21世紀大學英語讀寫教程第5單元課文詳解第四冊1

　　Malcolm X

　　Many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television, or those who read something I've said, will think I went to school far beyond the eighth grade. This impression is due entirely to my prison studies.

　　It had really begun back in the Charlestown Prison, when Bimbi first made me feel envy of his stock of knowledge. Bimbi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I had tried to emulate him. But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn't contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have been in Chinese. When I just skipped those words, of course, I really ended up with little idea of what the book said. So I had come to the Norfolk Prison Colony still going through only book-reading motions. Pretty soon, I would have quit even these motions, unless I had received the motivation that I did.

　　I saw that the best thing I could do was get hold of a dictionary—to study, to learn some words. I was lucky enough to reason also that I should try to improve my penmanship. It was sad. I couldn't even write in a straight line. It was both ideas together that moved me to request a dictionary along with some tablets and pencils from the Norfolk Prison Colony school.

　　I spent two days just thumbing uncertainly through the dictionary's pages. I've never realized so many words existed! I didn't know which words I needed to learn. Finally, to start some kind of action, I began copying.

　　In my slow, painstaking, ragged handwriting, I copied into my tablet everything printed on that first page, down to the punctuation marks.

　　I believe it took me a day. Then, aloud, I read back, to myself, everything I've written on the tablet. Over and over, aloud, to myself, I read my own handwriting.

　　I woke up the next morning, thinking about those words—immensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one time, but I've written words that I never knew were in the world. Moreover, with a little effort, I also could remember what many of these words meant. I reviewed the words whose meanings I didn't remember. Funny thing, from the dictionary's first page right now, that "aardvark" springs to my mind. The dictionary had a picture of it, a long-tailed, long-eared, burrowing African mammal, which lives off termites caught by sticking out its tongue as an anteater does for ants.

　　I was so fascinated that I went on—I copied the dictionary's next page. And the same experience came when I studied that. With every succeeding page, I also learned of people and places and events from history. Actually the dictionary is like a miniature encyclopedia. Finally the dictionary's A section had filled a whole tablet—and I went on into the B's. That was the way I started copying what eventually became the entire dictionary. I went a lot faster after so much practice helped me to pick up handwriting speed. Between what I wrote in my tablet, and writing letters, during the rest of my time in prison I would guess I wrote a million words.

　　I suppose it was inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first time pick up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying. Anyone who has read a great deal can imagine the new world that opened. Let me tell you something; from then until I left that prison, in every free moment I had, if I was not reading in the library, I was reading on my bunk. You couldn't have got me out of books with a wedge. Between Mr. Muhammad's teachings, my correspondence, my visitors, and my reading of books, months passed without my even thinking about being imprisoned. In fact, up to then, I never had been so truly free in my life...

　　As you can imagine, especially in a prison where there was heavy emphasis on rehabilitation, an inmate was smiled upon if he demonstrated an unusually intense interest in books. There was a sizable number of well-read inmates, especially the popular debaters. Some were said by many to be practically walking encyclopedias. They were almost celebrities. No university would ask any student to devour literature as I did when this new world opened to me, of being able to read and understand.

　　I read more in my room than in the library itself. An inmate who was known to read a lot could check out more than the permitted maximum number of books. I preferred reading in the total isolation of my own room.

　　When I had progressed to really serious reading, every night at about ten p.m. I would be outraged with the "lights out." It always seemed to catch me right in the middle of something engrossing.

　　Fortunately, right outside my door was a corridor light that cast a glow into my room. The glow was enough to read by, once my eyes adjusted to it. So when "lights out" came, I would sit on the floor where I could continue reading in that glow.

　　At one-hour intervals the night guards paced past every room. Each time I heard the approaching footsteps, I jumped into bed and feigned sleep. And as soon as the guard passed, I got back out of bed onto the floor area of that light-glow, where I would read for another fifty-eight minutes—until the guard approached again. That went on until three or four every morning. Three or four hours of sleep a night was enough for me. Often in the years in the streets I had slept less than that.

　　I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive. I certainly wasn't seeking any degree, the way a college confers a status symbol upon its students. My homemade education gave me, with every additional book that I read, a little bit more sensitivity to the deafness, dumbness, and blindness that was afflicting the black race in America. Not long ago, an English writer telephoned me from London, asking questions. One was, "What's your alma mater?" I told him, "Books." You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I'm not studying something I feel might be able to help the black man...

　　Every time I catch a plane, I have with me a book that I want to read—and that's a lot of books these days. If I weren't out here every day battling the white man, I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity—because you can hardly mention anything I'm not curious about. I don't think anybody ever got more out of going to prison than I did. In fact, prison enabled me to study far more intensively than I would have if my life had gone differently and I had attended some college. I imagine that one of the biggest troubles with colleges is there are too many distractions. Where else but in prison could I have attacked my ignorance by being able to study intensely sometimes as much as fifteen hours a day?

　　我喜歡動物 勞拉·A·莫雷蒂

　　“你覺得你為什么這么喜歡動物呢?”這是圣誕夜我的家人問我的問題。我知道他們期待我會說些諸如“我喜歡動物是因為它們聰明、好玩”之類的話。

　　可是我卻說：“我喜歡動物，因為它們誠實。”

　　“在哪方面呢?”我的一個兄弟問道——似乎誠實僅僅表現(xiàn)在說實話，而眾所周知動物是不會說話的!他的問題引來一陣開懷大笑。

　　“我喜歡動物，因為它們從不假裝成別人，”我繼續(xù)我的回答，“動物不會偽造感情�！�

　　圣誕晚餐吃過了，禮物也打開了，我們正坐在沙發(fā)和扶手椅上�？Х日�端上來，于是我抓緊機會繼續(xù)說。

　　“我喜歡動物，因為它們從生活中只索取它們需要的東西。它們不糟蹋環(huán)境，不污染水和它們所呼吸的空氣。它們不生產(chǎn)大規(guī)模殺傷性武器，然后用這些武器去攻擊別人——尤其是它們的同類。我喜歡動物因為它們根本不需要那些東西�！�

　　“那是因為它們無知，”我的姐姐爭論道,“它們不做這些事是因為它們根本不知道怎么做�！�

　　獅子們不會聚在一起，”我反擊道,“來商議如何**斑馬——即它們的食物來源。我想這并不是因為它們不知道怎么做，而是因為這么做會適得其反�！�

　　他們笑了。

　　“我喜歡動物，”我繼續(xù)道，“還因為它們不留戀過去的.東西，也不把過去的東西用作現(xiàn)在行為的借口。它們不去計劃未來的生活，它們只活在今天，這一刻，充實地，完全地，單純地活著。我喜歡動物因為它們比人類活得**得多�！�

　　“那是因為它們不會思考,”我的一個表親說。

　　“這就是差別之所在嗎?”我感到疑惑。“你是想說它們不以我們的方式思考吧�！�

　　屋里變得異常安靜。我很驚訝我的家人竟聽得如此專注。

　　“還有，”我想起了自己成為保護動物權(quán)益積極分子的原因，隨即補充道，“動物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于兒童，甚于婦女，甚于有色人種。偏見使我們?nèi)�剝削、利用它們，把它們當作科研工具和可消耗的商品，還去吃它們。我們把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它們身上。我喜歡動物，因為它們不對自己或別人做那些我們對它們做的事情�！�

　　“最后，”我總結(jié)道，“我喜歡動物，因為它們不是***。它們不會說的是一套，做的是另一套。它們，我已經(jīng)說了，是誠實的。動物——而不是人——才是地球奉獻出的最佳一族。”

　　相當有趣的是，盡管我的話十分率直，卻沒有招來他們惡意的評論或絲毫的嘲笑。事實上，接下去的談話變成了分享他們所知的動物故事，有關(guān)于動物的忠誠和靈性的故事，也有關(guān)于它們的幽默和純真的故事。而我反倒成了聽眾，只偶爾發(fā)表一下評論：

　　“噯，但愿人能像動物一樣就好了�！�

　　我就這樣進行了一場出色的論戰(zhàn);我是**著我們中間最棒的一個群體上陣的。

　　馬的意識——威廉?馮?奧斯頓試圖教馬數(shù)數(shù) 魯絲?多爾夫曼

　　馬會不會加減乘除?當然不會!但是在1900年，馮?奧斯頓可不同意你的意見。馮?奧斯頓是位德國教師，他試圖證明動物和人一樣聰明。

　　他收了一只熊、一只貓和一匹馬作學生，開始教他們算術(shù)或?qū)崝?shù)。熊和貓很快失去了興趣，然而馬卻沒有。

　　事實上，這匹名叫聰明的漢斯的馬是一名優(yōu)秀的學生。每堂課他都靜靜地站在那里，面對著老師。為了確保漢斯專心聽講，馮?奧斯頓在它眼睛的兩側(cè)安**遮擋物。這些“障眼物”迫使?jié)h斯正視老師�？磥頉]有什么能讓他分神了。

　　馮·奧斯頓用撞柱游戲中的9個小瓶柱來教漢斯1到9的數(shù)字。他排出4根小柱，問道：“有幾根小柱子啊?”

　　“嗒，嗒，嗒，嗒，”漢斯敲著前蹄回答。

　　馮·奧斯頓用寫在黑板上的數(shù)字代替九柱后，漢斯依然學得很快，他仍舊能答對問他的大多數(shù)問題。這只令人驚訝的動物甚至學會了認鐘點和算某些數(shù)的*方根!不久，聰明的漢斯贏得了全世界的稱贊。之前可從來沒有動物進行過數(shù)學思維!

　　然而，有些數(shù)學家懷疑有詐。馮?奧斯頓是不是在給漢斯提示呢?讓一匹馬做如此復雜的數(shù)學計算似乎是不可能的!不過，當數(shù)學家們測試漢斯時，他們大為驚訝。測驗結(jié)果表明，漢斯的能力竟達到了一個14歲學生的水*!

　　盡管如此，仍有科學家表示懷疑。他們組成一個小組重新對漢斯進行測試。小組中的一名心理學家***.馮斯特想到一個主意。為什么不單獨測試漢斯呢?這樣一來，當然不可能有人給他提示了。

　　不出馮斯特所料，漢斯沒能通過測驗。這是因為漢斯需要房間里有個知道正確答案的人，可是那個知道答案的人并不知道自己在提示漢斯!當漢斯接近正確答案時，那人的身體就會發(fā)生一些變化，而這些變化只有漢斯能察覺到。即使是心跳加速也可能成為讓漢斯開始敲擊蹄子的信號!

　　毫無疑問，馮·奧斯頓發(fā)現(xiàn)漢斯從來不懂數(shù)學時他很是失望。不過話說回來，漢斯的的確確是匹非常聰明的馬!

　　Bob Greene

　　The restaurant was almost full. A steady hum of conversation hung over the room; people spoke with each other and worked on their meals.

　　Suddenly, from a table near the center of the room, came a screaming voice: "Damn it, Sylvia...."

　　The man was shouting at the top of his voice. His face was red, and he yelled at the woman sitting opposite him for about fifteen seconds. In the crowded restaurant, it seemed like an hour. All other conversations in the room stopped, and everyone looked at the man. He must have realized this, because just as suddenly as he had started, he lowered his voice and finished whatever it was he had to say in a tone the rest of us could not hear.

　　It was startling precisely because it almost never happens; there are no laws against such explosions, and with the pressures of our modern world you would almost expect to run into such things on a regular basis. But you don't; as a matter of fact, when I thought it over I realized that it was the first time in my life I had witnessed such a demonstration. During all the meals I've had in restaurants, I had never seen a person start screaming at the top of his lungs.

　　When you're eating among other people, you don't raise your voice; it's just one example of the unwritten rules we live by. When you consider it, you recognize that those rules probably govern our lives on a more absolute basis than the ones you could find if you looked in the law books. The customs that govern us are what make a civilization. There would be chaos without them, and yet it's not at all clear why — even in our disintegrating society — we obey them.

　　How many times have you stopped at a red light late at night? You can see in all directions; there's no one else around — no headlights, no police cruiser idling behind you. You're tired and in a hurry. But you wait for the light to change. Is it for safety's sake? No; you can see that there would be no accident if you drove on. Is it to avoid getting arrested? No; you are alone; there's no one to catch you. Still, you sit and wait.

　　At major athletic events, it is not uncommon to find 90,000 or 100,000 people sitting in the stands. On the playing field are two dozen athletes —maybe fewer. There aren't enough security guards on hand to keep all the spectators from getting out of their seats and walking onto the field. But it never happens. Regardless of the emotion of the contest, the spectators stay in their places, and the athletes are safe in their part of the arena. The invisible barrier always holds.

　　In restaurants and coffee shops, people pay their bills. It's a simple enough concept. Yet it would be remarkably easy to wander away from a meal without paying at the end. Especially in these difficult economic times, wouldn't you expect this to become a common form of cheating? Why doesn't it happen more often? It's just another unwritten rule of human conduct that people automatically make good on their debts. They would no sooner walk out on a bill than start screaming.

　　I know a man who, when he parks his car at a parking meter, always puts change in the meter even if there's time left on it. He regards it as the right thing to do. He says he isn't doing it just to extend the time remaining—even if there's sufficient time on the meter to cover whatever task he has to perform at the location, he pays his own way. He believes that you're supposed to purchase your own time; the fellow before you purchased only his.

　　There are so many rules like these—rules that we all obey—that we think about them only when that rare person violates them. In the restaurant, after the man had yelled "Damn it, Sylvia" there was a tentative atmosphere among the other diners for half an hour after it happened. They weren't sure what disturbed them about what they had witnessed; they knew, though, that it had violated something very basic about the way we're supposed to behave. And it bothered them—which in itself is a hopeful sign that, more often than not, all is well.

21世紀大學英語讀寫教程第一冊課文Foreword1

　　Bill Gates

　　The past twenty years have been an incredible adventure for me. It started on a day when, as a college sophomore, l stood in Harvard Square with my friend Paul Allen and pored over the description of a kit com*r in Popular Electronics magazine. As we read excitedly about the first truly personal com*r, Paul and I didn't know exactly how it would be used, but we were sure it would change us and the world of computing. We were right. The personal com*r revolution happened and it has affected millions of lives. It has led us to places we had barely imagined.

　　We are all beginning another great journey. We aren't sure where this one will lead us either, but again I am certain this revolution will touch even more lives and take us all farther. The major changes coming will be in the way people communicate with each other. The benefits and problems arising from this upcoming communications revolution will be much greater than those brought about by the PC revolution.

　　There is never a reliable map for unexplored territory, but we can learn important lessons from the creation and evolution of the $120-billion personal-com*r industry. The PC — its evolving hardware, business applications, on-line systems. Internet connections, electronic mail, multimedia titles, authoring tools, and games — is the foundation for the next revolution.

　　During the PC industry's infancy, the mass media paid little attention to what was going on in the brand-new business. Those of us who were attracted by com*rs and the possibilities they promised were unnoticed outside our own circles.

　　But this next journey, to the so-called information highway, is the topic of endless newspaper and magazine articles, television and radio broadcasts, conferences, and widespread speculation. There has been an unbelievable amount of interest in this subject during the last few years, both inside and outside the com*r industry. The interest is not confined only to developed countries, and it goes well beyond the large numbers of personal-com*r users.

　　Thousands of informed and uninformed people are now speculating publicly about the information highway. The amount of misunderstanding about the technology and its possible dangers surprises me. Some people think the highway is sim* today's Internet or the delivery of 500 simultaneous channels of television. Others hope or fear it will create com*rs as smart as human beings. Those developments will come, but they are not the highway.

　　The revolution in communications is just beginning. It will take place over several decades, and will be driven by new "applications" — new tools, often meeting currently unforeseen needs. During the next few years, major decisions will have to be made. It is crucial that a broad set of people — not just technologists or those who happen to be in the com*r industry — participate in the debate about how this technology should be shaped. If that can be done, the highway will serve the purposes users want. Then it will gain broad acceptance and become a reality.

　　I'm writing this book The Road Ahead as part of my contribution to the debate and, although it's a tall order, I hope it can serve as a travel guide for the forthcoming journey. I do this with some misgivings. We've all smiled at predictions from the past that look silly today. History is full of now ironic examples — the Oxford professor who in 1878 dismissed the electric light as a gimmick; the commissioner of U.S. patents who in 1899 asked that his office be abolished because "everything that can be invented has been invented." This is meant to be a serious book, although ten years from now it may not appear that way. What I've said that turned out to be right will be considered obvious and what was wrong will be humorous.

　　Anyone expecting an autobiography or a treatise on what it's like to have been as lucky as I have been will be disappointed. Perhaps when I've retired I will get around to writing that book. This book looks primarily to the future.

　　Anyone hoping for a technological treatise will be disappointed, too. Everyone will be touched by the information highway, and everyone ought to be able to understand its implications. That's why my goal from the very beginning was to write a book that as many people as possible could understand.

　　The process of thinking about and writing the present book took longer than I expected. Indeed, estimating the time it would take proved to be as difficult as projecting the development schedule of a major software project. The only part that was easy was the cover photo which we finished well ahead of schedule. I enjoy writing speeches and had thought writing a book would be like writing them. I imagined writing a chapter would be the equivalent of writing a speech. The error in my thinking was similar to the one software developers often run into — a program ten times as long is about one hundred times more complicated to write. I should have known better.

　　And here it is. I hope it stimulates understanding, debate, and creative ideas about how we can take advantage of all that's sure to be happening in the decade ahead.

　　One summer holiday, a teenager volunteered to work in a soup kitchen and got her first big lesson there. What was the lesson she drew from the experience? Let's read the following story.

　　Becoming a Better Person

　　Laura Hennessey

　　In the summer of 1992 I got my first big lesson in community service. I can still remember how I felt the first day of my volunteer assignment. I thought I was one of the most selfless teenagers around, giving a whole month of my precious summer to work in a soup kitchen.

　　At 7 a.m. every morning, I would walk to the bus stop in my suburban neighborhood, board the 67A and settle in for the hour-long ride into, what seemed to be, another world. Goodbye air-conditioning, big grassy yards and pedigree dogs. Hello smelly soup kitchen, sweltering street corners and trash-filled alleyways. I felt like a saint.

　　Two experiences from that month in the soup kitchen still stand out in my mind. One day the kitchen got a huge cardboard box filled with unpeeled baby shrimp. Needless to say, I, with the help of other volunteers, spent the whole morning sorting through and peeling a million little shrimp for the gumbo. I couldn't eat shrimp for years.

　　The second experience was far more influential than the shrimp incident, but it was also much more difficult. Part of our job at the soup kitchen was to come up with activities for the neighborhood kids. We would see the same kids almost every day, so we got to know them quite well. I became particularly fond of a young boy named Bruce.

　　One rainy day Bruce, who was normally very outgoing and laughed easily, sat motionless, all alone at a big table in the corner. We tried to get him to join in the fun with the other kids, but he refused to take part in the silly games. Eventually, I approached him and sat down to talk.

　　"Hi, Bruce. How are you?" No response. "What's wrong, Bruce? Are you sad?"

　　"No."

　　"Are you angry at somebody?"

　　"No."

　　"OK, Bruce. Are you tired?"

　　"No."

　　"Are you sick?"

　　Once again Bruce replied, "No."

　　I was beginning to get a little frustrated and starting to realize that maybe Bruce just wanted to be left alone. But then, he finally filled me in. He said, in his meek voice, "I'm hungry; my mom forgot to feed me."

　　I smiled as my heart simultaneously broke. "Well then, Bruce. Let's find you some food." Then, hand in hand, we went into the kitchen and found the only food that was around that time of day — a couple of doughnuts. Bruce eagerly ate the tasty sweets, and I felt like a hero.

　　When I got off the bus that day I hurried home to fill my mom in on my day. I relayed the story to her in a tone tinged with excitement. Then, slowly, I saw a look of concern and worry spread across my mother's face. She then sat down with me and said, "Laura, that's great that you were there for him today, but you have to realize that it is only one day. What's going to happen tomorrow, or next week or a month from now, when you are no longer there? You really have very little control over this little boy's diet, let alone his life."

　　Her words struck me hard, but in that instant I realized a great many things about what it means to "make a difference." For a brief moment I felt useless, and I wanted to give up my dreams of changing the world for the better. But that moment quickly passed when I realized that giving up my dreams would mean giving up a very important part of myself. Quitting was not an option.

　　It was then that I knew service was going to be a part of my life for the rest of my life. It's not about becoming a saint or a hero. It is about becoming a better person.
