following questions:-Which first sentence switches from past tense to past perfect tense?(the first sentence of Para 3)(T may as well as tell Ss this:a story is usually narrated in the simple past tense.When a past event is recalled,the past perfect tense will be used as a signal.Afterwards the flashback is also narrated in the simple pasttense.)-Which first sentence shows that the flashback is

Michael blindness until the last sentence?4)Finding out details4)Finding out detailsi.T introduces the activity by saying:A child usually inherits characteristics from both his/her mother andfather.So does Michael Stone.Michaels mother is romantic and passionate,while his father is a hard-corerealist.Work with a partner;find out those details about Michael Stone that shows him to be his mothers boyor his fathers son.ii.Some pairs report to the class their findings.iii.T asks Ss this question:Dreaming and hard work,which is more important to Michaels success?Why?5)Text analysis5)Text analysisThose who have read this story will probably agree that its most striking feature is the closing line.As we read on,our admiration for Michael is building up until we believe that,when Michael broke both nationaland international records,we have reached the climax.However,the real climax is in the last sentence.Whenwe find that out,what a great impact it has on us.The text plays on words on more than one occasion.The text title,True Height,itself has more than onemeaning.We may understand it as the new bar heights that Michael cleared one after another,or we may view itas the tremendous obstacles Michael had overcome in attaining his goal.As mentioned in theSuggested TeachingSuggested Teachingplan,plan,the word“hot”in the first paragraph also plays on two different meanings,one literal,the otherfigurative.5.5.教学方式及在教学中应注意的问题：教学方式及在教学中应注意的问题：A combination of traditional teaching methods with the communicative approach will be adopted.Special attentionshould be paid to

subject-plays an important role in a personal description,asin the two texts weve just studied the authors voices can be heard now and then,directly and indirectly.Opening/Closing DeviceOpening/Closing DeviceTo arouse the readers interest or achieve better results,the writer usually designs the opening and closingparagraphs skillfully.As we can see,in Text A the writer keeps
