People call these strange objects Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). These UFOs caused a lot of interest. Some of the reports about them are difficult to believe. Some have been explained in scientific ways. Others have never been explained. Here is an account of UFOs from a report.Dennis Burdens, who wrote an article, tells us that he once saw a UFO himself. He was having dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya, and after dinner the two men walked across a yard to his room to look at some papers. Burdens noticed that the moon looked strange that night."It wasn't the moon", was the reply.They watched the light and saw that it was moving. It seemed to be an object rather like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with a light on it, but it wasn't smoke because it didn't change its shape. It was moving in a regular way. That is to say, it didn't go suddenly faster or more slowly, and it didn't go higher or lower. So the two men decided that there must be men in it.After that, Burdens said that he felt eyes looking at him. He was being watched in the darkness.When it was nearer, they noticed that the bottom parts were brighter than the top. The bottom was yellow and the top red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left Libya, moving very fast.On a later day Burdens talked to other people about it, and he found some who had seen it. They all described it in the same way.Could they all be mistaken?1. UFOs are ______.A. flying high up in the skyB. strange flying objectsC. difficult to believeD. very interested2. A UFO was seen one night ______.A. when they were walking across a yard to Burdens' roomB. while they were looking at the lightC. when Burdens noticed the moon appearing strangeD. while they were having dinner3. The UFO looked like ______.A. smokeB. a large plateC. lightD. a jumping object4. The UFO was seen ______.A. by Burdens and his friendB. brighter in the darknessC. by several peopleD. to have a yellow bottom and a red top in the same way单词拼写1. puzzled2. witnessed3. creature4.

Unit 1 Tales of the unexplainedReading教案●教学目标1. 知识目标通过本课的学习，了解新闻故事的文体特点。

2. 能力目标掌握新闻故事的阅读策略，即体裁本位阅读策略----倒金字塔式，预测策略，细节阅读策略图表填充、聚焦问题，观点态度阅读策略等学习策略。

3. 情感目标学生能够用英语与小组同学合作交流，用英语表达对自己本文的观点、态度。

●重点难点重点：了解文章体裁，学会运用阅读策略分析、理解文章。

难点：阅读技能的训练与提高，对新闻故事的复述或续写。

●教学步骤Step1 Lead-in (2minutes)Warm-up questions:1. Let’s enjoy some pictures about newspapers.2. Do you often read newspapers? (often, seldom …)3. How do you select the news you like to read, by taking a look at its title or by beingattracted by its colorful pictures?【设计意图】选择Teens报纸上面的不同话题，拍摄图片制成PPT播放，从视觉上激发学生对阅读新闻报道的兴趣，再通过设疑提问从思想上激发学生的阅读动机，激活学生已有的相关知识。

Step2 Reading strategy(4minutes)I’m sure you want to know what really happened in the news story to check yourimagination, but before reading the story, I should tell you how a news story is organized so that you may catch the important information in it more easily.1. What are the features of a news story?● It is usually written in an inverted pyramid format.●The broadest (最广泛的), most general information is given first, and then the supporting details (论证性细节).2. The structure of a news story● the title: to give a general idea of the news●the first paragraph: to give the main topic and the most important facts like when,where, who, what, why and how about the event;●the second paragraph: to give more important facts●the following paragraphs:to give detailed but less important background information3. Application of reading strategyAsk the students the following questions1.)Can you tell me the feature of this news title? (The title of a news story is usually incomplete, attractive, exact and direct … )2.) Can you complete the title? (“A boy is missing, and the police are puzzled”)3.) What information can you get from the title? (how/when/where was the boy missing?; why are the police puzzled?)So use your imagination and guess what happened in the story. Where or how was the missing boy? (leaving home / kidnapping(绑架) / murder / drowning (溺水) / being taken away by aliens)Work with your partner and then share your story with the rest of the class.【设计意图】引入阅读策略——倒金字塔式，为学生搭建支架；引导学生从阅读新闻的标题开始运用策略，根据残缺的标题对文章内容做出预测。
