Unit 4 Cyberspace 教材背景链接,Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein 想像力比知识更为重要。 阿尔伯特爱因斯坦 Anything one man can imagine,other men can make real. Jules Verne,French Writer 但凡人能想像到的事物,必定有人能将它实现。 法国作家凡尔纳,Will Email Replace Letterwriting? The State of Letterwriting To truly know the decline of letterwriting,its best to look at surveys of the young.Two years ago,a survey found that a third of 16 to 19yearold girls had never written a letter,while among boys,the figure was over a half.When did you last write a proper letter to a close friend or family member?Where do you keep your writing paper and envelopes?,If the letter really is disappearing fast,now might be a good time to chew over what we are about to lose. The Effect of Email The coming of email has played much the biggest role in the fate(命运) of the letter.“In the Victorian era,letterwriting was what people did in their spare time,and then they read the letters to each other.In a way,it was the news,as much as anything,”the novelist AS. Byatt says.,There is only one problem:what her trust on computerbased communication will mean for her works.“Ive been talking to the people in the British Library,who are interested in my archive(档案文件),but its not going to be easy for them,because technology keeps changing,”she says.“Very often,they cant read the computer material theyve collected.At last theyd like to take away a copy of my hard disk.They still love ink on paper.” The Problems Biographers Will Meet,And so we arrive at one of the more worrying results of the change from paper to computers:if emails now note the progress of important lives down,how will future biographers manage? “From that point of view,its a completely disappointing thing,”says the novelist and biographer DJ.Taylor,whose Life of William Makepeace Thackeray used a lot of handwritten letters.“Thackeray always thought that he wasnt much of a letterwriter,but he wrote 15 every morning.In some ways,its the only way that you can follow his life.”,“Long letters between people who know each other well are quite a complicated(复杂的) way of talk,”he says.“The problem is not so much the difference between the letter and the email;the problem is whether anybody is going to keep those forms of communication.If youre a famous writer,and youre sending emails to your friends,are you going to copy them?I dont know.” The Future of Letterwriting,Behind the disappointing statistics(统计数字),letterwriters can find cause for hope.The simple number of letters may seem to be falling,but there are signs of interest in the world of paper,envelopes,and trips to the post office. Perhaps the best example of all this is the success of the stationery sold by Smythson.“The need for Smythson stationery,”says a company spokeswoman,“shows the fact that in this time of advanced technology,the written word is more celebrated and appreciated than ever before.”,Task:True or False 116 to 19yearold boys never write letters.( ) 2Novelist AS.Byatt has used the computer to write her works.( ) 3Thackeray has to write letters because he doesnt have a computer.( ) Keys:1.F 2.T 3.F,Section Warmup & Lesson 1,速效提能演练,Unit 1,重点难点探究,Section ,预习多维感知,Step One:Ask and Discussion Compared to 20 years ago how do you think technology will change our lives? _ _,预习多维感知,答案:We have more cars and computers which/ that are more and more popular.
