One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.美国人的立场可以概括起来这么说，我们比中国人更重视创新和自立。

大学英语综合教程2 第三版课后习题Unit 1Passage A课文翻译牛津大学牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府之一。

牛津大学始建于12世纪。

它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。

牛津大学有16 300多名学生（1999 — 2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一，来自130多个国家。

5个私立学院中，有3个只招男生。

学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。

牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。

大部分管委会成员都被称为“导师”，或学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。

每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，选举自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。

大学提供一些图书馆、实验室及其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。

牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。

辅导课是指导师每周与1到2名学生见面一次。

学生如需专业指导，还可约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。

学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。

While we shouldbe careful to avoid the difference, they do appear to exist. In China,for example, greater is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, , place more emphasis on creativity in youngchildren, leaving them to , skills later. American parents tend to avoidrushing in to their children as they try to a task,thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Suchan approach can, , be mistaken for one’s parental dutiesby those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantage, and it may well be to search fora , method that would combine the best of both worlds.The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one.Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means toan , rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese studentsmay not well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to real life challenges and issues, they are more than in resolving mostof them, as they are with their strong skills. The U.S. system may be to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that may dodamage to the big bulk of the of the student body. The Chineseeducation system is not perfect, but it dose produce a workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge skill focus is the singlebiggest force driving the rise of China as a country.If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was .Most of what he owns is rather and he will readily admit to the bottom income . Yet he would that he is poor, for hefeels that his life is full of less riches. Rather than devoting himselfto the of money before all else, he the pleasures offriendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make himfeel in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurtwhen he remembers the departure of a girlfriend who did not share hisviews. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his on helpingthe poor through collecting each Christmas.How does spending connect to happiness?One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption’. The idea is that the richdon’t accumulate wealth in order to it. Rather they accumulate wealthin order to display it, and their happiness is by their neighbors’envy.As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “luxury fever”- familieswith incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with$70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on.It’s just common sense. It’s impossible for a piece ofpaper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feelingof or power money brings.A recent survey that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richestAmericans and the Maasai of East Africa are almost satisfied.

Nearly 40% of these children tospeaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that theirchildren had been meeting with strangers.Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and18 delete the search history from their browsers in an to protect theirprivacy from their parents. Common filtering software may be effective,since children will access what they are looking for elsewhere – at a friend’shouse, an internet café, or school. One problem lies in the fact that parents don’tknow much about using popular online software and chat programs, andTo have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge onthe parents’part may be no from the situation before the arrival of theweb. Parents don’t know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same that they don’t know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.With the we can escape into another world at the of abutton. For many this world is a dream come true. They find they cando away with the daily and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a Internet is slow and everythingat a snail’s space. The computer does not your messages nor does itout. Still others, who get the virtual world, may findcommunicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. they feelthis so strongly that they have to from real human contact, hurryingto get back to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Franciscoand the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north of Mendocino;its closestto the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east.Federal Express doesn’t here on Saturdays.But there is Internet here. It enables me to work at home, writingcomputer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students andhistorian to conduct research. It local businesses –inns, music stores,driving schools – to reach new. It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the ofwebsites and chat rooms.In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries andschools, you could argue that the Internet more benefits to small townsthat it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in manysmall towns and areas are unable to keep up with the development of technology.3.Translation (Chinese => English)1)背离传统需要极⼤的勇⽓。
