Likes or dislikes with regard to food vary greatly from culture to culture.What is disgusting to one person can be a delicacy to another.Sometimes we need to change our eating habits.If we move or travel to a new place with a different culture, our favorite meat, fruit and vegetables may not be available to us.As a result, we have to eat what is different from the food we are used to.Slowly, this strange food may become familiar to us.Our tastes may change, too, and we begin to enjoy eating the food that used to seem unusual to us.Text Blogs on Food Blog One 2014/5/14 Best Places to Eat in Beijing and Shanghai

This will be our first time in Beijing and Shanghai.One of the best things about traveling is all the different foods you get to try.There is Chinese food in the US, but it’s not nearly as good as the food in China!Plus there are lots of things you can’t get in the US.Now we are wondering about what people who actually live in Shanghai and Beijing think are the best places to eat?

Xuehe 20014/5/28

Hi!It was really nice meeting you today at the bar!Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Shanghai so far...and you can try Shanghainese cuisine some time...or maybe some snacks at the City God’s Temple(Chenghuang Miao in Chinese).They’re really one of a kind.Blog Two by Chang Weng, from Malaysia

Funny, Isn’t It? Tuesday morning, I over-slept, while all the bosses were coming.Fortunately I was not coming late, just having no time to da bao my lunch.Me: Qiu Jun, I did not “da bao” today.If you go out for lunch, remember to bring me together.Qiu Jun: Ok, A Weng.I’ll go out for lunch later on.(Few minutes just before the lunch hour.)Qiu Jun: A Weng, let’s go for lunch now.Uncle Zhou: Today we bring A Weng to the sea.Me: Sea?(Sure? Qiu Jun and me don’t know how to swim!)Qiu Jun: Good idea.Me: Oh...(These 2 bosses must have something secret in their plan.)

Few minutes after sitting inside Qiu Jun’s car, huh, we are really reaching the sea.Oh, actually they target on the Sunrise Seafood Restaurant, which is just located besides our company, but we need to turn a big round only to reach there.Hmm, this restaurant is quite good, “floating” on top of the sea.An unlimited sea-view.Uncle Zhou treats us to lunch there.Wow, we finish almost all the ordered food.I feel surprised that I do not recommend food over here.Hehe，I cannot tell my mother, or else she will call me immediately with blar blar blar.Mum, don’t worry, I did not eat any meat, see, my plate is empty.Language Points 1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1.(Blog 1 – Amy)Now we are wondering about what people who actually live in Shanghai and Beijing think are the best places to eat? Analysis: This is a complex sentence.In this sentence what people who actually live in Shanghai and Beijing think are the best places to eat is an object clause of the preposition about, and who are ctually live in Shanghai and Beijing is used as an attributive clause modifying people.Translation: 现在我们想知道，真正住在上海和北京的居民认为什么地方的东西最好吃。

Example: He was deeply displeased by what had occurred that day.Your success will largely depend upon what you do and how you do it.2.(Blog 1 – Dahai)It was really nice meeting you today at the bar!Analysis: In this sentence, the pronoun is used to stand for the real sentence subject meeting you today at the bar.Meeting can also take the infinitive form to meet , but there is a little difference between the two forms.Using V-ing form as subject usually means the action that has been done, while to-do form means that the action is gong to be done.Translation: 今天在酒吧里遇见你们真是太好了！

Example: It was nice meeting so many old friends at the party.It is great to go to attend the international conference in Japan.3.(2 – Para.1)Fortunately, I was not coming late, just having no time to dabao my lunch.Analysis: In this sentence, just having no time to da bao my lunch is a participial phrase used as an adverbial of result.Da bao is but the transliteration of Chinese word “打包” , meaning put(the food)into a box.Translation: 幸运的是，我并没有迟到，只是没来得及带打包的午餐。Example: They hurried to the airport, just finding the plane had taken off.Fortunately the company escaped going bankrupt(破产), just falling into an embarrassing situation.4.(Blog 2-Para.8)I cannot tell my mother, or else she will call me immediately with blar blar blar.Analysis: Or else here is used to mean otherwise.Blar is not a usual English word, and blar blar blar are often said in combination to indicate that someone is complaining or saying something useless.The author uses blar blar blar here to show that his mother may often call to say something trivial which makes him bored.Example: You must pay $100, or else go to prison.The book must be here, or else you have lost it.2 Important Words 1.wonder

v.to express a wish to know;want to know 想知道 e.g.I am wondering what had really happened to him.She is just wondering how to do it.What are they going to do now, I wonder? 2.message

n.a spoken or written piece of information from one person to another

口信，音讯 e.g.There is an important message for you from your professor.Let’s leave her a message to meet us at the station.Did you get the message that your boss has cancelled the meeting? 3.recommend

v.to praise as being good for a purpose;to provide information about

推荐，介绍 e.g.She recommended a good dictionary to the class.I was recommended as a suitable candidate for the job.I recommend that everyone read this article.4.signature

n.a person’s name written by himself 签名 e.g.They returned her cheque because she hadn’t put her signature on it.His signature was signed at the bottom of the letter.5.regional

regional authorities for registration.In this country the regional differences in temperature are great in winter.6.enjoy

Information Related to the Reading Passage

If you are invited to attend a wedding party, a New Year’s party, or a Christmas party, you may need to give a toast on the occasion.Such speeches should be formal, cheerful, not very long and prepared in advance.Text Toast at a Wedding Dinner Dear Friends:

It is with great pleasure that we have come together today to take part in this joyous occasion with this couple whom we love and respect so much.This day, so special and perfect, with warm sunshine, with so many loving friends, will long be remembered by everyone for its magic.But I think the radiance, the grace, the beauty of the bride, Jennifer, makes this special day even more remarkable.To be able to share this occasion adds joy to our own lives.Many of us here have known Jennifer all her life, have watched her turn from a wonderfully active youngster into a graceful and intelligent young woman.We have all experienced her thoughtfulness, her consideration, and her warmth, and know that there is always a big smile on her face for her loved ones.For us older folks, this day brings back special memories to our hearts of our own wedding days and all the joys we experienced.The younger children must be excited with the expectation of their own special time to come sometime in the future.All your family and friends here hope that today is the beginning of a wonderful lifelong partnership with the lucky groom.We sincerely wish that your love will grow stronger as time goes by and your family will grow too.On this very special day, we want to wish you and your husband all the happiness in the world.Friends and relatives: Please rise together with me in offering our sincere wishes that the coming years will be filled with peace, joy, happiness, and love.Drink a toast to the bride.Language Points 1 Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1.(Para.1)It’s with great pleasure that we have come together today to take part in this joyous occasion with this couple whom we love and respect so much.Analysis: The pattern It’s with great pleasure that...is often used to begin a speech on a formal occasion to express one’s happy feelings.Grammatically, this is an emphatic structure, emphasizing with great pleasure in this case.Translation: 在这喜庆的时刻，我们聚集在一起参加今天的婚礼，共同为我们钟爱和敬重的新人祝福。

Example: It’s with great pleasure that I have the chance to attend this Christmas party.2.(Para.1)This day, so special and perfect, with warm sunshine, with so many loving friends, will long be remembered by everyone for its magic.Analysis: In this sentence, so special and perfect is used as a non-restrictive post-modifier of this day, somewhat similar to a which-clause.(= This day, which is so special and perfect...)Translation: 今天是这么的特别和完美，有温暖的阳光，有这么多的亲朋好友，其迷人的魅力必将被我们大家永记心中。Example: The man, silent, stood behind her.The old lady, nervous, opened the letter.3.(Para.2)But I think the radiance, the grace, the beauty of the bride, Jennifer，makes this special day even more remarkable.Analysis: In this sentence, makes takes a complex object — this special day

(object)even more remarkable(complement).Translation: 不过我觉得新娘詹妮弗的光彩、高雅和美丽使今天这个特殊的日子 更不寻常。

Example: We should do our part to make the world even better.4.(Para.4)For us older folks, this day brings back special memories to our hearts of our own wedding days and all the joys we experienced.Analysis: Bring back memories to one’s heart of something should be understood as bring back memories of something to one’s hearts, meaning causing somebody to remember something.Translation: 对我们这些年长的人来说，今天又唤起了我们对自己婚礼的特殊怀念和我们所体验过的所有欢乐。

Example: The pictures brought back memories to my heart of my happy childhood in London.5.(Para.5)On this very special day, we want to wish you and your husband all the happiness.Analysis: The phrase wish somebody something is often used to express one’s good wishes.Translation: 在今天这个特殊的日子里，我们祝愿你和你的丈夫一生幸福。Example: They wished each other good luck before the exam.6.(Para.7)Drink a toast to the bride.Analysis: Drink a toast to somebody or something is a pattern usually used in speeches on some special occasions.It means Let’s drink the wine for the sake of somebody or something.Translation: 为新娘干杯。

Example: They drank a toast to the young hero and wished him good luck.2 Important Words 1.occasion

Sentence Writing

Word Order in a Subordinate Clause 从句的顺序

在写英语复合句时，除了需要注意照应主句与从句的时态、人称、连接词语 等等之外，还应特别致意从句部分的语序。

英语从句经常用疑问词引导，如what, who等，但与疑问词引导的简单问句不同。从句不使用疑问句语序，而使用陈述句语序，即按主语在前、谓语在后的顺序排列。还应注意，因为从句不使用疑问倒装结构，所以一般现在时和一般过去时不再用do, does, did等助动词帮助构成从句结构。

1．常用来引导从句的疑问词有what, when ,where, who, whether, how等，这些疑问词一般仍保留原有的疑问含义。

She wanted to know when my brother had visited Paris.她想知道我哥哥什么时候游览过巴黎。

Could you please tell me where we are going.你能告诉我我们到哪里去吗？

How he plays the trick is a secret.他怎么变这个戏法是个秘密。

2.Whether可以引导主语从句，if 不能引导主语从句，但是两者都能引导宾语从 句。引导宾语从句时，两者都表示“是否”的意思，只是if 后面不能加or not。1）主语从句

Whether he will accept the job is difficult to say.（对）

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

Unit 11 TEXT 1 CULTIVATING A HOBBY Winston Churchill

Objectives: to take notes as completely as possible in class.to present their interpretations of each paragraph.Section one Pre-reading questions:

(15 mins.)

1.What does ‘hobby’ mean?(refer to Lib.work)2.Do you have any hobbies? What are they? 3.Do your hobbies do you any good? In what ways? 4.Who is W.Churchill? What’s his hobby you know from what you have learned or from this text?(refer to Lib.work)

In-reading interpretation:

The teacher explains every sentence to the students while the latter try to take notes as quickly and completely as possible.After the text interpretation, the students are required to explain some sentences by their own.Para.1(15 mins.)

1.Worry is a spasm of emotion;the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go.spasm: an involuntary muscular contraction;here, a sudden violent spell(of);a sudden convulsive movement

Worry is a kind of feeling which catches you suddenly so that you can’t have any peace of mind.This feeling arises when you think about something without being able to discontinue thinking about it.Thus worry results.2.It is useless to argue with the mind in this condition.in this condition = when the mind catches hold of something and will not let it go

It is of no use trying to stop the troubled mind / the worry when it catches hold of something and will not let it go.i.e., when worry comes.3.The stronger the will, the more futile the task.(LW6-1)

The stronger your will(to argue with the mind, or to stop the worry)is, the more ineffective/unsuccessful/useless it will be for you to achieve this task of stopping the worry.The more you attempt to shake off your worry, the harder it will be for you to get rid of it / have it off your mind.Then what can we do to stop the worry? 4.One can gently insinuate something else into its convulsive grasp.insinuate = introduce indirectly and subtly

convulsive grasp = the worry

The only way is to have something else in mind so that it will not be grasped by worry / so as to replace the worry.What does ‘something else’ imply?

Something else implies the hobby.5.And if this something else is rightly chosen, if it is really attended by the illumination of another field of interest, gradually, and often quite swiftly, the old undue grip relaxes and the process of recuperation and repair begins.attend = accompanied(comp.3-2)

illumination = enlightenment, edification

another field of interest = hobby

the old undue grip = worry

recuperation and repair = not becoming worried any longer

If you choose the right thing to conquer your mind, if you have another field of interest to enlighten you, your worry, gradually or swiftly, will be relieved./ you will be released from the worry.6.This para.is about worry, which is repeatedly talked about.Instead of mentioning ‘worry’ again and again whenever it is talked about, Churchill uses some other phrases to refer to this annoying state of mind so as to avoid the monotony of expressions.Identify these phrases in the 1st paragraph.(comp.3-1)

a spasm of emotion, its convulsive grasp, the old undue grip

Para.2

(10 mins.)

1.The cultivation of a hobby and new forms of interest is therefore a policy of first importance to a public man.It is the most important for a public man to cultivate a hobby, because he is likely to have more worries in his work concerned with interrelationships with various kinds of people.2.But this is not a business that can be undertaken in a day or swiftly improvised by a mere command of the will.The growth of alternative mental interests is a long process.improvise = make or do without preparation, practice, sufficient material, etc.But a hobby cannot be cultivated and developed so quickly as you expect in your business.No matter how strong your will is, hobby cultivation has to undergo a long process.3.The seeds must be carefully chosen;they must fall on good ground;they must be sedulously tended, if the vivifying fruits are to be at hand when needed.(comp.3-3)This is a metaphor to describe the cultivation of a hobby.Explain it.The author compares ‘hobby’ to ‘seed’, ‘fitness(of a hobby)to an individual’ to ‘good ground’, and ‘the effect(in lessening one’s worry)’ to ‘fruit’ so that the reader can have something concrete to look at.This is certainly a more effective way to explain an idea, esp.an abstract or complex idea.(Analysis)

sedulously = diligently, carefully, assiduously

vivifying fruits = results that give one relaxation / refreshment

The cultivation of a hobby is compared to that of a plant.First of all, the right hobby(the seed of a plant)must be carefully chosen for a person(good ground);then the process of cultivating a hobby, like that of growing a plant, requires care and effort.Only in this way can one reap in due time the fruit of one’s laborfor them a new pleasure, a new excitement is only an additional satiation.(LW6-4)

command = have within reach, be master of, possess

gratify = give pleasure or satisfaction to, indulge

caprice = sudden wish to have, or do sth., whim

satiation = complete satisfaction, wearying oneself with too much

Since those very wealthy people can afford to get access to almost anything they may think of(those people can get whatever they want)and to turn the most fanciful ideas into reality(to turn whatever they dream or desire into reality), there is nothing in this world that can interest or excite them any more.To them, a new pleasure, a new excitement may very often make them even more bored about life.They are the unfortunate people.(comp.3-5)Why does Churchill classify as unfortunate those people who can command everything they want, gratify every caprice and lay their hands on almost every object of desire? Do you think Churchill’s attitude towards those people is really one of sympathy?

These people are simply hopeless;nothing works to relieve them of their boredom.Churchill does not really feel sympathetic towards them.Note the phrase ‘avenging boredom’.He seems to think that this is what they deserve.2.In vain they rush frantically round from place to place, trying to escape from avenging boredom by mere clatter and motion.frantically = widely excited(with joy, anxiety, pain, etc.)狂乱地

avenging boredom =(note 3)boredom that gives(them)no peace or that inflicts suffering(upon them)

clatter and motion =(note 4)This refers to the frantic rush from place to place of those who can command all they want.These kind of people rush frantically here and there(which implies, do this and that as their hobbies), talk this and that, intending to escape from the boredom they are deeply involved in, but their effort is in vain.3.For them discipline in one form or another is the most hopeful path.How do you understand ‘discipline’ here?(comp.3-6)

Regularity, a more regularized way of life

This sentence is a suggestion for this kind of people: to lead a regularized way of life.Only in this way can they escape from the boredom.Para.5

(15 mins.)1.It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure;and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one.Here another classification of human beings is made: 1)those who take work and pleasure as two distinguished things, 2)those who combine work and pleasure together, getting pleasure from the work.2.Of these the former are the majority.They have their compensations.The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms.compensation = sth to make up for, here referring to the following sentence.sustenance =(flourishing quality of)food and drink 营养, 食物

Their long-hour work brings them bread, or they have to earn their living by working hard.After work, they relax themselves and enjoy themselves in a simple way.(comp.3-7)Can you suggest one or two of the simplest and most modest forms of pleasure?

Jogging, taking a walk, listening to music on the radio, watching TV, gardening 3.But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class.In what sense are the second class of people, i.e., those whose work and pleasure are one, ‘Fortune’s favored children’?(comp.3-8)or, why does the author call the 2nd class ‘fortune’s favored children’?

There is never a clash between work and pleasure.They are always happy to work.They are just like children who take everything as pleasure.4.Their life is a natural harmony.For them the working hours are never long enough.Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.grudged = accepted with great reluctance(comp.3-9)

This class of people enjoy their work, and take it as a kind of pleasure.They enjoy every working day so much that they regard the weekends and the public holidays as the interruptions of their delightful work.They are quite reluctant to take any holidays.5.Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential.An alternative outlook, a change of atmosphere, a diversion of effort all refer to ‘hobby’.So it is of the first importance / of the great necessity for both of the classes to cultivate a hobby.Everyone should have a hobby.6.Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.(comp.3-10)What does the word ‘it’ refer to?

their work

(comp.3-11)the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds refers to the notion of ‘hobby’.(LW6-5)In fact,(it is probably those whose work provides them with their enjoyment who are most in need of periodic distractions from it.i.e.,)the second class of people are most in need of cultivating a hobby.Homework assignment:

Read your own notes and consult others’ to make it complete in order to understand the text fully/thoroughly.Mark where you find difficult and raise your questions in the next class.Read O & D and try to answer the question.Section two 1.Pose your problems for discussion(20 mins.)2.Comp.1: the purpose of the writing(B)-to bring home to the reader the importance of cultivating a rightly chosen hobby.(5 mins.)3.Comp.2: True or false

(5 mins.)4.O & D: What Churchill argues for in this passage is obviously the significance of a good hobby for rational, industrious human beings.But the 1st para.is devoted to a definition of ‘worry’, and a large portion of the rest of the text to the classifications of human beings.How are they relevant to his argument?

(10 mins.)

Churchill’s concern here is the role hobbies play in relaxing the mind of rational, industrious, useful human beings.To explain how a hobby works, he must first of all explain what worry really is.But Churchill is not of the opinion that any given hobby can produce this soothing effect under all circumstances.To make this clear, he has to make the first classification.He then turns to classifying the majority of human beings into two further categories.The purpose of doing this is to emphasize the point that hobby is necessary for all including those who think they do not need one as a diversion from work;as a matter of fact, they are the ones for whom the cultivation of a hobby is even more necessary.4.Interaction activity:(LW7)Talk about how a hobby can sometimes help to release your worry.a.Brainstorming in the groups(10 mins.)

b.Air the opinions in class(15 mins.)
