(1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit: (2 minutes)1)—2)do the pre-reading task;3)preview Text A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisWhen we learn a foreign language, we must also learn the culture of the speakers of that langu-age. T ext A in this unit is a good case in point. Readers need some basic knowledge of Christianity. Some terms in this text are markedly Christian, like “Methodist Minister”, “Bible”, “Quaker”. Others refer to characters or places from Biblical stories, such as Moses who led the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt, or Bethlehem, a holy city for Christians.'The author tells three stories about the Underground Railroad and the early Black civil rights movement. The three stories are chosen because they are representative of all participants in this movement: John Parker is a freed slave who later turned into a courageous “conductor”; Levi Coffin is a brave white “conductor”; Josiah Henson is a slave who struggled his way to freedom with the help of the Underground Railroad.We learn about the name of Josiah Henson at the beginning of the text, yet his full story is not told until the last part. In this way the author achieves coherence of text.Direct speech is more convincing than indirect speech, especially when it comes to expressing personal beliefs. For example, the text quotes Levi Coffin saying “The Bible, in bidding us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, said nothing about color.”On other occasions, direct speech makes a story more vivid. For example, in the John Parker story, characters spoke short sentences to stress the urgency of the situation. For another example, Josiah Henson threw himself to the ground and shouted to astonished onlookers: “Oh, no! Don’t you know I’m free!” His joy affects us all.!Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Freedom and rights: Freedom of the individual is considered one of the essential features of westerncivilization, which is itself sometimes called the Free World. This freedom is often expressed in terms of rights to do certain things or to be treated in a particular way. When a person does something that others think strange, British and American people will often say, “It’s a free country,” meaning that although they disagree with the choice they recognize the other person’s right to make it.A mericans sometimes call the US the “land of the free”, a phrase taken from its national anthem.British people have always strongly defended their freedom. Fear that they will lose the freedom to decide their own future is behind many people’s lack of enth usiasm for European unity.In Britain and the US the most basic rights include freedom of expression ( = freedom to say or write anything), freedom of choice (=freedom to make decisions about your own life) and freedom of worship (=freedom to practice any religion).2. the civil rights movement: (in the US) the national campaign by African-Americans for equal rights,especially in the 1950s and 1960s. The campaign included boycotts ( = refusals to buy particular products), the actions of freedom riders, and in 1963 a march to Washington led by Martin Luther King.It succeeded in causing the introduction of bussing and affirmative action. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were also introduced as a result of the civil rights movement, which has helped to change the attitudes of many white Americans.]3. the Civil Rights Act of 1964: the US law that forced the southern states to allow African-Americans toenter restaurants, hotels, etc. which had been reserved for white people only and to end the practice of having separate areas for black and white people in theatres, train stations, buses, etc. The act was mostly the result of the civil rights movement and was strongly supported by President Lyndon Johnson. It was followed the next year by the Voting Rights Act.4. Uncle Tom’s Cabin: a novel (1852) by the US writer Harriet Beecher Stowe which increased support forthe movement to free slaves. It is about a kind slave called T om who is badly treated and finally killed by Simon Legr ee. T om’s daughter Little Eva also dies, and another well-known character in the novel is the slave child Topsy. The name Uncle Tom is sometimes used as an insult to describe an African-American who has too much respect for white people.5. the Underground Railroad: a secret system used in the US before the Civil War for helping thousandsof slaves to escape to the free northern states or Canada. The slaves were called “passengers”, the people who helped them were “conductors”, and the slaves hid in “stations” (safe houses) along the way. 6. Slavery: Slavery played a particularly important role in the history of the US.The first slaves were taken to North America from Africa by the Dutch in 1619. By the time of the American Revolution (1775) there were 500 000 slaves, mostly in the South. After the Revolution the northern states made slavery illegal but the South needed cheap labor for the cotton plantations.Gradually the South’s economy became dependent on slaves and by 1860, the year before the Civil War, there were about 4 million slaves.~Conflict between the North and the South increased, and it became clear that supporters and opponents of slavery could not continue to be part of the same country. In 1861 the slave states left the US and formed their own government. This was the beginning of the Civil War.After the North won the Civil War and brought the southern states back into the US, slavery was ended.But little changed for former slaves. Some moved to the North but there were not enough jobs there and many suffered prejudice from Whites. Those that stayed in the South often worked on the plantations where they had been slaves. They were paid for their work, but had to buy food and clothes. Many had to stay there trying to pay off debts which became larger each year.7. Bill Clinton (1946- ): the 42nd US President, elected in 1992 and 1996. He is a Democrat and waspreviously the governor of Arkansas. The US economy improved under Clinton, and the North American Free Trade Agreement has been signed. His successes in helping to achieve world peaceinclude the Camp David Agreement for the Near East and the Dayton Agreement to end the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. His wife Hillary (1947- ) tried without success to improve the US health system. In 1998 President Clinton admitted that he had had a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky, a junior member of the White House staff, after denying it earlier. He was impeached for lying under oath and obstructing justice, but the Senate judged him not guilty.8.Quaker: any member of the Society of Friends, a religious group established in England in the 1650s byGeorge Fox. They were originally called Quakers because members were thought to “quake” or shake with religious excitement. Quakers worship Christ without any formal ceremony or fixed beliefs, and their meetings often involve silent thought or prayer. They are strongly opposed to violence and war, and are active in education and charity work.9.Grand Central Terminal: the best-known railway station in the US. It is on East 42nd Street in New York andwas completed in 1913 in the American Beaux Arts style. The main area is very large, and the trains enter and leave the station on 123 tracks, arranged on two levels. The station is often very crowded: You ca n’t move in there—it’s like Grand Central Station!10.~11.Methodist: a member of the Methodist Church, the largest of the Protestant Free Churches in Britain andthe US. It was established in 1739 by John Wesley as part of the Church of England but it became separate from it in 1795. It was introduced into the US in the 18th century and today has over 50 million members around the world. It emphasized the importance of moral issues, both personal and social.12.t he Deep South: the most southern states of the south-east US: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,Mississippi, South Carolina and eastern Texas. They are among the states that once had slaves and left the Union during the Civil War. They still have racial problems and the people there are mostly conservative in their politics and religion.Ⅳ.

summaryThere are very few people who can say their actions changed the face of their nation ,but Rosa Parks is one of those individuals . Let’s look back what she had contributed to her nation and changed it.One day in the 1950’s in the American South ,when a white person got on the bus ,there left no seats for him ,so the driver demanded that all four black people including Rosa Parks leave their seats so the white person would not have to sit next to them . The three other blacks got up but due to the tiredness of accepting unequal treatment Mrs.Parks refused and was arrest .And this act of disobedience protest eventually led to legal changes in minority rights ,ushering in a new era of the civil rights movement in the United States. The movement that all blacks in the city refused to ride on the bus on the day of Mrs. Parks ‘ trail played an important role to obligate the Supreme Court of the United States made racial separation illegal on city bus .Though always uneasy with her fame ,she still helped people ,especially young people ,to make useful lives for themselves .And in 1987 ,she founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development to improve the lives of black children .In 1996,Present Clinton honored her with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.And in 1999,she received the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor .Rosa Parks died on October24,2005,her body lay in honor in the United States Capitol building in Washington . And we all show our respect to this women who meant a lot to the nation .。
