些教育家认为,与严厉地惩罚相比,积极地策略是制止学生考试作弊地更好办法. Some educators believe that compared with strong sanctions, practive strategies serve as a better way to prevent students from cheating in exams.3. 为了提高办公室地工作效率,经理决定订购这一套管理软件.The manager decided to subscribe to the management software to improve the efficiency of the office.4. 我想弄清试卷上这些英语单词地意思,但没能成功,所以我忍不住偷偷看了看电子词典.I tried to make sense of these English words in the test paper, but in vain, so I took a peep at my e-dictionary.5.如果这些新方法不管用,我们只好再依靠旧系统.If these new methods don’t work, we’ll have to fall back on our old system.6. 校方接到报告后,对这次作弊事件进行了全面地调查,抓出了五个用无线耳机作弊地学生.The administration carried a comprehensive investigation after the report and caught five students who cheated with wirless earphones.7. 他不是故意违纪,由于不知情,他才做出这个错误地决定.He didn’t break the on purpose.

Nowadays, even some tests are computer-based.[B]1.If the primary goal is simply to reduce cheating, then there are a variety of strategies to consider, including increased proctoring, encouraging faculty to use multiple versions of exams and not to recycle old tests and exams, aggressively faculty using plagiarism detection software, and employing stronger sanctions to punish offenders.如果主要目地只是减少作弊,就可以考虑采取各种各样地措施:更严格地监考,鼓励教师采用多种版本地试题,不要循环使用旧考题,更积极地使用剽窃检测软件,以及对作弊者进行更严厉地惩罚.2. But while such strategies are likely to reduce cheating, I can’t imagine many people would want to learn in such an environment.尽管这些措施很可能减少作弊,但很难想象人们会愿意在这样地环境中学习.3. As educators, we owe our students more than this, to learn in such an environment.作为教育者,我们为学生提供地东西应该比这些更多.4. Today’s students seem to be less concerned with what administrators and/or faculty consider appropriate behavior and much more concerned with the views and behavior of their peers.今天地学生不太在意学校或教师认为适宜地行为,他们更关心同伴地观点和行为.5. Regardless of the campus integrity policy, if students see others cheating, and faculty who fail to see it or choose to ignore it, they are likely to conclude that cheating is necessary to remain competitive.尽管学校有关学术诚信地政策,如果学生目睹别人作弊而未被教师发现,或教师干脆置之不理,他们可能会认为,为了维持竞争力,有必要采取欺骗行为.作文：In recent years ,there is a growing tendency that ________.

遥控器
戴夫·巴里
最近《华盛顿邮报》刊登了一篇文章，解释家用电器制造商是如何谋划把消费者逼疯的。
当然制造商们并没有说他们想把我们逼疯，他们说他们想做的是让我们生活在“所有电器通过互联网实现信息共享”的住宅里。
而这些电器比“大多数主人聪明得多”。
例如，文章说到你可以拥有这样一个家：洗碗机“可以从你办公室启动”，电冰箱“知道何时牛奶喝完了”，浴室磅秤可以“把你的体重传送到健身房”。
恕我直言，我满怀敬意地想知道电器制造商们是不是晕了头。
我的意思是他们是否该停下来问问自己：为什么消费者把碗碟放进洗碗机后，要跑到办公室去启动它?难道这样可以在职场上获益吗?
老板：你在干什么?
你(敲打键盘)：我正在启动我家的洗碗机！
老板：这恰恰是我们这儿需要的工作效率。
你：我现在就冲洗楼上厕所!
电器制造商们听好：我们不需要从远处来启动洗碗机。
如果你想改进洗碗机，那就给我们这样一台：当人们把脏碗放在碗柜上时，洗碗机能够感应并且大声冲人喊：“立刻把碗放进来，不然我就会漏水把你鞋子弄湿!”
同样，我们也不需要电冰箱知道什么时候没有牛奶。
我们已经有了一个傻瓜也明白的万无一失的方法来确定牛奶是否喝完：我们可以问一下妻子。
我们需要的是这样一台电冰箱：当它意识到我们要在两小时内就要把第四个吉露果子冻布丁吃完时，冰箱门就再也打不开了。
至于可以把我们的体重传送到健身房的磅秤：这是不是疯了?我们自己都不想看到自己的体重!如果健身房决定把我们的体重传给网上的其他电器怎么办?要是电冰箱知道我们的
体重会怎么样呢?但愿不会如此。
否则，我们将再也不能打开冰箱门了!
但是对于这些新型的“智能”电器，我真正关心的是：即使我们喜欢这些功能，我们也无法使用它们。
甚至现在电器已有的功能我们也不会使用。
我有一部功能齐全的电话机，上面有43个键，但至少有20个功能键我是不敢碰的。
这部电话或许可以与死人交流，我却不知如何使用。
这就如同我不知道怎样操纵我的电视一样，它需要3个遥控器。
其中一个遥控器(有44个功能键)与电视机相连；另一个(有39个功能键)与录像机配套；再一个(有37个功能键)是有线电视管理员带来的，显然他觉得我的遥控器的功能键还不够多。
所以当我想看电视时，我面对的是120个功能键。
通过诸如PIP，MTS，DBS，FZ，JUMP，BLANK等有用的标签来识别它们的功能。
其中3个功能键的标签都是POWER。
但有些时候尤其是如果我儿子和他的朋友们——他们都不害怕破坏原有的功能——改变了设置，我真不知道该如何打开电视机。
我站在那儿，手中握着3个遥控器胡乱地按着，直到最终放弃转而去开洗碗机。
毫不夸张地说，我花了几年的工夫才学会了录制电视节目。
我的电器就“智能”到了这种程度。
现在电器制造商们想给我们提供更多电器功能。
你知道这意味着什么吗?这意味着某天晚上你打开你那“智能”的电冰箱寻找一瓶啤酒时，你会听到甜美而讨人喜欢的声音，“您的芹菜发蔫了”。
当你致电一个商家，而对方又不想和你直接交谈时，你会听到一个相同的录音女声告诉你：“这个电话很重要”。
你不知道电冰箱是如何知道这些的。
更糟糕地是，你不知道电冰箱把这句话告诉了别的什么人。
(“嘿，鲍勃!听说你的芹菜发蔫了!”)如果你想让你的冰箱停下来，你不得不破译由核物理学家编写的用户使用手册指南。
(“取消产品保鲜监控功能：进入命令模式，然后选择编辑功能，再选择变化蔬菜默认值，然后假设火车
A从芝加哥以47英里／小时的速度向西行驶，火车B…”。
消贽者们：这就是你们所期望的未来吗?你希望电器比你还聪明?当然不是。
家用电器应该比你笨，就像你的家具、宠物和国会众议员一样。
所以我敦促你们通过电话、信件、传真或电子邮件的方式让电器制造厂商知道：当论及“智能电器”时你们会投反对票。
必须尽快行动。
因为在你读这篇文章时，你的微放炉正在投赞成票。
