paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is

is marked with a letter.Answer the question by marking the

corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.

From Accountant to Yogi:Making a Radical Career Change

[A]At some point,almost all of us will experience a period of radical professional

change.Some of us will seek it out;for others it will feel like an unwelcome intrusion into otherwise stable careers.Either way,we have choices about how we respond to it when it comes.

[B]We recently caught up with yoga entrepreneur Leah Zaccaria,who put herself

through the fire of change to completely reinvent herself.In her search to live a life of purpose,Leah left her high-paying accounting job,her husband,and her home.In the process,she built a radically new life and career.Since then,she has founded two yoga studios,met a new life partner,and formed a new community of people.Even if your personal reinvention is less drastic,we think there are lessons from her experience that apply.

[C]Where do the seeds of change come from?The native American Indians have a

saying:“Pay attention to the whispers so you won’t have to hear the screams.”

Often the best ideas for big changes come from unexpected places—it’s just a matter of tuning in.Great leaders recognize the weak signals or slight signs that point to big changes to come.Leah reflects on a time she listened to the whispers:

“About the time my daughter was five years old,I started having a sense that‘this isn’t right.’”She then realized that her life no longer matched her vision for it. [D]Up until that point,Leah had followed traditional measures of success.After

graduating with a degree in business and accounting,she joined a public accounting firm,married,bought a house,put lots of stuff in it,and had a baby.

“I did what everybody else thought looked successful,”She says.Leah easily could have fallen into a trap of feeling content;instead,her energy sparked a period of experimentation and renewal.

[E]Feeling the need to change,Leah started playing with future possibilities by

exploring her interests and developing new capabilities.First trying physical exercise and dieting,she lost some weight and discovered an inner strength.“I felt powerful because I broke through my own limitations,”she recalls.

[F]However,it was another interest that led Leah to radically reinvent herself.“I

remember sitting on a bench with my aunt at a yoga studio,”she said,“and having a moment of clarity right then and there;Yoga is saving my life,Yoga is waking me up,I’m not happy and I want to change and I’m done with this,”In that moment of clarity Leah made an important leap,conquering her inner resistance to change and making a firm commitment to take the bigger steps. [G]Creating the future you want is a lot easier if you are ready to exploit the

opportunities that come your way.When Leah made the commitment to change, she primed herself to new opportunities she may otherwise have overlooked.She recalls:

[H]One day a man I worked with,Ryan,who had his office next to mine,said,“Leah,

let’s go look at this pace on Queen Anne.”He knew my love for yoga and had seen a space close to where he lived that he thought might be good to serve as a yoga studio.As soon as I saw the location,I knew this was it.Of course I was scared,yet I had this strong sense of“I have to do this.”Only a few months later Leah opened her first yoga studio,but success was not instant.

[I]Creating the future takes time.That’s why leaders continue to manage the present

while building toward the big changes of the future.When it’s time to make the leap,they take action and immediately drop what’s no longer serving their

purpose.Initially Leah stayed with her accounting job while starting up the yoga studio to make it all work.

[J]Soon after,she knew she had to make a bold move to fully commit to her new future.Within two years,Leah shed the safety of her accounting job and made the switch complete.Such drastic change is not easy.

[K]Steering through change and facing obstacles brings us face to face with our fears.

Leah reflects on one incident that triggered her fears,when her investors threatened to shut her down:“I was probably up against the most fear I’ve ever had,”she says,“I had spent two years cultivating this community,and it had become successful very fast,but within six months I was facing the prospect of losing it all.

[L]She connected with her sense of purpose and dug deep,cultivating a tremendous sense of strength.“I was feeling so intentional and strong that I wasn’t going to let fear just take over.I was thinking,‘OK,guys,if you want to try to shut me down, shut me down,’And knew it was a negotiation scheme,so I was able to say to myself,‘This is not real.’”By naming her fears and facing them head-on.Leah gained confidence.For most of us,letting go of the safety and security of the past gives us great fear.Calling out our fears explicitly,as Leah did,can help us act decisively.

[M]The cycle of renewal never ends.Leah’s growth spurred her to open her second studio—and it wasn’t for the money.

[N]I have no desire to make millions of dollars.It’s not about that:it’s about growth for me.Honestly,I didn’t need to open a second studio.I was making as much as money as I was as an accountant.But I know if you don’t grow,you stand still, and that doesn’t work for me.

[O]Consider the current moment in your own life,you team or your organization.

Where are you in the cycle of renewal:Are you actively preserving the present,or selectively forgetting the past,or boldly creating the future?What advice would Leah give you to move you ahead on your journey?Once we’re on the path of growth,we can continually move through the seasons of transformation and renewal.

36.Readiness to take advantage of new opportunities will make it easier to create

one’s desired future.

37.By conventional standards,Leah was a typical successful woman before she

changed her career.

38.Leah gained confidence by laying out her fears and confronting them directly.

39.In search of a meaningful life,Leah gave up what she had and set up her own

yoga studios.

40.Leah’s interest in yoga prompted her to make a firm decision to reshape her life.

41.Small signs may indicate great changes to come and therefore merit attention.

42.Leah’s first yoga studio was by no means an immediate success.

43.Some people regard professional change as an unpleasant experience that disturbs

their careers.

44.The worst fear Leah ever had was the prospect of losing her yoga business.

45.As she explored new interests and developed new potentials,Leah felt powerful

internally.

Section C

Directions:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four

choices marked A),B),C)and D).You should decide on the best choice

and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line

through the centre.

Passage One

Questions46to50are based on the following passage.

Urbanization—migration away from the suburbs to the city center—will be the biggest real estate in2015,according to a new report.

The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry,as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development making cities like New York and San Francisco so successful.

As smaller cities copy the model of these“24-hour cities”,more affordable versions of these places will be created.The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city”,and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston,Austin,Charlotte,and Nashville,which are“positioning themselves as highly competitive,in terms of livability,employment offerings,and recreational and cultural facilities.”

Another trend that looks significant in2015is that America’s largest population group,Millennials(千禧一代),will continue to put off buying a house.Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials,haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.

This trend will continue into the2020s,the report projects.After that,survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents’footsteps,moving to the suburbs to raise families,or will choose to remain in the city center.

Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure.Most roads,bridges,transit,water systems,the electric grid,and communications networks were installed50to100years ago,and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.

The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market,but also our ability to remain globally competitive.

Apart from the specific trends highlighted above,which cause some investors to worry,the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy.Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a“good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in2015.While excessive optimism can promote bad investment pattern,resulting in a real-estate “bubble”,the report’s writers downplay the potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.

46.According to the new report,real estate development in2015will witness.

A)an accelerating speed

B)a shift to city centers

C)a new focus on small cities

D)an ever-increasing demand

47.What characterizes“24-hour cities”like New York?

A)People can live without private cars.

B)People are generally more competitive.

C)People can enjoy services around the clock.

D)People are in harmony with the environment.

48.Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?

A)They can only afford small apartments.

B)The house prices are currently too high.

C)Their parents’bad experience still haunts them.

D)They feel attached to the suburban environment.

49.What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?

A)The continuing economic recession in the country.

B)The lack of confidence on the part of investors.

C)The fierce global competition.

D)The worsening infrastructure.

50.How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S.real-estate

market in2015?

A)Pessimistic.

B)Hopeful.

C)Cautious.

D)Uncertain

Passage Two

Question51to55are based on the following passage.

The brain is a seemingly endless library,whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetime’s knowledge.But is there a point where it reaches capacity?

The answer is no,because brains are more sophisticated than that.Instead of just crowding in,old information is sometimes pushed out of the brain for new memories to form.

Previous behavioral studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting.But in a new study,researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.

In daily life,forgetting actually has clear advantages.Imagine,for instance,that you lost your bank card.The new card you receive will come with a new personal identification number(PIN).Each time you remember the new PIN,you gradually forget the old one.This process improves access to relevant information,without old memories interfering.

And most of us may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new,relevant memories.Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier.This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new,but similar information)is particularly vulnerable to interference.

When we acquire new information,the brain automatically tries to incorporate (合并)it within existing information by forming associations：And when we retrieve (检查)information,both the desired and associated but irrelevant information is recalled.

The majority of previous research has focused on how we learn and remember new information.But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the condition under which we forget,as its importance begins to be more appreciated.

A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life.While it may sound like an advantage to many,people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability burdensome.

In a sense,forgetting is our brain’s way of sorting memories,so the most relevant memories are ready for retrieval.Normal forgetting may even be a safety to ensure our brain doesn’t become too full.

51.What have past behavioral studies found about our brain?

A)Its capacity actually knows no limits.

B)It grows sophisticated with practice.

C)It keeps our most precious memories until life’s end.

D)New information learned pushes old information out.

52.What is the benefit of forgetting?

A)It frees us from painful memories.

B)It helps slow down our aging process.

C)It facilitates our access to relevant information.

D)It prevents old information from forming associations.

53.What is the emphasis of current studies of memory?

A)When people tend to forget.

B)What contributes to forgetting.

C)How new technology hinders memory capacity.

D)Why learning and forgetting are complementary.

54.What do people find about their rare ability to remember every detail of their life?

A)It adds to the burden of their memory.

B)It makes their life more complicated.

C)It contributes to their success in life.

D)It contributes a rare object of envy.

55.What does the passage say about forgetting?

A)It can enlarge our brain capacity.

B)It helps get rid of negative memories.

C)It is a way of organising our memories.

D)It should not cause any alarm in any way.

Unit1 蛙的故事 最近发生了几桩怪事儿。 我在北威斯康星州的树林中有一座小木屋。是我亲手搭建的，前面还有一间花房。住在里面相当惬意。实际上我是在户外做音频制作和环境方面的工作--作为干这一行的工具，我还装备了一间带电脑的工作室。 还有一只树蛙也在我的工作室中住了下来。 去年十一月，我第一次惊讶地发现他（只是这样称呼罢了，事实上我并不知道该称“他”还是“她”）坐在电脑的音箱上。我把他放到花房里去，认为他呆在那儿会更舒服一些。可他又跑回来呆在原地。很快我就习惯了有他做伴，清晨我上网查收邮件和阅读新闻的时候，他也在一旁关注这个世界。 可上周，我突然对这个爬上爬下的“小绿人或小灰人”产生了好奇心。 于是有一天，我正在工作室里干活，电脑嗡嗡作响。当树蛙从我面前爬过时，我不得不停止工作。他停下了并转过身来，坐在那儿看着我。好吧，我也干脆停下来望着他。五个月了，他一直这样陪着我。我突然有一股强烈的欲望想了解他：为什么他要呆在这儿而不乐意呆在花房里？我认为对树蛙来说，花房显然要舒适得多。 “你为什么呆在这儿？”我情不自禁地问他。 我目不转睛地盯着他，他也直视着我。然后我听到一种叮咚声。这种声音似乎一下子就进入了我的大脑中枢，因为它和电脑里发出来的声音十分接近。在那个声音里我听到树蛙对我“说”：“因为我想让你明白”。唷，太不可思议了。“明白什么？”我脑海中突然跳出了这个问题。然后经过短暂的体验这种交流之后，我觉得我已经理解了树蛙待在这儿的原因。我开始理解树蛙只是想听到其他同类的叫声并并与之交流。或许他误以为计算机发出的声音就是其他树蛙在呼唤他。 真是有趣。 我继续工作。我正在写一个关于全球气候变化的故事。有个朋友刚好发过来一份传真，说地球的温度正以每十年1.9度的速度上升。我知道，照这种速度下去，每年春天我都爱去提取树浆的这片枫林，到我孩子的那一代就将不复存在。我的故乡美丽的威斯康星州也会在下一代变成一片草原。 此刻，树蛙从我脚背跳过去站在电脑前的地板上。然后他伸出手来从后面拢起左耳凝神倾听，接着他又站在电脑前伸出右手拢起另一支耳朵。他这样转动着脑袋，聆听那个声音，非常专心致志。他的皮肤起了微妙的变化，呈现出一种亮丽的绿色，然后他就用尽全力跳到电脑上。 我猛然想起去年在收音机里听到的一则关于青蛙的消息，说是全世界的青蛙正在死亡。消息说因为青蛙的皮肤就像是一个内里朝外的肺，所以正在受到污染和全球气候变化的影响。据说已经发现有些青蛙的皮肤已变得像纸一样干瘪。还说青蛙是一个"物种指示器"，由于对环境敏感，这个物种会先遭灭顶之灾。 这时我明白了。 青蛙向我们传递了一个信息。一些头脑清醒的人士也曾向我们传递过同样的信息，那就是"我们别无选择。"我们已经进入了关键时刻，为了人类的子孙后代，也为青蛙，我们必须对这个星球负起主人的责任。 因为我们休戚相关。

unit1响尾蛇伤 我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背后。一天，我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西瓜自己吃。他们是不许我拿这把刀的，因为它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。但它是切西瓜的最好工具。一刀下去，西瓜就一分为二了。 我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜，突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。我为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。 转眼一看，却发现是一条响尾蛇。我知道响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的，而我对那响声的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。后来我才明白它是没有时间警告，我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。我边往家飞奔，边大声喊叫，满脑子想的都是自己肯定要死了。妈妈赶快解下围裙用上面的带子绑在我的膝盖上部。她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。最近的住宅是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。再远点的是吉姆·安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。妈妈冲向安德森家。安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔城里，在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。回到家，妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了，因为我直叫系得太紧。妈妈给我重新绑上，她用力很猛以致于我失声叫了起来。 然后，妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望。这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间，一直延伸到小山顶端，因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物。我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆，尤其是爸爸赶车的时候。这时，如果得到允许，汤姆就会因为急于吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来，爸爸也总是允许它这么做的。 赫伯·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸，如果他不在就找麦肯斯医生，再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。 妈妈一边盯着看谁的马先出现，一边不时地进屋安慰我。 终于，妈妈说道：“你爸爸来了。” Read more 误解 这是个古老的故事，的确是要说到1864年的事。那时，英国军队驻扎在牙买加的一个团养了只官兵都喜爱的大猴子。那是只善于思考、极有主见的猴子，他的行为习惯和举止总是令军官们开心不已。他的居所对着军官食堂的窗户，尽管身上系着很长但不重的链子，他照样自得其乐，淘气逗人。比如有一天，他觉得一位年轻军官羞侮了他，便立即把食堂窗户敲得惊天动地。军官们只好把他的居所移到一个不太招眼的地方，但他依旧自娱自乐。任何活生生的东西，只要胆敢闯入他链长所及的范围内，就免不了被折腾得手忙脚乱一阵子。而那些倒霉的鸡鸭，却经常误入他的领地。那就会被他一下子抓住，有时竟被他扼杀，不过更多的时候，他都是恶作剧地对这些痛苦的阶下囚实施全身或半身拔毛手术，然后再放开。 然而，有一只鸡却让他突然强烈地喜欢上了。他是逮住了它，但他即不拔毛也不扼杀，反倒是百般怜惜、抚爱有加。这种毫无顾忌的举动使那只不幸的鸡恐怕是宁受拔毛之刑吧。猴子拧它，揉它，抚摸它，搂抱它，把它举得高高地，令它展翅起舞，又把它放开一会儿，可当它试图逃脱时又顽皮地将它两腿一抓。可那只鸡怎么地都不领情，反倒是完全误解了猴情猴意。但猴子却始终不渝，牢牢地紧握着这个心肝宝贝不放松。他满以为忠贞不渝的柔情蜜意即能赢得芳心归，没想到讨好卖乖了一番却不成功，因而更加大献殷勤：不一样地抚摸，更挚着地摩挲，更卖力地搓揉，还逗得它更欢快地舞蹈。可万分钟情也未能赢得回眸一顾。终于，在猴子极其亲昵的拥抱中，鸡给整死了，至死也未能理解猴的一片赤诚。 猴子处于极度悲伤之中。可想而知，他好不容易发现心爱之鸡，而这心爱之鸡未能回报丝毫之柔情，竟弃他而去！可悲复可怜！他开始着手祭奠的仪式，每一动作都表现出他沉痛

Unit 1 Passage A (p12) 学无止境 终考的最后一天，东部一所的大学里，一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上，谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。他们脸上都充满自信。在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前，这是他们最后一门考试。 他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。 眼前这场考试，不过是小事一桩。这门课的教授已经说过，除考场上不能交头接耳外，允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。考生们依次进入考场，心情轻松而愉快。当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后，学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂，因为考卷上只有五道论述题。 3个小时过去了，教授开始收回考卷。考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情，自信已经荡然无存。当教授收完考卷，看着全班学生时，所有的人都沉默不语。 她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道：“5道题答完的有多少？” 没人举手。 “答完4道的有多少？” 还是没有人举手。 “完成3道题的？2道题的？” 考生们有些坐不住了，不安地动了动。 “那么，有没有写完一道题的？我想总有人做完一道题吧！” 考场里还是一片寂静。教授放下手中的考卷，说：“果真不出我所料。” “我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程，在这个领域里，你们还有很多东西不懂。在你们今后的日常工作中，类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。”接着，她微笑着补充说：“你

们都会通过考试，但是请记住，即使你们现在已经毕业了，你们的学习才刚刚开始。” 多年后，这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘，但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。 Read and translate 1. →译文：He has no longer written to his friends ever since he got a mobile phone. 2.→译文：Even though he is very busy, he spends at least two hours every day surfing the Internet, aiming to know about the latest development in this area / field. 3. →译文：Professor Li made a short speech at the commencement, his words of which were deeply impressed upon my memory. 4. →译文：Talking of the final exams the students were not nervous at all. On their faces was confidence. 5.→译文：To write a short passage of about 100 words within 30 minutes would be a snap to most students in their class. Passage B (P17) 时光如能倒流 四年的学习生涯结束，毕业的那一刻终于到来。不到两个星期我就要毕业了。回首往昔，竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。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，一边询问教学楼在哪儿。现在我已是即将毕业的老生，用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞，让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。许多人迫不及待地等待毕业，我却与他们恰恰相反。我希望时间倒流，让我将大学生活的每一天重新来过。 对我来说，大学生活是非常重要的学习经历，绝大多数学习过程都是在课外学到的。大学第二年对我来说也许是生命中最精彩的一年。正是这一年，我终于让妈妈确信我住校没有问题，她同意了我住校。也正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友。经历了许多成功与失败使我对自己有了更深的了解。大二生活使我体验了许多新的事物：山地宿营，在报纸上发表一些拙陋的诗歌，在课堂上给老师画漫画。 漫步在熟悉的校园路上，我陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆之中。我多希望能够重头来过，再次扑捉大学生活的快乐和兴奋。一想到就要毕业我的心就惶惶恐恐。从记事起我就一直在读书，我感到还有许多东西想学，可我不得不离开学校毕业了。世界如此之大，可能发生的事情又如此之多。过去的四年我一直

Unit1 A篇 我在哈佛的第一周 新生进入哈佛校园的第一天，据说总是令人激动不已。这的确也是我来到哈佛第一天的真实写照。父母陪着我开车驶过主校门进入校园时，那柔和的阳光透过绿树间隙照射在古老的砖墙建筑上。沾满晨露的绿草在阳光下闪闪发光。我凝视着车窗外面的迷人景色，心中暗想：“最幸运的新生不过如此了！” 我们来到了卡纳迪公寓——我的宿舍楼。我和四个女孩同住在四室一厅的套房里。这个套房在顶楼，天花板很高，上面有天窗。从卡纳迪公寓到餐厅和上课的教室，都只需要两分钟的路程。我很喜欢自己的室友。我们各自的背景、种族、宗教信仰和兴趣爱好都完全不同。这也反映出哈佛引以自豪的“多样性”。第一周，幸亏有这样四个可称为朋友的女孩相伴，帮助我顺利度过了到哈佛后的这段适应期。这一周有许多重要的决定需要我来做，而没有父母和好友的帮助，有时我会感到十分艰难。 选课是第一步。在哈佛，新生唯一的必修课是说明文写作。这一年，我实际上可以选修我想学的任何课程，而且课程的门类出奇地多！我该如何选择呢？庆幸的是哈佛允许新生在“选课周”里到课堂试听。上课时间和平时一样，我们可以试听任何想选修的课程，多少不限。如果我最后决定选修某一门课程，我就要完成“选课周”里布置的所有功课。另外，如果我试听了一门选课表上看似很好的课程，却发现这门课并不适合我，或教授讲课枯燥乏味，我可以决定不选修这门课！同样艰难的是在众多的运动队、出版社团、乐队、戏剧社或俱乐部中做出选择。到底该参加哪一个呢？ 在哈佛，就餐肯定也是最能引得新生关注的事情之一。不过并不是指一日三餐吃的东西——尽管饭菜很可口，而是指就餐的环境真的很好。我们的餐厅与其说是个自助食堂，不如说更像是一个教堂或博物馆。桌子、椅子、地板、墙壁，还有高高的天花板都是用华丽的深色木料制作的，油漆得精光锃亮。而且，大厅里悬挂着枝形吊灯，墙上镶嵌着明亮的彩色玻璃窗，厅里到处可见哈佛历史名人的雕塑和画像。 哈佛第一周的所有这些经历将成为我毕生的珍贵记忆。然而，哈佛这一周给予我的最宝贵的财富，却是我遇到的其他同学。我在这儿遇到的每一个人都是那么朴实。每当我看到有人在嘉佩乐音乐会上演唱动人的歌曲，有人在才艺秀上表演精彩的小提琴独奏，有人在我去听的一堂课上阐述深刻的见解，我都惊讶不已！能够欣赏身边这么多有天赋的同学并能与他们相伴，这正是我在哈佛第一周体验到的最宝贵的经历。一周已经过去，四年大学生活就在前头——真是令人迫不及待！ Unit2 A篇 我们都有梦想。通常,当我们睡着了。这样的梦想可以比帮助更伤人。例如,假设在做梦你吃小麦片,醒来,发现只有一半床垫不见了!嗯,我指的并不是这种类型的梦。相反,我在考虑一个人的视野,愿望,或狂热的对未来的希望。我们的梦想是我们的灵魂之歌。生活中没有一个是减少到一个空洞的存在。但是生活有梦想充满了意义和目的。 尼尔?皮尔特既是Rush摇滚乐队的鼓手和主要词作者，也是一位作家和哲人。请看他是何等优美地表述了生活和梦想之间的关系：“生命就像一支蜡烛，而由梦想将其点燃。”安利公司的创始人理查德?M?德沃斯也谈及希望之火：“一个人心怀梦想和大志，时时刻刻地在渴望和希望，却没有尝试将这一切付诸现实，还有比这种人的生命更富悲剧性的吗？他的梦想只能发出摇曳的微弱光亮，却永远不能迸发出火焰。”

综合英语教程(第三版)BOOK3-课文译文09.第九单元

第九单元 TEXT 学习语言 当我们谈论起学习一种语言，比如英语，日语或者西班牙语时，我们讲的和想的仿佛所说的这种语言是固定不变的事物。我们期望学习一种语言就像学几何学或学习如何骑自行车一样，系统地学、并且最终有明确的成就。许多人发现这种观念错了后，最后就放弃了学习。实际上人们要学会一种语言，可能是走上了一条要持续终生的道路。学习语言的经历使人们意识到如果要想成功，不仅要实实在在地努力，而且还认识到，在许多情况下，即使是他们称为“母语”的语言，他们也并不是大师。 实际上，学习任何一种语言是一种永无止境的航行。目前世界上所使用的数千种语言中的任何一种都是复杂的。虽然许多语言的确有它的标准形式，尤其是书面语，这也就是我们所学习的语言，但是这些语言可能也有各种各样的地区方言和社会风格，而且许多语言是在历史上与其他语言混合的产物。英语就是这种混合的语言。英语开始自己语言航程不到两千年，它开始是一种古德语，接着与一种特殊的古法语相碰撞，然后受到几波拉丁语和大量的希腊语浪潮的冲击，以后，英语又从与人们使用的其他每一种语言接触中获得了多多少少的成分。 第二个有关语言的错误观念是词语有固定和明确的意思。不管有利还是有弊，这都完全不正确。以看似简单，而且很具体的英语单词man为例：该词的意思似乎很清楚，它指的是成年男子。当然它是这个意思，不过考虑一下下面这些句子： 1) There are several men missing in that chess set.那使(国际)象棋里少了几个棋子。

2) The boat was manned entirely by women and children. 这条船完全由妇女儿童驾驭。 人们也可能认为这些句子有一点自然；确实，它们并不代表man这个词惯常的核心意思，然而，这些意义是核心意义的合理延伸。第二句尤其有意思，因为man是动词而不是名词，而且man一词表示人们期望成年男子当船员，不是妇女，当然更不是儿童。语言的一部分乐趣和天赋很可能就产生于单词使用时的“偏颇”。如果人们把某人称为一匹猫或一棵大白菜，它所表达的不是字面意思，然而它确实表达了多种意义。 关于这种语言的第三个错误观念是每一种语言能被或应被各地的所有使用者一样使用和理解。当然联合王国的标准英语使用者一般能理解美国英语使用者所说的语言。这两种主要的英语形式存在着很大的相似性。然而，这些国家讲方言的人在相互理解方面的问题有时严重到他们怀疑是否使用的是同一种语言。纽约布鲁克林人很难与伦敦佬交流，一位老派的英军上校不能顺利地与一位加利福尼亚反战部进行讨论。然而他们都生活在20世纪世界英语的大家庭中。 (陈同英译，吕睿中校) READ MORE 希腊和罗马的神话
