相约星期二
Despite being a sports journalist with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life.

This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz.
当他与自己最喜欢的大学教授莫里·施瓦茨重聚时，这一切才彻底改变。
On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays.

This book is about dying, but it is not pessimistic.
这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。
Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope.
其实，你会惊喜地发现这本书充满了喜悦和希望。
Morrie's bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more.
莫里面对生命终结的无畏给人以启发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。
In fact, far from being a book about death, it's a book about life.
事实上，这完全不是一本关于死亡的书，而是一本关于生命的书。
As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
正如莫里所说：“一旦你学会了如何面对死亡，也就懂得了如何活着。”
As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes—the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings.
当莫里预见自己的死亡时，他用新的眼光观察一切事物——仿佛他周围的事物比以往任何时候都更美好，并拥有新的意义。
From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last.
从窗外望去，他看着四季更迭，心中明白这可能是他最后的时光。
This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day.
这激励我们珍惜我们所拥有的，并充分利用每一天。
③pessimistic adj. 悲观的，悲观主义的 ④anticipate v. 预期，预料 ⑤句中it为形式主语，真正的主语是不定式短语to__find__...__；that引导宾语从句。

I think this book should be on all school reading lists.
我认为这本书应该列在所有学校的阅读清单上。
After finishing it, I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view.
读完它之后，我觉得我对这个世界有了更深刻的认识，能够从不同的角度看事情。
On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “ ... the big things—how we think, what we value—those you must choose yourself.
在11日，星期二，莫里解释说：“……重要的是——我们如何思考，我们看重什么——那些你必须自己选择。
You can't let anyone—or any society—determine those for you”．
你不能让任何人——或任何群体——为你决定那些”。
While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions.
当我们活着的时候，我们往往会被一些不重要的事情分散注意力，比如积累物质财富。
I think it's important for young people to know that making a lot of money won't always make them happy, or that looking different doesn't make a person abnormal!
我认为重要的是让年轻人知道，赚很多钱并不总会让他们快乐，或者看上去与众不同并不代表不正常！
It's up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.
这取决于我们要清楚在我们的生活中什么是重要的，并建立我们自己的价值观。
Morrie says that most people “seem half asleep”， even when they're doing things they think are important.
莫里说，甚至大多数人在做自认为重要的事情时，他们也是“似乎半睡半醒”的。
Reading this book made me feel as if I'd been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world!
读这本书让我感觉好像从漫长的睡眠中被唤醒，终于睁开了双眼，看到了世界！
⑥possession n. 财产，财物 ⑦abnormal adj. 不正常的，反常的

Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated.
尽管它得到了广泛认可，但我对它的第一印象是，《相约星期二》只是由一堆过度情绪化的想法和信息组成的，其中很多都是重复的。
But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two.
但回想起来，它确实教给了我一两条经验。
The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.
这本书让我停下来并且思考流行文化对我的影响有多大，以及在爱和开放性交流的基础上创造自己价值观的重要性。
Although it isn't my favourite book, I'd still recommend that people read it—after all, it is something that's a bit different!
虽然它不是我最喜欢的书，但我还是建议人们去读它——毕竟，这是一本有点与众不同的书！
⑧widespread adj. 广泛流传的 ⑨recognition n. 承认，认可 ⑩ “主(my first impression)系(was)表(that ... messages)”。that Tuesdays with Morrie ... messages是that引导的表语从句；many of which ... 是“many of＋关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句，解释说明先行词thoughts and messages。

Warning!
注意了！
A box of tissues will be needed to get through this book!
要读完这本书最好准备一盒纸巾！
Morrie's reflections on love and friendship made me think about my life and all the good friends that I've lost touch with along the way.
莫里对爱情和友情的思考让我想起了自己的生活，以及一路上失去联系的所有好朋友。
It made me realise just how much I miss them.
它让我意识到我有多么想念他们。
I guess that's one of the lessons of the book—always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.
我想这就是这本书教会我的其中一点——在你的一生中，与你遇到的好人一直保持联系。
Like Mitch, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.
像米奇一样，莫里让你意识到你将死之时，觉得你已经活得很充实，知道你被爱着，也尽力地爱过别人。
As Morrie's favourite poet Auden said, “Love each other or perish.”
正如莫里最喜欢的诗人奥登所说：“我们必须相爱，否则死去。”
“主(Morrie)谓(makes)宾(you)”。that you want to die ... 是aware的宾语从句；feeling that ... full和knowing that ... you could是现在分词短语作伴随状语。

1 As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”(教材P19) 正如莫里所说：“懂得了怎样死亡，也就学会了怎样生活。”
剖析 as引导的非限制性定语从句，意为 “正如”。
归纳拓展 as引导非限制性定语从句时，先行词通常是整个主句，它在从句中作主语或宾语，可以位于主句前或主句后，也可以位于主句中。
①As everybody knows, Shakespeare was a great English writer.
众所周知，莎士比亚是一位伟大的英国作家。(从句在主句之前，as在从句中作宾语)

③The project, as we had expected, got along well.
正如我们所预料的那样，工程进展顺利。(从句在主句中间，as在从句中作宾语)

剖析 as引导时间状语从句；as though/if引导方式状语从句。
归纳拓展 (1)as though/if “仿佛，好像，似乎”，还可以引导表语从句。 (2)当as though/if从句所叙述的内容与事实不符或不会发生时，从句谓语动词常用虚拟语气形式。 主句谓语动词as though/if从句谓语形式与现在事实不符过去式(be动词常用were)与过去事实不符had＋过去分词与将来事实不符would/ could /might /should＋动词原形
①He was looking up and down the road as if he was expecting someone.
他向路上张望着，好像在等什么人。
②“It looks as if it'll go under soon，” Jim said, after a couple of minutes.

③She treats him as if he were a stranger.
她待他如陌生人。
④It looks as if she had just come back from outer space.
她看起来仿佛刚从外太空回来似的。
如果as though/if从句中的主语和主句的主语相同，且从句中含有be动词，可省略从句主语和be动词，这样就剩下“as though/if＋名词/不定式/形容词(短语)/介词短语/分词”结构。 Tom stopped as though/if to see what had happened. 汤姆停下来好像要看看发生了什么事。

My mother in law left us an unexpected and priceless gift. After she died, my husband and his sister were going through the contents of her house when they discovered every letter we'd written to her during our 46 year marriage. She also kept all the letters my mother had written to her over the years.
During my holidays, I've had time to go through these letters. I read about our early married life, our struggle to have children and especially the progress of our three children from birth to adulthood. I began writing all these details for my children, and now they have details about when they were small. I discovered much I'd forgotten.
To read the letters written by my mother to my husband's mother is a gift. I wish I'd saved my mother's letters to me, but now I have these letters that tell me things about my own mother I never knew. I see Mom and Mamma shared their great love for us and for our children.
I come from a long line of letter writers and was trained to stay in touch with our parents. My grandparents loved to receive letters from across the ocean. When I was away on a student exchange in 1970, my mother told me my grandfather kept my airmail letters in his pocket and read them daily. Knowing this, I've tried my best to write to our family regularly.
To all of you who write to me, I thank you. The handwritten word is a powerful tool of friendship and it connects us together. Perhaps the greatest gift these letters have given me is to see how much my husband's parent treasured our letters to her. The letters helped her know her grandchildren and feel like part of our lives. I shall collect and arrange them for my children so that they can read the events of our lives and know they were treasured, too.
Keep writing to those you love. Those letters are our greatest gifts to each other.

The curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It's hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six inch curb “might__as__well__have__been__Mount__Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero sum game (零和游戏)”. Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another”. What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins”.
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it's used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以路缘坡为例，解释了什么是“路缘效应”，即社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，最终使每个人都受益。
5．By “might as well have been Mount Everest” (Paragraph 3), the disability rights leader implies that a six inch curb may become ________．
A．as famous as the world's highest mountain
B．an almost impassable barrier
C．a connection between people
D．a most unforgettable matter
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据画线句上文“That was a big deal ... city blocks without assistance.”可知，没有斜坡，6英寸长的路缘对于坐轮椅的人来说是一个几乎无法逾越的障碍。故选B。
6．According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that ________．
A．it's fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others
B．it's impossible to have everyone be treated equally
C．it's necessary to go all out to help the disabled
D．it's not worthwhile to promote health equity
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Blackwell rightly noted that ... one group hurts another’．”可知，Blackwell (布莱克威尔)指出很多人把路缘坡的设计认为是零和游戏，一方得益，那么另一方必然受损，由此可推知，许多人认为这是不可能实现的公平。故选B。
7．Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A．Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B．Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C．Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D．Classic literature got translated into many languages.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What the curb cut effect ... contribute fully, everyone wins’．”可知，路缘效应指的是社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，最终会使每个人都受益。由此可推知，A项(航天设计应用于地球上的生命。)涉及地球上的每一个人，能很好地解释路缘效应。故选A。
8．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A．Everyday items are originally invented for people with disabilities.
B．Everyone in a society should pursue what is in his or her interest.
C．A disability rights leader changed the life of his fellow men.
D．Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段内容可知，路缘坡不仅帮助了坐轮椅的群体，而且帮助了我们所有人。由此可推知，对弱势群体的关爱最终会让所有人受益。故选D。

This book is about dying, but it is not pessimistic.
这本书谈论的是死亡，但并不悲观。
Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope.
其实，你会惊喜地发现这本书充满了喜悦和希望。
Morrie's bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more.
莫里面对生命终结的无畏给人以启发，让我更加珍惜自己的生命。
In fact, far from being a book about death, it's a book about life.
事实上，这完全不是一本关于死亡的书，而是一本关于生命的书。
As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
正如莫里所说：“一旦你学会了如何面对死亡，也就懂得了如何活着。”
As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes—the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings.

I think this book should be on all school reading lists.

After finishing it, I feel I have been given a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view.
读完它之后，我觉得我对这个世界有了更深刻的认识，能够从不同的角度看事情。
On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “ ... the big things—how we think, what we value—those you must choose yourself.
在11日，星期二，莫里解释说：“……重要的是——我们如何思考，我们看重什么——那些你必须自己选择。
You can't let anyone—or any society—determine those for you”．
你不能让任何人——或任何群体——为你决定那些”。
While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions.
当我们活着的时候，我们往往会被一些不重要的事情分散注意力，比如积累物质财富。
I think it's important for young people to know that making a lot of money won't always make them happy, or that looking different doesn't make a person abnormal!
我认为重要的是让年轻人知道，赚很多钱并不总会让他们快乐，或者看上去与众不同并不代表不正常！
It's up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.
这取决于我们要清楚在我们的生活中什么是重要的，并建立我们自己的价值观。
Morrie says that most people “seem half asleep”， even when they're doing things they think are important.
莫里说，甚至大多数人在做自认为重要的事情时，他们也是“似乎半睡半醒”的。
Reading this book made me feel as if I'd been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world!
读这本书让我感觉好像从漫长的睡眠中被唤醒，终于睁开了双眼，看到了世界！

Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated.
尽管它得到了广泛认可，但我对它的第一印象是，《相约星期二》只是由一堆过度情绪化的想法和信息组成的，其中很多都是重复的。
But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two.
但回想起来，它确实教给了我一两条经验。
The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication.
这本书让我停下来并且思考流行文化对我的影响有多大，以及在爱和开放性交流的基础上创造自己价值观的重要性。
Although it isn't my favourite book, I'd still recommend that people read it—after all, it is something that's a bit different!
虽然它不是我最喜欢的书，但我还是建议人们去读它——毕竟，这是一本有点与众不同的书！

莫里对爱情和友情的思考让我想起了自己的生活，以及一路上失去联系的所有好朋友。

I guess that's one of the lessons of the book—always keep in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life.
我想这就是这本书教会我的其中一点——在你的一生中，与你遇到的好人一直保持联系。
Like Mitch, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die feeling that you have lived life to the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.
像米奇一样，莫里让你意识到你将死之时，觉得你已经活得很充实，知道你被爱着，也尽力地爱过别人。
As Morrie's favourite poet Auden said, “Love each other or perish.”
正如莫里最喜欢的诗人奥登所说：“我们必须相爱，否则死去。”

My mother in law left us an unexpected and priceless gift. After she died, my husband and his sister were going through the contents of her house when they discovered every letter we'd written to her during our 46 year marriage. She also kept all the letters my mother had written to her over the years.
During my holidays, I've had time to go through these letters. I read about our early married life, our struggle to have children and especially the progress of our three children from birth to adulthood. I began writing all these details for my children, and now they have details about when they were small. I discovered much I'd forgotten.
To read the letters written by my mother to my husband's mother is a gift. I wish I'd saved my mother's letters to me, but now I have these letters that tell me things about my own mother I never knew. I see Mom and Mamma shared their great love for us and for our children.
I come from a long line of letter writers and was trained to stay in touch with our parents. My grandparents loved to receive letters from across the ocean. When I was away on a student exchange in 1970, my mother told me my grandfather kept my airmail letters in his pocket and read them daily. Knowing this, I've tried my best to write to our family regularly.
To all of you who write to me, I thank you. The handwritten word is a powerful tool of friendship and it connects us together. Perhaps the greatest gift these letters have given me is to see how much my husband's parent treasured our letters to her. The letters helped her know her grandchildren and feel like part of our lives. I shall collect and arrange them for my children so that they can read the events of our lives and know they were treasured, too.
Keep writing to those you love. Those letters are our greatest gifts to each other.

The curb cut (路缘坡) is a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It's hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity. The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero sum game (零和游戏)”. Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another”. What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins”.
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it's used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章以路缘坡为例，解释了什么是“路缘效应”，即社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，最终使每个人都受益。
5．By “might as well have been Mount Everest” (Paragraph 3), the disability rights leader implies that a six inch curb may become ________．
A．as famous as the world's highest mountain
B．an almost impassable barrier
C．a connection between people
D．a most unforgettable matter
解析：细节理解题。根据画线句上文“That was a big deal ... city blocks without assistance.”可知，没有斜坡，6英寸长的路缘对于坐轮椅的人来说是一个几乎无法逾越的障碍。故选B。
6．According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that ________．
A．it's fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others
B．it's impossible to have everyone be treated equally
C．it's necessary to go all out to help the disabled
D．it's not worthwhile to promote health equity
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Blackwell rightly noted that ... one group hurts another’．”可知，Blackwell (布莱克威尔)指出很多人把路缘坡的设计认为是零和游戏，一方得益，那么另一方必然受损，由此可推知，许多人认为这是不可能实现的公平。故选B。
7．Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A．Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B．Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C．Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D．Classic literature got translated into many languages.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What the curb cut effect ... contribute fully, everyone wins’．”可知，路缘效应指的是社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，最终会使每个人都受益。由此可推知，A项(航天设计应用于地球上的生命。)涉及地球上的每一个人，能很好地解释路缘效应。故选A。
8．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A．Everyday items are originally invented for people with disabilities.
B．Everyone in a society should pursue what is in his or her interest.
C．A disability rights leader changed the life of his fellow men.
D．Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段内容可知，路缘坡不仅帮助了坐轮椅的群体，而且帮助了我们所有人。由此可推知，对弱势群体的关爱最终会让所有人受益。故选D。
