【教学过程】
Step 1 Lead in
Have the Ss read “Learning to learn” carefully first, make sure they know how to read a chart so that they can know what the chart shows in Activity 1. And then answer the questions.
Questions:
What key information is shown in this chart?
（The number of marathon participants in China is increasing.）
What reasons lie behind the phenomenon?
（More and more people are pursuing a healthier lifestyle and challenging themselves. Moreover, marathons can stimulate economic growth and promote the development of the sports industry. Last but not least, marathons can increase people's enthusiasm for participation in sports and improve their physical fitness.）
Step 2 Reading
1. Read the passage and find out your understanding of the title.
（Running can bring a lot of benefits to us, both physically and mentally. It may improve our physical condition, bring us confidence, help us make new friends and reduce stress from work.）
2. Pay attention to the language points in the passage:
(1)I was born with asthma and I never thought I'd be a runner!
be born with sth为固定搭配，意为“生来就有某种疾病、性格等”。
例如：She was born with a weak heart. (她天生心脏就不好。）
born的常用搭配还有：
be born in,例如：I was born in 1989/London. (我出生于1989年/在伦敦。）
be born into,例如：She was born into a musical family. (她出生于音乐世家。）
be born+形容词，例如：She was born blind. (她生来便双目失明。）
(2)It lists your performance against other runners in your social network.
教师可以着重讲解against在本句中的用法。在这里against意为“与……相比”。例如：What's the exchange rate for RMB against the US dollar? (人民币对美元的汇率是多少？)
Step 3 Group work
Task 1. Have the Ss find out their reasons for starting running and benefits gained from running in the passage.
Task 2. Then complete the table and check the answers with the class.

4. Do you know of any running events in China? Have you ever participated in any of them?
Step 5 Retell and act.
1. Get the Ss to use some notes to help plan the talk. Such as:
Runner’s name, age, when he/she started running, what he/she thinks about running...
2. Organize your talk following the steps below.
·Give details about the runner.

Understanding ideas
【教学目标】

2. 通过阅读课文，锻炼学生能在略读课文的同时快速找到相关信息的能力，让学生迅速找出并理解足球这项运动风靡世界的三个原因；
3. 引导学生分析作者的写作意图，理解细节信息；锻炼学生深入思考和探究主题的能力。
【教学重难点】

【教学过程】
Step 1 Warming up
Questions:
1. What do you know about football?
2. Can you say something more about football in China?
3. Could you please introduce some facts about football to us?
Ask some Ss to share their views about the questions and then teacher presents more information about football to make them understand football.
Step 2 Before reading
Activity 1
Talk about what you think these things represent in a football game.
Have the Ss discuss in groups and share what they know about football, including terms, rules, etc. Then encourage the Ss to report the result of their discussion.
Some facts about football:
?A football match consists of two 45-minute halves with a 15-minute rest period in
between. The sport is played by two teams of 11 players (including one goalkeeper wearing gloves). The team captain is usually identified by the wearing of an armband with the letter “C” on it or other personalized patterns.
?Each game must include one referee and two assistant referees (linesmen). It’s the job of the referee to act as timekeeper and make any decisions such as fouls, free kicks, throw-ins and penalties.
?A player could receive either a yellow or red card if they commit a foul. The yellow card is a warning, while the red card results in the dismissal of that player. Two yellow cards will equal one red card. Once a player is sent off, they cannot be replaced.
?Corner flags are used to make it easy for referees to tell if the ball crosses the touchline (which results in a throw-in) or the end line (which results in a goal kick or corner kick).
If the ball hits a corner flag and bounces back onto the field, it is still in play!
?A “hat trick” occurs in football when a player scores three goals in a single game.
Step 3 While reading
Activity 2
Read the passage and find out where modern football started.
1. Ask the Ss to go through the question and make sure what the point is that they should find out when reading for the first time.
2. After the first reading, have several Ss answers the question “Where did modern football started?”, then check the answers.
3. Pay attention to the language points during reading.
(1) That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity.
首先，引导学生找出整句话的主语，当学生回答That football is such a simple game to play之后，引导学生判断这是一个句子还是一个短语。当学生做出回答后，相机引入概念：在一个复合句中，由一个句子作主语时，这个句子叫主语从句。然后请学生观察这个主语从句，分析句子开头为何要加that,继而总结出主语从句的用法。
(2) It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
break down可以按照字面意思理解，意为“打倒，砸破”，其英文释义为：If you break down a door or barrier, you hit it so hard that it falls to the ground.教师可以进一步讲解该短语的其他常见含义和用法。
1)意为“（机器、车辆等）停止运转，出故障”。例如：Their car broke down. (他们的车坏了。）
2)意为“（讨论、关系等）失败”。例如：Talks with business leaders broke down last night. (昨晚与企业领导人的谈话以失败告终。
3)意为“禁不住哭出来”。例如：When I heard the bad news, I broke down and cried. (听到这个坏消息，我忍不住哭了起来。）
另外，短语 bring sb together 意为 to make people have a better relationship or feel closer to each other,即“使团结起来”。
(3)I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.
教师应着重讲解本句中assure的用法，assure在这里意为to tell someone that something will definitely happen or is definitely true。例如：The document is genuine, I can assure you. (我能向你保证，这个文件是真的。）教师可进一步讲解assure的常用搭配。
1)assure sb that意为“向某人保证……”。例如：The doctor has assured us that she’ll be fine. (医生向我们保证她会没事的。）
2)assure sb of sth意为“向某人保证某事”。例如：The art dealer had assured me of the painting’s quality. (艺术品经销商向我保证过画的质量。）
Activity 3
Have the Ss go through the four purposes on page 24 and then ask them to choose the author’s purpose in writing the passage, then check the answer.
Activity 4
1. Have the Ss read the passage again and ask them to complete the chart with expressions from the passage, then check the answers in whole class.
2. Get some Ss to read the sentences in the chart. Then try to retell the passage in groups according to the chart.
Step 4 Think and Share
What’s your understanding of the last sentence of the passage?
What other sports as popular as football in China? What makes them so popular?
Have the Ss discuss the questions in groups, and then get several Ss to answer the questions. Open answers to these two questions.
Step 5 Homework
Review the main idea of the passage and the language points.
Unit 3 On the move
Using language
【教学目标】
1. 掌握本课的重要词汇与句式；
2. 使学生能够了解并掌握不定式作定语和结果状语的用法，并在真实语境中灵活运用。
【教学重难点】
使学生能够了解并掌握不定式作定语和结果状语的用法，并在真实语境中灵活运用。
【教学过程】
Step 1 课前自学
请同学们阅读并理解以下内容。
一、基本特征感悟
【感悟用法】
①That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity.
②He studied hard only to fail.
【自我总结】
句①中的 to play是不定式，作game的定语。句②中的 to fail 是不定式，作结果状语。
二、主要用法精讲
1.动词不定式作定语
(1)动词不定式作定语常用来修饰名词或不定代词，放于所修饰的词后，为后置定语。
There is nothing to worry about.没什么可担心的。
The best way to raise money is to sell newspapers.
筹集资金最好的方式是卖报纸。
(2)如果不定式动词与被修饰词之间有逻辑上的动宾关系，并且该动词是不及物动词，则需要加上适当的介词或副词使动宾关系成立。
When you move somewhere new，the first thing for you is to find a place to live in.当你搬到一个新的地方时，首先要找一个住处。
2.动词不定式作结果状语
(1)动词不定式表示结果时，其逻辑主语就是句子的主语。结果状语常常只限于learn(得知)，find(发现)，see，hear，to be told(被告知)，make(使得)等具有界限含义的动词。
He returned home to learn his daughter had just been engaged.
他回家后得知女儿刚刚订婚了。
Dinosaurs have completely died out on the earth，never to be seen again.
恐龙已经从地球上灭绝，将永不再被看到。
He left his home，never to be heard from again.他离开了家，从此音信全无。
(2)动词不定式作结果状语的特殊结构
①only to do结构表示意外的结果
He hurried to the station，only to find the train had left.
他匆匆忙忙赶到车站，结果却发现火车已经离开了。
He worked hard，only to fail at last.他努力工作，最终结果却是失败。
②too...to...结构
The case was too heavy to be carried by a child.箱子太重小孩拿不动。
③so as to do结构
He shut himself in the room so as not to be disturbed.
他把自己关在屋里以免受到打扰。
④enough to do结构
The girl is not old enough to go to school.这个女孩不够大，不能上学。
Step 2 语法探究
动词不定式为非谓语动词。在英语语法中，动词不定式是指动词中的一种不带词形变化从而不指示人称、数量、时态的一种形式。它之所以被称作不定式，是因为动词不被限定，或者说不被词形变化所局限。
Step 3 自学检测
补全句子
Who was __________________?
谁第一个到的？
Pandas have less and less land __________________.
大熊猫可生存的面积越来越小。
The best way __________________ is to use it.
学英语最好的方法是使用它。
—Where should I send my application? 我应该把申请表寄到哪里？
—The personnel office is the place __________________. 把它送到人事部去。
His failure __________________ was due to his ill health.
那天晚上他没来是因为他身体不好。

3．用从句重新书写句子，句意不变。
Step 4．教师讲解
1. 核对同学们自学检测的答案。

3. 让学生把从课文中找到的带有非谓语动词的句子，然后转换为定语从句和结果状语从句，并与原句进行对比。
Step 5．小组合作学习

Step 6．实践活动
1. 独立完成课本29页活动2。
