Material for reference:
中西方去朋友家做客送礼的差别：
中国人送礼喜欢成双，比如说两瓶酒，两条烟。一是为了显示自己不是小气人，二是为了讨个吉利数字。去朋友或者亲戚家做客，拎点水果是非常普遍的情况。
但是，在西方，人们送酒的时候都是只送一瓶。因为他们吃饭的时候要喝客人带来的酒，如果客人拿了两瓶，似乎表明客人是个酒鬼，他恐怕一瓶酒不够喝。
去朋友家做客一般也不送水果。水果一般是作为看望病人时候的礼物。

课文译文
礼貌
参观一个国家只学习它的语言是不够的。如果你想要有次愉快之旅，你就必须尽可能多地了解东道国的礼仪和习俗。了解不同国家的文化，你会对它们之间的差异感到惊讶。以下就是一个很好的例子。
最近在英国发生了这样一件事。三个小伙来到汽车站等车。5分钟后，汽车来了。他们准备上车。突然，背后一阵喧闹，身后的人挤上汽车，把他们推到一边。售票员赶忙下车看到底发生了什么事情。三个小伙看上去很困惑和尴尬。没有人告诉过他们：在英国乘公交车是要排队的，先来后到。
现在你明白了，了解另一个国家的文化是多么重要。

设计思路
本单元旨在让学生了解英语平行结构的基本用法，重点讲解结构的对称性和语言的连贯性。
参考教法
· 教师可以用一些经典语录让学生感受平行结构带来的表达效果。如:
May you keep fit, study well and work hard.
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
The world listens. The world watches. The world waits to see what we will do.
· 让学生找出句中的平行结构，并说出这些平行结构的表达效果。
参考资料
平行结构是一种修辞手法，它可以使句子前后保持平衡和协调，从而增加语言的连贯性。
平行结构常常使用并列连词，如and, but, or, neither...nor, either...or, not only...but also, not...but等，我们在使用这些并列连词时要注意它们所连接的应该是同等的成分，而不能其中一个概念用分词结构表达，而另一个概念用不定式或从句来表达。比较以下两个句子：
错误：Do some nice things for your parents that they don’t expect—like cooking, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or clean the floors.
改为：Do some nice things for your parents that they don’t expect—like cooking, doing the dishes, washing clothes, or cleaning the floors.

假日自驾车旅游的流行
由于国家经济的繁荣发展，人们变得越来越富有。随着口袋里钱的增多，人们希望以不同的生活方式享受生活。一些人想购买新房，另外一些人想去旅游，还有一些人热衷于自驾车旅游。
由于自驾车旅游非常的自由、灵活、方便，自驾游已经变得非常受欢迎。游客不必在导游的带领下从一个地方赶到另外一个地方，有车的旅行者可以做出自己的选择。他们可以去任何想去的地方。 旅行时，人们不需要再背着沉重的行李了。每次长假到来，成千上万的旅行者驱车离开城市，穿梭在高速公路上，自驾游使他们更加亲近大自然和当地居民。
自驾游的流行主要有以下两个原因：
首先，自驾游与中国交通发展密切相关。专家指出：假日旅游的流行与中国各大、中型城市的交通发展有着直接联系。当国家首次推出7天假期政策后，旅游者纷纷涌向旅游景点。现在，人们正选择较偏远的地方来度假。
其次，私人汽车的不断增多使得自驾游成为可能。随着经济的不断发展，人们的生活水平也逐渐提高。私家车的拥有量也剧增。截止到2002年，百分之四的北京家庭已经拥有了汽车。北京百分之九十的购车者都是私人，这就是越来越多的人喜欢自驾游的原因。

中国人爱上低碳生活
众所周知，低碳生活就是降低二氧化碳的排放量，其特点就是低能量，低消耗、低开支。由于气候恶化带来的威胁越来越明显，人们正在重新思考生活方式，我们有责任把我们的地球建设为一个低碳的星球。降低碳排放量，选择低碳生活，已经成为每一个公民的职责。
当前，很多中国人已经开始接受低碳的生活。人们对这种生活方式也越来越感兴趣了，喜欢把他们的低碳日记或低碳小贴士放到网络上，号召更多的人参与到低碳活动中，如双面使用张纸，离开房间时关闭电源，步行、骑自行车或乘地铁上班，使用电子邮件或MSN，减少使用打印机、传真机等。
上海有一个绿色宾馆，其建筑材料全部来自废弃的建筑物。在接待处，电脑可以测量每一位旅客在途中的碳释放量，然后计算出吸收这些碳需要多少棵树。旅客向宾馆支付一定的费用，宾馆就可以帮旅客在华北地区的内蒙古种植这些树木。
中国现在正在重新思考她的发展模式，我们有责任把中国建设成为一个低碳环保的国家。

课文译文
美式教养观
养育孩子是件伤脑筋的差事，并受文化的影响。美国父母很自然地会教导他们的孩子基本的美国价值观。
对美国人而言，教养的目的在于帮助孩子们自立更生。从婴幼儿期开始，每一个孩子都可能拥有自己的房间；随着孩子的成长，他们有更多自己作决定的机会；青少年选择自己喜欢的娱乐方式和玩伴；成年之后，自己选择事业和结婚伴侣。当然，很多的年轻人在作选择时，还是会征求父母的建议。
在美国，父母与子女之间的关系不是那么严肃，美国父母们试着将孩子视为个体，他们之间的关系更像是朋友。
训诫孩子是另一项引起美国父母争议的议题。例如：“隔离法”即是近年来颇被接受的方式，被隔离的孩子必须坐在墙角或是墙边，除非他们肯乖一点才可以起来；年纪稍大的孩子或是青少年若是违反规定，则可能不准和朋友出去玩耍，而他们在家中的某些权利，像是看电视或是打电话，也会被取消一段时间。虽然处罚对于双方都不是什么有趣的事，但是它仍是训诫孩子时必要的一部份。
为人父母不是一件容易的事，需要付出耐心、爱心、智慧、勇气和幽默。

课文译文
人的包装
人如商品一样,需要包装, 但做得过分就不明智了。当然稍微有点夸张，能展示个人独特气质的包装是无伤大雅的。要想很自然地展示个人魅力，重要的是要先了解自己。好的包装师在包装的过程中懂得如何不留痕迹将艺术和自然完美地结合起来。用这种方法包装出来的人是活生生的有血有肉的人，不是商品。
一个年轻漂亮、有活力的女人拥有上帝赐予的神采，没必要去化妆，可青春转瞬即逝。人到中年，打扮包装主要是为了掩饰岁月蹉跎带来的皱纹。如果你仍然富有和自信，具有独特的自然气质，那么美和魅力会一直伴随你。当你老的时候，生命之河穿越了“平原、高山和丛林”，那么你就是美的。你已经度过了漫漫人生; 你的心灵是平静的; 你不再在乎名利，也不再担心外表了。让你的容颜随着时光的流逝自然老去，与大自然保持和谐，因为和谐本身就是一种美.
如果每个人都能找到自己的位置，她就知道如何去包装自己，她就会更美，世界就会更美。

“我们看着巨大的水墙漫过酒店顶部，朝正在燃烧的建筑物倾泻而下。巨浪一瞬间就淹没了大火，消防员二十分钟都没做到的事情，大浪两秒钟就做到了，火焰在庞大的海水中熄灭了。我们四人站在山顶，凝视着眼前令人难以置信的景象，大浪带着那两栋黄色大楼的碎片和周围的人回落大海，一辆黄色轿车随着退去的海浪上下疾动，轮子在空中旋转。” 汤姆如此描叙了泰国海啸的场景。他能够幸存多亏了蒂莉·史密斯的警告。
蒂莉·史密斯，这个11岁英国女孩，在泰国那场海啸中，曾让100多名游客从泰国的一个海滩上死里逃生，汤姆就是其中之一。因此，她被称为"沙滩天使"。
