高二英语导学案 Unit 2 The universal language Welcome to the unit一、 话题背景导读 （正确用“T”错误用“F”） Music is part of every culture on Earth. Many people feel that music makes life worth living. We can make music ourselves if we play an instrument or sing. We can hear music on CDs and on radio or television. Music gives us pleasure. It can cheer us up, excite us, or soothe us. WHAT IS MUSIC? Music can be happy, sad, romantic, sleepy, spine-tingling, healingall kinds of things. But what is it? Some people define it as an artful arrangement of sounds across time. Our ears interpret these sounds as loud or soft, high or low, rapid and short, or slow and smooth. The sounds need to continue for a time in some sort of pattern to become music. Music, like language, is a uniquely human form of communication. As with language, there are many different kinds. In North America, people listen to jazz, rock, classical, folk, country, and many other kinds of music. Each kind of music has its own rules and “speaks” to us in its own way. What we think of as music depends on where we live. What Americans are used to listening to might sound strange to someone from another culture, and vice versa. It might not even sound like music. In Indonesia, gamelan orchestras play music on gongs, drums, and xylophones. These arent the instruments youd find in a typical orchestra in North America. Today, modern communications make it possible for us to listen to music from all over the world. Music from one part of the world influences music from another part. For example, gamelan music from Indonesia influenced 20th-century American composers such as John Cage. WHO INVENTED MUSIC? No one knows for sure when music began. Perhaps while people were working, they began to chant or sing to make the work go faster. People who were repeating movementspicking crops or rowing boats, for examplecould sing or chant in time to the work. Navajo Indians, for example, had corn-grinding songs. Many cultures developed work songs. Over time, people developed musical instruments. They might have started by clapping their hands and stamping their feet. Sticks and objects that rattled could have replaced the human body as early instruments. Both instruments and music became more complex with time. Today, many cultures divide music into art music and music of the people. Art music, which we call classical music, is more complicated than the music of the peoplefolk music and popular music. Art music is generally harder to write and perform. Musicians who perform it need a lot of training. Popular and folk styles typically are easier to create, perform, and understand. 1.

But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance (坚定). South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies (体现) those virtues. Du Toit, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics (残奥会) in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the able-bodied Games, she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far. One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17. There are a lot of dark moments, du Toit said. There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on. Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool. She still competes and still succeeds. The only difference is she has switched to longer events 一from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle - to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook (精神面貌). Going out in the water, it feels as if theres nothing wrong with me. It doesnt matter if you look different. Youre still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream. She is the owner of m
