4).Background Information A).Stevie Wonder (1950- )

Pop star Stevie Wonder, who was born blind, has been a recording artist since the age of ten.His music and songs reflect his ability to draw on diverse themes and a rich variety of musical ideas and techniques.His biggest hits include “Ebony & Ivory” (1982) and “I Just Call to Say I Love You” (1984), which won an Academy Award as best original song.B).rock and roll, rap music, or pop music, country music

Rock and roll is a type of popular music, marked by a steady beat and a strong rhythm, which is often played at high volume.Rock music combines elements of blues, country and gospel and its popularity can be traced to the mid-1950s when Elvis Presley was its most succeful performer.By the early 1960s, rock and roll, which often expreed a rebellious attitude towards society, became the most popular form of music for teenagers and such British groups as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were influential performers.Since the 1960s, rock and roll has gained worldwide popularity not only among teens, but also among persons of college age and older.2.Text Organization

Part I.(para.1-7) Stevie Wonder was born in a poor black family.Being blind and black and poor, his mother worried a lot for him, while he did not at all.He lived in his music world. Part II.(para.8-14) His talents was recognized and won fame. Part III.(para.15-18) A car accident changed his life.After he fought back from death, he cared more about the outside world.3.Skill learning in writing and reading 1) Skill learning in writing

A)This is a narration.This is a biography, including the basic informations of character, such as

birth, family, childhood and habit, characteristic and achievement etc..In this article, the author arranged it according to time.

B) symbol

shadow: blindne, poverty, unfortunate

sunshine: joyful music, love, happy

C) alliteration

It refers to the appearance of the same initial consonant sound in two or more words, such

as “proud as a peacock” and “blind as a bat”.Alliteration is often used in poetry to give emphasis to words that are related in meaning.Alliteration is sometimes used in prose for the same effect---to join two or more related words.

blind and black

faith and fame

2) Skill learning in reading

Good writers do not simply tell you what they mean.Once they introduce a main idea (discued in Unit Two), they will then support it with examples, facts and statistic reasons and experiences of their own or of others.All of these are known as supporting details.Without them, a writer\'s ideas would remain abstract, vague, and therefore unconvincing.The ability to identify the supporting details a writer provides and to evaluate how convincing they are ---is another important reading comprehension skill.

Text B We Are What We Think We Are 1.Text-related Information 1)self-image

The term self-image refers to the various beliefs individuals have about what they are like, such as how clever they believe themselves to be, or how they think these appear in the eyes of others.Individuals differ in how realistic they are in their aements of self.

2) A bull’s eye is an eye of a bull, about the same size as the small black spot at the center of a target, which was perhaps so named for its resemblance to an eye of a bull.But it is poible that a bull’s-eye takes its name from a British coin called the bull’s-eye, which was worth a crown, or five shillings.The coin was so named poibly because the one-crown piece was often bet on the outcome of a bull contest; when one put money “on the bull’s eye” one was betting on the bull. 2.Language Points

1).We are what we think ourselves to be

Paraphrase---we are the kind of people that we believe ourselves to be.

...our pictures of who we are ... ...impreions of who we think we are. ...the student became what he thought he was.

The use of what and who in such sentences may have different implications: what usually implies a person’s job or position while who, his/her name or relationship with someone else. 2).accept as true the wrong images of self.Para.2

Paraphrase-----accept the wrong images of self as being true and accurate.3) The aim is to dind the \"real\" self, to bring our mental images of ourselves in line with our true potential.Para.4

in line with

---remaining or changing at the same rate or in proportion to sth.or sb.

Translate The salaries of temporary employees ought to be in line with those of permanent staff.

Key: 临时工应与正式员工一样同工同酬。

4) However, it is generally accepted among psychologists that most of us fail to do justice to ourselves.Para.4

do justice to oneself— to treat/show oneself in the best poible way

e.g.

The photograph does not do full justice to the rich colours of the garden. Since we’d already eaten, we couldn’t do justice to her cooking.

5) But when they have taught us what we did wrong, we should forget them and not dwell on them.Para 6

dwell on/upon—to deal with it for a lot of time; to think, talk or write about it a great deal

Translate In his speech, he dwelt on the problem of the sick and hungry.

Key: 他在发言时始终在谈那些生病和挨饿的人群的问题。
