金星 According to International Astronomical Union in 2006 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, how many planets are in the solar system?
The eight planets now recognized by the IAU are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Lord of the Flies (1954)
The novel was one of the great novels of the Fifties, yet in no obvious sense was it a Fifties novel; one reviewer would find in Golding ‘a sullen distaste for the contemporary’. The novel was an ironic rewriting of the Victorian boys’ book tradieral arts education must include good training in logical and critical thinking.
Lesson One Thinking as a Hobby
Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyI.Pre-reading activities: ( lead-in questions )i.How do you understand the word “thinking”? Do you have such a hobby as think?ii.According to your experience and understanding, what kind of people can be defined as great thinkers? Can you name some of them?iii.As far as thinking is concerned, how would you group all the people and how would you define each group?II.Background information:Methodists: Christians who follow the teachings of John Wesley and who have their own branch of Christian church and their own kind of worship. Wesley’s portrayal of the spiritual pilgrimage in terms of “the scripture way of salvation” provided their model for experiential Christianity. They assumed and insisted upon the integrity of basic Christian truth and emphasized its practical application in the lives of believers. While it is true that Methodists are fixed upon certain religious affirmations, grounded in the gospel and confirmed in their experience, they also recognize the right of Christians to disagree on matters such as forms of worship, structures of church government, modes of Baptism, or theological explorations. But even as they were fully committed to the principles of religious toleration and theological diversity, they were equally confident that there is a “marrow” of Christian truth that can be identified and that must be conserved. This living core, as they believed, stands revealed in Scripture, illumined by tradition, vivified in personal and corporate experience, and confirmed by reason.III.List of key words and expressions:Come to the/ a conclusion, nothing but, to be in a position to do sth, catch the light, in anguish, leap to one’s feet, endow sb with sth, leave sb out, there’s no/ little sense in doing sth, to be given to, think well of, confront sb with sth, confer sth on sb, to be given the third degree, to make for, to satisfy one’s ego, out of one’s depth, in the flesh, to aspire to sb, at the best of times, to come up with, to do away with, to stand to lose, to be content withIV.Words and expressions:i.to leave sb out: not include sb in an activity, collection, discussion, group, etc.e.g. I am aware that we have to leave out some interesting and important work.He had no one to talk to and was feeling left out.ii.to confront someone with something: to present facts or evidence to someone in order to accuse them of sth or to criticize them.e.g. I decided to confront her with the charges of racism.He did not feel it proper to confront her with things that happened fifty years ago.iii.to confer sth such as an honor, a gift, or status on sb: to offer or give sth to sbe.g. The society should confer more social prestige on housewives.The job confers respectability on the holder.iv. to be given the third degree: to be bullied, tortured, etc, especially in order to make someone confess or make them give secret information.

Lesson 1—Thinking as a Hobby
I. Text Analysis
Question: What do the three statuettes symbolize? What effect do the boy’s descriptions have? They represented the whole of life. The leopard stood for all animal needs or desires; Venus stood for love and the Thinker stood for thinking as a uniquely human feature. An humorous and sarcastic effect has been achieved by the author’s description of the statuettes, which established a background to support his later analysis of three grades of thinking and some human natures.
