Unit2Iron deficiency is very common among women in general, affecting one in four female teenagers and one in five women aged 18 to 45, respectively. But the ratio is even greater among active women, affecting up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes. This means, Lyle says, that "too many women ignore the amount of iron they take in";. Women of child-bearing age are at greatest risk, since their monthly bleeding is a major source of iron loss. Plus, many health-conscious women increase their risk by rejecting red meat, which contains the most easily absorbed form of iron. And because women often restrict their diet in an effort to control weight, they may not consume enough iron-rich food, and are liable to experience a deficiencyUnit3Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture. For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school's philosophies and outlook. The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in workshops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions. Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts. The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.Unit4The Statue of LibertyIn the mid-1870s, French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was working on an enormous project called Liberty Enlightening the World, a monument celebrating US independence and the France-America alliance. At the same time, he was in love with a woman whom he had met in Canada. His mother could not approve of her son's affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue's right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife's arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.Unit6Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the earth's crust move, the stresses between plates,how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy. However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.Unit7Indeed,if there’sone thing that distinguishes the gate style,if is his time management skills.conservation of time .energy ,and focus are his hallmaks.he moves between playing the role of international spokesman for the age of technology and planning business stategy back at headquarters,getting the maximum amount of work possible out of every minute.always punctual and always in high gear,he typically leaves only the tiniset cracks in the day for eating,talking to friends or recreation.the joke arround microsoft is that his receptionist is the hardest working person in the word.in fact ,he has several receptionists.he probably needs one just to arrange his travel plans and visas to foreign countries.Unit8What are the other implications of cloning for society?The gravest concern isn't really cloning itself, but genetic engineering —the deliberate altering of genes to create human beings according to certain requirements. Specifically, some experts are concerned about the creation of a new (and disrespected) social class: "the clones". One expert believes the situation could be comparable to what occurred in the 16th century, when Europeans puzzled over how to classify the unfamiliar inhabitants of the Americas, and endlessly debated whether or not they were humans.Unit9Romantic love has no bearing on this process, say these lawyers, who consider prenups to be business agreements. Their justification: some 50 percent of all marriages in the United States end up on the trash heap.Moreover, the discussions for a prenuptial agreement, which involve laying bare all one's finances, sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage. "It sheds light on issues which could later widen and result in divorce," said a lawyer.2单元缺铁是很常见的一般妇女，影响到18至45岁的5名妇女，分别有四分之一的女青年和1。

新视野大学英语读写教程 unit3 课文与单词（New horizons College English reading and writing course Unit3 text and words）一颗善良的心比我意识到的还要多，爸爸帮助我保持了平衡。

在我成长的过程中，我很尴尬地被人看见和我父亲在一起。

他严重残废，个子很矮，当我们走在一起，他的手在我的手臂上保持平衡时，人们会盯着我看。

我会在不必要的注意力中挣扎。

如果他注意到或感到烦恼，他从不泄露。

很难协调我们的步骤——他停滞不前，我不耐烦——正因为如此，我们一边走一边不说什么。

但当我们出发时，他总是说：“你定了速度。

”。

我会尽量适应你的。

”我们通常步行去或从他去上班的地铁上去。

尽管天气恶劣，他还是去上班了。

他几乎从不错过一天，即使别人不能，他也会去办公室。

骄傲的事。

当雪或冰在地上时，即使有人帮助，他也不可能走路。

在这样的时刻，我或我的姐妹们把他拉过布鲁克林区，N.Y.的街道上，在地铁出入口与钢轮的婴儿车。

一到那儿，他就抓住扶手，一直走到较低的台阶上，温暖的隧道空气没有结冰。

在曼哈顿，地铁站是他办公楼的地下室，在我们回家的路上，在布鲁克林区遇到他后，他就不必再出去了。

当我想到这件事时，我惊讶地发现，一个成年男子要承受这样的羞辱和压力，必须有多大的勇气。

他是如何做到这一点的，没有怨恨和抱怨。

他从不把自己说成是一个可怜的对象，也没有嫉妒过那些幸运或能干的人。

他在别人身上寻找的是一颗“善良的心”，如果他找到了一个，主人对他来说已经足够好了。

现在我长大了，我相信这是判断人的适当标准，尽管我还不知道什么是“好心肠”。

但我知道我自己没有时间。

由于无法参加许多活动，我父亲仍然试图以某种方式参与。

当一个当地棒球队发现自己没有教练时，他就坚持下去。

他是一个见多识广的棒球迷，他过去常带我地埃比茨棒球场观看布鲁克林道奇队的比赛。

他喜欢去参加舞会和聚会，在那里他可以坐着看。

Unit 1 Text A Never, ever give up!3个人经历、教育机会、个人困境，这些都不能阻挡一个全力以赴追求成功的、有着坚强意志的人。

任务再苦，准备再长，难度再大，都不能让他放弃自己的追求。

就以本时代最有学问的两位科学家——阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦和托马斯·爱迪生为例，他们都曾面临巨大的障碍和极端的批评，都曾被说成“不开窍”，被老师当成笨蛋而放弃。

托马斯·爱迪生还曾逃学，因为老师嫌他问的问题太多而经常鞭打他。

爱因斯坦一直到将近9岁才能流利地说话，学习成绩太差，有些人认为他都已经学不好了。

然而，这两个男孩的父母都相信他们。

他们坚持不懈地每天和儿子一起努力，孩子们也了解到，要想成功，就绝不要怕付出长期而艰辛的努力。

最终，爱因斯坦和爱迪生都摆脱了童年的困扰，进而作出了造福当今全世界的伟大发现。

5与丘吉尔和林肯一样，只有那些“执著地追求成功”的人，那些保持始终如一的精神意志的人，才会通过自身的努力，获得成功。

许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家都有同样的经历。

他们之所以能取得这样的成就，是因为他们拥有强烈的意愿，不懈地准备、奋斗，并保持对成功的激情。

他们取得了成功，并不是因为成功很容易，而是因为他们拥有克服重重障碍的意志，为了追求目标而勤奋努力。

7很多人只是嘴上说他们想要什么东西，但并不真正地付出大量努力去实现。

很多人因为害怕失败而不敢全心尝试。

而成功的秘诀在于内心燃烧的欲望——一种坚定不移的意志和专注力——从而激发行动的决心，即使疲惫，即使失败，也会继续准备，继续前进。

正如一句箴言所说：“你摔倒了多少次并不要紧；你能多少次重新站起来对成功才至关重要！”3Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas —none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.5 Just like Churchill and Lincoln, only those who "keep their eyes on the prize", those who upholda committed and focused will and spirit, will find their endeavors successful. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have had the same experience. They achieved prosperity because they possessed a fierce will to keep preparing and working and a passion to succeed. They attained success, not because it was easy, but because they had the will to overcome profound obstacles and to work diligently in the pursuit of their goals.7 Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expend the substantial effort required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire —a robust, fierce will and focus — that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes: "It's not how many times you fall down that matters. It's how many times you get back up that makes success!"Text A Audrey Hepburn — A true angel in this world4这个日后将成为世界上最具魅力女星的小女孩刚开始只是一个无名难民，直面生命中的恐惧和脆弱。

新视野大学英语3背诵段落教材是教师开展和组织课堂教学活动的主要工具，是连接教师教和学生学的主要媒介下面是店铺带来的新视野大学英语3背诵段落，欢迎阅读!新视野大学英语3背诵段落精选Unit1My father and Jimmy were inseparable. They ate breakfast together and on weekdays drove off to the navy shipping center every morning where they both worked-Jimmy unloaded color-coded boxes. At night after dinner, they would talk and play games late into the evening. They even whistled the same tunes.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。

So when my father died of a heart attack in 1991, Jimmy was a wreck, beneath his careful disguise. He was simply in disbelief. Usually veryagreeable, he now quit speaking altogether and no amount of words could penetrate the vacant expression he wore on his face. I hired someone to live with him and drive him to work, but no matter how much I tried to make things stay the same, even Jimmy grasped that the world he’d known was gone. One day I asked, ”You miss Dad, don’t you?” His lips quivered and then he asked, “What do you think, Margaret? He was my best friend.” Our tears began flow.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。

Unit 1 The way to success *Paragraph 7-8 Page 5* Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not expand the substantial effort, required to achieve it. Many people let the threat of failure stop them from trying with all of their heart. The secret of success is based upon a burning inward desire - a robust, fierce will and focus - that fuels the determination to act, to keep preparing, to keep going even when we are tired and fail. As a wise saying goes:”It’s not how many times you fail down that matters.It’s how many times you get back up that makes success!”许多人只是说他们想要什么，但他们并没有扩大实质性的努力。

许多人让失败的威胁阻止了他们全身心的尝试。

成功的秘诀是建立在燃烧的内在欲望的基础上——一种坚定的、强烈的意志和专注，它能激发我们行动的决心，使我们做好准备，即使在我们疲倦和失败的时候也能坚持下去。

常言道：“重要的不是你失败了多少次，而是你成功了多少次。

！“Focus on becoming more knowledgeable. Focus on gradual, consistent progress. Maintain the strong will to keep going - even when you are tired and want to slack or the odds seem too large. “Keep your eyes on the prize!””Where there’s a will, there’s a way!”With thehard work, determination, dedication and preparation, you can transcend any handicap, accomplish any feat, and achieve success!专注于变得更有见识。

Will you be a worker or a laborer?你想做工作者还是劳役者？To be truly happy, a person must feel both free andimportant. People are never happy if they feel compelled by society to do work they do not enjoy, orif what they do enjoy is ignored by society a s havingno value or importance. In a society where slavery inthe strict sense has been abolished, the social indications around work, the value of work and thesalary, have degraded many laborers into modernslaves - "wage slaves".一个人要想真正快乐，必须觉得自己既自由又重要。

如果觉得自己是受社会逼迫而做自己不喜欢的工作，或者自己喜欢的工作被认为没价值或不重要而遭社会忽视，那他绝不会快乐。

在一个奴隶制度严格说来已经被废除的社会里，工作的社会含义、工作的价值和薪水，已经把许多劳役者降格为现代奴隶——“薪奴”。

People are considered laborers if their job has an adverse effect on them, yet they feelcompelled to continue working by the necessity of conforming to societal expectations andearning the reve nue to support themselves and their families. The polar opposite of labor is play.When we play a game, we enjoy what we are doing, but it is a purely private pastime; societydoes not care when or whether we play.如果人们的工作对自己有负面的影响，但为了遵从社会的期望或者挣钱养家糊口而被迫必须继续工作，那么他们就被认为是劳役者。

Unit2 p10If iron levels are low ,talk with a physician to see if the deficiency should be corrected by modifying your diet or by talking supplements. In general,it’s better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings. Supplements may produce a feeling of wanting to throw up,and may be poisonous in some cases. The best sources of iron, and the only sources of the form of iron most readily absorbed by the body ,are meat, chicken,and fish. Good sources of other forms of iron include dates, beans,and some leafy green vegetables.Unit3 p14Commitment among parents is a key ingredient in the Hyde mixture. For the student to gain admission, parents also must agree to accept and demonstrate the school's philosophies and outlook. The parents agree in writing to meet monthly in one of 20 regional groups, go to a yearly three-day regional retreat, and spend at least three times a year in workshops, discussion groups and seminars at Bath. Parents of Maine students have an attendance rate of 95% in the many sessions. Joe and Malcolm Gauld both say children tend to do their utmost when they see their parents making similar efforts. The biggest obstacle for many parents, they say, is to realize their own weaknesses.Unit4 p9;10American GothicGrant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse. He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention. Wood liked to paint faces he knew well. For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man. For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan. He stretched the models' necks a bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait.Unit5 p8Some unknown interval of time passes before her eyes open again, only this time there is no response in them, just a blank stare. Without warning, her shallow breathing stops, and within a few moments, the faint pulse is also gone. One single tear flows from her left eye, across the cheek and down onto the pillow. I begin to cry quietly. There is a swell of emotion within me for this stranger who so quickly came into and went from my life. Her suffering is done, yet so is the life. Slowly, still holding her hand, I become aware that I do not mind this emotional battle(战役), that in fact, it was a privilege she has allowed me, and I would do it again, gladly. Mrs. Clark spared her family an episode(一个片段，插曲) that perhaps they were not equipped to handle and instead shared it with me. She had not wanted to have her family see her die, yet she did not want to die alone. No one should die alone, and I am glad I was there for her.Although scientists still cannot predict earthquakes, they are learning a great deal about how the large plates in the earth's crust move, the stresses between plates, how earthquakes work, and the general probability that a given place will have an earthquake. Someday soon it may actually become possible to predict earthquakes with accuracy. However, even if prediction becomes possible, people who live in areas where earthquakes are a common occurrence will still have to do their best to prevent disasters by building structures that are resistant to ground movement and by being personally prepared. These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes. Education concerning how to survive an earthquake should be a major emphasis for all government programs and earthquake-related research projects.Unit8 p1;2At first it was just plain surprising. Word that scientists succeeded in cloningan adult mammal an achievement long thought impossible—caught the imagination of everyone. The laboratory process that produced Dolly, an unr emarkable-looking sheep, theoretically would work for humans as well. A world with h uman clones was suddenly within reach. It was science fiction coming to life.In the wake of this announcement, governments hurried to draft guidelines for the unkn own, a future filled with incredible possibilities. President Clinton ordered a national c ommission to study the legal and moral implications of cloning. Leaders in Europe, whe re most nations already prohibit human cloning, began examining the moral implica tions of cloning other species.Prenuptial agreements —or "prenups" —are designed to address these problems as they arise. Prenups are negotiated by lawyers for the prospective spouses, and signed before a minister binds them in marriage. They have been gaining in acceptance in the United States since the early 1980s, when more states began passing laws that affected the division of financial assets in a divorce. The laws are based either on "community property" (split evenly) or on "reasonable distribution" (whatever a judge thinks is "fair").。
