We were driving back to my hometown for Spring Festival and it was a very long journey. I was nearly asleep in the back of the car when my father shouted that the road was becoming quite slippery with snow. Suddenly we slid across the road and stopped. At first I only felt a little nervous. After all, the car was warm and my parents were there but there was a long line of cars ahead of us and none of them were moving. Then I did begin to feel bothered and concerned. My father got out and went to investigate. He returned to say that we would not be able to continue our journey until the road was cleared. Soon we were told that the army was bringing salt and sand to make the road safe again. We waited in the car. It got colder and colder. I began to tremble even though I had a blanket round me. What if the army could not clear the road! I began to panic. Just when I felt that I could not stand the situation any more, I heard a shout. The army had arrived, the road was being cleared and we were saved. I felt so relieved and happy that my family’s suffering was over!SPEAKING TASK ON PAGE 73课件72张PPT。人教课标

because I would have to live in other
countries and also I don’t like being in
dangerous situations. Also, I’m not very
good at science.Suggested answers: Yes, I’d love to do a job like this because
I would enjoy working outside and I think
I would enjoy the adventure. It would be
exciting to meet people from different
countries and I would feel good about
helping people avoid danger.or 3. Look at these three people who would like to study volcanoes. Which one would you choose to become a volcanologist? Give your reasons.Fred Spears:He has the interest but not the qualifications.
So he is not a good choice to become a
volcanologist.Susan Kelp:She has studied geology and has an interest in
volcanoes. She has all the necessary
qualifications but she does not have practical
experience devising experiments and
analyzing data.Charles:He is a medical doctor with an interest in
volcanoes. He has experience of conducting
experiments but does not have the specific
qualifications needed to become a
volcanologist.I would choose Susan Kelp because she has
the necessary qualifications and the interest.
Although she has not yet conducted
experiments she will either have learned the
techniques during university course or be able
to learn them on-the-job. She seems to be the
most suitable candidate.So Spend some time researching the Ya’an earthquake in Sichuan. You can use books, magazines, newspapers or the Internet. Collect pictures or diagrams and look for information about: what causes this earthquake
earthquakes that happened in the
past in China and/or the rest of the
world

Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组
教材分析
本单元以The power of nature 为话题，旨在通过单元教学使学生了解火山爆发、地震、台风、洪水等自然现象，认识到自然的伟大力量，并会用所学词汇描述在经历自然灾害时的感受，思考人类应对自然灾害的态度和方法，提高自我保护意识。
1.1 Warming Up通过对火山爆发示意图的讨论激活学生了解与本单元话题相关的背景知识，而后通过讨论人类应对自然灾害的措施引发学生对本单元话题的思考，激发学生的求知欲，为随后进行的听、说、读、写打下基础。
1.2 Pre-reading通过回答问题测试自己是否适合作火山学家，让学生了解这一陌生职业，为阅读做好准备。
1.3 Reading部分一位火山学家以第一人称的形式讲述了自己的工作及第一次目睹火山爆发时的情景和心情，描写了人与自然的斗争与和谐相处的乐趣，使学生认识到火山是美丽的，但同时极具破坏力，而火山学家的工作可以减少由火山引发的损失。
1.4 Comprehending设计了两种题型：第一题要求学生在阅读后回答相关问题；第二题检测学生对文章细节的理解。
1.5 Learning about Language 分为词汇和语法两部分。词汇部分着重从词的意义用法和表达方面对学生学习词汇给予指导；语法部分学习ing 形式在句子中作状语表示时间、原因及结果。
1.6 Using Language以语言实践为目的，包括四个部分的内容。Listening and speaking 三位火山学家讲述了他们各自最惊险的一次经历。学生在练习听力的同时学会描述害怕和紧张的词汇。Speaking 是Listening的延续。要求学生讲述自己类似的经历，同时在运用中巩固单词。Reading 介绍了旅游胜地 The Lake of Heaven, 培养学生快速获取信息的能力。Writing 与Reading 属于同一话题，要求根据所给信息写一篇介绍Hot springs的作文。
1.7 SUMMING UP与LEARNING TIP有助于学生自我检测，便于及时复习。通过学习同根词、同类词，告诉学生在学习中要勤于总结。
1.8 Workbook 围绕中心内容从听、说、读、写四个方面对其做进一步的补充和深化。
2. 教材重组
2.1将Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading 及Comprehending 组合在一起，上一节阅读课。

Step ⅠWarming Up
Lead the students to the topic by telling them a story. Then get the students to describe a volcano eruption according to the diagram. After they are familiar with the topic, let them list some other powerful natural forces and discuss the ways human beings protect themselves from the natural forces.
T: Listen to me carefully. I will tell you a story about a strange city. The strange city named Pompeii is a dead city. No one has lived there for nearly two thousand years, yet every year thousands of people travel from distant countries to visit it. It died suddenly in a terrible rain of fire and ash. Tons of hot ash fell on Pompeii, hiding it from sight. For three days the sun didn’t break through the clouds of ash in the sky. Then the whole city shook and buildings fell down. When everything was calm, Pompeii was buried deep. A city disappeared and people there lost their lives too. Can you guess what had happened to the city?
S1: There must have been a terrible earthquake. After the terrible quake, everything was destroyed.
T: Yes. It’s one kind of the causes. Any different ideas?
S2: Maybe a volcano erupted and a terrible rain of fire and ash fell on the city.
T: You got it! Mount Vesuvius, which had slept quietly for centuries, erupted suddenly. It destroyed the city Pompeii. How terrible! Have you ever seen a volcano erupting? Please turn to page 33. Look at the diagram. Describe a volcano erupting using the diagram and the given words.
S3: When boiling rock erupts from the volcano, the red hot lava rushes hundreds of metres into the air and a cloud of ash goes straight up into the air. Ash cloud forms. Rocks, fire, ash fall onto the ground. The lava flows slowly down the mountain. It buries everything in its path under the molten rock.
S4: Sometimes, volcano erupting can cause some other disasters like earthquakes, fire and ground sea.
T: How powerful the nature is! The lava can buries everything in its path. A volcano erupting can damage a city. A flood can carry everything in its path, while a fire will damage everything it meets. It seems that we human beings are powerless in front of these natural forces. What can we do to protect ourselves from powerful natural forces? Please work in groups of four to list some other natural forces and discuss the ways that human beings protect ourselves.
A few minutes later.
T: Who would like to share your opinion with the class?
S5: I’d like to talk about volcano. Sometimes, the volcano gives warnings in the form of many small earthquakes. And scientists can provide warnings of possible volcano explosions with the help of equipment. So the government can help people who live near the volcano leave their homes before erupting.
S6: We are more familiar with fire. In fact, it can be avoided most of the time, if we are careful in our daily life. I know a way of controlling the fire. Firefighters burn the trees which are in the path of the fire, so there is nothing to burn when the fire arrives.
S7: Flood always happens in the south of our country. Predication is very important. Scientist keep observing the level of the water during the summer. People strengthen the bank and move to higher land.
S8: We have learned more about earthquakes. People have learned many ways to protect themselves. For example, earthquake happens, if you are in bed, stay where you are and protect your head with a pillow. If you are outdoors, find a clear spot away from buildings, trees and streetlights.
S9: I think the best way is to move to a safer place where fire, earthquake, flood and hurricane will never happen.
Step Ⅱ Pre-reading
Get the students to answer the six questions on page 33 to find out whether they will enjoy working as a volcanologist. And then get them to talk about the occupation according to the questions.
T: I see. Prediction is very important. We can say scientists play an important part in protecting people from natural forces. Would you like to study volcanoes? And do you want to be a volcanologist?
Ss: Yes.
T: Let’s test whether you are suitable for this job or not. Answer “yes” or “no” to these questions on page 33.
The students answer the questions to see if they are suitable to be a volcanologist.
T: Are you suitable for the job? Who can tell us what kind of person can be a volcanologist?
S1: First he must be brave enough because he must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.
S2: I think interest is the most important. He should show great interest in studying rocks and volcanoes.
S3: He should be interested in travelling to unusual places and like adventure in his life.
S4: If you want to be a volcanologist, you should enjoy working outside because a lot of work need to be done outdoors.
Step Ⅲ While-reading
Scanning
Get the students to read the passage quickly and accurately. Give them a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell them to read the text silently and then ask them some detailed questions about the text.
T: What does a volcanologist do? Is the work interesting? Let’s read a passage written by a volcanologist. The volcanologist enjoys his job very much. He described his exciting job. And he wrote down his first sight of an eruption. Now let’s read the text quickly and find out the answers to these questions Comprehending Exercise 1 on page 35.
Several minutes later.
Check the answer..
Skimming
In this part, the students will read the text quickly to get the general idea of the passage. Check the answers with the whole class, then explain some sentences or words that the students may find hard to understand.
T: Now please read the text again and try to get the main idea of the passage in groups of four.
Three or four minutes later.
T: Have you got the general idea of the text?
It wasn’t very easy to walk in these clothes, and we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling center. Though I was a little afraid, I wanted to climb down into the crater to collect some lava. But this being my first experience, I could only stay at the top and watched the two scientists. At that time I determined to be a volcanologist forever.
Discussion
T: In the writer’s opinion, his job is the greatest one. Do you like this occupation? Why or why not? Discuss in groups of four.
S2: I would not like to be a volcanologist. I prefer to work in an office to do some research work. It’s a waste of time and energy to spend so much time traveling.
S3: I hope to be a vocanologist. You’ll be proud of yourself when people escape before volcano erupting because of your work. Also, I am interested in the rocks and other things that make up the surface of the earth. I want to know the secret of the earth.
S4: It is not my ideal occupation. I like traveling to unusual places, studying different cultures, talking with interesting people and collecting interesting things. But I’m not brave enough to climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.
S5: I don’t like this job. It’s too dangerous. If the volcano erupts suddenly when you are collecting the lava, maybe you will lose your life.
T: Well, if you meet the writer, what kind of questions would you ask him?
S6: Aren’t you afraid when you walk towards the volcano? It’s so hot and the volcano may erupt again.
S7: What should you do if you get lost on your way to the volcano?
S8: When did you begin to be interested in volcanoes?
S9: How will you escape if the volcano erupts suddenly?
S10: Are there any living things in volcanoes?
S11: Why do people live near the volcanoes since they may lose their homes or even lives?
Writing characteristics
T: Good! If you are interested in this occupation, you can get more information on the Internet. Now who can summarize the writing style and techniques of this text?
The teacher can ask the students to have a discussion in pairs or groups, and then ask some of them to show their ideas.
Sample answers:
This passage was written by a volcanologist. He uses the first person to describe his exciting job and his experience and express his true love for his job. The words are vivid and the description is natural, which makes the readers feel as if they were watching the volcano eruption and begin to like the occupation. For example, he uses “like a railway train passing outside my window”, “suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day” and “red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the sky” to describe the big noise and fantastic sight of volcano eruption. To tell readers that his job is interesting, the writer uses several “sometimes”, which makes the readers feel the job is extremely interesting and want to be a vocanologist. The writer talks about the volcano objectively. He points out the damages of volcano but he praises its fantastic sight at the same time.
T: What can we learn from the text?
S: The key word of the text is “exciting”, which is the focus of the passage. By telling the readers his everyday work, the importance of his job, his first sight of volcano eruption and his sincere love for his job, the author proves it’s his chief enjoyment to be a volcanologist. And I appreciate the writer’s attitude towards nature. We should love nature and we can do something to minimize the damage caused by natural forces.
Step Ⅴ Homework
T: Now it’s time for homework. Today you have two tasks to finish after class. The first task is to finish exercises in Discovering useful words and expressions on page 35. These exercises will help you practice the words and expressions we’ve just learned. The second one is to retell the text. That’s all for today. See you tomorrow.

Step Ⅰ Revision
T: Good morning, boys and girls! Who would like to retell the text?
A sample retelling:
I have the greatest job in the world. I work inside as well as outside. What’s more, I can meet different interesting people and travel to unusual places. Though it’s dangerous I still enjoy it. My main job is to collect information about Mount Kilauea, which helps scientists predict where lava from the volcano will flow and how fast it will flow. By doing this, we can save many lives. I still remember my first sight of an eruption. I heard a strange noise and my bed was shaking, like a railway train passing outside my window. My bedroom became as bright as day. I rushed into the back garden, and saw red hot lava fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. The next day I was lucky enough to have a closer look at it. Two scientists and I were sent to collect some lava for later study. We were dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption. To protect ourselves, we all had special clothes, which made us look like spacemen. It wasn’t very easy to walk in these clothes, and we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling center. Though I was a little afraid, I wanted to climb down into the crater to collect some lava. But this being my first experience, I could only stayed at the top and watched the two scientists. It has been more than twenty years since I began to study volcanoes. I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started it.
T: Well done! Have you finished the exercises in Discovering useful words and expressions?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK. I’ll ask some of you to give your answers.
Check the answers with the class.
Step Ⅱ Words and Expressions
T: Please read the sentences on the screen. And pay attention to the words in bold. Is it a verb, a noun or an adjective? You can get the answer by reading these sentences. Or you can turn to your dictionaries.
1. The long novels bore me.
2. I am bored to death.
3. The long novels are boring.
4. The girl impressed her friends with her sense of humour.
5. His collection of painting is impressive.
6. The invention excites the doctors.
7. It’s an exciting discovery.
8. The excited children forgot to take the presents to the party.
9. The news caused great excitement.
T: Any questions?
S1: I can’t tell “exciting” from “excited”.
T: “Exciting” means causing great interest and enthusiasm. “Excited” means feeling or showing excitement. For example, “an excited girl” means the girl is very happy, while “an exciting story” means the story is very interesting or the story makes someone happy.
T: Any other question? OK. Please turn to page 71, Exercise 1.
After a moment, ask some students to give their answers.
Please turn to page 40 and read the LEARNING TIP to learn two ways of remembering new vocabulary.
Step Ⅲ Useful Structures
In this part the students will learn the -ing form used as adverbial in a sentence to give information about time, reason and result. Then they will learn how to combine pairs of sentences using the present or the perfect -ing form. Finally, get them to make a dialogue by using the -ing form.
T: Look at the two sentences on the screen. Can you see in what way they are similar and in what way they are different?
Show the two examples on the screen.
Looking carefully at the ground, I made my way to the edge of the crater.
Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much notice.
T: In what way are they similar to each other?
S1: “Looking carefully at the ground” and “Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already” are both used as adverbial to give information about time or reason. Their subjects are “I” which is also the subject of the main clause.
T: What’s the difference?
S2: In the second sentence, the action “experience quite a few earthquakes” took place before the action “take much notice”. While in the first sentence, the two actions take place at the same time.
T: Do you know what can also be used as adverbial to give information about time, reason and result?
S3: Adverbial clauses introduced by when, after, as, because and so on.
T: Quite right! Since they can play the same role, they can usually take the place of each other. Look at the sentences on the screen. Rewrite the sentences using the present or the perfect -ing form. The first one has been done for you.
Show the following sentences on the screen.
1. When they heard about the volcano, they ran down the village.
2. As I was excited, I couldn’t go to sleep.
3. The sun shines brightly in the sky and gives us light and heat.
4. If you lose your heart, you won’t find a way to overcome the difficulty.
5. She finished her studies. Then she was anxious to find a job.
Sample answers:
1. Hearing about the volcano, they ran down the village.
2. Being excited, I couldn’t go to sleep.
3. The sun shines brightly in the sky, giving us light and heat.
4. Losing your heart, you won’t find a way to overcome the difficulty.
5. Having finished her studies, she was anxious to find a job.
Step Ⅳ Homework

Step I Listening
The students will listen to the volcanologists talk about their most frightening experience. First get the students to describe the three pictures to help them recall the words or expressions they’ve learned about the occupation — volcanologist. Then listen and write their names under the pictures.
T: Do you still remember the work of a volcanologist?
Ss: Yes. He collects information about a volcano to help predict volcano’s eruption.
T: How can they get the information?
S1: They must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside and collect some lava for later study.
T: Excellent! Please turn to page 38. Describe the three pictures with your partners. We’ll ask some of you to describe the pictures in class.
The students work in pairs to describe the pictures. They can turn to the text if they have some difficulty.
T: Who will describe Picture 1?
S2: A helicopter is flying to the volcano, when suddenly the volcano erupts. The ash and boiling rocks rush into the air hundreds of metres high. Luckily, the helicopter is not near the volcano, or it will be melt.
T: Picture 2?
S3: The volcano is erupting. The lava is flowing slowly down the mountain. A volcanologist is collecting lava with a special tool. He wears special clothes. It seems very dangerous to work there.
T: How about Picture 3?
S4: After an eruption, a crater formed. A woman volcanologist is making records and collecting information. She also wears special clothes to protect herself.
T: These pictures are about the most frightening experience of three vocanologists. They tell us their stories. Please listen and write their names under the pictures.
Get the students to listen to the tape for the first time and finish Exercise 1. Then check the answers with he whole class.
Ask the students to read the questions in Exercise 2 before listening. Then play the tape, stop the tape after each person has spoken. Listen to the tape again if the students cannot write down the answers.
T: The volcanologist sound very young. How long has he / she been a volcanologist? Let’s listen to the tape again. Read the questions first and then listen and write down your answers. I’ll stop the tape after each person has spoken. If you have any question, hands up!
Play the tape for the third time. Make sure the students understand the sentences in Exercise 3 and know what they are asked to do.
T: The three vocanologists describe their experiences. Please read the following sentences first. Can you understand all of them?
S5: Can you explain this sentence “I was trembling almost as much as the ground under my feet”?
T: It means “The ground is shaking. I am very nervous so I am shaking, too.” Any other question? Write the name of the person beside the things they said.
The students listen and write down their answers.
Step Ⅲ Speaking
First, get the students to think of ways to express fear and anxiety.
Second, ask the students to think of powerful natural forces that they have experienced. If they didn’t experience any such things, they can imagine according to the text and what they heard just now. Then they are required to tell their similar experience and how they felt using expressions from Exercise 5 in Listening.
T: The speakers describe their fear or anxiety. We can find these sentences in Exercise 3. How do you express fear or anxiety? Read these sentences aloud and then think of other ways.
T: Who’d like to answer this question?
S1: There are many ways to show fear. For example, I was so terrified that I ran as fast as possible till I found I was in my office.
S2: Knowing I was admitted to the university, I was so excited that I cried loudly.
S3: I was in a panic so I checked all the windows and the door several times to make sure they were all locked.
S4: I was relieved when all the people were removed to a safer place.
S5: I was trembling and couldn’t write a word.
S6: I was so nervous that I couldn’t read the text fluently.
S7: I was so anxious that I couldn’t sit but walk back and forth in the playground.
S8: I got up the courage to knock the door.
T: Wonderful! I believe you have more ways to express fear or anxiety, but there isn’t enough time. Let’s turn to another topic — a frightening experience. We have listened to the frightening experience of three volcanologists. It’s your turn to tell us your frightening experience. Think of a powerful natural force such as an earthquake, flood that you have experienced. If you didn’t experience such thing, your imagination will help you. Tell your partners your experiences and how you feel. Try to use expressions from Exercise 3.
The students talk in pairs. After a few minutes, ask some students to tell their stories in class.
T: Who will be the first to tell your story?
S1: I was twelve years old when the mud-rock flow happened in the afternoon. My father and I were in the bookstore, enjoying the music and novels. I sat by the window, reading an interesting story. Suddenly I heard a strange noise. I looked out of the window. “My God!” I shouted. “A chocolate-colored flood is rushing down the street.” All the people ran to the window and saw what was happening, “Mud-rock flow!” Everybody was frightened and tried to rush upstairs. My father made his way to me and pulled me by the arm and shouted, “To the hill.” We all kept running till we were on the top of the hill, which is just behind the bookstore. What a sad sight! Many houses slid by like toys. Beds were rolling in the flood with rocks. It lasted for twenty minutes. People ran to their homes and began to look for their family members, shouting and running.
S2: It was a beautiful Sunday morning in the small town. I was reading a book near my home. My twelve-year-old sister Lihua was playing with a basketball. As I read, I looked up and saw a huge, black cloud far away to the west. It might rain, I thought. Soon, I heard a noise what sounded like a big gun. The sound seemed to grow louder. I looked up again. This time, I saw a huge cloud moving quickly across the sky. We watched as the sky grew darker. The cloud began to block light from the sun. I again looked at my book. I noticed something unusual on the book. It looked like very fine dust. How strange, I thought. It is raining dust! My sister and I ran into the house and told my parents about what we saw. They turned on the television. We saw the report about the volcano explosion. The cloud covering the sky was ash from the volcano. The cloud had now almost covered the whole sky. In a moment, it was as black as night. A strong chemical smell was in the air. Ash fell very quickly in huge amounts. The ash now covered the ground. It was a frightening experience. We continued to watch television report. Experts said they did not know what would happen. I looked outside the house again and wondered, “Will the ash bury us?” The volcano exploded for more than eight hours. At last, everything returned calm. We can saw the sky again. I was still terrified that I couldn’t stand up to see the different world outside.
S3: I will tell you another volcano eruption. The volcano is one of the most frightening forces of nature. At that time I was a volcanologist. The volcano had been giving warnings for three months. These warnings were in the form of many small earthquakes. Several weeks earlier, government officials had declared an emergency. They barred people from entering the Mount Saint Helen’s area. A special permit was needed to travel near the mountain. Officials also forced people who lived near the mountain to leave their homes. It was the day before the explosion, we went there to watch the development and collect some information. The morning when we were having breakfast, the ground trembled. We ran out of the house. A strange smell was in the air. Fire, rock and volcanic gas flew out of the volcano with an unimaginable force. A cloud of ash went straight up more than twenty kilometers into the air in less than fifteen minutes. A very large wall of melted rock moved down the side of a mountain. It looked like a “river of fire”. Five hours later, the eruption stopped and all was peaceful.
Step Ⅳ Homework
T: Form a group with another pair and tell them about your dangerous experience.

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式
Step ⅠRevision
Get the students to describe his / her dangerous experience.
Step ⅡReading
Get the students to comprehend the passage quickly and accurately and meanwhile help the students form a good habit of reading. Give the students a couple of minutes to look through the whole passage. Tell the students to read the text silently and then ask them some detailed questions about the text. Check their answers in class, and explain some questions they ask.
T: Have you ever been to Changbaishan and visited Tianchi? I guess most of you haven’t. In this period, we will learn something about Tianchi. By the way, what English name would you give to Tianchi?
S: I will call it Lake of Heaven.
T: Great. That’s how people call it in English. Now let’s read the questions on the top of the passage. Then read the text quickly and find out the answers to the questions.
After the students read the text.
T: Now who can tell me which province Changbaishan is located in?
S1: Jilin Province, Northeast China.
T: Good!What’s a nature reserve? Why is Changbaishan a famous nature reserve?
S2: I think reserve is a place which is kept in its natural state.
S3: A nature reserve is home to a great diversity of plants and animals. There must be many rare animals and unique plants. They are protected in a nature reserve.
S4: Changbaishan is the largest nature reserve in China. Much of this beautiful, mountainous area is thick forest. The height of the land varies from 700 metres above sea level to over 2,000 metres. You will find a great diversity of plants and animals among which are cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers.
S5: If you visit Changbaishan, you can study the unique plants and animals, walk in the mountains, see the spectacular waterfalls or to bathe in the hot water pools.
S6: In my opinion, it’s a pity if you don’t visit Lake of Heaven — the most popular attraction in the reserve.
T: I agree with you. How about Question 4?
S7: I think the name of Tianchi comes from some fairy stories. Maybe people believe the lake is a gift of the heaven.
S8: Long long ago, there wasn’t a lake on the top of the mountain, but one day the volcano erupted, people were frightened and didn’t know what had happened. One day, they found a lake appeared on the top of the mountain. Where did the lake come from? People couldn’t explain it, so it was named Tianchi.
S9: I think the reason is that the lake is on the top of the mountain. It’s 2,194 metres above sea level. And the view is very beautiful, which makes you feel like in fairyland. So the lake is named Tianchi.
S9: As we all know, it’s very cold in Northeast China. Changbaishan must be covered with thick snow in winter and there are boiling rocks under the crater of a dead volcano. The snow melted and gradually a lake formed in the crater.
T: Excellent answers. You are really full of imagination. The last question. Any volunteer?
S10: It’s said that Tianchi is the birthplace of Manchu people. The father of the Manchu people, who had a great gift for language and persuasion, was the son of a girl from heaven. Three girls from heaven were bathing in Tianchi when a bird flew above them and dropped a small fruit. The youngest girl became pregnant after she ate the fruit and gave birth to a boy —the father of Manchu people.
T: All right! Read the passage again to see how the writer describes Lake of Heaven?
S11: After reading the passage we know the lake is well worth visiting. At the beginning of the passage the writer introduces Changbaishan in which Lake of Heaven lies. By describing the mountain, the writer tells readers that Lake of Heaven lies in a beautiful nature reserve, you can enjoy many beautiful places besides Lake of Heaven. Then the writer introduces Lake of Heaven. At last, to further arouse readers’interest, the writer tells a fairy story about Lake of Heaven, which makes the lake mysterious.
Step Ⅲ Writing
After reading the text, the students will learn the way of describing a place of interest. Get the students to read the notes first, and then let them discuss in which aspects they will introduce hot springs. And then let them write a paragraph about hot springs.
T: The writer tells us we can bathe in hot water pools if we visit Changbaishan, but he didn’t introduce hot springs to us. Now turn to page 40, you will find some notes about hot springs. Let’s introduce hot springs to our readers by using these notes. The title should be — Hot Springs in Changbaishan. While writing, make use of the writing techniques of the text we read just now. Before writing, discuss with your partners in which aspects you will describe hot springs.
S1: I will write a paragraph in three parts. First, I will describe Changbaishan, and then tell readers why the water is hot. In the last part, I will describe the benefits of bathing in hot springs.
A sample version:
Hot Springs in Changbaishan
Changbaishan is a famous nature reserve, most of which is covered with thick forest. It’s home to a great diversity of plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. The most popular attraction in the reserve is Tianchi where you can enjoy the sight of the crystal clear waters and the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that surround Tianchi.
When you have finished your visit to Tianchi, don’t rush away. There are plenty of other things to see and do in Changbaishan. For example, you can relax in the nearby hot springs. There are many pools heated by hot water out of the ground. What’s more, you can find water is heated by boiling rocks in the ground. If you are hungry, put an egg into the water. After a few minutes, you can have a delicious egg. There are so many hot springs, 13 pools in 1,000 square metres area, that you can choose one you like best. Some pools are very hot (over 60℃), but others are very pleasant for bathing.
Staying in the pools can not only help you refresh yourself but also be good for health. It’s a great enjoyment to bathe in hot springs and admire the beautiful scenery.

Step Ⅰ Talking (P69)
T: Look at the picture on page 69, Talking. What happened to the house? Can you guess?
S1: Maybe it was damaged in an earthquake.
S2: Maybe a fierce cyclone happened in the area.
T: You got it. The house was damaged by a cyclone. Have you experienced a cyclone before?
Ss: No.
T: How about typhoon, snowstorm or hailstorm? What are they like? You can choose one and describe it to your partners.
Sample descriptions:
Hurricane
One Friday, a hurricane struck the southeast of England. Between the midnight and 6:00 am the hurricane crossed the southeast corner of England with winds of up to 160 kph. It had been raining heavily for two days and the ground was very wet. Besides, it was autumn and the trees still had their leaves on. So the strong winds pushed over the trees easily. Fifteen million trees had been blown down by the strong wind. Power lines were brought down by fallen trees or branches. Electric and telephone services in some areas were cut down.
Snowstorm
One night there was a heavy snowstorm, and in the morning people find their gardens were covered with thick snow. It’s very difficult to walk in the street. Dustman had to clean the snow with forklift. Meanwhile, the early arrival of snow caused extensive damage to the trees. With the majority of trees yet to shed their leaves, the burden of the snow proved too heavy for many, and by Friday morning, the streets were littered with broken branches.
Hailstorm
It was rare to see such a heavy hailstorm. A heavy downpour and table tennis-ball-sized hailstones attacked our town at 7:50 pm on Wednesday. On the street some big trees fell down in the hailstorm. Mr Wang stopped his car at the roadside to take shelter from the hailstorm, but the hailstorm almost broke the windows of his car. Farmers suffered a lot. Their corns and apple trees were destroyed completely.
T: Excellent description. Look at the picture again. We know the house was destroyed by a fierce cyclone. It happened in Darwin, a city in the far north of Australia. Suppose we live in Darwin. What would you feel during the cyclone and after it was over?
S3: I would be frightened by the strong wind and the huge noise it would make. I would stay in bed still and wait for the end of it. After it was over, I would be astonished by the big damages it had caused and feel helpless. How weak humans are before the natural forces!
Step Ⅱ Listening (P69)
In this part, the students will listen to Christine talking about a cyclone she experienced. First get the students to read the seven sentences quickly and write 1-7 beside the events to show the order in which they happened. Then listen to check their answers. Listen to the tape for a second time to finish Exercise 2 on page 70.
T: Now let’s listen to Christine’s description of a cyclone and see how she felt during and after the cyclone. The events have been listed but they are disordered. Read them quickly and write 1-7 beside the events to show the order in which they happened according to your own experience. Then we will listen to the tape and check your answers. Understand?
Ss: Yes.
The students listen to check their answers. Then the teacher shows the correct answers.
T: Where were the family members during the storm? Look at the floor plan on page 70. Write the names of the family members in the correct place on the floor plan. You can use a letter to stand for a family member when listening. Then rewrite their names after listening. Let’s begin. Are you ready?
After listening, check their answers in class.
Step Ⅲ Writing (P74)
T: Turn to page 74. We are going to practice writing a diary entry. Choose one of the natural disasters on the list or any other disaster you know about. Then imagine you were caught in this terrible natural disaster but you are safe now. Write a diary entry to explain how you felt during and after the disaster. First, make a timeline to show the order in which the events happen. You can follow the example. Now please choose a disaster and make a timeline.
Ask the students to show their timelines before they write the dairy.
A sample timeline: A hurricane
4:00 pm
Left home to go for a walk in the hills
5: 00 pm
Started to go back home, found the bridge had been washed away by the floods, had to find another way back
5: 30 pm
Started to wind
6:00 pm
Completely lost, had a rest to see where we were
6:30 pm
Winds started to get strong, rained heavily
7:00pm
Found a cave, stayed in it till the rain stopped
8:00 pm
Returned to normal
8:30 pm
Went over the rocks and muddy road
9: 30 pm
Went home safely
T: OK! Now imagine you are safely back home after the disaster. Write a diary entry about your experience and how you felt during it according to your timeline.
A sample version:
A Hurricane
I am still terrified and a little excited. This afternoon my brother and I went to the hills to have a walk. It’s too hot at home. We were walking and talking happily, when we feel cool wind blowing. “It’s going to rain. Let’s go home.” Jim said. “But we cannot get across the river.” I said, pointing to the river. The bridge had been washed away by the floods. So we had to find another way back. We walked along the river, trying to find another way home. At that time, it started to wind. “Where are we? We are lost.” I asked my brother anxiously. “Don’t worry. Be calm. Sit there to have a rest and I will climb up to the rock to see where we are.” Jim comforted me. Then he climbed up to the rock. “I see the way.” he shouted happily. Unluckily, it began to rain and wind heavily. “We have to take shelter from the rain now.” Jim said, “After the rain stop we can leave here. There is a cave over there. I remember I have been there.” We ran into the cave and collected some sticks to make a fire. It’s for about an hour that we stayed in the cave. Everything returned to normal. We began to make our way home. The path was muddy and rocks were slippery. It took us a long time to go over the rocks and go home. My parents were about to look for us when we arrived home. They were anxious about us and believed we were lost. What exciting and adventurous experience!
Step Ⅴ Homework
T: Please turn to page 75. In next period, we will make a classroom display about natural disasters. Read the instructions and do some preparations after class. Collect pictures and diagrams and look for information about:
● what causes this kind of disaster;
● actual events that happened in the past in China or the rest of the world;
● how people helped the victims;
● what is being done to prevent the disaster happening again or to lessen the damage.
That’s all for today. See you tomorrow.

Step Ⅰ Reading (P72)
The passage tells us a story about the experience of a woman who was trapped in the flood. After the students read the story, get them to retell the story and invent an ending to the story.
T: Look at the two pictures on page 73. What is happening?
S1: A woman was trying to escape from a flood. She was climbing up to the roof with her baby on her back. She also took her cat and dog along. It’s still raining heavily. The water level had risen to the window. Sitting on the roof, she put on the raincoat and waited for rescue.
T: Now let’s read the text and find what happened to the woman.
After reading.
T: Was Sara rescued? The story still needs an ending. Suppose you are Sara and imagine what happened at last. Then retell the story to your partners.
A sample version:
Trapped by the Flood
You cannot imagine the terrible day. It had been raining for two weeks. The river near our house was rising higher and higher all the time. Tony, my husband, and others from the village had spent the last two days putting sandbags along the side of the river to stop it overflowing. Finally they feared that their hard work had been useless and soon the whole village would flood. He rang me immediately and asked me to go to my mother’s place, which was on higher place and would be safe from the flood. I was preparing for a nice dinner. The next day was my husband’s birthday. I wanted to cook him a nice meal and surprise him with the new mountain bike I’d bought for him. I was a little disappointed, but I followed his advice. I dressed baby James in warm clothes and collected the things I would need over the next few days. I put the lead on the dog, Rosie, went to search for the cat, Monty. It took me a long time to look for it. At last, I found him under the covers on my bed. As I was reaching for the car keys, I heard a sound. I looked at the back door and saw the water flowing in underneath. Attaching baby to my back, I ran to the front of the house and out into the front garden with Rosie and Monty. It seemed that the water would soon be much deeper, I ran to the car, climbed first onto the front of the car and then onto the roof. Sitting on the roof, I found the water rushing past the car, was already half way up the doors and still rising. I put on the raincoat to protect my baby from the rain. Luckily, I found my mobile phone in my pocket. I dialed my mother, but I couldn’t get through. Telephone poles must have been brought down by fallen trees. “What should I do?” Waiting on the roof anxiously, I looked around, hoping to find a boat to save us. Suddenly, I heard someone calling me. “Where are you?” I shouted. “Here. In the tree.” I looked towards the trees. Mr White was in the tree. The water was rushing under him. “Catch the tree tightly.” I shouted. “Don’t worry! They will come to save us.” We encouraged each other. Half an hour past, the rain stopped. The baby cried hungrily. Rosie and Monty lay silently. “Why don’t they come to save us? What happened? They will find us soon.” I had to force myself not to panic. Just then I heard my husband calling me. “We are here, on the roof.” I waved happily. We were saved at last. I was relieved when we finally reached a safe place.
Step Ⅱ Listening (P73)
Get the students to listen to the material and make a timeline of Sara’s story.
T: We are going to listen to Sara telling her mother about her experience. Is the ending the same as the ending that you invented? Listen and make notes about the main events in the story. Then make a timeline according to your notes.
The students listen and make notes. After they complete their timeline, check their answers in class.
Step Ⅲ Project
T: Share your information, pictures and diagrams
with others and get into a group with those who are interested in the same kind of disaster. Then decide how to make your display and who is going to do what.
After the students finish, ask two groups to present their work in class.
A sample version:
Mud-rock Flow
First, I will show what causes mud-rock flow. Take Yuyang, a county in Yunnan, for example.
The old Yuyang County is located in an ancient landslide 223.7 km from the dam site, which has been divided into eastern and western parts. The eastern town slide is less than l90 meters in height and the volume is 400×l04×3. The western town slide is less than 350 meters in height and has a volume of 2500×104×3. The slide mass consists of silty clay with calcareous nodules, silty clay intermingled with rock detritus and disintegrated rocks, with depth of 44m. The silty clay intermingled with rock detritus and the disintegrated rocks formed the sliding surface with a depth of 0.63-6.6m. The front of the slide is near the river.
Many deformations occurred in different places since 1982 and surface drainage and consolidation measures were applied by local government. On the morning of January 17 in 2001, the collapse and landslide occurred, with a total volume of over 5×104×3. Rock masses with soil sided along the slope, cumulating over the slope 500m high. A small quantity of large rock masses broke its way into the town and caused harm to the residential areas. A hazardous rock mass of 2-3 × l04×3 remained on the top of the slope. The collapse masses and hazardous rock mass are in an unstable state. On April 19, part of the collapse masses fell off. On July 12 and 18, triggered by the rainfall, the collapse masses slide twice and intruded the town area in the form of mud-rock flow, endangering the residents and the buildings.
Sometimes, the mud-rock flow was caused by continuous, heavy rainfall from Typhoon.
The following is an actual event that happened in China.
At least 11 people have been killed and 34 are missing in a rare mud-rock flow brought by floods in two counties of southwest China’s Yunnan Province. Six people were seriously injured and 360 more people were stranded in the flood and mud-rock flow, with 2,100 houses toppled and over 1,000 heads of cattle killed.
The government and people help them immediately.
The Yunnan Provincial Civil Affairs Department has quickly transported quilts and clothes to the two counties, and over 3,900 people have been removed from the disaster-hit areas.
The Yueqing municipal government has allocated 30 million yuan (US$3.6 million) of relief fund and aroused more than 300 people to search for the missing villagers and restore infrastructure.
Each victim’s family received a 20,000 yuan (US$2,400) allowance from the government, said Mayor Huang Zhengqiang.
The government also allocated rice, pork, salt, vegetables and mineral water to the villagers, as the catastrophe cut off water and food supplies.
The government has taken some measures to lessen the damage.
The municipal government plans to relocate several of the villages to safer locations before February 2005. Meanwhile, the government has solicited donations from local enterprises and asked the villagers to help themselves and resume production at an earlier date.

FLOODS AND DAMS
Life Givers, Life Takers
They bring both death and the promise of renewed life, often on the same rushing tide.
Floods can cause untold misery. More than 3,000 people were killed and 14 million were homeless in China during the summer of 1998. The cause: the heaviest flooding of China’s Yangtze and other rivers since 1954. In 1931 almost four million died along China’s Huanghe, or Yellow River, when it surged over its banks. Heavy summer rains in the U.S. Midwest swelled the Mississippi, Missouri, and several other rivers in 1993, destroying entire towns and covering millions of acres of farmland.
But when rivers overflow their banks due to melting snow or torrential rains, floods enrich surrounding land, leaving behind organic material and minerals in the sand, silt, and debris. Ancient Egyptians planned their planting and their lives around the summer flooding of the Nile, which leaves a thin, even coating of black mud along either side when it recedes, leaving the soil so enriched that fertilizer is unnecessary.
Flash floods, which rise and fall rapidly with little or no warning, and tsunamis-seismic waves caused by undersea earthquakes and volcanoes — also drown people and livestock and destroy their habitations, as does flooding due to rains associated with hurricanes.
EARTHQUAKES
Sunday Surprise
Many were caught inside churches that fair Sunday morning. What began as a gentle trembling of the ground quickly grew strong enough to shake buildings. One witness likened the sound coming from the Earth to the rumble of faraway thunder.
It was just a foreshock. In the next moment the Reverend Charles Davy was “instantly stunned with a most horrid crash, as if every edifice in the city had tumbled down at once.” Davy said another survivor recalled seeing “the whole city waving backwards and forwards, like the sea when the wind first begins to rise.” In all there were three major earthquakes, several tsunamis, and a conflagration that consumed most of the Portuguese city of Lisbon on November 1, 1755-All Saints’Day. Some estimates put the death toll at over 60,000.
Over the millennia earthquakes have killed countless people and tossed their structures about like toys. About 35 earthquakes are observed around the globe every day, and about 18 major ones per year.
They can happen anywhere. A series of quakes near the town of New Madrid, Missouri, during the winter of 1811-1812 was felt as far north as Canada, as far south as the Gulf of Mexico, and rattled chinaware in Washington, D.C. Because the U.S. Midwest was so sparsely populated, the death toll was light. Today New Madrid lies within 150 miles (240 kilometers) of two major metropolises: St. Louis, Missouri, and Memphis, Tennessee; and 325 miles (520 kilometers) from Kansas City, Missouri.
When a Midwest earthquake happens again, as experts say it surely will, the toll in human life and property destruction is expected to be ghastly.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A ★
Dear Highlights,
My sister is always in a bad mood, which gets me in a bad mood. What should I do?
Tessa, Virginia
It can be hard to be around someone who is in a bad mood. Since you can’t change another person’s mood, try to focus on what you can control: your own mood and reaction.
You might find it easier to stay in a good mood if you leave your sister alone when she feels grumpy (脾气暴躁的). The next time she is in a bad mood, go to a quiet place in your house. Read, exercise, draw, listen to music — do something that makes you feel happy.
Your parents might have some good suggestions for you, too.
Dear Highlights,
I play soccer, but sometimes I play badly. How can I do better?
Jarom, Utah
To be good at anything, determination and practice are important. Listen closely to your coach, watch other players, then practice, practice, practice! Professional athletes continue to practice their sports each day, knowing that if they start to get lazy, they won’t keep or develop their skills.
In addition to practicing with teammates, you can work on drills on your own.
Learning more about the sport may help too. Your coach can likely direct you to some good resources on skills development.
Dear Highlights,
I was moved up a grade a few years ago. Now, almost everyone in my previous grade asks me why. It wouldn’t be a problem, except some boys ask over and over just to be annoying. What do I do?
Allison (by e-mail)
If you’re sure that they are trying to be annoying, you might respond with something humorous. For example, you could say something like “They told me that the lunch lines would be shorter.” Use the situation to turn annoying questions into something to laugh about.
56. What should Tessa do when her sister gets bad-tempered?
A. Accompany her.
B. Change her mood.
C. Try some happy things.
D. Leave her in a quiet place.
57. When talking about Jarom’s problem, Highlights especially stresses the importance of ______.
A. determination B. practice
C. team spirit D. the coach’s help
58. What’s Allison’s problem?
A. She cannot get along well with her classmates.
B. Some boys in her class annoy her on purpose.
C. She is fed up with being asked the same question.
D. Her friends cannot accept that she moved up a grade.
59. What can we learn from the answer to Allison’s question?
A. Laughter is the best medicine.
B. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C. A sense of humor makes you easy-going.
D. Humor can ease the tension in many situations.
B ★★
The secret of happiness could be as simple as remembering the good times and forgetting the regrets. People who look at the past through rose-colored glasses are happier than those who focus on negative past experiences and regrets, according to a new study published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
The study helps explain why personality has such a strong influence on a person’s happiness and the findings suggest that people with certain personality traits (特征) are happier than others because of the way they think about their past, present and future.
“We found that highly extraverted(外向型的) people are happier with their lives because they tend to hold a positive view of the past and are less likely to have negative thoughts and regrets. On the contrary, neurotic (神经质的) people are likely to have the exact opposite view of the past and are less happy as a result,” said Ryan Howell, assistant professor of psychology at San Francisco State University.
“This is good news because although it may be difficult to change your personality, you may be able to change your view of time and improve your happiness,” Howell said.
The authors suggest that enjoying happy memories or reframing (重新构筑) painful past experiences in a positive light could be effective ways for individuals to increase their life satisfaction.
“Personality traits influence how people look at the past, present and future and it is these different perspectives on time that drive a person’s happiness,” Howell said.
60. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means ______.
A. view the past in a very positive way
B. look back with very beautiful glasses
C. have experienced a wonderful past
D. love glasses with a rose color
61. According to Howell, if you want to improve your happiness, you can ______.
A. change your personality
B. deny your painful past experiences
C. improve your life standard
D. change your perspective on time
62. The text is probably taken from a ______.
A. research paper B. lifestyle magazine
C. medical textbook D. fashion journal
C ★★★
David Beckham thinks he would be more useful as a player than a coach at the 2012 London Olympic Games when Britain fields (使参加比赛) its first Olympic football team since 1960.
The former England captain will be 37 when the Olympics come to London, but he says that fitness will not be an issue.
“There are several months to go and there are a lot of decisions to be made but I would love to be part of it,” Beckham told the BBC on Monday. “I’m sure I’d be better as a player than a coach so I’ll have to wait and see. I still feel as if I’m 21 when I’m playing. I still love the game like I did when I was 21. I still feel as fit.
“Everyone knows I have looked after myself eating-wise, fitness-wise. So I’m not in bad shape and I’ll continue to work hard and hopefully I can be part of it.”
Stuart Pearce, the manager of England under-21, the feeder team for the England national football team, is going to take charge of the team, with The Football Association administering the team and set to provide all the players.
The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish associations won’t be part of the team because of fears it would affect their independence and voting rights within FIFA.

Check out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe.
The Japanese word for tsunami means harbor wave.
Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal (受潮汐影响的) waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides.
Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
As a tsunami approaches the shore (海岸), water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow (浅的) enough the water may be pulled back hundreds of metres. If you are in the area, you can know that a tsunami is on the way when you see this phenomenon.
Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time as possible to move to a safe place.
When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast) they slow down but increase in height.
An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries.
In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.
The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres in some areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents.
67. How many causes of tsunamis are mentioned in the text?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
68. In the Tohoku earthquake over 15,000 people died mainly because of ______.
A. the earthquake itself
B. the lack of warning systems
C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake
D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami
69. What do we learn from the text?
A. The Japanese invented the term “tidal waves”.
B. The term “tidal waves” is used more often than tsunami.
C. When tsunamis slow down, their waves can reach 40 metres.
D. When hitting shallow water, tsunamis will rise higher.
70. The text is developed mainly by ______.
A. listing some facts
B. giving some examples
C. providing some numbers
D. making some comparisons

How to teach kids responsibility
We’d all like our kids to develop into responsible people. How can we help to ensure that our kids learn the lessons of responsibility? Here are some ideas:
Start them with tasks when they’re young.
71 They can do a lot more than you think if you’re patient and creative. Encourage them to begin at an early age, and this helps them build confidence and enthusiasm for later tasks in their life.
Don’t use rewards with your kids.
If you want your kids to develop a natural sense of responsibility, they need to learn what they do affects others not just themselves. 72
Use natural consequences when they make mistakes.
If they keep losing their baseball glove somewhere, let them deal with the consequences. Maybe they have to ask to borrow one for the game. 73 If you rescue them every time they make a mistake, they’ll never learn responsibility.
74
This is where they’ll learn it from. Take care of your stuff. Try to be on time. They’re watching you very closely.
Give them an allowance (零用钱) early in their life.
Let them make their own money decisions from an early age. They’ll learn their lessons in a hurry. 75
A. Model responsible behavior for your kids.
B. Maybe they have to buy a new one if it’s lost.
C. Don’t help them out if they run out of money.
D. Train your kids to be responsible and careful.
E. They won’t learn that if they’re focused on what they’re going to “get”.
F. Young kids have a strong desire to help out, even as young as age two.
G. They’ll pick up on this belief and they’ll tend to rise to the level of expectation.

More and more Chinese middle school students have gone to abroad to study since the 1990s. Like many language learners said, the students usually become fluent in foreign languages and can gain the good knowledge of foreign cultures. They can also improve their understanding of their own culture. Besides, they have to learn what to depend in themselves. Studying abroad may have its disadvantage as well. Some students may fall behind in their studies. Some students may feel unsafe to stay abroad on their own. Moreover, their parents may be concerning about the high cost.
In my opinion, the students ought to finishing their college education in China and then take farther education abroad.

Nature, in my opinion, is our friend not our enemy. That is to say, we should live in harmony with nature.
But how can we achieve this goal? First of all, we must try to respect the rules and laws of nature, and apply them correctly in our own life. Secondly, we ought to do what we can to protect the environment and achieve ecological balance. Lastly, we should love and protect all animals and plants to maintain biodiversity.
Only by living in harmony with nature, can we make our world a better place and enjoy a happy life.

A
WASHINGTON—There are more than 222million TVs in American homes . And it would make Frank Vespe very happy this week if every last one was turned off.
Vespe is the head of the TV—Turnoff Net —work , the Washington organization behind TV Turnoff Week .
For TV Turnoff week, American children are encouraged to go one week without watching TV. This year, it runs from April 23~29.
“Our real message here is to see what life is like without TV and then make watching TV a conscious （自觉的）decision ,” said Vespe.
Vespe said that most of the children who go without television for a week go back to watching, but not as much. “They watch more selectively. They do more things as a family. It helps them put TV in its place.”
One girl who is turning off her TV is Sarah Foote, 9, of Virginia.
Sarch admits that it won’t be too hard to give up TV. She’s allowed to watch only educational television, and her favorite show from last year isn’t on any more.
Of course, there are plenty of things about TV: programs can be entertaining, even educational.
Even so, some experts aren’t sure TV Turnoff Week is the answer.
Susan Neuman, a university educator who studies children and reading, says the real problem is that parents do not keep track of what their children are watching. They don’t set limits on TV watching. Also, in some families, TV might be the only thing there is to do.
What message does Sarah have for other children?
“It’s a very good idea. I spent a whole week without TV. It also teaches you to enjoy time doing different things and not being sucked into something on TV, because you don’t want TV taking up all of your time,” Sarah said.
46. From the passage we know that .
A. American TV companies will be turned off
B. Vespe is very happy as very TV set was turned off
C. Vespe has persuaded most people to turn off their TV sets
D. Vespe is an active person in the TV—Turnoff organization
47. As Vespe said in this passage, turning off TV a week can help children .
A. forget to watch TV programmes
B. improve their habits of watching TV
C. place TV sets out of their bedrooms
D. see what life is like without watching TV
48. In some experts’ opinion, .
A. parents should turn off TV for their children
B. parents should direct their children how to use TV
C. children should enjoy exciting programmes on TV
D. children should learn their lessons on TV
49. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To advise us to turn off TV sets.
B. To warn parents of the danger of TV.
C. To report to us a piece of news about TV.
D. To praise Vespe and his organization .

Unless we spend money to prevent asteroids （小行星）now , one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it , some scientists say .
Asteroids are bigger ones of the meteoroids （流星）that run across the night sky . Most orbit the sun far from the earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision（碰撞）course with Earth .
Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $ 10million a year for the next 25 years to find the position of most of the space rocks. By the time we pick out a key one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.
Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.
Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any danger are: How likely the event is; How bad the results will be if the event happens. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of lives might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare —but if one did fall , it would be the end of the world . “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist, “It’s that simple.”
The cure , though , might be worse than the disease . Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from the rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,”said a New York Times article.
50. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
A. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.
B. They are heavenly bodies different in nature.
C. There are more asteroids than meteoroids.
D. Asteroids are more secret than meteoroids.
51. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.
B. Such a collision might happen once every 25 years.
C. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might happen.
D. Collisions of asteroids with Earth happen more often than expected.
52. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to change the course of asteroids?
A. It sounds practical but may not solve the problem.
B. It may create more problems than it might solve.
C. It is a waste of money because a collision with Earth is very unlikely.
D. Further research should be done before it proves workable.
53. We can conclude from the passage that .
A. while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.
B. asteroids running across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
C. the worry about asteroids can be left to further generations since it’s unlikely to happen in our time.
D. workable ways still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth
C
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues （自言自语）as “Get up , John ! You’ll be late for work again !” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature—and —energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract （打乱）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to . If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle , but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point .
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn （呵欠）and stretch . Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine （常规的）work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours .
54. Which of the following causes family quarrels?
A. Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.
B. Familiar monologues.
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members
55. If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should .
A. change your energy cycle B. overcome your laziness
C. get up early than usual D. go to bed earlier
56. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your temper early in the day
C. enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
57. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Change Your Habits B. Save Your Energy
C. Daily Energy Cycle D. Temperature—and—Energy Peak
D
Scientists have discovered a gene （基因）that plays a role in violence （暴力）in men ill—treated in childhood . The discovery could explain why some experience unhappy childhoods and go on to normal lives, while others turn to violence, crime of antisocial deeds. But it will also restart another argument.
Terrie Moffitt and Avshalom Caspi report in Science today that one common form of a gene in the brain makes men more likely to be violent—but only if they have experienced cruelty or rejection in childhood . The researchers followed up the life histories of 442boys born in New Zealand in 1972. Of these, 154 had been illtreated in the first 10 years, 33 of them badly. They had either experienced sexual attack, beatings or rejection by mother or stepparents. Of the 154 children , 55had a less active variant （变异体）of a gene called MAOA, and 99had the more active variant . The 55 boys were more than twice as likely to have been in trouble than the other ill—treated group . They made up 12% of the total, but were responsible for 44%of all crimes from among the 442 boys.
Prof Moffitt thought a “violence” gene had not been discovered. Boys with the less active form who were not ill—treated during childhood lived normal lives . “It is very common in the population. One third of us have it .”she said , “So the gene doesn’t do much of anything , it doesn’t cause any trouble in any way , unless we are also ill —treated”.
The gene might also show the ability to bear mental stress. The army or the police might examine the applicants （申请人）to see if they have the more active form . But the discovery also raises the argument that people with the less active form of the gene could be social dangers, to be treated with medicine. “This research can easily leads people to fix social problems through medical treatment,” said David King of the UK Gene Alert Group.
58. According to the passage, the less active variant of the gene .
A. will totally determine men’s character and behaviour
B. always leads to trouble —making
C. might be responsible for boys’ bad deeds
D. plays no role in children’s development
59. We can learn from the passage that those men who have stronger ability to bear mental stress usually .
A. have the more active variant of gene
B. have the less active variant of the gene
C. had ill —treated childhood
D. had no ill—treated childhood
60. According to the passage, we can infer that .
A. one fifth of the population carry the less active variant.
B. boys with the less active variant will not live normal lives
C. all the people agree with the idea of “violence” gene
D. the less active variant and ill—treated experience contribute to violence
61. David King’s words in the last paragraph implies that .
A. he agrees with the research findings of the gene MAOA
B. he doesn’t believe the possible role of the less active variant
C. he considers that the research is of no great importance
D. he thinks the findings to solve the social problems too simple
E
Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English). The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace （Chang’an Street）, for example, advised: “To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery are Very Crafty,”a warning that the sidewalk was slippery. Another sign in a Beijing park reads: “Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk “.
Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle , said : “Linguistic perfection (语言美)is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city .”
However, not everyone shares the disdain （蔑视）of the Beijing government for the mixed language. “The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes,” explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat—which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play .”
If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English—language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.
62. The underlined word “obliterated” refers to .
A. removed B. exploited C. translated D. beautified
63. From the passage, we know that .
A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language
B. all the people don’t share the disdain for the mixed language
C. Chinglish usually communicates in many cases
D. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases
64. We can infer that the English—language versions of newspapers .
A. should be in duty to teach normal English
B. should report the battle above
C. should be paid more attention to
D. should collect more Chinglish phrases
65. Which of the following signs is Chinglish?
A B
C D

Dear friends,
Time waits for no man. The five days’ short but meaningful summer camp will soon come to the end just like a beautiful dream. In the camp we took part in two important competitions. One was the speech competition and the other the debate competition, in which we learned from each other and encouraged each other. I really got a great deal. The experience in the summer camp will be the most wonderful and unforgettable part of my life.
At the time for saying good-bye, I hate to leave you. I will miss you. So let’s just work hard and try to meet again next year in the 2003 National English Summer Camp for College Students. That’s all. Thank you.
