List the questions on the blackboard, ask the students to read the text quickly in 10 minutes
and then answer the questions.
1. Why is the competition at the National Junior Olympics described as the most challenging in
Michael’s pole-vaulting career?
Michael was preparing for the pole vault, and the pole was set at 17 feet three inches higher
than his personal best, so it can be regarded as the most challenging day.
2. Why the pole vault is the highlight of the track and field competition?
There are so many people watching the competition, because it combines the grace of a
gymnast with the strength of a body builder.
3. What was Michael’s childhood dream? How come he had this dream?
He was dreaming of flying like an eagle. His mother contributes a lot to his dream.

5. What made Michael associate his final jump with his childhood dream?
Before the final jump, he felt nervous very much, and then he began to think about his mother,
and took deep breath. After he overcame his nervous state, he began to run, and he felt it was like
the flying in his dream, which indicated that he had achieved success that he expected for a long
time.
6. Why would Michael attract a lot of media attention?
He was a blind man.

V. Homework (5m)
Collect stories relevant to overcoming obstacles, especially those who do not have a sound
body, and try to tell the story during the class.

Second Period
I. Review Task (10m)
Divide the class into several groups, and ask them to tell their stories to each other, and then
choose one representative to tell the story during the class.
(Helen Keller: though she was blind and deaf, but she became a famous writer and teacher.
Stephen Hawking: though he suffered a serious disease, and can’t move and speak, he became a
famous scientist and developed a lot of influential theories. )
II. Detailed Analysis of the Text (60m)
1. Playing on the Meaning of Words (part I)
Many words have more than one meaning and can remind one of a number of different ideas
and events all at once. For example, the first three sentences of paragraph one, in which a word is
used in two different senses. What are they?
And ask the students to give their own opinion on the question: How do you understand the
title “True Height”? Does it also carry more than one meaning?
After reading the whole text, it is known that the title of the text had more than one meaning. It
can be understood as the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another, or it can be viewed
as the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.
Extra reading for fun: each line has a word or words that remind us of an activity or discovery
associated with the scientists mentioned, can you soot the words?
Replying to an Invitation to the a Scientists’ Ball
a. Pierre and Marie Curie were radiating enthusiasm;
b. Einstein thought it would be relatively easy to attend;
c. Edison thought it would be an illumination experience; (详见教参50页)
2. Writing Technique: flash back (part II)
As the text consists of the main story and a flashback, the narration has to switch from the
ongoing competition to earlier events and then return to the ongoing competition. How does the
author manage to make these parts in the text flow smoothly?
1) To repeat a key word; ask the students to find the key word that helps join part one and part
two.
2) To pick up a key idea and then repeat; ask the students to find the key idea that helps join
part two and part three.
Ask the students to pay more attention to the change of the tense. (Which sentence shows the
beginning and ending of the flashback? past tense ---- part perfect tense ---- past tense)
3. Finding out Details (part II—part III)
1) A child usually inherits characteristics from both his or her mother and father. So does
Michael. Michael’s mother is romantic and passionate, while his father is a hard-core realist. Ask
the students to find out those details about Michael that show him to be his mother’s boy or his
father’s son.

精品教学课件设计 | Excellent teaching plan
His parents’ different approaches to child rearing:
Mother: tell stories and picture the world romantically ---- free spirit and keen eye;
Father: believe in hard work and sweat ---- give him a careful training.
2) In your opinion, dreaming and hard word, which is more important to Michael’s success?
Why?
the Students to Answer These Questions (part IV)
1) Without the last sentence, would you still admire Michael’s achievement?
2) Who would you admire better, a Michael with a sound body or a blind Michael?
3) Why does the author keep the secret about Michael’s blindness until the last sentence?
From the text, it can be found that the most striking feature is the closing line. As we read on,
our admiration for Michael is building up until we believe that, when Michael broke both national
and international records, we have reached the climax. However, real climax is in the last sentence.
When we find that out, what a great impact it has on us!
III Homework
1. Words and phrases: incline, in excellent health, horrible, suffer from, progressive, in spite of,
install, optimist, to a degree, hold onto, miserable, dismiss, ease, interval, penetrate, trait,
shortcoming, disillusion, sanity, sweep over, honk the horn, jack up, humble.
2. Finish the comprehension check
3. Answer the question: how many parts should the text be divided into?

Third Period
I. Dictation:
Ask the students to put down the following phrases and ask them to translate them into Chinese
or make sentences with them.
1) coincide with 2) bring (somebody) back to earth 3) in one’s mind’s eye
4) be ashamed of 5) bear (somebodysomething) out 6) along with
7) stretch out 8) on onetwoseveral occasion(s)
II. Summary of Text A
From the text, we can find that the real climax is in the last sentence. Michael Stone, a blind
athlete, dreamed flying passionately and he reached his destination after years of rigid training. On
the way to his success, he overcomes some obstacles. He didn’t complain about his unfortunate, but
strive to make a miracle of himself. His achievement was a proof that no matter who you are, no
mater what you have experienced and no matter what confronts you, your job is to run for your
dream via hardworking persistently. Life is a journey full of adventure, so you have to explore the
ways to overcome the obstacles in your way to success.
III. Do the after-text exercises
IV. Analysis of text B:
Fourteen Steps
1. Analysis of the title:
Usually, to go through fourteen steps is just a piece of cake for a healthy person. So we can
infer that there must be something special or different in the story that we are going to read in the
text. Probably it’s about a disabled man who has difficulties in finishing those fourteen steps.
Therefore, the title suggests that we’ll learn something about obstacles or barriers or people’s
attitudes towards those sufferings.
2. General Statement of the content:
It’s a story about a cripple, who got the disease of the motor nerves and finally had to rely on a
crutch when walking. The story develops according to the changes of his attitude towards life since

精品教学课件设计 | Excellent teaching plan
he experienced lots of things, awful or meaningful. In the following part, the changes will be
discussed in detail.
3. Analysis of the structure and the development of the story:
1) It’s said that a cat has nine lives and the author believed that possible because he thought that he
was living his third life. Ask the students to scan the text, while keeping the questions in mind how
his three lives differ from each other and in what respects.
2) Since the author believed that he had three lives, the text could be divided into three parts:
Part One: My First Life (Para.1-3)
The teacher could list some key words here, which can remind the students of the content and
ask some of the students to retell the original sentences in the text. (very happy, excellent healthy,
two lovely girls, good job, etc.)
→ The author had a happy family, excellent healthy, a good job and two beautiful girls. Since
everything went on well, his first life was a pleasant dream.
Part Two: My Second Life (Para. 4-11)
For this part, the teacher and the students can do the narration together or they can do the Q&A
exercise.
What happened?
→ Every dream has an end, whether it is good or not. The author’s pleasant dream, his first life,
ended when the terrible disease crept towards him and left him disabled.
What’s his attitude towards the incident?
→ At first, he managed to keep healthy and optimistic with the help of those fourteen steps.
(Para.6-8)
→
As he became older, he became more disillusioned and frustrated. He believed that he was one of the most
unfortunate people who were doomed to suffer from those pains.
Part Three: My Third Life (Para. 12-29)
As for this part, there is a story that made great difference to the author’s attitude.
The teacher could choose to pick out some words and ask the students to retell the story.( a dark
night, raining, terrible nature, utterly impossible, lighted windows, a little girl, cheerful greetings, a
long interval, bent, slightly built, frozen, etc.)
(Reference: One raining night, something was going wrong with my car when I started home,
and I needed to change the tire. But I believed that it was utterly impossible for me to do that on
such a nasty day. I needed help. Then I came to the house whose lighted windows welcomed me. I
honked the horn and finally there came a little girl who asked her grandpa to came out afterwards.
While I sitting there comfortable and dry, they were doing the work in the terrible situation. I felt
sorry but soon I comforted myself that I would pay them for it. Finally it was done, and I noticed
that the man was old, bent and slightly built. I intended to pay him but was turned and to my great
astonishment, I found the man was blind. The next moment appeared to be a freezing time for me
since I felt ashamed of what I have done and what I had thought.)
3) After the narration, the teacher could guide the students to analyze the implied meaning of some
words. Here are several examples.
a. utterly impossible: it indicates that the author himself was not willing to overcome the difficulties
himself and he had already exclude him out of the able people.
b. lighted windows: it indicates that the people in that house must be very warm and kind- hearted.
Because according to our common sense, light can always give warm and comfort to people who do
not feel well.
c. cheerful greetings: it indicates that different from the author’s unpleasant mood, the old man was

精品教学课件设计 | Excellent teaching plan
glad to offer his help though it might be tougher for him, a blind old man, to change the tire in the
rain.
d. few frozen seconds: it indicates that the author was shocked and ashamed of his behavior and
thoughts. Something was changing in his mind.
4) Ask some students to translate some sentences.
a. Here hobbled a bitterly disillusioned cripple, a man who held on to his sanity and his wife and
his home and his job because of 14 miserable steps leading to the back door from his garage. 这里一瘸一拐走着的是一个幻想破灭﹑内心痛苦的跛子，一个靠着汽车间通往后门的那14级台阶才
没有失去理智﹑没有丢下妻室并坚持工作的男人。
b. I sat there and said a prayer. I prayed for strength, for a greater understanding, for keener
awareness of my shortcomings.
