Teaching process
1. Introduction
One evening, a man walked to the edge of the cliff distractedly . He felt that life was plain and boring, and his young heart no longer wanted to bear the burden of loneliness and hardship in the world. So, he lifted his feet slightly in the air. Suddenly, a unique sound came from a distance, and he couldn't help but listen. It turned out to be the cry of a baby. In this barren mountain and wilderness, he could feel that life was still high above him. Suddenly, an unprecedented excitement hit him. He pushed away the god of death who was tempting him to commit suicide, and followed the cries and lights. That was the most thrilling lightning strike in his life. A few years later, his great works fell like spring rain in Russia and around the world. He is the Russian critical realist writer Turgenev.
Question: What made Turgenev finally give up the idea of ??committing suicide?
(It was the call of life and the belief in loving life that remained in Turgenev’s heart.)

(2) Personalized reading
1. Find the sentence that touches you most deeply from the text and explain the reason.
Possible philosophical sentences:
A. "Our lives are gifted by nature, which is extremely superior."
People Life has evolved over billions of years. It is a great and magical masterpiece of nature, with incomparable superiority. (Since the birth of every life is a gift from God, it is more worthy of our cherishment.)
B. "The essence of life lies in death."
As an individual life, They are all short-lived and limited, and death is inevitable for everyone. This sentence looks at life from the perspective of its ultimate destination, which leads to the topic of cherishing life.
Death is the end of life, and it is also the starting point for measuring the value of life. As the saying goes, "the final word is sealed in the coffin." Only when a person dies can the value and meaning of his life be determined. Therefore, for every life that wants to live a meaningful life, the process of dying is a process of constantly surpassing oneself. In this sense, death is another form of life.
C. "Only those who are happy with life can truly not feel the pain of death."
Cherish life, love life, live seriously and fully, and be good at enjoying all kinds of happiness in life People who die without regrets will not feel the pain of death. If you are confused all your life, treat life negatively and pessimistically, and leave too many regrets, you will definitely be miserable at the end of your life. From a philosophical sense, people can transcend death when pursuing the value of their lives. In the history of mankind, Socrates drank poison and died, Archimedes took a knife to the neck, Jack London committed suicide by poisoning, Qu Yuan committed suicide, Fan Zhongyan was worried about both progress and retreat, Tan Sitong smiled to the sky with his sword, and he died after exhausting his work. Famous figures such as Zhou Enlai integrated the individual "small self" into the human "big self" and achieved self-transcendence in life.
D. "The joy of life depends on how much we care about life."
Only by caring about life can we deeply feel the joy of life and better Taste life and enjoy life.
E. "The shorter the remaining life is, the more I want to live it richly and fully."
Although the length of life is difficult to change, as long as we fully understand the meaning of life , enjoy the fun of life to the fullest, and the content and quality of life will be infinitely enriched. Live a "rich and fulfilling" life to extend your life relatively.
2. We cannot predict the length of life. Just like the people who lost their lives in the Japanese earthquake, they may have been singing and laughing a moment ago, but at this moment, they say goodbye early. this world. Since the length of life cannot be grasped, can the weight of life be increased? How do we increase the weight of our lives? (Students express their own opinions)
Summary: Through the discussion and answers just now, we understand the author’s The reason why he is so calm when facing death is because he has the "secret" to turn death into life, that is, to pursue the maximum value of life in a limited time. Seneca said: "Life is like a fable, its value is not in the length, but in the content." We are all lucky to have life. We cannot decide its existence and death, but we can decide its value. So, let us live our best selves and not let down the time we have.
