Hugo,Interpretation:,When we feel disappointed,sad,lonely or miserable,we tend to feel as if we were living in winter.But laughter is a good medicine and it can work miracles.If we make a conscious effort to laugh,we will soon find that we are in a better mood.Here,Victor Hugo tells us,in a humorous way,the importance of being optimistic in times of adversity.,Click Picture,What seems to us as bitter trials are often blessings in disguise(,伪装,).Oscar Wilde,Click Picture,Interpretation:,Life is full of trials.When you are in difficulty or suffer a setback,dont despair.You can always find something good in what seems to be a bad thing.Once youve gone through the trials,you will find yourself stronger and in a better position to attain success.,Click Picture,Interpretation:,The attitude of a person colours things around him or her.A pessimistic person is always focusing on the negative side of things.Even when there is a good opportunity,a pessimist will think about the possible dangers or risks involved in it.An optimist does recognize the difficulties,but he or she chooses to focus on the positive side.,A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity;an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.,Winston Churchill,Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.,Helen Keller,Click

optimism and pessimism to shape our outlook and our expectations?,3.What is the authors choice?Why does he make such a choice?,4.What does the authors experience in the service station tell us?,5.Whats the meaning of the sentence“Optimism doesnt need to be naive”(Para.9)?,Exercise 2:Text A can be divided into three parts.Now write down the paragraph numbers of each part and then give the main idea of each in one or two sentences.,Part,Para(s).,Main Ideas,I,II,III,1-3,4-7,8-10,It is necessary to choose optimism to shape our outlook and expectations.,The author suggests that we direct our attention to positive and constructive thinking rather than to negativism.,The author illustrates the effect of negativism through his own experience.,Some psychologists believe that ones state of mind has great influence over ones social and intellectual performance,and the quality of life depends much on ones attitude towards life.If this is the case,then can we consciously make our emotions work for us in a constructive way?The following passage provides a positive answer:by simply choosing optimism,we can lead a better life.,Choose Optimism,Rich Devos,If you expect something to turn out bad,it probably will.Pessimism is seldom disappointed.But the same principle also works,in reverse,.If you expect good things to happen,they usually do!There seems to be a natural cause-and-effect relationship between optimism and success.,2 Optimism and pessimism are with powerful forces,and each of us must choose which we want,so as to,shape,our outlook and our expectations.There is enough good and bad in everyones life ample sorrow and happiness,sufficient joy and pain to find a rational basis for either optimism or pessimism.We can choose to laugh or cry,bless or,curse,.Its our decision:,from,which,perspective,do we want to,view,life?Will we look up in hope or down in despair?,1,4 An optimistic attitude is not a luxury;its a necessity.The way you look at life will determine how you feel,how you perform,and how well you will get along with other people.,Conversely,negative thoughts,attitudes,and expectations themselves;they become a self-fulfilling prophecy,.Pessimism creates a sad and hopeless place where no one wants to live in.,3 I believe in the upward look.I choose to,highlight,the positive and,slip,right,over,the negative.I am an optimist,by,choice,as much as,by,nature,.Sure,I know that sorrow exists.I am in my 70s now,and Ive,lived,through,more than one,crisis,.,But,when all is said and done,I find that the good in life is far greater and more important than the bad.,feed on,6 By the time I left the service station,I was feeling a little uneasy.About a block away,I pulled over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror.How did I feel?Did I look that bad?Was everything all right?By the time I got home,I was beginning to feel a little sick.Did I have a bad liver?Had I picked up some rare disease?,5 Years ago,I drove into a service station to get some gas.It was a beautiful day,and I was feeling great.As I walked into the station to pay for the gas,the attendant said to me,“How do you feel?”,That seemed like an question,but I felt fine,and,told him so.,“You dont look well,”he replied.This took me completely by surprise.A little less confidently,I told him that I had never felt better.Without hesitation,he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.,odd,7 The next time I went into that gas station,feeling fine again,I,figured,out,what had happened.The place had recently been painted a bright but,disgusting,yellow,and the light reflecting off the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis!I wondered how,many other folks had reacted the way I did.I had let one short conversation with a total stranger change my attitude for an entire day.He told me I looked sick,and before long,I was actually feeling sick.That single negative,observation,had a profound effect on the way I felt and acted.,8,The only thing more powerful than negativism is a positive affirmation,a word of optimism and hope.One of the things I am most thankful for is the fact that I have grown up in a nation with a grand tradition of optimism.When a whole culture adopts an upward look,incredible things can be,accomplished,.When the world is seen as a hopeful,positive place,people are given the power to attempt and to achieve.,9,Optimism doesnt need to be naive.You can be an optimist and still recognize that problems exist and that some of them are not dealt with easily.But what,a difference,optimism,makes,in the attitude of the problem solver!For example,through the years Ive heard some people say that the money spent on our space program has been wasted.“Instead of spending$455 million to put a man on the moon,”they say,“why not spend that money here on earth on the poverty problem?”But when you ask them exactly how they would spend that money to solve the poverty problem,most of them dont have an answer.“Give me a solution,”I tell them,“and Ill,raise,you the money.”Think,in,positive,terms,about how to,address,the issue rather than,criticizing,money spent on another program,such as Americas space program,which has,resulted,in,many positive discoveries that have,benefited,mankind.,10,Optimism draws our attention away from negativism and *it positive,constructive thinking.,When youre an optimist,youre more,concerned,with,problem-solving than with useless fault-finding.In fact,without optimism,issues as big and ongoing as poverty have no hope of solution.It takes a dreamer someone with hopelessly optimistic ideas,great persistence,and unlimited confidence to tackle a problem that big.Its your choice.,channels,into,If you were in the following situation,how would you look on the positive side of the situation?Discuss the topic in groups and share your views with the whole class.The tips in the box may be of some help.,(,Open.,),Situation:,I had been dreaming of becoming a student at a famous university such as Peking University or Tsinghua University,but my dream was never realized because of my poor performance at the entrance examination,so I have had to go to a university that does not come up to my earlier expectations.,already do my best,look into the future,the outstanding people from my university,a comparison of my university and Peking University/Tsinghua University,the good teaching staff and teaching facilities in my university,my strong desire to succeed,Key Words for Text B,ritual,conservative,estimate,response,entertainment,routine,innocent,startle,reputation,historical,significance,awareness,harden,cynical,management,feedback,prior,comment,enormous,Expressions for Text B,have no idea,run into,mull over,get/have the hang of sth.,1.I was now more determined than ever to prove to my students that there was something to celebrate every day and to work a daily dose of good news into our learning environment.(Para.6),2)Paraphrase the sentence.,Now I was much sure that I should show to my students that every day we always had something good to celebrate and we could always add or include some good news to the classroom.,1)Translate this sentence into Chinese.,于是我比以往更加坚定地要向学生证明：每天都有值得赞美庆祝的事，我还要每天都往我们的学习氛围里注入一些好的消息。,2.My fears that they might be too hardened by life and cynical were quickly allayed.(Para.9),2)Paraphrase the sentence.,My worries were soon eased when I found that my adult students had not been left cold and unfeeling by their experience of the world but were as willing as my high school students
