U2 AA child's clutter awaits an adult's return 儿时百宝箱老大归家梦I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, tooexpensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gas efficiency andeasy to park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could.我看着她在车道上倒着她的新卡车。

车太大，而且太贵。

她就是不愿意考虑买辆开起来省油、停起来省心的实用型汽车。

我想，原因在我。

她买这辆车就是为了让我看看她的能耐。

"I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"“我18 岁了，”她经常这样对我说，以至于听得我牙都疼了。

“我是成年人了！”I thought, is that true Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changedbetween yesterday and today ？我心想，真的吗昨天你还在看动画片呢。

今天和昨天又能有多大的变化？Today she's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.今天她走了，远离我去寻求成年人的独立。

Unit 2 Text A The humanities: Out of date?1 When the going gets tough, the tough take accounting. When the job market worsens, many students calculate they can't major in English or history. They have to study something that boosts their prospects of landing a job.2 The data show that as students have increasingly shouldered the ever-rising cost of tuition, they have defected from the study of the humanities and toward applied science and "hard" skills that they bet will lead to employment. In other words, a college education is more and more seen as a means for economic betterment rather than a means for human betterment. This is a trend that is likely to persist and even accelerate.3 Over the next few years, as labor markets struggle, the humanities will probably continue their long slide in succession. There already has been a nearly 50 percent decline in the portion of liberal arts majors over the past generation, and it is logical to think that the trend is bound to continue or even accelerate. Once the dominant pillars of university life, the humanities now play little roles when students take their college tours. These days, labs are more vivid and compelling than libraries.4 Here, please allow me to stand up for and promote the true value thatthe humanities add to people's lives. Since ancient times, people have speculated about the mystery of those inner forces that drive some people to greatness and others to self-destruction. This inner drive has been called many things over the centuries. The famous psychologist, Sigmund Freud, called it the "unconscious mind" or, more familiarly, "instinct".5 From the beginning of time, this inner aspect of our being, this drive that can be constructive or destructive, has captured our imagination. The stories of this amazing struggle have formed the basis of cultures the world over. Historians, architects, authors, philosophers and artists have captured the words, images and meanings of this inner struggle in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions. These men and women developed artistic "languages" that help us understand these aspirations and also educate generations. This fertile body of work from ancient times, the very foundation of civilization, forms the basis of study of the humanities.6 Studying the humanities improves our ability to read and write. No matter what we do in life, we will have a huge advantage if we can read complex ideas and understand their meaning. We will have a bright career if we are the person in the office who can write a clear and elegant analysis of those ideas!7 Studying the humanities makes us familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process. In an information economy, many people have the ability to produce a useful product such as a new MP3 player. Yet, very few people have the ability to create a spectacular brand: the iPod. Most importantly, studying the humanities invests us with great insight and self-awareness, thereby releasing our creative energy and talent in a positive and constructive manner.8 Perhaps the best argument in favor of the humanities is the scope of possibilities that are widely open to us. Did you know that James Cameron, world-famous director of the movie, Titanic, graduated with a degree in the humanities ? So did Sally Ride, the first woman in space. So did actors Bruce Lee, Gwyneth Paltrow, Renee Zellweger and Matt Damon. Dr. Harold Varmus, who won a Nobel Prize for Medicine, studied the humanities. Even Michael Eisner, Chairman of the Disney Company, majored in the humanities. Famous people who studied the humanities make a long list indeed. It's easy to see that the humanities can prepare us for many different careers and jobs we can undertake, whether medicine, business, science or entertainment. If we study only mathematics, it's likely we will be a candidate only for jobs as a mathematician. If we include studying the humanities, we can make breakthroughs on many barriers and are limitedonly by our effort and imagination.9 Of course, nowadays, if we study the humanities alone, we are liable to miss many opportunities. Each one of us needs to become as technically and professionally skilled as possible to helpmeet the needs of modern life. In fact, increasingly a pairing of technical knowledge and inner insight is seen as the ideal in the establishment of a career. If I were the Dean of Admissions at a medical school and two people applied to our school, both having the required basic scientific courses, one a philosophy major and the other solely a pre-med student, the philosophy applicant would be chosen.10 In summary, the humanities help to create well-rounded human beings with insight and understanding of the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity. The humanities, the ancient timeless reservoir of knowledge, teach us to see things differently and broaden our horizons. They are as useful and relevant in our modern age as they have always been. Doesn't it make sense to spend some time in the company of the humanities, our outstanding an d remarkable treasure of knowledge? Who knows how famous YOU might be come!人文学科：过时了吗？1 当形势变得困难时，强者会去选学会计。

"8 故事通常到这儿就结束了.但有一次——后来我们知道那天是他结婚25周年纪念日——他穿着一件旧的毛衣,很自豪地站着,微笑着轻声说道:"告诉你们,我可是在26岁那年才第一次亲吻女孩子.她后来就和我结了婚."9 不管他是不是懂得浪漫,尼克莱知道什么是爱.他以一贯的幽默,默默的感恩,敏锐的感觉和真诚的态度为爱设立了奥林匹克般的标准.即使在我结束了滑雪生涯之后,我仍一直努力去达到这个标准.10 但他又从不娇惯我.二月里的一天,我头很疼,感到十分疲倦.我在一片空地上遇见了了他,大概在寒风中的雪地里滑了十五分钟后,我赶上了他,有点小题大做地说:"嘿,尼克莱,我感觉我要死了."11 "如果活到一百岁,人人都会死的," 他对我的痛苦无动于衷,态度坚决地接着说:"但你现在必须滑,滑,再滑."12 在滑雪板上,我照他说的去做.但在其他事情上我会反抗他.在一次经费并不宽裕的滑雪露营活动中,他让我们十个人挤在一个单身汉住的芬兰式屋子里.第一天我们醒来时发现尼克莱正在做早餐.然后我们坐在临时拼凑起来的椅子上,围着张小小的牌桌,用勺子很快地吃完早饭.吃完后,尼克莱把摞起来的油腻腻的碗向我和我唯一的另一个女队友前一推,专断地说:"女孩子们,现在去洗碗吧!"13 我把餐巾往地上一扔,向他骂道:"让该死的男孩子们去洗吧! 这不公平!" 他没再让我去洗碗,也没对我的大发脾气显得太在意.他只在滑雪时才显露出强烈的情感.14 训练的时候,他会跟着我们迈步的节奏大声发出指令:"对,就这样,一二三,一二三." 我祖父的一个好朋友——一位上了年纪的女士——看了尼克莱带我训练的录像带后问道:"他也教舞蹈吗"15 在训练时,我一刻不停地纠正着尼克莱指出的错误.每完成一个动作,我都会问他自己是否有了进步.16 "是的,还行.但如果膝盖能屈得更快些就更好了."17 "可我滑得够快了吗" 我坚持问他.18 最后他会皱起眉头说:"你得无数次地重复,动作才能达到完美." 他提醒我"必须有耐心",言语之间流露出"我已经告诉过你无数次了"的意思.19 尼克莱的耐心和我的勤奋使我在全国名列第四,并开始为奥运会季前赛做准备.但后来我没能被选拔参加2002年奥运会.20 去年夏天,我回去拜访尼克莱.他给我沏了茶······还自己洗了碗!我们坐在沙发上聊天.怀念起前一年的奥林匹克队,我一时沉默,回想起自己曾经获得的一切——很重要的一点就是我和这个穿着颇具热带风情衬衫,个子不高的男人之间形成了并不张扬但又牢不可摧的纽带.21 尼克莱教会我即使需要无数次的努力,也要有勇气,热情和严格的纪律来坚持下去.他还教会我为了能在这世界上生活一辈子而预先心存感激,并每天提醒自己:即便面临许多挑战,"现在心里有的必须是爱,爱,爱."。
