六、The Right to Fail1、I like ―dropout‖as an addition to the American language because it‘s brief and it‘s clear. What I don‘t like is that we use i t almost entirely as a dirty word.我喜欢―中途退出者‖这个加入美语的词汇,因为它简洁明了。
我所不喜欢的是我们几乎完全把它作为一个禁忌词语使用。
2、We only apply it to people under twenty-one. Yet an adult who spends his days and nights watching mindless TV programs is more of a dropout than an eighteen-year-old who quits college, with its frequently mindless courses, to become, say, a VISTA‘ valunteer. For the young, dropping out its often a way of dropping in.我们只把它用在21岁以下的人身上。
与一个中途离开大学、避开那些毫无思想内容的课程,志愿参加为美国服务志愿队(VISTA)的18岁青年相比,一个整天整夜看不需要动脑筋的电视节目的成年人更是半途而废的人。
而对于年轻人来说这是以退为进。
3、To hold this opinion, however is little short of treason in America. A boy or girl who leaves college is branded a failure-and the right to fail is one of the few freedoms that this country does not grant its citizens. The American dream is a dream of ―getting ahead,‖ painted in strokes of gold wherever we look. Our advertisements and TV commercials are a hymn to material success, our magazine articles a toast to people who made it to the top. Smoke the right cigarette or drive the right car-so the ads imply-and the girls will be swooning into your deodorized arms or caressing your expensive lapels Happiness goes to the man who has sweet smell of achievement. He is our national idol, and everybody else is our national fink.然而在美国,持有这种观点差不多就是背叛。

Background Informationa. Introduction to the AuthorEllen Goodman is a Pulitzer-prize-winning columnist, author, speaker, and commentator who refuses to call herself a pundit. Ellen has long been a chronicler of social change in America, especially the women’s movement and its effects on our public and private lives. She frequently pens newspaper columns on such topics as feminism, child rearing, divorce, alternative lifestyles, and gardening. Although Goodman once appealed principally to women, her essays now interest readers of both sexes who are, in the words of New York Times critic John Leonard, “full of gratitude for having been introduces to a witty and civilized human being in a vulgar and self-pitying decade.”b. Information Related to the TextEthnic Identity refers to one’s sense of belonging to an ethnic group and the part of one’s thinking, perceptions, feelings, and behavior that is due to ethnic group membership. The ethnic group tends to be one in which the individual claims heritage. Ethnic identity is separate from one’s personal identity as an individual, although the two may reciprocally influence each other. There are 4 major components of ethnic identity, that is, ethnic awareness (understanding of one’s own and other groups),ethnic self-identification (label used for one’s own group), ethnic attitudes (feelings about one’s own and other group) and ethnic behaviors (behavior patterns specific to an ethnic group).Kaffeeklatsch is a German phrase translating literally as “coffee chat”. This is the type of casual conversation, small talk and especially gossip enjoyed by people who meet in the afternoon for a cup of coffee. Kaffeeklatsch is also used to describe such a gathering itself. Several student newspapers, journals and arts councils utilize the term as a means of describing the informally hosted meetings of influential members at coffee shops and cafes near their home university. It is occasionally used in a more specific and derogatory sense to mean a group of people who waste time talking rather than doing. 咖啡会(一种非正式聚会)c. Pre-reading QuestionsLead-in questionsPurposes:1. To present key words and phrases related to working community2. To encourage students to think about the theme of the coming text, i.e. the rapidly changing society and the change of the concept “community”3. To arouse students’ interest in the topic of the coming text4. To develop students’ skill in predicting the main idea of the textSteps:1.The teacher can divide the class into groups of 4/5.2.Students can be given 2-3 minutes to discuss the following questions.·What does community mean to you in China?·How do you define community in your life?·In what ways are communities important to society?3.Each group should have a reporter to report the result of their discussion to thewhole class.Methodology:1. The purpose of pre-reading activity is to arouse students’ interests in the topic ofthe text and prepare them to read the text actively. It may be very easy for your students to give a definition to community geographically, but to define it socially is more difficult. If you encourage students to think carefully about the change of the concept, they will probably hit upon the central idea and the main purpose of the coming article.2.In order to get the whole class involved, group work is recommended. If time permits, you can ask each group to report to the class what they have discussed.Period 2-5While-reading activitya. The organization of the text·The Gist of the ArticleThe author of this article mainly argues that People’s jobs or professions have made them become members of certain communities.In the past few years, people have transferred the major portion of their lives from home to office. Thus the sense of community has shifted from neighborhood to workplace. In modern society, people are busy with their work and spend most part of their time in their workplaces. The towns where they are living become the places only for sleeping. The afternoon gathering for friends to have a casual conversation and to sip coffee, which was popular in the fifties, has also been enjoyed by people in the eighties during their break at work. The sense of community has not only shifted from our neighborhood to our workplace, but also stretched to the profession we enter. The immigrant grandparents came to America with their original ethnic identities. They assumed they had something in common with people from their native countries and they tried to seek out their connections with their old countries. When people move from place to place to have different professions, they seem to identify themselves with their professions. The shifting identity makes the author uncomfortable.·Text Outline1. Introduction (Para. 1–4)Everyone of us belongs to a certain community owing to our professions.2. Body (Para. 5–12)1) Our sense of community has changed from the neighborhood to the workplace.(Para. 5–10)A. In the past, the community to which we belonged was decided by ourneighborhoods.(Para. 5)B. At present, a large part of our daily lives are transformed from home to office, theworkplace becomes our neighborhood. (Para. 6–10)2) As our sense of community has changed from the neighborhood to theworkplace, our sense of identity has shifted from ethnicity to our profession.(Para.11–12)3. Conclusion (Para. 13 –14)The shifting sense of community and identity makes it hard for us to separate ourselves from our professionsb. Detailed reading---study of the language pointsDetailed reading of the textPurposes:1. To help students draw important facts of each paragraph2. To help students identify and remove the source of difficulty in understanding thetext3. To help students actively interact with the text and develop strategies to work out themeaning of the text4. To give students practice in note-takinglanguage points:1. mind you:also take this fact into account 尽管如此;应该考虑到e.g.I’ve heard they’re getting divorced. Mind you, I’m not surprised—they were always arguing.He spends a lot of time in bed now; mind you, he is 93!2. a chunk of:a fairly large amount of something 相当大的量e.g.I’ve already written a fairly large chunk of the article.The car repairs took a chunk of his salary.3. transfer … to …:move sth from one place to anothere.g.How can I transfer money from my bank to his?The patient was transferred to another hospital.4. shmoose:talk casually and friendly, esp. in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection 闲谈;闲聊e.g.The men were sitting in the cafe and shmoosing.5. assume:think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it 假设e.g.Let us assume for a moment that the plan succeeds.It is reasonable to assume that economy will continue to improve.6. have sth in common with sb / sth:(of people) have the same interests, ideas, etc assb else or (of things or places) have the same features or characteristics, etc 与……有共同之处e.g.He has nothing in common with Jane.The two cultures have a lot in common.7. replace... with / by...:take the place of sth with sth; to use sth instead of sth else用……替换e.g.We’ve replaced the old adding machine with / by a computer.Teachers will never be replaced by computers in the classroom.8. disruptive:causing problems, noise, etc so that sth can not continue normally 破坏性的e.g.She had a disruptive influence on the rest of the class.The strike was disruptive to transport services.Methodology:When working through the text, you can, besides explanation and paraphrase (refer to “Detailed Explanation of the Text’’ in the teacher’s book), use the techniqueof asking questions to develop students’ understanding. Make sure students always keep their text open when they answer the questions. The purpose of asking questions is to make students actively interact with the text and develop their strategies to derive the meaning from the text. At the same time, they can become aware of the way language is used to convey meaning. There is a close connection between answering questions and developing understanding.At the start, three types of questions should be designed for this purpose. First, straightforward questions need to be asked to draw students’ attention to important facts in the text and to ensure they understand the literal meaning of the facts.The second type of questions should be used to develop students’ skills of tackling difficult sentences.A third type should make students recognize grammatical and lexical features that play a crucial part in the interpretation of the text.‘When students answer your questions they should also practice taking notes.Period 6-8Post-reading activitya. Speaking ActivityExercise VII on page. 8b. Writing PracticeExercise IX on page. 8c. Have students finish the exercises。

Close1I remember viewing half a dozen men in a chair factory whose job was to bend several pieces of steel and attach them so that a folding chair would result. The men knew they were good. When I talked with them, each expressed enormous pride in being a part of the fastest, best team. And this sense of belonging to an accomplished work group is one of the distinctivesatisfactions of the world of work.Unlike many other aspects of life, relationships among people at work tend to be simpler, less complicated, somewhat less emotional. This is not to say there aren’t arguments and jealousies, but, on the whole, behavioral research discloses that human relations at work are just easer, perhaps because they are more regular and predictable and thus simpler to adjust to than the sporadic, the more intense and less regular relationships in the community, and the work group also gently pressures its members to learn how to adjust to one another so that the ―rough edges‖ are worked off because people know they must do certain things with and through one another each day.Beyond the team and the work group, there is the organization, whether it b company or hospital or university. The same pride in being part of a well-coordinated, successful unit is derived from being part of a larger collectivity. Working for a company that is thought of as being part of the best in the community can provide employees with both status and self-confidence. They assume, usually with good reasons, that others regard them more highly, even envy them, and that are more competent than the average because of this association witha ―winner‖, a prestigious institu tion.2 AROUND 1970, psychologist Walter Mischel launched aclassic experiment. He left a succession of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a marshmallow. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the marshmallow. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two marshmallows.In videos of the experiment, you can see the children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes -- desperately trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two marshmallows. Their performance varied widely. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes. The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had, on average, better adult outcomes. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to become bullies. They received worse teacher and parental evaluations 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.Mischel experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is essential. Young people who can delay gratification can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree. They can perform rote tasks in order to, say, master a language. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals. No wonder they drop out. Life is a parade of foolish decisions: teenage pregnancy, drug use, gambling, truancy and crime.4 Happiness is basically a state of mind. Happiness depends more on one's disposition and outlook. Only by connecting to your real identity, deeper than merely the body and mind, can one reach real happiness because that is where such happiness is always found. In this way, very little is needed to have a happy life. It is all within yourself. Thus, we can attain a state of being satisfied with what we have without being anxious to attain allour temporal desires, without worrying about the future, and without concerning ourselves with unnecessary hopes and fears. When you are really and naturally happy from within, everything else that you accomplish can be viewed as icing on the cake, an extra sweetness to life. But such external activities are not where true happiness liesThe only reason why people cannot attain their inward spiritual bliss right here and now is because they put too much focus on their external situation and what they feel they need and how to get it. Or they focus on the problems that they think they have. Actually, what people need to be happy is right inside them, at all times, regardless of whatever trials and challenges may happen outside and around them. As I've always said, it is not what happens to you, but it is how you perceive it and how you react or respond to it that makes the difference. We have to understand that happiness and distress is a constant flow in material life. We are affected by it only if we identify with it. One has to learn to rise above that by connecting with your true self, or higher Self. So how do we do that?5 We might try to pick out a few of the outstanding achievements in science during recent years before we try to consider what some of the achievements of the future may be.Atomic 1 )_ application_ with its radioactivity and isotopes (同位素)has given us an extraordinary and unexpected new 2 )_ tool_ for use in the sciences.

Background Informationa. Introduction to the AuthorEllen Goodman is a Pulitzer-prize-winning columnist, author, speaker, and commentator who refuses to call herself a pundit. Ellen has long been a chronicler of social change in America, especially the women’s movement and its effects on our public and private lives. She frequently pens newspaper columns on such topics as feminism, child rearing, divorce, alternative lifestyles, and gardening. Although Goodman once appealed principally to women, her essays now interest readers of both sexes who are, in the words of New York Times critic John Leonard, “full of gratitude for having been introduces to a witty and civilized human being in a vulgar and self-pitying decade.”b. Information Related to the TextEthnic Identity refers to one’s sense of belonging to an ethnic group and the part of one’s thinking, perceptions, feelings, and behavior that is due to ethnic group membership. The ethnic group tends to be one in which the individual claims heritage. Ethnic identity is separate from one’s personal identity as an individual, although the two may reciprocally influence each other. There are 4 major components of ethnic identity, that is, ethnic awareness (understanding of one’s own and other groups),ethnic self-identification (label used for one’s own group), ethnic attitudes (feelings about one’s own and other group) and ethnic behaviors (behavior patterns specific to an ethnic group).Kaffeeklatsch is a German phrase translating literally as “coffee chat”. This is the type of casual conversation, small talk and especially gossip enjoyed by people who meet in the afternoon for a cup of coffee. Kaffeeklatsch is also used to describe such a gathering itself. Several student newspapers, journals and arts councils utilize the term as a means of describing the informally hosted meetings of influential members at coffee shops and cafes near their home university. It is occasionally used in a more specific and derogatory sense to mean a group of people who waste time talking rather than doing. 咖啡会(一种非正式聚会)c. Pre-reading QuestionsLead-in questionsPurposes:1. To present key words and phrases related to working community2. To encourage students to think about the theme of the coming text, i.e. the rapidly changing society and the change of the concept “community”3. To arouse students’ interest in the topic of the coming text4. To develop students’ skill in predicting the main idea of the textSteps:1.The teacher can divide the class into groups of 4/5.2.Students can be given 2-3 minutes to discuss the following questions.·What does community mean to you in China?·How do you define community in your life?·In what ways are communities important to society?3.Each group should have a reporter to report the result of their discussion to thewhole class.Methodology:1. The purpose of pre-reading activity is to arouse students’ interests in the topic ofthe text and prepare them to read the text actively. It may be very easy for your students to give a definition to community geographically, but to define it socially is more difficult. If you encourage students to think carefully about the change of the concept, they will probably hit upon the central idea and the main purpose of the coming article.2.In order to get the whole class involved, group work is recommended. If time permits, you can ask each group to report to the class what they have discussed.Period 2-5While-reading activitya. The organization of the text·The Gist of the ArticleThe author of this article mainly argues that People’s jobs or pr ofessions have made them become members of certain communities.In the past few years, peoplehave transferred the major portion of their lives from home to office. Thus the sense of community has shifted from neighborhood to workplace. In modern society, people are busy with their work and spend most part of their time in their workplaces. The towns where they are living become the places only for sleeping. The afternoon gathering for friends to have a casual conversation and to sip coffee, which was popular in the fifties, has also been enjoyed by people in the eighties during their break at work. The sense of community has not only shifted from our neighborhood to our workplace, but also stretched to the profession we enter. The immigrant grandparents came to America with their original ethnic identities. They assumed they had something in common with people from their native countries and they tried to seek out their connections with their old countries. When people move from place to place to have different professions, they seem to identify themselves with their professions. The shifting identity makes the author uncomfortable.·Text Outline1. Introduction (Para. 1–4)Everyone of us belongs to a certain community owing to our professions.2. Body (Para. 5–12)1) Our sense of community has changed from the neighborhood to the workplace.(Para. 5–10)A. In the past, the community to which we belonged was decided by ourneighborhoods. (Para. 5)B. At present, a large part of our daily lives are transformed from home to office, theworkplace becomes our neighborhood. (Para. 6–10)2) As our sense of community has changed from the neighborhood to theworkplace, our sense of identity has shifted from ethnicity to our profession.(Para.11–12)3. Conclusion (Para. 13 –14)The shifting sense of community and identity makes it hard for us to separate ourselves from our professionsb. Detailed reading---study of the language pointsDetailed reading of the textPurposes:1. To help students draw important facts of each paragraph2. To help students identify and remove the source of difficulty in understanding thetext3. To help students actively interact with the text and develop strategies to work out the meaning of the text4. To give students practice in note-takinglanguage points:1. mind you:also take this fact into account 尽管如此;应该考虑到e.g.I’ve heard they’re getting divorced. Mind you, I’m not surprised—they werealways arguing.He spends a lot of time in bed now; mind you, he is 93!2. a chunk of:a fairly large amount of something 相当大的量e.g.I’ve already written a fairly large chunk of the article.The car repairs took a chunk of his salary.3. transfer … to …:move sth from one place to anothere.g.How can I transfer money from my bank to his?The patient was transferred to another hospital.4. shmoose:talk casually and friendly, esp. in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection 闲谈;闲聊e.g.The men were sitting in the cafe and shmoosing.5. assume:think or accept that sth is true but without having proof of it 假设e.g.Let us assume for a moment that the plan succeeds.It is reasonable to assume that economy will continue to improve.6. have sth in common with sb / sth:(of people) have the same interests, ideas, etc assb else or (of things or places) have the same features or characteristics, etc 与……有共同之处e.g.He has nothing in common with Jane.The two cultures have a lot in common.7. replace... with / by...:take the place of sth with sth; to use sth instead of sth else用……替换e.g.W e’ve replaced the old adding machine with / by a computer.Teachers will never be replaced by computers in the classroom.8. disruptive:causing problems, noise, etc so that sth can not continue normally 破坏性的e.g.She had a disruptive influence on the rest of the class.The strike was disruptive to transport services.Methodology:When working through the text, you can, besides explanation and paraphrase (refer to “Detailed E xplanation of the Text’’ in the teacher’s book), use the technique of asking questions to develop students’understanding. Make sure students always keep their text open when they answer the questions. The purpose of asking questions is to make students actively interact with the text and develop their strategies to derive the meaning from the text. At the same time, they can become aware of the way language is used to convey meaning. There is a close connection between answering questions and developing understanding.At the start, three types of questions should be designed for this purpose. First,straightforward questions ne ed to be asked to draw students’attention to important facts in the text and to ensure they understand the literal meaning of the facts.The second type of questions should be used to develo p students’ skills of tackling difficult sentences.A third type should make students recognize grammatical and lexical features that play a crucial part in the interpretation of the text.‘When students answer your questions they should also practice taking notes.Period 6-8Post-reading activitya.
