Unit3Book2Text AIt is perhaps human nature to be drawn towards fame and wealth.Yet,as Alex Haley points out through his own experience,in order to become successful,one must learn to struggle in the Shadowland of dreams—a deep forest that can swallow up those who swing and hesitate.Only the determined stand a chance of making it.The Shadowland of DreamsAlex Haley1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’s a difference between“being a writer”and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the type-writer.“You’ve got to want to write,”I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”2The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune,there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty.I did.3When I left a20-year career in the Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend with whom I’d grown up in Henning,Tennessee. George found me my home—a cleaned-out storage room in the Greenwich Village apartment building where he worked as superintendent.It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.Immediately I bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.4After a year or so,however,I still hadn’t received a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering,“What if?”I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the Shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.5Then one day I got a call that changed my life.It wasn’t an agent or editor offering a big contract.It was the opposite,a kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dream.On the phone was an old acquaintance from the Coast Guard,now stationed in San Francisco.He had once lent me a few bucks and liked to egg me about it.“When am I going to get the$15,Alex?”he teased.6“Next time I make a sale.”7“I have a better idea,”he said.“We need a new public-information assistant out here,and we’re paying$6,000a year.If you want it,you can have it.”8Six thousand a year!That was real money in1960.I could get a nice apartment,a used car, pay off debts and maybe save a little something.What’s more,I could write on the side.9As the dollars were dancing in my head,something cleared my senses.From deep inside a bull-headed resolution welled up.I had dreamed of being a writer—full time.And that’s what I was going to be.“Thanks,but no,”I heard myself saying.“I’m going to stick it out and write.”10Afterward,as I paced around my little room,I started to feel like a fool.Reaching into my cupboard—an orange crate nailed to the wall—I pulled out all that was there:two cans of sardines.Plunging my hands in my pockets,I came up with18cents.I took the cans and coins and jammed them into a crumpled paper bag.There Alex,I said to myself.There’s everything you’ve made of yourself so fa r.I’m not sure I ever felt so low.11I wish I could say things started getting better right away.But they didn’t.Thank goodness I had George to help me over the rough spots.12Through him I met other struggling artists,like Joe Delaney,a veteran painter from Knoxville,Tennessee.Often Joe lacked food money,so he’d visit a neighborhood butcher who would give him big bones with small pieces of meat,and a grocer who would hand him some withered vegetables.That’s all Joe needed to make his favorite soup.13Another Village neighbor was a handsome young singer who ran a struggling restaurant. Rumor had it that if a customer ordered steak,the singer would dash to a supermarket across the street to buy one.His name was Harry Belafonte.14People like Delaney and Belafonte became role models for me.I learned that you had to make sacrifices and live creatively to keep working at your dreams.That’s what living in the Shadowland is all about.15As I absorbed the lesson,I gradually began to sell my articles.I was writing about what many people were talking about then:civil rights,black Americans and Africa.Soon,like birdsflying south,my thoughts were drawn back to my childhood.In the silence of my room,I heard the voices of Grandma,Cousin Georgia,Aunt Plus,Aunt Liz and Aunt Till as they told stories about our family and slavery.16These were stories that black Americans had tended to avoid before,and so I mostly kept them to myself.But one day at lunch with editors of Reader’s Digest,I told these stories of my grandmother and aunts and cousins.I said that I had a dream to trace my family’s history to the first African brought to these shores in chains.I left that lunch with a contract that would help support my research and writing for nine years.17It was a long,slow climb out of the shadows.Yet in1970,17years after I left the Coast Guard,Roots was published.Instantly I had the kind of fame and success that few writers ever experienced.The shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.18For the first time I had money and open doors everywhere.The phone rang all the time with new friends and new deals.I packed up and moved to Los Angeles,where I could help in the making of the Roots TV mini-series.It was a confusing,exciting time,and in a sense,I was blinded by the light of my success.19Then one day,while unpacking,I came across a box filled with things I had owned years before in the Village.Inside was a brown paper bag.20I opened it,and there were two corroded sardine cans,a nickel,a dime and three pennies. Suddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.I could picture myself once again huddled over the typewriter in that cold,bleak,one-room apartment.And I said to myself,The things in this bag are part of my roots,too.I can’t ever forget that.21I sent them out to be framed.I keep that clear plastic case where I can see it every day.I can see it now above my office desk in Knoxville,along with the Pulitzer Prize,a portrait of nine Emmys awarded to the TV production of Roots,and the Spingarn medal—the NAACP’s highest honor.I’d be hard pressed to say which means the most to me.But only one reminds me of the courage and persistence it takes to stay the course in the Shadowland.22It’s a lesson anyone with a dream should learn.▇课文重点词汇Good Usage(Paras.1-2)Many a young personIn most casesdreaming of wealth and famekissed by fortunenever rewardedlong periods of neglect and povertyGood Usage(Para.3)had no prospects at allworked as superintendentIt didn’t even matter thatGood Usage(Paras.4-5)hadn’t received a breakbegan to doubt myselfbarely made enough to eatputting my dream to the testliving with uncertainty and fear of failureoffering a big contracta kind of siren call tempting me to give up my dreamegg me about itGood Usage(Paras.6-9)make a salepay off debtson the sidethe dollars were dancing in my headsomething cleared my sensesa bull-headed resolution welled upstick it outGood Usage(Para.10)paced around my little roomPlunging my hands in my pocketscame up withThere’s everything you’ve made of yourself so farfelt so lowGood Usage(Paras.11-12)Thank goodnesshelp me over the rough spotsGood Usage(Paras.13-14)Rumor had it thatbecame role models for memake sacrificesGood Usage(Paras.15-16)absorbed the lessonmy thoughts were drawn back to my childhoodtended to avoidmostly kept them to myselftrace my family’s history toGood Usage(Paras.17-18)a long,slow climb out of the shadowsThe shadows had turned into dazzling limelight.I had money and open doors everywherepacked upin a senseblinded by the light of my successGood Usage(Paras.19-20)came acrossSuddenly the past came flooding in like a tide.huddled overGood Usage(Paras.21-22)be hard pressed to sayreminds me of the courage and persistencestay the course in the Shadowlanda lesson anyone with a dream should learnKey Words and Expressions for Text Amany afml many〖正式〗a large number of许多e.g.1.Many a scientist has to work long hours alone in the laboratory and sacrifice a great dealin his or her personal life.2.I’ve sat here many a time and wondered what happened to her.我很多次坐在这里想：她发生了什么事？Usage:注意many a后接名词单数，谓语动词也需要保持一致。

If so, share them with your classmates.Other possible secrets are:find out the learning strategies that best suit oneself;consult more references;do extra reading;take a short break when tired; etc.2) Which is more important to you on your way towards academic excellence, intelligence or diligence (勤奋刻苦)? Why do you think so?Some students will opt for intelligence because some people hold that one can’t be a top student if he / she is not bright enough. Other students may say that diligent work always pays off.3) Do you think parental influence is a very important factor in a child’s academic excellence? Why or why not?Most people will say that good parental influence usually has positive effects on the children because parents are role models and first teachers of their children.4) Do you often participate in group study? Why or why not?People are sometimes divided on this question. Most people are positive towards group study because they learn better by discussing homework and problems together. Some may be negative toward group work, as they feel they are most efficient when studying alone. The attitude toward group work has been proven to be related to one’s personality.↑返回顶部Read and Explore / Text BChecking Your VocabularyWord DetectivePlay detective and find the required word or phrase in Text B according to the clues given.

(Para. 16)May I point out that if we don’t leave now we shall miss the bus?Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) What does the writer mean by “brutal economy”?Para. 2 in the text provides the answer. Studying at college means a huge sum of money to pay for tuition, room and board, books andmany other expenses. A student may have a loan of up to $5,000 when he graduates, and this same student has to work both part-time and full-time whenever possible at college.2) Why are humanities courses not popular with parents?Parents want to make sure that their children have a secure future and they don’t think that humanities subjects with no “practical” value will pay off.3) What are the possible reactions of a student who suffers from peer pressure?Examples of possible reactions include:a. always thinking other students are brighter and study harder;b. studying at the library as late as possible;c. doing homework till early morning;d. getting into a panic when exams are approaching and papers are due;e. getting sick and stuck;f. oversleeping due to tiredness; andg. doing more than expected.4) Who can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from? Professors, parents, and friends can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from, but it is the students themselves who should relieve themselves of the pressures.5) Explain in your own words why, according to the text, economic pressure is closely connected with parental pressure, and peer pressure with self-induced pressure.a. Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when students do get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ advice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.4)T Lawyers, doctors and businessmen usually earn more than most of other people.5) F Students who finish an assignment up to requirements will be given the same credits as those who have done more.(When most students are doing more than they are expected to, those who are doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well.)3 Listed in the left column are the four pressures faced by college students and in the right column are causes or consequences linked to the pressures. Relate the causes or consequences to the types of pressure by following the example given. Some causes or consequences can be related to more than one type of pressure.Types of Pressure Causes or ConsequencesA. economic pressure ( a, d )B. parental pressure a. loans to payb. taking some courses unwillinglyc. taking courses with “practical value”( b, c )C. peer pressure( e, f, g )D. self-induced pressure ( e, f, g )d. heavy tuition fees, expenses on rooms and bookse. thinking some fellow students are working harderf. staying in the library till very lateg. doing more work than required4 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) But there are no villains; only victims. (Para. 1)Nobody is to blame for the pressures college students are suffering; all involved are victims.2) They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. (Para. 4) Many students who are taking pre-medical courses don’t like this major at all.3) They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. (Para. 9)Parents and children are trapped in an age-old struggle between feelings of love, duty and guilt arising out of their different outlooks.4) “Will I get everything done?” (Para. 13)The student is totally worn out and has become suspicious of his / her own ability.5) Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment. (Para. 15) The students who just fulfill what they are asked to do are put at a disadvantaged position.6) The tactic works, psychologically. (Para. 16)Teachers are likely to give a higher credit to students who do more than expected.↑返回顶部Optional Classroom Activities1 Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss each of the following questions.1) Do college students in China suffer from the same pressures mentioned in Text B? Are there any differences?Most students perhaps will say “yes” to this question as the four kinds of pressure mentioned in the text are also felt by Chinese university students. The only significant difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that Chinese university students enjoy more financial support from their parents than their American counterparts.2) What is your major? Who chose this major, you or your parents? Are you happy with your major so far? Give reasons.Answers will vary depending on who the student is and what family background he or she comes from.3) Are you working part time while being a full-time student? If so, why are you working part time? If not, do you think it’s good to work part time while being a full-time student?Some students in China are working part time while being full-time students. Some work because they need money to cover their expenses at college; some work because they think working experience is important for them.2 Sit in groups and discuss with your classmates the learning methods effective in achieving academic excellence you agree with.

Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the box below.▆ Answer for reference:That was a time when life was difficult for everyone. My family could barely get by on my small income from driving a cab. One late night I responded to a call for a cab ride. To my surprise, when I arrived at the address, I found it was a frail old lay who was awaiting me. After she got into the cab, I engaged her in conversation. I learnt that she was going to the hospice. Her doctor said she didn’t have very long. The old lady told me to drive through the downtown area. She pointed at some old buildings, telling me those were the places where she used to work or live. When the cab finally pulled up in front of the hospice, I didn’t accept her fare. In the rest of the day, I was lost in thought. Though I had to make a living, I lived not for the sole purpose of surviving. When circumstances looked gloomy, the small favour I had done could be a candle light. However faint the light was, it managed to warm up a soul and ennobled me as well. I did take pride in that small favour.Theme-Related Writing▆ Do one of the following writing tasks after class.1)Suppose you were Frannie, the head waitress, in Text A. Write a short story about Stevie from yourperspective.2)Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our boss himself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in the truck-stop restaurant where I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removed one week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars as well as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earned made it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sent to a group home. So you can imagine how worried Stevie was when he had to take sick leave for heart surgery. He was afraid that he would lose his job. After the operation, in the week before he returned, he called 10 times to make sure that he could still have the job back. At that time, what concerned me most was how Stevie could handle the huge medical bills.But something happened which completely caught me unawares. Our regular customers, those warm-hearted truckers, were so generous that they, together with their companies, contributed over $10,000 for Stevie. That Thanksgiving Day was a big day when Stevie was back to work and when the money was presented to Stevie as a surprise gift. I cried a bit while people were cheering for the occasion.Now, Stevie is still working here. Our boss thinks that Stevie is the best worker he has ever hired. (240 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus During Rush Hours?I am amazed to read what a blogger says about offering bus seats to the elderly. He claims that “it’s the young who need it more” because they go to work early in the morning and feel exhausted after a day’s work. The blogger also argues that it is unfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides, and further suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.I could never bring myself to agree with the blogger. Taking good care of the elderly is a universally accepted standard of conduct. In my opinion, offering seats to our elders is not just an indication of good manners; it is a moral issue. I always consider it my moral obligation to help others. Yes, you may feel comfortable for a while by remaining in your seat, but you will lose your character and moral values in the long run.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our love and respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them. No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like, and what’s more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus is fully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved. It is through performing such small acts as offering seats to the needy that we learn to contribute to the building of a harmonious society.

Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much horrified Aunt Susan was every day, and how much overjoyed she was to see Uncle Robert back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced, in their daily life, giving and sharing instead of pursuing passion and romance, or making complaints. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.Theme-Related WritingDo either one of the following two tasks after class.1.Based on Text A, write a passage about the different ways different generations handle male-female relationships. The following hints may be of some help.1) “our” parents’ generation (details mainly found in Para. 8);2) “my” generation (details mainly found in Paras. 3–7);3) the younger generation (details mainly found in Paras. 9–11).2.Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girl students. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love and life?”▆Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships. (196 words)▆Sample Essay Two:What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities —Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China NormalUniversity. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfr iend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.

Living together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, we have read different definitions given by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher, and Cicero, a Roman statesman. No one will deny that some people make friends simply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and inspire us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It is with such friends’ company that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.

We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come.Then came the day we were supposed to meet. I was on my beat then. Walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, I saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. Before I could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of Jimmy Wells. When he struck a match to light his cigar, I saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. I recognized him immediately. It was Bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the Chicago Police. For a moment I felt like telling him to escape right away. After all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! But then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. I said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “I’ll wait for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent for a plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.（270 words）▆ Sample essay for task 2:An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever “sunshine and butterflies.” One day, I revealed to him my worries and anxieties: I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.
