优等生的奥秘
埃德温·基斯特莎莉·瓦伦丁·基斯特
现在是剑桥大学理科一年级学生的阿历克斯曾在曼彻斯特的中学校
队里踢足球还导演过学校的戏剧演出但他中学毕业时得了五个 A 在布里斯托尔
大学攻读英语的阿曼达在中学里参加过戏剧演出还经常打网球但她仍然得到了
四个A
像他们这样的优等生是如何做到这一点的呢脑子好使并不是唯一的
答案最有天赋的学生未必在考试中取得最好的成绩懂得如何充分利用自己的才
能要重要得多
学习刻苦也不能说明全部问题在这些成绩优秀的学生中有些人投入
的时间其实比那些分数低的同学还少班级中拔尖学生的成功之道在于他们掌握
了一些基本的技巧这些技巧其他人也能很容易地学到根据教育专家和学生们自
己的叙述优等生成功的奥秘有以下几点
1 全神贯注拔尖生不允许他们的学习时间受到干扰一旦书本打开便
电话不接电视不看报纸不读这并不意味着对生活中的重要事情置之不理阿曼达。
第一单元奔向更加光明的未来1下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。
你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。
在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。
妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。
”“等一等，”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。
”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。
至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。
你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。
你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。
在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团一一从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。
你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。
你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。
我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
5有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。
你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。
如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。
选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。
这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。
一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇,她最初学的是艺术史。
随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。
Unit 1 Schooling课文（参考）译文Reading 1马文•科林斯的方法在人群中，马文老师总是会显得很醒目：她有着高高的颧骨，瘦而强健，这都遗传自她那乔克托印第安人血统的曾祖母。
马文老师瘦削而不软弱，就算她没有那么高，在人群中时还是一眼就能识别出来——因为她有着特别的镇静及教养，这些都使她有了一种严谨的风格。
马文很少穿宽松衣服，也决不穿宽大的直筒连衣裙或不正式的短衫及裙子。
马文认为宽大的衣服是对自己、对学生、对教师这一职业的不敬。
从开学的第一天起，马文老师总会告诉设法让孩子们懂得：自尊是一个人最可宝贵的东西。
马文的着装总是无可挑剔，这既是为了自己，也是为了学生们：她爱穿开司米羊毛衫、套装以及人字形花呢服装。
她的衣服都剪裁得很合适，时髦而简单，但她常常会加上一个装饰品：在羊毛衫上配上一条雕有花纹的腰带，或一条有圆形浮雕的锁链，或玻璃纱襟花，抑或是一块用狮头胸针别在口袋上的花边手巾。
在马文老师看来，给人留下独特的印象是很重要的。
她欣然于自己的与众不同，但这有时也会引起一些误解，认为这是自大的表现。
开学的第一天，马文老师对学生们说：“我是一名教师，是一个领路人。
这里没有魔法。
科林斯夫人不是奇迹缔造者。
我不能在水上走路。
我只是爱孩子，并且工作得比很多人都要努力，希望你们也能如此。
”马文•科林斯从不让任何孩子有机会使自己成为一个坏老师。
“一些老师坐在大大的桌子后面，就像一座城堡里的国王，而学生们则像是贫困的佃农——这桌子使老师和同学们分离开来。
而我不会坐在教室前那张大大的桌子后面。
我每天都会在教室里来回走动，我每天都会拥抱你们。
”“以前你们害怕走到老师的办公桌前吗？你们是否觉得如果犯了错，有人会嘲笑你们？”马文并没有留给孩子们回答的时间，她明白，大家此刻都在紧跟着她的思路。
“如果我犯了错，请你们告诉我。
如果老师错了，你们不要不敢告诉她。
我不是神，我的嘴也不是祈祷书。
我们将会一起努力。
你们中有多少人原来害怕向老师提问的？”孩子们立刻举起了手。
大学教育的重要性每一个青少年高中毕业后，都面临这样一个两难的抉择：是继续读书呢，还是开始工作获得独立？对这个年龄的人来说，直接参加工作听起来很有吸引力，因为工作可以让他们获得自由，过上他们想要的生活。
但是做这种匆忙的决定前，让青少年以及他们的父母认识到大学教育的重要性显得尤为重要，让我们来了解一下在当今这个时代大学教育有何重要意义。
1）为迎接竞争做准备在商业和劳动力市场等方面，由于受全球化的影响，国与国之间的分界线几乎不再那么明显了。
为了寻求更好的工作机会，现在人们会毫不犹豫地跨出国门，这在很大程度上增加了劳动力市场上的竞争。
因此，我们这里有来自印度，中国，南美以及其他很多国家和地区的人，他们为了工作而来到美国。
这些人如我们一样也受到过良好的教育，并且技艺高超，才华卓越，雄心勃勃。
我们可以从这样的事实来了解大学教育的重要性：美国青少年必须受到同样良好的教育和培训，获得同样高超的技艺，这样才能与来自世界各国的同行们竞争而赢得工作的机会。
2）提高生活品质研究显示，那些读过大学或有机会接受高等教育的人比那些仅仅读过几年书的人挣钱挣得多。
当然这并不是铁定的，总有很多的例外。
但对于绝大多数人来说，学位越高薪水也就越高，反之亦然。
或许大学教育的最大好处在于，他让人在晚年可以过得更舒适。
3）促进学习在大学，学生有机会求教于各个领域的专家学者，这在中学是不可能的。
学生可以阅读很多书籍，做研究，完成日常的任务安排。
如果学生以积极的态度进入大学，他们就可以在短短的几年内学到很多所学领域的专业知识。
4）促进成长大学不仅仅是获得书本知识，而是要全方位地体验生活。
大学期间，大多数学生是生来第一次远离父母独立生活。
那么他们就不得不独自面对生活的起起落落。
在这个过程中，他们要学到很多的生活经验，这些经验将有助于他们的成长。
5）构建更加美好的社会上过大学的人，或者说受过良好教育的人可能会有更好的家庭，他们在公司里一般是优秀员工，在社会上是模范公民。
Unit 1Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick atus and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose myjoy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course.Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also,after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learninganother language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
Unit 11学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。
虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。
2我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。
两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。
3到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。
然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
4好在这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不。
大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。
由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
5直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。
这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
6网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。
7我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。
但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。
突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。
尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。

When we are writing we are often told to keep our readers in mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten. Can you guess who? Russell Baker surprised himself and everyone else when he discovered the answer.咱们写作时常常被警告，头脑里要有读者，笔者所云必然要符合读者的口味和兴趣。
但有一名读者特别不该忘记。
你能猜出是谁吗？当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和他人都感到大为惊讶。
Writing for MyselfRussell Baker1 The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I've been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.为自己而写拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时期，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的头脑里就断断续续地转着看成家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。

Nuit1学外语学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历。
虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。
我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。
老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。
由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。
两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。
到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语，然而高中时的经历与以前大不相同。
以前老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。
每当有谁回答错了，她会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞着，大喊道：“错！错！错！” 没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。
我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。
然而这种情况没持续多久。
到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。
与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，他们没有哪个带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽人意。
由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。
上了几周课后，我还发现，许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。
我开始产生一种畏惧感。
虽然情况与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。
看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
几年后我有机会参加了远程英语教学课程，情况才有所改善。
它需要一台电脑、电话线和调制解调器。
我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用５到７天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。
网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。
它需要花更多的时间，需要学习者专一、自制，以跟上课程进度。
我尽力达到课程的最低限度的要求，并按时完成作业。
我随时随地都在学习。
不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我听到的生词。
我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。
有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时我想放弃。
但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。
后来有一天我意识到我能够理解碰到的各种问题，更重要的是，我能用英语表达我想说的东西。
尽管我还是常常出错，仍处于继续学习阶段，但我已尝到刻苦学习的甜头。
Unit1阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔：一个致力于和平事业的人一家报纸报道说阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔死于1888年4月13日。
该报纸称他是一个拿死亡做交易的人，因为他研制并销售炸药。
事实上，诺贝尔所经营的生意使他成为一个大富翁。
那家报纸继续报道，介绍了他的年龄、国籍及其他有关他的生意的信息。
然而，这位55岁的人从报纸上只看到了关于他"做死亡生意"的言辞。
阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔放下报纸，一副悲伤的样子。
不，他没有死。
去世的是他的哥哥卢德维格。
那家法国报纸弄错了。
尽管如此，诺贝尔还是忧心忡忡。
世人要以这种方式记住他吗？他极其讨厌对他的这种看法。
他毕生致力于世界和平事业，痛恨战争。
他发明那种炸药是为了挽救生命，为了避免人们因使用其他危险炸药而死亡。
他希望人们把他作为献身于和平事业的人铭记在心。
诺贝尔在最合适不过的时刻发明了他的炸药。
当时，许多国家正开始劈山修路，需要一种安全而爆破力很强的炸药。
诺贝尔正是为了这样的安全用途而研制出了他的那种炸药。
他还想过，倘若所有国家都有同样的威力极大的武器，那么各国会发现，战争是不可能的--任何打仗的国家必定会被毁灭。
世上将不再有战争。
当时，也有许多人是这样想的。
诺贝尔为人们对他的看法感到焦急不安，但他不知怎么做才好。
他要慎重考虑在他逝世后人们如何才能最好地使用他的遗产。
1895年，有个人制定了前往北极考察的计划。
诺贝尔看到了这个计划。
他终于知道该怎样处理自己的钱财了。
他做出决定，在他去世之后，他的遗产应当用来奖励那些在科学、文学和世界和平等领域做出过卓越贡献的人们。
任何国家的人，不分男女，都可获得这种奖励。
阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔于1896年12月10日逝世，享年63岁。
他终身未婚，没有子女。
全世界的人都想知道谁将继承他的遗产。
当人们获悉他的遗产安排时，都非常惊讶：诺贝尔生前决定，每年在物理学、化学、医学、文学和和平领域给予奖励。
最早的诺贝尔奖是在1901年授予的，这种奖励不久便成为人们在上述领域所能获得的最高荣誉。

读写教程 01 课文翻译Unit01TestA奔向更加光明的未来1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。
你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。
在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。
妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。
” “等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。
” 在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。
至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。
你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。
你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。
在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。
你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。
你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。
我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。
你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。
如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。
选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。
这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。
一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。
随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。
大学教育的重要性每一个青少年高中毕业后，都面临这样一个两难的抉择：是继续读书呢，还是开始工作获得独立？对这个年龄的人来说，直接参加工作听起来很有吸引力，因为工作可以让他们获得自由，过上他们想要的生活。
但是做这种匆忙的决定前，让青少年以及他们的父母认识到大学教育的重要性显得尤为重要，让我们来了解一下在当今这个时代大学教育有何重要意义。
1）为迎接竞争做准备在商业和劳动力市场等方面，由于受全球化的影响，国与国之间的分界线几乎不再那么明显了。
为了寻求更好的工作机会，现在人们会毫不犹豫地跨出国门，这在很大程度上增加了劳动力市场上的竞争。
因此，我们这里有来自印度，中国，南美以及其他很多国家和地区的人，他们为了工作而来到美国。
这些人如我们一样也受到过良好的教育，并且技艺高超，才华卓越，雄心勃勃。
我们可以从这样的事实来了解大学教育的重要性：美国青少年必须受到同样良好的教育和培训，获得同样高超的技艺，这样才能与来自世界各国的同行们竞争而赢得工作的机会。
2）提高生活品质研究显示，那些读过大学或有机会接受高等教育的人比那些仅仅读过几年书的人挣钱挣得多。
当然这并不是铁定的，总有很多的例外。
但对于绝大多数人来说，学位越高薪水也就越高，反之亦然。
或许大学教育的最大好处在于，他让人在晚年可以过得更舒适。
3）促进学习在大学，学生有机会求教于各个领域的专家学者，这在中学是不可能的。
学生可以阅读很多书籍，做研究，完成日常的任务安排。
如果学生以积极的态度进入大学，他们就可以在短短的几年内学到很多所学领域的专业知识。
4）促进成长大学不仅仅是获得书本知识，而是要全方位地体验生活。
大学期间，大多数学生是生来第一次远离父母独立生活。
那么他们就不得不独自面对生活的起起落落。
在这个过程中，他们要学到很多的生活经验，这些经验将有助于他们的成长。
5）构建更加美好的社会上过大学的人，或者说受过良好教育的人可能会有更好的家庭，他们在公司里一般是优秀员工，在社会上是模范公民。
比起受教育较少的人或没受过教育的人来说，受过良好教育的人更爱和平，他们更加遵纪守法。
因此，一个大多数人都受过高等教育的社会能够更加高效，顺利地运转。
你可以看到，大学教育不管是对个人还是社会都是如此重要。
除此之外，大学教育可以有很多乐趣。
到了一定的年龄之后，我们都会进入一个固定的生活模式，既要工作又要兼顾家庭。
不过那种生活可以先等等。
青少年应该先利用大学的四年时间来学习，来丰富人生阅历，让自己变得更优秀，同时也可以享受生活。
因此，大胆向前吧，加入大学生活。
祝你一切顺利。
1945年，12岁的鲁宾.厄尔被橱窗里的一件商品吸引住了。
但是高达5美元的价格是他不能支付的，因为5美元几乎是他家一周的生活费。
鲁宾不能向他爸爸马克.厄尔要钱，他爸爸只靠在加拿大纽芬兰岛的罗伯特海湾捕鱼养家活口，而鲁宾的母亲多拉，为了5个孩子的衣食住行也累得弯腰驼背了。
然而，他推开了商店日晒雨淋的门走了进去。
穿着面袋做的衬衣，洗的破了洞的裤子，鲁宾挺直了腰板，骄傲的告诉老板他想要的东西，接着又说，“不过我现在没钱，你能为我留些日子再卖吗？”“我尽量吧。
”老板笑笑说，“这附近的人通常不买那种东西。
应该不会很快卖掉的。
”鲁宾很有礼貌地用手在破旧的帽檐给老板敬了个礼然后出了商店，阳光照在海面层层的涟漪上。
他大踏步地走，心中已经有了计划，他要悄悄地攒这5美元。
侧面街道传来的铁锤声给了鲁宾灵感。
他闻声跑到了一个建筑工地上。
罗伯特海湾的人都从当地的工厂买来粗麻袋装的铁钉自己造房子。
有时这些装铁钉的袋子就乱扔在建筑物周围，鲁宾知道他可以捡这些袋子卖给工厂，工厂回收一个袋子是5美分。
那天他找到两个袋子，他拿着袋子来到杂乱无章的木材厂，把他们卖给了负责包装铁钉的人。
鲁宾手里紧紧拽着这两个5分的硬币一路跑回了两公里以外的家。
他家附近有一个很旧的谷仓，谷仓里住着他家的羊和鸡。
鲁宾找着一个生锈的苏打罐筒，把他的硬币放了进去。
然后他爬进谷仓的阁楼把罐筒藏在一堆散发着香味的甘草里。
鲁宾回家已经是晚饭时间了。
他坐上饭桌时，父亲还坐在厨房的大桌子旁补渔网，而多拉在灶台旁正准备上晚餐。
他看着母亲笑了。
金色的阳光从窗户里照在她披肩的金色长发上，漂亮苗条的母亲是全家人的中心，是她把全家人团结在一起。
她的家务永远也做不完。
她在旧的萝莉踏板缝纫机上为家人缝制衣服，为全家人做饭，烤面包，在菜地种菜，挤羊奶，在洗衣板上搓沾满泥的衣服。
但是她觉得很快乐，家人和家人的幸福是她的头等大事。
每天放学后，鲁宾做完家务就到全城去搜索，去捡装铁钉的麻袋。
当这个只有两个房间的学校放暑假时，鲁宾是最高兴的学生，因为他有更多的时间去完成他的使命了。
整个暑假，除了在家作家务，在菜园除草，浇水，劈柴，打水外，鲁宾一直在完成他的秘密使命。
很快菜园收获了，蔬菜做成了罐头储存起来，学校又开学了。
不久树叶开始掉落。
从海湾刮来了冷风。
鲁宾在到处找袋子。
他常常又冷又饿又累，但是一想到商店橱窗里的东西他就会坚持下来。
有时妈妈会为他：“鲁宾，你刚才去哪儿了，我们在等你吃饭呢。
”“对不起，妈妈，在玩儿呢。
”多拉就会看着他的脸然后要要自己的头，唉，贪玩的男孩。
春天终于来了，鲁宾的情绪也高涨起来。
时间到了！他跑进谷仓，爬进草堆，打开罐筒，倒出硬币就数起来。
他又数了一遍，还差20美分。
在城里还能捡到袋子吗？他必须在天黑前再找到四个袋子卖掉。
鲁宾跑到华尔街。
鲁宾到工厂的时候，夕阳已经西下了，收袋子的人快要关门了。
“先生，请不要关门。
”那人转过身来看见了鲁宾，又脏又汗。
“明天来吧，孩子。
”“求求您了，先生。
我必须现在卖掉这些袋子，求您了！”那人听到了鲁宾的声音有些颤抖，知道他快要哭出来了。
“你为什么急需这点钱呢？”“这是我的秘密。
”那人收了袋子，从他的口袋里摸出四个硬币放在鲁宾的手里。
鲁宾小声说了声谢谢就跑回了家。
然后他手里拽着罐筒去了商店。
“我有钱了。
”他郑重地告诉老板。
老板去橱窗取来了鲁宾的宝贝。
他拭去了上面的灰尘，用棕色的纸轻轻地包起了这件宝贝放到鲁宾手里。
鲁宾一路跑回家，冲过前门。
他母亲正在刷厨房的灶台。
“看这儿，妈妈！看这儿！”，鲁宾跑到她的身边。
他把一个小盒子放到母亲因干活而粗糙的手中。
她怕弄坏了包装纸，所以小心翼翼地打开包装。
一个蓝色天鹅绒的珠宝盒出现了。
多拉揭开盖子，眼泪模糊了她的视线。
一个用烫金字母写着“母亲”的杏形小胸针。
那是1946年的母亲节。
帮助你这学期提高平均绩点的七个策略虽然门门功课都得优并不意味着就一定能成功，但成绩全优也不会有什么坏处。
平均绩点高能助你赚更多的钱，提高学历层次或改变职业道路。
既然要在大学教育上花费几千美元，那就该让这钱花得有所值。
对吧？聪明才智能帮你取得好成绩，但这并不是必要条件。
无休止的勤奋苦学也是如此。
学业成功的关键在于在学习习惯上既有规律又高效。
以下七个策略将有帮助你在最大程度上减少压力及学习时间的同时提升你的平均绩点。
1）去上课我知道这一点太显而易见，但它确实重要。
许多教授讲课时直接照着幻灯片讲，还把幻灯片传到互联网上。
这让人想要逃课，靠下载的讲义来自学。
虽然你很可能可以这样去应对容易的科目，但对于具有挑战性的科目，麻烦就来了。
逃课会让你错过以下一些重要的方面：有助于理解材料的很重要的详细解说。
提问及听取其他同学问答的机会。
特别公告。
加分的机会。
逃课对你声誉的影响也是值得思考的。
对于大多数课程，分数的评定多少还是主观的。
这也就意味着评分者对你的看法影响着你分数的高低。
如果你常常逃课，就会被认为是对教授和对这门课程的不尊重，那他们又怎么会认为你缺课是不得已的，又怎么会把原本B+的成绩提升到A-呢？2）坐前排坐在前排不仅可以增强自信，它还可以使你投入于听讲。
在老师眼中，你就是一个求知若渴的学生，且容易得到教师的关注。
这会给教授留下一个你是好学的学生的印象，你们之间的关系也很可能得到发展。
维持课堂学习的注意力对你来说将更容易，且你更愿意参与而不是被动的听讲。
3）记笔记PPT革命所带来的另一个不幸的副作用是打消了学生记笔记的念头。
记笔记可以提高你的成绩，原因如下：a)它使你不得不去注意听讲，b）抄写的这一动作有助于记忆。
如果你记笔记，你会觉得投入参与更加容易。
同时，你的笔记也会为你提供参考，帮助你把所写下的概念和教授的口头讲解在脑海中联系起来。
这是高效学习的关键。
4）每周复习学生中普遍存在的问题是试图在期中或期末考试之前学习大量的内容。
这几乎是不可能的。
你会发现循序渐进的方法容易得多。
从课程开始，你就至少要每周复习一次你的笔记。
这只会占用你15到20分钟的时间，却又足以让你熟悉学习材料。
通过周复习，你会逐渐记下所学的内容，也能更好地理解一个概念是如何从另一个概念上发展出来的。
坚持不懈地一点点的努力将极大地减少你在考试前所需的学习时间。
5）参与办公室互动讨论教授和助教们每周都会定期安排些时间回答学生们提出的作业方面的问题。
为自己利用好这个机会吧。
首先，参与办公室互动讨论会激励你在学业上取得进步，并让你准备好要提出的问题。
这将极大地帮助你理解你在课堂上解释得不够清楚的问题。
其次，这也将帮助你树立起应该得到高分的勤奋学子的形象。
6）与聪明人合作学习对于需要小组学习的课程来说，这是必要的。
没人想要和一群懒汉儿在一块儿，自己得承担所有的任务，结果却得个很差的成绩。
你学习的质量与同你合作的人的态度直接相关。
与聪明人一块儿学习可以便于讨论。
理解一个观点的最佳方式是与其他聪明人讨论。
你和谁一块儿学习也影响着你的学术声誉。
如果你和那些不好学的学生交往，评分者会认为你也不好学。
与那些志趣相投的人交往也是不错的，7）杜绝熬夜通常来说，不得不熬夜意味着你整个学期都偷懒了，以至于你要把3个月的学习内容堆积到1天内学完。
如果你采取了循序渐进的学习策略则不需要临时抱佛脚了。
熬通宵并不奏效！的确，如果课程不难，靠这样得到高分仍是可能的，但更可能的情况是你的成绩会低很多。
熬通宵会影响成绩是因为这会让你疲惫不堪，忧心忡忡。
一考完试，你就几乎把所学的都忘光了，这消减了你接受的教育的实际价值。
不可或缺的生命课程每个人每天都会接触人，而其中大部分仅仅是熟人。
即使你和一个人不断交往几个月甚至几年，那人也仍然仅仅是熟人。
然后有一天，恍如隔夜，那个熟人就变成了朋友。
友谊并不是一夜就培养起来的；它是渐渐产生的，通常要经过交流，倾听，关心，分享，接受和鼓励等行为。
友谊——真正的友谊——并不是那么容易产生，它需要花费时间和精力来建立和培养。
但是交朋友和保存友谊是生命提供的最宝贵财富。
对于不同年龄段的人来说，交朋友都要经过同样的历程。
第一步就是敞开自己的心胸，同别人分享自己的想法和情感。
敞开心胸并开诚布公是同别人建立关系并最终成为朋友的关键。
可能对别人敞开心胸会威胁到自己。
