3.Buying Insurance
People face many choices when buying insurance policies. They commonly choose an insurance provider based on several criteria. Some of the most important of these include: 1) the financial stability of the insurance company, 2) the price of policies, and 3) details of coverage and service.

I’m not making anywhere near as much money as I did when I was employed full time, but now we don’t need as much either. I generate enough income to handle our $600-a-month mortgage payments plus the usual expenses for a family like ours. That includes everything from music lessons and dental bills to car repairs and college costs. When it comes to insurance, we have a poor man’s major-medical policy. We have to pay the first $500 of any medical fees for each member of the family. It picks up 80% of the costs beyond that. Although we are stuck with paying minor expenses, our premium is low — only $560 a year — and we are covered against catastrophe. Aside from that and the policy on our two cars at $400 a year, we have no other insurance. But we are setting aside $2,000 a year in an IRA.

T asks Ss the following questions on the song Out in theCountry: (5 minutes)---- What is the song about? (taking a break from city life, escaping from the crowd)---- How is the song related to the theme of this unit? (The singer needs a break because the pace of life has quickened, the environment has been changed, and the old life style is gone.)2.2. 1) Ss divide into three large groups, under each group smallersub-groups may form. Each large group is assigned one of the following discussion topics:---- Why do so many migrant workers (民工) move from the country tothe city?---- Why do city people buy apartments or houses in the suburbs, even in the countryside?---- Why are tours of Zhou Zhuang (周庄), Li Jiang (丽江)or any other old towns so popular?

(2 minutes)the Study of Language Points1. get by: be good enough but not very good; manage to live or do thingsin a satisfactory waye.g: My parents managed to get by on a small amount of money.It is a little bit difficult for the old couple to get by on such asmall pension.We can get by with four computers at the moment, but we'llneed a couple more when the new staff members arrive.2. haul: 1) transport, as with a truck, cart, etc.e.g: The farmers haul vegetables to the market on a truck every morning.The rescue team hauled medical supplies and food to the flooded villages.2) pull or drag sth. with effort or forcee.g: A carne had to be used to haul the car out of the stream.Rescue workers hauled passengers out of the crashed train.3. purse: followe.g: After graduation Martin chose to purse the same career as hisfather as a minister.College students are advised to purse a wide range of subjects.Public evening classes allow people to earn a living during theday and purse vocational and intellectual interests in their sparetime.4. get through: come successfully to the ende.g: The local government has taken some measures to ensure thatall the people will get through the winter.She got through the entrance examination and was accepted by the college.5. illustrate: provide with visual features; clarify by use of example, etc.e.g: Let me use another example to illustrate this difficult point.The editor has illustrated the book with black-and-whitephotographs.6. generate: bring into existence, producee.g: The widespread use of Spanish in some American cities hasgenerated a public debate over language use in the country.Space technology has generated thousands of products foreveryday use such as lightweight materials in running shoes. 7. premium: a sum of money that you pay regularly to an insurancecompany for an insurance policye.g: The employers make the employees pay for a large portion oftheir health insurance premium.Some people are complaining that car insurance premiums haveincreased too much this year.8. dine out: eat a meal away from home (usu. in a restaurant)e.g: With the improvement of living standards, more people dine out at weekends.It's my daughter's birthday today, so we're dining out tonight.9. patronize: go to as a customere.g: When he was a student, Sterling often patronized the little restaurant near the school.They no longer patronize the local department store because of its poor service.10. temptation: the feeling of being tempted to do sth. that you knowmight be wrong or harmful; the thing you want to have (uncount or count)e.g: The kids can't resist the temptation of McDonald's.In my view students should resist the temptation to take part-timejobs in their first two years at college.Post-reading tasks1. 1. 1) Ss work in pairs to finish Text Organization Exercise2.Later some of them may report to class.2) T guides Ss through Writing Strategy.3) T urges Ss to use comparison and contrast more effectively in theirown writing. (15 minutes)2. 2. 1) T asks Ss to re-read Paragraph 2 and analyze the relationshipamong its sentences (one topic sentence –―It’s a self-reliant sort of life.‖— followed by three detail sentences).2) Ss re-read the rest of the text to find similar patterns.

T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)1)1) do the pre-reading task;2)2) preview Text A.Text AnalysisThe author writes his piece in a clear and logical way. In many instances he employs the pattern of ― one topic sentence + several detail sentences‖ structure. It’s easy for readers to grasp the main idea, and it is also proven effective for learner writers like our students.Sometimes the detail sentences run parallel to each other, like those in Paragraph 2. In some other paragraphs the detail sentences have their own hierarchy. Take Paragraph 5 for example. The first sentence tells how busy ―I‖ am. The second sentence states that Sandy, the wife, is also busy. The final sentence is a kind of summary –nobody can relax. Yet following the second sentence there are a few more detail sentences showing exactly how tight a schedule Sandy has. Take Paragraphs 12-13 for another example. The topic sentence therein is ―I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities.‖ Then there are two sub-topic sentences: ―One is a tolerance for solitude‖; ―The other requirement is energy— a lot of it.‖ Each sub-topic sentence has its own supporting details.Sometimes there is no transitional devices between detail sentences, sometimes there are, the most frequently used one of which is time words or phrases. For example, the detail sentences in Paragraph 4 begin with ―three months ago‖, ―three months from now‖, ―recently‖, and ―later this month‖, respectively. To be sure, other conjunctions scatter the text, like ―first‖- ―then‖ –―then‖ –―eventually‖ in Paragraph 7.Unit 2 Civil Rights HeroesSuggested Teaching Plan (5 periods)ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1.1. understand the main idea (early civil-rights struggles in theU.S., esp. the Underground Railroad);2.2. learn to use library resources and other resources forinformation;3.3. grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in thetext;4.4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writingactivities related to the theme of the unit.Pre-reading tasks1.1. T asks Ss the following questions on the recording (5 minutes): ---- What are the special contributions of Abraham, John and Martin to the Americans?(They all advocated black civil rights.)---- How did they die? (They were all assassinated.)2.2. Knowledge of American geography1)1) T brings a map of the USA to class, hangs it in the front ofthe classroom.2)2) T explains that the USA was divided after the Abolition Act(废除黑奴制法案): the Northern States supported it, while theSouthern States disapproved of it.3)3) T circles out the Southern States ((Alabama, Arkansas,Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, SouthCarolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) and the Deep Southstates (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi) onthe map.4)4) Ss scan the text to find out all place names (Dresden Ontario,Ripley Ohio, Ohio River, Kentucky, North Carolina, New PortIndiana, Maryland, Cincinnati, Buffalo N.Y., Niagara River) andlocate them on the map.

(10 minutes)4.4. Out-of- class research projects: T guides Ss through WritingStrategy, then tells them to form groups to research into the discussion questions in Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks by using library resources, the Internet and other resources. Each group member may focus on only one discussion question. They will share findings in a later class. (9 minutes)5.5. Ss do Cloze B to get a better understanding of the UndergroundRailroad. (15 minutes)While-reading tasks1.1. Ss scan the text to see if there is any natural division betweenparts of the text. (There is a blank line between each part.) (2 minutes) 2.2. T explains the key language points in Part I and gives Sspractice (See Language Study). (10 minutes)3.3.

T make Ss realize that the last three parts are all ―stories‖supporting Part I. (2 minutes)11.11. T draws Ss attention to the two different usages of ―but‖ in thetext –―There was room for all but two‖ and ―Josiah Henson is but one nam e on a long list.‖ Ss then do after-text Exercise II. Words with Multiple Meanings. (15 minutes)Language Study1. slender: (of people) slim; not very wide but comparatively long or highe.g: Although her face was quite plain, she had long, slenderexpressive hands, like a concert pianist.King crabs have long, slender legs, with a span over 1 meter (3 feet).2. confident: feeling or showing trust in oneself or one's ability(usu.followed by about/of/that clause)e.g: Michael was confident that he would be enrolled by Harvard University.The more familiar you are with this machine, the moreconfident you will be about using it.The soccer team is quite confident of being able to win this important game.3. ironically: it seems ironic (that)e.g: Ironically the widespread use of antibiotics seems to be causinga lot of unexpected health problems.Ironically it is often the poorer people who give the most.4. forge: (fig) create by means of much hard worke.g: The two countries agreed to forge closer economic ties.She forged a new career for herself as a singer.5. be intent on doing sth.: be eager and determined to do sth.e.g: Working day and night, Janet seems intent on breaking therecord in the Guinness Book of Records.6. peer: look closely or carefully, esp. as if unable to see well (followed by at/through/into, etc.)e.g: Stephen had been peering at a computer printout that made no sense at all.Hawking was a typical grind, underweight and awkward andpeering through eye-glasses.7. capture: capturing or being capturede.g: Rebel forces captured the city after a week-long battle.Some of the terrorists who were involved in the 9.11 event were captured by the FBI.8. religious: of religione.g: Daoism (Taoism) is one of the three main religious andphilosophical traditions, the other being Confucianism andBuddhism.The local government wants to increase the amount of religious education in schools.9. impose: 1) place a (penalty, tax, etc.) officially on sb./sth.e.g: The government has made a decision to impose a further tax on wines and spirits.The local government tried to impose fines on the factorieswhich poured untreated waste into the river.2) try to make sb. accept (an opinion or belief)e.g: I wouldn't want to impose my religious convictions on anyone.It may not be wise for parents to impose their own tastes on their children.10. make the best of: accept an unsatisfactory situation cheerfully and tryto manage as well as you cane.g: I know it's cold and raining but we're here now, so let's just make the best of it.The living conditions in the village were very poor, but we had to make the best of it.Post-reading tasks1. 1) Ss form groups to discuss the following questions:---- Among so many participants of the Underground Railroad, why were John parker, Levi Coffin and Henson chosen as their representatives? Who do they each represent?---- We learn about Henson in Part I, then why is his story delayed until the last part?---- Why does the author sometimes quote directly from characters in the stories?(The answers to these questions are discussed below in Text Analysis.)2) Some Ss group report discussion results to class. (see Text Analysis) (20 minutes)2. T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (20 minutes)3. T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.4. Ss do Part IV: Theme-related Language Learning Tasks bydrawing on their out-of class research project. (1 period)5.5. T asks Ss to prepare the next unit (2 minutes):1)1) do the pre-reading task;2)2) preview Text A.Text AnalysisWhen we learn a foreign language, we must also learn the culture of the speakers of thatlanguage. Text A in this unit is a good case in point. Readers need some basic knowledge of Christianity. Some terms in this text are markedly Christian, like ―Methodist Minister‖, ―Bible‖, ―Quaker‖. Others refer to characters or places from Biblical stories, such as Moses who led the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt, or Bethlehem, a holy city for Christians.The author tells three stories about the Underground Railroad and the early Black civil rights movement. The three stories are chosen because they are representative of all participants in this movement: John Parker is a freed slave who later turned into a courageous ―conductor‖; Levi Coffin is a brave white ―conductor‖; Josiah Henson is a slave who struggled his way to freedom with the help of the Underground Railroad.We learn about the name of Josiah Henson at the beginning of the text, yet his full story is not told until the last part. In this way the author achieves coherence of text.Direct speeches are more convincing than indirect speech, especially when it comes to expressing personal beliefs. For example, the text quotes Levi Coffin saying ―The Bible, in bidding us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, said nothing about color.‖On other occasions, direct speech make a story more vivid. For example, in the John Parker story, characters spoke short sentences to stress the urgency of the situation. For another example, Josiah Henson threw himself to the ground and shouted to astonished onlookers: ―Oh, no! Don’t you know? I’m free!‖ His joy affects us all.Unit 3 SecuritySuggested Teaching Plan (5 periods)ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1.1. grasp the main idea (America is deteriorating into ―the mostinsecure nation‖) and the structure of the text (opening –body –conclusion);2.2. learn to use comparison and contrast in writing more effectivelyand to use keywords for more efficient reading;3.3. master the key language points and grammatical structures inthe text;4.4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writingactivities related to the theme of the unit.Pre-reading tasks1.1. T asks Ss the following questions on the recording:---- Who is Mr. Saturday Night Special? (the gun)---- What is the message of the song? (It’s dangerous to have guns.) (5 minutes)2.2. The security measures we take:1)1) Ss form groups to discuss either of the following twoquestions:---- In our families, what measures do we take to prevent burglaries?For example, is there an anti-burglary door at your apartment?---- In our contact with the outside world, what precautions do we take to steer clear of danger? For example, do we speak to strangers?2)2) Some Ss report discussion results to class. (20 minutes)3.3. T may lead in to the text by saying: Once upon a time in China,no one picked up and pocketed anything lost on the road, while no family had the need to bolt the doors at night（路不拾遗，夜不闭户）.However, this is no longer true nowadays. The same change has taken place in the US. Let’s see how insecure a nation the US has become.(2 minutes)While-reading tasks1. 1. Understanding text title1)1) T invites several Ss to interpret the title The Land of theLock in their own words in English.2)2) Ss scan the text to underline sentences containing the word―lock‖ or the word root ―lock‖.3)3) Ss read out those sentences to T, who copies them down onthe blackboard in order:---- … the door was closed but not locked (Para. 1)---- … doors do not stay unlocked (Para. 2)---- It has been replaced by dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems…(Para.4)---- The lock is a new symbol of America. (Para. 6)---- …a picture of a child’s bicycle with the now-usual padlock attached to it… (Para. 6)---- …the transformation of America from the Land of the Free to the Land of the Lock(Para. 7)---- …we devise ways to lock the fear out (Para. 16)---- We may have locked the evils out, but in so doing we have locked ourselves in. (Para. 18)4)4) T asks Ss to go over these sentences again, paying specialattention to tense changes.5)5) Based on these sentences, Ss summarize the main idea ofthis text. (see Text Analysis) (20 minutes)2. 2. T guides Ss through the directions for Text organizationExercise 2, so that they understand the three-part structure of the text.(3 minutes)3. 3. T explains key language points in Part I and gives Ss practice(see Language Study). (10 minutes)4. 4. Ss sums up the main idea of Part I. (2 minutes)5. 5. T explains key language points in Part II and gives Ss practice(see Language Study) (30 minutes)6. 6. Ss do Text Organization Exercise 1. (10 minutes)7.7. T explains key language points in Part III and gives Ss practice(see Language Study). (15 minutes)8.8. Ss sum up the main idea of Part III. (3 minutes)Language Study1. on the latch: (of a door) closed but not lockede.g: Let yourself in; the door is on the latch.Don't forget to leave the front door on the latch if you go to bed before I come back.2. vulnerable: exposed to danger or attack; unprotectede.g: Intruders are developing techniques to harness the power ofhundreds of thousands of vulnerable systems on the Internet.Compared with Saudi Arabian soccer team, the Chinese team is more vulnerable.Museums in the developing world often have fewer securitymeasures and thus remain more vulnerable to thefts.3. tranquil: calm, quite and undisturbede.g: The hospice aims to bring peace and comfort to the dying byoffering expert care and a tranquil atmosphere.Visitors like to stay in this hotel because it is beautiful andlocated in a tranquil lake area.4. build in/into: make (sth.) as part of the structuree.g: The cupboards in the kitchen are all built in.We are having shelves built into the wall over the bed.5. premise: 1) (pl) all the buildings and land that an institution occupies on one sitee.g: There is a kitchen on the premises.The shop sells food but doesn't allow it to be eaten on the premises.The company is looking for new premises.2) sth. that you accept as true and use as a basis for another idea or wayof thinking (usu. followed by that clause)e.g: The corporation operates on the premises that family life directly affects business results.The program started from the premise that men and women areon equal terms in this society.6. put up: build or erecte.g: He put up a new fence around his house.Most of the old buildings were pulled down so that blocks ofapartments could be put up.7. barricade: a barrier of large objects, intended to stop an enemy; block with a barricadee.g: The rioters barricaded streets with piles of blazing tyres.Protesters have been putting up barricades across a number of major streets.8. hold/keep (sb.) at bay: prevent (an enemy, pursuers, etc.) from coming neare.g: Eating oranges keeps colds at bay.She left the light on at night to keep her fears at bay.9. be bathed in: cover or envelop as if with liquide.g: The fields and woods were bathed in a golden light at sunrise.

Post-reading tasks1.1. Cause and effect1)1) T guides Ss through Writing Strategy.2)2) T invites several Ss to sum up the cause--effect structure ofText A (Fear and distrust lead to various security devices, which in turn makes the Americans prisoners of their own making.)3)3) Ss reconsider Text Organization Exercise 1, then answer thequestion: How are these details arranged? (categorical arrangement) (10 minutes)2.2. Comparison and contrast1)1) Ss re-read Paragraphs 1, 4, 10, 11, 12, and 13, then tell whatthese three pairs of paragraphs have in common. (Each pair contrast the past situation with the present one.)2)2) Ss discuss what transitional devices are used to connectthose pairs together.3)3) Some Ss report to class. (see Text Analysis) (15 minutes)3.3. T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (30 minutes)4.4. T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)5.5. Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1period)6.6. T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit (2 minutes):1)1) do the pre-reading task;2)2) preview Text A.Text AnalysisWhen we read, we are not only learning new vocabulary or structures, but alsolooking for key information. Identifying keywords is even more important if our reading time is not that plentiful. ―Lock‖ is the keyword in this text, by locating ―lock’s‖ throughout the text, we get a pretty good idea of what this essay is about.There are several examples of comparison and contrast in this article:Para. 1 vs. Para. 4, Para. 10 vs. Para. 11, Para. 12 vs. Para. 13. The first pair acts as the opening of the whole piece of writing. The latter two are just two supporting details for the central argument.It’s interesting to see how the author threads his narration back and forth between the past and the present. Never for once does he write ―in the past‖ or ―at present‖ explicitly.

• It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference. • It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America. • It’s the answer that led those who’ve been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day. • It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.
Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live Teaching plan全新版大学英语三
Unit 1 Changes in the Way We LiveTeaching Plan (5 periods)ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (tolerance for solitude and energy made it possible for thewriter's family to enjoy their pleasant but sometimes harsh country life);2.appreciate the various techniques employed by the writer (comparison and contrast,topic sentences followed by detail sentences, use of transitional devices, etc.);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to thetheme of the unit.Time allotment1st period: Pre-reading; While-reading (4-Part division, Part I)2nd period: While-reading (Parts I-III)3rd period: While-reading; Post-reading (comparison & contrast)4th period: Post-reading; Check on Ss' home reading (Text B)5th period: Theme-Related Language Learning TasksPre-reading tasks1.T asks Ss the following questions on the song Out in the Country: (5 minutes)— What is the song about? (taking a break from city life, escaping from the crowd) —How is the song related to the theme of this unit? (The singer needs a break because the pace of life has quickened, the environment has been changed, and the old life style is gone.)2.1) Ss divide into three large groups, under each group smaller sub-groups may form.Each large group is assigned one of the following discussion topics:—Why do so many migrant workers (民工) move from the country to the city?—Why do city people buy apartments or houses in the suburbs, even in the countryside?— Why are tours of Zhou Zhuang (周庄), Li Jiang (漓江) or any other old towns so popular? Why are tourists willing to pay to spend a day in a farmer's house?2) After the discussion, speakers of some sub-groups report to class.3) T may sum up like this: People change their places of living because they look forthings that their previous life is unable to provide. However, once life has beenchanged, they miss the good old days. (20 minutes)3.Ss do Cloze B in after-text exercises to learn about Americans' ideal of a country life.Then T leads in to the study of Text A. (10minutes)While-reading tasks1.T tells Ss how to divide the text into four parts, and that they are to sum up the mainidea of each part as they read along (see Text Organization Exercise 1). (2 minutes)2.Ss read the first sentences of Paras 1-3 and sum up the main idea of this part. (3minutes)3.T explains language points in this part and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(15minutes)4.T explains language points in Part II and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(20minutes)5.Ss re-read Part II and make a summary of each paragraph in it. T writes down theirsummaries on the blackboard. Then, based on paragraph summaries, Ss will come up with a summary of Part II. (8minutes)6.Ss read the fast sentences of Paras 8-11 and sum up the main idea of this part. (3minutes)7.T explains the language points in this part and gives Ss practice (see LanguageStudy). (20minutes)8.T explains language points in Part IV and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (20minutes)9.Ss find out the two special qualities that make a country life possible. (2 minutes) Post-reading tasks1.1) Ss work in pairs to finish Text Organization Exercise2. Later some of them mayreport to class.2) T guides Ss through Writing Strategy.3) T urges Ss to use comparison and contrast more effectively in their own writing.(15 minutes)2.1) T asks Ss to re-read Para 2 and analyze the relationship among its sentences (onetopic sentence —"It's a self-reliant sort of life."— followed by three detail sentences).2) Ss re-read the rest of the text to find similar patterns. Then they would report theirfindings to class (see Text Analysis).3) T encourages Ss to model their own writing after this pattern. (15 minutes)3.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)4.T checks on Ss' home reading. (3 minutes)5.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)6.T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)1) do the pre-reading task;2) preview Text A.Text AnalysisThe author writes his piece in a clear and logical way. In many instances he employs the pattern of "one topic sentence + several detail sentences" structure. It's easy for readers to grasp the main idea, and it is also proven effective for learner writers like our students.Sometimes the detail sentences run parallel to each other, like those in Para 2. In some other paragraphs the detail sentences have their own hierarchy. Take Para 5 for example. The first sentence tells how busy "I" am. The second sentence states that Sandy, the wife, is also busy. The final sentence is a kind of summary—nobody can relax.Yet following the second sentence there are a few more detail sentences showing exactly how tight a schedule Sandy has. Take Paras 12-13 for another example. The topic sentence therein is "I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities." Then there are two sub-topic sentences: "One is a tolerance for solitude"; "The other requirement is energy—a lot of it." Each sub-topic sentence has its own supporting details.Sometimes there is no transitional devices between detail sentences, sometimes there are, the most frequently used one of which is time words or phrases. For example, the detail sentences in Para 4 begin with "three months ago", "three months from now", "recently", and "later this month",respectively. To be sure, other conjunctions scatter the text, like "first"- "then" -"then" - "eventually" in Para 7.Cultural Notes1.the countryside: The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and manycontrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of farmland, as well as open spaces, they imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley.Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe theywould have a better and healthier lifestyle.America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns.Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away, and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.2.Fahrenheit scale: a scale of temperature, first established by the German physicistGabriel Fahrenheit in 1715. The unit of temperature is the degree Fahrenheit (°F), and 0°F was originally the coldest temperature Fahrenheit could achieve using a freezing mixture of salt and ice. On his scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F (under set atmospheric conditions). No longer used in scientific work, Fahrenheit temperatures still feature in everyday language; hot days "in the eighties", for example. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius (centigrade), subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9.3.Celsius scale: a scale of hotness, or temperature, first established by the Swedishscientist Anders Celsius (1701-1744) in 1742. On this scale, the unit of temperature is the degree Celsius (°C); water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C (under agreed standard atmospheric conditions), although when Celsius originally devised the scale he made 100°the boiling-point and 0°the freezing-point. The Celsius scale was formerly commonly known as the centigrade scale because of the 100 divisions between the freezing- and boiling-points of water. To convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit multiply by 9/5 and add 32.4.Ivy League: eight long-established colleges and universities in the United Stateswith prestigious academic and social reputations. Members of the Ivy League are Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island; Columbia University in New York City; Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire; Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts;University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey; and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The members of theIvy League compete in intercollegiate athletics.5.Sports Illustrated: a popular US sports magazine published each week by Time Inc.part of Time Warner. It first appeared in 1954, and is read mainly by men. The magazine also publishes the Sports Illustrated Sports Almanac every year.6.Individual Retirement Account (IRA): a US government plan that allows peopleto put part of their income into special bank accounts. No tax has to be paid on this money until they retire.7.Buying Insurance: People face many choices when buying insurance policies. Theycommonly choose an insurance provider based on several criteria. Some of the most important of these include: 1) the financial stability of the insurance company, 2) the price of policies, and 3) details of coverage and service.Only a financially sound company can fulfill its promise to pay in all circumstances. Companies with proven records of stability can provide insurance security. Choice of a provider based solely on price, on the other hand, may result in poor service and coverage, even if the provider advertises comprehensive coverage and high quality service.Policy prices vary significantly among companies, but competition usually forces most companies' prices into a narrow range.

In many instances he employs the pattern of “one topic sentence + several detail sentences” structure. It’s easy for readers to grasp the main idea, and it is also proven effective for learner writers like our students. Sometimes the the detail detail sentences run run parallel parallel to to each each other, other, like like those those in in Para Para 2. 2. In In some some other other paragraphs the detail sentences have their own hierarchy . Take Para 5 for example. The fi rst sentence tells how busy “I” am. The second sentence states that Sandy , the wife, is also busy. The final sentence i s a kind of summary summary——nobody can relax. Y e t following the second sentence there are a few more detail sentences showing et following the second sentence there are a few more detail sentences showing exactly how tight a schedule Sandy has. Take Paras 12-13 for an other example. The topi c sentence therein i s “I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities.” Then there are two sub -topic sentences:sentences: “One i “One is a tolerance for solitude”; “T he other requirement i s energy energy—a lot of it.” Each sub —a lot of it.” Each sub-topic sentence has its own supporting details. Sometimes Sometimes there there is no is no transitional transitional devices devices between between detail sentences, sometimes detail sentences, sometimes t here there are, are, the the most most frequently used one of which is time words or phrases. For example, the detail sentences in Para 4 begi n with “three months ago”, “three months from now”, “recently”, and “later thi s month”, respectively. To be sure, other conjunctions scatter the text, like “first”- “then” -”then” - “eventually” in Para 7.Ⅲ.

In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family inChina today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.Unit Two Civil Rights HeroesPart II Text A THE FREEDOM GIVERSText OrganizationOne Paras 1-5It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un-derground Railroad to freedom.2.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a longway to go.Unit Three SecurityText A THE LAND OF THE LOCKText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas. Dead-bolt locks, security chains,electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.2) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.3) Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasantof homes.4) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.5) Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.6) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the calleris telling lies or not.7) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.Vocabularytranquil 2) analyze 3) by a small margin 4)civilize 5) rural 6)closedup7) era 8)paste 9) without so much as 10)sideways 11) barricaded 12)hook up to13) error 14)chart 15) Bathed in2. 1) bring about 2) looked back on 3) cut off 4) fit into 5) wear (the other) down 6) lies in 7) put up 8) stand for3. 1) A certain gene which is likely to make people vulnerable to asthma has been found by researchersat the Department of Clinical Medicine in Oxford.2) A wardrobe with mirrored doors had to be built in so as to make their small bedroom look larger.3) The NBC show's opening shots feature the space shuttle Challenger blowing up in January 1986—killingall seven crew.4) Colds can be held at bay by increasing your intake of fruit and vegetables which are both low in caloriesand rich in Vitamin C.5) Energy difficulties are a major barrier to the country's economic growth due to the fact that importedoil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange / because imported oil has absorbed 40% of its foreign exchange.4. 1) Jacob looked back on his summer holidays spent on the Big Island of Hawaii with itsbeautiful landscape and tranquil atmosphere as a rare escape from the madness of urban life.2) I was puzzled by the word "e-mail" when I came across it for the first time years ago.

TranslationA burglary is reported every 15 seconds in the United States. Statistics show burglars en-tered morethan 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. Allyou can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity.A light should be fixedin the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happento be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked,are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficultfor the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and putthem up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you havea trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return.

Without it there would be no Republic as it is, for we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unpro-tected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights.
