Unit 1 The Story of Steve JobsThis is the text of the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, at Stanford University, delivered on June 12, 2005.1 I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?2 It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said, "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes 本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫?乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。

Smith is a good one," the friend told him."Is he expensive?" the businessman asked.Ali Baba could hardly believe what he had seen! He didnot dare to climb down from his tree —the thieves might come out at any moment and find him. He waited a long time."Yes and no. He charges five hundred dollars for the first visit, but only twenty-five dollars for each visit after that.""That seems reasonable," the businessman said, and went to visit Dr . Smith.As he walked into the consulting room, he said, "Well, here I am again." and put twenty-five dollars on the table.The doctor looked at the businessman carefully for a moment, then smiled and put the money into the drawer of his desk.

Unit 2Part 1 Language Skills Development1. StarterA.Look at the following pictures. Think over these questions.1.What ways of getting rich do these pictures suggest?Reference answer: The four pictures represent four different ways of getting rich. The first picture suggests that one can get rich quick by buying stocks. The second picture shows that people can become rich through inheritance of fortunes, either of their own parents, or of some wealthy persons. The third picture indicates that marriage could be a passport to the kingdom of wealth. That is to say, a man or a woman could be a rich person if his or her spouse is rich. The fourth picture tells people that lotteries make millionaires.2. Which do you think is the quickest way to get rich?Reference answer: All these four methods of getting rich quick could turn a penniless guy into a millionaire overnight, but it seems to me that winning a lottery is the quickest way of making people rich. Just pay a dollar or two and you could become a rich person overnight! But on the other hand, such an opportunity is very rare.B. Listen to the story Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (Part 1) and answer the following questions.1. What were the magic words used to open and close the cave?They were "Open, Sesame!" and "Shut, Sesame!".2. What did Ali Baba find in the cave?He found rich silks and carpets, gold and silver ware, and great bags of gold.3. What did Ali Baba take from the cave?Many of the bags of gold.Tapescript:Ali Baba and the Forty ThievesIn a town in Persia there lived a poor woodcutter named Ali Baba. One day, Ali Baba was working deep in the forest. Suddenly he heard the noise of many horses. He tied up his two mules behind some high rocks. Then he climbed into a tall tree to hide.From up high in the tree, Ali Baba saw forty men on forty horses. Each man wore a saber and a dagger in his belt. They looked very fierce. Ali Baba could see at once that they were thieves.The forty thieves dismounted in front of a huge rock, and one, who seemed to be captain, said, "Open, Sesame!" And a door flew open in the rock. Then they all went inside and the door closed behind them.Ali Baba could hardly believe what he had seen! He did not dare to climb down from his tree —the thieves might come out at any moment and find him. He waited a long time.At last the door opened, and the forty thieves came out. Their captain said, "Shut, Sesame!" The door closed, and the forty thieves rode away.When they were out of sight Ali Baba came down from the tree. He walked up to the huge rock and said, "Open, Sesame!" The door at once opened, andAli Baba stepped inside. He found himself in a largecave, lighted from a hole in the top, and full of all kindsof treasure —rich silks and carpets, gold and silverware, and great bags of gold. He loaded his two mules with as many of the bags of gold as they could carry, and, after closing the door by saying, "Shut, Sesame!" made his way home.Mind Map Persia n. 波斯(现称伊朗) mule n. 骡子dismount vi.下马,下(自行、摩托)车 sesame n. 芝麻by Mark Edgemon 每个小孔都需要一颗宝石1 Getting rich quick is nice if you can do it, but the phrase usually implies acquiring great sums of wealth with very little effort. If that is the method of study, I wouldn't hold your breath.2 However, if that weren't a popular notion, millions of dollars wouldn't roll in every time there was a lottery somewhere.3 An Egyptian archeological exhibit was touring through town with many interesting artifacts for the public to see. One in particular, was an ancient document believed to uncover a mysterious formula for acquiring wealth.4 Having read about this ancient document in the early edition of the local newspaper, John Holiday borrowed his neighbor's camera for the purpose of taking a snapshot of the document, so he could study it later.5 After getting a very clear image of the document, he went to the library and started reading books on ancient languages that are now dead. Strangely enough, John had a hidden talent for languages. He never developed this or any other talent, because he was lazy. He would always look for the easy way to do everything he had to do in life. However in this case, a shot at sudden wealth was too much of an incentive for him to pass up.6 In a few hours, he figured out the code of the language and began to decipher the ancient text. It told of a statue, thousands of years old, in the central part of Egypt, hidden in a cave miles from a large pyramid. The text stated that the statue had eight orifices and that the seeker of wealth must place precious gems in each of the1 一夜暴富当然不错。
