part 2: teaching resources (第二部分:教學資源)i. background readings——time (美國人的時間觀)what is time? is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? is time the same all over the world? that's an easy question, you say. wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. well, maybe. but in america, time is more than that. americans see time as a valuable resource. maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "time is money." because americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. people in the u.s. often attend seminars or read books on time management. it seems they all want to organize their time better. professionals carry around pocket planners-some in electronic form-to keep track of appointments and deadlines. people do all they can to squeeze more life out of their time. the early american hero benjamin franklin expressed this view best: "do you love life? then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."to americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. people who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. at informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. but they usually don't try that at work.ii. fun materials——holes and coversonce san diego was badly flooded. some residents suggested removing manhole covers to speed up the draining of rain flooded streets. that sounded a good idea. however, it made matters worse because the underground system was flooded too. several covers became lost in knee-deep water, and police were called in to help.“we’re picked up the lost covers all right.” one officer asked headquarters. “now how do we find the holes?”back came the order: “that’s easy. walk till you fall in.”iii word studies 1.strict(stricter, strictest)   a. 1.嚴格的；嚴謹的精確的；正確的 exact; accurate: the men who make the parts of an airplane must use strict measurements.  制造飛機零件的工人必須使用精確的量具。2.完全的；絕對的 perfect; absolute:  they were married in strict privacy.  他們極為秘密地結婚了。the library insists upon strict silence. 圖書館要求絕對肅靜。
