Unit 3Text AThanks, Mom, for All You Have DoneBob BurnsWe tend to get caught up in everyday business and concerns and forget some of the things that are most important. Too few of us stop and take the time to say “thank you” to our mothers.With a lett er to my mother on the occasion of Mother’s Day, I’m going t o take a minute to reflect. Feel free to use any of this in greeting your own mother on Sunday, May 10. Happy Mother’s Day to all.Dear Mom,This letter, I know, is long past due. I know you’ll fo rgive the tardiness, you always do.There are so many reasons to say thank you, it’s hard to begin. I’ll always remember you were there when you were needed.When I was a child, as happens with young boys, there were cuts and bumps and scrapes that always felt better when tended by you.You kept me on the straight path, one I think I still walk.There was nothing quite so humbling as standing outside my elementary school classroom and seeing you come walking down the hall. You were working at the school and I often managed to get sent outside class for something. Your chiding was gentle, but right to the point.I also remember that even after I grew bigger than you, you weren’t afraid to rem ind me who was in charge. For that I thank you.You did all the things that mothers do — the laundry, the cooking and cleaning — all without complaint or objection. But you were never too busy to help with a problem, or just give a hand.You let me learn the basics in the kitchen, and during the time I was on my own it kept me from going hungry.You taught by example and for that I am grateful. I can see how much easier it is with my own daughter to be the best model I can be. You did that for me.Your children are grown now, your grandchildren, almost. You can look back with pride now and know you can rest. As mothers are judged, you stand with the best.God bless you, Mom.Text BHis Life’s WorkWhen his wife died, the baby was two. They had six other children — three boys and three girls, ranging in age from 4 to 16.A few days after he became a widower, the man’s parents and his wife’s parents came to visit.“We’ve been talking,” they said, “about how to make this work. There’s no way you can take care of all these children and work to make a living. So, we’ve arran ged for each child to be placed with a different uncle and aunt. We’re making sure that all of your children will be living right here in the neighborhood, so you can see them anytime… ”“You have no idea how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness,” the man said. “But I want you to know,” he smiled and continued, “if the children should interfere with my work, or if we should need any help, we’ll let you know.”Over the next few weeks the man worked with his children, assigning them chores and giving them responsibilities. The two older girls, aged 12 and 10, began to cook and do the laundry and household chores. The two older boys, 16 and 14, helped their father with farming.But then another blow came. The man developed arthritis. His hands swelled, and he was unable to use his farm tools. The children shouldered their loads well, but the man could see that he would not be able to continue in this way. He sold his farming equipment, moved the family to a small town and opened a small business.The family was welcomed into th e new neighborhood. The man’s business flourished. He derived pleasure from seeing people and serving them. Word of his pleasant personality and excellent customer service began to spread. People came from far and wide to do business with him. And the children helped both at home and at work. Their father’s pleasure in his work brought satisfaction to them, and he drew pleasure from their successes.The children grew up and got married. Five of the seven went off to college, most after they were married. Each one paid his or her own way. The children’s collegiate successes were a source of pride to the father. He had stopped at the sixth grade.Then came grandchildren. No one enjoyed grandchildren more than this man. As they became toddlers, he invited them to his workplace and his small home. They brought each other great joy.Finally, the youngest daughter — the baby who had been two years old at her mother’s death — got married.And the man, his life’s work completed, died.This man’s work had been the lonely but joyful task of raising his family. This man was my father. I was the 16 year old, the oldest of seven.Text CThe Odd Couple (奇特的一对夫妻)Lisa GiacomoI have always wondered how my parents were attracted to each other. Their personalities, temperaments, and attitudes toward money are all opposite （相反的）. The saying that “opposites attract”certainly holds true for them.Their personalities are quite different. My mother is outgoing（爽直的）and friendly. She enjoys people because, to her, they are the most interesting form of life. When she meets new people, she greets them as if they were old friends, whether they are first time clients（顾客）at her beauty shop （美容院）or acquaintances（熟人）of someone she already likes. She loves to socialize. Making conversation（交谈）with any type（类型）of personality comes easily to her —it’s a natural quality（品质）.My father, on the other hand, is conservative（保守的）and shy . Socializing is not easy for him. His shyness may give the impression（印象）that he’s cold, but once he gets to know you, his warmth and sincerity（真诚）emerge（显现出来）.When it comes to controlling one’s temper（脾气）, my mother clearly outdoes（胜过）my father. She will tolerate（容忍）a lot before she gets angry and prefers to rationalize（自我辩解）rather than lose her temper. However, my father’s temper is like a short fuse （导火线）on a stick of dynamite （炸药）. He will flare up （勃然大怒）immediately（立刻）when somethingis said or done wrongly. Also very stubborn（固执的）, he always insists（坚持）that he is right. Our dinners often turn into debates（争论）, with the issue（问题）usually being money.My mother is not a bargain（便宜货）shopper. She does not cut out coupons（赠券）or compare（比较）products or prices; she is impatient —if she likes something, she buys it. My father, therefore（因此）, has always done our food shopping. He compares products and prices, looks for sales（廉价出售）and bargains, and buys only what he needs. He has also always taken care of our household finances（财政）and is the bookkeeper and accountant（会计）of the family. My father says that my mother has champagne（香槟酒）tastes （品味）with a beer（啤酒）pocketbook, and she says that he’s cheap, but there is a happy compromise（妥协）—she spends and he saves.“It must be love,”I say about this odd couple. They may be very different, but they are also very compatible（和谐的）. Learning from each other ensures （确保）the success of their partnership（夫妻关系）.。

Unit 3 Expectations and Fulfillments 新21世纪大学英语综合教程BOOK 3
Video script:
Hi class, Glad to meet all of you again to continue the journey of English learning. Today we are going to explore what expectation is all about. Surely each of you comes to college with expectations of your parents, grandparents, and high school teachers. And to the list are added new ones of college instructors and professors upon your arrival at college. I must say that you are lucky enough to have expectant people around you, because they care about you and your future. Are you working hard to live up to1 their expectations?
Unit 3 Expectations and Fulfillments 新21世纪大学英语综合教程BOOK 3
Well, I have a hunch2 at the moment that you take it with a grain of salt3. I can tell from the words on your lips that expectations can be too high to meet, just because they can be unrealistic and impracticable4. I can understand that. You are expecting me to realize that on one hand, you have potential to explore to the full5; on the other hand, you have your limitations6 to admit frankly. That’s for sure. From this point of view, expectations are not supposed to be high, but to be right. Right expectations are individualized7;

6 That summer, once school was out, I found my freedom expanded hugely. On days when my friends and I would once have ridden bikes to the public pool, we drove my car along the river road to explore an old abandoned train station. Instead of riding to baseball games in the coach’s van like little kids, we now rode in my car as sophisticated adults. We wore sunglasses, and spit sunflower seeds out the window, and felt as good as if we’d already won the game.

Unit 3 T ext A The Sense of WonderI. T eaching Objectives1.To understand the writer’s purpose to write the text and appreciate the senses that we usually take forgranted.2.To grasp the key words and phrases.3.To master the skills of writing and reading in this unit.1) To persuade someone that it’s easier than they think to do something worthwhile.2) To understand idiomatic expressions in reading materials.II. Teaching Content1. Lead-in Activities2. Text Organization3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading4. Language Points( key words, phrases and difficult sentences)5. Grammar Focus ( The “if…then…” structure)6. Guided Practice (exercises, oral practice and group work)III. Teaching Process1.Warm-up Questions1)If you had to lose one of your senses, which one would you choose to give up? And having lost it, what do you think you’d miss the most?2) It’s common to speak of “ the five senses”---but are there only five? Some researchers say that we all have and use other senses as well. What others can you think of ?2.Text OrganizationPart I (Para 1) Fact: Children lose their sense of wonder before they reach adulthood.Part II (Paras.2-5) How to preserve or keep alive the sense of wonder?(Questions) 1) Who can be of help? 2) How can parents be of help?Part III (Paras6-9) What is the value of preserving or strengthening the sense of wonder?(It is more than just a pleasant way of passing the golden hours or children.)3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading1)To persuade someone that it’s easier than they think to do something worthwhile by placing most of the possible objections in “ even if” and “wherever” clauses and arguing against them or responding directly and immediately.e.g (Para 4) Even if you have little knowledge of nature at your disposal, there is still much youcan do for your child. Wherever you are and whatever your resources, you can still look up at the sky….Y ou can still feel…2)To understand idiomatic expressions with the help of the context cl ues― examples, explanations, contrasts or parallel phrases. (Note: In the case of idiomatic expressions, word formation clues can be1misleading.)4. Language points1) wonder --- n. a feeling of great surprise and admiration caused by seeing or experiencing something that is strange and new (the title)Examples:The sight of the Great Wall stretching out under their feet filled them with wonder.The children watched the magician in silent wonder.2) If I had influence with the angels who are supposed to pr eside over all children, ….

(para.2)confront --- vt. stand or meet face to face; bring face to faceIf a problem, task, or difficulty confronts you, or if you are confronted with it, it is something that you cannot avoid and must deal with; if you confront a difficult situation, you accept the fact that it exists and try to deal with it.Examples:We soon have to confront a fundamental question.Can you think of some typical problems that confront Chinese learning English?physical --- a. having material existence; of or relating to material thingsExamples:All physical objects occupy space.the physical world4) in a mood of self-defeat---feeling helpless. (para.2)5) it is not half so important to know as it is to feel (para.3)Paraphrase --- to feel is certainly more important than to know.Not half is used in informal English to emphasize an opinion or the truth of a statement. Examples:It isn't half cold here in winter.Films these days aren’t half as good as they used to be.to feel---to have the feeling or emotion; to have the sense of wonder.to know ---to have the knowledge; to know the facts.6) It is more important to pave the way for chi ldren’s desire to know … (para.3)pave the way (for )---create a situation in which something specified is possible and can happen.] Examples:Data from the probe will pave the way for a more detailed study of Mars.His work paved the way for the new theory.7) have little knowledge of nature at your disposal (para.4)at sb.'s disposal -- available for sb. to use as he wishesExamples:If you want some help preparing for the party I can be at your disposal all day2I would take you if I could, but I don’t h ave a car at my disposal this week.8) the mysteries of natural selection embodied in the perfume and flavor of fruit. (para.4)Natural selection---The theory of natural selection is based on the idea that living things are in constant competition for limited but essential resources in their environment -- such as food, places to hide, and opportunities to breed. Accordingly, natural selection favors any trait that helps an organism or its offspring survive. For example, the daring shown by birds in the face of a predator near the nest involves the risk of death. Nonetheless, natural selection compensates the risk by increasing the offspring's chances of survival.embody -- vt. contain and express as an important featureExamples:His principles were embodied in her behavior.The latest computer model embodies many new features.8) a matter of being open to what lies all around you (para.5)be open to (an idea, etc.) -- be ready and willing to accept and to try and understand or consider (an idea, etc.)Examples:We haven't decided on a price, but we're open to offers.We are open to suggestions.9)their thoughts can find paths that lead to inner satisfaction and to renewed excitement in living (para.7) Paraphrase --- they manage to think of ways to achieve mental satisfaction and rediscover happiness in lifeInner is used to describe feelings or emotions which people have but which they do not express or show to other people.Examples:His inner feelings of failure came over him.She longed for inner clam.10) contemplate the beauty of the earth -- observe the beauty of the earth thoughtfully (para.7) Contemplate stresses the focusing of one's thoughts on something, often in a deep, quiet and serious way and for a long time.Examples:He contemplated the problem before he announced his decision.She stood there contemplating the painting.11) There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature…(para.7)Paraphrase ---There is something that has the immense power of making things normal again in the cycle of nature.heal monly suggests a restoring to soundness of an affected part after a wound or sore.

Grammar Focusif….then…The if clause implies an assumption the speaker is making which is not widely held, while the then clause lays out the consequences of that line of reasoning. Then used in the structure often means “in that case”, “therefore”, or “as a result”. The structure is mainly used in written English.Examples:If any questions do occur to you, then don’t hesitate to write to us.If I haven’t heard from you by Friday, then I’ll assume you’re not coming.6. Guided Practice1)Discuss questions with group members using imagination: Page 77a)If you could spend a month completely alone in a beautiful natural setting, how would theexperience benefit you?b)If you were a sound, what sound would you be? Why?c)What if you were a taste of a smell?2) Ask several students to retell the text by using their own words.7. After-class Assignments1) Review Text A2) Do exercises:Structure (Ex. IX. pp.80)Cloze (Ex. X. pp. 81)Translation (Ex. XI., pp.82)3) Structured Writing (p. 85)Self-study1. The title of the text, which is at the same time the key phrase of the passage, refers to a feeling children are gifted with, that of great excitement and admiration aroused by the atrange and new. This concept runs through the whole text, yet the phrase itself is not often repeated. Instead, other variants are use that point to the same idea.Please list some such expressions (at least 6) occuring in the text and write them down in your notebook..It is common in English writing to use different phrases to refer to the same idea or concept, or even objects, sometimes with a little variation. A wareness of this will certainly facilitate your reading.2. Finish T ext Comprehension on page 64. (10 questions)3. For the paragraph on page 69 Ex. XI, first translate it into Chinese and then learn it by heart. Y ou will be checked after we finish the discussion of the text.Text B The Innocent EyeLanguage Points1.When we were very young we were all artists.--- When we were children, we all had a sense of the4beautiful things in life.An artist, a person who practices any of the fine arts., is generally believed to have a keen sense of what is beautiful in life.2.We all came to this world with the doors of perception wide open.--- When we were born, wewere all ready to receive any information through our senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.3.T ouch by touch we built up our store of tactile impressions, keenly sensed in minute detail.---Slowly we began to remember a lot about how various thins felt, even with a keen sense of their precise details.touch by touch---with every experience of touchingbuild up---acquire or increase gradually.tactile impressions---memories gained by touching.minute---a. very small in size or amount; very accurate or precise.4.through the s ense of vision we were able to “feel” things beyond the grasp of our hands.---bylooking at them we were able to know about things which we couldn’t reach and touch with our hands.5.this kind of seeing was not the rapid sophisticated eye-sweep of the efficient fact-findingadult.---This way we, as children, learned about things through the sense of vision was different from the quick, experienced way efficient adults discover the truth about things.eye-sweep---n. a look around6.your eye would move no faster than your finger---you could not just flick your eyes back and forth;your eyes would have to follow your moving fingers.7.do all our living at the speed our machines have imposed upon us---do everything in life at thequick speed required by the machines.8.We are hungry for we don’t know what.---We miss something, but we do not knowhungry---desirous9.the interaction between positive and negative space---the mutual influence between space taken upby something and blank space.10.Once more we feel in touch with our world; our aesthetic sense is being fed and we arecomforted.---Once we are learning about the world through our senses; we begin to appreciate life’s beauties and we are happy again.11.When no preconceived ideas keep us from looking and we take all the time we need to really feelwhat we see…the universe opens up and we catch our breath in awe at the incredible complexity of design in the humblest things.---When we stop looking at things by identifying and labeling and have sufficient time for feel-seeing…we begin to appreciate things we have not appreciated previously and we feel amazed to find the incredible beauty in the details of the simplest things.catch one’s breath---take a sudden deep breath, often when one sees something extremely beautiful, exciting, or shocking.5。

9 Not until its engine died did I realize what had made the car so special. While most of my friends invested in car stereos that could rattle windows a block away, I stuck with the old original radio that barely picked up two stations on a good night. Mostly, we just left it turned off. There were no bored silences or demands that I buy a better radio, though. We filled the musical void by arguing about girls, making up silly songs about one another, or telling stories.

3.11 Stock levels have been low for two weeks now.2 Can you e-mail these sales figures through to head office as soon aspossible?3 Hold on a minute, please, I' ll transfer you to a supervisor.4 We need to deliver this consignment on Friday.5 The production line is operating at full capacity.6 The Board of Directors have fixed the Annual General Meeting forTuesday the second.7 Why do we always have to check with the parent company beforemaking decisions?8 All our engineers are out working on repairs at the moment.3.2I= Interviewer, RB = Richard Brown)How does Cognosis analyse the character of a business?Understanding the character or personality of a business is important because it shapes and defines everything the organization does and can do. So we use a combination of four approaches. First, we study the tone and and style of the company's communications. Second, we interview the company's top executives in depth. Third, we conduct research, more broadly, across the company's staff and its customers. And finally, we'll analyze the company's internal documents. That provides insight into how the business talks to itself. And when we've got that sort of input we can classify a business as one of sixteen distinct character types. And these handle aspects of change, innovation and relating to customers in very different ways.3.3Can you give an example of how a business changed its organisation and why?Yeah. Many businesses try to change their organisation - their culture- and they do that to be better able to compete and grow. But it's a very hard thing to do. It's often easier to change a business's Character by merging with or acquiring a competitor. A good example of this was the merger of Guinness and Grand Metropolitan in 1998. This created a twenty-three-billion-pound company, Diageo, the world leader in spirits. The top team achieved a very substantial change in culture by being very clear at the outset that it was creating a new and different culture from the two companies that merged. And they did that by laying out a very clear vision. They were very specific about how the new business would be run. They laid out clear values and ways of working for staff and they backed this up with a huge investment in staff training. This created a completely new culture which has been hugely successful.3.4Are some types of business organisation always more successful than others?Well, our research suggests that there are sixteen different types of organisational character, orculture. And no single type is consistently associated with business success or market leadership. Having said that, we do find that particularly successful companies tend to be similar in three ways. First, they're future oriented: they have a very clear sense of where they are headed. Second, they're customer driven: they invest huge time and energy in understanding and responding to their markets. And third, they are values_driven. By that I mean that people inside the organisation are very clear about the values th at sh ould guide their decisions and behaviors - the principles by which the business is run.3.5Conversation 1L Hello Marcus, nice to see you again .M Hi Louise. How are you?L Fine, thanks. I haven't seen you for ages. We last met at the Frankfurtfair, didn't we? How's 'everything going?M Pretty well at the moment.

21st英语演讲稿三稿Weareordinary

21st英语演讲稿三稿Weareordinary第一篇：21st 英语演讲稿三稿We are ordinaryWe are Ordinary who Need More SpaceLadies and Gentlemen:I’d like to share with you my story about my e-life at first.Right before I graduated from primary school, I first learned about the Internet.There were screenshots of several famous web pages in one of my textbooks, which were black-and-white but intrigued me a lot.It was not until in high school that I had access to the Internet.The exploration to check how the Internet would benefit me began.With caution and curiosity, I made a QQ account and registered myself as a male.One summer vacation, I entered an English chatting group.There was nobody replying to me except one c alled “Sea”.When I asked him which grade he was in, he replied a “3”.Since I was senior 1 then, I thought that he was in senior high, too.And he must have been a senior 3 student.“Really? T ell me something about your College Entrance Examination!Which univ ersity are you admitted to?” I typed.“Well, I’m not, as u said.I’m ~3~in middle school~” he typed incoherently with a blushed face while I was embarrassed, too.He was younger than me.Afterwards I told him the expression of “senior” and “junior”, he learned it fast and modestly and turned to admire me.Through weekly chat, our friendship gradually became brotherhood.He called me “older bro”！At first sight, I was stunned but I accepted it quickly and I treated him like my younger bro too, talking about our school life，how to get terms with teachers, how to schedule our study etc.However, he didn’t suspect my real gender.I felt cornered because I didn’t know whether I should tell him.Once hecomplained to me that his desk mate was noisy in class, which bothered his study.Naturally I typed: “My desk mate is also noisy, he keeps talking……” “Your desk mate is a boy?”“Yeah……”“You’re so great to have a male desk-mate!”I got wordless to say yes or no then.Even at that time he didn’t doubt that I was a boy.But I couldn’t bear the flow of guilty as time went by so that I told him “I am a girl” word by word one night.This time, he was wordless for nearly a month, turning a blind eye to my apologies.Then I typed to him: “You didn’t find that just because I am that kind o f girl, who is more like a boy.You can still call me big brother if u like.”He finally accepted: “I just don’t know how to face u, but later on I realized that it doesn’t matter what to call u or if you are a liar or not, what matters is you are you.It’s your right to hide your gender.”Our brotherhood lasts till now.We two are all post-90’s.It’s true that we are growing up with the fictitious Internet, but through which we can still communicate heart and soul.We are nothing but ordinary, like any other generations.Every generation has its characteristics, which is shaped by the riverbed of era, unchangeable for us as a drop of water billowing in the historical river.The Internet is part of the riverbed which can be served as a sifter.It sifts all the netizens and select the Spiderman who is adept on the networking.We post-90’s are just ordinary part of the netizens.We are happened to be the one who sprouts with the Internet’s springing up;we are happened to count the majority of the netizens nowadays, thus making us get more used to using the net to “catch” what we need like a Spiderman.Tagged with the word “net”, I don’t think itnegative or positive.What I concern is our society is supposed to treat us as common as other generations.We need more “natural space” if we are expected to be the Spiderman.Giving too much attention will bother one behaving oneself.Only by giving more ordinary space, can we possibly grow mature enough to be a Spiderman who can net a huge information web, wisdom web and relationship web.Thank you!第二篇：1st periodUnit 1 My name’s Gina(The 1st period Section A 1a—1c)Teaching aims（教学目标）1．学会问候他人2．学会如何做自我介绍, 认识新朋友，并正确称呼他们的英文名字 3．从对话中学会获取更多他人的基本信息 5．初步学会使用部分形容词性物主代词 Language points（语言点）1．要求掌握以下句式：（1）—What’s your name?—My name is…（2）—Hello!I’m Mary.—Hi, Mary!I’m Jim.Nice to meet you.（3）what’s ＝ what isI’m ＝ I amname’s ＝ name is 2．要求掌握以下词汇：（1）生词：name, clock, am, nice, meet, what, hello（2）人称代词和形容词性物主代词：I, you, my, your, his, her（上述数词和部分形容词性物主代词本应在第二和第三课时中出现，但可以在第一课时中非正式出现，给学生初步的印象，为后面的学习作铺垫。

21年人文英语3 单元3作文

21年人文英语3 单元3作文In the fast-paced and constantly evolving world of the 21st century, perseverance stands out as a valuable trait that is often overlooked in the pursuit of instant gratification and success. The third unit of Humanities English 3, focusing on the theme of perseverance, explores the significance of this quality in overcoming challenges and achieving goals.Perseverance is the ability to continue strivingtowards a goal despite difficulties or failures. It is the driving force that propels us forward when faced with obstacles and setbacks. In the context of personal development and growth, perseverance plays a pivotal rolein shaping our character and determining our success.One of the key aspects of perseverance is resilience. Resilience refers to the ability to recover quickly from difficulties or changes in life. When faced with challenges, perseverant individuals tend to view them as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than as obstacles that hinder their progress. They embrace failure as a naturalpart of the process and use it as a stepping stone to success.Moreover, perseverance cultivates a sense of purpose and direction. When we persevere, we are more likely to set clear and meaningful goals for ourselves. These goals provide us with a sense of direction and keep us focused on what is important. With a strong sense of purpose, we are able to stay motivated and committed to our goals, even when faced with adversity.Additionally, perseverance fosters a positive mindset. Perseverant individuals tend to have a more optimistic and adaptive attitude towards life. They believe that with effort and dedication, they can overcome any challenge and achieve their dreams. This mindset helps them stay positive and motivated, even in the face of adversity.However, perseverance does not come easily. It requires a significant amount of effort, dedication, and discipline. It involves staying committed to our goals, even when faced with temptations or distractions. It means pushing through the tough times and never giving up, no matter howdifficult the journey may be.In conclusion, perseverance is a powerful trait that can help us overcome challenges and achieve our goals. It fosters resilience, purpose, and a positive mindset. While it requires effort and dedication, the rewards of perseverance are immense. As we navigate the complexities of the 21st century, let us remember the importance of perseverance and embrace it as a key to our success.**面对挑战时的坚持之力**在21世纪这个快节奏且不断变化的世界中，坚持往往被视为一种宝贵的品质，尽管在追求即时满足和成功的道路上，它常常被人们忽视。

All the fame, success were nothing, what he had was just his faith and strong will. Through this experience, he cherished life and the world more. He is not only a successful musican,but also brings sunshine to human especial those who are in the same adversity.4). Background InformationA). Stevie Wonder (1950- )Pop star Stevie Wonder, who was born blind, has been a recording artist since the age of ten.His music and songs reflect his ability to draw on diverse themes and a rich variety of musical ideas and techniques. His biggest hits include “Ebony & Ivory” (1982) and “I Just Call to Say I Love You” (1984), which won an Academy Award as best original song.B). rock and roll, rap music, or pop music, country musicRock and roll is a type of popular music, marked by a steady beat and a strong rhythm, which is often played at high volume. Rock music combines elements of blues, country and gospel and its popularity can be traced to the mid-1950s when Elvis Presley was its most successful performer. By the early 1960s, rock and roll, which often expressed a rebellious attitude towards society, became the most popular form of music for teenagers and such British groups as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were influential performers. Since the 1960s, rock and roll has gained worldwide popularity not only among teens, but also among persons of college age and older.2. Text OrganizationPart I.

Once they introduce a main idea (discussed in Unit Two), they will then support it with examples, facts and statistic reasons and experiences of their own or of others.

Unit1 赞美之词的魔力一次，一位百老汇喜剧演员做了一个噩梦：他梦见自己在一个座无虚席的剧场里讲故事、唱歌，数以千计的人们看着他—但是没有人笑或拍手。

“即使一个星期能赚10万美元，”他说，“那也像人间地狱一般。

”不仅演员需要掌声，没有赞扬和鼓励，任何人都会失去信心。

因此，我们都有着双重需求：被别人称赞以及懂得如何去称赞别人。

说赞美的话是有技巧的，有正确的说法。

比如，因为某些显而易见的成就而去表扬一个人，这不是真正的赞扬。

你得运用辨别力和创造力。

“您今晚的演讲很精彩、很有说服力，”一次，一位和蔼可亲的女士对一位商人说，“我禁不住想，您肯定也能当一名出色的律师。

”听到这意外的溢美之词，那位商人像个男生般地脸红了。

无论声名显赫还是默默无闻，没有一个人会对真诚的赞赏无动于衷。

耶鲁著名的英语教授威廉·里昂·费尔普斯讲述道:“一个炎热的夏日，我走进一家拥挤的饭馆吃中饭。

服务员递给我菜单时，我说，‘今天厨房里的小伙子们肯定在受罪！’服务员惊讶地看着我说：‘来这儿的人都抱怨菜的味道不好，对服务评头论足，还埋怨太闷热。

19年了，你是第一个对后面厨房里的厨师们表示同情的人。

’人们所需要的，”费尔普斯下结论道，“是作为人能得到一点点关注。

”在那种关注中，真诚是至关重要的。

当劳作了一天的男人回家时看见孩子们将脸贴在窗上、张望着等待他，他也许会感到这种无声而珍贵的语言如甘露一般涤荡了他的心灵。

孩子们尤其渴望鼓励。

童年时如果得不到善意的赞赏，将会危及性格的发展。

一位年轻妈妈向A·W·比文牧师讲述了一件让人伤心的事：“我的小女儿常常不听话，我不得不批评她。

但是有一天，她特别乖，没有做一件会挨批评的事。

当天晚上，我给她盖好被子、准备下楼时，听见她在抽泣。

我走回去，发现她把头埋在枕头里。

她一边呜咽一边问：‘难道我今天还不够乖吗？’”“那个问题，”那位妈妈说，“像把刀一样刺痛了我。

当她做错事时，我总是急于纠正，可是当她努力表现得好些时，我却没有注意。

心态——人生的选择之一Text unit1 鲍勃•哈里斯快乐的人并不是处于某种环境中的人, 而是具有某种心态的人。

——休•唐斯我和妻子特里在12月买了一辆新车。

尽管我们有机票可以从加州飞到休斯敦和她的家人一起过圣诞节，但我们还是决定开车去得州以磨合新车。

我们把东西装进汽车，离家去和外婆一起度过美妙的一周。

我们过得很愉快，在外婆家一直待到最后一分钟。

回来时，我们需要赶快到家，所以，我们便一路不停地行驶——一个人开车，另一个人睡觉。

在大雨中行驶了几个小时后，我们在深夜时到了家。

我们累坏了，只想冲个热水澡就爬上柔软的床去睡觉。

我感觉到无论我们有多累,我们都应该当晚把车上的东西卸下来，但特里只想赶快洗个澡就上床睡觉,所以我们决定等到早晨再卸车。

早晨7点钟的时候，我们恢复了精力，起床后准备卸车。

当我们打开前门时，私家车道上的车却不见了！特里和我面面相觑,回头再看车道,又彼此对视。

然后，特里问了一个奇妙的问题：“哟，你把车停哪儿啦?”我笑着回答：“就停在车道上。

”这时我们虽然知道我们停车的地方了，但我们还是走到外边，希望那辆车也许奇迹般地倒出了车道，停在了路缘边，但它没有。

震惊之余，我们报了警并提交了一份据说会启动我们的高科技追踪系统的报告。

为了保险起见，我又给追踪系统公司打了电话。

他们保证说在两小时内他们有98%的概率找回汽车。

两小时后，我又打电话问：“我的汽车在哪里?”“我们还没有找到,哈利斯先生,但是在4小时内我们有94%的找回率。

”又过去了两个小时。

我再次打电话问：“我的汽车在哪里?”他们再次回答说：“我们还没有找到，但在8小时内我们有90%的找回率。

”这时我告诉他们：“当我处于极小概率时，你的这些百分比对我毫无意义，所以在你们找到车时给我打电话吧。

”那天晚些时候，电视里播放了一条商业广告，一个汽车制造商在问：“你难道不想在你的车道上中有这样一辆车吗?”我回应道：“当然想!我昨天就有一辆。

”随着一天的时间慢慢流逝，特里变得越来越烦躁不安，因为她越来越多地想起放在车上的东西——我们的结婚照相簿、无法补偿的前几代人的家庭照、衣服、全套照相设备、我的钱包和我们的支票簿，这些还仅仅是列举的几项而已。
