This unit is a common knowledge about a famous author named Bernard Shaw and his creation Pygmalion. Now I will introduce the author and the play briefly to you. Listen to me carefully please.Bernard Shaws Pygmalion is a fantastic play everyone should read. This play is great for many reasons. It explores the problems of class and love in early 20th century England. Shaws brilliant character description of the arrogant（傲慢）and rude but highly intelligent Higgins and the straightforward, strong and intelligent Eliza lead the audience to love the characters and be absorbed by the story. Higgins many unpleasant words to Eliza are cruel, but the audience should not overlook his better points, such as his goal of creating a better society through knowledge and elimination（根除） of class and prejudices（偏见）. Higgins, representing Shaws own beliefs, believes that, by using phonetics, accents could be eliminated and therefore, with everyone speaking the same way, society would become classless. Higgins is sexist. He never thinks much of women. Eliza, though, wants love someone who cares for her and respects her. She finds this in Freddy. He is not worthy of her due to his foolish nature, but she accepts him anyway. It can be seen that she does not truly belong to either the lower or middle class. She cannot go back to being a flower girl, however she does not feel completely at ease in the middle class. Alfred Doolittle is a good example of the new upwardly mobile middle class. Doolittle provides much comic relief throughout the play. His comments on “middle-class morality” sound true. Pickering just serves as a contrast to Higgins. He treats Eliza well. Shaws ending is brilliant as it does not stick to the usual romantic ending, where the reader would expect Eliza and Higgins to have a romantic relationship. The fact is that Higgins became Elizas teacher. They became friends and respected each other. In conclusion, Shaws play Pygmalion is a well written play which is both a drama and social critique（评论）. 2Warming up by questions1） Have you ever heard a well-known author named Bernard Shaw？2） Which country is he from？3） Can you tell us one or two of his representations？4） What is the meaning of Pygmalion for Chinese?3.

Look at the Chinese material and try to talk about it with your desk mate in English. 一个都不能少(No One Less) 水泉小学的高老师在回家 看望病重的母亲，村长从邻村找到魏敏芝给高老师代一个月课。高老师临走时再三叮嘱魏敏芝，一定要把学生 看往，一个都不能少。 魏敏芝整天让学生 抄课文，每天清点人数，谁要把学生 弄走，就跟谁急，边村长的话也不听。十岁的张慧科因家欠债无力偿还，不得不失学到城里打工。魏敏芝记住高老师临行前的叮嘱，决心把慧科找回来。她打听到张慧科在城里的住处，单身一人踏上了进城之路，十三岁的魏敏芝开始了茫茫人海里的寻找Key for reference: Mr. Gao, who is teaching in Shuiquan primary school, is going home to look after his mother who is seriously ill. The village head asks Miss. Wei Minzhi, a thirteen-year-old girl, to teach the students instead of Gao. Gao tells Wei to keep everyone at school, no one less. Miss. Wei makes the students stay in the classroom all the day and counts them now and then. A student, who is named Zhang Huike and just ten years old, has to go to work in the city because of his familys trouble. Wei decides to look for the boy in the city to bring him back to school. Step 3: Reading1. Reading and answering questionsRead part one Pygmalionthe Play and part two Extract from Pygmalion in detail and answer the following questions1) Why is the play called Pygmalion?2) What does Higgins want to do with Eliza?3) How does Eliza change?4) Does the Extract in part two come from the beginning, the middle or the end of the play? Say why you think so?5) How does Higgins treat Eliza?6) How does Eliza win Higgins respect?Keys for reference:1) Because there is a classical Greek myth in which a king, Pygmalion, carves a statue of a beautiful woman. Then the statue comes to life, and the king falls in love with the woman and marries her. The play is based on the myth, so it is called Pygmalion.2) Higgins, a professor, as a kind of experiment, wants to make a lady out of an uneducated girl called Eliza Doolittle, who sells flowers in the street.3) Eliza then goes to stay with Higgins and his friend Pickering receiving lessons from him in how to speak correctly. She slowly changes, becoming a beautiful and charming young woman, a lady also in polite society.4) I think the extract comes from the beginning of the play. Because Eliza sells flowers on a street corner and cant talk better. She prepares to learn to speak following Higgins .5) Higgins treats Eliza as if she were dirt.6) With the help of Mr. Pickering, Eliza wins Higgins respect.2.

The following are some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions:(1) Each persons perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experience.(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what weve observed. It is not necessarily true that persons perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see what may be obverse to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore the stimulus -“Hes basically a good boy, so what I saw was not shoplifting.” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information -“All kids get into mischief. Taking a book form the bookstore isnt such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information - “It wasnt shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.” 1. The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _. A. the abilities of ones auditory and visual sensors B. cultural background and personal experience C. experiences one learns from others D. critical measures taken by other people2. While observing a particular person, _. A. one is likely to take all aspects (sides) into consideration B. one pays more attention to his or her advantages C. children often differ from grown-ups in perception D. one tends to choose certain cues to look for3. Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because_ A. their yardsticks are not the same B. either of them may be slow to catch information C. the time for observation is not long enough D. each of them uses different languages to express his or her impressions4. The underlined word “ignore” in point 3 means to _. A. understand somet
