UNIT ONEA. 有沒有一種 “成功性格”，即幾乎必然使人取得成就的某些性格特征的結(jié)合？如果有的話，這一成功的秘訣究竟是什么？并且，這種性格是否能培養(yǎng)出來？在蓋洛普公司中，我們最近集中深入研究了成功現(xiàn)象，探查了 1 500 名杰出人物的態(tài)度和性格特征。他們是從美國名人錄中隨機抽取的。被收入名人錄的主要標準不是財富或社會地位，而是一個人當前在某個領(lǐng)域中的成就。我們的研究確認了一些在成就最顯著的人身上總是出現(xiàn)的性格特征，其中最重要的五點是：由生活經(jīng)驗得出的判斷力、專業(yè)知識、自力更生的精神、總的智力水平以及把事情完成的能力。如果你培養(yǎng)這些性格特征，你就很可能會成功。而且，你甚至可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的名字有一天也被收進名人錄。B. 1. What you said to him can hardly justify such conduct of yours. 2. Do you think he would be immune from religious persecution by reason of his personal relation with the Bishop?3. Your attitude towards the advice of the psychiatrist will affect whether or not your bad dream recurs.4. The secret to the success of optimists is that they deal with disappointments and failures in a positive way.5. The reason that a pessimist tends to fail is, in part, that a persons opinion about himself is often a self-fulfilling prophecy.6. In very young children, before traits have had much chance to develop, behaviour is less consistent than it is in most adults. A childs changing behaviour may show his changing concern with different features of his activity. His interest always focuses on the business at hand. The person with strong traits and interests persists in what he is doing. Only a major situational change can disturb the direction or purpose of his behaviour.UNIT TWOA. 不論是在青年時夭折還是在老年時死去，都沒有是否虛度了年華來得重要。一個人可能在18 年中比另一個在80 年中活得更有意義。對于生活，我們認為并不是要去不顧一切地積累大量的他人想象為有價值的經(jīng)驗，而是應(yīng)該過好每天的時光，就好像它是唯一的一天。我們的意思是要尋找平和感和力量感去對付生活中的失意和痛苦，同時堅持不懈地努力去發(fā)現(xiàn)能增添更多生活樂趣和喜悅并加以維持的方法。B. 1. The politician was armed with many facts and figures. 2. It struck me that we had really learnt a great deal there. 3.

Scientific research continues to open up previously undreamed- of possibilities. Fifty years ago, few people could even imagine things like computers, lasers and holography. Today, a host of newly-emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering are opening up all kinds of new paths for technologists. Like it or not, our advancing technology has made us masters of the earth.UNIT TREEA. 被認為北美蛇中最兇猛的響尾蛇常常是自然學家們研究和探討的主題。響尾蛇的名字來源于蛻皮時 ( 即蛇把舊皮脫下時 ) 遺留在蛇尾部的一圈圈的硬皮。蛇在被激怒時擺動尾部，一圈圈的硬皮就發(fā)出嘩啦啦的聲響。多數(shù)自然學家認為這聲音是爬行動物緊張時不自覺的反應(yīng)，而不是響尾蛇在對可能之敵傳出的警告。研究表明，響尾蛇是唯一在進攻前發(fā)出信號的毒蛇，而事實上又是唯一尾部有響環(huán)的爬行動物。可是牛蛇和狐蛇在緊張時也都快速顫動尾部。因響尾蛇出擊前發(fā)出聲響，是否就可稱之為“ 蛇中君子”呢?這是個有趣的問題。B. My respected editor,I am greatly delighted that CCTV and your TV GUIDE are inviting us readers to contribute articles on the subject “Television and Me”. But I regret to tell you that I am a disabled girl. My handwriting is bad youll know when reading my manuscript. This is because Im unable to move my hand, and I can write only with “my mouth”. For many years I grip the pen with my teeth and write the way I do. Over the past years I have “mouthwritten” one essay after another, and one poem after another. At this very moment my heart is throbbing with great excitement while answering your call for a report also from me.Yours respectfully,Wang Lia disabled young girlUNIT FOURA. 馬斯洛把自我實現(xiàn)的需要定義為“ 要求成為一個比現(xiàn)狀更好的人，一個實現(xiàn)自己有能力去達到一切的人 ”。在這種水平上生活的人，通常認為工作就是要做的某種事情。其目的就是要使自己成為一個實現(xiàn)個人人生觀的完整的人。這是一種比得到受人尊敬的更高水平的需要，因為所涉及的人已感到他或他的工作是有價值并受到尊敬的。這種人覺得他們的工作本身是有趣并使他滿意的。能達到自我實現(xiàn)的需要起支配作用的階段的人是很少的。一種普遍看法是只有史懷澤或愛因斯坦到達了這個階段，但是馬斯洛認為，每個人都能在一定程度上感到這種需要。B. 1. These young worker-technicians have all the qualifications we can hope for.2. I was more frightened than hurt.3. They wondered what had become of the girl.4. The farmers in that area like to intersperse peach trees among the willows.5. I have a vehement hatred of people who are cruel to animals.6. Even while enjoying the results of technical progress, man must defend the primacy and autonomy of pure knowledge. In addition, pure knowledge is the foundation for practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been sought disinterestedly. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely conceive of contemporary life.UNIT FIVEA. 注視21世紀，新的科學上的突破將使遺傳工程能改變一切，從機器和農(nóng)業(yè)到計算機和工業(yè)。在一些近期前景中，農(nóng)業(yè)上可能栽培出更大的樹，增加谷物產(chǎn)量，甚至生產(chǎn)方形含較少水分容易包裝的西紅柿。可能培育出如大象那樣大小的母牛，能多產(chǎn)40%的牛奶?？茖W家談?wù)撌褂玫鞍踪|(zhì)取代計算機芯片中的硅，以使在同樣的空間能多容納幾十億倍的信息。B. 1.

These unusual phenomena are worth noticing. 4. The partners have been at odds with each other over hiring a new manager. 5. This led us to the conclusion that ignorance fostered superstition. 6. It may come as a surprise to learn that it isnt age that makes you “l(fā)ose your memory”. The reason could be that you have a “l(fā)azy” memory, not an old one. Like your body, your memory improves with exercise. Scientists believe that our brains will work at least 75% more effectively if both sides are exercised.UNIT SIXA. 我們必須猛回頭來尋求人民的智慧，這日子已經(jīng)不遠了。那一天，我們將不得不找出世上未受過教育的人，即頭腦還沒有被學問弄糊涂的人，來更新我們的頭腦。為了學習，我們將不得不忘掉許多東西。而這只有在我們獲得了那種智慧之后，我們才會知道怎樣來利用我們已獲得的知識。一盎司智慧抵得上百萬噸書本，應(yīng)該讓那些學問欠缺而懂得怎樣生活，怎樣維持健康，保養(yǎng)精力的人有機會教我們怎樣利用更多的、能夠利用的知識而不至感到知識缺乏。讓我們從未受過教育的人的智慧中尋求公正、美麗、寬容和對自然規(guī)律的理解吧。B.1.

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite (or God), so long are you young.UNIT SEVENA. 在所有那些有一定自尊又有相當內(nèi)容的報紙的中間部分都有一些版面，以其獨到的眼光和創(chuàng)造性而辦得比頭版更具色彩。在諸如 “ 微型市場 ” 這樣的紅字欄目下，擠滿了密密麻麻的醒目小廣告，并附有大量的輪廓線條插圖。這些廣告宣傳的奇異商品比天方夜譚中阿拉丁的山洞寶庫更加琳瑯滿目。這些廣告代表著一種亞文化，甚至包括它自己的語言和標志。它的敘事語言都用最高級，它唯一的語法規(guī)則是驚嘆號。所提供的全部商品的共同特征是以某種確實很獨特的方式極其誘人地使生活豐富多彩。這些商品總是能夠滿足制造出來的需求，因為這是一種在廣告出現(xiàn)之前幾乎毫無例外地并不存在的需求。B. 1.
