英语10译林牛津版unit2reading教案Reading Population mobility in the USAStep 1: Lead-inLet’s enjoy a section of film. Can you say something about the film?Yes, the short film is about a very common phenomenon in USA. Nowadays, more and more people move from place to place in USA, and they will never live in the same place for a long time. They change their jobs and living place frequently. In this article, you will read a magazine article about why and where people move in the USA. After reading the article, you are expected to gain some information about what two different age groups are on the move and why they are moving.1.Many people are now using mobile phones. Do you know what the word “mobile”mean?2.What do you think a mobile library and a mobile medical team are?3.What kind of people are mobile people?ResourcesAmerican cities are similar to other cities around the world．In every country, cities reflect thevalues of the culture. Cities contain the very best side of asociety：opportunities for education, employment and so on.They also contain the very worst parts of a society：violent crime,racial discrimination and poverty. American cities are changing,just as American society.After World War Ⅱ, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Bolt cities increased. Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population increased. This population moving to and from the city reflects the changing values of American society.During this time, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, city people became wealthier. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out their flats in the city to buy their own houses. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areaswithout many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream” was to have a house on the outskirts.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Some continue to move to cities in the Sun Belt. Cities are expanding and the population is increasing in such states as Texas, Florida and California．Others are moving to more established cities of the Northeast and Midwest, such as Boston, Baltimore and Chicago.Many young professionals, doctors and lawyers are moving back into the city. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the cities--a wealthier, more mobile class.Step 2: Fast reading for general ideasGo through the passage as quickly as possible and try to find answers to the three questions in part A on Page 18.
