真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 1 Module 5 A Trip Along the Three Gorges Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading The Three Gorges region is a scenic area along the Yangtze River in China with a total length of about 200 km. The Three Gorges take up120 km within this region. Although it is primarily famous for its scenery, the Three Gorges region is historically and culturally an important region in China. The Three Gorges region is located along the Yangtze River between the cities of Fengjie and Yichang in Chongqing Municipality and Hubei Province. Currently the Three Gorges region is most famous for the Three Gorges Dam. The Three Gorges Dam is located ata place called Sandouping (三斗坪) in the middle ofthe Xiling Gorge. In addition to the impacts (影响) of the dam on the ecology and people (i.e. the mass relocation of towns and villages) of the region, the dam also changes the scenery of the Three Gorges. Because the water level is higher, the gorges are narrower and the mountains appear lower. Supporters of the dam point out that because the mountains reach several thousand feet above the river, the gorges still offer 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 2 fascinating views of the surrounding cliffs, andit should be noted thatmost riverboat companies that operate in the Three Gorges intend tocontinue to offer tours of the region. The increase in width of the Three Gorges also allows larger ships through the gorges andit is predicted that river traffic of all kinds will increase. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 3 Section_Ⅰ Introduction_&_Reading_—_Prereading [原文呈现] A Trip Along the Three Gorges In August 1996，Peter Hessler, a young American teacher of English①， arrived in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River. He and a colleague② were to③spend two years there teaching English④ at a teacher training college. They were the only foreigners in the town.The first semester finished at the end of January and they had four weeks off⑤ for the Spring Festival. They could go anywhere they wished⑥. They decided to⑦ take a boat⑧downstream⑨. We decided to buy tickets for⑩ the Jiangyou boat. Our colleagues said, “You shouldn't go on those ships.They are very crowded. They are mainly for⑪goods⑫ and people trading⑬ along the river⑭. They don't stop at thetemples⑮ and there won't be any other foreigners.”That sounded⑯ fine to me. We just had to show our passports and they let us get on the boat.

It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have. My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs. The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽 居病)and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope. From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point. Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive lifechanging journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者在冰岛上旅行时因暴雪而长时间被 困在大山中的一个小木屋里的经历，以及摆脱困境后作者的人生观和世界观及处理问题方法 的改变。 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 12 4．The writer went to Iceland to ________.
