Women sell online (P2)
I. Pre-reading
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
 Do you think women enjoy equal rights with men nowadays?
 What advantages and disadvantages do women have over men in the workplace?

II. Reading
Read the article and answer the following questions.
1. What does Jack Ma think is the secret to the success of Alibaba?
He thinks the participation of women in the company is the “secret sauce” of the company.

2. Why does Jack Ma think the participation of women is important in business?
Because he thinks the participation of women makes business more leisurely, humanized, and charming.

3. What role are women playing in the Internet industry?
They aren’t just employees in the Internet industry. Increasingly, they’re reaching top-level positions, shaping IT culture from the ground up. About 55 percent of Internet businesses have been founded by women.

4. What advantages do women have over men in the Internet industry according to Jack Ma?
While shopping online, customers expect not just products and services, but also contact with others and memories. “Women are born with intuition,” Ma said. “This new form of economy allows them to bring their nature into play.”

5. What challenges do women face when they want more than just a small online store, according to Louisa Mitchell?
They face certain challenges: questions of ambition, staff and management problems, and access to capital.

6. What advice does Esther Ma give to women?
She advises women to make better use of technology to build their businesses – and their own names. She thinks women have to learn how to promote themselves, put themselves out there and do networking.

III. Language study
Study the following sentences:
1. Increasingly, they’re reaching top-level positions, shaping IT culture from the ground up.
本句中动词-ing短语shaping …用作伴随状语,from the ground up意为“从头开始,完全地(from the very beginning; completely)”。例如:We’ve had to learn a new system from the ground up.

2. The Internet is also an “experience-based” economy where women have an advantage over men.
本句中where引导定语从句,修饰先行词an “experience-based” economy。短语have/enjoy an advantage over sb表示“胜过某人,优于某人”。例如:He has/enjoys an unfair advantage over us because of his wealth.

3. “This new form of economy gives them a chance to bring their nature into play.”
短语bring sth in play表示“使发挥作用,调动(积极性)”。例如:I changed my job because I want to bring my English skills into play. 我换工作是因为我想充分发挥我的英语技能。

IV. Further thinking
Discuss the following question with your partner.
As a female, what is the best way to stand out in a male-dominated profession?

Stereotypes sometimes hurtful (P4-5)
I. Pre-reading
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
Believe it or not, there are stereotypes about every nationality, and every nationality has its own stereotypes of other nationalities. What are your stereotypes about Germany, Britain, Italy, Argentina, or other foreign countries?
Do you think stereotypes are bad or not? Why or why not?

II. Reading
Read the article and choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
1. It’s easy for people to associate Canada with ____ according to the article.
A. lederhosen and sausages    B. artists and gondolas  
C. tango dancing     D. lumberjacks
2. With the example of Irish stereotypes, the author intends to show ____.
A. how silly some stereotypes are
B. that stereotypes are usually negative
C. how stereotypes affect our attitudes toward other people
D. that stereotypes are usually linked with a certain culture
3. The stereotypes about French people date back to ____.
A. medieval times       B. the 17th century
C. the 19th century    D. the period of World War I
4. What are the stereotypes of France and Britain according to the article?
A. French people have a drinking problem.
B. French people don’t have much courage.
C. British people lack a sense of humor.
D. British and French people don’t get on well with each other.
5. What is the author’s attitude toward stereotypes according to the article?
A. It is difficult to decide which stereotypes are true.
B. We shouldn’t completely believe stereotypes.
C. Stereotypes usually have deep roots and can be relied on.
D. Stereotypes are so bad that they prevent us from understanding the world.

Key:
1. D。由第四段的“And it’s hard to imagine Argentina without tango dancing, or Canada without lumberjacks (伐木工).”可知答案为D。
2. C。文中以爱尔兰的刻板印象为例主要是想说明前面提到的“But problems come when those stereotypes lower your expectations and affect the way you treat other people.”故答案为C。
3. A。由倒数第三段的“That myth (错误的看法), in part, comes from centuries-old competition between France and Britain. The two countries had been warring since medieval (中世纪的) times.”可知答案为A。
4. B。由倒数第二至四段可知,人们对于法国人的通常印象是他们比较浪漫,但是有点阴柔,不够勇敢,故B为正确答案。
5. B。结合文中作者描述的“t’s not that stereotypes are all bad – they often show what’s unique about a certain culture.”“Stereotypes may be a part of how we all think, but it’s important not to let them stop us from understanding the complicated world around us. ”可推知B为正确答案。A文中没有提到,C后部分“can be relied on”不对;D项对刻板印象全盘否定,显然与作者观点不符。

III. Language study
Translate the following sentences with the given words or phrases.
1. 很难解释清楚什么原因使他如此走红。(define)
It is difficult to define what makes him so popular.

2. 不要好高骛远,相反,降低你的期望值,树立一些小点的目标。(expectation)
Don’t aim too high; instead, lower your expectations and set smaller goals.

3. 与其说他是个老师,不如说他更像是个好朋友。(more … than)
He is more of a friend than a teacher.

4. 现在我们可以继续开展我们的工作了。(carry on)
Now we can carry on with our work.

Letter from home (P6)
I. Pre-reading
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
 How often do you write or call home?
 What news do you like to share with your parents when you talk to them?
 Have you ever received any letters from your parents?
 If so, how did you feel when you read their letters?

II. Reading
Read the article and choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
1. The author entered his work password into the microwave because ____. 
A. all kinds of passwords made him confused
B. he was thinking too much about his work
C. he was affected by his daughter’s long absence
D. he was getting old and he had forgotten how to use the microwave
2. The author describes his and his wife’s current situation by ____. 
A. comparing the past and present
B. talking about history and his dream
C. listing changes they have made to their routines

3. With the last six paragraphs, the author is trying to ____.
A. describe what kind of person his daughter is
B. show how much he and his wife care about their daughter
C. show how annoyed his daughter must feel about her mother
D. remind his daughter of the problems they had
4. From the article, we can conclude that the author is ____. 
A. humorous      B. inspiring 
C. serious      D. patient  

Key:
1. C。根据第四段第一二句“Look, obviously your long absence has confused us. As we go about our daily routines, your mother and I are distracted - both by your absence and our pride in your career.”可知C正确。
2. D。作者讲述了因为女儿很长时间不来看他们,他们焦虑、分神,结果做出了各种怪事情。所以D正确。
3. B。最后六段作者通过回忆女儿的特点,以及妻子对她的日日等待,并通过以前女儿小时候就对她有多么在意,传达自己和妻子的思念之情。所以B正确。
4. A。作者多处采用了夸张手法,诙谐幽默,所以A正确。

III. Language study
Read the article again and appreciate how the author expresses his mixed feelings about missing his daughter.
Did you fall off the edge of the Earth?
Well, I am more than curious. I feel abandoned.
Apparently you’ve dumped (抛弃) us for your career.

想念自己的家人或者朋友该怎么表达思念焦虑之情呢?且看作者怎么做的:比如,长时间未见女儿,作者问道,“你是否从地球边缘掉下去了?”又如,文章中间提到自女儿离开之后,发生了很多事情,其中包含“林肯总统遇刺了”—你离开的时间简直像历史一样久远。再如:女儿一年级的时候,她每天回家的时候母亲都会这样迎接她:like you’d just returned from a month-long journey to the moon. 让这些句子教会我们用夸张的手法带来诙谐幽默吧。

Study the following sentences:
1. And I was so off my game (状态差) that I actually used that cholesterol-free mayo (不含胆固醇的蛋黄酱) your mother insists on buying in an effort to drive me from the house.
释义:我状态很差以致于你妈妈为了赶我出家门非要让我去买那种不含胆固醇的蛋黄酱,而我竟然还吃了这种酱。
分析:本句用了so … that …句型。That从句中your mother insists on …是定语从句说明了逼着爸爸去买蛋黄酱的原因(in an effort to表达了目的)。

2. But should the urge ever hit you, feel free to stop by some time.
释义:但是如果你突然想家,你一定要顺道回家看看。
分析:should…放在句首为倒装句,相当于If … should …。例如:Should you need any help (=if you need any help), you can always phone me at the office. 词组feel free to …意思是“请随意,不必拘谨”,例如:If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask me.
