Reading
Teaching aims:
Enable students to learn what humor means and what is nonverbal humor.
Key points: Help students divide the text into several parts according to the meaning.
Difficult points: Divide the paragraphs and give the main ideas.
Teaching aids: A recorder and a projector
Teaching procedure:
Step 1. Revision
Check homework: ask students to present their jokes in class.
Step 2. Pre-reading
Questions: (1) What do you like to laugh at?
(2 ) What does humor mean? Is humor always kind?
Give students some time to discuss. The purpose is to help students know that different people have different taste about humor. It is difficult to say which one is better or which one is worse.
Step 3. Reading
The purpose of this reading is to introduce nonverbal humor. This reading material takes Charlie Chaplin for example. It tells us what nonverbal humor means; what is Charlie Chaplin’s style of acting; how he made a sad situation entertaining and so on.
Task 1. Divide the text into several parts according to the meaning.
Part One: the first and the second paragraph
Part Two: the third and the fourth paragraph

The main idea of part one: It tells us that there are two kinds of humor. One is bad, while the other can inspire people.
The main idea of part two: It tells us something about Charlie Chaplin’s acting style and how Charlie Chaplin made a sad situation entertaining.
The main idea of part three: it gives us a short biography about Charlie Chaplin.
Task 3. Discussion
Let students have a discussion about the text, then answer some questions.
Questions: (1) What is behind fun?
(2 ) Why did people like Little Tramp?
(3 ) Do you think Charlie Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny? Why?
Step 4 Language points
content (adj.): satisfied, happy, not wanting any more
phrases: content with sth; content to do sth

Content (n.): that which is contained in sth
e.g. I like the style of her writing but I don’t like the content.
inspire sb. ( with sth.) inspire sth. (in sb.): To fill sb. with thoughts, feelings or aims.
e.g. His speech inspired us with hope.
badly off: in a poor position, esp. financially
The opposite is “ well off”
e.g. (1) They are too badly off to have a holiday.
(2 ) In fact most people are better off than they were five years ago.
Step 5 Practice

grammar
Task 1. Revision
Have a revision about the –ing form used as the subject and object. Give students some sentences to translate:
Talking to him is useless.
Smoking does harm to your health.
Walking is my sole exercise.
Collecting stamps is my hobby.
I suggested bringing the meeting to an end.
He admitted taking the money.
I couldn’t help laughing.
Your coat needs washing.
Task 2. New usage of the –ing form
Ask students to look at the Exercises 4 on page 20. And then wake in pairs to finish the exercises.
Teacher checks the answers and give the explanations.
A cooking pot: A pot that is used for cooking.
A drinking horse: A horse that is drinking water.
The man sitting on the sofa is a friend of my brother’s.
Here the –ing form are used as attribute.
I saw the man sliding on a banner skin yesterday.
Did you notice the man picking up that broken bottle and putting it in his bag?
Hear the –ing form are used as object complement The structure of the sentence with an object complement is:
Subject + Predicate + Object + Object complement
Her job is looking after babies.
What he likes is playing chess after supper.
Here the –ing form are used as predictive. Pay attention to the differences between –ing form used as predicative and present continuous tense.
Her hobby is painting.
Her favorite sport is skiing.
This was very disappointing.
The test results are very discouraging.
She was very pleasing in her appearance.
His concern for his mother is very touching.
The photograph is missing.
The article was misleading, and the newspaper has apologized.
In the first two sentences, the –ing form is used to show the character of the subject. In the next four sentences the words of the –ing form are all about the feelings. In the last two sentences, the words of the –ing form show some states and qualities.
It is snowing hard.
(10) She is teaching in a night school.
In these two sentences, the –ing form are used as the predicate in the present continuous tense.
Step 4. Using Structures
Turn to page 57. Look at the Using Structure. There are two exercises in this part. Exercise 1 is to let students correct some errors in the sentences. This is not an easy job for most students, because it needs other knowledge, besides what the students learned today. So better leave them more time to do this exercise. For exercise 2, let students finish it in a short time. With the help of the pictures, students can easily understand the meaning and correctly use the –ing form to finish the blanks. Teacher can check the answers in class.
Step 4. Homework
Finish all exercises on page 56 and 57.
Using language and Summary
Teaching aims: 1) Learn to express the sentences that are connected with the positive and negative view of the same thing. 2) Make a summary about what has been learnt in this unit.
Key points: Sum up what we have learnt in this unit.
Difficult points: Sum up what we have learnt in this unit.
Teaching aids: A projector
Teaching procedure:
Step 1. Revision
Check homework: Ask students to present their dialogue in class.
Step 2. Reading
This reading task gives us another joke. The title is “An April fool’s joke: The Noodle Harvest”. Ask students to read the sentence : “A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.” After reading, explain the meaning of the sentence. (The meaning is that the thing is the same, but the way to treat it is different between a fool and a wise man.)
Give students some time to read the passage, then answer some questions and retell the whole story.
Questions: 1) What do children usually do on April Fool’s Day?
2) Why did people believe the programme Panorama?
3) Do you think the advice that the BBC gave people who asked how to grow noodle trees was serious? Give a reason..
4) What would you do to find out whether a story like this was true?
Step 3. Project
Ask students to make their own collection of jokes, funny poems or short stories. They can be the ones that they enjoy in the books that they have read. Make sure they add either a joke, a funny poem or a funny short story of their own. Copy them into a book and display it in the class so that all your classmates can enjoy them.
Step 4. Summing up
This is a summary about what they have learned in the unit. Leave students some time to finish the frame. Then teacher give students a dictation about the useful words and expressions.

W: It’s bean soup.
C: I don’t want to know what it’s been. I want to know what it is now. The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can have two meanings. 3. C: Waiter. Will the pancakes be long?
W: No, sir. Round. The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story.

think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. “I think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!"
