两者都表示“从事于”的意思，但不可混淆。on和at的选择要依据其后带的宾语来确定。如果工作后，宾语本身不发生变化时，用介词at；如果工作后，宾语本身发生变化时，用介词on。
例如：he is working (hard) at his lessons.
（lessons本身还是lessons，没有变化，但他是长进了）
he is working on his bike.
（bike通过他工作后，会由“坏”变“好”，bike本身是变化的）

这里其实选on或者at 都对，但表达的意思是不同的，用on时，表示“她在修改……”；用at时，表示“她在阅读……”。

england refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of great britain. the united kingdom is the name of the state and is the official name of the country.
finally, the british commonwealth is the present name for what is left of the british empire and the rising tide of national liberation movement throughout the world.
*b*being not far from the sea, london is famous for its fogs(雾). the worst of them happened on december 4, 1952. all movement in the town came to a stop. it was almost impossible to drive or ride in anything. the streets which led into the centre were filled with buses that moved two miles an hour. soon, however, the traffic was stopped. being left by their drivers, the buses and cars stood empty in the streets. many who usually traveled by bus took underground. but there were so many people there that the gates had to be closed. being caught in the fog, people felt their way along the walls of houses with one hand, which they put out the other in front of them so as not to knock against something or somebody.
at the opera house they got through the first act(幕) of la traviata before so much fog had spread(蔓延) into the building that the singers could not see the conductor.
it was a terrible fog, indeed, and as many as 4000 people in london lost their lives.

listen to the tape and find out the answers to the questions.
tape description: people invented poetry as they help to remember things. before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things. people early discovered that rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when they are trying to remember things. so they made poems to help them remember all the things they needed to know and passed on from generation to generation. for example to remember their history. they recited great stories about their ancestors and the wars that were fought.
(collect the answers from the students.)
t: yes. before the invention of writing, there was no other way but to remember important things.
and rhyme and rhythm were very helpful when people are trying to remember things. that’s why our ancestors invented poetry.
step 5. listening and imitating.
t: ok. poems are helpful to remember things. but what things can they help us remember? please listen to the following examples and find out some of the ways.
1.we can learn and remember important dates in history using rhyme. the rhyme most famous of these is: “in 1492, columbus sailed the ocean blue” to remember that it was in 1492 that columbus discovered the americas.
2.there are also short lines to remember how many days each month has. “30 days has september, april, june and november. the rest have 31. fine! february 28 except when 29.”
3.we can even learn had spelling with words from a short poem. the words ‘receive’ sounds like ‘believe’. but the spelling is not the same. listen to the following short poem, it is very useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in english and it always works.
“i” before “e” except after “c” or when sounding like [ei] as in “neighbour” and “way”.
suggested answers:
rhyme 1 is useful to remember important dates in history. (to remember that it was in 1492 that columbus discovered the americas)
rhyme 2 is useful to remember how many days each month has.
rhyme 3 is useful to help students learn and remember how to spell some difficult words in english.
rhymes and rhythms are helpful. do you use poetry to remember things?
who sometimes still uses poetry to remember things today?
(collect answers then listen to the following.)
but people also need to remember practical things such as where to find good cages to sleep, where to find water that could be drunk or when to plant crops. we no longer need poetry to remember things. but it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t or coundn’t use it to help us remember things better.
so anyone who want to remember things better can still use poetry to remember things.
step 6. post-listening
you’ve done a good job today. let’s enjoy some more poems. and you are required to recite some of these poems. you can recite and many as possible. we will check the next period.
1)women
if you kiss her, you are not a gentleman

if you don’t, you are good for nothing
if you agree to all her likes, she is abusing
if you don’t, you are not understanding
if you make romance, you are an experienced man
if you don’t, you are half a man
if you visit her too open, she thinks it’s boring
if you don’t, she accuses you of double crossing
if you are well dressed, she says you are a playboy
if you don’t, you are a dull boy
….
“o lord, tell me what to do. amen”
2)always have a dream
forget about the days when it’s been cloudy,
but don’t forget your hours in the sun.
forget about the times you’ve been defeated,
but don’t forget the victories you’ve won.
forget about the misfortunes you’ve encountered,
but don’t forget the times your luck has turned.

t：just now, we enjoined a bit interesting poem. how do you feel about the poem? (ss may have different ideas). for myself, i like it. when i read the poem, it seems that a clear picture is shown before me. in the dark sky of night, there are thousands of stars that twinkle in the sky! so in this way, poem tells us about nature and shows us the beauty of nature. no wonder there are many poets expressing themselves by writing poems!

t: a wonderful job! you all can express yourselves freely and use the expressions very well. your ideas all sound reasonable. though poems are beautiful and they can sometimes explore our inner motions, yet still many other people don’t like them, for they think they are too sensitive. so some people are worried about their disappearing.
t: read the following passage and decide whether poetry is getting more popular or whether it is disappearing. explain why you think so.
------poetry is dead! there are few people who read poetry in their free time. who cares? however, some people do care. they think it is important to stop poetry disappearing from culture life.
one way to save poetry is by proving that poetry is alive and around us everywhere. poetry is not something for students of literature: an advertisement is just as much a poem as a shakespeare sonnet(十四行诗).
poetry festival can make poetry more popular .at festivals, poets and audiences get together to read and listen to poetry. the song texts of hip-hop and rap music are often regarded as a new type of poetry of our time. long live poetry.

1.共同点: 现在分词和过去分词在句中不能单独作谓语,但可作定语,表语,宾语补足语,状语.
分词作状语时,其逻辑主语是句子的主语.如:
正确:looking from the top of the hill, we can see the whole town..
错误:being an orphan, the villagers take good care of the child.
正确:seen from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.
错误:seeing from the hill, our school looks more beautiful.
2.不同点: 现在分词有时态和语态的变化;而过去分词只有一种形式,现在分词常表”主动”和 “进行”;过去分词的一般式常表 “被动”和 “完成”.
式 语态 及物动词make的主动语态 及物动词make的被动语态
不及物动词rise
现在分词 一般式 making being made rising
完成式 having made having been made having risen
过去分词 made risen
3.易混淆点:
a.分词作伴随状语时,若表”正在被……” 的概念,常用过去分词,而不用现在分词的被动式.
followed by some officials, napoleon inspected his army.
b.现在分词的完成被动式和过去分词两者都可表示 “完成”和 “被动”,但前者更加强调分词动作明显先于谓语动作;而后者的时间性不强.
having been told to stay in beijing, the boy decided not to return to his village.

1. it was exactly like your necklace, but it was a different one.
2. it was worth five hundred francs at most.
3. i’ve written to accept the invitation.
step 5 language points
explain the language points in the text. ( i think it is better to explain the language after the understanding of the text so the students will get a whole story.)
1．after all的含义
after all意为“毕竟，终究，到底”解，含有“要知道……”、“别忘了……”的含义，通常放在句首。例如：
①in my opinion, we should not punish him． after all, he is a child of seven years old．
依我看我们不该惩罚他，（要知道）他毕竟是一个七岁的孩子。
②why don't you ask for her help? after all, she is always ready to help others．
你为什么不请她帮助呢？（别忘了）她总是乐于帮助别人。【注意】 after all也可以放在句子的末尾，意为“虽然……，但是毕竟……”，表示和预期的情况不同，有转折的意味。例如：
①the young man was badly hurt, but he is now much better after all．
那位年轻人伤得很重，但他终究现在是好多了。
② they said they would not come back for lunch, but they came back after all．
他们说他们不回来吃午饭，但是他们终归还是来了。
2．at the most 意为“最多、至多”，其反义词组 at least 意为“至少、最少”。例如：
①i thought that he had died at least twenty years ago．我想他至少死了二十年了。
②this computer is at the most worth 1,000 dollars．这台微机最多值一千美元。
3．be lost的用法
be lost可表示事物“已丢失”，也可表示人“迷失方向”。试比较：
①we couldn't find the necklace; it was lost。我们没能找到那条项链，项链丢了。
②i can't find my way back to the hotel． i'm lost．我找不到回旅馆的路，我迷路了。
【注】以上这两种用法中的be lost并不是被动语态，而是一种系表结构，表示状态，lost实际上已转化为形容词了。如加上时间状语，则be lost为被动语态，表示动作发生的时间。如：the pen was lost yesterday （那支钢笔是昨天丢的。）
【注】be lost in thought 是“陷入沉思”的意思。be lost in the book 是“埋头读书”的意思。
4．day and night（或 night and day）意为“日日夜夜”、“整天整夜”（all the time），作时间状语。例如：
①lao li thinks about his wife and children day and night．老李日夜思念他的妻子儿女。
②they have to work night and day, but they get little money．他们日夜劳动，但仍然收入很少。
5．not…any more意为“不再”，用于否定句。例如：
①i don't live there any more．我不再住在那儿了。
②don't make the mad experiment any more．不要再做这个疯狂的实验了。
③he can't go to school any more because he got a serious disease．
因为他患了重病，他不能再去上学了。
6．on the way to (a place) 的意思是“在去…的路途中”，to在这里是介词。例如：
①they are on the way to guangdong province．他们正在赴广东省途中。
②on my/the way to school i usually pays visit to an old lady．
我在上学的路上通常去看一位老太太。
[注意] way后面to接的是名词，当way后面接的是副词home，here或there时，则不用to。例如：
①on the way there i often met a blind man with a stick in his right hand．
在到那儿去的路上，我常遇见一位右手拿手杖的盲人。
另外， on the way to还有“即将”的含义；其中 to为介词，后跟动词-ing形式。例如：
①the students in teacher's college have been on the way to becoming teachers．
师专的学生就要成为教师了。
7．be worth的两种用法
形容词worth不能单独使用，要在其后面接名词或动词的-ing形式，不能接不定式。如：
①the necklace was worth 500 francs at the most．那条项链最多值500法郎。
②the work is worth our while/the trouble．
我们的精力是值得花在这项工作上的。／干这项工作麻烦一点是值得的。
③the car isn't worth repairing．
这辆汽车不值得一修。（不能说…to repair，to be repaired或being repaired）
④ she's not worth getting angry with．犯不上跟她生气。
⑤ the article is well worth reading．那篇文章很值得一读。
【注】这种结构中的动词-ing形式在逻辑上与前面的主语具有动宾关系。但该动词不能用被动形式，不能说 the car isn't worth being repaired．
【注】应该用well修饰 worth，不能用 quite，very或 very much等修饰worth，如句⑤。再如：it's well worth trying．（很值得一试。）不能说 it's very/quite worth trying．
用引导词it作 be worth的主语，这种用法可与上一种用法互换使用。如：
①it isn't worth repairing the bike．= the bike isn't worth repairing．这辆自行车不值得修。
②it isn't worth getting angry with her．= she's not worth getting angry with．犯不上跟她生气。
③it's worth visiting the park a second time．= the park is worth visiting a second time．
那公园值得再去一次。
【注】在 don't get the box down． it isn't worth it 一句中， worth it =worth the trouble。
8．call on，call at，drop in，visit与 pay a visit to辨析
以上三个词组都可表示“访问”，用法不同。
1）call on较为正式，后接人作宾语，指“进行短暂的访问”，访问者和受访问者一般只有社交或公务上的关系。如：
①i called on dick at his office yesterday．我昨天到迪克办公室去拜访了他。
②please call on me next time you come to wuhan．下次来武汉时请来看我。
2）call at后接地点，表示“到某人的家或其他场所去拜访某人”。如：
①we called at prof green's house last night．昨晚我们到格林教授的家拜访。
②i called at his office as i was passing．我路过时拜访了他的事务所。
3）drop in意为“顺便走访”（拜访，非正式地拜访，常在计划之外事先没有打招呼）。如后接人时用介词 on；后接地点用介词 at。如：
①will you drop in on us tomorrow evening for a talk?你明晚顺便来和我们一起谈谈好吗？
②he dropped in at our school yesterday．他昨天顺便参观了我们学校。
4）visit是正式用语，可表示进行较长时间的访问。它除了指进行友好或社交性的访问外，有时还表示因职务关系而进行的访问。如：
①the foreign friends are visiting shanghai．外国朋友们正在访问上海。
5）pay a visit to意为“对……进行访问；去看望某人”。如：
①the smiths paid a friendly visit to china last week.
上星期史密斯夫妇对中国进行了友好访问。
9．pay back，pay for与pay off辨析
1）pay back指“偿还”，如损坏了别人的东西或借了别人的钱之后，偿还数目相等的钱。如：
①has he paid back the money he borrowed from the union last month?
他上月借工会的钱还了没有？
2）pay for意为“付款、赔、花费”。如：
①he has paid for the damage．他已经赔偿了损失。
3）pay off意为“还清债”。如：
①perrie has paid off all his debts．佩利已偿还了所有债务

teaching plan iv for integrating skills
procedures:
step 1 leading in (1 min)
talk about the picture on p20. (when? where? who? doing what?)
step 2 reading
read the dialogue fast and answer some questions:
1. what are the teacher and the students talking about? ( about plays, tv programmes and computer games.)
2. which does tim prefer, watching plays or playing computer games?
3. what happens to the girl on her way to see her grandmother? whom does the girl meet on her way to school?
step 3 reading aloud (5 mins)
1. now listen to the tape and read aloud the dialogue, paying attention to the tones, stresses and intonations of the speakers.
2. explain some language points and difficulties if they have.
1). writing a short play is not that difficult.
here the gerund phrase is used as a noun and treated as singular form. the word “that” in this
sentence is not a pronoun but an adverb for emphasis.
2). besides, we have to start somewhere if we want to learn how to write plays.
here, “besides” is used as an adverb, meaning “in addition, what’s more”.
3). if we work together, we might come up with a very good story.
“come up with” is a very useful phrase meaning “think up (an idea, a plan)
e.g. he is such a smart boy that he can always come up with good ideas when we turn to him for help.
4). on her way to her grandmother’s she meets an alien who takes her in his spaceship.
the word “alien” here is used as a noun meaning a person from another country or planet. besides, it can be used as an adjective, meaning “opposite”.
e.g. their ideas are alien to our way of thinking.
step 4 talking and discussing (10 mins)
talk about the procedures of writing a play:
1. talk and decide what the action of the play should be.
2. write an outline of the plot, including the setting (time, place, characters)
3. write down the dialogue.
4. decide which role each member will play.
5. rehearse the play
6. perform the play in front of the class.
in groups your are going to talk on the following topics:
1. similarities and differences between tv shows and computer games.
(tv shows have plots. they tell stories just like a play. computer games don’t really tell stories but they do have a beginning, middle, and end to their action, like plays and characters.)
2. your different roles in life.
(the roles we play in life may be real or fake. we may act the way we trul6y think and feel or pretend to be someone we are not, just like an actor does. often the role we play depends on our relationship to others, especially how we feel about them.)
3. similarities and differences between life in reality and life on stage.
(shakespeare once wrote, “all the world’s a stage.” if life is like theatre, then we are all actors on its stage. some of us have big roles to play while others have small roles. but each role is important to the success of the play, just like in the real life. )
step 5 closing up by creating and acting short plays (25 mins)
here is a short play as a sample, which involves a student who meets a girl on her way to school who looks exactly like her. read it and then work in groups. choose one of the three given prompts and create a play around it.
小刚沿马路骑着自行车，突然前面发生交通事故。他停下去帮助被撞倒的人站起来，并问是否需要去医院。被撞倒的人是一个外国人，她觉得右臂受伤，但并不严重，不需要去医院，对于小刚的帮助表示感谢。
李华胃部刚做完手术，他知道手术很成功，很想知道还要多久才可出院，他急于想开始工作，但如果不能有规律的饮食，他是不可能继续工作的。李华的朋友赵伟来医院看他，得知手术成功感到很高兴，劝李华应先考虑身体健康，才能更好的工作，提醒他此次手术并非小手术。
路易斯在学唐诗。当学到“清明时节雨纷纷”时，她请李岱解释一下清明的含义。李岱告诉她清明意思是“clear and bright”，又成为扫墓日，是活着的人们向死去的亲属#﹑朋友及祖先表示敬意和怀念的日子。路易斯想知道清明节在那一天以及人们在那
天做什么。李岱告诉她是在4月4日或5日，那天人们将扫墓﹑在墓前放上肉﹑蔬菜和酒，此外还烧纸钱为死去的人使用。

task 2 do you really want to turn into a genius?
directions: work in groups and discuss the following topic. refer to other people’s opinions before you get down to work.
topic 最近科学家研究发现人类大脑中有“天才按钮”，只要刺激特定区域，常人也能有非凡的算术、艺术等能力。你愿意开启这个“按钮”吗？
your choice
yes reasons no reasons
shelly: i would just like to be a normal person. as far as i know, some talented people are strange. they may be good at one thing but not talented in other areas. for example, einstein had a gift for physics but found it hard to communicate with others.
eric: i'm willing to turn on such a “button” in my brain, if it really exists. i could become skilled at science, art or economics (经济). but i would make sure this “button” couldn't do me any harm before turning it on.
marie: if more people became geniuses, it may lead to an increase in high-tech crime (犯罪), such as stealing money through the internet and creating harmful computer viruses. it is hard to imagine what the world would be like if all the criminals were very clever.
judy: in my opinion, such a “button” can do a lot of good. it may help us to develop our abilities so that we can make new discoveries. as a result, we could solve many problems and have a more comfortable life. if possible, i am eager to become a genius.
helen: although it is convenient, i don't think its right to become cleverer in this way. if someone wants to be successful in math or art, he or she should work hard. i believe success requires hard work as well as natural gifts.
sam (teacher): just imagine what it would be like to become a genius overnight. in my opinion, most of us would treasure such a chance to make our lives easy and interesting. however, at the same time, we should make good use of these abilities and contribute (贡献) to society and mankind.

not knowing what was going to happen to me, or how rapidly the disease would develop, i was bored. the doctors told me to go back to cambridge and carry on with the research. but i was not making much (1) . and, anyway, i might not live long enough to (2) my phd.
my dreams at that time were rather (3) . before my condition had been diagnosed（诊断）, i had been very (4) with life. there had not seemed to be anything worth doing. but shortly after i came out of hospital, i dreamt that i was going to be put to death. i suddenly (5) that there were a lot of meaningful things i could do if i (6) longer. another dream that i had several times, was that i would give up my life to (7) others. after all, if i were going to die anyway, it might as well do some good. but i didn't die. in fact, although there was a cloud (8) over my future, i found to my surprise, that i was enjoying life in the present more than before. i began to make progress with my research, and i got (9) to a girl called jane wilde, who i had met just about the time my condition was diagnosed. that engagement changed my life. it gave me something to live for. but it also (10) that i had to get a job if we were to get married. i therefore applied for a research fellowship（奖学金）at cambridge. to my great surprise, i got a fellowship, and we got married a few months later.

sydney: as they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, shane gould and jessicah schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “ anything else that came up. ”
yet in sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly（蝶泳）in the australian championships at homebush bay.
gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition（顶级赛事）to swim the one event, having set a qualifying（合格的）time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s united states masters championships. her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the munich olympics.
schipper, now a 17-year-old from brisbane with a bright future of going to athens for her first olympics, yesterday recalled（回忆）her time with gould fie years ago.
“ i was at a national youth came on the gold coast and shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train, ” schipper explained. “ it seemed as if we had long been god friends. i don’t know why. we just started talking and it went from there. ”

a letter to edward, a columnist（报刊专栏作家）
dear mr. expert:
i grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. i always promised myself that i’d get out as soon as possible. now, at age 20,i have a good job and a nice house, and i’m really proud of the independence i’ve achieved.
here’s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine - so much so that they make mine theirs.
it started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. but now they seem to take it for granted that they can show up any time they like. they bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out forever.
i enjoy having my friends here sometimes- it makes the place feel comfortable and warm- but this is my home, not a party house. i was old enough to move out on my own, so why can’t i seem to ask my friends to respect my privacy (隐私)?
joan
edward’s reply to joan
dear joan:
if your family didn’t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting others know your needs now.
and if you’ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere(气氛),you may fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict you grew up with- or destroy the nice atmosphere you now enjoy. you need to understand that in true friendship it’s okay to put your own needs first from time to time.
be clear about the message you want to send. for example, “i really love your company but i also need some privacy. so please call before you come over.”

ⅰ.brief statements based on the unit
more and more people like going on a trip to a faraway destination with the development of society.but before we start,we should know more about the destination we have chosen.this unit is arranged about the central topic-destinations.in warming up,teacher will ask students to talk about the routes and more places in the world,improving the students’ geography know ledge.in studying the reading material “destinations”,the students will know more sights in the world and other things with the help of the teacher.by studying this unit,students will also know that finding out more about the destination is not only a good way to save money and avoid problems,it can also be a lot of fun.as to grammar-non-finite verbs,a number of exercises are arranged.after doing them,students will master some knowledge of the infinitive,the v.-ing and the past participle,and know how to use them.
ⅱ.teaching goals
1.talk about travel and cities.
2.practise making complaints.
3.review the non-finite verbs(1):-ing,-ed,to do…
4.write a descriptive essay/paragraph.
ⅲ.background information
1.how to plan your trip
people are always telling us that“getting there is half the fun”.but is it true?is it always true?of course,we can all remember many enjoyable trips we have taken.but haven’t we all taken a trip that wasn’t fun at all?can we ever forget the time when we just wanted to come home?
the fact is,some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at all.others,who travel because they must travel,have a lot of fun doing it.what makes one trip more enjoyable than another?
the answer is planning.any trip can be enjoyable if it is well planned.every minute that you spend planning your trip may save you ten minutes of trouble during your trip.it may also add an hour of pleasure!
money
before you take any trip,the first question to ask yourself is:how much can i spend?when you decide on a figure,write it down.now you can decide where,when,and how to go.at home,you can find out what it costs to travel anywhere in the world.just pick up the phone and call a travel agent(旅行社）.
in season(旅游旺季)，off season(旅游淡季)
many resorts(旅游胜地) nd cities around the world are popular during some months of the year and less popular during other months.find out if the places you are visiting have an “in” season and“off”season.this may help you to decide when you want to go.
there are some very good reasons to travel during the off season.usually everything is much cheaper.it is also less crowded,of course.if you don’t have a lot of money-or if you don’t like crowds of tourists(游客)-go in the off season.
some places are not as exciting during the off season.the weather may be too cold or too hot.the beaches may be closed.hotels and restaurants(餐馆) ay be shut.be sure to find out before you go.
passports(护照),visas(签证) nd health certificates(健康证明)
it is not hard to get a passport,but you should ask for one a few months before you begin your journey.to get one you must have your birth certificate or another legal document(合法文件) o prove that you are a citizen(公民).
sometimes you need a visa to visit a country.if a visa is necessary,you can ask for one at the country’s embassy(大使馆）.sometimes getting a visa takes many months,so it is very important to plan early.the same is true for health certificates.for this information it is a good idea to call or write the embassies.you may also get a lot of other useful information from them.
now that you have planned your trip,you are ready to take it.should you expect any surprise?of course you should.let’s just hope they’re pleasant ones!
2.future travel:teleportation
science has changed the way we live and the way we think.new inventions and discoveries have made it possible for us to think about the world in new ways.the means of transportation-bikes,cars,airplanes-we use today are good examples.they are based on the idea that transportation means moving something from one place to another-on a bike,in a car or by plane.this takes time,of course,and we can only travel as fast as the laws of physics allow.it will be difficult to travel much faster than today’s airplanes and to travel very far,such as to the stars or to other planets.
now,scientists believe that we might be able to send things from one place to another without actually moving them through space.this sounds strange,but a new way of transportation may become possible in the future.
teleportation is a combination of sending information through telephones or the internet and transportation.with normal transportation,for example by car or plane,a person or thing is moved from point a to point b.with teleportation,a person or thing is taken apart at point a and put together again at point b.if teleportation becomes possible,we may be able to travel faster and farther than we could ever imagine.
in the 1990s,scientists discovered that teleportation was possible.experiments showed that teleportation could be done,but the thing being teleported was destroyed on the way.so far,scientists have only been able to teleport photons-particles(粒子) hat carry light-and laser beams(激光).what about teleportation of human beings?teleporting a human being would be very difficult since there are so many parts in a human body.even the smallest mistake could cause serious problems with the person’s mind or body.
there is still a long way from being able to use teleportation to move human beings,but what we used to think was impossible does now seem possible.what we know and what we imagine often work together:the more we know,the more we can imagine,and the more we imagine,the more we can learn.science is the tool that we use to make our dreams become real and to build a new world with our ideas.

unit 12 fact & fantasy
period 1: warming-up, listening & speaking
teaching aims:
1. learn about some scientific facts by doing a small science quiz.
2. train the students’ listening ability.
3. develop the students’ speaking ability by talking about science fiction using the useful expressions for beliefs and doubts.
step 1. lead in
(at the very beginning of the class, show the ss some pictures about science.)
t: just now we enjoyed some scientific phenomena. the world of science is mysterious, yet it also helps the development of society & human beings. scientists have been showing interest in exploring the universe , hoping to find out more scientific facts.
step 2. warming up
t: then how many scientific facts do you know? try the small science quiz below to see how much you know about science.
(show the questions on the screen & give the ss some choices, since it’s difficult for them to answer.)
1. what is the highest mountain on earth and how high is it?
(mt himalayas, 8848metres.)
2. what is the deepest point in the ocean, and where is it?
(marianas trench in the western pacific ocean.)
3. which is the longest river on earth and how long is it?
(nile river, 6695 km.
4. what is the distance from the earth to the moon? what is it to mars? what is it to the nearest star?
(to the moon: 385,000 km; to mars: 55.7 million km; to sun: 150 million km.)
5. how far is it to the centre of the earth?
(6,500 km.)
6. how high are the temperatures near the centre of the earth?
(6,000 ℃.)
7. what is the longest distance around the world?
(about 40,077 km.)
8. how fast does a balloon travel? how about an aeroplane? how about a space shuttle?
(a balloon only travells as fast as wind blows;
the top speed of the aeroplane is 375 miles per hour;
in general, the space shuttle’s top speed is always around 17,500 miles per hour, or 25,700 feet per second.)
t: so a better understanding of science can lead to a better understanding of the world. and there’re some famous writers who are interested in science wrote a large number of science fictions, among whom was a french writer jules verne. (show a picture of him on the screen). he was considered as the father of science fiction. his two well-known novels are: 20,000 league under the sea & around the world in 80 days. let’s enjoy a short clip about 20,000 leagues under the sea. (show the ss the clip.)
(after the clip)
t: are you attracted by the film?
how did you feel when seeing the film?
t: yeah, the world created by jules is imaginary yet attractive & fantastic.
t: besides the 2 famous novels , have you read any other books of jules? what are they about?
( 1. ss possibly say no & t presents some of his novels & give some explanations.
the mysterious island, the children of captain grant, journey to the centre of the earth
the book journey to the centre of the earth describes what two men experienced after entering the centre of the earth through a chimney in an extinct volcano, which lies in ireland.
2. give a summary about the characteristics of the science fiction.
science fiction is a type of book based on imagined scientific discoveries of the future, and often deals with space travel & life on other planets.)
t: by enjoying the novels by jules, we can see science fiction is a type of book based on imagined scientific discoveries of the future, that is, it is often about things we believe may be possible in the far future, maybe a hundred years later.
step 3. speaking
t:①. nowadays people are living a comfortable life. but i can’t imagine what life on earth will be like in the far future. can you imagine it?
(ask ss to give their opinions.)
②. maybe life in the future will be more convenient, & everything can be possible. for example, space travel may be possible in the near future. because yang liwei went on a 17-hour travel to space by shenzhou ⅴ spaceship last year. what’s your opinion about space travel?
③. so space travel is a good way for us to have contract with outer space. do you believe one day the creatures from outer space will visit our planet?
④. but it’s difficult for us to make some prediction about the future. everything is changing. it’s likely that women can make their dream come true-young forever.
(while talking with ss, the t places life in 3098, space travel, creature from outer space, young forever on the screen.)
t: just now we mentioned the 4 things that may be possible in the future.of course different people have different opinions. some people may doubt whether science fiction may come true. now it’s time for you to prepare dialouges about such topics. the dialogues are incomplete. work with your partners to create a dialogue using some of the useful expressions for beliefs and doubts.
space travel
a: i don’t believe________________.
b: why not?______ ago nobody thought it was possible to __________.
a: __________ more than _______ to ______.
b: _________ we’ll be able to develop. life in 3098

s2:thomas edison invented the light bulb in 1879.
s3:steam-powered boat was made in 1807.
t: you’re quite right. but sometimes we need to know the difference between fact and fantasy. here’s a beautiful picture. i’d like to like in the palace very much. do you like it?
ss: yes.
t: but now i don’t know whether it is possible for me to live in it. to me it is only a fantasy. in science fictions, you can always find a lot of fantasies. today i’d like to introduce a famous writer to you. his name is jules verne. we call him the father of science fiction. let’s enjoy a film first.
step 2 warming up
show a video. then ask the students “what did you see?”
ss: a monster?”
t: have you ever seen a monster?
ss: no.
t: maybe a monster is only a fantasy. but verne combined fact with fantasy so naturally that we think it is true. would like to know something more about him?

step 6 further understanding
describe the character of captain nemo?
captain nemo is the kind of person of whom it is difficult to say whether you like or not. you may think he is hard and cruel, but he also has a soft and gentle side.
step 7 discussion
what can we learn from jules verne and his novels about fact and fantasy?
why would there be a huge underground ocean in the centre of the earth?
why do the characters find plants and animals that live on the earth millions of years ago?
why would there be a boiling river inside the earth?
(in this part, it is very important to help the students know the relationship between fact and fantasy:
in fact, there can’t be a huge underground ocean or plants and animals that live on the earth millions of years ago. there might be a boiling river, but it is impossible for us to see it because we can not bear the heat. however, when we read the stories, few people will doubt whether whatever they see and do is possible. and we enjoy the stories. fantasy is very important for us. without fantasy, science can not develop so greatly. but fantasies should base on facts.)
step 8 homework

period 4 integrating skills
goals:
1. get the students to have a good understanding of the story of frankenstein.
2. help the students finish the creative writing.
step1 lead-in
in the last two periods, we have learnt much about science fiction and known more about science fiction and jules verne, the father of science fiction, who wrote many famous science fictions, such as 20,000 leagues under the sea, around the world in 80 days, journey to the center of the world…he combined fact with fantasy cleverly. now we’re going to read another passage about science fiction, whose title is the story of dr frankenstein.
step2 background
dr frankenstein is a fictitious scientist portrayed by mary wollstonecraft shelly, who was shelly’s wife. she was honored as a pioneer of the science fiction (genre). shelley, mary wollstonecraft (1797-1851), english novelist. daughter of the british philosopher william godwin and the british author and feminist mary wollstonecraft godwin, she was born in london, and privately educated. she met the young poet percy bysshe shelley in may 1814, and two months later left england with him. when shelley's first wife died in december 1816, he married mary. in 1818 her first and most important work, the novel frankenstein was published. a remarkable accomplishment for a 20-year-old, the work was an immediate critical and popular success. repeatedly dramatized for both the theater and motion pictures, this tale of frankenstein, a student of the occult, and the subhuman monster he assembles from parts of human corpses added a new word to the english language: a “frankenstein” is any creation that ultimately destroys its creator. no other work by mary shelley achieved the popularity or excellence of this first work, although she wrote four other novels, books of travel sketches, and miscellaneous tales and verse. one of her novels, the last man(1826), reveals her liberal social outlook; another of her books, lodore (1835), is a novelized autobiography.
step3 skimming
read the passage as quickly as possible, and answer the following question:
what did dr frankenstein create at last?
( he had planned to create a larger human being but at last it turned out a living horror.)
step4 scanning
now please read the text again and discuss :
how many periods can dr frankenstein’s experiment be divided?
(three periods.)
period 1 (paragraph 1------paragraph 3) he decided to crate life from dead matter.
period 2 (paragraph 4------paragraph 5) he decided to create a larger human being than man
period 3 (paragraph 6------paragraph 7) he succeeded in creating a creature, but a living horror.
step 5 detail reading
read each period again and answer the following questions :

( he felt very disappointed and decided to pioneer a new way himself.)
paragraph 3
what attracted his attention?
( the structure of the human body and any animal that was alive attracted his attention.)
what did he discover?
(he discovered the cause of life and how to create life from dead matter.)
period 2
paragraph 4
although he knew how to create life, what remained a difficult work for him?
( how to prepare a body for it with all its muscles and organs still remained a difficult job for him.)
paragraph 5
why did he decide to create a larger human being than man about eight feet in height?
(because the small size of the parts slowed down his speed.)
period 3
paragraph 6
how did he create a life form that looks like a human being? please rearrange the following steps in the right order.

4. he lighted the flame of life into the dead thing.
5. he collected bones from graves and cut up dead bodies.
(the right order: 5---1---2---4---3)
paragraph 7
what did the creature look like?
(he got black hair, white teeth, yellow skin, black lips and strange sounds. he looked like a terrible monster.)
what did dr frankenstein think of the creature?
( while unfinished, he was ugly but now he was a living horror.)
step 6 appreciation
as this passage is a very famous science fiction, there must be a lot of good sentences we can learn. please discuss the following sentences with each other. later we’ll appreciate them together.
1. my father was not scientific, so i had to look for a road without having a map.
(dr frankenstein used a metaphor in the so-clause. he compared the road without any instructions to that without having a map in order to show he had to work hard to find a way to science by himself.)
2. i read all the books i could find that threw light upon these matters.
( “throw light upon” means “make…clear”. here is another metaphor. he compared books to lights.)
3. while unfinished, he was ugly, but now he was a living horror.
( the sentence “while unfinished” is equal to “while he was unfinished”)
step7 video enjoyment
watch the video. let’s get a good understanding of dr frankenstein’s experiment.
step 8 post-reading
what’s the end of the story?
what happened to dr frankenstein?
after the monster came to life, he began to live with common people. but his terrible appearance and behavior terrified the other people. he couldn’t get along well with them, and couldn’t live a happy life. he was eager to get the caring and friendship from others, but he failed, so he felt very lonely. then he begged dr frankenstein to create another creature to accompany him, but was refused. therefore, he took revenge on dr frankenstein, who gave life to him, making dr frankenstein’s family broken up, some gone away, some dead.
“farewell! i leave you, and in you the last of humankind whom these eyes will ever behold. farewell, frankenstein! if thou were yet alive and yet cherished a desire of revenge against me, it would be better satiated in my life than in my destruction. but it was not so; thou didst seek my extinction, that i might not cause greater wretchedness; and if yet, in some mode unknown to me, thou hadst not ceased to think and feel, thou wouldst not desire against me a vengeance greater than that which i feel. blasted as thou wert, my agony was still superior to thine, for the bitter sting of remorse will not cease to rankle in my wounds until death shall close them forever.
”but soon,“ he cried with sad and solemn enthusiasm, ”i shall die, and what i now feel be no longer felt. soon these burning miseries will be extinct. i shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of the torturing flames. the light of that conflagration will fade away; my ashes will be swept into the sea by the winds. my spirit will sleep in peace, or if it thinks, it will not surely think thus. farewell.\"
he sprang from the cabin window as he said this, upon the ice raft which lay close to the vessel. he was soon borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance.
