Unit 10 Reflections on Life

I. Reading questions

1. How did the author explain his curiosity and its importance in his life?

The author thought he might inherit his curiosity from his grandfather who

came to America alone at the age of 16. I suppose the author thinks curiosity plays

an important role in his life since he said, “All my life I have been motivated by

curiosity.”

2. The author thinks he knows himself and spends time reflecting. Have you ever thought

carefully about your past and your future? Do you think this kind of thinking is necessary in

life?

Yes, I have ever thought carefully about my past and my future. I think it is absolutely

necessary to think about them because by doing so we can learn from our past experiences and

profit from our mistakes. And we can set goals and make plans for the future. It will help us

avoid making the same mistakes and have a brighter future.

3. Why does the author take interest in human mind?

Because he is more interested in human nature and he has found that lack of

communication would lead to the end of civilization.

II. text structure

1. Introduction (Para. 1)

I feel surprised upon becoming 50 years old.

2. Different aspects of my life (Para. 2-13)

A. My mind (Para. 2-5)

All my life I have been motivated by curiosity. (Para. 2)

At the age of 50 my mind is better than ever. (Para. 3)

What I know, compared with what I do not know, is like a grain of sand by the sea.

(Para. 4)

I know my limitations ever better than my capabilities. (Para. 5)

B. Meaning of life (Para. 6-7)

I believe that the individual life can be filled with meaning only through love and

work of one’s choice. (Para.6)

I have realized my dream of becoming a reporter and then an author. (Para.7)

C. Attitude towards myself and others (Para. 8-11)

The conflict of man with himself is the most troublesome. (Para. 8)

I think I know myself better than most people because I spend more time studying

myself than anything else. (Para. 9)

Human beings are more alike than different. (Para. 10)

I get along better with others because I expect less from them, too. (Para. 11)

D. My interest in human nature (Para. 12-13)

One of the reasons for my regrets is that nothing interests me more than human

nature. (Para. 12)

I’m rather well equipped to probe the mysteries of the human mind. (Para. 13)

4. Conclusion (Para. 14)

Failures of communication between human beings will lead to the end of civilization. III. sentence study

1. How do I feel upon becoming 50 years old? Surprised. Surprised that I should live

so long. Surprised that it should seem so short. Surprised that I am not famous.

Surprised that I should be surprised because I am not famous. (Line 1)

在第一段里作者连用了六个 “surprised”以感叹人生，省略了(I felt)

surprised that…, 同时也构成了平行排比结构，突出地表现了作者人到五十依然保持了强烈的好奇心和求知欲。

2. How do I feel upon becoming 50 years old? Surprised. Surprised that I should live

so long. Surprised that it should seem so short. Surprised that I am not famous.

Surprised that I should be surprised because I am not famous. (Line 1)

惊奇。惊奇的是我竟然活了这么长。惊奇的是50年竟然会这么短。惊奇的是我默默无闻。惊奇的是我竟然会因为没有成名而感到惊奇。

3. 本文较多使用了英语修辞，请判断下列句子所使用的修辞格：

I can concentrate with the intensity of a beam of sunshine focused through a

magnifying glass. (Line 9)

This is a metaphor. The author means that he can concentrate with great

intensity. The intensity of his concentration is compared to that of a beam of

sunshine shining through a magnifying glass.

译文：我能像放大镜将一束阳光聚焦那样来聚精会神。

4. My curiosity burns brighter. (Line 13)

This is a metaphor. The author means that he becomes more curious than ever.

His curiosity is like a fire that burns with more intensity and thus becomes brighter.

译文：我的好奇心越来越强烈了。

5. What I know, compared with what I do not know, is like a grain of sand by the sea.

(Line 15)

This is a simile. The author recognizes the limitations of his knowledge and

stresses the immensity of his ignorance.

译文：我所知的与未知的相比，就好像沧海一粟。我不能肯定世间是否有绝对事物。

6. When she dies an ocean of tears will flow. (Line 28 )

This is a metaphor and hyperbole. The author means that when his wife dies,

many people will weep. Their tears are compared to an ocean.

译文：她若一旦谢世，人们必将泪流成河。

7. It is as though nerve endings had lost touch with one another. (Line 71)

This is a simile and personification. The author compares the failure of

communication to disconnected nerve endings. The phrase “lose touch with” is

used to describe people who are no longer communicating with each other, so this

sentence involves personification.

译文：就好像神经末端已经彼此失去了联系。

Unit 10 Agriculture

Farming for the Future

[1] Every year, more people face poverty and hunger and more of the earth's

resources are ruined. The problems are enormous, but many experts believe that the

situation is not hopeless. The solution will require big changes in how we think about

agriculture, food, and our planet.

[2] First of all, farmers everywhere need to develop methods that are less destructive

to the environment. The change from single crop farming to a mixed crop system would

be one important step. The planting of several different crops improves the soil and helps

prevent erosion. Erosion could also be prevented by planting trees to protect the fields

from the wind. Another way farmers could improve the soil is to avoid deep plowing. In

fact, only a slight plowing is necessary if proper methods are used.

1. An Introduction to Personality

In a general sense, the term “personality” refers to all the personal and moral characteristics

that determine the way a person thinks, feels and acts in his or her social and personal relations.

These traits include a vast variety of attitudes and attributes, such as: shyness, generosity,

patience, flexibility, sadness, humor, cheerfulness, selfishness, independence and aggressiveness.

Most people are a mix of positive and negative traits. Personality traits that are valued in one

culture may be frowned upon in another culture.

Most research tends to suggest that our basic personality is inherited but that many factors

shape and mould our personality as we grow mature.

Recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses is an important step in the process of personal
