全新版大学英语综合教程第二册教案Unit 1Ways of LearningⅠ. Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between the Chinese andthe Western learning styles) and structure of the text(introduction of topic by an anecdote elaboration by comparison and contrast-conclusion by a suggestion);2.appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways tocompare and contrast(point-by-point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of theunit.1.T asks Ss the following questions. The first is based on the song Teach Your Children:(5 minutes)—According to the song, who should teach whom? Is learning a one-way street? (Parents and children should teach each other and learn from each other. Learning is a two-way interaction.)—Can you guess what the theme of this unit, ways of learning, refers to? (Different people have different learning styles.)2.Ss listen to the following quotation from《文汇读书报》(2001年12月1日第一版，“自自自自自’自’ 自自 ‘自自’? ”) , take some notes, and then T will invite some Ss to summarize in English how Chen Yuhua’s parents handle her education.（possible summary: They let her learn independently and seek out knowledge actively. They may help during the process, but don’t expect them to spoon-feed her with knowledge.）(15 minutes)1.Skimming (15 minutes)1)Ss skim Paras 1-5 and be ready to answer the following questions:—Where and when did the incident take place? (Jinling Hotel in Nanjing, spring 1987)—Who are the main characters in this incident? (author, his wife Ellen, their son Benjamin, hotel staff)—What is the attitude of the author and his wife toward Benjamin’s efforts in inserting the key into the slot? (They let him explore and enjoy himself.)—What is the attitude of the hotel staff toward Benjamin’s efforts? (They held his hand and taught him how to insert the key correctly.)2)T asks some S pairs to report to the class, one asking the above questions and the otherproviding the answers.3)T tells Ss that there are many ways of introducing a topic (see T ext Analysis).Ss will decide whichway is adopted by Howard Gardner.2.T explains language points from Para 1 to Para 5, and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(15 minutes)3.T guides Ss through the directions for T ext Organization Exercise 2 and Writing Strategy. Then Ss scanthe first sentence of both Para 6 and Para 7, and decide what method of comparison and contrast is used here (one-side-at-a-time method). (8 minutes)4.T explains language points from Para 6 to Para 10, and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(15 minutes)5.Ss sum up the contrast between Chinese and Western ways to learn to fulfil a task (the Chinese showa child how to do something, or teach by holding his hand; Westerners teach a child to rely on himselffor solutions to problems). (5 minutes)6. Ss sean from Para 11 to Para 13, then answer the following questions: (5 minutes)—Can you find words like “Chinese” and “Westerner” or “American” or “the West” in each paragraph? (yes)—What method of comparison and contrast is used here? (point-by-point method)7.T explains language points in these paragraphs and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(20 minutes)8.Ss sum up the contrast between the Chinese and the Western attitudes toward creativity andbasic skills. (The Chinese give priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity canbe promoted over time; Westerners put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking that skills can be picked up later.) (5 minutes)9.T explains language points in Para 14 and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(5 minutes)10. T tells Ss that there are many ways of concluding an essay (see Text Analysis).Ss decide whichway is used in this essay. (5 minutes)1. Debate: Should we develop children’s creativity first or train them in basic skills first? (30minutes)1)Ss divide into two groups, one taking the side of creativity first, another taking the side of basicskills first.2)In each group, Ss further divide into smaller groups of three to four, brainstormingarguments \ examples \ statistics \ quotes \ etc. in support of their viewpoint, as well as those that could be used to refute the other side.3)Debate begins, with T acting as moderator.2.T guides Ss through several after-text exercises. (20 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B).(3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2）preview T ext A.Ⅱ. Text AnalysisAn essay is usually made up of three parts: a beginning where the topic is introduced; the body part where the topic is elaborated on, and a conclusion.Besides stating the topic directly, there are many other ways to introduce a theme. In this text, an anecdote or an incident is used. The author of T ext A, Unit 6, Book 1 (What Animals Really Think) introduces his topic by posing a question: “Do animals all have thoughts, what we call consciousness?” T ext B, Unit 3, Book 1 (How to Make Sense out of Science) begins by quoting newspaper headlines:“New Drugs Kill CancerDevastation by El Nino — a Warning6:30 p.m. October 26, 2028: Could This Be the Deadline for the Apocalypse?”T ext B of this unit, Children and Money, begins with an imagined argument between a child and his parent over the control of pocket money. Discover other forms of introduction as you read on. However, the more important point is that you should learn to vary your own writing by adopting various types of topic introduction.Without a conclusion, an essay lacks a sense of completeness. A conclusion may be a restatement of the main points previously mentioned, a proposed solution, a quotation from some book or person, a prediction of future developments, a suggestion for further study, etc. T ext B, Unit 3, Book 1 ends by giving a simile, comparing scientific research to mountain climbing, “a process filled with disappointments and reverses, but somehow we keep moving ahead.” In this text, Howard Gardner makes a suggestion in the form of a question.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Education in the West: There is no common agreement in the West concerning the best method of education. A variety of views can be found among parents, teachers and students. Indeed, it might be argued that it is this very existence of contending points of view that is characteristic of Western education. This can be seen as far back as in the work of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates, who encouraged his students to question everything, even their most fundamental beliefs. Yet even then there was no general agreement that this was the best way to teach. Socrates, after all, was condemned to death by his fellow citizens for corrupting the morals of the young by his way of teaching. Many later periods of Western history were no more tolerant of encouraging students to challenge traditional beliefs: Darwin’s theory of evolution, for example, was for a time banned from schools in some American states on the grounds of religious belief.Much of the current debate over education surrounds the extent to which learning should be teacher-based or student-based. Which of the two should decide what should be learned, how it should be learned, and when it should be learned? Comparing Western and Asian methods oflearning it is generally true that Western methods are more student-centred, expecting students to discover things for themselves rather than relying on their teachers to tell them. An extreme version of the student-centred approach can be seen at Summerhill, a school in England established by the educationalist A.S. Neill. There children have complete freedom to decide what they are going to learn and which lessons they will attend. If they wish they need not attend any at all. Mainstream education in England is far more strict, demanding that children attend lessons and follow a national curriculum. This curriculum and the importance of achieving good exam results tend to reinforce a more teacher-centred approach, as both teachers and students find the pressure of time leaves less opportunity for an exploratory approach to learning.The extent to which learning is teacher-centred or student-centred also depends on differ-ences between subjects. In recent years, for example, there has been a trend in the teaching of mathematics in school classrooms in England away from having pupils work on their own or in small groups back towards a more traditional approach, with the teacher guiding the entire class step-by-step through a lesson. This followed research that suggested that, as far as maths was concerned,a more teacher-centred method was more effective.2. Standing on the shoulders of giants: a well-known phrase, frequently employed by inventors toexpress modesty about their achievements. The suggestion is that while they have been able to see further than those who came before them, it is not because they themselves are intellectual giants.Rather it is because they have been able to build upon the accumulated discoveries of their great predecessors.Ⅳ. Language Study…Unit 2ValuesⅠ. Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.understand the main idea (despite his wealth, Sam Walton remains down-home and devoted to histeam) and structure of the text;1.appreciate the use of indirect description in portraying a person;2.grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;2.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.1.T asks Ss the following questions on the recorded passage: (5 minutes)—What happened to Abraham Lincoln one day? (Working as a shop clerk, he overcharged a customer. Although the sum was insignificant, Lincoln walked a long distance to return the money.)—How is the story related to the theme of the unit — values? (Abraham Lincoln regarded honesty as an important value.)2.Ss do Cloze B in after-text exercises to learn more about the values of American millionaires.(15minutes)3.Rich people I know (15 minutes)1)Before class, Ss are asked to collect stories, news reports, pictures, books, or even video clips (ifrelevant equipment is available for showing them in class) of rich people.1)In class, Ss form groups of three to four to share what they have collected.1.Text organization (20 minutes)1)T asks Ss to scan the text to see if there is any natural dividing lines separating it into parts. (Thetext can be divided into three parts. Between each part, there is a blank line.)2)T draws Ss’ attention to T ext Organization Exercise 1, guides them through the directions, so thatthey can grasp the main function of each part.3)Ss scan the text again to underline all the names mentioned and tell who these persons are.(They are: Jamie Beaulieu, waiter at Sam Walton’s birthday partyJonnie Baker, night manager at the local Wal-MartRichard Hoback, Mayor of Bentonville, ArkansasGordon Garlington, pastor of the local churchJohn Marshall, local barberJim Von Gremp, corporate affairs directorFerold F. Arend, retired president of Wal-MartJim Hendren, company lawyeralso see Text Analysis)4)Ss will notice that the text transits from Part II to Part III when the first corporate job —corporate affairs director — is mentioned.2.T explains language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (60 minutes)3.Finding synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home” (10 minutes)1)T asks some Ss to explain the title of Text A in their own words.2)Ss work alone to find out synonyms or synonymous phrases for “down-home”.3)Some Ss report their findings to the class.( Para 5 carry on like plain folksPara 6 folksy waysPara 7 friendly, cheerful, a fine neighbor who does his best to blend in, never flashy, never throwing his weight aroundPara 11 not a front-page person)4)T reminds Ss to vary their own writings by synonyms or synonymous phrases.Post-reading tasks1. Using indirect description in portraying a person (25 minutes)1)Ss complete Text Organization Exercise 2 and compare answers with each other.2)T makes Ss think by asking Ss this question: How does the author reveal these character traits ofSam Walton? Does he come forward to tell us directly what Sam Walton is like?3)T introduces methods of indirect description and writes them down on the blackboard: anecdotes,examples, quotes, comparison and contrast, etc. (see Text Analysis)4)Ss work in pairs to find out examples of these methods.5)Some pairs report their findings to the class.6)T urges Ss to adopt these methods when describing a person.2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview T ext A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisTo make a character portrait convincing, an author must refrain from telling readers directly what the person is like. Instead, he/she lets readers deduce.Of all the methods of indirect description, the one used most frequently in T ext A is quotation. The author quotes not only Sam Walton himself, e.g. “The reason for our success... is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit”, but also his townsfolk and colleagues (as shown in while-reading tasks in the Suggested Teaching Plan).The text begins with an anecdote: how waiter Jamie Beaulieu had anticipated a lavish mansion at the Waltons, only to find an ordinary-looking household. This kind of beginning lures readers to go on. There are other anecdotes, like how Sam Walton forgot his wallet and insisted on fetching it to pay the local barber, and how he lost 4 straight games after a Wal-Mart employee asked him a question about pricing.Sam Walton is a folksy guy, of which a lot of examples are given. Examples of how generous an employer he is are also plentiful.Jamie Beaulieu’s anticipation and the reality he later found out form a contrast. It reveals Sam Walton’s down-home characteristics. When retired company president Ferold F. Arend compared Sam Walton with his previous employer, we appreciate further Sam Walton’s generosity.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Rolls-Royce: any of the large, expensive, comfortable cars made by the British company Rolls-Royce.Many people recognize them by the small metal statue on the front of every Rolls-Royce car. The company was formed in 1905-1906 by Charles Rolls (1877-1910) and Henry Royce (1863-1933) and also produces aircraft engines. The Rolls-Royce company was bought by the German company Volkswagen in 1998. The name Rolls-Royce is also used informally to refer to the best product of a particular type.2.dime store: a store offering a wide assortment of inexpensive items, formerly costing five or ten cents,for personal and household use.3.Wal-Mart: any of a very large chain of shops in the US selling a wide range of goods at low prices.The first Wal-Mart Discount City was opened in 1962 by Sam Walton.4.Ford Motor Company: a large US company that makes cars. It was established in Detroit in 1903by Henry Ford, and the first Model T was sold in 1908. The company has produced the Lincoln since 1922 and the Mercury since 1938.s: Apart from their surname or last name, most British and American children are given twopersonal names by their parents, a first name and a middle name. These names are sometimes called Christian names or given names. Some people have only one given name, a few have three or more. Friends and members of a family who are of similar age usually call one another by their first names. In some families young people now also call their aunts and uncles and even their parents by their first names. Outside the family, the expression be on first name terms suggests that the people concerned have a friendly, informal relationship.When writing their name Americans commonly give their first name, their middle initial and their last name, e.g. George M. Cohan. Both given names are used in full only on formal occasions, e.g.when people get married.6.Forbes: an American business magazine. It is noted for its lists of the richest men and women inbusiness. In its November 27, 2000 edition it published one listing the 50 richest businessmen and women in China, headed by Rong Yiren of CITIC with 1.9 billion dollars, followed in second place by Liu Yongxing of the Hope Group with 1 billion dollars. The richest businesswoman on the list was Yang Lan of Sun T elevision, with 63 million dollars.Ⅳ. Language Study…Ⅰ.

(surfing the Internet)—How did he act in front of his boss? (He pretended to be surprised at the computer which had crashed “unexpectedly”.)2.Ss look at the theme of this unit (The Virtual World) and the title of Text A (A Virtual Life), thentry to: (10 minutes)—find antonyms of “virtual world” and “virtual life”; (real world, real life)—suggest synonyms for “virtual world”; (cyberspace, cyberia, etherworld, virtual reality, Internet world, net world, etc.)—say what people can do on the Internet, (communicating with people, shopping, reading, entertainment, education, working, hacking, publishing, etc.)3.Imaginative writing(28 minutes)1) T dictates to Ss the following paragraph:For the past two weeks, other participants of the Net Survival Contest (网络生存竞赛)and I have been shut up in bare hotel rooms. Our only link to the real world has been a computer that is hooked up to the Internet (联网电脑). We have relied on it, not only for food, bed sheets and other daily necessities, but also to set up an e-business （电子商务）of our own.2)Now Ss will complete the next paragraph beginning with: “Now it is time for me to walkout into the light of day again...” They will give their imagination full play. They will write no more than 100 words.3)Ss form groups of four to five, and read aloud to each other their own writings.4)T asks some groups to recommend the best piece in their group to the class.4. T may lead in to Text A by saying: Some of us like to live a life in contact with real things and real people, but others favor a virtual existence. Which life is better? I’m sure you have different opinions. Now let’s read Text A to find out what Maia Szalavitz has to say about these two life styles. (2 minutes)1.Text organization (15 minutes)1)T draws Ss’ attention to Text Organization Exercise 1, and lets them read its instructions aswell as what has already been done for them in this exercise.2)Ss try to complete the exercise by simply reading the first sentence of each paragraph in TextA.1)Ss compare answers with each other; if necessary, T may help.2.T explains the key language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (45 minutes)3.T guides Ss through Structure Exercise 2. (10 minutes)2.Ss re-read Paras 4-10, work in pairs to find out consequences of “my” virtual life. Can they usethe “find oneself + adj./ past participle/present participle” structure when summing up the consequences? (10 minutes)4.Some pairs report to the class their findings, using the “find” structure. (5 minutes)1. Computer-related vocabulary items (20 minutes)1)Ss scan Text A to find out vocabulary items related to computer and the Internet. (They are:virtual life, the net, telecommuter, email, Internet mailing lists, computer-assisted, data, link, cyber-interaction, on line, system crash, click on the modem, connection, password)2)T tells Ss that new terms related to computer and the Internet are constantly added to theEnglish vocabulary, so much so that many of them are not included in any English dictionary.However, if we apply certain rules, their meanings are easy to deduce.3)T gives Ss more examples of computer-related vocabulary items (see Text Analysis).2. T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks.

Cultural Notes1. the Internet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was origi-nally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, e.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. The Internet is saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers.Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet.Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends.2.NBC (the National Broadcasting Company): the first of the original three US nationalbroadcasting companies.

Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (dreaming and hard work helped Michael Stone on his way to success) andthe structure of the text (narration with a flashback);2.appreciate the narrative skills (using details to bring out a character; a surprising ending; use ofpuns);1.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;2.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.1.T asks Ss the following questions on the song Coming out of Dark:(5 minutes)—Consider the title of the song, what does “Dark” refer to? (near death; loss of consciousness after the car accident; slow and painful recovery; despair)—How is the song related to the theme of the unit? (To get over despair after injury is also a form of overcoming obstacles.)2.Do you know these proverbs? (13 minutes)1)T dictates the following proverbs to Ss:—Where there’s a will, there’s a way. (自自自自自自)—Rome wasn’t built in a day. (自自自自自自自/自自自自自自自)—God helps those who help themselves. (自自自自自自自/自自自自自,)—You shall reap, what you sow. (自自自自自自自自自/自自自自自自自自自自)—Constant dripping wears away the stone. (自自自自自自自自自自)2)Ss try to translate these proverbs into Chinese.3)Ss scan Text A to find a similar saying by Michael’s father, which is in italics. （If you wantsomething, work for it! / You want something, work for it!）3.T may lead in to the text by saying: Hard work is important to success, but it is not the onlyfactor that contributes to success. As we will find out in this text, dreaming is equally important.(2 minutes)1.Text organization (17 minutes)1)T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 1, so that they know the textconsists of four parts.2)Ss scan the first sentence of Paras 1-6, and get ready to answer the following questions:—Which first sentence switches from past tense to past perfect tense? (the first sentence of Para 3) ( T may as well tell Ss this: a story is usually narrated in the simple past tense.When a past event is recalled, the past perfect tense will be used as a signal. Afterwards the flashback is also narrated in the simple past tense.)—Which first sentence shows that the flashback is over and the narration returns to the National Junior Olympics? (the first sentence of Para 6)—By now, do you know how to divide the text into four parts? Write down your answers in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1.3)Ss do Text Organization Exercise 2.2.T explains language points and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).When they come to the end of a part, Ss will sum up its main idea in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1.(60 minutes)3.Ss answer these questions (see Text Analysis):(8 minutes)—Without the last sentence, would you still admire Michael Stone’s achievement?—Who would you admire better, a Michael Stone with a sound body or a blind Michael Stone?—Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’s blindness until the last sentence?age (15 minutes)1)Ss scan the text again to find out the three instances where “work” is used as a verb.2)T asks some Ss to explain in English the three different meanings of “work”.3)Ss do the after-text Usage exercise on “work”.。

Para 1:I can still see the confusion and curiosity in his eyes as he asked, “Are you poor?”1. Why did the boy ask such a question? ——Because he was confused and curious.2. How much did the boy know about the Salvation Army bell ringer? ——Obviously he knew nothing about that.Para 2: “Well,” I stammered, trying to think, “I have more than some people, but not as much as other.”1. How did the author think of the question? ——He thought it was difficult to answer.2. What does the author’s answer mean?——This means he is neither poor nor rich.Para 2: His mother scolded him for the social no-no ...1. What is “social no-no”? ——Something that is socially inappropriate.2. Why did the mother scold her son?Because the author looked poor, the question was socially inappropriate to ask.Para 4: Yet I feel nothing more than a passing whim to attain the material things so many other people have.1. What do many other people have? ——The material things.2. Please paraphrase this sentence.However, I have only occasionally felt the urge to go after the material things so many other people have.Para 5: And I love the “can do” attitude that follows.1.

How do you understand this sentence? ——And I love the feeling of self confidence brought by brisk exercises.Para 8:Shortly after her visit, our relationship went straight south.1.

Why there was such a change in their relationship?Because the girl actually paid much attention to material things although she claimed that she was interested in what was on the inside, and after she went to the author’s apartment, she found he was really poor.Para 10: There is a commercial on the radio that begins, “Everybody wants a high-end TV …” The pressure to purchase is real. It may be true that everybody wants a high-end TV. After all, nobody wants to be a nobody.1. What is “a high-end TV”?——A TV that is expensive and of high quality.2. What can be inferred from this part about what role commercials can play in society?Commercials can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.Para 9:December is the time of year I feel wealthiest.Why does the author think so?Because December is the time for him to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.Para 12: Over the past four years, I’ve grown to understand more about myself because of a single question from a curious child.1. How has the boy’s question affected the author?The boy’s question has helped him realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and should be thankful for that.)2. Translate this sentence into Chinese.由于一个好奇的孩子提了一个简单问题，我在过去的四年中对自己的了解进了一步。
