Winter SportsPeople in tropical countries can read about winter sports but are unable to participate in them. They cannot build snowmen, throw snowballs, toboggan, or ice-skate. Above all, they cannot go skiing.Someone defined skiing as gliding over the ground on two boards. The sport is popular in America in the states which have snow in the winter months. The pleasure we take in this healthy outdoor activity is shared by the Finns, the Russians, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Germans, the Italians, the Swiss, and the French, who also live in temperate zones with winter climates. But what must people from Egypt, Libya, and Nigeria think of this strange sport?Skiing, unlike tennis and baseball, is not a city sport. Until recently, even in countries with snow, it was limited to mountainous regions. Now there is a new variation that can be enjoyed by everyone. It's called ski touring.A Day of Olympic AthletesAnnouncer: And in today's Sports World we have a special report from Karen Finch who is with the athletes in the Olympic Village in Atlanta. The line's clear. Can you hear me, Karen?Karen: Fine, Barry, just fine.Announcer: Great. So here is Karen Finch with her report from the Olympic Village.Karen: Well, I have two athletes with me in the studio. First, Bo Lundquist.Bo: Hi!Karen: Bo is a cyclist and he's here with the Swedish team. This is your first Olympics, isn't it, Bo?Bo: Yes, it is.Karen: And how do you feel about it?Bo: Happy, very happy.Karen: Let's talk about your training schedule, Bo. I imagine it's pretty hard.Bo: Yes, it is. I get up at five...Karen: Five! And do you start training then?Bo: Well, I have a cup of coffee first. I start training at about five thirty. Y ou know, it's quite cold then.Karen: Right! I'm sure it is. When do you finish training, Bo? Bo: Well, I practice cycling on the track for about two hours. Then I have a short break for breakfast. After that, I do exercises for another few hours. I suppose I finish at about midday.Karen: So you're free after twelve. What do you do then?Bo: You mean, what do I do in my spare time?Karen: Right.Bo: Well, we usually go swimming in the afternoon. That's all. I goto bed early. I want to win a gold for Sweden.Karen: Well, I hope you do. Thank you, Bo Lundquist. Next with me in the studio is Bob Smith. Bob's a long distance runner—the American 3000-meter champion.Bob: Hi!Karen: Hello, Bob. How is your training going?Bob: Fine, just fine. I have a really good program and I think I'm in first-class condition.Karen: Tell me about it, Bob.Bob: Well, I don't like training early in the morning. I don't know why. I just don't like it. So I start around about ten.Karen: Mmm. And what about lunch?Bob: I don't have lunch. Lunch makes me tired. I train all through the day until about five o'clock.Karen: Really? Until five?Bob: Yes! Then I shower and go home.Karen: So you live right here in Atlanta, do you, Bob?Bob: Yes. I'm married. We live on campus at the University. Karen: What do you do in your spare time, Bob?Bob: I don't have much spare time. I'm studying to be a doctor. Karen: You don't have any free time?Bob: Not much. But when I relax I like listening to music. Music isreally special to me.Karen: Well, thank you, Bob and Bo. Good luck! This is Karen Finch at the Olympic Village in Atlanta.Announcer: Thank you, Karen. And now for our other sports news. Tennis...Building Team SpiritBuilding team spirit is always the focal point of what I try to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere. We brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere.The team spirit's very important, but I don't believe in motivating the team as a team. I try to motivate the team as individuals. So I don't give team talks. I speak to the players individually. And I try not to put too much pressure on them. I believe players perform best when they are relaxed. If they're too tense, I can guarantee they won't play well.I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous. I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I'm incompetent if I keep on employing them.It's like that with the team. I get criticized for not interferingduring a game and for not making more substitutions. But I feel if I've chosen those eleven players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.If I'm dropping a player from the team, I don't feel I have to explain it to them. If they want to discuss it, I'll say, "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days' time." But I don't try to remotivate them. It's up to them to have the character to fight back. I'm a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is down to your attitude. If I have a player who is magnificently gifted but has a stinking attitude, I won't waste my time on them.The Olympics: Sport, Not PoliticsEver since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, they've had their critics. Every form of competitive activity attracts trouble. But part of the aim of the Games, when they were first held in ancient Greece, was to discourage war between states by engaging them in a friendlier kind of combat.The spirit of competition in the Games uses up a lot of energy that could be harmfully employed. It does a lot of good, getting people to forget their differences in a communal activity. Any competitor or spectator at the Games or in the Olympic Village will tell you that the atmosphere of friendship there is unforgettable; as if the world were one big family. And the hostilities that the press always likes toexaggerate only exist in a few places. What we suffer from is bad publicity, not bad sportsmanship.These Games are the biggest international gathering of any kind in the world. Not only do they bring sportsmen together, but they unite a world public. Isn't this a sufficient reason for continuing them? Of course, a few people are going to use them as an occasion for propaganda, but this is no reason why the Games should be canceled. Why should every harmless activity be spoiled for the majority by the minority?No! As long as the majority wants it, these Games will continue. This is sport, not politics, and it should remain so.A Big League PitcherWoman: On the matter of careers, a lot of the jobs that people go into are sort of lifetime careers. What about baseball? Is it a career over one's full lifetime?Man: Baseball's been my life so far...you know. I mean, I know someday—could be tomorrow—that I'm going to be out of it... Woman: But how long can you really expect to play, let's say, actively?Man: I've set goals, and I made my first goal, which was to make it to the big leagues. And now, my next goal is to make it through four years...to get my pension.Woman: But how many years can you expect to play professional ball...?Man: I'm a pitcher, and it's difficult, as a pitcher, to really say how many years...because you never know whether you're going to have a sore arm, whether it's going to go out on you, or what other problem might happen. But uh...as a pitcher, I guess the prime—I'm 24 years old now, and this is my sixth year—and the prime time for a pitcher is 27 to 30.Woman: Well, is there any problem with a sort of feeling of insecurity and...Man: Yeah, there is. Especially, like I said—my first year. I disciplined myself, and I worked hard—and that's what got me here. And I realize that I have to work hard to stay here. And there is the insecurity.Woman: You're under contract...Man: Right, I'm under contract. But that doesn't necessarily—I mean, they could send me down tomorrow. They could do whatever they wanted with me.Woman: What does it take to play professionally...? I'm thinking about the skill. Is it something that you just work hard to get, or is there a natural sort of ability that...Man: Well, there're people that have the natural ability, you know. Ifeel like I didn't have... I just worked hard and that's what got me here.Questions:1. What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?2. How old was the man when he began to play as a pitcher?3. What is the prime time for a pitcher?4. What makes the man successful in baseball, according to the dialog?5. What can be inferred from the dialog?6. Which of the following statements is false?7. What kind of feeling does the man have now and then?8. What does the man think of baseball as a career?Fear of SwimmingLearning to swim had been surprisingly easy, thanks to the Navy's policy of dealing with fear by ignoring it. My fear of deep water left after my Navy experience. On the first day in the pool an instructor with a voice like a bullhorn ordered fifty of us to climb a high board and jump in feet first. The board looked about two hundred feet high, though it may have been only twenty or twenty-five. A line was formed to mount the ladder and jump. I drifted to the end of the line, then stepped out when the splashing started and introduced myself to the instructor."I'm a non-swimmer," I said, "shall I go to the shallow end of the pool?" At City College I'd spent four years in the shallow end of the pool."This pool doesn't have a shallow end," the instructor said."Well, what am I going to do?""Get up on that platform and jump," he said.The pool depth was marked as fifteen feet at that point."I'm not kidding. I can't swim at all.""Up! Up!" he shouted."But I'll drown.""This pool's got the best lifesaving equipment in the Navy," he said. "Don't worry about it.""Come on.""I'm giving you an order, mister. Up!"Quaking in every fiber, I climbed the ladder, edged out onto the board, took one look down, and unable to faint, stepped back."Jump!" the instructor roared.I stepped to the edge, closed my eyes, and walked into space. The impact of the water was great, then I was sinking, then... My God! (I)was rising irresistibly to the surface. My head broke water. The water was actually supporting me, just as everybody had always said it would. The instructor glared."You didn't keep your legs straight," he shouted. "Get back up there and do it again."Questions:1. What does the speaker say about learning to swim in the Navy?2. How high was the board?3. What did the instructor do when he found the speaker's problem?4. Why did the speaker eventually jump into the pool?5. What is the best way to overcome fear, according to the speaker?6. How much education did the speaker receive?7. Which of the following can be used to describe the instructor?8. Why did the speaker want to go to the shallow end of the pool?9. Why did the instructor ask the speaker to do it again?10. How did the instructor assure the speaker that he wouldn't drown?Sports and TechnologyFor people interested in sports and the performance of athletes, the last half of the twentieth century has been an interesting time. In some competitive sports, it is clear that greater strength, more rigorous training regimes, and better coaching are the prime factors that have resulted in the ever-increasing levels of performance. So in track and field events, the same distances are run in a shorter time and throwing and jumping events show greater distances and heights.The same factors have produced superior athletic performance in other sports such as wrestling, table tennis and badminton.However, in some instances, it is not merely stronger athletes, more vigorous training and superior coaching which contribute to better and more frequent record-breaking performances, but rather the introduction of new and superior materials and technology that has been responsible for the rapid increase in performance.Computer technology has been incorporated into sports communication and recording/timing equipment, and into the publication of educational and business items associated with sports activity. Even the engineering and construction involved in sports arenas are reaping the rewards of improved technology.And finally, one should recognize that sports clothing itself has contributed to increased athletic performance. All of us are aware of the unique footwear available for each type of sports activity, and some of the claims made by the companies which produce these types of shoes may even be factually true! Lighter, more comfortable clothing of all types has contributed, along with other technologies, to vastly improved athletic performances.So, when you join the growing numbers of fans who cheer their favorite athlete or athletic team to victory, it is worth remembering the technological input which has assisted them in reaching theirpresent performance levels. While it is true that in the last 50 years athletes have pushed the limits of the human body and broken innumerable records, it is equally true that new materials have given them a distinct advantage.。

T:Peter,I can see that you are eager to say something about Disneyland. S:Yes,I take much interest in Disneyland,I really want to say something about Disneyland.Disneyland is so different from other parks that it seemed like a place of fantasy.Visitors can enjoy seeing the characters from Disney films,go on exciting rides,visit castles and get close to life-size cartoon figures.They can also see model villages of life in the past which show how the early settlers in America lived.T:Peter,you did give us a vivid description about Disneyland,and you spoke clearly and fluently.Boys and girls,as people say,Interest is the best teacher,can you see that?It does work.It motivates you to pay attention to what you are interested in,and if you pay much attention to the things you are doing,you will do them better.Ss:We quite agree with you.

Step 3 Post-reading Comprehending activity(P34) T:Let’s come back to the title of the passage THEME PARKS—FUN AND MORE THAN FUN.Why does the writer think that theme parks are places fun and more than fun?I would like you to have a discussion first and then tell us your opinions. S:In my opinion,it means that theme parks are more than amusement parks with rides,such as a Ferris wheel,merry-go-round or a roller coaster,they are such huge places that visitors often use shuttles to get around,and they have lot of things to see and do.At the same time they can learn a lot from these theme parks.So they are places fun and more than fun.T:We have read about some of the different theme parks in the world.Have you ever thought of this question:Why do people build so many different theme parks?I would like you to have a discussion first and then tell three purposes for people building theme parks according to this passage. The students discuss and then write down their answers. T:I can see that you have finished the job.Now check your answers. Suggested answers: Purpose 1:to provide entertainment Explanation:because they have a variety of things to see and do Purpose 2:to make a profit by charging for admission and selling souvenirs Explanation:because they all charge money for admission of the hotels,restaurants,and for the rides and shows in the parks as well,and they sell a lot of souvenirs Purpose 3:to provide people with some unusual experiences Explanation:because there are parks for people to experience the life in the past,in the future,in the ocean and so on T:I think you have got them right!You are really learning a lot. Discussion activity T:If you have enough time and money,would you like to go traveling to see the natural beauty of the country or go to the theme parks to enjoy the exciting experiences?Give your reasons for your choice. A）The teacher divides the class into groups of four.Each group tries to reach an agreement and collect as many reasons as possible from the group members. B）After the discussion,the teacher asks a student from each of the group to go to another group and report the decision of their group and to give their reasons for decision. Step 4 Language Focus T:You are really improving in learning co-operatively!We still have some time,so let’s see how some of the useful words and expressions are used in the passage.1.What do you suppose a theme park is? “Suppose” in this sentence means “to consider as possible;to believe;imagine;assume”.For example: What do you suppose he wanted? Everybody supposes him (to be) poor,but he is quite wealthy. 2.Though parks share this basic purpose,they find various ways to meet this need.“Various” is an adjective,and means “different;several,a number of”.For example:There are various ways of cooking eggs. Shenzhen is filled with people from various parts of China. 3.They all charge money for admission,and for the rides and shows in the park.In this sentence,“charge” means ask in payment.For example: The hotel charged me $30 for a room for the night. The railway charges half-price for university students. 4.Theme parks have a certain idea—a certain theme—that the whole park is based on. Here the phrase “base sth.on/upon...”means “use sth. as grounds,evidence,etc.for sth.else”.For example: One should always base one’s opinions on facts. The film is based on a novel by wrence. 5.Its purpose is to involve visitors in physical exercise and athletic competition.“Involve” here has the meaning of becoming connected or concerned.For example:Don’t involve other people in your trouble. I got involved in the quarrel between Joan and Mary. Step 5 Homework T:So much for today.Thank you for your good performance and co-operation!Now it’s homework for you today. 1.Write a summary of the reading passage using the key words. 2.Preview the Learning about language part. 3.Find and learn the beautiful sentences you like in the reading passage by heart.The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard Unit 5 Theme parks Period 1 Warming up &
