21世纪大学英语读写教程第一册第3课内容讲解21世纪大学英语读写教程第一册第3课内容讲解导语：史蒂夫莫里斯一出生就是盲目的，可是他并没有自我放弃，而是顽强生存得有声于色，下面是一篇讲述史蒂夫莫里斯的英语课文，欢迎阅读。

Stevie Wonder: Sunshine in the ShadowWhen Stevie Morris was born, on May 13, 1950, the doctors shook their heads and told the mother that her son was born blind and likely would always be that way. She broke into tears.Blind and black and poor — what kind of life could this new infant have? In her wildest dreams, Mrs. Morris could never have imagined that her new baby would become a famous musician called Stevie Wonder. At the time, all she could do was pray —and worry.Stevie himself didn't worry at all. Life was too full. He was brought up among church-going people whose faith helped them bear the poverty. He loved music and would pound spoons or forks on any surface that faintly resembled a drum.He even ran and played with sighted children. "I didn't realize I was blind until I was about four," he says. That might sound strange. To a small child just learning about the world, it wasn't strange at all. Stevie heard and smelled and touched. As far as he knew, that was all anyone could do. That was life.When Stevie's mother got tired of her tables being used for drums, she bought him a toy set. He played so hard that he had actually worn the toy out within a few weeks. Other toy sets followed; then an uncle added a toy harmonica, and Stevie learned to play it so quickly that everyone was amazed.Stevie taught himself to play the piano as quickly as he hadonce learned the harmonica. With friends, he began playing rock and roll music. They performed on the front porch of Stevie's apartment building, drawing crowds of neighbors to watch and listen and clap time to the beat."I loved that beat," Stevie says. He not only loved the beat, he was very good at making it.Ronnie White, of the Miracles singing group, heard Stevie and promptly took him down to his recording company, Motown Records."Give him an audition," Ronnie said. They did. All the top people at Motown got together to hear a little blind boy who wasn't even ten years old yet. At first, they were being nice. Poor kid. They didn't want to hurt his feelings.Then they heard Stevie sing and play, and nobody said "poor kid" anymore. They were too busy congratulating themselves on finding a youngster who could be the musical talent of the decade. "He's a wonder boy," somebody said as they watched little Stevie dart from one instrument to the next, playing each one with ease."Wonder," somebody else said, "Little Stevie Wonder."The new name stuck and Stevie Morris became Little Stevie Wonder. He had his first hit when he was twelve years old. It was called "Fingertips" and it was a smash.Over the following years, Little Stevie Wonder became one of the top recording artists at Motown, producing one hit after another. But as he grew into adulthood, Stevie began to get tired of the way the Motown company controlled all aspects of his career. He wanted to write and produce his own songs, but the Motown company thought it was unwise to change a winning formula.When he turned 21, Stevie finally got his freedom. Against Motown's wishes he started exploring: he made records that combined gospel, rock and roll, and jazz and which used African and Latin American rhythms. To the record company's surprise, Stevie's new albums such as "Music of My Mind" and "Innervisions" were even more popular than his early ones. Stevie Wonder had become a mature man and an independent musical artist.Just after this success, however, tragedy struck. In August of 1973, Stevie was involved in a serious car accident. For nearly a week he lay in a coma, unable to speak or walk. "We don't know when he'll be out of danger," the doctor said. Everyone waited and prayed. Suddenly, it didn't matter that Stevie was a musical genius or that he had conquered blindness and poverty. All he had left was his faith and strong will.That turned out to be enough. Stevie fought back from the shadow of death as he had once fought out from the shadow of blindness. He went on to give more performances, make more hit records.The car accident changed Stevie by making him reevaluate his goals in life. He still loved to make music, but he also started to pay more attention to the world outside. He worked to create a national holiday to honor the civil rights leader Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr.. He recorded songs urging racial harmony and raised money to end world hunger. Recently, Stevie was honored by South African president Nelson Mandela for his work against that country's system of racial apartheid.Stevie Wonder has faith and fame, wealth and love. He has not only conquered his own darkness, but through his music and his social activities he has been able to bring sunshine to theshadow of many other lives.New Wordssunshinen. the light and heat of the sun 阳光infantn. a very young child 婴儿musiciann. a person who performs on a musical instrument, or who writes music 乐师，作曲家prayvi.

Unit1Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint, and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field .At that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car: the wife of Sir John Laverty, the celebrated painter who lived nearby."'Painting!’ she declared.’ What fun. But what are you waiting for? Let me have the brush-the big one.’ she plunged into the paints and before I knew it, she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely terrified canvas. Anyone could see it could not hit back. I restituted no more. Seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with fury. I have never felt any fear of a canvas since." 1.When his wife died of a stroke in her sixties, the 72-year-old retired professor was overwhelmed by grief .Life would be too difficult for him without anybody to rely on.2.Last month two amateur painters held an exhibition of their pictures inLondon .Many people went to see it, including a few celebrated professors.3.when seven astronauts died in the challenger disaster in the mid-1980s,it plunged the whole world into shock and grief.4.After completing her second prime ministry, she remained actively involved in political affairs. She came to the rescue several times when the government was in difficulty.5.After completing her second prime ministry, she remained actively involved in political affair. she came to the rescue several times when the government was in difficulty.6.As long as you keep working hard all your life, you will recall your past with a glow of satisfaction.7.We must awaken people to the importance of environment protection now, or it will soon be too late.8. That official was removed from office of being involved in a political scandal. Had he known this would happen, he might have acted differently.Unit2This belief in hard work is the first of three main factors contributing to Asian students' outstanding performance. It springs from Asians' common heritage ofConfucianism, the philosophy of the 5th-century-BC Chinese sage teachings have had a profound influence on Chinese society. One of Confucius’s primary teachings is that through effort, people can perfect themselves.Confucianism provides another important ingredient in the Asians’ success as well. In Confucian philosophy, the family plays a central role--an orientation that leads people to work for the honor of the family, not just for themselves. One can never replay one's parents, and there's sense of obligation or even guilt that is as strong a force among Asians as Protestant philosophy is among those in the West1.Female students constitute the majority of our class. By contrast, their class is made up of males only.2.American children can usually watch TV three hours a day, whereas their Chinese counterparts have to work on their homework during most their after-school time.3.His development of a series of new research methods led to his huge success. He said he owed all this to his parents’ encouragement.4.He resented being excluded from discussions that directly concerned his future. 5.The fact that these problems are continually showing up suggests that this new device has to be readjusted.6.As one of the many Asian students who have surged into the best American universities in recent years, Zhang Hua says that many of his ideas are based on traditional Chinese philosophy.7.To start with, it is not merely money that makes Mr. Young work so hard. He is committed to educating the young and tires to motivate them to get ahead in life. 8.As time was running out, we drove even faster in the hope that we could make it to the airport in time.Unit3The first cultural translator I ever met was an installation engineer, George by name, who worked for an American company where I was the director of international operations. The company had just started a joint venture with a Japanese firm, and the American management needed someone to train the Japanese employees in its unique technology. George's solid understanding of the equipment, its installation and use made him the best-qualified employee for the job ,so everyone was happy when George accepted a two-year contract for temporary transfer to Japan.Form the start, George was well accepted by all the Japanese employees. Japanese managers often distrust anyone sent to represent US owners, but George was so naturally nonassertive that no one could see him as a threat to their careers. So they felt comfortable asking his advice on a wide range of matters, including the odd behavior of their partners across the ocean. Engineers throughout the company appreciated George's expertise and his friendly and capable help, and they got into habit of turning to him whenever they had a problem-any problem. And the secretaries in the office were eager to help this nice bachelor learn Japanese.1When this temporary job came to an end, George was offered a permanent job, which he accepted at once.2.To ensure that their ventures in Japan are profitable, the American companies need cultural translators even more than language translators.3.As a cultural translator, George was eager to help the Japanese employees who came to ask his advice on a great many matters, both within and outside of his field of expertise.4.Somehow or other, George persuaded the American manager to go along with the Japanese accountant’s decision, thus smoothing over the conflict between the two.5.Conflicts and arguments do arise at times between the American managers and their Japanese counterparts. But since both parties have the good sense to compromise, these conflicts are prevented from escalating into big emotional battles.6.All the Japanese employees, the personnel manager included, appreciated George’s frequent help with the multitude of problems they run into.7.My spoken Japanese is not good enough to express myself well. Please don’t get offended if I sometimes say stupid things.8.with a solid understanding of traditional Chinese medicine and a good mastery of English, dr. Zhang is highly qualified to train foreign doctors who came to China to study Chinese medicine.Unit4Failure is never pleasant. It hurts adults and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Step one is to ask,” Why did I fail?” Resist the natural impulse to blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don’t be shy about inquiring.Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior ,is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. You can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one, from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second .Even a failure that seems total can prompt fresh thinking, a change of direction.1.Protecting children from the knowledge that they have failed is anything but beneficial to their growth and development.2.Emerson does not think there is a world of difference between success and failure.3.A mature person is one who is good at turning failure into success.4.She was so obsessed with becoming a success in ice skating that she never prepared herself for challenges of the real world.5.He suffered a complete nervous breakdown when he learned that his company had gone bankrupt.6.When talking about his success, Mr. Smith is very prone to exaggeration.7.The company started by selling radios but now has branched out into selling computers as well.8.In fact, failure is nothing to be afraid of. Once we learn how to use it, it can make a positive contribution to our growth and development.Unit5Balancing work and school was difficult. "I was staying up late studying , and going to work early every morning .I was having a hard time concentrating in class, and a hard time on the job because I was so tired ," she says . But she ended up with two A's in her first semester anyway.Priscilla decided to pursue an archaeology major, and in the summer of 1992,she got her fist opportunity to really test out her interest in the subject. The archaeological filed school of Washington State University was sponsoring a summer research project at a site alongside the Snake River in Washington. Priscilla threw herself into the work, and the project supervisors were impressed. At the end of the summer, one of the professors offered her a job. "He said, ' We just got a contract for project in North Dakota. We want to hire you if you're willing to take a semester off from school.’ “The offer was a diversion from Priscilla's pursuit of her BA. "But by then I no longer doubted that I would ultimately finish school,so I felt comfortable grabbing this opportunity,” she says.1.The university offered Priscilla only a small loan and she had to come up with the rest of the money herself.2.With small income from her restaurant job, marry could barely make (both) ends meet. That’s why she found some cleaning work to do in the apartment building where she lived.3.During her first semesters, she often stayed up late studying because she knew she had to get the highest GPA in her class to qualify the scholarship.4.Anyone who wants to find employment in/ with that company must have at least a master’s degree; if not a Ph. D. otherwise he or she will not be accepted.5.Only if you completely throw yourself into your studies will you ultimately achieve your long-term goal of becoming an archaeologist.6.In the office Beth always looked happy and had a ready smile. But deep down, she was tired of being a secretary. She wanted to do something more creative.7.A migrant farm laborer from Mexico, my father was overjoyed when I was accepted by the University of Washington and became the first person in my family to attend college.8.When Priscilla looked back on her years of hard struggle, she said that it was no easy job to balance work and study.Unit6He had been proclaimed” the finest mind alive”,” the greatest genius of the l ate20th century”, and "Einstein's heir ".Known to millions, far and wide, for his book A Brief History of Time, Stephen Hawking is a star scientist in more ways than one. His gift for revealing the mysteries of the universe in a style that non-scientists can enjoy made Hawking an instant celebrity and his book a bestseller in both Britain and America. It has earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for spending 184 weeks in The Sunday Times” top-ten" list, and has sold more than five million copies worldwide--virtually unheard-of success for a science book.How did all this happen? How has a man who is almost completely paralyzed and unable to speak except through a computer overcome these incredible obstacles and achieved far more than people ever dream of?1.Stephen Hawking, a British scientist specializing in theoretical cosmology has been proclaimed the greatest genius of the late 20th century.2.Every time he releases a new record, the singer dreams of its/ it earning a place in the ‘top-t en’ list one the radio.3.Located to the northwest of London, Oxford University is well known/ noted far and wide for its academic excellence.4.An intellectual giant, Einstein was responsible for modern man’s new concept of time and space.5.This medical research is aimed at finding new treatments for inherited blood diseases, because the drugs now in use cannot cure these complicated diseases.6.This year is the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of our university. A private school initially, it has now become a world-famous university specializing in theoretical research.7.Two years ago, bob was feeling bored with his job as a restaurant manager. Luckily he won a scholarship to the state university.8.Asked what kind of student Stephen was at college, Prof. white, the then Chair of the Physics department, recalls: “ He impressed me as a very bright student with an instinctive insight into physics.”内容总结。

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。

二十一世纪大学实用英语（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译二十一世纪大学实用英语(第一册)课后答案及课文翻译.txt生活是过出来的，不是想出来的。

放得下的是曾经，放不下的是记忆。

无论我在哪里，我离你都只有一转身的距离。

二十一世纪大学实用英语（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译，21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译UNIT1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。

Unit 1 Text A College:How to Survive the First Y ear对于许多即将迈入大学校门的学生而言，大学生活似乎令人恐惧。

有些学生对远离家乡感到忧虑不安，有些对高昂的学费一筹莫展，多数则担心自己不能很好地完成学业。

以下十个小忠告不仅能帮助你顺利地度过大学第一年，或任何一年，而且能使你茁壮成长。

第一，参加所有的入学教育的活动。

是的，没错——的确有必要参加所有的入学教育的活动。

你对学校的规章制度越是熟悉，你的表现就会越发出色。

有了对校园生活方方面面的彻底了解——或者至少是那些从活动中所能搜集到的诸多信息的了解，那么，当层出不穷的问题出现时，你便能从容应对。

第二，要有条不紊。

上中学时，老师会引领学生完成作业，告知他们何时该交出作业。

然而，上了大学，教授布置作业，便期望你如期做好准备。

他们没有太多耐心倾听那些“我不知何时该交作业”之类的辩解。

因此，做你该做的——诸如买一个电子记事本，计划制订本，或者一个大大的挂在墙上的日历——无论如何，要做到有条不紊。

第三，有规律地学习。

貌似简单，可是，这是成功必不可少的组成部分。

除了有规律地学习之外，你还应当找一个理想的学习场所，无论是图书馆还是寝室里一个安静的角落，适合即可。

与其他很多事情一样，说到学习时间，质量胜于数量。

第四，准时上课。

迟到，或者不去上课的后果是什么？落后于其他学生，不能完成作业，遗漏课堂笔记，并且常常给教授留下“我不在乎”的印象。

通常，逃掉大清早的课睡个懒觉，或者干脆逃掉所有的课很具诱惑力——务必抵制住这种诱惑。

准时上所有的课，使之成为头等大事。

以后，你的成绩会感激你的所为。

第五，在适当的时候，约见教授。

约见教授不仅是为了问有关作业的问题，而且也是为了了解他们。

记住，与教授保持良好的个人关系益处多多，尤其是当你在学期中遇到一些意想不到的障碍时。

教授安排办公时间，其唯一目的就是与学生会面——利用好那段时间。

第六，结识你的学业顾问。

“这并不意味着对生活中的重要事情置之不理，”阿曼达解释说，“这意味着要安排好学习时间，以便能全神贯注。

要是我牵挂一位患病的朋友，我会在做功课之前先给她打个电话。

这样我坐下来学习时，就能真正集中心思了。

”2.在任何地方――或所有的地方学习。

亚利桑那州一位教授曾奉命辅导一些成绩欠佳的大学运动员。

他记得有一名赛跑运动员每天都要训练。

他曾说服他利用这段时间记忆生物学术语。

另一名学生则把词汇表贴在盥洗室墙上，每天刷牙时都记住一个生词。

3.安排好资料。

汤姆在中学时打过篮球。

“我非常忙，不可能为了找一支铅笔或一本不见的笔记本而浪费时间。

我把每样东西都放在随后可取的地方，”他说。

新墨西哥州学生保罗为每门功课备有两个文件夹，一个放当天布置的作业，另一个放已完成要交的家庭作业。

一个抽屉把必需的用品放在一起，这样就可减少因找东西而浪费的时间。
