Feeling Free
I woke up feeling cranky(脾气坏的). I didn't want to do housework, though the laundry was piling up. I didn't want to read the work I brought home from the office. I didn't want to do anything that resembled responsible behavior. It was that kind of day.(承上总结句)
感受自由
一醒来我的心情就很糟糕。我不想做家务,尽管要洗的衣服已经堆积如山。我也不想理会那些我从办公室带回家的工作。我不想做任何负责任的事。这就是那样的一天。
As I drank my morning tea, I thought I felt a headache coming on. Yes, there it was, a dull throb(跳动)just behind my eyes. Maybe I should go back to bed until it subsided(消退). As I put the dishes in the sink, it seemed that my muscles were beginning to ache. Or was the ache in my joints? That could mean I was coming down with the flu. (承上启下句) Everyone I knew had the flu this year. Why should I be the one to escape(免于)it? I absolutely should be in bed.
当我喝早茶的时候,我就感到阵阵头痛袭来。是的,就是,一阵隐隐约约的疼痛充斥着我的眼睛。或许,我应该继续睡觉直到疼痛消失。当我把盘子丢进水槽里的时候,我的肌肉好像也开始隐隐作痛。或许是我的关节在痛?那是不是我得了流感了呢?我认识的每个人今年都得了流感。凭什么我幸免于此?我的确应该躺在床上。
I shuffled(拖步走)back to bed, wiggled(扭动)under the covers and shut my eyes. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake. I ought to get up. But no, there was that headache and the beginning of a sniffle(吸鼻子). Better get the tissues.
我拖拉着回到床上,在被子下扭动了下就闭上了眼睛。能再睡几小时就好了,可我现在已经完全清醒了。我应该起床。不,还是不要了。我的头还痛着,鼻子也开始抽抽搭搭了,我最好去拿些纸巾。
本部分重点及难点:
1. Another couple of hours of sleep would be so nice, but I was already completely awake.
be completely / wide awake
be fast / sound asleep
On my way back from the bathroom with a family-sized(家用的)tissue box, I stopped to grab that big new novel I had bought but had no time to read. I opened the book and settled(安顿)against the pillows.
我去浴室取了一盒家庭装的纸巾,在回到卧室的路上,我停下来抓起那本我早买了但一直没有时间看的大部头小说。我靠在枕头上打开了书。
The morning was moving along and so was my reading. Another twenty pages and I was stretching. I should try to crack(找到解决…方法)the report I was working on. I should at least get up and do the wash. What if I was contagious? I certainly didn't want to spread any germs. The wash could wait. My family was resourceful enough to scrounge(索取)clothing for the next day.
一早上就这样过去了,我的阅读也这样继续着。接着我又看了20页,我伸展了一下身体。我应该把那个我一直忙着的工作报告做完。或许,我至少应该起床,洗点衣服。要是我患了传染性感冒怎么办?我可不想传播细菌啊。那些脏衣服可以等等再洗。家人有足够的能力找到第二天能穿的衣服。
Maybe I wasn't actually getting the flu. I didn't really want to be sick. To be truthful, all I wanted was a little time off. I needed to nurture(养育) myself away from people, chores(琐事), career and the outside world. Did I have to wait to be sick to do that? As a child, the only respite(暂停) from school or family chores was illness. But I wasn't a child any more. Did I have to manufacture(捏造) symptoms to provide myself with an excuse? No, I decided, I didn't.
或许我根本就没有感冒。我其实也并非真想生病。说实话,我只是想要一点闲暇的时间而已。我想让自己远离人群、琐事、职业以及外面的世界。我就非得等到生病了才能那样吗?孩子能不上课或不做家务的唯一方法就是生病,但我已经不再是个孩子了。我不得不装出生病的症状来给自己找借口吗?不,我决定了,我不需要。
本部分重点及难点:
3. I needed to nurture myself away from people, chores, career and the outside world.
nurture 养育,培养,培育;支持,鼓励
Parents want to know the best way to nurture and raise their child to adulthood. 父母们想了解把他们的孩子养育成人的最好方法。
She had always nurtured great ambitions for her son. 她一直在培养她儿子的雄心大志。
The human learns partly by nature, partly by nurture. 人的学习能力部分是先天的,部分是后天培育的。
nature and nurture 先天与后天,遗传与环境;先天遗传说和后天培养说
We want to nurture the project, not destroy it. 我们要支持这个新工程,不要破坏它。
4. Did I have to manufacture symptoms to provide myself with an excuse?
(1) manufacture 编造,捏造
(2) provide sb. with sth. / provide sth. for sb.
I talked to myself. Okay, I said, you need a day off. Admit it. Accept it. Toss out(扔掉) the guilt and enjoy a mini-vacation. What would you like to do? Read? You're already doing that. Pamper(纵容,放纵) yourself? Take a bubble bath. Be a hermit(隐士)? Let the machine answer the phone.
我和自己交谈,好的,我说,你需要休息一天。承认吧,接受吧,抛掉罪恶感,去享受这个小假期。那你想做些什么呢?阅读吗?你已经那么做了啊。要不就纵容一下自己,洗个泡泡浴?还是就做个隐士,让答录机去接电话呢?
I poured half the bottle of bath gel into the streaming water and added a hearty(大的) handful of chamomile(春)bath salts. Then I lit a vanilla-scented (香草味的) candle and gingerly stepped into the bathtub. With a grateful sigh, I immersed myself in my homemade spa. I heard the phone ring somewhere off in the distance and smiled.
我在水中倒了半瓶沐浴露,还加了一大把甘菊浴盐,然后点起一支香草味的蜡烛,轻手轻脚地走进了浴缸里。我长舒了一口气,泡起了自制的水疗。我听见远处电话响起,笑而不应。
It is funny how the aches subsided in the heat of the tub. They just slipped away with the last of the bubbles down the drain. My head felt just fine, the throb replaced by a sense of well-being.
真是有意思,在热气腾腾的浴缸里,那些疼痛竞消失得无影无踪了,它们都随着最后的泡泡流进了下水道里。我的头感觉好多了,眼痛也被美好的感觉取而代之。
By late afternoon, I was back at it(恢复原样), refreshed physically, mentally and emotionally. And rather than feeling helpless, I felt empowered. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to(注意,留心) my family. I didn't need the crutch(拐杖) of illness to justify a rest. It was such a simple awareness, but then isn't it the simple things that set us free?
下午晚些时候,我恢复了精神,身体上,精神上,情绪上全都焕然一新。我也不再感到无助,反而感觉到充满力量。我给了自己倾听并满足自己需求的机会,像照顾家人一样关心了一下自己。我根本不需要生病这样的理由去休息。这其实是一个非常简单的意识,不过难道不是那些简单的事情让我们感到自由吗?
本部分重点及难点:
5. I had given myself permission to listen and respond to my needs, to care for myself the way I tended to my family.
(1) give sb. permission to do sth.
(2) respond to one's needs: meet one's needs

不要拿自己跟别人对比,低估自己的价值,原因就在于我们是不同的,每个人都是独特的个体。不要把别人认为重要的目标当作是自己的目标,只有你自己才知道什么是最适合你的。不要整天生活在对过去的回忆或者将来的憧憬里,让日子从指缝悄悄溜走。而应该生活在当下,生活在生命中的每一天。不要不敢承认自己不够完美,正是脆弱的天性将我们紧紧联系在一起。不要让时光虚度,自己都不知道曾经去过哪里,也不知道要去哪里。不要忘记一个人最大的情感需求就是感到自己得到了赏识。不要浪费时间和话语,因为这些东西一旦失去就不可以复得。生活不是一场比赛,而是一段旅程,一路上每走出一步都要仔细品味。
V.2 4 1 3 5
Ⅵ.好多时候,人们感觉精疲力竭,想放松一下,但是总是放弃这样的想法,仅仅是因为生活忙忙碌碌的,不能真正放松自己。即使真的放松自己,总觉得很内疚,感觉自己不负责任。然而,人们需要倾听并满足自己的需求,就像上面故事中的作者一样关心自己。你同意这种观点吗?除了生病人们可以放松自己之外,你能否列出其他的理由?请举例说明自己的观点。

Nothing takes its toll on the body(对身体有害) like stress. 1 In addition to the mental damage that it causes, stress is also linked to many diseases, including cancer. 2 Unfortunately, in today's world, most of us are experiencing a stressful life with no way to get out of it - or so we think.
If you are 3 one of the many people who want to alleviate your stress, you can learn some simple techniques to help you 4 get out of the vicious cycle of leading a stressful life. Your stressful life does not just affect you, but everyone around you. It affects your relationships as well as any children or co-workers. Most of all, it can actually make you 5 physically ill.
Do you really want to go 6 through the rest of your life feeling "stressed out"? Do you like the idea of feeling "out of control" and that everything in life is a trial? Perhaps it is time for you to confront this situation and seek help to restore some sort of balance in your life and break 7 free from this cycle.
There are many facets to stress. Stress manifests itself(显露) in many different ways and can be 8 either self-induced(自诱导的) or something that occurs in life. We can never eliminate stress from our lives, as stressful situations are part of life. However, we can learn to react to stress in a 9 positive manner and take control of the situation 10 rather thanallowing the stress to remain in control.

Self-Esteem and Body Image
I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs.
自尊和自身形象
我很胖。我太瘦了。要是我能再高一点我就开心了。要是我能再矮一点我就开心了。要是我是卷发我就开心了。要是我是直发我就开心了。要是我的鼻子能再小一点我就开心了。要是我的肌肉能再发达点我就开心了。要是我的腿能再长点我就开心了。
Do any of these statements sound familiar?(承上句) Are you used to putting yourself down(贬低;使出丑)? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton of(大量的)changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image of yourself. Lots of people have trouble adjusting, and this can affect their self-esteem.
这些表述听起来熟悉吗?你经常贬损自己吗?如果是,那也不是你一个人这么做。十几岁的时候,你的身体会经历大量的变化。你的身体改变了,你的个人形象也改变了。很多人都很难调整适应这些变化,这就会影响到他们的自尊。
Why Are Self-Esteem and Body Image Important?
Self-esteem is all about how much people value themselves, the pride they feel in themselves, and how worthwhile(=worthy) they feel. Self-esteem is important because feeling good about yourself can affect how you act. A person who has high self-esteem will make friends easily, is more in control of his or her behavior, and will enjoy life more.
为什么自尊和自身形象这么重要?
自尊就是关于人们如何评价自己,他们对自己的自豪感以及他们觉得自己的重要程度。自尊非常重要,因为自我感觉是否良好会影响到你的行为。自尊心强的人交朋友会比较容易,更能控制自己的行为,也更会享受生活。
Body image is how someone feels about his or her own physical appearance. For many people, especially those in their early teens, body image can be closely linked to self-esteem. That's because as kids develop into teens, they care more about how others see them.(承上句)
自身形象就是一个人对自己的外表感觉如何。对很多人来说,尤其是刚十几岁的时候,自身形象和自尊心的关系紧密,这是因为随着孩子们步入青春期,他们会更在意别人怎么看他们。
What Influences a Person's Self-Esteem?
Puberty(青春期)
Some teens struggle with their self-esteem when they begin puberty because the body goes through many changes. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others. They may compare themselves with the people around them or with actors and celebs they see on TV, in movies, or in magazines.
什么会影响一个人的自尊?
青春期
一些十几岁的孩子会在青春期开始时在自尊这个问题上比较纠结,这是由于他们的身体经历着许多变化造成的。身体上的变化,加上希望得到认可的内在渴望意味着他们会很难不把自己和其他人比较。他们可能会把自己和身边的人比较,也可能会和在电视上、电影里或是杂志上看到的演员或名人来比较。
本部分重点及难点:
1. These changes, combined with a natural desire to feel accepted, mean it can be tempting for people to compare themselves with others.
(1) natural desire 天生的欲望
(2) it can be tempting(吸引人的,诱惑人的)for people to compare themselves with others 中it是形式主语,真正的主语是for people to compare themselves with others, for people作不定式的逻辑主语。
注意不定式和动名词逻辑主语的选择
It's selfish of you to think of yourself all the time(你老是想着自己).
It's important for you to master a foreign language(你掌握一门外语).
It's +adj. +of sb. to do sth. 此类形容词包括:nice, kind, cruel, selfish, selfless, brave, wise, foolish, stupid 等。
Do you mind my/me/ Tom's / Tom opening the window(我/汤姆开窗)?
His/Tom's having left home(他/汤姆离家出走)made his parents very sad.

【单选题】24. It's essential ______ to keep a dictionary at hand while you are reading an English novel.
A. that you
B. your
C. of you
D. for you
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查不定式的逻辑主语。形容词essential不是表示人的品质、行为的词,故选择for you而不是of you。如果选择A应该把题干中空格后的to去掉,即essential后接用虚拟语气的从句。
【知识点】不定式的逻辑主语
But it's impossible to measure ourselves against(对照…评价;同…较量) others because the changes that come with puberty are different for everyone.(承上启下句、主题句)Some people start developing early; others are late bloomers(成熟者). Some get a temporary layer of fat to prepare for a growth spurt(急剧增长); others fill out(长胖) permanently, and still others feel like(感觉象是;摸起来如同;想要) they stay skinny no matter how much they eat. It all depends on how our genes have programmed(规划) our bodies to act.(承上总结句)
但是把我们和其他人作比较是不可能的,因为在青春期的变化每个人都是不尽相同的。有些人会成熟得早,有些人成熟得晚。有些人可能因为生长发育会暂时发福,有些人可能一直都会很胖,还有一些人不管吃多少都会很纤瘦。这完全取决于我们的基因怎么样控制我们的身体去变化。
The changes that come with puberty can affect how both girls and guys feel about themselves. Some girls may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed about their maturing bodies. Others may wish that they were developing faster. Girls may feet pressure to be thin but guys may feel like they don't look big or muscular enough.
青春期里这样的变化会影响女孩和男孩对他们自己的看法。有些女孩可能会因为发育得快而觉得不舒服或者尴尬。还有人可能还希望他们能发育得更快一点。女孩们可能在保持纤瘦方面感到有压力,男孩们可能会担心他们看起来不够高大或者强壮。
本部分重点及难点:
2. But it's impossible to measure ourselves against others because the changes that come with puberty are different for everyone.
measure oneself against ... 对照……评价自己,一较高下,与……较量
3. It all depends on how our genes have programmed our bodies to act.
(1) depend on 取决于
It depends. 看情况吧。
(2) program 使按预定的步骤进行
our genes have programmed our bodies to act 我们的基因已经设定好了身体将如何成长
Outside Influences
It's not just development that affects self-esteem, though. Many other factors (like media images of skinny girls and bulked-up身材魁梧的 guys) can affect a person's body image too.
外界影响
并不是只有发育会影响他们的自尊心。许多其他的因素也能影响个人的自身形象,比如媒体中纤瘦的女孩们或是身材魁梧的男孩们的形象。
Family life can sometimes influence self-esteem. Some parents spend more time criticizing their kids and the way they look than praising them, which can reduce kids' ability to develop good self-esteem.
家庭生活有时也会影响自尊心。有些家长批评他们的孩子的行为和外表的时间比表扬他们的时间还要多,这样也会削减孩子们培养良好的自尊心的能力。
People also may experience negative comments and hurtful teasing(取笑) about the way they look from classmates and peers. Sometimes racial and ethnic prejudice is the source of such comments. Although these often come from ignorance, sometimes they can affect someone's body image and self-esteem.
在外表这个问题上,人们还可能会遭受同学或是同龄人的负面评论或是恶意嘲讽。有时候,这样的评论也来源于种族或民族歧视。尽管这些评论通常都源于无知,但有时它们还是会影响一个人的自身形象和自尊心。
Healthy Self-Esteem
If you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are. This healthy attitude allows you to explore other aspects of growing up, such as developing good friendships, growing more independent from your parents, and challenging yourself physically and mentally. Developing these parts of yourself can help boost your self-esteem.
健康的自尊心
如果你有积极向上的自身形象,那么你可能会喜欢并接受你自己自然的样子。这种健康的态度让你探索成长过程中的其他方面,比如建立良好的友谊,更加于父母,或是在身体和精神上挑战自己。发掘你自身这些方面能够帮助你增强自尊心。
A positive, optimistic attitude can help people develop strong self-esteem. For example, saying, "Hey, I'm human" instead of "Wow, I'm such a loser" when you've made a mistake, or not blaming others when things don't go as expected.
积极乐观的态度能够帮助人们建立强烈的自尊心。例如,当犯错误的时候说“嘿,我只是个普通人”而不是“糟糕,我是个失败者”,或是当事情无法如愿发展的情况下不去责怪别人。
Knowing what makes you happy and how to meet your goals can help you feel capable, strong, and in control of your life. A positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising and eating right) are a great combination for building good self-esteem.
知道什么能让自己开心并且怎样去实现目标能让你感到更有能力,更坚强,更能把握自己的生活。积极的态度和健康的生活方式(比如运动和合理饮食)是建立良好自尊的最佳组合。
Tips for Improving Your Body Image
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
提升自身形象的建议
有些人认为,他们需要改变自身的外表或是做事情的方式来让自己感觉良好。但是其实你需要做的只是改变你看待自己的身体的方式以及你对自己的看法。
The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you're very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to verify that things are OK. But it's no one's business but your own what your body is like. Ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself.
第一件事就是认识到,不管你胖瘦、高矮或是肤色,你的身体都是你自己的。如果你非常担心你的体重或者身高,找医生检查一下是不是一切都正常。但是你的身体怎么样是你自己的事,和别人无关。最终,你还是要对自己感到满意。
Next, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you can't. Everyone (even the most perfect-seeming celeb) has things about themselves that they can't change and need to accept, like their height, for example, or their shoe size.
第二件事,确认一下你外表的哪些方面可以改变,哪些你不能改变。每个人(即使是看起来最完美的社会名人)都会有他不能改变而必须接受的东西,就像身高或是鞋子的尺码。
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can (such as how fit you are), do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a plan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods. Then keep track of your progress until you reach your goal. Meeting a challenge you set for yourself is a great way to boost self-esteem!
如果有些事情你想改变并且能够改变(比如身体的健康程度),那么就给自己制定一些目标。例如,如果你想变得健康,那么就制定一个计划,每天锻炼并且吃有营养的食物。然后掌握你的进步状况直到达到你的目标。达到自己设定的挑战是增强自尊心的一个好办法!
本部分重点及难点
4. If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can (such as how fit you are), do this by making goals for yourself.
do sth. for oneself 为自己做事
Good students should learn to think for themselves.
do sth. by oneself 自己做事
Because there was nobody else, he had to do it by himself.
live to oneself 过孤独的生活

【单选题】25. You are over 18 now, so try to carry out the task ______ oneself. That is, please try to do it _______.
A. by, independent
B. for, independently
C. to, dependently
D. in, dependently
【答案】B
【解析】本题考查for / to / by oneself及dependently / independently。for oneself相当于independently,强调主观能动性,意为"地";by oneself相当于alone,强调客观含义,意为"独自地"。故本题选择B,句意为"你已经超过18岁了,所以尽量完成这样任务。也就是说,请做这件事。"
【知识点】for / to / by oneself及dependently / independently
重点知识补充:构词法
英语单词的构成有一定的规律,这种规律称为构词法。掌握构词法知识对我们更好地理解词义、认识新词和扩大词汇量有重要意义。
构词法主要有三种:派生法、合成法和转换法。
一、派生法
在一个词的词根前面或后面加上某个词缀来产生新词,这种构词法称为派生法。词缀分为前缀和后缀。
(一)后缀:
许多名词、形容词、副词和动词是由词根加后缀构成的。
1.构成名词的常用后缀有:
(1)-er, -or, -ist, -ee, -ian, -ese, -ant等用于构成表示人或物的名称。
如:writer, translator, trainee, employee, scientist, physicist, musician, physician, Italian, Asian, Chinese, assistant等。
(2)-ance, -ence, -(a)tion, -sion, -al, -ing, -ity, -ment, -th, -ty, -ure, -ship等用于构成表示行为、性质、状态等的抽象名词。
如:acceptance, assistance, dependence, confidence, repetition, preparation, discussion, division, arrival, survival, approval, disapproval, building, reality, simplicity, ability, rapidity, regularity, argument, warmth, length, growth, safety, leadership, failure, pressure, friendship等。
(3)其他名词后缀:-hood, -ness, -ology, -phy。

Section B
人生在世,和“自己”相处最多,打交道最多,但是往往悟不透“自己”。人生得意之时,往往把自己估计过高,似乎一切所求的东西都能唾手可得;运气和机遇都会青睐你,成为你人生价值的一部分,这让你欣喜若狂。在不得意时,又往往把自己估计过低,把困难和不利看作是因为自己。你可能认为安分守己、与世无争是明智之举,而实际上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鲜活的生命。悟透自己,就是正确认识自己,做一个冷静的现实主义者,既知道自己的优势,也知道自己的不足。
