In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appli ances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, andchanged, most would surely agree with me, for the better.Unit 2Part I??Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen to is called?Abraham, Martin & John,?sung by Dion.Abraham, Martin & JohnDionHas anybody here,Seen my old friend Abraham,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he's gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend John,Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just loohed around,And he' s gone,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Martin,Appendix??I??????- 95 -Can you tell me, where he's gone,He freed a lotta people,But it seems the good die young,I just looked around,And he's gone,Didn't you love the things they stood for,Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,And we'll?he?free,Someday soon it's gonna be one day,Has anybody here,Seen my old friend Bothy,Can you tell me, where he's gone,I thought I saw him walhin' up over the hill, With Ahrah am, Martin and John.The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How aboutAbraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. That's one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassinated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedy's brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.- 96 -????????Appendix???IPart II Text AText OrganizationPartsParagraphsMain IdeasPart OneParas 1-5It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cottonled to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black. Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a long way to go.

It starts with a burglar creeping into a house at night. The couple in the house have gone to bed as the song says. Despitecreeping the burglar must have awoken the man, for he is getting up, "reachin' for his trousers", when the burglar shoots him several times, "full of holes".1 So big Jim commenced to fightin': Normally we say "Big Jim commenced to fight or commenced fighting".Appendix I - 103-Which brings us to the "Saturday Night Special", with its "barrel blue and cold", a handgun. Despite calling it by such a familiar name, it's clear the singer has no time for the handgun. He sings of it as being good for nothing but sending people to their grave, putting a man down "six feet in a hole".From the dangers of burglars with guns, the singer moves on to how dangerous guns can be when drinking leads to violence. We hear the story of Big Jim, the gambler. As he gets drunk, Big Jim starts to suspect he is losing at cards because others are cheating. He gets into an argument and reaches for his Saturday Night Special. He shoots his friend "right between the eyes".Pistols in America are cheap at just twenty dollars, but the singer warns against having one. Those foolish enough to do so are not only a danger to others, but also a danger to themselves, for, as he sings, "if you like to drink your whiskey, you may even shoot yourself."Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.2) Dead-bolt locks, security chains, electronic alarm systems and trip wires are widely in use.3) Suburban families have steel bars built in sliding glass doors.4) Small notices warning against burglary are commonly seen pasted on the windows of the most pleasant of homes.5) Access cards are required of those who work with medium to large-size companies.6) Airport security uses electronic X-ray equipment to guard against terrorism.7) Businessmen employ new machines linked up to their telephone to help determine whether the caller is telling lies or not.8) Suburban housewives wear rape whistles on their key chains.2.PartsParagraphsMain IdeasPart OneParas 1-3In America, the era of leaving the front door on the latch has drawn to a close.Part TwoParas 4-15A new atmosphere of fear and distrust has crept into every aspect of daily life.

Statistics show burglars en tered more than 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity. A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happen to be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked, are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficult for the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device,be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors. Finally, a word of warning—when you travel, make sure that you have a trusted neighbor collect and keep all the deliveries of newspapers and mail until you return. This is because a collection of newspapers and mail on the front doorstep or in your mailbox is an advertisement that no one is home.Appendix I - 107 -Part III TextBComprehension Check1. b3. b 5. a2. b 4. d 6. dtranslation(#JE Appendix III)Language Practice1. impact3. draw the line at5. circumstance7. take the plunge9. aggressive11. advocated13. departed15. target17. head for19. on the line2. inflicted4. recommend6. break into8. conclude / have concluded 10. confirm12. insure14. in our favor16. count on18.

The gun is the great equalizer. It does not matter whether you are a big tough man ora small frail woman. With a gun in your hand you stand at the same height.What's more, it is the foundation of our nation. Without it there would be no Republic as it is,- 108 - Appendix Ifor we would never have been able to drive the Indians off the land without shooting so many of them down. Nor would the West have been won. Who would have dared venture into lands unpro tected by the law if they had not been able to protect themselves with a gun? The spirit of our nation thrives on aggressive individuals who are ready to stand up for themselves and to fight for their rights. Look at our films. What do we enjoy watching? People shooting one another. True, children occasionally get hold of guns and slaughter their classmates. But if only their classmates had been properly armed, they could have fought back. It was gun control that left them defenceless.Unit?4Part I??Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Every child likes listening to stories. Zoe, a girl with wings, is no exception.
