第二单元
有些人认为，国际体育运动能够在国家间增进好感。也有人说正好相反：国际比赛鼓励虚假的民族自豪感，并导致误解和仇恨。有可能双方都有正确的一面，但近年来奥运会在鼓励国际友谊方面做得非常少。不仅曾经有涉及谋杀运动员的悲惨事件，而且比赛受到的破坏也不再是由于意外，而是由于国家间的竞争。
曲棍球决赛第二的成绩激怒了某个国家，在曲棍球比赛结束时场面嘈杂，观众反对最后的裁决。他们深信他们一个射门不应该不算，对手的胜利是不公平的。他们领队愤怒地：“这根本不是曲棍球。曲棍球和国际曲棍球联合会完蛋了“。联合会主席后来说，这种行为可能会导致所在球队至少停赛三年。
在一场比赛后，美国篮球队宣布他们不会把第一的位子让给俄罗斯。这次比赛以混乱结束。开始认为美国队赢了1分，但随后又宣布还有三秒钟继续比赛。随后一位俄罗斯选手把球从一端线扔到另一端线，随后另一队员投篮命中。这是美国首次失掉了奥运会的篮球比赛。美国球员随后投票决定不接受银牌。
只要运动是由于竞争而比赛，而不是热爱运动，这类事情就会一直发生。在目前的奥运会组织中，鼓励疯狂的爱国主义方面已经走得太远了。

第三单元原文We have saved as a final set of emotions ,the two most imp ortant emotions connected with other people:love and its opposite,hate. Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly,love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many radical emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.
What is love?This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each other's company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.
Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love,brotherly love. and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.
Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and , at the same time ,be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him.We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate him for same precise reason.
Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and it due to anger, jealousy, or some other factors. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, " Is it bad to hate? " The best answer is probably "Sometimes yes and sometimes no. " Usually hate does not help us ; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.

第四单元原文 One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us nearer to the idea of “equal opportunity”. Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways. Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15. It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after16. It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you”.

提高离校年龄（ROSLA）最强的原因之一是，它会带给我们更接近了“机会均等”的​​理念。很多人喜欢认为我们目前的教育系统提供大量的步骤了聪明的孩子成功的阶梯。这将是良好的，认为没有一个人是真明丽可以错过时的状态显然是如此彻底。这是显而易见的，例如，许多孩子从较富有的家庭达到大学或以其他方式。不幸的是，我们现在有充足的证据，许多孩子的每一个能力水平比他们差得多。例如，在国家兵役的岁月中，它是可以测试的所有男性18-20岁的情报。那些谁被放置在能力最高的两个组的士兵中有一半已经离开学校15。它也被证明，工人阶级的子女上大学的比例几乎是相同的，因为它在1939年。 5000名儿童从出生到21岁的一项研究表明，高达一半来自工人阶级家庭的美好学生离开学校，当他们到达16岁。此外，有没有两性之间的智力差异，但更多的男生比女生留在教育after16。它是明确的，这和许多其他的证据表明，许多儿童仍然为时尚早受益奖品的钱，社会的尊敬，和有趣的工作，其中高等教育提供离校。这是明确的太多，这样的孩子离开的原因有很多做与他们的社会环境。他们的父母往往需要另一个打工仔可以带来额外的钱，他们不这样做本身的价值教育，因为他们自己可能是沉闷和不快。这是没有这么多，他们强迫自己的儿子和女儿离开学校，而他们往往会说，“这是给你”。

Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.
Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has writtena well-known book on the subject,“the privileged ones,” and his research shows that too much money in family can cause as many problems as too little.” Obviously there are certain advantage to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor,” such as better health, education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”
It can buy a lot of other things, however, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them that spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which cause feelings of restlessness.
“But privileged children do have a better sense of their position in world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. “However, they will have a sense of isolation,” warns Dr Coles, ”and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.”
Today wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than happiness to their children. So the first thing forthem to consider is to ensure that their family are as rich in love as they are in money生命真应该是为有财富世界在他们脚下的孩子出生的喜悦漫长的旅途。
国际知名儿童医生罗伯特科尔斯是世界上有关货币对儿童的影响高级专家。他写了一本关于这一主题的著名著作“特权者”和他的研究表明，过多的钱可以在家庭和过少造成的许多问题。“显然有一定的优势，是丰富的，”说53岁的老医生“，如更好的健康，教育和未来的工作前景。但最重要的是家庭生活的质量。金钱不能买到爱情。“
它可以买很多其他的事情，然而，这就是麻烦的开始。丰富孩子们的困惑，他们往往会成为这么多的选择。过度放纵他们的父母可以使他们宠坏了。他们往往比其他旅行从家里孩子多，为家庭和国家的国家，引起不安的感觉。
“但是孩子们有特权他们在世界上的地位更好地了解，”科尔斯先生补充说，“他们更自信。”富人的子女继承其父母的财产，并享有很高的收入。因此，金钱永远是他们的问题之一。 “不过，他们将有一个孤立的感觉，”科尔斯博士警告说，“他们可能从没有能够处理日常世界艰难，因为他们永远不会得到真正的机会。他们取得的一切是因为一出生意外。不可能有巨大的内在满意度有关。“
今天，富裕的父母也许可以实现自己的财富可能比他们的孩子幸福，更沉重的负荷。因此，他们首先要考虑的是要确保他们的家人都在爱富有，他们在金钱。
