unit 1我认为，选修第二专业并不适合每一位本科生。我大学本科主修英语专业，大一时就开始辅修经济学了。无疑，我是班里最用功的学生。我竭尽全力想同时达到两个不同专业的要求，但还是有不及格的时候。因为经济学需要良好的数学基础，我不得不花大量时间钻研数学，因而忽略了英语学习。(if you ask me; by all odds; try as ... might; given that)If you ask me, taking a second major isn't good forevery undergraduate.

unit2张磊是在毕业工作后才开始意识到读书的乐趣的。反思自已的大学教育时，他感慨不已：他的一些同学都沉浸于从图书馆或书店找到的各种有趣的书籍，而他却只读了一些教科书，其中连一本真正值得一读、让他爱不释手的书都没有。他可以说是被剥夺了通过书了解作家奇妙世界的特权。It was not until afterhe had graduated from university and startedto work that Zhang Lei became aware of the pleasure of readingReflectingon his undergraduate studies,he lamented that he,unlikesome of his classmates who had immersed themselves in variousinteresting books they were able to lay hands on fromthe library oibookshops,hadonlyread textbooks.none of which was reallyworthwhile,or could be readin one sitting.He was deprived of theprivilege of gaining access to the writers'fantastic worlds through thewindowstheirbookshaveopened,sotospeak

unit 4谈及目前经济萧条所带来的影响，学生活动的减少就是一个很好的例证。为了活跃校园生活，大学愿意划拨一部分资金来资助学生社团活动，但由于今年学校的预算大幅减少，对社团的资助也相应缩减了不少。显然，学生社团要恢复以前的活力就必须想办法克服自身的经济困难。有人主张招募更多会员，因为会员费的增加可以帮助他们度过难关。(whenitcomesto;carveout;paredown削减）
