The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome, to bar her participation in otherwise acceptable social activities, to shackle her to the residue of slavery and other injustices of the past. The simple truth is that her grandmother, her great-grandmother and all the great-great-grandmothers before them never experienced one day of life free from the harsh decrees of state-sponsored racial repression.In hindsight, it appears that her birth was an uneventful one. But at age three she was reciting speeches from church pulpits. Upon discovering books, the child delved into the written word, turning out weekly book reports for her father. Even during turbulent times, not a moment was wasted. Seeds were being planted, watered, and nurtured. On April 13, 1964, nearly an adolescent and watching television from the linoleum floor of her mothers walk-up flat in something deep inside of her. She was watching the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony and saw a young African-American actor receiving the film industrys highest honor. Sharing in that moment and all it implied she later told me, caused her to say softly to herself, “If he can do that, I wonder what I could do?”The ground had been set. The journey of Oprah Winfrey had begun. The babe, the child, the adolescent, the young woman-all their strengths were harnessed into a force of astonishing power that placed itself in the service of nature and the human family. That the world has changed in meaningful ways since 1954 is beyond question. Oprah and her activities were driving forces in many of those changes. Her enormously influential talk show, her philanthropic work with children in Africa and elsewhere, her popular book club and magazine, her empowering spiritual message, her contribution (by action and example) to improving race relations-all speak to the human family, touching hearts and leaving each one uplifted.Mississippi too seems to be mellowing out into a more congenial place than it was in 1954. that may also be partly due to the very special energy that is Oprah Winfrey-a courageous, funny, compassionate, well-informed, dazzlingly curious person, as down-to-earth and loving as any human being Ive ever known.參考譯文:故事的詳情圍繞在1954年六月29日出生于密西西比，科修斯科山的一個(gè)女嬰。那時(shí)，對(duì)于像Oprah Winfrey (奧普來.溫弗里)這樣日常開銷負(fù)擔(dān)特別繁重的單親家庭來說，她的出身并不是那么讓人期待。她所在的國(guó)家，已經(jīng)有適當(dāng)?shù)姆傻群蛑鴮⑺袨椴皇軞g迎的對(duì)象，阻擊她參加其它合理的社交活動(dòng)，讓她背負(fù)上了奴隸制度剩余產(chǎn)物的枷鎖，還有以往其它一些不公平的待遇。簡(jiǎn)單的事實(shí)就是她的祖母、曾祖母以及更早的一代之前，在政府縱恿的種族鎮(zhèn)壓法令下，從未經(jīng)歷過一天生命的自由。之后的跡象表明，她的出生似乎平淡無奇。但是，在她三年的時(shí)候，便開始在教堂的講道壇背誦演說，在發(fā)現(xiàn)了書籍的之后，她便鉆研上面寫過的句子，每周向她的父親作一次書籍匯報(bào)。即使在那個(gè)動(dòng)蕩不安的年代，也從不浪費(fèi)一刻功夫。種子正在播種灌溉。在1964年4月13日，她已成長(zhǎng)為一個(gè)青少年，在她母親那間無電梯的公寓的油布地毯上，電視里的一些東西深深地了觸動(dòng)了她。那時(shí)她正在看奧斯卡獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)直播，一位年青的美國(guó)黑人演員被授予了電影行業(yè)中的最高榮譽(yù)。在分享那個(gè)神圣的時(shí)刻之后，她告訴了我所有這一切都在暗暗地促使她輕聲地告訴自己“他能做到，難道我就做不到嗎?”道路已經(jīng)被鋪平了，Oprah Winfrey 開始了她的旅程。從嬰兒到小孩、到青少年、再到年輕女士萬(wàn)事俱備，使得她在服務(wù)于自然界與人類家庭上迸發(fā)出一種驚人的能力。從1954年起，毫無疑問，世界已經(jīng)以一種積極的方式發(fā)生著改變。Oprah和她的脫口秀是其中的很多改變動(dòng)力。她影響深遠(yuǎn)的脫口秀、對(duì)非洲乃至其它地方的小孩博愛舉動(dòng)、廣受歡迎的書籍雜志俱樂部、激動(dòng)人心的演說辭、以身作則為改善種族關(guān)系所作的貢獻(xiàn)。這一切都講給人類家庭，觸動(dòng)了他們的內(nèi)心，每個(gè)人都深受鼓舞。密西西比也受到了潮流的影響，比1954年看起來適意得多。其中的部分也許同樣歸功于Oprah Winfrey的非常獨(dú)特的精神力量一個(gè)勇敢、有趣、富有同情心、見識(shí)廣博、閃耀著知識(shí)光芒的人，是我所知的人中最腳踏實(shí)地、讓人鐘愛的一個(gè)。Unit 2 PeoplePhrases and Sentence:1、 I dont ever want to have the effect on a person that this person had on me, where I was just blown away by disappointment.

Secretary-General, he or she would look something like this: African born; European and American educated, with decades of service in the U.N. system; married to a European; and possessing a quiet charisma and calm authority as chaos arises.That the U.N. in 1996 found such a person to restore its sense of direction and purpose was a near miracle. But out of the U.N.s failures in Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda came Kopi Annan, the career international civil servant who had participated in these disasters yet somehow survived and learned from them.Today Annan is in the middle of his second term. His task is not finished, and the U.N. is still far from what it should be. But Annan has tested the limits of the job, accumulating more authority-one cannot use the word power, given the constraints the U.N. system places on him-than any of his predecessors.His complex relationship with the U.S. government is little understood. When Annan takes positions in public that are displeasing to the bush administration, it unleashes its attack dogs. Yet when administration officials found their policies in Iraq floundering, they asked the U.N. for help. Some observers told Annan that he should responsibility was to the cause of stabilizing Iraq. He began to work toward the decisive date of June 30, when the u.s. will hand over control to Iraqi authorities and an uncertain situation will prevail determined by factors way beyond his, or anyone elses, ability to control. But it is Annans destiny to be handed the very worst problems after they have been unsuccessfully addressed by others. Anyone who knows him knows he wades into such problems with his usual blend of courage, self-control, modesty and optimism.參考譯文：如果讓電腦來設(shè)計(jì)一個(gè)完美的聯(lián)合國(guó)秘書長(zhǎng)，他/她應(yīng)該是這樣的：出生在非洲;在歐洲和美國(guó)接受教育;在聯(lián)合國(guó)工作十年以上;配偶是歐洲人;出現(xiàn)混亂局面時(shí)能保持冷靜、富有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)魅力的權(quán)威人士。1996年聯(lián)合國(guó)找到了這樣一個(gè)人來恢復(fù)它的方向感和目的性，這簡(jiǎn)直就是個(gè)奇跡。聯(lián)合國(guó)在波斯尼亞、索馬里和盧旺達(dá)的行動(dòng)失敗后，科菲.安南卻脫穎而出。身為國(guó)際公務(wù)員的他對(duì)參與了這一系列的空難性行動(dòng)，幸存下來，并且從中學(xué)到很多東西?，F(xiàn)在，安南的第二任期已過一半。然而，他的任務(wù)還沒有圓滿完成，聯(lián)合國(guó)離其理想狀態(tài)還很遠(yuǎn)。但安南已經(jīng)體驗(yàn)到了他這份工作的局限性因?yàn)槁?lián)合國(guó)體制對(duì)他的限制，他不能利用言語(yǔ)力量，然而他卻比他的前任們積累了更多的權(quán)威性。他與美國(guó)政府的復(fù)雜關(guān)系鮮為人知，當(dāng)安南在公眾面前的表現(xiàn)不能取悅布什政府的時(shí)候，美國(guó)就會(huì)攻擊他。反過來，當(dāng)美國(guó)政府官員發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的政策在伊拉克舉步維艱的時(shí)候，他們卻向聯(lián)合國(guó)尋求幫助。有些觀察家建議安南不要幫助美國(guó)擺脫困境，但是安南明白，自己最大責(zé)任是促成伊拉克局勢(shì)的穩(wěn)定。他開始朝6月30號(hào)這個(gè)決定性的日子努力，美國(guó)將會(huì)在這天向伊拉克政府移交政權(quán)，這將千萬(wàn)動(dòng)蕩局面。不管是安南還是其他任何人，在伊拉克問題上的成功與否都不會(huì)取決于他個(gè)人的控制能力。但是，安南注定要處理這些棘手的問題，而這些問題是由別人的失敗造成的。所有熟悉安南的人都知道他將帶著他一貫的勇氣、自我控制能力、謙恭和樂觀來介入這一難題。Unit 3 House and FamilyPhrases and Sentence:1、 She soon called my attention to the fact that she couldnt work full time and keep house, too.call attention to(喚起注意)keep house(當(dāng)家)2、 I guess I just took it for granted that a wife was supposed to take care of her kids and husband.take it for granted：(視為當(dāng)然)be supposed to：(應(yīng)該、被期望)3、 Youve got to get to know them.have got to do：(必須做)get to：(在這里作“開始”的意思)4、 But maybe Id better take that back and give her a hand.take bake：(在這里作“取消”的意思)give Sb.

In the months that followed, six of its commercial tenants ran off. They did not want to be in the tallest anything, anywhere, anymore. At a time when U.S. Vice president Dick Cheney was still being shuttled around to undisclosed locations, skyscrapers suddenly seemed like the most disclosed locations. For a while, it looked as though the tall building, at least in the U.S., might be one more casualty of war.Three years later, despite fears of terrorist attacks, big is beautiful again. On July 4, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg presided at the rise at the World Trade Center site. New skyscraper projects are under way once more elsewhere in the city and around the U.S. Meanwhile, outside the states, where the taste for tall buildings never really faded, the skyscraper has also beenpoking its head up in very different ways, and not just for reasons having to do with security. Since the 1990s, tall buildings have been reshaped by a number of global architecture stars whose vision is finally beginning to penetrate the more conservation American market.Some of the best examples of that rethinking now fill two large galleries of the Museum of Modern Arts temporary outpost in Queens, New York. Using 25 spectacular architectural models (some of more than 4 m high), “Tall buildings”, a show that runs at MOMA through Sept.27, looks at the ways in which the skyscraper has evolved since the early 1990s, at least in the hands of its most gifted practitioners, the kind who are proposing-and even producing, but usually in other nations-buildings that dont resemble the dull boxes that crowd most American downtowns.Engineering is, among others, a path to new kinds of beauty. Just look at Renzo pianos London Bridge Tower, a slender glass pyramid that forms a glittering stalagmite against the old citys skyline. You get a grasp of what ingenious engineering is all about from the London Headquarters of the insurance firm Swiss Re, designed by Norman Foster. Even before it opened in April, it was known as the small cucumber because it rises against the sky like a green pickle. But the buildings single feature is the inclusion of larger interior gardens throughout. But theres a dematerializing spirit even in a building that didnt requiring new fears of engineering-the Arcos Bosques Corporativo in Mexico City, an arched tower with a vertical slot down its center that lightens the buildings mass brings the sky itself into play.“Not only did American invent skyscraper”, says the Spanish designer Santiago Calatrava, “it invented the skyline.” But American skylines have got a little dull.
