After-Class Reading迟做总比不做好1他躺在草从中，躲在那儿，同时思索着。
2他研究了这个小女孩的习惯。
他知道下午三点左右她会从外祖父的房子里出来玩耍。
3他为此举痛恨自己。
4在他悲惨的一生中，他还从来没有考虑过任何像绑架这样冷酷无情的事情。
5然而此时此刻他却躺在草丛里，被树木遮掩着，房了里的人看不见他。
他正等待着一个天真无邪、红头发、两岁人的小女孩向他走近。
6这是一次漫长的等待；有时间进行思考。
7可能在哈伦德的一生中，一切都太过匆忙。
85岁的时候，他那当农民的山地人父亲就去世了。
9 14岁的时候，他就从格林伍徳屮学辍学，开始到处流浪。
10他做过农场的临时工，但他不喜欢那工作。
11他尝试做过公共汽车的售票员，但也不喜欢那工作。
12在16岁的时候，他谎报年龄参了军——可他也不喜欢当兵。
在一年的服役期满后，他前往阿拉巴马州，在那儿试着做铁匠，但没有成功。
13 （后来）他成了南方铁路公司的恢路机车司炉工。
他喜欢那工作，以为自己找到了真正的自我。
14在18岁的时候，他结了婚。
谁知道没几个月，就在他说自己又被解雇了的那一天，他妻子说她怀孕了。
15接着，有一天，当他外出找工作的时候，他年轻的妻子散尽他们所有的家产回娘家去了。
16接下来就是经济萧条时期。
17正如人们所说的那样，哈伦德失去得太多，赢不回来了。
18他确实努力了。
19 一度，当他在铁路上不断地打各种零工的时候，他尝试过通过函授学习法律。
20但他也半途而废了。
21他尝试过卖保险、卖轮胎。
22他尝试过开渡轮，经营加汕站，但都没有用。
23面对现实吧——哈伦徳是一个失败者。
24他现在正躲在列吉尼亚州罗阿诺克郊外的杂草从里，筹划一次绑架。
25就如我所说的，他已经观察过这个小女孩的习惯，知道她下午玩耍的时间。
26但是，这一天，小女孩却没有出来玩，所以他那失败之链依旧没有中断。
27在他后来的生活中，他成了科尔宾一家餐馆的主厨和刷瓶工。
一切都挺好，直到冇一天新的公路绕餐馆而过。
新编大学英语BookIIUnit3教案Book ⅡUnit 3 : Born to WinTeaching Aims:In this unit students are required to:1)Get to know some useful information about the topic of thereading passages and be motivated to overcome difficulties in life or study.2)Have some discussion in pairs or group work about the topic ofthe unit so as to practice speaking English.3)Memorize some new words and make full use of them in order tomaster their usage.4)Learn the in-class reading passage together and read theafter-class reading in their spare time to improve their English comprehensive skills.5)Read the translation tactics and do the translation exercisescarefully to better their translating abilities.6)Motivated by the topic of this unit to discuss or write acomposition on “How to Win”.Ⅰ. Useful InformationWinning requires adequate skills, opportunity to use these skills productively, and most of all, an attitude which guarantees that the winning individual will work hard and stay with a task until it is completed.A good set of inherited skills is as likely to occur in a person born into poverty as it is in a person born into wealth. Comforthas often been the curse of the wealthy, and there is little support for the idea that a life of ease will lead to a life as a winner.In nearly every field of work or profession there are winners who have come from humble beginnings. In these books such as: Rags to Riches, Risen from the Ranks, facing the World, The Young Explorer, the hero figure comes from a humble beginning, but through hard work, serious study, attention to the rules, and good virtue, he becomes a winner in life. Indeed, these books became the introduction for many young Americans to the co ncept that “Whenthe going gets tough, the tough get going.” It may be true that virtue is not always rewarded, but most persons behave as if in fact this is usually true. Sayings like “Honesty is the best policy”, “Nothing succeeds like success”, “Genius is more often due to perspiration than inspiration”, “Winners never lose, losers never win”are so common that they sometimes are not appreciated for the influence they have on young persons.In addition, there are many stories of athletes, artists, musicians and actors, etc., who have overcome great handicaps to become winners in their fields of performance. The next time when you see a person who is a winner in life, remember that it is not that they were “born to win”. The usual case is that they had formed good habits of learning and living, and they had an attitude which caused them to succeed and never to consider defeat or loss as an acceptable outcome.Ⅱ. Preparation1.Talk about the meaning of winning. Ask students to talkabout “What does winning mean?”Samples:1)Winning means being happy.2)Winning means being No.1 or one of the best in your field.3)Winning means being able to make great contributions tosociety.4)Winning means being able to overcome great difficulties thatothers can’t.5)Winning means making a lot of money.6)Winning means doing what you enjoy and being good at it.7)Winning means having good health and a happy family.8)Winning means that you can be the kind of person you want tobe.2.Winners in my eyes. Ask students to give an example of thewinner in their eyes.Samples:1)I think Helen Keller is a winner. Even though she becameblind and deaf at a very early age, she didn’t give up. With the help of her teacher, she became a teacher, writer andlecturer. She couldn’t see or hear, but shi learned to read andwrite by touch and feel. Helen also learned several foreign languages: French, German, Latin and Greek. Helen always wanted to try what others could do.2)For me, my father is a winner. He was born into a very poorfamily. He hardly had enough to eat. Every week he had to walk 20 kilometers to school. Though he dropped out later due to the lack of money, he taught himself and became a teacher at a village school. He sent my brothers and me to school. Now my brothers and I are all studying in nationalkey universities. For others, my father may be a very ordinary person. But to me, he is a real winner.3.What accounts for success? Read the story with the students,then ask them to conclude the moral of the story. Give their o pinions on “What Accounts for Success?”Samples:I think intelligence and hard work are the most importantthings. First you must be intelligent. You won’t he able to succeed if you are stupid. But intelligence alone is not enough. You also need to work hard. Success is something you have to earn painstakingly.Ⅲ. Listening-Centered ActivitiesViewing, Understanding And SpeakingPlay the video for at least three times. For the first time, the students are expected to only watch and enjoy it, then the second time to do exercises, the third time the teacher can stop the video appropriately with explanation about the difficulties.For listening exercises One, Two, Three, the teacher can play them several times with relevant explanations as well.
