There is no chance to develop a sense of trust when people meet to talk over issues. There are no like tea or coffee before discussing business, though this is a(n) in my country. When we discuss business it starts with a(n) chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being when there is too much pressure. I don't believe this is the best strategy for proper communication. Besides, the is that they just don't care about you as an individual here. You are basically just another of making money.All of this used to create a real for me. At first, it caused me to have as little with American business partners as possible.

In fact, learning to use chopsticks takes me a few weeks. This is not to say I was skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me, learning the rituals and how to myself at the table is quite difficult. times do I have to say "no, thank you" I really mean "no, thank you, I truly am full"? How do I get away with refusing more food without someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat it?

• Script: I'm Michal. I live in Poland, and Polish is my native language. I started learning English by listening to the Beatles everyday. At the beginning, I didn’t know what they were singing, but soon I started to understand individual words, and later, more. Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am delighted and feel proud because now I can understand a lot better. I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I really enjoy them. Besides listening to English songs, I also started reading science fiction books in English. I still remember how excited I was when I successfully finished reading the first English book, a great breakthrough in my life! When I read in English, I not only have the pleasure of reading but also get the feeling of self-accomplishment. English has given me so much satisfaction and pleasure. I feel I’m free.

Unit 1Learning the art of critical thinkingA. There is nothing more practical than sound thinking. No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent –in every realm and situation of your life –good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, and engenders frustration and pain.B. Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to "figure out the lay of the land" in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices.C. It is important to realize that serious study of thinking, serious thinking about thinking, is rare. It is not a subject in most colleges. It is seldom found in the thinking of our culture. But if you focus your attention for a moment on the role that thinking is playing in your life, you may come to recognize that, in fact, everything you do, or want, or feel is influenced by your thinking.D. To make significant gains in the quality of your thinking you will have to engage in a kind of work that most humans find unpleasant, if not painful – intellectual work. Yet once this thinking is done and we move our thinking to a higher level of quality, it is not hard to keep it at that level. Still, there is the price you have to pay to step up to the next level. One doesn't become a skillful critic of thinking overnight, any more than one becomes a skillful basketball player or musician overnight. To become better at thinking, you must be willing to put the work into thinking that skilled improvement always requires.E. This means you must be willing to practice special "acts" of thinking that are initially at least uncomfortable, and sometimes challenging and difficult. You have to learn to do with your mind "moves" analogous to what accomplished athletes learn to do (through practice and feedback) with their bodies. Improvement in thinking, in other words, is similar to improvement in other domains of performance where progress is a product of sound theory, commitment, hard work, and practice. Consider the following key ideas, which, when applied, result in a mind practicing skilled thinking. These ideas represent just a few of the many ways in which disciplined thinkers actively apply theory of mind to the mind by the mind in order to think better.1. Clarify your thinking.F. Our own thinking usually seems clear to us, even when it is not. But vague, ambiguous, muddled, deceptive, or misleading thinking are significant problems in human life. If we are to develop as thinkers, we must learn the art of clarifying thinking, of pinning it down, spelling it out, and giving it a specific meaning. Here's what you can do to begin. When people explain things to you, summarize in your own words what you think they said. When you cannot do this to theirsatisfaction, you don't really understand what they said. When they cannot summarize what you have said to your satisfaction, they don't really understand what you said. Try it. See what happens.2. Stick to the point.G. Be on the lookout for fragmented thinking, thinking that leaps about with no logical connections. Start noticing when you or others fail to stay focused on what is relevant. Focus on finding what will aid you in truly solving a problem. When someone brings up a point (however true) that doesn't seem pertinent to the issue at hand, ask, "How is what you are saying relevant to the issue?" When you are working through a problem, make sure you stay focused on what sheds light on and, thus, helps address the problem. Don't allow your mind to wander to unrelated matters. Don't allow others to stray from the main issue. Frequently ask: "What is the central question? Is this or that relevant to it? How?"3. Question questions.H. Most people are not skilled questioners. Most accept the world as it is presented to them. And when they do question, their questions are often superficial or "loaded". Their questions do not help them solve their problems or make better decisions. Good thinkers routinely ask questions in order to understand and effectively deal with the world around them. They question the status quo. They know that things are often different from the way they are presented. Their questions penetrate images, masks, fronts, and propaganda. Their questions make real problems explicit and discipline their thinking through those problems. If you become a student of questions, you can learn to ask powerful questions that lead to a deeper and more fulfilling life. Your questions become more basic, essential, and deep.4. Be reasonable.I. One of the hallmarks of a critical thinker is the disposition to change one's mind when given good reason to change. Good thinkers want to change their thinking when they discover better thinking. They can be moved by reason. Yet, comparatively few people are reasonable. Few are willing to change their minds once set. Few are willing to suspend their beliefs to fully hear the views of those with which they disagree. How would you rate yourself?J. The extent to which any of us develops as a thinker is directly determined by the amount of time we dedicate to our development, the quality of the intellectual practice we engage in, and the depth, or the lack thereof, of our commitment to becoming more reasonable, rational, successful persons.1. Critical thinking is a kind of art that can be trained to guarantee that you use the2. If other people are not satisfied with your summary of what they said, it means you have problems understanding what they said.4. You may find that your thinking influences whatever you do, or want, or feel, if5. Most people are unwilling to suspend their beliefs and seriously listen to others'6. Intellectual work, though unpleasant for most people, can help us make great8. In order to avoid thinking fragmentedly, you need to concentrate on finding the key9. Critical thinkers will change their minds when there are good reasons to do so,10. The process of learning to train your mind is similar to the process of athletes learning to train their bodies.1-5:BFACI6-10:DHGIE。

Text AEx.1 Understanding the text1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!”without any any specific comment.3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary.8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.Ex.3 Words in use1.condense2.exceed3.deficit4.exposure5.asset6.adequatepetent8.adjusting9.precisely 10.beneficialEx.4 Word building-al/-ial: managerial/editorial/substance/survival/tradition/margin-cy : consistency/accuracy/efficient-y : recovery/ministry/assemblyEx.5 Word building1.editorial2.recovery3.accuracy4.substance5.managerial6.margin7.assembly8.Ministry9.survival 10.tradition 11.consistency 12.efficientEx.6 Banked cloze1-5: L C J A I 6-10: O N E H FEx.7 Expressions in use1.feel obliged to2.be serious about3.run into4.distinguish between5.thrust upon6.was allergic to7.get lost8.be attracted to9.make sense 10.looked upon asEx.8 Structured writingSome bookworms in my dormitory often spend hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differencesbetween used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head . I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams . I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。

Language Points 3 A foreigner’s first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush – often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else ―wasting‖ it beyond a certain appropriate point.

新视野第大学英语读写教程2 (第三版) unit 1 课文原文

An impressive English lesson1 If I am the only parent who still corrects his child's English, then perhaps my son is right. To him, I am a tedious oddity: a father he isobliged to listen to and aman absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to.2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, fullof earnest anticipation.3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"4 And that was it. The civilization of Greece and the glory ofRoman architecture were captured in a condensed non-statement. My student's "whoa!" was exceeded only by my head-shaking distress.5 There are many different stories about the downturn in the proper use of English. Surely students should be able to distinguishbetween their/there/they're or the distinctive difference between complimentary and complementary. They unfairly bear the bulk of thecriticism for these knowledge deficits because there is a sense that they should know better.6 Students are not dumb, but they are being misled everywhere they look and listen. For example, signs in grocery stores point them to the stationary, even though the actual stationery items — pads, albums and notebooks — are not naileddown. Friends and loved ones often proclaim they've just ate when, in fact, they've just eaten. Therefore, it doesn't make any sense to criticize our students.7 Blame for the scandal of this language deficit should be thrust upon our schools, which should be setting high standards of English language proficiency. Instead, they only teach a little grammar and even less advanced vocabulary. Moreover, the younger teachers themselves evidently have little knowledge of these vital structures of language because they also went without exposure to them.Schools failto adequately teach the essential framework of language, accurate grammar and proper vocabulary, while they should take the responsibility of pushing the young onto the path of competent communication.8 Since grammar is boring to most of the young students, I think that it must be handled delicately, step by step. The chance came when one day I was driving with my son. As we set out on our trip, he noticed a bird in jerky flight and said, "It's flying so unsteady." I carefully asked, "My son, how is the bird flying?" "What's wrong? Did I say anything incorrectly?" He got lost. "Great! You said incorrectly instead of incorrect. We use adverbs to describe verbs. Therefore, it's flying so unsteadily but notso unsteady."9 Curious about my correction, he asked me what an adverb was. Slowly, I said, "It'sa word that tells you something about a verb." It led to his asking me what a verb was. I explained, "Verbs are action words; for example, Dad drives the truck. Drive is the verb because it's the thing Dad is doing."10 He became attracted to the idea of action words, so we listed a few more: fly, swim, dive, run. Then, out of his own curiosity, he asked me if other words had names for their use and functions. This led to a discussion of nouns, adjectives, andarticles. Within thespan of a 10-minute drive, he had learned from scratch to the major parts of speech in a sentence. It was painless learning and great fun!11 Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable possession: often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving witha road map in a well-conditioned car.12 The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won't tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey. Here, the vocabulary makes the journey's true colors come alive! A good vocabulary enables you to enjoy whatever you see as you drive along. Equipped with grammar and a good vocabulary, you have flexibility and excellent control. While the road map guides your journey to yourdestination, an excellent vehicle helps you to fully enjoy all of the sights, sounds and experiences along the way.13 Effective, precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two essential assets for students, but they are not being taught in schools.14 Just this morning, my son and I were eating breakfast when I attempted to add milk to my tea. "Dad," he said, "If I were you, I wouldn't do that. It's sour."15 "Oh my!" I said, swelling with pride toward my son, "That's a grammatically perfect sentence. You used were instead of was."16 "I know, I know," he said with a long agreeable sigh. "It's the subjunctive mood."17 I was, like, whoa!。

Important Points and Difficult pointsWords and expressions:Budget; acute; replace; elbow; leisure; assess; probe; significance; competent; account for; due to; pour into....Sentence patterns:Americans believe no one stands still; We are slaves to nothing but the clock; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course....III. Time Allotment (2 periods)Lead-in Review the main idea of the main reading, and ask students to answer some questions.(20 minutes)Q1: How time is treated in China? What is the difference with that in the USA?Q2: What is culture shock?Q3. How do Americans view time?Activity 1 Analyzing the passage from the words level, sentence level and discourse level. (50 minutes ) Activity 2 Teacher encourages students to express their after-reading feelings of this passage in speech or in writing. (20 minutes)IV. Teaching MethodsAnalysis and explanation. Group talk and interactionV. Teaching Procedures(2 periods)Lead-in Review the main idea of the main reading, and ask students to answer some questions.Q1: How time is treated in China? What is the difference with that in the USA?In China, people tend to spare some time to be stay together with their families or enjoy a peaceful time or relax themselves. But in USA, Time is treated as if it were something almost real.People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource. Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.Q2: What is culture shock?Culture shock is the personal disorientation a person may feel when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new country, a move between social environments, or simply travel to another type of life.The most common problems include: information overload, language barrier,generation gap, technology gap, skill interdependence,formulation dependency, homesickness (cultural), infinite regress (homesickness), boredom (job dependency), response ability (cultural skill set). There is no true way to entirely prevent culture shock, as individuals in any society are personally affected by cultural contrasts differently.Q3. How do Americans view time?Time is treated by Americans as if it were something almost real. People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.Activity 1 Analyzing the passage from the words level, sentense level and discourse level.Background informationCultural differences: Students and teachers need to be aware that the ethnocentric attitudes ofwriters are precisely the way cultural conflict is encouraged. Why is understanding a culturealways the others’ responsibility? Is it not possible that each culture could be made awa re ofdifferent conventions? Both sides must work at rising above cultural differences and be willing tocompromise… and, in both cases, most likely neither side has access to the cultural conventionsof the other so blaming is not the answer.Language Points:Paragraph 1:1. Americans believe no one stands still. (Para. 1)Meaning: Americans believe no one keeps motionless; everyone moves.Here "stand" means "keep or stay in a particular position or state". In this sense, "stand" is followed by adjectives. More examples:The room stands idle. 这房间闲置着。

When talking about the symbols of American culture, probably we will never leave out McDonald’s and Disney. McDonald’s is the world’s leading fast food service retailer.

That explains why the tearing down of the first McDonald’s restaurant had caused such a big stir in the minds of many Americans.
