21世纪大学英语读写教程第三册UNIT1Unit 1Text APre-reading Activities1. How many of these idioms do you know? If any of them are unfamiliar to you, hypothesize about what they might mean. Then as you listen to the passage, a) circle the idioms you hear in the dialogue, and b) check to make sure your hypotheses are correct.love at first sight fall in love [with sb.] make a pass at sb. puppy love have a crush on sb. flirt with sb. lovebirds be head over heels in love sweep sb. off his/her feet2. Do you remember the first time you fell in love? Did you let the person know how you felt? Did you learn anything from the experience, or was it just a silly incident?How I Got Smart Steve BrodyA mon misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be ateacher anyway? I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated pulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting. But in my sophomore year, something beautiful and exciting happened. Cupid aimed his arrow and struck me right in the heart. All at once, I enjoyed going to school, if only to gaze at the lovely face in English II. My princess sat near the pencil sharpener, and that year I ground up enough pencils to fuel a campfire. Alas, Debbie was far beyond my wildest dreams. We were separated not only by five rows of desks, but by about 50 I.Q. points. She was the top student in English II, the apple of Mrs. Larrivee's eye. Occasionally, Debbie would catch me staring at her, and she would flash a smile that radiated intelligence and quickened my heartbeat. It was a smile that signaled hope and made me temporarily forget the intellectual gulf that separated us. I schemed desperately to bridge that gulf. And one day, as I was passing the supermarket, an idea came to me.A sign in the window announced that the store was offering the first volume of a set of encyclopedias at the special price of 29 cents. The remaining volumes would cost $2.49 each. I purchased Volume I —Aardvark to Asteroid — and began my venture into the world of knowledge. I would henceforth bee a seeker of facts. I would bee Chief Brain in English II and sweep my princess off her feet with a surge of erudition. Ihad it all planned. My first opportunity came one day in the cafeteria line. I looked behind me and thereshe was. "Hi," she said. After a pause, I wet my lips and said, "Know where anchovies e from?" She seemed surprised. "No, I don't." I breathed a sigh of relief. "The anchovy lives in salt water and is rarely foundin fresh water." I had to talk fast, so that I could get all the facts in before we reached the cash register. "Fishermen catch anchovies in the Mediterranean Sea and along the Atlantic coast near Spain and Portugal." "How fascinating," said Debbie, shaking her head in disbelief. It was obvious that I had made quite an impression. A few days later, during a fire drill, I casually went up to her and asked, "Ever been to the Aleutian Islands?" "Never have," she replied. "Might be a nice place to visit, but I certainly wouldn't want to live there," I said. "Why not?" said Debbie, playing right into my hands. "Well, the climate is forbidding. There are no trees on anyof the 100 or more islands in the group. The ground is rocky and very little plant life can grow on it." "I don't think I'd even care to visit," she said. Thefire drill was over and we began to the building, so I had to step it up to get the natives in. "The Aleuts are short and sturdy and have dark skin and black hair. They live on fish, and they trap blue foxes and seals for their valuable fur." Debbie's eyes widened in amazement. One day I was browsing through the library.I spotted Debbie sitting at a table, absorbed in a crossword puzzle. She was frowning, apparently stumped on a word. I leaned over and asked if I could help."Four-letter word for Oriental female servant," Debbie said. "Try amah," I said, quick as a flash. Debbiefilled in the blanks, then turned to stare at me in amazement. "I don't believe it," she said. "I justdon't believe it." And so it went, that glorious, joyous, romantic sophomore year. Debbie seemed torelish our little conversations and hung on my every word. Naturally, the more I read, the more my confidence grew. In the classroom, too, I wasgradually making my presence felt. One day, during a discussion of Coleridge's "The Ancient Mariner", we came across the word albatross. "Can anyone tell us what an albatross is?" asked Mrs. Larrivee. My hand shot up. "The albatross is a large bird that lives mostly in the ocean regions below the equator, but may be found in the north Pacific as well. The albatross measures as long as four feet and has the greatest wingspread of any bird. It feeds on fish and shellfish. The albatross has an enormous appetite, and when it's full it has trouble getting into the air again." There was a long silence in the room. Mrs. Larrivee couldn't quite believe what she had just heard. I sneaked alook at Debbie and gave her a big wink. She beamed proudly and winked back. What I failed to perceive was that Debbie all this while was going steady with a junior from a neighboring school — a basketballplayer with a C+ average. The revelation hit me hard, and for a while I felt like forgetting everything Ihad learned. I had saved enough money to buy Volume II — Asthma to Bullfinch — but was strongly tempted to invest in a basketball instead. I felt not only hurt,but betrayed. Like Agamemnon, but with less drastic consequences, thank God. In time I recovered from my wounds. The next year Debbie moved from the neighborhood and transferred to another school. Soon she became no more than a memory. Although theoriginal incentive was gone, I continued poring over the encyclopedias, as well as an increasing number of other books. Having tasted of the wine of knowledge, I could not now alter my course. For:"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing: Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring."So wrote Alexander Pope, Volume XIV — Paprika to Pterodactyl.

1 A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus. On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion. I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.2 Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence. They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience. Consequently, they are defenseless (incapable of fending for themselves) and blameless (incapable of real sin). That's why we grant them special protection. In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands. And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.3 I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused —a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love — then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information. It is more important to pave the way for children's desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.4 What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future. I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step. I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.My wish, of course, is naive. One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail. Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media — the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive — and glorified in our praise of possessions. In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.5 America can be a strange experience for a foreigner. My wife and I arrived in the United States in January after seven years overseas — four in France, three in Poland. From the jumble of first impressions, we compiled an A-to-Z explanation of why America can be such a foreign country to those who arrive here from Europe.I should explain at the outset that I am from Britain, but my Florida-born wife Lisa is as American as apple pie. In our list, however, A doesn't stand for apple pie. It stands for: Ambition. In the Old World, people are taught to hide it. Here it's quite proper to announce that you're after the boss's job or want to make a million dollars by the age of 30.6 A heart breaks.Someone's pain shatters the confines of her body, leaking out in tears, exploding in cries, defying all efforts to soothe the despair. Sleep offers no escape from the nightmare of awakening. And morning brings only the irreversibility of loss.Every 23 minutes.A dream ends.Someone's future blurs and goes blank as anticipation fades into nothingness. The phone will not ring, the car will not pullup to the house. The weight of tomorrow becomes unbearable ina world in which all promises have been broken by force.7 Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style. It used to be a mark of class if a lady or a gentleman sang a little, painted a little, played the violin a little. You didn't have to be good at it; the point was to be fortunate enough to have the leisure time for such pursuits. But in today's competitive world we have to be "experts" even in our hobbies.8 When you’re eating among other people, you don’t raise your voice; it’s just one example of the unwritten rules we live by. When you consider it, you recognize that those rules probably govern our lives on a more absolute basis than the ones you could find if you looked in the law books. The customs that govern us are what make a civilization. There would be chaos without them, and yet it’s not at all clear why ---even in our disintegrating society ---we obey them.How many times have you stopped at a red light late at night? You can see in all directions; there’s no one else around --- no headligh ts, no police cruiser idling behind you . You’re tired and in a hurry. But you wait for the light to change. Is it for safety’s sake? No; you can see that there would be no accident if you drove on. Is it to avoid getting arrested? No;you are alone; there’s no one to catch you. Still, you sit and wait.。
