This made Claudius very angry. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius banned marriage even engagement from his empire. But Valentine would keep on performing marriage ceremonies secretly. He was caught by the soldiers at a wedding, and was thrown into prison and beheaded.Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his jailer when he was in prison.

全新版大学英语第一册教案Unit 6 Animal Intelligence
Unit 6 Animal IntelligenceObjectivesStudents will be able to:1.understand the main idea ( some animals seem capable of thinking when it is in their owninterests to do so) and structure of the text (introduction, 3 subheadings to give 3 supporting examples, conclusion);2.appreciate the importance of examples in exposition;3.grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities centered upon thetheme of the unit.Time AllotmentPre-reading TasksRanking1) T dictate the following names of animals to Ss: pig, hen , dog, dolphin, elephant, monkey, rat, parrot, cat, ant.2) Students form groups to rank those animals according to their intelligence, and get ready toexplain the rationale behind the ranking. Ss may cite examples, anecdotes, personal experiences, scientific findings, etc.3) T invite speakers from several groups to report to the class.we are not going to dwell upon this point here. Instead, we will focus on the various transitional devices employed in the text.Headings and subheadings provide natural transitions between paragraphs or sections. However, it doesn’t follow that any other transitional devices are not welcome. For exa mple, the first sentence under the heading “ Let’s Mae a Deal” begins with “ Consider the time…”. This actually introduces an example to illustrate the point made by the author in the introductory part of this article. Or consider the first sentence under the heading “ Tale of a Whale”--- “ Why would an animal want to cooperate with a human?” Both the heading and the question direct readers’ attention to another demonstration of animal intelligence. The third heading and the sentence following it---- “ Sometimes evidence of intelligence can be seen in attempts to deceive.” ----function similarly.Another common transitional device is the use of anaphora and cataphora. The former is seen in the use of pronouns to refer to something, somebody or some event previously mentioned, the latter predicting something, somebody or some event that will soon be mentioned in the discourse. This text mainly employs anaphora.Besides, conjunctions also pave the way for a smooth transition of ideas. Take the first sentence o f para.6 for example: “Miles also tried to teach Chantek more virtuous habits such as saving and sharing.” The conjunction “also” connects this paragraph with the previous one. “ Such as” introduces a new example to be mentioned in the sentences to follow.In the beginning sentence of a new paragraph, one may also sum up the main idea of the previous paragraph or section, then go on to introduce the topic of the current paragraph. The first sentence of Para. 5----“If an animal can show skill in trading thin g for another, Why not in handling money?”----- is a good case in point.Cultural NotesColumbus Zoo: Little is known about the Columbus Zoological Company or the Columbus Zoo. It first appeared in the 1903 City Directory as "Columbus Zoological Gardens, High 2 mile north of city limits." On May 28, 1905, the Columbus Zoo held its official grand opening. The zoo occupied 215 acres in Beechwold, and included not only animals, but rides, picnic grounds, merry-go-rounds, billiard halls and a dance pavilion. The Columbus Zoo closed on October 7, 1905, just four short months after its official opening. All that remains of the zoo is the Monkey House (now a private residence), Rustic Bridge Road (the kissing bridge) and Elk Drive.

She is well known for the experimental style of many of her books. She was one of the first writers to use the “stream of consciousness”, a way of describing a person’s thoughts and fee lings as a flow of ideas as the person would have experienced them, without using the usual methods of description. She was a member of the Bloomsbury Group and is considered an important early writer about feminism (the idea that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men). Her best-known novels include Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928).2. Weddings in the West: Until the middle of the 19th century, weddings in Western society were modest events that took place in homes. By 1900 formal weddings and their attendant rituals had become major events in middle-class families. The white wedding — a formal affair with the bride dressed in white — is now the standard throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe, and its practice has spread to Asia and Africa as well.Many weddings involve a religious ceremony. These ceremonies vary depending on the religion of the bride and groom. Various religions or denominations have distinctive wedding customs. Roman Catholic ceremonies involve a nuptial mass, during which many scriptural texts concerning marriage are read. The presence of a priest and at least two witnesses is essential, as is the expression of consent by the bride and groom. In Orthodox Jewish celebrations, the bride and groom stand under a chuppah —a canopy that symbolizes the home the couple will establish. Following the ceremony the groom smashes a wineglass.Some couples prefer a nonreligious, or civil, wedding ceremony. Such weddings typically occur in commercial wedding chapels or reception halls, courthouses or other governmental offices, or outdoors. These events tend to be smaller and less formal affairs than traditional religious ceremonies. A government-certified, secular official administers the ceremony in the presence of at least two witnesses. Other couples elope — that is, they have a private wedding ceremony that does not involve a gathering of family and friends.Most couples exchange some sort of marriage vows (promises). Vows may be prescribed by the church or written by the couple. Traditional Protestant vows include the promise to love and to cherish, for better and for worse, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, until parted by death. The minister asks the bride and the groom if they each make this promise to the other and each responds “I do.”Following the wedding ceremony, religious or civil, many couples hold a reception. At the reception friends and family gather to eat, drink, listen to music and dance, make toasts, and give gifts to the bride and groom. During the reception, the couple typically cut a special, large cake that is shared with all the guests. The bride and groom may also conduct a receiving line where they greet and thank each guest for attending their wedding.Many newlyweds take a honeymoon trip after their wedding. During the honeymoon, the couple can spend time by themselves exploring their new status as husband and wife. 3. Marriage tips: Here is a list of Ten Rules for a Happy Marriage from a couple who reached their 50th anniversary and successfully made their marriage a promise for life. See how many of these are rules you will live by:1.Never both be angry at the same time.2.Never yell at each other unless the house is on fire.3.If one of you has to win an argument, let it be your mate.4.If you must criticize, do it lovingly.5.Never bring up mistakes of the past.6.Neglect the whole world rather than each other.7.Never go to sleep with an argument unsettled.8.At least once every day say a kind or complimentary word to your life partner.9.When you have done something wrong, admit it and ask for forgiveness.10. Remember it takes two to make a quarrel.4. Piccadilly: a famous street in London’s West End, between Piccadilly Circus and Hyde Park Corner. Some of Lon don’s most expensive hotels, shops and clubs are on Piccadilly. The origin of the name is not known.5. House of Commons: the lower house of the British Parliament, in which elected Members of Parliament meet to discuss current political issues and vote on Acts of Parliament.6. the East End: an area to the east of the City of London, from the Tower of London along the north bank of the River Thames. It contains most of the old docks, where many of the local people used to work. The people living in the East End were mostly poor but well known for their friendly and lively nature. With recent new housing developments, the character of the area has completely changed.7. Whitechapel: a district in the East End of London. It has a reputation as one of the poorest areas of central London, and one where many immigrants have settled. In the late19th and early 20th centuries many Jewish people came to live in Whitechapel, and it still has many Jewish shops and businesses.8. Tower of London: one of the oldest and most famous buildings in London, England. It is an ancient fortress on the north bank of the river Thames to the east of the city, and is a popular tourist attraction. It was made a World Heritage Site in 1988.The building of the Tower was begun in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, and completed in the 13th century. At various times it was a royal palace, the last monarch to live there being James I in the early 17th century. It is best known, however, as a prison in which many famous people accused of crimes against the king or queen were kept. These included Mary Queen of Scots, Anne Boleyn and Thomas More.9. Mansion House: the official home of the Lord Mayor of London, in the City of London. The building was completed in 1753 and contains the Egyptian Hall, where official dinners, etc. are held.Ⅲ.

New Horizon College English (Book 4)I. Warm-up activities1.Background informationChrysler Corporation (A)The Chrysler Corporation, founded in 1924, used to be one of the three largest American automobile manufacturers whose brands include both passenger and commercial vehicles such as Chrysler, Jeep® and Dodge. The two other largest American automobile manufacturers are General Motors and Ford.Chrysler Corporation (B)In addition to auto making, Chrysler is also engaged in financial services, providing loan services (mostly) to car buyers. In 1998 it merged with Daimler-Benz AG (of Germany) (best known for its Mercedes-Benz brand name) to become part of the DaimlerChrysler Corporation, which is jointly owned by European, U.S. and other international investors.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (A)A U.S. government agency, whose mission is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. The Commission was set up by the U.S. Congress in 1933 in response to “Black Monday”, the Great Stock Market Crash in 1929.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (B)Its purpose was to restore investor confidence in the U.S. capital markets by providing more structure and government oversight. It is based on the concept that all investors, whether large institutions or private individuals, should have access to certain basic facts about an investment prior to buying it. To achieve this, the SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public, which provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to use to judge for themselves if a company’s securities are a good investment.U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (C)It is believed that only through the steady flow of timely, comprehensive and accurate information can people make sound investment decisions. At present the SEC is comprised of five presidentially-appointed Commissioners, four Divisions and 18 Offices, with a total of about 3,100 staff.The International Chamber of Commerce (A)The aim of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), founded in 1919, is to serve world business by promoting trade and investment, open markets for goods and services, and the free flow of capital.The International Chamber of Commerce (B)Its activities cover a broad spectrum, from arbitration and dispute resolution to making the case for open trade and the market economy system, business self-regulation, fighting corruption or combating commercial crime. The ICC is made of a World Council (its governing body) and individual national committees and groups. Individual companies, corporations, professional associations as well as individuals can also join the ICC as individual members.2.Questions and answers1)-Why do business students study professional ethics?People feel that bribery is increasing throughout the world. One day, business students will grow into managers of all ranks and in all fields. If they should offer or take bribes in their positions, corruption and unfair competition would result. In that case, normal economic order would be ruined, and people in business circles would have no commonly agreed principles to follow. Toprevent this, business students are now required to study professional ethics as part of their course.2)-Why do the people in the motor industry have to give bribes or extra discounts?People in the motor industry argue that the market is very competitive. If they don’t give bribes to make the customers happy, one of their rivals will. And, as a result, they are likely to lose their share of market, which is unacceptable to both the salespeople and the company.3)-Why do some members of the ICC probably feel the code of conduct should not be legally enforceable?Some members of the ICC feel that it is not the business of the ICC to enforce the code of conduct. They believe that government should make and impose it, and the job of the ICC is only to state what is right and what is wrong in conducting business.II.Drills of important phrases in the text1. 在增长中on the increase (L. 3)2. 明确向某人表示；明确告知某人make it clear to sb. that… (L. 6)3. 坚持原则stand by one’s principles (L. 8)4. 有高尚的道德标准have high moral standards (L. 9)5. 私下里；秘密地；在私生活里；在家里in private (L. 15)6. 为方便讨论起见/为了政治目的for discussion/political purposes (L. 30/32)7. 正在调查中under investigation (L. 34)8. 因可能触犯商业法规for possible violations of business laws (L. 35)9. 资助某人做某事finance sb.’s efforts to do sth.

On the whole, the bribery can fall into three categories: for political purposes or to secure major contracts; to obtain quicker official approval of some projects; and to obtain help with the passage of a business deal. To ban bribery, ICC favors a code of conduct. However, the ICC members are of different opinions. The headache is still there to stay in business.2.How is the text organized?The passage is broadly put into three parts: bribery has become a common occurrence in many countries, three main categories of bribery, and the efforts to ban bribery and the result. The whole passage is organized in problem-solution pattern. In the first part, the phenomenon (the problem) is described; in the second, the questionable payments are analyzed; and in the third, the efforts forsolution and the result are presented.The illustration of the problem (Paras. 1-4)Bribery is a common occurrence in many countries. The phenomenon is introduced by “classes on business ethics”, and exemplified by two examples: a British car manufacturer and the Chrysler Corporation.The analysis of the problem (Paras. 5-8)Questionable payments can be divided into three categories: 1. Those for political purposes or to secure major contracts; 2. Those for obtaining quicker official approval of some projects; 3. Those for help with the passage of a business deal.The solution of the problem (Paras. 9-11)ICC is to set up a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. And a council has been proposed to manage the code. However, opinions differ among the members of ICC. Bribery seems inevitable.3.Text analysisPart I: ( para. 1-4 )：Bribery is a common occurrence in many countries.Part II: ( para 5– 8) ：Three broad categories of bribes.Part III: ( para. 9 – 161) ：Efforts made by ICC to ban bribery.IV. key words and expressionsA.
