Unit 1 Myths and LegendsTeaching Aims:In this unit students are required to :1) get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit and to know more about English culture;2) do some preparation activities such as discussion, group work, etc. to practice their spoken skill and communicative skills;3) grasp some new words and try to use these words which help them to enrich their vocabulary;4)read the in-class reading passage in a limited time and grasp some expressions and grammatical points in the in-class reading passage to improve their reading comprehension;5) do some post-reading exercises and some after-class reading to practice what they have got to know in class to improve their English comprehensive skills.;6) translate some typical sentences into Chinese or English by using some expressions learned in the reading passages to acquire some translating skills and better their translating abilities.I. Useful InformationIn order to understand the world around them, virtually all early cultures developedmyths that explained various aspects of life and mysteries of nature. Animals, plants and people---both imaginary and real---were often attributed with special powers that gave thema spiritual significance. In ancient China, for example, the phoenix(凤凰),the dragon, theunicorn(独角兽) and the tortoise were regarded as sacred creatures that symbolized various characteristics including wisdom, longevity, indestructibility(不可毁灭)and power. The ancient Greeks developed a complex system of myths related to hundreds of gods and goddesses that were said to control the fate of all men and women. Whether myths became part of an established religion or not, they were always incorporated into stories that could be told and retold as captivating explanations of natural and supernatural events. And as such they became cultural treasures that educated and united people around common beliefs.Although the line between myth and legend is often blurred(变得模糊),myths tend to focus on superhuman animals and gods, whereas legends glorify a hero or a great event and usually contain an element of truth. Like myths, legends became popular stories handed down from generation to generationIn all cultures, story-telling was a way of transmitting beliefs, customs, and moralprinciples to people of all ages who cold neither read nor write. Story-telling was also an important form of entertainment at the level of the family and the village. With the advent (appearance/coming) of radio and television, however, story-telling have all but disappeared.Instead of gathering around an individual capable of remembering all kinds of wonderful and amusing tales, people now prefer to sit in front of a TV set.It is mainly in their written form that we can still enjoy traditional myths, legends, fablesand folktales. In reading stories from different cultures, we can discover some of the universal (普遍的)characteristics of humankind. The trickster(骗子,恶作剧的精灵), for instance, is a clever, deceitful and greedy individual who inspires admiration but who must be taught a lesson.In some cultures he appears as a monkey, in others a tortoise or a raven(渡鸦)。

It is produced in the United States by Sesame Workshop, and broadcasted on November 10, 1969 on the National Educational Television network. Because of its positive influence, Sesame Street has earned the distinction of being the foremost and most highly regarded educator of children in the world. No television series has matched its level of recognition and success on the international stage. The original series has been televised in 120 countries, and more than 20 international versions have been produced. In its long and illustrious history, Sesame Street has received more Emmy A wards than any other program, and has captured the allegiance, esteem, and affection of millions of viewers worldwide.Nicholas CopernicusCopernicus was a Polish astronomer and mathematician who held the view that the Earth and the other planets all travel in circles around the Sun.“Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe. All this is suggested by the systematic procession of events and the harmony of the whole Universe, if only we face the facts, as they say, …with both eyes open‟.”A Brief Introduction of Nicolas CopernicusBorn on Feb. 19, 1473, in Thorn (Torun), Poland, Copernicus is said to be the founder of modern astronomy. The son of a prosperous merchant, he was raised after his father’s death by a maternal uncle. At the age of nineteen, he was sent to the University of Krakow to study mathematics, optics (光学) and canon (基督教教规) law in Italy. This experience stimulatedyoung Copernicus to study further liberal arts at Bologna (1496-1501), medicine at Padua, and law at the University of Ferrara, from which he emerged in 1503 with the doctorate in canon law. Shortly afterward, he returned to Poland and eventually settled permanently at the cathedral near his hometown. Through his uncle’s influence he had been elected canon of the cathedral. Copernicus not only faithfully performed his duties, but also turned his attention to astronomy. In 1530, Copernicus completed and gave to the world his great work De Revolutionibus, which asserted that the earth rotated on its axis (地轴线) once daily and traveled around the sun once yearly. Not welcomed by the church, it was not published until 1543. Copernicus died on May 24, 1543.The Copernican RevolutionWe noted earlier that the three assumptions held back the development of modern astronomy from the time of Aristotle until the 16th and 17th centuries. Copernicus challenged Assumption 1, but not Assumption 2. We may also note that the Copernican model implicitly questions the third tenet that the objects in the sky were made of special unchanging stuff. Since the Earth is just one of the planets, there will eventually be a natural progression to the idea that the planets are made from the same stuff that we find on the Earth.Häagen-Dazs and Reuben MattusReuben Mattus, a young entrepreneur with a passion for quality and a vision for creating the finest ice cream, worked in his mother’s ice cream business selling fruit ice and ice cream pops from a horse drawn wagon in the bustling streets of the Bronx, New Y ork. To produce the finest ice cream available, he insisted on using only the finest, purest ingredients.The family business grew and prospered throughout the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and by 1961 Mr. Mattus decided to form a new company dedicated to his ice cream vision. He called his new brand Häagen-Dazs, to convey an aura of the old-world traditions and craftsmanship to which he remained dedicated.Häagen-Dazs started out with only three flavors: vanilla, chocolate and coffee. But Mr. Mattus’passion for quality soon took him to the four corners of the globe. The Häagen-Dazs brand quickly developed a loyal following. Then in 1976, Mr. Mattus’daughter Doris opened the first Häagen-Dazs shop. It was an immediate success, and its popularity led to a rapid expansion of Häagen-Dazs shops across the country.Edward JennerEdward Jenner was an English country doctor who pioneered vaccination. Edward Jenner was born on May 17, 1749 in the small village of Berkeley in Gloucestershire. From an early age Jenner was a keen observer of nature and after nine years as a surgeon’s apprentice he went to St. George’s Hospital, London to study anatomy (解剖学) and surgery under the prominent surgeon Hohn Hunter. After completing his studies, he returned to his hometown Berkeley to set up a medical practice where he stayed until his death in 1823. In the eighteenth century, before Jenner, smallpox was a killer disease, as widespread as cancer or heart diseases in the twentieth century but with the difference that the majority of its victims were infants and young children. Edward Jenner pioneered vaccination. Jenner’s discovery in 1796 that vaccination with cowpox gave immunity (免疫) to smallpox, was an immense medical breakthrough and has saved countless lives. In 1980, as a result of Jenner’s discovery, the World Health Assembly officially declared “the world and its peoples”free from endemic smallpox.Step III. Content analysis questions1. What were the author and his children playing that night?“What Doesn’t Belong?” based on the Sesame Street game.2.What was the question the father put to his children?What doesn’t belong, an orange, a tomato or a strawberry?3.What was the oldest child’s answer to the question? And what did the father think of his answer?The oldest child’s answer was that tomato doesn’t belong because it was not fruit and his father thought it was a right answer.4.What answers did his 4-year-old and his 6-year-old children give?His 4-year-old chose strawberry because the other two were round and strawberry wasn’t, while the 6-year-old believed that orange didn’t belong because the other two were red.5.Why did the 9-year-old and the middle one add to the answers?Because they did not want to be outdone by their siblings.Group DiscussionTopics: Work with your partner to discuss “How did Sarah Morris change the author and what can you learn from the story of Sarah Morris?”Step IV. Language points重点语言点:1. shift:1. n.1) a change in the way people think about something, in the way something is done,etc.For most city dwellers, it is a welcome shift from town to country life.2) if workers in a factory, hospital, etc. work shifts, they work for a particular period of time during the day or night, and are then replaced by others, so that there are always people workingHe is on the night shift this week2. v. move from one place or position to another, or make something do thisDon’t try to shift the responsibility onto me.People gradually shift from the country to the town.Collocations:shift the blame / responsibility onto (somebody)把责任推给(某人)shift one’s ground改变立场或方法shift for oneself自谋生计2.deliver: v.1) take (letters, parcels, goods, etc.) to the places or peoplethey are addressedThe parcel was delivered to my door.A postman is a man employed to deliver letters and parcels.2) make a speech, etc. to a lot of peopleShe delivered a talk on philosophy to the society.3) do or provide the things you are expected to, because you are responsible for them or they are part of your jobIf you can’t deliver improved sales figure, you’ll be fired.Do you think the government will deliver the promised tax cuts?3. argue: v.1) disagree with someone in words, often in an angry wayWe argued with the waiter about the price of the meal.2) state or give clear reasons that sth. is true, shouldbe done, etc.He was arguing that poverty may be a blessing.It could be argued that sending men to the moon is a waste of money.3) persuade sb. to do or not to do somethingThey argued him into withdrawing his complaint.Pattern:argue with sb. about / over sth.argue for / againstargue sb. into / out of doing sth.4. outdo:v. be better or more successful than someone else at doing sth.She determined to outdo her brother at work and games.Not to be outdone, he tried again.out 通常放在名词的前面表示“外面”或“外部”的意思。

Introductory Remarks
When we try to tackle a problem, we may sometimes stick to the usual way of thinking about it, thus often making it difficult to find a solution. We need to remember, therefore, that it is important to learn to look at things in fresh ways and use unconventional creative means in trying to solve problems. James Sollisch, author of the present essay, learned about the importance of creative thinking while playing the What Doesn’t Belong game with his children. In the essay, with examples ranging from his own children to some of the world’s greatest scientists, he helps explain the nature of creative thinking and calls on the reader to think creatively.
1. Sesame Street is an educational American children’s
television series designed for preschoolers, and is recognized as a pioneer of the contemporary standard which combines education and entertainment in children’s television shows. It is produced in the United States by Sesame Workshop, and broadcasted on November 10, 1969 on the National Educational Television network. . . .
