Unit 2 Part 1 Language Skills Development 1. Starter A. Look at the following pictures. Think over these questions. 1. What ways of getting rich do these pictures suggest? Reference answer：The four pictures represent four different ways of getting rich. The first picture suggests that one can get rich quick by buying stocks. The second picture shows that people can become rich through inheritance of fortunes, either of their own parents, or of some wealthy persons. The third picture indicates that marriage could be a passport to the kingdom of wealth. That is to say, a man or a woman could be a rich person if his or her spouse is rich. The fourth picture tells people that lotteries make millionaires. 2. Which do you think is the quickest way to get rich? Reference answer：All these four methods of getting rich quick could turn a penniless guy into a millionaire overnight, but it seems to me that winning a lottery is the quickest way of making people rich. Just pay a dollar or two and you could become a rich person overnight! But on the other hand, such an opportunity is very rare. B. Listen to the story Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves (Part 1) and answer the following questions. 1. What were the magic words used to open and close the cave? They were "Open, Sesame!" and "Shut, Sesame!". 2. What did Ali Baba find in the cave? He found rich silks and carpets, gold and silver ware, and great bags of gold. 3. What did Ali Baba take from the cave? Many of the bags of gold. Tapescript: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves In a town in Persia there lived a poor woodcutter named Ali Baba. One day, Ali Baba was working deep in the forest. Suddenly he heard the noise of many horses. He tied up his two mules behind some high rocks. Then he climbed into a tall tree to hide. From up high in the tree, Ali Baba saw forty men on forty horses. Each man wore a saber and a dagger in his belt. They looked very fierce. Ali Baba could see at once that they were thieves. The forty thieves dismounted in front of a huge rock, and one, who seemed to be captain, said, "Open, Sesame!" And a door flew open in the rock. Then they all went inside and the door closed behind them. Ali Baba could hardly believe what he had seen! He did not dare to climb down from his tree—the thieves might come out at any moment and find him. He waited a long time. At last the door opened, and the forty thieves came out. Their captain said, "Shut, Sesame!" The door closed, and the forty thieves rode away.

The door at once opened, and Ali Baba stepped inside. He found himself in a large cave, lighted from a hole in the top, and full of all kinds of treasure—rich silks and carpets, gold and silver ware, and great bags of gold. He loaded his two mules with as many of the bags of gold as they could carry, and, after closing the door by saying, "Shut, Sesame!" made his way home. 2. Text Info Box 1.

The Egyptian Pyramid The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry (磚石結(jié)構(gòu)) structures located in Egypt. There are over 100 pyramids in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the countrys Pharaohs (the rulers who were the religious and political leaders of ancient Egypt) and their consorts (配偶) during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods. The best known Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built. The shape of Egyptian pyramids is thought to represent the primordial (原始的) mound from which the Egyptians believed the earth was created. The shape is also thought to be representative of the descending rays of the sun, and most pyramids were faced with polished, highly reflective white limestone (石灰石), in order to give them a brilliant appearance when viewed from a distance. The Egyptians believed the dark area of the night sky around which the stars appear to revolve was the physical gateway into the heaven. One of the narrow shafts that extend from the main burial chamber through the entire body of the Great Pyramid points directly towards the center of this part of the sky. This suggests the pyramid may have been designed to serve as a means to magically launch the deceased Pharaohs soul directly into the abode (住所) of the gods. All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology. 3. Egypt and Asyut Egypt is a country mainly in North Africa, covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers. Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the worlds most famous monuments, including the pyramid complex and the Great Sphinx (獅身人面像). Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East. Asyut is the capital of the modern Asyut Governorate, Egypt. The city of Asyut has almost 400,000 inhabitants. It is home to the University of Asyut, one of the largest universities in Egypt. Every Orifice Needs a Stone by Mark Edgemon 每個(gè)小孔都需要一顆寶石 1 Getting rich quick is nice if you can do it, but the phrase usually implies acquiring great sums of wealth with very little effort. If that is the method of study, I wouldnt hold your breath. 2 However, if that werent a popular notion, millions of dollars wouldnt roll in every time there was a lottery somewhere. 3 An Egyptian archeological exhibit was touring through town with many interesting artifacts for the public to see. One in particular, was an ancient document believed to uncover a mysterious formula for acquiring wealth. 4 Having read about this ancient document in the early edition of the local newspaper, John Holiday borrowed his neighbors camera for the purpose of taking a snapshot of the document, so he could study it later. 5 After getting a very clear image of the document, he went to the library and started reading books on ancient languages that are now dead. Strangely enough, John had a hidden talent for languages. He never developed this or any other talent, because he was lazy. He would always look for the easy way to do everything he had to do in life. However in this case, a shot at sudden wealth was too much of an incentive for him to pass up. 6 In a few hours, he figured out the code of the language and began to decipher the ancient text. It told of a statue, thousands of years old, in the central part of Egypt, hidden in a cave miles from a large pyramid. The text stated that the statue had eight orifices and that the seeker of wealth must place precious gems in each of the holes in the statue. The gems had to be cut in a special way and inserted in a specific manner. 7 A clear diamond was to be inserted into the mouth of the statue, a deep blue sapphire into the right eye socket, a bright red ruby into the left eye socket, a white pearl into the left ear, a rare pink topaz into the right ear, a black onyx into the left nostril, a green emerald into the right nostril, and a purple amethyst into the navel. 8 The meaning was unclear why this was to be done, but John just wanted to become wealthy, so he didnt care. After extensive research, John determined it would cost approximately 1.2 million dollars to acquire the gems and passage to Egypt. It took him five years to diligently create a business and generate that large sum of money. 9 Once he had the funds, he purchased the gems and a ticket to the ancient city of Asyut. Once there, he spent months locating the pyramid and the cave that the Egyptian document had alluded to. Once in the cave, it only took a few minutes to locate the statue that the ancient manuscript had described. 10 He wasted no time inserting the precious stones into each hole of the statue. Right before his eyes, the eight gems turned to stone, filling the holes, leaving no trace where the holes used to be. 11 With great disbelief, he stared at his investment of valuable gems, now turned to stones, and wondered what it all meant. Just then, at the foot of the statue, he noticed an inscription, which he could now decipher, which read, "Any fool can create wealth, but only the wise know what to do with it." 12 Was that it? John was terribly disappointed and felt he had been on a fools errand for the last five years. He returned home and resumed his business, where he continued to expand the company he founded, originally for the purpose of buying the jewels for the statue. 13 One night, as he sat in his new apartment in the affluent side of town, he took a look once again at the photograph of the ancient document that had started his quest for wealth and noticed, for the first time, an inscription at the bottom that he needed a magnifying glass to read. The inscription read, "If one achieves this quest, they will have transformed their mind by the use of their faith and will from then on have the power to overcome in all things and nothing will be impossible to them." 14 As John looked around his luxury apartment and remembered once having trouble paying his rent just five short years earlier, he realized that the 1.2 million dollars he shelled out that started this adventure was a really great investment! 1 一夜暴富當(dāng)然不錯(cuò)。但這常常意味著大量財(cái)富唾手可得。如果想以此致富的話，我認(rèn)為希望渺茫。 2 然而，這種想法非常普遍，否則每次彩票抽獎也就不會有數(shù)以百萬計(jì)的美元滾滾而來。 3 城里正在巡展古埃及文物，許多有趣的手工藝品讓公眾大飽眼福。尤其是其中一份古埃及文獻(xiàn)，被認(rèn)為揭示了獲取財(cái)富的神秘方法。 4 在當(dāng)?shù)氐脑鐖?bào)上讀到這則新聞之后，約翰霍利戴便從鄰居家借來了相機(jī)，以便拍下這份文獻(xiàn)，供日后研究。 5 拍了一張十分清晰的文獻(xiàn)照片之后，他便前往圖書館，開始閱讀有關(guān)現(xiàn)已消亡的古代語言的書籍。奇怪的是，約翰居然在語言上有潛在的天賦。他從來沒有開發(fā)過自己的語言或者其他的天賦，因?yàn)樗軕卸?，不管什么事都喜歡走捷徑。但是，一夜暴富對他來說極具誘惑，是一次不能放過的機(jī)會。 6 他花了幾小時(shí)就弄清楚了這種語言代碼，并開始解讀這份古文獻(xiàn)。這份文獻(xiàn)說，埃及中部有一座上千年的雕像，藏在距一座大金字塔幾英里的洞穴中，還說這座雕像身上有8個(gè)小孔，尋寶者必須把珍貴寶石放進(jìn)每個(gè)小孔中，這些寶石還必須按照特別的方式切割，然后以特定的方式嵌入. 7 雕像的嘴里要塞入一塊透明的鉆石，右眼眶要填進(jìn)一塊深藍(lán)色的藍(lán)寶石，左眼眶要放入一塊明亮的紅寶石，左耳要塞入一顆潔白的珍珠，右耳要放入一顆珍稀的粉色黃寶石，左邊的鼻孔要塞進(jìn)一塊黑瑪瑙，右邊的鼻孔要填入一粒祖母綠，雕像的肚臍要塞入一顆紫水晶。 8 文獻(xiàn)沒說為什么要這樣做，但是約翰一心想發(fā)財(cái)，并不在意。經(jīng)過廣泛的研究，約翰計(jì)算出買這些寶石加上去埃及的路費(fèi)大約要花費(fèi)120萬美元。為此，他花了五年時(shí)間，努力工作，并開辦了一家公司，終于賺足了這么一大筆錢。 9 一有了這筆錢，約翰立刻購買了寶石和去埃及古城艾斯尤特的票。到了那里，他花了好幾個(gè)月才找到那份古埃及手寫本中暗示的金字塔和山洞。進(jìn)入山洞后，他只用幾分鐘便找到了那座古代手寫本里描繪的雕像。 10 他迫不及待地把這些寶石塞進(jìn)雕像的每個(gè)孔中。但是，就在他眼皮底下，八顆寶石變成了石頭，填滿了原來的小孔，小孔在一瞬間消失，一絲痕跡都沒留下。 11 約翰眼睜睜地看著自己投資買來的寶石變成了石頭，他難以置信，百思不得其解。就在這時(shí)，他注意到了雕像底座的一行銘文——他現(xiàn)在能讀懂了，上面寫著：愚者亦能創(chuàng)造財(cái)富，但唯智者知曉用財(cái)之道。 12 難道就是這樣嗎！約翰感到五年辛苦，白忙一場，失望至極。于是，他回到家中，重整舊業(yè)，開始拓展自己當(dāng)初為了購買雕像所需的寶石而創(chuàng)建的公司。 13 一天晚上，他坐在城里富人區(qū)的新公寓里，再次看了看那張讓他開始尋寶歷程的古文獻(xiàn)照片，他第一次發(fā)現(xiàn)文獻(xiàn)最下端有一行要用放大鏡才能看清的文字。這些文字是：凡歷此功成者，必脫胎換骨，身心俱新，無堅(jiān)不摧，無所不能。 14 約翰環(huán)顧著奢華的公寓，回憶起就在短短五年前他連房租都付不起的情景。他終于意識到，當(dāng)初為了探險(xiǎn)而付出的那120萬美元，真是一筆值得的投資！ New Words orifice n.[C] a hole or opening, esp. one in the body （尤指身體上的）孔、穴、腔 lottery n.1) [C] （用發(fā)行彩票為政府、慈善機(jī)構(gòu)等集資的）抽彩給獎法 France reinstituted its national lottery in 1933. 法國于1933年重新發(fā)行了國家彩票。 n.2) [sing.] (often disapproving) a situation whose success or result is based on luck rather than on effort or careful organization 碰運(yùn)氣的事 Some people think that marriage is a lottery. 有些人認(rèn)為婚姻靠的是運(yùn)氣。 archeological a. of or relating to archeology 考古學(xué)的 artifact n.[C] an object that is made by a person, esp. something of historical or cultural interest（尤指有歷史或文化價(jià)值的）人工制品，手工藝品 mysterious a. 1) difficult or impossible to understand, explain or identify 神秘的；不可思議的，難以理解的，無法解釋的 a. 2) (of people) not saying much about sth., esp. when other people want to know more 詭秘的，故弄玄虛的 formula n.1) [C] a particular method of doing or achieving sth. 方法,方案 n.2) [C] a series of letters, numbers or symbols that represent a rule or law 公式，方程式，計(jì)算式 n.3) [C] a list of things that sth. is made from, giving the amount of each substance to use 配方，處方，藥方 snapshot n.1) [C] a photograph, esp. one taken quickly（尤指搶拍的）照片 This snapshot hasnt been printed very well. 這張快照沒沖洗好。 n.2) [C, usu. sing.] a short description or a small amount of information that gives you an idea of what sth. is like 簡介，簡要說明 The letters give us a snapshot of his life abroad. 這些信件使我們對他在海外的生活略有了解。 incentive n.[C, U] something that encourages you to do sth. 激勵(lì)，刺激，鼓勵(lì) Some companies offer training as an incentive. 有些公司把提供培訓(xùn)機(jī)會作為一種激勵(lì)。 He hasnt much incentive to work hard. 他缺乏努力工作的動力。 decipher vt.to succeed in finding the meaning of sth. that is difficult to read or understand 破譯；辨認(rèn) Human genome project is expected to decipher the genetic codes in the human cells. 人們希望人類基因組計(jì)劃能破解人類細(xì)胞中所隱含的遺傳密碼。 Can you decipher this letter?
