Unit 7TEXT IOn Not Answering the TelephoneTextIf, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, "As soon as I know, I'll ring you up", he is taking too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the impossible. So I have to say, "I'm afraid you can't. Y ou see, I'm not on the telephone. I just haven't got a telephone."Why don't I have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don't really like the telephone and because I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don't I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesn't come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, that seems to me really horrible. Y ou would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are half asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavoured with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation your back is chilled by the cold looks of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place.If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, "Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years' time"? Y ou are not. Y ou think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: "Ill news travels apace." I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think of the saying: "The truth will out." It will.Perhaps, when you take off the receiver, you give your number or your name. But you don't even know whom you are giving it to! Perhaps you have been indiscreet enough to have your name and number printed in the telephone directory, a book with a large circulation, a successful book so often reprinted as to make any author envious, a book more in evidence than Shakespeare or the Bible, and found in all sorts of private and public places. It serves you right if you find it impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatterbox, or from somebody who wants something for nothing, or from some reporter bent on questioning you about your own affairs or about the private life of some friend who has just eloped or met with a fatal accident.But, you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn't it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency — illness, accident or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case ofdreadful necessity.Is there any conclusion to be drawn from my obstinacy and wilfulness, my escapism, if you like to call it that? I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. At least I have proved to myself that what many people think necessary is not necessary at all. I admit that in different circumstances — if I were a tycoon, for instance, or bedridden, I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a secretary or taxi-driver I should find a typewriter or a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular aptitude: one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.By William Plomer (abridged)TEXT IIHow to Cope with Y our TelephoneIt's one of the most useful things in the world when it's working properly. But as soon as anything goes wrong or you get a massive bill, it's not such a nice number. Actionwoman has some helpful hints.It's only 6 a. m. and the phone is ringing merrily downstairs. Y ou stumble out of bed and of course it's a wrong number.Well, there's not much you can do about that, but there are steps you can take if it happens again. For a start, if you keep getting wrong numbers your phone could be faulty. So you should get the line checked (dial 151) as soon as possible.On the other hand, putting out early morning calls is some people's idea of a joke. Most of us would take action if we received an obscene call, but this sort of early morning joker often gets away scot-free. While you might turn a deaf ear to it the first time, being bothered like this can be as irritating as getting a heavy breather on the line.It's a sad fact that the people most plagued by any kind of persistent caller are those who have made "news" for some reason — perhaps something as simple as writing a letter or putting an ad in the local paper. Or the phone directory may suggest that they're living on their own in that their name may have a Mrs. or Miss in front of it. That's why the police advise any woman in this situation to stick instead to initials only.If the call is obscene in any way, make a note of the time and then phone the police. If your caller simply likes getting people out of bed, you could still ask the police for their advice —once you've had the line checked, of course. Or get the Post Office to monitor your calls, but you'll probably have to pay ￡5 a quarter plus V A T (unless you have a legal case and the police have asked for it). This means the local operator would ask all callers who they were, giving you the choice of refusing or accepting the call.Or, free of charge, you can simply go ex-directory. And arrange for your number to be listed in special records used only by directory-enquiry operators and given to callers on request. In other words, your friends can still get hold of your number but it doesn't appear in the phone book. From "Actionwoman" column in the magazine Woman。

Part III Cultural Notes
Salesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.

全新版大学英语第三册教案Unit7MakingaLivingUnit 7 Making a LivingObjectivesStudents will be able to:1. understand the main idea (Bill Porter the salesman will never give in) and structure of the text (4parts, 2 flashbacks);2. appreciate the characteristics of journalistic writing;3. grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4. conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.Time AllotmentPre-reading Tasks1. Tasks Ss the following questions on the song:—Why does Onetta think it worthwhile to work hard day after day?(People need her; some people care for her; she keeps her integrity by working hard.)— Would you rather have a low paid job that is interesting or a well-paid job that is boring? 2. Role play: Classroom salesman1) T lets Ss read the title of Text A, then announces that the class is to do a role-play. Onestudent will act as a salesperson. All other students will act as his / her potential customers. 2) T appoints a student with a relatively advanced level of English to act as the salesperson. He /She will leave the classroom, think of a product to sell, and plan his / her sales talk. The product should be relevant to campus life.3. T leads in to the text by saying: From the role-play we know the sale of goods is rather a difficult job. It is even more difficult for a handicapped person, like Bill Porter in Text A. (1 minutes)This article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic writing.First of all, a journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the Journalist would not make any comments to reveal his / her feelings, but simply give the facts.Secondly, an eye-catching beginning helps lure readers to linger more on the story out of an overwhelming number of stories offered by the day's newspaper. For example, at the beginning ofthis story, we learn that it takes our physically deformed hero great efforts to get up so as to do something important, yet what is this something? We are kept in suspense until the fourth paragraph.Thirdly, the vocabulary is simple, the sentences and paragraphs short, sometimes elliptical (see after-exercise on ellipsis). When need (for emphasis, to list a series of rapidly conducted activities, etc. ) arise, a paragraph is as short as one sentence.Lastly, conversations can be transcribed word for word if they illustrate the theme, like the one in the text between Bill Porter and his indecisive female customer.Cultural NotesSalesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.The traveling salesman appeared late in the 19th century both in Europe and in the U.S. The early itinerant peddler carried his goods on his back or on his horse, working his way from a port city through the hinterlands. With the coming of the railroad and the assurance given to sellers by new credit-reporting systems, salesmen with their sample cases moved across the land. Persuasive skill was less important in those days of unsatisfied demand, and orders were readily forth-coming. By 1900, however, with the increasing supply of manufactured goods, buyers became more discriminating in their purchases. Greater attention was given to training the sales force and to providing buyer incentives. The growth of industrialization and urban living led to the development of merchandising as a major business endeavor.The use of sales promotion practices experienced steady growth in the 20th century.The techniques of sales promotion are used both to motivate salespersons to improve their performance and to induce consumers to purchase goods and services. Although sales promotion works most closely with advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, and distribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distribution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories —sales incentive prizes (such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal sales quota.Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store redeemable "money-off” coupons to encourage the trial of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging, contests, and sweepstakes. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participation in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year.Sales promotion, now fully recognized as a vital element in the marketing mix, has become a multibillion dollar industry. In recent years, sales promotion expenditures have exceeded monies spent on advertising and there are strong indications that this pattern of growth will continue to maintain its economic edge.Language Study1. linger: 1) spend a long lime doing sth.Examples: My daughter used to linger long over her meal.There will be no time to linger—the press conference will begin in a few minutes.2) stay for a long time, esp. because one does not want to leaveExamples: It is a dreary little town where few people would choose to linger.He was still lingering around the stadium long after the game was over.2. scar: a mark left on the skin by a wound, bum, etc. after it has healedExamples: It’s easy to recognize the little boy because he has a scar on his left arm.The witness told the police that the criminal had a scar on his forehead.vt. leave a scar onExamples: The burns were so severe that he will be scarred for life.Her face was scarred by smallpox.3.

That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. c 3. a 5. d2. d 4. d 6. bTranslation1.当时我俩并未意识到这一点，但那就是我们之间开始拉开距离的日子，是开始在家庭内部重新界定劳动者的意义的日子。

Unit 7Making a livingⅠ. Suggested Teaching PlanStudents will be able to:1.understand the main idea (Bill Porter the salesman will never give in) and structure of the text (4 parts, 2flashbacks);2.appreciate the characteristics of journalistic writing;3.grasp the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking, and writing activities related to the theme of the unit.1.T asks Ss the following questions on the song: (5 minutes)—Why does Onetta think it worthwhile to work hard day after day? (People need her; some people care for her; she keeps her integrity by working hard.)—Would you rather have a low paid job that is interesting or a well-paid job that is boring?2. Role play: Classroom salesman (25 minutes)1)T lets Ss read the title of Text A, then announces that the class is to do a role-play. One student will act asa salesperson. All other students will act as his / her potential customers.2)T appoints a student with a relatively advanced level of English to act as the salesperson. He / She willleave the classroom, think of a product to sell, and plan his / her sales talk. The product should be relevant to campus life.3)After the salesperson leaves the classroom, T selects several Ss at random. Only they can buy from thesalesperson. All other Ss must come up with an excuse not to buy.4)T invites the salesperson back into the classroom. He / she has 10 minutes to close a deal.5)Ss discuss with their neighbors the qualities of a good salesperson.3. T leads in to the text by saying: From the role-play we know the sale of goods is rather a difficult job. It iseven more difficult for a handicapped person, like Bill Porter in Text A. (1 minutes)1. Text structure (9 minutes)1) Ss scan the text to see if there is any natural division of parts in the text. (Asterisks divide the text into 4parts.)2)Ss read the first paragraph of each part, locate the time words or references to time. (They are: 5:45,7:45, “This is the moment he’s been preparing for since 5:45 a.m.”, after 7 p.m.)3)By then Ss will realize that the text is about a typical day of salesman Bill Porter.2.T explains language points in Parts I - II and gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(25 minutes)3.Ss re-read Parts I - II to find a flashback. Then, by reading the sentences preceding and following theflashback, they will see how skillfully it is woven into the narration. (10 minutes)4.T explains language points in Parts Ⅲ-Ⅳand gives Ss practice (see Language Study).(35 minutes)5.Ss re-read Parts III —IV to find another flashback. Then, by reading the sentences preceding andfollowing the flashback, they will see how skillfully it is woven into the narration. (10 minutes)1. Group discussion (25 minutes)1) Ss form groups to discuss the following questions:—What has Bill Porter been struggling for all his life? Do you think it is worth his efforts?—How do you feel about Bill Porter? Why?—What characteristics of journalistic writing do you find in this article?2)Some groups report to class.3)T explains in more detail the characteristics of journalistic writing (see Text Analysis).2.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (30 minutes)3.T checks on Ss’ home reading (Text B). (3 minutes)4.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)5.T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)1)do the pre-reading task;2)preview Text A.Ⅱ.Text AnalysisThis article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic新疆医科大学外语教研室全新版大学英语三册教案Unit 7writing.First of all, a journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the journalist would not make any comments to reveal his / her feelings, but simply give the facts.Secondly, an eye-catching beginning helps lure readers to linger more on the story out of an overwhelming number of stories offered by the day’s newspaper. For example, at the beginning of this story, we learn that it takes our physically deformed hero great efforts to get up so as to do something important, yet what is this something? We are kept in suspense until the fourth paragraph.Thirdly, the vocabulary is simple, the sentences and paragraphs short, sometimes elliptical (see after-text exercise on ellipsis). When needs (for emphasis, to list a series of rapidly conducted activities, etc.) arise, a paragraph is as short as one sentence.Lastly, conversations can be transcribed word for word if they illustrate the theme, like the one in the text between Bill Porter and his indecisive female customer.Ⅲ. Cultural Notes1. Salesmanship: Sales promotion is an element of the marketing process that can close the sale of goods or services to a potential customer by providing the incentive to make a positive purchasing decision. Sales promotion, advertising, and salesmanship are the major techniques used in merchandising products to the public. Salesmanship often takes the form of a face-to-face encounter between the buyer and seller; the presentation is set up to convince customers that the product on sale is essential to their satisfaction. The lack of personal feedback between buyer and seller is sometimes considered a drawback of the advertising approach. Selling by telephone, although it is significantly less effective than personal selling, is still considered an important method of merchandising. In the 1980s, a growing promotional technique involved in-home shopping programs using cable television channels. In recent years with the help of the Internet online shopping is becoming popular.The traveling salesman appeared late in the 19th century both in Europe and in the U.S. The early itinerant peddler carried his goods on his back or on his horse, working his way from a port city through the hinterlands. With the coming of the railroad and the assurance given to sellers by new credit-reporting systems, salesmen with their sample cases moved across the land. Persuasive skill was less important in those days of unsatisfied demand, and orders were readily forthcoming. By 1900, however, with the increasing supply of manufactured goods, buyers became more discriminating in their purchases. Greater attention was given to training the sales force and to providing buyer incentives. The growth of industrialization and urban living led to the development of merchandising as a major business endeavor. The use of sales promotion practices experienced steady growth in the 20th century.The techniques of sales promotion are used both to motivate salespersons to improve their performance and to induce consumers to purchase goods and services. Although sales promotion works most closely with advertising, it is also related to other elements of marketing: production services, packaging, price, anddistribution. At the manufacturing and wholesale levels of distribution, the methods used to motivate personnel to meet specific goals usually fall into two categories — sales incentive prizes (such as merchandise, travel, or cash awards) and sales contests. Both are based upon the salesperson reaching an objective above the normal sales quota.Consumer promotions encompass a wide variety of techniques, including sampling of goods or services, store redeemable “money-off’ coupons to encourage the trial of products, special price-reduced packages, mail-in premium merchandise offers, cash or coupon refunds by mail, special product packaging, contests, and sweepstakes. During recessionary periods, when the demand for consumer expendable dollars becomes more competitive, there is greater participation in refund, coupon, and premium offers. More than half the households in the U.S. take advantage of some sales promotion offers each year.Sales promotion, now fully recognized as a vital element in the marketing mix, has become a multibillion dollar industry. In recent years, sales promotion expenditures have exceeded monies spent on advertising and there are strong indications that this pattern of growth will continue to maintain its economic edge.Ⅳ.
