Part2 reading comprehensionandlanguage activities
Someone waitingI am siting at the airport watching people in the final moments before their loved ones arrive or depart . They are pacing ,nervous,looking at one another ,touching and not touching .the emotion is charged . A woman,speaking Spanish,is running in circles trying to gather family members together for a good-bye.Her voice is high-pitched .When the final moment comes before boarding,she wraps her arms around her son,giving hin a powerful embrace that should protect him until he returns.
A grandmother andgrandson stand at the rail where I am waiting;the people who are supposed to pick them up are late.Two ladies,next to them but unrelated ,look up and down the corridor as if scanning an open sea.A mother holds a baby as she kissed her husband.Tears dampen her cheeks.The moment is charged. At Gate 13 ,the arrivals are just coming in.” I see her. There she is.”Just as poigant,the arrivals fold into the mix of people as if they have been the missing ingredient. There are tears and smiles.,pure delight ringing in the laughter of seeing someone who has been gone.
I sit,glancing at my book,waiting for my turn to leave,alone because the ones I love have a different shedule from mine,and the one I am going to see,a daughter,is at the other end of my journey.
I think of other departures and arrivals. I recall seeing my daughter,the daughter I an going to visit, coming down that narrow corridor with her backbag slung on one shoulder, her overstuffed carry-on cradled in her arms, her headphone making her oblivious to the stream of people flowing along with her. She was in her frist year at university coming home for a holiday in Novermber –the frist time since August.I wrapped myself around her as if she had been lost to me.
Today my flight is two hours late. The book I am reading is not as interesting as the people leaving and coming,coming and leaving. A little boy about five is meeting his grandfather for the frist time. He looks up and up at the face of a man who is not that tall,except to a child. Joy shines down and up,and I am wandering how one would cather this moment in words or on film.
When myflight is finally called,I gather my books and carry-on. Since there is no one to see me off, I do not look back to see where I have come from. Instead, I think of my husband at work wonding if I have left yet, and my daghret at the other end wondering the same thing. As I head toward the plane,I find myself remember yet another arrival and departure. When I was a newlywed, my 91-year-old granderfather died. We had been very close, and one evening,returning from his funeral, I arrived at the airport crying. My husband of only a year was
waiting at the gate to take me in his arms. Because of my tears,
everyone was looking at us, but I didn’t care. Somehow the emotion I felt seemed not at all out of place for the airport.

第四篇：大学体验英语综合教程2课文翻译unit1~unit5
牛津大学
牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府之一。牛津大学始建于12世纪。它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。
牛津大学有16 300多名学生(1999 — 2000)，其中留学生占将近四分之一，来自130多个国家。牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私立学院。5个私立学院中，有3个只招男生。学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。
牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。大部分管委会成员都被称为“导师”，或学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，选举自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。大学提供一些图书馆、实验室及其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。
牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。辅导课是指导师每周与1到2名学生见面一次。学生如需专业指导，还可约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。
学位由大学而不是各个学院授予。最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予更高的学位、文凭和证书。
罗兹奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生，为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学求学的美国公民提供“马歇尔奖学金”。
然而，奖学金和助学金的竞争极其激烈，而且通常要求很严。学生们在申请某一项奖学金之前应仔细核查自己是否有资格，因为多数奖学金对学生国籍和(或)课程都有限制。
牛津师生员工积极参与主动招生的活动，2001年这种活动有55项以上，包括走访3 700所中学和学院，以鼓励优秀学生报考牛津大学，而不管其背景如何。
在2001年度的“创新”竞赛中，牛津大学被授予英国最具创新精神的大学称号。该竞赛旨在发现哪一所英国大学在最广的活动领域内取得了创新和进取的最大成就。在2000年全英“教学质量评估”中，牛津在所评估的10个学科中有6个得分高居榜首。
牛津、斯坦福和耶鲁3所大学最近合作开发了“远程学习”项目——“终生学习联盟”，该项目将提供文科和理科的在线课程。
牛津的使命是在教学和研究的各个领域达到并保持领先地位;保持和加强其世界名校的历史地位;通过其研究成果和毕业生的技能促进地区、国家的和全球的发展。
为了实现这个目标，学校将针对知识环境和整个社会发展的需要，为员工提供进行创新研究所需的设施和支持;提倡既富革新精神又严格认真的教学，使教学与研究环境卓有成效地互动从而推动教学，通过辅导课指导和小组学习加速思想的交流，通过开发学校图书馆、博物馆以及科学收藏方面的资源，为毕业生能在国内和国际上一展身手打下基础。
绝无仅有的旅程 斯坦福大学亨尼西校长2011年开学典礼致辞(节选) 各位家长、转校生、2015届的同学们：
下午好!欢迎来到斯坦福大学。今天，我们欢迎1709名新生及47名转校生的到来。
我相信，在你们为这一天的到来做准备时，一定曾花费过一些时间来仔细考虑你们在本科教育阶段要追求的目标。如今我们生活在一个伟大变革的时代。科学领域的新发现使我们治疗人类疾病的途径有了突破性进展，也在挑战我们去面对深刻而复杂的伦理问题。我们给环境造成的变化——从全球变暖到各种动植物种群的减少乃至灭绝——迫使我们要面对这样一个问题：我们将如何建立一种可持续生存的模式。世界各地发生的种种冲突事件提醒我们，我们是在与拥有不同信仰、希望和文化的各个民族分享一个小小的星球，理解和尊重他们的企盼和历史对建立一个对大家都会更加美好的世界来说将至关重要。
你们既然已经接受邀请同意成为这所大学的一员，我想大家都会在问同一个问题：“怎样才能充分利用我的大学时光?”基于我三十四年作为斯坦福一员的体验，我可以向各位提出以下几点建议。
我的第一个建议是：去了解学校的老师们。他们选择了追求学术生涯，因为他们对研究学问充满激情并希望与他人分享知识。我们有一支非凡的教师队伍，你们要去了解他们，去探求他们为什么对学术追求充满激情。
在接下来的几年中，你们要结识的同学，他们的背景、文化或信仰会与你们有很大的差异。你们可能会发现，你们的价值观——还有你们的偏见——会受到挑战。我希望你们能对我们所处的这个多元社会有全新的理解和认识，找到建设性的途径去为世界做贡献。有机会向你们的同学学习，这是斯坦福教育的重要组成部分。
你们所选择就读的大学，不仅是一个出色的教育机构，也是一个卓越的研究机构。我鼓励你们好好利用这个条件。要选修和参与学校开设的课程和学术研讨，去探索那些正在促使知识和认识得到创新的科技前沿领域。对我而言，作为一个本科生有机会去参与科学研究，曾引导我从电气工程专业转向了攻读计算机科学硕士专业，点燃了我要站在发现前沿的激情。这股激情伴随我攻读完博士学位，甚至在斯坦福任教三十多年后的今天，它依然让我激动不已。站在发现的前沿，参与新知识的创造，这是一个具有重大意义的经历，足以改变一个人的人生轨迹。
你们即将开始在斯坦福的学习生涯并为要在这里度过的四年光阴做出规划。我衷心希望你们铭记这一点：本科阶段的教育是一生的基础。这是绝无仅有的旅程。它远不只是让你获取第一份工作的门票。这是一个培养你成为终身学习者所需技能和热情的机遇，这种技能和热情无论在你将来的事业领域还是其他领域都是需要的。
在座的各位家长，我向你们保证，斯坦福大学会在未来几年中为同学们提供成长和学习的各种机会。但是这将取决于你们孩子自己的选择，选择能令他们兴奋的事物，选择能激发他们求知激情并能发挥他们的聪明才智的领域。我希望你们能支持他们的选择。我欢迎所有的新生和家长们来到斯坦福大家庭。同学们，我希望你们将在这里度过的时光会改变你们的人生，已经有那么多的校友在这里改变了他们的人生。最后，我希望你们在这里度过的时光将有助于为你们打下一个基础，使你们能够不仅为自己也为后代建设一个更加美好的未来做出贡献。
鼠标轻点，美梦成真
还有不到一个月就要毕业了，特里萨·史密斯还没找到合适的工作，她就读于位于伊利诺州埃文斯顿的西北大学。就业指导中心建议这位文科生去查查JOB-TRAK网站，该网站上列出了45,000个初级水平的职位。
史密斯选择了四个关键词：Chicago(芝加哥)，business(商务)，marketing(营销)，full time(全职)。她马上就找到45个工作合乎她的标准，其中一个是芝加哥商业学院行政助理。四个星期以后，她得到了这份工作，底薪32,000美元。
“我没有受过任何训练，”史密斯说，“但因特网使用很简单。要是没有因特网，我根本不会知道有这份工作。”
不少美国人鼠标一点，就找到了自己的工作。史密斯是其中一个，另一个例子是斯蒂芬·图尔斯。
他住在马里兰州的罗科维尔，1996年无意中进到一个招聘网站CareerBuilder。他在一家生产商展展品的公司工作，刚被提升为营销总管，并不想换工作。但是出于好奇心，他决定“试试看”。
图尔斯填写了一份简历，关键词是market manager(行销经理)，并输入了自己的电子邮箱地址。不到一个星期，他的邮箱里就塞满了可供选择的职位。他去了两家公司面试，然后就跳槽了。“有了因特网，就像雇了一个私人助理，”图尔斯说。“你可以毫不费劲地留意到一些机会，让你的事业上一个新台阶。”
仅在两年以前，因特网上提供的工作绝大部分还局限于高科技领域。现在，非技术性的工作，如售货员、银行职员、秘书等，是网上招聘机会增长最为迅速的部分。大型报纸和专业出版物的分类广告大多都有在线版，求职者能搜索到市内、国内甚至国外的一些工作机会。
马德琳·格拉格和内德扎德·多兹里克也是通过轻点鼠标，在网上碰到了好运。
1996年，圣路易斯的一名高中老师，28岁的马德琳·格拉格，想换个工作。有个朋友提到在日本教书的事，格拉格很感兴趣。
她访问了著名的yahoo!网站，输入了teaching English in Japan(在日本教英语)，找到了一个招聘机会的列表，然后按照在线申请的要求提交了申请。一星期后，她接到一个电话，与芝加哥的一名招聘人员进行了面试，得到了这份工作。
27岁的内德扎德·多兹里克，当时在浏览Houston Chronicle网站，了解最新的棒球消息。在线时，他查看了分类广告，发现一家当地的汽车交易商招聘司机。多兹里克是波斯尼亚的战争难民，曾从事过多种不同的工作，但现在他想换个工作。他从该交易商的网站上了解了该职位的更多情况，然后拨通了上面提供的电话。两天后，他被雇用了。“真有意思，”他说，“我本来只是在查看体育消息，结果却找到了一份更好的工作。”
因特网的另一个好处在于你能够搜索到一些可能的雇主。1997年夏天，温蒂·梅洛开始找工作，她登录到CareerBuilder网站，发现在马里兰州哥伦比亚的Artitron媒体信息服务公司的人力资源部有一个空缺。梅洛鼠标一点，用电子邮件把简历寄到了该公司，很快就收到面试通知。
为了了解该公司的更多情况，她又点击了Artitron的主页，以及它的母公司Ceridian Corp.的主页，查看了一份该公司的年度报告及其财政状况。
梅洛还想了解，要想维持现有的生活水平，自己该赚多少钱。她使用在线薪酬计算器，把自己目前的收入$34,000输进去，再输入Baltimore(巴尔的摩，离哥伦比亚最近的大城市)。短短几秒钟后，电脑屏幕上就闪现出$44,000。“因为有了这个薪酬计算器，我才知道自己该要多少薪水，”梅洛说。
通过上网进入一家在线房地产服务公司网站，梅洛看到了可供租用的房子的彩色照片，包括很详细的楼面格局图。梅洛来到哥伦比亚时，她觉得自己完全做好了准备。面试成功了，第二天，她就得到了一份工作，薪金是47,8000美元。
“因特网很容易使用，而且确实有效，”一个求职者说道，“你还要什么呢?”
梦想的工作：大学生的选择
你想在哪儿工作? 一份新的调查结果显示，答案在很大程度上取决于你是创业型、理想型还是领袖型。
对最近的大学毕业生而言，求职很像在相亲约会时寻找一个伴侣。双方的性格扮演着重要的角色。人人都希望找一个可以真心交往的人，要是长相亮丽也绝无坏处。如果求职真是一场“相亲游戏”，那“谷歌”会是所有性格类型中最受欢迎的钻石王老五，而苹果和华尔特·迪士尼将紧随其后。
调查机构美国优信咨询公司在其对美国大学生进行的一年一度的调查中，请60 000余名调查对象列出他们心目中理想雇主的特点，并将调查结果分为七种性格类型：成就型寻找的是知名品牌以及只招聘最优秀最有才华人才的雇主;创业型想为成长迅速、工作环境富有创意的公司效力;求索型追求的是充满挑战的工作和变化多样的任务;和谐型寻求的是工作和生活的平衡与稳定的职业;逐利型欣赏的是有竞争力的底薪和可观的未来薪酬;理想型青睐的是友好的工作环境和较高的道德水准;而领袖型需要的是成为领导的机会和导师。
优信咨询接着要求大学生们列出他们最想为之效力的五家雇主。优信咨询没有给出综合评分的赢家，但在过去四年中每年都夺冠的谷歌仍然是最受欢迎的，在五种性格类型中高居榜首，在全部七种性格类型中都进入了前三。苹果公司在六种性格类型中进入了前三名，而迪士尼在五种中位列前三，理想型还将其列为第一，超过了谷歌。 机遇的魅力
“多样性对我们的业务和文化都至关重要，”凯尔•尤因说，他是谷歌在加州山景城的人才和拓展计划部经理。“员工必须能反应我们的用户群，这意味着我们需要雇用想法、背景、信仰和种族各异的员工。但吸引那么多人来谷歌的还是充满挑战的工作。”
银行降，政府升
谷歌以外，2011年最受欢迎的雇主名单不乏意外。首先，银行、石油公司和四大会计公司对商科学生已失去了昔日的一些光辉。银行业在金融危机中的角色，英国石油公司(BP)在墨西哥湾的漏油灾难所造成的环境和经济后果也许起了一定的作用。
此外，政府和非营利机构也迎来了一个丰收之年，在全部七种性格类型中都占据了前10名的半壁江山。中央情报局(CIA)和联邦调查局(FBI)在将政府机构列为首选的成就型中分别占了第一位和第二位，联合国、美国国务院、国家安全局也在这个类型中跻身前20名。 其他热门公司
成就型将政府机构视作通往飞黄腾达的门票，而理想型则可能将迪士尼视为地球上最幸福的地方，至少对于员工来说是如此。迪士尼给每个人提供的不只是工作。员工能得到非常优异的培训和继续培养，以拓展他们的职业生涯。还有众多机会可与公司主要领导沟通，更有在公司内得到晋升和调动的无限可能。苹果公司在商科学生中综合排名第二，在七种性格类型中的六种排名上升。公司吸引年轻人的一个可能原因是它的时尚手机、音乐播放器和平板电脑，以及它富有创意工作环境的盛名，优信咨询在斯德哥尔摩的首席执行官彼得•尼兰德如是说。
尼兰德还说，要说这个调查彰显了什么的话，那就是年轻人希望雇主能认同他们的价值观，适合他们的性格。“你看到的是年轻雇员在选择能肯定他们自我认知的那些公司，”他说，“如今，你的身份与你所效力的公司息息相关。你的工作情况强烈地反映出自身各方面的信息。” 广告委员会剪影
你可能不太清楚我们的名字，不过你肯定知道我们。59年来，广告委员会为美国创作了大量公益广告，出手及时，令人信服。我们提出的口号和创作的形象不仅令人难忘，而且能引起广泛关注，激励人们采取行动，挽救了无数的生命。广告委员会的作品所产生的久远影响，以及所引发的积极社会变革，由以下的结果可见一斑：
●95%的成年人和77%的儿童都知道黑熊斯莫奇和它那充满智慧的名言：“只有你才能预防森林火灾”。始于1944年的“黑熊斯莫奇预防森林火灾运动”，持续时间之长，知名度之大，在公益广告运动史上尚属罕见。
●广告委员会发起了“是朋友就不让朋友酒后驾车”的运动后，70%的美国人都劝阻过别人酒后不要驾车。1998年美国与酗酒有关的伤亡人数是15 935，是美国交通运输部有史以来最低的一年，而这条广告语是美国最广为人知的反酒后驾车的口号。
● 从1972年开始，“联合黑人大学基金会”(UNCF)就一直提醒着美国人，“天才可贵，岂容浪费”。基金会筹集了14亿多美元，资助300 000多名少数民族学生读完大学。
●撞车测试假人文斯和拉里于1985年与美国公众见面后，使用安全带的比率从21%增加到70%，挽救了大约75 000人的生命。
1942年，首次出现了公益广告这个类别，自那时起，广告委员会在我们这个不断变化的社会中扮演着越来越关键的角色。
战时广告委员会是一个私人建立的非盈利性机构，成立的初衷是为与二战有关的活动募集资助。战时广告委员会发起了很多公益广告运动，通过战时公债筹集了350亿美元，鼓励人们开发了50 000 000个战时菜园，告诫人们“一言不慎，千帆尽沉”，通过感染力极强的铆工罗奇的形象，吸收了2 000 000名女性加入劳动大军。二战结束后，总统要求战时广告委员会继续存在下去，以和平时期的公益广告机构的身份，帮助解决当时迫在眉睫的社会问题，因此广告委员会应运而生。
广告委员会的使命是精心挑选出若干重大社会问题，通过传播方案，激励人们采取相应的行动，在一定程度上改变社会现状。为了达到这个目的，广告委员会募集了广告业和传播业的精英志愿工作者，利用媒体的设施，以及工商业界和非营利团体的资源，来提高公民的意识，促进理解，激发行动。作为美国公益广告界最重要的制作者，广告委员会发起的公益广告运动超过1 000项，内容涉及制止犯罪和滥用毒品等重大问题，也使全美人民注意到虐待儿童、垃圾回收、艾滋病等问题。1995年，为了最大限度地发挥所有这些运动的影响力，广告委员会的董事会一致投票决定采取一项新的倡议，为期十年，来帮助不能为自己说话的美国人 —— 美国儿童。该项行动名为“承诺2000”，目的是提高认识，激励个人采取积极行动，使美国儿童能有更好的机会来充分发挥他们的潜力。
根据尼尔森网络测评公司的排名，在过去的两年中，广告委员会在互联网广告商中的排名一般都在前25位，2000年的显示量约为110亿次。广告委员会的网站上介绍了所有的这些运动。广告委员会保证，要在这个瞬息万变的传媒世界，为公益广告建立一个立足之地，并且忠于职守，保持警觉。
9月11日惨剧之后，美国人极为悲痛，恐惧心理挥之不去，信仰开始动摇，安全受到威胁，经济下降更趋严重。广告委员会主动联系联邦政府及美国重要的非营利机构，提出创作与危机相关的公益广告，在全国媒体播出。这些新广告的设计理念是教育和激励全体美国人民积极行动起来，使美国人民坚强起来，为最终战胜恐怖主义贡献力量。
广告的利与弊——尼尔.弗林
随便看看任何报纸，都能发现数以百计的广告。有些是复杂精美的整页展示，不过大部分出现在更合算的分类广告栏目下。个人和公司投放广告的原因五花八门。我们能看到职位空缺、新产品、有人要买卖房屋汽车、出生公告、讣告、寂寞芳心寻求伴侣、家政服务，如此种种，不一而足，而且种类日益丰富。
广告的好处毋庸置疑。大公司迫切需要依赖广告使产品为消费者所知。这些公司对我国体育运动的发展起了非常重要的作用。没有它们的赞助，我们将无法举办国际体育赛事。绝大多数杂志和期刊也因为广告而得以生存。投放广告的个人或公司提供了杂志运营的必需资金。双方皆大欢喜。出版商得以维持生意，而广告者得以卖出产品。不过，有些杂志经过一段时间后似乎违背了它们的初衷，因为刊登的广告太多了。
对想要招聘工人的雇主而言，广告提供了招到工人的最有效的方法之一。除了使用广告，雇主还有什么别的方法让求职者知道有工作可找?通过在报纸上刊登广告，可以有效地到达全国范围，选择最佳的求职者。
对那些想要买卖房屋、汽车和其他东西的人来说也是如此。通过广告，他们可以联系到在日常生活中通常接触不到的人群。同样，可以选择最佳的买家或卖家，以最划算的价格成交。 总之，广告扩展了人们的选择和机会，不管是想买到东西还是卖掉东西都是如此。尽管广告好处多多，但有时也会被一些不择手段的人加以滥用。误导公众是广告弊病最常见的形式。我们来看一些广告人所采用的骗人伎俩。
在一场国际体育赛事中，我们能看到某流行品牌香烟的标志无所不在。人人都知道吸烟对健康毫无好处，但这些做广告的人公然无视事实，仍然推销他们的产品，就连有关当局也对这一切熟视无睹。如今，广告商已经开始给他们广告加上伪装。他们不是直接推销香烟，而是拐弯抹角地推销时尚、优质生活和“成功”的其他表现形式。
广告的弊病在电视上体现得最为明显。整整十分钟的洗发水、发乳、零食、洗衣粉和香体喷雾的连番轰炸，有谁能安之若素地坐着忍受?实在是太过分了!更可恶的是，它们总是在节目最精彩的部分即将播映之前出现!它们不仅震惊我们的心理，还有条不紊地麻痹和摧残我们的头脑，直到我们对广告视而不见，对它们的聒噪听而不闻。如果广告商能减少广告数量，对广告持着审慎的态度，对所有的观众来说肯定是福音。目前的电视广告是基于硬性推销和对观众无休无止的侵袭。
再说，他们的广告内容有多少是以事实为基础的?使用某种牌子的洗发水真能去除头屑吗?以我的亲身经验，答案绝对是否定的。食用某些食品会让我们更健康吗?那为什么医院总是人满为患?使用某种牌子的皂粉真能让衣服更洁净吗?拥有某种型号的汽车真能让车主更幸福吗?如果我们不希望被广告忽悠的话，这些都是我们必须要问的问题。
因此，我们可以看出，广告不仅有积极作用，也可能有消极作用，全看怎么使用了。人们投放广告是由于需要使然，只有在他们推销虚假的东西和误导人的信息时才会出现弊病。我们不能逃避广告的狂轰滥炸，但我们可以用自己的智慧剔除那些不良广告。
梦断魂萦
在纽约，美国花样滑冰队的18名成员踌躇满志地登上飞机。他们将飞往比利时的布鲁塞尔，在那儿转机，到(前)捷克斯洛伐克去参加在布拉格举办的世界花样滑冰锦标赛。站在比利时沙比那航空公司的707喷气机的舷梯上，全体成员合影留念。这批全美顶尖的滑冰运动员在照相机前笑脸盈盈，开心地笑着，眼睛里舞动着激动与兴奋。这将成为他们生命中珍贵的一刻。
机上有三对双人组合，其中两对是兄妹组合：希科克斯兄妹和哈德利兄妹，另一对是夫妻搭档，迪宁夫妇。但众星之中最耀眼的是一名单人滑选手。她叫劳伦斯·欧文，人称“劳利”。年仅16岁的她，两天前刚夺得北美花样滑冰女子冠军。劳利技巧娴熟，优雅无比，笑靥如花。
劳利出生于滑冰世家。母亲玛丽贝尔曾九次将美国花样滑冰冠军收入囊中。劳利还有一个姐姐，与母亲同名。玛丽贝尔·欧文20岁，实力不如劳利，但也刚刚获得美国双人滑大龄组的冠军。欧文家的三员女将都在飞往布鲁塞尔的航班上。
1961年2月14日下午7点30分，沙比那548号航班起飞了。飞越大西洋的航程是很惬意的。第二天一早，飞机飞临布鲁塞尔的机场，没有任何异常。驾驶飞机的路易斯·兰布莱奇机长，没有发出任何遇难信号。该地区没有暴风雨，也没有大风。事实上，天气很好，暖和而晴朗。
但驾驶员座舱肯定出了什么差错。在预定着陆的最后几分钟内，兰布莱奇机长没有与布鲁塞尔机场联系。快到上午十点时，他放下了起落架，开始着陆。但在最后一刻，他又把飞机机头拉起往上攀升。也许他看见另一架飞机正在起飞，害怕撞机。也许他已经知道他的飞机出了故障。不管怎么样，他绕着机场飞了一圈，再次尝试着陆。
兰布莱奇第二次出现了，飞过布鲁塞尔东北部的一个叫博格的村庄附近的农场，飞行了大约500英尺。突然他猛地提速，飞机急遽攀升。这时候，布鲁塞尔控制塔的官员们知道大事不妙了。“我们眼睁睁地看着惨剧发生，”有个官员说。“他们的反应够快的了，可是无能为力，”他说。
有个坐火车的人看见飞机出问题了。“飞机好像准备正常着陆，突然又攀升到天空，”他说。“然后掉了下来，像块大石头一样，接着我们就听见了爆炸声。”
10点05分，飞机撞到地面爆炸了，燃成了一团火球。还险些就撞上一排房子。机上72人全部遇难，其中包括49名美国人和11名机组人员。人们无能为力。失事现场一片狼藉。碎片散落到200码开外。烧焦的残骸以及肢体满地都是。机上的几对夫妇最后一次紧紧抱在一起。
这场空难震惊了全球滑冰界以及热爱花样滑冰的人们。滑冰界以前从来没有发生过类似的惨剧。为了纪念遇难者，布拉格的冠军赛取消了。
这次坠机对某些家庭尤其令人悲痛欲绝。欧文家三名女性全部丧生。除此之外，还有九个家庭至少痛失两名亲人。
明星们的希望和梦想在一瞬间破灭了。救援人员仔细搜寻了遇难现场，只找到三双已经烧焦的冰鞋，在残留的机翼上摇曳。
给学子的忠告：教育很重要
每年都有数以百计的学生给我发电子邮件，要我就接受教育给他们提建议。他们想知道该学些什么，或者可不可以从大学辍学，因为我就没有读完大学。
也有不少家长给我写信，为子女寻求指导。他们问：“我们怎样才能把孩子引向成功之路?”
我的基本忠告很简单，而且是发自内心的：全力获得最佳教育，充分利用高中和大学，学会如何学习。
不错，为创建微软，我未完成大学学业，不过辍学之前我已经在哈佛待了三年，而且我真心希望有一天能重返校园。以前我也说过，谁也不应该辍学，除非他坚信自己正面临着一个一生仅有一次的机会，但就算在那个时候也还是应该深思熟虑。
在俄亥俄州教六年级的老师凯茜•克里德兰写道，“我的好几个学生声称你根本没有读完高中。因为你成功了，我的学生就觉得他们也可以不必接受良好的教育。”
我高中毕业了的!
计算机行业中确实有很多人没有读完大学，但是我从来没有见过有谁高中没读完就成功创业的。确切地说，我认识的人当中根本没有高中辍学的，更没有高中辍学后事业成功的。
我的公司创立早期，有一个相当出色的兼职程序员，声称要从高中辍学来做全职。我们叫他不要这么做。
我们公司里确实有好些人没有读完大学，但我们不希望人们辍学。谁要想在我们公司谋职，有毕业证书肯定会优先考虑。
不一定只有在大学才能获取信息，在图书馆也可以学习。但人家递给你一本书并不能自动地让你学到东西。你需要向别人学习，提问题，将设想付诸实践，设法检验自己的能力。这一切，往往不是读一两本书就可以做得到的。
接受的教育应该是广泛的，虽然对某些领域情有独钟也不失为一件好事。
读高中时，我有一段时间醉心于软件编写，但大部分时间里，我的学习兴趣相当广泛。我父母鼓励我这么做，对此我感激不尽。
大学期间，我修了很多不同的课程，但我从头至尾只选修了一门计算机课。我读书涉猎很广。
有位家长写信说，她15岁的儿子“钻进计算机这个洞里了”。他的网站设计课得了“A”，但别的科目分数都在下降，她写道。
这个男孩犯了一个错误。高中和 大学给你提供了最佳机会，你可以广泛学习——数学，历史，各种学科——有机会跟着别的孩子一起做项目，亲身感受到群体的动力。你对计算机、舞蹈、语言或其他任何的科目有深入的兴趣也无可厚非，但太偏执而危及学习广度就不是一件好事了。
如果高中阶段兴趣过于集中，你会面临两个问题。第一个就是进了大学以后你很可能没法改变。另一个问题就是如果分数不够高，你就很难考入大学，而无法跟那些积极性很高，很有才华的学生一起学习，他们可以真正帮助你了解这个世界。
大学期间可以考虑专业的问题。深入掌握自己感兴趣领域的专业知识，能够引导你走向成功，除非这个专业没有发展前途，或者你并不很擅长这个方面。读研究生是获取专业知识的一个途径，虽然从纯经济角度来看，大学教育时间过长不一定算是明智的投资。
克里斯托弗·里夫 — 真正的超人
他“比飞速前行的子弹还快，比火车头更有力，轻轻一跃就能跳上高大的建筑物。”他就是全世界最伟大的超级英雄。1977年，克里斯托弗·里夫出演超人系列电影，全国观众欢呼喝彩。克里斯托弗活跃、英俊、强壮，一如影片中的超人，而且似乎战无不胜。他滑雪、驾船、驾驶飞机、潜水、骑马、打网球，无一不是技艺高超，挥洒自如。谁也无法想象克里斯托弗会是另外一种样子。
1995年5月27日，一切都改变了。当时克里斯托弗和妻子达纳·莫罗西尼带着年幼的儿子威尔待在弗吉尼亚州。他参加了一项为期三天的马术比赛。他的坐骑“东方快车”看上去状态颇佳。42岁的克里斯托弗也显得同样神采奕奕，气定神闲。
对克里斯托弗而言，比赛进行得很顺利，虽没有名列前茅，但也没有落到最后。但在一场两英里的障碍赛中，第三次跨越障碍时，马和骑手之间不知怎么失去了默契。“东方快车”突然停了下来，可是克里斯托弗还在继续前行，他身子飞过马的头顶，头部着地摔了下来：一动不动，甚至没有呼吸。
克里斯托弗颅腔底部的脊柱折断了，导致颈部以下瘫痪。他不能说话，甚至无法自主呼吸。当时医生们认为他的生存几率只有50%。
绝望攫住了克里斯托弗·里夫的心。他想，也许放弃生存的努力是最佳的方案。死亡似乎是最不费劲、痛苦最少的一件事。他想放弃生存对家人而言也是最佳方案。但这时他看见妻子达纳站在他身边，对他说：“你依然是你。我爱你。”
从那一刻开始，克里斯托弗一心只想着活下去。他鼓起勇气，开始为生命而战斗。几天以后，克里斯托弗接受了手术，术后他的上半身恢复了一些知觉。不过，医生们仍然不乐观。他可能永远不能再走路了。他也许永远就只能靠着呼吸器来呼吸了。
克里斯托弗要证明医生们错了。首先，他想靠自己呼吸。事故过后5个月，他要求拿掉呼吸器。他只勉强地呼吸了10次就得重新连上呼吸管。克里斯托弗毫不气馁，第2天又多呼吸了几次。到第4天的时候，他不用帮助可以呼吸7分钟了。3个月以后，他可以一次持续呼吸90分钟。1995年底，他已经可以回家了。
在那以后不久，克里斯托弗觉得自己已经做好准备，可以重新面对世界了。他有话要说。他想告诉人们，不论面对怎样的挑战，都不能放弃。他开始频频在公众场合出现，在多伦多作过激扬的演说，在波士顿大学毕业典礼上进行过讲演。不论克里斯托弗出现在哪里，人们都起立喝彩，很多人甚至泪流满面。
克里斯托弗同样也重新开始了工作。很显然，他不可能再去扮演以前的角色了，于是转而执导。他的处女作影片《暮色如斯》证明创作灵感并没有离他而去。
虽然克里斯托弗很坚强，但也还是有不顺心的时候。事故后的一年里，他面临着血栓问题，后来又得了肺炎。有一天做理疗时，他摔在地上，折断了一条胳膊。
每天他都要与自身现实做斗争。“早晨，我需要20分钟去哭泣，”他对一个记者说。在梦中和儿子奔跑玩耍，梦醒之后他需要20分钟来“清醒和调整„„”。
但擦干眼泪后，克里斯托弗总会悄声说：“好了，前进!”这些话证明，尽管他无法控制自己的身体，但仍拥有他的勇气，他的精神，他的内在力量。在这个意义上，他依旧是—也将永远是—超人!
