Unit 5Teaching ObjectiveMaster the key words and structures and try to understand the pros and cons of rapid advances in medical science. While a medical break-through in face transplantation is coming true, it has also brought about ethical problems which were previously beyond imagination.Vocabularyagent benefit debate device master prospectbe aware be unlikely tobe unwilling to bring... to realitycarry out get ... to consentin hot demand throw upStructureIt is not (that)... but (that)without..., would be...SkillsHow to identify an author’s purpose in writingTeaching ProceduresLead In Activity; Study of the Text; Study of Words and Phrases; Study of Reading Skills; Study of Practical Reading; Study of Practical WritingI. Lead in1. Ethical Questions Raised by Medical Breakthrough Euthanasia (安乐死)Also called physician assisted suicide or mercy killing, it happens when a patient who can no long bear the pain wishes strongly to die. A physician supplies information and/or the means of committing suicide to the patient, for example, to give him large doses of morphine to control pain. Such doses of painkillers have a dual effect of relieving pain and hastening death. Administering such medication is regarded as ethical in most political jurisdictions and by most medical societies. But such a privilege may be misused by some physicians to purposely kill patients. The following case is the best to illustrate the point.Cloning (克隆)Since Dolly was cloned in 1997 by Ian Wilmut from Roslin Institute, Scotland, the issue of cloning human beings has concerned people. It has been a controversy as to whether it is ethical or moral to clone a human being, since the process of cloning a human is similar to that of cloning the lamb, Dolly.Living Organ Transplantation (活体移植)Transplantation is the transfer of living cells, tissues, or organs from one person to another or from one part of the body to another. Tissues or organs come from a donor. A donor can be a living person or a person who has recently died. Tissues and organs from a living donor are preferable because with these transplantation is more likely to be successful. However, some organs, such as the heart, obviouslycannot be taken from a living donor. Face can also be transplanted. Facial transplantation is especially needed by people who were disfigured. The process works as the following illustrates.2. Cosmetic SurgeryCosmetic surgery is concerned with therapeutic of cosmetic reformation of tissues. It includes: Blepharoplasty; Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck); Breast Surgery; Chemical Peels; Chin and Cheek Augmentation; Laser Resurfacing and Dermabrasion; Rhytidectomy; Forehead Lift; Hair Replacement; Liposuction; Otoplasty; Rhinoplasty; Sclerotherapy, etc. Cosmetic surgery serves as a help to make people become more beautiful by removing the unnecessary parts or adjusting the disfigured parts, thus it helps bring back confidence to those recipients.3. Face OffRelease date: June 27,1997Director: John WooThe story: Relentless FBI agent Sean Archer (John Travolta) catches super-terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) in a violent arrest that results in an injured and unconscious Troy hospitalized with his bomb still ticking away in downtown LA. Archer must go dangerously undercover to investigate the location of a lethal biological weapon. Using pioneering surgical techniques, doctors remove Troy's face and graft it onto Archer, effectively giving him a living mask of the terrorist's face. Archer, masquerading as Troy, then attempts to discover the location of the bomb. But when the real Troy wakes upand discovers his grisly condition, he forces doctors to graft Archer's preserved face onto his head. With his identity now swapped, Troy-as-Archer sets about ruining Archer-as-Troy's life and perpetrating all kinds of evil mayhem in his good-guy guise.II. Text StudyIII.

Summary of the TextDirections: The teacher concludes the textOne of the exciting medical breakthroughs today is facial transplantation. Doct ors, with the assistance of modern microsurgical devices and anti-rejection drugs, c ould graft a dead person’s face on to a living person through a very sophistic ated surgical operation , as found typically in science fiction. They claim that if the oper ation of facial transplantation comes out successful, the patient would have the sa me skin quality and facial expressions as those of the dead person, though the fac e itself may look slightly different.However, aware of the deep psychological implications for people involved in a facial transplantation, doctors are very cautions about the application of the techn ique and would restrict it to only a limited group of patients suffering facial deformit ies from injuries or certain diseases. At the same time, the public is quite concerned about facial transplantation since criminals and other people could take advantage of the technology, thus causing moral problems to society.3.

Lead in1. Vietnam WarA prolonged war (1954--1975) between the army of North Vietnam and the armies of South Vietnam and the United States. By the end of 1965, 180,000 US troops were fighting in Vietnam and the number reached its peak of 540,000 by 1969. The US felt that their superior weapons and military technology would easily overwhelm the North Vietnam army, which relied on guerrilla tactics perfected over centuries and had the growing support of the Vietnamese people. Ultimately, however, the United States failed to achieve its goal. Viet Nam was reunified and in 1976 it officially became the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.2. Middle East ConflictThe conflict in the Middle East refers to the violent clashes between Israel and the Palestinians supported by many Arab countries. The conflict has been going on and off for the past 55 to 60 years. Since its establishment as a state in 1948, Israel has fought four major wars with its neighbors in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973, as well as an 18-year war against Arab guerrillas in southern Lebanon.3. Eddie AdamsEddie Adams was born on June 12, 1933 and died on September 12, 2004. A journalist who covered 13 separate wars, including Vietnam, he was a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist whose most famous image was that of the execution of a Vietnamese Communist guerrilla on the streets of Saigon, published by the Associated Press (1968 AP). Also a Marine Corps photographer during the Korean War, he received numerous awards aside fromthe Pulitzer such as the 1978 Robert Capa Award and three George Polk Memorial Awards. Some of his subjects included Deng Xiaoping, Richard Nixon, Pope John Paul II and Anwar Sadat. He died from complications of Lou Gehrig’s disease.4. Associated Press (AP)The Associated Press, or AP, based in New York City, is an American news agency that claims to be the world's oldest and largest. The AP is a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers, who both contribute stories to it and use material written by its staffers.As of 2004, AP's news is used by 1,700 newspapers, in addition to 5,000 television and radio outlets. Its photo library consists of over 10 million images. The collapse of United Press International, AP's traditional competitor, has left it as the only national news service in the United States. Only a few foreign challengers, such as Reuters, exist for English-language news coverage. It is so omnipresent that the AP Stylebook has become the de facto standard for news writing in the country.5. Nick UtNick Ut (born March 29, 1951, real name Huynh Cong Ut) is a photographer for the Associated Press (AP) who works out of Los Angeles. Perhaps his best known photo is the Pulitzer Prize-winning picture of Kim Phuc Phan Thi, who was photographed as a naked girl (9-year old) running toward the camera to flee a napalm (凝固汽油) attack near Trang Bang during the Vietnam War.Born in Long An, Vietnam, Ut began to take photographs for the Associated Press when he was 16. Wounded three times in Vietnam, Ut hassince worked for the Associated Press in Tokyo, South Korea, and Hanoi and still maintains contact with Kim Phuc, who now resides in Canada.He still works for the AP, but now at their Los Angeles bureau. He is an American citizen, and is married with two children.6. Topic-related words and phrasesXinhua News Agency:Xinhua News Agency is China’s state news Agency. It is a source of information on Chinese government affairs and the Chinese point of view on international affairs, economy, industry, trade, agriculture, sports and culture.Reuters:Reuters Group PLC, founded by Paul Julius Reuter, a German–Jewish immigrant to London and pioneer of telegraphy services, is one of the world’s largest suppliers of news and financial information. Through its worldwide network of about 2,000 journalists, Reuters provides news stories, photographs, graphics, and video footage to newspapers, television broadcasters, Internet sites, and other media.Although best known to the public as a news agency, Reuters earns the vast majority of its revenues by electronically transmitting financial market data -- such as currency exchange rates, stock prices, and commodity prices -- to bankers, traders, brokers, investors, and corporations all over the world. The data are constantly updated as financial markets change. Reuters also sells software that allows traders to analyze financial data and to make transactions directly from a computer terminal. The company has headquarters in London, England.Reuters was floated as a public company in 1984 on the London Stock Exchange and on NASDAQ in the US.Agence France–Presse: It is a press agency in France fully dedicated to information and news specialized on the senior market in France and all over the world. It produces news and content for media and companies.Itar–Tass: In existence since 1904, the Information Telegraph Agency of Russia (ITAR–TASS) is one of t he world’s largest international agencies.

He barely made enough to eat.4) Did he ever doubt his ability to write? Why or why not?Yes. Because he didn’t receive a break after writing for a year or so.5) Why did the call from his old acquaintance change his life? Because his doubt of his resolution to write was cleared. He was determined to keep on writing.6) In what way did people like Delaney and Belafonte become role models for the author?From them he learned that one had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working hard to realize one’s dreams.7) How many years did the author keep on writing before his great success?He kept on writing for 17 years before his great success.8) What did the two sardine cans and 18 cents in the brown paper bag symbolize?They symbolized his courage and persistence to stick to his dream of writing.9) What is the meaning of the Shadowland of dreams?The Shadowland of dreams means all the difficulties (e.g. neglect, poverty, doubt, uncertainty, and fear of failure) people meet with in pursuing their dreams.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows.

(Para. 2)Compared with those lucky writers who have become famous, thousands of people who devote themselves to writing are never given recognition as successful writers.2) Next time I make a sale. (Para. 6)Considering the rather difficult circumstances the author was in, it is easy to see that there was a degree of irony and self-sarcasm when he promised his friend that he would pay back the money next time he made a sale, for it was something that had not happened before and would not be very likely to happen in the near future, thus pushing the repayment of the debt into the remote future.3) What’s more, I could write on the side.

Questions for considerationHow to bridge the generation gap between parents and children?Ⅵ. Main idea of Text 2The writer used to be very much attached to her mother, who, she thought, wasthe one to hold them together. Assuming no one could ever replace her mother afterher death, the writer found, little by little, to her surprise, that she and father hadmore in common than she had ever imagined. And her father’s deep love for her made her realize that he had become her new Mum. From the whole story we knowith a lovely sense of that the writer’s father is a devoted husband and a fond father whumor. He was also sentimental, sensitive and understanding.Topics for discussion:1)1)What kind of man is the writer’s father?2)2)Explain the title “My New Mum Is …My Dad”.3)3)Whom are you more sentimentally attached to, your father or yourmother? Why?Unit 2I.Teaching objectivesStudents are supposed to:grasp the author’s purpose of writing and make clear the structure of the whole passage through an intensive reading of Text 1.appreciate the fluid and sensual writing style and master the keylanguage points and grammatical structures in the Text 1know how a good relationship between teachers and students buildII.Topics for discussionHave you ever been in a situation where you were considered “different from others? How did you feel?Who is your favorite teacher? What do you remember him/her for?What qualifications do you expect of a good teacher?III.An integrated Analysis of Text 1HighlightsThe teacher’s general impression about the student named Teddy was not so good, while the turning point of the whole story is a Christmas presentgiven to the teacher by Teddy, it made the teacher moved so much. Theteacher gave special care and encouragement to Teddy, which changed hisattitudestudy and life a lot. This text is to tell the readers how a teacher’stowards a pupil can affect his/her life.Structural analysis of the text and language pointsThe passage can be divided into five parts.Part One: (Paragraphs 1-5) The first three paragraphs describe Mrs.Thompson’s initial unpleasant impression about Teddy. This impression) and hercomes from her contact with the boy(“slumped in the his seat”pervious observations (“his clothes were unkempt and that he constantlyneeded a bath. And teddy was unpleasant”).Mrs. Thompson promises to love them all the same, and treat them all alike, but asis proved later, it is not true. She does not like Teddy at first, but she gives particularcare and attention to him.In paragraph 4and 5, Mrs. Thompson’s impression is confirmed by Teddy’s school work during the first few months.Part Two: (Paragraphs 6-8) These paragraphs tell the readers what Mrs.Thompson learned from Teddy’s records.The three teachers’ comments on Teddy present a picture of Teddy’s gradual chang “…he is a joy to be around”, “…his home life will soon affect him…”, “Teddy iswithdrawn… He is tardy and could become a problem.”Mrs. Thompson was somewhat surprised when she read Teddy’s file, she realized she had the duty to do something about it.Part Three: (Para. 9-12): Here we come to the most important part ofthe story, because what happened before Christmas prompted Mrs. Thompsonto do something for Teddy. The students began to laugh when their teacheropened the present given by Teddy, because they thought the present was uglytand worthless. Mrs. Thompson knew that the other kids’ laughter could hurTeddy, and she put on the bracelet and dab some perfume on her wrist in orderto show that she liked Teddy’s present. She was deeply touched by Teddy’words and the way he uttered them, which made her realize how desperatelythe boy needed love and care his mother used to give him.Part Four: (Para.13-14):These two paragraphs describe the changes in both Mrs. Thompson and Teddy after Christmas.The following questions could be asked:1)1)What change did Mrs. Thompson make in her teaching?2)2)What was the remarkable change in Teddy’s study after Mrs. Thompsonhad changed her attitude towards him?3)3)Why would Mrs. Thompson remember that cologne on days when therewas an important test?Part five: (Para. 15-20):this part presents the five successive notes by Teddy at important stages of his study.Paragraph 15 to 17 tell the readers about the notes Teddy sent to his teacher on threeimportant occasionsIn paragraph 18 to 19 Teddy wrote something different and special in addition to hisconsistent gratitude to Mrs. Thompson.The last paragraph does not describe how Teddy’s wedding takes place. However, we can reasonably imagine the whole scene with a beaming Mrs. Thompson sitting in thepew for the groom’s mother, with the bracelet around her neck and the special smellof cologne, and witnessing the happiest moment of her favorite student, for whom shehad developed a mother-like feeling.Language pointsLack of:1) absence or less than enough ofE.g. The building was never finished because of lack of money.E.g. At a height of 25,000 feet, the lack of oxygen causes dizziness andheadaches.2) lack v.E.g. He lacks common sense.Tell a lieTo deliberately say something that is not trueE.g. whenever she told a lie, she felt guilty afterwards.Note that in most cases it is a bit too strong to say that someone is a lie. More oftenthan not we say “That’s not true.” Instead of “You are lying.” In the text we ca a touch of humor in the phrase.Take delight inTo get great pleasure from (doing something)I took great delight in watching him making a fool of himself.Be required to1)To be demanded to; to have to do somethingE.g. All the students are required to attend at least 90% of the lecture.2)requirement n.E.g. applicants must fulfill all the requirements described in this brochure before theirapplications can be considered.Be in forTo be about to have something unpleasantE.g. We are i n for some trouble if we don’t finish it quickly.E.g. It is pretty stormy! I think we are in for a rough flight.Inquisitivealways wanting to find out the details about things and peopleE.g. journalists have to be inquisitive, fearless and determinedTake stepsto take action, to do what is necessaryE.g. Managers must take steps to ensure that everyone understands the new regulationsE.g. We have taken steps to prevent such unpleasant thing from taking placeagain.Take painsto make a great effort or take great careE.g. Mary took great pains with her English lesson and got high marks.Pains(pl.): great care or effortE.g. No pains, no gains.Wonder1)used to introduce a requestE.g. I wondered whether you would be so kind as to send me an application formE.g. I wonder if you would help me.2) think about or ask oneself about somethingE.g. he wondered whether he would be able to find the hotel againE.g. I wonder what she is doing tonight.Betto state confidently(what will happen)E.g. The builders want to finish the job by Friday. I bet you won’t. E.g. I bet Tom has a hangover this morning. –you should have seen how much he was drinking last night.IV.Questions for considerationWhat is the most important in teaching and learning process?V.Main idea of Text 2This article is taken from Newsweek, D ecember 3, 2001.

Please explain with your personal experience.What is the most important element when facing difficulties?Ⅲ.An integrated analysis of Text 1HighlightsThe story is basically a piece of narrative writing, in which theaccount of the latest event is interrupted by a number of flashbacks (someearlier events and experiences). It begins with the air crash. Then it goesback to what had happened before. After this the author resumes thenarration of the air crash and subsequent events.Chronological account (description of the air crash) → flashback(his wife’s intuition and judgment on previous occasions) → flashback(their romance and marriage) → recovery from the air crash) → flashback(his chronological account(the author’swife’s surgery) → flashback(his wife’s method to make people move on) → chronological account(the author’s concluding comments)Structural analysis of the text and language pointsParagraphs1-2: The author uses his recent accident –an aircrash—as an introduction to the whole story. The first paragraph tells thereaders what happens to the author, while the second paragraph describeshow his wife reacts to the accident. The description of her reactionnaturally leads to the discussion of her good judgment in the followingparagraphs.Fillmore is a small city in Southern California. Both the city of Fillmore and the City of Los Angels (L.A.) are under the jurisdiction of Los AngelsCounty.Paragraphs3-4: These two paragraphs are the first flashback in thestory which describes Anne’s good judgment on previous occasions andher experiences during the Second World WarParagraphs5-7: These paragraphs tell us how the author met Anne, fell in love with her and eventually married her. This is the secondflashback. To get an insight into Anne’s character, students should be ableto answer the following question:1)1)Why did the author feel miffed in his interview with Anne?2)2)Why did the author have the thought “to heel with her”Paragraphs8: After two flashbacks, the author turns back to hisrecovery from the crash with his wife’s meticulous care. Students aresupposed to answer the following question:Paragraphs9-10: These two paragraphs are also a flashback. Theauthor recalls how his wife handled her crisis: she never gave in andalways tried to help others.The following questions could be asked:what she demanded her1) Did Anne’s attitude towards her own disease agree withhusband to do?2) How did Anne offer help to others?Paragraphs11-13:these three paragraphs are closely related withthe previous two, because they present a picture of how Anne saved herhusband, helped rebuild his confidence and kept him moving on in herown way.“good judgment ”is reaffirmed by her swift reaction to herIn paragraph 11,Anne’shusband’s stroke(“was home within ten minutes and had me at the hospital within anhour”)“Tough love” refers to Anne’s belief that you should be a bit tough with your lovedones in order to get them back to normal life as quickly as possible. Needless to say,under this “tough” surface lies profound love, hence the phrase “tough love”. case of oxymoron, which is a rhetorical device in which incongruous or contradictoryterms are combined. The following are similar example:a deafening silenceher cruel kindnessa mournful optimistParagraphs14: As is the case with most narrative writings theconcluding paragraph provides an end to the event (the air crash).However, the author goes beyond that offering his general comments onAnne’s character, thus making the conclusion somewhat philosophical.in this book means a sudden occurrence of something pleasant,The word “stroke” while the latte refers to the blockage or breaking of blood vessels in a human brains.So the use of “stroke” is a play of word for a special effect.The last two sentences strike home the author’s point. “What sets the survivor apart from the others is the willingness to move on, and to help others move on too”, exemplified by the autho r’s wife, Anne.Ⅳ.Language points:CollideTo hit each other accidentallyE.g. The two planes collided with each other in midair.Depressed1) sad or gloomyE.g. I need something to occupy my mind. I get depressed if I have nothing to do.2) depression n.E.g.

Why do you admire him/her?What would you do to meet with challenges or cope with frustrations in your life or work?Ⅲ.An integrated analysis of Text 1HighlightsThe text is a narration. Narrative writing is usually organized in a chronologicalorder. In the text the writer recounts a series of happenings, which consist of an introduction, the conflict, the climax and a solution to the conflict. The writer tells ofhis experiences not to share them with his readers, nor to express his disillusionment. He seems to tell us that one’s success l argely lies in the discovery of one’s real potential.Structural analysis of the textBasically, the story falls into four parts.Part 1(Para.1): main idea—to give reasons for his job transferfunction—to provide the setting of the story(introductoryinformation about whom, when and why)The first paragraph is the introductory part of the whole text. The authorintroduces the setting (the when and where of an event), the character(himself) and prepares the ground for conflict.here refers to people’s social value. Terry The expression “fine t radition” Bradshaw lives in society that worship idols. Successful persons, such as sports champions, pop singers and famous movies stars, receive focal attention of the society. It is common practice to follow their life-styles. People try to imitatethem, such as wearing the same brand of jeans, having the same hair style, etc.In this way they feel they are more or less accepted as successful people, too.Part 2(Para.2-13): main idea—to recount his frustratingexperiences as a toupee model.function—to raise the first conflict and its climaxsecond part which Paragraphs2-3 serve as the beginning of the story’sincludes three episodes in his frustrating experience as a toupee company’sspokesman.

This episode is about his suffering when people are making aplastic model of his head.head sent Paragraph8-9:the writer describes his parents’ action to his modeled to them. So these two paragraphs are closely related to the previous account.experience as a toupee Paragraph 10 is the second episode of the writer’smodel. The making of the film commercial is deemed as damaging to hispersonal image, which is evidenced by the smile “…looked like road killstuck to my head”.toupee model Paragraphs 11-13 are about the third episode of the writer’sexperience. It is the climax of the second part of the text. In this episode, thewriter undergoes i ntolerable annoyance and frustration—he has to wear thewig whenever he appears in public. His frustration is highlighted by yetanother simile “…the hairpiece hanging out of my pocket like a squirrel’stail”.Part3(Para.14-27):main idea—to describe his problems, hisprogress and success in broadcastingfunction—to develop the second c onflict, build up the climax and reach thesolutionParagraph14 is a transitional paragraph which marks the end of the first conflict (thesecond part of the text) and the beginning of another conflict (the third part of hetext).Paragraphs15-16: the writer tells how he enters the broadcasting business and begins anew career, so it is the beginning of the third part of the text.Paragraphs17-22: these paragraphs build up the writer’s second conflict in which thewriter describes how he fumbles through his first sports broadcasting and whatproblems he has. He quickly learns the difference between a football player and asports broadcaster, w hich actually suggests t hat a good player does not necessarilymake a good broadcaster(refer to Paragraph17). Then he enumerates many things hedoes not know (refer to Paragraphs 18 and 19). He even does not know where to seeand how to see as a broadcaster(refer to Paragraphs 21 and 22).Paragraphs23-27: these paragraphs tell us how the writer progress in sports broadcasting. With his hard and enduring effort (“I worked hard. I wanted to be good to please the viewers. And I needed that job.”), the writer gradually gets someexperience and masters the knowhow in sports broadcasting (how to entertain hisaudience).thus the second conflict is resolved, marking the end of the third part of thetext.Part4(Para 28):main idea—to comment on his successful careertransition.function—to elicit the theme of the story (conclusiveremark)The author concludes his story with his own remark that serves as an emphaticassertion of the theme: it is important to know who you are and what you cando to be the best of yourselfⅣ.Language points:Get/ be involved inTo take part in an activity or event, or to be connected with it in some wayE.g. The president was involved in the political scandal.Potential customerA person who may become a customer in the future…while getting your head duplicated…while an exact copy of your head is being made.…is high on the listis near the top of the list. Here it means that “being suffocated by plaster while gettin your head duplicat e d for a toupee display” was one of the worst ways to die.Commercialan advertisement on television or radioE.g. McEnroe has been signed up to do a series of coffee commercials.TournamentA competition in a sport or game in which each player or team plays several matches,and the winner is the one who wins the most matchesE.g.

He gives a talk there.Q2. It was “Money and God”.Q3. The whole audience had some deep feelings about money and God.Para. 2-5I struggled [5] to bring these two ultimate [6] subjects(两个关于人生终极目标的话题)together in the same breath[7](相提并论). One businessman wanted to mak e it simple. He said, “Money is God. Anything you can say about God, you can al so about money.”What do you mean?” I responded [8].“Well, think of the traditional [9] statem ents(传统说法)about God,” he said.“Okay. God is love.

Money is so powerful that we go to war(上战场)and give up our lives (one‟s life) for (money)(为金钱而丧命)it. And, since money is abstract [12], we can create [13] infinite mounts out of(从…中产生,从…中造出)it.

He was admitting [14] an awesome truth(一个可怕的事实)that most people would not take seriously(熟视无睹).Q1. What did the author think of the businessman‟s reply?Q2. Why did the author say the businessman was disturbed?14. disturb: 1) interrupt someone and stop them from working, thinking, sleepi ng, etc.2) make someone feel worried or upset3) change the usual or natural condition ofe.g. I do not wish to be disturbed in my work.He was disturbed to hear of your illness.He disturbed the papers on my desk.15. admit: 1) accept and agree unwillingly that something is true or right2) allow to enter or joine.g. He admitted taking these goods without paying for them.This ticket admits two people to the football match.Q1.

The businessman was revealing a truth which most people would avoid fa cing.Para. 8Afterwards an older white-bearded gentleman(白胡子老先生)came (come) up to [16](走上前来)me and asked this question: “ With what do you buy your mon ey?” I looked at him, just to make sure [17] I understood what he said.Q1. What is old man‟s view on the relationship between money and life?Q2. Why do you think the author looked at the old white-bearded gentleman?16. come up to: 走上前来,走近;出现e.g. A beggar came up to us and asked for money.17. make sure: act so as to be certaine.g. He made sure that all the lights were off before he left the classroom.Q1. He thinks that one buys money with his or her life.Q2. Probably the author was a little puzzled.Para. 9-12Again he asked, “With what do you buy your money?”“I can only think of one good answer(合理的答案).” I said, “I buy my money with my life.”“Right!” he said. “You might w in the game of life(成为生活中的胜者). I wish I had asked myself this question when I was much younger. I worked for money fo r so many years, not realizing that I was trading (trade one‟s) life for [16] money (拿生命换取金钱).”“Don‟t the bad guys always say, …Your money or your life?‟” I said.Q1. Why do you think the old gentleman said the author might win the game of life?Q2. How do you understand the phrase “to trade one‟s life for money”?Q3. How do you understand the sentence “Your money or your life”?18. trade …for: exchangee.g. The early settlers here trade their copper ware for corn.Q1. The old gentleman thought that the author might succeed in making mone y, but that was really at the expense of his life worth living.Q2. That means people make money at the cost of their lives.Q3. That means: Do you want your money or your life? You can only choose between the two. It is a threat often used by robbers, but here it means “ a wort hwhile life”.Para. 13This old had the clear eyes of a wisdom seeker(寻求智慧), not those of a man (be) lost in the money game(迷失在金钱游戏中). Perhaps, I thought half in j est(开玩笑), he had put away [19] (储存,放好;放弃)a good sum (of money) (一大笔钱)for his retirement, and was living(live)well off [20](衣食无忧)of it.

Summary of the TextThe author was talking on the topic “Money and God” at the Applied Philosop hy Institute in Sunnyvale, California two years ago, as he did once every year. He was trying very hard to bring together the two vitally important subjects before the audience when a businessman said to him that money is God. The man further e xplained that like God, money brings love and is all powerful. Then an old man wh o seemed very wise asked the author a question about the relationship between lif e and money in a very unusual way. He suggested, as the author agreed, that life is more that just money-making and that life should be made meaningful. This is a conclusion people usually don‟t think seriously about and express in such a way.3.

新世纪英语教案第2册课文译文

新世纪英语教案第2册课文译文

爱国主义精神爱国者即热爱祖国,为祖国工作,并愿意为祖国战斗和献身的人。

每一个士兵都应责无旁贷地恪尽职守,而优秀士兵的表现更为突出:他们不顾自己的生命安危,因为他们热爱为之战斗的国家。

他们热爱她的山山水水,她的城市乡村,她的人民及其生活方式;他们愿意保卫她,同企图征服和摧毁她的敌人战斗到底。

为什么有些国家完全消亡了?这几乎总是因为,当巨大的考验来临时,当需要对敌人进行最积极的抵抗时,没有更多的男女斗士,为了能使他们的国家和同胞继续生存,而不惜牺牲自己的生命。

为什么另外一些国家,相比之下人口少国力差,尽管境内外曾发生过大规模的战争,仍能连续数百年保持自由和独立?答案在于这些国家的人们都誓死不屈。

他们看上去或许会一度受制于征服者,但他们并不言败,一直等到机会来临,最后消灭敌人或把敌人赶走,赢回他们的自由。

我们都能回忆起一些国家,有些在近期,有些在古代,因国民的英勇及决心而免于消亡。

往往出现这种情况:在最危险的时刻,在最需要的时候,有人挺身而出,证明自己是一位伟大的领导者。

他身体力行以鼓励他人,使他们产生新的抵抗意志,使他们满怀希望,让他们跟随他走向胜利。

没有领导者,民众就难以组织起来;没有民众的支持,再伟大的领导者也难展宏图。

正是领导者和民众的结合才带来成功。

并非人人都能成为伟大的领导者,因为很少有人具备必要的素质。

不过我们可以接受训练,或自我训练,以开发自身潜质。

人们说,只有先学会服从的人才能够指挥,而服从合法政权是我们所受教育的一部分。

另一点是大公无私:一个自私的人永远也成不了真正的爱国者。

还有 , 既然我们都珍视所进行的事业并为之添砖加瓦,我们的爱国心就会日益增强,因为我们竭尽全力不断完善自己,从而改善了我们生存的社会。

最后,真正的爱国者除了热爱祖国以外,还必须了解自己的国家。

他会因为更彻底地了解她而愈加热爱她。

我们不可能为知之甚少的事业勇敢战斗。

因此,作为爱国的公民,我们接受的训练,应该包括走遍祖国大地,熟悉其它地区多于本地,直接了解那里的风土人情。
