Unit 3 A taste of English humor

Unit 3 A taste of English humour I. 单元教学目标II. 目标语言Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组1．教材分析本单元的中心话题是“感受英语幽默”，其中涉及到了幽默的种类及其代表人物，并就中外幽默进行了粗略的比较，以此让学生感受英语幽默的内涵。

WARMING UP中提出了三个问题：How many kinds of humour do you knowDo you know these kinds of humour Do you have other kinds of humour in China 这三个问题直指本单元中心话题，为下一步的阅读理解作了准备。

PRE-READING在WARMING UP 的基础上提出了另外三个问题：What do you like to laugh at What does humour mean Is humour always kind这三个问题进一步让学生了解幽默的含义，即把缺陷与完美、荒唐与合理、愚笨与机敏等两极对立的属性不动声色地结合起来，在对立统一中见其深刻的意义。

READING以美国著名喜剧大师Charlie Chaplin的表演为例，为学生展示了幽默的内涵。

第一段以常见的踩香蕉皮滑倒为例，指出了幽默的内涵之一：“Perhaps it makes us fee l more content with our life because we feel there is someone else worse off than ourselves”.从第二段开始介绍卓别林以其独特的表现方式成为著名的幽默大师，文中列举了两部他的喜剧片，一部是The Little Trump，另一部是The Gold Rush。

前者以其穿着及行为而受到了人们的喜爱；后者通过吃皮鞋这一片段，让人领略了他的无与伦比的想象力与幽默感。

卓别林将滑稽的相貌、夸张的穿戴和离奇的想象完美地结合起来，出于现实而又超脱现实。
