Introduction to the Text(1) The Purpose of College EducationEvery September when new students first come to a university, they have a week or so of orientation preparing them for the years to come. In the sessions a series of talks and tours are organized to help freshmen to understand the purpose, rules and regulations of the universities, and to learn how to use the facilities, to plan their studies, to handle relationships and even how to budget for their expenses at college. The essay is originally a talk Professor Ciardi gave during such a session. What he tries to drive home is what students come to a university for. He points out that a university’s purpose is not only to give its students sufficient training for a career, but also to put them in touch with the best of what the human race has achieved — both the techniques and spiritual resources of mankind. This way, they will become specialists and civilized members of society as well. What Professor Ciardi said years ago is relevant to China’s institutions of higher learning.The 21st century is often referred to as an age of information and of globalization. In this age, we need people who will be able not only to keep up with the latest advances in science and technology, but also to communicate with other people and other nations. Therefore college students are expected to develop in an all-around way to meet the needs of the new century. While at college, students should be avid readers and learners and arm themselves with the best of mankind’s tech niques and spiritual resources, and seize all opportunities to cultivate the spirit of teamwork, the ability to handle emergencies and to work under pressure.When emphasizing the two-fold purpose of colleges and universities, the writer seems to think that technical training school s don’t have to expose their students toprofound ideas. We think that all schools, as well as colleges and universities, should aim at turning out useful and civilized members of society.(2) StyleAs it is originally a talk, the writer adopts a basically colloquial and familiar style. As you read, you feel as if the professor is talking to you face to face. To recreate the scene of his encounter with the tall boy in his office, he uses the direct speech. This way, the reader can imagine the ignorance and arrogance of the student. The sentence structure is generally not very complicated. But there are a few long and involved sentences in the second part of the text, for example, the last sentence in Paragraph 12. And the last paragraph consists of two very long ones.The tone in the first part is humorous and mildly sarcastic. The pharmacy major is referred to as “a beanpole with hair on top”, “this specimen” and “this particular pest”.2. Warm-up questions(1) Do you agree the point of view that universities are only for job training? Whatelse should a student strive for in a university?(2) How would you respond if your friend declares that he/she is only interested inlearning some job skill and therefore has no use for literature, philosophy, politics, history, art, music, etc.?Task- cycle1. ThemeThe author tries to clarify the purpose of a university: to put the students in touch with the best civilization that human race has created.2. StructurePart 1 (Paras.1- 8):The writer describes his encounter with one of his students.Part 2 (Paras.9-14):The author restates what he still believes to be the purpose of a university: putting its students in touch with the best civilizations the human race has created.3. Detailed study of the text (In this part, students are asked to take part in various activities.)(1) Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher.Let me tell you something that happened when I first became a teacher. It was one of the exasperating experiences in the first days of my teaching career.The word “disaster” often means “an unexpected event, such as a very bad accident, a flood or a fire that kills a lot of people or causes a lot or damage”. Here, used informally, it means “a complete failure”. The writer exaggerates the situation and uses the word humorously.(2) …I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at theUniversity of Kansas City.…I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City.be fresh out of/from sth. : to have just come from a particular place; to have just had a particular experience, e.g.Students fresh from collegeAthletes fresh from their success at the Ninth National Games(3) News as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number ofthings.Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what he could but did not say to the student.Note that the writer now referred to the student as a specimen in a humorous way, meaning he was typical of those students who came to a university just to get training for a career, as if he were typical of a certain species of animal.new to sth. : not yet familiar with sth. because you have only just started, arrived, etc.(4) I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanicsschool, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science.I could have told him that he was now not getting training for a job in a technical school but doing a B.S. at a university.mean to do sth. : to intend to do sth.reach for sth. : to try to obtain sth.read Bachelor of Science: to have Bachelor of Science written on the certificate.(5) It would certify that he had specialized in pharmacy, but it would furthercertify that he had been exposed to some of the ideas making has generated within its history.The B.S. certificate would be official proof that the holder had special knowledge of pharmacy, but it would also be proof that he/she had been exposed to some profound ideas of the past.certify that … : to state officially, especially in writing that … , e.g.This is to certify that Ms. Li Lin worked at the IBM Beijing Office from January 1998 to June 2000.specialize in :to limit all or most of one’s study, business, etc. to a particular activity or subject, e.g.Professor Zhang specializes in American drama.My sister specializes in contract law.At age 30, he started a company specializing in home computers.generate: to produce or create sth. ,e.g.They have a large body of young people who are capable of generating new ideas. This machine can generate electricity in case of a power failure.(6) I could have told him all this, but it was fairly obvious he wasn’t going to bearound long enough for it to matter.I didn’t actually say all this to him, because I didn’t think he would stay at college very long, so it wouldn’t be important whether or not he knew what university education was for.be around: to be present in a place; to be availablematter (to sb.): to be important or have an important effect on sb. /sth. , e.g.It doesn’t matter whether or not you agree. My mind is made up.Does it matter if I write in pencil?(7) Nevertheless, I was young and I had a high sense of duty and I tried to put itthis way…Instead of telling him the importance of an all-round education, I tried to convince him from a very practical point of view.(8) You will see to it that the cyanide stays out of the aspirin, that the bull doesn’tjump the fence, or that your client doesn’t go to the electric chair as a result of your incompetence.You have to take responsibility for the work you do. If you’re a pharmacist, you should make sure that aspirin is not mixed with poisonous chemicals. As an engineer, you shouldn’t get things out of control. If you become a lawyer, you should make sure an innocent person is not sentenced to death because you lack adequate legal knowledge and skill to defend your client.be employed in doing sth. : (written) to spend your time doing sth. , e.g.The old man’s days were employed in reading, writing, and doing Chinese boxing. The old lady was busily employed in knitting sweaters for her grandchildren.see to it that: to make sure that, e.g.Can you see to it that all the invitations are delivered today?I’ll see to it that everything is ready before the guests arrive.average out to: (informal) to come to an average or ordinary level or standard, especially after being higher or lower, e.g.Meals at the university average out to about 10 yuan per day.The restaurant’s monthly profits averaged out at 30% last year.(9) Along with everything else, they will probably be what puts food on yourtable, supports your wife, and rears your children.In addition to all other things (such as satisfaction) these professions offer, they provide you with a living so that you can support a family-wife and children. (10) Will the children ever be exposed to a reasonably penetrating idea at home? Will your children ever hear you talk about something profound at home?be exposed to (usually, a new idea or feeling): to be given experience of it, or introduced to it, e.g.To learn more about the world we live in, we should be expose to different cultures.Studying abroad, he was exposed to a new way of life.(11) Will you be presiding over a family that maintains some contact with the great democratic intellect?Will you be head of a family who brings up kids in a democratic spirit?preside over: to be in charge or to control a meeting or an event, here used humorouslymaintain contact with: to keep in touch with, here used figuratively(12) Will there be a book in the house?Will you be reading serious books (not just popular fiction)?(13) Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at withoutshuddering?What kind of pictures will you put up in your house? Will you have a painting in your house that shows some taste?(14)Me, I’m out to make money.Be out do sth. /for sth. : to be trying to get or do sth. , e.g.The company is out to break in to the European market.Look out for such end-of-the-year sales. These shops are out to trick you into buying what you don’t need.(15) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badlystuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.”Note the sarcastic tone of the writer. In spite of what he had said, the student didn’t seem to be convinced. What the writer means here is something like this: If you don’t have any goal in life apart from making money to satisfy your desire for material riches, go ahead and make a lot of it.be stuck for sth : not to know what to do in a particular situation, e.g.In the middle of the speech, he was stuck for words (= he didn’t know how to go on).(16) If you have no time for Shakespeare, for a basic look at philosophy, for thecontinuity of the fine arts, for that lesson of man’s development we call history-then you have no business being in college.If you don’t want to improve your mind and broaden your horizon by studying a little literature, philosophy and the fine arts and history, you shouldn’t be studying here at college.have no business doing sth. /have no business to do sth. : to have no right to do sth. , shouldn’t have been/be doing sth. , e.g.You’ve no business telling me what to do.He has no business criticizing her about her make-up.(17) You are on your way to being that new species of mechanized savage, thepush-button Neanderthal.You will soon become an uneducated, ignorant person who can only work machines and operate mechanical equipment (one who doesn’t know anything about literature, music, the fine arts, culture in general, etc.).on the/one’s way to: on the point of experiencing or achieving, e.g.She is on the way to becoming a full professor.That bright young man is on his way to being the sales manager of the company. Nancy is well on her way to a nervous breakdown.new species of mechanized savage:new type of humans who are intellectually simple and not developed and who can only work machinesthe push-button Neanderthal:an uneducated, ignorant person who can only use/operate machines by pushing the buttons.(18) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannotbe said that they went to college; rather the college went through them-without making contact.A number of such push-button savages get college degrees. We cannot help that. But even with their degrees, we can’t say that these people have received a proper college education. It is more accurate to say that they go through college without learning anything.life forms: used sarcastically, meaning these people are living creatures, but can’t think or reasongo through (a person) (like a dose of salts):(of food, etc.) to be quickly excreted/to pass through the body as waste matter without being digested; here, used figuratively and sarcastically(19) Not one gets to be a human being unaided.No one can grow up to be a civilized person without the help of others.get to be/to do sth.: to reach the point at which you are, feel, know, etc. sth. , e.g. Once you get to know her better, you’ll realize she is a compassionate person.His absent-mindedness is getting to be a big problem.(20) There is not time enough in a single lifetime to invent for oneself everythingone needs to know in order to be a civilized human.To become a civilized person, you need to acquire the knowledge and develop the culture a civilized society needs. One lifetime is too short to create an environment for you to become civilized.a single lifetime: the time during which a person is alivea civilized human: a person who is pleasant, charming and without roughness of manner(21) You pass the great stone halls of, say, M.I.T., and there cut into the stone arethe names of the scientists.If you pass the great stone hall of a university, M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) for example, you’ll see the names of the scientists cut into the stone.(22) The chances are that few, if any, of you will leave your names to be cut intothose stones. Yet any of you who managed to stay awake through part of a high school course in physics, knows more about physics that did many of those great scholars of the past.Only very few, if any at all, of you will turn out to be great scientists and have your names cut into those stones. But if you were attentive enough in your high school physics class, any of you knows more about physics that many of those scientists whose names are cut into the stones.(the) chances are: it is likely(23) You know more because they left you what they knew, because you can startfrom what the past learned for you.You know more about physics not because you’re more talented that those scholars of the past, but because they left their knowledge to you, and because everything you first learn is what people learnt in the past. In other words, all human knowledge has been accumulated by people living in the past and has been passed on to us. You learn all this before you do any original research, or any research of your own.(24) And as this is true of the techniques of mankind, so it is true of mankind’sspiritual resources.This is the way we learn and develop the techniques of mankind. This is also how we inherit and advance mankind’s spiritual resources.Be true of (a person or a situation) : to apply to, e.g.It’s a wonderful opera. The music is superb. The same is true of the acting.The young tend to look ahead while the old like to look back upon the past. This is true in all nations(25) When you have read a book, you have added to your human experience. When you have read a book, you have enriched your life.(26) Read Homer and your mind includes a piece of Homer’s mind.When you read Homer’s works, you are sure to grasp some of his insights.(27) Through books you can acquire at least fragments of the mind and experience of Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare-the list is endless.Through reading their books, you can at least grasp a bit of the thinking and experience of such literary giants as Virgil, Dante, Shakespeare-there have been so many great thinkers and writers that it’s impossible to list them all here.(28) For a great books is necessarily a gift; it offers you a life you have not thetime to live yourself, and it takes you into a world you have not the time to travel in literal time.Because a great book is something given to us to enrich our lives. It presents to you a kind of life you don’t have a chance to experience yourself, and it describes for you places you don’t have time actually to visit.In literal time: in reality(29) A civilized mind is, in essence, one that contains many such lives and many such worlds.Basically, a cultured and educated person should know about such great variety of lives and worlds.In essence: basically, by nature, e.g.Hs is in essence an outgoing person.In essence they were asking for the impossible.(29) The faculty, by its very existence, say implicitly: “We have been aided bymany people, and by many books, in our attempt to make ourselves some sort of storehouse of human experience.”The existence of the faculty of the liberal arts college itself says in an implied way: “In our effort to make our faculty a place where our students can experience a variety of life they don’t have time to live themselves, we get a lot of help from many people and books, present and past…”(30) “We are here to make available to you, as best we can, that expertise.”“Our role/job/task is to do our best provide such knowledge for you (to become both specialists and civilized humans).”(be) here to do sth. : used to show your role in a situation, e.g.We’re all here to help you.Post-task1. Discussion(1) As a college student, what do you think of the question put forward by the author?Give your own answer to the question, and compare it with th e author’s.(2) After finishing reading the whole text, how do you evaluate the author’s answer? 2. Written work:Suppose you are the writer: write in about 130 words what you said to the tall student about the purpose of a university.Your retelling should contain three parts.1. How you came to talk about it2. What you said3. What you pointed out in conclusion。

Why?Background Information (40 minutes)Naguib Mahfouz——Education & BackgroundNaguib Mahfouz was born on the 11th Dec. 1911 in an old quarter of Cairo, the youngest son of a merchant. He studied philosophy at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration and then in 1939 he worked for the Mini-stry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organisation at the Ministry of Culture. He also worked as a journalist. Although widely translated, his works are not available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat's Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists.背景知识（40分钟）通过问答和讲解的方式，帮助学生了解1.纳吉布?马福兹所受教育和一般背景;He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo.2.Naguib Mahfouz —— important worksNaguib Mahfouz was the first Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, in 1988. He has been described as "a Dickens of the Cairo cafés" and "the Balzac of Egypt".He is now the author of no fewer than 30 novels, more than 100 short stories, and more than 200 articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world.Mahfouz began writing when he was 17. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of The Cairo Trilogy in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional urban life.Works of his second writing period:The Children of Gebelawi (1959)The Thief and the Dogs (1961)Autumn Quail (1962)Small Talk on the Nile (1966)Miramar (1967)several collections of short stories.3. Naguib Mahfouz —— how he pictures the worldThe picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz's work is very gloomy indeed, though not completely despondent. It shows that the author's social utopia is far from being realized.Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as a metaphysical force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the finalblow of death.To sum up, in Mahfouz's dark tapestry of the world there are only two bright spots. These consists of man's continuing struggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.纳吉布?马福兹的主要著作:阿拉伯世界的第一位诺贝尔文学奖获得者;纳吉布?马福兹笔下的世界: 无尽的拼搏与悲剧的人生Based on the Nobel Prize Winner's novel, the Egyptian Naguib Mahfouz. The story, translated from El Cairo to Mexico City's downtown, narrates the life of the members of the neighbourhood and the connection between them Don Ru, the owner of the local pub; Eusebia, his wife; Guicho, his son and Abel his friend, who emigrate to USA in search of fortune; Susanita, the single landtender always dreaming to marry a good man; Jimmy, the pub's employee, who extracts the money when Don Ru is notthere and finally marries Susanita; Alma, the very good looking girl, the Abel's dream, who becomes a luxury prostitute while he's away, etc. This movie won the Ariel (the Mexican Oscar) as best movie in 1995Introduction to the Text1. Writing --- the protagonist returns after being absent fora short time to findeverything changed beyond recognition.2. The best example --- Washington Irving?s (1783—1859) “Rip Van Winkle”. Ripwas a simple good-natured man. One fine day he went with his dog to themountains to hunt squirrels. He drank something a queer oldman offeredhim, he fell fast asleep. When he woke up he found himself an old man andthat great changes had occurred in his village during his absence. In thevillage in the portrait of King George III had been replaced by one of GeneralWashington. This technique is often used to emphasize rapid changes insociety.The setting of the story is not clear, but this is not import as long as what the author tries to get across is something universal.3. This technique is often used to emphasized rapid changes in society.Main Sections of the Text APart One (P1 to P7): The boy?s misgivings about school. He thought school was a punishment.Part Two (P8 to P16): The boy?s rich and colorful life in school, though disciplines and hard word are required.Part Three (P17 to P20): After school, the boy found the world has changed beyond measure; he turned to be an old man.beyond measureto a very great extent不可估量，极度it irritates him beyond measure.这让他产生了极大的愤怒。

Lesson Three Message of the LandI. Teaching ObjectivesExplain the style of interviews;Make the students re-think the changes in social values, attitudes, and life styles with the development ofindustrialization;Explain two word-formation skills:○a Noun/V+ …ful Adj○b…Un‟+ Adj AntonymIntroduce some cultural differences in translation to arouse the students‟ awareness of these phenomena;II. Teaching Process2.1I ntroduction to the TextThis text is different from the previous two, which are both stories. Our present text is an essay in a very broad sense of the word, for it was written down by the writer who interviewed a farmer and his wife. Since the end of World War II it has become popular for writers to interview people, record what they say and, after some, not too much, editing, publish these people‟s stories in book form.The style of such “writing” is colloquial. The language is straightforward. The sentences are generally short. When we read the text, we feel as if we were sitting face to face with the couple, listening to their stories and experiences, sharing joys and sorrows.Do you know what these nicknames refer to?Land of the Rising Sun Land of the Rose Land of the Shamrock Land of Cakes Land of Golden Fleece Land of Thistle Land of the stars and stripesShamrock [′ʃæmr ɔk] 三叶草(爱尔兰的国花)Fleece 羊毛Thistle [′θɪs əl] 苏格兰的国徽stripe[stra ɪp] 条纹AuthorPira Sudham is considered Thailand's leading English language writer, who was nominated 提名 for the 1990 Nobel Prize for Literature. His literary works are concerned with social-economic-political changes occurring in Thailand. Widely read and highly acclaimed, his books have given an expedient voice to the poor and the voiceless.Bangkok, population 8,538,610 (1990), is the capital and largest city of Thailand. The city is located on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River, near the Gulf of Thailand. Bangkok is one of the fastest-growing, most economically dynamic and socially progressive cities in Southeast Asia. It is also one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. Bangkok is the economic center of Thailand.The city contains many Buddhist 佛教temples. Buddhism Scotland Japan U.S.A Ireland England Australiais Thailand's main religion. 94% of Thai people are Buddhist. The other are Muslim, Catholic罗马天主教的or Chinese. Monks are more suited to reach enlightenment because they follow a strict way of life far from material attachment. Their life is based on 227 monastic rules and 5 major precepts, i.e. no sex, no lies, no robbery, no alcohol, no killing.In a temple, some men have been monks for decades but there are also some men who became monk only a short time ago. They do it in order to bring merit to their parents ("THAM BUN"). A boy is not a man if he hasn't been a monk once in his life. Even the King of Thailand Rama 9had been a monk for one month. In old days this period was three months. Now it can be only a few weeks or a few days. Some families still refuse to marry their daughter if the future husband hasn't ever been a monk. It means that he isn't ripe enough.In a bus, seats in the back are reserved to monks. If a woman is sitting there, she should leave because a woman cannot touch a monk.2.2 Main Parts of Text APart One (P1 to P7): This part is the wife‟s attitudes, and can be further divided into two small sections. Section One, from Paragraph 1 to Paragraph 3, mainly tells us about her family members and how their children left. Section Two, from Paragraph 4 to Paragraph 7, deals with the changes that the wife cannot adjust to.Part Two (P8 to P11): This part is the husband‟s views. The man‟s speech is shorter but touches something deeper --- what he thinks are the roots of all evils. He also tells us what joys he finds in life and in farming.2.3 Detailed Discussion of the Textto belong to sb: to be owned by sb.eg: Who does the Mobil phone belong to?It was I who stayed with my parents till they died.(1)Learn how to use the emphatic form “it is/was…that/who…”Eg. It was my sister who went to teach in a village school upon graduation.My husband moved into our house as is the way with usin Esarn. (1)(When we got married) my husband came to live in our house. It was the tradition here in Esarn that the bridegroom新郎should come to live with the bride‟s family.Q: how is the custom in Esarn different from Chinese tradition?In traditional Chinese families, usually it is the daughter who will leave her parents after getting married and move into the husband‟s family. Therefore, traditionally, daughters have no rights to inherit the property of their parents‟ family. In Esarn, it seems to be the opposite.“as” in a relative clauseAs is known to all, China first created the use of compass.( as – subject of the clause)In a bus, seats in the back are reserved to monks. If a woman is sitting there, she should leave because a woman cannot touch a monk.infancyn. a. early childhood婴儿期b. early stage of development or growth初期，摇篮期In the past, many children died in infancy.基因的；遗传的;Genetic engineering is still in its infancy.a. infantile[′ɪnf(ə)ntʌɪl] 婴儿的，幼儿的n. infant幼儿；婴儿In the past, many children died in infancy.The rest, two boys and two girls, went away (1)Our other children –two boys and two girls left as soon as we had the money to buy them jeans.“to buy jeans for them”在这里具有一种象征意义，象征着孩子们刚一长大，条件刚一允许，他们就立即离开了家。

Camp David Accords:
popular name for the historic peace accords in 1978 between Israel and Egypt.
The official agreement was signed on Mar. 26, 1979, in Washington, D.C. by Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat, with U.S. President Jimmy Carter signing as a witness（证人）. Under the pact, which was denounced （公开指责）by other Arab states, Israel agreed to return the Sinai to Egypt, a transfer（转移；转让） that was completed in 1982. In a joint letter the two nations also agreed to negotiate（谈判） Palestinian autonomy（自主） measures in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, but in fact no progress was made on this issue before Sadat„s assassination (暗杀） in Oct., 1981.

A Short Introduction to Reading Strategies--- How to deal with Text A in the course bookⅠOn Texts1. Methods for gaining new information by reading:(a) Skimming (浏览)(b) Scanning (略读)(c) Close Reading (细读)(d) Summarizing (归纳)(e) Word-attack skills (猜词义)2. Reading DifferencesAchiever: someone who is successful, especially through skill and hard work. （尤指凭自己本领和努力）成功者。
High achiever：someone whose work is usually excellent or who usually succeeds, especially in school.事业成功的人(尤指学习成绩好的人)(a) Low achievers: Usually they are in extremes. Their emphasis is whether oncontent or on linguistic forms. They seldom combine themtogether.(b) High achievers: Their emphases vary in different tasks.(i) In the first two times, they do not use dictionaries, and justguess the meanings of new words; they only try to get the mainidea of the whole passage.(ii) Later (for the third or fourth times), they pay more attentionto linguistic forms and the passage‟s deep meanings as well asthe author‟s intentions.3. Proper steps for reading a passage like Text A(a) Fist Time: Just scan the whole passage quickly so as to get the main idea.(b) Second Time: Read closely in order to find reading difficulties; at the sametime, mark new words and unfamiliar phrases (sentence structures),then guess the meanings.(c) Third Time: Read the whole passage word by word and sentence by sentenceso as to master the new linguistic forms and the content.Simultaneously use dictionaries to check your guessing in Step (b);Do the exercises if necessary.(d) Fourth Time: Closely read the whole passage again to figure out the author‟sintentions, attitudes, implied meanings, and ect.4.

He studied philosophy at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration and then in 1939 he worked for the Mini-stry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organisation at the Ministry of Culture. He also worked as a journalist. Although widely translated, his works are not available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat's Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived an assassination attempt by Islamic extremists.背景知识（40分钟）通过问答和讲解的方式，帮助学生了解1.纳吉布•马福兹所受教育和一般背景;He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo.2.Naguib Mahfouz —— important worksNaguib Mahfouz was the first Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, in 1988. He has been described as "a Dickens of the Cairo cafés" and "the Balzac of Egypt".He is now the author of no fewer than 30 novels, more than 100 short stories, and more than 200 articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world.Mahfouz began writing when he was 17. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of The Cairo Trilogy in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional urban life.Works of his second writing period:The Children of Gebelawi (1959)The Thief and the Dogs (1961)Autumn Quail (1962)Small Talk on the Nile (1966)Miramar (1967)several collections of short stories.3. Naguib Mahfouz —— how he pictures the worldThe picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz's work is very gloomy indeed, though not completely despondent. It shows that the author's social utopia is far from being realized.Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as a metaphysical force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a very painful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.To sum up, in Mahfouz's dark tapestry of the world there are only two bright spots. These consists of man's continuing struggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.纳吉布•马福兹的主要著作:阿拉伯世界的第一位诺贝尔文学奖获得者;纳吉布•马福兹笔下的世界: 无尽的拼搏与悲剧的人生Based on the Nobel Prize Winner's novel, the Egyptian Naguib Mahfouz.
