The Gardenia Corsage

By Edith Patterson My father had always been an astute(敏锐的) observer of human character. Within seconds of meeting someone, he could sum up their strengths and flaws（缺点）. It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test. None did. Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either. After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.

That’s when Jack arrived on the scene. He was different from any other guy I’d dated. He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother, discussing obscure composers（作曲家）. My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home. My sister, Denise, belly-laughed with him over old Danny Kaye films. And Jack was great with my brother Chuck, who has a mental disability. One time, Chuck put his greasy（油腻的）

hands, just dislodged from a cheeseburger, on Jack’s shoulders, kissed his cheek with ketchup-covered（沾满番茄酱的） lips and called him by the wrong name, shouting, “Ah, Jeff, I luv ya!” Jack didn’t miss a beat.

“I love you too, George!” Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s?

Then came the weekend of my mother’s birthday. Jack was coming down from his home in Milwaukee to Chicago. The day he was supposed to drive, I got a call: “Don’t worry,” he said, “but I’ve been in an accident.” His car had stalled; when he pulled over, another car careened into it. “I’m fine—but I need you to pick me up.”

Thank God he’s okay, I thought, as I drove up to Milwaukee. When I got there, we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom. “How about gardenias?” Jack said, pointing out a beautiful white corsage. “You never see those this time of year,” I said. The florist put the corsage in a box.

The entire ride, Jack was unusually quiet. “Are you all right?” I asked. We were pulling onto my mother’s street.

“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking,” he said. “I might be moving.” Moving? When was he going to tell me this? After he packed? Then he added, “Moving in with you.” I nearly put the car on the sidewalk. “What?” I asked.

“I think we should get married,” he said. He told me he’d planned his proposal(求婚) for a fancy restaurant, but after the accident, he decided to do it right away. “Yes,” I whispered. We both sat stunned, tears running down our cheeks, unable to speak. I’d never known such a tender moment. If only Dad were here to give his final approval. “Oh, let’s just go inside.” Jack laughed. We got out of the car and he walked up the driveway, carrying the corsage. My mother opened the door. “Happy Birthday!” we shouted. Jack thrust the box at her. She opened it up. Suddenly, her eyes brimmed with tears. Jack and I looked at each other. “Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked.

“I’m sorry,” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received. I was given one years ago, long before you kids were born.”

“From who?” I asked.

“Your father,” Mom said. “He gave me one right before we were engaged（订婚）.” My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away tears. Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed. Step 3:Careful Reading T:Ask the students to read the passage again in 5 minutes and answer the question:What are the character’s qualities ?Why do you think so ?

S:Read the passage carefully and find out the answers. Conclusion:You must find supportings for your inference(推断)in the passage!

Step 4: Further-reading (1).After Dad died, I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.(para1)

(2).Jack passed my family’s test. But what about Dad’s? (para3) (3).If only Dad were here to give his final approval. (para10) (4).Dad’s test? I knew Jack had passed. (para16)

Question:What’s the author’s feeling each time mentioned her father ? Use some words to describe.

The answer:Unsure----doubtful---- fall in love---sure Also from this part ,we know that the author loved her father deeply,and she wrote her love story according to the emotional route . Summary:We can analyse character’s qualities and emotion from words voice, behaviors ，facial expressions and so on. Step 5:Exercise (1)Analyse Hem ’s human qualities(5')

"What! No Cheese?" Hem yelled. He continued yelling, "No Cheese? No Cheese?" as though if he shouted loud enough someone would put it back. "Who moved my Cheese?" he hollered. Finally, he put his hands on his hips, his face turned red, and he screamed at the top of his voice, "It's not fair!" (2)One day, as I was getting her food, Brownie chewed up(咬破) one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes. We can infer from the Paragraph that Brownie __.(3') A. would eat anything when hungry B. felt sorry for her mistake C. loved playing hide-and-seek D. disliked the author's dad (3)Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete(比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”(4')

1. Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is ______. A. determined B. friendly C. strict D. experienced In order to raise the students’ interest,I finish this part by competing,and some group will get the chance to answer my question,others will just get some funny pictures. Emotion aim Love and be loved! We must love the person around,so that we can be loved,no matter between parents or lovers. Homework 1.Edith couldn’t wait to write a letter to her father about her coming marriage and her love story with Jack. What would she write? 2.The winners just correct others team's writing.

Teaching reflection In this lesson,the students can understand my questions and my intention.They are very active ,and can answer most of my questions correctly.I am really very proud of my lovely students.In the Further-reading part,the students can not give the answer exactly.So I join them when they were discussing,and gave them some help.They are really clever,and we together finished the most difficult part perfectly.However,I also learn that the students can be more active in some parts if I can give them more encouragement .Practice makes perfect.I hope that my students can not only know how to appreciate,but also how to love.
