Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained Reading boy missing ,policepuzzledResources1. Newspaper articles are often seen as a shortened form of a news report that gives fuller information. The lead, the first paragraph of a news story, plays the most important part in the understanding of the whole story. It is usually a one or two sentence summary of the particular event being reported. The headline and the first paragraph effectively summarize the story's content.There are several advantages in using a newspaper to improve English skills. A newspaper is inexpensive, easily obtained and the materials are authentic. Besides, understanding the news stories relies heavily on the students' knowledge of social and cultural experiences. Newspapers mirror our national values, habits and preferences. Newspaper reading improves the students' overall abilities rather than simply informing them of new information. Students will find time and effort devoted to understanding social and cultural materials rewarding.2. Some newspaper activities that can be used in the classroom.* Encourage students to read the newspaper daily. Ask them what articles they find interesting, and read and discuss those articles with them.*Read the newspaper coverage of a major news story and watch the same story presented on television. Talk about the differences between reading newspapers and watching television news.*Read the newspaper for issues that have some direct effects on students' lives. Locate news stories and opinions in editorials, letters to the editor and editorial columns. Ask students which facts are most important and which opinions are closest to theirs.*Review TV and movie schedules, discussing which shows and movies are appealing and why. Compare reviews with those written by media critics.*Try to find persuasive letters to the editor. Identify and discuss the author's style and tone. Encourage students to respond with their own letters to the editor when they encounter ideas with which they disagree.Step 1: Lead-in1. Some questions about UFODo you know what the three letters UFO stand for?Have you ever heard of the UFOs?Have you ever had the chance to see one?Do you believe the usual sayings about the UFOs?What do you think a UFO is?Do you think there are any creatures on it?Where do you think the creatures come from?Will they become our friends or enemies?2. Today, we’ll come to Reading part. Now I’d like you to look at the pictures on pages 2 and 3 and the title, Boy missing, police puzzled. Can you connect them with each other?Picture 1:Is the first picture a UFO?Are there really UFOs from the outer space?Picture 2:Who was the missing boy?Does he like playing football or baseball?Picture 3:What’s the picture about?Does the bright light outside the window come from a UFO?Does the bright light have something to do with Justin’s missing?(If possible, the teacher may use the projector or macromedia to show the situations in the three pictures and ask the students the same questions as given above. Check answers in pairs. Check the answers with the whole class if you wish.)3. Answer the following questions, focusing on the title of the article, Boy missing, police puzzled.Does the title arouse your interest when you read it?Can you complete the title?What information can you get from the title?What else do you want to know? For example, 'boy missing' (How/When/Where was the boy missing?) 'police puzzled' (Why are they puzzled?/What are the police going to do about the boy's disappearance and how?)Are you curious about why the writer uses an incomplete sentence as the title?Did you know that it is a feature of a news title?What are some other features of a news title?Can you guess what details may be covered in the following news story?Step 2:Fast reading for general ideas1. Before skimming the passage, please look at the news photographs first and describe what is happening in them.

(Justin Foster is missing.)3) Do the police know what happened to Justin? (No.)2. Read the first paragraph carefully to get the main idea and the important facts such as: When and where was the boy missing? What caused the boy's sudden disappearance? How old was the boy? Why did people show interest in his disappearance?3. Now scan the article again and locate specific information according to Parts C1 and C2. Questions 1, 2, 3 and 5 in Part C1 check background information about Justin while Questions 4, 6, 7 and 8 check your comprehension about witnesses, aliensand the case.

Having read the text, please pay attention to the different features of each paragraph.1) First let’s have a d iscussion about how we usually decide whether a news article is worth reading or not and what methods we use in our reading.As we all know, newspapers play an important part in our daily life.

Suppose you are a writer. Please give an ending to the story. Though the police have made efforts to investigate the case. Justin's disappearance remains a mystery.Was he really seized by aliens or were there other reasons? All the people are concerned about Justin's disappearance.

An alien was walking down the stairs of the UFO. He walked up to me and said, ‘Now, I’m taking you to a new place.’With that, he led me into the UFO and we flew to the Moon and then to Mars. Justas I began to enjoy the ride, the alien brought out a torch. All of a sudden, a strong beam shone in my eyes. I had to keep my eyes shut to avoid the light. Guess what?It was sunlight shining on my bed. What a dream!Yours truly,Robert。

Boys and girls, have you ever heard something not only interesting andattractive but also unexplained at all even with the help of modern science and technology in the world? Here are some pictures on the screen. Can you tell me what they are?The chances for seeing a UFO are greater for those people who live in small towns or in the country and are outside late at night.UFOs. Yes, they are called UFOs, meaning unidentified flying objects.UFOs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are only small spots of light that move in strange patterns across the night sky.Some can be seen in the daytime are often disk- or saucer-shaped.UFOs were once seen in different parts of China. Look at some pictures on the screen, please.Do you think such kind of things mysterious ? Are you curious about them?Besides UFOs, can you list anything more unexplained you’ve ever heard or seen in your daily life?They are Yetis, the Loch Ness Monster, Stonehenge and the Pyramids in Egypt.2. Open your books and let’s look at page one. Please read the instruction and focuson the five pictures and illustrations first. Then answer the following questions: Do the five pictures have something in common?If so, what is it? (unexplained; no satisfactory answers; mysterious; no evidence...)Can scientists explain these phenomena?How do you feel about them?Are you a bit curious?3. Think of as many expressions as possible to answer the questions above. Try to make up some sentences and read them to the class. I will also offer you some examples. They are mysterious because no satisfactory answers have been offered to explain them. Though these mysteries have puzzled people for a long time, they still show great interest in them.People feel puzzled by the mysteries.4. Report the information you have collected to the class. Your answers are quite different. Now we will use some of your answers as a prompt for a class discussion. For example,Teacher: What information have you got about UFOs?Student A:...Teacher: Do you think Student A's information interesting? What about the information you've got? Is there anything different?Student B:...5. Please discuss the topics in pairs. Here are some questions.About UFOs:Have you ever read some reports about UFOs in China?Are you interested in UFOs?Are they really from another planet?What do the letters UFO stand for?Why do you think UFOs visit our planet?About Yetis:Where are the Himalayas?What's the weather like there?Why do some people make great efforts to climb them?(hobby; dream; challenge themselves; make discoveries; overcome difficulty,..)A Yeti is reported to be half-man and half-beast. Have you heard of it?Do you think some climbers' disappearances are connected with Yetis?About Stonehenge, the pyramids and the Loch Ness Monster:Stonehenge and the pyramids in Egypt, the most famous of which is the Great Pyramid, are cultural relics.Where were the pyramids built, on the east coast of the Nile or on the west coast? What are the reasons?Do you think the Great Pyramid is a wonder in human history?How was the Great Pyramid built?I haven't heard of Stonehenge or the Loch Ness Monster. They are a bit new to me. What about you?Would you be interested in discovering more about them?Step 2: Sharing information1. Let’s deal with the questions in pairs. For the first question, you may discuss it this way: Do you believe in UFOs? What might be the most acceptable explanation for UFOs? You may give different answers such as:-Aliens from space.-Military test aircraft.-Some UFOs are alien, some are test aircraft.-UFOs are evidence of human space travel.-UFOs are neither alien nor test aircraft.-UFOs don't exist.You can express your agreements and disagreements with each other.2. Summarize your answers and then report to the class.Sample answers1. I have a firm belief in UFOs. In fact, I have seen a few myself. UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, that is, an object, apparently moving in the sky, which we cannot identify. However, if you ask me whether or not I believe in spacecraft carrying visitors from outer space, I would have to say 'no'. I do not believe in them.2. The continent of Antarctica was discovered in 1818. It was once supposed to have been covered by ice for hundreds of thousands of years. However, in 1949 scientists took samples from sediment deep beneath Antarctica, which revealed that great rivers had once flowed into Antarctica until about 6,000 years ago, Many more mysteries remain to be discovered.3. I'm always interested in the stories of UFOs and aliens. And I hope I will have the chance to meet one some day. If it really happens to me, I will ask questions such as 'Who or what are you?', 'Where are you from?' and 'How long does it taketo travel from your place to our planet?'. I will try my best to communicate with them, discovering what their life is like and why they have come to the earth.。
