Before Reading >> English Song –That’s What Friends Are ForI. Introductory RemarksJust what are friends for? To have fun with, of course, to share in the good times. Yet most people would say that a real friend is more than just a fair-weather friend. A fair-weather friend?A fair-weather friend is someone who's happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives, while a good friend, a true friend, is one who'll stand by you when you find yourself in difficulties. Th at’s certainly what the song is about. As they tell each other … So let's listen to them as they sing the song.II. That’s What Friends Are ForListen to the song and fill in the blanks with what you hear.And I never thought I’d feel this wayAnd as far as I’m concernedI’m glad I got the chance to sayThat I do believe I love youAnd if I should ever go awayWell, then close your eyes and tryTo feel the way we do todayAnd then if you can rememberKeep smiling, keep shiningKnowing you can always count on meFor sure, that’s what friends are forFor good times and bad timesI’ll be on your side forevermoreThat’s what friends are forWell, you came and opened meAnd now there’s so much more I seeAnd so by the way, I thank youAnd then for the times we’re apartWell, then close your eyes and knowThese words are coming from my heartAnd then if you can rememberKeep smiling, keep shiningKnowing you can always count on meFor sure, that’s what friends are forIn good times and bad timesI’ll b e on your side forevermoreThat’s what friends are forKeep smiling, keep shiningKnowing you can always count on meFor sure, that’s what friends are forFor good times and bad timesI’ll be on your side forevermoreThat’s what friends are forKeep smiling, keep shiningKnowing you can always count on meFor sure, that’s w hat friends are forFor good times and for bad timesI’ll be on your side forevermoreThat’s what friends are forCount on me, for sureCount on me, for sureCount on me, for sureT hat’s what friends are forKeep smiling, keep shiningIII. Questions and Answers1. What is a fair-weather friend?(One who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives.)2. Do you know anything about the singers?(Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight.Dionne WarwickDionne Warwick was a pop and R&B (Rhythm and Blues, 节奏蓝调音乐) music star of the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s she worked jointly with Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder on the Grammy-winning single That’s What Friends Are For, a fundraiser for AIDS victims. Elton JohnElton John (1947~), an English rock composer, singer and pianist, is one of rock music’s durable (持久的) performers. He played the piano by ear from age four, and studied at the Royal Academy of Music at 11. The top pop star of the 1970s, his performance was featured by wild eyeglasses and outlandish (奇异的) costumes on the stage. Despite health problems in 1993 he continues to perform live across the world, mostly on the softer side these days.His latest success includes the best-selling sound track for The Lion King (1994), a Disney film. And the recording of Candle in the Wind 97, sung at the funeral of Princess Diana, became the largest-selling single in history within a month of its release (发行). He was knighted (授予爵士称号) in 1998.)3. According to the song, what are friends for?(For both good times and bad times.)4. How can friend and friendship be defined?(Friend Definition A:A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff (谷壳)and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift (筛，过滤) them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.— George Eliot (1819~1880), English novelist Friend Definition B:A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803~1882),American poet and philosopher Friend Definition C:A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.— Doug Larson (1902~1981),English middle-distance runner Friendship Definition A:True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.— Charles Caleb Colton (1780~1832),English author and clergyman Friendship Definition B:Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul (天气恶劣的).— Ambrose Bierce (1842~1914),American author and journalist,from The Devil’s Dictionary Friendship Definition C:Friendship is a treasure that always helps us overcome any kind of difficulty. Friendship is a comfort which always understands worries and emotions. Friendship is a blessing because it teaches the way to live.— Unknown) 5. Can you give some examples of great friendship?(Marx and EngelsMarx valued Engels’ friendship so highly that he once said he loved and admired his friend very much. Engels had been aiding Marx who suffered greatly from bitter poverty. Were it not for the help Marx obtained from Engels, Marx would hardly have been able to overcome poverty and he surely would not have left behind him a monument.Qu Qiubai and Lu XunQu Qiubai was one of CPC’s pri ncipal leaders in the early period. Under the persecution (迫害)of Wang Ming, one of the CPC’s early leaders, Qu was dismissed from his important posts in the CPC Central Committee. But he soon took an active part in the struggles launched by theleft-wing cultural front, together with Lu Xun, in Shanghai. During the two years of joint work , they became true friends.)Before Reading >> Background InformationHalloweenHalloween is celebrated annually. It is on the night of 31 October, when people once believed that ghosts could be seen. Now, in Britain and America, it is a time when children have parties, dress up as witches, make lanterns out of pumpkins from which the inside has been remo ved, and play “trick or treat”.“Trick or treat” is a traditional activity at Halloween. Children dress in costumes and visit houses. At each house they say “Trick or treat”. This means that they will play a “trick”, or joke, on the people in the house unless they are given a “treat”, e.g. sweets or money. Most people prefer to give treats rather than having tricks played on them.Before Reading >> Word WebThe stories in this unit are about friendship.

The following short conversations will tell you about different customs in China, Argentina, Switzerland, Italy and Japan.Number 1: ChinaWoman: Did I tell you I'm going to China?Man: China? Great.Woman: Yes. I'm going to Shanghai on business. I have to buy some gifts.Man: Good idea. What are you going to take?Woman: I was thinking of bringing some handkerchiefs. They're colorful, beautiful? also lightweight. I don't want to carryanything heavy.Man: Ah, I don't think you should give handkerchiefs. They aren't a good gift in Chinese culture.Woman: Why not?Man: A handkerchief is a symbol of saying goodbye.Woman: Saying goodbye?Man: Yeah, like when you're going away ... and people are crying, so they need a handkerchief. Actually, I've heard that one of the best things to give is a dinner -- not a present, but a big dinner. It's good for business.Number 2: ArgentinaWoman: This is interesting. Did you know that in Argentina you should never give clothing unless you know the person really well?Man: Don't give clothing? Why not?Woman: Clothing -- even things like ties -- are too personal. Only good friends give them. Man: Huh? I never thought of a tie as being personal ... just uncomfortable. What should you bring?Woman: I don't know. Maybe something for the house.Number 3: SwitzerlandMan: We're meeting Mr. Mertz and his wife for dinner. Maybe I should take flowers or something ... Yeah, I'll pick up some red roses.Woman: You'd better not give them roses. In Switzerland, they could be a symbol of love and romance.Man: Oh, I didn't know that.Woman: I think candy or chocolate might be better.Number 4: ItalyWoman: I'd like some flowers. Uh ... those. About ten, I guess.Man: Ma'am, I don't think you should give ten flowers. In Italy,even numbers -- 2, 4, 6, andso on -- are bad luck.Woman: Even numbers are bad luck? OK, I'll take nine flowers then.Number 5: JapanWoman: May I help you?Man: I'm going to stay with a family in Japan. I need to get something for them.Woman: Pen sets are always a good gift.Man: Oh, that's a good idea. Let's see ... There are sets with a pen and pencil ... and bigger sets with four pens.Woman: You said you're going to Japan?Man: Yeah.Woman: Don't give a set of four pens -- in fact, don't give four of anything.Man: Why not?Woman: The Japanese word for "four" sounds like the word for "death." It's bad luck.Man: Thanks for telling me. I'll take the pen and pencil set.Woman: Good choice. These sets make very good gifts. After all, pens write in any language! Man: Uh ... yeah.

Information Related To The Text
Snakes are cold-blooded. They cannot produce their own body heat. Instead, they rely on the sun to heat their bodies and then regulate or. Since they do not rely on energy from food to generate body heat, snakes can survive on an extremely meager diet. Some wait for months between successive meals, and a few survive by eating a single, large meal just once of twice a year. When they do eat, snakes swallow their prey whole rather than biting off small pieces.
