文檔簡介
1、Unit 1Where there is a will, there is a way. Thisproverb means that if you are really determinedto do something, however difficult it might be, youwill eventually find a way to do it well. Thepremier point is that you must have the will toachieve success.Ninety percent of the failures that occur are
2、due to the fact that there is no strong will involved.Many people simply say that they wantsomething, but they do not make any endeavorto achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they usethe poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to bypassevery minute obstacle, mak
3、ing the objectiveimpossible to attain. In reality, if they have the willto succeed, they can get rid of the handicaps andachieve their goals.Only those with a committed and focusedwill and spirit can fight their way to final victory.Many a famous man has the same experience.They have attained their
4、prestige because theyhave had the will to transcend apparentlyinsuperable (無法克服 的 ) obstacles. Manyartists, statesmen, writers and inventors havemanaged to succeed because they possess afierce will, which has helped them to accomplishmajor feats .Therefore, we can see that the main thingwhich one ne
5、eds is a strong will. Weak-willedpeople never climb to the top. They collapse atthe slightest use of force against them.Strong-willed people, on the other hand will standup against all odds and will make it a point tosucceed.有志者,事竟成。這句諺語的意思是, 如果你真的下定決心去做某事, 不管它有多 么困難,你最終會找到一種方法來做好它。 首要的一點是你必須有取得成功的決
6、心。百分之九十的失敗是由于沒有強大的 意志。許多人只是說他們想要某樣?xùn)|西,但 他們沒有進行任何努力去實現(xiàn)它。 因此, 他 們不是去得到它, 而是用最糟糕的借口來解 釋這種情況。在許多情況下, 人們傾向于逃避每一分 鐘的障礙,使目標(biāo)不可能達到。在現(xiàn)實中, 如果他們有成功的意愿,他們就能擺脫障 礙,實現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。只有那些有堅定而專注的意志和精神 的人才能為最終的勝利而奮斗。 許多名人都 有同樣的經(jīng)歷。他們獲得了他們的聲望,因 為他們有超越明顯無法逾越的障礙的意志。 許多藝術(shù)家、 政治家、作家和發(fā)明家取得了 成功,因為他們擁有強烈的意志, 這幫助他 們完成了重大的壯舉。因此,我們可以看到,一個人需
7、要的最 主要的東西是堅強的意志。 意志薄弱的人從 來爬不到高處, 只要對他們使用最輕微的武 力他們就會崩潰。 另一方面, 意志堅強的人 會勇敢地面對各種困難, 并使之成為成功的 關(guān)鍵。Unit 2Social anxiety symptoms often begin duringadolescence. Its a developmental process that ischaracterized by profound psychologicalchanges, especially in terms of how we relate toothers. One of the most f
8、rustrating aspects of theadolescent years is the tendency for self-focusand a decrease in the amount of focus we havefor the feelings and needs of others.While these changes are fairly universal,those of us who were born with a shytemperament ( 性格 ) can carry the adolescentfears, which may never rec
9、ede , into adulthood.An anxious temperament causes our brains toreact forcibly when exposed to the stress ofsudden awareness of our peers and gradually webecome more and more vulnerable. Our brainslabel the fear of exposure or embarrassment ashighly dangerous. This may result in a viciouscircle for
10、many years: excessiveself-consciousness and inhibition when you feelyou are being observed.To cope with the problem, I would like tochallenge you to strive for increased focus onother people, in place of your excessive focus onyourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said thandone. The fear may cause y
11、ou to feel that you willlose control or make a fool of yourself when youare in the spotlight ( 聚光燈 ). But if you beginto build a new response, in reaction to your fears,you will gradually build up a stronger and morepositive response. Remember, dont letself-consciousness paralyze you! Becourageous!社
12、會焦慮癥狀通常在青春期開始。 這是 一個發(fā)展過程,其特點是深刻的心理變化, 尤其是在我們?nèi)绾闻c他人相處的方面。 青春 期最令人沮喪的一個方面是自我關(guān)注的傾 向,以及我們對他人感受和需要的關(guān)注程度 的降低。雖然這些變化是相當(dāng)普遍的, 但我們這 些生來就有害羞氣質(zhì)的人, 可能會把青春期 的恐懼帶入成年期,而這種恐懼可能永遠不 會消退。焦慮的性格會使我們的大腦在面對 同伴突然意識的壓力時產(chǎn)生強烈的反應(yīng),并 逐漸變得越來越脆弱。我們的大腦把對暴露 或?qū)擂蔚目謶置枋鰹楦叨任kU。 這可能會導(dǎo) 致多年的惡性循環(huán) : 當(dāng)你感到自己被觀察 時,會過度的自我意識和抑制。為了解決這個問題, 我想讓你試著去挑 戰(zhàn)努力
13、讓你的注意力更多地集中在別人身 上,而不是過分關(guān)注自己。是的,我知道, 說起來容易做起來難。恐懼可能會讓你覺 得,當(dāng)你處于聚光燈下時,你會失去控制, 或讓自己出丑。但是,如果你開始建立一個 新的回應(yīng),回應(yīng)你的恐懼,你將逐漸建立一 個更強大和更積極的回應(yīng)。記住,不要讓自 我意識麻痹你 ! 是勇敢的 !Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actressand model, who became one of the mostsuccessful and well-known actresses in the filmdomain .She was a fashion ic
14、on and role model forwomen all over the world, helping to define aparticular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin( 小精靈似的 ) beauty. Todays popularity of the slimfashion model is due to Audrey Hepburnsinfluence. Although she appeared frail(脆弱的 ) ,she was mentally strong. At the end of her actingcareer whe

Shealways said it was happy to devo

She began herpermanentambassadorshipin1988andembarked on trips to many countries. She wasalways positive: People in these places dontknow Audrey Hepburn, but they
17、 recognize thename UNICEF. When they see UNICEF theirfaces light up, because they know that somethingis happening. In 1992, her humanitarian workwith those in need was recognized when she wasawarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Awardby the Academy of Motion Picture Arts andSciences for her contrib
18、ution to humanity.特,她成為了電影領(lǐng)域最成功、最著名的女 演員之一。她是世界各地女性的時尚偶像和榜樣, 幫助定義了一種特殊類型的新鮮、 脆弱、 精 靈的美。如今,苗條時裝模特的流行是由于 奧黛麗赫本的影響。雖然她看起來很虛弱,但精神上很堅強。在她擔(dān)任聯(lián)合國兒童基金 會親善大使的外交生涯中, 她的演藝生涯結(jié) 束時,她堅定地致力于她的事業(yè), 即使是最 堅定的政治家也對她抱有極高的敬意。1954 年,奧黛麗開始為聯(lián)合國兒童基 金會工作,做廣播演講。她總是說,她很高 興能在她自己的好運氣之后, 用自己的生命 去幫助那些貧窮的孩子們, 以擺脫納粹占領(lǐng) 荷蘭的艱難困苦。她于 1988 年
19、開始擔(dān)任大 使,并開始了許多國家的旅行。她總是說 :這些地方的人不認識奧黛麗赫本,但他 們知道聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的名字。 當(dāng)他們看 到聯(lián)合國兒童基金會的臉亮起來, 因為他們 知道事情正在發(fā)生。 1992 年,她的人道主 義工作與那些需要幫助的人得到了確認, 她 被美國電影藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院授予了瓊赫肖爾特人道主義獎,以表彰她對人類的貢獻。Unit 3奧黛麗赫本是一位美麗的女演員和模Unit 4Why would you leave behind yourcomfortable bed, your home, your family andfriends?

20、alone? Whenyou are living out of a backpack for a period oftime, you may often get questioned why. Iseldom get time to sit down and contemplate thereason I travel, but I believe that you only beginto truly live once you step outside of your comfortzone.My first overseas trip was at 14 years old,whic
21、h sparked my curiosity for the world. Sincefinishing high school I have ventured throughvarious countries and been amazed by all thediverse cultures scattered around the globe. Myeyes are my greatest asset as they havewitnessed the most beautiful scenes that replayin my mind every day: stunning land
22、scapes,friendly locals, breath-taking architecture, andfood that makes your mouth water once youreyes catch a glimpse .Traveling teaches you to be independent inthe most positive way. I know how to depend onmyself, go out and meet people, and not letanyone elses expectations dictate my life. Everyda
23、y I see my dream and every day its in a newplace. I am 22 years young. I quite agree withAnthony Bourdain, If youre 22, physically fit,hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel.Find out how other people live and eat and cook.Learn from them, wherever you go.“你為什么要離開你的舒適的床, 你的 家,你的家人和朋友 ?”你
24、為什么想一個人 去?當(dāng)你在一個背包里生活了一段時間,你 可能會經(jīng)常被問到為什么。 我很少有時間坐 下來思考我旅行的原因, 但我相信只要你走 出你的舒適區(qū),你才真正開始真正的生活。我第一次出國旅行是在 14 歲,這激發(fā) 了我對世界的好奇心。 高中畢業(yè)后,我走遍 了各個國家, 對遍布全球的各種文化感到驚 訝。我的眼睛是我最大的財富,因為它們見 證了我每天腦海中最美麗的場景:美麗的風(fēng)景,友好的當(dāng)?shù)厝?,令人驚嘆的建筑,還有 食物,一旦你的眼睛瞥見了, 你就會流口水。旅行教會你以最積極的方式獨立。 我知 道如何依靠自己, 出去和別人見面,而不是 讓別人的期望支配我的生活。 每天我都看到 我的夢想,每天它
25、都在一個新的地方。 我今 年 22 歲。我很贊同安東尼 布爾登的觀點, “如果你 22 歲,身體健康,渴望學(xué)習(xí),并 且變得更好,我勸你去旅行。 ”了解其他人 是如何生活、 飲食和烹飪的。 無論你到哪里, 都要向他們學(xué)習(xí)。Unit 5In a study conducted in the UK, it was foundthat only four out of every five employees werehappy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popularnotion , friendly, supportive colleagues and
26、agood manager, instead of the salary or the lovefor the work, have been found to be the primarycauses of happiness at work. So, how do youkeep your spirits up and, at the same time, fostera sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tipsto help you on your way to finding happiness andcomplete job s
27、atisfaction in the workplace.Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is astate of mind; it reflects an attitude, though notmany people realize it. Staying happy at work istotally based on your motivations and on apositive outlook toward your job, not on monetaryrewards or material gain. Dwelling on
28、 ( 老是想著 ) the good aspects of the work rather thanrattling on and on ( 對 .喋喋不休 ) about whatmakes you unhappy is the basic key tohappiness. Negativity and gossiping about badthings may be easy, but it is looking at the brightside that makes for the challenging part of a job.As Francesca Reigler puts
29、it, Happiness is anattitude. We either make ourselves miserable , orhappy and strong. The amount of work is thesame.在英國進行的一項研究中發(fā)現(xiàn), 每五名 員工中只有四人在工作中感到快樂。 令人驚 訝的是,與普遍的觀念相反,友好、支持的 同事和一個好的經(jīng)理, 而不是工資或工作的 熱愛,被認為是工作中快樂的主要原因。那 么,你如何讓你的情緒保持高漲,同時,在 工作中培養(yǎng)一種快樂感呢 ?下面是幫助你在 工作中找到幸福和完成工作滿足感的方法 之一。從積極的態(tài)度開始。幸福是一種心境 ; 它
30、反映了一種態(tài)度,盡管沒有多少人意識 到。在工作中保持快樂完全是基于你的動機 和對工作的積極態(tài)度, 而不是金錢獎勵或物 質(zhì)收益。 關(guān)注工作的優(yōu)點,而不是喋喋不休 地說什么讓你不快樂是幸福的基本要素。 消 極和八卦不好的事情可能很容易, 但它看到 的是光明的一面, 這是工作中具有挑戰(zhàn)性的 部分。正如弗朗西絲卡所做的,“幸福是一 種態(tài)度?!蔽覀円醋屪约和纯?,要么快樂 而堅強。工作量是一樣的。 ”Unit 6World War II was a global war that wasunder way by 1939, and ended in 1945. Itinvolved a vast maj
31、ority of the worlds nations,including all of the great powers, eventuallyforming two opposing military alliances: the Alliesand the Axis(軸心國).It was the most appallingand widespread war in human history, withinnumerable people serving in military units. In astate of total war, the major participants
32、 placedtheir entire economic, industrial, and scientificcapabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing(消除)the disti nction betwee n civilia n andmilitary resources. Estimates for the total numberof casualties of the war vary, because manydeaths went unrecorded . Most suggest thatsome 60 mill
33、ion people died in the war. Manycivilians died because of disease, starvation, andmassacres.The war ended with the total victory of theAllies over the Axis in 1945. World War II alteredthe political alignment( 結(jié)盟) and socialstructure of the world. The United Nations wasestablished to foster internat

36、面戰(zhàn)爭”的 狀態(tài)下, 主要參與者將他們的整個經(jīng)濟、工 業(yè)和科學(xué)能力置于戰(zhàn)爭努力的服務(wù)中, 消除 了平民和軍事資源之間的區(qū)別。 估計戰(zhàn)爭傷 亡人數(shù)各不相同,因為許多死亡沒有記錄。大多數(shù)人認為大約有 6000萬人死于這場戰(zhàn) 爭。許多平民死于疾病、饑餓和屠殺。1945 年,同盟國在軸心國的戰(zhàn)爭中大 獲全勝。第二次世界大戰(zhàn)改變了世界的政治 格局和社會結(jié)構(gòu)。 聯(lián)合國的成立是為了促進 國際合作和防止未來的沖突。蘇聯(lián)和美國成 為超級大國,為所謂的冷戰(zhàn)奠定了基礎(chǔ)。冷 戰(zhàn)持續(xù)了 46 年。與此同時,歐洲大國的影 響力開始下降, 而亞洲和非洲的非殖民化開 始了。大多數(shù)工業(yè)受到損害的國家都開始走 向經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇。政治一
37、體化,尤其是在歐洲, 是為了穩(wěn)定戰(zhàn)后關(guān)系。American economy is built on credit. In thelast decade, however, cheap credit made it tooeasy for people to buy houses based on purespeculation that real estate value wouldendlessly continue to increase. But the housingslump set off a chain reaction in our economy.Individuals an

39、 into this mess. But it is also true that oureconomy is incredibly unstable right now , andbeing that it is built on credit, it needs an inflow ofcash or it could come crashing down.

40、ours, potentially causinga worldwide recession.Credit in and of itself is not a bad thing.Credit promotes growth and jobs.

41、ight of theindustry, there is potential to stabilize the market,which is what everyone wants. Whether or not itworks is to be seen, but as it has already beenvoted on and passed, we should all hope it does.美國經(jīng)濟是建立在信用基礎(chǔ)上的。然 而,在過去的十年里,廉價信貸使得人們很 容易以純粹的投機行為來購買房產(chǎn), 而房地 產(chǎn)價格將會不斷增長。 但房地產(chǎn)市場的低迷 引發(fā)了我們經(jīng)濟的連鎖反應(yīng)。 個
42、人和投資者 再也不能為了快速獲利而轉(zhuǎn)售房屋, 抵押貸 款不再為許多房主所負擔(dān)得起, 成千上萬的 抵押貸款違約, 使得投資者和金融機構(gòu)面臨 著可怕的后果。諷刺,不是嗎 ?沒錯,信貸確實讓我們陷 入了困境。但是,我們的經(jīng)濟現(xiàn)在非常不穩(wěn) 定, 而且它是建立在信貸之上的, 它需要資 金的流入,否則它可能會崩潰。這是沒有人 愿意看到的, 因為它會在幾個小時內(nèi)傳遍我 們的經(jīng)濟,進入世界市場,可能會引發(fā)全球 性的經(jīng)濟衰退。信貸本身并不是一件壞事。 信貸促進增 長和就業(yè)。然而,信用的不良使用可能是災(zāi) 難性的,而這正是我們現(xiàn)在即將看到的。只 要拯救計劃伴隨著貸款監(jiān)管的改變和對行 業(yè)的更多監(jiān)管,就有可能穩(wěn)定市場,
43、這是每 個人都想要的。不管它是否有效, 但它已經(jīng) 被投票通過了,我們都希望它能成功。Unit 8Laughter is an automatic response to beingtouched by a tickle(搔癢)-a reaction that a childwould naturally be provoked into. This puts thetickler in charge of how much or how long the childlaughs. We adults dont read childrens minds, butwe often have a p
