However,they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.First, people used .After that, they made .Then they used .finally, they began to develop .This led to .Unit 3 ComputersComputer factsSmaller and betterIn the 1940s, the first computers were bigger than cars.

Finally, he became very ill.Some students play computer games for too long. This is a serious problem. In the past, students used to play outside more often, but now they spend more time in front of computers. This is bad for their health.

Since then, people have been able to speak to each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.The light bulbThomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879.

The ink also did not dry easily, and it sometimes made a mess on the. paper. Biro wanted a better pen. His brother, George, helped him develop a special ink. The ink dried easily. Then they developed a new type of pen.There was a tiny ball at the tip of the pen. The ball rolled ink onto paper as it moved. They called it the "ballpoint" pen.The ballpoint pen was a great success. Everyone loved it. Now millions of people use it all over the world every day.People will always remember Biro for his invention. Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word "biro" to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen.1Why did Biro decide to invent the ballpoint pen?2 How did Biro's brother help him invent the ballpoint pen?3 How does the ballpoint pen work?4 How do people remember Biro for his invention today?Unit 5 Educational exchangesAn exchange visit is educational and interesting!A group of British students from Woodpark School in London are visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational exchange.“I was very nervous at first,” says Sarah. “However, my host family are really friendly.

They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” b etween the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.C VocabularyCl The words in italics explain the meanings of some words.

However,they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.First, people used .After that, they made .Then they used .finally, they began to develop .This led to .Unit 3 ComputersComputer factsSmaller and betterIn the 1940s, the first computers were bigger than cars.

Then they developed a new type of pen.There was a tiny ball at the tip of the pen. The ball rolled ink onto paper as it moved. They called it the "ballpoint" pen.The ballpoint pen was a great success. Everyone loved it. Now millions of people use it all over the world every day.People will always remember Biro for his invention. Today in many English-speaking countries, people still use the word "biro" to refer to any kind of ballpoint pen.1Why did Biro decide to invent the ballpoint pen?2 How did Biro's brother help him invent the ballpoint pen?3 How does the ballpoint pen work?4 How do people remember Biro for his invention today?Unit 5 Educational exchangesAn exchange visit is educational and interesting!A group of British students from Woodpark School in London are visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational exchange.“I was very nervous at first,” says Sarah. “However, my host family are really friendly.

They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.C VocabularyCl The words in italics explain the meanings of some words.

After its invention, travelling became faster and more comfortable. A few thousand years ago, people started to use wheels on carriages. In the early 19th century, the first trains began to carry passengers. At the start of the 20th century, cars became popular. Without the wheel, we would not have these inventions.The telephoneAlexander Graham Bell invented one of the first practical telephones in 1876. Since then, people have been able to speak to each other over long distances. Today millions of people across the world own mobile phones. They allow people to keep in touch with each other anytime, anywhere.The light bulbThomas Edison developed the first practical light bulb in 1879. Before the invention of the light bulb, people had to use oil lamps, gas lamps or candles to see at night. With light bulbs, people can do as many things in the evening as they can in the daytime. Can you imagine living without them?Unit 5 Educational exchangesAn exchange visit is educational and interesting!A group of British students from Woodpark School in London are visiting Xinhua Junior High School in Beijing on an educational exchange.“I was very nervous at first,” says Sarah. “However, my host family are really friendly. I’m glad to be a guest in their home. I’ve learnt to use chopsticks, and they’re teaching me a little Chinese!”The students spend the weekdays studying with Chinese students. At the weekend, they tour around Beijing and visit places of interest with their host families.“It’s been a fantastic experience so far,” says Eric. “ I’ve learnt a bit of t’ai chi, and I really enjoy it. We’ve already learnt a lot about Chinese culture and history. The teachers have introduced us to Chinese painting as well. We’ll also tried to paint some pictures ourselves! I haven’t had much success yet, but I’ll keep trying.”“I’ve made many new friends,” says Sarah.”I plan to keep in touch with them when I return home. We’ll see one another soon because they’ll come over to the UK for the second part of the exchange next month.I can’t wait!”Unit 6 Ancient storiesThe Trojan horseThe capital stood on the high wall of the city of Troy. “The Greeks have gone and we’ve won,” he said. “ They’ve tried to capture our city for ten years. Now they’ve given up and sailed away!”“But look over there,” a soldier said. “They’ve left a huge wooden horse.”“Ah, yes,” the captain said, “it’s too big. The Greeks didn’t want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city.”That night, in the main square of the city, all the Trojans celebrated. They sang and danced around the horse, and m ade jokes about the stupid Greeks. “I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood,” the captain said. After the party, they locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.By midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge horse. Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden horse. The horse was full of Greek soldiers! They quietly climbed out of the horse one by one.The soldiers opened the main gates. The Greek army entered the city.For ten years, the Greeks could not capture the city by fighting. In one night, however, they succeeded in capturing it through a clever trick.Unit 7 MemoryHenry, Paula and Millie write for the school newspaper. They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how t o spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.Unit 8 English WeekEnglish: fun for lifeEnglish Week at Rosie Bridge SchoolLast week, students at Rosie Bridge School worked hard to make their English Week a big success. There was an English book fair in the library and a treasure hunt. Some students put on an English play. Other students took part in an English singing competition.There was also a speaking competition. The students had to speak on a topic in English for two minutes. We spoke to the winner, Henry. “I’m so happy that I won,” he said. “I advise people to speak slowly. If they want to be good public speakers, they’d better speak clearly and confidently.”We also spoke to several other students about English Week. One of them was Amy.“I really enjoyed English Week. It gave me a chance to learn new words. In my opinion, every school should have an English Week. It’s well worth doing,” she said.On the last day of English Week, the head teacher gave a speech to the whole school. He gave students some suggestions on how to improve their English. “You should communicate in English with your friends whenever you can. You should read English books and magazines, and watch English television pro grammes. Above all, you should enjoy English!” he said.。

Finally, the old man won. So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice. He put one grain on the first square, two on the second, and so on.

At first, people used their fingers, and eveii their toes. However,they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9). We are still using this system today.First, people used .After that, they made .Then they used .finally, they began to develop .This led to .Unit 3 ComputersComputer factsSmaller and betterIn the 1940s, the first computers were bigger than cars.

The Greeks didn’t want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city.”That night, in the main square of the city, all the Trojans celebrated. They sang and danced around the horse, and made jokes about the stupid Greeks. “I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood,” the captain said. After the party, they locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.By midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge horse. Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden horse. The horse was full of Greek soldiers! They quietly climbed out of the horse one by one.The soldiers opened the main gates.

They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind. If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word. For example, if you want to remember how to spell the word “because”, you can use the sentence “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”.MillieYou will forget something very quickly unless you understand it well. For example, you may have trouble remembering the list of steps in the water cycle. However, it is easier to remember these steps if you understand how the water cycle works.C VocabularyCl The words in italics explain the meanings of some words.

At first, people used their fingers, and eveii their toes. However,they could only count small numbers in this way.After that, they began to make small marks on sticks and bones. This helped them count bigger numbers. They used them to count things like the days of the month, the amount of food and the number of animals they had.Then people began to use tokens made from clay or small stones. This helped them count even bigger numbers. They often put the tokens on pieces of string so that they could carry them around easily. This developed into tools like the abacus.Finally, people began to develop systems of written marks to show different numbers, and this led to the Hindu-Arabic system (0-9).

They have written the short articles below to help students improve their memory.Memory CornerHenryA great way to help you remember something is to imagine a picture of it in your mind.If you make the picture big, strange or silly, you will remember it better. For example, to remember the word “smiles”, we can imagine there is a “mile” between the first letter and the last letter. This makes it the longest word in the world.PaulaA good method for remembering the spelling of a word is to make a short sentence with each letter of the word.

Others were as big as ten elephants.
Some could even fly.
Many dinosaurs ate plants. However, some dinosaurs liked to eat meat.
Dinosaurs lived on Earth for more than 150 million years. Then, suddenly, they all died out. Nobody knows why. However, we can learn about them from their fossils. (See Earth history)
Da Vinci was born in the countryside. From an early age, he showed great intelligence and artistic ability. As he grew older, he learnt to do many different things.

2学情分析
本人任教的两个班,一个班学生的成绩较平均,另一个班的学生分化严重,低分段学生占总人数的18%——20%。
他们的基础知识不扎实,综合运用知识的能力还有待提高。
这节课是Reading的第三个课时,在第一、二课时中,本人首先将文章涉及的生词先教,让学生认读和理解,利用“口语易”平台,让他们进行朗读和背诵,再根据学生的练习的成绩,让
他们在小组内开展读、说的活动。
因此,这节课的内容,学生们已经是相当熟悉。
3重点难点
1.掌握主阅读篇章的事实信息,学习并运用阅读微技能:细节理解——直接信息,形成有效阅读策略。
2.利用“蛛网图”复述本文内容,归纳人物的基本信息,谈论人物的生平。
