Starting out

1
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 Who are the people mentioned in the video and what are their achievements
2 What made them successful
2
Listen and read the poem. Answer the questions.
1 What is the key message of the poem
2 Which of life′s difficulties are mentioned in the poem What is your understanding of the line“Success is failure turned inside out”
3 Do you like the poem Give your reasons.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will，
When the road you ′re trudging seems all uphill，
When the finds are low and the debts are high，
And you want to smile，but you have to sigh，
When care is pressing you down a bit，
Rest if you must， but don′t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns，
As every one of us sometimes learns，
And many a failure turns about，
When he might have won had he stuck it out；
Don′t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt，
And you never can tell just how close you are，
It may be near when it seems so far；
So stick to the fight when you′re hardest hit—
It′s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
(Excerpts from“Don′t quit” by Edgar Albert Guest)

We Regret to Inform You ……
1 “We regret to inform you...”These are the words that every writer dreads receiving，but words every writer knows well .
The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it，their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life′s work，yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight， but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection.
2 Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter，she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers，and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money，spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book，she received comments from publishers along the lines of “too difficult for children” “too long”“Children would not be interested in it”.
Nevertheless，she persevered.“I wasn′t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down，but I often feared that would happen，” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections，one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book，and as we know，Harry Potter became a global success，with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
3 All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J. D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school，but later struggled to get his works published.“ We feel that we don′t know the central character well enough”was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers，J. D.
Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War，he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published，the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies.
4 Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This，however was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate，Robert Southey，wrote to one of them：“Literature cannot be the business of a woman′s life，and it ought not to be.”
Nevertheless，the sisters didn′t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies，the sisters still didn′t give up. They started writing novels，and today Charlotte Bronte′s Jane Eyre，Emily Bront′s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte′s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature.
In fact，it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words：“I honour endurance，perseverance，industry，talent：because these are the means by which men achieve great ends…”
5 So，it seems that talent alone isn′t enough to guarantee success.
While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part，perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...”
Read the passage and find out what problems the writers overcame.

重点句式
1. ...had to pay to have his/her poetry published.
……他/她的诗必须付钱才能出版。
【句式剖析】
have his/her poetry published为have sth done 结构，该结构有三种不同的含义：
(1) 请/让/叫别人(为自己)做某事，强调主语的意志。
I had my computer repaired.
＝ I asked sb to repair the computer for me.
我请人修好了电脑。
(2) 遭遇到某件(不幸的)事情，宾语往往是无意识的受损害者。
I had my purse stolen on the bus yesterday.
＝My purse was stolen on the bus yesterday.
昨天在公共汽车上，我的钱包被人偷走了。
(3) 使完成某事，此事可以是别人完成的，也可以是自己参与完成的。
They′re going to have their house painted.
＝Their house will be painted.
他们打算把房子粉刷一下。(“他们”可能参与粉刷工作，也可能没有。)
【句式拓展】
have sb/sth doing sth
(肯定句)让某人或某事一直处于某种状态
not have sb doing sth (否定句)不允许某人做某事
have sb do sth

2. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words... 继续努力，最终你会读到……
【句式剖析】
这是“祈使句＋ and ＋陈述句”句型，其中祈使句相当于 if 引导的条件状语从句，陈述句相当于主句。
Eg. Go straight ahead and you′ll find the post office.
径直往前走，你就会发现邮局。
Follow the advice of the doctor，and you′ll be well very soon.
听从医生的建议，你很快就会好的。
【句式拓展】
“祈使句＋ and ＋陈述句”句型有三种变化形式：
(1)“祈使句＋破折号＋陈述句”。
Try some of this juice—perhaps you′ll like it.
尝尝这种果汁，也许你会喜欢的。
(2)“名词词组＋and＋陈述句”。名词词组中通常含有more，another，further，earlier等词。
Eg. It is really very dangerous. One more step，and the baby will fall into the well.
真危险。再多迈一步，这个小孩儿就掉进井里了。
A few minutes earlier，and I could have seen the famous scientist.
要是我早来几分钟，就能见到那位著名的科学家了。
(3)“祈使句＋ or ＋陈述句”。or 表示“否则”“要不然的话”，可用 or else 或 otherwise 替换，从反面来预测结果。
Eg. Take the chance，or you will regret it.
抓住机会吧，否则你会遗憾的。
Do as you′re told，otherwise you’ll be in trouble.
叫你怎么做就怎么做，否则你会有麻烦的。
【名师点睛】
对该句型的考查通常集中在三个方面：祈使句部分要用动词原形开头，根据句意确定用 and 还是 or，陈述句中通常用一般将来时。
【单句语法填空】
(1) _________ (listen) carefully or you′ll miss something important.
(2) Let′s keep to the point _________ we will never reach any decisions.
(3) Give blood if you can and many lives _____________ (save).
