SUMMARY
Unit 1.
众所周知，东方人和西方人在儿童教育方面存在着很大的差异。东方人非常重视儿童早期的技能教育，而并不急于促进创造力的发展。另一方面，西方人更多的强调小孩的创造力，认为技能以后能学会。事实上，学会自己解决问题的办法与把手教的方法各有其优缺点。因此，我们应从两者之间寻求一种更好的教育方式，以达到一种平衡。
It is known to all that there is a great difference in child education between Westerners and Easterners. Easterners give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, rather than promoting creativity. On the other hand, Westerners pay more attention to children’s creativity, believing that skills can be picked up later. In fact, both learning to solve problems by oneself and teaching by holding the hand have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore,we should find a superior way to approach education, striking a better balance between the two extremes.
Unit 2.
萨姆沃尔顿在本顿维尔小镇从一个专卖廉价商品的小店起家，逐渐发展成为价值60亿美金资产的廉价连锁店——沃尔玛公司。人人都说他为人友善，性情开朗，是个好邻居；他尽力与人们融洽相处，从不炫耀，也从不生气凌人。他从不需要任何特殊待遇，也不关心是否是美国首富。而他脑子里真正想着的是沃尔玛十万员工共同取得的成功。萨姆制定了沃尔玛的生活方式。他善待员工，集思广益。他信奉广开思路，褒奖成功。从没见过有谁为他工作或和他接触一段时间后而不受益的——与萨姆沃尔顿交往会使你成为一个好人。
Sam Walton started, in Bentonville, with a little dime store that grew into a＄6 billion discount chain called Wal-Mart. By all accounts, he is friendly, cheerful, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight around. He never wants any special treatment, or cares whether he is the richest man in America. But the real story in his mind is the success achieved by the Wal-Mart team. Sam lays down the Wal-Mart way of life. He treat his people right, and gets ideas into the system from the bottom up. He believes in cultivating ideas and rewarding success. No one who has worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn't better off—coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person.
Unit 3.
在网上呆的太久，就会发生一些奇怪的现象。比如说对社交活动感到厌恶，脾
1st
气暴躁，动辄生气。其原因是缺乏任何形式的社交活动——长时间一个人呆在家里，缺少朋友、同事之间人与人的交流。为了恢复生活的平衡，，我强迫自己回到真实世界中去。我打电话，会见朋友，去健身房，采访写报道，去医院看病。但面对面地与人相处实在难以忍受。我找了个借口逃之夭夭，重新回到公寓，冲向电脑，似乎那才是一个安全的地方。你一旦开始用网络交际取代人与人的真实接触，要走出这种穴居状态就会相当困难。
After too long on the Net, something strange would happen. For example, I feel an aversion to outside forms of socializing, or become bad-tempered and easily angered. This way may be due to lack of life of whatsoever--long time alone at home
without human contact with friends or colleagues. To restore balance to my life, I force myself back into the real world. I call people, meet with friends, get to the gym, arrange interviews for stories, and go to see a doctor. But sometimes being face to face is too much. I make my excuses and flee and re-enter my apartment. I run to the computer as though it were a place of safety. Once you start replacing real human contact with cyber-interaction, coming back out of the cave can be quite difficult.
Unit 5.
迈克尔自从能记事起就一直梦想着飞翔。他母亲故事中的细节使得迈克尔的梦境色彩缤纷、绚丽无比。从14岁起，迈克尔在父亲督导下开始非常周密的训练计划。他父亲的格言是：要想有所收获，就得努力工作。在全国少年奥林匹克运动会上，他超越了个人最好成绩，获得了冠军并创造了新的世界纪录。迈克尔的成功当然/显然都是对他刻苦努力的回报。但是人们最惊讶的是他是一位盲人。迈克尔的故事告诉我们获得成功的两个最重要因素：梦想或想象力和严格训练或努力奋斗。
As long as Michael could remember he had always dreamed of flying. The details in his mother’s stories made his dreams full of color and beauty. From the age of 14, Michael began a very careful training program monitored by his father. His father’s motto: if you want something, work for it. At the National Junior Olympics, Michael surpassed his personal best, won the championship and set a new world record. Michael’s success was, of course, the reward of his hard work. But people were most surprised by the fact that he was blind. Michael’s story tells us two most important factors for success--dream or imagination, and tough training or hard work.
Unit 6.
尽管朋友提醒我不要上当，但女强人的故事仍然令我心醉神迷，我 贪婪地阅读一篇又一篇的成功故事。一般说来，成功的女人都是极有成就的人— 不仅在上
2nd
班之时干得出人头地，而且在工作之余也大有所为。然而，我生性就根本做不到将事事做得有条不紊。无论怎么仔细安排时间，我的计划总是要出问题。另一方面，每天与时间赛跑令人精疲力竭，等我果真有了一些余暇，（我）往往累得都要垮了。也许成为一个女强人对我来说是不可实现的梦想，但我扔想做个明智的投资— 买下一座属于我自己演绎的布鲁克林大桥。
Despite my friend’s warning against being taken in, superwomen tales continue to charm me and I consume success stories by the pound. Generally speaking, successful women are movers and shakers--not only during office hours, but in their spare time as well. However, I am by nature completely unable to get my act together. No matter how carefully I plan my time, the plan always goes wrong. On the other hand, racing the clock every day is such an exhausting effort that when I actually have a few free moments, I tend to collapse. Perhaps becoming a superwoman is an impossible dream for me, but I still want to make a wise investment -- buy my own version of Brooklyn Bridge.
