高二英语外研版选修9导入练习：MODULE1　BERNARDSHAW’SPYGMALION WORD版含解析.doc

1、Module 1Bernard Shaws Pygmalion话题导入在这个世界上，取得成功的人是那些努力找寻机会的人，如果找不到机会，他们就创造机会。背景知识皮格马力翁效应皮格马利翁是古代塞浦路斯的一位善于雕刻的国王，由于他把全部热情和希望放在自己雕刻的少女雕像身上，后来竟使这座雕像活了起来。皮格马利翁效应又称“罗森塔尔效应”或“期待效应”，它是心理学家罗森塔尔首先发现的。罗森塔尔等人从小学一年级到六年级中，每个年级各抽出三个班级进行测验。他们随机抽取一些学生的测验结果，然后告诉各任课教师哪些学生将会表现出明显进步(其实这些学生完全是实验者们随机抽样的，任课教师不知道)。八个月后，再进行测验

2、，发现被指为可能进步的学生的成绩确实进步了。教师在关于学生品行的评定中也给了这些学生好的评定。除任课教师外，这些学生的名单并未向任何其他人泄露，所以他们认为这个结果是从任课教师的期待中产生的。罗森塔尔借用希腊神话中出现的主人公的名字，把它命名为皮格马利翁效应。这种现象说明教师的期待不同，对儿童施加影响的方法也不同，儿童受到的影响也不同。对于家长也是一样的，要想使孩子发展更好，就应该给他传递积极的期望。期望对于人的行为产生了巨大影响。积极的期望促使人们向好的方向发展，消极的期望则使人向坏的方向发展。引入型阅读George Bernard Shaw was born on 26 July，1856
