Unit 1 Growing up

Text A Writing for Myself

I. Teaching Plan

1.Objectives

1)Grasp the main idea (the essence of writing is to write what one enjoys writing.) And structure of the text (narration in chronological sequence);

2)Appreciate the narrative skills demonstrated in the text (selection of details, repetition, coherence.);

3)Master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;

4)Conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of the unit. 2. Time allotment

3. Pre-reading tasks

1)Have you listened to John Lennon's Beautiful Boy? (2 minutes)

The teacher (T) may ask several students (Ss) this question:

__What does Lennon think of growing up?

(Possible answers: Life better as one grows up; it takes time to grow up; life is not always what one has planned, but is full of surprises; life is adventurous.)

2)The art of eating spaghetti (15 minutes)

a)Before class, T cuts a sheet of paper into many long, thin strips, which he/she brings to class together with fork (Or: if possible, T brings a platter of boiled noodles to class together with a fork).

b)T explains that spaghetti is Italian-style noodles, and that unlike some Chinese noodles. It will never taste pulpy and is usually served with sauce, not in soup. Several Ss are invited to come up with “proper ways of eating spaghetti” and demonstrate to the class, using the fork.

c)T dictates the following passage to Ss (pre-teach some words like “poke”, “scoop”, “prong”, “twirl” if necessary):

i.Hold the fork in your hand as if to poke the spaghetti.

ii.Scoop up a small amount of spaghetti on your fork and raise it about 30 cm above your plate.

iii.Make sure the spaghetti on your fork is completely disconnected from the remainder on your plate.

iv.Put the prongs of the fork at an edge of the plate that is free of food.

v.Quickly point the prongs of the fork straight down toward the plate and place the points on the plate.

vi.Twirl the fork to gather the spaghetti around the prongs.

vii.With a quick scooping movement, gather up the roll around the prongs and place it in your mouth.

viii.Gently gather up any stray spaghetti ends that don't make it all the way into your mouth.

d)T asks one S to come up and demonstrate the right way of eating spaghetti.

3)T asks Ss the following questions:(8 minutes)

__Would you enjoy writing “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”? Why or why not?

__Why did Russell Baker enjoy writing “The Art of Eating Spaghetti”? (Hint: Para.4)

__Look at the title of Text A, then find out in which paragraph a similar phrase appears. Read that paragraph carefully and explain in your own words what the author means by saying “write for myself”. (Hint: Para.5) 4. While –reading tasks

1.Grasping the structure of the text: (15 minutes)

1)Ss circle all the time words, phrases in Text A (They include: since my childhood in Belleville, until my third year in high school, until then, when our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English, late in the year, until the night before the essay was due, when I finished, next morning, two days passed, when I saw him lift my paper his desk… when Mr. Fleagle finished). When they finish, T asks several Ss to read aloud what they have circled.

2)T draws Ss'attention to Organization Exercise 2 , reads its instructions, and asks them these two questions:

__Refer to the time words/phrases/clauses you have just circled and tell from which point on Baker starts talking about his new experience. (Hint: the paragraph containing “later in the year”)

__Starting from which paragraph does Baker stop writing about his new experience? (hint: the paragraph containing “when I finished” and “next morning”

3)In this way Ss will be able to divide the text into 3 parts and sum up the main ideas.

4)Several Ss report the main ideas they have summed up to the class.

2.Cultural background---T explains the U.S. grade school system and how school teachers are dressed. (see

Cultural Notes) (3 minutes)

3.T explains language points and gives Ss practice. (see Language Study) (60 minutes)

4.Grammatical structures. (25 minutes)

1)T asks Ss to form pairs and ask each other questions based on Para. 2 using the structure “sb./ sth. is said/believed/reported to do/be”. T may offer the following model:

__What kind of person is Mr. Fleagle?

__He was said/reported/believed to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out-of-date.

Afterwards, a pair or two may repeat their questions and answers to the class.

2)Ss do Structure Exercise 2 in the textbook.

5.T draws Ss' attention to Writing strategy in Theme-related Language Learning Tasks, especially the part about details. (also see Text Analysis) T then asks the following questions:

__In Part 1, what details are selected to show “I' d been bored with everything associated with English courses”?

__In Part 1, what details are given to show that Mr. Fleagle was dull and rigid?

__In Part 2, which sentences show that at first Baker was unwilling to write the essay?

__In Part 3, the author didn't tell us directly that his essay was very good. By which sentences did he manage to give us the impression that his essay was very good? (12 minutes)

6.Synonymous words or phrases in this text (see Text Analysis):

1)T chooses one words from each group of synonyms listed in Text Analysis, and asks Ss to scan for respective synonyms. If Ss' findings are inconclusive, T may reveal those they have neglected.

2)T may further provoke Ss' thinking by this question: Why does Russell Baker employ all these synonymous words and phrases? (15 minutes)

7.When T and Ss come to the sentence “In the eleventh grade, at the eleventh hour as it were, I had discovered a calling.” In Para. 9, T may ask Ss to recall a similar sentence they have read. (Para.1, “The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold.”) By this T will show Ss the importance of coherence in writing. (5 minutes)

5. Exercises

1.Think alone: According to Mr. Fleagle, what is the very essence of the essay? (5 minutes)

Then T invites several Ss to give their opinions. T may sum up by this sentence---The essence of good essay is to write what one enjoys writing about.

2.T checks if Ss have done the rest of the after-text exercises in their spare time, and discusses some

common errors that crop up. (10 minutes)

3.T checks on Ss' home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)

4.Ss do Part Iv: Theme-related Language Learning Tasks in class. (1 period)

5.T asks Ss to prepare the next unit:

1)Do the pre-reading task;

2)Preview Text A. (2 minutes)

6.Confusable phrases.

Severe, stern & strict

Severe: 作“严厉”解时，可以来形容人（severe father）,人的面貌（severe look 严厉的神色），人的态度（the teacher is severe with his students.教师对学生很严厉。Stern与severe相近，但用途比较窄，一般用于人的容貌或态度。例如 a severe father和 a stern father都可以用，但含义稍有有同：a severe father 指对于子女有严厉的要求，积极的意义较多；a stern father则指对子女不含温情，要他们服从，消极的意味较多。

Strict相当于汉语的“严格的”，须先假定有一种客观的标准（如规章、纪律、定义、真理等）。例如：The teacher is strict with his students.

There is a strict regulation against smoking in the auditorium.

6. Writing Strategy

How to write a narrative (记叙文) （1）

The essay are going to write is, in a sense, an account of what once happened to you in your life. Writings of this kind usually take the form of narration. When planning a narrative, you should consider the following points:

●Context

When, where, and to whom the action of a narrative happened is often made clear at the beginning of the narrative. This will provide the reader with a context so that he may have no difficulty in understanding the whole story.

●Selection of Details

A narrative comprises details. It is important to remember only those details that help bring out the main idea of the narrative are useful and effective. When selecting details, therefore, you should keep in mind your purpose in writing the narrative.

Homework writing: My favorite teacher

II.Text Analysis

Russell Baker is very good at selecting details (see Part Iv Writing Strategy) to prove his point. For example, in Para. 2 he creates an unfavorable image of Mr. Fleagle by describing his “formal, rigid and hopelessly out-of-date” eyeglasses, hairstyle, clothes, jaw, nose, and manner of speaking.

What's more, Russell Baker employs repetition not only to make it easy for readers to follow what he is saying, but also to impress them more deeply. For example, in Para. 2, there are 9 prim's or primly's in as few as 3 sentences! Thus readers will have in their mind a vivid picture of what Mr. Fleagle looked like. Another example of such repetition can be found in Para. 5. Count how many I wanted's there are in this paragraph (There're 5!). They help to emphasize Russell Baker's strong desire to write for himself.

On the other hand, where this stylistic device is not justified, Baker is also expert in avoiding repetition by employing synonymous words and phrases. Here are some examples:

a.dull, lifeless, cheerless, tedious

b.turn out, write, compose, put down

c.anticipate, prepare for

d.formal, rigid, prim, correct, proper, respectable

e.vivid memories of sth. come flooding back to sb., sth. reawakes in one's mind, sb. Recalls sth.

f.recapture, relive

g.pleasure, delight, happiness

h.contempt, ridicule

i.topic, title

III.Cultural Notes

Grade schools in the U.S.: It is necessary to have some knowledge of grade schools in the U.S. because Ss have to realize that “the third year in high school” (Para.1) equals “the eleventh grade” (Para.9). U.S. students generally go through elementary schools (kindergarten to 5th or 6th .grade), middle schools (grades 6-8) or junior high schools (grades 7-9), and high schools (grades 9-12 or 10-12).

1.What American teachers wear in school: Nowadays, people in the U.S. love to dress casually. Even

among those companies with a rigid dress code some now allow employees not to wear suits on Fridays. U.S. teachers wear fairly formal clothes to school, but not necessarily suits and ties. Bow ties are considered even more old-fashioned than ties.

2.Spaghetti and the proper way of eating it: Spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cooked by boiling and served with sauce. Usually you would put a fork into a plate of spaghetti, turn the fork several times so that spaghetti will wind around the fork, then place the fork into you mouth. It's impolite to suck.

Unit 2 Friendship

Text A: All the Cabbie Had Was a Letter

I. Teaching Plan

1. Objectives

Students will be able to:

1) grasp the main idea(never delay expressing your true feelings to a friend) and structure of the text(developing a story around a letter)

2) appreciate that speaking English is much more informal than written English

3) grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text

4) conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.

2. time allotment

3. Pre-reading tasks

1) Teacher asks several Students the flowing questions to check if they have listened to the recorded song That’s What Friends are For:

i. What is a fair weather friend?

(One who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives)

ii. According to the song, what are friends for?

(For both good times and bad times.)

2) Survey:

i. Teacher Writes down the following words on the blackboard: frequently, sometimes, rarely, never. Then teacher asks students to indicate how often they write to friends by raising hands when teacher reads out these four listed choices. Teacher tallies the total for each category, wtites the numbers down under the respective choices on the blackboard. Teacher and students will then have a general idea of the letter-writing habit for the

class.

ii. Teacher invites several students to give reasons for writing or not writing letters.

iii. Teacher sums up and 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 going to find in this text, we may leave it too late to write, and letters are the best in expressing our innermost feelings.

4. While-reading tasks

1) Skimming

i. Students work in pairs to skim the text and find out how many questions the narrator asked the cabbie and what were the latter’s responses.

They are:

a.Is your cab available?

--- Yes.

b.Is the letter from a child or a grandchild?

--- Ed was my oldest friend.

c.He’s someone you’ve known quite a while?

--- All my life.

d.Did you go to school together?

--- All the way through high school.

e.Is he dead?

--- He died a couple of weeks ago.

f.Did you two work at the same place?

--- No, but we hung out together when single, later we grew more distant.

g.The letter must have made you feel good, didn’t it?

--- (The driver said something that the narrator couldn’t understand.)

h.I thought your friend was Ted. Why did he sign it Tom?

--- The letter was not from Ed to me, I am Tom. It’s a letter I wrote to him before I knew he’d died. So I never mailed it.

ii. One pair of students perform the questions and answers for the class. Before doing so, teacher explains that they needn’t read word-for-word from the text, but should use their own words to get the meaning across.

iii. Teacher asks other students these questions:

a.At first, did you mistake Ed for the writer of this letter, like the storyteller did?

b.When did you realize your mistake?

c.Which round of question-and-answer leads to the mistake? (second)

iv. Teacher points out that a surprising ending is sometimes adopted in stories.(The Last Leaf by O’Henry, Necklace byMaupassant)(20 minutes)

2)Students do text organization exercise. Teacher may offer a clue that the last paragraph alone constitutes the last part.(5 minutes)

3)Teacher explains language points in Part I and gives students practice. (see Language Study)(30 minutes)

4)Appreciate the difference between spoken English and written English.

i. Teacher reads out the following sentences and students try to find out sentences of similar meaning in the text:

ii. Teacher asks sentences which sentences are more colloquial, those in the text or those given by the teacher. iii. Teacher explains that since this story is developed mainly through the conversation between the cabbie and his passenger, its language tends to be simpler and more colloquial, sentences tend to be shorter or even incomplete.(15 minutes )

5)Teacher explains language points in Part II and gives students practice. (see Language Study)(30 minutes)

6)Teacher elicits from students several ways to keep a conversation going on:

---ask questions

---agree with what one’s conversation partner has said

---make guesses about past events or predictions about future events. Students scan Part I and Part II to find out relevant examples employed by the narrator. (10 minutes)

7)Teacher asks students:

What is the lessons the storyteller learnt from the cabbie?

Never delay expressing one’s true feelings to a friend. (5 minutes)

5. Exercises

Collocation: noun + prep

Many nouns often have dependent prepositions which simply have to be learnt together.

a couple of, delight at, a reputation for, reference to, demand for, a hand at

Usage:

1) the proper position of modifiers( including nouns, pronouns and adjectives):

little food left, no washing machine available, all children, all of them

2) ways of making an opinion sound less definite by using the following expressions:

something, or something, kind of, sort of, more or less

Structure:

1) may/might (just) as well

Although he isn’t family, he might just as well have been family.

2) verb(taste, smell, look, feel, sound) + as if

The milk smells as if it is sour.

6. Writing Strategy

How to write a personal letter:

There are two types of letters: business letters and personal letters. A business letter usually consists of six parts: the heading, the inside address, the salutation, the body, the complimentary close, and the signature. Personal letters need not cover all these parts. The heading and inside address are usually omitted.

Write a letter to one of your old classmates, teachers, friends or anyone you want to.

II. Text Analysis

1.Spoken English and written English.

Most of the text is 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 tends to be short and simple. Some sentences are incomplete, for example:

“(Is the letter) from a child or a grandchild?”

“(You) Went to school together?”

“Time.”

“(I have) Enjoyed talking with you.”

Besides some words or 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, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do something, not much of a hand at, a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot of.

2.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.”

“Well, we should all keep in touch with old friends more than we do. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”

For another, he asks questions directly to get more information out of the cabbie:

“You said ‘was’. Does that mean--?”

“Did you two work at the same place?”

Sometimes he asks indirect questions by making guesses:

“From a child or maybe a grandchild?”

“Went to school together.”

III. 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 to give treats rather than having tricks played on them.

Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

UNIT 1 Want to know how to improve your grades without having to spend more time studying? Sounds too good to be true? Well, read on... How to Improve Y our Study Habits Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. Y ou do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. Y ou can receive better grades if you want to. Y es, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here's how: 1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed（指定的时间）time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play. Plan your time carefully: topic sentence Supporting sentences 展开句 Fill in/out :write in; complete sth by putting whatever is needed Listen carefully and fill in the numbers you’ve heard from the tape. decide on: choose from two or more possibilities or make a decision about I’ve decided on leaving for New Y ork the day after tomorrow. Be sure (to do sth): not fail (to do sth) Be sure to leave adequate time for play. Be sure to write to us as soon as you get there. Be sure not to be late again. set aside：keep or save for special use or purpose Why don’t you set aside some money so that you can use it when you’re in need? as well: also , too This book tells Lu Hsun’s writings, and his life as well. With the changes in their social role, women’s position in the family has been improved as well. Be/ become aware of: know sth; know(what is happening) Are you aware of the importance of learning a foreign language? 2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. concentrate on/ upon : give all one’s attention or efforts, etc. to I can’t concentrate on my studies, for I’m homesick.思乡 Airsick晕飞机 seasick 晕船 3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well. Look over: examine; inspect I looked hurriedly over the apples in the basket and took one that looked good. They looked over several kinds of new bikes before making up their minds to buy. My sister is busy looking over her mail. 4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.

新编大学英语综合教程3课文翻译

Unit 1 Personality In-Class Reading 羞怯的痛苦 1 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。 2 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。 3 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。 4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。 5 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
