Paraphrase
Unit1
1.My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and hope no one would notice I was a freshman.
I planned to be observant and silent so that nobody would notice that I was a freshman.
2.Popularity was not so important: running with the crowd was no longer a law of survival.
It didn’t matter whether you were widely liked or not: you did not have to follow other people so as to be accepted by everybody else.
3.This was my big chance to do my own thing, be my own woman----if I could get past my preoccupation
with doing everything perfectly.
College offered a great chance for me to do my own thing and have my own style so long as I could give up the attempt to be perfect in everything.

1.He didn’t realize how hard his maxim hit. It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical
problem of priorities.

2.But in the light of time’s perspective their deceptive prominence fades; with a sense of loss we recall the
important tasks pushed aside.
But as time passes, the urgent things gradually lose their seemingly importance, and at the same time we suffer from a sense of loss as we recall the important tasks that are left undone.
Unit3
1.Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered
with loving care throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating.    Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: It is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, it is enjoyed with excessive amount of time.
2.It is this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom age-bound habits in the West, combined
with the inherent sensual concept of Chinese food, always quick to satisfy the taste buds, that is at the root of the sudden and phenomenal spread of Chinese food throughout the length and breadth of the Western World.
The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: One is the increased desire for sensual pleasures and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.

certain cynicism and loss of trust.
