III.Teaching Procedures 1.lead-in: When you see the title ―A fable for Tomorrow‖, what comes into your mind first? Why is this passage called a fable? What can this fable be about? What are some of the problems relating to the future most people are very concerned about?
A fable is an imaginary story told to teach a moral.―A Fable for Tomorrow‖ is a story invented by the writer which is meant to tell us a moral: if the sizable use of chemical insecticides can not be brought under control, the seemingly impossible tragedy will become a stark reality.World economy has been striding forward in the past century.However, this has been achieved at the cost of contaminating the environment we are living in, and human beings are now paying high prices for what they have done to nature.Meanwhile, many environmentalists are devoted to making more people realize the ecological consequences incurred in the process of modernization.Now environmental protection and sustainable development have become the two greatest concerns for the whole world.Types of Pollution The chief types of environmental pollution include air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, pollution caused by solid waste and hazardous waste, and noise pollution.Besides, pesticides have been regarded by many environmentalists as a type of pollution, too.It is believed that pesticides are poisons which should be used as a last resort and if used, then they should be used with extreme caution.1)Make a short speech, telling a story or describing a scene about the future world in one of the aspects such as medicine, environment, food, energy, housing, population, transportation, etc.Reference1:
Back from the Dead One morning in the year 2070, a man called Duane awakens.He looks up and sees a doctor in a white coat smiling at him.―Why am I in hospital?‖ he asks.―You’ve been sick.‖ The doctor replies.Then Duane notices a badge on the doctor’s coat.It reads ― Alcor Resuscitation.‖ Suddenly Duane remembers everything.He has come back to life, 70 years after he ―died‖.The reason this was possible is because, instead of being buried or cremated when he died, Duane’s body was preserved in a ―flask‖ of liquid nitrogen(at –196 degrees Celsius).And there it ― waited‖ until science had developed the technology to revive a frozen human being.Suddenly, a woman appears beside the doctor.It is Duane’s wife Jeannie, looking more beautiful than ever.For the past 70 years, she has been taking drugs that prevent her body from aging.Duane looks lovingly at her, and then at his own body.That , too, is in perfect condition.The couple look at each other apprehensively—after all, they haven’t seen each other for 70 years.―I guess we’ve got some stuff to talk about, huh?‖ Duane says to her.Reference 2:

stApril Fool’s Day is on April 1.It is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting.No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France.New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st.When New Year's Day was changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple,(such as saying, “Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate.Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag.The news media even gets involved.For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about ”spaghetti farmers“ and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, ”April Fool!“
April Fool's Day is a ”for-fun-only“ observance.Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their ”significant other“ out to eat in a fancy restaurant.Nobody gets off work or school.It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
Each country celebrates April Fool's differently.In France, the April Fool's is called ”April Fish“(Poisson d'Avril).The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs and when some discovers a this trick, they yell ”Poisson d'Avril!“.In England, tricks can be played only in the morning.If a trick is played on you, you are a ”noodle“.In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an ”April Gowk“, which is another name for a cuckoo bird.The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks.Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious ”Kick Me" sign.Unit 3

1)The reason why little girl like Barbie very much is that she looks like real people and can be dressed up in a perfect way.2)Man-made objects, though out-numbered by natural objects, play a more and more important role in people’s life.3)The number of man-made object is increasing steeply, compared with the number of natural objects as well as its actual number.4)The little girl of today would gladly use their old Barbie to exchange the new version of Barbie whereas their mother or grandmother would be reluctant to throw away their dolls until they fall-apart simply, because they are too old nothing could be more obvious than the difference between them.5)The societies and people that are used to poverty reject the practice of using one product only for once or a short time and then replace it by a new one.6)It is meaning that less for a man who is fairy old to say that he wants to develop a hobby in this or that form.7)It is sensible that you further develop the hobby;you already have instead of trying to cultivate a new one.8)Taking up a hobby and living a more regularized way of life are the most effective way to save them from their boredom.9)The long hour’s work in the office or factory provides these people with the money so they can live their lives and gives them a strong desire for the simplest pleasure.10)In fact, it is highly likely that those people who take their work as their pleasure are need to divert their effort from work from time to time urgently.11)The ability to do the right thing at the right time is essential to a good leader.12)A leader must be good at exercising his authority(this is a quality that a leader must have)and be able to demonstrate to the people that he does.13)A leader should find out what the people want to do or have, and guide them to achieve it.14)If we are not powerful, determined and brave, we can’t except to find a good leader, no matter how skilled we are in shopping images, we can’t make him to be what he is not, he is only a representative of all of us.15)John Dewey has said seriously that the degree that someone’s behavior can influence the custom is the same as the degree that his body talk can influence his mother tongue.16)The result from a serious study of the custom which is not influence by the outside shows that what Dewey said is just an objective description of the fact.17)If we still think that our culture is superior to those of the people who we regard as uncivilized, underdeveloped or irreligious, the study anthropology must be meaningless.18)We must realized that all the beliefs are based on the same thing, the intangible and should be treated equally along with our own.19)I believe that people in the society high above me are selfless, pure, noble and very intelligent.20)But it is difficult for a man of the working class to improve his social status, especially when he was full of objectives and imaginations 21)It is physically strong, and they profited a lot by exploiting my strength, but I only lived a poor life.22)He was no longer strong enough to make money by selling his strength and had nothing left to him, he had no other choice, but to slide down to the bottom of the society and die there in misery.23)After 100 years, the black people is still suffering in the isolated part of American society, and he feels like an outcast in his own country.24)We can see very clearly that as far as the black people are concerned, America didn’t fulfill its promise.25)We are here to demand the fulfillment of the promises which can guarantee us our freedom and justice.26)This is not the right time to calm down and adopt gradualism, waiting patiently for a solution.

Unit11 培养业余爱好
1)一位颇有天赋的美国心理学家曾经说过：“焦虑是情感处于极度紧张的一瞬间、脑筋执着于某一件事死死不放。”在这样情况下，任何摆脱焦虑的努力都是徒劳的。你越急于摆脱这种困扰，就越难达到目的。你只有慢慢地往这紧张的思绪里掺进一些别的东西。如果这些东西选择恰当，如果它能真正引起你对其他方面事物的兴趣，那么你心中那个紧绷着的弦就会逐渐地，而且往往会很快地松弛下来，心情开始恢复正常。
2)因此，培养一种业余爱好或新的兴趣形式，对于一名公务员是头等重要的行事之道。然而这不是一朝一夕之事，也不是仅仅凭借意志力就能迅速即兴完成的工作。培养其他的智力兴趣是一个长期的过程。必须精心挑选好种子，必须将种子播种在肥沃的土壤中，必须悉心照料它们，这样在需要时能给人带来生气的果实才会唾手可得。
3)要想生活真正得愉快和安全，你就得有至少两三种实实在在的爱好。到了年迈才开始说：“我要培养这样或那样的爱好。”这是徒劳的。因为这样只会使你的神经绷得更紧。一个人也许会获得大量与他本身日常工作毫不相干的知识，然而这些知识却不能使他获益分毫，或感到轻松。这时候凭兴趣而工作已经为时太晚，你只能一心一意的去爱你所从事的工作。大体上讲，人可以分为三类：第一类人劳碌终生，第二类人忧虑终生，第三类人终日游手好闲。对于一个劳累了整个星期的体力劳动者来说，让他在星期六下午去踢一场足球或打一场棒球是毫无益处的。而对于一个忙碌了一周或为一些重要的事情而担忧了一周的政治家、专业人士或商人来说，在周末还要他去为一些鸡毛蒜皮小事而操心也是绝不可取的。
4))至于那些要风得风，要雨得雨，一切都随心所欲的人，他们是很可悲的。因为任何一个新的惊喜或意外都只会让他们生腻，他们不停地这儿窜窜，那儿跑跑，企图摆脱那些无所不在的无聊的困扰，但一切都是徒劳。对于他们来说，最好的解决办法就是过上一种有约束性的有条不紊的生活。
5)可以这样说，凡是理智、勤勉、有作为的人也可以分为两种：第一种，他们的工作就是工作，娱乐就是娱乐；第二种人，他们的工作和娱乐合而为一。这两种人中前者占绝大多数。他们有他们的补偿方式。在办公室或工厂长时间工作会给他们以回报，这不仅仅是指维持生计的手段，还包括对娱乐的极度渴望，哪怕是再简单在朴素不过的娱乐。但是受到命运垂青的人往往属于第二种类型。他们的生活是一种自然地和谐。对于他们来说，工作时间永远不够长。每天都是假日，而一般的节假日到来时，他们却不愿意过，认为那强行打扰了他们非常有趣的工作。但是对于两种类型的人来说，转变一下观点，换一换环境，转移一下精力，都是十分必要的。确实，那些工作即娱乐的人很可能就是最需要是不是让精神从工作汇总放松的人。
