所有重大的戰(zhàn)役都是在自己內(nèi)心進(jìn)行的。——謝爾登·考格斯
數(shù)年前(1983—1987),我有機(jī)會(huì)為麥當(dāng)勞公司扮演吉祥小丑羅納德·麥當(dāng)勞的角色。我的市場(chǎng)范圍涵蓋亞利桑那州的大部分地區(qū)和南加州的部分地區(qū)。
我們例行的活動(dòng)之一便是“羅納德日”。每個(gè)月中的某一天,我們都要探訪盡可能多的社區(qū)醫(yī)院,給那個(gè)誰也不想去的地方帶去一點(diǎn)快樂。能為正在經(jīng)歷“消沉?xí)r期”的大人和孩子帶去一點(diǎn)歡樂,我感到十分自豪。從活動(dòng)中感受到的溫暖和喜悅一連幾周縈繞在我身邊。我喜歡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目,麥當(dāng)勞公司喜歡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目,孩子和大人喜歡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目,護(hù)理人員及醫(yī)務(wù)人員也喜歡這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。
每次探訪我都受到兩條規(guī)定的限制。第一,沒有麥當(dāng)勞員工以及醫(yī)院工作人員的陪同,我不得在醫(yī)院隨意走動(dòng)。這樣,如果我走進(jìn)某個(gè)病房嚇著了孩子,旁邊就會(huì)有人及時(shí)處理這一問題。第二,我不得用身體接觸醫(yī)院里的任何人。他們可不希望我把病菌從一個(gè)病人傳播到另一個(gè)病人身上。我能理解他們實(shí)施“不準(zhǔn)觸摸”這一規(guī)定的理由,可我并不喜歡它。我認(rèn)為觸摸是我們所能知道的最真誠(chéng)的交流方式。書面文字、口頭語言都可以撒謊,熱烈的擁抱是不可能撒謊的。
我被告知,違反其中任何一條規(guī)定都意味著我會(huì)失去這份工作。
我的“羅納德日”進(jìn)行到第四年年末的某一天,已經(jīng)一整天涂著油彩的我走在醫(yī)院的走廊上,正準(zhǔn)備回家,這時(shí)傳來一陣輕輕的叫喊聲:“羅納德,羅納德。”
我停了下來。那微弱的、細(xì)細(xì)的聲音來自一間半掩著門的病房。我推開房門,只見一個(gè)5歲上下的小男孩躺在他爸爸的懷里,身上連著的醫(yī)療儀器之多是我平生未曾見到過的。媽媽在另一頭,旁邊還有爺爺、奶奶和一位監(jiān)護(hù)儀器的護(hù)士。
病房里的氣氛使我知道病人的情況很嚴(yán)重。我問小男孩叫什么名字,他告訴我他叫比利,隨后我為他變了些簡(jiǎn)單的戲法。當(dāng)我后退著道別時(shí),我問比利我還能為他做些什么。
“羅納德,你愿意抱抱我嗎?”
如此簡(jiǎn)單的一個(gè)請(qǐng)求。可我腦子里想到的卻是我如果碰了他,便會(huì)丟掉工作。因此我告訴比利我此刻不能抱他,但提議和他一起給一幅圖畫著色。在完成了我倆都引以為豪的一件絕妙的藝術(shù)作品之后,比利再次要我抱抱他。這一
次,我的心在喊“抱抱他!”而我的理智卻以更高的聲音在喊:“不行!你要丟飯碗的。”
比利第二次叫我抱抱他時(shí),我不得不思考為什么我就不能答應(yīng)一個(gè)可能永遠(yuǎn)回不了家的小男孩的簡(jiǎn)單的請(qǐng)求呢。我問自己,為什么我會(huì)被以前從未見過、也許永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)再見的一個(gè)人在理智和感情上弄得心煩意亂、左右為難呢。
“抱一抱我。”這是非常簡(jiǎn)單的一個(gè)請(qǐng)求,然而……

我搜尋著能夠讓我離開的任何合理的回答,卻一個(gè)也找不到。半晌,我才意識(shí)到在這種情況下,丟掉飯碗也許并不是我所懼怕的災(zāi)難。
難道丟掉飯碗是世界上最糟糕的事情嗎?
我是否有足夠的自信,如果真的丟掉飯碗,我能振作起來重新開始呢?回答是一個(gè)響亮、勇敢、堅(jiān)定的“是”,我能振作起來重新開始。
那么風(fēng)險(xiǎn)何在呢?
只不過是如果丟了飯碗,可能不久我便會(huì)失去我的車子,繼而是我的房子……說實(shí)話,我真的喜歡這些東西。但我意識(shí)到在我的生命盡頭,車子將毫無價(jià)值,房子同樣也毫無價(jià)值。唯一具有不變價(jià)值的東西是經(jīng)歷。一旦我提醒自己我來醫(yī)院的真正目的就是為了給一個(gè)不快樂的環(huán)境帶去一點(diǎn)快樂,我便意識(shí)到其實(shí)我根本沒有面臨任何風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
我把孩子的爸爸、媽媽、爺爺、奶奶送出病房,讓我的兩個(gè)麥當(dāng)勞陪同人員回到面包車上。監(jiān)護(hù)醫(yī)療儀器的護(hù)士留下了,但比利叫她面對(duì)墻角而立。然后我俯身抱起這個(gè)精靈般的小人兒。他是如此的虛弱,如此的驚恐。我們又哭又笑地過了45分鐘,談?wù)撝屗麚?dān)憂的那些事情。
比利擔(dān)心沒有他帶路,明年他的小弟弟從幼兒園回家會(huì)迷路。他擔(dān)心他的狗再也找不到骨頭吃,因?yàn)樗诨蒯t(yī)院前把骨頭藏在了家里的什么地方,而現(xiàn)在卻想不起到底藏在哪兒了。
這些就是一個(gè)知道自己回不了家的小男孩所擔(dān)心的事情。
離開病房時(shí),我臉上化裝用的油彩被淚水浸濕,順頸而下。我給孩子的父母留下了我的真實(shí)姓名和電話號(hào)碼(對(duì)一個(gè)扮演羅納德·麥克唐納的員工而言,這又是一個(gè)自動(dòng)解雇的理由,但我想我肯定是要走的,而且也不會(huì)因此失去
什么),并告訴他們?nèi)绻惺裁词虑槭躯湲?dāng)勞公司或我本人能夠做的,給我來個(gè)電話就行了。這之后不到48個(gè)小時(shí),我就接到比利母親的來電。她告訴我比利已經(jīng)去世。她和她丈夫只是想感謝我給他們孩子的生活帶來了變化。
比利的母親告訴我那天我離開病房后不久,比利看著她說:“媽媽,我今年就是見不到圣誕老人我也不在乎了,因?yàn)榱_納德抱過我了。”
有時(shí),我們必須做眼前應(yīng)該做的事情,而不應(yīng)顧及意識(shí)到的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。只有經(jīng)歷才有價(jià)值,而人們約束其經(jīng)歷的最大原因就是經(jīng)歷中包含的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
必須申明的是,麥當(dāng)勞公司還是發(fā)現(xiàn)了比利和我的事,但考慮到當(dāng)時(shí)的情況,還是允許我保留了工作。我在繼續(xù)扮演羅納德角色一年后才離開了麥當(dāng)勞公司,開始向人們講述比利的故事,告訴人們冒險(xiǎn)有多么重要。

新視野大學(xué)英語(第三版)第二冊(cè)讀寫教程課后答案 Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex.1 Understanding the text
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(rèn)為英語是一種世界語言,經(jīng)常被許多不以英語為第一語言的國(guó)家使用。與其他語言一樣,英語也發(fā)生了很大的變化。英語的歷史可以分為三個(gè)主要階段:古英語,中古英語和現(xiàn)代英語。英語起源于公元5世紀(jì),當(dāng)時(shí)三個(gè)日耳曼部落入侵英國(guó),他們對(duì)英語語言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世紀(jì)和現(xiàn)代社會(huì)初期,英語的影響遍及不列顛群島。從17世紀(jì)初,它的影響力開始在世界各地顯現(xiàn)。歐洲幾百年的探險(xiǎn)和殖民過程導(dǎo)致了英語的重大變化。今天,由于美國(guó)電影、電視、音樂、貿(mào)易和技術(shù)、包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎,美國(guó)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 “l(fā)anguages” 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(wǎng)絡(luò)課程,它旨在通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)實(shí)現(xiàn)廣泛參與和開放接入。幕課是遠(yuǎn)程教育邁出的最新一步,現(xiàn)已在高等教育領(lǐng)域迅速引領(lǐng)潮流。通過這些課程,大學(xué)可以擴(kuò)大影響的范圍,從影響成千上萬住在城里付學(xué)費(fèi)的學(xué)生,擴(kuò)展到惠及全球上百萬的學(xué)生。除了擁有傳統(tǒng)的課程資料,幕課還給使用者提供互動(dòng)論壇,支持學(xué)生和講師之間的交流。幕課能促進(jìn)參與者之間的交流,使得多種觀點(diǎn)、知識(shí)和技能涌現(xiàn)到課堂上來;它鼓勵(lì)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(xué)習(xí)課程資料的方式,鼓勵(lì)多模式學(xué)習(xí),以各種學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)格滿足學(xué)習(xí)者的需求;另外,幕課促進(jìn)教學(xué)的改善,使技術(shù)在面對(duì)面授課中得以更好地應(yīng)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(guó)文化價(jià)值體系的一個(gè)重要組成部分,“個(gè)人主義”受到大多數(shù)美國(guó)人的推崇。美國(guó)人認(rèn)為家庭作為一個(gè)群體,其主要目的是促進(jìn)家庭各成員的幸福。

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

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

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

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

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

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(jiǎn)主義是指去掉多余的,僅保留需要的部分、用最簡(jiǎn)單的話來說,極簡(jiǎn)的生

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

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(shù),充滿愛心,療效顯著,可以擺脫過去的傷痛,開創(chuàng)新的起點(diǎn)。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(dú)善其身;好心好意,也會(huì)互有傷害。會(huì)有朋友的背叛,會(huì)有父母的錯(cuò)怪,會(huì)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(duì)刻骨銘心、天理難容的傷害的自然反應(yīng)。女人會(huì)詛咒她的前夫與新妻子不得安生,男人會(huì)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(huì)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(duì)恨人者的傷害比對(duì)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(huì)承認(rèn)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(guān)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(rèn)心中所藏的仇恨,可促使我們決定對(duì)稱之為“寬恕”的心靈做一次外科手術(shù)。我們必須承認(rèn)既成的事實(shí),勇敢地面對(duì)對(duì)方,說出:“你對(duì)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(duì)待犯錯(cuò)之人與所犯之錯(cuò)。《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(gè)“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(gè)新的視角看待那個(gè)曾經(jīng)錯(cuò)待我們的人,那個(gè)與他所犯罪過剝離的人——實(shí)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(cuò),看看那不道德的外衣下究竟是一個(gè)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(duì)寬恕。有人說:寬恕之舉缺乏公正,因?yàn)椴粦?yīng)該讓犯錯(cuò)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(hù)所”。? 10.Vengeance never evens the score.It ties both the injured and the injurer to an endless escalator of retaliation.?
復(fù)仇永遠(yuǎn)不能讓雙方扯平,而只會(huì)把受害人和害人者綁在一臺(tái)永不停息的相互報(bào)復(fù)的自動(dòng)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(duì):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(gè)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(xué)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(yīng)該時(shí)時(shí)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(duì)對(duì)方的需求和欲望視而不見;你孩子的反叛,很可能是因?yàn)槟阊赞o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(huì)消除你的沮喪心情,特別是在我們生活的環(huán)境中,考試分?jǐn)?shù)直接決定你是否有資格讀研究生和申請(qǐng)一些特別的學(xué)習(xí)項(xiàng)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(huì)就像一個(gè)歸零游戲,只要有人贏,就會(huì)有人輸;只要有人感到幸福,就會(huì)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(gè)社會(huì)里,你可以對(duì)你的沮喪置之不理,但是在我們這個(gè)社會(huì)里是無法回避的。
4.… when I got out of the service …(Para.6)……當(dāng)我退役的時(shí)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?cè)牵宏戃姼迸砰L(zhǎng)、轟炸機(jī)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(zhuǎn)向嚴(yán)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(shí)意義我們就會(huì)明白社會(huì)標(biāo)簽本來就毫無關(guān)系,而且會(huì)誤導(dǎo)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(shí)時(shí)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(dāng)然,我也曾經(jīng)和他們一樣。但是自從上一個(gè)進(jìn)攻日開始,我的想法改變了。當(dāng)時(shí)我們團(tuán)的任務(wù)是保衛(wèi)倫敦。
