Teaching Procedures

1. 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 fo r 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 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.

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 from 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 work.

Sayings and Proverbs

If 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. Barrie

Every man is a poet when he is in love.

Love me, love my dog.

Understand the major details of the text

1) 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 appearances 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 heart

Useful Words and Phrases:kindness, endurance, hard-work, be satisfied with, patience, warm-heartedness

Sample: 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 lot

Sample: 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. The father was proud of his son, and the son learned a lot from his father.

9)How and why does the son's attitude change

Useful Words and Phrases :realize, a good heart, a good appearance, feel intensely, guide one's life

Sample: 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 (强烈地) that it was his father who guided him in his life.

10)If you were the son, how would you feel towards the father

Useful Words and Phrases:Embarrassed, be proud of, bring up, disability, look down upon, let alone

Sample: If I were the son, I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with him by others. I could be proud of my father no matter how he looked because it was he who gave me life and brought me up (抚养,教育). His disability was not his own choice. He was disabled, which was hard enough for him. How could the others look down upon him, let alone his son (更不用说,别说)

Summary of the Passage

This story tells of the love between a father and a son, describing how the son changed his attitude towards his father. At first, the son was ashamed to be seen walking with his father who was short and crippled and needed the son’s help for keeping his balance. The father, however, had a strong will and, almost never missed a day for work whether he was sick or the weather was nasty, although his office was far from his home. Crippled as he was, the father tried to participate in some activities in some way. What surprised the son most was that the father would endure indignity and stress without complaint. Therefore, the son changed his attitude towards his father, from whom the son learned to heave a good heart. The son felt that it was not his father who needed his help for keeping his balance, instead, he himself needed his father’s aid for keeping his balance in life.

Detailed explanation

课文赏析

作者通过对父亲的行为描写突出了父亲的优秀品质,即父亲拥有一颗善良的心.通过描写儿子由年幼到长大成人的心理过程的转变,体现了父亲的善良之心对作者的影响以及作者的感激之情.文中体现作者态度的转变的词汇有:embarrassed, ashamed, unwanted attention, impatient →sorry, unworthy, regretted.作者对这个问题认识的转变说明他成熟了.过去父亲出门要他搀扶,因此是健康的他支撑着父亲.现在父亲已去世多年,他十分后悔过去对父亲的不理解,并深切体会:"when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a good heart", 支撑着他的正是父亲的美好心灵.

[11] I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he "played" too. When I joined the Navy he "joined" too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that " I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, "This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different." Those words were never said aloud.

see (to it) that…make sure that 确保

要保证你不会再犯同样的错误.See to it that you do not make the same mistake again.

[12] He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about trifles, when I am envious of another's good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart".

Post reading questions

Can you get any inspiration from the story?

After reading the story, the image of the father and the son is still flashing before us: one is tall and strong while the other is crippled and short. This may remind us of a Chinese character “人”, in which the left falling stroke is tall and strong, while the right one is short and weak. Can you jump to the conclusion that the left one is more important than the right one? The answer is absolutely no. Neither stroke can mean anything without the other. This character cannot exist without either stroke. Just as in our daily life, no matter how strong or weak, how rich or poor, how important or humble a person is, no one can live well without the help of others.

What do you think makes a good heart?

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.

What did you learn from this article about the relationship between the father and the son? 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. The father was proud of his son, and the son learned a lot from his father.

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 (强烈地) that it was his father who guided him in his life.

If you were the son, how would you feel towards the father?

If I were the son, I wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen with him by others. I could be proud of my father no matter how he looked because it was he who gave me life and brought me up (抚养,教育). His disability was not his own choice. He was disabled, which was hard enough for him. How could the others look down upon him, let alone his son (更不用说,别说)?

Preparation (Period 1&2)

A Speech Contest

Have you ever made speeches in public? When delivering speeches, different language styles should be carefully considered. Listen to an extract of the famous speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. “I Have a Dream”. Then you will be assigned different roles. You are supposed to prepare short speeches based on that role.

I HAVE A DREAM MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.

Directions: Now choose from the roles given and try to make a speech on “My Methods to Learn English”.

Part Two Reading-Centered Activities

Background Information

1. Character

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.

Biaomei (表妹) :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.

2. Color

The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words form many other languages over the centuries. This is apparent in its color words. Women of native English speakers use these color terms to differentiate between shades of one color, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word or even absent.

Woman man

mauve

violet purple

lilac

lavender

Beige

Ecru

Aquamarine absent

Off-white

3. Emotional Coloring

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. Representative lists of both types are below:

NEUTRAL WOMEN MOSTL Y

great adorable

terrific charming

cool sweet

neat lovely

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.

More Relevant Information for Y our Reference

Geography: Among American English speakers, for example, some have a Boston accent, a Texas accent, an African American accent, etc. Across the world among English speakers, there are British English, Australian English, Indian English, etc.

Age: “Teenage Speak”is an example. Teenagers (at least in Southern California) typically use words and expressions like “rad, awesome, de bomb, etc.”and even the older generation

uses expressions such as “it’s like…”, or “I’m like…”frequently. No doubt you speak quite differently form your parents!

Social class: It’s showed that the frequency of the /r/ sound among New Yorkers varies depending on social class. Forms such as “ain’t”for “isn’t”may also indicate the social class of the speakers.

Topic: Legalese, for instance, is very different form the language of air traffic control.

Individuals: How about “Clintonese”? Individuals like Bill Clinton can have a distinctive style of their own. Do you and other members of your family share words no one else would understand or use?

Gender: Men are from Mars and Women from Venus! I couldn’t agree more. Do you?

Pre-Reading Questions

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 speakers 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.

Besides the gender differences, are there any other differences that may cause people to speak differently?

--- 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 easy of communication.

Global Reading

1)Why did Martians and Venusians encounter many problems with relationships when they first got together? (Para.1)

Because they recognized that they were different. They need solve these problems.

2) What was one of the secrets of the success? (Para.1)

One of the secrets of their success was good communication.

3)How could Martians and Venusians communicate well even if they spoke different languages? (Para.2)

They pulled out their phrase dictionaries to understand each other more fully or went to a translator for help.

4) How did Martians and Venusians understand the communication problems? (Para.3)

They assumed that it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other.

5) Why do men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words? (Para.4)

Women often don’t expect words to be taken literally. It is not to be taken as if it were factual information.

6) How do women usually do to fully express their feelings? (Para.5)

Women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations.

Structure

The author here skillfully applies analogue (类比) into the communication problem between men and women.

Communication between Martians and Venusians (Para. 1~3)

1. One of the secrets of success in dealing with relationship is the good communication between Martians and Venusians. (Para. 1)

2. How did they communicate well though they spoke different languages? (Para. 2)

3. People from Mars and people from Venus experienced a trust and acceptance that we rarely experience today. (Para. 3)

1) When they had problems, they would just go to a translator for assistance.

2) When there was a conflict they didn’t start judging or fighting but instead p ulled out their phrase dictionaries to understand each other more fully.

Communication between Men and Women (Para. 4~9)

1. Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. ( Para. 4)

2. Ten common complaints that are easily misinterpreted. (Para. 5~9)

For example: If a woman says: “I feel like you never listen”, “never” is just a way of expressing the frustration she is feeling at the moment.

Speaking Different Languages

[1] When Martians and Venusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today. Because they recognized that they were different, they were able to solve these problems. One of the secrets of their success was good communication.

encounter ( Line 1, Para. 1)

vt.find oneself faced by (danger, difficulties, etc.), meet (an enemy or enemies); meet unexpectedly (a friend, etc.)

eg: Encountering difficulties in the process of pursuing success is quite normal.

在追求成功的过程中遇到困难是很正常的事情。

The young scientists encountered many difficulties during their exploration.

年轻的科学家们在探险途中遭遇了很多困难。

I encountered an old classmate when I went shopping yesterday.

昨天我到商店买东西时碰见了我的一位老同学。

n. sudden or unexpected (esp. hostile) meeting (with)

遭遇(尤指与敌人,与介词with连用)

An encounter with a branch of Al-Qaed a resulted in a serious injury in the American soldier’s left arm.

与基地组织(Al-Qaeda)的一个分支的遭遇导致了那个美军士兵的左臂受重伤。

A tour to Qingdao brought encounters with many acquaintances.

在去青岛的旅行途中遇见了许多熟人。

encounter group 谈心治疗小组

[2]Ironically, they communicated well because they spoke different languages.When they had problems, they would just go to a translator for assistance.Everyone knew that people from Mars and people from Venus spoke different languages, so when there was a conflict they didn’t start judging or fighting but instead pulled out their phrase dictionaries to understand each other more fully. If that didn’t work they went to a translator for help.

他们每个人都清楚火星人和金星人语言不同,因此,一旦遇到冲突,他们并不去评论是非或争斗,相反,他们会掏出自己的短语词典,以便更全面的了解对方。

assistance (Line 6, Para. 2)

n. help; aid 帮助;援助

Can I be of any assistance to you?

The identity of world champion is of great assistance for Liu Guoliang to become one of the youngest head coaches of Chinese national table tennis team. (有着很大的帮助)

动词形式:assist

conflict (Line 8, Para. 2)

n. 1) fight; struggle; quarrel 战争;斗争;争执

This is a serious dispute, and could lead to armed conflict.

2) (of opinion, desires, etc.) opposition; difference

指意见,欲望等)相左;冲突;抵触

His statement was apparently in conflict with other evidence.

pull out (Line 8, Para.2)

1) take something out of a bag, pocket, or cupboard 拿出

2) use force to take something from where it is

fixed or held 拔出,拉出

You’d better have that bad tooth pulled out tomorrow.

If that didn’t work they went to a translator for help.

如果这样无效的话他们就去找翻译帮助。

Here “work” is an intransitive verb meaning “be effective or successful (起作用,有效)”.

1. Does this light work?

2. I don’t think your plan will work.

[3]You see, the Martian and Venusian languages had the same words but different meanings depending on the way they were used. Their expressions were similar, but they had different connotations or emotional emphasis. Misinterpreting each other was very easy. So when communication problems emerged, they assumed it was just one of those expected misunderstandings and that with a little assistance they would surely understand each other. The experienced a trust and acceptance that we rarely experience today.

因此,当交流出现问题的时候,他们认为误解是必然的,这只是众多误解中的一个。同时,在一定的帮助下,他们一定会彼此理解对方。

mis-(prefix)

1) bad or badly

e.g. misfortune (bad luck)/ misbehave (behave badly)

2) wrong or wrongly

e.g. misinterpret/ misunderstand/ mislead/ misguide

3) show an opposite or the lack of something

e.g. mistrust

emerge v.

1) appear or come out form somewhere出现,浮现(from, out of)

e.g. The sun emerged form behind the clouds.

太阳从云层后出现。

2) to become known as a result of inquiry(真相)暴露,(事实)显露

e.g. It emerged that the driver of the car had been drunk.

后来得知汽车司机原来喝醉了。

他就是杀人凶手的事实在审问(interrogation)中被暴露出来。

That fact that he was just the murderer emerged from the interrogation.

讨论中没有出现新的想法。No new ideas emerged during the discussion.

assume (Line 14, Para. 3)

vt. 1) believe something is true without definite proof 假定, 假设, 臆想

American national basketball team is not as unconquerable as you assumed it to be.

美国国家篮球队并不是像你想象的那样不可战胜。

我们先假定他的说法是可信的。Let us first assume his statement to be believable.

2) take up; undertake 担任;承担

Her father _assumes a leading position______ in that state-owned enterprise. (担任领导职务)You should __assume all the responsibilities_____ of what you have done. (承担所有的责任)名词形式:assumption

[4]Even today we still need translators. Men and women seldom mean the same things even when they use the same words. For example, when a woman says, “I feel like you never listen,” she does not expect the word “never” to be taken literally. Using the word“never”is just a way of expressing the frustration she is feeling at the moment. It is not to be taken as if it were factual information.

she does not expect the word ‘never’to be taken literally”.

当女人说:“我觉得你从不听我说话”时,她希望不要从字面上理解“从不”这个词。

In the sentence “the word “take” means “consider, understand (考虑,理解)”.

I take it from what you say that you don’t feel well today.

It is not to be taken as if it were factual information. (Line 22)它不会被理解为它实际表达的意思。

as if 所引导的从句的谓语动词多用虚拟语气,表示所叙述的情况与事实相反。

过去式,表示过去的状态,如:

He stood there looking at me and laughing, as if to fool me was the best joke in the world.

过去完成时,表示过去的动作先于主句动词而发生或完成,如:

It was as if he had lost his last friend

“I rem ember,” she tells her children now, “how wild her white hair looked — as if it had been electrified.”

必须注意的时,在指过去的动作时,即使主句是现在时,as if 从句中的动词也要用过去完成时。

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.

Unit-10-Agriculture新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译讲课稿

Unit 10 Agriculture Farming for the Future [1] Every year, more people face poverty and hunger and more of the earth's resources are ruined. The problems are enormous, but many experts believe that the situation is not hopeless. The solution will require big changes in how we think about agriculture, food, and our planet. [2] First of all, farmers everywhere need to develop methods that are less destructive to the environment. The change from single crop farming to a mixed crop system would be one important step. The planting of several different crops improves the soil and helps prevent erosion. Erosion could also be prevented by planting trees to protect the fields from the wind. Another way farmers could improve the soil is to avoid deep plowing. In fact, only a slight plowing is necessary if proper methods are used. [3] If the soil were treated better, farmers would not need to use chemical fertilizers. They could use natural animal and vegetable products instead. With mixed crops, farmers would need fewer toxic chemical insecticides. They could use biological methods of controlling insects and disease. [4] Farmers could also help save the earth's precious supplies of water and petroleum. To save water, they could plant more water-efficient plants instead of the standard types of wheat or corn. They could also use watering systems that are much less wasteful. To save petroleum, farmers could make use of bio-gas generators which could be fueled by the vegetable and animal wastes of the farms. In less-developed countries, bio-gas generators could reduce the need for firewood and so help save forests, as well. [5] In less-developed countries, the small farmers need help. They need to learn more about crops that are better suited to local conditions. They need to learn how to limit erosion and make the best use of their resources. These farmers will never be successful without land and economic reform. This should be the aim of governments and international agencies. The current industrial and cash crop policies are only making the situation worse. [6] Industrialized countries could use their economic resources to help bring about these changes. They could make some changes in their own policies. At present, much food is wasted in these countries for political reasons. In Europe and in North America, tons of fruit and dairy products are thrown away every year. Eating habits, too, could be changed in these countries. For example, people often eat foods from distant places instead of local foods. The transportation of the imported foods adds to the global pollution problem. People in industrialized countries also eat a lot of meat, especially beef.

Depending on where I am and who I'm with, I'm Korean or I'm Canadian. Interviewer:That sounds complicated. Could you explain what you mean? Angela:Well, growing up in Canada when I was going to high school, for example, I was known as Angela to the outside world, and as Sun-Kyung at home. I would wave hello to my teachers, but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home. Interviewer:Do different cultures have different ideas as to what is polite? Angela:Yes, definitely. In high school, I was expected to look straight in the eyes of my teachers and to talk openly with them. But when Koreans spoke to me, I was expected to look at my feet and to be shy and silent. Interviewer:Do you think that having two personalities makes you a richer person?

I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through. But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know, or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive. That's the way I am. I am a very independent person. I must do things for myself. I don't like people doing things for me, or helping me, or giving me things. It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do. I just feel that when someone does something for you, you owe them, and if there is one thing I don't like to feel, it's that I owe anyone anything. I think I would be a good friend. I would do almost anything for someone I like, and would share or give anything I have. I'm very caring and understanding. People

Unit 1 羞怯的痛苦 对许多人来说,羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安,感到不自然;也就是说,他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法:我给人留下的是什么印象?他们喜欢我吗?我讲话是不是傻里傻气?我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。 很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中,而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常,人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如,具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信,他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励,也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害;他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。 相反,他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下,羞怯的人自尊心较弱,往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们(是否)在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感;他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴,因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞:“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然,尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质,过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。 能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢?幸运的是,人们能够通过坚持

不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的,因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如,大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难,就把自己列为差生,这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能,甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时,我们正在自我否定。 如果你害羞,这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感:1.认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随着对自我的不断认同,羞怯感就会自然减弱。 2.确定合理的目标。例如,在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起,你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力,仅和一两个人交谈,你会感到更自在些。 3.内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情,(光)感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反,应该承认你犯了个错误,并决心在将来更加善解人意。 4.所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。 5.不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的,或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。 6.接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如,如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术,要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心,你们还是好朋友,但你的烹饪技术也许确实

新编大学英语3课文原文

Book 3 Unit 1 Personality The Misery of Shyness Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. All kinds of people describe themselves as shy: short, tall, dull, intelligent, young, old, slim, overweight. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly swirling in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? I'm ugly. I'm wearing unattractive clothes. It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. For instance, people who have a positive sense of self-worth or high self-esteem usually act with confidence. Because they have self-assurance, they do not need constant praise and encouragement from others to feel good about themselves. Self-confident people participate in life enthusiastically and spontaneously. They are not affected by what others think they "should" do. People with high self-esteem are not hurt by criticism; they do not regard criticism as a personal attack. Instead, they view a criticism as a suggestion for improvement. In contrast, shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing "the right thing". Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true." It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is detrimental, or harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be "A" students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves as inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. People's expectations of themselves must be realistic. Dwelling on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy, and even feelings of envy, or jealousy. We

Instead of going out to see a movie or taking a walk in a park, people of all ages prefer to turn on the television and stay at home. More and more families have tape recorders, CD players, VCRs and VCDs to add to the variety of leisure activities in the home. In some countries, young people spend hours sitting in front of their computers, surfing on the Internet or playing computer games. Despite the rise in home entertainment, there are still many people who enjoy spending some of their leisure time attending sports events or participating in competitive sports or other physical activities such as dancing and tai chi (shadow boxing). Exercise not only contributes to good health but also takes the mind away from worries and troubles. Concerts, plays and other performances constitute another source of entertainment outside
