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.

A brief summary of the ways to express futurityc.Appreciate the narrative skills demonstrated in the text(the selections of the details, theconversational tone; idiomatic and straightforward writing style; the use of the exaggeration; the frequent use of the verb-preposition and verb-particle combination to make his writing very informald.The writer carried out his New Year’s resolution faithfully to improve himself, but the results allwent contrary to his expectations. Why?III.Teaching Procedures:TEXT I This Year It’s Going to Be DifferentI. Pre-reading QuestionsWhen a person makes New Year’s resolutions, he makes up his mind to do or not to do certain things in the coming year. Of course, different people make different New Year’s resolutions. For example, a student may decide to work harder at his studies and not go to the cinema so often; a teacher may decide to improve his/her teaching; a heavy smoker may decide to stop smoking altogether. Some people may be able to carry out their New Year’s resolutions, but some may not. For most People, it’s often easier to make New Year’s resolutions than to carry them out.It is suggested that the students should first guess without being given any part of the story.II. The Main IdeaThe statement that best sums up the main idea is (3): “The writer carried out his New Year’s resolution faithfully to improve himself, but the results all went contrary to his expectations.”III. Teaching Points for Reference1. A brief summary of the ways to express futurity1) The neutral future is formed by using the auxiliaries will/ shall and infinitive.Examples:Tomorrow will be his Sunday. (Level 3, Unit 3)Is it possible to make an atomic engine that will be really safe in every circumstance?(Level3,Unit 6)2) The construction to be going to is used to express future intention.Examples:This year it is going to be different.I know what the kids are going to do.Note: This construction cannot be used for neutral futurity, which does not depend on any person’s will or intention. For Example, both the following sentences are wrong.* Tomorrow is going to be his Sunday.* If you go to the U.S.A., you are going to come across the remarkable, almost legendaryhospitality of the American of the West.3) The construction be to do (something) is used to express arrangement or command.Examples:Now let all men know that crops are to be planted as usual. (Level 3, Unit 11)Shaka ordered: “All women who are found with child are to be put to death with their husbands.”4) The construction be about to is used to express near future.Examples:Roy and Sammy were about to perform open-heart surgery on Mrs. Robinson with a scoutknife.=Roy and Sammy were just going to do an open-heart operation on Mrs. Robinson witha scout knife.She was about to tell us the truth when you entered the building.2. The use of over in the text1) I tiptoed over and kissed her on the back of the neck.Over adv. :across a distance or open space, either towards or away from someone/something.More examples:We asked Kate’s two sailor friends over to help us gain our point indirectly.Go over to your Grandmother, my dear. She’s beckoning to you.2)“What did you do over the holidays?”over prep.—during, in the course of (a period or an event)More examples:She likes to listen to some light music over the weekend.Paul has become more mature over the years.3) To ease the situation, I picked up her brand-new sweater from the floor and put it over a chair.Over prep. —resting on top of something and covering something partly or completelyMore examples:John was so tired that he was found sprawling on the floor asleep with his dripping raincoatover a sofa.4) Take over one of your wife’s chores, she’ll love you for it.Take over—take charge ofMore examples:The firm became more and more prosperous after the son took it over.We expect Mr. Johnson will take over our class when Mr. Shaw retires.3.“It wasn’t my idea to stay out until four a.m.”The phrase one’s idea to do something is used to express what one wishes to do.More examples:It was not my idea to argue with them. What I wanted was only to seek the truth from facts.4. Instead, I got a pencil and drew a sketch of the escapement mechanism.draw—make a picture with a pen, pencil or chalkdraw a sketch—make a rough picture (drawing, diagram) with a pencilMore examples:Fancy him drawing so well at the age of five.She cherished the sketch of the roaring sea not because it was drawn by a famous artist but because it brought back some fond memories.Cf.: By now the kids were in the room, drawn by the commotion.be drawn by the commotion——be attracted by the noisy confusion.Here, draw means “attract”.More examples:The film that tells of the unusual faithfulness between a miner and his wife drew large audiences when it was on.Supermarkets, which were unknown to the Chinese people some years ago, have begun to draw large numbers of customers in many cities in China.5. She was in her pajamas.—She was wearing her pajamas.in—wearingMore examples:Jimmy Wells, the policeman in uniform, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.Now the fashion is for girls to be dressed in pure silk in summer and in expensive fur coats in winter.6. Maggie always dreads taking down the Christmas tree, so I thought I’d to it for her.1) dread—feel worried about. Dread is followed by an-ing participle.Another example:Small children usually dread paying a visit to the dentist.It is also correct to say:Small children usually dread a visit to the dentist.Small children usually dread that they will be taken to the dentist.2) take down the Christmas tree—take down the tinsel, coloured lights, etc., from the Christmas tree,and remove the tree itself. The antonym for take down is put up.More examples:It often takes a long time to take down a Christmas tree.When they went camping last summer, they had a good time. Every evening they put up their tent and the following morning they took it down.7. I was about two-thirds done when Maggie came in. —I had finished about two-thirds of the work…done—finishedTwo-thirds serves as an adverbial modifying done.More examples:His new novel is about two-fifths thicker than his previous one.At the end of last year the construction project was already four-fifths finished.Unit 2(7 hours)I. Teaching objectivesa. Have a basic understanding of salvation in the text.b. Understand the purpose of the writer in the article.c. Appreciate the writing techniques and rhetorical devices.d. Learn language points.e. Oral speaking practiceII. Teaching emphasisa. Vocabulary: salvation, revival, bring the lamb to the fold, escortb. Appreciate the stylistic features (ironic title; repetitions for creating a tense atmosphere; vividdescriptions).c. Understand how did the writer achieve the ironic effect?II.Teaching Procedures:TEXT I SalvattionI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe purpose of asking the students to look up the given words is two-fold: to provide them with clues about the religious content of the text and to supply them with adequate background information. Try not to give the students any extra information or they may lose interest in the passage. It is always best for the students to solve their own problems by themselves.Definitions of words as used in the Christian religion:salvation—the state of having one’s soul saved from sin and its consequences 灵魂的拯救save—set free from the power of or from the eternal punishment for sinsin—breaking of God’s laws, disobedience to God’s commandmentsrevival—series of meetings intended to produce an increase in interest in religion, or to stir up the religious faith among those who have been indifferent, usually by preaching and confession ofsins(鼓动性的)福音布道会lamb—young members of church flock or Christian congregationfold—body of believers in the Christian religionII. The Main IdeasThe statement that best sums up the main ideas is (1):“After having through a painful process, the child was finally saved from sin, but instead of feeling joyous, he felt miserable because of his disillusionment.”III. VocabularyA. Guessing the meanings of words and phrases1. speak (usually silently) to God, showing love, giving thanks or asking for something2. was taken3. low sound of pain or suffering4. terrible5. go down and / or remain on the knees6. very dark / shiny black7. shook / moved gently8. calml9. smil broadly10. make somebody believe something that is falseB. Looking up words in a dictionary1. give a religious talk, usually as part of a service in church2. very quickly3. marked by regular succession of weak and strong stresses, accents, sounds or movements (in speech,music, dancing, etc.)4. a talk usually based on a sentence or “verse”from the Bible and preached as part of a churchservice.5. twisted together into one plait (here, of hair)6. (of hands and fingers) twisted, with swollen joints and rough skin as from hard work or old age.7. a person who lives a vicious life; a habitual drunkard8. use God’s name in cursing; speak of God without respect9. (here) interrupt from time to time with something10. causing great joy and happiness.IV. Teaching Points for Reference1. … and the membership of the church had grown…membership—number of members; all membersMore examples:The drama society in our school has a large membership.The membership of our self-taught group has grown by leaps and bounds this summer because of the young people’s thirst for knowledge.2. … all moans and shouts and lonely cries and dire pictures of hell,…Lonely means “having no companionship”and indicates the “state of mind of one being or feeling alone.”Lonely may also be applied to places which are unfrequented or remote from human habitation. More examples:With the development of the travel business, swarms of tourists now visit the newly discovered cave in the once lonely mountainous area.The retired worker is not living a lonely life since she has so much work to do in the neighborhood and since there is so much warmth and care at home.3. Finally all the young people had gone to the altar and were saved, but one boy and me. but—except More examples:He is talking about everything but the most important thing.I have been to all the important scenic spots in Hangzhou but the Yellow Dragon Cave.4. Then I was left all alone on the mourners’ bench.Alone means “by oneself”.More examples:He lives entirely alone and is very lonely.In this war of liberation we shall not be alone.Better be alone than in bad company.Lonely differs from alone in that it usually means experiencing or producing a feeling of isolation and sadness whereas alone does not. Moreover, lonely is used both attributively and predicatively, alone only predicatively.5.“Langston,”my aunt sobbed.sob—draw in the breath sharply and irregularly from sorrow or pain while crying 啜泣,呜咽More examples:“Oh, don’t leave me, don’t leave me!”She began to sob passionately.A feeling of infinite regret came over him, as he saw her lying in bed sobbing like a child. Shewouldn’t have failed in the experiment if he had given her timely support.Cf.: And the little girls cried.To cry is to express grief or pain or sorrow by making mournful sounds and shedding tears.哭泣More examples:So he cried quite alone for a long time till he at last cried himself to sleep.It is no use crying over spilt milk.Cf.: Tom allowed himself to weep tears, they were tears of anger.Weep stresses the shedding of tears.The difference between weep and cry is that crying is audible and accompanied with tears, but to weep usually refers to the silent shedding of tears.More examples:She didn’t weep over the death of her son who died a heroic death but devoted herself to the noble work that her son had been doing.Taking the boy to her breast, she rocked him in her arms, and wept silently over him.6. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I’d better lie, too, and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved.s ave—make unnecessary; relieve (somebody) from the need of using 免得,节省More examples:She went to the food shop to buy some cooked meat to save her time and energy / to save her cooking.Labor-saving gadgets such as potato peelers and nut-crackers save us a lot of time.Cf.: save—free (a person) from the power or effect of evil (sin) in Christianity and some other religions 拯救7. Suddenly the whole room broke into a sea of shouting, as they saw me rise.break into—begin suddenly to give voice toMore examples:When the crowd saw the prize-fighter stretched out on the canvas, they broke into shouts and cheers.They broke into laughter when they saw my clownish dress.Unit 3(7 hours)1.Teaching objectivesa.Have a basic understanding of “read between the lines” and “write between the lines”.b.Understand the writer’s logic of writing: how did the writer persuade the reader to writedown in the book he is reading.c.Appreciate the writing techniques: Comparison, Simile and Metaphord.Learn language points.e.Oral speaking practice2.Teaching emphasisa.Vocabulary: Mutilation; dilapidated; integral ;unblemished; receptacle:b.Sentence: And marking a book is literally an expression of ...c.Writing techniques: comparison and metaphor3.Teaching procedures:TEXT ⅠWriting Between the LinesI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe dictionary definition of read between the lines is:“find more meaning than the words appear to express; gather more meanings from a text that are not actually stated, but implied”. Write between the lines is not a set phrase. The writer has invented this phrase by following the pattern of the set phrase read between the lines and replacing read with write to stress the importance of writing notes and comments in the book one is reading. In spite of the word “writing”in the title, this essay is actually a piece of good advice on how to “read”efficiently.II. The Main IdeasAnswer for reference:The writer is trying to persuade the reader to write down in the book he is reading his reactions to the text. The reader’s reactions may include his questions, his agreements or differences of opinion with the author, his doubts and so on. In this way the reader will be doing the most efficient kind of reading. III. VocabularyA. Guessing the meanings of words1. argue, claim2. destruction3. buying4. ownership5. move from one place to another6. (of books and papers) having the corners of the pages turned up or down with use so that they looklike a dog’s ears7. whole because no part has been touched or spoilt8. absolutely essential9. loosely joined sheets of paper (a pad) for writing notes10. to be treated with great respectB. Looking up words in a dictionary1. plainly, directly2. hold back (from doing something)3. broken and old; falling to pieces4. write hastily or carelessly5. not spoiled, as new6. pencil of soft colored chalk or wax, used for drawing7. a musical work for a large group of instruments8. the arrangement, style and appearance of printed matter9. humble state of mind10. a containerIV. Teaching Points for Reference1. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. = Only when you have made it apart of yourself does full ownership come.Note that when only when is used to begin a sentence, the second part of the sentence is in inverted order.More examples:People were made aware of the dangers of pollution by insecticides only when Rachel Carson published her book Silent Spring. =Only when … were people made aware of …You are likely to do the most efficient kind of reading only when you write between the lines.(=Only when… are you likely to…)2. Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading?be indispensable to—be essential to; be necessary in; be too important to live withoutMore examples:Just as water is vital to fish, air is indispensable to man.A good basic education, an insatiable curiosity in people and events, a certain tenacity of purpose,an ability to write clearly, honestly and accurately and a knowledge of state laws are the requirements indispensable to a good radio journalist.3. Now an ordinary piece of light fiction like, say, Gone With the Wind, does not require the most active kind of reading. But a great book rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises and tries to answer great fundamental questions, demands the most active reading of which you are capable.1) rich in—possessing or containing a lot (of)More examples:Contrary to what some Western experts predicted, China is not deficient but rich in oil.This art gallery is rich in paintings by all types of painters; there are works of Classicism, Realism, Expressionism, Abstractionism, Romanticism and Naturalism.2) require—needdemand—call for as necessary; require; needIn the two sentences quoted above, the two words, require and demand mean the same and can be used interchangeably. In another sense, however, demand implies asking for (something) as if ordering (something) one has a right to, whereas require suggests a pressing, often an inherent need.More examples:The Board of Directors will meet this afternoon. Your presence at the meeting is required.The assistant at the reception desk demanded his passport when the man wanted a double room.3) be capable of—have the power or ability to doMore examples:The reconstruction of Tangshan from ashes has shown the world what the people in Tangshan are capable of.Chinese doctors working in Third-World countries and regions have trained many local experts who are now capable of doing operations using acupuncture anesthesia.4. But don’t let anybody tell you that a reader is supposed to be solely on the receiving end. be supposed to…—be expected to…; be required toMore examples:Peter is down with the measles and is supposed to be lying in bed but he is already up and about.In the second scene, where she was supposed to face the company in the ball-room, she did even better, causing a smile to appear on the face of the director.5. Presumably he knows more about the subject…—Probably / It is taken for granted that he knows more about the subject…presumably—supposedly (to be true), it may be reasonable to suppose thatExample:To everyone’s disappointment John was absent from the meeting. Presumably he was busy with his new project.Interaction ActivitiesThe Way I Do My ReadingSuggestions:1. Before starting to read:1) read the Contents page of the book,2) have a quick look at the chapter headings,3) have a glance at the Index which is helpful for specific information.2. Skimming and scanning:1) Skimming is a reading skill you use when you want to get the main idea of a book—(1) read the introduction, usually the opening paragraph of a chapter,(2) read the conclusion, usually the final paragraph of a chapter,(3) read very quickly, skip or leave out small portions of the material in order to get the main ideas. 2) Scanning is a reading skill you use when you want to check quickly whether a text you are readingcontains information you need—(1) think of some key words connected with the information you need—look quickly down the pageto see if you can spot any of them; if you do, read the sentences around them to check if you information is what you need;(2) look for chapter headings / paragraph headings; words in bold type / words underlined —theygive you a lot of quick information about the contents of the reading matter,(3) if the information you need is in a book, look at the list of contents and the indexes.3. Note-taking:(1) Write down important points, the points relevant to your needs, sometimes useful expressions tohelp improve your language,(2) Underline, use symbols or write between the lines, in the margins, or the end papers, or on ascratch pad or in a notebook,(3) sort out the main points, which will help to focus on the reading as well as to provide a summary.4. 1) Textbooks: slow speed, less than 100 wpm (words per minute) for intensive reading, study andremember.2) Fiction: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for entertainment.3) Non-fiction: average speed, 150-200 wpm, reading for special purposes.4) Newspapers: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for information.5) Magazines: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for information or entertainment.Unit 4(7 hours)1.Teaching objectivesa.Have a basic understanding of Journalistic style report.b.Understand t he writer’s logic of writing: How Berners-Lee’s life and work help him to createwww.c.Appreciate the writing techniques: Journalistic style; up-dated language; technical terms;concrete information; special order of organization)d.Learn language pointse.Oral speaking Practice2.Teaching emphasisa.Vocabulary: zip off; unencumbered; nifty; noodle around; lingua franca ; debut, cobble together;cash in onb.Understand the organization of the text.c.Understand journalistic styleTEXT I Network Designer-Tim Berners-LeeI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe students may be asked a number of questions such as the following before they make their guesses.1. What nationality is Tim Berners-Lee?2. Is he a university graduate?3. When did he begin to take an interest in the computer?4. Did he work in a research institute specializing in computer science?5. Was he given the assignment of designing the World Wide Web or did he hit upon the idea just byaccident?6. What was it that made WWW a reality?II. The Main IdeasAnswers for reference:1. Access to the Internet which gives people information of all kinds seems a matter of course.2. World Wide Web, which began as a little computer program nearly 20 years ago, was the work of TimBerners-Lee alone.3. Having designed a kind of “hypertext”notebook which linked various kinds of information on hisown computer, Berners-Lee wanted to open it up to everyone who would like to link their stuff to his.4. Berners-Lee devised HTML, URL and HTTP, all of which finally brought the World Wide Web tofruition in 1991.5. Brought up as a quintessential child of the computer age, Berners-Lee created a most significantglobal system.6. In spite of his Gutenbergian creation of the WWW, Berners-Lee chose the non-profit road, both forhimself and for his creation.II. Teaching Points for Reference1. It turns out you can “enquire”about nearly anything…—It happens that you can ask about almostanything…Turn out meaning “happen to be, or be found to be”is usually followed by a noun or an adjective. It may also be followed by a that clause. Examples:Much to his disappointment, his experiment turned out a failure.After a long spell of rain, it turned out to be fine and sunny on the day of our sports meet.It turned out that the unexpected visitor was one of my mother’s former students.2. …access to the Internet—the opportunity to use the Internet. Access meaning “the means or opportunity or right to use or see something”is followed by the preposition to.Examples:In a university library, we have access to large numbers of academic books.In our country every child has access to education.3. Thomas Edison got credit for the light bulb—Thomas Edison received recognition for the light bulb. Credit for something is the recognition or respect or praise given to someone because of something they have done or achieved. Examples:We gave Wang credit for his remarkable achievements in biotechnology.Tim Berners-Lee should be given credit for the creation of WWW.Credit should go to Frank for the team’s success.4. It started, of all places, in the Swiss Alps.Of all places, of all things, or of all people are used to suggest that a particular place, thing, or person seems surprising or unlikely when there are many other places where something might happen, many other things which might be expected to be done, or many other people who might be present or be doing something. Examples:Of all places, they went vacationing in an unknown village.Of all things, she bought an ordinary bowl as a souvenir.I can’t understand why she, of all people, should speak to us about how to use the computer.5. … that dealt with information in a “brain-like”way —that handled information in the way as the brain does. Deal with is used in different ways with different meanings.Examples:Mark is very smart. He can deal with (handle) all kinds of difficult situations.Recently I read an article which dealt with (concerned / was concerned with) the latest developments in computer science.Be cautious about what kind of business firms you deal with (do business with).6. keep track of all the random associations one comes across…Keep track of means “keep oneself informed about something”or “pay attention to something so thatone knows what is happening.”Example:We read newspapers every day to keep track of current events.The opposite of keep track of is lose track of. Example:We’ve lost track of him since he left Shanghai for home.Random means “unplanned, unintentional, aimless, purposeless, etc.”Examples: While everyone was discussing the question seriously, John made a few random remarks now and then.He was whiling away his time by putting down some random thoughts on paper.At random is used adverbially. Examples:He put the books on the bookshelves at random (i.e., without putting them in any order).She chose a number of books at random to lend to her neighbor.7. The rest of the world may be trying to cash in on the Web’s phenomenal growth…—Other people may be trying to take advantage of or make a profit from the unusually fast development of the Web… Cash in on means “take advantage of or make a profit from a situation in a way that is unfair.”Example: The only shop in that out-of-the-way village cashed in on the shortage of everyday necessities by putting up prices.Oral WorkI.

Commercial and cultural heart of the city, Manhattan is the site of the Metropolitan Opera House, Carnegie Hall, the City Center of Music and Drama, and numerous other music institutions.2.Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) is an Austrian physician and the founder of psychoanalysis.Freud explored the workings of the human mind and developed psychoanalysis as a therapeutic technique to treat neurosis or mental disturbances.Text StudyTextTwo Words to Avoid, Two to RememberArthur Gordon1 Nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person — not only changed, but changed for the better. Such moments are rare, certainly, but they come to all of us. Sometimes from a book, a sermon, a line of poetry. Sometimes from a friend ...2 That wintry afternoon in Manhattan, waiting in the little French restaurant, I was feeling frustrated and depressed. Because of several miscalculations on my part, a project of considerable importance in my life had fallen through. Even the prospect of seeing a dear friend (the Old Man, as I privately and affectionately thought of him) failed to cheer me as it usually did. I sat there frowning at the checkered tablecloth, chewing the bitter cud of hindsight.3 He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist. His offices were nearby; I knew he had just left his last patient of the day. He was close to 80, but he still carried a full case load, still acted as director of a large foundation, still loved to escape to the golf course whenever he could.4 By the time he came over and sat beside me, the waiter had brought his invariable bottle of ale. I had not seen him for several months, but he seemed as indestructible as ever. "Well, young man," he said without preliminary, "what's troubling you?"5 I had long since ceased to be surprised at his perceptiveness. So I proceeded to tell him, at some length, just what was bothering me. With a kind of melancholy pride, I tried to be very honest. I blamed no one else for my disappointment, only myself. I analyzed the whole thing, all the bad judgments, the false moves. I went on for perhaps 15 minutes, while the Old Man sipped his ale in silence.6 When I finished, he put down his glass. "Come on," he said. "Let's go back to my office."7 "Your office? Did you forget something?"8 "No," he said mildly. "I want your reaction to something. That's all."9 A chill rain was beginning to fall outside, but his office was warm and comfortable and familiar: book-lined walls, long leather couch, signed photograph of Sigmund Freud, tape recorder by the window. His secretary had gone home. We were alone.10 The Old Man took a tape from a flat cardboard box and fitted it onto the machine. "On this tape," he said, "are three short recordings made by three persons who came to me for help. They are not identified, of course. I want you to listen to the recordings and see if you can pick out the two-word phrase that is the common denominator in all three cases." He smiled. "Don't look so puzzled. I have my reasons."11 What the owners of the voices on the tape had in common, it seemed to me, was unhappiness. The man who spoke first evidently had suffered some kind of business loss or failure; he berated himself for not having worked harder, for not having looked ahead. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by. The third voice belonged to a mother whose teen-age son was in trouble with the police; she blamed herself endlessly.12 The Old Man switched off the machine and leaned back in his chair. "Six times in those recordings a phrase is used that's full of subtle poison. Did you spot it? No? Well, perhaps that's because you used it three times yourself down in the restaurant a little while ago." He picked up the box that had held the tape and tossed it over to me. "There they are, right on the label. The two saddest words in any language."13 I looked down. Printed neatly in red ink were the words: If only.14 "You'd be amazed," said the Old Man, "if you knew how many thousands of times I've sat in this chair and listened to woeful sentences beginning with those two words. 'If only,' they say to me, 'I had done it differently — or not done it at all. If only I hadn't lost my temper, said the cruel thing, made that dishonest move, told that foolish lie. If only I had been wiser, or more unselfish, or more self-controlled.' They go on and on until I stop them. Sometimes I make them listen to the recordings you just heard. 'If only,' I say to them, 'you'd stop saying if only, we might begin to get somewhere!'"15 The Old Man stretched out his legs. "The trouble with 'if only,'" he said, "is that it doesn't change anything. It keeps the person facing the wrong way —backward instead of forward. It wastes time. In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.16 "Now take your own case: your plans didn't work out. Why? Because you made certain mistakes. Well, that's all right: everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are what we learn from. But when you were telling me about them, lamenting this, regretting that, you weren't really learning from them."17 "How do you know?" I said, a bit defensively.18 "Because," said the Old Man, "you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future. And in a way — be honest, now! — you were enjoying it. There's a perverse streak in all of us that makes us like to hash over old mistakes. After all, when you relate the story of some disaster or disappointment that has happened to you, you're still the chief character, still in the center of the stage."19 I shook my head ruefully. "Well, what's the remedy?"20 "Shift the focus," said the Old Man promptly. "Change the key words and substitute a phrasethat supplies lift instead of creating drag."21 "Do you have such a phrase to recommend?"22 "Certainly. Strike out the words 'if only'; substitute the phrase 'next time.'"23 "Next time?"24 "That's right. I've seen it work minor miracles right here in this room. As long as a patient keeps saying 'if only' to me, he's in trouble. But when he looks me in the eye and says 'next time,' I know he's on his way to overcoming his problem. It means he has decided to apply the lessons he has learned from his experience, however grim or painful it may have been. It means he's going to push aside the roadblock of regret, move forward, take action, resume living. Try it yourself. You'll see."25 My old friend stopped speaking. Outside, I could hear the rain whispering against the windowpane. I tried sliding one phrase out of my mind and replacing it with the other. It was fanciful, of course, but I could hear the new words lock into place with an audible click....26 The Old Man stood up a bit stiffly. "Well, class dismissed. It has been good to see you, young man. Always is. Now, if you will help me find a taxi, I probably should be getting on home."27 We came out of the building into the rainy night. I spotted a cruising cab and ran toward it, but another pedestrian was quicker.28 "My, my," said the Old Man slyly. "If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?"29 I laughed and picked up the cue. "Next time I'll run faster."30 "That's it," cried the Old Man, pulling his absurd hat down around his ears. "That's it exactly!"31 Another taxi slowed. I opened the door for him. He smiled and waved as it moved away. I never saw him again. A month later, he died of a sudden heart attack, in full stride, so to speak.32 More than a year has passed since that rainy afternoon in Manhattan. But to this day, whenever I find myself thinking "if only", I change it to "next time". Then I wait for that almost-perceptible mental click. And when I hear it, I think of the Old Man.33 A small fragment of immortality, to be sure. But it's the kind he would have wanted.Words and Phrases1.prospect n. sth. one expects to happen; a possibility or likelihood of sth. happeninge.g. I look forward to the prospect of being a volunteer doing social work in the GreatNorthwest.There is a reasonable prospect of reaching the trapped miners within the next 24 hours.prospects pl. — opportunitiese.g. Most people are not quite optimistic about the prospects for/of employment.Don't think too much how the job pays now.

(para.15)Key:The three speakers on the tape were all unhappy, and the two words they all used frequently in what they said were "if only". What the old man wanted to point out to the author was that to keep saying "if only" would not change anything; on the contrary, it only kept the person facing the wrong way — backward instead of forward.

The chief purpose of narration is to interest and entertain, though, of course, it may be used to instruct and inform.Narrative Structure of the TextGordon's purpose of writing, obviously, is not just to tell what happened during his meeting with his friend, but, more importantly, to instruct. The instructive significance of the story is made clear in the first paragraph. In the first few lines Gordon has already made it clear to the reader that what he is going to do is to tell how "the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person — not only changed, but changed for the better — ... Sometimes from a friend."In the first three paragraphs, which serve as a kind of introduction to the narration, we learn something about the physical circumstances for the meeting, i.e. the time —one rainy wintry afternoon, and the place — a French restaurant in Manhattan; the author's somber mood caused by his failure to complete an important project; and also something about the Old Man — his age, his profession, and perhaps more importantly, his positive attitude towards life.The last two paragraphs form a sort of conclusion, in which what the author has learned from his friend, which is also what he wants his readers to learn, is explicitly stated: ... whenever I find myself thinking "if only", I change it to "next time".III. Text IIText StudyTextThe Romance of WordsWilfred Funk and Norman Lewis1 From now on we want you to look at words intently, to be inordinately curious about them and to examine them syllable by syllable, letter by letter. They are your tools of understanding and self-expression. Collect them. Keep them in condition. Learn how to handle them. Develop a fastidious, but not a fussy, choice. Work always towards good taste in their use. Train your ear for their harmonies.2 We urge you not to take words for granted just because they have been part of your daily speech since childhood. You must examine them. Turn them over and over, and see the seal and superscription on each one, as though you were handling a coin. We would like you actually to fall in love with words.3 Words, as you know, are not dead things. They are fairly wriggling with life. They are the exciting and mysterious tokens of our thoughts, and like human beings, they are born, come to maturity, grow old and die, and sometimes they are even re-born in a new age. A word, from its birth to its death, is a process, not a static thing.4 Words, like living trees, have roots, branches and leaves.5 Shall we stay with this analogy for a few moments, and see how perfect it is?6 The story of the root of a word is the story of its origin. The study of origins is called etymology, which in turn has its roots in the Greek word etymon meaning "true" and the Greek ending — logia meaning "knowledge." So etymology means the true knowledge of words.7 Every word in our language is a frozen metaphor, a frozen picture. It is this poetry behind words that gives language its overwhelming power. And the more intimately we know the romance that lies within each word, the better understanding we will have of its meaning.8 For instance, on certain occasions you will probably say that you have "calculated" the cost of something or other. What does this term "calculate" really mean? Here is the story. Years ago, ancient Romans had an instrument called a hodometer, or "road measurer," which corresponds to our modern taximeter. If you had hired a two-wheeled Roman vehicle to ride, say, to the Forum, you might have found in the back a tin can with a revolving cover that held a quantity of pebbles. This can was so contrived that each time the wheel turned the metal cover also revolved and a pebble dropped through a hole into the receptacle below. At the end of your trip you counted the pebbles and calculated your bill. You see the Latin word for pebble was calculus, and that's where our word "calculate" comes from.9 There are, of course, many words with much simpler histories than this. When you speak of a "surplus," for instance, you are merely saying that you have a sur (French for "over") plus (French for "more") or a sur-plus. That is, you have an "over-more" than you need.10 Should you be in a snooty mood for the nonce, and happen to look at someone rather haughtily, your friends might call you supercilious, a word which comes from the Latin supercilium, meaning that "eyebrow" you just raised. That person you are so fond of, who hasbecome your companion, — [cum (Latin for "with") and panis (Latin for "bread")] — is simply one who eats bread with you. That's all. Again, "trumps" in bridge is from the French "triomphe" or triumph, an old-time game of cards. In modern cards one suit is allowed to triumph over, or to "trump" the other suits. And still again, in the army, the lieutenant is literally one who takes the place of the captain when the latter is not around. From the French lieu (we use it in "in lieu of") and tenir, "to hold." The captain, in turn, derives from the Latin word caput (head); colonel comes from columna (the "column" that he leads).11 If, by any chance, you would like to twit your friend, the Wall Street broker, just tell him that his professional title came from the Middle English word brocour, a broacher, or one who opens, or broaches, a cask to draw off the wine or liquor. We still employ the same word in the original sense when we say "he broached (or opened up) the subject." Finally the broacher, or broker, became a salesman of wine. Then of other things, such as stocks and bonds.12 These are the roots of words. We next come to the branches. The branches of our language tree are those many groups of words that have grown out from one original root.13 Let's take an example. The Latin term spectare which means "to see" contains the root spec, and from this one root have sprouted more than 240 English words. We find the root hidden in such words as spectacles, those things you "see" through; in respect, the tribute you give to a person you care to "see" again; inspect, "to see" into; disrespect (dis — unwilling; re — again; spec — to see) therefore, when you treat someone with disrespect, you make it plain that you do not care to see him again; introspection, looking or seeing within; spectator, one who "sees" or watches.14 Turning to the Greek language, which has so largely enriched our own, we discover the root appearing in English as graph. This means "to write" and has been a prolific source of words for us. We have telegraph, which literally means "far writing"; phonograph, "soundwriting"; photograph, "light-writing"; stenographer, one who does "condensed writing"; a graphic description, one that is just as clear and effective as though it had been written down; mimeograph, "to write a copy or imitation."15 We have in our language a host of roots such as these. There is the Latin spirare, meaning "to blow or breathe," from which we get such English words as inspire (breathe into); expire (breathe out); perspire (breathe through); respiration (breathing again or often). And there is also our word "liable" that comes from the Latin ligare, "to bind." This fascinating root lig has branched out into oblige and obligate (to bind to do something); ligature (bandage or binding); ligament (something that ties two things together); and, with the root no longer so obvious, "league" (those nations or other organizations that are bound together); and even the word "ally" which is from ad and ligare, to bind to one another.16 These, then, are the branches. We turn now to the leaves. If the roots are the origins of words and the branches are the word families that stem out of them, the leaves of this language tree would be the words themselves and their meanings.17 Each given word, in its beginning, had, no doubt, only one meaning. But words are so full of life that they are continually sprouting the green shoots of new meanings.18 Shall we choose just one word as an instance of the amazing vitality of language? The simple three letter word run, up to this moment of writing, has more than 90 dictionary definitions. There is the run in your stocking and the run on the bank and a run in baseball. The clock may run down but you run up a bill. Colors run. You may run a race or run a business or you may have the run of。

Unit OneText 1HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEADAlan WarnerObjectives: to comprehend the text and to know the importance of choosing theright words in writing as well as in speaking,to learn the use of analogy in writing and compose a paragraph usinganalogy to help explain.Section OnePre-reading Questions1. What’s the meaning of the English proverb Hit the nail on the head? What do you think this topic suggests in the article?In-reading InterpretationPara. 11.Tell the literal and figurative meanings ofhit the nail (squarely) on the head: (fig.) say or do exactly the right thing, make a point or interpret a remark precisely; guess rightdrive sth home: (lit.) force the nail into the right place(fig.) make sth unmistakably clear2. This para. can be divided into two sections: one about the carpenter or the driving of a nail (ll. 1-5), the other about the language craftsman or the choice of a word (ll. 5-8).Which sentence establishes the link between the driving of a nail and the choice of a word? (comp.3-1)“So with language; ... firmly and exactly.”3.Explain and perform according to the text how a clumsy carpenter and a skillfulone hammer a nail into a box respectively?A clumsy carpenter hits the nail to one side, then to another, and knocks it over, so fails to drive the nail home; while a skillful carpenter hits the nail squarely on the head and easily drives it home (lit. meaning).4.This is about the carpenter in the driving of a nail. The following is about a language craftsman in the choice of a word.How does a good language craftsman/user do in using language?Choose words that drive home his point firmly and exactly; aim at clean English (precise and clear English –comp. 2-1); get the word that is completely right for his purpose.Not use a word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguousexpression, or a vague adjective. (All the underlined words mean ‘inexact’, ‘inaccurate’.) In other words, a good language user hits the (right) nail on the head and drives his point home (here figuratively).5. A word that is more or less right, a loose phrase, an ambiguous expression, a vague adjective, will not satisfy a writer who aims at clean English (=precise and clear).A writer who is particular about the exactness of an expression in English will never feel happy with a word which fails to express an idea accurately. (LW6-1)or, A writer who wishes to express his ideas precisely will not use the words which are inaccurate. Choose to use those apt vocabularies.Para. 21. What is the meaning of ‘apt’? What does this refer to in The French have an apt phrase for this? (Comp. 3-2) What is the ‘apt phrase’?Apt: well-suited, to the pointThis in the first sentence of the second paragraph refers to the last sentence in the previous paragraph: to get the word that is completely right for this purpose.le mot juste = (French) the correct, right word2. Who is Gustave Flaubert? How much do you know about him? (Lib. W. 1) (refer to [欧洲文学史],(下)pp.140-147) Why does the author say that he is a scrupulous writer?G.Flaubert (1821 - 1880), French novelist, was associated with, though not representative of, the movement of naturalism and known as one of the greatest realists of 19th century France. His masterpieces: Madame Bovary包法利夫人,L’Education Sentimentale情感教育,La Tentation de Saint Antoine圣安东尼的诱惑,纯朴的心He is considered as a scrupulous writer because he spent days trying to get one or two sentences exactly right.He devoted his life to long hours spent in heavy toil over his work. His writing is marked by exactness and accuracy of observation, extreme impersonality and objectivity of treatment, and precision and expressiveness in style, or the principle of the mot juste.2.Why is it so hard to get one or two sentences exactly right?There are many and various words in English language. They are subtle and delicate. They have different shades of meaning and sometimes it is really hard to distinguish the slight differences among synonyms. So it is not enough to have a wide range of vocabulary. We should also know the exact meaning of the words and choose the right words so that we can get our meaning accurately. (ll. 11-15)3. Choosing words is part of the process of realization, of defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves, as well as for those who hear or read our words. (LW.6-2) realization= fulfilling one’s goal, i.e. to express oneself precisely (comp.2-2)defining our thoughts and feelings for ourselves = getting to know what we are going toexpressfor those who hear or read our words = for our listeners and readers to understand us To a certain extent, the process of finding the right words to use is a process of perfection where you try to search for words that may most accurately express your thoughts and feelings, and words that may most effectively make your listeners and readers understand your thoughts and feelings.Or, Using the right word / le mot juste is one of the stages in the process in which we know our thoughts and feelings clearly and express them precisely, and on the other hand, make our readers and listeners catch what we think and feel accurately. In other words, using the right word can help us to express ourselves exactly, to know what we are going to talk about, and can help our listeners and readers to understand us.4. What’s the meaning of How can I know what I think till I see what I say? Do you think so? Why does the author think it a stupid-sounding question? And why does he think, however, this is true? (Do you agree with the author that there is a great deal of truth in the seemingly stupid question? Why or why not?) (Comp.3-3)It means ‘I can’t get to know my own thoughts before I put them in words.’ (utter it or write it down)Yes, I do. How can a person not know his own thoughts. It sounds irrational that a person does not know what he himself thinks before he sees what he says.This is true in the sense that only after we find the right words to express ourselves exactly can we find our own thoughts clearly. As a matter of fact, it is quite true that unless we have found the exact words to verbalize our own thoughts we can never be very sure of what our thoughts are; without words, our thoughts cannot be defined or stated in a clear and precise manner.Paras. 3 & 41.It is hard work choosing the right words, but we shall be rewarded by the satisfaction that finding them brings.(LW6-3)Finding the most suitable word to use is in no sense easy, but there is nothing like the delight we shall experience when such a word is located.Or, Though it is not easy to find the most suitable word to drive home our points exactly, w e’ll get satisfied / be delighted when we succeed in doing so.2. The exact use of language gives us mastery over the material we are dealing with. (LW 6-4)Once we are able to use language accurately, we are in a position to fully understand our subject matter.Or, Using the apt word indicates that we can fully understand what we are dealing with / talking about.3.Tell the examples in paras. 3 & 4 and the purpose of using them.The example in para. 3 demonstrates: once you are able to find the mot juste to describe the limitation of this fellow, you know what sort of man he really is. (ll.24-5)In other words, the reason why you can’t find the right word is that you don’t have a clear mind of the thing you are going to describe. This example illustrates the point How can I know what I think till I see what I say? in para. 2.So from this example of a man searching for the right word for his feelings about his friend, we know that the function that words perform is to define our thoughts and feelings for ourselves and to define our thoughts and feelings for those who hear us. (comp. 2-3, C) 4. The example in para. 4 indicates the same viewpoint:You will be in a disadvantageous position when someone knows your name but you don’t know his, because he is clear who he is dealing with while you aren’t so that he has the kind of advantage to control you, as the last sentence states: Command of words is ultimately command over life and experience.Paras 5-12In these paras. specific examples are given to demonstrate the significance of hitting the nail on the head in communication. Tell the examples in your own words. Distinguish the following pairs of words and sentences.1. (para.5) Do human and humane mean the same? What are the meanings of human action and humane action, human killer and humane killer?human [`hju:men] = of, characterizing, or relating to manhumane [hju:`mein] = characterized by kindness, mercy, sympathyThushuman action = action taken by manhumane action = merciful actionhuman killer = person that kills humanshumane killer = sth that kills but causes little paine.g. - the Declaration of Human / Humane Right ?- Helping that blind man to cross the street is a very ________ thing to do. (human, humane)- We believe in __________ treatment of prisoner. (human, humane)humanity: mankind, human nature, quality of being humanehumanism, humanist, humanitarian; humanizeTheir origin is the same and their meanings are related, but their usage is distinct. i.e. They are of the same origin / root, but of semantic difference.2. (para.6) What is the difference in meaning or usage between anxiety and eagerness?anxiety = a kind of worry and fear about sth that will / is likely to happen in the future.eagerness = sort of desire or wishThey have some kinship with each other, but cannot be substituted by each other.e.g. - My anxiety grew when my 7-year-old son hadn’t returned by nightfall.- Not knowing whether or not he would be admitted to the university caused the whole family great anxiety.- When the box of chocolate is passed around, David is waiting with intense eagerness.- Her hands trembled with anxiety / eagerness as she opened the letter. (different senses with different words)3. (paras. 7, 8) What’s the difference between singularity and singleness?singular = outstanding and extraordinary, very strange and peculiar, uncommon (denotation)singularit y = oddity, peculiarity, sth. that singles a man out from other mensingle = only one and no more, solitary, separate, individuale.g. - singular behavior / dress / opinion- single-minded: steadfast or firm to the purpose in mind, / single dressThese two words also have the same root but different senses.4. (para. 9) Look at the sentence All that was ever thought or written about Christmas is imprisoned in this sentence... Why is imprisoned not the “mot juste”? Why are the words contained, summed up, epitomized and distilled better than imprisoned in this sentence?The word imprison‘suggests to put in with force, coercion (pressure, compulsion) as if the meaning were held against its will.’ (l.59)Contain and sum up are more commonly used.Epitomize has the same semantic meaning with contained and summed up, but it is rather a clumsy-sound word, because it is too academic, more formal, so inappropriate in this informal context.Distill means to leave out the impurities and make purifying essence (e.g. distilled water), so the essence of the meaning of this sentence can be better expressed in the following sentence: The essence of all that was ever thought or written about Christmas is distilled in this sentence.5.(para.10) Tell the differences betweenIn my childhood I loved to watch trains go by.When I was a child I loved watching trains go by.and He died poor.He expired in indigent circumstances.a. At first glance these two sentences are exactly the same. But look more closely and you will see that there are very tiny differences.in my childhood - more abstract than when I was a childwatching - more emphasis on the action of looking at trains than to watchin one’s childhood / adolescence / youth / adulth ood / old agesb. He died poor.He expired in indigent circumstancesThese two sentences are of similar lexical interpretations, but the feelings each of them gives the reader are quite different since the words are changed. The first is a rather common statement, nothing special is contained in it while the latter epitomizes strong emotion, which may arouse the reader a kind of sympathy. So The change in words is a change in style, and the effect on the reader is quite different, as Prof. Ralei gh stated:’ There are no synonyms, and the same statement can never be repeated in a changed form of words.’Therefore, as para.10 concludes, we should ‘increase our skills’ in using the right word for our purpose and increase our ‘sensitivity’ with the sh ades of difference in vocabulary.Section Two6.(Para.11) The study of words, of their origins and shifting meanings, can tell us agreat deal about human life and thought. It is difficult and sometimes impossible to translate a word from one language into another. Why? Supply some such examples with English and Chinese. (comp.3-7)Those are words denoting notions which are existent only in specific cultures, not universally shared by all cultures.English words difficult to be turned into Chinese: privacy, party, lobby(v.), highlight, etc.Chinese words difficult to be turned into English: 吹风会,粽子,五保户, 五讲四美,etc.Comp. 2-5: The examples of untranslatability of some words given in this para. Best illustrate: the 3rd sentence7. (Para.12) Another reason for increasing our skills and sensitivity is that: there are many synonyms in English language, i.e. different words bearing the similar meaning.LW1, 2 & 48.What do all these specific examples serve in this article?to support the main ideas. Remember the title is Hit the nail on the head, a proverb which indicates here to use the exact words to express oneself, or to express your right meaning by using the precise words.Para.13What does the writer conclude in the last paragraph? Retell this paragraph in your own words.Better know two words exactly than three vaguely.Post-reading Discussion1.Can you draw the main ideas of this article?One must be able to choose the right word from the extensive vocabulary of the English language to facilitate one’s own process of cognition and one’s communication with others. (Comp. 1-B)Section ThreeAnalysis1.Encourage the students to make their presentation on analogy. (10 mins.)What is an analogy? What’s the a dvantage of using it / when is it necessary to use it? Illustrate it by analyzing the text or give your own examples.Analogy is a special kind of comparison and a more concrete way to explain things. Like comparison, analogy shows similarities, but unlike comparison, analogy aims at what is common between two things of different classes. e.g. (P.7)We are likely to turn to an analogy to bring it to life when we have to explain sth vast, remote, abstract or specialized. e.g. (P7)2. Ask the whole class to identify the places where the analogy is referred to in the article. (Comp.3-8) (10 mins.)3. Supply more analogies showing the use of analogies. (10 mins.)Suppose you are going to write a passage discussing the learning of a foreign language. Use an analogy to help you explain. (LW 7)Text II The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own ManuscriptsDonald M. MurrayQuestions for individual pre-class work:1. What difference is there between the professional writers and the amateurs? What does Murray mean by Writers must learn to be their own best enemy? (paras. 1, 2, 3, 4)A professional regards the 1st draft as the beginning of the job, ‘the 0 draft’, never finishedAn amateur as the end of the job, done, finishedWriters must learn to be fastidious and exacting, i.e., severely critical with their own writing.2.What does a professional writer usually do when finishing his first draft? Identify thesenten-ces in paras. 2-6.(para. 2) discover what they have to say and how best they can say.(para. 3) say more and say it more clearly,change and rearrange the words to avoid confusionand clarify meaning(para. 4) accept criticism and praise of others and be suspicious of it(para. 5) detach themselves from their own pages, then reread hem as strangers(para. 6) be critical of everything, be passion-hot and critic-cold simultaneously(para. 8) be critical and constructive simultaneously, to cut what is bad and to reveal what is good so that in the end the writing still maintains its original freshness and spontaneity.3.What is the problem arising for the writers doing these kind of work and for the majorityofstudents? (para. 7)They are overly too critical to complete a draft, tear up page after page, think everything dreadful, see the task as hopeless4.What are the possible ways of rewriting for writers? (paras. 11-2)A few writers seem to do little rewriting, but they create and review the invisible drafts in their minds before approaching the page.Some writers revise page by page.Most writers revise draft by draft, catching the larger problems of subject and form, then moving in closer and closer.5. What are the 8 points that M. thinks writers must consider when revising their drafts? How do you explain them?Information, meaning, audience, form, structure, development, dimension, voice. Refer to paras.13-20.6. What else does M. think a writer should do in revising apart from these 8 points?(para.21) Line-by-line editing. Study individually all the clauses, phrases, words, and even the punctuation marks.(para. 22) once a word is changed, … all the words used … must be considered and reconsidered.(para. 23) read aloud / mutter to himself part of his manuscript at a certain stage of revising, because our ears are very good judges of language, being sensitive to the flow of words. What is right should sound right, and what sound right should be right.(para. 25) choose the precise word for words have double, triple, even quadruple meanings.(para. 26) from word to phrase to sentence to paragraph, then backward, to achieve variety, balance, coherence, unity, emphasis, firmer structure and appropriate form7. How does M. End his essay? Comment on the way M. concludes his essay. (para. 30)The apparently unfinished essay is a good illustration of his idea that a piece of writing is never really finished, it can always be re-read, and re-written, with sth deleted and sth added. 8. What will you be benef ited in your writing practice if you follow M’s suggestions?Group work and class presentation:Gp1: Work out a presentation of paras. 1-12 based on questions 1-4.Gp 2: Work out a presentation of paras. 13-26 based on questions 5-6.Class discussion on Qs. 7-8.Questions on TEXT II, UNIT I for pre-class work:1. What difference is there between the professional writers and the amateurs? What does Murray mean by Writers must learn to be their own best enemy? (paras. 1, 2, 3, 4)2.What does a professional writer usually do whenfinish-ing his first draft? Identify the sentences in paras. 2-6, 8?3.What is the problem arising for the writers doing these kind of work and for the majority of students? (para. 7)4.What are the possible ways of rewriting for writers? (paras. 11-2)5. What are the 8 points that M. thinks writers must consider when revising their drafts? How do you explain them? (paras. 13-20)6. What else does M. think a writer should do in revising apart from these 8 points?(paras.21-6)7. How does M. End his essay? Comment on the way M. concludes his essay. (paras. 27-30)8. What will you be benefited in your writing practice if you follow M’s suggestions?Unit 1-1Para.1--- Comp. 2-1, 3-1--- Tell the literal and figurative meani ngs of ‘hit the nail on the head’ and ‘drive sth home’.Para. 2--- Comp. 2-2, 3-2, 3, LW6 – 2--- Who is Gustave Flaubert? How much do you know about him? Why does the author say that he is a scrupulous writer?Para. 3--- Comp. 2-3, LW6 – 3, 4--- What does the example in para. 3 demonstrate? Para. 4--- Why will you be at a slight disadvantage if someone knows your name but you don’t know his?Paras. 5-10--- Distinguish the following pairs of words andsentences and explain what the author demonstrates by making all these examples.- human & humane, anxiety & eagerness, singularity & singleness,- imprison & contain, sum up, epitomize, distill - In my childhood I loved to watch trains go by. & When I was a child I loved watching trains go by.- He dies poor.& He expired in indigent circumstances. Para. 11--- Comp. 2-5, 3-7Para. 12--- Make a careful distinction among the words given in para. 12 and complete LW1.Para. 13--- What does the author conclude in the lastparagraph?e.g. The writer, at the conclusion, uses repetition and parallelism to drive home the thesis so that no one who has read this article can ever forget.1. hit the (right) nail on the head / hit it = guess right, say or do exactly the right thing, make a point or interpret a remark preciselye.g. - Jane’s father hit the nail on the head when he said that her chief fault was vanity.- The report spoke of corruption, which hit the nail squarely on the head.- You’ve hit it.[文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,另外祝您生活愉快,工作顺利,万事如意!]。

Such moments are rare, certainly, butthey come to all of us. Sometimes from a book, a sermon, a line of poetry. Sometimes from a friend ...2 That wintry afternoon in Manhattan, waiting in the little French restaurant, I was feeling frustrated and depressed. Because ofseveral miscalculations on my part, a project of considerable importance in my life had fallen through. Even the prospect of seeing a dear friend (the Old Man, as I privately and affectionately thought of him) failed to cheer me as it usually did. I sat there frowning at the checkered tablecloth, chewing the bitter cud of hindsight.3 He came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist. Hisoffices were nearby; I knew he had just left his last patient of the day. He was close to 80, but he still carried a full case load, still acted as director of a large foundation, still loved to escape to the golf course whenever he could.4 By the time he came over and sat beside me, the waiter hadbrought his invariable bottle of ale. I had not seen him for several months, but he seemed as indestructible as ever. "Well, young man,"he said without preliminary, "what's troubling you?"5 I had long since ceased to be surprised at his perceptiveness. SoI proceeded to tell him, at some length, just what was bothering me. With a kind of melancholy pride, I tried to be very honest. I blamed no one else for my disappointment, only myself. I analyzed the whole thing, all the bad judgments, the false moves. I went on for perhaps 15 minutes, while the Old Man sipped his ale in silence.6 When I finished, he put down his glass. "Come on," he said."Let's go back to my office."7 "Your office Did you forget something"8 "No," he said mildly. "I want your reaction to something. That's all."9 A chill rain was beginning to fall outside, but his office was warm and comfortable and familiar: book-lined walls, long leather couch, signed photograph of Sigmund Freud, tape recorder by the window. His secretary had gone home. We were alone.10 The Old Man took a tape from a flat cardboard box and fitted it onto the machine. "On this tape," he said, "are three shortrecordings made by three persons who came to me for help. They arenot identified, of course. I want you to listen to the recordings and see if you can pick out the two-word phrase that is the common denominator in all three cases." He smiled. "Don't look so puzzled. I have my reasons."11 What the owners of the voices on the tape had in common, it seemed to me, was unhappiness. The man who spoke first evidently had suffered some kind of business loss or failure; he berated himselffor not having worked harder, for not having looked ahead. The woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalled bitterly all the marital chances she had let go by. The third voice belonged to a mother whose teen-ageson was in trouble with the police; she blamed herself endlessly.12 The Old Man switched off the machine and leaned back in his chair. "Six times in those recordings a phrase is used that's full of subtle poison. Did you spot it No Well, perhaps that's because you used it three times yourself down in the restaurant a little while ago." He picked up the box that had held the tape and tossed it over to me. "There they are, right on the label. The two saddest words in any language."13 I looked down. Printed neatly in red ink were the words: If only.14 "You'd be amazed," said the Old Man, "if you knew how many thousands of times I've sat in this chair and listened to woeful sentences beginning with those two words. 'If only,' they say to me, 'I had done it differently — or not done it at all. If only I hadn't lost my temper, said the cruel thing, made that dishonest move, told that foolish lie. If only I had been wiser, or more unselfish, or more self-controlled.' They go on and on until I stop them. Sometimes I make them listen to the recordings you just heard. 'If only,' I say to them, 'you'd stop saying if only, we might begin to getsomewhere!'"15 The Old Man stretched out his legs. "The trouble with 'if only,'" he said, "is that it doesn't change anything. It keeps the person facing the wrong way — backward instead of forward. It wastes time.In the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.16 "Now take your own case: your plans didn't work out. WhyBecause you made certain mistakes. Well, that's all right: everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are what we learn from. But when you were telling me about them, lamenting this, regretting that, you weren't really learning from them."17 "How do you know?" I said, a bit defensively.18 "Because," said the Old Man, "you never got out of the past tense. Not once did you mention the future. And in a way — be honest, now! — you were enjoying it. There's a perverse streak in all of us that makes us like to hash over old mistakes. After all, when you relate the story of some disaster or disappointment that has happened to you, you're still the chief character, still in the center of the stage."19 I shook my head ruefully. "Well, what's the remedy?"20 "Shift the focus," said the Old Man promptly. "Change the key words and substitute a phrase that supplies lift instead of creating drag."21 "Do you have such a phrase to recommend?"22 "Certainly. Strike out the words 'if only'; substitute the phrase 'next time.'"23 "Next time"24 "That's right. I've seen it work minor miracles right here inthis room. As long as a patient keeps saying 'if only' to me, he's in trouble. But when he looks me in the eye and says 'next time,' I know he's on his way to overcoming his problem. It means he has decided to apply the lessons he has learned from his experience, however grim or painful it may have been. It means he's going to push aside the roadblock of regret, move forward, take action, resume living. Try it yourself. You'll see."25 My old friend stopped speaking. Outside, I could hear the rain whispering against the windowpane. I tried sliding one phrase out of my mind and replacing it with the other. It was fanciful, of course, but I could hear the new words lock into place with an audible click....26 The Old Man stood up a bit stiffly. "Well, class dismissed. Ithas been good to see you, young man. Always is. Now, if you will help me find a taxi, I probably should be getting on home."27 We came out of the building into the rainy night. I spotted a cruising cab and ran toward it, but another pedestrian was quicker.28 "My, my," said the Old Man slyly. "If only we had come down ten seconds sooner, we'd have caught that cab, wouldn't we?"29 I laughed and picked up the cue. "Next time I'll run faster."30 "That's it," cried the Old Man, pulling his absurd hat downaround his ears. "That's it exactly!"31 Another taxi slowed. I opened the door for him. He smiled and waved as it moved away. I never saw him again. A month later, he died of a sudden heart attack, in full stride, so to speak.32 More than a year has passed since that rainy afternoon in Manhattan. But to this day, whenever I find myself thinking "if only", I change it to "next time". Then I wait for that almost-perceptible mental click. And when I hear it, I think of the Old Man.33 A small fragment of immortality, to be sure. But it's the kind he would have wanted.Words and Phrases1.prospect n. sth. one expects to happen; a possibility or likelihood of sth.happening.

The chief purpose of narration is to interest and entertain, though, of course, it may be used to instruct and inform.Narrative Structure of the TextGordon's purpose of writing, obviously, is not just to tell what happened during his meeting with his friend, but, more importantly,to instruct. The instructive significance of the story is made clear in the first paragraph. In the first few lines Gordon has already made it clear to the reader that what he is going to do is to tell how "the sudden flash of insight that leaves you a changed person —not only changed, but changed for the better — ... Sometimes from a friend."In the first three paragraphs, which serve as a kind of introduction to the narration, we learn something about the physical circumstances for the meeting, . the time — one rainy wintryafternoon, and the place — a French restaurant in Manhattan; the author's somber mood caused by his failure to complete an important project; and also something about the Old Man — his age, his profession, and perhaps more importantly, his positive attitude towards life.The last two paragraphs form a sort of conclusion, in which what the author has learned from his friend, which is also what he wantshis readers to learn, is explicitly stated: ... whenever I findmyself thinking "if only", I change it to "next time".III. Text IIText StudyTextThe Romance of WordsWilfred Funk and Norman Lewis1 From now on we want you to look at words intently, to be inordinately curious about them and to examine them syllable by syllable, letter by letter. They are your tools of understanding and self-expression. Collect them. Keep them in condition. Learn how to handle them. Develop a fastidious, but not a fussy, choice. Work always towards good taste in their use. Train your ear for their harmonies.2 We urge you not to take words for granted just because they have been part of your daily speech since childhood. You must examine them. Turn them over and over, and see the seal and superscription on each one, as though you were handling a coin. We would like you actuallyto fall in love with words.3 Words, as you know, are not dead things. They are fairlywriggling with life. They are the exciting and mysterious tokens of our thoughts, and like human beings, they are born, come to maturity, grow old and die, and sometimes they are even re-born in a new age. A word, from its birth to its death, is a process, not a static thing.4 Words, like living trees, have roots, branches and leaves.5 Shall we stay with this analogy for a few moments, and see how perfect it is?6 The story of the root of a word is the story of its origin. The study of origins is called etymology, which in turn has its roots inthe Greek word etymon meaning "true" and the Greek ending — logia meaning "knowledge." So etymology means the true knowledge of words.7 Every word in our language is a frozen metaphor, a frozen picture. It is this poetry behind words that gives language its overwhelming power. And the more intimately we know the romance that lies within each word, the better understanding we will have of its meaning.8 For instance, on certain occasions you will probably say that you have "calculated" the cost of something or other. What does this term "calculate" really meanHere is the story. Years ago, ancient Romans had an instrument called a hodometer, or "road measurer," which corresponds to our modern taximeter. If you had hired a two-wheeled Roman vehicle to ride, say, to the Forum, you might have found in the back a tin can with a revolving cover that held a quantity of pebbles. This can was so contrived that each time the wheel turned the metal cover also revolved and a pebble dropped through a hole into the receptacle below. At the end of your trip you counted the pebbles and calculated your bill. You see the Latin word for pebble was calculus, and that's where our word "calculate" comes from.9 There are, of course, many words with much simpler histories than this. When you speak of a "surplus," for instance, you are merely saying that you have a sur (French for "over") plus (French for "more") or a sur-plus. That is, you have an "over-more" than you need.10 Should you be in a snooty mood for the nonce, and happen to lookat someone rather haughtily, your friends might call you supercilious, a word which comes from the Latin supercilium, meaning that "eyebrow" you just raised. That person you are so fond of, who has become your companion, — [cum (Latin for "with") and panis (Latin for "bread")] — is simply one who eats bread with you. That's all. Again, "trumps" in bridge is from the French "triomphe" or triumph, an old-time gameof cards. In modern cards one suit is allowed to triumph over, or to "trump" the other suits. And still again, in the army, the lieutenant is literally one who takes the place of the captain when the latteris not around. From the French lieu (we use it in "in lieu of") and tenir, "to hold." The captain, in turn, derives from the Latin word caput (head); colonel comes from columna (the "column" that he leads).11 If, by any chance, you would like to twit your friend, the Wall Street broker, just tell him that his professional title came fromthe Middle English word brocour, a broacher, or one who opens, or broaches, a cask to draw off the wine or liquor. We still employ the same word in the original sense when we say "he broached (or opened up) the subject." Finally the broacher, or broker, became a salesmanof wine. Then of other things, such as stocks and bonds.12 These are the roots of words. We next come to the branches. The branches of our language tree are those many groups of words that have grown out from one original root.13 Let's take an example. The Latin term spectare which means "to see" contains the root spec, and from this one root have sprouted more than 240 English words. We find the root hidden in such words as spectacles, those things you "see" through; in respect, the tribute you give to a person you care to "see" again; inspect, "to see" into; disrespect (dis — unwilling; re — again; spec — to see) therefore, when you treat someone with disrespect, you make it plain that you do not care to see him again; introspection, looking or seeing within; spectator, one who "sees" or watches.14 Turning to the Greek language, which has so largely enriched our own, we discover the root appearing in English as graph. This means "to write" and has been a prolific source of words for us. We have telegraph, which literally means "far writing"; phonograph, "soundwriting"; photograph, "light-writing"; stenographer, one who does "condensed writing"; a graphic description, one that is just as clear and effective as though it had been written down; mimeograph, "to write a copy or imitation."15 We have in our language a host of roots such as these. There is the Latin spirare, meaning "to blow or breathe," from which we get such English words as inspire (breathe into); expire (breathe out); perspire (breathe through); respiration (breathing again or often). And there is also our word "liable" that comes from the Latin ligare, "to bind." This fascinating root lig has branched out into oblige and obligate (to bind to do something); ligature (bandage or binding); ligament (something that ties two things together); and, with the root no longer so obvious, "league" (those nations or other organizations that are bound together); and even the word "ally" which is from ad and ligare, to bind to one another.16 These, then, are the branches. We turn now to the leaves. If the roots are the origins of words and the branches are the word families that stem out of them, the leaves of this language tree would be the words themselves and their meanings.17 Each given word, in its beginning, had, no doubt, only one meaning. But words are so full of life that they are continually sprouting the green shoots of new meanings.18 Shall we choose just one word as an instance of the amazing vitality of languageThe simple three letter word run, up to this moment of writing, has more than 90 dictionary definitions. There is the run in your stocking and the run on the bank and a run in baseball. The clock may run down but you run up a bill. Colors run. You may run a race or run。

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.
