Translate the passageTo improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.1. Translate the Sentences1) The company denied that its donations had a commercial purpose.2)Whenever he was angry, he would begin to stammer slightly.3) Education is the most cherished tradition in our family. That’s why my parents never took me to dinner at expensive restaurants, but sent me to the best private school.4) Shortly after he recovered from the surgery, he lost his job and thus had to go through another difficult phase of his life.5) In contrast to our affluent neighbors, my parents are rather poor, but they have always tried hard to meet our minimal needs.2. Translate the passageWith more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly/academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.1.

I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier. I can write, submit and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss. With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash. Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret.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.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have. My 1999 car shows the wear and tear of 105,000 miles. But it is still dependable. My apartment is modest, but quiet and relaxing. My clothes are well suited to my work, which is primarily outdoors. My minimal computer needs can be met at the library.In spite of what I don't have, I don't feel poor. Why? I've enjoyed exceptionally good health for 53 years. It's not just that I've been illness-free, it's that I feel vigorous and spirited. Exercising is actually fun for me. I look forward to long, energizing walks. And I love the "can do" attitude that follows.I also cherish the gift of creativity. When I write a beautiful line of poetry, or fabricate a joke that tickles someone, I feel rich inside. I'm continually surprised at the insights that come through my writing process. And talking with so many interesting writer friends is one of my main sources of enjoyment.I'd never realized how important daily routine is: dressing for work, sleeping normal hours. I'd never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company. I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging, why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse, crime, suicide.To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven't fled New York City. I try to at least get to the gym, so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week. I arrange interviews for stories, doctor's appointments -- anything to get me out of the house and connected with others. But sometimes being face to face is too much. I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable -- the noise of conversation in the restaurant, unbearable. I make my excuses and flee. I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the modem, the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune. I enter my password. The real world disappears.。

应用型大学英语第二册学习参考资料Unit 2StarterB. Listen to a passage and write down the words expressing negative feelings.TapescriptIt is said that the worst enemy can be in one's family. Having been born into a family does not mean everyone in your family will treat you as family. Sometimes, some people in your family may treat you as an enemy. There are some reasons for this.One reason would be jealousy, like a brother or sister being jealous of the other's achievements or attention one sibling is getting more than the other from their parents.Another reason would be spite, due to some family members feeling the need to hurt someone they want to see in a humble or inferior position in life.Some family members may be controlling and resent the person they are trying to control for resisting their influence over him/her.Sometimes, people just hate for no reason.Text AHarboring Ill Feelings1 There was once a little boy who dreamed of sailing around the world. He shared his dream with his mother and father, his teachers and schoolmates, his minister and his friends. But instead of embracing his dream and encouraging him to follow his heart's desire, they made fun of him, laughed at him and belittled his vision.2 "You will never sail around the world," his father scoffed. "When you are of age,I will get you a job at the factory where I work and you will follow in my footsteps."3 "But I don't want to follow in your footsteps, I want to sail on the open seas and visit new lands," the little boy protested. The father just laughed and shook his head, showing no faith in his son or his dream.4 The kids at school also made fun of him, so much so that he stopped sharing his thoughts and desires and kept them hidden within his heart, until the time arrived, when he could make them a reality.5 It seemed that the world's thumb was pressing the boy down throughout his adolescence. Within fifteen years, the boy became a man. He had worked two jobs night and day saving his money, so he could put a down payment on a sailboat.6 He answered an ad in the newspaper and set up a meeting with the owner ofa sailboat at the local harbor. The young man bought the boat on site and immediately paid the down payment and signed the sales agreement. He was so happy he began to share the news with everyone he knew. They were surprised, to say the least, and wished him well, while never admitting they were wrong. But he didn't care, because now, he owned his own sailboat.7 The next day, he went to the harbor intending to take his boat out on the water, when he saw official-looking men surrounding his newly purchased sailboat. The men were federal agents who were preparing to seize the boat. The man who sold the boat was a con man and drug runner and the boat was now being confiscated in a federal drug sting operation.8 The young man had lost his life's savings. He was horrified! The federal agents said they would be back in the morning to take possession of the boat and left without even showing concern for the young man's loss. As the young man was leaving, the harbormaster presented him with a bill in the amount of twelve hundred dollars for past docking fees, owed by the previous owner.9 This was the last straw. The young man cursed the harbormaster and left. He came back later with a can of black spray paint and painted over the sign on the boat, which displayed the boat's name, " Serenity". He then wrote the new name he was now giving the boat, "Ill Feelings". He got on the boat and startedto sail out to sea. If he could have the boat for only one night, then he was going to sail it.10 The harbormaster waved his arms and yelled for the young man to stop, that there was a storm coming. But the young man just cursed him again and continued heading out to sea.11 Sure enough, after sailing ten miles out a storm overtook the boat, tossing it from side to side. The young man frantically headed the boat back to shore. When he was a mile from the harbor, he radioed the harbormaster and asked him to prepare for his docking. The harbormaster told him no, that he wouldn't let him dock at his harbor.12 "Was it because of what I said," the young man said in desperation.13 "No, I never hold a grudge," the harbormaster said. "One thing is for sure…I never harbor ill feelings!"心怀怨恨1 有一个小男孩梦想着驾船环游世界，他把自己的梦想告诉给父母、老师、同学，告诉他的牧师和朋友们。

王守仁新一代大学英语综合教程2重点句子大学英语综合教程2课文重点句子翻译现在中国大学生参加志愿活动已成为常态。

Volunteering has now become the norm for college students in China.他们到社区为老年人服务，到山区助学，举办爱心捐赠活动，或到世博会（World Expo）或奥运会等重要国际活动担任志愿者。

The volunteers may provide community service for senior citizens，support students in mountain areas in education，organize fundraising activities to help those in need，or work for major international project such as the World Expo and the 01ympic Games.参加志愿活动有助于学生获取专业技能，丰富社会经验，提高道德水平。

Doing volunteer work is a useful way for students to enhance their professional skills and social experience as we11 as promoting their moral development.多数大学生都认为参与志愿服务是自己应尽的社会责任和义务，希望能做一些有意义的事情来回报社会，积极推动社会和谐发展。

The majority of college students believe that it is their duty and obligation to participate in volunteer activities.They hope that they can do something meaningful and promotethe development of social harmony.“不以物喜，不以己悲”出自北宋文学家范仲淹的名著《岳阳楼记》意思是凡事都要以一颗平常心看待，不因外部事物的好坏和自己的得失而或喜或悲。

1 ways of learningOne 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 shills 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.However,I do not want to overstate my case.There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific,technological and artistic innovations past and present.And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West.When any innovation is examined closely,its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent.But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid,and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals,the important question becomes this:Can we gather,from the Chinese and American extremes,a superior way to approach education,perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?2 valuesWalton set up a college scholarship fund for employees` children,a disasrer relief fund to rebuild employee homes damaged by fires,floods,tornadoes,and the like.He belived in cultivating ideas and rewarding success.“He`d say.’That fellow worked hard,let`s give him a little extra,’”recalls retied president Ferold F.Arend,who was stunned at such generosity after the stingy employer he left to join Wal-Mart.”I had to change my way of thinking when I came aboard.”“The reason for our success,”say Walton,in a company handout,”is our people and the way they`re treated and the way they feel about their company.They believe things are different here,but they deserve the credit.”Adds company lawyer Jim Hendren:”I`ve never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any for any length of time who wasn`t better off.And I don`t mean just financially,although a lot of people are.It`s just something about him-coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person.3 Father knows betterIf that sort of thing happened only once in a while,it wouldn`t be so bad.Overall,I wouldn`t want to trade my dad for anyone else`s.He loves us kids and Mom too.But I think that`s sometimes the problem.He wants to do things for us,things he thinks are good.But he needs to give them more thought because4 The Virtual WorldI`d never realized how important daily routine is:dressing for work,sleeping normal hours.I`d never thought I relied so much on co-workers for company.I began to understand why long-term unemployment can be so damaging,why life without an externally supported daily plan can lead to higher rates of drug abuse,crime,suicide.To restore balance to my life,I force myself back into the real World.I call people,arrange to meet with the few remaining friends who haven`t fled New York City.I try to at least get to thegym,so as to set apart the weekend from the rest of my week.I arrange interviews for storise,doctor`s appointments-anything to get me out of the house and connected with others.But sometimes being face to face is too much.I see a friend and her ringing laughter is intolerable-the noise of conversation in the restaurant,unbearable.I make my excuses and flee.I re-enter my apartment and run to the computer as though it were a place of safety.I click on the moderm,the once-annoying sound of the connection now as pleasant as my favorite tune.I enter my password.The real world disappears.5 Overcomeing ObstaclesThe runway felt different this time. It startled him for a brief moment.Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay.The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best.That`s only one inch off the National record,he thought.The intersity of the moment filled his mind with anxiety.He began shaking the tension.It wasn`t working.He became more tense.Why was this happening to him now,he thought.He began to get nervous.Afraid would be a more accurate description.What was he going to do?He had never experienced these feelings.Then out of nowhere ,and from the deepest depths of his soul,he pictured his mother.Why now?What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this?It was simple.His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense,anxious or even scared,take deep breaths.So he did,Along with shaking the tension from his legs,he gently laid his pole at his feet.He began to stretch out his arms and upper body.The light breeze that was once there was now gone.He carefully picked up his pole.He felt his heart pounding.He was sure the crowd did,too.The silence was dealening.When he heard the singing of some distant birds in flight,he knew it was his time to fly.6 Women,Half the SkyRacing the clock every day is such an exhausting effort that when I actually have a few free moments,I tend to collapse.Mostly I sink into a chair and stare into space while I imagine how lovely life would be if only I possessed the otganizational skills and the energy of my superheroines.In fact,I waste a good deal of my spare time just worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs.Sometimes I think that there modern fairy tales create as many problems for women as the old stories that had us biding out time for the day our prince would come.Yet superwomen tales continue to charm me.Despite my friend`s warning againsr being taken in,despite everything I`ve learned,I find that I`m not only willing,but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned.Why？I suppose it has something to do whih the appeal of an optimistic approach to life-and the fact that extraordinary deeds have been accomplished by determined individuals who refused to believe that “you can`t”was the final word on their dreams.Men have generally been assured that achieving their heart`s desires would be a piece of cake.Women,of course,have always believed that we can`t have our cake and eat it too-the old low-dream diet.Perhaps becoming a superwoman is an impossible dream for me,but life without that kind of fantasy is as unappealing as a diet with no treats.7 Learning about EnglishThat tolerance for change also represents deeply rooted ideas of freedom.Danish scholar OttoJespersen wrote in 1905,”The Eenglish language would not have been what it is if the English had not been for centuries great respecters of the liberties of each individual and if everybody had not been free to strike out new psths for himself.”I like that idea.Consider that the same cultural soil producing the English language also nourished the great principles of freedom and rights of man in the modern world.The first shoots sprang up in England,and they grew stronger in America.The English-speaking peoples have defeated all efforts to build fences around their language.Indeed,the English language is not the special preserve of grammarians,language police,teachers,writers or the intellectual elite.English is,and always has been,the tongue of the common man.8lazyBut this is just a tiny slice of the problem.The ability to perform even the simplest calculations is only a memory among many students I see,and their knowledge of world history or geography is nonexistent.Moreover,there is a chilling indifference about all this ignorance.The attitude was summed up by a friend`s bright,lazy 16-year-old son,who explained why he preferred not to go to U.C.L.A.”I don`t want to have to compete with Asians,”he said.”They work hard and know everything.”In fact,this youny man will have to compete with Asians whether he wants to or not.He cannot live forever on the financial,material and human capital accunulated by his ancestors.At some point soon,his intellectual laziness will seriously affect his way of life.It will also affect the rest of us.A modern industrial state cannot function with an idle,ignorant labor force.Planes will puters will jam.Cars will break down.。

unit11,然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideals of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of Jingling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.2，他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.3,我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。

I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned work in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood educations (especially in the art),and to throw light on Chinese attitudes creativity.4,我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。

With a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jingling Hotel.5,但关键在于，在这个过程中，我们试图让本杰明懂得，一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。

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.

我们两种文化的差异也可以从我们各自所怀的忧虑中显示出来。

中国老师担心，如果年轻人不及早掌握技艺，就有可能一辈子掌握不了；另一方面，他们并不同样地急于促进创造力的发展。

美国教育工作者则担心，除非从一开始就发展创造力，不然创造力就有可能永不再现；而另一方面，技艺可于日后获得。
