1. 新視野大學英語讀寫教程第二冊unit6英語課文原文
For her first twenty-four years, she'd been known as Debbie—a name that didn't suit her good looks and elegant manner.
"My name has always made me think I should be a cook," she complained. "I just don't feel like a Debbie."
One day, while filling out an application form for a publishing job, the young woman impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name Debbie.
"返檔That was the smartest thing I ever did," she says now.
"As soon as I stopped calling myself Debbie, I felt more comfortable with myself... and other people started to take me more seriously."
Two years after her successful job interview, the former waitress is now a successful magazine editor.
Friends and associates call her Lynne.
Naturally, the name change didn't cause Debbie/Lynne's professional achievement—but it surely helped if only by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talents.
Social scientists say that what you're called can affect your life.
Throughout history, names have not merely identified people but also described them.
"As his name is, so is he." says the Bible, and Webster's Dictionary includes the following definition of name: "a word or words expressing some quality considered characteristic or descriptive of a person or a thing, often expressing approval or disapproval".
Note well "approval or disapproval".
For better or worse, qualities such as friendliness or reserve,plainness or charm may be suggested by your name and conveyed to other people before they even meet you.
Names become attached to specific images, as anyone who's been called "a plain Jane" or "just an average Joe" can show.
The latter name particularly bothers me since my name is Joe, <p10>嘩世碼which some think makes me more qualified to be a baseball player than, say, an art <19>critic<亂哪/19>.
Yet, despite this disadvantage, I did manage to become an art critic for a time.
Even so, one prominent magazine consistently refused to print "Joe" in my by-line, using my first initials, J. S., instead.
I suspect that if I were a more refined Arthur or Adrian, the name would have appeared complete.
Of course, names with a positive sense can work for you and even encourage new acquaintances.
A recent survey showed that American men thought Susan to be the most attractive female name, while women believed Richard and David were the most attractive for men.
One woman I know <p14>turned down a blind date with a man named Harry because "he sounded ll".
Several evenings later, <p15>she came up to me at a party, pressing for an introction to a very impressive man; they'd been exchanging glances all evening.
"Oh," I said. "You mean Harry."
She was ill at ease.
Though most of us would like to think ourselves free from such prejudiced notions, we're all guilty of name stereotyping to some extent.
Confess: Wouldn't you be surprised to meet a carpenter named Nigel? A physicist</30> named Bertha? A Pope Mel? Often, <p19>we project name-based stereotypes on people, as one woman friend discovered while taking charge of a <33>nursery school</33>'s group of four-year-olds.
"There I was, trying to get a little active boy named Julian to sit quietly and read a book—<p21>and pushing a thoughtful creature named Rory to play ball.
I had their personalities confused because of their names!"
Apparently, such prejudices can affect classroom achievement as well.
In a study concted by Herbert Harari of San Diego State University, and John McDavid of Georgia State University, teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays apparently written by boys named Elmer and Hubert than they awarde to the same papers when the writers' names were given as Michael and David. However, teacher prejudice isn't the only source of classroom difference.
Dr. Thomas V. Busse and Louisa Seraydarian of Temple University found those girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, Carol, and Cindy <p22>performed better on objectively graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names.
(A companion study showed girls' popularity with their peers was also related to the popularity of their names―although the connection was less clear for boys.)
Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it they'd hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they valued when they chose it may not match yours.
If your name no longer seems to fit you, don't despai ; you aren't stuck with the label
Movie stars regularly change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.

請問還有什麼疑問嗎？
《新視野大學英語（第二版）》的課文翻譯
人們通常批評說：社會學研究不遺餘力去證明的只是一些大多數有常識的人都已經知道的東西。
我並不想明確表示支援或反對此類批評，只是想描述一次社會學考察活動，這次活動似乎也證明了人們的上述說法──但對於我和我的一位同學（也許還有那些看到這篇報道的人）而言，這次活動使一個人人皆知的觀點變得真真切切了。
在本地一所大學放春假期間，我和朋友到市中心去購物。
但是我們首先把自己打扮得幾乎連朋友甚至家人都認不出來。
我們穿上了與天氣稍稍不配的衣服，雖很乾凈但沒有熨過。很明顯，大多數到這個地區來的遊客都不會穿這種式樣的衣服。
我們提著塑料袋，裡面裝著雜七雜八的物品。
我倆都有點衣冠不整。
我的朋友在T恤衫外面套了一件褪了色的全棉襯衣，還在運動褲外面套了一條皺巴巴的裙子。
我戴著一頂羊毛帽子把頭發掩蓋住，穿著一件老式的外套，並戴一副夾著遮陽鏡片的眼鏡。
我們的目的是為了讓自己看上去像漂泊街頭的人，以觀察別人對我們會有何不同反應——貧窮的外表是否會招致別人對我們的歧視。
我們也准備做出一些稍微有點不正常的行為，以表明我們精神上有點問題，但看上去又不是神經很不正常或對他人具有危險性。
結果證明：我們無須誇張做作，人們單憑我們的穿著就叫我們離開或不理睬我們。
我們 (把汽車停在鐵路附近以後) 的第一個停留地點是由一家本地慈善團體經營的廉價商店。在店裡我們彬彬有禮地請求使用洗手間，但卻被拒絕了。
接著我們走進了一家大旅館的大堂，打聽咖啡廳和洗手間在哪裡。
門衛說：「你們得上20樓。」
我們的演技還達不到上高檔餐廳一試身手的水平，所以我們在底樓兜了一圈就走了。
離開那裡後，我們就去了一家舊貨商店，在那裡我們多多少少和顧客融為一體了。然後我們又到了幾家高檔商店，吃午飯的時候又去了幾家咖啡館。
這一段時間我們飽受歧視。
我們遇到了一些孩子，他們盯著我們看，對我們指指點點，而且還放聲大笑；成年人用充滿懷疑的目光看著我們。
商店營業員緊緊地跟著我們，監視我們的一舉一動。
在一家快餐店，一個幫工趕緊走到收銀員的身邊。他們收下了我兩美元的支票，連身份證也沒看。好像用這個代價把我們趕出門是很合算的。
在一個入口處，一名營業員用身體擋住了大門，顯然是想打消我們進去的念頭。
我們身上有些錢，可買些小東西，而且除了穿低檔衣服外，我們沒有在上述任何情況下做過任何吸引他人注意力的事：我們僅僅是以我們習慣的方式靜靜地購物。
在一個飯店裡，我們點了法式小麵包，另加兩杯特製咖啡，這確實暴露了我們的身份：這也許與女流浪者的身份太不相稱。
在所有其他地方，我們受到嘲弄、被人模仿、遭遇懷疑及無禮的目光。
我們了解到什麼呢？ 在很大程度上是我們所預料到的、人所共知的東西：人們以貌取人。
僅僅是外表寒酸就會招來歧視，同時在很多場合，我們大多數人視為理所當然的社交禮儀也不復存在了。
因為我們缺少在文化上可被認同的屬於這個環境的標志，在某種程度上，我們就成了物品，缺少了做人所固有的尊嚴。
然而，還有一件讓人感到吃驚的事──更准確地講，是讓人感到震驚的事。
在我先前提到過的那家商店門口，就是有位營業員──見到我們就明顯地堵住大門的那家商店，這種令人震驚的事表現得最為突出。
那時我剛注意到這個地方，轉向我的同伴，對她說：「我從未見過這家商店。咱們進去吧。」
她居然驚慌地看著我說：「你不是真地想進去吧？」
我知道她的意思，我也理解她的感受。
這不是我們該去的地方。
沒過幾小時， 我們發覺自己正在接受並適應著那些我們遇到的人所普遍持有的膚淺看法和偏見；我們也對自己進行了歸類。
毫無疑問，這是值得學習的一課，對社會學家來說也許更是如此。

Listening In Task 1: A Picture I have a picture that sits on my desk in my bedroom. When I have trouble studying, or I『m worried about an exam, I just take a look at it. It is a picture of my best friends taken years ago when we were in high school. It reminds me of the good time we『ve shared and the support their friendship still gives me today. Even though our lives have gone in different directions, the bond we created has kept us close. Every week I get a message on my answering machine from one of them, or a letter in the mail with the latest news or vacation photos. I often get e-mail with a joke for the day, or words of comfort about some problems in my life. My friends have shown up for surprise birthday parties, and one of them even traveled two hours from the other end of town just to watch
my first English speech contest. Our friendship has carried me through a lot of difficult experiences, and has enriched the good ones. It is the kind of friendship that outlasts disagreements, changes, and separation. 1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.B Task 2: Problem of Meeting People As a foreign student, I have a number of problems, both academically and socially. The biggest one is meeting people. I feel confident about my ability to cope with problems from my studies, but I『m not comfortable making friends with other students, especially local ones. Perhaps I『m worrying unnecessarily, but I find it difficult to talk to them and to make friends. The primary reasons is the language barrier. My English is quite standard and forma, and although that helps me with my academic work, I have trouble understanding other students when they are just talking. It seems to me that in order to meet with other students I really need informal, colloquial English. Besides, there『s the cultural gap. That『s why it『s so difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other. I really want to overcome this difficulty. I guess the best way to begin is to start talking about course work that we share; and then I could suggest going for a cup of tea or coffee. Over coffee we could get to know each other. Another way would be to join a club, like a tennis club or a photo club, because that immediately gives you something in common with other people there. It gives you a starting point to build on. 1.

The language barrier is the main reason why he finds it hard to make friends with local students. 4. It is difficult for overseas students and native English speaking students to really get to know each other because there is the cultural gap. 5. Te best way for the overseas students to actually overcome the difficulty of making friends with native English speaking students is to start talking about course work. Task 3: Long Distance Friendships I have quite a few long distance friendships. How do I maintains these relationships? Well, I believe friendship is very important, But I also think friendship really needs tending—like plants in the garden. It『s important to keep up to date with my friends, something that『s hard to do with long distances between us. But over the years I have managed to stay very tight with my friends, even though distances separate us. Jane lives in another city, and she『s not much for writing letters, so we talk on the phone at least once a week, usually for an hour at a time. We take turns calling each other, so I stay close to her through the phone. My phone bills are high, but I consider them just another living expense, like rent. Other friends I e-mail. I have one friend who just isn『t into writing letters. I『ve known her for a long time. We『ve always considered ourselves friends, but over time I『ve always been in and out of touch with her. But she is always on-line—e-mail is her thing. Since I『ve gotten an e-mail address, I e-mail her twice a week. Now, I『m back in good touch with her. She『ll often sit down and write me e-mail, but she just wouldn『t do it with pen and paper. E-mail『s really a great way to keep in touch with friends. 1.maintain 2.tending 3.date 4.phone 5.turns 6.bills 7.expenses 8.e-mail 10.touch
