Unit 9 Wheels,在人生的道路上,我们每个人都留下了自己的脚印,不管是清晰的,还是模糊的,那都是我们成长的记录。 We always have many colorful dreams.When confronted with a setback,most people will feel upset and complain about it.Every time when there is an activity or a competition,Id like to take part.But the failure makes me frustrated.,One rainy day after Id failed once more,I walked along a path on my own.The path was so muddy that I could hardly walk even a little farther.Whats worse,I fell down.I burst into tears because of exhaustion under the great pressure.For a long time,I just sat where I fell down,looking at the footprints Id left behind.How I was longing for a sunny day at that moment! I thought of walking on the path in sunshine.When I thought of that,an idea suddenly occurred to me.Sure,there will be no footprint left on sunny days,but on rainy days there will be,and the heavier we fall down,the deeper our footprints will be.,Of course,a smooth life is what we long for,but how can we see the rainbow without experiencing a rainy day? Frustration is sure to slow our advancement,but because of it our each step leaves a print.The other way round,those who live smoothly can leave nothing behind.And they can never experience the enjoyment when one succeeds after having failed for many times. Happiness depends on our dispositions,not our circumstances.No matter how bad the circumstance is,we can succeed in the end as long as we keep in high spirits. Do remember:only on muddy roads can we leave deep footprints. 单词注释 setback/setbk/ n.挫折 frustrated/frstreItId/ adj.沮丧的 disposition/dIspzIn/ n.性情;倾向,难句剖析 1.Sure,there will be no footprint left on sunny days,but on rainy days there will be,and the heavier we fall down,the deeper our footprints will be. 译文当然,在阳光灿烂的日子里不会留下脚印,但是在雨天则会有(脚印),而且我们摔得越重,我们的脚印就越深。 剖析这是一个较为复杂的句子。and the heavier.the deeper.与其前(两个)句子为并列关系,其中the heavier.the deeper.为“the+比较级,the+比较级”句型,表示“越越”。,2.No matter how bad the circumstance is,we can succeed in the end as long as we keep in high spirits. 译文不管实际情况多么糟糕,只要我们保持高涨的情绪,最后我们必将成功。 剖析No matter how bad.相当于However bad.,为让步状语从句,表示“不管”,how后要紧跟形容词或副词;as long as.“只要”,引导条件状语从句;keep in high spirits“保持高涨的情绪”。,导读诱思 What can we learn from the text? 答案:We should keep in high spirits and move forward bravely however bad the circumstance is.We must believe we will succeed in the end after having failed many times.,Warm-up & Lesson 1 On Your Bike,Pre-reading 一、看下面的图片,说说人们为什么骑自行车,然后和同学讨论图片后面的问题,Topics for discussion: 1.Why do people like cycling? 2.Describe the advantages of bikes over cars. 3.Discuss the possibility and measures of using bikes in your city/area. 答案:略,二、从右栏中找出与左栏单词对应的英文释义 1.argue a.person who steals something from another person or place 2.arrest b.an advantage that sth. gives you;a helpful and useful effect that sth. has 3.thief c.believing that sth. you want will happen 4.insert d.to speak angrily to sb. because you disagree with them 5.hopeful e.a result of sth.that has happened 6.therefore f.to put something into something else or between two things 7.convenient g.as a result of something that has just been mentioned 8.benefit h.to take someone to a police station because the police think he/she has done something illegal 9.consequence i.useful,easy or quick to do;not causing problems 答案:1.d 2.h 3.a 4.f 5.c 6.g 7.i 8.b 9.e,三、短语互译 A.温故:从文中找出下列短语并写出它们的汉语意思 1.plenty of 2.because of 3.thanks to 4.fight with sb. 5.argue with sb. 6.insert sth. into B.知新:从文中找出与下列汉语对应的短语 7.锻炼 8.从中受益 9.便于 10.不愉快,厌烦的 11.节约能源 12.结果,因此,大量的,许多的 因为 因为,多亏,由于 与某人打架 与某人争论 把插入,work out benefit from/by be convenient for (be) fed up save energy in consequence/as a consequence,While-reading 四、阅读课文,选择正确答案 1.The “return of the white bikes” means .
