All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 譯文：人們最初是如何發(fā)明單詞的不得而知，換句話說，語言的起源是個秘密。所有我們所知道的只是，人，不同于動物，不知怎么發(fā)明了某些聲音來表達思想、情感、行為和物質(zhì)，以便相互交流；后來統(tǒng)一了某些被稱為字母的符號，這些字母可以連起來代表那些聲音，可以寫下來。我們把那些聲音叫做單詞，不管他們是口語還是書面語。文字的力量在于其聯(lián)想性即文字可以使事物呈現(xiàn)在我們的腦海中。通過經(jīng)歷，單詞對我們充滿了意義。我們活得越久，某些單詞就越能使我們回憶起過去的喜怒哀樂；我們閱讀和學習得越多，有意義的單詞數(shù)量就越增加。偉大的作家是那些不僅具有偉大思想而且能用詞匯來表達這些思想的人，他們的思想強烈地震撼著我們的心靈和情感。對單詞的這種美妙和具有影響力的使用，就是我們所謂的文學性。更重要的是，真正的詩人是文字大師。他可以用音樂般的詞匯來表達自己的意思，這些詞匯憑借其所用環(huán)境和聯(lián)想性能讓人感動得流淚。因此，我們應該學會仔細選擇所用詞匯并準確使用，否則會使我們說的話可笑又粗俗。6.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A persons conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other peoples reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “Youre just saying that to make me feel good. I know its not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Lets not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 譯文：羞怯是許多人不快樂的原因。害羞的人焦慮不安，自我意識強，也就是說，他們過分在意自己的形象和行為。焦慮時?？M繞在他們的腦海中：我給人留下了什么印象?他們喜歡我嗎?我讓人覺得很傻嗎?我的穿著是否不吸引人?顯而易見，這種不舒適的感覺必然給人們帶來了不利的影響。一個人的自我意識反映在他或她的行為上，而一個人的行為會影響他人的反應。一般而言，人們認識自己的方式對他們的生活的方方面面有深遠的影響。羞怯的人非常自卑，他們可能很被動，容易受他人的影響。他們需要得到他人的再次確認：他們所做的是“正確的事情”。羞怯的人對批評很敏感，他們認為批評使得他們更低人一等。他們也發(fā)現(xiàn)自己很難因為受到類似的表揚而高興，如：你剛才所說的使我感覺很好。我知道那不是真的。很明顯，盡管具有自知之明是件好事，但過度自謙則是有害的。羞怯能根除嗎?或至少能減少些嗎?幸運的是，許多人能通過堅決而有耐心地建立自信來克服羞怯。既然羞怯與自卑天生相伴，那么人們能看見他們的優(yōu)缺點是很重要的。每一個人都是獨一無二的，都有其價值所在。我們對我們自己個人的方式感興趣。我們了解自己越多，我們就越容易充分發(fā)揮自己的潛能。不要讓羞怯妨礙我們實現(xiàn)富裕而有成效的人生。11.

Once an English lady came to 22 me. When I was introduced to her she said, Glad to meet you, Miss Ping. Then she gave me her name card with three words on it: Betty J. Black. So I said, Thank you, Miss Betty, We looked at each other and laughed heartily. Later I found that the English people 23 their family names last and the given names 24 , while their middles are 25 used very much. I explained to her that the Chinese family name 26 first, the given name last, so she 27 never call me Miss Ping. She asked if we Chinese had a middle name. I told her we didnt. 28 people may often find three words on a Chinese name card. In this case the family name still comes first, and the other words after it 29 a two-word given name.
