Section One Pre-reading ActivitiesI. Reading aloud: Listen and read the following sentences, paying attention to the pauses between sense groups.1. When I was ten / I was suddenly confronted with the anguish of moving from the only home / I had ever known.2. “It isn’t easy, / is it, Billy?” / he said softly, / sitting down on the steps beside me.3. I was standing by his rosebush / when an uncle came to tell me / that my grandfather had died.4. It's that special place in your heart / that makes them so.5. “ ... We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye / and they all have one thing in common: / sadness.”II. Cultural informationQuote: Bertrand Russell: Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer. But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to overcome it — so at least it seems to me — is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal.Henry David Thoreau: The failures and reverses which await men — and one after another sadden the brow of youth — add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do.III. Audiovisual supplement: Watch a video clip and answer the following questions.1. What are the people doing in the video?2. How did the boys feel?3. Have your family ever moved from one place to another? If you have, how did you feel when you were going to be away from the old place?Answers to the questions:1. The mother and her three children were moving to a new place.2. Simon felt excited about moving to a large house because he wanted to keep some bigger pets. But Jared was not happy about the moving. / He was angry about it.3. Students are encouraged to answer this question freely.Video Script: Mom: There it is. Pretty much … how I remember it! I was younger than you last time I was here, Simon. Mallory:Well … it’s … big. Simon:Yes! So I can get bigger pets here, right, Mom? Mom:Sure, get a cow! Get a whole flock! Simon:Herd. Mom:That, too. What do you think, Jared? ... Jared? ... OK, here we go! Simon: It’s OK, Mr. Tibbs. It’s OK. … Oh, it has that old people smell. … It’s just an observation, not a judgment. Mom: You’re angry about the move. I get that. Just what are you expecting your silent protest will get you? … At least acknowledge this isn’t the way to deal with your anger the way you said you were gonna do. Say yes with your head. Two blinks. …Nothing. [sigh] Mal, you and Simon take your stuff. Wait in the foyer while I go look for the main circuit breaker. Mallory: OK, Mom. … Get out of the car right now! Jared: You are not my mother, Mallory! Mallory:No, I’m worse. Because Mom doesn’t believe in hitting!Section Two Global ReadingI. Main idea: What is the story narrated in the text about?The story told by the author is about how his grandfather, with his own life experience, helped him to overcome the sadness he felt when he was about to leave his old house, and opened his eyes to the truth of his advice that one should never say goodbye to those who were dear to him.The text conveys the message that we should never give in to bitterness or sadness, we should always be firm and strong-willed, and that we should always remember the happy moments in our lives and cherish friendship.II. Structural analysis1. How are the events of the essay arranged? List some words and phrases which indicate the chronological order.The story is related in a chronological order with a flashback in the middle part. Words and phrases which indicate a chronological order: when I was ten, When the final day came, I continued to, a year and half later, then, when it came to my turn, … Words and phrases which indicate a flashback: a long, long time ago, one day, …Section Three Detailed ReadingParagraphs 1-4 Questions1) What do you know about the author’s home? (Paragraph 1)The author’s home was a large old house, in which four generations had lived in harmony and experienced both happiness and sadness.2) Why did the author shudder and shed tears when the final day came? (Paragraph 2)Because he was extremely reluctant to leave and could not bear to say goodbye to his grandfather and his friends as well as to his big old house.3) Why did his grandfather advise him not to use the word “goodbye” to friends?(Paragraph 4)Because the word “goodbye” seemed too final, too cold, for friends to use and it implied sadness. His grandfather wanted him to recall the joy and happy events of the life instead of feeling sad and miserable.Words and Expressions: 1. confront: vt. 1) be faced with and have to deal withe.g. The actress was confronted by a large group of reporters as she left the stage door.Whenever we are confronted w ith any difficulties, we shouldn’t give up what we are doing.2) force to deal with or accept the truths of; bring face to face withe.g. When the police confronted her with the evidence, she confessed she was guilty.Collocations: be confronted with confront sb. with sth.

综合教程Unit 1 Never Say GoodbyeText I课文参考译文：永远不说再见10岁那年，突然面临要从我唯一熟悉的家搬走，我感到痛苦万分。
我的全部生活,虽然简单，但都是在那所古老的大房子里度过的。
而且一家人四代同堂，在那间屋子里和和睦睦，有过悲伤也有过欢乐。
搬家的最后日期到来的那一刻，我跑到那如同避风港的小后门廊边，一个人坐在那里，全身颤抖，泪水从心头涌出。
忽然，我感到有只手搭在我的肩膀上。
我仰起头,看到了外公。
“这不大好受，对吧，比利?”他温柔地说道，在我旁边的台阶上坐了下来。
“外公，”我哭着回答，“我怎么能够向您和我所有的朋友说再见呢?”他望向那些苹果树，盯着看了好一阵子。
“再见是一个多么令人伤心的词，”他说，“对朋友说再见，听起来太决绝，太冷酷无情了。
我们似乎有很多种说再见的方式，但它们都有一个共同之处，那就是让人感到悲伤。
”我继续看着他的脸。
他轻轻地握住我的手。
“跟我来,我的朋友。
”他轻声说。
我们手牵着手，走到前院他最喜欢的地方，那里，一大簇红色的玫瑰丛异常夺目。
“比利，你在这里看到了什么?”他问。
我看着那些花朵，不知该说些什么，然后回答道，“我看到了平静而美丽的东西，外公。
”他跪了下来，把我拉近了一点。
“比利，不仅仅是玫瑰本身看起来漂亮，是你心里那处特别的地方让它们如此美丽。
”他的目光再次和我的目光相遇。
“比利,很久很久以前我就种下了这些玫瑰在你妈妈出生之前。
我在大儿子出生那天把花苗栽在了土里,这是我对上帝表达感激之情的方式。
那个男孩的名字叫比利，和你的名字一样。
我过去常常看到他为你的外婆摘玫瑰花。
”此刻,我看到了外公眼中的泪花。
我以前从没见他哭过。
他的声音变得有点沙哑。
“有一天，一场可怕的战争爆发了，我的儿子，和其他很多人的儿子一样，背井离乡去和敌人作战。
我送他走到车站.... 3个月后，一封电报发来了，说我的儿子在意大利的一个小村子阵亡了。
我能记起来的这辈子和他说过的最后一句话就是再见。

10. His eyes met mine again. “Billy, I planted these roses a long, long time ago — before your mother was even a dream. I put them into the soil the day my first son was born. It was my way of saying thank you to God. That boy’s name was Billy, just like yours. I used to watch him pick roses for his mother.” 11. I saw my grandfather’s tears. I had never seen him cry before. His voice became hoarse. 12. “One day a terrible war came, and my son, like so many sons, went away to fight a great evil. He and I walked to the train station together ... Three months later a telegram came. My son had died in some tiny village in Italy. All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in this life was goodbye.”

Japan A. a pen and pencil set B. a set of four pensWhy not?Key: B. “Four” sounds like the word for “death” in Japanese.TranscriptGifts and CulturesNarrator: In many countries, people give special gifts at certain times. Sometimes the customs seem unusual. For example, in Australia, a birthday cake for a 21-year-old is often shaped like akey. It means the person is an adult and can come home at any time. In parts of Africa, people give a cow as a wedding present, because they believe that a cow can bring good luck to the newly-weds. Before Korean students take university entrance tests, their friends give them sticky rice candy for luck. The friends hope that the students will pass the test and "stick to" the university. The following short conversations will tell you about different customs in China, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy and Japan.Number 1: ChinaWoman: Did I tell you I'm going to China?Man: China? Great.Woman: Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business. I have to buy some gifts.Man: Good idea. What are you going to take?Woman: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs. They're colorful, beautiful? also lightweight. I don't want to carry anything heavy.Man: Ah, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and people are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you should never give clothing unless you know the person really well?Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?Woman: Clothing -- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give them. Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just uncomfortable. What should you bring?Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for the house.Number 3: SwitzerlandMan: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should take flowers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses.Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of love and romance.Man: Oh, I didn't know that.Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.Number 4: ItalyWoman: I'd like some flowers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.Man: Ma'am, I don't think you should give ten flowers. In Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, and so on -- are bad luck.Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine flowers then.Number 5: JapanWoman: May I help you?Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them.Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.Man: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.Woman: You said you're going to Japan?Man: Yeah.Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, don't give four of anything.Man: Why not?Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "death." It's bad luck.Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After all, pens write in any language! Man: Uh ... yeah. Right.。

Unit 1 Never Say GoodbyeWhen I was ten I was suddenly confronted with the anguish of moving from the only home I had ever known. My whole life, brief as it was, had been spent in that big old house, gracefully touched with the laughter and tears of four generations.When the final day came, I ran to the haven of the small back porch and sat alone, shuddering, as tears welled up from my heart. Suddenly I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I looked up to see my grandfather. "It isn't easy, is it, Billy?" he said softly, sitting down on the steps beside me."Grandpa," I replied through my tears, "how can I ever say goodbye to you and all my friends?"For a moment he just stared off into the apple trees. "Goodbye is such a sad word," he said. "It seems too final, too cold, for friends to use. We seem to have so many ways of saying goodbye and they all have one thing in common: sadness".I continued to look into his face. He gently took my hand in his. "Come with me, my friend," he whispered.We walked, hand in hand, to his favorite place in the front yard, where a huge red rosebush sat conspicuously alone."What do you see here, Billy?" He asked.I looked at the flower, not knowing what to say, and then answered, "I see something soft and beautiful, Grandpa."Kneeling, he pulled me close. "It isn't just the roses that are beautiful, Billy. It's that special place in your heart that makes them so."His eyes met mine again. "Billy, I planted these roses a long, long time ago—before your mother was even a dream. I put them into the soil the day my first son was born. It was my way of saying thank-you to God. That boy's name was Billy, just like yours. I used to watch him pick roses for his mother."I saw my grandfather's tears. I had never seen him cry before. His voice became hoarse."One day a terrible war came, and my son, like so many sons, went away to fight a great evil. He and I walked to the train station together ... Three months later a telegram came. My son had died in some tiny village in Italy. All I could think of was that the last thing I said to him in this life was goodbye."Grandpa slowly stood up. "Don't ever say goodbye, Billy. Don't ever give in to the sadness and the loneliness of that word. I want you to remember instead the joy and the happiness of those times when you first said hello to a friend. Take that special hello and lock it away within you—in that place in your heart where summer is an always time. When you and your friends must part, I want you to reach deep within you and bring back that first hello."A year and half later, my grandfather became gravely ill. When he returned from several weeks in the hospital, he wanted his bed next to the window, where he could see his beloved rosebush.Then the family was summoned and I returned to the old house. It was decided that the oldest grandchildren would be allowed to say their goodbyes.When it came to my turn, I noted how tired he looked. His eyes were closed and his breathing was slow and hard.I took his hand as gently as he had once taken mine."Hello, Grandpa," I whispered. His eyes slowly opened,"Hello, my friend," he said, with a brief smile. His eyes closed again and I moved on.I was standing by his rosebush when an uncle came to tell me that my grandfather had died. Remembering Grandpa's words, I reached deep within me for those special feelings that had made up our friendship. Suddenly, and truly, I knew what he had meant about never saying goodbye—about refusing to give in to the sadness.永远不要说“再见”十岁时，我突然面临着搬家的痛苦，要搬离我自小认识的、唯一的家。
