Unit 5 To Lie or Not to Lie—The Doctor’s DilemmaSissela BokTeacher: xxxCourse:College English (Intensive Reading Book 4)Students: Sophomores of non-English majors in the 2nd semester.Teaching Time: 4 hoursTeaching Objectives: By the end of the lesson, the students should be able to1. grasp the text content, text structure, basic vocabularies and required grammar points of the section.2. know the reading strategy of guessing new words3. grasp the main idea and structure of the text.4. speak out their opinions on whether a doctor should be honest or not to a patient on the patient’s true disease .Important Points:suffixes-----ary, -ory compound adjectives: n.+a. also, as well, too Difficult Points: the use of subordinate clausesTeaching Approaches: Communicative Teaching ApproachGrammar-translation MethodTask-Based Language TeachingTeaching Procedures:I. Pre-reading ActivitiesStep 1. Greetings and introductory remarksGood afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Nice to meet all of you here today. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is xxx, I graduated from xxx last June as a post graduate specializing in translation. In my spare time, I like reading, singing and playing badminton. I’m easygoing, outgoing and optimistic. And I’m also armed with another quality: honesty.When I was in primary school, I learnt the story of “the wolf is coming” which tells me that to lie may be dangerous. In addition, I have been told time and time again by both our parents and teachers that honesty is the best policy. To my mind, honesty, as a traditional Chinese virtue, is of great significance even in today’s society. Then inyour opinion,Step 2. Warm-up questions1. Is it ever right to tell a lie? Have you ever lied to anyone for good purposes?2. If there were something unpleasant happened to you, let’s say, one of your friends knew that you failed in the English examination just before the spring festival, would you want to be told the truth or kept in the dark?(I want to be to the truth, so that I can make plans about the revisions as early as possible and pass it next time. If I were kept in the dark, I would always think about it and in the end when it it time for the make-up test, I might fail again for I did no preparation.)3. Suppose you were a doctor, and now you were faced with a patient who is seriously ill, would you lie to him? Why? (No, it’s better to have a bad ending than worrying all the time without knowing the truth. After informing the patient of the true condition, I’ll try my best to console him and help him)4. Suppose you were the patient and went to see a doctor, do you want to be told the truth about your disease? Why? (Yes, I could make decisions about the end of my life.)Different people may hold different views when answering these questions. In reality, when treating seriously ill patients, many doctors think that it is best not to tell them the truth about their condition. These doctors sincerely believe that they have good reason to tell lies for the patients’ benefits. However, there are still some people holding contrary ideas. The American author, Sissela Bok is among them.Today we’ll study unit 5To Lie or Not to Lie—The Doctor’s Dilemma, written by Sissela Bok.In this article, she takes a different view on the issue.She gives several reasons why patients, esp. those who are dying should be told the truth. She also discusses the great harm doctors’ lies do not only to their patients, but also to the doctors themselves and to the entire medical profession.Step 3. Group workDivide the class into 2 groups. And let the Ss do the silent reading on the text (Group 1) Doctors’ reasons for telling lies(Group 2) The authors’s reasons why patients should be told the truth.Now boys and girls, please fall into 2 groups. Group 1, please go over paragraph1-5and find out why some doctors lie to their seriously ill patients. Group 2, please go over paragraph 6-9 looking for the authors’ reasons why patients should be told the truth. Try to finish it within 5 minutes.II. While-reading ActivitiesStep1.Read the paragraph to get a general idea. (by the teacher, or one student or the whole class)Step 2.Text-analysisThe teacher analyzes the text in details by explaining words and expressions, sentence structure; by asking questions, paraphrasing and translating.Lines 1-51.what is the doctor’s purpose in treating his patient?To cure illness, speed recovery, save life and prolong life as long as possible.2.can a doctor’s l ie benefit a patient?We’ll find the answer in the text.3.should people tell the truth if they’ve promised to keep it a secret?In most cases, no. they should uphold the promise of secrecy.4.how can lies do good to the need to expose corruption?They can prevent the untimely alerting of the target, perhaps government officials, and avoid adding difficulty to uncovering their wrong doings.5.do you agree that the requirements of honesty may be dwarfed by greater needs inmedicine, law and government for good purposes?Lines 6-121.what is a routine physical checkup?2.if you were this 46-year-old patient, what would you like the doctor to tell you?I want the doctor to tell me the truth because…I don’t want…3.if you were the doctor, would you tell the truth?Lines 13-221.what is a self-serving lie?It is a lie which serves for the teller’s own interest. For example, a doctor exaggerates the seriousness of the illness so that he can charge more.2.try to paraphrase the sentence “Ours is a profession…’as far as possible d o noharm’”3.we doctors have been following a principle that as far as we can we must avoiddoing any harm to our patients. We should not tell the truth regardless ofconsequences.Lines 23-271.what is a doctor’s deceptive practice?2.what is a placebo?3.what d oes “sound more encouraging than facts warrant” mean?4.how does a doctor distort grave news?5.how do these deceptive practices work on the patients?Lines 28-351.how do you understand “the illusory nature…be documented.”2.what does the author mean by “feeling betrayed”?3.how is information humanely conveyed?Lines 36-461.what does “advocates of benevolent deception” mean?2.what is “the autonomy of patients”?3.what are “informed choices”?4.what does “choose to be a patient in the first place” mean?5.how do you underst and “we are becoming…”?6.what does “kept in the dark”mean?Lines 47-521.what is the difference between integrity and credibility?2.how do you understand “the suspicion…”3.what does “it”refer to in “it contributes to…”?4.what are the lawsuits related to?5.what is “defensive medicine”?6.how can lies injure the entire medical profession?Lines 53-601.what is “bills of rights”?2.what are included in the patients’ bills of rights?3.what maybe alternatives for treatment?4.what does”t he most eloquent bill of rights” mean?Lines 61-681.what issue is there urgent need to debate openly?2.whom do “practitioners” refer to?3.how do you understand “serious consequences seem avoidable only throughdeception”?4.whom does “the public” refer to?5.how do you understand “such practices are pec uliarly likely to become deeplyrooted”?Step 3.The teacher asks Ss to analyze the structure of the text and make a summary orally with reference to the following questions:1. What is the doctor’s dilemma?2. What do many doctors choose to do?3. What are the doctors’ reasons for telling lies?4. What are some of the disadvantages of a doctor’s lying?5. What is the author’s attitude toward this issue? Why?Step 4.The teacher summarizes the structure and the main idea of the text.III. Post-reading Activities (Assignments)Task 1.

Let the Ss further discuss the questions on the topic related to the text and a debate may well be held after the students’ preparation.。

How to read fiction
3. CHARACTERS
The persons who initiate or go through the events of the plot. Their qualities emerge and your understanding of them develops as the story progresses.
How to read fiction
Short Stories
Characteristics
Because they are concise, writers depend on the reader bringing personal experiences and prior knowledge to the story.
Short Stories
Characteristics
How to read fiction
Short — Can usually be read in one sitting. Concise — Information offered in the story is relevant to the tale being told. This is unlike a novel, where the story can diverge from the main plot. Usually tries to leave behind a single impression or effect. That means the story is, though not always, built around one character, place, idea, or act.

What are some of the things that come to your mind when we talk about healthy lifestyles?Make a list of healthy lifestyles and share your answers with your group members.Healthy Lifestylesa. balancing study and playb. doing physical exercise every dayc.d.⋯▇Answers for reference:1. A sample answer:As a university student, I live a simple and plain life. I get up early in the morning and thenattend classes. In the late afternoon I play basketball or football. If I do not have classes during the day, I usually go to the library to do some reading or go to the computer center to search for some information related to my studies. In the evening I review or preview my lessons either in the classroom or in the dormitory. During weekends I sometimes go shopping or go to a movie with my classmates.2. A possible answer:Yes. This saying tells us that saving money is as good as earning it. Saving is not only a good habit but also an important step on the way to financial well-being, both in the short term and in the long run. In the short term, it gives us an emergency cushion in the event that an unforeseen, large and urgent expense arises. In the long term, a consistent pattern of savingcan enable us to accomplish our financial goals, such as financing a college education, a home purchase, or a retirement.

Instead, they should break away from the “f ollowing the herd ”mentality and be extraordinarily innovative.About Jack Kerouac (1922-1969): a US writer who was a leading figure of the1950s Beat Generation. His most famous novel is On the Road 《( 在路上》) , which describes the adventures of two friends as they travel across the United States.Margaret Mead⊙We are living beyond our means. As a people we have developed a lifestyle that is draining theearth of its priceless and irreplaceable resources without regard for the future of our children and people all around the world.—Margaret MeadInterpretation:In this quote, Margaret Mead rightly points out that the American way of life has given rise to a wasteful society and that it is doing a lot of harm to the earth and hence to mankind as a whole. Ifwe do not make changes in our lifestyles today, our children are doomed to suffer from lack of irreplaceable resources in the future.About Margaret Mead (1901-1978): a US anthropologist, who studied the ways in which parentson the islands of Samoa, Bali, and New Guineas taught their children. She also tried to discover whether males and females are born with the differences in behaviour that they show, or whether they lean to behave differently as they grow up in a particular society.Charlie Chaplin⊙The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.—Charlie ChaplinInterpretation:In this quote, Chaplin points out the danger of seeking luxuries. Luxuries are not necessities. Many people work hard to seek luxuries in life —they purchase luxury goods and services and always long for possessions that they do not necessarily need. In doing so, they have gradually become slaves to those luxuries. They may feel “a bundance”for a while but they can never enjoy ever-lasting happiness, and their souls can never be uplifted. Moreover, those who are used to luxuries may live beyond their means and get into debt, and debt robs a man of his self-respect. Indeed, it is sad to see a person indulge in luxuries and possessions.About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977): a British actor and director who worked mainly in the USin humorous silent films during the 1920s. He usually appeared as a humorous character who hada small moustache, a bowler hat, and a walking stick, and who walked in a funny way with thebacks of his feet together and his toes pointing out to the sides.Samuel Johnson⊙Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.—Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:Here Samuel Johnson advises us to be thrifty or economical with the use of our resources.Frugality is a virtue while extravagance is a sin. One can never become rich if one lives aspendthrift lifestyle, but anyone can feel that he is rich enough if he or she carefully manages hisor her money and other resources.About Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a British critic and dictionary writer. He is famous for hisDictionary of the English Language (1755), the first comprehensive dictionary of the Englishlanguage ever published. He was considered an excellent conversationalist ( 善于辞令的人). Hisintelligent, amusing, and interesting words are still widely quoted today.Step III Watching and DiscussionConfessions of a Shopaholic is a 2009 American romantic comedy film based on the Shopaholicseries of novels by Sophie Kinsella.Watch the following video clip Confessio“n s of a Shopaholic ” and do the tasks that follow:：“C onfessions of a Shopaholic.wmv ”插入视频片段6.What makes shopping a beautiful experience, according to Rebecca?the sheen of silk draped across a mannequin;.the smell of new Italian leather shoes;the rush you feel when you swipe your card.

大学英语(全新版)第四册电子教案Unit Four The Multicultural SocietyI. Teaching objectivesStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea( Man changes nature in order to live.However, man must also be careful not to disregard the law of nature.) and structure of the text ( A comparison-and-contrast analysis of the two invasions);2.practice their critical thinking ability through in-depthdiscussions in issues mentioned in the text;3.master key language points and grammatical structures in thetext;4.conduct a series of reading, listening , speaking and writingactivities related to the theme of the unit.II. Text AnalysisPeople tend to worship things printed in black and white. Yet we would like to cultivate in our students the ability to think critically. They should understand that not everything they read is true. At the same time they need to be able to , and they should be able to, justify their disbelief.Take Question 1 in the after-text Points for discussion forexample. Is Euro-centeredness really phasing out ? The economic and political power still rests with the whites, not the Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanics , or Native Americans. Has white mainstream America really given up on policing the world? The 9/11/2001 event was tragic and should not have happened, but it does show that there are groups strong opposed to what they see as the interference of America and the West in affairs beyond their borders.Let’s look at Question 2. According to the author, Los Angeles is a symbol of the future. Yet he hadn’t anticipated the Los Angeles riots of 1992. (The essay was written before they took place.) During the riots, African Americans attacked Asian Americans, especially Korean Americans. Can the Los Angeles of 1992 stand for racial harmony?Now Question 3. Many Westerners, idea of the non- Western world is dated. However , nowadays the non-Western world, especially Asia, is developing at a rapid pace. People here have acquired quite a strong sense of time. A good case in point: if you observe the subway patrons in Hong Kong, Tokyo or Shanghai, they walk as fast as commuters in major cities in the West.In a word, our students must realize that there are alwaysdifferent perspectives.II.

A Friend in NeedSomerset Maugham1 For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen、I do not know very much about them、I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right、I think they must have small insight or great vanity、For my own part I find that the longer I know people the more they puzzle me、--------------------------------------------------------------------------------患难之交萨默塞特·毛姆三十年来,我一直研究我的人类同胞,但至今了解不多。
每当有人跟我说她对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候,我就耸耸肩。
我想这种人不就是无知,就就是自大。
拿我自己来说,我发现,认识一个人的时间越长,我就越感到困惑。
2 These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe、He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many years、I knew him very little, but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise、Unless I had heard the story from his own lips, I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action、It was more startling because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type、Here if ever was a man all of a piece、He was a tiny little fellow, not much more than five feet four in height, and very slender, with white hair, a red face much wrinkled, and blue eyes、I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him、He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station、--------------------------------------------------------------------------------我产生这些想法,就是因为我在今天早上的报纸上瞧到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。
