than others.S3:I think success means a lot of money.T:Very good.According to your different opinions,do you think the people on the screen are all successful?(Teacher shows the pictures on the screen.)T:Just now,you told me that to go to university is the only key to be successful for you.The passage well read today is also about success.Maybe youll have a change in the attitude towards success after reading it.Now lets learn the new words for the passage.(Teacher and students learn the new words together.)T:Lets begin reading.OK?Ss:OK.T:While you are reading,try to get more information about the passage.After a while,Ill ask you some questions.(Give the students enough time to read and after a while ask the students some qeustions about the passage.)T:Now do you know what the text is about?Ss:Yes.T:Who can explain it to us?S6:The passage tells us that to go to university is not the only ticket to success.Instead,we should choose the job that makes the most of our special talents and interests.T:Well done.After reading Li Yonghongs story,do you still believe to go to university is the only key to success?Ss:No.We dont think so any more.T:The passage tells us that Li Yonghong made two important decisions in her life.Do you know what they are?Those who are in favour of this answer hand up,please!S7:After finishing high school,she decided to take a one-year training course to become a hairdresser instead of selling cigarettes.This is her first important decision.The second important decision for her is that she decided on a practical course to learn how to do make-up.T:Nowadays people like Li Yonghong are very much in demand.Do you know why?S8:Because she is an experienced hairdreser and knows how to do commercial make-up for brides and bridegrooms.T:The passage tells us Li Yonghong has the ambition to become a manager.In fact,not only may Li Yonghong have the ambition,but most of us have the same ambition.Yes?Ss:Yes.T:There are two ways open to high school students to reach that position in the passage.Are you clear about them?Ss:Yes.T:Whod like to tell us?S9:The two ways are going to university and finding ways through hands-on experience.T:Do you know which way Li Yonghong has chosen?S10:The passage tells us Li Yonghong has chosen the second way.T:Now,lets come to the last question.Which two personality types does the author distinguish in the passage?S11:One is the type of people for whom the mental and intellectual type is strongest,and the other is the type of people whose learning is to try,experiment and find their way through handson experience.T:Very good.I quite agree with you.Next,to help you understand the passage better,Ill explain some important phrases mentioned in the passage to you.Look at the blackboard,please.(Teacher writes the phrases on the blackboard and explains them.)1.have something in mind (be considering somebody/something as suitable for something.)e.g.Who do you have in mind for the job?2.be in demand (much wanted)e.g.She is in great demand as a singer.Good secretaries are always in demand.3.live up to (behave in accordance with something)e.g.He failed to live up to his parents expectation.4.make the most of somebody/something(profit as much as one can from something)e.g.She really tries to make the most of herself.T:The phrases are of great importance.Try to keep them in mind.OK?Ss:OK.Step ConsolidationT:The passage is well written.It is well worth reading a second time.Please read the passage again and find the words from the passage that fit the discriptions

achievements2. _ make progress easier for somebody3. _ joining or mixing together of two or more things or people4. _ practical5. _painful feeling caused by wrong behaviourSuggested answers:1.bination4.hands-on5.shameStep WritingT:Another important task for us to accomplish today is to write a letter to Li Yonghong.Imagine that you are one of her former classmates and have heard about her career.You decide to write her a letter.In your letter you want to tell her what you think about her career and the dicisions she made in her life.You may mention:What you think about her decisionsHow you feel about the fact that she declined her parents offerWhether you think she should have tried to go to universityHow you feel about the way she managed her financesWhether you think she took any risks(Allow the students enough time to prepare and then the teacher checks their writings.)Sample writing:Dear Yonghong:How is everything going?Im your former classmate,and I hope you
