Method: PPT, communicative approach.

Step 2: Discussion about the topic

Introduce the topic of the unit to Ss either in English or Chinese: Sometimes people buy things just for the purpose of showing that they are richer, or have better taste than others. Expensive brand-name goods can serve this purpose, and are often wanted precisely because they are expensive. Whether spending money in this way is good, bad or simply silly is something we are going to explore.

Method: Using task-based language teaching method, communicative approach.

3.2 Global reading

Step 1. Approaching the theme

Ask Ss to take a look at the Culture Notes, or ask them to do some further reading before class about the idiom “keep up with the Joneses”, its origins and its social impact, etc.

Method: PPT; communicative approach.

Step.2 Analyzing the text organization

The teacher tells students that the text can be divided into three parts which have been given in the Text Organization. Then students should summarize the main idea of each part and compare notes with each other.

Method: skimming and scanning, communicative approach

3.3.1 Procedure

1) Students are asked to read the passage carefully again and for each paragraph (sometimes

two-three paragraphs), invite students to answer questions related difficult sentences and understanding of each paragraph.

2) Help Ss find out the good usage in the text and underlined them.

3) Learn new words in details.

Purpose: Further understand the text and train scanning ability to learn difficult sentence structures as well as new words and expressions.

Method:Reading the text together; Using task-based language teaching method, reading approach, communicative approach, grammar-translation approach.

Step 1. Questions related difficult sentences and understanding of each paragraph. Paras.2

Q. Where does the phrase “Keeping up with the Joneses” come from?

A: It comes from a cartoon strip of the same title launched by Pop Momand in 1913.

Para.3&4

Q: Why were we not aware of what the Joneses were doing prior to the late 1880s?

A: Prior to the late 1880s, mass media was not born. We were only concerned about making our own living.

Para.4

Q: What was the ready solution provided by magazines in order for us to catch up with the Joneses?

A: The ready solution was to buy products that were advertised.

Para.9

Q: Where do true happiness and joy come from, if they are not anything money can buy?

A: True happiness and joy come from within.

Paras.10

Q: What are we supposed to do to stop keeping up with the Joneses?

A: Instead of buying into the message that we’re not good enough, we should have positive self-regard. We should realize we don’t have to buy things to impress others.

3.3.2 Language Focus

3.3.2.1 Difficult sentences:

1) I’d love to say that need vanished when the last episode of that comic strip ran, but alas, it seems to have only gotten worse. (Para. 2)

I would like to say that need disappeared when the comic strip came to an end, but it seems that things have turned from bad to worse instead.

我多么想说，随着最后一集连环漫画的结束，这一心态也不复存在了。可是，唉，情况似乎变得更糟。

2) Prior to the late 1880s, most of us were so busy trying to make a living that we didn’t care what the Joneses were doing, nor did we know, for that matter. (Para. 4)

Before the late 1880s, most of us were bu sy trying to make a living. We didn’t care what the Joneses were doing, and we didn’t know either.

19世纪80年代末以前，我们多数人都在忙于生计，既不关心、也不知道邻居们在做些什么。3) And much of that assessment was, and still is, based on a perceived lack of things we’re told we should want or have. (Para. 4)

And much of that evaluation was, and still is, based on a feeling that we are short of things we ought to have because of the messages from the mass media.

从过去直至现今，很大程度上这种认识源自一种缺失感，即感觉上与别人相比，缺少了一些该要或该有的东西。

4) Because ultimately, you decide if you’re going to buy into this idea that you’re not good enough. (Para. 7)

Because in the end, you determine whether you’re going to accept the notion that you’re not good enough.

因为最终是否接受你还不够好这一想法，由你自己说了算。

5) So it’s time to take some pressure off your self and stop trying to keep up with the Joneses — or anyone else for that matter. (Para. 8)

So it’s time to rid yourself of the pressure/free yourself from the pressure and stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. Nor should you try to keep up with anyone else.

所以，现在你该卸去你身上的压力了，不要再跟邻居攀比，也不要跟其他任何人攀比。

6) If you can’t put a cap on it, you’re chasing the wind. (Para. 9)

If you can’t put a limit on what you desire, you are undertaking a meaningless task that will lead you nowhere.

如果你不能设定一个上限，你便是在追风。

7) Think of the moments you look back on as your fondest memories. Would you trade those for a pile of cash? (Para. 9)

Think of the moments you look back on as your warmest memories. Would you exchange them for a pile of cash?

想一想回顾起来是最美好的记忆。你愿意拿它们去换一堆钱吗？

3.3.2.2Usage

Inverted Word Order(倒装语序)

Inverted word order is often used in the following cases:

1)when a sentence begins with a negative word, such as “not”, “never”, “hardly”, “seldom”, etc.

2)when a sentence begins with an “only” expression, such as “only before”, “only after”, “only

when”, “only if” ect.

3)when an adverbial of place such as “up the hill”, “down the valley”, etc. is put at the

beginning of a sentence.

3.3.2.3 Difficult words and phrases

全新版大学进阶英语综合教程第三册答案

Key to Exercises Opener Going on a working holiday has many advantages: ? A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. ? The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. ? You can try different types of jobs, even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense, a working holiday could be a life-changing experience. ? You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals, not just other tourists. They can introduce you to a new culture. ? A working holiday makes a good break. A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is the break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world. Transcript: A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up. You are able to pick up a job or two (or 6) and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country. In general, a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa. In Australia, for example, the typical tourist visa is for 3 months while a working holiday visa is for 12 months. With a working holiday visa, you can work as you go, meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad. Your method of travel may vary. Some prefer to travel up-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two different locations. Others prefer to work for a month, travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way, the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment. With a working holiday visa, you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job, and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when at home. You never know what you might discover. A working holiday, in this sense, could end up
