随着捐款源源不断地进来，我校明年的财务状况会好很多了。这样我们就能集中应对我们作为教育工作者必须承担起最重要的任务：鼓励学生实现他们的学业目的，培养他们成为有责任感、靠得住的人，使他们对将来的生活有所准备，并在他们追求物质及精神满足的过程中给予指导
With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly/academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.
也许你羡慕我，因为我可以借助计算机在家里工作。我也这么想，互联网使我的工作方便多了。我可以通过电子邮件撰写、编辑并交出我的文章，在网上与我的同事聊天，与老板谈论工作。我用鼠标一击，马上能拿到我要的一切资料，获得最新的消息。可是，另一方面，用网络通信有时也令人沮丧。系统有可能瘫痪，更糟糕的是，因为没有面对面交谈的情感提示，键出的词有时候似乎很难理解
Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer. I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier. I can write，submit and edit articles via email, chat with my yyyI need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash. Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret.
众多事实证明这一说法：要想让自己很快从低落的情绪中解脱出来，你得让自己哭。你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体l
看一看唐娜的例子吧。她的儿子在一次车祸中不幸去世。这次打击之大使她欲哭无泪。她说：“直到两个星期后的一天，我才开始放声痛哭。然后，我便觉得好像一块大石头从我的肩膀上抬走了。是眼泪将我带回到了现实之中，帮助我度过危机。”
Numerous facts bear out the argument/statement/claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry. You needn’t/don’t have to be ashamed of crying. Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears. Consider the case of/Take Donna, Her son unfortunately died in a car accident. The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry. She said, “It was not until two weeks later that I began to cry. And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders. It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”

南希*霍普金斯是麻省理工学院（MIT）得到生物学教授。她渴望知识，努力工作。然而，作为一名科学家，她不能不注意校园里男女不平等的各种表现。男女教授做同样的工作，但是到了提升的时候，行政领导却很有选择性。具有讽刺意味的是在取得这么多的文化进步以后，妇女在高等学府里却仍然处于不利的地位。当她增加实验室面积请求被拒之后，她知道她必须抗争。因此她咬紧牙关向校长申诉，这次抗争以胜利告终，南希也因此变成了男女平等的倡导者。
Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equality advocate.

Unit 2
How dose spending connect to happiness?
One explanation lies in \（炫耀式消费）\don't accumulate（积累） wealth simply in order to [consume] it . Rather they accumulate wealth in order to display it, and their happiness is [fueled]（引发） by their neighbors' envy . As a result ,the country finds itself in the grips of a \----families with [annual ] incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with $70,000 , who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000 ,and so on .
It's just [plain] common sense. It's [physically] impossible for a piece of paper like money to make you happy. Instead what makes people happy is the feeling of [security] or power money bring.
A recent survey [indicates] that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richest Americans sand the Maasai of East Africa are almost [equally] satisfied .The Maasai are a [traditional] herding people who have to no electricity or running water and live in huts made of mud(泥浆)
It [follows] that economic development and personal income cannot account for the happiness that they are so often linked to.
Unit 4
I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Francisco and the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north in the town of Mendocino; its closest [companion] to the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east. Federal Express doesn't [deliver] here on Saturdays.
But there in Internet [access] here . It enables me to work at home , writing computer books and articles for computer magazines . It enables local students and historians to conduct research. It [enables] local business ----inns, music stores ,driving schools ---to reach new [customers] . It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the [delights] of websites and chat rooms . In fact , because small towns have few people ,few stores ,and few libraries and schools ,you could argue that the Internet [provides] more benefits to small towns than it does to big cities . But Internet service providers are not interested in [small] markets . What they are interested in is making money . As a result , people in many small towns and [remote] areas are unable to keep up with the development of [information] technology .

Unit 5
The Brooklyn Bridge that spans the river between Manhattan and Brooklyn is simply an engineering miracle .In 1883, a creative [engineer] , John Roebling ,was inspired by an idea for this spectacular bridge . However, bridge building experts told him to [forget] it. It just was not possible .Roebling nevertheless, [convinced] his son, Washing, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge could be built. The two of them conceived the concept of how it could be accomplished and [how] to overcome the obstacles .Somehow they convinced bankers to finance the project. They hired their crew and began to [build] their dream bridge.
The project was only a few months under way when a tragic on-site [accident] killed John Roebling and severely injured his son. Washington was severely brain-damaged, under to talk or walk. Everyone [ thought] the project would have to be stopped ,since the Roebling were the [ only] ones who understood how the bridge could be built.
Thought Washington Roebling was unable to move or talk ,his mind was as [ sharp] as ever. One day as he lay in his hospital bed, an idea flashed in his mind an to how to develop a communication code. All he could move was one finger, so he [touched] the arm of his wife that finger .He tapped out the code to communication to her what she was to tell the engineers who continued building the bridge .For 13 years ,Washington tapped out his [ instructions] with one finger until the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge was [ finally] completed
Unit 6
The words \that her name seems incomplete without them. She was the first black woman to earn a Ph.D from MIT, the first black woman in the country to earn a physics doctorate , and she was both the first African American and the first woman to [ chair] the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Growing up in the late 1950's and early 1960's ,when the race for space was in full [fora],a young Jackson came to see the world around her as \bees and kept them under her family's back porch, making [painstaking] records of their behaviors as he adjusted variables like heat, light ,and diet. \novel,\
Her parents encouraged her to pursue her passions ,and her siblings ,two sisters and a brother,all [ recognized] her natural talents for leadership. But it was the assistant principal at Washington D.C's Roosevelt High School who [steered] her toward MIT. Today ,even at such lofty posts as heading the NRC, Jackson says she is [essentially] doing the same thing she did way back with the bees: studying interactions in the environment around her ,making keen [observations] ,and taking constructive action based on what she learned.
Jackson strongly believes that [woman] must be \encourage one another in their efforts. From her youngest days, she took time to [tutor] fellow women and minority students in their studies. That's because ,says Jackson ,being a trailblazer is only a good thing if one does not allow \to follow .Jackson won;t ba satisfied to go down in history as the '\[ unless] the familiar phrase is followed by two more word :\
