My past life 教材分析本模块在“过去生活”这一话题下，通过单元中的主要语言输入材料—对话、课文、世界各地等—呈现了中外学生对自己小学、童年的回忆，描述了家乡，并介绍了南非著名政治家曼德拉。
1.第一单元的对话中，来自中国的玲玲和来自英国的托尼对自己家乡、小学和小学老师做了介绍，内容虽然简单，却充满了情景的流露，这主要体现在对各自首任老师和朋友的评价上。
2.第二单元则以贝蒂的口吻讲述了她在美国的家乡昆西小镇的生活。这篇文章包含了地理、历史、社会和家庭环境等方面的内容，介绍的主要是个人生活，采取了从社会、家庭、朋友的角度对贝蒂在昆西的生活进行描述。话题：“过去的生活和经历”。
目标：
1.学生能够掌握一般过去时.
2.能够口头和书面描述过去的
生活和经历。
3.引导学生了解名人经历及过去 事件，缅怀过去，珍惜现在的美好生活。教学目标：学生能够：
1. 听懂含有动词“be”的过去式的对话。
2.运用“be”动词一般过去时态表述或询问过去的经历。
3.读懂关于过去生活的短文，归纳文章的段意，获取细节信息。
4.运用动词“be”的过去式形式，向他人介绍自己过去的生活，并写成短文。
5.增进同学间的了解，培养对家乡和生活的热爱。教学重点：
使用与过去生活相关的词汇；
通过听力和阅读，掌握一般过去时肯定句、否定句、一般疑问句及答语和特殊疑问句及答语和在语言中的准确运用。
教学难点：
掌握一般过去时的结构和用法，
学生容易混淆使用were / was/ did
动词。学情分析：
★本模块“谈论过去生活”这一话题与学生
联系比较紧密，能够引起学生的学习兴趣。
★过去时（was/were)这一语法点大多数
学生已经在小学接触过，比较利于话题讨 论。
★课文句型比较单一简单，因此对话题
的深入挖掘十分重要。

三、阅读理解 （共20分, 每小题2分）
（A）
One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
I usually wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing an act of terrorism.
My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over and over again. When I Watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. Couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.
It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy. People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant. Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious, to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted, Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.
You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.
注：crash 撞击 reaction 反应 witness 目击 tragedy 悲剧 tolerant 宽容的
precious 珍贵的 take — for granted 认为——是当然的

Yesterday Once More
When I was young I‘d listen to the radio Waiting for my favorite songs When they played I’d sing along, It made me smile. Those were such happy times and not so long ago How I wondered where they‘d gone. But they’re back again just like a long lost friend All the songs I love so well.
Every shalala every wo‘wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re starting to sing so fine
When they get to the part Where he's breaking her heart It can really make me cry just like before. It's yesterday once more. (Shoobie do lang lang)
Looking back on how it was in years gone by And the good times that I had makes today seem rather sad, So much has changed. It was songs of love that I would sing to them And I'd memorize each word. Those old melodies still sound so good to me As they melt the years away
Every shalala every wo‘wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re starting to sing so fine
All my best memories come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry just like before. It's yesterday once more.
Every shalala every wo‘wo still shines. Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they’re starting to sing so fine
What do you think of the song? Is it sad or happy?
When did she listen to the radio?
Did the girl miss the past? Did she want Yesterday come back again?
What can you learn from the song?
The past can never come back once more. So treasure the present, and don’t waste time! Choose the most important things in your life first and do it !
Mandela's life and times
Nelson Mandela is one of the world's most revered statesmen, who led the struggle to replace the apartheid regime of South Africa with a multi-racial democracy.
Jailed for 27 years, he emerged to become the country's first black president and to play a leading role in the drive for peace in other spheres of conflict. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
His charisma, self-deprecating sense of humour and lack of bitterness over his harsh treatment, as well as his amazing life story, partly explain his extraordinary global appeal.
“Start Quote
In prison, you come face to face with time. There is nothing more terrifying”
End Quote Nelson Mandela
Since stepping down as president in 1999, Mr Mandela has become South Africa's highest-profile ambassador, campaigning against HIV/Aids and helping to secure his country's right to host the 2010 football World Cup.
Mr Mandela - diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2001 - was also involved in peace negotiations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi and other countries in Africa and elsewhere.
In 2004, at the age of 85, Mr Mandela retired from public life to spend more time with his family and friends and engage in "quiet reflection".
"Don't call me, I'll call you," he warned anyone thinking of inviting him to future engagements.
The former president had made few public appearances since largely retiring from public life.
In November 2010, his office released photos of a meeting he had held with members of the US and South African football teams.
In late January 2011 he was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for a "specialised tests" with the South African presidency reminding a concerned nation that Mr Mandela has had "previous respiratory infections".
He was admitted to hospital again in February 2012 for what the president's office said was "a long-standing abdominal complaint".
Raised by royalty
He was born in 1918 into the Xhosa-speaking Thembu people in a small village in the eastern Cape of South Africa. In South Africa, he is often called by his clan name - "Madiba".
Mr Mandela set up South Africa's first black law firm with Oliver Tambo
Born Rolihlahla Dalibhunga, he was given his English name, Nelson, by a teacher at his school.
His father, a counsellor to the Thembu royal family, died when Nelson Mandela was nine, and he was placed in the care of the acting regent of the Thembu people, chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo.
He joined the African National Congress in 1944, first as an activist, then as the founder and president of the ANC Youth League.
Eventually, after years in prison, he also served as its president.
He married his first wife, Evelyn Mase, in 1944. They were divorced in 1958 after having four children.
Mr Mandela qualified as a lawyer and in 1952 opened a law practice in Johannesburg with his partner, Oliver Tambo.
Together, Mr Mandela and Mr Tambo campaigned against apartheid, the system devised by the all-white National Party which oppressed the black majority.
In 1956, Mr Mandela was charged with high treason, along with 155 other activists, but the charges against him were dropped after a four-year trial.
Resistance to apartheid grew, mainly against the new Pass Laws, which dictated where black people were allowed to live and work.
In 1958, Mr Mandela married Winnie Madikizela, who was later to take an active role in the campaign to free her husband from prison.
The ANC was outlawed in 1960 and Mr Mandela went underground.
Tension with the apartheid regime grew, and soared to new heights in 1960 when 69 black people were shot dead by police in the Sharpeville massacre.
Life sentence
This marked the end of peaceful resistance and Mr Mandela, already national vice-president of the ANC, launched a campaign of economic sabotage.
“Start Quote
Only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts”
End Quote Nelson Mandela
He was eventually arrested and charged with sabotage and attempting to violently overthrow the government.
Speaking from the dock in the Rivonia court room, Mr Mandela used the stand to convey his beliefs about democracy, freedom and equality.
"I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities," he said.
"It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
In the winter of 1964 he was sentenced to life in prison.
In the space of 12 months between 1968 and 1969, Mr Mandela's mother died and his eldest son was killed in a car crash but he was not allowed to attend the funerals.
Huge crowds greeted Nelson Mandela's release
He remained in prison on Robben Island for 18 years before being transferred to Pollsmoor Prison on the mainland in 1982.
As Mr Mandela and other ANC leaders languished in prison or lived in exile, the youths of South Africa's black townships did their best to fight white minority rule.
Hundreds were killed and thousands were injured before the schoolchildren's uprising was crushed.
In 1980, Mr Tambo, who was in exile, launched an international campaign to release Mr Mandela.
The world community tightened the sanctions first imposed on South Africa in 1967 against the apartheid regime.
The pressure produced results, and in 1990, President FW de Klerk lifted the ban on the ANC, and Mr Mandela was released from prison and talks on forming a new multi-racial democracy for South Africa began.
Slum townships
In 1992 Mr Mandela separated from his wife, Winnie, on the grounds of her adultery. She had also been convicted on charges of kidnapping and accessory to assault.
In December 1993, Mr Mandela and Mr de Klerk were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Five months later, for the first time in South Africa's history, all races voted in democratic elections and Mr Mandela was overwhelmingly elected president.
Mr Mandela's greatest problem as president was the housing shortage for the poor, and slum townships continued to blight major cities.
He married Graca Machel on his 80th birthday
He entrusted his deputy, Thabo Mbeki, with the day-to-day business of the government, while he concentrated on the ceremonial duties of a leader, building a new international image of South Africa.
In that context, he succeeded in persuading the country's multinational corporations to remain and invest in South Africa.
On his 80th birthday, Nelson Mandela married Graca Machel, the widow of the former president of Mozambique.
He continued travelling the world, meeting leaders, attending conferences and collecting awards after stepping down as president.
After his official retirement, his public appearances were mostly connected with the work of the Mandela Foundation, a charitable fund that he founded.
On his 89th birthday, he formed The Elders, a group of leading world figures, to offer their expertise and guidance "to tackle some of the world's toughest problems".
Possibly his most noteworthy intervention of recent years came early in 2005, following the death of his surviving son, Makgatho.
At a time when taboos still surrounded the Aids epidemic, Mr Mandela announced that his son had died of Aids, and urged South Africans to talk about Aids " to make it appear like a normal illness".
He also played a key role in the decision to let South Africa host the 2010 football World Cup and appeared at the closing ceremony.
The first South African banknotes featuring his face went into circulation in November 2012.

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 18, 1918. His father was Chief Henry Mandela of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961. After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland. During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela's reputation grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He consistently refused to compromise his political position to obtain his freedom. Nelson Mandela was released on February 11, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo, became the organisation's National Chairperson.

Quotes
In my country we go to prison first and then become President.
If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal. Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.
I dream of an Africa which is in peace with itself. I dream of the realization of the unity of Africa, whereby its leaders combine in their efforts to solve the problems of this continent. I dream of our vast deserts, of our forests, of all our great wildernesses. I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.
If the United States of America or Britain is having elections, they don't ask for observers from Africa or from Asia. But when we have elections, they want observers.
Communists have always played an active role in the fight by colonial countries for their freedom, because the short-term objects of Communism would always correspond with the long-term objects of freedom movements. Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all. Does anybody really think that they didn't get what they had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?
For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner. It always seems impossible until it’s done. It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
