UNIT 1.
And so I do not have a criminal record. But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on. I had the “right” accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor. Given the obscure nature of the charge, I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty. While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor’s case quite obviously revolved around the fact that I had a “brilliant academic record”.
UNIT 3
These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of me. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe.
A “promotion” out of teaching would give me money and power. But I have money. I get paid to do what I enjoy: reading, talking with people, and asking questions like, ” What is the point of being rich?”
And I have power. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to suggest books, to point out a pathway. What other power matters?
But teaching offers something besides money and power: it offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that rare student who walks into a teacher’s life and begins to breathe. Perhaps love is the wrong word:magic might be better.
I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.
UNIT 5
My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears on Wednesday was a perfect index of how little I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the couch, I began very slowly to understand.
“I guess we all have to fail sometime,” Mother said quietly. I could sense her pain and the tension of holding back the strong emotions that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me turned. I reached out and put my arms around her.
She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed. I held her close and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could, and that it was enough. In that moment, feeling Mother’s back racked with emotion, I understood for the first time her vulnerability .She was still my mother ,but she was something more: a person like me, capable of fear and hurt and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I had sought comfort in her arms.
Unit 6

“Take this with water”
“Do you think it will do any good?”
“Of course it will.”
UNIT 7
HARLOWE (with phony laughter desperately trying to relieve
situation) Block party’s not a bad idea. (looking
around at others) Anything to get back to normal.
STOCKTON (looks from face to face and slowly shakes his head)
Normal? (a pause) I don’t know. I don’t know what
“normal” is. I though I did, but I don’t any more.
HARLOWE I told you we’d pay for the damages---
STOCKTON (stairs at him) The damages? (he nods) I wonder if
we realize just what those damages are? (he looks from
face to face again) Maybe the worst of them was finding
out just what we’re like when we’re normal. The kind
of people we are. Just underneath the surface. I mean
all of us. A lot of naked animals who attach such great
importance to staying alive that they claw their
neighbors to death just for the privilege. (he leans
against the stairway wall, suddenly desperately tired,
very softly as he turns away from them) We were spared
a bomb tonight… but I wonder if we weren’t destroyed
even without it.
UNIT 8
Now picture yourself-as vividly as possible-the way you want to be. Remember to picture your desired goals as if you had already attained them.Go over all the details of this picture See them clearly and sharply. Im- press them strongly on your memory. The resulting, memory traces will supposedly start affecting your everyday life. They will help lead you to the attainment of your goals.
Of course daydreaming is no substitute for hard work. If it's athletic achievement you want, you also have to get lots of practice in your sport. You have to work hard to develop skills. If it's school success you're after, you can't neglect studying. Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire. But in combination with the more usual methods of self- development, it might make a critical difference. It could be the difference between becoming merely good at something and becoming a champion.
