We talked about happiness and how to become happy by discussing six pictures.T: Yes, that’s it. Usually, we become unhappy because of this or that, and can cheer up again with the help of our friends or parents. But have you ever thought about the disabled?S: They suffer a lot both physically and mentally.S: I think it is very difficult for them to do things.S: We should help them.…T: Quite right! However, there are many disabled people, who defeated unexpected difficulties and succeeded finally and set good examples to us. Can you give me some examples?S: Sima Qian in western Han Dynasty composed Shih Chi.S: Sun Zi, whose feet were cut, wrote the Art of War.S: Hellen Keller, who lost eyesight and hearing, entered Harvard and Cambridge to study and became a great writer and educator.…T: Well done! All these people encourage us so much. And if you suffered from what they had experienced, what would you do?S: I would push for success.S: I would do something I can to make my life colourful.S: I wanted to learn something.S: I would do something to help others. I always believe helping others can make ushappy.T: Great! All of you hold positive attitudes towards this. And today we will read an interview. The main character in the interview is Sang Lan. Do you know anything about her?S: I know she was once a gymnast.T: Yes, what’s more?S: She had an accident during one of her practice vaults and got injured severely.T: That is a shock to everyone. How did she overcome the difficulties, and how is she now? Let’s move to the text.Step ⅡFast-readingGet the students to read the text quickly and find out the answers to the questions in Part A.T: Now go through the text quickly, and answer the questions in Part A.A few minutes later.T: Now who would like to answer the questions?S: The topic of the TV interview is about the search for happiness.T: That’s right. Next question: What’s the name of the psychologist?S: The psychologist’s name is Dr. Brain.T: Good. The last question: When and where was Sang Lan born?S: She was born in Ningbo, China in 1981.Step ⅢCareful-readingGet the students to read the text carefully and learn more detailed information and then do Exercise C.T: You have done a very good job in answering the three questions. And now I will give you some more minutes to read the text carefully. Then try to do True or False questions in C1 on Page 20. If the statement is wrong, please try to correct it. Several minutes later, check the answers together.T: Excellent! You have done a very good job.Step ⅣPost-readingGet the students to do Exercises C2, D, E and F.T: Now you have got a better understanding of the text. Next, let’s do some exercises. First, ask the students to glance at Exercise C2 and D, the read Reading part again to finish them.Several minutes later. Check the answers together.T: Well done! Now let’s look at Exercise E. This is a newspaper article about Sang Lan.I will give you several minutes to complete the article.Several minutes later.T: Shall we check the answers now? I will ask some of you to read the article first. Ask some students to read the article and check the answers together.T: Well done! Next let’s talk about Exercise F in pairs, and la ter I’ll ask some of you to show us your dialogue. Are you clear?Ss: Yes!Give the students enough time to do that. Then check the answers.Sample dialogue:A: Have you ever heard about the story of Sang Lan?B: Yes, of course! She is very famous in gymnastics, which is a dangerous sport, only top athletes should be allowed to try the most difficult moves.A: Why do you think so?B: Because these athletes, who could be chosen to take part in the inter national games, must be talents in this field. They are trained professionally and practice almost day and night, bearing tiredness, hardship, and other things that we have never thought about.A: I do think so. But I also think that even though we can not be the top athletes in the world, training hard at a sport can make us more hard-working in other areas of our life.B: I can’t agree more. Training hard at a sport not only helps us build up our determination, challenge various difficulties bravely, and also helps us learn to collaborate with other team members.A: Yes. From the story of Sang Lan, we can find that the sport spirit can help her hold a positive attitude towards her life and the world.B: So, she keeps busy and thin ks about positive things to enrich her life.A: By doing so, she will think little about herself and more about others. When she recalls all these meaningful things she has done, she’ll be very happy.B: Quite right!Step V DiscussionEnable the students to talk about their experiences to overcome the difficulties and become happy.T: Up to now, we have learned the story about Sang Lan and her struggle for happiness. And what can we learn from her? Next, combine your own experience and discuss the questions with your partners. I will give you some minutes to finish the task.Show the students the following questions.1. Have you ever had some painful experiences?2. If you have, how did you search for your happiness?Give the students some time to discuss the questions in groups of four.During this period, the teacher may go into the students to give them help if necessary. After several minutes, check the answers.T: Well, time is up. Have you finished the discussion?Ss: Yes.T: OK. I’ll ask some of you to tell your stories.S: When I was twelve years old, I had a bad accident. I was knocked over by a car. After two months of treatment, I was nearly recovered. But I couldn’t stand up easily. So I had to sit in the wheelchair. It was a shock to me. I was so afraid tobecome disabled. During that period of time, I felt very frustrated. Fortunately, my parents and my friends gave me much encouragement. They spared every free minute to stay with me and help me do exercise. Because of their encouragement and help, I cheered up again. I was determined to stand up again. Now I am as healthy as the others. After that experience, I realised that be optimistic, and everything will become better.T: Very good. You are brave. I believe in the future nothing will stop you. You will have a bright future.S2: To me, the most painful experience was the first month in the school. My home is far from here, so I had to be in residence(住校). I could meet my parents once a week. I felt so lonely. Everything was new to me. In that month, my study fell behind sharply. However, I thought, I couldn’t be like that any more. My aim was to get further education, not to miss my parents. So I concentrated on study. In my spare time, I tried to tal k with my classmates and made friends with them.Everything became better an d better afterwards.S: The painful experience I had was my failure in one exam. I had never failed in any exams before. That time I felt frustrated and even lost heart in my study. After a talk with my teacher, I realized: No pains, no gains. I looked back upon my attitude towards study before. Even the easiest things will become hard for you if you don’t try. So now I try my best to do everything. The results turn out that my effort is not in vain. I feel satisfied and happy.T: Good! You have expressed yourselves very clearly.Step ⅥText analysisHelp the students learn something about interview.T: The text we learned today is an interview. Can you tell me how to read an interview?S: First I will get the topic of the interview. And then I will read the questions and answers carefully.T: Good! Let’s read a reading strategy to know how to read an interview. Please open your books to Page 19.After several minutes.T: Can you tell me what an interview is?S: An interview takes place when one pe rson asks another person a series of questions on a topic.T: When reading an interview, what is important for us to do?S: It is important to carefully scan the first paragraph to find out the topic of the interview.T: What should we do after that?S: Then we should carefully read each question and try to fully understand the question before reading the interviewee’s response.T: If we want to get a better understanding of the topic, what should we do?S: We should pay special attention to the answer to the question.T: Thank you, very good.

Unit 2 What is happiness to you?【美文阅读】How to Be Happy在这个竞争激烈的社会里,有几个人曾想过慢下来,静下来享受自我,享受平凡带来的快乐……Happiness is important for everyone.Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness.Happiness depends on ourselves.In other words, we make our own happiness.Here are a few ways to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life.Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present, you should enjoy life's simple pleasures such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music,or spending time with close friends.People who have several close friends tend to live happier and healthier lives.The second secret to leading a happy life is to be active.Many people experience this,dancing or playing asport.You can forget about your problems,and only think about the activity itself.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer ( 自愿;主动提供) their time to do many meaningful things for other people.If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone.You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to getfood for an old neighbor, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.【诱思导学】1.How many ways are you given to be happier in the above passage? And what are they?2. Do you agree with “people can find happiness in helping others”?【答案】 1.Three.To enjoy the simple things in life; to be active;to find happiness in helping others.2.Yes.Helping others is also a pleasure for me, and I'm always willing to help others.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。

Do you still remember the two texts? What do they tell about? Who can briefly tell us the summaries of them?S: The first one is about an old man’s opinion about happiness. He thinks the golden days at school we re the happiest of his life. Because at that time, he didn’t have any worries in life. He may play freely with his friends and spend a few hours studying. He needn’t think about problems at work, or worry about income or how to take care of a family. When he was young, he also had good health. That is an important part of happiness. So that was the happiest time in his life.T: Well done. And the next one?S: The second text is about a girl’s opinion about happiness. She thinks her happiness is in the future. Because in the future, new technology will allow people to live longer and be healthier. She also will be successful in her job. People will have learned to fix many of the problems that affect us now. Robots and computers will assist us with the things that are boring. That is why she thinks her happiest days will be in the future.T: Very good! You have done a very good revision. Today we’ll read another two texts. Please open your books to Page 112.Step Ⅱ Lead-in and Fast-reading (Text A)T: We have learned that different people have different opinions about happiness. But I think whether the happiness lies in the past or in the future, there is a time that is the happiest for all. Can you guess when it is?Ss: The wedding time.T: I think so. In a wedding ceremony the bride and the groom are the happiest in the world. Have you ever attended any wedding ceremonies?Ss: Yes!T: Can you tell us something about that?S: In the morning the groom will go to the bride’s to get the bride. Before entering the bride’s, the groom has to knock at the door to beg the relatives of the bride to open the door. And the relatives will ask the groom for some money for fun. The groom can only see his bride by overcoming many difficulties. In the evening, there will be a wedding dinner. Sometimes the couple will be asked to play many games.T: Yes, it is a brief introduction of the wedding custom of Han nationality. Today we will learn about more wedding customs in different countries. Read the passage quickly and then answer the questions:How many wedding customs are mentioned in the text? And what countries do they belong to separately?Get the students to read through the passage.T: Now, time is up. Let’s check the answers. How many wedding customs are mentioned in the text?S: Five wedding customs are mentioned in the text. They are in the USA, in France and Germany, in Greece and Italy, and in England.T: That is the answer. Thank you.Step Ⅲ Careful-reading (Text A)Get the students to understand the passage thoroughly.T: You have done very well. Please read the text again carefully, and then answer the questions below the text. This time I will give you five minutes to read. About five minutes later.T: OK, now let’s check the answers. The first question.S: Jumping over a brush in African-American weddings represents the beginning of family life.T: Good! That is the old tradition for African-American. Today some African-American weddings still include the old tradition. Now next question, who will answer it?S: I will try. In Germany, weddings often last for three days.T: Yes, you are right. Can you explain it in detail?S: OK. On Thursday, there is a simple ceremony at a government office noting the official marriage of the couple. Then the couple will have a dinner with family and close friends. On Friday, there is a wedding-eve party. Then on Saturday, there is a religious ceremony in a church, followed by another party when the bride and groom celebrate the wedding with friends and relative again.T: Very good! And what about the third one?S: In Greece and Italy, people eat special kinds of sweets at the wedding and they also have their own special wedding dances.T: Right! Next question.S: The Russian couples tie a doll to their wedding car if they want to have a daughter. If they want to have a son, they tie a toy bear.T: OK. And the last question.S: The woman who catches the bouquet is supposed to be the next person to get married. T: Good, well done. I believe every one of you have had a better understanding of the text. Right?Ss: Yes!T: Good! Now let’s move to the next text.Step Ⅳ Lead-in (Text B)T: Have you ever read Jane Eyre?S: Yes!T: What’s the end of the story?S: She and her busband lead a happy life.T: So, what qualities do you think help her find the happiness.S: I think it should be diligence. Or we can say hard-working.S: Self-confident.S: Strong-willed.S: Positive no matter how hard the time is.S: Do what she thinks is right.…T: Yes, I think all the qualities are important. Now we will read a book review of Jane Eyre. After numerous difficulties, Jane Eyre won her happiness at last. It is one of the literary classics of the nineteenth century. Do you know the writer of the novel?S: She is Charlotte Bronte.T: You are right. Before reading the text, let’s learn something about the author. Show the students the following introduction:Charlotte is the author of Jane Eyre and a member of the remarkable Bronte family. The sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne first published their poetry under pseudonyms: Poems by Currer, Ellis and Acton Bell (三姐妹的笔名:柯勒·贝尔、艾利斯·贝尔、阿克顿·贝尔)was released in 1846, selling only a few copies. Charlotte’s novel Jane Eyre was published in 1847, shortly after Emily’s Wuthering Heights; the sisters had almost simultaneously written what later became known as two of the great novels of English literature. Jane Eyre was an immediate success and Charlotte went on to publish Shirley(《雪莉》1848) and Villette(《维莱特》1853). She outlived her sisters but still was only 38 when she died in pregnancy. Charlotte was the only one of the sisters to marry. Her novel The Professor(《教师》1857)was written before Jane Eyre but not published until 1857. As children the three sisters and their brother Branwell dreamed up and wrote intricate histories of the fantasy kingdoms of Angria and Gondal; Legends of Angria, a collection of Charlotte’s childhood writings, was published in 1933.Step Ⅴ Careful-reading (Text B)T: As you have read the novel before, I think it is easy for you to understand the book review. Now I will give you five minutes to read the passage carefully. And then try to answer the questions below the passage.About five minutes later.T: OK, time is up. Let’s check the answers. Who will answer the first question?S: I will. Helen believes that it is better to do without the things you want. But Jane believes that both rich and powerful people and poor people deserve equal human rights.T: Very good. That’s the answer. Next one.S: Jane is still unhappy because she realizes that women do not have the freedom to choose what they want to do —she has become a teacher because she has no other choice.T: Yes, actually at that time, women couldn’t enjoy the equal rights as men. Now the third question.S: Although Jane loves Rochester, she knows since his wife is still alive, it would not be a good idea to stay with him. So she makes the difficult decision to leave him.T: A good answer! Who will answer the next question?S: Jane doesn’t truly love St John Rivers, so she refuses him even though he is a good man.T: Right! Now let’s move to the last question.S: Jane finds happiness in the end by following what she believes is right.T: Good! You all have done a good job.Step Ⅵ Self-assessmentT: In this unit, we have learned a lot, which are all listed on Page 32. Next, let’s do a self-assessment to check if you have mastered all the skills in the unit well. Rank your confidence level.Several minutes laterT: Have you finished?

Unit 2 What is happiness to you【导读】《简·爱》(Jane Eyre)是英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特创作的长篇小说,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。
阅读下面选取的有关亲情的节选,对比中外文化中对亲情态度的异同。
Jane Eyre(excerpt)The red roomWe could not go for a walk that afternoon.There was sucha freezing cold wind,and such heavy rain,that we all stayedindoors.I was glad of it.I never liked long walks,especiallyin winter.I used to hate coming home when it was almost dark,with icecold fingers and toes,feeling miserable becauseBessie,the nursemaid,was always scolding me.All the time Iknew I was different from my cousins,Eliza,John and GeorgianaReed.They were taller and stronger than me,and they were loved.These three usually spent their time crying and quarrelling,but today they were sitting quietly around their mother in the sittingroom.I wanted to join the family circle,but Mrs Reed,my aunt,refused,Bessie had complained about me.“No,I'm sorry,Jane.Until I hear from Bessie,or see for myself,that you are really trying to behave better,you cannot be treated as a good,happy child,like my children.”“What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.“Jane,it is not polite to question me in that way.If you cannot speak pleasantly,be quiet.”I crept out of the sittingroom and into the small room next door,where I chosea book full of pictures from the bookcase.I climbed on to the window—seat and drew the curtains,so that I was completely hidden.I sat there for a while.Sometimes I looked out of the window at the grey November afternoon,and saw the rain pouring down on the leafless garden.But most of the time I studied the book and stared,fascinated,at the pictures.Lost in the world of imagination,I forgot my sad,lonely existence for a while,and was happy,I was only afraid that my secret hidingplace might be discovered.Suddenly the door of the room opened.John Reed rushed in.“Where are you,rat?” he shouted.He did not see me behind the curtain.“Eliza! Georgiana! Jane isn't here! Tell Mamma she's run out into the rain—what a bad animal she is!”“How lucky I drew the curtain,” I thought.He would never have found me,because he was not very intelligent.But Eliza guessed at once where I was.“She's in the windowseat,John,” she called from the sittingroom.So I came out immediately,as I did not want him to pull me out.“What do you want?” I asked him.“Say,‘What do you want,Master Reed’,” he answered,sitting in an armchair.“I want you to come h ere.”John Reed was fourteen and I was only ten.He was large and rather fat.He usually ate too much at meals,which made him ill.He should have been at boarding school,but his mother,who loved him very much,had brought him home for a month or two,because she thought his health was delicate.John did not love his mother or his sister,and he hated me.He bullied and punished me,not two or three times a week,not once or twice a day,but all the time.My whole body trembled when he came near.Sometimes he hit me,sometimes he just threatened me,and I lived in terrible fear of him.I had no idea about how to stop him.The servants did not want to offend their young master,and Mrs Reed could see no fault in her dear boy.So I obeyed John's order and approached his armchair,thinking how very ugly his face was.Perhaps he understood what I was thinking,for he hit me hard on the face.“That is for your rudeness to Mamma just now,” he said,“and for your wickedness in hiding,and for looking at me like that,you rat!” I was so used to his bullying that I never thought of hitting him back.“What were you doing behind that curtain?” he asked.“I was reading,” I answered.“Show me the book.” I gave it to him.《简·爱》(节选)红房子那天下午,我们不能出去散步。
寒风刺骨,大雨瓢泼,大家都待在家里,我倒是因此感到高兴。
我从来不喜欢走长路,特别是在冬天。
过去我最讨厌回到家时天色已暗,手脚冰凉,女仆贝茜总是训斥我而使我痛苦不堪。
无论何时我都懂得我和我的表兄妹——里德家的伊丽莎、约翰和乔治娜不一样。
他们不仅比我高大、强壮,而且还受宠。
这三个人常常吵闹不休,但今天却和妈妈一起静静地坐在起居室里。
我也想加入他们,可我的舅妈里德太太不允许。
贝茜告了我的状。
“对不起,简。
如果不听到贝茜说或是由我亲眼看到你的确努力要学好,你就不能像我的孩子那样,被当成是快乐的好孩子。
”“贝茜说我干什么了?”我问。
“简,这样问我是不礼貌的。
如果你不能好好讲话,就闭嘴。
”我悄悄退出起居室,走进隔壁的小房间,从书架上选了一本图画书。
我爬上窗台,拉好窗帘,把自己整个藏了起来。
我坐了一会儿,时而望望窗外。
11月的午后天气阴沉,大雨倾泻在秃枝枯叶的花园里。
不过大部分时间,我认真读着书,完全被书中的图画吸引住了。
我沉浸在想象的世界中,暂时忘掉了伤心和孤单,只感到快活。
我唯一担心的就是我的秘密藏身处可能会被发现。
突然,门开了,约翰·里德冲了进来。
“老鼠,你在哪儿?”他叫着,没有看到窗帘后面的我。
“伊丽莎!乔治娜!简不在这儿!告诉妈妈她跑出去淋雨了。
真是个畜生!”“幸好我拉上了窗帘,”我心想。
他永远找不到我,因为他并不聪明。
可是,伊丽莎一下子就猜出了我在哪里。
“约翰,她在窗台上。
”她在起居室喊道。
于是,我赶紧走了出来,因为我不希望他来拽我。
“你想怎样?”我问道。
“说‘里德主人,您想要什么’,”他坐在椅子上说。
“我要你过来。
”约翰·里德已经14岁了,而我只有10岁。
他长得又高又胖,常常狼吞虎咽吃得太多,以致闹病。
他本该上寄宿学校的,可是他妈妈太宠他,把他接回家一两个月,因为她觉得他身体弱。
