23、ges have taken place in Chinese family life in the past twenty years. In my parents words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appli-ances in their home. Their f
24、ood was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family in China today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped
25、with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country.
26、 Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.(194 words)- 9 - Appendix IUnit 2Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are going to listen

30、to study is all about civil-rights heroes. The song you have just heard is about four of them. Can you guess who they are? All are American. All are dead, all, as the song says, “gone“. How about Abraham? Dion says he freed a lot of people. Thats one clue. Another comes when she quotes the proverb:
31、“the good die young.“ So it seems Abraham died young. My guess is Dion has in mind Abraham Lincoln, the American president who freed the slaves and was assassi-nated. How about John, another leader who helped people to free themselves? He too died young. Can you guess who it might be? President John
32、 F. Kennedy seems most likely. He too supported civil rights. He too died young, assassinated like Lincoln.Now who could Martin be? Another civil-rights leader who died young, once again assassi-nated. A great speaker comes to mind. Who do you think? Martin Luther King, surely. And finally, Bobby. B
33、obby who? Probably Dion is thinking of Bobby Kennedy, John Kennedys brother, another supporter of civil rights. He was running for president when, like his brother before him, he too was gunned down.- 96 - Appendix IPart II Text AText Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-5 It is
