A teacher can make whatever changes he thinks necessary.Background Information:Helen Keller‟s profileHelen Keller was born in 1880 and died in 1968. She was one of the most famous person in the world. While she was still at college she wrote …The Story of My Life‟. This was very successful. In 1932 she became a vice-president of the Royal National Institute for the Blind in the United Kingdom.Helen Keller was less than two years old when she came down with a fever. It struck dramatically and left her unconscious. The fever went just as suddenly. But she was blinded and, very soon after, deaf. As she grew up, she managed to learn to do tiny errands, but she also realized that she was miss ing something. "Sometimes," she later wrote, “I stoodbetween two persons who were conversing and touched their lips. I could not understand, and was vexed. I moved my lips and gesticulated frantically without result. This made me so angry at times that I kicked and screamed until I was exhausted.” She was a wild child. That…s Helen Keller，a greatest writer in the world.Warming-up :1. What do you know about Helen Keller?2. Watch a video about Helen Keller, so student can be familiar with her.3.

Text LearningCyber love①Thanks to the late 20th century technology, Maria of Denmark and Martijin of Holland meton a chatline. For months they've talked and sent letters to each other?with the help of their computers as they?found themselves falling head over heels in love. It was then that?they decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world. It was not easy to arrange as the young man and his lady were separated by 700 very real kilometers, but the date was a success andMaria and Martijn have been living together happily?ever since. They've created a home pageto let the world know how they've found?happiness?via?the Internet and introduce couples who've met?under similar circumstances.②Throughout history men and women had used? a variety of means?to find each other.Internet romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural wayfor?the 90's?to meet?potential mates.③Romances formed on the internet?follow a characteristic script.?The development of emotional intimacy is a long process, sometimes taking several months. "Love at?first byte" is rare although there are examples. (1)The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chatrooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend.?Hearts open and an avalanche of e-mailverses and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romanticinclinations resist? (2)When you reach for the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach to look in the in-box for new mail - there's just no way to escape the fact - love has arrived.④How does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance? Perhaps one significantdifference is that communication plays such a large part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. (3)While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the internet we polish our intellect, imagination and personality.?(4)In essence, the sequence is reversed - first we show our inner beauty and only after it had won victory does the veil fall off the physicalvehicle of that personality at the time of that first meeting in person.⑤It is a popular topic in cyberspace to debate whether or not true love can develop merelyon an?intellectual level（智力方面，精神方面，即"精神恋爱"）, without physical attraction or the?familiarity?of the other's appearance? (5)To put it another way: is the physical appearance of the man or woman play a part in the relationship if, through the exchange ofthoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?本部分重点及难点：1. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed byincreasingly?self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive eachother as a true friend.不管是通过电子邮件还是聊天室，最初是简单的交流，然后是越来越多自我表露的话题，过了一段时间之后，两个陌生人把彼此当成了真正的朋友。

Unit 5 Keep your Dreams AliveA Famous QuoteYou are never too old to set another goal to dream a new dream.-- C. S. LewisClive Staples Lewis (1898-1963), Irish-born British scholar, writer and lay theologian. He was an established literary figure whose impact is increasingly recognized by scholars and teachers.Text A Life Is DifficultPre-reading Questions:1. Do you believe that life is difficult? What are some of the difficulties that you haveencountered in your life?2. What suggestions did you get from your parents or friends when you met withdifficulties in your life?Life is difficult.This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult – once we truly understand and accept it – then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, that fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most people do not fully see this truth that life is difficult.Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race, or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life’s problems. Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems.What makes life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration of grief, sadness, loneliness, guilt, regret, anger, fear, anxiety, anguish, or despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we can call them problems. And since life poses and endless of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge and encourage the human capacity to resolve problems, just as in school we deliberately set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn no to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.Text B Begin AgainPre-reading Question:1. If your friends turn to you for advice when they face life’s challenges, what will yousay to them?2. What advice do you expect the author will give to people in difficulties?To begin again means that you won’t g ive up.To begin again means you’re trying.You can either start over and live your life.Or spend the rest of your life slowly dying.It is never the falling that makes us fail.It is never the pain or the crying.You can never fail in life, my friend,Unless you give up trying.– Bob PerksIt seems lately that more and more of my friends are facing some seemingly insurmountable challenges in their lives. A few have lost their jobs and some have failed marriages. All too many have failed marriages. All too many have health issues or are battling cancer.I don’t know if it is desperation that causes them to turn to me for advice or whether they have come to value our friendship. But it is difficult, to say the least, to offer words of hope when all they feel is hopelessness. They expect answers, some magic waving of a wand, or a roadmap to get them back on their feet again.I have often struggled with what to say. Mostly because I have faced many of the same challenges in my own life, I remember how empty I felt after someone cheerfully offered words like, “Keep your chin up!” “Things will get better!” “Hang in there!” “It’s always darkest…,” etc.Yes, even those were quick to quote the Bible to me found me quite unreceptive at the time.Now, as an inspiration writer, being thought of as a resource of hope or a good (or bad) example of what to do in life, I have even more people contacting me.So, what do I say?“What can I do, Bob?” I’ve lost my job. What do you suggest?”“Begin again.”“He walked out on me.My whole world just ended. What should I do?”“Begin again.”“Bob, I know both your on and your wife have cancer. I found out my wife does, too. What did you tell them?”“Begin again.”It almost sounds too simple. I imagine in the darkest hours of one’s l ife, those works would seem useless or uncaring. But it is indeed the answer.All life challenges bring about and ending –and the chance for a beginning. A job prevents and opportunity to start over somewhere else and maybe even in another career.A failed marriage does not mean you are through loving or being loved. It means there are others just like you needing to be loved. Find them.A life-threatening disease does not mean giving up. It means starting a new path to recovery and discovering within yourself the ability to fight back and win.And if you are a person of faith, even death does not mean it’s over. It means, “to begin again.”。

II. Text LearningThe Importance of Money in Life1 What were you taught about money as you were growing up? Something like "moneydoesn't grow on trees", or "money is the root of all evil", or maybe "all richpeople are greedy"?2 Well, how do you expect to become a success financially if you believe thesethings? You attract into your life what you are thinking about and what youbelieve. If you think there is not enough money in this world for everyone youwill never have enough money. That is called the Law of Attraction（吸引法则）.3 First of all, believing that "money doesn't grow on trees" is an example ofwhat's called lack or scarcity programming. Our parents taught us that there wasnever enough money to go around（分配）, and that it was not readily available orabundant. But in truth, the universe is very abundant, and thereis lots ofmoney to go around for everyone. Just think what you could do if you have asmuch money as your heart desires What wonderful things you could do with it:travel to the countries you have always dreamt of, buy a house you are evenscared to think about, attend meditation classes so you could spiritually grow,donate money to your favorite charity, spend more quality time （黄金时光）with yourfamily, (1)and the list goes on.4 The key is to start thinking that you deserve the money and that there is lotsof it available for you, and then you can start attracting it into your life.That's abundance thinking（充裕想法）, which is the opposite of lack or scarcitythinking. (2)When you start thinking about the abundance the Law of Attractionwill do the rest. （承上启下句）You do not need to know how it is going to happen. Justmake the first step, first thought. Starting is already winning.5 And what about thinking that "money is the root of all evil"? Can you reallyexpect to become a success if you believe that money is the root of all evil?(3)Unless you have a desire to be an evil person, your subconscious will not letyou have money if you believe deep down that it is the root of all evil.6 By the way, that quote is taken out of context in the first place. It wasoriginally stated as "the love of money is the root of all evil".(4)So it hasnothing to do with the money itself.（承上句）本部分重点及难点：显示重难点解析1. …the list goes on. 相当于there are many other thing that can be put on thelist.意为"还有很多其它的事情（你可以做）"2. When you start thinking about the abundance the Lawof Attraction will do the rest.你开始想着充裕原则的时候，吸引力法则负责剩余的事情。

Text A Life Is Difficult
然而，正是在遇到问题并解决问题的整个过程中，生活才具有意义。问题是 区分成功与失败的关键因素。问题赋予我们勇气和智慧；实际上，问题激发 了我们的勇气和智慧。我们想促进人类精神的发展，就要发出挑战、鼓励人 们去解决问题，就像在学校里那样，我们有意给孩子设置问题，让他们去解 决。正如本杰明·富兰克林说的那样，“给我们带来伤害的，也会给我们以启 示。”恰恰出于这个原因，明智的人们学会了不畏惧困难，而是迎接困难， 迎接困难带来的痛苦。
Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems.（主题句） Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems. With total discipline we can solve all problems. 自制力是必需的基本工具，它用来解决我们生活中出现的各种问题。没有自制 力，我们什么问题都解决不了。具备某种自制力可以解决某些问题，具备了所 有的自制力，就可以解决所有的问题了。
Text A Life Is Difficult
生活的艰辛之处在于，面对困难、解决困难的过程是痛苦的。根据其性质， 困难会使我们感到悲痛、伤心、孤独、内疚、悔恨、愤怒、恐惧、苦恼或者 失望。这些都是让人不舒服的感觉，非常不舒服，就如同身体上的疼痛是一 样的，有时候甚至等同于身体上最大的疼痛。实际上，正是由于痛苦的原因， 事件或者冲突给我们带来了所有的问题。生活是艰辛的，因为它给我们带来 了无尽的问题，生活不仅有快乐，也充满了痛苦。

Text LearningWork Is a Blessing① I grew up in Lakeland, Louisiana, one of 12 children. We all lived on myparents' subsistence farm（自给自足的农场）. We grew cotton, sugar cane, corn, hogs, chickens and had a large garden, but it didn't bring in much cash. So whenI was 12, I got a part-time job on a dairy farm down the road, helping to milk cows. We milked 65 cows at 5 in the morning, and again at 2 in the afternoon, seven daysa week.② In the kitchen one Saturday before daylight, I remember complaining to myfather and grandfather about having to go milk those cows. My father said, "Ya know, boy, to work is a blessing."③ I looked at those two men who'd worked harder than I ever had - my father eking out a living on that farm, and my grandfather farming and working as a carpenter during the Depression. (1)I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sank in.（承上、总结的话）④ Going to college was a rare privilege for a kid from Lakeland, Louisiana. My father told me if I picked something to study that I liked doing, I'd always look forward to my work. But he also added, "Even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all." I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined the ROTC（美）后备军官训练队，预备役军官训练营（Reserve Officers' Training Corps） program tohelp pay for college.(2)And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years, three months and three days.本部分重点及难点：1. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sank in. 我有种感觉--父亲跟我说了一些确实重要的东西，但许多年后我才真正理解。

Text LearningLife Is Difficult①Life Is Difficult.②This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly understand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.（承上句）③Most people do not fully see this truth that life is difficult.④Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. (1)They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. I know about this moaning because I have done my share.（承上、总结的句子）本部分重点及难点：1. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. visit sth. on / upon sb./sth. （古）inflict（造成，使遭受）punishment on sb./sth. 对某人/某物进行惩罚visit the sins of the parents upon their children相当于make the children suffer for their parent's failings 使子女因父母之过错而受惩罚⑤Life is a series of problems. Do we want to moan about them or solve them? Do we want to teach our children to solve them?⑥ Discipline is the basic set of tools we require to solve life's problems.（主题句）Without discipline we can solve nothing. With only some discipline we can solve only some problems.With total discipline we can solve all problems.⑦What make life difficult is that the process of confronting and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending upon their nature, evoke in us frustration of grief, sadness, loneliness, guilt, regret, anger, fear, anxiety, anguish, despair. These are uncomfortable feelings, often very uncomfortable, often as painful as any kind of physical pain, sometimes equaling the very worst kind of physical pain. (2)Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems.（承上启下句）(3)And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.本部分重点及难点：2. Indeed, it is because of the pain that events or conflicts engender in us all that we call them problems. 强调句。

3. And since life poses an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.pose an endless series of problemspose threatpose dangerpose for a picture⑧(4)Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure. Problems call forth our courage and our wisdom; indeed, they create our courage and our wisdom. It is only because of problems that we grow mentally and spiritually. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we challenge and encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we deliberately set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn. （承上启下句）As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.本部分重点及难点：4. (Paragraph 8) Yet it is in this whole process of meeting and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure.
