Text organization (20 minutes)1)T asks Ss to scan the text to see if there is any natural dividing lines separating it into parts. (The textcan be divided into three parts. Between each part, there is a blank line.)2)T draws Ss’ attention to Text Organization Exercise 1, guides them through the directions, so that theycan grasp the main function of each part.3)Ss scan the text again to underline all the names mentioned and tell who these persons are.(They are: Jamie Beaulieu, waiter at Sam Walton’s birthday partyJonnie Baker, night manager at the local Wal-MartRichard Hoback, Mayor of Bentonville, ArkansasGordon Garlington, pastor of the local churchJohn Marshall, local barberJim V on Gremp, corporate affairs directorFerold F.

Using indirect description in portraying a person (25 minutes)1)Ss complete Text Organization Exercise 2 and compare answers with each other.2)T makes Ss think by asking Ss this question: How does the author reveal these character traits of SamWalton? Does he come forward to tell us directly what Sam Walton is like?3)T introduces methods of indirect description and writes them down on the blackboard: anecdotes,examples, quotes, comparison and contrast, etc. (see Text Analysis)4)Ss work in pairs to find out examples of these methods.5)Some pairs report their findings to the class.6)T urges Ss to adopt these methods when describing a person.2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview Text A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisTo make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce.Of all the methods of indirect description, the one used most frequently in Text A is quotation. The author quotes not only Sam Walton himself, e.g. “The reason for our success... is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit”, but also his townsfolk and colleagues (as shown in while-reading tasks in the Suggested Teaching Plan).The text begins with an anecdote: how waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons, only to find an ordinary-looking household. This kind of beginning lures readers to go on. There are other anecdotes, like how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber, and how he lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.Sam Walton is a folksy guy, of which a lot of examples are given. Examples of how generous an employer he is are also plentiful.Jamie Beaulieu’s anticipation and the reality he later found out form a contrast. It reveals Sam Walton’s down-home characteristics. When retired company president Ferold F. Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer, we appreciate further Sam Walton’s generosity.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Rolls-Royce: any of the large, expensive, comfortable cars made by the British company Rolls-Royce.Many people recognize them by the small metal statue on the front of every Rolls-Royce car. The company was formed in 1905-1906 by Charles Rolls (1877-1910) and Henry Royce (1863-1933) and also produces aircraft engines. The Rolls-Royce company was bought by the German company V olkswagen in 1998. The name Rolls-Royce is also used informally to refer to the best product of a particular type.2.dime store: a store offering a wide assortment of inexpensive items, formerly costing five or ten cents, forpersonal and household use.3.Wal-Mart: any of a very large chain of shops in the US selling a wide range of goods at low prices.The first Wal-Mart Discount City was opened in 1962 by Sam Walton.4.Ford Motor Company: a large US company that makes cars.

These names are sometimes called Christian names or given names. Some people have only one given name, a few have three or more. Friends and members of a family who are of similar age usually call one another by their first names. In some families young people now also call their aunts and uncles and even their parents by their first names. Outside the family, the expression be on first name terms suggests that the people concerned have a friendly, informal relationship.When writing their name Americans commonly give their first name, their middle initial and their last name, e.g. George M. Cohan. Both given names are used in full only on formal occasions, e.g. when people get married.6. Forbes: an American business magazine.

Pre-reading questions for discussionDiscuss and answer the following questions.1.What ,in your opinion,are the disadvantages of growing older?2. What do you think are the virtues of being young?3.Most people are afraid of death and therefore afraid of getting older,but are there any virtues of old age that you can observe and appreciate?Step II. An Integrated Analysis of Text 1The Virtues of Growing Older.Structural analysis of the text1. The passage can be divided into three parts.Part One: (Paragraph 1-2 ) this is the introductory paragraphIt tells that our society worships youth and being young is often pleasant ,but being older has distinct advantages.Part Two: (Paragraph 3-5) It describes the virtues of growing older in details:We no longer feel anxious about what others will think ;We have already made many of critical decisions;The greatest benefit of being older is knowing who i am.Part Three:（Paragraph 6）this is a conclusion paragraphThe writer winds up her discussion with a reference to her parents’ contentments in the last paragraph.Step III. Comprehension questionsAnalysis of Paragraghs1-21)Why do people want to hide their gray hair and delay the effect of aging? They worship youth and are afraid of growing older, so they try every means to look young.2)What does the writer mean when she says “it is un-American to say so”?She means these questions seem contrary to the values commonly held by most American people. And the American people would do anything possible to delay aging.3)Does the writer deny the virtues of being young?No, she does not. The writer admits the virtues of being young, but what she really wants to talk about is those advantages of growing older, which are discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. So the last sentence of the second paragraph is both thematic and transitionalParagraph 3AnalysisThe writer, in this paragraph, offers the first advantage of growing older －not being obsessed with one’s appearance. It can be noticed that the technique of contrast is used to project the difference between adolescents and people in their forties:“When my brother Dave and I were teens…”“When Dave and I were young…”“Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies.”“Now my clothes are attractive yet easy to wear.”“We no longer feel anxious…”These contrasts are focused on two aspects: the shape of their bodies and clothes. With her own experience, the writer drives home her point that adolescents “feel anxious about what others will think”, while older people are happy “as long as we feel good about how we look”.The following question could be asked:1)What is the change in people’s attitude towards their appearance from the writer’s own experience?Old people no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as they feel good about what they look, they are happy.Paragraph 4AnalysisThe second advantage is discussed in this paragraph －people in their forties are less uncertain than adolescents. The last sentence pinpoints the writer’s view: what truly worries the young people is not the problem of age, but the unknowns in the future.The following question could be asked:Is it accurate to say that older people are totally free from uncertainty?No, because they still have important choices to make. However, they have already made their major ones, while the young people will meet theirs at every turn. Paragraph 5AnalysisThis paragraph presents the third and the greatest benefit of growing older: the knowledge about yourself (the self-identity). It is implied that lack of this knowledge can bring about a kind of adolescent insanity (in contrast with the sanity of forty-year-olds) expressed in parallel structures “It means…”, “Being young means…”The following questions could be asked:1)What is the meaning of “…wishing you were never born the next”?It is related with first half of the sentence and the complete one should be “feeling happy with yourself one day and wishing you were never born the next day (because you feel so miserable)”.2)How to explain the phrase “keep a running score of everything they didwrong raising me”?It means “constantly reminding yourself of all the unhappy things that your parents did to you in the process of raising you”. Here “score” means “record”Language points.Paragraph 6After sharing her own experience in contrast to adolescents’ problems with the reader, in this paragraph the writer turns to the issue similar to the one mentioned in the first paragraph: the validity of American values on the aging problem. The writer cites her parents’ example to back her view, thus echoing the theme －distinct advantages of growing older makes a better phase of life.Step IV Language points:1.convince v.1)convince sb / yourself (of sth) to make sb/yourself believe that sth is truee.g. you’ll need to convince them of your enthusiasm fo r the job.I’d convinced myself (that) I was right.2) to persuade sb to do sthe.g. I’ve been trying to convince him to see a doctor.2.…glaldly sign with the devil just to be young again: Literally, the phrase “signwith the devil” means “to sign a contract with the devil, so that the devil would help you become young again”.

He believed in simple living close to nature and in the freedom of the individual. Although he was impressed with the power and beauty of the new steam trains, he worried about the possible effects of rapid transportation on people's live. He was also afraid that modem machines would become the masters rather than the servants of people. In addition, he opposed a strong government because it might interfere with people's freedom.Thoreau tried to live in agreement with his ideas. As a protest against slavery, he actually went to prison rather than pay taxes to a government that allowed it. In his book Civil Disobedience he wrote about the principle of peacefully resisting what a person judges to be immoral acts of government. His most famous book Walden explains many of his ideas. It also tells about his daily life in a simple cabin which he himself had built near a pond in the woods. He had left the convenience and pleasures of his city home to live alone in natural surroundings. There he lived frugally, providing most of his needs from what he found around him.For many years the ideas of Thoreau were known to scholars and to thinkers but not to the general public. However, in the middle years of this century he became the inspiration of many young people dissatisfied with the machine age and with modem ways of life. These people were impressed with his opposition to powerful government, and with his courage in living according to his beliefs. They also welcomed his appreciation of nature and of simple living. Thus Thoreau has now become the guide and ideal of many young Americans a century after his death.1. Which of the following would be a best title for this passage? ______.A.

It was hard for her to make new friends but she finally had three when she joined the Babysitters Club to take care of little children whose parents were busy. Claudia, Kristy, and Mary were in her class at school and also the other members of the club. The girls met at five o'clock on Fridays and waited for the phone to ring. So far they had been busy, in spite of the fact that they couldn't stay out late and were under 13.Suddenly, the girls' world was invaded by a second group calling themselves the Babysitters Agency. They were older and the group also included a few boys. The Babysitters Club tried to think of ways to compete with the older group. They could clean and work for less money, however, they knew it would be difficult to compete. The shock was even greater than they had expected when most of their best customers started to call the new group. They seemed to get only a few jobs.To try a new policy, Kristy recruited a few older kids who told the club they didn't want to share their money with the other group. The club found out only too quickly that these older girls joined only as spies and didn't show up for their job assignments. Thus, more parents were unhappy with the club.Finally, the girls realized that the kids in the other group were not babysitters. They watched television, talked on the phone, and invited boyfriends to the house where they were sitting. When thechildren of the families started to complain, and a near accident almost occurred, the club went to the parents to tell them what was happening.1.

This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the County Council have only been able to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend lmpington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council said in the past it would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a Council official has said the cost to parents should be less than $30 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low- cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.1.

Then, from across the street, someone came walking. It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking; at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a women’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child' s house.She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then dosed the door without looking around. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show tile four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for.

Unit 2 ValuesTeaching Objective:1. Understand the main idea (despite his wealth, Sam Walton remains down-home anddevoted to his team)2. Pay attention to the indirect description in portraying a person.Preview TasksLet students surf the Net or read some books in order to find out some information about Sam Walton and Wal-mart and answer the following question.1. Who is Sam Walton? What is Wal-Mart? （See background knowledge）Let students read text A beforehand and try to find the answers to the following questions:2. What made the waiter disappointed?(Para1, 3:the contrast between the waiter’s imagination and the reality about the richest man in America)3. Find some examples to prove that Sam Walton didn't want any special treatment. (Para5-10: Drove his 1979 pickup for many years; Waited in line to buy something in local Wal-mart store; Let his employees address him the first name; Went to the church every Sunday and washed dishes sometime; Used the same barber for 19 years and fetched the money by himself when he forget taking money with him.)4. What was Sam's main concern as founder of Wal-Mart? (Para15)The real story in his mind is the success achieved by the 100, 00 people who make up the Wal-Mart team. His real concern is his store.5. What did he think are the main reasons for his success? (Para16, 19, 21)The reason for his success is his people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company.Introductory words:We all are looking forward to success and the realization of our dreams. As for some people, to become a millionaire is their lifelong goal. Therefore, they select the America, the most powerful country in the whole world nowadays as their destination, because it is said to be the fairy land to get whatever you want. But does success only mean the possession of a large amount of money or high position? In this unit, we will discuss the value of life and the true meaning of being rich.First period (90 minutes)I. As we have given assignments of the background knowledge in preview tasks, so first of all, we give students the chance to stand up to tell what they have already known about Sam Walton and Wal-Mart.II. Then the teacher can make a supplement. In this way, students can gradually learn how to learn by themselves and how to collect information with the help of the Internet and library.Background Knowledge1.Sam Walton:Born: 29 March 1918Birthplace: Kingfisher, OklahomaDied: 6 April 1992 (died of multiple myeloma)Best Known As: Founder of discount retailer Wal-MartSam Walton, with his brother Bud Walton, founded Wal-Mart, the chain of discount variety stores that in the 1990s became the world's largest retailer.Sam Walton went into the retail business in 1945. His store was a franchisee of the Butler Brothers, which consisted of two chains. Sam store was going to be a variety store and with the assistance of the Butler Brothers, his store led in sales and profits in the six-state region. Sam made this possible by properly stocking all the shelves with a wide range of goods with very low prices, keeping his store centrally located so it was easily accessible to many customers, stayed open later than most stores especially during Christmas seasons, and experimented with discount merchandising ( buying straight from the wholesaler which enable him to lower his price per item and then was able to sell a greater quantity of goods, and thereby increasing his sales volume and profits). All these were ideas were new to businesses but Sam caught on fast and was able to use them to his advantage. To keep his stores running in tip top shape Sam was always trying to find new ideas to improve business. The next new thing he found was a concept known as self-service.By the time Wal-Mart first opened in 1962 he owned a chain of 15 variety stores in Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. Walton's savvy marketing skills and attention to detail led to Wal-Mart's expansion throughout the United States.By 1990 Wal-Mart was the nation's top retailer in terms of sales, and Walton was one of the richest men in the world. After his death in 1992 the company continued to expand, including online commerce and stores around the world. By 2001 there were more than 4,500 Wal-Mart stores worldwide.Famous quotations from Sam Walton:--High expectations are the key to everything.--There is only one boss—the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.--There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of. --We let folks know we're interested in them and that they're vital to us. Cause they are.--I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.--"We're all working together; that's the secret. And we'll lower the cost of living for everyone, not just in America, but we'll give the world an opportunity to see what it's like to save and have a better lifestyle, a better life for all. We're proud of what we've accomplished; we've just begun."2. Wal-Mart:Wal-Mart Stores, founded by Sam Walton in 1962, is the largest retail chain in the U.S. Its first shop was opened near Rogers, Arkansas and had grown to more than 1,100 stores by mid-1988, with around 600,000 Americans working for it. The prices are low and value and customer service are high every day. So the customers do not have to wait for a sale to realize savings.3. Dime store:It is also called 5 & 10, five-and-dime, ten-cent store. It offers a wide assortmentof inexpensive items, formerly costing five or lower cents, hence it gets the name.4. Forbes:It is an American business magazine, noted for its lists of the top celebrities in business, such as Top 100 Celebrities, 400 Richest Americans, World Richest People, World's Most Powerful Women, etc.In the latest list, the top ten richest Americans are 1. William H. Gates, 2. Warren E. Buffett, 3.Paul G. Allen, 4. Michael Dell, 5. Lawrence Ellison, 6. Christy Walton, 7. Jim C. Walton,8. S. Robson Walton, 9. Alice L. Walton, 10. Helen R. Walton.After Sam Walton' death, his legacy was inherited by his wife and children. Therefore, we can see that the Walton families are all here.III. Group Discussion1. Do you want to be a rich man?--Yes/No.2. Supposed you were a billionaire, what kind of life would you like?--I would buy a huge house with a swimming pool and a basketball playground.--I would buy several cars for different usages, e.g. a BMW to drive to work, a sport car to travel, etc. Also I want a yacht/boat to enjoy a voyage.--I would like to run a book shop not for profits but for sharing the good ones with others.--I would travel around the whole world. No work and all play is my ideal life. ...3. How can you earn so much money?-- By running a company.-- By buying lottery or stock shares.-- By making PC programmers.-- By foreign trade....4.If you are a boss, how can you make your employees work whole-heartedly and passionately?-- Firstly, I respect them though they work for me. Secondly, I would ask them for advice because they make the products or directly communicate with the customers. Then I would praise the excellent ones and reward them in order to stimulate them to work even harder than before.5. What kind of characteristics/merits do you badly need to rise from nothing?--honesty, ambition, courage, perseverance, persistence, thoughtfulness, creativity, eagerness for success, kindness to the employees, the ability of foretelling the trend and future...IV. Structure AnalysisBeforehand we have given them the questions. Through answering these questions, we can get the general idea of the text and the main structure.Part I: Para 1-4 The waiter was disappointed to find that the richest man inAmerica led so simple a life.Part II. Para 5-13 Being friendly, easy-going and never flashy, Walton carries onlike plain folks and never wants any special treatment.Part III. Para14-22 With the Wal-Mart team in mind, Walton devotes himselfheart and soul to making the business a great success.1. Main idea: see the appendix.2. There are many contrasts in this article. Look at the title. The richest man should be very special, sometimes even strange. Usually the rich men have some unique habits or have some privileges. But Sam is down home and very ordinary. What's more, in the first part, the waiter was looking forward to seeing a huge mansion but only to be disappointed by the completely common house. With these vivid contrasts, it is more impressive that Sam behave in a folksy way.3. The author describes Sam Walton in an indirect way. He doesn't tell us what kind of life Sam live or what kind of person he is or how he manages the stores. Instead, the author employs several examples and let us finds out the facts with our own eyes. Then we would accept it with no doubt. Otherwise, it is hard to believe that such a rich man would behave in the folksy way.V. Detailed Learning of the TextPart One ---- Through the eye of a waiter, we can see Sam’s down home way of life. Step One: ask Ss to browse the part and answer to following questions.1) How did the waiter recognize Sam's house? Is it easy to tell it from others'?-- He stopped at the mailbox marked "Sam & Helen Walton", which indicated that their house was not special at all.2) What disappointed him?-- What he saw was totally unexpected.Imagined--mansion, Rolls-Royce, dogs with diamond collar, servants everywhere Reality-- worn furniture, old pickup truck, muddy bird dog, spot no servantsThe author didn't directly tell us how down home Sam was. Because no matter how hard he tried, people wouldn't believe that the richest man would live such a simple life. Smart as he was, the author told us the truth through the eyes of a waiter. We find our Sam's folksy way by ourselves.Step Two: Language points learningWheel (v.) -- driveRemote -- far away in space or time; far from the cityChain -- a number of shops under the same ownership or managementVI. Assignment: 1. preview next parts and get familiar with new works and phrases.2. Find out the examples the author gave in order to show characters of Sam Walton.Second Period (90 minutes)I. Review: without look the book, let Ss summarize in their own words what thewaiter imagined the life of the richest American would be and what is thereality.II. Detailed Learning of the TextPart Two -- With 3 examples, his character can vividly be shown here.Step One: Group DiscussionIn the preview work, the students have the assignment of prove his folksy way withthe examples. Give them 2 minutes to discuss with the classmates. Then retell it in their own words.Suggested answer:Examples 1:Although he is very rich, his Ford pickup is really out of date. He behaves in the folksy way. When the shooting season comes, he even waits in line at the local Wal-Mart, though actually he is the boss. What's more, Sam even commands his employees to address him Mr. Sam instead of Mr. President.Example 2:No matter how busy he is on Saturday night, Sam goes to the church every Sunday. He doesn't have a set place. He sits at the place wherever he finds a seat. Once after the church supper, the couple even went to wash the dishes.Example 3:Sam has used the same barber for 19 years. Every time Sam waits for him even though the barber opens at 7 a.m. He talks with the barber cheerfully and never throws his weight around. One time Sam forgot taking his wallet, he even went back home to fetch it.Step Two: Detail Analysis1. What can you infer from these examples? What kind of person do you think he is?-- He is friendly, cheerful, and free of self-importance, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight round. That is said by all the people, which means it is the truth and his real personality. After one example, the author tells us people's impression on Sam, which turns out to be a more effective way. If he tells us in the very beginning, we may doubt it. But it becomes very convincing after the description of his actual actions. Followed by other two examples, the comment is just proved again that Sam is really down home.2. Does the employees feel comfortable to address their boss by his first name?-- No. At first, they had to struggle to do so. But gradually they accept his folksy way. Few think of his money. They treat him as a colleague and friend.3. Generally speaking, the rich people hire others to clean the house off and on. If they are rich enough, they have the servants to do all the housework. This couple are rich more than enough to do so, but they don't regard themselves as special ones. They are just common people as anybody else in the church. Every one is equal.4. Nowadays, many people want to become famous. In order to achieve their goals, they try every means no matter how indecent it is. Sometimes, one even spread his own scandal if only it can make himself known to others whether it is famous or notorious. Newspaper is the effective way to spread news. Sam owns a newspaper. It really can help him to introduce himself to the Americans in the least. But he doesn't do so. He puts the Forbes list at the bottom of the second page. We know that the important news is generally in the first page to attract reader's attention. The inside news is likely to be ignored, not to speak of the ones at the bottom. Sam doesn't want people to focus on himself. He just wants to live in his own folksy way and be himself.5. Once he forgot his wallet when he went to the barber. It was acceptable to pay next time or not to pay at all as they had known each other for 19 years. But he insisted to go back home to get it. He didn't want any special treatment. With these examples, we can say that Sam is really strange. He doesn't behave like a billionaire at all and even is the same as the common people.Step Three: Language points learning1. get away with -- do sth. without being caught or punishedlocal -- of a certain area, esp. the place near we liveby all accounts -- according to what everyone saysblend in -- mix harmoniouslyreserve -- keep for a special use; bookbury -- to put in a grave; to hide or cover2. come the shooting season -- when the shooting season comesOnly in America can a billionaire carry on like plain folks and get away with it.(inverted sentence)-- A billionaire can behave like the common people and not be caught or criticized only in America.3. Inversion:To explain this grammar explicitly is really laborious. So I'd like to give them some examples to illustrate it.1. Full inversion: 1) 介词短语开头By his side sat his dog.Early in the morning falls the rain.2) adv.开头Here comes Tom. (** Here he comes.)So bright was the moon.2. Half Inversion: 1) 否定词开头No once did he talk to me.Seldom did a man do so.2) Only + 介词短语Only in America can you behave this way.Only by working hard can you succeed. Part Three -- With Wal-Mart team in his mind, Walton devotes himself heart and soul to making the business a great success.Step One: Let Ss browse this part and answer the following questions:1. What was Sam's main concern as founder of Wal-Mart? (para15)-- The real story in his mind is the success achieved by the 100, 00 people who make up the Wal-Mart team. His real concern is his store. Only by doing this way can a businessman succeed. If he wants to develop his own company and make it run smoothly, he must plunge into it. That is universally true no matter what you do. For example, you are the students. Your current task is to master the professional skills and turn to be an useful person in the future. Therefore, you should study very hard and make daily progress.2. What did he think are the main reasons for his success? (para16, 19, 21)-- The reason for his success is his people and the way they're treated and the way they feel about their company. Sam Walton pays much attention to his employees.In order to inspire them to work harder, this old man even jumps up on a chairand leads everyone to cheer the WAL. As the leader of a larger company he doesn't put on air but to blend in with his employees and try to arise their passion.Once they become passionate, the whole team can make miracles. Furthermore, Sam believes in cultivating ideas and rewarding success. He sets up a college scholarship fund for employees’ children, a disaster relief fund to rebuild employee homes, which can reduce their burden. He cares about the employees and try to help them when they are in trouble. If your boss is such a person, won't you devote yourself to your work?Step Two: Detail Analysis1. Direct Speech -- In this part, the author use several direct speeches. We can knowwho said that, which makes the comments vivid and convincing. Through these speeches, we can get a further understanding of Walton and the reason for his great success. In one example, Arend even didn't believe that a boss can be so generous.By comparing with his former boss, we can know he is a unique one.2. What can you get from working for him?-- You may be better off and become rich. But that is not your greatest gains. What's more important is that you have learn how to be a man, how to be a successful man. He tells you to devote heart and soul to your work. Once you want something, work for it. Besides, you should show your appreciation to others. Try to be generous to others and care about them from the bottom of your heart.People can feel it. Though you seem to lose something, you actually gain a lot. 3. What is the meaning of "being rich”?-- Generally speaking, when we talk about wealth, the first idea comes to us is a large amount of money. Owing a lot of money really can enable us to do many things. But only money alone can not make you a complete rich man. What's more important is your mental life. If you only have a lot of money, you indeed are very poor.Step Three: Language points learning1. celebrity -- famous peoplehold to -- keep to; insist to dosteer clear of -- keep away fromon the run -- continuously activebe liable to do -- be likely to dolay down -- establish, set downput off -- disturband the like -- and the things like thiscultivate -- improve, developgenerosity -- the quality of being willing to give money, helpstun -- surprise, shock,deserve -- be worthy of2. Paraphrase:•How long Walton can hold firm to his folksy habits with celebrity hunters keeping following him wherever he goes is anyone's guess.-- Wherever Walton goes, there are many celebrity hunters (reporters) following him.No one knows whether he is really a folksy person or not. If he pretends to be folksy, the hunters must discover it. If not, people are wondering how long he can behave in this way.•Employees with one year on board qualify for stock options.-- If one works in the Wal-Mart for one year, he has the right to buy the stockshares.III. Homework: 1.Exercise2. Retell of the story in the first person.3. Preview Text B and answer the following questions.①What did President Jimmy Carter and his wife do after leaving White House?-- They learnt something new and used back-to-basics skills toconfront and resolve their painful political defeat.②What’s the couple’s suggestion t o average people no matter whatstage of live they may be in?-- They encourage people to take on new things that might lookvery difficult, but that become very rewarding once the person isinvolved.Third Period (90 minutes)I. Revision and Exercise:1. Let students retell their own version to their desk mates.2. Dictation:Jack was on the run since the moment he came aboard. He was always cheerful and devoted himself heart and soul to his work. Because of his excellent performance he was promoted to CEO. From then on he tried hard to blend in with the workers and never threw his weight around. He also laid down a reward system to encourage the workers to work hard. He believed that loyalty and hard work would greatly contribute to the success of the company. By all accounts he was an outstandingchief executive officer.3.Check the exercise.II. Explanation of Text BText BStep One: Introductory Words:In text A, we know the life of the richest man in America, then how about the life of the most influential person and family in America, I mean the life of President and his family—the First family. Lots of Presidents rose from log cabin to White House in America, and in their term, they must have experienced a different life, then have you ever thought the life of them when they left the White House? How did they cope with the difference? In this text, we are going to know one of them—President Jimmy Carter. No matter in his presidency or after it, he tried to keep a simple and easy life, which is similar to the life of common Americans.This text is special because there are so many words in quotation marks, so we may infer that it is some excerpts from the author’s interview to President Jimmy Carte r and his wife. Now please read the text by yourself and answer the following questions: Step Two: Questions:1. Where did the interview take place?-- In the porch of Carter’s log cabin in a small south Georgia town.

(Para3)4. Why did Carter occasionally managed to slip in a few hours at the carpenter’s shed at Camp David?-- Because the President thinks that it’s a kind of t herapy, and a steady force in his life—a total rest for his mind. (Par5)5. Why did the couple try to relate their lives not to the White House, but to plains inthe book Everything to Gain?-- There are a couple of reasons: first, they want to show the attraction of a small town; second, to make it clear that the book is not just about a couple who happened to have been the First Family of the nation; it’s also written for the average person who experienced unexpected change in life.6. According to Carter, Why people today are luckier than people in the past? (Para 8) -- Because they have more free time. (Para 13)7.
