2 It was late December, 1973. Some 14,000 screaming fans were crunching up to the front of the stage at Capital Center, outside Washington, D. C. Alice Cooper, America’s singing ghoul, was ending his act. He ends it by pretending to end his life --- with a guillotine. [0110:33] His “head” drops into a straw basket. “Ooh,” gasped a girl dressed in black. “Oh, isn’t that marvelous?” Fourteen-year-old Mike Perlie was there too, but his parents weren’t. “They think he’s sick, sick, sick.” Mike said. “They say to me, ‘How can you stand that stuff?’”

背景知识(Background knowledge)Rock MusicA form of popular music is characterized by a pronounced, amplified beat. Electric guitars are almost always the main instrumental sound source. The modem rock band's basic elements are one or more vocalists, an electric lead guitar and bass guitar and drums. A rhythm guitar is often included, and many bands also use keyboards. "Rock-and-roll" was coined in the mid-1950 by a Cleveland broadcaster, Alan Freed, to replace "rhythm-and-blues"——a term that Freed thought had too many racial overtones'. (It was being called "race music" in some quarters at the time.) Rhythm-and-blues was itself an updated, urbanized stylization of the blues, which had been developed mainly by rural or country-oriented black musicians. When the music was renamed rock-and-roll, it also underwent an elemental change, particularly when white performers saw how eagerly young audiences responded. "White" music——that is essentially conventional popular music with a decided country-and-western flavor——was blended with rhythm-and-blues, and young people continued to hold a proprietary attitude about it. Rock went through its share of phases and participated in a number of pop culture fads.课文要义(Main idea of the text)The author focuses on the social influences of the rock music in terms of sociology. By contrasting different attitudes toward the rock among the young and adult audience, the author points out that rock is served as an expression of social ideas, and also provides a debating stage for different ideas. Rock 'n' roll stars express the young generation's viewpoints on various political and social problems, and also help the society see its own beliefs and attitudes, and express the young men's feelings and hope.词汇(Vocabulary)1.adulation: (n.) excessive admiration or praise; flatteryThe magazine is full of the fan’s adulation of their favorite pop stars.杂志上充满了歌迷对他们所喜爱的歌手的吹捧。

It was not only a new musical form , but a forum for the American youth to express their ideas of the world and life .Music expressed its times . Rock music was a sociological expression rather than a musical force . It embodied the frustrated teenage spirit of the 1950s. At that time young people might be dissatisfied with the society or they had some hatred toward the adult world , but they could not protest it openly . So they would use music as an outlet . Then they could get some balance in their minds .Another aspect is that the young people could make their ideas and beliefs known to the world through music . By music , they could show their felling and dreams . So all in all , young people combined invention and exaggeration ,reason and motion , word and sound , music and politics as a whole .Lesson Two Four Choices for Young PeopleA.Answer the following questions on the text :1.How do American young people look at the adult world in general ?2.What does “drop out “ mean ? Why does the author say that the dropouts lead a parasitic way of life ?3.In What way are those who flee different from the dropouts ?4.Why is this solution no longer practical on a large scale ?5.What kind of young people tend to follow the strategy of armed revolution ?6.Why does the author say that the most unfortunate are those whose revolutions have succeeded ?7.What are some of the new problems faced by the young people ?8.What is the fourth alternative ? Why does the author favor this alternative ?Key A1.They view the adult world with great skeptism .They think their world is in pretty much of a mess , full of injustice ,poverty and war .2.“Drop out “means its practioners escape the traditional way of life , refuse to take any responsibility and live a parasitic life . Because its practioners batten on the society which they scorn and in which they refuse to take any responsibility .3.Those who flee are not parasites.They are willing to support themselves and to contribute something to the general community .4.Because our planet is running out of noble savages and unsullied landscapes , except for the polar regions , the frontiers are gone .5.The young people who have no patience with the tedious workings of the democratic process or who believe that basic institutions can only be changed by force tend to follow this strategy .6.Because they live in bitter disillusionment to see the establishment they have overthrown replaced by a new one , just as hard –faced and stuffy .7.The unprecedent problems of an affluent society , of racial justice , of keeping our cities from becoming uninhabitable, of coping with war in unfamiliar guises , and of population explosion .8.The fourth alternative is to try to change the world gradually .Because it offers a better chance for remedying some of the world ‘s outrages than any other available strategy ..B. Translate the following into Chinese :1.Apparently he speaks for a lot of his contemporaries .2.During the last few years , I have listened to scores of young people ,in college and out , who were just as nervous about the grown –up world .3.They are willing to support themselves and to contribute something to the general community , but they simply don’t lik e the environment of civilization ;that is ,the city , with all its ugliness and tension .4.A few gentleman farmers with plenty of money can still escape to the bucolic life .5.To them it offers a romantic appeal ,usually symbolized by some dashing and charismatic figure.6.For at best their victory never dawns on the shining new world they had dreamed of , cleansed of all human meanness .7.The revolutionary state , under whatever political label , has to be run –not by violent romantics –but by experts in marketing , sanitary engineering , and the management of bureaucracies.8.About all that can be said for it is that it sometimes works – that in this particular time and place it offers a better chance for remedying some of the world ‘s outrages than any other available strategy .Key B1.很显然他所说的代表了许多同龄人的想法.2.在过去的几年中, 我听到过许多大学内外的年轻人的谈话, 对于成人世界,他们也有同感.3.他们愿意自食其力,并对社会大众做些贡献.他们不喜欢文明的环境,也就是说, 不喜欢那种丑恶/紧张的城市生活.4.一些极富有的乡绅可以回到农村的田园生活.5.对他们来说,这有一种浪漫/传奇的色彩,通常是以某个有闯劲/魅力超凡的人物为代表的.6.即使革命成功,胜利的曙光也不会照在光灿灿的/梦想的/消除了人类一切自私的新世界上.7.革命的机器,无论贴上什么样的政治标签,还得由市场销售/卫生工程/官僚机构的行家们来操作,而不是由那些极端的浪漫主义者们去操作.8.这种方法的惟一优点是, 它有时真的有效,--在一个特定的时间和地点, 与其它可选的方法相比,它可以更好地改善世界上的倒行逆施行为.C.

Write a short passage of 150-200 words in English on the topic “M y Comment on the Fourth Choice .”You should cover the following points :!.what the fourth choice is ;2.What you agree on with the author and reasons for your agreement ;3.What you disagree on with the author , if any , and your explanation .My Comment on the Fourth ChoiceThe fourth comment is to change the world gradually , one clod at a time . Maybe at the first glance it is not inviting . It lacks glamour . It has no quick result . Itdemands patience . It depends on the exasperating and uncertain instruments of persuasion and democratic decision making .I think the author is right . Reforming the world is a little like fighting a military campaign in the Apennines , as soon as you capture one mountain range, another one looms just ahead . The problems are the same , too. Once some problems are brought under some kind of rough control , new problems take place . So we can’t solve all the problems at a time . We have to deal with one problem each time and change the world gradually and steadily . So problems can be handled in the same way that hard problems have been coped with before –piecemeal , pragmatically ,by the dogged efforts of many people . so I think in this particular time and place the fourth choice offers a better chance for remedying some of the world ‘s outrages than any other available starategy .Lesson Three The Use of ForceBy William Carlos WilliamsA.Answer the following questions on the text :1.why wasn’t the sick child in bed ?2.why were the girl’s parents eyeing the doctor up and down distrustfully ?3.What made the girl refuse to open her mouth to the doctor ?4.Why did the doctor insist on examining her throat ?5.Why was the doctor not able to see her throat since he already had the wooden tongue depressor into her mouth ?6.How did the doctor finally get see the girl’s throat ?7.Did the girl’s physical beauty have anything to do with the outcome of the incident ?Explain .8.Can you find any fault with the doctor’s behavior?Key A,1.Because it was damp there .2.Because they were the new patients to him and they were nervous .3.She didn’t want others to know that her tonsils were covered with membrane.4.Because the doctor took a trial shot that the girl might have diphtheria.5.Because she gripped the wooden blade between her molars and didn’t open her mouth to let the doctor have a look .6.The doctor overpowered the child’s neck and jaws , forced the heavy silver spoon back of her teeth and down her throat till she gagged .7.Yes , it did .

Lesson one The Middle Eastern Bazaar一.Background information二.Brief overview and writing styleThis text is a piece of description. In this article, the author describes a vivid and live scene of noisy hilarity of the Middle Eastern Bazaar to readers. At first, he describes the general atmosphere of the bazaar. The entrance of the bazaar is aged and noisy. However, as one goes through the bazaar, the noise the entrance fades away. One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods gather in the same area. Then the author introduces some strategies for bargaining with the seller in the bazaar which are quite useful. After that he describes some impressive specific market of the bazaar particularly including the copper-smiths market, the carpet-market, the spice-market, the food-market, the dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenter’s market which honeycomb the bazaar. The typical animal in desert----camels----can also attract attention by their disdainful expressions. To the author the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar is the place where people make linseed oil. Hence he describes this complicated course with great details.The author’s vivid and splendid description takes readers back to hundreds of thousands of years age to the aged middle eastern bazaar, which gives the article an obvious diachronic and spatial sense. The appeal to readers’ visual and hearing sense throughout the description is also a marked feature of this piece of writing.In short, being a Westerner, the author views the oriental culture and civilization as old and backward but interesting and fantastic. Through careful observation and detailed comparison, the author depicts some new and original peculiarities of the Middle Eastern bazaar which are unique and distinguished.三.Detailed study of the textParagraph 1 the general atmosphere of the bazaar1. The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back…of years:1) Middle East: generally referring to the area from Afghanistan to Egypt, including the ArabianPeninsula, Cyprus, and Asiatic Turkey.2) A bazaar is an oriental market-place where a variety of goods is sold. The word perhaps comesbazar.(中东和印度等的)集市,市场stones were aged and the economy was a handicraft economy which no longer existed in the West.2. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered…:1) is entered..: The present tense used here is called “historical present(历史现在时)”. It is usedfor vividness.2) Gothic: of a style of building in Western Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries, withpointed arches , arched roofs, tall thin pillars, and stained glass windows.3) aged: having existed long; very old3. You pass from the heat and glare of a big open square into a cool, dark cavern…:1) Here “the heat”is contrasted with “cool”, “glare”with “dark”, and “open square”with“cavern”.2) glare: strong, fierce, unpleasant light, not so agreeable and welcome as “bright sunlight”.强光,耀眼的光3) “cavern” here does not really mean a cave or an underground chamber. From the text we cansee it is a long, narrow, dark street of workshops and shops with some sort of a roof over them.is most disagreeable. But when you enter the gateway, you come to a long, narrow, dark street with some sort of a roof over it and it is cool inside.4. which extends as far as the eye can see:The word eye and ear are used in the singular not to mean the concrete organ of sight or hearing but something abstract; they are often used figuratively. Here the eye means man’s power of seeing or eyesight. E.g.1)She has an eye for beauty.2)The boy has a sharp eye.3)To turn a blind eye / a deaf ear to sth or sb.4)His words are unpleasant to the ear.5. losing itself in the shadowy distance…: shadowy suggests shifting illumination and distinct. E.g.A zig-zag path loses itself in the shadowy distance of the woods.(一条蜿蜒的小路隐没在树荫深处。

Lesson-1-The-Middle-Eastern-Bazaar-高级英语-第一册-
Lesson 1The Middle Eastern Bazaar①The Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds --- even thousands --- of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic - arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, dark cavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leaving the bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold. The din of the stall-holder; crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you dizzy.②Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, deadens the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit.③One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can know where to find them, and so that they can form a closely knit guild against injustice or persecution . In the cloth-market, for instance, all the sellers of material for clothes, curtains, chair covers and so on line the roadway on both sides, each open-fronted shop having a trestle table for display and shelves for storage. Bargaining is the order of the cay, and veiled women move at a leisurely pace from shop to shop, selecting, pricing and doing a little preliminary bargaining before they narrow down their choice and begin the really serious business of beating the price down.④It is a point of honour with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment. If he does guess correctly, he will price the item high, and yield little in the bargaining. The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer. Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customer coming and going at intervals.⑤One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ear. It grows louder and more distinct, until you round a corner and see a fairyland of dancing flashes, as the burnished copper catches the light of innumerable lamps and braziers. In each shop sit the apprentices – boys and youths, some of them incredibly young – hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the shop-owner instructs, and sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself. In the background, a tiny apprentice blows a big charcoal fire with a huge leather bellows worked by a string attached to his big toe -- the red of the live coals glowing, bright and then dimming rhythmically to the strokes of the bellows.⑥Here you can find beautiful pots and bowls engraved with delicate and intricate traditional designs, or the simple, everyday kitchenware used in this country, pleasing in form, but undecorated and strictly functional.⑦Elsewhere there is the carpet-market, with its profusion of rich colours, varied textures and regional designs -- some bold and simple, others unbelievably detailed and yet harmonious. Then there is the spice-market, with its pungent and exotic smells; and the food-market, where you can buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner, or sit in a tiny restaurant with porters and apprentices and eat your humble bread and cheese. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters' market lie elsewhere in the maze of vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. Every here and there, a doorway gives a glimpse of a sunlit courtyard, perhaps before a mosque or a caravanserai, where camels lie disdainfully chewing their hay, while the great bales of merchandise they have carried hundreds of miles across the desert lie beside them.⑧Perhaps the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar, apart from its general atmosphere, is the place where they make linseed oil. It is a vast, sombre cavern of a room, some thirty feet high and sixty feet square, and so thick with the dust of centuries that the mud brick walls and vaulted roof are only dimly visible. In this cavern are three massive stone wheels, each with a huge pole through its centre as an axle. The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel. This revolves in a circular stone channel, into which an attendant feeds linseed. The stone wheel crushes it to a pulp, which is then pressed to extract the oil .The camels are the largest and finest I have ever seen, and in superb condition – muscular, massive and stately.⑨The pressing of the linseed pulp to extract the oil is done by a vast ramshackle apparatus of beams and ropes and pulleys which towers to the vaulted ceiling and dwarfs the camels and their stone wheels. The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders creak and groan, ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can. Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the camels.中东的集市(中东的集市带大家认识中东国家的风土人情和生活习俗哥特式建筑!)中东的集市仿佛把你带回到了几百年、甚至几千年前的时代。
