New words & expressions P33-38III. Background Information1. ConfucianismConfucianism is the major system of thought in China, developed from the teaching of Confucius and his followers, and concerned with the principles of good conduct, practical wisdom, and proper social relationships. Confucianism has influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social values, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It has spread form China to Korea, Japan and Vietnam and has aroused interest among Western scholars. The principles of Confucianism are contained in the nine ancient Chinese works known asthe Five Classics and the Four Books.2.U.S. immigration laws against AsiansAsians’overseas migration has been limited by both natural and artificial factors. The Chinese, earliest to arrive, and the Japanese were long victims of racial discrimination. They suffered from the discriminatory laws that limited and excluded the Asian immigrants from the United States. The Chinese Exclusive Act in 1882 suspended Chinese immigration for 10 years. In 1965, a law was passed to allow immigrants from Asia to the United States.3. Protestant philosophyProtestant or Puritan philosophy is the value system of many protestants, which has influenced the capitalist society of the West. The philosophy includes belief in rational control of nature, active participation in society and individual hard work, thrift, discipline, self-improvement and responsibility. Unlike other religions that tend to prefer passive acceptance of nature and society, stress community and undervalue work, Protestants hold the view that man has free will to improve his condition.IV.

Why They Excel文章内容及翻译
Why They ExcelFox ButterfieldWhy are the Asian-Americans doing so well? Do they have higher 10s than other Americans? Or are they actually teaching the rest of us a lesson about values we have long treasured bun may have misplaced—like hard work, the family and education?为什么亚裔美国人表现得这么好?他们的10分比其他美国人高吗?还是说，他们实际上是在向我们其他人传授我们长期珍视的价值观——比如努力工作、家庭和教育——可能已经被取代了?Fortunately, the young Asians’ achievements have led to a series of intriguing studies.Sanford M. Dornbusch, a professor of sociology at Sanford, found, in surveys of 7,000 students in six San Francisco-area high schools that Asian-Americans consistently get better grades than any other group of students, regardless of their parents' level of education or their families' social and economic status, the usual indicators of success. 幸运的是，亚洲年轻人的成就引发了一系列有趣的研究。

Unit 2PASSAGE AIs Education Still an Important Part of Youth Athletics? Education is an important part of youth athletics in the US. Young kids, cooped up in class, long for the relative freedom of the football field, the basketball court, the baseball diamond. They long to kick and throw things, and the fields of organized play offer a place in which to act out these impulses. Kids are basically encouraged, after all, to beat each other up on the football field. Yet for all the chaos, adult guidance and supervision are never far off, and time spent on the athletic fields is meant to be productive. Coaches seek to give lessons in teamwork, self-sacrifice, competition, winning, and losing. Teachers at least want their pupils worn out so that they’ll sit still in reading class.教育是美国青少年体育的一个重要部分。
被局限于教室内的孩子们，是很向往自由空间的，像足球场，篮球场，和棒球场。

七年级下册英语第二单元讲解
七年级下册英语第二单元讲解Unit 2: My School Life。
Hello everyone! In this unit, we will explore the topic of "My School Life". We will learn about different subjects, school activities, and daily routines. Let's dive right in!Firstly, let's talk about subjects. In junior high school, students study a wide range of subjects. Some common subjects include English, Math, Science, Chinese, History, Geography, and Physical Education. English is an important subject as it helps us communicate with people from different countries. Math helps us develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills. Science teaches us about the natural world and how things work. Chinese is our mother tongue and it is important for us to learn and appreciate our own culture. History and Geography help us understand the past and the world around us. Physical Education keeps us fit and healthy.Apart from subjects, school life also involves various activities. One of the most exciting activities is the school sports meet. Students participate in different sports events such as running, long jump, high jump, and relay races. It is a great opportunity for students to showcase their talents and teamwork. Another important activity is the school concert. Students practice singing and dancing for weeks to put up a fantastic performance. It is a wonderful chance for students to display their creativity and confidence. Moreover, there are also school trips where students visit interesting places and learn outside the classroom. These activities enhance students' social skills, teamwork, and creativity.Now, let's move on to daily routines. Every student has a daily routine that includes attending classes, completing homework, and participating in extracurricular activities. A typical school day starts with morning assembly, where students gather to sing the national anthem and listen to important announcements. Then, students attend different classes according to their timetables. During breaks, students have time to relax, chat with friends, and have a quick snack. After school, students usually have extracurricularactivities such as sports practice, music lessons, or club meetings. Finally, students go home, have dinner, and complete their homework before going to bed.In addition to academic and extracurricular activities, students also face challenges and opportunities for personal growth. One common challenge is exams. Exams can be stressful, but they also motivate students to study hard and improve their knowledge and skills. Another challenge is making friends and building relationships. School is a place where students meet new people from different backgrounds. It is important to be friendly, respectful, and inclusive to create a positive and supportive learning environment. Moreover, students also have opportunities to develop leadership skills by taking on responsibilities such as class monitors or club leaders.To sum up, junior high school is a crucial stage in our education journey. It is a time of learning, growth, and exploration. We study various subjects, participate in exciting activities, follow daily routines, face challenges, and seize opportunities for personal development. Let's make the most of our school life and create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.Thank you for reading and I hope you found this unit on "My School Life" informative and interesting. Good luck with your studies!。
