21世纪⼤学实⽤英语综合教程第⼆册Unit3教案1st period Text A (Global Reading)1 Background InformationMichael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, but his family decided to move to Wilmington, North Carolina when he was still a toddler. Jordan is the fourth of five children, including two older brothers and an older and younger sister. Michael’s dad worked hard at an electric plant while his mom labored full-time at a bank. Jordan’s parents worked hard to provide him and his siblings with a comfortable lifestyle.By the time Jordan was finishing his senior year at Laney, he had grown to 6’5” and attained a basketball scholarship from the University of North Carolina. Jordan’s ever-growing popularity began at UNC where he made a last minute game winning shot in the NCAA championship game.Michael’s talent and personality transcended the very lives of his fans. He single-handedly paved the way for off-the-court athlete endorsements —a billion dollar industry today!2, Group Discussion1) What’s Michael Jordan’s ultimate goal2) How did he approach his goals3) What did Jordan learn when he got cut from the varsity team in high school4) How did Jordan achieve his goal of becoming a starter on the varsity5) What did Jordan visualize each time6) What did Jordan gain every time he reached his goal7) What does the writer think of success3, OverviewNothing seek, nothing find (⽆所求则⽆所获), as the saying goes.

Talk to your classmates and tell them what your personal and professional goals are and how you achieved / will achieve them.If you try as hard as you can and don’t succeed, don’t get down on yourself. Actually you will have some accomplishments along the way. Besides, not everyone is going to be the greatest at something. But you still can be considered a success. 4, Understanding the TextWhat did he visualize each timeWhat did he gain every time he reached his goalWhat does the writer think of successWhy does he always set short-time goalsWhat’s the best way of accomplishing something2nd period Text A (Detailed Reading)Ⅰ.

Every year, on June 19th, a professor from the University of Pisa climbs to the bell tower and measures the increase in the slant with special instruments. And every year the professor makes the same report: the tower has leaned a fraction of an inch more. Last summer, the 125 foot-high tower was leaning an incredible 15 feet out of line. Scientists say that unless a way is found to stop the tilt, the tower will collapse in less than 80 years.The tower is leaning because the soft subsoil of Pisa will not support it. Its foundation is sinking into the soil at an angle, causing the tower to lean. Since a tremor could shake the foundation loose, the ringing of the tower's bells was forbidden in 1959. Trucks are not allowed to pass in the neighborhood of the tower for this same reason.1. The statement which best expresses the main idea of this passage is that _________.A. the Leaning Tower of Pisa is in increasing danger of collapsingB. every year a professor measures the increase in the tower's slantC. the tower is leaning because the subsoil of Pisa will not support itD. there is only one way to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa2. It can be inferred from the passage that last summer the tower was found tilted further by __.A. 15 feetB. more than one inchC. a fraction of an inchD. several inches3. The tower tilts more and more because ___________.A. the ringing of the bells causes a tremorB. there are passing trucks nearby4. Why is the tower described as defying the laws of gravity?A. It had resisted shaking tremors for hundreds of years.B. It was built on soft ground.C. It leans a fraction of an inch more every year.D. Scientists think that it should have collapsed long ago.5. Truck traffic has been forbidden in the neighborhood of the tower _________.A. to protect the driversB. to prevent accidentsC. as a precaution against shaking tremorsD. because trucks damage the foundationQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Napoleon Bonaparte was the master of Europe. He wanted to be the master of the whole world. But he had to first win England, and to win England he had to cross the English Channel in force. If only he had ships which could ignore wind and current and tide and outtravel the British war vessels.Just at that time, there came to his court an American inventor, Robert Fulton by name. Fulton had invented a way of propelling ships by steam instead of by sails.He had also worked out a submarine torpedo (鱼雷) boat. He made successful tests of both these inventions, to the satisfaction of Napoleon's most doubting navy experts.The problem was solved. It was Napoleon's God-given opportunity. He wanted very much to try Fulton's idea. Then he decided against it.If Fulton's invention should fail, Napoleon feared he would be the laughing-stock of Europe. He could not afford to be laughed at. So he refused to pay the price of a laugh, and incidentally, he threw away world conquest.6. Napoleon's refusal to pay the price of a laugh probably cost him _________.A. much troubleB. world conquestC. bloodshedD. immense human lives7. At first the naval experts of Napoleon were _____.A. suspiciousB. astonishedC. annoyed with Fulton's inventionsD. satisfied8.

A submarine boat is one that _________.A. is used to carry passengersB. is able to operate under the surface of the seaC. carries mainly goodsD. is moved by one or more paddiesQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:All the useful energy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun. The sun heats and feeds mankind. Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood.Coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored-up energy from the sun. Some was collected by this season's plants as carbon compounds. Some was stored by plants and trees ages ago.Even waterpower derives from the sun. Water turned into vapor by the sun falls as rain. It courses down the mountains and is converted to electric power.Light transmits only the energy that comes from the sun's outer layers, and much of this energy that is directed toward the earth never arrives. About nine-tenths of it is absorbed by the atmosphere of the earth. In fact, the earth itself gets only one half-billionth of the sun's entire output of radiant energy.11. The sun is the source of all of the following EXCEPT____.A. gasolineB. natural gasC. atomic energyD. green plants12. Radiant energy is stored as carbon compounds by _____.A. plantsB. rainC. rockD. wind13. The sun's energy directly provides us with _____.A. rainB. vaporC. lightD. food14.

Of the sun's entire output of radiant energy, the earth receives _______.A. one tenthB. nine tenthsC. all that comes from the sun's outer layersD. a very small portionQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:With the invention and development of television, entertainment has grown much more visual in character and is demanding less and less use of the imagination, considered by many to be man's greatest faculty ; but its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to exercise just those creative powers in men which are called upon and developed in the pursuit of a worthwhile hobby. This lack is not serious while a man is still fully employed in his day-to-day work which itself often gives him opportunities to create either with his hands or with his mind. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in his leisure. There comes a time, however, when he must retire from his occupation on account of age, and it is then that these shallower pastimes, useful enough as a form of relaxation, might cease to satisfy the hitherto active man. Today, many elderly people are finding this to be true, and seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in a short temper and slow degeneration (衰退) of health, thetwo most common symptoms.16. The writer criticizes visual entertainment because _________.A. it does not require men's creative powersB. it cannot improve our intelligence and skillC. it demands too much of our imaginationD. it leads men to slow degeneration in health17. What is regarded as men's greatest faculty?A. Entertainment.B. Character.C. Hobbies.D. Imagination.18. While fully employed, men look for _______.A. visual entertainment that requires imagination in their leisureB. opportunities to create either with their hands or with their minds in their leisureC. something that will help them relax in their leisureD. creative hobbies in their leisure19. The elderly people find _________.A. that shallower pastimes can no longer satisfy themB. it unnecessary to cultivate creative hobbies in their younger daysC. retirement unnecessaryA. hobbies are more important to the youth than to the elderly peopleB. we should develop worthwhile hobbies when we are youngC. in ancient time entertainment was more visual in characterD. hobbies are not important in the health of modem menPart III Vocabulary & Structure1.
