Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. Understanding the Organization of the Text1) Introduction: (Para.1)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (Para.2&3)People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence.People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (Para.4-15)i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses.ii) Set reasonable goals.iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame.iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view.v) Do not make negative comments about yourself.vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully.vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences.viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate.ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly.x) Practice being in social situations.4) Conclusion: (Para.16)The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.2. Understanding Specific Information1) F2) F3) T4) T5) T6) F7) T8) F9) F10) T3. Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways. Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience.Vocabulary1. Self- is a prefix which means ―of, to or by oneself or itself.‖Words with the prefix self- that appear in the text: self-conscious, self-concept, self-assurance, self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-destructive, self-awareness, self-accept103fance, self-rejection, self-confident1) self-conscious (worried and embarrassed about what you look like or what other people think of you)2) self-confidence (belief in one’s own ability, power, judgment, etc.; confidence in oneself)3) self-esteem (the feeling that you are someone who deserves to be liked, respected, or4) self-destructive (with thoughts or actions that are counter to one’s own best interests)5) self-worth (the value you give to your life and achievements)6) self-concept (one’s conception or general idea of one’s own basic character and nature)7) self-awareness (realistic knowledge and judgment about oneself)8) self-assurance/self-confidence (the belief that you are able to deal with people and problems easily)2.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather.103fTortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself ―All of you.‖ When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presen ted to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: ―For whom have you prepared all this feast?‖ The man replied: ―For all of you.‖ So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going to the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise: You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again. Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you. Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us. Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast? Skypeople: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first. Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking Sides篇二：新编大学英语第三册课文翻译Unit 1羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

After-Class Reading迟做总比不做好1他躺在草从中，躲在那儿，同时思索着。

2他研究了这个小女孩的习惯。

他知道下午三点左右她会从外祖父的房子里出来玩耍。

3他为此举痛恨自己。

4在他悲惨的一生中，他还从来没有考虑过任何像绑架这样冷酷无情的事情。

5然而此时此刻他却躺在草丛里，被树木遮掩着，房了里的人看不见他。

他正等待着一个天真无邪、红头发、两岁人的小女孩向他走近。

6这是一次漫长的等待；有时间进行思考。

7可能在哈伦德的一生中，一切都太过匆忙。

85岁的时候，他那当农民的山地人父亲就去世了。

9 14岁的时候，他就从格林伍徳屮学辍学，开始到处流浪。

10他做过农场的临时工，但他不喜欢那工作。

11他尝试做过公共汽车的售票员，但也不喜欢那工作。

12在16岁的时候，他谎报年龄参了军——可他也不喜欢当兵。

在一年的服役期满后，他前往阿拉巴马州，在那儿试着做铁匠，但没有成功。

13 （后来）他成了南方铁路公司的恢路机车司炉工。

他喜欢那工作，以为自己找到了真正的自我。

14在18岁的时候，他结了婚。

谁知道没几个月，就在他说自己又被解雇了的那一天，他妻子说她怀孕了。

15接着，有一天，当他外出找工作的时候，他年轻的妻子散尽他们所有的家产回娘家去了。

16接下来就是经济萧条时期。

17正如人们所说的那样，哈伦德失去得太多，赢不回来了。

18他确实努力了。

19 一度，当他在铁路上不断地打各种零工的时候，他尝试过通过函授学习法律。

20但他也半途而废了。

21他尝试过卖保险、卖轮胎。

22他尝试过开渡轮，经营加汕站，但都没有用。

23面对现实吧——哈伦徳是一个失败者。

24他现在正躲在列吉尼亚州罗阿诺克郊外的杂草从里，筹划一次绑架。

25就如我所说的，他已经观察过这个小女孩的习惯，知道她下午玩耍的时间。

26但是，这一天，小女孩却没有出来玩，所以他那失败之链依旧没有中断。

27在他后来的生活中，他成了科尔宾一家餐馆的主厨和刷瓶工。

一切都挺好，直到冇一天新的公路绕餐馆而过。

第一单元善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯• J •布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。

我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。

对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。

他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。

2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。

因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。

但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。

”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。

不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。

即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。

对他来说这是一种自豪。

4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。

这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。

一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。

曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。

5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。

他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。

6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。

他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。

如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。

7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。

但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。

8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。

当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。

他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。

他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

第三单元到第六单元3单元cWhen the first plane slammed into the World Trade Center's north tower,I was already at my desk on the 88th floor.Then I felt the whole building bouncing, shaking.My instinct told me that there was an explosion above usand that we should try to get out,but the corridors were full of flames.Knowing that the furniture and the carpets were fire-resistant, I figured that everything wasn't going to burn.Then I heard someone yell that the stairwells were gone.So about 40 of us escaped into a corner office.We put papers and rags under the door to keep out the smoke as best we could.We stayed calmly in the office for about 10 minutes, thinking we were safe and secure.Then someone came in to tell us that he had found a stairwell openbut we had to move fast.We all filed out orderly and headed for the stairwell.Going down the stairs was not easy for mefor I had lost a leg to cancer when I was 16and wore an artificial limb.More or less, I used my arms to get down.When we reached the 40th floor, we came to a complete stop. There was a jam of people.The firemen were coming up the stairs, carrying their equipment.Some 100 firefighters must have walked past us.Some of them looked so young that they seemed hardly out of high school.But they were great,assuring us that they would take care of everything. Eventually we kept moving and got out.The journey down took about 40 minutes.Questions1. Where was the speaker's office?2. Why did the speaker and others escape into a corner office?3. What happened to the speaker and otherswhen they reached the 40th floor?4. What can be inferred from the passage?Unit 4 MarriagePart BA Marriage Agreement (Part One)Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement.Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement.John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.John: Tom, Linda,first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are causedwhen a person has different expectations from his or her spouse.We wanted to talk about everything openlyand honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves.Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff — clothing, papers,everything! — lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement. John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it?It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight.Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed." Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are. John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping?It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m.and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends."I'msure some people hearing thiswill think that this agreement isn't very romantic.Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic.This agreement shows that we sat down and talked,and really tried to understand the other person.A lot of problems occur in a marriagewhen people don't talk about what they want. Linda: That's right.When we disagreed about something,we worked out a solution that was good for both of us.I would much rather have Tom really listen to meand understand my needsthan give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy. Questions1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?3. What can be inferred about Linda from the conversation? Conversation 2A Marriage Agreement (Part Two)John: Linda, do you spend a lot of timechecking to see if the other person is following the rules? Arguing?Linda: No, not at all.Tom: A lot of couples arguebecause they don't understand eachother's expectations.I think we spend less time arguing than most couplesbecause we both know what the other person expects.John: What happens if one of you breaks a rule? Tom: Well, that's in Article 13 of our agreement.John: Is it? Oh yes, Article 13: Breaking Rules."If you break a rule,you must apologize and do something nice for the other person to make it up."Linda: Yeah, like last time Tom broke the rule of driving. John: What's the rule?Linda: The rule is we must ask for directions if we are driving and get lost for more than five minutes.John: What happened?Tom: We were driving to a friend's wedding, and we got lost.Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask for directions,but I thought I could figure it out.[06:09.83]Linda: Then we drove forty miles in the wrong directionand ended up being late for the wedding.Tom: So I took her out to dinner.I knew what I should do to apologize.John: That's very important, I think, knowing how to apologize. By the way, do you plan to update your agreement at all? [06:29.14]What if things change in your life and a rule doesn'twork anymore?Linda: We've thought about that too.Article 14 states that we must review this agreement once a yearand make necessary changes.John: Well, it was really nice talking to you both.Thank you very much for your time.Tom & Linda: Thank you.Questions1. How many articles are probably in Tom and Linda's marriage agreement?2. How do Tom and Linda feel about their marriage agreement?3.What will happen to their marriage agreement in a year's time?CM: Ah, come in, Barbara. Take a seat. How have things been? W: Oh, much the same.I still seem to have quarrels with my husband all the time.M: What do you quarrel about?W: Oh, everything. You see, he never thinks of my feelings. M: Go on.W: Well, I'll give you an example.You know, when the childrenstarted school,I wanted to go back to work again, too.So I got a job.Well anyway, by the time I've collected Gary and Lucy from school,I only get home about half an hour before he comes back ...M: Yes?W: Well, when he gets home, he expects me to run around and get his tea.He never does anything in the house.M: Mm.W: And last Friday he invited three of his friends to come around for a drink.He didn't tell me to expect them, and I'd had a long and difficult day.I don't think that's right, do you? M: Well, I'm not here to pass judgment. I'm here to listen. W: Sorry. And he's so untidy. He's worse than the kids.I always have to remind him to pick up his clothes.He just throws his clothes on the floor.After all, I'm not his servant. I've got my own career.Actually, I think that's part of the trouble.You see I earn as much money as he does.Questions1. Which of the following is true of the woman's husband?2. What do you know about the woman?3. What does the man think of the woman's complaints?Unit 5 YouthPart BPassage 1Exercise 1While reading a magazine, Ashley, a sixteen-year-old girl, came across an article which said that antibioticsand other drugs were discovered in European rivers and tap water.This led her to think that such drugs might also be presentin the waters near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waterscould lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms.They can kill countless people.She began testing her area's river — the Ohio.With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio over ten weeks. She taught herself to analyze the samples by reading scientific journals.It was one of the most scientifically sound projects for someone her age.Her experiment was one of the first of its kind in the United States.It showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters.Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize,a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers.She won a $5,000 scholarshipand was received by Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science came from walks in the woods with her mother.But it was the day-to-day stuff — how water comes to the tap,how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her."Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has received $70,000 in prize money,which she has put aside for college.She plans to attend Harvard University.I want to make my own discoveries,and not just read about what others have done," she said.Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize. Questions1. What is the story mainly about?2. Which of the following best describes the way the speaker tells the story?Passage 2Young People Say No to SmokingExercise 2.On February 16, 2001,the teenagers from a youth group called REBELaunched their advertising campaignat the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey.They worked on various aspects of the campaignand even appeared in the "Not for Sale" commercial on televisionand the radio against tobacco companies.REBEL stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies.It is a statewide youth initiative which fights against tobacco companies.The movement began in November last year.It carries the message that teenagersno longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements.The group realized that one of the biggest problemsthat teenagers face is peer pressure on them to smoke or do drugs.Therefore, the group is working hard to ensurethat their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members,all eighth grade students.But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members.At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party,at the West New York swimming pool,more than 50 new members were attracted to the group. "We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie,one of its founding members."But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now." Questions1. When did REBEL launch their advertising campaign?2. How many members did REBEL have by this summer?3. Who were the first members of REBEL?4. What did REBEL do for their campaign against tobacco companies?5. What did REBEL do recently?Part CRoger: Hi, Jenny, you don't look happy. What's wrong? Jenny: Well, Roger, I've got a problem.Roger: What is it?Jenny: You know my daughter Linda is 16 years old now.And we've begun talking about college.She says she wants to go,but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study,all she seems interested in are clothes and boys.We're not wealthy, you know.And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship.That seems to be my biggest worry now.But, Roger, is going to college the best choice for her right now? Roger: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college? Jenny: You're right.Roger: Then you'd better have a serious talk with Linda about college.Jenny: A serious talk with her?Roger: Yes. I think it's quite normal for girls her ageto be wrapped up in fashion and dating,but as a motheryou have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too.Jenny: Yes, but how?Roger: Ask her how serious she is about collegeand how hard she's willing to work for it.Linda may be more committed than you realize.But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while.That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.Jenny: Sounds like a good idea.]Roger: And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job,]take classes at a community college or do an internship to get experience.]She may be just one of those]who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down. Questions1. What's Jenny most concerned about now?2. What does Roger suggest Jenny do?3. What do you know about Linda?4. Which of the following is true?Unit 6 StressInterviewer: Welcome to our program, Sam.Sam: Thank you.Interviewer: Sam, how long have you been a police officer? Sam: I've been a police officer for thirty years.[00:37.27]Interviewer: Thirty years.[00:38.58]And you've had different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.[00:42.69]Sam: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work,[00:48.29]and now I'm supervising investigations.[00:51.34]Interviewer: Sam, I think most people would say [00:53.84]that being a police officer is a very stressful job. [00:57.30]Would you agree?[00:58.40]Sam: Yes, it's definitely a stressful job.[01:01.45]But it depends on your assignment.[01:03.88]Interviewer: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?[01:08.06]Sam: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment. [01:11.76]Interviewer: That's interesting! In what way? [01:14.18]Sam: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress [01:17.57]is the fear factor — the fear of the unknown. [01:20.86]Interviewer: What do you mean, Sam?[01:22.52]Sam: Well, in patrol work,[01:24.78]you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to[01:28.17]or what their reaction is going to be to justify yourpresence.[01:32.21]Let's say, for example,[01:34.09]a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation.

U7 AWhen honesty disappears当诚实消失时"Is anybody truly honest?" As numerous accounts of cheating, lying, and fraud crowd our newspaper pages and TV news, it seems that honesty is a rapidly vanishing value. And the reports indicate that, around the globe, corruption and dishonesty are so widespread that the health and well-being of society are at risk. These reports include stories such as the students who faced criminal charges for selling in advance copies of a university final exam, a student who was expelled when he turned in a term paper with the purchase receipt for it still inside the pages, and a clerk who ran his own Christmas cards through the office postage meter and was found out when he sent one of the cards to the company treasurer! We have all read or heard accounts such as these, not to mention the stories of dishonesty amongst all layers of society as exemplified by consumers who steal and politicians who demand bribes. Travelers ripped off so many towels last year that it cost a major hotel chain $3 million to replace them. Especially troubling are the reports that dishonesty is increasing amongst student populations around the world.“有真正诚实的人吗？”我们的报纸版面和电视新闻充斥着不计其数的有关欺骗、说谎和诈骗的报道，诚实似乎已经成为正在迅速消失的价值观。

新编大学英语2第三册课文翻译Unit 1 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。

Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country.有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。

原文段落Unit 1I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don't entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.? The other requirement is energy -- a lot of it. The way to make self-sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices. Instead, you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw.?Unit 2Yet this stop was only part of a much larger mission for me. Josiah Henson is but one name on a long list of courageous men and women who together forged the Underground Railroad, a secret web of escape routes and safe houses that they used to liberate slaves from the American South. Between 1820 and 1860, as many as 100,000 slaves traveled the Railroad to freedom.? In October 2000, President Clinton authorized $16 million for the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center to honor this first great civil-rights struggle in the U. S. The center is scheduled to open in 2004 in Cincinnati. And it's about time. For the heroes of the Underground Railroad remain too little remembered, their exploits still largely unsung. I was intent on telling their stories.Unit 3It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires hooked up to a police station or private guard firm. any suburban families have sliding glass doors on their patios, with steel bars elegantly built in so no one can pry the doors open.? It is not uncommon, in the most pleasant of homes, to see pasted on the windows small notices announcing that the premises are under surveillance by this security force or that guard company.? The lock is the new symbol of America. Indeed, a recent public-service advertisement by a large insurance company featured not charts showing how much at risk we are, but a picture of a child's bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it.??Unit 4He had impressive powers of concentration.Einstein's sister, Maja, recalled "...even when there wasa lot of noise, he could lie down on the sofa, pick up apen and paper, precariously balance an inkwell on thebackrest and engross himself in a problem so much thatthe background noise stimulated rather than disturbedhim."Einstein was clearly intelligent, but not outlandishlymore so than his peers. "I have no special talents," heclaimed, "I am only passionately curious." And again:"The contrast between the popular assessment of mypowers ... and the reality is simply grotesque." Einsteincredited his discoveries to imagination and peskyquestioning more so than orthodox intelligence.Unit 5The Reverend Nelson wrote that his decades as a"simple, old-fashioned principal" had ended withschools undergoing such swift changes that he hadretired in self-doubt. "I heard more of what I had donewrong than what I did right," he said, adding that myletter had brought him welcome reassurance that hiscareer had been appreciated.? A glance at Grandma'sfamiliar handwriting brought back in a flash memoriesof standing alongside her white rocking chair, watchingher "settin' down" some letter to relatives. Character bycharacter, Grandma would slowly accomplish one word,then the next, so that a finished page would consumehours. I wept over the page representing my Grandma'srecent hours invested in expressing her lovinggratefulness to me -- whom she used to diaper!?Unit 6Old Behrman was a painter who lived on the groundfloor beneath them. He was past sixty and had a long,white beard curling down over his chest. Despitelooking the part, Behrman was a failure in art. For fortyyears he had been always about to paint a masterpiece,but had never yet begun it. He earned a little by servingas a model to those young artists who could not pay theprice of a professional. He drank gin to excess, and stilltalked of his coming masterpiece. For the rest he was afierce little old man, who mocked terribly at softness inany one, and who regarded himself as guard dag to thetwo young artists in the studio above.? Sue foundBehrman smelling strongly of gin in his dimly lightedstudio below. In one corner was a blank canvas on aneasel that had been waiting there for twenty-five yearsto receive the first line of the masterpiece. She told himof Johnsy’s fancy, and how she feared she would,indeed, light and fragile as a leaf herself, when herslight hold upon the world grew weaker.Old Behrman,with his red eyes, plainly streaming, shouted hiscontempt for such foolish imaginings.Unit 7His mind was trapped in a body that didn't work.Speaking was difficult and took time. People wereimpatient and didn't listen. He felt different -- wasdifferent -- from the kids who rushed about in the hallsand planned dances he would never attend.? Whatcould his future be? Porter wanted to do something andhis mother was certain that he could rise above hislimitations. With her encouragement, he applied for ajob with the Fuller Brush Co. only to be turned down.He couldn't carry a product briefcase or walk a route,they said.? Porter knew he wanted to be a salesman.He began reading help wanted ads in the newspaper.When he saw one for Watkins, a company that soldhousehold products door-to-door, his mother set up ameeting with a representative. The man said no, butPorter wouldn't listen. He just wanted a chance. Theman gave in and offered Porter a section of the city thatno salesman wanted.?句子翻译1.We have a problem with the computer system, but Ithink it is fairly minor.我们的计算机系统出了毛病，但我觉得问题比较小。

1RT SYNOPSIS OF ACT ONE: On a summer evening, a birthday celebration is going on at Dr. Stockton's. Among those present are his neighbors: the Hendersons, the Weiss's and the Harlowes. In the midst of it comes unexpectedly over the radio the announcement of the President of the United States declaring a state of emergency for suspected enemy missiles approaching. The party breaks up and the neighbors hurry home.防空洞罗德·塞林第一幕内容提要：某个夏夜，斯道克顿家在庆祝生日。

Book 3 Unit 1善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯• J •布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。

他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。

我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。

对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。

他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。

2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。

因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。

但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。

”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。

不管生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。

即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。

对他来说这是一种自豪。

4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮助他也无法走路。

这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。

一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。

曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。

5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。

他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。

6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。

他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。

如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。

7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。

但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。

8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。

当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。

他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。

他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

U n i t-7-T h e-J o y-o f-T r a v e l新编大学英语第二版第三册课文翻译-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Unit 7 The Joy of TravelTransformative TravelTwenty-five years ago I felt like a wreck. Although I was just 23, my life already seemed over. The future appeared as much like a wasteland as the emptiness I could see while looking back to the past. I felt lost, without choices, without hope.I was stuck in a job I hated and trapped in an engagement with a woman I didn't love. At the time, both commitments seemed like a good idea, but I suppose it was the fantasy of being a successful, married businessman that appealed to me far more than the reality.I decided to take a class just for the entertainment value. It happened to be an introductory counseling course, one that involved personal sharing in the group. We were challenged to make commitments publicly about things we would like to change in our lives, and in a moment of pure impulsiveness, I declared that by the next class meeting I was going to quit my job and end my engagement.A few days later I found myself unemployed and unattached, excited by the freedom, yet terrified about what to do next. I needed some kind of transition from my old life to a new one, a sort of ritual that would help me to transform myself from one person into another. So I did something just as impulsive as my previous actions: I booked a trip for a week in Aruba.In spite of what others might have thought, I was not running away from something but to something. I wanted a clean break, and I knew I needed to get away from my usual environment and influences so as to think clearly about where I was headed.Once settled into my room on the little island of Aruba, I began my process of self-change. I really could have been anywhere as long as nobody could reach me by phone and I had the peace and quiet to think about what I wanted to do. I spent the mornings going for long walks on the beach, the afternoons sitting under my favorite tree, reading books and listening to tapes. Probably most important of all, I forced myself to get out of my room and go to meet people. Ordinarily shy, I now decided that I was someone who was perfectly capable of having a conversation with anyone I chose. Since nobody knew the "real" me, the way I had always been, I felt free to be completely different.It took me almost a year to pay off that trip, but I am convinced that my single week in Aruba was worth three years in therapy. That trip started a number of processes that helped me to transform myself. This is how I did it:I created a mindset that made me ready for change. I expected that big things were on the horizon, that a trip such as this could change my life. I believed with all my heart that I could change, if only I could find a quiet place to sort things out and experiment with new ways of thinking and acting.I insulated myself from the usual influences in my life and the people whose approval was most important. One of the reasons that therapy often takes so long is that, once you leave the safety and support of a session, you reenter the world where familiar people elicit the familiar reactions. By separating myself from others' approval and influences, I was able to think more clearly about what I really wanted.I structured my time in order to produce change and growth. Solitude, isolation, or new environments in themselves are not enough; you must also complete tasks that are relaxing and educational. The most important part of any therapy is not what you understand or what you talk about, but what you do. Insight without action is entertaining but not always helpful. Instead of reading novels and calling home regularly, I took the time to participate in different activities that would make me change.I pushed myself to experiment with new ways of being. I sampled alternative lifestyles and pretended to be a different person. I acted in unfamiliar ways just to see how it felt. Whatever I would usually do in various circumstances, I forced myself to do the opposite. This reinforced the idea that anything was possible, that I could do anything I wanted.I made public commitments of what I intended to do so it would be harder to back down. There were times when I wanted to avoid doing those things I found most frightening. Until this trip, I had never traveled to a strange place deliberately alone. Whenever I thought about taking safe routes, I imagined that I would soon have to face my classmates and that I would have to explain my actions to them.I processed my experiences systematically. I wrote in a journal each day and spoke to people I met about what I was doing and why. When I returned, I talked to several people I trusted about what had taken place. Each of them offered a different perspective that I valued and found useful in incorporating the experience into my life.I made changes when I returned that continued the transformation that started while I was in Aruba. It is easier to make changes when you are away from home than to maintain the changes after you return. To make sure I didn't slip back into old patterns, I immediately made new decisions about my work and my relationships that kept me moving forward.I decided that much of my future traveling would have some transformative dimension to it. Although it is possible to make extraordinary progress in a single week, transformative change takes place over a lifetime. I promised myself that I would make other trips from time to time in order to continue my growth.新生之旅25年前我感觉自己成了废物。

教案Unit_7_The_Joy_of_Travel_（Book_3）Unit 7 The Joy of TravelIn-Class Reading Passage Transformative TravelAfter-Class Reading Passage I The Romance of Train TravelAfter-Class Reading Passage II ArubaPart 1Introduction to the ThemeMen have traveled ever since they first appeared on the earth. In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climate. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together.Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; the hollowed out tree trunks and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel on water.Later they traveled, not for necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comfort and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, tickets, luggage, and a hundred and one other things. If you lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.Part 2 Lead-inPeople traveling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get crowded and stuffy. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. Inevitably, you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant. On motor ways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic. By comparison, trips by sea offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, swim, meet interesting people and enjoy good food —always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, you are likely to get seasick — no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Airplanes have the reputation of being dangerous. They also have the grave disadvantages of being the most expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. You don’t have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an airplane gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. You can watch a free film show and sip champagne on some services. You can also enjoy an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and energetic.Part 3 In-Class Reading Passage Transformative TravelI Structural InformationPara. 1~3 The author’s predicament at that time.There were two things he was dissatisfied with: his job andhis engagement.Para. 4~6 Purpose of the trip: to transform himself from one person to another.Para. 7~14 Process for change.1).
