Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane,(2) the expressiveplane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means sincewe don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms. The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to youremotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refersto the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2)means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into thesehypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actualones. Here, the planes are not real, they are just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kindof brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathe in the sound means to immerseyourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere soundappeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quitelistening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject youare talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.Unit 3 Art for art’s sake825 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous planeis an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone else without having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest means don’t let ittake up a wrong amount of your interest.The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some peoplewill probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you arenervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or thatyou cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances – shades of meaning –of different kinds ofsadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easily),sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate –we can’tavoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how importantit is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, theharmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (thetune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse),harmony (how the notesof music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound ofnotes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition andvariation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theater will make this instinctivecorrelation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that is intended to show that the twoare similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both ofthem.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.Teaching tipsTo go through the answers, T assigns Numbers 1–7 to seven Ss, and ask each student to read onedefinition. T then assigns Numbers 8–14 to another seven Ss, and ask them to give corresponding answersorally. For example, “You could use the word constitute,” or “That means the same as constitute.”1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hittinga drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known.

Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist anda choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followedhim, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect senseof (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky,(7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You mayneed to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition.

He says most listeners are not conscious enough of the third plane, but thatdoesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, and his insights into theeffective way of listening to music.√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses theanalogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.Active reading (2)Language points1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors andlandscapes. (Para 2)Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focusmostly on nature.2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not only ofa butcher’s boy, Pieter, butalso of the painter himself.

In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up differentcolours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprenticeor assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret.(Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usuallyfor low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal forpeople to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron.

新标准大学英语综合教程3课后练习答案_Unit_3
Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms.The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2) means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual ones. Here, the planes are not real, they are just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kind of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathe in the sound means to immerse yourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere sound appeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite listening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject you are talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane is an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone else without having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of yourinterest means don’t let it take up a wrong amount of your interest.The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some people will probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you are nervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or that you cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances –shades of meaning – of different kinds of sadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easil y), sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate – we can’t avoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how important it is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (the tune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse), harmony (how the notes of music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound of notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and variation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theater will make this instinctive correlation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that is intended to show that the two are similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of them.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting a drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4. Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is (3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore the possibilities of the keyboard, and a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music wasrediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky, (7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)2 It’s quite easy t o make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy)It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.3 We are amazed by her ability to express herself with great clearness and simplicity. (clarity)4 How many artists have given up everything for the cause of their art? (for the sake of)5 Internet emerges as a powerful and effective force in advertising new products. (potent)6 I enjoyed the performance, but I thought the clothes the actors were wearing were a bit silly. (costumes)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you split something up, do you (a) divide it into parts, or (b) put the parts together?2 If you do something absent-mindedly, are you (a) thinking about what you are doing, or (b) thinking about something else?3 Do you look for consolation (a) after a piece of bad news, or (b) after a piece of good news?4 If you are treading on controversial ground, are you (a) taking a risk, or (b) making everybody happy?5 If you shy away from something, do you (a) keep close to it, or (b) keep your distance from it?6 If you pin something down, are you (a) able to examine it carefully, or (b) unable to examine it carefully?7 If you know the melody of a piece of music, are you familiar with (a) the tune, or (b) the meaning of the music?8 Is an instinctive reaction to something (a) automatic, or (b) one which follows a lot of thought?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?(a) To show how complex listening to music is.(b) To get people to listen to music more.(c) To discourage some people from listening to music.(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.2 Who does the writer address as you?(a) Musicians.(b) Theatregoers.(c) Composers.(d) Intelligent music lovers.9 Check (¸) the statements you agree with.√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that we listen in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.No, he doesn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enough of the third plane, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, and his insights into the effective way of listening to music.√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses the analogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.Active reading (2)Language points1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors and landscapes. (Para 2)Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focus mostly on nature.2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not only of a butcher’s boy, Pieter, but also of the painter himself. (Para 6)To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to be working at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in his world. (Para 6)To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest, understand or take part in what he does.4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise, and takes her on as his studio assistant. (Para 7)The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that she is likely to be successful as an artist in the future.5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer will use for his paintings ...(Para 7)To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powder by crushing it between two surfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artis ts made their own paints by grinding up different colours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice or assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so theapprenticeship takes place in secret. (Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar t means asking the artist to produce a particular work of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 someone who looks at a picture, photograph, or piece of art (viewer)2 a painting, drawing or photograph of someone, especially of their face only (portrait)3 relating to people’s homes and family life (domestic)4 the inside part of something, especially a building or vehicle (interior)5 as a result (consequently)6 to start to employ someone or use their services (engage)7 to officially ask for a piece of work to be done for you (commission)6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1) portraits painted. But from the Renaissance onwards things changed. Firstly, the growing importance of the middle classes led many ordinary people to (2) commission paintings, often of members of their family. Secondly, artists became interested in showing scenes of (3) domestic life, set in the (4) interiors of ordinary houses, and (5) consequently they began to (6) engage ordinary people, such as servant girls, as models. Part of the mystery for (7) viewers today concerns the identity of these models, in masterpieces suc h as Leonardo’sMona Lisa and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.Additional activity7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box.1 He changed his religion from Protestantism and became a Catholic. (converted)2 One of the assistant’s jobs was to break into a powder the paints.

8 The third plane on which music exists is the sheerly musical plane. Besides the pleasurable sound of music and the expressive feeling that it gives off, music does exist in terms of the notes themselves and of their manipulation. Most listeners are not sufficiently conscious of this third plane.

The word our indicates that this is a story of personal experience.2 But there was something else.What is the purpose of this short sentence?This indicates that studying for the final exams was not the only concern of the students. So it is a transition from studying for final exams to the next topic getting a job after graduation.3 I went home at Thanksgiving ...Why does the writer change from we to I?Because this changes the focus onto the writer as an individual. The we paragraphs are general background to the main narrative about thc individual, which is coming.4 "So?" he said.What is the effect of the change to direct speech?This change to direct speech opens a moment-by-moment dialogue. This slows down the narrative of events but gives a good impression of how the writer found it difficult to say what he wanted to do and how the father made few comments.5 Crabs fascinated me.How does the focus change with this sentence?The topic shifts to crabs. The sentence also arouses the readers' interest - we expect some fascinating new information ab6ut crabs here. Later, we realize how the topic of crabs,is connected with the son finding a job, and the crabs' behaviour leads the father to give memorable advice.6 My father started the motor and we set off back home.Is this an effective conclusion? Why / Why not?Yes, we don't know what happens next, but the implication is fairly clear that the father would support the son's idea of travel and of being a writer. It makes a better conclusion not to say it explicitly, as it leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation.10 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 What sort of relationship do the father and son have?The son seems afraid of being criticized for his ideas about a career and expects resistance from his father. However, the father actually supports what his son wants, but he makes him think about it by watching the crabs. So at the beginning we feel their relationship may not be good, but later it becomes clear that they have a good relationship and, in fact, their relationship has improved by catching crabs together.2 Do you think the son respects his father?The son does respect his father, and the crab-catching episode adds to this respect because the father finds a good way of showing support to his son and making him think more about his plans.3 Do you think the father understands his son?Yes, because he says, "I kind of wish I'd done that when I was your age." Also, his way of teaching his son - through observing crabs - shows that he understands his son well.4 What is the father trying to tell his son by showing him the crabs?He is teaching his son not to follow conventional expectations and peer pressure. He tells his son not to be pulled back by others, and to find out more about himself- what he enjoys, where his interests and skills are, how he wants to work, because if he doesn't figure these things out, he will never be happy.5 How successful do you think the "crab story" is?It is successful in showing the father-son relationship through catching crabs and it makes readers think about not being pulled back by others.6 Is the father pleased that his son wants to be a writer?He doesn't say so, but it seems he wanted to travel or write when he was young himself. His use of the words, "Interesting idea" and "Interesting choice", could be ambiguous, or may show support. The way he says "We've never had a writer in the family" does seem to be positive. So he's pleased but he doesn't want to say it directly.Developing critical thinking11 Work in pairs and discuss the questions.1 How important is it to be ambitious in life?It is a complicated question. On the one hand, it seems good to be ambitious because most people want to be successful and having an ambition probably makes you work harder for your goals and that's good. On the other hand, we feel some reservations. Some people are ambitious to be extremely rich, famous or powerful. We really wonder whether these are the most important things, because some ambitious people seem to work only for themselves, so they work against other people rather than for or with others. On balance, we suppose it is important to be ambitious, but it depends on exactly what kind of ambition you are thinking of.2 Is being ambitious a positive part of personality?Well, this is one of those qualities which are OK as long as you don't go to extremes. We think it probably depends on how ambition is related to the rest of your personality. What we mean is this: If a person only focuses on ambition it can get out of proportion - too much ambition can lead to all sorts of negative aspects of a personality. But being ambitious can be very positive if it is related to other positive qualities like wanting to make an effort and do your best with honesty and sincerity, and also to help your family, other people and your country. So our conclusion is: Yes, ambition is a positive part of personality as long as it is related to other positive qualities.2 How much time should students spend planning their future?Well, if you don't spend any time planning a future, it may never happen. If you spend too much time planning it, it won't happen either, because you won't actually be doing anything about it, only thinking.We think the father in Catching crabs is right: You need to spend some time thinking about what you enjoy and what interests you, where your skills are, and then plan to try some jobs in those areas in order to discover what you are good at and what makes you happy. We think, as students, this is as much a matter of thinking and planning as of trying out different things, for example, doing part-time jobs and holiday work to get experience. So we conclude by saying that planning and doing go together, really.Is it part of a university's role to help students choose a career?Universities are supposed to teach students advanced knowledge and skills within different disciplines, to help them develop their thinking, creativity and awareness of citizenship, cultures and peoples in the world. Of course, helping students choose a career is not the same as getting them work. It is more a matter of helping them identify what they are good at and how their majors may prepare them for different professions. We think universities can help us choose a career by providing information about different professions and jobs, and by inviting professionals and employers in different fields to universities to talk to students. So, to conclude, yes, we think this is part of a university's role, a small but important part.。

I'm not a veryCompletely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation of Botswana is particularly susceptible to cultural trends and influences from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa. However, there is a burgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinct artistic traditions.The oldest evidence of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills, located in northwestern Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert. Dating to 1,000 —2,000 years ago, these rock paintings form the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority culture. Today, the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads, which they consider to represent good luck and good fortune. Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest-known man-made bead; they have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000 —45,000 years ago.The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gaborone is the centrepiece of modern art in the country. It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa; it holds regular exhibitions highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and artists. The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of the country, the duties of which include preservation, education, and promotion. Twentieth and twenty-first century painters include Phillip Segola, Ann Gollifer, and Neo Matome.Spring in Gaborone, the capital city, sees the annual Maitisong Festival —the country's largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city arenas as well as ticketed indoor events at Gaborone's theatres and arts venues. Performing arts organizations, such as the Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian variety. Handwoven baskets, one of the specialties associated with Botswana, are of extremely high quality. Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region, they are woven with the leaves of the Mokolwane palm andutilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique colours and desig ns (typically associated with the n ati on's traditi on al lifestyle). Due to the abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork has also developed as an importa nt and widespread han dcraft. Traditi on ally used to make cloth ing, bla nkets, and sleeping mats, leather is today more often used to make designer bags, belts, and accessories.41.

This is understandable since so many famous artists come from these regions. Many art museums are filled with paintings and drawings from European and North American artists from the past few hundred years. All countries, however, have a unique artistic heritage, so it should come as no surprise that countries throughout Africa and Asia have their own artistic styles and histories?Completely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation ofBotswana is particularly susceptible to cultural trends and in flue nces from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa ? However, there is aburgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinet artistic traditi ons.The oldest evidenee of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills, located in northwestern Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert? Dating to 1,000—2,000 years ago, these rock paintings form the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority culture. Today, the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads, which they consider to represent good luck and good fortune. Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest-known man-made bead; they have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000_ 5,000 years ago.The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gabor one is the cen trepiece of moder n art in the country. It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa; it holds regular exhibitions highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and artists. The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of the country, the duties of which include preservation, education, and promotio n. Twe ntieth and twenty-first century painters in elude Phillip Segola, Ann Gollifer, and Neo Matome.Spring in Gaborone, the capital city, sees the annual Maitisong Festival—the country's largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city arenas as well as ticketed in door eve nts at Gaborone'stheatres and arts venues ? Performing arts organizations, such as the Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian variety. Handwoven baskets, one of the specialties associated with Botswana, are of extremely high quality. Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region, they are woven with the leaves of the Mokolwane palm and utilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique colours and desig ns (typically associated with the nation's traditi on al lifestyle). Due to the abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork hasalso developed as an important and widespread handcraft. Traditionally used to make clothing, blankets, and sleeping mats, leather is today more often used to make designer bags, belts, and accessories?41.

unit 1Reading and understanding3 Choose the best summary of what happened in the crab cage.3 The cage was full of crabs.

You also need to be very (2) ambitious - the film business is very competitive. You have to be prepared to work hard and be very (3) productive because it takes more than just one good idea to make it big. No matter how (4) impressive your idea is, there will always be (5) resistance from producers because it's too expensive. So make sure you have plenty of others to show them. What are you waiting for? Get on with writing that brilliant (6) script and plan your (7) acceptance speech for when you win your first Oscar!7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.1 We've seen a place we like and we're applying for a loan to buy a house.

Look at the sentences from the passage and answer the questions.1 In the fall ofourfinal year, our mood changed.Why does the passage begin with a time expression?The use of the time expression, together with the past tense, is a signal that this is a narrative with a sequence of events. The word our indicates that this is a story of personal experience.2 But there was something else.What is the purpose of this short sentence?This indicates that studying for the final exams was not the only concern of the students. So it is a transition from studying for final exams to the next topic getting a job after graduation.3 I went home at Thanksgiving ...Why does the writer change from we to I?Because this changes the focus onto the writer as an individual. The we paragraphs are general background to the main narrative about thc individual, which is coming.4 "So?" he said.What is the effect of the change to direct speech?This change to direct speech opens a moment-by-moment dialogue. This slows down the narrative of events but gives a good impression of how the writer found it difficult to say what he wanted to do and how the father made few comments.5 Crabs fascinated me.How does the focus change with this sentence?The topic shifts to crabs. The sentence also arouses the readers' interest - we expect some fascinating new information ab6ut crabs here. Later, we realize how the topic of crabs,is connected with the son finding a job, and the crabs' behaviour leads the father to give memorable advice.6 My father started the motor and we set off back home.Is this an effective conclusion? Why / Why not?Yes, we don't know what happens next, but the implication is fairly clear that the father would support the son's idea of travel and of being a writer. It makes a better conclusion not to say it explicitly, as it leaves a lot of room for personal interpretation.10 Work in pairs and answer the questions.1 What sort of relationship do the father and son have?The son seems afraid of being criticized for his ideas about a career and expects resistance from his father. However, the father actually supports what his son wants, but he makes him think about it by watching the crabs. So at the beginning we feel their relationship may not be good, but later it becomes clear that they have a good relationship and, in fact, their relationship has improved by catching crabs together.2 Do you think the son respects his father?The son does respect his father, and the crab-catching episode adds to this respect because the father finds a good way of showing support to his son and making him think more about his plans.3 Do you think the father understands his son?Yes, because he says, "I kind of wish I'd done that when I was your age." Also, his way of teaching his son - through observing crabs - shows that he understands his son well.4 What is the father trying to tell his son by showing him the crabs?He is teaching his son not to follow conventional expectations and peer pressure. He tells his son not to be pulled back by others, and to find out more about himself- what he enjoys, where his interests and skills are, how he wants to work, because if he doesn't figure these things out, he will never be happy.5 How successful do you think the "crab story" is?It is successful in showing the father-son relationship through catching crabs and it makes readers think about not being pulled back by others.6 Is the father pleased that his son wants to be a writer?He doesn't say so, but it seems he wanted to travel or write when he was young himself. His use of the words, "Interesting idea" and "Interesting choice", could be ambiguous, or may show support. The way he says "We've never had a writer in the family" does seem to be positive. So he's pleased but he doesn't want to say it directly.Developing critical thinking11 Work in pairs and discuss the questions.1 How important is it to be ambitious in life?It is a complicated question. On the one hand, it seems good to be ambitious because most people want to be successful and having an ambition probably makes you work harder for your goals and that's good. On the other hand, we feel some reservations. Some people are ambitious to be extremely rich, famous or powerful. We really wonder whether these are the most important things, because some ambitious people seem to work only for themselves, so they work against other people rather than for or with others. On balance, we suppose it is important to be ambitious, but it depends on exactly what kind of ambition you are thinking of.2 Is being ambitious a positive part of personality?Well, this is one of those qualities which are OK as long as you don't go to extremes. We think it probably depends on how ambition is related to the rest of your personality. What we mean is this: If a person only focuses on ambition it can get out of proportion - too much ambition can lead to all sorts of negative aspects of a personality. But being ambitious can be very positive if it is related to other positive qualities like wanting to make an effort and do your best with honesty and sincerity, and also to help your family, other people and your country. So our conclusion is: Yes, ambition is a positive part of personality as long as it is related to other positive qualities.2 How much time should students spend planning their future?Well, if you don't spend any time planning a future, it may never happen. If you spend too much time planning it, it won't happen either, because you won't actually be doing anything about it, only thinking.We think the father in Catching crabs is right: You need to spend some time thinking about what you enjoy and what interests you, where your skills are, and then plan to try some jobs in those areas in order to discover what you are good at and what makes you happy. We think, as students, this is as much a matter of thinking and planning as of trying out different things, for example, doing part-time jobs and holiday work to get experience. So we conclude by saying that planning and doing go together, really.Is it part of a university's role to help students choose a career?Universities are supposed to teach students advanced knowledge and skills within different disciplines, to help them develop their thinking, creativity and awareness of citizenship, cultures and peoples in the world. Of course, helping students choose a career is not the same as getting them work. It is more a matter of helping them identify what they are good at and how their majors may prepare them for different professions. We think universities can help us choose a career by providing information about different professions and jobs, and by inviting professionals and employers in different fields to universities to talk to students. So, to conclude, yes, we think this is part of a university's role, a small but important part.。

Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad one. You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotional feeling around your theme.
