　　課外閱讀1

　　美國的文化教育一向很看重學生的綜合素質。四年大學生涯,大學生的身份不僅僅是學生,他們把大學視作從學生到成人的轉型期。他們的活動已不僅僅限於青蔥校園內,他們通過網際網路出售創意、從大一開始積累各種經驗:自我心態的調整、處事能力的提升到與人相處的技巧。在生活中,既要當好演員,也要當好觀眾;在大學中,既要當好學生,也要當好初涉社會的預備人才。Get out of the library. You can have a degree and a hugeGPA and not be ready for the workplace. A student should plan that college is four years ofexperience rather than 120 credits.

　　第一,走出圖書館。就算有了學位和很高的GPA, 你也不見得就為工作做好了準備。作為一名學生,應該把大學生涯看作是四年人生經驗而非只是一堆學分來好好計劃。

　　Start a business in your 1***dorm room. It's cheap, Google and Yahoo are dying to buy yourwebsite, and it's better than washing dishes in the 2***cafeteria.

　　第二,從宿舍開始做生意。這很便宜,谷歌、雅虎都會爭先恐後地收購你的網站,這比在大學食堂裡洗盤子好多了。

　　Get involved on campus. When it comes to career succes emotional 3***intelligence—socialskills to read and lead others—gets you farther than knowledge or job 4***competence.

　　第三,積極參加校園活動。論及事業成功,情商——具有讀懂並領導別人的社交技能——比起知識或工作能力,對你更有幫助。

　　Play a sport. People who play sports earn more money than 5***couch potatoes, and women 6***executives who played sports 7***attribute much of their career success to their athleticexperience. You don't need to be great at sport you just need to be part of a team.

　　第四,參加體育運動。玩運動的人要比整天看電視的人收入高。參加過體育運動的女性行政人員事業成功的原因很大程度上要歸功於其運動經歷。你無需在運動上表現出色,而只需參與其中。

　　Separate your expectations from those of your parents. Otherwise you wake up and realizeyou're not living your own life.

　　第五,別遵循父母的期待生活。否則你醒來後會發現你過的不是屬於自己的生活。

　　Try new things that you're not good at. Ditch the superstar mentality that if you don't reach thetop, become president, get an A+, or get promoted to editor-in-chief, then the efforts wereworthless. It's important to learn to enjoy things without getting 8***recognition.

　　第六,嘗試一些你並不擅長的新事物。拋棄那些名韁利鎖:覺得如果不能成為第一名,當不了學生會主席,拿不了A+的優異成績,或晉升到總編的位置,那麼一切努力都是無意義的。重要的是學著去享受那些無需他人讚賞肯定的事情。

　　Define success for yourself. Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining successas financial gain or 9***accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personalhappiness.

　　第七,自己定義成功。社會對成功的定義很狹隘。與其把成功定義為經濟上的收穫或嘉獎,不如將其定義為個人興趣和快樂所在。

　　Make your job search a priority. Jobs do not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a good one. It's a job to look for a job. Use 10***spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early.

　　第八,要優先考慮求職此事。工作要自己去找,特別是好工作,不要等著天上掉餡餅。把找工作看成是一項工作。使用電子表格來記錄你的進度,並早日作計劃。

　　Take a course in happiness. Happiness study is revolutionizing how we think of psychology, economic and sociology. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic.

　　第九,修讀關於“幸福”的課程。關於“幸福”的研究就是要革新我們對心理學、經濟學和社會學的認知。首先要學會更積極地看待問題。

　　Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most 11***authentic selves. Youneed to learn to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected.

　　第十,修讀表演課。實際上最好的演員只是在演繹最真實的自己。你要學習真誠地與別人溝通,讓他人願意聆聽併產生共鳴。

　　Learn to give a 12***compliment. The best compliments are specific. Practice on yourprofessors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you're smarter: a big payoffin college, but a bigger payoff in the work world.

　　第十一,學會讚美別人。最好的讚美該是言之有物的。可以把你的教授當作練習物件。如果你讚美別人得當,對方會覺得你較為聰敏:在校園內能有豐厚的回報,在工作中更顯其效。

　　Use the career center. These people are experts at positioning you in the workforce and theironly job is to get you a job. How can you not love this place? If you find yourself thinking thepeople at your college's career center are idiot it's probably a sign that you really, really don'tknow what you're doing.

　　第十二,好好利用求職中心。這些專業人員會幫你在勞動市場中找準定位,他們的唯一工作就是幫你就業。你怎能不愛上這個地方?如果你覺得在大學求職中心裡面的人是傻子,那很可能是因為你根本不知道自己在幹什麼。

　　Develop a strong sense of self by 13***dissing colleges that reject you. Happy people have a moredurable sense of self and aren't as 14***buffeted by outside events. When bad things happen, don't take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quicklyfrom setbacks.

　　第十三,增強自我意識,敢於鄙視那些沒有錄取你的大學。快樂的人擁有更持久的自我意識,不容易被外界的事情擊倒。當不幸的事發生,不要往心裡面去。大多數商業成功人士就是這樣從挫折中迅速重拾自信的。

　　Get rid of your perfectionist 15***streak. It is rewarded in college, but it leads to insane jobstress and an inability to feel satisfied with your work.

　　第十四,戒掉完美主義的脾性。在大學,力求完美會使你有所回報,但在工作中則會產生令人抓狂的工作壓力,並使你無法對你的工作產生滿足感。

　　Work your way through college. Getting involved in student organizations count and so doesfeeding children in 16***Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry building. Eachexperience you have can grow into something bigger. A great bullet on the resume for a juniorin college.

　　第十五,大學期間要積累工作經驗。投身到學生組織中行得通,到獅子山救助饑荒中的兒童或在化學樓裡清潔地板也行。你所經歷的每一種體驗都有聚沙成塔的作用。對於一個大學新生來說,這些舉動在你的履歷上是光彩的一筆。

　　Make to-do lists. You can't achieve dreams if you don't have a plan to get there.

　　第十六,列出行動清單。沒有計劃你是不可能實現自己的夢想的。

　　課外閱讀2

　　While their predecessors have amassed dozens of Nobel prizes and other intellectual accolades, the current crop of undergraduates is focusing on a rather less taxing competition – rear ofthe year.

　　當前輩校友們多次斬獲諾貝爾獎，取得令人刮目的學術成就時，如今的劍橋大學學生卻更熱衷於不太費力的競爭——評選“年度美臀”。

　　Female students at the university have submitted risque photographs of their behinds in thehope of clinching the title.

　　劍橋大學一些女生最近向一個獨立學生網站提交了她們的“美臀***”，以期奪得這一榮譽。

　　They insist it is innocent fun – and male classmates are quick to agree – but critics haveaccused them of harming the feminist cause and the university's reputation.

　　女生們堅稱純粹是“為了好玩”，男生們很快表示肯定，但批評者認為，這有損女權主義運動，並傷害了大學聲譽。

　　The pictures have been sent to independent student website The Tab by women usingpseudonyms and hiding their faces from the camera to protect their identities.

　　女生們使用假名把照片上提交給了獨立學生網站The Tab。為了保護個人隱私，拍攝照片時特意隱去了臉部。

　　Each gives a brief tongue-in-cheek biography with her photograph. While other students areusing the university library to revise for their impending exams, one going by the name ofMeredith stripped down to her underwear to be pictured on tiptoe taking a book from a shelf.

　　每張照片都附上半開玩笑的個人簡介。當其他學生都在用圖書館複習備戰即將到來的考試時，一名自稱“梅瑞狄斯”的女生身著三點式內衣，拍了一張踮腳去書架上方拿書的照片。

　　Bella, who poses in frilly knickers and nude stilettos with her long dark hair tumbling down overa tight-fitting jumper, said: "The trick to looking good in knickers is to wear high heels."

　　另一張照片上，“貝拉”身穿鑲邊短褲，腳蹬裸色高跟鞋，黝黑的長髮披肩，上身穿一件緊身套衫，她說：“穿著短褲還很美的絕招是腳蹬高跟鞋。”

　　Elizabeth, from Homerton College, whose alumni include actress Cherie Lunghi, claims her "firstsexual thoughts were of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

　　來自霍默頓學院的伊麗莎白聲稱，她的“第一次性想法是關於“忍者神龜”。女星切瑞•朗西也畢業於該所學院。

　　The entrants were found through "word of mouth" at the university and the photos sent inthrough anonymous email accounts.

　　參賽者是通過大學中的“口口相傳”找到的，照片以匿名方式通過***傳送。

　　A university source added: "We can't stop what they're doing but it would be fair to say wedon't approve of it. It is not the kind of image we would want to project."

　　而校方人士表示：“我們無法阻止學生的行為，但可以說我們並不贊成這麼做。這不是劍橋大學想釋出的照片。”

　　Male students were generous in their praise, however. Comments posted online included: "High-definition pics from multiple angles would've provided a better comparison."

　　但學校的男生們卻樂於讚揚此事，網上有評論稱“多角度拍攝的高清圖片會讓大家有個更好的比較。”

　　And "Leila" joined the debate herself, saying: "It's given me a bit of a confidence boost. Idon't think it's got anything to do with feminism really."

　　參賽的“利拉”自己為自己辯護說：“這讓我提升了自信。我真不認為這和女權主義有什麼關係。”
