1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account;however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency.They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary.And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary.Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son;it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.Ex.3 Words in use 1.condense 2.exceed 3.deficit 4.exposure 5.asset 6.adequate 7.competent 8.adjusting 9.precisely 10.beneficial Ex.4 Word building-al/-ial: managerial/editorial/substance/survival/tradition/margin-cy : consistency/accuracy/efficient-y : recovery/ministry/assembly Ex.5 Word building 1.editorial 2.recovery 3.accuracy 4.substance 5.managerial 6.margin 7.assembly 8.Ministry 9.survival 10.tradition 11.consistency 12.efficient Ex.6 Banked cloze 1-5: L C J A I 6-10: O N E H F Ex.7 Expressions in use 1.feel obliged to 2.be serious about 3.run into 4.distinguish between 5.thrust upon 6.was allergic to 7.get lost 8.be attracted to 9.make sense 10.looked upon as Ex.8 Structured writing Some bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all.My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses.Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing.For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differences between used to and be used to on us.Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so.He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize.However, they could never stay in my head.I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams.I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar.Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation 人們普遍認為英語是一種世界語言，經常被許多不以英語為第一語言的國家使用。與其他語言一樣，英語也發生了很大的變化。英語的歷史可以分為三個主要階段：古英語，中古英語和現代英語。英語起源于公元5世紀，當時三個日耳曼部落入侵英國，他們對英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀和現代社會初期，英語的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀初，它的影響力開始在世界各地顯現。歐洲幾百年的探險和殖民過程導致了英語的重大變化。今天，由于美國電影、電視、音樂、貿易和技術、包括互聯網的大受歡迎，美國英語的影響力尤其顯著。

Ex.10 C-E Translation Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world.The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters.In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form.Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”.As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.Text B The great journey of learning 2.Understanding the text D.2.A 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.C 8.D 4.Words in use mysterious 2.desperate 3.devise 4.negotiate 5.recalled 6.specifically 7.depict 8.Ignorance 9.Expand 10 confusion 5.Expressions in use apply to 2.in a bid to 3.end up 4.speaking of 5.get hold of 6.appealed to 7.leaving..behind 8.focus on EX.6 Sentence structure.even though it is important of the students to have a deep understanding of the texts, it doesn’t make any sense to read texts word for word from the beginning to the end as it is a matter of little importance to us, it doesn’t make much sense to argue out which is wrong or right or which is better or worse it makes no sense to compel children to obey their parents;instead, we should try to tell them what is right and what is wrong.EX.7.II might as well have stayed at home.We might as well have taken the train home So he might as well have told me all about it.Collocation: Warm-up essential framework 2.distinctive difference 3 high standards 4 valuable possessions 5 considerable frustration 6 acquire knowledge 7 overcome deficiencies 8 sketch thoughts 9 devise a scheme Ex.8 1 essential framework 2 proper vocabulary 3 excellent control 4 language deficit 5 high standards 6 language proficiency 7 acquire knowledge 8 competent communication 9 overcome deficiencies 10 sketch thoughts 11 effective communication 12 advanced vocabulary Unit 2 College-The ladder to success Text A The humanities:Out of date? Reading Comprehension 1.because English or history majors are considered less competitive when the job market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.2.because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment.3.since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before;in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.4.because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it.From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5.Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6.Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7.“Well-rounded human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8.Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.Language focus 3 1.promotes 2.accelerate 3.mystery 4.insight 5.boost 6.analysis 7.calculate 8.barriers 9.destruction 10.prospect 4 Promising Bearing Housing Objective Offend Exclude Excess Execute Intensify Identity 5 1.excess 2.bearing 3.objective 4.intensify 5.execute 6.promising 7.exclude 8.identity 9 offend 10.housing 6.1-5 CHDJB 6-10 LMGFA 7 1.are liable to 2.in favor of 3.is bound to 4.speculate about 5.invested…with 6.stand up for 7.in the form of 8.prepared for 9.in the company of 10 in succession 9 幕課是一種網絡課程，它旨在通過網絡實現廣泛參與和開放接入。幕課是遠程教育邁出的最新一步，現已在高等教育領域迅速引領潮流。通過這些課程，大學可以擴大影響的范圍，從影響成千上萬住在城里付學費的學生，擴展到惠及全球上百萬的學生。除了擁有傳統的課程資料，幕課還給使用者提供互動論壇，支持學生和講師之間的交流。幕課能促進參與者之間的交流，使得多種觀點、知識和技能涌現到課堂上來；它鼓勵人們嘗試之前不可能嘗試的課程，甚至是嘗試新的教育方式；它提供多種學習課程資料的方式，鼓勵多模式學習，以各種學習風格滿足學習者的需求；另外，幕課促進教學的改善，使技術在面對面授課中得以更好地應用。10 In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, the construction of digital education resources of our country has made great achievements.Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education.Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages.On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible;on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere.These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Unit 2 TextB What college bring us?

Ex.1 1.Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains.2.The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career.3.They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and having a career.4.Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend.As long as the economic situation continues its long slide, this new stage is unavoidable.5.Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6.They often resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home.Many also resort to computer games, iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7.Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s odyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction.8.The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better, both parents and their children can tackle this phase better.For parents, they can understand their children more;for children, they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude.Ex.3 1.peculiar 2.radical 3.phase 4.sensible 5.predict 6.labeled 7.resent 8.witnessed 9.equivalent 10.parallels Ex.4-ic Chaotic dramatic academy-ion Depression detection erosion Classification confuse cooperate dictate-ist Rightist journal Ex.5 1.journal 2.chaotic 3.cooperate 4.erosion 5.dramatic 6.confuse 7.academy 8.rightists 9.depression 10.dictate 11.detection 12.classification Ex.6 K E A C L I G N H O Ex.7 1.saddled with 2.back off 3.gives way to 4.resorted to 5.make allowances for 6.wonder at 7.prior to 8.based upon/on Ex.8 The odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people.Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many challenges from their parents.The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.First, they differ in their attitude toward life.Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation.They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders.Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance.Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things.For example, the parents’ generation never understood Elvis and the Beatles.Because they couldn’t understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”.Young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day.Wherever they go, they’ll have their iPod with them.In conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things.To fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other.Ex.9 作為美國文化價值體系的一個重要組成部分，“個人主義”受到大多數美國人的推崇。美國人認為家庭作為一個群體，其主要目的是促進家庭各成員的幸福。

與許多其他文化相比，美國家庭成員的主要職責，不是在社會上或經濟上提高整個家庭的地位。人們通常認為，什么是對個人最好的要比什么是對家庭最好的更為重要。與自由相伴而來的是照顧自己的責任，因為所選擇的自由承載了責任，即必須接受自己的選擇所帶來的后果。許多美國人給他們的孩子很多的自由，因為他們希望孩子們能夠獨立和自力更生。在美國人強調個人自由的同時，父母與孩子間平等的信念也對美國家庭產生了巨大的影響。Ex.10 Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society.Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being.With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years.It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue.The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range.It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes.Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth.Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 3 Text B Finding my way back home Understanding the text 2 1.A 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.D 7.D 8.C Words in use 4 1.hollow 2.restless 3.demonstrate 4.exiled 5.miserable 6.commercial

story.She didn’t expect that she would end up marrying Butch.He became her boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend.She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2.Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her all night long.He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight.He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3.Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening.She didn’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4.Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun.In her opinion, college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5.Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking of herself as a traditional girl.6.It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situation.The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university.7.Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core.And they had a pure and responsible relationship for seven years.8.The author and her husband’s faithful

美國和歐洲各國都會慶祝2月14日的情人節。這是一個充滿愛情和浪漫的節日，戀人之間通常都會交換情人卡和愛情信物。關于這個節日的起源有著不同的說法。一個傳說是羅馬人把一個叫圣瓦倫丁的神父關進了監獄，因為他拒絕相信羅馬神。2月14日那天，瓦倫丁被處死，不僅因為他是基督徒，而且因為他曾治愈了一位監獄看守雙目失明的女兒。他在被處死的前一晚上給她寫了一封署名“你的瓦倫丁”的告別信。后來，2月14日就成了一個人們可以為他們的情人展示感情的節日。現在，人們以不同的方式慶祝情人節，他們發送賀卡、鮮花，贈送巧克力或其他禮品，或共進浪漫的晚餐?，F在這個節日已流行世界各地。在中國，這個節日也越來越受年輕人的歡迎。Ex.10 July 7th on the Chinese calendar is Chinese Qixi Festival, the most romantic of all the traditional Chinese holidays.Every year, some big businesses organize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers.As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”.The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid.The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd.So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi.On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage.But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing.All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.Unit 4 Text B Saving the date Reading Skills 1 1.They became romantically attracted to each other.(para.5)2.share the dating expense or split the money

gone quickly if the person only spends.However, some people think the purpose of life is to enjoy moment, so they spend all they have earned.Even though Bryan and Peter are close friends, their spending habits are very different.Bryan is very careful about using his pocket money.He only spends money when it’s necessary.For example, when his pocket money is only $50,he may spend $20 on necessary stationery for schoolwork.He will try to deposit the remaining $30 in his savings account.In his opinion, though the amount is small, it will help him for a possible rainy day since people never know what could happen in the future.Unlike Bryan, Peter usually spends money at will.He often purchases expensive electronic products such as an iPhone and iPad.Sometimes, he might buy himself an expensive brand-name shirt or a pair of expensive brand-name shoes.Different from Byan, he never deposits extra money in a bank after meeting his basic needs.To him, saving money in a bank is something silly because he believes that he can always earn big money after he gets a decent job in the future.All in all, Bryan and Peter are very different in the way they spend money.Spending money wisely and saving extra money for future urgent needs enable students to manage their finance and fully concentrate on their study.They will also derive great pleasure from the way they handle their money.Ex.9 大發現年代，也被稱為大勘探年代，是歐洲進行全球勘查的一個歷史時期，始于15世紀初并一直持續到18世紀。這一時期通常被認為是中世紀和近代之間的橋梁，當時西方帝國主義剛興起，歐洲各王國之間正在經濟上互相競爭，他們想通過建立貿易路線和殖民地來尋找財富。在這一時期眾多偉大的探險家中，最杰出的是克里斯托弗?哥倫布，因為他發現了新大陸。歐洲的海外擴張導致了殖民帝國的崛起，舊大陸與新大陸的接觸也促進了兩邊的互相交換：大量的植物、動物、食物、文化等得到遷移。這代表了歷史上生態、農業和文化在全球范圍內最重大的活動之一。歐洲大勘探讓繪制全球性的世界地圖成為可能，從而使人們看到一個新的世界與古老的文明正遙相呼應。Ex.10 The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia.This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”.As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization.Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road).The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries.Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Unit5 Text B A$3,000 dictionary Reading Skills 1 2.Denotation: examine a place or area in order to get information

Do we always behave rationally? Certainly not.There are a lot of people who behave irrationally, causing problems to themselves as well as to others.Irrational behavior is part of human nature, but as MIT Professor Ariely has discovered, people tend to behave irrationally in a predictable fashion.Though we cannot explain the exact cause behind irrational behavior, we know that it is a manner of behavior not based on logic and reasoning.I would like to give you an example of irrational behavior.If a person has heard about someone suffering from some disease, he will start thinking that he may suffer from the same disease.This is irrational and illogical behavior.I don't think this behavior is always intentional.Reading comprehension Understanding the text 1 1 He was imposing on his troops a necessary sacrifice to achieve victory over their opponents.By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say “NO” to any opportunities that came to them.In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash.They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cash earnings.What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computer in the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegate tasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy and attention in a more concentrated fashion.They will have more with fewer, carefully chosen options.Critical thinking 2 1 ~ Surprising but very strategic and visionary.~ Reflection of his unique foresight and wisdom.~ Knowledgeable about winning battles.~ Experienced in fighting with enemies.2 ~ Interesting and thought-provoking.~ Reflect students' mentality.~ Meaningful and valid.~ May not be convincing to some people.3 ~ Both consequences are surprising.~ Both are about choices and decision-making.~ Both have to do with strategies.~ Both focus on human's mentality.4 ~ Afraid of losing potential opportunities.~ Too greedy and too ambitious.~ Over-confident about their real capacity.~ More choices, better chances.5 ~ Fewer options, more focused concentration.~ Fewer choices, better quality.~ Everything has two sides.~ Too much greed ends up with nothing.Language focus 3 1 implement 2 rival 3 motivating 4 discarded 5 fluctuating 6 prejudiced 7 restore 8 enlightening 9

causing problems to themselves as well as to others.It's hard to analyze the exact causes behind irrational behavior, but we know that it is a manner of behavior that is not based on logic and reasoning.Irrational behavior is caused by various factors but two stand out.The first main factor that contributes to irrational behavior is uncontrolled emotions.Irrational people take offense or get angry before the actual situation occurs.They become anxious and express exaggerated emotions such as crying and shouting.They have unrealistic expectations, expecting everyone to like them and if someone does not, they feel angry and neglected.It is fairly common for people to show such signs of irrationality.Too much stress can also lead to irrational behavior.In fact, these days, stress is the major cause of physical as well as mental problems.Stress creates feelings of anger, irritation and frustration.For instance, when you spend a stressful day in the office, it makes you anxious.You start releasing your frustration or stress by screaming at your family members for small reasons like a badly prepared meal.That day you feel everything is wrong.In summary, uncontrolled emotions and too much stress can result in irrational behavior.To behave rationally is not an easy job because the behavior is internalized.However, to discover the source of your irrationality will help you behave more rationally.Translation 9 極簡主義是指去掉多余的，僅保留需要的部分、用最簡單的話來說，極簡的生

活方式，就是生活得越簡單越好,直到獲得心靈的平靜，這種簡單既是精神上的，也是身體上的：這樣的生活方式會減輕壓力，帶來更多自由時間．并增強幸福感、極簡主義者會說．他們生活得更有意義了，更從容了，極簡的生活方式讓他們著眼于生活中更重要的事物：朋友、愛好、旅游和體驗。當然，極簡主義并不意味著擁有物質財富從本質上來講有什么不對。現在的問題似乎在于，我們往往太重視所擁有的東西，而常常拋棄了健康、人與人之間的關系、我們的熱情、個人成長，以及幫助他人的愿望。極簡主義除了在我們的口常生活中可以得到應用，還存在于很多創意領域，包括藝術、建筑、沒汁、舞蹈、電影、戲劇、音樂、時尚、攝影和文學等。10 National Happiness Index(NHI)is an index that measures how happy people are.It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people's livelihood and happiness in a country or region.With the fast growth of Chinese economy, the Chinese government has been paying more and more attention to people's living quality and the increase of happiness index.The government stresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve their economic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs.Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reform dividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people.All these measures will combine to effectively increase the NHI of our people.Unit 6 Text B When enough is enough

Unit 1 時間觀念強的美國人

--------

美國人認為沒有人會停止不前。如果你不求進取，就會落伍。這種態度造就了一個決心投身于研究、實驗和探索的民族。時間是美國人注意節約的兩個要素之一，另一個則是工作。人們一直在說: “只有時間才能支配我們?！?人們似乎是把時間當作一個差不多是實實在在的東西來對待的。我們安排時間、節約時間、浪費時間、擠搶時間、消磨時間、縮減時間、對時間的使用作出解釋;我們還要因時間而收取費用。時間是一種寶貴的資源。許多人都深感人生的短暫。一旦人生的光陰逝去，就不能復返了。我們應當讓每一分鐘都過得有意義。

外國人對美國的第一印象很可能就是：每個人都顯得匆匆忙忙—常常是處于壓力之下。城里人看上去總是在匆匆地趕往他們要去的地方，在商店里他們焦躁不安地指望店員能馬上來為他們服務，或者為了想趕快買完東西，用肘來推搡他人。白天人人都急急忙忙地吃飯則部分地體現了這個國家的生活節奏。工作時間被認為是寶貴的。在公共用餐場所，人們等著別人吃完，這樣可以輪到他們，以按時趕回去工作。你還會發現汽車司機開車很魯莽, 人們推搡著在你身邊過去。你會懷念微笑、簡短的交談及與陌生人的隨意閑聊。不要覺得 這是針對你個人的，這是因為人們非常珍惜時間，而且也不喜歡他人不得當地“浪費”時間。

許多剛到美國的人會懷念諸如商務拜訪等場合開始時的寒喧。他們也會懷念那種喝著招待客人的茶或咖啡的禮節性交往, 這也許是他們自己國家的一種習俗。他們也許還會想念在飯店或咖啡館里談生意時的那種輕松悠閑的交談。一般說來，美國人是不會在如此輕松的環境里通過長時間的閑聊來評估他們的客人的，更不用說他們會在增進相互間信任的過程中帶他們出去吃飯，或帶他們去高爾夫球場。既然我們通常是通過工作而不是社交來評估和了解他人的，我們就開門見山地談生意。因此時間老是在我們的耳朵里嘀嗒嘀嗒地響著。因而我們千方百計地節約時間。我們發明了一系列節省勞力的裝置；我們通過發傳真、打電話或發電子郵件與他人迅速地進行交流, 而不是通過直接接觸。雖然面對面接觸令人愉快，但卻要化更多的時間, 尤其是在馬路上交通擁擠時。因此我們把大多數個人間的拜訪放在下班以后的時間里或周末的社交聚會上進行。

就我們而言，電子交流的缺乏人情味與我們手頭上事情的重要性之間很少有或完全沒有關系。在有些國家里, 沒有當面接觸就做不成大生意, 需要面對面的交談。在美國，最后協議通常也需要本人簽字。然而現在人們越來越多的是在電視屏幕上見面，開電信會議不僅能解決本國的問題，而且還能— 通過衛星—解決國與國之間的問題。美國無疑是一個電話王國。幾乎每個人都在用電話做生意、與朋友聊天、安排或取消社交約會、說聲 “謝謝”、購物、或去獲得各種信息。電話不但能免去你的走路之勞，而且還能為你節約大量時間。其部分原因在于這樣一個事實：美國的電話服務是一流的，而郵政服務的效率則差勁多了。有些初來美國的人很可能來自其它的文化背景，在那里人們認為工作太快是一種失禮。在他們看來，如果不是花一定時間來處理某件事的話，則這件事就好像是無足輕重的，不值得給予適當的重視。因此，人們覺得用的時間長會增加所做事情的重要性。但在美國，能迅速而又成功地解決問題或完成工作，則被視為是有水平、有能力的標志。通常，工作越重要，投入的資金、精力和注意力就越多，其目的是 “使工作開展起來”。

UNIT2 世界各地的環境保護

--------世界上大部分地區不存在環保意識。絕大多數國家只顧經濟發展，而不顧經濟發展對全球生態環境的影響。但近年來，隨著環境損害的日益嚴重，世界各地已經出現了許多變化的跡象。下面就是幾個正在采取環境保護新舉措的國家的例子。

加拿大

--------

當歐洲的探險者剛踏上新大陸時，后來成為加拿大東部和新英格蘭的沿海漁場盛產鱈魚及其他魚類。號稱大淺灘的海域是當時世界上產魚最多的漁場。

500年以后的今天，過度捕撈已使魚的數量減少到危險的程度。針對這一情況，加拿大關閉了這一捕鱈海域，并對其他魚類的捕撈量也作出嚴格限制。

加拿大在20世紀70年代也曾采過取類似措施來保護鯡魚的數量，最終鯡魚的數量得到了恢復。但是專家們說，由于時下的濫捕，某些魚類可能永遠也恢復不到原來的數量了。政府也面臨著來自加拿大漁民的抗議。因為禁漁和捕魚數量的減少，現在己有大約4萬漁民失業。

哥斯達黎加

--------

這個中美洲國家為保護其熱帶雨林的生態多樣性，已制訂出世界上最為雄心勃勃的的規劃之一。這個國家許多地區的樹木已被砍伐殆盡，而且土地流失范圍十分廣。但是人們制訂了一系列新的環境保護法，還新建了占四分之一國土面積的公園和自然保護區，目的是要保護哥斯達黎加現存的森林。巴西

--------

巴西是全世界最大的熱帶叢林-亞馬遜雨林的生長地。幾十年來，巴西政府一直在致力于開拓和開發亞馬遜雨林，給這個地區及其居民帶來了嚴重的環境災難。

但在1991年，在世界各地環境保護者的壓力下，巴西徹底改弦更張。它取消了原本旨在鼓勵砍伐亞馬遜雨林的稅收優惠，而且還批準了給新的森林保護項目提供資金的計劃。

養牛場場主、礦工和移民們反對這個措施，繼續破壞森林, 雖然破壞速度比過去已放慢。去年，礦工們為了爭奪印第安人的土地而殺死了一群居住在亞馬遜雨林里的印第安人后，沖突擴大了。巴西政府承諾，將保護該地區的土著居民，但人們對這個承諾的可信度仍心存疑慮。

東歐

--------

東歐各國，包括波蘭、匈牙利、捷克和斯洛伐克共和國，被認為是世界上工業化國家中污染最嚴重的。開挖煤礦時逸出的重金屬已經污染了這個地區的許多水域。河流、土地及森林的污染是如此嚴重，以至現在其中的許多在生物學上來講已經死亡。

通過簽訂一系列專門性條約，東歐國家已與許多其它國家，包括美國，設立了用來凈化環境和改善該地區發電廠的特別基金。此外，德國和捷克共和國已簽訂了一項條約以保護易北河，使之不再進一步被污染。專家們說該條約可被視為保護該地區其它河流，包括奧德河和多瑙河在內，的典范。

加納

--------

加納的人口一直在以每年3.2%的速度增長。這種人口激增已導致了該國許多地方森林的消失及對現存農田過度耕作。森林正在以每年278平方英里的速度被砍伐。

針對這一情況，政府鼓勵當地村莊建立更多的共有農田。為恢復荒地的地力，它資助人們種植諸如木薯、玉米、棉花之類的經濟作物和植樹造林。觀察家們稱該計劃已成功地鞏固了該國的農業基礎，而且還給村民們帶來了新的財源。但是要知道這些措施是否會產生足夠的影響來減緩砍伐森林的速度，尚須時日。印度尼西亞

--------

印度尼西亞人傳統上偏愛大家庭，他們的主要宗教伊斯蘭教不贊成節制生育。但是這個人口達1.88億的國家正在為了給其人民提供足夠的食物、住房和工作機會而苦苦掙扎。印尼政府近幾年來已發動了一場大規模的廣告宣傳運動來鼓勵節制生育，并提出了鼓勵措施，如提供免費去沙特阿拉伯的麥加-伊斯蘭教的誕生地-的機會。

印尼政府已成功地擴大了實行節制生育的范圍，節育人口已從20年前的10%增加到今天的49%。其結果是每個婦女從平均生育5.6個孩子下降到平均生育3個。印尼政府希望到2005年的時候，每個婦女的平均生育數可下降到2.1個。但是因為該國的人口基數十分大，要想達到政府的人口目標，印尼還必須再轉變幾百萬人的思想，讓他們接受節制生育的觀念。

UNIT3 跨國婚姻

--------

我和蓋爾計劃舉行一個不事張揚的婚禮。在一起相處的兩年中，我們經歷了一對情侶在學著相互了解、理解和尊重時常常出現的磕磕碰碰。但在這整整兩年間，我們坦誠地面對了彼此性格中的弱點和長處。

我們之間的種族及文化差異不但增強了我們的關系，還教會了我們彼此間要寬容、諒解和開誠布公。蓋爾有時不明白為何我和其他黑人如此熱衷于種族問題，她好像忘記了美國社會中種族仇恨更加微妙的表現形式，這一點令我感到驚訝。

作為一對居住在美國、異族通婚的夫妻，我和蓋爾對未來不抱絲毫幻想。相互信任和尊重是我們倆永不枯竭的力量源泉。

許多夫妻因為錯誤的理由結了婚, 結果在10年、20年或30年后才發覺他們原來是合不來的，他們在婚前幾乎沒有化時間去了解彼此，他們忽視了嚴重的性格差異，指望婚姻會自然而然地解決各種問題。我們希望避免重蹈復轍。下列事實強調了這樣一點：已經結婚35年的蓋爾父母正經歷著一場充滿怨恨、令人痛苦的婚變，這件事給了蓋爾以毀滅性的打擊, 并一度給我們正處于萌芽狀態的關系帶來了負面的影響。

當蓋爾把我們計劃舉辦婚禮的消息告訴她家人時，她遇到了一些阻力。她的母親德博拉過去一直贊成我們的關系，甚至還開過玩笑，問我們打算何時結婚，這樣她就可以抱外孫了。但這次聽到我們的消息時，她沒向我們表示祝賀，相反卻勸蓋爾想想清楚自己的決定是否正確。

“這么說我跟他約會沒錯, 但是如果我跟他結婚，就錯了。媽媽，是不是因為他的膚色？” 蓋爾后來告訴我她曾這樣問她母親。

“首先我必須承認, 剛開始時我對異族通婚是有保留的，也許你甚至可以把這稱為偏見。但是當我見到馬克時，我發現他是一個既討人喜歡又聰明的年輕人。任何一個母親都會因為有這樣一個女婿而感到臉上有光的。所以，這事跟膚色沒有關系。是的, 我的朋友們會有閑話。有些朋友甚至對你所做的事表示震驚。但他們是生活在一個和我們不同的世界里的人。因此要明白，馬克的膚色不是個問題。我最大的擔心的是你也許跟我當初嫁給你爸爸一樣，是因為錯誤的原因而嫁給馬克的。當年我和你爸爸相遇時，我也把他看作是個可愛、聰明、討人喜歡和善解人意的人。一切都是多么新鮮、多么令人興奮。而且我們倆人都認為-至少在表面上是如此-我們的婚姻是理想婚姻，而且一切跡象都表明是會天長地久的。直到后來我才明白，在我們結婚時，我并不十分理解我所愛的人-你的爸爸?！? “但是我和馬克呆在一起已有2年多了,” 蓋爾抱怨道。“我們倆一起經歷了許許多多的事情。我們彼此已很多次看到對方最糟糕的一面。我可以肯定時間只會證明我們是彼此深情相愛的?！?/p>

“你也許是對的。但我還是認為再等一段時間有好處。你今年才25歲?！?/p>

蓋爾的父親戴維-我還未見過他的面-以知女莫若父的態度來對付我們的決定。他問的問題基本上和蓋爾母親的問題相同: “干嗎這么匆忙？這個馬克是什么人？他是什么公民身份?” 當他得知我在公民身份部門遇到的問題時, 就懷疑我是因為想留在美國而娶他的女兒的。

“不過爸爸，你這話講得太難聽了,” 蓋爾說。

“那么干嗎要這樣著急？拖一段時間再說，拖一段時間再說,” 他重復說著。

“馬克以前是有過公民身份方面的問題，但他總是在自己處理這些問題,” 蓋爾辯解道?！?事實上，當我們在討論結婚的時候，他清楚地表明了這樣一點：如果我對任何事情有懷疑, 我完全可以取消我們的計劃?！?/p>

她的父親開始引用統計數據說明異族通婚的夫妻離婚率比同族結婚的夫妻要高，而且還列舉了接受過他咨詢的、在婚姻上有麻煩的異族通婚夫婦的例子。

他問道：“你考慮過你以后的孩子可能會遭受的苦難嗎？”

“爸，你是個種族主義分子嗎?”

“不，當然不是。但你必須得現實一點。”

“也許我們的孩子會遇到一些問題。但誰的孩子不會呢？ 但是有一樣東西他們將會永遠擁有：我們的愛和奉獻。”

“那是一種理想主義的想法。人們對異族通婚生下的孩子是會很殘酷的?！?/p>

“爸爸，到時候，我們自己會操心的。但是假如我們在做什么事之前，必須把所有的疑難問題全部解決的話，那么我們幾乎就什么都干不成了?！?/p>

“請記住，回心轉意是永遠不會太遲的。”

UNIT4 到國外求學

--------

選擇去美國完成中學學業的巴西青年所面臨的挑戰。

830號班機。起飛時間：晚上十時四十五分。

乍一看，這不過是又一架飛往加州洛杉磯市的普通班機。然而對于飛機上的38個年齡在15到18歲之間的年輕乘客來說，這是一次全新經歷的開始： 他們將遠離家人去國外留學，度過他們生命中的10個月。美國平均每年要接待78，000名中學學歷程度的外國學生，其中3，000個來自巴西。他們都是因為同樣的原因赴美的--學會流利的英語、完成中學學業以及盡可能了解有關美國生活方式的方方面面。在每個學期結束時，只要這些學生能通過期末考試，美國當局就會向他們頒發證書，巴西是承認這種證書的。

對大多數學生來說，至少要經過6個月的精心籌劃才能作出到國外學習的決定。“對我來說，” 17歲的格洛里亞·馬卡托說: “學會講英語及體驗這種經歷比從美國政府那里拿到一張證書更為重要?！?其他人則向往能繼續上大學。桑德羅·羅德里戈·德·巴洛斯明確表示: “我想做一名音樂指揮家，而且我已經選擇好了美國最好的音樂學院。”

正如他們所說的那樣，事情并不總是那么順利。甚至那些計劃在美國完成兩個學期中學課程的年輕學生也很難找到接待家庭。很少有學生在到達這個國家時，就把一切細節都安排妥貼了的。格洛里亞·馬卡托是其中的一個幸運者。在出國前，她收到了2封信及幾張她的新“父母”的照片。格洛里亞說: “我認為一切都取決于你怎樣回答巴西這邊的海外留學公司寄給你的問卷調查。舉個例子說吧, 我是不惜紙墨的。我甚至描寫了我的四條狗，還說我每個星期天都去做禮拜?！?她達到了目的。美國人篤信宗教（絕大多數美國人都是基督教徒), 而且寵物在他們心里占有特殊的地位。雖然可以減免一小部分所得稅, 接待海外留學生的美國家庭是不向學生收錢的。

每個孩子的個人用品、娛樂、長途電話及衣服都得自己掏錢。每個月的這些費用加起來就要 200 到 300 美元。怕萬一生病，每個學生都得辦一張醫療幫助卡。健康保險不包括艾滋病、人工流產和自殺后的治療，也不支付治療牙齒和配眼鏡的費用。

事實上，大多數學生在離家時，都知道他們將在沒有原來所習慣了的父母照顧的情況下自己生活, 學會自己照料自己。然而，他們沒有人會獨自整理行裝。父母們一直在給他們出主意，甚至幫他們裝箱打包。這些小青年在做這類事的時候常常顯得缺乏實踐經驗。他們帶了許多不必要的東西。一個來自巴西南部的學生把2個大箱子塞得滿滿的，此外，還得考慮她隨身攜帶的行李。結果她無法一個人帶著這么多東西踏上旅途。

對許多學生來說，在機場與親友告別是他們最難受的時候。即使朋友們及家人支持他們出國留學, 但在此時此刻說聲再見卻是很困難的。帕特里夏·卡格利恩說: “拋下你所愛的人，特別是男朋友, 是很不容易的。我在飛機起飛的時候哭了，到了飛機上還在哭?！?/p>

學生們在等待美國國內班機把他們帶到在美國的臨時家庭時又緊張了一陣。從那以后，每個人都得自己照料自己了。沒有人真正知道自己該如何去適應這新的環境。雖然大多數外國學生將留在加利福尼亞州，但也有人要被送往德克薩斯、亞利桑那、愛達荷、俄克拉荷馬及弗吉尼亞等州去。

幾天以后，普遍的抱怨就是食物了?！半m然我的適應能力很強，可我真的很想念米飯和豆類菜肴。這里的食物看上去不太有營養?！?費爾南多·安德雷德哀怨地說。大多數年輕人遇到的另一個大問題，就是他們遠在他鄉、倍思親人。

留學計劃中有一條與時間有關的重要規定，這是由接待家庭的 “父母” 制定的。根據這條規定, 這些十幾歲的孩子們在周末晚上必須回家。“他們真的很嚴格吶,” 剛學完第一學期的朱莉安娜·馬蒂尼說?！澳惚仨氃谕砩鲜c半以前到家。如果做不到,就會受罰?！?/p>

剛到美國時, 有些孩子對英語幾乎一竅不通。在這種情況下，唯一的解決方法就是請私人語言教師。這樣就增加了留學的費用，加上飛機票，估計費用大約為3,800 美元。

UNIT5 我為女兒抽煙哭泣

--------

我的女兒會抽煙。她做家庭作業時，腳擱在前面的長凳上，計算機嗒嗒地跳出幾何題的答案。我看著那包已抽了一半、她隨意扔在緊靠手邊處的駱駝牌香煙。我拿起香煙，走到廚房里去仔細察看，那里的光線好一點--謝天謝地，那是有過濾嘴的?？晌倚睦飬s感到十分難過。我想哭。事實上，站在廚房煤氣灶旁邊, 我確實哭過。我手里捏著一支雪白雪白的香煙，制作得非常精致。那可是會致我女兒于死地的東西啊。當她抽“萬寶路”及“運動員”牌香煙時，我硬起心腸, 不讓自己感到難過。我認識的人當中沒有那個抽過這兩種牌子的香煙。

她不知道我父親、也就是她外公生前抽的就是駱駝牌香煙。但是在他開始抽機制卷煙之前--那時他很年輕、也很窮，但眼睛炯炯有神--他抽的是用阿爾伯特親王牌煙絲自己手工卷制的香煙。我還記得那鮮紅的煙絲罐頭，上面有一張維多利亞女王的丈夫阿爾伯特親王身穿黑色燕尾服、手拿一支手杖的圖片。

到40年代末、50年代初，我的家鄉喬治亞州的伊頓鎮上已沒有人再自己手工制作卷煙了（而且幾乎沒有女人抽煙）。煙草業，再加上好來塢電影--影 片中的男女主角都是老煙鬼--把像我父親那樣的人完完全全爭取了過去, 他們無可救藥地抽煙上了癮。然而我父親看上去從來就沒有像阿爾伯特親王那樣時髦。他還是一個貧窮、過于肥胖、為養活一大家人而拼命干活的男人。他渾身漆黑，嘴里卻總叼著一支雪白的香煙。

我記不清父親是什么時候開始咳嗽的, 也許開始時并不明顯, 他早晨一下床點燃第一支香煙時才有點微咳。到我16歲, 也就是我女兒現在這般年齡時，他一呼吸就呼哧呼哧的，讓人感到不安；他上樓時每走三、四級樓梯就得停下來休息一會兒。他常常一連咳上一個來小時。

肺病把我父親折磨得虛弱不堪, 一個嚴冬，他死于被叫做“窮人的朋友”的疾病--肺炎。他咳嗽了這么多年，我想他的肺部已沒有什么完好的地方了。去世前幾年，他的呼吸已經很虛弱了，他總得倚靠著某個東西。我記得有一次全家聚會，當時我女兒才2歲，他抱了她一會兒，好讓我有時間給他倆拍張照片。但是很明顯，他是費了好大勁的。他生命行將結束前, 主要是因為他的肺功能已極度受損，他才戒了煙。戒煙后他的體重增加了幾磅，但當時他太瘦了，所以沒人注意到這一點。

我到第三世界國家去旅行時，看到了許多像我父親和女兒那樣的人。到處都有針對他們這兩類人的巨大廣告牌：強壯、自信或時髦、年齡較大的男人, 以及漂亮、“世故”的年青女人，都在吞云吐霧。就像在美國的市中心區和印第安人的居留地上發生的事一樣。在這些貧困的國家里，那些本應該化在食物上的錢卻流進了煙草公司。久而久之，人們不但缺少食物，而且還缺少空氣，這樣不但大大地削弱了孩子們的體質，還使他們染上了煙癮，最終還會致他們于死地。我在報紙及我訂閱的園藝雜志上看到, 煙蒂的毒性是很強的：一個嬰兒如果吞下了一個煙蒂，就很有可能會死去； 沸水加一把煙蒂就成了很有效的殺蟲劑。

作為一個母親，我感到深深的痛苦。有時我有一種無能為力的感覺。我記得自己懷孕時，吃東西的時候是多么當心?。≈笤诮趟绾伟踩┻^馬路時，又是多么耐心??！有時我納悶：自己這樣做到底是為了什么? 難道是為了她今后大半輩子有氣無力地掙扎著呼吸，然后再像她外公那樣自己把自己毒死？

我特別喜歡一條寫在受傷害婦女收容所里的語錄： “人間平安，始于家庭?！?我認為世上所有東西都是如此。我還想起了另一條寫給那些想戒煙的人們的語錄： “每個家庭都應該是禁煙區?！?抽煙是一種自我毀滅，而且也毀滅著那些不得不坐在你身邊的人。那些人偶爾也會取笑或抱怨抽煙，可常常只能無可奈何地坐在一邊看。我現在意識到了，當我還是一個孩子時，許多年中我實際上是一直坐在旁邊，看著我父親自殺。對那些生意興隆的煙草公司的巨頭們來說，能在我家取得這樣一種勝利，肯定是夠滿意了。

UNIT6 人如其名

--------

在她人生最初的24年里，人們一直叫她黛比--一個和她漂亮的容貌和優雅的風度不相配的名字。“我的名字老是使我覺得自己應該是一個女廚子,” 她抱怨道?！拔艺娴牟幌胍毂冗@個名字。”

一天，在填寫一張申請一個出版業工作職位的表格時，這位小姐一時沖動,用她的中名林恩替換了她的名字黛比?！斑@是我一生中干過的最漂亮的事,”現在她對人這樣說。“我一停止稱自己為黛比，我就對自己感到比較舒坦了……而且其他人也開始更認真地對待我了。” 在成功地通過那次工作面試兩年后，這位昔日的女服務員現在成了一位成功的雜志編輯。朋友和同事們都叫她林恩。

當然, 黛比(或林恩)的職業成就并不是改名帶來的，但是它肯定給她帶來了好處，雖說改名僅使她對自己的才能增加了一點點自信。社會科學家認為你叫什么名字會影響你的生活。自古至今，名字不僅被用來識別人，而且也被用來描述人。圣經上說： “……人如其名 ……”，此外韋伯斯特大詞典也對名字作了如下的定義： “表達某種特點的一個或幾個字, 這種特點被認為反映了某人或某事的本質、或描述了某人某事，常表示嘉許或不喜歡的意思?！?請好好注意這幾個詞：“嘉許或不喜歡。” 不管是好是歹，諸如友好或拘謹，相貌平?；蚱翄趁牡绕焚|特征已經和你的名字連在了一起，甚至在他人見到你這個人之前就已經知道了你的這些品質和特征。

名字已成為特定形象的組成部分, 任何一個被稱為“相貌平常的珍妮”或“普普通通的喬”的人都能證明這一點。后面的那個名字特別使我煩惱，因為我的名字也叫喬。有些人認為這個名字使我更適合于做一個棒球運動員而不是，比如說，藝術評論家。然而，盡管有此不利，我確實曾一度努力想成為一名評論家。即使如此，一家著名雜志一直拒絕把“喬”作為我的文章的作者署名，而是用我名字的首字母 J.S.來代替它。我懷疑假如我的名字是比較文雅的阿瑟、或艾德里安的話，我的名字早已完整地出現在雜志上了。

當然, 有積極含義的名字對你是有好處的，甚至能促進你結交新友。最新調查表明：美國男人認為蘇珊是最有吸引力的女性名字，而女人則認為里查德和戴維是男人中最有吸引力的名字。我認識一個女人，她拒絕了一次由第三方安排的、與一個叫哈里的男人的約會，因為“這人聽上去沒勁”?？删驮趲滋旌蟮囊粋€晚間聚會上，她走到我身邊，催逼著我把她介紹給一個給人以深刻印象的男人；他們倆人整個晚上都在互送秋波?！芭丁保艺f“你指的是哈里呀?！彼犃撕蟾械胶軐擂?。

雖然我們中大多數人會認為自己沒有這樣的偏見看法，但在某種程度上，我們都有對名字產生固定看法的毛病。老老實實地坦白：你碰到一個名叫奈杰兒的木匠會不會感到驚訝呢？ 或是一個叫伯撒的物理學家呢？抑或是一個叫梅爾的教皇呢？ 正如我的一位女性朋友在照看一批托兒所里的四歲兒童時所發現的那樣, 我們常常把由名字引起的固定想法加到他人身上?！霸谕袃核?有一次我想叫一個名字為朱利安的、活躍的小男孩靜靜地坐下來看書, 同時把一個喜歡沉思的、名叫羅里的孩子推出去打球。因為他們的名字，我把他們的性格給搞混了！”

很明顯，這樣的偏見也會影響課堂效果的。在一項由圣迭戈州立大學的赫伯特·哈拉里及喬治亞州立大學的約翰·麥克戴維主持的研究中，與名叫邁克和戴維的作文卷子相比，教師老是給卷上名字為埃爾默和休伯特的男孩寫的文章打較低的分數, 實際這是同樣的兩份卷子。但是教師的偏見不是造成課堂得分差別的唯一原因。坦普爾大學的托馬斯·V·巴斯博士和路易莎·塞雷達里恩發現：那些名叫琳達、戴安娜、芭芭拉、卡羅爾及辛迪之類的女孩們在評分客觀公正的智力測驗和學業成績測驗中的成績比那些名字不太有吸引力的女孩要好。（一個與之配套的研究表明：女孩受同齡人歡迎的程度也與她們的名字受歡迎的程度有關系。雖然對男孩來說這種關系不太明顯。）

雖然你父母很可能打算讓你的名字一輩子用下去，但記住, 他們選這個名字的時侯，也許還沒有見過你呢。而且, 當他們選擇這個名字時，他們所重視的希望和夢想也許不符合你的希望和夢想。假如你的名字看上去不再跟你相配時，不要苦惱；你不必一輩子用這個名字。影星們經常改名，而且是懷著某種決心這樣做的，你也可以這樣做。
