北师大版高中英语选择性必修第四册
LIVING IN A COMMUNITY
Have you ever experienced a neighbourhood conflict What do you think might cause conflicts between neighbours
Activity 1
loud noise made by neighbours
bad smells from neighbour’s fish tank
can’t read without plugging your ears
can rarely get a full night’s sleep
to be driven mad by neighbours
Here are two newspaper reports on neighbourhood conflicts. Read the two reports and find out what caused each conflict.
Activity 2
Drummer Hits the Road
Ma Ming,drummer for the rock band “Storm”,had to pack his bags. He moved out of his rented flat after complaints from his neighbours about disturbing the peace.
Being single,Ma Ming often held parties at night,but the biggest problem was his tendency to drum late at night. Ma Ming’s neighbours said they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise. The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer,he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him. The neighbours quickly realised they were in trouble when he moved in. And from then on,they rarely got a full night’s sleep. They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging their ears. One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son.
In the end,the community council took action. “We took a vote,and came to a resolution. We gave Ma Ming a warning. We told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property,”a council member said. “Getting enough sleep is important for people’s health and,after such a chorus of complaints,we had to take action.”
Ma Ming’s departure has pleased his neighbours. “Life will go back to normal now,”they said.
For Ma Ming’s version of the story,we found him in a hotel in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him. He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”. Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat. “Living in a hotel means the hotel staff makes the bed every day and I don’t have to do my own washing! Anyhow,I’m now looking for a remote house on the edge of the city.”
Read “Drummer Hits the Road”. Answer the questions.
Activity 3
1 Why did the neighbours complain about Ma Ming
2 What did the community council do Why did they take action
Because he often held parties at night and drummed late at night.
They took a vote,gave Ma Ming a warning and told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property. Because after such a chorus of complaints,they had to take action.
3 Where is Ma Ming now What is his attitude towards the conflict
4 What do you understand by the title “Drummer Hits the Road”
Now he is in a hotel in Shanghai. Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced
against him. He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”. Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat.
The drummer starts a journey to look for a proper house to stay.
Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too Many
Eighty-year-old retired tailor,James McKay,spent Saturday night in a cell after hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick. McKay’s wife,Laurene said that,while McKay is usually a peaceful and pleasant person,he had been driven to this act of
violence by literally getting wet just once too often. He could no longer tolerate it.
Smith lives above the McKays. He is a keen gardener,and also a fish collector. Unfortunately,the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKays’ floor,or too often,on the unsuspecting McKays themselves.
“For the last two weeks,since Smith moved into the flat above us,we dared not go
onto our balcony,”said Laurene. She added that it wasn’t only the water falling
onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered them,but also the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We’d be sitting there happily reading our newspapers,when suddenly so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on! We could hardly get rid of the smell of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too much. “It was James’ birthday,”Laurene recalled ,“and it was such a beautiful night to enjoy the starry night outside. I made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine,but James didn’t get to blow them out.” Instead,Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through. “I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn’t stop him. He was up there in a flash.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his ways from now on. And what of James McKay As he left the police station,
a large crowd of supporters sang him “Happy Birthday”. “Definitely the
most exciting birthday ever!” said the cheerful old man. “The best since
my youth,I’d say!”
Read “Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too plete the table. Then present a self-talk on what happened based on your notes.

Activity 5
Find the people who did the following. Write sentences accordingly.
Activity 6
Causes & Conflicts
to hold parties at night
to hit someone over the head
to drum late at
to throw water over the balcony
to be wet through
Results
to spend Saturday night in a cell
to be driven mad
to be in trouble
to take action
to give a warning
to be driven to an act of violence
Example Ma Ming often held parties at night and his neighbours were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.
Do you think the conflicts were well-resolved in the two reports What other ways can you think of to deal with the conflicts
Activity 7
I think there had been other opportunities of resolving the conflicts in a more peaceful manner.
Another way to deal with Ma Ming’s conflict:he negotiates an agreement with the community council on a couple of hours he could drum during the day.
Smith and McKay’s conflict could be dealt with differently if the McKays had made their complaints to Smith earlier and Smith had changed his ways of doing things.
How serious were the two conflicts Find and underline the expressions
that describe the intensity of the conflicts in the two reports.
Example ...they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.
...we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on!
Activity 8
Drummer Hits the Road:
They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging their ears.
One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son.

Activity 12
单元语法
情态动词
情态动词表示说话人对某一动作或状态的态度,但本身词义不完全,不能单独作谓语。情态动词没有人称和数的变化(be able to,have to 除外)。每一个情态动词
都有自己的具体含义和特点。情态动词的否定式一般是在它们的后面加否定词 not 构成的。
一 情态动词的基本用法
1. can 和 could(could 是 can 的过去式,也可表示语气委婉)
(1)表示能力。
He can do the work by himself. 他能独自做这项工作。
Could the girl read before she went to school 这个女孩上学前会识字吗?
(2)表示推测(常用于否定句和疑问句)。
He can’t be over sixty. 他不可能超过 60 岁。
Can this story be true 这个故事会是真的吗?
(3)表示许可和请求(could 用来表示“请求”时,是委婉的说法,回答时只能用 can)。
You can use my dictionary now. 你现在可以用我的词典。
—Could I have a look at your new pen 我可以看一看你的新钢笔吗?
—Of course you can. 当然可以。
(4)表示某人 / 某物一时的特点,可译为“有可能,有时会”。
He can be very careless at times. 他有时会很粗心。
【易混辨析】
can 和 be able to
(1)can/could 表示能力,只用于现在时和过去时(could),而 be able to 有各种时态。
They will be able to tell you the news soon.
他们很快就能告诉你那个消息了。
(2)表示成功地做了某事,只能用 was/were able to,而不能用 could。
They were able to escape from the flood.
他们成功地从洪水中逃离。
2. may 和 might
(1)表示许可。在表示请求、允许时,might 比 may 语气更委婉一些,否定回答时要用 mustn’t,表示“不可以,禁止”。
—Might I use your pen 我能用你的钢笔吗?
—No,you mustn’t. 不,你不能用。
(2)用于祈使句表示祝愿。
May you succeed! 祝你成功!
【温馨提示】
may 或 might 可以表示可能性。用 might 则语气更加不肯定。
He may/might get there on time,but I’m not sure.
他有可能准时到达,但我不确定。
3. must
(1)表示义务等。意为“必须”,强调主观看法。
We must do everything step by step.
我们做一切事情都必须循序渐进。
—Must we hand in our exercise books now 我们现在必须要交练习本吗?
—No,you needn’t/don’t have to. 不,不必。
(2)表示推测。意为“肯定,一定”,只用于肯定句。
He must be ill. 他准是病了。
