1、Unit4FreshStartIn-ClassReadingFreshStart新的初步當我父親母親開車離開，留下我可憐巴巴地站在泊車場上時，我開始尋思我在校園里該做什么。我決定我最想做的就是安然無事地回到宿舍。我感覺仿佛校園里的每一個人都在看著我。我拿定想法：豎起耳朵，閉上嘴巴，希望他人不知道我是重生。次日清晨我找到了上第一堂課的教室，大步走了進去。但是，進了教室，我又遇到了一個難題。坐哪兒呢？躊躇一再，我挑了第一排邊上的一個座位?！皻g迎你們來聽生物101課，”教授開始上課。天哪，我還認為這里是文學課呢！我的脖子后邊直冒盜汗，摸出課程表查對了一下教室我走對了教室，卻走錯了教課樓。怎么辦？上課

2、途中就站起來走出去？教授會不會生氣？大家一定會盯著我看。算了吧。我仍是穩坐在坐位上，盡量使自己看起來和生物專業的學生相同仔細。下了課我感覺有點餓，便趕快去自助食堂。我往托盤里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在這時，我無心中踩到了一大灘番茄醬。手中的托盤傾斜了，我失掉了均衡。就在我屁股著地的頃刻間，我看見自己整個人生在眼前一閃而過，而后停止在大學上課的第一天。摔倒后的幾秒鐘里，我想假如沒有人看見我方才的窘相該有多好啊。可是，食堂里全部的學生都站了起來，鼓掌喝彩，我知道他們不單看見了方才的情形，并且下信心要我永久都不會忘記這一幕。接下來的三天里，我單獨品味侮辱，用以充饑的也不過些從宿舍外的售貨機上買來

3、的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感覺自己極需增補一些真實意義上的食品?；蛟S三時節間已經足以讓校園里的人把我忘在腦后了。于是我去了食堂。我好不簡單排隊取了食品，踮腳走到一張桌子前坐下。忽然我聽到一陣熟習的“嘩啦”摔倒聲。仰頭看見一個可憐的家伙遭受了和我相同的命運。當人們開始像對待我那樣鼓掌喝彩的時候，我對他滿懷憐憫。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，雙手緊握高舉在頭頂上，做出成功的姿勢。我猜想他會像我相同溜出食堂，可他卻轉身從頭盛一盤食品。就在那一刻，我意識到我把自己看得太重了。我能否摔了個托盤，坐在教室的哪個地點，甚至能否走錯了教室，有誰會在意呢？沒有人在意。這不像在中學。在大學里，這些都沒關緊急。我完整能夠按自

4、己的意向行事。一旦意識到我不用考慮他人的希望，只需自己滿意就行，我感覺豁然。我開始把大學看作一個美好的實驗。我稍稍改變了自己的衣著，開始賞識爵士樂，還認定自己喜愛光著腳走路。在接下來的大學生活里，我不再試圖做出什么姿態，而是自然而然。大學，在我看來，或許是獨一一個出錯誤能夠獲得完整體諒的階段（包含踩到番茄醬，摔了托盤）。于是，我利用這個時機來體驗我認為自己可能會犯的全部過錯。大學畢業已經三年了，我仍舊時有過錯。此中的一些過錯我甚至仍是獲得了諒解。After-ClassReadingCollege-aNewBeginning大學一個新的初步“今日上午早些時候，我與一位同事通電話。他告訴我，今日我

5、不用到辦公室來，由于正是重生入學的時候，校園里全部都亂套了。他說得沒錯。真的是一團糟。校園里有數百輛車，載著汗出如漿的重生、他們的家人、還有很多行李。父親母親們為何時候泊車、在哪里泊車、能否要泊車爭吵不斷。校警全力以赴指揮交通，可是他們知道，今日不得不同意人們違犯一些規則了。這是一年中最慌亂的日子，這一點毫無疑問。這也是我最喜愛的日子。”這是夏洛特J.帕特森在迎新致辭中的開場白。作為弗吉尼亞大學的一位心理學教授，帕特森對重生如數家珍：她認識他們的希望、夢想和顧忌。在開學的這天成為大學一年級學買賣味著什么？帕特森教授認為它意味著一個嶄新的初步。她接著說：“它使我想起了積雪融化的初春節氣。你不論踩

6、到哪里都會濺起水花。但即即是又冷又濕，我也沒法使自己惱恨那些日子，由于它們明示著春季的到臨。重生的到來讓學校變得一團糟，但我相同沒法厭煩這件事。重生到達鎮上，就像綠色的新芽從四周冒出來，找尋陽光。當他們從宿舍的窗戶里探出頭來時，就仿佛古老的大樹上綻出的新芽。或許有人會擔憂陽光能否充分，土壤能否肥沃，霜凍能否降臨，可是關于幼苗和大學重生來說，能夠存活，能夠跨進大學的校門，就足夠了?！笆堑?，今日是重生活的開始。昨天你們仍是媽媽的孩子，住在家里；今日，你們已經是大學的重生，開始獨立生活了。重生！我喜愛這個稱號。這個稱呼自己讓人想到一個問題。我們在讀這個詞時，應當把重音放在新上呢，還是放在生上？怎么讀

7、都能夠。不論你把成年看作是人生的一段旅途仍是新起點的到來，今日無疑是你們人生道路上的一大步。重生的歡欣和重生的憂慮都掛在我四周每一張年青的臉上?！按髮W是令人激動的時期，或許仍是你一世中最高興的光陰，但同時也是進行很多重要調整和經歷一些挫敗的時期。此刻，大部分研究領域的競爭都已經特別強烈了。你們一定努力學習，做好充分準備，才能進入這些領域。信息爆炸對想要汲取全部信息的人提出了更高的要求。所以，對大學生活來說，愈來愈需要有一個安排更合理的初步。此刻，學校里針對重生的課程愈來愈受歡迎。作為重生，你們應當選修一些這樣的課程，它們能幫助你們為未來學習難度更大的課程做準備。你們應當保證自己能夠提升讀、寫、

8、說等各方面的能力，不要害怕那些迫使你思慮的課程。思慮能夠令人喜悅并且大有裨益。同時，花一些時間享受生活放松一下，注意飲食，笑口常開。讓大學生活如你所愿，成為美好而有價值的經歷。祝大家好運！”課內閱讀練習答案PartOnePreparation1TalkingAboutHighSchoolClassmatesSample?Amongthe54studentsinmyhighschoolclass,Imtheonlyoneenrolledinanationalkeyuniversity.Thereare14otherswhowereacceptedbyprovincialuniversitieso
