It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself.I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted,however, would violate all the rules of formal composition Id learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this thing for myself.突然我就想描述那一切，描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛，但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐，而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。
那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻我想重温那个夜晚的愉快然而，照我希望的那样去写，就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格等我为自己写好了之后，我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西Unit2All The Cabbie Had Was A Letter"This isnt family," he replied. "Although," he went on, "come to think of it", it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my oldest friend. In fact, we used to call each other Old Friend — when wed meet, that is. Im not much of a hand at writing.""I dont think any of us keep up our correspondence too well," I said. "I know I dont. But I take it hes someone youve known quite a while?" "All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back." "Went to school together?""All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.""There are not too many people whove had such a long friendship," I said. “不是家里人，”他回答说。
不过，”他接着说，“想起来，也可以算是一家人了埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了实际上，过去我俩总是以‘老朋友’相称的——就是说，当我俩相见时我这人就是不大会写东西我看大家写信都不那么勤快，”我说我自己笔头就很懒我看，你认识他挺久了吧?”“差不多认识了一辈子了我俩小时候就一起玩，所以我俩的友谊确实很长了一起上的学?”．“都一起上到高中呢事实上，我俩从小学到高中都在一个班里保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊，”我说Unit3 Public Attitudes Toward Science Anyway, even if one wanted to, one couldnt put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge and techniques cant just be forgotten. Norcan one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all government money for research were cut off (and the present government is doing its best), the force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. Moreover, one cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science, whether or not they are paid for it. The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that even this wouldnt succeed. All it would do is slow down the rate of change.不管怎样，即使有人想这么做，他也无法将时钟拨回到早先的时代。
知识与技术不可能说忘就忘了也没有人能阻止未来的进一步发展即使所有用于研究的政府资金都被取消（现政府最擅此事），竞争的力量仍将继续带来技术的发展更何况，没有人能阻止探究求索之士去思索基础学科，无论他们是否会为此得到酬劳唯一能阻止进一步发展的办法或许是一个压制任何新事物的全球政府，但人类的进取心与创造力如此旺盛，即便这个政府也不会成功它所能做到的只是延缓变化的速度Unit4 Tony Trivisonnos American DreamAfter he passed away, I thought more and more about Tonys career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tonys affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.托尼去世后，我一直想着他的经历。
他的形象在我心目中越来越高大最后，我觉得他就和美国那些最大的实业家一样高大、自豪他们都通过同样的途径，本着同样的价值观和原则获得了成功：远见、执着、自制、乐观、自尊，以及最重要的，正直托尼不是从最低——级阶梯往上爬的，他是从地下室往上爬的托尼的事业很小，那些最大的实业家的事业很大但究其实两者的资产负债表完全一样惟——的不同是你把小数点点在什么地方Unit5 The Company ManAt the funeral,the sixty-year-old compan。
