Ways of LearningPart I Pre-Reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. Who should teach whom? Is learning a one-way street?2. Should we share our dreams for a better life with our parents or keep them to ourselves?3. Can children ever understand their parents completely?4. From the song can you guess what the theme of the unit, way of learning, chiefly refers to?Part IITextHoward Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.LEARNING, CHINESE-STYLEHoward GardnerFor a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.Benjamin loved to carry the key around, shaking it vigorously. He also liked to try to place it into the slot. Because of his tender age and incomplete understanding of the need to position the key just so, he would usually fail. Benjamin was not bothered in the least. He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.Now both Ellen and I were perfectly happy to allow Benjamin to bang the key near the key slot. His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. Any Chinese staff member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamin's hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The "teacher" would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you —and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties.I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinese educators.TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARNWith a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel. Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot, which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child is neither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, what possible gain is achieved by having him struggle? He may well get frustrated and angry — certainly not a desirable outcome. Why not show him what to do? He will be happy, he will learn how to accomplish the task sooner, and then he can proceed to more complex activities, like opening the door or asking for the key— both of which accomplishments can (and should) in due course be modeled for him as well.We listened to such explanations sympathetically and explained that, first of all, we did not much care whether Benjamin succeeded in inserting the key into the slot. He was having a good time and was exploring, two activities that did matter to us. But the critical point was that, in the process, we were trying to teach Benjamin that one can solve a problem effectively by oneself. Such self-reliance is a principal value of child rearing in middle-class America. So long as the child is shown exactly how to do something — whether it be placing a key in a key slot, drawing a hen or making up for a misdeed —he is less likely to figure out himself how to accomplish such a task. And, more generally, he is less likely to view life —as Americans do — as a series of situations in which one has to learn to think for oneself, to solve problems on one's own and even to discover new problems for which creative solutions are wanted.TEACHING BY HOLDING HIS HANDIn retrospect, it became clear to me that this incident wasindeed key —and key in more than one sense. It pointed to important differences in the educational and artistic practices in our two countries.When our well-intentioned Chinese observers came to Benjamin's rescue, they did not simply push his hand down clumsily or uncertainly, as I might have done. Instead, they guided him with extreme facility and gentleness in precisely the desired direction. I came to realize that these Chinese were not just molding and shaping Benjamin's performance in any old manner: In the best Chinese tradition, they were ba zhe shoujiao — "teaching by holding his hand" — so much so that he would happily come back for more.The idea that learning should take place by continual careful shaping and molding applies equally to the arts. Watching children at work in a classroom setting, we were astonished by their facility. Children as young as 5 or 6 were painting flowers, fish and animals with the skill and confidence of an adult; calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works that could have been displayed in a museum. In a visit to the homes of two of the young artists, we learned from their parents that they worked on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.CREATIVITY FIRST?In terms of attitudes to creativity there seems to be a reversal of priorities: young Westerners making their boldest departures first and then gradually mastering the tradition; and young Chinese being almost inseparable from the tradition, but, over time, possibly evolving to a point equally original.One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also beseen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later.However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon ).But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?New Words and Expressionsstylen. manner of doing things 行为方式,风格bustlinga. full of busy activity 繁忙的,熙攘的kindergartenn. 幼儿园elementarya. 基本的,初级的,基础的tellinga. impressive; effective 难忘的;有力的lobbyn.

Unit 1 “We’ve Been Hit”Section One Pre-reading ActivitiesI. Audiovisual supplementWatch the video and answer the following questions.1. What’s the building that was hit?2. What was the event? When did it happen?(插入视频)Script:News: We have unconfirmed reports this morning that a plane has crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center. CNN Center right now ...Officer A: Holy shit!News: ... work on this story, calling our sources and trying to figure out exactly what happened, but, clea rly, something relatively devastating happening this morning there. We’re going to join another one of our New Y ork affiliates for their live coverage. Here at the top of this tower, there’s a huge, gaping hole, flames still inside.Officer B: Can you believe this? What schmuck笨人 would fly a plane into the Trade Center? Officer C: Maybe they ran out of gas or something.Officer B: Y eah, Colovito. Right.Officer D: Maybe some jerk-off forgot which lever to pull on his twin-engine.Officer E: That’s not a sma ll plane.Officer B: Hell, no.Police Chief: All right, listen up! Let me have your attention here! They’re telling us it’s a commuter plane. Tower One is being evacuated as a precaution. They’ve asked us to send a team down to assist. Sergeant McLoughlin.Team Leader: I’ve got a list of names here. Step out when you hear it. We’re going downtown. (Roll-calling)Answers to the Questions:1. The building is the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New Y ork City.2. It was one of the 9/11 attacks. It happened on September 11, 2001.II. Cultural information1. President Bush’s address to the nation(添加录音gwb9-11address)Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes or in their offices: secretaries, business men and women, military and federal workers, moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable卑劣的 acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong.A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake thefoundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent削弱 the steel of American resolve. America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon灯塔 for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining. Today, our nation saw evil —the very worst of human nature — and we responded with the best of America. With the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could. Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergen cy response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New Y ork City and Washington D.C. to help with local rescue efforts. Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks. The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening for essential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow. Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.The search is underway for those who were behind these evil acts. I have directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor窝藏 them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning 谴责 these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences哀悼and assistance. America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight, I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a Power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23:Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for you are with me. This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.Thank you. Good night. And God bless America!2. September 11 attacksThe September 11 attacks (often referred to as September 11th or 9/11) were a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States on September 11, 2001. On that morning, 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New Y ork City, killing everyone on board and many others working in the buildings. Both buildings collapsed within two hours, destroying nearby buildings and damaging others. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Pennsylvania after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There were no survivors from any of the flights.The death toll of the attacks was 2,995, including the 19 hijackers. The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including nationals of over 70 countries. In addition, there is at least onesecondary death — one person was ruled裁决/认定 by a medical examiner to have died from lung disease due to exposure to dust from the World Tra de Center’s collapse.Section Two Global ReadingI. Main ideaThe text describes a particular episode in the disaster that occurred on September 11, 2001 in New Y ork, in praise of the courage and compassion of man. It presents three people in the attack, who demonstrated great valor trying to save those who were in danger and needed help.II. Structural analysis2. What is the function of the last part?It is a most touching scene. It seems to suggest that the author has, from what is described above, reached the conclusion about the ultimate moral dilemma: ―Save yourself, or save another.‖Section Three Detailed ReadingText INarration clues:Part One (1): Adam Mayblum worked in his office on the 87th floor of the WTC.Part Two (2-9): WTC was crashed. Adam Mayblum helped others and ran down himself.Part Three (10-30): Harry Ramos was the head trader4 at May Davis. He helped others. He and Hongzhu helped Victor, a heavyset man from the 53rd floor to the 36th floor. Harry Ramos stayed to help Victor and died.Part Four (31-34): May Davis held a gathering. People recalled Harry Ramos’s sacrifice due to helping V ictor.―We’ve Been Hit!‖With the building in flames, one man needed help. Another man refused to leave him.1 Adam Mayblum used to enjoy watching as storms lashed the windows of his office: Y ou think that’s power? Mayblum would scoff. I’m on the 87th floor of the World Trade Center1. That’s power. The drawstrings 拉绳on his window shades 窗帘would appear to sway 摆动slightly, but it was an illusion错觉. Although they were 1,040 feet in the sky, The WTC was quite steady.Paragraph 1Questions1. How much do you know about the World Trade Center?The World Trade Center was more than its signature twin towers: it was a complex of 7 buildings on 16 acres, constructed and operated by the Port Authority of New Y ork and New Jersey. The towers rose at the heart of the complex, each climbing more than 100 feet higher than the silver mast of the Empire State Building. The World Trade Center was hit by hijacked planes on September 11, 2001.2. What images are used to emphasize the steadiness of the WTC?Storms and drawstrings.Words and Expressions1. lash vt. hit violently or suddenlye.g. The farmer lashed the mules with a stick.The waves lashed the shore.Collocation:lash out (at / against sb. / sth.) make a sudden violent attack with blows or wordsSynonym:whip, beat2. sway vi. move or swing from side to sidee.g. He swayed slightly, as if about to fall.他身子一歪,像要倒下。

Unit 1Ways of LearningI. Teaching PlanningStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between the Chinese and theWestern learning styles) and structure of the text(introduction of topic by an anecdote elaboration by comparison and contrast-conclusion by a suggestion);2.appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways to compare andcontrast(point-by-point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.1. How much do you know about the difference between Chinese learning style and western one?2. Which one do you back up? Please state your reasons.1. Skimming1) Ss skim the passage and answer the Content Questions on Page 9:2)T tells Ss that there are many ways of introducing a topic (see T ext Analysis).Ss will decide which wayis adopted by Howard Gardner.3)T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 2 and Writing Strategy. Then Ss scanthe first sentence of both Para 6 and Para 7, and decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here (one-side-at-a-time method). Ss scan from Para 11 to Para 13, then decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here? (point-by-point method)2.Ss sum up the contrast between Chinese and Western ways to learn to fulfil a task (the Chinese show achild how to do something, or teach by holding his hand; Westerners teach a child to rely on himself forsolutions to problems).3.Ss sum up the contrast between the Chinese and the Western attitudes toward creativity and basic skills.(The Chinese give priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over time; Westerners put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking that skills can be picked up later.)4.T tells Ss that there are many ways of concluding an essay (see Text Analysis).Ss decide whichway is used in this essay.5.T explains language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).1. Debate: Should we develop children’s creativity first or train them in basic skills first?1)Ss divide into two groups, one taking the side of creativity first, another taking the side of basicskills first.2)In each group, Ss further divide into smaller groups of three to four, brainstormingarguments \ examples \ statistics \ quotes \ etc. in support of their viewpoint, as well as those that could be used to refute the other side.3)Debate begins, with T acting as moderator.2.T guides Ss through several after-text exercises.3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B).4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit:1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview Text A.Ⅱ. Text AnalysisAn essay is usually made up of three parts: a beginning where the topic is introduced; the body part where the topic is elaborated on, and a conclusion.Besides stating the topic directly, there are many other ways to introduce a theme. In this text, an anecdote or an incident is used. The author of Text A, Unit 6, Book 1 (What Animals Really Think) introduces his topic by posing a question: “Do animals all have thoughts, what we call con sciousness?” Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 (How to Make Sense out of Science) begins by quoting newspaper headlines:“New Drugs Kill CancerDevastation by El Nino — a Warning6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?”Text B of this unit, Children and Money, begins with an imagined argument between a child and his parent over the control of pocket money. Discover other forms of introduction as you read on. However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topicintroduction.Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a restatement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a quotation from some book or person, a prediction of future developments, a suggestion for further study, etc. Text B, Unit 3, Book 1 ends by giving a simile, comparing scientific research to mountain climbing, “a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.” In this text, Howard Gardner makes a suggestion in the form of a question.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Education in the West: There is no common agreement in the West concerning the best method of education. A variety of views can be found among parents, teachers and students. Indeed, it might be argued that it is this very existence of contending points of view that is characteristic of Western education. This can be seen as far back as in the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who encouraged his students to question everything, even their most fundamental beliefs. Y et even then there was no general agreement that this was the best way to teach. Socrates, after all, was condemned to death by his fellow citizens for corrupting the morals of the young by his way of teaching. Many later periods of Western history were no more tolerant of encouraging students to challenge traditional beliefs: Darwin’s theory of evolution, for example, was for a time banned from schools in some American states on the grounds of religious belief.Much of the current debate over education surrounds the extent to which learning should be teacher-based or student-based. Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods of learning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centred, expecting students to discover things for themselves rather than relying on their teachers to tell them. An extreme version of the student-centred approach can be seen at Summerhill, a school in England established by the educationalist A.S. Neill.There children have complete freedom to decide what they are going to learn and which lessons they will attend. If they wish they need not attend any at all. Mainstream education in England is far more strict, demanding that children attend lessons and follow a national curriculum. This curriculum and the importance of achieving good exam results tend to reinforce a more teacher-centred approach, as both teachers and students find the pressure of time leaves less opportunity for an exploratory approach to learning.The extent to which learning is teacher-centred or student-centred also depends on differences between subjects. In recent years, for example, there has been a trend in the teaching of mathematics in school classrooms in England away from having pupils work on their own or in small groups back towards a more traditional approach, with the teacher guiding the entire class step-by-step through a lesson. This followed research that suggested that, as far as maths was concerned, a more teacher-centred method was more effective.2. Standing on the shoulders of giants: a well-known phrase, frequently employed by inventors toexpress modesty about their achievements. The suggestion is that while they have been able to see further than those who came before them, it is not because they themselves are intellectual giants. Rather it is because they have been able to build upon the accumulated discoveries of their great predecessors.Ⅳ.
