Ohio: (note 8) a part of the Western frontier for those oppressed,discontented, ambitious, and restive people who sought adventures and made fortunes in the West.1. What does the word ‘chivalry’ suggest? (3-1) Or, what are the personality of chivalry, knight, the English country squire?the qualities that knights in the Western countries in the Middle Ages were expected to have, such as courage, honour, courtesy, loyalty, generosity, devotion to the weak and helpless, to the service of women1. pronounced: definite2. There should be a leisured class ... as the chief source of wealth and influence.Society is in need of a class of people who are not job-holders butland-owners, for their land may well help make society rich and powerful.3. Why should the leisured class enjoy privilege? (ll. 25-31)It was this leisured class of wealthy people that supported the society and made the nation powerful. They had a strong obligation to save or help the community instead of gaining advantage for themselves. It was this privileged class that should gain the leadership, decide social values - of thought, of conduct, of personal deportment.4. No man was born to ... how far he could rise.Nobody was born into this world with any rights or privileges; what he might do is to fully utilize every single opportunity with his reach and strive to achieve success.1. What do the words ‘steel and machinery’, ‘crowded cities’ symbolize?And what do the words ‘restless burgeoning vitality’ connote? (3-4) Mechanization, industrialization, and urbanizationDynamism, life, potential of growth and development1. Through him, the landed nobility justified itself.2.He had passed into legend before Appomattox.3. What was Lee’s ideal?a leisured class that had the ownership of wealth, that had all the privileges, that had the obligation to support the nation, to lead the nation in its development, to decide everything including social values.4. What did his men fight for? Why? (ll. 34-41)They fought for the ideals Lee stood for, for him himself. They fought heroically and desperately because they thought they were carrying on a holy cause. They were even willing to die for him because they considered him the Confederacy, the symbol of everything.Their faith in Lee was nearly fanatical, don’t you think so? (3-2)5. Why did Lee fight for his own community / locality?to defend his locality, i.e., all the wealth, the privileges, the power, which are the things that made his life meaningful. (ll. 70-71) So he treasured them and would do everything to preserve them.6. Why did Grant fight for the national community?He believed people could prosper only when their community prospered. He saw his fate in terms of the n ation’s own destiny. (= He had linked his own future with that of his country.) He would become wealthy if his country grew and developed well. (He had an acute dollars-and-cents stake in the continued growth and development of his country.) (para. 9)His living was closely connected with the growth, expansion, and development. He would survive as his country survived; he would fall if his country fell. Therefore, he would take some actions to defend his country when it was in danger. He would fight for his country against the danger with all his might because he thought this danger would bring forth the destruction of the country in which he lived. (He would combat it ... from under his feet.) (para. 11)7. What does ‘it’ in para. 11 refer to? (3-3)An attempt to destroy the nation.Summary:1. Each man was the perfect champion of his cause, drawing both his strengths and his weaknesses from the people he led. (= Each of the two men was the leading figure of his cause, defending his own faith, and each of them was the representative of his class, possessing all the characteristics and qualities - strengths and weaknesses - of his own class.)2. What is the most striking contrast between Grant and Lee according to Catton? What, in your opinion, makes him think so? (3-11)Grant was a nationalist and a democrat while Lee was a regionalist, an aristocrat, and a conservative.Of all their differences, this perhaps was the most essential one, which determined their different notions of the kind of nation America was to be built into.Step 4 Similarities between Grant and Lee1. Refer to LW4, and try to explain by giving synonyms in right column for the words in the left column.2. What is the most important similarity between Grant and Lee? Do you agree with Catton on this? Why? (3-10)to turn quickly from war to peace once the fighting was over. (16)This was the most important similarity because it made possible the reconciliation at Appomattox, which led to the reunification of the North and the South and the creation of the American nation, a most significant event in American history.3. Is the last para. the conclusion? Why did the author conclude the essay in this way? (Org. & Devl. - 3)There is not a separate para. that concludes the essay, but it is properly concluded in the last para., which is supposed to present the last, and also the most important similarity. This has such great significance for the outcome of the encounter at Appomatox that it is hardly possible for Catton to start another para. to restate the historic meaning of this event.Post-reading Activities1. Comp. 1, 22. In this comparison between two historical figures, no mention is made of their physical appearance. Is this a weakness of the essay or is there some justification for avoiding such details? Explain your answer. (3-12) Normally it would be considered a defect. But C. is writing about the two soldiers as large-than-life exeplars of social trends. Also he is writing about their beliefs and deeds rather than about their personal appearance.3. How is the beginning of the essay echoed by the ending? (3-13)What is said in the 1st para. ‘... a great chapter in American life came to a close, and a great new chapter began’ is restated in the last sentence ‘... one ofUnit 12Organization and Development Paras. 1-3IntroductionParas. 4-11Paras. 12Summary of the contrasts Para. 13TransitionParas. 14-16Similarities between Grant and Le (Language Work IV)。

Unit 10TEXT ISTRAIGHT-A ILLITERACYJames P. DegnanObjectives: to understand what straight-A illiteracy means and define it;to make a comparison between ordinary illiteracy and straight-A illiteracy and comments on it;to discuss the appropriate diction in writing.Pre-reading Questions1. What does ‘straight-A illiteracy’ mean?A straight-A student is one who gets A’s for all the courses he takes. He is generally admired for his excellent scholarship.It seems paradoxi cal to call someone a ‘straight-A illiterate’. What does the author mean by it? Read the article and try to understand and define what straight-A illiteracy means.In-reading ComprehensionPara. 11. as often as not: at least half the time; frequently2. How many kinds of illiterate according to D.?Two kinds: ordinary illiterates who are unable to read or write. There are quite a lot of this kind of illiterates in schools.straight-A illiterate who is typically a Ph.D., a successful professor and textbook author, and who is more influential.3. Why does D say that a straight-A illiterate is more influential? (comp. 3-2)He is usu. one who occupies a position at the top of the academic hierarchy; the way he writes is considered exemplary, and his judgment of what is appropriate is directive.4. What do people do with these two kinds of illiterate?More concern has been shown for the ordinary illiterates. People even make fuss about this kind of illiteracy. However, little attention is aroused to straight-A illiterates. So, the purpose of this article is to give them as much attention as has been paid to ordinary illiterates. (ll. 6-7)Para. 21. What is this para. about?D’s treatment with a disease of straight-A illiteracy in his office.2. Do you think D’s comparison of straight-A illiteracy to a disease is appropriate? Explain. (comp. 3-3)Yes. Like a disease, it victimizes healthy persons; it has its symptoms, and its agents.3. Who is the straight-A illiterate?a college senior ... outstanding graduate schools.He is extremely clever and highly talented in language. He has done an excellent job in his studies, so he has been awarded an opportunity to further his study in one of the nation’s best graduate schools.4. How does the treatment go?They have been going over the student’s paper sentence by sentence, word by word for an hour, prying and probing for its meaning.‘Prying and probing’, the repetition of the same structure, is to emphasize the extreme difficulty of the task.5. Are there any other words to highlight the extreme difficulty in understanding Mr. Bright’s paper? (comp. 3-4)interrogating, cross-examining, pause to catch my breath, on earth, his brow furrowed, tries mightily, finally ... finally, another hour, decode ....6. Try to explain why the following pairs of sentences are the same in meaning: ll. 15-17, ll. 23 (comp. 3-8)As intended by the student, ‘The choice ... multi-colinearity’ corresponds to ‘demand’ while ‘... the derivations ... coefficients’ corresponds to ‘supply’.This is a very abstruse sentence to unravel.7. Why does D insert the word ‘allegorically’ in ‘... whom I call, allegorically,Mr. Bright’? (comp. 3-5)‘allegory’ in Lib. Work.When the author calls his student Mr. Bright allegorically, he does not mean to refer to this particular straight-A student only. He is using the term to cover all those students, college seniors, and Ph.D.’s who may seem bright when judged by their academic records, but who nevertheless fail to detect gibberish in their own writings or in those of others.The student given the name Mr. Bright thus becomes a symbol.Is he really bright? No, here in an ironical sense.Para. 31. It attacks best minds, ... in that of others.It does harm to the most intelligent individual and, by and by, wears away his ability to judge, eventually reducing him to being unable t Para. 3o detect nonsense either in his own writing or in that of others.This is the harm that straight-A illiteracy does to people.2. Reword the following sentences so that they are more easily understood: ll. 34-35, ll. 37-41 (comp. 3-9)ll. 34-35: The shop assistants had better have in stock what our customers need, or we won’t be in business long (=This is said or written by an ordinary illiterate, who is poor at spelling (them), pronunciation, punctuation, grammar (had + better, stock -up on, ain’t gonna be). So he makes many mistakes, and so he is kept out of institutions of higher learning. (l. 33)ll. 37-41: You must focus your attention on what your customers need so that you are able to tell what is necessary from what is unnecessary when you replenish your stock.This is written by a straight-A illiterate, who would never make spelling, grammar, punctuation mistakes, but who is incapable of making his ideas simple and clear in his writing. However, it is for writing this gibberish that he can be awarded straight As on his papers and the opportunity to continue his study, receiving higher and higher education until he has successfully got the Ph.D.The higher education one receives, the more serious his disease of straight-A illiteracy becomes. (ll. 27-28)3. Make complete the elliptical sentence ‘Not our man’. What is the function? (comp. 3-6)‘This is not what our man would say’. This ellipsis contrasts the two types of illiteracy, and with it D turns back from one type to the other.Para. 41. What is the major cause of straight-A illiteracy?the stuff - the textbooks and professional journals that the straight-A illiterate is forced to read during his years of higher education.He reads gibberish, and gradually he forms a habit of writing gibberish himself, which he has been instructed to learn an exemplary writing of sophisticated taste. (ll. 46-47)2. Give the examples of gibberish D quotes from professional journals.jargons as ‘ego-integrative action orientation’ and ‘orientation toward improvement of the graficational-deprivation balance of the actor’‘homologous’ or ‘isomorphic’, meaning ‘alike’‘allotropic’, meaning ‘different’‘dichotomize’ or ‘bifurcate’, meaning ‘divide anything3. D concludes his article by using quite a number of unintelligible words and expressions in place of clear and simple English. Is it effective? Why?This usual arrangement has undoubtedly enabled the reader once again to feel even more the absurdity of the practice to express simple ideas in an almost incomprehensible way, adding more weight to the point he intends to make. (Analysis)Post-reading Discussion1. Makeａdefinition of ‘straight-A illiteracy’. (comp. 1-A)2. What is the purpose of D’s writing? (comp. 3-1)to find the cause of straight-A illiteracy.to give straight-A illiterate equal time with his widely publicizedcounterpart. (para. 1)to expose and condemn the use of professional jargon, which fills the reading materials that highly educated people are forced to read as they pursue their education. (Analysis)3. Comp. 24. Group work: Compare briefly the two types of illiteracy. Which type in your opinion presents a graver problem to society? (comp. 3-10)TEXT IITHE QUALITIES OF GOOD WRITINGJacqueline Berke1. This is an excerpt from Twenty Questions for the Writer, a widely used writing textbook, the kind of which we need to read to further our learning by ourselves. What do you usu. do when you read this kind of book by yourselves? Underline or highlight the important words or sentences, or make notes of your own so as to get the gist of it. Suppose you have borrowed this book from the library and come to read this part. What will you do with it? Study the text individually before class and do what you usu. do to catch the gist.2. Have group work for about 20 mins., exchanging what you have learned after reading it, and preparing for a presentation of this text. Your presentation can be based on Questions 1, 2, & 4 on p165.3. Presentation: Ask 4 groups to present the three qualities and human nature of writing respectively.4. As college seniors, we need to choose those more specific, exact, meaningful words in our writing rather than those common words as ‘good’, ‘nice’, etc. Do you consider using those more specific, exact, meaningful words as a kind of straight-A illiteracy? Give your opinions.。

Unit SixTEXT IDULL WORKEric HofferObjectives: To catch the central idea of each paragraph.To discuss that eventful life kills rather than stimulates a man’s instinct for creation./all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.Pre-class work:Find out more about the figures mentioned in the text than those provided in the notes: Amos, Socrates, Omar, Jesus Christ, Albert Einstein, Niccolo Machiavelli, Immanuel Kant, John Keats, Sophocles, John Milton, Benvenuto Cellini.Pre-reading Questions:1. Do you think you can achieve much if you live a plain, ordinary life?2. Does monotonous, routine work dull one’s mind?In-reading ComprehensionPara. 11. There seems to be general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they need a varied, exciting life in order to do their best.to do their best: to achieve their potential creativeness; to best exercise their talent (comp. 3-1)It is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and only a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.2. Tell about this para. in your own words.There is an assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine life, and they need a colorful life; while dull people are suited for dull work. The present-day young are more brilliant than the young of the past because they are better educated. Therefore they prefer a colorful life to a dull, routine one.3. What is the purpose of this para.?This is an introductory para. to put forward an assumption (successful men - colorful life; unsuccessful - dull, routine life) so as to raise a question: Is the assumption right or wrong?Para. 21. What is the ‘opposite’ that H says is ‘nearer the truth’? What is the purpose of this para.? (comp. 3-2)As it goes in the 1st sentence, the successful men do not crave for (= long for) colorful life. The contrary is also true (反过来说): people who achieve much are often those content with the routine, uneventful life they live, or, the successful men are satisfied with the routine/uneventful/colorless life they are leading.This is the central idea of this para. and H supports it by citing examples of some well-reputed men who led a colorless routine life.2. Identify those great figures mentioned in this para. and say something about them.Amos the sheepherder: a minor prophet in the Old Testament 阿摩斯，旧约中１２个小先知中的第三名Socrates the stonemason: Greek philosopher well known for his sophistry Socrates of Athens, who flurished in the last half of the 5th century, was the 1st of the great trio of ancient Greeks - Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle - who laid the philosophical foundations of Western culture.He was born in or about 470 BC. His father Sophroniscus was a sculptor, mother a midwife, 3 sons, one an infant. There were 2 counts in the accusation: ‘corruption of the young’ and ‘neglect of the gods whom the city worships and the practice of religious novelties.’ An escape was planned by his freind Crito, but S refused to hear of it, on the grounds that the verdict, though contrary to the fact, was that of a legitimate court and must therefore be obeyed. The story of his last day, with his drinking of the hemlock, has been perfectly told in the Phaedo of Plato.Though a good fighting man, his outward appearance was grotesque. Stout and not tall with prominent eyes, snub nose, broad nostrils, and widemouth, he seemed a very Silenus. But as his freinds knew, he was ‘all glorious within,’ ‘the most upright man of that day.’ (Plato)Omar the tentmaker: Persian astronomer and poetJesus Christ: 上帝的独生子。

The main economic hub of New York City, Manhattan is one of the world’s leading commercial, financial, cultural, manufacturing, medical, and tourist centers. Manhattan Island, which makes up almost all of the borough, is bounded on the north and northeast by Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the Harlem River, which separate it from the borough of the Bronx; on the east by the East River, which separates it from the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn; on the south by Upper New York Bay; and on the west by the Hudson River, which separates it from New Jersey. The borough, about 80 sq km (about 31 sq mi) in area, also encompasses a small exclave (Marble Hill) on the Bronx mainland; several islands in the East River, including Franklin D. Roosevelt Island (the site ofa large modern housing complex), Randalls Island, and Wards Island; and Governors Island inUpper New York Bay.The name Manhattan is derived from an Algonquian term for “island of hills.” In 1524 the island, then inhabited by Native Americans, was probably seen by the Italian navigator Giovanni da Verrazzano.Ethnic and social groupings characterize some residential areas of the borough. Lower Manhattan contains fairly well-defined quarters inhabited by persons of Italian, Chinese, and Hispanic descent. Also in the southern part of the borough are Greenwich Village and SoHo, districts noted for artistic and cultural activities. Battery Park City, a large-scale residential and commercial development on landfill near the tip of Manhattan Island, was constructed during the 1980s.

What is a psychiatrist and why people consult psychiatrist.Psychiatry, branch of medicine specializing in mental illnesses. Psychiatrists not only diagnose and treat these disorders but also conduct research directed at understanding and preventing them.A psychiatrist is a doctor of medicine who has had four years of postgraduate training inpsychiatry. Many psychiatrists take further training in psychoanalysis, child psychiatry, or other subspecialties. Psychiatrists treat patients in private practice, in general hospitals, or in specialized facilities for the mentally ill (psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, or community mental health centers). Some spend part or all of their time doing research or administering mental health programs. By contrast, psychologists, who often work closely with psychiatrists and treat many of the same kinds of patients, are not trained in medicine;consequently, they neither diagnose physical illness nor administer drugs.Psychiatrists use a variety of methods to detect specific disorders in their patients. The most fundamental is the psychiatric interview, during which the patient's psychiatric history is taken and mental status is evaluated. The psychiatric history is a picture of the patient's personality characteristics, relationships with others, and past and present experience with psychiatric problems—all told in the patient's words (sometimes supplemented by comments from other family members). Psychiatrists use mental-status examinations much as internists use physical examinations. They elicit and classify aspects of the patient's mental functioning.Para. 41. invariable ①never changing②invariables: mathematics constant quality.2. preliminary n. ①something that precedes, prepares for, or introduces the main matter,action, or business. 开端，初步②Sports A contest to determine the finalists in a competition. 【体育运动】预赛③often preliminaries Printing The front matter of a book. 【印刷术】前言：书的开头内容adj.

Why did the old man advise the author to do to get out of his depressed state of mind?The three speakers on the tape were all unhappy, and the two words they all used frequently in what they said were “if only.” What the old man wanted to point out to the author was that to keep saying “if only”would not change anything; on the contrary, it only kept the person facing the wrong way backward instead of forward. Thus it did more harm than good to the person who kept saying them.2. Sigmund FreudFreud, Sigmund (1856-1939), Austrian physician, neurologist, and founder of psychoanalysis.In 1886 Freud established a private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous disease. He met with violent opposition from the Viennese medical profession because of his strong support of Charcot’s unorthodox views on hysteria and hypnotherapy. The resentment he incurred was to delay any acceptance of his subsequent findings on the origin of neurosis.Freud created an entirely new approach to the understanding of human personality by his demonstration of the existence and force of the unconscious. In addition, he founded a new medical discipline and formulated basic therapeutic procedures that in modified form are applied widely in the present-day treatment of neuroses and psychoses. Although never accorded full recognition during his lifetime, Freud is generally acknowledged as one of the great creative minds of modern times.Para. 111. berate to rebuke or scold angrily and at lengthscold，berate，These verbs mean to reprimand or criticize angrily or vehemently.Scold implies an annoyed or bad-tempered reproof: 暗示恼怒或坏脾气：The young woman's parents scolded her for questioning their authority.Berate suggests scolding or rebuking angrily and at length: 指长时间愤怒地责备或谴责：The dissatisfied customer berated the florist.2. Paraphrase the third sentence of the paragraph.The next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. She still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.Para. 12-161. woeful mournful2. lament ①to express grief for or about:lament a death②to regret deeplyHe lamented his thoughtless acts.3. Paraphrase the last sentence of para. 15.Eventually, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrase can really turn to an obstruction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.Para. 17-241. hash over discuss carefully; review2. Paraphrase the first sentence of para.18.… you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. You did not look forward towhat you can do in the future at all.3. rueful inspiring pity or compassionruefully regretfully4. Why did the old man advise the author to do to get out of his depressed state of mind?Shift the focus; substitute “next time” for “ if only”.5. grim Unrelenting; unpleasant, dreadfulto look grimI've had a grim day.Para. 25-331. In what way are the two phrases “if only” and “next time” different?They point to entirely different mental directions; one is backward and negative, and the other forward and positive.2. Paraphrase para.28and 29.The Old Man said to me trickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “if only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d have caught the cab.” I laughed and understood what he meant. So I followed his advice and said, “Next time I’ll run faster.”3. What do you think is the tone of the passage?It is instructive and inspirational.Text II The Romance of Words1. What is the writer’s purpose of writing? Where in the essay is it first made clear? Is it echoedsomewhere else?The writer’s purpose of writing is to call upon the readers to pay more attention to words, which they tend to take for granted. This is made clear at the very beginning of the article by the sentence “From now on we want you to look at words intently, to be inordinately curious about them and to examine them syllable by syllable, letter by letter.” This is echoed by the sentence in the last paragraph: “From this time on, as we enter our word studies, try to become self-conscious about words.”2. To show the dynamic nature of words, the writer have used two analogies. What are they?Which one do you concentrate on?The two analogies the writers have made are “human beings” and “living trees”. But in the article they concentrate on the analogy of “living trees”.3. Where in the essay can you find the writers’ explanations of the root of a word, the branches,and the leaves of our language respectively?Their explanations can be found in para. 6,12,and 16 respectively:The story of the root of a word is the story of its origin.The branches of our language tree are those many groups of words that have grown out from one original root.The leaves of this language tree would be the words themselves and their meanings.4. In the essay the writer have used various examples to illustrate what is meant by the root of aword, the branches, and the leaves of the language. Now try to provide similar examples of your own. You can refer to dictionaries and books, especially those on English lexicology.。
