Great minds
Reading
汉语是我们的母语，我们从学英语开始，就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言——汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率，而且久而久之，有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统，即在在汉语思维之外，还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统。
Einstein was born in 1879 in Ulm, a city
in Germany.
As a boy, he was slow to learn to talk, but later in his childhood he showed great curiosity about nature and ability to solve difficult mathematical problems. After he left school, he went to Switzerland, where he graduated from the university with a degree in mathematics.

④ 紧跟老师的推导过程抓住老师的思路。老师在课堂上讲解某一结论时，一般有一个推导过程，如数学问题的来龙去脉、物理概念的抽象归纳、语文课的分析等。感悟和理解推导过程是一个投入思维、感悟方法的过程，这有助于理解记忆结论，也有助于提高分析问题和运用知识的能力。
⑤ 搁置问题抓住老师的思路。碰到自己还没有完全理解老师所讲内容的时候，最好是做个记号，姑且先把这个问题放在一边，继续听老师讲后面的内容，以免顾此失彼。来自：学习方法网
② 根据自己预习时理解过的逻辑结构抓住老师的思路。老师讲课在多数情况下是根据教材本身的知识结构展开的，若把自己预习时所理解过的知识逻辑结构与老师的讲解过程进行比较，便可以抓住老师的思路。
③ 根据老师的提示抓住老师的思路。老师在教学中经常有一些提示用语，如“请注意”、“我再重复一遍”、“这个问题的关键是····”等等，这些用语往往体现了老师的思路。来自：学习方法网
A.how to do B. what to do with
C.how to do with D. what to do
编后语
老师上课都有一定的思路，抓住老师的思路就能取得良好的学习效果。在上一小节中已经提及听课中要跟随老师的思路，这里再进一步论述听课时如何抓住老师的思路。
① 根据课堂提问抓住老师的思路。老师在讲课过程中往往会提出一些问题，有的要求回答，有的则是自问自答。一般来说，老师在课堂上提出的问题都是学习中的关键，若能抓住老师提出的问题深入思考，就可以抓住老师的思路。
A 不定式结构作主语、宾语
To see one time is better than to hear a hundred times. 注：在很多情况下，特别是在口语中，如果这个不定式主语宾语太长，常采用先行it代替，而把不定式后置：

Chapter 8 Great Minds(3-Reading 2)学案(牛津深圳版九年级全册)

1. His attempt to explain how the universe works made him very famous.★attempt 在本句中作名词，意为“尝试，试图”句中的“to explain how the universe works”是动词不定式作定语，修饰前面的名词attempt。

可翻译为“他对解释宇宙如何运行的尝试”类似的动词不定式作定语的句子还有：I havc a lot of homework to do.我还有很多作业要去做。

本句中，不定式修饰名词.【小试身手】①我需要一些汉堡包来吃。

②没有理由来怀疑他的话。

attempt还可以作为动词，以为“尝试，试图”后面既可以接to do sth 也可接doing sth 如：He attempt to finish the task before July. 译为She attempted getting up, but she failed.译为2. It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you. 能为你这样的天才开车，是一件令人愉快的事情。

★It’s a pleasure (for) sb to do sth 做某事是某人的荣幸= Sb is pleased to do sth如：It’s a pleasure for me to help you. = I am pleased to help you.【口语表达】My pleasure 对别人表示感谢的一种礼貌回答“不客气”With pleasure 客气的接受或者同意“当然了，很愿意”A: ---Can you take care of my cat？B: ---It's my pleasureA:---THANK YOU！B: ---With pleasure.【小试身手】--- Can you help me? ------ Thank you for helping me. ---No one knows you at this university, so they won’t find out. 这所大学没有人认识你，所以他们不会发现的。

Unit 8 Great Minds

Unit 8 Great Minds☞Acquire the basic knowledge of the origin of Buddhism and the essence of Buddhist religion.Text A is the story of the founder of Buddhism—Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as Buddha. The philosophy of Buddhism has a profound impact on Asianideology, tradition, culture and so forth.Buddhism is still playing an irreplaceablereligious role in many Asian countries and even across the world. The authors of this textbook hold that, in addition to the knowledge of western cultures, Chinese English majors should achieve deeper understanding of our own culture, tradition and history. By learning Text A, students will learn about the origin, major principles of Buddhism and the commonly used terms of Buddhism.☞To learn how to pronounce /f/, /v/, /s/ and /z/, and know how to use some useful words and structures that contribute significantly to the text.In this section, the instructor should explain to the students how to pronounce these consonants and demonstrate the correct pronunciation of each consonant. They should also contrast some wrong pronunciations to the right ones, and analyze the reason for those errors so as to avoid further mistakes.It is strongly suggested that the instructor encourage students to read aloud tongue twisters before class. The instructor may refer to the advice provided in the section A Sip of Phonetics.Most useful words and structures of Text A can be found in Y ou’d like to Be. This is where students practice what they have learned from Text A.☞Learn to appreciate the perseverance displayed in the characters of these two great individuals.Students should learn to appreciate the spiritual strength from these two great individuals. Both Siddhartha Gautama and Socrates can be regarded as gurus — they persistently searched for the truth of life and human beings, passionately taught students regardless of their backgrounds, wealth or social status, and they were determined to achieve their goals and abide by their principles. Learning the stories of these people is certainly helpful for students to understand how to deal with difficulties and how to achieve their goals.Hands-on activities and Brainstorming☞Visit the suggested website on the story of Siddhartha Gautama available at /stories/index.html to gather the information onBuddha. Non-cyberists may rely on the library for gathering information.☞Develop the gathered information on Siddhartha Gautama into a presentation.The presentation should focus on the life experiences of the Buddha.
