四Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents . He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed him. No one showed kindness (友善) to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped , she dropped other bags. He came to help her .“ Tha nk you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were kind words he had ever heard. He watched her she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised ears as if（似乎）it understood.

“Uh! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail h appily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw but a dirty boy. He washed his face . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.

五After months of study, you have some time to relax. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media(媒体)that offer a lot more colorful programs. Books are history!” But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading.①One clear reason is that a well-chosen is a wonderful collection of and expressions, as long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get standard English than from the TV or the Internet. ②But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media cannot. The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. Though “easy” m ay be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book. But perhaps the best reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. Reading can bring us pleasure.

1. 请在①句空白处各填入一个适当的词。

2. 请将②处划线句子译成汉语。

3. How many reasons for reading books does the text mention

4. 请在文中找出与所给句子意思相近的句子。It’s nearly useless.

5. 请在文中找出最能表达文章主题的句子。

六There is an old Chinese saying, “ If someone gives you a little drop of water, you should return a spring of wate r.” That means if someone helps you a bit, you should remember it and thank them gratefully(感激的）in return.

We should live in a world of gratitude. We should prove it with actions, not just words. We thank people who hurt us, because t hey teach us important things. We thank people who give us up, because we learn how to be independent. We thank people who selfish(自私的），

because we learn theimportance of being kind. Of course, we should thank people who help us. We should thank peoplewho tea ch us. We should thank people who care about us.

We thank our parents. They work hard all the time in order to give their sons and daughters a better life. They cook meals for us , they do the chores for us, they always give us food and clothes, they teach us what is right and what is wrong.

We thank our teachers who give us dreams. They teach us a lot of things but they ask for nothingfrom us. We are well-educated of them.

英语诗歌的基本押韵格式打印

《英美诗歌选读》课程教案第四讲首页 备注：教学进程一栏可根据教学内容的多少自定页数。 第四讲英美诗歌的基本押韵格式

押韵格式（rhyme scheme）指的是一首诗中各押韵诗行的组合形式。一般说来，每首诗都由数量不同的诗行组成，每一行的结尾都按照其读音的相同或类似而押韵，并表现出规律性。 押韵格式分为定型诗歌格式和普通诗歌格式。前一种格式主要有十四行诗体、斯宾塞诗体、回旋诗体等押韵格式；普通诗歌格式主要有双行押韵格式（aa）、隔行交互押韵格式(abab)和吻韵格式(abba)。 第一节基本押韵格式 一、双行押韵格式（aa） 它是英语诗歌最基本押韵格式，主要用于双行诗节（couplet）。双行诗节指两行押韵或不押韵的诗行。双行诗节可以单独成为诗节，也可以存在于其他诗节中。七行体（又称皇韵体，rhyme royal）诗和八行体（octa rima）诗用双行诗节结束，莎士比亚的十四行诗也是用双行诗节结束全诗。 双行诗节分开放双行诗节（open couplet）和完整双行诗节(closed couplet)两种。完整双行诗节如果是用抑扬格五韵步写成，就被称为英雄双行诗节(heroic couplet)。 开放双行诗节指的是跨行的双行诗体，即两行诗有共同的语法和逻辑结构，但第二行的意思需要继续下去，直到在后面的诗行中结束。如济慈叙述希腊神话中的美少年长诗《恩弟米安》开始几行： A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness; but still will keep A bower quiet for us, and a sleep Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing A flowery band to bind us to the earth, Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth Of noble natures (1) (John Keats: Endymion) 这些诗行的特点是： 首先，每两行押韵，即ever / never，keep / sleep，breathing / wreathing，earth / dearth押韵。 1美的事物是一种永恒的愉悦：/ 它的美与日俱增：它永不湮灭，/ 它永不消亡；/ 为了我们，它永远/ 保留着一处幽境，让我们安眠，/ 充满了美梦，健康，宁静的呼吸。/ 这样子，每天清晨，我们编织/ 绚丽

In 1993, I had my first opportunity to visit Russia as a representative of the University of California. I was there to provide some technical assistance in the area of agricultural labor management. “Russians are a very polite people,” I had been tutored before my arrival. One of my interpreters, once I was there, explained that a gentleman should pour the lemonade (a type of juice) for the ladies and show other courtesies to them. Toward the end of my three-week trip I was invited by my young Russian host and friend Dmitri Ivanovich and his lovely wife Yielena out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal Yielena asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But the whole while my mind was racing: “What do I do? Do I offer her a banana even though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?” “Would you like a banana?” I asked Yielena. “Yes,” she smiled, but made no attempt to take any of th e three bananas in the fruit basket. “What now?” I thought. “Which one would you like?” I fumbled. “That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas. So all the while thinking about Russian politeness I picked the banana Yielena had pointed at and peeled it half way and handed it to her. Smiles in Yielena and Dmitri’s faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing is to peel the bananas for the ladies. Sometime during my third trip I was politely disabused of my notion. “Oh no, Grigorii Davidovich,” a Russian graciously corrected me. “In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady it means he has a romantic interest in her.” How embarrassed I felt. And here I had bee n proudly telling everyone about this tidbit of cultural understanding. Certain lessons have to be learned the hard way. Some well meaning articles and presentations on cultural differences have a potential to do more harm than good and may not be as amusing. They present, like my bananas, too many generalizations or quite a distorted view. Some often-heard generalizations about the Hispanic culture include: Hispanics need less personal space, make less eye contact, touch each other more in normal conversation, and are less likely to participate in a meeting. Generalizations are often dangerous, and especially when accompanied by recommendations such as: move closer when talking to Hispanics, make more physical contact, don’t expect participation, and so on. Differences between people within any given nation or culture are much greater than differences between groups. Education, social standing, religion, personality, belief structure, past experience, affection shown in the home, and a myriad of other factors will affect human behavior and culture. Sure there are differences in approach as to what is considered polite and appropriate behavior both on and off the job. In some cultures “yes” means, “I hear you” more than “I agree.” Length of pleasantries and greetings before getting down to business, level of tolerance for being around someone speaking a foreign (not-understood) language, politeness measured in terms of gallantry or etiquette (e.g., standing up for a woman who approaches a table, yielding a seat on the bus to an older person, etc.) and manner of expected dress are all examples of possible cultural differences and traditions. In Mexico it is customary for the arriving person to greet the others. For instance, someone who walks into a group of people eating would say provecho (enjoy your meal). In Chile, women often greet both other women and men with a kiss on the cheek. In Russia women often walk arm in arm with their female friends. Paying attention to customs and cultural differences can give someone outside that culture a better chance of assimilation or acceptance. Ignoring these can get an unsuspecting person into trouble. There are cultural and ideological differences and it is good to have an understanding about a culture’s customs and ways. Aaron Pun, a Canadian ODCnet correspondent, wrote: “In studying cross-cultural differences, we are not looking at individuals but a comparison of one ethnic group against others. Hence, we are comparing two bell curves and generalization s cannot be avoided.” Another correspondent explained the human need to categorize. True, but the danger comes when we act on some of these generalizations, especially when they are based on faulty observations. Acting on generalizations about such matters as eye contact, personal space, touch, and interest in participation can have serious negative consequences. 1.

In Mexico it is customary for the arriving person to greet the others. For instance, someone who walks into a group of people eating would say provecho(enjoy your meal). In Chile, women often greet both other women and men with a kiss on the cheek. In Russia women often walk arm in arm with their female friends. Paying attention to customs and cultural differences can give someone outside that culture a better chance of assimilation or acceptance. Ignoring these can get an unsuspecting person into trouble. There are cultural and ideological differences and it is good to have an understanding ab out a culture’s customs and ways. Aaron Pun, a Canadian ODCnet correspondent, wrote: “In studying cross-cultural differences, we are not looking at individuals but a comparison of one ethnic group against others. Hence, we are comparing two bell curves and generalizations cannot be avoided.” Another correspondent explained the human need to categorize. True, but the danger comes when we act on some of these generalizations, especially when they are based on faulty observations. Acting on generalizations about such matters as eye contact, personal space, touch, and interest in participation can have serious negative consequences. 1.
