◆教学目标
By the end of this section, we will be able to:
1. identify the argument and structure of the article;
2. locate(找到) specific information related to the content;
3. have a positive attitude towards physical appearance.
Look at the title and discuss the following questions
(1)How do you judge a book
(2)How do you understand the title
I usually judge a book by its content.
The “book” refers to one’s character or qualities and the “cover” refers to one’s physical appearance. This title suggests that we can’t judge by appearances.
Read the article to analyse its structure and summarize the main idea of each part.
Part 1 (para. 1)
Part 2 (paras. 2-3)
Part 3 (paras. 4-6)
Part 4 (para. 7)
Dark thoughts about physical appearance have negative effects.
There are two causes behind these negative thoughts.
We have ways to deal with these external influences.
Learn to see the good things about yourself and you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are
“Don't judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. △ Dark thoughts about your physical

standards of beauty in the media
friends
Stop following popular beauty
standards blindly.
Keep in mind that your family and
friends love you just the way you are.
Focus on your strengths.
Direct your attention away from
negative thoughts.
Answer the following questions
1. What's the function of paragraph 1 and paragraph 7
Paragraph 1: Introduce the topic by asking questions to draw readers’ attention to the problem.
Paragraph 7: Interpret the meaning of the title and draw a conclusion.
2. In para. 2, the author mentions that the media set some standards for beauty. Can you think of some of these standards
A person who possesses beauty might have a slim figure, a pointed chin(尖下巴), double eyelids and a Roman nose(高鼻梁).
3.Are you in favour of these standards Why
No. They are unrealistic [ nr l st k](不切实际的;不实事求是的) for the majority of people. And standards of beauty should be various.
4.What are your standards of beauty
Just as Audrey Hepburn said that “Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out.”
美就是从内到外做最好的自己。
5. Besides the two external influences on ones views about physical appearance listed in the article, can you think of other influences
Prejudice and discrimination [d skr m ne n] can also influence one’s thoughts.
B. Can you think of other causes of teenagers’ negative thoughts on their physical appearance and other effective ways to deal with them Make a list and explain briefly. P54
The causes of teenagers negative thoughts on their physical appearance are not always external. Some teenagers are not confident enough and always believe they do not look good enough. To get rid of thoughts like this, they must have more confidence in themselves.
For instance, they can write down things that make them feel good about themselves. Stopping comparing themselves with others may help too. It is also a good idea to use positive statements and spend more time with supportive (给予帮助的;支持的;鼓励的;同情的) people.
C. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is an English saying. What are some Chinese sayings about one’s physical appearance Choose one that you agree with and explain why. P54
I know of a few Chinese sayings about one’s appearance, for example, “人靠衣装马靠鞍”and “人不可貌相,海水不可斗量”. The one that I agree with most is “人不可貌相,海水不可斗量”. If we judge by appearances, we may make mistakes.
After all, appearance is only superficial [ su p f l](表面的;外面的;外表的;浅薄的;肤浅的) and one’s inner self is what matters more.
毕竟,外表只是表面,一个人的内在才是更重要的。 (共45张PPT)

Tapescript
Alice: Hello! My name is Alice and today I’m reporting on the plastic surgery industry. Plastic surgery is undoubtedly becoming more and more popular. Every year, millions of people decide to have plastic surgery to change their looks. You might think only women want plastic surgery, but recent research shows that, surprisingly, about one third of all plastic surgery patients are men.
The average age of patients is falling and experts believe the industry will only continue to grow in the future.
Then why is plastic surgery so popular these days Many people see it as the easiest way to help improve their appearance. Some of these patients have obvious problems like burn marks, while others are just unhappy with their looks.
By improving their appearance, plastic surgery can help people in both groups build their self-confidence.
However, it’s also important to consider the disadvantages. Plastic surgery is very expensive. In addition, any kind of surgery carries [带有,带来(某种结果或后果)] serious health risks.
Patients may suffer health problems after failed plastic surgery operations. In some extreme cases, patients may even die during operations. Finally, the results of plastic surgery might not be what people expect. This is especially true for teenagers, as their bodies are still growing.
Doctors strongly advise against plastic surgery for people under eighteen unless it is necessary, for example, to treat burn marks. It is important to weigh up(认真考虑;权衡;斟酌) all of the advantages and disadvantages before deciding whether or not to have plastic surgery. Remember: think before you act.

Possible answer
A: Plastic surgery is very popular so it can’t be that bad! On the whole, I feel it’s great because it helps people. I think there are many positive benefits.
B: I’m afraid I don’t agree. It’s popular because people are only interested in their appearance and believe it’ll make them feel better about themselves.
A: To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with that if it builds confidence and changes people’s lives. But it’s not good if someone gets addicted to it looking for perfection [p fek n]----that’s impossible.
B: Well, I oppose the idea of low confidence as a good reason for plastic surgery----they can change to a healthier lifestyle.
I’d support it only if there were very strict rules about who can have it.
A: I think it’s good in any situation when it helps those who need it. What about those born with medical problems
B: As I said, I’d support those who need it for medical reasons because it’s important for their health,
but I’m against unnecessary plastic surgery. People are risking their lives every time they go under the knife.
D. Write an argument essay expressing your opinion about plastic surgery. Use your ideas from part C and the information in parts A and B to help you.
Planning your writing

Punctuation Spelling Grammar Choice of words Style (formal/informal)
Structure
Possible answer
Plastic surgery: beauty or beast
Plastic surgery is becoming more and more popular these days. Plastic surgery might help people feel good about themselves sometimes, but its negative consequence outweigh(重于;大于;超过) its benefits. I think people should never have plastic surgery.
First, people do not always get satisfactory results from plastic surgery. Nowadays more and more people have to go back under the knife because the first surgery was not what they wanted. No one can make sure that the result of plastic surgery will be exactly what the patient expected.
In addition, plastic surgery can be dangerous. Some people suffer terrible pain and have serious health problems after surgery. People should not risk their health to change their physical appearance. The problem is often the negative self-image in their mind, rather than anything wrong with their body.问题往往是他们心中消极的自我形象,而不是他们的身体有什么问题。
Instead of surgery, they should first try safer methods to improve their body image, such as having a healthier lifestyle.
Moreover, people may get addicted to plastic surgery. People have plastic surgery because they want to improve their appearance. However, there is no perfection.
People who undergo plastic surgery once tend to get more operations to change other parts of their body afterwards.
For these reasons, people should never have plastic surgery. If they want to improve their confidence in their appearance, they should think of other methods that are less risky, such as exercise.(共61张PPT)

Building skills P77
A. Reading and speaking
A1.Scientists have been working hard to understand and control weight gain(体重增加). Read the magazine article about some scientific developments in this field and answer the questions below.
Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape, while others carefully watch(小心;当心;留意) what they eat and still put on weight How frustrating [fr stre t ] (令人懊恼的;令人沮丧的)! However, scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
Scientists say that when some people eat, their bodies will naturally store the excess [ k ses ] energy from food as fat. These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day. Meanwhile, other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to “burn off” the extra food without making fat, so they rarely have weight problems.
burn sth off
A. 烧掉;烧除
Burn off the old paint before repainting the door.
先把门上的旧漆烧掉,再刷新油漆。
B. (通过锻炼等)消耗能量
This workout helps you to burn off fat and tone muscles.这项锻炼有助于消耗脂肪,使肌肉强健。
To show that this is true, scientists have experimented on laboratory mice. They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat. Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin, even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise. Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic factors.
experiment [ k sper m nt] (on sb/sth) | ~ (with sth)  
A. 做试验;进行实验
Some people feel that experimenting on animals is wrong.
有人觉得利用动物做试验是错误的。
B. 尝试;试用
I experimented until I got the recipe just right.我不断地尝试,直至找到正合适的烹饪法为止。
They also believe they have now identified(找到;发现) the genes that may cause this tendency. These genes, according to the scientists, get passed down the generations. △ Armed with this knowledge, they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
pass sth down[常用被动态] 使世代相传;流传,=hand down
The tradition has been passerd down from father to son for generations.
这一传统由父传子,世代相传。
These skills used to be handed down from father to son.
这些技术以往都是父子相传。
armed (with sth) 备有所需的
He was armed with all the facts.
他备有所需的全部事实材料。
Armed only with a BBC microphone, I travelled across South Africa meeting writers. 仅仅凭借着一支英国广播公司的话筒,我走遍了南非,会见了许多作家。
arm yourself/sb (with sth) 武装;装备;备战
She thought that if she armed herself with all the knowledge she could gather she could handle anything.
她以为,如果获取了所有能学到的知识,就能处理任何事。
The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the number of people who are overweight continues to grow. In the United States, over seventy per cent of the population have weight problems. This means they are at risk of illnesses such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
number (of sb/sth) 数量;数额
A large number of people have applied for the job.许多人申请了这工作。
The number of homeless people has increased dramatically.
无家可归者的人数急剧增加了。
Huge numbers of (= very many) animals have died.有大量的动物死去。
A number of (= some) problems have arisen.已经出现了一些问题。
at risk (from/of sth)
有危险;冒风险
As with all diseases, certain groups will be more at risk than others.
所有的疾病都是如此,一些人比另一些人更容易受到威胁。
If we go to war, innocent lives will be put at risk .如果我们发动战争,无辜的生命就会受到威胁。
Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects, such as heart problems. However, it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs. △ Therefore, despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs, scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy, balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise.
△ This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight, but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
1.What does the underlined phrase “the excess energy” in the second paragraph mean
2. What experiment did scientists do and what did they learn from it
“The excess energy” means energy that is more than what our body needs.
They did an experiment in which laboratory mice all ate the same food and were made to do the same amount of exercise. But some gained weight while others stayed thin. This means genetic differences between the mice probably influenced how much weight they put on.
A2. In turns(依次;轮流;逐个), describe what happens to the boy in the pictures below. You may give a name to the boy and add details. You should talk about the changes in the boy’s lifestyle and body shape. Use the example below to help you and pay attention to the expressions in bold.
In the first picture, we see Charley is overweight. So he makes up his mind to lose weight. Instead of eating junk food and sitting around, Charley starts exercising. He goes running nearly every day. He has also changed to a balanced diet. He eats fruit and vegetables rather than chips and fried chicken.
sit about/around(often disapproving) 无所事事地消磨时间;闲坐
I'm far too busy to sit around here.
我忙得不可开交,没空在这儿闲坐。
[+ -ing 短语]
He just sits around watching videos.
他整天闲坐着看录像。
He starts eating a bowl of low-fat yogurt after meals. He is gradually losing weight and looks thinner as compared with what he looks like in the first picture. The second picture shows Charley has really slimmed down[(靠节食等)变苗条,减肥] and looks much healthier.

James: Hi, Laura, it’s James. I have thought about what you said yesterday and I think you are right. I’ve had a pretty unhealthy lifestyle lately. I haven’t had much energy. Maybe it’s because I’ve spent too much time sitting in front of the computer and the TV. I’ve eaten a lot of junk food too. I eat chips nearly every day on my way home.
I’ve put on weight. A lot! My mum told me this morning I looked overweight. I felt upset when she said it but I know she’s got a point(道理).
Now I really need to slim down a bit. I’ll learn more about nutrition and sort my diet out. I guess I should cut back (减少;削减;缩减) on chips and have more fruit and vegetables. Maybe you could also tell me some more about that activity camp you mentioned yesterday

B3.It is important to think about one’s health. Writing an article calling for a healthy lifestyle. P79
Nowadays, many people have unhealthy lifestyles, often without realizing it. For example, some people spend too much time sitting: they work at a desk all day, or watch television for several hours. All of these activities are bad for our health.
Living healthily is very important. If you are fit and active, the risk of getting sick will be reduced.
With a healthy lifestyle, you’ll be able to enjoy a long, happy and disease-free life.
To improve our lifestyle, we need to have a balanced diet. Stay away from junk food. Instead, eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Exercising will make a difference too: have fun playing sports with your friends after school!
Don't stay at home at the weekend. Put down your phone, take a walk and get some sunlight.
Having a healthy lifestyle is not hard or expensive. Let’s make a change right now!(共95张PPT)

 There is growing concern about (…对…的忧虑日益加重) weight problems among senior high school students. The news report below is about a teenage girl who tried to lose weight by skipping meals. Before you read the news report, think about the following questions.
Do you think senior high school students should pay much attention to their weight Why or why not
No, I don't think they should. Students at senior high school are teenagers so their bodies are going through many changes.
Teenagers become bigger and stronger so their weight will naturally increase as they grow. If they worry too much about their weight, they may use extreme methods to lose weight and do harm to their bodies. They could also feel anxious, which is not good for their mental health.
What do you think are healthy ways of losing weight
I think one healthy way of losing weight is to eat good food at home every day instead of takeaways and snacks. △ To do exercise or play some sports is also an effective way to lose weight----walking or riding a bicycle are the easiest and cheapest ways to exercise.

A. Understanding the text
Understanding a news report
A news report usually starts with a lead. It gives the most important information about an event. Then the following paragraphs give more detailed information about the event. Some news reports go on to provide background or supporting information.
A1. Read the news report and complete the chart(图表) below. P46
Part 1 The lead
Part 2 more detailed information about the event
Para. 1: A teenage girl fainted yesterday at school after skipping meals.
Paras. 2-4: The girl skipped meals to get slim. She is now recovering in hospital.
Part 3 background or supporting information
Para. 5: A survey shows that many teenagers are using extreme methods to lose weight.
Paras. 6-7: The expert gives advice on how to lose weight properly.
A2. Read the news report again carefully and answer the following questions.P46
1. Why was Jennifer rushed to hospital
Because she fainted in her morning PE lesson.
2. What did Laura do when she found out Jennifer was skipping meals
She warned Jennifer that it was unhealthy.
3. What are some of the dangerous methods teenagers use to lose weight
4 What lifestyle tips did the expert give
Skipping meals, over-exercising and taking weight-loss medicine.
Having a healthy balanced diet, keeping regular hours and getting plenty of exercise.
A headline is the title of a news report, which is printed in large letters above the report, such as “Teen faints after skipping meals” in this news report. What are the functions of a news headline
A headline sums up(总结;概括) the report and catches the reader’s attention.
A3. In pairs, discuss the following questions. P46
1. A news report headline[ (报纸的)大字标题] should tell the reader what happened and draw their attention. Can you think of another headline for this report
Teenage girl faints because of low blood sugar levels.
Which headline is better Give your reasons.
I think “Teen faints after skipping meals” is better. From the original headline readers will instantly know the definite (确凿的,确切的) reason why the teenager faints and could predict that the news report deals with(涉及,论及,关于)teenage dieting habits
while “low blood sugar levels” in the second one may not be directly related to unhealthy teenage dieting habits.
2. Jennifer is now in hospital. Suppose you are Jennifer's best friend. What would you say to her
Having a healthy body is more important than being slim. You should never risk[冒着(失去生命等)的危险] your health to lose weight. If you really want to lose some weight, I will play sport with you.
3. What are the possible causes of weight problems Make a list.
Eating too much junk food, drinking sugary [ ɡ ri] (含糖的;甜的) drinks, lack of physical exercise, temptation [temp te n](引诱;诱惑) of indoor activities including watching television and playing computer games.
What could you infer from the sentence “In a society where being thin is often seen as being beautiful, teenagers sometimes turn to extreme methods to slim down quickly.” from line 20 to 22 on page 45 Could you give an example to support your opinion
Our society is to blame for negatively [‘neɡ t vl ] influencing [’ nfl ns ] teenagers’ outlook(观点;见解;世界观;人生观 )on the world, life and values, whatever their gender (性别)[ d end (r)] is. Teenagers also lack necessary guidance to help them solve weight problems appropriately [ pr pri tli](适当地).
For instance, slim stars often appear in advertisements, leaving an impression on teenagers that the universally [ ju:n v :s li](普遍地;全体地;人人) acknowledged beauty standard is to be thin.
Who are interviewed in this news report Why are many people interviewed for a news report Why does the news report include figures from line 23 to 25 on Page 45
Jennifer’s classmates, including her friend Laura Williams, and an expert are interviewed. People who know Jennifer well provide exact information about her,
while the expert offers authoritative [ θ r t t v](权威性的)medical instructions----these all are reliable sources(信息来源;原始资料) for this news report. In journalism(新闻工作), sources from different people, publications(出版物), records or documents will be cited (引用;引述;援引) to prove that the news report is convincing [k n v ns ] and dependable.
What is the intention(意图;目的) of this news report
This news report conveys[表达,传递(思想、感情等)] [k n veiz] a message to readers, in particular teenagers and their parents that teenagers should not have unhealthy weight-loss habits.
△And taking the advice given in the news report by the expert is the safest and most effective way to get into shape. Therefore, we can learn that this news report provides not only facts but also attitudes and opinions.
The “inverted pyramid”(倒金字塔) is a structure to illustrate [ l stre t] [(用示例、图画等)说明,解释] how information should be organized and arranged in a text (e.g., a news report). Could you fill the following inverted pyramid diagram with different parts based on their definitions ['def n nz].
◆ The lead is an introductory(序言的;引导的;介绍的) [ ntr d kt ri] paragraph and provides essential [ sen l] information (key message including who, what, when, where, why and how)
◆ The body contains additional information that helps readers understand detailed information such as background and supporting information.
◆ The tail focuses on the least important information that is interesting or nice for readers to have.
Lead
Body
Tail
Why is a news report written in the “inverted pyramid” structure
In this way, the most important information about a news report can be conveyed in the initial [ n l] (第一的)sentences. Usually you have only a few seconds to catch the attention of your readers or they could navigate [ n v ɡe t] away to read something else.
How should we read a news report since it has the “inverted pyramid” structure
We can first focus on the headline and the lead to grasp the key information, and later move on to [开始做(别的事);换话题] the body and tail for more details.
B. Building your language P47
B1. After Jennifer returned home from hospital, she wrote a diary entry about her plete the diary entry with the correct forms of the words and phrases in the box below.
energetic concentrate diet
get into shape immediately side effect prove make a full recovery
30 October
Dear Diary,
I was very frightened when I woke up in hospital last Thursday. Then my mum told me what happened. She said I fainted in my PE class because of low blood sugar levels. Fortunately, I was rushed to hospital (1)_____________.
immediately
The doctor helped me and I (2)___________________ within two days. My experience (3)_________________ what a bad idea it is to try to lose weight by skipping meals. Now I know this extreme weight-loss method has serious (4)__________. I also understand that being healthy and (5)_________ is more important than being slim.
made a full recovery
proves/has proved
side effects
energetic
From now on, I’ll pay more attention to my health rather than my weight. I’ll eat a balanced (6)____ to make sure I have enough nutrition. △ Exercising regularly is also an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. My doctor tells me that it’ll help me (7)___________ better in class.
diet
concentrate
So, I’ll play sport with my friends every other day after school. I hope these lifestyle changes can help me (8)_____________.
get into shape
B2. “Weight” appears in the news report as part of different collocations [k l 'ke nz] [(词语的)搭配]. Read the examples below and add more collocations.
If you have a weight problem like Jennifer Jones, will you skip meals Why or why not
If I gain much weight, I will have a healthy diet and exercise regularly instead of skipping meals, because skipping meals may make me suffer from dangerously low blood sugar levels, just like Jennifer.
What can we learn from Jennifer’s case
I learnt that a healthy body and self-acceptance matter more than others’ opinions about me. △ Living up to[达到,符合,不辜负(他人的期望)] others’ expectations sometimes motivates [ m utiveits] me to improve myself, however I could lose my individuality(个性).
So instead of focusing on my outward appearance, I should live a healthy lifestyle and try to make myself a person of value.
Do you think there are “quick-fix methods” as mentioned in line 29 on page 45 Why or why not
No, I don't think so. Just as the proverb goes----more haste [he st] (急速;匆忙;仓促), less speed(欲速则不达). There is no magic formula [ f mj l ](神奇方法) for every problem. Therefore, instead of believing in the assumed(假定的;假设的) “quick-fix methods”, we should form a long-term healthy lifestyle.
Besides, we must also try to break away from unhealthy habits because their negative impact will accumulate [ kju mj le t][积累;积聚(数量)逐渐增加;(数额)逐渐增长] as time passes by.
What do you think of the trend of exercising for fitness today
I welcome this trend, and so do my parents. My mum also goes to the gym every other night not only to keep fit but also to socialize [(和他人)交往,交际][ s la z] with other members in the gym. However, there is some bad news that people may get hurt from over-exercising. In my opinion, we must not go to extremes(走极端) and we should do exercise moderately [ m d r tli](适度;适量).
B3. Read the lead of the news report, think of a recent event and write your own lead.
Learn this: An effective lead tells the reader the most important information about an event, like who, what, when, where and why. Remember to use as few words as possible in a lead.
An official from the World Health Organization will visit schools in Shanghai next week to talk about healthy living.(共32张PPT)

Discussion
How do you understand the title of this unit Does “looking good mean “feeling good”
In my opinion, on the one hand looking good does not necessarily (不一定;未必)mean feeling good. Our satisfaction can come from many aspects other than appearance;
for example, when you help people in need, you will feel great(心情愉快的) even if your clothes are dirty. However, on the other hand when you look good, you will attract more attention and naturally have more confidence, making you feel good as well. In this sense, looking good has something to do with feeling good.
