After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the check.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed.I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister.”These events in my life are called “milestones”（里程碑）There have been other milestones. The cops（policemen）of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors (祖先) long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son. I still lose…One day I bought a house. One day—what a day!–I became a father,and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older,I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone.1. The tone established in the passage is one of _______A. sad regretB. amusementC. happinessD. deep feeling2. The author mentions the event in the restaurant because _____.A. that was one of his milestoneB. he paid the bill but he didn’t want toC. he became a father with dollarsD. that was the last restaurant meal with his parents3. “Then they were suddenly neither.” Suggests that ______.A. suddenly they became older than I wasB. suddenly I knew that they was neither bigger nor older than I wasC. suddenly I realized that I made mistakeD. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid4. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ?A. One day is worth two tomorrowB. To save time is to length lifeC. When an opportunity is lost, it never comes back to youD. Time and tide wait for no man四. 短文改错：This is a story told by my father: “When I was boy,1.________The most exciting thing was when to celebrate the Spring2.________Festival.

Unit 1 Making a differenceI. Brief Statements Based on the UnitDo you like science? Do you want to be a scientist in the future? Definitely most of us do. Do you want to know more? The whole unit of Unit 1 Making a difference will tell you more about science and scientists. It will be taught in five periods. Warming up, listening and speaking will be dealt with in the first period. In the beginning, the pictures of one great writer and three outstanding scientists and their famous sayings are shown before the students. They all made great contributions to the world and are respected by thousands of millions of people, including our middle school students. By talking about great scientists and their famous quotes, the students will be encouraged to devote them- selves to science. Listening is about the scientists' description. Detailed exercises are designed for them to do. After doing this, the students' ability to listen will surely be improved. Speaking is well designed. The students are divided into groups to discuss about science and decide which branch is the most important and useful for society. After the debate, the students' ability to speak is improved,for this is an interesting topic and we are sure all the students will be interested in it. In the second period, we deal with Pre-reading, Reading and Post-reading. The text is about an outstanding British scientist of this century. He is a man with disability. He can't speak and can only move on his wheel- chair. When he speaks he has to speak through a puter. He devotes himself to science and achieves great success. In 2002, he visited our country and spoke to many university students. There is no doubt that his unyielding spirit is encouraging thousands of millions of people. His words, “people of- ten think that science is a number of ‘true’facts that never change…and even the best theory can turn out to be wrong.〞. Shorten the distance between science and all of us. While reading the whole text and doing the exercises before and after the text, the students will learn the fine quality of the great scientist, as well as learning plenty of useful words and expressions. Meanwhile their reading ability will be improved as well. Word study and Grammar are dealt with in the third period. Especially in Grammar a lot of exercises about infinitive are designed. After doing them, this part will surely be well mastered by the students. The fourth period deals with integrating skills. In the reading passage,the question "how to make a scientist" will be answered. It tells us that if knowledge is power, then perhaps creativity can be described as the ability to use that power. Scientists must be creative and use their imagination all the time. In the end, the students are required to write about their favouritescientist. After learning all the con- tents of this unit, the students are sure to write the passage well. In the fifth period, we'll deal with the grammar--the Infinitive.Ⅱ.Teaching Goals1. Talk about science and scientists.2. Practise describing people and debating.3. Learn more about the Infinitive.4. Write a descriptive paragraph.Ⅲ. Teaching Time: Five periodsIV. Background Information1. THE BEGINNING OF TIME AND A REMARKABLE MAN CALLED STEPHEN HAWKINGIf you have ever thought about how the universe began and whether time has a beginning or an ending, then you should know about a 55-year-old Englishman called Stephen Hawking.Why? Because he is considered to be one of the brainiest men in the world and to be the modern successor of Albert Einstein.Stephen has spent his life studying and thinking about the origins of the universe and how it can be explained by using the modern theories of physics such as Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. His discoveries and his scientific proposals have been revolutionary. People call him a genius.Just as amazing is the fact that since his early twenties, he has been suffering from an incurable diseaseof the nervous system which has affected his movements and his speech. But, fortunately, although he must use a wheelchair and other technical aids to do things, his brain functions perfectly. In- deed,it functions better than the vast majori ty of people’s. So,in spite of a severe disability,he has made tremendous contributions to our understanding of our universe.So, what does Stephen think about the beginnings of our world? Well, he thinks(along with others) that it began around fifteen billion years ago. He also thinks that our universe was probably created by an enormous explosion,a “Big Bang〞. This is a view held by many cosmologists (scientists who study the universe).But scientists hold different views about what the universe was like before the Big Bang. Some people think that there is no way that modern physics can explain or predict anything before the Big Bang. Many other people think that the Big Bang must have been the work of God.Stephen Hawking has his own view on what the universe was like before the Big Bang. He has suggested that, yes, we can say that the universe and time began at one particular point(a Big Bang). But, this one point was just an ordinary point in time like, say, the northpole is a point on the smooth surface of the earth. It was not a point of real beginning,just a point.Stephen believes that if we can use ourpresent knowledge of the laws of physics to understand how the universe began, then we w ill not have to believe that a “God〞or a spiritual force made the Big Bang.What do you think about our beginnings? If you would like to read more about Stephen's ideas on the origins of the universe,then you should read his best seller A Brief History of Time.In spite of his difficult illness and his confinement to a wheelchair, Stephen Hawking works as a Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge;holding the same position held by another famous scientist, Isaac Newton, in1663. It may be that the name Hawking could bee just as well known in history as that of his famous predecessor.2. Stephen Hawking in ChinaStephen Hawking, the disabled author of A Brief History of Time is launching his second journey to China in Hangzhou of Zhejiang Province. His first visit was over 10 years ago.The great theoretical scientist has been invited to attend a state-of-the-art mathematics research institute at ZhejiangUniversity, Hangzhou-based Dushi Kuaibao reported.On Sunday evening, he made his debut at a press conference held at Shangri-La hotel, Hangzhou. Hawking appeared at about 5:00 p.m. with his wife.The 50-year-old man answered a total of nine questions with the help of his puter.“Experts in theoretical science are dispersed around the world, but we need munication. I am very glad that the world's first-class conference is being held in China this time,〞he said.“I find the real universe much more interesting than the one in the film Star Wars,〞Hawking joked. “I encourage young people to study theoretical physics first if they are interested in it.〞Stephen Hawking has worked on the basic laws which govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity implied space and time would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black holes. These results indicated it was necessary to unify General Relativity with Quantum Theory, the other great scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.One consequence of such a unification theory would be that black holes would not be pletely black, but emit radiation and eventually evaporate and disappear. Another conjecture is that the universe has no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply that the way the universe began was pletely determined by the laws of science.But the talented man who has produced such rich work suffers serious Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). He is one of the350 000 sufferers in the world. The disease kills over 100 000 people every year.“I like life and I love life,my family and music give me the greatest happiness, 〞smiled Hawking,who can only move three fingers.In the ing year, Hawking said he is scheduled to write a new edition of A Brief History of Time for young children.“A Brief History of Time is my first book for mon people. But I later found that I could write it in a more simple way,〞he answered. “So I decided to rewrite it so that all people can read it easily. 〞The First PeriodTeaching Aims:1.

After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the check in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the check.Conversation continued. Finally I realized that I should pick up the check! After hundreds of restaurant meals with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one with dollars, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself suddenly changed. I was an adult. I was no longer a kid.Some people mark off（区分）their lives in years, I measure mine in small events. I didn’t become a young man at a particular age, like 16, but rather when a kid who wandered in the streets called me “mister.” These events in my life are called “milestones”（里程碑）There have been other milestones. The cops（policemen）of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football players in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone gone was the dream that someday, maybe I, too, could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the TV set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim, yet I spent all of August at the shore and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would appreciate opera, but now the combination of voice and orchestra attract me. I never thought that I would prefer to stayhome in the evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I fond myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I feel a strong desire for a religious belief that I never thought I’d want, feel close to my ancestors (祖先) long gone, and echo my father in arguments with my son. I still lose…One day I bought a house. One day—what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father. I thought then it was a milestone for me. One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone.1. The tone established in the passage is one of _______A. sad regretB. amusementC. happinessD. deep feeling2. The author mentions the event in the restaurant because _____.A. that was one of his milestoneB. he paid the bill but he didn’t want toC. he became a father with dollarsD. that was the last restaurant meal with his parents3. “Then they were suddenly neither.” Suggests that ______.A. suddenly they became older than I wasB. suddenly I knew that they was neither bigger nor older than I wasC. suddenly I realized that I made mistakeD. suddenly I found myself no longer a kid4. Which of the following best expresses the author’s thinking ?A. One day is worth two tomorrowB. To save time is to length lifeC. When an opportunity is lost, it never comes back to youD. Time and tide wait for no man四. 短文改错：This is a story told by my father: “When I was boy, 1.________The most exciting thing was when to celebrate the Spring 2.________Festival.

知识改变命运Unit 1 Making a differenceI. SpeakingTask 1 Who are they?Directions: In the form are the names of some famous scientists. Guess whoTask 2 Do you really want to turn into a genius?Directions: work in groups and discuss the following topic. Refer to otherShelly: I would just like to be a normal person. As far as I know, some talentedpeople are strange. They may be good at one thing but not talented in other areas. For example, Einstein had a gift for physics but found it hard to communicate with others.Eric: I'm willing to turn on such a "button" in my brain, if it really exists. I could become skilled at science, art or economics (经济). But I would make sure this "button" couldn't do me any harm before turning it on.Marie: If more people became geniuses, it may lead to an increase in high-tech crime (犯罪), such as stealing money through the Internet and creating harmful computer viruses. It is hard to imagine what the world would be like if all the criminals were very clever.Judy: In my opinion, such a "button" can do a lot of good. It may help us to develop our abilities so that we can make new discoveries. As a result, we could solve many problems and have a more comfortable life. If possible, I am eager to become a genius.Helen: Although it is convenient, I don't think its right to become cleverer in this way. If someone wants to be successful in math or art, he or she should work hard. I believe success requires hard work as well as natural gifts.Sam (teacher): Just imagine what it would be like to become a genius overnight. In my opinion, most of us would treasure such a chance to make our lives easy and interesting. However, at the same time, we should make good use of these abilities and contribute (贡献) to society and mankind. II. Pre-reading activitiesDirections: Here is a passage Stephen Hawking wrote about his disease and Not knowing what was going to happen to me, or how rapidly the diseasewould develop, I was bored. The doctors told me to go back to Cambridge and carry on with the research. But I was not making much (1) .

There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I dreamt that I was going to be put to death. I suddenly (5) that there were a lot of meaningful things I could do if I (6) longer. Another dream that I had several times, was that I would give up my life to (7) others. After all, if I were going to die anyway, it might as well do some good. But I didn't die. In fact, although there was a cloud (8) over my future, I found to my surprise, that I was enjoying life in the present more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got (9) to a girl called Jane Wilde, who I had met just about the time my condition was diagnosed. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for. But it also (10) that I had to get a job if we were to get married. I therefore applied for a research fellowship（奖学金）at Cambridge.

On CNN, talk show host（节目主持人）Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking."What, professor, (1) you the most?" King asked. "What do you think about the most?"Hawking immediately replied, " (2) ."It's a comfort to know that Hawking, one of the (3) men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex. But, that's not (4) , according to Satoshi Kanazawa. Bright people are (5) better than anyone else at making smart decisions in common things, he says. These (6) finding a mate, maintaining family relationships, raising children, finding the way home, and handling a variety of basic life needs.That's (7) there are several kinds of formal "intelligence", Kanazawa argues. Being smart one way does not (8) mean smart in another way. This view is (9) to be controversial（有争议的）among scientists who think about thinking. That is because it (10) with the common view that general intelligence is a single thing. In that view, it is not, as Kanazawa and others say, a set of (11) mental areas.Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time. Many people have heard about (12) is called "emotional intelligence". Now, psychologists have discovered several (13) types of intelligence. These include the ability to learn a language, find a mate, recognize faces, and (14) oneself in a new environment.But, is there evidence to (15) the theory that intelligence comes in many (16) ? Actually, there is quite a lot of evidence, Kanazawa says. If there were only one type of intelligence, he (17) , then people with (18) IQs should be "smart" in every way.In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects（受实验者）on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out (19) they were.

More language inputA letter to Edward, a columnist（报刊专栏作家）Dear Mr. Expert:I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I’d get out as soon as possible. Now, at age 20,I have a good job and a nice house, and I’m really proud of the independence I’ve achieved.Here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine — so much so that they make mine theirs.It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.I enjoy having my friends here sometimes—it makes the place feel comfortable and warm—but this is my home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t I seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?JoanEdward’s reply to JoanDear Joan:If your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, y ou probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.And if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with—or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy.
