Book 1 Unit 1Text A Secrets of A StudentsBrief Introduction of the UnitNo matter what country they call home or what language they speak, college students all over the world share many interests and experiences. One of the strongest is the desire to succeed in school. The test A in this unit,“Secret of A students,”argues that good study skills are actually more important to academic success than intelligence and hard work. It offers eight practical tips to help you study more effectively.1. ObjectivesStudents will be able to:(1)grasp the main idea (the essence of writing is to write what one enjoys writing)and structure of the test (narration in chronological sequence);(2) master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;(3) conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme the unit;(4) learn the way how to present the idea: from general advice to specific examples;(5)appreciate the importance of examples in exposition.2Time Allotment (6 class hours)3 Warm-up Activities(1) Based on the title, guess what the text is about.(2) Arrange the students in group of 4-6, depending on the size of the class; each group elects a chairman, a recorder and a speaker, and introduce the discussion topics;(a) What does your group like or dislike about English?(b) What are the greatest problems your group has in English study?(c)What methods do you think are good in your English study?4Text StructuresThis text is divided into three parts.The first part (1-3paragraph) tells us why A students do well in their study, even if they actually put in fewer hours than their lower-scoring classmates.The second part (4-11) shows us secrets of A students which include eight skills; concentrate, study anywhere, organize your materials, organize your time, learn how to read, take good notes, ask questions, and study together.The third part is to encourage all the students to learn and master the secrets in order to become A students.5 Cultural notes1) grading systemSchool, colleges and universities in Great Britain and the United States commonly use letter grades to indicate the quality of a student’s academic performance: A(excellent), B(good), C(average), D(below average), and F(failing). In the United States, work rated C or above is usually required of an undergraduate student to continue his/herstudies; work rated B or higher is usually required of a graduate student to continue. In percentage scales, 100 percent is the highest mark, and 70 percent (or 65 percent) is usually the lowest passing mark.2) students at universitiesA university student who has not yet taken his or her first, or “bachelor’s” degree is an undergraduate. In the United States, a first-year student at a college or university, and in a high school as well, is called a freshman, a second-year student a sophomore, and a third-year student a junior, and a fourth-year student a senior. A student is a person who has completed a university degree course while a postgraduate (or graduate in the United States) is a person doing studies that are done at a university after one has received a first degree.6 Language Study1) Word-processingA) perform: (vi/t) do (a piece of work, sth one is order to do, sth one has agreed to do) 做，履行，完成; 演出，表演Examples:a)As a top student, she performs extremely well in every lesson.b)State-owned industries more often than not perform poorly.Derivative:a) performance:(n) [sing] process or manner of performing做，履行，完成; 演出，表演·To be faithful in the performance of his duties.Differences: act and performAct: 表示“充当、扮演或演出”，主要指演员在电影、戏剧中扮演角色，主语既可为演员，也可为电影、剧本等。
