Teaching procedures:
StepⅠLead-in
Activity 1　Read this advertisement that was posted by a famous British explorer and discuss the following questions with your group members.

1.What does “small wages” mean?Do you think there could be many people who would work hard but not caring much about wages?Why?
2.What is the meaning of “bitter cold” here?What kind of men do you think could overcome the bitter cold?
3.What kind of men was Ernest Shackleton looking for?Use your own words to describe them.
4.If you saw an advertisement like this,would you like to join the expedition?Why or why not?
Suggested answers:
1.“Small wages” means very low salary.Definitely many people who don’t care much about money and pursue their dream of adventure will apply for the job.
2.“Bitter cold” means extremely cold or freezing cold.The person who must be fit and adapt to the extreme weather conditions could overcome the bitter cold.
3.He is looking for men who were not interested in money or comfort,but in honour and achievement,which can’t be bought.
4.I would like to join an expedition like this.Although it would be extremely tough,the sense of achievement I would get from doing it would be worth it.I don’t think I could get the same feeling from anything else.

第一篇日记中关于Shackleton的描写:“Shackleton turned me down because he thought I was too young and wasn’t qualified.” From the sentence we can infer that Shackleton was a responsible leader.Obviously he really needed people to work for him,but the expedition was very dangerous for new hands.
同时第一篇日记关于Blackborow的描写: “But I was so enthusiastic about the idea of going along with them that I secretly went...” From the sentence we can infer Blackborow is so determined to join the expedition.

2.What does “success” and “failure” refer to respectively?
