第三版 新视野大学英语Unit 1 Section B

Unit 1 sectionB时值秋夜，在我的故乡新斯科舍，小雨淅沥，轻叩锡铁屋顶。

我们周末度假寄住的古老小屋，弥漫着一股霉味。

空气寒冷得让人发抖，于是我们点上了富兰克林取暖炉。

我们悠然地喝着热朱古力，接着父亲走向立式钢琴，卷起衬衣袖，伸出一指敲一曲。

他算不上一个钢琴家，可他知道歌中的情、家中的爱。

母亲放下手中的针线活，和他同坐在一条凳子上，然后我哥哥也快缓步走向钢琴。

最后，不太能唱歌却能拉拉小提琴的我也凑热闹唱了一两句。

一向体贴人的父亲说：“你看，你也可以唱的，宝贝。

唱得很好。

”我常常记得成长的过程中感受到的温暖、幸福和关爱。

虽然我花了好些年才知道，家人的爱不是凭空产生的。

叶事实上，爱从来就不是凭空产生的，甚至对那些看上去像我父母那样天生充满爱的人来说也一样。

但是，我愿打赌，你必须生活于一个构架之中，方能让爱这一无与伦比的礼物瓜熟蒂落。

首先，爱需要时间。

也许人们可以一眼看到爱的可能，见面几周后就郑重宣布“我爱你”等等，但是这样的爱，相当于刚开始爬山，而这漫长的爬山之路充满着起起落落。

瓜熟蒂落之爱就像一个有生命的机体。

它跟一棵橡树的生命一样，从土里的一粒种子开始，慢慢地长成几乎无叶的细枝，最后枝繁叶茂、足以遮荫，成就其辉煌。

我们不可调控或者加速其成长所需的年月，相反，我们必须用才智和耐心，始终欣赏相互间的差异，分享彼此的快乐和痛苦。

因此，如果因小怒而离婚，父母孩子相互不信任，在第一次受伤害后中断友谊，或不再相信爱，那是令人痛心的事情。

我们常常未经深思熟虑就向某人说“再见”，结果付出了非常昂贵的感情代价。

我曾经认识一对父子，他们被各自的生活困难困扰，多年来距离越拉越远，结果相互间几乎没话可说，而相互间没了依靠，他们的生活变得空虚。

儿子大学毕业后的那个夏天，打算开着黄色老卡车到连通全国的双车道公路上周游一番（那时还没有免费高速公路）。

有一天，在准备出发时，他看见父亲沿着繁忙的街道走来。

父亲熟悉的脸上带着的孤苦令他震动。

Key to ExercisesUnit 1Section APre-reading activities11B 2D 3C 4A 5E31 In fact all the pieces of advice mentioned in the interview are very useful. But if I have t choose one as the most useful, I’d choose “keep a balance”. When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It’s important to keep a balance between life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2 Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Scripts:Sarah: Hi I’m Sarah. I’m a student advisor at a university. I know the first year of college is always difficult. You have to adapt to a new environment, and learn to do everything on your own. To help make your transition just a little easier, I’m going to interview some senior students on campus let’s see what advice they can give you.Sarah: Hi Jennifer. What do you think is important to a freshman?Jennifer: I think it is very important to go to class regularly. It sounds easy, but oversleeping and missing that 8 o’clock morning class is very common. Try to go to class on time and regularly. You will learn the material in class, get to know the professors, and make friends with your classmates. You will also get important information from the professors about tests and exams.Sarah: Mark, do you agree with Jennifer?Mark: Absolutely. My advice is: Find a good place to study. It may be your dorm room or a corner of the library or a quiet classroom, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done. If you have trouble concentrating in your dorm, you need to find another place.Sarah: Nancy, what is our advice for freshmen?Nancy: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” My advice is to get involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is that they miss home and they don't have a sense of belonging. The solution is to join a student organization, or a club, or a sports team. You will make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.Sarah: Excellent advice, Nancy. Simon, it seems you have something to say.Simon: Yes, I do. Well, I want to say you should keep a balance. College life is a mixture of social life and academic life. Don’t join too many student organizations or go to too many activities. Otherwise, you won’t have enough time to study. Of course, you should not become a book worm. The key is to keep a balance between fun and study.Sarah: They all give very useful tips. But let me add a few more. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions; take advantage of the learning resources on campus; stay healthy and eat right.I hope you will get the most out of your college experience.Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text11. The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2. The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3. By saying “sample them widely”, the president mean students should try may different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4. If we don’t challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don’t know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6. We should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which will enrich our life.7. The expression Now it is your turn” means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8. The president’s welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life , the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities we should take. The speech is very inspiring.Critical thinking1. A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in anumber of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and shareideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2.Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and thereforemore choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselves byachieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4.Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. Andthere are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be “ignorant”. The result would be that ignorant people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try “ignorance”, the cost would be even higher5.To sample widely and challenge myself, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and dowhat I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I will attend unconventional lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Language focusWords in use31 confidence2 explore3 emerged4 assume5 pose6 comprehensive7 resources 8 yield 9 inherited 10 transmitWord building4Words learned new words formed-uncover uncovereasy uneasyload unload-antapply applicant resist resistant account accountant -ifysimple amplify note notify quality qualify class classify51.classified2.assist3.resistant4.uncovered5.uneasy6.qualify7.unloading8.applicants9.simplified10.accountant11.notifiedBanked cloze61 D2 H 3A 4B 5M 6 F 7O 8 I 9 G 10 JExpressions in use71.got by2.make the most of3.in advance4.over time5.reap the benefits of6.all at once7.remind… of8.stand a chance of9.open the door to10.take pleasure inStructure analysis and writingStructure analysis8Topic S: Let me share with you something that you may not expect.Detail 1: You will miss your old routines and your parents’ reminders to work hard and attain your best.Detail 2: You may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with high school, and your parents may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with doing your laundry!Concluding S: But know this: the future is built on a strong foundation of the past.Structured writing9There are some things you can do to succeed in college. First, pursue passions. Your passions will broaden your mind and make your life interesting. Second, never let go of any opportunities that come your way. College is full of unique opportunities, which will enable you to sample new things and meet wonderful people. Lastly, take responsibilities. In college you must learn to be responsible for your own decisions and actions. With the passions, the opportunities, and the ability to take responsibilities, you will become successful not only in college, but also in your future career.Translation10苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。

From starting a new job to pursuing a career change, individuals often encounter obstacles in their professional development. However, with the right mindset and a willingness to learn, one can navigate these challenges and even turn them into opportunities for growth.In conclusion, challenges are an inevitable part of life.

Whether it be in academics, relationships, or professional pursuits, overcoming obstacles is essential for success. Embracing challenges allows us to broaden our perspectives, develop new skills, and ultimately thrive in all aspects of life.。
