Theme exploration
Critical
thinking
1.
If you were the
daughter, what response
would you have when
you read the article?
Tips : If I were the
daughter, I would be very
much touched when I
read the article. I would
call my mom to say
sorry for acting rebelliously
and would tell
her how much I love her.
Probably I would
return home as soon as I can.
14
2. Some young people refuse to
take their
parents’ advice or even do the
opposite as they
think they are adults. How do
you think about
it?
Tips: I don’t think it
is wise to refuse parents’
advice or even do
the opposite without a good
reason. Your
parents care about you more than
anybody else
and always want to share their
experience with
you. If you follow their advice,
you can at
least learn from their experience and
avoid
making silly mistakes. If you don’t take
their
advice, you may still get experience – but
in
a hard way. Besides, your parents may
directly
point out your weaknesses that your
peers
wouldn’t. So, listening to your parents’
advice can make you smarter and help you grow
mature.
3. Some say a good
relationship starts with good
communication.
What can you do to strengthen
communication
with your parents?
Tips:
Good
communication will, in my view,
15
help build a good relationship.
The following are
my ways to strengthen
communication with my
parents:
• Visit
them whenever possible;
• Invite them to
see what I am doing at college;
• Teach them
to use new communication tools,
such as WeChat
and Skype so that they can
communicate with me
wherever I am;
• Try to look at things in
their perspectives;
and
• Share with
them my feelings, problems or
ambitions.
Culture exploration
What are the
differences between the traditional
Chinese
parenting style and the western
parenting
style? Which one do you prefer?
Tips: many
Chinese parents view their children
as their
products, treating them as objects and
trying
to mold them into the forms they wish the
children to be. While the American parents pay
more
attention to
16
children’s individual
personality and care more about their
happiness.
IV.
Language
application
Absolute structure consists of a
noun plus at
least one other word, such as an
adjective, a
prepositional phrase, adverbs or
participles. 独
立结构一般由“名词 + 形容词 分词 介词短
语”构成。
Example:
She left the bedroom a
ridiculous mess, the
comforter on the floor,
the sheets tossed aside.
(Para. 11)
(1)名词+现在分词
An old man was standing before
them, his wide,
pale eyes shining like moons
through the gloom
of the shop. (From Harry
Potter and the
Philosopher’s Stone)
一个老人站在他们面前，他大而发青的眼睛透过
小店的昏暗闪着光。
(2)名词+介词短语
Harry and Ron barely had time
to exchange
17
mystified
looks before she was dashing back, an
enormous
old book in her arms. (From Harry
Potter and
the Philosopher’s Stone)
哈利和罗恩还没有回过神来，她便抱着一堆书，
冲了回来。
名词+过去分词
(3)… the next second, Harry had pulled out of
the dive, his arm raised in triumph, the
Snitch
clasped in his hand. (From Harry Potter
and the
Philosopher’s Stone)
……紧接着，哈利停止了俯冲。他胜利地举起手
臂，飞贼被他紧紧地抓在手里。
(4)名词+形容词
Come on, run, run! Harry yelled
at Hermione,
trying to pull her toward the
door, but she
couldn’t move, she was still
flat against the wall,
her mouth open with
terror. (From Harry Potter
and the
Philosopher’s Stone)
过来，快跑，快跑！哈利朝赫敏喊道，想把她拉
向门口，但是她动弹不得,
仍然紧紧地贴在墙
上，嘴巴惊恐地张得老大。

You may apply
as many expressions from the
text as possible to
your writing.
You can
follow the outline given below.
Part I: I
(the daughter) pack the luggage and get
ready
for college.
1. The mess I leave in my
bathroom and
bedroom;
2. What I feel at
that particular moment (glad
for being finally
free, can’t wait to leave, striving
for
independence);
Part II: I feel sad when I see
the gifts my parents
sent me.
1. The
gifts parents sent me and the power I
once

I am earning
myself …,
pass from …to …,
I catch myself
doing …,
pack …into…,
for free …,
after all,
reverse myself,
keep back
one’s tears
Section B Time slows down
I. Read in thought groups
When we read,
our eyes make small stops along
the line of
text. Poor readers make many more
fixations
(eye stops) than good readers. Not only
does
this slow you down, but it inhibits
comprehension because meaning is easier to
pull
from groups of words rather than from
individual words or even single letters. Try
to
read in phrases of three or four words,
23
especially in complete
clauses and prepositional
phrases. To develop
the habit of reading in
phrases, you may use a
“” to mark off phrases
and to group them into
group thoughts. Read
the following sentences
by dividing them into
phrases, or thought
groups.
Examples:
your team does its job
well, your manager
will speak kindly about
your group.
2. She left the bedroom a
ridiculous mess, the
comforter on the floor,
the dress tossed aside. I
strip off the
comforter, the blanket, sheets, and
pillows.
Once she startsfeeding coins into
laundry
machines, she’ll appreciate the years
of clean
clothes I’ve provided for free.
3.
“All right,” he says, and carries the smelly
package. As we walk back, he tells me about
migrations of eels to the Sargasso Sea: how
eels come down Dalmatian rivers and swim
across the Mediterranean and then the whole
Atlantic, until they reach the warm
4.
Sargasso Sea. Here they lay their legs, and
24
then the baby eels swim back to
the native
rivers of their parents.
II.

1. Read
paragraphs 2, 5, 6 in thought groups,
find out
what make the daughter recall an
experience
with her father when she was
five? (Paras.
2-6)
2. What makes the daughter’s fatigue go
away?
(Para. 7)
3. How does the daughter
react when her

smoked eel
home for supper? (Paras. 8-11)
4. What happens to the eel finally? (Paras.
12-19)
5. Why does the father forgive her
daughter
having eaten the eel up? (Para. 20)
6. Why does the daughter mention the happy
experiences with her father in the past?
(Paras. 21-22)
7. What has the daughter
done to make her
father cheer up again?
(Paras. 24-34)
25

dried eel
