Unit 1Fresh Start Language Points

全新的开始我第一次开始思考我的大学要做些什么，不管怎样我的父母把我送到大学校园便开车离开了，我一个人孤零零地站在停车场，此时此刻我只想平安地找到去我宿舍的道路。

一个无法改变的事实是无论我认为自己多么成熟，我都觉得还是有点儿大一新生的稚气。

此外我还有一个烦恼就是总觉得大学里的每一个人好像都在注意我。

我只想张开耳朵闭起嘴巴希望这样就不会有人注意到我是一个大一新生。

基于这种想法，我抬起头，耸耸肩，于是一边看着手里的校园地图，一边朝着宿舍走去。

当我第一眼看到一个真正的大学足球运动员时我情不自禁地盯着他看。

那是是一个多么自信，多么淡定，肌肉多么有型的人啊。

此时我只希望能引起他注意的是我的外貌而不是我颤抖的膝盖。

我花了一下午的时间来找每一间教室的位置，这样以后上课时就可以准时赶到，而不用问我们教室在哪儿这样愚蠢的问题。

第二天的早上我去上第一节课。

然而我刚进教室，又遇到了另一件麻烦事。

我该坐哪儿呢?新生手册上说我们最好尽量往前坐。

这样就会给教授留下聪明好学又精力旺盛的印象。

仔细考虑之后，我选择了第一排靠边的一个位置。

虽然我坐在前排，但是没有在教授的视线范围之内。

我打开了我的美国文学选集然后在排版整齐的书上随便地写上日期。

“欢迎来到101教室的生物课堂，”教授开始了他的开场白。

然而我的脖子后面却冷汗直冒，我摸到了我的时间表，然后校对了一下门牌号。

我才发现我进对了教室却跑错了教学楼。

现在怎么办呢?上课期间起身离开?这样教授难道不会生气吗?我知道如果这样每个人都会盯着我看。

别胡思乱想了。

我坐在椅子上装成生物专业的学生的样子，身体稍微地向前倾，我绷紧胳膊准备疯狂地做笔记，并悄悄地骂娘。

墙上挂着的那些瓶装的蛇似乎也在暗示我应该认真点。

下课后我饿的肚子直叫，于是我飞奔到自助餐厅。

我的托盘上放着美味的三明治然后便走向了卖色拉的窗口，结果一不小心踩上了一堆番茄酱。

此时想要站直并摆脱窘境一点也不容易，我也开始控制不住我的腿。

正在我准备想别的办法时，我的托盘开始倾斜，我一下子失去了平衡。

It is a fresh start. You begin your journey with military training. The freshmen with the green military uniform have become a beautiful scenery line in the universities. Here comes my question:1. Do you think military training is necessary? Why or why not?Pros: It builds our body and confidence. Good heath is the foundation of a meaning life. It also seems to build teamwork among individual classes which is beneficial to our future career. It develops a spirit of discipline in life and help us better obey university rules. Another advantage is that it gives the students a taste of the military life. They have more respect for the men who protect their country, and they may even decide to pursue a military career. It can help shape our character and cultivate a spirit of endurance and willpower. The military drill is very tough, but it provides an opportunity to learn not to give up when faced with difficulties.Cons: military training often takes place in summer. It is too hot and is harmful to the health of students. And some instructors are likely to use physical punishment which leads to hurts in body and soul to students. They say that a short period of training can neither build up the bodies nor strengthen the willpower of college students. They argue that more attention should be paid to the daily exercise and activities. It is a waste of time and we should focus our attention on study.2. What are your expectations of your college life?You can acquire specialized knowledge about your major and develop my creative thinking ability and research skills. You have the opportunities to make more new friends and share ideas with people of different minds. You can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people fro diverse backgrounds and cultures.

The i mportance of “f ace”“Face” is a sense of worth that comes from knowing one’s status and reflects concern with the congruency between one’s pe rformance or appearance and one’s real worth.“Face” stands for a very important sociolog ical concept in Chinese culture. The concept of “face” roughly translates as honour, good reputation or respect. The essence of “face” lies in the drive for acceptance and approval of other people other than one’s real worth.2. Be yourself; everyone else is already taken. — Oscar WildeBeing yourself is celebrating you, as an individual —learning to express yourself and be happy with who you are.
