Tell some information on the current situation of women’s liberat ion and find some examples to support your idea.Suggested answers: Women are supporting one another, standing side by side, “toe to toe”, but they still have a long way to go. They are only in the early stages of their struggle to get what they want and to get men to change their ideas. They can do scientific miracles, fight for their dreams by overcoming difficulties with their own hand, even support a family regardless of the husbands.2. Preview Text A and summarize the main idea, then finish the exercise about the text structure on page 184 about the structure of the text and summarize the main idea of each part.Suggested answers: See Part III. Structure and Main IdeaTeaching Objectives:Students will be able to:1.grasp the main idea and structure of the text;2.appreciate how the author achieves coherence for her essay;3.master key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of theunit.Periods 1 and 2 (90 minutes)I. Cultural Notes (15 minutes)T asks Ss to tell how much they know about The Brooklyn Bridge and Feminism, then shares them the following information.A. The Brooklyn Bridge(5 minutes)小练习：T reads the following paragraph once and asks Ss to fill in the blanks.The Brooklyn Bridge: the bridge over the East River in New York City that connects Manhattan with Brooklyn. It was opened in 1 and has a 2 of 1595 feet (486meters). The Brooklyn Bridge is considered a 3 of 19th-century engineering and a bridge of many firsts. It was the first 4 bridge to use steel for its cable wire; it was the first bridge to use explosives in a dangerous underwater device called a caisson. The expression selling the Brooklyn Bridge to somebody means 5 .Suggested answers: 1. 1883 2. length 3. brilliant feat 4. suspension5. tricking them in a dealB.Feminism: (5 minutes)In the 1960s feminism (= the belief that women and men are equal in abilities and should have equal rights and opportunities) became the subject of intense debate when the women’s liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay. It is widely accepted by younger people that women should, if they wish, be allowed to develop their careers and not give up work when they have a family. Feminism has brought about many changes in the English language. Many words for job titles that included “man” have been replaced, for example “police officer” is used instead of “policeman” and “chairperson” for “chainman”. “He” is now rarely used to refer to a person when the person could be either a man or a woman. T he title “Ms” is used for womeninstead of “Miss” or “Mrs.”, since it does not show whether a woman is married or not.C. John Milton (1608-1674): (5 minutes)English poet, whose rich, dense verse was a powerful influence on succeeding English poets, and whose prose was devoted to the defense of civil and religious liberty. Milton is often considered the greatest English poet after Shakespeare. His masterpiece, Paradise Lost, is considered unsurpassed among English epic poems. It is a powerfully imaginative and dramatic work, based in part on the biblical story of the temptation and fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.II. Introductory Words (10 minutes)You may all know the well-noted female professor in our university --- DongYajuan(董雅娟)，who succeeded in cloning cows. You may also know the mother college student（妈妈大学生）on the campus, who studies here while she has to take care of her baby after class. You may have watched the TV series《当家的女人》. With great efforts, the heroine in the TV series managed to bring the poor family to a well-off one and she herself became a famous local leader.How do you think women like them? From them you may find women today are extremely independent . They can do scientific miracles, fight for their dreams by overcoming difficulties with their own hand, even support a family regardless of the husbands. In one word, women today are capable of holding up half the sky.In this unit, we’ll learn two stories of this kind. Text A focuses on how the belief in superwoman encourages average women to achieve their goals. Text B tells a woman at her age of 29 quitted her job and bean anew by returning back to school and finally realized her dream and started her new career.Next let’s focus on Text A.(Notes: Here Ts may also introduce the text by leading Ss to discuss some of the following questions:1. Do you think male and female graduates from your college have the same job opportunities? Suggested answer: The male graduates have more opportunities. On some occasions, female graduates are definitely refused.2. If you are married, would you prefer your wife to pursue her career or take good care of the family? Why?Suggested answers: I prefer my wife to pursue her career because women and men are equal in abilities and should have equal rights and opportunities to do their jobs.I prefer my wife to take good care of my family because the wife’s job is just to take care of her husband, cook meals for him, watch clothes for him, clean the house for him, bear babies for him.3. What do you think of President Mao’s famous saying that women hold up half the sky? Suggested answer: Nowadays, everyone may find women today are extremely independent . They can do scientific miracles, fight for their dreams by overcoming difficulties with their own hand, even support a family regardless of the husbands. There are more and more female house buyers so the housing market witnesses a She-Era. Examples of this kind are endless. In one word, women today are capable of holding up half the sky.)III. Structure and Main Idea (40 minutes)T may illustrate the structure with the following graph:The above graph shows: Despite her friend’s advice, the author, unable to resist the temptation, falls for superwoman stories again. One day, she meets a superwoman face to face and her encounter influences her a lot. She thinks a lot and analyzes what prevents her from becoming a superwoman herself. The factors are such as: she is unable to get an act together, she almost expects things to go wrong as soon as she sets to work, anything on the schedule will take up much more of time set aside, she usually feels exhausted after a busy day and never thinks about doing more. But she is still fascinated by modern superwoman tales. After her analysis, she comes to the conclusion that to her, admiring a heroine is something worth doing.According to the graph and the exercise on page 184, the text can be divided into five parts: Array IV. Detailed Explanation of Each PartParas 1-3 (15 minutes)T asks Ss at random to answer the following questions:1. According to the first two paragraphs, why did a friend say “if I believed everything in the report, she had a bridge in Brooklyn she'd like to sell me.”?Because the friend thought the stories reported about superwomen were not true and never happened, so it was impossible for women to succeed both in jobs and family life.2. what does the term “a bridge in Brooklyn” mean according to your understanding?It refers to an incredible story, something impossible.V. Homework:(10 minutes)1. Reread the text carefully and understand the following sentences according to the context:Since my own schedule rarely succeeds, her accomplishments fill me with equal amounts of wonder and guilt.(Para 4)I should have known better than to ask. (Para 6)If I create schedules of military precision in which several afternoon hours are given over to the writing of the Great American Novel, the school nurse is sure to phone at exactly the moment I put pencil to paper. (Para 9)Despite my friend's warning against being taken in, despite everything I've learned, I find that I'm not only willing, but positively eager to buy that bridge she mentioned. (Para 12)Then I'll tell her a story: the tale of a woman who bought her own version of that bridge in Brooklyn and found that it was a wise investment after all.( Para 15)2. Finish Comprehensive Exercise on page 192.Periods 3 and 4 (90 minutes)I. 小练习：Listen to the passage (T may read it ) and answer the questions that follow.(10 minutes)The most commonly granted degrees in the U.S. are the B.A., or bachelor of arts, and the B.S., or bachelor of science, both given generally after the completion of a 4-year course of study and sometimes followed by a mark of excellence. The master's degree is granted after one or two years of postgraduate work and may require the writing of a thesis or dissertation. The doctorate requires two to five years of postgraduate work, the writing of a thesis, and the passing of oral and written examinations. In the mid-1990s U.S. institutions of higher learning annually granted about 1.2 million bachelor's degrees, some 387,000 master's degrees, and 43,000 doctor's degrees.1.what are the most commonly granted degrees in the U.S.?The most commonly granted degrees in the U.S. are the B.A., or bachelor of arts, and the B.S., or bachelor of science.2.

How many master's degrees were granted annually in the mid-1990s U.S.?In the mid-1990s U.S. institutions of higher learning annually granted some 387,000 master's degrees.II. Detailed Explanation of Each Part (60 minutes)Paras 4-7A. Paraphrase the following sentences:T asks Ss at random to paraphrase the following sentences:1. Since my own schedule rarely succeeds, her accomplishments fill me with equal amounts of wonder and guilt.Because I seldom do based on my own schedule, I feel sense of guilt as much as I am amazed at her accomplishments.2. I should have known better than to ask.I should have known the answer so it was unnecessary to ask.3. Other women, it seemed to say, are movers and shakers — not only during office hours, but in their spare time as well.

If I create schedules of military precision in which several afternoon hours are given over to the writing of the Great American Novel, the school nurse is sure to phone at exactly the moment I put pencil to paper.If I make schedules precise like military plans, in which I will spend several afternoon hours on the writing of the Great American Novel, I will be surely interrupted by the school nurse who phones me at exactly the moment I start to write.Metaphor is used in the phrase “schedules of military precision”. It means schedules as precise as military plans.2. In fact, I waste a good deal of my spare time just worrying about what other women are accomplishing in theirs.In fact, a lot of spare time I waste is just spent on worrying about what accomplishment other women achieve in their spare time.B. Be familiar with Get + infinitiveGet + infinitive is often used to mean one has the opportunity to do something or is allowed to do it.e.g. We didn’t get to see her --- she was too busy.I got to know the principal of the university when I translate materials for him.With an infinitive,get can also mean on gradually acquires something or gradually becomes aware of something.e.g. You will get to speak English more easily as time goes by.He is nice when you get to know him.Paras 12-14, para 15T arranges Ss into several groups and asks the following question:Can you underline sentences containing the word “bridge” and explain them?1.

-- Dante, Italian poet --意大利诗人但丁Pre-reading task:1.How do you understand the title of Text A－Writing For Myself?2.Why did Baker enjoy writing “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”?First PeriodPart one: Listening task (10m)Listen to the passage and answer the following questions:Next week, Max is going on a business trip. He’s going to fly to London from San Francisco. He tried to buy airplane tickets last week but the flight was full. Yesterday his travel agent called and told him there was space on the flight. He’s going to get the tickets in a mail tomorrow.Questions:1. What is Max going to do next week? (He’s going on a business trip next week.)2. Is he going to Sa n Francisco? (No, he’s going to fly to London.)3. Why could he not buy the tickets last week? (Because the flight was full.)4. Who helped him with the tickets? (His travel agent)5. Can he get his tickets today? (No, he can’t. He’s going to get the ticke ts tomorrow.)Part two: Review task(20m):How to understand the title－Writing For Myself? (para5)Look at the title of Text A, then find out in which paragraph a similar phrase appears. Read that paragraph carefully and explain in your own words what the author means by saying “write for myself”.Usually we will write the compositions in the light of all the rules given by teacher and do not dare to violate these rules. So in some sense we write the compositions for teachers. But Baker want to put down or write down the warmth and good feeling of eating spaghetti for himself, and relive and recapture the pleasure of that evening, even though Fleagle would give him a failing grade.Why did Baker enjoy writing “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”?(para3-4)Fleagle distributed a homework sheet with some simple-minded and dull topics, so Baker did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Finally Baker faced up to the unwelcome task and scanned it and chose the title The Art of Eating Spaghetti. This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville when all of us were seated around the supper table.All the good humor of Uncle Allen’s house reawoke in my mind as I recalled the laughing arguments we had that night about the socially respectable method for moving spaghetti from plate to mouth.Part three: Cultural Notes (10m)1. Spaghetti（意大利式细面条）It is the Italian-style thin noodles. Unlike some Chinese noodles, it is usually served with sauce, not in soupand it will never taste pulpy (多汁的).2. What is the right way of eating spaghetti ?Spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cooked by boiling and served with sauce. Usually you would put a fork into a plate of spaghetti, turn the fork several times so that spaghetti will wind around the fork, then place the fork into your mouth. It’s impolite to suck.3.

According to Baker’s essay: The Art of Eating Spaghetti, talk about the essence of the essay. Whatis essay? How to write essay?According to Baker’s essay, we know that a good essay is the reflection of writer’s true feelings not the repetion of all the rules of formal composition. Writer writes simply for his own joy and pleasure not for teachers, recapture and relive the author’s true feelings. So the essence of good essay is to write that one enjoys writing about. This is what the title Writing For Myself means. This is the essence of essay. (see para.5)2. Analysis of writing skills of essayAccording to Text A, the essay is, in a sense, an account of what once happened to you in your life. Writing of this kind usually takes the form of narration with some facts and arguments and some expressions of the author’s feelings. Text A is written according to time clues.2.1 Look for some arguments and supporting details for Baker to support his opinions, and paraphrase these arguments.Argument 1 (para1)The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn’t until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. (I was bored by everything connected with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.)Argument 2 (para2)When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. (He had a reputation among students for dullness and not arousing students’ inspiration. He was said to be formal, rigid, and out of fashion/outdated. I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr. Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed.)Argument 3 (para4)This title produced an extraordinary sequence of mental images. (Vivid memories came flooding back of a night in Belleville. We were seated around the supper table, we argue about the socially respectable method for eating spaghetti, we laughed cheerly.)2.2 Ask students to look for some sentences for Baker to express his feelings and translate these sentences into Chinese.－Until then I’d been bored by everything associated with English courses. (para1)－I prepared for an unfruitful year with Mr.Fleagle and for a long time was not disappointed(desperate ). (para3)－suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for muself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I’d learned in school.(para5)－I did my best to avoid showing pleasure, but what I was feelling was pure delight at this demonstration that my words had the power to make people laugh.(para9)2.3 Ask students to look for the time clues in text A and retell the storysuggested answer:Since my childhood in Belleville I haven’t dreamed becoming a writer, until my third year in high school the possibility of the idea took hold. Until then I was bored by everything related to English classes. When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Late in the year we tackled the informal essay, Fleagle assigned an essay to us. Until the night before the essay was due I did nothing, but I finally faced up to the unwelcome task. When I finished writing the essay, the night was half gone and there was no time left to compose a proper and respectable essay for Fleagle. Next morning I had to turn in my tale. Two days passed Fleagle returned everyone’s but mine. When I saw him lift my paper from his desk and knock for the class’s attention I was preparing myself for a command to report to him immediately after school for discipline. When Mr. Fleagle finished, he said that this is the essence of the essay. Congratulations on your writing, Mr. Baker.Part four: Useful Expressions(15m)Translate the below useful expressions into English(teacher tell students these Chinese expressions and let students find the English expressions from the Text A)!1. 断断续续(off and on)2. 对…感到腻味(be bored by ...)3. 觉得…枯燥难懂(find ... dull and difficult)4. 以…而出名(have a reputation for...)5. 据说某人…(sb. be said to be ...)6. 拘谨刻板，落后于时代(formal, rigid and out-of-date)7. 随笔小品文(an informal essay)8. 躺在沙发上(lie on a sofa)9. 不得不面对…(face up to ...)10. 围坐在晚餐桌旁(be seated around the supper table) 11. …重现在我脑海中(... reawake in my mind)12. 自得其乐(for my own joy) 13. 违反规定(violate the rules)14. 不及格分(a failing grade) 15. 别无选择，只好做…(There is no choice but to do...)16. 更不可思议的是(what’s more) 17. 专心听讲(listen attentively)18. 乐乎乎地开怀大笑(laugh with open-hearted enjoyment) 19. 心花怒放(pure delight)20. 最后的时刻(at the eleventh hour)Part five: homework(5m)1.Find out the synonymous words and phrases from Text Afor the words and phrases below.dull (L. 4): bored, lifeless, cheerless, tedious turn out (L. 5): compose, put downanticipate (L. 8): prepare for formal (L.10): rigid, prim, correct, proper, respectablerecapture (L. 35): relive contempt (L. 52): ridicule2.

Did t he author’s attitude towards reading changed later?3. How did the author like what Mr. Ballou had given to him?4. What’s the conclusion of this author?Third PeriodPart one: review task : task 1 (task 2 will be handled when the structure of Text B is analyzed) (10m) Part two: Error Correction (15m)Directions: Look carefully at the passage and correct the mistakes. And then underline the words and phrases you’ve just learned.The sight of the picture always associated me to(with) my childhood. Life in school was tideous(tedious) and dull.Discipline(disciplines) from the rigid teachers were unavoidable for any violation out of(of) their commands. However(what’s more), nothing could inspire us to face up with(face up to) the hopless(hopeless) life.Part three(20m): Group Discussion1. What do you learn from the story?(No matter what difficulties we encounter in the future, we should face up to them and try our best to conquer them. We should learn from Baker to dare to write a good essay for his own joy not for Fleagle, that is to say, we should dare to challenge the rules of formal compositions not only obey them, we should learn his spirit to challenge authority. We should believe in our abilities to deal with the difficult problems just as Baker wrote a good essay by himself and got teacher’s appreciation finally. )2．Is there any unforgettable experience during your growing up? What is it? Why? How do you succeed and how do you overcome you failures?We all hope we will experience all the good things in life, such as the happiness of realizing our dreams, the joy of feeling worthwhile, and the satisfaction of knowing we’ve succeeded. Indeed, we cannot always hope to embrace success and never accept failure. And most importantly, only if we learn from many a failure can we do things better and finally overcome such a bad feeling as frustration. It is the part ou our life experience. In our process of growing up, we may inevitably experience it when confronted with situations that don’t come up to our expectations. It is a test of our courage when it befalls us. If we let it controls us, we may fall into sadness. But if we conquer it, it will become our source of inspiration, we may ultimately enjoy the glory of success.3. Summary of text AAs students when we are writing we are often told to keep our readers and teachers in mind, to shape what we say to fit their tastes and interests. So Baker is very confused and does not know how to finish an essay when Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet offering a choice of topics. But there is one reader in particular who should not be forgotten, that is the writer himself. Baker discovered this point. And finally finished the essay writing by putting down the happy memories for himself and obtained the teacher and classmates’ appreciation.Part four: Structure of Text B( 40m)I. Structural Chart of Text B:II. Questions that could guide the students to understand the structure of Text B.1. When did the story take place?

The author thought that Mr. Ballou was poor but polite at first.(Para.2 “ Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door.” “I figured him for a thin retiremen t check.” “Grass was grass, and the little that Mr.Ballou’s property comprised didn’t take long to trim.”(Poor)Para.2 “ …always waving or tipping his hat when he’d see me from a distance…” (Polite))4.

What was the attitude of the author towards reading books before he went into Mr. Ballou’s house?He just read what was in front of him, i.e. he just read randomly for entertainment, and he even didn’t know what were his favorites, none of the books or magazines he read before had any impressions on his memories. (Para. 9 “ I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal…”)6. Did the author’s attitude towards reading changed later? When?Yes, his attitude towards reading changed later. In the evening of the day on which he got the book t itled “ The Last of the Just” from Mr. Ballou, he began to read seriously and absorbedly, this book attracted him and impressed him deeply.(Para.16 “ Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil.”Para.17 “ To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience.

Mr. Ballou encouraged me to choose some books to read, but I didn’t know what I want at all. So, Mr. Ballou helped to choose one book for me through a careful consideration. I started after supper. Within a few pages, I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentrated power a novel could contain.

Primate Shell Game Sometimes evidence of intelligence can be seen in attempts to deceive. Zoo keeper Helen Shewman of Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo recalls that one day she dropped an orange through a feeding hole for Melati, an orangutan. Instead of moving away to get it, Melati looked Shewman in the eye and held out her hand. Thinking the orange must have rolled off somewhere inaccessible, Shewman gave her another one. But when Melati moved off, Shewman noticed the original orange was hidden in her other hand. Towan, the colony's dominant male, watched this whole trick, and the next day he, too, looked Shewman in the eye and pretended that he had not yet received an orange. "Are you sure you don't have one?" Shewman asked. He continued to hold her gaze steadily and held out his hand. Giving in, she gave him another one, then saw that he had been hiding his orange underneath his foot. What is intelligence anyway? If life is about survival of a species — and intelligence is meant to serve that survival — then we can't compare with pea-brained sea turtles, which were here long before us and survived the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs. Still, it is comforting to realize that other species besides our own can stand back and assess the world around them, even if their horizons are more limited than ours. (928 words)

Upon his death in 1638, the young minister left his library and half his estate to the new College. In 1639, in recognition of John Harvard's bequest, the Great and General Court ordered "that the colledge agreed upon formerly to be built at Cambridg shalbee called Harvard Colledge." Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the College has grown from 9 students with a single Master into a University with an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates.1.

It was originally known as The Henley Centre for Forecasting, with a focus on business forecasting.

Check the preview work (ask several students to tell the phenomena they collected of the modern life) 30minsSuggested answer:First, all people nowadays seems to be too much in a rush to spare enough time for one another. The pace of life is so high in this society that we have no time and energy to enjoy the sunshine every day. We are busy doing important businesses and working or buying houses. Time always seems to be limited and not sufficient at all. As a result almost all people feel the pressure of time. It seems that all the things in life is necessary and important for us to do that we can’t spare even half an hour to enjoy the warm sunshine outside. Second, science and technology plays a rather important part in our life, which on the one hand makes our life comfortable and convenient, but on the other hand makes our human beings develop a kind of abnormal dependence on modern scientific products. For example, we carry mobile phones to keep in touch with others, without it we may feel isolated and helpless. Third, more and more people complain that they are under a large amount of stress from work, study or simply from life. According to surveys many people feel exhausted, frustrated and even depressed.Teacher may sums up and leads into the Text by saying:True as the pace of our life is quickening ever faster, we all seem to be so busy, we seem forever on the go. Many people would ask: how are we to cope with so many things in so little time? But have you ever reflected on the reasons why we become so? Why we become so time pressed? What's the crux and is there any solution to prevent "old father Time becomes a terror"? Now, in the following periods we will see our author Richard Tomkins’ explanation. To begin with, we’ll see the organization of his writing.III. Analysis of the text structure 25minsIn many ways we can see that this piece is a rather persuasive argumentative paper, which much probably can be found in the editorial or comment section where journalists and others contribute regular or occasional columns reflecting on topical issues. Here in the initial part (paragraph 1-11), first by pointing out that we were wrongly estimated we would have more spare time with the help of technology, the writer proposes the problem of the pressure of time and present three reasons why we feel so time-pressed nowadays. Then in the second part (paragraph 12-18), the author goes on to concede that not everybody is affected to the same extent, that is, an exception: not everyone is time-stressed, and in the case of Americans they have actually gained more free time in the past decade. Next comes to the third part (paragraph 19-23), in which our author percepts a variety of reactions triggered by the time-famine. Finally in the last part (paragraph 24-28) the author pins down the crux of the problem and puts forwards a remedy for the stress we feel.(Note: in another way, our teacher can take the following form---ask student to fill the blanksIV1. Read part one carefully after class, and then find out the reasons why people feel time-pressedtoday.2. Summarize how the author lists facts to convince us of the unfavorable effects technology hashad on our lives.3. Read part three and underline the reactions provoked by time-famine.4. Try to list all writing skills employed in the text, such as quotations, figures, etc.Second periodExercise 15minsDictation:As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body, but stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.Detailed Text Analysis: 70minsI. Part One 35minsStudents scan part I and then answer the following questions:1. What are the reasons that cause people feel time pressed today?Answer: 1) technology (paragraph 2 " But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us.")2) Information exploration (paragraph 7 "Technology apart, the Internet points the way toa second reason why we feel so time-pressed: the information exploration."3) Rising prosperity (paragraph 11 "There is another reason for our increasing time stresslevels, too: rising prosperity.")2. According to the author, has technology made our lives easier or more burdensome? Howmany facts does the author list in order to convince his readers?Answer: According to the author, technology has made our lives more burdensome. Apart from cramming work into our leisure time, it has also provided us with new burden such as spending hours in fixing software glitches on computers and filling our heads with useless information from the Internet.Facts are valuable as evidence that enhances the persuasive force of an argumentative paper. In the text, the author lists a number of facts to try to convince the readers of the unfavorable effects technology has had on our lives.Supporting facts in part one:1) The motorcar brings more traffic problems than it promises to solve.2) The air craft creates a high demand for time-consuming journeys that we neverdreamed of.3) The washing machine, contrary to our expectations, multiplies the hours spent on washingand ironing.4) Instead of making our lives easier, technology goes so far as to cram extra work into ourleisure time.5) Technology produces the new burden of dealing with faxes, e-mails and voicemails.6) Technology eats further into our time by forcing us to handle software glitches oncomputers and filling our heads with useless information from the Internet.3. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force of the author's arguments in partone?Answer: i. Compare and contrast:para 1 & 2---technology, not liberated us but has enslaved us.para 8 & 9and10---through figures, we see the contrast between old days and new time,that is, why we say the information exploded.ii. Facts and examples to illustrate one's view:eg. In part one, there are a number of facts were listed to illustrate the unfavorable effects technology has had on our lives.(see Question 2 above)4. Language study in this part:on the go, cope with, set about sth./doing sth.(no passive), a large quantity of, free from, eat into, in reality, pour in, a handful of, amount to, stress (on), prosperity, oblige, oblige(sb.)(with sth./by doing sth.) abundance, in abundance, abundance of, confusion.II. Part Two15minIn this part the author displays his familiarity with the complexity of the problem, so he makes a concession, pointing out the exception: Not everyone is time-pressed, and Americans have actually gained more free time in the past decade. The following questions are for students to know this part better.1. What is "stress envy"? What do you think are the possible sociological motivations behind it? Answer: "If you're not stressed, you're not succeeding. Everyone wants to have a little bit of this stress to show they're an important person." (Paragraph 14) / In other words, feeling time stressed can bring a kind of sense of importance of oneself. This has its sociological motivations; maybe it is because people think only person of importance will have many things to deal with, and therefore will feel time starved. Or, generally only the people have nothing to do or achieve nothing will not be bothered by time famine. So people have a sense of "stress envy".2. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force in this part?Answer: contrasts and quotations.Take quotation for example:In this part, our author seeks support from the use of quotations from a number of different people, not ordinary one but the well-known ones or experts. These quotations are provided together with the name of the person and background information on them. These details add human interest and support the argument by reference to the utterances of someone who would appear to be in a position to know. Another thing to be notice is, as the quotations record spoken rather than written English, the tone of language is often colloquial, which is rather different from a more purely academic essay.3. Language points in this part:confusion, volunteer, perception, appliance, distribution,III. Part Three 10minsQuestions for students:1. What are the reactions triggered by time famine?Answer: 1) “An attempt to gain the largest possible amount of satisfaction from the smallest possible investment of time.”(para 19)2) “People are also trying to buy time.”(para 21)3) “A third reaction to time famine has been the growth of the work-life debate.”(para 22) 2. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force in this part?Answer: Cause and effect; quotationsTake cause and effect for example: In this text, the pressure of time felt by people is the cause, which arouses a variety of reactions among them. And quotation in this part (para 19&20) was used to prove that people value “quality time” and they become upset when time is wasted.3. Language points in this part:provoke, a variety of, domestic, spring up, futile, divertIV. Part Four 10minsQuestions for students:1. What is the crux of the problem? What about its remedy and the key solution?Answer: The author in the last part (in paragraph 24) pins down the crux of the problem as “the stress we feel arises not from a shortage of time, but from the surfeit of things we try to cram into it.” A successful remedy lies in understanding the problem rather than evading it---the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we should not expect to know everything in this world. The key solution is we human beings should have fewer desires. “W e need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.”2. Language points:a shortage of, switch off, be doomed toV. Homework: 5mins1. Review words and expressions of this Unit2. Prepare a class report on the topic of stress (about 130 words).3. Finish exercises after text A4. Previewing task:1) Read through the text and analyze the text structure;2) Have an after-class discussion on how much pressure we have to stand for in our daily lives.3) Have an optional writing entitled "The Ways We Cope with Time Pressure".Third periodI.Class report (two or three students is ok.)15minsSuggestion: Teacher asks students to rewrite their class report into an essay within 150 words. Suggested passage for teachers:Title: On StressIn our society, almost all people are under various kinds of stress. It is no wonder that stress has been shown to be one of the leading causes of health problems and under high stress conditions for an extended period of time stress can result in serious health problems and even premature death in an individual.While a certain amount of stress is good for a person and builds character, extended stress not only causes health problems but reduced work performance in an individual. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposedto be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivations and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.If we are to survive in an ever-accelerating world, it is imperative that we learn to cope with the increasing pressure of change. If we do not, it is more than probable that we will find ourselves sucked into a downward spiral, desperately trying to manage in an increasing unmanageable world. II.Check of homework, including words and expressions, and our teacher should provide necessary explanation when going through the exercises after Text A 30minsText B Life in the Fast LaneFor Teachers’ leading words for this Text:As the pace of life in today's world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in how can we struggle to save time? And does it make any sense? This text talks about untangling the problem and comes up with the answer.III.Check Ss' previewing work by asking them the following questions :( 10 minutes)---- How does the author state out his topic?---- How does the author challenge the traditional and widely accepted concept of timesaving? Suggested summing up words for Ts:In para1--11, the author states out his topic by listing a large number of facts.In para12-13, the author asks several questions and provides the answers to them, through the questions, the author's viewpoint gets quite persuasive.IV. Then, T asks Ss form groups to discuss the topic-- timesaving :( 25 minutes) In class, Ss can form groups of three or four to discuss and report how they save time in their daily lives. T lists those methods on the blackboard and reminds Ss to keep these methods in mind when they study the text, and see how many of them are mentioned in the text. (25 minutes) Suggested answers:1. Have their breakfast in classroom;2. Listen to the radio while doing their homework;3. Buy some fast or instant food instead of dining in the dining hall;4. Read books on their way to some places by bus. etc.From the methods we adopt in our daily lives, can we achieve such a conclusion: in order to save time, we always try to finish several tasks at the same time, which is also called multitask.Vlead Ss to focus on some topic sentences; therefore, they may grasp the main ideas of each para, which is helpful to the text division and idea grasping.Fourth periodI. Detailed Text Analysis :( 35 minutes)i. Part one: The topic is figured out by listing some phenomena of the fast pace of modern life.1. The author skillfully includes in the first paragraph his feeling on the modern life. Our teachers can first present the following questions to Ss:1) What does the author mean by saying "We are in a rush. We are making haste. A compression of time characterizes many of our lives"?He inclines to say that our lives today are in the fast lane, and everyone has to be quick.2) Why does the author list a large number of facts in para2-11?They are supportive details, which are used to illustrate author's point in para1.Then, T summarizes those details’ importance in the illustration of the topic.2.

Questions and AnswersQ(1)What is a fair weather friend?A(1) A fair weather friend is one who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives.Q(2)How can friend and friendship be defined?Friends(A):A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff（谷壳）and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift (筛，过滤) them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.---------- George Eliot (1819~1880), English novelist(B):A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.- --------- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803~1882), American poet and philosopher(C):A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.----------- Doug Larson (1902~1981), English middle-distance runnerFriendship(A):True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.---------- Charles Caleb Colton (1780~1832), English author and clergyman(B):Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul（天气恶劣的）.--------- Ambrose Bierce (1842~1914), American author and journalist, from The Devil’s Dictionary(C):Friendship is a treasure that always helps us overcome any kind of difficulty.Friendship is a comfort which always understands worries and emotions.Friendship is a blessing because it teaches the way to live.------------ UnknownQ(3)Can you give some examples of great friendship?Marx and EnglesMarx valued Engels’ friendship so highly that he once said he loved and admired his friend very much.

Book one Unit 6 Animal IntelligenceText AThe first time:The first period:I. Preview:1. Let the students be familiar with some important words and phrases in Text A, which will enable them to better understand the text: controversy, encounter, convince, suspicious, blank, relieve, figure out, assess, inaccessible, release, deceive and wipe out.2. Ask the students to search for some information about animal intelligence through Internet or the Encyclopedia while keeping the question in mind that whether animals do have intelligence and what kind of presentation they may show.3. Read Text A in general and paragraph 5&6 in Text B.II. Check the homework left last time when the fifth unit was finished.III. Introductory remarks (Ts’ words):In unit 5, we’ve talked about romance. Of course, it’s about the romance of us human beings. But, do we believe that animals will also fall in love? In this unit, Text B, we have examples showing that animals do have certain affections to the one of the same kind but the opposite sex. As we’ve read paragraphs 5&6 in Text B, the point has been proved in someway.Well, from the stories, we see that animals really have their own way of thinking. But, what animals really think? Do they have intelligence as we do?IV. Check the preview work through discussion:1. What’s the meaning of intelligence? And, what about animal intelligence?→Intelligence refers to the power of perceiving, learning, understanding, and knowing. It also means mental ability.As for animal intelligence, it involves such factors as the ability to learn, to solve new problems, or to create novel solutions to familiar problems and reasoning. The last one means that some animals have the ability to benefit from the experiences of others. That’s what we can find in the third story in Text A, that Towan is clever to do the similar trick as Melati.2. Ask Ss to tell some interesting stories concerning animals’ presentation of intelligence. Here are also two samples.→Story one: My parents once raised a dog named Doudou. One day, my father left his coat behind in the scallion field. Doudou stayed beside the coat until my father returned to the scallion field and looked for his coat. Then, he went home happily together with my father.Story two: Once in Yunnan Province, a boa saved the son of his master from a river.Ts may list some other animal behaviors to arouse the Ss’ interests:E.g.: Bees communicate a food source to other members of the hive by means of various “dancing”.Some other species can communicate by sight, taste or odor, electrical impulse (fish), or touch, and many animals have more than one system.Conclusion: From all above, we find that animals do display intelligence in some areas. Let’s read the text and find more examples of animal intelligence.V. Global reading tasks.The second period: Detailed reading Tasks:Part 1 (paragraphs 1-2)I. Let the students reread the first two paragraphs, and think about the questions:1.What is the traditional way to examine the intelligence of animals?→experiments designed to teach human signs.PS:For example, in one early study, the intelligence level of animals was measured in terms of the human capacities required to perform parallel acts. Such a method led to gross overestimation of intelligence of the animal being studied. (Ts may take this as part of the Background Information.)2.What is the author’s idea?→to observe the animal’s performance for their own purposesII. Difficult Sentences:1. Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animal intelligence than experiments... not when scientists ask them to. (Paragraph 1)------ I want to know if there might be better ways to find out more about animal intelligence than those experiments which are designed to teach human language to animals. Then I realized one thing that seems to be very clear now. If animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking for themselves. Animals will not think very hard when scientists ask them to do so.2. Most do not study animal’s intelligence, but they encounter it, and the lack of it, every day. (Paragraph 2)----- Most of the zookeepers do not research on animal intelligence, but they meet animal intelligence unexpectedly every day. They also meet the situation that animals show little intelligence everyday.3. The stories they tell us reveal what I’m convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animal perform when dealing with capacity and the dominant species on the planet—humans. (Paragraph 2)----- The stories they tell us show something that I believe is a new aspect of animal intelligence. They tell us about the marvelous thinking that animals do when they deal with the situation of being caught and human, the most powerful species on the earth.III. Important Words and expressions:controversy over/about something encounter problems/difficulties/oppositions/resistanceconvince somebody of/to do something do one’s best thinkingserve one’s own proposePart 2 (paragraphs 3-6)I. Reread this part and do the exercises:1. True or false questions:a. Colo’s example indicates that some animals know quite well how to negotiate with the keepers. _T__b. Colo is a good bargainer, and this case shows that animals may really have intelligence. T_c. Mile’s experiment to teach Chantek to share things proves to be a great success. F_→Mile’s experiment to teach Chantek to share things proves to be a great failure.2. Ask the students to fill in the blanks with the information mentioned in this part, esp. the animals’ action. Then figure out the author’s purpose.a. Colo: Broke the key chainAuthor’s purpose:Animals know how to negotiate with people.b. Chantek: 1) Expanded the money supply by breaking plastic chips in two;2) Found pieces of tin foil and tried to make copies of metal chipsAuthor’s purpose: Animals can even handle the moneyIII. Difficult Sentence:Arriving on the scene, Jendry offered Colo some peanuts, only to be met with a blank stare. (Paragraph 3) ----- When she got to the place where Colo was, Jendry gave Colo some peanuts, but here good will was not well accepted and she got a blank stare from Colo.IV. Important Words and Expressions:a blank stare maintain eye contact raised the stakes careful bargainerspend on treats trade one thing for another catch up with somebody/somethingonly to do why (not ) do be suspicious of/aboutHomework: 1. Do the exercises of structure on pages 181&182. (only to do, why do/not do)2. Preview the left part of the text.The second time:Part 3 (paragraphs 7-10)I. Check the homework and go on to the new stories.II. Five minutes are given to the students to finish reading this part; two questions will be put forward.1. What did Orky do in this section?→Allowed somebody to stand on his head to reach up and release the baby2. What can you get from this example?→Animals can assess the situation and make a right decision.III. Difficult sentence:This is true, but I do not think it goes far enough. (Paragraph 7) ----- What behaviorist say is right, but I do not think their explanation helps very much.IV. Important Words and Expressions:in one’s interest make judgments emergency care go wrong assess based onthrive at throw up size up keep steady slide intoPart 4 (Paragraphs 11-12)I. Ask the students to read through this part quickly , then to answer the following questions.1.How did Melati and Towan play the trick on Shewman ?→Melati: Hid an orange in her other hand. Towan:Hid an orange underneath his foot.2.What did the author want to tell us？→Animal intelligence can be seen in their attempts to deceiveII. Let the students do some true or false questions according to Part 3 and Part 4.1.Behaviorists say that animals cooperate with human beings for their own benefit. ( T )ule believed that Orky, a killer whale, was the most intelligent animal she had ever seen. ( F )→Laule believed that Orky, a killer whale, was the most intelligent animal she had ever worked with.3.Some animals’intelligence can be seen in their attempts to deceive. ( T )4.Orky allowed somebody to stand on his head to reach up and release the baby because he had been trained to do so.( F )→Orky let somebody stand on his head to reach up and release the baby, but he had not been trained to do so.5.Animals can learn from each other in playing some tricks. Towan is a good example. ( T )III. Difficult sentence:Instead of moving away to get it, Melati looked Shewman in the eye and held out her hand. (Paragraph 11)------ Melati looked directly and steadily at Shewman without moving away to get it.Part 5 (Paragraph 13)I. While reading this paragraph, think about the function of the last paragraph. How do you understand it?→It concludes the whole passage--- animal intelligence not only exist but also plays a very important role in their survival. II. Difficult sentences:1. If life is about survival of a species---- and intelligence is meant to serve that survival--- then we can’t compare with pea-brained sea turtles, which were here long before us and survived the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs.----- If the purpose of life is to survive and intelligence is for survival, then our intelligence can’t be compared with that of the pea-brained turtle. They were on this earth long before we human beings and they even survived the survived the disaster that destroyed thedinosaurs.2. … even if their horizons are more limited than ours.---- even though they can’t assess the world in the same way as we do because of more limited knowledge and experience.III. Important Words and Expressions in the two parts above:deceive somebody into doing something look somebody in the eye hold outinaccessible (get/have access to somebody/something ) move off hold one’s gaze steadilygive in be meant to do something wipe outPost-reading tasks:Ts may give a general conclusion about the whole text and answer the questions raised by the students.Homework: 1. Review the important words we’ve learned.2. Finish all the exercises in the book.The third time:I. Check the homework and do some exercises:a. Words Dictation:intelligence controversy encounter convince dominant suspicious blank negotiate maintain relieve undertake thrive emergency release evidence deceive survival disaster figure out wipe outb. Paragraph dictation: The following paragraph will be read three times; Ss should listen to the paragraph carefully for the first two times. For the third time, Ss should write down sentence by sentence of what they heard. Then check it.Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have been puzzled over this question for many years. Now they fill in the blank.Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their ways by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these birds circle helplessly, unable to get their ways.II. Deal with the exercises of Text A. (partly & selectively)III. Writing skills:The passages in this unit are expositions. The writing style is not strange to us since we have come to learn about it in Unit Two. The purpose of an exposition is to make something clear to the reader, and its focus is to explain, define and interpret. It is widely used in our daily life. Students’ attention can be directed to some writing techniques of an exposition.1. Using examples to support to a topic. For example, in this article, the author employs the stories of gorilla, three orangutans, and a killer whale to support his point.2. Using transitional devices to make a coherent writing.a. Headings and subheadings provide natural transitions between paragraphs and sections.For example, in this text we have three subheadings for three parts of the main body of the passage. They are: “Let’s Make a Deal”, “Tale of a Whale”, “Primate Shell Game”. The subheading directs readers’attention to another demonstration of animal intelligence.b. Transitional sentences.c. Conjunctions.The sixth periodText B Pre-reading tasksI.Before explaining text B, we will do some listening work together. Listen to the following passage carefully, then, answer the following questions.When lionesses give birth to their young, they usually have three or four cubs to a litter, and stay with them for about two years to protect them from danger when they are tiny, and to teach them the fine art of hunting. They have a very closely-knit family life. But when a lioness has her young she is usually in a very nasty protective disposition. But she is very patient and accommodating towards her cubs. A unique thing about lionesses is that they will nurse cubs from another litter besides their own. They never care less whose cubs they are.II. Ask two Ss to give a report about myquestion left last class. Do animals love each likehuman beings?(hint: some animals do love each other deeplyand faithfully. What’s more, their wooingmethods are even more fantastic. Their devotedaffection is touching to some degree. ) Onepicture about some animals’wooing methodswill be presented to help the Ss have a deepunderstanding of animals’ love.Global-reading tasks (15 minutes )I. Ss are given 10 minutes to finish scanning thetext, to count how many examples arementioned in the text.
