[00:-1.00]What should a good friend be like?
[00:-2.00]There are 12 adjectives on page 1 describing those we regard as good friend.
[00:-3.00]A good friend should be kind to you.
[00:-4.00]He or she should be honest to you.
[00:-5.00]Then look at the cartoom here.
[00:-6.00]Who do you see in the picture?
[00:-7.00]Do you think AI-Sahhafis an honest man?
[00:-8.00]—AI-Sahhaf-the world-famous spokesman.
[00:-9.00]—No,he's lying.He's saying:"There are no US forces in Baghdad."
[00:10.00]Is he telling the truth?
[00:11.00]—No.The US soldiers are already walking in the streets of Baghdad.
[00:12.00]He himself is already in the hands of the US soldiers.
[00:13.00]How do you know AI-Sahhaf is already in the hands of the US troops?
[00:14.00]—I can see the man's "lying" in the hands of three American soldiers.
[00:15.00]So AI-Sahhaf is"lying"to the world while"lying"in the American soldiers' hands.
[00:16.00]Do you want to make friends with a man like AI-Sahhaf?
[00:17.00]—Well,it all depends.I think he's loyal to his old friend-Saddam Hussein.
[00:18.00]He remained loyal to Saddam Hussei's government to the last minute.
[00:19.00]But is he wise?
[00:20.00]—Certainly.His speech on TV is full of wisdom and humor.
[00:21.00]Even his enemy-President George W.Bush likes him very much.
[00:22.00]But does AI-Sahhaf look handsome in his cartoon?
[00:23.00]—Certainly not.He looks funny.
[00:24.00]It's a caricature-an amusing and exaggerating imitation of his photo on TV,
[00:25.00]on which AI-Sahhaf in his military uniform looks not only handsome but also smart.
[00:26.00]—but "smart" also means "clever and wise."
[00:27.00]So AI-Sahhaf has got so many qualities as a good friend?
[00:28.00]-Well,it all depends.In a way,yes.
[00:29.00]Let's sum up in a few words.
[00:30.00]To be a good friends one has to be kind,
[00:31.00]honest,brave,loyal,happy,wise strong,beautiful,handsome,rich,smart and funny.
[00:32.00]Do you agree to all the 12 qualities?
[00:33.00]I think the most imortant qualities are honesty,
[00:34.00]bravery,loyalty,wisdom or smartness.
[00:35.00]I couldn't agree more.But what about a beautiful girl or strong young man?
[00:36.00]Do you want to make friends with them?
[00:37.00]Do you enjoy a beauty's company?
[00:38.00]Do you want a strong young man's protection if you are a girl?
[00:39.00]—As the saying goes,beauty is only skin deep.
[00:40.00]Beauty is outside appearance but not inside quality.
[00:41.00]So is strength.A man may be strong in body but weak in mind.
[00:42.00]Then what do you say to funniness,richness or wealth,bravery and kindness?
[00:43.00]—Well,we'd better discuss them later in the other units.
[00:44.00]Listen to the two friends arguing
[00:45.00]Situation 1 Problem:peter is often（ ） Solution:I think Peter should（ ）
[00:46.00]Situation 2 Problem:Ann usually（ ） Solution:I think Ann should（ ）
[00:47.00]Situation 3 Problem:（ ） solution:（ ）
[00:48.00]Situation 1
[00:49.00]Problem:Peter is often late for football practice.
[00:50.00]Solution:I think Peter should try to be on time in the future.
[00:51.00]Situation 2
[00:52.00]Ann usually borrows things without asking and she doesn't return things on time.
[00:53.00]Solution:I think Ann should ask the owner if she wants to borrow something
[00:54.00]and try to return it on time in the future.
[00:55.00]Situation 3
[00:56.00]Problem:Adam borrowed John's CD player yesterday and now it is broken.
[00:57.00]Solution:Adam can ask his uncle to fix it.
[00:58.00]1.What do you think about Peter?Do you want to make friends with him?Why or why not?
[00:59.00]2.What do you think about the friendship between Mary and Ann?
[-1:00.00]Will it last long?Why or why not?
[-1:-1.00]3.Retell the third dialogue in your own words.
[-1:-2.00]1.I don't think much of Peter.
[-1:-3.00]As a team member,he must be on time for all the practice.
[-1:-4.00]He's got to be a few minutes earlier before the fixed
[-1:-5.00]time to give a hand to the preparation and things like that
[-1:-6.00]Otherwise he'd better be replaced by someone loyal to the team.
[-1:-7.00]2.I'm afraid it won't last long.
[-1:-8.00]On the one hand Ann is good at borrowing things but bad at returning things.
[-1:-9.00]On the otherhand Mary is not so kind to her friend
[-1:10.00]and far from being a forgiving friend.
[-1:11.00]So besides kindness,forgiveness is also a necessary quality as a good friend.
[-1:12.00]3.Adam had berrowed a CD player from Peter,
[-1:13.00]but it suddenly stopped while he was listening to some music.
[-1:14.00]And he believed that it wasn't his fault.
[-1:15.00]But Peter suspected that he must have done something to the player.
[-1:16.00]Finally,adam promised to have it fixed by his uncle,who he believed was an able man.
[-1:17.00]JOHN:I'm 15 years old and I love football.
[-1:18.00]I also like reading,especially stones about people from other countries.
[-1:19.00]I don't enjoy singing,nor do I like computers.
[-1:20.00]I think that rock music is terrible.
[-1:21.00]ANN:Hi,I'm Ann.I'm 16 and I like dancing and computers.I also like rock music.
[-1:22.00]I hate hiking and I'm not into classical music.
[-1:23.00]I don't enjoy reading too much.
[-1:24.00]STEVE:I'm 14 years old and I love skiing.
[-1:25.00]Other favourite hobbies are reading and singing.
[-1:26.00]I don't like hiking.
[-1:27.00]I think that rock music is too loud,and I think that football is boring.
[-1:28.00]PETER:I'm from Australia.I'm 15 and I'm fond of singing.
[-1:29.00]I sing a lot,and when I'm not singing,I listen to rock music or use my computer.
[-1:30.00]I don't like football and I think that classical music is terrible.
[-1:31.00]I hate dancing!
[-1:32.00]SARAH:My name is Sarah and I'm 14 years old.
[-1:33.00]My interests are reading novels,playing football and singing songs.
[-1:34.00]I think that rock music is terrible,and I don't like dancing.
[-1:35.00]I don't enjoy computers either.
[-1:36.00]JOE:Hi there.I'm Joe.I really like computers.
[-1:37.00]I surf the Internet all the time and I like playing computer games.
[-1:38.00]I don't enjoy football and I hate hiking.
[-1:39.00]Rock music is OK,and so is skiing.
[-1:40.00]And then try to talk about all the likes and dislikes given by teenagers.
[-1:41.00]Different students have different likes and dislikes
[-1:42.00]such as singing,dancing,rock music,classic and dancin,too.
[-1:43.00]A few of them hate dancing,probably because they are too fat to move about.
[-1:44.00]A student fond of dancing is very often good at singing;
[-1:45.00]otherwise he or she must have a very bad voice
[-1:46.00]and most probably cannot be a promising dancer.
[-1:47.00]Noisy children are fond of rock music while quiet ones love
[-1:48.00]classic music though some classic music is noisy too.
[-1:49.00]Most boys are football fans,but they are not necessarily good footballers.
[-1:50.00]Those who like hiking are probably living near mountains and rivers or are fond of fresh air and quictness.
[-1:51.00]Many children good at skiing were born and/or brought up in cold areas.
[-1:52.00]Hard-working students are fond of reading something serious while those rich in imaginations are great readers of poems,novels and stories.
[-1:53.00]Some students use compuers for work,others for games and still others for Internet surfing.
[-1:54.00]Among Internet surfers,many are interested in exciting news and stories while quite a few are busy searching for what they are badly in need of in their life and work |
