Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained Reading boy missing ,policepuzzledResources1. Newspaper articles are often seen as a shortened form of a news report that gives fuller information. The lead, the first paragraph of a news story, plays the most important part in the understanding of the whole story. It is usually a one or two sentence summary of the particular event being reported. The headline and the first paragraph effectively summarize the story's content.There are several advantages in using a newspaper to improve English skills. A newspaper is inexpensive, easily obtained and the materials are authentic. Besides, understanding the news stories relies heavily on the students' knowledge of social and cultural experiences. Newspapers mirror our national values, habits and preferences. Newspaper reading improves the students' overall abilities rather than simply informing them of new information. Students will find time and effort devoted to understanding social and cultural materials rewarding.2. Some newspaper activities that can be used in the classroom.* Encourage students to read the newspaper daily. Ask them what articles they find interesting, and read and discuss those articles with them.*Read the newspaper coverage of a major news story and watch the same story presented on television. Talk about the differences between reading newspapers and watching television news.*Read the newspaper for issues that have some direct effects on students' lives. Locate news stories and opinions in editorials, letters to the editor and editorial columns. Ask students which facts are most important and which opinions are closest to theirs.*Review TV and movie schedules, discussing which shows and movies are appealing and why. Compare reviews with those written by media critics.*Try to find persuasive letters to the editor. Identify and discuss the author's style and tone. Encourage students to respond with their own letters to the editor when they encounter ideas with which they disagree.Step 1: Lead-in1. Some questions about UFODo you know what the three letters UFO stand for?Have you ever heard of the UFOs?Have you ever had the chance to see one?Do you believe the usual sayings about the UFOs?What do you think a UFO is?Do you think there are any creatures on it?Where do you think the creatures come from?Will they become our friends or enemies?2. Today, we’ll come to Reading part. Now I’d like you to look at the pictures on pages 2 and 3 and the title, Boy missing, police puzzled. Can you connect them with each other?Picture 1:Is the first picture a UFO?Are there really UFOs from the outer space?Picture 2:Who was the missing boy?Does he like playing football or baseball?Picture 3:What’s the picture about?Does the bright light outside the window come from a UFO?Does the bright light have something to do with Justin’s missing?(If possible, the teacher may use the projector or macromedia to show the situations in the three pictures and ask the students the same questions as given above. Check answers in pairs. Check the answers with the whole class if you wish.)3. Answer the following questions, focusing on the title of the article, Boy missing, police puzzled.Does the title arouse your interest when you read it?Can you complete the title?What information can you get from the title?What else do you want to know? For example, 'boy missing' (How/When/Where was the boy missing?) 'police puzzled' (Why are they puzzled?/What are the police going to do about the boy's disappearance and how?)Are you curious about why the writer uses an incomplete sentence as the title?Did you know that it is a feature of a news title?What are some other features of a news title?Can you guess what details may be covered in the following news story?Step 2:Fast reading for general ideas1. Before skimming the passage, please look at the news photographs first and describe what is happening in them. Then find the answers to the three questions above the text:1) What is the article about? (The article is about a missing boy/UFOs and aliens.)2) Who is missing? (Justin Foster is missing.)3) Do the police know what happened to Justin? (No.)2. Read the first paragraph carefully to get the main idea and the important facts such as: When and where was the boy missing? What caused the boy's sudden disappearance? How old was the boy? Why did people show interest in his disappearance?3. Now scan the article again and locate specific information according to Parts C1 and C2. Questions 1, 2, 3 and 5 in Part C1 check background information about Justin while Questions 4, 6, 7 and 8 check your comprehension about witnesses, aliensand the case. Part C2 requires you to identify some details to support the main points of the story.Answers to C 1 (p4):1. He lives in Dover, New Hampshire.2. Justin's mother went to bed early because of a headache.3. He plays baseball.4. At 10:45 p.m.5. He has a sister.6. They were white.7. Mavis Wood has been taken by the aliens.8. Detective Sam Peterson was in charge of the case.Step 3: Detailed reading for important information1. Please self-evaluate how well you understand and comprehend the article with the following exercise.At 8 p.m.___________________________________At 10.45 p.m._____________________________Justin Foster At 11 p.m.___________________________________After 11p.m., he was seen_____________________The next morning, he was found________________shape__________________its appearance colour__________________Strange objects (UFO) size______________________its inside ___________________________________2. Answer the questionsWhere does Justin Foster live ? （He lives in Dover, New Hampshire.）Why did Justin’s mother go to bed early? (Justin’s mother went to bed early because of a headache.)What sports does Justin play? (He plays basketball.)What time did the witness see Justin walking home? (At 10.45 p.m.)Does Justin have any brothers and sisters ? (He has a sister)What colour were the aliens? (They were white.)Who else has been taken by the aliens? (Mavis Wood has been taken by the aliens.)Who is in charge of the case ? (Detective Sam Peterson was in charge of the case.)3. Complete Parts D and E. The meanings of the words in Part D are not difficult for you to identify after you have read through the passage twice. Part E is a diary written by Kelly. It requires you to understand the diary first, and then write down the missing words to make the meaning complete.Answers to D (p4):1. puzzled (title) __ _6___ a say that something is not possible2. due to (line 6) ___8___ b making people believe something is true3. show up (line 23) 5 c frightening or unpleasant dreams4. wirnesses (line 32) 2 d because of5. nightmares (line 68) 3 e appear or arrive6. rule out (line 73) 7 f invent (a story)7. make up (line 76) 1 g unable to understand8. convincing (line 81) 4 h people who saw an accident and can describe it to othersAnswers to E (p5):Justin has been missing for two weeks now. I miss him a lot. I’m worried that something bad has happened to him. I’m sure he came home that night at around 11 p.m. I heard him out on his favourite CD. I wonder where the alliens with large black eyes have taken him.Mavis told me that creatures from outer space took her away a few years ago. They did some research on her. The whole experience was very frightening, just like a nightmare ,but at least they returned her home. I hope they will return Justin soon.The police are not making much progress. They are very puzzled . Now they are searching for other witnesses . They say Justin might have been murdered . Dad is very disappoitned with them. He thinks they are not doing their job properly. Mum is really worried too. She can’t sleep well. I hope Justin will come home soon and tell us what happened to him. I want all of us to be together again.3. Having read the text, please pay attention to the different features of each paragraph.1) First let’s have a d iscussion about how we usually decide whether a news article is worth reading or not and what methods we use in our reading.As we all know, newspapers play an important part in our daily life. Wherever you are, you can be informed of the latest news by reading a newspaper. From your experience, how do you usually select the news you’d like to read, by taking a look at its title or being attracted by its colorful pictures?Every one of you can express your own opinions and give the reasons.2) Compared with the other paragraphs, is the first paragraph the most important one in the article? Please describe the differences between the first paragraph of the article and the paragraphs that follow.3) You are asked to read the Reading strategy ‘reading a newspaper article’. Pay attention that both the title and the first paragraph, which is called the lead paragraph, play a key role in your understanding of news articles.Step 4: Post-reading activities1. Retell the story according to the diagram on page 6. I’ll write down some key words and phrases on the blackboard or the overhead projector for you to refer to in case you need help.2. Suppose you are a writer. Please give an ending to the story. Though the police have made efforts to investigate the case. Justin's disappearance remains a mystery.Was he really seized by aliens or were there other reasons? All the people are concerned about Justin's disappearance. What do you think might have happened to him? Was he in danger? If he were taken away by aliens, how do you think they wouldtreat him? Just use your imagination and all the endings are acceptable.3. Do with Parts A1 and A2 on page 80 in Workbook to get more familiar with the textand the words and expressions in it.Answers to Part A1:1. up2. to3. up4. up5. for6. out7. into/for8. up 9. of 10. on 11. around/about 12. out/upAnswers to Part A2:1. witness2. creature3. gone missing4. frightened5. research6. due to7. show up8. possibility4. Please turn your attention to the questions in Part F. You are expected do some speaking practice according to the sample.5. Read Part A first and then do Part B in Writing on page 87 in Workbook.Answer to Part B:Dear Jim,I had a strange experience last night. It was unusually dark. I noticed a light inmy back garden and walked to the door to take a look. A UFO had landed in my gardenand opened it’s door! I couldn’t believe my eyes. An alien was walking down the stairs of the UFO. He walked up to me and said, ‘Now, I’m taking you to a new place.’With that, he led me into the UFO and we flew to the Moon and then to Mars. Justas I began to enjoy the ride, the alien brought out a torch. All of a sudden, a strong beam shone in my eyes. I had to keep my eyes shut to avoid the light. Guess what?It was sunlight shining on my bed. What a dream!Yours truly,Robert。

Unit 1 Tales of the unexplained人类科技发展到今天，早已能够上天下海。

那么人类是否已无所不能了呢？还是让我们先去看一看百慕大三角再下结论吧！We like to consider ourselves the superior race, and weare.It’s true that we are getting to know more and more, andwe actually live in “the information age”．Our human vanity(虚荣心) makes us believe that we really have to know everything!Surprisingly, we do not have this ability.The question “What is happening in the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角)？” is the very proof(证据)．Where is the Bermuda Triangle located？The mysterious triangle is believed to be situated between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico, where too many unusual events have happened.On December 5th, 1945, five U．itary planes took off from Florida on a clear day only to disappear over Bermuda.Furthermore, some other disappearances took place: in 1947, an American C54 plane simply disappeared at 100 miles from Bermuda；at 80 miles, a Star Tiger plane disappeared in 1948.Even Columbus had trouble in Bermuda.Some of his journals were about the strange happenings there：“the waters are changing their color”and“compasses are going wild”．Maybe it’s why it is called the Devil’s triangle or the Atlantic cemetery(公墓)．Many hypotheses(假设) were stated in order to explain the strange events.In spite of these attempts, the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle remains unsolved.Some people get to say that maybe aliens are involved in it.Other imaginative scientists relate the happenings in Bermuda to Einstein’s theory, saying that the missing ships and planes are translated to another dimension(维度) of space and time and taken into another world.Maybe we will just have to wait to go to Heaven and ask the one who made it.The answer will surely be a satisfying one!Section ⅠWelcome to the unit & Reading—Warming Up[基础词汇]1．incident n．发生的事情(尤指不寻常的或讨厌的)2．disappear vi. 消失；失踪3．witness n. 目击者，证人vt. 目击，见证4．creature n. 动物；(具有某种特征的)人5．flash n．&vi. 闪光，闪耀6．occur vi. 发生7．aboard adv.& prep. 在(轮船、飞机、火车等)上；上(轮船、飞机、火车等) 8．dismiss vt. 不予考虑；解雇；解散9．case n. 案件；具体情况，实例[拓展词汇]10．unexplained adj.无法解释的，神秘的→unexplainable adj.不可解释的；费解的→explain v．说明；解释→explanation n．解释；说明11．puzzled adj. 困惑的，茫然的→puzzle n．难题；谜vt.使为难；使困惑vi.苦思；迷惑→puzzling adj.令人迷惑的；茫然不知所措的12．assume vt. 假定；认为→assumption n．假定；设想→assumed adj.假定的；假装的13．construction n. 施工；建筑物→construct vt.建造；构筑→constructive adj.建设性的；构造上的14．possibility n. 可能性→possible adj.可能的；尽可能的→possibly adv.可能地；也许15．journalist n. 记者→journal n．日志；日记；期刊16．amazing adj. 令人惊奇(惊叹)的→amaze vt.使吃惊vi.惊讶n.吃惊；好奇→amazed adj.吃惊的17．evidence n．证据→evident adj.明白的；明显的18．injury n. 伤害→injure vt.伤害；损害→injured adj.受伤的19．laughter n. 笑，笑声→laugh v．发笑；嘲笑n.笑声；笑；笑料20．astronomer n. 天文学家→astronomy n．天文学1．step up 加紧，加强，促进2．due to 由于，因为3．show up 出现，现身4．take charge of 负责，掌管5．make up 编造，杜撰；构成6．look into 调查7．run into 偶然遇见；撞上8．put on 穿上；播放；增加(体重)；上演9．search for 搜寻；寻找10．go missing 失踪1．why引导表语从句That’s why(那就是为什么) it is called a UFO!2．完全倒装句Standing inside were(里面站着) lots of strange creatures with white skin and large black eyes.3．so that引导目的状语从句The aliens took me aboard the UFO so that they could do research on me(以便对我进行研究)．4．状语从句的省略When asked about(当被问及) the possibility that Justin was taken by aliens，Detective Sam Peterson...5．while引导让步状语从句So，while we have not dismissed the idea(尽管我们不排除这种想法)，we are looking into other possibilities as well.ⅠRead the text carefully and then choose the best answer.1．The reason why people were interested in the disappearance of the child is that________．A．the lost boy was 15 years oldB．the police advised them to do soC．the disappearance might have something to do with the UFO and the alien D．all of the above2．In the seventh paragraph，“show up” means “________”．A．arrive or appear B．reachC．disappear D．reach for3．We can infer that the boy might go missing ________．A．in his own room B．on the playgroundC．in Kelly’s room D．in his brother’s room4．What is the attitude of the police to the disappearance of the boy?A．They can’t make sure that Justin was taken by aliens.B．They think it possible for some people to make up an amazing story.C．They are looking into other possibilities，such as murder.D．All of the above.ⅡAnalyze the following difficult sentences in the text.1．However, since Mrs Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend, she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed.However, since Mrs Foster thought that Justin was spending the night with a friend是由since引导的________从句，在这个从句中又包含一个由that引导的宾语从句；she assumed that Kelly was having a bad dream, and sent her back to bed是主句；that Kelly was having a bad dream是that引导的________从句，and是并列连词，连接并列句。
