Why must we learn this? One day our professor was discussing a particularly complicated concept. A pre-med student rudely interrupted to ask, “Why do we have to learn this pointless information”

“To save lives.” the professor responded quickly and continued the lecture.

A few minutes later, the same student spoke up again. “So how does physics save lives?” he persisted.

“It keeps the ignoramuses like you out of medical school,” replied the professor.

2. Reading and underlining Read the paragraph and underline all the useful expressions or collocations in it. Copy them into your notebook after class as homework. Collocations from the paragraph on page 22 go camping去野营, in a mountainous area山区, lie in the open air露营, under the stars在星空下, look up at the stars抬头看星星, think of…考虑；思考, try a third time试第三次, in one’s beds在床上

3. Doing the exercise Now you are going to do the exercise 1 on page 22.

4. Guided Speaking Think of funny stories in English and tell them to your group mates. The Student and the Pharmacist 学生和药剂师

A somewhat advanced society has figured how to package basic knowledge in pill form. A student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available. The pharmacist says, “Here’s a pill for English literature.” The student takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English literature!

“What else do you have?” asks the student. “Well, I have pills for art history, biology, and world history,” replies the pharmacist.

The student asks for these, and swallows them and has new knowledge about those subjects. Then the student asks, “Do you have a pill for math?”

The pharmacist says, “Wait just a moment,” and goes back into the storeroom and brings 优课轩资源网http://www.enteach.net未经授权，本站资源禁止用于任何商业目的

back a whopper of a pill and plunks it on the counter.

“I have to take that huge pill for math?” inquires the student. The pharmacist replied, “Well, you know... math always was a little hard to swallow.”

5. Guided Writing—Learn to write jokes There are two main parts to the structure of a joke. The first part prepares you for the laugh by telling a story which creates a sense of expectation. The second part of the joke, the punch line, provokes laughter by telling an unexpected and different story, yet one which is still compatible with the first, as in this example: “My wife just ran off with my best friend. Boy, do I miss him.” and “I had a mud pack facial done, and for three days my face looked much better. Then the mud fell off.” Notice the assumption that is made in both these examples. In the first, you assume the person telling the story is angry with his wife, so the punch line surprises you because he's feeling something different and unexpected. Again, in the second example, you'd most likely assume the mud had been removed, leaving the face looking better, so the punch line takes you by surprise.

So, to write jokes you need to practice reading statements and writing down the assumptions you make about them. You must be able to interpret the statement (first story line) in at least two different ways in order to provide the second, different story i.e. the punch line. And what to write about? Anything that interests you. Anything you have strong opinions about.

Now write down your own jokes, in English.

6. Closing down by acting Acting out the text is a strategy for motivating us to read out loud the text. We need oral practice and help with pronunciation and so acting out the text really helps us. To end this period, we are going to act the film by Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator.

The Great Dictator 大独裁者

Schulz: Speak —

it is our only hope. The Jewish Barber (Charlie Chaplin's character): Hope... I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor —

that's not my business —

I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible, Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another, human beings are like that. 优课轩资源网http://www.enteach.net未经授权，本站资源禁止用于任何商业目的

We all want to live by each other's happiness, not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful. But we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls —

has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in: machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little: More than machinery we need humanity; More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say “Do not despair”.

The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die [now] liberty will never perish... Soldiers

—

in the name of democracy, let us all unite! Look up! Look up! The clouds are lifting —

the sun is breaking through. We are coming out of the darkness into the light. We are coming into a new world. A kind new world where men will rise above their hate and brutality. The soul of man has been given wings —

and at last he is beginning to fly. He is flying into the rainbow —

into the light of hope —

into the future, that glorious future that belongs to you, to me and to all of us. Look up. Look up.
