ExercisesSection II Being All EarsSee the textbook.Section III Maintaining a Sharp EyePassage I The Way Americans GreetText-Related Information1. GreetingThe simplest thing to say is "Good morning," "Good afternoon'" or "good evening." This greeting is given to one whom you know only slightly, or to any one you are passing quickly. "How are you" is usually used when you are not in such a hurry. No answer is expected other than "Fine, thank you." "Hello" is the commonest form of greeting between good friends.2. When to Shake HandsIt is customary to shake hands when you first meet someone. And usually friends shake hands when they meet after not having seen each other for some time. However it is not necessary to shake hands.3. Common Titles in Englisha. Mr.:“先⽣”a courtesy title for any male adult not styled “Sir”, “Dr.” etc. used before the man’s family name or his position.b. Mrs.:“太太”a courtesy title for any married woman not styled “lady”, “Dr.”etc. used before her husband‘s surname.c. Ms.: “⼥⼠” a courtesy title for a woman, whether she is married or not, followed by the family name.d. Miss: “⼩姐”A title used to address an unmarried woman or a girl. It is followed by the family name. Miss can also be used as the title of address to an (esp. unknown) unmarried woman. In this case, it is not followed by the name.e. Lady: “夫⼈、太太、⼥⼠”a courtesy title for a woman with dignity or social grace. It is also an English title for the wife of a knight or a baronet.f. Dr. (Doctor): “医⽣、博⼠”the title of a medical practitioner or the title of the holder of the highest university degree. e.g. Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).g. Prof. (Professor):“教授”The title to address a university teacher of the highest rank in a faculty.h. Officer: “官员，警察先⽣” The title to address a person holding a publicappointment, aposition of responsibility and trust, such as a policeman or a customs officer.i. Sir: “先⽣、长官、爵⼠”A form of polite address to a man; A title preceding the first name of a knight (爵⼠) or a baronet (准男爵); A form of address in writing to a stranger or in business letters.4. Formation of Common English NamesA common English name is usually composed of two or three parts: the first name is also called forename. If the person is a Christian, his first name will be given at his baptism, so it is also called the given name or the Christian name. Middle name is the second given name. When written, middle name is often shortened to the initial letter. Surname is often the father‘s family name, so it is also called family name or last name. For example: Anne Louise Strong, George B. Show.Text ExplanationPara. 1Americans often greet each other simply with “Hello”or “Hi”. They believe such an informal greeting often implies a close and friendly relationship. Similarly, Americans do not have a formal “farewell”. They will just wave “good-bye” to the whole group. Or perhaps, they will simply say “Bye”, “So long” or “Speaking of time, I’ve got to run” and then leave. To Americans, a friendly and informal relationship is themost important thing.Language Points:1.Explanation of Difficult Sentences1) The Way Americans GreetAnalysis: In this title, in which is omitted after The way.“in ... way”means (to do something) by means of a certain method. Translation: 美国⼈的致意⽅式Example: I think the way she runs her bookshop is worth studying.2)Speaking of ... time, I’ve got to run.Analysis: A present participle clause used as an adverbial of cause/time. It means “when it comes to time, I’m reminded of …”Translation: 说到时间，我得赶紧跑了。

Some of them have been so absorbed in English that speakers may not realize their origin. Other expressions like “faux pas”have retained their “Frenchness”, with which speakers tend to sound modern. These expressions are often written in italics. The following are a few French expressions which are commonly used in English.1)Faux Pas: it refers to a socially awkward or tactless act, a foolish mistake, something thatshould not be done. 失礼2)au pair: A foreign female who works for a family (cleaning and/or teaching the children)in exchange for room and board. 帮助料理家务换取住宿的外国女学生3)Bon appétit: The closest English equivalent is “Enjoy your meal” . 用餐愉快4)esprit de corps: It is s imilar to “group spirit” or “morale”. 团队精神5)rendez-vous: In English it means “an arrangement for a meeting”. It can be used as anoun or a verb. 约会6)RSVP: This abbreviation stands for Répondez, s‟il vous plaît, which means “Respond,please”. 敬请回复7)bon voyage: a way of saying “good-bye and wishing good luck”Language Points1Explanation of difficult sentences1. (Para. 2) Missed connections are missed opportunities for business.Analysis：Missed is a verb‟s past participle used here as an adjective. The repeated use of the same word could bring out a stronger effect.Translation：错过了联系就错失了商机。

Try to write and translate English menus.Teaching Procedures:Many people like to eat large meals at restaurants, not only in China but in foreign countries too. But it varies from country to country on the eating habits. Do you know how to order food and how to communicate with the waiter (or waitress) at a restaurant? This unit can help you get a rough idea about restaurant English .Section ITalking Face to FaceThe topic area of Talking Face to Face in this unit is ordering a table and food at a restaurant with the focus on the patterns for expressing how to make and take order at a restaurant.Menu1.

Text-related InformationEating habitsThe eating habits vary greatly from culture to culture. For example, Americans prefer to eat fatty, greasy, fried and sweet food, and they like snacks too. That is why America is probably the fattest country in this world. We Chinese people like a real meal that includes vegetables, meat and rice, whereas in the US, a meal could be a bag of cookies or French fries, very greasy. So, likes or dislikes with regard to food vary greatly in different countries. What is disgusting to one person can be a delicacy to another. Sometimes we need to change our eating habits. If we move or travel to anew place with a different culture, our favorite meat, fruit and vegetables may not be available to us.

(Para. 1)Analysis: This is a complex sentence. “f or” here is used as a conjunction introducing a clause of reason. “what seemed to be the best restaurant in Toledo” is used as the object of “chose”; “where I announced quickly and in a clear voice that I wanted the tourist menu” is a non-restrictive relative clau se modifying “the best restaurant”. The where-clause again has a that-clause as its object.e.g. This did not offend me in the least, for I knew that a man in hisposition could have little time to spare.-- ... but of the twenty-nine dishes thus available, twenty-six carried a surcharge if ordered on the tourist menu. (Para. 2)Analysis: The adjective available is used here as an attributive post-modifying “the twenty-nine dishes”. This adjective usually follows the noun or noun phrase it modifies. “i f ordered” is the ellipsis of “if they are ordered”.e.g. I’m afraid I don’t have the shoes available in your size.She asked me not to say anything until asked.-- Technically, one could order a dinner that would cost the price advertised by the government, but if he did so he would have two soups, one cheap fish and no dessert. (Para. 2)Analysis: “Technically” here means according to the exact details of the rules and that-clause is a relative clause modifying “a dinner”; and “advertised by the government” is a past participle phrase modifying “the price”. “If he did so” can be paraphrased as “if the tourist ordered a dinner at the price advertised by the government”.e.g. Technically, your proposal is against the law.It is a question that needs careful consideration.He is a man loved by us all.-- “With your permission, sir,” I said, waiting for him to acknowledge me. (Para. 6)Analysis: “With your permission” is used to ask somebody to permit something. Here it means “May I be allowed to say a few words / to say about it?”e.g. With your permission, I’ll leave now.-- ... it was exactly the way it should have been by Toledo standards.(Para. 7)Analysis: “It should have been by Toledo standards” is used as a relative claus e modifying the way. Here “in which” is omitted. The subjunctive mood “should have been” shows that it is a subjective supposition.e.g. H e hated the way (in which) she talked.-- Special taste produced by hanging the bird without refrigeration, and much enjoyed by Spanish hunters and countrymen. (Para. 7) Analysis: This is an elliptical sentence which can be paraphrased as “The special taste was made by hanging ... ”. In this sentence, “produced by” and “enjoyed by” are two past participle phrases used to modify “special taste”.e.g. The fried chicken served by this fast-food restaurant has a specialtaste.-- ... but it was truly awful and I must have made a face, for the Englishman reached over,... (Para. 9)Analysis: “must have done (some thing)” is used to express a guess of something done in the past.e.g. He must have succeeded in the exam, for he is always smiling today.3.

In Professor Weinstein’s class, I could hear the tumbrels rolling through the streets of Paris during the French Revolution. And going back further, I can still recall things about the stars that I should have long ago forgotten if not for mysecond-grade teacher, Miss Scorchiotti. To me, a great teacher is one who performs a subject in a way that makes it come alive.A great boss does the same. They turn the day-to-day uninteresting jobs into a learning experience. They convince you that you and what you are doing actually matter. They give you confidence, which makes you more willing to ask a question, or assume responsibility, or even suggest a change in some age-old company process. In short, a great boss knows how to teach.So my advice to anyone bound for the job market in the coming years and to anyone looking for a different work experience is: Don’t interview for the right job. Interview for the right boss. Not a best person, but someone who is willing and able to help you grow professionally.What are some signs of the wrong boss? Well, anyone who:●is surrounded by the same team year after year. If you’re such a good teacher, why aren’t these people moving on and getting promoted?●is short of a sense of humor. Life is short. Work is hard. Let’s lighten up when facing something difficult.●loves typing. Hates talking. Why are you emailing me when I sit across the hall?Who are the best bosses I ever had? Angela, my first boss out of college, was very clever and outspoken. She ruffled feathers around the company but was eager to letme in on what she thought and why.My boss Tom used to say: “You can sleep when you’re dead.”Working for Tom was just a bit exhausting. But he was also unbelievably straightforward, and quick to ask advice and give it. We often had different opinions, yet our discussions helped both of us learn more about what we were trying to perform. A great boss both gives respect and earns it.And how do you know when you’ve found the right boss? Be yourself with them and see if the self they are with you is someone you want to learn from for a couple of years. If that person is dull or dogmatic in an interview, guess what they’re going to be like Monday through Friday? Interviewees are on their best behavior in that setting, but so are interviewers. You don’t like what you see? The power is yours. Go out and interview another boss.Language Points1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences1. (Para. 1) And going back further, I can still recall things about the stars that I should have long ago forgotten if not for my second-grade teacher, Miss Scorchiotti ... Analysis: This is a complex sentence. That introduces a relative clause to modify the stars, followed by an if-clause of condition. Attention should be paid to the subjunctive mood used here: should have forgotten, ... with the latter part being an elliptical clause which can be assumed to be if it were not for ...Translation: 再早些，我仍然记得有关星体的知识，若不是由于我二年级的斯高奇奥迪老师，我早就将其忘光了。
