Unit 3

Why I Chose to Attend College

As my high school years were drawing to a close, I turned over and over again in my mind the question of whether I should go to college.At times I did have some

doubts.After careful consideration, however, I finally decided it would be worthwhile.My main reason was simply that I was eager for knowledge and wanted to keep on learning.While getting through high school, I became more and more interested in such subjects as math, physics and chemistry, and thirsted to explore them further.I also chose to go to college because I knew a college education would provide me with opportunities for all-round development.I could play in musical groups, take part in sports, and join campus organizations.Involvement in various kinds of activities would help make me into a well-rounded person.A further factor was my awareness that in today's world many professions require years of specialized training.Being without a college education would have made it more difficult to obtain a desirable position.As I proceed further through college, I seem to have more and more reasons to congratulate myself on having made the right decision.Unit 4

In a recent poll taken by “the Herald of the Town”, 72 percent of the residents interviewed said the city government could do more for homeless people.And 65 percent said the city was paying too little attention to the needs of the blacks and other minority groups.Asked about the suggestion of building more soup kitchens and nursing homes for the homeless and the old people, 77 percent thought it a good idea, 14 percent said it was foolish and 9 percent gave no comments.38 percent considered crime as the worst problem facing the city, while 25 percent and 37 percent perceived unemployment or pollution as the worst one respectively.Job training for young

people was chosen as the best way to reduce crime(63 percent).After that, in order of

percentage, came citizens' neighborhood patrols(23 percent), more police on foot(10 percent)and the death penalty(4 percent).Unit 5

It was Mother's Day.Susan asked her father and brother to think of something special they could do for the occasion.Her father came up with the idea of surprising the children's mother with a barbecue, the first of the year.The children agreed that it was a wonderful idea and they all set about preparing for the barbecue.The first thing they had to do was to get the biggest steaks they could find.By the time they were ready to start the fire it was getting dark.And to their disappointment, there was not a single briquette left from the previous year.In the end they had to ask for some from neighbours, disturbing the television viewing of a couple living nearby.Unit6

One Sunday afternoon Peter was reading the newspaper when Tom, his little son of six years, rushed into the room crying bitterly, his left eye black and bruised.“What's the matter? Who hit you on the eye, Tom?” the father asked.“Steve, the big boy on Quail Street...” the son cried all the more bitterly, pointing outside with his finger.In a rage, Peter jumped out of the armchair and dashed out, clenching his fists.Hardly had Steve uttered a word when Peter smashed his fist into his face.Totally unprepared, Steve was knocked down to the ground.However, he regained his feet quickly and hit back so hard that Peter got a black eye too.Seeing he had had his revenge, Steve lost no time running away.Peter had to walk home completely defeated.Back in the room he was seated in the armchair, looking quite upset and depressed.Unit 7

Dear Pearl,Susan of Rockford is coming to stay with me for a few days.She and I are hoping you can come to dinner here on Friday the eighth at seven o'clock.Yours, Mary Dear Mary, Many thanks for your invitation.I'll be delighted to have dinner with you on Friday at seven o'clock and see Susan again.Yours, Pearl Dear Mary, You cannot imagine my disappointment at not being able to come to dinner with you and see Susan again.Little Tom is running a high fever and needs constant care, so it is quite impossible for me to come.But thank you so much for your kind invitation.Sincerely,Pearl

Unit 8

How to Attain Our Goals in Life

As a sailing ship has a certain destination, so we must have a definite goal in our life.To succeed in life, a man must learn to develop such qualities in himself as industry, persistence, confidence, and strong willpower.Here I would like to dwell a little on the first two.Undoubtedly, hard work is the key to success.Take Peter G.Beidler for example.Having chosen teaching as his career, Professor Beidler made a great effort to meet the challenges of the profession.Day after day he stayed up late preparing his lectures, even when his eyes became swollen for lack of sleep.His subsequent success as a teacher was borne out by the fact that he was named The Professor of the Year in 1983.Obviously his success has had a great deal to do with hard work.Persistence is another important factor leading to the realization of one's goal in life.Once we have set a goal for ourselves, we must not depart from our course until we reach it.The mother in Unit 5 is a case in point.She refused to give up in the face of all the challenges in life.Instead, she persisted in improving herself.In the end, she became a reporter with a local newspaper.Clearly persistence helped to make her dream come true.

第四篇：大学英语精读Book1

《诚信与和谐》

广义上的和谐社会建设是指经济、政治、文化、社会四个方面协调发展、良性运行。狭义上的和谐社会建设主要是指社会关系的和谐。无论是广义上的和谐社会建设还是狭义上的和谐社会建设，诚信都是各种经济、政治、社会关系协调发展、良性运行的基础。对社会成员来讲，它是构建和谐人际关系的基本素质；对全社会来讲，它是社会良性运行的价值取向；对市场来讲，诚信是规范经济秩序、建立市场信用制度的道德保障；对政府来讲，诚信是实现执政为民、立党为公的有效途径。

一、诚信是社会人际关系和谐的重要准则

人际关系的和谐是和谐社会建设的重要内容。诚信友爱是人际关系和各种社会关系和谐的灵魂。中国的传统文化充分重视诚信在人际关系中的价值。诚信，包括两方面的含义，“诚”即真实不欺，既不自欺，也不欺人。朱熹云：“诚者何？不自欺，不忘之谓也”，“诚意，只是表里如一”。一个人只有做到表里如一，以诚相待，才能达到人内心的和谐和人际关系的和谐。否则，欺名盗世，自欺欺人，会导致个人内心的失调和人格的分裂，人际关系紧张，失去友情，成为孤家寡人。“信”，主要指在与他人交往中应讲信用，遵守诺言。孔子极为重信，他强调做人要“言必信，信必果”、“与朋友交，言而有信”、“言而无信，不知其可也“。人若不讲信用，就无法做人行事。在诚与信的关系中，诚是信产生的基础和原因，自己以诚待人，必然获得他人的信任。同时，信是诚的具体表现，信体现诚。在社会中生活，只有将自己的真实展示给他人，才能够嬴得他人的信任，才能够彼此信任。人们彼此信任才能够真诚地进行合作。个人在人际交往中讲诚信，就会形成人际关系的良性循环，正如管仲云：“信也者，民信之”。然而，当前我国社会个人的诚信缺位表现在：借钱不还、伪造学历和文凭、伪造票据和证件，剽窃他人学术成果，欺诈他人以谋取私利等等，这将影响人与人之间关系的和谐，影响社会公平的实现。因此，在全社会中，加强诚实守信的公民道德教育，是构建和谐社会的重要内容。因为人际信任能增强全社会的凝聚力，促进社会关系的和谐，保障社会的长治久安。

二、诚信是建立市场信用制度的道德保障

诚信一直是我国社会所推崇的优良品格之一，在当代，我们赋予诚信以更多的经济性的内容。因为，市场经济条件下,诚信既是道德资源, 又是经济资源。随着社会分工的细化和交换方式的发展,诚信也从道德追求进入到物质生活领域。也就是说，诚信社会的形成，其中极为重要的一方面是诚信经济的形成。所谓诚信经济是指诚信作为一种资本（即信用资本）来参与市场运作的经济，当诚信资本能成功地实现其价值增殖时，诚信经济即告产生。这种诚信理念推动了经济发展和社会进步。

我国社会主义市场经济的建立加快了我国经济发展的速度和激发了人们走向富裕的动力，但是另一方面经济主体的利益的多元化现象也日趋复杂，这些经济利益主体，在市场经济体制下，无论是企业，还是个人，很显然他们从事经济活动的根本目的，就是尽可能多地获取经济上的利益。因此，导致物质主义、拜金主义在一定程度的盛行，人际互信互助的关系淡化，利益关系凸现，由此造成诚信问题，一些欺诈失信的行为时有发生，其主要表现为：企业产品的假冒伪劣、掺杂使假、坑蒙拐骗、偷税漏税、三角债纠纷、财务假账、伪造票据、金融诈骗、虚假广告、假烟、假酒、假药、假化肥、假种子、假币、有毒大米、黑心棉等等。这类似于资本主义原始积累时期曾经出现过的状况，严重扰乱正常经济秩序、损害了社会公

平和社会信任，使社会矛盾和社会冲突滋生。破坏了信用关系, 就会动摇市场经济的基础, 就会带来经济秩序的混乱。

诚信，就其作为社会的道德规范和个人的道德品质而言，既是整个社会的信用制度对个人的道德要求的反映，也是社会信用制度在个人身上个性化的发展，每个社会成员的诚信品质，组成了社会信用制度的道德保障。讲诚信则促进市场经济的发展，失信则自然会阻碍市场经济的发展。信用一旦发生危机，不仅会导致整个经济体系出现危机，而且严重影响社会主义和谐社会的建设。只有市场主体都能自觉维护其信用制度，才能保证信用关系的稳定性，减少信用风险。在此意义上可以说没有诚信原则就没有市场经济秩序，就没有市场经济效益，也就没有市场经转载请注明出处，谢谢！
