I don’t know how many of you know me. Not many I guess because we have not taken many classes together yet. Now I will introduce myself briefly. My name is Liu Gang. I am 19 years old and come from Beijing. I moved to Beijing with my parents at the age of 7. I miss the beautiful countryside where I spent my early childhood. I plan to pay a visit back there some time in the future. There are three members in my family. Both of my parents are workers. My father knows how to play the erhu and he taught me a little bit when he was not busy. In my spare time, I like reading, traveling, playing the erhu and doing sports. Basketball is my favorite sport. I also spend a lot of time online. I first learned about the Web when I was in junior high school. I have been in love with it ever since. Sometimes my friends ask me what I do online for so many hours everyday. I use the Web to study, read news, make new friends and search for information. Of course I play computer games too. I know computer games are additive, but I am sure I am in control of the computer, rather than being controlled by it. I am not very strong in English, but I know it’ll be very useful for my future career, because all people around me told me so, my uncle in particular. He is my father’s youngest brother and he is now living in the US. He is a programmer in Silicon Valley. He graduated from Tsinghua University. He asked me to do my best in English. My high school English teacher also did a lot to help me improve my English. I would not be standing here speaking to you today were it not for his help and encouragement. I will work hard in this semester together with every one of you here. Thank you!   Activity 2: (Open) Viewing / Listening Script for Video 1102 Coming up, her appearance in the world’s biggest talent show … made her a pop princess to billions of fans. … Where do you see this girl. This is the biggest…this is the biggest talent show on earth that most of us in America have never heard of. Last season 1.2 billion people voted during the completion. It’s the Chinese mega hit called “Super-voice Girl” that some describe as a national obsession. So let’s meet the show’s breakout superstar. Take a look. Growing up the bustling city of Chengdu, China, Jane Zhang dreamed of becoming a singer. Her father earned a meager living as a truck driver. Her mother was an office assistant. At fifteen, Jane and her mother were left penniless after her father died. To earn money, Jane took a job singing at a local pub after school and soon became a local favorite. In 2005, she joined 120,000 singing hopefuls vying for a chance to compete on a new TV talent show called “The Mongolian Cow Sour Yogurt Super Girl”. Jane was chosen on the spot. Her stunning range, especially those high notes, earned her the nickname “the dolphin princess.” Wow! Four hundred million people, four hundred million people, tuned to see who would be China’s next super-voice girl and although Jane didn’t win, she is the one who shot the stardom. For three straight years she’s been named China’s best female artist and she’s topped the charts with a stunning 15 No. 1 hit singles, making her, making her American television début. Please welcome China’s Jane Zhang. Activity 1 Her name: Jane Zhang Her childhood dream: to become a singer Her family: father, a truck driver; mother, an office assistant; penniless after her father’s death Her part time job as a singer in the pub: to earn money, did it after school, soon became a local favorite Her participation and her performance in the Super Voice Girl Competition: breakout superstar; chosen on the spot; stunning range, high notes, dolphin princess; didn’t win; shot stardom Her strength in singing: stunning range Activity 2 Activity 3 Activity 4 (Open) Part Three: Exploring the Field Passage 1 情系新奥尔良 比尔·克林顿 我和外祖父的生日是同一天。我早产了两三个星期，出生时体重可观，达到6磅8盎司，身长21英寸。母亲带我回到了霍普镇赫维街上她父母的家中。在这幢房子里，我将度过未来的四年。当时这幢老房子对我来说是又大又神秘，至今仍记忆深刻。霍普镇的居民募了些钱，把房子恢复了原貌，在里面挂了些老照片，摆放了各种纪念品以及当时的家具，他们称此处为“克林顿诞生地”。毫无疑问，我生命中的很多第一次都与此地有关――第一次闻到了乡村食物的香味；看到了乳酪搅拌机、冰激凌机、洗衣板、凉衣绳；第一次拥有了自己的《迪克和简》系列读物和玩具，玩具中包括当时我最喜欢的一根普通的链条；第一次通过“公共电话”听到了陌生人的声音；结交了最早的朋友，看到了外祖父母干的活儿。 过了一年左右的时间，母亲拿定主意要回到新奥尔良的慈善医院，她曾在那里接受过一点护理培训，学习当麻醉护士。过去，医生们自己给病人打麻药，因此当时需要有人做这种新的工作。这份工作使母亲有了更高的社会地位，也给我们增加了收入。然而，要把我落下，母亲心里准不好受。话说回来，战后的新奥尔良真是个不错的地方，到处是年轻人，到处是迪克西兰爵士乐，到处是人们频繁光顾的像“至爱吾爱”那种有男扮女装的人唱歌跳舞的夜总会。在我看来，对于一位年轻漂亮的寡妇来说，这样的一座城市有助于她走出丧夫之痛。 我曾两次去新奥尔良看望母亲，都是外祖母领我坐火车去的……50多年来，从第一次到新奥尔良起，这个城市就一直对我有着独特的魅力。我喜欢这里的音乐，这里的食物，这里的人，还有这个城市的精神。15岁那年，我们全家前往新奥尔良和海湾地区度假，就在那次，我平生第一回听到著名小号手阿尔·赫特的演奏，而且是在他自己的俱乐部里。起先门口不让我进，因为我年龄太小。就在我和母亲准备离开的时候，门卫告诉我们，赫特就坐在街角处自己的车内看书，只有他才能让我进去。我果然在他那辆超级宾利车里找到了他，敲下他的车窗，跟他说明了情况。他从车里出来，把我和母亲领进俱乐部，安排在前面就座。他和乐队演奏了一组极为好听的曲目——这是我生平第一次现场聆听爵士乐。阿尔·赫特去世的时候，我正当总统，当时我给他妻子写了封信，把这段故事告诉了她，并向其 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 达我深深的感激之情，感谢一位大人物多年前对一个小男孩的仁慈。 上中学时，我曾用次中音萨克斯独奏过一首关于新奥尔良的曲子，叫做《新月城市组曲》。我一直认为，我表现出众是因为我把自己对这座城市最初的记忆融入了我的演奏。 我21岁的时候在新奥尔良荣获了罗兹奖学金。我觉得自己面试时发挥出色，部分原因是我有一种回家的亲切感。在我成为一名年轻的法学教授之后，我和希拉里曾有过几次愉快的新奥尔良之行，我们来此参加会议，住在法国区一家叫“玉米杆”的别致小旅馆。就任阿肯色州长时，我们在新奥尔良“糖碗”体育馆参加橄榄球赛，结果输给了亚拉巴马。那也是传奇人物贝尔·布莱恩特获得的最后几次伟大胜利之一。但至少他是在阿肯色州出生并长大的！竞选总统时，新奥尔良人民两次让我赢得了压倒多数的选票，保证了路易斯安那州的选票投向我们一方。 如今，世界上多数的大城市我都去过，但新奥尔良的地位却永远特殊——因为这里有密西西比河上“叫早”餐厅的咖啡和煎馅饼；有典藏厅的老伙计，阿隆和沙蒙·尼维尔的音乐，还有对阿尔·赫特的追忆；在这里，我们曾清晨慢跑穿过法国区；我们和约翰·布鲁、谢里夫·哈里·李以及其他一些伙伴遍尝了众多一流餐厅里令人垂涎欲滴的饭菜；最重要的是，这里有对我母亲最初的记忆。所有这些都仿佛像磁铁一般始终吸引着我沿密西西比顺流而下，来到新奥尔良。 Activity 1 1.

Being a law professor To have a reunion with his mother Chronological order of the visits: c, e, a, f, b, d.       Activity 4: Love for the music: Line 15: …New Orleans was an amazing place after the war full of …Dixieland music and over-the-top haunts like the Club My-Oh-My, where men in drag danced and sang as lovely ladies… Line 22: …I got to hear Al Hirt, the great trumpeter, in his own club…He and his group played a great set—it was my first live jazz experience… Line 30: When I was in high school, I played the tenor saxophone solo on a piece about New Orleans called Crescent City Suite… Line 41: …for the music of Aaron and Charmaine Neville, the old guys at Preservation Hall, and the memory of Al Hirt… Love for the food: Line 41: for coffee and beignets at the Morning Call on the Mississippi…for amazing meals at a host of terrific restaurants with John Breaux, Sheriff Harry Lee, and my other pals… Love for the people: Line 29: …I wrote his wife and told her the story, expressing my gratitude for a big man’s long-ago kindness to a boy. Line 32: …I won a Rhodes scholarship in New Orleans. I think I did well in the interview in part because I felt at home there… Line 38: When I ran for President, the people of New Orleans twice gave me overwhelming victory margins, assuring Louisiana’s electoral votes for our side. Line 41: …the old guys at Preservation Hall, and the memory of Al Hirt…for amazing meals…with John Breaux, Sheriff Harry Lee, and my other pals The Spirit of New Orleans: New Orleans was not only a city full of excitement, but also a place filled with great people like Al Hirt and John Breaux, Sherriff Harry Lee. Activity 5 Bill was born on my father’s birthday, a few weeks before he was due. He was a big baby, weighing six pounds and eight ounces and measured twenty-one-inch. We went back to my parents’ house on Hervey Street in Hope and we spent the next year or so together there. Then I decided to leave Hope alone to earn money and maybe find a new life. I worked as a nurse anesthetist at Charity Hospital in New Orleans where I had got my nursing training. Leaving one-year-old Bill was hard for me but no better choice was available then. My parents helped me to take care of little Bill until he was four. Mother took him to see me twice in New Orleans and they came by train. Passage 2 贝 思 道恩·桑德斯 我曾时常在熙熙攘攘的走廊上看见她一个人独自走着，有时候一群姑娘窃窃私语、笑咯咯地跟在她后面。偶尔男孩子们会取笑她。有一次，我和她迎面对视，但她随即将目光转向地面，仿佛有些羞耻。其实她不知道，真正感到羞耻的应该是我，而不是她。 贝思并没有跟我同班到 小学 小学生如何制作手抄报课件柳垭小学关于三违自查自纠报告小学英语获奖优质说课课件小学足球课教案全集小学语文新课程标准测试题 毕业，但是我们7年级以前一直在一个班。现在回想起来，7年级之前的岁月正是我人生无忧无虑、最美好的童年时代。即便如此，天真烂漫的孩子有时候却非常残酷。 从一开始，贝思就与众不同，是一个外人。她相貌就有别于他人，金黄色的头发绳子般一条一条的，衬着不好看的脸，把又长又尖的鼻子凸显出来。可能因为不停地吮吸大拇指，她的下巴覆咬合很厉害。瘦骨嶙峋的肩膀上，挂着一件旧得褪了色的套头衫，由于多次洗涤，套头衫已经变了形，式样也老掉牙了。她皮肤泛白，一幅营养不良的样子。大家都认为贝思特别笨，在我们看来很容易的问题她却常常弄不懂，她的成绩一直在班级垫底，老师的帮助也丝毫不起作用。 我们都不带贝思玩。假如哪次我们让她加入，也是因为这样我们可以合起伙来取笑她。男孩子们会大骂，拽她的头发，午餐的时候还会偷她的食物。起先，贝思还试图抵抗，渐渐地，她仿佛失去了斗志，变得沉默、孤僻。 有这么一件事我记得特别清楚，那是在5年级的时候，班上有个叫弗雷德?沃歇克的小霸王，是我们老师的儿子，总是想干什么就干什么，而且干的坏事一般都很残忍。在弗雷德的恐怖主义统治期间，贝思成了他的主要攻击目标，饱受嘲弄和折磨。 一天，乘沃歇克太太出去办事的功夫，弗雷德在贝思的椅子上放了一枚图钉，我不知道贝思是不是看见图钉了，她迟疑着，不愿坐下去。但弗雷德命令贝思坐下，并且威胁说，如果她胆敢违抗命令，就把她撞倒。贝思仍然拒绝坐下。弗雷德就使劲地把贝思推倒在椅子上。贝思立刻跳起来，脸上肌肉痛苦地抽搐着。弗雷德生气地再次把她推倒，并按住不让她起来。全班本来还饶有兴致地旁观弗雷德的恶作剧，但这时却开始不安起来，可并没有人敢站出来维护贝思，因为害怕弗雷德报复。最后老师回来了，弗雷德若无其事地走回自己的座位，贝思这个时候抽抽嗒嗒地哭起来。沃歇克太太跟往常一样，根本不予理会，后来她见贝思的哭声越来越大，就责怪她好哭，干扰课堂。 这件事让我意识到，长期以来，我们大家对待贝思有多么糟糕。从此以后，别人再取笑她时，我不再加入，但我也没有站出来阻止他们。我没有跟贝思交朋友。当时学期很快要结束了，贝思因为成绩太差而留了一级。她也许会因为离开我们班而感到庆幸吧，反正我自己因为离开她而有点如释重负的感觉。 事实表明，留级对贝思来说是件再好不过的事了。她转入的那个班级更加接纳她。此后5年当中，我时不时地还会看到她，看到她交了朋友，有了信心。贝思的成绩进步了，参加了校排球队，当上助理图书管理员。她还找了份兼职，能买些漂亮的衣服。我越来越钦佩贝思，她摆脱了我们班扣在她头上的“失败者”的帽子，取得了一些成绩。事实上，她一直就不同寻常，只是我们从来没有注意到罢了。我们只看到了外表，而没看到里面的那个人。 Activity 1: Guess                                        Check l Beth’s appearance                            l Beth’s relationship with the author                l Beth’s relationship with the class                l Beth’s parents                                l Beth’s childhood                            l Beth’s dream of the future                    l Beth’s likes and dislikes                        l Beth’s academic performance                    Activity 2 1.

I am very interested in this position and I am writing this letter to apply.  I am an eighth-grader. I am active, confident and cope well with people. I am a member of the varsity volleyball team. The sport not only strengthens my body, but also gives me confidence in myself. Last semester I took a part-time job as a campus guide. It was a great experience. I got to know different people and learned to communicate with others. The part-time working experience also taught me the importance of hard-working and self-respect. I used to be treated badly by my class and felt really bad about myself. But now I’ve recollected confidence in myself. Having been through all these difficulties, I trust I can do the job better than anybody else. Please give me favorable considerations. Your earliest reply will be highly appreciated. Background information 1. Bill Clinton: former US President (1946– ) Facts at a Glance Term: 42nd President of the United States (1993–2001) Born: August 19, 1946 in Hope, Arkansas Full Name: William Jefferson Clinton Education: Georgetown University (1968), attended Oxford   University (1968–1970), Yale Law School (1973) Religion: Baptist Marriage: Hillary Rodham on October 11, 1975 Children: Chelsea Victoria (1980) Career: Lawyer, public official Political Party: Democrat William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III; August 19, 1946) is an American politician who served as the 42nd President of the United States from 1993 to 2001. Inaugurated at age 46, he was the third-youngest president. He took office at the end of the Cold War, and was the first president of the baby boomer generation. Clinton has been described as a New Democrat. Many of his policies have been attributed to a centrist Third Way philosophy of governance, while on other issues his stance was center-left. Born and raised in Arkansas, Clinton became both a student leader and a skilled musician. He is an alumnus of Georgetown University where he was Phi Beta Kappa and earned a Rhodes Scholarship to attend the University of Oxford. He is married to Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has served as the United States Secretary of State since 2009 and was the Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. Both Clintons received law degrees from Yale Law School, where they met and began dating. As Governor of Arkansas, Clinton overhauled the state's education system, and served as Chair of the National Governors Association.
