Some information about April Fool’s DayApril Fool’s Day is on April 1st. It is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year's Day was changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!Each country celebrates April Fool's differently. In France, the April Fool's is called "April Fish" (Poisson d'Avril). The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs and when some discovers a this trick, they yell "Poisson d'Avril!". In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.Unit 3(6 hours)I.

Unit 4 Section A The surprising purpose of travel令人惊奇的旅行目的1 It's 4:15 in the morning, and my alarm clock has just stolen away a lovely dream. I almost return back to sleep before my eye catches my packed suitcase and I groan, remembering that I'm going to the airport. The taxi is late and then lost, and I'm getting increasingly nervous that I'll miss my flight. I run in when we arrive, stagger through security and finally get to my gate. After all the trouble of this morning, my flight is canceled and I'm stuck in this terminal for the next 218 minutes, and my only consolation is a cup of complimentary airport coffee. This is traveling, a burdensome series of running and waiting, and after countless hours, finally getting there.1 早晨四点一刻，闹钟把我从美梦中惊醒，要不是突然看见早已收拾好的行李箱，我几乎又要睡着。
想起来还要去机场，我叹了口气。

Unit 5 When work is a pleasurePART 1Understanding and LearningOverviewThis unit centers on the topic of work-an indispensable part of individual lives. Work may serve different purposes and have different meanings to different people. Text A argues, by differentiating among work, labor, and play, that interest and enjoyment in work are important for the benefit of both individuals and society. Text B, by telling us a story of a shoemaker and the author, stimulates thoughts on building a tradition of working with pride, self-esteem, and responsibility. All of these elements, as shown in both texts, cannot be achieved in a job that is done merely for the sake of money.Concerning the writing style, Text A is developed mainly by means of contrasts, which are effectively used to highlight, point by point, the differences between workers and laborers. Text B, by means of narration through the use of the first person “I” and with detailed description and lively conversations, gives the readers a strong feeling of being personally on the scene, and achieves the effect of great vividness.In order for students to get a strong understanding of the unit theme and foster a good attitude toward work, the teacher should encourage thought-provoking discussions and activities. The topics for the discussions may include why we work, how we can foster love for work, how we achieve happiness at work, etc. Possible activities are peer interviews, retelling of Text B, questionnaire survey to gauge the happiness level of a specific occupation and to work out how to achieve greater happiness at work. Section AWill you be a worker or a labor?Background information1 continuing educationContinuing education refers to the education for adults, usually in classes that are held in the evening and especially on subjects that are related to their jobs.2 experiential learningExperiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience. It is learning through reflection on doing, which is often contrasted with rote learning (死记硬背). Experiential learning focuses on the learning process for the individua1. An example of experiential learning is going to the zoo and learning through observationand interaction with the zoo environment, as opposed to reading about animals from a book. Thus, one makes discoveries and experiments with knowledge firsthand, instead of hearing or reading about others’ experiences.Detailed study of the text1In a society where slavery in the strict sense has been abolished, the social indications around work, the value of work and the salary, have degraded many laborers into modern slaves-“wage slaves”.(Para. 1)Meaning: In a society where slavery, strictly speaking, has been put to an end, the social status of work, the value of work and the salary, have made many laborers become modern slaves-“wage slaves”.★degrade:vt. treat sb. without respect and make them lose respect for themselves贬低(某人);羞辱(某人)The examination supervisor warned students not to degrade themselves by cheating on the exam.监考老师警告学生不要在考试中舞弊,以免自取其辱。
Unit 1 Changes in the Way We LiveI. Suggested Teaching Plan (5 periods)ObjectivesStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea (tolerance for solitude and energy made it possible for the writer's family toenjoy their pleasant but sometimes harsh country life);2.appreciate the various techniques employed by the writer (comparison and contrast, topicsentences followed by detail sentences, use of transitional devices, etc.);3.master the key language points and grammatical structures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening, speaking and writing activities related to the theme of theunit.Time allotment1st period: Pre-reading; While-reading (4-Part division, Part I)2nd period: While-reading (Parts I-III)3rd period: While-reading; Post-reading (comparison & contrast)4th period: Post-reading; Check on Ss' home reading (Text B)5th period: Theme-Related Language Learning TasksPre-reading tasks1.T asks Ss the following questions on the song Out in the Country: (5 minutes)— What is the song about? (taking a break from city life, escaping from the crowd)— How is the song related to the theme of this unit? (The singer needs a break because the pace of life has quickened, the environment has been changed, and the old life style is gone.)2.1) Ss divide into three large groups, under each group smaller sub-groups may form. Each largegroup is assigned one of the following discussion topics:—Why do so many migrant workers (民工) move from the country to the city?— Why do city people buy apartments or houses in the suburbs, even in the countryside?— Why are tours of Zhou Zhuang (周庄), Li Jiang (漓江) or any other old towns so popular?Why are tourists willing to pay to spend a day in a farmer's house?2) After the discussion, speakers of some sub-groups report to class.3) T may sum up like this: People change their places of living because they look for thingsthat their previous life is unable to provide. However, once life has been changed, they miss the good old days. (20 minutes)3.Ss do Cloze B in after-text exercises to learn about Americans' ideal of a country life. Then Tleads in to the study of Text A. (10minutes)While-reading tasks1.T tells Ss how to divide the text into four parts, and that they are to sum up the main idea ofeach part as they read along (see Text Organization Exercise 1). (2minutes)2.Ss read the first sentences of Paras 1-3 and sum up the main idea of this part. (3 minutes)3.T explains language points in this part and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (15minutes)4.T explains language points in Part II and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (20minutes)5.Ss re-read Part II and make a summary of each paragraph in it. T writes down their summarieson the blackboard. Then, based on paragraph summaries, Ss will come up with a summary of Part II. (8minutes)6.Ss read the fast sentences of Paras 8-11 and sum up the main idea of this part. (3 minutes)7.T explains the language points in this part and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (20minutes)8.T explains language points in Part IV and gives Ss practice (see Language Study). (20minutes)9.Ss find out the two special qualities that make a country life possible. (2 minutes)Post-reading tasks1.1) Ss work in pairs to finish Text Organization Exercise2. Later some of them may report toclass.2) T guides Ss through Writing Strategy.3) T urges Ss to use comparison and contrast more effectively in their own writing. (15minutes)2.1) T asks Ss to re-read Para 2 and analyze the relationship among its sentences (one topicsentence —"It's a self-reliant sort of life."— followed by three detail sentences).2) Ss re-read the rest of the text to find similar patterns. Then they would report their findingsto class (see Text Analysis).3) T encourages Ss to model their own writing after this pattern. (15 minutes)3.T guides Ss through some after-text exercises. (25 minutes)4.T checks on Ss' home reading. (3 minutes)5.Ss do Part IV: Theme-Related Language Learning Tasks. (1 period)6.T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit: (2 minutes)1) do the pre-reading task;2) preview Text A.II. Text AnalysisThe author writes his piece in a clear and logical way. In many instances he employs the pattern of "one topic sentence + several detail sentences" structure. It's easy for readers to grasp the main idea, and it is also proven effective for learner writers like our students.Sometimes the detail sentences run parallel to each other, like those in Para 2. In some other paragraphs the detail sentences have their own hierarchy. Take Para 5 for example. The first sentence tells how busy "I" am. The second sentence states that Sandy, the wife, is also busy. The final sentence is a kind of summary—nobody can relax. Yet following the second sentence there are a few more detail sentences showing exactly how tight a schedule Sandy has. Take Paras 12-13 for another example. The topic sentence therein is "I suspect not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities." Then there are two sub-topic sentences: "One is a tolerance for solitude"; "The other requirement is energy—a lot of it." Each sub-topic sentence has its own supporting details.Sometimes there is no transitional devices between detail sentences, sometimes there are, the most frequently used one of which is time words or phrases. For example, the detail sentences in Para 4 begin with "three months ago", "three months from now", "recently", and "later this month", respectively. To be sure, other conjunctions scatter the text, like "first"- "then" -"then" - "eventually" in Para 7.III. Cultural Notes1.the countryside: The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts:its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline.Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development. When British people think of farmland, as well as open spaces, they imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley.Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation. They spend their free time walking or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch. Only a few people who live in the country work on farms. Many commute to work in towns. Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.America has many areas of wild and beautiful scenery, and there are many areas, especially in the West in states like Montana and Wyoming, where few people live. In the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire, it is common to see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other Midwestern states, fields of corn or wheat reach to the horizon and there are many miles between towns.Only about 20% of Americans live outside cities and towns. Life may be difficult for people who live in the country. Services like hospitals and schools may be further away, and going shopping can mean driving long distances. Some people even have to drive from their homes to the main road where their mail is left in a box. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can.As in Britain, Americans like to go out to the country at weekends. Some people go on camping or fishing trips, others go hiking in national parks.2.Fahrenheit scale: a scale of temperature, first established by the German physicist GabrielFahrenheit in 1715. The unit of temperature is the degree Fahrenheit (°F), and 0°F was originally the coldest temperature Fahrenheit could achieve using a freezing mixture of salt and ice. On his scale, water freezes at 32°F and boils at 212°F (under set atmospheric conditions).No longer used in scientific work, Fahrenheit temperatures still feature in everyday language;hot days "in the eighties", for example. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius (centigrade), subtract 32, then multiply by 5/9.3.Celsius scale: a scale of hotness, or temperature, first established by the Swedish scientistAnders Celsius (1701-1744) in 1742. On this scale, the unit of temperature is the degree Celsius (°C); water freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C (under agreed standard atmospheric conditions), although when Celsius originally devised the scale he made 100°the boiling-point and 0° the freezing-point. The Celsius scale was formerly commonly known as the centigrade scale because of the 100 divisions between the freezing- and boiling-points of water. To convert from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit multiply by 9/5 and add 32.4.Ivy League: eight long-established colleges and universities in the United States withprestigious academic and social reputations. Members of the Ivy League are Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island; Columbia University in New York City; Cornell University in Ithaca, New York; Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire; Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts; University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia;Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey; and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The members of the Ivy League compete in intercollegiate athletics.5.Sports Illustrated: a popular US sports magazine published each week by Time Inc. part ofTime Warner. It first appeared in 1954, and is read mainly by men. The magazine also publishes the Sports Illustrated Sports Almanac every year.6.Individual Retirement Account (IRA): a US government plan that allows people to put partof their income into special bank accounts. No tax has to be paid on this money until they retire.7.Buying Insurance: People face many choices when buying insurance policies. Theycommonly choose an insurance provider based on several criteria. Some of the most important of these include: 1) the financial stability of the insurance company, 2) the price of policies, and 3) details of coverage and service.Only a financially sound company can fulfill its promise to pay in all circumstances.Companies with proven records of stability can provide insurance security. Choice of a provider based solely on price, on the other hand, may result in poor service and coverage, even if the provider advertises comprehensive coverage and high quality service.Policy prices vary significantly among companies, but competition usually forces most companies' prices into a narrow range. The greater cost of some policies may pay off in the long run through better protection. Thus, a detailed examination of coverage in policies provided by different, well-regarded companies can help consumers make the best choice based on the risks they face, their needs, and their finances.People seeking to buy insurance often use the services of an insurance agent or broker to assist in their purchase. Most insurance falls into four main categories, according to what itcovers: 1) property and casualty, 2) life, 3) health and disability, and 4) old-age and unemployment. Insurers commonly refer to insurance purchased by individuals as personal lines coverage and to insurance purchased by businesses as commercial coverage.IV Language Study1.get by: be good enough but not very good; manage to live or do things in a satisfactory wayExamples: My parents managed to get by on a small amount of money.It is a little bit difficult for the old couple to get by on such a small pension.We can get by with four computers at the moment, but we'll need a couple morewhen the new staff members arrive.2.... when it was 30 below: Here the Celsius scale is used instead of the Fahrenheit scale, (seeCultural Notes)3.haul: 1) transport, as with a truck, cart, etc.Examples: The farmers haul vegetables to the market on a truck every morning.The rescue team hauled medical supplies and food to the flooded villages.2) pull or drag sth. with effort or forceExamples: A crane had to be used to haul the car out of the stream.Rescue workers hauled passengers out of the crashed train.4.improvement: the act or an instance of improving or being improvedExamples: Internet service providers should develop security improvement services for their customers.The government's priorities will go to local transport improvement projects.The improvement in the job market in the past few years has been remarkable.5.supplement: add to sth. in order to improve it (followed by with)Examples: Peter does occasional freelance work to supplement his income.The doctor suggested supplementing my diet with vitamins E and A.6.indoor: situated or used inside a buildingExamples: Indoor pollution has been found to be as much as five to ten times higher inside some skyscrapers than outside.Tobacco smoke is considered as an indoor pollutant.The Mall of America, the biggest mall in USA includes the world's largest indooramusement park.7.spray: force out liquid in small drops upon (followed by with)Examples: I'll have to spray the roses with insecticide to get rid of the greenfly.A car went past and sprayed me with water.8.pursue: followExamples: After graduation Martin chose to pursue the same career as his father as a minister.College students are advised to pursue a wide range of subjects.Public evening classes allow people to earn a living during the day and pursuevocational and intellectual interests in their spare time.9.stack: make into a pileExamples: Once the last few people had left the hall, the caretakers began stacking the chairs.Before being processed into lumber, the wood must be carefully stacked to preventwarping.10.wicked: evil or badExamples: I would rather starve in a ditch than accept the fortune upon such wicked terms.We are all born good, but can be taught to be wicked.11.get through: come successfully to the endExamples: The local government has taken some measures to ensure that all the people will get through the winter.She got through the entrance examination and was accepted by the college.12.at that point: at that very moment, right thenExamples: The train was now only a couple of yards from the kids on the track.

Text A in this unit is a good case in point. Readers need some basic knowledge of Christianity. Some terms in this text are markedly Christian, like “Methodist Minister”, “Bible”, “Quaker”. Others refer to characters or places from Biblical stories, such as Moses who led the Jewish people out of slavery in Egypt, or Bethlehem, a holy city for Christian.The author tells three stories about the Underground Railroad and the early Black civil rights movement. The three stories are chosen because they are representative of all participants in this movement: John Parker is a free d slave who later turned into a courageous “conductor”; Levi。

UNIT3Life stories___________________ PART lUNDERSTANDING AND LEARNINGOverview________________________________________ Movies play an important role in almost everyone’s life. People from the movie industry have considerable influence on the masses. They exhibit personality traits that deserve admiration and applause, and could be looked up to as role models. This unit will fully explore their best qualities.The two texts in the current unit are biographies, a genre of literature, which is a written account of another person’s life. Each of the texts narrates, analyzes and interprets the most important facts of one prominent figure in the movie domain. Text A pays attention to actress Audrey Hepburn’s noble endeavor and her contribution to the cause of UNICEF, while Text B portrays the determination and fervent spirit of director and producer Steven Spielberg.The teacher can make students do additional research at the library, or Audrey Hepburn and Steven Spielberg in advance. Then in the classroom, the teacher may organize a variety of activities including pair work, group discussion, and mini-survey to talk about the films or the issue of fame, fortune, and social responsibility.Section A_________________________________________________ Audrey Hepburn-A true angel in this world1 Audrey HepburnAudrey Hepburn(1929-1993) was a slender, stylish motion picture actress known for her radiant beauty, her ability to project an air of sophistication tempered by a charming innocence, and her tireless efforts to aid needy children.Although born in Belgium, Hepburn had British citizenship through her father and attended school in England as a child. In 1939, however, at the onset of World War II, her mother(Hepburn’s father left the family when she was six years old) moved the child to the Netherlands (where the author of this text mistakenly considered Hepburn was born), thinking the neutral country safer than England. Throughout World War II, Hepburn endured hardships in Nazi-occupied Holland. She still managed, however, to attend school and take ballet lessons. After the war, she continued to study ballet in Amsterdam and in London. During her early 20s, she studied acting and worked as a model and dancer. After appearing in several British films and starring in the 1951 Broadway play Gigi (《琪琪》), Hepburn gained instant Hollywood stardom for playing the Academy Award-winning lead role in Roman Holiday. She remains one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Awards. Hepburn’s war-time struggles inspired her passion for humanitarian work. She devoted much of her later life to UNICEF, visiting famine-stricken villages, in Latin America, Africa, until shortly before her death of cancer in 1993. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in recognition of her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1992.2 UNICEFUNICEF(United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund) was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11,1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. After 1950 the fund directed its efforts toward general programs for the improvement of children’s welfare, particularly in less-developed countries and in various emergency situations. The organization’s broader mission was reflected in the name it adopted in 1953, the United Nations Children’s Fund, but it has continued to be known by the popular acronym based on this old name. Headquartered in New York City, UNICEF provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries. UNICEF’s programs emphasize developing community-level services to promote the health and well-being of children.3 UNICEF Ambassador of GoodwillMany celebrities have acted as international, regional or national ambassadors, depending on their profile,interests, and desired level of responsibility. The role of Goodwill Ambassador allows celebrities with a demonstrated interest in UNICEFissues to use their fame to draw attention to important issues. This may take the form of public appearances and talks, visits to troubled regions, and use of their political access to advocate UNICEF causes, all of which have the power to draw attention from the media and to create public awareness.4 Gregory PeckGregory Peck (1916-2003) was one of the world’s most popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s. He is best known for his performance in the 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor.In 1967 Peck received the Academy’s Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He was also in 1969 for his lifetime humanitarian effort. Always politically progressive, Peck was active in such causes as anti-war protests, workers’ rights and civil rights.5 Billy WilderBilly Wilder (1906-2002) was an Austrian-born American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer artist, and journalist. His career spanned more than 50 years and 60 films. He is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood’s golden age. During his career, Wilder gained 20 Academy Award nominations and won six Oscars. He received a lifetime achievement award from the American Film Institute in 1986.6Academy AwardsAn Academy Award (byname Oscar) is an award presented annually by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science to recognize excellence of professionals in the film industry, including directors , actors , and writers. The award ceremony is one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, and is televised live in more than 200 countries annually.7 Hubert de GivenchyHubert de Givenchy (1927-,) is a French aristocrat and fashion designer who founder The House of Givenchy in 1952. He is famous for having designed much of the personal and professional wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, as well as clothing for clients such as Jacqueline Kennedy. He was named to the International Best Dress List Hall of Fame in 1970.Detailed study of the text1Audrey Hepburn thrilled audiences with starring roles in noteworthy films...

And there does exist a generation gap. But I think it is even harder for children to understand their parents. Parents see their children grow up; they see them laugh when they are happy and cry when they are sad or hurt; they know what their children like and what they don’t like. As a rule, children know very little about their parents when they were children; and parents usually try to conceal their true feeling and emotions from their children. That’s why the 16-year-old boy in our story was very much shocked one day when he saw his mother crying for the first time.VII Exercises: Cloze on page99, translation on page100, and skill (Understanding Figurative Language)VII Exercises outside class:Preview this unitReview the next unit.Do all exercises in our books.Unit Six A day's waitTeaching aims:1.Expand and master vocabulary2.Acquire certain language points3.Improve learners' reading ability4.know of the idea and artistic skill of text5.Ss can master basic structures of the text6.Ss can generalize the main idea of the text and retell the story.Teaching key and difficult points:1 Key words and expressions:absolutely acid commence detached flush gaze icy instruction poise prescribe scatter shiver slack slide unsteadily2 Important structures in the Unit:1) Usage of the combining form therm(o)-2) Usage of the prefix milli-3) be+of +n.= be +adj.Teaching methods:M-M-C; Heuristic; Presentation-practice; Multi-media Group discussion, pair work, games if necessaryTeaching time: 6 periodsTeaching Procedures:I. Information Related to the Text1)About the authorErnest Hemingway (1899---1961) was born in a well-to-do suburb of Chicago. His father was a physician who liked to hunt and fish in his spare time. After graduation from high school, Ernest Hemingway worked briefly as a journalist. In 1917 he went to Italy with a volunteer ambulance unit, then fought as a soldier in the Italian army, and was badly wounded. This experience in World War I gave him materials for many short stories and some of his novels, including The Sun Also Rises (1926) and A Farewell to Arms (1929). During Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), he went to Spain as a journalist, strongly supporting the losing Republican side against the Fascists forces of Franco. His experiences there provided material for one of his best novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). In 1952, he published his masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea. In 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.Death and courage are two of the themes that Hemingway often writes about. Essentially, Hemingway thinks of courage as a person’s ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death. “ A man may be destroyed, but not defeated.” he declared.2)ThermometersA thermometer is an instrument for measuring temperature. Most thermometers have scales marked off in class, the unit in which temperature is measured. The most common scales are: Fahrenheit used in everyday temperature measurement in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32°and the boiling point 212°.Celsius, or Centigrade, used throughout most of the world. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0℃and the boiling point is 100℃.To convert a temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and then add 32. The conversion formulas for these are:Fahrenheit to Celsius: C= 5/9(F--32)Celsius to Fahrenheit: F= 9/5C +32II. Introductory QuestionsThe following questions are designed to check how well the students are prepared for this lesson:1) A day’s wait for what? (For death)2) Who has been waiting a whole day for death? (An American boy.)3) Do es the doctor tell the father that the boy’s illness is dangerous?(NO, he says that there is no danger if pneumonia can be avoided.)4) What does the boy think his illness?(He thinks his illness is very dangerous and he is going to die.)5) Why does the boy think he is going to die?(Because he heard the doctor say his temperature was 102, and when he was in France, the boys told him that no one can live with 44 degrees.)6) How does the boy behave while waiting to die?(He remains calm and controlled in the fate of death.)III. Language Points1. He came into the room to shut the windows…:Obviously, the family in the story has the habit of sleeping with the windows open, even in winter when the temperature outside is below 0℃. The boy has a headache. He guesses he has got a cold. So he goes to his parent’s room to close the windows. He doesn’t want his parents to catch cold as he has done.2. shiver: shake or tremble, esp. from cold or feare.g.---He was shivering after found cheating in the test and taken to the office.---Walking alone at night along the side street, I couldn’t help shivering at the thought of robbery.3. Downstairs, the doctor left …:The use of the word downstairs indicates that it was in the boy’s bedroom upsta irs that the father asked the doctor about the boy’s temperature, so that he was able to hear the doctor say it was 102. When the doctor and the father went downstairs, the boy remained in bed upstairs, so he didn’t hear it when the doctor told the father there was nothing to worry about if the fever didn’t go above 104 degrees.4. bring down: reduce; cause to falle.g.---He wants to bring down his weight from 80 kg to 70 kg, so now he is on a diet.---It has been decided that measurements should be taken to bring down the cost of the project. 5. The germs of influenza can exist in an acid condition:People used to think that flu was caused by germs or bacteria. It was not until 1933 that an influenza virus was identified as the cause of the disease. This is why the doctor in the story (published in 1933) “Who seemed to know all about influenza,” held the mistaken belief that “The germs of influenza can exist in an acid condition”6. Just the same, so far:Here the boy may mean “I am still alive up to now, thought I am going to die.”7. would rather: more willingly; prefer toe.g.---I would rather go today than tomorrow.---I would rather play tennis than swim.---They would rather die than surrender.8. prescribe: order to give sth. as medicine or treatment for a sick person.e.g.---What medicine did the doctor prescribe for your illness?---The doctor prescribed a new medicine for my stomachache.9. scatter: go off in all directionse.g.---The birds scattered into the brush piles at the sound of the gun.---The thieves scattered in all direction at the sight of the policemen.10. they made difficult shooting: they were very difficult to shoote.g.---His handwriting made difficult reading.---Ten times ten makes 100. equal---That event made the headline of all newspapers. occupy---Tom makes $250 a week. earn---This Shanghai-made car can easily make 70 miles an hour on an open highway. Travel---we can make another 100 kilometers before dark. walk11. You mustn’t get what I have:Y ou mustn’t catch the illness I have.This is what the boy had said before his father came back.12. something like: about; approximatelye.g.---Everyday we have something like six classes.---It is a terrible thing that we have to walk something like 500 meters to attend the following two periods.13. keep from: prevent oneself from doing sth. ; stope.g.---He couldn’t help laughing at the sight of his wife’s hair-style---What can we do to keep students from being late for classes?---What shall I do to keep my white skirt from getting dirty?14. absolutely: certainly; completelye.g.---Practice is absolutely vital to the master of a foreign language.---Everyone can absolutely understand Mr. Hemingway’s saying: “A man can be destroyed, but not de feated.”15. miles and kilometers:Kilometers are the measurement of length in the International Metric System while miles are the ones in the U.S. and British system. At the present time, the United States is the only Major country not using the metric system. A kilometer is about three fifths (62%) of a mile (1,609 meters). (1 km ≈0.621 m)16.

Information related to the textabout dramaThe drama is one of several methods of telling a story. It differs from the novel in that the story is not told directly by the author but is acted on a stage by actors before an audience.Most critics agree that the essence of drama is conflict. A conflict is a clash of actions, ideas, desires or wills. It may happen in different forms: man against man, man against environment or man against himself. The conflict becomes more and more intensified as the play moves on until it reaches its climax, the point of greatest excitement or tension. When the story is over, we are able to see what it all amounts to, what the playwright has been gradually disclosing throughout the play. Only then can we define and assess the theme, a kind of generalization about life embodied in the story.II. Warm-up activities1) The characters in the play(omitted)2) The theme of the play:----in most cases the selfishness of human beings, which is usually hidden underneath, is more dangerous to human society than nuclear missiles.3) The conflicts in the play:---the surface level: man vs. man (e.g.: Stockton vs. the others; Weiss vs. the Henderson; Harlowe vs. the others)---the deep level: man vs. himself (his own selfishness, for everyone in the play is selfish although in varying degrees.)4) It is very ironical that the people should suddenly turn against each other after a joyous birthday celebration, during which they were all friends. The dramatic change of the situation has greatly reinforced the meaning of the play.III.

People usually take a hostile attitude towards daydreaming because they think daydreaming is a waste of time and an escape from real life. Well, daydreaming can be a waste of time and an escape. But daydreaming can also do us a lot of good.

And there does exist a generation gap. But I think it is even harder for children to understand their parents. Parents see their children grow up; they see them laugh when they are happy and cry when they are sad or hurt; they know what their children like and what they don’t like. As a rule, children know very little about their parents when they were children; and parents usually try to conceal their true feeling and emotions from their children. That’s why the 16-year-old boy in our story was very much shocked one day when he saw his mother crying for the first time.VII Exercises: Cloze on page99, translation on page100, and skill (Understanding Figurative Language)VII Exercises outside class:Preview this unitReview the next unit.Do all exercises in our books.Unit Six A day's waitTeaching aims:1.Expand and master vocabulary2.Acquire certain language points3.Improve learners' reading ability4.know of the idea and artistic skill of text5.Ss can master basic structures of the text6.Ss can generalize the main idea of the text and retell the story.Teaching key and difficult points:1 Key words and expressions:absolutely acid commence detached flush gaze icy instruction poise prescribe scatter shiver slack slide unsteadily2 Important structures in the Unit:1) Usage of the combining form therm(o)-2) Usage of the prefix milli-3) be+of +n.= be +adj.Teaching methods:M-M-C; Heuristic; Presentation-practice; Multi-media Group discussion, pair work, games if necessaryTeaching time: 6 periodsTeaching Procedures:I. Information Related to the Text1)About the authorErnest Hemingway (1899---1961) was born in a well-to-do suburb of Chicago. His father was a physician who liked to hunt and fish in his spare time. After graduation from high school, Ernest Hemingway worked briefly as a journalist. In 1917 he went to Italy with a volunteer ambulance unit, then fought as a soldier in the Italian army, and was badly wounded. This experience in World War I gave him materials for many short stories and some of his novels, including The Sun Also Rises (1926) and A Farewell to Arms (1929). During Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), he went to Spain as a journalist, strongly supporting the losing Republican side against the Fascists forces of Franco. His experiences there provided material for one of his best novels, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940). In 1952, he published his masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea. In 1954, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.Death and courage are two of the themes that Hemingway often writes about. Essentially, Hemingway thinks of courage as a person’s ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death. “ A man may be destroyed, but not defeated.” he declared.2)ThermometersA thermometer is an instrument for measuring temperature. Most thermometers have scales marked off in class, the unit in which temperature is measured. The most common scales are: Fahrenheit used in everyday temperature measurement in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. On the Fahrenheit scale, the freezing point of water is 32°and the boiling point 212°.Celsius, or Centigrade, used throughout most of the world. On the Celsius scale, the freezing point of water is 0℃and the boiling point is 100℃.To convert a temperature reading in degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 and then multiply by 5/9. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply by 9/5 and then add 32. The conversion formulas for these are:Fahrenheit to Celsius: C= 5/9(F--32)Celsius to Fahrenheit: F= 9/5C +32II. Introductory QuestionsThe following questions are designed to check how well the students are prepared for this lesson:1) A day’s wait for what? (For death)2) Who has been waiting a whole day for death? (An American boy.)3) Do es the doctor tell the father that the boy’s illness is dangerous?(NO, he says that there is no danger if pneumonia can be avoided.)4) What does the boy think his illness?(He thinks his illness is very dangerous and he is going to die.)5) Why does the boy think he is going to die?(Because he heard the doctor say his temperature was 102, and when he was in France, the boys told him that no one can live with 44 degrees.)6) How does the boy behave while waiting to die?(He remains calm and controlled in the fate of death.)III. Language Points1. He came into the room to shut the windows…:Obviously, the family in the story has the habit of sleeping with the windows open, even in winter when the temperature outside is below 0℃. The boy has a headache. He guesses he has got a cold. So he goes to his parent’s room to close the windows. He doesn’t want his parents to catch cold as he has done.2. shiver: shake or tremble, esp. from cold or feare.g.---He was shivering after found cheating in the test and taken to the office.---Walking alone at night along the side street, I couldn’t help shivering at the thought of robbery.3. Downstairs, the doctor left …:The use of the word downstairs indicates that it was in the boy’s bedroom upsta irs that the father asked the doctor about the boy’s temperature, so that he was able to hear the doctor say it was 102. When the doctor and the father went downstairs, the boy remained in bed upstairs, so he didn’t hear it when the doctor told the father there was nothing to worry about if the fever didn’t go above 104 degrees.4. bring down: reduce; cause to falle.g.---He wants to bring down his weight from 80 kg to 70 kg, so now he is on a diet.---It has been decided that measurements should be taken to bring down the cost of the project. 5. The germs of influenza can exist in an acid condition:People used to think that flu was caused by germs or bacteria. It was not until 1933 that an influenza virus was identified as the cause of the disease. This is why the doctor in the story (published in 1933) “Who seemed to know all about influenza,” held the mistaken belief that “The germs of influenza can exist in an acid condition”6. Just the same, so far:Here the boy may mean “I am still alive up to now, thought I am going to die.”7. would rather: more willingly; prefer toe.g.---I would rather go today than tomorrow.---I would rather play tennis than swim.---They would rather die than surrender.8. prescribe: order to give sth. as medicine or treatment for a sick person.e.g.---What medicine did the doctor prescribe for your illness?---The doctor prescribed a new medicine for my stomachache.9. scatter: go off in all directionse.g.---The birds scattered into the brush piles at the sound of the gun.---The thieves scattered in all direction at the sight of the policemen.10. they made difficult shooting: they were very difficult to shoote.g.---His handwriting made difficult reading.---Ten times ten makes 100. equal---That event made the headline of all newspapers. occupy---Tom makes $250 a week. earn---This Shanghai-made car can easily make 70 miles an hour on an open highway. Travel---we can make another 100 kilometers before dark. walk11. You mustn’t get what I have:Y ou mustn’t catch the illness I have.This is what the boy had said before his father came back.12. something like: about; approximatelye.g.---Everyday we have something like six classes.---It is a terrible thing that we have to walk something like 500 meters to attend the following two periods.13. keep from: prevent oneself from doing sth. ; stope.g.---He couldn’t help laughing at the sight of his wife’s hair-style---What can we do to keep students from being late for classes?---What shall I do to keep my white skirt from getting dirty?14. absolutely: certainly; completelye.g.---Practice is absolutely vital to the master of a foreign language.---Everyone can absolutely understand Mr. Hemingway’s saying: “A man can be destroyed, but not de feated.”15. miles and kilometers:Kilometers are the measurement of length in the International Metric System while miles are the ones in the U.S. and British system. At the present time, the United States is the only Major country not using the metric system. A kilometer is about three fifths (62%) of a mile (1,609 meters). (1 km ≈0.621 m)16.

Information related to the textabout dramaThe drama is one of several methods of telling a story. It differs from the novel in that the story is not told directly by the author but is acted on a stage by actors before an audience.Most critics agree that the essence of drama is conflict. A conflict is a clash of actions, ideas, desires or wills. It may happen in different forms: man against man, man against environment or man against himself. The conflict becomes more and more intensified as the play moves on until it reaches its climax, the point of greatest excitement or tension. When the story is over, we are able to see what it all amounts to, what the playwright has been gradually disclosing throughout the play. Only then can we define and assess the theme, a kind of generalization about life embodied in the story.II. Warm-up activities1) The characters in the play(omitted)2) The theme of the play:----in most cases the selfishness of human beings, which is usually hidden underneath, is more dangerous to human society than nuclear missiles.3) The conflicts in the play:---the surface level: man vs. man (e.g.: Stockton vs. the others; Weiss vs. the Henderson; Harlowe vs. the others)---the deep level: man vs. himself (his own selfishness, for everyone in the play is selfish although in varying degrees.)4) It is very ironical that the people should suddenly turn against each other after a joyous birthday celebration, during which they were all friends. The dramatic change of the situation has greatly reinforced the meaning of the play.III.
