Unit2粗糙的乌龟壳妻子们和她们的孩子在远处的房子里讲民间故事的时候，她们的低声细语，虽然时不时地为歌声所打断，还是传到了丈夫奥康瓦的耳中。
爱克蔚菲和她的女儿，爱金玛，正坐在地板的垫子上。
现在，轮到爱克蔚菲讲故事了。
突然，窃窃私语的声音停止了，屋里所有人的目光都转向了他们最喜欢和最擅长讲故事的人。
“很久很久以前，”她开始讲到，“所有的鸟儿都被邀请去天上参加一个宴会。
他们都非常高兴，开始为这难得的日子做准备。
他们把自己涂成深红色，用颜料在身上画出漂亮的图案。
”“陆龟见到了这些准备活动。
不久，他就发现了这所有的一切其他方面的缺点，陆龟是还是一个行走江湖、见识极广的人；他了解不同民族的风俗，因此，他们都分别起了一个新的名字。
鸟儿们都有了新的名字后，陆龟也起了一个；他被称作‘你们大家’。
”“最后，他们到达了目的地；天上的主人也为他们的光临倍感荣幸。
陆龟一身盛装地站着，并对他们的邀请表达了谢意。
他的言谈举止如此得体，众鸟儿都为把他带来了而感到由衷的高兴，并点头以示他所言不谬。
他们的主人也就顺理成章地把他当作众鸟之主，尤其是，他看起来是那样的与众不同。
”“在各种精挑细捡的果品呈上来又被吃掉之后，天上的招待就把最美味的饭菜放在了他们的客人面前，而这些都是陆龟曾经见过或者梦寐以求的。
刚从火上煮过的、热气腾腾的、布满了鱼和肉的汤也被原封不动地端了上来。
陆龟开始用力地去嗅。
随着摆上来的还有捣碎的山药和伴着棕榈油和鲜鱼肉的山药汤，成壶的棕榈酒。
一切准备就绪之后，其中的一位招待走上前去，并逐个品尝了一番。
接着他就邀请众鸟儿用餐。
但是，此时的陆龟却一跃而起，问道：‘这盛宴是为谁准备的？’”“于是，陆龟就转向众鸟儿，说道：‘你们都记得，我的名字是‘你们大家’。
而这里的风俗就是先招呼发言人，然后再招呼其他人等。
等我。

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination,create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45. What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.B. The ability to think creatively is invaluable.C. The ability to think creatively helps children develop.D. The ability to think creatively is a natural part of childhood.。
新标准大学英语3unit2_CulturalChildhoods原文+译文
Cultural Childhoods不同文化的童年1 When I look back on my own childhood in the 1970s and 1980s and compare it with children today, it reminds me of that famous sentence "The past is a foreign country: They do things differently there" (from L. P. Hartley's novel The Go-Between). Even in a relatively short period of time, I can see the enormous transformations that have taken place in children's lives and in the ways they arethought about and treated.每当我回顾20世纪七八十年代我的童年时光，并将它与现在孩子的童年相比较时，就会想起句名言：“往昔是异国他乡，那里有着不同的习俗”（可参见L.P.哈特利的小说《传信人》）。
甚至在相对短暂的一段时间内，我也能够察觉到儿童的生活以及人们对待儿童的方式上所经历的巨大变化。
2.Looking further back I can see vast differences between contemporary and historical childhoods. T oday, children have few responsibilities, their lives are characterized by play not work, school not paid labour, family rather than public life and consumption instead of production. Yet this is all relatively recent. A hundred years ago, a 12 year old working in a factory would have been perfectly acceptable. Now, it would cause social services' intervention and the prosecution of both parents and factory owner.回顾更久远的岁月，我可以看到现在和古代童年生活的巨大差别。

新标准综合教程3_课后答案unit2
Unit 2 Active reading 1 Language points 1 ... I can recall the changing colors of those days clear and definite as a pattern seen through a kaleidoscope. Para 1 A kaleidoscope is a toy that shows changing patterns. It is made of a tube with mirrors and colored pieces of glass inside. The glass pieces move as you turn the kaleidoscope. As a metaphor kaleidoscope means a view situation or experience that keeps changing and has many different aspects. 2 ?? and look over the lights of Boston that blazed and blinked far off across the darkening water. Para 2 To blaze means to burn strongly and brightly. The lights ... that blazed and blinked means the lights were bright and went on and off continuously like the blinking of eyes. 3 The sunset flaunted its pink flag above the airport and the sound of waves was lost in the perpetual droning of the planes. Para 2 To flaunt means to deliberately try to make people notice something eg your possessions beauty abilities etc because you want them to admire you. The sunset flaunted its pink flag means the pink color of the setting sun was like a flag which the sun was using to try to make everyone notice and admire it. To drone means to make a continuous low sound. Because Logan is an international airport the noise of the planes continued all the time. So it was perpetual. 4 I marveled at the moving beacons on the runway and watched until it grew completely dark the flashing red and green lights that rose and set in the sky like shooting stars. Para 2 A beacon is a bright light that shines in the dark and is used as a signal to warn people of danger or to show them the way to somewhere. Beacons are used in airports to show approaching and departing planes the position of the runways to help them land and take off safely. A shooting star is a meteor a large piece of rock in space that falls through the earth’s atmosphere and makes a bright line of light in the sky. When you see a shooting star it is said to be lucky and some people make a wish. 5 Out by the parking lot David and I found the perfect alcove for our Superman dramas. Para 5 A parking lot is the American equivalent of a car park British English. A lot in American English refers to a small area of land used for a particular purpose. 6 During recess David and I came into our own. Para 6 To come into one’s own means to have the opportunity to show how good or useful someone is. Here the two children are good at imaginative play with Superman games. Childhood memories Unit 2 45 7 We ignored the boys playing baseball on the gravel court and the girls giggling at dodge-ball in the dell. Para 6 Dodge-ball is a game played by children standing in a circle or on opposite sides of an area. A rubber ball is thrown by those outside who try to hit those in the circle. The children in the circle try to dodge the ball to avoid being hit. 8 Our Superman games made us outlaws ?? Para 6 An outlaw is a criminal especially one who moves from place to place to avoid being caught. There are many famous stories of outlaws in Western culture eg Robin Hood Billy the Kid Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Ned Kelly etc. Here the two children are outlaws because they play their imaginative games against the custom of other games like dodge-ball. 9 ?? the sallow mamma’s boy on our block who was left out of the boys’ games ... and skin his fat knees. Para 6 Mamma mama momma mummy are children’s names for mother mum. A mamma’s boy is one who depends too much on his mother and is not independent when he should be. To skin one’s knees means to hurt one’s knees by falling on a rough surface in a way that causes some skin to be removed. 10 At the time my Uncle Frank was living with us while waiting to be drafted ?? Para 8 The draft means conscription into the armed forces for military service. People who are drafted are made to join the army navy etc they are conscripts or draftees not volunteers. Reading and understanding 3 Answer the questions. 1 What were SylviaPlath’s most important memories She remembered winning a prize Paula Brown’s new suit and the view from her window. 2 Where did she live and what could she see from her bedroom window She lived on the bay side of town on Johnson Avenue and she could see the lights of Boston and Logan Airport from her bedroom window. 3 What did the view make her want to do It made her want to fly in her dreams. 4 Why did she have such vivid dreams Because she was rarely tired when she went to bed. 5 Who appeared in her dreams Superman appeared and taught her to fly. 6 Why did she enjoy the radio adventures of Superman Because she loved the sheer poetry of flight. 7 Where did her friend and she play Superman At the dingy back entrance to the school an alcove in a long passageway. Unit 2 Childhood memories 46 8 Why do you think they chose Sheldon to be the villain Because he was a mamma’s boy and was left out of the other boys’ games. 9 How did she feel about her Uncle Frank She admired him as she thought he bore an extraodinary resemblance to Superman incognito. 4 Choose the best summary of the passage. 3 Sylvia Plath wrote about her real and imaginary life as a child.

Para 4 A social construction refers to the process or resu lt of creating an idea or system of behaviour in social contexts ie it is created and developed between people and is not something natural or genetic. Childhood memories Unit 2 53 2 Social anthropologists have shown this in their studies of peoples ... Para 5 Social anthropologists are scholars and researchers who study human societies customs and beliefs from a social perspective which may be distinct from the focus of physical anthropologists or linguistic anthropologists. 3 Because they can’t be reasone d with and don’t understand parents treat them with a great deal of tolerance and leniency. Para 5 Tolerance is the attitude of someone who is willing to accept other people’s beliefs or way of life without criticizing them even if they disagree with them. The word leniency means giving a punishment or acting in a way that is not as severe or harsh as it could be.4 They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality of social competence ?? Para 6 Something is prized if it is considered to be very important or valuable. The examples in the passage emphasize how different cultural communities may give importance to quite different qualities which they expect from children so the children are brought up very differently.5 They are regularly toldoff for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at shouted at or beaten. Para 6 To tell someone off means to criticize someone angrily for doing something wrong. If you are told off for doing something in a serious or official way you are reprimanded. 6 Looking at it from a cross-cultural perspective shows the wide variety of childhoods that exist across the world ?? Para 11 A cross-cultural perspective is a view which considers different cultures separately or independently and then makes comparisons. An intercultural perspective would look at the relations and interactions between different cultures or communities taking inside views of each culture into account. A transcultural perspective would look at different cultures using knowledge skills and insights which are thought to apply to a wide range of cultural contexts and which would help people in intercultural contexts. Reading and understanding 3 Read the passage again and complete the table. Teaching tips ?? When Ss have completed the table on their own divide the class into seven groups each group being responsible for one row in the table. They have to summarize the characteristics of childhood of this ethnic group and also include an example. Then they report to the class. Each group should also add related information they learned from the passage and the language and culture notes. The presentation of each group could be given from that exact roles of parents from that exact cultural or ethnic group. If this is difficult T may give each group a copy of the example below and ask them to practise and present it to the class. ?? As a way to follow this up T can ask each group one by one to compare their result with that of another group without looking at their books. An alternative follow-up is for the T together with one or two Ss to take the roles of TV reporters who meet each group and ask them “on camera” to compare themselves with another group and talk about how they understand the other group from a cross-cultural perspective. Unit 2 Childhood memories 54 1 We are American colonial people. We lived in the 17th and 18th centuries on the east coast of America and our families settled here from Europe. In our time children were expected to be good a nd industrious. That was the main characteristic of childhood. For example when our girls were four they knitted stockings and mittens when they were six they spun wool. We called them “Mrs” to show the girls our appreciation. 2 We are Inuit people from th eArctic regions. Some of us are from Canada and Greenland Denmark others from Russia and Alaska of US. For us children need to get ihuma – you would call this the process of acquiring thought reason and understanding. That’s the main characteristic of chi ldhood. For example as parents we are tolerant and lenient with children until they are old enough to develop ihuma then we can teach them and discipline them. 3 We are from Tonga a kingdom of about 170 islands in the south-west Pacific Ocean. As parents we may regularly beat our children if they haven’t yet developed poto. You would think of poto as social competence. For us it’s the main quality that our children need to develop. So we treat them with discipline and physical punishment when they are mischievous or wilful. 4 We are the Beng people. We live in different parts of West Africa. The main characteristic of childhood is that young children are thought to be in contact with the spirit world. They come to the world reluctantly because life in the sp irit world is so pleasant. As parents we have to look after our children properly or they may return to the spirit world. We have to treat them with care and reverence. They can know and understand everything we tell them whatever languages we use. 5 We are parents from the Western world today. Some of us are from Europe others from North America Australia and other places. The main characteristic of childhood in our countries is that children are incompetent and dependent so they should play be part of the family and go to school. Children should not work. For example a child under 14 can’t look after a younger child unsupervised because they aren’t competent or responsible yet. If we found a child of 12 working in a factory or in a market the social services could intervene and the family could be prosecuted. 6 We are Fulani people. Most of us live in West Africa. For us the main characteristic of childhood is that children are competent and responsible. So by the age of four our girls can care for their younger siblings by six they can pound grain or produce milk and butter which they can sell in the market alongside us. 7 We are the Yanamam?? people from the Amazonian rainforest. We live among the hills where you probably call the border between Brazil and Venezuela. The main characteristic of childhood is that children are responsible and competent. Our girls help their mothers from a young age and by the age of ten they will be running the house. This is important because they will probably be married at 12 or 13. Our boys have fewer responsibilities. They can play because they don’t get married until later. Culture / Ethnic group Characteristics of childhood American colonial expected to be good and industrious Inuit develop a process of acquiring thought reason and understanding Tonga regularly beaten and told off by parents and older siblings seen as being very naughty until they develop social competence Beng treated with great care and reverence believed that they are in contact with the spirit world Childhood memories Unit 2 55 Culture / Ethnic group Characteristics of childhood Western world today seen as incompetent and irresponsible playing not working going to school not labouring consumption instead of production Fulani competent and responsible expected to work Yanamam?? competent and responsible girls expected to work from a young age be married and have children at 12 or 13 boys having fewer responsibilities and getting married later 4 Choose the best way to complete the sentences. 1 The characteristics of childhood a hundred years ago d . a would have interfered in their education b are similar to those of today c would be illegal today d meant that children were treated more like adults 2 The idea that childhood is a social construction suggests that a . a children experience childhood in different ways according to the society in which they live b enormous transformations have taken placewithin a relatively short time c children in the past worked harder d all children are.。

Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember thatmany summer days were (32)l ar gel yspent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say,some of the stories got quite (33)bi zar r e. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like ascience fiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes,we would wear old Halloween masks so the (34)r esem bl anceto an alien was remarkable!I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a(35)bar r en, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in "alien prison" (behind a bigtree) and (36)gi ggl edwith mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and(37)hel pl ess. Then I pulled myself together and remembered that I was the Super SecretSpy!I thought of my escape plan.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder,practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember that children are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how things are constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44. This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining story45. What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.B. The ability to think creatively is invaluable.C. The ability to think creatively helps children develop.D. The ability to think creatively is a natural part of childhood.。
新标准大学英语综合教程3课后练习答案_Unit 2
Unit 2Active reading (1)Language points1 ... I can recall the changing colors of those days, clear anddefinite as a pattern seen through a kaleidoscope. (Para 1)A kaleidoscope is a toy that shows changing patterns. It is made of a tube with mirrors and colored pieces of glass inside. The glass pieces move as you turn the kaleidoscope. As a metaphor, kaleidoscope means a view, situation or experience that keeps changing and has many different aspects.2 … and look over the lights of Boston that blazed a nd blinked faroff across the darkening water. (Para 2)To blaze means to burn strongly and brightly. The lights ... thatblazed and blinked means the lights were bright and went on and off continuously, like the blinking of eyes.3 The sunset flaunted its pink flag above the airport, and the soundof waves was lost in the perpetual droning of the planes. (Para 2) To flaunt means to deliberately try to make people notice something, eg your possessions, beauty, abilities etc, because you want them to admire you. The sunset flaunted its pink flag means the pink color of the setting sun was like a flag which the sun was using to try to make everyone notice and admire it. To drone means to make a continuous low sound. Because Logan is an international airport, the noise of the planes continued all the time. So it was perpetual.4 I marveled at the moving beacons on the runway and watched, until it grew completely dark, the flashing red and green lights that rose and setin the sky like shooting stars. (Para 2)A beacon is a bright light that shines in the dark and is used as a signal to warn people of danger or to show them the way to somewhere. Beacons are used in airports to show approaching and departing planes the position of the runways to help them land and take off safely. A shooting star is a meteor, a large piece of rock in space that falls through the earth’s atmosphere and makes a bright line of light in the sky. When you see a shooting star, it is said to be lucky, and some people make a wish.5 Out by the parking lot David and I found the perfect alcove for our Superman dramas. (Para 5)A parking lot is the American equivalent of a car park, British English.A lot in American English refers to a small area of land used for aparticular purpose.6 During recess, David and I came into our own. (Para 6)To come into one’s own means to have the opportunity to show how goodor useful someone is. Here the two children are good at imaginative playwith Superman games.7 We ignored the boys playing baseball on the gravel court and thegirls giggling at dodge-ball in the dell. (Para 6)Dodge-ball is a game played by children standing in a circle or on opposite sides of an area. A rubber ball is thrown by those outside, whotry to hit those in the circle. The children in the circle try to dodge the ball to avoid being hit.8 Our Superman games made us outlaws … (Para 6)An outlaw is a criminal, especially one who moves from place to placeto avoid being caught. There are many famous stories of outlaws in Western culture, eg Robin Hood, Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Ned Kelly etc. Here, the two children are outlaws because they play their imaginative games against the custom of other games like dodge-ball.9 … the sallow mamma’s boy on our block w ho was left out of theboys’ games ... and skin his fat knees. (Para 6)Mamma, mama, momma, mummy are children’s names for mother (mum). A mamma’s boy is one who depends too much on his mother and is not independent when he should be.To skin one’s knees m eans to hurt one’s knees by falling on a rough surface in a way that causes some skin to be removed.10 At the time my Uncle Frank was living with us while waiting to be drafted … (Para 8)The draft means conscription into the armed forces for military service. People who are drafted are made to join the army, navy etc; they are conscripts or draftees not volunteers.Reading and understanding3 Answer the questions.1 What were Sylvia Plath’s most important memories?She remembered winning a prize, Paula Br own’s new suit and the view from her window.2 Where did she live and what could she see from her bedroom window?She lived on the bay side of town, on Johnson Avenue, and she could see the lights of Boston and LoganAirport from her bedroom window.3 What did the view make her want to do?It made her want to fly in her dreams.4 Why did she have such vivid dreams?Because she was rarely tired when she went to bed.5 Who appeared in her dreams?Superman appeared and taught her to fly.6 Why did she enjoy the radio adventures of Superman?Because she loved the sheer poetry of flight.7 Where did her friend and she play Superman?At the dingy back entrance to the school, an alcove in a long passageway.Unit 2 Childhood memories468 Why do you think they chose Sheldon to be the villain?Because he was a mamma’s boy and was left out of the other boys’ games.9 How did she feel about her Uncle Frank?She admired him as she thought he bore an extraodinary resemblance to Superman incognito.4 Choose the best summary of the passage.3 Sylvia Plath wrote about her real and imaginary life as a child.Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 accurate and true (definite)2 continuing all the time (perpetual)3 to spin quickly in circles (whirl)4 to shine very brightly (blaze)5 to laugh in a nervous, excited or silly way that is difficult to control (giggle)6 to encourage someone to speak or continue speaking (prompt)7 to fall to the ground (tumble)6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words inActivity 5.Plath never needed to be (1) prompted to talk about her childhoodmemories. They were very (2) definite and still real to her as an adult.She imagined she could fly and (3) whirl through the air like Superman. Coming from the highways around Boston was the (4) perpetual sound of traffic. In the distance a plane was taking off, its lights (5) blazinginto the night sky. She remembered the sound of (6) giggling which camefrom the group of girls. Sadly in her later life it seemed as if Superman had (7) tumbled to earth.7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words inthe box.1 The lights at the airport went on and off all day and night. (blinked)2 The playground was like a desert. It was without any interesting or positive features and unfriendly. (barren)3 The boys were playing a children’s game in which the players chase and try to touch each other and the girls were gossiping and giggling.

(Para 4)A social construction refers to the process or result of creating an idea or system of behaviour in social contexts, ie it is created and developed between people and is not something natural or genetic.2 Social anthropologists have shown this in their studies ofpeoples ... (Para 5)Social anthropologists are scholars and researchers who study human societies, customs and beliefs from a social perspective, which may be distinct from the focus of physical anthropologists or linguistic anthropologists.3 Because they can’t be reasoned with, and don’t understand, parents treat them with a great deal of tolerance and leniency. (Para 5) Tolerance is the attitude of someone who is willing to accept other people’s belie fs or way of life without criticizing them even if they disagree with them. The word leniency means giving a punishment or acting in a way that is not as severe or harsh as it could be.4 They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality of social competence … (Para 6) Something is prized if it is considered to be very important or valuable. The examples in the passage emphasize how different cultural communities may give importance to quite different qualities which they expect from children, so the children are brought up very differently.5 They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted at, or beaten. (Para 6)To tell someone off means to criticize someone angrily for doing something wrong. If you are told off for doing something in a serious or official way, you are reprimanded.6 Looking at it from a cross-cultural perspective shows the wide variety of childhoods that exist acrossthe world … (Para 11)A cross-cultural perspective is a view which considers different cultures separately or independently and then makes comparisons. An intercultural perspective would look at the relations and interactions between different cultures or communities, taking inside views of each culture into account. A transcultural perspective would look at different cultures using knowledge, skills and insights which are thought to apply to a wide range of cultural contexts and which would help people in intercultural contexts.Reading and understanding3 Read the passage again and complete the table.Teaching tips• When Ss have completed the table on their own, divide the class into seven groups, each group being responsible for one row in the table. They have to summarize the characteristics of childhood of this ethnic group, and also include an example. Then they report to the class. Each group should also add related information they learned from the passage, and the language and culture notes. The presentation of each group could be given from that exact roles of parents from that exact cultural or ethnic group. If this is difficult, T may give each group a copy of the example below, and ask them to practise and present it to the class.• As a way to follow this up, T can ask each group, one by one, to compare their result with that of another group, without looking at their books. An alternative follow-up is for the T, together with one or two Ss, to take the roles of TV reporters who meet each group and ask them “on camera” to compare themselves with another group, and talk about how they understand the other group from a cross-cultural perspective.1 We are American colonial people. We lived in the 17th and 18th centuries on the east coast of America and our families settled here from Europe. In our time, children were expected to be good and industrious. That was the main characteristic of childhood. For example, when our girls were four they knitted stockings and mittens; when they were six they spun wool. We called them “Mrs” to show the girls our appreciation.2 We are Inuit people from the Arctic regions. Some of us are from Canada and Greenland, Denmark, others from Russia and Alaska of US. For us, children need to get ihuma – you would call this the process of acquiring thought, reason and understanding. That’s the main characteristic ofchildhood.For example, as parents we are tolerant and lenient with children until they are old enough to develop ihuma, then we can teach them and discipline them.3 We are from Tonga, a kingdom of about 170 islands in the south-west Pacific Ocean. As parents, we may regularly beat our children if they haven’t yet developed poto. You would think of poto as social competence. For us, it’s the main quality that our children need to develo p. So we treat them with discipline and physical punishment when they are mischievous or wilful.4 We are the Beng people. We live in different parts of West Africa. The main characteristic of childhood is that young children are thought to be in contact with the spirit world. They come to the world reluctantly because life in the spirit world is so pleasant. As parents, we have to look after our children properly, or they may return to the spirit world. We have to treat them with care and reverence. They can know and understand everything we tell them, whatever languages we use.5 We are parents from the Western world today. Some of us are from Europe, others from North America, Australia and other places. The main characteristic of childhood in our countries is that children are incompetent and dependent, so they should play, be part of the family and go to school. Children should not work. For example, a child under 14can’t look after a younger child unsupervised because they aren’t competent or responsible yet. If we found a child of 12 working in afactory or in a market, the social services could intervene and the family could be prosecuted.6 We are Fulani people. Most of us live in West Africa. For us, the main characteristic of childhood is that children are competent and responsible. So by the age of four our girls can care for their younger siblings; by six they can pound grain or produce milk and butter which they can sell in the market alongside us.7 We are the Yanamamö people from the Amazonian rainforest. We live among the hills where you probably call the border between Brazil and Venezuela. The main characteristic of childhood is that children are responsible and competent. Our girls help their mothers from a young age and by the age of ten they will be running the house. This is important because they will probably be married at 12 or 13.Our boys have fewer responsibilities. They can play because they don’tget married until later.Culture / Ethnic group Characteristics of childhoodAmerican colonial expected to be good and industriousInuit develop a process of acquiring thought, reason and understanding Tongaregularly beaten and told off by parents and older siblings, seen as being verynaughty, until they develop social competenceBengtreated with great care and reverence, believed that they are in contact with thespirit worldChildhood memories Unit 255Culture / Ethnic group Characteristics of childhoodWestern world todayseen as incompetent and irresponsible; playing not working, going to school notlabouring, consumption instead of productionFulani competent and responsible; expected to workYanamamöcompetent and responsible; girls expected to work from a young age, be marriedand have children at 12 or 13; boys having fewer responsibilities and gettingmarried later4 Choose the best way to complete the sentences.1 The characteristics of childhood a hundred years ago (d) .(a) would have interfered in their education(b) are similar to those of today(c) would be illegal today(d) meant that children were treated more like adults2 The idea that childhood is a social construction suggests that (a) .(a) children experience childhood in different ways according to the society in which they live(b) enormous transformations have taken place within a relatively short time(c) children in the past worked harder(d) all children are different from adults3 Both Inuit and Tongan parents understand that (b) .(a) their children need to be treated in a way which would beconsidered harsh by outsiders(b) their children don’t yet possess certain prized qualities, such as reasoning and social competence(c) growing up is a process of acquiring thought, not social skills(d) bringing up their children requires tolerance and discipline4 Parents of Beng children treat them with great care because they (d) .(a) think children know all human languages and understand all cultures(b) think life in the earthly world is unpleasant(c) believe the children still live in a spirit world(d) fear the children may choose to return to the spirit world wherethey lived before they were born5 Western childcare practices (c) .(a) include allowing eight-year-old girls to work and 12-year-old girls to marry(b) treat the child in a bizarre and possibly harmful way(c) see the child as being incompetent, dependent on the parents, and incapable of looking after other children(d) are only similar to Yanamamö childcare practices in that girls help out at home, and boys are allowed to play well into their teens6 The main idea of the passage is that (c) .(a) history shows us how our perception of childhood has changed(b) childhood is viewed in different ways according to the child’s cultural and social upbringing(c) both history and society can affect our perception of childhood(d) Western notions of childhood are outdated and not informed(continued)Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Read the passage again and find the words in the box.

When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.Children should be free to play the day away. We should encourage them to use their imagination, create entire worlds in a cardboard box, and explore their backyard as if they were exploring an undiscovered country. You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination, nor can you overestimate the value of an inquisitive mind, a respect for the environment, and an urge to question why everything is as it is. These traits are all developed and nurtured when we're children and, without them, we would not be able to function as adults in the modern world.Research has shown that children are happiest and healthiest when they have the freedom to act like children. This may seem obvious, but it's often forgotten as parents push their children to study harder, practice longer, and essentially act like adults. It's important to remember thatchildren are constantly learning. Therefore, they are also learning as they're playing. Exploring nature fosters a respect for the environment that may lead children to become biologists or naturalists. Creating with paint and crayons instills a love of art that might help develop young artists or musicians. Playing make-believe stimulates the imagination in a way that writers, filmmakers, and actors find most useful. Building with blocks helps the mind understand how thingsare constructed and might lead to an interest in engineering.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this shouldnot be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?41. Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.42. Which of the following would the writer of this passage likely NOT agree with?A. Adults should understand that children learn while they play.B. It is important for children to play and act young.C. Many games help children appreciate potential careers.D. Children should concentrate on their schoolwork above everything else.43. "The grass is always greener on the other side" means _____.A. other situations always seem better than the ones we are inB. people always lack confidence in themselvesC. people prefer to live in a less barren landD. people always want their children to grow up fast44.

外研版小学英语第三册Module 3 Unit 2 What are you doing?教案及教学反思本课是外研版小学英语（供三年级起始用）第三册第三模块（Module）第二单元（Unit），本课以如何询问对方或他人正在发生的事情即What are you doing?/ What is he (she) doing? 为主线，展开如何现在进行时问句的学习。
本课是对上节课的拓展和延伸，而接下来的Module 4也将紧紧围绕现在进行时这一主线，所以本课起到了承上启下的作用。
学情分析本班共有学生29人，为村小学生，其中有少数学生对英语学习有强烈的好奇心和求知欲，大多数学生对英语学习还不够重视。
对此，培养所有学生对英语学习的兴趣是最关键最紧迫的任务。
因此本人在进行教学设计时，注重突出趣味性。
教学目标1．知识目标：词汇：listen to ;read句型：能理解、会说并能在实际情景中运用What are you doing? What’s he (she) doing? 句型2．能力目标：(1)能听懂老师发出的指令，迅速做出反应；(2)能综合运用所学知识进行口语交际。
3．情感目标：培养学生正确的语音，语调和语感，使学生能够进行交流，并能达到灵活运用，培养学生学习英语的兴趣。
教学重点和难点1、重点：如何询问对方和他人正在发生的动作2、难点：What are you doing? What’s he (she) doing? 句型的自由运用教学过程（教学过程的表述不必详细到将教师、学生的所有对话、活动逐字记录，但是应该把主要教学环节、教师活动、学生活动、设计意图很清楚地再现。
）一、Warming up ：1、 Sing a song.设计意图：将Unit 1 的四个句子穿入歌曲中，为了复习第一单元学习过的表述他人正在做某事的句型。
2、I will show you some pictures, and let’s talk about them(PPT上呈现图片)，提示学生，让他们用He (She) is ……表述。

Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember thatmany summer days were (32)largelyspent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say,some of the stories got quite (33)bizarre. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a sciencefiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we wouldwear old Halloween masks so the (34)resemblanceto an alien was remarkable!I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a(35)barren, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in "alien prison" (behind a big tree)and (36)giggledwith mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and(37)helplessSpy!I thought of my escape plan. When Alien Joseph came to check on me in the alien prison, I(38)whirledaround quickly and grabbed his alien laser gun. In a (39)blazeof laser fire, I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison! I was free! Super Secret Spy had won again!Just then, Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon, the sun was setting, andwas upon us. We were both hungry, so we were incredibly happy when my mother called us inside for dinner. Even Super Secret Spies and aliens need to eat!When we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies oflife. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.C. Children should be free to play the day away.D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.This passage is best described as _____.A. a first-person memoirB. a dramatic dialogueC. a persuasive essayD. an entertaining storyWhat does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.。
