Unit 1: 绿化，永无止境【1】环保主义思想‎已经深深的扎‎根于校园。

你可以看到环‎保运动已经蔓‎延到了全国，从加利福利亚‎大学戴维斯分‎校的“零浪费”运动场到纽约‎州瓦瑟学院0‎7级学生献给‎学校的价值1‎0000美元‎的太阳能电池‎板。

环保意识已经‎深入到同学们‎的内心，他们通过开展‎一些竞赛活动‎来推进回收再‎利用，并且大幅减少‎学生宿舍能源‎的使用。

学校里还开设‎了一些与环境‎相关的课程与‎专业，甚至还设立了‎一些奖学金。

这些新的举措‎是很有意义的‎。

高等教育明确‎定位，不仅是要为社‎会培养有环保‎意识的公民，还要培养环保‎工程师，环保建筑师和‎环保政策的制‎定者。

康奈尔大学的‎校长Davi‎d Skorto‎n说得好：“可持续发展势‎在必行。

”【2】想要寻找环保‎运动已经广泛‎开展的证据，只要关注全国‎各大学都热衷‎参与Recy‎c leMan‎i a 竞赛就能‎找到答案。

2008年的‎冠军不是像哈‎佛和斯坦福大‎学这些以环保‎著称的著名学‎府，而是在密歇根‎州的一所微不‎足道的大学——卡拉马祖大学‎。

在十周的比赛‎中，卡拉马祖大学‎的同学们总共‎回收利用了5‎9%的废物。

（哈佛是27%，斯坦福是30‎%）。

环保社团的成‎员们还开展了‎名为“宿舍风暴”的活动。

他们在每个寝‎室都埋伏了同‎学来专门观察‎和宣传那些减‎少浪费的行为‎。

他们还收集校‎内垃圾桶内的‎可回收材料——甚至运送塑料‎泡沫和废旧电‎脑到公司以便‎加工后再利用‎。

他们把废弃的‎书拆开来使得‎纸张可以再利‎用。

一些旧的椅子‎、杯子、扬声器和钢琴‎都在校园的二‎手货交易中重‎获新生，满屋子都是一‎些二手货，当然还是免费‎的。

【3】环保建筑也如‎春笋般突然出‎现在校园中，从杜克大学里‎带有环保屋顶‎的“智慧屋”（一间同时可作‎为绿色生活实‎验室的宿舍）到加州大学在‎默赛德新校区‎，那里的所有建‎筑都达到了美‎国绿色建筑委‎员会制定的标‎准。

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.我们写作时常常被告诫，脑子里要有读者，笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。

但有一位读者特别不该忘记。

你能猜出是谁吗？当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。

Writing for MyselfRussell Baker 1 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·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。

unit 1 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeIn America many people have a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。

许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。

很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。

或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。

但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。

Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream LifeJim Doherty1 There are two things I have always wanted to do -- write and live on a farm. Today I'm doing both. I am not in E. B. White's class as a writer or in my neighbors' league as a farmer, but I'm getting by. And after years of frustration with city and suburban living, my wife Sandy and I have finally found contentment here in the country.有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。

我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。

弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。

他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。

④ Books, indeed, endow us with a whole enchanted palace of thoughts.There is a wider prospect, says Jean Paul Richer, from Parnassus thanfrom a throne. In one way they give us an even more vivid idea thanthe actual reality, just as reflections are often more beautiful than realnature. "All mirrors," says George Macdonald, "The commonest room isa room in a poem when look in the glas."
The Pleasure of Reading --- What Are Gamered Up for Us in the World of Books?
① Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages; they picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature; help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in sufferig, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, and fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.

全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译《全新版大学英语综合教程课文原文及翻译》Unit 1: The World of WorkPart 1: The Changing Nature of WorkThe world of work is constantly evolving, and it is important for individuals to adapt to these changes. In today's fast-paced society, the traditional notions of work are being challenged, and new opportunities are emerging. This unit explores the changing nature of work and its implications for individuals and society.1.1 The Traditional 9-to-5 JobTraditionally, work was often characterized by a 9-to-5 job in a fixed location. Employees would commute to an office or a factory, and their work would be structured around set hours. This model provided stability and a sense of routine for many individuals. However, with advancements in technology and globalization, this traditional model is no longer the only option.1.2 Flexible Work ArrangementsToday, flexible work arrangements are becoming more common. People have the opportunity to work remotely, choose their own hours, and even become self-employed. This flexibility allows individuals to better balance their work and personal lives. However, it also presents new challenges, such as the need for self-discipline and the blurring of boundaries between work and leisure.1.3 The Gig EconomyThe rise of the gig economy is another significant change in the world of work. In this model, individuals take on short-term or freelance jobs, often facilitated by online platforms. This provides them with more autonomy and the ability to pursue multiple income streams. However, it also means less job security and benefits compared to traditional employment.1.4 The Importance of Lifelong LearningWith the changing nature of work, the importance of lifelong learning cannot be overstated. Individuals need to continually update their skills and knowledge in order to remain competitive in the job market. This includes developing new technological competencies and adaptability to navigate future changes in the workplace.Part 2: The Impact of Work on Identity and Well-beingWork plays a significant role in shaping individual identity and overall well-being. How individuals perceive their work and the meaning they derive from it can greatly impact their satisfaction and happiness.2.1 Work as a Source of IdentityFor many people, work is not just a way to earn a living but also a source of identity and purpose. The type of work one engages in can be closely tied to personal values and ambitions. However, it is important to recognize that work should not be the sole determinant of a person's self-worth. Finding a balance between work and other aspects of life is crucial for overall well-being.2.2 Work-Life BalanceAchieving work-life balance is a constant challenge in today's connected world. The boundaries between work and personal life can easily blur, leading to increased stress and burnout. Employers and individuals need to actively promote strategies and policies that enable employees to have a healthy integration of work and personal life.2.3 The Pursuit of Meaningful WorkMany individuals strive to find work that is not only financially rewarding but also personally fulfilling. Meaningful work gives individuals a sense of purpose and satisfaction. This can be achieved by aligning personal values and passions with one's chosen career path.2.4 Work and Mental HealthThe relationship between work and mental health is complex. While work can provide a sense of structure and purpose, it can also contribute to stress and anxiety. Employers and society as a whole need to prioritize mental health support in the workplace and foster a culture that promotes work-life balance and overall well-being.ConclusionThe world of work is undergoing significant changes, requiring individuals to adapt and embrace new opportunities. The impact of work on identity and well-being cannot be underestimated. It is crucial for individuals, employers, and society to work together to create a more balanced and fulfilling work environment. By recognizing the evolving nature of work andaddressing its challenges, we can create a future where individuals find meaning and satisfaction in their careers.。

Unit one 绿化，永无止境【1】环保主义思想已经深深的扎根于校园。

你可以看到环保运动已经蔓延到了全国，从加利福利亚大学戴维斯分校的“零浪费”运动场到纽约州瓦瑟学院07级学生献给学校的价值10000美元的太阳能电池板。

环保意识已经深入到同学们的内心，他们通过开展一些竞赛活动来推进回收再利用，并且大幅减少学生宿舍能源的使用。

学校里还开设了一些与环境相关的课程与专业，甚至还设立了一些奖学金。

这些新的举措是很有意义的。

高等教育明确定位，不仅是要为社会培养有环保意识的公民，还要培养环保工程师，环保建筑师和环保政策的制定者。

康奈尔大学的校长David Skorton说得好：“可持续发展势在必行。

”【2】想要寻找环保运动已经广泛开展的证据，只要关注全国各大学都热衷参与RecycleMania 竞赛就能找到答案。

2008年的冠军不是像哈佛和斯坦福大学这些以环保著称的著名学府，而是在密歇根州的一所微不足道的大学——卡拉马祖大学。

在十周的比赛中，卡拉马祖大学的同学们总共回收利用了59%的废物。

（哈佛是27%，斯坦福是30%）。

环保社团的成员们还开展了名为“宿舍风暴”的活动。

他们在每个寝室都埋伏了同学来专门观察和宣传那些减少浪费的行为。

他们还收集校内垃圾桶内的可回收材料——甚至运送塑料泡沫和废旧电脑到公司以便加工后再利用。

他们把废弃的书拆开来使得纸张可以再利用。

一些旧的椅子、杯子、扬声器和钢琴都在校园的二手货交易中重获新生，满屋子都是一些二手货，当然还是免费的。

【3】环保建筑也如春笋般突然出现在校园中，从杜克大学里带有环保屋顶的“智慧屋” （一间同时可作为绿色生活实验室的宿舍）到加州大学在默赛德新校区，那里的所有建筑都达到了美国绿色建筑委员会制定的标准。

缅因州的福尔曼大学也实施了一项最不寻常的计划。

在2008年6月，福尔曼大学与南方生活杂志协力创建了名为“绝壁村屋”的太阳能展示区。

它占地3400平方英尺，在将来也许会成为环保主义者的梦想住宅。
