After the man left, the old man unhappily asked the monk, “Why did you treat him so much better than me?” “Thats not true. Although I seemed nice to him, in fact, I was not. And I didnt treat you so well because I respect you in my heart.” The monk lied. The old man heard that; he hit the monks head with a cane and said, “Good.

People did not travel very much. There were no broad, smooth highways as there are now. The roads were crooked and muddy and rough. If a man was obliged to go from one city to another, he often rode on horseback. Instead of a trunk for his clothing, he carried a pair of saddlebags. Instead of sitting at his ease in a parlor car, he went jolting along through mud and mire, exposed to wind and weather. jolt: vi./vt. 颠簸，震动e.g. The train jolted into motion.

Questions about Para. 1旅馆老板的失算 詹姆斯詹姆斯鲍德温鲍德温 1 1 在约翰亚当斯和托马斯杰弗逊当美国总统和副总统的时侯，世界上还没有铁路，人们很少出远门，当时还没有现在这样宽阔平坦的公路，马路都是弯曲泥泞、凹凸不平的。如果非要从一个城市到另一个城市，人们通常是骑马前往。随身携带的衣服也不是放在箱子里，而是装在一副鞍囊里；没有豪华舒适的客运列车可坐，只能是栉风沐雨，一路颠簸着，穿过泥泞和沼泽。 crooked: a. 1) bent, twisted, or not in a straight line 弯曲的；歪的e.g. The railway got crooked during the strong earthquake. The picture on the wall is crooked. 2) dishonest不诚实的；欺诈的e.g. The crooked cop was fired. oblige: vt. 1) （以法律、义务等）强迫，迫使e.g. The minister was obliged to report at least once every six months. Circumstances obliged him to sell his only house. 2) 帮忙，效劳e.g. We needed a guide and he was only too happy to oblige. focus1text 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Text: The Landlords MistakeBackNextBecause there were no railroads or broad, smooth highways, and the roads were crooked and muddy and rough.1. Why didnt people travel very much during those days?

What difference might one experience between travelling in a parlor car and travelling on horseback? 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 focus1text 2 One day some men were sitting by the door of a hotel in Baltimore. As they looked down the street they saw a horseman coming. He was riding very slowly, and both he and his horse were bespattered with mud. “There comes old Farmer Mossback,” said one of the men, laughing, “Hes just in from the backwoods.” “He seems to have had a hard time of it,” said another, “I wonder where hell put up for the night.” (To be continued) Text: The Landlords MistakeMeaning: He has just got to town from a far away rural area. bespatter: vt. 溅，溅污e.g. Her newly-bought skirt was bespattered with mud. e.g. The acid raindrops were spattering down. mossback: n. 乡巴佬，头脑守旧的人，极端保守的人e.g. The great scientist looks like a mossback.

On the surface, it seems that the landlord was too careless and simple-minded, taking his first impression for granted. Thus he jumped to the wrong judgment. However, if we compare what he did at first and at last to the same person, wed get an insight into this character a typical snob, a person who looked down upon whoever he did not think was as good as himself.

Store each presentation and its associated files in its proper folder. Be brief (no more than 6 bullets/points per slide). Use appropriate fonts: big (min. 28pts) and clear (sans-serif). If possible, test your slides: run the slide show and see if you can read your slides from the last row of the room where you will be presenting. Use appropriate colors: not too bright, high contrast, consistent. Remember that what looks good on your monitor does not necessarily look good on the big screen. Create contrast using different font sizes, colors, etc. BackNext1.

(Remember that slides are just a visual aid if you overload them, the audience will end up trying to read the slides and not paying attention to you.)Use different colors/fonts on every single slide.

Id like to thank the conference organizer for giving me the opportunity to speak to you today. This afternoon Im going to tell you about our company and our products. First, Id like to give you an overview of my presentation. Im going to begin by telling you briefly about the history and development of EastMoto. Then Ill give you an insight into our sales figures over the past decade. After that, Ill take a look at two or three of our key products. And finally, to round off this presentation, Ill be happy to answer any questions. So, lets get started. Ill first turn to the development of our company. BackNext 2. Pair work: a presentation at a sales conference 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 pairwork EastMoto was founded in 1986. At first it imported used Italian motorbikes, and the demand for motorbikes led to the growth of the company. The first main investment came in 1991 when EastMoto bought the present location and built the shop. In 1994 an extension was added. Starting with the importing of bikes, EastMoto today is the authorized dealer for 11 different brands. A staff of 14 people (mechanics, sales people, trainees) are currently employed. Now let me move to the development of our sales over the past decade. Between 5,000 and 15,000 bikes are sold each year. We export to numerous countries around the world, including those in the Far East. BackNext 2. Pair work: a presentation at a sales conference 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 pairwork From 1998 the registration of scooters and motorbikes rose slightly from 6,502 to 7,434 units. It also increased slightly from 1999 to 2000. From 2000 to 2001, it rose dramatically. Between 2001 to 2002, there was a significant increase again. However, due to relocation of our firm, from 2002 to 2003 it dropped dramatically and leveled out from 2003 to _. From 2004 to 2005, it went up dramatically again and dropped slightly in _. It dropped considerably in 2007 before it went up dramatically in 2008 again. Two of our key products are motorbikes and quadsvehicles with four wheels. 60% of EastMotos customers are business customers; that is wholesale business. 40% are private customers and many are regular customers. Many customers lease motorbikes, so that they always haveBackNext 2. Pair work: a presentation at a sales conference 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 pairworkthe latest model. There is also an increasing demand for quads. They are not bikes, but there is the feeling of freedom when you ride on one. If asked about their motivation, most customers probably say: “Fun, speed and acceleration.” May I now have questions from the floor? To sum up, competition is hard and the growth rate may slow somewhat, but EastMoto is still very optimistic about the future. Thank you for listening to my speech. If there is anything we can do for you, dont hesitate to let us know. And we will be honored if you order some of our products. BackNext 2.

Choose the information that is most interesting to your audience and that answers the questions your audience will have. Limit your talk to three to five main points. In a long presentation (20 minutes or more), each main point can have subpoints. Your content will be easier to understand if you clearly show the relationship between each of the main points. Turning your information into a story also helps. 2 Statistics and numbers can be convincing if you present them in ways that are easy to hear. 报告材料的选择报告材料的选择 选择听众最感兴趣及能回答听众疑问的材料。报告重点要限制在3到5个。如果报告比较长（时间在20分钟以上），每个重点可以包括几个次重点。清楚指明重点之间的相互关系使报告内容更容易理解。将材料用故事形式表现效果也不错。 数字和统计数据如能以便于听懂的方式列举出来，可能会有说服力。 present: vt. 介绍，提出；赠送e.g. The man was interrupted by his wife before he was about to present his different viewpoint. TranslationBackNext 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text3 In an informative presentation, link the points you make to the knowledge your audience has. Show the audience that your information answers their questions, solves their problems, or helps them do their jobs. When you explain the effect of a new law or the techniques for using a new machine, use specific examples that apply to the decisions they make and the work they do. (To be continued) BackNext apply to: 适用于；向申请 e.g. The laws apply to everyone regardless of race, creed or color. Translation 在介绍型报告中，要将介绍的要点同听众的知识结合起来，向听众表明所做报告的内容能回答、解决他们的问题或有助于他们所从事的工作。在解释新颁布的一条法律的作用或一台新机器的使用方法时，要举出具体的适用于他们决策或工作的例子。 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation apply to: 适用于；向申请 e.g. The laws apply to everyone regardless of race, creed or color. Types of Presentations: Presentations come in nearly as many forms as there are life situations. In the business world, there are sales presentations, informative and motivational presentations, etc. Presentations can also be categorized as vocational and non-vocational (业余的). In addition, they are expository or persuasive. And they can be impromptu (即兴的), written, or memorized. BackNext 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 textIf your content is detailed or complicated, give people a written outline or other handouts. The written material both helps the audience keep track of your points during the presentation and serves as a reference after the talk is over. BackNext keep track of: 了解的动态，保持的联系e.g. Bank statements help you keep track of where your money is going. handout: n. 散发的材料e.g. It seemed that there were not enough handouts to go round for the meeting. Why prepare handouts? Preparing for a presentation involves more than just creating slides and talking in front of a crowd. You also want to provide your audience with food for later thought in the form of handouts.Translation 如果报告内容很详尽或很复杂，就要给听众散发书面提纲或其他材料。书面材料既有助于听众在听报告时能跟上你的主要思路，又可用作报告后的参考资料。 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 textBackNext 4 To be convincing, you must answer the audiences questions and objections. For example, some people think that working women are less reliable than men. But the facts show that women take fewer sick days than men do. take sick days: 休病假e.g. After the accident, he took three sick weeks (off). c.f.: Due to the financial crisis GMs staff took two more weeks off for the Christmas vacation, unpaid and unwillingly of course. Translation要想具有说服力就必须对听众的提问和反对意见作出答复。例如，有人认为女性员工没有男性可靠。但事实表明女性休病假的日子要少于男性。 3.

If you arent sure, save your evidence for the question phase. If someone does ask, youll have the answer. negative: n. C 否定，拒绝e.g. Their negative was so strong that the plan had to be set aside. phase: n. C 阶段，时期e.g. It was a dangerous phase in the relations between the two nations. Translation然而不要主动抛出消极的或前后矛盾的问题，除非能肯定听众会想到这些问题。如不能肯定，那就把解答留到提问阶段。如果确实有人问到的话就能有问必答。 inconsistency: n. C 不一致，矛盾e.g. She noticed several minor inconsistencies in his argument. have the answer:有问必答，答案就在手边 phase: n. 阶段，时期e.g. It was a dangerous phase in the relations between the two nations. 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text6 ORGANIZING YOUR INFORMATION 7 Most presentations use a direct pattern of organization, even when the goal is to persuade a reluctant audience. In a business setting, the audience is in a hurry and knows that you want to persuade them. Be honest about your goals, and then prove that your goal meets the audiences needs too. Translation 材料的组织 即使目的是要说服有抵触态度的听众，大部分报告也是采用开门见山的组织模式。在商务环境中，听众都很匆忙，也知道你想说服他们，因而要开诚布公地表明你的目标，再证明你的目标也能满足听众的需求。BackNext setting: n. （某事、戏剧、小说等的背景）e.g. How could you be so carefree in a foreign setting? 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text8 In a persuasive presentation, start with your strongest point, your best reason. If time permits, give other reasons as well and respond to possible objections. Put your weakest point in the middle so that you can end on a strong note. setting: n. C the place and time at which an event occurs or a play, novel, etc. is set（某事、戏剧、小说等的背景）e.g. How could you be so carefree in a foreign setting? 在国外这样的环境下你怎么能如此轻松自在呢？ Translation在劝说型报告中，首先要亮出你最有力的观点和最充分的理由。时间允许的话，再陈述其他理由，并对可能出现的反对意见作出答复。把最缺乏说服力的观点放到报告中间阐述，以便于最后能以强有力的语气结束报告。 BackNext note: n. 语气，嗓音 e.g. Her hesitative note gave away her indecision. 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text9 Often one of the five standard patterns of organization will work. Chronological. Start with the past, move to the present, and end by looking ahead. Problem-causes-solution. Explain the symptoms of the problem, identify its causes and suggest a solution. This pattern works best when the audience will find your solution easy to accept. BackNext chronological: a.按时间顺序的e.g. The teacher gave the students a chronological list of events which he thought had caused World War I. This is an imperative sentence, using three coordinate verb phrases with different prepositions.e.g. They started with the appetizer, moved to the main course with dessert and ended by going Dutch. 。Note that chronological stands for “chronological standard pattern”. The word “pattern” or “standard pattern” is omitted for the sake of economy. This applies to the other four patterns listed below such as Problem-causes-solution, excluding alternatives, etc. In Chinese version, however, the omitted word pattern has to be translated.通常奏效的（报告）有五种标准组织模式： l按时间顺序的模式。由过去讲到现在，到最后再展望未来。l问题原因解决办法的模式。说明问题的症状，指出其原因，再提出解决办法。这种模式在听众觉得你提出的解决办法很容易接受时效果最佳。Translation 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text Excluding alternatives. Explain the symptoms of the problem. Explain the obvious solutions first and show why they wont solve the problem. End by discussing a solution that will work. This pattern may be necessary when the audience will find the solution hard to accept. Pro-Con. Give all the reasons in favor of something, then those against it. This pattern works well when you want the audience to see the weaknesses in its position. BackNext pro-con: 正面和反面的理由；赞成者和反对者e.g. You have to think over the pro-con before making a decision. l排除其他选择的模式。说明问题的症状，然后先提出一些显而易见的解决办法，再表明这些办法为什么不奏效，最后讨论一种可行的办法。这种模式在听众觉得你提出的解决办法很难接受时可能有必要。l权衡模式。将正反两方的所有理由一一列出。这种模式在你想让听众识别优劣强弱之分时效果良好。Translation 3. Text: Choosing Information for a Presentation 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 text 1-2-3. Discuss three aspects of a topic. This pattern works well to organize short informative briefings. “Today Ill review our sales, production, and profits for the last quarter.” BackNext briefing: n. 简要情况e.g. A secretary is usually expected to prepare briefings rather than detailed reports for her boss. presentation skillsl1-2-3的模式。论述一个主题的三个方面。这种模式适用于组织简短的情况介绍。“今天我们来回顾一下上个季度的销售、生产和利润情况。Translation 3.

Research project 上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus2 research projectReference research result:Experts worry that bubbles will still exist in Chinas real estate market and will pop right up if the housing market is boosted by the government. But many others believe that, under current circumstances, these measures are not going to stem slumping housing prices. They argue that consumers will continue to wait and see whether developers are going to bring down housing prices even more from the ridiculous heights, so the stimulation package may do nothing to stop housing prices from sliding.

Reading skills Taking a Global Perspective in Reading把握整体 纵览全局 阅读时要从整体出发。远观以把握整体，近看以悟透细节。把握文章的整体框架，纵观文章的总体格局，在了解文章格局之后对文章中的词、句含义进行理解。我们常说“只见树木，不见森林”，用在阅读上就是只关注单词或句子，从而不能对文章进行整体把握，结果是满脑子只言片语，不知文章究竟说些什么。 把握文章的整体结构要先确定文章的体裁。文章体裁一般为:l 记叙文：以叙事为主，有情节、人物和背景三个要素。情节的发展多以时间、地点的转移为线索。因此，阅读记叙文时，必须抓住时间或地点这条线索，以人物为中心，弄清故事的发生、发展、结局。BackNext上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 Focus3 reading skills 2. Reading skills l 议论文：议论文的总体框架简单地讲就是提出话题，然后进行论证，最后得出结论；进行论证时常采用顺次列举法（如“第一、第二、第三、最后”；“首先、其次、再次、最后”），对比法（如“一方面、另一方面”；“如何、而如何”），因果法（先因后果型是先陈述原因，然后说明结果；先果后因型是先呈现结果，然后再分析原因）等。l 说明文：说明文可以说事、摹物，一般按重要性、突出程度、行为步骤等排列。 议论文和说明文的共同点就是段落大多有主题句（较多地出现在段首或段末），抓住主题句，发掘主题句所承载的主旨，就可弄清文章的中心论点。 在把握文章的整体框架时，常用的阅读技巧是略读和跳读。BackNext上海交通大上海交通大学学出版社出版社 应应 用用 型型 大大 学学 英英 语语 系系 列列 教教 程程Thank you!
