1-We’ve been hitAdam Mayblum过去很享受看着暴风雨抽打他办公室窗户的场景:你认为这就是权力吗?Mayblum可能会讥笑。
我在世界贸易中心的87楼。
这就是权力。
百叶窗上的拉绳看起来像在轻轻地摇晃,但它只是一种假象。
虽然它是在距离地面1,040 英尺的高空中,但是世贸中心还是相当稳固的。
在9 月的那个早上,当Mayblum感觉到毁灭性的隆隆声时,他瞥了一眼拉绳。
他们被疯狂坠入3 英尺的任一方向。
那天早上,有数千人将被卷入一场惊心动魄的灾难,Mayblum也是其中的一员。
尽管多达25,000人找到了他们安全逃生的方式,但另外的5,000 人却没有逃脱得了这场灾难。
对于有些人来说,生死攸关的是此时此刻他们所在的地理位置---不仅是哪幢楼,哪一层,更重要的是在大楼的哪个角落。
对于有些人来说,选择使用哪一个楼梯是最基本的。
其他人所面对的则是终极的道德困境:拯救自己,还是拯救他人。
在名为戴维斯的金融服务公司里,Adam Mayblum办公室内的混乱持续了几秒钟。
他知道他需要逃离那里。
他把T恤撕成碎片,浸泡在水中,并分发给同事,用来捂住他们的脸。
其中:有一个是戴维斯的首席交易员---哈里·拉莫斯。
Mayblum曾与拉莫斯断断续续一起工作了14 年之久。
当他在楼梯上急速奔跑时,火花溅在了他的脚踝上。
当他冲下一段楼梯之后,他才意识到他的贸易伙伴,朱红还落在后面。
他又跑上楼,此时这个地方充满了烟和燃烧的喷气燃料。
看不到朱红的影子。
Mayblum又冲下楼梯,成功到达了78 楼,这里恰好是有一部电梯和一个楼梯的中转大厅。
他看到了一个令人放心的景象,拉莫斯已经淌进混乱的场面中,协助恐慌的工人转到安全的楼梯间。
Mayblum继续往下跑,他小腿的肌肉因抽筋而收缩。
在53层。
他碰见了一个身材粗壮的男人,他的腿无法移动了。
“你想自己过来,还是你想要我们来帮助你?”Mayblum大声喊道。
这个男的说自己需要帮助,Adam Mayblum答应了。

大学综合英语第二册基础英语何兆熊课文及译文LettertoaBL e t t e r t o a B s t u d e n tYour final grade for the course is B. A respectable grade. Far superior to the "Gentleman's C" that served as the norm a couple of generations ago. But in those days A's were rare: only two out of twenty-five, as I recall. Whatever our norm is, it has shifted upward, with the result that you are probably disappointed at not doing better. I'm certain that nothing I can say will remove that feeling of disappointment, particularly in a climate where grades determine eligibility for graduate school and special programs.Disappointment. It's the stuff bad dreams are made of: dreams of failure, inadequacy, loss of position and good repute. The essence of success is that there's never enough of it to go round in azero-sum game where one person's winning must be offset by another's losing, one person's joy offset by another's disappointment. You've grown up in a society where winning is not the most important thing—it's the only thing. To lose, to fail, to go under, to go broke—these are deadly sins in a world where prosperity in the present is seen as a sure sign of salvation in the future. In a different society, your disappointment might be something you could shrug away. But not in ours.My purpose in writing you is to put your disappointment in perspective by considering exactly what your grade means and doesn't mean. I do not propose to argue here that grades are unimportant. Rather, I hope to show you that your grade, taken at face value, is apt to be dangerously misleading, both to you and to others.As a symbol on your college transcript, your grade simplymeans that you have successfully completed a specific course of study, doing so at a certain level of proficiency. The level of your proficiency has been determined by your performance of rather conventional tasks: taking tests, writing papers and reports, and so forth. Your performance is generally assumed to correspond to the knowledge you have acquired and will retain. But this assumption, as we both know, is questionable; it may well be that you've actually gotten much more out of the course than your grade indicates—or less. Lacking more precise measurement tools, we must interpret your B as a rather fuzzy symbol at best, representing a questionable judgment of your mastery of the subject.Your grade does not represent a judgment of your basic ability or of your character. Courage, kindness, wisdom, good humor—these are the important characteristics of our species. Unfortunately they are not part of our curriculum. But they are important: crucially so, because they are always in short supply. If you value these characteristics in yourself, you will be valued—and far more so than those whose identities are measured only by little marks on a piece of paper. Your B is a price tag on a garment that is quite separate from the living, breathing human being underneath.The student as performer; the student as human being. The distinction is one we should always keep in mind. I first learned it years ago when I got out of the service and went back to college. There were a lot of us then: older than the norm, in a hurry to get our degrees and move on, impatient with the tests and rituals of academic life. Not an easy group to handle.One instructor handled us very wisely, it seems to me. On Sunday evenings in particular, he would make a point of stoppingin at a local bar frequented by many of the GI-Bill students. There he would sit and drink, joke, and swap stories with men in his class, men who had but recently put away their uniforms and identities: former platoon sergeants, bomber pilots, corporals, captains, lieutenants, commanders, majors—even a lieutenant colonel, as I recall. They enjoyed his company greatly, as he theirs. The next morning he would walk into class and give these same men a test. A hard test. A teston which he usually flunked about half of them.Oddly enough, the men whom he flunked did not resent it. Nor did they resent him for shifting suddenly from a friendly gear to a coercive one. Rather, they loved him, worked harder and harder at his course as the semester moved along, and ended up with a good grasp of his subject—economics. The technique is still rather difficult for me to explain; but I believe it can be described as one in which a clear distinction was made between the student as classroom performer and the student as human being. A good distinction to make. A distinction that should put your B in perspective—and your disappointment.Perspective. It is important to recognize that human beings, despite differences in class and educational labeling, are fundamentally hewn from the same material and knit together by common bonds of fear and joy, suffering and achievement. Warfare, sickness, disasters, public and private—these are the larger coordinates of life. T o recognize them is to recognize that social labels are basically irrelevant and misleading. It is true that these labels are necessary in the functioning of a complex society as a way of letting us know who should be trusted to do what, with the result that we need to make distinctions on the basis of grades, degrees, rank, and responsibility. But these distinctionsshould never be taken seriously in human terms, either in the way we look at others or in the way we look at ourselves.Even in achievement terms, your B label does not mean that you are permanently defined as a B achievement person. I'm well aware that B students tend to get B's in the courses they take later on, just as A students tend to get A's. But academic work is a narrow, neatly defined highway compared to the unmapped rolling country you will encounter after you leave school. What you have learned may help you find your way about at first; later on you will have to shift to yourself, locating goals and opportunities in the same fog that hampers us all as we move toward the future.Letter to a B student 写给中等生的一封信你的期末成绩是一个B,一个过得去的等级。
“教—学—研”模式的英语专业高级英语课程教改试验作者:韦少华来源:《黑龙江教育学院学报》2015年第01期摘要:学生学习高级英语课的目标不再仅仅是语言知识,更重要的是将语言知识运用到学术性的研究和活动中去。
注重在学习语言的同时,训练学术能力,把单一的语言学习和学术研究训练相结合的学习体验。
基于此,选择综合性很强的学术英语教材《综合英语教程》第5册和第6册(何兆熊主编),实施“教—学—研”模式下的教改试验,以期在提高学生语言能力的同时,全面提高他们的学术素养。
关键词:教学改革;高级英语;读书报告;学术能力中图分类号:H642文献标志码:A文章编号:10017836(2015)010153021教学改革思路多年的教学实践表明,学术语言的训练不能脱离具体的研究任务,脱离了研究任务,没有目标的学术英语教学是无厘头的语言游戏,学生难以从中受益。
基于上述考虑,笔者从2009年开始进行了探索性的教学改革试验。
参加试验的是三年级的学生,共四届,分布在8个教学班中,总人数约240人,先后有5名教师参与,使用何兆熊等编著的《综合英语教程》第五册和第六册教材。
学生学术语言的训练应抓住下列三个关键问题:(1)优秀的学术性文本的示范作用。
这些文本能够把一个具体的学术问题展示给学生。
学生在讨论这些核心知识的同时,能够获得基本的语言知识,如专业词汇、短语、句法、语篇和语体的结构等。
教师的主要任务是帮助学生消化吸收这些学术思想,建构学术知识的框架,并在具体的任务下获得一定的语言知识。
(2)科学思维能力。
学术性语言是一个功能概念,因此学生需要依照特定的研究问题展开合乎要求的逻辑思考。
常见的一些学术逻辑思考任务包括合理地交代研究背景、准确地选择并描绘研究方法、合理地表述当下的研究和以往的研究之间的关系等,最后也是最重要的一点是,运用证据来回答研究的问题。
这些能力在学术研究中不是孤立的,而是与语言运用密切相关的。
在逻辑思维的过程中,语言的运用非常重要,它既是思维的工具,同时又是学习和训练的目标。
