Forth periodProject: Writing a science fiction story Science fiction is a type of writing based on fantasy. Science fiction writers often write about what will happen in 'tomorrow’s world'. Have you ever read any science fiction stories Among the most famou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s science fiction writers are Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Read the following summaries of two of their novels to help you prepare your own science fiction. Journey to the Centre of the Earthby Jules VerneIn 1863, Prof ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book he had recently bought. The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland. Immediately, he got his things packed and went to Iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him. In Iceland, the Professor hired a guide named Hans. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave. After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside. On the shores of this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms. High above, the sky was filled with gas that gave light like the sun. The three men b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uilt a small boat and set sail. All of a sudden, two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other. The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away. They sailed to shore and explored the forest. They came across huge insects and many strange creatures. As they were wandering around, they noticed a man sitting against a tree in the distance-he was at least four metres tall. The men became afraid, and ran back to the boat. They set sai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l again, and saw what looked like an exit, but it was blocked by rocks which had fallen down from the ceiling. They made a bomb to blow up the rocks. After the bomb exploded, their boat rushed wildly forward into a large hole. The boat floated down with the water. It was too fast for them to escape. They could only hold on to the boat in terror. Finally they reached t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight. They now found themselves in a volcano in Italy-their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin. The Time Machine by H. G. WellsHere is my Time Machine. This is where you sit, and with these two white handles, you can travel into the future or the past. I finished the m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )achine just last week, and decided to use it to see the future. As I pulled one handle, the world around me became foggy. Days and nights zipped by and everything changed before my eyes. Buildings and cities appeared and disappeared in a flash. Finally, I heard a loud thunder, and everything stopped. There was a city in front of me that appeared very old and worn.I was now in the year AD 802,701, and mankind had evolved into two races, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were small and like children. They lived above the ground and spent all of their time at play. Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks looked like white beasts. They lived underground, where they kept machines running so that the Eloi would be happy and well fed. At first, I thought ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that the Eloi had forced the Morlocks to do all of the work so that the Eloi could play. However, later I came to see that I had the wrong impression: the Morlocks were the real masters. They took care of the Eloi because they lived by killing and eating them. The Morlocks even tried to catch and kill me, but luckily I was able to use the Time Machine to escape. I then travelled 30 million years into the future. I was now on a beach with an ocean in front of me, but there was neither wind nor waves, and there seemed to be little life. I went still further into the future, and the sun grew larger, redder and darker, and the Earth became cold and covered in frost. Everything was still—there was no life or movement at all. As the world turned to complete darkness, I pulled the other handle, and found myself back in my house in the present day. Only three hours had passed.Step 1: Read and learn ◆ Listen to the text and grasp the general spirit of the text Language focus: ◆ 将来时的表达式知识探究：If you work hard， you'll succeed. 如果努力，你就会成功。 I'm afraid it is going to snow.恐怕天要下雨了。 You'll have to p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay more if you are to have another drink.要想再喝一杯你得多付钱。 I'm just finishing my work.我马上就完成工作了。 He was just about to leave when the phone rang. 他正要走，这时电话响了。 The train leaves at 8: 30.火车8点半开。归纳整理：1) will / shall do表示纯粹的将来或临时做出的决定，也可表示一种必然趋势。 2) be going to指打算准备做的事或根据判断肯定要发生的事。 3) be to do则不能表示不受人们意志控制的将来动作。 4) be doing指按计划安排最近要做的事，常常带时间状语，多用于go， come， leave， start， arrive， stay， meet， get， set等短暂性动词。 5) be about to do单纯表示即将发生的动作，常与when 连用，意为"这时"，但不与时间状语连用。 6)一般现在时表将来.表示早已计划好，到时一定发生的事，也可表示按时间进程或时间表的安排，到时一定要发生的事。题练落实：D) 1. ---When shall we restart our business ---Not until we _______ our plan. A. will finish ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. are finishing C. are to finish D. have finishedC) 2.

How to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet. The idea of sustai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nable development has been accepted by the world. How to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet. The present situation is worrying. First, natural resources are becoming less than before. Second, as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection, the problems with it remain extremely serious to some degree. The gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider. To our great joy, many countries have taken action. On one hand, they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection. On the other hand, popularized educational as well as international cooperation is being carried out. As for myse ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lf, I should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development, or our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.

winning goal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in a Wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rld Cup final. This encouraged him to become more confident around others. An argument has been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )put forward that some users will be disappointed by RealCine because VR is not real. However, with VR we are able to do things that could never be achieved in real life. For example, with the aid of RealCine, a seventy-year-old grandfather recently took a trip to Africa. In reality, he is disabled and can no longer walk, but he was able to see and touch a lion while still in the convenience of the VR studio. Besides this, VR can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )be used to practise skills in a secure environment that otherwise would be quite dangerous. For example, firefighters could use RealCine to train safely, without the risk of getting injured in a burning building. It could be used in class as well. Teachers could bring history alive by placing students in an ancient town, or they could teach biology by allowing students to experience the world as a whale or a squirrel. Finally, RealCine provides fantastic technology for urban planning. Engineers can enter the design of a neighbourhood into a computer, and then use VR to 'walk' around the neighbourhood, see how it looks and make changes before construction is carried out. This kind of urban planning is in the long term cheaper and more practical, compared with the way most urban planning is done today. I recommend the government use this technology in the future planning of this city. 7. risk

Reading strategies: A business proposal is an introduction of a new product or business idea. As a presentation is to be given to those making decisions, it has to be clear and appealing. A good presentation usually includes specific information and convincing facts or examples, such as ‘firefighters could use RealCine to train safely, without the risk of getting injured in a burning building’. In order to make the presentation objective, words such as “I” and “we” are usually avoided. Instead, the passive voice is preferred, for example, ‘this is an extraordinary technology that deserves to be developed further’.

Project: Writing a science fiction story
Science fiction is a t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ype of writing based on fantasy. Science fiction writers often write about what will happen in 'tomorrow’s world'. Have you ever read any science fiction stories
Among the mos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t famous science fiction writers are Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. Read the following summaries of two of their novels to help you prepare your own science fiction.
Journey to the Centre of the Earth
by Jules Verne
In 1863, Prof ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )essor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book he had recently bought. The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland. Immediately, he got his things packed and went to Iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him.
In Iceland, the Pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ofessor hired a guide named Hans. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave. After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside. On the shores of this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms. High above, the sky was filled with gas that gave light like the sun.
The three men built ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a small boat and set sail. All of a sudden, two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other. The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosaurs before they were able to get away.
They sailed to sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ore and explored the forest. They came across huge insects and many strange creatures. As they were wandering around, they noticed a man sitting against a tree in the distance-he was at least four metres tall. The men became afraid, and ran back to the boat.
They set sail aga ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in, and saw what looked like an exit, but it was blocked by rocks which had fallen down from the ceiling. They made a bomb to blow up the rocks. After the bomb exploded, their boat rushed wildly forward into a large hole. The boat floated down with the water. It was too fast for them to escape. They could only hold on to the boat in terror.
Finally they r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eached the bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight. They now found themselves in a volcano in Italy-their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin.
The Time Machine
by H. G. Wells
Here is my Time ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Machine. This is where you sit, and with these two white handles, you can travel into the future or the past.
I finished the mac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hine just last week, and decided to use it to see the future. As I pulled one handle, the world around me became foggy. Days and nights zipped by and everything changed before my eyes. Buildings and cities appeared and disappeared in a flash. Finally, I heard a loud thunder, and everything stopped. There was a city in front of me that appeared very old and worn.
I was now in the y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear AD 802,701, and mankind had evolved into two races, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were small and like children. They lived above the ground and spent all of their time at play. Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks looked like white beasts. They lived underground, where they kept machines running so that the Eloi would be happy and well fed.
At first, I thoug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ht that the Eloi had forced the Morlocks to do all of the work so that the Eloi could play. However, later I came to see that I had the wrong impression: the Morlocks were the real masters. They took care of the Eloi because they lived by killing and eating them. The Morlocks even tried to catch and kill me, but luckily I was able to use the Time Machine to escape.
I then travelled 30 million years into the future. I was now on a beach with an ocean in front of me, but there was neither wind nor waves, and there seemed to be little life. I went still further into the future, and the sun grew larger, redder and darker, and the Earth became cold and covered in frost. Everything was still—there was no life or movement at all.
As the world turne ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to complete darkness, I pulled the other handle, and found myself back in my house in the present day. Only three hours had passed.

He met her at a par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty. She was so outstanding, with many boys around her, while he was so normal, with nobody paying attention to him.
At the end of the par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ty, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she agreed.
They sat in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, and she felt uncomfortable, thinking, “Please let me go home.”
Suddenly he asked the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )waiter, “Would you please give me some salt I’d like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him----so strange! His face turned red, but, still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby ”
He replied, “Wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en I was a little boy, I was living near the sea. I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood. I miss my hometown so much. I miss my parents who are still living there.”
While saying that te ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ars filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That’s his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, and has responsibility of home.
Then she also st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )arted to speak, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story.
They continue ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he was kind-hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married the prince, then they were living a happy life …And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee.
About 40 years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), he passed away, leaving her a letter which said, “My dearest, please forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee.
“Remember the first t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ime we dated？I was so nervous at that time. Actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salty. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.”
“I’m tried to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was to be afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.”
“Now I’m dying, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I’m afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don’t like the salty coffee. What a stranger bad taste! But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!
“Since I know you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for a second time, I still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again.”

A few days ago I a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sked my son’s governess (女家庭教师) Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia,” I said, “Let’s settle our accounts, I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agree on thirty dollars a month …”
“Forty.”
“No, thirt ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so …”
“Two months and five days.”
“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays … you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks And three holidays …” Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but not a word.
“Three holidays, th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch, Twelve and seven-nineteen. Take nineteen off … that leaves. Hmm … forty one dollars. Correct ”
Julia’s left eye ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) reddened with tears. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but still not a word.
“Around New Year’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but forget it. Then, due to your neglect, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also duo to your carelessness, the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
“You didn’t.” sobbed Julia.
“But I made a note of it.”
“Well … if you say so.”
“Take twenty seven from forty one --- that leaves fourteen.”
Her eyes were filled with tears. Poor girl!
“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
“Really” You see now ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), and I didn’t know that! Take three form fourteen --- leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is!”
I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
“Merci (法语：谢谢) ,” she whispered.
I jumped to my f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this ‘merci’ ” I asked.
“For the money.”
“But you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )know I’ve cheated you --- robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci’ ”
“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
“They didn’t giv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e you anything” No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you … I am going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope … Is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)？Why didn’t you protest Why were you silent Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws --- to be such a fool ”
Embarrassed, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) she smiled. And I could read her expression, “It is possible.”
I asked h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er pardon for the cruel lesson and gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little “merci” several times and went out. I looked after her and thought, “How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”

Not just watching a film …
RealCine—virtual reality for everyone
This presentation will give you some information about RealCine: how it works, why it is better than a film, and how it can be used in other ways. The RealCine experience will amaze you, and you will agree that this is an extraordinary technology that deserves to be developed further.
The technology behind RealCine is virtual reality (VR). Unlike a film, where a passive audience watches and hears what is happening on a screen, RealCine puts you into the action and connects with your senses of sight, hearing, smell and touch in an active way. Imagine that a VR user ‘goes’ sightseeing in the Himalayas. Not only will he or she feel every step of climbing Mount Qomolangma, but the user will also experience the cold, smells, sights and sounds of the surrounding environment; he or she will enjoy a feeling of happiness and a sense of achievement upon reaching the top.
RealCine works by making the users feel that they are really in a new world-a world that does not exist except in a computer program. To achieve this, special VR headsets are designed to allow the users to see in 3-D and hear the sound all around them. The movements of the headset indicate the direction in which the user wants to go. The user also wears special gloves so he or she can 'touch' the people and objects that he or she sees. To add to the virtual world of RealCine, the headsets even have small openings that give out smells to match the environment. Both the headsets and the gloves are connected to a computer network in the VR studio.
In scientific studies it has been shown that VR can be a good treatment for people who have social problems. In one case, a teenager who was afraid of talking and playing with his schoolmates was treated with VR. In the world created by RealCine, he became the captain of the Brazilian football team and scored the
