新人教版 Book 3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world 课文

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldPart I Festival s and celebration sFestival s and celebration s of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, plant ing in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunter s had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origin s, some religious, some season al, and some for special people or event s. Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honour the dead, or to satisfy the ancestor s, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean the grave s and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamp s and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with “bone s” on them. They offer food, flowers and gift s to the dead. The western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old belief s about the return of the spirit s of dead people. It is now a children’s festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbours’ homes to ask for sweets. If the neighbours don’t give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.Festivals to Honour PeopleFestivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.Harvest FestivalsHarvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gather ed for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate church es and town hall s with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win award s for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy mooncakes.Spring FestivalsThe most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winterand to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnival s, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan’s Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our custom s and forget our work for a little while.Part II a sad love storyLi Fang was heart-broken. It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work. But she didn’t turn up. She could be with her friends right now laughing at him. She said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word. He had looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool. Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize. He would drown his sad ness in coffee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave —he wipe d the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV —just what Li Fang needed! A sad Chinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her name was Zhinu, the weaving girl. While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang and they fell in love. (“Just like me and Hu Jin,” thought Li Fang.) They got married secretly, and they were very happy. (“We could be like that, ” thought Li Fang.) When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human, she became very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven. Niulang tried to follow her, but the river of stars, the Milky Way, stop ped him. Finding that Zhinu was heart-broken, her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way to meet once a year. Magpies make a bridge of their wing s so the couple can cross the river to meet on the seventh lunar month. People in China hope that the weather will be fine on that day, because if it is raining, it mean s that Zhinu is weep ing and the couple won’t be able to meet.The announcer said, “This is the story of Qiqiao Festival. When foreigner s hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine’s story. It’s a fine day today, so I hope you can all meet the one you love.’’As Li Fang set off for home, he thought, “I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me. I’ll just throw these flowers and chocolates away. I don’t want them to remind me of her.’’ So he did.As he sadly pass ed the tea shop on the corner on his way home, he heard a voice calling him. There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling, “Why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! And I have a gift for you!”What would he do? He had thrown away her Valentine gifts! She would never forgive him. This would not be a happy Valentine’s Day!。

教案4：Unit 1 Festivals around the world

Unit 1 Festivals around the world Ｉ．单元教学目标II．目标语言III. 教材分析与教材重组1. 教材分析本单元以节日为话题，介绍古今中外节日的种类、由来、意义以及人们的活动和习俗，旨在通过本单元的学习使学生不但了解我国的节日，而且对外国的节日也有所了解，进而拓展社会文化背景、增加跨国文化知识；使学生复习和巩固运用请求和感谢的表达法，掌握情态动词的用法；并尝试根据阅读的文章写一个不同的结局，能表达自己的观点和想法。

1.1 Warming Up 旨在通过表格引导学生讨论并列举出五个我国节日的日期、庆祝内容和民俗。

可以刚刚过去的春节为话题导入对节日的讨论；使他们由自己的经历谈起，扩展到别的节日以及外国的重要节日，激发学生的兴趣，激活他们关于节日的背景知识，为本单元的学习做准备。

1.2 Pre-reading是Reading 的热身活动。

主要通过两个问题引导学生思考并讨论自己最喜欢的节日及欢度方式，进而了解学生对节日的认识，以便为阅读作好铺垫。

1.3 Reading 的五篇小短文分别介绍古代节日、亡灵节、纪念名人的节日、丰收节、春天的节日等，使学生了解各种节日的由来及其存在的意义。

此部分载有Festivals的重要信息，还呈现了大量的词汇和主要的语法---情态动词的用法。

处理时应作为重点、整体处理，通过上下文来教词汇、语法，并引导学生分析长句、难句和复杂句。

1.4 Comprehending是考察对阅读内容的进一步理解。

练习一：六个问题让学生对文章内容有浅层理解并考察课文细节，但又不能仅仅拘泥于课文，要引导学生理解课文内容的基础上联系现实生活。

练习二：要求学生讨论哪些节日是最重要的，哪些是最有趣的，以表格的形式检查学生对所读节日的理解，并训练他们举一反三的归纳和推理能力。

练习三：要求学生找出各种节日共有的三件事，然后讨论为什么这些事对各地的人们都很重要。

这就要求学生不仅要温习文章内容而且要结合实际，阐述自己的想法，挖掘学生的思维能力和语言表达能力。

At the beginning of the class, the teacher can leadin the topic of the unit by having a free talk with students about their winter holidays and the Spring Festival.The Warming Up is intended to have students start thinking about the variety of events and festivals that are celebrated in China, and connect them with seasons of the year and reasons for the celebrations. The teacher can use this part to introduce information that Chinese students should have about their country’s cultural events.The Pre-reading is a continuation of the Warming Up and it moves the discussion to a more personal level. It is intended to help students enter imaginatively into a discussion of festivals and their importance to the society. It also directs their attention to the variety of events and activitiesthose festivals include. The teacher should let students discuss the questions and predict what kind of information will be introduced in the Reading.The reading passage titled FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS briefly describes the earliest kinds of festivals with the reasons for them, and then four different kinds of festivals that occur in most parts of the world. Encourage students to look at the pictures and the heading of each section to guess what the text might be about. Then let them skim for the general idea for each section, and scan for further understanding. Because this passage introduces a lot of useful new words and expressions which are only used for festivals, in order not to let students feel much difficult, the teacher should deal with any language problems while they are reading. After reading, students are required to do the four exercises in the prehending to see how much they have understood the reading passage. The teacher can first let them work in pairs or in groups to find the answers cooperatively, and then check their answers with the whole class.To consolidate the contents of the reading passage, students should be required to talk about festivals in their own words at the end of the class. In order to arouse students’ interest, the teacher can hold a petition between groups.教学重点1. Let students learn more about history and basic knowledge of festivals.2.
