Flashback:A flashback (闪回) is a technique used by writers. It is often used in movies, television and literature. It involves a character remembering something that happened to him in the past.Activity: Besides P aragraph 2, you’re expected to find out some other paragraphs that contain this technique.Tips: Besides Paragraph 2, Paragraphs 6, 8 and 9 contain or involve flashbacks.Here is a movie clip from The Bourne Ultimatum, in which the technique of flashback is used.2. SymbolismSymbolism in art tries to show not what is real but what could stand instead of what exists. It deals with ideas that aren't physical, mostly.e.g. Moby-Dick: representation of an unknowable God;Scarlet Letter: The scarlet letter “A” is meant to be a symbol of shame, but instead itbecomes a powerful symbol of identity to Hester.Activity: Find some examples of symbolism in the text.Tips: “summer brightness” (Paragraph 8)“corolla of dazzling whiteness” (Paragraph 9)“white mottled marble” (Paragraph 15)The repeated “white” in the last paragraph, and it reveals t he phony democracy of theUnited States and the false freedom of colored people, which drove our writer mad andindignant.III. Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1)The first time I went to Washington D.C. was on the edge of the→ at the beginning of2)Preparations were in the air around our house before school was even over.→the whole family were already either actually busy making preparations or enjoying the ambience3)In fact, my first trip to Washington was a mobile feast.→ a large enjoyable meal on the train4)…as if we had never been Black before.→ as if we had never been mistreated for being black.5)My parents wouldn't speak of this injustice, not because they had contributed to it.→had partially caused6)My fury was not going to be acknowledged by a like fury.→ was not going to be openly sympathized with by people displaying a similar anger2. Fill in each blank with one of the two words from each pair in their appropriate forms and note the difference of meaning between them.bruise scarExplanation: bruise indicates an injury of the surface flesh, caused by a blow that does not necessarily break the skin and that results in a marked skin; the word can also suggest the tendency to turn black-and-blue from small impacts. Scar refers to the forming of a mark over a healed wound or suggests the doing of damage that will leave a lasting mark.1)Be sure to store these tropical fruits carefully as they bruise easily.2)She continued massaging her right foot, which was bruised and aching.3)He was scarred for life during a pub fight.4)This is something that's going to scar him forever.dampen soakExplanation:Dampen is to make or become somewhat wet, emphasizing the moist condition that results. In a figurative sense, the word means to depress. Soak means to wet thoroughly, implying immersion. To soak something is to place it in liquid and leave it long enough for the liquid to act upon it.1)Nothing quite beats the luxury of soaking in a long and hot bath at the end of a tiring day.2)Dampen the stamp at the back and stick it on the envelope; there you are.3)I've gotten my feet thoroughly soaked in the cold, feeling frozen through and through.4)I hate to dampen your spirits, but aren't you overlooking a few minor points?acknowledge admitExplanation:Acknowledge is to accept responsibility for something one makes known, and we acknowledge something embarrassing or awkward, and usually not voluntarily; more often, the acknowledgment is extracted from one more or less unwillingly. Admit is a bold acknowledgment of implication in something one has formerly tended to deny or to equivocate about.1)"There are some faults which men readily admit but others not so readily” (Epictetus).2)The general finally acknowledged that the war had not been going as well as expected, buthe affirmed that a shift in strategy would enhance the prospects of victory.3)His cooking reflects a determination to acknowledge his northern roots.4)He admitted under questioning that he was in the service of a foreign power, but deniedthat he was guilty of espionage.agony anguishExplanation Agony represents suffering, the endurance of which calls forth every human resource. Its severity is of such extent that the word is often used to denote the struggle and pain that may precede death. Anguish points to the extremity of grief which so terrifies the spirit as to be insupportable.1)In a Guatemalan prison, the man lingered in agony for 18 minutes when the lethal injectionfinally took effect.2)So you will be saving these villagers a lot of trouble and anguish if you tell us now wherethey are.3)No child deserves to live in the shadow of fear, anguish and pain.4)The driver screamed in agony and dropped the automatic as he was crushed between thedoor and the chassis.3. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word or phrase taken from the box, using its appropriate form.ensconce agony vulnerable in private dazzle avowtravesty dainty approve relieve decree flair1)The local council has decreed that the hospitals that are not able to reach the servicestandards should close.2)When Hamlet murmured "To be, or not to be," he was faced with a(n) agonizing dilemma.3)The young mother smiled approvingly at her son, who asked to play outdoors.4)The Prime Minister is now firmly ensconced in Downing Street with a large majority.5)We need a manager with plenty of flair to run the business in China.6)It is noticed that quick-minded people suffer no vulnerability to criticism.7)It was a relief to be outside in the fresh air again after staying weeks-long underground.8)The government's avowed commitment to reduce tax has been largely appreciated.4. Make a sentence of your own for each of the given words with meanings other than those used in the text. You may change the part of speech of these words.1)present→John presented me with the challenge, and I took it up.2)capital→To open a supermarket demands a large amount of capital.3)pack→Well, it’s your turn to shuffle the pack and deal the cards.4)move→It would be a wise move to check the market first.5)counter→The results of the test ran counter to expectations.6)drop→Is there a drop of tea left in the pot?5. Fill in each blank with a definite, indefinite, or zero article.(1) The concept of (2) / sleep research is (3) a fairly new development. (4) A lot of experimental work is done to increase our knowledge about (5) / insomnia and other sleep-related problems in order to help (6) / people who are deprived of (7) / sleep. Some of these studies have shown that, although some people have (8) / trouble falling asleep, (9) / others have (10) an equally difficult time waking up. It is believed that there is (11) a natural cycle which regulates (12) / man's body temperature.During (13) the night (14) a person's temperature may drop one or two degrees, and it can be difficult to arouse him in (15) the morning if his body hasn't become hot enough yet. In addition, (16) a person awakened during (17) a period of (18) / heavy sleep is irritable and cannot think clearly. Finally, some people don't want to get up simply because they don't like (19) the activity that awaits them.Tips: An online brief introduction ()How to Use Articles (a/an/the)The can be used with non-count nouns, or the article can be omitted entirely.A/an can be used only with count nouns. Some common types of nouns that don't take an article are:Names of languages and nationalities;Names of sports;Names of academic subjects.6. Put a word in each blank that is appropriate for the context.I remember the very day that I became colored. Up (1) to my thirteenth year I lived in the little Negro town of Eatonville, Florida. The only (2) white people I knew passed through the town going to or coming (3) from Orlando. The native whites rode dusty horses, and the Northern tourists chugged down the sandy village road in automobiles. The Northerners were peered at cautiously from behind curtains by the (4) timid. The more venturesome would come out on the porch to watch them go past and got just as (5) much pleasure out of the tourists as the tourists got out of the village.During this period, white people (6) differed from the colored to me only in that they rode through town and never (7) lived there. They liked to hear me “speak pieces”and sing and wanted to see me dance, and (8) gave me generously of their small silver for doing these things, which seemed (9) strange to me for I wanted to do them so much that I needed bribing to (10) stop . Only they didn’t know it. The colored people gave no dimes.IV. Translation1. Translating Sentences1)我自己还没有看过，不过大家都认为是一部好片子。

To understand the structure of the text4. To appreciate the style and rhetoric of the passage.Important and difficult points1. What is description?2. The comprehension and appreciation of the words describing sound, colour, light, heat, size and smell.3. The appreciation of the words and expressions used for stress and exaggeration.4. Some useful expressions such as to make a point of, it is a point of honour…, and etcBackground informationThis text is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces (1962), which was intended for students preparing for the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency Examination, & for students in the top class of secondary schools or in the first year of a university course.The Middle Eastern BazaarThe Middle Eastern bazaar takes you back hundreds --- even thousands --- of years. The one I am thinking of particularly is entered by a Gothic - arched gateway of aged brick and stone. You pass from the heat and glare of a big, open square into a cool, darkcavern which extends as far as the eye can see, losing itself in the shadowy distance. Little donkeys with harmoniously tinkling bells thread their way among the throngs of people entering and leavingthe bazaar. The roadway is about twelve feet wide, but it is narrowed every few yards by little stalls where goods of every conceivable kind are sold. The din of the stall-holder; crying their wares, of donkey-boys and porters clearing a way for themselves by shouting vigorously, and of would-be purchasers arguing and bargaining is continuous and makes you dizzy.Then as you penetrate deeper into the bazaar, the noise of the entrance fades away, and you come to the muted cloth-market. The earthen floor, beaten hard by countless feet, deadens the sound of footsteps, and the vaulted mud-brick walls and roof have hardly any sounds to echo. The shop-keepers speak in slow, measured tones, and the buyers, overwhelmed by the sepulchral atmosphere, follow suit .One of the peculiarities of the Eastern bazaar is that shopkeepers dealing in the same kind of goods do not scatter themselves over the bazaar, in order to avoid competition, but collect in the same area, so that purchasers can know where to find them, and so that they can form a closely knit guild against injustice or persecution . In the cloth-market, for instance, all the sellers of material for clothes, curtains, chair covers and so on line the roadway on both sides, each open-fronted shop having a trestle trestle table for display and shelves for storage. Bargaining is the order of the cay, and veiled women move at a leisurely pace from shop to shop, selecting, pricing and doing a little preliminary bargaining before they narrow down their choice and begin the really serious business of beating the price down.It is a point of honour with the customer not to let the shopkeeper guess what it is she really likes and wants until the last moment. If he does guess correctly, he will price the item high, and yield little in the bargaining. The seller, on the other hand, makes a point of protesting that the price he is charging is depriving him of all profit, and that he is sacrificing this because of his personal regard for the customer. Bargaining can go on the whole day, or even several days, with the customer coming and going at intervals .One of the most picturesque and impressive parts of the bazaar is the copper-smiths' market. As you approach it, a tinkling and banging and clashing begins to impinge on your ear. It grows louder and more distinct, until you round a corner and see a fairyland of dancing flashes, as the burnished copper catches the light of innumerable lamps and braziers . In each shop sit the apprentices –boys and youths, some of them incredibly young – hammering away at copper vessels of all shapes and sizes, while the shop-owner instructs, and sometimes takes a hand with a hammer himself. In the background, a tiny apprentice blows a bi-, charcoal fir e with a hugeleather bellows worked by a string attached to his big toe -- the red of the live coals glowing, bright and then dimming rhythmically to the strokes of the bellows.Here you can findbeautiful pots and bowlsengrave with delicate andintricate traditionaldesigns, or the simple,everyday kitchenwareused in this country,pleasing in form, butundecorated and strictlyfunctional. Elsewherethere is the carpet-market,with its profusion of richcolours, varied textures and regional designs -- some bold and simple, others unbelievably detailed and yet harmonious. Then there is the spice-market, with its pungent and exotic smells; and thefood-market, where you can buy everything you need for the most sumptuous dinner, or sit in a tiny restaurant with porters and apprentices and eat your humble bread and cheese. The dye-market, the pottery-market and the carpenters' market lie elsewhere in the maze of vaulted streets which honeycomb this bazaar. Every here and there, a doorway gives a glimpse of a sunlit courtyard, perhaps before a mosque or a caravanserai , where camels lie disdainfully chewing their hay, while the great bales of merchandise they have carried hundreds of miles across the desert lie beside them.Perhaps the most unforgettable thing in the bazaar, apart from its general atmosphere, is the place where they make linseed oil. It is a vast, sombre cavern of a room, some thirty feet high and sixty feet square, and so thick with the dust of centuries that the mudbrick walls and vaulted roof are only dimly visible. In this cavern are three massive stone wheels, each with a huge pole through its centre as an axle. The pole is attached at the one end to an upright post, around which it can revolve, and at the other to a blind-folded camel, which walks constantly in a circle, providing the motive power to turn the stone wheel. This revolves in a circular stone channel, into which an attendant feeds linseed. The stone wheel crushes it to a pulp, which is then pressed to extract the oil .The camels are the largest and finest I have ever seen, and in superb condition –muscular, massive and stately.The pressing of the linseed pulp to extract the oil is done by a vast ramshackle apparatus of beams and ropes and pulleys which towers to the vaulted ceiling and dwarfs the camels and their stonewheels. The machine is operated by one man, who shovels the linseed pulp into a stone vat, climbs up nimbly to a dizzy height to fasten ropes, and then throws his weight on to a great beam made out of a tree trunk to set the ropes and pulleys in motion. Ancient girders girders creak and groan , ropes tighten and then a trickle of oil oozes oozes down a stone runnel into a used petrol can. Quickly the trickle becomes a flood of glistening linseed oil as the beam sinks earthwards, taut and protesting, its creaks blending with the squeaking and rumbling of the grinding-wheels and the occasional grunts and sighs of the camels.(from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation pieces, 1962 )NOTES1) This piece is taken from Advanced Comprehension and Appreciation Pieces, compiled for overseas students by L. A. Hill and D.J.
