he also published texts in which he thought about possible conceptions [k n'sep nz] (理解)of society, and he discussed questions of ethics ['eθ ks](道德准则;伦理标准) in his essays.

(Adapted from “Of Friendship”, an essay written by Francis Bacon, a great English writer, scientist and philosopher)

What are the three “fruits” of friendship
Why are they important
Tip
Writing a summary
To write a good summary of a text, you should:
circle the main points and key ideas in a text;
express these ideas in your own words;
not include supporting details or background knowledge;
not include your personal opinion.
Possible answer
Friendship is very important to us. It leads to self-improvement and helps us better walk the “path of life”. Friendship has three “fruits”. First, we feel more comfortable when we share our feelings with our true friends, as they will understand us and allow us to express ourselves.
Second, friends can help us think more clearly and offer solutions to problems. Third, friends are willing to support us to achieve our goals. However, we should carefully choose friends and develop friendships.
Discuss the following question in groups to understand the literature [ l tr t (r)] value of this essay.
As is known to all, this essay was finished more than 400 years ago. Why do we still need to read it nowadays
The theme of the essay is “friendship”, which is a permanent [ p m n nt](永恒的) topic in human civilization. Bacon put forward some brilliant [ br li nt](绝妙的;巧妙的;使人印象深的) ideas about friendship, which are still helpful for us to make reflections on life and friendship in the modern world.
Appreciate the following sentences and discuss their meanings.In this essay, many sentences are rich in philosophical [ f l s f kl] significance [s ɡ n f k ns] . Below are some of them. How to comprehend and appreciate these sentences Explain them by giving specific [sp s f k]
examples.
(1) More often than not, close friendships will help smooth out the sometimes rocky road that we are all meant to travel. (page 39, lines 5-6)
The writer compares “the life journey” to “a rocky road”, which means in our life there can be some challenges and difficulties ahead.
If we have close friends whom we can turn to, they can help us solve these problems and support us to go forward bravely. For example, when we have trouble in dealing with parents and don’t know how to communicate with them, we can share our feelings with our close friends and ask them for advice.
(2) Here, friendship has a double advantage----happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! (page 39, lines 13-15)
When we are with our close friends, we share happiness and sorrow together. One’s happiness will bring enjoyment and joyfulness to his or her friend too.
△ However, when meeting with trouble, we comfort, help and support each other, thus handling the problem together. For example, if we have some challenging tasks to fulfil [f l f l] but don't know what to do, close friends can offer us useful advice and suggestions, which can help us complete our challenging tasks successfully.
B. How do you know when to be independent and when to ask for the help of friends Explain and support your opinion. P40
We should try to deal with a problem on our own(独立地) first before we turn to our friends for guidance [ ɡa dns](指导;引导;咨询).
Independent thinking gives us the freedom to search inside ourselves. (独立思考给了我们探索自我的自由) We can share our thoughts with our friends and benefit from their opinions, but we alone are responsible for our decisions.(共63张PPT)

◆教学目标
By the end of this section, we will be able to:
1. understand the meaning of restrictive [r str kt v] relative [ rel t v] clauses with relative pronouns;
2. summarize the general rules of restrictive relative clauses with relative pronouns;
3. use restrictive relative clauses with relative pronouns to describe [d skra b] their friends appropriately [ pr pri tli].
A. Exploring the rules P34
Below is a magazine article on friendship in the modern age. Find the sentences with restrictive relative clauses in the article and fill in the box below. The first one has been done for you.
△A real friend is someone who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.(真正的朋友会在整个世界都离你远去的时候,仍然与你在一起) A real friend is someone whose support we can count on. A real friend is someone who sees our true self, not just the face that we show to the world.
walk out (on sb)(informal) 遗弃,抛弃,舍弃,离开(某人),=desert
How could she walk out on her kids
她怎么能遗弃自己的孩子呢?

[+ -ing 短语]
Few people can count on having a job for life.几乎没有人能指望一辈子都干一个工作。

self(指一个人)自己,本人
You didn't hurt your little self, did you
小家伙,你没伤着自己吧?

Yet these days, the modern tools that keep us connected are eating away at the meaning of friendship. (然而如今,使我们保持联系的现代工具正在侵蚀友谊的真义) We may be able to make many friends online, but these friendships can be quite shallow. Social media like blogs has come between us and the friends whom we love.(博客等社交媒体损害了我们和我们所爱的朋友之间的关系)
yet :despite what has just been said 但是;然而, =nevertheless, conj.
It's a small car, yet it's surprisingly spacious [ spe s] .
这辆汽车不大,然而却出奇地宽敞。

eat away at “侵蚀,腐蚀,逐渐破坏”。如:

无论他怎么努力,父母都对他不满意,这使他逐渐丧失自信。

绝不要让任何事情妨碍你的工作。

△Texting and messaging cannot take the place of face-to-face chatting. “Sharing” our experiences on social media is not enough to express the values which matter most to us. “Liking” our friends’ photos online does not develop the connection which we share.在社交媒体上“分享”我们的经历,不足以表达对我们最重要的价值观。 在网上“点赞”朋友的照片并不能增进我们之间的联系。

We use (1)_______ for things, and (2)_____ and whom for people.
which
who
We can use (3)_____ for both things and people.
We use (4)_______ to show possession.
that
whose
由关系代词引导的
限制性定语从句 P98-99

如: Do you know the man who is waiting outside
He showed me the photos which he took on his trip to Xian。
2.定语从句可由关系代词( relative pronouns) that, which, who,whom, whose引导。如:
The trees which are behind the office building have lost their leaves.
Simon [ sa m n] is the poor man whose car has been stolen.
3.关系代词在定语从句中通常作主语或宾语,宾语时常可以省略。如:
The boy who is running on the playground is the best runner in our school. (who作主语,不可省略)
The subject (which) I like best is English. (which作宾语,可省略)
4.关系代词 who whom which that, whose的主要用法如下:
(1)who引导的定语从句修饰人,who在从句中作主语或宾语;whom引导的定语从句修饰人,whom在从句中作宾语;who和whom都可以由that代替。如:
They are looking for people _________ want to join the Reading Club.
who/that
The girl _________________ you saw in the park is my cousin.
(2) which引导的定语从句修饰物, which在从句中作主语或宾语,可以由that代替,作宾语时可省略。如:
This is the book ____________ I want to read.
(who/whom/that)
(which/that)
(3) whose引导的定语从句,既可修饰人,也可饰物, whose在从句中作定语。如:

Dear Diary,
Tim and I talked a lot about his problems today, and I’m so glad that I could help my best friend. It also left me thinking about what it really means to be a “good friend”.
leave使保留,让…处于(某种状态、某地等)
[动词 + 名词短语 + 形容词]
Leave the door open, please.
请把门开着吧。
[动词 + 名词短语 + -ing短语]

别让她在外边雨里等着。
[动词 + 名词短语 + 带to的不定式]
Leave the rice to cook for 20 minutes.
把大米煮20分钟。
In my opinion, the following qualities form the basis of a friendship.
A good friend needs to be supportive (热心援助的). I can see that Tim is having trouble balancing his project and his schoolwork, and I can see that both are important to him. I must respect and support the choices he makes. I should also encourage him to take action to get over these difficulties.
A good friend also needs to be selfless. Tim is someone whom I should try my best to help, even if it means more work for me. △ When he’s struggling with his schoolwork, I should do all (that) I can (do) to help him become a more efficient learner. △It'll take up some of my spare time, but this friendship is worth my extra time and effort.

Take my experience as an example.
Let me give you a few examples of…
…is/provides a good example.
Once, I read a news story about/ heard about…
Possible answer
A: I think good friends should be honest. A good friend is like a mirror and lets you know what is happening. For instance, when I was upset that I got a low mark(成绩;分数;等级) in Maths, my best friend reminded me that I had spent too much time playing games on my phone instead of studying. At first I was angry, but then I realized
she wanted me to be serious(当真的;认真的) about my studies.
B: I agree. They should be trustworthy [ tr stw i] (值得信任的;可信赖的;可靠的) too. Take my experience as an example. At junior high [(美国的)初级中学 ] I failed an English exam and was very embarrassed [ m b r st].
My best friend tried to help me but I said no at first because I thought she’d tell everyone my secret--- she didn’t. We’re still good friends because we trust each other very much.
A: Great! That’s what trustworthy friends do. My best friend knows all my secrets too and I can talk to her about anything.
Being humorous is just as important Once, I read an article about two best friends who met almost sixty years ago! Their secret(诀窍;秘诀) is that they always try to make each other laugh.
B: That’s a good example of how humour can maintain a friendship.
A: You’re right! All these qualities make(使出现;引发;使产生) long-lasting [(可)持久的;长期的] relationships.
D. Write a diary entry about what makes a good friend. Use your ideas from part C and the information in parts A and B to help you. P38
◆ Planning your writing

A diary entry is a record of a person’s experiences, thoughts, feelings or plans.
As a personal form of writing, a diary entry is generally not meant to be read by anyone else.
Learning about the format [ f m t]
When you write a diary entry, you can write the date in the top left-hand corner of the page and begin with “Dear Diary”.
Learning about the language
Try to use informal(非正式的;口语体的) English, as if you were talking to a close friend. The first person “I” is often used in a diary entry.
◆ Checking your writing
Remember to check your writing after you finish and exchange drafts(草稿;草案;草图) between you and your partner.
Pay attention to the following aspects.
Punctuation Spelling Grammar Choice of words

21 November
Dear Diary,
Friendship is very important to me. In my opinion, there are certain qualities that are very important in a friend.
First, a good friend should be humorous. △ Nothing makes spending time together more fun than a friend who makes you laugh.(没有什么比和一个能逗你笑的朋友在一起更有趣的了)
My best friend is a funny girl. I feel happy when I listen to her talking. We laugh at the funny scenes in films, we laugh at each other’s silly mistakes, and we laugh at ourselves as well. △No true friendship can grow unless the people involved(包含的;涉及的) are able to laugh together.除非当事人能够一起欢笑,否则真正的友谊是无法成长的。
Second, a close friend should also be trustworthy. A true friend has to be someone you can trust with(托付;托交;把…委托给某人照管) your secrets. Whenever I feel low(沮丧的;消沉的;无精打采的), my best friend has a way to break through 克服;战胜) my tears. She was the one I turned to when I got a low mark in Maths, when I lost the game in the school sports meeting,
and when I had a big argument with my parents.
Finally, a true friend should be honest. A good friend must be able to tell you the truth not only when you are right, but also when you are wrong. Without this, the friendship will only ever exist on the surface and never develop a deeper meaning. In fact. I am glad that my friend can always point out what I have done wrong.
I might be upset at first, but when I realize that she is like a mirror which honestly reflects my mistakes. I have to admit that this friendship makes me a better person.
Generally speaking, a true friend will have all three of these qualities. △A friendship where both parties have all of these qualities will surely be a long-lasting relationship. It will enrich the lives of both friends.(共45张PPT)

Li Bai and Du Fu, two of the greatest poets in Chinese history, formed a lasting friendship.
Stories of their friendship have come down to this very day.
The two poets first met in the year 744, when Li Bai, already a well-known poet, was 43 years of age and Du Fu was 32. They admired each other and quickly became friends.
come down (to sb./sth.)
(从很久以前)流传下来
The name has come down from the last century.
这名称是从上个世纪流传下来的。
Though the two poets met only a couple of times during their lives, their shared love of poems kept them close together. They wrote many poems to and about each other. In one poem, Du Fu wrote:
When can we again hold a cup of wine,
And chat about poem-writing line 何时一樽酒, 重与细论文。
(From Missing Li Bai on a Spring Day
春日忆李白)
The relationship between Li Bai and Du Fu shows that shared interests form the basis of true friendship, which ties one heart to the other no matter how far away they are from each other.
(1)What does the sample [ sɑ mpl] page mainly focus on
(2)What’s the basis of their friendship
It focuses on the friendship between Li Bai and Du Fu.
Shared interests-poems.
(3)What do you think of the sample

B. Reading and writing
B1. The magazine article describes the great lengths one boy went to when his friend was in danger. Read the article and answer the questions below.
go to any, some, great, etc. lengths (to do sth): to put a lot of effort into doing sth, especially when this seems extreme 竭尽全力;不遗余力
She goes to extraordinary [ k str dnri] lengths to keep her private life private.她竭尽全力让自己的私生活不受干扰。
How far would you go to help a friend Jeremy Savage [ s v d ], aged 17, and Ian [i n] Marshall ['mɑ: l], aged 16, both from Canada, had their friendship tested to the limit on a recent trip to the Rocky Mountains with their parents.
On Saturday morning, the two boys decided to climb Cathedral [k θi dr l] Mountain(卡西德勒尔山) by themselves while their parents relaxed at the campsite. After three hours, they reached the top and enjoyed the beautiful view from the mountaintop.
However, trouble began when they started the climb down.
On one very dangerous part of the mountain, lan fell three metres off the side of the path. Jeremy climbed down to where lan was and found him badly injured and not able to move. Jeremy had to decide what to do. He needed help but he did not want to leave his friend. He cleaned the dirt and blood from lan’s face and hands, and then tried to help lan stand up, but lan’s right leg was hurting too much.
They had to wait and hope that help would come.
Meanwhile, as darkness started to fall, their parents back at the campsite became very worried that the boys had not returned. They got in touch with park workers and began searching for the boys. Soon more than 20 people were looking for them on Cathedral Mountain.
While they waited for help, Jeremy gave lan his food and water and let him lie on his jacket. As the evening grew darker and the temperature dropped, lan told Jeremy to leave him and go back to their parents but Jeremy still did not leave. He thought it was too dangerous for lan to be alone on such a cold windy night. Jeremy used his jacket and an extra shirt to keep lan warm and they rested together through the night.
At sunrise, Jeremy decided that the only way to help his friend was to carry him down the mountain. So, they started the long climb back to the campsite. Sometimes Jeremy carried lan on his back. Sometimes he carried him in his arms. Finally, after four long and tiring hours, they came across their parents, who were relieved(感到宽慰的;放心的;显得开心的) to see them.
“I will always remember what Jeremy did for me,” said lan afterwards. “He saved my life. That is the greatest thing that a person can do for his friend.”
1. What does the underlined word “relieved” in the last paragraph mean Find its antonym [ nt n m] (a word with an opposite meaning反义词) in the magazine article.
“Relieved” means that you are no longer anxious or worried about something. Its antonym is “worried”.
2. Complete the timeline of the main events that happened in the article below.
On Saturday morning:

B2. What Jeremy and lan experienced was a test of their friendship. Rewrite the story from Jeremy’s or lan’s point of view. Add details about what happened and how you felt. P73
(Possible answer)
It all happened one weekend when we went camping in the Rocky Mountains. Jeremy and I decided to climb Cathedral Mountain while our parents waited at camp. We are both experienced climbers, and although the climb was quite long, it wasn’t too difficult.
We made it to the top easily.
The view was fantastic, but we started back down soon afterwards. We wanted to get back to the campsite before it started to get dark. About halfway down, I slipped (滑倒;滑跤) and fell off the path. For a moment I couldn’t feel anything, but then an awful pain shot( 剧痛跳窜) through my leg and blood ran down my face and hands.
It hurt so much! Somehow Jeremy managed to get down to me. We both shouted and shouted in the hope that someone would come to help us, but no one arrived. Jeremy insisted that I have his food and water and tried to make me comfortable with his clothes.
As it got darker and colder, I told Jeremy to leave me and to go back to camp to get help, but he said no.
He told me he thought it was too dangerous to leave me alone at night. We tried calling again, but there was no reply. We tried to make ourselves as warm and comfortable as possible and decided to wait until morning.
I don’t remember much about the next morning. I was tired and in so much pain. I couldn’t think clearly. Jeremy said he couldn’t leave me so he decided to carry me down.
Every step was painful for us both, but Jeremy just kept putting one foot in front of the other. Slowly, carefully, and with great difficulty, he made it down the mountain. Four long hours later, we heard our parents calling our names. We were saved! I will never forget what Jeremy did. He was there for me when I was at my most helpless. He saved my life----the greatest thing a friend can do.
be there for sb
随叫随到;不离…左右
You know I'll always be there for you.你知道我将永远在你左右。

◆教学目标
By the end of this section, we will be able to:
1. summarize the post of the forum exchange and provide an ending to it;
2. apply the plot line theory and understand the contrastive [k n trɑ:st v] linking devices(手段;策略;方法;技巧) in it;
3.adopt a positive attitude and practical solutions to deal with real-life friendship problems.
It is often difficult to start a friendship and even more difficult to keep one. △The forum exchange below includes a post written by Amy, a teenage girl who had a problem with her best friend Jenny, and two replies. Before you read the forum exchange, think about the following questions. P30
1.Do you think there are “friends for life” Why or why not
Yes, I do. I know some of my parents’ friends who have been friends with my parents since primary school and they are still the best of friends. They all grew up in the same neighbourhood and went to the same schools.
Even if they do not see or talk to each other often now, they know each other so well and can rely on each other no matter what happens. I believe friends of this type will remain friends for life.
2.Would you turn to online communities for advice about maintaining friendships Why or why not
Option 1: I don’t think I would because I don’t like to share my personal problems online. I think it is better to speak to my friends or ask parents for advice if something is wrong.
Sharing personal problems online can lead to more problems such as the invasion[ n ve n] (侵犯;干预) of your privacy [ pr v si](隐私) by people you don’t know. It could be embarrassing [ m b r s ](令人害羞的;让人难堪的;令人尴尬的 )
and even quite dangerous.
Option 2: Yes, I would because I think there are many people of my age online. It can give me advice. I feel shy to talk about my problems with my friends or parents, so online communities are a great way for me to express myself.
When I chat to my online friends, I feel part of a community that comes from similar backgrounds and has had the same experiences. We can therefore share advice with each other without feeling embarrassed [ m b r st][(尤指在社交场合)窘迫的,尴尬的,害羞的].
Friendship on the rocks:
please advise
友谊触礁,急需建议!
Predict [pr d kt] the content(内容) [ k ntent] of the forum exchange according to the title. What could “on the rocks” possibly mean How can you tell that

My best friend and I have been close (亲密的;密切的) for eight years. When I was an awkward[(行动)笨拙的,害羞的] primary school student, she was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me.
Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she’s been almost like a sister to me. Whether we’re walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we’re hardly out of each other’s sight. But last Saturday, she broke my heart, and I’m still picking up the pieces [收拾心情;(使)恢复;补救;收拾残局].

Our original plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon. But in the morning, my friend posted a message on social media saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.”
Today, however, I received a horrible surprise. A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a cafe on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! Instead of recovering at home, she was out having fun with someone else.
I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I still don’t feel like responding to any of her online messages. The stress of this situation is killing me, and I’m at a loss what to do next.

After thinking through(充分考虑;全盘考虑;想透) the advice given online, Amy still didn’t know how to solve her problem. The next morning Amy found a note on her desk saying(写着), “Could we talk after school, please Things are not like what you think.”
Amy immediately recognized that it was from her best friend. Though feeling angry, she decided to give it a go [(做某事的)尝试,一番努力]. It was somewhat awkward when they finally met. Amy’s friend broke the ice [(尤指聚会等开始时,用言语或行动)打破隔阂;打头说话] by apologizing sincerely [s n s li].
She then explained that she was ill indeed but was unexpectedly [ n k‘spekt dl ](意外地; 竟; 居然; 骤然) asked out(请…外出约会) by an old friend.

Unit 3
Welcome to the unit
The glory [ ɡl ri] of friendship is not the outstretched [ a t stret t]
hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship [k m p ni n p] ; it is the spiritual [ sp r t u l] inspiration [ nsp re n] that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.
--Ralph [r lf] Waldo['w ld ] Emerson

Bill’s problem:
Bill and his best friend do not share the same interests now.
Jane’s problem:
Harry’s problem:
Jane misses her best friend from junior high.
Harry is too shy to make friends with the other boys in his class.
Video script
Host: Hello, everyone! Today we are going to talk about friendship. The English poet John Donne[‘d n ] [约翰·多恩(英国诗人)] wrote: “No man is an island, entire of itself.”(没有人是自成一体、与世隔绝的孤岛。) We all long for the company of friends, yet sometimes we are not sure how to start or keep a friendship.
Bill, Jane and Harry are three teenagers who are faced with such problems. Let’s find out about what they have to share with us.
Bill: Hello, I’m Bill. I have a best friend whom I have known since primary school and I’m really glad that we are at the same senior high school. However, things have changed.
We no longer share the same interests. We used to be crazy about comics [(尤指儿童看的)连环画杂志], and we always read comic books together. Now I still love comics, but my friend has dropped(停止;终止;放弃) the hobby. △ Whenever I suggest reading a comic book together, he always disagrees, saying he would prefer to play football instead.
I feel we have less and less in common and now we don’t have much to talk about.
Jane: Hello, my name is Jane. It's been nearly a month since I entered senior high school, but I still miss my best friend from junior high. She and I have been best friends for three years and we used to stick together, sharing everything with one another.(形影不离,什么都分享。)
stick together
(informal) (人) to stay together and support each other 团结在一起

Harry: Hi, I’m Harry. I love my new school. My teachers and fellow students are fantastic [f n t st k]. I have every hope of making friends with the other boys in my class.
Whenever I see them together, I wish to join in, to talk and laugh with them, but I dare not. I’m afraid they don’t like me, and that they would laugh at me. Am I a bit too shy
