章節(jié)摘錄

　　LIVE JOYFULLY TODAY！　　Most people go through life putting off their joy and happiness. They say， I will be happy "someday"， arier I achieve my goal or dream. Only then do they feel they will be able to enjoy life to the fullest. The truth is that if we decide to be happy now， well automatically achieve more. While goals provide a magnificent direction and a way to focus our life， we must constantly strive to live each day to its fullest， squeezing all the joy we can out of each moment. Instead of measuring our success and failure in life by our ability to achieve an individualized and specific goal， let us measure success by the joy we have while working toward our goals.　　Life is short！ Dont put off joy and happiness. If goal setting means that only someday--after graduation， after you find a good job， after you become famous--only then will you be happy， then you are missing out on real life. There is a big difference between achieving to be happy and happily achieving. Strive to live each day to its fullest， squeezing all the joy you can out of each moment. Instead of measuring your lifes value by your progress toward your lifes goal， measure it by the joy you find each day as you work toward your goal.　　Life-Link： Our Words to You　　QUESTIONS ARE THE ANSWER　　What makes the biggest difference in whom you become and how far you will go in life? Its not the events in your life that shape your future， its the way you interpret and evaluate those experiences. Great men and women have come from all kinds of backgrounds. Some were rich and educated， and others were poor. Many had great difficulties to overcome. So， its not the events or things that happen in your life that shape your future. Its how you interpret and evaluate your particular life experiences.　　Here is what I mean. Lets suppose you get sick and have to drop out of school for a semester. One student would interpret that as bad luck and possibly give up on school. Someone else might use the time spent in bed as an opportunity to do some extra reading and go back to school better prepared and more eager than ever before.　　The difference between the two students reaction to being sick will depend on what kind of questions each student has asked himself. Student one might have asked himself， "Why does bad luck always happen to me?" His answer might have been， "because It was not meant to go to school." The other student might have asked： "how can I use my time in bed to my advantage?" and then have answered the question by saying， "I can read！" 　　Whenever we ask ourselves questions we always get an answer. Try it！ The better questions you ask yourself the better the answers you will get. Whenever you are confronted with a problem you dont know how to solve， ask yourself good questions and you will come up with good solutions. The kind of questions you ask will determine your furore！　　Life-Link： Our Words to You　　FOCUS ON SOLUTIONS， NOT PROBLEMS　　Learning a second language should empower your life！ Yes， I believe that， or I would not have become involved in writing this book. This study of English should change and empower your life--even ifyou use English only a little bit. Let me show you what I mean by using the reverse example of myself， an English speaker learning a little Chinese.　　One of the English words you should be familiar with is the word "crisis". The English definition from the dictionary is this： "a time of great trouble". I have lived and worked with that definition all my life--until I studied Chinese. The word "crisis" in Chinese is composed of two Chinese characters： one represents danger， and the other represents opportunity. From my little study of Chinese I learned a lot about how to deal with my own life "crises". I have learned that a life "crisis" can be a dangerous time， but it can also be a time of opportunity. It all depends on how you look at it！ That little language study has changed my　　life！　　What a great insight for living was gained by studying another language！ In "crisis" situations of life we can choose to focus on danger or opportunity， on problems or solutions. Instead of seeing a "crisis" as a problem， I learned to see it as an opportunity. This understanding will also give you great power in the midst of your problems.　　Here is a thought： Never spend more than 10 percent of your time on a problem. Always spend at least 90 percent of your time on seeking the solutions and opportunities a problem provides. We all have "crises" in our lives. How you view a "crisis" situation determines how it will affect your life.

編輯推薦

　　改革開放以來，我國大學英語的教學取得了顯著的成績，大學生的英語水平同10年、20年前相比，有了明顯的提高。邁入新的世紀，尤其是我國加入WTO后，社會各界對人才的培養(yǎng)有了更高的要求，在英語已逐漸成為世界性語言的今天，誰能完全駕御這種交際工具，誰就能在國際大舞臺上具有主動性，就能更有效地參與競爭。這就要求我們培養(yǎng)出來的人才具有較強的跨文化交際能力?！　∽鳛橛⒄Z教師，作者經(jīng)常捫心自問、反省自己的教學：我都教給了學生什么？我又能夠做些什么來幫助今天的學生——明日的國家棟梁打下堅實的語言基礎，使他們在與世界的接軌中，能夠運用英語這一全球性交際工具與人溝通，并在各種交際場合中充滿自信地表達自我？ 于是，一種責任感和使命感促使我們——一位從事大學英語教學實踐多年，近年來主要從事網(wǎng)絡教學和運用多媒體手段進行課堂教學與研究的中國教育工作者，與一位有著豐富人生閱歷、從事過寫作、創(chuàng)辦了ESL語言學校、有著幾十年大中學教學經(jīng)歷、了解中國學生、熱愛中國（創(chuàng)辦了“中國之友協(xié)會”——FriendsofChina，Inc．）的美國教育工作者，一起構思、編寫并制作了一套順應時代發(fā)展，符合當今中國學生實際需要的英語視聽說立體化教材?！　∥覀儗⒈咎捉滩牡暮诵牟糠帧榫皩υ捴械娜宋?、事件和場景設定在美國，以突出語言在實際生活中的具體運用。在寫作視聽素材之前，我們就語言、教育、留美學習生活、與美國人的接觸、對美國社會的了解等內容對100多位中國赴美留學人員進行了問卷調查，還與填寫問卷的許多人就問卷中的某些內容展開了討論。在這套教材中，我們將自己對留美學生現(xiàn)實生活的觀察、思考和對他們用英語進行交際活動的分析，以及我們自己在生活中的體驗，融入了赴美留學生王欣這一典型的人物以及伴隨著她的一個個情景會話和背景知識的視聽素材中，力圖使教材內容貼近真實生活，語言上保持“原汁原味”和針對學生學習生活上的切實需要與表達能力方面的薄弱點。每單元之后，我們還附上由LorenSteele親自朗讀的對學習者的附言。我們真誠希望通過循序漸進的語言學習與技能的訓練，隨著學習者對每一單元語言內容的把握及相關文化背景的了解，以作者的心聲同學習者進行更深層次的思想溝通，用作者自己對生活的體驗、對人生的感悟來激發(fā)和喚起學習者對一些問題的思索，激勵學習者在人生道路上積極進取?！　∮嘘P語言和文化的關系，國內外不少專家、學者都有專門的論述。教育部有關文件也明確指出，“文化與語言有著密切的聯(lián)系，一定的文化背景知識有助于促進語言應用能力的提高”。如何將這一理念落在實處，貫穿在這套視聽說教材里，始終是我們考慮的重點，因此我們將本套教材的整體構思與寫作定位在“文化學習”這個層面上，力求做到在傳達語言知識與訓練語言技能的同時，傳輸相關的背景文化知識。學習語言最終要達到的目的是具有參隨語境變化的語言交際能力，我們在寫作對話內容、視聽材料和設計訓練語言交際技能的活動中，注意組織語言表達所需要的不可缺少的各個細節(jié)，注重語境的創(chuàng)造，使學生在話語規(guī)則的框架中去理解語言并操練語言技能。
