Ⅱ Background Information: （讲解 课件） 1．Camel, Marlboro, Players Camel, Marlboro and Players are some of the well-known cigarette brands made in the US. Camel is a brand of cigarettes introduced by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco in 1913. It is the country’s first nationally marketed cigarette. Both Marlboro and Players are brand

names of cigarettes manufactured by Philip Morris. 2．Queen Victoria Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1837-1901) and empress of India (1876-1901). Her nearly -year-long reign was the longest in British history. She presided over a period of British industrial progress, artistic successes and colonial empire-building which became known as the Victorian Era. 3． Prince Albert Prince Albert (1819-1861) was the husband and trusted advisor of Britain’s Queen Victoria. Throughout their marriage, Albert encouraged in his wife a greater awareness of social ills. He took an active role in bringing about reform and discussion of child labor issue. Albert masterminded the Great Exhibition of 1851, with a view to celebrating the great advances of the British Industrial Age and the expansion of the empire. 4． Hollywood Hollywood is the center of the US movie industry. In terms of geography, Hollywood refers to an area consisting of the City of West Hollywood and its vicinity that form part of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. 5．The Third World The Third World was a term originally used to distinguish nations that neither aligned with the West nor with the East during the Cold War, including many members of the Non-Aligned Movement. Today, however, the term is used to denote nations with a low UN Human Development Index (HDI), independent of their political status. Ⅲ listening: （练习 课件） Directions: You will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. The percentage of teens who smoked cigarettes dropped to 28% in 2003, according to a report by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. That was down from 36% in 1999 as measured by the Youth Risk Behavior Survey. It’s a triumph for many people across the nation who worked tirelessly to reverse the climb in teen smoking rates during the 1990s. An equal accomplishment may be the discovery of what works to influence teens’ motivation and behavior. Success has come in communities with a comprehensive program to fight tobacco use by teens. The best school health classes won’t have much effect on teens who already smoke. Many of them need professional help before they can quit. Another interesting finding is that nearly all first use of tobacco occurs before high school graduation. So if adolescents don’t start smoking by age 18, odds are they never will.

How to help problem children get out of their troubles? 3-4 Period Ⅴ Text Analysis （讨论 课件） Global Reading: Main idea：The sight of her daughter smoking sends the author into a great pain and meanwhile reminds her of her father, a cigarette addict, who died from pneumonia. She feels deeply hurt to watch, in no position to help, many people like her daughter follow in her father’s steps, so she appeals to all smokers to quit smoking. Structure：The passage consists of eight paragraphs and roughly falls into three parts in accordance with the stories the author presents: the story of her daughter, the story of her father and her appeal to smokers. Part 1：（Para. 1） The author feels terrible and wants to weep when seeing her daughter smoke. The author presents what she sees in respect to her daughter and how she feels as a mother by Description. Part 2：（Paras. 2–5） Hooked by the illusion about smoking, the author’s father, like many other people, got into the bad habit of smoking, only to die from it. The author recalls the experiences of her smoking father by employing such devices as Time Sequence and Cause and Effect. Part3：（Paras. 6－8） Feeling extremely sorry for her daughter and those in Third World countries who also drag away like chimneys, the author appeals to all people to give up smoking. The author adopts the device of Quotation-citing in this part to enhance the power of her appeal to all the families to prevent themselves from suffering the same tragedy as her family did and cherish their lives.

Cause: What follows is the specific statements of the possible causes. Effect: The last part is about the effect thus caused. When I travel to Third World countries I see many people like my father and daughter. (General Statement) There are large advertisement signs directed at them both: the tough, confident or fashionable older man, the beautiful, “worldly” young woman, both dragging away. (Cause) In these poor countries, as in American inner cities and on reservations, money that should be spent for food goes instead to the tobacco companies; over time, people starve themselves of both food and air, effectively weakening and hooking their children, eventually killing themselves. (Effect) Writing Assignment 1 Directions: Have a look at the sample cause-and-effect paragraph based on the outline below. Topic: Studying abroad is expensive. Cause: ● large expense such as tuition fee, room, board ● other expenses like entertainment, telephone bills, clothing Effect: ● parents working hard to save money ● parents borrowing money [Sample Composition]

11

It is very expensive for the Chinese students to continue their study abroad. (General statement) Most of them have to pay the large expenses, such as tuition fee, room and board, which would on average come up to about $20,000 for a year. Besides, they have to cover other expenses like entertainment, long-distance telephone calls, and clothing. (Cause) As a result, it is not unusual for their parents to spend years saving that amount and some of them have to borrow money from their relatives. (Effect) Writing Assignment 2 Directions: Write a paragraph showing a cause-and-effect relation on one of the following topics. One topic has been given a detailed outline that you can follow. Topic: Problems for mixed marriages Cause: ● cultural differences ● prejudices and doubts ● cruel to children from mixed marriages Effect: ● higher divorce rates [Sample Composition] There are many problems for mixed marriages. The number one reason is the cultural differences between the mixed couple, like those in customs and lifestyle. Many people have prejudice against mixed marriages. They often feel shocked to see people of different races get married and have doubts about such marriages. What’s more, children from mixed marriages tend to be looked down upon or even badly treated by their peers. Mixed marriages face many trials, and as a result, mixed couples have higher divorce rates than couples of the same race.
