株潭中学英语科备课表（教案）

品味人生

1、不管鸟的翅膀多么完美，如果不凭借空气，鸟就永远飞不到高空。想象力是翅膀，客观实际是空气，只有两方面紧密结合，才能取得显着成绩。

2、想停下来深情地沉湎一番，怎奈行驶的船却没有铁锚;想回过头去重温旧梦，怎奈身后早已没有了归途。因为时间的钟摆一刻也不曾停顿过，所以生命便赋予我们将在汹涌的大潮之中不停地颠簸。

3、真正痛苦的人，却在笑脸的背后，流着别人无法知道的眼泪，生活中我们笑得比谁都开心，可是当所有的人潮散去的时候，我们比谁都落寂。

4、温暖是飘飘洒洒的春雨;温暖是写在脸上的笑影;温暖是义无反顾的响应;温暖是一丝不苟的配合。

5、幸福，是一种人生的感悟，一种个人的体验。也许，幸福是你风尘仆仆走进家门时亲切的笑脸;也许，幸福是你卧病床上百无聊赖时温馨的问候;也许，幸福是你屡遭挫折心灰意冷时劝慰的话语;也许，幸福是你历经艰辛获得成功时赞赏的掌声。关键的是，你要有一副热爱生活的心肠，要有一个积极奋进的目标，要有一种矢志不渝的追求。这样，你才能感受到幸福。

6、母爱是迷惘时苦口婆心的规劝;母爱是远行时一声殷切的叮咛;母爱是孤苦无助时慈祥的微笑。

7、淡淡素笺，浓浓墨韵，典雅的文字，浸染尘世情怀;悠悠岁月，袅袅茶香，别致的杯盏，盛满诗样芳华;云淡风轻，捧茗品文，灵动的音符，吟唱温馨暖语;春花秋月，红尘阡陌，放飞的思绪，漫过四季如歌。读一段美文，品一盏香茗，听一曲琴音，拾一抹心情。

8、尘缘飞花，人去楼空，梦里花落为谁痛?顾眸流盼，几许痴缠。把自己揉入了轮回里，忆起，在曾相逢的梦里;别离，在泪眼迷朦的花落间;心碎，在指尖的苍白中;淡落，在亘古的残梦中。在夜莺凄凉的叹息里，让片片细腻的柔情，哽咽失语在暗夜的诗句里。

9、用不朽的“人”字支撑起来的美好风景，既有“虽体解吾犹未变兮”的执着吟哦，也有“我辈岂是蓬蒿人”的跌宕胸怀;既有“我以我血荐轩辕”的崇高追求，也有“敢教日月换新天”的豪放气魄。33 我是一只蜜蜂，在祖国的花园里，飞来飞去，不知疲倦地为祖国酿制甘甜的蜂蜜;我是一只紫燕，在祖国的蓝天上，穿越千家万户，向祖国向人民报告春的信息;我是

一滴雨点，在祖国的原野上，从天而降，滋润干渴的禾苗;我是一株青松，在祖国的边疆，傲然屹立，显示出庄严的身姿。

10、母爱是一滴甘露，亲吻干涸的泥土，它用细雨的温情，用钻石的坚毅，期待着闪着碎光的泥土的肥沃;母爱不是人生中的一个凝固点，而是一条流动的河，这条河造就了我们生命中美丽的情感之景。

11、青春是盛开的鲜花，用它艳丽的花瓣铺就人生的道路;青春是美妙的乐章，用它跳跃的音符谱写人生的旋律;青春是翱翔的雄鹰，用它矫健的翅膀搏击广阔的天宇;青春是奔腾的河流，用它倒海的气势冲垮陈旧的桎梏。

12、失败，是把有价值的东西毁灭给人看;成功，是把有价值的东西包装给人看。成功的秘诀是不怕失败和不忘失败。成功者都是从失败的炼狱中走出来的。成功与失败循环往复，构成精彩的人生。成功与失败的裁决，不是在起点，而是在终点。

13、母爱是一缕阳光，让你的心灵即便在寒冷的冬天也能感受到温暖如春;母爱是一泓清泉，让你的情感即使蒙上岁月的风尘仍然清澈澄净。

14、不要吝惜自己的爱，敞开自己的胸怀，多多给予，你会发现，你也已经沐浴在了爱河里。

15、奉献是爱心，勇于付出，你一定会收到意外之外的馈赠。

16、人生就像一条河，经历丰富，才能远源流长。伟大的一生，像黄河一样跌宕起伏，像长江一样神奇壮美。人生就像一座山，经历奇特才能蔚为大观。伟大的一生，像黄山一样奇峰迭起，像泰山一样大气磅礴。经历就是人生的硎石，生命的锋芒在磨砺中闪光;经历就是人生的矿石，生命的活力在提炼中释放。经历就是体验，经历就是积淀。没有体验就没有生存的质量;没有积淀，就没有生存的智慧。人生的真谛在经历中探寻，人生的价值在经历中实现。

17、生命不是一张永远旋转的唱片;青春也不是一张永远不老的容颜。爱情是一个永恒的故事，从冬说到夏，又从绿说到黄;步履是一个载着命运的轻舟，由南驶向北，又由近驶向远。

18、过去与未来，都离自己很遥远，关键是抓住现在，抓住当前。

19、采一点晨曦，装点一天的清新，捧一把阳光，温暖一季的心情。雨中潇洒走一回，去释放心底的罗曼蒂克。一段白云下的遐想，找回的是心灵空间的宽广和飞翔。听一曲欢快流畅音乐，脸上没有了忧郁的浮云，心中燃烧着一团艳阳。把笑意写在脸上，人生四季的良辰美景，即如小桥流水，也如风清月明!

20、生命本是一场漂泊的漫旅，遇见了谁都是一个美丽的意外。我珍惜着每一个可以让我称做朋友的人，因为那是可以让漂泊的心驻足的地方。有时候会被一句话感动，因为真诚;有时候会为一首歌流泪，因为自然。要快乐，不止此时，而是一生!

必修1 第一单元ANNE’S BEST FRIEND Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I came here. …For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at

选修8 Unit 1 A land of diversity-Reading CALIFORNIA California is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California. NATIVE AMERCANS Exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, t he native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases b rought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state. THE SPANISH In the 18th century California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century, when they fought against the native people and took their land. Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States. Of the first Spanish to go to California, the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives. In 1821, the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico, and after the war won by the USA, Mexico had to give California to the USA. However, there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state. That is why today over 40 of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language. RUSSIANS In the early 1800s, Russian hunters, who had originally gone to Alaska, began settling in California. Today there are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco. GOLD MINERS In 1848, not long after the American-Mexican war, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world. The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States. Then adventurers from Europe and Asia soon followed. In fact, few achieved their dream of becoming rich. Some died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship. They settled in the new towns or on farms. By the time California elected to become the thirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850, it was already a multicultural society.
