第一单元我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。
后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。
但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。
故事发生在印度。
某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。
跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。
席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。
年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。
“女人一遇到危急情况,”少校说,反应便是尖叫。
而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。
这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。
”那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。
在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。
她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。
她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。
男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。
在座的客人中,除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。
那个美国人突然醒悟过来。
在印度,碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。
他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。
室内的三个角落里也是空的,而在第四个角落里,仆人们正在等着下一道菜。
这样,剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。
他首先想到的是往后一跳,并向其他人发警告。
但他知道这样会引起骚乱,致使眼镜索受惊咬人。
于是他很快讲了一通话,其语气非常威严,竟使所有的人安静了下来。
我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力,我数三百下——也就五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。
Unit 1 How to Improve Your Study Habits你也许是个智力一般的普通学生。
你在学校的学习成绩还不错,可你也许会觉得自己永远也成不了优等生。
然而实际情况未必如此。
你要是想取得更好的分数,也还是能做到的。
是的,即使中等智力水平的学生,在不增加学习负担的情况下,也能成为优等生。
其诀窍如下:1.仔细安排你的时间。
把你每周要完成的任务一一列出来,然后制定一张时间表或时间分配图。
先把用于吃饭、睡觉、开会、听课等这样一些非花不可的时间填上,然后再选定合适的固定时间用于学习。
一定要留出足够的时间来完成正常的阅读和课外作业。
当然,学习不应把作息表上的空余时间全都占去,还得给休息、业余爱好和娱乐活动留出一定的时间,这一点很重要。
这张周作息表也许解决不了你所有的问题,但是它会使你比较清楚地了解你是怎样使用你的时间的。
此外,它还能让你安排好各种活动,既有足够的时间工作,也有足够的时间娱乐。
2.寻找一个合适的地方学习。
选定某个地方作为你的“学习区”。
这可以是家里或者学校图书馆里的一张书桌或者一把椅子,但它应该是舒适的,而且不该有干扰。
在你开始学习时,你应能够全神贯注于你的功课。
3.阅读之前先略读。
这就是说,在你仔细阅读一篇文章之前,先把它从头至尾迅速浏览一遍。
在预习材料时,你就对它的内容及其结构有了大致的了解。
随后在你正式开始阅读时,你就能辨认出不太重要的材料,并且可以略去某些章节不读。
略读不仅使你的阅读速度提高一倍,还有助于提高你的理解能力。
<4.充分利用课堂上的时间。
上课时注意听讲意味着课后少花力气。
要坐在能看得见、听得清的地方。
要作笔记来帮助自己记住老师讲课的内容。
5.学习要有规律。
课后要及早复习笔记。
重温课堂上提到的要点,复习你仍然混淆不清的地方。
阅读教科书上讲到这些内容的有关章节。
如果你知道第二天老师要讲述的内容,那你就把这部分材料浏览一下。
这有助于你听懂下一堂课。
如果你定期复习笔记和课本,你就能更深刻地领会这些材料的内容,你的记忆也会保持得更长久。

课文翻译(Unit1——10)第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧,牢牢地抓着他的右手。
我身上穿的,戴的全是新的:黑鞋子,绿校服,红帽子。
然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来,因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。
2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行,我也不时的回头看她,希望她会救我。
我们沿着街道走着,街道两旁是花园和田野,田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。
3“我为什么要去上学?”我问父亲,“是我做错了什么了吗?”4“我不是在惩罚你,”父亲笑着说道,“上学不是一种惩罚。
学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。
难道你不想象你哥哥们那样,成为一个有用的人吗?”5我不相信他的话。
我才不相信把我从家里拽出来,扔进那个大大的,高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。
6到了学校门口,我们看到了宽阔的庭院,站满了孩子。
“自己进去吧,”我父亲说,“加入他们。
笑一笑,给其他的孩子做个好榜样。
”7我紧抓着父亲的手,犹豫不决。
但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。
“拿出点男子气概来,”他说,“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。
放学时我会在这等你的。
”8我走了几步,便看见了一些孩子的面孔。
他们中我一个也不认识。
他们也没有一个认识我的。
我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。
然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我,其中一个走过来问到,“谁带你来的?”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。
10“我爸爸死了,”他简短地说。
11我不知道该说些什么。
这时学校的门已经关上了,有些孩子哭了起来。
接着,铃响了,一位女士走了过来,后面跟着一群男人。
那些人把我们排成几行。
使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行,站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。
每层楼都有长长的阳台,阳台上带有木制顶棚,从阳台上可以俯视到我们。
12“这是你们的新家,”那位女士说道,“这儿有你们的父母。
一切能带给你们快乐,对你们有益的事物,这儿都有。
因此擦干你们的眼泪,快快乐乐地面对生活。
”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。

Lesson Eight The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1. One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I cameupon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him.There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere, "I don't want to get involved" has become a national motto.2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much.What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator.3. Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois's famous line: "I have always depended on thekindness of strangers." Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?4. The idea intrigued me.5. The week I turned 37, I realized that I had never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to travel from the Pacific to theAtlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I'd have to conquer during the trip.6. I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a signdisplaying my destination to passing vehicles: "America."7. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning meabout someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming, In Nebraska they said people would not be as nice in Iowa. Yet I was treated with kindness everywhere I went. I was amazed by people's readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests.8. One day in Nebraska a car pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed intheir Sunday finest." I know you're not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it's so far between towns out here, you feel bad passing a person," said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. I didn't know whether to kiss them or scold them forstopping. This woman was telling me she'd rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road.9. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard he skidded on thegrass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. "But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain," he added. "People don't have no heart anymore."10. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people boughtme food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. Those who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a house painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When he learned that I had "a light one," he drove me to his house, and handed me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family's most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.11. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, and their gifts. But what I found most touchingwas the fact that they all did it as a matter of course.12. One day I walked into the chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tenn. to find out about camping in the area. The executivedirector, Baxter Wilson, 59, handed me a brochure for a local campground. Seeing that it cost $12, I replied, "No, that's all right. I'll try something else." Then he saw my backpack. "Most people around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that's what you want," he said. Now we're talking, I thought. "Any particular direction?" I asked. "Tell you what. I've got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you're here at 5:30, you can ride with me."13. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he'd invited me to spend the night in hishome. His wife, Carol, a seventh-grade science teacher, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. Baxter explained that local folks were "mountain stay-at-home people" who rarely entertained in their house. "When we do," he said, "it's usually kin." This revelation made my night there all the more special.14. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I'd come to their school and talk to her class about my trip. Iagreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. The kids were attentive and kept asking all kinds of questions: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did you have? Did anybody try to run you over? Did you fall in love with someone? What were you most afraid of?15. Although I hadn't planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks I gave that afternoon. I told thestudents how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help. I told them that the question I had had in mind when I planned this journey was now clearly answered.In spite of everything, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.第八课陌生人的仁慈1一个夏天,我正驱车从我的家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍湖市前往新奥尔良。
