Unit 1 Kung Fu Panda-Key to exercisesPart I Language through MovieMovie Clip 11. What is Pos dream about? Judging from this part, do you think that Po is a big fan of daydreaming? l Po dreams of being a fierce and respected Kung Fu master, upholding justice and helping to defeat the evil. l Judging from this part, I think Po is a big fan of daydreaming. He cannot get up from his bed properly, not to mention being a Kung Fu master. Yet, through the whole movie, we can see that he is so obsessed with Kung Fu that his mind is full of “Kung Fu stuff”. And he has developed an encyclopedic knowledge of the lore of warriors, famous combat moves, dates and historic artifacts. Thats to say, besides daydreaming, Po has taken action and has done his homework in Kung Fu. 2. Why does Po lie to his father? Do you notice the difference between Po and hisfather? What is it specifically? l For one thing, Po is afraid that his father would laugh at him for being so unrealistic. For another, Po himself also believes it is just a dream and he doesnt want to make a fuss over it by telling his father.l Pos father Mr. Ping once had a dream of making tofu, but he felt it was a stupid dream and couldnt imagine himself making tofu. From this we can see that he is a very conservative and self-content man with little desire and no courage. Though Po has been influenced by his father to a certain degree, he has his own ideas concerning dream. Regardless of his physical clumsiness, Po dreams the day away about becoming a Kung Fu master. He is not satisfied with “just being him” and is waiting for chances to change.【电影对白中有一处师父取笑熊猫，熊猫吐露真情的地方提到But it could never hurt more than it did everyday in my life just being me. I stayed because I thought if anyone could change me, could make me not me.it was you.】Movie Clip 21. Why does Po feel upset after being unexpectedly chosen to join the world of Kung Fu and study alongside his idols? List at least two reasons.l 1st, he disappoints his father by joining the world of Kung Fu. 2nd, he is not accepted by the Furious Five and is humiliated by Tigress. 3rd, he finds that he has a long way to go and isnt sure if he can stick to it and be successful (Or: He feels he probably sucked more today than anyone in the history of Kung Fu).2. What is Master Oogways comment about Po? How does he enlighten Po?l Master Oogway thinks that Po is too concerned with what was and what will be. He wants to emphasize to Po that it is most important to “seize today”, so he quotes a famous saying “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.” to enlighten Po.

Knowing Master Oogways vision about Tai Lungs possible return, what is Shifus decision? l Shifu orders Zeng to fly to Chorh-Gom Prison and tell them to double the guards, double the weapons. Double everything. 2. How do you understand Master Oogways comment on Shifus decision that “One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it”? Can you paraphrase this sentence?l The more one tries to avoid something undesirable, the easier one may come across it. / OR: Sometimes, it is impossible to change ones fate or destiny. / OR: One had better face the reality instead of shunning it.3. Do Master Oogway and Shifu reach any consensus about the solution to their problem? What is it?l Yes. They both agree that it is time to choose the Dragon Warrior and the Dragon Warrior will be given the Dragon Scroll with limitless power and then to defeat Tai Lung.4. In this scene, Po repeats “I was kind of thinking, maybe I” twice. What is his true intention and what does he say to his father instead?l Pos true intention is to say “Maybe I could go to the Jade Palace to watch the show”. Yet, he says “Maybe I could also sell the bean buns. They are about to go bad” instead. (We can see Po loves his father and doesnt want to hurt his fathers feelings. He tries to meet his fathers expectation. He is an obedient and considerate son.)Movie Clip 4Task One General understanding of the main idea1. _T_ In this scene, Shifu tries to get rid of Po by giving him a painful lesson.l Note: When Po was unexpected chosen by Master Oogway, the Furious Five says to Shifu “Forgive us Master. We have failed you.” And Shifu replies “No. If the panda has not quit by morning, then I would have failed you.” Since then, Shifu is looking for every chance to get rid of Po.2. _F_ Po knows every detail about Shifus past with Tai Lung.l Note: Po knows quite a lot about Shifus past with Tai Lung. There are things hedoesnt know, which is revealed in the story Tigress tells.3. _F_ Shifu seems heartless and seldom smiles after Tai Lung came to his life.l Note: Shifu seems heartless and seldom smiles after Tai Lung ended up in prison.Task Two Further understanding of detailsTigress: He wasnt just a student. Shifu found him as a _cub_. And he raised him as his son. And when the child showed talent in kung fu, Shifu trained him. He believed in him. He told him he was destined for greatness. It was never enough for Tai Lung. He wanted the Dragon Scroll. But Oogway saw darkness in his heart and refused. Outraged , Tai Lung laid waste to the Valley. He tried to take the Scroll by force . And Shifu has to destroy what he had created.Movie Clip 5Task One General understanding of the main ideaa. Knowing Tai Lungs at large, it is very difficult for Shifu to concentrate and find “inner peace”.b. It is self-contradictory for Master Oogway to say “Theres just news. No good or bad”, and then says “That is bad news”. c. Shifu cannot understand why Master Oogway repeats “There are no accidents” three times.d. According to Master Oogway, it is Shifus illusion of control that prevents him from becoming the Dragon Warrior.e. Though Shifu has promised Master Oogway hell believe, he has no confidence in Po and his ability to defeat Tai Lung.Correct statement(s): c, d, el Note: a. This is before Shifu knows Master Oogways vision. b. “That is bad news” is followed by “if you do not believe that the Dragon Warrior can stop him”. Task Two Further understanding of details 1. According to Master Oogway, what are the things people cannot control concerning the tree in front of him? People can not decide when the tree will blossom according to their needs. People can not decide when the tree will bear fruit before its time. 2. In Shifus opinion, what are the things people can actually control relating to the same tree? People can control when the fruit will fall. People can control where to plant the seed.Conclusion：Master Oogway and Shifu hold _different_ opinions mainly because Master Oogway is focusing on the _internal_ causes while Shifu is talking about the _external_ causes relating to an event or a person.Task Three Interactive Activityl 福兮祸之所伏，祸兮福之所倚Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. /Luck and Misfortune comes in turn.No weal without woe. Misfortune is where happiness depends; happiness is where misfortune underlies.l 塞翁失马焉知非福No great loss without some small gain.A loss may turn out to be a gain.Misfortune may be an actual blessing.Afflictions are sometimes blessings in disguise.Evil does not always come to injure.Behind bad luck comes good luck.Every cloud has a silver lining.l 人有不为也，而后可以有为。It is only by giving up doing something that one can be more successful in completing what is intended to do.Only when you are aware of your priority, can you make greater success.l 无为也，则用天下而有余；有为也，则为天下用而不足。If one go with the flow of the natural world, then the whole world is his oyster; but if one tries to go against it, he was doomed to failure.l 孝子不谀其亲，忠臣不谄其君，臣、子之盛也。A loyal child doesnt flatter his parents and a loyal vassal doesnt flatter his Master. When a child has reached a certain state that he doesnt have to flatter his parents, he is a loyal child; when a vassal has reached a certain state that he doesnt have to flatter his Master, he is a loyal vassal.Part II Culture through MovieB Cultural Enrichment ListeningTask OneMultiple Choices(1) C (2) D (3) B (4) D(1.)
