(二)整体感知 Step 1 Greetings and Revision(p179) Step 2 Presentation Read the passage "Body Talk", and let the students know people from different parts of the world use different body language. (二)教学过程 Step 3 Pre-reading (1)Exercise 1. shrug: A.

Can you guess what someone is thinking or feeling by looking at his or her body language? Yes: A person's body language can tell us what he or she is feeling. For example, if someone is nervous, his or her hands may shake. If a person smiles but his or her eyes don't look happy, we can guess that there is something wrong. No: It is difficult to tell what a person is thinking by looking at their body language. People use body language in different ways and gestures may have different meanings in different areas. People don't always think about their body language, so we may misunderstand them if we try to guess what they are thinking or feeling. It is also possible for people to learn to use their body language to hide what they are really feeling or thinking. 2. Do people from different parts of the world use different body language? What about people who live in different parts of China? I think people from different parts of the world and from different parts of China use the same body language. For example, waving one's hand is to say “Goodbye” in both our country and foreign countries.
I think different countries have different body language. For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, while men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in different parts of China almost have the same body language. 3. How do you communicate the following with body language? Thank you! No. Yes. I don't know. Come here! Step 4 Reading (1)Fast reading:Two questions on p180 and then choose. 1. How can we communicate with other
people ? A. using words B. using body language C. using e-mails D. both A and B 2. In what countries does shaking one's head mean “yes”? A. Russia and China B.

In what countries is a visiting friend greeted with a kiss on the cheek? A. Russia and France B. Japan and China C. Germany and Japan (2)Main idea (Pay attention to the first and last sentence). Para 1:We communicate with people not only by words but also by body language.(We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people.) Para 2:Body language varies from culture to culture.(Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.) Para 3:The same body language has different meanings in some different countries.(People in different countries show the same idea in different ways.) Para 4:Some gestures are universal.(Some gestures seem to be universal.) Para 5:Smile is the best example of universally understood body language.(Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile.)

From an earlier time to a later time C. From an inland to the coast. D. Being beaten in the struggle of life. Key:DCCBB, CAABD Step 4 Post reading(p60) Work in pairs and discuss the questions below. 1. What are some situations where we need to be very careful about our body language and gestures? Situations where body language is important include: a job interview, a visit to a foreign country, a meeting, a speech, etc. 2. How is body language different from spoken language? What do they have in common? Body language is in some ways more limited than spoken language. Some things would be very difficult to express using body language. It is perhaps easier to misunderstand body language. Body language tends to support and add to spoken language. Both body language and spoken language use symbols to represent meaning; in the case of spoken language, we use sounds and sounds combinations to represent words and meanings. Both depend on our ability to interpret what we see or hear. 3. Sometimes we say one thing but our body language says something different. Why does this happen? Can you think of any examples? There are several
situations where a person's body language may not match what he or she is saying: a speaker who is trying to sound confident but whose hands are shaking; a person who says that he or she is interested in what we are saying but who looks away or taps his or her feet, etc. It probably happens because it is more difficult to control one's body language than to control what one says. 4. Contrast body language in China and that in the USA. Meaning Gesture in the USA Gesture in China No, don't do that. Moving the index finger from side to side. Moving the hand from side to side. I don't know. Shrugging one's shoulders. Shaking one's head. Well done Thumbs up. Thumbs up. Incredible.
I can't believe it. Rolling one's eyes. Open one's eyes or mouth wide. Money Rubbing the thumb and fore-finger together. Rubbing the thumb and fore-finger together. Crazy Moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear. Moving the indexfinger in a circle from side to side. Good luck Cross the fingers No such a gesture Come here Moving the index finger forwards and backwards. Moving one's hand up anddown with the palm facing down. What can you learn from this passage? 1)When in Rome, do as the Romans do! 2)英美人用大拇指(thumb)表示许多不同的意思 to thumb one's nose 以大拇指按鼻,其余四指张开,表示轻视。

在英美等国家,你会看到这种手势经常用在调皮的孩子们中间。

他们用大拇指点着自己的鼻子,而其他四指张开不停地摇动,表示
“轻蔑”或“嘲弄”。

to twiddle one's thumbs 无聊地交互绕动着两个大拇指。

表示“无所事事,懒散”。

They kept the manager busy and left me twiddling my thumbs. 他们让经理忙得不可开交,而置我于无所事事之中。

thumbs down 大拇指朝下。

表示反对或拒绝。

thumbs up 翘起大拇指。

表示赞成或夸奖。

但值得一提的是在英美等西方国家,有时会看到有人站在马路边,朝驶过来的车辆
伸出一只翘起大拇指的拳头。

这是请求搭便车的表示。

所以搭车也可以说“to thumb a lift”。
