Franz：And I’m your butler，Fraulein.M：Oh，well，how do you do? Hmm.Franz：Wait here，please.(While waiting，Maria enters a hall.It is such a magnificent hall，that she can’t help dancing.The Captain appears.)Captain (Short for C)：Why do you stare at me that way?M：Well，you don’t look at all like a sea captain，sir.C：I’m afraid you don’t look much like a governess.Turn around，please.M：What?C：Turn.Hat off.It’s the dress.You have to put on another one before you meet the children.M：But I don’t have another one.When we enter the abbey，our worldly clothes are given to the poor.C：What about this one?M：The poor didn’t want this one.C：Hmm.M：I would have made myself a new dress but there wasn’t time.I can make my own clothes. C：Well，I’ll see that you get some material.Today，if possible.Now，Fraulein...er...

Don’t you think it’s ugly?Kurt：Of course，but Fraulein Helder’s was ugliest.I’m Kurt.I’m eleven.I’m incorrigible.M：Congratulations!Kurt：What’s incorrigible?M：I think it means you won’t be treated like a boy.Marta：I’m Marta and I’m going to be seven on Tuesday.And I’d like a pink parasol.M：Well，pink is my favorite color，too.Yes，you’re Gretl，and you’re five years old?

It still remains a mystery how one of his discoveries led to illness and death for many of his team members.ProceduresStep 1: Leading-in1) Do you still remember something from our discussion on Egypt in Unit 1 and Unit 2?We talked about Toby traveling in Egypt and people’s curiosity about how the pyramids were built. Though we don’t know exactly how people at that time built them, we are quite sure of one thing, that is, all the pyramids were built for kings and queens. They expected to be buried there after their death. In spite of the harsh conditions, the Egyptians created this wonder of the world with their hands. It’s said the pyramids are as magnificent as a palace inside.2) Have you ever read or thought about what is inside the pyramids?3) Are there any people buried in them?4) What do people nowadays call those buried in tombs?5) What are mummies and how are theymade?6) Apart from mummies, are there any treasures inside the tombs of the pyramids?7) Have the tombs ever been robbed of treasures by people?8) What happened to these people after they entered the tombs?9) Were they rich overnight?10)What may explain the disasters that happened to those people?Step 2: Fast reading for general ideas1.

Can something like the explorer’s hobbies, his experiences of adventures, his achievements be covered in the article?2) You’ve done a good job, expressing your opinions about the relationship between the title and the explorer and predicting the main contents of the article. That’s great. But to be more specific, can you anticipate what might be covered in the first paragraph of the article?3)Please read the first paragraph and discuss how the first paragraph agrees or disagrees with your predictions.What’s the first paragraph about? Is it the beginning of a story?What does the writer tell us about the explorer in the first paragraph?What words do you think are useful for you to predict the ideas included in the passage?Now you may find the first paragraph serves as a general introduction of HowardWhat are the following paragraphs likely to do?Will they give specific examples to support thegeneral description of Howard Carter?Exchange your ideas with your partners and then check your prediction by reading the following paragraph.5) Now let’s focus on Reading strategy to review the skills of how to predict information in an article.2.
