泛读(第一册)(超越概念——高等院校英语专业系列教材) 节选

《超越概念:泛读(第1册)》采用了中美教授、学者合作编写的形式。由中外学者合编教材国内已有先例，但是本套教材无论从编撰者的数量到编写人员的素质，从双方合作的广度到相互交流的深度，从教材种类所涵盖的范围到其内容的真实性，都是前所未有的。编写初始由中方编者提出编写思路、选材要求，之后将要求交付美方编者，由美方编者在美国选材。在选材过程中，双方经过多次讨论，*后确定每一篇课文的内容与长度。然后由中方编者根据所选内容编写配套的练习，*后由美方审读并润色。这种分工方式*充分地利用了双方的优势：中方编者不但有在国外学习、工作、获取学位的经历，而且长期在国内高校从事英语教学，对国内学生的需求以及国内现有教材的情况了如指掌，可以准确地把握教材的内容和难易程度。而美方编者的优势在于对西方，特别是美国的英语教学和文化的认知与了解。他们出国前均为国内高校英语教师，并有在美国大学英语系不低于20年的教学经验。他们不但对国外的英语教学了如指掌，更重要的是对英语语言和文化有一种直觉的感知，而这种感知是从任何教科书中学不到的。

插图：Despite the current high demand for M.B.A. graduates, many international students still struggle to get a job offer——-or even an interview. At Kenan-Flagler, for instance, only about 40% of the recruiters will meet with foreign nationals. The chief reasons for such resistance: the limited number of U.S. work visas and language deficiencies.Business schools can't do much about visas, but they can try to overcome language barriers. North Carolina is sending audiotapes of its international students to recruiters and counting on their feedback to establish benchmarks for English proficiency for specific industries. For example, students might receive a rating of five out of nine on the English test and learn that they must raise it to seven to be hired by a technology company or to eight to satisfy a bank's requirements.Kenan-Flagler's career-services office finds that English fluency is especially important in investment banking, consulting and consumer-products marketing. But other industries expect fluency in English as well. We're a global company and we look to foreign students for their international business knowledge and cultural experiences, says Clive Pinto, human- resources manager for W.R. Grace, a chemical manufacturer. But our ability to capitalize on their knowledge depends on their English proficiency.In the HEELS classes at North Carolina, students are grouped by their native regions, such as Western Europe, East Asia, South Asia, Africa or Latin America, because they tend to share similar problems with accent and pronunciation. The program also addresses nonverbal communication and body language, which may vary from culture to culture. The classes attempt to change behavior that might be misinterpreted by U.S. managers, co-workers or clients. For example, a U.S. recruiter would expect direct eye contact and a firm handshake, says Mindy Storrie, interim director of Kenan-Flagler's career management center, but that isn't a universal norm in other countries' business dealings.
