There is an important trick in this time-using formula; you must get into your work quickly．If you--have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil．You must make your mental preparations beforehand and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes．Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize． I confess I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes．But life can be counted on to supply interruptions．Carl Walter has a tremendous influence on my life．To him, I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I begin without delay． 这样利用时间有一个诀窍，就是你必须跟块地进入工作状态。如果你只有五分钟写作的时间，你就不能把四分钟的时间浪费在咬笔杆上。你必须事先有心里准备，几乎一有时间就全神贯注地投入工作，值得庆幸的是，迅速集中精力要比我们大多数人认识到的容易得多。 我承认我还没有学会在到了五分钟或十分钟时就能轻易放下所干的事情，但在生活中我们是能够指望找到闲暇时间的。卡尔，沃尔特对我的一生产生了巨大的影响。多亏他我才能发现如果能立即投入工作，即使是短时间累加起来也会成为我所需要的有用的几个小时。 The Wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books — but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in, the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books. 所有时代的智慧，数千年来人类喜爱的所有故事，从书本里我们都可以轻而易举地获得，不过，我们必须知道如何利用这一财富并从中得到最大的益处，世上最不幸的人就是那些从未发现阅读好书是如何令人心满意足的人。 Every book stands by itself, like a one family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too. In 1992 national state and local governments in the United States spent nearly ＄250 billion on public (elementary and secondary)education .Of this amount,46.8 percent came form the state governments,46.1 percent from local school districts,and 7.1 percent from the national government ,with the remainder coming form private sources.1992年，美国的邦联，州和地方政府在公立（包括小学和中学）教育方面花费了近2500亿美元，其中46.8%来自州政府，46.1%来自当地学校所在地区，7.1%来自联邦政府，剩余款项来自私人方面 。 Although federal dollars are the smallest share of public school funding ,these dollars are still vital to school systems that are usually financially strapped and sometimes in dire need of additional revenue.虽然来自联邦政府的钱在公立学校的资金中所占份额最少，但是，这笔钱对通常捉襟见是，而且有时需要额外收入的学校来说依然是至关重要的/ Today, schools are expected to do many things: resolve racial conflict and build an integrated society; inspire patriotism and good citizenship; provide value, aspirations, and a sense of identity to disadvantaged children; offer various forms of recreation and mass entertainment(football games, bands, choruses, majorettes, and the like);teach children to get along with others and adjust to group living; reduce the highway accident toll by teaching students to be good drivers; fight disease and ill health through physical education, health training,and even medical treatment; eliminate unemployment and poverty by teaching job skills; end malnutrition and hunger through school lunch and milk programs; produce scientists and other technicians to continue America’s progress in science and technology; fight drugs abuse and educate children about sex; act an custodians for teenagers who have no interest in education but who are not p rmitted to work or roam the street unsupervised Other important reasons for the spread of English language are economic. English is the language of international business and commerce.It is also the native language of the United States.So,any country wanting,for example,to trade with the United States,or to take advantage of its technology,must be able to operate in English.Also,most scientific and technological developments have been made by English–speaking societies.To keep up with such development,to talk about them in international. conferences, or write and read about them in scientific journalis and books,scientists and students must be able to understand English. 英语被广泛使用的其他重要原因在于经济方面。首先，它是国际商业贸易通用语言，又是美国的语言。所以，任何国家，不论是想和美国做生意，还是要利用美国的技术，都要会用英语。同时，先进科技发展大都是英语国家取得的。研究人员、学者、学生要想赶上这些先进的发展，要参加国际会议讨论它们，或要看学术期刊书籍或写文章出书都要懂英语 The English language is used by more people in the world than any other living language today. This may seem surprising at first. After all, the population of the United Kingdom is one of the smallest in the world. But of course the UK is not the only country whose native language is English; the majority of people in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are also native English-speaker. However, even if you add up the populations of these countries the total only comes to about 400 million, which is less than one-tenth of the population of the world. 工作时你要全神贯注You need to be able to concentrate in your work. 你将来的一切可全靠我。You can count on me for everything in the future. 我得承认我一点也没听懂他说的话。I must confess that I did not understand a word she said. 他去年走的此后就一直不曾回来He left last year and he has been away ever since. 没有星期五演出的票了。There are no tickets available for Friday performance. 他与其说是个作家，不如说是个记者。He is not so much as a writer as a reporter. 她今天没来上课，不是因为她不想来，而是因为她母亲病了。She is absent for today’s class, not that she didn’t want to come, but that her mother was ill. 只有把读书当做是精神享受，它才成其为享受。 Reading can only be pleasure of the mind if you expect it to be. 学校的首要责任是把学生培养成好公民。 The primary mission of schools is to make good citizens out of the schools. 现在学校被看做是一个学习价值观和行为规范的地方。 At present schools are viewed as a place to learn values and norms. 各个学校的教学方法有很大差Teaching methods vary greatly from school to school. 今天的青年必须肩负起保护环境的重任。 The youth today must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the environment. 数字表明这家工厂的利润在增加。 The figure shows the profit of the factory is increasing. 她比班里任何姑娘都得都快。She runs faster than any other girl in her class. 这有助于说明英语是国际语言的原因。 This helps to explain why English is an international language. 他的债务已超过了2000美元。His debt has come to more than $2000 size,inestimable,dismiss.revision,instantly,concentration,interruption 第二单元：delight,solution,cover,avail,imagine,remarkable,manner,unfortunate, adjust,appointment,additional,education,financial,operation,treatment,free,involvement,disadvantaged figure,impressive,technology,perform,majority. 英语 大一 考前浓缩版复习资料 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/d8ed2c7a763231126edb1190.html
