UNIT1思考作为一种嗜好当我还是个孩子的时候，我就得出了思考分三种等级的结论。

后来思考成了嗜好，我进而得出了一个更加离奇的结论，那就是：我自己根本不会思考。

第一个把思考这个问题带到我面前的是我文法学校的校长。

他的办公室里有一些小雕像。

就在他书桌后面一个高高的橱柜上面。

其中一位女士除了一条浴巾外一丝不挂。

她好象被永远地冻结在对浴巾再往下滑的恐惧中了。

而不幸的是她没有手臂，所以无法把浴巾拉上来。

在她的身边蜷伏着一头美洲豹，好象随时都会往下跳到档案橱柜最上层的抽屉上去。

在豹子的另一边端坐着一个健硕的裸体男子，他手肘支在膝头，手握拳托着腮帮子，全然一副痛苦不堪的样子。

过了一些时候，我对这些雕像有了一些了解。

才知道校长把它们放在正对着犯错的孩子的位置是因为对校长来说这些雕像象征着整个生命。

那位裸体的女士是维纳丝。

她象征着爱。

她不是在为浴巾担心，而是忙着显示美丽。

美洲豹象征着自然，它在那里显得很自然而已。

那位健硕的裸体男子并不痛苦，他是洛丁的思索者，一个纯粹思索的象征。

我想我得解释一下，我是校长办公室的常客，为我最近做过或者没做的事情。

用现在的话来说我是不堪教化的。

甚至还不如说，我是顽劣不羁，头脑迷糊的。

每次在校长桌前接受处罚，那些雕像在他上方白晃晃地耀眼时，我就会垂下头，在身后紧扣双手，两只鞋不停地蹭来蹭去。

校长看着我然后说，“我们该拿你怎么办呢？”哦，他们要拿我怎么办呢？我盯着旧地毯更狠命地蹂躏我的鞋。

“抬起头来，孩子！你就不能抬起头来吗？”然后我就会抬起头来看橱柜，看着裸体女士被冻结在恐惧中，健硕的男子无限忧郁地凝视着猎豹的后腿。

我跟校长没什么好说的。

他的镜片反光，所以我看不到镜片后面有什么人性的东西，所以没有交流的可能。

“你从来都不动脑筋思考的吗？”不，我不思考，刚才没思考，也不会思考——我只是在痛苦地等待接见结束。

“那你最好学一学——你学了吗？”有一次，校长跳起身来伸手取下洛丁的杰作重重地放在我面前的桌上。

Key to ExercisesPreview第一大题1.This article was written in praise of the heroes and the heroism demonstrated during an air crash which took place in WashingtonD.C. in the year 1982.2.The terrible crash occurred in cold winter when a jet plane from Washington National Airport hit the bridge over the Potomac river. The plane dropped into the river and soon sank/ went under, bring many passengers down with it. Those who managed to get out of the plane found themselves in icy-cold water.3.Disasters are always terrible because they mean great damage and loss of life. As disasters go, this air crash was nothing very special. But because of the four heroes, it brought millions to tears or attention. Three of them formed a police helicopter team, andthey risked their lives again and again as they tried to pick up survivors. But the greatest hero was a man known as “the man in the water”because his name was never found. He was seen clinging to the tail of the plane with five other passengers. But every time a lifeline or flotation ring was dropped to him, he passed it on to another of the passengers. Those passengers survived. But the man did not.4.The emotional impact of this display of courage and noble character was tremendous, because it showed human nature at its best. This man in the water must have been an ordinary person. Before the air crash, he would never have guessed what a heroic deed he was going to perform that day, but when the great test came, he rose to the occasion.5.The author believes that this disaster filled people with a sense of pride rather than sadness, because in the contest between indifferent natural forces and the moral power of human beings, human beings have won.The man went down in the river, but he actually rose to immortality.第二大题1.The unusual element is the bridge, because normally, air crashes do not involve a bridge. Note: The word “element” means a factor or a basic part of something complicated.2.“A city of form and rules” means a city that is shapely or beautiful and orderly, but it suddenly turned into its opposite and became chaotic, turning into a state of complete disorder and confusion.The two metals here refers to the bridge and the plane, both of which are made of metal, or more specifically, iron and steel钢铁.3.From the point of view of artistic beauty, there was also a clash or conflict, because the plane was painted into blue and green, the river and black, and the chunks of ice were grey. Mixture of different types of color would make the viewers uncomfortable, so they wou ld regard this scene as “aesthetic clash”.4.Perhaps people did not regard this air clash as a failure at all. They all saw the triumph of human nature over the elements.5.Here human nature and natural powers are in conflict/clash.“Groping and struggling” re fers to the fact that normally it is human instinct本能；天性to grope for something to hang on to (=to hold on; to survive) and to struggle for life.6.Rise to the occasion: to deal successfully with a problem or situation that is especially difficult.7.The sente nce means “Three out of the four acknowledged heroes...are able to account for their behavior”.Account for: to give a satisfactory explanation.8.In the line of duty: while working; while on duty9.Skutnic added that somebody had to go in the water saying what every hero would say under the circumstances, but although the remark has been repeated by many heroes, it isstill admirable.10.It means the main reason for the emotional impact, or the person who caused the great emotional impact.11.Mass casualty: a great number of people injured and killed in an accident or battle. The word “mass” here is an adjective, meaning affecting a lot of people. Cf: mass murder; mass killing; mass destruction; mass hysteria; mass protest; mass movement; mass unemployment; the mass media; the mass market; mass-produce v; mass-produced adj.; mass production. Derivation: massacre; massiveCommitment: a sense of duty and responsibility and a determination to work hard at it.12.As his name remained unknown, it made him a sort of symbol, a symbol of what human beings can do when they are at their best. 13.“listening to...” is a participle phrase used as an adverbial of manner, modifying thepredicate of the main clause “sitting”; “tell...” and “saying...” are both part of the complex object of “listening to”; and “to fasten...” is part of the complex object of “tell”.14.In the essential, classic circumstance: in the most significant/crucial/decisive and typical circumstance15.The age-old battle between human beings and nature16.Go at each other: to fight each other violentlyAct on principles: to act according to the distinction between good and evil; to act according to moral principles17.It means that when the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival, in the same way he seemed to be also saving the lives of those who watched him, making them understand life’s true meaning. 18.Hold it to a standoff: make nature unable to win the battle immediately (迫使自然接受在和人的斗争中的僵持局面，使它不能马上得逞)Vocabulary第一大题第一小题1.Incompetence2.Immoral3.Impossible4.Incomplete5.Impersonal6.Incredible7.Indirect8.Immovable9.Immortal10.Impolitermal12.Improper13.Impartial14.Impatient15.Incorrect16.Incapable17.Insignificant18.Impractical19.Imperfect20.Insensitive21.Impermissible22.Impenetrable23.Indifferent24.Immovable25.Invisible26.Immodest27.Immature28.Invaluable29.Invariable30.immeasurable第二小题(1)-ee: noun.

现代大学英语精读4课后答案（外语教学出版社）Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyAnswers:I. I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all. The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively. I was demanded to learn thinking there. People like Mr. Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy. The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security. A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it .Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living. I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1 . C2 . C3 . D4 . D5 . C6 .B7 .C 8. D 9 .D 10. D 11. B 12 .D 13 .D 14 .B 15 .
