Unit 1 Learning, Chinese-Style中国式的学习风格Howard Gardner 霍华德•加德纳1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。
然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。
2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it. When leaving the hotel, a guest was encouraged to turn in the key, either by handing it to an attendant or by dropping it through a slot into a box. Because the key slot was narrow, the key had to be positioned carefully to fit into it.我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。
Unit 6Active reading (1)梦想成真当夜幕降临悉尼时，雨也开始悄悄地从夜空中飘落。
几百盏灯把澳大利亚体育场照得灯火通明，场内的声音震耳欲聋。
走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸，但我的注意力还是很集中。
再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。
我心在剧烈地跳动，口干舌燥，肾上腺素猛增。
童年的梦想就要实现了，这种感觉真是太奇妙了：令人非常兴奋，又胆战心惊。
我知道，为了确保能梦想成真我必须强迫自己超越已知的极限。
我极力保持镇静，告诫自己不要紧张，要坚持按原计划做，按自己的节奏跑。
我知道那些俄罗斯姑娘起跑很快——这场比赛我落后俄罗斯运动员叶莲娜·普罗科霍洛娃不能超过十秒。
如果我做到这一点，冠军就是我的了。
我望着四百米跑道的起跑点，屏住了呼吸。
这些年来，在世锦赛、英联邦锦标赛以及欧洲锦标赛的八百米赛跑中我屡战屡败，饱受挫折。
现在，它再次横在我与奥运冠军头衔之间。
我的英国支持者在为我欢呼，声音特别大，就好像看台上只有他们是粉丝。
我听到他们喊我的名字，为我鼓劲加油，听到他们充满希望的呐喊。
宽阔美丽的体育场上到处飘扬着大不列颠联合王国的国旗，我感觉自己和观众融为了一体：我们有着同样的期盼，同样的梦想。
几个小时前，我的脚踝在跳远时受了伤，缠上了绷带，但是我忘掉伤痛，尽量把注意力集中在观众身上。
他们的叫喊声势浩大，使我精神振奋，我感到镇定自若。
我知道自己会全力以赴，拼尽全力跑完全程。
我感觉自己已经进入最佳状态。
我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。
跑完这两圈，过去两天以及28 年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。
这一跑真是生死攸关。
我不断地告诉自己：也就是跑两分钟，谁都能跑两分钟。
发令枪响了，比赛正式开始。
第一圈还好，我跟其他人跑得一样快，但我觉得比平时要累得多，比我预想的要累得多。
这次锦标赛赛前长达数周的艰苦训练以及这两天激烈的比赛所带来的疲劳在我的赛跑过程中显现出来了。

Then I added related words like actor and movie star , and verbs like rent and see . Here’s another idea ...Audio Track 2-6-4(Audio Track 2-6-2 + Audio Track 2-6-3)Audio Track 2-6-5/Audio Track 2-6-6Conversation 1Woman: Morning, Simon. Wow, you look tired.Man: Oh, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I had a weird dream. I was in a clas sroom at school, but I didn’t have any clothes on! No one looked at me, but I was really embarrassed. Conversation 2Woman: Jesse, Jesse! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare.Mala child: Oh, what a terrible dream! I dreamed I was on a dark street. Suddenly, there was a large dog behind me. It ran toward me, but I couldn’t move.Woman: Don’t worry, Jesse. It was only a dream. Go back to sleep.Conversation 3Man1: Morning Tim.Man2: Morning. Hey, I had an amazing dream last night. I was on a beautiful boat. The sun was warm and the ocean was really blue. I jumped into the water, and I began to swim with the fish. The thing is, I can’t swim! But in the dream, I could. It was pretty cool.Audio Track 2-6-7/Audio Track 2-6-8/Audio Track 2-6-9I had an amazing dream last night. At first, I was standing outside of a strange big house. The house was painted pink, a very unusual color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, both round and rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I remember thinking that there must be a big living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house.I was wondering whose house it was when I suddenly heard a voice saying: “welcome home.” Wow, so this dream house was mine!I went inside and walked into my living room. It was spacious. There were sofas, a table, a big-screen TV, and a stereo system. It was pretty cool. All of my best friends were there, too. But for some reason they didn’t speak, didn’t smile, and didn’t even move. And then suddenly they all disappeared. I was scared. This dream was turning into a nightmare.I then went to the kitchen. It was also spacious. There were all kinds of kitchen equipment such asa gas stove and oven. There were also many electric appliances, such as a refrigerator, a microwave oven, an electric mixer, and a food processor. I liked the food processor the most, those certainly make life much easier. There was also a dining table in the middle of the room. The whole family was sitting around the table, waiting for a meal to be served. The kids were hungry and started to cry. But the gas stove didn’t work and there was no electricity for the microwave oven or the food processor.I wanted to help so I looked in the fridge but it was empty. I started to despair, what more could I do? That’s when I suddenly woke up.Audio Track 2-6-10/Audio Track 2-6-11Scientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are five stages, or parts, of sleep. Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep. If there is a noise or a bright light, you wake up very easily. In Stage 2, your brain waves are very slow. In Stage 3 and Stage 4, you are in deep sleep. It’s very difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during these stages.Stage 5 is when you dream. Your eyes move a lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage ofsleep is very important for your memory. After Stage 5, you wake up a little, and then Stage 1 starts again. We go through the five stages of sleep four or five times every night, so we have many dreams in one night. How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep fifteen to sixteen hours every day. Children and teenagers need nine or ten hours of sleep, but older people only need six to eight hours. If you sleep for only four hours one night, you may just feel tired the next day. But many nights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’t get enough sleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important for learning. It’s one reason why students should go to bed early!Audio Track 2-6-12For centuries, people have asked: Why do we dream? What do our dreams mean? Today, science doesn’t have definite answers to these questions, but we do know some things about dreams. First, we all dream, often four to five times a night. Second, we don’t usually remember most of our dreams. And finally, when we dream, our brains are very active.Thousands of years ago, people began to study dreams. In many cultures, people believed dreams were messages from spirits or gods. Later, the ancient Greeks and Romans had a new idea: Dreams come from a person’s mind. Doctors studied dreams to help sick or worried people.Audio Track 2-6-13/Audio Track 2-6-14In the past, some cultures used dreams to predict the future. They thought dreams could help a person choose a husband or wife, guess a baby’s birthday, or start a business. In some places, this practice is still common.Today, scientists think dreams are about our thoughts and feelings. Our minds send us messages about our lives. Unfortunately, many messages are often strange or confusing. People wake up and think: What did that dream mean?So, how can you understand the messages in your dreams? Think about the events in the dream. What do they say about your life? For example, one common dream is about flying. Sometimes this dream means you feel free or want freedom. Other times it means you feel afraid. What do your dreams tell you about your life?Audio Track 2-6-15/t/ /d/ /id/watched studied waitedwished explained handedAudio Track 2-6-161. I liked the movie.2.

I didn't notice it.B: I am certain.A: Are there six men in the picture?B: I’m not sure.A: Is there a bottle on the table?B: Sure, there IS a bottle on the table.Audio Track 2-6-19A: What did your dream house look like?B: My dream house was light blue. I liked the color. The house was huge, and it had a lot of windows. The windows were all open.A: I think that shows you have a big, outgoing and open personality.A: What did the living room look like?B: It was the most spacious room in the house and my grandma was there. She was sitting on a comfortable sofa watching a big-screen TV.A: I think that means you care about your grandma and you want her to feel comfortable.When I was a small kid I often dreamed that I was a grown-up and that my favorite movie star was in love with me. The weird thing is that I can't remember exactly how we met or what we said to one another.Recently, I had a terrible nightmare. I remember it vividly. A gigantic dinosaur with huge claws was chasing me, and it very nearly caught me. It was unusual because I felt so scared that I screamed and woke up.Video CourseVideo Track 2-6-1Agnes: I have a very good memory when it comes to faces and images and drawings and things like that.

Never Give Up
They told him to quit, that he wasn’t good enough, but figure skater Paul Wylie refused to listen.
When he stepped off the plane in Washington, D.C.1,
following the 1992 Winter Games, and everyone in the terminal started clapping, Paul Wylie almost stopped in his tracks. Who‘ s behind me? He wondered. Despite the silver medal in his pocket, he couldn‘t believe that the applause was for him. From that moment on, Paul recognized that his life would never be the same.
The silver medal he earned in Albertville, France, ushered the 27-year-old figure skater into a new existence. He was no longer a nobody who choked at big events, like the 1988 Calgary Olympics, where he finished an unimpressive 10th. No longer therecipient of advice from judges who, after Paul‘s performance in the ‘91 World Championships, suggested that he quit: ―Make room for the younger skaters.‖
No longer the target of loaded questions from reporters covering the ‘91 OlympicTrials (―What are you doing here?‖). No longer the skater incapable of finishing ahead of U.S. National Champion Todd Eldredge or three-time defending World Champion Kurt Browning of Canada.
Now Paul Wylie was an Olympic hero. An athlete who kept going when doubters suggested he quit. A recent Harvard University graduate who had frequently fantasized about life without grueling hours on the ice, but who perseveredanyway. A young man who had discovered and demonstrated that goals can be reached no matter how many obstacles andbotched attempts lie in the way.
―A reporter who interviewed me at the Closing Ceremonies told me, ‗You came here an unknown and now you go home a hero,‘ Paul says. ―I thought that was interesting, because I was in France and unaware of how my journey was unfolding on U.S. television. It wasn‘t until I stepped off the plane that I realized people considered me a hero. They were changed by my story. They were changed by the fact that I was able to persevere and win the silver medal even though almost everyone had counted me out.‖
At times, Paul had almost counted himself out. ―Two months before the ‘92 Olympics, USA Today2 did a survey of different athletes and asked, ‗How often do you contemplate retirement?‘ The choices were: ‗yearly,‘ ‗monthly‘ or ‗weekly.‘‖
―I wrote, ‗daily,‘ because it was hard to keep going. But I just decided, I‘m going to persevere and hang in there, because I have a shot.‖
Things definitely changed in 1992 in Albertville. ―To have my story be one that brought tears to people‘s eyes, because of the way it turned around — that changed my life as well,‖ Paul says. ―I looked at my skating career and saw it rewrittenand beautiful, as opposed to a big disappointment and many years struggling toward some goal but not reaching it.‖
With medal in hand, Paul was suddenly ushered into a world of lucrative endorsements and figure-skating world tours, of exclusive events and autograph seekers. Everything you might expect of a celebrity hero, but none of what Paul himself believes merits the honor of that title.
―What makes a true hero is selfless service,‖ he says. ―Or someone whose life and actions inspire you to be better and to be a bigger person. I don‘t think what I did was selfless service. But God used the story of my life to inspire others.‖
Heroism, Paul has observed, requires daily maintenance. Just as a skater achieves perfection by practising small parts of his larger routine day after day, a hero must look for ways to serve on a regular basis — not just in a crisis or more visible situation.
