全新版综合大学英语2

随着捐款源源不断地进来，我校明年的财务状况会好很多了。

这样我们就能集中应对我们作为教育工作者必须承担起最重要的任务：

鼓励学生实现他们的学业目的，培养他们成为有责任感、靠得住的人，使他们对将来的生活有所准备，并在他们追求物质及精神满足的过程中给予指导

也许你羡慕我，因为我可以借助计算机在家里工作。

我也这么想，互联网使我的工作方便多了。

我可以通过电子邮件撰写、编辑并交出我的文章，在网上与我的同事聊天，与老板谈论工作。

我用鼠标一击，马上能拿到我要的一切资料，获得最新的消息。

可是，另一方面，用网络通信有时也令人沮丧。

系统有可能瘫痪，更糟糕的是，因为没有面对面交谈的情感提示，键出的词有时候似乎很难理解

众多事实证明这一说法：

要想让自己很快从低落的情绪中解脱出来，你得让自己哭。

你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧。

忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体l

看一看唐娜的例子吧。

她的儿子在一次车祸中不幸去世。

这次打击之大使她欲哭无泪。

她说：

“直到两个星期后的一天，我才开始放声痛哭。

然后，我便觉得好像一块大石头从我的肩膀上抬走了。

是眼泪将我带回到了现实之中，帮助我度过危机。

南希*霍普金斯是麻省理工学院（MIT）得到生物学教授。

她渴望知识，努力工作。

然而，作为一名科学家，她不能不注意校园里男女不平等的各种表现。

男女教授做同样的工作，但是到了提升的时候，行政领导却很有选择性。

具有讽刺意味的是在取得这么多的文化进步以后，妇女在高等学府里却仍然处于不利的地位。

当她增加实验室面积请求被拒之后，她知道她必须抗争。

因此她咬紧牙关向校长申诉，这次抗争以胜利告终，南希也因此变成了男女平等的倡导者。
