我简直等不及想要到18岁了。其中一个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了,但是我依然不能在下一届大选中投票。为什么?因为我依然不满18岁。但是我认为如果一个人已经工作并且交税了,那他应该对政府在支配税收方面有一定的话语权。我也一直在学习驾驶,并且我会在18岁当天就去考驾照。妈妈十分担心我开车,作为一名救护车司机,她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸,她认为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到21岁。但是我觉得自己已经足够成熟,知道开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。

But it wasn't like that.When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend.In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual .Instead of being the selfish teenager , I have begun to feel more aware of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility.To give an example, I will be signing an organ donation agreement this time tomorrow.This was a big decision for me.Of course I asked my parents for their approval first.Turning 18 also changed the way .I was really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer.Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card at some point, but I currently don't have a steady income, so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have!
[课文对译] 林宁 19岁,中国 上海
上大学前我刚满18岁。我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉,就好像自己关闭了童年的大门,踏进一个全新的成人世界。但是事实并非如此。第二天我醒来时,仍然有需要遵守的规则,需要参加的课程。事实上,这种变化比我想象的更微小,更平缓。相比自己之前那个自私的青少年角色,我已经开始更多地关注别人,并且去培养更强烈的社会责任感。比如说,明天这个时候我将会签署器官捐赠意向书。这对我来说是一个重大的决定。当然,我是先征得父母的同意的。满18岁后,社会对待我的方式也改变了。有家银行给我打电话让我办理信用卡的时候,我非常惊讶。虽然我想在花钱方面更为自由,而且毫无疑问我将在未来的某个时间获得一张信用卡,但是我现在还没有稳定的收入,所以现在办理的话可能会让我透支!

I'll be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier.I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don't feel ready to make that kind of commitment, and I .I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
[课文对译] 摩根 20岁,美国 佛罗里达州
人们都说18岁意味着翻开人生的新篇章,我们应该变得更独立。我曾经也这样认为,但是事实并非如此。我以为我一到18岁就能有一份薪水不错的工作,能搬进自己租的公寓,我是多么异想天开呀!作为一个图书管理员,我的工资只够我继续长时间和父母住在一起。因为我要分担家庭账单,而且我的通勤费用很高,所以我发现攒钱非常困难。不过下个月我会开始一份新工作,也许情况能有所好转。我知道我可以通过贷款来支付购买自己公寓的订金,但我还无法向银行做出这种重大的承诺,而且我真的很喜欢吃妈妈做的饭。我觉得要想负起一些责任,更多的是关乎态度,而不是年龄。

It won't be long before I become an adult. I feel more than excited and a little nervous at the same time.
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my parents and teachers, without whom I couldn't have made such great progress in my study and life. Secondly, as an adult, I should learn to be independent. Besides, it's time for me to take it into account what I will take up in the future. I wish to study in a key medical university to become a doctor, using what I will learn to serve our society heart and soul.
Adulthood means hope, challenge and responsibility. I firmly hold the belief that I can do well in the future.

语段1 直面错误
After hearing Sam's explanation, Uncle Tim stopped, looking at Sam with kindness in his eyes.“Sam, everyone makes mistakes.It is how we choose to correct them that matters.As a young adult, you should be brave enough to correct mistakes,” he said in a soft voice.Those words made Sam feel ashamed.Actually, Sam had already realized his mistake, but he needed the courage to correct it.So he thanked Uncle Tim for helping him find it.
听到山姆的解释后,蒂姆叔叔停了下来,用和蔼的眼神看着山姆。“山姆,每个人都会犯错。重要的是我们选择如何纠正错误。作为一个年轻人,你应该有足够的勇气去改正错误,”他轻声说道。这些话让山姆感到羞愧。事实上,山姆已经意识到了自己的错误,但他需要勇气去改正。所以他感谢蒂姆叔叔帮他找到了勇气。
语段 2 正确的选择
I knew what stood between me and the right thing: my image.That was exactly what I feared if I told Jane the truth.I could picture the disappointed look on her face, but what I feared more was the possibility that she would tell others I was that gossiper.Holding the phone in sweating hands, I kept tossing and turning in bed, at a loss about which on earth matters more: preserving my image or telling the truth? After a sleepless night, I finally plucked up courage and determined to speak out the truth, since my so-called image would be just a lie if I remained silent.
我知道是什么横在“我”和“正确的做法”之间——我的形象。我确实很害怕告诉简真相后,我的形象受损。我能想象出她脸上失望的表情,但我更担心的是,她可能会告诉别人我就是那个传播谣言的人。我握着手机,手心冒汗,在床上辗转反侧,不知道到底哪一个更重要:维护我的形象还是说实话?经过一个不眠之夜,我终于鼓起勇气,决心说出真相。因为如果我保持沉默,我所谓的形象将只是一个谎言。
五、主题集群阅读,拓展主题认知
时尚悦读 大学生活
out onto the stage to receive my degree certificate. I was happy and relieved, yet worried and anxious about the future.What was my first job going to be like? This short walk was going to launch me into a whole new world.How would I manage? Would I be able to carve out a career for myself? My name was called and I moved into the lights.I heard the applause.I knew my parents would be watching and smiling at each other and I tried to relax.I held my certificate against my breast and smiled at the camera.Before I knew it, the ceremony was over and the curtain had come down on my university life.Where had the time gone? Four years had disappeared in a flash.I stood with my certificate in hand and reflected on those four years.
I remembered arriving at university on my very first day, pausing at the gate 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 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 suitcases or 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.
I remembered working on my first assignment.It was a 3,000-word essay on geometry and I wasn't even sure how to begin the first paragraph.Instead of seeking good advice, I kept putting it off.Rather unwisely, I left it to the last minute.As the deadline approached, I had to stay up all night working on my laptop to complete it.The next day I felt dizzy and started coughing and sneezing.Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a very good essay.However, this taught me a valuable lesson.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 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.
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. 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 working alone.
I remembered visiting my favourite professor, a tall gentleman with his beard and hair going grey, during his office hours for the first 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' intellectual development.
I heard my parents' voices calling me and I returned to the moment.After the graduation ceremony we headed home by train.I looked out of the 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 and I have also discovered more about myself.Yes, I am ready for a new phase in my life.

[助读译文]
我和同届毕业生们一直等待着登台领取学位证书的那一刻。我心中既高兴又欣慰,同时又对未来感到担忧。我的第一份工作会是什么样的?这短短的几步路将会领我进入一个全新的世界。我该如何应对?我能为自己开创一番事业吗?叫到我的名字了,我走到灯光下。我听见了掌声。我知道我的父母正在看着我,相视而笑,而我试着让自己放松。我把证书抱在胸前,对着镜头微笑。不知不觉中,典礼结束了,我的大学生活已然落下帷幕。时间都去哪儿了?四年时间一晃而过。我手拿证书伫立着,回想起那四年的时光。
我记得来到大学的第一天,我在校门口驻足,望着长长的车道。我能感到自己的双手在微微出汗,我只能紧紧握住行李箱。我能适应吗?我人生的这个新阶段是否意味着我现在已经足够成熟,可以完全为自己的成功和失败负责?我花了几秒钟时间让自己镇定下来,观察着眼前的景象。校园里人来人往。神情焦虑的家长和兴高采烈的学生有的在三三两两地交谈着,有的提着大包小包,有的正出入宿舍楼。我好奇开学第一天是否都是这么热闹。我深吸一口气,继续往校园中心走。我未曾想到,自己即将经历生命中最美好的四年。
我记得我做第一份作业时的情形。那是一篇三千字的几何论文,而我甚至不太确定该怎么开始第一段。我没有去寻求好的建议,而是一直拖着没下笔。相当不明智的是,我拖到了最后一刻。眼看规定期限就要到了,我只能抱着笔记本电脑熬了一整夜,把论文赶了出来。第二天我就感觉头晕,开始咳嗽、打喷嚏。可想而知,文章写得并不是很好。不过这给我上了宝贵的一课。在我刚收到第二份作业时,我就直奔图书馆,查阅研究所需的文献,然后定提纲、写初稿。经过细致的编辑和润色,最终的文章远胜上一篇,并且在规定期限前几天我就已经写好放在抽屉里了。在之后的学习生涯中我都坚持了这种做法。
我记得和我的同学们一起合作完成小组项目。每个人都会分配到一项特定的任务,我的工作通常是制作幻灯片。我们会在学校的自助餐厅开会,大家各抒己见。在我们学着团队协作的过程中,我们时而争论,时而笑声不断。我明白了学习不必只是一个人的拼搏,与他人合作会比单打独斗更妙趣横生也成果斐然。
我记得第一次去拜访我最喜欢的教授,那是在他的办公时间。他是一位身材高大、须发皆白的先生。起初,我觉得他严厉得吓人,但我很快就开始因他广博的学识和对其学科的深刻理解而崇拜他了。我很快意识到,许多大学教授都非常愿意分享他们的知识,并且确实由衷地关心学生的智能发展。
我听到父母在叫我,于是回过神来。毕业典礼结束后,我们坐火车回家。我看着车窗外飞驰而过的世界。返乡的路上,我有了时间来思考未来会带给我什么。大学改变了我。如今我不仅为职业生涯做好了更多学识上的准备,对个人能力也更有信心了。我已长大成人,对自己也更加了解。是的,我已准备好拥抱下一个人生阶段了。
