1、Unit 1 Fresh StartText A Toward a brighter future for allToward a brighter future for all 1 Good afternoon! As president of the university, I am proud to welcome you to this university. Your achievement is thetriumph of years of hard work, both of your own and of your parents and teachers. Here at t

2、he university, we pledge to make your educational experience as rewarding as possible.2 In welcoming you to the university, I am reminded of my own high school graduation and the photograph my mom took of my dad and me. "Posenaturally," Mom instructed us. "Wait!" said Dad, "

3、Let's take a picture of me handing him an alarm clock." The clock woke me up every morning in college. It is still on my office desk.3 Let me share with you something that you may not expect. You will miss your old routines and your parents' reminders to work hard and attain your best.

4、You may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with high school, and your parents may have cried tears of joy to be finally finished with doing your laundry! But know this: The future is built on a strong foundation of the past.4 For you, these next four years will be a time unlike any other

5、. Here you are surrounded by great resources: interesting students from all over the country, a learned and caring faculty, a comprehensive library, great sports facilities, and student organizations covering every possible interest from the arts to science, to community service and so on. You will

6、have the freedom to explore and learn about new subjects. You will learn to get by on very little sleep, meet fascinating people, and pursue new passions. I want to encourage you to make the most of this unique experience, and to use your energy and enthusiasm to reap the benefits of this opportunit

7、y.5 You may feel overwhelmed by the wealth of courses available to you. You will not be able to experience them all, but sample them widely! College offers many things to do and to learn, and each of them offers a different way to see the world. If I could give you only one piece of advice about sel

8、ecting courses, it would be this: Challenge yourself! Don't assume that you know in advance what fields will interest you the most. Take some courses in fields you've never tried before. You will not only emerge as a more broadly educated person, but you will also stand a better chance of di

9、scovering an unsuspected passion that will help to shape your future. A wonderful example of this is the fashion designer, V era Wang, who originally studied art history. Over time, Wang paired her studies in art history with her love of fashion and turned it into a passion for design, which made he

10、r a famous designer around the world.6 Here at the university, it may not always be pleasant to have so many new experiences all at once. In your dorm, the student next door may repeatedly play the one song, which gives you a giant headache! You may be an early bird while your roommate is a night ow

11、l! And still, you and your roommate may become best friends. Don't worry if you become a little uncomfortable with some of your new experiences. I promise you that the happy experiences will outweigh the unpleasant ones. And I promise that virtually all of them will provide you with valuable les

12、sons which will enrich your life. So, with a glow in your eye and a song in your heart, step forward to meet these new experiences!7 We have confidence that your journey toward self-discovery and your progress toward finding your own passion will yield more than personal advancement. We believe that

13、 as you become members of our community of scholars, you will soon come to recognize that with the abundant opportunities for self-enrichment provided by the university, there also come responsibilities. A wise man said: "Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generatio

14、n to another." You are the inheritors of the hard work of your families and the hard work of many countless others who came before you. They built and transmitted the knowledge you will need to succeed. Now it is your turn. What knowledge will you acquire? What passions will you discover? What

15、will you do to build a strong and prosperous future for the generations that will come after you?8 We take great pleasure in opening the door to this great step in your journey. We take delight in the many opportunities which you will find, and in the responsibilities that you will carry as citizens

16、 of your communities, your country, and the world.

For us, this part is bittersweet. As you go off to college, exciti

22、ng new worlds will open up to you. They will inspire and challenge you; you will grow in incredible ways.2 This is also a moment of sadness. Your departure to college makes it undeniably clear that you are no longer a child. There has been no greater joy than watching you arrive at this moment. You

23、have turned our greatest challenge into our greatest pride. Although we have brought you to this point, it is hard to watch you depart. Remember above all things, we will miss you.3 College will be the most important time of your life. It is here that you will truly discover what learning is about.

24、You often ask, "Why do I need to know this?" I encourage you to stay inquisitive, but remember this: "Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school." What you learn is not as important as the fact that you learn. This is the heart of scholarshi

25、p: moving from teacher-taught to master-inspired, on over to the point where you become a self-learner. So, take each subject seriously, and if something doesn't immediately engage you, don't despair. Embrace it as a challenge. Find a way to make it your own.4 Of course, you must still take

26、care to sign up for courses which stimulate your passionyou reyour intellectual capacity. Don't be bound by what other people think. Steve Jobs said, when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. So, don't worry too much about what

27、 job you will have; don't be too practical. If you like French or Korean, study it even if someone else tells you that it's not useful. Enjoy picking your "dots". Be assured that one day, you will find your own meaningful career, and you will connect a beautiful curve through those

28、 dots.5 You know that we always want you to do your best, but don't let the pressure of grades get to you. We care only that you try your very best, and that you learn. It is better that your greatest effort earns a lesser grade than that no effort earns you a decent or higher grade. Grades in t

29、he end are simply letters fit to give the vain something to boast about, and the lazy something to fear. You are too good to be either. The reward is not the grade but what you learn.6 More importantly, make friends and trust others. The friends you make in college can be the best ones you will ever

30、 have. During these years, when you move into adulthood, the friends you make in college live closer to you than your family. You will form bonds of friendship that will blossom over many decades. Pick friends who are genuine and sincere. Select a few and become truly close to them. Don't worry

31、about their hobbies, grades, or looks. Instead, trust your instincts when you make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person; anyone would enjoy your friendship. So be confident, secure, and proactive. If you think you like someone, tell them. You have very little to lose. Don't be afrai

32、d to trust. Give others the benefit of the doubt, and don't reduce anyone to stereotypes. Nobody is perfect; as long as others are genuine, trust them and be good to them. They will give back.7 Remember also that your youth is full of strength and beauty, something that you will not comprehend u

33、ntil it is gone. You must guard and cultivate your strength and beauty. A healthy body and a sound mind are the greatest instruments you will ever possess. Enjoy life. Dance if you feel like it. Don't be afraid of what other people think. But also keep yourself safe and sound. Don't let the

34、range of new experiences take your innocence, health, or curiosity away from you. Treasure your youth and the university experience before you.8 College is the time when you have: the first taste of independence, the greatest amount of free time, the most flexibility to change, the lowest cost for m

35、aking mistakes.9 Approach these years enthusiastically! Make the most of your time. Become the great thinker you were born to be. Let your talents evolve to their fullest potential. Be bold! Experiment! Learn and grow! We are enormously proud that you've made it this far, and we can't wait t

36、o see what you will become.Your fatherUnit 2 Loving parents, loving childrenText A A child s clutter awaits an adult s return1 I watch her back her new truck out of the driveway. The vehicle is too large, too expensive. She'd refused to consider a practical car with good gasefficiency and easy t

37、o park. It's because of me, I think. She bought it to show me that she could.2 "I'm 18," she'd told me so often that my teeth ached. "I am an adult!"3 I thought, is that true? Just yesterday you watched some cartoons. What changed between yesterday and today?4 Today s

38、he's gone, off to be an adult far away from me. I'm glad she's gone. It means she made it, and that I'm finally free of 18 years of responsibilities. And yet I wonder if she could take good care of herself.5 She left a mess. Her bathroom is anembarrassment of damp towels, rusted shav

39、ingblades, hair in the sink, and nearly empty tubes oftoothpaste. I bring a box of big black garbage bags upstairs. Eye shadow, face cream, nail polish all go into the trash. Idump drawers, sweep shelves clear and clean the sink. When I am finished, it is as neat and impersonal as a hotel bathroom.6

40、 In her bedroom I findmismatched socks under her bed and purple pants on the closet floor. Desk drawers are filed with school papers, field by year and subject. I catch myself reading through poems and essays, admiring high scores on tests and reading her name, printed or typed neatly in the upper r

41、ight-hand corner of each paper. I pack the desk contents into a box. Six months, I think. I will give her six months to collect her belongings, and then I will throw them all away. That is fair. Grown-ups pay for storage.7 I have to pause at the books. Comic books, teenfiction, romantic novels,histo

42、rical novels, and textbooks. A lifetime of reading; each bookbeloved. I want to be practical, to stuff them in paper sacks for the used bookstore. But I love books as much as she does, so I stack them onto a single bookshelf to deal with later.8 I go for her clothes. Dresses, sweaters, and shoes she

43、 hasn't worn since seventh grade are placed into garbage bags. I am a plague of locusts emptying the closet. Two piles grow to clumsyheights: one for charity, the other trash.9 There are more shoes, stuffed animals, large and small posters, hair bands, and pink hair curlers. The job grows larger

44、 the longer I am at it. How can one girl collect so much in only 18 years?10 I stuff the garbage bags until the plastic strains. Ihaul them down the stairs, two bags at a time. Donations to charity go into the trunk of my car; trash goes to the curb. I'm earning myself sweat andsore shoulders.11

45、 She left the bedroom aridiculous mess, the comforter on the floor, the sheets tossed aside. Istrip off the comforter, blanket, sheets, and pillows. Once she starts feeding coins into laundry machines, she'll appreciate the years of clean clothes I've provided for free.12 I will turn her roo

46、m into a crafts room. Or create the fancy guest room I've always wanted.13 I turn the bed over. A large brown envelope is marked "DO NOT THROW AW AY." I open it. More papers. I dump the contents onto the floor. There are old family photographs, letters, greeting cards, and love notes f

47、rom us to her. There are comics clipped from newspapers and magazines. Every single item in this envelope has passed from our hands to hers. These are all things that we gave her. Suddenly, I feel very emotional.14 "DO NOT THROW AW AY."15 My kid my clutter bug knows me too well. As I read

48、through the cards and notes, I think maybe the truck wasn't such a bad idea, after all. Maybe it helps her to feel less small in a big world.16 I reverse myself and bring back the garbage bags from the car and the curb. Clothes and shoes go back into the closet. I remake the bed and pile it with

49、 stuffed animals. My husband comes home and calls up the stairs.17 "Just straightening up," I tell him. "Can you find some boxes for her stuff?"18 He brings up boxes from the basement.19 "She left a mess," he says.20 "I don't mind," I reply. Silence.21 The

50、n he says softly, "She's not coming back." I feel my throat tighten at the sadness in his voice. I try hard to keep back my tears.22 My little baby, my dependent child, isn't coming back. But someday my daughter, the independent woman, will return home. Tokens of her childhood will

51、 await her. So will we, with open arms.Text B Time slows down1 "Daddy, let's take a walk."2 It's an April day in Virginia. He nods, puts his hands on the arms of his wheelchair, whispers something that makes little sense. I try to help him up, but he is too heavy andlimp.3 "Co

52、me for a walk, and then I've brought you a surprise."4 The white curtains surge in the breeze.5 Shivering, he complains it's chilly. "It's cold, I'm tired. Can't we go home now?6 Suddenly we're far away in a time long past in part of a harbor I've never seen bef

53、ore. December, Chicago, I'm five, and cold. One glove is lost. My feet are tired. His legs are longer; he strides quickly through melting snow, toward buildings like airplane sheds withimmense doors.7 This is the most exciting place I have ever been. Suddenly my fatigue is gone. I could walk alo

54、ng here forever, at least until I find out how to get aboardone of the boats.8 We slow down our pace. Smaller sheds now. A green diner. Smells of fish and smoke. We enter a little hut. Barrels of salty water, string bags ofshellfish, bundles of fish laid out on ice.9 "Daddy, look at that snake!

55、"10 "No, that's an eel," says Daddy. "Smoked. We'll take a portion home for supper."11 "I certainly won't eat that!"12 "All right," he says, and carries the smelly package. As we walk back, he tells me aboutmigrations of eels to the Sargasso S

56、ea: how eels come down Dalmatian rivers and swim across the Mediterranean and then the whole Atlantic, until they reach the warm Sargasso Sea. Here they lay their eggs, and then the baby eels swim back to the native rivers of their parents.13 Back at last in the apartment, he unwraps the eel, opens

57、his pocket knife and slices carefully.14 "I won't eat it," I saysuspiciously.15 "Try one bite, just for me."16 "I won't like it."17 While he hangs up our coats, I test one pinch. Smelly, smoky, and salty.18 He goes into the kitchen to heat milk for me and tea fo

58、r himself. I test another pinch. Then another. He returns with the steaming cups.19 The eel has vanished.20 Because it is Sunday and I am five, he forgives me. Time slows down and the love flows in father to daughter and back again.21 At 19, I fly out to Japan. My father and I climb Mount Fuji. High

59、 above the Pacific, and hours up the slope, we picnic on dried eel, seaweed crackers, and cold rice wrapped in the eel skin. He reaches thepeak first.22 As the years stretch, we walk along waterways all over the world. With his long stride, he often overtakes me. I've never known anyone with suc

60、h energy.23 Some days, time flies with joy all around. Other days, time rots like old fish.24 Today in the nursing home in Virginia, anticipating his reluctance, I beg boldly and encourage him, "Please, Daddy, just a little walk.You are supposed to exercise."25 He can't get out of his chair. Not that he often gets up on his own, but once in a while he'll suddenly have a surge of strength. I stoop to l
