我从小就胖乎乎的,长大后也一直超重。
因为我比别的孩子重,常有人嘲笑我,因此我很害羞,很难为情。
我曾经节食过好几次,但没有一次成功,最后体重反而增加。
体重增加的另外一个因素是我热爱烹饪,我特别喜欢做一些油腻、脂肪含量很高的甜点,吃就更不用说了。
18岁高中毕业时,我体重达到了215磅。
我自信全无,不敢离家去外地的新学校,就决定不去上大学,在家呆着。
我没有改变不健康的饮食习惯,体重一直上升,我越来越不开心,可是我没有采取任何行动,只是衣服尺码越买越大。

People want to be popular, loved and fashionable. Therefore, they often turn to advertising to have a sense of security. Second, advertisers take advantage of human weakness. Through advertisements, they tell people what is new, what they should look like, what is cool, and what is hot. They constantly stimulate people to want things and to follow fashion. Eventually, people become victims of advertising even without realizing it.Ex. 12 1 D 2 B 3 D 4 D 5 BEx. 13 1 economic 2 estimated 3 measurable 4 inspired 5 maximize6 motivate7 individual8 distribute9 concerning 10 abusesEx. 14 1 by name 2 at a glance 3 to that end 4 speak for 5 take…action Ex. 151 I find it increasingly difficult to live within my incomes.2 Modern politicians try to reach out to ordinary people in their TV speeches.3 Pupils should be helped to adopt a positive attitude to life.4 Everyone in class is expected to participate in these discussions.5 If you commit a crime you must expect to be punished.Ex. 161 The Wall Advertising Council, // a private, non-profit organization, // was founded to rally support // for World War II-related efforts.2 The Ad Council’s mission // is to identify // a select number of significant public issues // and stimulate action on those issues // through communications programs // that makea measurable difference // in our society.3 In 1995, // to maximize the impact of all of the campaigns, // The Ad Council’s Board of Directors // voted unanimously // to adopt a new. ten-year initiative // to help Americans // who can’t speak for themselv es —our children.4 The Ad Council’s pledge // is to remain committed and vigilant // in establishing a foothold // for public service advertising // in a rapidly changing media landscape.5 These new messages are designed // to inform, inspire and involve all Americans // to participate in activities // that will strengthen the nation // and help win the war on terrorism.Ex. 17 1 but 2 so 3 for 4 and 5 orEx. 181 Teeth fascinate him, so Jack has decided to become a dentist.2 He will rent a small apartment by himself, or he will get a large place with a friend.3 Since the 1840s, American women had fought for the right to vote, yet they did not win that right until 1920.4 A curious crowd gathered on the sidewalk, and live models danced in the store window.5 They are the best pool players on the block, but they can’t beat my cousin from Cleveland.Ex. 191 they are interesting, articulate people2 he sleeps with a light on in his room3 I took the test and got an A4 I won’t wear the ten-gallon hat5 we can stay later at the park Ex. 10FOR SALEWell-Built Mountain Bicycle (Almost New) RMB 150Add.

广告的受害者你可以称我为购物狂,就像我大多数朋友说的那样,但我称自己为时尚热捧者。
坐在自己的房间,看着衣柜里我所有的衣服,心里嘀咕着我还该买些什么别的。
Abercrombie,Guess,J Crew及Ralph Lauran只是充斥在我的房间里的那些名牌服装中的一部分,但我还想在买些别的衣服。
我从没有考虑过我买的东西是否物有所值,虽然我买东西一向很“精明”,买的都是打折商品。
但是,当我对营销—我将来要从事的领域,了解得越多,我就愈来愈清楚自己是广告的受害者。
所有我想要的,想买的都受到杂志、电视及那些广告商的影响,它们总是在告诉我该买些什么。
每个人都穿衣服,衣着在向人们展示你是什么样的人,衣着也可能只是一件纯粹的生活必需品。
对我而言,服装在不同时期有不通的含义。
孩提时,妈妈给什么我就穿什么,要不就穿姐姐传下来的旧衣服,我从没有考虑过我会是什么样的形象,但我还是喜欢穿的漂漂亮亮的。
初中时,像大多数女孩一样,我开始在意自己的外表。
等升到高中,广告开始对我产生巨大的影响,男生开始留意女生,每个女孩都想让自己看起来漂漂亮亮。
在高中,衣着开始决定着你的身份,并把你归入某一群人,穿Abererombie牛仔装说明你是那种大众化的美国女生,干净利落。
而如果你穿着Guess的衬衫,那么说明你是富家千金,挺讲派头,任何其他差一点的衣服都不屑一顾。
在大学,广告又以不同的方式影响着我。
在大学里,通常起初谁也不认识你,所以你可以做你想做的人。
学校里学生这么多,形形色色,服装越来越不能说明什么,反倒是你的个性却越来越多地说明你是哪类人。
人人都在成长,在改变着,也开始明确,自己到底是什么样的人。
我和朋友们依然关注广告,只是,现在我们不仅是想紧跟潮流,更多的是想找到自己的风格。
在给自己定位的过程中,我选择的服装款式反映了我的风格,显示了我的个性,表明我是那种类型的人。
虽然我决心让服装反映我的风格,而不是让自己受服装的限制,但我仍然受广告的左右。
Chapter 1教育:社会的反思(杜亚-译)探访学校,在世界任何地方,你可能会注意到若干相似之处。
学生,教师,课本,黑板和考试无处不在。
然而,在任何其他国家相比一个国家的学校制度是不同于别的的系统。
它不能完全一样的,因为每个文化是不同的。
教育系统是一面镜子,反映文化。
看看学校系统,你将看到的社会结构及其文化价值。
墨西哥在墨西哥,教育系统反映了国家的许多方面。
相信国家能够通过教育实现人人平等的权利。
墨西哥的教育系统的基础是国家的宪法,并于1917年写的。
它要求教育是免费的,强制性的,具有普遍性。
它还指出,教育应支持民族团结,导致社会,经济和文化的人民改善。
在较低的水平,这意味着有该国丰富的文化历史的重视。
孩子写历史论文,参加各种活动,为国家节日,阅读有关国家英雄 - 特别是土著人。
然而,我们很难提供在农村地区,那里的土著人民仍然生活教育。
在这些地区的人民是贫穷和孤立的地理位置。
没有足够的学校,农村教师必须能够教小学所有6个等级。
此外,在一些土著人民的传统通常不包括上学。
日本日本高度重视教育。
一项统计数字反映了这一点:日本教育等放在重要的是,百分之88的学生不仅完成小学,而且高中。
公立学校都是免费和平等的,所有学生被认为是平等的,学习相同的材料。
对于社会的原因,很重要的一个学生获得大学学位,并从“大学学位的权利。
”为了实现这一目标,学生必须通过“考试地狱。
”有入学的所有大学困难的考试,到更好的小学和中学很多,甚至一些幼儿园!日本学生需要伟大的纪律,以使他们在学习的时间,他们需要自我控制放弃嗜好,体育和社会生活。
这些考试的结果会影响整个家庭,因为有很高的地位,社会地位或为整个家庭,当孩子考试分数高。
英国在联合王国(英国),教育系统反映了复合系统。
所有公立学校,小学,中学和大学,都是免费的,首先是平等的9年,所有学生学习相同的材料。
11岁时,学生参加考试的一个重要的国家。
在此之后,他们参加一个中学三种可能:学院的筹备,职业(就业培训),或全面(与两组的学生)。

第二单元PassageA鼠标轻点,美梦成真还有不到一个月就要毕业了,特里萨·史密斯还没找到合适的工作,她就读于位于伊利诺州埃文斯顿的西北大学。
就业指导中心建议这位文科生去查查JOB-TRAK网站,该网站上列出了45,000个初级水平的职位。
史密斯选择了四个关键词:Chicago(芝加哥),business(商务),marketing (营销),full time(全职)。
她马上就找到45个工作合乎她的标准,其中一个是芝加哥商业学院行政助理。
四个星期以后,她得到了这份工作,底薪32,000美元。
“我没有受过任何训练,”史密斯说,“但因特网使用很简单。
要是没有因特网,我根本不会知道有这份工作。
”不少美国人鼠标一点,就找到了自己的工作。
史密斯是其中一个,另一个例子是斯蒂芬·图尔斯。
他住在马里兰州的罗科维尔,1996年无意中进到一个招聘网站CareerBuilder。
他在一家生产商展展品的公司工作,刚被提升为营销总管,并不想换工作。
但是出于好奇心,他决定“试试看”。
图尔斯填写了一份简历,关键词是market manager(行销经理),并输入了自己的电子邮箱地址。
不到一个星期,他的邮箱里就塞满了可供选择的职位。
他去了两家公司面试,然后就跳槽了。
“有了因特网,就像雇了一个私人助理,”图尔斯说。
“你可以毫不费劲地留意到一些机会,让你的事业上一个新台阶。
”仅在两年以前,因特网上提供的工作绝大部分还局限于高科技领域。
现在,非技术性的工作,如售货员、银行职员、秘书等,是网上招聘机会增长最为迅速的部分。
大型报纸和专业出版物的分类广告大多都有在线版,求职者能搜索到市内、国内甚至国外的一些工作机会。
马德琳·格拉格和内德扎德·多兹里克也是通过轻点鼠标,在网上碰到了好运。
1996年,圣路易斯的一名高中老师,28岁的马德琳·格拉格,想换个工作。
有个朋友提到在日本教书的事,格拉格很感兴趣。
Unit 1Text AHoward Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

Unit1Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。
Learning, Chinese-StyleHoward Gardner 1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

unit 11 最近一个周末,有位女士在大西洋城玩老虎机,赢了满满一桶二十五美分的硬币。
她暂时离开赌博机,与丈夫前往旅馆餐厅吃晚饭。
2 不过,她想先去客房把硬币藏起来。
“我去一会儿就回来,然后我们再去吃饭。
”她对她的丈夫说道,之后,便提着满满一桶硬币朝电梯走去。
3 她正要走进电梯时,看到电梯里已经有两位男乘客。
两位都是黑人,其中一位个头很高,体型令人望而生畏。
这位女士一下子愣住了。
她的第一反应是:“这两个男人会打劫我。
”她转而又想:“不要戴着‘有色眼镜’看人;他们看上去完全像是绅士。
”然而,种族偏见的力量是强大的,恐惧使她浑身发凉。
她定在那里,眼睛紧盯着眼前两位男子。
4 她开始焦虑,心神不定,又感到不好意思。
她希望他们没有看出她的心思,但是,天啊,他们肯定已经知道她在琢磨什么了!5 要不要进去和他们同乘一部电梯?她迟疑不决的态度已经太过明显了。
她涨得满脸通红。
老站着不动也无济于事,于是她横下心来,抬起一只脚往前挪,接着另一只脚也跟了进来,站在电梯内。
她不敢抬眼,僵直地转过身,脸朝外,这时,电梯门合上了。
时间一秒一秒地过去。
她越来越害怕!电梯纹丝不动。
她陷入了恐惧的深渊。
“我的天啊,”她暗忖,“我被困在这里,要遭人劫财!”她的心往下沉,每个毛孔都在冒汗水。
6 这时,她听到其中一个人说:“趴下(与“按下楼层”同音)。
”她的本能反应就是照着他们的话做。
于是她张开双臂,趴在了电梯地板上,满桶的硬币飞向空中,洒了出去。
硬币如雨点般落在了她的身上。
她在心里默祷:“把钱拿去吧,饶我一命。
”又过了几秒钟,她听到其中一位男子彬彬有礼地说:“夫人,您只要告诉我您要去几楼,我们来按按钮。
”说这话的人有点费力才把话说完,尽力忍住没有放声大笑。
7 这位女士抬起头望着这两位男乘客。
他们弯下腰,把她搀扶起来。
她满腹疑惑,挣扎着站了起来。
“我叫我这个朋友按楼层,”那位普通个头的男子说,“意思是叫他按我们要去的楼层的按钮。
夫人,我并非要您趴在地上。

Unit 1PA牛津大学牛津大学是英国最古老的大学,也是世界最著名的高等学府。
牛津大学始建于12世纪。
它位于英格兰的牛津,在伦敦西北约80公里处。
牛津大学有16,300多名学生(1999-2000),其中留学生占将近四分之一。
他们来自130多个国家。
牛津大学有35个学院,还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私人学院。
5个私人学院中,有3个只招男生。
学院中,圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生,其他均为男女兼收。
牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体,由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。
部分管委会成员都称为导师的学院教师,其余的是大学教授和讲师。
每个学院管理自己的房产和资产,遴选自己的管委会,选择和招收自己的本科生。
大学提供某些图书馆、实验室和其他设施,但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。
牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师,他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。
导师每周和1到2名学生见面一次,学生如需专业指导,还可以去约见其他的导师,也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。
学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。
学位由大学授予,而不是各个学院。
最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。
牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予最高的学位,颁发文凭和证书。
罗兹德奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生,为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。
英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学里求学的美国公民提供"马歇尔奖学金"。
然而,奖学金和助学金的竞争极其激烈,而且通常要求很严。
学生们在申请某一项奖学金之前应仔细核查是否有资格,因为多数奖学金对学生国籍和(或)课程都有限制。
牛津师生员工积极参与主动招生的活动,2001年这种活动有55项以上,包括走访3,700所中学,以鼓励优秀学生报考牛津大学,而不管其背景如何。
在2001年度的"创新"竞赛中,牛津大学被授予英国最具创新精神的大学称号。
该竞赛旨在发现哪一所英国大学在最广的领域内取得了创新和进取的最大成就。
