原文
Chapter I: The Two Sisters
It was the year 1757.
The place was the dangerous and wild land, west of the Hudson River.
It was the third year of the war in North America.
The war was between England and France.
Each country wanted the land for itself.
Indian tribes had always lived in that land.
In the war, some tribes were fighting for the French.
Other tribes were fighting for the English.
Fort Edward was on the Hudson River.
General Webb was the commander of the English army at Fort Edward.
He was waiting for news of General Montcalm.
Montcalm was the commander of the French army.
The news came one morning.
An Indian called Magua arrived.
'Montcalm and the French army are coming towards Fort William Henry,' Magua told General Webb Fort.
William Henry was fifteen miles away.
It was at the south end of Lake Horican.
'How many men has Montcalm got?' asked Webb.
'As many as the leaves on the trees,' said Magua.
'General Munro wants more soldiers at Fort William Henry.'
'I will send fifteen hundred men,' said General Webb.
General Munro was the commander of the English army at Fort William Henry.
He had two daughters - Cora and Alice.
Cora was about twenty-three years old and Alice was eighteen.
Cora had dark hair and a beautiful face.
Alice had fair hair and blue eyes.
These two young women were at Fort Edward.
But they were going to travel to Fort William Henry.
They were going to meet their father.
General Webb spoke to Cora and Alice.
'Magua knows a secret path through the forest,' said General Webb. 'He will be your guide. Magua and Major Duncan Heyward will take you to Fort William Henry.'
Major Duncan Heyward was a young English officer.
He and the two young women left FortEdward.
They rode on horses.
Magua walked in front of them.
Alice watched Magua.
'I don't like him, Cora,' she said. 'What do you think? Will we be safe in the forest with Magua?'
'We must trust Magua,' said Cora.
'The French know our soldiers' paths,' said Duncan. 'But Magua's path is secret.'
He smiled at Alice, and she smiled at him.
Duncan Heyward was in love with Alice.
'Magua is a Huron,' said Duncan. 'But he lived with the Mohawks. The Mohawks are friends of the English. Magua came to us. Your father-'
Duncan stopped. Then he said, 'But I don't remember all the story.'
Duncan knew more about Magua.
But he did not tell Cora and Alice.
He did not say, 'A few years ago, your father's men beat Magua. Now Magua hates your father.'
Duncan did not want to frighten the young women.
So they followed Magua through the forest.

第一章：两姐妹
那是1757年。
这个地方是哈德逊河以西危险而荒凉的地方。
这是北美战争的第三年。
这场战争发生在英国和法国之间。
每个国家都想占有这块土地。
印第安部落一直生活在那片土地上。
在战争中，一些部落为法国人而战。
其他部落也有在为英国人而战。
爱德华堡位于哈德逊河上。
韦布将军是爱德华堡英军的指挥官。
他在等待蒙卡姆将军的消息。
蒙特卡姆是法军的统帅。
一天早上消息传来。
一个叫马瓜的印第安人来了。
“蒙特卡姆和法军正向威廉·亨利堡挺进，”马古阿告诉韦布·福特将军。
威廉·亨利在15英里外。
它在霍里肯湖的南端。
“蒙特卡姆有多少人？”韦勃问。
“和树上的叶子一样多，”玛瓜说。
“门罗将军要在威廉·亨利堡增派士兵。”
“我要派一千五百人去，”韦勃将军说。
门罗将军是威廉·亨利堡英军的指挥官。
他有两个女儿——科拉和爱丽丝。
科拉大约23岁，爱丽丝18岁。
科拉有一头黑发和一张美丽的脸。
爱丽丝有一头金发和一双蓝眼睛。
这两个年轻女人在爱德华堡。
但是他们要去威廉·亨利堡。
他们要去见他们的父亲。
韦布将军对科拉和爱丽丝说。
“马瓜知道一条穿过森林的秘密小路，”韦布将军说。“他将是你的向导。马瓜和邓肯·海沃德少校会带你去威廉·亨利堡。”
邓肯·海沃德少校是一位年轻的英国军官。
他和两个年轻女子离开了福特沃德。
他们骑马。
玛瓜走在他们前面。
爱丽丝看着马瓜。
“我不喜欢他，科拉，”她说。“你觉得怎么样？”我们和马瓜在森林里安全吗？”
“我们必须相信马瓜，”科拉说。
“法国人知道我们士兵走过的路，”邓肯说。但马瓜的路线是秘密的
他对爱丽丝微笑，爱丽丝也对他微笑。
邓肯·海沃德爱上了爱丽丝。
“马瓜是休伦人，”邓肯说。“但他和莫霍克人住在一起。莫霍克人是英国人的朋友。玛瓜来找我们了。你的父亲——”邓肯停了下来。然后他说：“但是我不记得整个故事了。”
邓肯更了解马瓜。
但他没有告诉科拉和爱丽丝。
他没有说：“几年前，你父亲的人打败了马瓜。现在马瓜恨你父亲。”
邓肯不想吓到那些年轻的女人。
于是他们跟着玛瓜穿过森林。

第九章：面具后的人
士兵们整夜跟着佐罗。
他们抓不到他。
第二天晚上，佐罗悄悄地进入了总督的家。
他想跟州长和拉蒙队长谈谈。
他们正坐在火炉旁边。
佐罗进来说：“不要动，不要制造噪音。我想和你谈谈。”
他一手拿着手枪，一手拿着剑。
“佐罗!你为什么在这里？”总督问。
“你是来送死的！”拉蒙队长说。
“不，”佐罗回答说，“我是来伸张正义的。我是来了解真相的。州长，你想惩罚普利多家族。为什么?”
“他们是叛徒。他们是你的朋友，佐罗！他们帮助你。你的朋友是我的敌人，”总督说。
“他们不是叛徒。他们帮不了我。他们不是我的朋友，”他说。
“看这封信。它指责他们，”总督说。
佐罗读了信说：“这是拉蒙队长的信。他指控普利多家族。”
佐罗看着队长说：“队长，你是个骗子，但我在这里惩罚你。把普利多家族的真相告诉总督。”
佐罗用手枪指着队长拉蒙的头说：“告诉总督真相，否则我开枪了！”
拉蒙队长沉默了。他脸色苍白。
“说实话，你这个骗子，”佐罗说。
“是的，我是个骗子。这封信不是真的。”
“太可怕了！”总督说。“你是个骗子。你不可能是要塞的队长！”
这时，船长拔出了他的剑。
他开始和佐罗战斗。
这是一场长剑战。
最后，佐罗杀死了拉蒙队长。
“队长死了，”佐罗对总督说。
在总督的家外面，有许多士兵。
他们想抓住佐罗。
他看见洛丽塔骑在马上。
他喊道：“洛丽塔，跟我来。我们必须躲在老酒馆里。这一次是很难逃脱的。我们周围都是士兵。”
“我很高兴和你在一起，佐罗，”洛丽塔说。
“我不害怕。”佐罗和洛丽塔躲在老酒馆里。
士兵们试图进入。
佐罗准备战斗了。
突然，复仇者来救佐罗和洛丽塔。
他们向总督解释了许多事情。
总督赦免了佐罗。
佐罗和洛丽塔走出老酒馆。它们是免费的。
每个人都很高兴和欢呼。
总督说：“现在你自由了，让我们看看你的脸吧！”
“是啊!是的！”人们说。
佐罗摘下他的黑色面具。
“是唐·迭戈·维加！”冈萨雷斯警官惊叫道。
每个人都很惊讶。
“我的儿子，唐·迭戈！”我简直不敢相信！”唐·亚历杭德罗惊叫道。
洛丽塔看着他说：“这是真的还是梦？你真的是唐·迭戈吗？”
“是的，亲爱的。我是你的唐·迭戈和你的佐罗！”他拥抱着洛丽塔说。

2017年英语专业四级听力 演讲
Online Education
在线教育
Good morning, everybody.
大家早上好。
In today's lecture, we will talk about online education.
今天的讲座，我们要谈一谈在线教育。
You know, in some parts of the world, it is not that easy for people to receive education.
大家都知道，在有些地方，受教育仍然不是件容易的事。
And even in the United States where education is available, it might not be within reach.
即使在美国这样的教育大国，受教育可能也有困难。
Thus,online courses provided by those world-famous universities can bring the best quality education to as many people as we could around the world, and for free.
因此，世界知名大学提供的在线课程可以为世界上许许多多的人带来优质教育，而且是免费的。
First,let's talk a little bit about some of the components that go into online education.
首先，我们谈一下在线教育的几个特点。
The first component is that when you move away from the constraints of a physical classroom and design content for an online format, you can breakaway from, for example, the one-hour lecture format.
第一个特点就是在线教育打破了实体课堂的限制。设计在线课程内容的时候，教师可以抛开很多限制，比如一小时的课程时长。
You can break up the material, for example, into short, modular units of 8 to 12 minutes, and each of the short units introduces a coherent concept.
举个例子，你可以将授课材料分成8到12分钟的小单元，每个单元介绍一个完整的概念。
Students can deal with this material in different ways, depending on their backgrounds, theirs kills or their interests.
学生可以根据自身背景、技能和兴趣，以不同的方式学习材料。
So,for example, some students might benefit from a little bit of preparatory material that other students might already have.
比如，有些学生可能会从准备材料中学到东西，而这些材料其他同学早就有了。
Other students might be interested in a particular topic that they want to pursue individually.
其他同学可能会对他们自己喜欢探究的具体话题感兴趣。
So this format allows students to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education, and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum.
所以，这种形式将学生从“一刀切”式的教育中解放出来，学生们得以学习个性化的课程。
Second and perhaps one of the biggest components of our online education is that when we need to have students who practice with the material in order to really understand it.
第二个，也是在线教育最大的一个特点，就是我们需要让学生有材料练习，这样才能确保他们真正理解了所学内容。
There's been a range of studies that demonstrate the importance of this.
许多研究显示了这一点的重要性。
A study in Science last year, for example, demonstrates that even simpleretrieval practice, where students are just supposed to repeat what they've already learned, gives considerably improved results on various achievement tests.
比如，去年《科学》杂志的一项研究显示，就连只要求学生复述所学内容的简单检索训练都提高了许多成绩测验中学生的成绩。
So,we need to build in much more meaningful practice questions.
所以，我们需要编制更有意义的练习题目。
Now,fortunately, technology has helped us to provide the students with feedback on those questions.
幸运的是，现在技术进步了，我们可以就问题向学生反馈。
We can now grade a range of interesting types of homework online.
现在还可以给许多有趣的在线家庭作业打分。
The third component is what is called collaborative learning.
第三点是合作学习。
Students could collaborate in different online courses in a variety of ways.
学生可以以各种方式在不同的在线课程中合作。
First of all, there was a question and answer forum, where students could pose questions, and other students could answer those questions.
首先，在线课程会有一个问答论坛，学生可以在论坛上提问题，其他学生回答。
And what is really amazing is that, because there were so many students, it means that even if a student posed a question at 3 o'clock in the morning, somewhere around the world there would be somebody who was awake and working on the same problem.
最奇妙的是，因为学生很多，即使有人凌晨三点提出问题，世界上另一个角落也会有还没睡的学生，一起解决这个问题。
And so, in many of the online courses, the median response time for a question on the question and answer forum was 22 minutes.
因此，许多在线课程中，问答论坛上问题的响应时间多数在22分钟。
So in a word, if we wanted to offer top quality education to everyone around the world for free, what would that affect us?
总而言之，如果为全人类免费提供高质量教育，将有哪些影响？
Three things.
我认为有以下三点。
First,it would establish education as a fundamental human right, where anyone around the world with the ability and the motivation could get the skills they need.
首先，在线教育将教育作为基本人权，全世界能够而且想要学技能的人都能学到所需技能。
Second,it would enable lifelong learning.
第二，在线教育使得终身学习成为可能。
It's a shame that for so many of us, learning stops when we finish high school or when we finish college.
我们当中很多人高中毕业或者大学毕业之后就不再学习了，真是令人汗颜。
By making this amazing content available, we would be able to learn something new every time we wanted, whether it's just to expand our minds or it's to change our lives.

第八章：越狱
“加州州长今天也在这里，”冈萨雷斯警官说。
“太好了！”拉蒙队长说。“我必须和他谈谈。”
“早上好，拉蒙队长，”总督说。
“我收到了你的信。谢谢你提供普利多家族的信息。他们是佐罗的朋友。他们是叛徒。我们必须把他们关进监狱，杀了他们！他们很危险。”
“好主意！”我的士兵今天就可以逮捕他们，”上尉说。
一群士兵来到普利多庄园。
他们逮捕了唐·卡洛斯，唐娜·卡塔利娜和洛丽塔。
他们把他们送进监狱。
唐·卡洛斯非常愤怒。他的妻子和女儿哭了。
当唐·迭戈听到这件事后，他去找总督。
他问他：“为什么普利多一家在监狱里？”
总督回答说：“他们是佐罗的朋友。他们帮助和保护他。他们是叛徒！”
“我简直不敢相信。我认识他们。他们是诚实的人。他们不会帮助强盗，”唐·迭戈说。
“你错了，唐·迭戈。他们必须受到惩罚。对叛徒的惩罚是死刑，”总督说。
傍晚时分，佐罗给复仇者们发了一条消息。
留言上写着：“午夜在湖边见我。带上你们的剑和手枪。把这句话传给每个人。”
午夜时分，佐罗和复仇者在湖边相遇。
每个复仇者脸上都戴着面具。
佐罗说：“我们是来拯救唐·普利多和他的家人的。他们必须逃出监狱。他们是无辜的。我们必须保持沉默，进入监狱，帮助他们。弗朗西斯科，你带唐·卡洛斯去帕拉村。何塞，你带多哈·卡塔琳娜去维加庄园。我想带洛丽塔去找费利佩修士。他们必须躲上几天。”
佐罗和复仇者拯救了普利多一家。
唐·卡洛斯和多哈·卡塔琳娜到达了目的地。
士兵们跟着佐罗和洛丽塔。
佐罗的马跑得很快。
佐罗和洛丽塔来到费利佩修士的庄园。
佐罗说：“洛丽塔能在这里和你呆几天吗？”她有危险。”
“是的，我可以保护她，”费利佩修士说。
佐罗吻了洛丽塔说：“永远记住我爱你。”
然后他骑着马走了。

Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.
请根据对话2回答第6题到第10题。
It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world because they are already, some of them, more than 100, 000 dollars in debt. With us now is Mark Spencer, he is the senior financial analyst for SBC Bank. Welcome to you.
据说越来越多的学生一进入社会就开始还债了，因为有些学生早就欠下了十几万美元。今天我们请到了SBC银行的高级金融分析师，马克·斯宾塞。欢迎你。
Thank you. Nice to be with you.
谢谢，很高兴来到这里。
Now I guess there are two kinds of debts: good debt and bad debt. Where does this go?
债务分两种：良性债务和不良债务。学生债务属于哪一种?
Well,student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6 to 8% a year, far faster than the income, far faster than the standard of living. That means debt's taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education.
嗯，学生债务一般属于良性债务。不过，让许多学生及其家庭发愁的是，大学学费每年上涨6%到8%，远远超过收入增长速度和生活水平提高的速度。这意味着借贷在提供教育费用中发挥着越来越重要的作用。
How much debt is too much debt for, for one student?
那么对于一个学生来说，过多的债务具体是多少？
Well,one guideline is that you look at the first year's salary in your field after graduation, and use that as a barometer, but even then...
嗯，有这样一个方法，统计一下一个行业里应届生的工资，用它作参照，不过即使.……
Is that right?
这个方法有效吗？
Well,you are talking big payments even in that instance, for example, 30, 000 dollars worth of debt. If you are gonna repay that over 10 years, you are talking more than 300 dollars a month, in payments every month for 10 years.
这种情况下涉及的都是大笔债务的偿还，比如，3万美元的债务。如果你要在十年内还完，每个月就要还300多美元，每个月都还，一共还10年。
But there're surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs. There are so many kinds of grants.
但是获得大学费用贷款肯定还有其他方法。比如政府项目。还有很多种补助金。
What's,what's the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under.
那么对于那些正在为这些贷款奔走的人，如何防止自己生活负担过重，有什么建议吗？
I understand that loans are just one way of college finance Take advantage of the other opportunities. Things like a college savings plan, let, let you save on a tax advantage basis. So you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education.
.我认为这些贷款只是支付大学费用的一种方式。建议利用好其他机会。比如加入学费储蓄计划，还可以获得有利税率。你可以把钱存在这些账户里，取出的时候就不用交税，直接拿去交学费。
So it's important to start early and that really reduces that reliance on debt later.
所以早做准备很重要，这样后来可以少借贷。
Another thing, leave no stone unturned, looking at grants, scholarships, even on-campus jobs. I mean every dollar you get that way is seen as another dollar you don't have to borrow later.
还有，不要怕麻烦，积极搜集补助金，奖学金或者校内兼职的信息。这样你得到一美元，就少借一美元。
The kinds of jobs that so many students, the fresh off students, like to go into,er, charity stuff, volunteer work.
很多学生，尤其是刚毕业的学生，喜欢去做慈善团体或者志愿活动的工作。
This debt is eliminating a lot of that, isn't it?
现在由于债务，去做这些工作的毕业生少了很多，对吧？
I think that's the social cost. Really, I mean, you know, when you consider that,you know, people may pass up a rewarding career in charitable work, or non-profit organization because they have to get a higher salary someplace else to pay off that debt.
我认为这是社会应该负担的成本。真的，我是说，你想想，很多人会错过慈善工作或者非盈利组织中的非常有意义的工作，只是因为他们要选择其他单位的高工资的工作来还债。
Yeah,that's for sure. Mark Spencer, senior financial analyst from SBC Bank. Mark,good you could be here.
对，那是自然。马克·斯宾塞，SOC银行的高级金融分析师。马克，感谢您来到我们这个节目。
Thank you.
谢谢。

In the evening, the magistrate and his friends are in the tavern.
They are laughing about the old friar.
"Why are you laughing?" asks a mysterious voice.
They look at the door of the tavern and see Zorro.
He has a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other.
"Magistrate! I am here to punish you," says Zorro. "Old Friar Felipe is not a thief and you know it."
"I am an important magistrate. I don't like friars because they are your friends,Zorro."
Zorro gives a whip to the magistrate's friend and says, "Now whip this corrupt magistrate 15 times."
"But I cannot do this," says the friend.
"Whip him or I whip you!" says Zorro.
The friend whips the magistrate.
After the punishment, the magistrate falls to the ground.
"This is how I punish dishonest people," says Zorro.
The next day everyone talks about the magistrate's punishment.
A group of young men want to help Captain Ramon arrest Zorro.
They look for him in the hills and in the valleys.
In the evening, they go to the Vega hacienda.
When Don Alejandro sees them, he says, "Why are you all here?"
"We are looking for Zorro. We want to capture the bandit and get the reward. "
At 9 p.m., Don Diego says, "Please excuse me. I am tired and I am going to bed."
"Look,Diego, these young men are not tired. It's only 9 p.m. You are young but you are always tired," says Don Alejandro.
"Yes,father, you are right. Good night, everyone!"
The others eat, drink and sing.
At midnight, a masked man appears at the door.
"Look,it is Zorro!" says one of the young men.
"Zorro,the bandit," they all say.
"Yes,I am Zorro, but I am not a bandit. I have principles and I fight for them. In California,we have corrupt political men, cruel magistrates and dishonest people. I want to change this. I fight to help the poor, the natives and the friars. What are your principles?"
"We want to help the poor, the natives and the friars too," says one young man.
"Our principles are the same," says another.
"Come with me and we can fight together! We can make California a better place to live," says Zorro.
"But who are you? Where do you live?" asks a young man.
"I can't tell you. It's a secret," says Zorro.
The young men talk together. "Yes, we want to fight with you. We want justice in California. Our new name is The Avengers!" says a young man.
"Yes, we are The Avengers," they all say.
"Good! We now fight together!" says Zorro and leaves.

他们在嘲笑那个老修士。
“你为什么笑？”一个神秘的声音问道。
他们看着酒馆的门，看到佐罗。
他一手拿着手枪，一手拿着剑。
“长官!我在这里惩罚你，”佐罗说。“老费利佩修士不是贼，你知道的。”
“我是一个重要的地方法官。我不喜欢修士，因为他们是你的朋友，佐罗。”
佐罗把鞭子递给治安官的朋友说：“现在鞭打这个腐败的治安官15次。”
“但我不能这样做，”朋友说。
“要么鞭打他，要么我鞭打你！”佐罗说。
朋友鞭打治安法官。
判罚结束后，裁判官倒地。
“这就是我惩罚不诚实的人的方式，”佐罗说。
第二天，每个人都在谈论治安官的惩罚。
一群年轻人想帮助拉蒙队长逮捕佐罗。
他们在山上和山谷里寻找他。
晚上，他们去维加庄园。
当唐·亚历杭德罗看到他们时，他说：“你们为什么都在这里？”
“我们正在寻找佐罗。我们想抓住这个强盗，拿到赏金。”
晚上9点，唐·迭戈说：“请原谅。我累了，我要去睡觉了。”
“看，迭戈，这些年轻人一点也不累。现在才晚上9点。你很年轻，但你总是很累，”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“是的，父亲，你说得对。大家晚安！”
其他人又吃又喝又唱歌。
午夜时分，一个蒙面人出现在门口。
“看，这是佐罗！”其中一个年轻人说。
“佐罗，强盗，”他们都说。
“是的，我是佐罗，但我不是强盗。我有原则，我为之奋斗。在加州，我们有腐败的政客，残酷的地方法官和不诚实的人。我想改变这一点。我为帮助穷人，当地人和修士而战。你的原则是什么？”
“我们想帮助穷人，当地人和修士，”一个年轻人说。
“我们的原则是一样的，”另一个人说。
“跟我来，我们可以一起战斗！”我们可以让加州成为一个更好的居住地，”佐罗说。
“你是谁？”你住在哪里？”一个年轻人问。

"Take all the soldiers and find Zorro! We must capture him."
The soldiers follow Zorro.
The night is dark. It is difficult to follow him because his horse is very fast.
The next morning, the soldiers return to the Presidio.
They are tired and angry.
Zorro is still free.
There are many people in front of the Presidio that morning.
Don Diego is there too.
Something is happening.
An old friar is standing before the magistrate.
The old friar is in chains.
"I am not a thief," says the old friar. "I am a poor friar."
"What is happening?" asks Don Diego.
"This old friar is a thief. He must be punished," answers the magistrate.
"That is impossible. Friar Felipe is an honest man. I know him," says Don Diego.
"No,you are wrong," says the cruel magistrate.
He calls two soldiers and says, "Whip this friar 15 times."
The soldiers whip the old friar and he falls to the ground.
Don Diego is very angry because Friar Felipe is his friend.
He returns to his father's hacienda.
"Good afternoon, my son," says his father, Don Alejandro Vega.
"I am happy to see you. Come and tell me about Lolita. Does she want to marry you?"
"I like Lolita, but she doesn't like me. She likes romantic men. What can I do?" asks Don Diego.
"Girls like courageous, romantic men. You must talk about love. You must play the guitar and sing love songs. Give her some flowers. This is what young men do.Wake up, Diego!" says Don Alejandro.
"How ridiculous! I cannot do these stupid things," says Don Diego.
"You must try. Lolita is a lovely girl," says Don Alejandro.
"There are many problems in my life. I want to rest and meditate," says Don Diego.

第六章：费利佩修士
拉蒙队长回到了要塞。
他非常愤怒。
“我必须惩罚洛丽塔，她的家人和佐罗的侮辱！”他想。“我必须给总督写封信。我必须告诉他唐·卡洛斯·普利多和他的家人是叛徒。他们是佐罗的朋友。他们帮助他。”
他写了这封信并把它寄给了总督。
他笑着说：“我想在监狱里看到普利多一家！”
“我想在监狱里见到你！”一个男人的声音说。
拉蒙队长转过身，看到了佐罗。
“你是个恶棍。和我战斗，但不要伤害普利多家族！”佐罗说。
“冈萨雷斯警官，快来！”上尉说。“佐罗在这里。”
佐罗消失了。
“我在这里，队长，”冈萨雷斯警官说。
“带着所有的士兵去找佐罗！”我们必须抓住他。”
士兵们跟着佐罗。
夜是黑的。很难跟上他，因为他的马跑得很快。
第二天早上，士兵们回到了要塞。
他们又累又生气。
佐罗仍然是自由的。
那天早上要塞前有很多人。
唐·迭戈也在那里。
有些事情正在发生。
一位老修士站在法官面前。
老修士被锁着。
“我不是小偷，”老修士说。“我是一个穷修士。”
“发生了什么事？”唐·迭戈问。
“这个老修士是个贼。他必须受到惩罚，”法官回答。
“那不可能。费利佩修士是个诚实的人。我认识他，”唐·迭戈说。
“不，你错了，”残酷的法官说。
他叫来两个士兵，说：“鞭打这个修士十五下。”
士兵们鞭打老修士，他倒在地上。
唐·迭戈非常生气，因为费利佩修士是他的朋友。
他回到了父亲的庄园。
“下午好，我的儿子，”他的父亲唐·亚历杭德罗·维加说。
“我很高兴见到你。来告诉我关于洛丽塔的事。她想嫁给你吗？”
“我喜欢洛丽塔，但她不喜欢我。她喜欢浪漫的男人。我能做什么？”唐·迭戈问。
“女孩喜欢勇敢、浪漫的男人。你必须谈论爱。你必须弹吉他，唱情歌。给她一些花。这就是年轻人所做的。醒醒吧，迭戈！”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“多么荒谬!我不能做这些愚蠢的事情，”唐·迭戈说。
“你必须试试。洛丽塔是一个可爱的女孩，”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“我的生活中有很多问题。我想休息和冥想，”唐·迭戈说。

2016年英语专业四级听力 演讲
What Is Grit?
什么是决心？
Good afternoon, everyone.
大家下午好。
Today, I would like to talk about my research project concerning the key to success.
今天我想谈一谈我的研究项目，主题是成功的关键。
I would like to start my topic with my own story.
首先，我想讲讲我自己的故事。
When I was 27 years old, I left for a demanding job:
27岁的时候，我去做了一份非常有挑战性的工作：
teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.
去纽约的公立学校教七年级数学。
And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests.
像其他老师一样，我设计了课堂测验和考试，
I gave out homework assignments.
也会布置家庭作业，
When the work came back, I calculated grades.
作业交上来，我也会给出分数。
What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students.
我吃惊地发现，智商并不是好学生和差学生的唯一区别。
Some of my strongest performers did not have super IQ scores.
有些表现很好的学生智商并没有高出常人。
Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.
有些非常聪明的孩子表现不是特别好。
Then I felt very interested in knowing the reason,
因此我非常想弄明白，
why the students' math performance is not that closely related to their lQ scores.
为什么学生在数学上的变现并没有跟智商值密切相关呢？
I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challenging settings,
我开始研究在各种极具挑战性的情境下，儿童和成年人的表现。
and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why?
在研究中，我会提出这样的问题：这里谁是成功的人？为什么？
My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy.
我和我的实验团队去了西点军校。
We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out.
我们预测了哪些学生会完成军训，哪些会掉队。
We went to the National Spelling Contest,
我们去了全国拼字比赛，
and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition.
预测哪些孩子会最终夺冠。
We worked with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs?
我们到过一些企业，问他们哪些销售人员会被留任，
And who's going to earn the most money?
谁赚的最多。
We went to many places, and finally one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success.
我们去了很多地方，最后发现一个能预测成功的重要特点。
And it wasn't social intelligence.
不是社会智能。
It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ.
不是姣好的长相，不是健康的身体，也不是智商。
It was grit.
是决心。
What is grit?
决心是什么？
Well,grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.
嗯，决心是为达成长期目标而努力的热情与恒心。
Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not justfor the month,
决心是不放弃对未来的憧憬，日复一日，不是一周，不是一个月，
but for years, and working really hard to make future a reality.
而是年年如此，踏实努力把对未来的憧憬变成现实。
Grit is living your life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
决心是把生活过成马拉松，而不是短跑。
A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools.
几年前，我开始在芝加哥的公立学校研究决心。
I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires,
我做了关于决心的调查问卷调查了几干名高三学生，
and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate.
又等了一年多看看谁会毕业。
It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate,
最后发现，比较有决心的孩子们毕业的可能性更大，
even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure,
即使比对我能测定的各种特点，
things like family income, test scores and so on.
如家庭收入，考试成绩等，也是如此。
To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know,
最让我吃惊的是，我们对决心知之甚少，
how little science knows, about building it.
科学也对如何增强信心记载甚少。
Everyday, parents and teachers ask me,
父母们和老师们每天都会问我，
"How do I build grit in kids? "
怎样让孩子们更有决心呢？
How do I keep them motivated for the long run? "
我怎么做才能让他们保持长久的动力呢？”
Our data shows very clearly that there are many talented individuals,
我们的数据清楚地显示，有许多有天赋的人，
who simply do not follow through on their commitment.
根本没办法坚持做好该做的事。
In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent.
数据还显示，决心通常和天赋的程度没什么关系。
So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called"growth mindset."
迄今为止，我所听过的增强孩子们决心的最佳方法叫作“成长心态”。
Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort.
成长心态认为，学习能力并不固定，通过努力可以改变。
Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail,
有决心的孩子遇到失败却要坚持下去的可能性更大，
because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.
因为他们不相信自己会永远失败。
So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit.
所以成长心态是增强决心的好办法。
But we need more.不过这还不够。
And that's where I'm going to end my talk, because that's where we are.
讲完这一点我的讲话就要结束了，因为我们正面对的就是这件事。
That's the work that stands before us.
那就是在我们面前的工作。
We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.
我们必须愿意失败，愿意犯错，愿意得到失败的教训后再重新开始。
As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.
最后，我们也要坚定决心，一定会把孩子们培养得更有决心的。
Next time, I would like to share with you my experience in building up students'grit.
下次我想跟大家分享我增强学生决心的经历。
