Step II 应用实践
After listening, discuss the questions.
What kind of person do you think Chen Liyan is
Did Chen return the money because she didn’t need it
Is it common for people to do what Chen did
How did Wang Zheng feel about the return of his money
Chen Liyan is generous and honest because she returned a large sum of money to the owner.
No. She returned the money because it was the right thing to do. Evidence for this is that she refused to accept the reward money because she felt that it had not been earned.
It depends on the culture. In some countries it is quite common to return money that has been found. In other countries, people believe “Finders are keepers!”
He must have been very happy and relieved to have gotten his money back. We know this because he thanked Chen repeatedly and even offered her a reward.
After listening, discuss the questions.
Why did Ma Dongbao tell Wang about Chen’s family
How did the news reporter feel about Chen’s actions
Is money the basis of a happy life Why or why not
He must have had great sympathy for Chen and her daughter and wanted to help them. We know this because he arranged help for them.
The news reporter felt that it showed that money wasn’t the most important thing in life. We know this because the reporter told us that this is what Chen believes, and then said, “that’s a great attitude to take.”
Money is not the basis of a happy life, as many people are able to find joy in simple things of life, such as nature, their work, and their families. On the other hand, it can be quite hard to live without money, so realistically speaking, having enough money to meet the daily needs can help a person pay more attention to things that bring joy.
Step III 迁移创新
Work in groups. Discuss the following questions.
Do you agree with Chen Liyan What would you do if you were
in her situation
When we help someone, should we expect to get something in
return
What do you think is the best way to get money
Should we judge people based on how much money they have
Make up a conversation.
A: I think that Chen Liyan did the right thing by returning the money and
refusing to take a single cent from Wang Zheng.
B: Well, I think that Chen Liyan was correct in returning the money, but
she should have accepted the money Wang offered.
C: But people shouldn’t expect payment for doing what is right!
B: She wasn’t expecting payment, though. At the same time, she needed the
money to help her daughter. She should have taken it.
A: I disagree. Honesty should be its own reward. Besides, there are other
ways to get money.
B: For example
C: Well, like in the news story, there is fundraising.
B: So we disagree. There is one thing I think all of us can agree on, however.
C: What
B: That we shouldn’t look down on people because they are poor.
A: That’s right!
Step IV 语音学习
Learn intonation.
语调(intonation), 即说话的腔调,就是一句话里的声调高低抑扬轻重的配置和变化。英语的核心调型有升调(↗)、降调(↘)、降升调(∨)。升调和降调是英语中最基本,也是最重要的两种语调。
降调的基本意义是表示肯定、完整、结束等意义,主要用于陈述。
升调的基本意义是表示不肯定、不完整、未结束等意义,主要用于提问。
降升调的基本意义与升调相似，还包含保留、对比、含蓄等意义。
Learn intonation.
1. A: Jean, can you bring me the newspaper
B: ↗Sorry
Jean用升调说sorry,意思是“I didn’t hear you. Could you say that again,please ”。
2. A: Jean, can you bring me the newspaper
B:↘Sorry.
Jean用降调说sorry,意思是拒绝帮助或无能为力。
3. A: Mr Smith thinks we ought to get the money in hand first.
B: ↗Who
A: Mr Smith.
B用升调说who,表示听不清对方谈话中的某一部分,要求对方再重复那一部分。
4. A: We’d like to have someone to say a word at the beginning to welcome the group.
B: ↘Who
A: We thought that you or Dr Johnson might do it.
B用降调说who,其意思是问,对方想让谁在开场时致欢迎词。
Listen to the conversations. Underline the parts that are stressed and mark the intonation. Then talk about the implied meanings of the responses with different intonations. Listen again and repeat.
1. Henry: It’s a nice suit.
Owner: Oh, it’s perfect!
2. Henry: Well, that’s very kind of you.
Owner: Kind, sir No, it’s kind of you. You must come whenever
you want and have whatever you like. Just having you sit
here is a great honour!
3. Henry: Well, to be honest, I have none.
Oliver:(happily) What luck! Brother, what luck!
Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! If this is your
idea of some kind of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. Now if
you’ll excuse me, I ought to be on my way.
Roderick:Please don’t go...
