Uint1The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March,1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s signs and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and the blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring I did not know what surprise the future held for me.I felt approaching footsteps, I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything else, to love me.Unit 2It seems that marriage and money don’t mix, because marriage is a sexy rose-colored event that seems as wonderful as a cake without calories. Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means business and it’s usually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.Beyond the expenses that you’ll incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention within your marriage. While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally bound to each other. Once you’ve said, “I do,” some things can’t be undone.Unit 3The Globe Theater is a playhouse built just outside London in 1599. It is the most famous theater in history: on its stage Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. Big enough to hold about 2,500 people, the Globe had three levels of galleries surrounding an unroofed yard. Extending from one side of the yard to the center was an open stage. From the stage floor rose two posts to support an overhanging canopy known as the ‘heavens’. The Globe was built in London by the Burbage brothers in 1599. At the same time, wishing to bind the Lord Chamberlain’s company closely to the new playhouse, they planned a novel partnership in which the brothers divided ownership of the Globe among themselves and five of the actors in the company, one of whom was Shakespeare. After 1609, when the company opened a second theater, the Globe became less important. On June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare’s King Henry the Eighth, fire destroyed theGlobe. It was rebuilt within a year but was destroyed forever by the Puritans in 1644.Unit 4Throughout the long period, the French showed noticeably more enthusiasm for a Channel tunnel than the British. This may seem curious, seeing that France already has many land frontiers, whereas for Britain a tunnel would be its first fixed link with the Continent, and thus more valuable. But the British were held back by their insularity, and especially by fears that an invader might be able to make use of the scheme. Happily, all that is past. Today Britain’s politicians and business circles have shown themselves as eager as the French.Those who take a wider and longer-term view believe that these possible drawbacks for Britain will be far outweighed by the advantages. Passengers by express train will be able to do the journey at least an hour faster than by air, city center to city center, and without any tedious waits at airports. Also the fares will be cheaper. So the tunnel will probably stimulate a vast increase in tourism and business travel between London and Paris.Unit 5Man has a big brain. He can think, learn, and speak. Scientists used tothink that humans were different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn--dogs, rats, birds and even worms can learn. Scientists are now beginning to understand that humans are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words, but they are still different from us. They cannot join words or make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language, as we mean it. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization largely because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five--but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists don’t know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.Unit 5Many students who call themselves bad readers nevertheless do read some things successfully. They may read novels or they may read the sports page every day. But a textbook is a different matter. A textbook gives them a lot of troubles. Why is that? One reason is lack of interest. Another is that they are often unfamiliar with the subject about whichthey are reading. But a third reason is that they try to read a textbook as if it were a novel or a sports story or a problem to be solved by Ann landers. They respond to the textbook inappropriately.How you read something depends on the author’s purpose in writing. There are basically four purposes for writing. Some authors write to tell a story; others write to create an image in your mind; some authors write to inform or to teach; and some still others write to convince you of a particular viewpoint. Each of these four purposes requires a different response as you read. If you respond differently to different types of writing, you will find that your reading will be much easier.。

The young man was satisfied with the salary he would get.FThe young man would only get twelve pounds a weekincluding lunch, which was by no means good pay. Of course the writer was not satisfied.

To him, for a young man to work under a woman would be shameful and would result in a loss of dignity and self-respect.B. Explain the following in your own words.1. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience of teaching my chances of landing the job were slim. Because I was in bad need of money and was eager to do something of use, I applied for the job. But at the same time that I did so, I was afraid that the possibility for me to get the job was very small because I didn’t have a university degree, nor did I have any teaching experience.2. ...three days later a letter arrived, summoning me to Croydon for an interview.… three days later I received a letter, asking me to go to Croydon to have an interview.3.

The prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.The fact that I would have to work under a woman in future made me feel totally humiliated.TEXT 2 ( P3 )How to Do Well on a Job InterviewComprehensionTrue (T) or False (F)1.

FIt’s a job that anyone who thinks he is qualified can apply for.6. TGuided writing ( P5 )I love travelling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There is no romance on motorway, which is a box of metal and rubber on a strip of concrete, or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. On a train, you can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers; whereas in a plane all you can see are the clouds and the back of other people’s heads. And then there are the stations. Some, I’m afraid, have become too like airport; others, fortunately, are old and dirty, full of unexpected details and with their own individual peculiarities. Traveling by train remains an adventure, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker system. Then there is that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train. There’s nothing like it.Precis writing ( P7 )I applied for my first job before I entered university because I was short of money. The school where I applied for a job wasten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The Victorian schoolhouses stood amid fumes and dust main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the house academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who, were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred (憎恶). Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.Paragraph Writing( 略)Letter Writing （略）Comprehensive Exercises ( P9 )1.

A New English Course (Level 7)Unit Two TEXT ITouristsI. About the author--- Nancy Mitford (1904---1973), English writer of novels, biographies, and essays, is noted for her witty novels of upper-class life. Her workers include: Pursuit of Love (1945), Vlotaire in Love (1957), and The Sun King (1966), about Louis XIV. One of her most widely read books was Noblesse Oblige: An Inquiry into the Identifiable Characteristics of the English Aristocracy (1956). The text is from an essay called “The Tourist,” part of a collection published under the title of The Water Beetle (1962).II. Organization and DevelopmentAlthough part of a collection, the selection is quite complete in itself as far as structure is concerned. The author seems to have followed a well-worked-out outline. Now try to restore that outline, indicating the main parts and the major subdivisions under each of them.Outline for reference:1.The island and the touristsThe island: location, natural features, the cathedral and its bellsThe tourists: number, transport, lack of taste, ill-mannered behavior,American-Englishmen-Germans2.Behavior of the islandersThe author’s general attitudeComparison of the island to a stageYoung men from Burano (Little Eric)Old women selling lacesThe priestThe tourists’ response3.Torcello back to its life routineYoung menOld womenFather of the clover babiesThe brief description of the small island creates the impression that it might be a nice, quiet retreat for writers like the author herself, but it might not be a good tourist resort. This helps to strengthen the point the author wants to make, i.e. the tourists who swamp the place are aimless in their touring.III. Notes1. Based on the author’s description, try to think of just a few words and phrases that bring out the most important features of the island Torcello.Small, ancient, abundant in wild flowers, crisscrossed by waterways2. Rephrase the sentence:The most intensive study I ever made of tourists was at Torcello, where it is impossible to avoid them.Since tourists can be seen almost everywhere at Torcello, I decided to observe them closely.3. minute: very small4. lagoon: an area of calm sea water partly or completely separated from the sea by banks of sand, rock, coral, etc.5. a great cathedral --- referring to SantaMaria Assunta Cathedral, which was founded in about 639, and rebuilt in the ninth and the eleventh century. It is a Byzantine cathedral, decorated with fine Veneto-Byzantine mosaics.6. What does the word “chorus” in line 8 refer to?bells ringing out7. Explain the sentence:Bells from the campanile ring out reproaches three times a day …joined by a chorus from the surrounding islands. --- From the campanile, or the high bell tower, can be heard the reproaches, or sets of verses representing reproaches of Jesus Christ to his people, three times a day. Such reproaches ring out from the nearby islands too.“cloches, cloches, divins reproches” = (French) “bells, bells, divine reproaches”8. lonely as a cloud --- This is an echo of William Wordsworth’s poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (1804). The first verse of the poem is as follows:I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o’er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.9. Rephrase the sentence:Torcello which used to be lonely as a cloud has recently become an outing from Venice.Torcello was at one time an island scarcely visited by people, but today it has grown to be a magnet for tourists from Venice.10. chartered --- hired for use by a particular group or person11. yacht --- a large boat, often motor-driven, used for pleasure; a light sailing boat12. towpath --- a path (as along the bank of a canal or river) traveled by men or animals towing / pulling boats13. Possibly there is a double meaning in the phrase much restored in line 13.The early mosaics are made to look new again; the scenes from hell are brought back to life.14. a great, sad, austere Madonna --- the image of Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, inmosaics, who appears sorrowful and stern15. Byzantine art --- the symbolical system of art which was developed by the early Greek or Byzantine artists out of the Christian symbolism. Its chief features are the circle, dome, and round arch; and its chief symbols the lily, cross, vesica, and nimbus.16. Explain the sentence in line 14 “Byzantine art is an acquired taste.”One needs to cultivate a certain taste to be able to appreciate Byzantine art.17. Rephrase the sentence:Byzantine art is an acquired taste and probably not one in ten of the visitors has acquired it.Byzantine art is a highly refined heritage, but few of the tourists here have arrived at that sophistry as to be able to appreciate it. / To appreciate Byzantine art, one needs to cultivate a particular sense of beauty, but few of the tourists to Torcello have been so equipped.18. the village green --- a small stretch of grass in the village19. Attila --- king of the Huns, a nomadic people from central Asia, from 434 A.D. to 453 A.D., and one of the greatest of the barbarian rulers who attacked the Roman Empire. In 452 he invaded northern Italy and sacked several cities there.20. leave the devil of a mess behind them --- leave behind them all kinds of litter / a terrible mess. Devil is often used to give force to various expressions, especially of displeasure, e.g. We had a devil of a job trying to persuade her.Why the devil did he come?What the devil is she doing now?21. marching as to war --- This is an echo of a Christian hymn written by Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924). The first stanza goes thus:Onward, Christian soldiers,Marching as to war,With the Cross of JesusGoing on before! (1864)22. a Leader --- apparently referring to the tourist guide23. a standing order --- a permanent request (for something by a customer)24. From what Mitford has said of the tourists in the first paragraph, can you imagine what, in her opinion, a good tourist should be like?He should have a clear purpose when going sightseeing, be appreciative of what there is supposed to be seen; he should not litter, or do anything harmful to the environment.25. What different images has Mitford created of the Americans, the Englishmen, and the Germans with her brief description of them?Americans --- well-to-do but having no taste at allEnglishmen --- mean, not attentive to public hygieneGermans --- well-organized and well-disciplined but not appreciative26. extract --- obtain by much effort27. Rephrase the sentence:As they are obliged, whether they like it or not, to live in public during the whole summer, they very naturally try to extract some financial benefit from this state of affairs.They have no choice but to come into contact with the tourists throughout the summer, and it is not hard to imagine why they should not try to earn some money out of this opportunity.28. What does the word Italian in line 31 refer to?The Italian nation as a whole29. gondolier --- the boatman who propels a gondola, a long narrow flat-bottomed boat with a high prow and stern used on the canals of Venice30. sandolos --- small boats used on the Venetian canals31. Buona fortuna --- (Italian) Good luck32. trinket --- a small ornament (as a jewel or ring) of little value33. point de Venise lace --- lace that is made with a needle or needle point. Burano is known for its Venetian point lace industry.34. four-leafed clovers --- or four-leafed clovers, four-leaf clovers. A four-leafed clover is a clover plant that has a set of four leaves instead of the usual three, and is believed to bring good luck to a person who finds it.Clover –is a small usu. three-leafed plant with pink, purple, or white flowers, often grown as food for cattle.35. holy processions --- religious parades36. Rephrase the sentence:The priest organizes holy processions to coincide with the arrival of the steamer.The priest arranges for the religious pageant to begin the moment the ship arrives.37. flapping --- swaying loosely, and making a noise, especially when moved by wind38. Daily Mail --- name of a newspaper39. Where in paragraph 2 does Mitford reveal her attitude towards the way the islanders behave?She is somewhat sympathetic to them. Refer to lines 29-31, “As they are obliged, whether they like it or not … from this state of affairs.”40. A metaphor runs through paragraphs 2 and 3. What is it? Which sentence sets up the comparison? Pick out words that continue the metaphor.The island is compared to a stage, and the activities to a play.Line 31, “The Italian is a born actor …”dress up, sweet-faced old women, apparently, organizes holy procession to coincide, the curtain, shed their jackets, let the smiles fade41. How do you understand the last sentence “Tocello is itself again”?The play is over; ordinary life on the island is restored, and the islanders are their normal selves again.Unit FourText IStyle and PurposeI. About the AuthorRandolph Quirk (1920-), British university professor and official, has taught in University College, London; Yale University and the University of Michigan, U.S>A.; University of Durham, etc. He is Vice-Chancellor of the University of London (1981-) and Chairman of the Committee of Enquiry into Speech Therapy Services, British Council English Committee (1976-). Among his publications are: The Use of English (1962), A Grammar of Contemporary English (1972, with Greenbaum, Leech, Svartvik), and Style and Communication in the English Language (1982). The text is an excerpt from Chapter 14 in The Use of English.II. Organization and DevelopmentPara 2 Example: riding a bikePoint to illustrate: learn to be conventional before trying to be originalPara 3 Examples: “freezing hot-ice-cream”, “Bitter Sweet”Point to illustrate: Unconventionality can sometimes produce special effect Paras 4-5 Example: letter-beginnings and endingsPoint to illustrate: Style varies on a scale; mixing different styles may haveharmful effect.Paras 6-7 Example: phrases like “incredible insight, lofty flights of imagination, …”Point to illustrate: Common collocations when used indiscriminately becomeclichés, the use of which should be avoided, especially in writingIII. Notes1.the intricacy of co-ordination in using language--- the complexities involved in thearrangement, combination, and organization of words2.constraints --- restrictions, limitations3.as we saw in the previous chapter, in the different constraints operating in speechand writing --- The previous chapter refers to Chapter 13, entitled “Problems of Usage,”in the author’s The Use of English (1968). In this chapter, the author discusses the selection of “linguistic expressions which will not merely suit the topic but which will suit our audience.” In other words, “language must be used not merely to “get out”” what we have in our minds but also to “get it across” as completely and effectively as possible to someone else. Moreover, the author points out that apart from grammar and vocabulary, there are constraints such as 1) effective communication of the simplest utterances depending on the extent to which it fits in with the listener’s expectations, and these expectations are largely derived from his previous experience in the language, 2) the ease with which a mode of expression may be understood, 3) the use of redundancy, 4) habitual collocations, 5) punctuation, and 6) avoidance of ambiguity, clumsiness, or obscurity, etc.4.Rephrase the sentence:Part of the intricacy …What makes the use of a language complicated can partly be explained by the fact that there are many restrictions upon the spoken and written forms (of the language)5. Rephrase the sentenceThe stylistic range of English is wide…The ways of expressing thoughts through the use of the English language vary so much that it is practically impossible to classify them neatly.6. congruous with --- compatibale with7.scale --- a graded series / scheme / system of rank of order, something gradedespecially when used as a measure or rule8. on this scale --- on the scale of styles, for example, the five-point scale of style from frozen, formal, consultative, casual, to intimate as devised by Martin Joos in his The Five Clocks: A Linguistic Excursion in the Five Styles of English Usage(1961).9. What does “this scale” in line 8 refer to?The stylistic range of English.10. conventions of collocation --- generally accepted practice of placing wordstogether in a way that sounds natural11. What are the major factors that constrain a user of language when he is puttingwords together to form discourse?The conventions of collocation: what words can go togetherGrammar: rules governing the formation of sentencesStylistic constraints: selection of the appropriate style and consistency in style 12. Rephrase the sentenceIt may seem paradoxical to lay such …It probably sounds contradictory that while some are trying to encourage people to be creative in their application of the English language, we seem to be so particular about the accepted rules that govern the formal use of the language.13.“Look, Mother: no hands!” --- This is what a child might say to his mother whenhe has his hands off the handlebars of the bicycle when cycling, which is rather unconventional.14. the art of cycling in the conventional manner --- the skill of writing in the customary way. Here,, an analogy is made between the skill of writing and the art of cycling. A person who can write at will is compared to a cyclist who can ride his bicycle at ease.15. How does Quirk compare progress in the art of writing with riding a bike?Before you have mastered the art of cycling in the conventional manner, e.g. holding the bar with both hands, you should not try to be unconventional by removing your hands from it. The same rule applies to the use of language.16. the words of Mr. Robert Graves --- the quoted words are: “every English poet should… master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them”(The Times, 21 October 1961), from Chapter 13 of the author’s The Use of English (1968), p.231.Robert Graves (1895-1985), English poet, has sought personal integrity in his poetry, avoiding fashion.17. norm --- a standard, e.g. of behavior or ability, that is regarded as average orgenerally accepted18. Rephrase the sentenceWithout a norm …It is no sense easy for us even to tell what creativeness really is or how creativeness is to be achieved, unless we have some criterion to base our judgment on.19. fetching gimmick --- tempting name or device to attract attention20. hoary witticism --- a very old amusing remark21. The hand that rocked the cradle has kicked the bucket. --- Mother died.This is a combination of two phrases. “The hand that rocked the cradle” is the first half of the saying “The hand that rocked the cradle rules the world,” meaning “theexample and influence of a mother are powerful and far-reaching in their effect.” “Kick the bucket” is a slang phrase meaning “die.”22. tension --- imbalance; opposition23. formalities --- a way of writing letters in accordance with accepted rules for official occasions24. “Further to yours of the 23rd ult.” --- “With reference to your letter of the 23rd of the last month”further to --- with reference to. This is a phrase used in old-fashioned business letters.ult. --- ultimo, meaning “of last month.” This is used after a date in a business letter, but its use is becoming rare.25. What point or points does Quirk want to make with the various example he citesin paragraph 4 and 5 which are related to letter-writing?Adopt the style suitable to the situation of use, and do not mix different styles. 26. …what was said in the previous chapter about expected collocations. --- In Chapter 13, entitled “Problems of Usage,”in The Use of English, the author mentions “an amusing instance”of misunderstanding caused by “expected collocations.” In a television programme in the autumn of 1959, the British Prime Minister, Mr. Harold Macmillan, was discussing political problems with President Dwight Eisenhower of the U. S. A., and one remark by Mr. Macmillan, “We never jobbed backwards” (meaning: “We haven’t spent our time resentfully thinking of what might have been.”) was reported by The Times as “We’ve never jogged backwards.” The mistaken reportage made in both cases was due to the fact that the expression used by Mr. Macmillan was not commonly understood. Thus, the reporters, influenced by normally expected collocations of the word backwards, produced their own versions.27. Harold Pinter (1930- ), English dramatist, studied acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and began his theatrical career as an actor. Pinter is the most significant English playwright of the 1960s and one of the most original dramatists of the twentieth century. The superficial structure of his plays conforms to the conventions of the realistic theater, but the relationships of his characters and the sequence of dialogues and events are unconventional, unpredictable, and ambiguous. His plays are often about how people maneuver verbally for power over each other. The use of understatement, small talk, reticence, and even silence, conveys the substance of a character’s thought, which often lies several layers beneath and contradicts his speech. It is difficult to explain the meaning of Pinter’s plays in a conventional sense.28. Rephrase the sentencewe may not feel any…We may not think it at all disagreeable or offensive, which is typical of our feeling about a cliché.29. Is there a hard-and-fast rule that forbids the use of clichés?No. Everything depends on what is expected at particular points in the stylistic range. For example, “incredible insight”may well be accepted when used incriticism that is spoken on an informal occasion.30. indiscriminately --- without making judgments or a proper choice31. consummate --- perfect32. hackneyed --- meaningless because used and repeated too often; trite33. tautologous --- unnecessarily repetitive, obvious34. veribage --- too many unnecessary words in speech or writing35. woolliness --- confusion, obscurityUnit EightTEXT IFifth Avenue, Uptown: A Letter from HarlemJames BaldwinI. Introductory Remarks to the TextSince we have learnt American Literature last term, we all know Ralph Waldo Ellison and his Invisible Man (1952).Ralph Ellison was a midwesterner, born in Oklahoma, who studied at Tuskegee Institute in the southern United States. He had one of the strangest career in American letters --- consisting of one highly acclaimed book, and nothing more. The novel is Invisible Man (1952), the story of a black man who lives a subterranean existence in a hole brightly illuminated by electricity stolen from a utility company. The book recounts his grotesque, disenchanting experiences. When he wins a scholarship to a black college, he is humiliated by whites; when he gets to the college, he witnesses the black president spurning black American concerns. Life is corrupt outside college, too. For example, even religion is no consolation: A preacher turns out to be a criminal. The novel indicts society for failing to provides its citizens --- black and white --- with viable ideals and institutions for realizing them. It embodies a powerful racial theme because the “invisible man” is invisible not in himself but because others, blinded by prejudice, cannot see him for who he is.II. Background Knowledge about the AuthorJames Baldwin (1924-1987) and Ralph Ellison mirror the African-American experience of the 1950s. Their characters suffer from a lack of identity, rather than from over-ambition. Baldwin, the oldest of nine children born to a Harlem, New York, family, was the foster of a minister. As a youth, Baldwin occasionally preached in the church. This experience helped shape the compelling, oral quality of Baldwin’s prose, most clearly seen in his excellent essays, such as “Letter from a Region Of My Mind,” from the collection The Fire Next Time (1963). In this, he argued movingly for an end to separation between the races.Baldwin’s first novel, the autobiographical Go Tell It On the Mountain (1953), is probably his best known. It is the story of a 14-year-old youth who seeks self-knowledge and religious faith as he wrestles with issues of Christian conversation in storefront church. Other important Baldwin works include Another Country (1962), a novel about racial issues and homosexuality, and Nobody Knows My Name (1961), a collection of passionate personal essays about racism, the role of the artist, and literature.III. Organization and DevelopmentThe present text is an excerpt taken from a longer article; nevertheless, it still enjoys integrity in terms of organization. Clearly, it contains two major parts. What are they? How do they jointly contribute to the primary purpose of the author?Furthermore, we should consider how the paragraphs in each of the two parts are interrelated. Identify the topic sentence of each paragraph and see how the paragraphsare developed and supported, taking note especially of the way argumentation alternates with other forms of discourse.First part --- paras. 1-3Second part --- paras. 4-5The first part deals with the ghetto itself and Blacks’reaction to it, and the second with the police and Blacks’ hatred of white domination.Both parts are related to the central theme of the writing: Blacks have been despised by the white world; they find the insult unbearable; and they want to be treated equally.The topic sentence of paragraph 1: The projects in Harlem are hated. This is developed to a great extent in the second paragraph, the topic sentence of which is “The projects are hideous”, and is reiterated in an even stronger version at the end of the paragraph: “the projects would still be hated because they are an insult to the meanest intelligence.”In this paragraph, we also find a solid description of the projects (hideous in two senses) to support the author’s argument.The topic sentence of paragraph 3: A ghetto can be improved in one way only: out of existence. Here, we find the strongest statement of the author’s view with regard to the projects.The topic sentence of paragraph 4: the only way to police a ghetto is to be oppressive. Note the key word in this statement is “oppressive.”The transition between paragraphs 4 and 5 is indicated by “on the other hand.”The topic sentence of paragraph 5 is the last sentence: Negroes want to be treated like men. This implies that at present they are not being treated like men because of segregation and oppression, no matter how good-natured and innocent the white policemen are.In the first paragraph, the author says they are hated almost as much as policemen, and this is saying a great deal. Obviously, the text can be divided into two parts.The theory of clause relations put forward by Michael Hoey has three discourse patterns (Problem-Solution Pattern, Matching Pattern, General-Particular Pattern), based on this theory, this text belongs to Problem-Solution pattern. The common mode for this pattern is: situation---problem---reaction---evaluation.Part I1. Situation:a) Lexical signals: The projects are hated. (Hated is the lexical signal to show the situation.)b) Narrative question (through repetition): They are hated almost as much as policemen, and this is saying a great deal. (to express the degree to which the hatred is)c) Interpretative question (through conjuncts): And they are hated for the same reason: both reveal, unbearably, the real attitude of the white world. (to express the reason)d) Subordinate relationship (subordinators): no matter how many liberal speeches are made, no matter how many lofty editorials are written, no matter how many civilrights commissions are set up. (by means of three parallel subordinators, the deep-rooted hatred is clearly demonstrated here.)2. Problem:a) Lexical signals: The projects are hideous.( popular housing shall be as cheerless as a prison)b) narrative question: They are lumped all over Harlem, colorless, bleak, high and revolting.c) interpretative question (through several parallel parts, three semicolons are used here to illustrate the problems on all aspects): The wide windows look out on Harlem’s invincible and indescribable squalor: the present dark community began about forty years ago (old); the unrehabilitated houses, bowed down, it would seem, under the great weight of frustration and bitterness they contain; the dark, ominous schoolhouses from which the child may emerge maimed, blinded, hooked, or enraged for life; and the churches, churches, block upon churches, niched in the walls like cannon in the walls of a fortress.d) Subordinate relationship (by means of subordinators to illustrate the seriousness of the problem): Even if the administration of the projects were not so insanely humiliating, the projects would still be hated because they are an insult to the meanest intelligence.3. Reaction:a)lexical signals: Slum or ghetto (Harlem got its first private project, Riverton--- which is now, naturally, a slum)b)narrative question: (what are the reactions?) they hated it long before thebuilders arrived. They began hating it at about the time people began moving out of their condemned houses to make room for this additional proof of how thoroughly the white world despised them. And they had scarcely moved in, naturally, before they began smashing windows, defacing walls, urinating in the elevators, and fornicating in the playgrounds.c)interpretative question: (the result of the reaction) Liberals, both white andblack, were appalled at the spectacle. I was appalled by the liberal innocence --- or cynicism, which comes out in practice as much the same thing. Other people were delighted to be able to point to proof positive that nothing could be done to better the lot of the colored people.d)subordinate relationship: They were, and are, right in one respect: thatnothing can be done as long as they are treated like colored people.4. evaluation:a)lexical signals: The evaluation is negative “no”.b)narrative question: A ghetto can improved in one way only: out of existence.c)interpretative question: The people in Harlem know they are living therebecause white people do not think t hey are good enough to live anywhere else.No amount of“improvement” can sweeten this fact.d)subordinate relationship: whatever money is now being earmarked to improvethis, or any other ghetto, might as well be burnt.Part II1. Situation:a)lexical signals: to police a ghetto is to be oppressive.b)narrative question: The very presence of the policemen is an insult.c)interpretative question: they represent the force of the white world, and thatworld’s real intentions are, simply, for that world’s criminal profit and ease,to keep the black man corralled up here, in his place. The badge, the gun inthe holster, and the swinging club make vivid what will happen should hisrebellion become overt.d)coordinate / subordinate relationship: Rare, indeed, is the Harlem citizen,from the most circumspect church member to the most shiftless adolescent,who does not have a long tale to tell of police incompetence, injustice, orbrutality.2. Problem:a)lexical signals: The first sentence in paragraph 5 implies that at present theyare not being treated like men because of segregation and oppression, no matter how good-natured and innocent the white policemen are.b)narrative question: He, too, believes in good intentions and is astounded andoffended when they are taken for the deed.c)interpretative question: He has never, himself, done anything for which to behated --- which of us has?d)subordinate relationship: --- and yet he is facing, daily and nightly, peoplewould gladly see him dead, and he knows it.3. Reaction:a)lexical signals: there are few things under heaven more unnerving than thesilent, accumulating contempt and hatred of a people.b)narrative question: He moves through Harlem, like an occupying soldier in abitterly hostile country, which is precisely what, and where , he is, and isthe reason he walks in twos and threes.c)interpretative question: and he is not the only one who knows why he isalways in company: the people who are watching him know why, too.d)Coordinate / subordinate relationship: and these days, of course, in termsincreasingly vivid and jubilant, it speaks of the end of that domination.4. Evaluation:a)lexical signals: Negroes want to be treated like men.b)narrative question: The white policeman standing on a Harlem street cornerfinds himself at the very center of the revolution now occurring in the world.He is not prepared for it --- naturally, nobody is --- and, what is possiblymuch more to the point, he is exposed, as few white people are, to theanguish of the black people around him. Even if he is gifted with the merestmustard grain of imagination, something must seep in.c)interpretative question: He becomes more callous, the population becomesmore hostile, the situation grows tense, and the police force is increased.d)coordinate / subordinate relationship: One day, to everyone’s astonishment,someone drops a match in the powder keg and everything and civil-rights。
