By 1941, the Nazis were arresting large numbers of Jewish people, and sending them to labour camps which quickly became death camps. Otto Frank, Anne’s father, decided to conceal his family, and the family of his business partner. The Franks went into hiding on 6 July 1942, just a few weeks after Anne started her diary, and were joined by the second family, the Van Pels a week later. For the next two years, eight people were confined to just six small rooms and could never go outside. There was rarely enough to eat, and the families lived in a state of poverty.

Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.Today young people tend to jump on the bandwagon of love with so much h aste (1) that they fail to realize the essence of true love. Given the current s tate o f a ffairs (2), we need to consider more closely the nature of love. True love has to be d istinguished (3) from the pleasures of the flesh. True love means a m eeting o f m inds (4) and it takes time to b lossom (5). People who are in true love focus more on i nner c harm (6) than on physical beauty, more on i ntimacy (7) than on closeness, more on e motion (8) than on passion, more on sharing than on a cquiring (9). As true love happens once in a lifetime, they have in their minds the i deals (10) of the relationship. They share mutual respect, a dmiration (11) and plenty of romance, so their relationship is l asting (12) and meaningful. Preserving true love requires effort, however. You should gift your object of a ffection (13) your time, company, support and friendship; you should give yourself and your beloved time and space to f orge (14) alife-long bond; and you should h onor (15) your commitments. In short, you should devote yourself to your love. Your devotion to love will, in return, bring you an o verwhelming (16) joy.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from Text A. The initial letter of each is given.What is genuine friendship? Some c lassical (1) views may help us understand the n otion (2) of friendship more clearly. Aristotle distinguishes genuine friendship from two other forms: one based on mutual u tility (3) and the other on pleasure. While the g round (4) for the latter two forms of friendship is closely related to material benefits, short-term interests or age, genuine friendship o ccurs (5) only between those who are similar in their g oodness (6). Cicero, another ancient scholar, believes that true friends’ actions and lives should leave no question a s t o (7) their honor, purity, equity and liberality. Whether or not one p ossesses (8) any superiority over the other, both must regard themselves as equals of the other and try their best to preserve the friendship. Moreover, true friends are b ound (9) together, as a friend is said to be a m irror (10) in which you may perceive and know yourself. When v irtuous (11) friends share a c ommitment (12) to the good, they can recognize each other’s m oral e xcellence (13) and fulfill their self-improvement.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.AIDS is a terrible disease. It poses a t hreat (1) to all the human beings without caring whether you are black or white, male or female, gay or straight, young or old. But what is a t r isk (2) now is not just the people i nfected (3) with the disease. Human civilization itself is being threatened. This is because the whole society tolerates both ignorance of and p rejudice (4) against HIV or AIDS. Once diagnosed (被诊断) as HIV-positive, the victims are i solated (5) or treated as outcasts. They are believed to have c ontracted (6) something evil or to have entered some alien state of being. As a result, these poor people have tos helter (7) the flickering candle of life from the cold wind of rejection by their family members. When they die of the disease, their families dare not whisper the word AIDS. They just g rieve (8) silently. Thus, our prejudice and silence have helped the disease a long (9). Now HIV marches firmly towards AIDS in more than a million American homes, littering its p athway (10) with the bodies of the young. To guard against the disease effectively, we must take this i ssue (11) seriously. People should be educated to b ring (12) those negative attitudes to an end. We should not see AIDS as something e vil (13) and the patients as alien. Instead, we should c oncern o urselves w ith (14) the prevention of the disease and render strong s upport (15) to the patients with more compassion. Only in this way can we have a better chance of winning the war against AIDS.Complete the following passage with words and phrases chosen from this unit. The initial letter of each is given.Mankind hopes for a better world to live in. T o t his e nd (1), man has to confront the inevitable conflicts that the future holds i n s tore (2). Since education plays an i ndispensable (3) role in managing those conflicts, the following four pillars of education are proposed. Learning to live together c alls f or (4) an understanding of others and awareness of the d iversity (5), similarities and interdependence of all people so that people can i mplement (6) joint projects. I n a ccordance w ith (7) the global changes brought about by scientific progress, the e mphasis (8) in learning to know should be put on c ombining (9) a broad general education and the opportunity to study a small number of subjects i n d epth (10). Associated with the issue of occupational training, learning to do aims to e quip (11) people to cope with various situations and work in teams. The fourth pillar is learning to be, which focuses on the complete development of one’s potential when going after a(n) i ndependent (12) critical way of thinking and judgment. Given the convenient a ccess (13) to knowledge in the information era, everyone longs for a way to g et the most o ut o f (14) their own specific educational environment. These four interrelated pillars can help us make the best out of education and attain our future ideals.。

Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。
美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。
在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。
2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。
这是为什么？因为“众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。
若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。
3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。
最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。
“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？”对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。
很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。
4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。
5. 请允许我解释一下。
我活跃政界二十余年。
除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。
6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。
她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。
这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。
最高奖励。
担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。
7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。
竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。

5 “Yes, yes, of course,” murmured the company, more and more agitated.
6 “Seldom has a city gained such world renown, and I am proud and happy to welcome you to Hiroshima, a town known throughout the world for its – oysters.”
Warming Up
HARRY TRUMAN: “The world will note that the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, a military base. We won the race of discovery against the Germans. We have used it in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans. We shall continue to use it until we completely destroy Japan’s power to make war.” American planes dropped one of the bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, and another on Nagasaki 3 days later. Exactly how many people in those 2 cities died from the force and heat of the blasts or later from radiation may never be known. The Radiation Effects Research Foundation in Japan estimates that between 150,000 and 246,000 died within 2 to 4 months of the bombings. Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, 6 days after the Nagasaki bombing.

Quotes
Watching and Discussion
Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.
— African proverb
Interpretation:
Sailing on rough seas, sailors are constantly faced with all kinds of hostile conditions. In their struggle against adversities, they can acquire survival skills in time. Similarly, the difficulties of life should make us better, not bitter. In the process of dealing with problems and difficulties, we can become more experienced in life. Therefore, instead of panicking or complaining in the face of adversity, we should see it as a challenge as well as a chance to improve our abilities.

She was excited because she was going to spend five weeks helping biologists from the university perform research on animal behaviour. However, she was also nervous because she would travel with the scientists to Central America, and she had never been that far from home before. She knew that this was an amazing opportunity, though, and tried not to let her nervousness take control.Rebecca was chosen from among many students who were all competing for a spot on the research team. Rebecca had the best grades and a reputation for being reliable in her work. She also demonstrated creative thinking and showed the most promise in the field of biology. All in all, she was a very talented young woman. Most of her classmates were jealous, but they all still wished her luck and eagerly anticipated many great stories after she returned home at the end of the summer.The first couple of weeks in the field, Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists. Most of her time was spent categorizing data. It was not the most glamorous work in the world, but she learned a lot and asked many questions. The rest of the research team realized how valuable Rebecca was, and she started to get her own assignments. Bit by bit, she was assigned more work and, by the end of the summer, she became a full-fledged member of the team!The team was researching the behaviour of Central American mammals, particularly the relationship between predator and prey. Rebecca spent most of her time in the forest observing a family of sloths and trying to stay as quiet as possible. After a few days of this, she discovered that a naturalist's work is often very dirty and involves many long, hot hours where not much happens. It's easy to get very bored when you spend all day watching a sleeping animal.However, Rebecca took very detailed notes and did her best to impress the scientists. At the end of the summer, the entire team had magnificent things to say about Rebecca. They were so happy with her andher work that they asked her to return the following summer! She couldn't wait to tell her friends — they were sure to be even more jealous of her good fortune!41.

Capable.C. Fearless.D. Modest.43. Rebecca _______ received more important responsibilities in order to become a full member ofthe research team.A. neverB. slowlyC. quicklyD. immediately44. Which paragraph describes the reality of scientific investigation as experienced by Rebecca?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. What is meant by the phrase, "Rebecca was limited to assisting the scientists" (Para 3, Line 1)?A. She couldn't do anything except help the scientists.B. She could do anything but help the scientists.C. She could do many things in addition to helping the scientists.D. She couldn't do anything but observe the scientists.。

Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (that it would be ideal if we can strike a balance between the Chinese andthe Western learning styles) and structure of the text(introduction of topic by an anecdote elaboration by comparison and contrast-conclusion by a suggestion);2.appreciate the difference between comparison and contrast, as well as different ways tocompare and contrast(point-by-point method or one-side-at-a-time method);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of theunit.1.T asks Ss the following questions. The first is based on the song Teach Your Children:(5 minutes)—According to the song, who should teach whom? Is learning a one-way street? (Parents and children should teach each other and learn from each other. Learning is a two-way interaction.)—Can you guess what the theme of this unit, ways of learning, refers to? (Different people have different learning styles.)2.Ss listen to the following quotation from《文汇读书报》(2001年12月1日第一版，“自自自自自’自’ 自自 ‘自自’? ”) , take some notes, and then T will invite some Ss to summarize in English how Chen Yuhua’s parents handle her education.（possible summary: They let her learn independently and seek out knowledge actively. They may help during the process, but don’t expect them to spoon-feed her with knowledge.）(15 minutes)1.Skimming (15 minutes)1)Ss skim Paras 1-5 and be ready to answer the following questions:—Where and when did the incident take place?

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

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

Cultural Notes1. the Internet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was origi-nally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, e.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. The Internet is saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers.Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet.Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends.2.NBC (the National Broadcasting Company): the first of the original three US nationalbroadcasting companies. It was established in 1926 by Radio Corporation of America as two groups of radio stations. The first NBC television channel opened in 1940. The company is now owned by General Electric. Its main offices are at Rockefeller Center in New York.3.PBS (the Public Broadcasting Service): (in the US) a television system that broadcasts programsto an association of local stations which use no television advertisements and do not make a profit. It was established by the Public Broadcasting Act and is supported by money from the US Government, large companies and the public. PBS is known for the high quality of its pro-grams.4. ABC (the American Broadcasting Company): one of the original three major television networksin America. It began in 1943 as the Blue Network of six radio stations. ABC is now owned by the Walt Disney Company .Ⅳ. Language Study...Unit 5Overcoming ObstaclesⅠ.

(near death; loss of consciousness after the car accident; slow and painful recovery; despair)—How is the song related to the theme of the unit? (To get over despair after injury is also a form of overcoming obstacles.)2.Do you know these proverbs? (13 minutes)1)T dictates the following proverbs to Ss:—Where there’s a will, there’s a way. (自自自自自自)—Rome wasn’t built in a day. (自自自自自自自/自自自自自自自)—God helps those who help themselves. (自自自自自自自/自自自自自,)—You shall reap, what you sow.

As we will find out in this text, dreaming is equally important.(2 minutes)1.Text organization (17 minutes)1)T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 1, so that they know the textconsists of four parts.2)Ss scan the first sentence of Paras 1-6, and get ready to answer the following questions:—Which first sentence switches from past tense to past perfect tense? (the first sentence of Para 3) ( T may as well tell Ss this: a story is usually narrated in the simple past tense.When a past event is recalled, the past perfect tense will be used as a signal. Afterwards the flashback is also narrated in the simple past tense.)—Which first sentence shows that the flashback is over and the narration returns to the National Junior Olympics? (the first sentence of Para 6)—By now, do you know how to divide the text into four parts?

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。
