According to the Writing Strategy in Unit 4, there are usually five ways to begin an essay: using a quotation , stating the time and place of the event to be described , providing relevant background information, and giving a surprising or interesting fact.Text A of this unit starts with a personal story , which could also be very appealing to readers.Personal experiences sound the reader.Then the author offers four keys to getting hired.All are instructive yet each is begun in a way different from the rest stylistically.Let’s have a closer look at them one by one.Key 1 starts with a quotation—― If you miss one day of practice, you notice the difference,‖ the saying goes among musicians.― If you miss two days of practice, the critics notice the difference.If you miss three days of practice, the audience notices the difference.‖
Key 2 starts with a surprising fact—―Recently I played a doubles tennis match paired with a 90-year-old.‖
Key 3 begins with a question—―Do you remember the four –minute mile?‖
Key 4 begins with a personal opinion—―In my opinion, the majority of New York cabdrivers are unfriendly , in not downright rude.Most of the cabs are filthy, and almost all of them sport an impenetrable, bulletproof partition‖.All this makes the article more appealing to the reader.III.Cultural Notes: IV.Language Study 1.applicant

语言重点讲解
第一部分 功能性的日常对话用语 以下提供按不同功能分类的12种日常对话用语
1.问候与应答 问候:
How are you/ your kid(孩子)?
How is everything with you?/ How is it going?/How are you doing ? / How are you getting along?/ What‟s going on? 最近怎样啊?
Haven‟t seen you for ages!What are you busy doing now? 好久不见了,忙什么了? What‟re you up to? 你在忙些什么?
What‟s new? / What‟s up? 怎么样啊? Long time no see!好久没见
What brings you here? 是什么风把你吹来了? 回答

As usual./ Same old stuff / Not much./ Nothing special./ Nothing in particular.老样子
注意事项:
1).打招呼用语应熟悉程度而正式非正式而不同。比如初次见面有第三者介绍后再致问候,就比较正式。
介绍类 自我介绍
My name is Carlos.我的名字是Carlos。Hello.I'm Kim.您好。我是Kim。
Let me introduce myself.请让我来做自我介绍。介绍他人 This is Mr.…
May I introduce you to …? Allow me to introduce … 介绍后问候 How do you do?
Nice /Glad/ Pleased to meet you.Hi, my name is Tom Green.Call me Tom.注意事项:
1)老熟人之间的问候可以只是简单的 Hi!
2).问候后可以寒暄聊天,聊聊天气,家人,近况。但要避免打听对方的私事。回避中方的传统问候如: Where are you going?
Did you have meal? 3).也可以关心对方的身体,通常是:How are you?
如果发现对方状态不好,要委婉的问“You look tired, are you OK?”
而要回避中方的习惯“Are you sick?”此类直译说法。
另外探望病人时用 “How are you feeling?”
例子说明
1.---How are you, Bob?(Test1)
---_______.A.How are you?
B.I‟m fine.Thank you.C.How do you do?
D.Nice to meet you.选B.对于how are you 的问候回答,就可以具体来回答是好还是坏,比如 fine,not bad, not good 等,但是对于how do you do 的问候,就必须是回答how do you do.这是第一次见面时的用语。
2.答谢与应答
西方交际中“谢”不离口。对于别人提供的举手之劳,对于夸赞,对于别人的邀请不管接受与否都要先表达谢意再说。
表达谢意 Thank you.Thanks a lot.I really appreciate what you‟ve done.我很感激你为我所做的一切。
appreciate 感激 Thank you for the book you gave to me.Thank you all/just the same.(当别人未能提供实质性的帮助时候。比如问路,别人说不知道,没能给你帮上忙,但你还是要说 “Thank you all the same.(还是谢谢你)回应感谢
Don‟t mention it.It‟s/ That‟s all right.That‟s okay.It‟s my pleasure./ My pleasure.I‟m glad you like it.You‟re welcome.注意事项:
1).不要把中文的答谢语“没关系”和“不要紧” 套用为It doesn‟t matter./Never mind.2).不要套用中文的“这是我应该做的”(This is my duty.This is what I should do).3).That‟s very kind of you.是别人在帮助你后你表达对对方的感谢。不用You‟re so kind.例子说明
——Wow!This is a marvelous room!I‟ve never known you‟re so artistic!(Test 6)——_______.A.Great, I‟m very art-conscious.B.Don‟t mention it C.Thanks for your compliments.D.It‟s fine.“This is a marvelous room!” 这个房间真棒!
对于此类的夸赞(compliment)的话,都要 3 先表示谢谢。B的don‟t mention it 是用来回应别人的谢意时的用法。
3.道歉与应答 表达歉意
I‟m terribly sorry for keeping you waiting.(terribly, 程度副词,意思是“非常地”)Excuse me for my interruption.很抱歉打扰你 I‟m sorry that I‟m late.Sorry to call you so late.I beg your pardon../Pardon me.(没听清,请对方重复时)
Excuse me.(打断别人谈话,需要提前离开时,或请人让路时)回应道歉
It doesn‟t matter.Never mind.Don‟t keep it in mind.That‟s OK.That‟s all right.注意事项
excuse me/ us 作为开头问话语,通常在说或做可能令人不悦的事情之前使用。回应的人不必理会excuse me/ us, 只需回应excuse me/us后的说话内容。例子说明
1)---I‟m sorry.I lost the key.---_______.A.Well, it‟s ok.B.No, It‟s all right.C.You are welcome
D.You are wrong.选A.对于对方的歉意,可以回答it‟s ok./ It‟s all right.但是B项中的NO 是不恰当的。A项中的well是个感叹词,做接话词之用(应对之际,答话之前使用)。也可表示同意,犹豫等情感。
2)---Excuse me, could you show me the way to the nearest post office?(test 6)
---____ Oh yes!The two blocks away from here at the Green Avenue.You can‟t miss it.A.I beg your pardon?
B.What do you mean?
C.You‟re welcome.D.Mm, let me think.选D.speaker A 中的excuse me是在打扰别人问别人问题时候惯常加的一句礼貌表达。对此speaker B 不需要做专门回应。此题中从oh yes 这个下文可以感到回答者对于此问题做了一番思考,所以选D合适。A是没听懂或听清时候请对方重述的表达;B是请对方解释或者反问时的表达; C是对于对方的致谢时候的回复。
4.邀请与应答
邀请
Would you like to come with me? I‟d like to invite you to dinner tonight.We‟d like to invite you to join us.Would you mind if I ask you to sit with me? I wonder if you can… 接受邀请的应答 Yes, I‟d love to.Thanks for your invitation.It‟s my pleasure.拒绝邀请的应答
I‟d love to, but...(后面补充不能接受邀请的原因)I‟m afraid I am busy.I‟m afraid I can‟t.But thank you all the same.I am sorry to turn you down.我很抱歉必须拒绝你.turn.down 拒绝
注意事项:
1).在西方对于对方的邀请,不管是接受或拒绝都会表达对对方的邀请的谢意。因此在回答时候,要避免只是简单的“Thank you”,而不附加接受或谢绝的语句,这样容易表达不清,让对方不明白你到底是拒绝还是接受了。2).要注意礼貌委婉。
别人邀请你参加他们的活动, 就算你不想去, 也不要直接了当地说 “No, I don't want to…” 这样子别人下次可能就不会找你了.试著用这种比较好的说法.先说 “I really want to…” , 或是 “I really love to…”, 再来才接著说 “but I got hundreds of things to do”.这样感觉上比较礼貌, 也比较不会让别人觉得没面子.3)要回避一些中文式的表达。
如,中文里拒绝别人常会说,“我有事“,这里不能直接翻译成 “Sorry,I have something to do”,而应该说“I‟m afraid I‟m busy/ I‟m engaged.” 另外,最好是说出你那个时间短具体还有什么事情要做,以表诚意。
例子说明
1)---We are going to have a singing party tonight.Would you like to join us?(Test 4)---________ A.I‟m afraid not, because I have to go to an important meeting.B.Of course not.I have no idea.C.No, I can‟t.D.That‟s all set.选A.对于别人的邀请拒绝时候一定要委婉,像A中的 I‟m afraid not 就要比C中的No 有礼貌,另外还要说明原因以示真诚。D 表示“一切都搞定了”。2)---Can you go to the concert with us this evening?(Test 4)
---___________
A.No, I already have plans.B.I‟d love to, but I‟m busy tonight.C.No, I really don‟t like being with you.D.I‟m ill, so I shouldn‟t go out.选B.同样也是要委婉拒绝,A,C的硬邦邦的No来拒绝要排除。D里也缺了寒暄套语,不符合西方文化,所以还是选择B。
5.道别与应答
I'd better go now.我最好现在就走。Sorry, I must be off.I have to go now./I have to get going./ I have to run.我必须走了。/我得走了。
I‟m afraid I must be going/ leaving.I‟m afraid I must go now.Thank you for your dinner.回应
表示挽留的回应
Are you already leaving? Do you really have to go?/ Couldn‟t you at least stay for another cup of tea? 不挽留的回应
Bye./
Bye-bye./Good-bye.See you soon.希望很快再见 So long.再见。
Speak to you soon.稍后再交谈。
See you./ See you later.Take care.保重。
Take it easy.再见,祝你过得轻松愉快。Have a nice day.祝您全天愉快。I'll call back later.稍后我将回电话。I'll call you soon.我很快将给您打电话。
It's been really nice seeing you again.能与您再次见面我真高兴。Let's get together soon.让我们不久后再相聚。Let's keep [stay] in touch.让我们保持联系。
I won‟t keep/ hold up you, then.It was nice of you to come.Nice talking with you.I‟ll be seeing you.I'll walk you out.我送你出去吧.注意事项:
1).中文的告别客套话像主人的“请慢走(Walk slowly)“,客人的“请留步(Stay where you are)”,“不要送了(Don‟t come any further)” 不能生硬的加以套用。英文中相似含义的表达是 “Take it easy”/ “Drive safely/carefully”
2).主人可以问 Do you have a good time today? 今天玩的高兴吗? 或者可以嘱咐Take care.例子说明:
---Marilyn,I‟m afraid I have to be leaving now.(Test 1)
---__________.A.That sounds wonderful.B.Oh, so early? C.Not at all.D.Good luck.选B.对话中Speaker A 表明要告辞了,只有B表明是想挽留的含义。
6.请求帮助与应答
I wonder if you could …?
I would be grateful if you would be kind enough to … Do you mind doing something for me? 应答
提供帮助
Sure./ Certainly./Of course./ No problem./ All right./ With pleasure.Yes/ Sure,here you are.(递给对方物品的时候)拒绝帮助
No.I am afraid I can‟t … I‟m sorry.I need to … I‟d like to say yes, but…
注意事项:
拒绝他人的请求时候,拒绝方式一定要礼貌,而且要说明无法满足请求的原因与理由。
例子说明:
---Would you mind changing seats with me?(Test 4)---_______
A.Yes, you can.B.Of course, I like to
C.No ,I don‟t mind
D.Certainly, please do.选C.此句为请求的回应。对于英语中mind一词的回答,如果介意,就用yes;如果不介意,就用no.7.提供帮助与应答
提供帮助What can I do for you? Let me do it for you.Do you need me to do it for you? 应答 接受帮助 Please.Thank you for your help.拒绝帮助 No, thank you.Thank you all the same.8.祝愿与应答
祝福Congratulations!Good luck to you!I‟m glad to hear that.(听到对方的好消息时)Many happy returns of the day!(生日祝福时)

注意事项:
对于夸赞,英语国家的人是倾向于接受,而中国人是倾向于不接受或不正面接受,总是习惯使用谦辞,如,“ 哪里”,“ 差得远”“ 过奖了,比不上你”等。若真想表达谦虚,就可用 That‟s quite a compliment coming from you./ I‟m flattered./ You‟re flattering me.而不要生硬翻译。另外,对于这谦虚的回答,夸赞方可以再来一句“Own it!”来强调,表明“你确实如此”之意。
10.安慰与应答 个人心情

第三部分 重难点讲解
此部分针对一些含义丰富的口头表达短语 和一些容易混淆的表达做重点详解
Come on!含义非常丰富,在不同的场合配不同的语气就会有含有不同的意思。
例一: 在大热天你看到人家穿了一件毛衣, 你就可以说 come on, dude。就是说大哥, 拜托你喔.(有点受不了人家的意思)
例二: 你老爸一个劲唠叨你的不是,你可以说Come on, daddy.其意思是拜托您请您别讲了好不好?
例三:跟同学约好了五点出门, 结果他四点五十九分了, 他还在磨蹭,你也可以催他, Come on, it's five already.例四:Come on 也可以当作叫人家过来的意思, 例如你看到你同学在走路, 你就可以说, Come on, I'll give you a ride.例五: 同学考砸了,在哭哭啼啼,你也可以说,Come on , it is not a
big deal.此处就是安慰别人。
另外给人人打气加油的意思。
What's up? 什么事? 1.“What's up?” 是很常用的一种打招呼方式.这就是问对方近来怎样, 有什么事吗? 通常如果没什么事人家就会说 “Not much.” 不过还有一种情况也很常见, 你先跟人家说 “Hey!What's up?” 那别人也不说 “Not much”, 反而反问一句, “What's up?” 所以 “What's up?” 已经变成有点 Hello!的味道在里面了.2.“What's up?” 也常被用来问人家有什么事? 例如有人登门拜访, 你就会说 “What's up?” 到底有何贵干啊?
How Come 为什么?(怎么会这样?)
How come 的用法大部分就等于 why 但是它的用法没有像 why 那么广, 它通常是用在你觉得奇怪, 而问为什么的时候, 比如说有人早上一大早要去 supermarket 你就会问他.“How come?”
另外, 当别人问你一个问题, 而你不想回答时可以说 “How come?” 相当于, “Why do you ask that?” 也就是说 “It's none of your business!”
虽然 how come 跟 why 的用法上差不多, 但二者的问法不同, 例如上句, “Why is our oven broken?” 换成 how come 的话, 要说成, “How come our oven is broken?” 注意一下, 这二句的 be 动词位置是不一样的
Same here.我也是.例如上网聊天最后大家常会说, “All right.I have to go to bed now.”(好吧, 我该去睡觉了.)这时对方就可以回答, “same here.” 表示我也该睡觉了.另外 ditto 这个用法也流行过好一阵子.它的意思是, “同上”。例如 在电影 人鬼情未了(Ghost)里, Demi Moore 和 Patrick Swayze 的对话, “I love you.” “Ditto.”
You are set.你完成了.That’s all set.All set!做好了。准备好了。(见《大学英语》Test 4,NO5)
就是做完一件事就叫 set.比如你租用了双人自行车环东湖骑行后,在归还时候, 出租方要检查,如果都没问题, 就可以说, Everything is all right, you are set.意思是说, 没问题, 你可以走了.一般 set 是单指一件事, 如果不单只有一件事, 则用 all set.又例如说,大家一起分工完成一些事情, 当leader问你完成了没, 而你也已经完成你负责部分的时候,就可以讲 all set, sir!就是说全部完成了
也可以以反问的语气说, all set? 就是问“都做完了吗?”
That's that.与That's it.That's that 通常是接在否定句后, 意思是, 就这样了, 不必再多说了.这样的语气是很强烈的, 通常听的人可能会不太高兴.比如有时面对粘人的电话推销员也许一开始你只是很客气地说, “I am not interested.” 可是有些人就会不识相地一直说, “What do you want me to do to change your mind?” 这时就可不客气地说, “I don't want it, and that's that.” 表达厌烦了的语气。.That's it.的意思是就这样吧, 就这些吧, 在点餐时会用到,表示结束,没有不耐烦的语气。
That's OK.与OK “That's OK.” 和 “OK.” 指的是完全不同的意思.“That's OK.” 其实有“没关系, 无所谓”的味道在里面。Ok表示是“可以”。
比如如果别人问你要不要先洗个澡啊? 你答, “That's OK.” 就是不要的意思, 相当于 “I'm fine.” “ 我很好, 你不用操心”的意思, 言下之意就是“你不用麻烦了, 我会照顾我自己”。
如果回答用的 “OK.” 却是要洗澡的意思.第三节 总结
1.要熟悉英语中的各种功能性的表达并熟悉各种情景的对话用语,这样可以在短时间内,判断对话发生的地点和场景。
2.要熟悉西方人们日常的交际习惯,礼貌规则。了解中西方的交际习惯差异。特别提醒大家注意:我们是在说英语,不是用英语的句型套用汉语的习惯。在交际用语中,考生应该选择符合西方文化的语言,特别注意 Thank you和Sorry 的使用。
3.在做交际用语题题目时候。要注意答案不是明显的对错问题,它是指是否符合英语口语习惯的问题。答题时,不是寻找错误,而是判断语言的使用是否规范。所以通过多做多说多了解文化培养自己的英语语感。
4.建议找一本中级程度的英语口语书作为平时交际应用学习的参考与辅导。

Students conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing practice to deepen their understanding of the points taught in class.1)Pre-reading tasks(30 minutes)1)T asks Ss the following questions on the song Coming out of Dark:(5minutes)
----Consider the title of the song, what does “Dark” refer to?(near death;loss of consciousness after the car accident;slow and painful recovery;despair)
-----How is the song related to the theme of the unit?(To get over despair after injury is also a form of overcoming obstacles.)
-----What happened to the singer?
-----what helped her pull through all the hardship she suffered? 2)T dictates the following proverbs to Ss:(15 minutes)1)Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)2)Rome wasn’t built in a day.(伟业非一日之功)3)God helps those who help themselves.(自助者天助之)4)Constant dripping wears away the stone.(锲而不舍,金石可镂)2)Cultural notes(1)Olympics: the Olympic Games are the most important international sports event in the world held every four years.The ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia every four years from 776 B.C.to 392 A.D.the modern Game s were first held in 1896 in Greece and, with the exception of three games not held because of the two world wars, have been held in various cities of the world art regular 4 year intervals.Since 1924, a separate program of winter sports has been added to the Game.In 2008 Beijing will host the 29th Olympic Games.(2)The Olympic symbol------five interlocking red, blue, yellow, black, and green circles on a white field-----represents the continents of the world joined in friendship.(3)The Olympic motto is Citius-Altius-Fortius.These words mean “Swifter, Higher, Stronger”.Suggested words: strong-willed, persevering, intelligent, open-minded, resourceful, talented, gifted, smart, confident, humorous, far-sighted, self-esteem, stubborn, diligent, industrious, ambitious, committed, devoted, eloquent, aggressive, dominant, arrogant, charitable, generous, extravagant, frugal, stingy, kind-hearted, warm-hearted, modest, unpretentious, proud, humble, pretentious, self-important, conceited, worldly, sophisticated, tactful, considerate, selfish, easy-going, disagreeable, skeptical, moral integrity, individual attraction(appearance, dress, words and behavior)3)While-reading tasks(75 minutes)1)Text organization
i.Listen to the tape, then T guides Ss through the directions for Text Organization Exercise 1, so that they know the text consists of four parts.ii.Ss scan the first sentence of Paras1—6, and get ready to answer the following questions:-----Which first sentence switches from past tense to past perfect tense?(the first sentence of Para 3)(T may as well as tell Ss this: a story is usually narrated in the simple past tense.When a past event is recalled, the past perfect tense will be used as a signal.Afterwards the flashback is also narrated in the simple past tense.)
-----Which first sentence shows that the flashback is over and the narration returns to the National Junior Olympics(the first sentence of paras6)
------By now, do you know how to divide the text into four parts? Write down your answers in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1)2)T explains language points and gives Ss practice(see language study).when they comes to the end of a part, Ss will sum up its main idea in the blanks provided in Text Organization Exercise 1)
3)Ss answer these questions(see Text Analysis):-----Without the last sentence, would you still admire Michael Stone’s achievement?
-----Who would you admire better, a Michael Stone with a sound body or a blind Michael Stone?------Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’ blindness until the last sentence? 4)Finding out details
i.T introduces the activity by saying: A child usually inherits characteristics from both his/her mother and father.So does Michael Stone.Michael’s mother is romantic and passionate, while his father is a hard-core realist.Work with a partner;find out those details about Michael Stone that shows him to be his mother’s boy or his father’s son.ii.Some pairs report to the class their findings.iii.T asks Ss this question: Dreaming and hard work, which is more important to Michael’s success? Why? 5)Text analysis
Those who have read this story will probably agree that its 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, the real climax is in the last sentence.When we find that out, what a great impact it has on us.The text plays on words on more than one occasion.The text title, True Height, itself has more than one meaning.We may understand it as the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another, or we may view it as the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.As mentioned in the Suggested Teaching plan, the word “hot” in the first paragraph also plays on two different meanings, one literal, the other figurative.5.教学方式及在教学中应注意的问题:
A combination of traditional teaching methods with the communicative approach will be adopted.Special attention should be paid to classroom interaction.Give students time to adapt to the new teaching mode in the university that are quite different from the one they were used to in the middle school.More encouragement is needed and more guidance will be given to them in their extracurricular study.6.主要参考书目:
季佩英,吴晓真,姚燕瑾,2002,《全新版大学英语综合教程2-教师用书》。上海:上海外语教育出版社。7.思考题和习题: 1)《全新版大学英语综合教程2》第一单元Text A后的习题。(45 minutes)Vocabulary I.1(P.142-143)III.Word s with Multiple Meanings(P.145-146)

3.have the desired effect
4.be calculated at

It was either the eruption of the people in the stands or the thump of his landing that brought him back to earth.1)What made it possible for a blind boy to set a world record in pole vault?
__________________________________________________
2)When did you begin to learn English?
_________________________________________________
3)Who has ever exerted the greatest influence on you?

How to write a personal description(2)
In Unit Four, Book One, we briefly discussed two aspects in the description of an individual: Focus on Characteristic Features and Supporting Facts.What will be dealt with today are: Writer’s Tone
To bring home the point the writer wants to convey to the reader, his /her tone----whether it is angry, sympathetic, amused, or admiring about the subject------plays an important role in a personal description, as in the two texts we’ve just studied the authors’ voices can be heard now and then, directly and indirectly.Opening/Closing Device
To arouse the reader’s interest or achieve better results, the writer usually designs the opening and closing paragraphs skillfully.As we can see, in Text A the writer keeps the most important fact about Michael Stone until the last word, and in Text B the author begins his essay with reference to a common saying.(2)Homework
Try to describe one of your friends or your teachers 1 His/Her physical condition;2 His/Her character traits.
