前言

　　2004年1月，教育部頒布了《大學(xué)英語課程教學(xué)要求（試行）》，將大學(xué)英語的教學(xué)目標(biāo)確定為“培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的英語綜合應(yīng)用能力，特別是聽說能力，使他們?cè)诮窈蠊ぷ骱蜕鐣?huì)交往中能用英語有效地進(jìn)行口頭和書面的信息交流，同時(shí)增強(qiáng)其自主學(xué)習(xí)能力，提高綜合文化素養(yǎng)，以適應(yīng)我國(guó)社會(huì)發(fā)展和國(guó)際交流的需要”，提出了分層次（即“一般要求”、“較高要求”和“更高要求”）和分類指導(dǎo)的教學(xué)要求。與此同時(shí)，教育部在全國(guó)180所院校開展多媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)的試點(diǎn)，推廣具有個(gè)性化學(xué)習(xí)特征的多媒體網(wǎng)絡(luò)教學(xué)系統(tǒng)，并于2005年2月頒布了《全同大學(xué)英語四、六級(jí)考試改革方案（試行）》，2007年7月又下發(fā)了修訂后的《大學(xué)英語課程教學(xué)要求》。這些舉措進(jìn)一步推動(dòng)了我國(guó)高校大學(xué)英語教學(xué)全方位的改革和教學(xué)質(zhì)量的全面提升。新世紀(jì)的教學(xué)改革呼喚新的教材不斷誕生。這既是時(shí)代的召喚，也是歷史的必然。正是在這樣的時(shí)代背景下，上海外語教育出版社于2004年初組織全國(guó)數(shù)十所高校啟動(dòng)了“新世紀(jì)大學(xué)英語系列教材”建設(shè)項(xiàng)目。項(xiàng)目開始之初，外教社以書面問卷、個(gè)別訪談和集體座談等形式在全國(guó)數(shù)十所高校中進(jìn)行了廣泛的調(diào)查研究，并請(qǐng)專家對(duì)編寫方案進(jìn)行了多次論證。在上海外語教育出版社莊智象社長(zhǎng)的直接領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和籌劃下，經(jīng)過三年多的努力，我們編寫了這套“新世紀(jì)大學(xué)英語系列教材”，力圖為新世紀(jì)形勢(shì)下的我國(guó)大學(xué)英語教材建設(shè)作出新的嘗試和努力。經(jīng)教育部認(rèn)定，這套教材已被列入“普通高等教育‘十一五’國(guó)家級(jí)規(guī)劃教材”。在編寫過程中，我們力求體現(xiàn)以下一些編寫理念和特色：（一）堅(jiān)持人本主義教育觀。在確立“新世紀(jì)大學(xué)英語系列教材”的指導(dǎo)思想時(shí)，我們強(qiáng)調(diào)教學(xué)過程中的人的因素，強(qiáng)調(diào)“以學(xué)生為中心”，重視開發(fā)學(xué)習(xí)者的自我潛能，注重“情感”和“態(tài)度”在學(xué)習(xí)活動(dòng)中的作用和力量，力圖使學(xué)生成為“自我實(shí)現(xiàn)者”。與此同時(shí)，我們認(rèn)為，教師必須在課堂內(nèi)外發(fā)揮指導(dǎo)作用，指導(dǎo)學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)。（二）尊重外語教學(xué)的普遍規(guī)律和在國(guó)內(nèi)學(xué)習(xí)英語的客觀條件，充分考慮“人”、“語言”和“社會(huì)”之間存在的互為依存、互動(dòng)互促、密不可分的關(guān)系，開拓學(xué)習(xí)者的跨文化交際視野，讓學(xué)生置身于廣闊的社會(huì)文化情景之中，養(yǎng)成用英語進(jìn)行思維的習(xí)慣，做到學(xué)有所思、思有所得、得有所用，從而不再感到英語是身外之物，實(shí)現(xiàn)英語綜合運(yùn)用能力和學(xué)習(xí)者人格、素質(zhì)的同步提升。

章節(jié)摘錄

　　The graying of America has many health-care planners worried. The life expectancies ofeven the very old （85 and older） have increased significantly in recent years. But at the same time,this group faces the highest risk of chronic disease and disability requiring long-term care. Payingfor this care could wipe out the entire life savings of many people within a year.The number of Americans aged 85 and older is expected to grow three to four times as fast asthe general population between 1990 and 2010 and is expected to increase from 2 million in 1980to 16 million by the year 2050. Of major significance for long-term care are the lengthening lifeexpectancies at age 85, which have increased 24% since 1960 and are projected to increase another44% by 2040.While only 5% of Americans over 65 currently reside in nursing homes, that percentage risessharply with age. Twenty-two percent of persons 85 and older live in nursing homes.According to national estimates, one year in a nursing home costs an average of $22,000, andthis figure is expected to more than double by 2018. Given that the mean income for Americansaged 65 and older is currently $19,000, most people in that age group will simply not be able tostay in nursing homes.Two possible routes for private insurance plans are individual plans and employer-sponsored plans. Individual policies covering long-term care are currently the most widelyavailable coverage. In 1983, only .16 companies offered individual long-term care policies;in 1988, there were more than 100. By 1987, about 400,000 people owned long-term careinsurance; in 1988, there were more than l million. However, these are mostly youngerworkers. The number of those over 65 with such policies today is still relatively small, atapproximately 100,000.
