Unit 1 Women of achievement
Test：
一．
Helen Keller was born in America in June,1880. Everything was all right when she was born. But when she was nineteen months old, an attack of fever left her blind and deaf for the rest of her life. She became blind so young that as she grew older, she did not remember being able to see; and she became deaf before she had any idea of the importance of human speech. She lived in darkness and silence.
As she grew older, she, too, wanted to express her ideas and feelings. But she realized that she was cut off from others. Her parents were greatly worried. How could anyone get in touch with Helen's mind and intelligence in darkness and silence without speech? Helen was nearly seven before a teacher was found. Her name was Miss Sullivan. Miss Sullivan had a lot of difficulties in teaching Helen Keller. As the child could neither see nor hear, she had to use manual alphabet. But Helen's energy and intelligence and strong spirit, combined with Miss Sullivan's skill and patience, overcame all the difficulties.
As Helen grew up, she became an able student, passed examinations and finally took a university degree in English literature. She then devoted all herself to helping the blind and the deaf. Her personal success, together with the work she has done for others, made her one of the greatest women in modern times. She wrote many books and “The Story of My Life” is a remarkable one.

四. （知识延伸）The introduction of Song Qing-Ling
Song Qing-Ling was the wife of Dr. Sun Yat Sen who many Chinese consider the founder of modern China. Song qing-ling, the mother of our country. We all know her fame, but the life she went through was hard. But only did she live such a hard life, she became a successful person for all China’s people.
When she was a child, her family moved abroad, so she got more scientific knowledge than others who were on the main land, for at that time, China had just went out of the funeral society. When they moved back to China, Song qing-ling was just a young lady, but she and her sisters all joined in saving the Old China. She could have live happily with her family, in a very rich life , but all changed when she met a key, the founding father of China----Sun yi-xian. Sun was Song qing-ling’s father’s friend, at that time, he had already begin his plan of saving China.

After Sun yi-xian’s death, Jiang jie-shi came to power, and the relation between Kuomintang and communist Party came to break up. As Jiang’s wife was Song qing-ling’s young sister, so he wanted Song qing-ling to support him. But Song didn’t join him, and went to help the communist Party, which was not so strong as Kuomintang then.

阅读课需要正确地进行课堂教学设计，使教师与学生在英语阅读教学过程中处于和谐的互动状态，寻求教与学在英语阅读教学过程中的最优化，本课只是对阅读课的授课方式进行了一种探索，实践中还需要深度优化。
阅读课的教学应该从多方面开展，平时要让学生养成时时阅读的好习惯，精读和泛读相结合，学会欣赏课文。老师应该从阅读的形式上来备学生，阅读是个人内化语言知识的一个过程，完全依赖老师们的讲解和分析来上课，阅读就变成了讲读或对话课，小组合作学习此时就能发挥它的用武之地了。老师应该抓住学生的不同层次的语言知识掌握程度来进行小组的竞赛阅读，提高阅读的趣味性，学生对阅读的参与热情一下子就被激发了出来。给出问题，让学生给出答案，然后大家再一起讨论答案，在共同讨论的过程中，好的学生带引了其他学生去思考。最后的辩论更是把本堂课英语用到了好处。
