A soft-eyed seal and her baby stared at us as we walked up thebeach to the old campsite. Standing on the beach which looked grey andforbidding we stared out at the sea that surrounded the camp on two sides. Itmust have seemed like a terribly unfair punishment being forced to live on oneof the coldest, most unfriendly places on earth. No trees, no vegetables---only penguins and seals to eat.

人教选修十 Unit 1A Successful Failure

Words and expressions explained 1 ... almost blocking out the memories of happier times. 2 Just as I am about to become self-pitying 3 ... must have mourned this unexpected end…
1 ... almost blocking out the memories of happier times.
The expression to block out here is used in an idiomatic way. The verb literally means to stop light reaching a place but it is used in this context to mean to stop remembering things.
2 Just as I am about to become selfpitying, the door to our shelter opens and a blast of cold air tears through the hut. This is a compound word that means to feel sorry for oneself and in the story Perce is about to feel very sorry for himself because of the desperate situation they are in.

新人教选修10Unit1Nothingventured,nothinggained-UsinglanReading and Writing Optimism helped us persevere.While listening, try to get the general idea of the passage.It tells us the problems the men had to face on the island and how they overcame them and they were rescued at last.1 Answer these questions after reading the passage.1 ) What kind of problems did the men have to face on Elephant Island?2 ) What do you think was their greatest worry? How do you think they overcame this difficulty?3 ) Why did Shackleton encourage them to have celebrations? How do you think the celebrations helped?They had to face two kinds of problems: one was psychological and the other physical. The psychological one was to stay cheerful and not give way to despair. The physical problem was to stay fit despite a diet consisting only of meat.This meant that there were not enough vitamins or mineralsand the food wasthe same day after day.I think their greatest worry was not being rescued. They dealt with this by remaining cheerful, having musical evenings singing to the banjo and holding celebrations.Celebrations give people something to look forward to, create good relationships between the people who are celebrating and make everyone feel more cheerful. That is why Shackleton encouraged them.What lesson have you learned from the story?After reading the whole story, we know Shackleton and his men were people of great determination. They showed great perseverance in the face of difficulty. They never gave up and they succeeded at last. I was deeply touched by them and I will learn from them. No matter what difficulties we meet in future, never give up and struggle to achieve success in life.HomeworkWrite a review of Perce Blackborow's story for a newspaper. In a review you should: * give a summary of the story; * state what you liked / disliked about it and why;* consider whether the language helped the story or not; * explain whether or how it inspired you; * state whether you wouldencourage anybody else to read it and why.Language Points “Optimism helped us persevere.”1. stand的意义及引申: v. 站立, 忍受, 位在; “使(液体)保持静止不动；静置，沉淀” Let m e stand you a dinner. 让我请你一顿饭。

However he was also a talented composer and wrote many important ballades and rondos for the piano. His ambitious style of playing and composition influenced many other composers such as Debussy, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov. He died of tuberculosis (TB) when he was at the height of his fame.

人教版选修10课文译文一次成功的失败经历如果起初不成功，就要一次又一次地尝试。

——W·C·菲尔兹1914 年 8 月，珀斯·布莱克鲍罗参加了欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“持久号”轮船南极探险。

沙克尔顿是他那个时代最负盛名的探险家，加入他的探险活动被认为是一种巨大的荣耀。

现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。

1916 年 8 月 29 日慢慢地，我把头探出睡袋，向四周看了看。

一切都是灰色的：小屋里面看上去是灰色的，晨曦看上去是灰色的，燃油炉上噗噗作响的罐子也是灰色的。

同往常一样，气味中混合着汗液、海豹油脂和脏内衣的味道，几乎让人难以忍受。

我尝试着想一些快乐的事情：温暖和干爽的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光灿烂的日子、妈妈的脸庞，以及返家后得到的庆贺，因为我是试图横穿南极大陆的一次失败探险活动的成员之一，这种事以前还没有人做过。

正想到这儿，一条黑毛毯掉下来把我盖住，几乎把美好时光的记忆封闭住了。

一想到由于冻伤变黑而必须截去的腐烂的脚趾头，我就感到喘不过气来。

我们的境况让人绝望，谁也不清楚会不会活着回去。

也许好些年后，我们的尸体会被其他探险队所辨认并搜集起来。

正当我快要变得自我怜惜起来时，我们营棚的门开了，一股冷空气穿过营棚。

“把门关上!”我用一种自己都快辨认不出来的沙哑的嗓音嚷嚷道。

“坚持下去，珀斯。

不要变成另一个汤姆。

”一个声音在应答。

“我们又逮住了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了!”保佑弗兰克一吓尔德，他可是我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最好的人啦。

我怎么能像汤姆·奥德·利兹那样自私自利和脾气暴躁呢!我挣扎着下床，新的一天开始了。

当初宣布探险活动时，我才 20 岁，老梦想着要去冒险。

所以在 1914 年 7 月的一个早晨，我是怀着无比激动的心情读以下这则广告的：为危险之旅招募人手：工资低廉、寒冷无比、数月不见天日、无法确保安全返回。

如果成功，荣耀和报酬将会接踵而至。

当它与人的期望、目标结合起来后，它会发挥庞大的作用。

在所有的成功者中，有没有毅力，坚强不坚强，起着决定性的作用；而对失败者来说，缺乏毅力几乎是他们共同的弱点。

《金色教案》教学设计在单元课时划分上与课本保持一致，即“阅读课、知识课、运用课三课时/三课型划分”。

但在实际教学过程中，我们建议教师依据学生基础、教学条件、学校安排的因素，对课本、对《金色教案》教学设计重新划分课时、裁剪、拼接使用我们提供的材料，以便“物尽所用”，达到最佳教学成效。

教师也能够按照我们提出的“实际教学过程课时划分建议”进行教学。

”（达·芬奇）“在科学上没有平坦的大道，只有不畏劳累沿着陡峭山路攀登的人，才有期望达到光辉的顶点。

”（马克思）Pre-reading要求学生了解有关南极的事实，了解什么是“探险”。

教师补充：南极洲是地球上最遥远最孤独的大陆，它严酷的奇寒和常年不化的冰雪，长期以来拒人类于千里之外。

2. Who kept the diary? How did he join this expedition? Perce Blackborrow kept the diary. He secretly hid aboard the ship in a small cupboard. 3. Who is Sir Earnest Shackleton? Sir Earnest Shackleton was one of the most famous explorers of his day and it was considered a great honor to be part of any of his expeditions. He led this expedition.
Nevertheless the small group remained loyal to their captain’s instructions: to remain cheerful and optimistic despite all difficulties. Above all they worked to stay alive till Shackleton returned to rescue them.
When the ship was crushed by ice, Perce was one of those left behind on Elephant Island to wait for rescue. Shackleton and a few others set out through very dangerous seas to South Georgia Island to get help so that they could all be saved.

现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。

August 29th, 1916Slowly I put my head out of my sleeping bag and look around me. Everything is grey: the inside of the hut appears grey, the morning light looks grey and the pot bubbling on the oil stove is grey. The smell is, as usual, almost unbearable, being a mixture of sweat, seal oil fat and dirty underwear. I try to think of happier things: warm and dry clothes, a cosy bedroom, sunny days, my mother's face and the celebration we will get when we return, for I am part of a failed expedition that tried to cross the continent of Antarctica, something that had never been done before. As I think of this, a black blanket drops and covers me, almost blocking out the memories of happier times. I feel breathless as I remember my rotten toes that had to be removed when they became blackened from frostbite. Our circumstances are so desperate that it is uncertain whether we will ever return alive. Perhaps our bodies will be recognized and collected by some other expedition team many years from now.1916年8月29日慢慢地，我把头探出睡袋，向四周看了看。

Now read the texts to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.■Warming up by brain storming Chinese proverbsGood morning, class. Today is your first day of this term. And I believe you will have lots of work to do. Just as the saying goes Nothing ventures, nothing gained, you have to work still harder so that you might gain success in your studies.Today we shall read an article entitled A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE. What do you think of this title? Is there anything unusual about it?Yes, Oxymoron is used in the title. But what is Oxymoron?Oxymoron (or oxymora) are literary figures of speech usually composed of a pair of neighbouring contradictory words (often within a sentence). However this is not always the case. The Webster Dictionary defines oxymoron as "a combination of contradictory or incongruous words". Oxymorons can be used for dramatic effect, for example: Hell's Angels and deafening silence. They can also be comical, such as in civil engineer. Clearly this is not an oxymoron in thewell-seeming forms! / Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!" William ShakespeareI. Pre-readingBefore we read the text, let’s f irst get to know some facts about Australia.1. Facts of Antarctica: Antarctica, the fifth largest continent, c.5,500,000 sq mi (14,245,000 sq km), asymmetrically centered on the South Pole and almost entirely within the Antarctic Circle.2.

ReadingOn page 2 there is an article entitled "A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE "You are going to read it to the recording.Now read the text again to: cut/ the sentence into thought groups, blacken the predicative, darken the connectives and underline all the useful expressions.III.

PERCE BLACKBOROWBORN: PILLGWENTL Y. NEWPORT. W ALESDIED: MAESGLAS GROVE. NEWPORT. WALESNICKNAME : BLACKIEDUTY : STEWARDPHOTO TAKEN NOT LONG AFTER HIS ARRIV AL HOME FROM HOSPITAL IN PUNTA ARENAS.Awarded Bronze Polar MedalPerce Blackborow is famed for being probably the only person ever to stowaway on an Antarctic expedition. He was only 19 years of age when he met up with an American sailor, William Bakewell, and they both found themselves in Buenos Aires without a ship. Bakewell was accepted as a seaman on the Endurance by Shackleton , but Perce was refused due to his young age and lack of seamanship.At the time he was discovered on board the Endurance the ship was already three days sailing out of South Georgia. Shackleton really had no option but to offer him a position as steward. If anyone has to be eaten, then you will be the first! , said Shackleton.Perce did not let Shackleton down and he was awarded the honour of being the first person ever to set foot on Elephant Island. Due to severe frostbite to his toes he actually crawled ashore rather than walked.After the expedition, Perce spent three months hospitalised in Punta Arenas, Chile, recovering from the frostbite damage sustained to his left foot, which had resulted in the surgeons Macklin and McIllroy having to amputate his toes on Elephant Island on 15th June 1916.Perce it seems was a modest man, for upon returning home to Wales he avoided the welcoming home party waiting for him at the local railway station by going across the tracks and out the other side of the station. He soon volunteered to join The Royal Navy but was turned down because of the lack of digits on his left foot.He was however, accepted into The Merchant Navy and served until 1919 and went on to become a dock boatman in the Alexandra Docks, Newport.and also fished to help to support his family.He married a local girl, Kate Kearns and they settled in Maesglas, Newport. Their marriage produced six children .Jack, Jim, Peggy, Ken, Joan and Phillip. Unfortunately Phillip died in infancy and Jack died aged just 9 years."We didn't expect a feather bed down here."8.
