教材分析与教材重组
1.教材分析
本模块以Foreign Food为话题，通过与饮食文化相关的材料反映了世界各地饮食文化的差异和丰富多彩，从而激发学生的学习兴趣和了解世界饮食文化的愿望，使他们更加热爱生活，追求生活中美好的事物。

本模块所选内容贴近学生生活，教师可以借助听、说、读、写和讨论等一系列扎实有效的教学活动，充分调动学生的积极性，提高其语言运用能力。

1.1INTRODUCTION以几幅食物图片切入话题，然后让学生讨论有关食物的谚语，为后面的阅读做好铺垫。

1.2READING AND VOCABULARY（1）中包括两篇文章：第一篇文章主要通过一个美国人第一次参加中国宴席和吃臭豆腐的经历以及他对于中餐从吃惊到接受的过程，反映了中餐的特点和东西方饮食文化的差异；第二篇是描述一个中国人第一次在英国吃“西餐”的经历，以及因饮食文化的差异所引发的感受。

从这两篇文章，我们可以看出中西方饮食文化的差异。

两者各有千秋，“中餐”种类丰富，味美可口，而“西餐”似乎很简单，但餐桌礼仪却值得我们借鉴学习。

这两篇文章语言简练，幽默风趣。

与课文相关的练习Activities1and3要求学生采用快速浏览的方法确定相关的主题，潜移默化中培养学生skimming这一重要阅读技巧；Activities4and5要求学生掌握与课文相关的语言知识；Activities6 and7要求学生进一步理解课文并在此基础上进行讨论。

StepⅠLead-in
T:Good morning,class!
Ss:Good morning,Mr/Ms...
T:As we know,food is very important in our life.We can’t go without food.Chinese food is famous in the world and we are all familiar with it.In this module we’ll learn something about foreign food.There are lots of differences between Chinese
food and foreign food.Have you ever had foreign food?What do you think of it? S:Yes.I have had at McDonald’s.It was delicious,especially the fried chicken.
S:Yes.I think foreign food is worse than Chinese food.There are many varieties of food in China which are carefully cooked.However,foreigners like raw vegetables and even raw fish.They also like cold food.It is terrible,I think.
S:Yes.In my opinion,though foreign food is not more delicious than Chinese food, their table manners are worth learning.
T:Good.Let’s look at the pictures on Page29.What can you see in the picture? Ss:Many kinds of food.They look very nice.
T:Yes.There are some quotations about food on Page29.Now,read them quickly and then work in pairs and discuss what the quotations mean.
Allow them enough time for the discussion.
Answering the questions
T:Are you ready?
Ss:Yes.
T:What does the first sentence“Everything you see I owe to spaghetti”mean?
S:The saying is from the Italian actress,Sophia Loren.By saying this she means she likes eating spaghetti and it is spaghetti that helps build her good figure.
T:What does the second sentence“Eat little,sleep well”mean?You can answer in Chinese if necessary.
S:吃少睡好。

T:Do you agree?Why?
S:I think it is right,especially for supper.Eating less than enough will do good to our stomachs.And sleeping well is also good to health.
T:What is food to one man may be poison to another.
Ss:一个人的食物可能为另一个人的毒药。

T:Do you agree?Why?
S:I don’t agree.I think the word“poison”is not used properly.I think,what is good food to one man may be bad to another.
S:In my opinion,it means that one should choose his/her food properly.
T:Next,Cookery is not chemistry.It is an art.
S:烹饪不是简单的物质组合，它是一门艺术。

S:I agree.Cookery is not just mixing different food.It needs a lot of skills.
T:If you’re going to America,bring your own food.
S:你要去美国的话，要带上你自己的食物。

T:What’s the meaning of the sentence?
S:That means American food may not be suitable for you.And you will not like it. T:You should eat to live,but not live to eat.
S:吃饭是为了生存，但生存不是为了吃饭。

S:I agree.That means:In order to live,we have to eat;but we live not to eat.
T:Well done!Do you know some similar Chinese quotations about food?
Ss:Yes.For example,冬吃萝卜夏吃姜，不用大夫开药方。

若要小儿安，三分饥三分寒。

T:Good!As we all know,food plays a very important part in our life,but we should be careful in choosing about what to eat.So the quotations here are instructive to us.
