Unit 1 The Expensive Fantasy of Lord WilliamsI. New WordsII. Background InformationTomintoulIt is a village in the Scottish Highlands of Scotland, meaning Hillock of the Barn. It was laid out on a grid pattern by the 4th Duke of Gordon in 1775. The 2001 census reveals a village population of 322. "Lord" Tony Williams was one of its infamous personalities. It is the base camp for climbers and walkers in the area round the rivers Avon and Livet.Scotland (The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland )Scotland is one of four constituent nations which form the United Kingdom (the other three are England, Wales and Northern Ireland). The official language is English, although Gaelic is spoken, primarily in the North and West of Scotland. Scotland includes 787 islands, of which only 62 exceed three square miles in area. The usual garment associated with the patterned woollen cloth (known as tartan) is the kilt. In its simple form, this was widely worn by Highland Scots in centuries past. It is worth noting that the kilt was not worn by the Lowland Scots, who formed the majority of the population of the country.Scotland YardIt is the popular nickname of the London Metropolitan Police in London England because the land used for earlier police headquarters was entered through a courtyard later used by Sir Christopher Wren and known as "Scotland Yard." The yard was popularized in the many Sherlock Holmes novels, movies and TV series that depicted the bumbling (clumsy, awkward) Scotland Yard Inspector Lestrade.ChirnsideIt is a village of Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders. It has a 12th century church. Heavily modified at the beginning of the 20th century, it nevertheless preserves some of its original fabric.Irish Republican Army (IRA)A nationalist organization devoted to the integration of Ireland as a complete and independent unit.In 1969 the IRA split into two groups, the majority, or “officials”, advocating a united socialist Ireland but disavowing terrorist activities, and the “provisionals”, claiming terrorism as a necessary catalyst for unification. The “provisionals” then began a systematic terrorist campaign in Northern Ireland.III. Text StructurePart 1 (1~5) : General background of the story.It tells us where the story took place and who was the hero of the story. It also tells us roughly about what the hero did and the truth behind what he did. Then it continues to tell us that the hero, Mr. Williams, was brought into court for what he had done.Part 2 (6~8) : What are the responses from the villagers to Mr. Williams’case?This part tells us that the villagers’ responses to Mr. Williams varied: some still supported him; some felt hard to understand how a clever person like him could mislead people; still others wondered where the money had come from.Part 3 (9~14) : What are the major crimes that Mr. Williams committed and how did he spend the money?This part reveals that Mr. Williams stole more than £8 million over eight years. And he spent the money buying an estate and noble titles, fine stone cottages, a pub and a hotel, and also the most expensive crystal glasses for his restaurant.Part 4 (15~17) : What was the result of Mr. Williams, spending such a large amount of money?It tells us how Mr. Williams was caught by the bank and what the police did after they found Mr. Williams’ crime. And at the end of the story, Mr. Williams was feeling regretful for the crime. According to him, there was no way to justify it.IV. Language PointsPara. 1be willing to do be unwilling to doraise a glass to + n. : express good wishes toHe told us he had just passed the entrance examination of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and we raised our glasses to him.toast： to drink to the health or honor of 为...健康干杯, 敬...一杯We toasted the bride and bridegroom. exchange toasts 相互敬洒cheers：祝你健康!

(past participle) e.g. soft-spokenwell-dressedPara. 3And there are others who say their suspicions were aroused over time, as the 55-year-old Mr. Williams,suits, bought up property after property, providing such a large injection of cash into the village that he single-handedly brought the community back to life.asas 用来引起让步状语从句时，须把从句中的形容词、副词或动词提前，构成倒装。

My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me. And then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last ten minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for ten minutes staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University?By the 8th grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at a very slow speed. I got hold of all the speed-reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word-by-word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture.26.
