1.Warm-up Activity: Questions for Ss’ discussion: 1)What do you often do in your spare time? 2)What do you think of the role that reading plays in you life? 2.Text-organization Part I(Para1)Introduction: My profound knowledge is the result of my prison studies.Part II(Para 2-14)Main body: How I began my prison studies and how hard I kept it.Part III(Para 15-16)Conclusion: The prison studies is so significant that it has changed my
life course forever.3.Skill Learning in Writing and Reading Text A is an example of a personal narrative.Malcolm X is telling an important story from his own life, and he presents the events in the order in which they occurred.Malcolm X?s story is effective because it is centered around a theme-how his prison studies have changed his life by giving him a love of reading – and because it contains many details that let the reader vividly picture the experience he is describing.For example, to write a story of an important event from your own life.This could be an event from your personal life or an important event from your school career.Be sure to clearly describe the events and to include details which will let the reader know how you felt and why this event was important to you.4.Language Points 1.Many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television … will think that I went to school far beyond the eighth grade.– Many people who are actually present at my speeches somewhere or hear them on television these days… will think that I have got much more education than just eight years? schooling.If you do something or go somewhere in person, you do it or go there yourself so that you are physically present.e.g.I had seen her before on TV, but she looked very different when I met her in person.They talk a lot to one another, over the telephone and in person.2.Bimbi had always taken charge of any conversation he was in, and I had tried to emulate him.– Bimbi had always been the leading speaker of any conversation in which he took part, and I had tried to follow his example.Take charge of – take control of;become responsible for e.g.The boss asked him to take charge of the office for a few days when she was away.They advertised for a nurse to take sole charge of their children while they were at work.3.But every book I picked up had few sentences which didn‘t contain anywhere from one to nearly all of the words that might as well have been in Chinese.– But every book I took up was full of sentences which contained one or almost all of the words which were completely unknown to me.Few sentences which didn?t contain = many sentences that contain Anywhere from one to nearly all – indefinitely from one to almost all You can use anywhere to refer to a point(e.g.an amount)within a stated range when you do not know what exactly the point is.e.g.You could expect to be paid anywhere between $7 and $15 an hour.He could get anywhere form three to seven years? imprisonment.Words that might as well have been in Chinese – words that were as unknown to me as if they had been in Chinese 4.still going through only book-reading motions –still reading books without understanding what they said go through motions – pretend to do something by making the movements associated with the particular action e.g.The actor went through the motions of putting imaginary noodles into his mouth.He caught my eye and went through the motions of sympathetically clapping.5.the best thing I could do was get hold of a dictionary – the best way to carry on reading was to find a dictionary get hold of – take in the hands;manage to find e.g.I threw him the rope and he got hold of it.Where can I get hold of some stamps? The phrase get hold of is an infinitive without to used as the subject complement of the sentence.While in most cases an infinitive with to is used as the subject complement, to can be omitted when the subject contains a structure in which the verb do occurs.e.g.Your mistake was not to write that letter.What I suggest is to start work at once.All she seems to do is gossip with her neighbors.What I really wanted to do was drive all night.6.I was lucky enough to reason also that I should try to improve my penmanship.It was sad.– It certainly did me a lot of good to decide that I should also improve my handwriting, which was regretful.Penmanship refers to the skill, style or art in writing, while handwriting is simply a person?s particular way of writing.e.g.He spends hours a day practicing penmanship.I can?t read his handwriting.Sad can be used to express regret about an unfortunate situation that is being described.e.g.The sad fact is that full employment may never be regained.It?s sad state of affairs when people are afraid to go out at night.7.both ideas = the idea o learning new words and the idea of improving handwriting
8.thumbing uncertainly through the dictionary‘s pages –turn the dictionary?s pages quickly and casually 9.to start some kind of action – in order to make a beginning, no matter what it was some kind of is used to describe or refer to something that is uncertain or is roughly like the thing mentioned.10.I copied … everything …, down to the punctuation marks.– I copied … everything …, including even the punctuation marks.Down to – including even e.g.She could describe what the other women in the room are wearing, down to the color of their stockings.Nobody was free from suspicion, from the head boy down to the youngest pupil.11.I read back … everything I?ve written on the tablet.I woke up the next morning, … immensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one time, but I?ve written words that I never knew were in the world.Judging from the context in which the past tense is used with other verbs in the above two sentences, there seems to be an improper use of the present perfect tense where the past perfect tense should normally occur.The phrase I?ve written should perhaps be replaced by “I?d written”.12.Funny thing, from the dictionary‘s first page right now, that ―aardvark‖ springs to my mind.– It?s strange that right at this moment that word “aardvark” which I learned from copying the dictionary?s first page is still fresh in my mind.Spring to / into – start or come into existence very quickly and suddenly e.g.Say the word “Australia” and the vision of beaches and blue seas immediately springs to my mind.A computer will not spring into action without something powering it.13.live off(a particular kind of food)– live by eating the only kind of food e.g.These animals with long necks live off the leaves of tall trees.We lived off fruit for a week.14.I went on into the B‘s.– I continued to copy the dictionary?s B section.15.That was the way I started copying what eventually became the entire dictionary.– In that way I started copying and finally I copied the whole dictionary.What is used here in the sense of “the thing that” to name or describe something often implying a changing process in which something becomes true to that name of description.e.g.I share your concern about what is rapidly becoming a desperate situation.The village was located in what is now a large industrial city.16.between what I wrote in my tablet, and writing letters – over the period of time from starting to write in my tablets to writing letters between here indicates a period of time from one event to another.e.g.between conception and biological birth
There was a gulf of ten years between him and his youngest sister.17.You couldn‘t have gotten me out of books with a wedge.– You could never have forced me away from books.A wedge is a piece of metal, wood, rubber, etc.with a pointed edge at one end and a wide edge at the other, which is either pushed between two objects to keep them still or forced into something to break pieces off it.For either of purposes a wedge is driven with force.18.in a prison where there was heavy emphasis on rehabilitation, an inmate was smiled upon if he demonstrated an unusually intense interest in books – in a prison whose chief objective was to help him live a normal life again, a prisoner was encouraged and approved if he showed particularly keen interest in books
smile on/upon sb./sth.– approve or encourage sb./sth.e.g.The government began to smile on small businesses when it realized that they were the key to economic growth.Fortune has smiled upon us(i.e.We are successful)today.19.Some were said by many to be practically walking encyclopedias.– Many people said that some inmates were very informative.A walking encyclopedia – a very informative person.Walking is used to describe a person in terms of an object, in order to emphasize a particular quality that the person has.e.g.a walking dictionary She?s a walking history book.20.when the new world opened to me, of being able to read and understand = when the new world of being able to read and understand opened to me read and understand –read with comprehension the word understand here is italicized for emphasis? sake.The author was now able to read and understand, but, earlier, he was “going through only book-reading motions(para.2)”
21.could check out more than the permitted maximum number of books – could borrow more books than the average inmate was permitted at most check out(a book, etc.)– register(a book, etc.)as having been borrowed 22.serious reading – reading that requires concentration to understand or appreciate, as in contrast to reading for pleasure 23.It always seemed to catch me right in the middle of something engrossing.– Lights always seemed to be out just when I was reading something that completely held my interest.If you are in the middle of doing something, you are busy doing it and do not want to be interrupted.e.g.I was in the middle of washing up when the telephone rang.He?s in the middle of planning his departmental budget.24.The glow was enough to read by, once my eyes adjusted to it.–As soon as my eyes became accustomed to it, the light from the corridor lamp was enough for reading.25.feign sleep – pretend to be asleep feign and pretend Both feign and pretend mean to put on a false or deceptive appearance, but feign is especially used of an emotion.e.g.Everyone feigned surprise when he told how old he was.I don?t want to go tonight – I shall feign(or pretend)illness.She pretended that she was no at home when we rang the bell.26.in the years in the streets – in the years when I was homeless 27.reflect upon / on –think deeply about;consider carefully when you reflect upon or on something, you think deeply and carefully about past events or about something that involves possibilities or opinions rather than definite facts.e.g.I reflected on all that he had said to me.The manager demanded time to reflect upon what to do next.28.As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.– Today I believe that it was my ability to read that made me conscious of a strong inner desire to be mentally active which had long been suppressed in me.Crave and desire Crave implies the force of physical or mental need(as of hunger, thirst, love, or ambition), while desire often implies intention or aim.e.g.He was craving for a smoke.What people crave is peace and security.He passionately desired to continue his career.We all desire happiness and health.29.I certainly wasn‘t seeking any degree, the way a college confers a status symbol upon its students.– Of course I wasn?t studying for any university degree, which is a symbol of rank given to its students by a university.To confer something such as an honour, a gift or status on or upon someone means to give it to them.e.g.Degrees are conferred in July and December.The honour was conferred on / upon him just after the war.30.I don‘t think anybody ever got more out of going to prison than I did.– I believe no one ever benefited more than I did from going to prison.Get sth.out of – gain or obtain sth.from e.g.I never get much out of his lectures.She seems to get a lot out of life.5.Grammar Focus The pattern may / might as well do sth.You can use may as well or might as well do sth.To mean that you will do it although you do not have a strong desire to do it and may even feel slightly reluctant about it, or to suggest that no harm should be caused or no difference made by doing sth.Examples: I may as well admit that I knew the answer all along.Since nobody else wants the job, we might as well let him have it.I thought I might as well go: you can?t keep saying no to people.6.Guided Practice(exercises, oral practice and group work)1)Summary
A).Ask several students to retell the text by using their own words.B).Talk about the main idea or theme of the text.2)exercises: vocabulary and word-building 3)group the students in 4-6, discussing the topic “ what are the factors that contributed to your reading achievements”
7.After-class Assignments
1.Recite the paragraph on page 45.and, 2.Finish the exercises of vocabulary and structure
Text B Reading for life Language Points: 1.Today is the first day of the rest of your life.What is implied by the statement is: How are you going to make a new beginning in your life? 2.Skills are skills.Pleasures are pleasures.—Skill s and pleasures are two absolutely unrelated things.You cannot have both at the same time.3.Reading is more than that.—Reading means more than just skill and pleasure.4.how to stay alive as long as you live—how to remain mentally active as long as you are physically alive 5.With some, youth slips away before being properly savored.–In the case of some people, their youthful days are quickly passed without being fully enjoyed.6.―Some men see things as they are and say ?Why?‘ I dream things that never were and say ?Why not?‘‖—―Some people think of things as they exist and ask ?Why do they exist?? I picture things that never existed and ask ?Why did they never exist??”
7.After all , a little bit of greatness hides in everyone.Let books bring it into full bloom.—However, there is something great lying in every person.Let books help it to become fully developed.8.a measure of your possibilities—a means to know what you can possibly achieve
A possibility is something that you are able to do and that you might do.9.a vocational counselor and consultant—a person who gives expert advice to people who need guidance in deciding on their jobs 10.You may even find them rated.– You may even find these programs offered in different levels.11.The day of only one lifetime career may be almost over.– The time is almost gone when a person never changes his jobs or careers for life.12.out on the street—out of work 13.experience extender –supplement to experience 14.We‘re not born with instant replay.—We don?t have the instinctive ability to experience again what has been already experienced.15.Books never impose on us.—Books never force us to read them.If someone or something imposes on you, they unreasonably expect you to do something for them or to spend time with them when you do not really want to.Examples: I hope it?s not imposing on you, but could I stay to dinner?

After all, money is not everything.The richest people are not necessarily the happiest.1.The new mechanism is not so effective as they had expected, for months passed and there has been no big improvement in management efficiency.新的機制并不像他們預期的那樣有效,因為數月過去了,但管理效率并沒有明顯改進。2.I don’t want to scare you unnecessarily, but you might as well face facts and look at a few numbers.我不想不必要地嚇唬你,可你最好還是面對事實,看看一些數字吧。
3.Loneliness is marked by a sense of isolation.Solitude, on the other hand, is a state of being alone without being lonely and can lead to self-awareness.孤獨的特點是一種與世隔絕感,而獨居則是獨自一人卻不感到寂寞的狀態,它能引發自我意識。
4.Loneliness is a negative state.One feels that something is missing.It is possible to be with people and still feel lonely——perhaps the bitterest form of loneliness.孤獨是一種消極的狀態,你會感到失去了某種東西。你可能與別人在一起仍然感到孤獨—這也許是孤獨最痛苦的形式。
5.Solitude is a positive state of engagement with oneself.Solitude is desirable, a state of being alone where you provide yourself wonderful and sufficient company.獨居是一種與自我相約的積極的狀態。獨居是值得向往的,是獨自一人、享受自我愉快而又充實的陪伴的一種狀態。
6.Thoreau says that loneliness can occur even amid companions if one’s heart is not open to them.梭羅說,一個人即使身處同伴之中,如果不對他們敞開心扉,仍會感到孤獨。

(para.3)By turning off lights, the television,and the computer when you are through with them, you can help a lot.Analysis: By is followed by a gerund, introducing a prepositional phrase of manner.Note,by is not necessarily always translated as “通過”.4)(para.8)One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy products that don’t use as much energy.Analysis:Two That-clauses are used to serve as post-modifiers of nouns:the first one is that we put into the air, modifying greenhouse gases;The second that-clause is that don’t use as much energy, modifying products.Note: In translation, the noun phrase products that use as much energy can simply be translated into”節能產品”, instead of “不消耗那么多能量的產品”.B.Important Words 1)trap:v store(energy, gas or water,etc.)so that it cannot escape.2)Stand-by:n.Readiness for duty.3)Absorb:v.Take in,sack up(liquid,heat,knowledge,etc.)4)Membership: n.Being a member of(an organization)5)Swell:v.(number or amounts)grow bigger;expand.4.Passage Translation 5.Read and Think: Answer the following questions according to the passage.6.Read and Complete

Passage two Information Related to the Reading Passage 1.Language Points: A.Explanation of Difficult Sentences 1)(para.1)The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes.Analysis: To remember about...is the post modifier of the sentence subject the most important thing, and that introduces the complement clause.2)(para.1)As it is not very common in Britain to have long periods when the weather stays the same day after day, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on the luck.Analysis: Within the as-clause of reason, there is a relative clause introduced by when and modifying periods.And in its main clause, there is another relative clause you get modifying weather, with the relative that omitted.3)(para.2)For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won’t see people meeting or spending time together outdoors as much as you do in hotter countries.Analysis: for people to meet outside modifies opportunities.Both meeting or spending time together are the object complement of verb see, and do refers to see...4)(para.3)Foreigners are often amused that the British people spend so much time discussing the weather.Analysis: That is often used to introduce a clause which gives the cause or the effect of an adjective, just like amused in this case.5)(para.4)Another reason is that the British people are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends.Analysis:Here that introduces a subject-complement clause, in which a relative who-clause modified people.6)(Para.4)A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.Analysis:Note that when or is used to coordinate two subjects, the verb must agree with the subject after or.To break the ice is an infinitive clause modifying an easy way.B.Important Words 1)depend: v.A.change according to(no passive)
