Activities

Step 6. Intensive
reading
Ss are required to
read the passage carefully again and answer some
detailed questions on
the screen. Then
teacher picks out some difficult sentences to
explain.
1. They develop a
style that agents market agressively to hasten
popularity, and their ride
on the
express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would
be hard-pressed to tell you how they
even got there. (Para. 3)
Meaning: The arists form a style that
agents push hard to make them become popular in a
fairly
quick
way.
Most
of
artists
would
have
rather
a
vague
idea
about
how
on
earth
they
become
famous. Here, in this sentence, “ride
on the express elevator to the top” is
metaphorically used,
indicating the
artists seek their fame in a rapid way.
2. After their enthusiasm dissolved,
the public simply move on to the next flavor of
the the
month. (Para. 3)
Meaning: After their enthusiasm has
disappeared, the public simply turn to another
star who is
very popular at that time,
but similarly only for a short period of time.
Here the author use “the
month” to indicate a short period of
time.
3. Fame’s spotlight
can be hotter than a tropical jungle
—
a fraud is
quickly exposed, and
the pressure of so
much attention is too much for most to endure.
(Para. 5)
#
Meaning:
Fame
leads
to
a
lot
of
publicity.
If
a
famous
person
commits
a
fraud,
it
will
be
discovered by the public
quickly. And famous people are always the focus of
the public, so they
attract too much
attention which makes them live under great
pressure. Here “a tropical jungle”
is
metaphorically used.
4. One
drop of fame will likely contaminate the entire
well of a man’s soul, and so an artist
who remains true to himself or herself
is particularly amazing. (Para. 6)
Meaning: Even a little bit of fame can
poison a man’s sou
l to great extent,
and so an artist who
still acts
according to his or her own will or judgment is
especially amazing. Here both “drop” and
“well” are metaphorically used. “drop”
here means a little bit, or a small tinge..
If you say someone
is/remains true to sb./sth., you mean someone is
loyal to sb./sth. in a
consistent way.
I
promise I will always remain to myself forever.
我发誓我将永远忠于自我。
Purpose: Enhance students’
