车。福特说这句话，一是表示谦虚，一是为了标榜自己是大众喜欢的总统。Structuralanalysis:Part1(Para1-2)IntroductionPart2(Para3-4)Hiswife’sintuitionandgoodjudgmentsPart3(Para5-7)RomanceandmarriagePart4(Para8)Backtohisrecoveryfromthecrash.Part5(Para9-13)Howhiswifehandledhercrisisandhelpedrebuildhisconfidence.Part6(Para14)ConclusionFirstpartHelicopter：atypeofaircraftwithlargemetalbladesontopwhichturnaroundveryquicklytomakeitflyLanguagepointsCollide:(1)Tohiteachotheraccidentally；tohitsomethingorsomeonethatismovinginadifferentdirectionfromyouE.g.Thetwoplanescollidedwitheachotherinmidair.(2)todisagreestronglywithapersonorgroup,especiallyonaparticularsubjectcollidewith/collisionn.Istanbul,whereeastandwestcollidecollisionsurvive:(1)tonotdieinanaccidentorwarorfromanillnesssurvivesth.survivorn.Thereareconcernsthattherefugeescannotsurvivethewinter.---Howareyou?---Oh,surviving.(2)tolivelongerthansomeoneelse,usuallysomeonecloselyrelatedtoyouAir-crashwreckagegurneyL.A.---LosAngelesC.A.---CaliforniaA.L.---Alabama　　P.A.---PennsylvaniaA.K---Alaska　M.A.---MassachusettsO.H.---Ohio(俄亥俄州）　　　　　O.K.---Oklahoma（俄克拉荷马州）M.D.---Maryland（马里兰州）O.R.---Oregon（俄勒冈州）N.D.---NorthDakota（北达科他州）M.E.---Maine（缅因州）　SecondpartIntuition:theabilitytounderstandorknowsomethingbecauseofafeelingratherthanbyconsideringthefacts[=instinct]直觉Theoldhunterknewbyintuitionthatthedeerwasnearby.woman’s/feminineintuition辨析:instinct&intuitionInstinct:aninbornpatternofbehaviorthatischaracteristicofaspeciesandisoftenaresponsetospecificenvironmentalstimuli:本能一种天生的行为方式，其因物种不同而各异，通常是对某一具体环境刺激的反应aggressiveinstinct攻击性本能motherinstinctsexualinstinctsurvivor’sguilt:IfeelguiltyasasurvivorAnnhas…intuition:Annhasconcisesenseandshecanalwaysjudgecorrectly.WhenIbecamedepressedandsuicidal:suicidal:a.relatingtosuicidesuicide:n.killingoneselfThefamousactorcommitsuicidelastnight.Depressed1)sadorgloomyE.g.Ineedsomethingtooccupymymind.IgetdepressedifIhavenothingtodo.2)depressionn.E.g.Perfectlystablepeopleareoftenplungedintodepressionbydivorce,unemployment,orfailureintheirwork.theGreatDepression大萧条时期(1929-1933)synonymunhappysadbecauseofthesituationyouareinmiserableverysaddepressedsadforalongtime,andfeelingthatyourlifewillnevergetbettergloomy/glumlookingsaddown/downinthedumpssadandwithoutmuchinterestinlife-usuallynotinaseriousorpermanentwaybroken-heartedverysadbecausesomeonehasendedaromanticrelationshipwithyouhomesicksadbecauseyouarealongwayfromyourhomeandyourfriendsdepressedDetailedreading4–ActivityActivity:DiscussionNowadays,peopleareundermoreandmorepressure.Employees’suicideinFoxconnTechnologyGrouptakingdeathtolltomorethan10isanexample.Canyoubrieflynarratethiseventandthenspeakoutyourviewsonthisissue?Trytousethefollowingwordsandphrasesinyourdiscussion.DetailedreadingsuicidaldepressedinbadmoodoccupationalconfusionlowsalaryjumpingoffabuildinginstantlytheinterestsbetweenthecompanyandtheemployeescollidingPart3Questions:Whydidtheauthorfeelmiffed(slightlyangry)inhisinterviewwithAnn?Whydidtheauthorhavethethought“tohellwithher”?WhatdoyouknowaboutLasVegas?LasVegasisacityinsoutheastNevada，USA，famousforitsnumerouscasinoandspeedyregistrationofmarriage.除了素有“世界赌城”和色情天堂的雅号外，拉斯维加斯还是一个“自杀之都”以及结婚和离婚的天堂！Introductiontothecity1Introductiontothecity2Douglasinlovestar:toappearasamainperformerinafilmThefilminwhichshestarsisagreathit.showup:appearHedidn’tshowupuntilthelastmoment.miff:tocausetobecomeoffendedorannoyed.bemiffedwith[at]生...的气get[have,take]amiff生气,发脾气inamiff生着气Eventuallylastly,finally,intheend,atlast1.Usefinallyoreventuallytosaythatsthhappensafteralongtime2.Useeventuallyorintheendtosaywhattheresultoroutcomeofsomethingwas3.Useatlasttosaythatsomethinghappensafteralongperiodofwaitingortrying,whenyouaregladaboutthis4.Uselastlyorfinallytointroducethelastpointyouwanttomake,thelastactioninaseriesofactions,orthelastiteminalistButthattookmesomedoing…takesomedoing:tobehardworkonsb.’spart/onthepartofsb:someonehasdonesth.orfeelsth.就某人而言tohellwithsomebody/somethingusedtosaythatyoudonotcareaboutsomeoneorsomethinganymore:Hell-hole：averydirty,ugly,andunpleasantplacePoignant令精神或感情极为痛苦的;尖锐尖刻的1)keenorstronginmentalappealE.g.Itwasapoignantmoment.Theyheldhandsandlookedintoeachother’seyesforthelasttime.2)Poignantlyadv.E.g.Hisremarkablelifeandtragicdeathpoignantlyexpressthehopesanddisappointmentsofawholegeneration.PoignantWeslippedawaytoLasVegastotietheknot.(slang.Getmarried)WewenttoLasVegassecretlytogetmarried.SimpleknotsforlifetimeHeslippedthemoneyintohispocket.slipofthepen笔误slipofthetongue口误Part4(pa8)After2flashbacks,theauthorturnsbacktohisrecoveryfromthecrashwithhiswife’smeticulouscare.Whatissurvivor’sanguish?Itisakindofdepressioninwhichthesurvivorsuffersanaftermathfearofadisasteranduncertaintyaboutwhatwouldhappenthim/herinthefuture.languagepointsGiventhatI’msometimesasanactorwrappedupinhisego.giventhat:considering…bewrappedupin:bepackedin;bedeeplyinterestedin,betotallyabsorbedin,togivesomuchofyourattentiontosth.thatyoudonothavetimeforanythingelseHedoesn’thavemuchtimeforasociallife,becausehe’stoowrappedupinhiswork.egoego:1)anexaggeratedsenseofself-import
