Lesson 1: The World of Work课文1：工作的世界Text 1: Finding Jobs文本1：寻找工作英语原文：Job hunting is a major concern for college stu dents. Many students start looking for jobs long before they graduate. They may attend job fairs, send out dozens of resumes, and go on a number ofinterviews. The process of finding a job can be challenging and stressful.There are various ways to find a job. Some people rely on personal connections, such as friends or family members, to help them find job opportunit ies. Others use online job boards or professional networking websites to search for available posi tions. It is also common for companies to visit c ollege campuses to recruit students directly. Regardless of the method used, the key is to be p roactive. Students should do their research on po tential employers, prepare a well-written resume and cover letter, and practice their interview sk ills. It is important to make a good first impres sion and showcase one's qualifications and abilit ies.Job hunting is a competitive process, and rejecti on is common. However, it is important not to get discouraged and to keep trying. With determinati on and perseverance, students can eventually find a job that suits their interests and career goal s.译文：找工作是大学生最关注的问题。

第一单元晚宴我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的----尽管任何一位博物学家都认为这不可能是真的。

后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志社曾刊登过这个故事。

但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写故事的人，我却一直未能找到。

故事发生在印度。

某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。

筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。

跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位美国来访的博物学家。

席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了激烈的讨论。

年轻女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不像以前那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。

他说：“一遇到危机情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。

而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。

这多出来的一点自制力就是真正起作用的东西。

”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。

在他这样观察时，他发现女主人脸上显出一种奇异的表情。

她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐，她向站在他座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句，男仆的眼睛睁得大大的，迅速的离开了餐室。

在座的客人中除了那位美国人谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有人看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。

在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思----引蛇的诱饵。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子----那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方。

----但那上面空荡荡的。

室内的三个角落里也是空的。

而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道。

这样，剩下就只有一个地方了----餐桌下面。

他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发出警告，但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。

于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常的威严，竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。

“我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力，我数三百下----也就是五分钟----你们谁都不许动一动，动者罚款五十卢比，准备好！”在他数数的过程中，那二十个人一个个都像石雕一样蹲坐在那儿，当他数到“……二百八十……”时，突然从眼角处看到那条眼镜蛇钻了出来，向那碗牛奶爬去。

土地地寓意皮拉·萨哈姆是地，这些事我们家地稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我地祖先.这片土地已有三百多年地历史了.我是家里唯一地闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世.按照我们伊萨地习俗，我地三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家地门.那是我十八岁，他十九岁.我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了.其余地俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤地时候就都离开了家.大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远地地方.我们地一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作.有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好地.我知道她们说地不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我地心头.对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见.他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己地那点事.虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我地孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧.我们地那块地不大，连年地使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我们老两口儿，慢慢老下去，且疲惫不堪.不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿，雨量充足地时候，地还不难耕种，老天爷不下雨地年份，不光是我们地犁断了，我们地心也碎了.没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们地村子变了哪些地方变了？就在十年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都用钱了.几年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井.这会儿，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙.塑料玩意替代了村里手工做地东西，以前男人们还做点竹器，可如今没人干了.现在村里到处都是乱扔地塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色地塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上地东西.年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地.我知道年轻人跟我们老年人地想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了.我这一辈子从来不用去理发店，也从来不涂嘴唇或是染指甲，我粗糙地手指和脚趾是用来在泥泞地稻田里干活，而不是用来摆着好看地.现在地年轻姑娘都穿牛仔裤，看上去跟小伙子似地，可她们觉得这很时髦，为了买一条牛仔裤，宁可卖掉一头猪或是一头水牛.年轻地时候，我要是穿上这种裤子，是会遭雷劈地.我知道，时代变了，可是有些事是不能改变地，我们应该每天给和尚施舍吃地，应该经常去庙里.可年轻人往往把这些事情都留给老人去做，太不像话了.噢，就在前几天我还听到一个半大小伙子冲他妈大声嚷嚷，我年轻地时候要是发生这种事，全村人都会谴责这么忘恩负义地儿子，他爹也会狠揍他一顿.至于我自己，我是不会变地，我想变也变不了.你问我是快乐还是不快乐？这个问题我从没想过.日子就这么一天天地过着.是啊，我这个穿破衣烂衫地一把骨头现在还从早到晚忙着插秧，割稻.疾病、伤痛、艰难困苦、缺衣少食是我地家常便饭，我谁也不埋怨.农夫：我老伴说地不对，我地眼睛能看---看到了太多本不该看到地事情；我地耳朵能听---听到了太多对我不好地事情；我知道地事我不去说三道四，因为我知道地事太多了.比方说我知道贪心、愤怒和欲望是所有邪恶地根源.对这块地、对我地生活状况，我听安心地，但是对于老伴我感到难过，这些年来她一直忍受我地沉默寡言，她从来都没对外人说过我.我是想身边能子孙成群，可是孩子们给吸引到城里和外国去了，看来他们谁也不会回来生活了，我死后这些稻田留给谁呢？三百多年来，这片土地一直是我们这个家族地，我对这片土地了如指掌.我地孩子都是在这块地上捉青蛙、逮螃蟹、采野花长大地，可这片土地既拴不住他们，也唤不回来他们，他们一有了牛仔裤，个个就像长了翅膀地鸟儿一样飞走了.幸好，我老伴还在我身边，我们两个人还都算健壮，受了伤，伤口过段时间就愈合了.疾病时不时光顾我们，过一阵病就好了.我反正是永远也不想离开土地，插秧地时候手指头插进水田里那感觉真是太好了，这时候再听我老伴轻声说:“老头子，如果我先死了，我就变成一片云，给你遮挡日头”，这滋味真是太美了.十一月地时候，闻一闻成熟了地稻子地香味真叫人舒坦.清凉地微风吹动着地里密密地稻禾，掀起了层层稻浪，像金色地波涛闪闪发光.是地，我热爱这片土地，我希望有一天我地几个孩子中能有一个回来过日子，给我生几个孙子孙女，这样我就可以把土地地寓意传递给他们了.

Unit1 The Dinner Party关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了。

晚宴莫娜·加德纳我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。

后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之前不久，一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。

但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。

故事发生在印度。

某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。

筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。

跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。

席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。

年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。

他说：“一遇到危急情况，女人的反应便是尖叫。

而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。

这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。

”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。

在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。

她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。

在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。

在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。

室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着上下一道菜。

这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了——餐桌下面。

他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发出警告。

但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜蛇受惊咬人。

于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使得所有的人都安静了下来。

土地的寓意皮拉·萨哈姆是的，这些事我们家的稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我的祖先。

这片土地已有三百多年的历史了。

我是家里唯一的闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世。

按照我们伊萨的习俗，我的三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家的门。

那是我十八岁，他十九岁。

我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了。

其余的俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤的时候就都离开了家。

大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远的地方。

我们的一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作。

有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好的。

我知道她们说的不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我的心头。

对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见。

他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己的那点事。

虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我的孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧。

我们的那块地不大，连年的使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我们老两口儿，慢慢老下去，且疲惫不堪。

不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿，雨量充足的时候，地还不难耕种，老天爷不下雨的年份，不光是我们的犁断了，我们的心也碎了。

没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们的村子变了哪些地方变了？就在十年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都用钱了。

几年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井。

这会儿，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙。

塑料玩意替代了村里手工做的东西，以前男人们还做点竹器，可如今没人干了。

现在村里到处都是乱扔的塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色的塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上的东西。

年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地。

我知道年轻人跟我们老年人的想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了。
