1.二戰(zhàn)時,曼徹斯特飽受空襲之苦。成長在那里,意味著歲月艱難、錢財短缺、心情焦慮,也意味著許多家庭都是當鋪的常客,包括我家。
2.不過,我的父母最是樂觀向上。他們用勤勞、自尊和滿屋子的歡笑撐起了這個家。我父親身體結實,心靈手巧,他那雙手幾乎無所不能,從不缺木匠和手工活兒。他甚至偶爾還會參加偏 僻街道的拳擊比賽,補貼家用。我母親勤儉節(jié)約,把家收拾得干凈利落。盡管條件艱苦,但她總能讓自己的五個孩子吃得飽飽、穿得整整齊齊、干干凈凈地上學去。
3.問題是:雖說我的衣服熨得有棱有角,皮鞋擦得錚亮錚亮的,可總有些地方不符合標準校服的要求。盡管母親縮衣節(jié)食為我籌到了大部分裝束,但我仍然沒能湊齊學校指定的藍色運動上衣和帽圈。
4.由于戰(zhàn)爭影響,開始實施配給制度,大部分學校也放寬了對正規(guī)校服的要求,因為學校明白能有衣服穿已屬不易。然而,我就讀的女子學校卻嚴格規(guī)定,每位學生必須穿正規(guī)的校服。于是那位負責每天集合的副校長就將訓斥我視為她的任務來做。
5.盡管我試圖去解釋我為何沒能按規(guī)定著裝,盡管我也正逐漸向全套校服靠近,我每天依然會被揪出隊列,在臺上罰站,作為對違反校服規(guī)定者的警戒。
6.我每天站在同學面前,只能強忍淚水,不僅羞愧難耐,而且常常只有我一人挨罰。對我的懲罰還擴大到不能上體操課或者我鐘愛的每周一次的交誼舞課。我多么希望在這所可怕的學校里,哪怕只有一位老師能睜開雙眼看看我能夠做什么,而不是不停地告訴我不能做什么啊!
7.不過,12歲的我在心里也毫無選擇,只有眼睜睜地挨受懲罰。我明白不能讓仁厚的母親知道我所遭受的這種習慣性羞辱,這點非常重要。我也不敢冒險讓她到學校替我求情,因為我知道那些心胸狹隘、不講情面的教員們也同樣會令她難堪,這意味著到時我們母女倆都要傷心、憤怒。老天!要是母親再 告訴父親的話,他立馬會大發(fā)雷霆,沖到學校來保護我。
8.一天,我們?nèi)以谝患覉蠹埮e辦的不收取費用的肖像模特攝影比賽中獲了獎。我為此興奮不已:那些好萊塢女星魅力四射的照片更令我想入非非。我迫不及待地想把這個激動人心的消息告訴朋友們。
9.在那之前,母親告訴我必須穿那件綠色蕾絲鑲邊裙——我最好的服裝——去上學,因為攝影比賽正好安排在放學之后。她絲毫沒有意識到我所要面臨的痛苦。
10.那天,我沒有往常穿上這件心愛衣服時的喜悅。我心情郁悶地拖著沉重的步伐來到學校,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己成為了藍色海洋中的一顆綠寶石。集合的時候,我沒等人下命令就慢步走上臺,去承受其他女生的竊笑和副校長那尖刻的眼神。
11.當我第無數(shù)次想到,這位老師怎么會如此麻木不仁,竟然從未透過我的著裝,看看這顆順從聽話、渴望參與的女孩的心靈的時候,沮喪的淚水幾欲奪眶而出。
12.集合之后的第一節(jié)課是我鐘愛的英國文學,上課的教師也是我所鐘愛的。我安慰自己說,至少我可以在后排座位上暫時沉浸在查爾斯·狄更斯的《雙城記》之中,以便能回過神兒鎮(zhèn)定下來。可是上課鈴一響,麥克維小姐就叫我坐在前排正對她的座位上。可想而知,我當時是多么驚慌失措。我緩慢地站了起來,忍著淚水,走到前排。心想,麥克維小姐不會也加入到敵人的陣營里了吧?
13.我在前排坐下,麥克維小姐將頭扭到一邊,上下仔細地打量著我。接著,她說出了在那所討厭的學校里聽到的最中聽的一句話。
14.“親愛的,我敢說你是這所死氣沉沉的學校里一道最亮麗、最可愛的風景。可惜啊,我只能有幸看你一節(jié)課,而不是一整天。”我幼小心靈中的那塊堅冰瞬間消融了,我也不禁挺直了肩膀。
15.我相信我當時回敬她的笑容是她所見過的最燦爛的笑容了。她仔細斟酌的話語溫暖了我,讓我興高采烈地度過了整整一天。
16.我垂著雙眼低著頭。在一次又一次地被叫出隊列之后,雖然我始終竭力不讓自己的痛苦
外露,但淚水還是又差點出賣了我內(nèi)心的沮喪。
17.雖然麥克維小姐的專長是英語文學,但那天她卻給我——給全班——上了一堂持憐憫之心的課,我永志不忘。她讓我明白,一句及時的友善之言可以讓人受益終生。著實,她貼心的話讓我內(nèi)心變得堅強起來,再也不為什么人、什么事所傷害。

課文
1.It’s surgery of the soul, the loving, healing way to create new beginnings out of past pain.這是心靈的外科手術,充滿愛心,療效顯著,可以擺脫過去的傷痛,開創(chuàng)新的起點。2.You are not alone.We all muddle our way through a world where even well-meaning people hurt one another.A friend betrays us;a parent abuses us;a spouse leaves us.然而,有此不幸者,絕非你一人。混沌塵世間,無人可獨善其身;好心好意,也會互有傷害。會有朋友的背叛,會有父母的錯怪,會有配偶的棄離。
3.Hate is our natural response to deep and unfair hurts.A woman wishes her former husband would be miserable with his new wife.A man whose friend has betrayed him hopes the friend will be fired from his job.? 仇恨,是我們對刻骨銘心、天理難容的傷害的自然反應。女人會詛咒她的前夫與新妻子不得安生,男人會因朋友背叛而希望人家丟了飯碗。
4.Hate is a malignancy that festers and grows, stifling joy and threatening our health.It hurts the hater more than the hated.It must be cut out — for our own sake.? 仇恨是一種會化膿、膨脹的惡性腫瘤,扼殺我們的快樂,威脅我們的健康;它對恨人者的傷害比對被恨者的傷害更大。為了我們自己,我們必須消除仇恨。
5.Confront your malice.None of us wants to admit that we hate someone, so we hide it from ourselves.But the fury denied rages beneath the surface and infects all our relationships.? 直面你的怨意。沒有人會承認自己仇恨某人,因此,我們都把仇恨藏在心底。但這種深藏的怒火在我們心底燃燒,感染著我們的人際關系。
6.Admitting our hate compels us to make a decision about the surgery of the soul we call forgiving.We must acknowledge what has happened, face up to the other person and say: “You did me wrong.”
? 承認心中所藏的仇恨,可促使我們決定對稱之為“寬恕”的心靈做一次外科手術。我們必須承認既成的事實,勇敢地面對對方,說出:“你對不住我了!”
7.Separate the wrongdoer from the wrong.The Bible describes, in the ancient drama of atonement, how God took a bundle of human sins off man’s back, tied it to a goat, and sent the “scapegoat” to a “solitary land”.? 區(qū)別對待犯錯之人與所犯之錯。《圣經(jīng)》中記載了古代的贖罪情節(jié),上帝從人類的脊背上集攏了一大捆罪惡,綁到了羊的身上,然后把這只“替罪羊”遣送到一個“荒無人煙的地方”。
8.Forgiving is finding a new vision of the person who has wronged us, the person stripped of his sins — who really lives beneath the cloak of his wrongdoing.? 寬恕,就是找到一個新的視角看待那個曾經(jīng)錯待我們的人,那個與他所犯罪過剝離的人——實際上,他是生活在他以往過失的外衣之下。
? 寬恕意味著用一種新的眼光去審視傷害我們的人,排除他的過錯,看看那不道德的外衣下究竟是一個什么樣的人。
9.Persuasive arguments have been made against forgiving.Some say that forgiveness is unjust because the wrongdoer should not be let off the hook.Others say forgiveness is a sign of weakness.Bernard Shaw called it “a beggar’s refuge”.? 有些巧言善辯之人反對寬恕。有人說:寬恕之舉缺乏公正,因為不應該讓犯錯之人逃之夭夭。還有人說:寬恕之舉是一種軟弱的表現(xiàn)。肖伯納稱之為“乞丐的庇護所”。? 10.Vengeance never evens the score.It ties both the injured and the injurer to an endless escalator of retaliation.?
復仇永遠不能讓雙方扯平,而只會把受害人和害人者綁在一臺永不停息的相互報復的自動扶梯上。
? 11.Gandhi was right: If we all live by the “eye for an eye” brand of justice, the whole world will be blind.? 甘地說的對:假如我們都生活在“以眼還眼(以其人之道還治其人之身)”的公正法則中,那么,整個世界都將受到蒙蔽/陷入黑暗。
? 12.Theologian Reinhold Niebuhr said after World War II: “We must finally be reconciled with our foe, lest we both perish in the vicious circle of hatred.” ? 神學家萊因霍爾德·尼布爾在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后說:“我們必須最終與我們的敵人和解,不然,我們都將在仇恨的惡毒輪回中毀滅。” ?
‘Vicious circle’
13.To understand forgiveness, we should keep in mind that we are seldom merely sinned against.? 要理解寬恕之舉,我們應該時時牢記,我們很難得是單純受到冤屈的一群。
14.You may contribute to your spouse’s infidelity by ignoring your partner’s needs and desires, or bring on your children’s rebellion by your cold judgments and hot temper.? 你配偶的不忠,很可能是由于你對對方的需求和欲望視而不見;你孩子的反叛,很可能是因為你言辭冷酷、脾氣暴躁。
1.I’m certain that nothing I can say will remove that feeling of disappointment, particularly in a climate where grades determine eligibility for graduate school and special program.(Para.1)我肯定無論我說什么都不會消除你的沮喪心情,特別是在我們生活的環(huán)境中,考試分數(shù)直接決定你是否有資格讀研究生和申請一些特別的學習項目。
2.The essence of success is that there’s never enough of it to go round in a zero-sum game where one person’s winning must be offset by another’s losing, one person’s joy offset by another’s disappointment.(Para.2)我們所生活的社會就像一個歸零游戲,只要有人贏,就會有人輸;只要有人感到幸福,就會有人感到沮喪。從來都不存在大家都成功而沒有人失落的情況。這就是成功的核心因素。
3.In a different society, your disappointment might be something you could shrug away.But not in ours.(Para.2)假如你處在另一個社會里,你可以對你的沮喪置之不理,但是在我們這個社會里是無法回避的。
4.… when I got out of the service …(Para.6)……當我退役的時候……
5....men who had but recently put away their uniforms and identities: former platoon sergeants, bomber pilots, corporals, captains, lieutenants, commanders, majors — even a lieutenant colonel …(Para.7)
他們剛脫下軍裝,不再具有自己軍人的身份,他們曾是:陸軍副排長、轟炸機飛行員、下士、上尉、中尉、指揮官、陸軍少校——甚至還有陸軍中校……
6.Nor did they resent him for shifting suddenly from a friendly gear to a coercive one.(Para.8)他們也不因他突然從和藹可親的態(tài)度轉向嚴厲苛刻的面孔而憎恨他。
7.To recognize them is to recognize that social labels are basically irrelevant and misleading.(Para.9)如果弄清了它們的真實意義我們就會明白社會標簽本來就毫無關系,而且會誤導人。
1.My heart aches every moment because everywhere I look I see piles of rubble where houses used to stand and lifeless bodies that once moved around with the joy of life inside them.我所到之處滿目瘡痍,樓房夷為瓦礫,活人成了死尸,生命的歡樂已然封存在這一具具尸體之內(nèi)。這一切時時刻刻都在刺痛我的心。
2.Of course, I was like them, but I have changed my views since the last D-Day, when our regiment was assigned to protect London.當然,我也曾經(jīng)和他們一樣。但是自從上一個進攻日開始,我的想法改變了。當時我們團的任務是保衛(wèi)倫敦。
Translate:
3.If I return home I vow to keep these soldier’s memories alive by telling their families they died bravely in an effort to save their country from turmoil.如果我能回國,我發(fā)誓一定要讓這些戰(zhàn)士英名長存。我要告訴他們的家人:他們?yōu)榱吮Pl(wèi)祖國,使之免受劫難,英勇地獻出了自己的生命。
4.Humans do err, but that is no excuse for ending innocent lives and destroying whole countries!雖說人非圣賢,孰能無過,但是濫殺無辜,毀人國土,實在是天理難容!
1.Faced with the unconquerable linguistic problems, translators managed to deal with the differences between languages and thought of a vision that was similar to the original in spirit.面對不可逾越的語言障礙,譯者們對語言的界限進行揣摩,并最終達成一個折中的解決方案。
2.Those best placed to help that process may not be the ones with the latest technology and state-of-the-art mobile phones, but those with the skills to understand what lies in, under and beyond the words spoken in many different languages.最有助于促進世界和平進程的也許不是那些掌握最新技術或使用最時髦的移動電話的人,而是那些掌握了理解許多不同語言的字面含義、隱含意義與超越詞語本身意義的技巧的人。

2)I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day.I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have — a new pair of shoes or some new clothes.Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river.My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour.I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.(139 words)2.Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager.When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.My father is a well-known carpenter in my village.I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers.He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge.All the villagers respected him.They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father.I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.(116 words)

Theme Related Writing Write a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.a.I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert.I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I.When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me.I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent.In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot.Maybe being happy is the attraction.I like bright colours, especially red.It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy.I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time.So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.(141words)
b.The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother.He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven.He is a high achiever.Since young, he has done well in his studies and work.For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England.Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding.He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards.What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky.He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries.His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.(131 words)c.If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person.I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with what they have.They seldom let sadness be a part of their life.I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy.I also would like to be creative.I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.(131 words)
d.Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them.I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next.His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her.Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves.There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends.If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.(143 words)Unit 4 Enhance Your Language Awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.They were smashing windows when the police arrived.2.70,000 tons of oil spilled from the tanker(油輪)and the sea was polluted.3.She volunteered to write an explanation of how the new computer system works.4.The book was inspired by the good deeds(事跡)of a real person.5.It was blowing hard and very soon the tree in front of my house fell with a great crash.6.The police report stated that he was once arrested for theft.7.The Dean(系主任)is not available at the moment, but you may call back in an hour.8.Up to two million people there are dependent on food aid.9.It was most unfortunate that I missed the chance to be interviewed by the company director.10.Can we find a mutually convenient time for us to meet? 2)1.exclaimed 2.arrange 3.aroused 4.resembles 5.volunteered 6.appreciate 7.requires 8.cracked 9.miracle 10.victims11.precious12.delicate 13.expected 14.interviewed 3)1.take over2.get through 3.no way 4.Leave off 5.put it … together 6.in touch with7.No sooner … than 8.in advance 9.looking forward to 10.arrange for11.in contrast 12.took on 13.made sure 14.move in15.in the hands of 16.go with 17.in poverty Increasing your word power.1)1.commission 2.smashed3.smash 4.volunteered 5.spill6.crash 7.contrast 8.commission 9.spilt 10.volunteer 11.contrasts 12.crashed 2)1.e 2.e 3.a 4.a 5.c 6.d 3)1.happy 2.impulsive 3.carelessness4.calmness5.firm 6.illness7.awareness 8.weakness 9.submissive Grammar Review.Task One Task Two 1.No mistake 2.has been living 3.enjoys 4.No mistake 5.tried 6.No mistake 7.No mistake 8.No mistake 9.have been visiting 10.likes 11.had I got 12.had broken 13.No mistake 14.No mistake 15.was suffering 16.No mistake 17.have been receiving 18.No mistake 19.insisted 20.No mistake 21.No mistake Cloze(1)chilly(2)sooner(3)than(4)exclaimed(5)fabric(6)delicate(7)joints(8)that(9)miracle(10)sacrificed(11)precious(12)loving Translation 1)1.Let’s get in touch as soon as we know the results of the test/exam.2.The music aroused an intense feeling of homesickness in him.3.You’ve been working all morning — you deserve a rest now.4.I had no sooner lain down than the telephone rang.Or: No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang.5.My doctor says I’m too tired and has advised me not to take on any more work.6.Jenny volunteered to clear up after the gathering.7.The subject of the talk is announced a week in advance, but the name of the speaker is not.8.Your performance in the exam did not reach the required standard — in other words, you failed.9.She was so ill that she had to leave off work..10.There is no way to tell what is going to happen.The case is in the hands of the judge, and all we could do is(to)wait.2)當人們變得很老時,像祖父母或曾祖父母那樣,他們有時不再能夠照顧自己。他們會生病,或者摔倒而折斷股骨,或者他們根本都不記得該如何穿睡衣。有時候雖然有些老人看起來還健康,但是因為他們自己獨居,所以覺得很孤單。這時候全家人要碰個頭,商討一下讓他們?nèi)諠u衰老的家人去養(yǎng)老院去居住是否是一個較好的辦法,因為在那里他們可以得到更好的照顧。Theme-related Writing 1.Imagine you were Meagan.Write a story about GG and her lost doll.Start the story with: “My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago.” My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago with her Mom, Dad and four sisters.Life was difficult then, but GG's parents tried their best to make their children happy.One Christmas they gave GG a beautiful doll with an exquisite porcelain face and long brown hair.The eyes of the doll opened and closed vividly.GG loved her doll so much that she played with her for a long time and didn't want to separate with her until it was time for Christmas dinner.GG laid the doll down gently on the hall table.But before long she heard a loud crash — GG's baby sister had pulled her doll off the table and it was smashed into pieces.Though GG's mother tried to put the doll together again, it couldn't be done.The doll was gone for ever.And so was GG's baby sister when she died of pneumonia a few years later.It was a deeply unhappy experience in GG's life.2.Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic: “Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future?” Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future? Thanks to medical advances and better living conditions, most of us can live longer.The issue of where we will stay when we get old has become a concern for everyone.I did a survey last week on “Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?” Of the ten people surveyed, seven said “yes.” According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of.The three who don't want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded upon on the other.Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.(147 words.)Unit 5 Enhance your language awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.When we finally completed our courses, all my classmates gathered together to celebrate.2.I have always wanted to be a psychologist, but a recent incident changed my mind.3.It is not difficult at all.You can get it done with ease.4.To be a good research student, you must have a mind for inquiry.5.I could see her genuine concern for my health and I was deeply touched.6.The boss’s fear of change becomes an obstacle to the progress of the organization.7.Please keep stirring the oil to stop it from getting frozen.8.I am most grateful to you for all the help you have offered us.2)1.senior
