Unit 5 EccentricityTeaching Objectives:In this unit, students will listen to a talk about what eccentricity is, and positive and negative views towards it. Students will hear the biographies of four famous eccentric people in Real Word Listening 1. In Read World Listening 2, students will hear two sides of the same set of events between two flat mates who can’t get along. Then students will have an opportunity to role-paly a mediator between those two flat mates in Real World Speaking.Teaching Difficulties:1.Students may encounter some difficult words while listening, and they arerequired to figure out the contextual meanings of these words. It takes time and the instructor has to take pains to gradually acquaint students the skill of how to understand unfamiliar words while listening.2.Students may come across difficulties of taking down notes while listening. Theinstructor has to pause while listening to tell the students how to jot down brief notes in process of listening comprehension.Teaching Procedures:1.Warming-up exerciseStudents will start by examining their own attitudes toward eccentricity. Then they will hear a talk which explores the meaning of the word and how so called eccentric people are viewed in society.2.V ocabulary—Read and Chooseodd: a. strange; unusual; peculiaruseless: a. not of any userefuse:v. to say or show that one is unwilling to give, accept , grant or do somethingappreciate: v. to understand and enjoy the good qualities or value of something emphasize: v. to place special meaning, value or importance on somethingconformity: n. behavior, etc. of keeping to or complying with generally accepted rules, customs, etc.productive: a. that produces well or muchbehavior: way of acting or functioninginventive: a. having or showing the ability to invent things and think originally contradictory:a. containing information which is contrary to other information or gives opposite informationparanoia n. abnormal tendency to suspect and mistrust other people without reasondepression n. a feeling of sadness and hopelessness3. Listening TaskPre-listening ActivityLearning Strategies——Thinking IndependentlyWhilst being eccentric cannot be regarded as a learning strategy, independent thinking most certainly can. Thinking independently means being able to look at problems from new angles and going beyond received opinions. It is the basis of all scientific developments. However, it should be balanced by accepting guidance and the wisdom of experience. Finding the right balance can catapult a good student towards becoming a brilliant student.Listening Activities1.Listen to the recording and find out which famous person used to walk awayfrom his guests during conversations.2.Listen to Part 1 and complete the summary by choosing the right words orphrases.3.Listen to Part 2 and complete the following table about reactions toeccentricity.4.Listen to Part 3 and check the best summary of the speaker’s own conclusion.4. Real World Listening 11) Describe. What do you know about these four people? Why are they famous?Discuss these questions in pairs.2) Get the main idea. Listen to each part separately and decide whether the sentencestrue (T) or false(F).5. Real World Listening 21) Predict. Listen to Part 1 and discuss in pairs to guess what kind of person Mathewis. Listen again and complete the summary.2) Now listen to Part 2 and complete the summary according to Mathew’s version ofevents. Have you views on Mathew changed? Discuss in pairs.Tapescript for Listening Task[Part 1]Most of us want other people to think we are normal. So we dress in the same way as others and live in the same kinds of houses as our neighbors. We want to be liked and to have friends. We are polite when friends talk to us and get along well with the people at our job or in our school. We know that sometimes it is okay to act a little bit crazy; but mostly we want to fit in with the crowd, happy to be conventional.However, not everyone fits in with the crowd. Some people stand out from the crowd, they are unconventional, they may even be eccentric. In mathematics, the word eccentricity means the measurement of how much a round object is different from the shape of a perfect circle. Eccentricity for people is the same idea. Eccentricity is when a person acts very differently to what everyone else says is normal. Eccentric people seem to do strange and odd things. If you think ofconventional people as smooth circles, perhaps eccentrics are egg shaped, or cones.In fact, you could say eccentrics are any number of different shapes because there are so many ways that eccentricity may be expressed. An eccentric may be someone who likes a hobby so much that she never spends any time doing anything else. Or, an eccentric might love to invent things, but all his inventions are useless. Some eccentrics wear the same kinds of clothes every day. Others live in oddly shaped house, or have more than two dozen cats, or refuse to throw anything away.[Part 2]Reactions to others’eccentric can vary too. Some people appreciate how an eccentric will often have a strong opinion about something and not be afraid to share it. Some admire how an eccentric might refuse to do something just because everyone else is doing it. They may enjoy the amusing antics of an eccentric friend. But others are disturbed by how eccentrics act. These people emphasize the importance of conformity and promote the idea of peer pressure as a positive force. Whether a person’s eccentricity is approved of or not often seems to depend on the person’s standing in their community. There is a famous saying from an unknown author about this. It is: “Crazy people who are productive are geniuses. Crazy people who are rich are eccentric. But crazy people who are neither productive nor rich are just crazy.”[Part 3]So what are you? A perfect circle? Or do you sometimes feel more like a cone? If a cone, you are not alone because none of us are perfect, no matter how much we want to be. We all have a little bit of eccentricity inside of us. And, that’s good. Experts believe that eccentric behavior makes us more creative, and for certain, history agrees. Some of the smartest, most inventive people in the world have been called eccentric. For example, did you know that Sir Isaac Newton was a famous eccentric? When people came to visit him, he used to wander off to work on his inventions while he was in the middle of talking to them. People thought this was strange, but nobody was laughing when he discovered the Law of Gravity. Of course, most eccentrics are not Sir Isaac Newton, but they still make life very interesting.。

Unit 5Ways toSuccessIn this unit, you will★first listen, and then interview some successful people★read about famous people and their success stories★write about the advantages of getting a good education★practice the use of relative and appositive clauses★write greeting cards for achievements★visit Culture Salon to read quotes from famous peoplePassage AMy Advice to Students: Education CountsHundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education. They want to know what to study, or whether it’s okay to drop out of college since that’s what I did.A smaller number of parents send messages, seeking guidance for their son or daughter. ―How can we steer our child toward success?‖ they as k.My basic advice is simple and heartfelt : Get the besteducation you can. Take advantage of high school and college.Learn how to learn.It’s true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft, butI was at Harvard 1 for three years before dropping out — and I’dlove to have the time to go back. As I’ve said before, no bodyshould drop out of college unless they believe they face theopportunity of a lifetime. And even then theyshould reconsider .Kathy Cridland, a sixth-grade teacher in Ohio 1, wrote tosay, ―Several of my students claim that you never finished highschool. Since you are a success, my students perceive that as areason not to care much about getting a good education.‖I finished high school!The computer industry has lots of people who didn’t finish college, but I’m not aware of any success stories that began with somebody dropping out of high school. I actually don’t know any high school dropouts , let alone any successful ones.In my company’s early years we had a bright part -time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time. We told him no.Quite a few of our people didn’t finish colleg e, but we discourage dropping out. Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job.College isn’t the only place where information exists. You can learn in a library. But somebody handing you a book doesn’t automatically foster learning. You want to learn with other people, ask questions, try out ideas and have a way to test your ability . It usually takes more than just a book.Education should be broad, although it’s fine to have deep interests, too.In high school there were periods when I was highly focused on writing software, but for most of my high school years I had wide-ranging academic interests. My parents encouraged this, and I’m grateful that they did.Although I attended a lot of different kinds of classes in college, I signed up for only one computer class the whole time. I read about all kinds of things.One parent wrote me that her 15-year-old son ―lost himself in the hole of the computer.‖ He got an A in website design, but other grades were sinking, she said.This boy is making a mistake. High school and college offer you the best chance to learn broadly — math, history, various sciences— and to do projects with other kids that teach you first-hand about group dynamics. It’s fine to take a deep interest in computers, dance, language or any other discipline, but not if it jeopardizes breadth.If you fall into an obsessive pattern in high school, you’ve got two problems. One is that you’re unlikely to change when you go to college. The other is that if you don’tget reasonably good grades, it’s hard to go to a college that has the highly motivated, capable students who can really help you learn about the world.In college it’s appropriate to think about specialization. Getting real expertise in an area of interest can lead to success — unless the specialty ends up being a dead end or you’re not good at it. Graduate school is one way to get specialized knowledge,although extended college education isn’t alway s a good investment froma purely economic standpoint.(667 words)Notes:1. Harvard: Harvard University. It is a private, coeducational institution of higher education, the oldest in the United States, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.2.Ohio: one of the East North Central states of the United States. It is located on several main routes between the eastern and western United States. Columbus is its capital and largest city.Think About It:1. What do you know about Bill Gates?Answer:Bill Gates is the founder and the chairman of Microsoft Corporation. He is a world famous figure and a successful example for many young people to follow.2. What role do you think school education plays in a person’s life?Answer:School education plays an important role in my life.In my opinion, school education is a stepping stone towards success. Also, it provides an opportunity to learn of the world.3 .Do you want to pursue graduate study after you get your BA or BS? Explain.Answer:Those who go on pursuing a higher degree would be entitled to more opportunities later in life. But others may say working experience is more important. Personally, I haven’t yet made up my mind, as it is a little too early for me to make the decision.SummaryIt is well known that Bill Gates dropped out of college. Some people even think he never finished high school. In fact he finished three years at Harvard, where he studied a variety of subjects and only took one computer class. His main advice to students is to do much as he did, but to finish college before dropping out unless the opportunity of a lifetime appears. He feels students should not specialize too soon. If they do specialize they should also pursue othersubjects and make acceptable grades. Above all else he believes students should learn how to learn, so they can learn on their own outside the classroom. This in fact is how Gates learned most of what he knows about computers, though he apparently feels that most students needa somewhat more structured approach to education than he had.Culture Notescation in the U. S.Programs of instruction is offered to children, youths, and adults in the United States, through schools and colleges operated by state and local governments, as well as by private and religious groups. The development of formal education in the United States differed from that in other Western societies in three fundamental respects: First, Americans possessed a profound faith in education as a principal means to achieve increasingly complex individual and social goals. Second, Americans werepath-breakers in providing more years of schooling for a larger percentage of children and adolescents than any previous society. Third, Americans’ remarkable faith in mass schooling was implemented through a largely decentralized organization. Unlike the educational systems of other countries, which are usually directed and financed by the national government, American education in practice has been mainly, although not exclusively, the responsibility of the state and local governments.2. grade schools in the U.S.U.S. students generally go through elementary schools (kindergarten to 5th or 6th grade), middle schools (grades 6 – 8) or junior high schools (grades 7 – 9), and high schools (grades 9 – 12 or 10 – 12).3. Bill GatesBill Gates (1955 –? ), American business executive, Chairman of the Microsoft Corporation. He wasborn in Seattle, Washington. Gates co-founded Microsoft in 1975 with Paul Allen, his high school friend and partner in computer-language development since 1967.Fascinated by computers from the age of 12, Gates was involved with various programming projects throughout high school. While attending Harvard in 1975, Gates teamed with Allen to develop a version of the BASIC computer-programming language for the Altair, the first personal computer. As a result of this work on BASIC, Gates decided to drop out of Harvard in 1977 to work at Microsoft full-time, pursuing his vision of ―a computer on every desk and in every home,‖ the idea behind the company. In the early 1980s, Gates led Microsoft’s evolution from a developer of programming languages to a diversified software company producing operating systems and applications software as well as programming tools. This transition began in 1981 with Microsoft’s introduction of MS-DOS, the operating system for International Business Machines Corporation’s new Personal Computer (IBM PC). Gates persuaded other computer manufacturers to standardize on MS-DOS, fueling software compatibility and computer industry growth in the 1980s.Gates also pushed Microsoft to introduce application software, such as Microsoft Wordword-processing software for the IBM PC. In a key strategic move, Gates agreed to develop application software for the Apple Macintosh prior to the release of the first Mac in 1984. This was the beginning of a strong position for Microsoft in applications that take advantage of the graphical user interface (GUI).Much of Gates’ success rests on his ability to translate technical visions into market strategy, and to blend creativity with technical acumen. He is one of the few founding CEOs from the technical side of the PC industry who has also survived and thrived on the business side. Gates has accumulated great wealth from his holdings of Microsoft stock and is known for his personal and corporate contributions to charity and educational organizations. Gates continues to be personally involved in product development at Microsoft. His willingness to back new technologies such as Microsoft Windows, Windows NT, and workgroup applications has kept Microsoft at the forefront of computer hardware and software evolution.

In group activities we can observe how different people interact.7．It’s fine to take a deep interest in computers, dance, language or any other discipline, but not if it jeopardizes breadth.It’s OK to be very strongly interested in any subject or activity such as computers,dance,or language,but not if it makes your interests too narrow.8．If you fall into an obsessive pattern in high school, you’ve got two problems.If you fall into a bad habit of having strong but narrow interests in high school, you have two problems (not just one).9．... unless the specialty ends up a dead end.... unless there is no future for such a specialty.10．Graduate school is one way to get specialized knowledge, although extended college education isn’t always a good investment from a purely economic standpoint.Graduate school is one way to study a particular academic area, but it may not be the wisest way to invest your time and your tuition money.给学子的忠告：教育很重要每年都有数以百计的学生给我发电子邮件，要我就接受教育给他们提建议。

Global ReadingQuestions about the text1. What does the text title “True Height” mean?It has more than one meaning. It may refer to:1) the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another;2) the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.2. As the text consists of the main story and a flashback, can you figure out the flashback?The flashback is from Para. 3~5* Part Division of the Text* Scanning practice:Scan the whole text to find out all the words and phrases that are related to sports or stadium. And think about their Chinese equivalents. (For more details, see ppt.)III. Detailed ReadingFurther UnderstandingFor Part 1Description : Use your own words to draw a picture of the stadium on that day, including the weather, Michael’s appearance and inner feeling, the audience’s response, etc.For Part 2Questions and Answers1.From the description of Michael’ parents, what can you learn about his parents(Michael’s mother is romantic and passionate, while his father is a hard-core realist.) 2．What personality traits are attribute d to Michael’s success?(He is diligent, perseverant, optimistic, ambitious, etc.)For Part 3Compare Michael’s reaction before and after he cleared the bar at different height of the pole ( See PPT : Global Reading Chart Completion )For Part 4Discussion1.Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’s blindness until the last sentence?2.Who would you admire better, a Michael Stone with a sound body or a blind Michael Stone?*Key words:. sweat, fantasy, numerous, passion, coincide, alternate, vain, startle, in one’s mind’s eye* Writing SkillsAs the text consists of the main story and a flashback, the narration has to switch from the ongoing competition to earlier events and then return to the ongoing competition. How does the author manage to make these parts in the text flow smoothly?1.One way is to repeat a key word in the last sentence of a paragraph in the first sentence of thenext paragraph, .It also has the element of flying, and the thought of flying as high as a two-story building is a mere fantasy to anyone watching such an event.As long as Michael could remember he had always dreamed of flying.2.Another way is to pick up a key idea from a previous paragraph and repeat it in the sentenceintroducing the next paragraph, .All of M ichael’s vaults today seemed to be the reward for his hard work.IV. After Reading* DictationDictate the following proverbs to students and translate them into Chinese1. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 有志者事竟成。

新编大学英语BookIIUnit5教案新部编本教师学科教案[ 20 – 20 学年度第__学期]任教学科：_____________ 任教年级：_____________ 任教老师：_____________xx市实验学校BOOK ⅡUnit Five DreamsTeaching Aims:In this unit students are required to :1) get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit and to know more about English culture;2) do some preparation activities such as discussion, group work, etc. to practice their spoken skill and communicative skills;3) grasp some new words and try to use these words which help them to enrich their vocabulary;4)read the in-class reading passage in a limited time and grasp some expressions and grammatical points in the in-class reading passage to improve their reading comprehension;5) do some post-reading exercises and some after-class reading to practice what they have got to know in class to improve their English comprehensive skills.;6) translate some typical sentences into Chinese or English by using some expressions learned in the reading passages t o acquire some translating skills and better their translating abilities.Useful Information“Dreams surely are difficult, confusing, and not everything in them is brought to pass for mankind. For fleeting (飞逝的，短暂的) dreams have two gates; one is fashioned of horn (牛角) and one of ivory (象牙). Those which pass through the one of sawn (saw: 锯；用锯子切割)ivory are deceptive (欺骗性的), bringing tidings (消息，音讯) which come to nought (无，零), but those which issue from the one of polished horn bring true results when a mortal (凡人，人类) sees them.”——Ho mer, a Greek writerWhile our own understanding of dreams is certainly more complex than that of Homer, there are still many things about dreams which we do not understand. We know when dreams occur,or “bad dreams”, butwe know they can be either “good dreams”there is still much disagreement about what, if any, significancedreams have to our life while we are awake.The interpretation of dreams has been a favorite activity of people for as long as we have had recorded history. Some of thesedream interpreters have become famous, and some, like the European psychologist Sigmund Freud, felt that all dreams have meanings which relate to our personal relationships with family members and friends. Freud felt that many dreams have sexual meanings, but other dream experts reject this idea.Part One Preparation1. A Dream PollRead the following statements below. Put a tick in the space provided if you agree, and a zero if you don’t.Dreams can___ 1) predict the future;___ 2) warn you of health dangers;___ 3) seem more real than reality;___ 4) provide an answer to a problem;___ 5) present a work of art to a creative mind;___6) stimulate powerful physical response in the body;___7) point out personality flaws (缺陷);___ 8) make you feel good;___ 9) make you feel very tired;___10) make you live longer.Sample1) I don’t think dreams can predict the future. I never take dreams seriously. T o me, dreams are just nonsense. Some people claim thatwhat they dreamed came true. If this is the case, it is only by accident.2) Dreams can make me feel good. After a good night’s sleep and some sweet dreams, I feel happy and full of energy when I wake upin the morning. But of co urse, I don’t like terrible dreams whichmake me very tired.2. Talking About Your DreamsDirections:Work in pairs and discuss your dreams. Base your discussion about dreams on the following questions.1) Do you have recurring dreams, that is, dreams that you oftenhave?2) Have you ever wondered about the meanings of your dreams? Doyou have any explanation for your dreams?3) Why do you think people dream?SampleA: How often do you dream?B: I dream almost every night.A: What sort of dreams do you have? Are they connected to yourdaily life?B: Yes, I always dream about things that are connected to dailylife. For example, after I play computer games for a long time, Idream of playing computer games. Sometimes, I can’t find a book, but then I dream that I have found it.A: Do you have recurring dreams?B: Yes. I often dream of having to take an exam I haven’tprepared for.A: Have you ever wondered about the meanings of your dreams?Do you have any satisfactory explanations for your dreams?B: I am curious about the meanings of my dreams, but I don’thave any explanations for them. Someone told me that if I dreamof coffins or water, I will be rich. I did dream of water, but I amstill very poor. I ask my parents for money every month.A: Why do you think people dream?B: It is hard to say. However, as a Chinese saying goes, we thinkof something too often and we dream of it during the night.Ithink when the body is at rest, the minor part of the braincontinues to work. That may be the reason why we dream.Part Three In-Class ReadingAre You a Dreamer?General Reading1. Background InformationA.Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)An Austrian doctor who developed a new system for understanding the way that people’s minds work, and a new way of treating mental illness called psychoanalysis (心理分析). He believed that the bad experiences that people behave as children canaffect their mental health as adults, and that by talking to mentally illpeople about their past life and feelings, the hidden causes of theirillness can be found. He wrote The Interpretation of Dreams and TheEgo and the Id. His ideas, especially about the importance of sex,had a very great influence on the way that people thought in the 20th century.B. Carl Jung (1875-1961)A Swiss psychiatrist (精神病医师，精神病学家) who studiedthe importance of dreams and religion in problems of the mind,and divided people into two groups, introverts (格性内向的人) and extroverts (性格外向的人). Jung developed the idea of the collective unconscious (集体无意识：在荣格心理学里指一个社会、一个民族或整个人类共有的头脑中部分无意识状态，是精神遗传的产物，包含诸如科学观、宗教观、伦理观等), the belief that people’s feelings and reactions are often based on deep memories ofhuman experience in the past. He worked with Sigmund Freud untilthey had a serious disagreement.2.

After discussion, T may give Ss some suggestions on Overcoming Obstacles1)Get started.Often, once you begin, you'll find the task is easier than you expect.2)Break your task into smaller tasks.Take one big task and break it into smaller tasks. For instance, do part of your assignment each time rather than the entire one.3) Work with the time you have.Don't wait until you have time to do the entire thing. Instead, even if you only have fiveminutes, get started.4) Set small deadlines.After meeting each deadline, give yourself a reward. For example, play video games when you finish an hour of studying.5)Set anti-deadlines.If you don't finish your homework by 8:00, you can't watch your favorite TV program.6)Eliminate distractions.Turn off the TV. Don't answer the phone.7) Ask for help.Sometimes, the reason you don't start is because you don't know what to do. If that's the case, ask for help.8) Begin now.What one thing can you do right now that will move you closer to your goal.* Background InformationOlympicsOrganized and governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Olympic Games are the most important international sports event in the world held every four years.1.

(Base your observations on your experience in China. ) How is it reflected in our transportation and communication? How is it shown in our eating habits? Does it affect our consumption habits as well as our production? How about entertainment or amusement? Are our reading, writing, learning habits also changed? What has this "fast-fix" attitude done to our human relationships? Has it caused health problems? Has it reduced our capacity for enjoying life?2) If you disagree with the author and think that the desire for speed is basically good, how would you defend your position?Text Analysis1. Theme:Let’s slow down and enjoy what nature offers us and what mankind has left us and rediscover life.2.Structure:Part 1 (Paras. 1—3 ): Her ride on fast roads and her return trip of a country roadPart 2 (Paras. 4-6 ): Now instead of later Faster instead ofslower Superficially instead of thoroughlyPart 3 (Paras. 7--8 ): Slow down and rediscover life3. Further DiscussionWhy did the writer take the turnpikes and inters tates? Did they have any fun on the way? ?Why did the writer take another way back? How did she feel this time?What is the attitude of modern people to do everything? How does it affect our life??Why did the author write this article? Was she suggesting we stop using all time-saving techniques and products?4 Sentence Paraphrase1. For four hours, our only real amusement consisted of counting exit signs and wondering what it would feel like to hold still again. (Para. 1)---The 4-hour drive on fast roads was tedious; the only fun we had was to count the exit signs we were passing and to figure out how we’d feel if we stopped again.2. Getting there certainly didn’t seem like half the fun; in fact, getting there wasn’t any fun at all. (Para. 1)---We had expected that our ride to West Virginia would be fun, and that half of the fun we’d get from the trip would come from it. But we were wrong. It wasn’t fun at all.3. We toured a Civil War battlefield and stood on the little hill that fifteen thousand Confederate soldiers had tried to take on another hot July afternoon, one hundred and twenty-five years ago, not knowing that half of them would get killed in the vain attempt. (Para. 2)---We visited a Civil War battlefield and stood on the little hill. One hundred and twenty-five years ago, on a hot July afternoon, 15,000 soldiers fighting for slavery, while trying tooccupy the hill, had no idea that they would fail and that half of them would bekilled in the battle.4. We stuffed ourselves with spicy salad s and homemade bread in an “all-you-can-eat” farmhou se restaurant, then wandered outside to enjoy the sunshine and the herds of cows—no little dots this time—lying in it. (Para. 2)---We had a meal in a farmhouse restaurant where for a certain amount of money you could eat as much as you wanted, and we fed ourselves with lots of spicy salads and homemade bread. After the meal, we walked leisurely outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and watch the herds of cows—this time they did not seem like little dots—lying in the sunshine.5. And we returned home refreshed, revitalized, and reeducated. (Para. 2)---When we got home, we not only felt fresh and energetic, but also felt that we had experienced a new way of life.6. In fact, most Americans are constantly in a hurry—and not just to get from Point A to Point B. Our country has become a nation in search of the quick fix—in more ways than one. (Para.3)---In fact, most Americans are always in a rush. People are not only trying to find the fast way to get around from place to place, but also looking for ways of getting things done quickly in various aspects of life.7. Once upon a time, Americans understood the principle of deferred gratification. We puta little of each paycheck away “for a rainy day”. (Para. 4)---In the past, Americans were patient to have their desires satisfied. We saved a little money each time we got paid in casewe might need it in the future.8. If we wanted a new sofa or a week at a lakeside cabin, we saved up for it, and the banks helped us out by providing special Christmas Club and Vacation Club accounts. (Para. 4) ---If we wanted to buy some new furniture or spend a week at a lakeside, we could open special accounts at the banks to save money for it.9. and if we are in a hurry to lose weight, we try the latest miracle diet, guaranteed to tak e away ten pounds in ten days… unless we’re rich enough to afford liposuction. (Para. 4) ---If we want to lose weight quickly, we try the most recent miracle diet which is said to be effective and is sure to make us lose a pound per day. If we are rich enough to pay for the operation, we can have our unneeded fat removed from our bodies.10. We like our information fast, too: messages flashed on a computer screen, documents faxed from your telephone to mine, current events in 90-second bursts on Eyewitness News, history reduced to “Bicentennial Minutes”. (Para. 5)---For information, we also want to get it fast by skimming through what is offered on the web. Documents are faxed to one person from another. We are informed of what is happening at home and abroad through TV programs through which we get very brief accounts of current events. We learn the history of the past 200 years quickly from “Bicentennial Minutes”.11. Even our personal relationships have become compressed. Instead of devoting large parts of our days to our loved ones, we replace them with something called “quality time”, which, more often than not, is no time at all. (Para. 6) ---Even our personal relationships are affected. Instead ofspending much of our time with our loved ones, we now talk about giving them full attention in the limited time after work. But usually we have no time to do that at all.12. As we rush from book to music to news item to relationship, we do not realize that we are living our lives by the iceberg principle—paying attention only to the top and ignoring the 8/9 that lies just below the surface. (Para. 6)---When we rush through books, music, news and relationship, we are paying attention to the surface and will never get into the heart of anything.13. When did it all begin, this urge to do it now, to get it over with, to skim the surface of life? (Para. 7)---When did this quick-fix lifestyle/attitude toward life begin?14. But I am saying that all of us need to think more seriously about putting the brakes on our “we-want-it-all-and-we-want-it-nor” lifestyle before we speed completely out of control. (Para.8)---But what I do want to say is this: before we go too far, all of us need to think seriously about changing our lifestyle of seeking a quick fix in our lives.III Language StudyWords:1. advocatev. to publicly support an idea or a plann. someone who strongly and publicly supports someone or somethingExamples:He advocates building more schools.The re is no point advocating high salaries for teachers unless we can do it.He is a tireless advocate of political reform.2. antiqueadj. being old and therefore valuablen. an old object such as a piece of furniture or jewellery that is valuable because it is rare, beautiful, or well madeExamples:It is an antique rosewood desk.The palace is full of priceless antiques.3. compressv. a. to press or squeeze something so that it fits into a smaller spaceb. to write something in fewer wordsc. to make a process last for a shorter time than usualExamples:The machine compresses old cars into blocks of scrap metal.Try to compress your notes so that they are easier to learn.You’d better compress two months’ work into one.4. condensev. a. to cause (a gas or vapor) to change to a liquidb. to remove water from (milk, for example)c. to make a piece of writing shorter by removing some partsExamples:Steam condensed on the bathroom mirror.condensed milk(炼乳)condensed story(缩写本)5. deferv. to delay something until a later datedefer to sb./sth(formal) to agree to accept someone’s opinion or decision because you have respect for that person.Examples:Let’s defer the decision for a few weeks.I will defer to Mr. Walter on this point.defer, postpone, delayDefer implies an intentional delaying.Postpone implies an intentional deferring, commonly until a definite time.Delay causes to be behind scheduleI __defrred__ paying the bills.The bus wa s __delayed__ by a cloudburst.We would like to __postphne__ your appointment until Saturday.6. depositn. a. a first payment that you make when you agree to buy something expensive such as a car or house.b. an amount of money you pay when you rent something that is returned to you when you stop renting itc. an amount of money that you pay into a bank accountd. a layer of metal that has formed in soil or rockExamples:We put down a deposit on a house last week.You will have to pay one month’s rent in advance, plus a deposit of $500.I’d like to make a deposit, please.Rich mineral deposits have been discovered in the area.7. guaranteev. a. to promise sth. will happenb. to make sth. certainn. a. an agreement that if sth. you buy does not work, it will be repaired or replacedb. a formal and firm promise that sth. will be done or will happen.Examples:The government guaranteed to free the captives.The rain guarantees a good crop this year.The new television had a guarantee with it.Is there a guarantee of work after training?8. outletn. a. a shop or a place where a particular product is soldb. a way of expressing strong feelings that you would normally not express Examples:Most of their sales are through traditional retail outlets.He plays basketball as an outlet for stress.9. refreshv. to make someone feel less tired or less hot refresh one’s memory to make someone remember something refresh someone’s drink to add more of an alcoholic drink to someone’s glass.Examples:A shower will refresh you.I looked at the map to refresh my memory of the route.Can I refresh your drink?10. revitalizev. to put new strength or power into sth.Example:They hope to revitalize the neighborhood by providing better housing.11. scalelarge scale大规模evolutionary scale进化等级the bathroom scales浴室磅秤the scale on a thermometer温度计上的刻度Richter scale里氏震级a scale of 1∶250 1∶250的比例尺scales of fish鱼鳞12. skimv. a. to remove floating fat or solids from the surface of a liquidb. to read something quickly to find the main facts or ideas in itc. to move along quickly, nearly touching a surfaceExamples:After simmering the meat and vegetables skim the fat off from the surface.Just skim through the second section to save time.The swallows were skimming over the water.Phrases and Expressions:1. agree with sb.If something agrees with you, it doesn’t make you feel ill.Examples:Stop ta king the medicine if it doesn’t agree with you.I find that country life really agrees with me.2. as manythe same number as another particular numberExample:Those coolies were great.
