新视界大学英语综合教程第五单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading闲暇无为——抑或如何歇着无所事事几个世纪以前，人们没有多少闲暇时间，因为大家都在辛苦劳作。
在19世纪的英国，人们有了较多的空闲时间，但是维多利亚时代的人认为无所事事地歇着是一种罪。
于是，为了避免其诱惑，他们发明了足球和板球。
他们还开始从事更温和的休闲活动，如观鸟、园艺，甚至可能只是观看一项运动。
这给他们一种有事可做的满足感。
其中的一个例子是板球，这是一种规则怪异的奇特运动，比赛一连五天也没有任何进展，最后球员常常决定比赛以平局而告终。
但是所有的球员和观众都对这种毫无结果的比赛感到心满意足。
这就是我们现在称之为闲暇无为的一个很好的例子。
近年来，闲暇无为中的互动渐渐地变得更少了。
20世纪90年代，一种新的休闲方式诞生了，一些人认为躺在沙发上看电视体育节目或是DVD是他们能做的最令人激动的闲暇无为活动了。
这种人就是沙发土豆。
那么，谁想成为沙发土豆呢？实际上，许多人都想，而且都有很好的理由。
也许是一周中的休息日，也许是刚下班或放学回来，也许是疲惫不堪时想放松一下，对于沙发土豆来说，其他所有活动都太麻烦了，而懒散悠闲才是一种艺术。
怎么成为沙发土豆呢？那很容易。
找个舒适的地方坐下，比如一张很不错的软椅，或者……你知道接下来是什么……一张沙发。
别坐在土豆上。
确定你需要的所有东西都备好了：零食（尤其是炸薯片——真正的沙发土豆不会吃别的任何东西）、饮料、杂志和电视。
最重要的一个装备当然是遥控器了。
如果没有无需离开沙发就能改换频道的自由，那沙发土豆就徒有虚名了。
实际上，如果看电视不拿遥控器，就有类似于锻炼身体的危险了，这也许是应该避免的。
现在开始看电视吧。
要每十秒换一次频道，然后照此一直换下去。
尽可能快速地失去注意力，好让你保持一个沙发土豆的状态。
（记住，你的注意力持续时间和土豆的一样长。
）最后，请别人帮你做事，如再拿点吃的，或租张影碟。
然而，对他们的态度一定要好！如果态度不好，你很可能要自己做这些事了。

Unit One通过仪式生活是否如同对生活持宿命论看法的美国作家艾伯特哈伯德在一百年前所描述的那样，是“该死的事情一桩接着一桩”？抑或是一场障碍赛跑，期间每个参赛者，即世界各地的人们，不得不在生命的各个重要阶段展现自己的价值？莎士比亚在戏剧《皆大欢喜》中提出人的一生要经历“七个年龄段”，几乎每个社会都有的通过仪式也证明，我们往往是把生命分为这几个阶段来看待的，比如，童年、中年和老年。
通过仪式是社会对个人从一个阶段走向另一个阶段的正式的认可，其中被广泛认同的是由少年步入成年时举行的成年礼。
成年礼有多种形式。
例如，在犹太传统中，人生最重要的时刻之一就是“犹太男孩成人仪式”和“犹太女孩成人仪式”，人们为年满13岁的男孩和年满12岁的女孩举办宗教仪式和家庭聚会，这标志着从此以后这个孩子要对自己的行为负责了。
这个年龄也恰恰是许多国家规定开始承担法律责任的年龄。
美国中学生活结束前的毕业舞会则是另一种通过仪式。
这次误会非同寻常，学生们不仅穿着正式（许多学生平生第一次这么穿），他们通畅还乘坐着一辆租来的豪华轿车到达误会现场。
就在那一天晚上，他们似乎要表现得和年龄是他们两倍的成年人一样，至少是看上去要比自己的实际年龄打。
世界上最有趣的通过仪式之一或许就是澳大利亚土著人呢的“徒步旅行”了。
还处于青春期的少年必须在野外独自行走六个月，沿着古老的划定版图的“歌之界”追寻祖先的足迹。
通过这样的仪式，他们深入到土著文化这一世界上最源远流长的文化的精髓之中，并在这一过程中发现自我。

你看着这幅精妙的画越久，它就变得越神秘。
这位目光始终追随着我们、对我们带来如此大的影响的画中人到底是谁？正如一位著名评论家所说的，她看上去比她坐着的石头还要古老。

What would you like to say to the students who are not sufficiently appreciative of what they have now but idle away their time on campus? Write an essay of about 150 words with the tips given above.It’s natural, and perhaps human, for people to feel overjoyed when given acknowledgement and honor. However, in Text B the author has more than just happiness to share with us about her success and honour. What is it then? Do you get the message the author tries to convey? Think about, for example, your admission to college, a success of some degree for you and your family. Did you receive support, help, and encouragement from your family members, teachers, and friends? When looking back on your journey to the college, what do you want to say to them? Write an essay of about 150 words to share your feelings with your classmates.▆Sample Essay for Task 1:Today, many college students are from single-child families. Growing up in such environments, they tend to take for granted what they have. Some even develop bad habits and character flaws such as self-will, lack ofresponsibility and selfishness.In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge.Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates.Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confidence in me.I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did notunderstand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life!I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am.。
