大学英语综合教程4Unit 1Text A人在自然界|亚历山大·斯伯金Nature nurtures mankind unselfishly with its rich resources. Yet, man is so carried away in his transformation of nature that he is unaware that it also has limitations and needs constant care. Now worn by the excessive demands of mankind, nature is unable to maintain the ecological balance needed. Humanity is faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate, the destruction of Mother Nature.人类生活在大自然的王国里。

他们时刻被大自然所包围并与之相互影响。

人类呼吸的空气、喝下的水和摄入的食物，无一不令人类时刻感知到大自然的影响。

我们与大自然血肉相连，离开大自然，我们将无法生存。

Human beings live in the realm of nature. They are constantly surrounded by it and interact with it. Man is constantly aware of the influence of nature in the form of the air he breathes, the water he drinks, and the food he eats. We are connected with nature by "blood" ties and we cannot live outside nature.人类不仅生活在大自然之中，同时也在改变着大自然。

However, it is through these challenges that we are able to grow, learn, and thrive.One significant example of a challenge that people often encounter is in their academic journey. As a freshman in university, many students feel the pressure to adapt to the rigorous demands of higher education. Assignments, exams, and time management become major obstacles that they must overcome. However, with determination and perseverance, students can flourish and succeed in their studies.Another challenge that individuals may face is in their personal relationships. Whether it be a dispute with a friend, a disagreement with a family member, or difficulties in finding a life partner, relationships often present challenges. Learning how to communicate effectively, compromise, and understand different perspectives are vital skills in overcoming these obstacles and maintaining healthy relationships.Furthermore, challenges can also arise in professional settings. From starting a new job to pursuing a career change, individuals often encounter obstacles in their professional development. However, with the right mindset and a willingness to learn, one can navigate these challenges and even turn them into opportunities for growth.In conclusion, challenges are an inevitable part of life. They test our resilience, foster personal growth, and provide opportunities for learning. Whether it be in academics, relationships, or professional pursuits, overcoming obstacles is essential for success. Embracing challenges allows us to broaden our perspectives, develop new skills, and ultimately thrive in all aspects of life.。

大学英语（一）Unit1课文译文和练习Unit One TextHow to Adapt to College Life Quickly课文译文如何快速适应大学生活当你第一次进入大学的时候，你会发现，大学生活和高中生活有很大区别。

在高中，我们总是依靠家长和老师帮助我们解决各种困难问题。

然而在大学，我们只能依靠自己。

除此以外，我们必须学会如何与同学、室友和睦相处。

几乎每个大学新生都经历过不同程度的紧张和焦虑情绪。

但是不用担心，现在给你一些建议，希望能帮助你尽快适应大学生活。

1、记住，不是只有你有这种情况。

你宿舍的每个人都有同样的情况。

和他们说说你的恐惧和焦虑。

他们可能也有同样的感觉，并且很乐意向你倾诉他们的感觉。

2、走出你的宿舍。

上大学的好处在于你可以与新的面孔一起重新开始生活。

他们不会知道你的过去，他们只会知道你希望他们知道的事情。

因此，尝试新的事物，不要害怕，试着展现新的个性。

弄清楚真正的自己，弄清楚你希望成为什么样的人，这是最佳的时机。

3、制定详细的学习计划。

学习计划应该包括：你的短期目标，每个阶段要阅读什么书籍，参加哪些课外活动，以及你每天的活动安排。

这会有助于你充分利用业余时间。

4、不要忘记享受大学生活！在大学里，要过得愉快，结交新朋友，和学习新知识。

而寄宿就是一个很好的方式。

和朋友们消磨时间，和学习伙伴一起努力备考。

做疯狂的事情，照相留念，分享有趣的故事----快活地渡过。

你只年轻一次！记住，你的朋友和你的父母都离你不远，只要你打一个电话就行。

记住，每个人的适应时间都是不同的。

从容以对，但最重要的是，学有所成。

Unit1大学英语综合教程1课后答案Unit1大学英语综合教程1课后答案Unit 1Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspiretheir children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such mo?ments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) The end winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/Contrast Chinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to do something, or teach by holding his hand teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems94 - Appendix I2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority to de?veloping skills at an early age, believing creativity can be promoted over time put more emphasis on fos?tering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterVocabulary1) insert 2) on occasion3) investigate 4) In retrospect5) initial 6) phenomena7) attached 8) make up for9) is awaiting 10) exception11) not... in the least 12)promote13) working on 14) in due course15) emerged1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of livingin the north of the country andthe south.2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exag?gerating thedifficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two ex?tremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assisLchildren in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of con?trol. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior wayAppendix I - 95 -to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.
