课题：Book1 Unit4 Reading and ThinkingThe Night The Earthquake Didn’t Sleep 授课教师学校人与自然——语篇类型报告文学主题语境描述自然灾害课型阅读指导教师一、教学文本分析该文本标题为《地球不眠之夜》，是介绍1976年河北唐山大地震的纪实性报告文学。
该文本一共五个自然段，每个段落都有主题句。
按照时间顺序描述了该自然灾害发生的主线（明线），即地震前的预兆——地震中的破坏——地震后的救援与重建。
同时贯穿了地震中人们的情绪和情感变化（暗线）：奇怪——震惊——绝望无助——抱有希望——乐观积极。
从文本叙述手法来看，本文运用多种修辞手法来组织语言增强了画面感，让读者身临其境般感受到灾难后唐山市满目苍夷、让人绝望的场面。
例如，标题The Night The Earth Didn’t Sleep 和“Slowly, the city began to breathe again.”运用了拟人的修饰手法；“It seemed as if the world were coming to an end!”运用了夸张的手法；“Bricks covered the ground like red autumn leaves”运用了比喻。
更值得一提的是，整个文本使用了很多数字，例如eleven kilometers, eight kilometers long and 30 meres wide, less than one minute, two thirds of the people, thousands of, more than 400,000等等不仅仅描述了地震带来的毁灭性的后果，又增加了该语篇的客观性、说服力和可信度，体现了报告文学真实性的特点。
为了体现主题意义，语篇末尾句“Tangshan city has proved to China and the rest of the world that in times of disaster, people must unify and show the wisdom to stay positive and rebuild for a bright future”启发学生思考唐山大地震中人民的团结和积极乐观面对灾难的向上精神是这座英雄的城市可以顺利重建的根本原因。
外研版Book4 Unit1语法教学活动设计
外研版Book4 Unit1语法教学活动设计一、教材分析第九模块第一单学习如何表达请求：Can I have some……？和回复此类请求：Yes,you can.或者Sorry,you can't.词语学习目标是学习soup、sweets、bread、biscuit、fruit，sorry、turn on和light等词汇以及在具体语境中如何使用这些词汇。
本单元功能是请求获得允许以便得到某种物品。
在此之前，学生在本册第六模块学习过用can表达能力（I can jump high)和用can来提问对方是否能做某件事情(Can you run fast?).虽然can在第六模块中是实义动词，在此模块是情态动词，但是学生在具体语境中应该能明白can表示一种请求，在can表示请求第一次出现时试着让学生翻译意思，如果学生翻译有偏差，可以加以引导。
二、学情分析：四年级学生人数不多，但十分活跃，英语基础整体较好。
本节课的故事内容十分有趣，他们肯定会很愿意模仿和表演课文，如果在导入环节告诉他们要在班级内进行“物品交换”，他们肯定更有学习热情。
.基于以上教材分析和学情分析制定如下教学目标：三、教学目标：1.知识目标：让学生在具体语境中听懂Can I have some ……？并做出相应回答，让学生能用Can I have some ……？表达请求。
由于本节课新单词较多，学生对重点句型的掌握不受单词限制，95%学生能对新单词认读，其余学生不要求掌握本节课所有新单词，能读和知道下列单词的意思：sorry、soup、sweets、biscuits 和fruit 即可，对dark、turn on 和light 只要求学生知其义。
2.情感目标：在小组自主、互助、合作学习中相互合作、建设和谐班集体，在活动中体验学习的乐趣。
3.语言运用目标：在“物品交换”活动中，能运用Can I have some ……？征求他人意见以达到和对方交换个人物品的目的。
PEP小学英语四年级上册Unit1教案优秀7篇
PEP小学英语四年级上册Unit1教案优秀7篇四年级上册英语教案篇一一、学情分析今年四年级总共187人，学生都是从不同的学校来的，基础参差不齐。
学习习惯都有很大的差别，还需要加强培养学生的学习习惯。
该班的学生有了一定的英语基础，但仍有不少学生由于学习态度不够端正，基础不扎实，能力也较差，学习比较困难。
由于经过一年的学习，有了一定的英语学习基础，大多数的学生对英语产生了浓厚的学习兴趣，但也有些学生已失去了刚开始的兴趣，使得出现两极分化现象。
教师应注重培养学生良好的学习英语的习惯，应该面向全体学生，以学生的发展为宗旨，始终把激发学生的学习兴趣放在首位，引导学生端正学习态度，掌握良好的学习方法，培养学生良好的学习习惯。
二、教材分析全册共有8个单元，内容包括职业、动物、餐点、科目、学校等方面。
让学生在听听、说说、唱唱、玩玩、演演中认字母、学单词、说句子，然后将所学语言积极的运用到生活中去。
通过英语增进与他人的相互沟通和理解、欣赏。
三、教学内容与目标学生以个人或集体合作的'方式了解基本语言的表达方式和方法，表达自己的情感和思想，美化环境与生活。
在学习过程中，激发创造精神，发展实践能力，形成基本的语言能力。
四、教学重难点1.教学重点：学会本册的单词及句型。
2.教学难点：学生能掌握本册的单词及灵活运用所学的句型，提高学生用英语的能力。
五、考点本册的单词、句型及相关的语法知识六、教学目标希望通过努力，能更好的激发学生学习英语的兴趣，提高学生运用英语的的能力，整体成绩再有新的进步。
平均分75分以上，及格率85%以上，优秀率50%以上，消除学困率。
七、教学方法（一）会话教学在会话教学中，教师应注意以下几点：融合会话教学于情景表演之中，师生一起在表演中教，在表演中练，在交际活动中用，而不要将会话教学变成跟老师念跟录音读，集体、小组、个人读的枯燥无味的形式。
（二）词汇教学力求做到在旧语言中学生词，用旧词练习新语言。
外研社教材Book I Module 4 Unit 1
Step 6 Listen and read
1.Students listen to the tape of Activity 3.
2.Read after the tape, then read together and then in pairs.
This is a picture of…..
This is Tony. He has got a….
He hasn’t got any….
(2).Label the family members in the picture.
设计意图：利用生动的图片激发学生的学习兴趣，呈现话语主题：family。口头训练让学生能够更好地掌握目标语言。先口头讨论再笔头写下来的做法充分体现了由易到难的学习规律。学生通过同伴讨论合作的形式，既增进了同学之间的感情，又提高了学生的交际能力和合作能力。
六、教学反思
本节课以家庭为话题，学习重点是对家庭成员的介绍。训练重点是there be句型的使用和熟练用英语称呼家庭成员，由于班级内可能会有单亲家庭，因此在授课时我特别注意了保护学生，不伤及学生的自尊。同时在课堂上注意培养学生的移情能力，并且为本次活动制定了方向，并提出了活动的目标，并有意识的引导学生提炼说什么为什么说。
2、学生全员参与：注意培养学生的自主学习的能力、互助合作学习的能力、发现问题和解决问题的能力。比如：在讲授课文时，进行听力练习之后，让学生自读课文，并找出自己不明白和不理解的问题。在小组内先行解决，小组内解决不了的由教师再统一进行讲解。最后，教师再强调一些重点句子和句型，并就重点知识对学生进行提问。在学习的过程中难免会遇到各种各样的问题，有些不是个人所能解决的，需要共同的讨论。当然合作并不是简单的告诉答案和变相的抄袭，也不是不加以思考的去问别人，而应带着疑问，带着自己的观点和别人讨论，倾听别人的观点，吸取别人的长处，学习别人独特的解题方法，在争论中明白题目的本意，在合作中升华自己。又如：我设计了pair work ,group work等大量的合作学习形式，让学生在学到新知识的同时，更体会到了合作的重要性。

He was a priest, a mathematician who taught at Oxford University, a photographer, humorist and writer of children’s literature. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) was immediately successful, a masterpiece which revolutionized children’s literature,giving coherence and logic through wit and humour to unlikely or impossible episodes in which imaginary creatures embody recognizable human characteristics. He is also known for Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there (1871) and nonsense poems, such as The Hunting of the Snark (1876).William Cowper (1731–1800): a notable English poet, writer of hymns and letter-writer. He wrote gentle, pious, direct poems about everyday rural life and scenes of the countryside which have been seen as forerunners of the Romantic movement: Coleridge called Cowper “the best modern poet”. He translated Homer’s Greek epics. The Odyssey and The Iliad into English. Another example of his verses which have become common sayings is “God moves in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform…”John Steinbeck (1902–1968): American novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. The Grapes of Wrath (1939) is a well-known, long tragic novel about an American family of farmers who are driven off their land in Oklahoma by soil erosion in the famous “dust bowl” era. They flee to California to what they hope will be a better life. The book won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a film in 1940. Other well-known novels include Of Mice and Men (1937), Cannery Row (1945), The Pearl (1947), East of Eden(1952) and an account of a personal rediscovery of America, Travels with Charlie (1962).John Irving (1942–): American novelist and screenwriter who taught English at college and was a wrestling coach. The Fourth Hand (2001) is a comic-satirical novel about a TV journalist, Wallington, whose hand is seen by millions of viewers to be bitten off by a circus lion. A surgeon gives him a hand transplant (a third hand) but the wife of the dead donor wants to visit her husband’s hand and have a child by Wallington, who feels where his original hand used to be (the fourth hand).Audrey Niffenegger (1963–): American college professor who teaches writing to visual artists and shows students how to make books by hand. Her first novel, The Time Traveller’s Wife (2003) – filmed in 2009 – is a science fiction and romance bestseller about a man who travels uncontrollably in time to his own history and visitshis wife in her childhood, youth and old age. His wife needs to cope with his absences and dangerous life while he travels. The story is a metaphor for distance and miscommunication in failed relationships.Paul Torday (1946– ): a British busines sman who worked for a company that repaired ship’s engines for many years. Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2007) was his first novel. It is a political satire and comedy about a dull civil servant who becomes involved in a plan to populate the desert with Scottish salmon. Politicians manage the media to “spin” this as a plan they support in order to divert attention from problems in the Middle East. There are themes of cynicism and belief, and East-West culture clashes.Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918–2008): a Russian writer who was imprisoned in Soviet labour camps in 1945; after eight years, he was exiled to Kazakhstan and not freed until 1956, when he became a teacher. In 1970 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature but not receive it until 1974. He went to Germany, Switzerland and the USA, returning to Russia in 1994. His best known novels were based on his experiences as a prisoner and include: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich (1962), Cancer Ward (1968), The Gulag Archipelago (1974–1978). His later works were about Russian history and identity.Graham Greene (1904–1991): a British novelist, short-story writer, playwright, travel writer and essayist. He wrote a number of thrillers (he called them ‘entertainments’) which dramatize an ambiguous moral dilemma, often revealing guilt, treachery, failure and a theme of pursuit. Greene was also a film critic and all of these novels have been made into films: Brighton Rock (1938), The Power and the Glory (1940), The Heart of the Matter (1948), The Third Man (1950), The Quiet American (1955), and Our Man in Havana (1958).E. M. Forster (1879–1970): a British novelist and writer of short stories and essays. He lived at different periods in Italy, Egypt and India and taught at Cambridge University. His best known novels include A Room with a View (1908), Howard’s End (1910), A Passage to India (1924) which have all been made into films. His writing about reading and writing includes a book of lectures, Aspects of the Novel (1927).Thomas Merton (1915–1968): an American Catholic writer, who was a Trappist monk in Kentucky. He wrote over 70 books, including many essays about Buddhism and a translation into English of the Chinese classic, Chuang Tse. He had a great deal to say about the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures and wrote many letters to writers, poets, scholars and thinkers. He read a lot in English, Latin, French and Spanish and said he always had at least three books which he was reading at any one time.William Blake (1757–1827): a British poet, artist and mystic, who read widely in English, French, Italian, Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He made many engravings to illustrate the work of such writers as Virgil, Dante and Chaucer, as well as his own poems. He stressed that imagination was more important than rationalism and the materialism of the 18th century and criticized the effects of the industrial revolution in England, but his work was largely disregarded by his peers. He is best known for his poetry in Songs of Innocence (1787) and Songs of Experience (1794). His belief in the oneness of all created things is shown in his much-quoted verse, “To see the world in a grain of sand / And a heaven in a flower, / Hold infinity in the palm of your hand / And eternity in an hour.”Clifton Fadiman (1904–1999): an American writer, radio and TV broadcaster and editor of anthologies. For over 50 years he was an editor and judge for the Book-of-the-Month Club. In 1960 he wrote a popular guide to great books for American readers, The Lifetime Reading Plan, which discusses 133 authors and their major work: the 1997 edition includes 9 authors from China.J. K. Rowling (1965–): British writer of the seven Harry Potter fantasy books. She studied French and Classics at Exeter University, before teaching English in Portugal and training to teach French in Scotland. The main idea about a school for wizards and the orphan Harry Potter came on a delayed train journey from Manchester to London in 1990. She began to write as soon as she reached London. Twelve publishersrejected the first book before Bloomsbury, a small London publisher, agreed to publish it. Later books have repeatedly broken all the sales records (as have some of the films). She is one of the richest women in the UK and a notable supporter of many charities.Language points1 Variety’s the very spice of life, / That gives it all its flavour … (Para 2)Spices are made from plants and added to food to give it its particular flavour or taste. The English proverb “Variety is the spice of life” (the proverb comes from Cowper’s poem) therefore means that variety gives life extra value and allows you to appreciate life in particular ways.2 We learn to look beyond our immediate surroundings to the horizon and a landscape far away from home. (Para 3)This means that through reading we learn to look beyond our immediate experience or familiar environment to things beyond our immediate experience, ie to completely different things that we can imagine and experience through books.3 When a baseball player hits a home run he hits the ball so hard and so far he’s able to run round thefour bases of the diamond, and score points not only for himself but for the other runners alreadyon a base. (Para 9)In the American game of baseball, the field of grass is diamond-shaped and has four bases (specific points marked around the diamond), round which players must run to score points. One team bats (ie team members take turns to hit the ball and run round the bases) and the members of the other team throw (pitch) the ball and, when it is has been hit, try to catch it or get it quickly to one of the four bases. If a batting player can hit the ball hard enough, he can run round all four bases before the other team can get the ball and thus score maximum points – with a home run. In the passage, a really good book is a home run.3 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 Why are we like Alice in wonderland when we read a book?(a) Because, like Alice, we often have accidents.(b) Because reading makes us feel young again.(c) Because reading opens the door to new experiences.(d) Because books lead us into a dream world.2 According to the writer, what is the advantage of reading over real life?(a) There is more variety in books than in real life.(b) We can experience variety and difference without going out of the house.(c) The people we meet in a book are more interesting than real people.(d) It’s harder to make sense of real life than a book.3 What do the seven novels listed in Paragraph4 have in common?(a) Their titles stimulate imagination.(b) They represent the best writing by British and American novelists.(c) They have become classics.(d) You can find all of them in any local library.4 At what moment in our lives do books become important?(a) As soon as we start reading.(b) When we start buying books to fill our shelves at home.(c) When we start listening to bedtime stories.(d) Only when we are ready for books.5 What claim did Merton make about the poems of William Blake?(a) They were similar to the works of the Greek writers and thinkers.(b) They helped him understand the meaning of life.(c) They created a sense of confusion.(d) They taught him a lot about modern culture.6 What is meant by a home-run book?(a) A book which is so good you are unable to put it down.(b) A book that the whole family can enjoy.(c) A children’s book that is read and appreciated by adults.(d) A book that hits hard like a home run in the game of baseball.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make someone feel that they do not belong to your group (exclude)2 to fail to do something that you should do (neglect)3 to mention something as an example (cite)4 to be strong enough not to be harmed or destroyed by something (withstand)5 in most situations or cases (normally)6 to be about to happen in the future (await)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.When I lived in Britain, one of my favourite radio programmes was ca lled “Desert Island Discs”. The format was always the same: Guest celebrities were asked to imagine they had been washed ashore on a desert island, and had to choose nine books – (1) excluding the Bible and Shakespeare, which they were already provided with – to take with them to the island, to help them (2) withstand the physical and mental isolation. I sometimes like to think which books I would take. (3) Normally, like most people, I don’t have much time for reading, and I could (4) cite dozens of books which I have never read but which I w ould like to. It’s an opportunity I have (5) awaited all my life, in fact. But what would I choose? Mostly novels, probably, but I wouldn’t (6) neglect to include a volume or two of poetry. My first choice, I think, would be Tolstoy’s War and Peace. I’ve never read it, but I’m ready to believe that it is one of the most marvelous books ever written.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box.1 In a good novel, the writer and reader communicate with each other. (interact)2 I have to face up to the problem sooner or later. (confront)3 I read the book in one sitting and Mary did too. (likewise)4 E. M. Forster was one of the most important and respected British novelists of the 20th century. (influential)5 Do you believe that a work of literature can actually lead to social changes? (induce)6 Robert Burns was a great poet who wrote in the language variety spoken in Scotland. (dialect)7 The Time Traveller’s Wife is the story of a man who has a strange and inexplicable genetic disorder. (mysterious)7 Answer the questions about the words.1 If you have had a disconcerting experience, do you feel a bit (a) tired, or (b) confused?2 If you have a vista of something, can you (a) see or imagine it, or (b) go and visit it?3 Would you express great wrath by (a) smiling at someone, or (b) shouting at them?4 If you feel enchanted by a book, do you (a) like it a lot, or (b) not like it at all?5 Is a writer who is supremely talented (a) very good, or (b) quite good at his job?6 If reading fosters an understanding of certain problems, does it (a) help understanding, or (b) prevent it?7 If you are desperately trying to get a job, are you (a) trying very hard to get it, or (b) caring littlewhether you get it or not?8 Is a sensation (a) a certainty, or (b) just a feeling?Reading and interpreting8 Check () the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage.1 To show the reader how to read fiction.2 To suggest that fiction is more powerful than non-fiction.√ 3 To persuade the reader that reading can be a life-changing experience.4 To claim that books provide the meaning to life.5 To recommend some major novels to read.9 Work in pairs. Look at the statements from the passage and discuss the questions.1 … when we pick up a book we are about to enter a new world.Do you agree with this statement? Is this true of every book?I agree with this up to a point, but it is not true of every book because with some books you may already be very familiar with the world of those particular books so although you might read them, they wouldn’t take you to a new world.2 We’ll have experiences which are new, sometimes disconcerting, ma ybe deeply attractive, possibly unpleasant or painful, but never less than liberating from the real world we come from. How can reading be a “painful” experience? In what sense does reading “liberate” us from the real world?It is easy to imagine how reading could be a painful experience for some people: It depends on the book and on the reader’s background and personal ity. For instance, I can see that a story about bullying, might be painful to read if you were bullied when you were a child – it would remind you of the experience of being hurt.Reading can liberate us because in books we can have all sorts of wonderful and interesting experiences which would be impossible for us in the real world: we can travel to distant places or go anywhere in time, we can meet all sorts of people we probably wouldn’t meet anywhere else except in books.3 Reading books allows us to enjoy and celebrate this variety and difference in safety, and provides us with an opportunity to grow.How does this idea contrast with the title of the passage? In what way can a book help us “grow”? The word “Danger” in the title contrasts with this idea that reading is a safe experience. However, this is not a contradiction because experiences that would be dangerous in real life are quite safe when we read about them in books. The author seems to think that we grow in our minds with a better understanding and enriched imagination when we meet a wide variety of people and different situations in books. This vicarious experience in reading is a safe way to grow mentally and emotionally.4 To interact with other people’s lives in the peace and quiet of our homes is a privilege which only reading fiction can afford us.Do you agree? Is fiction really different from other types of writing?Well, I think this is true because in fiction we do interact with the characters, both positively (with characters we can identify with) and negatively (with characters we do not like or admire). But this doesn’t mean that we don’t interact with the writer in non-fiction. Surely all of us have the experience of feeling that we do interact with writers in newspaper or magazine articles and in some kinds of non-fiction which may be about science, for example. I suppose it depends on the style of the writing and on the personality of the writer (and of characters in fiction) and on us, as readers.5 We even understand … that we h ave more in common with other readers of books in other cultures than we might do with the first person we meet when we step out of our front doors.This suggests that people who read are different from people who don’t read. Do you agree? Well, I am not sure. I guess that people who read similar books, fiction or non-fiction, would share some common knowledge, experience and maybe feelings and they would probably talk about these when they know about each other’s reading habits. Of course, they wouldn’t ne cessarily have other things in common, just this particular connection with a certain kind of culture through reading. Maybe people in the street do not have to share this reading experience, so in that respect they are different, but they may be quite similar and share many cultural experiences in other ways –after all they live in the same place, probably speak the same language. So, I think it’s all a question of what sort of common experiences you are talking about. The more I think about it, the less I agree!6 From the bedtime story read by a parent to their child all the way through to the sitting room lined with booksin our adult homes, books define our lives.What do you understand by “books define our lives”?I suppose they would be those books – not many, surely? – which have made a great impact and remain so strong in our memories that do have a function of defining something in our lives. However, I think the author has exaggerated here. Books are not the only things that define our lives. People, places and special events define our lives too, so books are only one part which for some people have a great influence but for others maybe very little or none at all. We have to remember that some people simply don’t read books. Even some students on ly read what they have to read, nothing more than that!7 We cannot withstand the hunger to visit another world, to meet different people, to live other lives and to reflect on ourselves.Do you agree that we “live other lives” when reading? Or is this an exaggeration?I agree that we have strong imaginative experiences when we read. Maybe you can call this “living other lives” sometimes, but for me, anyway, this simply doesn’t happen very often and when it does happen it is only for a short time. I think the writer is exaggerating here to make the point that reading has importance in our imagination.8 Books may change your life.Is this a suitable title – and ending – for the passage? Why / Why not?Yes, I think it OK as a catchy title – it gets our attention, after all, and repeating it at the end makes a kind of coda like the ending of a piece of music which echoes something near the beginning. Also if you look carefully, it does have a note of caution by using “maybe” instead of “will”, so this title isn’t a definite promise, it’s more of an attractive idea, that your life may be changed through books, but might not be.Now discuss which of the above statements would have been more effective if backed up byexample(s).In fact, it seems that any of them could effectively be illustrated by examples, but if all of them were to be backed up with examples, the whole passage would be a lot longer and maybe too heavy with examples.If I had to choose just two statements which need supporting examples, I would say numbers three and six because I’d say the ideas about ‘growing’ through books and books ‘defining’ our lives are too vague without examples.Active reading (2)They were alive and they spoke to meBackground informationThis is from The Books in My Life by Henry Miller (1861–1980), an American novelist, writer and painter. Miller was born in New York, lived in Paris 1930–1939, and then in California. His best-known works blend fiction, autobiography, social criticism and mysticism: Tropic of Cancer (1934 published in France) describes his life and loves in Paris and because of its sexual frankness it was not published in the USA till 1961; Black Spring (1936) has ten autobiographical stories; Tropic of Capricorn (1939) is about his years with the Western Union Telegraph Company; The Colossus of Maroussi (1941), considered by some critics to be his best work, is a travel book about people from his stay in Greece.In The Books in My Life (1969) Miller looks at 100 books that influenced him. His list includes children’s books written originally for adults (eg Alice in Wonderland, The Arabian Nights, Greek Myths and Legends, Robinson Crusoe, The Three Musketeers); many French novels and poetry (eg by Balzac, Hugo, Giono, Nerval, Proust, Rimbaud, Huysmans, Maeterlinck), German novels (by Mann, Hesse, Dreiser) and the Chinese Lao Tse and Fenollosa’s The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry, besides work by American writers (Twain, Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman), Dostoievshy, Nietzsche, Joyce and writers on spiritual topics.Culture pointsAugust Strindberg (1849–1912): A Swedish playwright and a prolific writer of novels, short stories, satires, essays and poems, and a photographer, who tried various jobs before becoming assistant librarian at the Royal Library in Stockholm and established an experimental theatre. He is best known for his plays, including The Father (1887) and Miss Julie (1888), and for his vitality, vigour, and brilliant use of language. Miller cites Strindberg’s autobiographies, The Confession of a Fool (vol.2), a passionate love story and account of problems in his marriage, and The Inferno (vol.3), a study of his religious conversion, delusions and neuroses which reflect Strindberg’s periods of mental instability.Blaise Cendrars (1887–1961) is the pen name of Frédéric Sauser, a Swiss-born French novelist, shortstory writer, poet, and film-maker, who led a life of constant travel (he was born in an Italian railway train) doing various jobs in Russia, Europe, North and South America and Asia – he is said to have shoveled coal on steam trains in China. He lost his right arm fighting for France in World War I. His prose includes vivid, witty, action-packed novels, like Moravagine (1926), which describe travel and adventure, or works directly inspired by his own experience, like The Astonished Man (1945) and The Cut Hand (1946), and four volumes of memoirs. Miller admired his work and lists ‘virtually the complete works’ of Cendrars as influential reading.Rémy de Gourmont (1858–1915): a French writer of 50 books: essays, novels and poetry, with a strong interest in medieval Latin literature; as a critic he was admired by T. S. Eliot. He was a librarian at the National Library in Paris; later, a painful skin disease kept him largely at home. He was influential in the symbolist movement in literature. He claimed that a work of art exists only through the emotion it gives us. He asserted the need to get away from the unquestioning acceptance of commonplace ideas and associations of ideas, and believed it was necessary for thought to proceed by imagery rather than by ideas.Julius Caesar (110 BC–44 BC): a Roman statesman, known as a great military strategist. As a general he was famous for the conquest of Gaul (modern France and Belgium) which he added to the Roman Empire. He also made two expeditions to Britain, was governor of Spain and traveled in North Africa and Egypt. He was a good speaker and he wrote several books of commentaries and memoirs on Roman wars and military campaigns. Caesar’s writin g is often studied today by those who learn Latin.The Julius Caesar of literature: this phrase compares Cendrars with Caesar: both were men of action, travelers, adventurers, explorers, who somehow found time to read a lot and write books.Language points1 The fact, however, that in the past I did most of my work without the aid of library I look upon asan advantage rather than a disadvantage. (Para 1)This is irony. Miller is writing about the importance of reading and about key books in his life, but there is a paradox: Only recently has he been able to get all the books he has wanted all his life (ie he now has money, as a best-selling writer, to buy books) and, as a writer, he wrote books without the help of a library. He says that not having books wa s an advantage. The explanation is probably that Miller’s early writing was a mixture of autobiography and fiction, so he didn’t need to read other books or refer to them to do his own writing. The irony is that he is saying this in a book about the books the influenced him.2 A good book lives through the passionate recommendation of one reader to another. (Para 3)Miller thinks that a good part of the ‘life’ of a book is how one reader recommends it to another with enthusiasm, ie books are about sharing e xperience, not just the author’s experience in the book and the reader’s experience of reading it, but also the experience of word-of-mouth or face-to-face recommendation by other readers.3 And the better the man the more easily will he part with his most cherished possessions. (Para 4)This continues Miller’s thought that books are for sharing. A good person will share things he or she loves. In this case, such a person will give or lend favourite books and such generosity makes friends: When you give books you get friendship.4 If you are honest with yourself you will discover that your stature has increased from the mereeffort of resisting your impulse. (Para 6)Miller’s argument here is that you should not read everything, but that you should choose ve ry carefully and selectively. This means you should resist the temptation to read some things which are not really going to add to your knowledge or enjoyment (not every book will do this, only some). Here, he says that in this way, we grow (we “increase our stature”). That is, we grow by not reading many books. The implication is that if we choose the very best books and read these few really carefully we will get the best from them – and grow by such selection. Miller discusses 100 books which he things are such books.5 All on the side, as it were. (Para 7)Cendrars was a man of action who spent most of his time on travels and adventures. Surprisingly (you would think he did not have time), he read a lot in different languages and even wrote many books – this was in addition to his main activities.6 For, if he is anything, Cendrars, he is a man of action, an adventurer and explorer, a man who has known how to “waste” his time royally. (Para 7)Cendrars had a huge reputation as a man of action, travelling, having adventures and exploring different countries and yet he read a lot (he knew how to use the little time available to read). “Waste” is in quotes to show irony (reading isn’t a waste of time), that he reads in a royal manner (ie very thoroughly). The sentence structure here is quite French with the repetition of “he”.Reading and understanding2 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 What does Miller consider to have been an advantage during his writing career?(a) To have been able to read all the books he wanted.(b) To have grown up in a room full of books.(c) To have written without the aid of a library.(d) The fact that he never wanted to own any books.2 What did three stars on a book mean in the public library in Miller’s youth?(a) Young people weren’t allowed to read them.(b) They were the most popular books in the library.(c) They were intended for children.(d) They were more exciting than one-star books.3 Why does Miller hope the star system still exists in public libraries?(a) It is an efficient system which works well.(b) It discourages people from reading inappropriate books.(c) It makes people interested in reading.(d) It makes it easier for people to recognize books.4 Why do people lend books, in Miller’s opinion?(a) Because they feel the need to share their feelings.(b) It’s the best way to make a friend.(c) It’s less risky than lending money.(d) Because it’s not possible to possess a book for ever.5 According to Miller, what should you do when you find a book you want to read?(a) Pick it up and start reading.(b) Ask a friend for advice about the book.(c) Think about whether you really need to read it.(d) Only read it if it is original.6 What does Miller especially admire about Blaise Cendrars?(a) He had a very adventurous life.(b) He was a great writer.。
