Unit 3 A taste of English humour I. 单元教学目标II. 目标语言Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组1．教材分析本单元的中心话题是“感受英语幽默”，其中涉及到了幽默的种类及其代表人物，并就中外幽默进行了粗略的比较，以此让学生感受英语幽默的内涵。
1.1 WARMING UP中提出了三个问题：How many kinds of humour do you know？Do you know these kinds of humour？Do you have other kinds of humour in China？这三个问题直指本单元中心话题，为下一步的阅读理解作了准备。
1.2 PRE-READING在WARMING UP 的基础上提出了另外三个问题：What do you like to laugh at？What does humour mean？Is humour always kind？这三个问题进一步让学生了解幽默的含义，即把缺陷与完美、荒唐与合理、愚笨与机敏等两极对立的属性不动声色地结合起来，在对立统一中见其深刻的意义。
1.3 READING以美国著名喜剧大师Charlie Chaplin的表演为例，为学生展示了幽默的内涵。
第一段以常见的踩香蕉皮滑倒为例，指出了幽默的内涵之一：“Perhaps i t makes us feel more content with our life because we feel there is someone else worse off than ourselves”.从第二段开始介绍卓别林以其独特的表现方式成为著名的幽默大师，文中列举了两部他的喜剧片，一部是The Little Trump，另一部是The Gold Rush。
前者以其穿着及行为而受到了人们的喜爱；后者通过吃皮鞋这一片段，让人领略了他的无与伦比的想象力与幽默感。

Before our class, please turn to P97 and read the new words together. Read twice for each one, ok?Ss: Ok. (The students read the new words together )Step II Warming upT: Good. Try your best to recite the words as soon as possible. Today, we are going to the new text. At first, I would like to show you a picture. Please look at the picture carefully. (Start the new unit by showing the students a picture)T: Look! What do you think of the picture?Ss: It’s very interesting. A wolf or maybe it is a dog is jumping across the back of a sheep.T: Yes. Actually, it is a wolf. As we know, wolf is the natural enemy of sheep. Will a wolf jump across a sheep without eating it? No. After seei ng the picture, it is so funny that we can’t help laughing about their acting. It makes us laugh and feel nice. So today, we are going to learn something about humor. The title is A taste of English humor. Do you know some English humor? Ss: (Some students may know some English humor and they will put up their hands.)T: Ok, I’ll ask someone to tell some English humors to us.(Ask some students to tell.)T: That’s really funny. T hank you! In fact, we name the English humor you told just now verbal joke. Then, look at some pictures again. Guess who they are.Ss: The first one is Charlie Chaplin.T: Yes, I dare say that everybody know him. How about the second picture?Ss: He is Mr. Bean, one of the most famous and successful British actor.T: Good. You are right. He is now recognized as the most popular British comedy expert.

Then how about Edward Lear? Do you know him?Ss: No, we don’t know.T: Ok, he is a famous British poet. His poems are funny and they were all from daily life.

So, do you know some persons inChinese w ho are good at humor? I’ll show you some pictures again. See, who are they and wh at are they goodat? Nonverbal, mime and farce, funny tales or funny poems?Ss: The first picture is Chen Peisi.

The last one is Liu Quanhe & Liu Quanli, both of them are good at Ya ju (哑剧). So, can you finish the column of the chart now?The suggested answers:Step III Pre-readingT: According to the column, what do you like to laugh at?Ss: (Ask the students to talk about their opinion)T: Ok, as you all have your own choice and you do love making jokes, right? However, do you know what humor means exactly? Does it mean all the things that make people laugh?Ss: We think so.T: Have you ever thought that there may be some jokes which will hurt the other person? For example: “You, stupid pig! If you keep on making mistakes, I will pick your head and beat it like a basketball.” Do you think I am right to say these words?Ss: No, it is rude.T: That means humor is not always kind. Pay attention to your words when you want to make jokes. Then, what we are going to learn is a kind of humor that makes people laugh without using any words. How can we? Please look at the P17------ reading: Nonverbal humorStep IV ReadingT: This reading material takes Charlie Chaplin for example. It tells us what nonverbal humor means; what’s Charlie Chaplin’s style of acting; how he made a sad situation entertaining and so on.At first, as I have told you to preview the text, tell me how many passages the material can bedivided and the main idea of each paragraph.Ss: We think the text is made up of four parts. The first part is the first paragraph. The second part is the second paragraph. The third and the fourth part is the third paragraph. And the last paragraph is the fourth part. The first part tells us that not all humor is kind. The second part tells us that some actors can astonish us with the deep feeling they can inspire with us for a character they are playing. The third one tells us something about Ch arlie Chaplin’s acting style. The last one is a short biography about Charlie Chaplin.T: Ok, it sounds reasonable. Are there any different opinions?Ss: We think there are three parts in this text. The first paragraph is the first part. From the second to the fourth paragraph is the second part. And the last one is the last part.T: Can you tell us your main ideas of the text?Ss: The first and the last ones are the same with my classmate before, but I think the second part of the text is about Charlie Cha plin’s humor.T: Good. Both of you sound reasonable. A reading material can have many different understanding! Here is my idea, you can think over whether it is reasonable or not. The text can also be divided into three parts. The first and the second paragraph are the first part. It tells us that there are two kinds of humor. One is bad and the other can inspire people. The second part is the third and the fourth paragraphs. It tells us how Charlie Chaplin made a sad situation entertaining. And the last part is the same with yours. Ok, think over my idea after class.Then, let us have a discussion about the text. Please look at the screen. These are three questions. Read the text again and find the answer to the questions.1.What is behind fun?______________________________________________________________2.Why did people like The Little Tramp?________________________________________________________________3.Do you think Charlie Chaplin’s eating boiled shoes funny? Why?_________________________________________________________________Three minutes later:T: Who would like to answer the first question?Ss: From the first paragraph, we can see that not all humor is kind. Although we also laugh whenwe see someone slide on a ba nana, it’s really dangerous to those one, especially to those old people. So when we think about it we will find it is not funny.T: Yes. That means when we are trying to play a joke, we have to think whether it will bring hurt to the others, right? Fun is to bring happiness but not sadness. How about the second question? Ss: Because it gives people courage to overcome difficulties. / I think that people liked him best is because he was always being kind even when people were unkind to him.T: Good. Any other opinions?Ss: I think that people like him is because he will never tease him.T: Ok, and how about the last question?Ss: I think it is funny, but not very much, because I’m not hungry. / I don’t think it is funny because it reminds me of the people who are in true hunger.T: Maybe. Anyway, I think the happiest feeling needn’t other people to find and to wake. Everyone can do this. We all have our own life, no matter we are poor or rich, and we should live happily.Well, so much on today. Do you have any questions about what we have learned? (Wait for the students’ response.)

However, some actors can astonish us with the deep feelings they can inspire in us for a character they are playing.剖析：(that) they can inspire in us是定语从句,修饰the deep feeling,意为“在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感”；(that) they are playing也是定语从句,修饰acharacter,意为“因为/用他们所演的角色”.inspire…in sb. 鼓动起/激起/唤起某人的……译文：然而,有些演员能用他们所演的角色在我们身上鼓动起来的深深情感震撼我们.3. He played a poor and homeless person, who wore large trousers,worn-out shoes and a small round black hat and carried a walking stick.剖析：这是个长句,who引导一个较长的非限制性定语从句；a small round black hat中的hat前有“大小+形状+颜色”三个形容词作定语,在英语中多个形容词修饰名词时的顺序是：描绘+大小(长短,高低)+形状+年龄(新旧)+颜色+国籍或产地+物质材料+用途+名词.译文：他扮演的是一位穷苦的无家可归的人,穿着大裤子,破鞋子,头顶着黑色的小圆帽,手里拿着一根手杖.六、语法知识归纳1. 动词-ing形式作表语(1)动名词作表语,说明主语的内容,指一般性、经常性的动作.如：His job is teaching English. 他的工作是教英语.(可以说成Teaching English is his job.)(2)现在分词作表语,相当于形容词,说明主语的性质；可有比较形式,亦可被very等副词所修饰.如：He was very amusing. 他很有趣.Skiing is more exciting than skating. 滑雪比溜冰更刺激.2. 动词-ing形式作定语(1)动名词作定语表示所修饰名词的功能；被修饰的名词与动名词没有逻辑上的主谓关系；可用“名词+for+动名词”来表达；动名词通常只能位于所修饰的名词前.如：a swimming pool (=a pool for swimming) 游泳池a walking stick (=a stick for walking) 手杖(2)现在分词作定语表示性质、特征、状态或动作；被修饰的名词与现在分词在逻辑上有主谓关系；可换成定语从句来表达；单个的现在分词作定语,常置于被修饰的名词的前面；现在分词短语作定语,须置于被修饰名词的后面.如：Nobody can stop the running horse (=the horse that is running). 没有人能阻止那匹奔马.(horse与running在逻辑上有主谓关系)I know the man standing there (=who is standing there.). 我认识站在那儿的那个人.(the man与standing there在逻辑上有主谓关系)3. 动词-ing形式用作宾语补足语.(1)动词-ing形式用作宾语补足语,宾语与补足语有主动关系,表示“动作正在发生（即处于发生的过程中）”.如：She caught them stealing her apples. 她撞见他们偷她的苹果.(them与stealing 有主动关系；在“撞见”时,正在偷)(2)试比较以下句子：I saw the boy climb the wall. 我看见小孩爬墙.(强调爬墙这件事)I saw the boy climbing the wall. 我看见小孩正在爬墙.(强调爬墙的情景)七、背景知识介绍查理-卓别林是著名的喜剧大师,他丰富的肢体语言使他在整个默片时代成为备受瞩目的风云人物,也是默片时代的巨星.他所创造出来的流浪汉夏洛特的形象是家喻户晓,他擅长塑造小人物,通过他们的遭遇来讽刺生活的现实.他的喜剧不但引人发笑,而且引人深思,有深刻的内涵.1889年4月16日,卓别林诞生在英国伦敦的一个贫民区.他的父母都是喜剧演员,经常在伦敦的游艺场里演出.后来父母离异,生活十分贫苦.由于过度劳累,母亲染上了喉炎,卓别林五岁那年,母亲在一次演唱时,由于嗓音过于微弱,被观众哄下了舞台.管事灵机一动,让卓别林代替母亲演出,卓别林故意用沙哑的嗓子学妈妈唱歌,没想到观众却大为欣赏,报以热烈的掌声.此后,卓别林就开始了他用肢体演出的生涯.1977年12月25日,喜剧大师卓别林在瑞士科西耶逝世.Unit 3 A taste of English humorListening, Speaking and WritingListeningTeaching aims: Enable students to understand the humor in the listening material.Key points: Train the students to get the key wards by reading the questions before listening. Difficult points: Get the main idea from the listening materials while listening.Teaching aids: A recorderTeaching procedure:Step 1. RevisionCheck homework: (1) Ask a couple of students to tell their jokes in class.(2 ) Ask some students to come to the blackboard to write their translation.After they have finished, teacher correct some errors with the wholeclass.Step 2. Listening ( page 23 )This is a funny story. Mary made some plum jam and left some in the pan. Five days later, her husband came home and poured the jam into the chicken. Later Mary came home and found all of her chickens were behaving strangely. What had happened? Give students two chances to listen to the story. First, go through Exercise1 and 2 to know what are the things they will do while listening. After that teacher plays the tape for them to finish Exercise 1. The second listening is to check the answers. For Exercise 2, teacher should leave some time for students to discuss the question.Questions: (1) Did you find this story funny?

Homework1) Finish Exercise 5 on Page 20.2) Make a summary about what has been learnt in this unit.Unit 3 A taste of English humorGrammar and Useful StructuresAimsTo help students learn about The –ing form as the Predicative, Attributive & Object)To help students discover and learn to use some useful words and expressions.To help students discover and learn to use some useful structures.ProceduresI. Warming upWarming up by discovering useful words and expressionsDo exercises No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Check your answers against your classmates’.II. Learning about The –ing form as the AttributiveWhat is attributive? It is something placed before the nouns to be modif ied: “red” is an attributive adjective in “a red apple”. “walking” is also an attributive adjective in “a walking stick”.The –ing form as the AttributiveThe –ing form作定语时表示该动作正在进行.单个The –ing form作定语通常放在被修饰词的前面. The –ing form短语作定语则放在被修饰词之后.如:The rising sun looks very beautiful. 冉冉升起的太阳看上去很美.若被修饰词与The –ing form是被动关系时,须用The –ing form的被动式(being done)作定语.如:The song being broadcast is very popular with the young students. 正在播放的歌曲深受青年学生的欢迎.注意The –ing form作定语与所修饰的名词有逻辑上的主谓关系,或表示作用与用途.如: Let sleeping dogs lie. 别招惹麻烦.(The –ing form相当于定语从句which are sleeping)I think some sleeping pills may help you. 我想安眠药可以助你入睡.(The –ing form表示用途,相当于pills for sleeping)III. Ready used materials for The –ing form as the Predicative, Attributive & ObjectWhich verbs can be followed by the -ing form?One of the most important simple principles that grammarians tend to miss is the one that explains what verbs take the -ing form. The method of almost all books on English grammar is to give a list of such verbs. This implies that it is completely arbitrary whether a verb takes the -ing form or not, that God has closed his eyes and pricked off verbs here and there at random with a pin. Students are thus cut off from insight into a basic pattern of meaning, and confronted with a lifeless series of unconnected words which they have to learn by heart. They are pushed into a purely mechanical process that misses the essential truth that learning languages is learning about meanings and their logical connections to other meanings. It is significant of the impractical arbitrariness of these lists that there are almost no two of them that are the same, even where the most common of the verbs used with -ing are concerned.When contrasting the -ing form with the infinitive, the basic point to remember is that-ing can always mean, among other things, a verb-noun, an 'action-thing'.The fact that -ing can always mean a 'thing' gives us the following practical principle: If you can say I (etc.) - verb - it (e.g. I like it), you can use I - verb -ing (e.g. I like eating). Avoid it. Avoid stepping on the grass if you can.Do you mind it? Do you mind shutting the window?He couldn't risk it. He couldn't risk hurting the children.This is a principle virtually without exceptions. But naturally there are many verbs that in practice are never used with -ing simply because nobody ever wants to express that 'action' meaning of -ing with them. The process is always self-regulating, so to speak - one says whatever makes sense. We can look at some examples of the use of -ing with verbs that appear on few, if any, of most grammarians' lists.They have added mistreating prisoners to the list of charges.I can't really afford living like this.The council no longer allows smoking in public buildings.aim - (It is hard to think of a sensible example of -ing being used with this verb. Can you?)The club arranges dancing for the pensioners.The chairman claimed breaking the strike as a great triumph.I don't count making money as a virtue.The investigators discovered cheating on a huge scale.We must encourage planting earlier in the season.I thank travelling for teaching me much about the human condition.The principle applies equally to phrasal verbs, both the 'prepositional' type and the 'adverbial particle' type.She insisted on helping me.Bill's putting off writing till tomorrow. (Or: ...putting writing off...)The managing director picked out idling on the job as the main cause of the declining profits.turn up - (Another example of a verb I am unable to think of any sensible use for with -ing.) (Notice that in the second and third sentences above, an it used instead of the -ing form would come between putting and off and between picked and out.)There are uses of -ing which appear to contradict the it-substitution principle. Two examples of them involve expressions that both have the sense of continue: carry on and go on. One can say Carry on talking, but not *Carry on it. That, however, is merely because deemphasized pronouns are never used at the end of phrasal verb phrases (e.g. in a dictionary one looks it up, not *looks up it). With go on one cannot even say *go it on. This again can be explained simply. One does not *go a thing, while with the sense of continue one does not say *go on it for the same reason that one does not say *Carry on it.IV. Closing downClosing down by discoveringTo end the period you are going to skim the text and the previous texts to find out all the examples containing –ing forms used as the predicative, attributive and object.Closing down by exercisesIn the last few minutes you are to do exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4.。

anything that interests you. anything you have strong opinions about. now write down your own jokes, in english. iv. closing down by actingto end this period, we are going to act the film by charlie chaplin the great dictator. part tw teaching resources 1.a text structure analysis of nonverbal humouri. type of writing and summary of the ideatype of writingthis is a piece of describtive writing.main idea of the passagecharlie chaplin astonishes us with the deep feelings he can inspire in us for a character he is playing.topic sentence of 1st paragraphsome humour can be cruel.topic sentence of 2nd paragraphcharlie chaplin is such an actor as to astonish us with the deep feelings.topicsentence of 3rd paragraphhow did charlie chaplin make a sad situation entertaining?topic sentence of4th paragraphthe film of the gold rush is set in california.topic sentence of 5th paragraphcharlie chaplin produced, directed, and wrote the movies he starred in.ii. a tree diagram of the text charlie chaplin — the gold rush charlie chaplin making a sad situation entertaining?(para 3)the film of the gold rush set in california where gold was discovered(para 4)humours being cruel(para 1)charlie chaplin astonishing us with the deep feelings(para 2)charlie chaplin producing, directing, and writing the movies he starred in(para 5) iii. a retold passage of the textgive a possible version:the fourth period listeningstep 1 listening onp23 listen to the tape and answer the following questions1. which is best title for this story?2. why was mary smith frustrated?3. what turned the jam into wine?
