2.On the way to success, there must be many obstacles, how can one overcome them? Give us

your own experiences to show that.

From the last saying said by Michael’s father, it is known that hard work is important to success, but it is not the only factor that contributes to success. As it can be found out in this text, dreaming it equally important.

IV. Structure of Text A (45m)

List the questions on the blackboard, ask the students to read the text quickly in 10 minutes and then answer the questions.

1.Why is the competition at the National Junior Olympics described as the most challenging in

Michael’s pole-vaulting career?

Michael was preparing for the pole vault, and the pole was set at 17 feet three inches higher

2.

There are so many people watching the competition, because it combines the grace of a

4.

He began a careful training program in order to fulfill his flying dream.

5.What made Michael associate his final jump with his childhood dream?

Before the final jump, he felt nervous very much, and then he began to think about his mother, and took deep breath. After he overcame his nervous state, he began to run, and he felt it was like the flying in his dream, which indicated that he had achieved success that he expected for a long

6.

He was a blind man.

Summary:

Part I →Ques1-2 Michael was facing the most challenging competition in his

(para1-2) pole-vaulting career.

Part II →Ques3-4 Michael’s childhood was marked with dreams and tough

(para3-5) training

Part III →Ques5 Michael topped his personal best, won the championship and

(para6-12) set a new world record.

Part IV →Ques6 what was most unusual about Michael’s victory was that he

(para13) was blind.

V. Homework (5m)

Collect stories relevant to overcoming obstacles, especially those who do not have a sound body, and try to tell the story during the class.

Second Period

I. Review Task (10m)

Divide the class into several groups, and ask them to tell their stories to each other, and then choose one representative to tell the story during the class.

(Helen Keller: though she was blind and deaf, but she became a famous writer and teacher. Stephen Hawking: though he suffered a serious disease, and can’t move and speak, he became a famous scientist and developed a lot of influential theories. )

II. Detailed Analysis of the Text (60m)

1. Playing on the Meaning of Words (part I)

Many words have more than one meaning and can remind one of a number of different ideas and events all at once. For example, the first three sentences of paragraph one, in which a word is used in two different senses. What are they?

And ask the students to give their own opinion on the question: How do you understand the title “True Height”? Does it also carry more than one meaning?

After reading the whole text, it is known that the title of the text had more than one meaning. It can be understood as the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another, or it can be viewed as the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.

Extra reading for fun: each line has a word or words that remind us of an activity or discovery associated with the scientists mentioned, can you soot the words?

Replying to an Invitation to the a Scientists’ Ball

a. Pierre and Marie Curie were radiating enthusiasm;

b. Einstein thought it would be relatively easy to attend;

c. Edison thought it would be an illumination experience; (详见教参50页)

2.Writing Technique: flash back (part II)

As the text consists of the main story and a flashback, the narration has to switch from the ongoing competition to earlier events and then return to the ongoing competition. How does the author manage to make these parts in the text flow smoothly?

1)To repeat a key word; ask the students to find the key word that helps join part one and part

two.

2)To pick up a key idea and then repeat; ask the students to find the key idea that helps join

part two and part three.

Ask the students to pay more attention to the change of the tense. (Which sentence shows the beginning and ending of the flashback? past tense ---- part perfect tense ---- past tense)

3. Finding out Details (part II—part III)

1) A child usually inherits characteristics from both his or her mother and father. So does Michael. Michael’s mother is romantic and passionate, while his father is a hard-core realist. Ask the students to find out those details about Michael that show him to be his mother’s boy or his father’s son.

His parents’ different approaches to child rearing:

Mother: tell stories and picture the world romantically ---- free spirit and keen eye;

Father: believe in hard work and sweat ---- give him a careful training.

2) In your opinion, dreaming and hard word, which is more important to Michael’s success? Why?

4.Ask the Students to Answer These Questions (part IV)

1) Without the last sentence, would you still admire Michael’s achievement?

2) Who would you admire better, a Michael with a sound body or a blind Michael?

3) Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’s blindness until the last sentence?

From the text, it can be found that the most striking feature is the closing line. As we read on, our admiration for Michael is building up until we believe that, when Michael broke both national and international records, we have reached the climax. However, real climax is in the last sentence. When we find that out, what a great impact it has on us!

III Homework

1.Words and phrases: incline, in excellent health, horrible, suffer from, progressive, in spite of,

install, optimist, to a degree, hold onto, miserable, dismiss, ease, interval, penetrate, trait, shortcoming, disillusion, sanity, sweep over, honk the horn, jack up, humble.

2.Finish the comprehension check

3.Answer the question: how many parts should the text be divided into?

Third Period

I. Dictation:

Ask the students to put down the following phrases and ask them to translate them into Chinese or make sentences with them.

1) coincide with 2) bring (somebody) back to earth 3) in one’s mind’s eye

4) be ashamed of 5) bear (somebody/something) out 6) along with

7) stretch out 8) on one/two/several occasion(s)

II. Summary of Text A

From the text, we can find that the real climax is in the last sentence. Michael Stone, a blind athlete, dreamed flying passionately and he reached his destination after years of rigid training. On the way to his success, he overcomes some obstacles. He didn’t complain about his unfortunate, but strive to make a miracle of himself. His achievement was a proof that no matter who you are, no mater what you have experienced and no matter what confronts you, your job is to run for your dream via hardworking persistently. Life is a journey full of adventure, so you have to explore the ways to overcome the obstacles in your way to success.

III. Do the after-text exercises

IV. Analysis of text B: Fourteen Steps

1. Analysis of the title:

Usually, to go through fourteen steps is just a piece of cake for a healthy person. So we can infer that there must be something special or different in the story that we are going to read in the text. Probably it’s about a disabled man who has difficulties in finishing those fourteen steps. Therefore, the title suggests that we’ll learn something about obstacles or barriers or people’s attitudes towards those sufferings.

2. General Statement of the content:

It’s a story about a cripple, who got the disease of the motor nerves and finally had to rely on a crutch when walking. The story develops according to the changes of his attitude towards life since

he experienced lots of things, awful or meaningful. In the following part, the changes will be discussed in detail.

3. Analysis of the structure and the development of the story:

1) It’s said that a cat has nine lives and the author believed that possible because he thought that he was living his third life. Ask the students to scan the text, while keeping the questions in mind how his three lives differ from each other and in what respects.

2) Since the author believed that he had three lives, the text could be divided into three parts:

Part One: My First Life (Para.1-3)

The teacher could list some key words here, which can remind the students of the content and ask some of the students to retell the original sentences in the text. (very happy, excellent healthy, two lovely girls, good job, etc.)

→The author had a happy family, excellent healthy, a good job and two beautiful girls. Since everything went on well, his first life was a pleasant dream.

Part Two: My Second Life (Para. 4-11)

For this part, the teacher and the students can do the narration together or they can do the Q&A exercise.

What happened?

→Every dream has an end, whether it is good or not. The author’s pleasant dream, his first life, ended when the terrible disease crept towards him and left him disabled.

What’s his attitude towards the incident?

→At first, he managed to keep healthy and optimistic with the help of those fourteen steps. (Para.6-8)

→ As he became older, he became more disillusioned and frustrated. He believed that he was one of the most unfortunate people who were doomed to suffer from those pains.

Part Three: My Third Life (Para. 12-29)

As for this part, there is a story that made great difference to the author’s attitude.

The teacher could choose to pick out some words and ask the students to retell the story.( a dark night, raining, terrible nature, utterly impossible, lighted windows, a little girl, cheerful greetings, a long interval, bent, slightly built, frozen, etc.)

(Reference: One raining night, something was going wrong with my car when I started home, and I needed to change the tire. But I believed that it was utterly impossible for me to do that on such a nasty day. I needed help. Then I came to the house whose lighted windows welcomed me. I honked the horn and finally there came a little girl who asked her grandpa to came out afterwards. While I sitting there comfortable and dry, they were doing the work in the terrible situation. I felt sorry but soon I comforted myself that I would pay them for it. Finally it was done, and I noticed that the man was old, bent and slightly built. I intended to pay him but was turned and to my great astonishment, I found the man was blind. The next moment appeared to be a freezing time for me since I felt ashamed of what I have done and what I had thought.)

3) After the narration, the teacher could guide the students to analyze the implied meaning of some words. Here are several examples.

a. utterly impossible: it indicates that the author himself was not willing to overcome the difficulties himself and he had already exclude him out of the able people.

b. lighted windows: it indicates that the people in that house must be very warm and kind-hearted. Because according to our common sense, light can always give warm and comfort to people who do not feel well.

c. cheerful greetings: it indicates that different from the author’s unpleasant mood, the old man was

glad to offer his help though it might be tougher for him, a blind old man, to change the tire in the rain.

d. few frozen seconds: it indicates that the author was shocked and ashamed of his behavior and thoughts. Something was changing in his mind.

4) Ask some students to translate some sentences.

a. Here hobbled a bitterly disillusioned cripple, a man who held on to his sanity and his wife and his home and his job because of 14 miserable steps leading to the back door from his garage.

这里一瘸一拐走着的是一个幻想破灭﹑内心痛苦的跛子,一个靠着汽车间通往后门的那14级台阶才没有失去理智﹑没有丢下妻室并坚持工作的男人。

b. I sat there and said a prayer. I prayed for strength, for a greater understanding, for keener awareness of my shortcomings.

我坐在那里祷告。我祈求力量,祈求更多的理解,祈求对自己的缺点有更加深刻的认识。

II. Guide the students to finish the following table

III. Concluding words of this unit:

God is fair to everyone! Those who lost something always complain about life. What matters most is to make optimistic, focus on the positive side and try your best to offer their help to the people whose are suffering is different greater pains.

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文原文及翻译

One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence more than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West. When any innovation is examined closely, its reliance on previous achievements is all too apparent (the "standing on the shoulders of giants" phenomenon). But assuming that the contrast I have developed is valid, and that the fostering of skills and creativity are both worthwhile goals, the important question becomes this: Can we gather, from the Chinese and American extremes, a superior way to approach education, perhaps striking a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills?

BOOK2课文译文 UNIT1 TextA 中国式的学习风格 1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店堂。 我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙,可以交给服务员,也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。由于口子狭小,你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。 本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去,边走边用力摇晃着。他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。由于他还年幼,不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成,因此总塞不进去。本杰明一点也不在意。他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。 我和埃伦都满不在乎,任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙箱槽口鼓捣。他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁,都会走过来看着本杰明,见他初试失败,便都会试图帮忙。他们会轻轻握牢本杰明的手,直接将它引向钥匙槽口,进行必要的重新定位,并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑,似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉,似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。 我很快意识到,这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关:考察儿童早期教育(尤其是艺术教育)的方式,揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。因此,不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。 两种不同的学习方式

我的中国同行,除了少数几个人外,对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是走近槽口的最终目的,既然孩子还很年幼,还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作,让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。为什么不教他怎么做呢?他会高兴,他还能早些学会做这件事,进而去学做更复杂的事,如开门,或索要钥匙——这两件事到时候同样可以(也应该)示范给他看。 我俩颇为同情地听着这一番道理,解释道,首先,我们并不在意本杰明能不能把钥匙塞进钥匙的槽口。他玩得开心,而且在探索,这两点才是我们真正看重的。但关键在于,在这个过程中,我们试图让本杰明懂得,一个人是能够很好地自行解决问题的。这种自力更生的精神是美国中产阶级最重要的一条育儿观。如果我们向孩子演示该如何做某件事——把钥匙塞进钥匙槽口也好,画只鸡或是弥补某种错误行为也好——那他就不太可能自行想方设法去完成这件事。从更广泛的意义上说,他就不太可能——如美国人那样——将人生视为一系列 的情境,在这些情境中,一个人必须学会独立思考,学会独立解决问题,进而学会发现需要创造性地加以解决的新问题。 把着手教 回想起来,当时我就清楚地意识到,这件事正是体现了问题的关键之所在——而且不仅仅是一种意义上的关键之所在。这件事表明了我们两国在教育和艺术实践上的重要差异。 那些善意的中国旁观者前来帮助本杰明时,他们不是简单地像我可能会做的那样笨拙地或是犹犹豫豫地把他的手往下推。相反,他们极其熟练地、轻轻地把他引向所要到达的确切方向。 我逐渐认识到,这些中国人不是简单地以一种陈旧的方式塑造、引导本杰明的行为:他们是在恪守中国传统,把着手教,教得本杰明自己会愉快地要求再来一次。

Globalization is sweeping aside national borders and changing relations between nations. What impact does this have on national identities and loyalties? Are they strengthened or weakened? The author investigates. 全球化正在扫除国界、改变国与国之间的关系。这对国家的认同和对国家的忠诚会带来什么影响呢?它们会得到加强还是削弱?作者对这些问题进行了探讨。 In Search of Davos ManPeter Gumbel 1. William Browder was born in Princeton, New Jersey, grew up in Chicago, and studied at Stanford University in California. But don't call him an American. For the past 16 of his 40 years he has lived outside the ., first in London and then, from 1996, in Moscow, where he runs his own investment firm. Browder now manages $ billion in assets. In 1998 he gave up his American passport to become a British citizen, since his life is now centered in Europe. "National identity makes no difference for me," he says. "I feel completely international. If you have four good friends and you like what you are doing, it doesn't matter where you are. That's globalization." 寻找达沃斯人 彼得·甘贝尔 威廉·布劳德出生于新泽西州的普林斯顿,在芝加哥长大,就读于加利福尼亚州的斯坦福大学。但别叫他美国人。他今年40岁,过去16年来一直生活在美国以外的地方,先是在伦敦,1996年后在莫斯科经营他自己的投资公司。布劳德如今掌管着价值16亿美元的资产。1998年,他放弃美国护照,成为英国公民,因为他现在的生活中心在欧洲。“国家认同对我来说不重要,”他说,“我觉得自己完全是个国际人。如果你有四个朋友,又喜欢你所做的事情,那么你在哪儿无关紧要。这就是全球化。” 2. Alex Mandl is also a fervent believer in globalization, but he views himself very differently. A former president of AT&T, Mandl, 61, was born in Austria and now runs a French technology company, which is doing more and more business in China. He reckons he spends about 90% of his time traveling on business. But despite all that globetrotting, Mandl who has been a . citizen for 45 years still identifies himself as an American. "I see myself as American without any hesitation. The fact that I spend a lot of time in other places doesn't change that," he says. 亚历克斯·曼德尔也是全球化的狂热信徒,但他对自己的看法与布劳德不同。61岁的曼德尔曾任美国电报电话公司总裁。他出生于奥地利,现在经营着一家法国技术公司,该公司在中国的业务与日俱增。他估计自己几乎90%的时间都花在出差上。然而,尽管曼德尔全球到处跑,已经做了45年美国公民的他还是认为自己是个美国人。“我毫不迟疑地把自己当作美国人。我在其他地方度过很多时间,但是这一事实不能改变我是美国人,”他说。 3. Although Browder and Mandl define their nationality differently, both see their identity as a matter of personal choice, not an accident of birth. And not incidentally, both are Davos Men, members of the international business élite who trek each year to the Swiss Alpine town for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, founded in 1971. This week, Browder and Mandl will join more than 2,200 executives, politicians, academics, journalists, writers and a handful of Hollywood stars for five days of networking, parties and endless earnest discussions about everything from post-election Iraq and HIV in Africa to the global supply of oil and the implications of nanotechnology. Yet this year, perhaps more than ever, a hot topic at Davos is Davos itself. Whatever their considerable differences, most Davos Men and
