Step1. Question Discussing for Warming-up (10 minutes)

Step2. Background Information (40 minutes)

1. Naguib Mahfouz——Education & Background(纳吉布?马福兹所受教育和⼀般背景)

Naguib Mahfouz was born on the 11th Dec. 1911 in an old quarter of Cairo, the youngest son of a merchant. He studiedphilosophy at King Faud I (now Cairo) University, graduating in 1934. He worked in university administration and then in1939 he worked for the Mini-stry of Islamic Affairs. He was later Head of the State Cinema Organisation at the Ministry ofCulture. He also worked as a journalist. Although widely translated, his works are not

available in most Middle Eastern countries because of his support of Sadat's Camp David initiative. In 1994 he survived anassassination attempt by Islamic extremists. He is married, has two daughters and lives in Cairo.He died on Aug. 30, 2006.

Naguib Mahfouz —— important works(纳吉布?马福兹的主要著作)●Naguib Mahfouz was the first Arab to win the Nobel prize for literature, in 1988. He has

been described as “a Dickens of the Cairo cafés ”and “the Balzac of Egypt”.

●He is now the author of no fewer than 30 novels, more than 100 short stories, and more than

200 articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world.

●Mahfouz began writing when he was 17. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten

more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for

several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of The Cairo Trilogy in 1957 made himfamous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional

urban life.

●Works of his second writing period:

The Children of Gebelawi (1959)

The Thief and the Dogs (1961)

Autumn Quail (1962)

Small Talk on the Nile (1966)

Miramar (1967)

several collections of short stories.

3. Naguib Mahfouz —— how he pictures the world(作者笔下的世界:⽆尽的拼搏与悲剧

的⼈⽣)The picture of the world as it emerges from the bulk of Mahfouz's work is very gloomy indeed, though not completelydespondent. It shows that the author's social utopia is far from being realized. Mahfouz seems to conceive of time as ametaphysical force of oppression. His novels have consistently shown time as the bringer of change, and change as a verypainful process, and very often time is not content until it has dealt his heroes the final blow of death.

To sum up, in Mahfouz's dark tapestry of the world there are only two bright spots. These consists of man's continuingstruggle for equality on the one hand and the promise of

scientific progress on the other; meanwhile, life is a tragedy.

Step3. Text Appreciation (50 minutes)

1. Structure of the text (10 minutes)

The text can be conveniently divided into three parts. In the first part (para.1-7), we learn about the boy‘s misgivings aboutschool. He found it hard to be away from home and mom, and thought school was punishment. The second part (para.8-16)describes how the boy felt about school. He found that life at school was rich and colorful in many ways, although it alsorequired discipline and hard work. In the last part of the text, the boy walked out of the school to find that the outside worldhad changed beyond measure and that he had grown into an old man.
