The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much
ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the
rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we
had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down
in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough,
thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over,
we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from
the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon
surrendered. 攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。师长命令我

Passage Translation
Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a
job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my
standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a
difference in his chance of success.
I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000
dollars a year in a computer software company. He told me that from his own
experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like
people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much
about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of a chance of
success.常言道，好的开 始是成功的一半。在求职时，求职者事先做好充分的准
备是非常重要的。我认为事先做不做准备显然会影 响求职者的成功机会。
我的一个朋友在一家大型计算机软件公司供职，年薪十万美元左右，他根据自己的经历告诉我说，那些面试未来雇员的具有录用权的人喜欢有充分准备的
人，那些没有在了解未 来雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望。

Passage translation:
For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For
instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like
Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He eas
a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid.
Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny
who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.
What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’
s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.就我来说，我
发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你仅凭外表去判断 诸如爱德华*海德*波顿
这样的人，你就错了。外表上。伯顿像一个表里一致的人。他个子很小，满头白


发，有着一双温和蔚蓝的眼睛，文雅且坦率。然而，他原来却是一个十分的残忍。
他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是，他对伦
尼的死全然冷漠 无情。毫无疑问，他是个铁石心肠的家伙。

Passage Translation
Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce
more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that
happiness lies in working hard and earning well good money.
Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the
same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic
responsibilities.

immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a
minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our
loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.

育子女，承担起家庭责任的负担。
研究表明，工作 狂（workaholism）往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫
使我们长时间辛苦劳作，仅留微乎 其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起，交流感情。
家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡，
