She passed her examinations quite well and then went to look for work. She was still living with her parents.A lot of people were looking for typists at that time, so it was not difficult to find interesting work. Rose went to several offices, and then chose one of them. It was near her parents' house. She thought, "I'll walk there every morning. I won't need to go by bus. "She went to the office again and said to the manager, "I want to work here, but what will you pay me?""We'll pay you 27 pounds now," the manager answered, "and 30 pounds after three months."Rose thought for a few seconds before she answered.

Lesson-11-The-Midnight-Visitor

Lesson 11 The Midnight VisitorRobert ArthurTeaching objectives1.To get students to know something about the author and secret agents.2.To guide students to understand and appreciate the text.3.To help students to master the key words, phrases and sentences.4.To foster the four basic skills of students.Teaching contents1.Background information about the author and secret agents2.Key words, phrases and discourses in the text.3.Writing styles and techniques of the text.4.Discussions and debates about the topic.Teaching techniquesTo integrate several different teaching methods and techniques: elicitation; explanation; illustration and discussion.Teaching proceduresI Background (50 minutes)1. About the author:Robert Arthur was born on November 10, 1909, at Fort Mills, Corregidor Island, the Philippines. Arthur graduated from the University of Michigan in 1930 with a B.A. in English. After working as an editor at one of the Publications, he returned to the University of Michigan where he received his M.A. in Journalism in 1932.He then moved to New York City, where he lived in Greenwich Village. (美国纽约市作家等聚居的)格林威治村During this time, he began to work as a writer and editor for detective magazines. Between 1930 and 1940, his stories were published in a great variety of detective stories, such as Wonder Stories, Detective Fiction Weekly, Mystery, Thrilling Detective, Startling Stories, Collier's, The Phantom Detective.2. About secret agentsIn this lesson we’ll read about a secret agent or international spy. Have you ever seen Hollywood movies of secret agents. Which movie or secret agent impressed you most? I think 007 movies are most amazing. Do you agree? Are you attracted by James Bond. What is James Bond like?young, strong, handsome, attractive, irresistible to women, intelligent and having infinite powerIn contrast to 007, what is the image of the secret agent called Ausable in our text? Can you describe him? Fat, sloppy, unhealthy, no guns, no threat to anybody, no linguistic genius,nothing mysterious, nothing romantic, nothing excitingBeing a secret agent so far away from the commonly accepted image, what is it that makes Ausable so uncommon?In the case of Ausable, the most outstanding feature must be his wisdom, his presence of mind （镇定，沉着）and his quick wit. He is not strong physically, but he can beat his enemy. He is fat and slow, but he reacts very quickly. He carries no weapon, but he has an excellent brain which is more powerful than any magic weapon. He appears helpless, but he gets rid of his deadly enemy without lifting a finger. There is no shooting or fighting, but the battle of wits is even more exiting and appealing.It is precisely this commonness that makes him so uncommon. The author is very clever in portraying him in this way in contrast to the general image because it makes the story fresh, unexpected and dramatic.II Structure analysis (30 minutes)Part I (1--5) tells who Ausable is and why Fowler wants to see him.In this part our impression of Ausable is no different from Fowler’s. Therefore, like Fowler, we as readers arenot at all prepared for what is to happen next.Part II (6--16) describes the unexpected visit of Ausable’s adversary Max.This gives Fowler as well as us a great start. Ausable also says he is totally unprepared, but in fact he is very calm. He talks as if he has admitted defeat. Actually he is already laying out a plan to deal with the situation. This is why he keeps talking about the balcony.Part III (17--28) tells us how Ausable outwits Max and makes him jump onto the “balcony”III. Detailed analysis (100 minutes)A. Sentence paraphrasing (40 minutes)1. Ausable didn’t fit the description of any secret agent.→Ausable was not at all what a secret agent should look like.2. … hardly a setting for a romantic figure.→…not the kind place suitable for a romantic person like a secret agent3. I was…dealing in espionage and danger.→I was a secret agent, engaged in spying and such dangerous work.4. Before long you will see a paper…into official hands.→…Soon you will see a document/a report come to me and when I receive that paper, I’ll place it in the hands of the proper authorities. By that time I will have fulfilled my task/mission.5. It will be safer in my hands than in yours.→We can assume that Max is an Eastern German defending the secret document of new Russian missiles. The question here is not in whose hands it will be safer. It is a life-and-death struggle.6. I’m going to raise the devil with the management this time.→He was making up a story, which turned out be a trap for Max.7. It was an ordinary window, against which now the night was pressing blackly.→The night was pressing against the window blackly or threateningly.B.
