Unit1 The Dinner Party 晚宴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。

Unit2 Lessons from Jefferson 杰斐逊的遗训杰斐逊的勇气和理想主义是以知识为基础的。

他懂得的东西也许比同时代的任何人都要多。

在农业、考古学和医学方面他都是专家。

在人们普遍采用农作物轮作和土壤保持的做法之前一个世纪，他就这样做了。

他还发明了一种比当时任何一种都好的耕犁。

他影响了整个美国的建筑业，他还不断地制造出各种机械装置，使日常生活中需要做的许多工作变得更加容易。

在杰斐逊的众多才能中，有一种是最主要的：他首先是一位优秀的、不知疲倦的作家。

目前正在第一次出版的他的全集将超过五十卷。

他作为一个作家的才能很快便被发现了，所以，当1776年在费城要撰写《独立宣言》的时刻来到时，这一任务便落在了他肩上。

数以百万计的人们读到他写的下列词句都激动不已：“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的：一切人生来就是平等的……”Unit3 My First Job 我的第一份工作在我等着进大学期间，我在一份地方报纸上看到一则广告，说是在离我住处大约十英里的伦敦某郊区，有所学校要招聘一名教师。

我因为手头很拮据，同时也想做点有用的事，于是便提出了申请，但在提出申请的同时我也担心，自己一无学位，二无教学经验，得到这份工作的可能性是微乎其微的。

然而，三天之后，却来了一封信，叫我到克罗伊登去面试。

这一路去那儿原来还真麻烦：先乘火车到克罗伊顿车站，再乘十分钟的公共汽车，然后还要至少步行四分之一英里。

大学英语精读2第十二单元课文马克吐温的故事我呀，就跟你们唠唠马克·吐温这事儿。

我以前就觉得马克·吐温这人可有意思了。

我刚开始接触他那些故事的时候，就感觉像是走进了一个特别新奇的世界。

我记得我当时坐在我那小屋里，那小屋啊，就几平米大，桌子上堆满了书，灯光昏昏暗暗的。

我就捧着那本有马克·吐温故事的书，看着那些字儿，就好像马克·吐温这个人就站在我跟前儿似的。

他的样子我都能想象出来，那大胡子，就跟乱草似的，可眼神里透着机灵劲儿。

我就一边看一边自己乐，马克·吐温这人写东西就特别逗。

他写那些故事啊，就像他在跟你面对面唠嗑一样。

我跟你说啊，我有一回和我一朋友聊起马克·吐温。

我那朋友就说：“马克·吐温啊，他那些故事里的人都可怪了。

”我就立马反驳他：“你这就不懂了吧，那不是怪，那是真实。

你看咱们生活里啊，就有那些奇奇怪怪的事儿，马克·吐温就是把这些事儿给放大了，然后让咱们看个明白。

”我那朋友就挠挠头，不说话了。

马克·吐温写的那些冒险故事啊，我感觉我都能跟着他的主人公一块儿去冒险。

我仿佛能看到那密西西比河，河水啊，咕噜咕噜地流着，河面上有时候雾气腾腾的。

那些在河上的人啊，穿着旧旧的衣服，有的还戴着破帽子。

他们在船上忙活着，就像马克·吐温写的那样，每个人都有自己的小心思，每个人也都有自己的小乐趣。

有时候我觉得马克·吐温就像一个魔法师，他用他的笔，就那么一挥，就把那些故事变得栩栩如生。

我就特别佩服他这本事。

我也想啊，我要是能有他这本事就好了。

我也想把我身边那些事儿，那些人，都写得像他写的故事一样精彩。

我有一次去一个旧书店，我就在那儿翻找有没有马克·吐温的旧版书。

那书店里啊，一股子旧书的味道，灰尘在阳光里飞舞着。

我就仔细地找啊找，后来还真让我找着一本。

那书的封面都有点破了，但是我可高兴了。

我拿着那本书就像拿着个宝贝似的。
