Unit 1 Passages of human growth
(1) During each of these passages, how we feel about our way of living will undergo subtle changes in four areas of perception. One is the interior sense of self in relation to others. A second is the proportion of safeness to danger we feel in our lives. A third is our perception of time—do we have plenty of it, or are we beginning to feel that time is running out? Last, there will be some shift at the gut level in our sense of aliveness or stagnation. These are the hazy sensations that compose the background tone of living and shape the decisions on which we take action.
在这些变化和转折中,我们对生活方式的看法要经历四个感知方面的微妙的变化:第一,在内心中对自己和他人的看法;第二,当生活的各种威胁而所具有的安全感;第三,是我们对时间的认识,是感到来日方长,还是开始感到时日无多?最后是对自己的精力活力的直觉意识,是感到精力充沛,还是感到力不从心?这些都是在我们内心里产生的若明若暗的感觉,它们构成了我们生活的基调,影响着我们采取行动的种种决定。
(2) The tasks of this passage are of to locate ourselves in a peer group role, a sex role, an anticipated occupation, an ideology or world view. As a result, we gather the impetus to leave home physically and the identity to begin leaving home emotionally.

(3) Buoyed by powerful illusions and belief in the power of the will, we commonly insist in our twenties that what we have chosen to do is the one true course in life. Our backs go up at the merest hint that we are like our parents, that two decades of parental training might be reflected in our current actions and attitudes.
由于幻想的鼓舞和支持以及对自己的意志充满信心,我们在二十几岁时普遍认定自己所选择的道路是人生真正的事业所在。如果有人说我们很像自己的父母,说我们的言行举止是父母二十多年来教育和熏陶的结果,我们会很不高兴。
Unit 2 AIDS in the third world — A global disaster
It took several years for the virus to break out of Congos dense and sparsely populated jungles but, once it did, it marched with rebel armies through the continents numerous war zones, rode with truckers from one rest-stop brothel to the next, and eventually flew, perhaps with an air steward, to America, where it was discovered in early 1980s.
