仅做参考好好学习，天天向上Unit 2Factors That Affect Career Choices影响职业选择的因素The first step in planning a career for yourself or someone else is to learn as much as possible about the person’s interests, aptitudes, and skills.为自己或别人制定职业规划的第一步是要尽可能多的认识对象的兴趣、能力和技能之所在。

Each person’s career goes through stages, and the stage you are in will influence your knowledge of and preference for various occupations. The main stages of this career cycle follows.每个人的职业所经历的阶段,并且这些阶段将影响你的知识,和对各种职业的偏爱。

职业的主要循环阶段如下。

Growth Stage The growth stage lasts roughly from birth to age 14 and is a period during which the person develops a self-concept by identifying with and interacting with other people such as family, friends and teachers. Toward the beginning of this period, role playing is important, and children experiment with different ways of acting; this helps them to form impressions of how other people react to different behaviors and contributes to their developing a unique self-concept or identity. Toward the end of this stage, the adolescent (who by this time has developed preliminary ideas about what his or her interests and abilities are) begins to think realistically about alternative occupations.成长阶段成长阶段大约是从出生持续到14岁,在这个阶段的人通过与别人认识和相互影响来增强自我了解,例如家庭、朋友和老师。

Unit 1 Leisure ActivitiesEntertaining Humor—What's Funny?Donald M. HuffmanThe joy of laughing at a funny' story is universal, probably as old as language itself. But, what is it that makes a story or a joke funny?As one who had enjoyed humor since I first recognized it, I've made an attempt to explain and discuss humor with students in such diverse cultures as Latin America and China. I've done some serious thinking about funny stories. It has been a labor of love!Why is it that several students in a class will fall out of their chairs laughing after I tell a joke while the rest of the students look as if I've just read the weather report? Obviously some people are more sensitive to humor than others. And, we recognize that some people tell jokes very well while others struggle to say something funny. We've all heard people say, "I like jokes, but I can't tell one well, and I can never remember them." Some people have a better sense of humor than others just as some people have more musical talent, mathematical talent etc. than others. A truly funny person has a joke for every occasion, and when one is told, that triggers an entire string of jokes from that person's memory bank. A humorless person is not likely to be the most popular person in a group. It is reasonable to say that the truly humorous individual is not only well liked, but is often the focus of attention in any gathering.Even some animals have a sense of humor. My wife's mother often visited us for extended stays. She normally didn't like dogs, but she fell in love with Blitzen—a female Lab we have, and the relationship was mutual. Even when young, Blitzen would tease Grandma by very selectively carrying one of her bedroom slippers into the living room where Grandma sat in her favorite, comfortable chair. Blitzen pranced just beyond the reach of Grandma until Grandma was tempted to leave her chair to get the slipper from Blitzen. When Grandma left her chair, Blitzen would quickly jump into the chair, flashing her Lab smile from sparkling brown eyes which clearly said, "Aha, I fooled you again.Typical jokes or humorous stories have a three-part anatomy that is easily recognized. First is the SETUP (or setting), next is the BODY (or story line), and these are followed by the PUNCH LINE (an unexpected or surprise ending) which will make the joke funny if it contains some humor. Usually all three parts are present, and each must be clearly presented. It helps if the story/ joke teller uses gestures and language which are well known to the audience.Humor, as a form of entertainment, can be analyzed in order to discover what makes a funny story or joke seem funny. Here, for example, are some of the most common types of humor. They range from the most obvious humor to the more subtle types."SLAP-STICK" is the most obvious humor. Its language is simple, direct, and often makes fun of another person or group. Slap-stick was and is the technique of the stand-up comedian and the clown. It appeals to all ages and all cultures. Nearly every English-speaking comedian in this century has used the following joke in one form or another. One man asks another, "Who was that lady I saw you with last night?" The other replies, "That was no lady, that was my wife." The humor lies in the fact that the second man is saying that his wife is not a lady. In other words, she is not a refined woman. The joke is no less funny because it is so often used. The audience knows in advance what will be said, because it is classic humor, and any audience values it even more because of its familiarity.Chinese "cross-talk" is a special type of slap-stick in which two Chinese comedians humorously discuss topics such as bureaucrats, family problems, or other personal topics. Cross-talk can be heard anywhere from small village stages to the largest Beijing theatres, and to radio and television. It is clearly a traditional form of humor well understood by Chinese people.A PLAY ON WORDS is not so obvious as slap-stick, but it is funny because of misused or misunderstood language. My favorite example is the story of three elderly gentlemen traveling by train in England. As the train slowed for a stop the first man asked, "Is this Wembley?" "No," said the second, "It's Thursday." "So am I," said the third man. "Let's stop for a beer." We know that older people often do not hear things clearly, so the misunderstanding of both Wednesday (for Wembley) and thirsty (for Thursday) make a nice setup for the punch line delivered by the third man.The famous Chinese cartoonist and humorist Ding Cong is a master of word play. In one of his funny cartoons, a teacher says, "How come you completely copied somebody else's homework?" The young student replies, "I didn't completely copy it. My name on the page is different." In another classic Ding Cong cartoon, an irritated father asks, "Tell me, what's one plus two?" The son says, "I don't know." The impatient father then says, "For example, you, your mother, and I altogether are how many, you idiot?" The son proudly answers, "Three idiots." Whether these stories are cartoons, jokes told by a slapstick comedian, or a cross-talking team, they appeal to people everywhere as funny stories because they have a note of reality to them, and the unexpected punch line is quite funny. 11 PUNS are even more subtle forms of word play. They use the technique ofsimilar sounding words or alternative meanings of the same word. Puns are thought by some critics to be the lowest form of humor, but I disagree with this. Puns require more subtle and sophisticated language skills than most humor forms, but even the very young can use them in their simpler forms. For example, the "riddle" or trick question often uses a pun in the setup, the story line, or, more often, the punch line. Puns are the first type of humor I learned, and at about 5 years of age I remember hearing the following riddle. One person asks, "What is black and white and red all over?" The other person usually cannot answer the riddle, so says, "I give up. What is the answer?" The riddler replies, "A newspaper." This is the obvious answer if one knows that "red" is pronounced the same as "read" in English, but the meanings are clearly different.DOUBLE-ENTENDRES (French for double meanings) are special variations of puns in which words or phrases have double meanings. Frequently the two meanings are very different, and one is quite proper while the second is often, but not always, vulgar. I like the somewhat mild story of a school teacher and a principal of a high school who are concerned because some boys and girls have been seen kissing on the school playground. The teacher says to the students, "The principal and I have decided to stop kissing on the school playground." Hearing some laughter, she senses her message was not altogether clear, so she adds, "What I mean to say is that there will be no more kissing going on under our noses". This clarification, of course, does nothing to correct the first statement and the double meaning of the joke becomes even more laughable.Some professional humorists think too much of today's humor is not very intelligent or sophisticated. They dislike the suggestive or vulgar language used too frequently, and they feel that most humorists are not very creative. It is true that some of today's humor is rather shocking, but I don't think humor is to be blamed for that. Humor is alive and well, and it will persist simply because there are funny things happening every day. Some humorous people see and hear these funny things and are able to make them into funny, entertaining jokes and stories.享受幽默——什么东西令人开怀？1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。

Leisure inactivities – or how to relax and do nothing闲暇无为——或如何歇着无所事事1 Centuries ago people didn't have much free time, because everyone was working too hard. In Britain in the 19th century, people had more time off, but the Victorians thought relaxing and doing nothing was a sin. So to avoid temptation, they invented football, rugby and cricket. People took up more gentle leisure activities like bird-watching, gardening and trainspotting, and it was even possible simply to watch a sport and give the impression that you were actually doing something useful.数百年前，人们没有多少空闲时间，因为人人都在辛苦劳作。

在19世纪的英国，人们有了较多闲暇，可是维多利亚时代的人认为歇着无所事事是一种罪过。

于是为了避免诱惑，他们发明了足球、橄榄球和板球。

人们开始从事更温和的休闲活动，如观鸟、园艺、收集火车头号码。

他们甚至可能只是观看一项运动，给人一种有事可做的印象。

2 One instance of this is cricket, which is a peculiar game with weird rules, where nothing happens for five days, at the end of which the players often decide to call it a draw. And everyone, players and spectators, feel perfectly fulfilled by this non-event. It's a good example of what we can now call a leisure inactivity.其中一个例子是板球。

Leisure Inactivities几百年前，人们并没有很多休闲时光，因为人们太努力工作。

在十九世纪的英国，人们有更多的闲暇时光，但是维多利亚人觉得休闲和无所作为是一种犯罪。

所以为了避免诱惑他们发明了足球和板球，人们就开始做一些比较文雅的休闲运动比如观鸟和园艺工作，甚至可能是仅仅看一场比赛，满足于你确实是在做一些有意义的事。

以板球为实例，它是一项有奇怪规则的特殊比赛，它在五天的时间内什么也没有发生最后选手经常决定将它判为平局，有参与或观看的每一个人都对这项无所作为的赛事感到非常满意。

这就是我们现在称之为休闲静止运动的一个好例子。

慢慢的多年以来，静止的休闲运动涉及的互动更少了，在九十年代一个新的休闲生物逐渐形成，他们觉的躺在沙发上观看电视里的体育赛事或者视频光碟是他们能想象到的最令人激动的静止运动这就是电视迷。

那么谁想要成为一个电视迷呢?好吧，事实上，许多人都这么想，他们有非常充分的理由。

也许只是你一周内那一天的休闲时光，也许你刚从公司或学校回来可能你很累只是想要冷静下来，对于电视迷每一项活动都太麻烦了，而懒惰是一种艺术形式。

那么如何成为一个电视迷呢？很简单，坐在一个很舒适的地方比如一条漂亮的沙发椅，或者，你知道的，一条睡椅。

不要坐在一个土豆上，确保你有需要的一切，吃的东西（尤其是薯条，没有真正的电视迷会吃其他东西），喝的，杂志，还有一台电视。

当然最重要的设备就是遥控器，没有了切换频道和在睡椅上挪动的自由，就没有电视迷能够称得上这个名字了。

事实上看电视没有遥控就会变得像体育运动一样危险，很可能应该被避免。

现在开始看电视吧。

每十秒换一次频道，然后照此一直换下去。

尽可能快速的失去注意力，好让你保持一个沙发土豆的状态。

（记住，你的注意力持续时间和土豆的一样长。

）最后，请别人帮你做事，如再拿点吃的，或租张影碟。

然而，对他们的态度一定要好！如果态度不好，你很可能要自己做这些事了。

因为它破坏了这种蔬菜的形象。

Unit 3 Leisure ActivitiesPassage A Clubs and SocietiesParties, drinking, eating - oh, and working - all help pass the time, but deep down there's something you're really eager to find, but you can't quite put your finger on. What you have been looking for, my friend, is the chance to throw yourself into the world of University Societies, and discover the huge range of activities which thrive in a city like Oxford.Whether you want to pursue an existing interest or develop new ones, your first move should be to check out the bewilderingly large array of clubs at the OUSU Freshers' Fair. With your Freshers' Fair ticket, you can get your hands on a brand-new edition of the comprehensive guide to all things at Oxford. If you miss the Fair, don't despair: you can see what societies are offered in the Oxford Directory, a handbook issued to you in Freshers' Week. Take a while to browse through --- it's your one major chance to find out about what goes on in the University.The degree to which people get involved in societies varies a great deal. Some totally immerse themselves in a club, hardly speaking to anyone who isn't a member of that group for the next three years and rising to become a leader of the organization. Others prefer to take a more eclectic approach, being members of several societies and taking part in whichever of their events seem interesting. Many people, perhaps foolishly, completely ignore University societies and just hang out with mates in college.Societies offer a great chance to meet people from outside college, which, especially for arts students, is something it is sometimes difficult to do. But don't forget that most colleges2 have their own flourishing societies, which you may be able to join in your college during Freshers' Week. Music and drama are often popular and it is very easy to get some mates together and start something up. If you have ambitions to open up your new Shakespearian Rap Society3 to the whole University, you can register it with the University Proctors, who give out start-up grants and loans, among other benefits.One of the downsides, especially with larger societies, is the hacking which takes place. 'Hack' is the negative term applied to those seeking advancement (usually to President) in whatever Club or Society, and some clubs such as the Oxford Union or the Guild Society tend to attract those with the spark of ambition more than others. When students suddenly remember their blank CVs5 which are supposed to secure them a highly paid job once they graduate, hackery is almost inevitable. Do not be afraid, though: the vast majority of students tend to avoid such self-seeking behaviour and get on with life.With over 300 registered societies there really is something for everyone. Apart from the obvious political parties and sports clubs there are groups for all the main religions; societies interested in the society and culture of countries from China to Bulgaria, and UK regions from Scotland to Essex; charities for those interested in voluntary work, literature, music, drama and sci-fi; and a fair number of strange groups such as the LMH Pudding Society, the Oxford Stunt Factory and the Pooh Sticks Society. You won't get bored.A篇俱乐部和社团聚会、喝酒、吃饭--哦，还有工作--都让时光流逝，但你内心深处确有一些很想追寻的东西，却无法实现。
