Dear Student,
We the faculty take no pride in our educational
achievements with you. We have prepared you for
a world that does not exist, indeed, that must not exist. You have spent four years supposing that
failure leaves no record. You have learned that
when your work goes poorly, the painless solution
is to drop out. But start now, in the world which you go, failure marks you. Confronting difficulty by quitting leaves you changed. Outside the college,
quitters are no heroes.
With us you could argue about why your errors
were not errors, why mediocre work really
was excellent, why you could take pride in routine
and slipshod(不严谨的)presentation. Most of
you, after all, can look back on honor grades for
most of what you have done. So, here grades can
have meant little in distinguishing the excellent
from the ordinary. But tomorrow, in the world to
which you go, you had best not defend errors but
learn them. You will ill-advised to demand praise for that does not deserve it, and abuse those who do not give it.
For years we created an altogether forgiving
world, in which whatever slight effort you gave
was all that was demanded. When you did not keep
appointments, we made new ones. When your
work came in beyond the deadline, we pretended
not to care.
Worse still, when you were boring, we acted
as if you are interesting. When you were garrulous (喋喋不休的) and talked to hear yourselves talk, we
listened as you were saying something important. When you were dull, we pretended you were
smart. When you were predictable, imaginative and routine, we listened as if to new and wonderful
things. And all this why?
Inspite your fantasies, it was not even that we wanted to be liked by you. It was that we did not
want to be bothered, and the easy way was pretense: smile and easy Bs.

I strongly disagree with some people’s assessment of the disadvantages of children growing up without access to computers and the internet. Somehow, generations of people if all races and economic backgrounds Tried to succeed without computers.
I am a child of the’50s and graduated from college in mid 1970s, without the aid of a computer or even a calculator. We used our brains to add and abstract and slide rules(计算尺) for more complicated math. We learned to spell words, not use spell-check; we learned to diagram(用 图解法分析) sentences, not click on the grammar-check. We learned penmanship so out handwriting papers could be read.
I grew up with two sisters on the “wrong side” of my hometown (you know, the poor side ).My parents graduated during the Great Depression with eighth grades of education and worker hard for meager wages. We had a telephone, but we did not have television until 1968.I guess we were deprived.
Did it affect me? No. My sister and I are successful because our
parents struggled to scrape up for the tuition to send us to private schools. They cared enough to make sure we learned out factions, our spelling words an our sentence diagrams .They instilled in us the love of books and reading. I became computer illiterate at 30,.I an a curious soul, so I learn new
applications that improve my work and home environments. I am not in the dark ages when it comes to technology. I embraced it.
But computers and software are simple tools. The are not answers to
a deeper problem. Don’t blame the lack of computer and/or Internet access
to poor student performance. Computers and software will not make a
student better if the basic skills and parenting involvement are not part if the equation.
Get a grip(请冷静),folks. Teach children to add subtract. Teach them to
live education, to be curious about what’s around the bend(转弯处),over the
horizon.Teach them respect for our country’s values,
the history. Teach them a sense between right and wrong.
An old saying goes something like this: Give a man a fish and he eats
today; teach him to fish and he will eat for life. Why not change it to read:
Give a child a computer and she learns to double click. Teach her to read,
write, spell and subtract, and the doors for knowledge open wide.

Without his wife Jane, Hawking has always emphasized,
his career might never soared, She married him shortly

carry with his studies. They had three children in the early stages of their marriage, and later, as he became increasingly disabled, she devoted herself to satisfy his every need. After years of apparent harmonious marriage, however, serious disagreements began appearing. As the awards poured in for Stephen ,Jane----competent and intelligent herself ----
began to resent living in his shadow. Deeply religious, she was
also offended by his belief in the existence of God. Particularly annoyed to her was his concept that the universe might be completely self-contained, have no boundary or edge, no beginning or end. If that were true, he asked provocatively,
“What place, then, for a creator?” Still, friends were shocked

The United States has a major racial problem on its
hands. The only way to solve is through education . Blacks should know about the contribution that black
individuals and groups have done towards building America. This is of vital importance for there self-respect; and it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. Yet if you believe that a man has no history worth mentioning, it is difficult to conclude that he has no value as a man.
Many people believe that, since the achievements of the blacks do not appear in historical books, they did not have any. Little has been written about the 5,000 American blacks who fought in the Revolution against The British ,and they were in every important battle. In
the Civil War , for example more then 200,000 black troops fought in the United States forces . How , then , did the image of the blacks as brave fighting people appear?
To justify the institution of slavery , slaveholders Had to create the myth of the slow- witted black , incapable of self-improvement ,and even dissatisfied with his
lot . Nothing could be further from the true .The slave
fought for his freedom at every chance he got , and there was a great number of risings.
答案:
1. is前加it 2.done改为made 3.Yet改为For
4.difficult改为easy 5.historical 改为history 6.and改为but
7.appear 改为disappear 8. dissatisfied改为satisfied

10.was改为were

28.朱朝旭,代永霞----课本236页改错题
I’m a great admirer of the Japanese because they
know where they’ve come from, they know where
they’re at, and they know where they’re going. And
most important ,they have a national strategy to get
them there.
They also know to make good cars. During the1970s, their cars were actually better than ours. That’s
not true any longer, but many Americans still believe it.
How did Japanese cars get so good? It starts with
the workers. To begin , labor costs over there are much
higher than ours. Japanese workers earn about 60
percents of what American counterparts take home. 9.true改为
They don’t have automatic cost-of-living increases tie to the Consumer Price Index, as American workers do.
And they don’t have the same array of company-paid
medical benefits that saved the consumer several hundred dollars a car.
Japan’s workers are also more productive than
ours. I don’t mean that they are better ,merely that they
operate by a different set of rules.
There are really only two job classification s
in Japan: skilled and unskilled. Depending on that needs to be down on a given day, a worker may perform a
variety of job. If the floor is clean , he’ll pick up a broom and sweep it without worrying about that’s part of his job definition. Naturally this sense of
responsibility leads to much great efficiency.
答案:26. (know)how 27. (begin)with 28. higher?lower
29.percents?percent
30.tie?tied
33.clean?dirty
34.(about)whether that’s 35.great?greater
31.saved?cost 32.that?what
