Oscars going strong (P1)
成都外国语学校 王维荣

I. Lead-in: Prediction

What do you think the article talks about, based on its title “Oscars are going strong”?

II. While-reading: Checking your prediction
Please read the article quickly and check your predictions. Were your predictions correct?
The article mainly explains the reasons why the Oscars are still going strong.

III. While-reading: Making a deduction
Which word tells you that the writer has given at least two reasons?
The word “Another” in Paragraph 7.

IV. While-reading: reading for reasons
Read the article and find the reasons that are mentioned for the Oscars still going strong.

Key:
1. The awards demonstrate the particular taste of a group of people at a specific point in time rather than represent any absolute standard of excellence or quality.
2. The Oscars continue to mean something.
3. Easy access to nominated material has turned the Oscars into a more accurate reflection of where we are today.
4. Another reason lies in the controversy over how the academy is made up and the organization’s attempt to change the situation.

V. While-reading: reading for details
1. What’s a positive outcome of having a more diverse representation?
Those films that used to be thought impossible to win any nomination or any prize are given a chance to stand out.

2. What has given the Oscars as much relevance in recent years as they have ever had?
Having top contenders that are plugged into the zeitgeist.

VI. While-reading: develop vocabulary
Please write out the word according to the requirement.
 

 

VII. Post reading: discussion
Further thinking:
In your eyes, what else could be done to make the Oscars more popular?


Time for girls to shine (P4)
辽宁省沈阳二中 李珊珊
I. Lead-in  
1.We all used to read fairy tales when we were little. Can you share the story of one of your favorites?
2. Do you like fairy tales? Why?
II. Reading Comprehension
1. What’s wrong with most children ' s stories, according to the two Italian writers ?
In children's books, the men are still the protagonists and the women are still the princesses. While 80 percent of male characters have a job, only 18 percent of female characters do.
2. What action did they take?
They wrote a book together featuring only female protagonists - Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.
3. What do the characters in their books have in common?
They are all women with a job or professional ambition, which gives young girls role models of their own sex to look up to.
4. Why did they choose the name Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls?
Being rebellious is exactly the quality that Favilli and Cavallo think many of today's girls lack and need to develop. It is important to cultivate - especially if you are a woman or a girl - a rebel attitude, because you have to fight harder to reach your aim and to get what you want.

III. Vocabulary Bank
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls is an “anti-princess” book, as Bustle put it, which gives young girls role models of their own sex to look up to.
1. anti-作为前缀,译为“与...相反的,逆...的,反抗...的”, 如:anti-war 反战的, anti-cancer 抗癌的,anti-social 反社会的,对社会有害的。
2. As引导非限制性定语从句,put是“认为,表达”的意思。
3. look up to “敬仰、尊敬”;反义词组为look down upon “看不起,轻视”。
