第一篇:21世纪大学英语第三册课后ReadingAloud整理
Unit 1
A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies.Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid's tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway?
I've tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and homework during my adolescence was a bit out of focus.On the contrary, I hated compulsory education with a passion.I could never quite accept the notion of having to go to school while the fish were biting.Unit 2
Children are entitled to special consideration for two reasons: helplessness and innocence.They have not yet acquired either the faculty of reason or the wisdom of experience.Consequently, they are defenseless(incapable of fending for themselves)and blameless(incapable of real sin).That's why we grant them special protection.In an emergency, it is our duty to save them first because they, helpless, have put their lives in our hands.And in wartime, they are supposed to be protected by special immunity because they can have threatened or offended no one.Unit 3
I sincerely believe that for children, and for parents seeking to guide them, it is not half so important to know as it is to feel.If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow.The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.Once the emotions have been aroused--a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love--then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response.Once found, such knowledge has far more lasting meaning than mere information.It is more important to pave the way for children's desire to know than to put them on a diet of facts they are not ready to assimilate.Unit 4
What I wish for all students is some release from the grim grip of the future.I wish them a chance to enjoy each segment of their education as an experience in itself and not as a tiresome requirement in preparation for the next step.I wish them the right to experiment, to trip and fall, to learn that defeat is as educational as victory and is not the end of the world.My wish, of course, is naive.One of the few rights that America does not proclaim is the right to fail.Achievement is the national god, worshipped in our media — the million-dollar athlete, the wealthy executive — and glorified in our praise of possessions.In the presence of such a potent state religion, the young are growing up old.Unit 5
America can be a strange experience for a foreigner.My wife and I arrived in the United States in January after seven years overseas — four in France, three in Poland.From the jumble of first impressions, we compiled an A-to-Z explanation of why America can be such a foreign country to those who arrive here from Europe.I should explain at the outset that I am from Britain, but my Florida-born wife Lisa is as American as apple pie.In our list, however, A doesn't stand for apple pie.It stands for:
Ambition.In the Old World, people are taught to hide it.Here it's quite proper to announce that you're after the boss's job or want to make a million dollars by the age of 30.
