新人教版必修四-------Unit 3 A taste of English humourI．教学内容分析幽默能给人们带来乐趣，幽默能给人们带来享受，幽默还能带给人们深思——幽默是生活中的有益要素。
本单元就以“品尝英语幽默”为主题，让人领略到不同的文化背景下的英语幽默，同时，也让人认识到因为文化的差异，人们对同一个幽默的理解也会有所不同。
通过本单元的学习，不单单是在语言知识上有所收益，还鼓励了学生发掘，感受生活中的幽默，保持一种活泼乐观的生活态度，让生活更轻松、更美好。
因为这个单元，是把多个幽默贯穿起来了，所以学生都能在一种轻松的氛围下学英语。

练习1是让学生体会两侧笑话里的点睛之笔，引起学生对本单元话题的兴趣。

虽然他的电影多是无声电影，但是通过他夸张的手法、精湛的演技，给人们带来的是幽默、是滑稽、是享受。
课文中给出两个特写，一是“小流浪汉的形象”，另一个《淘金记》中“吃皮鞋的过程”，使学生体会到在一些小的幽默背后，也隐含着一定的道理。

When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedback”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see.
