21世纪大学新英语3 Unit1

Unit1 赞美之词的魔力1、一次，一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦：他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌，数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。

“即使一个星期能赚10万美元，”他说，“那也像人间地狱一般。

”2、不仅演员需要掌声，没有赞扬和鼓励，任何人都会失去信心。

因此，我们都有着双重需求：被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。

说赞美的话是有技巧的，有正确的说法。

比如，因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人，这不是真正的赞扬。

你得运用辨别力和创造力。

“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力，”一次，一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说，“我禁不住想，您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。

”听到这意外的溢美之词，那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。

3、无论声名显赫还是默默无闻，没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。

耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日，我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。

服务员递给我菜单时，我说，‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪！’服务员惊讶地看着我说：‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好，对服务评头论足，还埋怨太闷热。

19年了，你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。

’人们所需要的，”费尔普斯下结论道，“是作为人能得到一点点关注。

”在那种关注中，真诚是至关重要的。

当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他，他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。

4、孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。

童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏，将会危及性格的发展。

一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事：“我的小女儿常常不听话，我不得不批评她。

但是有一天，她特别乖，没有做一件会挨批评的事。

当天晚上，我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时，听见她在抽泣。

我走回去，发现她把头埋在枕头里。

她一边呜咽一边问：‘难道我今天还不够乖吗？’”5、“那个问题，”那位妈妈说，“像把刀一样刺痛了我。

Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Theme-Related Writing▆Do one of the following writing tasks after class.1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie fromyour perspective.2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about of fering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral values in the long run.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society. (268 words)。

Unit 1 Text A 什么才是真正的勇气？在六年前的一次班机上，我终于见证了什么才是真正的勇气。

直到今天，当我回忆这件事的时候，才不至于热泪盈眶。

星期五早上，当我所乘坐的班机LlO1l从奥兰多机场起飞时，乘客们都心情爽朗、兴致高昂。

搭乘早班机的人主要是前往亚特兰大出差一、两天的职业人士。

我环顾四周，尽是老练的商务乘客的装束：名牌套装、皮质公文包等。

我往后坐了坐，准备读些轻松的东西，舒服地度过接下来的短暂飞行。

刚起飞不久，大家就明显感觉到有些不妥。

机舱忽上忽下，左右摇晃。

所有有经验的旅客，包括我在内，看着周围的人，都会心地笑了。

大家的表情表明，谁都经历过飞机上的这些小状况。

如果飞机乘多了，你就会碰到这样的事情，就知道该如何适应这些状况了。

可是，我们的心没能平静多久。

飞机在空中飞了没几分钟，就突然一只机翼朝下，疯了似地往下坠了。

飞机又向上攀升，但这并不起什么作用。

不起作用。

没过多久，飞行员就严肃地向乘客通报了情况。

“我们遇到些麻烦，”他说，“现在情况是飞机的一个引擎失控了。

指示器显示我们的液压系统已经失灵，飞机要立刻返回奥兰多机场。

由于缺乏液压，所以我们不确定起落架是否能固定得住，着陆时会很颠簸，空乘人员会帮您做好准备。

另外，如果您向窗外看一下的话，就会看到我们正在倾倒飞机燃料。

我们希望在紧急着陆且颠簸严重的情况下，尽可能减少飞机上的燃料。

”换句话说：我们就要坠机了。

数百加仑的燃料从燃料箱中倾倒出来，在我面前的舷窗外流下，没有哪种景象能比这更令人清醒的了，乘务人员帮助乘客们摆好缓冲姿势，并安慰着那些已经异常激动的人们。

我看了一下周围的商务旅客，他们面部表情的变化让我感到惊讶。

许多人显然被吓坏了，即便是那些最冷静的乘客此时也脸色苍白，表情非常严肃。

的确，他们看上去面如死灰，这是我从未见过的。

我想面对死亡没有人不害怕，每个人面对这种情况都会不同程度地失去镇静，无一例外。

我开始在人群中寻找，看看有没有人在这种情况下仍然保持平静和镇定，这只有真正拥有勇气和坚定信念的人才能做到。
