Lesson planNSEFC Module2 Unit1 Reading In Search of the Amber RoomTeacher: 王佳Period：Period1Type：ReadingDuration: 45minutesTeaching ideologyThe current theory view reading as a interactive process which involves not only the printed page but also the reader’s old knowledge of the language in general, the world and the text types. In the reading process, these factors interact with each other and compensate for each other. Based on the understanding of reading as an interactive process, teaching reading in the classroom is divided into three stages in which the top-down and bottom-up techniques integrated to develop the students language efficiency in general and reading strategies. The three stages are pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading.Teaching material and learning condition The analysis of teaching materialThe teaching material is the reading part from NSEFC Module2 Unit1. The topic of this unit is cultural relics and the protection of the culture relics. This passage mainly introduces the history of amber room which is one of the cultural relics in the world. The passage consists of 5 paragraphs. The first paragraph is a general introduction of the amber room. Para.2 to Para.4 introduces the removal and the loss of amber room. The last paragraph tells about the rebuilding of the amber room. The topic is not new to the Ss. But there is some new words and phases in the passage.The analysis of learning conditionThe students are from grade1 in senior high school. As high school students, they have achieved certain English level and they have the ability to get the basic idea of the reading. Since they are in grade1, they are easily activated and want to air their own opinions on the topic. They are familiar with the topic of cultural relics and know some cultural relics in China. But they may not know the amber room before. Moreover, their vocabulary is limited so they may have difficulties in understanding some sentences.Learning objectives1. Language skills●By the end of the class, Ss can predict the content of the passage based on the title.●Ss can scan the passage and find out the specific information such as the person related withthe amber room.●Ss can summarize the passage with the help of the clues of the passage.2.

Learning strategies●Ss will cultivate their ability individual learning and cooperative learning by doing someactivities independently and some in groups.●Ss will communicate with each other in English while doing the group work.Language focuses and anticipated difficultiesLanguage focusesThis is a reading period so the focus is to cultivate the students’ reading skills. The many activities are designed to help S to train their reading skills, such as predicting, skimming, scanning and summarizing.It is also important for the Ss to master the new words and phrases.Anticipated difficultiesAs the Ss have a limited vocabulary, so they may have some difficulties in understanding the passage. So the teacher will help them learn the new words and phrases.Ss may did not heard the amber room before, so the teacher will tell them some background knowledge about it.Teaching methodThree-stage model: Based on the understanding of reading as an interactive process, teaching reading in the classroom is divided into three stages in which the top-down and bottom-up techniques integrated to develop the students language efficiency in general and reading strategies. The three stages are pre-reading, while-reading and post-reading.Teaching aidsMultimedia devices and PPT documents: In order to help Ss to fully understand the whole passage, I adopt Multimedia devices and PPT documents to bring the real-life situation into the classroom.Teaching proceduresStep1.

新课标高一英语第二册第一单元UnitInsearchoftheamberroom寻找琥珀屋翻译
寻找琥珀屋普鲁士国王腓特烈〃威廉一世绝对想不到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有一段令人惊讶的历史。
这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为造这间房子用了数吨的琥珀,被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽,呈黄褐色,像蜜一样。
屋子的设计为当时流行的极富艺术表现力的风格。
琥珀屋这件珍品还镶嵌著黄金和珠宝,全国最优秀的艺术家用了约十年的时间才完成它。
事实上,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。
它是为腓烈特一世的宫殿而建造的。
然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓烈特〃威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。
1716年,他把它送给了彼得大帝。
作为回馈,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。
所以,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。
琥珀屋长约4米,被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。
后来、叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。
她让艺术家们给它增添了更多的装饰。
1770年,这间琥珀屋按她要求的方式完工了。
将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间,里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。
不幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界奇迹之一,可是现在它却下落不明。
1941年9月,纳粹德国的军队逼近了圣彼得堡。
这是两国交战的时期。
在纳粹分子能够到达夏宫之前,俄国人只来得及把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术饰品搬走。
可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子秘密地偷运走了。
在不到两天的时间里,琥珀屋被拆成10万块装进了27个木箱里。
毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,当时它是波罗的海的海边的一个城市。
从那以后,琥珀屋的最终归宿就成了一个谜。
最近俄国人和德国人已经在夏宫建立起了一个新的琥珀屋,通过研究前琥珀屋的照片,他们使得新的琥珀屋的样子与原来的非常相像。
2003年,在圣彼得堡庆祝建市300周年之际,新的琥珀宫完工面世了.。

必修2unit1IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick WilliamⅠ，the King of Prussia,could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history.This gift was the Amber Room,which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-bro wn colour like honey.The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in th ose days.It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels,which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.In fact,the room was not made to be a gift.It was designed for the palace of FrederickⅠ.However,the next King of Prussia,Frederick WilliamⅠ,to whom the amber room belonged,decided not to keep it.In1716he gave it to Peter the Great.In return,the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.So the Amber R oom because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres l ong,the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later,CatherineⅡhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersb urg where she spent her summers.She told her artists to add more details to it.I n1770the room was completed the way she wanted.Almost six hundred candles lit the room,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.Sadly,although the Am ber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world,it is now missing.In September1941,the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.This was a time when the two countries were at war.Before the Nazis could get to the summer p alace,the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects fro m the Amber Room.However,some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days100,000pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs.There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg,which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.After that,what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently,the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the s ummer palace.By studying old photos of the former Amber Room,they have ma de the new one look like the old one.In2003it was ready for the people of St P etersburg when they celebrated the300th birthday of their city.A FACT OR AN OPINION?What is a fact?Is it something that people believe?No.A fact is anything tha t can be proved.For example,it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world.This is a fact.Then what is an opinion?An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial.For example,it is an opinion if you say“Cats are better pets than dogs”.It may be true,but it is di fficult to prove.Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial,a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe.The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where th at person lives or works.He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has give n true information,which must be facts rather than opinions.This kind of informatio n is called evidence.Unit2AN INTERVIEWPausanias,who was a Greek writer about2,000years ago,has come on a m agical journey on March18th2007to find out about the present-day Olympic Gam es.He is now interviewing Li Yan,a volunteer for the2008Olympic Games.P:My name is Pausanias.I lived in what you call“Ancient Greece”and I use d to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago.I’ve come to your time to fi nd out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in2004they w ere held in my homeland.May I ask you some questions about the modern Olymp ics?L:Good heavens!Have you really come from so long ago?But of course you can ask any questions you like.What would you like to know?P:How often do you hold your Games?L:Every four years.There are two main sets of Games-the Winter and Summ er Olympics,and both are held every four years on a regular basis.The Winter Ol ympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games.Only athletes who h ave reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as competitors.T hey may come from anywhere in the world.P:Winter Games?How can the runners enjoy competing in winter?And what about the horses?L:Oh no!There are no running races or horse riding events.Instead there ar e competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice.Th at’s why th ey’re called the Winter Olympics.It’s in the Summer Olympics that you have the ru nning races,together with swimming,sailing and all the team sports.P:I see.Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world.Do you mean the Greek world?Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for the honour of winning.No other countries could join in,nor could slaves or women!L:Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough.Ther e are over250sports and each on has its own standard.Women are not only all owed,but play a very important role in gymnastics,athletics,team sports and…P:Please wait a minute!All those events,all those countries and even women taking part!Where are all the athletes housed?L:For each Olympics,a special village is built for them to live in,a main rece ption building,several stadiums for competitions,and a gymnasium as well.P:That sounds very expensive.Does anyone want to host the Olympic Game s?L:As a matter of fact,every country wants the opportunity.It’s a great respon sibility but also a great honour to be chosen.There’s as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals.The2008Olympics will be held in Beijing,China.Did you know that?P:Oh yes!Y ou must be very proud.L:Certainly.And after that the2012Olympics will be held in London.They ha ve already started planning for it.A new village for the athletes and all the stadiu ms will be built to the east of London.New medals will be designed of course and …P:Did you say medals?So even the olive wreath has been replaced!Oh dear! Do you compete for prize money too?L:No,we don’t.it’s still all about being able to run faster,jump higher and th r ow further.That’s the motto of the Olympics,you know-“Swifter,Higher and Strong er.”P:Well,that’s good news.How interesting!Thank you so much for your time.THE STORY OF ATLANTAAtlanta was a Greek princess.She was very beautiful and could run faster tha n any man in Greece.But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games.She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her.Her father said that she mu st marry,so Atlanta made a bargain with him.She said to him,"These are my rule s.When a man says he wants to marry me,I will run against him.If he cannot ru n as fast as me,he will be killed.No one will be pardoned."Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta,but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless.So many of them sadly went home,but others stayed to run the race.There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules,"Why are these men so foolish?"he thought."Why will the y let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?"How ever,when she saw Atlanta come out of her house to run,Hippomenes changed h is mind."I will marry Atlanta--or die!"he said.The race started and although the man ran very fast,Atlanta ran faster.As Hi ppomenes watched he thought,"How can I run as fast as Atlanta?"He went to ask the Greek Godness of Love for help.She promised to help him and gave him th ree golden apples.She said,"Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is runni ng past.When she stops to pick it up,you will be able to run past her and win."Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King.He said,"I want to marry Atlanta."The King was sad to see another man die,but Hippomenes said,"I will marry her------or die!"So the race beganUnit3WHO AM I?Over time I have been changed quite a lot.I began as a calculating machine i n France in1642.Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums.I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytic al machine by Charles Babbage.After I was programmed by an operator who use d cards with holes,I could“think”logically and produce an answer quicker than an y person.At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my“artificial intelligence”.In1936my real father,Alan Turing,wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a“universal machine”to solve any difficult math ematical problem.From then on,I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower.By the1949s I had grown as large as a room,and I wondered if I would grow any la rger.However,this reality also worried my designers.As time went by,as was ma ke smaller.First as a PC(personal computer)and then as a laptop,I have been u sed in offices and homes since the1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improved.First it was st ored in tubes,then on transistors and later on very small chips.As a result I totall y changed my shape.As I have grown older I have also grown smaller.Over time my memory has developed so much that,like an elephant,I never forget anythingI have been told!And my memory became so large that even I couldn’t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself,until in early1960s they ga ve me a family connected by a network.I was able to share my knowledge with o thers through the World Wide Web.Since the1970s many new applications have been found for my.I have beco me very important in communication,finance and trade.I have also been put into r obots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations.I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars.A nyhow,my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality.I am now truly fill ed with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!ANDY–THE ANDROIDI’m part of an android football team.About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football.I’m as big as a human.It fact,I look like on e too.On the football team I’m a striker so I have to be able to run very fast.My computer ships help me to move and think like a human.For example,I have le arned to signal to my teammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good for a goal.My first football competition was in Nagoya,Japan several years st yea r our team went to Seattle,Washington in the USA.We won second place.Person ally,I think the team that won first place cheated.They had developed a new type of program just before the competition.So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too.We are determined to create an even better syste m.In a way our programmer is like our coach.She programs us with all the possi ble moves she has seen while watching human games.Then she prepares reliablemoves to use if a new situation arises.In this way I can make up new moves us ing my“artificial intelligence”.I could like to play against a hu man team,for I have been programmed to act just like them.After all,with the help of my electronic br ain which never forgets anything,using my intelligence is what I’m all about!Unit4HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEDaisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife.One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed.“Where do you want to go?”it ask ed.Daisy responded immediately.“I’d like to see some endangered wildlife,”she s aid.“Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater.”At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet.There d aisy saw and antelope looking sad.It said,“We’re being killed for the wool beneat h our stomachs.Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.As a result,we are now an endangered species.”At that Daisy cried,“I’m sorry I didn’t know that.I wonder what is being done to help you.Flying carpet,please show me a place where there’s some wildlife protection.”The flying carpet traveled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe.Dai sy turned around and found that she was being watched by and elephant.“Have y ou come to take my photo?”it asked.In relief Daisy burst into laughter.“Don’t lau gh,”said the elephant,“We us ed to be an endangered species.Farmers hunted us without mercy.They said we destroyed their farms,and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies.So the government decided to help.They allowe d tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers.Now t he farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing.So good things are being d one here to save local wildlife.”Daisy smiled,“That’s good news.It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I’d like to help as the WWF suggests.”The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest.A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself.“What are you doing?”asked Daisy.“I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes,”it repl ied.When I find a millipede insect,I rub it over my body.It contains a powerful dr ug which affects mosquitoes.Y ou should pay more attention to the rainforest wher e I live the appreciate how the animals live together.No rainforest,no animals,no drugs.”Daisy was amazed.“Flying carpe t,please take me home so I can tell WWF a nd we can begin producing this new drug.Monkey,please come and help.”The m onkey agreed.The carpet flew home.As they landed,things began to disappear.T wo minutes later everything had gone-the monkey,too.So Daisy was not able to make her new drug.But what an experience!She had learned so much!And there was always WWF…ANIMAL EXTINCTIONMany animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth.The most f amous of these animals are dinosaurs.They lived on the earth tens of millions of y ears ago,long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at t hat time.There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to liv e in China.The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia,County,Nanya ng,Henan Province.Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was disc overed in Chaoyang County,Liaoning Province.When scientists inspeacted the bones, they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the othersbut also climb trees.They learned this from the way the bones were joined togethe r.Dinosaurs died out suddenly about65million years ago.Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth a nd put too much dust into the air.Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosa ursto live on any more.Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappear ed from the earth in such a short time.We know many other wild plants,animals,insects and birds have died out mor e recently.According to a UN report,some844animals and plants have disappeare d in the last500years.The dodo is one of them.It lived on the Island of Mauritius and was a very friendly animal.Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it dis appeared frome the earthUnit5THE BAND THAT WASN’THave you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert,at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music?Do you sing karaoke an d pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Lin Huan?T o be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous.But just how do people form a band?Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play th eir own music.They may start as a group of high-school students,for whom practi cing their music in someone’s hours is the first step to fame.Sometimes they mayplay to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra mon ey for themselves or to pay for their ter they may give performance s in pubs or clubs,for which they are paid in cash.Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!However,there was one band hat started in a different way.It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show.The musicians were to play jokes on each oth er as well as play music,most of which was based loosely on the beatles.The T V organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing.Th ey put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians,but they could only find one who was good enough.They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.As some of these actors could not sing well enough,they had to rely on other musicians to help them.So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing.An yhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by clubs in order to get more familiar with them.Each week on TV,the Mondees would play and sing songs written by other musicians.However,after a year or so in which they beca me more serious about their work,the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band.Then they produced their own records and started touring and play their own music.In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.The band broke up about1970,but happily t he reunited in the mid-1980s.they produced a new record in1996,with which the y celebrated their former time as a real band.FREDDY THE FROG(II)Not long after Freddy and the band became famous,they visited Britain on a b rief tour.Fans showed their devotion by waiting for hours to get tichkets for their co ncerts.Freddy was now quite confident when he went into a concert hall.He enjoye d singing and all the congratulations afterwards!His most exciting invitation was to perform on a programme called"T op of the Pops."He had to go to London,wear a n expensive suit and give a performance to a TV camera.It felt very strange.But as soon as the programme was over,the telephones which were in the same room st arted ringing.Everybody was asking when they could see Freddy and his band agai n.They were truly stars.Then things went wrong.Freddy and his band could not go out anywhere witho ut being followed.Even when they wore sunglasses or beards people recognized th em.Fans found them even when they went into the toilet.They tried to hide in the reading rooms of libraries,but it was useless.Someone was always there!Their pers onal life was regularly discussed by people who did not know them but talked as if they were close friends.At last feeling very upset and sensitive,Freddy and his ba nd to which they were never to return,and went back to the lake必修3unit1Festivals and celebrationsFestivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancien t times.Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather,planting in s pring and harvest in autumn.Sometimes celebratewould be held after hunters had c aught animals.At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find,especially during the cold winter months.Today’s festivals have many origins,some religious, some seasonal,and some for special people or events.Festivals of the DeadSome festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors,who mi ght return either to help or to do harm.For the Japanese festival.Obon,people shoul d go to clean graves and light incense in

this i mpoutant feast day,people eat food in the shape of skulls and cakes with”bones”on them.They offer food,flowers and gifts to the dead.The Western holiday Halloween also had its origin in old beliefs about the return of the spirits of dead people.It i s now a children’s festival,when they can dress up and to to their neighbours’home s to ask for sweets.Ifthe neighbours do not give any sweets,the children might play a trick on them.Festivals to Honour PeopleFestivals can also be held to honour famous people.The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet,Qu Yuan.In

her friends right n ow laughing at him.She said she would be there at seven o’cl ock,and he thought she would keep her word.He had looked forward to meeting her all day,and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates,like a fool.Well,he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize.He would drown his sa dness in coffee.It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave-he wiped the tables,then sat down and turned on the TV-just what Li Fang needed!A sad Chinese story about lost love.The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visted the earth.Her name was Zhinü,the weaving girl.While she was on earth she met the herd boy Niulang an d they fell in love.(“Just like me and Hu Jin,”thought Li Fang.)They got married sec retly,and they were very happy.(“We could be like that,”thought Li Fang.)When the Goddess of Heaven knew that her granddaughter was married to a human,she b ecame very angry and made the weaving girl return to Heaven.Niulang tried to foll ow her,but the river of stars,the Milly Way,stopped him.Finding that Zhinüwas he art-broken,her grandmother finally decided to let the couple cross the Milky Way t o meet once a year.Magpies make a bridge of their wings so the couple can cros s the river to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.People in Chin a hope that the weather will be fine on that day,because if it is raining,it means that Zhinüis weeping and the couple won’t be able to meet.The announcer said,”This is the story of Qiqiao Festival.When f oreigners hear about the story,they call it a Chinese Valentine’s story.It’s a fine day today,so I h ope you can all meet the one you love.”As Li Fang set off for home,he thought,”I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me.I’ll j ust throw these flowers and choco lates away.I don’t want them to remind me of h er.”So he did.As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home,he heard a voice calling him.There was Hu Jin waving at him and calling,“why are you so late?I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!And I have a gift for you!”What would he do?He had thrown away her Valentine gifts!She would never f orgive him.This would not be a happy Valentine’s Day!。

Unit 1 Cultural RelicsIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country’s best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter palace in Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.A FACT OR AN OPINIONWhat is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is something that someone believes is true but has not been improved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs.” It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.。

Heis now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.P: My name is Pausanias.I li ved in what you call “ AncientGreece ”and I used towrite about the Olympic Games a long time ago. I’ ve come to your time to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they were heldin my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics?L:Good heavens! Have you really come from so long ago? But of course youcan 103fask any questions you like. What would you like to know?P: How often do you hold your Games?L:Every four years. There are two main sets of Games-the Winter and SummerOlympics, and both are held every four years on a regular basis. The Winter Olympicsare usually held two years before the Summer Games. Only athletes who havereached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as competitors. Theymay come from anywhere in the world.P:Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter? And whatabout the horses?L: Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events. Instead there are competitionslike skiing and ic e skating which need snow and ice. That ’ s why they called the Winter Olympics. It ’ s in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with swimming, sailing and all the team sports.’ reP:I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world. Do you meanthe Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for thehonour of winning. No other countries could join in, nor could slaves or women!L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough. There areover 250 sports and each on has its own standard. Women are not only allowed,but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team sports and⋯P:Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even womentaking part! Where are all the athletes housed?L:For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a mainreception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well.P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. It ’ s a great responsib but also a great honour to be chosen. There ’ s as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals. The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that?P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.L:Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London. They havealready started planning for it.

That ’i t. ’still all about being able to run faster, jump higher and throw ’s the motto of the Olympics, you-“knowSifter, Higher and Stronger.”P: Well, that’ s good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.THE STORY OF ATLANTAAtlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him,"These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned."Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules,"Why are these men so foolish?" he thought. "Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?" However, when she saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind."I will marry Atlanta--or die!" he said.The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, "How can I run as fast as Atlanta?" He went to ask the Greek Godness of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said," Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run p 103fast her and win."Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said," I want to marry Atlanta ." The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said," I will marry her------or die!" So the race began.Unit 3WHO AM I?Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in Francein 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed veryslowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analyticalmachine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cardswith holes, I could“ think” logicallyduceandanproanswer quicker than any person.At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my“intelligence” . In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could bemade to work as a“ universal machinesolve”anyto difficult mathematical problem.From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1949s I hadgrown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, thisreality also worried my designers. As time went by, as was make smaller. First as aPC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homessince the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored intubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changedmy shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memoryhas developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!And my memory became so large that even Icouldn ’ t believe it! But I was always solonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960s they gave me a family connectedby a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World WideWeb.Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for my. I have become veryimportant in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots andused to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have evenbeen put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goalis to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness thatI am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!ANDY –THE ANDROIDI ’ m part of an android football team. About once a yearwe are allowed to get togetherto play a game of football. I’ m as big as a human. It fact, I look like one too. On the football team I ’ m a striker so I have to be able to run very fast. My computer ships helpme to move and think like a human. For example, I have learned to signal to myteammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have agood for a goal.My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year ourteam went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, Ithink the team that won first place cheated. They had developed a new type of programjust before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve ourintelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. In a way ourprogrammer is like our coach. She programs us with all the possible moves she hasseen while watching human games. Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a newsituation arises. In this way I can make up new moves using my “ artificialintelligence ” . I could like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed toact just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgetsanything, using my intelligence is what I ’ m all about!Unit 4HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFEDaisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke upand found a flying carpet by her bed. “ Where youdo want to go?” it asked. Daisyresponded immediately.“ I’ d like to see some endangered wildlife,” she said. take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make thissweater. ”onceAt the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There d103faisy saw and antelope looking sad. It said,“ We’ re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result,we are now an endangered species. ” At that Daisy cried,“ I’ m sorry I didn’ t know I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place wherethere ’ s some wildlife protection.”The flying carpet traveled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisyturned around and found that she was being watched by and elephant. “ Haveyoucome to take my photo?” it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter.“ Don’ t said the elephant,“ We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted tus withou mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to thelarge tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists tohunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers arehappy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to savelocal wildlife.”Daisy smiled,“ That’ s good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, butI ’ d like to help as the WWF suggests.” The carpet rose again andcealmostthey at onwere in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself.“ What are doing? ”asked Daisy. “ I ’protectingm myself from mosquitoes, it”replied. When Ifind a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug whichaffects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live theappreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs.”Daisy was amazed. “ Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and wecan begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help. ”The monkeyagreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Twominutes later everything had gone-the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make hernew drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was alwaysWWF⋯ANIMAL EXTINCTIONMany animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth.The most famousof these animals are dinosaurs.They lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago,long before humans came into being and their future seemed secure at that time.There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live inChina.The eggs of twenty-five species have been found in Xixia,County,Nanyang,Henan Province.Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like dinosaur was discovered in ChaoyangCounty,LiaoningProvince.When scientists inspeacted the bones,they weresurprised to find that these dinosaurs could not only run like the others but also climbtrees.They learned this from the way the bones were joined together.Dinosaurs died out suddenly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think itcame after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and puttoo much dust into the air.Others think the earth got too hot for the dinosaursto live on any more.Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappearedfrom the earth in such a short time.We know many other wild plants, animals,insects and birds have died out morerecently.According to a UN report,some 844 animals and plants have disappeared inthe last 500 years.The dodo is one of them.It lived on the Island of Mauritius andwas a very friendly animal.Please listen to a story of the dodo and how itdisappeared frome the earth.Unit 5THE BAND THAT WASN’THave you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Haveyou ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretendyou are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Lin Huan? To be honest, a lot of peopleattach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band?Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play theirown music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whbacom practicing their music in someone ’ s hours is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra moneyfor themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances inpubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make recordsin a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!However, there was one band hat started in a different way. It was called theMonkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each otheras well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the beatles. The TVorganizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They putan advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only findone who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on othermusicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing.Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by clubs in order toget more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Mondees would play and singsongs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they becamemore serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songslike a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playtheir own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles andsold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happily the reunited inthe mid-1980s. they produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.FREDDY THE FROG(II)Not long after Freddy and the band became famous,they visited Britain on a brief tour.Fans showed their devotion by waiting for hours to get tichkets for their concerts.Freddy was now quite confident when he went into a concert hall.He enjoyed singing and all the congratulations afterwards!His most exciting invitation was to perform on a programme called "Top of the Pops."He had to go to London,wear an expensive suit and give a performance to a TV camera.It felt very strange.But as soon as the programme was over,the telephones which were in the same room started ringing.Everybody was asking when they could see Freddy and his band again.

寻找琥珀屋
普鲁士国王腓特烈〃威廉一世绝对想不到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有一段令人惊讶的历史。
这件礼物就是琥珀屋,它之所以有这个名字,是因为造这间房子用了数吨的琥珀,被选择的琥珀色彩艳丽,呈黄褐色,像蜜一样。
屋子的设计为当时流行的极富艺术表现力的风格。
琥珀屋这件珍品还镶嵌著黄金和珠宝,全国最优秀的艺术家用了约十年的时间才完成它。
事实上,琥珀屋并不是作为礼物而建造的。
它是为腓烈特一
世的宫殿而建造的。
然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓烈特〃威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。
1716年,他把它送给了彼得大帝。
作为回馈,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。
所以,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。
琥珀屋长约4米,被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。
后来、叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到了圣彼得堡郊外避暑的宫殿中。
她让艺术家们给它增添了更多的装饰。
1770年,这间琥珀屋按她要求的方式完工了。
将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间,里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。
不幸的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界奇迹之一,可是现在它却下落不明。
1941年9月,纳粹德国的军队逼近了圣彼得堡。
这是两国交战的时期。
在纳粹分子能够到达夏宫之前,俄国人只来得及把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术饰品搬走。
可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子秘密地偷运走了。
在不到两天的时间里,琥珀屋被拆成10万块装进了27个木箱里。
毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,当时它是波罗的海的海边的一个城市。
从那以后,琥珀屋的最终归宿就成了一个谜。
最近俄国人和
德国人已经在夏宫建立起了一个新的琥珀屋,通过研究前琥珀屋的照片,他们使得新的琥珀屋的样子与原来的非常相像。
2003年,在圣彼得堡庆祝建市300周年之际,新的琥珀宫完工面世了.。
