When I was fourteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad (Like many English children, I had often been to France). So when I went to America I thought I would have a nice easy holiday without any language problem.

How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to tell my American friend Danny that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.

“Yes,” I said, “I want to give my friend a ring.”

“Well, that’s nice,” he said, “Are you getting married? But aren’t you too young?”

“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied, “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell him I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?”

“Oh,” he said, “there is a phone downstairs.”

When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.

“Don’t worry,” he said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which Americans use differently in meaning from British people. You’ll soon get used to all the funny things say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other.”

A. have a meal B. buy a map C. call his friend D. find an old man

A. make a telephone call to somebody B. be going to get married

Unit 1 Born to Win

In-Class Reading Born to Win

生 而 成 功

任何事都不可能由别人来教你,只能在别人的帮助下靠自己去发现。

——伽利略

1 每个人生来都是独特的,与众不同的。每个人天生都具有在生活中获得成功的能力。每个正常人都能够看、听、触摸、品尝,并且思考自己的事情。每个人都有自己的潜在特性——他的能力和局限。每个人都能凭自己的本事成为举足轻重、会思考、明事理、富有创造性的人——一个成功的人。

2 “成功者”和“失败者”这两个词有多种意思。当我们把一个人称作成功者时,我们所指的并不是一个通过优势控制他人、令其失败而获得成功的人,而是一个无论作为个体或是社会成员都能够让人信赖并能迅速地采取行动做出真诚回应的人。失败者则是一个未能作出真诚回应的人。

3 很少有人总是成功或总是失败。这(成败)只是一个程度的问题。然而,一个人一旦具备了成为成功者的能力,他获得成功的次数就会更多。

4 对成功者来说成就不是最重要的;最重要的是真诚。真诚的人知道自己的独特之处,也欣赏他人的独特之处。

5 成功者是不怕独立思考并运用自己的知识的人。他能把客观事实与主观意见区分开来,而且不会装作能解决一切问题。他倾听他人、评价他们所说的话,但他会得出自己的结论。 6 成功者能灵活变通。他不会采用已有的、刻板的方式行事。他能根据形势的需要改变自己的计划。成功者热爱生活。他乐于工作、喜爱游玩、享受美食、欣赏他人和自然带来的乐趣。他心安理得地从自己的成就中享受乐趣。他(也)毫无妒忌地欣赏他人的成绩。

7 成功者关心天下,关爱世人。他关注社会上普遍存在的问题,努力提高生活质量。即使面对国内和国际上的难题,他也不会认为自己是无能为力的。他尽己所能使世界变得更美好。 8 尽管人们生来都具有成功的潜质,但也是生来就要完全依赖于所处环境的。成功者会顺利地完成从依赖到独立的转变。失败者则没有做到这一点。在这一过程的某个时候失败者开始回避变得独立,而这种情况通常始于童年时期。营养不良、遭受虐待、不愉快的人际关系、疾病、长期的失望,以及身体上得不到充分的照料等(经历)都会导致人们成为失败者。 9 失败者不善于通过一系列可以采取的行为来恰当地表达自己,这阻碍了他获得成功。如果他所选择的生活道路毫无前途的话,他可能不知道对自己的生活还可以有其他选择。他不敢尝试新事物,他不仅重复自身的错误而且常常重复自己家庭和文化群体的错误。

10 一个失败者很难去爱别人,也很难得到别人的爱。他不和他人建立亲密、真诚、直接的关系。相反,他试图使别人按照他的期望生活,也尽量使自己按他人的期望生活。

After-Class Reading

迟做总比不做好

1 他躺在草丛中,躲在那儿,同时思索着。

2 他研究了这个小女孩的习惯。他知道下午三点左右她会从外祖父的房子里出来玩耍。 3 他为此举痛恨自己。

4 在他悲惨的一生中,他还从来没有考虑过任何像绑架这样冷酷无情的事情。

5 然而此时此刻他却躺在草丛里,被树木遮掩着,房子里的人看不见他。他正等待着一个天真无邪、红头发、两岁大的小女孩向他走近。

6 这是一次漫长的等待;有时间进行思考。

7 可能在哈伦德的一生中,一切都太过匆忙。

8 5岁的时候,他那当农民的山地人父亲就去世了。

9 14岁的时候,他就从格林伍德中学辍学,开始到处流浪。

10 他做过农场的临时工,但他不喜欢那工作。

11 他尝试做过公共汽车的售票员,但也不喜欢那工作。

12 在16岁的时候,他谎报年龄参了军——可他也不喜欢当兵。在一年的服役期满后,他前往阿拉巴马州,在那儿试着做铁匠,但没有成功。

13 (后来)他成了南方铁路公司的铁路机车司炉工。他喜欢那工作,以为自己找到了真正的自我。

14 在18岁的时候,他结了婚。谁知道没几个月,就在他说自己又被解雇了的那一天,他妻子说她怀孕了。

15 接着,有一天,当他外出找工作的时候,他年轻的妻子散尽他们所有的家产回娘家去了。 16 接下来就是经济萧条时期。

17 正如人们所说的那样,哈伦德失去得太多,赢不回来了。

18 他确实努力了。

19 一度,当他在铁路上不断地打各种零工的时候,他尝试过通过函授学习法律。 20 但他也半途而废了。

21 他尝试过卖保险、卖轮胎。

22 他尝试过开渡轮,经营加油站,但都没有用。

23 面对现实吧——哈伦德是一个失败者。

24 他现在正躲在弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克郊外的杂草丛里,筹划一次绑架。

25 就如我所说的,他已经观察过这个小女孩的习惯,知道她下午玩耍的时间。

26 但是,这一天,小女孩却没有出来玩,所以他那失败之链依旧没有中断。

27 在他后来的生活中,他成了科尔宾一家餐馆的主厨和刷瓶工。一切都挺好,直到有一天新的公路绕餐馆而过。

28 这个时候他已经步入晚年。

29 当走到人生的暮年时还没有任何可以称道的事情,他不是第一个,也不是最后一个。 30 预报幸福的蓝色知更鸟,或者其他什么,总是与他擦肩而过。

31 他一直是诚实的——除了那次他曾试图绑架外。为了对他公平起见,有一点必须指出,他是想从他那离家出走的妻子那儿绑架走自己的亲生女儿。

32 不管怎么说,就在第二天,她们又都重新回到了他的身边。

33 但是现在许多年已经过去了,一辈子就要走完,但他和家人还是一无所有。

34 他从未真正感觉到自己老了,直到有一天,邮递员带来了他的第一份社会救济金支票。那一天,哈伦德的内心感到愤恨、抵触,他勃然大怒。

35 政府在可怜他。

36 是放弃和退休的时候了。{timewilltell谚语}.

37 科尔宾餐馆的顾客们说他们会想念他的,但是他的政府却说生日蛋糕上有65支蜡烛已经够多了。他们寄来了退休金的支票,并且说他已经“老了”。

38 他说:“呸!混蛋!”

39 他感到十分愤怒,于是他用这105美元的支票开始了一番新的生意。

40 今天,这份生意仍然兴隆。在他死前的20多年时间里,他一直经营得十分成功。

41 这个事事皆败仅一事成功的人——这个要不是因为失败就成为一个触犯法律的绑架者——这个直到该停止的时候才开始的人——就是哈伦德·桑德斯。

42 这份用他第一笔社会救济金启动的生意就是肯德基炸鸡。接下来的故事你就都知道了。

课内阅读练习答案

Part One Preparation

1. What Does Winning Mean?

STEP ONE

Sample

• Winning means being No. 1 or one of the best in your field.

• Winning means being able to make great contributions to society.

• Winning means being able to overcome great difficulties that others can’t.

• Winning means being successful in business.

• Winning means doing what you enjoy and being good at it.

• Winning means having good health and a happy family.

• Winning means that you can be the kind of person you want to be.

• Winning means being happy and content with your current life.

STEP TWO

Sample

• From the answers we got, we can see that most students think winning doesn’t mean having a lot of money or being someone important. Most students think that winning means being able to do what one is interested in and do it well. What’s more, health and a happy family are also considered very important for a winner.

• According to what we got from our interviewees, the brightest and the best in different fields or professions are winners. Most students admire and respect them very much and hope they can be one of them someday. They feel these people are great contributors to our society, and also the driving force for the development and progress of humanity.

2. Winners in My Eyes

Sample

• I think Helen Keller was a winner. Even though she became blind and deaf at a very early age, she didn’t give up. With the help of her teacher, she too became a teacher, writer and lecturer. She couldn’t see or hear, but she learned to read and write by touch and feel. Helen also learned several foreign languages: French, German, Latin and Greek. She always wanted to try what others could do. What she achieved was really amazing.

• For me, my father is a winner. He was born into a very poor family. He hardly had enough to eat when he was a child. Every week he had to walk 20 kilometers to get to school and another 20 kilometers to go back home. Before long he dropped out because his family could no longer afford

to send him to school, and he had to work in the fields. However, he taught himself and became a teacher of a village school. He was determined to send my brothers and me to school. Now my brothers and I are all studying in national key universities. My father may seem to be a very ordinary person to other people, but to me, he is a real winner. He is a hero in our family.

3. What Accounts for Success?

Sample

• I think intelligence, hard work and luck are the most important things. First you must be intelligent. You won’t be able to succeed if you are unintelligent. But, intelligence alone is not enough. You also need to work hard. Success is something you have to earn painstakingly. Besides intelligence and hard work, luck or opportunity is also indispensable.

For example, some people succeed, but others don’t. This doesn’t mean those who failed didn’t work hard or weren’t intelligent. They just lacked the right opportunity or luck. So, I think in order to succeed, these three elements are important: intelligence, hard work and good luck.

• In my opinion, the most important thing is to be prepared and perseverant. Opportunities favor only those who are prepared. Many people complain that they don’t have the opportunity to succeed. That is not true. Very often they are not ready and don’t see the opportunity, much less seize it. Perseverance is also very important. Once you start something, you shouldn’t give up when you face difficulties. You need to try again and again to find a way to overcome them. There are many stories about how winners persist on the way to success.

• I think dreams and determination to pursue success are two vital factors. When you make up your mind to follow your dreams, you will become very independent and diligent. Physical fitness is also important to success. As the old saying goes, “Health is the capital to do revolutionary work.” You also need support from your family and society. In other words, your family background and social relationships will contribute to your success if you can use them properly. Part Two Reading-Centered Activities
