Unit 1
掌握大量的词汇对于达到一门外语的流利程度是至关重要的。一个非官方的但却 是经常被引用的有关剑桥处级证书
英语考试Cambridge First Certificate examination的数字表明，词汇量少于三千五百词的学生不大可能在这项考试中
成功。最近的 研究也表明，其母语为英语的受教育至18岁或18岁以上的人至少认识一万六千个英语词。除非你已
经 会讲一种像西班牙语或德育这样的语言，要获得打的英语词汇是没有捷径可走的：你就得依靠勤奋和专注，当然，
你可以从上下文猜出你阅读中遇到的一些生词的意思，但往往你得查字典才能搞清他们的确切意思。一个 切实可行
的学习新词的方法或许就是大量阅读，最好是读那些你觉得有趣或刺激的故事。反复阅读同一本 书常常是很有好处
的：你每赌一次都会学到不同的生词，而熟悉的背景又有助于将这些新词牢牢地印在你 的脑海中。
Mastering a large number of words is essential to achieving fluency in a foreign language. An unofficial, but often quoted,
figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words
are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been
educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like
Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and
dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your
reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate
meanings. A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or
exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words,
and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.

Unit 3
如果你着手干一番事业而失败了，不要丧失信心。“我失败了三次”与”我是一个失败者“之间有着 天壤之别。只
要你对自己不持否定的想法，不把自己与失败等同起来，而是试图从失败中吸取教训，你很 可能在未来取得成功。
你可曾想过，那些屡遭失败的人往往是自我形象不佳的牺牲品？他们的失败常常不 是由于外部原因而是内部原因。

能在任何时候到来—三十岁，四十岁，或是在似乎失败了一辈子 以后。早年成功固然甜蜜，但是晚年的成功往往更
有滋味。
If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed
three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to
learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail
repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external
causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive
self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even
after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.

Unit 5
科学家是一小群努力洞悉自然、在 表面的杂乱无序中寻求规律的人。他们具有一种特殊的思考与分析能力，具有无
限的耐心进行观察和收集 数据。但是，并不耍把一切科学发现读归因于能力和耐心，科学发现常常与创造性的想象
力紧密相关。的 确，想象力的飞跃往往是通向发现的第一步，另外，科学家也以其城市而著称。他们非常重视诚实，
主要 是因为诚实对他们的事业只管重要。他们提出的每一个理论都要受到进一步的检验。每一个错误或是谎言必将被发现。因此，如果发现了他们的想法矛盾的证据，科学家不是隐瞒证据。而是修改甚至放弃他们的想法。这 样，

Scientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature, seeking order in seeming disorder. They are
credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data.
But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative
imagination. Indeed a leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. Scientists are also noted for their
honesty. They place a high premium on honesty largely because it is essential to their career. Every theory they formulate
is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore if any evidence is found
contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way they
have built up an immense body of knowledge, which helps us to understand better ourselves and the world around us.
