《初中英语九年级全一册》Unit 6 Lesson 18 Steve Jobs刘新娟北京市通州区第四中学教材分析本课是北师大版《初中英语》九年级教材第6单元第18课，该单元的话题为模范和榜样，本课Lesson18的主题是成功人士如何获得成功。
本文是一篇关于Steve Jobs的人物传记类文章。
文章首先介绍了Steve Jobs是何许人-----他是当今世界最具价值的苹果公司的合作创始人，他创造了当今世界无数人日常生活都离不开的众多电子产品。
紧接着作者分三个段落围绕他的早年生活和教育经历、早期工作和之后的成就、他的性格及与人相处的方式等三个方面讲述了他的生平，最后是作者对他的评价。
本篇人物传记以时间为轴，从出生和教育经历、到早期工作和取得的进展，以及个人性格特点等，采用过去时态展开陈述，凸显出Steve的成功之路并不一帆风顺。
从家庭看，他从出生就遭到遗弃，从教育看，他很聪明但并不适合正规教育，又因家庭无力支付学费被迫停学，他设法又坚持学习了18个月，但始终也没有拿到一张文凭。
从工作看，他于1976年与两位朋友合伙创办了苹果计算机公司，但是第一个产品不成功，到1985年他被解雇了。
他没有放弃，而是又创办了另外一家计算机公司，之后还创建了一家电影公司，他的电影公司获得了很多奥斯卡奖，并且出品了多部成功的电影，包括：T oy Story, WALL-E and Up。
当他1996年再回到苹果公司后，他改变了公司的很多东西，使之成为了一个在国际范围都有广泛影响力的企业。
从性格上看，他是一个善于组织团队工作领导，但是同时又脾气暴躁、固执己见、不能容忍不同意见。
本文的明线是Steve Jobs的生平，记录了他的人生轨迹，也记录了他是如何走向成功的。
作者并没有用很多笔墨记录他成功背后的原因，而是以暗线方式铺垫了成功的因素，引导出他的坚持和不放弃的性格是促成他成功的根本原因。
文中值得探讨的问题还有，Steve没有文凭，但是却获得了成功；他不仅做计算机，还创办了电影公司，他的性格的两个方面等，都可以引导学生联系自己进行思考和讨论。
