disasters 英语课件(天灾人祸)

DisastersMembers: Zhan minLu meiliWang weiChen boxiNowadays ,different kinds of disasters break out frequently and it has a great influence on our human-beings . Today our team will have a discussion about the disasters.A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event with great loss stemming from events such as earthquakes,floods, fires, or explosions.Main ideas•Point 1 Nature disasters •Point2 Man-made disasters •Point3 Prevention of disaters •Point4 Measures after disastersNature disasters•Various disasters like earthquake, landslides, volcanic eruptions, flood and cyclones are natural hazards that kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and property each year. The rapid growth of the world's population and its increased concentration often in hazardous environment has escalated both the frequency and severity of natural disasters.Examples•earthquake地震•volcano eruption火山爆发•hurricane飓风•ground sea海啸•waterlog 涝灾•drought disaster旱灾•mountian coast山体滑坡As we all know, Japan was hit by an earthquake ,magnitude 9.0 at around 2:46pm 3.11.2011. This is the biggest earthquake I have ever heard so far in my life.Man-mader disasters•Man-made disasters are disasters resulting from man-made hazards (threats having an element of human intent, negligence, or error; or involving a failure of a man-made system), as opposed to natural disasters resulting from natural hazards. Man-made hazards or disasters are sometimes referred to as anthropogenic.Examples•Crime•Terrorism（恐怖袭击）•War is conflict between relatively large groups of people, which involves physical force inflicted by the use of weapons•Arson is the criminal intent of setting a fire with intent to cause damage.Examples •Financial crisis occur in a commercial context.•radiation contamination:When nuclear weapons are detonated or nuclear containment systems are otherwise compromised, airborne radioactive particles (nuclear fallout) can scatter and irradiate large areas.Examples•Traffic collision are the leading cause of death, and road-based pollution creates a substantial health hazard, especially in major conurbations.•Air disaster is an occurrence other than an accident, associated with the operation of an aircraft, which affects or could affect the safety of operations, passengers, or pilots.911美国恐怖攻击事件On Septflying above in the United States, however, the four planes by the robbers are silent robbed. When Americans just ready to start a day's work, New York's world trade center, continuously happen, crash of the world trade center collapsed, skyscrapers(摩天大楼), crashing into ruins, causing more than 3000 people were killed. The whole the United States have shocked the world, people who stuck into extreme panic has caught the world's shocked, this is in the history of the United States of the most serious disasters.Prevention of disaters•When it comes to disasters, quite a lot of people believe they will come across sudden disasters in their life. To begin with, natural disasters like earthquakes, flood and draught occur now and then; in addition, diseases like Sars, cancer and tumor will attack people unexpectedly; last but not the least, car accidents, plane crashes can’t be ignored as part of disasters.•Why there are so many disasters? The reasons may go as follows: on one hand, some mysteries about nature are beyond our control and understanding; on another hand, people are careless and can’t foresee what will happen beforehand. From what has been discussed above, I may safely draw the conclusion that disasters can’t be avoided now,•but with more knowledge about nature, we’ll certainly reduce the loss brought by them to the smallest degree, so the prospect we are looking forward to will be both bright and encouraging.It is high time for us to take action to protect our planet. We must stop cutting down trees and hunting animals. We have to save water and use paper on both sides. We must try our best to save energy. If we don't do these, we will have nowhere to live. Even a small action is meaningful to our planet. Come on and join us!Measures after disasters•Donate money.捐钱•Pray for them.为他们祈祷。

Unite 2 Man and Man-made Disasters

Unite 2 Man and Man-made DisastersReading A Thousand Paper CranesI.Teaching materialThis is the reading part of the unit Man and Man-made Disasters.The passage A Thousand Paper Cranes is a story about a Japanese girl Sadako Sasaki. She survived from the bomb's explosion, but developed leukaemia ten years later, and finally died. From her story, we can see the severe consequence of war, the consequence not only at the war time, but after the war. In this way, the passage is intended to educate people to fight against war and work for peace.The reading passage is a little long, including eight paragraphs, so it's challenging to approach the story in just one lessen.IL Teaching Objectives(1)Guide students to apply reading skills such as prediction, skimming to work out the main idea.(2)Guide students to use the skill of scanning to pick out specific information.(3)Instruct students to analyse a passage based on its writing style.(4)Encourage students to feel the devastating (消灭性的)consequence of war.(5)Inspire students to think of ways to fight against war and work for peace.IIL Some key wordsatomic bomb, Hiroshima; (presented with a video clip)radiation, leukaemia, paper crane, (presented with pictures)HL Teaching proceduresStage 1 Pre-readingStep 1 Warming-up and leading-ineStep 2 Presenting new vocabulary.Teacher's transitional words:Say, since you've convey your feeling to war, how about the people who experienced the war? What did they go through?Say, can you imagine how the Japanese people feel faced with all these?Let's take a close look in our reading passage.Stage 2 While-readingStep 1 Skim para.l for the main idea.1.What's the writing style of the passage?2.Whafs the main idea of the passage?(Tip: Figuring out the writing style can be of help to guide our reading.)3.How to read a story?Step 2 Skim for the structure.1) Skim for the time order and main idea of the rest paragraphs.(Tip: When we skim for the main idea, we focus on the beginning and ending of each paragraph,)2) Divide the passage into four parts as in the plot of beginning, developing, climax, and ending and working out the main idea of each part.Step 3 Scan para・2・3 and fill in the blanks.A few weeks after the bomb, people who ________ perfectly healthy ________ got ______ , then became ________ , and then just ________ . How ________ and new it was. No one actually knew what __ d oes or what to do to a person beingexposed. However, Sadako lived a __________ , happy life for ten years after being exposed.Step 4 Scan para>4 and judge whether the statements are true or false.1 . Sadako didn't take it serious the first time she felt extremely tired and dizzy.2.Sadako shared the frequent dizziness with her best friend.3.Sadako was diagnosed with leukaemia, which was out of every one's expectation.4.Sadako was the only child who got leukaemia at that time.Step 5 Scan para>5-6 and answer the following questions.1.Why did Sadako decided to fold a thousand cranes?2.How did she finished her first thousand cranes?What happened when she finished that?What was her reaction to that?3.What did folding paper cranes bring to her?4.Did she blame the world for what happened to her?5.What kind of person is Sadako?Step 6 Scan para.7-8 and figure out the things people did for her.Questions:1.What is the role the paper cranes play in the story?2.What best title can you think of for the passage?3.What were the feelings of Sadako and the people caring about her with thestory going?Stage 3 Post-readingStep 1 Feel and share.1.Talk about your feeling after learning the story.2.Discuss ways to fight against war and work for peace.Suggested ways: by folding paper cranes.IVe Home workSay, in this class we focus on the story of Sadako and from her story we can see the severe consequence that war brings to people, especially those young, innocent, pure children like Sadako. Meanwhile, there are still wars around the world, and there are people dying and suffering because of war. So homework is as the following:1.To search more information about war 's consequence, whether video or pictures, especially consequence on children and give your presentation.2.To collect the things we can do to stop war and work for peace among a group members and each group is required to share a report.V. Self- checkBy the end of this class, I have learned:VL The design for blackboardVIL Teaching reflectionBecause time is limited, and the passage is a little long, it's a pity that at last we don't have time to do some other post-reading activities. Students are supposed to learn from Sadako, a typical example, to reflect the nowadays worldwide situation. There arestill wars and people dying and suffering from war. In this way, students can reflect the meaning of learning this passage. It is still important for us human beings to work together to fight against war and work for peace, for you and for me and the entire human being. And students are encouraged and inspired to think of ways to work for peace from the story. So I assign the homework as further research for more information of war in recent and nowadays and the consequence it brings to people, children in particular. And work out a report on the ways to fight against war and work for peace.。

新版典范英语7（旧版6）2 第二篇Noisy Neighbours1Mr FlinchIn a grim, grey house in a grim, grey town lived an unhappy man.It was not his grey house that made Mr Flinch unhappy. It was not that he was poor, because he was not. Mr Flinch was a miser. He never gave away a penny. ( He never gave away a smile either. ) He was a mean and miserable man.Mr Flinch was miserable because of his neighbours.On one side of Mr Flinch’s grim, grey house stood a jolly red one. It belonged to Carl Clutch who mended cars.Carl loved cars – and motorbikes and vans and lorries. Every morning, Mr Flinch woke up to hear hammers banging, spanners clanging and engines revving. The whole street shook with the noise.On the other side, in a bright blue house, lived a music teacher called Poppy Plink. Each morning, Poppy sat down and played grand tunes on her grand piano. After breakfast, her students started to arrive.Violins screeched, drums thundered and bassoons bellowed. Mr Flinch shut his window, but the noise still came through the wall. Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang! His whole house shook and shivered.He put his fingers in his ears.He rapped on the wall … but his neighbours did not hear.They were far too happy. They were mending cars and making music, and they loved their work.Brum – brum, tootle – toot, bang!Mr Flinch rap rapped until he made holes in his wallpaper. It did no good.Mr Flinch locked himself in a cupboard. He wound old towels round his head.He wrote angry letters, but tore them all up. ‘ Stamps cost far too much money!’ he said.Even in bed, he wore a hat to keep out the noise.But the cars still revved and the music still jangled.Mr Flinch was the grey filling in a noise sandwich.‘This can’t go on,’ Flinch thought to hims elf. He even shouted it out loud:2Nasty TricksMr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house. Carl was mending cars. It was easy to sneak into his kitchen and put a dead rat in the fridge.‘That will get rid of him!’ said Flinch, and smiled a nasty smile. ‘Nobody wants to live in a house with rats!’At midnight, Mr Flinch climbed on to his roof and –carefully, carefully –crawled across the tiles. He put his head down Poppy’s chimney and gave a long, loud, ‘Hooowooowoooo!’‘That will get ride of her,’ he said with a grim grin. ‘Nobody wants to live in a house with ghosts!’Then he climbed back into bed.Next morning, Mr Flinch woke to a HUGE noise. Cars and lorries were stoppingoutside. He looked out of his window.Carl was sitting outside in the rood, with a table, a kettle, a loaf of bread and a bottle of tomato sauce.Carl called to Mr Flinch, ‘Can’t use my kitchen today! Rays, urgh! My mum is cleaning up. She told me to eat my breakfast outside. That’s how I got this great idea! Take – away breakfast! Drivers can stop here and buy breakfast.’Just then, Poppy Plink came running out of her blue front door. ‘Oh, Mr Flinch! Oh, Carl! Guess what happened last night!’‘I give up,’ said Mr Flinch, with a sumg smirk. ‘Do tell.’Poppy beamed with joy. ‘Last night, angles sang down my chimney! They did, I promise!’ She frowned. ‘But the music wasn’t very good! I think they want some new songs to sing! I’m sure they want me to write them, and I shall! Oh I shall!’She did.Poppy still had to teach music all day.But at night she wrote angle music. She made it nice and loud, with lots of cymbals and trumpets.It was all too much for Mr Flinch.3Mr Flinch has a PlanMr Flinch went next door to Carl’s house.He showed Carl a fistful o f money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.‘Anything you say, chief,’ said Carl, wiping his dirty hands on a rag.‘As long as I can mend cars, I’ll be happy anywhere.’ Carl went on, ‘I’ll move out as soon as I can sell the house!’Next, Mr Flinch went to Poppy’s house and offered her a hatful of money. ‘The day you move house, all this is yours!’ he said.‘Of course! If that is what you want, dear heart! Cried Poppy.She had never seen so much money in her life. ‘As long as I h ave my music, I can be happy anywhere! I will move out just as soon as I can sell my little house!’Mr Flinch went home a happy man – well, as happy as a man like Mr Flinch can ever be.He felt in his empty pockets and gulped. ‘All that money gone! Ah, but soon those noisy neighbours will be gone, too!’In a few days, Mr Flinch’s neighbours had sold up their houses.Now, at last, he would have peace and quiet – nothing but the noise of mice scratching in the empty cellar.4 Moving DayMr Flinch watched as Poppy Plink moved out. Bo-jangle went the piano as she pushed and bumped it down the steps.‘Going already are you, you pest?’ he mutted. ‘I pity the person who has to live next door to you!’Seeing him, Poppy waved up at the window.‘Such luck, Mr Flinch!’ she called. ‘Fancy! A few days ago, I met someone who wants to move house too! We agreed to swap houses!’Just then, Carl came out of his front door carrying two heavy tool boxes. He saw Poppy struggling with a harp and went to help he r. ‘All set, Poppy? he said.‘All set, Carl! Isn’t this fun!’ She replied.Then Carl moved into Poppy’s bright house and Poppy moved into Carl’s jolly red one.They helped each other to carry the big things, like tables and sofas.Then Carl had a house-warming party. He and Poppy sang, because they were so happy: ‘There’s no place like home!’Mr Flinch heard it right through the wall of his house … even inside his cupboard, even with a towel round his head.。

If you open up anymedicine cupboard or go to any medicine counter in the world, it is likelythat you willfindaspirin and penicillin.Both of these medicines have saved millionsof people's lives and haveproved beneficial to mankindsince they were invented.AspirinAspirin was invented in 1897. However, the basic chemical used to make aspirin can be found in nature. Nearly 3,500 years ago, peoplechewed on leaves or drank a kind of tea made from leaves possessing a special chemical to reduce body pains and fever . About 2,500 years ago, the Greek physician Hippocrates, father of all doctors, made a juice from a tree bark containing salicylic acidfor the same effect. It was in 1897 that a European chemist called Dr Felix Hoffmannproducedaspirin from this chemical . The first trials of this medicine took place in 1899, when the companyHoffmann worked for begandistributing the medicine in powder form to physiciansto use withpatients. A year later, in 1900, aspirin was sold in shops in the form of tablets . Within a short time, aspirin became the best-selling medicine in the world for pain relief .Not only has aspirin proved vital for reducing fever and helping stop pain, but there are also other things that aspirin can help with. Lawrence Craven, a doctor from the USA, introduced the idea in 1953 that aspirin had the potential to reduce the risk of heart attacks , because it helped the blood circulate better. The report was ignored . However, in 1971, Smith and Willis from the UK proved that aspirincould have that effect, and in 1977 a study carried out in the USA showed that aspirin could prevent strokes, as well. Eleven years later, Dr Thun from the USA showed that aspirincould reduce the risk of some cancers by 40 per cent . In 1999, aspirin was over 100 years old, and yet there have been more discoveries about how it can help increase the length of people's lives . In 2003, a Chinese doctor, Dr Y uan Minsheng, found that aspirin could reduce blood sugar levels and,therefore, help people with diabetes.PenicillinAnotherdrug that has helped increase the standard of people's health is penicillin,which isconsidered by many to beone of the most important medicinesin contemporary society . It wasdiscovered by a Scottishscientist named AlexanderFlemingin 1928. He noted that a dish inwhich he was trying to grow bacteria for an experimentlooked abnormal --there was blue mould init. It astonished him to see the bacteria surrounding the mould dead, which meant that the mouldhad killed them. Fleming tried this mould out on another bacterium and found that it killed the bacterium too. He immediately realized that the mould might have an application in treating illnesses caused by bacteria. He named the liquid made from the mould 'penicillin'. However, thedevelopment of penicillin as a drug faced two problems. First, he was unable tofind a procedureto makepenicillinpure enoughto work as a medicine . Second,itwas difficultto producepenicillinin the ample quantitiesneeded to be effective. In 1940, twoother scientists, HowardFlorey(Australian)and Ernst Chain (German-born English), helped solvethese problems, andmanaged to make and test the new drug in large quantities. Since the new drug was needed forWorldWar II, thegovernmentapproval process forpenicillinwas accelerated,and massproduction began in 1944. Due to the widespread use of penicillin , many lives were saved during the war. If penicillin had not been available, many people would have died from sickness or evensmall wounds. Penicillin became the greatest drug of the 20th century, saving millions of lives. In 1945, the three scientists, Fleming, Florey and Chain, shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work.Magic needles: Chinese acupunctureOne of the most famous Chinese medical treatments is the art of 'magic needles', or Chinese acupuncture. It was developed long ago, perhaps as early as 2000 BC. There is evidence that acupuncture began during the Stone Age, when stone tools called bian ( 砭) were used to press areas of the body.As acupuncture developed, the simple bian stones were replaced by stone needles. Eventually, metal needles began to appear and took their place . There were nine different kinds of needles.These included a needle with a head like an arrow , used for making shallow holes in the surface of the skin; a needle with a round tip , used for pressing the tissue under the skin ; a dull needle, used for tapping against pressure points ; and a needle like a small sword, used forletting liquid out ofbody parts which had swollen up . These needles could be made of different metals, such as goldand silver. Some acupuncturists today still use gold and silver needles, but the majority use only stainless steel ones. The main needle now used for acupuncture is fine and sharp. Most of the others have been replaced by more complex medical instruments .For example, the needle lookinglike a sword has been replaced by a sharp knife that doctors use in operations.Acupuncture uses stainless steel needles that are put into the skin at certain points on the bodysothat a disease can be cured or a health problem solved. These points are called acupuncture points .When acupuncture was first practised, there were 365 such points. The number of acupuncturepoints was the same as the number of days in a year. However, over the last 2,000 years, this number has gradually increased to about 2,000 . Some acupuncturists insert needles at or near the body part affected by the disease, while others select points according to the symptoms that thepatient has.If you go to an acupuncturist, he or she will ask you questions about your medical history and your way of life. The acupuncturist will look at the colour of your skin and your tongue, listen to your breathing, and check your pulses.Western medicine only recognizes one pulse which indicates theheartbeat . However, according to traditional Chinese medicine, there are twelve different pulses, six on each wrist, and every one ofthem is connected with a major body organ or its function. By checking all the pulses, the acupuncturist can find out which energy channel does not have enough energy.Some of the medical problems that can be treated by acupuncture include severe pains, headaches, injuries, stomach problems and high blood pressure. Some people have also used acupuncture to treat smokers, alcoholics and people who are addicted to drugs.How acupuncture reduces pain is not clear. One theory explaining this phenomenon suggests that acupuncture blocks pain signals from reaching the brain. Another theory relates acupuncture to the production of chemicals in the body which reduce pain. A lot of people now subscribe to these theories.As a unique contribution of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture spread to many other Asian countries, such as Japan, as early as the 6th century. It was introduced to the West in the 17th century. Today acupuncture has become popular round the world, as have other traditional Chinese medicines. The World Health Organization recommends acupuncture as a good treatment for over forty medical problems. While doubts about its safety have fadedaway, interest continues to grow.两种挽救生命的药物这篇文章将着重讲述两种引发了医学革命的药物。
