38、大城市的嘈杂生活感到厌倦,因此,决定在一个小镇落户,那里安静宜人。现在我们的生活很好,因为这地方方便,办点儿事步行去就行。我经常四处走走,心情好的时候,在咖啡店歇一下,喝杯饮料,或在洲际戏院停住脚步,看一场戏。但是,有些人似乎不理解我的怪癖行为。我喜欢尽可能地多走路,这是大部分人所不能理解的,因为他们太过于依赖车子了。有时,几乎到了荒唐滑稽的程度,即使只是 10 分钟步行的路程,他们仍然喜欢驾车。有时,我在独自散步,他们会问我是否需要搭车。但我认为,车子使腿脚功能退化。在这个社会里,多数人占据主导地位。我意识到,我或许是唯一主张短距离步行的人,这也就是我不时地遇到麻烦的原因。比如:许多商店把门

41、 as to manage to have a little fun. You should avoid blaspheming fun or the price of the excess could be the absence of fun no matter how hard you try. So the correct way is to treat fun reverently, so that you may have some fresh fun now and then.有些人认为,生活中乐趣胜过其他一切事情。他们甚至从不考虑严肃的事,不考虑这事是否合乎道德,是否关乎诚信或
42、是否实属必要等(而只关心是否好玩) 。当然,许多事确实有乐趣。全家郊游有乐趣,打场篮球有乐趣,喝着咖啡聊天有乐趣。但是,如果你把找乐子看成生活中必不可少的东西的话,你必然会用越来越刺激的方法来为自己提供乐趣,典型做法是玩儿更险的,要么喝更多酒精。你不应亵渎乐趣,否则,不管你如何努力,就是没有乐趣。这就是“过”的代价。正确的方法是带着一份敬意来看待乐趣,这样,你时常可以感受到一点新鲜的乐趣。Unit 5The results of some surveys conducted in America show that most people tell lies to varying degree
43、s, for various reasons. Sometimes they lie to make others happy. For example, one may pretend to be more positive of a friend or spouse than he or she really is. Sometimes they lie to promote themselves, which is getting popular. Sometimes they lie to avoid hurting others, particularly when the unva
44、rnished truth is perhaps too hard to accept. Some people regard lies as a necessary social lubricant. Anyway, they lie to hide truth. Views on lies vary from person to person. Some people hold that falsehood, even if seemingly harmless, could have some unforeseen consequences. After the initial lie,
45、 one needs to tell more lies to cover up the first one, which may become a heavy mental burden in the end. One philosopher warns that one can put himself on a slippery slope if one lies, as his psychological barriers wear down. But some other people hold that we dont have to avoid all white lies at
46、all cost, for a white lie could be only an exchange of the principle of trust with the principle of caring. What is your view? 美国有调查表明,多数人出于不同的原因、在不同程度上说过谎,有时,他们说谎是为了让别人高兴。比如:装出积极的态度来肯定朋友或配偶,实际上他 / 她内心却没有如此认可。有时,他们说谎是为了提升自己。这种情况现在越来越普遍了。有时,是为了避免伤害别人,当未加粉饰的实情难以接受的时候更是如此。有人则把说谎看作一种必要的社交润滑剂。不管怎么说,说谎都是为
47、了掩饰实情。关于说谎,不同的人有不同的观点。有些人认为,假话,即使是看上去无害的假话,也可能带来预料不到的后果。一个人说了第一个谎话之后,他就需要说更多的谎话来掩饰最初的谎话,最后会变成沉重的精神负担。一位哲学家警告说,如果一个人说谎,他就(等于)把自己置于一个溜滑的斜坡上,因为他的心理障碍减轻了。但是,另一些人则认为,我们不必不惜一切代价去避免所有善意的谎言,因为一个善意的谎言可能仅仅是用牺牲信任而去换取关心和爱护而已。对此你持什么观点呢?Unit 6Poetry is as universal as human language and almost as ancient. In some
48、 ways reading poetry is much like reading fiction: we observe details and language, make connections and inferences, and draw conclusions. And yet there is something different about reading poems. More than fiction, poetry is an art of condensation and implication. We should read a poem more than on
49、ce, for a good poem will not yield its full meaning on a single reading. The best way to read a poem is just the opposite of the best way to read a newspaper. One reads a newspaper as rapidly as he can; one should read a poem as slowly as he can. Why should we read poetry? We think that we may derive pleasures by reading poems. For example, we may find and enjoy the dreaminess of Spenser, the majority of Milton, the natural simplicity of Wordsworth, the melody of Keats and the narrative vigor of Byron, by reading their poetry. In addition, poets make men witty. Th
