The reason for our success is our people and the way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. When the “way” is followed by a defining relative clause, this clause can be either a “that” clause or a clause beginning with “in which”. For example, you can say “the way she told the story”, “the way that she told the story”, or “the way in which she told the story”. There is no difference in meaning. The way+从句 the way (that) the way in which Difficult sentences in Text A 1. Then he was off to the house, wheeling past the sleepy town square in Bentonville, a remote Arkansas town of 9920, where Sam Walton started with a little dime store that grew into a $6 billion discount chain called Wal-Mart. But just how long Walton can hold firm to his folksy habits with celebrity hunters keeping following him wherever he goes is anyone’s success. But the real story in his mind is the success achieved by the 100,000 people who make up the Wal-Mart team. “The reason for our success,” says Walton, in a company handout, “is our people and they way they’re treated and the way they feel about their company. They believe things are different here, but they deserve the credit.” I’ve never seen anyone yet who worked for him or was around him for any length of time who wasn’t better off. And I don’t mean just financially, although a lot of people are. It’s just something about him—coming into contact with Sam Walton just makes you a better person.

Comprehension (1) Explain the text (2) Summarize Text Organization Part One (Paras1-3) Introduction: The author started the interview with the Carters. Beginning with the furniture Carter designed and made. Part Two: (Paras4-5) Carter’s woodworking talent served him well during his political career: it draws him nearer the laborers and it’s a kind of therapy. Part Three: (Paras6-13) About Carter’s new book, Everything to Gain, and their retired life on their farm in Plains. (3) Summarize General idea This is an essay based on the author’s interviw of Rosalyn and Jimmy Carter. Focusing on Carter’s carpentry skills and his new book, this essay reveals a totally different Jimmy Carter from the one we know well as American president. After leaving the White House, Rosalyn and Jimmy Carter have been trying hard to adjust to new life, their adjustment was realized mainly through woodworking and writing. They are restoring themselves and also helping other people who may also have difficulty adjusting to great changes in life. 3. Long sentences I think that skill with one’s hands---whether its tilling the soil, building a house, making a piece of furniture, playing a violin or painting a painting---is something that doesn’t change with the ups and downs of life. No matter if I was involved in writing a book, conducting a political campaign, teaching at Emory University or dealing with international affairs, I could always go back—at least for a few hours at a time---to the woodshop. In Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter’s recently published book, Everything to Gain, they explain frankly how they used back-to-basics skills to confront and resolve their painful political defeat, a sudden departure from Washington and their fears of an empty future. In this book we encourage people to take on new things that might look very difficult, but that become very rewarding once the person is involved. b. the theme-related language learning tasks (Part IV) 1.
