Unit 1 college lifeText A A Stisfying College Experience令人满意的大学体验莉亚.思宁斯基2011年8月31日随着时间的推移，我对“你长大想要干什么？”这个老问题的答案变化很大。
四岁时候，像大多数充满希望的学龄前儿童，我很自信的回答，我想成为美国总统。
上小学时，我的目标稍微实际了一点—我想成为一名宇航员或者科学家。
但是，到了初中，警钟响起：我对自然科学没有天赋。
上高中时，我决定在英语方面找到适合自己的位置，我的职业规划是希望自己做自己最喜欢的一块—读和写。
作为一名主修英语辅修新闻的大四学生，我自豪地说我不得不放弃梦想，我长大想要做什么的梦想毫无疑问排在我毕业后能做什么之后。
每当我告诉人们我上大学所学的东西，我收到的是种种疑问，我听到的是各种“为什么”，领会的多，自然就更自信。
大学的三年时光让我明白所有关于大学的陈词滥调都是正确的。
大学是一生中学习最多的地方。
不仅仅在学习上，而且因为大学塑造了未来的我们。
上大学时候所做的选择极大地影响我们培养的兴趣和我们认可的价值观。
刚毕业我可能不能在出版社找到理想的工作，但是我不后悔，也从来没有后悔过我所选择的专业。
今年夏天，在朋友的毕业晚会上，我听着朋友们讨论以后无聊的工作和压抑的研究生生活。
这些都是我最聪明，最有天赋和最勤奋的朋友。
他们的简历令人印象深刻，写满了各个季度的实习，各个社团的职位以及极高的GPA。
他们中很多人都是英文专业。
但是我仍然怀有希望。
在大学，我亲身体验了我所珍视的东西。
体验了记者的生活，完成了采访，体验了截止日期内交稿，体验了看到所写的东西出版的满足感。
在文学课上，我拜读了作家的经典作品，他们的价值观有的我认同，有的我反对，但是他们都使我变得更加智慧，更加有修养，更加开明。
或许需要一段时间，我才能找到像我大学经历那样满意的职业，但是我相信我能找到。
我永远感激自己上大学学的是文科，我知道它将继续丰富我的生活。

全新版大学英语综合教程1 教案Unit1Unit One College LifeText A What to Expect from College LifeBackgroundTypes of Colleges in the U.S.If you’re planning to study in the U.S., you have a number of choices when it comes to pickyour college. There are many types of schools, each having its own mission and purpose within American education.Two-year collegesTwo-year institutions, which are typically referred to as community or junior colleges, award the associate degree — Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) — followingsuccessful completion of a two-year, full-time program. There are two basic types of programs at community and junior colleges. Some programs are strictly academic and designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year institutions with bachelor's degree programs. Others are more practical or applied and provide career training in specific areas. This second type of school does not usually preparestudents for transfer to a four-year institution, though some of the credits earned may still be accepted by a four-year institution.A small number of two-year colleges offer the final two years of the undergraduate program only, awarding the bachelor‘s degree rather than the associate degree. Most community and juniorcolleges are publicly supported by the state and local communities, although some are private. Some private two-year colleges areproprietary or run for a profit.Four-year colleges and universitiesThe college or university (sometimes called an institute when it emphasizes engineering or other technical courses) awards the bachelor's degree. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees are the most common, but a variety of bachelor's degrees by other names are also granted. Bachelor's degrees are typically awarded following successful completion of a four-year, full-time program. Programs in some fields of study or at some institutions can be longer than four years. There are both public and private colleges and universities in the United States, and some have an affiliation with a religious denomination.Public versus privatePublicly supported schools are generally state colleges or universities or two-year community colleges. These institutions receive most of their funding from the states in which they are located. Private schools generally have higher costs because they do not receive the sameprimary funding from the state and federal government. Colleges and universities with religious affiliations are private. Most of them are Christian (Roman Catholic and Protestant), although there are a small number of Jewish and Islamic institutions. In most cases, you do not need to be a member of a particular church or religious group to attend a religiously affiliated college and enrollment in these institutions will not usually interfere with your own religious views. Privately owned colleges Proprietary institutions are different from other types of schools in that they are privately owned and run for a profit. They are "educational businesses" that offer services and courses similar to those at other institutions, but you need to be very careful and research their accreditation status. Their programs tend to be technical and pre-professional courses of study.Almost all the colleges in the United States are now coeducational, which means that both men and women attend. There are also a small number of single-sex schools, some for men and some for women. Faculty, administration, and staff members will likely be of both sexes at any college.Words and Expressions1.a little bit有点He was a little bit under the weather. , 他生病了。
