Unit 7 Emergency Text A “Kids on the Track!”

☆T eaching Objectives of this Unit:

Students will be able to

1. Understand the main idea (Anthony Falzo saved two children in a courageous deed) and structure of the

text (three parts—what happened before, during and after the incident);

2. Appreciate the advantages of specific words over general words;

3. Grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;

4. Conduct a series of listening, speaking and writing activities centered upon the theme of the unit.

5. Appreciate some writing skills of a narration: hint, compare and contrast, coherence.

☆For T eachers’ leading words for this Unit:

In Unit 6 we talks about animal intelligence, through those interesting researches we get to know that when dealing with captivity and human beings, animals in order to serve their purpose, they may behave rather intelligent even out of our expectation. Love, care, courage, many feelings can be found in animals. However, animal intelligence is meant to serve survival; it’s in their own interest. For example, a mother whale can figure out the urgency of the situation, make a good judgment and act accordingly to help the keeper give her baby whale emergency care. But much probably, it will never risk its life to save a stranger. This is the difference between human beings and animals.

And in this Unit, we are luckily to share a very movable story---perfectly exemplifies human beings’courage, intelligence, love, cool-headedness.

Previewing task: T asks Ss to read text A of unit 7 and search as much information about emergency as possible.☆First Period:

I. Background knowledge:

1. Rail Corporations in the US:

Consolidated Rail Corporation (or ConRail): federally aided company, formed in 1975 by merger of seven mid-western and northeastern US railroads.

National Railroad Passenger Corporation (known as Amtrak): with the formation of it in 1971, intercity railroad passenger services in the United States began to receive government support. By most standards, Amtrak succeeded in reviving passenger train services.

2. New Jersey : Became 3rd state in the Union on Dec.18,1787

New Jersey is one of the Middle Atlantic States. Its northern neighbor is New Y ork. To the west it is separated from Pennsylvania and Delaware by the Delaware River and Bay. To the south is Delaware Bay and to the east, the Atlantic Ocean. In its northeastern corner New Jersey is separated from New Y ork City by three different bodies of water -- the Hudson River; Arthur Kill, which runs along the western shore of Staten Island; and Kill V an Kull, which flows north of the island into Upper New Y ork Bay. (Kill is from a Dutch word meaning “channel.”) Thus, except for 50 miles (80 kilometers) in the north the state is entirely surrounded by water.

New Jersey’s capital is Trenton (since 1790), and its greatest natural resource is its location, which has made the state a crossroads of commerce and an ideal area for manufacturing. Other commercial advantages include its extensive transportation system, which puts one quarter of all the United States consumers within overnight delive ry range. Lake and seaside resorts have contributed to New Jersey’s rank of fifth among the states in revenues from tourism.

New Jersey’s nickname is Garden State, in recognition of the many truck farms that feed residents in New Jersey and nearby states. It also has many scenic areas in the rural sections away from New Y ork City.

N.J’s State Symbols and others:

the order is---flag, seal, tree(Red Oak), Flower(Purple Violet)

Motto:Liberty and Prosperity

Note: the information above is selective for Teachers.

II.Listening to the tape and asks several Ss the following questions:

---- How did the father understand courage at first? (hint: to have no fear of certain things)

---- What did courage mean to the father after the fire? (hint: to risk one’s life for other people) (5 minutes)

----How do you understand courage, especially in daily life?

Suggested summing up words for Ts:

Courage is defined by the dicti onary as “the state or quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face danger, fear, or vicissitudes with self-possession, confidence, and resolution; bravery.” Basically, I guess what that means is courage is finding the strength to face your fears head-on, take a stand, and act on your decision. Some people have an innate sense of courage. We call theses people the heroes of our world---the ones who possess the quality to act fearlessly for the good of others without thinking or regard for the consequences to themselves. These are exemplified by the men and women who serve as soldiers for their country in times of war or the police, firemen, medical and emergency personnel who provide services during times of disaster or epidemics; or the ordinary people who take extraordinary acts of bravery under urgent and difficult circumstances.

Other answers about courage in daily life:

Courage is not only found in the heat of war or the mighty works of brave men and women. Courage is the mother taking care of her sick child in the early morning hours. Courage is the father who shows up on time everyday at a boring, low-paying, dead-end job to feed and clothe his family.

Courage comes in many forms, not only from thoughts and deeds of greatness, but in the routine, everyday art of living. When life gets you down, when it seems that your world is at an end, take courage and go the next step. Y ou will be amazed at the power and strength you have inside. Just gather up enough courage to take you through this day. Y ou only have to live one day at a time. Y ou do not have to deal with all your troubles at one time. Like the Scotsman said, "The troubles of tomorrow must wait until this day is done."

Courage comes from deep within the heart and flushes away the paralysis created by fear. A song, a story, a poem or a friend could re-ignite the spark of courage and inspire us to take the next step to success.

III. Then, T asks Ss form groups to discuss the topic-- courage:

In class, Ss can form groups of three or four to discuss and report what qualities are necessary for a person to handle emergencies successfully and why. They may support their points by citing stories, news reports of courageous deeds. T lists those qualities on the blackboard and reminds Ss to keep these qualities in mind when they study the text, and see how many of them are embodied in Anthony Falzo. (25 minutes) Suggested answer: courage, calmness, cool-headedness, sound decision, quick action, necessary knowledge and capability, concern for others (love), etc. Take love for example, if a person never concern about others he will never risk his own interest, not to say to risk his life for others. And if a person only has a quick mind but do not know how to take proper and effective measures, then he also can not handle emergencies successfully.

From the actions taken by Anthony Falzo in that urgent moment, we can see in order to save the two kids he

risked his life without hesitation, completely regardless of the possible serious consequences. Through the whole story we can clearly see his calmness and cool-headedness when dealing with the emergency.

IV.T leads the students to analyze the general structure of the text:

-----

form---Time, place, character, main plot (emergency in this Text).

Example for Ts:

Usually, we say, when we decide to tell a story, we may keep the time, place, characters, and the main plot in our mind, or we may tell it in this order---- what happened before, during and after the incident. And in this story, we see in the very beginning the mother Kate was occupied with putting the groceries away, so she does not note her two little sons were heading for the railroad and pays little attention to the approaching train, which later caused the emergency. At the same time on the train, engineer Rich Campana and our later hero, the conductor Anthony Falzo are making jokes with each other and they are in rather relaxed mood, which forms a contrast with the coming urgent moment. Then in the second part (from para 14~33) it is the time for Anthony prevent a horrible railroad accident and save the lives of the Pritchard children at the risk of his own. Finally comes to the end of the story--- Anthony and the Pritchards become great friends. This is the whole story, and in the following period we are going to see the details.

Previewing task: T asks Ss to read intensively and pay special attention to Para 1, Paras 9~13, Paras 22,25~27, Paras 28~30 and Para 35.

☆Second Period:

I.Spot Dictation: Fill in the blanks with the words you hear.

The emergency services are the public organizations whose job is to take quick actions to deal with emergencies when they occur, especially the fire brigade, the police, and the ambulance service. The telephone number used in Britain for calling the police, fire or ambulance serves in an emergency is 999 in Britain and 911 in the US. And in China 119 for fire, 120 for ambulance and 110 for other emergencies.

II.Detailed T ext Analysis:

i. Part one:

﹡Important paragraph:

Of Para 1

“Monday, May 1, 1989 was a pleasant morning in Ramsey, N.J. Kate Pritchard bent over her car trunk and struggled with the bags of groceries she’d just brought home.① She heard the distant cry of a locomotive horn. The train s of Conrail passed less than 300 feet from the Pritchards’ house. No fence separated their backyard from the track─only a thick row of trees.② But, her sons, 3 1/2-year-old Todd and 18-month-old Scott③, were nearby, playing on the driveway.”

Analysis:

1.The author skillfully includes in the first paragraph three hints of the story to be unfolded. Our teachers can first present the following questions to Ss:

1) Why does the author describe the way Kate carried the groceries from her car to the house?

She was so preoccupied with the task that she neglected her two little sons, which later caused the accident

2) Why does the author mention a train horn, Conrail, and the lack of a fence between the Prichards’ yard and the railway?

They foreshadowed the later accident

3) Why does the author mention the ages of Todd and Scott?

Their age tells us they were too young to understand the importance of staying away from the railroad.

Then, T summarizes those details’importance in the narration of this story. In this way, T can briefly introduce one useful writing skill of narration---clue and hint.

2.A good story- writer selects details carefully. He/She only includes those details that are vital to the theme. Teacher lets the students to pay attention to the description of the weather.

Question for Ss:

Why the author bothers to give description of the weather? Does the description of the weather have anything to do with the story?

hint: The description of the weather forms a contrast with the ugliness of the later accident

Of Para10~13

Question for Ss:

Why the author bothers to give descriptions of how Rich and Anthony made jokes about each other? Why is the small talk between Rich and Anthony relevant to the story?

hint: The small talk and jokes form a contrast between the relaxed mood they were in and the tense scenes to come Paraphrase the sentence: Para12 “Hey, you’d better cool down, Anthony--you’re getting to be a real party animal!”

Answer:Y ou’d better stop spending so much time messing around other wise you will become a real sociable person.

“嘿，你最好悠着点，安东尼-- 你都快成派对狂了。”

﹡Important words and phrases of Part One:

struggle with (Collocation:struggle against与…作斗争struggle for为…作斗争struggle to do竭力做struggle to one’s feet挣扎着站起来) draw one’s attention to (Collocation:attract one’s attention引起某人注意bring sth. to one’s attention使某事引起某人的注意catch one’s attention引起某人的注意devote one’s attention to 专心于…escape one’s attention没有引起某人的注意；逃避某人的注意hold one’s attention吸引住某人的注意pay attention to注意) resume mess around cool down

CF:

cool, cold & chilly:这几个词都是形容词，都有“温度低”，“情绪不亢奋”，“态度不合作”的意思。cool 在指温度时，表示温度不是那么低，适度或令人愉快;在表示感情时，指能保持客观、无偏见或能避免愤怒或狂喜的素质。例如：It happened in a cool autumn day. / Keep cool when complaining. cold在指温度时，表示引起人们明显不适It is very cold in winter in Beijing

的零下或接近零下的温度；在表示感情时，指一种冷淡的态度，或甚至怀有敌意。例如：It is very cold in winter in Beijing. / She seemed cold to me. chilly 在指温度时，表示cool和cold之间的空气和天气，凉得使你感到不舒服；在表示感情时，这个词表示冷淡，不友好。例如：I felt chilly after I walked out of the room. / The president was given a chilly welcome when he arrived in that country.

ii. Part Two

﹡Important paragraphs:

Of Para21

“Absorbed in play, Todd and Scott did not hear the train. Finally, as the sound became thunderous, Scott looked up and froze. ”

Questions for Ss:

1. What can we learn from this sentence?

Answer: The kids are too young to realize the danger around them.

2. What does “froze”mean?

Answer: It means “became completely still with fear.”

Paraphrase the sentence: Para 25 “As his body crashed downward, Anthony covered Todd while reaching out with one arm to grab Scott and pull him clear of the track.”

Answer:When he threw his body downward from the train, Anthony covered Todd with his body and stretched his arm to grab Scott away from the track.

(Note: When Teacher explain the process of how Anthony saved the two kids, it might be important to mention that 14 inches equal approximately 35 cm. During the process, pay special attention to the verbs that describe a succession of actions taken by Rich and Anthony. T may ask Ss what more general synonyms could replace those in the text.)

Of Para 27

“He’s dead, Anthony thought he felt sick with horror. Burying his face in the stones, he pushed downward on the two boys with all his strength as the train passed inches above them.”

1. Why did Anthony feel sick?

Answer:Here Anthony didn’t feel well only because he was afraid that he couldn’t save Scott’s life, not because

of his horror to try to save the kids’lives.

2. Why does the author use “with all his strength” twice in the text?

Answer:The author tries to give us a vivid description of how difficult it is to save the kids’lives and how Anthony tried his best to do it.

Paraphrase the sentence: Para 30 “Kate tore back to the house, made the calls, then reached her husband, Gary, via his beeper.”

Answer:Kate went back to her house quickly, called the police and ambulance and informed her husband through his beeper.

Of Para 28~30

Questions for Ss:

How do Scott and Kate’s reactions to the accident compare with Anthony’s? why the author bothers to give descriptions of how Kate had delayed calling for help?

hint: to highlight Anthony’s cool-headedness

Teacher sums up:

A good story- writer always selects details very carefully, only those details those are vital to the theme. At first sight, some readers may wonder why the author bothers to give descriptions of the weather, of how Rich and Anthony made jokes about each other, of how after the accident Scott was jumping and crying, and of how Kate had delayed calling for help. But after closer inspections they will realize that those details are there to highlight the urgency of the accident and the level-headedness of Anthony.

Furthermore, T can summarize another important writing skill of the Text, by saying that sometimes a good story relies on comparison and contrast to play up the atmosphere. Actually three main pair of compare and comparison---the pleasant weather and the ugliness of the later accident; the relaxed mood Rich and Anthony were in and the tense scenes to come; the very different reactions between Anthony’s and Scott and Kate’s.

﹡Important words and phrase of Part Two:

strength (Collocation: with all one’s strength 使劲；用全力build up/develop one’s strength 增强体力physical strength 体力in strength 大量的；数目众多explode: vi. 1) burst with a loud noise e.g. The buildings exploded when the airplanes crashed into them. 2) increase suddenly or rapidly e.g.The world population is exploding. 3) express strong feelings suddenly and violently e.g.She exploded with anger. / The students exploded into laughter. Flash calculate crash reach out (Collocation:reach sb. sth. 把某物递给某人reach for伸手取reach into把手伸进reach to延伸到) punch horror (Collocation:have a horror of极讨厌horror at对…的震惊in horror震惊地；恐怖地to one’s horror令人惊恐的是a horror movie/story恐怖电影/故事) visibl e →invisible Twist internal

CF:

fear, dread, horror & panic这几个词作名词用时，都有“恐惧”的意思。fear意义最广，同dread，都表示认为处于困境之中而产生的忧虑、焦急，还表示因缺乏勇气几近懦弱之意。例如：She was brought up with no fear of insects. / My fears were finally realized. dread 表示因为某事将要或可能发生而产生的极度焦虑、恐惧的心理。例如：They lived in the dread of being killed. horror 表示因极度令人不快的情况而引起的令人战栗的憎恨、厌恶。例如：To my horror there was a mouse in the room. panic 表示非理性的、无缘由的恐惧、恐慌。例如：The government didn’t want to start a panic in the city. / These rumors spread panic.

iii. Part Three

﹡Important paragraphs:

Of Para 35

Teacher lets Ss reread Para1 and then try to find “Is there anything makes the text coherent?”

Answer: In the first part of the story the author tells us there was no fence separating the yard from the railroad. It is interesting to note that in the last paragraph, the author makes a special mention of the fact that there is now a fence separating the neighborhood from the railroad track. That provides a good example of coherence.

﹡Important words and phrase of Part Three

shelter (1. vt. protect; cover e.g.The trees can shelter us from the sun./ The rich man built a house to shelter the homeless. 2. n. 1) protection, especially from the weather e.g. The lost child found shelter in a cave. / It was raining, and we had to wait in the shelter of a tree. 2) a building or enclosure offering protection e.g. The shelter might fall if it kept snowing. Collocation:give/offer/provide shelter提供庇护所；给予庇护seek shelter from 寻求…的庇护take shelter from得到…的庇护an air-raid shelter防空洞)

CF:

accident, event & incident这几个词都是名词，都有“事件”的意思。accident 指意想不到的或突然发生并造成损失的事情，即“事故”，也可指偶然发生的事情。例如：He was injured in a car accident. / It was quite an accident. event 指重大事件或重要的历史事件，也指日常生活中比较重要的事。例如：Going to college was a big event in his life. / Can you tell me the ten chief events in China last year? incident 指比较不重要的小事情，也可用来指令人不愉快的政治性事件。例如：It was only an ordinary incident./ the Lugouqiao Incident 卢沟桥事变

Note: the words and phrases are selective for teachers to explain in class and to dictate in the Third or Fourth period.

Previewing task: T asks Ss to read text B extensively and grasp the main idea of it.

☆Third Period:

I. Listening and then do the T or F exercise:

Railroads may carry passengers or freight. The earliest railroad passenger cars were simply stagecoaches equipped with flanged wheels. Likewise, the first freight cars were merely converted wagons. Today, however, railroads operate a wide variety of cars designed for specific types of service.

Railroads offer two basic types of passenger service: commuter and intercity. Commuter service is provided for people who live in suburbs and work in nearby cities. Intercity trains usually run between two large cities, called end points that are 100 miles (160 kilometers) or more apart. Some local trains stop at all or most of the stations between the end points, but most intercity trains stop only at the larger cities on the route.

Freight cars can be classified into three basic types: the boxcar, or house car; the open-top car; and the flatcar. Today railroads use many variations of these basic types along with many special cars designed to carry specific types of freight.

T or F Questions:

1. The earliest railroad passenger cars were merely converted wagons._____

2. Commuter service is provided for people who live in suburbs and work in nearby cities._____

3. Most intercity trains stop at all or most of the stations on the route. _____

4. Freight cars can be classified into three basic types: the boxcar, the house car, and the flatcar._____

5. Today railroads use many variations of these basic types along with many special cars designed to carry specific types of freight._____

Answers: F T F F T

Corrected answers:

1. The earliest railroad passenger cars were simply stagecoaches equipped with flanged wheels. Likewise, the first freight cars were merely converted wagons.

3. Some local trains stop at all or most of the stations between the end points, but most intercity trains stop only at the larger cities on the route.

4. Freight cars can be classified into three basic types: the boxcar, or house car; the open-top car; and the flatcar.

Text B The Night the River Came in

I. Introductory remarks:

As we all know, the world was troubled by flood this summer. Barmer, Nepal, India, China, U.S and other countries were all affected. Hundreds of people were killed and millions left homeless. People had to rebuild their homeland after they were rescued by rescue teams who used helicopters and rubber boats to help. Officials said the more than doubled average rainfall was the worst in at least three decades and the main cause of the global flood this year. People even feared the rain those days.

Now, suppose you are alone in your dorm and see the flood rushing in with the water being to submerge your upper bed in a short while. What will you do?

Here, T asks Ss to form groups of three or four to discuss what they will do in face of this emergency. Suggested answers: a. I’ll open the other door and windows to let the water go.

b. I’ll shout out or dial 110 for help.

c. I’ll go as up as possible.

d. I’ll swim out.

e. I’ll take the bed plank apart, then lie on it and float out.

T’s summary:

Y ou are so smart to work out various ways to escape. However, first of all I’d like to remind you that you should keep calm and encourage yourself to be brave in face of emergencies. Then keep hope and never give up. Believe that things will turn better eventually with your efforts.

II. T ext analysis --- T first asks Ss to summarize the general idea and the text organization, then tell them the answers.

i. General idea:The text is based on a real story in which a flood hit Texas, U.S.A, in October 1998. At the beginning of the text, it is mentioned that the southern Texas River overflowed its banks and endangered the wood cabin in which Dykstra and his daughter Jen lived. As the story goes on, Jen realized there was water in their cabin. Worst of all, the flood submerged the roadway, their only means of escape. They were trapped. The main body of the story is about how they fought against the merciless flood; Dykstra got injured and once lost consciousness. But they held on and later climbed onto an island formed by some rubbish that had got caught in some treetops, which gave them more chance of survival. Eventually, eighteen hours after the cabin had been swept away, Dykstra, his daughter, and his dog were rescued.

ii. T ext organization

Part one paras 1-8: The rain of the day swelled the southern Texas river beyond its banks and trapped

Dykstra and his daughter in their cabin.

Part two paras 9-28: After the cabin was swept away Dykstra and his daughter held on and later climbed

onto an island formed by some rubbish that had got caught in some treetops.

Part three para 29: Eighteen hours after the cabin had been swept away, Dykstra, his daughter and their dog were rescued eventually.

iii. Words and phrases

大学英语综合教程答案

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 .

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
