Summary: When students finish college, they have mastered a quite a lot of information, but not as much as they may think they have. Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information.

There is now way it can give them all the information they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly.

Grading System in the U.S.

Most colleges use letter grades like A, B, C, D, F, and some use plus or minus like B-or C+. To computer students’ averages they say A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. It takes an average of 2.0 to graduate. Grades of F must be repeated to get credit. Most students take 5 or occasionally 6 courses per semester, and most courses are 3 credits. It usually takes between 120 and 130 credits to graduate. A few colleges use numerical grades instead of letters. If so, most likely A=90, B=80, C=70, D=60, F=50, but this may be up to the professor.

Step 3 Post-reading Tasks (45mins)

Summary: College is safe laboratory in which to experiment with new things. There are no parents around to control you or make all decisions for you. But most of the decisions you make don’t have as great a risk as they will have after college. Being a student is a real career but only a temporary one. Teachers can give some guidance without being either parents or bosses. Classmates can set either a good or a bad example, and you can learn to tell the difference. What happens outside the classroom is an important part of the college experience. Students should cherish all of this like the student in the story, because they may never have such and opportunity again.

Development Background of Distance Learning

Typically we perceive that higher education has always used the lecture method to deliver material. In reality, this is a relatively new phenomenon. For centuries, knowledge was passed from a master to a pupil in a one-to-one or one-to-few arrangement (apprenticeship form of education). This method is still used in most Ph.D. programs today. Over time, the lecture method of arranging a meeting at a given place and time with many students was adopted and has now become the primary educational delivery method. However, classroom lecture has not singularly been used for educational delivery in the twentieth century. Distance learning through the use of closed circuit television has existed for over 25 years. In addiction, correspondence courses have existed for over 50 years. Generally, these methods have not been perceived as providing the same learning impact as the lecture method.

In the United States, formal education fifty years ago was basically the province of a privileged few in our society. However, as the American economy has changed form an agrarian mode, then to the industrial mode, through the information age, and now in the telecommunication age, formal education, which includes exposure to the liberal arts and technology, has become essential for the economic success of individuals, organizations and countries. The undergraduate student population three decades ago was basically single, residential, full-time, and 18-23 years old. As we enter the telecommunication age, with its vastly expanded employment skill sets, the undergraduate student population has changed to include older, married employed, and non-residential stude nts. The American work force must continuous be retained as a result of technological changes.

Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins)

1) What characteristics are typical of the traditional classroom?

2) Why is completing a program no longer a problem for an online student?

3) How do online students interact with their classmates?

4) Are there any limitations for the students to register for an online course? Why or why not?

5) According to the author, what is the future of online education?

2. Skim the passage and try to find the main idea:

Main idea:Online education is cheaper and more convenient than classroom-based learning. Time and money are saved on travel, classroom space, books. Almost anyone can take almost any class whenever they wish. All students can benefit, and some students could not take classes any other way.

How can a person start over when his or her life is changed by unexpected events? 3. Culture Notes:

Perceptions of Distance Learning

Students’perceptions: Student opinion is mixed, and we lack the range and quantity of data that lets us draw any clear conclusions. In general, all students seem to like the scheduling convenience offered by asynchronous distance Learners (DL). Many like working with and through computer technology. And many like the additional opportunity for discussion with peers and chances to review material. However, other students have difficulties with technology, find the television or computer mediation uncomfortable and unfamiliar, and appear to need the structure of the traditional classroom for motivation or contact with the instructor and peers. Based on what little evidence is available, it seems that those most satisfied with DL are professionals who already have a substantial grasp of the disciplinary boundaries, methods of investigation, and forms of communication within their field. There are many successes in management and engineering education. Those least satisfied include students just beginning serious study of an area or having little experience in higher education.

Faculty’s perception: Faculty opinion, like student opinion, tends to be mixed. On one hand, many faculty see DL as an opportunity to reach more students, not only non-traditional students, but also students temporarily off campus on co-o[s and internships or on-campus students whose class or work schedule prevents them form taking a class as its regularly scheduled time. They also see the opportunities in

hybrid course in which students complete outside of class the material traditionally presented in lectures, thus leaving class time free for discussion and further exploration of the material. And they see advantages in the use of DL tools to repeat class material for students who have missed class or who want to review. On the other hand, faculty are concerned that DL will change the learning experience in unexpected and perhaps unfavorable ways. They point to the absence of adequate research on course effectiveness in specific disciplines. And they are concerned that some college administrators will use DL as way of substantially increasing class size and replacing faculty with DL systems.

Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 Mins)

Step 1 Pre-reading Tasks (15 mins)

1.Greetings and a brief revision

Ask one or two pairs (groups) to act out their own dialogues

2.Lead-in questions:

1)What do you usually do in your leisure time on campus? (open)

2)How do the students at Oxford spend their spare time?

3)Can you name some clubs and societies at Oxford?

3. Culture notes:

1)OUSU: OUSU is the Oxford University Student Union, a completely separate

organization from the Oxford Union. It is there to support students from all the affiliated Oxford Colleges in a number of ways by, for example, offering various student support services such as the Student Advice Service and The Oxford Legal Student Advice Scheme. OUSU also produces its own publications like The OUSU Living Out Guide, The Oxford Directory, The Welfare Directory and Freshers' Guide.

2)Freshers' Fair: Freshers' Fair is one of the most important events in the student

calendar, and the focal point of freshers' week. It offers Oxford's 6 500 new

students a unique opportunity to sample some of the activities going on in the city and University. It also gives the 350+ student societies that exist the chance to recruit eager new members. There are rooms and a large marquee set aside for companies offering student services to display their products and attract potential customers. Stalls are set out by category, such as sporting clubs, international societies, and religious organizations. It is entirely organized and run by OUSU, and takes place in the major rooms of Examination Schools on the High Street, on Thursday and Friday the first week in October each year. 3)The Oxford Union: The Oxford Union is the world's foremost debating society,

with a deserved reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since its foundation in 1823, the Oxford Union has been the only central student venue in the City and remains the social focus in this fragmented college system. The Union's aim is to serve its members by providing numerous facilities. It has a restaurant, two bars, two full-size snooker tables, the largest lending library for students in Oxford, and the only late-night student bar. In short, with over 10 000 resident members and roughly 85% of new students joining every year, the Union is the centre of University life in Oxford.

Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins)

4) What kind of people do some high status clubs such as the Oxford Union or the Guild Society tend to attract? Why?

5) Does the author generally encourage students to join clubs and societies? Why? 2. Skim the passage and try to find the main idea:

Step 3 Post-reading Tasks

1.Summarize the passage

Summary: Colleges have clubs and societies for many purposes. There’s a group for almost any interest or spare time activity a student may have. These groups typically recruit the freshmen to join, and most freshmen decide to join some of them. It’s a good way to learn, relax, and make new friends. Joining groups can also help build a student’s resume for future employment. But the majority of students are quite right to be suspicious of ambitious classmates who try to be leaders of every group they join.

Book I译文(大学体验英语)英语第一册

Book I Unit 1 College Life A篇学无止境 故事发生在一所东部大学里。那是终考的最后一天。一幢教学楼的台阶上围着一群大四的工科生，都在谈论即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都带着自信。这是毕业前的最后一场考试了，考完后，即是毕业典礼。然后他们将各奔前程。 话题转到了工作上，有的谈起了找好的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试，不过是一碟小菜罢了。老师已经说过可以携带所需的任何书本或笔记，只要不在考试时交头接耳就行了。 学生们兴高采烈地步入教室。试卷发下来了。看到只有5道论述题，他们一个个脸笑上开了花。 3小时过去后，老师开始收卷。学生们先前的那份自信再也看不到了，而是满脸惊慌。老师握着试卷，面对全班，大家都沉默不语。 她扫了一眼眼前这一张张不安的脸，问道："5道题全答完的有多少？" 没人举手。 "做完4道的有多少？" 还是没人举手。 "3道呢？两道呢？" 学生们再也坐不住了。 "那么一道呢？总有做完一道的吧。" 教室里依然鸦雀无声。老师搁下试卷，说道："这我早料到了。" "我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经完成了4年工科学习，这个领域你们还有很多东西要学。其实，你们答不出的这些问题在日常生活中很常见。"她笑了笑，接着说，"这门课你们都能通过，但要记住，你们虽然已经大学毕业，但学习才刚刚开始。" 多年后，我已忘了这位老师的姓名，但牢牢记住了她的教诲。 B篇回眸大学 4年的时光已经过去，这一刻终于来临了。不到两周，我就要毕业了。此刻回想起来，我仍不敢相信时光飞逝如斯。我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边打听教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是大四的学生，常会以羡慕的眼光看着一年级的新生。每天我都祈愿时间会凝滞，接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多我认识的人都迫不及待地想要毕业，我却恰恰相反。我宁愿时光倒流，再度重温大学生活的每一天。 大学生活使我学到了许许多多，而且大都是在课外学到的。大二的生活也许是我生命中最值得留念的一段。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈相信我住校没有问题，她终于让我去了。正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友，历经多次的成功与失败使我对自己有了更多的了解。大二生活还有着种种新的尝试，到山地去野营，把信手涂鸦的诗投到报社，还在课堂上给老师画漫画。 走在校园熟悉的路上，不知不觉中就陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆中。发觉自己好想从头来过，再次体味大学生活的欢娱和激动。一想到毕业心里就一阵阵恐慌。从记事起我就一直在读书。我觉得还有很多东西想学，可是却不得不毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情太多太多。过去4年中，我一直被一张安全的网包围着。学生这个身份总能让人感到欣慰，使我可以躲开外面世界的无情现实。 不到两周就要离校了，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。因为我从记事起就一直是名学生。我觉得自己是在回避毕业。每当别人问起我大学毕业后打算做什么，我就想大声尖叫，我不知道以后想做些什么。甚至不敢想像早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。

Unit 5

Reference Translation Unit 5 PA 奉告学子：教育是关键 比尔·盖茨 每年都有数以百计的学生给我发电子邮件，要我就接受教育给他们提建议。他们想知道该学些什么，或者可不可以从大学辍学，因为我就没有读完大学。 也有不少家长给我写信，为子女寻求指导。他们问：“我们怎样才能把孩子引向成功之路？” 我的基本忠告很简单，而且是发自内心的：全力获得最佳教育，充分利用高中和大学，学会如何学习。 不错，为创建微软，我未完成大学学业，不过辍学之前我已经在哈佛呆了三年，而且我

真心希望有一天能重返校园。以前我也说过，谁也不应该辍学，除非他坚信自己正面临着一个一生仅有一次的机会，但就算在那个时候也还是应该深思熟虑。 在俄亥俄州教六年级的老师凯西·克里德兰写道，“我的好几个学生声称你根本没有读完高中。因为你成功了，我的学生就觉得他们也可以不必要接受良好的教育。” 我高中毕业了的! 计算机行业中确实有很多人没有读完大学，但是我从来没有见过有谁高中没读完就成功创业的。确切地说，我认识的人当中根本没有高中辍学的，更没有高中辍学后事业成功的。 我的公司创立早期，有一个相当出色的兼职程序员，声称要从高中辍学来做全职。我们叫他不要这么做。 我们公司里确实有好些人没有读完大学，但我们不希望人们辍学。谁要想在我们公司谋职，有毕业证书肯定会优先考虑。 不一定只有在大学才能获取信息，在图书馆也可以学习。但人家递给你一本书并不能自动地让你学到东西。你需要向别人学习，提问题，将设想付诸实施，设法验证自己的能力。这一切，往往不是读一两本书就可以做得到的。 接受的教育应该是广泛的，虽然对某些领域情有独钟也不失为一件好事。 读高中时，我有一段时间醉心于软件编写，但大部分时间里，我的学习兴趣相当广泛。我父母鼓励我这么做，对此我感激不尽。 大学期间，我修了很多不同的课程，但我从头至尾只选修了一门计算机课。我读书涉猎很广。 有位家长写信说，她15岁的儿子“钻进计算机无底洞里了”。他的网站设计课得了“A”，但别的科目分数都在下降，她写道。 这个孩子犯了一个错误。高中和大学给你提供了最佳机会，你可以广泛学习——数学，历史，各种学科——有机会跟着别的孩子一起做项目，亲身感受到群体的动力。你对计算机、舞蹈、语言或其他任何的科目有深入的兴趣也无可厚非，但太偏执而舍弃学习广度就不是一件好事了。 如果高中阶段兴趣过于集中，你会面临两个问题。第一个就是进了大学以后你很可能没法改变。另一个问题就是如果分数不够高，你就很难考入大学，而无法向那些积极性很高，很有才能的学生一起学习，他们可以真正帮助你了解这个世界。 大学期间可以适当考虑专业的问题。深入掌握自己感兴趣的领域的专业知识，能够引导你走向成功，除非这个专业没有发展前途，或者你并不很擅长这个方面。读研究生是获取专业知识的一个途径，虽然从纯经济角度来看，大学毕业后再接受教育不一定算是明智的投资。 4. 1. was sinking 2. specialty 3. purely 4. discourage 5. unlikely 6. dynamics 7. actually 8. reasonably 9. have perceived 10. extended 5. 1.took a deep interest in 2. fell into 3. sign up

Unit 1 The Evolving Notion of Home “Home, sweet home” is a phrase that expresses an essential attitude in the United States. Whether the reality of life in the family house is sweet or not so sweet, the ideal of home has great importance for many people. This ideal is a vital part of the American dream. This dream, dramatized in the history of nineteenth-century European settlers of the American West, was to find a piece of land, build a house for one’s family, and start a farm. These small households were portraits of independence: the entire family — mother, father, children, even grandparents — living in a small house and working together to support each other. Everyone understood the life-and-death importance of family cooperation and hard work. Although most people in the United States no longer live on farms, the ideal of home ownership is just as strong in the twentieth century as it was in the nineteenth. When U.S. soldiers came home after World War II, for example, they dreamed of buying houses and starting families. So there was a tremendous boom in home building. The new houses, typically in the suburbs, were often small and nearly identical, but they satisfied a deep need. Many saw the single-family house as the basis of their way of life. For the new suburbanites of the 1950s and 1960s, however, life inside their small houses was very different from life on a farm. First, the family spent much less time together in the house. The father frequently drove, or commuted, as much as an hour to work each morning. The children went to school all day and played after school with neighborhood children. The suburb itself was sometimes called a bedroom community because people used their houses basically for sleeping. Second, the suburb was not a stable community: Families moved frequently as the fathers sought upward mobility — better-paying jobs and bigger houses. Although the idea of home was still as precious as always, it had taken on a different meaning. In the 1970s and 1980s, as more women entered the labor force, the family spent even less time together. But the picture is changing: People can now telecommute, or work at home, while being linked to the office by means of their computers. More and more people can now stay at home. So the old expression could change from
