Para. 17-26The future development of Sirtris and its owners major concerns.3.Analysis of Part 1 (Para.1-3)Questions :Q1. Whats the main idea of Part I (Para. 1-3)? This part introduces the three main factors of the text: the productresveratrol, the companySirtris and the entrepreneur Westphal, which consists of the quintessential part of the whole story. Q2. What is Sirtris goal? In fact, Sirtris is a lab which focuses on the research of medicines that can boost peoples health and slow their aging process. Resveratrol is one of its product. Q3. Is it easy for Sirtris to develop such kind of medicines? No. For all that to happen, Sirtris must spend many years doing the research about the medicines functions. Besides, it has to take many risks to venture into this biochemical field. To achieve its goal, it must have a dreamer, a science whiz and a riverboat gambler. Words and expressions:unprepossessing (Para.2)不吸引人的；不讨人喜欢的 adj. not very attractive or noticeable example: Despite his unprepossessing appearance, he was very popular with women.in the wake of (Para. 2) 在.后面，紧随其后 If something, especially something bad, happens in the wake of an event, it happens afterwards and usually as a result of it. example: Famine followed in the wake of the drought.in somebodys/somethings wakebehind or after someone or somethingexample: The car left clouds of dust in its wake. retard (Para. 4) 妨碍，阻滞，抑制 vt. to delay the development of something, or to make something happen more slowly than expected =slow down example: Cold weather retards the growth of many plants.synonyms: delay, hold up, slow down, obstructSentence Interpretation and paraphrasing:Few medical discoveries have generated so much instant buzz- even Jay Leno riffed about it in his opening monologue. (Line 7, Para 1) Few medical discoveries have aroused so big and quick response from the market-even Jay Leno, the famous comedian talked humorously about it in his opening speech. Three years ago one such paradox strolled into the Harvard lab that put resveratrol on the map and set in motion events that may in time radically transform the way we age (Line 7, Para 3) Three years ago, one person with such kind of contradictory characteristics walked into the Harvard lab. It was him who started advertising resveratrol and made it well-known and launching some activities which were very likely to make ready and complete changes to our way of aging 4.Analysis of Part 1 (Para.4-16)Questions :Q1. Whats the main idea of Part II (Para. 4 -Para. 16)? Westphal, as an entrepreneur, was hardworking, extroversive, humble and led a simple lifestyle and a unique working style. He used to be a well-experienced venture capitalist with risk-taking spirit, but it was not very smooth for him to establish Sirtris, the lab focusing on researches on the new medicine.Q2. In para. 8, the author says “Westphals frenetic personal resembles attention deficit disorder”? What does he mean? The author does not mean Westphal has attention disorder. He implies that Westphal is a very capable person who can spread his attention over several matters at the same time. Q3. Does the medicine produced by Sirtris cure human aging? No. As Westphal has explained many times that his company is working to cure diseases of aging, not to cure aging itself. Therefore its medicine can only slow down the aging process.

His lead haberdasher is probably Levis. (Line 1, Para. 7)Westphal does not look like other CEOs who dress very formally. He mainly dresses in jeans. But in his case its probably better described as bandwidth-coming-out-of-the-ears syndrome. (Line 2, Para 8) It is not precise to describe Westphal as having attention deficit disorder. His hearing span is very wide and can listen to and deal with different things all at the same time Hes also a disarming extrovert who genially crushes competitors into the dust. (Line 3, Para.9) Westphal is an outgoing person who easily makes friends and defeats the competitors completely. 5 5 minutes given to students to sum up the main idea of Part 1 & Part 2 according to their own understanding.Step III Consolidating exercises Step IV Conclusion作业布置Recite key words for the dictation and translation教学后记授课时间第 10 周 第 1 次课授课时数3授课方式（请打）理论课（ ） 讨论课（ ） 实训课（ ） 习题课（ ） 其 他（ ） 授课题目（教学章、节或主题）：Unit 12 Entrepreneurship -Text A Can Red Wine Help You Live Forever?教学目的、要求（分掌握、熟悉、了解三个层次）：1 To master key words and expression2 To improve competence of translating and interpreting教学重点及难点：1 To learn how to paraphrase in English2 To learn how to grasp key points in comprehensive reading 3 To simulate the live field to form a similar surroundings to students to do business affairs教学方法及手段：Situational teaching, Role-play, FCM教学过程与教学内容：Step I Lead-in -Discussion1.
