His exciting early life as a boy.BSan Francisco is where I grew up between the ages of two and ten and where I lived for a period when I was about 13 and again as a married man from the ages of 37 to 51. My mother, who is now 90, still lives in Los Gatos, about 60 miles south of San Francisco. I settled in London over 25 years ago.I was born in New York and I love the United States. I knew it well, having played in every town and, during the war, in every army camp. I have grown new roots in London as I did in France and if I am asked now where I want to live for ever, I would say London. But I will always remain an American citizen.San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn’t go to school. My whole formal education lasted three hours when I was five. I was sent to school but came home at noon on the first day and said I didn’t enjoy it, and I hadn’t learned anything. My parents decided, wisely I think, that school was not for me and I never went back.My mother then took over my education and brought up my two sisters and me rather in the way of an English lady who had a good education. A lot of attention was paid to languages and reading rather than sciences and mathematics. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers and we were required to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park and on our walks my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I’d like to have it. I couldn’t’t roll my “r” when I was small and my mother, who was very strict with pronunciation, said if I could pronounce an “r” well. I’d have the toy train. I practised and one morning woke everybody up with my “r” s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life—but I work hard for them.1.

He had his education all home by_______.A. his mother and other teachersB. an English lady who had good educationC. his mother and two sistersD. teachers of languages and sciences5.

Unit 5 Theme ParksReading---教案AimsTo help students develop their reading ability.To help students learn about Theme parks.ProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by discussingGood morning, class. Today we are going to visit theme parks. But first what do you think a theme park is? With a classmate discuss what you might do in a theme park.(For reference: A large Christmas party is being prepared at our Theme park. Visitors will find a dancing carnival, a European wedding, military band performances, classical Christmas plays and Christmas parades in the theme park. The 108-meter-tall Eiffel Tower will be lit up during the holidays with four types of lights.)Warming up by watching and listeningHi, every one. Today we are going to visit Theme parks. Look at the screen and listen to me telling you about them.This is the Universal's Islands of Adventure which was opened in 1999, making Universal Orlando the nation's second multi-gate theme park resort (after Walt Disney World). IoA was Universal's first non-studio theme park, and was intended to pay tribute to characters from books, comics, cartoons and legend, rather than movies.Of course, that hasn't stopped Universal and other studios from making films about almost every character represented in IoA over the past few years, rendering the park thematically indistinguishable from its sister, Universal Studios Florida.Warming up telling experiencesNice to see you again, boys and girls. As you have all travelled somewhere before I shall ask two ofyou at random to tell the class about their travel experiences.(For reference: Visiting Disney World was a childhood dream of mine, and I was able to realise it last year. I plan to keep going back, even given the overt commercialism. It is not a place I could live in, but it definitely has magic.One of the best parts was that I was able to interact with most of the Disney characters, even though their appearance and mannerisms varied from the Disney comic books I read. A few select pictures are included here, but my recommendation if you're taking a kid is to make sure they get some time with the characters. I can't think of anything cooler. )II. Pre-reading1. Looking and sayingWork in pairs. Look at the photos and theme parks and predict the contents of the text. When you are ready, join another pair and compare your predictions and the clues that helped you to make the predictions.(For reference: From the photos and title I guess that the text tells about Theme parks where you can joy yoursel ves and have fun with various activities…2. Talking and sharingWork in groups of four. Tell your group mates what you know about theme parks. Then the group leader is to stand up and share your group idea with the class.Boating LakePedaloe boats on our boating lake with views of Megafobia. Suitable for up to five people.(For reference: As you wander down Mainstreet USA in the Magic Kingdom Park of Walt Disney World, you might stop and take a peek in the Mainstreet Theatre. Here, Steamboat Willie shows how it all began depicting the first appearance of Mickey Mouse. At this point people usually stop for a bit, perhaps to rest from the hot Florida summer, laugh at Mickey's antics as he uses various animals as musical instruments (long before Beavis and Butthead were throwing cats in drying machines), and walk away amused and entertained.That was Walt Disney's primary goal. Today, people might consider the first cartoon featuring Mickey as art, along with a host of other creative works produced by people who work at Disney. Notable among them are Carl Barks and Don Rosa, whose works sell in the thousands. However, Walt Disney himself never thought that what he, and his employees, did was art: "I don't pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean." )III. Reading1. Reading aloud to the recordingNow please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text THEME PARKS ——FUN AND MORE THAN FUN. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses within each sentence. I will play the tape twice and you shall read aloud twice, too.2.

Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.Collocations from THEME PARKS ——FUN AND MORE THAN FUNprovide sb.

Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraphSkim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph. You may find it either at the beginning, the middle or the end of the paragraph.WaterfallA steep shoot sends you skipping across a shallow pool of water on a single sledge. Beware, you might get wet on this ride.(For reference: 1st paragraph: Parks provide people with a place to amuse themselves and to escape their busy lives for a while. 2nd paragraph: Many parks have been designed to provide entertainment. 3rd paragraph: Theme parks have a certain idea— a certain theme—that the whole park is based on. 4th paragraph: Some are history or culture theme parks. 5th paragraph: The oldest theme park in the world is Disneyland, built near Los Angeles, California in 1955. 6th paragraph: There are also science theme parks. )4. Reading and transferring informationRead the text again to complete the table.THEME PARKS ——FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhat is a park?What is a theme park?What is a sports theme park?What are history or cultural theme parks?Facts about DisneylandFacts about marine, ocean, and science theme parks5. Reading and understanding difficult sentencesAs you have read the text times, you can surely tell which sentences are difficult to understand. Now put your questions concerning the difficult points to me the teacher.IV. Closing downClosing down by doing exercisesTo end the lesson you are to do the comprehending exercises No. 1, 2 and 3 on page 34.Closing down by having a discussionDo you lake a theme park? Why or why not?(For reference: All over the world people seek stimulating experiences to take their mind away from everyday troubles, and the United States is definitely no exception to this rule. Most of its residents have the money and time to entertain themselves as it pleases them -- and visiting amusement parks certainly does please them. )Closing down by defining a theme parkWhat is a theme park? Define it in your own words.(For reference: How do theme parks differ from ordinary amusement parks? National Amusement Park History Association defines a theme park as "an amusement park in which the rides, attractions, shows and buildings revolve around a central theme or group of themes. Examples include the Disney parks, the Six Flags Parks and the Paramount parks." An amusement park, according to NAPHA, is "an entertainment facility featuring rides, games, food and sometimes shows." The World of Coasters’ glossary defines a theme park as "an amusement park which has one or more "themed" areas, with rides and attractions keyed to the theme of their location within the park. Disneyland, Knotts Berry Farm, and Busch Gardens Williamsburg are examples of theme parks." )。
