Lesson Three:Hans Christian Andersen’s own fairy tale(2)汉斯克里斯琴安徒生自已的童话Donald and Louise Peattie 这只鸭圈里飞出的天鹅所讲的故事老少皆宜,虽然故事使用的是孩子们能听懂的语言、孩子们喜闻乐见的情节,但却又包含生活真谛、寓意深长。
功成名就的“丑小鸭” 一如既往,保持着他那平常、善良的心态,对权贵不卑不亢,对以往没有善待他的人不计前嫌。
他把爱献给上帝,献给人类。
1 In Copenhagen, Hans Christian lived in an attic in an old house, where he had a good view of the city. But there was one big fact that he could not see right under his own nose. The plays and poetry that he wrote were not very good.译:汉斯克里斯琴住在哥本哈根的一间破房子的阁楼上,从那里他可以清楚地看到这坐城市。
但是就在他眼前的一个明显事实他却没有看见他写的剧本世纪诗歌并不理想。
2 Hans Christian made friends with a few kind people. Among them was Jonas Collin of the Royal Theater. This kind man collected funds from friends to send the young writer to school. Hans felt most at ease with children. He ate his dinner in turn at the homes of six friends. In each home the children begged him for stories.译:汉斯克里斯琴结交了几位心地善良的朋友,其中有皇家戏院的乔纳斯和科林。
Clearing in the sky“走这条路,杰斯。
”父亲用手杖指着我们脚下的深谷说,“我想让你看一样东西!”“天这么热,你走这么长的路,身体吃得消吗?”咸咸的汗水弄疼了我的眼睛,我伸手擦去滑到脸上的汗水我真不想跟着他再走下去了。
我刚刚从自己家中背了一篮子食物爬了半英里的山路,到父亲家送给妈妈。
我可是知道这天儿有多热,我也知道在过去的几个月中父亲找了8位医生,他们都告诫他不要走长路。
但是我可阻止不了他,当他下定决心做某件事时,他就一定要做到。
他可不在乎是炙热逼人的酷暑还是寒风凛冽的严冬。
我们下了山,走在位于牧场和草场之间的小径上。
突然,他停下脚步,掏出一把小折刀,割了一把苜蓿草,把它举在阳光中。
“看看这儿,杰斯!”他自夸地说,“你可曾见过长得这么好的苜蓿吗?”“它的确是我见过的最好的牧草。
”我说。
“当初我买这块地的时候,人们都说我疯了,”他又骄傲地说,“我花了30年的工夫,才使这地长出这么好的草!”站在这位于两山之间的牧场上,看着茂盛的苜蓿,我回想起父亲是怎样从大树上摘下叶子,把它们撒在地里,又用犁把叶子翻到土壤下面,让它们腐烂。
当父亲买这块地的时候,地里只长着松树和荆棘,那些松树只长到齐腰高。
由于土地贫瘠无法使它们长得更高,因此父亲砍倒松树,翻耕了地。
他播了一遍覆盖作物,翻到土下以增进土壤肥力,然后他又播种了好多遍,几年以后,我们获得了玉米、土豆和小麦的丰收。
“但这并不是我想让你看的,杰斯。
”父亲说,“跟我来,往前走。
”我跟着他穿过草场的门,走下山坡,沿着一条羊肠小道走进深深的山谷。
“我们要往哪儿去?”看见父亲要走上横跨小溪的独木桥时,我赶紧问他。
他笑了,用手指着一个树木葱郁的山尖,“那儿,那就是我们要去的地方。
”独木桥是父亲用砍倒的一棵白橡树,架在深深的溪水之上搭成的。
我跟着他跨过小溪。
接着,我们走上一条蜿蜒曲折的小路,穿行在高高的山胡桃树下。
我小时候,常和父亲来这里捕捉松鼠,不过那已是将近30年前的事了,在那时,我经常走过这坎坷的山坡。
Lesson Three Goods Move. People Move. Ideas Move.And Cultures Change.Teaching hours: 6Teaching requirements: Build the students’ vocabulary power. Help the students to get the general ideas of the text about globalization and understanding of the various aspects related to globalization; Cultivating a sense of global awareness; Build the students’ writing skills by analyzing the rhetorical device of contrast and careful choice of words.Key points of teaching: a more perceptive understanding on globalization by learning the text; writing style analysis of the typical piece of journalistic writingTeaching contents1. Pre-class work1.1 Background Information1) Erla Zwingle: former National Geographic editor. I am a freelance journalist and have been writing for many magazines for several decades, on subjects ranging from photography to sports to people, places, and things. I have traveled from the slums of India and Sao Paulo to private clubs in Saint-Moritz, and met people from geologists studying nuclear waste storage to farmers harvesting their olives for oil. Muslims in Norway, environmental activists in Greece, art restorers in Italy—I'm used to meeting people and I love learning new things.2) Culture: the totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought; the ideas, beliefs and customs that are shared by people in a society; all the arts, beliefs, social institutions etc. characteristic of a community or a race.Activity 1: Identify and explain what culture is. What is culture? Discuss. [Culture is a way of life shared by a group. It is a learned behavior, passed on by each generation. Culture embraces a people’s lifestyle, values, and beliefs.] Ask students to list items they think are part of culture [e.g., music, literature, art, religion, traditions, dress, food, architecture, education, government] gather information and write a definition of what culture is.•3) Globalization refers to the increasing unification of the world's economic order through reduction of such barriers to international trade as tariffs, export fees, and import quotas. It describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through communication, transportation, and trade. The term can also refer to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages, or popular culture through acculturation.Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, onpolitical systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. Globalization is deeply controversial, however. Proponents of globalization argue that it allows poor countries and their citizens to develop economically and raise their standards of living, while opponents of globalization claim that the creation of an unfettered international free market has benefited multinational corporations in the Western world at the expense of local enterprises, local cultures, and common people. Resistance to globalization has therefore taken shape both at a popular and at a governmental level as people and governments try to manage the flow of capital, labor, goods, and ideas that constitute the current wave of globalization.Activity 2:Examine and analyze how technology influences the spatial processes of cultural convergence and divergence. Have students examine and analyze how communications and transportation technologies contribute to cultural convergence (i.e., how electronic media, computers, and jet aircraft connect distant places in a close network of contact through cross-cultural adaptation). How do they see themselves in this convergence? Students should draw a map and write an essay reflecting their findings. They should address the question: How does the role of technology affect the ways in which culture influences spread and influence the way people live?1.2 Questions for discussionWhat’s the author’s attitude towards globalization?Do you think globalization equals to Americanization?What’s your reaction to th e changed culture? Are you ready for this challenge?1.3 Synonyms for globalization: mixing, merging, fusion, blending2. Detailed study of the text2.1 Reading for the main ideaGlobalization is an inevitable historical process. There will be a diversity of cultures coexisting in the world, and these cultures are brought together not only by technology or business but more importantly by common aspiration and shared values. (Globalization will not lead to Americanization but a coexistence of transformed culture made possible by common aspiration and shared values of human beings.)2.2 Language pointssmallish: fairly smallseedy: shabby, rundownthrift shop: a shop that sells used articles, especially clothing, as to benefit a charitable organizationcatch on: become popular and fashionableoriginal: not derived from something else; fresh and unusual; newcome up with: think of an idea, plan or reply; producepunk: a type of loud violent music popular in the late 1970s and 1980smorph: turn into variants form without changing the essencegeek: performer of grotesque or depraved actschunky: short and thicktile: a marked playing piece, as in mahjong2.3 Text analysis⏹This is a piece of argumentation.

What is new is the speed and scope of changes.•Part II (Paras. 4-6) This part deals with different views on globalization.•Part III (Paras. 7-9) Three points are made in this part: 1) Westernization is not a straight road to hell, or to paradise either. 2) Cultures are resourceful, resilient and unpredictable as thepeople who compose them. 3) Teenagers are one of the powerful engines of merging global cultures.Part I•Part I (Paras. 1-3) Globalization is a reality but it is not something completely new.

Here the author points out that globalization is a world movement and a movement of reformation of cultures. She does not say merging of cultures but reformation of cultures, indicating the cultures in the world will continue to exist but they will not be the same.•Yet globalization, as one report stated, “is a reality, not a choice”.Yet globalization is not something that you can accept or reject, it is already a matter of life which you will encounter and have to respond to.Why does the author say that “…is a reality, not a choice?==•Globalization is not something that you can accept or reject, it is already a matter of life which you will encounter and have to respond to every day.cultures change•How do cultures change in the eyes of the writer ?Para3/4/5/8/35/36Para3./1Still, the basic dynamic remains the same: Goods move.

Lesson threeSection oneTask 1 Do not say it that wayConversation oneClerk: Hello, sir. What can I do for you?Customer: Hi. Uh ... I have this ... uh ... cassette player (Mm-hmm.) here tha t I bought aboutsix months ago. And it just ruined four of my favourite casset tes.Clerk: Oh dear, I'm sorry.Customer: So I ... um ... wanted you to fix it.

Your warranty's expired.Customer: Well, it ... uh ... ran out ten days ago, but I'm sure that you'll ... y ou'll ... fix themachine for free, because the machine was obviously defectiv e when I bought it. I ...Clerk: I'm sorry, sir. Your warranty has run out. There's nothing I can do.Customer: No. No, look. No. I didn't drop it off a building or anything. I mean , what differencecan ten days make? I mean you ... you can—Clerk: Sir, I'm sorry, we have the six-month rule for a reason. We can't ...Customer: Well, but you can bend the rule a little bit.Clerk: ... make an exception for you. Then we'll have to make an exception for everybody.(Well, but look ...) You could say it's only a month, it's only two months.Customer: I just lost twenty dollars worth of tapes.Clerk: Sir, I'm sorry, it's too late.Customer: It actually ate the tapes. I mean, they're destroyed. I mean—Clerk: Well, s ir, you knew (I ...) when your warranty ran out. You should (We ll ...) have broughtit in before. It was (Well ... look ...) guaranteed for six mo nths. I'm sorry, there's nothing I cando.Customer: Paying for this is adding insult to injury. I mean, surely you're goi ng to make goodon this cassette player. It's ... it's ... it's a good cassette play er, but it's just defective. I mean,I can't pay for this.Clerk: Well, s ir, I'm sorry, you should have brought it in earlier.Customer: But surely you won't hold me to ten days on this.Clerk: Sir, the rules are the rules. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. Conversation twoNorma:you know ,Brian ,it does not look like you have vacuuemed or cleaned the bathroom.Brian: No, I haven't. Ugh. I had the worst day. I am so tired. Look, I promise I'll do it thisweekend.Norma: Listen, I know the feeling. I'm tired, too. But I came home and I did my share of thehousework. I mean, that's the agreement, right?Brian: All right. We agreed. I'll do it in a minute.Norma: Come on. Don't be that way. You know,(What?) I shouldn't have to ask you to doanything. I mean, we both work, we both live in the house, we agreed that housework is ... isboth of our responsi bility. I don't like to have to keep reminding you about it. It makes me feellik e an old nag or something.Brian: Sometimes you are an old nag.Norma: Oh, great!Brian: No, it's just that I don't notice when things get dirty like you do. Look, all you have to dois tell me, and I'll do it.Norma: No, I don't want to be put in that position. I mean, you can see dirt a s well as I can.Otherwise—I mean, that puts all the responsibility on me.Brian: It's just that cleanliness is not a high priority with me. There are oth er things I wouldmuch rather do. Besides, the living room floor does not look that dirty.Norma: Brian.Brian: Okay, a couple crumbs.Conversation threeBob: Mr. Weaver, I have been with this company now for five years. And I've always been veryloyal to the company. And I feel that I've worked quite hard here. And I've neverbeen promoted. It's getting to the point now in my life where, you know, I ne ed more money. Iwould like to buy a car. I'd like to start a family, and maybe buy a house, all of which is impossible with the current salary you're paying me.Mr. Weaver: Bob, I know you've been with the company for a while, but raise s here are basedon merit, not on length of employment. Now, you do your job adequately, b ut you don't do itwell enough to deserve a raise at this time. Now, I've told you before, to ear n a raise you needto take more initiative and show more enthusiasm for the job. Uh, for insta nce, maybe find away to make the office run more efficiently.Bob: All right. Maybe I could show a little more enthusiasm. I still think that I work hard here.But a company does have at least an obligation to pay its employees enough to live on. Andthe salary I'm getting here isn't enough. The rent's rising. The price of food is going up. There flation is high, and I can barely cover my expenses.Mr. Weaver: Bob, again, I pay people what they're worth to the company, no w, not what theythink they need to live on comfortably. If you did that the company would go out of business.Bob: Yes, but I have ... I have been here for five years and I have been very loyal. And it'sabsolutely necessary for me to have a raise or I cannot justify keeping this job any more.Mr. Weaver: Well, that's a decision you'll have to make for yourself, Bob. Task 2 marriage customsHere is an extract from a radio talk on marriage customs in different parts of the world by Professor Robin Stuart:Despite the recent growth in the number of divorces, we in the West still ten d to regardcourtship and marriage through the eyes of a Hollywood producer. For us it's a romanticbusiness. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy asks girl to marry him , girl accepts.Wedding, flowers, big celebration.But in other parts of the world things work differently. In India, for instance, arranged marriageis still very common. An intermediary, usually a married lady, learns that a yo ung man wishes toget married and she undertakes to find him a suitable bride. The young coup le meet for the first time on the day of the wedding.In Japan, too, arranged marriages still take place. But there things are organ ized in a differentway. A girl wishes to find a husband, and the girl's mother, or an aunt perhap s, approaches themother of a suitable young man and the young couple are introduced. They ge t a chance tohave a look at one another and if one of them says 'Oh, no, I could never ma rry him or her',they call the whole thing off. But if they like one another, then the wedding goes ahead.In parts of Africa, a man is allowed to have several wives. Now that sounds fi ne from the man'spoint of view, but in fact the man is taking on a great responsibility. When he takes a new wifeand buys her a nice present, he has to buy all his other wives presents of equ al value and,although we are obviously speaking of a male-dominated society , the wives often become veryclose and so, if there is a disagreement in the family, the husband has threeor four wives to argue with instead of just one.Now, most listeners, being used to the Western style of courtship and marria ge, will assumethat this is the best system and the one with the greatest chance of producin g aHappymarriage. But pause and reflect. Marriage must always be something of a ga mble. Going outwith somebody for six months is very different from being m arried to them for six years.It is true that American women, brought up in the United States, who married Africans andwent to live in Africa, have sometimes found it exceedingly difficult to assum e the role of thewife of an African living in Africa. However, my observations have led me to b elieve that variousforms of arranged marriage have just as much chance of bringing happiness t o the husbandand wife as our Western system of choosing marriage partners.Section twoTask 1 at the dentist’sDentist: There we are. Now, open wide. Now, this won't hurt a bit. You won't feel at hing.Patient: Aaaagh!Dentist: Come along, now. Open your mouth. I can't give you the injection with your mouth closed, can I?Patient: I ... I ... I don't want an injection. I hate needles.Dentist: But it won't hurt you, I promise. None of us likes injections but some times they're necessary.Patient: It will hurt, I know.Dentist: Not at all. Look, I often deal with little children and they never comp lain; they're always very brave. Now, open wide.Patient: I don't want an injection.Dentist: But how else can I take out your tooth? It would hurt even more wit hout an injection,wouldn't it? And the reason we're taking it out is because it 's hurting you, isn't it? Once you'vehad an injection and I've taken out the to oth you won't have any more pain at all. So let's bebrave. Open wide.Patient: Aaaagh.Dentist: But I haven't touched you yet. What are you shouting for?Patient: You're going to touch me.Dentist: Well, of course I am. I can't give you an injection without touching you. As soon asyou've had the injection your gum will freeze and you won't feel a thing.Patient: How do I know what you'll do while I'm asleep? You might rob me.Dentist: Now, let's not be silly. You won't go to sleep. We don't do that nowa days. This will justfreeze the area around the tooth so that you can't feel any pain while I'm pul ling out the tooth.That's all. You won't go to sleep. You can watch everything I do in that mirror above you. Come along now.Patient: I don't want to watch. I'll faint.Dentist: Then don't look in the mirror. But there won't be a lot of blood. I pro mise you.Patient: Blood! Blood! Why did you have to say that? I can't afford lose an y blood.Dentist: Now let's not be silly. You can't take out a tooth without losing some blood.Patient: Blood ...!Dentist: But it's a tiny amount. You'll make it up in a day.Patient: A night.Dentist: All right, in a night, then. But as I said it's only a small amount of blo od ...Patient: Blood! Blood!Dentist: ... and it isn't going to kill you.Patient: Kill! Kill!Dentist: Oh, don't be silly; of course it won't. You can't die from having a toot h pulled out.Patient: Die! Die!Dentist: I shall get cross in a minute.Patient: Cross! Cross!Dentist: Now look, I've had just about enough of this. You come in here screa ming in pain,saying that you've been in agony all night because you bit on a bone or something, and youask me to do something to stop the pain but the minute I do try to do someth ing you won't letme. Now, just what exactly am I expected to do? You're a grown man and I' m a very busy lady.I have a lot of patients waiting in the other room and you' re taking up my time, which is veryexpensive. Now, pull yourself together and let's get on with it.Patient: I can't. Couldn't you just give me some painkillers?Dentist: Well, I could, but that isn't going to solve the problem. On the other hand, perhapsthat's the best thing if you're so nervous about me doing the extraction toda y. Yes, perhapsthat's best. You take some painkillers and let's make an appointment for next week when you'refeeling less nervous. Now, which day would you like, Mr. ...? Sorry I didn't cat ch your name.Patient: Dracula.Task2 hiccupsMan: Rose (hic). Rose (hic). Rosemary. Can (hic) can you (hic) help me?Rosemary: What's the mater?

I play drums be cause (pause) I want to play drums.Task 2 dictationSleepIt's clear that everyone needs to sleep. Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep,however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don't sleep enough, we often feeltired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest a nd emotional orpsychological rest. We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are imp ortant in order forus to be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passivesleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that's needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. T he brain rests,then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is rep eated: the brain rests, then itbecomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times th roughout thenight. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total of one and half ho urs on the average.。

It exists to promote a free-market international trade system. The WTO promotes trade by:1. reducing tariffs; 关税2. prohibiting import or export bans or quotas; 限额3. eliminating discrimination against foreign products and services;4. eliminating other impediments障碍to trade, commonly called "non-tariff trade barriers".非关税壁垒The WTO currently has 134 member countries, accounting for over 90% of world trade.Over 30 others are negotiating membership. The WTO's top level decision-making body is the ministerial conference which meets at least once every two years. Over three-quarters of WTO members are developingcountries. Special provisions条款for these members are included in the WTO agreements. GATT is now the WTO's principal rule book.Decisions are made by the entire membership by consensus一致意见or majority vote. The WTO's agreements have been ratified in all members' parliaments. If a trade barrier is found to be unfair, the WTO can authorize the imposition of trade sanctions 国际制裁to force a change in that country's law. The WTO exempts trade barriers which are designed to conserve natural resources or protect health.Critics say the WTO agreements are skewed倾斜in favor of rich countries. The West may preach trade liberalization, but it has used negotiations to prize撬动third world markets while keeping its own barriers intact. 原封不动的II.

He explained that the "New 哇Economy" refers to the kind of economy initiated and sustained by new technologies and hi-tech industries. "The advancement of technology, led by IT and bio-technology industries, is giving rise to a new industrial revolution", Jiang said.Developing countries are faced with the difficult tasks of both transforming their traditional industries and developing new industries, Ji'ang noted, adding that the continued expansion of the "digital divide"数字化引起的分化has widened the wealth gap between North and South and may trigger new imbalances in the world economy."Against the background of accelerated economic globalization and the dynamic progress of science and technology, we must facilitate cooperation between developedand developing countries on exchanges of human resources, technology and infrastructure基础设施, and we must help countries develop independently to narrow the North-South gap.""Today, the development, application and impact of science and technology far transcend national boundaries.

Only when applied in a global context can the achievements of science and technology benefit people", Jiang said.
