NelsonMandela------AModernHeroJayChowYaoming林浩（救灾小英雄）男，9岁半汶川县映秀镇渔子溪小学学生在汶川大地震发生的那一刻，9岁的林浩临危不惧，他爬出废墟后并没有逃离，而是再次钻到废墟里开始救助自己的同学。他艰难地把两名同学背出了废墟，自己也受了伤。他的班上共有10人被救，其中两个是他救的。被问到为什么要这么做时，林浩说：“我是班长。如果其他同学都没有了，要你这个班长有什么用呢？”6月27日，林浩被授予“抗震救灾英雄少年”的称号。8月8日北京奥运会开幕式上，中国代表团旗手姚明的身旁走着另外一位小“旗手”——来自四川地震灾区汶川县映秀小学的学生林浩，他的头上，还有地震带来的伤痕。人物背景都江堰光亚学校的教师范美忠在地震发生那一刻，弃学生于不顾第一个跑出教室，所幸学生安然无事。之后，他“洋洋自得”地在天涯论坛上发表了一篇《那一刻地动山摇》的帖子，而且在文章最后表白：“在这种生死抉择的瞬间，只有为了我的女儿我才可能考虑牺牲自我，其他的人，哪怕是我的母亲，在这种情况下我也不会管的。”此文一出，引来一片哗然，大部分网友骂毕业于北京大学历史系的他是地震中“最无耻教师”，应该除名，并讥讽他为“范跑跑”。少部分网友则认为这是他的自由，不应该开除。学校校长卿光亚承受着外界巨大压力，在是否开除“范跑跑”的问题上，仍没有做出最终决定，只是让他停课在家。•Doyoualwaysdoyourownhomework?•Doyouaskforhelpwhenyouthinkitnecessary?•Doyouhelpotherswiththeirworkiftheyaskyou?•Doyougetonwellwithyourclassmates?•Areyouwillingtodopublicserviceworkwithoutpay?Whatkindofpersonareyou?•Yourfriendneedsbusfarehomebutyouwanttobuysomethingtoeat?Wouldyourefusetohelp?•Areyouactiveinschoolactivities?•Doyouhavehobbies?•Doyoueasilyloseheartwhenyouareintrouble?•Doyouoftenhelpoldpeopleorlittlechildrenwhentheyneedhelp?Isheagreatperson?Inmyopinion…Whocanbecalledagreatperson?Ithink…Tomyunderstanding…Agreatpersonissomeonewhoisdevotedtohelpingothers.Ifeelthat…DiscussionWhatqualitiesdoyouthinkagreatpersonshouldhave?qualitiesofthegreatpeopledeterminedbraveconfidentwarm-heartedresponsibleselflesshonestbroad-and-openmindedgenerouskindeasy-goinghard-workingdevotedhelpfulindependentHowcanwetellifanimportantpersonisagreatperson?Mostofthegreatpeoplearealsoimportantpeople.Butimportantpeoplemaynotalsobegreatpeople.Nowlookattheinformationaboutsixmen.Andfindoutwhoisnotagreatperson?Giveyoureasonforyourdecision.Dividethewholeclassintoseveralgroupsanddiscussit.WilliamTyndale(1484-1536)Priestandscholar;translatedtheBibleintoModernEnglish.WilliamTyndalebelievesthattheBibleshouldbeabletobereadbyeveryone.Sohemadeithislife’sworktotranslatetheBiblefromancientGreekandHebrewintoeasilyreadableEnglishforthepeopleofhistime.Buthewascaughtandputintoprisonanddiedforthisideasandbeliefs.Afterhisdeath,theBiblewaspublishedinEnglishand80%ofitwastheworkofWilliamTyndale.NormanBethuneACanadian;foughtagainsttheGermanNazisandJapaneseinvadersduringWorldWarII;workedasadoctorandsavedmanyChinesesoldiers.NormanBethunewasaCanadian,aCommunist,andalsoadoctor.HesupportedtheChineseandwenttohelptheirarmyasadoctorandtotrainotherdoctors.Heinventedmobilefieldhospitalunits.Unfortunately,hegotbloodpoisoningwhileworkinginChinaanddiedthere.SunYat-senHefoundedthefirstRepublicinChinain1911aftermanyyears’fighting;hestronglybelievedinthethreeprinciples:nationalism;people’srights;people’slivelihoodSunYat-sen(November12,1866-March12,1925)wasaChineserevolutionaryleaderandstatesman,thefounderoftheKuomintangandthefirstprovisionalpresidentoftheRepublicofChina.Inthe1930shewasposthumouslygiventhetitle“FatheroftheNation”(国父Guófù),whichiscurrentlyusedinTaiwan.Inthemainland,heiscommonlyreferredtoasthe“forthgoer”(革命的先行者)andismentionedbynameinthepreambletotheConstitutionofthePeople’sRepublicofChina.MahatmaGandhiHegaveuparichlifeforhisideasandfoughtforhiscountrytobefreefromtheUKinapeacefulway.MohandasGandhiwaseducatedintheUnitedKingdomandreceivedalawdegreefromUniversityCollegeinLondon.AfterhewasadmittedtotheBritishbar,hepracticedlawinBombay(nowMumbai),India,andlaterinDurban,SouthAfrica.WhileinSouthAfrica,hewastreatedasamemberofaninferiorrace,whichspurredhimintohislifelongquesttoachievecivilrightsforallraces.NelsonMandelaHefoughtfortheblackpeopleandwasinprisonforthirtyyears.Hehelpedtheblackpeopletogetthesamerightsaswhitepeople.NelsonMandelawaselectedthefirstblackPresidentinSouthAfricain1994.Forthefirsttimeever,SouthAfrican’sallracesarecitizens.ThevotecameonApril26,1994.ThevictorycelebrationwasthesweetoneforNelsonMandela.Justday’slater,theAfricansgovernmentofF.W.deKlerkhandedtheringsovertovictoriousAfricanNationalCongress.NeilArmstrongAmericanpilot,astronaut;thefirstpersontowalkonthemoon“That’sonesmallstepforaman,onegiantleapformankind.”NeilArmstrongwasthefirstmanevertowalkonthemoon.HewasapilotintheAmericanAirForcesandlaterjoinedtheastronautprogram.Hewaschosentobethefirstmantowalkonthemoon.Greatperson:Importantperson:Playsanimportantroleinsomefield,organizationorgreatevents.Hasagreatidea;alwayshelpsothers;unselfishly;givesupsomethingtoachievehis/hergoal,etc.NeilArmstrongisanimportantpersonandtheothersaregreatperson.I.根据下列各句句意以及所给单词的首字母或汉语提示，写出所缺单词的正确形式。1.Muchofthelandwasofpoorq______.2.She’sover80,butisstillverya______.3.ThePeople’sR______ofChinawasfoundedin1949.4.Schoolstrytoteachchildrenasetofp________.qualityRepublicactiveprinciples课后练习5.Itwas______(吝啬的)ofhimnottoinviteher.6.She’salwaysvery________(大方的)tothekids.7.Iftheearth’stemperaturerises,itwillbeadisasterforall________(人类).generousmeanmankindII.用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1.Amy,don’tbe______(self).Lettheothershaveaturn.2.Shesetanexampletousin______(self)workingforthecountry.3.Thebabylooksso________(peace)whenhe’ssleeping.4.Shedescribedherhusbandas“agoodmananda(n)_______(devote)husband.”selfishselflesspeacefuldevotedIII.用方框中所给词或短语的适当形式填空。
