1.Courtesy,politeness,good-manners——call it what you will,the supply never seems to equal the demand: 禮貌也好,客氣,或文明舉止也好,無論你稱它什么,其供應似乎總是小于需求。(意思是人們維護和諧的關系所需要的禮貌從來都低于他們實際表現出的水平。)2.What impelled the boy to take so much trouble to spare the feelings of a stranger?Courtesy,compassionate courtesy.是什么促使這個年輕人不厭其煩地這么做?是禮貌,基于同情心的禮貌。(為了不讓一個陌生人感到自己無用而難堪。)3.Even when you have doubts about some people,act as if they are worthy of your best manners.即使對有些人你不太有把握(他們是否值得你禮遇),也要以禮相待,就像他們值得你這樣對待他們一樣。4.All skills require constant repetition to become second nature;good manners are no exception.一切技能都需要經常重復而后才能成為第二天性,禮貌也是如此。5.Nowhere is thinking courtesy more important than in marriage.理性的禮貌在婚姻中比在其他任何方面都更加重要。(此句是倒裝句,表強調。正常語序:Thinking courtesy is more important in marriage than anywhere else.)6.But some of the most precious gifts in life come with no strings attached.可是生活中的有些最寶貴的贈品卻是不帶有任何附加條件的。(意思是別人對你的善舉、好意、禮貌也是生活給你的贈品——無須回報就能得到的東西,不要認為人家是別有用心的。)7.The only constant,daily,effective solution is politeness——which is the golded rule in action.唯一能經常、每天使用的有效的解決方法就是以禮待人這個行為準則。Lesson 2 & 3 The man who could work miracles(I & II)1.It’s something contrary to the course of nature done by power of will.奇跡是通過意志的力量產生違反自然規律的事物。2.The fears of his first discovery were now mixed with pride and ideas of advantage.剛發現自己超凡能力時的恐懼心情這時已經摻入了自豪感和優越感。3.As the day passed,his state of mind passed from wonder to dilight.就在這一天之內,他的思想狀況由驚訝變成了喜悅。4.Mr.Fotheringay performed no more miracles that night,nor did he trouble to see what had become of his flowering stick.那天夜里,佛澤林蓋先生沒有再制造奇跡,也沒有費神去看看他那根開花的拐仗到底怎么樣了。5.Except for the loss of his miraculous powers,everything was back as it had been.And among other things,of course,he did not believe in miracles.除了失去他那不可思議的能力之外,一切都回到了以往的狀況,其中當然也包括他不相信有奇跡這一情況。
Lesson 4 Zero hour:43 seconds over Hiroshima緊急時刻:廣島上空的43秒鐘 1.But she felt well enough to be up and about.不過,她感覺起床活動是沒有問題的。2.she had sunk into unconsciousness.她失去了知覺。3.The very air seemed hostile,so thick with dust and ash that she could barely see.連空氣也好像是在作對,充滿了塵土和灰煙,使她什么也看不見。4.That life had been a comfortable one,wanting in nothing——not,at least,until the war.那本來是很舒適的生活,什么也不缺,至少直到戰爭爆發之前是如此。5.But he could not shut the war out of the sheltered world he had built for himself and his family.但是這場戰爭也必然波及到他極力保護的家庭。(直譯:他不可能把這場戰爭排斥在他為自己和家人營造的小天地之外。)6.The street were filled with the dead and the barely living.街上到處是死人和只剩下一口氣的人。7.The illness had not really left her;it had gone into hiding.病魔并沒有真正離開她,只不過是隱藏起來了。
Lesson 5 First principles 首要原則 1.What we ought to do is give to people we love——give memorable things according to our ability.我們應該做的是為我們所愛的人奉獻,也就是說根據我們的能力送給他們有紀念意義的東西。2.It was Laura’s ovvious pleasure that had brightened everything.正是因為勞拉喜形于色,給全家增添了節日氣氛。3.They made her think of the ballerina dress,and of all the pure,proud,filmy beauty of the world that belonged,by right,to Laura.那朵朵鮮花使她想到那件芭蕾舞衣,使她想到世上一切純真的、值得自豪的、朦朧的美,都理所當然地屬于勞拉。(意思是說:勞拉這樣好的女孩子應該享受世上一切美好的東西。)
Lesson 6 The beauty of Britain 1.The beauty of our country——or at least all of its south of North Scotland——is as hard to define as it is easy to enjoy.我們國家的美,至少北蘇格蘭以南所有的地方之美欣賞容易,描繪難。(直擇:欣賞起來容易,說明白難。)個人覺得,這課出題的可能性不是很大。但我學會了一個翻譯:《綜合英語》: A Comprehensive English Course Lesson 7 Some meanings of Authentic Love 1.If I love you,I’m responsive to most of your major needs as a person.如果我愛你,我就回對你作為人的大多數的主要需求有反映。2.This commitment does not entail surrendering our total selves to each other;nor does it imply that the relationship is necessarily permanent.這種承諾并不需要我們相互放棄自身的特性,也不表示我們的這種關系一定是永久的關系。3.In other words,love comes into an imperfect world to make it livable.換句話說,愛來到這個不完美的世界,使它可以適合人們居住。(即:因為有了愛,人們才能在這個問題很多的世界上生活下去。)4.Love means having a want for the person I love without having a need for that person in order to be complete.愛意味著對于我所愛的人,我需要有他,而不是缺了他就不行。

Lesson 10 On friendship 1.For a Frenchman,a German or an Englishman friendship is usually more special and carries a heavier burden of commitment.對于法國人、德國人或是英國人來說,友誼一般包含更為特殊的內容,承擔更多的義務。2.Related to this is the sense each friend gives the other of being a special individual,on whatever grounds this recognition is based.與此相關的是,朋友之間彼此使對方感到與眾不同,無論這種感覺的依據是什么.3.And between friends there is inevitably a kind of equality of give and take.此外,朋友之間必然要有來有往,互讓互諒.Lesson 11 Selling the post(I)1.The flaw in my character which she had already spotted was lack of “gumption”.在我的性格中,她已經發現的弱點是缺少“進取心”.2.We were only sixty-five years from Lincoln.Many a grandfather who walked among us could remember Lincoln's time.我們離林肯也只有65年的時間,生活在我們中間的許多爺爺輩的人還記得林肯時代.many a: a large number of(正式)很多 3.Those young men would not go far in this world.那些年輕人在這個世界里沒有多在的前程.4.He presented it with reverence fit for a religious object.他畢恭畢敬地把那帆布包遞給我,似乎那包是件圣物.Lesson 12 Selling the post(II)1.Put me down as a regular customer.把我算成一個長期買主吧.2.I bowed to superior will and entered journalism with a heavy heart.我只好屈服于我母親至高無上的意志,心事重重地進入了新聞行業.3.So far as I could make out,what writers did couldn't even be classified as work.按我當時的理解,作家干的事甚至不能算作是工作.4.I did not dare tell anybody for fear of being laughed at in the schoolyard,but secretly I decided that what i'd like to be when i grew up was a writer.這事我不敢跟任何人說,怕在校園里讓人笑話,不過我私下認定長大之后要當作家.Lesson 13 How to grow old 1.I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health,though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome.盡管我喜歡做的事情大多數是有益于健康的,但我從不因某事有益于健康而特意去做那件事。2.Psychologically there are 2 dangers to be guarded against in old age.One of these is too great an absorption in the past.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to young in the hope of finding strength in its vitality.從心理角度來說,老年時期要提防兩種危險。一是沉溺于過去。另一件要避免的事,就是依戀子女,希望從他們身上的活力中獲取生命的力量。3.Three passions,simple but overwhelmingly strong,have governed my life;the longing for love,the search for knowledge,and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.三個牽掛,簡單但又極為深重,支配了我的一生:對愛的渴望,對知識的追求,對人類苦難的無限的同情。4.This has been my life.I have found it worth living,and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.我就是這樣生活的。我認為這樣活著值得,如果上天賜我良機,我愿意這樣再活一次。

those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most diffcult adjustments in both business and daily life.來自時間觀大相徑庭的國家的人,可能會發現無論在公務方面還是日常生活中,(在美國)節奏是最難以適應的方面之一。
those coming是主語 from lands...differently作定語修飾those coming may find助動詞+V,作謂語
BOOK Ⅰ L1 P14 Why does the author tell s not to be afraid to ask stupid questions? The author thinks that many apparently naive inquiries like why grass is green, or why the sn is round, or why we need 55,000 unclear weapons in the world--are really deep questions.He says when you try to get the answers, you will gain deep understanding of the things.Its also important to know, as well as you can, what it is that you dont know, and asking questions is the way.He also tell us to ask stupid questions requires courage on the part of the asker and knowledge and patience on the part of the answers.And dont confine your learning to schoolwork.Discuss ideas in depth with friends.Its much brave to ask questions even when theres a prospect of ridicule than to suppress your questions and become deadened to the world around you.L2 Icons P30 What are the factors to shift the hero-worship to the celebrity-worship? The new forms of media--photography, moving pictures, radio and television are the main factors.The reproduction of photos in newspapers turned famous people into celebrities whose dress, appearance, and personal habits were widely commented upon.Slowly, the focus of public attention began to shift away from knowing what such people did to knowing what looked like.The shift was accelerated by the arrival of moving pictures.Between 1901 and 1914, 74 percent of the magazine articles about famous people were about political leaders,inventors, inventors, professionals, and businessmen.After 1922, however, most articles were about movie stars.With the arrival of television, the faces of the stars became as familiar as those we saw across the breakfast table.We came to know more about the lives of the celebrities than we did about most of the people we know personally.Less than seventy years after the appearance of the first movimg pictures, the shift from hero-worship to celebrity-worship was complete.L3 GO-GO AMERICAN P46 What is the Americans attitude towards time?Give necessary examples.In the United States, many people keenly feel the shortness of each lifetime.They are aware that once a day in their life is gone, it will never come back.And Americans believe no one stands still.If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind.So they value time and want every minte to count.This attitde towards time is shown in the fast pace of life in the country.Whatever they do they always seem to be in a rush.You find people hurrying to get where they are going.They hurry to eating places for a mea and finish it as quickly as possible.Also Americans do what they can to save time.They produce a lot of labour-saving devices such as clothes-and dish-washers;they rapidly communicate through phone calls, telex and e-mail and cut down on personal contacts.L4 Take Over,Bosn!P62 Can you imagine what did Barret think of when he heard Snyders whisper Take over,bosn? Becase of thirst,Barret was almost out of mind.He rose several times and was a constant threat.But when he heard Snyder said“Take over, bosn, he had a strange feeling suddenly.He came to realize he would and must take over the task and be responsible for the rest.As long as he stopped others from the little water, they would always have hopes and wouldnt die soon.So he picked Snyders gun up and decided to hold off the other from the water until night when a ship saved them.L5 Are You Giving Your Kids Too Much? P78 Why parents overindulge their children? There are several reasons to explain why parents overindulge their children.One fairly common reason is that parents overindulge their chidren out of a sense of guilt.Parents who both hold down full-time jops may feel guilty about the amount of time they spend away from their children and may attempt to compensate by showering them with material possessions.Other parents overindulge because they want their children to have everything they had while growing up, along with those things the parents yearned for but didnt get.Still others are afraid to say no to their childrens denless requests for toys for fear that their children will feel unloved or will be ridiculed if thy dont have the same playthings their friends have.L6 Culture Shock P94 What are four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed? Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming.You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh apeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive.When you stay in a new envirnment for a while, you move to stage two-the crisis stage-in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in.In relationship, you notie annoying habits;in a new country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases.If you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase:recovery.In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort.Finally,when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture, you will move to the fourth phase:adjustment.L7 The Model Millionaire(I)P108 Suppose you are the millionaire.Explain how you get to know Hughie Erskine and what you do in return for the pound he gave you when you first met.I am Baron Hausberg.I have enough money to buy the whole of London.One day, on a whim I asked my artist friend Alan Trevor to pain me as a beggar.Alan had almost finished the picture when a very charming young man walked into his studio.I suppose he must have been very sympathetic with me, for when Alan was away a minute, the young man quickly put a pound into my hat.I was startled for a moment, but I was pleased when I realized that he took me for a real begger.Later I learned from Alan all about this young man:he was poor, and could not marry the girl he loved because her father wouldnt let them unless he had 10,000 pounds.Touched by the young mans spirit of kindness, I decided to help him.The next day I had a cheque for 10,000 pounds delivered to him as a wedding gift.L8 The Model Millionaire(II)P123 Retell the story The Model Millionaire in about 150 words, concluding your retelling with a one-sentence comment.Hughie Erskine was a charming young man who was in love with a nice girl called Laura Merton.Lauras father made it clear to Hughie that he would not marry his daughter to him until Hughie had ten thousand pounds.One day,Hughie went to see his artist friend Alan Trevor in his studio.There he found his friend painting a beggar, who was an old man in rags.Hughie felt so sorry for the poor model that he gave him the only pound he had.The old model was actually a millionaire.When he heard all about Hughie and Laura, and their problem, he had a cheque for ten thousand pounds delivered to him the very next day.The couple were happily married,and the beggar attended their wedding.The story shows that a genuine millionaire is not one who has, but who give.L9 Only Three More Days P139 The author got a solution finally.What was the solution? Was it risky? He laid out the diaries in two big steel suitcases.Over them he palced a number of his broadcast scripts, each page of which had been stamped by the military and civilian censors as passed for broadcast.On top he put a few General Staff maps he had picked up from friends.Then he phoned the Gestapo Headquarters to say he had a couple of suicases full of his dispatches, broadcasts and notes that he wanted to take out of the country.As he was flying off early the next day, there would be no time for Gestapo official at the airfield to go over the contents.Could they take a look now,if he brought them over;and if they approved, put a Gestapo seal on the suitcases so he wouldnt be held up at the airport? Yes,it was risky.He thought life in the Third Reich had always been risky.It was worth a try.L10 The Washwoman P155 Describe the situation that“I”saw the old washwoman for last time.One evening, while Mother was sitting near the oil lamp mending a shirt, the door opened and a small puff of steam, followed by a gigantic bag, entered the room.I ran toward the old woman and helped her unload her bag.She was even thinner now, more bent.Her head shook from side to side as though she were saying no.She could not utter a clear word, but mumbled something with her sunken mouth and pale lips.After the old woman had recovered somewhat, she told us that she had been ill badly.But as soon as she was able to stand on her feet once more, she began her washing.She said “I could not rest easy in my bed because of the wash.The wash would not let me die.……I dont want to be a burden on anyone!”
L11 How I Served My Apprenticeship 170 Why was Andrew Carnegie so pround of the one dollor and twenty cents--the first pay he brought home? Carnegie was very pround of the one dollar and twenty cents he earned for the first time in his life when he was only twelve.The money, though small in amount, meant a great deal.First, when he got his first pay he felt that he had grown up.He was no longer a boy who had to depend on his parents;he had become a man who was able to help support the family, a contributing member.This was important because at that time life was hard for the family and it was difficult for his parents to manage alone.Also he though the money was the direct reward of honest manual labor.It represented a week of very hard work.This money gave him the greatest satisfaction of being rewarded for what he had done.L12 A Friend of the Environment P185 Why did Rachel Carson write the Silent Spring? Whats the content of it? Because she felt that the wonders of Nature are precious and permanent, and much of Nature was forever beyond the destruction of man.But then she discovered she was wrong.She learned with sadness that little in Nature is truly beyond the tampering reach of man.Then, She wrote the book Silent Spring to sound a startling warming to mankind and the book showed quite clearly that man was endangering himself and everything else on this planet by his indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides.As her title suggests, Miss Carson was saying that there might come a springtime that would indeed be silent because the birds, as well as other creatures, and plants would have been destroyed by the man-made poisons used to kill crop-threateding insects.L13 Who Shall Dwell? P201 In the story Who shall Dwell?, how did the fatners attitude towards the neighbours change? What brought about the change? When the bomb alert came, the father was clear that he had built the shelter for his own family, and that he would not let anybody else in.So when his neighbours came and asked to share the shelter he rejected them flatly.When a monther begged him to take her little girl in , he did not know what to do.At that monent his wife dashed outside and pushed the girl in.her act set him thinking hard.Just a moment before the first bomb struck he made a big decision.After giving his elder son a few instructions, he stepped out and shoved two children into the shelter.He stood beside his wife, ready to spend the last minute with her.His change seemed sudden, but was actually quite natural.He loved his children, so he was greatly affected by the monthers plea and gave the chance of surival to the two children.Also his love for his wife led him to follow her example.L14 Cipher in the Snow P218 Describe Cliff Evans life before his sudden death.Cliff Evans lived with his mother, stepfather and five younger half brothers and sisters.His stepfather had never legally adopted him, nor did he show any affection for him.At home Cliff didnt talk much and had never told his family about his problems.When he began school, he was timid but eager to learn.And his IQ was pretty good.Then in the third grade a teacher wrote in the school record that he was uncooperative and slow.Since then he had never got any encouragement from his teachers.Gradually, the child had no more confidence left.He never smiled nor talked much.He had no friends;he had never belonged to a club, never played on a team and never held an office.He came to school by himself and left by himself.In class, he would sit back in the last seat.Finally he became silent and lonely.He became nothing.L15 Bribery--An Inevitable Evil? P232 What are the major forms of bribery? Bribery can be classified into three broad categories.The first category consisits of large amounts of money paid for political purposes or to secre major contracts.For example, a certain American company offered big sums of money to support a U.S.presidential candidate when it was nder investigation.Also in order to get big contracts, such payments are often made to ruling families or their close advisers.The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project.In such cases, the money is often paid to key goverment officials concerned.The third category involves payments made in certain countries to make a business deal easy to get approved.For instance, a foreign company may pay to get permission to import equipment.A common type of this category is the facilitating payment to clear cargoes.These are smaller sums of money paid to customs officials.L16 A Social Event P250 What do you know about Randy and Carle in A Social Even? Why are they anxious to get invited to Scottys funeral? Randy and Carole are a young Hollywood couple.They have been married only a short time.Both have achieved a certain degree of success in pictures, but their careers in the show business are still in the promising stage.Scotty Woodrow, a world-famous movie star has just died, and Randy and Carole are anxious to go to his funeral, which will be a gathering of celebrities and is regarded as a big social event.It is said that flowers have come from the U.S.President and the British Queen.Randy and Carole think it is extremely important for their career to be seen there with a lot of big shots.But they havet got an invitation while some of their Hollywood friends, also young actors and actresses like themselves, have been invited.Thats why they are worried and are trying hard to find ways of getting themselves invited in the last minute book II L1 Illustrate with manners Dr.Peale mentions in his article Courtesy.Dr.Peale lists three things as the basic ingredients of good manners: a stong sense of justice,the abilit to share another persons inner feelings and the capacity to treat all people alike.Once a mam was driving along a long, narrow and dusty road ahead of another car.Suddenly he stopped off the road and told the driver of the car behind to get ahead of him.He did not want the other person to put up with his dust all the way.This is a man with a strong sense of justice.A courteous person can also understand the pain or unhapiness of others.He/She offers help without hurting the feelings of the other person because he/she shares their emotions as if they were his/her own.Finally, a person with good manners treats all people alike,whether they are lain citizens or big shots.He /She never asks whether the other person deserves their good manners.L2 How did Mr.Fotheringay discover his unusual powers and how did he take advantage of them? It was while he was trying to prove the impossibility of miracles that Mr.Fotheringay discovered his extraordinary powers.He was having a drink in a bar.A person called Toddy opposed everything he said.This made him very angry.He wanted to show oddy that the lamp there couldnt burn upside down without breaking no matter how he wished it to do so.But as soon as he said,Turn upside down without breaking,the lamp did as Fotheringay had just said.Back at home he experimented with his magical powers and came to see that he could with things.The next day he began to take advantage of this unusual power.By his will he first got a fresh goose-egg for breakfast.In the same way he got the whole days work done in 10 minutes.He also created a number of useful things and increased his personal property.L3 P47 How did Mr.Fotheringays attitude towards miracles changes? Mr.Fotheringay didnt believe in miracles until he was thirty years old.It was while he was asserting the impossibility of miracles that he discovered his extraordery powers.One day,when he was having a drink in a bar,Toddy Beamish opposed everything he said,so he decided to make an unusual effort.He tried to illustrate what was a miracle by giving a special example,that is ,to make a lamp upside down and go on burning steadily without falling.To his great surprise,what he said came true.Everyone was astonished as it.They all didnt believe it.After going back home,he tried his will power.He scceeded in getting a match and lighting the candle with his will power.He wondered at his will power.Then he tried to get himself a nightsirt,lay and cook a goose-egg,do one days work in ten minutes,make walking stick blossom,and sent the policeman to Hades,then to San Francisco by using his will power.In the end he felt delighted even though he understood that the gift reqired cation and watchfulness.L4 P61 What did Kaz see on that day? When she saw a B-29 bomber approaching,it didnt frighten her,because she thought Hiroshima was the only peaceful city dring the war.Bt,then,Kaz saw the bomb falling awa from the plane and drifting down towards her.The jorney took 43 seconds.A loud explosion reverberated in the air.A mshroon could rose over the remains of the city.Kaz was thrown to the ground s violently that her two front teech broke of.She lost conscousness.When she came to herself,she found ther was a dead silence around,broken only by the cries of the dying.Their house crashed dowm.Her father had the front of his body brnt.When her brother came back ,she could barely recognize him through his wounds.As night fell,she and her brother made for the mountains to look for a friend of Kazs who offered to take them in.There Kaz looked backand saw the city on fire.She left her brother behind and ran down the hillside towards the flames for her parents.The streets were filled with the dead and the barely living.L5 P77 How did the Wades celebrate the Christmas? Several days before Chritmas,theyd gone down to their own little farm.They had cut a tree in their own woods.They had eaten and slept,and read by the light of oil lamps.The children had been more than satisfied with their presents;there had been balls,erector sets, a number of story books,and a lot of jnk from the five-and-ten for the boys,and for Laura,a picture Emily had found cheap in a second-art shop and samll brooch that had belong to Henrys mother.it was Lauras obvios pleasure that had brightened everything.Whether she was chopping wood,or roming with her brothers,or basting the turkey,or talking politics very sensibly with her father,shed seemed to radiate hapiness.On New Years Eve,they had given her a weak highball,the first shed ever had,and she had gone to sleep sitting on the floor with her rosy cheek against Henrys knee.The family all had a very wonderful time!
L6 P94 What is the characteristic of Britains landscape that goes with variety? With variety goes surprise.Ours is the country of happy surprises.You have never to travel long without being pleasantly astonished.It would not be difficult to compile a list of such surprises that would fill the next fifty pages,but I will content myself with suggesting the first few that occur to me.If you go down into the West Contry,among rounded hills and soft pastures,you suddenly arrive at the bleak tablelands as if the North had left a piece of itself down there.But before you have reached them you have already been surprised by the queer bit of marshland,as if a former inhabitant had been sent to Cambridge and had brought his favourite marshland walk back from college with him into the West.L7 P110 In the authors opinion,what does love mean? Love means that I know the person I love.Love means that I care about the welfare of the person I love.Love means having respect for the dignity of the person I love.Love means having a responsibility toward the person I love.Love means growth for both myself and the person I love.Love can tolerate imperfection.Love is freeing.Love is expansive.Love means having want for the person I love without having a need for that person in order to be complete.love means identifying within the person we love.L8 P126 How did philips design an atomic bomb in his junior year at Princeton? Philips read over the book on nuclear-reactor technology,general nclear physics,and current atomic theory.Besides,he listened to Dysons explanations of the basic principles of nuclear physics.That wasnt enough.In order to find more useful information,Phillips went to Washington.D.C.,to search for records of the Los Alamos Project that were declassified between 1954 and 1964.He discovered a copy of the literature which carefully outlined all the details of atomic fissioning known to the worlds most advanced scientists in the early 1940s.The biggest problem involved in the explosion of an atomic bomb was how to arrange the explosives around the plutonium.Another problem he was faced with was which explosive he should use to create a very high density.After finding errors,Philips ran through a series of new calculations,carefully figuring the arrangement of the explosives around the plutnium.If his equations were correct,his atomic bomb would expode effectively as expected.But he should know the exact nature of the explosives he would use.Fortunately,he got the very information about these explosives from Du pont Company.Now,so to speak,he already succeeded in designing an atomic bomb on paper.L9 P143 What do you think are the advantages and goading? I think goading is a good way to prod the children to behave well.In a way ,goading is positive.As human beings,we all have the sense of self--respect and will be proud of our little achievement.If there are occasious prods in the rear,we will in time be conscious of our inefficiency ,and then press ourselves to achieve higher aims.Just as it affected John and his cousin,goading from time to time can prevent children from being proun of their little achievement.It can make them more modest and prudent.The modest receive benifit,while the conceited reap failure.However,we could not say it is without any harm.Sometimes it might be harmful.it may disappoint children and cause them to lose heart.Perhaps they will collapse after one setback.Therefore,only goading itself is not enough;it must be combined with the proper method to carry it out.L10 P158 What is your idea about a true friend? In my view,a true friend should be honest,loyal and willing to help.Honesty in friendship means that we should be sincere anf frank.We should not hsitate to point out our friends shortcomings and should never try to cover uo their errors.What we should do is to encourage and help them to improve.Loyalty is impaortant if we want the relationship to last.We have confidence in one another in fine wether and in rainy days.We dont desert our friends when they run into trouble.Not do we cling to them in their sccess.We share with our friends both joy and sorrow.True friends are the people we can turn to in all circumstances,as the saying goes,“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”They are always ready to lend a helping hand to pull us out of tight corner.I believe in true friendship though truefriends are not easy to find.L11 P174 Was there difference between Baker and Doris?What were their mothers expections of them? Doris was quite different from Baker in character.Take the example of gumption,Baker lacked it but Doris had enough of it for a dozen people.What Baker liked to do most was lying in front of the radio rereading his favourite Big Little Book,Dick Tracy Meets Stooge Viller.In contrast,Doris liked activity.When she was olny seven,she could carry a piece of short-weighted cheese back to the A&P,threaten the manager with legal action and come back triumphantly with the full quarter pound theyd paid for and a new extra thrown in for forgiveness.Mrs.Baker expected her son to make something of himself.She did not expect Doris to do the same only because Doris was a girl.The best a capable girl could hope for was to become a nurse or school teacher.L12 P191 Describe the Bakers family background and their life then.Then Great Depression,the worst time before the World War Two,broke out, which lasted from 1929-1933.The year 1932 was the bleakest time in the Great Depression.The Great Depression began in America and spread all over the Eropean countries quickly.Also ,it was the Great Depressin that led to the Second World War.Millions of people were out of work.Many factories and landlords went bankrupt.The year 1932 was the climax of the Depression.The athors father had died two years before,leaving them with a few pieces of Sears, Roebuck furniture and not much else.His family was poor so that his mother had to take his sister, Doris, and him to live with one of her younger brothers, uncle Allen,who had made something of himself by 1932 as a salesman for a soft-drink bottle and had an income of $30 a week.L13 What are the two dangers to be guarded against in old age? One of these is too great an absorption in the past.One should not live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead.Ones thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done.This is not always easy;ones own past is a gradually increasing weight.It is easy to think to oneself that ones emotions used to be more vivid that they are, and ones imnd more keen.If this is true, it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of finding strength in its vitality.When your children are grown uos they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, unless they are unusually insensible.L14 P223 What kind of person was the lighthouse keeper? I think the lighthouse keeper was a person that deserves our respect and admiration.Life in the lighthouse seemed very simple and dull, but he had no desire for anything that he did not need or anything that was beyond his power to obtain.For this reason he declined the tobacco Rudolf offered.Though his world was limited, his mind was as spacious as the ocean he lived closed to.He was kind and generous to Rudolf, a stranger who had come to the lighthouse to seek shelter from the storm.He did not know what a violin was and had never heard msic before, but he could understand Beethovens work Rudolf played for him.He was a man of few words, and did not show much warmth towards Rudolf, but deep down he was greatly attached to his guest.To him the violin was part of the man he wanted to know more about, not something he was interested in because he had never seen it before.L15 P238 Why the author mentions that it is impossible to measure the importance of Edison by adding up the specific inventions with which his name is associated? Because he thinks that although many inventions of Edison have been in their effect upon modern civilization, the total effect of Edisons career surpasses the sum of all of them.He did not merely make the lamp and the phonograph and innmerable other devices practicable for general use;it was given to him to demonstrate the power of applied science so concretely, so understandably, so convincingly that he altered the mentality of mankind.In his lifetime,largely because of his successes, there came into widest acceptance the revolutionary conception that man could by the use of his intelligence invent a new mode of living on this planet;the human spirit, which in all previous ages had regarded the confidently,and perhaps somewhat naively, adopted the conviction that anything could be changed and everything could be controlled.L16Why so many parents indulge their children with too many material things? In recent years,our life standard is become better and better.Someone usually said that the children now were more lucky than the children in the past because now their requirements can be well satisfied, especially for material things.Some parents think that they should give their children everything they want because they love htem.And also because some parents have ahd difficult was young, they are glad to fulfil

第三篇:自考英語學習心得
付出總有收獲
因為家境貧寒,盡管我成績很好,但還是選擇上了一所省城的中專。畢業后,為了圓自己的大學夢,我走進了沒有圍墻的大學,開始了我的自考之路。
因為英語基礎較好,加上對英語有著濃厚的興趣,我選擇了英語專業。周圍的同事有的熱衷于漂亮的衣服、發型,有的流連在琳瑯滿目的化妝品中,而我則節衣縮食,將節省下來的錢用來買書,買英語磁帶,刻苦學習。也有人曾潑冷水說,又不出國學了也沒用,有好幾個認識的人學英語,中途都放棄了,太難了。可是我并沒有被嚇倒,相反我更是不屈不撓的堅持了下來,我想英語是一門國際型語言,一扇窗口,它向我們展示的將是一片廣闊的天地,一派新奇的景象,學好它是大有益處的。記得那是很冷的冬天,我提前幾天就去熟悉了一下考點位置,可臨考前晚卻下了厚厚的一場大雪,第二天我早早就起了床,周末的街道冷冷清清,我幾經輾轉,又冒著凜冽的寒風在雪地里步行了半個多小時后,終于來到了考點,那次缺考的同學很多,我不禁在心里為自己豎起了大拇指。焦急的一個多月后,我迫不及待的查詢分數,52分,我的心一下子跌到了谷底,委屈的淚水奪眶而出,考試的嚴格,讀書的枯燥,學習的疲憊,心里的壓力,別人異樣的眼光,孤軍奮戰的無助,猶如自考路上的“攔路虎”,一瞬間象潮水般涌向我。痛定思痛之后,我反省自責,分析原因找不足,我在心里暗暗下定決心,下次一定要考過,這次的失敗讓我越挫越勇,重新整裝待發。我狠下功夫,每天堅持背記單詞,增加閱讀量,聽錄音磁帶,查詢各種學習資料,彌補自己的不足,在實踐中積累學習英語的經驗和方法,終于在下一次的考試中通過了這門。我在心里對自己說:再苦再累,不要放棄.有付出必有收獲!寒來暑往,朝朝暮暮,時光荏苒。當年青春年少的我,如今已嫁作他人婦,但是唯一沒有改變的是我從未想放棄過我的自考,自考已成為我生活中不可缺少的部分。工作的辛苦,持家的勞碌,讀書的枯燥,臨考復習時的緊張和彷徨,考試時的緊張、興奮與刺激,上網查詢分數時的忐忑與不安,屢次失敗的悔恨,一次通過僅剩下兩門課程的狂喜……一幕幕在我的腦海里回放。記得那時候孩子很小,又很吵鬧,家里有很多的事情要做,因此家人之間也難免會產生矛盾。一天的忙碌過后下班回到家里,我還得操勞家務,還得哄小孩,只能一個人在靜靜的夜晚,挑燈夜戰,第二天又拖著疲憊的身軀趕去上班。有時候沒有考過,自己覺得很無奈,特別是差幾分而沒有通過好懊悔,家人卻還嘮叨,得不到理解和支持,得不到精神上的安慰和鼓勵,當時的我內心好無助,只因我內心里有一個信念,我一定要圓我的大學夢,我堅持了下來。
自考的道路是坎坷的,但也是充實的,忙碌的,苦中有甜,我付出了許多,也收獲了許多……
如果學習成了一種自覺的活動,就會感到學習并非一件苦差事。自考是我永遠忠誠的朋友,給我生機活力,給我奮進的勇氣和決心。自考啟迪靈魂,開發智慧,拓展才華,提高品位——它給了我太多太多的饋贈。當我取得一個個工作成績,當領導對我的素質和能力表示贊賞,當同事投來羨慕的目光,所有的付出都得到了回報,多年的努力都覺得很值得。在英語學習方面,我也積累了自己的一套方法和經驗。英語學習并非難事,關鍵在于要用心去學,首先,要舍得投入精力和時間,要有恒心,一般說來,付出總與收獲成正比,持之以恒,英語水平就有了相應的提高。其次通過有意識的大量閱讀、一方面擴大了詞匯量,另一方面培養了語感。而這兩方面我認為是掌握一種語言的兩大支柱。而語言就是這樣,是相互促進的,語感好,在練習聽力及口語時都會感覺到你以前在閱讀中學到的有多重要。讀的東西多了,詞匯量足夠大,語感足夠強,在聽方面,聽英語磁帶再結合聽廣播,這樣精聽和泛聽結合,進步也很快,其他的技能,只要勤加練習,也就自然而然的提高了。而且我把自己的這些經驗和孩子溝通交流,和孩子一起共同學習,在英語的道路上共同進步,受益匪淺,現在正在上初中的孩子的英語成績一直都名列前茅;自考也開闊了我的眼界,現代化的語音室,以及古樸典雅,巍峨壯觀的武大校園……讓我感受到了撲面而來的有著悠久歷史和深厚人文底蘊的重點大學的人文氣息。更重要的是自考磨練了我的意志。自考是鐵面無私、殘酷無情的,但也是公正的。成功的殿堂只對勇于挑戰自我、努力拼搏進取的人開放。自考之路不可能是一路坦途,沿途一定會有坎坷,有泥濘,有別人的誤解的目光。只有堅定不移,不改初衷,跋山涉水,日夜兼程,才能峰回路轉,豁然開朗,領略到無限風光。寧靜和堅韌可以致遠,浮躁和投機取巧必將半途而廢。可以說自考是考一個人的意志和勤奮。在自考中提升自己的各種能力,綜合素質的提高才真正激勵我們攀登職業高峰。
經歷這番風雨的洗禮,我的一顆心將會被磨練得圓潤平和,更加懂得珍惜生活和笑看人生。我知道現在的自考文憑改變不了我什么,畢竟年齡偏大了,但我的付出,我的知識的收獲,我的大學夢想的實現,我覺得沒有白費.它將激勵我繼續學習, 充實自己......我覺得自考的目的不在文憑,關鍵在于多學點實用知識,多充實自己,對我而言,自考文憑已不再重要。感謝自考,讓我學會堅持;感謝自考,讓我知道所有的付出終能得到回報!

第五篇:自考英語經驗
自考英語經驗:計劃大于一切
2011-10-18 10:36 網絡 【大 中 小】【我要糾錯】
我的英語自考自學方法歸納起來有四點:
一是盡早計劃,二是見縫插針,三是及時復習,四是一鼓作氣。
作為一名已經參加工作的自學考生,這種學習方法也是我在不斷地總結,不斷地調整的基礎上形成的,不會適合每個人,僅此作為一點建議。
在學習過程中,我發現有的課程由于自己沒有安排好具體的計劃,胸無成竹,或是由于生活瑣事或是工作任務的原因,有時會虎頭蛇尾,開始時對自己說要如何如何努力,要如何有效率的讀書,最后卻是草草收場。靜下心來,細細想想才發現自學英語是一個需要韌性和耐力遠遠大于激情和速度改正了浮躁的毛病,我開始在每次考試結束后,就開始準備制訂下
一次考試的計劃。
在了解大致的章節篇數之后,我會訂出要在何時結束課程學習,何時開始復習,何時開始做題。這是一個總打算。除此之外,我還要制訂出更詳細更具體的計劃,具體到一個章節需要多長時間,一天要看多少內容,各門課程在一個月之內如何安排,在一星期之內、一天之內如何安排,總之,盡量詳細,盡量具體,把學習進度可行化,當然,一定要留有空隙,給一些自己估計不到的事留出時間,最后,要按照計劃切實執行,認真對待,這樣既能做到
心中有數,步步為營,也不致于耽誤工作或被一些瑣事擾亂了全局。
為了使工作學習互不影響,也為了不讓計劃之外的事情影響學習,我總是見縫插針,抓住一切有限時間學習。有時我會拿不到學習時間為借口偷懶,然而正想集中精神讀書時卻因為恰恰此時有事而不得不放下書本。所以盡可能提早完成任務而不是不得不拖后,不要等計劃的時間,要在事情沒到之前就已經完成了計劃。還有就是要做學習卡片以便隨身攜帶,能夠充分利用零碎時間。這是許多人都建議采納的一種學習方法,我試著把前一天所記的內容
都記在卡片上第二天在坐車、等車時看看能及時強化記憶。
做學習卡片是一種及時復習的好方法,除此外,每天晚上最好要做一個一天學習的總結,明確自己什么已經記住了,什么還需要第二輪復習,等等。如果沒有時間,也要在腦子里把一天所學的知識進行回憶,使每道題從頭到尾都有一個很連貫的思路,沒有記住的一定要記下來,以便再次鞏固。而以前的總結也要隨時翻看,這樣做看似比較費時,其實為以后的總
復習打下了一個很好的基礎。
訂計劃容易,做起來難。一旦決定照此下去,一定要堅持不懈,一鼓作氣,而一旦形成習慣,感覺不會太艱難了。每天早晨6點起床看書是我堅持了10多天而得的習慣,剛剛習慣成自然,可偏偏趕上了過年,幾天的吃住在外使得我不得不重新再來。一鼓作氣,再而衰,三而竭。讓我們共勉。
