When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Whats the big question US presidential candidates should be asking themselves? Is my name short enough? You only have to glance at the credits on a Hollywood movie to see the polysyllabic, ethnic diversity of surnames in the great melting pot of the United States. But when it comes to voting for a president, the gene pool shrinks rapidly, and the preference is for monikers that are blunt and Anglo-Saxon. So if you want to find a way of forecasting who is going to win the race for the presidency, look at the lengths and origins of their names. The pattern since World War II has been for candidates with increasingly short, poster-friendly names. And preferably sounding like they could be the leaders in a mini-series. Watch and Answer (提问 视频)Directions: Listen to a passage about peoples attitude toward fame in the US and answer the following questions according to what you hear.1. What attitudes do people often hold towards names? 2. What can we do with our names? 3-4 Period Text Analysis （提问 板书）Global Reading Task: The passage reveals the relationship between ones name and ones chance of success. According to the author, names can greatly affect peoples life. On the one hand, names with a positive sense work for people, giving added confidence, establishing favorable images and promoting social status. On the other hand, names result in prejudices against people both in their daily contacts with others and in classroom activities. So if your name doesnt suit you, you should change it as soon as possible.The essay can be roughly divided into 4 parts.The passage is made up of eight paragraphs, and, according to the pattern of “statement illustrationsuggestion” the author mainly employs in his writing; it can fall into four parts. Part One (Paras. 1-2) Theses two paragraphs, as a whole, give examples of how names have an effect on peoples life. Paragraph 1 presents a situation and its problem a woman called Debbie felt that her name did not suit her and made her sound as if she were a cook. Paragraph 2 describes how she solved the problem she changed her name when applying for a new job. The new name Lynne made her feel better and help lead to her career success.Part Two (Para. 3) The writer describes something in detail in the first two paragraphs and this leads to a general statement. The general statement is that throughout history, names have not merely identified people but also described them. In this paragraph, the writer supports his general statement with both quotations from the Bible and definitions from Websters Dictionary. Name is not only used to indicate a person, but more importantly, it is associated with the behavior and description of the person.Part Three (Paras. 4-7) These paragraphs with an argument to support the general statement in paragraph 3. Paragraph 4 presents the first argument that names have become attached to specific images. The writers own experience of having his articles published is an example in case. Paragraph 5 offers the second argument: those names with a positive sense can work for you and even encourage new acquaintances. A specific example is given about how a woman refused to meet a man just because of the mans name. paragraph 6 states the third argument that most of us have some prejudiced notions about names and become involved in name stereotyping. Here there are some more examples to show that we project name-based stereotypes on people. Paragraph 7 presents the fourth argument that peoples names are related to their achievement or behavior. Good names are associated with better classroom achievement and a greater degree of popularity among ones peer.Part Four (Para. 8) Since names are so important, the writer recommends that you change name if you feel that it no longer seems to suit you.Exemplification (例证法) Starting an argumentation with an example is a very effective and vivid way to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage:Typical example: For her first twenty-four years, shed been known as Debbiea name that didnt suit her good looks and elegant manner. Quotation (引言法) The quotation from the Bible: “As his name is, so is he.”The definitions taken from the Websters dictionary: “a word or words expressing some quality considered characteristic or descriptive of a person or a thing, often expressing approval or disapproval”. Note well “approval or disapproval”. Exemplification (例证法) A series of examples are cited from the authors and others life experiences to prove “As his name is, so is he”. Statement I: Names become attached to specific images (Para. 4) Exemplification: What bothers the author is his name Joe, which makes him more of baseball player than an art critic. (Para. 4) Statement II: Names with a positive sense can work for you and even encourage new acquaintances. (Para. 5) Exemplification: A survey showed that Susan is womens most attractive name while Richard and David are mens. (Para. 5) One woman turned down a blind date, since the mans name sounded dull, but she felt regret later. (Para. 5) Statement III: Often, we project name-based stereotypes on people. (Para. 6) girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, and Cindy performed better on graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. (Para. 7)A companion study showed girls popularity with their peers was also related to the popularity of their names. (Para. 7) Comparison & Contrast (对比法) Comparison & Contrast, as a typical method of developing a paragraph, is adopted in this passage so as to illustrate the positive and negative effects of names on people. Statement I: Apparently, such prejudices can affect classroom achievement as well (Para. 7)Comparison & Contrast: In a study, teachers gave consistently lower grades on essays apparently written by boys named Elmer and Hubert than they awarded to the same papers when the writers names were given as Michael and David. (Para. 7) Statement II: However, teacher prejudice isnt the only source of classroom difference. (Para. 7) Comparison & Contrast: Dr. Thomas V. Busse and Louisa Seraydarian of Temple University found those girls with names such as Linda, Diane, Barbara, Carol, and Cindy performed better on objectively graded IQ and achievement tests than did girls with less appealing names. (Para. 7) Dialectic (辩证法) From parents point of view: 1. They meant your name to last a lifetime. 2. They had their hopes and dreams when they chose your name. From your point of view: 1. Theyd hardly met you when they picked it. 2. The hopes and dreams they valued may not match yours. Suggestion: If your name no longer seems to fit you, dont despair; you arent stuck with the label. Movie stars regularly change their names, and with some determination, you can, too.
