III.Teaching Procedures 1.lead-in: When you see the title ―A fable for Tomorrow‖, what comes into your mind first? Why is this passage called a fable? What can this fable be about? What are some of the problems relating to the future most people are very concerned about?

A fable is an imaginary story told to teach a moral.―A Fable for Tomorrow‖ is a story invented by the writer which is meant to tell us a moral: if the sizable use of chemical insecticides can not be brought under control, the seemingly impossible tragedy will become a stark reality.World economy has been striding forward in the past century.However, this has been achieved at the cost of contaminating the environment we are living in, and human beings are now paying high prices for what they have done to nature.Meanwhile, many environmentalists are devoted to making more people realize the ecological consequences incurred in the process of modernization.Now environmental protection and sustainable development have become the two greatest concerns for the whole world.Types of Pollution The chief types of environmental pollution include air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, pollution caused by solid waste and hazardous waste, and noise pollution.Besides, pesticides have been regarded by many environmentalists as a type of pollution, too.It is believed that pesticides are poisons which should be used as a last resort and if used, then they should be used with extreme caution.1)Make a short speech, telling a story or describing a scene about the future world in one of the aspects such as medicine, environment, food, energy, housing, population, transportation, etc.Reference1:

Back from the Dead One morning in the year 2070, a man called Duane awakens.He looks up and sees a doctor in a white coat smiling at him.―Why am I in hospital?‖ he asks.―You’ve been sick.‖ The doctor replies.Then Duane notices a badge on the doctor’s coat.It reads ― Alcor Resuscitation.‖ Suddenly Duane remembers everything.He has come back to life, 70 years after he ―died‖.The reason this was possible is because, instead of being buried or cremated when he died, Duane’s body was preserved in a ―flask‖ of liquid nitrogen(at –196 degrees Celsius).And there it ― waited‖ until science had developed the technology to revive a frozen human being.Suddenly, a woman appears beside the doctor.It is Duane’s wife Jeannie, looking more beautiful than ever.For the past 70 years, she has been taking drugs that prevent her body from aging.Duane looks lovingly at her, and then at his own body.That , too, is in perfect condition.The couple look at each other apprehensively—after all, they haven’t seen each other for 70 years.―I guess we’ve got some stuff to talk about, huh?‖ Duane says to her.Reference 2:

stApril Fool’s Day is on April 1.It is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting.No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France.New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st.When New Year's Day was changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple,(such as saying, “Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate.Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag.The news media even gets involved.For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about ”spaghetti farmers“ and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, ”April Fool!“

April Fool's Day is a ”for-fun-only“ observance.Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their ”significant other“ out to eat in a fancy restaurant.Nobody gets off work or school.It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

1)The reason why little girl like Barbie very much is that she looks like real people and can be dressed up in a perfect way.2)Man-made objects, though out-numbered by natural objects, play a more and more important role in people’s life.3)The number of man-made object is increasing steeply, compared with the number of natural objects as well as its actual number.4)The little girl of today would gladly use their old Barbie to exchange the new version of Barbie whereas their mother or grandmother would be reluctant to throw away their dolls until they fall-apart simply, because they are too old nothing could be more obvious than the difference between them.5)The societies and people that are used to poverty reject the practice of using one product only for once or a short time and then replace it by a new one.6)It is meaning that less for a man who is fairy old to say that he wants to develop a hobby in this or that form.7)It is sensible that you further develop the hobby;you already have instead of trying to cultivate a new one.8)Taking up a hobby and living a more regularized way of life are the most effective way to save them from their boredom.9)The long hour’s work in the office or factory provides these people with the money so they can live their lives and gives them a strong desire for the simplest pleasure.10)In fact, it is highly likely that those people who take their work as their pleasure are need to divert their effort from work from time to time urgently.11)The ability to do the right thing at the right time is essential to a good leader.12)A leader must be good at exercising his authority(this is a quality that a leader must have)and be able to demonstrate to the people that he does.13)A leader should find out what the people want to do or have, and guide them to achieve it.14)If we are not powerful, determined and brave, we can’t except to find a good leader, no matter how skilled we are in shopping images, we can’t make him to be what he is not, he is only a representative of all of us.15)John Dewey has said seriously that the degree that someone’s behavior can influence the custom is the same as the degree that his body talk can influence his mother tongue.16)The result from a serious study of the custom which is not influence by the outside shows that what Dewey said is just an objective description of the fact.17)If we still think that our culture is superior to those of the people who we regard as uncivilized, underdeveloped or irreligious, the study anthropology must be meaningless.18)We must realized that all the beliefs are based on the same thing, the intangible and should be treated equally along with our own.19)I believe that people in the society high above me are selfless, pure, noble and very intelligent.20)But it is difficult for a man of the working class to improve his social status, especially when he was full of objectives and imaginations 21)It is physically strong, and they profited a lot by exploiting my strength, but I only lived a poor life.22)He was no longer strong enough to make money by selling his strength and had nothing left to him, he had no other choice, but to slide down to the bottom of the society and die there in misery.23)After 100 years, the black people is still suffering in the isolated part of American society, and he feels like an outcast in his own country.24)We can see very clearly that as far as the black people are concerned, America didn’t fulfill its promise.25)We are here to demand the fulfillment of the promises which can guarantee us our freedom and justice.26)This is not the right time to calm down and adopt gradualism, waiting patiently for a solution.

Unit11 培養業余愛好

1)一位頗有天賦的美國心理學家曾經說過：“焦慮是情感處于極度緊張的一瞬間、腦筋執著于某一件事死死不放?！痹谶@樣情況下，任何擺脫焦慮的努力都是徒勞的。你越急于擺脫這種困擾，就越難達到目的。你只有慢慢地往這緊張的思緒里摻進一些別的東西。如果這些東西選擇恰當，如果它能真正引起你對其他方面事物的興趣，那么你心中那個緊繃著的弦就會逐漸地，而且往往會很快地松弛下來，心情開始恢復正常。

2)因此，培養一種業余愛好或新的興趣形式，對于一名公務員是頭等重要的行事之道。然而這不是一朝一夕之事，也不是僅僅憑借意志力就能迅速即興完成的工作。培養其他的智力興趣是一個長期的過程。必須精心挑選好種子，必須將種子播種在肥沃的土壤中，必須悉心照料它們，這樣在需要時能給人帶來生氣的果實才會唾手可得。

3)要想生活真正得愉快和安全，你就得有至少兩三種實實在在的愛好。到了年邁才開始說：“我要培養這樣或那樣的愛好?！边@是徒勞的。因為這樣只會使你的神經繃得更緊。一個人也許會獲得大量與他本身日常工作毫不相干的知識，然而這些知識卻不能使他獲益分毫，或感到輕松。這時候憑興趣而工作已經為時太晚，你只能一心一意的去愛你所從事的工作。大體上講，人可以分為三類：第一類人勞碌終生，第二類人憂慮終生，第三類人終日游手好閑。對于一個勞累了整個星期的體力勞動者來說，讓他在星期六下午去踢一場足球或打一場棒球是毫無益處的。而對于一個忙碌了一周或為一些重要的事情而擔憂了一周的政治家、專業人士或商人來說，在周末還要他去為一些雞毛蒜皮小事而操心也是絕不可取的。

4))至于那些要風得風，要雨得雨，一切都隨心所欲的人，他們是很可悲的。因為任何一個新的驚喜或意外都只會讓他們生膩，他們不停地這兒竄竄，那兒跑跑，企圖擺脫那些無所不在的無聊的困擾，但一切都是徒勞。對于他們來說，最好的解決辦法就是過上一種有約束性的有條不紊的生活。

5)可以這樣說，凡是理智、勤勉、有作為的人也可以分為兩種：第一種，他們的工作就是工作，娛樂就是娛樂；第二種人，他們的工作和娛樂合而為一。這兩種人中前者占絕大多數。他們有他們的補償方式。在辦公室或工廠長時間工作會給他們以回報，這不僅僅是指維持生計的手段，還包括對娛樂的極度渴望，哪怕是再簡單在樸素不過的娛樂。但是受到命運垂青的人往往屬于第二種類型。他們的生活是一種自然地和諧。對于他們來說，工作時間永遠不夠長。每天都是假日，而一般的節假日到來時，他們卻不愿意過，認為那強行打擾了他們非常有趣的工作。但是對于兩種類型的人來說，轉變一下觀點，換一換環境，轉移一下精力，都是十分必要的。確實，那些工作即娛樂的人很可能就是最需要是不是讓精神從工作匯總放松的人。
