Martin Seligman has been studying optimists and pessimists for 25 years.He is a psychologist and the author of bestselling books that help people to be more optimistic.In his studies of world-class athletes and top performers in the business world, Seligman found that optimists perform better when they encounter difficult situations than pessimists do.According to Seligman, “When pessimists come up against an obstacle, they often quit;when optimists meet an obstacle, they try harder.” An optimist stays in the game and instead of seeing a problem, looks for a solution.馬丁?塞利格曼25 來一直從事對樂觀者和悲觀者的研究。他是位心理學家,也是幫助人們變得更樂觀的暢銷書作家。在他對世界級運動員和商界精英的研究中,塞利格曼發現樂觀者在遇到困難處境時比悲觀者表現得好。根據塞利格曼的研究:“當悲觀者面對障礙時,他們常常會放棄;當樂觀者遇到障礙時,他們會更加努力。”一位樂觀者在競爭中樂于去尋找解決問題的方法而不是觀望問題。

1.These different reactions are due to how people interpret events—whether they think positively, from an optimistic viewpoint, or negatively, from a pessimistic viewpoint.這些不同的反應緣于人們對事件的理解方式:他們是從樂觀的角度還是從悲觀的角度去想問題?
2.The difference between optimists and pessimists isn’t a difference in life experiences but rather in how people perceive and respond to problems.樂觀主義者和悲觀主義者的不同不是在生活經歷上,而是他們如何認識問題和面對問題如何反應。
3.There are pros and cons to both optimism and pessimism.A healthy dose of optimism can be uplifting and hopeful, while a healthy dose of pessimism can be realistic and wise.Achieving a balance of being realistic and hopeful isn’t always easy.對于樂觀和悲觀都有贊成和反對意見。健康的樂觀可使人情緒高漲,滿懷希望,而健康的悲觀可使人現實和明智。在面對現實和滿懷希望之間獲取平衡并不是容易的事。
4.Just as it is important to recognize what is unjust and unfair in our lives and the world, it is important to see the beauty, love, generosity, and goodness as well.就像認識到在生活中什么是不公正和不公平一樣重要,我們同時也要看到美、愛、慷慨和善良。

1.Paul Newman has been acting since 1954 and has appeared in more than fifty films.He won an Oscar for best actor in 1986 for The Color of Money.In 1993, Newman received a special Oscar for humanitarian service.These two awards reflect his dual success as actor and philanthropist.保羅?紐曼從1945年開始從事演藝事業,共演出了50余部電影。他于1960年憑借在《金錢本色》中出色的表現獲得了奧斯卡最佳男主角的稱號。1993年,紐曼又因其進行人道主義服務獲得了一項特殊的奧斯卡獎。這兩個獎項的獲得反應了他作為演員和慈善家雙重身份的成功。
2.Paul Newman doesn’t think that being philanthropic is an exceptional quality.To him, generosity is simply a human trait, a common-sense way of living.“I respect generosity in people.I don’t look at it as philanthropy.I see it as an investment in the community.I am not a professional philanthropist,” says Newman.“I’m not running for sainthood.I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer who puts back into the soil what he takes out.保羅?紐曼從不認為從事慈善事業是一種少有的品格。對他來說,慷慨僅僅是人的一種性格,一種平常德生活方式。“我尊重人的慷慨之心,但我并不將之視作慈善。”紐曼說到。“我不想成為圣徒。我只是偶然間意識到,在生命中,某種程度上我們就如同農民一樣,需要將我們從泥土中所取得的,歸還給大地。”

It is too early to say that tattoos have achieved total social acceptance.A tattoo could still be a “career-killer” in more conservative professions such as banking or finance.However, plenty of
people are now entering the business world with tattoos they got as students.Eventually, these people will become business leaders, and the style will be more acceptable.When we see a tattoo on a president or prime minister, we will know that tattoos have finally arrived.現在說紋身已經被全社會所接受還言之過早。在較為保守的行業,例如銀行或金融業,紋身可能仍是一個“職業殺手”。然而,現在正準備進入商界的許多人,他們在學生時代都有紋身。最終,當這些人成為商界領袖之后,這種風格就會更容易被接受了。當我們看到一個擁有紋身的總統或總理時,我們就會知道,紋身時代終于來到了。
Text B
1.What makes a girl beautiful? The lines above are from the song “Not Pretty Enough,” written and performed by Kasey Chambers, an Australian folk-rock singer and songwriter.The words tell us a lot about what it’s like to be female in a society in which media such as television, movies, and magazines define what it means to be beautiful.什么能使一個女孩漂亮?上面的歌詞出自澳大利亞搖滾民謠歌手兼作曲家Kasey Chambers創作并演唱的一首歌“Not Pretty Enough”。在一個有電視、電影、雜志等媒體定義的含義的社會里,這句話可以告訴我們很多關于女性喜歡的東西及其生活感受。
2.In cultures where success and happiness are equated with being thin and attractive “just like models or movie stars,” many young women are left feeling either invisible or fat and unaccepted.“像模特或電影明星一樣”,在這種把身材苗條和具有吸引力等同于成功和幸福的文化中,很多年輕女性只有這兩種感覺,要么是被人視而不見,要么是肥胖和不被人認可。
3.It might not surprise you to read that 75% of women in the United States think that they are “too fat.” But many people do not realize how these ideas about body image have affected teenagers and children.You don’t have to look much farther than a billboard sign, magazine advertisement, or popular television show to see how girls and women are being presented and to understand how it affects them.可能令人無法理解的是美國75%的女性都認為她們“太胖”,但是很多人卻沒有意識到他們對于身體形象的想法已經影響到了十幾歲的青少年和孩子。其實,你并不需要期待自己像廣告標牌、雜志廣告或者流行電視節目所呈現的女孩和女人一樣,也不需要理解這是如何影響了她們。
4.Young people can benefit from realizing how much they are being targeted as a consumer group and how media messages are used to either sell them products or convey messages about body image, self-esteem, social values, and behavior.如果年輕人能夠認識到他們正在被標榜為一個消費群體,而媒體信息只是被利用來或兜售商品或傳遞關于形體、自尊、社會價值以及行為的信息,那么他們就會從中獲益。Unit 5

He attempted to make a joke with his wife, but it was received in silence.3.史密斯先生總是每天撥出些時間給孩子們讀故事。(set aside)
Mr.Smith always sets some time aside every day to read stories to his children.4.這實際上是一種朋友之間的交流,而不是吵架。(kind of, rather than)
It is really a kind of communication between friends, rather than a quarrel.5.由于提前接受了訓練,因此他在最新的影片中的特技效果極為出色。(as a result of, special
effect)
As a result of being trained in advance, the special effects in his latest film are brilliant.Text A
1.Not according to most people who live in or visit Canberra, Australia.大多數澳大利亞堪培拉的居民和游客認為不是這樣的。
2.Canberra is proof that — with proper planning — the environment can be preserved in densely populated cities and towns.經過適當地規劃,堪培拉證明了在人口密集的城鎮環境是能被保護的。
3.As a result of careful planning, Canberra offers the benefits of city living without the urban problems such as pollution and traffic.經過細致地規劃,生活在堪培拉沒有了諸如污染和交通堵塞這樣的都市問題,而是城市生活的便利。
Unit 6
1.保護也適用于文化遺產,因此也包括有歷史意義的事物,比如古建筑、古戰場、歷史傳說等。(apply to, cultural heritage)
Conservation is also applied to cultural heritage, thus including things of historical importance, such as old buildings, battlefields and oral traditions.2.任何人無權侵犯“他人”權利以獲取自身利益,不管這個“他人”是人,還是動物。(violate one’s right, as a result of)
No one has a right to benefit as a result of violating another's rights, whether that “other” is a human being or some other animal.4.很多電影明星對于自己的私生活受到公眾監視非常反感。(resent doing sth., under scrutiny)Many film stars resent their private life being under public scrutiny.5.我們每天的事情很多,只有把最重要的優先安排才能保證有時間完成。(give
We have many things to do each day and we must give priority to those most important to ensure we have time for them.Text B
1.The earth is rich in biodiversity with millions of different species of plants and animals.However, many species are disappearing at an alarming rate.Biodiversity is reduced when ecosystems are modified and habitats of plants and animals are destroyed.The one species that is causing this phenomenon is the same one that can stop it — humans.地球生物豐富多樣。動物、植物種類數以百萬計。但是,很多物種正以驚人速度消失。生態系統的改變,動、植物生長、棲息地遭到破壞,都會導致生物多樣性的下降。而造成這一現象的物種,也正是可以阻止這一現象的物種——那即是人類。
2.Many scientists view the current wave of species extinctions as unrivaled since the disappearance of the dinosaurs, more than 65 million years ago.Currently, around 11 000 species of plants and animals are at risk of disappearing forever — this includes over 180 mammals.很多科學家認為,繼6千5百萬年前恐龍滅絕之后,本輪物種滅絕是最為嚴重的一次。目前,大約有1萬1千種動、植物正面臨永遠消失的危險——這當中包括180種哺乳動物。
3.If present trends continue, humanity stands to lose a large portion of its natural inheritance.Extinction is one environmental problem that is truly irreversible — once gone, these species cannot be brought back.如果當前的趨勢繼續持續,人類將失去很大一部分自然遺產。生物滅絕是一個完全不可逆的環境問題——物種一旦消失,再無可能重現。
4.Why care about endangered animals? There are many reasons for protecting endangered species, including our own survival.Many of our foods and medicines come from wild species, and each wild species depends on a particular habitat for its food and shelter, and ultimately its survival.If one species in an ecosystem disappears, other species are affected.And when one ecosystem is altered or destroyed, a ripple effect occurs, and the interdependency of all living things becomes clear.Animals not only need protection to ensure their own species’ survival, but they also serve as umbrella species;helping them helps numerous other species that live in the same habitat.為什么要保護瀕危動物呢?保護瀕危物種理由有很多,其中包括了我們人類自身生存。我們的很多食物、藥物都來自野生物種。而每個野生物種都要依賴特定的生長、棲息地獲取食物和居所,并最終得以生存。如果一個生態系統中的一個物種消失了,其他物種就會受到影響。而當一個系統遭到改變或破壞,漣漪效應就會產生。所有生物的互相依賴性就會明顯顯示出來。動物保護不僅能保證該物種自身的生存,而且由于該物種所起到的傘護物種作用,同一棲息地的不計其數的其他物種也會得到保護。
5.Beyond economics and human well-being, however, the rapid extinction of so many creatures on our planet raises profound ethical and moral questions.What sort of world will our children inherit? Do we want the future to be a place where pandas and gorillas only exist in captivity in zoos? If we are unable — or unwilling — to protect the animals we share our planet with, what does that say about humankind’s future on earth?
拋開經濟意義和人類自身生存方面的考慮,我們地球上如此眾多生物快速滅絕也引出了倫理、道德層面的深層問題。我們的后代子孫將繼承一個什么樣的世界?難道我們希望看到,將來大熊貓、大猩猩只有在動物園的籠中才能看到?假如我們不能或不愿保護這些和我們在一個星球上共存的動物,那還何談地球上人類的未來呢?

我的祖母不認識字,可是她有一籮筐的神話和傳奇故事。小時候我總是纏著她,要她給我講故事。而她在忙完家務之后,總會把我抱到膝上,一邊講故事一邊有節奏地晃動我。
我父母發現了我對故事的濃厚興趣后,不失時機的引導我進行閱讀。他們給我買了許多帶插圖的故事書,有空的時候就一遍遍地讀給我聽。慢慢地我認識了許多字,能夠自行閱讀了。
Although my grandmother was illiterate ,she had a good stock of myths and legends.When I was young I gave her no peace,constantly asking her to tell me stories.After she had finished her housework,she would lift me onto her lap and tell stories,all the while rocking me in rhythm.Having noticed my interest in stories,my parents lost no time in initiating me into reading.They bought many storybooks with illustrations and whenever free,they would read these stories to me over and over again.By and by I had a vocabulary large enough to read on my own.一項又一項的研究發現,食物和一些慢性病之間有密切的關系。例如,某些慢性病危險的降低與多吃以植物為基本成分的食物有關。因此,在過去的十年中,美國飲食協會敦促美國人減少動物脂肪的攝取,增加水果、蔬菜和谷物的消費。同時,美國農業部發布了包括食物指導金字塔在內的文件,鼓勵人們每天至少吃三道蔬菜和兩份水果。但是,許多美國人還是沒有按照這些建議去做。
Study after study has uncovered the fact that there is a close correlation between food and a number of chronic diseases.For example ,a decreased risk of certain chronic diseases is associated with an increased consumption
of
plant-based foods.Therefore,in the past decade,the American Dietetic Association has urged Americans to reduce their intake of animal fats,and to boost consumption of fruits,vegetables,and grains.Meanwhile ,the United States Department of Agriculture has released a document containing the food guide pyramid,which encourages a minimum of three vegetable and two fruit servings per day.However,many Americans still don’t meet/listen to these recommendations.我們大學的新任校長不贊成在某些情況下容許說謊的看法。他認為人們一旦習慣于說任何一類謊
言,就會縱容自己,最終無法擺脫說謊惡習。是否講謊話有時會成為棘手的難題,但是我們的校長堅持認為在教育青年人的過程中,所有的教育界人士都不得逃避將誠實放在首位的責任。我同意他的看法。你的意見呢?
The new president of our university disapproves of the idea that we should be allowed to tell lies under certain circumstances.He believes that if people get used to telling any kind of lie, they will indulge themselves and eventually be stuck with the bad habit.To tell or not to tell a lie can sometimes become a very sticky issue, but our president insists on the notion that nobody in the world of education should dodge the responsibility of attaching primary importance to honesty while teaching the young.I agree with him.What about you?
賭徒的家人經常付出高昂的代價。他們不但要忍受一夜之間失去財富的痛苦,而且時常感到極度沮喪和無望。
一項全國性的調查發現,200多萬成年人認為配偶的賭博行為是他們先前離婚的重要原因。密西西比州一個縣的離婚數目在賭場出現后較從前幾乎增加了兩倍。該縣還見證了賭場出現后家庭暴力事件的攀升。
大量的事實表明,法律許可的賭博其蔓延之勢毀滅了個人,葬送了家庭,增加了犯罪,最終給社會造成的損失遠遠大于政府從中征的稅收收入。Gamblers’ family members always pay a steep price.They not only have to endure the pain of having their wealth wiped away overnight, but they are also frequently overwhelmed with feelings of depression and hopelessness.A nationwide survey found that over 2 million adults identified a spouse’s gambling as a significant factor in a prior divorce.The number of divorce in a country in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos.The country has also witnessed increases in domestic violence since than.A considerable body of evidence showed that the expansion of legally sanctioned gambling destroys individuals, ruins families, increase crime, and ultimately costs society far more than the revenues government collects.
