The Essence of “American Dream”
In the United States there is a belief. It goes that people are rewarded for working, producing, and achieving. Many people believe that there is equality of opportunity. It allows anyone to become successful. This belief is illustrated by stories written by a nineteenth-century American novelist, Horatio Alger. He wrote about the “American Dream”. In his stories he described poor people. They became rich because of their hard work, honesty, and luck. The stories reinforced the idea. The idea is that all individuals, no matter how poor, were capable of becoming wealthy as long as they were honest and hard-working. For many Americans, however, Horatio Alger’s “rags-to-the-riches” stories do not represent the reality of opportunity. Many poor immigrants were able to become rich. They came to the United States in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Today, however, the poor generally do not rise to the middle and upper classes. That is why the “American Dream” is now described as a myth.

Why US is Uncle Sam?
1812年，美国和英国为了争夺殖民地而大动干戈，打 得不可开交。当时，纽约州的特罗伊城有一名叫山 姆尔· 威尔逊的商人，专门负责向美军提供牛肉。他 因此而小有名气，认识的人都称其为“山姆大叔”。 根据有关规定，政府采购部门在收购“山姆大叔”的 牛肉时，都要在包装箱盖上“US”（美国国名的缩写 为“US”或“USA”）的符号，以此作为美国财产的标 记。十分凑巧的是，“山姆大叔”（Uncle Sam）的 英文缩写也是“US”。人们看到那些经过“山姆大叔” 之手的牛肉成为了美国的财产，很自然地把这两个 “US”名称联系在一起。这样一传十，十传百，结果 “山姆大叔”渐渐地成了美国的“绰号”。1961年，

Text Analysis
This text, like Text A in unit 1, employs time words and phrases in narration. Time words serve as transitional devices by which an author switches from one event to another. The latter event may take place either before or after the former, which allows an author freedom in narration. For example, Text A in Unit 1 thus becomes a piece of narration interspersed with flashbacks(插叙). For another example, the author of this text is able to keep his narration concise by simply recounting Tony’s steps toward success, since the time phrases make it unnecessary to squeeze in too many details about how he succeeded during each step. However, we are not saying that details are unimportant. Those details vital to the story development are carefully inserted into the text. For example, why is Tony’s faulty English sentence “I mow your lawn” repeated four times? That’s because it shows Tony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.

全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程 第1册 Unit 4 Tony Trivisonno’s American Dream
Before Reading >> The American DreamAmerican Dream is the belief that everyone in the United States has the chance to achieve success and prosperity. For ordinary people, it means a happy family, an ideal job, and a nice house. For minorities and immigrants, it also includes freedom and equal rights.Before Reading >> ImmigrantsI. IntroductionListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing words.Apart from “Native Americans” —Indians, all Americans have ancestors who were immigrants. The United States has become the home of immigrants from all over the world. Some immigrants come to the United States in search of a place to practice their religion freely, while others seek political or economic protection. Still others arrive in hopes of building a better life for themselves and their families.II. First ImmigrantsThe first immigrants to America came almost from western Europe. During the first decades of the 17th century, settlers from England colonized Virginia and New England. Immigration to New England began in 1620 when English Puritans established Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts. The values of these Puritan settlers strongly influenced the culture of the American colonies and later of the United States.Before Reading >> The Great DepressionThe Great Depression is considered the most severe economic crisis in the industrialized world. It began when American stock market fell on Friday, Oct. 24, 1929, and continued the following Tuesday, known as Black Tuesday, with a greater fall. The Depression struck many other countries as well, particularly Germany, Japan, and Britain. In the early 1930s millions of people lost their jobs, and millions of businesses and banks failed. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies improved the situation, but the Great Depression did not come to an end until World War II when industrial production for the war increased.Before Reading >> MortgageI. MortgageMortgage is an agreement to have money lent, especially to buy a house or land, with the house or land belonging to the lender until the money is repaid. It enables a person to buy a house without having enough money to pay for it completely. If the borrower fails to repay theloan, the lender may force the sale of the house to recover the amount of the loan.II. How to Get a MortgageA borrower can get a mortgage from a bank, credit union, or other lender. Most lenders require the borrower to have a certain amount of money to use as a down payment. For example, if an individual wants to buy a home priced at $50,000 and the lender requires a down payment of $2,000, the individual will apply for a loan of $48,000 to pay for the difference. Payments for the loan are usually made monthly. The life of the mortgage can be 15, 20, 30, or even 40 years.Before Reading >> Warm-up Questions1.What is the American Dream in your opinion?2.In what ways can a person be considered as being successful?3.What is the key to success?4.Tell a story of a successful person.Global Reading >> Part Division of the TextGlobal Reading >> Further Understanding I. For Part 1i. Table Completionii. Matching(1 —C —II; 2 —A —III; 3 —B —I)iii. ScanningScan the text to find out descriptions of Tony’s physical appearance.Para. 1 He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin.Para. 22 He seemed to stand a little straighter. He was heavier. He had a look of confidence. Para. 27 … neatly dressedII. For Part 2 Questions and Answers1. What is the key to Tony’s success?(Tony worked very hard to create his American Dream. Besides, he was determined, self-controlled, optimistic, self-respected, honest and responsible. All these helped him become successful.)2. Compare Tony with the greatest industrialists.(Both Tony and the greatest industrialists are successful in pursuing their American Dreams. They reached their success by working hard, and by the same values and principles. The only difference was that they had different financial achievements.)Detailed ReadingI. Difficult Sentences1.“I mow your lawn,” he said. (Para. 2)How many times is the sentence —“I mow your lawn.” —repeated in the text? Why is it repeated?(The sentence is repeated four times. That’s because it shows Tony’s determination in finding a job, and his optimistic view that people would help a man who needed a job.)2.Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? (Para. 12)Paraphrase the sentence.(It is hard to refuse a person who is determined and hopeful to get a job.)3.My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story. (Para. 16)1) Paraphrase the sentence.(My wife and I were happy with what Tony had achieved, and thought that the whole thing had thus been settled.)2) Was Tony satisfied with this end?(Tony was not satisfied. He kept on working hard until he fulfilled his better dreams.)4.From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — Tony would gather and take home. (Para. 21)1) Why did Tony take home the discarded odds and ends?(Tony bought a house, which was a complete wreck. To fix and decorate it, and, above all, to save money, he took home the discarded odds and ends.)2) Translate the sentence into Chinese.(从那以后，只要我家附近有什么被人扔弃的零星杂物，坏了的屏风啦，五金器具啦，包装纸板啦，托尼都要收起来拿回家，看他这个样子真是有意思。
