Step IV Read and translate the story
Inventions are important. Some inventions have even changed people’s life. After the calculators were invented, people can work faster than using the abacus. Because of light bulbs, people can see more clearly in the dark. Thanks to microwave ovens, people can cook many kinds of delicious dishes without fire. After the binoculars were invented, people can see farther and more clearly.
Even though some inventions seem like small, they are very useful. Heated ice cream scoop is used for scooping really cold ice cream. Shoes with adjustable heels are used for changing the style of the shoes. Battery-operated slippers are used for seeing in the dark.
Some were invented by mistake. Potato chips were invented by a chef called George Crum. One day, George was in a bad mood, so he cut the potatoes very thin and cooked them for a long time until they were crispy. And he sprinkled lots of salt on them, so they were really salty, but the customers liked them very much.
Some were invented by accident. According to an ancient Chinese legend, the emperor Shen Nong discovered tea. When he was boiling drinking water, some leaves from a nearby bush fell into the water and remained there for some time, he noticed that the leaves in the water produced a pleasant smell, after he tasted the hot mixture, tea was discovered.
Some were invented for fun. The flying disk was invented by college students. They often ate at a bakery, after eating, they threw pie plates to each other, it was very funny. So, flying disk was invented.
Do you know when basketball was invented Over one century ago, a Canadian doctor named James Naismith created a game to be played on a hard wooden floor indoors. The players were divided into two teams. The aim of basketball is for players to get a ball into the “ basket”: a net hanging from a metal hoop. Players shoot from below the basket and may use the “ backboard” for guiding the ball into the basket. Players move towards one end of the court while throwing the ball to each other.
The sport is enjoyed by many people, so the popularity of it has risen worldwide.

让学生自主编写故事,不仅增加了学生对单词的理解记忆,而且提高了他们语言表达能力。
不足之处:
本单元词汇较多,在一节课内,有很多用法并没有全面展示,学生只能从其表面、直观去了解。还有待在以后再进行深入的学习。

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect(影响)on the poor,but once a person has a rich life,a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything,all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, true friendship,good health and a long life. However,this is not always true.
Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are “I love you”. But can love be bought?I’m afraid not.Love means to give,not to take.To every person,health and long life are probably the most precious(宝贵的)things. Well,can health and a long life be bought with money?The answer is “No”.
Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word,Where money is worshiped(崇拜),money can cause brothers to quarrel,lovers to hate,strangers to fight and so on.No matter how much money you have,it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with,no one to cry for.
( )1.According to the passage,which of the following do you think is right?
A. Money is everything.
B. Money isn’t necessary.
C. Money is important,but not the most important.
D. With no money,with no success.
( )2. What’s the most important thing for every person according to the writer’s ideas?
A. Only money. B. Health and a long life. C. Only friendship. D. A,B and C.
( )3. Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. If you haven’t much money,you can’t get more happiness.
