Unit1Para1 One summer day father sent buy some wire and fencing put around our barn pen the bull. liked nothing better than getting behind the wheel our truck and driving into town the old mill road.Water from the mill's wheel sprayed the sunshine making rainbow over the canal and often stopped there way bathe and cool off for spell—natural air conditioning. The sun was hot, did not need towel was dry the time climbed the clay banks and crossed the road ditch the truck. Just before town, the road shot along the sea where would collect seashells gather seaweed beneath the giant crane unloading the ships. This trip was different, though. father had told I'd have ask for credit the store.Para2was 1976, and the ugly shadow racism was still fact life. I'd seen friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while storeowner enquired into whether they were "good for ". Many store clerks watched black youths with the assumption that they were thieves every time they even went into grocery.Para3family was honest. paid our debts. But just before harvest, all the money flowed out. There were new deposits the bank. Cash was short. Davis Brothers' General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking middle-aged farmer. Buck was tall, weathered man red hunting shirt and nodded passed him way the hardware section get container nails, coil binding wire and fencing. pulled purchases the counter and placed the nails the tray the scale, saying carefully, " need put this credit." brow was moist with nervous sweat and wiped away with the back arm.Para4 The farmer gave amused, cynical look, but Buck's face didn't change. "Sure," said easily, reaching for his booklet where kept records for credit. gave sigh relief. "Your daddy always good for ." turned the farmer. "This here one James Williams' sons. They broke the mold when they made that man."Para5 The farmer nodded neighborly way. was filled with pride. "James Williams' son."Those three words had opened door adult's respect and trust.Para6heaved the heavy freight into the bed the truck, did with ease, feeling like stronger man than the one that left the farm that morning. had discovered that good name could furnish capital good will great value. Everyone knew what expect from Williams: decent person who kept his word and respected himself too much wrong ,great grandfather may have been sold slave auction, but this was not excuse wrong others. Instea father believed the only way honor him was through hard work and respect for all men.Para7children—eight brothers and two sisters—could enjoy our good name, unearned, unless and until did something lose . had interest how one another behaved and our own actions well, lest destroy the name father had created. Our good name was and still the glue that holds our family tight together.Para8The desire honor father's good name spurred become the first our family university. worked way through college porter four-star hotel. Eventually, that good name provided theinitiative start own successful public relations firm Washington, ..Para9America needs restore sense shame its neighborhoods. Doing drugs, spending all your money the liquor store, stealing, getting young woman pregnant with intent marry her should induce deep sense embarrassment. But doesn't. Nearly one out three births America single mother. Many these children will grow without the security and guidance they need become honorable members society.Para10 Once the social ties and mutual obligations the family melt away, communities fall apart. While the population has increased only percent since 1960, violent crime America has increased staggering 550 percent—and we've become exceedingly used . Teen drug use has also risen. one North Carolina County, police arrested students from secondary schools for dealing drugs, some them right the classroom.Para11Meanwhile, the small signs civility and respect that hold civilization are vanishing from schools, stores and streets. Phrases like "yes, ma'am", ", sir", "thank you" and "please" get yawn from kids today who are encouraged instead cursing television and music. They simply shrug off the rewards good name.Para12The good name passed father and maintained this day brothers and sisters and worth much now ever. Even today, when stop into Buck Davis' shop hometown barbershop for haircut, still greeted James Williams' son. family's good name did pave the way for .Unit2Para1 Modest and soft-spoken, Agatha Muthoni Mbogo, hardly the image revolutionary. Yet, six months ago, she did most revolutionary thing: She ran for mayor Embu, Kenya, and won.Para2 . Mbogo's victory was even more surprising because she was voted her colleagues the District Council, all men. For the thousands women this farming area two hours northeast Nairobi, . Mbogo suddenly became symbol the increasingly powerful political force women have become Kenya and across Africa.Para3 . Mbogo launched her dream career politics 1992 running for the Embu Council, facing the obstacles that often trouble African women running for political office. She had little money. She had political experience. She faced ridiculous questions about her personal life. " opponent kept insisting that was going get married somebody another town and move away," . Mbogo said.Para4 . Mbogo also faced misunderstanding among the town's women, many whom initially were unwilling vote for her. She became ambassador for women's political rights, giving speeches before women's groups and going from door door, handbag hand, spending hours time giving combination speech and government lesson.Para5 " was delighted when she won the election, because men elected her," said Lydiah Kimani, Embu farmer and political activist." was the answer prayers because seemed victory over thisidea that 'women can't lead'."Para6 Education African women has become top priority for political activists. One organization has held dozens workshops rural Kenya help women understand the nation's constitution and the procedures and theory behind democratic political system. One veteran female political activist said that many women had not been taught the basics political participation. They are taught vote for the one who "gives you half kilo sack flour, 200 grams salt, loaf bread" during the campaign, said the activist.Para7 Women politicians and activists say they are fighting deeply-held cultural traditions. Those traditions teach that African women cook, clean, take care children, sow and harvest crops and support their husbands. They typically not inherit land, divorce their husband, control their finances hold political office.Para8 Yet, political activity among Kenyan women not new phenomenon.During the struggle for independence the 1950s, Kenyan women often secretly provided troops with weapons and spied the positions colonial forces. But after independence, leaders jealous protect their power shut them out politics, situation repeated across the continent.Para9 Today, men still have the upper hand. Women Kenya make percent the people who vote, but only percent the National Assembly. Kenyan woman has ever held cabinet post.Para10Against that background, Agatha Mbogo began her political career. After winning her council seat, she declined spot the education and social services committee after colleague called " woman's committee". She instead joined the town planning committee, much more visible assignment.Para11 Then last year, she decided challenge Embu's mayor, veteran politician.. Mbogo said she had become frustrated because the donor groups that provide substantial aid Kenya's rural areas "did not want come here".Para12 " weren't seeing things done for the community," she said. " was scandal—the donors' money seemed going individuals."Para13 After fierce campaign, the council elected her . She said women Embu celebrated. Men were puzzled; some were hostile. They asked, "How could all those men vote for woman? " she recalled.Para14 . Mbogo has not met with the kinds abuse that other female politicians have been subjected , however. Some have said their supporters are sometimes attacked with clubs after rallies. Last June, Kenyan police attempted break women's political meeting northwest Nairobi, insisting was illegal and might start riot. When the 100 women, including member the National Assembly, refused , officers tore down their banners and beat them with clubs and fists, witnesses reported.Para15contrast, . Mbogo generally receives warm greetings from the men Embu, and many say they are now glad the council chose her.Para16Donor groups are now funding projects Embu earnest. new market going downtown. 200-bed section for new mothers being added the hospital. dormitory-style home has been built for the dozens homeless street children who once wandered the city. . Mbogo especially proud the market and the hospital because "they have impact women".Para17the current market, where hundreds people, shaded umbrellas, lay out fruits and vegetables, one person who sells lemons said she liked the new mayor.Para18 " feel like have problem, can her office," she said. "The other mayor shouted. acted like emperor. did not want hear problems."Para19 Nearby, man said found . Mbogo refreshing change."I'm tired men," said, watching over his pile onions. "They give many promises, but they don't deliver the goods. long she keeps giving what want, she all right."Unit3Para1was late afternoon when the chairman our Bangkok-based company gave assignment: would leave the next day accompany important Chinese businessman tourist sites northern Thailand. Silently angry, stared desk. The stacks paper bore witness huge amount work waiting done, even though had been working seven days week. How will ever catch ? wondered.Para2After one-hour flight the next morning, spent the day visiting attractions along with hundreds other tourists, most them loaded with cameras and small gifts. remember feeling annoyed this dense collection humanity.Para3That evening Chinese companion and climbed into chartered van dinner and show, one which had attended many times before.While chatted with other tourists, exchanged polite conversation the dark with man seated front , Belgian who spoke fluent English. wondered why held his head motionless odd angle, though were prayer. Then the truth struck . was blind.Para4 Behind someone switched light, and could see his thick silvery hair and strong, square jaw. His eyes seemed contain white mist. "Could please sit beside you the dinner?" asked. "And I'd love you'd describe little what you see."Para5 "I'd happy ," replied.Para6guest walked ahead toward the restaurant with newly found friends.The blind man and followed. hand held his elbow steer him, but stepped forward with sign hesitation stoop, his shoulders squared, his head high, though were guiding .Para7found table close the stage. ordered half liter beer and ordered grape soda. waited for our drinks, the blind man said, "The music seems out tune our Western ears, but has charm. Please describe the musicians."Para8hadn't noticed the five men performing the side the stage introduction the show. "They're seated cross-legged rug, dressed loose white cotton shirts and large black trousers, with fabric around their waists that has been dyed bright red. Three are young lads, one middle-aged and one elderly. One beats small drum, another plays wooden stringed instrument, and the other three have smaller, violin-like pieces they play with bow."Para9the lights dimmed, the blind man asked, "What your fellow tourists look like?"Para10 "All nationalities, colors, shapes and sizes, gallery human faces, whispered.Para11lowered voice further and spoke close his ear, the blind man leaned his head eagerly toward . had never before been listened with such intensity.Para12 "Very close elderly Japanese woman," said. "Just beyond her yellow-haired Scandinavian boy about five leaning forward, his face just below hers. They're motionless, waiting for the performance start. It's the perfect living portrait childhood and old age, Europe and Asia."Para13 "Yes, yes, see them," the blind man said quietly, smiling.Para14curtain the back the stage opened. Six young girls appeared, and described their violet-colored silk skirts, white blouses, and gold-colored hats like small crowns, with flexible points that moved rhythm with the dance. " the tips their fingers are golden nails perhaps centimeters long," told the blind man. "The nails highlight each elegant movement their hands. It's delightful effect."Para15smiled and nodded. "How wonderful— would love touch one those golden nails."Para16The first performance ended just finished dessert, and excused myself and went talk the theater manager. Upon returning, told companion, "You've been invited backstage."Para17few minutes later was standing next one the dancers, her little crowned head hardly reaching his chest. She shyly extended both hands toward him, the brass fingernails shining the overhead light. His hands, four times large, reached out slowly and held them though they were holding two tiny birds. felt the smooth, curving sharpness the metal tips, the girl stood quite still, gazing into his face with expression wonder. lump formed throat.Para18After taking cab back the inn, with Chinese guest still with the others, the blind man patted shoulder, then pulled toward him and embraced tightly. "How beautifully you saw everything for ," whispered. " can never thank you enough."Para19 Later thought: should have thanked him. was the one who had been blind, eyes merely skimming the surface things. had helped lift the veil that grows quickly over our eyes this busy world, see whole new realm I'd failed appreciate before.Para20About week after our trip, the chairman told the Chinese executive had called express great satisfaction with the trip. "Well done," the chairman said, smiling. " knew you could your magic."Para21was not able tell him that the magic had been done .Unit4Para1 Are you too tired the video store but you want see the movie Beauty and the Beast home? Want listen your favorite guitar player's latest jazz cassette? Need some new reading material, like magazine book? problem. Just sit down front your home computer and enter what you want, when you want , from electronic catalogue containing thousands titles.Para2 Your school has professors Japanese, language you want learn before visiting Japan during the coming summer holiday. Don't worry. Just sign for the language course offered school another district city, have the latest edition the course teaching materials sent your computer, and attend video. you need extra help with translation assignment your pronunciation, tutor can give you feedback via your computer.Para3 Welcome the information superhighway.Para4While nearly everyone has heard the information superhighway, even experts differ exactly what the term means and what the future promises will look like. Broadly speaking, however, the superhighway refers the union today's broadcasting, cable, video, telephone, and computer and semiconductor industries into one large all-connected industry.Para5Directing the union are technological advances that have made easier store and rapidly transmit information into homes and offices. Fiber-optic cable, for example—made hair-thin glass fibers— tremendously efficient carrier information. Lasers shooting light through glass fiber can transmit 250,000 times much data standard telephone wire, tens thousands paragraphs such this one every second.Para6 The greatly increased volume and speed data transmission that these technologies permit can compared the way which highway with many lanes allows more cars move faster speeds than two-lane highway—hence, the information superhighway.Para7The closest thing information superhighway today the Internet, the system linked computer networks that allows million people 135 countries exchange information.Para8But while the Internet primarily moves words, the information superhighway will soon make routine the electronic transmission data other formats, such audio files and images. That means, for example, that doctor Europe who particularly learned will able treat patients America after viewing their records via computer, deciding the correct dose medicine give the patient, perhaps even remotely controlling blade wielding robot during surgery.Para9 "Sending segmen video mail down the hall across the country will easier than typing out message keyboard," predicts one correspondent who specializes technology.Para10The world "the eve new era", says the former United States vice-president Gore, the Clinton administration's leading high technology advocate. Gore wants the federal government play the leading role shaping the superhighway.Para11However, era smaller budgets, the United States government unlikely come with the money needed during the next years construct the superhighway.That leaves private industry—computer, phone, and cable companies—move into the vacuum left the government's absence. And while these industries are pioneering the most exciting new technologies, some critics fear that profit-minded companies will only develop services for the wealthy." left the hands private enterprise, the data highway could become little more than synthetic universe for the rich," worries Jeffrey Chester, president the Center for Media Education Washington, ..Para12 Poor people must also have access high technology, says another expert."Such access will crucial obtaining high-quality education and getting good job. many transactions and exchanges are going made through this medium—banking, shopping, communication, and information—that those who have rely the postman send their correspondence risk really falling behind," says.Para13 Some experts were alarmed earlier this year when diagrams showed that four regional phone companies who are building components the superhighway were only connecting wealthy communities.Para14 The companies denied they were avoiding the poor, but conceded that the wealthy would likely the first benefit." had start building some-place," says spokesman for one the companies, "and that was areas where there are customers believe will buy the service. This business."Para15Advocates for the poor want the companies building the data highway devote portion their profits insuring universal access. Advocates universal access have already launched number projects their own. Berkeley, California, the city's Community Memory Project has placed computer terminals public buildings and subway stations, where message can sent for cents. Santa Monica, California, computers have replaced typewriters all public libraries, and anyone, not just librarians, can send correspondence via computer.Para16Many challenges face move closer the reality the information superhighway. order forvalue most people, individuals need become informed about what possible and how being connected will benefit. The possibilities are endless but order for the information superhighway become reality, some concrete steps need taken get the process started.Unit5Para1Identical twins Katie and Sarah Monahan arrived Pennsylvania's Gettysburg College last year determined strike out independent paths.Although the -year-old sisters had requested rooms different dorms, the housing office placed them the eighth floor the same building, across the hall from each other. While Katie got along with her roommate, Sarah was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should turned off how the furniture should arranged. Finally, they divided the room two and gave oral communication, communicating primarily through short notes.Para2 During this time, Sarah kept running across the hall seek comfort from Katie. Before long, the two wanted live together again. Sarah's roommate eventually agreed move out. "From the first night lived together again, felt comfortable," says Sarah. " felt like were back home."Para3 Sarah's ability solve her dilemma rooming with her identical twin unusual, but the conflict she faced not. Despite extensive efforts many schools make good roommate matches, unsatisfactory outcomes are common. One roommate always cold, while the other never wants turn the furnace, even though the thermometer says it's minus five outside.One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours day practicing the trumpet, turns his sound system the point where the whole room vibrates. One eats only organically produced vegetables and believes all living things are holy, even ants and mosquitoes, while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting frogs biology class.Para4 When personalities don't mix, the excitement being away college can quickly grow stale. Moreover, roommates can affect each other's psychological health. recent study reports that depression college roommates often passed from one person another.Para5Learning tolerate stranger's habits may teach undergraduates flexibility and the art compromise, but the learning process often painful. Julie Noel, a 21-year-old senior, recalls that she and her freshman year roommate didn't communicate and were uncomfortable throughout the year. " kept playing the same disk player for whole day once just test her because she was timid," says Noel. " took her until dinner time finally change ." Although they didn't saw the room half, near year's end, the two did end screaming fight. "Looking back, wish had talked her more about how was feeling," says Noel.Para6Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, irritating differences rather than from grand disputes over abstract philosophical principles. "It's the specifics that tear roommates apart," says the assistant director residential programs university Ohio.Para7extreme cases, roommate conflict can lead serious violence, did Harvard last spring:One student killed her roommate before committing suicide. Many schools have started conflict resolution programs calm tensions that otherwise can build like volcano preparing explode, ultimately resulting physical violence. Some colleges have resorted "roommate contracts" that all new students fill out and sign after attending seminar roommate relations. Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room, including acceptable hours for study and sleep, policy for use each other's possessions and how messages will handled. Although the contracts are not binding and will never jury, copies are given the floor's residential adviser case conflicts later arise."The contract gives permission talk about issues which students forget are afraid talk about," says the director residential programs.Para8Some schools try head off feuding before begins using computerized matching, process that nevertheless remains more guessing game than science. Students are put together the basis their responses housing form questions about smoking tolerance, preferred hours study and sleep, and self-described tendencies toward tidiness disorder. Parents sometimes weaken the process taking the forms and filling false and wishful data about their children's habits, especially the smoking question. The matching process also complicated philosophical debate among housing managers concerning the flavor university life: " you put together people who are similar— different, they can learn about each other?" cartoon sums the way many students feel the process works: Surrounded mass papers, housing worker picks two selection forms and exclaims, "Likes chess, likes football; they're perfect together!"Para9Alan Sussman, second-year student, says, " think they must have known each our personalities and picked the opposite," recalls. While Sussman was neat and serious about studying, his roommate was messy and liked party into the early hours the morning. " would come into the room and find him pawing through desk, looking for postage for letter. Another time, arrived find him chewing the last batch chocolate chip cookies mother had sent . People the hall were putting bets when were going start slapping each other around," says. Against all odds, the two ended being friends. Says Sussman: " taught each other lot—but would never again."Unit6Para1Every summer about dozen journalists gather former army training camp north London spend the day watching the training London's special armed police unit. These are the people who regularly have tackle the increasing number criminals who are prepared carry guns.Para2 The journalists also get chance shoot gun the practice range—none seems that difficult, and put most the bullets somewhere the target. But then move the next stage the training, where some the problems, which actually crop the street are imitated. The lights the range are dimmed and are stood front large screen. still have guns, but the bullets are fake, and videos are played where actors act out various types situations.Para3 Does the man holding woman front him really have gun not? the man apparently preparingsurrender really going , going raise the gun fron him and shoot? have decide whether shoot and when, just like the police officer has when faced with this situation for real.

The current policy have small number specialists available each the police departments Britain. They are kept scratch with intensive and regular training.Para5 But the wisdom that policy has been questioned the amount violence encountered the police has grown. usually the ordinary street officer who the wrong end this, rather than the armed experts who arrive rather later.Para6see the direction which the British police are heading, consider the experience the Northumbria police who have responsibility for law and order ,000 square kilometers Northeast England. The population . million, living rural areas and few urban centers. The ,600 police officers the force deal with all the typical problems thrown the Britain the 1990s.Para7John Stevens, head the Northumbria Police Department, has just published his review the past years.

Before being allowed leave the police for medical reasons, they lost between them ,000 days sick leave: the equivalent police officers off the street for full year.Para8Stevens makes this observation: "The personal cost policing has never been high. One-third the officers leaving were disabled the very worst degree and will suffer for the rest their lives for their efforts the fight against crime."Para9This picture policeman's lot could repeated many other parts Britain, yet the police themselves still oppose more widespread arming their officers.

But they, course, would not have carry them and maybe even use them. Recalling own experience shooting gun the practice range, certainly would not want the responsibility.Para11clear everyone that the police need more protection against the gun and the knife.

新视野大学英语(第二版)读写教程第四册课文翻译(最新完整版)Unit 1section A名气之尾艺术家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。
成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。
对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家，其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢！”他们的担心不无道理。
追求出人头地，最乐观地说也困难重重，许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒，也是几近精神崩溃。
尽管如此，希望赢得追星族追捧和同行赞扬之类的不太纯洁的动机却在激励着他们向前。
享受成功的无上光荣，这种诱惑不是能轻易抵挡的。
成名者之所以成名，大多是因为发挥了自己在歌唱、舞蹈、绘画或写作等方面的特长，并能形成自己的风格。
为了能迅速走红，代理人会极力吹捧他们这种风格。
他们青云直上的过程让人看不清楚。
他们究竟是怎么成功的，大多数人也都说不上来。
尽管如此，艺术家仍然不能闲下来。
若表演者、画家或作家感到无聊，他们的作品就难以继续保持以前的吸引力，也就难以保持公众的注意力。
公众的热情消磨以后，就会去追捧下一个走红的人。
有些艺术家为了不落伍，会对他们的写作、跳舞或唱歌的风格稍加变动，但这将冒极大的失宠的危险。
公众对于他们藉以成名的艺术风格以外的任何形式都将不屑一顾。
知名作家的文风一眼就能看出来，如田纳西·威廉斯的戏剧、欧内斯特·海明威的情节安排、罗伯特·弗罗斯特或T.S.艾略特的诗歌等。
同样，像莫奈、雷诺阿、达利这样的画家，希区柯克、费里尼、斯皮尔伯格、陈凯歌或张艺谋这样的电影制作人也是如此。
他们鲜明独特的艺术风格标志着与别人不同的艺术形式上的重大变革，这让他们名利双收，但也让他们付出了代价，那就是失去了用其他风格或形式表现自我的自由。
名气这盏聚光灯可比热带丛林还要炙热。
骗局很快会被揭穿，过多的关注带来的压力会让大多数人难以承受。
它让你失去自我。
你必须是公众认可的那个你，而不是真实的你或是可能的你。

The Temptation of a Respectable WomanMrs.Baroda was a little annoyed to learn that her husband expected his friend, Gouvernail, up to spend a week or two on the plantation.Gouvernail's quiet personality puzzled Mrs.Baroda. After a few days with him, she could understand him no better than at first. She left her husband and his guest, for the most part, alone together, only to find that Gouvernail hardly noticed her absence. Then she imposed her company upon him, accompanying him in his idle walks to the mill to press her attempt to penetrate the silence in which he had unconsciously covered himself. But it hardly worked."When is he going — your friend?" she one day asked her husband. "For my part, I find him a terrible nuisance.""Not for a week yet, dear. I can't understand; he gives you no trouble.""No. I should like him better if he did — if he were more like others, and I had to plan somewhat for his comfort and enjoyment."Gaston pulled the sleeve of his wife's dress, gathered his arms around her waist and looked merrily into her troubled eyes."You are full of surprises," he said to her. "Even I can never count upon how you are going to act under given conditions. Here you are," he went on, "taking poor Gouvernail seriously and making a fuss about him, the last thing he would desire or expect.""Fuss!" she hotly replied. "Nonsense! How can you say such a thing! Fuss, indeed! But, you know, you said he was clever.""So he is. But the poor fellow is run down by too much work now. That's why I asked him here to take a rest.""You used to say he was a man of wit," she said, still annoyed. "I expected him to be interesting, at least. I'm going to the city in the morning to have my spring dresses fitted. Let me know when Mr.Gouvernail is gone; until that time I shall be at my aunt's house."That night she went and sat alone upon a bench that stood beneath an oak tree at the edge of the walk. She had never known her thoughts to be so confused; like the bats now above her, her thoughts quickly flew this way and that. She could gather nothing from them but the feeling of a distinct necessity to leave her home in the next morning.Mrs.Baroda heard footsteps coming from the direction of the barn; she knew it was Gouvernail. She hoped to remain unnoticed, but her white gown revealed her to him. He seated himself upon the bench beside her, without a suspicion that she might object to his presence."Your husband told me to bring this to you, Mrs.Baroda," he said, handing her a length of sheer white fabric with which she sometimes covered her head and shoulders. She accepted it from him and let it lie in her lap.He made some routine observations upon the unhealthy effect of the night breeze at that season. Then as his gaze reached out into the darkness, hebegan to talk.Gouvernail was in no sense a shy man. His periods of silence were not his basic nature, but the result of moods. When he was sitting there beside Mrs.Baroda, his silence melted for the time.He talked freely and intimately in a low, hesitating voice that was not unpleasant to hear. He talked of the old college days when he and Gaston had been best friends, of the days of keen ambitions and large intentions. Now, all there was left with him was a desire to be permitted to exist, with now and then a little breath of genuine life, such as he was breathing now.Her mind only vaguely grasped what he was saying. His words became a meaningless succession of verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives; she only drank in the tones of his voice. She wanted to reach out her hand in the darkness and touch him — which she might have done if she had not been a respectable woman.The stronger the desire grew to bring herself near him, the further, in fact, did she move away from him. As soon as she could do so without an appearance of being rude, she pretended to yawn, rose, and left him there alone.Mrs.Baroda was greatly tempted that night to tell her husband — who was also her friend — of this foolishness that had seized her. But she did not yield to the temptation. Besides being an upright and respectable woman she was also a very sensible one.When Gaston arose the next morning, his wife had already departed, without even saying farewell. A porter had carried her trunk to the station and she had taken an early morning train to the city. She did not return until Gouvernail was gone from under her roof.There was some talk of having him back during the summer that followed. That is, Gaston greatly desired it; but this desire yielded to his honorable wife's vigorous opposition.However, before the year ended, she proposed, wholly from herself, to have Gouvernail visit them again. Her husband was surprised and delighted with the suggestion coming from her."I am glad, my dear, to know that you have finally overcome your dislike for him; truly he did not deserve it.""Oh," she told him, laughingly, after pressing a long, tender kiss upon his lips, "I have overcome everything! You will see. This time I shall be very nice to him."一个正派女人受到的诱惑得知丈夫请了他的朋友古韦内尔来种植园小住一两周，巴罗达太太有点不快。

The sun was hot, did not need towel was dry the time climbed the clay banks and crossed the road ditch the truck. Just before town, the road shot along the sea where would collect seashells gather seaweed beneath the giant crane unloading the ships. This trip was different, though. father had told I'd have ask for credit the store.Para2was 1976, and the ugly shadow racism was still fact life. I'd seen friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while storeowner enquired into whether they were "good for ". Many store clerks watched black youths with the assumption that they were thieves every time they even went into grocery.Para3family was honest. paid our debts. But just before harvest, all the money flowed out. There were new deposits the bank. Cash was short. Davis Brothers' General Store, Buck Davis stood behind the register, talking middle-aged farmer. Buck was tall, weathered man red hunting shirt and nodded passed him way the hardware section get container nails, coil binding wire and fencing. pulled purchases the counter and placed the nails the tray the scale, saying carefully, " need put this credit." brow was moist with nervous sweat and wiped away with the back arm.Para4 The farmer gave amused, cynical look, but Buck's face didn't change. "Sure," said easily, reaching for his booklet where kept records for credit. gave sigh relief. "Your daddy always good for ." turned the farmer. "This here one James Williams' sons. They broke the mold when they made that man."Para5 The farmer nodded neighborly way. was filled with pride. "James Williams' son."Those three words had opened door adult's respect and trust.Para6heaved the heavy freight into the bed the truck, did with ease, feeling like stronger man than the one that left the farm that morning. had discovered that good name could furnish capital good will great value.

Mbogo's victory was even more surprising because she was voted her colleagues the District Council, all men. For the thousands women this farming area two hours northeast Nairobi, . Mbogo suddenly became symbol the increasingly powerful political force women have become Kenya and across Africa.Para3 . Mbogo launched her dream career politics 1992 running for the Embu Council, facing the obstacles that often trouble African women running for political office. She had little money. She had political experience. She faced ridiculous questions about her personal life. " opponent kept insisting that was going get married somebody another town and move away," . Mbogo said.Para4 .

Lasers shooting light through glass fiber can transmit 250,000 times much data standard telephone wire, tens thousands paragraphs such this one every second.Para6 The greatly increased volume and speed data transmission that these technologies permit can compared the way which highway with many lanes allows more cars move faster speeds than two-lane highway—hence, the information superhighway.Para7 The closest thing information superhighway today the Internet, the system linked computer networks that allows million people 135 countries exchange information.Para8But while the Internet primarily moves words, the information superhighway will soon make routine the electronic transmission data other formats, such audio files and images. That means, for example, that doctor Europe who particularly learned will able treat patients America after viewing their records via computer, deciding the correct dose medicine give the patient, perhaps even remotely controlling blade wielding robot during surgery.Para9 "Sending segmen video mail down the hall across the country will easier than typing out message keyboard," predicts one correspondent who specializes technology.Para10The world "the eve new era", says the former United States vice-president Gore, the Clinton administration's leading high technology advocate. Gore wants the federal government play the leading role shaping the superhighway.Para11However, era smaller budgets, the United States government unlikely come with the money needed during the next years construct the superhighway.That leaves private industry—computer, phone, and cable companies—move into the vacuum left the government's absence. And while these industries are pioneering the most exciting new technologies, some critics fear that profit-minded companies will only develop services for the wealthy." left the hands private enterprise, the data highway could become little more than synthetic universe for the rich," worries Jeffrey Chester, president the Center for Media Education Washington, ..Para12 Poor people must also have access high technology, says another expert."Such access will crucial obtaining high-quality education and getting good job. many transactions and exchanges are going made through this medium—banking, shopping, communication, and information—that those who have rely the postman send their correspondence risk really falling behind," says.Para13 Some experts were alarmed earlier this year when diagrams showed that four regional phone companies who are building components the superhighway were only connecting wealthy communities.Para14 The companies denied they were avoiding the poor, but conceded that the wealthy would likely the first benefit." had start building some-place," says spokesman for one the companies, "and that was areas where there are customers believe will buy the service. This business."Para15Advocates for the poor want the companies building the data highway devote portion their profits insuring universal access. Advocates universal access have already launched number projects their own. Berkeley, California, the city's Community Memory Project has placed computer terminals public buildings and subway stations, where message can sent for cents. Santa Monica, California, computers have replaced typewriters all public libraries, and anyone, not just librarians, can send correspondence via computer.Para16Many challenges face move closer the reality the information superhighway. order forvalue most people, individuals need become informed about what possible and how being connected will benefit. The possibilities are endless but order for the information superhighway become reality, some concrete steps need taken get the process started.Unit5Para1Identical twins Katie and Sarah Monahan arrived Pennsylvania's Gettysburg College last year determined strike out independent paths.Although the -year-old sisters had requested rooms different dorms, the housing office placed them the eighth floor the same building, across the hall from each other. While Katie got along with her roommate, Sarah was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should turned off how the furniture should arranged. Finally, they divided the room two and gave oral communication, communicating primarily through short notes.Para2 During this time, Sarah kept running across the hall seek comfort from Katie. Before long, the two wanted live together again. Sarah's roommate eventually agreed move out. "From the first night lived together again, felt comfortable," says Sarah. " felt like were back home."Para3 Sarah's ability solve her dilemma rooming with her identical twin unusual, but the conflict she faced not. Despite extensive efforts many schools make good roommate matches, unsatisfactory outcomes are common. One roommate always cold, while the other never wants turn the furnace, even though the thermometer says it's minus five outside.One person likes quiet, while the other person spends two hours day practicing the trumpet, turns his sound system the point where the whole room vibrates. One eats only organically produced vegetables and believes all living things are holy, even ants and mosquitoes, while the other likes wearing fur and enjoys cutting frogs biology class.Para4 When personalities don't mix, the excitement being away college can quickly grow stale. Moreover, roommates can affect each other's psychological health. recent study reports that depression college roommates often passed from one person another.Para5Learning tolerate stranger's habits may teach undergraduates flexibility and the art compromise, but the learning process often painful. Julie Noel, a 21-year-old senior, recalls that she and her freshman year roommate didn't communicate and were uncomfortable throughout the year. " kept playing the same disk player for whole day once just test her because she was timid," says Noel. " took her until dinner time finally change ." Although they didn't saw the room half, near year's end, the two did end screaming fight. "Looking back, wish had talked her more about how was feeling," says Noel.Para6Most roommate conflicts spring from such small, irritating differences rather than from grand disputes over abstract philosophical principles. "It's the specifics that tear roommates apart," says the assistant director residential programs university Ohio.Para7extreme cases, roommate conflict can lead serious violence, did Harvard last spring:One student killed her roommate before committing suicide. Many schools have started conflict resolution programs calm tensions that otherwise can build like volcano preparing explode, ultimately resulting physical violence. Some colleges have resorted "roommate contracts" that all new students fill out and sign after attending seminar roommate relations. Students detail behavioral guidelines for their room, including acceptable hours for study and sleep, policy for use each other's possessions and how messages will handled. Although the contracts are not binding and will never jury, copies are given the floor's residential adviser case conflicts later arise."The contract gives permission talk about issues which students forget are afraid talk about," says the director residential programs.Para8Some schools try head off feuding before begins using computerized matching, process that nevertheless remains more guessing game than science. Students are put together the basis their responses housing form questions about smoking tolerance, preferred hours study and sleep, and self-described tendencies toward tidiness disorder. Parents sometimes weaken the process taking the forms and filling false and wishful data about their children's habits, especially the smoking question. The matching process also complicated philosophical debate among housing managers concerning the flavor university life: " you put together people who are similar— different, they can learn about each other?" cartoon sums the way many students feel the process works: Surrounded mass papers, housing worker picks two selection forms and exclaims, "Likes chess, likes football; they're perfect together!"Para9Alan Sussman, second-year student, says, " think they must have known each our personalities and picked the opposite," recalls. While Sussman was neat and serious about studying, his roommate was messy and liked party into the early hours the morning. " would come into the room and find him pawing through desk, looking for postage for letter. Another time, arrived find him chewing the last batch chocolate chip cookies mother had sent . People the hall were putting bets when were going start slapping each other around," says. Against all odds, the two ended being friends. Says Sussman: " taught each other lot—but would never again."Unit6Para1Every summer about dozen journalists gather former army training camp north London spend the day watching the training London's special armed police unit. These are the people who regularly have tackle the increasing number criminals who are prepared carry guns.Para2 The journalists also get chance shoot gun the practice range—none seems that difficult, and put most the bullets somewhere the target. But then move the next stage the training, where some the problems, which actually crop the street are imitated. The lights the range are dimmed and are stood front large screen. still have guns, but the bullets are fake, and videos are played where actors act out various types situations.Para3 Does the man holding woman front him really have gun not? the man apparently preparingsurrender really going , going raise the gun fron him and shoot? have decide whether shoot and when, just like the police officer has when faced with this situation for real. The journalists' results here were not impressive. afraid killed many innocent person carrying nothing more lethal than stick.Para4 The debate over whether more police Britain should armed with guns has been going for years. The current policy have small number specialists available each the police departments Britain. They are kept scratch with intensive and regular training.Para5 But the wisdom that policy has been questioned the amount violence encountered the police has grown. usually the ordinary street officer who the wrong end this, rather than the armed experts who arrive rather later.Para6see the direction which the British police are heading, consider the experience the Northumbria police who have responsibility for law and order ,000 square kilometers Northeast England. The population . million, living rural areas and few urban centers. The ,600 police officers the force deal with all the typical problems thrown the Britain the 1990s.Para7John Stevens, head the Northumbria Police Department, has just published his review the past years. During 1994, for example, officers ( men and women) were forced into early retirement after being attacked duty. Before being allowed leave the police for medical reasons, they lost between them ,000 days sick leave: the equivalent police officers off the street for full year.Para8Stevens makes this observation: "The personal cost policing has never been high. One-third the officers leaving were disabled the very worst degree and will suffer for the rest their lives for their efforts the fight against crime."Para9This picture policeman's lot could repeated many other parts Britain, yet the police themselves still oppose more widespread arming their officers. The most recent survey, conducted last year, showed that only % were favor.Para10The general public, however, likes the idea: % favored wider issuing guns. But they, course, would not have carry them and maybe even use them. Recalling own experience shooting gun the practice range, certainly would not want the responsibility.Para11clear everyone that the police need more protection against the gun and the knife. They already carry longer clubs replace the old ones. They have access knife-resistant coats and gloves.Para12 The likely next step agreement from the government test pepper spray, organic substance derived from peppers that disables attacker sprayed his face. used properly, the discomfort, although extreme, only temporary.

新视野大学英语2课文翻译（Unit1-Unit7）Unit 1 Section A 时间观念强的美国人Para. 1 美国人认为没有人能停止不前。
如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。
这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。
时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一个是劳力。
Para. 2 人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。
”人们似乎是把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待的。
我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。
时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。
时光一去不复返。
我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。
Para. 3 外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙——常常处于压力之下。
城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。
白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。
工作时间被认为是宝贵的。
Para. 3b 在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人吃完后用餐，以便按时赶回去工作。
你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。
你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。
不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。
Para. 4 许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。
他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。
他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。
一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。
既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。
因此，时间老是在我们心中的耳朵里滴滴答答地响着。

Unit 1Text A爱情与逻辑：谬误的故事1 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后，我和波莉有了第一次约会。
那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克，而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的，他一想到这个就受不了，于是他和我达成了一项协议，用他的女友换取我的夹克。
他可不那么聪明，而他的女友波莉也不太精明。
2 但她漂亮而且富有，也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。
她拥有合适的家庭背景，足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。
如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半，我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。
3 “光彩照人”，她已经是了。
而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”，让她变得“谈吐优雅”。
4 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后，我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。
我的想法有些怪异。
而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区，我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。
我们呆在车子里，我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。
“我们要谈些什么？”她问道。
5 “逻辑学。
”6 “好酷啊，”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。
7 “逻辑学的原理，”我说道，“即清晰思考的主要原则。
逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实，其中有些还很普遍。
我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。
”8 “好啊，”她表示同意。
9 “‘绝对判断’是指在证据不足的情况下所作出的推断。
比方说：运动是有益的，所以每个人都应该运动。
”10 她点头表示赞同。
11 我看得出她没弄明白。
“波莉，”我解释说，“这个推断太过简单化了。
如果你有心脏病或者超级肥胖症什么的，运动就变得有害而不是有益。
所以你应该说，运动对大多数人来说是有益的。
”12 “接下来是‘草率结论’。
这似乎不言自明，对吧？仔细听好了：你不会说法语，罗伯也不会说法语，那么这所学校里好像是没有人会说法语。
”13 “是吗？”波莉吃惊地说。
“没有人吗？”14 “这也是一种逻辑谬误，”我说，“这一结论太草率了，因为能够支持这一结论的例证太少了。

The Temptation of a Respectable WomanMrs.Baroda was a little annoyed to learn that her husband expected his friend, Gouvernail, up to spend a week or two on the plantation.Gouvernail's quiet personality puzzled Mrs.Baroda. After a few days with him, she could understand him no better than at first. She left her husband and his guest, for the most part, alone together, only to find that Gouvernail hardly noticed her absence. Then she imposed her company upon him, accompanying him in his idle walks to the mill to press her attempt to penetrate the silence in which he had unconsciously covered himself. But it hardly worked."When is he going — your friend?" she one day asked her husband. "For my part, I find him a terrible nuisance.""Not for a week yet, dear. I can't understand; he gives you no trouble.""No. I should like him better if he did — if he were more like others, and I had to plan somewhat for his comfort and enjoyment."Gaston pulled the sleeve of his wife's dress, gathered his arms around her waist and looked merrily into her troubled eyes."You are full of surprises," he said to her. "Even I can never count upon how you are going to act under given conditions. Here you are," he went on, "taking poor Gouvernail seriously and making a fuss about him, the last thing he would desire or expect.""Fuss!" she hotly replied. "Nonsense! How can you say such a thing! Fuss, indeed! But, you know, you said he was clever.""So he is. But the poor fellow is run down by too much work now. That's why I asked him here to take a rest.""You used to say he was a man of wit," she said, still annoyed. "I expected him to be interesting, at least. I'm going to the city in the morning to have my spring dresses fitted. Let me know when Mr.Gouvernail is gone; until that time I shall be at my aunt's house."That night she went and sat alone upon a bench that stood beneath an oak tree at the edge of the walk. She had never known her thoughts to be so confused; like the bats now above her, her thoughts quickly flew this way and that. She could gather nothing from them but the feeling of a distinct necessity to leave her home in the next morning.Mrs.Baroda heard footsteps coming from the direction of the barn; she knew it was Gouvernail. She hoped to remain unnoticed, but her white gown revealed her to him. He seated himself upon the bench beside her, without a suspicion that she might object to his presence."Your husband told me to bring this to you, Mrs.Baroda," he said, handing her a length of sheer white fabric with which she sometimes covered her head and shoulders. She accepted it from him and let it lie in her lap.He made some routine observations upon the unhealthy effect of the night breeze at that season. Then as his gaze reached out into the darkness, hebegan to talk.Gouvernail was in no sense a shy man. His periods of silence were not his basic nature, but the result of moods. When he was sitting there beside Mrs.Baroda, his silence melted for the time.He talked freely and intimately in a low, hesitating voice that was not unpleasant to hear. He talked of the old college days when he and Gaston had been best friends, of the days of keen ambitions and large intentions. Now, all there was left with him was a desire to be permitted to exist, with now and then a little breath of genuine life, such as he was breathing now.Her mind only vaguely grasped what he was saying. His words became a meaningless succession of verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives; she only drank in the tones of his voice. She wanted to reach out her hand in the darkness and touch him — which she might have done if she had not been a respectable woman.The stronger the desire grew to bring herself near him, the further, in fact, did she move away from him. As soon as she could do so without an appearance of being rude, she pretended to yawn, rose, and left him there alone.Mrs.Baroda was greatly tempted that night to tell her husband — who was also her friend — of this foolishness that had seized her. But she did not yield to the temptation. Besides being an upright and respectable woman she was also a very sensible one.When Gaston arose the next morning, his wife had already departed, without even saying farewell. A porter had carried her trunk to the station and she had taken an early morning train to the city. She did not return until Gouvernail was gone from under her roof.There was some talk of having him back during the summer that followed. That is, Gaston greatly desired it; but this desire yielded to his honorable wife's vigorous opposition.However, before the year ended, she proposed, wholly from herself, to have Gouvernail visit them again. Her husband was surprised and delighted with the suggestion coming from her."I am glad, my dear, to know that you have finally overcome your dislike for him; truly he did not deserve it.""Oh," she told him, laughingly, after pressing a long, tender kiss upon his lips, "I have overcome everything! You will see. This time I shall be very nice to him."一个正派女人受到的诱惑得知丈夫请了他的朋友古韦内尔来种植园小住一两周，巴罗达太太有点不快。

SectionBunit1夏日的一天，父亲让我去买些铁丝网和栅栏，用来围畜棚，把牛圈起来。
那时我16岁，最喜欢开上货车，沿着老磨坊路到城里去。
赊账”。
许多店员只要一看见年轻的黑人走进商店，就盯着他们，疑心他们是小偷。
我们家人诚实正派，有债必还。
但在庄稼收割之前，所有的钱都已经花光了。
银行里也没有新的存款，现金不够。
“这是詹姆士·威廉的儿子。
像詹姆士·威廉这样讲信用的人是很少的。
”那个农夫友善地点了点头。
我的心里顿时充满了自豪。
“詹姆士·威廉的儿子”，这句话打开了通往成年人的尊敬和信任的大门。
起来的好名声。
我们的好名声曾经是，现在仍是把我们家紧紧联系在一起的纽带。
我不愿意辜负父亲的好名声，这激励我成为了家里第一个上大学的人。
我靠在一家四星级酒店当行李工挣钱读完了大学。
最终，好名声促使我在华盛顿特区开办了我个人的公共关系公司。
美国需要在社区里重新树立羞耻感。
与此同时，支撑着文明、体现于细微之处的礼貌和敬意，却正从学校、商店和街头消失。
由于受到电视和音乐中的脏话的影响，像“是的，女士”、“不，先生”、“谢谢”和“请”这样的话，只会让今天的孩子哈欠连天。
他们对好名声的作用满不在乎。
从父亲那传下来的，由我的兄弟姐妹和我保持的好名声，在现在仍和过去一样地更令人感到意外的是，姆波戈女士是由区议会的同事们投票选出的，而那些人全是男性。
在肯尼亚乃至整个非洲，妇女的政治力量日益壮大。
恩布市是一个位于内罗毕东北部的农业地区，距内罗毕两个小时的车程。
对于生活在此地的数千妇女来说，姆波戈成了这种力量的标志。
1992年，姆波戈女士开始追寻她的从政梦想，她竞选了恩布市议员。
像其他打算从政的非洲妇女一样，她面对着很多阻碍：迪亚·基曼尼如是说。
“这正是我期望的结果，因为它似乎战胜了‘女人当不了领导者’这种观念。
”非洲妇女的教育已经成为政治活动家们着重考虑的问题。
有个机构已经在肯尼亚农村举办了十几次研讨会，目的是帮助妇女理解国家宪法以及民主政治制度的程序及理论。
一位资深的女政治活动家说，许多妇女连参政的最基本知识都没学过。
她说，有人教她们，在竞选运动中谁“给你半公斤面粉、200克食盐或一条面今天，男性仍占有优势。
肯尼亚妇女占选民人数的60%，但在国民大会中的席位仅有3%。
从来没有一位肯尼亚妇女担任过内阁职务。
在这种背景下，阿加莎·姆波戈开始了她的政治生涯。
在赢得议会席位之后，她拒绝了被同事称为“女人委员会”的教育及社会服务委员会的职位，而男人们则很不解，有些甚至心怀敌意。
她回忆说，男人们不解：那些男人怎么会选一个女人？但姆波戈女士并没有像其他女政治家那样受到攻击。
有些女政治家曾说她们的支持者有时在集会后会受到棍棒袭击。
去年6月，肯尼亚警方企图驱散在内罗毕西北部举行的一次妇女政治集会，坚持说它是非法的，可能引发骚乱。
目击者报告说，当时有100名妇女，包括一名国民大会委员。
她们拒绝离开，在现在的市场上，数以百计的人在遮阳伞下摆卖果蔬。
一个卖柠檬的妇女说她喜欢新市长。
“我感觉如果碰到问题，我可以到她的办公室去找她，”她说。
“以前的市长呼来喝去，好像是个皇帝，他并不想听我的问题。
”旁边，有个男人说他发觉姆波戈女士带来了一种清新的变化。
“我厌倦了男人，”看着自己那一大堆洋葱，他说。
大多数都带着相机，满载着小礼物。
我仍记得那天挤在密集的人群中，心里很恼火。
当天晚上我和这位中国伙伴一起坐上了旅游包车去吃晚饭、看表演。
那场表演我以前看过很多次了。
他跟其他游客聊着天，我则在黑暗中跟一位坐在我前面的男士说些应酬的话。
他是位比利时人，讲一口流利的英语。
我开始感到奇怪，为什么他的头一动不动地保持着一个古怪的角度，好像在祷告一样。
我和这位盲人跟了进去。
我用手搀着他的肘部给他领路，但他昂首挺胸地前行，没有丝毫的犹豫或佝偻，好像是他在给我带路。
我们找了一张靠近舞台的桌子，他要了半升啤酒，我则要了一杯葡萄汽水。
我们等着上饮料时，这位盲人说：“我们西方人听起来这首乐曲似乎变调了，但还是挺有魅力的，您能描述一下奏乐的人吗？”我低声说。
我把声音压得更低，凑近他的耳朵说话，他也热切地把头靠过来。
从来没有人如此强烈地想听我讲话。
“离我们很近的是一位日本老妇人，”我说。
“她旁边有一个黄头发的斯堪的纳维亚男孩，大约五岁，身体往前倾，他的脸刚好在老妇人的脸下面。
他微笑着点点头：“太美妙了，我真想摸一下那些金色的指甲。
”第一个节目结束时，我们刚好吃完甜食，我找了个借口过去与戏院经理搭话。
我一回来就告诉我的伙伴：“有人请你到后台去。
”几分钟后他站到了其中一位舞蹈演员的身旁，她戴着小皇冠，但还不及他胸部那么高。
她害羞地将两只手伸向他，黄铜指甲在头顶射下的灯光下闪闪发光。
后来我想，是我该谢谢他。
其实盲的人是我，我看事物只是在表面一掠而过。
在这忙碌的世界里，一层快速形成的面纱遮住了我们的双眼，是他帮我揭开了这层面纱，见到了一个以前从未欣赏到的崭新世界。
此行之后的一周，主席告诉我，那位中国经理来电话说他对旅程非常满意。
“干得好，”主席笑着说，的东西和需要的时间就行了。
在暑假去日本之前你想学日语，可学校又没有日语老师。
不用担心，你可以报名上另一地区或城市的学校的日语课，让他们将这门课程最新的教材传送到你的电脑上，然后通过看录像学习。
如果你在翻译作业或发音上还需额外帮助，辅导教师可通过电脑给你反馈。
可传送几万段像这样的文字。
这些技术使得数据传送的容量和速度大大提高。
这种情况可以与高速公路相比，相比双车道，多车道能使更多的车以更快的速度行驶──信息高速公路由此得名。
今天，与信息高速公路最接近的就是互联网，这是一个由电脑连接而成的网络系统，它能使135个国家多达2,500万人进行信息交换。
戈尔希望联邦政府在决定信息高速公路的发展方面发挥领导作用。
然而，在一个预算拨款相对较少的时期，美国政府不可能拿得出今后20年里建设信息高速公路所需的资金。
这就使得私人企业──电脑公司、电话公司、有线电视公司──得以填补由于政府无法顾及所留下的空缺。
尽管这些企业在最令人振奋的新技术上领先，一些批评者担心追逐利润的企业会只开发面向富人的服务项目。
这几家公司否认自己避开穷人，但也承认有钱人会成为首批受益者。
其中一家公司的发言人说：“我们总要先从某些地区开始，即我们认为会有顾客购买这些服务的地区。
做生意就是这样。
”维护穷人权益的人士希望这些正在建设数据高速公路的公司能够将其利润的一部分用于此项技术的普及。
提倡技术普及的人士已启动了他们自己的几个项目。
在加利福尼亚的伯克利，“社区存储器项目”已在公共建筑物和地铁站里安装了同卵双胞胎卡蒂和萨拉·莫纳汉去年来到宾夕法尼亚的葛底斯堡大学，决心闯出一条独立之路。
虽然这对18岁的姐妹曾要求住在不同的宿舍楼，但宿管处还是把她们安排在了同一栋楼的第8层，中间只隔一条过道。
卡蒂与室友相处融洽，但萨拉却十分不快。
她因许多事情与室友暗地里不和，诸如什么时候熄灯、家具应如何摆放等等。
最后她们将房间一分为二，彼此不再说话，主要通过写便条进行交流。
度已达零下5度。
一个喜欢安静，而另一个却每天练习两个小时的小号，或将音响开得很大，响得连整个房间都在振动。
一个只吃有机蔬菜产品，认为所有生物都是神圣的，即使是蚂蚁、蚊子也如此，而另一位却爱穿皮草，喜欢在生物课上将青蛙开膛破肚。
彼此性格不合时，离家上大学的那种兴奋感就会立刻变得索然无味。
而且，室友会互相影响对方的心理健康。
大多数室友间冲突的起因都是小小的令人不快的分歧，而不是抽象的哲学原则上的重大争执。
“都是具体的事情弄得室友不和，”俄亥俄州一所大学的宿舍管理处主任助理说。
在极端的情况下，室友间的冲突可能引发严重的暴力事件。
去年春天哈佛大学就发生了这种情况：一位学生将她的室友杀害后自杀。
许多学校都已经启动了化解冲突的项目，以缓和紧张形势，要不然它们就会像火测游戏，并不科学。
它根据学生对住宿表格上一系列问题的回答将他们组合在一起。
这些问题包括是否容忍抽烟，选择什么样的作息时间，以及对个人习惯是整洁还是凌乱的自我描述。
有时家长会拿走表格，就他们孩子的习惯填入不真实的、一厢情愿的数据，特别是在吸烟问题上，这就削弱了这种做法的效果。
此外，宿舍管理人员中关于大学生活特色的理论之争也使这一安排过程复杂化。
这一争论围绕的主题是：“到底是让相似的人住在一起，还是让不同的人住在一的。
宿舍楼里的人都在打赌我们什么时候打起来，”他说。
但是出乎人们的意料，他们却最终成了朋友。
萨斯曼说：“我们彼此从对方身上学到了许多东西──但我也决不想再有这样的经历了。
”unit6每年夏天，总有大约十几名记者聚集在伦敦北部的一个旧军训营，用一整天的时出判断一样。
记者们在这一阶段的表现不太出色。
恐怕我们打死了不少无辜的人，他们手中最致命的东西只不过是一根棍子而已。
多年来，对于是否该给更多的英国警员配枪，人们一直争论不休。
目前的做法是给英国所有的43个警局都配备少数特警，他们定期接受强化训练来保持达标。
在因健康原因获准退休前，他们共请病假12,000天，相当于50名警员休假一年。
史蒂文斯这样评论道：“警务的人力成本从未如此之高，离职的警员中严重伤残的达三分之一，他们因打击犯罪而将在余生中承受痛苦。
”警察的这种遭遇也发生在英国其他地方。
不过警局本身仍反对扩大为警员配备武器的范围。
如果喷在脸上，它能使袭击者丧失行动能力。
运用得当的话，所产生的不适就只是暂时的，尽管很强烈。
只要用水冲洗，几个小时内应可彻底恢复。
这当然是难受的，但比挨子弹要好。
很多英国人不反对警察携带加长的警棍或胡椒喷雾剂。
他们只是想见到警察。
不知多少次，当我们在街上拍摄警察镜头时，总有当地居民过来告诉我们，这是要么你连见都见不到他，要么他没有时间回答。
unit7有一种流行的说法，世界上的伟大天才──爱因斯坦们、毕加索们、莫扎特们，似乎都是造物主神功使然，不知从什么地方冒出来的。
卡尔·弗里德里希·高斯就是一个典型，据说他出身在一个体力劳动者家庭，后来却成了现代数学之父。
早期激励这种模式，”这位教授说。
但是父母应该给予怎样一种激励呢？大量证据表明，家长的压力常会导致孩子疲劳厌倦而不是成为天才。
有一项研究认为有两种家庭教育的风格：支持型和激励型。
支持型的家长会尽全力帮助孩子发展兴趣爱好，赞扬其获得的成就，不管它多么微小。
表现最好的孩子的父母结合了支持和激励型的教育。
这些孩子显示了相当不错的快乐感，在学习过程中反应也很敏捷。
给予激励但缺乏支持的父母，他们的孩子很可能会疲劳厌倦。
这些孩子确实能长时间努力，但他们在学习过程中的敏捷程度和快乐感大大低于生活在能兼顾激励和支持的家庭环境中的孩子。
另一关键因素是父母需要与孩子进行适当的交谈。
