课件105张PPT。Table of ContentsHow do you understand the proverb “One man’s
meat/trash is another man’s poison/treasure”? Period IMilk, lobster, and peanuts can be good to some
people but allergic to someone else.What’s good for a person is not necessarily the same with another, and vice versa.Can you give an example?“One man’s meat/trash is another man’s poison/treasure.” Suggested answer:Frogs can be helpful…Frogs can be harmful…Do you think frogs are useful or harmful animals? In what way? Discussion We cannot simply say frogs are useful or harmful because every coin has two sides. The advantages of frogs are that they can eat harmful insects and be protective of the crops, and some parts of them are medicine materials; on the other hand, some of them are poisonous to human being and sometimes they are kind of noisy. Suggested answer: Here are some useful words and expressions you may use.The coming article is about the coqui, a kind of frog. Read the following sentences and guess if they are true (T) or false (F) before you read the article.Now read the article to check your answer.FFTTT A tiny frog with a sharp noise has invaded the Big Island and won’t shut up.—Associated Press The coqui frog population has been increasing in Hawaii since 1988, but just recently exploded.—Department of Agriculture, HawaiiWhat does the Big Island refer to?What dose this sentence imply?Hawaii Experts say the American state of Hawaii has been invaded by a small frog called the coqui. There may be millions of the small frogs in Hawaii. However, they do not belong there.invade income, inborninvade -vade= to goin- + -vade= ? They are normally found in the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and in the south-eastern United States. The coqui frogs are harming Hawaii’s environment. And the extremely loud noise they make is causing problems
for Hawaiian citizens and visitors.Can you find southeast in the picture?southeast The coqui invaders arrived in Hawaii about ten years ago. They were believed to have been brought in accidentally in shipments of plants from Puerto Rico or Florida. Their numbers have sharply increased. They have quickly spread around the Hawaiian Islands, hidden in plants.What does shipment mean? The coqui is a brown frog about five centimeters long. During the day, the frogs hide in wet protected areas, such as under plant leaves. At night, the frogs move onto trees to feed, or to call to females.In their native Puerto Rico, local people celebrate coqui frogs. But in Hawaii, the foreign frog has been condemned as a harmful animal.protectprotectionThe frog is treated differently in different places. The coqui frogs are a major threat to Hawaii’s environmental system. The frogs eat thousands of insects every night. These insects are important for the reproduction of plants. And they are also important food for Hawaii’s native, rare birds.threat n.
Sb. or sth. is a threat if they are likely to harm or hurt you. The frogs are also affecting the tourism industry in Hawaii. Increasing numbers of hotels, visitors and local people have complained about the loud calls made by the coqui frogs. At night, the noise often makes it difficult for people to sleep. The call of the male coqui sounds
like: Ko-Kee! Ko-Kee! That is how they got their name.re + productionWhat is the noun of affect? The frogs do not have any natural enemies in Hawaii to reduce their population size. The warm weather permits them to lay eggs all year long. There are many efforts in Hawaii designed to stop the spread of the coqui. It is a crime to transport, sell or set the frogs free there.set freeCan you make up a sentence with crime, threaten and gun?He committed a crime
by threatening a girl

I am your neighbour, a writer. I venture to write to you a letter about the inconvenience caused by your dogs.
The focus of the complaint is the noise made by these pet animals. For one thing, the fierce dogs make a lot of noise during the day when there’s anyone walking past your garden. This seriously distracts my mind while I’m writing at home. For another, these dogs may frighten the children of the neighbourhood when the children are playing after school.
All in all, there is still much room for improvement. I do hope you can give up raising large pets like these dogs.
Thank you for your time and kind consideration.

( ) disappearance of plants and animals√√√√√How is global warming formed? Global warming is caused when carbon dioxide (CO2) gets into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide acts like the glass walls and ceiling of a greenhouse. It lets sunlight in to warm things up, but it doesn’t let the heat escape. Scientists say the same thing is happening to our planet, making
it a dangerously warmer place.Can you explain with the help of
the key words and the picture? carbon dioxide greenhousesunlight escapeWhat can global warming result in? Some species could be extinct like some butterflies.Some ice and snow on the high mountains would melt.The rain forests in Brazil could be damaged.Anything else?What does the map

According to a recent study, the warming of the Earth could destroy as many as 37 percent of the world’s living species by the year 2050!What Is Global Warming? Global warming is caused when carbon dioxide (CO2) gets into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide acts like the glass walls and ceiling of a greenhouse. It lets sunlight in to warm things up, but it doesn’t let the heat escape. Scientists say the same thing is happening to our planet, making
it a dangerously warmer place.no longer in existenceAlarming Findings The study was conducted by researchers in England who used computer models to predict what would happen to certain species if global warming continues.
The team studied 1,103 species in Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Europe, Mexico and South Africa. These regions represent about 20 percent of the Earth’s land area. The study predicted that Australia would lose over half of its more than 400 butterfly species by 2050.
“We’re already seeing biological communities respond very rapidly to climate warming,” said Chris Thomas, a biologist at the University of Leeds in England, and the head of the study.alarm clockbiologycausing worry and fear The study found that between 15 and 37 percent of the studied species could be extinct or nearly extinct by 2050. There are about 14 million plant and animal species on Earth.What Should Be Done? Researchers say businesses and governments must create new technology that limits the production of greenhouse gases. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, pollute the environment. Researchers also say that limiting carbon dioxide emissions could save 15–20 percent of species from extinction.extinct adj. The U.S. is a big part of the problem. Although the U.S. has about 4 percent of the world’s people, it produces about 25 percent of the pollution that leads to global warming. A special agreement called the United Nations’ Kyoto Protocol would limit, or cut down on, the amount of harmful gases that countries are allowed to produce. But the former President Bush has refused to sign the treaty, saying it would hurt America’s businesses.Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev signed the agreement/treaty cutting their nations’ nuclear arsenals. Plants and animals aren’t the only creatures that are in danger. Humans are at risk, too. Many scientists believe the Earth’s rising temperatures could eventually melt polar ice caps, cause sea levels to rise and deteriorate into flooding.to become worseWhat is the process of global warming? Read through the passage and put the following sentences into the correct order.1) Carbon dioxide stays around the Earth.
2) Heat from the sunlight can’t escape and makes the Earth
