Section AHeroes among usI.Warming-up activities1.Who is the greatest hero in your mind? And Why?•Huang Jiguang, Qiu Shaoyun, Dong Cunrui… (combat heroes who sacrificed their own lives to fulfill the operational mission)•Wu Juping (the most beautiful mother), Zhang Lili (the most beautiful teacher)…(civilian heroes who risked their own lives to save others in modern times)• 2.What makes a hero in your eyes?• A good heart•The readiness to lend a hand to people in trouble•The courage to risk one’s own life to help others in danger•The determination to fight for his own country and peopleII .Background information1.Joseph John Campbell was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion.His famous book The Hero with a Thousand Faces retells dozens of stories and explains how each represents the hero’s journey.2.Katniss Everdeen is a fictional character and the protagonist of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy.3.Frodo Baggins is a fictional character in J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.III.Analysis of the whole text structureText A is an essay on people’s view about what makes a hero.It is pointed out that in the past the word “hero”was reserved for those who performed acts of courage beyond the call of duty or for great leaders, while today heroes can be ordinary people like us.Besides, first responders, whose duty is to rush toward danger, are also heroes, even when their efforts failed to bring about desirable effects.Hopefully, we will also act heroically when circumstances call on us.This text can be roughly divided into four parts.Part I — (Para.1)Today the word “hero”becomes more common and is used to refer to both victims and survivors of all kinds of difficulties and tragedies.Part II —(Paras.2-4)Both Daniel and Dory are civilian heroes as they acted instinctively with courage and grace when situations call for.Para.III —(Paras.5-12)First responders are heroes no matter they succeed in their effort to save people or get injured or killed in their efforts.Para.IV —(Para.13)The stories of heroes help remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things and, being inspired by them, we can also be heroes when circumstances call on us to act heroically.nguage focus1)Practical phrases1.apply pressure to / on 按压, 给…施加压力你可以按压伤口让血流的慢些。

Analysis of the whole text structureText A is an essay on people’s view about what makes a hero. It is pointed out that in the past the word “hero” was reserved for those who p erformed acts of courage beyond the call of duty or for great leaders, while today heroes can be ordinary people like us. Besides, first responders, whose duty is to rush toward danger, are also heroes, even when their efforts failed to bring about desirable effects. Hopefully, we will also act heroically when circumstances call on us. This text can be roughly divided into four parts.Part I —Today the word “hero” becomes more common and is used to refer to both victims and survivors of all kinds of difficulties and tragedies.Part II — (Paras. 2-4)Both Daniel and Dory are civilian heroes as they acted instinctively with courage and grace when situations call for.Para. III — (Paras. 5-12)First responders are heroes no matter they succeed in their effort to save people or get injured or killed in their efforts.Para. IV — (Para. 13)The stories of heroes help remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things and, being inspired by them, we can also be heroes when circumstances call on us to act heroically.IV.
