Universities and colleges are schools that continue a person's education beyond high school. A university or college education helps men and women enjoy richer, more meaningful lives. It prepares many people for professional careers as doctors, engineers, lawyers, or teachers. It also gives a person a better appreciation of such fields as art, literature, history, human relations, and science. In doing so, a university or college education enables individuals to participate with greater understanding in community affairs.

Universities differ from colleges in that they are larger, have wider curricula, are involved in research activities, and grant graduate and professional as well as undergraduate degrees.

Barbier developed an alphabet code used by army soldiers. The code was used to deliver messages to the soldiers at night.

It was made up of dots and dashes. It kept the messages secret if the enemy saw them, but the code was too complicated for the blind.

Louis thought the code was slow and the dashes took up too much space. Only one or two sentences fit on a page.

第一句是概括性的，其余的句子是有关该code的种种细节。再比如A篇课文第八段：

Over the next three years, Louis worked to simplify the code. On a vacation at home, Louis, age 15, picked up a blunt awl. Aha! An idea came to him. He made the alphabet using only six dots. Different dots were raised for different letters. Later, he made a system for numbers and music.

Step 2 Text A Thanks, Mom, for all you have done 1.Background information (5 minutes)

Mother’s Day is celebrated every year in honor of motherhood. On the second Sunday in May. A day for honoring mothers was observed many years ago in England. It was called Mothering Sunday, and came in mid Lent. People in other nations have observed similar days. Mother's Day was first observed in 1908 and received national recognition on May 9, 1914.

Father's Day is a day on which the people of many countries express gratitude and appreciation for their fathers by giving them gifts or greeting cards. In the United States and Canada, Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June.

1) thank sb. for sth.: say or write one is grateful to sb. because of sth. 为某事而感谢某人

e.g. The old man thanked me for helping him. I have to thank you for the present.

2) all you have done: = all that you have done. 本定语从句中作为宾语的关系代词that被省略了。如果先行词是all或由all修饰，定语从句只能用that引导，不能用which，whom或who。

3) get caught up是被动语态，get作联系动词，相当于be。相同的例子还有get sent outside class.

4.) tend1. vi. ［后接不定式］倾向于；往往会、易于 2. vt. look after or take care of 照料，照管 e.g. I tend to think that's not a good idea. He tends to speak too quickly.

The nurse is tending the sick person. The mother has no time to tend her child.

5.) be/get caught up in: be/get absorbed or involved in 被卷入，陷入 e.g. The country didn’t want to get caught up in another country’s war.

= …that always felt better when they were tended by you.

在此定语从句中，felt作连系动词，意思是“使我感到”。关系代词that在定语从句中作主语，因此不能省略。在嵌入的时间状语从句when（they were）tended by you中省略了主语和助动词be。在英语中，如果状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致，且后面跟有助动词be，可以省略从句中相同的主语和后面的助动词be。 12.) There was nothing quite so humbling as……: 最为丢脸的事莫过于…… 英语中，句型“否定词+so+形容词/副词+as”可以表示最高级，意思是“没有…比…更…”。

1) We’ve been talking about how to make this work. 我们一直在讨论这事怎么办才好。

在英语中，句型“疑问词+动词不定式”结构具有名词的性质，在句中作宾语、主语和标语等。在本句中，how to make this work作介词about的宾语。 e.g. Where to stay for the night has not been decided. She has forgotten whom to ask. The question is what to buy.

e.g. I never saw a prettier sight.

Nothing is more valuable than health.

13) And the man, his life's work completed, died.

本句中，his life's work completed是一个分词独立结构，表示after his life’s work was completed。分词独立结构从属于主句，但带有自己的逻辑主语，通常在句中起状语从句的作用。

(= After his homework was done, Jim… 表时间)

Step1. Starter (5 minutes)

For many of us, running like the wind sounds like a dream that may never come true. How fast can you run? Talk to your classmates and find out who is the best runner. Ask the best runner to tell you how he or she manages to do it.

Now read the following passage and find out what advice the author gives us in order to run fast.

Step 2 Text A Run Like the Wind

1. Background Information (5 minutes)

Running has been around as long as humans have, but it did not become a popular activity for the masses until the 1970s. There are many different kinds of runners, from casual joggers to regular race runners to ultra marathoners who run 100 miles at a time. Each runner should have a specific training regimen tailored to the individual’s goals and abilities.

A good schedule for a beginner is to run 20 minutes at a time, every other day. In the short term, there are techniques that can help a runner perform better. Mixing in higher speed workouts is one strategy, but this can lead to injury unless the individual builds up to them gradually.

The benefits of exercise are far reaching. Studies have demonstrated that regular aerobic exercise reduces the risk of death due to heart disease and stroke, aids in reducing weight, helps prevent diabetes mellitus, strengthens bones, and enhances immune function. The psychological benefits are also broad, and most studies suggest a positive relationship between physical fitness and mental achievement.

有些Signal Words表示的是“转折”关系，这些词语有: but, however, although, nevertheless, otherwise 和 yet 等。下面是A篇课文中的句子：

Not many kids know this, but a person can actually learn how to run faster.

“知道这一点的孩子并不多”和“实际上一个人可以学会跑得更快”这两个ideas用but连结，表示一种转折。再如:

A young athlete can increase his speed by practicing sprinting technique in his backyard or playground. It may take some time to perfect, but as with any other athletic skill, the more often one practices, the better one becomes!

同样，作者用but连结了It may take some time to perfect和as with any other athletic skill, the more often one practices, the better one becomes这两个ideas。

再看下面一段：

When it comes to controlling one’s temper, my mother clearly outdoes my father. She will tolerate a lot before she gets angry and prefers to rationalize rather than lose her temper. However, my father’s temper is like a short fuse on a stick of dynamite. (Text C, Unit 3)

作者谈到在controlling one’s temper方面，她的母亲显然比她的父亲做得好。She will tolerate a lot before she gets angry and prefers to rationalize rather than lose her temper，而my father’s temper is like a short fuse on a stick of dynamite。在两个句子中间，作者用However这个信号词表示了一种转折与对比关系。

在阅读时，利用这些Signal Words，可以帮助我们提高阅读速度，加深对文章的理解。

3.do exercise: (10 minutes)

Read the following experts from your textbook. Identify the signal words that the writers use to express shift in thought.

1)… so there is a limit to how much your body can change with exercise. Howerer, you can lose weight by burning (using up) more calories than you take in.

2)It takes quite a bit of practice to become skilled at this technique.However, by running this way, the athlete uses the pull of gravity to move forward, rather than having to use his own energy to push himself forward.

3)Again, there is no guarantee that exercise will prevent a heart attack or a stroke, especially if members of your family have had these diseases.But if you exercise, have a good diet, don’t smoke, and have a relaxed, positive attitude, you will reduce your chances of getting stress related illnesses. Answers : 1) Howerer 2) Howerer 3) but

*Here’s wishing for a whole lot of happiness and sweet surprise to come your way! *May the love and joy of the season fill your heart and home. *Merry Kiss’mas!

下面本单元是A篇课文中的句子：

They dug up all the weeds and picked out all the stones, not because they liked weeding and cleaning, but because it was all part of the hunt for the buried treasure. 他们为什么dug up all the weeds and picked out all the stones呢？原因不是they liked weeding and cleaning，而是it was all part of the hunt for the buried treasure。作者用because表示了这种“因果”关系。

再看下面一段：

My mother is not the bargain shopper. She does not cut out coupons or compare products or prices; she is impatient — if she likes something, she buys it. My father, therefore, has always done our food shopping. He compares products and prices, looks for sales and bargains, and buys only what he needs. He has also always taken care of our household finances and is the bookkeeper and accountant of the family. My father says that my mother has champagne tastes with a beer pocketbook, and she says that he’s cheap, but there is a happy compromise — she spends and he saves.

作者的母亲不是一位bargain shopper，她不剪优惠券（coupons），也不比较商品价格，而父亲很会精打细算，所以(therefore), 他has always done our food shopping。作者用therefore表示了这种因果关系。 2.do exercise: (10 minutes)

Step 2 Practical writing: Thank-you Notes (25 minutes) 1．Thank-you Notes

Everyone should know how to write a good thank-you note because it is polite; it shows you value a person and it expresses your appreciation for what they gave you. Thank-you notes are a polite, formal way of thanking someone. When someone does something for you in everyday life you thank him. This courtesy is just as important in written correspondence. When someone receives a thank-you note from you he feels more positive about your character.

Thank-you notes are very personal and they take time and thought to create, so when a person receives a well-thought-out note, he feels your appreciation even more. Things to include in thank-you notes:

*The date that you are actually writing the note.

*For an informal thank-you, use the name as it is written on the gift card you received. For example, the individual’s name is James, but on the gift’s card he wrote “From Jimmy,” so on your thank-you note it would be “Dear Jimmy…”

*On a formal thank-you note, you would put “Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brown…”

*Mention the gift in your thank-you note: “Thank you very much for the lovely candle sticks…” *Mention what you’ll use the gift for: “We’ll have many romantic nights with these lovely candles…” or “John and I will think of you every time we make a toast…” or “It will keep me warm this winter when it’s cold and snowy outside…” *Closing terms can be, “Sincerely, Mary,” “Love, Mary,” “Affectionately, Mary” , “With Appreciation, Mary.”

Here are some useful expressions to show your appreciation for his/her support and/or friendship:

*I’m so grateful that you are a part of my life. *I’m really glad to have you as my best friend.

*It was so thoughtful and kind of you to give me some of your valuable time. Can’t thank you enough.

*Your support/ friendship makes a world of difference. Thank you for being there. *Please accept my sincerest thanks for… *I can’t tell you how much I appreciate… *There’s no way to thank you enough for…

*What a difference knowing you has made / makes in my life! *I thank my lucky stars for the day we met!

Second Period

Step 2 Practical writing: Notes of Congratulation (25 minutes) 1．Notes of Congratulation

The note of congratulation is a type of “good news” letter, which is often used to build or maintain relationships between friends, colleagues or business partners. For example, a home improvement company might send a congratulatory note to a new homeowner, or a manager might send a congratulatory note to an employee who’s gone above and beyond the call of duty. For example: Dear Steve:

Thanks for your hard work in developing the database of our sales and marketing efforts. You understood the goals of the project and our department from the very beginning, and it shows. I especially liked the supporting documentation you prepared for the final product; it was relevant, thorough, and makes the project much more useful. You’ve ensured a useful, stable product that will be a solid foundation for years to come.

Your talents in conceiving, developing, and delivering this project have been a great asset to our division and company.

Sincerely,

Andrew Long

A note such as this would certainly encourage and reward an employee. A congratulatory note sent to a potential customer can help keep the company’s name fresh in the customer’s mind. A congratulatory note sent to your friends on events such as weddings, births, anniversaries, exam success, getting a promotion, etc. can show how much you value your friendship. For example: My dear Jennie,

I must send you a line to tell you how glad I am to learn of your engagement to Willie. He is a great friend of my cousin Arthur, and we all like him so much. Arthur told my husband yesterday and I felt that I must write at once, because we are really so glad both for him and for you. Will you come and see me when you can and tell me all about it, and if any time is fixed yet? Of course, I want to know everything at once.

Give my love to your mother. God bless you, my dear, and with fondest love. Yours ever,

Delia

Second Period

3. Give the Ss some time to do some exercises and then check the answers (20 minutes)

Step 3 Basic reading skills (15 minutes)

1. Reading for the Main Idea: Topic Sentence (2)

有时，主题句并没有出现在段落的开头，这时候就要注意概括段落中心思想的句子是否在段落的结尾。如：

What about reducing stress by exercising? In fact, studies have shown that doing aerobic exercise (exercise that increases your heart rate) causes the brain to release endorphins, a chemical in your body that reduces pain and relaxes the body. Again, there is no guarantee that exercise will prevent a heart attack or a stroke, especially if members of your family have had these diseases. But if you exercise, have a good diet, don’t smoke, and have a relaxed, positive attitude, you will reduce your chances of getting stress-related illnesses.

作者一开始提出“通过运动来减轻压力又怎么样呢？”接着用研究成果来说明“做有氧运动能减轻疼痛，放松身体”，当然作者也说“不能保证运动会防止心脏病发作或中风”。在段落的结尾，作者概括了这一段的中心思想：But if you exercise, have a good diet, don’t smoke, and have a relaxed, positive attitude, you will reduce your chances of getting stress-related illnesses.

再如：

I have always wondered how my parents were attracted to each other. Their personalities, temperaments, and attitudes toward money are all opposite. The saying that “opposites attract” certainly holds true for them.

段落结尾的一句话概括了这一段的中心思想。 2.do exercise: (10 minutes)

Reread the following paragraphs from your textbook and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph.

1.My mother is not a bargain shopper. She does not cut out coupons or compare products or prices; she is impatient — if she likes something, she buys it. My father, therefore, has always done our food shopping. He compares products and prices, looks for sales and bargains, and buys only what he needs. He has also always taken care of our household finances and is the bookkeeper and accountant of the family. My father says that my mother has champagne tastes with a beer pocketbook, and she says that he’s cheap, but there is a happy compromise — she spends and he saves. 2. “It must be love,” I say about this odd couple. They may be very different, but they are also very compatible. Learning from each other ensures the success of their partnership.

Step 2 Practical writing: Notices (25 minutes) 1．Notices

A notice is an announcement containing information about a future event. We write notice to tell people something that is about to happen or, sometimes, something that has happened. In our life we write notices on a variety of topics including recommended practices in an organization, relocation of the department, apology, warning, etc.

Questions the notice should answer include the following:

*Who? (Who is the sponsor, who is the speaker, who should come, may they bring friends or guest, etc.)

*What? (What is the subject, what is the method of presentation, etc.) *When? (Day, date, time, etc.)

*Where? (Address, building, room, etc.) *Any other key facts? (e.g. cost, if any) For example:

COME AND HEAR BILL GATES LECTURE

3:30 p.m. Tuesday March 5th in the Harvard College

Auditorium

Topic: “How to Get Rich and Enjoy It” Questions allowed afterward Here are some things to do in the notice: *Keep writing brief, simple and to-the-point.

*Use an appropriate, consistent layout, for example, use bulleted list for items. *Ensure that everyone has access to the information.

In addition, the notice should be put up in reasonable amount of time before the event and it should be understandable to every member of the community.

Step 3 Basic reading skills (15 minutes)

1. Reading for the Main Idea: Topic Sentence (3)

在有些英语段落中，我们会发现，作者在段落开头，同时又在段落结尾表达同样的中心思想。比如：

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for chances. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

第一句是主题句,也是这一段要表达的中心思想：成功的语言学习是一种积极的学习。

随后的五句说明成功的学习者是如何积极学习的。最后一句：对成功的学习者来说，学会用所学的语言思维比了解每一个词的意义更重要，实际上深化了第一句表达的思想。 Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for chances. They find Theywilltryanything They are not Whencommunication people to communicate. afraid to is difficult, they can who speak repeat what accept information the they hear or that is inexact or language say strange incomplete. and ask things; they these are willing to people to make correct mistakes and them try again. when they make a mistake. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
