第五课The Treasure in the OrchardAn old gardener who was dying sent for his two sons to come to his bedside, as he wished to speak to them. When they came in answer to his request, the old man, raising himself on his pillows, pointed through the window towards his orchard."You see that orchard?" said he."Yes, Father, we see the orchard.""For years it has given the best of fruit - golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies!""To be sure, Father. It has always been a good orchard!"The old gardener nodded his head, time and time again. He looked at his hands - they were worn from the spade that he had used all his life. Then he looked at the hands of his sons and saw that their nails were polished and their fingers as white as those of any fine lady's."You have never done a day's work in your lives, you two!" said he. " I doubt if you ever will! But I have hidden a treasure in my orchard for you to find. You will never possess it unless you dig it up. It lies midway between two of the trees, not too near, yet not too far from the trunks. It is yours for the trouble of digging - that is all!Then he sent them away, and soon afterwards he died. So the orchard became the property of his sons, and without any delay, they set to work to dig for the treasure that had been promised them.Well, they dug and dug, day after day, week after week, going down the long alleys of fruit trees, never too near yet never too far from the trunks. They dug up all the weeds and picked out all the stones, not because they liked weeding and cleaning, but because it was all part of the hunt for the buried treasure. Winter passed and spring came, and never were there such blossoms as those which hung the orange and apple and cherry trees with curtains of petals pale as pearls and soft as silk. Then summer threw sunshine over the orchard, and sometimes the clouds bathed it in cool, delicious rain. At last the time of the fruit harvest came. But the two brothers had not yet found the treasure that was hidden among the roots of the trees.Then they sent for a merchant from the nearest town to buy the fruit. It hung in great bunches, golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies. The merchant looked at them in open admiration."This is the finest crop I have yet seen," said he, " I will give you twenty bags of money for it!"Twenty bags of money were more than the two brothers had ever owned in their life. They struck the bargain in great delight and took the money - bags into the house, while the merchant made arrangements to carry away the fruit."I will come again next year," said he, " I am always glad to buy crop like this. How you must have dug and weeded and worked to get it!"He went away, and the brothers sat eyeing each other over the tops of the money-bags. Their hands were rough and toil-worn, just as the old gardener's had been when he died."Golden oranges and red apples and cherries bigger and brighterthan rubies," said one of them, softly." I believe that this is the treasure we have been digging for all year, the very treasure our father meant!"一个老园丁快死了，叫人把两个儿子叫到床边来，因为他想要对他们说话。
21 世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译Text A 大学——我一生中的转折点佚名作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。
我害怕独自一人在外，因为我是第一次远离家人。
这里周围都是我不认识的人，而他们也不认识我。
我得和他们交朋友，或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。
他们比我更聪明吗？我跟得上他们吗？他们会接受我吗？我很快就认识到，我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。
如果我要在学业上取得成功，我就必须制定一份学习计划。
我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。
我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉，什么时候吃什么，什么时候喝什么，对什么人表示友好。
这些问题我都得自己回答。
开始时，生活有点艰难。
我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。
我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。
我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。
然而不久，我就控制住了自己的生活。
我做到了按时上课，完成并交上了第一批作业，而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。
此外，我还交了一些朋友，跟他们在一起我感到很自在，我能把我担心的事告诉他们。
我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。
结果，我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。
我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。
凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定，这种感觉很好。
我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。
我未来的生活将会怎样呢？在人生的这一阶段，我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方，我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。
但我知道，我能应对未来，因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍：我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。

You'll Never Be Famous-And That'sOKBy Emily Esfahani Smith'1 Today's college students desperately want to change the world, but too many thinkthat living a meaningful life requires doing something extraordinary and remarkable like becoming an Instagram star, starting a wildly successful company or ending a humanitarian crisis.2 Having hopes and dreams for the future is ,of course ,part of being young .But thanksto social media , purpose and meaning have become merged with prestige :Extraordinary lives look like the norm on the Internet .Yet the idea that a meaningful life must be orappear remarkable is not only limited but also misguided .Over the past five years ,I've interviewed dozens of people across the country about what gives their lives meaning ,andI've read through thousands of pages of psychology ,philosophy and neuroscience researchto understand what truly brings people satisfaction .3 The most meaningful lives ,I've learned ,are often not the extraordinaryones .They're the ordinary ones lived with dignity .4 There's perhaps no better expression of that wisdom than George Middlemarch ,a book I think every college student should read .At 700-some pages ,it requires devotionand discipline ,which is kind of the point .Much like a meaningful life ,the completion ofthis book is hard-won and requires effort .The heroine of the novel is Dorothea Brooke ,a wealthy young gentlewoman in a provincial English town .Dorothea has a passionatenature and yearns to accomplish some good in the world as a philanthropist .The novel'shero ,Tertius Lydgate , is an ambitious young doctor who hopes to make importantscientific discoveries .Both hope to lead epic lives .5 Both Dorothea and Tertius end up in disastrous marriages-she to the preacherMr .Casaubon ,he to the town beauty Rosamond .Slowly ,their dreams wither away . Rosamond ,who turns out to be vain and superficial ,wants Tertius to pursue a career paying enough to support her extraordinary tastes ,and by the end of the novel ,he yields , abandoning his scientific quest to become a doctor to the rich .Though conventionally'" successful", he dies at 50believing himself a failure for not following through on hisoriginal life plan .6 As for Dorothea , after the Reverend Casaubon dies , she marries her true love ,Will Ladislaw .But her larger ambitions go unrealized .At first it seems that she ,too ,haswasted her potential .7 Tertius's tragedy is that he never reconciles himself to his dull reality .Dorothea's triumph is that she does .8 By novel's end ,she settles into life as a wife and a mother ,and becomes ,Eliotwrites ,the "foundress” of nothing ".It may be a letdown for the reader ,but not for Dorothea .She pours herself into her roles as mother and wife with " beneficent activity which she had not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for herself ".9 Looking out of her window one day ,she sees a family making its way down the road and comes to the realization that she needs to begin to live in the moment .Rather thangive in to the despair of disappointed dreams ,she embraces her life as it is andcontributes to those around her as she can .Eliot's final words on Dorothea ,which is oneof the most beautiful passages in literature ,capture what a meaningful life isabout :connecting and contributing to something beyond the self ,in whatever humble form that may take .10 Most young adults won't achieve the idealistic goals they've set for themselves .They won't become the next Mark Zuckerberg .They won't have death notices that run in newspapers like this one .But that doesn't mean their lives will lack significance andworth .We all have a circle of people whose lives we can touch and improve ,and we can find our meaning in that .11 A new and growing body of research within psychology about meaningfulness confirms the wisdom of Eliot's novel-that meaning is found not in success and glamourbut in the ordinary .One research study showed that adolescents who did household chores felt a stronger sense of purpose .Why ?The researchers believe it's becausethey're contributing to something bigger :their family .Another study found that cheering up a friend was an activity that created meaning in a young adult's life .People who see their occupations as an opportunity to serve their immediate community find more meaning in their work , whether it's an accountant helping his client or a factory worker supporting her family with a paycheck .12 As students head to school this year ,they should consider this :You don't have to change the world or find your one true purpose to lead a meaningful life .A good life is a life of goodness ,and that's something anyone can aspire to ,no matter their dreams or circumstances .1．如今的大学生迫切希望改变世界，但太多人认为，过有意义的生活需要做一些非同寻常和非凡的事情，比如成为Instagram明星、创办一家非常成功的公司或结束一场人道主义危机。

第五课The Treasure in the Orchard An old gardener who was dying sent for his two sons to come to his bedside, as he wished to speak to them. When they came in answer to his request, the old man, raising himself on his pillows, pointed through the window towards his orchard."You see that orchard?" said he."Yes, Father, we see the orchard.""For years it has given the best of fruit - golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies!""To be sure, Father. It has always been a good orchard!"The old gardener nodded his head, time and time again. He looked at his hands - they were worn from the spade that he had used all his life. Then he looked at the hands of his sons and saw that their nails were polished and their fingers as white as those of any fine lady's."You have never done a day's work in your lives, you two!" said he. " I doubt if you ever will! But I have hidden a treasure in my orchard for you to find. You will never possess it unless you dig it up. It lies midway between two of the trees, not too near, yet not too far from the trunks. It is yours for the trouble of digging - that is all!Then he sent them away, and soon afterwards he died. So the orchard became the property of his sons, and without any delay, they set to work to dig for the treasure that had been promised them.Well, they dug and dug, day after day, week after week, going down the long alleys of fruit trees, never too near yet never too far from the trunks. They dug up all the weeds and picked out all the stones, not because they liked weeding and cleaning, but because it was all part of the hunt for the buried treasure. Winter passed and spring came, and never were there such blossoms as those which hung the orange and apple and cherry trees with curtains of petals pale as pearls and soft as silk. Then summer threw sunshine over the orchard, and sometimes the clouds bathed it in cool, delicious rain. At last the time of the fruit harvest came. But the two brothers had not yet found the treasure that was hidden among the roots of the trees.Then they sent for a merchant from the nearest town to buy the fruit. It hung in great bunches, golden oranges, red apples, and cherries bigger and brighter than rubies. The merchant looked at them in open admiration."This is the finest crop I have yet seen," said he, " I will give you twenty bags of money for it!"Twenty bags of money were more than the two brothers had ever owned in their life. They struck the bargain in great delight and took the money - bags into the house, while the merchant made arrangements to carry away the fruit."I will come again next year," said he, " I am always glad to buy crop like this.How you must have dug and weeded and worked to get it!"He went away, and the brothers sat eyeing each other over the tops of the money-bags. Their hands were rough and toil-worn, just as the old gardener's had been when he died."Golden oranges and red apples and cherries bigger and brighterthan rubies," said one of them, softly." I believe that this is the treasure wehave been digging for all year, the very treasure our father meant!" 一个老园丁快死了，叫人把两个儿子叫到床边来，因为他想要对他们说话。
