V. Teaching Procedures
Step1: Lead-in
Ask the students to look at the sentence example of exercise 1 on page 21. And translate it into Chinese. (suggested answers: 经过一段时间，我就已经被改变了很多。)
Finish Exercise 1.
Ask the students to find out the tense and the voice of all these sentences.
Tell them these are present perfect passive voice.
Step 2: Grammar Introduction
1. Review the present perfect tense:
现在完成时(have/has + 过去分词)
现在完成时的动作或情况虽然发生在过去，但它强调的是与现在的关系，用来说明现在的情况。现在完成时不能与表示确定的过去时间的状语连用, 如: yesterday, two weeks ago, in 1978, when I got there 等, 现在完成时常与 already, always, often, ever, never, yet, not...yet, just等不表示明确的时间副词连用, 还可以和表示时间一直延续到目前的带since, for 的状语及包括现在在内的词连用。如: now, today, this month, this year, recently, these few days 等。不能用在现在完成进行时态的动词，如：be, have, like, love, know, believe, hate等。
一般过去时则是表示过去某时发生的动作或情况, 与现在毫无关系。
E.g. I have lived here for three years
I lived here three years ago.
2. Review the passive voice we learned in last unit
① do/does----am/is/are done
② did---was/were done
③ will do---will be done
④ am/is/are doing---am/is/are being done
⑤ was/were doing---was/were being done
⑥ has/have done---has/have been done
⑦ had done---had been done （tell the students a rule: 将主动变为被动，就是将谓语动词给抽出来，将他变成be done, 然后再将相应的事态添加上去）
Step 3: Grammar Rules
1. 现在完成时的被动语态表示动作发生在过去, 到现在已经完成或对现在仍有影响, 其构成是: have/has been + done。例如：
1）脏衣服都已经洗了。
The dirty clothes have been washed.
2）这项计划已经由专家研究过三次了。
The plan has been studied by the experts for three times.
Attention：
1. 副词的位置
often, usually, always, never, hardly, seldom等副词置于have/has和been中间。如:
[误] Such a man has been hardly believed.
[正] Such a man has hardly been believed.
2. 并不是所有动词都有被动语态
1) happen, take place, break out, belong to, cost, last等不及物动词或词组无被动语态。如：
[误] Great changes have been taken place in China since 1978.
[正] Great changes have taken place in China since 1978.
2) open, break, drop等不强调动作发出者时常用主动语态。如：
[误] The door has been opened of itself.
[正] The door has opened of itself.
4. 一些特殊动词, 如borrow, finish, begin, buy, start, return, marry, open, join等构成的现在完成时的被动语态不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。若要表达相应的意思， 则需改换动词或时态。如：
My brother has had(不能用has bought) this bike for almost four years.
[误]How long has this book been bought
[正]How long ago was this book bought
5. 现在完成时被动态：have / has + been + 动词过去分词
现在完成进行时：have / has + been + 动词现在分词
E.g. The child has been taken care of by Grandma Wang all these years.
Grandma Wang has been taking care of the child all these years.
Step 4: Exercises
1. Change the following sentences from active voice to passive voice
1) All the people laughed at him. ------He was laughed at by all people.
2) I have asked her to help you. ------- She has been asked to help you.
3) I have given him the key. -------He has been given the key.
The key has been given (to) him.
They have finished the construction of the new railway lines by now.
-----The construction of the new railway lines has been finished by them by now.
We have built a new library and a gymnasium in our school this year.
-----A new library and a gymnasium have been built in our school this year by us.
6）The car factory has produced a great many fine cars since the technological revolution.
-----A great many fine cars have been produced by the car factory since the technological revolution.

三、教学设计
(一) 总体设计
本节课是阅读课,教学重点是培养学生的阅读策略和技巧,同时引导学生用所学的语言知识及写作技巧完成课后的书面表达练习（P20 Ex3）。
为了激发学生的好奇心和求知欲，教师首先给出一系列的图片,简单展示出计算机发展的历史,从算盘发展到现代的智能机器人, 学生可以了解到科技的迅速发展以及日新月异,并让他们猜想智能机器人的下一代是什么, 从而使学生对课文产生了自己想来看的欲望。阅读活动分为读前、读中、读后三个阶段，教师设计了小组讨论寻找计算机发展历程中各个阶段出现的机器的共同点, 略读文章概括中心内容, 寻读按照时间顺序找出各个时间点发生的事件,细读填写表格, 理解文章难句,复述课文, 口语表达等任务。总结部分旨在引导学生分析文章结构及写作技巧，为课后的写作训练做准备： 作业部分旨在巩固新词以及培养学生的书面表达能力。
教学流程
（二）教学过程
Step 1: Lead-in (5 minutes)
Look at seven pictures of abacus, calculator, huge computer, PC, laptop, PDA, robot and then have a discussion (2 minutes) about their commonness and answer it with the sentence patterns given below:
I think that…
In my opinion…
I believe that…
What’s your reason
Why do you think so
Ask the students to guess what will be the next development and ask the students to draw pictures of the next development in their own minds (ask one to draw on blackboard to share his /her idea.).
【设计说明】
教师通过多媒体呈现有关计算机发展历史的各种图片，让学生了解到计算机的发展历程，并让学生猜想下一代计算机的样子及性能从而整发他们想说英语的兴趣。通过学生的想象，引入主题，容易使学生产生强烈的好奇心，为下一步阅读活动做好了铺垫。
Step 2: Pre-reading (5 minutes)
Skim the text find out the answers to the following two questions:
Who is “I”
Who was the first person to event the earliest computer
Who was the next important person to design computers
Try to find out the main idea of this passage.
【设计说明】
文章的阅读要从标题开始，这篇文章第一人称叙述，并运用了拟人的手法来写，标题“WHO AM I”马上使学生有好奇并想读的欲望，而此时学生略读文章肯定最想找到的是到底“我”是谁，教师给学生布置的这三个问题就将文章最主要的主人公都提到了。接着让学生归纳文章大意，这是另一个学生在学习过程中应该掌握的重要技巧。而且可以使学生对文章的主题，文章的概况进初步的了解。
Step 3: While-reading (20 minutes)
Find the topic sentences of each paragraph.
（suggested answers）
Para1: Over time, I have been changed a lot.
Para 2: These changes only became as possible as my memory improved.
Para 3: Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me.
【设计说明】
如何准确、快速地找到主题句是一种重要的阅读技巧，主题句通常出现在段落的首句或尾句。 这一环节要求学生通过寻找段落主题句快速浏览文章，找出各段主题句，目的是引导学生运用阅读技巧寻找段落主题句，了解文章的主要内容。
Scan the text and finish EX1 on page 19 （a timeline table）
（suggested answers）
1642: The computer began as a calculating machine.

A sample
I, a computer, was a calculating machine in 1642 in France. Then I was built as an Analytical Machine in 1822, which was a technological revolution. I became a “universal machine” in 1936 to solve any mathematical problem. I was not very big at first, but then I became huge, the size of a large room before I was made smaller and smaller.
Getting new transistors in 1960s, I became cleverer and quicker. I was connected with other computers and turned out to part of a notebook in the early 1960. Then I began talking to human using BASIC in the early 1960s. In the 1970s, I was brought into people’s homes, and came the Internet.
