Don't quit When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit. 请别放弃 情势时而不顺利，此乃意中之事, 举步维艰向上时, 口袋空空，债台高筑时, 想要微笑却得叹息时, 忧虑重重压住时, 必要之时请休息, 但你别放弃. 埃德加·阿尔伯特·盖斯特(Edgar Albert Guest, 1881 – 1959）是20世纪上半叶一位高产的美国诗人，以“人民诗人”著称。 3 Life is queer with its twists and turns. As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don' t give up though the pace seems slow- You may succeed with another blow. 命运起伏多古怪, 尽管有时会知道, (意指有时我们也没了解到命运多变性质) 只要坚持就胜利 有人却转身离去 脚步放慢没关系 但请千万别放弃 还差一击就胜利 Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you never can tell just how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. 反转之间定成败 疑云后面是曙光 距离成功多近 你却从来不自知 也许只在咫尺，也许遥不可及; 即使遭到最重击，也要坚持不放弃 情况变得再糟糕 也要挺住不放弃 4 What 's the key message conveyed in the poem? Faced with difficulties, you shouldn’t give up. Stick to your dreams, and you will succeed. 5 Lead-in&Pre-reading Lead-in Pre-reading 1.Share what you know about these people.

A lot of successful writers have previously faced rejection. These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. dread disappointed self-doubt upset 1 “We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s work, yet still this is often not enough. Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight, but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection. “我们抱歉地通知您……” 这句话对每个作家而言既害怕又熟悉。出版商给了反馈，作家急切地拆开来读，但读到这最后一句，心随即跌落谷底。你可能已经花费数年时间，放弃了周末和空闲时间去创作你的毕生作品，但这往往还不够。大家都明白，成功不是一蹴而就的；但也许很多人都不知道，许多卓越的作家也都曾被拒稿。 J.K. Rowling Harry Potter series She was told that her book was too difficult, too long and not interesting for children; It was rejected twelve times by publishers. Harry Potter became a global success. “too difficult for children” “too long” “Children would not be interested in it” Comments from publishers: What do the numbers stand for? 12 400 million 70 500 rejected 12 times agreed to print 500 copies sold 400 million books translated into more than 70 different languages J. K. Rowling turned her rejection into a success. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen”— J.K. Rowling Read the passage and answer the questions. 1. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. As long as we stick to writing, we can all become writers. B. It is very normal for many writers to receive rejections of their works. C.The publisher's reply will be a delight to the author. D. The more successful a writer is, the more rejection letters he receives. 2. How did J.K.Rowling react when she received her first rejection letter? A. She thought her work was too difficult for children. B. She no longer wanted to be a writer again. C. She continued to write her novel all her time. D. She decided to print 500 copies of her first book. 2 Take for example J.K. Rowling. When she received her first rejection letter, she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers, and stuck it on her kitchen wall. Rowling had spent years surviving on little money, spending all her time writing. When she finally finished her first book, she received comments from publishers along the lines of "too difficult for children", "too long", "Children would not be interested in it" Nevertheless, she persevered. "I wasn't going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen," she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global success, with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages. 以J.K. 罗琳为例。当她收到第一封拒稿信时，她决定把这看作是自己与喜爱的作家之间有了共同之处，并把这封信贴在厨房的墙上。罗琳过了很多年拮据的生活，她把所有时间都用在写作上。当她终于完成第一本书时，出版商给出的评价却是“对孩子来说太难理解””太长”“孩子们不会对它感兴趣"等等。尽管如此，她还是坚持了下来。“我不会放弃的，除非所有的出版商都拒绝我。不过我常常担心这真的会发生。“她后来说。在收到12封拒稿信后，终于有一家出版商同意将她的第一本书印刷500册。我们都知道，《哈利-波特》后来在全球大获成功，销量超过4亿册，被翻译成了70多种不同的语言。 The Catcher in the Rye He received criticism and rejections from several publishers. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” The book became an immediate best-seller and went on millions and millions of copies. J.D. Salinger Comments from publishers: 3 All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. J.D. Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. “We feel that we don’t know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye. Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millions of copies. 伟大作品的作家也常常在被回绝的同时还要遭受批评。J.D.塞林格从高中就开始写短篇小说了，但之后他的作品却难以发表。“我们觉得自己无法充分理解主人公。”这是他的《麦田里的守望者》的手稿收到的批评。即使被多家出版商回绝，J.D.塞林格也从未放弃。甚至在二战期间在美国陆军服役时，他还随身携带了《麦田里的守望者》一书的六章内容，并在整个服役期间一直致力于小说的修改。最终，这本书一经出版，便立刻成为畅销书，卖出了上千万册。 Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey Their novels are regarded as classics of world literature. Women were not encouraged to become writers at that time. Their book of poems which they wrote under male names sold only two copies. “Literature cannot be the business of a woman’s life, and it ought not to be.” Comments from publishers: “I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends...” — Jane Eyre Bronte sisters to understand the sentence? “我崇尚忍耐、坚毅、勤奋、天赋；因为只有依靠这些，人们才能实现宏大的目标……” 4 Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them: "Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be." Nevertheless, the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn't give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: "I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent; because these are the means by which men achieve great ends... 也许坚持不懈的最高荣誉应该颁给来自英国维多利亚时代的三姐妹。她们梦想着看到自己的作品出版。然而，这是一个不鼓励女性成为作家的时代。正如当时的桂冠诗人罗伯特·骚塞在给她们其中一位的信中所说：“文学不可能也不应该成为女人的事业。”尽管如此，三姐妹并没有放弃尝试。她们的应对方式是以男性名字为笔名写了一本诗集。虽然这本诗集只卖出了两册，但她们还是没有放弃，转而开始写小说。如今，夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简·爱》、艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》和安妮·勃朗特的《艾格妮丝·格雷》被认为是世界文学的经典之作。其实，这正印证了我们在《简·爱》中读到的：“我崇尚忍耐、坚毅、勤奋、天赋；因为只有依靠这些方法，人们才能实现宏大的目标……” Perseverance is the key to success. Success=__________+___________+___________+____________ talent hard work a touch of luck perseverance Read the passage and answer the questions. 3. Why did J.D.Salinger carry six chapters of his book with him? A. He wanted to relax himself on the battlefield. B. He wanted to read his work to his comrades in the army. C. He knew that his book would be loved by the soldiers. D. He did not give up his dream of writing. 4. Who wrote the novel Jane Eyre? A. Charlotte B. Robert C. Anne D. Emily 5. What does the author think is the most important factor to success? A. Perseverance B. Talent. C. Publishers D. Rejections 5 So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...” 因此，似乎仅凭天赋不足以保证成功。不懈的努力和一点点运气固然很重要，但坚持不懈才是关键。坚持下去，你终会收到这样的回复：“我们高兴地通知您……” Post-reading Despite rejections from several publishers, J.D. Salinger refused to give up. What can we learn from these writers? “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen.” — J.K. Rowling Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn’t give up. Attitude matters! Although life is ups and downs, we should never give up. Perseverance is the key to success. 1. What is the function of the writing skill? To introduce the new topic Mirror 2. Why does the author use them within the passage? The author intends to begin with the negative theme of rejection, but then reveal that perseverance can turn a bad beginning into a positive end. 我从来就没有很顺利过，被拒绝很正常，但是被拒绝不等于我就要放弃！——马云 Language points “We regret to inform you...” These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it, their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence.
