that we learned in the previous lessons?S1：It is a love story between Claire and Tony，a robot.It seems that the robot has emotions and affections，which makes Claire fall in love with it.In this sense，there is a long way to go to improve the robot.T：Well done！Then do you know who the writer is?S2：Isaac Asimov.T：Thank you.Do you know anything about him?Students' answers may vary.Step 2First readingT：Now let's read Asimov's biography and learn more about him.Ask the students to glance through the text and find the answers to such questions as：1．Which paragraph tells you when and where Asimov was born and died?2．Which paragraph tells you about his education?3．Which paragraph tells you about the awards he received?Then get them to scan the text for specific information by asking the following questions：1．What subject did Asimov teach?2．When did he start having stories published?3．How many children did he have?Step 3Second readingT：Now，please read the text in pairs，helping each other with anything that you don't understand.Then try to complete the following timeline：Read about Isaac Asimov and complete the timeline of the events in his life.Date Event1920 Born in Russia.1922 ________________.1923 ________________.Parents bought a candy store.1929 ________________.Mother had her third child.______ Started to take himself seriously as a writer.1939

award for it.______ Published his first science book______ Became a full－time writer.1973 Divorced his first wife.________________.______ Had a blood transfusion.Became infected with HIV.1992 ________________.Suggested answers：Step 4Group discussionT：By now I'm sure you have a better understanding about Isaac Asimov.In one of his short stories，I，Robot，he developed three laws for robots.The first law was：“A robot must not injure human beings or allow them to be injured.”In groups of four，discuss what the other two laws might be.Write them down on a piece of paper.Then exchange your opinions with other groups.Suggested answers：1．A robot must help human beings do what they wish to do.2．A robot must protect its owner but cannot have him/her fall in love with it.After that，get the students to refer to Asimov's laws for robots on Page 18.Step 5ListeningT：OK，so much for Isaac's biography and his three laws for robots.Let's come back to his short story Satisfaction Guaranteed.How do you like this story?S1：I like the story very much.I wish to have a robot like Tony at my house.T：You are not alone.Someone else wants to have such a Tony too.Now please listen to the tape carefully.Ask students to look through the questions in Exercise 1 before playing the tape.Play the tape again when necessary and then tick the correct boxes.Step 6WritingT：So it seems that Molly likes the idea of a handsome robot such as Tony to stay at her house and make her happy all the time.And we have every reason to believe that in the future，household robots will be more and more popular.They can help us with our housework or homework，and they can even play with us.Suppose you are an engineer in a company that makes household robots and you have been asked to design a new type of robot.Describe it in a short passage and draw a picture of it if necessary.The following tips may help you：◆Your robot should follow Asimov's three laws.◆You should state the purpose of your robot and the abilities you want your robot to have.◆You'd better make a list of the kinds of body part your robot would need to carry out your instructions.◆Name the different parts if necessary and explain what eachpart does.While the students are preparing their assignment，encourage them to make full use of their imagination.Step 7Report/PresentationAfter the students have finished their work，ask three or four of them to report or present their short passages or pictures.Sample writing：The rubbish collectorThe rubbish collector is a robot about half the size of a small car.Its body is square and contains a large rubbish bin inside it.It has a camera attached to the top front of its body.Also at the front is a pair of arms.Underneath it has four wheels and six legs.With the camera it can “see” rubbish such as paper，glass，and plastic.If the surface of the ground is smooth，it runs on its wheels，and if the ground is rough，it unfolds its legs and walks.When it sees a piece of rubbish，it stops and uses its arms to pick it up and put it in its rubbish bin.However，when it sees a person，an animal or a plant，it goes around it as it is able to recognize when something is not a piece of rubbish.The company should make this robot as it would be very popular with schools.It would clean the outside ground of the school and so give the students more time to spend on their studies.It would also be a great advantage to have at sports grounds or any otherarea where rubbish is dropped by the public.Step 8Homework1．Try to improve the short passage after class.2．Go over the text，and learn all the new words and expressions in the reading passage。

Opinions are divided on the question.Most of us are for the idea that there will be many positive effects of having household robots. People will be relieved from doing household cleaning, cooking and so on. People will be free to work or enjoy their leisure time. Life will become an endless paradise.On the other hand, some are against the idea. They believe household robots will negative effects on their life. People will be fat and lazy and people will no longer have the useful skills of life if they no longer do housework. What’s worse, if a robot breaks down, they will find it very difficult to manage their life. Life will become a nightmare without robots.In my opinion, we make it necessary to use household robots in the future but we should use them reasonably.。

Period 4 Using Language：Listening，Speaking andWritingTeaching aims1．Enable students to express supposition and belief.2．Learn to write a passage describing a new type of robot.Teaching proceduresStep 1Lead－in1．First，ask students to look at the words below.Many of them are used to describe Claire's feelings in the story.Carry out the following tasks in pairs.alarmed embarrassed amazed awful amused surprised attracted disturbed envied impressed satisfied hurt frightened upset(1)Find as many of these words in the text as possible and underline the sentences.(2)Write a short paragraph to describe Claire using some of these words.(3)Tell a story using at least five of these words.]Sample writing：Claire is a very emotional woman who needs a good friend.She finds this friend in a robot called Tony，who comes to help her in her home.She is attracted to him because he is so handsome and sympathetic.He becomes her best friend.She is impressed by his abilities but embarrassed by her feelings for him.She is disturbed because she thinks of him as a man even though he is not but is amused that other women envy her and think they are having an affair.Claire succeeds in overcoming her sense of failure，but in doing so falls in love with Tony.His visit leaves her upset，frightened and hurt，which has replaced hersense of failure.She has been hurt by Tony because he is too nice rather than because he is not nice enough.2．Next，have a small talk about the story.(1)Why did Tony have to be rebuilt?(2)How would you feel if you had a robot like Tony in your house?Suggested answers：(1)Because you can't have women falling in love with machines.(2)Various answers are possible.Students are encouraged to speak out their feelings freely.Step 2Listening1．Molly and Kate are discussing the story “Satisfaction Guaranteed”．Read the questions and then listen to their conversation.Tick the correct boxes.Keys：2.Next，listen again and find answers to the following questions.(1)What does Kate think the difference between robots and human is?(2)How does Kate think Claire was hurting herself?(3)Why would one of the girls like a robot such as Tony living at her house?(4)What does Kate think the company's biggest mistake was?Suggested answers：(1)Robots can't feel emotion of any kind.(2)By seeing herself in a negative way.(3)She likes the idea of a handsome man whose only purpose was to please her.(4)Making the robot look so much like a real man.3．Listen to the tape again and write down the expressions of supposition and belief.Keys：错误!Step 3DiscussionStudents are asked to work in groups and imagine having a robot in their houses to do the housework. Discuss what the positive or negative effects of the situation would be.(Don't forget to use expressions of supposition and belief. Students are given five minutes. Five minutes later，ask some students to present their ideas to the whole class. Encourage every student to use his imagination，because there're no right or wrong answers，only different opinions. After students present their opinions，the teacher speaks out his or her opinion.)A samplePositive_effectsI think it is wonderful for people to have robots in their houses to do the housework. After a day's work，when people get home，they can be really relaxed with everything prepared by their robots. A robot never gets tired. Nor does it complain. Life will be very easy and comfortable.Negative_effectsMaybe people can enjoy a very comfortable life with the help of their robots.But at the same time I believe people will lose the ability to do housework. As time goes by，people cannot live well without a robot's help.I think that kind of life would be terrible.Step 4WritingStudents are asked to work in groups. First decide the purpose of the robot，then make a list of the abilities the robot has. Next draw a picture on a piece of paper and name its parts and explain what each part does. Finally write a passage describing the robot and what it can do. Show the following to help students to design their robots.Note：Not all robots have to have all six characteristics. For example，some robots don't need to manipulate things，so they have no manipulating characteristics. Some robots have more than one manifestation of a characteristic. For example，a robot may be able to sense its environment using both a vision system and sonar.Students are asked to discuss first. If there is not enough time，they should finfish it after class.Step 5HomeworkWrite a passage describing a new type of robot.Sample writing：Remote Presence RobotsRemote Presence Robots allow a medical expert to visually examine and communicate with a patient from anywhere in the world，via the machine，using wireless technology. The robot runs on a wireless system with the doctor at another location. It is controlled via a secure broadband Internet connection. The doctor (controller) and patient are able to have a real－time two－way audiovisual interaction，with the controller in full command of the robots movements，head monitor and camera. The doctor “driving” the robot can view the patient，ask questions and read patient records，view X－rays and test results from the console. The patient sees the doctor's image on the robots “face”．Although the robot does not physically examine the patient，it allows face －to－face contact between the doctor and patient，providing immediate access to specialists.Our robots certainly would never replace all doctors on ward rounds，but they are a communication tool which allows doctors to have direct contact with their patients if they are unable to get to them. And this may be a significant step for patient care.The rubbish collector robotThe rubbish collector is a robot about half the size of a small car. Its body is square and contains a large rubbish bin inside it. It has a camera attached to the top front of its body. Also at the front is a pair of arms. Underneath it has four wheels and six legs. With the camera it can “see” rubbish such as paper，glass，and plastic. If the surface of the ground is smooth，it runs on its wheels，and if the ground is rough，it unfolds its legs and walks.When it sees a piece of rubbish，it stops and uses its arms to pick it up and put it in its rubbish bin. However，when it sees a person，an animal or a plant，it goes around it as it is able to recognize when something is not a piece of rubbish.The company should make this robot as it would be very popular with schools. It would clean the outside grounds of the school and so give the students more time to spend on their studies. It would also be a great advantage to have at sports grounds or any other area where rubbish is dropped by the public.。
