What are the humanities?The humanities are a group of academic disciplines that study the human condition, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative. Therefore, they are distinguished from the approaches of natural sciences. The humanities, called social sciences, include history, anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, law, linguistics, etc.2. Why are the humanities important?Through exploration of the humanities, students learn how to think creativelyand critically, to reason, and to ask questions. Because these skills allow students to gain new insights into everything from poetry and paintings to business models and politics, humanistic subjects have been at the heart of a liberal arts education. Today, humanistic knowledge continues to provide the ideal foundation for exploring and understanding the human experience.Step Two Text Study 80 minutesI.Interactive reading of the text1.

The valley is surrounded by mountains that rise up to 6,500 feet (1,980 m) above the valley floor. Named after the nearby Great Salt Lak—e in fact, the original name was “GreaStalt Lake City ”—the city i s eparated from the lake 's shore bymarshes and mud flats. Resiednts are known as “Salt Lakers ”. Founded in 1847 by a group of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) led by Brigham Young, Salt Lake City isamong the region's oldest cities and is the location of the headquartersof The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Mining and railroads initially brought economic growth, and the city became known as the “Crossroads of the West ”. Thecity has developed a strong tourism industry and was host to the 2002 Winter Olympics.2.Carl Lewis, the greatest and most famous athlete of the last century, won 9 Olympic gold medals in four different events (100m, 200m, long jump and 4 x 100m relay). Carl Lewis was born on 1st July 1961 in Birmingham, Alabama. Since his first years of life he could breathe the soft and clean air of sport: His father used to train athletes at universities and his mother was 6th at 80m hurdles in the Pan-American games of 1951. He saw the Olympic Games of 1968 on TV and admired Bob Beamon. He was so impressed that after Beamon 's jump of 8.90m, hewent out with a friend to take the length of a limousine in order to realize how farBob flied! But for the moment, Carl was so thin that the doctor suggested making him do sports. His education, beyond studies, embraced a lot of fields. He learned to play musical instruments, to dance, to sing and applied himself to a large variety of sports: football, soccer, diving and, obviously, track and field.Amazingly, his father was a friend of Jesse Owens and so Carl grew up under the legend of this man, who won four gold medals in the Olympic Games of Berlin in 1936. Carl began with long jump and after a competition, at the age of 10, he was awarded by Owens himself. At the age of 13 he jumped 5.51m and when he was 17, 7.85m. Trainers pointed him out as a young promise. In fact, in 1979 he was allowed to join the national team and to take part in the Pan-Americangames in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He placed third with 8.13m on his last jump. Meanwhile, he spent part of his time training for the 100m and in 1979 he ran this in 10.67 seconds.3.Ben Johnson was born in Falmouth, Jamaica on 30 December, 1961. He emigrated to Canada in 1976. Ben made his debut at a major international tournament in the 100m at the 1983 World Championships, where he was eliminated in the semi-finals. The following year, Ben Johnson reached the final of the 100m at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, finishing third behind Carl Lewis. With the Can adia n 4 lOOrtKrelay team, he won a sec ond bronze medal. At the 1987 World Championships, in Rome, Johnson gained instant world fame when he beat Lewis for the title, setting a new world record of 9.83 seconds as well. Johnson and Lewis were also the favorites for the 1988 Olympic title. In the final, Johnson beat Lewis, clocking a new world record of 9.79 seconds. A few days later, however, Johnson's urine samples were found to contain steroids, and he was disqualified for doping.III.T ext Structure AnalysisThe passage is a first-narration about the writer's training experiences for Olympic Games with an ex-Soviet coach, through which the writer learned the Olympic standard for love. The whole passage can be roughly divided into four parts.Part One (Para. 1-4) The first two paragraphs are an introduction to the ex-Soviet coach, Mikolai. Nokolai Petrovich Anikin was not half as intimidating as the writer had imagined he would be, bit the writer was very nervous in his presence. Paragraphs 3 and 4 are aboutNikola'is high expectations: He encouraged the writer to get ready for 2OO2 Olympics in Salt Lake City. Although this would require many hard training sessions, Nikolai was sure that the writer would improve and that she could be ready.Part Two (Para. 5-19) This part deals with the Olympic standard of love as shown by Nokolai. Paragraphs 5 to 9 set up an Olympic standard for love: encouragement mingled with good humor, quiet gratitude, perceptivity, and sincerity. Paragraph 5 tells us that the writer could always count on being encouraged by Nokolai 's amusing stories and senseof humor. Paragraphs6 to 8 are about the supporting details as to show the writer was encouraged by Nokolai's amusing stories and sense of humor, paragraph 9 could be taken as a conclusion for the part of encouragement.Paragraohs 10 and 11 deal with another aspect of the Olympic sta ndard for love: Nokolai was in differe nt to her pain and urged her to go on skii ng. Paragraph 12 and 13 are about ano ther aspect of Nokolai. Nokolai was strict about training while with other small things he did not take much notice of the writer ' compla ints or outbursts. He saved his passi on for skii ng. Paragraphs 14 to 19 are about still ano ther aspect of Nokolai: persiste nee and patie nee. Whe n coach ing, he told the writer to practice countless times to achieve perfection. Nokolai ' patience and the writer' s hard work at last earned her a fou-pHiace nati onal ranking head ing into the pre-Olympic seas on, but she missed the cut for the 2002 Olympic.Part Three (Para. 20) This is a transitional paragraph. This is the time when the writer stopped her trainin g, revisited her coach Nokolai, thought of what happe ned in the past, and realized that she had gained a lot from her quiet, in dissoluble bond with her coach Nokolai. Part Four (Para. 21) This is the conclusion of the whole passage」t summarizes what Nokolai taught the writer. She came to un dersta nd the Olympic sta ndard for love: to have thecourage, heart, discipline to persist, and to have gratitude in advance for a century of life on earth. She should remind herself every day that there must be love, love, love despite the challe nges at hand.IV.S tructured WritingA General Statement Followed by DetailsA com mon way to express an idea is to have a gen eral stateme nt followed by some details. Here we can study an analysis of Paragraph5 to Paragraph 9 to show how the general statement countless training sessions full of pain and more than a few tears were accompanied by encouragement and amusing stories^ is followed by details.(Let' come to Page 39 and do Exercise XIII)V.Detailed Study of the TextWords & Phrases Study1.patvt. touch sb. or sth. lightly and repeatedly with a flat hanc轻扌白She patted a place next to her for me to sit down. 她用手拍了拍旁边的地方叫我坐下。
