Unit 9 How to Grow Old1. 与本文的标题相反，本文真正要谈的是如何才能不老，在我这个年纪，这才是更为重要的主题。
我的第一条忠告是，选准了祖先再投胎。
尽管我双亲都是英年早逝，我选择的其他祖先还是不错的。
诚然，我的外祖父在67岁正值盛年的时候去世，但另外3位祖辈都活到了80多岁。
更前的祖辈中，我发现只有一位没能长寿，他死于现今罕见的死因，即遭斩首。
我有位曾祖母是吉本的朋友，在92岁去世之前始终令子孙们敬畏不已。
我的外祖母所生的孩子中9个活了下来，1个幼年夭折，此外她还有过多次流产。
守寡以后，她便立即投身于女子高等教育事业之中。
她是格顿学院的创办人之一，为了使女性能进入医生职业，她付出了很多心血。
她过去经常讲起她在意大利遇到的一位神情悲伤的老年绅士。
她询问起他悲伤的缘故，他说因为他刚刚送走了两个孙儿女。
“天哪！”她嚷道，“我有72个孙儿女，要是我每送走一个都如此悲伤，那我一生就会是凄凉的！” 他则回答说：“你这狠心的女人啊！”但作为她72个孙儿女中的一员，我则更喜欢她的处世方法。
80岁时她发现自己有些难入睡，于是她养成了午夜至凌晨3点阅读科普书籍的习惯。
我想她根本无暇注意到自己在衰老。
我认为这正是保持年轻的良方。
只要你兴趣广泛且强烈，有你还能做得了的事情，就不必为自己已经活了多少年这种纯粹的数字问题而伤神，更不必去想你来年无多的可能性。
2. 至于健康，由于我很少得病，所以提不出什么有用的建议。
我想吃就吃，想喝就喝，想睡就睡。
我做任何事情从来不是因为它对健康有益，尽管实际上我爱做的事通常都是有益健康的。
3. 从心理上说，老年人要防止两种危险。
其一是过分沉湎于往事。
人不能生活在回忆当中，也不能生活在对美好过去的惋惜或者对已故友人的哀痛之中。
一个人应当把心思放在未来、放在自己还可以有所作为的事情上。
这并不总是那么容易做到的，因为往事的分量会不断增加。
人们很容易觉得过去自己的情感比现在更活跃，思想比现在更加敏锐。

Unit 9How I Found My VoiceJames Earl Jones1 Today I am known for my voice as much as for my acting. It has been my goodfortune to receive jobs such as the speaking role of Darth Vader in George Lucas’s Star Wars trilogy and the voice-over announcer for CNN cable television. I also narrated Aaron Copland’s Lincoln Portrait on a compact disc I recorded with the Seattle Symphony. Perhaps my greatest honor came when I was asked to read the New Testament on tape.2 But it took a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When Iwas a youngster I stuttered so badly I was completely unable to speak in public.3 Since I was eight I’d had trouble speaking. It was so bad that whenever I stoodup in class to read, the other kids snickered and laughed. I always sat down, my face burning with shame.4 I’m not sure what caused my stuttering. Perhaps it was an emotional problem. Iwas born in Arkabutla, Mississippi, and when I was about five, I moved to live with my grandparents on their farm near Dublin in northern Michigan. It was traumatic moving from the warm, easy ways of catfish country to the harsh climate of the north, where people seemed so different.5 Fortunately, my granddaddy was a gentleman, a farmer who taught me to lovethe land. He was short and he had a prodigious amount of energy. He even built a church to please grandmother, a fervent worshiper of the Lord. All sorts of people were invited to our little church; white, black and American Indian came together ina nondenominational fellowship. Granddad’s Irish heritage came out in his love forlanguage; during the week he used “everyday talk”, but on Sunday he spoke only the finest English.6 As much as I admired his fluency, I couldn’t come close to it. I finally quitSunday school and church, not wanting to be humiliated any more. All through my grade school years, the only way the teacher could assess my progress was for me to write down everything I had learned.7 Oh, I could talk, all right. Our farm animals knew that. I found it easy to call thepigs, tell the dogs to round up the cows, and vent my feelings to Fanny, the horse whose big brown eyes and lifted ears seemed to express interest in all I said. But when visitors came and I was asked to say hello, I could only stand, pound my feet,and grit my teeth. That awful feeling of my voice being trapped got worse as I grew older.8 Then when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to our school. He was aretired college professor who had settled in nearby Brethren, a Mennonite community. When he heard that our agricultural high was teaching Chaucer, Shakespeare and other classics, he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school. So he left his retreat to teach us English, history and Latin.9 Donald Crouch was a tall, lean man with gray hair; English was his favoritesubject, poetry was his deepest love. He’s been an associate of Robert Frost. He helda book of poems as if it were a diamond necklace, turning pages as if uncoveringtreasures. He memorized a poem every day, explaining that if he ever lost his eyesight he would still be able to savor all that beauty.10 When he learned that I not only loved poetry but was writing it, we found akinship. There was, however, one difficulty between us. Professor Crouch (we always called him that) could not stand the fact I refused to read my poems to the class.11 “Jim, poetry is meant to be read aloud, just like sermons,” he pressed. “Youshould be able to speak those beautiful w ords.”12 I shook my head and turned away.13 Then he tricked me. I labored long and hard on a poem, and after handing it in Iwaited expectantly for his critique. It didn’t come. Instead, one day as the students assembled, he challenged me. “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this.”14 I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, anger flooding me, “of course Idid!”15 “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it frommemory.”16 By then the other students had settled at their desks. He looked at memeaningfully and nodded. With knees shaking, I walked up before my peers.17 “Jim will recite his latest poem,” announced Professor Crouch.18 For a moment I stood breathless. I could see smirks and wry smiles on somefaces. Then I began. And kept going. I recited my poem all the way through without hesitation or fault! I stood amazed and floated back to my desk in a daze, amid wild applause.19 Afterward, Professor Crouch congratulated me. “Aha,” he said. “Now we havesomething here. Not only will you have to write more poetry and read it aloud to know how good it feels, but I’m sure that you will want to read other writers’ poetrybefore the class.”20 I was dubious about that, but said I’d try.21 Soon I began to discover something other stutterers know. Most have noproblem singing because the lyrics’ rhythmic pattern flows by itself. I found the same cadences in poetry, and before long my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite. I loved the rolling beat of The Song of Hiawatha, especially since I had Indian blood in my veins.22 I discovered I did have a voice, a strong one. Under Professor Crouch’s tutelage,I entered oratorical contests and debates. He never pushed anything at me again; hejust wanted all his students to wake up.23 As my stuttering disappeared, I began dreaming of becoming an actor, like myfather, who was then performing in New York City. No one in my family had ever gone to college. But encouraged by Professor Crouch, I took exams and won a scholarship to the University of Michigan.24 There I entered the drama department and after graduation fulfilled my ROTCresponsibility by serving with the Army’s Cold Weather Training Com mand on mountain maneuvers in Colorado.25 Later, on the GI Bill, I signed up with the American Theater Wing in New Yorkand supported myself between roles by sweeping floors of off-Broadway stages. In 1962 I earned an Obie for my role in an off-Broadway production of Othello, and have been an actor ever since.26 Meanwhile, I always kept in touch with my old professor, by letter andtelephone. Every time we talked it was always, “Hi, Jim. Read any good poetry lately?” He was losing his sight and I remembered his early explanation of why he had memorized poetry. In later years when I was doing Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens at the Yale Repertory Theater in New Haven, Connecticut, I phoned him.“Can I fly you in from Michigan to see it?”27 “Jim,” he sighed, “I’m blind now. I’d hate not to be able to see you acting. Itwould hurt too much.”28 “I understand, Professor,” I said, helped in part by the realization that thoughmy mentor could no longer see, he was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he had stored.29 About two years later I learned Donald Crouch had passed on. When I wasasked to record the New Testament, I really did it for a tall, lean man with gray hair who had not only helped to guide me to the author of the Scriptures, but as thefather of my resurrected voice, had also helped me find abundant life.找回声音詹姆斯·厄尔·琼斯1 今天我在声音方面的名气一点都不逊色于我的表演。

英语听力教程(第2册)U n i t9听力原文(总6页)--本页仅作为文档封面，使用时请直接删除即可----内页可以根据需求调整合适字体及大小--Unit 9 听力原文Part IBHello, sports fans, and welcome to “This Week’s Sports”. The big news this week, of course, is the basketball championship. It started on Friday. The Lions beat the Hawks, ninety-four to sixty-eight. That score again: The Lions won. Lions ninety-four, Hawks sixty-eight.?Things were closer with the Tigers and the Eagles. The Eagles won. They won by just four points. The score: one hundred and three to ninety-nine. Again, the Eagles one-oh-three, the Tigers ninety-nine.?Next, the Panthers played the Bears. The Panthers won over the Bears, eighty-seven to seventy-three. The Panthers eighty-seven, the Bears seventy-three.?And in the last game, the Rockets beat the Comets. The Rockets won, seventy-two to sixty-five. Rockets seventy-two, Comets sixty-five.?Then on Saturday, we saw some real action. It was the Lions against the Eagles. And the Lions won, with ninety-two points. The Eagles had eighty points. The score: Lions ninety-two, Eagles eighty.?And in the other big game on Saturday, the Rockets beat the Panthers one hundred and seven to eighty-six. The Rockets won. Rockets one-oh-seven, Panthers eighty-six.?That brings us to the championship game on Sunday. It was the Lions against the Rockets. It was a good game. And in the end, the Rockets won; they had one hundred and nine points. The Lions had ninety-eight. So the new champions are the Rockets. Rockets one-oh-nine, Lions ninety-eight.?That’s it for basketball action. Turning now to the excitement of professional bowling ...CWoman: So, are you watching the cup final this weekend?Man: Um..., no, I don’t think so.Woman: Don’t you like football?Man: No. I can’t stand it. Sorry to sound so miserable.Woman: Mmm, I hate it too, but I watch the World Cup Final.Man: I can’t play, that’s my problem. I’m hopeless at it! If I’m not very good at a sport, I don’t like watching it.Woman: So, what do you like, then?Man: I play golf.Woman: Oh, right. ... My husband plays. I’m not interested in it, though. It’s...not my cup of tea. He plays golf, I go horse riding.Man: Oh right. Well you could play polo—both of you. That’s half horse riding, half golf! ...I’d love to have a go at riding, actually. I bet it’s good fun. Woman: Oh, it’s good funMan: So, do you have your own horse?Woman: No, I’d love to have one, but um ... it’s expensive.Man: Yeah. I’m quite interested in tropical fish. I’d like to have an aquarium,but ... it’s a problem if you travel a lot ...Woman: Tropical fish?Man: Yeah. I’d like to have some piranhas.Woman: Piranhas?Man: Well, they say a hundred piranhas can eat a horse in less than five minutes! Woman: Oh!Man: I’m not sure if that includes the rider or not ...Part II Yoga ExercisesPart III Match of the Day1. Today ends with a fight featuring Onokuni, also known as the Panda. He has quite an easy fight today in a match against Fujino shin. Fujino shin is heavy at 150 kilos, rather close to the ground. He’s nicknamed The Truth, which comes from a fighting name which means “The True Mount Fuji”.?The fight is delayed by a false start from Fujino shin. That worries Onokuni a little — he’s a man who doesn’t like to start too soon.?It’s the Panda who wins in the end. Fujino shin starts well, and he pushes the Panda backwards, but he doesn’t seem to be able to follow through. Onokuni is just too big to move — and in the end he pushes his way through, using the advantage of 60 extra kilos and he carries Fujino shin away. A good win for Onokuni.2. Now then, Hignita’s came about 40 meters out of the goal there to take the ball. And he must be a worried man. Well, the atmosphere is really alight now here in Naples. Roger Milla, for Cameroon, hopes to get them through to the quarter final. No African country has ever gone that far. But it’s not over yet. Can they do it againHignita comes out from the goal — he seems to want to get involved. I do not believe it, a goal, he’s thrown the chance away. Roger Milla scores. That’s it, 2-0. Roger Milla makes this World Cup belong to Cameroon. They now know that they’re on the way, I’m sure to the quarter finals. Higuita looks upset, the Colombians can’t believe it.3. And in first place is Glenda Walsh from the United States, then Kostic from Yugoslavia, and then comes Murray. But Murray is looking very comfortable indeed; and only 80 meters to go now, here comes Murray, coming up past Kostic now. it’s Walsh leading, Murray in second place. And Murray responds to the cheers of the crowd — with 80 meters to go, here she comes. Anne Murray hits the front, Walsh is beaten, and Anne Murray is going to win for Scotland. Here she is, she’s over the line in one minute seconds, and second was Glenda Walsh, but that was a good win for Anne Murray, under one minute 45 seconds, and this is only her second serious outdoor race this summer. She is looking very good.Part Ⅳ More about the topic: SportsmanshipIf you’re into sports, you’ve seen it happen. You’ve probably even experienced it. Football players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around. Tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents after a hard-fought match. Soccer players exchanging jerseys after an intense 90 minutes. Even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 1_2 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What’s going on?It’s all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity.What Is Sportsmanship?Sportsmanship is defined as:● playing fair● following the rules of the game● respecting the judgment of referees and officials● treating opponents with respectSome people define good sportsmanship as the “golden rule” of sports — in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you’d like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges. and other officials.But sportsmanship isn’t just reserved for the people on the field. Cheerleaders, fans. and parents also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.Practicing Good SportsmanshipSo what does it take to demonstrate good sportsmanship in real-life situations Here are some examples of things you can do:● Learn as much as you can about your sport. Play by its rules. Show up for practice, work hard, and realize that on a team, everyone deserves a chance to play.● Talk politely and act courteously toward everyone before, during, and after games and events.● Stay cool. Even if others are losing their tempers, it doesn’t mean you have to. Remind yourself that no matter how hard you’ve practiced and played, it is, after all, just a game.● Avoid settling disputes with violence. If you’re in a difficult situation or someone’s threatening you, seek help immediately from your coach or from an official. Remember, too, that if you respond with violence you could get penalized, which could hurt your chances of winning.● Cheer your teammates on with positive statements — and avoid trash-talking the other team.Acknowledge and applaud good plays, even when someone on the other team makes them.● When officials make a call, accept it gracefully even if it goes against you. Remember that referees may not be right every time — but they’re people who are doing their best, just as you are.● Whether you win or lose, congratulate your opponents on a game well playedPart V Memory test: Which Sport?First commentator: ... and McAlister bringing up the rear. And Brown is a good 4 yards ahead at the half-way mark and he’s still jumping smoothly and confidently. Smith is moving up steadily, though I think he’s tiring. And Brown glances back over his shoulder, he’s still got a good lead. Oh, my goodness me! He’s fallen, what a tragedy, he’s on the ground and Smith’s going past him with a smile on his face. Oh this really is a terrible disappointment for young Leroy Brown from Croydon, who had such high hopes of making the final …Second commentator: ... backhand across court to Bradford, return across the net, Davis just reaches it at full stretch with a forehand low across the net, Bradford lobs and Davis smashes the ball into the net. Oh, what a bad mistake at this stage of the match by this 22-year-old New Zealander ...Umpire: Deuce.Commentator: And Bradford serves from the left-hand court, quick passing shot from Davis who smashes that one down ...Third Commentator: ... and with sixty seconds left in this final round, Robson is still very much on the attack. A left-hand jab to the shoulder has Leonard staggering back onto the ropes and Leonard is really in trouble now as Robson moves in with that lethal right hand of his, he’s really punishing this 18-year-old Scot. And the referee’s moving forward pushing Robson away — he’s having a word with him, I think he may be going to warn him, no he’s not, he’s having a word with Leonard now. Leonard is shaking his head and looking terribly tired ...and the referee ... he’s stopped the fight ... it’s all over and so Robson is now the new ...Fourth Commentator: ... a fine shot puts the red into the center pocket and leaves him in a good position to take the pink and he’s going to try to put it into the far pocket he may be making a big mistake here, but Thompson is a very experienced player and he doesn’t usually make mistakes ... Oh dear, he’s pocketed the cue ball ... a very bad error there and that really does leave it wide open for Donovan to take the frame ...Fifth Commentator: ... so it’s the All Stars in the lead at the beginning of the third quarter and it’s still anyone’s match. Anderson with a high ball to Sampson who takes it up towards the Rochester net and passes to Green for a shot but it goes wide and the loose ball is picked up by Thomas for Rochester, across to Hunter, the 21-year-old Welsh international, who tries a long shot and it’s in! 23 all now and everything to play for ...Sixth Commentator: ... Williams takes the throw and St Mary’s get the ball, it goes back to Murphy and out to Green and then to Jones, who’s unmarked. He’s got a clear run to the far corner if ... Oh, he’s making for the post. This could be dangerous because the Richmond fullback is gaining on him now. He looks back but he’s not going to make it. He tries a kick and ... he’s just managed to make touch. Lucky there. And now there’s a lineout on the far side, 20 yards from the Richmond goal line ...Seventh Commentator: ... not a good start for the British girl but she’s managing to make it up and the Russian girl is now only about five strokes ahead. And at the turn, Debbie is closing the gap, the Russian girl is visibly tiring, this is where stamina really counts and at 24 Ludmilla may well be less fit than 15-year-old Debbie Woods. And it’s between the two of them, they’re side by side now and with 10 yards to go ... what a finish! Come on Debbie, you can do it ... Come on Debbie ...。
