But if I have t choose one as the most useful, I’d choose “keep a balance”. When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It’s important to keep a balance between life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2 Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Scripts:Sarah: Hi I’m Sarah. I’m a student advisor at a university. I know the first year of college is always difficult. You have to adapt to a new environment, and learn to do everything on your own. To help make your transition just a little easier, I’m going to interview some senior students on campus let’s see what advice they can give you.Sarah: Hi Jennifer. What do you think is important to a freshman?Jennifer: I think it is very important to go to class regularly. It sounds easy, but oversleeping and missing that 8 o’clock morning class is very common. Try to go to class on time and regularly. You will learn the material in class, get to know the professors, and make friends with your classmates. You will also get important information from the professors about tests and exams.Sarah: Mark, do you agree with Jennifer?Mark: Absolutely. My advice is: Find a good place to study. It may be your dorm room or a corner of the library or a quiet classroom, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done. If you have trouble concentrating in your dorm, you need to find another place.Sarah: Nancy, what is our advice for freshmen?Nancy: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” My advice is to get involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is that they miss home and they don't have a sense of belonging. The solution is to join a student organization, or a club, or a sports team. You will make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.Sarah: Excellent advice, Nancy. Simon, it seems you have something to say.Simon: Yes, I do. Well, I want to say you should keep a balance. College life is a mixture of social life and academic li fe. Don’t join too many student organizations or go to too many activities. Otherwise, you won’t have enough time to study. Of course, you should not become a book worm. The key is to keep a balance between fun and study.Sarah: They all give very useful tips. But let me add a few more. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions; take advantage of the learning resources on campus; stay healthy and eat right.I hope you will get the most out of your college experience.Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text11. The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2. The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3. By saying “sample them widely”, the president mean students should try may different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4. If we don’t challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don’t know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6. W should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which will enrich our life.7. The expression Now it is your turn” means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8. The president’s welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life , the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities we should take. The speech is very inspiring.Critical thinking1. A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in anumber of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas withpeople of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, andself-fulfillment.2.Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and thereforemore choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselves byachieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4.Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. Andthere are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be “ignorant”. The result would be that ignorant people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try “ignorance”, the cost would be even higher5.To sample widely and challenge my self, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and dowhat I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I wil attend unconventionallectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Language focusWords in use31 confidence2 explore3 emerged4 assume5 pose6 comprehensive7 resources 8 yield 9 inherited 10 transmitWord building4Words learned new words formed-uncover uncovereasy uneasy load unload-antapply applicant resist resistant account accountant -ifysimple amplify note notify quality qualify class classify51.classified2.assist3.resistant4.uncovered5.uneasy6.qualify7.unloading8.applicants9.simplified10.accountant11.notifiedbanked cloze61 D2 H 3A 4B 5M 6 F 7O 8 I 9 G 10 J Expressions in use71.got by2.make the most of3.in advance4.over time5.reap the benefits of6.all at once7.remind… of8.stand a chance of9.open the door to10.take pleasure insection Breading skills11.

Meantime, the father feels sad to see the child leave.2. Because it is in college that the child will find out what learning is about.3. The statement “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school” was made by Einstein. It means that the details you have learned or the facts you have remembered are not important. What is really important is the fact that you have learned how to learn and that you have developed a way of thinking and a sense of responsibility.4. the father thinks his child should take courses that will stimulate his interest and improve his intellectual capacity.5. what Steve Jobs meant was that in college, your passion will guide you to learn a lot of new and seemingly unconnected things; but later, those unconnected things will become connected and help you build your life and career.6. the father warns his child not to be upset by low grades. They are only letters and are not important.7. Genuine and sincere people can become our friends.8. The father is eager to see what his child will develop into, and what achievements his child will make in the future.Critical thinking41.I felt somewhat sad when the time came for me to leave my parents for college because I hadto leave them for the first time in my life. I missed all the comforts they provide for me at home. But in the meanwhile, I felt excited about my new experience of living on campus. For me, living on my own was an indication of independence and responsibilities. I was looking forward to this new and exciting leg of my life journey.2.My parents expect me to try my best in all aspects. They said to me when I left home forcollege, “Doing your best does not just mean you have to get straight A’s. it means you should work as hard as you can, develop and flourish socially, and enjoy life fully.” They have very highexpectations of me because they believe in me. They know that I have the motivation and ability to achieve the goals I have set.3..I like to be friends with people who have similar hobbies to mine. If we have similar hobbies,we will have a lot to talk about with each other. I also like to make friends with outgoingpeople because I am very shy.. I only make friends with people who are honest, polite and sincere. I don’t care whether we share similar ho bbies or interests or not. As long as he/she is a nice person, I’ll be happy to be friends with him/her.4.Actually, I think almost all courses can stimulate our intellectual capacity. To some people,courses that require them to solve problems, such as math, physics, and enginerring, can enhance their intellectual capacity. But to other people their intellectual capacity can be developed more by courses like music, philosophy, or literature, because they have to use their brainpower to think and seek answers since there are no right or wrong answers to many questions in these fields. Personally, I think learning something new will definitely stimulate my intellectual capacity, so I’m going to take some courses both in arts and science.5.When I was a kid, my parents had to word away from home, so I had to stay with my relativesfor four years without my parents being around. As a result, I have learned to be very adaptable. Now, I an study and live in different environments. Being able to adapt is thus one of my dots.Language focus51.stimulate2.potential3.cultivate4.instinct5.confident6.assured7.curiosity8.participate9.approach10.capacity expressions in use 61.into2.like3.to4.up5.to6.up7.off8.insentence structure 71.Some people have pets and regard them as friends while other people dislike pets and thinkthey may cause diseases.\2.Jerry is very bold and likes taking risks while his brother is extremely careful and thinks thingsthrough before doing anything.3.Beijing is a busy city with a large population while my hometown is very quiet with a smallpopulation.81.It is Sam that/who thinks that the greatest achievement of last century was the landing ofmankind on the moon.2.It was during my undergraduate studies that I found out what my passion was.3.It is the curiosity and creativity of children that causes many educators to believe thatteaching should stimulate children’s interest in learning.Collocation91.make2.make3.do4.make5.make6.do7.do8.do新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U2Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities2.1. I am very close to my parents. In fact, we are like friends. I never keep a secret from them. When I have problems, I ask them for their advice. They give me directions about life. I like this relationship with my parents, and I think this is what parent-child relationship should be like.2. if I were not very close to my parents, I would do the following to improve our relationship:. find out where the problem is and talk to my parents about it;. do something that makes them happy;. call them often when I am away from home;. keep them informed of what I am doing;. be open and willing to communicate.Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text1.The daughter bought a large and expensive vehicle probably because her mother advised herto buy a practical and gas-efficient car. The daughter did this on purpose because at this age, she was being rebellious.2.The mother wants to show that although her daughter tries to show she is an adult, actuallyshe is not.3.The mother is hap that their daughter is dependent now, but on the other hand, she feelsdoubtful whether her daughter could take good care of herself.4.The mother wants to show that her daughter is not ready t e an adult yet.5.The mothe r puts her daughter’s books onto a single shelf to deal with later.6.The mother finds an envelope with items such as old family photographs, letters, greetingcards, and love notes they gave their daughter and sees the words “DO NOT THROW AWAY”marked on the envelope. Her attitude then changes.7.At first the mother decides to throw some of the items away and donate the rest to charity.After she sees the brown envelope, she changes her mind and puts the back in place.8.Because the mother knows that the sweet childhood memories will bring her daughter back.Critical thinking1.If I were the daughter, I would be very much touched when I read the article. I would call mymom to say sorry for acting rebelliously and would tell her how much I love her. Probably I would return home as soon as I can.2.I don’t think it is wise to refuse parents’advice or even do the opposite without a goodreason. Your parents care about you more than anybody else and always want to share their experience with you. If you follow their advice, you can at least learn from their experience and avoid making some silly mistakes if you don’t take their advice, you may still get experience-but in a hard way. Besides, your parents may directly point out our weaknesses that your peers w ouldn’t. so, listening to your parents’ advice can make you smarter and help you grow mature.3.Good communication will, in my view, help build a good relationship the following are myways to strengthen communication with my parents:. visit them whenever possible;. invite them to see what I am doing at college;. teach them to use new communication tools, such as WeChat and Skype, so that they can communicate with me wherever I am;. try to look at things from their perspectives; and. share with them my feelings, problems or ambitions.4.Although there is no standard pattern for a good parent-child relationship , some common。

He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructedno philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派).苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家,被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。

Cliff Young was a toothless 61-year-old farmer; he was wearing rubber boots, and was mcholder than the other runners.3. Other athletes neither believed it nor treated Cliff Young with respect.4.

He didn’t keep a single cent forhimself.8. Cliff Young is a brilliant example showing that ordinary people also have the inherent quality toachieve great results.Critical thinking21. I think teamwork, fair play and honesty, and excellence in performance best characterize thespirit of sports.. teamwork: Individuals can be strong on their own, but they can be much stronger in a team game.. fairpaly and honesty: Respect the rules of the fame. Be honest. Never cheat even though you know you won’t get caught.. excellence in performance: Always try your best. Show your efforts and best performance. 2. By playing sports, people can cultivate honesty, determination, and mutual respect.. Honesty: you will learn that having the sense of fair play and observing moral principles are essential in playing sports.. Determination: Be ready to face difficulties or frustrations: Be ready to face difficulties or frustrations and never give up. Ultimately, this could be the deciding factor when it comes to winning or losing.. Mutual respect: It is compulsory to play by the rules. You will learn to respect your opponents, fellow players, referees, and fans.3. No, winning isn’t the most important thing in sports. Winning is good, but there is much moreabout playing sports than winning playing sports brings about many benefits, the most important of which is to cultivate the spirit of sports. The spirit of sports is best reflected in the Olympic Creed, which reads: “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is no the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.4. I think it means that a true champion has great confidence and determination that we should nottake lightly. A true champion knows one must push his limits of endurance or strength or skill to achieve victory. A true champion never gives up.5. The story of Cliff Young is extraordinary and inspirational, from which I have learned a greatdeal. I have learned that we should pursue our dreams regardless of what other people have to say. An ordinary person can become a hero, and wonderful things do happen when we are determined and committed. Most important of all, we should believe in ourselves!Language focusWords in use31. annual2. contract3. distinction4. substantial5. furnished7. assemble8. react9. apparent10. magnificentword building4Words learned new words formed -ingboring borefascinating fascinateamuse amusing-ionExplode explosion Assume assumption Evolve evolution Compensatecompensation Contribution contribute-aryElement elementary Revolution revolutionary51. assumption2. fascinated3. explosion4. elementary5. compensation6. evolution8. bore9. contribute10. revolutionarybanked cloze61K 2D 3C 4B 5H 6O 7F 8M 9A 10GExpressions in use71. passed away2. left behind3. give away4. had no intention of5.
