Those that cant survive either because people lose interest or get scared off will simply wither away. (Para 15)那些能够自我维持、自我完善的社区将会昌盛起来（而且也许会壮大并分裂为一个个依据更加具体的兴趣和身份而建立的分社区）。而那些不能生存的社区或是因为人们对它们失去了兴趣或是因为人们被吓跑了则将渐渐萎缩并消失。 Unit 81. 一个懒惰的人容易才思枯竭，因为他总不用脑思索。A lazy person is apt to get his mind impoverished because he doesnt make use of his intelligence all the time.2. 看到这张照片，我仿佛回到了无忧无虑的学生时代。This photo conjures up memories of my carefree school days.3. 他意识到他已经被大家看成是打杂跑腿的了。He realizes now hes been typecast as an executive errand boy.4. 这个协会的目标就是为了让传统的家具设计技艺永世流传。The goal of the association is to perpetuate the skills of traditional furniture design.5. 成见通过用巨大的、可以辨别的剪图来掩盖这个纷杂喧闹的大千世界，并以此来减轻我们的脑力劳动。Stereotypes economize on our mental effort by covering up the blooming, buzzing confusion with big recognizable cutouts.6. 真正的改变是一个漫长的过程：现实的点点滴滴汇入我们的脑海，直到它们渐渐带有模糊不清的生活本质The true process of change is a slow one that adds bits and pieces of reality to the pictures in our heads, until gradually they take on some of the blurriness of life itself.7. 这位著名的女演员告诉记者说她在成名前特别快乐。The famous actress said to the reporter that she was perfectly happy until fame was thrust upon her.8. 他的一个密友警告他，如果他继续买些没用的东西就有破产的危险。One of his intimate friends warns him that he is in danger of losing all his money if he continues to buy useless items.9. 通过对这个项目各个方面的仔细研究，他们发现成功完成的可能性极大。Having delved deeply into all aspects of the project, they find that there is every prospect of success.10. 他们记得的是全班最不听话的坏孩子犯了错误，因为在记忆中他们是少数不合群的学生。It was the unpopular members of the class the “bad guys” they remembered as being out of step.Book II Unit 1 E-C听讲课存在的一个问题是：会听是很难的事。阅读课本中相同内容是更有效的学习方法，因为学生可以根据其需要慢慢阅读直到他们理解这些内容。有时甚至仅仅做到专心听讲都很难。人们可以以每分钟400600个字的速度听，而最富有激情的教授说话的速度也很难达到这个速度的1/3.讲话和理解之间的时间差导致开小差。很多学生认为多年来看电视已经削弱了他们保持注意力的能力。但是他们真正的问题是专心听课比他们认为的要难的多。 讲课这一方式不会完全从大学消失。一是因为讲课似乎从经济上是必需的，二是讲课起源于悠久的传统，而且人们又把传统本身看的很重。但是讲课通常出现在学生接受教育生涯的错误的那一端在大学的第一年和第二年，那时他们最需要密切的、甚至是针对个体需要的指导。如果讲课这一形式局限于三、四年级的学生，则对学生的兴趣和热情的破坏力会比目前的制度小的多，因为三、四年级的学生不太需要学科上的指导和帮助，而且更有能力自己制定学习计划。毕竟学生在能够从听讲课中学到知识之前必须先要学会去听。Book II Unit 2 E-C我们大多数人都把自己同自己的出生地或我们称之为家的地方紧密相连。不能回家以获得安全感是令人痛苦的。2别的学生一开始很兴奋，几周后却发现自己开始想念所熟知的事物，并希望见到朋友和家人。3 当我们搬迁到新的环境，需要以不同的方式与不同的人交往以满足自己的需要的时候，我们每个人都会有想家的感觉。4 有时，如果这个人开始对爱的需要不能得到满足，想融入新群体的愿望又不能实现，那么想家就可能会导致更严重的忧郁症。5 通常，想家是另一种表明我们害怕面对未来或怀疑自己应对能力的方式。Book II Unit 3 E-C理由之一是，每个物种在他所处的由所有动植物和无生命的气候、土壤、水和空气等组成的生态系统中都占有一个特殊的地位。例如，在森林中，较高的树掉下的残枝在土壤中形成一个水分保持层，供其他植物利用。它们的根可以固定土壤，防止土壤被暴雨冲走。无论是活树还是枯树都可以为动物和鸟提供栖息地，为昆虫提供食物。枯树腐烂以后还可以肥沃森林的土壤，得以使其他植物从原处拔地而出。这样的大树就是我们所说的主要物种；如果它们从生态系统中消失，其后果会遍及所有居住在森林的其他物种。哈佛大学的生物学家，爱德华 . 威尔逊说：“一个主要物种的消失就像钻头意外的地钻断电线，导致四处断电。”在当前第六次“大灭绝”时期，每小时平均有三个物种灭绝，也就是每天有74个物种灭绝，每年合计达27000个。其中有些物种虽然我们不确定是哪些毫无疑问是主要物种。Book II Unit 4 E-C1 然而，X一代人目睹了他们的父母为了职业晋升而做出牺牲，结果却遭遇了美国公司的大量裁员。2 这些不同的观点视角常常导致工作中的冲突。他们彼此都易于把对方概念化。3 X一代人认为自己没有理由要尽职苦干，因为他们能把工作做的又快又好，而且仍有时间来休闲和陪伴家人。4 有人会说唯一的解决办法是通过司法体系，因为随着婴儿潮时期的人不断变老，与年龄歧视有关的诉讼可能会增加。5 但是，历史就是如此循环往复随着婴儿潮时期出生的人开始退休，X一代开始掌权，Y一代开始步入社会。Book II Unit 5 E-C男人挣钱养家、女人生儿育女是有史以来天经地义的社会生活模式，虽然这种模式并不总如过去一个半世纪现代社会中表现的那样极端。也许除了在没有年幼儿童的成人伴侣中可以进行很多社会实验认为核心家庭可以或者应该被完全抛弃是极其鲁莽的。当孩子成为综合考虑因素的一部分时，基本的生理和社会限制就可以发挥作用比如母亲对幼小儿童的重要性如果抛弃核心家庭的中心元素，社会将会承担极大的风险。与其努力同时承担男性挣钱养家和女性生儿育女的双重责任，并为自己不能达到目的而不断地感到失望和不安，不如我们更坦然的承认、考虑、并欣赏不同性别的截然不同的需求、性兴趣、价值观和目标，这样我们会做的更好。与其不分男女都追求“具有男性偏向的自由”，我们应该做更多的工作来促进一种社会文化；给予注重家庭亲情关系和养育子女的传统女性价值观更多的重视和尊重。因此，如果要推进社会以及个人的利益，经过改良的传统婚姻性别角色是必要的。友情提示：部分文档来自网络整理，供您参考！文档可复制、编制，期待您的好评与关注！11 / 11
