人教版（2019）高中英语选择性必修第一册 Unit 1 People of Achievement Section 4夯基提能作业

When 45-year-old Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic (胰腺)cancer, he chose to focus on living rather than dying. As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a "last lecture". This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.

The only difference in Pausch's case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams" on Sept. 18, 2007.

Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn't. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don't always succeed. He shared the values learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others hard work, honesty, laughter and gratitude.

Pausch's last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on "The Oprah Winfrey Show". He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book's representation of Pausch's lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.

Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book. He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.

Everyone back home told me that one of the nicest things about college is the people you meet. They all assured me that I would1friendships that could last a lifetime. I would always smile and agree. Frankly, before I 2college, I really didn't care.

I lived in the 3 where six guys lived in two small connecting rooms. All my roommates seemed to be good guys, but I didn't really try to get to know them.

I have always been rather quiet and never been able to make friends 4. I would always forget names after I met people. When we 5 again and they called out my name, I would reply with a(n) 6 wave and a weak hello. This was how things went for the first month or so. After a while, things started to 7. A couple of my roommates would try and keep me talking. Soon, these two roommates and I started becoming fairly 8. We began going to the cafeteria together, 9 together, and meeting in the library to study.

One night my roommates invited me to listen to a fellow roommate's practice with one of our college choirs. They drove me across campus where my roommate was to 10.

It so happened that this was my birthday, but I had kept quiet about it. So you can imagine my 11 when we entered the recital hall and the 120-member choir began to sing "Happy Birthday" to me. 12 at the dorm, my friends held a small party for me, complete with a card and cake.

I was completely shocked, and I felt 13 to be able to call them friends. It was then that I realized that college means 14 the piece of paper you receive at the end—It's a(n) 15 in both life and people.
