Unit 1 Section A Love without Limitations
Part One: Objectives
1.To understand the true meaning of ‘love’ and talk about it.2.To read with the skill ‘problem + response + evaluation’.3.To write a composition with the structure ‘problem + response + evaluation’.4.To learn how to scan a passage.Part Two: Warming up 1.What’s your definition of love without limitations?
1)It is a dynamic and powerful energy that …;
2)It is based on an attitude of complete acceptance, which means …;
3)It is usually available in times of ….In the aftermath of the WenChuan earthquake, for example, there was a swell of unlimited love within the Chinese people for the victims.In no time, such love streamed with ever-greater energy into every corner of China, thus leaving the victims with more courage in the combat against the catastrophe.Such love was, if anything, an endless flow of warmth that not only excited every Chinese but shook the world as well.1)It is a dynamic and powerful energy that can spring from the bottom of every human heart and get the world through any of unusual misfortunes.2)It is based on an attitude of complete acceptance, which means you feel as happy and concerned with others as with yourself.3)It is usually available in times of adversity and typical of steep gain in potential energy.2.What kind of person is apt to cherish such love?
It is often remarked that love is born in times of suffering and misery but dead in periods of ease and comfort.So for those who have a great start in life or enjoy a wealth of love and care from their family, life always goes right along, leaving them with nothing to attend to with heart and soul.But for those who suffer one misfortune after another from childhood, life does not stand any chance to blossom without care and love from others, leaving them with much to feel indebted to.Clearly, it is natural for the second kind of person to cherish unlimited love and know what it matters to those in need because that is the case with their life.1)Those who are born with a wealth of love and care from their families, …?
2)Those who suffer a lot of misfortune from childhood, …? 3.What did the speaker’s brother give first priority to?
My brother does not sweat the life he could never have.Instead he focuses on what he can do—to love.For many, if not all of us these days, it is a constant struggle to get somewhere in life.There is just so much to learn, so much is changing every day, that I hardly have time to breathe, let alone love and care about the people around me.My brother though, always makes it his first priority.He never got the chance to go to a regular school or compete for a decent job;unfortunately, he was born with some brain damage making learning a challenge.He never had trouble learning how to love, though.And he knows how to teach others to love as well.New Horizon College English Book Ⅲ
陈超
It is because he often suffered blows from life that he cherished the true love from society and then knew what it meant to love and commit to the well-being of those in trouble.For people like him, therefore, there’s every reason to make love their first priority in life, especially when others are wanting in comfort.As far as we learn from the short passage, lack of oxygen during birth left the speaker’s brother with some brain damage.That permanent disability deprived him of the chance to go to a regular school.His life must have been a mixture of misfortune from life and practical love from people around.My next question is as follows:
1)His misfortune caused by his brain damage?
2)His desire for care from his family members and society around?
3)His love for those who have given him timely help as well as for people in need? 4.What would her brother do in face of great tragedies?
The September 11th terrorist attacks are normally ranked as a national tragedy to the United States.In the wake of the attacks, so great was their impact on Americans that the whole nation, for a long time, was too emotionally exhausted to reckon with the sheer terror as well as with the loss of so many beloved lives.In times of such widespread grief, however, her brother would 1)know well that others were in great need of timely comfort and care, because his life had been blessed with love and care from society;2)make it his first priority to devote his unconditional love to those in need;and 3)believe that boundless love would make a great difference to the way the victims of the disaster felt about their grief.As can be seen from the foregoing, those living in adversity know better the worth of love from others, and in return, they also have a clear idea about what to do when people around are in trouble.My next question is as follows: In the wake of 911, her brother would:
1)Know well from his own experience what others were in great need of, because …?
2)Make it his first priority to …?
3)Believe that boundless love would … ? 5.Look at the following pictures which share the same theme.What is it?
Rose;chocolate;lovers;families 6.Famous Sayings about Love
1)He that has no children knows not what love is.2)We never know the love of the parents until we become parents ourselves.3)Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.4)From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other.Part Three: Related Information 1.September 11th disaster:
It is the result of a series of coordinated suicide attacks by terrorists upon the United States.On the morning of September 11th, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners.The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners into the World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward and extensive damage to nearby buildings.The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon.The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania after passengers and New Horizon College English Book Ⅲ

members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft attempted to retake control of their plane.Excluding the 19 hijackers, 2,974 people died as an immediate result of the attacks with another 24 missing and presumed dead.The overwhelming majority of casualties were civilians, including citizens from over 90 different countries.2.Why is calamity liable to give birth to love without limitations?
Beilby Porteus, Bishop of London, once remarked, ‘Calamity is the perfect glass wherein we truly see and know ourselves.’ So it is, because, in time of peace, most of us are too preoccupied with aspirations for fame and wealth to examine ourselves.As a gradual result, Americans born in the 1970s are often referred to as megeneration, or soulless slaves to consumerism who care little about bigger issues of politics, social justice or poverty.Bertran Rusell, a famous British philosopher, once concluded from his many years of observation in China that the Chinese nation was wanting in passion for humanity.For the sense of gratitude to come back into us, therefore, there must come a time when we have to reflect on what has made all of our well-being possible.So the best point of time is bound up with the outbreak of a calamity, which can serve as a mirror for us to realize that what we are often concerned with means nothing without the existence of the nation as a whole.That is why there was an outpouring of patriotism among Americans in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, whereas there was an explosion of boundless love within the Chinese people in response to the rare earthquake in WenChuan.3.How to integrate such unlimited love into our daily life?
It is no easy job to work such love well into our daily routine for good, since, as is taken for granted, where there is love there is always expectation.But for the very virtue to last in our life, the first and foremost thing to do is never fail to set aside the time to introspect what social factors contribute to our well-being and comfort, thus building up our awareness of gratitude to our society.Just as Cicero once put it, a thankful heart is not only the great virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues as well.Also important is our clear identification of what we can do to add to our social unity, harmony and better-being, especially if we are in better positions to do so.Once the foregoing is achieved, what matters most to us next is how to put our duties into effect.If we can reconcile our action with our gratitude, the returns from that will be in greater measure.If we exercise kindness in our social contact, for example, we will reap more of smile from society.If we exert true concern for those around, we are sure to harvest more help from them.And if we render unlimited love to the world, we are more than likely to find such love knows no bounds.Part Four: Text Understanding
I.Idea Catching The Birth of the Text

II.Structure Analysis 1.What is the text mainly about?
With her lifetime experience, the author tells us there have never been any limitations to love whatever life may present.2.How is the text organized?
The author tackled the topic by organizing it into three patterns of ‘problem-response-evaluation’，i.e.the text begins with the problem concerned;then people involved respond to it with diverse actions;and the text ends up with evaluations of people’s responses.Pattern I Main idea: Problem: Lack of oxygen at birth left my brother with brain damage.Response: My family offered help and care to him in diverse ways.Evaluation: My father and Jimmy enjoyed each other’s company.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Para.3)
General Statement: My father and Jimmy were inseparable.Specific Details: They ate and worked together …, At night they played games …whistled the same tune.Pattern II Main idea: Problem: The death of my parents turned Jimmy into a wreck.Response: I helped Jimmy adjust to a life without parents.Evaluation: My care for him enabled his life to thrive and enriched my life
as well.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Para.4)General Statement: After my father’s death, Jimmy was a wreck.Specific Details: Jimmy was in disbelief… he grasped that the world he’d known was gone.Pattern III Main idea: Problem: The Sept.11th disaster drained Americans of every emotion.Response: I tried to make Jimmy happy at his birth-day party but he
reacted to my effort actively.Evaluation: Instead of cheering him, we were encouraged by his love.W.T.: Deduction:(Refer to Paras.8, 9, 10, 11)General Statement: Jimmy’s love hit home after the Sept.11th disaster.Specific Details: Detailed narrative of holding a birthday party for Jimmy.Conclusion Main idea: The constant love and support from our friends and family could get us through whatever life might present.There had never been any limitations to what Jimmy’s love could accomplish.W.T.: Induction:(Para.12)

The population explosion of urban areas
(Problem)The population explosion of urban areas has given rise to a lot of problems such as sprawling slums and regular failures of electric and water services because of the excessive demands.In addition, the urban areas suffer extensive unemployment and strained educational and recreational facilities.The population explosion of urban areas must be corrected.(Response)One of the ways to correct the population explosion of urban areas is to improve the facilities in rural areas.Adequate parking facilities, attractive and well-stocked department and food stores, drug stores, gift shops and bakeries should be built in rural areas to convince more people living there to stay where they are.The government should offer lower tax rates and modest homes on convenient terms to those who choose to live in the rural areas.(Evaluation)If rural areas were built to have all the facilities that urban areas do, the population explosion in urban areas can be corrected.Writing Practice Directions: Write a composition of no less than 120 words with a problem-response-evaluation structure on the following topic.You can follow the detailed outline given as follows.Topic: The fight against air pollution Problem: The region has been seriously polluted by harmful smog.Response: close down/modernize some factories

The fight against air pollution
(Problem)The region has been seriously polluted by harmful smog, which proves to be the cause of many illnesses and for the climbing death rate.As a result, people have started to move out of the area.(Response)In response to the problem, the local government has decided to fight against air pollution.It has closed down several factories, which were considered to be the major cause of the pollution.Many power plants have been modernized to give off less pollution and also moved further away from people’s homes so as to decrease the damage.At the same time, the local government has decided to plant trees in and around the region because trees can absorb some of the pollution.(Evaluation)People welcome all the measures taken by the government.Consequently, more and more people have begun to move back to the region to take part in this battle for a clean environment.Writing Assignment
Directions: Write a composition of no less than 120 words with a problem-response-evaluation structure on the following topic.Topic:
Love Without Bounds Problem: The outbreak of a devastating earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan Response: the timely response of the Chinese Communists to it
the dash of PLA men to the rescue of the victims there
the reactions of every Chinese citizen to the disaster Evaluation: There are no bounds to what the love of the Chinese nation could accomplish.Sample Composition
Love Without Bounds
At 2:28 p.m., May 12th, 2008, a severe earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan, an area of Sichuan, leaving the place with ruins everywhere.As an immediate result of that, around 69,000 people died, with another 18,000 missing, over 370,000 injured, and 5,000,000 survivors homeless.Accompanying the arrival of disaster was a sheer paralysis of electricity, water works, telecommunications and transportation.Usually accessible to tourism for its scenic beauty, the area was now completely secluded from the outside world.(Problem)
Faced with such a devastating disaster, the Chinese Communists held China together with their role models, and called upon the whole dropped relief supplies for the victims.Besides, medical workers from different parts of the country and the world flocked to the epicenter in good time to offer first aid to the injured and the sick.Unable to go there in person, most of us were in charge of rear services, for which some made tents, medicine, food, etc.day and night, and every one of us vied with one another to donate money and blood.In fact, effecting the rescue of the victims who remain as firm and appreciate our efforts as much as those in Sichuan do has refined our love more than anything else ever could have.(Response)
With the disaster relief drive being in full swing and with the live reports on it dominating the headlines of all mass media, we were reminded that sweeping across the entire China was an ever-greater flow of love that could get our nation through whatever life could present.There would be no bounds to what such love could accomplish.(Evaluation)

Unit 6 Section A How to Prepare for Earthquake
I.Background information 1.The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake
At 5:13 on the morning of April 18th, 1906, the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake.A large part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt.The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250, 000.About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.Another earthquake shocked San Francisco on October 17th, 1989.It was the second strongest earthquake and about one hundred people were killed.It happened in the evening as people were traveling home.A wide and busy road fell onto the below.A lot of people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the center of town but about 50 kilometers away.In one part of the town many buildings were destroyed.These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough.There were a lot of fires all over the city.The electricity was cut off for several days too.Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of different plates.At San Francisco the Pacific plate meets the North American plate.When suddenly these two plates jump, an earthquake is felt.When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5-6 meters to the north.We cannot stop earthquake, but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy a whole city.First, it is not a good idea to build houses along the lines where two of the earth’s plates join together.Second, if you think there may be an earthquake, it is better to build houses on rock not on sand.Third, you must make the houses as strong as possible.Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake, but strong ones may stay up.Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco.They call it “The Big One”.However, people today are still building more houses.The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906.This means that if there is another big earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.2.The 1976 Tangshan Earthquake
1)Which city earns the name “Brave City of China”?
Tangshan 2)The deadliest earthquake of the 20th century, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit the sleeping city of Tangshan at 3:42 a.m.on July 28, 1976.3)Which of the following gave some advance warnings of an impending earthquake?
A.Well water rose and fell with cracking or gas.B.Chickens refused to eat and ran around chirping.C.Mice and yellow weasels ran around to hide.D.A goldfish jumped wildly in its bowl.E.Strange lights(fireballs)as well as loud sounds were seen the night preceding the earthquake.4)The Tangshan earthquake lasted approximately 14-16 seconds.After the earthquake hit, 242419 people were dead or dying;164581 people severely injured.In 7218 households, all members of the family were killed by the earthquake.5)Over two million people died in the earthquake in the 20th century.About 0.6 billion people live in the strong earthquake zone throughout the world.6)93 percent of the residential buildings and 78 percent of the industrial buildings were completely destroyed.3.What’s your insight into earthquakes?
Because they have no warning and allow people no time to react to them in an effective way.As described in the video, one second you live in this big beautiful city and ten seconds later it is flat.So on any scale of instant destructivity, few natural disasters can come close to earthquakes.At 11:43 A.M.on June 7, 1692, for example, an earthquake struck Port Royal, Jamaica.In the space of less than fifty seconds, that thriving port sank into the Caribbean.An eyewitness described the scene.“ In many places the earth cracked, opened and shut, with a motion quick and fast.People were swallowed up;in others they were caught by the middle, and pressed to death.”
In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was believed in the Western world that because earthquakes normally occurred in non-Christian countries, they were signs of God’s anger with the inhabitants of these areas.In fact, every day the earth is shaken by hundreds of small earthquakes, most going unnoticed.They usually occur along the boundaries of thin plates that cover the earth like egg shells.Driven by the heat deep within the earth’s core, plates grind against each other along lines called faults.When plates find their motions blocked, stress builds up.Finally the fault gives way.Released energy races through the earth in a form of seismic waves(震波)and a quake occurs.4.How much do you know about other natural disasters?
In addition to the earthquake, the human society as a whole is also cursed with a long list of other natural disasters, among which are flood, mud-rock flow(泥石流), landslide(山体滑坡), typhoon, hurricane(飓风), tornado(龙卷风), snowstorm(暴风雪), hailstorm(冰雹), sand storm(沙尘暴), drought(干旱), plague of locusts(蝗灾), the spread of desert, the spread of infectious diseases such as SARS(非典), and volcanic eruptions(火山喷发), the most famous example of which is the Great Pompeii, quickly covered with volcanic ashes.The contributors to these natural disasters are complex and varied.Some disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions result from the movement of plates along the weaknesses in the Earth’s crust.Many others, like flood, sand storm, and the spread of desert, stem from human activities.Man’s mindless enthusiasm for unrestrained economic growth has led to a sharp decline of forestry, a rapid desertification of farming land, an irreparable depletion of ozone layer, a global worsening of greenhouse effect, and a swift extinction of species, all of which in turn bring about more disasters.II.Structure Analysis 1.How can we know about warning signs of earthquakes?

Education concerning how to survive an earthquake.1.What is the text mainly about?
The essay is centered around the main theme — How to predict, prevent, and prepare for earthquakes.2.How is the text organized?
The writer centers his writing on three aspects of the topic—earthquake prediction, earthquake prevention, and earthquake preparation.In the end, he concludes his writing with more emphasis placed on people’s preparation for earthquakes.So the text can fall structurally into four parts.Part I Prediction: People predicted a quake by wiring the earth and sea to detect movements, watch-ing animals and plants for warning signs;and seeing if the amount of radon(Rn)in the water under the surface of the Earth waxes before an earthquake.Devices for developing it: Exemplification:(Para.1)In Japan, scientists have wired the Earth and sea„ The Chinese have traditionally watched animals and plants for„ For example, „ Before the Hansin earthquake in Japan, „
Part II Prevention: To prevent buildings from threatening our lives, new structures need to be built with an I-joint steel, with columns and horizontal beams of equal strength, and with light roofs;and pillars for highway bridges need to be enclosed in steel.Devices for developing it: Deduction:(Para.2)General Statement: People would also like to„ prevent„ Details: 1)Most people are killed by„ 2)„ with steel joint;3)„ of equal strength 4)„ enclosed in steel.Part III Preparation: To prepare for a great quake, you need to keep survival supplies at home and at work;have proper tools ready at hand;make sure what to do in case of a quake;and plan for family re-unity.Devices for developing it: Deduction:(Paras.4-6)General statement: People „ need to prepare themselves.Details: 1)„ have supplies of water and food„;2)Have a fire extinguisher handy;3)Every family needs to have earthquake emergency plans.Part IV Conclusion: Even if prediction becomes possible, people still have to do their best to prevent disasters by improving building structures and by being personally prepared.Devices for developing it: Induction:(Para.7)Known facts: 1)„ scientists learn much about how quakes work;2)It will be possible to predict quakes with accuracy;3)But people still have to prevent quakes.Conclusion: Education concerning „ should be a major emphasis for all „ projects.III.New words and expressions 1.to watch sth.for„ / to watch for
