Unit 1 Love新编大学英语第二版第二册教案
Unit 1 LoveUseful InformationWhether it is a mother’s nurturing love for her child, a son’s loyal love for his father, the love between husband and wife, or the love between friends, love is a universal emotion that expresses itself in every culture. To love is to be human. To need love is also to be human. Children, for example, need loving care in order to be emotionally healthy.Love is a deep feeling of fondness, affection and friendship that grows between two people. Romantic love usually begins as passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense of attachment. Many of the famous romantic love stories in various cultures end in the tragedies of death or betrayal. The loss of love is a favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories, operas, songs, and ballads.The verb “like” is not as strong as the verb “love” and generally does not imply deep emotions. “Like” means to find pleasure or satisfaction in something or someone: I like eating at the restaurant; My son likes his teacher. In English, the word “love” is often used informally instead of “like” in an intensified sense: He loves music; Children love ice-cream; She loves her new job. However, “love” and “like” are not totally interchangeable. It is often the context that indica tes the strength of the word “love”. The verb “love” should not be used in the first person, when speaking to another person, except in romantic situations (I love you). When in doubt as to which verb to use, it is better to use “like” with an adverb: I li ke your dress a lot; I really like my professor; His boss liked his proposal immensely.Part One Preparation2. Can You Tell the Difference?Sample 1It’s true that motherly love is unconditional. I believe what I’ve got from my mother is the deepest love I’ve ever received. When I was at home, mother took good care of me and did what she could to meet my needs. For example, she remembered all my birthdays and bought nice birthday gifts for me, but she never celebrated hers. At home she woke me up in the morning after she had prepared breakfast. Sometimes she even combed my hair while I was having breakfast so that I could get to school on time. She treated my classmates kindly when they were with me. I know that’s because they were my good friends. Now I’m away from home, she calls me every two or three days asking about my college life and what she can do for me. It seems that my life is much more important than hers.As for fa therly love, I’m not sure if his love is conditional, but obviously it’s different from mother’s love. Father also loves me very much. He pays more attention to my education and what I’m going to be in future. He doesn’t care much about my daily life, but asks me to keep him informed of my study and progress. During my last year in high school, he was unusually patient with me. He encouraged me when I wasn’t doing well at school and helped me when I had difficulties. Father must have been a math wizard in his school days. He seemed to know all the solutions to my math problems and could point out my weaknesses. Following his instructions, I began to feel interested in math myself.Sample 2I think there’s something in his statements, although it’s hard for m e to identify whose love is fatherly and whose love is motherly in the case of my parents. Unlike most mothers in the world, my mother has been very strict with me. Maybe she thinks a boy should develop a strong, tough and persistent personality to be able to get around in this competitive world. She pays a lot of attention to my study and has been concerned with my progress. Although she didn’t receive higher education herself, she believes it is essential to me and hopes I can continue my study after I finish the undergraduateprogram. When I didn’t do well in school, mother would ask me to reflect on my failure and see how I could do better the next time. Mother would be very angry if I argued for my problem or covered any of my wrong doings. Several times when I was in my junior high school, I doubted that I was her biological son.On the other hand, my father has been very kind to me. He knows my needs and does his best to satisfy them. When mother criticized me, father would comfort me afterwards. When father had something good, he would ask me if I needed it. I still remember father bought me a lot of toys in my childhood, such as toy vehicles and robots. And he bought me a lot of books during my school years. Father even made a few of his business trips during my vacations so that he could take me with him to see the places. Now father always looks forward to my going back home before holidays. Each time he would offer me the nice things he has bought or received since I last saw him and feel very happy if I take any of them. I also enjoy his company very much, feeling secure and relaxed. That’s why I often think I have the best father in the world.3. Someone You Love MostSample 1I love my mother most, because she’s always very kind to me, unlike my father who will scold me or slap me if I make mistakes or if I am naughty. My mother is an ordinary-looking woman, but in my eyes she is very beautiful. She is very hard-working, and does almost all the housework. When I was working for the entrance examination, she was very thoughtful and never let me do any housework. When I didn’t do a good job in school, she would encourage me and hope I would do better next time. When I was hungry at night, she would fix a snack for me. She is a good cook, now it’s a pity that I am not able to have what she cooks because I am far away from home.Sample 2I spent my childhood with my grandfather because my parents were too busy to take care of me at that time. Now I often visit him, especially in holidays. He’s a very kind and knowledgeable person. He reads a lot and knows so much about the history of our country. Before I could read, he told me many interesting stories: stories about Monkey King, heroes in The Three Kingdoms and Water Margins, etc. When I was in the e lementary school, he began to buy books for me and that’s why reading is always my hobby.I believe I owe a great deal to my grandfather for my growth, physical and intellectual. He’s been taking good care of me and I often feel I’m lucky to have such a ki nd, thoughtful, intelligent and generous grandfather.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI.Pre-Reading1. I feel pity towards those who are disabled. I wonder how they can manage in their daily life and whether they have a job. I feel lucky that I’m not disabled.2. Yes. My aunt is deaf and dumb. She has been like this since her childhood. My grandmother said that she became deaf because of taking the wrong medicine. She is now more than seventy years old and she has never been married. She was very kind to me. In fact it was she who brought me up. She often felt it was unfair because she couldn’t hear. But she is very intelligent, and she is good at sewing. She sometimes kidded me with gestures that she wanted to cut off her ears becaus e they didn’t work.II. Passage ReadingNotes:1. There are five districts in N.Y. They are also called five boroughs. They are: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Central Park and Harlem are both located in Manhattan. Brooklyn is located just across the river from Manhattan.2. The subway station uses tokens and they cost about 50 cents each.3. Baseball is an outdoor game between two teams of nine players, in which players try to get points by hitting a ball and running around four bases. It is one of the most popular games in the United States.Words, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. …I was embarrassed to be seen with my father(l.1)This can be paraphrased as “I was embarrassed when the others saw me together with my father”.2. despite (l.9)e.g. Despite all our efforts to save the school, the County decided to close it.She went to Spain despite the fact that the doctor had told her to rest.同义词组：in spite ofe.g. We went out in spite of the rain.Kelly loved her husband in spite of the fact that he drank too much.3. ice-free 类似的词有：a salt-free diet, a trouble-free journey, duty-free, rent-free 等(l.14)4. …nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. (l.20)这是一句用“nor”引导的倒装句。

Unit 6 Food新编大学英语第二版第二册教案
Unit 6 FoodUseful InformationFood is a basic necessity, so every culture has important norms and customs related to it. Ever since they adopted settled lifestyles centuries or millennia ago, most cultures have emphasized daily meals in households or family units. Some members provide the food, some members prepare the food, and all members must eat. The providers and the preparers may not be the same, depending partly on gender roles and specialization. And the status of individuals in the eating process may not be the same, depending partly on their age and gender, and whether the household contains servants or guests. Servants rarely eat with others, while honored guests may be wined and dined like visiting royalty. Elders and males may also be treated ceremonially.Formal meals may take hours in some cultures or households, while in others people may eat hastily while traveling to their next destination on foot or by car. Some people eat while working or use eating as a form of recreation. In most cultures the feeding of friends, relatives, and others is a way of meeting, socializing, entertaining, and showing respect. Some cultures permit or encourage the use of alcoholic or caffeinated beverages with food, while others discourage or even prohibit this. Most cultures have food preferences and food taboos, so they find different ways to achieve balanced diets.Eating away from home in restaurants, taverns, inns, or hotels has long been an option in most cultures, but the variety of these choices is rapidly increasing today as the fast pace of modern life encourages more people to “eat on the run”. This also tends to blur the traditional distinction between providers and preparers of food, especially in families where both parents work full-time outside the home. In such cases both parents may eat out at noon, the children may eat at school, and anyone may pick up pizza or hamburgers on the way home or phone for pizza to be delivered. In the U.S., Chinese restaurants do a big take-out business and microwa ved “TV dinners” are very popular. Some busy families rarely eat formal meals together, even when they all eat at home. Refrigeration has also changed eating habits, and “raiding the refrigerator” is often a substitute for preparing meals. As eating habits have changed, table manners have tended to decline, though proper etiquette is still needed on formal occasions.Mealtimes differ considerably from culture to culture or from household to household. In agrarian cultures rural families tend to eat their first two meals earlier in the day, while in industrial cultures urban families often have them later. The time of the third meal depends on several factors such as whether there is a nap after lunch and whether food or beverages are typically consumed in the mid-to-late afternoon as snacks or social events.In some cultures “tea” in the afternoon is almost a fourth meal. Some people have their supper in the late afternoon or early evening, while others may have it in the mid-to-late evening. For some people the second meal of the day is the largest, while for others the third meal is the largest. This causes considerable confusion as to whether lunch or supper is more appropriately referred to as “dinner.” Further confusion is caused by people who skip brea kfast and others who prefer “brunch” instead. Brunch is especially popular on weekends, when it may last from mid-morning to early afternoon.The biggest recent change in eating habits and food-related lifestyles is the advent of fast food. This permits many people to eat conveniently away from home, or to bring food home to eat without having to prepare it. But it also makes family-style meals less likely to be, and it is not always very nutritious. The clever marketing of fast food such as McDonald’s ha mburgers and KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) may cause some youngsters to dislike their parents’ cooking and some college students to dislike the more nutritious food available on campus. Eating fast food while driving is also a cause of traffic accidents. So ciologist George Ritzer uses the metaphor of “McDonaldization” to criticize the entire cultural trend toward standardized pre-packaged products which can be quickly consumed. He claims the quality of life is diminished by what he calls the “McDonaldization of society,” and that we should voice our protest by eating in local “mom and pop” restaurants rather than patronizing national or international fast-food chains. Despite Ritzer’s advice, McDonald’s and other fast-food chains are probably here to stay. They are getting more similar to one another all the time, with hamburger chains offering chicken, chicken chains offering hamburgers, and all of them offering milk shakes and fries.Nutritionists have been warning that the typical fast-food diet is unhealthy if eaten too often. Consequently, some of the fast-food chains, such as McDonald’s, are now including healthier options for their customers along with the traditional hamburgers. Various healthy salads are now appearing on the menu boards, along with low fat salad dressing options. For children, fresh apple slices with a low fat caramel dipping sauce can now be chosen in the place of French fries in the children’s meal, and apple juice or low fat white and chocolate milk can be chosen instead of a cola. Bottled water also can now be purchased instead of a soft drink if one so chooses. Most people believe that this trend of healthier eating will continue.Part One Preparation2. How Much Do You Know about Food?1. A2. B3. C4. C5. B6. A7. C8. B9. C 10. A3. Comparing DietsSTEP ONESamples1) --This is not a healthy diet. First, he eats too much. Second, he has too much sugar, which may change into fat and accumulate in the body.--This is generally speaking a healthy diet. Apart from the fact that the food is too much for a 10-year-old boy, his diet includes most of the nutrients necessary for a healthy body.2) Diet of a 10-year-old Chinese boy on a typical day:Breakfast: one or two pieces of bread, one egg, a cup of milk, etc.;Lunch: rice, fish or meat, vegetables, etc. (or noodles);Supper: rice, fish or meat, vegetables, soup, etc.;Snacks during the day: some fruit, candies, chocolates, drinks, etc.3) Differences between the British boy and a Chinese boy:A. The British boy eats a wider variety of things.B. The British boy eats much more than a Chinese boy.STEP TWOSamples1) Different DietsAt school:Student ABreakfast: two steamed rolls (or baozi), some porridgeLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: an apple or a pear, some biscuitsStudent BBreakfast: a cup of milk, one boiled egg, some rice cakesLunch: rice, fish or meat, some vegetablesSupper: rice, fish or meat, some vegetables; noodles; or jiaozi (dumplings)Snacks during the day: some biscuits, cookies, or cakes, some preserved fruit.At home (for both):A much wider variety of foods like seafood, more snacks, more fruit, etc.2) Advice on the improvement of the diet:A. Student B should have some fruit every day; otherwise the lack of vitamin C may cause sickness.B. Student A should drink some milk every day, since milk provides certain minerals, vitamins, etc., which are necessary for a healthy body.C. Both students should add some variety in their diets, because different foods contain different nutrients the body needs. Besides, their diets at school and at home shouldn’t be too different.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesIn-Class ReadingI. Pre-ReadingSamples:1. ― I like fresh fruit, vegetables, pork, seafood, all kinds of nuts, etc.. I don’t l ike beef, lamb, chicken and pickles.― Although I’m not a vegetarian, I like vegetables and fruit most. I eat a lot of them. I also like seafood because I was born in a city on the coast. I’ve been exposed to seafood ever since my childhood. I don’t eat me at, any kind of meat.2. ― The reason why I eat certain foods or don’t eat certain foods is simple: taste. In other words, I eat what tastes good, and don’t eat what doesn’t. But there is one exception. I’ve never tried snake because I’m scared by the c reature. The mere mention of the word “snake” makes my skin crawl.― I think our eating habits were formed at home when we were very young. For example, my mother is an excellent cook, especially good at cooking seafood and vegetables. I ate a lot of them at home. Gradually I’ve become used to this diet.3. Yes. People in Guangzhou eat rats, snakes and many other birds or animals. It is said that they eat anything with 2 legs except human beings and anything with 4 legs except tables. Although it is an exaggeration, it shows they really eat a wide range of things. Many people think that’s strange because rats and snakes are nauseating. I also find eating raw fish strange, because I think raw fish contains a lot of bacteria.II. Passage ReadingWords, Phrases and Grammatical Points1. be sick (l.5), vomit, nauseate (l.3)“Be sick” can mean “feel ill as if one is going to vomit”.e.g. She was sick after she ate too much chocolate.Lucy felt sick (= felt likely to vomit) the morning after the party.Other uses include: airsick, carsick, seasick.“Nauseate” comes from the word “nausea” which means “a feeling of illness in the stomach, often making one feel as if one is going to vomit.” It’s a formal word and often used in passive form.e.g. He is nauseated by the smell of meat cooking.“Vomit” means “bring food or drink up from one’s stomach through one’s mouth, because one is sick.”In spoken English, “be sick” is more often used to mean “throw up all the contents in the stomach through the mouth” than “be generally ill”.e.g. If one eats too many sweets one will be sick.The more formal word in British and American English is “vomit”, and the less formal expression is “throw up”.Compare: be sick of … (=be very annoyed about…) 对……感到厌烦的e.g. I’m sick of the way you’re behaving.2. The term “sacred cow” (l. 23) is also used derogatorily to refer to an idea, practice, etc. that is so much accepted that not even the slightest doubts about it are allowed.e.g. I) The need for secrecy has become a kind of sacred cow.II) They did not dare to challenge the sacred cow of parliamentary democracy.2) ―When I see people eat things I don’t like, my first reaction is disgust. I just can’t understand how people can eat such nauseating things. Sometimes I feel that people are cruel when they eat some animals which are a help to human beings.―I don’t mind what other people prefer eating. People can have different likes and dislikes in different aspects. Nowadays a variety of foods are available in most places of the country and people can have a good choice. Many of us even enjoy foods from other countries. But we have to think about our environment as well as health before eating. Sars has already taught us a good lesson in eating.Vocabulary1. 1) common 2) appropriate 3) forbidden 4) supplies 5) related 6) evidence 7) requires 8) raise 9) spread 10) sufficiently2. 1) disgusting 2) habit 3) insects 4) reasonable 5)relatively6) animals 7) harvested 8) grow 9) nearly 10) other11) altogether 12) consumed 13) avoided 14) popular 15) offers16) served 17) would 18) enjoyed 19) considered 20) reject3. 1) G 2) F 3) B 4) C 5) H 6) E 7) I 8) D 9) A 10) JTranslation1.

Culture also includes the languages and dialects that people use to expresstheir feelings and to communicate with each other. It is often difficult to dissociate language and culture since, in most cases, language is the main medium through which culture is transmitted.Most people feel that it is impossible to really know a culture without speaking the language. In some immigrant populations in North America, however, the original language has been lost but customs and traditions are still maintained.Although many cultures in the world have remained isolated for centuries, commerce and trade have often been the source of all sorts of cultural exchanges, ranging from foods to tools.Chinese porcelain and other inventions reached Europe thanks to the silk route, for example.However, cultural exchanges have not always been fair or balanced. The native populations of North and South America were decimated by disease and alcohol brought by the Europeans.Throughout history, wars and political decisions have destroyed cultures and forced people to adopt the language and the customs of the dominate civilization.It is often assumed that if a culture is technologically advanced, it must be superior or that ifa culture is young it must be inferior. Everyone tends to make value judgments about othercultures. Finding fault with or making fun of other customs and beliefs is often merely a way of bolstering our complacency or our pride. It is certainly much easier to learn about other cultures if one approaches them with an open mind and if one respects differences rather than criticizing them. Often something that appears strange or unusual in another culture is in fact very logical and part of a deeply rooted tradition. What might seem rude in one culture might seem perfectly normal and acceptable in another culture. Tolerance and curiosity are key factors in all cross-cultural learning experiences.Although modern transportation and communications have reduced the world to a …global village‟, there are still many fascinating cultural differences to explore. Discovering ho w people from other regions or other countries see the world can be an enriching experience. Tasting new foods, listening to different music, and studying the architecture or the literature of other cultures can open up new perspectives on life.Customs1)customs in JapanThe Japanese are noted for their courtesy. They bow all the time and repeatedly. Japanese who greet people from the west often try to do two things at once. They try to bow to follow localcustoms. They shake hands, they also move their body up and down as if they are bowing. It looks like they are trying to pump water from an old pump at a well.2)ritual“R itual” refers to the things people unanimously do or day when parting.II.Suggested Class Activities:1.

Book II Unit 2 Communication ProblemsTeaching Objectives:In this unit students are required to:1)get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit .2) do some preparation activities such as discussion, group work, etc. to practice their spoken skill andcommunicative skills;3) grasp some new words and try to use these words which help them to enrich their vocabulary;4) read the in-class reading passage in a limited time and grasp some expressions and grammatical points in the in-class reading passage to improve their reading comprehension;5) do some post-reading exercises and some after-class reading to practice what they have got to know in class to improve their English comprehensive skills.;6) translate some typical sentences into Chinese or English by using some expressions learned in the reading passages to acquire some translating skills and better their translating abilities.Student Level: Grade 2005 level 1 2005-2006 II termUseful Information: (10MIN)Learning a second language is never easy, and, generally speaking, the older one is when one attempts a new language, the more difficult it becomes. This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures.All languages have obligatory categories of grammar that may be lacking in other languages. Russian---unlike English---has an obligatory category for gender which demands that a noun, and often a pronoun, specify whether it is masculine, feminine, or neuter. Another obligatory category, similarly lacking in English, requires a verb state indicating whether or not an action has been complicated. Therefore, a Russian finds it impossible to translate accurately the English sentences “I hired a worker” without having much more information. He would have to know whether the “I” was a man or woman, whether the action had a completive or non-completive aspect ( “already hired” as opposed to “was in the process of hiring” ), and whether the “worker” was a man or a woman.Likewise, when translating an English story into Chinese in which a character identified as cousin appears, a Chinese translator requires to know whether it refers to a male or a female, whether the character is older or younger than the speaker, and whether the character belongs to the family of the speaker’s father or mother. Therefore biaomei ( 表妹)can be translated into English only by the awkward statement “a female cousin on my mother’s side and younger than I ”. of course, the translator might simply establish these facts about the character the first time she appears and thereafter translate the word as “cousin”, but that would ignore the significance in Chinese culture of the repetition of these obligatory categories.The Russian/English and Chinese/English examples illustrate the basic problem in any translation. No matter how skilled translators are, they cannot take the language our of the speech community that uses it.Translation obviously is not a simple two-day street between two language. Rather, it is a busy intersection at which at least five thoroughfares meet------the two languages with all of their peculiar characteristics, the cultures of the two speech communities, and the speech situation in which the statement was uttered.The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting linguistic gender difference among native speakers of English is the likelihood of women using these color terms to differentiate between shades of purple, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word “purple”. This is true of other color words too. Words like “beige”, “ecru”, “aquamarine”, “off-white”, etc. are quite common in a woman’s active vocabulary but absent from that of most men. Similar sorts of differences exist elsewhere in the English vocabulary. There is, for instance, a group of adjectives which have, besides their specific and literal meanings, another use of indicating the speaker’s approval or admiration for something. Some of these adjectives are neutral as to the sex of the speaker: either men or women tend to use them. But another set seems, in its figurative use, largely confined to women’s speech.Thus, when learning a language, we sometimes need to pay attention to which sex uses which words, particularly when we reach an advanced stage where we are adding many new words to our vocabulary and want to use them accurately. We also need to pay attention to some of the multiple meanings that words have, as well as to their connotations.Part One PreparationI.Saying Things Sincerely or Sarcastically (10)The students divide themselves into several groups, choose a group leader, then they each say one sentence about another. The rest of them will judge if the sentence was made sincerely or sarcastically.The sentence may be about any aspects: appearance, interest, opinions, life, etc.II.Telephone Chains. (15)The class will be divided into many groups. The first student of each group will be given a massage by the teacher. The message should be whispered from one person to the next. The last person should repeat the message loud. The group that gets the message through with the least changes wins.samples:1)John’s mother bought him a lovely cat.2)There are thirty boys and twenty-two girls in our class.3)I cannot understand why you get so angry with me.4)I was talking to a girl I just met several days ago.III. Enjoy a joke. (10)Read the following joke and discuss in groups what made you laugh and what caused the problem in communication in the joke.A city man had a new car and decided to try it out by driving in the country. He was so happy with his car that he didn’t notice where he was going, and he soon became lost.He stopped when he saw a farm boy walking along the road, and he said, “Hello, boy.”The boy replied, “Hello yourself,” and scratched his head.The man asked, “Where does this road go?”Th e boy answered, “It doesn’t go anywhere. It’s always been right here.”The man then answered, “Don’t know, I’ve never measured it.”The man was disgusted and said angrily, “You don’t know anything, and you’re the biggest fool I’ve ever met.”The boy replie d, “I know I don’t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I’m not lost.”In this joke, the problem is that the boy always took what the man said literally. In fact, when the man asked “Where does this road go?”, he expected that the boy would tell h im that the road went to a certain place. But instead, the boy didn’t catch what the man meant and his answer seemed irrelevant. The same thing happened with the question “How far is it to the next town?”. Therefore, the reader may think the boy is stupid. But surprisingly, the boy’s last remark was very clever: “I know I don’t know much, and I may be a fool, but at least I’m not lost.” This made the man seem stupid.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-Reading (30 MIN)Discuss the following questions with your partner.1)Do you agree that men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words?Are there any examples in your daily life that may support your point of view?---Yes, I agree. Male students are more direct, and female speakers are more indirect or tactful. For instance, if a man says “You don’t look good in that dress”, he means what he says. In contrast, a woman might say “That’s an interesting dress you’re wearing”, when she actually means she doesn’t like the dress. She is trying to be tactful.----Usually, when people say something, they try to make themselves understood by expressing the literal meaning. But on some occasions, the same words can have different meanings. For example, when a woman falls in love, her words to her lover may imply something special. What she says that she feels cold, she might actually man that it’s time for the man to move closer to her. In that case, it is an invitation to the man to hold her hands, or to put his arms around her.2)Besides the gender difference, are there any other differences that may cause people to speakdifferently?---I think, besides gender differences, differences in social position, education background, culture, occupation and age may also cause problems in understanding each other.---In my opinion, those who speak the same language may express themselves differently because they have different personalities, likes and dislikes, or value systems. All these work together to lead to different personal styles or ways of communication.Passage reading (20MIN)This passage is taken from the very popular book, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, by John Gray. In this passage, Dr. Gray explains the source of miscommunication between men and women.The main idea of the whole text should be discovered by the students by scanning the text and finishing the exercise 1 in the reading comprehension part on page 45.I.New words and phrases in the passage.1. encounter(l.1): v. 1) experience something, especially problems or oppositionEg.

I) That news reporter always sounds a s if he’s caught a cold.II) You make it sound as if you have to go without water for days on end.nguage points1)Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when therewas a conflict they didn’t start jud ging or fighting but instead pulled out their phrase dictionaries tounderstand each other more fully. (para 2)Here “judge” means “form an opinion about someone, especially in an unfair or criticizing way.”Eg. He just accepts people for what they are and he doesn’t judge them.2)If that didn’t work they went to a translator for help. (para.2)Here, “work” is an intransitive verb meaning “be effective or successful”.Eg. How long does a sleeping pill take to work?3)You see, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending onthe way they were used. (para 3)The word “see” means “understand” or “realize” and the expression “you see” is used when the speaker is explaining something.Eg. Well, you see, that is what I want to say.4)For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” tobe taken literally. (para 4)The word “take” means “consider, understand”Eg I take from what you say that you don’t feel well today.5)Because they misunderstand the intended meaning, they commonly react in an unsupportive manner.(para 5) “intended meaning” 想要表达的意思6)“I want to forget everything.” (para 5)Here，“forget” means “deliberately put something out of one’s mind and do not think about it any more.”7)“I want more romance.” (para 5)“romance” here means “love or a feeling of being in love.Eg. The romance had gone out of their relationship.’8)You can see how a “literal” translation of a woman’s words could easily mislead a man who is used tousing speech as a means of conveying only facts and information. (para 6) “means” 单复数同形，谓语动词应该根据句子的具体含义选择适当的形式。

Useful InformationPsychology is a young and growing science that touches on a broad range of human activities. In general, however, one can say that psychology tries to explain why people act, think, and feel the way they do. Psychologists are interested not only in how individual minds work but also in the various interactions of minds in society. It should be noted that psychology provides methods of analyzing and understanding human behavior and emotions that not based on moral codes.It is important not to confuse psychology with psychiatry, which is a branch of medicine dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of serious mental disorders. Psychiatrists, who workin hospitals, use a variety of methods including drugs, light therapy and electric shock treatments to cure or to control mentally disturbed people. However, the work of both psychiatrists and psychologists often involves an analytical process which interprets the unconscious or subconscious forces that prevent a person from functioning satisfactorily in daily life. By analyzing these forces and making the person aware of them, it is often possible to help the person deal with his or her mental and emotional problems.The whole field of psychology has evolved and expanded considerably since the early part of the twentieth century. There are now many branches of psychology and it is no longer limited to clinical work and the analysis of dreams. Over the years, qualitative and quantitative experiments on animals and humans have provided a vast amount of information on social behavior, mental development, emotional development, learning processes, motivation, personality differences, and sensory perceptions.Men and women with training in psychology now work in many different careers ranging from therapists to advertising agents. The findings of psychological research are used to the victims of family violence, to design aptitude tests, to carry out efficiency studies in the workplace, to develop educational strategies, to conduct political campaigns, and to predict consumer spending. In fact, there is hardly any aspect of modern society that has not been influenced in some way by research in the field of psychology.II. Persons related to psychologyThe whole field of psychoanalysis originated with the research of the Austrian doctor, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939). According to his theories, people are driven by irrational forces or primitive instincts. Freud believed that the inner struggle between instincts and conscience often led to disaster which was manifested in the form of personal tragedies such as murder and suicide or collective tragedies such as war. He advocated the use of psychoanalysis to help people control irrational forces. Much of Freud’s work was based on his interpretation of dreams and sexual instincts.The Swiss doctor, Carl Gustav Jung (1875—1961) is considered to be the other founder of the modern science of psychology. He proposed a theory of the collective unconscious of humanity that was not based on sexuality, but rather on universal symbols and images which he called “ archetypes”. According to Jung, the emotional experiences of all human beings are influenced by universal archetypes. These archetypes include various representations of the dark, inferior and uncivilized side of human beings, Jung used his theory not only to analyze dreams but also myths and folktales from many different cultures.PreparationStep1: picture –describing.Purpose: Knowing the skills on how to describe a picture competentlyForm:Group discussion and free talkSteps: 1.

Grammatical Knowledge主语补足语，nor引导的倒装句Teaching Procedures1. Preparation (Period 1&2)1.1 What is love? What kind of love impresses you most and why?Suggested Examples:Love makes the world go round.Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it every day.Love is a universal and permanent topic. Whether it is a mother’s nurturing love for her child, a son’s loyal love for his father, the love between husband and wife, or the love between friends, love is a universal emotion that expresses itself in every culture. To love is to be human. To need love is also to be human. Children, for example, need loving care in order to be emotionally healthy.Usually love is a deep feeling of fondness, affection and friendship that grows between twopeople. Romantic love usually begins as passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense of attachment. Many of the famous romantic love stories in various cultures end in the tragedies of death or betrayal. The loss of love is a favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories, operas, songs, and ballads.Love is actually more than the romantic emotion between a man and a woman; it has a wide sense of meaning. It may include our love for our family, love of our hometown, old school, former classmates, love of life, animals and nature and so on.Love plays an important part in our life. It is love that gives us courage to overcome difficulties when we are in trouble, while the loss of love may make one broken-hearted. Suggested Examples:Motherly love impresses me most, because she is always very kind to me, unlike my father who will scold me or slap me if I make mistakes or if I am naughty. My mother is an ordinary-looking woman, but in my eyes she is very beautiful. She is very hard-working and does almost all the housework. When I was working for the entrance examinations, she was very considerate and never let me do any housework. When I was hungry at night, she would fix a snack for me. She is a good cook. It’s a pity that I am not able to have what she cooks because I am far away from home now.1.2 What is the difference between fatherly love and motherly love according to Enrich comments?Erich Fromm’s Statements:Motherly love by its nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any expectation. Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is ―I love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do your duty, because you are like me ‖It is true that motherly love is unconditional. I believe what I’ve got from my mother is the deepest love I’ve ever received. (When I was at home, mother took good care of me…/ celebrate my birthdays/ woke me up and prepared breakfast/ Now I am away from home, she calls me every two or three days…) It seems that my life is much more important than hers.As for fatherly love, I am not sure if his love is conditional, but obviously it’s different fro m mother’s love. Father also loves me very much (care about education, future, not daily life; help in study and progress…) .Can you tell the difference between them according to your personal experiences?I think there’s something in his statements, although it is hard for me to identify whose love is fatherly and whose love is motherly in the case of my parents. Unlike most mothers in the world, my mother is strict, concerned with study and progress, angry when I cover up any of my wrongdoings…On the other hand, my father has been very kind to me. He knows my needs, comforts me after my mother criticizes me, brings me toys, books, takes me to look around during holidays (I)enjoy his company very much, feeling secure and relaxed. That is why I often think I have the best father in the world.How do you feel when you walk on the street and see a disabled person?I feel pity towards those who are disabled. I wonder how they can manage in their daily life and whether they have a job. I feel lucky that I am not disabled.Yes. My aunt is deaf and dumb. She has been like this since her childhood. My grandmother said that she became deaf because of taking the wrong medicine. She is now more than fifty years old and she has never been married. She was very kind to me. In fact it was she who brought me up. She often felt it unfair because she couldn’t hear. But she is very intelligent, and she is good at sewing. She sometimes kidded me with gestures that she wanted to cut off her ears because they couldn’t wo rk.Sayings and ProverbsIf you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else. If you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you do have. —Sir James M. BarrieEvery man is a poet when he is in love.Love me, love my dog.Understand the major details of the text1) How did the writer feel to be seen with his father when he was young? Why?He felt embarrassed to be seen with his father, because his father was severely crippled and very short.2) How and why does the son’s attitude change?The son realized that it was his father who taught him many things such as how to have a good heart. He knew that having a good heart was more important than having a good appearance. Especially after his father died, he felt it more intensely that it was his father who guided him in his life.4) Why do you think people start at the father and the son?Generally speaking, people tend to stare at persons who are extremely unusual, say, the charmingly beautiful ones, the fairly ugly ones and the rather disabled ones. Since the father was short, severely crippled, and when they walked along the street, the father leaned on his son for balance, it is not strange for the father and the son to be the center of the attention.5) What do you think a “good heart” is ?To my knowledge, a ―good heart‖ refers to the good nature of a person, which involves the aspects as follows: To begin with, he is kind with the people around him, thinking as much of others as of himself. Besides, he is honest in dealing with any affairs. He has a strong sense of what is right and wrong. And best of all, he is ready to help when someone is in trouble or in need of his help.6) What is the difference between how the son felt about his father as a youth and how he feels many years later?We can use two adjectives---shamed and sorry to illustrate the son’s feelings about his father in different phases of his life. When he was growing up, he was embarrassed/shamed to be seen with his father. He tended to judge the father by appearance s or physical conditions and others’ staring. With the passage of time, especially after the father’s departure, however, he came to learn that his father had a good heart for him to lean on. Now he feels terribly sorry for his past feelings about his father, but there is no chance to make up for it.7）What do you think makes a good heartUseful Words and Phrases：kindness, endurance, hard-work, be satisfied with, patience, warm-heartednessSample: I think there are many things to make a good heart. They are: kindness to others,endurance (忍耐力), hard-work, never hurting (伤害) others, being satisfied with life, patience, etc.8）What did you learn from this article about the relationship between the father and the son Useful Words and Phrases：understand, disability, be proud of, be ashamed of, stare at, deep in one's heart, learn a lotSample: The father knew his disability (残疾) stood in the way between him and his son. That's why he said to his son: "You set the pace. I'll try to adjust to you." The son was young, so he was ashamed of his father because other people stared at them. But deep in their hearts they loved each other.
