5.Sleep and Your Life(睡眠与生活） Ifyou are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the monrning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don't feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to facea new day. Dr.Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article entitled Stress and Sleep, indicates that stress and lack of sleep are directly related. Dr.Winkle says, "The more we worry, the less we sleep. If we can find a way to get a good night's sleep,"he adds, "we can often find the energy to deal with what's worrying us." So, what is a good night's sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hour is about the average amount, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed. words: tossv.投，掷，摇动 eventuallyadv.最后，终于 refreshv.（使）精神振作，（使）精力恢复，更新 recentadj.新近的，近来的 articlen.文章，论文 entitlev.给…题名 indicatev.指出，显示 varyv.变化，不同 average adj.一般的，通常的，平均的 译文： 如果你为某事担心，并处于工作或学习的重压吓，那么你很可能睡不好。忧虑使你睡不着，在床上翻来覆去，一直到凌晨终于入睡。当你醒来，你不会感到精力充沛，反而会疲惫不堪，无法面对新的一天。 在最近一期报纸的一篇题为“压力与睡眠”的文章中，亨利·温克尔医生指出，压力与睡眠不足有直接的关系。温克尔医生说：“我们越是忧虑就越是睡得少。如果我们能找到办法来睡一晚好觉”，他补充说，“我们就会有足够的精力来对付我们忧虑的事情。” 那么，什么是一夜好觉呢？研究表明，人们为了保持健康所需要的睡眠时间差异很大。7个小时是个平均数。睡得更长不但不会使你精神振作，反而使你觉得头晕脑胀。 |

There will be a growing need for people who can understand and fix systems—from computer systems to product distribution systems to plumbing systems. Visionary skills will be in demand. The ability to gather and absorb a wide range of input, then use that knowledge, understanding, and perspective to guide organization into future, will be vital. Numbers and measurement will be important, of course, but the smoothing the flow from month to month, from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable long—term performance. Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. Everywhere there will be a need to organize something: resources, work—flow, marketing mix, financial opportunities, and much more, all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization. Persuasive skills will be used in many ways by the corporation of the future, the more effective individuals will be those who know how to present information and ideas so that others can understand and suppport. Communication skills—careful listening, clear writing, close reading, plain speaking, and accurate description—will be invaluable.

10.Studying Abroad(留学) In recent years, there has appeared a great upsurge in studying abroad. Thousands of scholars and students have gone to foreign countries to study. Still more people are making great efforts in applying for going abroad. Studying abroad, we will be able to see foreign lands, experience new things and make new friends. We can act as mediators between people of different cultures so as to promote international understanding. We can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from the foreign countries. We can enjoy the contact with foreign cultures so as to increase the awareness of our own culture. We can see more clearly the strong and weak points of our own county by looking at her from outside. We have the opportunity to improve our foreign languages. However, it is sure that to study abroad you will have to spend a lot of time and energy learning a foreign language. Language barrier is the most serious problem. Most students have difficulty understanding their lessons in the first few months. Financial difficulty is the second problem they are faced with. Most students have to find part—time jobs in order to support themselves while studying. Additionally, you will have to leave your family and friends for a long period of time, so sometimes you might feel lonely. words: upsurgen.高潮 scholarn.学者 mediatorn.介体，中介 promotev.促进，发扬，提升，提拔 advancedadj.高级的，年老的，先进的 contactn.接触，联系 awarenessn.知道 barriern.（阻碍通道的）障碍物 译文： 近年来，留学热潮高涨。成千上万的学者和学生们都去国外留学，还有更多的人正在力争留学机会。 留学国外，我们可以去看看外国风光，体验新事物，结交新朋友；我们可以充当不同文化间人们交流的使者，以促进国际间相互了解；我们可以向外国学习更多的先进科学技术知识；我们可以接触到外国文化，以加强对自己国家文化的了解；我们可以从另一个侧面看到我们国家的长处和短处；我们有机会提高外语能力。 然而，如果留学国外，你也需要花大量的时间和精力来学习外语，这是一个不争的事实。语言障碍是最严重的问题。很多学生到了国外后在开头几个月都很难听懂讲课。经济困难是他们面临的第二个问题。很多学生要找一份兼职工作来支持自己学习。除此以外，由于你得离开家人朋友很长一段时间，所有有时你会觉得很孤独。 |

14. The Internet—A Two—Edged Sword(因特网——双刃剑） There is a good side and a bad side to everything—and that includes the Internet. There is no denying that the Internet can vastly improve the efficiency of scientific research; it allows scientists swift access to all the data and research findings in their fields available worldwide. Moreover, as information is as valuable as any material resource, anyone who has access to the Internet has a competitive advantage in business over those who don't. Last but not least, the Internet has made personal communication both more convenient and more rapid. While there is a great of enthusiasm nowadays over the advantages of the Internet, its drawbacks should not be neglected. Not all the information available on the Internet is either useful or harmfulness; subversive and pornographic items can infiltrate the message downloaded by people unfamiliar with the "web". words: vastlyadv.广大的 efficiencyn.效率，功率 availableadj.可用到的，可利用的 materialn.材料，原料 competitiveadj.竞争的 communicationn.传达，交通 convenientadj.便利的，方便的 enthusiasmn.狂热，热心 drawbackn.缺点，障碍 subversiveadj.颠覆性的，破坏性的 pornographicadj.色情的，色情作品的 infiltratev.渗透 downloadv.下载 译文： 任何事物都有好坏两面，因特网也一样。 毫无疑问，因特网大大提高了科研效率；它使得科学家们很快地接触到其所研究领域中全球范围内的所有可用数据和成果。另外，由于信息和其他所有物质资源一样宝贵，在做生意方面，能接触因特网的人比不能接触的要有更大的竞争优势。最后，因特网使私人交流更加方便、更加迅速。 尽管如今因特网的优点是受人关注，但是它的缺点也是不容忽视的。不是所有的网上资源都有用且无害，一些破坏性的和色情的东西会渗透到某些信息中，那些对网络不是很熟悉的人会将其下载下来。 |

24.Theaters Going Digital(影院进入数字化时代） Grab the popcorn, film lovers. You may be about to sit through one of the best movie outcomes in years: digital cinema. The digital image is brighter, sharper, the colors are more crisp and the image is a bit steadier. A digital film can be sent to theaters via satellite, optical discs or fiber optic networks. And subtitles can be exchanged in and out minutes before show time. India has started one of the most ambitious digital cinema investment programs. New investment is also under way in many European and Asian countries. China's first digital cinema theatre is located in the Xujiahui district of Shanghai on the top floor of one of the city's largest shopping malls, the Grand Gateway. The theatre screens both local and imported films It is likely that Europe and Asia will quickly surpass the United States—the early digital cinema pioneer—as the new word capitals. words: digitaladj.数字的 grabv.抢夺，攫取 popcornn.爆米花 outcomen.结果，成果 crispadj.酥脆而新鲜的 steadyadj.稳固的，稳定的 viaprep.经，通过，经由 satelliten.人造卫星 opticaladj.眼的，视力的，光学的 fibern.光纤 subtitlen.副题，说明对白的字幕 ambitiousadj.有雄心的，野心勃勃的 investmentn.投资，可获利的东西 surpassv.超越，胜过 pioneern.先驱，先锋 |

27.Makiing Friends（交友） Everyone needs friends, and if you fail to make friends, it is time to look at yourself and see if something in your personality is to blame. Maybe you have social faults such as snobbishness, talkativeness, and using slang, etc. Which drive away new acquaintances. Whatever your social fault may be, look at it honestly, and really try to correct it. To be friendly you must feel friendly. Cheerfulness is the basis of friendliness, and a cheerful person smiles. A smile is a magnet which draws people. Smile at someone and you are almost sure to get a smile in return. A friendly person does his best to make stranger feel at home , wherever he happens to be. Put yourself in the other fellow's place and make him feel welcome. A friendly person thinks of others of others, and does not insist on his own “rights”. People who refuse to consider others have few friends. Finally, don't make the mistake of treating people according to their social standard. Real friendliness respects everyone at all time. words: balmev.责备，谴责 faultn.过错，缺点，毛病 snobbishnessn.势利 talktivenessn. 爱说话，饶舌 slangn.俚语，行话 acquaintancen.相识，熟人 basisn.基础，基本 magnetn.磁体，磁铁 fellown.人，家伙，伙伴 treatv.视为，对待 standardn.标准，规格 译文： 每个人都需要朋友，如果你没有朋友，就应该审视一下你自己，看看自身的品格有什么缺憾。也许你有社交方面的缺点，诸如势利、饶舌、出语粗俗等等，使得新朋友避而远之。不管你的社交缺点是什么，正视它，下决心去改正它。 有友善之心才能友好待人。愉快是友善的基石，一个愉快的人总是笑口常开。微笑是一块能吸引别人的磁石。对人微笑，别人也会对你微笑。 一个友善的人不管身处何方，都会尽其所能使陌生人有在家般的亲切感觉。设身处地为他人着想，让人感到无拘无束。 一个友善的人常为别人着想，不会坚持自己所谓的“权力”。不顾及别人的人，不可能有什么朋友。 最后，不要根据一个人的社会地位来对待他人，不要犯这样的错误。真正的友善是任何时候都尊敬每一个人。 |

30.How to Make Love Grow（如何让爱升华） Love never just happen. There is, I think, a climate that is best for love—a way of living. First, love needs time. Perhaps people can fall in love in a moment, but mature love is like a tree, moving slowly from the seed in the ground to the sheltering splendor of its prime. People need time to deepen their affection, to appreciate one another's differences, to share one another's joys and griefs. What's more, love needs words to make it real. Without words, quarrels can't be resolved, resentment can't come to the surface, we lose the power to share the meaning of our lives. There are many ways fo communicating. The important thing is to acknowledge and express our feelings. Love is not a single act, but a climate in which we live, a lifetime venture in which we are always learning, discovering, growing. Love is a climate—a climate of the heart. word: climaten.气候，风土，思潮 matureadj.成熟的，到期的 shelterv.掩蔽，躲避 splendorn.光彩，壮观，杰出 primen.青春，精华 deepenv.加深，深化 affectionn.友爱，爱情 appreciatev.赏识，鉴赏，感激 griefn.悲痛，伤心事，不幸，忧伤 quarreln.吵架，反目，怨言 resentmentn.怨恨，愤恨 communicatev.沟通，通信 acknowledgev.承认，答谢，报偿 venturen.冒险，投机，风险 译文： 爱从来不会偶然产生。我认为有一种氛围对爱的滋生是再好不过的。那就是一种生活方式。 首先，爱需要时间。人们有可能一见钟情，但是成熟的爱情就像一棵树，由土里的一粒种子慢慢成长为枝繁叶茂的大树。人们需要时间来加深情感，理解彼此的不同，分享彼此的快乐和悲伤。 另外，爱需要语言表达来成为现实。没有语言，矛盾就无法解决，怨恨无法浮出水面，我们也就失去了分享生活意义的权利。沟通的方式有很多种，其中最重要的是承认并且表达我们的情感。 爱不是一场独角戏，而是一种生活氛围，也是我们一生都在努力追求的。我们在这过程中不断学习，不停发现并且逐渐成熟。爱是一种氛围—一种心灵的氛围。 |

33.How Americans spend Their Free Time(美国人怎样度过闲暇时间） Americans spend their free time in various ways. American is a country of sports—of hunting, fishing and swimming, and of team sports like baseball and football. Millions of Americans watch their favorite sport on television. They also like to play in cmmunity orchestras, make their own films or recordings, go camping, visit museums, attend lectures, travel, garden, read, and jion in hundreds of other activities. The people also enjoy building things for their homes, sewing their own clothes, even making their own photograhs. They do these things for fun as well as for economy. But as much as Americans enjoy their free time, the country is at the same time a “self—improvement” country. More than 25 million adults continue their education, chiefly by going to school in the evening, during their own free time, at their own expense. Added to the time spent on personal activities, Americans also devote a great amount of their time to the varied needs of their communities. Many hospitals. schools, libraries, museums, parks, community centers, and organizations that assist the poor depend on the many hours citizens devote to these activities, often without any pay. words: variousadj.不同的，各种各样 favoriteadj.喜爱的，宠爱的，中意的 communityn.社区，团体，集体 orchestran.管弦乐队，乐队演奏处 recordingn.录音带，唱片 campingn.露营，野营，帐幕生活 activityn.行动，行为 improvementn.改进，进步 adultn.成人，成年人 chieflyadv.首要，主要地 citizenn.市民，公民 译文： 美国人享受闲暇的方式多种多样。 美国是喜好运动之邦——打猎、钓鱼、游泳以及棒球和足球等团队运动都是美国人经常从事的运动。千百万美国人从电视里收看自己最喜欢的体育节目。他们也喜欢参加社区交响乐团，自己拍电影或录象，露营，参加博物馆，听演讲，旅行，园艺，阅读，或参加成百上千的其他活动。美国人还喜欢为自己的家园造一些东西，自己缝衣服，自己做照片。而这一切不仅为了省钱，也是因为乐趣。 美国不仅是一个尽情享受闲暇时光的国度，同时也是“自我进修”的国家。超过2500万的成年人自己出钱，利用空余时间继续接受教育，主要是晚上念夜校。美国人除了花时间从事个人活动外，还贡献出很多时间为社区提供服务，以满足各种需求。许多医院、学校、图书馆、博物馆、公园、社区中心和济贫机构，都依靠公民无偿贡献自己的时间来做工作。 |

36.Youth(青春） Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempermental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man fo 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinklw the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self—distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long sa it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. Samuel Erman① words: suppleadj.柔软的，逢迎的，顺从的 vigorn.精力，活力 temperamentaladj.气质的，性情的 predominancen.优势 timidityn.胆怯 appetiten.食欲，胃口，欲望，爱好 desertv.放弃，遗弃，逃跑 wrinklen.皱纹 enthusiasmn.狂热， 热心，积极性 lurev.引诱 Infiniten.[宗]上帝，神 ①这篇Samuel Erman（塞缪尔·厄尔曼）写的不足500字的短文，半个世纪以来一直产生轰动效应；美国麦克阿瑟将军生前将其视为座右铭。本文有删节。 译文： 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢弘的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进去压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有家，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 |
