Let’s complete!
Let’s retell!
The king had a rich and beautiful country. He had everything, but he was unhappy. He was worried about losing everything.
The prime minister had a lot of power, but it doesn’t make him happy. He was worried about losing his power.
The king’s banker had a lot of wealth, but he was worried about losing his money.
The palace singer had fame, but he’s not happy. He was worried about being followed by others.
Let’s answer!
1.Can medicine help the king? Why or why not?
2. What’s the medicine that the doctor gives?
3. What’s the ending of the story about the unhappy king?
Neither medicine nor rest can help him.
Because there is nothing wrong with his body.
It’s all in his mind.
To wear the shirt of a happy person.
What’s the ending of the story about the unhappy king?
1a Look at the possible endings to the story about
the unhappy king. Do you think any of these is
the right one? If so, which one?
a. The general cannot find a happy person and the king
remains unhappy forever.
b. The general finds a happy person with power and money.
c. The general realizes he is a happy person and gives his shirt to the king to wear.
d. The king suddenly becomes happy without the shirt of a happy person.
remain仍然
The general cannot find a happy person and the king remains unhappy forever.将军没能找到快乐的人,国王永远不快乐。
remain是系动词,意为“仍然,依旧,遗留”,后面可接名词、代词、形容词、介词短语、分词作表语。
e.g. How can we?remain?silent on this question? ??
对于这个问题我们怎么能保持沉默呢?
e.g. If you don't eat, you'll just have to remain hungry.
如果你不吃东西, 那就只好饿着吧。
Pair work
1b What are some other possible endings to the story? Discuss your ideas with your partner.
The general found a poor man. The man was very happy.
The poor man gave his shirt to the general.
Pre-listening
Look and guess.
Who are the two people?
Where are they?
What do you think they’re talking about?
The general
The happy man
on the street
Do you have a shirt ?
1c Listen to The Shirt of a Happy Man (Part II) and check (?)
the things that happened in the rest of the story.
_____ The general searched for three days and found a happy person.
_____ The general could not find a happy person.
_____ The general saw a poor man on the street.
_____ The poor man was a happy man.
_____ The poor man gave the general his shirt.
?
?
search for 搜查
The general searched for three days and found a happy person.
将军搜寻了三天,找到了一个快乐的人。
search在这里是不及物动词,意为“搜查,调查”。search for 指“搜寻、搜索某人或物”。search的目的物用for引出,而搜寻的地方常用介词through引出。
e.g. He searched for work at various stores.??
他在各家商店寻找工作。
e.g. You can?search for?it on the Internet.??
你可以上网搜索一下。
【拓展】search for 和look for 都有“寻找”的意思。
search for 则指“搜寻、搜索某人或物”.
look for 意为“寻找”,同search for意义大体相同。
但search for 意味较强,用很大注意力搜寻。
而look for则较为通俗,常用于日常用语。
e.g. I looked for my missing pen everywhere.
我到处找我丢失的那支笔。
Listen again and put the sentences in the right order.
I heard you singing just now.
I have everything I want, and I don’t want what I can’t have.
Two days passed.
He was eating with his hands and singing happily.
Just as he was about to give up.
1.____ 2._____ 3._____ 4._____ 5._____
be about to do sth即将做某事
give up doing sth

1d Listen again. Answer the questions.
1. How long did it take the general to find the happy man?
2. What was the poor man doing on the street?
Two days.
He was eating some food with his hands and singing happily to himself.
3. What made the poor man so happy even though he
had no power, money or fame?
4. Do you think the general will return to the king with
the poor man’s shirt? Why or why not?
He had everything he wanted and didn’t want what
he couldn’t have.
No, because the poor man did not have a shirt.
even though即使
What made the poor man so happy even though he had no power, money or fame?
even though 虽然,即使(引导的从句内容往往是真实的,主要用于引出不利于主句情况的信息)
e.g. Even though it's hard work,I enjoy it.
虽然工作艰苦,我还是喜欢它。
e.g. He went out even though it was raining.
尽管在下雨,他还是出去了。
【拓展】通常可以和even if互换使用,引导让步状语从句。(even if 引导的从句往往是假设性的,相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”)
e.g.They'll stand by you even if you don't succeed.
即使你不成功,他们也会支持你。
1e Do you agree with the poor man’s thoughts about
happiness? Discuss your ideas with your group. Then
role-play the rest of the story.
I heard you singing just now, and you sound very happy.
That’s because I am happy.
......
......
Read and then role-play in groups.
The general searched and searched but couldn’t find anyone. It seemed that everyone had their own problems, and no one was truly happy. Two days passed. Just as he was about to give up, he saw a poor man on the street. He was eating with his hands and singing happily to himself. The general went up to him.?
General: Hello! I’m the king’s top general.
Man: Hi, General. What can I do for you today?
General: I heard you singing just now, and you sound very happy.
Man: That’s because I am happy.
General: But I don’t understand. What makes you so happy? You have no power, money or fame.
Man: I have everything I want, and I don’t want what I can’t have. So I’m happy, and my song comes from the happiness in my heart.
General: Then I need to give your shirt to the king. Is it there in your bag? How much do you want for it?
Man: Shirt? What shirt? I don’t own any shirts!
