Summary of the Text
Summarize the passage using the tips below.
1. have mastered quite a lot of information
2. have little experience in using the information.
3. discover how much they still have to learn
4. make this clear to the students
5.graduation is sometimes called “commencement”
Reference Summary
When students finish college, they have mastered quite a lot of information, but not as much as they may think they have. Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information. When they move forward to their careers, they will quickly discover how much they still have to learn. College can only set the stage for their future learning.
There is no way it can give them all the information they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly. A good teacher like the one in the story should make this clear to the students in a memorable way that they can take with them after graduation. This is why graduation is sometimes called “commencement”.

·Levels of Education in the United States and Canada
·Grading Systems in the U. S.
1. Levels of Education in the United States and Canada
Education in the United States and Canada is divided into the following levels at the indicated ages.
Primary Education:
Pre-school ages 2 - 6
Elementary School ages 6 - 12
Secondary Education:
Junior High School ages 12 - 14
High School ages 14 - 18
Post Secondary Education:
Junior College ages 18 - 20
4 Year College ages 18 - 22
Graduate School ages (MA) 22 - 24
Graduate School ages (PH.D.) 22 - 26/8
Post Graduate after PH.D.
2. Grading Systems in the U. S.
Most colleges use letter grades like A, B, C, D, F, and some use plus or minus like B- or C+. To compute students’ averages they say A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0 to graduate. Grades of F must be repeated to get credit.
Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate.
A few colleges use numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely A=90,B=80, C=70, D=60, but this may be up to the professor.
?Notes to the Text
1.In less than two weeks, I’ll have graduated. (Para 1)
I’ll have graduated within two weeks.不到两周，我就要毕业了。
This is an example of the use of the future perfect tense. The future perfect tense tells us something that will be past at or before a certain time in the future.
Examples:
By this time next week, you’ll have taken your examination.
I hope it will have stopped raining before we have to go.
I hope that everything I have told you will not have been forgotten by the next lesson.
2. I can still remember the first day of classes, looking on the map on the back of the Schedule of Classes and asking where the classroom building was. (Para 1)
Being a freshman of the university, the author was not familiar with the school resources. That was why he asked of others the location of the classroom building on the first class day.
我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。
3. Every day I wish I could freeze time and make the next two weeks go more slowly. (Para 1) “wish” is followed by a subjunctive clause here.
每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。
Examples:
I wish it were cooler. (It is not cool. It is hot.)
I wish you had been to the cinema with us last night. ( You didn’t.)
4. ... and through many triumphs and failures I came to know more about myself. (Para 2)
I had experienced many successes and many failures. It was through these successes and failures that I got to know myself better. 历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。
5. As I walk down the familiar routes on campus, I found myself doing a lot of soul-searching and reminiscing. (Para 3)
As I walk on the familiar campus road, I find myself thinking about the passed days I spent at the college.
soul- searching: a deep examination of one’s mind and conscience.
走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。
6. The world is enormous and the possibilities are endless. (Para 3)
The world is so big and who knows what will happen (after graduation).
世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。
7. I am getting a queasy feeling deep down every time I think about the fact that I’m going to be graduating. (Para 4)
I feel quite uneasy at the idea that I will graduate from college.
每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。
None phrases like every time / the moment / next time can also be used to introduce adverbial clauses of time.
Examples:
Every time I catch a cold, I have a pain in my back.
Stormy applause broke forth the moment the pop star appeared on the stage.
8. It’s too difficult to even contemplate the idea that soon I will be waking up in the mornings and not have a class to which I should be going. (Para 4)
It is so difficult for me to understand that soon I will be waking up in the mornings and find there is no class for me to go to.
甚至不敢想象早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。

a real career

Reference Summary
College is a safe laboratory in which to experiment with new things. There are no parents around to control you or make all decisions for you. But most of the decisions you make don’t have as great a risk as they will have after college. Being a student is a real career but only a temporary one.
Teachers can give some guidance without being either parents or bosses. Classmates can set either a good or a bad example, and you can learn to tell the outside the classroom is an important part of the college experience. Students should cherish all of this like the student in the story, because they may never have such an opportunity again.

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。

Unit1 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《玩具故事》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，说明他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的边缘化，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，媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候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、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事），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。 这种“无需父亲”综合症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活口的父亲，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承担的责任缺乏赏识。我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法，在人们呼吁应该考虑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子，同样也适应于男子。我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——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，只有据说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，实际上作为家庭惟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惟一来源的时候，失业，或者甚至只不过是受到失业的威胁，对他们来说显然构成更大的困难。同样，家庭惟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，使得他们值得付出努力。很多男人相信母亲呆在家里对小孩十分重要，这种信念使得他们乐意地担起家里惟一挣钱人的担子。 目前，研究者们普遍认为家庭中没有父亲会对小孩——因此对整个社会——带来严重的问题。然而，我们这个社会并没有把“普通”父亲作为正面角色为未来的父亲树立榜样，相反地，却常常持放弃态度，认为传统的父道从最好的方面说是已经过时，从最坏的方面讲就是危险的反动。这使得许多男人对他们作为父亲的角色的价值提出疑问。 作为一个社会，我们需要认识到对于孩子来说，父亲是与母亲同等重要的，不仅仅在经济支持上，而且在感情依靠、教育和纪律训导方面都是如此。我们仅仅意识到没有父亲是一个问题是不够的，也不能只是站在坟墓旁边哀悼“顾家好男人”的去世，随后又找一个人来替代他（请问一问已失去父亲的人，这是否可能）。我们必须承认我们是如何贬低了父道的价
