Part II. While-teaching activity
1. Difficult sentences
1. Since the Founding Fathers arrived
in America, our children have been the target of
messages
about the value of
determination in the face of life’s difficulties.
(Line 1, Para 3)
From the
time Europeans first arrived in North America,
they have been telling their children
they must be strong to face
difficulties and overcome them. This attitude has
been very intense in
American culture
both because of the type of Protestant
Christianity (
基督教中的新教
) the
early
settlers
believed
in,
and
the
obvious
difficulties
and
dangers
they
faced
in
settling
on
a
new
continent with so little known and so
many enemies.
2.
Setting
new
goals
appears
to
protect
them
from
the
emotional
consequences
of
failure,
especially the Bulldogs who have a hard
time admitting defeat. (Line 8, Para 7)
The consequences could include feelings
of low self-esteem, inadequacy or reluctance to
try
anything similar to the failed
activity. It helps us to recover if we set new
goals and get on with
life as we don’t
have to feel burdened by the previous defeat. This
is especially true of the Bulldog
type
of character as they find giving up especially
stressful and depressing. Of course, they also
get most out of having a new aim to
pursue as that is in their nature.
3.
Melancholy can actually help most of us to give up
on the Olympic gold medal and preserve the
human species. (Line 11, Para 8)
When we cannot do something, we feel
depressed. The depression stops us from trying
again,
makes
us
put
aside
unrealistic
goals
like
getting
an
Olympic
gold
medal,
gives
us
a
chance
to
re-evaluate our situation and try
something attainable. This protects us from
damaging ourselves
trying to do what is
beyond us.
4. For young people, it’s
part of cultivating an individual identity in the
world. (Line 2, Para 9)
People have different goals
–
this is what makes people
different. Without different ambitions
young people would all be the same.
5. So while we may grow out of our
dreams, at the same time, we grow up. (Line 14,
Para 9)
We lose our dreams as we age,
but also become more mature and realistic.
