How can we say the same meaning in English? Nothing brave, nothing have.

Nothing seek, nothing find.

Nothing stake, nothing draw.

Nothing venture, nothing win (or have or gain).

Tasks: Read and listen to the three stories on P1. And try to think out the characters they have in common. What do you think helped them out and achieved success in life?

Gou Jian is sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall. Gou Jian was the ruler of the kingdom of Yue, conquered by the neighboring kingdom

of Wu. He was made a slave and suff-ered many hardships. But his tolerance earned the trust of the King of Wu and eventually he was set free. But he never forgot his suffering, slept on firewood and straw every night, and tasted bitter gall-bladder until his kingdom was strong enough and he attacked the King of Wu and killed him.

Questions: 1.

Do you think the characters above have something in common? 1.They had very bad luck at first. Robert the

Bruce and Gou Jian were defeated and Helen Keller was disabled. 2. They never gave up and succeeded at last. 3. All of them were people of great determination. They showed great perseverance in the face of difficulty.

2. What do you think helped them to achieve success in life? Step II. Reading comprehension Pre-reading 1. What is the hardest experience you have ever had? What is the greatest challenge you have ever faced? How did you go through it?

2. Suppose you choose to go on an expedition to Antarctica. What qualities do you think you may need to survive in one of the most unfriendly places on earth? Think of as many adjectives as possible to describe people’s character qualities. make up one’s mind,

be determined to do sth,

persevere with,

stick at, persist in,

not give up, not be discouraged by,

keep going, keep trying, keep positive Positive；

patient,

resilient, persevering, resourceful, focused,

serious, determined, strong-willed Negative ；

obstinate, stubborn,

pig-headed (The “spider-story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of

the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider (蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb (电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?

Second, is the goal (目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: “If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.

The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a

part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.” ) Step III. Reading 1.

This is the true story of one young man, Perce Blackborow, who hid aboard the ship that took Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole. He was accepted by him, once he was found, and became a steward and cook for the rest of the expedition.

When the ship was crushed by ice, Perce was one of those left behind on Elephant Island to wait for rescue. Shackleton and a few others set out through very dangerous seas to South Georgia Island to get help so that they could all be saved.

The conditions for those left on Elephant Island were very bad. They had little food, other than penguin or seal, problems keep-ing warm, problems melting the ice for water and protecting their fingers and toes from frostbite. Perce had to have his toes removed because they bad become affected by the cold.

Nevertheless the small group remained loyal to their captain's instructions: to remain cheerful and optimistic despite all difficulties. Above all they worked to stay alive till Shackleton returned to rescue them.

Answer some questions: 1. Where is the reading passage set? 2. Why is the title of the passage “A successful failure”? Was the expedition a failure? Was it a success? 3.
