前言

  2004年1月,教育部頒布了《大學英語課程教學要求(試行)》,將大學英語的教學目標確定為“培養(yǎng)學生的英語綜合應用能力,特別是聽說能力,使他們在今后工作和社會交往中能用英語有效地進行口頭和書面的信息交流,同時增強其自主學習能力,提高綜合文化素養(yǎng),以適應我國社會發(fā)展和國際交流的需要”,提出了分層次(即“一般要求”、“較高要求”和“更高要求”)和分類指導的教學要求。與此同時,教育部在全國180所院校開展多媒體網絡教學的試點,推廣具有個性化學習特征的多媒體網絡教學系統(tǒng),并于2005年2月頒布了《全同大學英語四、六級考試改革方案(試行)》,2007年7月又下發(fā)了修訂后的《大學英語課程教學要求》。這些舉措進一步推動了我國高校大學英語教學全方位的改革和教學質量的全面提升。新世紀的教學改革呼喚新的教材不斷誕生。這既是時代的召喚,也是歷史的必然。正是在這樣的時代背景下,上海外語教育出版社于2004年初組織全國數(shù)十所高校啟動了“新世紀大學英語系列教材”建設項目。項目開始之初,外教社以書面問卷、個別訪談和集體座談等形式在全國數(shù)十所高校中進行了廣泛的調查研究,并請專家對編寫方案進行了多次論證。在上海外語教育出版社莊智象社長的直接領導和籌劃下,經過三年多的努力,我們編寫了這套“新世紀大學英語系列教材”,力圖為新世紀形勢下的我國大學英語教材建設作出新的嘗試和努力。經教育部認定,這套教材已被列入“普通高等教育‘十一五’國家級規(guī)劃教材”。在編寫過程中,我們力求體現(xiàn)以下一些編寫理念和特色:(一)堅持人本主義教育觀。在確立“新世紀大學英語系列教材”的指導思想時,我們強調教學過程中的人的因素,強調“以學生為中心”,重視開發(fā)學習者的自我潛能,注重“情感”和“態(tài)度”在學習活動中的作用和力量,力圖使學生成為“自我實現(xiàn)者”。與此同時,我們認為,教師必須在課堂內外發(fā)揮指導作用,指導學生學會學習。(二)尊重外語教學的普遍規(guī)律和在國內學習英語的客觀條件,充分考慮“人”、“語言”和“社會”之間存在的互為依存、互動互促、密不可分的關系,開拓學習者的跨文化交際視野,讓學生置身于廣闊的社會文化情景之中,養(yǎng)成用英語進行思維的習慣,做到學有所思、思有所得、得有所用,從而不再感到英語是身外之物,實現(xiàn)英語綜合運用能力和學習者人格、素質的同步提升。

章節(jié)摘錄

  The graying of America has many health-care planners worried. The life expectancies ofeven the very old (85 and older) have increased significantly in recent years. But at the same time,this group faces the highest risk of chronic disease and disability requiring long-term care. Payingfor this care could wipe out the entire life savings of many people within a year.The number of Americans aged 85 and older is expected to grow three to four times as fast asthe general population between 1990 and 2010 and is expected to increase from 2 million in 1980to 16 million by the year 2050. Of major significance for long-term care are the lengthening lifeexpectancies at age 85, which have increased 24% since 1960 and are projected to increase another44% by 2040.While only 5% of Americans over 65 currently reside in nursing homes, that percentage risessharply with age. Twenty-two percent of persons 85 and older live in nursing homes.According to national estimates, one year in a nursing home costs an average of $22,000, andthis figure is expected to more than double by 2018. Given that the mean income for Americansaged 65 and older is currently $19,000, most people in that age group will simply not be able tostay in nursing homes.Two possible routes for private insurance plans are individual plans and employer-sponsored plans. Individual policies covering long-term care are currently the most widelyavailable coverage. In 1983, only .16 companies offered individual long-term care policies;in 1988, there were more than 100. By 1987, about 400,000 people owned long-term careinsurance; in 1988, there were more than l million. However, these are mostly youngerworkers. The number of those over 65 with such policies today is still relatively small, atapproximately 100,000.
