美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。

但对许多人，尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们，美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高，但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的，我不清楚。

不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右，人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺，”他回答说。

“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。

我走进屋子，心里有点不快。

没错，眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢？等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说。

“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪，”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天轻扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。

我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生，块下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说。

“等冬天到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢？自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

“我想当学徒，”他说。

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

全新版大学英语综合教程答案~~最最最最新版，符合书本篇章哦~~来源：江湉的日志Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/ContrastChinese Americans 1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to do something, or teach by holding teach children that they shouldrely on themselves for solutionshis hand to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de-veloping skills at an early age,believing creativity can bepromoted over time put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up later1.

You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit 8Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking5)tragedies8)grim2)evil6)counterpart9)flocks; fed on3)brooding;7)are10)vegetationhatched complaining/co-11)patches4)migrant mplain12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowedunnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words Chinese meaningage-old古老的air force空军daughter-in-law儿老婆first-rate一流的greenhouse温室half brother同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟ice-cream冰淇淋lifelike传神的light year光年salesperson售货员；销售员self-centered以自己为中心的，自私的threefold三倍overuse过分使用stone-still石头似的一动不动worldwide全球范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people5)successful spacewalk2)heart-breaking news6)peace-loving people3)newly-built database7)need-based scholarships4)well-fed kids8)color-blind peopleIII.
