Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Revision
Revise the words and phrases learnt last period.
Step 2 Lead-in
What are you going to do this weekend?
I’m doing
We can see that the verbs are all used in the “-ing” form. They are “the present continuous tense”, but they express future actions or plans. The Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions.
Step 3 Practice
1.Look at the following dialogue and underline the verbs in this tense.
A: Are you working this evening?
B: No. We’re having an English party, don’t you know?
A: Yes, I do. And we’re giving some performance at the party. What are you going to do?
B: I’m singing song with my classmates.
2. Doing exercises No. 2 and 3 on page 21
Now turn to page 21 and do exercise 2. In the dialogue a newspaper reporter is interviewing Wang Wei about her plans for the trip along the Mekong River. However, they are not sure about some of the verb tenses. Can you help them complete their conversation?
Let’s continue to do exercise 3. Do you have any plans for the future yourselves? If you have any, please use the Present Continuous Tense to express your future actions. Give as much information as you can.
Step4 Dialogue
1. First show an example: Where you going on holiday?
A: Yanzi, where you going on holiday? B: I’ m going to Laos.
A: When are you leaving? B: Next Sunday.
A: How are you going to Laos? B: I’m taking a plane.
A: How long are you staying there? B: About two weeks.
A: Great. Have a good trip. B: Thanks.

This is the third period of this unit. To test if Ss have understood the phrases and patterns they learned during the second period，the teacher can first give them some revision exercises. “It is ...that” is a very difficult structure，so the teacher can design some exercises for Ss.
Ss have got some idea about the present continuous tense for future use in the first period，to make them more familiar with its fun_ction，the teacher can give them more practice，both oral and written. Meanwhile，the teacher will help them go over another two ways of expressing future actions. These tasks are designed to improve their ability of using language.
To make Ss well prepared for the reading of the fourth period，the teacher can deal with the rest few new words in this class.
As to the homework，the teacher will ask Ss to preview Part 3 on Page 19 after class. Because this work is a bit difficult，tell Ss any group work is welcome.Since the five-day National holidays are coming. Suppose that one student and his friends will go for a trip. Ask them to go to a nearby travel agency and find a schedule for their trip. Later they are required to talk about what they will do on their travel，using present continuous tense. Through this activity，Ss can get to know what a travel plan is like，and consolidate what they have learned，which is correspondent to the teaching method “Learn through doing”.

教学过程
Step 1 Greeting
Step 2 Revision
T：First I will test how well you understand what you learned yesterday. Please judge whether the following sentences are right. If they are not right，please correct them.
（1）It is with the help of the teacher that I passed the exam.
（2）It is I who is wrong.
（3）It was she that he helped with her homework yesterday.
（4）It was at the post-office where we met each other.
（5）It was yesterday afternoon when they played a close basketball game.
（6）Who was it that discovered the secret？
S：I think it’s right.
T：Do you agree with him？
S2：No，I think it is not right. But I don’t know why.
T：Does any one know the reason？
S3：In that cause，the past tense is used，so I think we should change “is” to “was”.
T：Quite Good. That is to say：当原句的时态为表示现在的各种时态时，用It is...；当原句的时态为表示过去的各种时态时，则用It was...。Now，what about the second sentence？
S：I think it is right.
S：I don’t agree with her. Here “who” refers to “I”，so after I we should use “am”.
T：Great.当被强调部分为原句的主语时，that句中谓语动词应在人称与数上与它保持一致。Let’s look at Sentence 3，is it right or wrong？
S：It’s wrong. The phrase is “help sb. with sth.” I think we should change “she” to “her”.
T：Good.当被强调部分为代词时，如是主语就用代词的主格，如是宾语则用宾格。So you see in Sentence 2，we use I instead of me，because the emphasized part is subject.
S：I see.
T：Is Sentence 4 a good sentence？
S：Yes，I think so.
T：What is your opinion，Han Mei？
Han Mei：I am not quite sure.
T：Write down this sentence in your notebook：
当被强调的对象指人时，可用who/whom 代替that；但当被强调的是地点、时间、原因、方式等状语时，决不能用where，when，why，how 等来替换。
S：Sentence 4 and Sentence 5 are wrong. We should use “that” in place of “where” and “when”.
T：You are clever. And the last sentence is right. Always remember：
Wh+was it that...？当对被强调的地点、时间、原因、方式等状语提问时，我们要用到这个句型。
Please translate these sentences，using this structure.
（1）他是在哪里度过他的童年时代的？
（2）他们怎样取得这么大的成就的呢？
（3）他和她为什么吵架？
S1：Where was it that he spent his childhood？
S2：How was it that they made such great achievements？
S3：Why was it that he quarreled with her？
Step 3 Relaxation
T：You did a quite good job. I will play an English song for you as a reward. But while enjoying the song，you should underline the verb in the sentences of part on Page 21.
Step 4 Grammar
T：Do you like the song？
S：Yes.
T：If you learn English well，you can find more wonderful things about English culture. Let’s work hard.
S：OK.
T：Have you underlined the verbs？
S：Yes，are working，are having，are giving，am singing.
T：What do we call this tense？
S：The present continuous tense.
T：But here does this tense express the present action or state？
S：No.
T：We all can see it expresses the future action. Can you express these sentences in other ways？
S：Are you going to work this evening？
We are going to have an English party.
We are going to give performances at the party.
I am going to sing songs with my classmates.
T：So you use “be going to” to express the future action. Will someone say them in a different way？
S：Will you work this evening？
We will have an English party.
We will give performances at the party.
I will sing songs with my classmates.
T：You are perfect right. And you use “will do” to express future action. Now how many ways do we have to express future actions？List them.
S：Three，be doing，be going to do，will do.
T：Good.（Write the three ways on the blackboard.）Now，let’s look at Part 3 on Page 21.Tell your partner what you want to do.
（Give Ss several minutes to talk to each other.）
T：Now，it’s time to demonstrate your sentences to the whole class.
Possible answers：
（1）Tomorrow morning，I am walking my dog./I am going to walk my dog./I will walk my dog.
（2）The day after tomorrow，I am taking part in an English speech contest./I am going to take part in an English speech contest./I will take part in an English speech contest.

S2：Almost.
S1：When are you leaving？

This is the third teaching period of this unit. To test whether the students have grasped the important and difficult language points they learned in the last period, the teacher should first offer them some revision exercises. The pattern “It is. . . that/who. . . ” is a bit difficult, so special exercises should be designed.
This teaching period mainly deals with grammar and speaking. Firstly, the teacher can enjoy with the students the song “I’m babysitting on Thursday to ”present the Present Continuous Tense. The students are expected to make it clear that the Present Continuous Tense may be used to denote an action that can be pre-planned or prearranged instead of the future indefinite in colloquial English. But please note that, not all verbs can be used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Such verbs as come, go, leave, fly, walk, ride, drive, stay, meet, die, see, have, arrive, etc. are mainly used in the “-ing” form to express future actions. Then do the exercises in Discovering useful structures on Page 21 and more for students to master this usage. Later on, ask them to make dialogues in pairs according to supposed situations. This can help the students connect grammar rules with proper language forms so as to make grammar rules less abstract. At the end of the class, do the exercises in Using structures on Page 57 and multiple choices as consolidation exercises.

transport / traffic辨析

transfer v．转移
transform v．把……转换成；变换

10．When I told her the air would_be_hard_to_breathe and it would be very cold，she said it would be an interesting experience.(P18)
当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气会很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。
the air would be hard to breathe是“主语＋be＋形容词＋不定式”结构，其中the air是breathe的逻辑宾语，不定式作状语修饰形容词。常用于此结构中的形容词有：difficult，hard，easy，comfortable，pleasant，interesting，exciting等。
A man so difficult to please must be hard to work with.一个如此难以取悦的人一定很难与之共事。
The box seemed heavy to carry.
那个箱子好像提起来很重。
【提示】在此结构中，不定式不能用被动语态而要用主动语态；若不定式中的动词是不及物动词，需有与之搭配的介词。
【对接高考】　
(辽宁高考)This machine is very easy ______.Anybody can learn to use it in a few minutes.
A．operating B．to be operating
C．operated D．to operate
【解析】句意：这台机器很容易操作。任何人都可以在几分钟内学会使用它。此句式中动词不定式作状语，与句子主语构成动宾关系，故用主动形式表达被动意义。分析本题时我们首先要分析出句子的结构是：sth.is＋形容词＋非谓语动词，这样我们知道在这个结构中，非谓语动词使用的是动词不定式，因此排除A、C两项。B项采用的是动词不定式的进行式，表达的是一个正在进行中的动作，而“这种机器很容易操作”是一个常态。
【答案】　D
完成句子

教学过程
Step 1 Greeting
Step 2 Revision
T：Yesterday we learned some new words referring to topography. Now turn to Page 20 and look at Part 3.Who will read the short passage？
S：I really enjoyed my school field trip in geography. We saw so many beautiful things：a glacier that flowed like a river of ice through a canyon that cut the mountains into two parts. We also discovered a river which fell off the mountain and became a wonderful waterfall. This was even more exciting to see than the rapids where the water seemed to boil. Later we followed the river to a quieter plain and finally into a delta and the sea.
Step 3 Revision and improvement
T：Yesterday we also learned some other new words. Now I’d like to see how many you have grasped. First，would you please turn to Page 20？Let’s look at Part 1.
S：OK.
T：If you can complete the sentence，just stand up and read the sentence to the whole class.
S：He is so stubborn that no one can persuade him to do anything.
T：Can you think of the synonym of “stubborn”？
S：strong - minded.
T：Yes，of course here we can say “He is so strong-minded that no one can persuade him to do anything.”
But look at this sentence “He is so ____________ that even if he knows he is wrong，he will not admit.”
Which word can be used here？
S：Stubborn.
T：Do you think here we can also use strong-minded to replace “stubborn”？
S：No.
T：Why？
S：“Strong-minded” always has a good meaning while “stubborn” sometimes has some bad sense.
T：Can any one of you show us two other examples？
S：Yes. He is so strong-minded that the terrible weather will not prevent him from getting to the meeting on time.
He is too stubborn to take anyone’s advice.
T：Good. We should also pay attention to the phrases with “persuade”，such as persuade sb.to do sth. and persuade sb. not to do sth.
（1）My father persuaded me to take part in the summer camp.我爸爸劝我参加夏令营。
（2）His mother persuaded him not to take part in the summer camp.他妈妈劝他不要参加夏令营。
Look at Sentence 3，is it right？
（3）My father persuaded me to take part in the summer camp，but I didn’t.
S：Yes.
T：No，it isn’t right. If one’s persuasive action doesn’t work，we mustn’t use “persuade sb. to do”，but use “try to persuade sb.to do” or “advise sb.to do.” So can you correct Sentence 3？
S：Yes. We should say：My father tried to persuade me to take part in the summer camp，but I didn’t.
My father advised me to take part in the summer camp，but I didn’t.
T：We also have “persuade/talk sb. into doing sth.” and “ persuade /talk sb. out of doing sth.” Can you use the two phrases to change Sentence 1 and Sentence 2？
S：OK，let me try. Sentence 1 can be turned to “My father persuaded me into taking part in the summer camp.”
Sentence 2 can be turned to “His mother persuaded him out of taking part in the summer camp.”
T：Good. Now who will read the second sentence？
S：A determined person always tries to finish the job，no matter how hard it is.
T：What part of speech is the word “determined”？
S：It is an adjective.
T：Yes，we can say，a determined woman，which means a woman who is strong-minded.
We can also use the word as an adverbial；for example，he left for the west to seek his fortune，determined never to return unless he succeeded.
S：I know an adjective can also be used as predictive；can the word be used like this？
T：Of course，we have “ be determined to do sth.”
eg，We are determined to help him out of the difficulty.
How can we say “我们决心学好英语”？
S：We are determined to learn English well.
T：Right. Now the third sentence.
S：Once she has made up her mind，nothing will change.
T：Do you know the meaning of “once”？
S：Yes.“一旦”.
T：Can you make several sentences？
S1：Once I have money，I will go abroad for further study.
S2.Once I will promise you，I will not change my mind.
T：Do you find any mistake in his sentence？
T：Oh，you can’t. Here “once” leads a clause with conditional sense，so in the clause，we usually use present tense or past tense in place of present future tense or past future tense. Are you clear now？
S2：Yes. I should say：Once I promise you，I will not change my mind.
S3：Once you understand the rules，you will find these exercises easy to do.
T：So far，so good. Who can read Sentence 4？
S：Is it proper for us to take off our hats in church？
T：Here are several sentences with the word “proper”. Please guess the meanings.
Has he got a proper suit for the ceremony？
He worked out the maths problems in the proper way，so the teacher gave him full mark.
We should behave properly in public.
S：The first proper means “suitable”. The second proper means “correct”.
T：“Properly” is the adverbial form of “proper”. Sentence 3 means “We should behave in a proper manner”.
Now look at Sentence 5.
S：He insisted that we find the source of the trouble as soon as possible，Everyone agreed.
T：“Insist” is also a very important word. You should remember “ insist on doing sth.”.This phrase means “坚持做某事”.
How can we say “我坚持他与我一起去参加舞会”？
S：I insist on his going to the ball with me.
T：What about “他坚决要求派往西藏”？
S：He insisted on being sent to Tibet.
T：Right. Now listen to me more carefully. What I will say is more difficult.
“Insist” can also be followed by an object clause. If we want to declare a purpose that can not be changed，we usually use subjunctive mood，that is，use “should do” in the clause；if we want to describe a fact，we just use declarative mood.
Look at the examples. The sentences we talked about above can be changed like this：
I insist that he （should） go to the ball with me.
He insisted that he （should） be sent to Tibet.
Look at another example：他坚持说他没违法，不该被投进监狱。
前半句他坚持的是一个事实，用陈述语气，后半句表示他坚持不该投进监狱，要用虚拟语气。So the correct sentence should be：He insisted that he didn’t break the law and shouldn’t be put in prison.
Similarly，how can we say “他坚持说他没生病，不用送医院”.
S：He insisted that he was not ill and shouldn’t be sent to hospital.
T：Perfect. Then let’s shift to sentence 6.
S：Do you remember every detail of the story you have just read？
T：Detail means “细节，琐碎的事”.Whenever we do anything，we should be careful. That means we should care about details. And you had better know the phrase “in detail”，for example，“For fear that I couldn’t understand the maths problem，he explained it to me in detail.” Now，the seventh sentence.
S：I wanted to pay the train fare，but my friend insisted. Finally I gave in.
T：To pay the train fare means to pay the train ticket. In the previous part，we came across one-way fare，which means
“the money paid for a single ticket”. Please remember these useful phrases：
one-way ticket=a single ticket 单程票
the return ticket 回程票
the round-trip ticket 来回票
Look at these phrases with “give”
give up doing 放弃做某事
give in （to sb./sth.） 屈服于
give out 筋疲力尽
give away 捐赠，泄露
Try to complete these sentences：
（1）After the long trip，both the men and the horses ____________.

备课资料
1.It is/was...that强调句型的注意点：
（1）当原句的时态为表示现在的各种时态时，用It is...；当原句的时态为表示过去的各种时态时，则用It was...。
（2）当被强调的对象指人时，可用who/whom 代替that；但当被强调的是地点、时间、原因、方式等状语时，决不能用where，when，why，how 等来替换。
（3）当被强调部分为代词时，如是主语就用代词的主格，如是宾语则用宾格。
（4）当被强调部分为原句的主语时，that句中谓语动词应在人称与数上与它保持一致。
It was I that/who am your friend.
It was him that/whom I met in the street yesterday.
It was in the street that I met Tom yesterday.（不可换作where）
It was yesterday that I met Tom in the street.（不可换作 when）
It was they who/that were wrong.

may表示可能性。
（1）当表示对目前情况的猜测时，常用may + do/be。

（2）当表示对目前正在进行的动作猜测时，常用may + be doing。
It’s 12 o’clock. He may be having his lunch.

（3）当表示对过去发生的动作猜测时，常用may + have done。
He didn’t come on time. He may have been caught in the traffic jam.
他没准时来，可能遇到交通阻塞了。
当表示对某种情况的猜测很有把握时，可把may 换成 must，当表示不太有把握时，则换成might。
It must have rained last night，for the ground was wet when I opened the door this morning.
昨晚肯定下雨了，因为今晨我开门时地面是湿的。
I got up late this morning，I might have turned off the alarm clock and gone to sleep again.
今晨我起晚了，可能我关了闹钟却又睡着了。
在否定句中，则需把may/might/must 换成can’t 或 couldn’t，译成“不可能”；在疑问句中则用can 或 could 替换，译成“有……的可能吗？”。
I saw your brother at yesterday’s party，so he couldn’t have been to the concert.

答案：(1)C　(2)A
→Step 5 Sentence focus
1. It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.
这是一个复合句，主句“It was my sister who first had the idea. . . ”是强调句型，强调的是句子的主语my sister；where it begins和where it ends都是宾语从句，分别作介词from和to的宾语。整个句子可以翻译成“首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑自行车旅游的就是我的姐姐。”这里需要注意的是，强调句型可以用来强调除谓语以外的任何成分，如果被强调部分是表示人的名词或代词，可用that，也可以用who，其他情况下一律用that。
It was I who/that saw Mary in the street this afternoon. （强调主语）
It was Mary that/whom I saw in the street this afternoon. （强调宾语）
It was in the street that I saw Mary this afternoon. （强调地点状语）
It was this afternoon that I saw Mary in the street. （强调时间状语）
下面几点供老师参考去延伸讲解：
1)强调句的一般疑问句
Was it your brother that/whom you met at McDonald? （强调宾语）
Is it Tom that has borrowed your money recently? （强调主语）
2)强调句的特殊疑问句
Where was it that you saw her mobile phone yesterday? （强调地点状语）
How is it that you will go to visit her tomorrow? （强调方式状语）
3)强调从句
It was because it was raining hard that I came home late. （强调状语从句）
It was what you said that really made us excited. （强调主语从句）
4)not until结构的强调
It was not until it stopped that we got off the bus. （注意：强调该结构时not until不能分开）
5)强调时间状语和地点状语时与定语从句的区别
It was in 1921 that our Party was founded. （强调句）
It was 1921 when our Party was founded. （定语从句）
It was on the farm that we practiced planting crops. （强调句）
It was the farm where we learned a lot. （定语从句）
表示时间或地点的名词前有介词时，一般为强调句型；前面没有介词时，多为定语从句。但应注意，有些表示时间的名词或短语在作状语时本身不需要加介词，也应视为强调句型。
It was yesterday/last week that we chatted a lot on line.
昨天/上周我们在网上聊了许多。
It was not until she got home______________ Jennifer realized she had lost her keys.
A. when B. that C. where D. before
答案：B
2. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there.
这里的Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places是让步状语
从句；that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there是宾语从句，用的是虚拟语气。整个句子可以翻译成“尽管她对到某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持我们要找到河的源头，并从那里开始我们的行程。”动词insist在表示“坚持某人应该……”时，后面的宾语从句应该使用虚拟语气，即should+动词原形或省略should直接用动词原形。
They insisted that he (should)be present at the ceremony.
他们坚持认为他应该出席庆典仪式。
Mother insisted that a girl (should)not go out alone at night.
妈妈坚持认为女孩子不应该晚上一个人出去。
3. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she wouldn’t change her mind.
这里的the kind是a look的同位语，that said she wouldn’t change her mind 是that引导的定语从句。determined在句中的意思是“坚决的，坚定的”；say的意思是“指明，表明”。整个句子可以翻译成“她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的”。
She is a very determined woman who always gets what she wants.
她是一名意志非常坚定的妇女，总是会得到她想要的东西。
The clock on the wall said a quarter to ten.
墙上的钟表明差一刻十点。
4. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it.
这里的Once she has made up her mind是状语从句，相当于When she has made up her mind。once在这里用作连词，表示as soon as一旦；一……就……。整个句子可以翻译成“她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。”
Once you understand the rule, you will have no difficulty.
一旦明白了这条规则，你就再也没有困难了。
What will we do once the money is used up?
钱一旦用完，我们该怎么办？
Once printed, this dictionary will be very popular!
一旦出版，这本词典将会非常畅销！
once adv.
1)(for)one time一次
2)at some time in the past一度；曾经
3)all at once: suddenly突然
Once a year, a race is held for old cars.
每年举行一次旧式小汽车比赛。
It once seemed inconceivable to everyone that men should travel to the moon.
人们一度认为，人飞上月球似乎是不可想象的。
All at once the door opened.
门突然开了。
______________ environmental damage is done, it takes many years for the ecosystem (生态系统)to recover.
A. Even if B. If only C. While D. Once
答案：D
5. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province.
这里的as it passes through deep valleys是时间状语从句，traveling across western Yunnan Province是现在分词作伴随状语，整个句子可以翻译成“它穿过深谷时就变成了激流，流经云南西部。”
They came to the street, looking for the lost dog.
他们来到街上，寻找丢失的狗。
The boys and girls went to school, singing and dancing all the way.
孩子们走在上学的路上，载歌载舞。
through&across:
through和across都有“经过”“穿过”的意思，但二者又有区别。through是指在物体内部穿过，它的含义和in有关；across是指在物体表面上经过，它的含义和on有关。
We walked through the market to the truck park.
我们穿过市场来到了卡车停车场。
They walked across the playground and disappeared in the dark.
他们穿过操场，消失在黑暗中。

Ss: Yes.
T: Where have you been before?
S1: I’ve been to Beijing, and Huangshan.
T: How did you find your travel to Beijing?
S1: Very interesting. It helped me learn about the history of Beijing. As the capital of our motherland, it is really beautiful. The deepest impression on me is the visit to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. But it was a pity that time was too short. We had no chance to go sightseeing in other places of interest.
S2: I went to Xiameng last year. I think the travel to Xiameng was busy. We visited many places, such as Wuyi Mountain, Putuo Temple, Ningbo and so on. Though we had a good time, in fact, most of the time was spent on trains. That was boring and tiring. I felt a bit sorry.
T: It’s a pity. If you had made a proper plan before traveling, your journey would have been much more comfortable and interesting. Do you think so?
S2: I agree with you.
T: How do you like travel?
S3: In my opinion, travel is interesting and helpful. When I travel I can learn a lot. I can enjoy local customs, cultures and beautiful scenery.
T: I also think so. Well, after we choose a place to travel, we must choose a kind of transport which kind of transport do you prefer to use: bus or train? Now, please work with your partners and think about the advantages and disadvantages of each form of transport and fill in the chart on page 17.
Five minutes later, check the Ss’ answers
T: Ok. We’ve weighed the advantages and disadvantages of each form of transport. Now, imagine that you plan to spend a holiday. Choose a place you want to visit. Think about the fare for different kinds of transport and decide how to get there. You may not know the exact fare, but you can guess how much the fare is. Please have a discussion with your partners and then decide how to get there.
Two minutes later, ask a pair of students to report their decisions.
T: Since you’ve decided how to get there, I’d like you to talk more about your holidays. Then use these questions on the screen to make a dialogue about your holidays with your partners.
Show the screen.
Where are you going on holiday?

Sa: Great. Have a good trip.
Sb: Thanks.
Step 2 Pre-reading
T: Well done! Do you like traveling along a river, a great river?
Ss: Yes.
T: By the way, what role does a river play in people’s life? In other words, how do people who live along a river use it?
S1: People use a river to irrigate their fields.
S2: People use a river to make electricity.
S3: People go swimming in the river in summer. They can float wood down a river.
S4: They can travel along a river.
T: You are right. As we know the world has many rivers. It even has many great rivers. What makes a river great, in your opinion?

T: It doesn’t matter. Now let’s look at the map on Page 18. Will you please find out the countries that the Mekong River flows through?
Ss: China, Vietnam and Laos.
Step 3 Reading and comprehending
T: Great. Now let’s read a passage about a journey down the Mekong River.
Please read the passage and get a main idea of the text. Let’s learn more about the Mekong River. Then I’d like to ask you some questions on the text.
Show the questions on the screen. Give the Ss five minutes to read the passage and then check their answers
Questions:
What was Wang Kun and Wang Wei’s idea of a good trip?
Who planned the trip to the Mekong?
Where is the source of the Mekong River and which sea does it enter?
What can you see when you travel along the Mekong River?
What difficulties did Wang Kun and Wang Wei find about their journey?
What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?
T: You know Wang Kun and Wang Wei are brother and sister. What was their idea of a good trip?
S1: They have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.
T: Who planned the trip to the Mekong?
S2: Wang Wei.
T: What about Question 3?
S3 The source of the Mekong River is in Qinghai Province and it enters the South China Sea.
T: How about Question 4?
S4: We can see a glacier, deep valleys, waterfalls, hills and plains.
T: What difficulties did Wang Kun and Wang Wei find about their journey?
S5: We know that the travelers had to climb over a Tibetan mountain and pass through deep valleys.
T: You are right. Have you ever thought of traveling by bike?
Ss: Yes/no.
T: What do you think about Wang Kun and Wang Wei?
S6: I think they are energetic and determined.
T: Quite right. Now I’d like you to tell Wang Wei’s and Wang Kun’s similar and different attitudes about the trip. You can have a discussion with your partners. And then fill in the chart. By the way, do you know the word “attitude”? An attitude is what a person thinks about something. Let’s start.
Two minutes is enough. Teacher checks the answers and writes them down on the blackboard while the students are telling their answers.
Similar attitudes about the trip
Both think
taking this trip is a dream that comes true.
that they will enjoy the trip a lot.
they should see a lot of the Mekong.
that most of the Mekong will be found in Southeast Asia.
Different attitudes about the trip
Wang Wei believes
they must start in Qinghai where the river begins / see all of the Mekong
that they don’t need to prepare much.
Wang Kun believes
it is too cold and high to start in Qinghai.
that using an atlas is very important.
T: Do you agree with them?
S: Yes.
T: OK. Another question. Who do you think was right about the trip? Why?
S: I think Wang Kun was right, because if it is too cold and too high, the trip will be hard. People will have some difficulty in breathing at a high altitude. Wherever we go we need an atlas so that we will not lose our way.
Step 4 Explanation
During the procedure Teacher will ask Ss to read the text carefully and pay attention to the words in bold in the text and underline the sentences they don’t understand. Then Teacher will do some explanations, deal with language problems in the text, and at the same time mention Ss to refer to Notes 5 to10 on P 81. Next Teacher plays the tape.
T: Well, everyone. Let’s read the text again. Please read carefully and focus our attention on the details and the sentences you don’t understand. Underline the sentences you don’t understand. Please go ahead.
Five minutes later.
T: Finished? Do you have any problems?
S1: Yes. In the sentence “She insisted that we find the source of the river and begin our journey there.” the verb “insist” is used in the past definite tense, while “find” is in the original form of a verb. It seems that they don’t agree with each other.
S2: I don’t understand the sentence “She gave me a determined look – the kind that said she wouldn’t change her mind.” What’s the meaning of “the kind”?
T: O K. let me do some explanations and deal with the difficult language points.
insist vt. to declare that a purpose can not be changed. In this case the clause is often used in the so-called subjunctive mood to express one’s strong suggestion. The verb is often used in the form of “should + do” or “do”.
e.g. I insisted that he should come with us.
The teacher insisted that a meeting be held immediately.
In the sentence “ the Kind “ means “ the kind of the face”
dream about to see in a dream
e.g. The soldier often dreamt about home.
It was my sister who had the idea …
This is an emphatic drill. Its pattern drill goes like this: It is / was + the emphatic part + that/ who + clause.
e.g. It is light that travels faster than sound.
It was the headmaster who gave us a talk on how to learn a foreign language well.
persuade vt. to cause sb. by reasoning (to do sth.)
e.g. The doctor has persuaded him to give up smoking.
cycle vi to ride a bike
stubborn adj. difficult to deal with; not easily giving way to persuasion
e.g. The girl is so stubborn that nobody can persuade her to change her mind.
properly adv in a suitable manner
care about be interested or be concerned
It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. In the sentence, make means become.
once conj. even for one time, as soon as
e.g. Once you understand this rule you will have no further difficulty.
Once you show any fear the dog will attack you.
give in to surrender
e.g. Liu Hulan would rather die than give in.
T: Well, anything else?
Ss: No.
T: It’s time to do practice. Work in pairs. Imagine that you are Wang Kun and Wang Wei. Choose a paragraph from the passage and use the information to help you make up a dialogue. Two minutes later, I’ll ask a pair of students to act out your dialogue.
A sample:
Wang Wei: You know, we’ve always wanted to do a long bike trip. Why don’t we go on one after we graduate from college?
Wang Kun: That’s a good idea. Where are we going?
Wang Wei: Why not cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends?
Wang Kun: Well. We should plan it well.
Wang Wei: Let me plan our schedule. I can organize the trip properly.
T: Good. Sit down, please. Now it’s time to deal with Exercise 5 on page 19. Compare the following sentences with different stresses and explain the meaning. Follow the example.
Two minutes later.
T: Now, who’d like to explain the first sentence? Volunteer!
S1: I think it says: It’s a surprise to learn that half the river is in China.
T: Quite right. Sentence Two?
S2: We were both surprised to learn that the Chinese part of the river forms a half of the river.
T: Ok. The last sentence.
S3: We were both surprised to learn that it is in china that half the river is.
T: Good. We can see that different stresses express different meanings of the narrator.
Step 5 Summing up and homework
T: This class we have grasped the main idea of the text, the usage of some words and phrases. We’ve also learned about traveling. That is: before traveling we should make good preparations—making a plan, decide the place to visit and get enough information about the place. With full preparations we’ll have a good time during the trip. Here is your homework. Please go over the text after class, and complete the exercise on P 56 in workbook. All right, boys and girls, that’s all for today.

Reading
Teaching ideology
According to the National English Curriculum (NEC), the ultimate goal of English teaching is to achieve learners’ comprehensive language competence. All the teaching activities should be designed on the basis of the principle of learner-centeredness. The current theory views reading as an interactive process, which involves the printed text and the learners’ general knowledge of the language and of the world as well.
Based upon this understanding, in this class, the Interactive Reading Model is adopted to help learners to develop their reading strategies.
Analysis of teaching material
The reading material is from NSEFC module 1 unit 3, of which the topic is travel journal. This passage mainly introduces Wang Kun and Wang Wei’s dreams and plans for the journey down the Mekong. The passage consists of three paragraphs. The first paragraph is about their dreams to take a bike trip. The second paragraph talks about Wang Kun’s and Wang Wei’s attitude towards the trip. The last part tells about the basic information of Mekong, which may not be natural to teach according to this order. The topic travel is familiar to students, but they have no idea of an English travel journal.
Analysis of learners
The learners of this class are from grade one in Jin Hua No.2 high school. As high school students, they have achieved English level, generally at level 7 and they can use some strategies to help them understand the passage. They are easily motivated and want to air their opinions on the topic. They are familiar with the topic of travel. But they can get easily unfocused if the activity is not students-oriented. Besides, their vocabulary is limited, which increased their difficulties in understanding some sentences.
Learning objectives
By the end of the class, ss will be able to
Knowledge and skills
①Predict the content of the passage based on the title.
②Grasp some reading skills such as scanning and skimming through different tasks.
③Master the key words and phrases such as determine, change one’s mind, give in, ever since, persuade, schedule, etc. to discuss how to make travel plan.
④Have an awareness of expressing future tense using present continuous tense through the reading of the passage.
⑤Grasp the using of method of “Comparison and Contrast”.
Process and methods
①Cultivate their ability of individual learning and cooperative learning by doing some activities independently and some in groups.
②Communicate with each other in English while carrying out tasks.
Affection, attitude and values
①Know more about the Mekong River.
②Cultivate their awareness of loving nature and our nation.
③Learn the importance of corporation and mutual aid in solving the problems, such as making a good travel plan.
Learning focuses and anticipated difficulties
Learning focuses
①Ss understand the content of the reading part.
②Ss cultivate students’ reading skills, such as predicting, skimming, scanning and summarizing.

④Ss learn to talk about travel plan in English.
Anticipated difficulties
①Ss may have difficulties in understanding and memorizing the geography terms.
②Ss may feel difficult to need between lines to tell the different personalities of Wang Kun and Wang Wei.
③Ss may get confused with the expressing future tense using present progressive, which is new to most of them.
Possible solutions
①To put more emphasis on the second paragraph, the third paragraph should just be mentioned with the aid of vivid pictures and a video clip, in order to present the geography directly.
②The teacher makes a dialogue between Wang Kun and Wang Wei according to Paragraph 2, with whose help Ss can feel it directly through the conversation. Then, the teacher should lead Ss to find out the difference by asking them about their understanding of the “stubbornness” of Wang Wei.
③The grammar part is left in a particular section, with much examples from life, Ss can have a general concept in Grade 1.

Step 2 Reading
T: Wonderful! Homework check is over. Please turn to page 22. Now let go on with the journey down the Mekong with Wang Wei and Wang Kun. They are in Tibet at present. Now please read the passage quickly and quietly and get the main idea of it. Then I’ll ask you the questions on the screen.
Show the questions on the screen.
What items are Wang Wei and Wang Kun carrying with them? What do you think they will have to leave behind in Dali? What they should take instead?
How does Wang Kun feel about the trip now?
What do you think has changed his attitude?
Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely?
Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not?
Do Chinese like to be around with others more than westerners?
Three minutes later, Teacher asks Ss those questions.T: Who volunteers to answer the first questions?
S1: They are carrying water bottles, cups, coats, gloves, T-shirts, shorts, tent, pillow. I think they should leave cups, gloves, coats behind and take raincoats instead.
T: The second?
S2: He is starting to enjoy the trip.
T: What about the second?
S3: Seeing the beautiful land has changed Wang Kun’s attitude.
T: Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely?
S4: Yes, We can see that the scene Wang Kun saw is beautiful. The clear sky , the bright stars and the fire accompany him. Besides, their cousins are waiting for him. They will meet soon. So he doesn’t feel lonely.
T: What’s your answer to the fourth question?
S5: Yes, because beautiful scenery will make people happy. Especially when his best friend is waiting for him somewhere.
T: What’s your opinion about the last one?
S6: Yes, Chinese prefer to be around others while Westerners want to spend some time alone. This is because of different cultures.
Step 3 Speaking
T: Great. Imagine Wang Wei and Wang Kun have a talk the next morning before they leave their camp. Can you make up a short dialogue between them with your partner?
Two minutes later, ask two pairs of Ss to act out.
S7: Oh, up so early?
S8: Early? It’s nearly 9 o’clock!
S7: Oops. (Look at his watch). I guess you’re right.
S8: Why were you so tired?
S7: Well, I stayed up late last night to watch the stars.
S8: That’s nice. They must be pretty.
S7: Yes, they were.
Another pair.
S9: You look tired.
S10: Yes, I stayed up the whole night.
S9: Really?
S10: Yes, I watched the stars and the clear sky.
S9: Great! That must be pretty.
S10: Yes, they were. Look at the sun and the clouds.
S9: How nice!
T: Wonderful! Now let’s listen to the tape and do a listening practice. Mark the rising and falling tone of each sense group and sentence. Then practice reading aloud.
Let the Ss do the practice for a few minutes.
Step 4 Listening and Explanation
Listen to the tape and do Ex 3, then do the explanation.
T: Now listen to the tape and please finish Ex3 on page 22.
Minutes later,
T: OK. we have read the passage and understood it. Does anyone have any problem?
S11: Would you please explain the sentence Our legs felt so heavy and cold ?
T: It means we were tired and felt very cold.
S12: What’s the meaning of We can hardly wait to see them?
T: They are eager to see their cousins.
T: No other problems? Well, have you noticed that Wang Kun and Wang Wei take many things during their travel? You see they change their clothes in different weather. Now boys and girls, let’s turn to a relaxing topic. If you are helping the cyclists to prepare for their trip down the Mekong, what do you think you need to choose to take? Look at the talking part on P 55. You are asked to circle five that you think are the most useful and then compare your list with your partner. And then tell the reasons. Here are some more items on the blackboard: backpack, cash, first aid kit, boots, suitcases, passports and CD card.
Five minutes later, ask two pairs of Ss to act out their dialogues.
Sample dialogue:
Sa: Well, I’m not sure about some of these things but I think a can/tin opener is not very useful.
Sb: Why not?
Sa: Just think: cans / tins are heavy to carry on a bike. So no cans means no can / tin opener.
Sb: Yes, you’re right. And I’m not sure about the need for an umbrella either.
Sa: But certainly it will rain on their trip. So it is useful.
Sb: I disagree. How can you hold an umbrella and ride a bike?
Sa: Oh yeah, I see what you mean. So they should have raincoats.
Sb: Yes, and raincoats are not heavy.
Sa: How about the radio? I mean, can we really use it?
Sb: Maybe in China they can get the weather report on the radio.
Sa: Yes, sure, but most of the trip is not in China. They don’t know the languages.
Sb: Right. OK. So we agree that a can / tin opener, umbrella and a radio are useless.
Another sample:
Sc: I think a tent and a blanket are the most useful.
Sd: I agree, they need them to spend night. And I am sure of the need of a compass.
Sc: I don’t think so. As long as they travel down the river, they’ll never lose their way.
Sd: Yes, How about a water bottle?
Sc: In my opinion, it’s the most useful. They need water all the way.
Sd: Right. I am sure they need a map.
Sc: Yes. If they have a map, they will know where they are.
Sd: Now, a tent, a blanket and a map are the most useful.
Step 5 summing up and homework
T: OK. Everyone. Today we have read a passage and practiced speaking. We have known what we will take when we take a bike trip. Please go on practice talking about the subject after class. Next class, I will ask some of you to act out your dialogues. This is your homework. Pease do the SPEAKING TASK on page 59 in your Workbook. Imagine that you and three of your classmates run a travel business that gives tours of famous places in or near your hometown. You want to make a poster advertising a tour so that your travel agency can get more business. That’s all for today. Bye.

Enjoy the music “青藏高原”
Appreciate the beauty of Tibet.
Ask students several questions about the pictures, e.g.
What do you think of these pictures?
What’s the weather like there?
Do you want to go there? etc.
Talking about Tibet.
Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet? Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level. Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places. Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa. Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet. It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.

Do you want to go there? etc.
Talking about Tibet.
Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet? Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level. Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places. Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa. Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet. It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.

Objectives
To help students make use of what they learned in this unit in communication
To help students use the language by reading, listening, speaking and writing
Procedures
1. Warming up by talking about Tibet
Have you ever been to Tibet? Do you want to travel in Tibet? Can you tell me something about Tibet?
Tibet lies on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of the southwest border of China. The average height of the whole region is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, for which Tibet is known as “Roof of the World”. The highest peak of Tibet, also the highest in Himalayas and in the whole world, is Everest Peak, which is as high as 8,846.27 meters above sea level.
Although a part of China, Tibet has a unique culture of all its own. It is mainly inhabited by Tibetans, a minority nationality of old and mysterious people. Tourist attractions include the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Jokhang Temple, and a number of Buddhist sacred places.
Tibet (Xi Zang in Chinese) is to the south of Xin Jiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Qing Hai Province, to the west of Sichuan, to the northwest of Yunnan and to the north of India and Nepal. Its population of 2.3 million people come from a variety of ethnic groups including Tibetan, Han, Monba and Lhota. Its capital city is Lhasa.
Northwest Tibet, mainly Qing Hai plateau, is home to a variety of unusual and unique animals. Across the northern expanse of Tibet, you can see vast grasslands where horses, yak and sheep roam freely. The world's lowest valley, the Grand Yarlun-tzanpo River Valley lies in east Tibet.
It is freezing cold in most time of the year. Most tourists come to visit Tibet only in the warmest seasons, June, July, August and early September.
2. Reading and underlining
Now let’s go on with JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG with Wang Wei and Wang Kun. They are in Tibet now. Please turn to Page 22. Read the passage quickly and underline all the useful expressions and collocations in it. Copy them to your notebook after class as homework.
Collocations from JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG (II)
ride bicycles, climb the mountain，be great fun, reach a valley, stop to do sth., make camp, put up, after supper, go to sleep, stay awake, at midnight, become clear, so …that, the sound of the fire, travel so far, join sb., hardly wait to see, change one’s attitude.
The Mekong River
1. It begins at a glacier on a Tibetan mountain which is at an altitude of more than 5000 meters.
2. It is small and the water is clean and cold at first. Then it moves quickly and passes through deep valley.
3. Half of it is in China and it is called Lancang River in China.
4. As it enters Southeast Asia , it travels slowly through hills and low valleys, and the plains where rice grow.
3. Reading and translating
Next you are going to read the text JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG and translate it into Chinese.
4. Speaking English
Read the passage again and find the answers to the questions:
How does Wang Kun feel about the trip? (He is starting to like the trip.)
What do you think has changed his attitude? (seeing the beautiful land)
Is it natural for Wang Kun not to feel lonely? (Yes. Because the scene Wang Kun saw is beautiful. The sky was clear and the stars were bright. Also their cousins are waiting for him.)
Would you feel the same way in this situation? Why or why not? (You may have different opinions about this. Just speak it out and let us share your idea, will you?)
Imagine that the dialogue happens the next morning before Wang Kun and Wang Wei leave their camp. Write a short dialogue between them with your partner.
Wei: You look so tired Kun: Yes, I stayed up late last night.
Wei: Really? What did you do? Kun: I watched the clear sky and the bright stars.
Wei: That’s nice. They must be pretty. Kun: Yes, they were.
5. Listening
Let’s turn to page 23 and do the listening text. Before listening to the tape, please read the words fast, and then tick the words you hear on the tape. After that I’ll play the tape for the second time and then finish the chart. You should look through the chart and find out the listening points. The following questions can help you understand the listening text.
Where is the girl from? What do people in Laos use the river for? Why do people in Laos call the river “the sea of Laos”? What is the river called in Tibet and Vietnam? What other beautiful sights along the Mekong River in Laos?
6. Guided writing—Writing a short email
Now let’s do a writing practice. Imagine that you are a friend of Wang Wei. Write a short email to her and ask her to describe: how she feels, what she is doing, and some place you want to know about. Then wish her well on her journey by using at least two of these expressions:
Have a nice/good time. Have a nice/good trip. Take care.
Good luck on your journey. Say “Hello” to …. Write to me.
Give my best/love wishes to …. Have fun.
You can refer to the following steps.
In pairs choose the details from the journey that are most interesting. Think of what else you would like to know about the journey. Write these ideas down as questions.
Now choose two or three of the best questions for your letter. Each question should have another sentence explaining why you want to know this information.
Put them in an order that makes sense.
Begin your letter as shown in the textbook and add your questions for Wang Wei. Your writing should not be more than one paragraph.
Finish your letter as shown in the textbook.
A sample piece of writing
Hi, brave little Wei,
How I worry about you and Wang Kun! Do you have a good time now? I hope so. What are you doing now? Are you still in Laos? Can you tell me something about people’s life there? When are you leaving for Cambodia? When you get there, tell me about the Buddhist temples there. Please send some photos with your next letter! Well, Have a good trip and don’t forget to write to me! Give my best wishes to Wang Kun. Good luck on your journey.
Take care!
Yours,

A high school history teacher once told us, “If you make one close friend in school, you will be most fortunate. A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.” 16 teaches that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 17 .
It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 18 friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the 19 for each of us to think carefully about the 20 of friendship we want.
To most of us, friendships are 21 very important, but we need to be clear in our 22 about the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or 23 at arm’s length? Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the 24 ? For some people, many friendships on the surface are 25 enough and that’s all right. But at some point, 26 to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’ expectations. The 27 of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the 28 way to deepen friendships. But it must be developed slowly and 29 only if there are signs of interest and action in return.
What are some of the 30 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much time. Another “ 31 difficulty” is the selfishness to take actions too soon. Deep relationships require(要求) one “possesses” 32 , including his time and attention. 33 , friendships in return. In other words, you must give as much as you take. 34 there is a question of taking care of them.
35 you spend reasonable time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die away.

Young people can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people like their parents and classmates.

Going to a new school can feel like starting all over again. You may feel like sad or angry about leaving your old school or friend. You may feel excited about a new beginning or a “fresh start”. You may feel nervous about having to meet new people. All of these feelings are normal when you start at a new school.
Most kids worry about fitting in at their new school. It’s common for a new kid to feel like an outsider for the first few weeks. Although you can be lonely, you can help yourself fit in by being friendly. Even if you are nervous, try to smile, say hello and ask questions.
Here are two places where you might meet friends in a new school:
● The classroom: Look around you, is there anyone who you can talk to? Do you take part in group activities in class? If so, try to join a new group every time.
● Playground: Most schools offer many team sports. Try to join these sports.
Some kids worry about their teachers when they start a new school. Even if the teachers are supportive, it can take some time to adjust to new rules or ways of teaching. Try talking to them about your problem. Besides, with a familiar face in the front of your classroom you may feel more comfortable during the first few weeks of school.

On the first day at senior high school, Mr Whitson gave us a class about a creature called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so was it with everyone else’s in our class. What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr Whitson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why did none of us notice that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr Whitson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and nobody used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
47. Why did the students fail in the test? _______.
A. Because they asked notes while listening.
B. Because they didn’t listen to the teacher care- fully.
C. Because they didn’t show interest in what Mr Whitson said.
D. Because they didn’t think carefully.
48. The students didn’t find out it was a lie for _______.
A. they simply believed their teacher very much
B. they hadn’t watched the skull carefully enough
C. they took notes carelessly
D. Mr Whitson spoke too fast
49. What did Mr Whitson give the students the special lesson for?
A. Showing his best way of teaching.
B. Playing a joke on the students.
C. Helping the students learn lessons better
D. Making the students no longer believe him.
50. By giving such a lesson, Mr Whitson meant that _______.
A. teachers couldn’t make any mistakes
B. textbooks can’t be wrong sometimes
C. we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong
D. we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies
阅读表达题
Surely, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. But really, there’s one important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do it, “learning bursts (猛然) right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a long time teacher who writes an education column（专栏） called “teacher says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning.
As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to ________________________. Besides, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher know that, and, in most cases, is excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teacher are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they want to be teachers in the first place—to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any case, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire fighters. The computer, which works very fast, has information about all the 350,000 street addresses in the city.

The information is then sent to them by radio from the computer centre in the City Hall. The exact place of the burning building and its size, type and any other details are clear to them.

Bill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II, was a Seattle attorney (律师). Mary Gates, their late mother, was a school teacher.
Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft- ware, programming computers at age 13.
In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsoft's president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer---the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office desk-top and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
Gates' foresight and vision have led to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. He plays an important role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in contact with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.
In the dozen years since Microsoft went public, Gates has donated more than $ 800 mil- lion to charities (慈善机构), including $ 200 million to the Gates Library Foundation to help libraries in North America take advantage of new technologies and the Information Age.

47. Why did he drop out of Harvard?
A. To change school.
B. To spend all his energies to Microsoft.
C. To find a full-time job.
D. To earn money.
48. Why did they begin developing software for the personal computer?

B. Because they thought the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office
desk-top.
