A society is thus made up of all walks of life. What kind of person do you want to be in the future? The following introductions may give you some idea.TEACHER Teachers are professionals. They work in schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions. They try their best to help students gain new knowledge and become useful people in society. T eachers are involved in many tasks, such as explaining lessons, giving homework and correcting papers. At the end of every term, they mark test papers and give grades to their students. Actually teachers do more. Often their impact on students stays all through their lives.SURGEON Surgeons, like teachers, are also professionals. As a special group of doctors, surgeons operate on sick people and repair the organs that no longer work properly. Hospitals are their work places. After an operation, a surgeon takes care of the patient’s medical treatment until he gets well. The skills of a surgeon sometimes mean the differences between life and death.SECRETARY A secretary works in an office. The job of a secretary often involves writing letters, answering telephone calls, and receiving people. A secretary stores information on a computer and puts papers in good order in file cabinets. As a link between the boss and the visitors, a secretary also helps the boss work out plans and timetables. Traditionally, more girls than boys work as secretaries. FASHION MODEL Fashion models wear thelatest styles of clothes and show them to us through television, newspapers and magazines. Fashion show programmes usually have a large audience. The clothes and hairstyles of fashion models may seem strange to the elderly, but a large number of young people enjoy following trends and want to be dressed like the models. They collect fashion picturesand admire those superstars of the catwalk.Would you like to be one of the people introduced here? What do you want to do in the future?2. What to choose?Today more and more high school graduates go on to college. Most young people decide their courses of study for themselves. They do not wait for their parents to tell them what career to choose.For example, Jack’s father practices medicine. Even though he wants his son also to become a doctor, he doesn’t insist that Jack study medicine when he finishes high school.He believes that Jack must make up his own mind about his courses of study. His wife, on the other hand, disagrees with him. She thinks that Jack should become a doctor, and so he can become a partner with his father.Jack isn’t sure what he wants t o study in college. One day he feels that he’d like to become an engineer. However, the next day he thinks that perhaps he should study business management. Right now he is studying chemistry, biology, and physics. All of them will be useful if he finally chooses to study medicine in college.Jack likes his father’s attitude, and is grateful that his father isn’t forcing him to become a doctor.In some countries parents often decide what careers theirchildren will follow --- especially their sons. Tchaikovsky(柴可夫斯基,1840-1893,俄国作曲家), the composer of Swan Lake(芭蕾舞剧《天鹅湖》), was asked to study law. He, however, didn’t take an interest in it. Tchaikovsky made a great decision on his own. He gave up his government service later and started to study music.Some people think the young are probably going to be successful because they are doing the things they most want to do in life. Many people, however, disagree with them.3. MichelangeloMichelangelo(米开朗琪罗,1475-1564,意大利文艺复兴时期成就卓著的科学家、艺术家) was an Italian artist about 500 years ago. T oday he is still remembered as a great sculptor, painter, and architect.Michelangelo came from a poor family. He was trained at an early age like any other craftsman in Italy. At thirteen, he started to work and learn in a workshop. The workshop belonged to one of the leading masters at that time. In the workshop Michelangelo was able to learn all the skills of sculpture. However, he wasn’t satisfied, and went on to study the work of the great masters of the past. Michelangelo worked hard and he mastered one problem after another. By the time he was 30, he was generally regarded as one of the outstanding sculptors of the age.In 1508, Michelangelo was given a task --- to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel(位于罗马梵蒂冈的西斯廷教堂). At first, he tried to turn down this job, saying that he was not really a painter, but a sculptor. Finally, he agreed to do it. He then shut himself up in the chapel, let no one come near him, and got ready to work alone.It took him four years to complete the paintings on theceiling. Any ordinary person would find it hard to imagine what Michelangelo had gone through in those four years of hard and lonely work. Michelangelo, while working, had to lie on his back and paint. As a result, he became so used to looking upward that when he received a letter during that period, he had to hold it over his head to read it. Finally, the paintings were completed. The great and huge paintings on the ceiling and walls of the chapel have ever since become a fascination to people in Italy and all over the world.Michelangelo left us with a great number of sculptures and paintings. Today his works are still examples for art students to study and follow. Home and overseas visitors can’t help but admire these masterpieces.4.

《新世纪高中英语》——Unit4HolidaysandFestivals(教学设计)
《新世纪高中英语》——Unit4HolidaysandFestivals(教学设计)第一篇:《新世纪高中英语》——Unit 4 Holidays andFestivals(教学设计)《新世纪高中英语》——Unit 4 Holidays and Festivals(教学设计)一、教材分析这堂课是《新世纪高中英语》(高一)Unit 4 Holidays and Festivals的导入课,lead-in部分呈现了8幅图片,分别为中国和英国的8个主要节日。
课文的主体部分是介绍英国3大节日(复活节,五朔节和圣诞节)。
为让学生更好的理解课文,将复活节的宗教故事作为文化背景知识介绍给学生;关于五朔节(MAY DAY),那是英国庆祝冬天过去,喜迎春夏来临的节日,不是我们所讲的“五一国际劳动节”,这点要跟学生交待清楚,才能更好的掌握课文。
二、学情分析我校是一所农村中学,学生的英语基础普遍较差,但学生的学习积极性较高,刚进入高中不久学生正处于对高中学习的适应阶段,听、说、读、写能力有待于进一步提高,因此在新教材的教学过程应营造了一种动态的、生长性的“生态环境”,使课堂不再是特定知识的载体,而是教师和学生共同探讨新知的地方,这就需要师生之间进一步的磨合协调。
三、教学目标:1、学习、掌握有关记叙文的体裁,在认知理解课文的基础上,学会自主学习;2、发展学生听、说、读、写的基本技能,提高阅读技巧,培养综合语言运用的能力;3、能根据所读材料运用适当语言进行简短交流;4、通过本文学习,使学生了解外国文化,陶冶他们的情操,拓展视野,开发思维能力,发展个性,提高人文素养,形成健康的人生观。
四、重点与难点重点:1、了解记叙文的文体特点,并以此指导阅读;2、训练skimming,scanning,careful reading等阅读技能;3、对文章深层次的理解及细节欣赏。
难点:1、阅读技能的训练;2、对记叙文鉴赏能力与评价。
五、教学过程简述1、课前学生已通过查字典的方式自学了本课所有的生词和主要短语,并布置了学生收集有关中国传统节日的信息,做成英文小报和ppt.作品。

新世纪英语第一册unit 4 课文文本
UNIT 4 TEXTHolidays and Festivals in the United Kingdom There are many national holidays in the United Kingdom. Among them, Easter, and Christmas are two of the most famous.EASTER The date of Easter varies each year. It usually falls in March or April. During the Easter holiday, people give each other chocolate Easter eggs. The eggs are opened and eaten on Easter Sunday. On Good Friday (the Friday before Easter, when Christians observe the day on which Christ died), hot cross buns(复活节前一个星期五吃的十字面包) are sold. They are toasted and eaten with butter. Easter Monday (the day after Easter) is a Bank Holiday. On that day, banks and other major businesses are closed; people may enjoy a trip to the seaside or watch an exciting sports game, such as football, or horse-racing.CHRISTMAS For most British families, Christmas is certainly the most important holiday of the year. Families decorate their houses in bright colours. Usually a Christmas tree is placed in the front room, shining with coloured lights and interesting decorations.On the morning of Christmas Day (December 25), many people go to church to celebrate the birth of Christ(耶稣基督). In the afternoon, they stay at home and open the gifts that were gathered around the tree. Later, they may watch the Queen appear on television to deliver her traditional Christmas message to the whole country. In the evening, the family sit down to a big goose (sometimes turkey) dinner. They round off the meal with pudding, a Christmas specialty.Many traditions are connected with Christmas. For children, the most important one is that of receiving gifts. On Christmas Eve (December 24), they usually leave a long stocking hanging by the bed or by the fireplace. They hope that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents. They are usually not disappointed!December 26, Boxing Day, is also a public holiday. This is the time to visit friends or watch football. Students have several weeks off school for Christmas.。

It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO 国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage(非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop thefish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body. Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.11. The Dragon Boat Festival _______.A. is also kept by South KoreaB. comes from South KoreaC. was created by South KoreaD. is South Korea’s cultural heritage12. What is the reaction of the Ministry of Culture to South Korea’s i ntending to make the Dragon Boat Festival its own culture heritage?A. Fighting against South KoreaB. Telling South Korea it’s not right to do soC. Considering to do the similar thingD. Asking South Korea not to do so.13. What is the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival’s being held?A. In memory of Qu YuanB. In memory of all the patriots of ChinaC. To frighten away the fishD. In honor of QuYuan’s birthday14. After Qu Yuan’s death, Zongzi was thrown into the water to _______.A. feed him.B. protect his body from going bad.C. prevent the fish biting his bodyD. attract his soul15. Now, the Dragon Boat Festival has become ______ activity.A. a nationwideB. a worldwideC. an AsianD. a foreignBPeople in the United States honor their parents with 2 special days: Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May and Father’s Day on the 3rd Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare. These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts〞. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.16.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.17.What do you know from the passage?A. Both festivals are in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.18.Which do you know about “carnation〞?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day.C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.19.On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ___________.A. people sometimes have family partiesB. everyone goes to the cemeteryC. children always go to parents’ homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts.20.What do you think “florists〞 do ?A.

It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage(非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body.Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.11.

These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On mother’s Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It’s also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own pre sents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It’s not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.16.Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A.
