My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what's the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger, than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don't remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to "impose" the differences between used to and be used to on us, Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head. I don't remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams. I was really confused with these two phrases, and I can never get them right.In brief, I'm allergic to learning English grammar, Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers. of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse !1-5 TranslationTranslation 1Reference:人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
新视野大学英语1读写教程unit 1 Learning a Foreign Language
新视野大学英语读写教程第一册unit1Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningPlease listen to a short passage carefully and prepare to answer some questions.Second ListeningListen to the tape again. Then answer the following questions with your own experiences.1. What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?2. Why do you think the computer can help you in learning English?3. What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as anotebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends. I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.Section BKeys to Successful Online LearningWhile regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community. Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming aware of online learning that allows them to study at home. Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.1. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning. Many different people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.2. Be able to communicate through writing.In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. In this way, students gain great insight from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.3. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong. If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem. If another student is able to help, she/he probably will. While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about thesubject.4. Take the program seriously.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education — not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.5. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning.Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking. In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor, by their classmates and by their own work.6. Be able to think ideas through before replying.Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning. Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged. Many times online students will not always be right; they just need to be prepared to accept a challenge.7. Keep up with the progress of the course.Online learning is normally sequential and requires commitment on the students' part. Keeping up with the face-to-face class and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online. People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students. If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make.Section CTeaching Children at HomeRecord numbers of children are being taken out of school and taught by their parents at home. Up to 100 children a month are leaving the classroom because parents are not satisfied with schools. Around 15,000 families now teach their children at home, a rise of 50 per cent from last year, according to the latest figures.This present rise in home schooling is blamed on the nature of examinations, not getting children into the school of choice, and dissatisfaction with teaching methods. Some parents prefer keeping children home because of attacks by other students and a lack of discipline in schools. Researchers say, however, many families prefer teaching at home because they feel the idea of public schooling is not modern. They believe schools will be things of the past in 20 years as media technology, like the Internet, teaches children. 1. ______Under the law, parents must teach their children, whether at school or at home. Community officials are charged with protecting their schooling. Professor Meighan of Nottingham University says parents were fed up with the requirements of existing schools. For him, schools are anout-of-date concept from the days of the town crier(市政传令员), when it was difficult to get information and a central person was needed to communicate knowledge. He also thinks parents are recognizing education is moving on and don't want their children to be held back by out-of-date methods. 2. ______Meighan suggests children will be taught at home using the Internet, computers, and video(录像片). He thinks future schools will be small groups of children, sharing equipment in their homes. The teachers may become advisers who sort through the information. 3. ______Future schooling was questioned by Sir Christopher Ball of the Royal(皇家的)Society of Arts. He thinks learning in the future will include an international curriculum and international standards. He sees some present models of schooling — community schools and home schooling, for example — becoming more central and other models, not yet existing, may develop. 4. ______ How Personal Choice Brings O-Level Success at 13Leslie Barson is already running the type of school that researchers think will teach children in the future. Based partly at a community centre and partly in family homes, the Otherwise Club includes some 35 families around north London. Professional teachers are brought in to help with special subjects, but mostly parents and children work together on units like studying the Greeks or the American Civil War, reading about events, making costumes(戏装), and learning how people used to live. 5.______ 6. ______Parents choosing home schooling say the freedom of home learning allows some children to sit one or two GCEs by the age of 13. Ms. Barson's own children, Luis, age 12, and 7-year-old Lilly, have never attended school. She pays around 2,000 pounds a year for private teachers to help in special areas. She set up the Otherwise Club six years ago with just a few students. She thinks the purpose of teaching children is to develop their self-worth. Her son agrees. Luis, now teaching himself math, said, "I like the freedom to learn things that interest me, especially music. I don't feel I am missing out on anything by not being at school because I am a member of various clubs and have friends who attend normal school." 7. ______ 8. ______The “Danger” of Separating StudentsHome schooling could change children's relations with their peers and older people because of long periods spent with their parents. Most professors agree future learning will be more centred around the home, and fear children could become isolated and shy. Professor Michael Barber of London University said pupils could spend half their time at school, half at home as a way to solve this problem. He believes very strongly that children need the experience of school to ensure the quality of being taught the basics and being examined. He thinks children must spend time with peers to learn the rules of work in a democratic(民主的)society and to learn how to deal with relations with more people than just their parents. Margaret Rudland, head teacher in Hammersmith, also thinks children must experience actual peer relations. 9. ______ 10. ______新视野大学英语1读写教程教案unit 1 Learning a Foreign LanguageBook One Unit OneObjectives：Students will be able to:1. grasp the main idea and the structure of the text ;2. understand the devices developing the paraphrases;3. master the key words and phrases and sentence patterns in the text;4. conduct a serious of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.Time Span: 4 Periods(Two for Section A and Two for Review of Section A ,Reading Skills and Section B)Section A Learning a Foreign LanguageTeaching Precedures:I. Pre-reading Activities: Listen, Look & Say1. Questions & Answers(Oral Practice)1).What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?(Like most students of my age, I had to be faced with many problems in learning English, such as pronunciation, grammar rules, and cultural background. And the most frustrating one was how to memorize a large body of new words. As far as the college life is concerned now, however, my big trouble with English learning is that my class is very large and I have few chances to practice my spoken English in class.)2).Do you think the computer can help you in learning English? Why or why not?(Because the computer, once networked, allows us more access to the outside world. I have found the computer course, though as difficult as regular classroom study, very suitable for me. For one thing, I have more freedom to set the pace of study for myself. For another, I could select the material to my taste or based on my English level. And best of all, I have more chances to exchange ideas with native speakers, without much worry about making mistakes.)3). What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?(As a most rewarding experience of mine, learning English can bring me a lot of benefits. To begin with, it can teach me the value of practice. The more practice I do in listening, speaking, reading and writing, the more progress I make in English. Besides, it can give me insights into other cultures, keeping my mind open to new ways of thinking. And above all, it can help me communicate with many more people than before. Now talking with people in English is one of my favorite activities.)2. Watch the video and then discuss the topics as follows:(Episode clipped from The Sound of Music)1). What insight can we get from the video?(The same holds true for our English learning. For example, when you come across in reading such phrases as “far from perfect”, “hunger for knowledge” and “put yourself in others’ shoes”, you may find nothing special in them. But when they are linked to the Chinese expressions “远不尽人意”，“求知欲” and “设身处地为人家想想” , with which you are familiar, they are now well worth your attention. To sum up, the better combination there is of the unfamiliar and the familiar in your study, the greater interest you will take in the course.)2). What new light does the video throw on our English study?(So the best course open to us now is to apply what we have learned from books to what we are familiar or concerned with in our daily life. For instance, we are going to learn the sentence “ Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends”. We can use the pattern to express what is on our minds, such as “Now that the new college life is here to challenge us, instead of staying only in our dreams, all we can do is to face it cheerfully”. In short, where there is a better application of your knowledge to your life there is more progress. )3.Spot Dictation(Listen to the recording and fill in the blanks)Online learning, a form of ________ education, _____ to learning and other supportive resources that are _________ through a networked computer. With the development of the Internet, online learning often takes place on the Internet. In an online lesson, the computer _______ material in ________ to a learner’s _______. The computer asks the learner ___ more information and _________ appropriate material _____ on the learner’s input. The material can be as simple as ___________ lessons and their tests that are transcribed into a computer program.(distance, refers ,available ,displays, response, request, for, presents, based, traditional)II .Text Analysis: Main Idea and Devices for Developing It1.What is the main idea of the text ?(Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.)Part I:( Para 1)Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.Part II (Para.2-4):My different experiences with the regular course in junior and senior middle schools and at collegePart III (Para.5-7)My experiences with the online course helped me reap the benefits of hard work.2.Devices for developing the main idea1).演绎法(Deduction Organization) (from ‘general’ to ‘specific’)General statement (Topic):Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.Specific statements:A.

When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly, that he seemed a comic antique. I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed. Late in the year we tackled the informal essay. Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering us a choice of topics. None was quite so simple-minded as "What I Did on My Summer Vacation," but most seemed to be almost as dull. I took the list home and did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the unwelcome task, took the list out of my notebook, and scanned it. The topic on which my eye stopped was "The Art of Eating Spaghetti."

All the successful people love their work and they have a strong passion for it.Second,most people are not clear about what they want.They do not know the exact destination that they want to reach,so they end up going nowhere.Finally,most people do not focus on what they want.They are only focusing on and thinking about what they do not want,but successful people think about their dreams and their goals and how they can achieve them all the time.2.In my opinion,there are at least three steps apart from the ones introduced in the talk.First,we should learn to adopt suitable strategies,which are critical to making your action efficient and effective.Second,we should realize the significance of learning,which can provide us with sufficient knowledge and skills needed for achieving our goals.And finally,we should create or find opportunities rather than wait for opportunities to find us.1. 2.2Reading comprehension(1)1.He achieved fame for his wit,wisdom,civic duty,and abundantcourage.2.They were thought to be slow learners in childhood,but theyovercame their childhood difficulties and made magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today.3.His strong will.4.It means to keep their focus on achieving a positive end result,instead of letting small problems get in the way of good results.5.Because they have the will to overcome profound obstacles andto work diligently in the pursuit of their goals,and have the passion for success.6.Because firms preferred to hire less qualified men rather thanrisk hiring a female lawyer,which was unprecedented.7.We should never give up on our dream,and one day we can changethe world and make it a better place.8.The secret of success is built upon a burning inward desire-a robust,fierce will and focus-that fuels the determination toact,to keep preparing,to keep going even when we are tired and fail.(2)1.You may have tried and failed many times before you finally getsuccess.But it does not matter.What matters is whether you can summon up(鼓起)all your courage again and again to face the hardships standing in the way of success.2.Luck,talent,good relationships with your colleagues,etc.3.•When I have realized that I am pursuing something that is hardto achieve,I would try to stick to the goal.But I will begin to think of what I can do to improve the situation.When it still doesn't work,I would try to analyze what the problem is and then make some changesand probably reset my goal.4.•Following the guidance of senior people.1. 3.1Word in use1.whereby,2.pursuit,3.inhibit,4.maintain,5.patriotic,6.transcended,7.endeavors endeavours,8.dedication,9.prestige,10.nominate1. 3.2Word building:Practice(1)1.inhabit2.participant3.attendant4.pollutant5.descendant6.contestant7.tolerant8.resultant9.neglectful10.resourceful11.boastful12.respectful(2)1.resultant,2.tolerant,3.pollutants,4.inhabited,5.contestants,6.descendants,7.attendants,8.respectful,9.participants,10.neglectful,11.resourceful,12.boastful1. 3.4Banked cloze1)eventually,2)premier,3)endeavor,4)bypass,5)handicaps,6)committed,7)attained,8)transcend,9)feats,10)slightest1. 3.5Expressions in use1)eventually,2)premier,3)endeavor,4)bypass,5)handicaps,6)committed,7)attained,8)transcend,9)feats,10)slightest1. 4.2Structured analysis:PracticeA,B,B,C1. 4.2Structured writing:PracticeThey say there，s no place like home.In my case,there isn，t much that is good about my apartment.My apartment has given me nothing but headaches.

Background Information1. Introduction to the AuthorEsther Dvson was born in 1 95 1 in Zurich, Switzerland. She grew up in Princeton, New Jersey,and received a B. A. from Harvard. Dyson is the editor and publisher of the widely respected computer newsletter Release 1．0 which circulates to 1, 600 computer industry leaders. She is chairperson of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an industry—financed civil liberties watchdog group. Dyson is also the organizer and moderator of the annual Personal Computer Forum. ……Cyber space：If You Don‟t Love It, Leave It” appeared in the New York Times Magazine (July 1995).2. Introduction to the TextCyberspace generally refers to the Internet and the information contained on it. Useful information is easily accessible to any computer user via a modem and a server. For this reason, many people are fascinated with cyberspace. Unfortunately, cyberspace also offers undesirable information and indecent pictures. Some websites even give instructions in stealing, gambling and other crimes, thus creating social problems. Therefore, for some, cyberspace is a nasty place that good citizens shouldavoid and government should control. What should be done? Should cyberspace be destroyed? Should it be strictly regulated? These issues are discussed in the present article.3. Pre-reading questionsLead-in questionsPurposes：·To present key words and phrases related to Internet and cyberspace·To encourage students to think about the topic of the coming text, i．e．cyberspace ·To arouse students‟ interest in the topic of the coming text·To develop students‟ skill in predicting the main idea of the textMethodology：1．In activity 1, some key words and phrases along with their definitions are presented．Although many students are already familiar with these words and phrases, they cannot always give accurate definitions of them in English. To make sure that the whole class participate in the discussion, let them work in pairs first and then encourage them to compare their answers with other neighboring classmates. By working with a partner first and then more classmates, students should be able to match the terms and definitions correctly. There is no need to check the answers in class, but be ready to provide any help they need while they are working．2．Activity 2 is designed to arouse students‟ interest in the topic of the text and prepare them to read the text actively. Make sure that everybody is interviewing or is being interviewed. They can ask the five questions 1isted in the textbook. Also encourage them to think of other questions to ask. If time permits，you can find one or two students to report to the class what they have found．3．In order to get the whole class involved, pair—work is recommended for activity 3.It may be very easy for your students to give a list of reasons why they like cyberspace. For example, they can do all the things listed in activity 2 and perhaps many others. Encourage students to think critically about cyberspace，for example，what problems cyberspace has created or may create, what harm it may do to adults and children in their life, work and studies, etc．4．Activity 4 can be a class discussion．But control the time!Key to lead-in questions1．Match the terms with the definitions．1) cyberspace: the Internet and the information on it (e)2) cyberspace community: a group of people with similar interests and tastes communicating among themselves on the Internet (f)3) e-mail: messages that computer users send to each other via a modem and servers on the Internet (b)4) the Internet／N et: a network of computers through which people with a computer and a modem can exchange messages (C)5)surfing the Internet: looking for information on the Internet(a)6) website: the place where screens of information are found on the Interact(d)2．&3．(略)Answers can be diverse．4．The title ……Cyberspace：If You Don‟t Love It, Leave It” consists of two parts divided by a“：”. The first part tells us the subject of the article; the second part indicates a choice: love it, or leave it. You have complete freedom．Period 2-3While-reading activitya. The organization of the textThe Gist of the ArticleThis article mainly answers three questions:·What is the nature of cyberspace?·What does cyberspace comprise?·Should cyberspace be regulated? If so，how should it be regulated?In paragraphs 1 to 5, the author defines the nature of cyberspace by comparing it with real Estate. According to the author, cyberspace is like real estate consisting of many different areas such as Darkland, shopping mall, school district, church, state and drugstore. Cyberspace also consists of different places, each place catering to the tastes and interests of a particular group of people. It is up to the individual to decide which area to go to. Unfortunately, some places are not suitable for children, others are nasty places that good citizens should avoid. Therefore, many people think that cyberspace should be regulated.Paragraphs 6 to 1 0 discuss what cyberspace comprises. According to the author, cyberspace comprises three parts. First, there are e—mail conversations. Second, there are information and entertainment services. Third, there are communities in which individuals can choose to participate. If they are not interested in a particular cyberspace community and its rules，they can simply leave it.The author argues in paragraphs 11 to 16 that, besides government regulations, cyberspace communities should also rule themselves by setting and enforcing their own community standards. Some communities are already doing so.The author admits at the end of the article that cyberspace, like any terrestrial place, is not a perfect place; it has its own problems, but individuals can exercise their freedom to choose what suits them: they can have individual choice and responsibility.b. Detailed reading---study of the language pointsDetailed reading of the textPurposes：·To help students draw important facts of each paragraph ‟· To help students identify and remove the source of difficulty in understanding the text · To help students actively interact with the text and develop strategies to work out the meaning of the text·To give students practice in note-takingMethodology：When working through the text, you can, besides explanation (refer to “DetailedEx planation of the Text‟‟ in the student’s book), use the technique of asking questions to develop students‟understanding. Make sure students always keep their text open when they answer the questions. The purpose of asking questions is to make students actively interact with the text and develop their strategies to draw the meaning from the text. At the same time, they can become aware of the way language is used to convey meaning. There is a close connection between answering questions and developing understanding.At the start, three types of questions should be designed for this purpose. First, straightforward questions ne ed to be asked to draw students‟attention to important facts in the text and to ensure they understand the literal meaning of the facts．The second type of questions should be used to develo p students‟ skills of tackling difficult sentences．The third type should make students recognize grammatical and lexical features that play a crucial part in the interpretation of the text．…When students answer your questions they should also practice taking notes.You can ask the following questions orally.1. What do Americans like to do ?2. Is there a place on earth where you can go and be yourself?3. What was cyberspace formerly? Who go to cyberspace now ?4. What is real estate?5. What metaphor does the author use to describe cyberspace ?6. In what way is cyberspace similar to real estate?7. What places in cyberspace are capturing the popular imagination?8. What advantage does cyberspace have over television system?9. Why, according to the author, do e-mail conversations require no regulations ?10. In what way is cyberspace like bookstores, malls and movie houses?1l. In what way is cyberspace like bars and restaurants?12. How do cyberspace communities evolve? Give examples to illustrate your point.13. What is the unique characteristic about cyberspace according to the author?14. What freedom do people in cyberspace have that people in terrestrial environmentsdo not have?15. what will happen if people in a cyberspace community sign off?16. What kind of government will cyberspace communities need 717. What measures can be taken to deal with questionable items in cyberspace? Canyou give an example?18. Is cyberspace a perfect place? If not, why are people so excited about it ?Period 4Post-reading activitya. Speaking ActivityAsk Ss to discuss the “pros and cons of the Internet” in groups and then present their opinions in class.b. Writing PracticeWith the help of writing strategies on P23, Ss write a composition “The Pros and Consof the Internet”.c. Have students finish the exercises。
新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第一册Unit1课后习题答案
Unit 1 Fresh StartSection AIn fact all the pieces of advice mentioned in the interview are very useful. But if I have to choose one as the most useful, I'd choose "keep a balance". When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It's important to keep a balance between life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2.What advice did your parents give you before you left for college?Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Reading comprehension1.According to the president, what did the parents remind their children to do before theyleft for college?The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2.What does the president call on the students to do with the greatest resources oncampus?The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3.What does the president mean when he says "sample them widely" (Para. 5)?By saying "sample them widely", the president means students should try many different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4.What could be the consequences if you don't challenge yourself?If we don't challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5.What can you learn from the example of Vera Wang?We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves, and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don't know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6.How should you deal with new and unpleasant experiences in college?We should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons and will enrich our life.7.How do you understand "Now it is your turn" (Para. 7)?The expression "Now it is your turn" means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8.How does the president's speech impress you?The president's welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life, the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities that we should take. The speech is very inspiring.1. What role do you think a university education will play in your life?A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a number of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop my critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2.Do you think a university education can change a person's life? In what way and why? Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and therefore more choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.How do you think about those successful people such as Bill Gates who dropped out ofuniversity?I admire those who dropped out of university and yet had made fame for themselves by achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4.How do you understand the statement "If you think education is expensive, tryignorance"?Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. And there are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be "ignorant". The result would be that "ignorant" people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try "ignorance", the cost would be even higher.5.What are you going to do at university in order to sample widely and challenge yourself? To sample widely and challenge myself, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and do what I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diversebackgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I will attend lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Words in use1.

Her work is noteworthy for its examination of the conflict between the desire for family and relationship and that for career and self-determination.1These days so many marriages end in divorce that our most sacred vows no longer ring with truth. “ Happily ever after”and “Till death us do part” are expressions that seem on the way to becoming obsolete. Why has it become so hard for couples to stay together? What goes wrong? What has happened to us that close to one half of all marriages are destined for the divorce courts? How could we have created a society in which 42 percent of our children will grow up in single-parent homes? If statistics could only measure loneliness, regret, pain , lose of self-confidence, and fear of the future, the numbers would be beyond quantifying.2 Even though each broken marriage is unique, we can still find common perils,common cause of marital despair. Each marriage has a crisis point and each marriage tests endurance, the capacity for both intimacy and change. Outsidepressures such as job loss, illness, infertility, trouble with a child, care of aging parents, and all the other plagues of life hit marriages the way hurricanes blast our shores. Some marriages survive these storms, and others don’t. Marriages fail , however, not simply because of the outside weather but because the inner climate becomes too hot or too cold, too turbulent or too stupefying.3 When we look at how we choose our partners and what expectations exist at the tender beginning of romance, some of the reasons for the disaster become quite clear. We all select with unconscious accuracy a mate who will recreate with us the emotional pattern of our first homes. Dr. Cart A. Whitaker, a marital therapist and emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin, explains, “From early childhood on, each of us carried models for marriage, femininity,masculinity, motherhood, father hood and all the other family roles. “ Each of us falls in love with a mate who has qualities of our parents, who will help us rediscover both the psychological happiness and miseries of our past lives. We may think we have found a man unlike Dad, but the he turns to drink or drugs, or lose his job over and over again, or sits silently in front of the TV just the way Dad did. A man many choose a woman who doesn’t like kids just like his mother, or who gambles ways the family saving just like his mother, or he may choose a slender wife who seems unlike his obese mother but hen turns out to have other addictions that destroy their mutual happiness.4 A man and a woman bring to their marriage bed a blended concoction of conscious and unconscious memories of their parents’ lives together. The human way is to compulsively repeat and recreate the patterns of the past. Sigmund Freud so well described the unhappy design that many of us get trapped in: the unmet needs of childhood, the angry feelings left over from frustration of long ago, the limits of trust, and the reoccurrence of old fears. Once an individual senses this entrapment, there may follow a yearning to escape, and the result could be a broken, splintered marriage.5 Of course people can overcome the habits and attitudes that developed in childhood. We all have hidden strengths and amazing capacities for growth and creative change. Change, however, requires work---observing your part in a rotten pattern, bringing difficulties out into the open--- and work runs counter to the basic myth of marriage: “When I wed this person all my problems will be over. I will have achieved success and I will become the center of life for this other person and this person will be my center, and we will mean everything to each other forever.” This myth, which every marriage relies on, is soon exposed. The coming of children, the pull and tugs of their demands on affection and time, place a considerable strain on that basic myth of meaning everything to each other, ofmerging together and solving all of life’s problems.6 Concern and tension about money take each partner away from the other. Obligations to demanding parents or still-depended-upon parents create further strain. Couples today must also deal with all the cultural changes brought on in recent years by the women’s movement and the sexual revolution. The altering of roles and the shifting of responsibilities have been extremely trying for many marriages.7 These and other realities of life erode the visions of marital bless the way sandstorms eat at rock and the ocean nibbles away at the dunes. Those euphoric, grand feelings that accompany romantic love are really self-delusions, self-hypnotic dreams that enable us to forge a relationship. Real life, failure at work, disappointments, exhaustion, bad smells, bad colds and hard times all puncture the dream and leave us stranded with our mate, with our childhood patterns pushing us this way and that, and with our unfulfilled expectations.8 The struggle to survive in marriage requires adaptability, flexibility, genuine love and kindness, and an imagination strong enough to feel what the other is feeling. Many marriages fall apart because either partner cannot imagine what the other wants or cannot communicated what he or she needs or feels. Anger builds until it erupts into a volcanic burst that buries the marriage in ash.9 If we sense from our mate a need for too much intimacy, we tend to push him or her away, fearing that we may lose our identities in the merging of marriage. One partner may suffocate the other partner in a childlike dependency. A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn’t easy. Richard gives up his interest in carpentry because his wife, Helen, is jealous of the time he spends away from her. Karen quite the choir group because her husband dislikes the friends she makes there. Each pair clings to each other and is angry with each other as life closes in on them. This kind of marital balance is easily thrown as one or the other pulls away and divorce follows.10 Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one’s fantasies, some of one’s legitimate desires have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. “While all marital partners feel shackled at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or supporting bonds, “says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial, and emotional discipline. A man and a womancannot follow every impulse, cannot allow themselves to stop growing or changing.11 Divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be, despite its initial devastation, like the first cut of the surgeon’s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partner can stay past the breaking-up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself.NotesDr. Cart A.

Good friends can bring us joy, comfort, and support when we need it most. At the same time, toxic or unhealthy relationships can be emotionally draining and harmful to our well-being. Therefore, it’s important to choose our friends wisely and develop strong, positive relationships that will last a lifetime.Qualities that make a good friend include loyalty, honesty, kindness, and a good sense of humor. A true friend will stand by our side through thick and thin, and will be there to offer a listening ear, a helping hand, or a shoulder to cry on. They will also be honest with us, even if it’s not what we want to hear, and will respect our boundaries and individuality.However, friendships can change or end for a variety of reasons, such as different interests or goals, conflicts, or lack of communication. Losing a friend can be difficult and painful, but it’s important to remember the good times we shared and move on. Moreover, we can learn valuable lessons from our experiences, including how to improve our communication skills, and set boundaries and expectations in our relationships.One of the most special and memorable friendships I’ve had was with a girl named Lily, whom I met in high school. We bonded over our love of books and music, and spent countless hours discussing our favorite artists and authors. We also enjoyed going to concerts and festivals together, and exploring new cafes and bookstores in the city. Although we now live in different parts of the country and have different careers and lifestyles, we still keep in touch and support each other in our endeavors.For those who are struggling to make friends, my advice would be to be yourself, and not try to change your personality or interests to fit in with others. It’s also important to put yourself out there and join clubs, groups, or organizations that match your interests, and to be open to meeting new people from different backgrounds and cultures. Finally, remember that friendship is a two-way street, and requires effort, time, and patience to develop and maintain a strong bond.In conclusion, friendship is an essential part of our lives and can bring us immense joy and happiness. By cultivating positive relationships based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding, we can lead richer and more fulfilling lives, and create a world filled with love and compassion.。

Here it refers to all the McDonald’s restaurants.3...the building is now in danger of being destroyed , along with their memories.Meaning: The first McDonald’s restaurant is now facing the possibility of being torn down.Together with the disappearance of the building, people’s good memories about it would be rouined too.Notice the sentence could be rewritten as “ ...the building, along with their memories, is now in danger of being destroyed. “4.Building inspectors , on the other hand, say that the structure can be repaired, but thatit will be expensive.Meaning: However,officials who inspect buildings say that it is possible to fix the building, but they also say that the repair will cost a lot of money.Notice the two clauses “that the structure...”and “that it will...”are both objects of “say”“that” in the second clause should not be omitted.5. To local historians, this explanation makes total sense.Meaning: To those who study the history of this region, this saying is reasonable.Notice here “explanation” refers to “many people in Downey think McDonald’s is trying to change history”.6. Even so, people drive by to remember their McDonald’s, taking pictures of a moment inhistory before it gets taken away.Meaning: Although the windows of the restaurant are covered with boards, people still stop by to visit their McDonald’s when driving past it. They take pictures to record a time in history before the restaurant is gone.The structure of Text A:The whole text is made up of three parts: Introduction, Body and Conclusion, whose component paragraphs and main ideas are shown in the following chart:Homework:Recite the words and phrases of Section A and preview Section C.Section C Practical WritingIn this section, the students are supposed to have a clear understanding of the following points:1.

新视野大学英语(第三版)读写教程第一册Unit1教案及课后答案
Unit 1 Fresh StartSection AIn fact all the pieces of advice mentioned in the interview are very useful. But if I have to choose one as the most useful, I'd choose "keep a balance". When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It's important to keep a balance between life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2.What advice did your parents give you before you left for college?Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Reading comprehension1.According to the president, what did the parents remind their children to do before theyleft for college?The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2.What does the president call on the students to do with the greatest resources oncampus?The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3.What does the president mean when he says "sample them widely" (Para. 5)?By saying "sample them widely", the president means students should try many different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4.What could be the consequences if you don't challenge yourself?If we don't challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5.What can you learn from the example of Vera Wang?We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves, and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don't know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6.How should you deal with new and unpleasant experiences in college?We should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons and will enrich our life.7.How do you understand "Now it is your turn" (Para. 7)?The expression "Now it is your turn" means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8.How does the president's speech impress you?The president's welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life, the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities that we should take. The speech is very inspiring.1. What role do you think a university education will play in your life?A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a number of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop my critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2.Do you think a university education can change a person's life? In what way and why? Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and therefore more choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.How do you think about those successful people such as Bill Gates who dropped out ofuniversity?I admire those who dropped out of university and yet had made fame for themselves by achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4.How do you understand the statement "If you think education is expensive, tryignorance"?Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. And there are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be "ignorant". The result would be that "ignorant" people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try "ignorance", the cost would be even higher.5.What are you going to do at university in order to sample widely and challenge yourself? To sample widely and challenge myself, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and do what I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diversebackgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I will attend lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Words in use1.

Unit 1Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningPlease listen to a short passage carefully and prepare to answer some questions.Second ListeningListen to the tape again. Then answer the following questions with your own experiences.1) What precious resource do Americans value and save?2) What are the three kinds of behaviors that Americans consider to be a waste of time?3) In what different ways do Americans approach time in business relations?Time-Conscious AmericansAmericans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor."We are slaves to nothing but the clock," it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person's hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain appropriate point.Many new arrivals to the States will miss the opening exchanges of a business call, for example. They will miss the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a restaurant or coffee house. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over extended small talk; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. Time is, therefore, always ticking in our inner ear.Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer —especially given our traffic-filled streets. We, therefore, save most personal visiting for after-work hours or for social weekend gatherings.To us the impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand. In some countries no major business is conducted without eye contact, requiring face-to-face conversation. In America, too, a final agreement will normally be signed in person. However, people are meeting increasingly on television screens, conducting "teleconferences" to settle problems not only in this country but also — by satellite — internationally.The U. S. is definitely a telephone country. Almost everyone uses the telephone to conduct business, to chat with friends, to make or break social appointments, to say "Thank you", to shop and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones save the feet and endless amounts of time. This is due partly to the fact that the telephone service is superb here, whereas the postal service is less efficient.Some new arrivals will come from cultures where it is considered impolite to work too quickly. Unless a certain amount of time is allowed to elapse, it seems in their eyes as if the task being considered were insignificant, not worthy of proper respect. Assignments are, consequently, felt to be given added weight by the passage of time. In the U. S., however, it is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with speed. Usually, the more important a task is, the more capital, energy, and attention will be poured into it in order to "get it moving".Words: 689NEW WORDSbudgetn.

Language Points 3 A foreigner’s first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush – often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else ―wasting‖ it beyond a certain appropriate point.

Background Information
It was named after John Harvard, a young clergyman from Southwark, Surrey, an alumnus of the University of Cambridge, who bequeathed the College his library of four hundred books and £ (which was half of his estate), 779 assuring its continued operation. During his 40-year tenure as Harvard president (1869– 1909), Charles William Eliot radically transformed Harvard into the pattern of the modern research university. Eliot’s reforms included elective courses, small classes, and entrance examinations. The Harvard model influenced American education nationally, at both college and secondary levels.
Established in 1636 by the colonial Massachusetts legislature, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and currently comprises ten separate academic units. It was also the first corporation chartered in the United States.
