ⅠLeading In

1. Of the four Chinese classical novels, which have you already read? 2. What kind of books do you like?

II Key Points:

1. It was just a small room that was dominated by a television set. Meaning: A television set occupied much of the space in this small room. 2. My generation, the generation that came of age in the 1950s and 1960s, may be the last to appreciate being surrounded by millions of words working together to create plots of every kind.

Meaning: My generation reached the age of adult in the 1950s and 1960s. And we may be the last generation who like being surrounded by a large number of books telling all kinds of stories.

3. These days, in the 1970s, we are seeing a gradual, but unmistakable, movement away from such things.

Meaning: These days, in the 1970s, there is a definite tendency, slow though it might be, that fewer and fewer people are buying and reading books.

4. The book —a precious symbol of the permanence of thought, the handing down of wisdom from one generation to the next —may be a new addition to our list of endangered species.

Meaning: The book is regarded as a valuable symbol of keeping human ideas for ever and of passing on knowledge from one generation to the next. Now it may well be another thing that is going to disappear, just like many other species.

5. He says that he can certainly notice the changing of the tides just by looking at the things students are buying, and not buying, right now. Meaning: He says that he can surely notice the changing tendencies just by looking at what students are buying and not buying right now.

6. Recently, the head of the University of Illinois's branch campus in Chicago reinforced the reality of such a problem in saying that 10 percent of the freshmen at his university could read no better than the average student in elementary school.

Meaning: Recently, the president of the Chicago branch of the University of Illinois emphasized the existence of such a problem. He said that the reading ability of 10 percent of the first-year students at his university was only equal to that of average students in elementary school.

7. As sad a statement as this is, there is something that will frighten you even more: of those same college freshmen, the chancellor reported

that many had ranked in the top half of their high school classes! Meaning: While this concept might be a sad one, the president pointed out something even more shocking. That is, among the same freshmen at his university who were mentioned above, many were in the better half in their high school classes.

8. A first-rate work of fiction, for instance, if it has any luck at all, will sell perhaps 3, 000 copies in its first run.

Meaning: A well-written first class novel, for example, if it is lucky, will sell perhaps 3,000 copies in its first printing.

9. To listen to a record, to sit through a movie, to watch cartoons, on television — these activities all require nothing of the cultural consumer, save his mere presence.

Meaning: To listen to music, to watch movies, or to watch cartoons on television requires no intellectual efforts on the part of the audience; what these activities need is simply that you are present at such events. The \consumer\refers to a person who pays for the music, movies and cartoons he/she finds entertaining.

10. Reading a book, though, requires that the consumer become an active participant.

Meaning: Reading a book, however, demands that you read actively. Please notice the subjunctive mood used in the thatclause after \在表示命令、决定、建议等词语（如insist, order, decide, suggest, demand, command, advise, instruct, request）之后的由“+that”引导的从句中，不管主语是什么人称，动词一律用“原型”或“should+原型”。 More examples:

He ordered that the books (should) be sent to his office at once. 他要求必须马上将这些书送到他的办公室。 Mary insisted that John (should) come. 玛丽坚持要约翰来。

I suggested that he (should) finish up that project quickly. 我建议他尽快将项目做完。

11. If a young American reads at all, he is far more likely to purchase a book, give it a quick inspection, and then throw it away.

Meaning: If a young American does read something, he will quite probably buy a book, read it through quickly and then put it aside. 12. Ultimately, in an age when everything seems to be disposable, the book one keeps and reads time and again is nothing more than a primitive item from the past with little or no place in a society that is always on the go.

Meaning: Finally, in a time when everything can be thrown away after being used, the book a person keeps and reads repeatedly is just an outdated thing with little or no place in a society that is always busy and fast-paced.
