Lead-inIndia India, officially called Republic of India, is a country in southern Asia, located on the subcontinent of India. It is bounded on the north by Afghanistan, China, Nepal, and Bhutan; on the east by Bangladesh, Myanmar (also known as Burma), and the Bay of Bengal; on the south by the Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mann鈘 (which separates it from Sri Lanka) and the Indian Ocean; and on the west by the Arabian Sea and Pakistan. India is divided into 26 states and 7 union territories. New Delhi is the countrys capital and one of its largest cities. In the early 18th century, following the decline of the Mughal Empire, Britain expanded its power in India, where British influence had begun in the early 1600s. In 1935 Britain began to relinquish its hold on India and passed legislation providing for autonomous Indian legislative bodies. Executive power remained with the British government, however, until 1947 when the Indian people, under Gandhis leadership, won their struggle for independence and British rule in Indian ended. The Taj Mahal The Taj Mahal, designed as a tomb for the wife of a 17th-century Mughal emperor, was constructed by about 20,000 workers from 1631 to 1653 in a city in northern India. The massive domed structure was constructed in the Indo-Islamic style, using white marble and inlaid gems. At each corner is a minaret (prayer tower), and passages from the Koran, the Muslim holy book, adorn the outside walls. The bodies of the emperor and his wife remain in a vault below the building. The Victoria Memorial The Victoria Memorial was built to commemorate Queen Victorias 25-year reign over India. After the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857, the British government assumed direct control of the country, and in 1876 the British parliament made Victoria the Empress of India. Her reign ended with her death in 1901. Marriage During a Sikh marriage ceremony, the bride and groom in traditional clothing encircle the Sikh Holy Book four times while chanting wedding hymns. Sikhism, a religion that combines elements of Islam and Hinduism, developed in India during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Today, Sikhs make up more than half the population of Punjab.Sacred Cow India has more cattle than any other country in the world. As a central part of Indias agrarian economy, cattle haul carts, plow fields and produce milk for dairy products. Considered sacred by many Hindus, cattle are protected from slaughter in most states and are often allowed to roam free.Discussion Who do you think are braver, women or men? Please give examples to support your statement.Do you have the same feeling when you see a woman screaming over an insect and a man screaming over an insect? Why or why not?Do you think women can do everything men can? Why or why not?Detailed Readingbare, bald, naked & nude這幾個形容詞都含”赤裸的”之意。bare 指缺少必要的遮蓋物。用于人時，多指身體的部分裸露。例如：He exposed a bare back to the sun.bald 指頭上無發(fā)，地上無草木，樹上無葉等。例如：He was already bald at the age of 25. naked 指全身一絲不掛，暴露無遺。例如：They found the body lying half naked in the grass.The children ran naked through the yard. nude主要指人體裸露，也可指房間無裝飾。例如：The boys went swimming in the nude.argument 指辯論雙方均以事實或理由來說服對方的辯論。conflict 指雙方堅持已見、互不妥協(xié)，懷有敵意的爭論，多暗示分歧極為嚴重，有時用語言無法解決，只得訴諸武力。 debate 通常指經(jīng)過仔細組織和計劃的個人或團體之間的辯論。dispute 普通用詞，特指長時間，言詞激烈，針鋒相對的爭辯。1. I first heard this tale in India, where it is told as if true though any naturalist would know it couldnt be. Why does the author say though any naturalist would know it couldnt be? Because cobras generally eat small animals such as rabbits and mice, a naturalist would tell us that milk is not a favorite food for the cobras.2. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they havent. 席間，一位年輕的女士與一位少校展開了激烈的討論。年輕的女士認為，婦女已經(jīng)有所進步，不再像過去那樣一見到老鼠就嚇得跳到椅子上；少校則不以為然。3. And that last ounce is what really counts.” Whats the meaning of “what really counts? “It means “something that is really important”.4. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. Whats the meaning of look and see in this sentence?look means to try to find something using your eyes while see means 搕o use your eyes to look at things and know what they are. 5. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. her muscles tightened almost unnoticeably.2) This is an absolute construction（獨立主格結構） used as an adverbial of behavior or way. Instead of v-ing form we can also use v-ed form, adjective, adverbial, prepositional phrase, or even infinitive in this structure.More examples:He groaned and fell to the floor, blood streaming from his nose.He rushed into the room, his face covered with sweat.The girl entered the classroom, her nose red with cold.The attacker entered the dark room, gun in hand.6. The boys eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. What the hostess tells the boy is so terrible that even a native boy feels astonished.7. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.在座的客人中除了那個美國人以外誰也沒有注意到這一幕，也沒有看到那個男仆把一碗牛奶放在緊靠門邊的走廊上。2) Can we use “and” to replace the word “or” in this sentence? Why or why not?No. Because according to the grammar you must use “or” instead of “and” after a negative word such as “none” and “not”.8. The American comes to with a start. 1) The American suddenly realizes what is happening and this startles him.2) What can we infer from this sentence? Before he sees a bowl of milk being placed on the veranda, the American naturalist always keeps a relaxed and somewhat indifferent manner.9. you were right, Major! the host exclaims. The man has just shown us an example of perfect self-control.”The host only knows part of the story. Thats to say, he only knows the American jumps to slam the door when he finds the existence of a cobra but he doesnt know the cobra is crawling across his wifes foot.10. just a minute, the American says, turning to his hostess. Mrs. Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?”Why does the American ask this question?Because he wants to know whether its true that the hostess is calmer than him.11. A faint smile lights up the womans face as she replies: Because it was crawling across my foot. What can we learn from this sentence?The author just wants to come to the conclusion that in this story the hostess is calmer than the American. Thats to say, sometimes women are calmer than men.Role Play This role-play should cover the following plots: 1) a discussion between a young girl and a major; 2) what the hostess does when she finds a snake; 3) what the American naturalist does when he is aware of the existence of a cobra; 4) a talk after the happening. 1) some ways to express ones opinion: In my opinion / view ; Personally / Frankly, I think ; From my point of view ; It seems to me that 2) some ways to express ones disagreement: I quite agree with what you said, but ; Theres a lot in what you said, but ; Youre right , but ; Im afraid I cant accept that. ; Thats your opinion, not mine.3) some ways to ask for reasons: Why do you think of that? ; Whats your reason for saying that? 4) some ways to give reasons: As something happens, ; The reason for was that ; There are reasons for this.5) some ways to express comparison: Compare to / with B, A ; , on the contrary ; If you compare A with B, the latter is more / less ; All in all, A is more than B.Proverbs and Quotations 1.

There are mainly seven coordinating conjunctions. An easy way to remember them is to think of the word FANBOYS. See the following table.for and nor but or yet soConjunctive adverbConjunctive adverbs are the words which connect two clauses. Conjunctive adverbs show cause and effect, sequence, contrast, comparison, or other relationships. They usually appear between independent clauses or sentences, but may join a dependent clause to a main (independent) clause. accordingly, again, also, besides, consequently, finally, furthermore, however, incidentally, moreover, namely, nevertheless, otherwise, then, therefore, thus Unit 2Lessons from JeffersonTeaching material: College English for Intensive Reading (Book 2)Teaching content: Unit 2 Text A Teaching objective: Help students to:1. learn a lesson from Jefferson.2. understand the main idea and structure of this text.3. grasp the language points and grammatical structures in this unit.4. appreciate the difference between formal language and colloquial (spoken) language.Important points:New words and expressionsText structure analysisStructured writingListening and speakingTeaching method:Explanation; discussion; exemplification.Teaching time: 8 hours Text A: 4 Text B: 2 Listening an speaking : 2Teaching steps 1.

Do you admire any great political figures or statesmen both at home and abroad? Who are they? And why?Zhou Enlai was one of the major leaders of the Chinese Communist movement. He was the first premier of the Peoples Republic of China, a post he held until his death in 1976. He was educated in Japan and Europe and achieved high rank in the Communist movement at an early age. He was well known as a skilled international negotiator.The Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen had a tremendous impact on the development of modern China. Sun was the catalyst in the overthrow of Manchu rule. As prime minister of Britain during World War II, Churchill roused the British to stand against Nazi Germany. The sight of Churchill, with his cigar and two fingers raised in a "V for victory" salute, inspired Britons to rise to what he called "their finest hour."Napoleon Bonaparte was the greatest military genius of the 19th century. He conquered most of Western Europe and Egypt for France, while instituting reforms in these new territories aimed at guaranteeing civil liberties and improving the quality of life. He crowned himself emperor of France in 1804 and introduced reforms intended to unify the revolution-fractured nation. Many of Napoleons reforms are still in effect today.2. Of the American presidents, how many do you know? Can you recognize the people in the following pictures and say something about them?George Washington (1732-1799): Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, statesman and first President of the United States, born in Westmoreland County, Virginia on February 22, 1732. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865): the 16th President of the United States, born on February 12, 1809 in a backwoods cabin three miles south of Hodgenville, Kentucky, preserved the Union during the Civil War and brought about the emancipation of the slaves.Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945): the 32nd President of the United States; elected four times; instituted New Deal to counter the great depression and led country during World War II.Bill Clinton (1946-): the 42nd President of the United States (1993-1996) and the first president born after World War II, elected to a second term in 1996.A Brief Introduction to Thomas JeffersonThomas Jefferson (1743-1826) is best remembered as a great President and as the author of the Declaration of Independence. He also won lasting fame as a diplomat, a political thinker, and a founder of the Democratic Party. Jeffersons interests and talents covered an amazing range. He became one of the leading American architects of his time and designed the Virginia Capitol, the University of Virginia, and his own home, Monticello. He greatly appreciated art and music and tried to encourage their advancement in the United States. Jefferson invented a decoding device, a lap desk, and an improved type of moldboard plow. His collection of more than 6400 books became a major part of the Library of Congress. Jefferson revised Virginias laws and founded its state university. He developed the decimal system of coinage that allows Americans to keep accounts in dollars and cents. Jefferson did not consider himself a professional politician. Instead, he regarded himself as a public-spirited citizen and a broadminded, practical thinker. He preferred his family, his books, and his farms to public life. But he spent most of his career in public office and made his greatest contribution to his country in the field of politics.Global ReadingPart Division of the Text Main IdeasLinesParts 11 324 43344 62A brief introduction to Thomas Jefferson.

Many of his ideas are especially interesting to modern youth. What does this sentence imply?He is a person of foresight. Many of his ideas are not out of date.2. Jefferson believed that a free man obtains knowledge from many sources besides books and that personal investigation is important. 杰斐遜認為，一個自由的人除了從書本中獲取知識外，還可以從許多別的來源獲得知識；他認為，親自作調查是很重要的。1. Explain the grammatical structure of the sentence.1) 主句Jefferson believed 為一般過去時，而后面從句卻用了一般現(xiàn)在時，說明敘述的內容為人們普遍接受的客觀道理。The boys learned yesterday that the planets are circling about the sun.2) 謂語動詞的believed引導兩個由that引導的賓語從句, 在非正式文體中，引導第一個賓語從句的that一般可省略，第二個則不能省略，以免引起歧義。I understand (that) you have studied Chinese, and that you have written Chinese poetry.She denied (that) she had seen the man and that she had been in touch with him.3. While the other members of the committee sat in the state capitol and studied papers on the subject, Jefferson got into a canoe and made on-the-spot observations.Whats the function of while in this sentence?Here while means whereas, introducing sth. different.Jane was dressed in brown while Mary was dressed in blue.You like sports, while Id rather read.4. By birth and by education Jefferson belonged to the highest social class. 1. Paraphrase the sentence.Judging by his family and educational background, Jeefferson was a member of the group with top social status.按出身及其所受的教育，杰斐遜均屬于最高的社會階層。5. Yet, in a day when few noble persons ever spoke to those of humble origins except to give an order, Jefferson went out of his way to talk with gardeners, servants, and waiters. 1. Whats the implied meaning of the sentence?The noble persons thought they were superior and looked down upon the people of humble origins and regarded talking with those people as degrading. But sometimes they had to because they had to order those people to do things for them.6. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied and understand the revolution that is threatening France.然而，在那個貴族除了發(fā)號施令以外很少跟出身卑賤的人說話的年代，杰斐遜卻想盡辦法跟園丁、仆人和侍者交談。7. If you will only do this, you may find out why people are dissatisfied and understand the revolution that is threatening France.”Whats the grammatical function of “if you will only do this”?一般說來，if引導的條件狀語從句中表示將來用一般現(xiàn)在時，而不用將來時，但這里的will不是將來時，而表示一種現(xiàn)在的意圖、意愿、決心等。If you will give up smoking, your health will improve.8. Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”1. Analyze the structure of the sentence. Were it left to me to decide等于 If it were left to me to decide.在虛擬條件狀語從句中，如果從句中有should, were或助動詞had時，可省略if，將這些詞提到句首，主謂語用部分倒裝結構。More Examples:Should we want to accelerate the motion, we should have to exert some force.Had you told me the matter earlier, I would not have done the foolish thing.2. What does the sentence imply?Jefferson was by no means an anarchist (無政府主義者) who wished to abolish all established governments.

Whats the implied meaning of the sentence?The author is an optimist. He believes the young and can always keep up with the times.10. Jefferson felt that the present should never be chained to customs which have lost their usefulness. 1) Jefferson thought that people nowadays should never be limited to out-of-date customs.2. Whats the grammatical function of chain?Here chain is used figuratively, meaning “bind or restrain.”杰斐遜認為，絕不可以用那些已經(jīng)無用的習俗來束縛住”現(xiàn)在”的手腳。11. How much pain,” he remarked, “has been caused by evils which have never happened! I expect the best, not the worst. I steer my ship with hope, leaving fear behind.”1)A great deal of pain and suffering has been caused by worrying about bad things which never came to pass, forgetting the fear completely.2). What kind of rhetorical device is used here?steer my ship 是隱喻 (metaphor), “駕駛著自己的航船” 未來像航海一樣，充滿未知性，杰斐遜不但不懼怕，而且對未來充滿希望， 表現(xiàn)了其樂觀和一往無前的精神。Debate Step 1 Form teamsMake teams of four people.
