英语课堂的热闹与冷静
我校与南村中学进行了一次教学交流。听了两节截然不同的两节课可以用热闹与冷静来形容。一节是高一必修2第三单元computers，整个教学设计体现的是学生的主体活动，一节课都是以competition的形式来组织，学生的热情超乎想像，但热闹的背后是什么？一节课下来，我只感受到那种纯粹的热闹，学生学到了什么？学生的什么能力得到了发展？第二节是高二的一节语法训练课。仿佛从喧闹的市场回归宁静的公园，轻柔的音乐，寂静的教室，和之前形成了一种强烈的反差。这节课以广东省2009年英语水平测试的一道语法填空题为载体，通过分析与研究并展开针对性的练习，再到语篇模拟到尝试命题。思路极其清晰，目的很明确。从现象到规则到解题技巧。整个学习过程，学生与老师都是冷静的。同样的学生学到了什么？我得到了答案，学生学到了语法填空的答题技巧与注意事项。学生的什么能力得到了发展？学生分析与解题能力（教师设置了分析与研究的调查表包括考点）解题技巧的专项练习。另外，学生的归纳能力也得到了发展，最后一环的学生尝试命题，学生要命题得熟悉平常的语法填空的考点是什么，还有各考点的分值布置等，学生在挖空的同时也在思考、归纳。但老师的冷静也忽视了学生的另外一种能力的培养，即学生的合作能力，学生的自主探究学习能力，因在整个教学的过程中，教师包办了太多的分析，而不是学生用所学知识去解释，教师教态严肃与学生的回答小声，无疑也阻碍学生表达和创造性的表述。热闹与冷静能否结合？结合的效果会怎样？两节课留给我们的不仅是印象，更是思考。
Keep Your Head头脑要保持冷静！
A young man was working in the produce section of a grocery store when a customer asked him for half a head of cabbage.
有一个年轻人在一家杂货店的农产部门工作，一天一位顾客要向他买半颗包心菜
"Sir, we don't sell half heads of anything. "
“先生，我们东西都没有卖半颗的。”
"Well, I insist; 1 0nly want half a head. "
“哎呀，我就买半颗，我只要半颗。”
"I'll ask the manager. "
“我要问问经理才行。”
The young man walked to the manager's office and, not realizing that the customer had followed him, said to the manager,
那名年轻人走到经理的办公室，不知道那位顾客尾随着他，他对经理说道：
"Sir, some asshole wants to buy just half a head of cabbage. "
“经理，有个浑蛋只要买半颗包心菜。”
Turning and noticing the customer, he quickly added,
他转身发现那名顾客，立刻又补充说：
"And this gentleman wants the other half. "
“而这位先生要买另一半。”
Later, the manager took the young man aside and said,
稍后，经理把他拉到一旁说道：
"That was quick thinking, young fellow. We can use bright lads like you. If I hear of a higher position opening up, I'll keep you in mind. "
“年轻人，你反应真快。我们需要像你这么聪明的人，如果有较高的职位空缺，我会记得你的。”
Sure enough, a few weeks later the manager told the young man that an assistant manager's spot had become vacant in the company's store in Edmonton.
几个星期之后，经理告诉那名年轻人在艾得蒙敦分店有个襄理的职位空缺。
"Edmonton!" blurted out the young man. "Why, there's nothing in Edmonton but hookers and hockey',event)">hockey playersi"
“艾得蒙敦！”年轻人叫了出来，“那儿有的只是（女支）女和曲棍球选手而已。”
"Young man , my wife happens to come from Edmonton! "
“年轻人，我太太刚好来自艾得蒙敦！”
"No kidding, sir; what posltion does she play?"
“真的吗？经理，那她是打哪一个位置呢？”

冷静活着，看淡人生七大冷酷现实
1. No One Is Going to Fix You
没人会来拯救你
If you are waiting for a knight in shining armor to gallop into your life and heal your broken heart, you will be waiting forever. The only person who can help you is yourself. Be happy for the other people in your life, but do not become dependent on them for happiness unlike you like to be on a never-ending emotional roller-coaster that is far beyond the realm of your control.
如果你还在期盼白马王子帅气闯入你的生活、呵护你受伤的心灵，那你只能永远等待下去了。能够救你的人只有你自己。你可以为生活中有人陪伴而开心，但不要因此把幸福完全托付给他们；否则，你的情绪会像不停歇的过山车，永远无法自我控制。
Are you alone? No, far from it. But no one is going to fix you, so it is in your best interest to take personal responsibility for your own life. When you do that, you’ll discover you are more powerful than you ever thought possible.
还是一个人？哈，更残酷的是，不会有谁来拯救你。所以，你最好还是为自己负起责任吧。只有这样，你才会发现自己变得愈加坚强。【冷静英语,】
2. Life Will Never Be Perfect
生活并不完美
If you are waiting for the “right” time to do something — pursue self-employment, begin a fitness plan, dive into the dating pool, or move to a new town — you’re going to be waiting forever. There is no such thing as a “right” time to do anything. This reaction is based on your fear-of-change, plain and simple.
如果你还在等待“最佳时机”去做某事——诸如创业、健身、恋爱或搬去新城市，那你也只能这么等待下去了。世上根本就没有所谓的“最佳时机”，你之所以这么想，完全是因为自己害怕改变，只想简单舒服混日子罢了。
If you keep waiting for that mysterious “perfect time to act” (please tell me, when have you ever experienced such a thing?), this means you will never actually have to take action and confront your fear. Do the scary thing. You will be so glad you did.
如果你一直在等待传说中的“最佳行动时机”（请问，你可曾真正亲身经历过呢？），那你永远都不会直面内心恐惧并拿出行动来。现在就去做“可怕的”事情吧！相信你做了以后绝不会后悔。
3. You Might Fail (a Lot)
你可能会失败（很多次）
If you attempt to achieve an ambitious new goal, then it is possible that you will fall on your face while pursuing said goal. Welcome to reality. It’s time to change your thinking about failure.
如果你雄心万丈想征服新目标，那你极可能在努力的过程中摔得鼻青脸肿。回到现实，改变自己对失败的看法吧。
It is not a big, bad thing that you should be frightened of. Failure is a learning opportunity and nothing more. If successful people quit pursuing their goal after failing the first time they tried something new, then there would be approximately zero successful people ever. There is no such thing as a “hole-in-one” in life. Do you want to know how many times I’ve failed? Over a hundred. 失败并不是多么糟糕透顶的大事，你完全没必要害怕。失败只是一次学习的机会罢了。如果成功的人因刚开始尝试新鲜事物遭遇挫折而放弃梦想，那他们很可能就一事无成，何谈成功二字！生活中从来就没有“一发即中” 这回事。你知道我失败过多少次吗？上百次。
The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything is because I am a firm believer in continuous improvement. If you fail in something, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over the problem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse). Read a good book, catch up with some friends you haven’t seen in a long time, or go on a nature hike. You will be able to look at the issue with a fresh perspective. After you have done that, ask yourself: “Why didn’t this work out and how can I do better next time?”
如果说我确实有所成就的话，那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。遇到挫折时，你可以暂时把问题放一放，一味纠结不仅无济于事，有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番；再回头看待问题，你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后，别忘了多加反省：“为什么这个方法会奏效？下次能不能做得更好呢？”
This process very well could repeat itself several times depending on the nature of your goal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourself, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.
看你定的是什么目标，这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。
4. The Past Is Already Written
过去已成定局
Have you ever made a mistake so monumental that you wish you could go back in time and do it all over again? Join the club. It’s called being human. I know you might feel immense regret, but beating yourself up over something that is already done serves no purpose. Shift your attention to the present, where you can take control of your life and move forward into a better future. 你以前是不是犯过重大错误，以至你真心希望时光倒流、从头再来？得了吧，你只是普普通
通的人而已。或许你悔得肠子都青 了，但盯着过去的事情耿耿于怀又能怎样呢？还是活在当下，经营好现在的生活，努力创造更好的未来吧。
5. Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed
明天是不确定的
Steve Jobs said it best, so I’m going to defer to him for this harsh truth:
史蒂夫·乔布斯说得很好，我引申为下面这个残酷事实：
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.”
“因为意识到自己不久将辞别人世，我竟能更好地做出人生重大抉择。要知道，所有一切——不论是外界期许、个人骄傲、对窘迫或失败的恐惧，在死亡面前都显得毫无意义，唯留下那些真正重要的。”
The next time you catch yourself playing the “I will do it tomorrow” game, remember that tomorrow is not guaranteed. Traffic accidents, heart attacks, and acts of violence do happen. Live in the present and take action today, because that is where progress happens.
下次你再说“明天再做”时，请提醒自己：明天是不确定的。说不定你就会遇到交通事故、心脏病或暴力行为。所以，活在当下，今天就去行动，这样才能取得进步。
