challenges, whereas some others think they don’t have to think much about the future, because future is

full of uncertainties.

Language points

1 These changing ideas about children have led many social scientists to claim that childhood is a

“social construction”. (Para 4)

A social construction refers to the process or result of creating an idea or system of behaviour in social

contexts, ie it is created and developed between people and is not something natural or genetic.

Childhood memories Unit 2

2 Social anthropologists have shown this in their studies of peoples ... (Para 5)

Social anthropologists are scholars and researchers who study human societies, customs and beliefs

from a social perspective, which may be distinct from the focus of physical anthropologists or linguistic

anthropologists.

3 Because they can’t be reasoned with, and don’t understand, parents treat them with a great deal of

tolerance and leniency. (Para 5)

Tolerance is the attitude of someone who is willing to accept other people’s beliefs or way of life without

criticizing them even if they disagree with them. The word leniency means giving a punishment or acting

in a way that is not as severe or harsh as it could be.

4 They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality

of social competence … (Para 6)

Something is prized if it is considered to be very important or valuable. The examples in the passage

emphasize how different cultural communities may give importance to quite different qualities which they

expect from children, so the children are brought up very differently.

5 They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted

at, or beaten. (Para 6)

To tell someone off means to criticize someone angrily for doing something wrong. If you are told off for

doing something in a serious or official way, you are reprimanded.

6 Looking at it from a cross-cultural perspective shows the wide variety of childhoods that exist across

the world … (Para 11)

A cross-cultural perspective is a view which considers different cultures separately or independently and

then makes comparisons. An intercultural perspective would look at the relations and interactions between

different cultures or communities, taking inside views of each culture into account. A transcultural

perspective would look at different cultures using knowledge, skills and insights which are thought to

apply to a wide range of cultural contexts and which would help people in intercultural contexts.

Reading and understanding

3 Read the passage again and complete the table.

Teaching tips

? When Ss have completed the table on their own, divide the class into seven groups, each group

being responsible for one row in the table. They have to summarize the characteristics of childhood

of this ethnic group, and also include an example. Then they report to the class. Each group should

also add related information they learned from the passage, and the language and culture notes. The

presentation of each group could be given from that exact roles of parents from that exact cultural or

ethnic group. If this is difficult, T may give each group a copy of the example below, and ask them to

practise and present it to the class.

? As a way to follow this up, T can ask each group, one by one, to compare their result with that of

another group, without looking at their books. An alternative follow-up is for the T, together with

one or two Ss, to take the roles of TV reporters who meet each group and ask them “on camera” to

compare themselves with another group, and talk about how they understand the other group from a

cross-cultural perspective.

1 My flying dreams were believable as a landscape by Dali, so real that I would awake with a sudden

shock, a breathless sense of having tumbled like Icarus from the sky and caught myself on the soft

bed just in time. These nightly adventures in space began when Superman started invading

dreams and teaching me how to fly. He used to come roaring by in his shining blue suit with his cape

whistling in the wind, looking remarkably like my Uncle Frank who was living with mother and

me. In the magic whirling of his cape I could hear the wings of a hundred seagulls, the motors of a

thousand planes.

我的飞行梦像达利的风景画那么真实可信，以致于自己常常会在一阵惊吓中醒来，好像伊卡罗斯那

样从空中摔下来，虽然发现自己刚好掉到软软的床上，但也被吓得喘不过气来。当超人开始侵入我

的梦乡，并教给我飞行的技巧之后，我每夜的太空冒险便开始了。超人身着耀眼的蓝色衣服，肩披

随风飕飕作响的斗篷，经常从我身边呼啸而过。他长得太像我的舅舅弗兰克了，舅舅那会儿正跟

妈妈和我住在一起。当超人的斗篷神奇地旋转时，我好像能听见上百只海鸥的振翅声，上千架飞

2 In contrast, children on the Pacific island of Tonga, studied by Helen Morton, are regularly beaten by

their parents and older siblings. They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they

lack the highly prized quality of social competence (or poto as the Tongans call it). They are regularly

told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted at, or beaten. Children are thought of as mischievous; they cry or want to feed simply because they are naughty,

and beatings are at their most severe between the ages of three and five when children are seen as

particularly wilful. Parents believe that social competence can only be achieved through discipline

and physical punishment, and treat their children in ways that have seemed very harsh to outsiders.

(?这段话里有多处被动用法，有些译成中文时仍保留被动态，有些则应该变成主动，否则译文就

不通顺。)

相反，根据海伦·莫顿的研究，太平洋岛国汤加的儿童经常挨父母和哥哥姐姐的打。人们认为儿童

和成年人相比更像疯子，因为他们缺乏被大家看重的社会能力（汤加人称之为poto）。小孩子经常

因为笨手笨脚而挨骂，他们连摔跤都会被嘲笑、呵斥，甚至被打。人们认为儿童很顽皮，都是因为

淘气他们才哭闹，或者要东西吃。在大人看来，三至五岁的儿童尤其任性，因此他们打这个年龄段

的孩子也打得最狠。父母们相信，只有靠训导和体罚才能使孩子获得社会能力，所以他们用一种在

外人看来非常严厉的方式对待孩子。

8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.

1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?

(a) To show how complex listening to music is.

(b) To get people to listen to music more.

(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.

2 Who does the writer address as you?

(a) Musicians.

(b) Theatregoers.

(d) Intelligent music lovers.

9 Check (?) the statements you agree with.

√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.

Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.

2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.

He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that we

listen in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.

√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.

He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.

4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.

No, he doesn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enough of the third plane, but that

doesn’t mean they aren’t i ntelligent.

√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.

I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, and his insights into the effective way of listening to music.

√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.

I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses the

analogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.

Language points

1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors and

landscapes. (Para 2)

Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations. Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focus

mostly on nature.

2 While Griet goes ab out her duties, she attracts the attention not only of a butcher’s

boy, Pieter, but

also of the painter himself. (Para 6)

To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to be

working at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.

3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in his

world. (Para 6)

To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest, understand or take part in what he

does.

4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise, and takes her on as his studio

assistant. (Para 7)

The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that she is likely to be successful as an

artist in the future.

5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer will use for his paintings ...

(Para 7)

To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powder by crushing it between two

surfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up different

colours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice

or assistant.

6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret.

(Para 7)

The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually

for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for

people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.

7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)

To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar t

means asking the artist to produce a particular work of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words

6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5.

In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1) portraits painted. But from the

Renaissance onwards things changed. Firstly, the growing importance of the middle classes led many

ordinary people to (2) commission paintings, often of members of their family. Secondly, artists

became interested in showing scenes of (3) domestic life, set in the (4) interiors of ordinary houses, and

(5) consequently they began to (6) engage ordinary people, such as servant girls, as models. Part of the

mystery for (7) viewers today concerns the identity of these models, in masterpieces such as Leonardo’s

Mona Lisa and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.

1 Listen, if you can, to the 48 fugue themes of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavichord. Listen to each theme,

one after another. You will soon realize that each theme mirrors a different world of feeling. You will

also soon realize that the more beautiful a theme seems to you the harder it is to find any word that will

describe it to your complete satisfaction. Yes, you will certainly know whether it is a gay theme or a sad

one. You will be able, in other words, in your own mind, to draw a frame of emotional feeling around

your theme. Now study the sad one a little closer. Try to pin down the exact quality of its sadness. Is it

pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?

可能的话，你不妨听听巴赫的《平均律钢琴曲集》中的48个赋格主题。依次地、一个个地听听其中

的每一个主题，你很快就会意识到每个主题都反映了一个不同的情感世界，你很快也会意识到你越

觉得某个主题美妙，就越难找到令你完全满意的字眼来描述它。是的，你当然知道那个主题是欢快

的还是悲伤的。换句话说，你能够在脑海中勾勒出那个主题的情感框架。那么就更仔细地听一下这

个悲伤的主题吧，要明确悲伤的性质。是悲观厌世的悲伤，还是无可奈何的悲伤？是时运不济的悲

伤，还是强颜欢笑的悲伤？

2 We know less about the Girl with the Pearl Earring than any of Vermeer’s works. Indeed, the

unexplainable lack of background information may even contribute to the worldwide popularity the

painting enjoys.

With so much mystery, the painting has been the theme of first, a novel and later, a film, both of which

attempt to answer some of the questions about the painting, as well as one, which is immediately more

appropriate to the medium of the novel or the film: Are her wide eyes and enigmatic

half-smile innocent

or seductive?

我们对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》的了解比对维梅尔的其他作品都少。实际上，这种无法解释的背景资

料的缺失甚至会使得该画更受欢迎。

正因为如此神秘，这幅画先是成了一部小说的主题，而后又被一部电影所采纳。它们都试图揭开有

关这幅画的一些谜题，其中一个是：女孩那双睁得大大的眼睛，以及那一丝神秘的微笑，到底是天

真还是诱惑？像小说或电影这类媒介更适合作出回答。

1 随着婚礼的临近，苏珊变得非常焦虑。她说不清楚是什么让自己如此烦恼。在同好友凯特长谈了一

次后，她才意识到，尽管自己已经28岁了，但在情感方面还不够成熟，还没有为婚姻做好准备，也

不知道这桩婚姻是否会给自己带来美满的家庭生活。(pin down; guarantee)

As the wedding ceremony was approaching, Susan had become quite anxious. She could not pin down

what exactly was troubling her. After a long talk with her close friend Kate, she realized that, although

she was 28 years old, she was not emotionally mature enough to be ready for marriage and she was not

sure whether the marriage would guarantee her a happy family life.

2 她知道中国学生总是不愿意表达自己的情感和想法，这不仅仅因为他们对自己的英语口语不够自

信，还因为他们相信稳重是一种美德。因此她特意设计了一些简单的话题，鼓励学生参与讨论，让

他们增强自信心，拉近彼此间的距离。(shy away; engage sb in)

She knew that Chinese students had a way of shying away from revealing their feelings or opinions, due

not merely to their lack of confidence in spoken English, but to their belief in the virtue of modesty. So

she specially conceived a couple of simple topics and encouraged them in the discussion, in order that

they might become more confident and closer with each other.

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.
