Unit 1这样,我的履历上没有留下犯罪的记录。
但当时最令人震惊的,是那些显然导致宣布我无罪的证据。
我讲话的口音“表明我受过良好教养”,到庭的有体面的中产阶级的双亲,有可靠的证人,还有,我显然请得起一名很好的律师。
从对我指控的这种捕风捉影的做法来看,我肯定,如果我出身在另一种背景的家庭里,并且真的是失了业的话,我完全可能被判有罪。
当我的律师要求赔偿诉讼费时,他公然把辩护的证据建立在我“学业优异”这一事实上。
Unit 2毫无疑问,这里正发生着什么事儿。
这事儿比争抢食物还乱,比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜还要重要。
哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心,重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式,我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年所做的事。
鲁宾·马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰激凌改名为哈根达斯,在不变换产品的情况下提高了价格,我的孩子们正在做着鲁宾·马修斯所做过的事。
爱德华·詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药,从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗,我的孩子们正做着爱德华·詹纳所做过的事。
他不去研究得了天花的患者,而是去研究接触天花却从未染上此病的人。
他发现他们都患了一种类似天花但比较轻微的疾病:牛痘;这使得他们对致命的天花得以免疫。
Unit 3这些在我眼前成长、变化的人,便是我要当教师的真正原因。
当一名教师意味着是创造的见证人,他目睹人体开始呼吸,开始了生命“提升了”,不再教书了,也许会给我带来金钱和权力。
可是我现在也有钱c我拿了薪金去做自己乐意做的事:读书、交谈、提问,比如问:“做个富翁有什么意思呢?”我现在还有权呢。
我有权启迪,有权激发才智9有权开出书目,有权指矽支迷津。
还有其他什么权力更值得考虑呢?但教书还会带来金钱和权力以外的东西:那便是爱。
不仅是爱学习、爱书本、爱思想,而且还有老师对出类拔萃的学生的爱。
这样的学生走进了老师的生活,自己也开始成长了。
爱这个字也许用得不恰当:说是魔力可能更为贴切。
我教书,是因为与开始戚长的学生朝夕相处,我有时感到自己也和他们一起开始成长了。

Writing Three Thank-You LettersAlex Haley1 It was 1943, duringWorld War II, and I was a young U. S. coastgu ardsma n. My ship, the USS Murzim, had been under way for several days. Most of her holds contain ed thousan ds of cartons of cannedor dried foods. The other holds were loadedwith five-hundred-pound bombs packeddelicat ely in paddedracks. Our destina tion was a big base on the islandof Tulagiin the South Pacific.写三封感谢信亚利克斯·黑利那是在二战期间的1943年,我是个年轻的美国海岸警卫队队员。
我们的船,美国军舰军市一号已出海多日。
多数船舱装着成千上万箱罐装或风干的食品。
其余的船舱装着不少五百磅重的炸弹,都小心翼翼地放在垫过的架子上。
我们的目的地是南太平洋图拉吉岛上一个规模很大的基地。
2 I was one of the Murzim's several cooks and, quite the same as for folk ashore,this Thanksg ivingmorning had seen us busilyprepari ng a traditi onal dinnerfeaturi ng roast turkey.我是军市一号上的一个厨师,跟岸上的人一样,那个感恩节的上午,我们忙着在准备一道以烤火鸡为主的传统菜肴。
Unit1 The Dinner Party 晚宴那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
Unit2 Lessons from Jefferson 杰斐逊的遗训杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以知识为基础的。
他懂得的东西也许比同时代的任何人都要多。
在农业、考古学和医学方面他都是专家。
在人们普遍采用农作物轮作和土壤保持的做法之前一个世纪,他就这样做了。
他还发明了一种比当时任何一种都好的耕犁。
他影响了整个美国的建筑业,他还不断地制造出各种机械装置,使日常生活中需要做的许多工作变得更加容易。
在杰斐逊的众多才能中,有一种是最主要的:他首先是一位优秀的、不知疲倦的作家。
目前正在第一次出版的他的全集将超过五十卷。
他作为一个作家的才能很快便被发现了,所以,当1776年在费城要撰写《独立宣言》的时刻来到时,这一任务便落在了他肩上。
数以百万计的人们读到他写的下列词句都激动不已:“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的:一切人生来就是平等的……”Unit3 My First Job 我的第一份工作在我等着进大学期间,我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告,说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区,有所学校要招聘一名教师。
我因为手头很拮据,同时也想做点有用的事,于是便提出了申请,但在提出申请的同时我也担心,自己一无学位,二无教学经验,得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。
然而,三天之后,却来了一封信,叫我到克罗伊登去面试。
这一路去那儿原来还真麻烦:先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站,再乘十分钟的公共汽车,然后还要至少步行四分之一英里。
1.With my own ears I clearly heard the heart beat of the nuclear bomb.我亲耳清楚地听到原子弹的心脏的跳动。

I learn that learned earnest men earn much by learning.我得知有学问而认真的人靠学问挣很多钱.5. She swears to wear the pearls that appear to be pears.她发誓要戴那些看起来像梨子的珍珠。
6. I nearly fear to tear the tearful girl's test paper.我几乎害怕撕那个泪流满面的女孩的试卷.7. The bold folk fold up the gold and hold it in hand.大胆的人们将黄金折叠起来拿在手里。

U n i t1T e x t A学在哈佛米歇尔•李1.我仍清晰地记得当初我被斯坦福大学提前录取时的场景。
当时我正在车上,收件箱突然弹出了一封电子邮件,告知我已经被梦寐以求的斯坦福大学录取了,我不禁喜极而泣。
接下来的几个月,我一直幻想着自己成为斯坦福“枢机红”一员的情景并等待着他们的正式录取通知书。
2.然而,接下来更多的录取通知书接踵而至,当得知自己还被哈佛大学录取后,我内心的激动之情无以言表。
我面临着一个极其艰难的抉择——斯坦福还是哈佛?3.我决定先实地考察一下这两所学校再做最后选择,没想到的是,我竟然喜欢上了哈佛。
我曾一心想成为斯坦福“枢机红”的一员,所以并没有认真考虑过选择其他大学。
然而我一踏入哈佛校园,便感觉一切正合乎我的心意。
哈佛的校园,哈佛的课堂,哈佛的人,都使我意识到这就是未来四年我唯一想呆的地方。
4.在哈佛入学后,我迫切地渴望开始人生的新篇章,但与此同时,又因身处遥远他乡而感到焦虑不安。
和亲朋好友告别的那一刻,我清醒地意识到即将来临的自主独立将意味着什么。
我不知道未来会怎样,而且担心自己会在这么知名的学府里找不到自己的定位。
5.一个学期后,我不得不说我做了人生中最正确的决定。
我找到了一种归属感,并且在很多方面成为了哈佛的一分子。
6.在短短数月里,如果说我学会了什么的话,那就是明白了大学学习一点都不轻松。
学业课程比以往的都难,但我可以自由选择学习任何我感兴趣的课程领域。
我申请的是医学预科,但一个学期下来,我发现在下一年确定专业之前,我实际上有无数的方向可以选择。
7.课程通常包括:教授主讲、研究生辅讲次要内容以及课外的学生学习小组。
学习小组合作学习对应对哈佛繁重的学习任务起着重要的作用。
如果感到不堪重负,我只需要走下楼去见见我的学监,或者和我的学业导师预约见个面。
8.刚刚过去的12月份是期末考试阶段,排满了各种冗长的综合考试。
但是哈佛读书周停课一周,与高中阶段相比的确是一个很不错的改变。

unit 1 A 我哥哥吉米出生时遇上难产,因为缺氧导致大脑受损。
两年后,我出生了。
从此以后,我的生活便围绕我哥哥转。
伴随我成长的,是“到外面去玩,把你哥哥也带上。
” 不带上他,我是哪里也去不了的。
因此,我怂恿邻居的孩子到我家来,尽情地玩孩子们玩的游戏。
我母亲教吉米学习日常自理,比如刷牙或系皮带什么的。
我父亲宅心仁厚,他的耐心和理解使一家人心贴着心。
我则负责外面的事,找到那些欺负我哥哥的孩子们的父母,告他们的状,为我哥哥讨回公道。
父亲和吉米形影不离。
他们一道吃早饭,平时每天早上一道开车去海军航运中心,他们都在那里工作,吉米在那搬卸标有彩色代号的箱子。
晚饭后,他们一道交谈,玩游戏,直到深夜。
他们甚至用口哨吹相同的曲调。
所以,父亲 1991 年因心脏病去世时,吉米几乎崩溃了,尽管他尽量不表现出来。
他就是不能相信父亲去世这一事实。
通常,他是一个令人愉快的人,现在却一言不发,无论说多少话都不能透过他木然的脸部表情了解他的心事。
我雇了一个人和他住在一起,开车送他去上班。
然而,不管我怎么努力地维持原状,吉米还是认为他熟悉的世界已经消失了。
有一天,我问他:“你是不是想念爸爸?” 他的嘴唇颤抖了几下,然后问我:“你怎么看,玛格丽特?他是我最好的朋友。
” 接着,我俩都流下了眼泪。
六个月后,母亲因肺癌去世,剩下我一人来照顾吉米。
吉米不能马上适应去上班时没有父亲陪着,因此搬来纽约和我一起住了一段时间。
我走到哪里他就跟到哪里,他好像适应得很好。
但吉米依然想住在我父母的房子里,继续干他原来的工作。
我答应把他送回去。
此事最后做成了。
如今,他在那里生活了 11 年,在许多人的照料下,同时依靠自己生活得有声有色。
他已成了邻里间不可或缺的人物。
如果你有邮件要收,或有狗要遛,他就是你所要的人。
当然,母亲的话没错:可以有一个家,既能容纳他的缺陷又能装下我的雄心。
事实上,关照像吉米这样一个深爱又感激我的人,更加丰富了我的生活,其他任何东西都不能与之相比。
