（2）to stress the sharks were strong andfierce

（3）He felt something seize the club and it was gone.

3.（ 1）The old fisherman is bound to fail.

（2）“It” means the battle between the old fisherman and the pack of sharks and it also means that he loses everything.

（3）The story suggests a complex and sometimes adversarial relationship between humans and nature， as represented by the sharks and the sea.

Read for figures

（2）jerked

（3）beat and chopped

（4）lunged

（5）calm

（6）sailed lightly

（3）Values of resilience， determination，and the comfort of home are emphasized in the story.

Deep understanding

1. It doesnt contradict the fishermans“tough” image. It is the instinct of everyfighter who runs out of energy to fight tohave a brief hesitation and fear， but whenfacing emergency， he does not hesitate tofight， which makes the character more real.At the same time， the unbeaten spirit is notonly reflected in the fight between the oldman and the shark， but also in the innerstruggle where he is shaky， suspicious andwants to compromise. The victory of thiskind of struggle explains the real value ofthe unbeaten spirit—one cannot be defeatedby himself.

2. From the secular point of view， the oldman may be a loser. But actually， he is a“tough guy” who does not bow to fate， awarrior who fights bravely with courage，perseverance and wisdom no matter howdifficult the environment is and a personwho defends the“ dignity of human soul”.He is a loser， a failed hero and a“ tough”man.

Postreading activity

1. What is success？ Everyone canhave his own opinion. As far as Imconcerned， success is to be yourself—follow your inner enthusiasm， do what youwant to do， and live in the way you want.

2. Struggling in trouble， I should haveunyielding faith in myself， the courage toface challenges， unwavering determinationand invincible dignity. Because man is notmade for defeat—a man can be destroyedbut not defeated.

3. You are just an ordinary fishermanon the deep sea. When the waves roll， younever flinch. When sharks strike， younever fear. When difficulties approach，you never blench. When failure comes， youignore it. Nothing can knock you out andnothing can hurt you. You defend the“dignity of human soul” with your action.

If there is one thing in the worldcalled fearlessness， the person who canprove it is Santiago.

If there is something in the worldcalled persistence， the person who owns itis Santiago.

If there is a kind of person called ahero， his name is Santiago.

Paragraph 1：

Finally， I arrived at Room 512. Iturned the key in the lock and pushed thedoor a little open， with Dad still complainingabout his hurting knee or something. Iput my head in， expecting the worst. Butmuch to my surprise， the room wasntempty at all. It was furnished with two setsof desks and chairs， bookshelves， curtains，a TV and several pleasant paintings on thewalls.

Paragraph 2：

And there on a well?made bed sat agirl， my new roommate. She was dressedsimply but neatly. Greeting me with a nod，she said in a soft voice，“ Hi， Im Amy. Youmust be Cori.” Then， she turned down themusic and looked over at Dad， “And ofcourse， youre Mr Faber，” she said smiling.“Would you like a glass of iced tea？”Dad's face turned decidedly less red beforehe could bring out a “yes”. I knew thenthat Amy and I would be friends and myfirst year of college would be a success.
