Unit 4 Body language
本单元以Body Language——“体态语”为中心话题,具体涉及什么是“体态语”,如何理解“体态语”,以及“体态语”的跨文化性等。本单元的语言技能和语言知识也都是围绕“体态语”这一中心话题设计的,旨在通过单元教学,用听、说、读、写、做(表演)等多种形式,让学生正确认识和掌握“体态语”在交际中的作用和意义,使学生明确“体态语”在人类交际中的重要性,了解“体态语”在不同民族、不同文化交际中的多样性;使学生在今后的日常生活、学习、工作和交往中尽量减少或避免运用“体态语”时可能产生的误解,提高他们的“语言交际”能力和“非语言交际”能力。
?? ??这节课主要侧重在阅读部分的学习,这种对课文的理解,本节课十本单元的第一节课。本课的READING材料处于教材的第三部分,是一篇介绍性(记叙文)体裁的文章,主要介绍了各种文化背景下的“体态语”的异同,为学生提供了来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的“体态语”及其在交际中的异同和影响的具体例证。学生也可以结合自己在语言交际中所遇到的实际例子来进一步理解Communication: No problem?(交际,毫无问题可言吗?)这一主题。课后COMPREHENDING?包括八个问题(前5个旨在检查学生对阅读材料细节的理解,6~7旨在引导学生对“体态语”的意义及文化差异的思考,第8个检查学生能否通过细节进行推理判断),通过对来自不同国度、不同语言文化背景的六个角色对待男女不同性别所使用的“体态语”异同的(学生在老师指导下的自我或小组讨论后的)归纳,进一步熟悉和掌握“体态语”在不同语言文化交际中的作用和意义。
????? 在READING前面有WARMING UP和PRE-READING?两部分。WARMING UP以列表对比(填充及增补)的形式,并通过WARMING UP的活动,让学生了解有声语言与“体态语”的对应关系,了解语言意义与行为意义(“体态语”)在交际中具有同等重要的作用。同时,学生在听、说、做(即表演“体态语”的动作)中能够增进对语言交际的感性认识,为他们在阅读过程中上升到对语言交际的理性认识打下基础。PRE-READING?通过提供三个关于不同文化背景下“体态语”的问题,启发学生思考我们所学习的“语言”的目的、形式、功能。通过引导学生联系自己日常生活的实际,提高学生努力学习英语的积极性和自觉性;同时培养学生留心社会、关注生活的洞察力,为引导学生进一步“阅读”作好准备。
???? 本节课按照其在课本中的顺序将它们结合,组合成一节阅读课,均紧扣本单元话题,同时涉及到本单元的功能句,首先指导学生通过“说”(用英语发出与“体态语”相关的指令)与“做”(用“体态语”表达指令)结合来进行口语训练,同时为后面的阅读作准备调动学生阅读的积极性,在侧重阅读能力的同时注重培养学生其他方面的技能与情感文化素养,这将是一节生动有趣的阅读课。

Use the passage to help you answer the following questions.

The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.
The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.
2. What were the two mistakes that the author noticed?
He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a stranger is not acceptable. He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one man’s nose touched the other man’s hand.
3. Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance?
The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance.
4. Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones?
Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France bad a similar greeting custom – a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom – a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men.
5. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” What do you think this famous saying means?
This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs.
6. Do you agree with the author’s statement that body language is not good or bad? Why or why not?
Give your own opinions.
Step 6 Post- reading
1. Discussion
Work in groups of four. Read the following questions and then choose one to discuss together.
If you meet a foreigner who comes up close to you to talk, what countries might he be from?
How can you show him that you are uncomfortable with that?
If a girl in shorts goes into a Muslim house and a man takes her outside pointing at her shoes and shorts, what should she do? Guess why he is so particular.
What are some situations where body language is the only form of communication? Why?
2. Conclusion
Different countries have different cultures, so when people greet each other, they will have different ways. If people don’t know the cultural differences well, people may have difficulties in communicating with others throughout the world.

probable
probable在三者中可能性最强,主要强调有根有据、合情合理的推测,含有“很有可能,十有八九”的意思。构成It is probable that ...结构。作表语时,主语不能是人

Step 7 Grammar
The-ing form as the Adverbial
动词-ing形式作状语
【要点精析】
动词的-ing形式作状语时,通常都表示主语正在进行的另一动作,用来对谓语动词表示的动作加以修饰或作为陪衬。它可表示时间、结果、条件、让步、方式或伴随动作,相当于相应的状语从句。
-ing形式作状语 可以表示时间, 原因, 结果,条件, 行为方式或伴随动作等。如:
1) Using your head, you’ll find a good way.条件
2) Four people entered the room looking around in a curious way.
= Four people enter the room and looked around in a curious way. ( 伴随动作)

(= As she hasn’t received any news from home for a long time, she is…)
3. Hoping to get our support(=As they hoped to get our support), they sent us their statement.
三、表示条件(多置于句首)
1. Working hard(=If you work hard), you will succeed.
四、表示结果(多置于句末)1. The snow lasted a week, leading to a serious traffic jam in the whole area.
=The snow lasted a week, so it led to a serious traffic jam in the whole area.
2. His parents died, leaving him a lot of money.
五、表示方式和伴随(多置于句末)
-ing形式作方式状语或伴随状语,用来对谓语动词表示的动作或状态加以说明。一般来说,-ing形式表示的动作和谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生。它没有相应的状语从句可以代替。例如:
1. She sat at the desk reading a newspaper.
= She was sitting at the desk and read a newspaper.
2. Many people come to the parks, looking for relaxations and entertainment.
3. A second Disneyland was opened on the east coast, costing between $500 and $600 million.
4. They walked on the way home, singing and laughing.
注意:
(一) -ing形式作状语时, 它的逻辑主语必须与主句的主语是一致的。
Time permitting, I will pay a visit to the whole city.
(分词的逻辑主语是time , 而句子的主语是I , 两者不构成主谓关系, 所以只能用独立主格结构, 也就是给现在分词补充一个主语。)
You see her step back appearing surprised.
= You see her step back and she appears surprised.
They also express their feelings using unspoken language.
=They also express their feelings by the way of using unspoken language.
They are visitors coming from several countries.
= They are visitors who come from several countries.
This is an exciting experience.
= This is an experience which is exciting.
Seeing its mother, the baby smiled.
=When the baby saw its mother, it smiled.
注:为强调与谓语动词的动作同时发生,在 -ing形式之前可用连词when或while.
如:Be careful when crossing the street.
另外:-ing形式的完成式having done 表示其动作发生在谓语动词的动作之前,一般作时间或原因状语。例如:
Having finished the homework, she went shopping
[典型例题]
1. European football is played in 80 countries, ____ (make) it the most popular sport in the world.
析:分析语境逻辑可知该空应填making作状语,空档前面的逗号是个验证。
2. The secretary worked late into the night, ____ ( prepare)a long speech for the president.
析:语境逻辑表明为董事长准备一篇长篇讲稿是秘书工作到深夜的伴随性状况,所以应选preparing作伴随状语。
[方法揭秘]
分析语境逻辑,弄清空格是否作时间、原因或伴随状语,从而确定空格的非谓语性质;分析动作是主动还是被动,从而确定空格的-ing形式的语态;空格设置在句子后半部时逗号是一个重要的提示。
2. ___ (lost) his key, he couldn’t enter the room.
析:分析语境逻辑可知丢钥匙动作应发生在进房间的动作之前,所以该空应选A。本题说明-ing形式作状语时应注意时态的一致性。
(二)考查when/while+ -ing形式作时间状语
[考点说明] when/while+ -ing形式可作时间状语,谓语动词动作常发生在-ing形式所表示的动作的过程中。 例如:
___riding a bike he fell down to the ground.
A. As B. While C. As soon as D. Immediately
析:B。分析语境逻辑可知跌到在地的动作发生在骑自行车的过程中,因此应用While
(三)考查-ing形式作状语的创新形式
[考点说明]名词、代词+ -ing形式可构成独立主格结构作时间、条件、原因、或伴随状语,此时-ing形式的逻辑主语为前面的名词或代词。
1.-ing形式独立主格结构作状语
[典型例题]
The moon _______(appear), we came to the foot of the mountain.
析: 该句意为:月亮出来时,我们在山脚下。appearing 和 the moon构成独立主格结构作时间状语。
Weather_____ (permit), we’ll go swimming this afternoon.
析:A。 该句意为:如果天气允许,我们今天下午去游泳。 permitting 与其逻辑主语weather构成独立主格结构作条件状语。
[方法揭秘]解题时应牢记-ing形式独立主格结构作状语与-ing形式作状语用法完全相同,只不过独立主格结构中-ing形式逻辑主语为前面的名词或代词。而-ing形式作状语时其逻辑主语是句子的主语。
2.考查on/upon+ -ing形式作时间状语
[考点说明] on/upon+ -ing形式作时间状语,-ing形式所表示的动作与谓语动词动作同时发生。
[典型例题] ___my arriving in Beijing, I’ll write to you.
A. In B. At C. On D. With
析:C.语境逻辑制约该空表“一… 就…”应填On
[方法揭秘]分析ing形式所表示的动作与谓语动词动作是否同时发生从而确定前面是否加on.

Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fair Lake Park. Upon entering the park, ① the beautiful flowers and green trees came into sight. The visitors enjoyed themselves so much that they all took pictures standing under the trees. ② I was enjoying the flowers in blossom, But a displeasing picture entered my eyes. I noticed a young couple in a boat eating, talking and laughing loudly. ③They were spitting and throwing rubbish such as banana skins into the lake, ignoring the sign “Don’t Litter!” near the bank. ④
Dear friends, mind your behavior in public places. Be kind to the environment. How to improve their behaviors in the public places, I think, is that we must promote the public’s awareness through various activities concerning morality. ⑤Everyone must remember : No matter where we go, no matter what we do, we should mind our behaviors in public places. ⑥
【教师点评】
全文语言流利,结构清晰,层次分明,叙述有条理,生活气息浓郁。作者对图片的理解准确到位(大声喧哗,往湖中扔垃圾,吐痰等),内容翔实。作者提出:公共场所的文明秩序要靠每一个人从自身的行为举止做起,富有教育意义。文中简单句和复合句的交替使用,使得对画面的描写很生动,尤其是结束段中 How to improve their behaviors in the public places, I think, is that …和No matter where we go, no matter what we do, we should …的使用使得语气铿锵有力,具有感召力,文中过渡语的使用为文章增色不少,彰显了作者较强的语言驾驭能力。
① upon entering the park准确地表达了“一到那儿”这一事实,表现了作者陶醉于自然的愉悦心情,虽和as soon as we got to the park有异曲同工之效,但前者更为简洁.更富于文采②这是一个so…that…引导的状语从句,不仅使语言简洁,也提升了文章的语言档次。
③此句它思是“看到某人在做……”,其中doing为宾语补足语,使用此结构比用一个宾语从句更加简洁明了。
④ 分词短语ignoring the sign…的使用,比without noticing显得画面意思的表达更加生动形象。
⑤作者使用“how to do”结构和个that引导的表语从句,句子结构虽然复杂,但准确无误,展示了作者高超的英语语言运用技巧。
⑥文章以两个no matter引导的状语从句收笔,作者号召大家在公共场所应注意自身行为。增强了整篇文章的感染力。
【高考范文】
Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds singing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eye. A young couple in a boat were eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. What’s worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, totally ignoring the noticeable sign "No Littering" nearby. What a shame!
Such behavior left me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places. Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
