新标准⼤学英语综合教程Book-Unit10教案⼤学英语2课程教案Unit 10 Green FatigueTeaching Content:Green FatigueLesson Type: Intensive Reading (New Standard College English Book 1)Total Time: 4.5 HoursClass/Object : Freshman (the Second term)Teaching Procedures:Step 1Starting Point(10mins)Group discussion: What is the most important threats and changes to the environment. Free talking: What will you do for protecting the environment?Step 2Reading Task1.Introductory remarks (10mins)1) Background information:Since at least the 1970s people have been aware of environmental issues, but in recent years widespread concern has focused more on climate change and global warming. Climate change is one result of global warming, and has serious potential consequences. It could cause ice caps to melt, which would lead to a rise in sea levels, which in turn could endanger coastal cities. Climate change could also cause increases in droughts, floods, storms and cyclones, which couldaffect water supplies and lead to an increase in deserts and a decrease in harvests, and thus food shortages. So environmental awareness is important for everyone.2)Environmental awarenessIt means that people are aware of their impact on the environment. This includes an awareness of major environmental issues, such as climate change, global warming, pollution, recycling and energy-saving, and the role of people in them. Environmentally-aware people have some knowledge of possible solutions and make commitment to practical action towards solutions. This commitment is often called “green”. If businesses use a green label, they try to show that they support the protection of the environment. The meaning of environmental awareness has become broader as people have come to understand the complexity of environmental problems and the impact of people on the environment3) carbon footprintThe carbon footprint is a measure of the direct contribution of carbon from energy use. The element carbon is added to the earth’s atmosphere by the use of energy in lighting,heating or cooling houses, cooking, driving cars, flying planes and other human activities. This has an impact on the environment and affects climate change because it adds to greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Indirect carbon emissions from manufacturing and transport also create a carbon footprint. By measuring the carbon footprint we can get an idea of what each of us contributes to the climate change and what effect our actions may have on lowering the footprint, or reducing carbon emissions.Step 3 Comprehending the text (15mins)1. Do exercise 1(on page 16) before reading the text.2. Do exercise 2(on page 18) and exercise 6(on page 19) after reading the text asquickly as possible.Step 4 Language Points and Difficult Sentences (130mins)Language Points1. fatigue n. [U] the feeling that you have done a particular activity for so long that youno longer want to do it (长期做某事引起的)疲劳,疲倦e.g.1) Driver fatigue was to blame for the accident.这个事故是驾驶员疲劳所致。

Some information about April Fool’s DayApril Fool’s Day is on April 1st. It is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year's Day was changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!Each country celebrates April Fool's differently. In France, the April Fool's is called "April Fish" (Poisson d'Avril). The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs and when some discovers a this trick, they yell "Poisson d'Avril!". In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.Unit 3(6 hours)I.

Unit 10TEXT ISTRAIGHT-A ILLITERACYJames P. DegnanObjectives: to understand what straight-A illiteracy means and define it;to make a comparison between ordinary illiteracy and straight-A illiteracy and comments on it;to discuss the appropriate diction in writing.Pre-reading Questions1. What does ‘straight-A illiteracy’ mean?A straight-A student is one who gets A’s for all the courses he takes. He is generally admired for his excellent scholarship.It seems paradoxi cal to call someone a ‘straight-A illiterate’. What does the author mean by it? Read the article and try to understand and define what straight-A illiteracy means.In-reading ComprehensionPara. 11. as often as not: at least half the time; frequently2. How many kinds of illiterate according to D.?Two kinds: ordinary illiterates who are unable to read or write. There are quite a lot of this kind of illiterates in schools.straight-A illiterate who is typically a Ph.D., a successful professor and textbook author, and who is more influential.3. Why does D say that a straight-A illiterate is more influential? (comp. 3-2)He is usu. one who occupies a position at the top of the academic hierarchy; the way he writes is considered exemplary, and his judgment of what is appropriate is directive.4. What do people do with these two kinds of illiterate?More concern has been shown for the ordinary illiterates. People even make fuss about this kind of illiteracy. However, little attention is aroused to straight-A illiterates. So, the purpose of this article is to give them as much attention as has been paid to ordinary illiterates. (ll. 6-7)Para. 21. What is this para. about?D’s treatment with a disease of straight-A illiteracy in his office.2. Do you think D’s comparison of straight-A illiteracy to a disease is appropriate? Explain. (comp. 3-3)Yes. Like a disease, it victimizes healthy persons; it has its symptoms, and its agents.3. Who is the straight-A illiterate?a college senior ... outstanding graduate schools.He is extremely clever and highly talented in language. He has done an excellent job in his studies, so he has been awarded an opportunity to further his study in one of the nation’s best graduate schools.4. How does the treatment go?They have been going over the student’s paper sentence by sentence, word by word for an hour, prying and probing for its meaning.‘Prying and probing’, the repetition of the same structure, is to emphasize the extreme difficulty of the task.5. Are there any other words to highlight the extreme difficulty in understanding Mr. Bright’s paper? (comp. 3-4)interrogating, cross-examining, pause to catch my breath, on earth, his brow furrowed, tries mightily, finally ... finally, another hour, decode ....6. Try to explain why the following pairs of sentences are the same in meaning: ll. 15-17, ll. 23 (comp. 3-8)As intended by the student, ‘The choice ... multi-colinearity’ corresponds to ‘demand’ while ‘... the derivations ... coefficients’ corresponds to ‘supply’.This is a very abstruse sentence to unravel.7. Why does D insert the word ‘allegorically’ in ‘... whom I call, allegorically,Mr. Bright’? (comp. 3-5)‘allegory’ in Lib. Work.When the author calls his student Mr. Bright allegorically, he does not mean to refer to this particular straight-A student only. He is using the term to cover all those students, college seniors, and Ph.D.’s who may seem bright when judged by their academic records, but who nevertheless fail to detect gibberish in their own writings or in those of others.The student given the name Mr. Bright thus becomes a symbol.Is he really bright? No, here in an ironical sense.Para. 31. It attacks best minds, ... in that of others.It does harm to the most intelligent individual and, by and by, wears away his ability to judge, eventually reducing him to being unable t Para. 3o detect nonsense either in his own writing or in that of others.This is the harm that straight-A illiteracy does to people.2. Reword the following sentences so that they are more easily understood: ll. 34-35, ll. 37-41 (comp. 3-9)ll. 34-35: The shop assistants had better have in stock what our customers need, or we won’t be in business long (=This is said or written by an ordinary illiterate, who is poor at spelling (them), pronunciation, punctuation, grammar (had + better, stock -up on, ain’t gonna be). So he makes many mistakes, and so he is kept out of institutions of higher learning. (l. 33)ll. 37-41: You must focus your attention on what your customers need so that you are able to tell what is necessary from what is unnecessary when you replenish your stock.This is written by a straight-A illiterate, who would never make spelling, grammar, punctuation mistakes, but who is incapable of making his ideas simple and clear in his writing. However, it is for writing this gibberish that he can be awarded straight As on his papers and the opportunity to continue his study, receiving higher and higher education until he has successfully got the Ph.D.The higher education one receives, the more serious his disease of straight-A illiteracy becomes. (ll. 27-28)3. Make complete the elliptical sentence ‘Not our man’. What is the function? (comp. 3-6)‘This is not what our man would say’. This ellipsis contrasts the two types of illiteracy, and with it D turns back from one type to the other.Para. 41. What is the major cause of straight-A illiteracy?the stuff - the textbooks and professional journals that the straight-A illiterate is forced to read during his years of higher education.He reads gibberish, and gradually he forms a habit of writing gibberish himself, which he has been instructed to learn an exemplary writing of sophisticated taste. (ll. 46-47)2. Give the examples of gibberish D quotes from professional journals.jargons as ‘ego-integrative action orientation’ and ‘orientation toward improvement of the graficational-deprivation balance of the actor’‘homologous’ or ‘isomorphic’, meaning ‘alike’‘allotropic’, meaning ‘different’‘dichotomize’ or ‘bifurcate’, meaning ‘divide anything3. D concludes his article by using quite a number of unintelligible words and expressions in place of clear and simple English. Is it effective? Why?This usual arrangement has undoubtedly enabled the reader once again to feel even more the absurdity of the practice to express simple ideas in an almost incomprehensible way, adding more weight to the point he intends to make. (Analysis)Post-reading Discussion1. Makeadefinition of ‘straight-A illiteracy’. (comp. 1-A)2. What is the purpose of D’s writing? (comp. 3-1)to find the cause of straight-A illiteracy.to give straight-A illiterate equal time with his widely publicizedcounterpart. (para. 1)to expose and condemn the use of professional jargon, which fills the reading materials that highly educated people are forced to read as they pursue their education. (Analysis)3. Comp. 24. Group work: Compare briefly the two types of illiteracy. Which type in your opinion presents a graver problem to society? (comp. 3-10)TEXT IITHE QUALITIES OF GOOD WRITINGJacqueline Berke1. This is an excerpt from Twenty Questions for the Writer, a widely used writing textbook, the kind of which we need to read to further our learning by ourselves. What do you usu. do when you read this kind of book by yourselves? Underline or highlight the important words or sentences, or make notes of your own so as to get the gist of it. Suppose you have borrowed this book from the library and come to read this part. What will you do with it? Study the text individually before class and do what you usu. do to catch the gist.2. Have group work for about 20 mins., exchanging what you have learned after reading it, and preparing for a presentation of this text. Your presentation can be based on Questions 1, 2, & 4 on p165.3. Presentation: Ask 4 groups to present the three qualities and human nature of writing respectively.4. As college seniors, we need to choose those more specific, exact, meaningful words in our writing rather than those common words as ‘good’, ‘nice’, etc. Do you consider using those more specific, exact, meaningful words as a kind of straight-A illiteracy?
