Another School Year – What for?John CiardiText AppreciationI.Text Analysis1.Theme2.Structure3.DiscussionII.Writing Devicesnguage Style & Tone2.MetaphorIII.Sentence ParaphraseText AnalysisThemeThe author tries to clarify the purpose of a university: to put the students in touch with the best civilization that human race has created.StructurePart 1 (Paras. 1—8 Part 2 (Paras.9—14):The writer describes hisencounter with one of hisstudents.):The author restates what he still believes to be the purpose of a university: putting its students in touch with the best civilizations the human race has created.Text AnalysisSentence Paraphrase•Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher.(Para. 1)•Let me tell you something that happened when I first became a teacher. It was one of the exasperating experiences in the first days of my teaching career.•The word “disaster” often means “an unexpected event, such as a very bad accident, a flood or a fire that kills a lot of people or causes a lot of damage”. Here, used informally, it means "a complete failure". The writer exaggerates the situation and uses the word humorously.Sentence Paraphrase… I was fresh out of graduate school starting my first semester at the University of Kansas City. (Para. 1)to have just come from aparticular place, to havejust had a particularexperience, e.g. studentsfresh from college… I had just completed my graduate studies and began teaching at the University of Kansas City.•Part of the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something.” (Para.1)•The sentence tells us what an unfavorable impression the student left on the writer the first day he came to class. First, he was referred to as “a beanpole with hair on top” (顶上长了毛、种豆角时用的长竿）.Also, his manners irritated the writer: instead of listening attentively and taking notes, he behaved as if he had paid to watch a show of some sort and was waiting to be entertained.•The word "beanpole“ means "a tall thin person"，Here the writer deliberately evokes a "bean pole”, a pole farmers use as a support in growing beans.••part of the student body: one of the students•the student body: all the students of the university•body: a group of people who work or act together, often for an official purpose, or who are connected in some other way, e. g.– a law-making body 工法机构–the governing body of the university 大学管理机构Sentence Paraphrase•Two weeks later we started Hamlet.(Para.1)•Obviously, the writer was teaching a course on Shakespeare. In such a course, generally five of Shakespeare's plays are studied. Hamlet generally included.Sentence Paraphrase•Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. “Look,” he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff?“ (1)•with his hands on his hips: This shows that the student wasn‘t carrying anything, and what’s more, this business-minded young man came to challenge his instructor, like a customer questioning the goods or service they have bought.Sentence Paraphrase•New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things·(2)•Though I was a new teacher, I knew I could tell him what "university w as for. But I didn't. (我虽然经验不多) 也讲得出这些道埋(但我没有讲)。

settlers moved during the 19th century to establish new farms and new cities. In films it is often shown as a place where cowboys and Native Americans fight each other, and where cowboys use guns rather than law to settle arguments. Therefore, a situation where there are no laws or controls is sometimes described as being like the Wild West.

II. Florida: the "Sunshine State" (FL)
Lesson 2 – Going Home
Florida was named by the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513. He called the region "La Florida", roughly translated as Land of the Flowers. He probably chose this name because he was impressed by the many colorful flowers. Statehood for Florida came in 1845 (27th state). Florida is one of the leading tourist states in the United States. Great stretches of sandy beaches and a warm, sunny climate make Florida a yearround vacationland. Major attractions include Disney World, Miami Beach, the Everglades National Park and the Florida Keys. Tourists may also visit historic sites that date back to the Spanish explorers.

Paraphrasing: Our colleges inevitably produce such people who can operate machines but who cannot think. We cannot help that. But we can’t say that these people have received a proper college education. It is more accurate to say that these college years have just passed them by without leaving anything on them.
