1、Unit 1Text A A Story About Stress 一個(gè)關(guān)于壓力的故事Barry trips over his kids' toys on the way out of the door, yells at his wife, and sits in traffic jam on his way to work. When he arrives at his office, muscles tensed, he

2、stares at his computer and prepares to answer the 42 e-mails he has so far. 巴里越過他孩子的玩具在走出門口,對他的妻子大吼大叫,坐在交通堵塞在上班的路上。當(dāng)他到達(dá)他的辦公室,肌肉繃緊,他盯著電腦,準(zhǔn)備回復(fù)他迄今為止的 42 電子郵件。In addition, there's a mountain of work to be done; that mean

7、在北美離婚率高達(dá) 62%。This sounds dramatic, but for many of us it has become our life. Whether we're a farmer, a fisherman, or a banker — we're stressed, burnt-out and overloaded; and the stress is killing us.這聽起來引人注目,但我們

8、中的許多人已經(jīng)成為我們的生活。無論我們農(nóng)民,漁夫,或一個(gè)銀行家——我們被強(qiáng)壓力,燒毀或超載,壓力是殺死我們。 A recent survey reported that 51% of the population works 40-60 hours a week; and 12% work more than 60 hours a week.最近的一項(xiàng)調(diào)查報(bào)告稱,51%的人口工作了 40 - 60 小時(shí)一個(gè)星期,,12%的人每周工作超過

9、 60 小時(shí)。 There's an epidemic of overwork these days and we're paying the price for it. Stress is a “wear and tear“ disease. Certain diseases have increased — Prostate Cancer in men, Breast Cancer in women, Type II

18、活不是一個(gè)電視真人秀。“We're living a martyr lifestyle. It's time to re-assess where we are and where we need to be,“ says Lynda Miller, co-author of BY FORCE OR BY CHOICE, Managing Stress in the Workplace. “When my associa

21、tting to be a “selfish society“; losing some of our social graces; ethical and moral values being eroded on the way. In these days of global links and an ever increasing pace of life, we all feel that we have too much to

22、 do, and never have time to do it in.我們似乎失去了平衡,我們的常識(shí)和耐心的地方。我們是一個(gè)“自私的社會(huì)”,失去我們的一些社交禮儀,倫理和道德價(jià)值觀被侵蝕。在這些天的全球聯(lián)系和不斷增加的生活節(jié)奏,我們都覺得我們有太多事情要做,從來都沒有時(shí)間去做。 我站在廚房里,看著艾莉讓一杯冰茶。她的臉,曾經(jīng)那么開放和信任,對我來說是封閉。我努力想對她說,有意義的和溫暖的。我想讓她知道她選擇的大學(xué),我很興奮,我知道她

23、的生活剛剛開始的冒險(xiǎn),我為她感到驕傲。但表情很憤怒,我想她可能蛞蝓我如果我打開我的嘴。One night—after a long period of silence between us—I asked what I might have done or said to make her angry with me. She sighed and said, “Mum, you haven't done anything. I

24、t's fine.“ It is fine—just distant.一個(gè)漫漫長夜之間長時(shí)間的沉默讓我可能做什么或說讓她生我的氣。她嘆了口氣,說:“媽媽,你沒有做任何事情。它很好?！斑@是感覺好遙遠(yuǎn)的距離。Somehow in the past we always found some way to connect. When Allie was a toddler, I would go to the day-care cent

25、er after work. I'd find a quiet spot and she would nurse—our eyes locked together, reconnecting.以某種方式在過去我們總是發(fā)現(xiàn)一些連接的方法。艾莉一個(gè)蹣跚學(xué)步的時(shí)候,下班后我會(huì)去日托中心。我想找一個(gè)安靜的地方,她會(huì)深深望著我我們的眼睛鎖在一起,重新連接。In her early teen, when other mothers were

35、on her bed, reading Emily Dickinson until I say I have always loved Emily Dickinson, and then she closes the book.但是當(dāng)她準(zhǔn)備離開,艾莉的感情已轉(zhuǎn)入地下。當(dāng)我到達(dá)觸摸她的胳膊,她一把推開。她拒絕了所有的邀請我擴(kuò)展。她躺在床上,讀艾米麗迪金森,直到我說我一直喜歡艾米麗迪金森,然后她合上了書。Some say the tight

39、有時(shí)感到很生氣,我想去動(dòng)搖艾莉。我想說,“跟來講你腳踏實(shí)地!“我感到自己想說,最可怕的是母親的短語:“想我為你做的一切?！盠ate one night, as I'm getting ready for bed, she comes to the bathroom door and watches me brush my teeth. For a moment, I think I must be brushing my tee
