21世纪大学实用英语(综合教程)第一册Unit1-6课文翻译与课后答案21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第一册）Unit1~6课文翻译及课后答案第一单元Text A 大学——我一生中的转折点佚名作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。

我害怕独自一人在外，因为我是第一次远离家人。

这里周围都是我不认识的人，而他们也不认识我。

我得和他们交朋友，或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。

他们比我更聪明吗？我跟得上他们吗？他们会接受我吗？我很快就认识到，我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。

如果我要在学业上取得成功，我就必须制定一份学习计划。

我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。

我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉，什么时候吃什么，什么时候喝什么，对什么人表示友好。

这些问题我都得自己回答。

开始时，生活有点艰难。

我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。

我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。

我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。

然而不久，我就控制住了自己的生活。

我做到了按时上课，完成并交上了第一批作业，而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。

此外，我还交了一些朋友，跟他们在一起我感到很自在，我能把我担心的事告诉他们。

我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。

结果，我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。

我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。

凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定，这种感觉很好。

我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。

我未来的生活将会怎样呢？在人生的这一阶段，我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方，我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。

但我知道，我能应对未来，因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍：我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。
