His mother could not approve of her son’s affection for a woman she had never met, but Bartholdi went ahead and married his love in 1876.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Reading句型nullPara. 2 That same year Bartholdi had assembled the statue’s right arm and torch, and displayed them in Philadelphia. It is said that he had used his wife’s arm as the model, but felt her face was too beautiful for the statue. He needed someone whose face represented suffering yet strength, someone more severe than beautiful. He chose his mother.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Readingnull Para. 3 The Statue of Liberty was dedicated on an island in Upper New York Bay in 1886. It had his mother’s face and his wife’s body, but Bartholdi called it “my daughter, Liberty”.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullBarbie Para. 4 Before all the different types of Barbie dolls for sale now, there was just a single Barbie. Actually, her name was Barbara.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingPara. 5a Barbara Handler was the daughter of Elliot and Ruth Handler, co-founders of the Mattel Toy Company. nullPara. 5b Ruth came up with the idea for Barbie after watching her daughter play with paper dolls. The three-dimensional model for Barbie was a German doll—a joke gift for adults described as having the appearance of “a woman who sold sex”. Mattel refashioned the doll into a decent, all-American—although with an exaggerated breast size—version and named it after Barbara, who was then a teenager. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Reading句型nullPara. 6 Since her introduction in 1959, Barbie has become the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls. Mattel says the average American girl owns ten Barbie dolls, and two are sold somewhere in the world every second.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 7 Now more than sixty years old, Barbara—who declines interviews but is said to have loved the doll—may be the most famous unknown figure on the planet.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 8 Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken, was introduced in 1961 and named after Barbara’s brother. The real Ken, who died in 1994, was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous. “I don’t want my children to play with it,” he said in 1993.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullAmerican Gothic Para. 9a Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 9b He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world’s attention. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Reading句型nullPara. 10 Wood liked to paint faces he knew well. For the grave farmer he used his dentist, a sour-looking man. For the woman standing alongside him, the artist chose his sister, Nan. He stretched the models’ necks a bit, but there was no doubt who posed for the portrait. Para. 11 Nan later remarked that the fame she gained from American Gothic saved her from a very boring life. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullThe Buffalo Nickel Para. 12 Today, American coins honor prominent figures of the US government —mostly famous former presidents. But the Buffalo nickel, produced from 1913 to 1938, honored a pair of connected tragedies from the settlement of the American frontier—the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Readingnull课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingPara. 13 While white people had previously been used as models for most American coins, famed artist James Earle Fraser went against tradition by using three actual American Indians as models for his creation. 句型nullPara. 14 For the buffalo on the other side, since buffalo no longer wandered about the great grasslands, Fraser was forced to sketch an aging buffalo from New York City’s Central Park Zoo. Two years later, in 1915, this animal was sold for $100 and killed for meat, a hide, and a wall decoration made from its horns.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullUncle Sam Para. 15 Fourteen-year-old Sam Wilson ran away from home to join his father and older brothers in the fight to liberate the American colonies from the British during the American Revolution. At age 23, he started a meat-packing business and earned a reputation for being honest and hard-working.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 16a During a later war in 1812, Wilson gained a position inspecting meat for US Army forces, working with a man who had signed a contract with the government to provide meat to the army. Barrels of meat supplied to the army were stamped “EA-US”, identifying the company (EA) and the country of origin (US). 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 16b According to one story, when a government official visited the plant and asked about the letters, a creative employee told him “US” was short for “Uncle Sam” Wilson. Soon soldiers were saying all Army supplies were from “Uncle Sam”. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Reading句型nullPara. 17a After the war, a character called Uncle Sam began appearing in political cartoons, his form evolving from an earlier cartoon character called Brother Jonathan that was popular during the American Revolution. Uncle Sam soon replaced Brother Jonathan as American’s most popular symbol. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and ReadingnullPara. 17b The most enduring portrait of Uncle Sam was created by artist James Montgomery Flagg in his famous army recruiting posters of World Wars I and II. That version—a tall man with white hair and a small white beard on his chin, a dark blue coat and a tall hat with stars on it—was a self-portrait of Flagg. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 Text Analyzing and Reading句型nullAbridgement of Text Now that we become more familiar with the organization of the text, as shown in the block diagram, what can we derive from the text in order to abridge it into a three-paragraph essay?课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 nullAbridgement of TextFive Famous Symbols of American Culture Para. 1 For Americans, the most famous symbol of their culture is the Statue of Liberty, since it is seen as a tribute to the most significant event in history—US victory in the war of independence. As a gift from the French, it was created in the mid-1870s by the French artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi through using his wife’s body and his mother’s face as the model. 课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 nullAbridgement of TextPara. 2 Barbie and American Gothic are more descriptive of human inspiration. Watching her daughter Barbara play with paper dolls inspired Ruth to come up with the creation of the doll, Barbie. Her idea was effected by refashioning a German doll into a decent, all-American version. Since its birth in 1959, Barbie has become the universally recognized Queen of the Dolls. And American Gothic is just a painting of inspiration from the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 nullAbridgement of Textwhat captures the world’s attention are the faces in it, which reflect the solemn pride of American farmers. The Buffalo nickel, in contrast, is more representative of human destructivity. It bears witness to two tragedies in history—the destruction of the buffalo herds and the American Indians. For its design, three actual American Indians and an aging buffalo from Central Park Zoo were used as the models. Para. 3 Uncle Sam, as a symbol of honesty and课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 nullAbridgement of Texthard work, is a product of times. It evolved from a real person named Sam Wilson, who, during the American Revolution, supplied the army with meat stamped “EA-US” identifying the company (EA) and country of origin (US). It was said then that US stood for “Uncle Sam”, which was later presumed as true. Before long, an American artist, James Montgomery Flagg, created the most enduring portrait of Uncle Sam.课文阅读 随 笔 课文缩写 结构分析 SummarySummaryEnglish Equivalents of ChineseCreative Application of Typical ExpressionsFurther Application of Typical PatternsSummarynull句型应用 短语活用 随 笔 English Equivalents of Chineseto work on an enormous project Liberty Enlightening the World to be in love with sb. one’s affection for sb. go ahead someone whose face represents suffering yet strengthto be dedicated on an island for sale to describe sth. as null句型应用 短语活用 随 笔 English Equivalents of Chinesethe universally recognized Queen of the Dolls the most famous unknown figure on the planetthe interpretation of sth.the solemn pride of American farmers to be strongly influenced by to pose for the portrait to go against tradition to name afternull句型应用 短语活用 随 笔 English Equivalents of Chineseto gain a position to sign a contract with to wander about the great grasslands nullCreative Application of Typical Expressionsto come up withto refashion … into …to capture one’s attentionto earn a reputation forto be short for句型应用 短语互译 随 笔 nullreceive higher education / children from rural areasFor many children from rural areas, receiving higher education is the only chance of coming up in the world.遭遇（困难或反对）:与······相等，符合: 地位上升:to come up against to come up to to come up in the world接受高等教育是许多农村孩子出人头地的唯一机会。 知 识 链 接活 学 活 用意 群 提 示BackCreative Application of Typical Expressions句型应用 短语互译 随 笔 null将······变形，化作······: 将······转化成······:把······变成······: 把······变成某形状: the stress one suffers / a pushing mover behind sth.
