课文呈现
Developing ideas
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1
1 Which natural heritage site is introduced in the video
2 What kind of threat is it facing
Look at the title of the passage and the pictures . Predict what the passage is about.
2
Now read the passage and check your prediction.
1 How would you like to spend six months living on an island and looking after the Great Barrier Reef The working hours are flexible and accommodation is provided. Key duties include exploring the islands of the reef and finding out what the area has to offer.
You′ll need to report back via weekly blogs,photo diaries and video updates. You′ll also be asked to promote the islands through newspapers,magazines and TV interviews.
2 ______________________________________________ It was actually a very clever means to highlight the importance of the Great Barrier Reef and the need to protect it.
3 ______________________________________________ About the size of Japan, it even can be seen from outer space. More than 25 million years old,the Great Barrier Reef is made up of living coral growing on dead coral. It is host to many species of birds and sea creatures. But this unique and delicate place is now under threat from pollution and climate change.
4 To get this job,the candidates had to make a short video showing how much they knew about the reef. They also needed to prove why they were the best person to do the job. Out of the thousands of applicants,eleven were selected,including a young woman from China. Eventually,the job was offered to Ben Southall from the UK.
5 _____________________________________________ In addition to blogging, taking photos and writing articles about the reef,he made a number of appearances on television to argue in favour of its defence. He also worked as a presenter for the National Geographic Channel,before going on to write a book about his experiences.
Ben later joked that the job should have been advertised not as the “best”,but the “busiest job in the world”!
6 _____________________________________________ The most important thing was that people all over the world became aware of the beauty of the ocean in the area.
What′s more, they came to understand the delicate balance that the environment exists in and what can,and must,be done to protect the reef. That way,it will remain a safe habitat for wildlife,as well as a dream destination for the millions of tourists who visit it each year.
Choose the appropriate sentences and write them on the lines to complete the passage.
3
a Located off the coast of North-east Australia,the Great Barrier Reef is the largest living thing on the planet.
b Whether it was a genuine job offer or an eye-catching marketing event isn′t really important.
c This call for an island caretaker attracted interest from all over the world.
d Ben did a lot during his time as an island caretaker.
Answer key to Activity 3:2.c 3.a 5.d 6.b
■ Learning to learn
Good transitions highlight the ideas that connect different paragraphs and bring the text together as a whole. Transitions can help readers understand how paragraphs work together,how they relate to one another, and how they build to a larger point.
Think Share
1 What are the requirements of the job
2 Why is the position described as “the best job in the world” Do you agree with this description why
3 Can you think of some other creative ways of raising awareness of protecting the reef
4 How is the theme of nurturing nature presented differently in the two reading passages of this unit

1 How long will the job last
2 What are the responsibilities of the job
3 What benefits does it offer
Read what the three people say about their jobs. Choose one of the jobs and complete the notes. Do research if necessary.
6
I′m lucky enough to call myself the “Guardian
of the Pine Tree”! I work on Mount Huangshan
in Anhui Province,which is home to the famous Welcoming-Guest Pine.
I make sure that nothing harms the tree. I check it several times a day and take notes recording my observations. I occasionally feel lonely,but overall,it′s a hugely rewarding job.
My name′s Li Wei,but I′m also known as the
“ Panda Nanny of Wolong”. As you can probably guess,I take care of the pandas living in Sichuan′s Wolong National Nature Reserve. As well as looking after these incredible animals,I talk to visitors and post updates on social media. I hope that one day,more people can join me in taking care of the pandas.
When people ask me what I do,I tell them that
I′m a “spiderman”. For me,a day at work involves climbing up and down the cliffs of Mount Yuntai′s Red Stone Gorge. With a rope tied around my waist,l clear rubbish left by tourists. The job isn′t without its risks,but I enjoy it. I′m very proud that I can help conserve the environment.
Now write a job advertisement. Do further research if necessary.
Work in pairs. Make improvements to each other′s job advertisements and share them with the class.
