21世纪大学英语读写教程2reading aloud
Unit 1“Very hesitantly I selected a tube of blue paint,and with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean on the snow-white field.at that moment I heard the sound of a motorcar in the drive and threw down my brush in a panic. I was even more alarmed when I saw who stepped from the car,the wife of Sir John Lavery,the celebrated painter who lived nearby.”“Painting!’she declared.’what fun.But what are you waiting for?’Let me have the brush-the big one.’She plunged into the paints and before I knew it,she had swept several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely terrified canvas.Anyone could see it could not hit back.I hesitated no more.I seized the largest brush and fell upon my wretched victim with wild fury.I have never felt any fear of a canvas since.”Unit 2This belief in hard work is the first of three main factors contributing to Asian students’outstanding performance.It springs from Asians’common heritage of Confucianism, the philosophy of the 5th-century-BC Chinese sage whose teachings have had a profound influence on Chinese society.One of Confucius’s primary teachings is that through effort,people can perfect themselves.Confucianism provides another important ingredient in the Asians’success as well.In Confucian philosophy,the family plays a central role-an orientation that leads people to work for the honor of the family,not just for themselves.One can never repay one’s parents,and there’s a sense of obligation or even guilt that is as strong a force among Asians as Protestant philosophy is among those in the West.Unit 3The first cultural translator I ever met was an installation engineer,George by name,who worked for an American company where I was the director of international operations.The company had just started a joint venture with a Japanese firm,and the American management needed someone to train the Japanese employees in its unique technology.George’s solid understanding of the equipment,its installation and use made him the best-qualified employee for the job,so everyone was happy when George accepted a two-year contract for temporary transfer to Japan.From the start,George was well accepted by all the Japanese employees.Japanese managers often distrust anyone sent to represent US owners,but George was so naturally nonassertive that no one could see him as a threat to their careers.So they felt comfortable asking his advise on a wide range of matters,including the odd behavior of their partners across the ocean.Engineers throughout the company appreciated George’s expertise and his friendly and capable help,and they got into the habit of turning to him whenever they had a problem-any problem.And the secretaries in the office were eager to help this nice bachelor learn Japanese.Unit 4Failure is never pleasant.It hurts adults and children alike.But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it.Step one is to ask“Why did I fail?”Resist the natural impulse to blame someone else.Ask yourself what you did wrong,how you can improve.If someone else can help,don’t be shy about inquiring.Success,which encourages repetition of old behavior,is not nearly as good a teacher as failure.You can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one,from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second.Even a failure that seems total can prompt fresh thinking,a change of direction.Unit 8When you’re eating among other people,you don’t raise your voice;it’s just one example of the unwritten rules we live by.When you consider it,you recognize that those rules probably govern our lives on a more absolute basis than the ones you could find if you looked in the law books.The customs that govern us are what make a civilization.There would be chaos without them,and yet it’s not at all clear why-even in our disintegrating society-we obey them.How many times have you stopped at a red light late at night?You can see in all directions;there’s no one else around-no headlights,no police cruise idling behind you.You’re tired and in a hurry.But you wait for the light to change.Is it for safety’s sake?No;you can see that there would be no accident if you drove on.Is it to avoid getting arrested?No;you are alone;there’s no one to catch you.Still,you sit and wait.。

UNIT 7 Text A Thinking, a neglected artI.Teaching Objectives1. Understand the audio materials of this unit.2. Grasp the key words , phrases and structure.3. Master the skills of writing and reading in this unit.1) Developing an argumentative passage with viewpoint+reasons2) Identifying false logic in reading materials.II. Teaching Content1. Lead-in Activities2. Text Organization3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading4 .Language Points (key words, phrases and difficult sentences)5. Grammar Focus ( “what if …pattern” and “It is + v-ed that …pattern” )6 .Guided Practice ( exercises, oral practice and group work )III. Teaching Process1. Warm-up Questions/Activity1) General Introduction:Your brain is the greatest “personal computer” you‟l l ever have. Consider the huge variety of activities it‟s capable of: observing, learning, dreaming, wondering, feeling, imagining, comparing, calculating, creating, remembering (and forgetting!). But how often do you think about thinking? The three texts in this unit invite you to do just that. While the author of the first article argues that we don‟t value thinking and thinkers highly enough, the second offers some ideas for teaching children or ourselves to think more critically, creatively and effectively.2) Introduce the discussion questions:—How would you define thinking?—When was the last time you "took some time to think" ?—How often is the case that when a friend asks you "what are you thinking?" and you answer "nothing" ?3) Break Ss into groups; and have them discuss for about five minutes; and after the group presentation, sum up the discussion and get down to the text.2. Text OganizationThis text can be divided into 3 parts:Part I (Para 1-3) Introduction: Americans education system is in deep trouble because Americans neglect the art of thinking.Part II (Para 4-10) Details: Many examples show that society has a great prejudice against thinking, which affects the children‟s attitudes towards study.Part III ( Para 11-12) Conclusion.: Americans should revive interest in the art of thinking in order to solve the problems of schools and nation.3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading1) Writing Skill: There are four types of writing—description , narration , argumentation and exposition.This text is a piece of argumentative writing and follows usual patterns of an argumentation or meet the following requirements:viewpoint+reasonsTrain Ss the ability of developing a passage with viewpoint+reasons. Ask Ss to write a viewpoint+reasons paragraph on one of the topics suggested on P204, making a reference to the sample paragraph on this page.2) Reading skill: Identifying false logicNot everything you read is true, and not every writer‟s arguments make sense.One common mistake in logic is proce eding from a false‟s assumption: basing an argument on a statement that is unsupported, a matter of opinion or simply untrue. Sometimes writers may not realize that their assumptions are false; other times they use false assumptions deliberately, because t hey want to promote an idea or make a point, and don‟t really care how they do it!You may , of course, agree with the authors‟ aims and opinions, even though their arguments are false. But it‟s only by questioning a writer‟s arguments that we can formula te our own viewpoint, come to our own conclusions, choose to agree or disagree. This kind of intraction with the ideas in a text is crucial to real comprehension.nguage Points1) But possibly the problem lies not in our institutions as in our attitudes.institution n. a long established custom, law, or system of a particular societyeg: the institution of marriageDrinking tea at 4 p.m. is a popular British institution.They adopted western culture, institutions, and even clothing.2 ) It is sad that although most of us claim that we believe in education, we place no value onintellectual activity .(para2)believe in : have faith in; trust ineg: Christians believe in God and Jesus.Do you believe in ghosts?I never believed in the heresy that the earth would come to an end on Aug 18,1999. It was sheer nonsense.3) We Americans are a charitable and humane people.(para4)paraphrase—We Americans are a kind and giving people.4) But what have we done to promote the art of thinking? (para4)the art of thinking : the skill of thinkingart : n. a skill or ability that can be learned by practice, esp. contrasted with scientific techniqueeg: the art of appearing confident at interviews; the art of letter-writing5) Certainly we make no room for thought in our daily lives. (para4)paraphrase—Certainly we are too busy with our daily lives to spare time for thought.make room for : find space/time foreg: There are two more people coming. Can you make room for them to sit down?Will you clear out the bookshelf to make room for the newly-bought books?6) I need some time to myself.(para4)paraphrase— I want to have some time to be left alone(all) to oneself: (all) alone; without any other people presenteg: With my parents away I've got the house to myself.When he dines in a restaurant. Mark likes to have a table all to himself.7)What if a teenager were to say...? (para4)paraphrase—What would happen if a young child should say?what if : what will/would be the outcome if; suppose thateg: What if he doesn't agree?What if I get stuck in traffic and miss the plane?8 ) His parents would immediately start looking in the Yellow Pages for a psychiatrist. (para4)paraphrase—His parents would think the boy had mental problems and immediately begin to look in the telephone directory for the number of a psychiatrist9 ) when his friends catch him in the act of reading a book .(para5)paraphrase—when his friends unexpectedly find him reading a bookcatch sb. doing sth. : find sb. doing sth. that they should not be doing10) a person who should know better. (para5)paraphrase—a person who ought to have the experience and maturity to be able to act sensibly (i.e. not to feel guilty when doing readings thinking)know better (than to do sth.) : be wise and sensible enough (hot to do sth.)eg: She is only six, but she knows better than to run out into the traffic.I'm surprised at you behaving so badly you ought to know better.11) I found myself feeling vaguely guilty whenever I sneak off to the library to read.(para5)feel vaguely guilty :feel somewhat guilty for an unclear reasonvaguely :ad. slightly; not preciselyeg: I was feeling vaguely lost.There was something vaguely familiar about him.sneak off/away to: leave secretly foreg: How did he sneak off in the middle of the lecture without the knowledge of the professor?13.)… refuse to take their studies seriously…(para5)paraphrase—Do not think their studies are important and worth serious attention14) If Americans ever become convinced of the importance of thought…(para11)be/become convinced of/that : feel/become certain that sth. is true; be made certain by persuasioneg: She was convinced of my innocence.No matter how far away Bob was, his parents were convinced that he would come back to see them on their fiftieth wedding ceremony.15) I‟ll wash the dishes tonight because I know you want to catch up on your thinking. (para11)catch up on :spend time doing (sth. which has been left undone or neglected); do(sth.) so that one is no longer behindeg: Don't bother me this afternoon. I have some work to catch up on.Kevin promised me that he would help me catch up on my homework.They went to the office to catch up on their reports.16) …because regardless of what some advertisers have led us to believe,…(para12)regardless of: in spite of; without worrying abouteg: The plan for a new office building went ahead regardless of local opposition.Anyone can enter for the competition regardless of age, race, and profession.5. Grammar Focus1) The“what if …”patternProcedures:A)Explain to Ss that “what if …”pattern is used in spoken language to ask what will happen,usually when an unpleasant or frightening situation happens;Examples:What if we run out of fresh water?What if you were ten years younger?What if the world goes without electric power?B)Ask Ss to drill this pattern in pairs y making sentences of their own;C)For more practice, do Structure Exercise VIII attached to the text,2) The “It is + V-ed that…”patternProcedures:A)Explain to Ss that in the “It is + V-ed that…”pattern, …it‟ is the formal subject while the“that” clause the real subject. As the subject clause is long, it is placed at the end of the sentence to achieve sentence balance. This pattern is often found with verbs such as believe, think, consider, announce, arrange, recommend, stress, decide, claim, etc.Examples:It is generally agreed that the American education system is in deep trouble.It was reported that there had been an earthquake registered 7.5 on the Richter scale in that region.It is commonly believed that exercising does good to one‟s health.It is expected that the monitor will take the lead.B)Ask them to translate the examples into Chinese.6.

UNIT 8 Text A Unwritten Rules.Teaching Objectives1. Understand the audio materials of this unit.2. Grasp the key words , phrases and structure.3. Master the skills of writing and reading in this unit.1) Developing passages beginning with rhetorical questions2) Distinguishing between facts and opinions in reading materials.II. Teaching Content1. Lead-in Activities2. Text Organization3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading4 .Language Points (key words, phrases and difficult sentences)5. Gra mmar Focus ( “must have done ”pattern )6 .Guided Practice ( exercises, oral practice and group work )III. Teaching Process1. Warm-up Questions/Activity1) General Introduction: How do you behave when you’re alone? Late at night when no oneelse is around, do you burst into spontaneous song and dance? roll around on the grass? make faces at the Moon? If you’re like most of us, you probably don’t do any of these things (very often!)---in fact you probably don’t even talk to yourself (much!). The unwritten rules and regulations of decent behavior--- which some people call “ the social contract”--- are an amazingly strong force in our lives.2) Pair Ss and ask them to recall one experience of breaking a certain rule, either consciously orunconsciously.3) Have them prepare for the following questions:-----Did you realize you broke a rule at the moment it happened?-----If so why did you do that?-----How did you feel about that?-----Were you punished? Why or why not?2. Text OrganizationThe text can be divided into three parts:Part one (para1-5) The author takes an event in restaurant as an example to reveal a common phenomenon－people are governed by some unwritten rules and customs, which makes a civilization.Part two (para6-9) The author provides more examples to illustrate his ideas.Part three (para10) A conclusion: There are many rules that we all obey and we won’t think about them until rare person violates them. But they are necessary parts in a civilization.3. Skill Learning in Writing and Reading1) Writing Skill: Learn to write paragraphs based on rhetorical questions. Rhetorical questions arequestions that the writer asks in order to make a point, not because s/he doesn’t know the answer. On the one hand, the writer already knows or thinks s/he knows how most people will answer these questions. On the other hand, the writer answers his own rhetorical questions.Example:Have you ever had a brilliant idea that you never told anyone about ? Too many of us neglect our own moments o f genius because we don’t have enough confidence. When you hear the word “genius”, do you automatically think it refers to someone else ? Probably—and that’s the biggest barrier to being a genius yourself.2) Reading Skill: Distinguishing between facts and opinions in reading materials.The ability to tell the difference between facts on the one hand and the writer’s opinions or interpretations on the other is a crucial comprehension skill. Facts are statements that tell what really happened or what the case is, and they are usually based on direct evidence. Opinions, on the other hand, are statements, of belief, judgement or feeling. Opinions, of course, are often based on facts－but they also involve the writer’s personal interpretation of the facts, which may or may not match your interpretation of them. The biggest difficuty in distinguishing fact from opinion, however, may arise when you agree with the writer’s opinion: When w e believe something very strongly, it’s easy to mistake our opinions for facts! So critical reading involves careful examination of our own beliefs as well as the author’s.4. Language Points1)rule: Statement of what can, should or must be done in certain circumstances or when playing agame.2) unwritten rule: Rule that is based on custom and practice rather than by law, but is not writtendown.3) A steady hum of conversation hung over the room. (para1)hang over:remain, esp. as sth. Unpleasant or threateningExamples:A Smog used to hang over the city.An economic crisis is hanging over the country.They felt some kind of disaster was hanging over them.With the court case hanging over us, we couldn't enjoy our vacation.4) The man was shouting at the top of his voice. (para3)at the top of one's voice /lungs : as loudly as one canExamples:The fans screamed at the top of their voice at the sight of Michael Jackson.5) ...just as suddenly as he had started, he lowered his voice and finished whatever it was he had to say in a tone the rest of us could not hear…(para3)paraphrase—…just as he had suddenly started shouting, he suddenly lowered his voice and finished his words no matter what it was that he wanted to say , so quietly that the others could not hear.lower/raise one's voice : speak more quietly/loudlyExamples:She lowered her voice and told her friend a secret.The professor raised his voice so that everyone in the classroom could hear him.6) ... with the pressures of our modern world you would almost expect to run into such things on a regular basis. But you don't; as a matter of fact. (para4)paraphrase—In modem society where people are suffering stresses of life and work you almost take it for granted that you would meet with such things very often. But you don't encounter such things very often; in fact ...on a ... basis : (be done) in a ... way; using a... methodExamples:These people donate their blood on a voluntary basis (= voluntarily).The results of the experiment are checked on a daily basis (= every day).as a matter of fact: in fact; in realityExamples:I'm going there tomorrow, as a matter of fact.Nobody wants to miss the opening ceremony; as a matter of fact, they've already bought the tickets for it.7) …when I th ought it over I realized that it was the first time in my life I had witnessed such a demonstration. (para4)witness such a demonstration: see such a burst of emotionwitness vt. see (sth.) happen; observeExamples:The police are trying to find people who witnessed the car accident.He arrived home just in time to witness his brother being taken away by the police. demonstration : n. a display or expression of emotion7)…it’s just one example of the unwritten rules we live by .(para5)the unwritten rules we live by : the unwritten rules which we follow.live by: live according to; behave according to a particular set of rules or ideasExamples:He lives by a strict moral code.Honest labor is the principle we live by.9) The customs that govern us are what make a civilization. (para5)paraphrase—The generally accepted practices that we follow are the elements which make up a civilized society.make: vt. (of sth.) be responsible for the success of (sth. else)Examples:It's his acting that really makes the film.The novel made the young writer.10) …—even in our disintegrating society—we obey them.(para5)a disintegrating society: a society that is falling apartdisintegrate: vi. break into small piecesExamples:The box was so old it just disintegrated when I picked it up.The spacecraft disintegrated as it entered the Earth atmosphere.11) Is it for safety’s sake? (para6)for sth.'s /sb.'s sake (for the sake of sth. /sb.) : for the purpose of sth./sb.; for the benefit of sth./sb.Examples:You know you are not studying for your patents' sake.For the sake of your safety, please fasten your seatbelt.12) At major athletic events, it is not uncommon to find ... (para7)paraphrase—At important sports competitions, it is fairly common to find ...Note that the negative sense of "uncommon" is reversed by the use of another negative word "not". Such "double negative" phrases are devices of understatement.13) There aren’t enough security guards on hand to keep all the spectators from getting out of theirand walking onto the field. (para7)on hand: available; near and ready to helpExamples:He had no cash on hand to pay for the rent.Oliver was frequently on hand for discussion.14) It’s just another unwritten rule of human conduct that people automatically make good on th eirdebts.(para8)automatically make good on their debts : repay what they owe without being askedmake good : repay; make up forExamples:The policeman told the boy's parents that the boy must make good the money he had stolen or go to jail.She promised that she would make good the loss.15) They would no sooner walk out on a bill than start screaming.(para8)walk out on : leave one's responsibility for; fail to fulfillExamples:You can't walk out on the contract, or you could be taken to court.His wife walked out on him, and was later seen with another man.5. Grammar Focus:The must have done patternProcedures:1) Ask Ss to recall the use of must be to give a guess or draw a logical conclusion concerning apresent event, for example:The man who is speaking to all the teachers must be our new school master.Judging from his looks, he must be over fifty now.The children must be very tired after their long journey.2) Explain to them that the“must have done”pattern is used to give a guess or draw a logical conclusion concerning a past event before using the following examples to illustrate:The ground is wet. It must have rained last night.Brown is not in his dorm. He must have gone to the library.They set out early this morning. They must have arrived by now.3) have Ss do Structure Exercise VIII. for practice.6.
