Section APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningPlease listen to a short passage carefully and prepare to answer some questions.Second ListeningListen to the tape again. Then answer the following questions with your own experiences.1. What problems do you have in trying to learn English in your middle school?2. Why do you think the computer can help you in learning English?3. What other things do you think we can gain through English language learning?Learning a Foreign LanguageLearning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life. Although at times, learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class. I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students. Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes. I was at the top ofmy class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior school was very different from before. While my former teacher had been patient with all the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers. Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!" It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions. Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but also I totally lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long. When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course. Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks! However, the situation was far from perfect. As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period. Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did. I began to feel intimidated. So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak. It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later, when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course. The communication medium was a computer, phone line, and modem. I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned the technology from a friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study; it requires much time, commitment and discipline to keep up withthe flow of the course. I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time. I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard. I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes. Once in a while I cried with frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen. Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English. Although I still made many mistakes and was continually learning, I had finally reaped the benefits of all that hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything. Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before. Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships. Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken, I can participate and make friends.I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.Section BKeys to Successful Online LearningWhile regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community. Job opportunities for students are expanding rapidly and more people of all ages are becoming aware of online learning that allows them to study at home. Online students, however, require unique qualities to be successful. The following list discusses some ideal qualities of successful online students.1. Be open-minded about sharing life, work, and learning experiences as part of online learning.Many different people find that the online method requires them to use their experiences and that online learning offers them a place to communicate with each other. This forum for communication removes the visual barriers that hinder some students from expressing themselves. In addition, students are given time to reflect on the information before replying. In this way, students can help to keep the online environment open and friendly.2. Be able to communicate through writing.In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is critical that students feel comfortable expressing themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved before or as part of the online experience. This usually requires extra commitment by these students. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas, perspectives and discussions on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. In this way, students gain great insight from their peers, learning from each other as well as the instructor.3. Be willing to "speak up" if problems arise.Remember that instructors cannot see their students in an online course. This means students must be absolutely explicit with their comments and requests. If they experience technical difficulties, or problems in understanding something about the course, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong. If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem. If another student is able to help, she/he probably will. While explaining something to others, students reinforce their own knowledge about the subject.4. Take the program seriously.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms. In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education — not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments. When other people are finished and having fun is most likely the time when online students do their course work. Online students need to commit 4 to 15 hours a week for each course.5. Accept critical thinking and decision making as part of online learning.Online courses require students to make decisions based on facts as well as experience. It is absolutely necessary for students to assimilate information and make the right decisions based on critical thinking. In a positive online environment, students feel valued by the instructor, by their classmates and by their own work.6. Be able to think ideas through before replying.Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning. Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged. Many times online students will not always be right; they just need to be prepared to accepta challenge.7. Keep up with the progress of the course.Online learning is normally sequential and requires commitment on the students' part. Keeping up with the face-to-face class and completing all work on time is vital. Once students get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. Students need to want to be there and need to want the experience. The instructor may have to communicate with students personally to offer help and remind them of the need to keep up.Just as many excellent instructors may not be effective online facilitators, not all students have the necessary qualities to perform well online. People who have the qualities discussed above usually make very successful online students. If you have these qualities, learning online may be one of the best discoveries you will ever make.Section CTeaching Children at HomeRecord numbers of children are being taken out of school and taught by their parents at home. Up to 100 children a month are leaving the classroom because parents are not satisfied with schools. Around 15,000 families now teach their children at home, a rise of 50 per cent from last year, according to the latest figures.This present rise in home schooling is blamed on the nature of examinations, not getting children into the school of choice,and dissatisfaction with teaching methods. Some parents prefer keeping children home because of attacks by other students and a lack of discipline in schools. Researchers say, however, many families prefer teaching at home because they feel the idea of public schooling is not modern. They believe schools will be things of the past in 20 years as media technology, like the Internet, teaches children. 1. ______Under the law, parents must teach their children, whether at school or at home. Community officials are charged with protecting their schooling. Professor Meighan of Nottingham University says parents were fed up with the requirements of existing schools. For him, schools are an out-of-date concept from the days of the town crier（市政传令员）, when it was difficult to get information and a central person was needed to communicate knowledge. He also thinks parents are recognizing education is moving on and don't want their children to be held back by out-of-date methods. 2. ______Meighan suggests children will be taught at home using the Internet, computers, and video（录像片）. He thinks future schools will be small groups of children, sharing equipment in their homes. The teachers may become advisers who sort through the information. 3. ______Future schooling was questioned by Sir Christopher Ball of the Royal（皇家的`）Society of Arts. He thinks learning in the future will include an international curriculum and international standards. He sees some present models of schooling —community schools and home schooling, for example —becoming more central and other models, not yet existing, may develop. 4. ______How Personal Choice Brings O-Level Success at 13Leslie Barson is already running the type of school that researchers think will teach children in the future. Based partly at a community centre and partly in family homes, the Otherwise Club includes some 35 families around north London. Professional teachers are brought in to help with special subjects, but mostly parents and children work together on units like studying the Greeks or the American Civil War, reading about events, making costumes（戏装）, and learning how people used to live. 5.______ 6. ______Parents choosing home schooling say the freedom of home learning allows some children to sit one or two GCEs by the age of 13. Ms. Barson's own children, Luis, age 12, and 7-year-old Lilly, have never attended school. She pays around 2,000 pounds a year for private teachers to help in special areas. She set up the Otherwise Club six years ago with just a few students. She thinks the purpose of teaching children is to develop their self-worth. Her son agrees. Luis, now teaching himself math, said, "I like the freedom to learn things that interest me, especially music. I don't feel I am missing out on anything by not being at school because I am a member of various clubs and have friends who attend normal school." 7. ______ 8. ______The “Danger” of Separating StudentsHome schooling could change children's relations with their peers and older people because of long periods spent with their parents. Most professors agree future learning will be more centred around the home, and fear children could become isolated and shy. Professor Michael Barber of London University said pupils could spend half their time at school, half at home as a way to solve this problem. He believes very strongly that children need the experience of school to ensure the quality ofbeing taught the basics and being examined. He thinks children must spend time with peers to learn the rules of work in a democratic（民主的）society and to learn how to deal with relations with more people than just their parents. Margaret Rudland, head teacher in Hammersmith, also thinks children must experience actual peer relations. 9. ______ 10. ______。

BOOK IUnit One LoveTeaching Aims:In this unit students are required to:1)get to know some useful information concerning the topic of the reading passages in this unit and to know more about English culture;2)do some preparation activities such as discussion,group work,etc.to practice their spoken skill and communicative skills;3)grasp some new words and try to use these words which help them to enrich their vocabulary;4)read the in-class reading passage in a limited time and grasp some expressions and grammatical points in the in-class reading passage to improve their reading comprehension;5)do some post-reading exercises and some after-class reading to practice what they have got to know in class to improve their English comprehensive skills.;6)translate some typical sentences into Chinese or English by using some expressions learned in the reading passages to acquire some translating skills and better their translating abilities.eful InformationWhether it is a mother’s nurturing love for her child,a son’s loyal love for his father,the love between husband and wife,or the love between friends,love is a universal emotion that expresses itself in every culture.To love is to be human.To need love is also to be human.Children,for example,need loving care in order to be emotionally healthy.Love is a deep feeling of fondness,affection and friendship that grows between people.Romantic love usually begins as passion and evolves with time to a more lasting sense of attachment.Many of the famous romantic love stories in various cultures end in tragedies of death or betrayal.The loss of love is a favorite musical theme and the subject of countless stories,operas,songs,and ballads.The verb“like”is not as strong as the verb“love”and generally does not imply deep emotions.“Like”means to find pleasure or satisfaction in something or someone: I like eating at the restaurant;my son likes his teacher.In English,the word“love”is often used informally instead of“like”in an intensified sense:He loves music; Children love ice-cream;she loves her new job.However,“love”and“like”are totally interchangeable.It is often the context that indicates the strength of the word “love”.The verb“love”should not be used in the first person,when speaking toanother person,except in romantic situations(I love you).When in doubt as to which verb to use,it is better to use“like”with an adverb:I like your dress a lot;I really like my professor;His boss liked his proposal immensely.II.Preparation1.Getting to know each otherSampleMy name is Wang Ling.I am18.I come from Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.

said to his son:”You set the pace.I’ll adjust to you.”The son was young,so he was ashamed of his father because other people stared at them.But deep in their hearts they loved each other.The father was proud of his son,and the son learned a lot from his father.3).How and why does the son’s attitude change?The son realized that it was his father who taught him many things such as how to have a

life.4).If you were the son,how would you feel towards the father?If I were the son,I wouldn’t be embarrassed to be seen with him by others.I would be proud of my father no matter how he looked because it was he who gave me life and brought me up.His disability was not his own choice.He was disabled,which was hard enough for him.How could the others look down upon him,let alone his son.(let alone更不用说eg:The baby can’t walk,let alone run.He can’t speak his own native language well,let alone French.)V.Further Development1.Different kinds of lovePossible alternatives:1)Loving members of

feel happy when I’m with pets.I myself have a pet cat.I like him very much,and I enjoy taking care of him.When I am unhappy or in low spirits,I stroke him,cuddle(hold sth lovingly and closely in the arms)him and then I feel much better.He is like one of my friends.In a sense he is better than a friend because he never argues with me and usually obeys me.Sample III don’t agree with this statement.I am afraid of animals,especially dogs.I don’t know why,but I have been afraid of dogs since my childhood.At the sight of dogs,I shiver, I don’t understand how I can lower my blood pressure by stroking or patting them.Onthe contrary,my blood pressure would rise because I am so nervous around a dog and sometimes I can’t help screaming.3.Translation on p.14Translate the Chinese sentences into English,using the expressions in brackets.1)He walks slowly because of his bad leg.2)He came to the meeting despite his serious illness.3)He saw to it that the same mistake wouldn’t happen again.4)Now that they have got to know each other a little better,they get along just fine.5)Then I found myself surrounded by half a dozen boys.6)I send you my best wishes on this happy occasion.4.WritingTo give the student a clearer idea of how to organize their composition,the teacher may encourage the students to include the following in their writing:∙a description of the physical features(height,weight,etc.)of the father;∙characteristics of the father∙what the student thinks of the father;∙something that had happened between the father and the studentSample IMy FatherMy father,forty-six years old,is a peasant.He is very hard-working,because he has a big family to support.Perhaps it is because he is tired,he is a man of few words,and almost no smile appears on his face.Father has never bought any toys or candies for my younger brother and me,but I know he loves us.He is strict with us.He once said,“You should study hard so that you can serve the people better in the future.”My family was poor but father promised that he would pay for education of my brother and me even if he had to sell our house.We were deeply moved.We are determined to study hard to repay our father.I love and admire my father.Sample IIMy MotherMy mother,a middle-aged woman,has a kind of typical characteristic of oriental women.I will always be thankful for her love and I’ll love her forever.When I was a child,my mother took me to the kindergarten even when the weather was bad.When I was naughty and made mistakes,my mother never blamed me.Instead she often told me some enjoyable stories and from these I was able to know what I should do and what I shouldn’t do.When I went to school,my mother cared about not only my daily needs but also my studies.When I did poorly in school,she often encouraged me to try my best again.She said she had confidence in me and told me never to lose heart. I’ll remember her kindness and advice forever.5.Proverbs concerning love●True love never grows old.●True love is giving, not taking.●All true love is founded on esteem.●Love asks faith, and faith firmness.●Without respect, love cannot go far.●Love is the reward of love.●Love lives in cottages as well as in courts. （爱情不分贫贱与富贵。

A Kiss for KateEvery afternoon when I came on duty as the evening nurse, I would walk the halls of the nursing home, pausing at each door to chat and observe. Often, Kate and Chris, their big scrapbooks in their laps, would be reminiscing over the photos. Proudly, Kate showed me pictures of bygone years: Chris tall, blond, handsome; Kate pretty, dark-haired, laughing. Two young lovers smiling through the passing seasons. How lovely they looked now, sitting there, the light shining on their white heads, their time-wrinkled faces smiling at the memories of the years, caught and held forever in the scrapbooks.How little the young know of loving, I'd think. How foolish tothink they have a monopoly on such a precious commodity. Theold know what loving truly means; the young can only guess.Kate and Chris were always together in the dining room, the lounge, strolling around the big porches and lawns, always holding hands. As we staff members ate our evening meal, sometimes Kate and Chris would walk slowly by the dining-room doors. Then conversation would turn to a discussion of the couple's love and devotion, and what would happen when one of them died. We knew Chris was the strong one, and Kate was dependent upon him.How would Kate function if Chris were to die first? Weoften wondered.Bedtime followed a ritual. When I brought the evening medication, Kate would be sitting in her chair, in nightgown and slippers, awaiting my arrival. Under the watchful eyes of Chris and myself, Kate would take her pill, then carefully Chris would help her from the chair to the bed and tuck the covers in around her frail body. Observing this act of love, I would think for the thousandth time, good heavens, why don't nursing homes have double beds for married couples? All their lives they have slept together, but in a nursing home, they're expected to sleep in single beds. Overnight they're deprived of a comfort of a lifetime.How very foolish such policies are, I would think as I watched Chris reach up and turn off the light above Kate's bed. Then tenderly he would bend, and they would kiss gently. Chris would pat her cheek, and both would smile. He would pull up the side rail on her bed, and only then would he turn and accept his own medication. As I walked into the hall, I could hear Chris say, "Good night, Kate," and her returning voice, "Good-night, Chris," whilethe space of an entire room separated their two beds.I had been off duty two days and when I returned, the first newsI heard was, "Chris died yesterday morning.""How?""A heart attack. It happened quickly.""How's Kate?""Bad."I went into Kate's room. She sat in her chair, motionless, hands in her lap, staring. Taking her hands in mine, I said, "Kate, it's Phyllis." Her eyes never shifted; she only stared. I placed my hand underher chin and slowly turned her head so she had to look at me. "Kate, I just found out about Chris. I'm so sorry.At the word "Chris", her eyes came back to life. She looked at me, puzzled, as though wondering how I had suddenly appeared. "Kate, it's me, Phyllis. I'm so sorry about Chris."Recognition and sadness flooded her face. Tears welled upand slid down her cheeks. "Chris is gone," she whispered."I know," I said. "I know."We pampered Kate for a while, letting her eat in her room, surrounding her with special attention. Then gradually the staff worked her back into the old schedule. Often, as I went past her room, I would observe Kate sitting in her chair, scrapbooks onher lap, gazing sadly at pictures of Chris.Bedtime was the worst part of the day for Kate. Although she was allowed to move from her bed to Chris's bed, and although the staff chatted and laughed with her as they tucked her in for the night, still Kate remained silent and sadly withdrawn. Passing her room an hour after she had been tucked in, I'd find her wide awake, staring at the ceiling.The weeks passed, and bedtime wasn't any better. She seemed so restless, so insecure. Why? I wondered. Why this time of day more than the other hours?Then one night as I walked into her room, only to find the same wide-awake Kate, I said impulsively, "Kate, could it be you miss your good-night kiss?" Bending down, I kissed her wrinkled cheek. It was as though I had opened the floodgates. Tears ran down her face; her hands gripped mine. "Chris always kissed me good-night," she cried."I know," I whispered."I miss him so, all those years he kissed me good-night." She paused while I wiped the tears. " I just can't seem to go to sleep without his kiss."She looked up at me, her eyes full of tears. "Oh, thank you for giving me a kiss."A small smile turned up the corners of her mouth. "You know,"she said confidentially, "Chris used to sing me a song."He did?""Yes," her white head nodded "and I lie here at night and think about it.""How did it go?"Kate smiled, held my hand and cleared her throat. Then her voice, small with age but still melodious, lifted softly in song: So kiss me, my sweet, and so let us part. And when I grow too old to dream, That kiss will live in my heart.。

Unit One PersonalityUseful InformationIn a general sense, the term personality refers to all the personal and moral characteristics that determine the way a person thinks, feels and acts in his or her social and personal relations. These traits include a vast variety of attitudes and attributes such as shyness, generosity, patience, flexibility, sadness, humor, cheerfulness, selfishness, independence and aggressiveness. Most people are a mix of positive and negative traits. Personality traits that are valued in one culture may be frowned upon in another culture. Similarly, qualities that are encouraged in boys might be regarded as negative traits in girls.It is difficult to know exactly how much of our personality is inherited and how much is determined by parental and peer group influences. Is there a gene for shyness or stubbornness, for example? Are we born compassionate or do we acquire certain attitudes from our parents, our grandparents, our friends and other role models? Most research tends to suggest that our basic personality is inherited but that many factors shape and mould our personality as we mature. If our personality were entirely a result of our genes, then it would be virtually impossible to alter undesirable traits or to strengthen our weaknesses.Most lucid individuals, at some point in their lives, realize that certain aspects of their personalities constitute drawbacks in their relationships with other people. A selfish person might discover that selfishness does not create lasting friendships. An ill-tempered or intolerant person might find cooperative teamwork very difficult. A quiet shy person might find some work situations very stressful. Recognizing one’s strengths and weaknesses is an important step in the process of personal development because this can bolster self-confidence and motivate the desire to improve oneself. A person who is able to evaluate his or her strong points and weak points—with the help of parents, friends, teachers or aptitude tests—is also better equipped to make career choices. Different jobs require different personalities. A person who is matched appropriately to the skills and attitudes required for a particular job is more likely to be effective and successful.In recent years, various studies have shown that health and personality are interrelated. Negative attitudes can have negative effects on a person’s health. In constantly looking at the dark side of things, a pessimist can become discouraged to the point of feeling helpless. This passivity can, in turn, lead to destructive behavior such as drinking too much alcohol or becoming mean and bitter. Optimists, on the other hand, attempt to make the best of a situation. Rather than regarding themselves as victims, they feel that they have some control over their lives.The power of positive thinking has been used by sports psychologists for many years to help athletes control their nerves and build up their self-confidence. By visualizing themselves in a winning situation, athletes increase their chances of being successful. Similar approaches are being used with cancer patients. While optimism or positive thinking cannot actually cure a disease, it appears to contribute to well-being and to keep the disease at bay. Optimism is associated with hope, and hop e, at any stage in one’s life, is always a mobilizing and energizing force.Part One Preparation1.

Some examples are low self-esteem, lackof self-confidence, limited social activities, and lack of education. Some people, I think, are born shy. It’s a trait inherited from their parents. I still remember w hen I was a little girl, I was extremely shy. I was brought up in the countryside, and there weren’t many activities for me to take part in. There were very few chances for me to meet different sorts of people. What’s more, I believed that I was ugly. So I seldom talked to people. Even when I was spoken to, I was reluctant to respond. My face would turn red immediately. But after I entered college, I gained more self-confidence. I came to realize that appearance is only skin-deep. What’s more important is o ne’s knowledge, one’s personal qualities, one’s character, and one’s good virtues.2) There are several ways to overcome shyness. First we should remember that nobody can beperfect, so there’s no reason to feel discouraged if we have some shortcomings. O n the contrary we should know our strengths and emphasize our good aspects to build self-confidence. Don’t always focus on our weaknesses, because we can improve ourselves.For example, study hard and read widely to enrich our knowledge, try to make more friends, and encourage ourselves to get involved in more activities in school. Don’t take other people’s comments too seriously, but trust ourselves. And another important point is that we can do something to change our personalities. So why don’t we start from now?II.
