T: Welcome back to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )school, everyone. I guess most of you have enjoyed your holiday. Maybe I should say everyone has enjoyed a scientific life. Why Because you have enjoyed the results of the science and scientists. Now can you tell me the scientists who invented the lights, the gramophone and the computer
S1: Edison invented the lights and the gramophone.
S2: The first comput ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er was invented by a group of American scientists.
StepⅡ Warming up
First, ask some q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uestions about great scientists. Second, ask all the students to try the quiz and find out who knows the most.
T: You know our li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe is closely related to science and scientists. We benefit a lot from them. Can you name out as many scientists as possible
S1: Newton.
S2: Watt.
S3: Franklin.
Sample answers:
1. Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-212 BC), a mathematician.
2. Charles Darwin, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Britain (1808-1882). The name of the book is Origin of Species.

7. Leonardo da Vinci, Italian, an artist.
8. Sir Humphry Davy, British, an inventor and chemist.
9. Zhang Heng, ancient China, an inventor.
10. Stepper Hawking, British, a physicist.
Step Ⅲ Pre-reading
Get the studen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts to discuss the questions on page 1 with their partners. Then ask the students to report their work. Encourage the students to express their different opinions.
T: Now, class ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), please look at the slide. Discuss these questions with your partners. Then I’ll ask some students to report their work.
Show the following on the screen.
What do you know about infectious diseases
What do you know about cholera
Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research
What order would you put the seven in Just guess.
Sample answer 1:
S1: Let me try. Infec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tious diseases can be spread easily. They have an unknown cause and may do great harm to people.
S2: People could be ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )posed to infectious diseases, so may animals, such as bird flu.
S3: AIDS, SARS are infectious diseases.
S4: Infectious diseases are difficult to cure.
Sample answer 2:
S1: Cholera is caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera.
S2: It infects people’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s intestines, causing diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps.
S3: The most c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ommon cause of cholera is people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated by the bacteria.
S4: Cholera can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be mild or even without symptoms, but a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment.
Sample answer 3:
S1: I know sth. about ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) it. First we should find the problem. Then, think of a solution.
S2: We should collect as much information as possible.
S3: Analyzing results is the most important stage.
S4: Before we make ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a conclusion, it is necessary for us to repeat some stages or processes.
Sample answer 4:
S1: I think “Find a problem” should be the first stage.
S2: “Make up a question” should follow the first stage.
S3: “Think of a m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ethod”, “Collect results” and “Analyze results” are after that.
S4: Of course, b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efore “Make a conclusion”, we should “Repeat if necessary”.
T: Well done! When ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )we want to solve some problems, first we should find out the problem, do some research on it, prove your findings, and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. Now let’s see how doctor John Snow did his research.
Step Ⅳ Reading
Let the students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )skim the whole passage and try to work out the meanings of the new words and structures using context.
T: The effect of c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )holera in the nineteenth century London was devastating. Many people died without knowing the reason. It was doctor John Snow who saved the people. Please look at the screen. Let’s read the whole passage and find answers to the questions.
Show the questions on the screen.
1. What conditions allowed cholera develop
2. Why do you think ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) people believed that cholera multiplied in the air without reason
3. What evid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ence did John Snow gather to convince people that idea 2 was right
Sample answers:
S1: The dirty water made the cholera develop quickly.
S2: Because peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e could not understand its cause and could not get it cured. So people imagined that some poisonous gas in the air caused the deaths.
S3: He found ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that many of the deaths were near the water pump while some areas far away from the water pump had no deaths. So when people were asked not to use the water pump, the disease began to slow down. In this way, John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.
Step Ⅴ Text analyzing
Ask the students to analyze the text in groups.
T: Please look at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the chart on the screen. The chart shows that each paragraph of the text explains John Snow’s stages in his research. Please read the text and find out the general idea of each paragraph and match the stage with each paragraph. Discuss it in groups, and then report your answers.
Paragraphs Stages General ideas

Sample answers:
S1: My group’s o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pinion is this: stage one “Find a problem” is expressed in paragraph one. The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to find the causes of cholera.
S2: Our answer is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) like this: paragraph two expresses the second stage “Make up a question”. The general idea is like this: John Snow wanted to prove which theory was correct.
S3: “Think of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a method” is the third stage. And it is contained in paragraph three. The general idea is like this: John Snow collected data on those who were ill or died and where they got their water.
S4: The fourth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stage “Collect results” lies in paragraph four. Its general idea is like this: John Snow plotted information on a map to find out where people died or did not die.
S5: Our group believe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )paragraph five contains the fifth stage of John Snow’s research. The general idea is like this: John Snow analysed the water to see if that was the cause of the illness. So this stage is to “Analyse the results”.
S6: The sixth stag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e is “Repeat if necessary”. It is contained in the sixth paragraph. The general idea is like this: John Snow tried to find other evidences to confirm his conclusion.
S7: The last ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) paragraph is about the seventh stage “Make a conclusion”. Its general idea is like this: The polluted dirty source of drinking water was to blame for the cause of the London cholera.
Ask some students to put their answers in the chart.
Paragraph Stages General ideas
1 Find a problem The causes of cholera
2 Make up a question The correct or possible theory
3 Think of a method Collect data ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on where people were ill and died and where they got their water
4 Collect results Plot information o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n a map to find out where people died or did not die
5 Analyse the results Analyse the water to see if that is the cause of the illness
6 Repeat if necessary Find other evidences to confirm his conclusion
7 Make a conclusion The polluted dirty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )source of drinking water was to blame for the cause of the London cholera
T: Now class. Can you tell me what style of the passage belongs to
S1: I think it is a report.
T: Here are three pi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eces of writing. They belong to different writing styles. Now read and find out what style each piece belongs to.
Show the chart and three pieces of writing on the screen.
Report Description Creative writing
Formal language with few adjectives Vivid use of words with similes and metaphors Vivid use of language and more informal style
No speech except quotations No speech except to help the description Speech to show feelings, reactions etc.
Not emotional Emotional to describe atmosphere Emotional to describe feelings
Only one main character No characters May have several characters
Factual Not factual but imaginative Imaginative but can be based on fact
Structural according to experimental method Not structured Beginning, middle, end
Past tense and passive voice Past tense Past tense
Making Way
Once Goethe(歌德), t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he great German poet,was walking in a park. He was thinking about something when he noticed he came to a very, very narrow road. Just at that time, a young man came towards him from the other end of the road. It was too narrow for both of them to pass through at the same time. They stopped and looked at each other for a while. Then the young man said rudely,“I never make way for a fool.” But Goethe smiled and said, “I always do.” Then he turned back quickly and walked towards the end of the road.
Weather Report
Here’s the weather re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )port for the next 24 hours. Beijing will be fine with the temperature from 4 to 13. Tokyo will be fine too and cloudy later in the day. The lowest temperature is l to 8. London will be rainy and windy later in the day. The highest temperature is 8 and the lowest is 4. New York will be sunny and cloudy later in the day. The temperature is 13 to 19.
Heartbeating
Put your hand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to the left side of your chest. Try to feel your heartbeating. The heart takes a little rest after each pump or beat. In boys or girls of your age, heart beats about 90 times a minute. A grown-up’s heart beats about 70 or 80 times a minute. But the heartbeat is different in the same person at different times. For example, the heart beats faster during exercise. It is also faster when a person is angry, scared, or excited. During sleep, the heartbeat slows down.
Sample answers:
S1: I think the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst piece “Making A Way” is in a style of creative writing. The second piece belongs to a description style. The third piece belongs to a report style.
T: Very good. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Now let’s return to our text. Who can tell me the main idea of this passage
S2: I can. Clearly it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tells us how John Snow defeated the disease cholera by doing scientific research.

八、教学过程
Step I Revision
Ask the students to retell the text.
Sample versions:
S1: I’ll have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a try. John Snow was a very famous doctor in London in 19th century. At the time he lived, cholera was the most frightening disease, which killed many thousands of people in the industrial cities of England. Nobody knew the cause of the disease. John Snow believed that cholera was caused by drinking polluted water. He believed that when dirty water from the toilet and drinking water were mixed, it was possible for the illness to be passed from one person to the next. In 1854, he was able to prove that his theory was correct. To do this he approached the problem in a systematic way. He found an outbreak of cholera and studied its effects on a small neighborhood. He gathered information about the drinking habits of the people and used them to justify his theory. He is important because he was the first person to gather information scientifically about a disease in order to find its cause.
S2: OK. I’d like t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o retell Snow’s work in the order of the stages. We know there were seven stages in his research. First Snow, as well as other doctors could not find the cause of the cholera, nor the cure for it. He got interested in two theories. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air without reason. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. He believed in the second theory. So he collected much information to prove it. He did a lot of research and experiments to analyze the results. All the results were the same: It is certain that the dirty water resulted in the disease. At last he could make a conclusion: It was the polluted water that caused the illness.
StepⅡ Pre-reading
Ask the students to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )look at the pictures on pages 7 and 45. And remind them of the common knowledge of “Sun-Centered Theory” and “the Euler path”.
T: Today we are g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oing to learn more about science and scientists. There are two pictures of the great scientists and the illustrations of their theory. You can discuss with your partners about them. Then tell me sth. about them.
S1: We know the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst picture is Copernicus. He was one of the first scientists to use mathematical observations to collect information. He believed the sun is the center of the universe and the earth and other planets went around it. The illustration shows his theory.
S2: We guess t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he second picture is Lenohard Euler. Euler invented a new branch of mathematics —topology by luck. The chart is about the “Seven Bridges of Konigsberg” and the famous “Euler path”.
Step Ⅲ Reading
Encourage the students to get the general ideas of the passages.
T: In the last p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eriod, we have learned about how Doctor John Snow used seven stages to prove his conclusion and fulfilled his research. This period we will also deal with two scientific reports. Please read the two passages quickly and try to answer the questions on the screen.
Show the questions on the screen.
1. What’s Copernicus’ fear
2. What’s Euler’s puzzle
3. How did Copernicus prove his theory
4. How did Euler prepare for his research
5. What are their theories
Sample answers:
S1: I have the ans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wer. Copernicus found his theory was against the Christian church’s saying. If he spoke out his finding, he would be punished severely.
S2: I know Euler’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) puzzle. He found that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself, but he couldn’t cross all seven.
S3: Let me answer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the third question. Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems which astronomers had noticed and tried to find an answer. He used all his mathematical calculations to work on these problems. He had collected observations of the stars for over ten years. All his calculations and observations proved that his theory was right.
S4: I would like t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o say something about Euler’s research. The first stage in his research is to find the problem that he could cross six of the bridges without going over any of them twice or going back on himself, but he couldn’t cross all seven. The second stage is to think of a method: He drew a map and used dots and lines to simplify his analysis. Trying and observing over and over again, he found a general rule.
S5: Copernicus’ t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )heory can be expressed in this way: The sun is the center of the universe. All planets went around the sun in solar system.
S6: I know t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he answer. I am interested in topology. Euler’s theory is called “The Euler path”. It is expressed like this: If a figure has more than two odd points, you cannot go over it without lifting your pencil from the page or going over a line twice.
Step Ⅳ Further-reading
This time the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) students are encouraged to read the two passages carefully and then do the exercises and problems on pages 7 and 46.
T: Now class. Pl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ease read the two passages again. And discuss the questions on the screen in groups.
Show the questions on the screen.
1. As a scientist ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), one should be brave. But Copernicus was afraid of being attacked by the Christian Church. So he had hidden his theory for so many years. What do you think of this
2. Euler was calle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d “the father of modern mathematics”. In what area is topology used today
Sample answers:
S1: I think Coper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nicus was very coward. He should speak out his discovery and let the world know the truth earlier.
S2: I don’t agree w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith you. He was more cautious than coward. If he had published his ideas, he would have been killed just as Bruno who was burnt to death because his theory was against the Christian Church’s.
S3: I support yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u. Every time when a new idea appears, there are always rejections. It’s normal. Scientists should have patience to spread their truth.
S4: I don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )think so. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs.
S5: I agree. As a sc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ientist, you must have the courage to publish your findings. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.
S6: But I suppos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e that Copernicus’ attitude towards his new theory was proper at that time. It made no sense for him to publish his theory in a hurry. He was just cautious not coward. He should protect himself first.
S7: The subway or underground railway.
S8: When we stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y computer lessons, we often hear of the computer topology maps.
S9: Maybe telephone nets and electricity nets can adopt topology.
T: I quite a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gree with you. And I am glad you have known so much about the science.
StepⅤ Practice
For Exercises 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and 2 on page 7 and the problems on page 46, encourage the students to fulfill them quickly and correctly. And check the answers together. And then write the following sentences on the blackboard; ask the students to pay attention to the past participle. Guide them to find out their functions in the sentences.
Show the following on the screen.
1. Nicolas Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused.
2. He placed a fixed sun at the center of the solar system ...
3. He joined these points together using curved lines ...
T: Please read ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the three sentences and tell me what parts of speech the past participles are acting as.
A sample answer:
In the first sent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ence, “frightened” and “confused” are acting as predicative. In the second and the third sentence, “fixed” and “curved” are used as attributes.
Step Ⅵ Homework
1. Search on the Int ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ernet for more information about Copernicus and Euler.
2. Prepare for t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he language study, reviewing the words and expressions in this unit.

Sample answers:
make an appoi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntment, make gossip, make an apology, make a contest, make a choice, unexpected visitors, discouraged students, inspired contestant, crowded streets
Step Ⅲ Grammar
Explain the usage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the past participles as predicative and attribute.
1. 过去分词作表语表示主语 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )所处的状态。用作表语的过去分词大多来自及物动词;不及物动词的过去分词能作表语的只限于少数表示位置转移的动词,如go, come, assemble等,它们用在连系动词之后,表示完成意义,无被动意义。例如:
The man looked quite disappointed.
He is greatly discouraged by her refusal.
His hair is nearly all gone.
已经形容词化了的过去分词大多可作表语, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )常见的有accomplished, amazed, amused, astonished, broken, closed, completed, complicated, confused, crowded, devoted, disappointed, discouraged, drunk, excited, frightened, hurt, interested, lost, satisfied, surprised, worried等。
2. 过去分词作定语
a)用作前置定语的过去分词通常来自及物动词,带有被动意义和完成意义。例如:
We like skating in the frozen lake in the winter.
=We like skating in the lake which has been frozen in the winter.
How many finished products have you got up to now
=How many products that have been finished have you got up to now
来自不及物动词的过去分词很少能单独用作前置定语,能作这样用的仅限以下几个词,这时仅表示完成意义,不表示被动意义。例如:
a retired worker=a worker who has retired
an escaped prisoner=a prisoner who has escaped
a faded / withered flower=a flower that has faded / withered
fallen leaves=leaves that have fallen
the risen sun=the sun that has just risen
a returned student=a student who has returned
vanished treasure=treasure that has vanished
b) 用作后置定语的过去分词通常也来自及物动词,表示被动意义和完成意义。这时过去分词相当于一个定语从句。例如:
Things seen are better than things heard.
=Things which are seen are better than things which are heard.
The lobster broiled over charcoal was delicious.
=The lobster which was broiled over charcoal was delicious.
Practice:
将下列句子译成英语。
1. 他看上去又累又沮丧.
2. 我们一得到补充资金,就继续我们的实验。
3. 我们可以看到被阳光照亮的月球的一部分.
4. 经过一个激动和无眠的夜晚之后,第二天我强迫自己在海滨走了很久.
5. 早在1649年,俄亥俄州就决定在每一个城镇建立免费的、由税收支持的学校。
6. 彼得对这一切似乎很惊奇。
Sample answers:
1. He looked tired and depressed.
2. We will go on with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) our experiment as soon as we get the added fund.
3. We can se ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e the part of the moon lighted by sunlight. 4. After a night spent in excitement and sleepless-ness, I forced myself to take a long walk along the beach the next day.

S1: Really I only know about some of his inventions.
S2: At age 11 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Tom’s parents tried to teach him how to use the resources of the local library. This led him to prefer learning through independent self instruction. By age 12, Tom had already become an “adult”. He not only talked his parents into letting him go to work selling newspapers, snacks, and candy on the railroad, he had started an entirely separate business selling fruits and vegetables.
S1: What else do you know
S2: One of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )most significant events in Tom’s life now occurred when — as a reward for his heroism — the boy’s grateful father taught him how to master the use of Morse code and the telegraph. Over the next years, Edison’s progress in creating successful inventions for industry really took off.

Claude Bernard’s1 Ambition2
French physiologist3 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Claude Bernard (1813-18 78) dropped out of school4 because it was his ambition to become a great writer. At the age of twenty-one, he wrote a five-act tragedy5 called Arthur of Brittany and brought it to a well-known Parisian critic6. The critic read the play and strongly advised young Claude to return to school at once and forget all about writing. Claude did and became one of the greatest biologists7 in history, virtually8 founding “experimental physiology”. When he died in 1878, he was given a state funeral, the first scientist upon whom France had bestowed9 this honor.

Task 2: Remind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the students of the writing techniques and writing features of a report.
Show the following to the students.
ReportFormal language with few adjectivesNo speech except quotationsNot emotional Only one main characterFactual structured according to experimental methodPast tense and passive voice
Task 3: Summarize the way of persuasive writing.
T: You know if ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) we want to persuade sb, we always want to reason with him or her. We must develop our own ideas and provide some evidence to support our ideas so there are always three steps to persuade somebody else to change his or her point of view. Can you point out what the three steps are
S1: I think the first is to give your opinion and idea.
S2: The second is to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )give the reasons and evidence to support your idea.
S3: The third is to make a conclusion.
Show the following to the students.
A persuasive writingFormal or informal, vivid use of languageSpeech to show feelings, reactions, etcEmotional or not emotional to describe feelings and factsOnly two main charactersFactual or imaginative based on factReason and persuade step by step Present tense
Then ask the students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to write a short letter as required in Exercise 3.
A sample version:
Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,
I am a student stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ying history and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons. I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centreof the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need new theory.
I know your o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bservations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show if your ideas are right or wrong.
So I hope you can publish your new theory.
