Unit 1 Personality羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。

羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。

脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。

我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。

很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。

一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。

通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。

例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。

而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。

自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。

有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。

相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。

相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。

他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。

害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。

他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。

羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。

我知道这不是真的。

”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。

由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。

例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。

如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。

人们对自己的期望必须现实。

老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。

当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。

新编大学英语文化阅读教程3教师用书Unit4Warm-upStep1BrainstormingA cost-benefit analysis is useful when I am deciding whether to study at a university near my hometown or in a more distant city.It is convenient for me to take care of my family when studying at the university near my home.I can get easy access to transportation when going home on weekends or holidays.And the living cost is lower.It would be inconvenient to go home when studying in a city far away from home. But I can live independently and acquire more life skills,and perhaps I can get greater academic improvements.Weighing the pros and cons,I made a decision to go to a distant city for higher education.When making decisions in my daily life,I usually apply the cost-benefit analysis.For instance,when deciding whether to shop online or in a real shop,I would take into account the time and transportation costs of going to a real shop.Therefore,online shopping which saves time and does not require a commute is more appealing to me.Another example I’d like to share with you is applying a cost-benefit analysis on whether I should stand up and volunteer to answer the question or keep quiet in my seat.Answering the question benefits me by exercising my spoken English.The cost is that I need to think of a reasonable answer and if I make a wrong answer I may feel embarrassed in front of my classmates.Weighing the cost and benefit,I think that it is worth making a try.Step2Sharing your ideasIn daily life,another effective economic principle that can be used is opportunity cost.Opportunity cost is the forgone benefit that would have been derived from an option not chosen.To properly evaluate opportunity costs,the costs and benefits of each option should be considered and weighed against the others.So considering the value of opportunity costs can guide individuals to make profitable decisions.Take the decision of whether to go to university or get a job after high school as an example.For the average person,the opportunity cost of going to university is32,000yuan for four years.If you find a job and earn probably3,000yuan a month,you can earn144,000yuan for fouryears.It seems like that based on the above scenario,taking a job has a financial advantage over going to university.Does that mean we shouldn’t go to university?The answer is No.Not everyone has the ability to obtain a considerable-paying job out of high school.But,people who graduate from universities typically have long-term career salaries than those without a bachelor’s degree.In the long run,the four years spent pursuing a degree in universities benefit one’s career life more and would result in a higher financial benefit.Reading1Language focus1.optimal2.bulk3.demographic4.stagnant5.prodded6.transaction7.transmit8.enormousGlobal understanding1)starker2)mores3)saving habits4)economic context5)economic transactions6)Trust levels7)financial contracts8)willingnessDetailed understanding1.T2.F3.F4.F5.T6.T7.F8.TCultural thinkingA penny saved is a penny earned.People’s attitudes towards saving or spending differ.Why do some people save more than others,even if they have similar incomes?The traditional answer has been that there are idiosyncratic differences between individuals—some of us are frugal, and some are not—while countries differ on things like demographics, credit availability,income expectations,and uncertainty.All the explanations are true.But it might not be the whole truth.It’s also possible that our savings behavior is shaped by the cultural impact of which we were brought up with.Most Asian countries,such as China,Singapore,and South Korea have traditionally had high savings rates.All these countries are influenced by the virtue of frugality.Another example is that Americans who were descended from slaves save significantly less than other Americans,even if they have the same incomes.This shows the legacy of slavery is still with us:slaves could not own property and so never had a savings culture. This absence of saving has been transmitted down the generations.Reading2Language focus1.incentive2.restrictions3.inhibit4.convincingly5.susceptible6.incomparably7.abuse8.perceptionGlobal understanding1)biased2)life experience3)acculturation4)implementation5)inequality6)interventions7)alternative narrativesDetailed understanding1.F2.F3.T4.F5.T6.TCultural thinkingVersion1:Yes,I agree with the author.Changes in people’s mindset can affect the economy.For example,in China,there is a traditional economic concept of“living within one’s means”,so traditionally people would spend money according to their savings.But with the development of society,modern young people have started to accept the idea of “spending in advance”and are consuming with credit cards.This is a huge change in mindset and has had a correspondingly impact on the development of China’s financial markets.Version2:No,I don’t agree with the author.Economic development and changes in mindset are not tightly linked.With the modernization of society,the economy in China is constantly and steadily developing and progressing.However,people living in distant rural areas can't keep up with the pace of social development.In this regard,the poverty alleviation measures of the central and local governments can help them transform their production and lifestyle,thus changing the local economic situation and achieving the result of poverty alleviation and common prosperity.Integrated thinkingAnswer1:I think my economic behavior is quite similar to my classmates. We are all financially dependent on our parents.In order to live within our means,we all like shopping online.Through shopping online,we can search for bargains and save both money and time.And we rely very much on user reviews and recommendations when shopping.Some social apps enable influencers to advertise the products.We,as young Chineseconsumers,also like spending money on dining in fancy restaurants, having entertainment,and doing sports,which I think is Gen Z’s consuming fashion.Answer2:Chinese parents always say“Don’t spend all of your money. Save it for a rainy day.”When making financial decisions,the Chinese prefer to“save”rather than“spend”.However,the economic behavior of young Chinese has changed and is not that different from young people in other countries.Answer3:Traditional Chinese culture plays a profoundly important role in young people.Most Chinese young people are still very rational in their spending and do not spend money blindly on luxuries that they cannot afford.They are more likely to spend wisely when making purchase decisions.Culture mosaic1How different cultures deal with cashVersion1:Yes,I have a habit of saving.Saving money is important because it gives me more financial security,stability,and freedom. Having savings also protects me during financial emergencies to avoid debt and reduces stress.Additionally,saving money also enables me to help others and support my family to some extent.Every month,I will budget my living expenses given by my parents rationally and wisely.Apart from essential living expenses,such as eating and accommodation,clothing,and daily necessities,I will save up the rest money.Every year at the Chinese New Year,I receive red packets from my elders.I will put the money in the bank,mostly with low-risk capital preservation projects to avoid financial risks.The saving habit allows me to rely on myself when I need to spend a large amount of money,such as on graduation travel.Version2:No,I don’t have a habit of saving.The top reason is that I believe in the philosophy of“living for today”.I don’t know what tomorrow will offer.Therefore,I want to live each day to the fullest.I like to try new things and enjoy new experiences.I spend my money on hobbies,such as camping and rock climbing,which are very exciting but also costly.The other reason is that I have no financial income.My parents provide me with monthly living expenses,so I have to live within my means and don't have much money to save.Although I may find a part-time job to earn money after school,I choose not to do so since I am spending my time mainly on the study.After all,studying is moreimportant to me now.I plan to save and invest wisely after I graduate from university and find a job.Then I can be financially independent, wisely budget my income,and achieve financial sustainable development.2From anathema to acceptability:the story of life insuranceI think life insurance is very important for me and my family.As there are always unexpected accidents,fatal injuries,and diseases in our lives.Death,disability,illness,and other hazards in our lives are all called personal hazards.Therefore,life insurance,as a method to deal with personal hazards,is important.It helps to provide financial help to the insured person.It is traditionally taboo to mention illness or death in Chinese culture.But in modern social life,these risks inevitably exist.Over the years,my attitude towards life insurance has changed.Now,I am willing to buy life insurance for myself and my family.In this way,I can at least protect my property in case of accident or danger.3Money factsI’d like to share with you a new form of currency,call e-CNY.The e-CNY,or digital yuan,is a centralized,cash-like digital currency that is expected to be primarily used for retail payments in China.The e-CNY has been applied in over a million cases,covering utility payments, catering,transportation,shopping,and government services.It can be understood as the third largest electronic payment tool after WeChat Pay and Alipay.The most important purpose of the central bank’s introduction of e-CNY is to protect the sovereignty of the currency,as well as to enhance the RMB's position in the international market.It is aimed at creating a financial infrastructure that serves billions of people around the world, such as solving the challenge of sending money internationally to people all over the world in a convenient and efficient way.。
