Unit 1If great achievers share angthing, said Simonton. it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. "There's a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal." he explained." But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It's a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion."He cited Winston Churchill, Britain's prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into office when his country's morale was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired the nation when he said," we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end… we shall never surrender."Unit 2Some persons refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome, A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse." I didn't come back sooner," he explained," because I imagined you must be bored to death with people thanking you.""On the contrary," she replied," I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it."Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life.Unit 3The normal Western approach to a problem is to fight it. The saying, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," is typical of this aggressive attitude toward problem-solving. No matter what the problem is, or the techniques available for solving it, the framework produced by our Western way of thinking is fight. Dr. de Bono calls this vertical thinking; the traditional, sequential, Aristotelian thinking of logic, moving firmly from one step to the next, like toy blocks being built one on top of the other. The flaw is, of course, that if at any point one of the steps is not reached, or one of the toy blocks is incorrectly placed, then the whole structure collapses. Impasse is reached, and frustration, tension, feelings of fight take over.Lateral thinking, Dr. de Bono says, is a new technique of thinking about things—atechnique that avoids this fight altogether, and solves the problem in an entirely unexpected fashion.Lateral thinking sounds simple. And it is. Once you have solved a problem laterally, you wonder how you could ever have been hung up on it. The key is making that vital shift in emphasis, that sidestepping of the problem, instead of attacking it head-on.Dr. A. A. Bridger, psychiatrist at Columbia University and in private practice in New York, explains how lateral thinking works with his patients. "Many people come to me wanting to stop smoking, for instance," he says. "Most people fail when they are trying to stop smoking because they wind up telling themselves, 'No, I will not smoke; no, 1 shall not smoke; no, I will not; no, I cannot...' It's a fight and what happens is you end up smoking more."So instead of looking at the problem from the old ways of no, and fighting it, I show them a whole new point of view—that you are your body's keeper, and your body is something through which you experience life. If you stop to think about it, there's really something helpless about your body. It can do nothing for itself. It has no choice, it is like a baby's body. You begin then a whole new way of looking at it—‘I am now going to take care of myself, and give myself some respect and protection, by not smoking.' “Unit 4When a student's work did not measure up to the teacher's expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance. Instead, the teacher assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary slip – and the student believed her and felt reassured. The next time around, he tried harder, determined to live up to what the teacher knew he could do.The exact part of communication that tells a child, "I expect the best," is difficult to pinpoint. In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation. The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and the child picks up that conviction.Unit 5I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. Icertainly wasn't seeking any degree, the way a college confers a status symbol upon its students. My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness, and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America. Not long ago, an English writer telephoned me from London, asking questions. One was, "What's your alma mater?" I told him, "Books." You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I'm not studying something I feel might be able to help the black man...Unit 6EQ is not the opposite of IQ. Some people are blessed with a lot of both, some with little of either. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolution.Unit 7As a child, I identified so strongly with my mother that I thought my father was just a long-term house guest with spanking privileges. She and I are bookish, introverted worriers. My father is an optimist who has never had a sleepless night in his life.Like most fathers and sons, we fought. But there was no cooling-off period between rounds. It was a cold war lasting from the onset of my adolescence until I went off to college in 1973.I hated him. He was a former navy fighter pilot, with an Irish temper and a belief that all the problems of the world—including an overprotected son who never saw anything through to completion—could be cured by the application of more discipline.Unit 8Now, it must be obvious what all this has to do with you. Eventually, like the rest of us, you must be on one side or the other. You must be an Athenian or a Visigoth. Of course, it is much harder to be an Athenian, for you must learn how to be one, you must work at being one, whereas we are all, in a way, natural-born Visigoths. That is why there are so many more Visigoths than Athenians. And I must tell you that you do not become an Athenian merely by attending school or accumulating degrees. My father-in-law was oneof the most committed Athenians I have ever known, and he spent his entire adult life as a dress cutter on Seventh Avenue in New York City. On the other hand, I have known physicians, lawyers, and engineers who are Visigoths of unmistakable persuasion. And I must also tell you, as much in sorrow as in shame, that at some of our great universities, perhaps even this one, there are professors of whom we may fairly say they are closet Visigoths. And yet, you must not doubt for a moment that a school, after all, is essentially an Athenian idea. There is a direct link between the cultural achievements of Athens and what the faculty of this university is all about. I have no difficulty imagining that Plato, Aristotle, or Democritus would be quite at home in our classrooms. A Visigoth would merely scrawl obscenities on the wall.。

"this doesn't mean ignoring important things in your life," amanda explains. "it means planning your study time so that you can concentrate. if i'm worried about a sick friend, i call her before i start my homework. then when i sit down to study, i can really focus."2. study anywhere — or everywhere. a university professor in arizona assigned to tutor underachieving college athletes, recalls a runner who exercised daily. he persuaded him to use the time to memorise biology terms. another student stuck a vocabulary list on his bathroom wall and learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.3. organize your materials. at school, tom played basketball. "i was too busy to waste time looking for a pencil or a missingnotebook. i kept everything just where i could get my hands on it," he says. paul, a student in new mexico, keeps two folders for each subject —one for the day's assignments, the other for homework completed and ready to hand in. a drawer keeps essentials together and cuts down on time-wasting searches.4. organize your time. when a teacher set a long essay, alex would spend a couple of days reading round the subject and making notes, then he'd do a rough draft and write up the essay. he would aim to finish a couple of days before the assignment was due so that if it took longer than expected, he'd still meet the deadline. amanda stuck to a study schedule that included breaks every two hours. "trying to study when you're overtired isn't smart," she advises. "even a short break to stretch or get some fresh air can work wonders."5. learn how to read. "i used to spend hours going through irrelevant material," amanda remembers. "but then i got used to reading quickly; if the first sentence of a paragraph wasn't relevant, i'd move on to the next paragraph." "the best course i ever took," says an oklahoma student, "was speed-reading. i not only increased my words per minute but also learned to look at a book's table of contents and pictures first. then, when i began to read, i had a sense of the material and i retained a lot more." to such students, the secret of good reading is to be an active reader —one who keeps asking questions that lead to a full understanding of the material being read.6. take good notes. "before writing anything, i pide my page into two parts," says amanda, "the left part is about a third of the page wide; the right, two-thirds. i write my notes in the wider part, and put down the main ideas on the left. during revision, this is very useful because you can see immediately why the material isrelevant, rather than being worried by a great mass of information." just before the end of lesson bell rings, most students close their books, put away papers, talk to friends and get ready to leave. but a smart student uses those few minutes to write two or three sentences about the lesson's main points, which he scans before the next class.7. ask questions. "if you ask questions, you know at once whether you have got the point or not," says alex. class participation is a matter of showing intellectual curiosity. in a lecture on economics, for example, curious students would ask how the chinese economy could be both socialist and market-driven, thus interesting themselves not only in whats, but also in whys and hows.8. study together. the value of working together was shown in an experiment at the university of california at berkeley. a graduate student there who observed a first-year calculus course found that asian-american students discussed homework, tried different approaches and explained their solutions to one another while the others studied alone, spent most of their time reading and rereading the text, and tried the same approach time after time even if it was unsuccessful.after all, the secrets of a students are not so secret. you can learn and master them and become an a student, too.new wordsperformvt. 执行, 完成; 演出, 表演vi. 演出, 表演; 工作, 表现; 执行, 完成high-achievinga. 得高分的lower-scoringa. 得分较低的concentratevi. direct all one's attention, etc. towards sth. 全神贯注;集中思想;专注;专心interruptionn. 打扰; 干扰; 中止; 阻碍ignorevt. take no notice of; refuse to pay attention to!! 不理;忽视focusv. direct attention, etc. on sth. 集中注意力于某事情assignvt. appoint to a job or duty 委派; 指派underachievinga. doing less well than was expected, esp. in school work 未能充分发挥学习潜力的;学习成绩不良的athleten. a person who is good at or who often does spors 运动员recallvt. bring back to the mind; remember 回想(起);记得memorise, -rizevt. learn and remember 记住;熟记missinga. 缺失的，找不到的;失踪的，下落不明的notebookn. small book for writing notes in 笔记本;记事本foldern. 文件夹assignmentn. a duty or piece of work that is given to someone (指定的)作业;(分派的)任务drawern. 抽屉essentialn.

21世纪大学英语读写教程（第二册）课文翻译（1-4单元）(2)西方和日本公司的合资企业经常会发生冲突----许多无关紧要的琐事会扩大为情绪激动的交战，各方不停地叫嚷：“他们是怎么了!?他们能不能理解……?!”但是因为冲突主要是由文化差异引起的，所以没有一方能够理解----除非他们有一名“文化翻译”。

我遇到的第一位文化翻译是一位设备安装工程师，名叫乔治，他在一家我担任国际业务部主任的美国公司里工作。

这家公司刚同一家日本商社开办了一家合资企业，美方管理部门需要有人在它的独特技术方面培训日本雇员。

乔治对设备及其安装和使用的透彻了解使他成为最能胜任这项工作的雇员，所以当乔治接受了暂时调往日本的一份两年期合同时，大家都很高兴。

从一开始，乔治就被所有的日本雇员欣然接受。

日方经理通常不信任任何被派去代表美方业主的人，但乔治生性随和，没有人把他看作是对自己职业的一种威胁。

所以他们喜欢就广泛的各类问题征求他的意见，包括大洋彼岸他们的合作伙伴的古怪行为。

公司上下的工程师们都珍视乔治的专业知识和他友好而技能熟练的帮助，他们已养成了一有问题----任何问题，就找他帮忙的习惯。

办公室里的秘书们都热衷于帮助这个讨人喜欢的单身汉学习日语。

谁也没有料到那么快公司就成了一家赢利、兴旺、日益壮大的企业。

乔治的第一份两年期合同到期了。

这时，他已经能讲很好的日语，并养成了一些日本人的习惯。

他整天喝绿茶，顿顿吃米饭，甚至学会了正确地坐榻榻米。

所以，当公司向乔治提出在日本的第二份两年期合同的建议时，他立即就接受了。

之后又有第三份合同，乔治与日本文化的情缘在继续着。

但是当乔治在这个国家的第6个年头即将结束时，一个未曾料到的困难变得显而易见了：日本工程师对迅速更新的技术的了解已经超过了乔治。

他没有什么剩下的东西可以教他们了。

难道这就是可怜的乔治的结局吗? 他对于这家他曾经如此忠诚地服务过的、现已成熟的合资企业，就再也没有什么可以贡献的了吗? 他只得离开他已开始爱上的这个国家吗? 不! 面对着要离开日本的威胁，乔治心有不甘，于是将自己重新塑造成了一名“文化翻译”。

Reading aloud"Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field. At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Lavery, the celebrated painter who lived nearby.“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料，然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。

就在这时，我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音，于是一份耕耘，一份收获答案只是参考，请大家努力自学惊恐地丢下我的画笔。

当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时，更是惊慌失措。

来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰?莱佛利爵士的妻子。

"'Painting!' she declared. 'What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush — the big one.' She plunged into the paints and before I k new it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the abs olutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I hesitate d no more. I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim wi th wild fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since."‘在画画呢!’她大声说道。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第二册的课文翻译(1-4单元)我的父亲温斯顿·丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的，当时他正身处逆境。

1915年，作为海军大臣，他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的，但它却失败了，人员伤亡惨重，为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价：他被免去了海军部的职务，失去了显赫的政治地位。

“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。

被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。

在那儿，正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的，“绘画女神拯救了我!”一天他正在花园里漫步，正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。

他观看了她几分钟，然后借过她的画笔，试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。

自那天以后，温斯顿便爱上了绘画。

任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。

于是，她赶紧去买来她所能找到的各种颜料和画具。

水彩颜料、油画颜料、纸张、帆布画布---很快耘锄农场里便堆满了一个绘画者可能想要或需要的各样东西。

画油画最终成了温斯顿的一大爱好---但是最初几步却出奇地艰难。

他凝视着他的第一块空白画布，异乎寻常地紧张。

他日后回忆道：“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料，然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。

就在这时，我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音，于是惊恐地丢下我的画笔。

当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时，更是惊慌失措。

2.他绝不妥协的个性是他再也无法容忍他的雇主，并最终递交了辞职书的原因。

His uncompromising personality explains why he could no longer put up with his employer and eventually submitted his resignation.4.有些演员的名声靠的是他们天生的美貌，但是Dustin Hoffman尽管身材矮小，还是出类拔萃，而使他与众不同的正是他精湛的演技。

The same can be said of other subjects.Some actors fame is built on their innate beauty, but despite his short stature, Dustin Hoffman rose above and it is his excellent acting that set him apart.6.当邓小平宣布中国改革开放政策的时候，他被永远载入了史册。

尽管障碍重重，他以不懈的努力为我国的现代化作出了永久性的贡献。

Deng Xiaoping made history when he declared China's reform and opening-up policy. Despite tremendous obstacles, he made lasting contributions to our country's modernization with his unrelenting efforts.8.这位教师真了不起，她能在教东西之前调动学生的积极性。

这并不是因为她有天赋，而是因为她只想着在课堂上吸引他们的注意力。

This teacher is really remarkable in first motivating her students so she can really teach them something. It's not that she is talented, it's that she focuses completely or drawing their full attention in class.2.约翰真诚的讲话表达了他对那些在他处于困境时给过他慷慨帮助的人们的感激之情。
