Questions and Answers1. What is a fair-weather friend?(One who is happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives.)2. Do you know anything about the singers?(Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight.Dionne WarwickDionne Warwick was a pop and R&B (Rhythm and Blues, 节奏蓝调音乐) music star of the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s she worked jointly with Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder on the Grammy-winning single That’s What Friends Are For, a fundraiser for AIDS victims. Elton JohnElton John (1947~), an English rock composer, singer and pianist, is one of rock music’s durable (持久的) performers. He played the piano by ear from age four, and studied at the Royal Academy of Music at 11. The top pop star of the 1970s, his performance was featured by wild eyeglasses and outlandish (奇异的) costumes on the stage. Despite health problems in 1993 he continues to perform live across the world, mostly on the softer side these days.His latest success includes the best-selling sound track for The Lion King (1994), a Disney film. And the recording of Candle in the Wind 97, sung at the funeral of Princess Diana, became the largest-selling single in history within a month of its release (发行). He was knighted (授予爵士称号) in 1998.)3. According to the song, what are friends for?(For both good times and bad times.)4. How can friend and friendship be defined?(Friend Definition A:A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff (谷壳)and grain together, knowing that gentle hands will take and sift (筛,过滤) them, keep what is worth keeping, and with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.— George Eliot (1819~1880), English novelist Friend Definition B:A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud.— Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803~1882),American poet and philosopher Friend Definition C:A true friend is one who overlooks your failures and tolerates your successes.— Doug Larson (1902~1981),English middle-distance runner Friendship Definition A:True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.— Charles Caleb Colton (1780~1832),English author and clergyman Friendship Definition B:Friendship is a ship big enough to carry two in fair weather, but only one in foul (天气恶劣的).— Ambrose Bierce (1842~1914),American author and journalist,from The Devil’s Dictionary Friendship Definition C:Friendship is a treasure that always helps us overcome any kind of difficulty. Friendship is a comfort which always understands worries and emotions. Friendship is a blessing because it teaches the way to live.— Unknown) 5. Can you give some examples of great friendship?(Marx and EngelsMarx valued Engels’ friendship so highly that he once said he loved and admired his friend very much. Engels had been aiding Marx who suffered greatly from bitter poverty. Were it not for the help Marx obtained from Engels, Marx would hardly have been able to overcome poverty and he surely would not have left behind him a monument.Qu Qiubai and Lu XunQu Qiubai was one of CPC’s pri ncipal leaders in the early period. Under the persecution (迫害)of Wang Ming, one of the CPC’s early leaders, Qu was dismissed from his important posts in the CPC Central Committee. But he soon took an active part in the struggles launched by theleft-wing cultural front, together with Lu Xun, in Shanghai. During the two years of joint work , they became true friends.)Before Reading >> Background InformationHalloweenHalloween is celebrated annually. It is on the night of 31 October, when people once believed that ghosts could be seen. Now, in Britain and America, it is a time when children have parties, dress up as witches, make lanterns out of pumpkins from which the inside has been remo ved, and play “trick or treat”.“Trick or treat” is a traditional activity at Halloween. Children dress in costumes and visit houses. At each house they say “Trick or treat”. This means that they will play a “trick”, or joke, on the people in the house unless they are given a “treat”, e.g. sweets or money. Most people prefer to give treats rather than having tricks played on them.Before Reading >> Word WebThe stories in this unit are about friendship.

Unit 1 Writing For MyselfSuddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself. I want to relieve the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I’d learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it and failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this thing for myself.Unit 2 All The Cabbie Had Was A Letter “This isn’t family,”he replied. “Although,” he went on, “come to think of it, it might just as well have been family. Old Ed was my old friend. In fact, we used to call each other‘Old friend’—when we’d meet, that is. I’m not much of a hand at writing.”“I don’t think any of us keep up our correspondence too well,” I said. “I know I don’t. But I take it he’s someone you’ve known quite a while?”“ All my life, practically. We were kids together, so we go way back.”“Went to school together?”“All the way through high school. We were in the same class, in fact, through both grade and high school.”“There are not too many people who have had such a long friendship,” I said.Unit 3 Public Attitude Toward Science Anyway, even if one wanted to, one couldn’t put the clock back to an earlier age. Knowledge and technique can’t just be forgotten. Nor can one prevent further advances in the future. Even if all government money for research were cut off (and present government is doing its best), the force of competition would still bring about advance in technology. Moreover, one cannot stop inquiring minds from thinking about basic science, whether or not they are paid for it. The only way to prevent further developments would be a global state that suppressed anything new, and human initiative and inventiveness are such that wouldn’t succeed. All it would doing is slow down the rate of change.Unit 4 Tony Trivisonno's American DreamAfter he passed away ,I thought more and more about Tony’s career .He grew in stature in my mind .In the end ,I think he stood as tall ,and as proud ,as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles :vision ,determination ,self-contr ol ,optimism ,selfrespectand ,above all ,integrity .Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder .He began in the basement .Tony’s affairs were tiny ;the greatest industrialists’affairs were giant .But ,after all ,the balance sheets were exactly the same .The only difference was where you put the decimal point.Unit 5 The Company ManAt the funeral, the sixty-year-old company president told the forty-eight-year-old window that the fifty-one-year-old deceased had meant much to the company and would be missed and would hard to replace. The window didn’t look him in the eye. She was afraid he would read her bitterness and ,after all ,she would need him to straighten out the finances---the stock options and all that.Phil was overweight and nervous and worked too hard. If he wasn’t at the office ,he was worried about it. Phile was a Type A ,a heart-attack natural. You could have picked him out in a minute from a lineup.。
