教学素材 | 情感之旅：我们经历的多种情绪

The Many Moods We Pass Through情感之旅：我们经历的多种情绪词汇：考研| 句法：四级| 文本：考研刘立军 供稿Often we overlook the fact that our emotions are as transient as the skies above, a truth seemingly etched in the cosmos since our creation. Our spirits are in a state of perpetual motion, mirroring the restless parade of weather systems across a fickle sky. 我们常常忽视一个事实：我们的情绪就像头顶的天空一样变幻无常，这一真相似乎自我们诞生之日起就被铭刻在宇宙之中。我们的精神处于不断变化的状态，就像变幻莫测的天空中不断变化的天气系统。Thus, permanence is an illusion: a peaceful, beautiful day will likely be succeeded by a gloomy one, a tranquil morning by a tempestuous afternoon, and a fierce storm by a calm sunset. 因此，永恒只是一种幻觉：平静美好的一天很可能会紧跟着阴郁的一天，宁静的早晨可能会紧跟着狂风暴雨的下午，猛烈的风暴可能会紧跟着平静的日落。We persistently seek stability, as if we were unyielding stone. We assert our beliefs, preferences, and desires as if they were unchangeable. Yet, life has a way of challenging these assertions with a headache, a sleepless night, digestive issues, a fleeting moment of joy, a surge of energy, or a pang of conscience, turning our world upside down. 我们不断地寻求稳定性，就好像我们是坚不可摧的石头一样。我们坚定地表达我们的信仰、喜好和愿望，就好像它们是不可改变的。然而，生活总是通过头痛、难眠之夜、消化问题、片刻欢愉、能量爆发或良心刺痛等方式来挑战这些说法，把我们的世界掀翻过来。We must move with more caution, quietly acknowledging the provisional nature of our convictions. This job seems to make perfect sense for now. I feel I’ve figured things out for now. This is who I am for now. Our emotional landscape can shift dramatically with minor fluctuations in our serotonin levels. 我们必须更加谨慎地行事，默默承认我们的信念其实是暂时的。这份工作看起来很合适，但只是现在。我觉得自己把事情都想清楚了，但只是现在。这就是我，但只是现在。我们的整个情绪状态可能会随着血清素水平的轻微波动而发生显著变化。There’s a humorous interplay between the body and the mind, a dance between our higher cognitive functions and our basic physiological needs. We might believe our views on politics or love, our judgments on literature or friendships, are founded on solid, unbiased ground. Yet, we often fail to recognize how much our convictions are influenced by the most basic of factors, such as sleep or blood sugar levels. We might solemnly declare life not worth living, only to realize later that what we needed was rest or a glass of orange juice. 身体和心灵之间存在着一种幽默的互动，就像是一场我们高级认知功能与基本生理需求之间的舞蹈。我们可能认为我们对政治或爱情的观点、对文学或友谊的判断是建立在坚实、无偏见的基础之上的。然而，我们往往没有意识到，我们的信念在多大程度上受到睡眠或血糖水平等最基本因素的影响。我们可能会庄严地宣布生活不值得继续过下去，但后来才意识到，我们所需要的可能只是一场休息或一杯橙汁。By keeping this in mind, we can be more compassionate and understanding towards those around us. Their midnight confessions of hatred or never wanting to see a loved one again might simply be a sign that it’s late, and a heavy meal at that hour was unwise. 记住这一点，我们对周围的人就更能共情，更能理解他们。他们深夜倾诉对某人的憎恨，或者再也不愿见到所爱之人等等，可能仅仅是因为夜深了，而在那个时候吃一顿油腻大餐是不明智的。Recognizing our emotional complexity is especially helpful during dark moments when our inner sky is devoid of hope. With experience, we learn that even if we can’t see a way out at the moment, if we patiently wait, something will eventually come to disperse the clouds of despair. And when we’re on the mountaintops of joy, unable to fathom why we ever felt sadness, we should remember that life’s seasons change, and autumn’s winds will come. 在我们的内心天空一片绝望的黑暗时刻，认识到情绪的复杂性尤其有帮助。凭借经验，我们了解到即使目前看不到出路，如果耐心等待，绝望的乌云终会被驱散。而当我们处于喜悦之巅，无法理解为何自己曾经感到悲伤时，应该记得，生活的季节总会变迁，秋风终将吹拂而来。We falter by prematurely etching our identity in stone, declaring “this is me and always will be.” But life is more like a series of weather events ― a heatwave, a squall, a shower, an Indian summer. We desire constancy, but we are more like air and water, gas and heat, currents and fronts. We should approach our beliefs with a healthy, amused skepticism, always ready with an umbrella for life’s unpredictable storms. 我们过早地将自己的身份刻板化，宣称“这就是我，永远都是”，从而踉跄前行。但生活更像是一系列气候变化——热浪、暴风雨、阵雨或是深秋的回暖天。我们渴望稳定，但我们更像是空气和水、气体和热量、洋流和气团。我们应该以一种健康、带一点幽默的怀疑态度来看待我们的信念，随时准备好一把伞，来应对生活中不可预测的风暴。【词汇】1. etch v. 雕刻，铭记2. fickle adj. 多变的，不稳定的3. permanence n. 永久，持久4. tempestuous adj. 暴风雨般的，动荡的5. fleeting adj. 短暂的，一闪而过的6. provisional adj. 临时的，暂时的7. serotonin n. 血清素（神经递质，亦影响情绪等）8. interplay n. 相互影响，相互作用9. devoid adj. 缺乏的，完全没有的10. fathom v. 理解，彻底明白11. falter v. 蹒跚，犹豫，畏缩不前12. squall n. 狂风暴雨，突然的一阵13.

TRANSCRIPTUse Habit Stacking to Help Get HealthyA woman in Portland, Oregon started her daily exercise habit with one activity — walking her dog. Lindsay Kee then added movements to this daily activity. (Q1) Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. On her return, she did other exercises such as jumping jacks.jumping jacks 开合跳Over time, Kee added more exercises around the dog walk. She said adding exercises to an existing activity took the pressure off of creating a whole new daily exercise. And now more than a year later, she consistently exercises around the dog walk.Kee said, “I’ve found it to be really effective in helping me be consistent with things that I really want to do.”What Kee did is called habit stacking. Writer S.J. Scott created this term for his 2014 book of the same name. (Q2) The idea behind habit stacking is to attach something you want to start doing to something you already do every day.habit stacking 习惯叠加A common example is flossing your teeth after brushing them. However, you can use habit stacking in many areas of your daily life. Kee, for example, places her vitamins next to the coffee machine. This helps her remember to take them every morning.Exercise experts say habit stacking is especially helpful if you are trying to increase exercise time.Dana Santas is a movement expert who has trained more than 50 professional sports teams. She combines exercise habits with personal health care. (Q3) For example, Santas does push-ups before every shower. And she does leg exercises while brushing her teeth. She says that her electric toothbrush makes a sound every 30 seconds to remind her to brush different teeth. But she uses the reminder to change her exercises. “It’s perfect,” she added.push-up n. 俯卧撑Two minutes of exercise may not get you in shape. But experts say, every little bit helps. (Q4) Experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest getting 150 minutes of moderate activity, like a fast walk, every week. Or you could also get 75 minutes of very energetic activity, like jogging, every week. The health experts also suggest two days a week of strength training.moderate adj. 适度的，中等强度的Most people find keeping new habits difficult. And while habit stacking is not a perfect solution, it does help with one barrier — decision-making.Gretchen Rubin is the writer of Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives. She said habit stacking is one of the best ways to start and keep new habits. The technique helps to remove the barrier of deciding when or if to do something.Rubin shared a story of her college days. To help her stay active, she would only shower if she had exercised that day.She suggested combining the new, or what she calls “shaky” behavior with something you have to do or deeply want to do.(Q5) “So you have to do the shaky habit before you get to the strong habit,” Rubin said. (Q5) If she wants to listen to a podcast, her strong habit, she must do it while exercising on a running machine. For her, this will strengthen her shaky habit.Part III. KEYQ1. B. 细节题。题目出处为：Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. 意为：在开始遛狗前，她会做一些站立伸展运动。这表明Kee最初通过在遛狗前做站立伸展运动来培养锻炼的习惯。因此答案是B。Q2.

TRANSCRIPTWhat Is ‘Cozy Cardio?’A new kind of exercise idea is becoming popular in the United States. (Q1) Social media is bringing attention to “cozy cardio”. It means doing light cardiovascular exercise at home. cardio n. 有氧运动cardiovascular adj. 心血管的Physical inactivity and “cozy cardio” Physical inactivity is a problem in the United States. (Q2) The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says 25 percent of Americans reported they had not done any physical activity in the past month. The CDC says that one in two American adults do not get enough cardiovascular exercise. Inactivity can have serious health effects. So, many Americans are looking to develop a new exercise habit.Cozy cardio“Cozy cardio” has gained popularity as an easy and painless way to increase physical activity levels. (Q3) This method of calorie burning has gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram ever since a woman named Hope Zuckerbrow began posting videos in late 2022. Cozy cardio involves walking in place by using a small treadmill or “walking pad”. No gym payments are involved. “I get so many messages from men and women - so many people - saying something along the lines of ‘thank you so much for...flipping my mindset on what I thought exercise is supposed to be,’” Zuckerbrow said. “This feels so doable.”mindset n. 观念模式；思维倾向Building the habitSupporters say what is important about “cozy cardio” is the setup. You wear comfortable clothes and organize your environment to your liking. You can light candles, have a healthy drink, or even put on a favorite TV show or movie. Alex Montoye of Alma College said, for some people, easy exercise such as “cozy cardio” could help them develop an exercise habit. (Q4) Montoye said for people who would otherwise watch TV while sitting, walking can help them make progress. That is especially true if exercise becomes a habit. People struggle to make healthy habits last over time. That is why cozy exercise is such a good idea, said Catherine Sanderson of Amherst College in Massachusetts. She wrote the health book, The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity. “It fits in with a lot of what we know about how to get people to actually maintain behavior change”, Sanderson said. Along with removing the barriers to exercise, she said, “It very much relies on what psychologists would call positive reinforcement - the idea of, ‘It’s not just that I'm exercising...I’m tapping into something I want to be doing already.” As cozy cardio becomes more popular, Zuckerbrow said she hears from people who did not realize they could enjoy easy exercise. Alyssa Royse, owner of Rocket Community Fitness in Seattle, has been mixing workouts at her gym and cozy exercise at home. Some days she turns off the sound on her Peloton exercise bicycle and watches TV because it takes her “brain somewhere else.” “Too many people look at exercise as an all-or-nothing thing,” Royse said. “It doesn’t give people room to just be where they are today. And I think that’s incredibly important.” I’m John Russell.longevity n. 长寿；长命Part III. KEYQ1. C. 细节题。文章中提到：“It means doing light cardiovascular exercise at home.”意为：“舒适有氧运动指的是在家进行轻微的心血管运动”。因此答案为C。Q2. A. 细节题。文章中提到：“The most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says 25 percent of Americans reported they had not done any physical activity in the past month.”意为：“疾病控制预防中心（CDC）的最新数据显示，有25%的美国人报告说他们在过去一个月内没有进行任何身体活动。”A选项正确。因此答案为A。Q3. D. 细节题。文章中提到：“This method of calorie burning has gained popularity on TikTok and Instagram ever since a woman named Hope Zuckerbrow began posting videos in late 2022.”意为：“自从一位名叫Hope Zuckerbrow的女士在2022年底开始发布视频以来，这种燃烧卡路里的方法在TikTok和Instagram上变得流行起来。”可知，是Hope Zuckerbrow在社交媒体平台上推广了“舒适有氧运动”的概念。因此答案为D。Q4. B. 细节题。文章中提到：“Montoye said for people who would otherwise watch TV while sitting, walking can help them make progress.”意为：“Montoye表示，对于那些本来会坐着看电视的人来说，走路可以帮助他们取得进步。”可知Alex Montoye认为“舒适有氧运动”有助于习惯性坐着看电视的人取得进步。因此答案为B。Q5. B. 主旨题。整篇文章介绍“舒适有氧运动”的概念，它能帮助人们在家中以轻松的方式提高身体活跃度，并可形成长期的锻炼习惯。文章强调了简单、可行的锻炼方式对养成锻炼习惯的重要性，而不是争议、减重或设备成本等话题。因此，文章的主要观点是提供了一种培养锻炼习惯的替代方法。答案为B。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTUse Habit Stacking to Help Get HealthyA woman in Portland, Oregon started her daily exercise habit with one activity — walking her dog. Lindsay Kee then added movements to this daily activity. (Q1) Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. On her return, she did other exercises such as jumping jacks.jumping jacks 开合跳Over time, Kee added more exercises around the dog walk. She said adding exercises to an existing activity took the pressure off of creating a whole new daily exercise. And now more than a year later, she consistently exercises around the dog walk.Kee said, “I’ve found it to be really effective in helping me be consistent with things that I really want to do.”What Kee did is called habit stacking. Writer S.J. Scott created this term for his 2014 book of the same name. (Q2) The idea behind habit stacking is to attach something you want to start doing to something you already do every day.habit stacking 习惯叠加A common example is flossing your teeth after brushing them. However, you can use habit stacking in many areas of your daily life. Kee, for example, places her vitamins next to the coffee machine. This helps her remember to take them every morning.Exercise experts say habit stacking is especially helpful if you are trying to increase exercise time.Dana Santas is a movement expert who has trained more than 50 professional sports teams. She combines exercise habits with personal health care. (Q3) For example, Santas does push-ups before every shower. And she does leg exercises while brushing her teeth. She says that her electric toothbrush makes a sound every 30 seconds to remind her to brush different teeth. But she uses the reminder to change her exercises. “It’s perfect,” she added.push-up n. 俯卧撑Two minutes of exercise may not get you in shape. But experts say, every little bit helps. (Q4) Experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest getting 150 minutes of moderate activity, like a fast walk, every week. Or you could also get 75 minutes of very energetic activity, like jogging, every week. The health experts also suggest two days a week of strength training.moderate adj. 适度的，中等强度的Most people find keeping new habits difficult. And while habit stacking is not a perfect solution, it does help with one barrier — decision-making.Gretchen Rubin is the writer of Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives. She said habit stacking is one of the best ways to start and keep new habits. The technique helps to remove the barrier of deciding when or if to do something.Rubin shared a story of her college days. To help her stay active, she would only shower if she had exercised that day.She suggested combining the new, or what she calls “shaky” behavior with something you have to do or deeply want to do.(Q5) “So you have to do the shaky habit before you get to the strong habit,” Rubin said. (Q5) If she wants to listen to a podcast, her strong habit, she must do it while exercising on a running machine. For her, this will strengthen her shaky habit.Part III. KEYQ1. B. 细节题。题目出处为：Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. 意为：在开始遛狗前，她会做一些站立伸展运动。这表明Kee最初通过在遛狗前做站立伸展运动来培养锻炼的习惯。因此答案是B。Q2. C. 主旨题。题目出处为：The idea behind habit stacking is to attach something you want to start doing to something you already do every day. 意为：习惯叠加背后的理念在于，将你想要开始做的事与你每天已经在做的事联系起来。因此答案是C。Q3.

B. 细节题。题目出处为：If she (Rubin) wants to listen to a podcast, her strong habit, she must do it while exercising on a running machine. 意为：如果她想听播客——这是她常有的习惯，她必须在跑步机上锻炼时听。因此答案是B。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

第12届教学大赛英语专业组特等奖胡笑然说课

说课点评：胡笑然老师在说课环节清晰地表达了对所给文章的文本理解和基于语篇主题意义探究而开展教学的基本认识。在拿到文章后的短暂时间内，该选手对语篇进行了审读，并在此基础上快速构思了90分钟的教学设计，形成了基本的教学步骤。根据教学设计，胡老师计划选择与语篇主题相关的短视频为导入，激发学生的学习兴趣；然后以解读语篇为抓手，对语篇的主题、结构、语言、文体等方面进行分析。胡老师按照学生“学后能做”为目的，确定本课的教学目标并介绍了具体的教学步骤。她在教学设计中体现了自己的教学理念和对课文的独到见解，将课文分为三个部分，对每一部分的内容和结构进行了必要的讲解。通过解析语篇的主题，确定了语篇的中心思想，之后列举了语篇的核心概念、关键名词以及相关修饰词及其功能。胡老师将教学目标设定为学生“能做”，即能够理解语篇的主题意义，能够发现篇章结构的特征，能够与话题相同但来源不同的同类文章进行对比从而激发学生的批判性思维，能够从文章的体裁、结构、修辞等方面学习、理解和掌握语篇的关键词语，以及作者对关键概念的词语修饰和语言表达。教学设计安排了学生的小组讨论，要求学生形成有具体步骤的思维导图和概念关联，并在课堂上融入思政元素，并进行必要的陈述。最后一个环节为开放性的讨论，引导学生对不同的观点进行评论。胡老师基于丰富的教学经验和对学情的分析判断，对教学目的、教学重点、教学环节以及设计缘由作了清晰的陈述，显示了其对教学语篇的基本认识和语篇教学娴熟的驾驭能力。说课目的明确，条理清晰，设计突出主题，有一定的感染力，突出学生主体，采用活动途径，倡导体验参与，重视培养学生批判性思维和论说能力，所设计的教学环节有较好的可操作性。从整体上看，胡笑然老师有较高的人文素养和自己的教学风格，语言流畅，表述准确，知识面较广，该说课达到了较高的水准。不过胡笑然老师的时间把控不佳，说课缺乏完整性，强调篇章结构和概念理解，但忽略了教学评的一致性和一体化设计。建议她在今后的教学设计中更加重视学生在语言知识、语言技能、文化内涵、思维心智、情感态度等方面的综合发展和有效评价，积极采用探究式、任务型、交互性的教学方法，加强课外作业的安排和指导，促进学生在语言能力、人文素养、科学思维等方面的同步发展。点评专家：梅德明

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌说课

说课点评：在30分钟的准备时间里，读完、理解一篇800多词的商务英语文章，记住文章的结构和要点，设计出一套有理论指导、教学理念清晰、目标合理、结构完整、方法得当，最好再带点创新的教学方案，然后在10分钟的时间里，用英语条理清晰地把它展示出来，这对任何商务英语教师来讲都是一项重大的挑战。潘紫萌老师首先分析了课文，根据内容将其解构成三大部分。选手将第二部分（第3-8段）归纳成 promotion, price and place 和将第三部分（第9段）归纳成对计划进入中国市场的外国企业的忠告，这都是正确的。但是，她把第一部分（第1-2段）归纳成product，进而把前两部分归纳成营销学中著名的4P战略，这种做法有待商榷。因为课文的第1段主要讲两个问题：1）营销战略如何在中国成功，2）这些战略如何根据中国人的喜好以及对产品或服务的认知进行调整，而不是具体的产品。也许是准备的时间非常紧迫，选手对课文的理解和归纳出现了偏差。然后，潘老师分析了学生的特点。在教学模式上，她采取以学生为中心、以产出为导向的教学模式。其教学目标包括商务英语知识、商务技能和伦理价值。在具体的教学方法上，她例举了基于任务的教学、基于讨论的教学、案例教学、学生参与的测评等，并强调要综合利用线上线下教学资源。在学习测评上，她采用师生共同参与的方式，以增强教学效果。至于具体的教学步骤，她采用BOPPPS模式，再加课后作业。以上教学方案应该说中规中矩，显示出潘老师对商务英语教学的理论、模式、方法和测评等各要素有比较全面的了解。潘老师最亮眼的表现是在10分钟的时间里，用流利的英语将其教学方案展现出来，而且条理清晰，相关的教学理论、教学方法、商务知识、商务案例均了然于胸，信手拈来，同时口到手到，同步将所讲内容写到白板上，手起笔落，一气呵成。在提问阶段，潘老师的表现依旧出色，理解到位，回答中肯，表现出较高的英语基本功和商务、人文素养。不过有的回答可以再精炼一些。比如在回答第一个问题时，把EGP，EOP，EAP，ESP 的定义都讲了一遍，有点啰嗦。总而言之，潘紫萌在说课中表现突出，是一位素质比较全面、经验比较丰富的优秀商务英语教师。点评专家：陈准民
