Choose a day that is not stressful to quit smoking. Make a list of all the benefits you will get from stopping smoking. Throw away all your cigarettes at the end of the day before you plan to quit. Reread the list of benefits you wrote when you feel like smoking. Develop some other habits like walking, drinking some water, cleaning the house and so on to keep yourself busy. If you feel nervous or stressed, try to do some relaxation exercises like deep breathing. You can stop smoking with a friend or join a group. If you feel really bad, ask a doctor or chemist for help. The most important thing is to keep trying. Don’t feel ashamed if you weaken because some people have to try many times before they finally quit smoking. Never give up and you will succeed.

Top 10 Tips to Quit Smoking
Ready to quit smoking? Here are 10 tips to help ensure your success.www-2-1-cnjy-com
1. Identify your smoking triggers. Keep a record of when you smoke to identify your triggers so that you can make a plan to manage triggers without smoking.
2. Talk to your doctor. Consult your doctor before you quit smoking. Modern pharmaceutical treatments can make quitting easier. Moreover, tobacco may impact the way your body processes certain medications.
3. Get support from your family and friends. Let them know you are quitting smoking and you want their help.
4. Make a clean start. Throw away your cigarettes, hide your ashtrays, clean the house, your clothes, and the car if they smell like smoke — anything to help make a break from the past.
5. Make a list of reasons to quit. Look at it every time you are tempted to have a smoke.
6. Keep objects around that you can put in your mouth. Items such as carrots, hard candy, even straws can give you something to do when you really crave a cigarette. 【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
7. Drink lots of water. Water will help flush nicotine from your system and reduce the intensity of withdrawal symptoms.
8. Exercise. Not only will it make controlling your weight easier, it also gives you more energy and helps keep your mind from smoking.
9. Get a hair cut. Anything you can do to draw a clear line between your life as a smoker and your new life as a nonsmoker will make quitting easier and make you more likely to stay smoke free.

Step Ⅱ Lead-in
Lead the Ss to the topic of AIDS.
Write the words AIDS and HIV on the blackboard. The teacher can also show some pictures of AIDS patients to the Ss to let them have a deep impression of the disease.
Which day is the World AIDS Day?
1st December.
What is the theme of World AIDS Day 2005?
Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise.
Before we read a poster about AIDS and HIV, I’d like to test you on your understanding of them. Please turn to page 23. Decide which of the statements in Exercise 2 are true and which are false. Tick the correct boxes.
About 2 minutes later. Ask one student to read out the true statements. This test will enable the teacher to know how much the Ss know about AIDS and HIV.
Step Ⅲ Reading
Let the Ss read the poster and do some comprehensive practice.
Skim the poster and tell what we can learn from it.
We will learn how HIV affects a person’s health and the relationship between HIV and AIDS. We will also learn how to stay away from HIV.
Now read the poster again and answer the following questions. Show the following questions on the screen.
1. What is a virus? Can you name some viruses?
2. How does HIV affect people’s health?
3. What is the difference between AIDS and HIV?
4. Is there a cure for AIDS and HIV at the moment?
Several minutes later.
1.A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease.Such as SARS virus, bird flu virus and flu virus.
2.HIV virus weakens a person’s immune system and eventually it damages the immune system so much that the body can no longer fight against disease.
3. HIV is a virus, while AIDS is the stage of the illness caused by HIV.
4. No, there is no known cure for HIV and AIDS.
Though there is no cure that will clear HIV from the body, there are treatments that can help keep people with HIV and AIDS healthy. Some help to keep the immune system intact by lowering the amount of HIV in the body. Others help to prevent certain infections that someone with AIDS is at risk for when his or her immune system becomes very weak.
Now scan the poster and pick out the words which are related to disease.
Show the words related to diseases on the screen.
HIV, AIDS, virus, flu, immune system, illness, fluids, infected, inject, injection, cure
Scan the poster again and find how to stay safe. Then I’d like some of you to retell the suggestions in your own words.
After reading these facts, you will know how serious this issue is. And think what you can do to help those with AIDS and HIV. Show the following facts on the screen.
●By the end of 2003, an estimated 42 million around the world were living with HIV / AIDS. During the year, 5 million people became infected and an estimated 3 million people died.
●About one-third of people living with HIV / AIDS are 15-24 years of age.

●According to the latest estimates by UNAIDS, more than US$10 billion will be needed in 2005 to pay the cost of effective prevention, treatment, care and support programs in low and middle income countries.
Step Ⅳ Reading Task (Workbook)
Ask the Ss to read a newspaper article about AIDS programme in Yunnan and learn what people can do to help AIDS sufferers.
As a matter of fact, many people and organizations have launched programmes to help persons with AIDS and HIV. Next, we will read about such a programme. This programme is started by the Chinese Red Cross in Yunnan. You know that Yunnan has the largest numbers of both HIV carriers and AIDS patients nationwide. Please turn to page 60, read the newspaper article and find answers to the questions followed. After the Ss finish reading, collect the answers.
Sample answers:
1. The programme does two things: provide care and support for AIDS sufferers; train young people to teach others about HIV / AIDS.
2. The volunteers, students, drug users, people who work in the entertainment business and others who may be at risk of becoming infected by the virus teach people in the community.
3. The programme is very successful because the workshops are given by people just like them.
4. Nowadays, the number of young people becoming infected through sexual activity is increasing. While in the past, HIV / AIDS was found mainly among drug users and those who had become infected through careless blood transfusion practices.
5. The Chinese government concerns about HIV / AIDS because it predicts that unless action is taken immediately, as many as 10 million people could be infected with HIV / AIDS in China by the year 2010.
Step Ⅴ Homework
After class, please get to know more about organizations and programmes which care and support for persons with HIV / AIDS, and think what you can do to be helpful.
The Fifth Period Integrating Skills
Step ⅠRevision
Greet the Ss as usual and check their homework.
Sample answers:
The Red Ribbon
The Red Ribbon is an international symbol of AIDS awareness that is worn by people all year round and particularly around World AIDS Day to demonstrate care and concern about HIV and AIDS, and to remind others of the need for their support and commitment. The Red Ribbon started as a “grass roots” effort, and as a result there is no official red ribbon, and many people make their own. It’s easily done — just use some ordinary red ribbon and a safety pin!
How you can support World AIDS Day
By raising awareness of HIV and AIDS in your area.
By wearing a red ribbon, and asking others to do the same.
By protecting yourself — this is the first and the best way to stop the spread of HIV.
If you are worried — get tested.
Step Ⅱ Speaking (P59)
In this step, the Ss will prepare and give a speech on a particular health issue. Let them work with partners and help each other improve their speeches.
After you choose a topic, please discuss some questions about the topic with your partners.Show the following questions on the screen.
1. How does this issue affect your health?
2. How could it affect your school life?
3. Think of four or five suggestions that you would give younger students to make sure they do not put their health at risk.
After discussion, let the Ss work on their own to plan the speech.
T: It seems that most of you have finished. I’d like two of you to give your speech to the class. Any volunteer?
1. Eat plenty of fiber, pulses, whole grains, foods made with wholegrain flour, fruit and vegetables give you the benefit of fiber as well as its associated essential fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. Grains are better only coarsely ground.
2. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, especially green leafy ones. These can give you the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and fiber you need. Peel the fruit as little as possible. Cook vegetables lightly by steaming or stir frying, and eat some raw everyday to benefit from their hormones and enzymes.
3. Cut down your fat intake. Choose fish, organ meat, game, poultry, whole grains, pulses, nuts and seeds, or sprouted seeds, rather than red meat and cheese.
4. Cut down your sugar intake. Use sugar as flavoring rather than as a food. Avoid cakes, sweets, chocolates, biscuits, puddings, ice creams, jam, fruits canned in syrup, soft drinks, sugar in tea and coffee, and milk shakes.21*cnjy*com
5. Cut down your salt intake. Instead of adding salt to your food, use herbs, spices, fresh ginger, horseradish, lemon juice, tomato puree, vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable stock, yeast extract, chutney, and other flavorings.
6. Cut down your consumption of processed food to avoid the “empty calories” of saturated fats, added sugar, refined cereal grains, and additives.
7. Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.
8. If you are overweight, exercise more and consume the amount of food and drink that will enable you to reach and keep to your optimal body weight.
Step Ⅲ Writing (P24)
Ask the Ss to read the letter on page 24 and then write a letter as a reply. This is a practice of giving advice.
Dear Xiaolei,
I am very glad to hear from you. It’s great that you have realized the harm of smoking and make up your mind to give it up. I know how it is hard to give up smoking, so I can understand your feelings. But be aware, some people have to try several times before they finally stop smoking. The point is to keep trying. Here are some tips for you.
1. Cut down on caffeine. Your body is detoxifying and caffeine has a greater impact on causing nervousness.
2. Drink more water to flush nicotine from your body.
3. Walk briskly for half an hour a day. You’ll be more positive, burn up stress and calories and develop more energy and endurance.
4. Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, fully expanding your chest. Breathe out through your mouth. Do this about 6 times.
5. Use your plumbing. If you feel like crying, cry and let it out. If you feel angry, give a powerful yell or hit a pillow and feel better with the release.
6. Recovery time: if your body wants 12 hours of sleep to heal, make time for it.
7. Cleanse your body, hands, breath, clothes, hair, car and home of traces of smoke as much as possible. Throw away ashtrays, lighters, etc.
8. Place an elastic on your wrist. If you crave a cigarette, pull the elastic and give yourself a sting. This will help decondition the cravings.
9. Place cigarettes in a large pop bottle with water. If you feel like a cigarette, smell the bottle odor. This will turn you off from cigarettes.
10. Should you by chance have 1 cigarette, do not feel you have “blown the program”. There is no need to feel angry or guilty. Just learn from the mistake, to achieve 100% success. Guilt or self-blame only makes people smoke more.
Step Ⅳ Writing (P61)
Ask the Ss to summarize the news article on HIV / AIDS on page 60 by using simple language.
A sample version:
Successful AIDS Programme in Yunnan
Chinese Red Cross started an AIDS programme in Yunnan province six years ago, and now it is running in several other provinces including Xinjiang, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian and Jilin.
The programme does two things: provides care and support for AIDS patients; trains young people to teach others about HIV / AIDS. The volunteers of the programme hold classes to teach people about the virus and how it is spread. Many students, drug users, people who work in the entertainment business and others also take part in the programme.
As more and more young people become infected through sexual activity, the director of the programme said that HIV / AIDS are related to everyone’s life. While in the past, HIV / AIDS were mainly infected through drug injection and careless blood transfusion.
The Chinese government predicts that there will be about 10 million people infected with HIV / AIDS in China by the year 2010 if we don’t take any action now. So in June 2001, Chinese central government announced a plan to deal with the problem. That is to teach people more about the virus, and build a national system to report about the virus and be careful when collecting blood.
Step Ⅴ Homework
