Unit 10 Section A I. Background Knowledge 1. Robert Schuller a Christian minister known worldwide for his church, the Crystal Cathedral made of glass and steel, and the Hour of Power church service which has been on television every week for over 30 years. 2. CNN CNN is also called Cable News Network, which is a subsidiary company of Turner Broadcasting Systems. It was created by Ted Turner in 1980 to present 24-hour live new broadcasts, using satellites to transmit reports from news bureaus around the world. CNN became prominent in 1991 with its coverage of the Persian Gulf War. The company also operates the newa channels Headline News and CNN International. 3. Hamlet Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, is probably the best known of William Shakespeare’s works, and may well be the most famous English-language play ever written. Categorized as one of Shakespeare’s “later tragedies”, Hamlet and its namesake hero display fully the mature Bard’s extraordinary talents. But while Hamlet has been the subject of admiring critical commentary since Elizabethan times, it has also developed a reputation as a different work to analyze. The character of Hamlet is one of the most compelling characters ever rising from the pages of English literature. As Shakespeare’s play opens, Hamlet is mourning his father, who has been killed, and lamenting the behavior of his mother, Gertrude, who marries his uncle Claudius within a month of his father’s death. Prince Hamlet devotes himself to avenging his father’s death, but, because he is contemplative and thoughtful by nature, he delays, entering into a deep melancholy and even apparent madness. II. Text Analysis Main idea of the text: The author puts forward, as a good test for honesty, the “Integrity Triangle”: first, standing firmly for your convictions when confronted with pressure; second, always giving other people the praise they merit; third, being honest and open about who you are. Devices for developing it: 1. Listing(列举法) General statement: A good test for this value is to apply what I call the “Integrity Triangle”, which consists of three key principles. (Para. 3) Specific statements: 1) Stand firmly for your convictions when confronted with personal pressure. (Para. 4) 2) Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. (Para. 9) 3) Be honest and open about who you really are. (Para. 12) 2. Exemplification ( 例证法)
The author of this passage argues for the "Integrity Triangle "with three principles. Two of the principles are respectively supported by an example The principle Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Dont be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are. (Para. 9) An example to support the principle David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy Mather, clarified this point to his newly appointed office heads by sending each of them a Russian nesting doll with five progressively smaller figures inside His message was contained in the smallest doll: If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy Mather will become a company of giants. " And that is precisely what O&M became - one of the largest and most respected advertising organizations in the world Now have a look at Para. 4-7 and fill out the charts below to see how this segment is The principle Stand firmly for your convictions when confronted with personal pressure An example to support the principle There's a story told about a surgical nurse's assistance during her first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible for ensuring that all surgical instruments and materials were accounted for during an operation The nurse said to the surgeon, ""Youve only removed ll sponges, and we used 12. We need to find the last one. I removed them all, the surgeon assured her. " We'll close now You can't do that, sir, " protested the nurse. "Think of the patient Smiling the surgeon lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge. ""You'll do st fine in this or any other hospital, "he assured her Structure Part I((para. 1-2) Idea: Honesty or integrity involves having a personal standard of morality and boundaries that does not sell out to convenience and that is not relative to the situation at hand Devices for developing it: Citation(引证法) The author cites his grandparents' case as an introduction to his main idea of the "Integrity Triangle My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. There was no middle point. They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: "Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show. They didnt have to talk about it they demonstrated this truth by their life style.

The author of this passage argues for the “Integrity Triangle” with three principles. Two of the principles are respectively supported by an example. The principle: Always give others credit that is rightfully theirs. Don’t be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.(Para. 9) An example to support the principle: David Ogilvy, founder of the advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather, clarified this point to his newly appointed office heads by sending each of them a Russian nesting doll with five progressively smaller figures inside. His message was contained in the smallest doll: “If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, Ogilvy & Mather will become a company of giants.” And that is precisely what O&M became -- one of the largest and most respected advertising organizations in the world. Now have a look at Para.4 - 7 and fill out the charts below to see how this segment is organized. The principle: Stand firmly for your convictions when confronted with personal pressure. An example to support the principle: There’s a story told about a surgical nurse’s assistance during her first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital. She was responsible for ensuring that all surgical instruments and materials were accounted for during an operation. The nurse said to the surgeon, “You’ve only removed 11 sponges, and we used 12. We need to find the last one.” “I removed them all,” the surgeon assured her. “We’ll close now.” “You can’t do that, sir,” protested the nurse. “Think of the patient.” Smiling, the surgeon lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge. “You’ll do just fine in this or any other hospital,” he assured her. Structure: Part I ((para.1-2) Idea: Honesty or integrity involves having a personal standard of morality and boundaries that does not sell out to convenience and that is not relative to the situation at hand. Devices for developing it: Citation (引证法) The author cites his grandparents’ case as an introduction to his main idea of the “Integrity Triangle”. My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. There was no middle point. They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show.” They didn’t have to talk about it; they demonstrated this truth by their life style.(Para. 1) Part II (Para.3-13) Idea: The author argues for the “Integrity Triangle” with three principles: stand firmly for your convictions under whatever pressure; give others credit they deserve; and be honest about yourself. Devices for developing it: Deduction ( 演绎法)(Para. 12-13)

Deduction ( 演绎法) Specific argumentations: People who lack genuine core values rely on external factors — their looks or status — in order to feel good about themselves. Inevitably they will do everything they can to preserve this false mask, but they will do very little to enhance their inner value and personal growth. So be yourself. Don’t engage in a personal cover-up of areas that are unpleasing in your life. “Tough times never last but tough people do,” as Robert Schuller says.
