Unit 1Women of achievementReadingA STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.Following Jane ’ s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family beings to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babiesplay in the tree. Them we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as long as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals intheir own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960,it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her forthe first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps huntand eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her workout their social system.Four forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals.She has argued that wild animals should beleft in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements.She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely.She is leading a busy life but she says: Once I“stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It ’ s terrible.Itaffects me when I watch the wild chimps.I say to myself,‘ Aren ’ t theyAndluck?then I’think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you haveseen that you can never forget ”⋯She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor ’ s degree and showing that womeniveinthecanforestl as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievement of women.Using languageWHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORD?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I chooseto study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at thecomputer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist inwomen’ s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy inher chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of themcaught my eye. I was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caringfor babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and freefrom sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought neededthis advice? I looked carefully at the text and realized that it was intended for women in thecountryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girl’ s education was always placed secondWastoboysshe so’ . much cleverer than anyone else?Further reading made me realize that it was hard work anddetermination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school.What made hersucceed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. Therewas story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’ s work, went late at night to deli a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her.I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi haddevoted her whold life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I wasvery excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entranceexaminations, and⋯Unit 2Working the landA PILNEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China’ s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considersimelfa hfarmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and hisslim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggledfor the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974,he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rich that has a high output. Thisspecial strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the samefields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Sincethen, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw thegreat need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem inmany parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests withoutexpanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty milliontons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice wasproduced. These increased harvests mean that 22% fo the world ’ s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life.However, he doesn’ t care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time forhis hobbies. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream aboutrice plants as tall as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing akind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream:to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough,especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Using LanguageCHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming.Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production.Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers cancause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’ s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage theland by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals alsostay in the ground and underground water for a ling time. This affects crops and, therefore,animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off.These chemicals in the food supply build up in people ime’. s Manybodiesofoverthesechemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses.In addition, fruit, vegetables and other foodgrown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may lookbeautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organicfarming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus onkeeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals andso more fertile. This also keeps the air, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and then thenext year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanutsthat use the ground’ s surface followed by vegetables that put down deepSrootsme.organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the nextyear ’ s crop.These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to growngood food and avoid damaging the environment or people’ s health.Unit 3 A state of English humourReadingA MSTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said,“ Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightenedthe lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel morecontent with their lives.Not that Charlie’ s own life was easy!Hewas born in a poor family in 1889.his parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spenthis childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in English.He couldmime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim— his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as hischarming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world.The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small roundblack hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failurebut was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties.He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has justbeen discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on theedge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats themas if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. I he eats each mouthfulwith great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that it is one ofthe best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he wasgiven a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in English and the USAbut spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.Using languageENGLISH JOKES1. There are thousands of jokes which use“ play on words One”persontoamuseasksus.a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1.C: What ’ s that fly doing in my soup?W:Swimming, I think!2. C: What’ s that?W: It ’ s bean soup.C: I don’ t want to know what it’ sI wantbeen.to know what it is now.3.C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W:No, sir. Round.ExplanationA The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.B The first person is angry about something and wants to say,“ Why is this here?” Th second person treats it as a request for information and gives an answer to the question.C The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can havetwo meanings.2.Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokesabout the famous detective Sherlock Homes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it anddecide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better.Give your reasons.Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson went camping in an mountainous area. They warelying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Homes looked up at the stars and whispered,“ Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?” Watson replied,of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted.” “ No, no, Watson!” Hom “ what do you really think of? Watson”tried again.“ I think of how small I am and howvast the sky is.“ Try” again, Watson!Said”Holmes. Watson tried a third time.“ Ithink of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds.Holmes said,”“ Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!”Unit 4Body LanguageReadingCOMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university ’ s student association, wen the Capital International Airport to meet this year ’ s internationalTheywerestudents. coming to study at Beijing University. We would taken them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood fro a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by JuliaSmith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was verysurprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! Shestepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that therewas probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling,together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his handout to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akria bowed so his nose touchedGeorge ’ s moving handThey. both apologized another— cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, hemoved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to aska question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashingthrough the door, she recognized Tony Garcia ’s Theysmilingshookface.hand and thenkissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meetpeople they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men fromMiddle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talkbut will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural“ bod language ”Not. all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in thesame way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that peoplecommunicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken“ language” through physical distance, actions or postureEnglish. people, for example, do notusually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, peoplefrom places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are morelikely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, butsome cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed.I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general— not allmembers of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying internationalcustoms can certainly help avoid difficulties in today’ s world of cultural crossroads!Using LanguageSHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even morepowerful than spoken spoken language.People around the world show all kinds of feelings,wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication.“ readOf course,”others aroundbody language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most university facial expression is, of course, the smile — its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are truly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone“ loses face” and smilesHowevtoer,hideth it. general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning.In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’ s back to someone Makingshows angerfist. and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry and threatening anther person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement almost worldwide. Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning will, in mostcases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyesand turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it isprobably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is notusually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. Standing at a little distance withopen hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some similarities inbody language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!Unit 5Theme parksReadingTHEME PARKES—FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit?There are various kinds of theme parks, with adifferent park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, movies or history.Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showingthe famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever and whatever you like, there is atheme park for you!The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland.It can be found inseveral parts of the world.

As you wander around the fantasyamusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a parade or on the street. Ofcourse Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from giant swinging ships to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland !Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeastern USA, is one of the mostunique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows and celebrates America’ s traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rides, the park’ s main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform there all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. Peoplecome form all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and ironobjects in the old-fashioned way.Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy thatAmerican southerners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam-engine train stillworking in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the world’ s largestbald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best oldwooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in thesmallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning a ll about America ’ s historicalsoutheastern culture!If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies,princes and queens, then England ’ s Camelot Park is the placeEveforyyouarea. of the parkis modeled after life in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Inone place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin the Wizard. If you want to see fightingwith swords or on horseback, then the jousting area is a good place to visit. If you do wellthere, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament.Do you likeanimals? Then visit the farm area, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farmsand took care of their animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England ran theirfarms and took care of their animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England,come to Camelot Park!Using LanguageFUTUROSCOPE- EXCITEMENT AND LEARNINGLast week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, and was pulledinto a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash inthe jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to the bottom of the ocean to seestrange blind creature that have never seen sunlight. For a break, I took part in some carracing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended mytravels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived theexperience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of thelargest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-based theme park inFrance uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screensprovide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visitors can get close to parts ofthe world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through thejungle or visiting the edges of the solar system. The amazing, up-to-date informationtogether with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in acompletely new way for visitors. Learning centers throughout the park let visitors try theirown scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea worldand much more.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park’ s entrance, but tickets are also available online.Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfect mix of funand learning for class outings.Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know theirplans in advance can get the group admission rate. For anyone coming from out of town,Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearly, most of which provide a shuttle service to thepark. If driving, Futuroscope is within easy reach of the freeway.Plan your trip wellbefore starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops thatit is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot — be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or other walking shoes!。

新人教版 Book 4   Unit 1    Woman  of  Achievement 课文

Book 4 Unit 1 Women of achievementPart I a Student of African WildlifeIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Follow ing Jane’s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years helped understand how much they behave like human s. Watch ing a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This mean s going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warn s us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between member s of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and record ing their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrive d in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allow ed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discover ed was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observe d chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argue d that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisement s. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safe ly. She is lead ing a busy life but she says: “Once I stop, it all comes crowd ing in and I remember the chimps in lab oratories. It’s terrible. It affect s me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they lucky?’And then I think about small chimps in cage s though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ...”She has achieve d everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gain ing a doctor’s degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspire s those who want to cheer the achievement s of women.Part II Why not Carry on her Good Work?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women’s disease s. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travel ling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a small book explain ing how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rule s to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free from sick ness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thought needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text and realize d that it was intend ed for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical train ing at that time. That was a generation when girls’education was always place d second to boys’. Was she so much clever er than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kind ness and consideration she showed to all her patient s. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi had devote d her whole life to her patient s and had chosen not to have a family of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entrance examination s, and….。

Unit 1 Women of achievement简·古道尔是世界上拥有极高声誉的动物学家,她致力于野生动物的研究、教育和保护。

一起来了解一下吧!Jane Goodall's journeyJane Goodall was born on April 3,1934,in England.Her parents divorced when she was eight years old and she moved with her mother to Bournemouth,England.In Bournemouth,Jane met the legendary wildlife expert,Sir Richard Attenborough,who taught Jane about the wonders of primates (灵长目动物) and the importance of preserving their habitats.In 1957,Jane was hired as a secretary to travel withLouis Leakey,a paleoanthropologist(古人类学家),toOlduvai Gorge in Tanzania.She was immediately trusted bya chimpanzee that she named David Greybeard.She soon beganfeeding David on a regular basis,and eventually David tookbananas straight from her hand and even allowed her to groom (刷洗) him.Other chimpanzees allowed Jane to observe them at close range later.Goodall soon began studying the Kasakela chimpanzee munity in Tanzania's Gombe Stream National Park.When studying chimpanzees,Goodall made several important discoveries about the animals.She first discovered that the chimps were intelligent enough to make tools from natural resources in their surroundings.It was the first time in history that animals other than humans had been documented constructing tools.Her observations led many scientists to consider the close evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees.Goodall soon returned to England and obtained a doctorate(博士学位) from Cambridge University in ethology (animal behaviour).Goodall returned to Tanzania in 1965 and made more discoveries concerning thenature and society of chimpanzees.She gave names to the chimpanzees that she studied and recorded that each chimpanzee had distinct personalities,traits(特征),and behaviour.She wrote extensively about relationships within the chimpanzee society.In 1971,Goodall published IntheShadowofMan,in which she described her years of observations.The book focused on the events of the life of a female chimpanzee named Flo.In 1977,Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute to support continuous research into chimpanzee society.Goodall has received dozens of honored awards.In 2003,she was named as “Dame mander of the Order of the British Empire〞, an award similar to that of knighthood.In 2002,she was named a UN Messenger of Peace.[阅读障碍词]1.divorce n.离婚vt.与……离婚2.legendary adj.传奇的;著名的3.preserve v.保护;保持;保存4.document n.文档vt.证明;记录5.obtain v.获得6.distinct adj.明显的;清楚的7.focus on集中注意力于……;致力于……[诱思导读]根据短文内容判断正(T)误(F)1.Jane Goodall first discovered that the chimps simply could use tools made by humans.( )2.IntheShadowofMan mainly focused on the distinct personality of a female chimpanzee named David Greybeard.

《unit 1 Women_of_Achievement》示范说课稿Women of AchievementGood morning, ladies and gentlemen. My topic is Women of Achievement, that is, unit 1, in module 4. The reading passage “A Student of African Wildlife” is talked later and my talk consists of 4 parts. Part 1, my understanding of the material. Part 2, teaching approaches. Part 3, preparations before class. Part 4, teaching procedure.First, let me introduce the reading passage.It is the center of this unit’ste aching and learning. It is made up of 4 paragraphs, that is, one day’s observing chimps with Jane in the forest; how Jane did her research and her achievements; Jane’s love towards animals and her contributions to animal protection; and a short summary to her. By learning this lesson, the students can not only understand women’s status in society and everyday life, their values and contributions, their difficulties and achievements, but also learn how to use some words, phrases and sentence patterns. Of course, the students can practise their reading skills, such as skimming, scanning and careful reading.Second, I want to tell something about the students. Although the students have the basic abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing, they still need many opportunities to explore and convey meanings; to classify and reflect on their thoughts, feelings and experiences; to experiment and use their imaginations, and also to develop their autonomous learning ability, cooperative learning ability and investigative learning ability.Third, about teaching aimsKnowledge aims: To learn how to use the mastery words, phrases and sentence patterns;To learn sth about Jane’s research.Ability aims: To cultivate the students’ autonomous learning ability, coope rative learning ability and investigative learning ability;To develop students’ reading skills, such as making prediction and drawing inferences from the context.Emotional aims: To encourage the students to participate in the class activities and cultivate their teamwork spirit;To learn Jane’s bravery and perseverance in achieving her goals;To reinforce the sense of wildlife protection.Fourth, about key points and difficult pointsI think they are to develop the students’ reading skills, such as making prediction and drawing inferences from the context; and to learn how to use the mastery words, phrases and sentence patterns.Part 2 Teaching approachesAccording to the analysis above, I’ll try to use the following theories: to make students the real master of the class while the teacher myself the director; to inspire the students, especially girl students to chase their dreams with great determinations.Therefore, task—based teaching method, students—centered teaching method and CAI will be used.Part 3 Preparations before classI will ask the students to surf the Internet or go to the library to find some information about great women that they are interested in.And in class, they will give reports of the information they have obtained. By doing this activity, I can train their autonomous learning ability and investigative learning ability, and their abilities of collecting and dealing with information.Part 4 Teaching procedureI designed 6 steps to deal with this reading passage.Step 1 lead—inActivity: picture appreciation and question answeringI’ll show them some beautiful pictures of wild animals, such as lions, Tibetan antelopes, monkeys and chimps. Then one question will be asked: which animal has the closest connection with human beings? I t’s not so difficult. Of course, chimps. Then the students can find more about chimps from the reading passage.The purpose of this activity is to stimulate the students’ interest and naturally lead to the reading passage.Step 2 pre—readingActivity: look and guessThe students will be asked to just glance at the title and the two pictures in the book, and then guess what they will read in the text. And they’ll be divided into groups of four to have a discussion.This activity is to inspire the students to read actively, not passively. Surveys show that active reading can raise the readers’ interest and reading efficiency. Other purposes are to develop the students’ reading skill—making prediction and to encourage the students to think in English, express their thoughts in English and cooperate with each other.Step 3 readingActivity 1 scanningThe students are required to scan the text quickly and find out specific information of the following questions.1 who is the student?2 what animals are observed?3 when did Jane Goodall arrive at Gombe? How old was she?4 what was the purpose of her study?By doing this activity, the students can improve their reading skill—scanning. And they can get the two lines of the whole passage, the main line—student, and the hidden line—wildlife. It builds a solid base for the latter reading comprehension.Activity 2 skimmingThe students are asked to skim the text quickly and summarize the main idea of each paragraph.By doing this, I can train the students’ reading skil l—skimming. And before their skimming, I’ll remind them to find out the topic sentence of each paragraph.Activity 3 careful readingFor paragraph 1: Video watching and completing a diagramGet the students to watch a short video of Jane’s research with ch imps.This paragraph is a description of what Jane and her partners did in the forest. The video can turn the description in words into images. So it seems as if the students themselves went into the forest. Then a diagram will be shown to the students. It contains the main actions of the chimps. They have to complete it. By these two changes, the students can master the important words, phrases and sentences better.For paragraphs 2-3:Retelling jobThese two paragraphs are relatively long, so the students may have difficulties in classifying the content. Therefore I divided all the sentences into 3 aspects, that is, Jane’s difficulties, her discoveries and her contributions. According to the key words, they have to retell it.By doing this activity, I can train the students’ language organizing ability to meet the demands of the new curriculum.For paragraph 4: Question answeringIt is a short summary to Jane and implies that women can do what they want to do as men. This paragraph is relatively short and easy to understand. So the questions are fairly easy and will be offered to the less talented students.Step 4 post—readingI designed 2 activities.Activity 1: multiple choice questionsThese questions are to help the students get a better understanding of the text. Some of them are about details, and some of them are inferences. Inference questions are more difficult. So I will give them to the top students, and the easier ones to less talented students. Therefore all the students can have the chance to participate in the class activities and achieve the pleasure of learning English. Thus task-based teaching method is used here.Activity 2: qualities and looking for relevant sentencesIt is an activity to consolidate what they have learnt in the class. Traditionally, ablank-filling task is often used in this step, but it is a passive activity. In order to get the students to learn actively, I designed this activity. Just get the students to look at the title and think about “what kind of student Jane is”. They will say many words, like hard-working, brave and so on. Then ask them to find out the sentences from which we can see these qualities. To do this job, the students have to read the whole passage more carefully again, and they will get a deeper impression of the language structure. Here students-centered teaching method is used.Step 5 DiscussionThe students will be divided into several groups to discuss the following questions.1 Jane was brave enough to live in the forest. What difficulties do you think she was facing?2 If you have the chance, will you do what she did?This activity is to cheer the students to think deeply about Jane’s research and to practice their oral English.Step 6 HomeworkActivity : Thinking and WritingThe topic is “ though our grandmothers and mothers haven’t done something great like Jane, do you think they are great, too?” Give your reasons.This activity is designed to train their writing skills and stimulate the students to become aware of the greatness of ordinary women. So greatness is close to the students’ daily life.In class, I will use CAI, so there is no blackboard design.That’s all. Thank you!。
