Helen Keller was no longer able to see or hear after she was sick at the age of 19 months. Her world was totally dark and silent. Yet Helen Keller became a teacher, writer and lecturer. She was inside the hearts of millions of people.

How did this miracle happen? For the first six years and nine months of her life she was almost like a wild animal. Her father and mother could not control her. She screamed and kicked because she wanted other people to understand her. She wanted

to communicate with them but there was no way. Finally Helen’s parents sent for a teacher. Her name was Anne Mansfield Sullivan. And Helen Keller’s education began.

Miss Sullivan had once been blind herself and she was an extremely gifted teacher. She constantly spelled out words in Helen’s hand. At first Helen didn’t understand the connection between words and things. But once she understood this connection she was eager to learn everything. She couldn’t see or hear so she learned by touch and feeling. Helen also learned foreign languages: French, German, Latin and Greek. She learned to write and speak. Helen always wanted to do what other people did. She went to college and her teacher went with her and helped her graduate with honors.

Through her lectures and her writing Helen Keller reached millions of people. Her life is an inspiration to people everywhere.

neatly.

1.Family has a great influence on our personal development.

2.An ideal family should _________.

3.Since family plays a very important role in our life, ________.

Sample

Family and Personal Development

Family has a great influence on our personal development. If we are from a happy family, we tend to be cheerful and optimistic. If we are brought up in an unhappy family, we may grow up miserable and pessimistic. If we are not loved in our family, we may not learn to love others.

An ideal family should be a place where we can get warmth, help, comfort and strength. It should also be a source of laughter, as laughter is a good means to lessen the tension and pressure we all face every day. A family should be where we cultivate our self-confidence, which is crucial to our further development and to our mental health.

Since family plays a very important role in our life, it is up to every family member to contribute to the building of such an ideal family. We should be considerate and understanding. We should love and show concern for each other. We should strive to establish a happy family. After all, if every family is happy, the whole society will be stable, and we can get full personal development as well.

Conclusion

The new words and reading material of this unit are a little bit difficult. The topic is unfamiliar to Ss, so Ss’ vocabulary on the topic is too limited to express their view freely. Ss can digest the key points and difficulties. Five language skills are covered, and Teaching aims are achieved. T helps Ss with the abilities of self-study, effective

communication, information analysis, and thinking in English. Ss are going to process English material and attempt to express their own opinions; taste the joy and success of English communication; and cultivate Ss’ team-working spirits

新编大学英语教案(第二册)_Unit 2 Communication Problems

Unit Two Communication problems T eaching Objectives 1. Let the students have some ideas of the common ways we usually use in our daily life to communicate. 2. Make the students find the efficient ways to communicate with each other. 3. Let the students come up with the ways to avoid misunderstandings. T eaching allotment six academic hours Focus points 1.key words and phrases assume, conflict, convey, emphasis, ignore, misinterpret, react, verge, feel like, for effect, on the verge of, pull out, take----lightly 2.difficult sentences 1) When Martians and V enusians first got together, they encountered many of the problems with relationships we have today. 2) 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. 3) To fully express their feelings, women would tend to exaggerate the facts a little bit for effect and use various superlatives, metaphors, and generalizations. 3.grammar focus prefix “mis---”的不同意义 Related Information It is well-known that 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. 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.

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.

原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较

龙源期刊网 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/924022896.html, 原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较 作者：叶文彦 来源：《速读·下旬》2019年第09期 ◆摘; 要：本文先介绍了英语原版教材在中国高校的使用现状，又从教学目标、教学理念和选材三方面对原版英语教材和国内自编教材进行了比较，最后提出应该基于本土情况对原版英语教材进行一定程度的本地化。 ◆关键词：原版英语教材;国内自编教材 近年来，越来越多的高校开始关注原版英语教材，因其地道的语言和独特的英语文化等特点，许多教师在课堂上广泛地运用这类教材。 一、原版英语教材在中国高校使用的现状 伴随着全球化的深入，中国高校对于英语的教学要求也在逐年提升。高校不仅要培养具备英语基础知识的人才，还立足于培养出能熟练运用专门用途英语的人才。教育部也多次出台文件强调双语教学在高校教学中的重要性，更规定了大学课程中使用双语教学的比例。而教材对于双语教学有着至关重要的作用，教材的质量很大程度上决定了该课程的教学质量。现今高校双语教育的教材多可归为两个类型，即原版英语教材和国内自编教材。众多著名高校纷纷采用原版英语教材教学，多的数目甚至高达百门。课时在实际操作中还是暴露出了一些问题。一方面，很多原版教材难度较高，学生因而产生畏难情绪，与母国文化相比有较大的文化差异，挑战了学生的成长价值觀，另一方面国内自编教材又常常过于简单，有教条化的问题，无法起到实战指导的作用。整体来说，原版英语教材确有其优势，例如英语语言的准确性，教授知识的快速更迭以及纯正西方文化的传播。而且国内自编教材的出版周期要比原版英语教材场，从内容的时效性看就不是特别强。所以在高校课堂中有选择地使用经过评估的高质量原版英语教材是可行的，它既能帮助学生提高英语水平，又能有效提升教学的品质。可是，原版英语教材也存在一些问题，例如文化差异、知识产权、教学理念的冲突等等，所以比较恰当的做法是在比较原版英语教材和国内自编教材并进行分析的基础上对原版教材做一定程度的本土化。 二、原版英语教材与国内自编教材之比较 1.教学目标差异 原版英语教材的教学目标是培养学生实际运用语言的能力，教材编写时往往遵循交际教学法的原则，会呈现出较浓厚的交际分为。比如，经济科学出版社出版的《新编剑桥商务英语》就是属于这个类别，该教材自引进面世以来在我国广受欢迎，成为了最经典的商务英语教材之一。《新编剑桥商务英语》编写的主要目的就是让学生在提高语言能力的基础之上，以交互的

Unit-6-A-World-of-Mystery新编大学英语第二版第一册课文翻译

Unit 6 A World of Mystery The Bermuda Triangle [1] On 5th December 1945, Flight 19, which consisted of five US Navy planes, took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in fine weather. There was a total of fourteen men on board the planes. The planes were in good condition; they had the best equipment on board including compasses and radios, and they also carried life rafts. The planes could float on water for ninety seconds. One and a half hours after the take-off, a radio message from one of the planes was heard at the control tower at Fort Lauderdale. [2] "I don't know where we are." [3] After that the planes could no longer speak to the control tower, but they could speak to and hear each other, and the control tower could hear them. [4] "The magnetic compass is going crazy." [5] "We're completely lost." [6] No other messages were heard after that. Nobody else heard from the planes or saw them again. Three hundred planes and many boats searched the area, but not one trace of Flight 19 was found. Then one of the planes that was sent to look for them also disappeared completely. [7] These planes had disappeared in a very mysterious part of the world in the western Atlantic Ocean where lots of strange events have taken place. The mystery started long before 1945, and since that year many other ships and planes have also disappeared in this area. It is called the Bermuda Triangle. It is a large, triangular area of the ocean with the island of Bermuda at its northern tip. [8] Planes and ships disappear in other parts of the world, but there are more disappearances in the Triangle than in other areas. For years now scientists and others have been puzzled by this mystery. There have been many attempts to explain why people, planes and ships disappear in such high numbers here . [9] One writer, John Spencer, believes that the ships and planes have been carried off from the sea and sky by flying saucers or UFOs from another planet. Since there are millions of other planets in the universe, Spencer believes there must be other intelligent creatures somewhere in the universe. These creatures are interested in collecting humans and their equipment so that they can examine them carefully. [10] Another theory is that the geography of the area is responsible for the disappearances of the ships and planes. Bermuda lies on an earthquake belt.

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. 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 2

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
