Reading:Before I learnt how to read, my father used to read comic strips in the newspaper to me while I looked at the pictures. I always laughed at the funny pictures and the humorous things that the characters said. As I got older, I learnt how to draw pictures, and I began reading comic books. My favourite comic book is Batman, which was first published in 1939 by DC Comics, one of the two biggest comic book publishers in the USA. Batman is a superhero, and he fights crime in Gotham City. Batman was made into five successful films between 1989 and 2005. It was very exciting to see my favourite superhero come alive on the screen! Batman is not the only comic book that was made into a film. Superman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four and X-men have also become live-action films. Recently, I have been thinking that I would like to be a comic book artist in the future. I enjoy drawing and love comic books, so it seems like the perfect occupation for me.I have been researching what I need to do to become a comic book artist. The first thing I need to do is make a portfolio, which is a collection of my best work. My portfolio should show that I am capable of creating original drawings. I also have several ideas for comic book characters. It is not enough just to draw pictures of a character in different poses, though. I need to show the publisher that I can create a story using pictures, so my portfolio should have a series of drawings that tell a story. In addition to drawing my character well, I also have to be able to draw background scenes, such as city landscapes.As many comic book writers want to work for DC Comics and Marvel, the otherlarge American comic book publisher, getting a job at one of these companies is very difficult. I might consider working for a smaller company at first. Then after I have some experience I can try to get a job at DC Comics, which has published some of my favourite comic books.I hope I can achieve my dream of being a comic book artist soon.(1) The writer likes comic books because __________.A. his father used to read them to himB. the stories and pictures are very interestingC. he works for a comic book publisherD. they often come alive on theatre screens(2) Batman is an example of __________.A. a film that was made into a comic bookB. a newspaper comic stripC. a comic book published by MarvelD. a comic book that has been made into films(3) In order to get a job as a comic book artist, you must show __________.A. some new ideasB. that you can tell a story using picturesC. that you can tell humorous storiesD. a comic book that you have drawn yourself(4) A portfolio is __________.A. a collection of an artist’s best workB. an idea for a comic bookC. a collection of comic booksD. a drawing of a comic book character(5) Many comic book artists want to work for DC Comics and Marvel because __________.A. they are two biggest comic book publishers in the USAB. they turn comic books into filmsC. they have been publishing comic books since 1939Complete the related exercises of the Workbook.。

Unit 3 Inventors and inventions【美文阅读】Wireless charging for mobile phones by 2012近日，日本的富士通公司宣布，他们开发出了一套能为手机等便携式电子设备无线充电的系统。

Fujitsu，a Japanese technology company，has created a system capable of simultaneously(同时地) charging many portable electronic devices such as mobile phones，digital cameras and laptops without the need for cable(电缆)connections.Electric car users may also eventually be able to charge their vehicles wirelessly using the same technology according to Fujitsu，which displayed a model system at an Institute of Electronics，Information and Communication Engineers conference.Claiming to be the world's first of its kind，the technology works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic(磁的)fields between the charger and the electronic device.The system makes it possible to charge wirelessly at distances of up to several meters，and Fujitsu aims to provide public “charging spots”on the streets in order to provide easy charging day and night.Scientists at Fujitsu Laboratories are planning to commercially sell products combining the new wireless charging system as early as 2012.Mobile phone users in Japan can currently charge their batteries using portable battery devices­available at most train stations and convenience stores－although phone companieswarn this can damage the phones.The new system invented by Fujitsu，however，is much more advanced and represents the next generation of portable recharging systems using flexible wireless technology.The company added，“We are also looking at applying the results of this work to fields other than portable electronics，including power transmission between circuit boards(电路板) or computer chips，and providing mobile charging systems for electric cars.”【诱思导学】1．How does the wireless charging technology work?____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】It works on the basis of the transmission of electricity using magnetic fields between the charger and the electronic device.2．When can consumers probably buy products using the new wireless charging system?______________________________________________【答案】As early as 2012.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标本课时主要是通过学生对学案所给出的内容的学习，了解本课文中所出现的词汇，初步了解课文以及相关的背景知识，为下一堂课对课文的全面理解起到一个铺垫作用。

The quickest and cheapest way may be a telephone conversation. So you ring up one of his engineers to ask what kind of person he needs. Now work in pairs and make a telephone conversation with your partner. Remember to ask for as much information as you can. Of course, we have learned about how to make telephone calls in English-speaking countries. Who can give me some examples?S: I’ll try. When making a t elephone call, we often say: Hello! Is that... speaking? Yes, this is... Can I take a message? Wait a minute, please, and so on.T: But the following expressions may be of great help.

Is that James Dyson’s company?E: Yes, Who’s that?S: This is Li Ping. Is that the personnel manager?E: Just a moment, please. Sorry. He isn’t here right now. Can I take a message?S: No, thanks. Maybe I’ll ring him again some other time. By the way, May I ask you some questions?E: Sure, go ahead.S: I want to apply for a job in your company and I want to ask what kind of person you need.E: Well, as far as I know, we need some skilled workers who are good at machinery and have a good knowledge of repairing some electrical equipment used at home, for example washing machine, refrigerator, electric fan and so on.S: Are we graduates needed in some departments in your company?E: It’s hard to say now. Maybe you will have some chance to work and learn in some department, but you have to wait and see. If you are free, you may call the personnel manager at three o’clock this afternoon.S: OK, I will. By the way, how much will I get if I can work as your colleague?E: Usually the average salary for newcomers is $2,000 per month. And you may get a rise if you progress well or have some invention in your work.S: Well, I know. I must ring off now because I have to go back home for lunch. Thanks a lot. Bye!E: Goodbye and good luck!T: Next please swap roles and answer your partner’s questions. Remember you must behave as if you are a member of Dyson’s company and answer the questions honestly.Step Ⅱ Listening and speakingT: Zhou Rui has decided to do a project on a living British inventor called James Dyson. So he telephoned Dyson’s company in England to interview one of its engineers about the great man’s ideas. Now listen to the conversation between them and finish the exercises on page 26.

These days, cell phones provide an unbelievable array of functions, and new ones are being added at a breakneck pace. Now look at the pictures and questions on page 62. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions.Sample answers:S1: A mobile phone can now be used to receive phone calls, send and receive messages, listen to music, watch videos, surf the internet and so on. I find it very useful to use the mobile phones to make telephone calls and send and receive messages because we should always be informed and it’s important and necessary to communicate with each other in modern society. I also expect a mobile phone to show pictures of the person I call so that we can see clearly whether we are calling the right person and I hope one day we can use it to have meetings with people in the distance, and see films and show DVD in public.S2: Nowadays mobile phones can be used to do calculations, record pictures in life, play games, chat online, set time limit, wake up people, find out various information online and so on. I find they are very useful because we can enjoy ourselves when we use them to play games and chat online and talk with friends about different subjects.I expect mobile phones can be used one day to watch TV, cook meals, pick up foreign languages, do homework and take exams for me. Then I’ll be free from different kinds of worries and complaints and live a more comfortable and convenient life in the future.T: Goo d! You have known much about mobile phones and we’ll listen to some other functions of them, which you might feel more interested in. Now, listen and do Part 2 and then answer the questions in Part 3. While listening, please make notes as follows. OK?Show the following.The mobile Mary will buy:The extra applications of mobiles:The extra application of the 3-G mobiles:The reason why Mary is worried:The advantages of the 3-G mobiles:What might go wrong?Then check the answers with the students.Step Ⅳ LISTENING TASK (Workbook)Deal with the LISTENING TASK on page 67.T: First look at the three pictures on page 67 and discuss what inventions they might be.
