新视野大学英语 3 读写教程 15 选 10Unit1When I think of people in this world who have really made a difference, I think of my parents. They were truly saints among ordinary people.I was one of the ten children my parents adopted. They rescued（挽救） each of us from a life of poverty（贫穷） and loneliness（孤独） . They were hardly able to restrain（克制） themselves from bringing home more children to care for. If they had had the resources（资源） they certainly would have.Most people do not realize how much they appreciated （感激） someone until they pass away（大多数人都不知道他们有多么感激一个人，直到那个人去世）. My sisters and brothers and I did not want this to happen before we uttered（说） the words "Thank you" to our parents（我的妹妹和弟弟和我都不想在我们对父母说谢谢你之前让这件事发生）.Although we have all grown up and scattered（散落） about the country, we got back together to thank our parents. My brother Tom undertook（从事，承担） the task of organizing the event. Every Friday night, Mom and Dad have had the ham dinner special at the same restaurant for the last twenty years. That is where we waited without their knowing. When we first caught a glimpse（瞥一眼） of them coming across the street, we all hid underneath（在…之下） a big table. When they entered, we leapt（跳出来） out and shouted, "Thank you, Mom and Dad." My brother Tom presented （提供）them with a card（ 办 法 ,手 段 ,妙 计 ） and we all hugged（拥抱） . My Dad pretended（假装） that he had known we were under the table all along.Unit2Women who exercise regularly need to be careful with what they eat. Researchers have found evidence（证据，迹象） that even moderate（适度的） exercise can result in losing iron. They said that women who exercise regularly, especially in endurance（耐久） activities, typically lose iron. In order to prevent this from becoming a problem（为了防止这成为问题）, it is important that those women consume more meat（吃肉） or take supplements（补充） to replace（取代） the iron lost. Those who do not bother to get plentiful amounts of iron（嫌麻烦不愿意获得大量铁的人） may begin to feel weak and tired. "If you can get the recommended daily allowance（按定量供给） of iron in your diet（如果你能每天服用推荐铁的含量）, you will probably perform better," said one diet specialist. "One shortcoming（缺点） of taking iron pills is that the pill form is not well absorbed（专心致志，全神贯注） and can sometimes make you sick. It is preferable（可取的）that you try to remedy（治疗） the deficiency（缺点） by getting more iron-rich meats（红肉） in your diet."There are ways to help your body store（储存） away（一直在做 …） the iron it takes in. By getting plenty of Vitamin C, your body is able to process（处理）, or use, the iron better. Researchers acknowledge（承认，声明） that everyone's body is different and the problem will be less serious for some. Because it is impossible to decide whether or not this could be a problem for you, health specialists say（健康专家说） it is advisable（明智的） to check your iron levels. Even when you can't feel it, you may still have a problem.Unit3While many private schools are focusing more on values（重视） , public schools are moving toward testing standards. The national government demands（需要） academic（学术上的） success and tests are taken as a key measurement（量度；份量，尺寸；） for a school's performance（表现） . Schools with low test scores face penalties（惩罚） such as a reduction（减少） in money to run（经营） their schools. And, even individual teachers are being graded on（分级） how they're preparing their students for these tests."We have concentrated（集中的，全神贯注的） too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests," commented（评论） one elementary school teacher（初中老师）. "We should be providing a more comprehensive（综合的，全面的） curriculum（课程） to these kids. We should be cultivating（改善，培养） leadership and curiosity（领导能力和好奇心） . Unfortunately, there is never time."One school principal remarked（重要的评论） , "It's true that it would be beneficial（有益的） to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that in poorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less equipped（被装备） to perform（工作） well. We have many obstacles（障碍） to overcome（战胜，压倒） before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not alike（同样地） , so they shouldn't be tested that way.""The goal is to improve performance in schools that are not providing（提供） their students with tools for success," said one government official. He admits（承认） , however, that he is having a hard time convincing faculty（说服全体教职员工） and teachers this plan will work.Unit 4For many, beauty and fashion are permanently linked. With regard to fashion, the Barbie doll has been consistently in style. From the first Barbie dolls, Mattel took care to dress them in detailed, fashionable clothes.
