Most parents devote themselves to their careers due to fierce competition, thus caring less about their children.However, I don’ t think this is a practical and wise choice.Firstly, if children are always rewarded with money for high marks, their attention will be focused on money instead of the pleasure of studying.Some of them will stop working hard as soon as they get what they want.Secondly, too much money will spoil the children, for they are too young to use money properly.I think a hug and a kiss will work better for children than money.Money may do them more harm than good.。

语言知识的选择和听说读写等语言技能的训练主要围绕如何摒弃恶习、怎样成为健康人展开，其中涉及许多社会热点问题，如抽烟、吸毒、艾滋病、学习与工作压力等影响健康的棘手问题。

本单元的目的在于让学生远离有害身体健康的活动，并养成良好的习惯。

本单元的主要教学内容如下表所示：Period 1 Warming Up，Pre－reading，Reading and Comprehending整体设计教学内容分析This is the first teaching period of this unit. The central part of this period is two sections in the reading passage titled Advice from Granddad and How Can You Stop Smoking?Warming Up presents issues about health for students to discuss.Pre－reading provides some questions to help students focus on the topic of the reading passage and get the students to realize the harm of smoking. Teachers may provide students some advice on how to give up smoking.Reading is in two parts. The first part is a letter from a granddad to his grandson.Grandad lives a long and healthy life，but he has ever been addicted to nicotine，so he lists reasons for being addicted and the harm of smoking. The second part gives advice about how to stop smoking.Comprehending consists of three kinds of exercises for the students so as to help the students to get a better understanding of the text，that is to say，to help the teacher to check how much the students have understood the text. Exercise 1：fill in the form about the content of the text；Exercise 2：discuss the content of the text；Exercise 3：write down an outline on how to persuade people to give up smoking within five sentences.三维目标设计Knowledge and skills1．To know the meanings of the following new words and phrases：cigarette(香烟)，alcohol(酒)，abuse(滥用)，stress(压力；加压力于)，adolescent(青少年), ban(禁止)，due (欠款的；预定的；到期的)，tough(困难的), addicted(上了瘾的)，accustom(使习惯于)，withdrawal(收回；戒毒过程), automatic(无意识的；自动的), mental(精神的；智力的), quit(停止；离开), effect(结果；效力), lung(肺)，pregnant(怀孕的), abnormal(畸形的；异常的), breathless (气喘吁吁的)，unfit(不健康的；不合适的)，strengthen(加强), decide on(对……作出决定)，packet(小盒；小包), feel like(doing)(想要做)，desperate(绝望的；拼命的), chemist (药剂师；化学家)，disappointed(失望的；沮丧的), ashamed(感到羞耻的或惭愧的)2．To learn about some health problems and how to live a healthy life.3．To develop the students' reading ability by skimming and scanning the passage.4．To develop the students' speaking ability by talking about health problems.Process and methods1．While doing Warming Up the teacher can lead in the topic of this unit by showing students some pictures of healthy or unhealthy activities. Students can practice their oral English by describing the activities. By reading a passage，students can have a better understanding of what is a healthy life.2．During Pre－reading the teacher can go around the classroom and discuss the questions with several students. This discussion should be student－centered and help students understand the harm of smoking. The teacher should lead the students to look at the title and layout of the two sections in the reading passage and try to find out the main idea of the text by skimming.3．While doing Reading and Comprehending，the teacher may first ask the students to read the text quickly to get the general idea of each paragraph. After reading the passage，students are encouraged to answer some questions and study the organization of the text.4．To consolidate the contents of the reading passage，the students shouldbe required to discuss some questions about the text at the end of the class.Emotion，attitude and value1．To get the students to reflect on some health issues which may concern them in the future and make sure they will be less likely to become addicted to risky behavior.2．To develop students' sense of cooperative learning.教学重、难点1．To enable the students to learn about health problems and to develop their reading ability.2．To enable the students to describe a healthy person or a healthy activity.教学过程Step 1Warming up1．Warming up by looking and talkingAsk the students to look at the following pictures and see what they are doing，then judge which are healthy activities while which are unhealthy ones. The students should be encouraged to describe the pictures in their own words.Picture one：They are singing.(Healthy)Picture two：They are drinking alcohol.(Unhealthy)Picture three：They are doing Tarija.(Healthy)Picture four：They are eating too much.(Unhealthy)Picture five：He is smoking.(Unhealthy)Picture six：They are playing basketball.(Healthy)2．Warming up by reading the following passage.Nowadays，it is a fashion to eat healthy food，such as organically－grown food，and do exercises to keep healthy. In brief，people are trying to live a healthy life. But what should be done to live a healthy life？Different people have different ideas. Someone says to live a healthy life is to have a strong body. Some people think keeping psychologically healthy is very important. In my view，it's essential to keep physically and psychologically healthy.To keep physically healthy，you should do sports like running，playing basketball，etc. Today more and more people go to the fitness centers. There are some popular ways of fitness like yoga which is a sensation in many big cities today. I think it is very useful for us to do some exercises every day. In this way，we can have a strong body.More importantly，to keep psychologically healthy，you should have a good attitude towards people around you. We often say：“Attitude is everything.”It means good attitude leads to a good mood. In this way we can keep psychologically healthy. It is more sensible to have positive attitude. When you meet with some hardship，you should not be sad. You should have confidence in yourself and do something for relaxation. You should say to yourself：“I can make it. I am one in a million. I am special in this world.” In this way，you definitely have a good mood and work efficiently.In a word，to live a healthy life is a comprehensive project in a way. We should keep healthy both psychologically and physically. In our daily life we should do some exercises and have a positive attitude towards life. We can also turn to some specialists for advice. Only in this way can we live a healthy life.After reading the passage，let students answer a question：What's a healthy life?Suggested answer：To be truly healthy，a person must be well in mind，body and spirit.Step 2Pre－reading1．Discussion：(1)Why do you think some adolescents start smoking?(2)In what ways is smoking harmful？Do you think smoking should be banned?(3)What advice would you give to someone who wanted to stop smoking?2．Skim the text and answer the following questions.(1)Who wrote the letter and to whom?(2)How many parts does the reading text consist of?(3)What is the purpose of the letter?Suggested answers：1．(1)Some adolescents start smoking because they are falsely influenced by some media. Some think it's cool. Maybe some want to lighten some stress.(2)Mentally and healthily. I think smoking should be banned.(3)Let them get interested in some positive hobbies like sports，playing music，reading，playing chess and so on.2．(1)A grandfather wrote the letter to his grandson James.(2)Two parts.

Of course，it is a habit and so repeated over and over again but there are factors behind an individual's smoking habit.Smoking tobacco is now very common even among teenagers and while administrations in the countries are trying to prohibit smoking on the other side they are also aware about the revenues generated each other through tobacco.Let us have a quick look at the reasons for smoking：Few people smoke as they have an idea of feeling masculine.Nicotine has a characteristic of gripping its patient with constant craving for some more.Social gatherings and meetings have also led to increase in smoking.Alcohol and other addictions also support the character of tobacco in giving high.Few people think that smoking a cigarette gives an impression of being carefree.Few smokes due to their burning emotions of heart break.Smoking habit is also found to be given in inheritance by parents.Some diet losers have caught the idea that smoking burns calories and have shunned the bad effects of smoking from their mind.Ⅱ.Smoking hurts mind as well as bodyMiddle－aged adults who smoke tended to perform poorly on tests of memory and reasoning compared to non－smokers，adding to the list of reasons not to smoke，French researchers said on Monday.Analyzing previously collected data on about 5000 British civil servants，the researchers found those who smoked were more likely than people who never smoked to be in the lowest－performing of five groups in tests of memory，reasoning，vocabulary and verbal fluency.Smoking was associated with mental decline in middle age，as it is with dementia and a host of physical ills later in life，they found.“Smoking in middle age is associated with memory deficit and decline in reasoning abilities，” concluded Severing Sabina and colleagues from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Villejuif，France.Compared to smokers，people who said they had quit cigarettes were more likely to adopt healthier behaviors，such as drinking less alcohol，being more physically active，and eating more fruit and vegetables，Sabina reported in the journal Archives of Internal.The participants were aged 35 to 55 at the beginning of the study，which followed some subjects up to 17 years.The study also demonstrated how difficult it can be to conduct long－term research on smokers：more than twice as many smokers as non－smokers refused to take the memory test again or were not able to be re－tested，in some cases because they died in the interim.。
