Unit OneListening Task 1The neighborhood children my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls-and-house indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I’d curl up in a chair reading fairytales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures. Sometimes around the fourth grade, my “big”(often critical, judgmental) Grandma, who’d been visiting us said to me, “What’s wrong with you? Why don’t the other children want to play with you?”I remember being startled and confused by her question. I’d never been particularly interested in playing with the other children. It hadn’t, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd or something with me. Nor had it occurrred to me that they didn’t “want to play with” me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fourth grade. At the wardrobe, listening to classmates joking, chattering and laughing with each other, I realized I hadn’t a clue about what was so funny or of how to participate in their easy chatter. They seemed to live in a universe about which I knew nothing at all. I tried to act like others but it was so difficult. I felt confused and disoriented. I turned back to my inner world: reading books, writing and daydreaming. My inwardness grew me in ways that continued to move me further away from the world of my age peers. The easy flow of casual social chat has remained forever beyond my reach and beyond my interest, too.Listening Task 2The greatest difficulty for me is that as a person of mixed origin I am at home neither here nor there. Wherever I am, I am regarded as being foreign, either “white”or “blac k”. It happens to me when I live in my mother’s country of origin, in Switzerland, and it happened to me when I was living in my father’s country, Ivory Coast. I would feel at home where I could feel that people accept me just the way I am! When you are a small child you first do not feel that you are different from the others. But soon the others will make you feel different – and children too can be very cruel in their behavior against the “strange child”. Sometimes incredible incidents happen. Some time ago I was riding my bike somewhere in a little place in Switzarland nearby to where I live. A car drove by, and the male driver opened the window and yelled at me: “Scheiss –Neger –dirty nigger!”I almost froze. I felt helpless and unable to defend myself. When I looked at the number plate, I saw that it was a German number plate. This means that the insulting person himself was a foreigner in this country! How could he dare insult me like this? I felt that I wanted to kill this man. When I recovered I was able to think about it more clearly. These racist people are just stupid and do not know anything about life.。

第二册第一单元TEXT A牛津大学牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府。

牛津大学始建于12世纪。

它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。

牛津大学有16,300多名学生（1999－2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一。

他们来自130多个国家。

牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私人学院。

5个私人学院中，有3个只招男生。

学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。

牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。

部分管委会成员都称为导师的学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。

每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，遴选自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。

大学提供某些图书馆、实验室和其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。

牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。

导师每周和1到2名学生见面一次，学生如需专业指导，还可以去约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。

学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。

学位由大学授予，而不是各个学院。

最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。

牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予最高的学位，颁发文凭和证书。

罗兹德奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生，为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。

英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学里求学的美国公民提供"马歇尔奖学金"。

然而，奖学金和助学金的竞争极其激烈，而且通常要求很严。

学生们在申请某一项奖学金之前应仔细核查是否有资格，因为多数奖学金对学生国籍和（或）课程都有限制。

牛津师生员工积极参与主动招生的活动，2001年这种活动有55项以上，包括走访3,700所中学，以鼓励优秀学生报考牛津大学，而不管其背景如何。

在2001年度的"创新"竞赛中，牛津大学被授予英国最具创新精神的大学称号。

该竞赛旨在发现哪一所英国大学在最广的领域内取得了创新和进取的最大成就。

His second recommendation was to be open to learning from fellow students, especially those with different backgrounds, cultures or beliefs. Thirdly, Hennessy encouraged the class to take advantage of the great research opportunities at Stanford.Finally, he encouraged the students to view their time at Stanford as a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

The changes we have brought in our environment — from global warming to the reduction and extinction of various fl ora and fauna — force us to face the question of how we will build a model for sustainable existence.The environmental changes, such as global warming and the decreasing and dying out of various plants and animals, pose a severe question. That is: how we should develop an existence pattern in which we can maintain our environmental sustainability.2. Events around the world remind us that we share a small planet among peoples with different beliefs, hopes and cultures, and that understanding and appreciating their ambitions and their history will be critical to building a better world for all.What happens in the world reminds us that we live on and have to share the same “small planet” with peoples who have different beliefs, hopes, and cultures. And we should recogn ize and value each other’s desires, hopes, ambitions and each other’s culture and history, which is crucial to building a better world for us all.3. I hope that you will discover a new understanding and appreciation for the pluralistic society in which we live and fi nd constructive ways to contribute to the world.I hope you will fi nd a new way to understand and appreciate the diversifi ed society we live in and fi nd your own way to serve it.4. You have chosen to attend a university that is not only a great educational institution; it is also a great research institution.The university you attend not only offers you the best opportunity to learn, but also provides you with the best facilities and resources to do research work.5. But it is your children, as individuals, who will choose what excites them, what generates intellectual passion and what engages their very able minds.But it is up to your children to decide what ignites their eagerness to learn, what can stimulate their passion for knowledge, and what is the focus of attention of these talented people.6. I hope your time here transforms your lives, just as it has transformed the lives of so many alumni.I hope your university life here will be a once-in-a-lifetime journey and makes you ready for a new life, just as it has done to so many of the university’s graduates.III General Writing: The Subjunctive Mood The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, suggestions, orders or statements contrary to fact. In these types of statements the subjunctive were is used instead of the indicative was. Thepresent subjunctive form of the verb to be is invariably be for all persons, and the past subjunctive form of the verb to be is invariably were. In all other verbs the subjunctive form varies from the indicative only in that, in the present tense, the third person singular ending is lost.Examples:I wish I were a little girl. (wish)I suggest that he take the subway to his friend’s house. (suggestion)The instructions were that ten sentences be revised. (order)If I were you, I would give his suggestion strong consideration. (statement contrary to fact)If I were to go abroad ,I would go to America.如果明天下雨的话，我们会取消比赛．If it should \were to rain, we would call off the match.。
