新编大学英语第二版第三册第三单元课文翻译编著：浙江大学出版社：外语教学与研究出版社挂钥匙的孩子——笃、笃，家里有人吗？在过去的几十年中，美国的生活费用一直在持续增长。

食品价格。

服装费用、房子开销和学费都越来越高。

母亲们纷纷放弃传统的全职家庭主妇的角色，这一部分是由于经济需要，一部分是想通过工作取得成就感。

她们越来越多地从事家庭以外的有薪水的工作。

如此重大的角色转换影响着整个家庭，尤其是孩子们。

某些后果是非常明显的。

例如，晚饭时间推迟了。

而另一方面，这种转变对情感的影响就更微妙了。

母亲们早上带着愧疚感离开家，因为孩子放学回来时她们会不在家。

她们压抑着愧疚心理，因为她们相信她们的工作从长远来讲对大家有益。

她们的收入将能够使家庭存下钱来供孩子上大学。

度一次长假、买辆新车，等等。

孩子们在情感上所受到的影响是很大的。

通常，孩子会感到受伤和愤怒。

毕竟，他们一个人呆几个小时，他们感到他们的母亲应该“在那儿”等着他们。

他们可能需要有人帮他们完成作业，或者想把一天的活动说给母亲听。

然而，母亲们通常筋疲力尽地回到家，又要面临一个紧迫的任务——准备晚饭。

她们的首要任务是给全家人做晚饭，而不是轻松的聊天。

挂钥匙的孩子年龄从六岁到十三岁不等。

每天，他们放学回家，用挂在脖子上的钥匙打开门，独自一人，孤孤单单地呆在安静而空荡荡的屋子里。

对某些孩子来说，这段个人时间是很有所作为的，而对于另外一些孩子，却是令人害怕的孤单的空虚。

由于安全原因，很多父母不允许孩子出去玩，或带客人到家里来。

因此，孩子们感到一种被隔离的感觉。

被采访的挂钥匙的孩子们反应不同。

一些孩子说，每天自己呆上几个小时培养或激发了他们的独立意识和责任心。

他们感到被爱、被信任，并且这一感觉鼓励他们自信。

挂钥匙的女孩子通过观察母亲如何持家和工作，学习了职业母亲的行为榜样。

一些孩子称他们利用这段不受监督的自由时间来提高他们的运动技能，如打篮球。

还有一些孩子读书或练习乐器。

IntroductionIn a general sense, the term personality refers to all the personal and moral characteristics that determine the way a person thinks, feels and acts in his or her social and personal relations. These traits include a vast variety of attitudes and attributes such as shyness, generosity, patience, flexibility, sadness, humor, cheerfulness, selfishness, independence and aggressiveness. Most people are a mix of positive and negative traits. Personality traits that are valued in one culture may be frowned upon in another culture. Similarly, qualities that are encouraged in boys might be regarded as negative traits in girls.It is common that many Chinese students feel self-conscious or uncomfortable to speak English in or out of class. As a result, they lose more opportunities to practice English. Thus, shyness is in the way to English improvement.B. TasksTask 1: Describe Personality1.

新编大学英语第二版第三册第4单元课文翻译Career Planning1进行择业规划不一定要遵照常规的或合乎逻辑的步骤。

我们每个人对不同的因素有不同侧重，也许在不同的时候会考虑择业规划的不同方面。

进行择业规划，要收集有关我们自身以及职业的信息资料，估计采取各种举动可能出现的结果，最后作出我们认为有吸引力并且可行的选择。

2许多观察家指出学生在择业规划方面不是很在行。

他们列出了以下事实：1）大部分学生选择职业的范围很窄；2）多达40％至60％的学生选择专业性的职业，而实际上只有15％至18％的从业人员在做专业性的工作；3）男青年对文书、销售以及服务性行业兴趣索然，尽管这些领域会提供许多就业机会；4）多达三分之一的学生说不出选择什么职业好。

3欧文•贾尼斯和利昂•曼在他们的《决策》一书中指出，许多人的决策方式存在严重缺陷，而这些问题似乎与人们处理问题的模式有关。

有些人对于要费心考虑的择业信息置之不理，这就是自满的表现。

有些人采取“这不会影响我”或“这永远也不会发生”的态度，他们这样做是将自满作为自己占支配地位的行为模式。

当然，对于那些不决定成败的决策，自满是可以的，但做涉及职业方面的决策时，来不得自满。

4人们在决策方式上存在的第二个缺陷是消极回避。

每当面临抉择而又自认为找不到合适的解决方法时，一些人或想入非非或做白日梦，以此来保持平静。

有些学生没有考虑到职业抉择会产生的影响，往往采取文过饰非（对自己的行为所作的解释虽能自我满足但却是错误的，以此来欺骗自己）或者拖延（推迟或耽搁）的态度。

面对现状也许会令人焦急不安，但认真考虑一下各种方案也能给人宽慰。

5第三个缺陷是过分地提心吊胆。

当人们面对职业选择而又感到没有足够时间找到解决方法时，会感到惊慌失措。

他们紧张地寻找各种就业机会，然后采取匆忙产生的决定，忽视了这样的选择会带来的后果，也忽视了其他的择业机会。

惊慌失措的人往往会思路不清，缺乏逻辑。

6最好的做法就是眼观六路，耳听八方。

新编大学英语第二版第三册第六单元课文翻译浙江大学外语教学与研究出版社人和动物的好斗性人肯定是所有动物中最好斗和最残忍的。

我们会说暴徒的行为“就像野兽”，然而事实上，没有任何一种动物像人类那样残暴。

当地盘性的动物或鸟类侵入别的同类动物的领地时，后者只会做一些表示敌意的姿态来吓跑入侵者。

而且，万一有争斗，任何一方都不会受重伤，因为败方只要做出姿态表示投降便可保全性命。

一般情况下，动物之间只会为了争食而杀戮，同类动物之间自相残杀是极少见的。

然而，如果动物发现自己处于异常环境下，它会表现出不同寻常的攻击性。

有一只老虎从丛林跑到村庄来，袭击了人。

后来人们发现原来它的爪子受了伤，使它显然不能像平时那样去猎食。

如果不是受了伤，这只虎毫无疑问还会呆在丛林里，并像往常那样去猎取食物。

关在动物园笼子里的动物，往往会比在野外时更加好斗。

比如说，关在笼子里的狮子一旦能自由自在地徜徉在非洲的大草原上，那么它会一直活力充沛，长途跋涉，与家族同类一起追捕食物。

在动物园里，也许它吃得更好，能得到精心的照料，但是，由于离群索居，它显然会感到倦怠，情绪沮丧。

一些动物学家和心理学家把现代人比喻成笼子里的狮子。

他们认为，人们生活在拥挤不堪的城市里，生活条件与动物园里的动物很相似，这种状况使得这些居民特别地好斗。

如果人口增长速度不是这样快，人们就会有更多的空间和自由。

在史前时代，60人左右的群体会有数公里的空间来活动和觅食。

假如现在还有这样的条件，人类就不会比其他动物更加好斗。

实际情况是，在同一栋办公大楼里工作的人，有可能多达3万人。

在这种条件下，人们之间变得寻衅好斗也就不足为奇了。

实际上，要他们不这样几乎是不可能的。

这些年来，随着世界人口的增长，人类肯定是更加好斗了。

然而，好斗本身并不一定是坏事。

一些心理学家认为好斗是一种必须得到满足的基本的人类本能。

如果没有建设性的手段来满足这一本能，人类就会采用破坏性的手段。

人类坚持自己的权利和主张的冲动使其能够在这充满危险的世界上生存下来；然而，具有讽刺意义的是，人类有可能自我毁灭，除非能找到其他非暴力的、能发泄其好斗本性的方法。

Unit 1Part TwoListening IInterviewer: Angela, you were born in Korea but you've been living in Canada for a long time, haven't you?Angela: Yes, I was 10 years old when my parents immigrated to Canada and I've been living here for 20 years now.Interviewer: Do you think that belonging to two different cultures has affected your personality? Angela: Yes, definitely. There are times when I think that I have two personalities. Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian.Interviewer: That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean?Angela: Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home.Interviewer: Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite?Angela: Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent.Interviewer: Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person?Angela: Yes, but sometimes I don't know who I am.Exercise 11.

I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am.I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything.I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People trust me with their secrets, and they're right for doing so because I never tell any secret that is told to me. I'm always there to help in any way that I can. All you have to do is ask.I enjoy life and people, which makes me feel good. I find fun in almost everything I do (except housework). I like to watch people, talk to them, and be around them. It makes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel, or how they live, or what they look like, or what age they are. I just enjoy learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me. Exercise 11. sensitive/ caring independent / understanding2. good friend3. life people4. learning being awareExercise 21.

Hey, what if I try to fix you up with Cindy's sister, Kristi. We could double-date. She's really outgoing, bright, and funny too.Tom: Hey, I still remember the girl you fixed me up with last time. She was very moody and self-centered. She couldn't stop talking about how great she was. I'm not sure if I can trust you, "Mr. Matchmaker".Bill: Oh come on. So I made a mistake last time.

He's a tall, slim lad with fair hair. Very friendly face, lovely smile... He's particularly good with group activities, and he's a very helpful person to have in the class and very helpful with the other students. He speaks fluently, but does make a lot of mistakes! He doesn't seem to mind making mistakes. He asks a lot ofquestions...er...he tends to speak first and think later. But he's got lots of interesting ideas. David: Good.Barbara: Ah...Susan...Susan. Now, she's very lively, quick, and very bright. She talks all the time but not always in English.David: What? Is she difficult or anything?Barbara: No...she's quite young but she does behave in quite a grown-up way really for her age. It can be a bit difficult to actually shut her up sometimes and make her listen to you.David: Ah, right.Barbara: She's very nice. She has dark hair and dark eyes.David: Right, well...are there any other girls in the class?Barbara: Yes, there is Maria. She's Susan's sister.David: Yes.Barbara: Actually it's quite difficult to tell them apart although...er... Maria is slightly older. She's a bit plumper and has longer hair than Susan. She's not quite as bright as her sister and I think that makes her feel a bit inferior really. Well, you know, she sulks a bit when she gets things wrong or she misunderstands you. But on the whole, a very sensible girl.David: OK.Barbara: And then there's Peter, who's older than the others. He's got a sort of moustache, spectacles and wavy dark brown hair. He usually wears a jacket and sometimes a suit. He's very smart and takes notes all the time. He's also very serious and determined to learn as much as possible. He asks quite difficult questions but he doesn't mean to be nasty.David: Well, thanks, Barbara. It's all up to me now, isn't it? Have a good holiday, won't you?

Here's a brief summary of what they thought.There were many different opinions among those interviewed: Some were very flattering, others very critical. The distinction between the English and the British wasn't always understood, but, on the whole, it seemed that the Scots were very popular with visitors. They were thought to be very friendly, even though one Dutch visitor confessed she'd found it hard to understand their English.A great number found the British generally reserved, particularly the English, although one Australian visitor called the English "the friendliest people in the world and most hospitable". But she did admit that speaking the same language was a great help.Some Asian businessmen, who had traveled widely throughout England, said quite openly that they found North country people "much nicer" than people in the South. When asked what exactly they meant by "much nicer", one of them said, with a playful smile on his face, "By much nicer I mean much more like us!"A few continentals praised "English courtesy", but the majority found it dishonest and dull. "You're forever saying 'please' and 'sorry' when you don't feel pleased or sorry," one explained.A young student from South Africa had no views on the matter. He hadn't met any Englishmen, he said. The country appeared to be full of foreigners like himself.Statements1. It was easy to tell the English from the British.2. Speaking the same language helped one Australian visitor a lot.3. By "much nicer", one of the visitors meant that the British people were more friendly than people of other countries.4. The majority of continentals thought highly of English manners.5. To the young student from South Africa, Britain seemed to have a lot of foreign visitors.

Mr. Smith always thought that he was more sensible than his wife, so he started to give her a lecture on the importance of always remaining calm.Finally he said, "It's a waste of your strength to get excited about small things. Train yourself to be patient, like me. Now, look at the fly that has just landed on my nose. Am I getting excited or annoyed? Am I swearing or waving my arms around? No. I'm not. I'm perfectly calm."Just as he had said this, Mr. Smith started shouting. He jumped up and began to wave his arms around wildly and swear terribly. He couldn't speak for some time, but at last he was able to tell his wife: The thing on his nose was not a fly, but a bee.1) upset 2) sensible 3) lecture 4) calm 5) strength6) landed 7) waving 8) perfectly 9) wildly 10) beeSection IITom: Oh, that Mr. Taylor.

Here is what we heard.S2: Well...I...I don't know really...it's not the sort of question you ask yourself directly. I know I'm good at my job...

That's me.S4: Well...when I was young I was very shy. At times I...I was very unhappy...especially when I was sent to boarding school at age seven. I didn't make close friends till later...till I was about...fifteen. Then I became quite good at being by myself. I had no one to rely on...and no one to ask for advice. That made me independent.

"I went out one day and there was a big flock of ducks out on Tupper Lake. And I had this good dog. I shot at the ducks, and then I sent the dog out there. She was heavy with pups at the time, and I didn't know whether I should send her out there. It was a cold day in the fall. Well, she took right off and away she went. But she didn't show up when it got dark. I began to worry about her. She was a good dog, a really good retriever. She'd get anything I shot at."So the next morning I woke up and I thought I'd better go and see if I could find her. And I got down to the shoreline of the lake and I looked out. Suddenly I saw something coming. It was this dog. She came into the shore! She had three ducks in her mouth. And behind her she had seven pups. And each of the pups had a duck in his mouth."Exercise 11. B2. B3. A4. B5. CExercise 21. T2. F3. T4. T5. F6. TListening IIThere was an old man who had a daughter. He told his daughter that he had invited a preacher to his house. He said, "Daughter, I'm going down to the train to meet the Reverend, and I've roasted two ducks and left them there for him in the other room. Don't you touch them!" The daughter said, "No, I won't touch them." So her papa went to the train to meet the Reverend, and the girl began to taste the ducks. The ducks tasted so good that she kept on tasting them until she had eaten them all up, every bit of them.After the old man came back, he didn't even look in the place where he had left the ducks. He went directly into the other room to sharpen his knife on the oilstone so he could carve the ducks. The preacher was sitting in the room with the girl. She knew that her papa was going to punish her, and she started crying and shedding tears. The preacher asked, "What is the matter with you, girl?" She said, "Papa has this one bad fault: He invites preachers to his house and goes to sharpen hisknife to cut off both their ears." And the Reverend asked, "What is that you say, daughter?" The girl said, "Yes, Papa invites preachers here all the time and cuts off both their ears." The preacher said, "Daughter, hand me my hat. Quick!" The girl gave him his hat and he ran out of the door quickly. The daughter called her papa and said, "Papa, the preacher got both the ducks and has gone." The old man ran to the door and yelled to the preacher, "Hey, where are you going in such a hurry? Come back here right now!" But the preacher just kept running and shouted back over his shoulder, "Damned if you'll get either one of these."Exercise 11. A2. A3. B4. C5. CExercise 21. T2. F3. T4. T5. F6.

He kept the shop free of rats and mice. But, one day, the cat got caught in a piece of machinery and got a paw cut off. After that, he began to grow weak and thin and didn't take any interest in anything, because he wasn't getting enough to eat.So, one day, Jack decided to make a wooden paw for the cat. He made it with his pocket knife and fastened it on the injured leg. After that, the cat began to grow sleek and fat again. Jack decided to stay at the shop one night to see how the cat managed with his wooden paw.After dark, the cat got down in front of a mouse hole and waited. Pretty soon a mouse peered out cautiously. Quick as a flash the cat seized it with his good paw and knocked it on the head with his wooden one. In no time, that cat had eighteen mice piled up in front of the mouse hole.Exercise 11) stayed around 2) mouse catcher 3) rats and mice4) got a paw 5) weak and thin 6) make a wooden paw7) fastened it 8) grow sleek and fat 9) managed10) peered out cautiously 11) seized it with 12) eighteen micePart Three More ListeningPractice OneKen: Hey, Josh. Where did you get those comic magazines?Josh: When I went home last weekend, I found these old Superman magazines that my older brother had bought many years ago.Ken: You don't have time to read old comics. Why did you bring them here?Josh: In my World Literature class we've been talking about the importance of myths, folk tales, and legends to cultures. We have to write a short paper on which legendary figure we think is the great American hero. I think it's Superman.Ken: Superman? Why? I think it's someone like Paul Bunyan, the giant woodsman, or Johnny Appleseed, who planted early apple trees in the Midwest. Superman is just a modern comic magazine character.Josh: When I saw these old comics, I started thinking that Superman represents a combination of cultural traditions and beliefs that have been told throughout our American history.Ken: How?Josh: Superman is an orphan who comes by rocket to Earth when his native planet explodes. Helands near a small town and is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who teach him their American middle-class values of honesty, hard work and consideration for others. As an adult, he migrates to a large city and defends Americans against evil.Ken: What else?Josh: Well, I was thinking about this and realized that he is a symbol of the American character because he is an immigrant. We Americans have come from somewhere else, too. My great grandparents came from Germany, and I know your grandparents came from Brazil. They all worked hard and succeeded.Ken: But how does that relate to Superman?Josh: He goes to the city, just as many immigrants did, works as a newspaper reporter. But his adopted parents' values of honesty, hard work and helpfulness are a part of him. He uses his super abilities to fight dishonesty and to help the victims of crime and injustice, meanwhile working hard at his newspaper job.Ken: I understand. As an orphan, Superman becomes a new person in a new land, just as our ancestors did, and succeeds. He also represents our values. Your paper should be interesting. I'd like to read it when it's finished.Josh: OK.Exercise 11. B2. A3. A4. C5. DExercise 21. F2.T3. T4. F5.T 6 F 7.

But when mankind began to multiply rapidly, the animals were crowded into forests and deserts.Man began to destroy many animals for their skins and furs instead of only for food. Animals became angry at this treatment by man and decided that mankind must be punished.The animals held a meeting, but they could not decide how to punish mankind. Finally the animals agreed that because deer were the animals most often killed by man, deer should decide how man should be punished.Deer decided that any Indian hunters who killed deer without asking pardon in a suitable manner would be made to suffer with painful stiffness in their bodies. After this decision was made, the leader of the deer sent a message to the nearest people, the Cherokee Indians. "From now on, your hunters must first offer a prayer to the deer before killing him. You must ask his pardon, telling the deer you are forced to kill him only because your people are hungry and need meat. Otherwise, a terrible disease will come to you."The spirits of the deer would run to the place where a deer had been killed and these spirits would ask the dead deer, "Did you hear the hunter's prayer for pardon?" If the answer was "yes", the spirits would be satisfied. But, if the answer was "no", then the deer spirits would track down the hunter to his house and strike him with the terrible disease of stiffness in his body, making him crippled so that he could not hunt deer again.Soon all of the animals agreed that this was a fair and just punishment. Each type of animal decided that they would also cause a disease in people who mistreated them.When the friendly plants of the world heard what the animals had decided as punishment for mankind, the plants decided that this punishment was too harsh. They had a meeting of their own.Finally they decided that each type of plant should provide a cure for one of the diseases which animals had caused for mankind.This was the beginning of plant medicines from nature among the Cherokee Indians a long, long time ago.Exercise 11.

No one really knows how long this event has taken place, but according to local legend the annual buzzard migration began nearly 200 years ago with a massacre."The first legend of buzzards in Hinkley, Ohio, goes back to the Great Hinkley Hunt on December 24, Christmas Eve, in 1818. The local settlers deciding that the township needed to be made safe for their livestock, gathered together about 400 men and boys, with guns and clubs and completely surrounded the township of Hinkley."As the story goes, the townsfolk began marching toward the center of town, driving all the game in front of them, and killing virtually every wild animal they encountered."The settlers took some of the deer and the wild turkeys for the holiday dinners, but left all of the other dead animals out in the snow. When spring came, the remaining dead animals attracted many buzzards, and since 1819 they've been coming back here in March."Hinkley locals have come to appreciate the buzzards' annual return. In mid-March, on Buzzard Sunday, they celebrate the birds' arrival with costumes, exhibits and songs.Exercise 11. B2. D3. C4. D5. AExercise 21. F2. T3. F4. F5.F6. TPractice FourAlmost seven centuries ago, in Central Asia, there lived a great king called Tamerlane. He was a mighty, powerful, conquering soldier, and his greatest ambition was that one day he would rule a massive empire stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. He made his imperial capital in the oasis city of Samarkand, which he planned to make the most beautiful city on earth. Many magnificent mosques were built and they were decorated with exquisite blue ceramic tiles on the outside, and with pure gold on the inside.Tamerlane, like the great oriental king that he was, had many wives, including a Chinese girl called Bibi Khanym. Now Bibi Khanym was the most beautiful of all Tamerlane's wives, and she was also the youngest. She was his favorite wife and was deeply in love with him.In order to demonstrate her great love of Tamerlane, she decided to build a magnificent mosque to honor him, while he was away fighting in a distant war. She engaged the best architect, who designed for her the most magnificent mosque you could imagine. And then she found the best master builder, who began work immediately. But as the weeks and months passed by, the master builder began to fall in love with Bibi Khanym. She resisted all his advances, but at last he threatened to leave the mosque unfinished unless she allowed him to kiss her just once. Bibi Khanym wanted the beautiful mosque finished more than anything else. She was expectingTamerlane to return any day. So at last she agreed to let the master builder kiss her, just once.But that was her terrible mistake, for so powerful was the master builder's love for Bibi Khanym that when he kissed her he left a permanent mark on her face.King Tamerlane returned and saw the guilty mark on his wife's face. The master builder was executed immediately, and then, thinking that a woman's beauty can be a dangerous thing, Tamerlane ordered that from that day on all the women in the kingdom should never be seen in public without a veil to cover their face.Exercise 11.

One day her mother asked her to take some snacks to her grandmother because her grandmother was ill. Her mother told her, "Don't hang around on your way. Don't leave the main road."On her way, she saw a wolf. The wolf asked her where she was going and she told him that she was going to her grandmother's house. The wolf thought to himself how delicious she would taste. Red Riding Hood danced in the woods, picking flowers for her grandmother and forgetting what her mother had said to her.The wolf went to the grandmother's house and ate up the poor lady. Then he waited in the bed for Red Riding Hood.As Red Riding Hood came into the grandmother's house, she found her grandmother looked rather strange with very large ears, eyes, hands and mouth. And suddenly the wolf jumped out of the bed and devoured the little girl.At that time, a hunter passed the house and heard loud snores made by the wolf. He went in and carefully cut the wolf's stomach open because he thought the wolf had probably eaten the grandmother. Then both little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother escaped from the wolf's stomach. After that, Red Riding Hood remembered the importance of her mother's words and never left the main road again.Questions:1. Why was the girl called "Red Riding Hood"?2. What was she asked to take to her grandmother?3. What did her mother tell her NOT to do on the way?4. How did the wolf think Red Riding Hood would taste?5.

新编大学英语第二版第三册第十单元课文翻译编著：浙江大学出版社：外语教学与研究出版社世纪日记想想自己年已五十，感觉会如何？惊奇。

对自己活了那么久感到惊奇，对五十年一晃而过感到惊奇，对自己仍旧默默无闻感到惊奇，对惊异于自己的默默无闻感到惊奇。

我这一生，求知欲一直促动着我。

我也不知道为什么这样，因为我的母亲求知欲并不强。

虽然我出生前外祖父就已经过世，但是从别人的谈论里，还有看到的关于他的故事，以及他留下来的书籍，我可以断定，我的求知欲有可能是从他那里遗传来的。

外祖父出生在英国，父母都是威尔士人，他年仅十六岁就独自闯荡到美国。

五十岁时，我的脑子比从前更好使，奇怪啊，真是太奇怪了！我可以注意力非常集中，其强度就好像用放大镜聚焦一束太阳光一样。

因为歉疚或热情导致的分心远远不如以前那么频繁了。

渐渐地，我对自己经历过或阅读过的万物之间的关系也能开始理解了，分析和判断力也较以前更准确了，同时我的求知欲更强，曾经令人迷惑的问题也豁然开朗起来。

但是，每个新的答案又会产生大量新问题，我们知道的知识和不知道的相比，简直就是沧海一粟。

我没法确定世上有什么是绝对的，即便我相信自己还活着，但“活着”是什么意思，我也说不清。

那些组成我身体的原子在我出生前就存在，在我死后也同样会继续存在。

有些人会认为我很自我，其实不然，我是很谦卑的。

我运气还算不错，出生时智力不错，这么多年来，我一直在磨练这项遗传来的工具。

我承认，面对无知时我总是焦躁不安，但是，我了解自己的缺点更甚于对自己能力的了解。

有时候，我会对自己的无知丧气。

我找不到生活的意义。

我相信，只有通过表现爱心和选择自己的工作才能体现个人的生命意义所在。

我的妻子就比我更有价值，因为她对他热门的关爱是无尽的，在这方面，她是天才。

可是我却一无所长。

以后她如果去世了，会有万千眼泪为她而流，我会因此而崇拜她，而不是嫉妒她。

当我还是个14岁的孩子时，就像日后当名记者，继而成为一名作家。

现在我已经是名资深记者，我的第一本书也将于明年秋出版。
