Unit 1 The world has changed a lot since the 1960s, and so have universities. I really enjoyed my years at university, and so did Jackie. Choosing the right course is always a major problem for new students, and so is organizing one’s time on campus. I’m thinking of going to the lecture on post-colonial literature, and so is Li Ming. I think the facilities in our college have improved over the last few years, and so has the teaching. We can access the Internet in our student hostel, and so can everyone else on campus. I’m not very interested in politics, nor are my friends. I won’t be doing much tonight, nor will my roommate. 3 Starting out at college means meeting lots of interesting people. Going to bed too late means not being able to concentrate the next day. Doing a course in Lit Theory means spending a lot of time on difficult subjects.

Going to college today means spending a lot of time thinking about what you will do afterwards. 4 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。 现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让50％的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。 我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解我这一代人的特征，或了解美国大学在如何变化。这门课是让你在课堂上扮酷的——带着一丝熬夜太多的困劲儿，穿着一件T 恤衫，上面印着“去过那儿，干过那事儿，对，这就是那件T 恤衫”，或诸如此类带有揶揄意味的俏皮话。 我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪（1914－1989），生于其后期。这个世纪充满了战争和革命，它改变了人类文明，推翻了强权政府，给我们留下了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得到的机会与特权比从前任何一代人都要多。 5 Instead of resolving contradictions, the series of measures taken by the government gave rise to more violent clashes. The Opposition formed an alliance with the trade unions and launched a general strike, which ultimately brought about the downfall of the government. Nowadays, the gap between the university and the real world is shrinking and students are becoming more and more practical. Gone are the days when the university was an ivory tower
