Cultural Notes1. the Internet: an international computer network for the exchange of information. It was originally used mainly in the academic and military worlds but has since become available to the large and increasing number of people with personal computers. Other services, e.g. the World Wide Web, are available through it.The Internet is changing our lives and a parallel universe is rapidly emerging online. Today there’s scarcely an aspect of our life that isn’t being upended by the torrent of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the Internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. The Internet is saving companies billions of dollars in producing goods and serving the needs of their customers. Nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. The Internet and e-commerce are viewed as a global megatrend along the lines of the printing press, the telephone, the computer and the electricity.You would be hard pressed to name something that isn’t available on the Internet. Consider: books, health care, movie tickets, baby clothes, stocks, real estate, toys and airline tickets. American kids today are so computer savvy that it virtually ensures the United States will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable future. Most kids use computers to play games and have email chats with friends.What’s clear is that, whether we like it or not, the Internet is an ever-growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. 2.

Phrasal verbs are preferred over single verbs , for instance , light out for depart ; pick out for recognize ;show up for appear ; break into forb egin ab ruptly . The use of child phrases (Mamma , Papa ) and somecausative verbs in make me lie , put Martha to watch , get me to stop yelling also help render the text fitting a child’s tone .⑵ the house melon-and –garden patch : a piece of land for growingvegetables and melons for family use .⑶back of : Although it is now established as standard in American Englishmeaning“behind ” , many considered it as a sloppy colloquial way ofspeaking inthe 19th century English .⑷ on the place ; in the lot : both refer to the boy’s home .

He had to work12 hours a day , 6 days a week to earn decent wage .)★Was a taxi-driver respected by people and how do youknow ?(No . A taxi –driver is not respected very much by manypassengers . They treat him with patronizing disregardand address him rudely as cabbie , you or driver . ) ③Paragraph 6 :Father’★How do you understand “powerful enough to crywhen he felt the need ?” Explain in your own words . (This is an open-ended question . The teacher shouldencourage the students to discuss the problem ofstrength and power . But generally speaking , a mandoes not believe in tears . And crying is normallyassociated with weakness . So it calls for greatcourage and strength for a man to cry before others .The father is not only powerful and strong , he alsohas deep love for his mother and family . )④Paragraph 7 :★How did the father feel when his son went touniversity ?(When his son went to university , the father felt very happyandexcited , because the boy was the first in the father’s familytoreceive higher education .)★Was the narrator satisfied with his father’s behaviour at hisgraduation ceremony and why ?(Yes .

Butthis was not important . He knew that his father wasoverjoyed because his son would have a better life .)⑤Paragraph 8 :★Why didn’t the father go on holiday ? And how did he liveand work when the family was away ?(The father could not afford to go on holiday with the family .There was just not enough money .

(This is again an open-minded question . Encourage the students to talk about their understanding . The father was seen as a great man in the boy’s eyes . He kept promises , he worked hard , he was powerful and he showed tender love for the family . Besides , his father was an understanding father , selfless and self-sacrificing , a man of conviction , believing in the power of love and hoping the love could be passed from generation to generation as a family tradition . The repeated use of “He was my father ”showed how much the boy loved his father and how proud he was of his father .) ★In what way was the father an extraordinary ordinary father ?(The father was ordinary as a worker , labourer , and taxi-driver . But he is extraordinary as a father , as a model for the younger generation . He was a man of integrity with power and profound love .)10.Practicing asking and answering the questions in pairs .11.Retell the text using the key words .12.Explanation of the new words and phrases .①Let drops of moral tuition fall into my lap :teach me moral standardslittle by little②Decent wage : a wage which is considered satisfactory③… with such patronizing disregard :patronizing is often used todescribe a person’s manner or tone which seemsfriendly , but which shows that they think theyare superior to you in some way .④…didn’t understand the Latin that was spoken before the ceremonialmeal : Latin is the Italic language spoken nearancient Roman , and was the official language ofthe Roman Empire .

Why do some humans have difficulty communicating with others by a set of sounds ?(“A set of sounds” refers to the spoken form of human language . Some people have difficulty in understanding people from other places because they speak different languages . As the dog understands , human beings have to be either raised in the same place or receive special training in order to understand a different language .)②What does the phrase “a set of marks on paper?” mean ? What is the use of the marks for human beings ?(“A set of marks on paper” refers to the written form of human language and is used to represent the sounds of language . These marks can be used to record human messages so that humans at a different time and in a different place can understand those messages .)③Why should a dog not develop the same communicating means /skills as human beings ?(Humans have lost the other abilities and senses for gatheringinformation while they have developed their eyes and ears . If adog develops these two skills too far , it would put its otherabilities into danger .)④What cost have human beings paid for having developed their seeing and hearing senses ?(When human beings have developed their eyes and ears to a higher level , they have lost the ability to get much of the information that dogs are able to do by other means .)Conclusion : the advantage and disadvantage of developing seeing and hearing sensesThe advantage : have developed their eyes and ears to a higherlevel of interpretationfor humans Humans at a different time and in a differentplace can understand their messages .The disadvantage : have lost the ability of other senses excepteyes and ears to get much informationThe advantage : can get information not only from ears and eyesbut also from otherfor dogs sensesThe disadvantage : have a lower level of interpretationSection 2 --------- How to please a human .Questions : What gesture of a dog’s can best please human beings ?(A dog who can behave like a human , such as sitting down in frontof him , and raising a front paw in a gesture to shake hands witha human will please a human most .)Section 3 --------- Don’t forget the true nature — you are a dog .Questions :①According to the passage , what is the best policy for a dog to livepeacefully with humanbeings ?(Even when a dog is behaving like a human to please a man , he should always remember that he is a dog . He is not a human and needs to live as a dog . It is all very well for a dog to change himself slightly to fit in with human beings, but he should not deny his true nature . Besides , he should accept whatever is forced upon him . In other words , he should be faithful to his master no matter who the master is . )②What are the reasons that human beings hold for keeping a dog ? (Human beings need dogs for various reasons . They may need a dog to help with some specific tasks like hunting or guiding , or want a dog to keep burglars away . Looking after a dog may give their children a sense of responsibility .They may want other people to admire their dogs if the dogs are of an expensive and fashionable breed .
