Unit 3PreviewTeaching ArrangementMain ReadingUnderstanding the Differences between Men and WomenI．Pre-reading activities1．BrainstormingA) What are the differences between men and women? Consider aspects such as their bodies, social roles, and respective strengths and weaknesses.B) Generally speaking, who live longer, men or women? What are the reasons? Does the longevity gap also exist in the animal world?2．Surfing and ReportingA) chromosomeB) hormoneC) HDL & LDL cholesterolD) decline of maternal death rates E) arthritisF) top 10 causes of deathG) regional differences of life spanH) schizophreniaII．Background informationgap between men and womenMen and women are biologically different from each other in many ways. Men are big, strong and aggressive, while women are physically inferior, and mentally intimate. But someone argues, it is an error to label the female the weaker sex by the former biological differences, for, actually, women on the average live seven years longer than men do, according to some surveys in western countries. That is mainly because women usually lead a healthier lifestyle, and they show more endurance and adaptability under stress.III．Text1.Text structureMain ideas and important details of the text1) Problems simply arise when we expect or assume the opposite sex should think, feel or act the way we do.2) Men and women shall first understand the ways they are different, then accept their differences, and live their lives fully andas skillfully as possible. They must avoid trying to change others to suit their needs.3) Women are usually more concerned about how problems are solved than merely solving the problem itself. The process ofsolving a problem can strengthen or weaken a relationship. For men, how the problem is solved is not nearly as important as solving it effectively and in the best possible manner. They are often distracted and do not attend well to the quality of the relationship while solving problems.4) While women take a broad or “collective” perspective, and view elements in a task as interconnected and interdependent,men tend to focus on one problem at a time or a limited number of problems at a time, and view elements in a task as less interconnected and more independent.5) While women have an enhanced ability to recall memories that have strong emotional components, men tend to recallevents using strategies that rely on reconstructing the experience in terms of elements, tasks or activities that took place.6) Men feel closer and validated through shared activities. Women, on the other hand, feel closer and validated throughcommunication, dialogue and intimate sharing of experience, emotional content and personal perspectives.2．Language points1). in light of (L6) 考虑到In light of this tragic event, we have cancelled the 4th of July celebrations.A supplementary budget was announced in February 1991 in light of the negative effects of the Gulf crisis on theeconomy.2). Our failure to recognize and appreciate these differences can become a life long source of disappointment, frustration,tension and eventually our down fall in a relationship. (L7)Paraphrase: If we cannot realize these differences or accept that the differences exist, such an ignorance may be a lifelong cause of disappointment, frustration, tension and finally out failure in a relationship.【译文】没有意识到差异、不承认这些差异的客观存在可能成为我们这一生与异性相处中失望、沮丧、紧张甚至最终关系告吹的根源。

person.Do they put you down?Do they annoy you?Assess clearly why you no longer want this person in your life and be firm in your decision.If you are dumping a friend because they are unreliable,the easiest solution is to graduallycut them out of your life.If he or she never makes time for you then they probably won't noticethat you are not making time for them either.People who don't value your time do not value you;leave them out of your life.If you have decided that you want to dump a friend because you don'twant to share their lifestyle,then you need to make yourself very clear.You need to set clearboundaries.And if the person has committed some unforgivable mistakes,you also need to speakup.You need to clearly explain that whatever they did was unacceptable and you cannot pretendthat it did not happen.You need to tell them that this was not OK and the friendships can no longermove on.It might be tempting to give someone the silent treatment,but remember that everything thatseems self-evident to you is not always equally obvious to others.The other person might not evenknow that they hurt your feelings!If someone's behavior is really bothering you and they are

helpful.Tip one:It's always better to let the argument simmer a little before confronting the person.If you talk right after the fight,many things are said out of anger.Tip two:Allowing bad feelings to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes moredifficult to make up.So after the fight calms down,make sure you talk to the person before it's toolate.Tip three:It's okay to be the first to give in and apologize.The other person probably wantsto do it too,but it shows your courage and that you are a dedicated friend.Yet,if you'reconstantly in fights and always making up first,then take time to reconsider if this person is reallya friend.Tip four:If the friends are unforgiving then try to look back and see what you could havedone.Read past emails,chats and something like that.This
