Unit 6 MoneyUnit 6MoneyBackground information United Way International 国际联合劝募协会 联合劝募是一个以社区为基础的系统，其组织遍及全世界各城市与国家。它是一个自给自足的系统，并且能动员来自社会各领域的地方领袖。这些领袖共同合作以确认社会的需求并协助解决健康与人类福祉的问题，他们也举办社区内的募款活动，以支持组织本身及其计划的运作。这些计划的目的是满足人类最迫切的需求并且改善生活品质。联合劝募组织更将来自政府、私部门及社会各阶层的人结合起来，共同讨论人类的健康和福利问题，并且提出解决之道。 第一个联合劝募于1887年在美国科罗拉多州的丹佛市成立，原因是为了解决在淘金热中涌入丹佛市寻找美好未来，却在淘金梦破灭后留下的十万余丧失生计人口的救济需求。当时四位不同宗教的领袖及一个女性社区义工团体决定共同募款来解决整个社区的问题。自那时起，联合劝募的社区募款方式就被公认为一种花最低成本募集最多资金的最佳方法。在某些国家，联合劝募以不同的名称出现公益金 (Community Chest)、红羽毛 (Red Feather)、联合基金 (United Fund) 或是翻译成各国的母语。然而，他们大多数仍保留了联合劝募的助人之手(helping hand) 的识别标志。虽然他们的名字不尽相同，这些各自独立的组织却怀著共同的宗旨：增加人们的组织能力去关怀更多需要的人。 Silicon Valley 硅谷 (美国加州)硅谷位于全球高科技发展重镇，所以在这一地区的大小城市希望和硅谷沾亲带故，让世人对之刮目相看。如该地区各地自称的硅谷心脏、硅谷首都、硅谷大门等，根据诺贝尔奖得主William Shockley 称，真正的硅谷诞生地应该位于山景城（Mountain View）的一幢建筑里，因为在那里建立了第一个制造晶片的实验室。 高科技产业员工选择在硅谷工作及企业选择在当地投资的重要因素之一是因为当地美丽自然的环境所带来的高品质生活以及清新的企业形象，另外也是当地的高等学府所带来的技术转移。著名的公司如苹果、惠普、英特尔和IBM等都位于硅谷。硅谷往南有洛杉矶迪士尼乐园、环球影城、拉斯维加斯赌城等。 最近几年硅谷经历了经济不景气的低潮，这个高科技产业的重镇，比起从前的光荣景象更是萧条不少，几乎每家硅谷大公司都走上裁员一途，许多熬不下去的Star-Up（刚成立的小公司）也都关门大吉了，硅谷正在静静的等待下一波的经济复苏。一般而言，硅谷是一个（对科技业者）充满机会和希望的地方。Warm-up ActivitiesActivity One:Directions: Ask students to discuss:Which of the two opinions do you support more?1) Spare well and have well.(会节省，不受穷。)2) Riches come from a wise mind and good investment. (财富来自于智慧和好的投资。)Tips:- I support the first one. Everyone, poor or rich, should cultivate the habit of saving. If one becomes extravagant, he or she will probably end up with nothing at all.- I support the latter opinion. Investment can encourage people to become daring, wise and creative. One may become even richer with the right investment projects. Besides, if one just relies on savings, he or she will miss many good chances to enjoy life.Activities:Directions: Ask students the following questions.1) If you have an extra sum of money, will you put it in the bank or invest it? Why?2) Before investing, what factors will you take into consideration?Tips:- bank interest is little but safe; investment involves risk, chance, but benefit much . Profits, potential risks, partners, policy .Activity Three:Directions: Ask students the following question.Do we work just to make money?Tips: - Jobs and work do much more than most of us realize to provide happiness and contentment. We are all used to thinking that work provides the material things of lifethe goods and services that make possible our version of modern civilization. But we are much less conscious of the extent to which work provides the more intangible, the crucial psychological well-being that can make the difference between a full and an empty life.:Text comprehensionMain idea: The text mainly talk about why people struggle to build wealth and money, it tells three main reasons and analyses each of the reasons, and the author has a conclusion of how to build wealth and money at the end.

If he had taken your advice ， he wouldnt have made such a bad mistake.表示与将来事实相反e.g. I would go shopping with you if it were to be Sunday tomorrow.If he were to be given another chance to do it again， he could certainly achieve more.3、 虚拟条件句的结构变异1、虚拟条件句的倒装（if的省略）在虚拟条件句中，为了强调所假设条件的虚拟性，或突出说话人的一种主观愿望，虚拟条件句可用倒装结构。虚拟条件句的倒装是通过去掉if，把条件从句谓语中的助动词、情态动词或系动词放在句首实现的。例如：Had I been(= If I had been ) in that situation， I would not have let the thief escape away with so much money.Should there be (= If there should be) a drought， what should we do at that time ?Had it not been for your help, we could have finished it on time.2、错综时间条件句(混合虚拟)有时条件从句的动作和主句的动作发生的时间并不一致，这时谓语动词的形式应根据它所要表示的具体时间来决定。例如：If we hadnt been working hard in the past few years, things wouldnt be going so smoothly.If the Party hadn t led the Chinese people to liberate the country，Chinese people would still live a life in pain and poverty.3、含蓄条件句有时假设的情况并不以条件从句的形式表现出来，而是通过某个介词或介词短语(如：with， otherwise， without， but for， in that position )、上下文或其它方式表现出来。这种句子称为含蓄条件句。例如：But for the help from you , I would not have had the chance to go to college.I would never mind you making such loud noises, but，you see，my baby is in a deep sleep.It was so quiet ; you could have heard a pin drop.4、 其他与虚拟语气有关的句型1. wish结构 过去 Had done 现在 Were/did 将来 Would e.g. I wish it were spring in my hometown all the year around He wishes he hadnt lost the chance. I wish I hadnt wasted so much time.2. as if 从句用虚拟语气的情况是当说话人认为句子所述的是不真实的或极少有可能发生或存在的情况时。从句虚拟语气动词时态的形式如下：（1）如果从句表示与现在事实相反，谓语动词用一般过去时 e.g. You look as if you didnt care 你看上去好像并不在乎。 He talks as if he knew where she was （2）从句表示与过去事实相反，谓语动词用“had过去分词”。 e.g. He talks about Rome as if he had been there before The girl listened as if she had been turned to stone 那女孩倾听着，一动也不动，像已经变成了石头似的。（3）从句表示与将来事实相反，谓语动词用“wouldcouldmight动词原形”。e.g. He opened his mouth as if he would say something It looks as if it might snow 3. 主语从句中的虚拟语气 1） It be + 形容词 + that （should） 用于该句型的形容词是：necessary, good, important, right, wrong, better, natural, proper, funny, strange, surprising 一些名词也可以用于在该结构中。如：a pity， no wonder 2） It be + 过去分词 + that （should） 用于该结构中的过去分词是表示“建议、请求、命令”等词的过去分词。如：desired， suggested，requested，ordered，proposed等。 3）It is time（about time， high time）that （过去式动词形式或should动词原形） It is high time I went home now. = It is high time I should go home now. 4. 在suggest ， order， demand ， propose， command， request， desire，insist等表示建议、命令、要求、意见的动词后接的宾语从句中要使用虚拟语气。e.g. He suggests that she should leave the house at once.The leader ordered that the task(should) be finished as soon as possible.He proposed that we (should) deal with the problem by the view of development.5. 表语从句、同位语从句中的虚拟语气 在suggestion， proposal， order， plan， idea， advice， decision等需要有内涵的名词后面的表语从句、同位语从句中，要使用虚拟语气。其谓语动词应用：should原形动词。另外连接从句的that不能省略。 e.g.My suggestion is that we should go there at once. What do you think of his proposal that we should put on a play at the English evening?
