Warming upWarming up by learning something about “Humor”W hat is “Humor”? Does any one of you know anything about humor? Look at the screen and read the definition of Humor from the Internet.Humor (humour in British English) is the ability or quality of people, objects or situations to invoke feelings of amusement in other people. The term encompasses any form of entertainment or human communication which invokes such feelings, or which makes people laugh or feel happy. English humor Example Chinese humor Examplenonverbal mime and farce（哑剧和轻喜剧）Charlie Chaplin, Mr. Bean pantomime（哑剧）王景愚funny plays（喜剧小品）陈佩撕funny stories Mark Twain verbal jokes play on words, usually two linescross talk（相声）jokes 姜昆马季funny poems Edward Lear doggerel（打油诗）Note:Humor is particular to each culture. For example, the British laugh at things that are ridiculous and enjoy parody very much. Chinese humor includes puns, extended cross talk between two comedians etc. The British also enjoys play on words(like puns) but they are more like short jokes.Warming up by watching and listeningHi, everyone! We are going to learn about A taste of English humour today. Now watch the slides/ pictures and listen to the English humour poems.2. Pre-reading by telling the truth —What do you like to laugh at?I like to laugh at cartoons, fo r they’re lovely and fun.I like to laugh at fairy tales. They are amusing and interesting.Although we have different sense of humor, it seems that the humor that all cultures enjoy isnon-verbal humor. We all laugh at the antics of Charlie Chaplin and Mr. Bean. It is good that we can all laugh at something together!Many years ago there lived an Emperor who was so exceedingly fond of fine new clothes that he spent vast sums of money on dress. To him clothes meant more than anything else in the world. He took no interest in his army, nor did he care to go to the theatre, or to drive about in his state coach, unless it was to display his new clothes. He had different robes for every single hour of the day.3. Reading aloud to the recordingReading aloud to the recording of the text improves our literacy skills -- reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Now please listen and read aloud to the recording of the text A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOUR. Pay attention to the pronunciation of each word and the pauses between the thought groups.4.Reading and underliningA really useful way to help us with our listening is to become aware of ‘thought groups’. When we speak, we need to divide speech up into small 'chunks' to help the listener understand messages. These chunks or thought groups are groups of words which go together to express an idea or thought. In English, we use pauses and low pitch to mark the end of thought groups.Next you are to read the text, dividing the text into thought groups and circling all the useful expressions or collocations in the passage. Copy them into your notebook after school as homework.Collocations from A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURslide on…在……上滑行, bump into…不期而遇；偶然碰见；邂逅, round a corner在拐角处，在近处, fall down…摔倒，掉进, in the road在路面上, see other people’s bad luck看别人倒霉（遭到不幸）, at times时不时；经常地, feel content with…对……感到满意, be worse off情况更坏; 处境更糟; 经济情况更不好, astonish… with…以……方式令人吃惊, inspire deep feelin gs in sb. for…因为……激发人内心深处的感情, play a character扮演一个角色, be born in poverty出生穷困, become famous for因为……而出名, use a particular form of acting用独特的表演方式, entertaining silent movie令人愉快的无声影片, a charming character令人愉快的角色，有趣的角色, be well known throughout the world世界闻名, play a poor and homeless person 扮演一个贫困而无家可归的人, carry a walking stick拄着拐杖, a social failure社会生活中的失败者, be loved by…被……爱戴（热爱）, overcome difficulties克服困难, be unkind to …对……不友好, make…entertaining使……令人愉快, a sad situation悲哀的境况, a boiled shoe 一只煮沸的鞋, make… funny使……滑稽可笑, use nonverbal humour不用语言表达的幽默, in the middle of the nineteenth century在十九世纪中叶,in search of…搜寻，寻找, pan for gold用淘金盘淘金, wash sand洗沙（以便得到金子）, in a pan of water在淘金盘中, expect to do sth.期待做某事,pick up…得到，淘到, be fortunate enough足够幸运, be caught in asnowstorm遭遇到暴风雪, on the edge of…在……的边缘, in a small wooden house在一座小木屋, have nothing to eat没有可吃的东西, so… that…如此……以至于……, boil a pair of leather shoes煮一双皮鞋, sit down at the table坐在桌边, pick out…挑选，选出, cut off…切下；割下；砍下, treat… as if…像……一样对待, eat every mouthful with enjoyment快乐地享受每一口, make it seem as if…使它显得（好象）……, direct a movie执导一部影片, star in在……中担任主角, give… a special Oscar授予……奥斯卡特别奖, one’s lifetime某人的一生outstanding work杰出的工作, live one’s life in…在……度过一生,5.Reading to identify the topic sentence of each paragraphSkim the text and identify the topic sentence of each paragraph.

Now look at the screen and read it aloud with me.Charlie Chaplin (April 16, 1889 - December 25, 1977)Charlie Chaplin, who brought laughter to millions worldwide as thesilent “Little Tramp” clown, had the type of deprived childhood thatone would expect to find in a Dickens novel. Born in East Street,Walworth, London on 16 April, 1889, Charles Spencer Chaplin was theson of a music hall singer and his wife. Charlie Chaplin's parentsdivorced early in his life, with his father providing little to no support,either financial or otherwise, leaving his mother to support them as best she could. Chaplin's mother Hannah was the brightest spot in Charlie's childhood; formerly an actor on stage, she had lost her ability to perform, and managed to earn a subsistence living for herself, Charlie, and Charlie's older half-brother Sidney by sewing. She was an integral part of Charlie's young life, and he credited her with much of his success. Sadly, she slowly succumbed to mental illness, and by the time that Charlie was 7 years old, she was confined to an asylum; Charlie and Sidney were relegated to a workhouse (a government facility for orphaned and abandoned children) -- not for the last time. After 2 months, she was released, and the family was happily reunited, for a time. In later years, she was readmitted for an 8-month stretch later, during which time Charlie lived with his alcoholic father and stepmother, in a strained environment.本文档部分内容来源于网络，如有内容侵权请告知删除，感谢您的配合！。
