unit 1 Mr。
Doherty Builds His Dream Life12 I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do。
It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for solitude. Because we are so busy and on such a tight budget, we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for socializing anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities，but they too spend most of their time at home.我想,不是所有热爱乡村的人都会乐意过我们这种生活的。
这种生活需要一些特殊的素质。
其一是耐得住寂寞。
由于我们如此忙碌,手头又紧，我们很少请客。
在作物生长季节，根本就没工夫参加社交活动。
吉米和埃米莉虽然参加学校的各种活动,但他俩大多数时间也呆在家里。
13 The other requirement is energy -— a lot of it。
The way to make self—sufficiency work on a small scale is to resist the temptation to buy a tractor and other expensive laborsaving devices。
Instead，you do the work yourself. The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three—horsepower rotary cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw。

In my parents’ words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.

The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi¬nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi¬nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.Part II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23 By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un¬derground Railroad to freedom.2.

To deal with this problem, animal protectionists have forged an international alliance. On the other hand they have urged the United Nations to lay down more specific laws to save these animals.2) It was reported that food supplies would soon run out and most of the victims of the earthquake would starve to death. At huge risk, a group of volunteers from the Red Cross took on the mission to transport food, clothes and medicine to the most seriously hit areas.3) A rally was going to be held in honor of the 16th US President Abraham Lincoln who abolished slavery in 1863 and liberated the slaves in the South.

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves. He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom. Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run. He disguised them and successfully avoided capture. In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living. He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. a2. d3. c4. d5. b6. bTranslation(#J& Appendix III)Language Practice1. remarkable2. commitment3. flourish4. resulted from5. grave6.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United Statesin the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.(254 words)Unit 3Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear is all about a "Saturday Night Special". Listen and see if you can guess what a Saturday Night Special is.Saturday Night SpecialLynyrd SkynyrdTwo feets1 they come a-creepin' 2 Like a black cat do.

Ain't no good for nothing4 But put a man six feet in a hole.Big Jim's keen a-drinkin' whiskey, And playin' poker on a losin' night,1 Two feets: Normally we say two feet.2 a-creepin: in the state of creeping, "a-", here, is a prefix meaning "in the state or process of.3 38 refers to a 38 calibre (P S) handgun or pistol.4 Ain't no good for nothing: a non-standard way of saying "They are good for nothing"And pretty soon ol' Jim starts thinkin' Somebody's been cheatin' and lyin' .So big Jim commenced to fightin'1,I wouldn't tell you no lies.big Jim done pulled his pistol,Snot his friend right between the eyes.It's the Saturday Night Special, Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't no good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole.On, that's a Saturday Night Special,For twenty dollars you can buy yourself one, too.Hand guns are made for till in , They ain't no good for nothin' else. And if you like to drink your whiskey You might even shoot yourself.So why don't we dump'em people To the bottom of the sea Before some ol' fool come around here, Wanna shoot either you or me.It's the Saturday night specialYou got a barrel that's blue and coldYou ain't good for nothin'But put a man six feet in a bole.It's the Saturday night specialAnd I'd like to tell you what you could do with itAnd that's the end of the song.The unit we are going to study, like the song you have just heard, is all about the threat of crime. It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despite creeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special.

Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Part III Text BComprehension Check1. b3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(#JE Appendix III)Language Practice1. impact3. draw the line at5. circumstance7. take the plunge9. aggressive11. advocated13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. recommend6. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm12. insure14. in our favor16. count on18.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man or a small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is, for we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unprotected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenseless.(184 words)Unit 4Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Every child likes listening to stories. Zoe, a girl with wings, is no exception. Listen carefully and see what story her father is going to tell her."Now, Zoe, stop fluttering around, and I will tell you a story.""A true story, papa?""It all happened exactly as I'm going to tell you. Two thousand and eleven years ago in 1985, a tribe of beings from the Dog Star invaded Earth. They were called An-vils." "And what did these beings look like, father?""Like humans in many, many respects. They each had two arms, two legs, and all the other organs that humans are endowed with. But they also had a pair of wings and long, purple tails.""How many of these beings were there?"。
