Warm-up activities(1) Traditional Chinese foods:Eight cuisines: Shandong Cuisine; Sichuan Cuisine; Guangdong Cuisine; Fujian Cuisine; Jiangsu Cuisine; Zhejiang Cuisine; Hunan Cuisine; Anhui Cuisine.(2) Chinese table manners: Respect First It is really an admirable custom to respect others at the table, including the aged, teachers and guests while taking good care of children. Chinese people stress filial piety all the time. The practice of presenting the best or fine food first to the senior members of the family has been observed for countless generations. In ancient times the common people led a needy life but they still tried their best to support the elder mother or father who took it for granted. Although the hosts in China are all friendly and hospitable, you should also show them respect. Before starting to eat dinner, the host may offer some words of greeting. Guests should not start to eat until the host says, Please enjoy yourself or something like that, otherwise it suggests disrespect and causes displeasure. When hosts place dishes on the table, they will arrange the main courses at the center with the supporting dishes evenly placed around them. When the main dishes are prepared in a decorative form either by cut or other means they will be placed facing the major guests and elder people at the table. This also embodies virtue.II. Text analysis:2.1 Comprehension questions:(1) Why is Jiaozi a popular food in northern China? It is mainly because of the cold and arid climate. During the so cold days in winter, people often eat vegetables stored, which would become the main resource of Jiaozi.(2) When do people, generally speaking, eat Jiaozi? Is there any change as time goes by? In the past, people usually eat Jiaozi only during festivals. However, nowadays, except festive days, people also them during common days.(3) Why are Laobians Dumplings distinctive? In what way does the author show their popularity? Laobian Jiaozi are distinctive because of their stuffing- fried meat and variety of vegetable, which are out of the ordinary. The author sets examples to show their popularity. Not only in the North in China can we find them, but also in the South, even the southernmost province of China, namely, Hainan.(4) To what should a cook pay attention when a special Jiaozi-Yuanyang Dumplings is boiled? Because the beef and mutton stuffing would contract and become tuff when they are boiled, a cook should add water again and again, a little once only.(5) What do people usually do after eating a bowl of Yuanyang Dumplings? And why? They usually drink a bowl of the soup after eating the dumplings because they think drinking the soup will help the digestion.(6) Would you please tell something about Xian Dumpling Banquet? In the banquet, various kinds of dumplings are available, and they are of special stuffing and wrappers. It is a good way to welcome or say farewell to friends.(7) Do people from the North and South make dumplings in different ways? Yes. Northerners usually roll out a wrapper for each dumpling, while southerners roll out a large sheet of dough and then use a small bowl turned upside down to cut out them. 2.2 Organizational structure of the text: The first part is a brief introduction, in which the author comes to the topic of Jiaozi directly with the saying Dumplings are the best to eat. Then the author goes on with when to eat dumplings historically. Next comes an example of a famous brand-Laobians Dumplings to show the popularity of Jiaozi. Then it comes to the special way of cooking and eating habit by introducing a special kind of dumplings-Yuanyang Dumplings. Next, the author continues to introduce a particular habit about Jiaozi-Xi;an Dumpling Banquet. Finally, the author gives the reader a sense of closure by moving back to the popularity of making and eating Jiaozi all over China. III. Post-reading discussion: Food SymbolismIn China, foods are given different meanings, so that in certain occasion a kind of food, can only be eaten by some specific individuals, or a kind of food must be eaten in specific occasion. Long noodle is the symbol of longevity in China, so that youngsters or seniors all will have a bowl of Long Life Noodle to expect a healthy life. In Central China, if a baby is born, his father will send Red Boiled Egg to announce the news. An even number, usually six or eight, of Red Boiled Egg with a black point dotted on one end will be delivered for a boy, and an odd number, usually five or seven without black point for a girl. Fish is always served to symbolize prosperity and wealth accumulation in the New Years Eve. Chinese simply choose chopsticks as their tableware rather than knife and fork since Chinese people, under cultivation of Confucianism, consider knife and fork bearing sort of violence, like cold weapons. However, chopsticks reflect gentleness and benevolence, the main moral teaching of Confucianism. There are superstitions associated with chopsticks too. If you find an uneven pair at your table setting, it means you are going to miss a boat, plane or train. Dropping chopsticks will inevitably bring bad luck. Crossed chopsticks are, however, permissible in a dim sum restaurant. The waiter will cross them to show that your bill has been settled, or you can do the same to show the waiter that you have finished and are ready to pay the bill. IV. Some expressions related to food:好吃不过饺子。食色，性也。民以食为天。原汤化原食。Unit Two Attitudes Towards TimeTeaching aims:To know Chinese concept of time;To master the difference between Chinese and westerners attitudes towards time;To acquire a good habit of being punctual;To improve reading comprehension skillsTeaching important points:To analyze the structure of the passageTeaching difficult points:To summarize the main idea of each partTeaching proceduresI. Warm-up activitiesWhat is your attitude toward punctuality? Our reaction to punctuality is rooted in our cultural experiences. In China, the one in superior position has the prerogative to be late. The boss can arrive late for a meeting without anyone raising an eyebrow; if the secretary is late, he or she may receive a reprimand in the form of a stern glance. A popular star of a doctor can keep people waiting for long periods of time, but the warm-up band and the nurse had better be on time. In Latin America, one is expected to arrive late to appointments as a sign of respect. This same tardiness would be perceived as rudeness in Germany, which is a nation famous for strictness about time. Most Chinese people consider it polite to attend a banquet ahead of the schedule, while the English-speaking countries regard it impolite to interfere with privacy, so we had better not go to the banquet too early and, of course, not too late.II. Text analysis:2.1 Comprehension questions:(1) Why does the author call TIME a mystery? Though we can measure some parts of time so as to know its passing, we still cannot touch, hear and see it.(2) Whats the relationship between time and change? Time and change are tightly linked. When something changes, we know time has passed.(3) What would most possibly be the first change human found? The possible first change human found may be the difference between light and darkness. The sun rises, producing light, and it sinks, causing darkness.(4) How was a day marked? People marked a period of the light and darkness with the appearance and disappearance of the sun, and named it one day.(5) How was a year marked? People marked the position of the sun when it returned to the same point, usually the highest one in summer, and they counted 365 days. This period was named one year.(6) How was a month marked? First people found the face of the moon was changing. When full, the moon was bright and round. It took about 29 days - the appearances of the sun for 29 times, for the moon to return to be full again. So they called it one month.(7) Why(How)were calendars developed? Because people had to plant and harvest crops according to the change of the weather, they developed calendars.(8) How does the sundial work? Whats its drawback? A sundial measures the movement of the sun across the sky each day. The stick, blocking sunlight, creates a shadow. As the sun moves, so does the shadow of the stick across the flat surface. In this way, people marked time. The sundial only works when the sun is shining.(9) What is universal time? How did it come into being? Universal time means that the common time used in all parts of the world. People divided the whole world into 24 time zones, each representing one hour, with Greenwich, England as the starting point. The reason why it came into being is mainly to satisfy the need of international communications and travel.2.2 Organizational structure of the text: First the author takes his point that time is a mystery because he thinks people can only measure a small part of time, but not know what it really is. Then he goes on with humans measurement of time through the relationship between time and change in different ways. The first one is how they marked a day. Then came the way they marked a year. And next is how they marked a month. Finally they created calendars, showing different seasons. The author continues to introduce the methods people adopted to measure time. First they used the traditional sundial, and then hourglass. Finally, modern mechanical clocks and watches, even electronic ones were developed. Then the scope the author discussed is broader, to universal time. However, whether time is moving forward or backward is still in debate. So the author returns to his point-time is a mystery.III. Post-reading discussionDifferent concepts of time in different cultures:1. circular and linear concept of time Hall has classified two kinds of people according to his observation. One is monochromic time and the other is polychromic time. The members of cultures from USA, north and west Europe holding monochromic time assume time is linear and can be cut, so they pay much more attention to timetables and pre-arrangements. While the people from Latin America and Middle East insists on polychromic time, which is to cope with several things at the same period of time, not emphasizing on the timetable.2. past and future time orientation To compare the concept of time, we could find that USA belongs to a future-oriented culture country, which welcomes innovation and changes and has less regard for past social or organizational customs and traditions. Most Americans put great faith in the future. Americans are constantly planning for the future, and what they are doing now is to prepare themselves for the wonderful future life. Many of them can hardly wait to finish what they are doing so that they can move on to something else. Whereas China is classified as a past-oriented culture country, which places much emphasis on tradition and is often perceived as resisting change to some extent. China, with our tradition of ancestor worship and strong pride in thousands years of our cultural heritage, belongs to a culture that uses the past as a guide to how to live in the present. As a Chinese proverb advises, “Consider the past and you will know the present.” Like the Greek, Japanese, French, we have historical origins dated back to several thousand years, so it is normal to take a long-range view of events and less likely to be rushed when we face decisions. Probing into the various concept of time in different cultures, we could get a general idea about the different perspectives on time and, more deeply, the different cultures implied in it. Realizing the differences, we should adapt ourselves to the strategy of localization in doing business with the member from a fixed culture, in order to avoid misunderstandings, tensions or even cultural shock.IV. Some Chinese expressions about time.一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。一年之计在于春，一日之计在于晨。少小离家老大回，乡音未改鬓毛催。时不我待，每个人都应该把握时机。Unit Three Emotional HealthTeaching aims:To widen knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine;To learn about the difference between TCM and western medicine;To improve reading comprehension skills;To enhance the awareness of keeping fitTeaching important points:To know more about Traditional Chinese Medicine: theory and practiceTeaching difficult points:The theory of Traditional Chinese MedicineTeaching proceduresI. Warm-up activities(1) What do you know about Traditional Chinese Medicine? Traditional Chinese medicine is a broad range of medicine practices sharing common concepts which have been developed in China and are based on a tradition of more than 2000 years, including various forms of herbal medicine, acupuncture,massage (Tui na),exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy. It is primarily used as a complementaryalternative medicineapproach.TCM is widely used in China and it is also used in the West. The TCM approach treats zang-fu organs as the core of the human body. Tissue and organs are connected through a network of channels and blood vessels inside human body. Qi (or Chi) acts as some kind of carrier of information that is expressed externally through jingluo system. Pathologically, a dysfunction of the zang-fu organs may be reflected on the body surface through the network, and meanwhile, diseases of body surface tissues may also affect their related zang or fu organs. Affected zang or fu organs may also influence each other through internal connections. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment starts with the analysis of the entire system, then focuses on the correction of pathological changes through readjusting the functions of the zang-fu organs. Evaluation of a syndrome not only includes the cause, mechanism, location, and nature of the disease, but also the confrontation between the pathogenic factor and body resistance. Treatment is not based only on the symptoms, but differentiation of syndromes. Therefore, those with an identical disease may be treated in different ways, and on the other hand, different diseases may result in the same syndrome and are treated in similar ways. The clinical diagnosis and treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine are mainly based on theyin-yangandfive elementstheories. These theories apply the phenomena and laws of nature to the study of the physiological activities and pathological changes of the human body and its interrelationships. The typical T
