1、新视界大学英语综合教程第六单元课文翻译及练习答案Active Reading里程碑 上周，我生命中最重要的两位女性都跨越了重要的里程碑。周四，我五岁半的大女儿伊登小学一年级结束了，拿到了她的第一份“评语”，而我60岁的妈妈庆祝自己光荣退休。这两件事都提醒着我：我是一个非常幸运的人。这两件事都让我对自己出生的家庭和正在经营的家庭感到自豪。这两件事都使我思考妈妈当时努力把我培养成什么样的人以及我正努力把女儿培养成什么样的人。我一直努力不让自己成为那种一谈起令人自豪的孩子就喋喋不休的家长。所以，我就不细讲伊登的评语了，免得你们感到无聊。但我还是会提一下这两页文档中那五个无疑让我倍感骄傲的短语：“果断
2、独立”、“非常专注”、“幽默风趣”、“充满活力”和“乐于助人”。这些都不是对伊登学业成绩的描述，但对我来说，如果伊登在上学期间能够保持这些特质，这比她的学习成绩更为重要。当天的晚些时候，我听了爸爸在妈妈退休晚宴上的发言，真切地意识到母亲对我的生活有多么积极的影响；她是如此出色的榜样，要做到她那样实在不容易。妈妈永远是一个乐观、稳重、沉着的人，极少因为什么事而烦恼。爸爸是这样形容她的：“才情可畏”。只要她一开口，就能滔滔不绝，不管是讲什么。从运动到政治，她对一切无所不知，简直厉害得吓人。她充满了生机和活力。她就是她自己，而且为此而开心。她非常坚强，善于处理问题。她让人感到愉悦。她充满了智慧。她是
3、一个天生的“咨询师”。在我和兄弟们还很小的时候，妈妈为了养育我们，舍弃了很多，还放弃了前途光明的社会工作，她本来可以轻而易举地在事业上获得巨大成功，但她从来没有一句怨言。多年之后，我们都长大了，而她开始了一份全新的事业教书，一切都那么自然。妈妈教给我的最重要的东西就是：我可以做任何事。整个世界都是我的盘中餐，为什么不享用呢？她总能让我很有安全感，让我倍感爱意。在遭遇危机或冲突的时候，她总是尽力保护我，但同时，她又教我站出来维护自己。她教会了我一种特殊的“别瞎扯”、“好好干活”式的英国风格。我相信，在我遇到困难的时候，这种英国风格很多次使我渡过了难关。重要的是，她常常为我提出建议，为我提供保护网
4、，但她从来不替我作出选择。她极力提倡个人独立。在妈妈的退休晚宴上，我本来是想发言的，可我情绪太激动，说不出话来。我当时想让大家都知道，她最大的成功是作为母亲的成功；她将我们带到世界上，赋予了我们如此强大的力量。我现在明白，伊登之所以能得到这样的学校评语，有很大一部分原因是妈妈的影响已经延及了下一代。Dealing with Unfamiliar Words Match the words with their meanings in the context of the passage.1. a 2. a 3. b 4. b 5. a 6. b 7. a Complete the paragr
