1、Unit4FreshStartIn-ClassReadingFreshStart新的初步當(dāng)我父親母親開(kāi)車(chē)離開(kāi)，留下我可憐巴巴地站在泊車(chē)場(chǎng)上時(shí)，我開(kāi)始尋思我在校園里該做什么。我決定我最想做的就是安然無(wú)事地回到宿舍。我感覺(jué)仿佛校園里的每一個(gè)人都在看著我。我拿定想法：豎起耳朵，閉上嘴巴，希望他人不知道我是重生。次日清晨我找到了上第一堂課的教室，大步走了進(jìn)去。但是，進(jìn)了教室，我又遇到了一個(gè)難題。坐哪兒呢？躊躇一再，我挑了第一排邊上的一個(gè)座位。“歡迎你們來(lái)聽(tīng)生物101課，”教授開(kāi)始上課。天哪，我還認(rèn)為這里是文學(xué)課呢！我的脖子后邊直冒盜汗，摸出課程表查對(duì)了一下教室我走對(duì)了教室，卻走錯(cuò)了教課樓。怎么辦？上課

2、途中就站起來(lái)走出去？教授會(huì)不會(huì)生氣？大家一定會(huì)盯著我看。算了吧。我仍是穩(wěn)坐在坐位上，盡量使自己看起來(lái)和生物專業(yè)的學(xué)生相同仔細(xì)。下了課我感覺(jué)有點(diǎn)餓，便趕快去自助食堂。我往托盤(pán)里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在這時(shí)，我無(wú)心中踩到了一大灘番茄醬。手中的托盤(pán)傾斜了，我失掉了均衡。就在我屁股著地的頃刻間，我看見(jiàn)自己整個(gè)人生在眼前一閃而過(guò)，而后停止在大學(xué)上課的第一天。摔倒后的幾秒鐘里，我想假如沒(méi)有人看見(jiàn)我方才的窘相該有多好啊。可是，食堂里全部的學(xué)生都站了起來(lái)，鼓掌喝彩，我知道他們不單看見(jiàn)了方才的情形，并且下信心要我永久都不會(huì)忘記這一幕。接下來(lái)的三天里，我單獨(dú)品味侮辱，用以充饑的也不過(guò)些從宿舍外的售貨機(jī)上買(mǎi)來(lái)

3、的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感覺(jué)自己極需增補(bǔ)一些真實(shí)意義上的食品。或許三時(shí)節(jié)間已經(jīng)足以讓校園里的人把我忘在腦后了。于是我去了食堂。我好不簡(jiǎn)單排隊(duì)取了食品，踮腳走到一張桌子前坐下。忽然我聽(tīng)到一陣熟習(xí)的“嘩啦”摔倒聲。仰頭看見(jiàn)一個(gè)可憐的家伙遭受了和我相同的命運(yùn)。當(dāng)人們開(kāi)始像對(duì)待我那樣鼓掌喝彩的時(shí)候，我對(duì)他滿懷憐憫。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，雙手緊握高舉在頭頂上，做出成功的姿勢(shì)。我猜想他會(huì)像我相同溜出食堂，可他卻轉(zhuǎn)身從頭盛一盤(pán)食品。就在那一刻，我意識(shí)到我把自己看得太重了。我能否摔了個(gè)托盤(pán)，坐在教室的哪個(gè)地點(diǎn)，甚至能否走錯(cuò)了教室，有誰(shuí)會(huì)在意呢？沒(méi)有人在意。這不像在中學(xué)。在大學(xué)里，這些都沒(méi)關(guān)緊急。我完整能夠按自

4、己的意向行事。一旦意識(shí)到我不用考慮他人的希望，只需自己滿意就行，我感覺(jué)豁然。我開(kāi)始把大學(xué)看作一個(gè)美好的實(shí)驗(yàn)。我稍稍改變了自己的衣著，開(kāi)始賞識(shí)爵士樂(lè)，還認(rèn)定自己喜愛(ài)光著腳走路。在接下來(lái)的大學(xué)生活里，我不再試圖做出什么姿態(tài)，而是自然而然。大學(xué)，在我看來(lái)，或許是獨(dú)一一個(gè)出錯(cuò)誤能夠獲得完整體諒的階段（包含踩到番茄醬，摔了托盤(pán)）。于是，我利用這個(gè)時(shí)機(jī)來(lái)體驗(yàn)我認(rèn)為自己可能會(huì)犯的全部過(guò)錯(cuò)。大學(xué)畢業(yè)已經(jīng)三年了，我仍舊時(shí)有過(guò)錯(cuò)。此中的一些過(guò)錯(cuò)我甚至仍是獲得了諒解。After-ClassReadingCollege-aNewBeginning大學(xué)一個(gè)新的初步“今日上午早些時(shí)候，我與一位同事通電話。他告訴我，今日我

5、不用到辦公室來(lái)，由于正是重生入學(xué)的時(shí)候，校園里全部都亂套了。他說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。真的是一團(tuán)糟。校園里有數(shù)百輛車(chē)，載著汗出如漿的重生、他們的家人、還有很多行李。父親母親們?yōu)楹螘r(shí)候泊車(chē)、在哪里泊車(chē)、能否要泊車(chē)爭(zhēng)吵不斷。校警全力以赴指揮交通，可是他們知道，今日不得不同意人們違犯一些規(guī)則了。這是一年中最慌亂的日子，這一點(diǎn)毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)。這也是我最喜愛(ài)的日子。”這是夏洛特J.帕特森在迎新致辭中的開(kāi)場(chǎng)白。作為弗吉尼亞大學(xué)的一位心理學(xué)教授，帕特森對(duì)重生如數(shù)家珍：她認(rèn)識(shí)他們的希望、夢(mèng)想和顧忌。在開(kāi)學(xué)的這天成為大學(xué)一年級(jí)學(xué)買(mǎi)賣(mài)味著什么？帕特森教授認(rèn)為它意味著一個(gè)嶄新的初步。她接著說(shuō)：“它使我想起了積雪融化的初春節(jié)氣。你不論踩

6、到哪里都會(huì)濺起水花。但即即是又冷又濕，我也沒(méi)法使自己惱恨那些日子，由于它們明示著春季的到臨。重生的到來(lái)讓學(xué)校變得一團(tuán)糟，但我相同沒(méi)法厭煩這件事。重生到達(dá)鎮(zhèn)上，就像綠色的新芽從四周冒出來(lái)，找尋陽(yáng)光。當(dāng)他們從宿舍的窗戶里探出頭來(lái)時(shí)，就仿佛古老的大樹(shù)上綻出的新芽。或許有人會(huì)擔(dān)憂陽(yáng)光能否充分，土壤能否肥沃，霜凍能否降臨，可是關(guān)于幼苗和大學(xué)重生來(lái)說(shuō)，能夠存活，能夠跨進(jìn)大學(xué)的校門(mén)，就足夠了。“是的，今日是重生活的開(kāi)始。昨天你們?nèi)允菋寢尩暮⒆樱≡诩依铮唤袢眨銈円呀?jīng)是大學(xué)的重生，開(kāi)始獨(dú)立生活了。重生！我喜愛(ài)這個(gè)稱號(hào)。這個(gè)稱呼自己讓人想到一個(gè)問(wèn)題。我們?cè)谧x這個(gè)詞時(shí)，應(yīng)當(dāng)把重音放在新上呢，還是放在生上？怎么讀
