Appendix C: 单词记忆的ACTION原则
ACTION原则是根据记忆心理学相关知识并结合英语单词记忆自身特点而总结出来的。

A即Association (联想)的缩略，意指我们在记忆英语单词时不要孤立的记忆，要发挥思维潜能，一并记忆与之相关的词汇，。

"联想"辐射的范围很广，可以是由部分联想到整体，以及其它事物，也可以是由某一特征联想到一类事物，还可以是读音、词形、词义方面的扩充联想等等。

例如：记忆单词mare（母马、母驴），从读音角度出发，我们可以联想到同音词mayor（市长），从词意角度出发，我们可以联想到donkey（驴），mule（骡子）等词，从词形角度出发，我们可以联想到一连串词汇：bare （赤裸的）care（关心）、dare（敢）、fare （费用）、hare（野兔）、flare（闪耀）、glare(强光)、pare（修剪）、rare（稀有的）、share（分享）、spare（空闲的）、prepare（准备）、square（广场）、stare（凝视）、tare（杂草）、ware （物品）等。

联想原则是扩充词汇，达到"一箭多雕"记忆效果的关键所在。

C即Contrast（对比）的缩略，意指通过对比，注意细微差别，进而加深印象，方便记忆。

对比原则从差别入手记忆单词，可视为便捷记忆的纽带。

例如：
Ambitious雄心勃勃的-ambiguous含糊不清的；today今天- toady奉承
pleasant 令人愉快的-pheasant野鸡，雉鸡fable寓言童话-feeble虚弱的
study学习-sturdy结实的，茁壮的anecdote轶事-antidote解药
T即Text surroundings （语境）的缩略。

一个单词脱离了实际使用的语境，想记牢会用是难以做到的。

将词汇置身于语境之中，通过反复阅读，提高认知能力，最后可以达到记忆的目的。

语境记忆是国内外语言教学专家和心理学家较为推崇的词汇记忆策略。

I即Induction（归纳）的缩略，归纳法是通过个体，探索并发现一般规律的方法，引入到
英语词汇记忆中来，意指通过个别单词发现规律，然后进一步探索、总结起来，统一记忆。

例如：有一些词，加词尾"-er"后的意思有了变化，有的已经没有"……的人或物"这个意思。

Show（表现）-- shower（阵雨，淋浴）Count（计算）-- counter（柜台，计数器）
Draw（画）-- drawer（抽屉）Bow（鞠躬）-- bower（树荫，凉亭）sew （缝制）-- sewer （阴沟，下水道）jump（跳）-- jumper（无袖连衣裙）flow（流动）-- flower（花）
O即Observation（观察）的缩略，观察是有所发现的前提，要求我们在记忆英语词汇时从词形入手，利用拆分，合并等手段解密内在联系，加以记忆。

例如：
Manifold (多种) = many (许多) + fold (折，折痕) Peacock（孔雀）= pea（蜿豆）+cock（公鸡）
另一种意义的观察是多注意与英语相关的事物，如：商品外包装上的英语，广告牌上的英语，衣物、饰品上的英语等，勤于积累、回顾，自然可以轻松记忆。

观察原则是化繁为简，创新记忆的法宝。

N即Note-taking（作笔记）的缩略。

作笔记是一种积累知识的手段。

记忆英语单词，更需要靠作笔记来整理要点，抒写心得等。

例如：
对同音词的总结：peak（山峰），peek（偷看），pique（愤怒）统读[pi:k] rain（雨），rein （缰绳），reign（统治）统读[rein]
对形近词的总结：petal（花瓣），petrel（海燕），petrol（汽油），patrol（巡逻）；
stimulate（刺激），simulate（模拟），accumulate（积累），emulate（竞争）。

作笔记是对记忆技巧和记忆实例的总结，必将有助于向更深层次发掘记忆方法之精髓。

Appendix D:记忆方法举例：英语单词记忆方法众多，最重要的是要遵循原则，找到适合自己的方法。

1）词根(etyma)词缀(affix)记忆法
顾名思义，通过记住词根词缀，并据此推测含此类词根词缀的新词的意思，加以强化记忆。

词根有两种，一种是可以引申出许多同根词的词根，同时它也是一个独立的单词，例如ease 作为独立单词，它又是easy，easily，easiness的词根。

另一种是不能独立使用的词根，但它有一个基本意义，在不同的单词中意思大致相同。

如：如："booklet"这个词，"-let"是后缀，为"小"的意思，很显然，"booklet"就是"小册子"的意思。

，从读音、词形、词义入手，归纳，总结分块记忆词汇。

2) 谐趣记忆法
谐趣记忆法是根据读音、词形、词义的关系，利用诙谐、荒诞的曲解来记忆词汇。

如：morose（忧伤的，郁闷的）=mo（方言，没有）+rose（玫瑰），试想，"没有玫瑰"的情人节怎能不"忧伤郁闷"？ponderous（笨重的），听发音，叫做"胖得要死"，想一下，"胖的要死"，能不"笨重"吗？
又如：记忆engineer，peer，pioneer，profiteer，steer，sneer，volunteer一组词，我们可以这样诙谐地理解：
拓荒者（pioneer）蔑视（sneer）权贵（peer）和奸商（profiteer），志愿（volunteer）为工程师（engineer）掌舵（steer）。

再如记忆Nepal（尼泊尔）这个词，一个比较浪漫又诙谐的方法是记忆下面这个句子中每个词的首字母：Never Ever Part As Lovers.（恋人永不分离）
3) 感观记忆法
感观记忆法是把耳、口、眼、手调动起来，把听、说、读、写统一起来，达到记忆目的的方法，这样做的好处是沟通大脑皮层各部分之间的联系，减少遗忘。

我们可以进行专一的记忆，也可以注意我们身边的英语，如电器设备上的英语，产品说明书上的英语，各种警示语、标
语等，还可以聆听外文歌曲，欣赏国外影视……耳濡目染，日积月累，反复回想，自然牢记。

例：许多品牌电池的外包装上有（battery电池）字样，许多洗发精瓶外有shampoo（洗发水）字样，自动取款机上的ATM（Automated Teller Machine自动取款机）字样，某些药品包装盒上的OTC（Over the Counter非处方药）字样等。

教师在授课过程中，应适当渗透相关知识，教育学生勤观察，多积累。

4) 分类记忆法
分类记忆法是按主题，所属范围等条件对词汇进行分门别类汇总，然后综合记忆的方法。

我们从医疗，购物外贸等方面归类，也可以按时间、决心、态度等主题来汇总，然后根据记忆原则记忆。

例如：按文学形式分类，我们可以归纳许多词：biography（传记），essay（杂文），reportage （报告文学），memoirs（回忆录），travels（游记），prose（散文），fiction（小说总称）等。

英语单词记忆方法众多，除以上列举之外，还有谚语记忆法，歌诀记忆法，卡片记忆法等等。

我们应遵循记忆的原则，把记忆单词视为一种乐趣。

教师在授课过程中要引导学生多想多联系，并对涉及的某方面知识作必要补充。

其实英语单词记忆学是一门非常有趣、非常吸引人的学问，多积累，多回顾，多探索，把握规律，就一定可以走出"死记硬背"的泥沼。

Appendix E:What the Americans Don't Talk About!~~~
Taboo topics tend to make people feel uneasy. Every culture has these off-limits subjects. Americans usually avoid talking about the following topics:
1.Age Age is a very sensitive subject to many Americans, especially to women over 30. Many Americans work hard to maintain a youthful appearance or at least give the illusion of youth.
Anyhow, if you are dying to know someone’s age, this is how you could go about finding out. First you estimate their age by their appearance and mannerism. Then you subtract ten years from that estimation. I guarantee you will get a big smile from that person who will also blush and say, ―Wow. You are my best friend. I’, 38 already. Can you believe it?‖ You, of course, reply, ―No. I really can’t. You’re kidding. You don’t look a day over 28. This is amazing.‖Now that’s one surefire way to boost someone’s ego!
2.Weight This is one of the touchiest subjects. In America, it is okay, even desirable to be thin, but it is a sin and a huge embarrassment to be overweight. If you would like to be honest but not hurtful, I recommend you choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying, ― Hey, you look great. Very healthy looking.‖
3.Income Your should never ever ask how much someone’s salary is. There’s no way around this one. However, it’s perfectly appropriate to ask about their job title and what they do for a living. This information should give you some idea how much they make a year.
4.Matters of the Heart This is a tricky one. The general rule is not to get too personal, too fast. You don’t want others to think that you’re prying into their lives. Therefore, try not to ask too many questions about someone’s love life, marriage and family until you have a friendship with this person. Even then, you better wait for your friend to come to you with the matters of their heart.
5.Is It Real? Many Americans are proponents of the all-natural look. But how many truly abide by this principle? The answer would be : not many. People want others to believe they’re simply born beautiful. So don’t ruin it for them by asking, ― Hey, I love your eye color. Is it real?

20世纪50年代，猫王的音乐开始风靡世界。

他的音乐超越了种族以及文化的疆界，将乡村音乐、布鲁斯音乐以及山地摇滚乐融会贯通，形成了具有鲜明个性的独特曲风，强烈的震撼了当时的流行乐坛，并让摇滚乐如同旋风一般横扫了世界乐坛。

截至1999年8月，RCA唱片公司和美国录音工业协会(RIAA)共追颁了131张的金唱片及白金唱片给猫王的女儿Lisa Marie，这是历史上获赠最多的金唱片及白金唱片纪录，猫王无疑是史上最伟大的演唱艺人。

同时，RCA也颁予'世纪艺人Artsit Of The Century'特别纪念奖感念这位一代巨星。

50年代的猫王影响了至少整整一代人，60年代以后，他们一直抱着一个幻想：他们心中的猫王只是被他自己打败了，只要让上了年纪并变得肥胖的猫王改变他拉斯维加斯／好莱坞式的生活方式，让他在封闭的装满他早期唱片的自动电唱机的房子里，听一听他自己的音乐，他就会发现一个曾经如此伟大的猫王，曾经如此光芒夺目的自己。

于是他会自己根自己斗争，最终取得胜利恢复往日的天才。

尽管这一幻想直到1977年8月16日猫王逝世的那天也没有实现，他在现代音乐中的地位依然无人可以取代。

他在50年代以及以后偶尔所表现出来的罕见的令人惊讶的才能叶柄没有因为他后期的活动而受到任何影响。

他，以白人身份把带有种族色彩的黑人节奏布鲁斯音乐介绍给了白人，所承受的压力和获得的成功都是非凡的；他牺牲青春换来永恒传奇，燃烧生命烙下20世纪流行文化的图腾，更让全球的观众至今仍激荡不已。

他的作品超越了任何一个影响摇滚乐历史的因素，他也决定了摇滚乐将采用的形式，他第一次使得青少年得以重视和发扬自己的音乐个性。

.尽管他的歌曲太简单肤浅，缺少力度和社会责任感，但这些久远传唱的曲目却真实地反映了第一代受摇滚思想影响的青少年的群体形象，他不仅拥有漂亮的容貌、标志性的扭胯动作和出色的舞台表演，更成为这个时代，这一代人的鲜明的标志。

蕴含了巨大潜力的整个年轻一代在他身上找到了反抗精神的共同性。

自猫王以后，鲜明的思想性和强烈的现实批判性的摇滚乐迅速流传。

也因为他的魅力，摇滚乐成为美国全民运动。

猫王开辟了摇滚乐艰难的前进道路。

Part I Sophie & Paul (1st class)
Introduction (3mins):
Romantic love is very much a part of American culture. Movies, TV shows and books in America all picture people falling in love. Americans know no romance is perfect, but still they try to find the ideal person. To find this ideal person, they need dating.
However, American young people don't always have a romantic interest in mind. Sometimes they may see a date as a time just to have fun. After some time, they may decide they want to go steady. This means they think of each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. It also means they don't want to date anyone else.
Of course, there are different types of dating. At first you might have group dates with several boys and girls together. Later, you start going on single dates--just one boy and one girl. When two couple go out together, it's called double dating. Now speed dating is becoming more and more popular. A friend might even arrange a blind date for you. That doesn't mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening! As you can find in the margin of Page 28. A Blind Date is an arrangement made for you to spend a romantic evening with someone who you have never met before. I think it’s somehow like a “marriage interview”, which is arranged by match-maker, parents, or friends.
The biggest problem in arranging a blind date, in my opinion, is how to make sure they two young people ―match‖. Let’s play a game to try whether we can arrange a successful blind date. Activity 1(8mins):
instructions: 3 students in a group, student A is match-maker, B is Sophie(Paul), C is Sophie’s friend (Paul’s friend)
step1(3mins). A is trying to fix up a blind date and A got two pictures, one is Sophie, the other Paul. Discuss with B and C to find out whether B want to have a blind date.
instructions for step 1: this step is aimed to practice the expression to describe people, especially people’s appearance.。
