Unit1WomenofachievementWorkbook西元1429,英法战争如火如荼之际,法国偏远地区的一个小村落传开一个令法国人振奋的消息。该村落里一个十几岁的少女琼安(蜜拉乔娃维琪)对外宣称自己获得上帝的指示,将带领法国人击退来犯的英军,让法国恢复为一个自由的国家。原本流传于乡间的消息,逐渐为整个法国所知。ListeningonP41法国当时的储君查理(约翰马可维奇),在岳母的鼓吹下,接见琼安,并同时将大批军队交由琼安指挥。一时之间法国军队士气为之一振,接下来由少女所带领的军队战无不克,英军节皆败退。储君也如愿加冕成为真正的国王。国王登基后,不再支持琼安,在缺乏援兵的情况下,法军节节败退,琼安落入英军手中成为众矢之的,所有人将少女指为妖女。不再有人相信她,视她为女巫,最后,她被处以女巫死刑活活被烧死。五百年后,梵帝岗教廷为少女平反,将她册封圣女贞德,平复五百年来的冤屈。JoanofArcListeningonpage41Part1Joan’scountryHerreasonforfightingHerenemyHowdidJoanhelp?TodrivetheEnglishoutofFranceTheEnglishShejoinedtheFrencharmy.France1.thought,followed2.angry,behaved,killed3.later,understood,fightingPart2ListeningtextL=LucLM=MingPart1LM:WhoisJoanofArc?L:ShewasaverybraveFrenchladywhofoughtforhercountryaboutsixhundredyearsago.LM:Whydidshedothat?L:Well,atthattimeEnglishwererulingFrance.TheytreatedtheFrenchverybadly.LM:Ohdear!Whydidn’ttheFrenchsoldiersdrivetheEnglishoutofFrance?L:Theytried,buttheydidnothavegoodleaders.Sotheylosteverybattle.LM:HowdidJoanhelp?L:ShejoinedtheFrencharmy.ShewasaverygoodsoldierandshewonbattlesagainsttheEnglisharmy!LM:Werewomenallowedtobesoldiersthen?L:No,theyweren’t!TheChurchdidn’tallowit.LM:Sohowdidshebecomeasoldier?L:Well,shedressedupandbehavedlikeaman,andsomepeoplesayshewenttoseethekingofFranceandgothispermission.Part2LM:Howcouldshebesobrave?L:That’sbecauseshebelievedGodhadsenther.ShehadmanygoodideasforattackingtheEnglisharmy.TheFrenchsoldiersfollowedher.LM:Isee,butwhatdidtheEnglishdo?L:Theywereveryangry.TheycaughtherandtheChurchdecidedshehadnotbehavedasawomanshould.Sotheykilledher.LM:Howterrible!WhathappenedtotheFrenchafterherdeath?L:TheFrenchsoldierswereinspiredbyherspiritandwonmorebattles.FinallytheyendedtheEnglishruleinFrance.LM:Soshewonintheend.DidtheEnglishfeelsorryaboutwhattheydidtoher?L:Yes,theydid.Muchlatertheyunderstoodthatshewasfightingforhercountry.TheChurchmadeherasaint!ElizabethFry(1780-1845)ElizabethFrywasaQuaker(贵格会教徒,属于基督教派,废除礼仪,反对暴力和战争)whobecamefamousforherworktoreformtheprisonsysteminBritainintheearlynineteenthcentury.Byherexamplesheinspiredotherwomentoplayafullerroleinsociety:itwasunusualforwomentohaveavoiceoutsidethehome.ItwasalsounusualforaQuakertobesoprominent,becauseatthattimetheQuakermovementwasgoingthrougha'quietist'phase,andwasveryinwardlooking.In1780ElizabethGurneywasborninNorwichintoarichQuakerfamily.Elizabethwaswelleducated,whichwasunusualforagirlinthosedays.Shehelpedhermotherwhenshevisitedthepoorandsick.Later,althoughElizabethhad11children,shecontinuedtodohercharitywork.ShefirstvisitedNewgatePrisonin1813andwashorrifiedbywhatshesaw.Therewereover300womenandchildrencrowdedintoaverysmallspace.Elizabethreturnedwithwarmclothingandstrawforthesickwomenandchildren.Prisonershadtopayforeverythingingaol(监狱).Therewerenotoilets,justabucketinthecorner,andlittledrinkingwater.Childrenweresenttoprisonforstealingbread,woolorfordamagingtrees.Punishmentsforrichpeoplewereverydifferentfromthoseforpoorpeople.In1817ElizabethorganisedagrouptohelpfemaleprisonersatNewgateprison.Sheprovideditemsforthewomensotheycouldsew,knitandmakegoodstosell.Shestartedaprisonschoolforthechildrentogivethemsomethingtodo.In1818ElizabethwasaskedtospeaktopeopleinParliamentabouttheprisons.The1823GaolActwaspassedbyParliament,andsomeimprovementsweremade.ElizabethvisitedprisonsalloverBritainandarguedforimprovements.Shewroteabookaboutprisonconditions.ShehelpedimproveconditionsonprisonshipstravellingtoAustralia.Prisonerswerenolongerchainedtothedecksduringthevoyage.ElizabethFryalsosetupatrainingcoursefornurses.ElizabethFrycontinuedtohelpothersuntilshediedon12October1845.Readthearticlequicklyandfindtheanswerstothesequestions:1.Howdidthewomenprisonerslive?Theywerebeingtreatedlikeanimals.Theyhadnobeds,cleanclothes,foodorheating.Anychildborninprisonhadtostaythereandhadnochanceofreceivinganeducation.2.WhatdidElizabethFrydotohelpthem?Sheprovidedfood,cleanclothesandstrawforbeds.Latershebeganaprisonschoolforthechildrenandtaughtthewomentosew,knitandmakegoodstosell.AndlatershewasaskedtogototheleadersofBritaintodiscusshowtoimprovetheconditionsforprisoners.3.What’stheresultofhereffort?Therearethreeresults.Oneisthatthewomenprisonersgotsomeself-respectandimprovedtheirconditionsforthemselves.Thesecondisthatherdeedsinfluentsomeotherwomentojoinintheactivitytohelpthewomenprisoners.Thelastoneandalsothemostimportantoneisthatin1947,aftershediedlongtime,theQuakersweregiventheNobelPeacePrize.NotesonEnglishprisonsinthenineteenthcenturyElizabethFry’ssuggestionsThewomenweretreatedlikeanimals.Shetaughtthewomentosew,knitandmakegoodsFillintheformbelow.NotesonEnglishprisonsinthenineteenthcenturyElizabethFry’ssuggestionsTheyhadnobeds,cleanclothes,foodorheating.Sheprovidedfood,cleanclothesandstrawforbeds.NotesonEnglishprisonsinthenineteenthcenturyElizabethFry’ssuggestionsThechildrenbornintheprisonhadtostaythereandhadnochanceofaneducation.Shebeganaprisonschoolforthechildren.QuestionsWhattheymightsaywithareason1.Elizabeth,whydoyounotspendmoretimewithyourfamily?2.Joseph,whydoyouletyourwifeworkwithprisoners?Thereareplentyofpeopletol
