What do you dream of becoming?2. What did you do when you had problem in realizing your dream?3. Culture notes:1. Rock musicRock music is a genre of popular music that developed during and after the 1960s, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by rhythm and blues and country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporated infl uences from jazz, classical and other musical sources.Musically, rock has centered around the electric guitar, usually as part of a rock group with bassguitar and drums. Typically, rock is song-based music with a 4/4 beat utilizing a verse-chorus form, but the genre has become extremely diverse and common musical characteristics are diffi cult to defi ne. Like pop music, lyrics often stress romantic love but also address a wide variety of other themes that are frequently social or political in emphasis. The dominance of rock by white, male musicians has been seen as one of the key factors shaping the themes explored in rock music. Rock places a higher degree of emphasis on musicianship, live performance, and an ideology of authenticity than pop music.2. Neil PeartNeil Ellwood Peart (born September 12, 1952), OC, is a Canadian musician and author. He is thedrummer and lyricist for the rock band Rush.Peart grew up in Port Dalhousie, Ontario (now part of St.Catharines). During adolescence, he floated from regional band to regional band in pursuit of a career as a full-time drummer. After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, Peart returned home, where he joined a local Toronto band, Rush, in the summer of 1974. Peart has received numerousawards for his musical performances, and is known for his technical proficiency and stamina.In addition to being a musician, Peart is also a prolific writer, having published several memoirs about his travels. Peart is also Rush's primary lyricist. In writing lyrics for Rush, Peart addresses universal themes and diverse subject matter including science fiction, fantasy, and philosophy, as well as secular, humanitarian and libertarian themes. All four of his books are travel-based non-fiction, though they diverge into his life and these subjects as well.Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 mins)1. Read the text as quickly as possible and try to find the answer to the following questions:1. How would you interpret this sentence “Our dream is the song of our soul”?Answer:There is a sound that your soul sings inside you all the time. The sound of your soul is a frequency that connects you to your dream. Most of us forgot how to listen to the sound of our soul. The song of your soul is a beautiful song that is created through the energy of love. The song is around you and in you — it is a part of you.2. How would you comp are Neil Peart and Richard M. DeVos’s philosophy of the flame? What else can you provid e in describing the role of a dream in one’s life ?Answer:Neil Peart describes the need of a flame to ignite a dream. Richard M. DeVos expresses how just nursing a flickering flame never allows it to actually burst into flame. No real fire no real dream.A flame signifies heat and without heat there is no warmth.3. But the trouble is most of us have the on / off switch ofour dream set to OFF.” Do you agree or disagree with the author?Answer:I agree that it is important to be proactive and making a plan helps to jump start a dream. A positive connection to a dream will help succeed in fulfi lling that dream.4. According to the author, what is the law of life? What is your opinion about this law?Answer:As the proverb says, where there is a will, there is a way. If you are goal-driven, any obstacles can be surmounted in making your dreams come true.5. “Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.” What is your understanding of this state ment?Answer:I don’t have to save the world but I can help those close to me, such as my classmates or even family members. I might not be the leader of our country but I could be a leader in my peer group at school. I can’t change everyone’s attitude about being environmentally friendly but I can start by being an example. Unrealistic grand dreams are more harmful than helpful. When we determine our dreams and set our goals, we must think carefully about our real desires and the real possibilities.2. Skim the passage and try to find the main idea:Main idea:We all have dreams. Our dream, or aspiration, or vision, is the song of our soul. It is our dream that fills our life with meaning and purpose. Many a successful person compared a dream to the flame of hope toward victory. We all have problems in realizing our dreams. But once we believe we can do it, we will find solutions to the problems we stumbled on. If you believe in your dream, the next step is to make a commitment. With your commitment, great power will be released and seemingly insurmountable hurdles will be reduced to insignificant obstacles. Our dreams don’t have to be grand tobe great. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet. As we dream, so shall we become. Our vision is the promise of what we shall be in the future./doc/6b16164646.html,nguage Points1.

Culture Notes:1. Michelangelo Buonarroti:Michelangelo (di Lodovico) Buonarroti (Simoni) (1475—1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, had an unmatched influence on the development of Western art. He is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci. Two of his best-known sculptures are Pietàand David. Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in fresco, the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. He was the first artist to have twobiographies written about him in his lifetime.2 .Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.:Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841—1935) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1902 to 1932. He convinced people that the law should develop along with the society it serves. Holmes exercised a deep influence on the law through his support of the doctrine of “judicial restraint” which urged judges to avoid letting their personal opinions affect their decisions. He was called “The Great Dissenter” because he was often at odds with his fellow justices and was capable of eloquently expressing his dissents.Step 2 While-reading Tasks (75 Mins)1.Read the text as quickly as possible and try to find the answers to the followingquestions:1. Do you agr ee with the author’s statement that “So many people just exist; they have no goals, desires or aspirations”?Answer: Yes, I do. We can see many people give up their hopes / dreams when they are faced with difficulties. They feel despaired in harsh realities and just exist as a living thing. No, I don’t. Every person has their goals in life, although some of them have their dreams hidden deep at the bottom of their hearts when faced with problems. Different people have different dreams for life. They give up some kind of goals and take up new goals — they change their goals.2. How do you understand “… the great danger is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it”?Answer: With this famous saying, the author means that if we set our goals too low we may achieve them effortlessly, and do not need to try hard enough; we achieve the low goals and do not make the greatest possibility come true. That is the greatest danger that keeps us from living to the fullest.3. “It is a shame we often cease living, learning and achieving ...” What do you thinkthe author means by “living”?Answer: “live” literally means “stay alive”. In this sentence, “living” particularly means “spending our life to make our dreams come true”. When people give up their dreams they give up living their life to pursue a dream, and their life is reduced to staying alive.4. Did you once give up on your dream? Why?Answer: Open.5. “Dreams are not for the young.” How d o you understand that?Answer: People, young or old, should have their dreams, and should not give up hopes. Dreams are not tools to educate / encourage young people. They are the destinations for everybody’s life journeys2. Language points:1. They may have been ambitious at one time in their life but ran into disappointments, detours and failures.run into:1) to meet someone by chanceExamples:Graham ran into someone he knew at school the other day.We have run into difficulties.2) to accidentally drive (a vehicle) into sthExamples:I had to stop suddenly, and the car behind ran into me.He ran his motorcycle into a tree.2. After a while they chose not to reach for the stars and settled for the mundane.settle:1) to get into a comfortable position; to become familiar with and feel comfortable in somewhereExamples:After dinner we settled in front of the television for the evening.He settled himself down with a newspaper, and waited for the train to arrive.2) to cause to become calm and quietExamples:He’s one of those very active children who finds it difficult to settle.The weather is expected to settle toward the end of the week.3) to reach a decision or an agreement or to end a disagreement Examples:We might go to London for the weekend, but it’s not settled yet.I’d like to get this matter settled once and for all.settle for: to accept sth, although it might not be exactly what you want Examples:He never settles for the second best.They were hoping to sell their car for $2 000, but settled for $1 500.4) to pay (esp. money owed or claimed)Examples:Please settle your bill without further delay.Would you like to settle up now, sir?3. We give in to mediocre and find ourselves settling for less than we are capable of.capable: able; (of people) skillful and effective, or (of people or things) having enough ability or power to do sthExamples:I’m going away next week, so I’ll be leaving everything in your capable hands.I think your plan is capable of being improved.4. We dare to dream as children and then meet up with real life as adults and relinquish our visions as unreal possibilities.meet (up with): to come together (unintentionally); to experience sth which is usually unpleasantExamples:She had met (up with) the children in the street.They suggested we meet (up) at Margaret’s.5. It is a shame we often cease living, learning and achieving and meeta premature demise.cease: (slightly formal) to stop (something)Examples:The company has decided to cease all UK operations after this year.Workplace nurseries will cease to be liable for tax.6. We give up on ourselves and our dreams and possibilities.give up: to stop doing or having (sth)Examples:We are going to give up our sports club membership after this year.He’s given up d riving since his illness.7. Perhaps you have run into people who lacked faith in you ...faith:1) great trust or confidence in sth or sbExamples:She says she has no faith in modern medicine.It will be hard to restore faith in the government unless ministers start making promises they can keep.2) a religion, a strong belief in a religionExamples:They were persecuted for their faith.We live in a multi-faith society.8. Some desires may include a few other people, but benefit many. benefit:v. & n.(to receive or give) a helpful or good effect, or sth intended to helpExamples:The discovery of oil brought many benefits to the town.For the benefit of those who didn’t listen the first time, I will repeat the question.I fee that I have benefited greatly from her wisdom.How can we benefit those who most need our help?9. Many of our achievements are the legacy we leave behind when we depart this earth.leave behind: not to take sth with you when you go, or to allow or cause sth to stayExamples:I’ll leave my winter coat behind, I won’t need it.Hurry up, or you’ll get left behind.10. Before they know it, time runs out.run out: to finish or be finished; to be used completelyExamples:My patience is beginning to run out.My passport runs out next month — I must get it renewed.11.

Teaching plans for Experiencing English Integrated Book OneUnit 1Passage A So Much to LearnI. Contents⏹Think About It⏹Related Information⏹Notes to the Text⏹Summary of the Text⏹Words and Expressions⏹Understanding the TextII. Think About It1. What do you expect to learn at college?The answer may vary. The most important thing a student can learn is to learn how to learn.2. What do the students in the passage think they have learned aft er four years’ study at college?The answer may vary. They think they have learned everything and are able to conquer the world.III. SummaryWhen students finish college, they have master quite a lot of information, but not as much as they think they have. Furthermore, they have little experience in using the information. When they move forward to their careers, they will quickly discover how much they still have to learn to learn. College can only set the stage for their future learning. There is no way it can give them all the information they need, because there is too much of it and it is expanding too rapidly. A good teacher like the one in the story should make this clear to the students in a memorable way that they can take with them after graduation. This is why graduation is sometimes called “commencement”.IV. Culture NotesThe two main types of exam questions are multiple choice and essay, but other types are blank-filling and matching, and different types, e.g. typical exam might consist of 50 multiple choice for one point each and two essay questions for 25 points each.V. Language Points1.

Besides being the drummer and chief lyricist for the rock ban d ―Rush‖1, Neil Peart is also an author and philosopher.尼尔·皮尔特既是Rush摇滚乐队的鼓手和主要词作者,也是一位作家和哲人。
Look at how beautifully he expresses the relationship between life and a dream:请看他是何等优美地表述了生活和梦想之间的关系:―Life is just a candle and a dream must give it flame.‖―生命就像一支蜡烛,而由梦想将其点燃。
‖Richard M. DeVos, the founder of Amway Corp., also writes about the flame of hope:安利公司的创始人理查德·M·德沃斯也谈及希望之火:―No life is more tragic than that of the individual who nurses a dream, an ambition, always wishing and hoping, but never giving it a chance to happen.―一个人心怀梦想和大志,时时刻刻地在渴望和希望,却没有尝试将这一切付诸现实,还有比这种人的生命更富悲剧性的吗?He nurses the flickering dream, but never lets it break out into flame.‖他的梦想只能发出摇曳的微弱光亮,却永远不能迸发出火焰。
‖Most of us have a dream, or heart’s desire. 我们大多数人都有自己的梦想、抱负或者说是心之欲望。
But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. 但问题在于我们大多数人都将梦想的开关置于―关闭‖位置。
Whenever we say, ―I can’t,‖ we set the switch to OFF. 不管什么时候,只要我们说―我不能,‖我们就切断了开关。
Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. 无论何时,只要我们相信我们能做,我们就开启了按钮。
Simple, isn’t it? 就是这么简单,不是吗?Just because I believe I can do something doesn’t mean there won’t be any problems. 仅仅因为相信自己有能力做某事,并不意味就不会有任何问题。
But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. 但是一旦我相信我能去做,我就会去为我遇到的每一个问题寻求破解的办法。
And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.生活的法则就是如此——惟有所求,方有所得,我欲寻求破解之法,则我必会成功。
Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.任何有价值的梦想都值得去奋斗实现。
Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment.一旦我认识到我可以去实施这一梦想,下一步就是承诺一定完成。
As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released.一旦做出承诺,就会迸发出巨大的力量。
What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance.原本看似不可逾越的屏障顷刻之间就会化为招人嬉笑的无足轻重的小小障碍而已。
Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.梦想不必宏大方显伟大。
We don’t have to become the world’s greatest pianist, an Olympic medal winner, or an internationally acclaimed superstar.我们不必要求成为世上最伟大的钢琴家、奥运奖牌得主,抑或是国际知名的超级巨星。
An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life.我的一个婶婶平生大部分时间在一家百货公司卖手套。
