Background information about the text:

Undergraduate Research   In many universities, students are encouraged to participate in research to develop their own original research designs under the guidance of instructors. Students are usually paid for their research. If they register for a course and do a project, they can earn academic credits. In some departments a research project might constitute an honors thesis.

Ways to graduate with honors  In U. S. education, there are four main ways students may graduate with honors. all A's ------ may graduate with highest honors' mostly A's ------may graduate with high honors' mostly A's& B's ------ may graduate with honors' A student may graduate with honors in the major field. This requires high grades in the major, fairly good grades overall, and an extra research project in the major.

Honors thesis   An honors student who does an extra research project in the major and writes a research paper can graduate with honors. This extra research project paper is usually called an honors thesis, which resembles a short master's thesis.

Reading A: Para 1-2

Para 1: Sophia Stella, a sophomore at Columbia’s School of Engineering, is one of many undergraduates who become involved, one way or another, in research performed at the university. Some do it for academic credit, some for money, some just for experience. Students and professors agree that an undergraduate research project can be uniquely beneficial to both parties.

one way or another: somehow; however you can (perhaps despite some difficulty)

Examples: Almost every country becomes involved, one way or another, when there's a World War.一旦战争爆发,几乎每个国家或多或少都会被卷进去

If you care about your work you'll always get there on time, one way or another. 如果重视你的工作,你就总会想方设法按时赶到。

Para 2: Ideally, undergraduate research is an opportunity for the kind of intensive study that can expand the mind in ways traditional courses can’t. Economics Professor Ralph Edison says: “To really understand a discipline you have to get the feeling that knowledge isn’t just out there and you passively have to absorb it, but rather that it’s constantly being created and we’re constantly rethinking things...

15Unit 7 Learning Strategies

When students see a discipline as evolving rather than fixed, they usually get a lot more excited about learning because they see that it’s an ongoing process.” He points out that research can be exciting because “a research project really gives students an opportunity to answer real-life questions that we don’t know the answers to.”

3. Ideally, undergraduate research is an opportunity for the kind of intensive study that can expand the mind in ways traditional courses can't. Undergraduate research allows students to think more deeply for themselves than traditional courses do.的确,大学生从事研究是一种深入学习的机会,能拓展思维,而这是传统教育做不到的。

expand the mind: stimulate curiosity and learning

Examples: Reading Einstein's biography expanded my mind as I began to understand the Theory of Relativity.读爱因斯坦传拓展了我的思维,使我逐渐理解了相对论。You can expand your mind by traveling and meeting interesting people.旅游和结交有趣的人都能拓展你的思维。

5. When students see a discipline as evolving rather than fixed, they usually get a lot more excited about learning (para.2): Students enjoy the process of seeing new knowledge being created.               当学生认识到一门学科是发的而非静止的,他们就会对学习产生更大的兴趣,

Reading A: Para 3-4

Para 3: Research also spurs independent thinking and intellectual confidence in students. Amelia, a graduate student in computer science, says, "You had to go out and learn on your own. You weren't going to be spoon-fed." Her fond memories of work as an undergraduate researcher played an important role in her decision to leave her Wall Street programming job and return to Columbia as a graduate student.

25Unit 7 Learning Strategies

Para 4: Arthur Hannah, a political science graduate of Columbia College says undergraduate research "felt like a whole new mode of learning." Instead of looking for the knowledge we do have, he says, research forces students to look for knowledge we don't have. It's a process of looking for holes and trying to plug them, which is completely different from the classroom experience of learning what others already know. He also describes how creating a piece of original research instilled a "pride of authorship" in his work, something he hadn't found in his regular classes.

26Unit 7 Learning Strategies

6 He also describes how creating a piece of original research instilled a “pride of authorship” in his work Students are proud when they see their own work becoming part of the new knowledge created by the research.     

他还认为,一项有创意的独特研究会让你的工作充满 "独家创造的自豪 "

27Unit 7 Learning Strategies

original research: research done on one's own, perhaps on a new topic or in search of new facts or theories on an old topic

Examples: Anyone who earns a doctorate is expected to do original research.攻读博士的人都得做有创新的研究。 Many scientists competed to do original research that might prove or disprove Einstein's new theory.许多科学家争着做创新研究来证明或反驳爱因斯坦的新理论。

pride of authorship: satisfaction at seeing one's own work in print

Examples: It was his first publication, so his pride of authors

hip was understandable even though the article was very short.这是他第一次发表文章,虽说文章不长,但是他那份独创自豪感我们是可以理解的。I have no pride of authorship in this draft, so you may change it however you like.这份草稿我不满意,你随便改吧。

Reading A: Para 5-8

Para 5: Most undergraduates doing research are working for credit. They register for a semester-long course and do a project for a professor who gives them a grade for their efforts. In some departments a research project might constitute an honors thesis.

30Unit 7 Learning Strategies

7. In some departments a research project might constitute an honors thesis A research project may meet a requirement in a special program for honors students, who must write an extra research paper to graduate with honors.     

有些系的学生通过做研究项目,可能据此写出一篇(教学计划规定之外的)论文,从而在毕业时获得(这个学科的单科优秀)荣誉。

31Unit 7 Learning Strategies

honors thesis: An honors student who does an extra

research project in the major and writes a research paper can graduate with honors. This extra research project paper is usually called an honor thesis, which resembles a short master's thesis.

Examples: She had good grades but wanted to get into grad

uate school, so she did an honors thesis to impress the graduate admissions committee. 她成绩优异,但为了能进研究生院学习,她写了一篇额外的荣誉论文以引起招生委员会的重视。In Australia it‘s expected that most future postgraduates will do an honors thesis while they are still undergraduates.     

在澳大利亚,大多数未来的研究生会被要求读本科时就写一篇荣誉论文。

Para 6: Some students do research for pay. Taken simply as a form of employment, it's one of the most desirable jobs available to undergraduates. Stella says, "I need some kind of income, and I'd rather work here than in the cafeteria"; paid research work gives her an opportunity to transform a work-study job into an engaging aspect of her education. The money for her wages is available because of a program started this year providing $100 000 to fund undergraduate research. This funding is intended to support about 50 undergraduates in work-study research positions.

work-study job: part-time job on campus

Examples: My work-study job was to deliver inter-office mail on the campus, which allowed me to meet many interesting people while earning money to pay for college.我在学校兼职做内部收发员,这样我既可以赚钱付学费,又可以结交许多有趣的人。 If you can't get a work-study job, you should look for a job off-campus.如果校内无法找份工作勤工俭学,你就到校外去找。

Para 5: My success tells me that the key to successful creative emulation is to emulate the successful people, the doers of the world. The best way to emulate someone in business is to follow him or her around and make observations of what they do. If you do this long enough, with the right person, and apply what you observe you should succeed. The second best way to emulate is to listen or read about what your model businessperson or mentor does and how he does it. The more you know about how your mentor succeeds the more clues you will have to help you succeed.
