children from a friend’s house, where the letter carrier
takes his van up and down every driveway on a street.
Detailed Reading
8 We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking. Sometimes it’s almost ludicrous. The other day I was waiting to bring home one of my children from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside a post office, and a man about my age popped out and dashed inside. He was in the post office for about three or four minutes, and then came out, got in the car and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do, so I paced it off) to the general store next door.
mobility, rugged individualism and masculine force.
Text Analysis Structural Analysis
“Out of Step” is an exposition that presents the absurdity of the Americans’ dependence on cars. The Americans, being so accustomed to using cars, have almost forgotten the existence of their legs. Wherever they go, they go in their cars. As a result, pedestrian facilities are neglected in city planning or rejected by the inhabitants.

●Global Reading✧Structural Analysis of the TextThis text is a piece of narrative writing, in which the author tells about her experience during the first year at university, which at first seems to be very awkward but turns out to be on the right track at last.In the text, three incidents are narrated by the author: 1) the first is about her going into the wrong classroom; 2) the second is about her falling down in the cafeteria; 3) the last is about her witnessing the same embarrassing fall happening to someone admired by her.Despite the differences between these three incidents, they actually revolve around one theme: The growth of the author, who is able to draw lessons from the mistakes she has made and finally succeeds in adjusting herself to the college life.✧Rhetorical Features of the TextDetailed descriptions of events are everywhere to be seen in this text, which is a dominant feature of narrative writing. Since the description of an event will involve a lot of movements or actions, compound sentences and compound-complex sentences have been used frequently in the text.For examples:I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus anyway when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot, wanting nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. (Paragraph 1)I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious note-taking, and cursing under my breath. (Paragraph 5)●Detailed Reading✧Questions1. Why did the author have the impression that “everyone on campus was watching me”? (Paragraph 1)→The author, being over-sensitive, was uneasy with her identity as a freshman. She thought a new student would attract others’ attention, as what she did or said was liable to be too naïve to be right. That feeling is a typical symptom of lacking in self-confidence.2. Why did the author exclaim “What confidence, what reserve, what muscles!” when she saw the football player? (Paragraph 2)→College life was a new experience to the author. That she marveled at the real football player showed her excitement about her new life. And more importantly, her response revealed her admiration of an image which was almost exactly the opposite of her own. This admiration would later become the motivation of her change.3. How many questions are used in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5? Why does the author raise these→Four elliptical questions are used in these paragraphs. Being a freshman, the author was not well acquainted with campus life. She was at a loss as to what to do when something unexpected happened. These questions are used to show her bewilderment.4. Why did she dine on junk food for the next three days? (Paragraphs 6-8)→Because she thought she had become the laughing-stock on campus. She couldn’t stand being laughed at by all the students when she turned up in the cafeteria.5. What was the key lesson Evelyn Herald learned during her first few weeks in college? (Paragraphs 10-14)→The key lesson she learned during her first few weeks in college was that she realized she didn’t have to pay too much attention to what other people were thinking about her. The fresh campus life was her big chance to do her own things and be her own person. She might well relax herself and stop worrying about making mistakes because people all grow by trial and error.✧Group discussion: What lessons have you learned from Evelyn’s experiences after readingthe article “Fresh Start”? Share the experiences when you first came to college.✧Words and ExpressionsParagraph 1distinct a.clearly seen, heard, felt, understood, etc.; noticeablee.g. Now that the boss was no longer present, there was a distinct change in her attitude.The children have distinct memories of their grandfather in his last days.Comparison: distinct & distinctivedistinct: Something that is distinct can clearly be seen, heard, smelled, etc.e.g. There is a distinct smell of beer in this room.distinctive: It means having a special quality, character, or appearance that is different and easy to recognize.e.g. Beer has a very distinctive smell; it’s quite distinct from the smell of wine.Practice:One of the _________ features of this book is its __________ illustrations.本书特点之一就是具有清楚明了的图解。

I will follow my heart , no matter what happens.”Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) According to Alex Haley, why does many a young man want to be a writer?Because they think that being a writer can bring them wealth and fame.2) Does writing mean glory and wealth in the author’s opinion?No. The author thinks that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. Only a few can succeed after long periods of neglect and poverty.3) What was the author’s life in Greenwich Village like?His life in Greenwich Village was very poor. He barely made enough to eat.4) Did he ever doubt his ability to write? Why or why not?Yes.

(Para. 2)Compared with those lucky writers who have become famous, thousands of people who devote themselves to writing are never given recognition as successful writers.2) Next time I make a sale. (Para. 6)Considering the rather difficult circumstances the author was in, it is easy to see that there was a degree of irony and self-sarcasm when he promised his friend that he would pay back the money next time he made a sale, for it was something that had not happened before and would not be very likely to happen in the near future, thus pushing the repayment of the debt into the remote future.3) What’s more, I could write on the side. (Para. 8)More importantly, I could take writing as a part-time job.4) There’s everything you’ve made of yourself so far. (Para. 10)The two cans of sardines and 18 cents are all you have.5) Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant.

Audiovisual SupplementWatch the movie clip and answer the following questions.Script:Narrator: A German factory builds one of the world‘s most famous cars. The 911 is the icon of the sports car industry. It‘s the shape, it‘s the engine in the back, it‘s the feel it gives you, it‘s the emotion. The factory runs like a precision machine, building hundreds of engines a day. The product and our manufacturing process are one unit, and that‘s our secret of success. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build 16 versions of the Porsche 911, including the 911 GT3.Questions:1. Where is the engine of the 911?In the back of the car.2. What‘s the secret of success of that factory?The product and their manufacturing process are one unit. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build the Porsche 911. And the factory runs like a precision machine.II. Cultural Background1. Car culture has been a major niche lifestyle in America.2. In the 1950s, the post-war boom produced a generation of teenagers with enough income to buy their own cars. These cars became so much more than just modes of transportation. They were reflections of a lifestyle. The ability to tune and soup-up muscle cars gave average Joes the opportunity to show off their power, their speed and their style in a way that personified the car as character.3. Like Granny in Jan and Dean's 1964 song ―The Little Old Lady from Pasadena,‖ we can't keep our foot off the accelerator.4. We are crazy about our cars —and always have been. ―The American,‖William Faulkner lamented in 1948, ―really loves nothing but his automobile.‖5. We dream of cars as we dream of lovers.6. Americans have always cherished personal freedom and mobility, rugged individualism and masculine force.Section Two Global ReadingI．Text AnalysisMain Idea―Out of Step‖ is an exposition that presents the absurdity of the Americans‘ dependence on cars. The Americans, being so accustomed to using cars, have almost forgotten the existence of their legs. Wherever they go, they go in their cars. As a result, pedestrian facilities are neglected in city planning or rejected by the inhabitants.II. Structural AnalysisParagraph 1-6 The writer introduces his idea with an anecdote.Paragraphs 7-13 In this part, the author presents the fact that the Americans are habituated to using cars for everything. Paragraphs 14-20 In this part, the author explains that pedestrian facilities are neglected or discarded.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1Out of StepBill Bryson1After living in England for 20 years, my wife and I decided to move back to the United States. We wanted to live in a town small enough that we could walk to the business district, and settled on Hanover, N.H., a typical New England town —pleasant, sedate and compact. It has a broad central green surrounded by the venerable buildings of Dartmouth College, an old-fashioned Main Street and leafy residential neighborhoods.2It is, in short, an agreeable, easy place to go about one‘s business on foot, and yet as far as I can tell, virtually no one does.3Nearly every day, I walk to the post office or library or bookstore, and sometimes, if I am feeling particularly debonair, I stop at Rosey Jekes Caféfor a cappuccino. Occasionally, in the evenings, my wife and I stroll up to the Nugget Theatre for a movie or to Murphy‘s on the Green for a beer, I wouldn‘t dream of going to any of these places by car. People have gotten used to my eccentric behavior, but in the early days acquaintances would often pull up to the curb and ask if I wanted a ride.4―I‘m going your way,‖ they would insist when I politely declined. ―Really, it‘s no bother.‖5―Honestly, I enjoy walking.‖6―Well, if you‘re sure,‖ they would say and depart reluctantly, even guiltily, as if leaving the scene of an accident without giving their name.7In the United States we have become so habituated to using the car for everything that it doesn‘t occur to us to unfurl our legs and see what those lower limbs can do. We have reached an age where college students expect to drive between classes, where parents will drive three blocks to pick up their children from a friend‘s house, where the letter carrier takes his van up and down every driveway on a street.8We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking. Sometimes it‘s almost ludicrous. The other day I was waiting to bring home one of my children from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside a post office, and a man about my age popped out and dashed inside. He was in the post office for about three or four minutes, and then came out, got in the car and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do, so I paced it off) to the general store6 next door.9And the thing is, this man looked really fit. I‘m sure he jogs extravagant distances and plays squash and does all kinds of healthful things, but I am just as sure that he drives to each of these undertakings.10An acquaintance of ours was complaining the other day about the difficulty of finding a place to park outside the local gymnasium. She goes there several times a week to walk on a treadmill. The gymnasium is, at most, a six-minute walk from her front door.11I asked her why she didn‘t walk to the gym and do six minutes less on the treadmill.12She looked at me as if I were tragically simple-minded and said, ―But I have a program for the treadmill. It records my distance and speed and calorie burn rate, and I can adjust it for degree of difficulty.‖13I confess it had not occurred to me how thoughtlessly deficient nature is in this regard.14According to a concerned and faintly horrified 1997 editorial in the Boston Globe, the United States spent less than one percent of its transportation budget on facilities for pedestrians. Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much. Go to almost any suburb developed in the last 30 years, and you will not find a sidewalk anywhere. Often you won‘t find a single pedestrian crossing.15I had this brought home to me one summer when we were driving across Maine and stopped for coffee in one of those endless zones of shopping malls, motels, gas stations and fast-food places. I noticed there was a bookstore across the street, so I decided to skip coffee and head over.16Although the bookshop was no more than 70 or 80 feet away, I discovered that there was no way to cross on foot without dodging over six lanes of swiftly moving traffic. In the end, I had to get in our car and drive across.17At the time, it seemed ridiculous and exasperating, but afterward I realized that I was possibly the only person ever to have entertained the notion of negotiating that intersection on foot.18The fact is, we not only don‘t walk anywhere anymore in this country, we won‘t walk anywhere, and woe to anyone who tries to make us, as the city of Laconia, N.H., discovered. In the early 1970s, Laconia spent millions on a comprehensive urban renewal project, which included building a pedestrian mall to make shopping more pleasant. Esthetically it was a triumph —urban planners came from all over to coo and take photos--but commercially it was a disaster. Forced to walk onewhole block from a parking garage, shoppers abandoned downtown Laconia for suburban malls.19In 1994 Laconia dug up its pretty paving blocks, took away the tubs of geraniums and decorative trees, and brought back the cars. Now people can park right in front of the stores again, and downtown Laconia thrives anew.20And if that isn‘t sad. I don‘t know what is.II. Questions1)What kind of town is it? (Paragraph 1)It is a small, pleasant and agreeable town. The inhabitants are friendly and willing to help.But although the town is compact, few people go about on foot.2)What is considered the author‘s ―eccentric behavior‖? (Paragraph 3)Instead of riding a car, the author walks around the city, doing his shopping, going to themovies or visiting the café or bar. To people who are used to going everywhere in a car, he is an eccentric.3)Why would drivers ―depart reluctantly, even guiltily‖when their offer was declined?(Paragraphs 3-6)With cars becoming the basic essentials of their life, people are so habituated to using the car for everything. The scene of somebody walking around seemed so unusual to them that they would naturally show their concern to him. When their offer to give him a ride was declined, they were sorry for not being able to help him out.4) Why did the author say ―Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much‖? (Paragraph 14)When the author found that the newly planned suburbs totally overlooked pedestrian needs, he assumed there was no budget for pedestrian facilities at all. So he says he was surprised to learn that there actually was less than one percent of budget on it. Here the author writes with a touch of irony.5) Why did Laconia change its downtown pedestrian mall to one with parking lots? (Paragraphs18-19)Although the pedestrian mall was well decorated, shoppers were unwilling to walk to the stores from a parking garage. As a result, it was a commercial failure. The government had to compromise with the public preference.Class ActivityGroup discussion: What does the title mean?With the use of this title, the writer seems to suggest1. people no longer walk in America;2. the few people who do walk seem to be old-fashioned and ―eccentric‖.III.

Virtuous friends possess moral excellence and share a commitment to the good.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1 It’s necessary to review some classical views of friendship in order to acquire a better understanding of it.Two 2–5 According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship, which are respectively based on utility, pleasure and goodness. Friendship based on goodness is perfect and totally different from friendship based on utility or pleasure.Three 6 According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. In such friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate.Four 7 Virtuous friends are bound by moral excellence, which involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the authors intend to say by the italicised parts.1. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. (Para. 1)Since society lacks socially accepted criteria for what friendship is, a person may be described as a ―friend‖ in one context but may not be suitably called so in another.2. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. (Para. 4)It is believed that young people tend to regard pleasure as an essential element of friendship and thus base their friendship on pleasure.3. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. (Para. 5)It is not easy to establish true friendships because there is only a small number of such good men in the world and it takes time and effort to develop such friendships. That is why true friendships are rare.4. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. (Para. 7)When two people are true friends, each is like a mirror to the other, who can see what kind of a person he himself has proved to be and whether he has moral excellence or not.5. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life. (Para.7)We can find all the good qualities in virtuous friends and it is those qualities that make permanent friendship possible.

(Para. 6)He loved New York so much that he preferred to live nowhere else.2) The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds. (Para. 9)It was a luxurious watch, handsome and with small diamonds set on its lids. Judging by the watch, one might think that he had made a fortune in the West.3) When they came into this glare, each of them turned simultaneously to gaze upon the other’s face. (Para. 27)Each of them was eager to know what exactly the other looked like.4) Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman nose to a pug nose. (Para. 29) You are not Jimmy at all, because it is not possible for a man to change the shape of his nose so thoroughly within a matter of twenty years.5) Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and they want to have a chat with you. Going quietly with us, are you? That’s sensible. (Para. 30)The Chicago police informed us that you might have come to New York and they wanted us to stop and arrest you … It is wise of you not to resist.6) His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished. (Para. 31)He could not control his emotions when he found out the truth. His hand was trembling with fear and shock.Optional Classroom ActivitiesDivide the class into groups of fours and dramatize the story “After Twenty Years” by role-playing the story-teller (O.

Unit3Book2Text AIt is perhaps human nature to be drawn towards fame and wealth.Yet,as Alex Haley points out through his own experience,in order to become successful,one must learn to struggle in the Shadowland of dreams—a deep forest that can swallow up those who swing and hesitate.Only the determined stand a chance of making it.The Shadowland of DreamsAlex Haley1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’s a difference between“being a writer”and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the type-writer.“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”2The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune,there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty.I did.3When I left a20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend with whom I’d grown up in Henning,Tennessee. George found me my home—a cleaned-out storage room in the Greenwich Village apartment building where he worked as superintendent.It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.Immediately I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.4After a year or so,however,I still hadn’t received a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering,“What if?”I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.5Then one day I got a call that changed my life.It wasn’t an agent or editor offering a big contract.It was the opposite,a kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dream.On the phone was an old acquaintance from the Coast Guard,now stationed in San Francisco.He had once lent me a few bucks and liked to egg me about it.“When am I going to get the$15,Alex?”he teased.6“Next time I make a sale.”7“I have a better idea,”he said.“We need a new public-information assistant out here,and we’re paying$6,000a year.If you want it,you can have it.”8Six thousand a year!That was real money in1960.I could get a nice apartment,a used car, pay off debts and maybe save a little something.What’s more,I could write on the side.9As the dollars were dancing in my head,something cleared my senses.From deep inside a bull-headed resolution welled up.I had dreamed of being a writer—full time.And that’s what I was going to be.“Thanks,but no,”I heard myself saying.“I’m going to stick it out and write.”10Afterward,as I paced around my little room,I started to feel like a fool.Reaching into my cupboard—an orange crate nailed to the wall—I pulled out all that was there:two cans of sardines.Plunging my hands in my pockets,I came up with18cents.I took the cans and coins and jammed them into a crumpled paper bag.There Alex,I said to myself.There’s everything you’ve made of yourself so fa r.I’m not sure I ever felt so low.11I wish I could say things started getting better right away.But they didn’t.Thank goodness I had George to help me over the rough spots.12Through him I met other struggling artists,like Joe Delaney,a veteran painter from Knoxville,Tennessee.Often Joe lacked food money,so he’d visit a neighborhood butcher who would give him big bones with small pieces of meat,and a grocer who would hand him some withered vegetables.That’s all Joe needed to make his favorite soup.13Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant. Rumor had it that if a customer ordered steak,the singer would dash to a supermarket across the street to buy one.His name was Harry Belafonte.14People like Delaney and Belafonte became role models for me.I learned that you had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working at your dreams.That’s what living in the Shadowland is all about.15As I absorbed the lesson,I gradually began to sell my articles.I was writing about what many people were talking about then:civil rights,black Americans and Africa.Soon,like birdsflying south,my thoughts were drawn back to my childhood.In the silence of my room,I heard the voices of Grandma,Cousin Georgia,Aunt Plus,Aunt Liz and Aunt Till as they told stories about our family and slavery.16These were stories that black Americans had tended to avoid before,and so I mostly kept them to myself.But one day at lunch with editors of Reader’s Digest,I told these stories of my grandmother and aunts and cousins.I said that I had a dream to trace my family’s history to the first African brought to these shores in chains.I left that lunch with a contract that would help support my research and writing for nine years.17It was a long,slow climb out of the shadows.Yet in1970,17years after I left the Coast Guard,Roots was published.Instantly I had the kind of fame and success that few writers ever experienced.The shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.18For the first time I had money and open doors everywhere.The phone rang all the time with new friends and new deals.I packed up and moved to Los Angeles,where I could help in the making of the Roots TV mini-series.It was a confusing,exciting time,and in a sense,I was blinded by the light of my success.19Then one day,while unpacking,I came across a box filled with things I had owned years before in the Village.Inside was a brown paper bag.20I opened it,and there were two corroded sardine cans,a nickel,a dime and three pennies. Suddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.I could picture myself once again huddled over the typewriter in that cold,bleak,one-room apartment.And I said to myself,The things in this bag are part of my roots,too.I can’t ever forget that.21I sent them out to be framed.I keep that clear plastic case where I can see it every day.I can see it now above my office desk in Knoxville,along with the Pulitzer Prize,a portrait of nine Emmys awarded to the TV production of Roots,and the Spingarn medal—the NAACP’s highest honor.I’d be hard pressed to say which means the most to me.But only one reminds me of the courage and persistence it takes to stay the course in the Shadowland.22It’s a lesson anyone with a dream should learn.▇课文重点词汇Good Usage(Paras.1-2)Many a young personIn most casesdreaming of wealth and famekissed by fortunenever rewardedlong periods of neglect and povertyGood Usage(Para.3)had no prospects at allworked as superintendentIt didn’t even matter thatGood Usage(Paras.4-5)hadn’t received a breakbegan to doubt myselfbarely made enough to eatputting my dream to the testliving with uncertainty and fear of failureoffering a big contracta kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dreamegg me about itGood Usage(Paras.6-9)make a salepay off debtson the sidethe dollars were dancing in my headsomething cleared my sensesa bull-headed resolution welled upstick it outGood Usage(Para.10)paced around my little roomPlunging my hands in my pocketscame up withThere’s everything you’ve made of yourself so farfelt so lowGood Usage(Paras.11-12)Thank goodnesshelp me over the rough spotsGood Usage(Paras.13-14)Rumor had it thatbecame role models for memake sacrificesGood Usage(Paras.15-16)absorbed the lessonmy thoughts were drawn back to my childhoodtended to avoidmostly kept them to myselftrace my family’s history toGood Usage(Paras.17-18)a long,slow climb out of the shadowsThe shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.I had money and open doors everywherepacked upin a senseblinded by the light of my successGood Usage(Paras.19-20)came acrossSuddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.huddled overGood Usage(Paras.21-22)be hard pressed to sayreminds me of the courage and persistencestay the course in the Shadowlanda lesson anyone with a dream should learnKey Words and Expressions for Text Amany afml many〖正式〗a large number of许多e.g.1.Many a scientist has to work long hours alone in the laboratory and sacrifice a great dealin his or her personal life.2.I’ve sat here many a time and wondered what happened to her.我很多次坐在这里想：她发生了什么事？Usage:注意many a后接名词单数，谓语动词也需要保持一致。

1. American mothers have long believed that when it comes to washing out the mouths of naughty children, nothing beats Ivory Soap. 美国的妈妈们一直相信，如果要把那些小调皮鬼的嘴巴洗干净的话，没有什么能赛过象牙皂的了。
☺ 1) 这是一个多重复合句that 引导的宾语从句；宾语从句中又包含了一个由when 引导的状语从句。

如：When it comes to quality, this is first-rate. 谈到质量的话，这个是最好的。
2. And should you drop it into a tubful of cloudy, child-colored water, not to worry —it floats.如不慎把肥皂掉入浴缸的浑浊的水中，不用担心，它会自动浮出水面。
☺ 1) 这句话使用了虚拟语气，原句if you should drop 在虚拟语气中，如果条件从句有should, were, had那么if省略，句子改为倒装。
例句：Were she interested, I would telephone her. ( 正常结构为If she were interested...)如果她有兴趣，我就打电话告诉她。
Had it not been cold, I would have opened the window. (正常结构If it had not been cold,……) 如果当时不是天太冷，我就把窗户打开了。

To succeed, we should have faith in ourselves in the first place. When we trust ourselves, we are more likely to fully develop our potential. Moreover, only when we have self-trust can we have the courage to place due trust in other people, which is necessary in the world today because we cannot succeed without the support and encouragement of others.

I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any. — Mahatma Gandhi Interpretation: This quotation reveals Gandhi’s attitude towards cultural exchanges. He warmly welcomes the introduction of foreign cultures into his nation, but refuses to give up his own cultural identity or be carried away by them. Here, he compares his cultural origin to the ground he is standing on.

Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Theme-Related Writing▆ Do one of the following writing tasks after class.1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie from yourperspective.2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral values in the long run.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the cri tical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.Theme-Related WritingDo either one of the following two tasks after class.1.Based on Text A, write a passage about the different ways different generations handle male-female relationships. The following hints may be of some help.1) “our” parents’ generation (details mainly found in Para. 8);2) “my” generation (details mainly found in Paras. 3–7);3) the younger generation (details mainly found in Paras. 9–11).2.Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love and life?”▆Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words)▆Sample Essay Two:What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities —Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China NormalUniversity. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.
