Unit One: Living in Harmony

Part I Get Started

Section A Discussion

▇Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss the following brainstorming questions.

1.You are now living on campus. How do you get along with your classmates?

2.Are you willing to help out a stranger? Why or why not?

3.Do you think it possible to be a true friend to someone whose name you don‘t know?

▇Answers for reference:

1. A possible answer:

I get along with my classmates pretty well. We help each other and take good care of each

other. When anyone is in trouble or difficulty, we do all we can to lend a helping hand. I love campus life. I believe that the time spent in this university will be an unforgettable experience in my life.

2.Possible answers:

a. To be honest, with all the stories about how certain individuals take advantage of people‘s

kindness and how people set out to help out a stranger but end up getting into big trouble, I would think twice before helping out a stranger.

b. I am willing to help out a stranger, even if it means I would get myself into trouble,

because I would feel bad if I passed by someone in need. After all, we‘re not living on a one-man island. We need to rely on each other‘s kindness. What‘s more, I believe most people on earth are good and they do not take advantage of others‘ kindness.

3. A possible answer:

Yes, I think so. True friendship lies in the communication between souls, and you don‘t have to know the person‘s name in order to know the soul.

Section B Quotes

▇Study the following quotes about kindness. Which quote do you like best? Why?

▇

Albert Einstein

⊙The ideals which have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. The trite (陈腐的) objects of human efforts — possessions, outward success, luxury — have always seemed to me contemptible (不值得一顾的).

—Albert Einstein

Interpretation:

What gives me the courage to face challenges in life and move on optimistically is the showing and receiving of kindness and the pursuit of the good, the beautiful and the true. Humans tend to seek worldly possessions, fame, success, and luxury in life, but these things don‘t interest me at all.

About Albert Einstein (1879-1955): US physicist and mathematician, born in Germany, who developed the Theory of Relativity, which completely changed the way that scientists understand space and time.

George Sand

⊙Guard well within yourself that treasure, kindness. Know how to give without hesitation, how to lose without regret, how to acquire without meanness.

—George Sand

Interpretation:

Kindness is a virtue that we need to cultivate and value. With kindness, we know how to give selflessly without thinking about our losses. With kindness, we know how to lose and gain honourably.

About George Sand (1804-1876):a French female writer of novels, whose real name was Amandine Aurore Dupin. She is known for her long relationship with the composer Chopin and for wearing men‘s clothes to show her belief that women should have the same rights as men.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

⊙You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson

Interpretation:

If you want to perform an act of kindness to help others, just do it now before it is too late.

About Ralph Waldo Emerson (1808-1882): a US poet and writer who had great influence on the religious and philosophical thought of his time.

Script：

A simple act of kindness

A simple act of kindness found me.

A simple act of kindness saved me.

A simple act of kindness brought me home.

Well I don‘t know if yo u could see there was a soul inside of me.

If not for the kindness of a friend,

Well maybe now you couldn‘t tell but I‘d be just an empty shell.

If not for the kindness of a friend,

I know how dark a human heart can be out there.

I was so far gone I thought that no one ever could see me.

(Chorus)

I would be a lost and broken man.

If it weren‘t for the reaching of a hand,

I‘d be on that dark and lonely road.

A simple act of kindness brought me home.

It wasn‘t all that long ago I would have thrown away my sou l,

If not for the kindness of a friend,

But now and then, I feel the sting of almost losing everything.

If not for the kindness of a friend,

I know how dark a human heart can be out there.

But now I know compassion was the only thing I could figure.

(Chorus)

I would be a lost and broken man.

If it weren‘t for the reaching of a hand,

I‘d be on that dark and lonely road.

A simple act of kindness brought me home.

And now I‘m glad I‘m here and that I‘m free.

To pass along what someone gave to me.

A simple act of kindness found me

A simple act of kindness saved me.

Script:

Smile

I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last project the professor assigned us to do was called ―Smile.‖ The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say ―hello‖. So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning. Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, I smelled a horrible ―dirty body‖ smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. H e said, ―Good day‖ as he counted the few coins he had. The second man was mentally retarded. The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. He said, ―Just coffee for the two of us.‖ Obviously, it was all they could afford. To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.

Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy. All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman‘s cold hand. He looked up at me and said, ―Thank you.‖ I leaned over and said, ―Just help yourselves.‖ I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment.

I returned to college, with this story in hand. I turned in ―my project‖ and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class. The whole class was touched. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn — UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

One 1-7 Because of a past experience of neglecting a hitchhiker in

need of help, the author decided to travel across America

without any money to find out if one could still rely on the

kindness of strangers these days.

Two 8-28 During his trip, he found out that people were generally

compassionate and willing to help although they might have

fears.

Three 29-31 He talked to school children and concluded in a patriotic

manner that in America people could still depend on the

kindness of strangers.

Section B In-depth Study

There was a time in America when you would be considered selfish and looked down upon if you refused to help someone in need, but “I don’t want to get involved” has now become a national motto. Are people still willing to treat others with the same kindness their forefathers displayed? The author makes a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar to test his faith in America. And the answer he finds is: you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.

The Kindness of Strangers

Mike Mclntyre

1. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. Someone else will stop for him, I reasoned. Besides, that gas can is just a ploy to flag down a car and rob the driver. There was a time in this co untry when you‘d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you‘re a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves and carjackers lurking everywhere, why risk it? ―I don‘t want to get involved‖ has become a national motto.

2. Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker. Leaving him stranded in the desert didn‘t bother me as much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator. Does anyone stop anymore? I wondered.

3. I thought of my destination — New Orleans, the setting for Tennessee Williams‘s play A Streetcar Named Desire. I recalled Blanche DuBois‘s famous line: ―I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.‖

4. The kindness of strangers. It sounds so quaint. Could anyone rely on the kindness of strangers these days?

5. One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying solely on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of America would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road?

6. The idea intrigued me. But who‘d be crazy enough to try such a trip? Well, I figured, why not me.

7. The week I turned 37, I realized I‘d never taken a gamble in my life. So I decided to make a leap of faith a continent wide — to go from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. If I was offered money, I‘d refuse it. I‘d accept only rides, food and a place to rest my head.It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I‘d have to conquer during the trip.

8. I rose early on September 6, 1994,hoisted a 50-pound pack onto my back and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge. Then I took a sign from my backpack, displaying my destination to passing vehicles: ―America.‖

9. Drivers mouthed the word through windshields, then, smiled. Two women rode by on bicycles. ―It‘s a bit vague,‖ said one. A young man with a Ge rman accent wandered up and asked, ―Where is this ?America‘?‖

10. Indeed, for six weeks I tried to find out. I hitched 82rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, I discovered that others shared my fear. Folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming. In Nebraska I was warned that people would not be as nice in Iowa.

11. Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. One day in Nebraska a four-door sedan pulled to the road shoulder. When I reached the window, I saw two little old ladies dressed in their Sunday finest.

12. ―I know you‘re not supposed to pick up hitchhikers, but it‘s so far between towns out here,

you feel bad passing a person,‖ said the driver, who introduced herself as Vi. She and her sister Helen were going to see an eye doctor in Ainsworth, Nebraska.

13. I didn‘t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. This woman was telling me she‘d rather risk her life than feel bad about passing a stranger on the side of the road. When they dropped me at a highway junction, I looked at Vi. We both spoke at the same time: ―Be careful.‖14. Once when I was hitchhiking unsuccessfully in the rain, a trucker pulled over, locking his brakes so hard that he skidded on the grass shoulder. The driver told me he was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker. ―But I hate to see a man stand out in the rain,‖ he added. ―People don‘t have no heart anymore.‖

15. I found, however, that people were generally compassionate. A middle-aged Iowa couple shepherded me around for an hour, trying to help me find a campground. In South Dakota a woman whose family had given me a night‘s lodging handed me two stamped post cards: one to let her know how my trip turned out; the other to send the next day, telling her where I was so she wouldn‘t worry about me.

16. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people in every state bought me food or shared whatever they happened to have with them. A park ranger in Ukiah, Calif., gave me some carrots. A college student handed me sacks filled with organic tomatoes and melons. A woman in Iowa gave me two bundles of graham crackers, two cans of soda, two cans of tuna, two apples and two pieces of chicken.

17. The people who had the least to give often gave the most. In Oregon a home painter named Mike noted the chilly weather and asked if I had a coat. When I replied, ―a light one,‖ he drove me to his house, rummaged through his garage and handed me a bulky green Army-style jacket. 18. Elsewhere in Oregon a lumber-mill worker named Tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their dilapidated house. He gave me a Bible. Then he offered me his tent. I refused, knowing it was probably one of the family‘s most valuable possessions. But Tim was determined that I have it, and finally I agreed to take it.

19. I was grateful to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter, their gifts. But the kindest act of all was when they merely were themselves.

20. One day I walked into the local chamber of commerce in Jamestown, Tennessee. A man inside the old stone building j umped up from his cluttered desk. ―Come on in,‖said Baxter Wilson, 59. He was the executive director.

21. When I asked him about camping in the area, he handed me a brochure for a local campground. ―Would you like me to call for you?‖ he asked.

22. Seeing that it cost $12,I replied, ―No, that‘s all right. I‘m not sure what I‘m going to do.‖

23. Then he saw my backpack. ―Almost anybody around here will let you pitch a tent on their land, if that‘s what you want,‖ he said.

24. Now you‘re talking, I thought. ―Any particular direction?‖ I asked.

25. ―Tell you what. I‘ve got a big farm about ten miles south of here. If you‘re here at 5:30, you can ride with me. ―

26. I accepted, and we drove out to a magnificent country house. Suddenly I realized he‘d invited me to spend the night in his home.

27. His wife, Carol, was cooking a pot roast when we walked into the kitchen. A seventh-grade science teacher, she was the picture of Southern charm.

28. Baxter explained that local folks were ―mountain stay-at-home people‖, and he considered

himself one of them. ―We rarely entertain in our house,‖ he said. ―When we do, it‘s usually kin.‖ The revelation made my night there all the more special.

29. The next morning when I came downstairs, Carol asked if I‘d com e to her school and talk to her class about my trip. I told her I didn‘t want to encourage a bunch of seventh-graders to hitchhike across the United States. But Carol said the kids should be exposed to what else is out there —the good and the bad. ―They n eed to know,‖ she said.

30. I agreed, and before long had been scheduled to talk to every class in the school. All the kids were well-mannered and attentive. Their questions kept coming: Where were people the kindest? How many pairs of shoes did I have? H ad anybody tried to run me over? Were the pigs‘ feet as good in other parts of the country? Had I fallen in love with anyone? What was I most afraid of?

31. Although I hadn‘t planned it this way, I discovered that a patriotic tone ran through the talks

I gave that afternoon. I told the students how my faith in America had been renewed. I told them how proud I was to live in a country where people were still willing to help out a stranger. I told them that the question I had in mind when I planned the trip was clearly answered. Indeed, no matter who you are, you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.

陌生人的善意

迈克〃麦金太尔

1.一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。在沙漠深处，我碰到一个

年轻人站在路旁。他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。我直接从他身边开过去了。别人会停下来的，我想。再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？?我不想卷进去?已经成为全国性的信条。

2.开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我

有多么不安。让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？

3.我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。那里是田纳西〃威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的

背景地。我回想起布兰奇〃杜波依斯的名句：?我总是依赖陌生人的善意。?

4.陌生人的善意。听起来好怪。如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？

5.要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同

胞的善意。他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？

6.这个念头激起了我的好奇心。但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，

我想，那不如我来试试？

7.满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。所以我决定来个观念的跨越，

美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的?恐惧角?（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。

8.1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。我从背包里拿出一

个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：?美利坚?。

9.司机们隔着挡风玻璃念出这个词，然后笑了。两个女人骑自行车经过。?有点含混，?其

中一个说。一名带有德国口音的年轻男士走上前来问，?你这个‘美利坚’在哪儿？?10.实际上，整整六个星期的时间里我试图找出答案。我搭了82次便车，行程4223英里，穿

越了14个州。在旅途中，我发现其他人跟我一样有担心。人们总是在警告我当心别的某个地方。在蒙大拿州，他们叫我留神怀俄明州的牛仔，而在内布拉斯加州，人们提醒我说艾奥瓦州的人可不如他们友好。

11.然而，在我所去的每个州，我都受到了友善的对待。我诧异于美国人执意帮助陌生人的能

力，甚至于在看来与自己的最大利益相冲突时他们也绝不袖手旁观。有一天，在内布拉斯加，一辆四门小轿车在路肩停下。我走到车窗边，看到两位穿着节日盛装的瘦小老妇人。

12.?我知道这年头不该带搭便车的，但这里前不着村后不着店的，不停车感觉真不好。?自

称?维?的司机说。她和姐姐海伦是去内布拉斯加的安斯沃思看眼疾的。

13.她们为我停了车，我都不知道是该亲吻她们呢还是该责备她们。这个女人是在告诉我，她

宁肯冒生命危险也不愿意因为没为一个站在路边的陌生人停车而感到内疚。她们在一个高速路口把我放下时，我望着维。我们俩异口同声地说，?小心。?

14.有一次我在雨中没能搭上便车。一名长途卡车司机停了车，他把刹车踩得那么重，车子都

在草地路肩上滑行了一段。司机告诉我他有一次被搭便车的人持刀抢劫了。?但我不愿意看到有人在雨里站着。?他补充说，?现在大家都没有良心了。?

15.然而，我发现，总体而言，人们还是挺有同情心的。艾奥瓦州一对中年夫妇为了帮我找宿

营地领着我走了一个小时。在南达科他州，一个女人让我在她家住了一晚之后递给我两张贴了邮票的明信片：一张是让她知道我这趟旅行结果如何；另一张是要第二天寄出的，告诉她我在哪里，免得她为我担心。

16.听说我没钱，又不愿意接受钱，每个州的人们都会给我买食物或者和我分享他们刚好带着

的东西。在加州的尤凯亚，一位国家公园管理员给了我一些胡萝卜，一名大学生给了我一几袋有机西红柿和甜瓜。衣阿华的一名妇女给了我两大包全麦饼干，两罐果汁汽水、两听金枪鱼罐头、两个苹果和两块鸡肉。

17.拥有最少的人往往给予得最多。在俄勒冈一个叫迈克的房屋油漆工注意到天气十分寒冷，

就问我有没有外套。我回答说?有件薄的?，他开车带我去他家，翻遍了车库，递给我一件肥大的绿色军大衣。

18.在俄勒冈的另一个地方，一个叫蒂姆的锯木厂工人邀请我去他们破旧的家里和他家人一起

吃了顿简单的晚餐。他给了我一本《圣经》，然后又要把家里的帐篷给我。我拒绝了，因为我知道那极有可能是这家人最值钱的一样东西了。然而蒂姆执意让我接受，所以最后我只好同意。

19.我感激我遇到的所有人，感谢他们让我搭车，给我食物，给我提供住处，送我礼物。但最

友善的举动是，他们是那么自然真诚。

20.有一天，我走进了田纳西州的詹姆斯敦一家当地商会。在这座古老建筑里一个男人从他凌

乱的桌子旁站起身。?请进，?59岁的巴克斯特〃威尔逊说。他是那儿的执行会长。21.我向他打听在当地露营的事。他递给我一本当地露营地的小册子。?需要我帮你打电话

吗？?他问。

22.我一看露营得花12美元，就回答，?不用了，没事。我也不知道我该怎么做。?

23.这时他看见了我的背包。?这里差不多每个人都会让你在他们的地里支帐篷的，如果那是

你所想要的话。?他说。

24.这话就对了，我想。?有没具体的方位？?我问。

25.?跟你说吧，我有个大农场，在从这儿往南大概10英里。要是你五点半能在这儿，我可以

开车带你去。?

26.我接受了，于是我们开车去了一幢华丽的乡村住宅。突然，我意识到他是邀请了我到他家

过夜。

27.我们走进厨房时，他的妻子卡萝尔正在炖牛肉块。她是一名七年级的科学老师，简直就是

南方魅力的化身。

28.巴克斯特解释说，当地人是?不爱外出的山里人?，他觉得自己也是这么一个人。?我们

很少在家里招待客人，?他说，?招待的话，一般是亲戚。?他的这番透露让我那一夜变得更加不同寻常。

29.第二天我下楼时，卡萝尔问我愿不愿意去学校跟她班上的孩子们谈谈我的旅行。我告诉她

我可不想怂恿一帮七年级的孩子去搭便车游遍美国，但卡萝尔说孩子们应该接触到外面的世界是什么样子——包括好的一面和坏的一面。?他们需要了解真相，?她说。

30.我同意了。没过多久，我就被安排给学校每个班讲话。所有的孩子都彬彬有礼而且聚精会

神。他们的问题不断冒出来：哪儿的人们最友善？我穿坏过多少双鞋？有没有人试图轧死我？别的地方的猪脚也有这么好吗？我有没有爱上过谁？我最害怕的是什么？

31.尽管我并没有打算这么做，我发现爱国主义的语调贯穿了那天下午的讲话。我告诉学生

们，我对美利坚的信念如何重新被重新点燃。我告诉他们，生活在一个人们仍然愿意帮助陌生人的国度里，我有多么自豪。我告诉他们，我当初计划这次旅行时脑子里的问题已经得到明确的解答。的确，不管你是谁，你仍然可以依赖陌生人的善意。

without a penny. (Para. 7)

Q: Why does the author refer to his plan as ―making a leap of faith a continent wide‖?

A: Before this trip, he had never taken a gamble in life, and now he was going to do something so dramatically different and this sure involves a huge leap of faith. On the other hand, it was about going across the continent. So it makes sense to say he decided to ―make a leap of faith a continent wide.‖

to run contrary to their own best interests. (Para. 11)

Extended Questions

▇Extended questions (Para. 1)

Q: If you were the author, would you help the young man?

A: Possible answers:

Yes, I would help the young man. He was holding a gas can in his hand. He must have run out of gas. And it was in the middle of the desert. People should help each other.

No, I wouldn‘t. In a society where ―I don‘t want to get involved‖ is the motto and dangers are lurking everywhere, I would n‘t risk my own interests to help him.

Q: There have been quite a few reports in China about people getting into trouble when trying to help others. Now people tend to be indifferent to others. Do you think that ―I don‘t want to get involved‖ is also becoming a national motto in China?

A: Possible answers:

Yes, I do think so. I‘ve read of numerous incidents where certain individuals take advantage of people‘s kindness and how people set out to help out a stranger but end up getting into big trouble. It seems to me that with the influence of commercialism, people are becoming more and more self-centred and money-conscious and the concept ―Every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost‖ seems to have taken root in the minds of the younger generation.

No, I don‘t think so. Though we have all heard a lot about immoral incidents, we should realise that such incidents are relatively few. In our daily life, positive examples showing people‘s kind-heartedness and selflessness far outnumber those negative examples publicized by the media. T

▇Extended questions (Paras. 2-6)

Q: Do you think the author‘s plan is a risky one?

A: Yes. I think it was a risky plan. For one thing, he would be travelling alone and might encounter all sorts of difficulties or even dangers. For another, he would carry no money on him. Who would feed him, shelter him, carry him down the road? However, it was worth taking all the risks, for this was indeed a brilliant plan to test if anyone could still rely on the kindness of strangers.

▇Extended questions (Paras. 7-10)

Q: Can you find some clues about his travel plan from these paragraphs?

A: Yes.

●―So I decided to make a leap of faith a continent wide — to go from the Pacific to the

Atlantic without a penny.‖ (Para. 7)

—He would travel from the West coastline of America to the East coastline.

●―I ……headed for the Golden Gate Bridge.‖ (Para. 8)

—Golden Gate Bridge is in San Francisco, California, a state on the Pacific seashore.

●―M y final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina.‖ (Para. 7.)

●—Cape Fear in North Carolina is on the Atlantic seashore.

●He meant to journey across the North American continent without money, relying solely

on the help of strangers he might meet on his way.

▇Extended questions (Paras. 11-13)

Q: Do you know the cultural connotation of the phrase ―Sunday finest‖?

A:―Sunday finest‖ (also Sunday best) means one‘s best clothes, which are worn only on special occasions. Traditionally, people always wore their best clothes for going to church on Sundays.

Hence a similar idiomatic expression: Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes (meeting here meaning ―prayer s‘ meeting‖).

Q: Would you like to help a stranger on the side of the road if you were one of the two old ladies driving a nice car in China?

A: Answers may vary. Possible answers:

Yes. I think I would. I believe most people are kind. If a stranger by the roadside is in desperate need of my help, I will stop and help him or her.

No. I‘m afraid I would not. This is dangerous in some places in China, especially at night. I have to watch out for potential dangers.

▇Extended questions (Paras. 14-16)

Q: What might the possible reason for the truck driver to lock his brakes so hard that he skidded on the grass shoulder?

A: One possible reason was that it was raining and the road was slippery. The driver spotted the author in the rain and he had to brake suddenly. Another possible reason was that the driver had once been robbed by a hitchhiker and this time he was aware of the potential danger and wanted to pass by. However, he hated to see a man standing out in the rain, so he made a sudden stop. Q: If you were to travel across China, do you think you would find many compassionate Chinese? A: Answers may vary. Possible answers:

Yes, I do believe that most Chinese are kind-hearted. In fact, I have read some reports about college students travelling around successfully in China with no or little money. No, I don‘t think so. Nowadays, people seem to be cold and indifferent towards others. With so many crimes and immoral incidents reported by the media, even though some people are kind-hearted by nature, they will hesitate to help strangers.

▇Extended questions (Paras. 20-28)

Q: Do you know anything about a campsite (Br.E) or a campground (Am.E)?

大学英语教学与中国传统文化的渗透

龙源期刊网 https://www.sodocs.net/doc/db6078049.html, 大学英语教学与中国传统文化的渗透 作者：向莉萍 来源：《职业时空》2014年第02期 摘要：针对大学英语教学中中国传统文化的缺失现象，分析了在大学英语教学中渗透中国传统文化的必要性，并从学习具有中国特色的中国英语、增加传统文化教学内容、实施对比教学、增加学生阅读量、拓宽知识面、开设丰富多彩的课外活动等方面提出了在英语教学中渗透中国传统文化的方法和途径，对提高大学英语教学效果，培养学生文化交流意识具有重要的实践指导价值。 关键词：大学英语教学；中国传统文化；英语学习 一、大学英语教学中中国传统文化的缺失 众所周知，语言和文化是密不可分的，语言是文化的产物，同时又是文化的载体，承担着传承文化的重任；而文化是语言存在的环境，是人类用来表达思想、传递感情的交际工具。Widdowson（1983）指出，语言学习应确立学习目的，而大部分人学习语言的目的都是为了交流，尤其是进行跨文化交流。交流本身是双向的，交流的进行意味着吸收和传播，两者不可缺少的。随着时代的发展，中国大学英语教学理念亦在悄然发生着变化，从最初的侧重于听说读写等语言技能的学习逐渐转向了对跨文化交流的重视，在大学英语教学中大量增加了目的语国家的人文、地理、风俗、习惯等方面的知识，这对促进英语学习者对英语国家文化的了解、更好地利用语言进行交流起到了积极的促进作用。但同时，也呈现出一定的认识偏颇，这种跨文化交流更多表现出了一种单向的交流，以课程设置而言，有精读、视听说、英美文学选读、英美概况、英美报刊等，所涉及的内容、练习和测试也是以英美文化为主，至于博大精深的中国文化，在大学英语的教学过程中几乎完全被忽略。而且由于受到强势文化的侵入，绝大多数学生更愿意了解和获取西方文化知识，他们对中国传统文化要么知之甚少，要么不能用恰当的英语表达中国文化，导致跨文化交际能力发展失衡，不但无法满足交流对象对中国传统文化的了解需求，而且由于表达不准确，容易造成外国人对中国文化的误解，从而产生了“中国文化失语现象”。 二、大学英语教学中渗透中国传统文化的必要性 1.有利于继承和弘扬中国优秀传统文化 中国传统文化是由华夏民族为主流的多元文化在长期的历史发展过程中沉淀而成的，包括思想观念、价值取向、道德情操、社会准则、风俗习惯、宗教信仰、文学艺术等方面。它是中华民族几千年文明的结晶，其内容博大精深，具有鲜明的民族特色和稳定的形态。随着经济的快速发展和改革开放的不断深入，全民英语学习热情日益升温，以英语为主要语种所承载的西

Brazil promises it will protect the region’s native people. Eastern European countries and other nations, including the United States, have set up special funds for environmental clean-ups and improving the region's power plants. The government of Indonesia has succeeded in increasing use of birth control from 10 percent of the population 20 years ago to 49 percent today.Ⅱ.C u l t u r e N o t e s 1.

新媒体时代大学英语poa教学法的革新

新媒体时代大学英语POA教学法的革新 摘要：产出导向法（简称POA）是文秋芳教授根据二语学习学用分离的现实矛盾提出的一种全新的二语学习方法，它打破了传统二语学习的惯有思路、惯有理念及惯有方式，对提高二语学习效率具有极强的指导意义。特别是近年来，POA 教学法在我国大学英语学习阶段的实践性应用，更为POA教学法的推广奠定了实践基础。但优秀的教学方法必须符合时代特点，当下新媒体突飞猛进的发展以及其展示出来的生机与活力，决定了大学英语POA教学法必须积极引入新媒体，从而不断丰富POA教学法的理论及实践基础。 关键词：新媒体：POA教学：大学英语 一、引言 改革开放以来，我们始终满怀饱满热情迎接世界、走进世界，英语作为与世界接轨的金钥匙，无时无刻不在发挥着其耀眼的光芒，为了更好地走向世界，英语走入了我国教育界已经有数十个年头。结合我国英语教育数十年开展现状来看，虽然一批批人才经过教育洗礼掌握了一定的英语能力，到具体到英语应用的过程中仍然存在高分低能的情况，哑巴英语型人才成为了我国培养出来的英语人才的标签，何为高分低能哑巴英语？无非就是说在考试的时候能够考高分，但到了具体的用英语进行交流的时候则变得手足无措，学习的东西被抛到九霄云外，甚至连最基本的语法、单词发音都弄不清楚了。在与世界文化的不断交流中，我国英语培养模式的弊端也逐渐的展现出来，参与国际化的迫切愿望与英语人才综合素养较低的突出矛盾，迫切要求我国英语教育事业进行革新、创新，结合国内民独特的学习思路、学习能力、学习习惯等，研究出一条全新、高效的英语学习方法。在这样的形势下，文秋芳教授根据自己多年来的英语教学经验，对传统英

UNIT 1 A Brush With The Law Background Information 1.Magistrates and the magistrate’s court In England, a magistrate is a person appointed to try minor offences. He is either an unpaid layman 外行or, in London and some other large cities, a paid judicial司法officer.In England, every district has a magistrate’s court. It is the lowest court of law. The magistrates’ court can only try people for minor, i.e. not very serious offences. It cannot give prison sentences totaling more than 12 months, nor can it order fines of more than 400 pounds for one offence. 2.The sixties’ “youth counterculture” The word ―counterculture‖ was coined in the 1960’s for the attitude and life style of many young people who rejected conventional social values and demanded more pers onal freedom. The counterculture first arose in the U. S. During the 1960’s and soon spread to Britain, France and other western countries. The young people were opposed to the Vietnam War and dissatisfied with the existing state of affairs in their society. Yet, unable to find a more constructive way of struggling against these, they indulged themselves in sex, drugs, alcohol and rock music and took great pride in wearing long hair and unusual clothes and in taking up anything that was unconventional. The counterculture declined in the late 1970’s. See the Hippies and the Beat Generation in Essentials of English Learning. 3.Middle class In Britain, the middle class refers to the class of people between the nobility and the working class. It includes professional men (doctor, lawyers, and architects), bankers owners of business and small gentry. In the United States, however, the middle class refers to the class of people between the very wealthy class of unskilled laborers and unemployed people. It includes businessmen, professional people, office workers, many skilled workers. 4.Warm-up Activity 1) What is the purpose of the law? We all know that the chief purpose of law are to maintain peace and order, to protect the rights of citizens, to secure justice and to punish wrong0doers. Good laws are those that are considered to serve the cause of justice for the society to which they apply. But even good laws may be unjustly applied or may be unjust in certain situations. In the story we are going to study today, the author tells us about what happened to him more than a decade ago. It was really a very unpleasant experience, yet it provides us with much food for thought精神食粮. 2) True or false exercise in Teacher’s book

大学英语教学典型案例

1 翻转课堂与传统课堂相结合 大学英语综合课 一、翻转课堂的教改背景 目前大学英语高校课堂有效性较低，学生普遍认为“教师授课内容充足，只是学生兴趣不是很高”，“老师很敬业，课堂稍显沉闷”，“课堂教学缺少应有的活力”，“有点枯燥，希望老师能激起同学的学习兴趣”，“如果增加一些讨论环节，效果会更好”。 基于这样的背景，在本学期的授课中使用翻转课堂的形式。在翻转课堂中，教师提前布置有启发性学习任务，学生在课下共同讨论，分析。课上回报、展示、分享。教师进行点评，问题解答。翻转课堂是以学生为中心，教师升格为学生学习的设计者、指导者、帮助者和学习的伙伴。学生积极参与各种活动，他们的学习主动性，团队合作能力、交际能力、创新能力得到了提高。 二、教学过程、内容、方法 以两个教学案例介绍如何进行翻转课堂的尝试。 案例一 综合教材第二册第四单元Volunteering,本单元的主题是志愿者活动，该话题是大学生较为感兴趣的话题之一。单词讲解是枯燥的，教师讲解例句学生不愿意听。在本单元采取翻转课堂的形式。任务前置：教师布置给学生四个单词的自学任务，了解单词的读音、词义，并用单词做出相应的句子。课上教师使用学习通的随机选人功能，选取4名同学将所完成的句子进行分享，教师就学生的完成情况予以点评，并使用学习通进行加分奖励，在线记录。其余单词的讲解教师采取短语匹配等灵活有趣的讲解方法。任务单设计如下：

案例二 综合教材第二册第六单元Advertisement ,本单元的主题是广告。在口语课中，教师采取翻转课堂的形式，任务前置：教师布置给学生Role play 任务。学生每四人一组，进行一则广告的设计、导演、编排、演出。学生对这样的任务很感兴趣，积极准备。表演很精彩，学会了很多英文广告用语与表。 三、教学改革效果与体会 本次课采用了翻转课堂，线上学习（学习通使用），问题教学法等。基于给定话题展开讨论，然后进行小组汇报与展示，对Volunteer的话题展开了讨论。然后教师进行任务前置，学生自学单词。学生课上积极踊跃，加深了印象。也使学生自学遇到的问题得以明显体现。学习通随机选人的使用使课堂紧张而又生动，学生注意力集中。 2
