4.2 listening-centered activities
Task 1: the importance of love
Task 2: vedio clip
Listen to the tape and answer the following questions.
A Poem: What Makes A Dad ?
V. reading centered activities:
5.1 pre-reading questions
While you are walking in the street, you often meet with disabled persons. On other occasions, you may know some disabled persons in your neighborhood. What kind of feelings you have toward them? Do you feel sorry for them? Is your heart filled with sympathy? Or are you always ready to help them? If you know anyone who is disabled, please talk about your feelings about him or her.
1) Can you imagine the world of the handicapped (their life and feelings)?
2) What’s your feeling/attitude towards the handicapped?
Hint:
feel pity for hide Intolerable look away in embarrassment recognize sb. as an ordinary person be oneself manage to ignore
sample answers:
When I see a disabled person on the street I feel sorry for him/her. I know a disabled person whose leg has been broken when he was young. But he did not lose heart. He makes a living by repairing radios and watches for others. He often repairs radios and watches free of charge. I admire his courage to face difficulties.
I don’t think our country has done enough for the disabled. For example, some colleges refuse to admit disabled students. In many buildings, there aren’t any special routes for the disabled, as there are in Japan and the U.S. So I think we should do something to help the disabled.
3) How do you feel if you were seen to be with to a handicapped person and if he were one of the
family members you love most?
Hint:
strong-minded body/mind/spirit not give up set an example learn from physically mentally live a hard life laugh at unsympathetic cold-blooded justified call for sample answer:
I know many people who are disabled physically but are very strong-minded. Take Zhang
Haidi for example, though she is seriously ill in body, she is very healthy in mind. She never
gives up I life. She’s set an example for many people, both the fortunate and the unf ortunate. I think we should all learn from her and never give up when faced with difficulties.
The disabled people are sometimes living in misery, especially the mentally disabled. A neighbor of mine, who was born low-intelligent, has been deserted by his family since the day I remembered things. He has to live on begging. Neither are the people sympathetic. I wonder why people are so cold-blooded. Shouldn’t he be better taken care of? Here, I call for sympathy to the disabled. And I wish laws be made not to look down upon the disabled people.

his hand on my arm for balance 是独立主格结构（absolute construction）做伴随性状语。

【解析】once（conj.）一旦……（就），一……就……（引导状语从句）, once there是一省略句，=once he got there。

that 引导定语从句，that 在从句中做kept 的宾语, 意思等于the warmer air kept the lower steps ice-free。

困窘之际，他大叫起来：“谁坐到我这儿来我就跟他打! 谁坐到我这儿来我就跟他打!”
提示：这句话充分表现了父亲的复杂性。

一方面，父亲是乐观向上的，他乐于参加各种活动，哪怕是打架，他也不愿袖手旁观；另一方面，身体上的残疾所带来的心灵上的创伤也是难以愈合的，他无法忍受被排斥在某种活动之外，因此，他渴望一切正常人的活动。

这句话的潜台词就是：“倘若处在同样的条件下，我并不比任何人差！”
11) But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take
a dive even before the bout began.
【解析】take a dive（美俚语）（拳击中）假装被击倒

如果不是现在这种情形的话，我也能做这些。

”
13) I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks.
【解析】sense v.感觉到，意识到
【译文】我不知道他当时是否感觉到了我曾不愿意别人看见我和他走在一起。

【例句】Although she said nothing, I could sense her anger.
虽然他什么也没说但我能感觉到他的愤怒。

16) If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it.
【解析】did = sensed，意识到的；unworthy：可耻的，卑鄙的。

【译文】如果他感觉到了，我很遗憾我没有告诉过他我后来感到多么难过，多么渺小，多么后悔。

17) You set the pace , I will try to adjust to you .
这个句子在本文中出现了两次，它的意义也发生了变化。

在儿子幼年时，他是父亲走路时的依靠、生活的希望和奋斗的动力，因此, 当跛脚的父亲说出这句话时，他对儿子的热爱、信任、以及不屈不挠的个性便跃然纸上。

而儿子说这句话时，已是成年，这句意味深长的话表现出双关的意义。

Set the pace, 除了具有“赛跑中确定步速，领先于别人”的意思，还引申为“给别人做榜样”。

随着年龄的增长，儿子不再为残疾的父亲而羞愧，相反，从父亲身上，他看到了一个高尚的灵魂，一颗随时可依傍的善良之心。

但此时此刻，父亲却已作古，“子欲养，而亲何在”，被悔恨和愧疚折磨的儿子，只能对着冥冥中父亲的亡灵重复着他生前的话。

这一方面表现了他欲追随平凡而伟大的父亲的决心，另一方面，也从侧面说明父亲是不朽的，因为他已成功地将一种伟大的精神融到儿子的身上。

这句话在文中有点睛之妙。

For the ends of being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old grief's, and with my child’s faith
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints--I love the with thee breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life—
and if God choose, I shall but love you better after death.。
