It was barely ten oclock at night. When he had

2、 walked about halfway around a certain block, the policeman suddenly slowed down. In the doorway of a store stood a man, with an unlit cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to him the man spoke up quickly.巡逻的警察像往常一样沿着街道走着。还不到晚上十点。当他走过一个街区大 约一半的时候， 警察突然放慢了速度。在一家商店的门口站着一个男人，嘴里叼着一支未点燃的雪茄。当警察 走

3、近他时，那人很快地大声说起了话。“Its all right, officer/1 he said. 4lPm just waiting for a friend. Its an appointment made twenty years ago. There used to be a restaurant where this store stands- BigJoe1 Bradys restaurant/1“没事的，警官，”他说。“我只是在等一个朋友。这是一个二十年前做的约定。这家商店 所在的地方以前有一家餐馆一一，大乔布雷迪，餐馆。”It was here until five year

4、s ago, said the policeman. uIt was torn down then/*“五年前它还在这里，”警察说。“后来它被拆除了。”The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar. The light showed a pale face, with keen eyes, a square jaw and a little white scar near his right eyebrow. His scarfpin was a large diamond, oddly set.站在门口的人划了一根火柴，点燃了

5、雪茄。灯光Practice makes perfect. Keep at it until you can concisely and confidently present your best self.一旦你对公司和职位做了充分的了解，就把在面试过程中可能被问到的问题列出来，然后 思考如何最好地回答这些问题。更好的方法是和朋友一起练习面试。你可以把面试过程录下来， 回顾一下自己的表现。注意你的声音和肢体语言。熟能生巧。坚持下去，直到你能够简洁、自 信地展示你最好的自己。Prepare to make a good first impression. Dress appropriately

6、for your interview and gentlemen, be sure to have a good shave. Get a good nights rest so that you feel and look refreshed. Check the address of the interview, decide what mode of transport to use and allow extra time for traffic delays. Remember, be an early bird and arrive at least half an hour be

7、fore your confirmed interview time.准备好留下良好的第一印象。面试时穿着得体，先生们，一定要刮胡子。晚上好好休息， 这样你会感觉精神焕发。检查面试地点，决定使用何种交通方式，为交通延误留出额外的时间。 记住，要做一个早起的人，至少在确定面试 时回前半小时到达。For the duration of the interview, listen carefully to the question, and if you need clarification, it is not rude to say so. When answering, try to find

8、 the right conversational balance by giving all the information an interviewer needs to get a complete picture of you without talking too much. Justify yourself with relevant examples from your personal experience and be specific about your achievements. However, youfll also need to pay attention to

9、 the interviewers responses to determine whether to provide more details or not.在面试的过程中，仔细听问题，如果你需要澄清，那么说出来并不是不礼貌的。在回答问 题的时候，试着在对话中找到恰当的平衡，把所有面试官需要的信息都告诉他，让他不费太多 口舌就能对你有一个全面的了解。用你个人经历中的相关例子来证明你自己，并具体说明你的 成就。然而，你也需要注意面试官的回答，以决定是否提供更多的细节。The interviewer can infer a lot from your body language. Positiv

10、e body language conveys the impression that you are confident and relaxed. So start with a firm handshake and a genuine smile when greeting the interviewer. While speaking, make constant eye contact but do not stare fixedly at the interviewer. Keep your back straight throughout the interview. Negati

11、ve body language such as yawning, looking around and crossing your arms, is to be avoided because it implies that you are bored, anxious or defensive.面试官可以从你的肢体语言中推断出很多信息。积极的肢体语言给人一种自信和放松的印 象。所以当你和面试官打招呼的时候，首先要握手坚定，并报以真诚的微笑。说话的时候，要 保持眼神交流，但不要盯着面试官看。在整个面试过程中保持背部挺直。要避免消极的肢体语 言，比如打哈欠、环顾四周、交叉双臂，因为这暗示着你感

12、到无聊、焦虑或有戒心。Towards the end of the interview, dont forget to seize the moment and ask questions. An interview is a two-way street. Ask questions that give you a better 终身 学习The more I learn, the better I know how much there is still left to learn. As I journey through my life, I have become aware tha

13、t acquiring knowledge is not only a means by which you can better understand the world, but also a way of appreciating how much, as an individual, you do not know. The ability to admit this should be perceived not as a weakness, but as a strength. I once had an art teacher who pointed out that it is

14、 not only what you can see that is important, but also what you cannot see. When I drew a still life, it was impressed upon me that the blank spaces between the objects were just as vital to the success of the composition as the actual objects themselves. Also, as the great educator Confucius stated

15、, When you know a thing, to recognize that you know it and when you do not know a thing, to recognize that you do not know it - that is knowledge!H我学得越多，就越知道还有多少东西要学。在我的人生旅途中，我己经意识到，获取知识 不仅是一种更好地理解世界的方式，也是一种感激作为一个个体，你不知道多少东西的方式。 承认这一点的能力不应被视为一种弱点，而应被视为一种优势。我曾经有一个美术老师，他指 出，不仅你能看到的东西很重要，你不能看到的东西也很重要。当

16、我画静物时，我意识到物体之间的空白对于成功的构图和物体本身一样重要。正如伟大的教育家孔子所说：“当你知道一 件事时，要认识到你知道它；当你不知道一件事时，要认识到你不知道 它一一这就是知识!It is vital to remain lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world. As you progress through life, you may study and work in new environments. Consequently, you will be exposed to many new ideas, beliefs,

17、practices and learning experiences. Furthermore, the production of knowledge is bound to grow rapidly. New knowledge is constantly being generated and what we already know is being revised all the time, to the extent that it can be difficult to keep pace with the latest developments. Indeed, you may

18、 one day do jobs that do not yet exist, usetechnologies not yet developed and resolve problems that are not yet problems! This is not to suggest that there is no need for you to study in school but to acknowledge that refreshing your knowledge with lifelong learning is both essential and beneficial.

19、在这个瞬息万变的世界里，终身学习是至关重要的。随着生活的进步，你可能会在新的环 境中学习和工作。因此，你会接触到许多新的思想、信仰、实践和学习经验。此外，知识的生 产必然会迅速增长。新知识不断产生，我们已经知道的东西一直在被修改，以至于很难跟上最 新的发展。的确，有一天你可能会做一些还不存在的工作，使用尚未开发的技术，解决尚未成 为问题的问题！这并不是说你没有必要在学校学习，而是要认识到，通过终身学习来更新知识 是必不可少的，也是有益的。So, how can you proceed? Firstly, lifelong learning is an attitude. Lifelong le

20、arners are those who have an open mind. Be objective and make yourself open to new knowledge and ideas. Do not criticize them or reject them simply because they differ from what you know and believe. At the same time, lifelong learners need to develop critical thinking skills so that they do not bli

21、ndly accept new ideas. Instead, they should inquire further to assess the truth of what they are being told. Secondly, take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning - fbr example, you could register online and subscribe to e-learning courses, which have increased in recent years. Ybu could a

22、lso visit the local library where the resources are rich and diverse. Finally, understand that it is not sufficient to simply know something or to understand what you know, because for knowledge to have concrete value, it must be applied. Importantly, after its application, there must then follow a

23、review process of analysis, evaluation and improvement so that your comprehension of the world in which you live becomes a continuous process.那么，如何开始行动呢？首先，终身学习是一种态度。终身学习者是那些思想开放的人。 要客观接受新知识和新思想。不要仅仅因为他们与你所知道和相信的不同就批评或拒绝他们。 与此同时，终身学习者需要培养批判性思维的能力，这样他们就不会盲目地接受新思想。相反， 他们应该进一步询问，以评估他们被告知的事实的真实性。其次，要抓住机

24、会终身学习一一例 如，你可以在网上注册并订阅在线学习课程，这类课程近年来有所增加。你也可以参观当地的 图书馆，那里的资源丰富多样。最后，要明白，仅仅知道一些东西或理解你所知道的东西是不 够的，因为知识要有具体的价值，它必须被应用。重要 的是，在应用之后，必须有一个分析、 评估和改进的回顾过程，这样你对你所 生活的世界的理解就会成为一个持续的过程。In summary, in a world of constant changes, one should never cease to learn, because lifelong learning will not only build hum

25、an capital and improve a career, but also boost self-worth, promote cognition, renew beliefs, and enhance physical and mental health. Therefore, know what you know and use it; know what you do not, know and embrace it; know that you will never know all there is to know and wonder in it.综上所述，在一个不断变化的

26、世界里，一个人应该永不停止学习，因为终身学习不仅可以 建立人力资本，提高职业生涯，还可以提升自我价值，促进认 知，更新信念，增强身心健康。 因此，知道你所知道的并使用它；知道你所不知道的，了解它，拥抱它；要知道，你永远不可 能知道所有的事情，也不可能在其中感到惊奇。Extended readingMy university life我的大学生活I had been waiting with my fellow graduating students for the moment when 1 would walk out onto the stage to receive my degree

27、certificate. 1 was happy and relieved, yet worried and anxious about the future. What was my first job going be like? This short walk was going to launch me into a whole new world. How would 1 manage? Would I be able to carve out a career for myself? My name was called and I moved into the lights. I

28、 heard the applause. I knew my parents would be watching and smiling at each other and I tried to relax, I held my certificate to my breast and smiled at the camera. Before 1 knew it, the ceremony was over and the curtain had come down on my university life. Where had the time gone? Four years had d

29、isappeared in a flash. I stood with my certificate in hand and reflected on those four years.我和一同毕业的同学们一直在等待走上台领取学位证书的那一刻。我既高兴又放心，但又 担心又担心未来。我的第一份工作是什么样子的?这段短短的散步将带我进入一个全新的世界。 我该怎么办呢?我能开创自己的事业吗？有人叫我的名字，我就走到灯光下。我听到了掌声。我 知道我的父母会看着我，对着对方微笑，我试着放松，我把我的证书放在胸前，对着镜头微笑。 我还没反应过来，毕业典礼就结束了，我的大学生活也落下了帷幕。时间都到哪里去了

30、？转眼 四年就过去了。我站在那里，手里拿着毕业证，回想着这四年。I remembered arriving at university on my very first day, pausing at the gates to look down the long drive. I could feel my hands sweating slightly and I had to hold on tight to my suitcase. Would I be able to fit in? Did this new phase of my life mean that I was now

31、mature enough to be entirely responsible for my own successes and failures? I took a few seconds to compose myself and to take in the scene that was laid out before me. The campus was alive with people. Anxious parents and excited students were talking in small groups, carrying boxes and suitcases o

32、r walking in and out of dormitory buildings. I wondered if the first day of school was always such a circus. I took a deep breath and carried on into the heart of the campus.Little did I know that I was about to experience the best four years of my life.我记得上大学的第一天，我在大门口停下来，看着漫长的车程。我可以感觉到我的手在冒 汗，我不得不

33、紧紧地抓着我的手提箱。我能适应吗?人生的这个新阶段是否意味着我现在己经足 够成熟，可以为自己的成功和失败完全负责？我花了几秒钟让自己镇定下来，欣赏着展现在我 面前的景象。校园里人山人海。焦虑的家长和兴奋的学生们正三五成群地交谈，有的拎着箱子， 有的在宿舍里进进出出。我在想，开学的第一天是不是总是那么热闹。我深吸了一口气，继续 进入校园的中心。我不知道我即将经历我生命中最美好的四年。I remembered working on my first assignment. It was a 3,000-word essay on geometry and I wasnt really sure h

34、ow to begin the first paragraph. Instead of seeking good advice, I kept putting it off. Rather unwisely, I left it to the las minute. When the deadline approached, I had to stay up working on my laptop all night completing it. The next day I felt ill and started coughing and sneezing. Unsurprisingly

35、, it wasnt a very good essay. However, this taught me a valuable lesson: as soon as I received the next assignment, I headed straight for the library to find the reference books I needed for my research, and then created an outline followed by a draft. After careful editing and polishing, the result

36、 was a much better essay than the last, and it was ready in my desk drawer days before the deadline. I would stick to this approach for the duration of my studies.我还记得我的第一个任务。那是一篇3000字的几何论文，我不知道第一段该怎么开头。 我没有寻求好的建议，而是一直拖延。我很不明智地把它留到 最后一刻。当截止日期临近时， 我不得不在我的笔记本电脑上通宵工作来完成它。第二天，我感到不舒服，开始咳嗽和打喷嚏。 不出所料，这不是一篇

37、很好的文章。然而，这给我上了宝贵的一课:一接到下一个作业，我就直 奔图书馆去 找我研究所需的参考书，然后创建一个大纲，接着是草稿。经过仔细的编辑和 润 色，这篇文章比上一篇好得多，在截止日期前几天就已经放在我的书桌抽屉 里了。在我的整个学习过程中，我都会坚持这种方法。I remembered cooperating with my classmates on group projects. Everyone would be assigned a specific task, and my role was usually to produce the presentation slides.

38、 We would meet in the school cafeteria to bounce ideas off each other, and would laugh and argue and laugh some more as we learnt to work together as a team. I realized that learning didn*t have to be a solo effort and that working with other people could be much more stimulating and productive than

39、 working independently.我记得与同学合作完成小组项目。每个人都会被分配到一个特定的任务，而我的角色通常 是制作幻灯片。我们会在学校的自助餐厅见面，互相交流想法，当我们学会像团队一样工作时， 我们会笑，会争论，笑得更多。我意识到学习并不一定是一个人的努力，和其他人一起工作可 以比独立工作更刺激和更有成效。I remembered visiting my favourite professor, a tall gentleman with his beard and hair going grey, during his office hours fbr the first

40、time. Initially, I found his strictness intimidating, but quickly came to admire him for his vast knowledge and deep understanding of his subject. It soon dawned on me that many university professors are quite willing to share what they know, and they do take a genuine interest in their students* in

41、tellectual development.我记得第一次在我最喜欢的教授的办公时何去拜访他，他是一位高个的绅士，胡子和头发 都开始花白了。起初，我觉得他的严格令人生畏，但很快我就开始钦佩他渊博的知识和对学科 的深刻理解。我很快意识到，许多大学教授非常愿意分享他们的知识，而且他们确实对学生的 知识水平的发展非常感兴趣。I heard my parents* voices calling me and returned to the moment. After the graduation ceremony we headed home by train. I looked out of the

42、 carriage window at the world speeding by. The journey home gave me time to think about what the future might hold for me. University has changed me. Not only am I now more intellectually prepared for the world of work, but I am also more confident about my own abilities. I have grown as an adult an

43、d I have also discovered more about myself. Yes, I am ready for a new challenge and the next phase of my life.我听到父母在叫我，回到那一刻。毕业典礼结束后，我们乘火车回家。我从马车的窗户望 出去，看到世界飞驰而过。回家的旅途让我有时间思考我的未来。大学改变了我。现在，我不 仅在思想上为工作做好了准备，而且对自己的能力也更加自信了。我长大成人了，也对自己有了更多的了解。是的，我己经准备好迎接新的挑战和我人生的下一个阶段。显得苍白他的脸，一双敏锐的眼睛，一个方下巴，右眉毛附近有一条白色的小

I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty.The next morning I was to leave New York and travel to the West to make my fortune. Well,we agreed that night that

45、we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have built a life and made our fortunes?*”20年前的今晚，”那人说，“我和我最好的朋友吉米威尔斯在这里吃过饭。他和我就像两兄 弟。当时我18岁，

Havent you heard from your friend since you left?”听起来很有趣，警察说。不过，两次见面之间的间隔时间相当长。你离开后就没有收到 你朋友的来信吗?“Well,

47、 we kept in touch for a year or two, and then we lost contact. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if hes alive, for he always was the truest and most reliable fellow in the world. Hell never fbrget. I came a thousand miles to stand in this doorway tonight, and it*s worthwhile if my old partner turns

It was threeminutes to ten.那个等着的男人拿出一块镶嵌着小钻石的漂亮手表。现在是十点差三分。Til be on my way, said the policeman. Hope your fri

Bye, officer.“我至少给他半个小时。再见，长官。The man who had come a thousand miles to keep an appointment with the friend of his youth smoked his cigar and waited. About twenty minutes later, a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried toward him.这个人从千里之外赶来，是为了和年轻时的朋友约会，他一边抽着雪茄，一边等待着。大约二 十分钟后，一个身穿长大衣、衣领翘到耳朵的高个子男人匆匆向他走来。Is that you, Bob? he asked, doubtfully.“是你吗，鲍勃？”他疑
