Is it easy of full of adventures?c)Can you guess what the texts in this unit are going to be about?2.Spaghetti1)Definition: spaghetti is the Italian-style thin noodle, cooked by boiling and servedwith sauce. Unlike some Chinese noodles, it is not served in soup and will never tastepulpy.2)Listen and practiceRead the words given below and then listen to the passage. After listening to thepassage one student is required to come up and show the right way of eating spaghettibefore the class.i.hold the fork in your hand as if to poke the spaghetti.ii.Scoop up a small amount of spaghetti on your fork and raise it about30 cm above your plate.iii.Make sure the spaghetti on your fork is completely disconnected fromthe remainder on your plate.iv.Put the prongs of the fork at an edge of the plate that is free of food.v.Quickly point the prongs of the fork straight down toward the plateand place the points on the plate.vi.Twirl the fork to gather the spaghetti around the prongs.vii.With a quick scooping movement, gather up the roll around theprongs and place it in your month.viii.Gently gather up any stray spaghetti ends that don’t make it all theway into your mouth.3.American education systemIn the U.S., education is the responsibility of individual states, not of the federalgovernment, so requirements may vary from one state to another. The following is ageneralization:Kindergarten: under 5 years oldElementary/primary school (grades 1-6): 6-11 years oldJunior high/middle school (grades7-8): 12-13 years oldSenior high school (grades9-12): 14-17 years oldCollege, institute, academy, universityⅢ. Global Reading1.ScanningScan Text A and find out all the time words, phrases and clauses.since my childhood in Belleville (LL.1-2)until my third year in high school (L.2)until then(L.3)when our classed was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English(L.7)late in the year (L.17)until the night before the essay was due. (LL20-21)when I finished (L.40)next morning (L.42)two days passed (L.42)when I saw him lift my paper from his desk…(L.45)when Mr. Fleagle finished (L.58)3.True or false1). Baker had never thought of becoming a writer until he was in the eleventh grade. (F)As a child in Belleville, he had thought of becoming a writer from time to time.2). Tea chers found it painful to read students’ long and lifeless essays. ( T ).3). Before Mr. Fleagle became the English teacher for Baker’s class, the English course hadbeen interesting. ( F ).From the words “another cheerless year” we can see the English course had been quite boring.4). In Baker’s opinion, Mr. Fleagle was really a formal, rigid and out-of-date teacher onlybecause of Fleagle’s manner of speaking. (F)Besides the manner of speaking, Fleagle’s appearance and dress also showed that he was a dull and rigid teacher.4.Multi-choice1) At first, Baker thought Mr. Fleagle’s English course was _b__.a)interestingb)dullc)hopefuld)attractive2) In Baker’s opinion, the title of the composition “What I did on My Summer Vacation”was _d__.a)dullb)unfruitfulc)difficultd)foolish and dull3) Baker liked to write a composition with the title “ The Art of Eating Spaghetti” because_c__.a)neither Baker nor Doris had ever eaten spaghetti before.b) they argued with each other at the supper.c) it remained him of the pleasure of that evening.d) spaghetti was from Italy and quite new then.4) Which of the following statements is TRUE? _a__.a)You’ll not write a good composition until you like the topic.b)When Baker wrote the essay, he thought his teacher would like it.c)Mr. Fleagle had like Baker’s compositions before.d)Baker succeeded in writing two compositions.5.Questions and answers1. As a student, Baker was long bored by writing compositions. Later, however, hisattitude changed completely. What do you think brought about this change?By reading the text, it seems that the assignment to write an essay led to the change. However, the assignment was still there as it used to be as well asMr. Fleagle. Nothing but his own understanding toward writing an essaychanged.2. Mr. Fleagle says “it’s of the very essence of the essay”, yet he gives no furtherexplanation. Think it over. What does he mean?After reading the class Baker’s essay, Mr. Flealge told the students “it’s of the very essence of the essay”. It was clear enough for the students tounderstand what the essence was. For they enjoued the essay so much thatthey should have got a clue of how to mke the essay. Just like what Baker haddone, to write as the things are and to write for your own joy, might be whatMr. Fleagle wants to illustrate.3. How do you understand the title” Writing for Myself”?To write for oneself may be a good way in making some certain articles such as essay pr poem and so on. For by reading such an essay, the readersexpect of nothing but of the author’s individual feelings toward certainmatters.Ⅳ.

In the United States, work rated C or above is usually required of an undergraduate student to continue his/herstudies; work rated B or higher is usually required of a graduate student to continue. In percentage scales, 100 percent is the highest mark, and 70 percent (or 65 percent) is usually the lowest passing mark.2) students at universitiesA university student who has not yet taken his or her first, or “bachelor’s” degree is an undergraduate. In the United States, a first-year student at a college or university, and in a high school as well, is called a freshman, a second-year student a sophomore, and a third-year student a junior, and a fourth-year student a senior. A student is a person who has completed a university degree course while a postgraduate (or graduate in the United States) is a person doing studies that are done at a university after one has received a first degree.6 Language Study1) Word-processingA) perform: (vi/t) do (a piece of work, sth one is order to do, sth one has agreed to do) 做，履行，完成; 演出，表演Examples:a)As a top student, she performs extremely well in every lesson.b)State-owned industries more often than not perform poorly.Derivative:a) performance:(n) [sing] process or manner of performing做，履行，完成; 演出，表演·To be faithful in the performance of his duties.Differences: act and performAct: 表示“充当、扮演或演出”，主要指演员在电影、戏剧中扮演角色，主语既可为演员，也可为电影、剧本等。

A university or college education helps men and women enjoy richer, more meaningful lives. It prepares many people for professional careers as doctors, engineers, lawyers, or teachers. It also gives a person a better appreciation of such fields as art, literature, history, human relations, and science. In doing so, a university or college education enables individuals to participate with greater understanding in community affairs.Universities differ from colleges in that they are larger, have wider curricula, are involved in research activities, and grant graduate and professional as well as undergraduate degrees.2.

So you’d wait until everyone is served before youeat. But most of the time, if you know each other well you would just go ahead and start. It’s more usual to entertain them at home because it shows your hospitality. We have a lot of barbecues outside, maybe in the garden or maybe at a campsite. But sometimes if you don’t want to cook, you can go to a restaurant. Oh, well, after dessert you’ll have a little talk, then talk some more, have some coffee. Then you’ll say, “Oh well, it’s time for us, we should get going.”And if you don’t then you’re probably going to be rude and stay too late.Activity 3The government announced today that they are going to ban advertisements for junk food duringTV programmes for children under the age of 16. The rules will include any foods that are high in fat, salt and sugar. There will be a total ban on ads during children’s programmes and on children’s channels, as well as adult programmes watched by a large number of children. But there will not be a total ban on all ads for junk food which are shown on television before 9pm. This was thought to be “over the top”by representatives of the food industry.Activity 5The biggest problem is that they aim their ads at young people. One well-known fast food restaurant chain sells hamburgers which come with a free gift, usually a toy which is linked to a newchildren’s film. Other fast food restaurants aim their ads at teenage and college-age men, trying to make their food trendy and, you know, kind of masculine food.Unit 3Inside viewActivity 2Mark’s answers:1 T2 T3 T 4 T 5 T Correct answers:1 T2 F3 T4 F5 TActivity 31 How much do you know about memory?2 He’s got a pretty good memory.3 He can’t remember a thing when he’s tired.4 He read something about memory in it.5 Oh, Mark!
