Cindy is a short form of Cynthi which comes from the Greek, “Kynthos”, the name of the Greek moon goddess Artemis who was named after the mountain Kynthos on which she and her twin brotherApollo were presumably born.②The BibleA collection of sacred texts usually regarded as a unified whole and published as a book consisting of a number of books. For Christians these are in two groups, an Old Testament (OT), whose original texts are Hebrew (and some Aramaic), and a New Testament (NT), whose original texts are Greek. The first five OT books are known in Hebrew as the Torah (instruction, law) and in Greek as the Pentateuch (five scrolls). The term testament reflects the Christian belief that God made two covenants with humanity, the first with the Hebrews as a chosen people, the second with the followers of Jesus Christ. When, in the 4–5c, St Jerome translated OT Hebrew and NT Greek into one language, Latin, the Christian scriptures in the West acquired a linguistic homogeneity that strengthened perceptions of the Bible as a single text providing an unbroken account of events and prophecies.2. Pre-reading ActivitiesListen to this short passage twice and answer questions①What are some of the ways names can make a difference?②In what way can teachers be guilty of name prejudice?③What does the writer suggest you do if your name does not suit you?听力原文：This writer describes ways names can make a difference. When one woman used her middle name, she felt better and her professional achievement improved. A magazine refused to print the writer’s name because it suited a baseball player more than an art expert. At a party, another woman was uncomfortable: the man she wanted the writer to introduce her to was the same one she had refused a blind date because of his name. The writer thinks we often assign name prejudices to people. One of his friends described working with some four-year-olds, and exchanging two boys’ personalities because of their names. One classroom study showed teachers give lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed. Similarly, girls’popularity can relate to their names, so the writer suggests if your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.Answers:①What are some of the ways names can make a difference?A good name can make one more confident. Furthermore, names attach to specific images and people often assign name prejudices to others.②In what way can teachers be guilty of name prejudice?Teachers give lower grades to essays written by boys with certain names than to the very same essays with only the names changed.③What does the writer suggest you do if your name does not suit you?If your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.3.Work on Section AA) Structure of the Text (a method of analyzing the text structure is employed)Part I (Paras. 1-2)When using her middle name, Lynne, Debbie felt better and her professional achievement improved.Part II (Paras. 3-5)Names are attached to specific images and names with a positive sense can work for you.Part III (Paras. 6-7)People often assign name prejudices to others.Part IV (Para. 8)If your name doesn’t suit you, you can change your name.B) Raise some questions to make students grasp some detailed information in the text (question and answer method is used)Part I (Paras. 1-2):Questions: -Why did Debbie not feel like her name?-How did she change her name?- What contributed to Debbie’s success?Answers: - Her name has always made her think she should be a cook.(Para. 1)-While filling out an application form for a publishing job, Debbie impulsively substituted her middle name, Lynne, for her first name .( Para. 2)-The name change contributed to her success by adding a bit of self-confidence to her talent. (Para. 3)Part II (Paras. 3-5)Decide whether the following statements are True or False:1.) One prominent magazine constantly refused to print ―Joe‖ in my by-line, because the name is too average. (T)2.) One woman the writer knows turned down a blind date because the man was dull. (F) Question: Why was the woman ill at ease?Answer: Because the man she wanted the writer to introduce her to was the same one she had refusedPart III (Paras. 6 -7)Decide whether the following statements are True or False:1.) A boy named Julian likes to play ball while a boy named Rory prefers sitting quietly and reading books.(T)2.)

(T) Part IV (Para. 8)Question: How can you do if you are not satisfied with your name?Answer: With determination, I can change my name.4. Language PointsPart I (Paras 1-3)①As His Name Is, So Is He!

新视野英语第二册课文翻译Unit6第一篇：新视野英语第二册课文翻译 Unit 6Unit 6Text A小提琴盒里的生活1为了让你了解我的信念，我必须简单地说一说我的个人历史。
2我的人生转折点是我决定放弃前途无量的经商生涯去学习音乐。
虽然父母也能理解我，但他们不同意我把音乐当作一种职业。
从我的家庭背景来看，我想这也是可以理解的。
3我的祖父在斯普林希尔学院教了近40年的音乐。
虽然他在社会上备受尊敬，可他几乎赚不到足够的钱来供养一大家子人。
我父亲经常说，多亏了我祖母勤俭持家，他们才得以勉强维持生计。
4家里有了这个先例，后来只要一提到一音乐为生，我们就想到朝不保夕的生活。
父母坚持要我上大学而不是音乐学校，所以我就上了大学.5我从哥伦比亚大学毕业之前，家里经济上出了点问题，所以我感到自己有义务离开学校去找份工作。
于是我就稀里糊涂地开始了经商生涯---我认为，那是自己一生当中的蹉跎岁月。
6当然，我一点都没有贬低经商的意思；我的意思只是说经商不适合我。
我是为了钱才去经商的，而且，除了因为能够帮助家庭而得到的满足感之外，钱就是我经商所得到的一切。
这还远远不够。
我觉得生命在离我而去。
我变得很忧伤。
我的目的就是攒够钱后停止经商，然后去欧洲学习音乐。
7我那时常常一大清早起来练琴，然后去“市中心”工作。
我不和同事们一起吃中饭，而是找一家便宜的小餐馆，点一分简单便宜的午餐。
我不停地赚钱，终于一点点地攒够了出国的钱。
8那时，家里不再需要我帮助，所以我放弃了工作，坐船去了欧洲。
我在那儿呆了4年，发奋学习，用工的程度是我以前做梦都想不到的，而且每一分钟都过得很开心。
9说真的，“开心”这个词环不足以表达我的心情；我简直是陶醉了。
这才是真正的生活。
我成了一个自由的人，我在做我喜欢和该做的事情。
10如果一直经商的话，我今天可能已经是一个真正的有钱的人了。
然而，我并不认为那样的生活会是成功的。
我可能放弃掉了金钱所无法买到的幸福---当一个的主要目标是赚钱时，这种幸福往往就被放弃掉了。
