4 Or look at any of the women’s magazines. There, as Bernard DeVoto once pointed out, advertising begins as poetry in the front pages and ends as pharmacopoeia and therapy in the back pages. The poetry of the front matter is the dream of perfect beauty. This is the baby skin that must be hers. These, the flawless teeth. This, the perfumed breath she must exhale. This, the sixteenyear-old figure she must display at forty, at fifty, at sixty, and forever.

What Is Happiness?
John Ciardi (abridged)
1 The right to pursue happiness is issued to Americans with their birth certificates, but no one seems quite sure which way it runs. It may be we are issued a hunting license but offered no game. Jonathan Swift seemed to think so when he attacked the idea of happiness as “the possession of being well-deceived,” the felicity of being “a fool among knaves.” For Swift saw society as Vanity Fair, the land of false goals.

summary
The story begins with the doctor-narrator unobtrusively observing an older man lying in a hospital bed. The patient is blind and has amputations of both legs. (We are given no medical details that cannot be observed in the room.) The narrator tends to the man's amputation wounds and answers a few simple questions. The man requests a pair of shoes. Back in the corridor, a nurse tells the doctor that the patient refuses his food, throwing his china plate against the wall of his room. The narrator hears the man and a nurse argue briefly about food and then, by himself, watches as the patient carefully and powerfully throws another dish against the wall. The

Unit 9 The discus thrower
The Discus Thrower
• Myron • Discobolus (Discus thrower) • 460-450 B.C. Marble copy of • bronze original. • 5 feet high
The Discus Thrower
• 掷铁饼者(Discobolos),大理石雕复制品,高约 152 厘米,罗马国立博物馆、梵蒂冈博物馆、特 尔梅博物馆均有收藏,原作为青铜,米隆(Myron) 作于约公元前450 年。 • 这尊被誉为“体育运动之神”的雕像,一望而知 是表现投掷铁饼的一个典型瞬间动作:人体动势 弯腰屈臂成S型。这使单个的人体富于运动变化 ,但这种变化常常造成不稳定感,所以作者将人 物的重心移至右足,让左足尖点地以支撑辅助, 以头为中心两臂伸展成上下对称,从而使不稳定 的躯体获得稳定感。身体的正侧转动,下肢的前 后分列,既符合掷铁饼的运动规律,又造成单纯 中见多样变化的形式美感。
• Step 3: Ask each student to make another one-minute statement on who should jump off and why. • Step 4: Give the student, who has been picked out to jump off, a chance to defend himself/herself. • Step 5: Close by asking the students to reach an agreement on who will survive.

• Situation: Suppose four friends are having a trip on a hot air balloon, but suddenly the balloon begins to deflate and two of them have to jump off the balloon to save the other two. Who will jump off and who will survive?
• Selzer’s writing career began in the 1970’s with the publication of Rituals of Surgery (1973), his first collection of short stories. Since then he published Mortal Lessons: Notes on the Art of Surgery (1976), Confessions of a Knife (1979), a collection of 24 essays, roughly half of which are surgical memoirs. Letters to a Young Doctor (1982), and his most recent collection, Taking the World in for Repairs (1986), Imagine a Woman (five novellas) (1990) and A Mile and a Half of Ink (a diary) (1990).

Describe a terminally ill patient you observed. How do you think the relationship between doctor and patient?
• Step 1 :Divide the whole class into groups of four. Assign each group a different set of identities. • Step 2: Ask each student to make a one-minute statement on why he/she should stay in the balloon.
Paragraph Analysis
• Paragraph 1
In this paragraph the narrator tells about one of his unique habits and justifies himself for it.
1) What is unique about the narrator as a doctor?
As a doctor he spies on his patients..
2) What does the narrator mean by asking the question “Ought not a doctor ... assemble evidence?” The quoted sentence is not a real question. The narrator poses this pseudoquestion to argue that he believes a doctor is entitled to spy on his patients for the sake of medical treatment. 3) Why does the narrator say “it is not all that furtive an act”? Because he wants to justify his action: he does not actually spy but rather observes his patients.
