1、 Ole and TrufaThe forest was large and thickly overgrown with all kinds of leaf-bearing trees. Usually, it is cold this time of year and it even happens that it snow, but this November was relatively warm. You might have thought it was summer except that the whole forest was strewn with fallen leave

2、ssome yellow as saffron, some red as wine, some the color of gold and some of mixed color. The leaves had been torn down by the rain, by the wind, some by day, some at night, and they now formed a deep carpet over the forest floor. Although their juices had run dry, the leaves still exuded a pleasan

3、t aroma. The sun shone down on them through the living branches, and worms and flies which had somehow survived the autumn storms crawled over them. The space beneath the leaves provided hiding places for crickets, field mice and many other creatures who sought protection in the earth.这是一座很大很茂密的森林，长

4、满生有各种各样叶子的树。通常，每年的这个时候天气很冷了，甚至下雪了，可是这个十一月比较暖和，如果不是满林子的落叶桔黄的，酒红的，金黄的，还有杂色的也许以为还是夏天呢。这些落叶有些在白天，有些在夜里被雨打落，被风吹落，如今它们在森林的地面上形成了一条厚厚的落叶毯子。尽管已干枯，落叶仍散发出好闻的香味。阳光透过树枝照耀着它们，落叶上爬动着在秋天的暴风雨中不知怎么存活下来的虫子、苍蝇。落叶底下也为蟋蟀们提供了藏身之所，田鼠和许多其它生物也在大地上找寻庇护。On the tip of a tree which had lost all its other leaves, two still remai

5、ned hanging from one twig: Ole and Trufa. For some reason unknown to them, Ole and Trufa had survived all the rains, all the cold nights and winds. Who knows the reason one leaf falls and another remains? But Ole and Trufa believed the answer lay in the great love they bore one another. Ole was slig

6、htly bigger than Turfa and a few days older, but Trufa was prettier and more delicate. One leaf can do little for another when the wind blows, the rain pours, or the hail begins to fall. Still, Ole encouraged Ttufa at every opportunity. During the worst storms, when the thunder clapped, the lightnin

7、g flashed and the wind tore off not only leaves but even whole branches, Ole pleaded with Trufa: Hang on, Trufa! Hand on with all your might!在一棵其它叶子都落了的树梢上，还有两片挂在一根细枝上：这是奥立和特鲁法。奥立和特鲁法也不知道为什么他们在所有的雨、寒夜和风中幸存了下来。没有人知道为什么有的树叶会飘落下来而有的树叶依旧长在树上？可是奥立和特鲁法认为答案在于他们深深地爱着对方。奥立比特鲁法年长几天，外形略大于特鲁法，可是特鲁法更漂亮精致。每当刮风下雨或

8、开始下冰雹时，一片树叶并不能为另一片做些什么。然而每到这个时候，奥立都鼓励特鲁法。在最恶劣的暴风雨里，雷鸣电闪，狂风不仅刮落树叶，甚至刮断整根树枝，奥立央求着特鲁法：坚持，特鲁法！尽你的全力坚持住！ At times during cold and stormy nights, Trufa would complain: My time had come, Ole, but you hand on!What for? Ole asked. Without you, my life is senseless. If you fall, Ill fall with you.有时在寒冷的暴风雨之夜，

9、特鲁法会抱怨：我的时间到了，奥立，可是你要坚持住！为了什么理由呢？奥立问。没有你我的生命毫无意义，如果你掉下去，我将跟你一起掉下去！NO, Ole, dont do it! So long as a leaf can stay up it mustnt let go.It all depends if you stay with me, Ole replied. By day I look at you and admire your beauty. At night I sense your fragrance. Be the only leaf on a tree? No never!不，

10、奥立，别这样！一片树叶只要能留在树上就不应该松手往下掉。这全得靠你是否留下来陪我。奥立回答。白天我看着你爱慕你的美丽，夜里感觉着你的芬芳。只我一片树叶留在树上？决不！Ole, your words are so sweet but theyre not true, Trufa said. You know very well that Im no longer pretty.Look how wrinkled I am, how shriveled Ive become! Only one thing is still left memy love for you.特鲁法说：奥立，你的话真让我

11、高兴，可是你说得不对。你很清楚我不漂亮了，看我多皱，变得多枯萎了啊！我唯一剩下的就是我爱你。Isnt that enough? Of all our powers love the highest, the finest, Ole said. So long as we love each other we remain here, and no wind, rain or storm can destroy us. Ill tell you something, TrufaI never loved you as much as I love you now.Why, Ole? Why? I

12、m all yellow.Who says green is pretty and yellow is not? All colors are equally handsome.奥立说：那不就够了吗？爱是所有力量中最高尚、最美好的。只要我们在这里彼此相爱，就没有风，没有雨或暴风雪能毁灭我们。告诉你，特鲁法，我从来没有像现在这么爱你。为什么，奥立？为什么，我已经完全枯黄了。谁说绿色漂亮黄色就不漂亮了？所有的色彩都同样漂亮。And just as Ole spoke these words, that which Trufa had feared all these months happened

13、a wind came up and tore Ole loose from the twig. Trufa began to tremble and flutter until it seemed that she, too, would soon be torn away, but she held fast. She saw Ole fall and sway in the air, and she called to him in leafy language: Ole! Come back! Ole! Ole!But before she could even finish, Ole

14、 vanished from sight. He blended in with the other leaves on the ground, and Trufa was left all alone on the tree.奥立刚说完这些话，特鲁法这几个月里一直害怕的事发生了一阵风刮来从细枝上拉扯松了奥立。特鲁法开始颤抖、晃动，似乎她很快也要被刮落了，可是她牢牢抓住了。她看到奥立掉了下去在空中摇晃着，她用叶子的语言大声喊：奥立，回来！回来啊，奥立！可是她甚至话都没能说完，奥立就从视野里消失了。他跟地上的其它落叶混合在一起，而特鲁法孤伶伶地留在了树上。So long as it was st

15、ill day, Trufa managed somehow to endure her grief. But when it grew dark and cold and a piercing rain began to fall, she sank into despair. Somehow she felt that the blame for all the leafy misfortunes lay with the tree, the trunk with all its mighty limbs. Leaves fell, but the trunk stood tall, th

16、ick and firmly rooted in the ground. No wind, rain or hail could upset it. What did it matter to a tree, which probably lived forever, what become of a leaf? To Trufa, the trunk was a kind of god. It covered itself with leaves for a few months, then it shookthem off. It nourished them with its sap f

17、or as long as it pleased, then it let them die of thirst. Trufa pleaded with the tree to give her back her Ole, to make it summer again, but the tree didnt heed her prayers.只要天还没黑，特鲁法不管怎样还能设法忍受悲痛。可是天渐渐黑冷下来，并开始下起刺骨的雨，她绝望了。不知怎么地她觉得所有树叶不幸的责任要怪树，要怪长有巨大树枝的树干。树叶掉了，而树干仍旧高大牢固地扎根在大地上，没有风雨或冰雹能掀翻它。这些对树有什么要紧呢，它

18、有可能永远存活下去，可是成为一片树叶呢？在特鲁法看来，树干就像上帝，它用树叶覆盖自己几个月，然后又抖落它们；在树干高兴的时候就用树的汁液滋养树叶，而后又渴死它们。特鲁法请求树把奥立还给她，让夏天再一次来临，可是树没有注意到它的祈求。Trufa didnt think a night could be so long as this oneso dark, so frosty. She spoke to Ole and hoped for an answer, but Ole was silent and gave no sign of his presence.Trufa said to th

19、e tree: Since youve taken Ole from me, take me too.But even this prayer the tree didnt acknowledge.特鲁法从没想到一个夜晚能像今晚这么长这么黑暗，这么严寒。她呼唤着奥立，希望能听到一声回答，可是奥立沉默着，没有给出一点他存在的迹象。特鲁法对树说道：既然你从我身边带走了奥立，把我也一起带走吧。可是甚至这个祈求树也没有注意。After a while, Trufa dozed off. This wasnt sleep but a strange languor. Trufa awoke and to

20、 her amazement found that she was no longer handing on the tree. The wind had blown her down while she was asleep. This was different from the way she used to feel when she awoke on the tree with the sunrise. All her fears and anxieties had now vanished. The awakening also brought with it an awarene

21、ss she had never felt before. She knew now that she wasnt just a leaf that depended on every whim of the wind, but that she was part of the universe. Through some mysterious force, Trufa understood the miracle of her molecules, atoms, protons and electronsthe enormous energy she represented and the

22、divine plan of which she was a part.片刻后，特鲁法打瞌睡了。这不是睡，而是让人不适的衰弱无力。醒来后，她吃惊地发现她不挂在树上了，睡着时风已把她刮了下来。这给了她不同于伴着日出醒来的感觉，她所有的害怕和焦虑此刻都消失了。这次醒来给了她前所未有的意识。她知道现在她不只是一片依赖于风的一时兴致的树叶了，她成为宇宙的一部分。通过某些神秘的力量，特鲁法了解了自身分子，原子，质子和电子的奇迹，她所代表的巨大能量以及她是其中一部分的神圣计划。Next to her lay Ole, and they greeted each other with a love they

23、 hadnt been aware of before. This wasnt a love that depended on chance or caprice, but a love as mighty and eternal as the universe itself. That which they had feared all the days and nights between April and November turned out to be not death but redemption. A breeze came and lifted Ole and Trufa

24、in the air and they soared with the bliss known only by those who have freed themselves and have joined with eternity. 爱思英语网奥立就躺在她身旁，他们怀着前所未有的爱问候对方。这不是依赖机会或反复无常的爱，这爱跟宇宙本身一样巨大和永恒。在四月至十一月间他们日日夜夜恐惧的结果却不是死亡而是解救。一阵和风把奥立和特鲁法带到空中，他们在只有解放自己进入永恒才能领悟到的无限幸福里冲入云宵。Four most harmful ingredients in packaged foods:

25、recipe for disasterNinety percent of Americans household food budget is spent on processed foods, the majority of which are filled with additives and stripped of nutrients. Discover which common ingredients in the foods you eat pose the greatest risk to your health.美国家庭食品预算的90%花在加工食品上，而这些食品打都富含食品添加剂

26、，缺乏营养。在食品中发现的常见配料对你的健康构成了最大的威胁。Grab the broccoli with cheese sauce from the freezer, the box of instant rice pilaf from the pantry, or the hot dogs from your fridge and squint at the ingredient lists fine print. Youll likely find food additives in every one.从冷库中取出抹了奶酪酱的西兰花，从食品储藏室取出一盒即食肉饭或从冰箱里拿出热狗，你眯

27、着眼睛看看配料表的小字，可能会从所有食物中找到食品添加剂。Is this healthy? Compared to the foods our bodies were built to eat, definitely not.这健康么？相对于我们身体生长所需的食物而言，这肯定是不健康的。Processed, packaged foods have almost completely taken over the diet of Americans. In fact, nearly 90 percent of our household food budget is spent on proce

28、ssed foods, according to industry estimates.加工、包装的食品几乎取代了美国人的饮食。据业内人士估计，事实上，美国近90%的家庭食品预算花在了加工食品上。Unfortunately, most processed foods are laden with sweeteners, salts,artificial flavors, factory-created fats, colorings, chemicals that alter texture, and preservatives. But the trouble is not just wha

29、ts been added, but whats been taken away. Processed foods are often stripped of nutrients designed by nature to protect your heart, such as soluble fiber, antioxidants, and good fats. Combine that with additives, and you have a recipe for disaster.不幸的是，大多数加工食品富含甜味剂、盐、人造香味剂、工厂制造的脂肪、色素、改变质感的化学品和防腐剂。但是

30、麻烦的并不只是食品中加了些什么，而是减少了什么。加工食品往往会破坏自然为保护你的心脏而设计的营养，比如可溶性纤维、抗氧化剂和“好”脂肪。加上添加剂，你就有了一份造成灾害的食谱。Here are the big four ingredients in processed foods you should look out for:以下是加工食品中你应该留意的四种配料：TRANS FATS反式脂肪Trans fats are in moist bakery muffins and crispy crackers, microwave popcorn and fast-food French fri

31、es, even the stick margarine you may rely on as a heart-healthy alternative to saturated-fat-laden butter.反式脂肪存在于湿润的烤制小松饼和脆饼干、微波爆米花和快餐炸薯条中，甚至你用来替代富含饱和脂肪黄油的“有利于心脏健康的”粘糊糊的人造黄油中也含有反式脂肪。Once hailed as a cheap, heart-friendly replacement for butter, lard,and coconut oil, trans fats have, in recent times,

32、 been denounced by one Harvard nutrition expert as the biggest food-processing disaster in U.S. history. Why? Research now reveals trans fats are twice as dangerous for your heart as saturated fat, and cause an estimated30,000 to 100,000 premature heart disease deaths each year.最近，一位哈佛大学营养专家披露，一度被视为

33、廉价而有利于心脏健康的、取代黄油、猪油和椰子油的替代品是“美国历史上最大的食品加工灾难。”为什么？如今，研究显示，反式脂肪对心脏的危害比饱和脂肪高两倍，每年造成约三万至十万人过早死于心脏病。Trans fats are worse for your heart than saturated fats because they boost your levels of bad LDL cholesterol and decrease good HDL cholesterol. Thats double trouble for your arteries. And unlike saturated

34、 fats, trans fats also raise your levels of artery-clogging lipoprotein and triglycerides.反式脂肪比饱和脂肪对心脏更有害，是因为他们提高了你的“坏”（低密度脂蛋白）胆固醇浓度，减少了“好”（高密度脂蛋白）胆固醇浓度。对你的动脉来说，这是双重麻烦。与饱和脂肪不同的是，反式脂肪还会提高堵塞动脉的脂蛋白和甘油三酸酯的浓度。Trans fats will be listed on the Nutrition Facts panel on food beginning in 2006. Until then, ch

35、eck the ingredient list for any of these words: partially hydrogenated, fractionated, or hydrogenated (fully hydrogenated fats are not a heart threat, but some trans fats are mislabeled as hydrogenated). The higher up the phrase partially hydrogenated oil is on the list of ingredients, the more tran

36、s fat the product contains.从2006年开始，食品的“营养成分”说明中要列出反式脂肪。直到那时，人们才开始查看配料表中的这些字句：“部分氢化”、“分馏”或“氢化”（完全氢化的脂肪对心脏没有威胁，但是某些反式脂肪被错误的贴上了“氢化”的标签）“部分氢化油”这个短语在配料表上越高，产品中反式脂肪的含量越大。Replacing trans fats with good fats could cut your heart attack risk by a whopping 53 percent.用好脂肪替换反式脂肪能够减少高达53%的心脏病发作风险。REFINED GRAIN

37、S细粮Choosing refined grains such as white bread, rolls, sugary low-fiber cereal, white rice, or white pasta over whole grains can boost your heart attack risk by up to 30 percent. Youve got to be a savvy shopper. Dont be fooled by deceptive label claims such as made with wheat flour or seven grain. O

38、r by white-flour breads topped with a sprinkling of oats, or colored brown with molasses. Often, theyre just the same old refined stuff that raises risk for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attacks, insulin resistance, diabetes, and belly fat.如果选择细粮，如白面包、面包卷、含糖低纤维谷物、白米饭或白面条，而不选择选择全谷物，有可能

39、增加30%患心脏病的风险。你必须做个精明的购物者，千万不要被声称“由小麦粉制成”或“由七种谷物”制成的骗人标签迷惑，也不要被顶上点缀了一点燕麦或者糖浆染成棕色的面包迷惑。他们往往还是原来那种精制的食物，有可能增加患各种疾病的风险高胆固醇、高血压、心脏病、抗胰岛素性、糖尿病和腹部脂肪。At least seven major studies show that women and men who eat more whole grains (including dark bread, whole-grain breakfast cereals, popcorn,cooked oatmeal, b

40、rown rice, bran, and other grains like bulgur orkasha) have 20 to 30 percent less heart disease. In contrast, those who opt for refined grains have more heart attacks, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure.至少七项重要研究显示，吃较多全谷物（包括黑面包、全谷物早餐食品、爆米花、煮熟的燕麦粥、糙米、麦麸及其他碎小麦或荞麦之类的谷物）的人们患心脏病的风险低20%至30%。比较而言，那

41、些选择细粮的人们更易患心脏病、抗胰岛素性和高血压。Read the ingredient list on packaged grain products. If the product is one of those that are best for you, the first ingredients should be whole wheat or another whole grain, such as oats. The fiber content should be at least 3 grams per serving.看看谷类产品包装上的配料表。如果它是最有利于你的那种产品之

42、一，其第一成分应该是全麦或另一种全谷物，如燕麦，而且每份食品的纤维含量至少应该是3克。SALT盐Three-quarters of the sodium in our diets isnt from the saltshaker.Its hidden in processed foods, such as canned vegetables and soups,condiments like soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce, fast-food burgers(and fries, of course), and cured or preserved me

43、ats like bacon, ham,and deli turkey.我们饮食中四分之三的钠并非来自盐瓶子。它隐藏在加工食品中，如罐装蔬菜和汤类，酱和辣酱油之类的调味品，快餐汉堡包（当然还有炸薯条），熏肉、火腿、熟食店火鸡之类的熏制或腌制的肉类。Some sodium occurs naturally in unprocessed edibles, including milk,beets, celery, even some drinking water. And thats a good thing:Sodium is necessary for life. It helps regul

44、ate blood pressure,maintains the bodys fluid balance, transmits nerve impulses, makes muscles - including your heart - contract, and keeps your senses of taste, smell, and touch working properly. You need a little every day to replace whats lost to sweat, tears, and other excretions.有些纳天然存在于未加工的可食用食

45、品中，其中包括牛奶、甜菜、芹菜，甚至某些饮用水。这是件好事情：钠是生命的必需品。它有助于调节血压，维持体液平衡，传递神经脉冲，使肌肉包括你的心脏收缩，保证你的味觉、嗅觉和感觉正常工作。你每天都需要摄取一点，来补充因流汗、流泪或其他排泄而损失的钠。But what happens when you eat more salt than your body needs? Your body retains fluid simply to dilute the extra sodium in your bloodstream. This raises blood volume, forcing yo

46、ur heart to work harder; at the same time, it makes veins and arteries constrict. The combination raises blood pressure.Your limit should be 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, about the amount in three-fourths of a teaspoon of salt. (Table salt, by the way,is 40 percent sodium, 60 percent chloride.

47、) Older people should eat even less, to counteract the natural rise in blood pressure that comes with age. People over 50 should strive for 1,300 mg; those over 70should aim for 1,200 mg.当你吃的盐超过身体所需时会出现什么情况？身体保留体液只是为了稀释血液中多余的钠。它增加了血容量、迫使你的心脏负担更重；同时，它使静脉和动脉收缩。而这一切会使血压升高。你的极限是每天1500毫克钠，约四分之三茶匙盐。（顺便说一下

48、，食盐含40%钠，60%氯化物。）为了抵消随着年龄增长而自然升高的血压，老年人应该吃最少的钠。50岁以上的人应该努力限制在1300毫克，而那些70岁以上的人应该把目标定在1200毫克。Only the Nutrition Facts panel on a food package will give you the real sodium count. Dont believe claims on the package front such assodium-free (foods can still have 5 mg per serving); reduced sodium(it onl

49、y means 25 percent less than usual); or light in sodium (half the amount youd normally find).食品包装上只有“营养成分”牌会为你提供真正的那数字。别相信包装前面的话，比如“无钠”（每份食物可能仍然含有5毫克钠）；“减少了钠”（那只表示比平常少25%）；或“淡钠”（你一般会发现只减少了一半）。Not So Sweet After AllHIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP高果糖玉米糖浆Compared to traditional sweeteners, high-fructose corn

50、syrup costs less to make, is sweeter to the taste, and mixes more easily with other ingredients. Today, we consume nearly 63 pounds of it per person per year in drinks and sweets, as well as in other products. High-fructose corn syrup is in many frozen foods. It gives bread an inviting, brown color

51、and soft texture, so its also in whole-wheat bread, hamburger buns, and English muffins. It is in beer, bacon, spaghetti sauce, soft drinks, and even ketchup.与传统的甜味剂相比，高果糖玉米糖浆制造成本更低，口感更甜，更易与其它配料混合。今天，在饮料喝糖果以及其它产品中，我们每人每年消费63磅玉米糖浆。许多冷冻食品中含有高果糖玉米糖浆。它使面包具有诱人的棕色和口感，因此，全麦面包、汉堡面包和英式松饼中也有糖浆。啤酒、熏肉、意大利面条酱、软饮

52、料、甚至番茄酱中都有玉米糖浆。Research is beginning to suggest that this liquid sweetener may upset the human metabolism, raising the risk for heart disease and diabetes.Researchers say that high-fructose corn syrups chemical structure encourages overeating. It also seems to force the liver to pump more heart-thre

53、atening triglycerides into the bloodstream. In addition,fructose may zap your bodys reserves of chromium, a mineral important for healthy levels of cholesterol, insulin, and blood sugar.研究正开始表明，这种液体甜味剂也许会扰乱人类的新陈代谢，增加患心脏病和糖尿病的风险。研究人员表示，高果糖玉米糖浆的化学结构刺激过量饮食。它似乎还强迫肾脏往血液中输送更多危害心脏的甘油三酸酯。此外，果糖可能会消除体内储存的铬一种对

54、胆固醇、胰岛素和糖浆的健康水平来说很重要的矿物质。To spot fructose on a food label, look for the words corn sweetener,corn syrup, or corn syrup solids as well as high-fructose corn syrup.要想在食品标签上辨出果糖，就要找找这些字“玉米甜味剂”，或“玉米糖浆颗粒”以及“高果糖玉米糖浆”。Unit4 The fraudulent antIt seems to me that in the matter of intellect the ant must be a

55、strangely overrated bird. During the many summers, now, I have watched him, when I ought to have been in better business, and I have not yet come across a living ant that seemed to have any more sense than a dead one. I refer to the ordinary ant, of course; I have no experience of those wonderful Sw

56、iss and African ones which vote, keep drilled armies, hold slaves, and dispute about religion. Those particular ants may be all that the naturalist paints them, but I am persuaded that the average ant is a sham. I admit his industry, of course; he is the hardest working creature in the world,-when a

57、nybody is looking,-but his leatherheadedness is the point I make against him.讲到智力，在我看来，蚂蚁这家伙的确莫名所以地受到了人们的过誉。比如说，许多夏天，本来该做一些更有意义的事情的，我却去观察它；然而，我好像始终没有发现一个活蚂蚁比一个死了的更具有些微的理性。当然，我指的是普通的蚂蚁；我没接触那些神奇的瑞士蚂蚁和非洲蚂蚁，它们会进行表决，拥有久经训练的军队，使用奴隶，讨论宗教问题等。那些特殊的蚂蚁也许完全像博物学家所描绘的一样，然而，我有理由相信，一般的蚂蚁都属欺世盗名之徒。当然，我承认它是辛劳的；它是世界上工作

58、最卖力的生物那也只是在有人观看它们的时候如此然而，它那份愚蠢劲儿却是我瞧不入眼的。它出来掠取粮食，它捕获到了食品，可是，此后它又做些什么呢？回到穴里去吗？不上哪儿去都行，就是不回到穴里去。它不知道它的穴在哪里。它的穴也许只离开它三尺远但那不管事，反正它就是找不到它。 He goes out foraging, he makes a capture, and then what does he do? Go home? No,-he goes anywhere but home. He doesnt know where home is. His home may be only three feet away,-no matter, he cant find it. He makes his capture, as I have said; it is generally something which can be of no sort of use to himself or anybody else; it is usually seven times bigger than it ought to
