Background information1. original sinOriginal Sin, in Christian theology, the universal sinfulness of the human race, traditionally ascribed to the first sin committed by Adam. Sin, in Christian doctrine, is considered a state of alienation or estrangement from God.The Forbidden FruitIn Christian theology, original sin refers to the consequences of the disobedience of Adam and Eve in eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The most important of these consequences was the loss of immortality for Adam and Eve and their descendants. In Christian belief, the effects of original sin are remedied by the sacrificial death of Christ. Here, in the engraving Adam and Eve(1504), by German artist Albrecht Dürer, Eve offers the forbidden fruit to her mate.SalvationSalvation, the idea of being saved, as described in various religions. In Christianity, individuals are thought of as being saved from eternal punishment through Christ's death on the cross. In Buddhism, especially in Chinese and Japanese Buddhism, people can be saved from the endless cycle of reincarnation through bodhisattvas or through Amida Buddha. In Hinduism, especially in the bhakti tradition, devotion to a god can bring salvation from reincarnation and is open to those who have realized their true nature as brahman (spirit).2.the Ten CommandmentsYou shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself carved image…You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain…Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy…Honor your father and your mother…You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not cov et your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s. （Exodus:）除了我以外，你不可有别的神。

A brief summary of the ways to express futurityc.Appreciate the narrative skills demonstrated in the text(the selections of the details, theconversational tone; idiomatic and straightforward writing style; the use of the exaggeration; the frequent use of the verb-preposition and verb-particle combination to make his writing very informald.The writer carried out his New Year’s resolution faithfully to improve himself, but the results allwent contrary to his expectations. Why?III.Teaching Procedures:TEXT I This Year It’s Going to Be DifferentI. Pre-reading QuestionsWhen a person makes New Year’s resolutions, he makes up his mind to do or not to do certain things in the coming year. Of course, different people make different New Year’s resolutions. For example, a student may decide to work harder at his studies and not go to the cinema so often; a teacher may decide to improve his/her teaching; a heavy smoker may decide to stop smoking altogether. Some people may be able to carry out their New Year’s resolutions, but some may not. For most People, it’s often easier to make New Year’s resolutions than to carry them out.It is suggested that the students should first guess without being given any part of the story.II. The Main IdeaThe statement that best sums up the main idea is (3): “The writer carried out his New Year’s resolution faithfully to improve himself, but the results all went contrary to his expectations.”III. Teaching Points for Reference1. A brief summary of the ways to express futurity1) The neutral future is formed by using the auxiliaries will/ shall and infinitive.Examples:Tomorrow will be his Sunday. (Level 3, Unit 3)Is it possible to make an atomic engine that will be really safe in every circumstance?(Level3,Unit 6)2) The construction to be going to is used to express future intention.Examples:This year it is going to be different.I know what the kids are going to do.Note: This construction cannot be used for neutral futurity, which does not depend on any person’s will or intention. For Example, both the following sentences are wrong.* Tomorrow is going to be his Sunday.* If you go to the U.S.A., you are going to come across the remarkable, almost legendaryhospitality of the American of the West.3) The construction be to do (something) is used to express arrangement or command.Examples:Now let all men know that crops are to be planted as usual. (Level 3, Unit 11)Shaka ordered: “All women who are found with child are to be put to death with their husbands.”4) The construction be about to is used to express near future.Examples:Roy and Sammy were about to perform open-heart surgery on Mrs. Robinson with a scoutknife.=Roy and Sammy were just going to do an open-heart operation on Mrs. Robinson witha scout knife.She was about to tell us the truth when you entered the building.2. The use of over in the text1) I tiptoed over and kissed her on the back of the neck.Over adv. ：across a distance or open space, either towards or away from someone/something.More examples:We asked Kate’s two sailor friends over to help us gain our point indirectly.Go over to your Grandmother, my dear. She’s beckoning to you.2)“What did you do over the holidays?”over prep.—during, in the course of (a period or an event)More examples:She likes to listen to some light music over the weekend.Paul has become more mature over the years.3) To ease the situation, I picked up her brand-new sweater from the floor and put it over a chair.Over prep. —resting on top of something and covering something partly or completelyMore examples:John was so tired that he was found sprawling on the floor asleep with his dripping raincoatover a sofa.4) Take over one of your wife’s chores, she’ll love you for it.Take over—take charge ofMore examples:The firm became more and more prosperous after the son took it over.We expect Mr. Johnson will take over our class when Mr. Shaw retires.3.“It wasn’t my idea to stay out until four a.m.”The phrase one’s idea to do something is used to express what one wishes to do.More examples:It was not my idea to argue with them. What I wanted was only to seek the truth from facts.4. Instead, I got a pencil and drew a sketch of the escapement mechanism.draw—make a picture with a pen, pencil or chalkdraw a sketch—make a rough picture (drawing, diagram) with a pencilMore examples:Fancy him drawing so well at the age of five.She cherished the sketch of the roaring sea not because it was drawn by a famous artist but because it brought back some fond memories.Cf.: By now the kids were in the room, drawn by the commotion.be drawn by the commotion——be attracted by the noisy confusion.Here, draw means “attract”.More examples：The film that tells of the unusual faithfulness between a miner and his wife drew large audiences when it was on.Supermarkets, which were unknown to the Chinese people some years ago, have begun to draw large numbers of customers in many cities in China.5. She was in her pajamas.—She was wearing her pajamas.in—wearingMore examples：Jimmy Wells, the policeman in uniform, with his stalwart form and slight swagger, made a fine picture of a guardian of the peace.Now the fashion is for girls to be dressed in pure silk in summer and in expensive fur coats in winter.6. Maggie always dreads taking down the Christmas tree, so I thought I’d to it for her.1) dread—feel worried about. Dread is followed by an-ing participle.Another example：Small children usually dread paying a visit to the dentist.It is also correct to say:Small children usually dread a visit to the dentist.Small children usually dread that they will be taken to the dentist.2) take down the Christmas tree—take down the tinsel, coloured lights, etc., from the Christmas tree,and remove the tree itself. The antonym for take down is put up.More examples:It often takes a long time to take down a Christmas tree.When they went camping last summer, they had a good time. Every evening they put up their tent and the following morning they took it down.7. I was about two-thirds done when Maggie came in. —I had finished about two-thirds of the work…done—finishedTwo-thirds serves as an adverbial modifying done.More examples:His new novel is about two-fifths thicker than his previous one.At the end of last year the construction project was already four-fifths finished.Unit 2(7 hours)I. Teaching objectivesa. Have a basic understanding of salvation in the text.b. Understand the purpose of the writer in the article.c. Appreciate the writing techniques and rhetorical devices.d. Learn language points.e. Oral speaking practiceII. Teaching emphasisa. Vocabulary: salvation, revival, bring the lamb to the fold, escortb. Appreciate the stylistic features (ironic title; repetitions for creating a tense atmosphere; vividdescriptions).c. Understand how did the writer achieve the ironic effect?II.Teaching Procedures:TEXT I SalvattionI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe purpose of asking the students to look up the given words is two-fold: to provide them with clues about the religious content of the text and to supply them with adequate background information. Try not to give the students any extra information or they may lose interest in the passage. It is always best for the students to solve their own problems by themselves.Definitions of words as used in the Christian religion:salvation—the state of having one’s soul saved from sin and its consequences 灵魂的拯救save—set free from the power of or from the eternal punishment for sinsin—breaking of God’s laws, disobedience to God’s commandmentsrevival—series of meetings intended to produce an increase in interest in religion, or to stir up the religious faith among those who have been indifferent, usually by preaching and confession ofsins（鼓动性的）福音布道会lamb—young members of church flock or Christian congregationfold—body of believers in the Christian religionII. The Main IdeasThe statement that best sums up the main ideas is (1)：“After having through a painful process, the child was finally saved from sin, but instead of feeling joyous, he felt miserable because of his disillusionment.”III. VocabularyA. Guessing the meanings of words and phrases1. speak (usually silently) to God, showing love, giving thanks or asking for something2. was taken3. low sound of pain or suffering4. terrible5. go down and / or remain on the knees6. very dark / shiny black7. shook / moved gently8. calml9. smil broadly10. make somebody believe something that is falseB. Looking up words in a dictionary1. give a religious talk, usually as part of a service in church2. very quickly3. marked by regular succession of weak and strong stresses, accents, sounds or movements (in speech,music, dancing, etc.)4. a talk usually based on a sentence or “verse”from the Bible and preached as part of a churchservice.5. twisted together into one plait (here, of hair)6. (of hands and fingers) twisted, with swollen joints and rough skin as from hard work or old age.7. a person who lives a vicious life; a habitual drunkard8. use God’s name in cursing; speak of God without respect9. (here) interrupt from time to time with something10. causing great joy and happiness.IV. Teaching Points for Reference1. … and the membership of the church had grown…membership—number of members; all membersMore examples:The drama society in our school has a large membership.The membership of our self-taught group has grown by leaps and bounds this summer because of the young people’s thirst for knowledge.2. … all moans and shouts and lonely cries and dire pictures of hell,…Lonely means “having no companionship”and indicates the “state of mind of one being or feeling alone.”Lonely may also be applied to places which are unfrequented or remote from human habitation. More examples:With the development of the travel business, swarms of tourists now visit the newly discovered cave in the once lonely mountainous area.The retired worker is not living a lonely life since she has so much work to do in the neighborhood and since there is so much warmth and care at home.3. Finally all the young people had gone to the altar and were saved, but one boy and me. but—except More examples:He is talking about everything but the most important thing.I have been to all the important scenic spots in Hangzhou but the Yellow Dragon Cave.4. Then I was left all alone on the mourners’ bench.Alone means “by oneself”.More examples:He lives entirely alone and is very lonely.In this war of liberation we shall not be alone.Better be alone than in bad company.Lonely differs from alone in that it usually means experiencing or producing a feeling of isolation and sadness whereas alone does not. Moreover, lonely is used both attributively and predicatively, alone only predicatively.5.“Langston,”my aunt sobbed.sob—draw in the breath sharply and irregularly from sorrow or pain while crying 啜泣，呜咽More examples:“Oh, don’t leave me, don’t leave me!”She began to sob passionately.A feeling of infinite regret came over him, as he saw her lying in bed sobbing like a child. Shewouldn’t have failed in the experiment if he had given her timely support.Cf.: And the little girls cried.To cry is to express grief or pain or sorrow by making mournful sounds and shedding tears.哭泣More examples:So he cried quite alone for a long time till he at last cried himself to sleep.It is no use crying over spilt milk.Cf.: Tom allowed himself to weep tears, they were tears of anger.Weep stresses the shedding of tears.The difference between weep and cry is that crying is audible and accompanied with tears, but to weep usually refers to the silent shedding of tears.More examples:She didn’t weep over the death of her son who died a heroic death but devoted herself to the noble work that her son had been doing.Taking the boy to her breast, she rocked him in her arms, and wept silently over him.6. So I decided that maybe to save further trouble, I’d better lie, too, and say that Jesus had come, and get up and be saved.s ave—make unnecessary; relieve (somebody) from the need of using 免得，节省More examples:She went to the food shop to buy some cooked meat to save her time and energy / to save her cooking.Labor-saving gadgets such as potato peelers and nut-crackers save us a lot of time.Cf.: save—free (a person) from the power or effect of evil (sin) in Christianity and some other religions 拯救7. Suddenly the whole room broke into a sea of shouting, as they saw me rise.break into—begin suddenly to give voice toMore examples:When the crowd saw the prize-fighter stretched out on the canvas, they broke into shouts and cheers.They broke into laughter when they saw my clownish dress.Unit 3(7 hours)1.Teaching objectivesa.Have a basic understanding of “read between the lines” and “write between the lines”.b.Understand the writer’s logic of writing: how did the writer persuade the reader to writedown in the book he is reading.c.Appreciate the writing techniques: Comparison, Simile and Metaphord.Learn language points.e.Oral speaking practice2.Teaching emphasisa.Vocabulary: Mutilation; dilapidated; integral ;unblemished; receptacle:b.Sentence: And marking a book is literally an expression of ...c.Writing techniques: comparison and metaphor3.Teaching procedures:TEXT ⅠWriting Between the LinesI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe dictionary definition of read between the lines is：“find more meaning than the words appear to express; gather more meanings from a text that are not actually stated, but implied”. Write between the lines is not a set phrase. The writer has invented this phrase by following the pattern of the set phrase read between the lines and replacing read with write to stress the importance of writing notes and comments in the book one is reading. In spite of the word “writing”in the title, this essay is actually a piece of good advice on how to “read”efficiently.II. The Main IdeasAnswer for reference:The writer is trying to persuade the reader to write down in the book he is reading his reactions to the text. The reader’s reactions may include his questions, his agreements or differences of opinion with the author, his doubts and so on. In this way the reader will be doing the most efficient kind of reading. III. VocabularyA. Guessing the meanings of words1. argue, claim2. destruction3. buying4. ownership5. move from one place to another6. (of books and papers) having the corners of the pages turned up or down with use so that they looklike a dog’s ears7. whole because no part has been touched or spoilt8. absolutely essential9. loosely joined sheets of paper (a pad) for writing notes10. to be treated with great respectB. Looking up words in a dictionary1. plainly, directly2. hold back (from doing something)3. broken and old; falling to pieces4. write hastily or carelessly5. not spoiled, as new6. pencil of soft colored chalk or wax, used for drawing7. a musical work for a large group of instruments8. the arrangement, style and appearance of printed matter9. humble state of mind10. a containerIV. Teaching Points for Reference1. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. = Only when you have made it apart of yourself does full ownership come.Note that when only when is used to begin a sentence, the second part of the sentence is in inverted order.More examples:People were made aware of the dangers of pollution by insecticides only when Rachel Carson published her book Silent Spring. =Only when … were people made aware of …You are likely to do the most efficient kind of reading only when you write between the lines.(=Only when… are you likely to…)2. Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading?be indispensable to—be essential to; be necessary in; be too important to live withoutMore examples:Just as water is vital to fish, air is indispensable to man.A good basic education, an insatiable curiosity in people and events, a certain tenacity of purpose,an ability to write clearly, honestly and accurately and a knowledge of state laws are the requirements indispensable to a good radio journalist.3. Now an ordinary piece of light fiction like, say, Gone With the Wind, does not require the most active kind of reading. But a great book rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises and tries to answer great fundamental questions, demands the most active reading of which you are capable.1) rich in—possessing or containing a lot (of)More examples:Contrary to what some Western experts predicted, China is not deficient but rich in oil.This art gallery is rich in paintings by all types of painters; there are works of Classicism, Realism, Expressionism, Abstractionism, Romanticism and Naturalism.2) require—needdemand—call for as necessary; require; needIn the two sentences quoted above, the two words, require and demand mean the same and can be used interchangeably. In another sense, however, demand implies asking for (something) as if ordering (something) one has a right to, whereas require suggests a pressing, often an inherent need.More examples:The Board of Directors will meet this afternoon. Your presence at the meeting is required.The assistant at the reception desk demanded his passport when the man wanted a double room.3) be capable of—have the power or ability to doMore examples:The reconstruction of Tangshan from ashes has shown the world what the people in Tangshan are capable of.Chinese doctors working in Third-World countries and regions have trained many local experts who are now capable of doing operations using acupuncture anesthesia.4. But don’t let anybody tell you that a reader is supposed to be solely on the receiving end. be supposed to…—be expected to…; be required toMore examples:Peter is down with the measles and is supposed to be lying in bed but he is already up and about.In the second scene, where she was supposed to face the company in the ball-room, she did even better, causing a smile to appear on the face of the director.5. Presumably he knows more about the subject…—Probably / It is taken for granted that he knows more about the subject…presumably—supposedly (to be true), it may be reasonable to suppose thatExample:To everyone’s disappointment John was absent from the meeting. Presumably he was busy with his new project.Interaction ActivitiesThe Way I Do My ReadingSuggestions:1. Before starting to read:1) read the Contents page of the book,2) have a quick look at the chapter headings,3) have a glance at the Index which is helpful for specific information.2. Skimming and scanning:1) Skimming is a reading skill you use when you want to get the main idea of a book—(1) read the introduction, usually the opening paragraph of a chapter,(2) read the conclusion, usually the final paragraph of a chapter,(3) read very quickly, skip or leave out small portions of the material in order to get the main ideas. 2) Scanning is a reading skill you use when you want to check quickly whether a text you are readingcontains information you need—(1) think of some key words connected with the information you need—look quickly down the pageto see if you can spot any of them; if you do, read the sentences around them to check if you information is what you need;(2) look for chapter headings / paragraph headings; words in bold type / words underlined —theygive you a lot of quick information about the contents of the reading matter,(3) if the information you need is in a book, look at the list of contents and the indexes.3. Note-taking:(1) Write down important points, the points relevant to your needs, sometimes useful expressions tohelp improve your language,(2) Underline, use symbols or write between the lines, in the margins, or the end papers, or on ascratch pad or in a notebook,(3) sort out the main points, which will help to focus on the reading as well as to provide a summary.4. 1) Textbooks: slow speed, less than 100 wpm (words per minute) for intensive reading, study andremember.2) Fiction: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for entertainment.3) Non-fiction: average speed, 150-200 wpm, reading for special purposes.4) Newspapers: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for information.5) Magazines: fast speed, 200-250 wpm, reading for information or entertainment.Unit 4(7 hours)1.Teaching objectivesa.Have a basic understanding of Journalistic style report.b.Understand t he writer’s logic of writing: How Berners-Lee’s life and work help him to createwww.c.Appreciate the writing techniques: Journalistic style; up-dated language; technical terms;concrete information; special order of organization)d.Learn language pointse.Oral speaking Practice2.Teaching emphasisa.Vocabulary: zip off; unencumbered; nifty; noodle around; lingua franca ; debut, cobble together;cash in onb.Understand the organization of the text.c.Understand journalistic styleTEXT I Network Designer-Tim Berners-LeeI. Pre-reading QuestionsThe students may be asked a number of questions such as the following before they make their guesses.1. What nationality is Tim Berners-Lee?2. Is he a university graduate?3. When did he begin to take an interest in the computer?4. Did he work in a research institute specializing in computer science?5. Was he given the assignment of designing the World Wide Web or did he hit upon the idea just byaccident?6. What was it that made WWW a reality?II. The Main IdeasAnswers for reference:1. Access to the Internet which gives people information of all kinds seems a matter of course.2. World Wide Web, which began as a little computer program nearly 20 years ago, was the work of TimBerners-Lee alone.3. Having designed a kind of “hypertext”notebook which linked various kinds of information on hisown computer, Berners-Lee wanted to open it up to everyone who would like to link their stuff to his.4. Berners-Lee devised HTML, URL and HTTP, all of which finally brought the World Wide Web tofruition in 1991.5. Brought up as a quintessential child of the computer age, Berners-Lee created a most significantglobal system.6. In spite of his Gutenbergian creation of the WWW, Berners-Lee chose the non-profit road, both forhimself and for his creation.II. Teaching Points for Reference1. It turns out you can “enquire”about nearly anything…—It happens that you can ask about almostanything…Turn out meaning “happen to be, or be found to be”is usually followed by a noun or an adjective. It may also be followed by a that clause. Examples:Much to his disappointment, his experiment turned out a failure.After a long spell of rain, it turned out to be fine and sunny on the day of our sports meet.It turned out that the unexpected visitor was one of my mother’s former students.2. …access to the Internet—the opportunity to use the Internet. Access meaning “the means or opportunity or right to use or see something”is followed by the preposition to.Examples:In a university library, we have access to large numbers of academic books.In our country every child has access to education.3. Thomas Edison got credit for the light bulb—Thomas Edison received recognition for the light bulb. Credit for something is the recognition or respect or praise given to someone because of something they have done or achieved. Examples:We gave Wang credit for his remarkable achievements in biotechnology.Tim Berners-Lee should be given credit for the creation of WWW.Credit should go to Frank for the team’s success.4. It started, of all places, in the Swiss Alps.Of all places, of all things, or of all people are used to suggest that a particular place, thing, or person seems surprising or unlikely when there are many other places where something might happen, many other things which might be expected to be done, or many other people who might be present or be doing something. Examples:Of all places, they went vacationing in an unknown village.Of all things, she bought an ordinary bowl as a souvenir.I can’t understand why she, of all people, should speak to us about how to use the computer.5. … that dealt with information in a “brain-like”way —that handled information in the way as the brain does. Deal with is used in different ways with different meanings.Examples:Mark is very smart. He can deal with (handle) all kinds of difficult situations.Recently I read an article which dealt with (concerned / was concerned with) the latest developments in computer science.Be cautious about what kind of business firms you deal with (do business with).6. keep track of all the random associations one comes across…Keep track of means “keep oneself informed about something”or “pay attention to something so thatone knows what is happening.”Example:We read newspapers every day to keep track of current events.The opposite of keep track of is lose track of. Example:We’ve lost track of him since he left Shanghai for home.Random means “unplanned, unintentional, aimless, purposeless, etc.”Examples: While everyone was discussing the question seriously, John made a few random remarks now and then.He was whiling away his time by putting down some random thoughts on paper.At random is used adverbially. Examples:He put the books on the bookshelves at random (i.e., without putting them in any order).She chose a number of books at random to lend to her neighbor.7. The rest of the world may be trying to cash in on the Web’s phenomenal growth…—Other people may be trying to take advantage of or make a profit from the unusually fast development of the Web… Cash in on means “take advantage of or make a profit from a situation in a way that is unfair.”Example: The only shop in that out-of-the-way village cashed in on the shortage of everyday necessities by putting up prices.Oral WorkI.

▪ V. For you to understand better ▪ 在开放的现代社会，跨文化的言语交际显得愈发重要，已经成为现代交际中引人注目的一个特点。交际中的文化
差异随处可见，言语环境中的文化因素受到普遍重视。下面是英汉文化中十大常见差异。 1．回答提问 中国人对别人的问话，总是以肯定或否定对方的话来确定用“对”或者“不对”。如： “我想你不到20岁，对吗？” “是的，我不到20岁。” （“不，我已经30岁了。”） 英语中，对别人的问话，总是依据事实结果的肯定或否定用“Yes”或者“No”。如： “You're not a student，are you？” “Yes，I am．” （“No，I am not．”） 2．亲属称谓 英语的亲属以家庭为中心，一代人为一个称谓板块，只区别男性、女性，却忽视配偶双方因性别不同而出现
