In my parents words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth. When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appli-ances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday. In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them. The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better. (194 words) - 9^ - Appendix I Unit 2 Part I Pre-Reading Task Script for the recording: The song you are going to listen to is called Abraham, Martin & John, sung by Dion. Abraham, Martin & John Dion Has anybody here, Seen my old friend Abraham, Can you tell me, where hes gone, He freed a lotta people, But it seems the good die young, I just loohed around, And hes gone, Has anybody here, Seen my old friend John, Can you tell me, where hes gone, He freed a lotta people, But it seems the good die young, I just loohed around, And he s gone, Has anybody here, Seen my old friend Martin, Appendix I - 95 - Can you tell me, where hes gone, He freed a lotta people, But it seems the good die young, I just looked around, And hes gone, Didnt you love the things they stood for, Didnt they try to find some good for you and me, And well he free, Someday soon its gonna be one day, Has anybody here, Seen my old friend Bothy, Can you tell me, where hes gone, I thought I saw him walhin up over the hill, With Ahrah am, Martin and John. The unit we are going to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, "gone". How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. Thats one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb: "the good die young." So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi-nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln. Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi-nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. Bobby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedys brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down. - 96 - Appendix I Part II Text A Text Organization 1.
