第三册UNIT 1威廉斯勋爵代价昂贵的贵族梦苏格兰托明陶尔——周六晚，在"牢骚酒吧"，村民依旧乐意向"威廉斯勋爵"祝酒，尽管这个头衔现在只能引来阵阵笑声。

如今他们就叫他"托尼"。

这个美丽的山村座落在苏格兰山区，总共只有320人，其中一些村民说，他们一直不太了解安东尼·威廉斯。

这位有钱的贵族说话和气，1986年和他穿着入时的妻子一同来到这里。

还有一些人说，他们的怀疑是与日俱增的，因为55岁的威廉斯先生总是西装革履地在周末出现，他买下了一笔又一笔的地产，给小村投入大量现金，独自一人使这个小村庄起死回生。

可是谁也没有料到这个事实：这个财源滚滚、举止友好的人并非什么勋爵，而是一名政府公务员。

他幻想自己是位苏格兰贵族，并从苏格兰场（即伦敦警察总署）盗用钱财来买这个贵族头衔。

威廉斯先生自1959年起效力于伦敦警署，官至财务部副主管，年薪65,000英镑。

大约两周前，后悔不已的他在法庭受审，被判监禁7年半。

据估计他在该村投入了近500万英镑的赃款，提供了43个就业机会。

如今他落难入狱，至少仍有部分村民支持他。

"我觉得这个人非常可爱，非常友好，非常体贴，一点也不傲慢。

" 70岁的乔吉·麦卡利斯特这样说。

他是当地博物馆馆长，家里人世代都在周围山上种地。

" 很难理解一个像他这样聪明的人会那样误导别人。

真是糟糕。

当然，这对我们村倒不坏，许多房产都修缮得很漂亮。

"距广场几家之遥，理发师唐纳德·科尔坐在自己的店里讲述人们是如何开始怀疑的。

" 每个人都猜疑钱是从哪来的，为什么他要把钱花在山沟里的一个小地方？老天，他就是等100年也收不回这些钱。

"依据法庭调查，威廉斯八年中共窃取了800多万英镑。

其中大部分钱来自一项由他单独管辖的秘密基金。

该基金本应用来支付间谍费用，以及开展对抗爱尔兰共和军的秘密活动。

Pre-reading ActivitiesBefore you listen to the passage1. Take a minute with a partner to match the sports in Column A with the playing areas in Column B. Then in Column C, list all the things (equipment, special clothing, etc.) that are necessary to each of the sports.Column Abaseballbowlinggolfrunningsoccer (football)tennisColumn Balleycoursecourtdiamondfield (pitch)trackColumn C______________________________Now listen to the passage2. Which sport is it about? Compare your equipment list with the equipment mentioned on the tape. What attracts you to the activities that you enjoy in your spare time? How important is it to you to "do them right"?So What's So Bad About Being So-So?Lisa Wilson StrickThe other afternoon I was playing the piano when my seven-year-old walked in. He stopped and listened for a while, then said: "You don't play that thing very well, do you, Mom?"No, I don't. My performance would make any serious music student weep, but I don't care. I've enjoyed playing the piano badly for years.I also enjoy singing badly and drawing badly. I'm not ashamed of my incompetence in these areas. I do one or two other things well and that should be enough for anybody. But it gets boring doing the same things over and over. Every now and then it's fun to try something new.Unfortunately, doing things badly has gone out of style. It used to be a mark of class if a lady or a gentleman sang a little, painted a little, played the violin a little. You didn't have to be good at it; the point was to be fortunate enough to have the leisure time for such pursuits. But in today's competitive world we have to be "experts" even in our hobbies.You can't tone up your body by pulling on your gym shoes and jogging around the block a couple of times anymore. Why? Because you'll be laughed off the street by the "serious runners" — the ones who run twenty miles or more a week in their sixty-dollar running suits and fancy shoes. The shoes are really a big deal. If you say you're thinking about taking up almost any sport, the first thing the "serious" types will ask is what you plan to do about shoes. Leather or canvas? What type of soles? Which brand? This is not the time to mention that the gym shoes you wore in high school are still in pretty good shape. As far as sports enthusiasts are concerned, if you don't have the latest shoes you are hopelessly committed to embarrassing yourself.The runners aren't nearly so snobbish as the dancers, however. In case you didn't know, "going dancing" no longer means putting on a pretty dress and doing a few turns around the dance floor with your favorite man on Saturday night. "Dancing" means squeezing into tights and leg warmers, then sweating through six hours of warm-ups, five hours of ballet and four hours of jazz classes. Every week. Never tell anyone that you "like to dance" unless this is the sort of activity you enjoy.Have you noticed what this is doing to our children? "We don't want that nerd on our soccer team," I overheard a ten-year-old complain the other day. "He doesn't know a goal kick from a head shot." As it happens, the "nerd" that the boy was talking about was my son, who did not — like some of his friends — start soccer instruction at age three. I'm sorry, Son, I guess I blew it. In my day, when we played baseball, we expected to give a little instruction to the younger kids who didn't know how to play. It didn't matter if they were terrible; we weren't out to slaughter the other team. Sometimes we didn't even keep score. T o us, sports were just a way of having a good time.I don't think kids have as much fun as they used to. Competition keeps getting in the way. The daughter of a neighbor is a nervous wreck worrying about getting into the besttennis school. "I was a late starter," she told me, "and I only get to practice five or six hours a week, so my technique may not be up to their standards." The child is nine. She doesn't want to be a tennis player when she grows up; she wants to be a nurse. I asked what she likes to do for fun in her free time. She seemed to think it was an odd question. "Well, I don't actually have a lot of free time," she said. "Homework and tennis and piano lessons kind of eat it all up. I have piano lessons three times a week now, so I have a good shot at getting into the all-state orchestra."Ambition, drive and the desire to excel are all great within limits, but I don't know where the limits are anymore. I know a woman who's been complaining for years that she hasn't got the time to study a foreign language. I've pointed out that an evening course in French or Italian would take only a couple of hours a week, but she keeps putting it off. I suspect that what she hasn't got the time for is to become completely fluent within one year — and that any lower level of accomplishment would embarrass her. Instead she spends her evenings watching TV and tidying up her closets —occupations at which no particular expertise is expected.I know lots of other people, too, who avoid activities they might enjoy because they lack the time or the energy to tackle them "seriously." It strikes me as so silly. We are talking about recreation. I have nothing against self-improvement. But when I hear a teenager muttering "practice makes perfect" as he grimly makes his four-hundred-and-twenty-seventh try at hooking the basketball into the net left-handed, I wonder if some of us aren't improving ourselves right into the insane asylum.I think it's time we put a stop to all this. For sanity's sake, each of us should vow to take up something new this week — and tomake sure we never master it completely. Sing along with grand opera. Make peculiar-looking objects out of clay. I can tell you from experience that a homemade cake still tastes pretty good even if it doesn't look perfect. The point is to enjoy being a beginner again; to rediscover the joy of creative fooling around. If you find it difficult, ask any two-year-old to teach you. Two-year-olds have a gift for tackling the impossible with enthusiasm; repeated failure hardly discourages them at all.As for me, I'm getting a little out of shape, so I'm looking into golf. A lot of people I know enjoy it, and it doesn't look too hard. Given a couple of lessons, I should be stumbling gracelessly around the golf course and playing badly in no time at all.

大学英语阅读教程Unit7howtobeascientist全文翻译第一篇：大学英语阅读教程 Unit7how to be a scientist全文翻译How to be a scientistGina KolataAsk most people – even students majoring in science – to describe the typical life of a successful scientist, and chances are they will describe a dedicated existence: long hours in the laboratory, toiling alone among racks of test tubes and beakers.But researchers say that nothing could be further from the truth.Indeed, they say, the irony is that to succeed in science, most people have to leave the lab completely.Leading biologists and chemists say they spend no time in the laboratory.Instead they write grant proposals, travel and give talks on their group‟s research;they think up ideas for their staff of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to work on, and try their best to motivate and encourage staff members to be creative and productive.Dr.Shirley, Tilghman, a molecular biologist at Princeton University, says that most people have no idea of the skills needed to succeed in science.“I get these undergraduates in my office saying they are trying to decide between medicine and science,” Dr.Tilghman said.“They say, …I really want to go into medicine because I want to be involved with people.‟ I just say, …my God.‟ The extraordinary thing about being a principal scientific investigator is that I should have been a psychology major.I do nothing but try to motivate people, try to figure out why they‟re not working hard.Most of biology is a profession where success depends to a large extent on how you work with people.”Some researchers say that the most valuable course work forscientists may not even be science.Dr.Ponzy Lu, a chemist at the University of Pennsylvania, says his worst memories of his days as an undergraduate at the California Institute of Technology were the humanities courses he and every other science major were forced to take.“We hadto write 500 to 1,000 words a week in essays,” Dr.Lu said.“I wasn‟t good at that kind of stuff.”But as soon as he become a successful scientist, Dr.Lu said he found that rather than puttering around the laboratory conducting experiments, he had to spend his time writing grant proposals, meeting deadlines.Dr.Lu said, writing “is about all I do.” And the dreaded essay writing at Cal Tech was “the most useful thing I learned.” Some scientists are delighted to leave the laboratory and find that they can finally shine when they are judged by their ideas and their administrative skills.Yet even people who feel this way are often loath to admit it, Dr.Lu said, because it is part of the mystique of science to say you love the lab.“It‟s like Jimmy Carter saying he lusted after women,” Dr.Lu said.“You can get in a lot of trouble saying things like that.”But no matter what they think of laboratory work, most researchers say that it was not until they were in graduate school, well on their way to becoming scientists, that they realized what the career path actually is.Dr.Kenneth Gross, a molecular geneticist at Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y., remembers well his epiphany.It happened when he was a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.One day, Dr.Gross was working happily in the lab next to a postdoctoral fellow, Dr.Arthur Skoultchi, who is now at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.Full of enthusiasm, Dr.Gross said, he remarked that “the most incredible thing is that hey paid you towork in a lab.” Dr.Skoultchi, he said, replied, “Enjoy it while you can,” and explained to Dr.Gross what lay ahead.Young scientists move up the ladder from graduate student to postdoctoral fellow to assistant professor to, they hope, recipient of a federal grant.From then on, their time in the lab rapidly dwindles to nothing.Dr.Lu explained that it was not so surprising that most successful scientists ended up as thinkers rather than doers.“That‟s the whole problem with big science,”he said.“You have to have an army of people to do the work.” But, he added, “Part of what makes a person become a scientist is the desire for influence and power.And the only way you can have that is to have a group of people working on your ideas.”A typical research group at a leading university has about a dozen people, paid for mainly by grant money either from the federal government, private groups like the American Cancer Society or companies, that the principal investigator raises.Dr.Lu said that although his salary is paid by the university, he must bring in ＄300,000 a year to run his lab.This includes paying for equipment and paying the budding scientists who perform the experiments.Graduate students earn about ＄12,000 a year, some of which, is paid by fellowship;the rest comes from grant money.Postdoctoral fellows receive about ＄20,000 a year.Some scientists run huge groups that have budgets equal to those of small corporations.Dr.Jerome Groopman, an AIDS researcher at Brigham and Women‟s Hospital in Boston, said his group of about 50 people had an operating budget of ＄2 million a year.“It‟s clearly a major problem for a lot of people,”said Dr.Tom Maniatis, a molecular biologist at Harvard.“Nowhere in your education are you trained to be a manager or administer.Suddenly you are faced with writing grants andkeeping track of spending.But the most difficult challenge is managing people.I don‟t think scientists are prepared to do that at all.”From the new york times , april4,1993.怎样成为一名科学家问大多数人来形容一个成功的科学家的典型生活，和机会，他们将在实验室中描述了一个专用的存在：时间长，独自之间的试管和烧杯架劳作。

U7 AWhen honesty disappears当诚实消失时"Is anybody truly honest?" As numerous accounts of cheating, lying, and fraud crowd our newspaper pages and TV news, it seems that honesty is a rapidly vanishing value. And the reports indicate that, around the globe, corruption and dishonesty are so widespread that the health and well-being of society are at risk. These reports include stories such as the students who faced criminal charges for selling in advance copies of a university final exam, a student who was expelled when he turned in a term paper with the purchase receipt for it still inside the pages, and a clerk who ran his own Christmas cards through the office postage meter and was found out when he sent one of the cards to the company treasurer! We have all read or heard accounts such as these, not to mention the stories of dishonesty amongst all layers of society as exemplified by consumers who steal and politicians who demand bribes. Travelers ripped off so many towels last year that it cost a major hotel chain $3 million to replace them. Especially troubling are the reports that dishonesty is increasing amongst student populations around the world.“有真正诚实的人吗？”我们的报纸版面和电视新闻充斥着不计其数的有关欺骗、说谎和诈骗的报道，诚实似乎已经成为正在迅速消失的价值观。

”──比尔·盖茨他是当今世上最著名的商人、最有钱的富豪──1997年他的资产预计为400亿美元。

毫无疑问，他与托马斯·爱迪生、亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔以及其他改变世界的伟人属于同一行列。

这个自称为“黑客”的人主导着个人计算机革命，并在这一过程中使整个世界现代化。

的确，将他划入任何其他行列，都可能大大淡化他对世界的影响。

盖茨的成功源自他的人格：他才华横溢、冲劲十足、争强好胜，这些加在一起令人难以置信，有时甚至令人畏惧。

当这位董事长兼首席执行官走过微软大楼的走廊时，他身边的人和物就像被打开了电源，充了一万伏电。

盖茨树立了榜样，微软的员工紧随其后。

他的工作安排暗示着他对员工的期待。

这位“微软校园”的“校长”经常每天工作16小时。

的确，如果说盖茨的风格与他人有别的话，那就是他把握时间的技能。

节约时间、精力充沛和专心致志是他的突出特点。

他一会儿充当技术时代的国际代言人，一会儿在微软总部谋划经营策略，充分利用每一分钟，最大限度的开展工作。

他总是准时，总是处于高速运转状态，他习惯利用白天的点滴空闲进餐、与朋友交谈或娱乐。

微软人笑话他的接待员是天底下最勤奋的人。

事实上，他有几个接待员。

他或许需要有人专门安排他的旅行计划和去国外的签证。

说到旅行，他节约钱和时间也是出了名的。

出差时，他尽可能坐普通民航飞机;为了节省时间，他从不托运行李。

接待他的东道主也发现，他住在城里时他们很省钱。

他的时间表上没有计划旅游的时间，日程表上也没有游览或观光计划。
