They also found that89%of those students had cellphones,most of them with text and Web surfing capabilities.They are more wired than ever—but they’re also getting warier.Increasingly,they’ve had to deal with online bullies,who are posting anything from unflattering photos to online threats.Privacy issues also are hitting home,most recently when students discovered that personal updates on their Facebook pages were being automatically forwarded to contacts they didn’t necessarily want to have the information.Facebook was forced to let users turn off the data stream after they rebelled.例如,在10月的儿科学期刊上,斯坦福大学的研究人员发布了一项关于旧金山地区中中高收入高中学生的研究结果。

He investigated the nature of magnetism and electricity. He even coined the word “electric” and named the ends of a magnet “north pole” and “south pole”. He started the study on the relationship between magnetism and electricity, though sadly he didn’t complete it. His research method was revolutionary in that he used experiments rather than pure logic and reasoning like the ancient Greek philosophers did. It was a new attitude toward scientific investigation. Until then, scientific experiments had not been favored.America’s Lacking Language SkillsI. Search Readingi. Knowing a foreign language have a host of cognitive and academic benefits.

Unit1 从能力到责任当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。
他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。
年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们对未来的认识还是很模糊的。
处于像他们这样前程未定的年龄阶段,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。
一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也陷入了两难的境地。
一方面,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。
最终而言,大学教育素质的衡量取决于毕业生是否愿意为他们所处的社会和赖以生存的城市作出贡献。
尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有意识到对社会所负有的责任,他才能够认识到自身的潜力。
一个人如果一味地以自我为中心,他将会失去自我。
”本科教育必须对这种带有理想主义色彩的观念进行自我深省,使学生超越以自我为中心的观念,以诚相待,服务社会。
在这一个竞争激烈\残酷的社会,人们期望大学生能报以正直、文明,,甚至富有同情心的人格品质去与人竞争,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合?毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。
美国的教育必须立刻采取行动,使教育理所当然地承担起弥合公共政策与公众的理解程度之间的极具危险性且在日益加深的沟壑这一职责。
那些要求人们积极思考政府的议程并提供富于创意的意见的信息似乎越来越让我们感到事不关己。
所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。
设想,怎么可能让一些非专业人士去讨论必然带来相应后果的政府决策的问题,而他们甚至连语言的使用都存在困难?核能的使用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。
类似的一头雾水的感觉,公众曾经尝试过。
当他们试图弄懂有关“星球大战”的辩论的问题时,那些关于“威慑”与“反威慑”等高科技的专业术语,曾让公众一筹莫展。

Whether in meetings or formal presentations, business professionals are required to speak with confidence and credibility. However, many have not had any education or instruction in how to deliver effective presentations. Many professionals feel fear and anxiety about the process and in fact, they may try to avoid giving presentations because of the stress that the assignment causes.“Ten Simple Rules” presents what the author thinks to make a good oral presentation.

研究生英语教程课文翻译Unit 1 Ghosts for Tea“十便士看一次海湾风光,”那个带着一架望远镜的老头说道:“多么晴朗美丽的早晨。
请来看看那古老的灯塔和1935年失事的大轮船残骸吧。
”要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。
峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。
海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。
山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。
离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。
说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。
当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。
“您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗?”他压低了嗓音对我说。
“我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,”我说。
“这可不是传说,”那老头郑重其事地说。
“我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。
一切都发生在50年前的今天。
让我说给您听听吧。
”他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。
“整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,”他开始说。
“咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。
岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。
他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。
马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。
多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并似乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。
不过各自心里还有些怨恨。
因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。
”“离今50年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。
“第二天早上,灯光依然可见。
风暴已经平息了,人们派出一条救生船前去查看情况。
等待人们的却是一个不忍目睹的场面——马丁和布莱克的起居室一片骇人景象,桌子翻倒在地,一副牌散得到处都是,地板上溅满了血迹。

1、摩天大楼一度曾被认视为成功的象征、经济强大的标志物、高科技的成果和自尊心的满足等等。
9.11 事件后, 建筑师们为摩天大楼的安全性和实用性进行了激烈的辩论。
有的认为摩天大楼是诱人的攻击目标、是不堪一击的危险建筑物, 不宜再建造; 有的觉得只要总结经验, 改进设计方案, 加强防范措施, 就应该没有什么大的问题, 不必太担心; 有的则持怀旧情绪, 认为人类应该居住得离地面更近一些. 总之, 建造摩天大楼的时代已经结束了呢, 还是向更深层次发展,人们只好拭目以待了。
Skyscrapers are for a time viewed as the symbol of success, powerfully economic totems, achievements of high technology and ego-feeding. After the Sept.11 attack, a debate has raged among architects over the safety and practicality of the skyscrapers. Some architects consider that it is inadvisable to re-erect skyscrapers which are tempting a target and fragile deathtraps. Some think that there is no need to worry about it, if experience is summed up, design proposals are improved, and countermeasures are strengthened, it will be no big problems. Others are still nostalgic for the past, believing that human beings should live closer to the earth. In short, people have to wait expectantly for the fact that the era of constructing skyscrapers is over or is developing into a deeper level.2、毕业前夕,我认真地反思我的大学生活,决定向研究生院提出申请继续学习。
进研究生院学习有好处也有弊端。
特别是开始时会遇到很多障碍。
此外,研究生们终日在实验室里做着同样的实验,当进展甚微时,那种挫折感是巨大的。
这也是为什么研究生院的辍学率如此之高的原因之一。
所以你最好确定你的选择是正确的。
要想在研究生院获得成功,你必须学会独立工作,学会与实验室的人们合作与交流;你必须热爱你的专业并拥有研究的热情;你还必须能够经得起失败,能够从微小的成功中获得满足。
On the eve of graduation, I reflected on my college life and decided to apply to graduate school for further studies. There are both positive and negative aspects of studying in graduate school. Particularly when starting out, there will be lots of hurdles. Apart from that, graduate students spend all day in lab working on the same experiments. When little progress is made, the frustration is great. This is one of the reasons why the dropout rate is so high in graduate school. Therefore, you'd better be sure that your choice is rightfor you.To succeed in graduate school, you must learn to work your own hours, to collaborate and interact with people in your lab; you must love your discipline and have a passion for research; you must also be resistant to failure and be able to take satisfaction in small successes.3、科学家们用各种各样的方法来研究自然,有的方法比较直接,有的比较间接。
无论采用何种方式,他们所做的研究工作总是遵从一定的模式,这种研究自然的普遍模式通常被称作科学的研究方法。
它一般包括以下四个步骤:1. 确定研究问题,2. 观察和实验,3. 解释数据,4. 进一步观察和实验来验证解释。
我们把科学方法分成以上四个步骤并不是说科学家在做研究工作时必须要严格遵从以上顺序,有时这四个步骤几乎是同步进行的,更多的时候,实验和对实验的解释是分别由不同的研究人员或实验小组做出的。
总之,科学的研究方法不是一个机械的过程,而是一个充满创造性思维的过程。
Scientists study nature in a variety of ways. Some approaches are quite direct; others are indirect. Whatever approaches scientists may adopt in their research work, they always follow a certain pattern of steps. This general pattern for looking at the universe has become known as the scientific method. It includes the following four steps: 1. formulating a problem, 2. observation and experiment, 3. interpreting the data, and 4. testing the interpretation by further observation and experiment. To sum up, the scientific method is not a mechanical process but a process involving creative thinking.4、1967年12月3日,一位南非医生克利斯蒂安•伯尔纳德(Christiaan Barnard)将一位24岁姑娘的心脏植入一位50岁男人的胸膛。
这个手术吸引了全世界人们的注意力。
有报道说,有一家电视公司愿出100万美元购得这位男人心脏的一张照片。
在美国有另一个人一直在从事器官移植的研究。
他就是诺尔曼•绥姆威(Norman Shumway)。
在经历了20年的动物实验之后,他教给克利斯蒂安•伯尔纳德( Christiaan Barnard) 医生器官移植的技术。
后者已成为当今世界上顶级心脏外科医生。
在解决了排异现象之后,他还解决了许多手术早期的问题。
他的成功率相当高,100个病人当中可以有59人成活下来。
On December 3, 1967, Christiaan Barnard, a South African doctor, transplanted a 24-year old girl’s heart into the chest of a 50-year old man. This operation aroused the imagination of the whole world. There was a story that a television company would pay a million dollars for a single photo of the old man’s heart.In the United States there was another man who had been engaged in the investigation of organ transplantation. It was Norman Shumway who taught Dr. Christiaan Barnard the techniques of organ transplant, after twenty years of experiments on animals. Thelatter has become one of the foremost heart surgeons in the world of today. He has solved many earlier problems of operation posterior to the solution to rejection. His success rate of operation is high, because there are 59 out of 100 cases who can survive from his operation.5、在全球化的今天,为保持在职业市场上的竞争力,也为了更好地参与文化和社会生活,我们必须终身学习。
我们需要学习新的技能,需要进一步提高现有的技能,需要新的更快的技能学习方式。
网络教育在高等教育和职业培训方面提供了很多选择。
无论身在加拿大、美国、欧洲还是澳大利亚,网络教育给了我们随时随地学习的方便。
我们很多人,尤其是上班族,无法进行全日制的学习,在学校攻读学位。
但通过网络攻读学位,我们把教学带进了办公室和家庭,根据自己的进度和时间在方便之时学习。
我们可以通过网络取得名校的学位,无论那个学校在市内、国内还是在国外。
In today's global society, learning is required throughout our lives – not only to remain competitive in job markets, but also to enhance our individual participation in culture and society. We need to learn new skills, we need further training for existing skills and we need new and faster ways to learn these skills.Online Education offers you a wide choice in higher education and professional training. Whether you are in Canada, the United States, Europe or Australia, online learning offers you anytime and anywhere convenience. Many of us, especially those of us who are already employed full time, cannot take the time off to pursue a full degree in school. Taking our degree online brings education into our offices or home so we can learn at our own pace, at our own time and at our convenience. We can take a recognized degree from awell-known university online, even if that school is across town, across the nation or across the world.。
