第三本书：A篇6-7段落Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines “the good”as “those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions.” The friendship between good men, based on virtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. All human beings are bonded together in a community of share reason. Therefore, in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate. It is virtue that creates and preserves true friendship.Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components：Friends must enjoy each other’s company；they must be useful to one anther ;and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together , as they recognize each other’s moral excellence .To perceive a friend, therefore, is to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. Through networks of such virtuous friends, we can develop a shared idea of the good and pursue it together. Friendship of this kind is permanent, because in it are united all the attributes that friends ought to possess.B篇5-6段落The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. The light showed a pale, square-jawed face with keen eyes, and a little white scar near his right eyebrow.“Twenty years ago tonight,” said the man, “I dined here with Jimmy Wells, my best chum and the finest chap in the world. He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty then. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we should meet here again exactly twenty years from that what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”I’ll borrow whichever tent you are not using now (你们现在不用的任何一顶帐篷).Free movie tickets will be given to whoever come first(最早来的人们).We agreed to accept whichever condition our captain thought was the best (任何我们队长认为最佳的条件).Friends are forever comforts. No matter where I go(无论我走到哪里)their care follows.It is neither possible nor sensible for parents to satisfy whatever wishes their child expresses(孩子表达的任何愿望).No matter how disappointed you may feel about the surroundings (不管你对环境有多么失望),you’re supposed to complain less and work more.Respect for the law is the foundation of a civilized society. Whoever breaks it(不管谁触犯法律) will be punished.David is in the habit of knitting his brows whenever he concentrates on a problem(每当他集中精力思考问题的时候).Unit Two A篇3-4段落Given the busy nature of our lives, it’s to be appreciated that we even find the time to indulge in matters of the heart. But at the same time I wonder if we even understand its true depth. I remember having countless crushes while in school. My math teacher, our neighbour’s son, my best friend’s brother and lots of others whom I fancied for the colour of their eyes, the shape of their moustaches or just the way they walked. Harmless puppy loves that are as brief as soap bubbles. I can laugh about all those silly and adventurous thoughts and actsnow but at that time nothing could be more serious an affair for me. Then came the stage of real relationships.Being in an all girls’school I hardly had the opportunity to interact with members of the opposite gender. Socials between our school and the boys’ college, therefore, would be awaited anxiously. Those three hours of unhesitant attention by a group of well-groomed young gentlemen provided us with enough content to talk and feel excited about for the next four weeks.B篇1-3段落My husband Paul’s hands had a fine, firm feeling: warm, never cold, never moist, their slight pressure always reassuring. And whenever those hands sought mine in the final days of his life, he pressed them both together around one of my hands.It was during that time, as I sat by his bed, that I tried to memorize his hands. They were twice as long as mine and half a hand wider. His fingers did not get thinner; they were long and square, laced with fine veins all the way to the tips. His nails squared off the ends of his fingers, with clearly defined white edges. He had always taken great care to keep them neat. They were not tough hands; nor soft, either. They were the hands of a college professor whose tools were chalk and red pens.I wondered if his students had difficult reading his handwriting. I had grown used to it the year we were apart –engaged to be married, but separated-so he could pursue a master’s degree at Bradley University, 800 miles away from our Pennsylvania hometown.(1)Sitting on the stairs was (楼梯上坐着)a dark-haired girl. (2)Over the wall came(墙那边飞过来了)a shower of stones. (3)Round the corner was(拐角那儿)a policeman on the beat.(4)Then finally came (终于找到了)the graduation ceremony we had been looking forward to.(5)Under the table was lying(桌子地下着)a half-conscious young man. (6)On the top of the hill stood(山顶矗立着)the castle in all its grace.Unit Three A篇2-3段落These facts challenge many of the priorities we have set ourselves both as societies and as individuals. The truth is that we are in a situation previously unknown to man. When most people exist near the breadline, material progress does indeed make them happier. People in the rich world(above, say, 20000 a head per year) are happier than people in poorer countries, and people in poor countries do become happier as they become richer. But when material discomfort has been banished, extra income becomes much less important than our relationships with each other: with family, with friends and in the community. The danger is that we sacrifice relationships too much in pursuit of higher income.The desire to be happy is central to our nature. We all want a society in which people are as happy as possible and in which each person’s happiness counts equally. That should be the philosophy for our age, the guide for public policy and for individual action. And it should come to replace the intense individualism which has failed to make us happier.B篇4-5段落There is a difference between material happiness, which implies having all the basic or extravagant comforts necessary to live a life, and spiritual happiness, which implies something else altogether. I had a friend whose philosophy was this:No matter how much money you make, you always want more. So if you make 25000 a year, you believe that if you just made 50000 you would be happy. But then you begin to make 50000. At that point you believe that if you just made 100000 you would be happy, and so on throughout life. This pattern is true whether you make 25000 or 10000000 a year, because as you earn more money you acquire more expensive tastes. It seems to me that you might as well learn to be happy on 25000 a year, figure out an easy way to earn it and then have the rest of your time free to do what you want.Your picture is much more beautiful.(你的画漂亮多了)If only I could do half as well as you(如果我能做得有你一半好就好了)The publishing house has produced twice as many books as it did last year.(出版社已经发行了比去年多一倍的书籍)We had to do more work for less money.(我们不得不做更多的工作，却只得到更少的钱) While people are richer in material wealth, their spiritual life is poorer.(人们物质生活富裕多了，精神生活却贫乏了)Unit Four A篇3-4段落Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One’s thoughts must be directed to the future and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy: one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are, and one’s mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not to be true.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigour from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves,but human being, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.B篇1-4段落Less than three months ago, at platform hearings in Salt Lake City, I asked the Republican Party to break the silence which has been kept over the issue of HIV/AIDS. I have come tonight to bring our silence to an end.I bear a message of challenge, not self-congratulation. I want your attention, not your applause.I would never have asked to be HIV-positive. But I believe that in all things there is a good purpose, and so I stand before you, and before the nation, gladly.The reality of AIDS is brutally clear. Two hundred thousand Americans are dead or dying; a million more are infected. Worldwide, 40 million, 60 million, or a hundred million infections will be counted in the coming few years.In the context of an election year, I ask you - - here, in this great hall, or listening in the quiet of your home—to recognize that the AIDS virus is not a political creature. It does not care whether you are Democrat or Republican. It does not as whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or ole.It is disappointing(令人失望) to see so many university students indulging themselves in computer games.I find it useless(我觉得没用) trying to explain to him again—He’s not interested at all.It is not possible(不可能) to write a book or make a film that suits every indibidual.They kept it a quiet(她们一直保密)that the President was dead.It is still not clear(仍然不明朗) how far the globalization process will go.。
