By way of encouragement,she would read to me in her wonderfully expressive voice as she churned the butter.It is a memory engraved on my heart .To my mind ,television could not hold a candle to(不能与...相比)her storytelling. Having been read to so often when young means that whenever i write anything now i always hear an inward voice speaking the lines ,a voice that i have come to rely upon.Developing a love for reading and writing is a role that parents can play in their children’s lives.Success in school and later careers depends on a large scale on having good reading and writing skills.These days we constantly hear about the important of literacy (读写能力;精通文学).What does literacy mean ?It’s the ability to read and write.Help your children learn to love reading.The key is to start early.Read out loud to your children regularly.Research shows that reading together just 30 minutes a day significantly improves your child’s reading ability.Aside from that,another important activity for promoting literacy is using the library .Get a library card for each child ,let them go often to select new books on their own .Check with the librarian to find what is appropriate(适当的).Take the time to look your daily activities and help your child see the connection to reading and writing.Cooking ,reading food labels ,playing word games,and writing stories can be helpful ,too. For children who don’t read much,it might take time to get used to reading aloud,and later,silent reading .Give it the time it deserves.You may get tired of reading the same stories again and again but it is that repetition(重复,背诵,副本)that is so important for your child.Children see adults around them writing and reading messages,notes,articles or books.This often makes them want to say their ideas out loud so you can write them down .At preschool age or older,children begin to write ,using their own invented spelling or best guess.They understand that writing helps them share important information and expriences.It is less important for children to spellthe words right than it is to enjoy the exprience.Correct spelling can happen a litter later.Part 7Translation中文:我的祖母不识字,可是她有一箩筐的神话和传奇故事。

After she had finished her housework, she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories, all the while rocking me in rhythm. These stories and her expressive face appealed profoundly to me.Having noticed my interest in stories, my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading. They bought many storybooks with illustrations, and whenever free, they would read these stories to me over and over again.

F or example, a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption of plant-based foods. T herefore, in the past decade, the AmericanDietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats, and to boost consumption of fruits, vegetables, and grains. M eanwhile, the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid which encourages a minimum of 3 vegetables and 2 fruit servings per day. H owever, many Americans still don’t meet /listen to these recommendations. A good case in point is Peter. H e developed a cardiovascular disease due to an excessive intake of animal fats. A lthough his doctor suggested he should adopt a healthy diet, such as eating plant-based foods, he was too stubborn to listen. H e said he couldn’t resist the temptation of dishes with meat and that meat would always feature prominently in his ideal diet. P eople’s lack of awareness of the need to eat more plant-based foods has heightened the government’s concern and it is launching a new campaign to increase public awareness in this area.

H e calls on all the teachers and students of the university to conduct themselves with honesty and never tell lies. H e believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.

全新版大学英语综合教程1(U1-U8课文及翻译)——U1Diary of a fresher大一新生日记Sunday星期日1 After a wearisome expedition by car from home, we arrive at my hall of residence, and I check in. The warden gives me a set of keys and a room number. My room is five floors up, and the lift has a sign on it, "Out of order". Finally, with my mother flushed and gasping for breath, we find Room 8, I unlock the door, and we all walk in.1 从家里驱车经过一段疲惫的旅程才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯上写着“电梯已坏”。
等我们终于找到8号房间的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,累得上气不接下气。
我打开房门,我们都走了进去。
2 After one minute, my father climbs out. The room is barely big enough for one, and certainly not big enough for the whole family.I can stretch out full-length on the bed and touch three walls with out moving a muscle.2 但爸爸马上就从里面爬了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定容不下。
我躺在床上,把全身伸直,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
新标准大学英语综合教程1(Unit1-Unit6课文翻译)UNIT1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后,我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。
我进去登记。
宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙,并告诉了我房间号。
我的房间在6楼,可电梯坏了。
等我们终于找到8号房的时候,妈妈已经涨红了脸,上气不接下气。
我打开门锁,我们都走了进去。
但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。
这个房间刚刚够一个人住,一家人都进去,肯定装不下。
我躺在床上,不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。
幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。
后来,爸爸妈妈就走了,只剩下我孤零零一个人。
周围只有书和一个箱子。
接下来我该做什么?星期一早上,有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。
我见到了我的导师,他个子高高的,肩膀厚实,好像打定了主意要逗人开心。
“你是从很远的地方来的吗?”他问我。
他边说话边晃悠脑袋,咖啡都洒到杯托里了。
“我家离爱丁堡不太远,开车大约6个小时,”我说。
星期二我觉得有点儿饿,这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。
我下楼去,得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。
我下到餐厅排进了长队。
“早餐吃什么?”我问前面的男生。
“不知道。
我来得太晚了,吃不上早餐了。
这是午餐。
”午餐是自助餐,今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。
前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上,付了钱,坐下来吃。
我再也不觉得饿了。
星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。
我醒时已经8:45了。
竟然没有人叫我起床。
奇怪。
我穿好衣服,急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。
我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。
她看了看我,问:“刚起床?”她是怎么看出来的?讲座进行了1个小时。
结束时我看了看笔记,我根本就看不懂自己写的字。
星期四今天是新生集会(社团招新活动)。
我和苏菲跑去看看我们能加入几个俱乐部。
我们俩都认为我们应该结交很多朋友,所以我报名参加了交谊舞俱乐部、人工智能协会、手铃俱乐部和极限运动俱乐部。
苏菲则报名参加了业余剧社和莫扎特合唱团。
我不知道我和苏菲还能不能继续做好朋友。

2The obituary didn't say that, of course. It said that he died of a coronary thrombosis--I think that was it--but everyone among his friends and acquaintances knew it instantly. He was a perfect Type A, a workaholic, a classic, they said to each other and shook their heads--and thought for five or ten minutes about the way they lived.当然,讣告上没有这样写。
讣告上写的是死于冠状动脉血栓证,但他的好友和熟识的人都心知肚明。
他们互相握着手,摇头叹息地说他是一个追求完美的A型血人,一个典型的工作狂,然后用几分钟时间来反思自己的生活方式。
3This man who worked himself to death finally and precisely at 3:00 A.M. Sunday morning--on his day off--was fifty-one years old and a vice-president. He was, however, one of six vice-presidents, and one of three who might conceivably--if the president died or retired soon enough--have moved to the top spot. Phil knew that.这个男人最终在星期天凌晨三点整工作致死。

My father died when I was too young to live on my own. The people of my hometown took over responsibility for my upbringing at that point.3.这些玩具必得在达到严格的安全要求后才可出售给儿童。
the toys have to meet strict safety requirements before they can be sold to children.4.作为新闻和舆论的载体(carrier),广播和电视补充了而不是替代了报纸。

What she did puzzled me and changed everything in my life, though I never shed a tear. My dad did what he could to keep our life as normal as possible,prompting us to remain grateful to God. The revisiting of the memory of my mom during my senior year of high school made me understand that I neededto grieve my mom so that I could move on to a new chapter of my life. I couldn’t find anyone to whom to discharge my emotions until I participated in Kathy Rudy’s Baldwin Scholars freshman seminar in Duke, where I learned to let go of my mother and was able to make sense of some of the things in my life. Notice of the speculation of my mother’s death left me shockingly unaffected, for the grief and the pressures imposed upon my life by my mom were already released. The whole issue taught me that people need to deal with the past by understanding it,then leaving it behind, and most importantly,acknowledging pain as an opportunity for growth.Reading and DiscussingLanguage in Use4.1) proclaim2) scar3) speculation4) discharging5) clarity6) contacted7) compromise8) grieved9) affirmed10) prompted5.1) If you don’t know what you want, you might end up with something you don’t want.2) It is the time of year when the island nations of the Caribbean normally expect their hotels and beaches to be crammed with sun-seekers.3) I can teach you about kindness, but I cannot impose graciousness on/upon you.4) When parents find it hard to let go of bitterness or anger, or if they are depressed about the changes brought on by divorce, they can find help from a counselor or therapist.5) As the preferred candidate for this job he has no shortcoming other than his lack of experience.6.in hand(在手头;在掌控中)a long the way(一路上;沿途)by hand(用手)on the way to …(在去……的路上)at hand(在手边)in the way(妨碍人的;挡道的)on hand(现有;在现场)out of the way(偏远的)by the way(顺便说说)under way(进行中)1) in hand2) by hand3) on hand4) at hand5) along the way6) out of the way7) in the way8) on the way to9) By the way10) under way7.For referencefirm reaffirm; infirm; affirmantspec; spect suspect; aspect; respect; spectacle; retrospect; perspective claim; clam declaim; clamor; disclaimpose dispose; compose; oppose; proposestru; struct structure; instruct; reconstructfac; fic, fact; fect e ffect; infect; defect; factory; factorsci scientific; scientist; prescienceport import; portable; support; reportceed; ced; cess succeed; process; procedurevert; vers invert; revert; diverse; vertical; extrovert; introverttract distract; subtract1) B2) A3) A4) A5) A6) C7) A8) C8.1) 在哭闹了5分钟之后,我最终妥协了,心想如果明天妈妈一大早就来接我,那我现在就进去。

21世纪大学英语应用型综合教程(修订版)1Unit 5 Part AText AA simpl e life well lived1 The businessman was at the pier of small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman d ocked. Insid e the small boat were several large yell ow fin tuna. The businessman complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how l ong it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, “Only a little whil e”.2 The businessman then asked why he didn’t stay out l onger and catch more fish. The Mexican said he had enough to support his family’s immediate needs. The businessman then asked, “But what d o you d o with the rest of your time?” The Mexican fisherman said, “I sl eep late, fish a little, paly with ma children, take a nap with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play the guitar with my amigos; I have a full and busy life, senor.”3 The businessman scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and I could help you. You shoul d spend more time fishing, and with the proceeds buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats; eventually you woul d have a fl eet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a mid dl eman, you woul d sell directly to the processor and eventually open your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You woul d need to l eave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexican City, then LA and eventually New York City where you would run your expanding enterprise.”4 The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how l ong will this all take?” To which the businessman replied, “15-20 years”. “But what then, senor?” The businessman laughed and said, “That’s the best part! When the time is right you woul d announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions.” “Millions, senor? Then what?” The businessman said, “Then you woul d retire, move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sl eep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”5 The fisherman, still smiling, l ooked up and said, “Isn’t that what I’m d oing right now?”6 We live in a worl d in which being successful is everything. Success is measured by power, popularity, control, achievement, and winning. Having more and being more is success. The businessman measured success by the accumulation of wealth and by living an extravagant life. He hel d a Harvard MBA, millions of d ollars, and status as a powerful businessman. “The person with the most toys wins” is a fitting motto.7 Possessions and wealth are not enough. While comforting, wealth cannot fulfill. Benjamin Franklin was of the op inion, “Money never mad e a man happy y et, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.” Wealth may help us to escape emptiness for a short while; it cannot cure it.8 The businessman accumulated money to support his retirement. It was wise to plan for the future. Yet, what sort of life was he living in the present? The businessman was so future-oriented that he hadn’t taken sufficient time to question what the future l ooked like. The businessman was living for what the Mexican already enjoyed – a simple life well lived.9 Rudyard Kipling, giving a commencement ad dress at McGill University in Montreal, said there was one striking thing that d eserves to be remembered about peopl e. Warning the stud ents against an over-concern for money, power, or popularity, he said, “Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are.” The businessman dis covered how poor he was when he met the Mexican fisherman.10 Ralph Wald o Emerson d efined succ ess in a simpl e life well lived as: “to laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent peopl e and affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to l eave the worl d a litter bit better, whether by a healthy chil d, a gard en patch, or an improved social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeed ed.”11 I think the Mexican fisherman woul d have agreed with Emerson.(731 words) 一个简单的生活生活1商人是在一个小的沿海墨西哥村庄的码头时,一个小的船,只有一个渔夫停靠。
