Gender imbalance: The policy is seriously affecting China’s sex ratio. Since the 1980s, our ratio has become completely disfigured and the male to female ratio is now 120:100. So much for killing of baby girls and an increase in abortion rates. China could have completely devastated it’s future as there will soon be a shortage in the number of young fertile women and then there will be even fewer births. What a disaster!
WORLD’S CHILD POLICY
当今，世界各国对本国的人口生育政策大致分为三类。第一类是实行鼓励生育人口的国家; 第二类是人口的国家; 第三类是既不鼓励也不限制、随其自然生育的国家。第一类国家有日本、俄罗斯和西班牙等西欧国家。这些国家经济大都比较发达。第二类国家有世界第一人口大国中国和第二人口大国等。第三类国家有美国以及多数发展中国家。
CHINA’S ONE CHILD POLICY
China’s One Child policy is a policy that the Chinese government introduced in 1979 to try and solve the problem of overpopulation. It’s main purpose was to make sure that China could support its large population with facilities such as healthcare, education, housing, good jobs and most importantly, food. The aim was to reduce poverty and to improve overall quality of life for the people.

Unit 6 Is an Only a Lonely Child?Pre-reading ActivitiesI. Pre-reading questionsAre you the only child in your family? How do you feel as the only child or as one of the children in the family?II. Cultural information1. QuotesSocrates:Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parent, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers.2. Children from One-child FamiliesSome people think that children from one-child families have more merits than shortcomings. Firstly, they value free will and will not accept orders blindly. Secondly, they love trying out new methods and are full of creative ideas. Thirdly, they expect others to treat them as indispensable partners of the team.However, some people believe that the only children have more shortcomings than merits. For example, many are heavily dependent on parents. And some never learn to do household chores. It is even worse that some tend to be spoiled and self-centered. They are "the little emperors or princess" in families and schools.What do you think?Global ReadingI. Text analysis1. What is this expositive text concerned with?The text deals with the typical advantages and disadvantages of not having a second child in an objective tone.2. What is the writer’s answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child?It is always a difficult decision to each set of parents because of the different circumstances they are under. Once they decide, both of them should be confident.II. Structural analysis1. Divide the text into parts by completing the table.2. Some words used at the beginning of a paragraph make it easier for the reader to understand the coherence of the whole text, such as Another at the beginning of Paragraph 3, Despite of Paragraph 4, and Unfortunately of Paragraph 7. Can you explain how they function?The word “Another” used at the beginning of Paragraph 3 implies that at least one argument has been presented earlier.“Despite these arguments …” prepares readers for something against their expectations, i.e. many parents still choose to have one child although the disadvantages of doing so have just been clearly presented.“Unfortunately” tells readers that there follows something disappointing, i.e. the author fails to provide a definite answer to the questions raised at the beginning of the text.Detailed ReadingText I Is an Only-Child a Lonely Child?Paragraph 1Questions1) What is the dilemma that many couples are faced with?The dilemma that many couples are confronted with is whether or not they should have a second child. On one hand, they have demanding jobs and limited time and financial resources; on the other hand, they are also very keen to ensure that their only child does not become a lonely child. So they are plunged into this situation in which it is difficult for them to decide what to do.2) What is the concern that weighs heavily on the minds of many couples?Many couples are very much concerned about whether an only-child necessarily becomes a lonely child.Paragraphs 2-3Questions1) What does the writer think of the issue of whether or not to have a second child? (Paragraph 2) The writer thinks that the issue is one of the most difficult issues that parents nowadays are confronted with.2) Why does the writer think that an only child necessarily means a lonely child? (Paragraph 2)As there are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, he may feel lonely at times, especially during vacations.3) What is the main idea of the third paragraph? (Paragraph 3)The third paragraph states and supports another common argument against having just one child: an only-child may be more spoiled than one with siblings.Paragraphs 4-5Questions1) What examples and statistics are given to show that more and more parents have decided to have only one child? (Paragraph 4)In the US, for example, 14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child, and this percentage is expected to rise. The same trend can be seen in the UK. According to the Family Policy Studies Center, the overall number of British children being born each year has declined. In Japan, the average number of children born per family had declined to 1.42 by 1996, while the latest statistics cite less than one child.2) What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? (Paragraph 5)Paragraph 5 supplies two most typical reasons for the steady increase of the number of parents who have chosen to have only one child.Paragraph 6Questions1) What advantages of having only one child are argued for by advocates of single-child families?With just one child, there is no potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy. The child can receive more quality time and attention from parents, which will increase their self-esteem, independence and confidence.Paragraph 7Questions1) Does the writer give a definite answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child?Why?No. As the circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique, it is impossible to give a definite answer whether or not to have a second child.2) What is the writer’s advice given to single-child parents?The writer’s advice is as follows: The important thing, in the end, is to make a decision thatboth you and your spouse feel confident about.Further EnhancementText II Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home DadsLead-in questions1. Is it the father or mother who plays a more important role in building up a child?2. What do you think are the benefits of having one parent stay at home to care for the children?Main ideaText II Changing Roles: Stay-at-Home Dads, dealing with another family issue, is a challenge to the traditional roles performed by dads and moms in the home. Neil Walkingshaw, after becoming a father, decided to devote more time and attention to his newborn son than probably all other fathers before him had used to. After bringing up Walkingshaw’s case, the author draws readers’ attention to the changing view regarding father’s role in child rearing over the past few decades, cites research findings in support of father’s involvement in child rearing, and the calls from some social organizations to create a new image of fatherhood. To conclude, the author expresses a positive view concerning the assertion and social acceptance of father’s role in parenting in the future.Notes1. babysitter (Paragraph 1): a babysitter is one who temporarily takes care of a child on behalf of the child’s parents.2. maternity leave (Paragraph 1): time that a mother is allowed to spend away from work when she has a baby3. part-time hours (Paragraph 1): working less than the normal hours, perhaps by working fewer days per week4. ... the paperwork would be “too messy”…(Paragraph 1): … switching to part-time hourswould involve tasks such as filling in forms, keeping files up to date, or writing reports and letters which are complicated and unpleasant to deal with …5. ... Walkingshaw sued on the grounds of sex discrimination.(Paragraph 1): … Walkingshaw took legal action against the company for treating him differently because of prejudice.6. an industrial tribunal (Paragraph 1): a court which judges disagreements between workers and their employers7. The ruling is believed to be the first of its kind, and demonstrates just how much views on parental roles have changed over the years. (Paragraph 1): This official decision is said to be the first case of its category, and shows how greatly opinions of parental roles have altered in recent years. Attention should be paid to that fact that the word much in the sentence is not an adjective modifying the noun views, but an adverb in the meaning of a great deal modifying the verb changed.8. As little as thirty years ago, few people questioned the gender roles that had prevailed forcenturies. (Paragraph 2): Only thirty years ago, few people expressed doubts about general beliefs of the social functions performed by males and females that had been widely held for centuries.9. The conventional wisdom was that a woman's place was in the home nd that a man's main responsibility to his family was to put food on the table. (Paragraph 2): A belief most people held was that a woman should play the role of a housewife or homemaker, and a man a bread-earner.10.A father’s emotional involvement with his family also became more important. (Paragraph2): It was also getting more important that a father should have stronger emotional links withhis family.11. … fathers tend to be more playful,… (Paragraph 3): … fathers tend to be active, and morecapable of providing fun for the child, …12.... under a mother’s exclusive care: taken care of by the mother only13. ... the presence of the father in the home can contribute to lower juvenile crime rates, adecrease in child poverty, and lower rates of teenage pregnancy. (Paragraph 4):With the father in the home, young people can be helped to prevent against legal offense and sexual misbehavior that might result in chance pregnancy.14.National Fatherhood Initiative(Paragraph 5): The National Fatherhood Initiative is aUS-based non-profit, non-partisan organization that aims to improve the well-being of children through the promotion of responsible fatherhood. It was launched on 7th March, 1994 by Don Eberly, a former George H.W. Bush advisor and civil society scholar and Wade F. Horn, a child psychologist.15.The movement also calls for the creation of a new image of fatherhood, one that goesbeyond the traditional view of the father solely as provider, and also includes the equally crucial roles of nurturer, moral example, disciplinarian, and teacher.(Paragraph 5): According to the movement, the traditional view on the role of the father should change. He should support his family, devote his time to child rearing, set an example for his children, discipline them and teach them knowledge and skills.16.well-adjusted children(Paragraph 6): children who are emotionally healthy and able todeal well with the problems of lifeQuestions for discussion1. What was the traditional view on the roles of men and women?2. Wha t does Walkingshaw’s case imply about the problem with children?3. What are society’s changing views of the role of men play in relation to childcare?4. According to the passage, what do children need most from their fathers?5. What can we conclude from the passage about the father’s role in child rearing?Key to Questions for discussion1. Traditionally, Western civilization viewed a woman as a wife and mother whose place shouldbe in the home and a man the sole wage-earner of the family.2. Many women decide to get jobs because of financial need or to achieve freedom from women’straditional roles of child rearing and housework. So many families no longer have an adult at home during the day, and the demand for childcare has risen.3. People are re-thi nking men’s values and their role in family life. They should be more active inthe care of children and the home.4. What kids need most from their father is probably his simple presence with the live and timefor children. Mutual trust and unconditional love are still the keys to successful child rearing.5. (Open to discussion.)Memorable QuotesRead the following quotes and identify the relationship between blessing and bother, childhood and man, morning and day.Guidance: Chinese old saying goes, “An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening, and a year's plan starts with spring.” The morning is as important to the day as the childhood to the man. If one does not exert oneself in youth, one will regret it in old age.1. A baby is an inestimable blessing and bother. — Mark TwainParaphrase: Bringing up a baby takes very great efforts, which will bring enormous happiness at the same time.inestimable: impossible to estimate or calculatee.g. What he said at my birthday party serves as an inestimable gift for all my life.2. The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day. — John Milton Paraphrase:An anticipation of the adult’s future features can be discerned with the present character of a child. The same is true with the anticipation of the day which can be told by what the morning is like.as: used as conjunction here to say the way in which sth. happens.e.g. Books are important to the mind, as water is to the fish.。

They're col orful, beautiful? also lightweight. I d on't want to carry anything heavy.Man: Ah, I d on't think you shoul d give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and peopl e are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting.

Before Korean students take university entrance tests, their friends give them sticky rice candy for luck. The friends hope that the students will pass the test and "stick to" the university. The following short conversations will tell you about different customs in China, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy and Japan.Number 1: ChinaWoman: Did I tell you I'm going to China?Man: China? Great.Woman: Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business. I have to buy some gifts.Man: Good idea. What are you going to take?Woman: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs. They're colorful, beautiful? also lightweight. I don't want to carry anything heavy.Man: Ah, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and people are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you should never give clothing unless you know the person really well?Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?Woman: Clothing -- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give them. Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just uncomfortable. What should you bring?Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for the house.Number 3: SwitzerlandMan: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should take flowers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses.Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of love and romance.Man: Oh, I didn't know that.Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.Number 4: ItalyWoman: I'd like some flowers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.Man: Ma'am, I don't think you should give ten flowers. In Italy, even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, andso on -- are bad luck.Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine flowers then.Number 5: JapanWoman: May I help you?Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them.Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.Man: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.Woman: You said you're going to Japan?Man: Yeah.Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, don't give four of anything.Man: Why not?Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "death." It's bad luck.Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After all, pens write in any language! Man: Uh ... yeah.

-- Dante, Italian poet --意大利诗人但丁Pre-reading task:1.How do you understand the title of T ext 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. Y esterday 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 goi ng 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 EatingSpaghetti”?(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. The U.S. Grade School SystemKindergarten: under 5 years old /Chinese: under 6years old Elementary/primary school (grades 1-6): 6-11 years old/ Chinese: (greades1-6) 7-12 years oldJunior high/middle school (grades 7-8): 12-13 years old/Chinese(grades 7-9) 13-15 years oldSenior high school (grades 9-12): 14-17 years old/Chinese:(grades 10-12/13) 16-18/19 years oldCollege, institute, academy, universityPart four: The Structure of T ext A (55m)Why did not he have the dream?(para1: bored English courses, dull grammar,long assignments, lifeless paragraphs)(dream:writer)Baker Why did he have the dream?(background:para1) (because the English class was assigned to Mr.Fleagle.his description:para2 )How did he find the dream?(para3-4:Fleagle distributed students a homework sheet for an essay, Bakerchose the art of eating spaghetti.)Why did he choose the title?(para5)(rel ive…recapture…violate…)Why did he turn in the essay for himself to Fleagle?(para6:because…wait…)What Fleagle did in the class?(para6-8:classmates…) How did he feel after Fleagle’s reading the essay? (para9:delighted...)1.B aker’s dream (para1-2)What’s his dream?: a writerWhen did he have the dream?:The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn’t my third year in high school that the possibility took hold.Why didn’t he have the dream before the 3rd year in high school?He had been bored by everything associated with Englishcourses. He found English grammar dull and difficult. He hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write.What impression did Fleagle give students?(para.2):When our class was assigned to Fleagle I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation for dullness and inability to inspire. He was formal, rigid, hopelessly out of date, excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose.The prim manner of speaking was so correct and gentle that he seemed a comic antique.2.How to realize his dream?:first (para.3), Mr. Fleagle distributed a homework sheet to write an informal essay. Baker thought them simple-mined and dull, so Baker did nothing until the night before the essay was due. Baker finally faced up to the task and chose the title: The Art of Eating Spaghetti.second(para.4), Baker recalled the happy moment of eating spaghetti.third(para.5), Baker violated all the rules of formal composition and put down the happy moments for his own joy, and decided to write another formal one for Mr. Fleagle.fourth(para.6), due to the time, Baker turned in his essay for himself. Mr. Fleagle returned everyone’s but his. So Baker prepared for a command to report to Mr. Fleagle.finally(para.7-8), Mr. Fleagle read Baker’s essay for the class. The entire clas s listened attentively and laughed not in contemptand ridicule but with open-hearted enjoyment. Even Mr. Fleagle smiled.3.Baker’s feeling after teacher’s reading(para.9)?:He was delighted at the demonstration that his words had the power to make people laugh. Teacher gave him the highest appreciation about his essay: this is the essence of the essay. He discovered his calling─writing. Part five: homework (5m) According to the below descriptive words and expressions about a person and try to use them to describe your classmates or a person you are familiar with.(Serious/easy-going, formal/informal, wavy or straight hair, pointed or plat jaw or nose, humorous or not, outdated or modern c lothes…)Second PeriodPart one: review task(10m) (ask one or two students to describe a person)Suggested answer:My English teacher is a lady. She has the long and wavy hair, very beautiful. And she has a pointed jaw and a pointed nose. She always wears the clothes in fashion. Her manner of speaking is very gentle and humorous. What’s more, she treats us very well. She is an easy-going teacher and talks to us with smiles on her face. We all like her.Part two: True or False Questions (20m)1. Baker had an idea of becoming a writer at his eleventh grade. (F) The idea of becoming a writer began from his childhood, but it didn’t take hold until to his high school.2. Baker was bored at writing because he had no friends at school. (F) He was bored by everything associated with English course, including grammar and English writing assignments.3.

(F) He praised and encouraged him by saying the last words to him.Part three: analysis of essay writing (40m)1. 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, recapt ure 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 kindusually takes the form of narration with some facts and arguments and some expressions of the author’s feelings. TextA 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 unt il 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 st udents’ 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. T o 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. T wo 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 theessence 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 T ext 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 T ext 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. Preview T ext B and try to find out the answers to thefollowing questions:1. Who was Mr. Ballou? What was the author’s impression of Mr. Ballou at first? What did the author find about Mr. Ballou later?2. What was the attitude of the author towards reading books before he went into Mr. Ballou’s house? 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 thi s author?Third PeriodPart one: review task : task 1 (task 2 will be handled when the structure of T ext 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 ourabilities 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 T ext B:II. Questions that could guide the students to understand the structure of T ext B.1. When did the story take place? What did the author do at that time?This story took place when he was fourteen. He was a student who cut lawns for other people as a summer job to earn money.2. When did the narrator wrote this essay? What did the narrator do when he wrote this essay?Thirty years later. He became an anthropologist at Dartmouth College.3. Who was Mr. Ballou? What was the author’s impression of Mr. Ballou at first?He was one of the neighbors of the author who never paid the author for cutting lawns at all. 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 did the author find about Mr. Ballou later?Later, the author found that Mr. Ballou was rich in books and experienced in reading.(Para.7 “…I saw that books were stacked everywhe re. It was like a library…”(rich in books)Para.8 “ This is nothing…a second time.” (experienced in reading))5. 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 ch anged later? When?Y es, 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. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned by the concentra ted power a novel could contain.”)7. Had Mr. Ballou ever paid a cent to the author? What did he give to the author instead? How did the author like what Mr. Ballou had given to him?Mr. Ballou had never paid a cent to the author; he just gave some books to the author as the down payment. The author thought that what Mr. Ballou had given to him was of great value, because he became an anthropology professor later due to these books.(Para20. “ To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College.8. What’s the conc lusion of this author?Reading was not the innocent entertainment, and a rightbook will change the course of your life.(P ara. 20 “Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you …all that follows.”)Part five: Homework(5m)Ask the students to rewrite this essay in their own words, and encourage them to try to use the following wordsin their writings: comprise, motion, clash, represent, decent, evil, voluntary, assume. (120 words).Fourth periodPart one: review task(15m)Suggested answer:When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns. Mr. Ballou was one of my neighbors who never paid me at all. But I didn’t mind because the little that his property comprised didn’t take long to trim. O ne day, he motioned me to come into his house, and I saw that books were stacke d everywhere. 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. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be; a book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, will change the course of all that follows.Part two: Paraphrase and Translate the Following Sentences (35m)1.I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things theylost in the grass or stuck in the ground on purpose.Paraphrase: My customers would plant some flowers on their lawns, and I had to remember not to cut down these flowers. Or sometimes they would lose or stick some things in the ground intentionally, and these details had helped me to get to know them gradually.客户们种植的花卉我得记住不能剪去，他们有时会将东西遗落在草地上或故意插在地里，通过这些我逐渐认识了他们。
