II. Background Information

Nowadays most children go to school but few of them have ever asked themselves why they go there. Some children think that they go to school just to learn their mother tongue, English and other foreign languages, mathematics, geography, history, science and a few other subjects. But why do they learn these things? Are these the only things they should learn at school?

Actually children go to school to prepare themselves for the time when they will grow up and will have to support themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their lives, but there is one more important reason why children go to school.

There is more to education than just learning facts. We go to school above all to learn how to learn. Learning is not just for school but for life. So even after we have left school, we have to continue to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be successful because whenever he is faced with a completely new task or problem, he will teach himself how to deal with it in the best way. Therefore, children do not go to school just to learn languages, mathematics, geography, etc. They go to school to learn how to learn. III: Language Study

Text A All the Cabbie had Was a letter

I. Warm up — Do you often write letters to friends? Why or why not?

T leads into the text by saying: Sometimes we put off writing letters because we think letters can wait until other matters are dealt with, or because we think a phone call will do instead. But sometimes, as you are to find in this text, we may leave it too late to write, and letters are the best in expressing our innermost feelings. II. Structure of the Text

1. Text Organization: Parts Part One Part Two Part Three Paragraphs Paras 1-20 Paras 21-35 Paras 36 Main Ideas From a conversation with the cab driver the author learned how much he regretted failing to keep up correspondence with his old friend Ed. Reading the letter by himself, the author learned more about the lifelong friendship between the driver and Old Ed. The driver‟s experience urged the author to reach for his pen. 2. Main idea: never delay expressing your true feeling to a friend. III. Comprehension Questions

How could the author know that the driver was lost in his reading?

(The author had to tap on the windshield to get the driver’s attention. (L2)) Why did the driver sound as if he had a cold?

(He was very sad and was probably weeping when reading the letter. (L4-5)) Why did the driver decline to go on with his letter?

(He had read the letter several times and known it well. (L7-8))

Does the author travel a lot? (Yes, he was on the road very often. (L9-10)) Why did the driver include Ed as his family? ( Ed was his oldest friend. (L13))

Did the driver often see his friend? Why? ( No. He moved away from the old neighborhood. (L25-26)) What was the reason for not keeping in touch with old friends according to the author? (He didn’t seem to find the time to keep in touch with his friends. (L37)) Why did the author decline to read the letter?

(It was a personal letter. He didn‟t want to invade the privacy of other people. (L40-41)) What did the first sentence of the letter remind the author of?

(The first sentence of the letter reminded the author of himself because he often postponed writing letters to friends.(L45-46))

Why did the author feel sad about “old friend”? (People were losing their old friends as time went by. (L56-57)) How did the driver and his friend get to know the latest information about each other in the last 20 or 30

years? (They sent Christmas cards with notes to tell the other what was going on about their families. (L65-68) Why did the author want to receive such a letter from his oldest friend?

(He was moved by the letter and wanted to have such a good old friend. (L75-76)) Who wrote the letter? (Tom, the driver. (L79, L85))

Why did Tom never mail the letter? (Ed had died before he could mail it. (L84-85))

What was the first thing the author wanted to do after he arrived at the hotel? And why?

(He was urged to write a letter to his friend and mailed it because it might be too late to do so. (L88-89)) IV. Cultural Notes

Halloween is celebrated annually. It is on the night of 31 October, when people once believed that ghosts could be seen. Now, in Britain and America, it is a time when children have parties, dress up as witches, make lanterns out of pumpkins from which the inside has been removed, and play “trick or treat”.

Trick or treat is a traditional activity at Halloween. Children dress in costumes and visit houses. At each house they

say “Trick or treat”. This means that they will play a “trick”, or joke, on the people in the house unless they are given a “treat”, e.g. sweets or money. Most people prefer give treats rather than having tricks played on them. V．How to keep a conversation going:

Asking a question, agreeing with what one‟s conversation partner has said, and making guess about past events or predictions about future events. VI. Text analysis

Most of this text is actually a re-creation of the conversation between a taxi driver and the narrator. Therefore it provides ample examples of how English is spoken in daily life by native speakers.

In spoken English sentences tend to be short and simple. Some sentences are incomplete, for example: “(Is the letter) From a child or maybe a grandchild?” “(You) Went to school together?” “Time.”

“(I have) Enjoyed talking with you.”

Besides, some words and phrases do not usually find their way into written English, for example, sort of, kind of, you know, I think, I guess, I take it, well, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do sth., not much of a hand at doing sth., a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot.

From the text one can conclude that the narrator is very good at keeping the conversation going. For one thing, he expresses his agreement to show the cabbie what a sympathetic listener he is, e.g.

---“Letters from home always mean a lot. At least they do with me because I‟m on the road so much.” ---“I don‟t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well. I know I don‟t.”

教学内容：

Text A Public Attitudes toward Science

I. Pre-reading question

1. What is your attitude toward science? Which, in your opinion, is more significant, the increase in the living standard brought about by scientific developments or the harm caused by them?

(Key: Most students will put more emphasis on the positive effect of science. The teacher, then, can draw their attention to such topics as environmental problems, industrial pollution, the devastating power of nuclear weapons and the oncoming threat of human cloning.)

2. Brainstorm scientific and technological discoveries that have changed or will change our life. （genetic engineering, Air conditioner, mobile phone, laptop, television, nuclear weapons, car）  --In what ways do these discoveries change our lives for the better?  ---In what ways do these discoveries change our lives for the worse?

 3. Summary: The same scientific and technological discovery can bring us good and bad things .What should we do?  According to Stephen Hawking, author of this text, it‟s time for us to make head changes towards changing our lives for

the better.

II. Comprehension questions:

1: Why does the author hold that the past, which is seen as a purer and simpler age by some people, was not wonderful at all? (para 1)

2: What is the underlying meaning of the sentence “and the present government is doing its best”? (para 2)

(The complete sentence is“and the present government is doing its best to cut off all the money for research”.This sentence is meant to be an irony. The author‟s real intention is to complain about or criticize government cuts in research funds.) 3: Can a global state that suppresses anything new prevent further developments? Why or why not? If not, what can it do? (para 2)

4: Why does the public need to have a basic understanding of science? (para 3) 5: Can you further explain the author’s view that “the public is in two minds about science”? In other words, what are the “two minds”? (para 3)

(One mind is that the public is interested in the improvement of life brought by scientific developments, the other mind is that the public, at the same time, is afraid that these developments may cause harm to them and to the society.) 6: What is the author‟s intention to mention such names as“Frankenstein, Green parties and The Sky at Night”?(para 3) (He mentions the first two names to show the public‟s distrust in and fear of science, and the third to show its interest in science.)

7: What is the current state of science education in schools? (para 4)

8: Why are words and diagrams more acceptable to the public than equations? (para 5) 9: What kind of science program on TV is beneficial to public science education? (para 6)

10: Is the author optimistic or pessimistic about the future of human civilization? How can you see that? (para 7)

III. Structure of the Text 1. Text Organization: Parts Part One Part Two Part Three Paragraphs Paras 1-3 Paras 4-6 Paras 7 Main Ideas To make informed decisions about change, the public needs a basic understanding of science. What can be done to educate the public about science. With an informed public, human civilization will survive. 2. Main idea: to ensure the survival of human civilization, measures must be taken to help the public understand science.

3. Topic sentences and their supporting details

a) Whether we like it or not, the world we live in has changed a great deal in the last hundred years, and

it is likely to change even more in the next hundred. i. No one would really want to go back to the past. b) No one can prevent further advances in the future. i. Knowledge and techniques can‟t be forgotten.

ii. The force of competition would still bring about advances in technology. iii. One cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science. iv. Human initiative and inventiveness.

c) At the moment, the public is in two minds about science.

i. It has come to expect the steady increase in the standard of living that new developments in science and technology have brought to continue,

ii. … but it also distrusts science because it doesn‟t understand it.

d) The public needs education in science so as to make informed decisions (Generalized). i. Science could be better taught with fewer equations.

ii. Popular books, magazines, and television programs can help to put across new development. IV. Background

 Stephen Hawking: Regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein, Stephen Hawking is

known not only for the adventurousness of his ideas, for the clarity and wit with which he expresses them, but for the courage he has shown in struggling with the illness that he has suffered from for the most of his life.

 Stephen Hawking now is Lucasian professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in England, a post once

held by the great scientist Isaac Newton. He seeks to combine Einstein‟s General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman‟s idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe.

Background Information 1. American Dream

American Dream is the belief that everyone in the United States has the chance to achieve success and prosperity. For ordinary people, it means a happy family, an ideal job, and a nice house. For minorities and immigrants, it also includes freedom and equal rights.

2. Immigrants

Apart from “Native Americans”— Indians, all Americans have ancestors who were immigrants. The

United States has become the home of immigrants from all over the world.Some immigrants come to the United States in search of a place to practice their religion freely, while others seek political or economic protection. Still others arrive in hopes of building a better life for themselves and their families.

3. The Great Depression

The Great Depression is considered the most severe economic crisis in the industrialized world. It began when American stock market fell on Friday, Oct. 24, 1929, and continued the following Tuesday, known as Black Tuesday, with a greater fall. The Depression struck many other countries as well, particularly Germany, Japan, and Britain. In the early 1930smillions of people lost their jobs and millions of businesses and banks failed. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal policies improved the situation, but the Great Depression did not come to an end until World War II when industrial production for the war increased.

Text Organization: Parts Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Paragraphs Para 1 Paras 2-6 Paras 7-15 Paras 16-17 Main Ideas John Blanchard was expecting someone at Grand Central Station. How John Blanchard had fallen in love with Miss Maynell. Miss Maynell put Blanchard to a test. It was wise of Miss Maynell to give such a test. 2. Main idea: the nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. III. Cultural Notes

1. Public Libraries in the U.S.:

Public libraries in the U.S. are free to the public. One can get a library card at the local library by filling in a form and showing the librarian a valid ID and something to prove that one lives in the neighborhood. Besides borrowing books, people go to libraries to borrow video tapes, use the computers there, and attend book readings by authors and other cultural events. Libraries are regarded as community centers. 2. St. Valentine’s Story

Valentine was a priest living in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army and expected men to volunteer to join. However many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. This made Claudius very angry. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius banned marriage even engagement from his empire. But Valentine would keep on performing marriage ceremonies secretly. He was caught by the soldiers at a wedding, and was thrown into prison and beheaded. Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his jailer when he was in prison. Before he was taken to his death on February 14, 269 A.D., he signed a farewell message to her, “Love from your Valentine.”That note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s Day. 3. Valentine Traditions

(1) If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have (2) In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, “You unlock my heart!”

Text A What Animals Really Think

I. Structure of the Text

1. Text Organization:

Subheadings Let‟s Make a Deal Tale of a Whale Main Ideas Some animals are intelligent enough to know how to bargain with people. Animals like whales can assess a situation and act accordingly. Primate Shell Game Animals sometimes can be tricky. 2. Main idea: some animals seem capable of thinking when it is in their own interests to do so. II. Background Information:

During the past few years, people have been trying to talk to some lively animals that live in the sea. These animals are

dolphins. They are small members of the whale family. Dolphins have always seemed to like people. A tale from Greece tells of a drowning boy. He was saved by a dolphin. About a hundred years ago, dolphins were reported to have led ships through the dangerous waters between the islands of New Zealand.

During the past fifteen years, scientists have been studying the sound of dolphins. Special instruments were built so that people would be able to hear the dolphins‟ underwater sounds.

Dolphins make two kinds of sounds. First, there are sounds that they use to find their way around the ocean. There are clicking sounds. Then, using their good hearing, they listen for the echoes that bounce off (反射) things in their path. Although dolphins have tiny eyes, they are able to avoid bumping into things.

The second kind of sounds made by dolphins is those used for „talking‟. In California, people studying dolphins have heard and recorded tweeting and whistling sounds. They believe that these are sounds of dolphins “talking” to each other. Other animals such as apes, birds, and dogs also use sounds to talk to each other. However, dolphins can make many more sounds than any of these other animals.

Many people now wonder if the dolphins have their own “language”. Dr. John Lilly, who worked in the Virgin Islands, believes that they do. In 1965 he trained two dolphins to imitate human sounds. Since then, more work has been done to find a way for people and dolphins to talk to each other.
