For life, the most important support is food, the source of energy for life, which allows growth, reproduction, and survival.Lines 7-121. what do wild animals do with the food in different seasons? Why do they do so?Wild animals seem to know when there will be plenty of food and when therewon’t. so they eat as much as they can when there is plenty of food so that they can become fat and strong and grow well. In winter, they have little to eat. But they do not starve because the fat they have stored in their bodies brings themthrough this hard time.Lines 13-221. what does “ this is good timing” mean?This means that the female deer uses the most suitable seasons, i.e.summer and fall, for the birth of fawns and the production of milk because both the conception and production cost the female deer much energy and in both seasons there is plenty of food, which meet the deer’s physical needs.Lines 23-311. to what does the author compare the process of fat reserving?A bank savings account, from which one can draw when he needs the money. Lines 32-441.what is the phenomenon of lowering metabolism?The heart rate slows. The animal becomes slow and drowsy. Therefore, the use of and need for energy is reduced.2.what protects the deer from cold winter? How does it work?They undergo physical and internal physiological changes, i.e. the hair growth andthe slow metabolism. The thick hair keeps the deer warm and the slow metabolism makes the deer consume less energy, which is stored in the form of fat for use when they need it for growth.Lines 45-561.what decreases as winter progresses?T he deer’s activities.2.why were people advised to behave like that?To use less oil and electricity for conserving energy to pull through the crisis.3.what does the author imply by “watched the deer”?He implies that men can learn from the deer to reduce unnecessary cost of energy. Lines 57-641.“…to pull them through”. Can you say it in other words?…to help them survive the winter.2.what is the fundamental rule of life?The more fat the deer reserve, the more chance there is for them to survive the crises. Only the largest and strongest are likely to survive.3.Is the fundamental rule of life applicable to human beings?Yes. If we human beings do not protect nature and ourselves by saving energy, we will be punished by nature and will eventually be wiped out from this planet. Lines 65-681.what is the life cycle?Food-energy-life-survival-reproduction-death-food-energy-other life… .Food –energy-seek more food-new energy-food…..Energy is vital to our world.

大学英语(全新版)第四册电子教案Unit Four The Multicultural SocietyI. Teaching objectivesStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea( Man changes nature in order tolive. However, man must also be careful not to disregard the law of nature.) and structure of the text ( A comparison-and-contrast analysis of the two invasions);2.practice their critical thinking ability throughin-depth discussions in issues mentioned in the text;3.master key language points and grammaticalstructures in the text;4.conduct a series of reading, listening , speaking andwriting activities related to the theme of the unit. II. Text AnalysisPeople tend to worship things printed in black and white. Yet we would like to cultivate in our students the ability to think critically. They should understand that not everything they read is true. At the same time they need to be able to , and they should be able to,justify their disbelief.Take Question 1 in the after-text Points for discussion for example. Is Euro-centeredness really phasing out ? The economic and political power still rests with the whites, not the Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanics , or Native Americans. Has white mainstream America really given up on policing the world? The 9/11/2001 event was tragic and should not have happened, but it does show that there are groups strong opposed to what they see as the interference of America and the West in affairs beyond their borders.Let’s look at Question 2. According to the author, Los Angeles is a symbol of the future. Yet he hadn’t anticipated the Los Angeles riots of 1992. (The essay was written before they took place.) During the riots, African Americans attacked Asian Americans, especially Korean Americans. Can the Los Angeles of 1992 stand for racial harmony?Now Question 3. Many Westerners, idea of the non- Western world is dated. However , nowadays the non-Western world, especially Asia, is developing at a rapid pace. People here have acquired quite a strongsense of time. A good case in point: if you observe the subway patrons in Hong Kong, Tokyo or Shanghai, they walk as fast as commuters in major cities in the West.In a word, our students must realize that there are always different perspectives.II.

大学英语(全新版)第四册电子教案Unit Four The Multicultural SocietyI. Teaching objectivesStudents will be able to:1.grasp the main idea( Man changes nature in order to live.However, man must also be careful not to disregard the law of nature.) and structure of the text ( A comparison-and-contrast analysis of the two invasions);2.practice their critical thinking ability through in-depthdiscussions in issues mentioned in the text;3.master key language points and grammatical structures in thetext;4.conduct a series of reading, listening , speaking and writingactivities related to the theme of the unit.II. Text AnalysisPeople tend to worship things printed in black and white. Yet we would like to cultivate in our students the ability to think critically. They should understand that not everything they read is true. At the same time they need to be able to , and they should be able to, justify their disbelief.Take Question 1 in the after-text Points for discussion forexample. Is Euro-centeredness really phasing out ? The economic and political power still rests with the whites, not the Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanics , or Native Americans. Has white mainstream America really given up on policing the world? The 9/11/2001 event was tragic and should not have happened, but it does show that there are groups strong opposed to what they see as the interference of America and the West in affairs beyond their borders.Let’s look at Question 2. According to the author, Los Angeles is a symbol of the future. Yet he hadn’t anticipated the Los Angeles riots of 1992. (The essay was written before they took place.) During the riots, African Americans attacked Asian Americans, especially Korean Americans. Can the Los Angeles of 1992 stand for racial harmony?Now Question 3. Many Westerners, idea of the non- Western world is dated. However , nowadays the non-Western world, especially Asia, is developing at a rapid pace. People here have acquired quite a strong sense of time.
