This book is intended to help you to improve stil l further so that you can reach the point where people will say that your English is fluent---a level measured by the Cambridge Proficiency Examination, for example.You will see my personal opinion of the difficulties ahead of you and how you can best solve them in Lesson 4 of this book. But it may be helpful for me to make the main points of my argument here, before you start. In the first place, there is still quite a long way to go before you can feel sure that your English is fluent. You have probably noticed yourself that while you can express your ideas in English clearly enough, you only know one way of saying or writing them.You would like to be able to vary this a little, depending on the company around your or the situation you find yourself in, just as you would in your own language. In the same way, while you understand your teacher perfectly, you may sometimes not find it so easy to follow ordinary English or American people who do not choose their words so carefully. One object of this book is to “expose”you to as many variations of modern English as possible and help you to use them yourself in the appropriate circumstances.The second main point I want to make here is that becoming fluent in English does not really depend on learning a lot of more complicated structures than you have studied already. Good modern English is not made up of long, complicated sentences. It largely depends on the correct use of structures and the connecting words and phrases that link sentences together. You will find some of these in the paragraphs above --- “that is to say,”“for example,”“in the first place,”“in the same way,”and so on. This book tries to demonstrate by examples the use of such phrases so that you will be encouraged to try them out for yourself in your own speech and writing.Unit 2To most people, education means schools. But education has many other sources as well—the home, the farm, museums, television, advertisements, newspapers and magazines, sports events and practical experience. When one thinks of education, it is important to consider all these sources.Since ancient times certain questions have been asked about education. Different societies have answered these questions in very different ways. The following are among the questions:Who shall be educated? Most of the countries of the world offer beginning education to everyone. But opinions differ as to who should receive advanced education. Some countries select for advanced education only those students who have proved themselves to be ready for it. In the United States, the door to advanced education is kept open for everyone for as long as possible. Does this “water down” education by making advanced education “too easy”? Some people think so, but others do not.How should schools be organized? Some countries have a single system of schools for everyone with specialization possible within the single system. Others maintain specialized schools, some for students as young as 13. In the United States, theres are both public and private schools. The private schools tend to emphasize academic subjects more exclusively than the public schools, which generally offer a broader curriculum. Is it better to have different kinds of schools for different kinds of students? Should all children take the same amount of time to go through schools, or should the time be different for different children?The way those in charge of schools answer these questions depends on their beliefs about what schools are for.Unit 3In this book psycho-cybernetics, Dr. Maxwell Maltz explains the amazing results one educator had in improving grades of school-children by changing their self-images. He had observed that when they saw themselves as stupid in a certain subject (or stupid in general), they unconsciously acted to confirm their self-image. They believed they were stupid, so they acted that way. Reasoning that it was their defeatist attitude rather than any lack of ability that was defeating them, the educator set out to change their self-images. And he found that when he accomplished that, they no longer behaved stupidly!Maltz records how this same negative self-image kept a salesman from ever reaching more than a certain level of sales.。
大学英语精读5课后翻译答案(第三版)Unit 1 Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 2 1.

In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you st arted on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try t o learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeeda leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us. Unit 6 One day, we received an invitation to my father’s birthday party. Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for a reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just told her in the simplest terms that there would never be a reconciliation. My refusal obviously made Jenny very upset, but being a rational woman she didn’t quarrel with me. She just tried hard to persuade me. But this only filled me with fury, thinking that Jenny was just upsetting me deliberately. I must have gone out of my mind for I did something for which I would never forgive myself --- I yelled at Jenny and hurled the phone at her. But the instant I did it I regretted. And when I turned to look at her, she was already gone.I went out and searched everywhere but Jenny was nowhere to be found. I was scared to death, not knowing what to do next. Just as I was about to give up, I caught sight of her sitting in front of our hou se. I went up to her and said, “Jenny, I’m sorry…” but she cut off my apology and said, “Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.。

The first misunderstanding is that of the meaning of democracy.We think that democracy in education means gearing all courses to the middlelevel.We reject special programs and schools for superior students as undemocratic.(Paras.5)B. The second misunderstanding is that of the meaning of happiness.This misunderstanding results from our stress on comfort rather than onaccomplishment.The stress on material well-being has been reflected in the schools by too littlediscipline and too easy subjects.(Paras.6)C.

The Church banned Copernicus’ book, burned Bruno at the stake and imprisoned Galileo for popularizing Copernicus’ and his own scientific ideas.4. Every age has one or more groups of intellectual rebels who are persecuted, condemned or suppressed; but to a later age, they seem harmless and often essential to the improvement of human conditions.5. Most people have believed that the enormous success of science is due to the use of a scientific method by scientists and Galileo is known as the “Father of the Scientific Method”.6. Rather than the scientific method, the scientific attitude is the key to the successof science.7. Scientists must accept facts whether they like them or not and they must be good at changing their minds because the purpose of science is not to defend their beliefs but to improve them.8.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and valuesare no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4. In modern society, clothing styles change yearly. Some are in this year but will be out the next.5. More likely than not, what this “new” parenting idea brings about will be “super problems” rather than “super kids”.6.

In my view, he is so weak-willed that he could hardly give up smoking. To my surprise, he has easily cured himself of this bad habit.8. Demands on students have to be tailored to their interests and abilities.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have。

Paragraph Analysis: The Outline(Paras.3-6) We are losing this fifth freedom through three misunderstanding(Paras.4)A. The first misunderstanding is that of the meaning of democracy.We think that democracy in education means gearing all courses to the middle level.We reject special programs and schools for superior students as undemocratic.(Paras.5)B. The second misunderstanding is that of the meaning of happiness.This misunderstanding results from our stress on comfort rather than on accomplishment.The stress on material well-being has been reflected in the schools by too little discipline and too easy subjects.(Paras.6)C.

Rather than the scientific method, the scientific attitude is the key to the success of science.7. Scientists must accept facts whether they like them or not and they must be good at changing their minds because the purpose of science is not to defend their beliefs but to improve them.8.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you comeacross in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21. I don’t think it is realistic to turn to him for help. As a matter of fact, he himself is in need of help.2. More and more people are being awakened to the urgent need of combating air pollution.3. There are visible signs that some of the time-honored old traditions and values are no longer cherished by the young people.4. Many of us find the notion of a boundless universe hard to grasp.5. There being so many loopholes in the laws and regulations, it is little wonder that a handful of speculators got rich overnight.6. An unprecedented boom in tourism brought sudden prosperity to the small border town, which was formerly inhabited by only three hundred people.7. In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “I have failed three times”and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4.

In my view, he is so weak-willed that he could hardly give up smoking. To my surprise, he has easily cured himself of this bad habit.8. Demands on students have to be tailored to their interests and abilities.Unit 5Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeed a leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us.Unit 6One day, we received an invitation to my father’s birthday party. Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for a reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important case and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just。

You have spent four years supposing thatfailure leaves no record. You have learned thatwhen your work goes poorly, the painless solutionis to drop out. But start now, in the world___________which you go, failure marks you. Confronting difficulty_____by quitting leaves you changed. Outside the college, quitters are no heroes.With us you could argue about why your errorswere not errors, why mediocre work reallywas excellent, why you could take pride in routineand slipshod(不严谨的)presentation. Most ofyou, after all, can look back on honor grades formost of what you have done. So, here grades canhave meant little in distinguishing the excellentfrom the ordinary. But tomorrow, in the world towhich you go, you had best not defend errors but</p>learn them. You will ill-advised to demand________praise for that does not deserve it, and abuse those______who do not give it. For years we created an altogether forgiving world, in which whatever slight effort you gavewas all that was demanded. When you did not keep appointments, we made new ones. When yourwork came in beyond the deadline, we pretendednot to care. Worse still, when you were boring, we actedas if you are interesting. When you were garrulous ________ and talked to hear yourselves talk, welistened as you were saying something important. _________ When you were dull, we pretended you weresmart. When you were predictable, imaginative___________ and routine, we listened as if to new and wonderfulthings. And all this why?Inspite your fantasies, it was not even that we ___________ wanted to be liked by you. It was that we did notwant to be bothered, and the easy way was pretense: ________ smile and easy Bs.</p>Unite4I strongly disagree with some people’s assessment of the disadvantagesof children growing up without access to computers and the internet. Somehow, generations of people if all races and economic backgrounds Tried to succeed without computers. _________I am a child of the’50s and graduated from college in mid 1970s_______ without the aid of a computer or even a calculator. We used our brains to add and abstract and slide rules for more complicated math. We learned to spell words, not use spell-check; we learned to diagram sentences, not click on the grammar-check. We learnedpenmanship so out handwriting papers could be read.__________I grew up with two sisters on the “wrong side” of my hometown (you know, the poor side ).My parents graduated during the Great Depression with eighth grades of education and worker hard for meager_________ wages. We had a telephone, but we did not have television until 1968.I guess we were deprived. Did it affect me? No. My sister and I are successful because our parents struggled to scrape up for_____________ the tuition to send us to private schools. They cared enough to make sure we learned out factions, our spelling words an our sentence diagrams .They instilled in us the love of books and reading. I became computer illiterate at 30,.__________I an a curious soul, so I learn new applications that improve my work andhome environments. I am not in the dark ages when it comes to technology. I embraced it. But computers and software are simple tools. The are not answers to a deeper problem. Don’t blame the lack of computer and/or Internet access to poor student performance.__________ Computers and software will not make a student better if the basic skills and parenting involvement are not part if the equation. __________Get a grip,folks. Teach children to add subtract. Teach them to live education, to be curious about what’s around the bend,over the horizon.Teach them respect for our country’s values, the history. Teach them a sense between right and wrong. ________An old saying goes something like this: Give a man a fish and he eats today; teach him to fish and he will eat for life. Why not change it to read: Give a child a computer and she learns to double click. Teach her to read, write, spell and subtract, and the doors for knowledge open wide.________Unit7Without his wife Jane, Hawking has always emphasized, his career might never soared, She married him shortlyafter he had diagnosed with ALS, fully aware of the dreadful ,______ progress nature of the disease, giving him hope and the will to_______ carry with his studies.
