From American Beauty

Watch the movie clip and answer the following questions.

Script

Lester:That’s my wife, Carolyn. See the way the handle on those pruning shears matches her gardening clogs? That’s not an accident.

Jim:Hush, Bitsy! Hush, what’s wrong with you?

Lester:That’s our next-door neighbor, Jim. And that’s his lover, Jim.

Jim:You spoiled her. Bitsy, no bark. Come inside now. Me? Come on. Yes. Inside.

Carolyn: Good morning! Jim!

Jim:Good morning, Carolyn.

Carolyne: I love your tie, that color!

Jim:I just love your roses. How do you get them to flourish like this?

Carolyn: Well, I’ll tell you. Eggshells and miracle-Gro. I’ve never heard about that.

Lester:Man, I get exhausted just watching her. She wasn’t always like this. She used to be happy.

We used to be happy. My daughter Jane. Only child. Janie’s a pretty typical teenager: angry,

insecure, confused. I wish I could tell her that’s all going to pass, but I don’t want to lie to

her.

Carolyn: Jane, honey, are you trying to look unattractive?

Jane: Yes.

Carolyn: Congratulations! You’ve succeeded admirably. Lester, could you make me a little later, please, because I’m not quite late enough.

Jane:Nice going, dad.

Lester:Both my wife and my daughter think I’m this gigantic loser. And they are right. I’ve lost something. I’m not sure what it is, but I know I didn’t always feel this sedated. But you

know what …

Questions:

1. What do you feel from Lester’s words?

Answer: He is depressed and sedated.

2. What do you think of their marriage?

Answer: Very cold and passionless.

II. Cultural background

1. Divorce in America

The divorce rate in America is reported to be more than 50%, which means one in two couples will break up. Why is it so high? What is the real reason for them to divorce? Freedom is one of the most important beliefs for Americans and nothing can replace it. So if they think the love and family can’t offer them happiness and safety, they would choose to divorce. They wouldn’t think more about the family or the children because they take themselves as the center. What’s worse, as the divorce rate in America rises, bad effects do are indeed brought on children who are used to growing up with both parents.

2. The Three Most Common Marriage Difficulties & How to Stop Them

① Money

Money is a sensitive area and your household finances need to be properly structured. You and your spouse should define your core values. Try to come to an understanding about what you both care the most about spending money on.

② The in-laws

It is not uncommon for some mothers- or fathers-in law to overstep their boundaries and interfere with their child’s marriage. If your in-laws are causing difficulties in your marriage, you and your spouse will then need to set boundaries with your parents.

③ The way they spend their time together

Of course, you and your spouse have individual needs and interests. However, you and your spouse should focus on the time you spend together, instead of the activity itself.

Section Two Global Reading

I. General analysis of the text

Marriage is a social union or legal contract between individuals that creates kinship. People get married for such reasons as legal, social, emotional and economical; for public declaration of love; or for the lawful foundation of a family. Marriage practices are diversified in different cultures. They are dependent on many things, such as conventions, habits, legal system, etc. How much do contemporary people value their marriage? What are the possible causes of their difficulties in regard to marriage? How can marriage be more rationally understood?

This text attempts to convince the readers that marriage is thought to be full of difficulties by all people, conventional and unconventional, past and present, and it suggests that taking a proper attitude towards these difficulties may make some difference.

II. Structural analysis of the text

The text falls into three parts:

Part I (Paragraph 1): The author, after quoting Russell on the subject, puts forward his own argument that difficulties in regard to marriage have been an old issue for centuries.

Part II (Paragraphs 2 – 7): The author analyzes the roots of such difficulties by listing quotations from famous literary works and famous people.

Part III (Paragraphs 8 –9):The author assigns the causes of unhappy marriages to the excessive consciousness of difficulties in human beings, and encourages people to face the difficulties in marriage bravely.

III. Rhetorical features of the text

In this text the author often makes comments on the people he quotes or what is said by those people so as to express his own opinions. Listed below are the comments made by the author in Paragraphs 5 – 7:

… the reputed saying of the henpecked Socrates, ... . (Paragraph 5)

Burton is far from encouraging! (Paragraph 5)

Pepys scribbled in his diary ... (Paragraph 5)

The pious Jeremy Taylor was as keenly aware that marriage is not all bliss. (Paragraph 6)

The sentimental and optimistic Steele … (Paragraph 6)

Dr. Johnson, … devoted husband though he was … (Paragraph 7)

Section Three Detailed Reading

MARRIAGE

Robert Lynd

1 “Conventional people,”says Mr. Bertrand Russell, “like to pretend that difficulties in

regard to marriage are a new thing.” I could not help wondering, as I read this sentence, where one can meet these conventional people who think, or pretend to think, as conventional people do. I have known hundreds of conventional people, and I cannot remember one of them who thought the things conventional people seem to think. They were all, for example, convinced that marriage was a state beset with difficulties, and that these difficulties were as old, if not as the hills, at least as the day on which Adam lost a rib and gained a wife. A younger generation of conventional people has grown up in recent years, and it may be that they have a rosier conception of marriage than their ancestors; but the conventional people of the Victorian era were under no illusions on the subject. Their cynical attitude to marriage may be gathered from the enthusiastic reception they gave to Punch’s advice to those about to marry －“Don’t.”

2 I doubt, indeed, whether the horrors of marriage were ever depicted more cruelly than

during the conventional nineteenth century. The comic papers and music-halls made the miseries a standing dish. “You can always tell whether a man’s married or single from the way he’s dressed,” said the comedian. “Look at the single man: no buttons on his shirt. Look at the married man: no shirt.” The humour was crude; but it went home to the honest Victorian heart.

If marriage were to be judged by the songs conventional people used to sing about it in the music-halls, it would seem a hell mainly populated by twins and leech-like mothers-in-law. The rare experiences of Darby and Joan were, it is true, occasionally hymned, reducing strong men smelling strongly of alcohol to reverent silence; but, on the whole, the audience felt more normal when a comedian came out with an anti-marital refrain such as:

O why did I leave my little back room

In Bloomsbury,

Where I could live on a pound a week

In luxury

(I forget the next line).

But since I have married Maria,

I’ve jumped out of the frying-pan

Into the blooming fire.

3 No difficulties? Why, the very nigger-minstrels of my boyhood used to open their

performance with a chorus which began:

Married! Married! O pity those who’re married.

Those who go and take a wife must be very green.

4 It is possible that the comedians exaggerated, and that Victorian wives were not all viragos

with pokers, who beat their tipsy husbands for staying out too late. But at least they and their audiences refrained from painting marriage as an inevitable Paradise. Even the clergy would go no farther than to say that marriages were made in Heaven. That they did not believe that marriage necessarily ended there is shown by the fact that one of them wrote a “best-seller”

bearing the title How to Be Happy Though Married.

5 I doubt, indeed, whether common opinion in any age has ever looked on marriage as an

untroubled Paradise. I consulted a dictionary of quotations on the subject and discovered that

few of the opinions quoted were rose-coloured. These opinions, it may be objected, are the opinions of unconventional people, but it is also true that they are opinions treasured and kept alive by conventional people. We have the reputed saying of the henpecked Socrates, for example, when asked whether it was better to marry or not: “Whichever you do, you will repent.”We have Montaigne writing: “It happens as one sees in cages. The birds outside despair of ever getting in; those inside are equally desirous of getting out.” Bacon is no more prenuptial with his caustic quotation: “He was reputed one of the wise men that made answer to the question when a man should marry: ‘A young man not yet; an elder man not at all.’”

Burton is far from encouraging! “One was never married, and that’s his hell; another is, and that’s his plague.” Pepys scribbled in his diary: “Strange to say what delight we married people have to see these poor folk decoyed into our condition.”

6 The pious Jeremy Taylor was as keenly aware that marriage is not all bliss. “Marriage,” he

declared, “hath in it less of beauty and more of safety than the single life －it hath more care but less danger; it is more merry and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys.” The sentimental and optimistic Steele can do no better than: “The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.”

7 Rousseau denied that a perfect marriage had ever been known. “I have often thought,” he

wrote, “that if only one could prolong the joy of love in marriage we should have paradise on earth. That is a thing which has never been hitherto.”Dr. Johnson is not quoted in the dictionary; but everyone will remember how, devoted husband though he was, he denied that the state of marriage was natural to man. “Sir,” he declared, “it is so far from being natural for

a man and woman to live in a state of marriage that we find all the motives which they have for

remaining in that connexion and the restraints which civilised society imposes to prevent separation are hardly sufficient to keep them together.＂

8 When one reads the things that have been said about marriage from one generation to

another, one cannot but be amazed at the courage with which the young go on marrying.

Almost everybody, conventional and unconventional, seems to have painted the troubles of marriage in the darkest colours. So pessimistic were the conventional novelists of the nineteenth century about marriage that they seldom dared to prolong their stories beyond the wedding bells. Married people in plays and novels are seldom enviable, and, as time goes on, they seem to get more and more miserable. Even conventional people nowadays enjoy the story of a thoroughly unhappy marriage. It is only fair to say, however, that in modern times we like to imagine that nearly everybody, single as well as married, is unhappy. As social reformers we are all for happiness, but as thinkers and aesthetes we are on the side of misery.

9 The truth is that we are a difficulty-conscious generation. Whether or not we make life

even more difficult than it would otherwise be by constantly talking about our difficulties I do not know. I sometimes suspect that half our difficulties are imaginary and that if we kept quiet about them they would disappear. Is it quite certain that the ostrich by burying his head in the sand never escapes his pursuers? I look forward to the day when a great naturalist will discover that it is to this practice that the ostrich owes his survival.

I. Questions

1. Why is it said that the younger generation of conventional people has a rosier conception of marriage than their ancestors? (Paragraph 1)

Answer: Because people of the younger generation are mostly not yet married and they thus have

great expectations of marriage.

2. What attitude did people in the Victorian era have towards marriage? (Paragraph 1)

Answer: Even people in the Victorian era, which was a period renowned for its emphasis on social duties rather than rights, did not have expectations for a difficulty-free marriage.

3. Who are those people the author quoted? Are they considered conventional or unconventional? Why? (Paragraphs 2－7)

Answer: The people quoted are all philosophers, writers, and scientists, whom the author considers as unconventional people, since they were all people with knowledge, talents and wisdom beyond the ordinary. What they thought of marriage could be derived from the essence of human experience.

4. How did the novelists and playwrights describe marriage in their works? (Paragraphs 2－7) Answer: The conventional novelists of the nineteenth century seldom described marriage after the wedding. Even when married people did appear in plays and novels later on, they usually seemed more and more miserable.

5. What attitudes do social reformers and thinkers and aesthetes hold towards marriage? Why? (Paragraphs 8－9)

Answer: Social reformers tend to take an optimistic view towards marriage, while thinkers and aesthetes are on the pessimistic side, thinking of marriage as full of miseries. Social reformers usually encourage people to get married by convincing them of the happiness of marriage, since marriage and family are the cornerstones of a stable society; while thinkers tend to analyze both the positive and negative sides of marriage, and aesthetes strive for the perfection of marriage, so they focus more on its miserable side.

6. Did the author draw a conclusion concerning the truth of marriage? Why or why not? (Paragraphs 8－9)

Answer: No, he didn’t. He explains that whether marriage is difficult or not depends on people’s attitude: if we think it’s difficult, then it is; but if we can ignore the difficulties, then they may well cease to exist.

I. Dictation

To be called beautiful / is thought to name something essential / to women’s character and concerns, / in contrast to men, / whose essence is to be strong, or effective, or competent. / It does not take someone with advanced feminist awareness / to find that the way women are taught to be involved with beauty / reinforces dependence and immaturity. / Everybody, women and men, knows that, / for it is “everybody,” a whole society, / that has identified being feminine with caring about how one looks, / and being masculine with caring about what one is and does / and only secondarily about how one looks. / Given these stereotypes, / it is no wonder that beauty enjoys, at best, a rather mixed reputation.

II. Fill in each blank in the passage below with ONE appropriate word.

Americans haven’t given up on marriage as a cherished ideal. Indeed, most Americans continue to prize and value marriage ___1____ an important life goal, and the vast majority of us will marry at least once in a lifetime. By the mid-thirties, a majority of Americans have married at least once.

Most couples enter marriage with a strong ____2____ and determination for a lifelong, loving partnership. Moreover, this desire may be increasing among the young. Since the 1980s, the percentage of young Americans who say ____3____ having a good marriage is extremely important to them as a life goal has increased slightly.

But when men and women ____4____ today, they are entering a union that looks very different from the one that their parents or grandparents entered.

As a couple’s relationship, marriages are more likely to be broken by divorce ____5____ by death. And although one might expect that greater freedom to leave an unhappy marriage might increase the chances that intact marriages would be very happy, this does not ____6____ to be the case. Marriages are less happy today than in past decades.

As an adult stage in the life course, marriage is shrinking. Americans are living longer, marrying later, exiting marriage more quickly, and choosing to live together before marriage, after marriage, in-between marriages, and as an alternative ____7____ marriage. A small but growing percentage of American adults will never marry. As a ____8____, marriage is surrounded by longer periods of partnered or unpartnered singlehood over the course of a lifetime.

Among young women, social confidence in ____9____ is wavering. Until very recently, young women were highly optimistic about their chances for marital happiness and success. Now, according to youth surveys, their ____10____ in their ability to achieve successful marriage is declining. Moreover, they are notably more accepting of alternatives to marriage, such as unwed parenthood and cohabitation.

Keys:

1. as

2. desire

3.that

4.marry

5.than

6. seem

7. to

8. consequence

9. marriage 10. confidence

(1) Inferred from the sentence structure, this blank should be filled with a preposition, which is

used to describe the fact that sth. has a particular function.

(2) This sentence lacks a noun which shares the similar meaning with determination and can be

modified by strong. As we know, most couples have a fancy dream towards marriage. Thus, here we can infer that they have a strong “desire” for marriage.

(3) Grammatically speaking, this sentence is complete in meaning and only lacks a relative pronoun

to introduce the object clause.

(4) The whole passage talks about marriage. What’s more, the subject of this clause men and

women has already indicated the answer: “marry”.

(5) Indicated by more likely, we come to know that this is a sentence of comparative structure.

Obviously, it lacks the marker of comparative construction, which is “than”.

(6) This sentence lacks a verb, giving the impression of being or doing sth. We may quickly think of

the structure of “seem to be/do sth.”.

(7) In this sentence, alternative refers to a thing that you can choose to do or have out of two or

more possibilities. And this noun cannot be use d separately but should exist with the preposition “to” in this sentence.

(8) The previous sentences talk about some facts existing in the society, while this sentence comes

to the result of such phenomenon. Since “consequence” is the synonym of “result” and meets the requirement of “as a ____” construction, it should serve as the best answer.

(9) What kind of social confidence? It is further explained by the next sentence, especially marital

happiness and success. Thus, this noun should be related to marital aspect.

(10) Judging from the context of social confidence in the previous sentence, they share the same

topic. In the meantime, “confidence” often collocates with the followed preposition in.

V. Oral activities

1.Giving a talk

Topic A: What Factors We Should Consider Before Marriage

Words and phrases for reference:love, health, personality, career, family background, education background, life experience, moral standards, common interests, economic condition, plan for future Topic B: My Idea of What Marriage Should Be Like

Words and phrases for reference: wedding ceremony, shared housework, solid economic foundation, care for each other and parents, a lovely baby, mutual trust and communication, responsibility

2.Having a discussion

Topic: What are the reasons for the phenomenon that more and more people, especially the young, prefer to remain single?

Viewpoints for reference:

a.It is because marriage leads to more economic pressure.

b.It is because the younger generation wants to have more leisure and pleasure for themselves.

c.It is because their interpretation of marriage has been changing.

VI. Writing

Suppose you have to make a choice between marriage and a single life, and you decide to

choose marriage.

Write a short composition with the title “My Ideal Husband” or “My Ideal Wife”. In the first part of your composition, say something about the general trend concerning marriage in China today and the decision you have made. In the second part, explain what kind of man makes an ideal husband or what kind of woman makes an ideal wife. And in the third part, justify your decision by concluding that an ideal husband or an ideal wife will bring happiness to one’s life.

Viewpoints for reference:

My Ideal Husband

One who is caring and honest and treasures his family like no one else.

One who is nice, tender, forgiving, passionate, hard-working, honest, peaceful, generous, understanding, pleasant, warm, intelligent, attentive, and compassionate.

One who has a great sense of humor.

One who will actually listen to a conversation that you have started and make intelligent remarks. One who will also do the housework without having been asked to.

One who would tell you your flaws, but in a loving way, who would help you change and become better.

My Ideal Wife

One who is responsible for the family and takes good care of her hubby and children with a loving heart.

One who is somewhat talented in some field, with a desire to learn new things in life.

One who respects the senior and loves the young.

One who is good at cooking as well.

One who should not be too foolish, or too clever.

Sample:

①In my opinion, an ideal wife must be qualified with these characters. ② First, she must be an intelligent and educated person with good manners. ③ As we know, parents are the first teachers to their child. ④Especially the mother, for mothers get along with the children for most of the time, their behavior affects them gradually. ⑤ Therefore, a well educated mother also can bring up a polite child. ⑥ Second, she should be a generous and lenient person. ⑦ She can tolerate the mistakes made by her husband and child. ⑧ Besides, she should show filial obedience to parents of both sides. ⑨ All the above characters of an ideal wife are quite important for a harmonious family.

WHY I WANT A WIFE1

Judy Brady2

1 I belong to that classification of people known as wives.3I am a Wife. And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.

2 Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene from the Midwest fresh from a recent divorce.4He had one child, who is, of course, with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I, too, would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?

3 I would like to go back to school, so that I can become economically independent, support myself, and, if need be, support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children’s doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children’s clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturant attendant to my children, arranges for their schooling, makes sure that they have adequate social life with their peers5, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care, because, of course, I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wife’s income from time to time, but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say, my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my wife is working.

4 I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my children, a wife who will pick up after me.6 I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals, serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and a change of scene.7

Book one Unit 6 Animal Intelligence Text A The first time: The first period: I. Preview: 1. Let the students be familiar with some important words and phrases in Text A, which will enable them to better understand the text: controversy, encounter, convince, suspicious, blank, relieve, figure out, assess, inaccessible, release, deceive and wipe out. 2. Ask the students to search for some information about animal intelligence through Internet or the Encyclopedia while keeping the question in mind that whether animals do have intelligence and what kind of presentation they may show. 3. Read Text A in general and paragraph 5&6 in Text B. II. Check the homework left last time when the fifth unit was finished. III. Introductory remarks (T s’ words): In unit 5, we’ve talked about romance. Of course, it’s about the romance of us human beings. But, do we believe that animals will also fall in love? In this unit, Text B, we have examples showing that animals do have certain affections to the one of the same kind but the opposite sex. As we’ve read paragraphs 5&6 in Text B, the point has been proved in someway. Well, from the stories, we see that animals really have their own way of thinking. But, what animals really think? Do they have intelligence as we do? IV. Check the preview work through discussion: 1. What’s the meaning of intelligence? And, what about animal intelligence? →Intelligence refers to the power of perceiving, learning, understanding, and knowing. It also means mental ability. As for animal intelligence, it involves such factors as the ability to learn, to solve new problems, or to create novel solut ions to familiar problems and reasoning. The last one means that some animals have the ability to benefit from the experiences of others. That’s what we can find in the third story in Text A, that Towan is clever to do the similar trick as Melati. 2. Ask Ss to tell some interesting stories concerning animals’ presentation of intelligence. Here are also two samples. →Story one: My parents once raised a dog named Doudou. One day, my father left his coat behind in the scallion field. Doudou stayed beside the coat until my father returned to the scallion field and looked for his coat. Then, he went home happily together with my father. Story two: Once in Y unnan Province, a boa saved the son of his master from a river. Ts may list some other animal behaviors to arouse the Ss’ interests: E.g.: Bees communicate a food source to other members of the hive by means of various “dancing”. Some other species can communicate by sight, taste or odor, electrical impulse (fish), or touch, and many animals have more than one system. Conclusion: From all above, we find that animals do display intelligence in some areas. Let’s read the text and find more examples of animal intelligence. V. Global reading tasks.

Unit 2 “Future”, is a puzzling word for all the people in this world, including the scientists and the common. What will the world be like in five hundred year’s time? A thousand years’ time? Or more? Some people are pessimistic, and fear that things can only get wore because people may be slaves of the developed science and technology. Others are optimistic, looking forward to a better world and a happy life with the development of science and technology.
