人教版英语必修四4Unit4(Showing Our Feelings)课程教学设计
Book4 Body LanguageShowing Our Feelings教学设计河北饶阳中学王晓莉一、教学内容(Teaching Content)人民教育出版社普通高中课程标准试验教科书英语必修四Body Language第三课时---Showing Our Feelings.二、教学设计(Teaching Plan)(1)教学思路本单元的中心话题是“身势语”,各项活动的设计都围绕着这个主题进行。
身势语是非语言交际手段中非常重要的一个方面,它通过无声的语言表达一个人的内心世界。
与有声语言一样,身势语也是文化的载体,在跨文化交际中起着举足轻重的作用。
了解身势语的不同文化涵义并正确地加以运用,会在交际场合中起到意想不到的好效果。
通过本堂课的学习,学生们能够了解世界各地的人们表达各种各样的情感、愿望和态度,“读懂”我们周围人的意思。
整个教学过程以“ 以学生为学习主体” 为设计理念,采用设置任务和小组讨论的形式组织教学,将学生的自主学习调动起来并把这样的活动作为课堂的主体,引导学生完成学习任务。
(2)课前准备要求学生预习课文Showing Our Feelings,并找出我们周围人们是怎样表达快乐、不高兴、愤怒、厌烦等情感的。
三、学生情况分析我们的学生绝大多数来自农村,学习英语的条件有限,大部分是上了初中才开始学习英语,所以英语意识淡薄,知识薄弱。
面对这样一群孩子,吸引他们对英语的兴趣是关键,因此我在这节课中使用了大量的图片,一方面吸引他们的注意力,引起兴趣,另一方面很大限度地帮助了学生们对这篇课文的理解。
四、三维目标(Teaching Aims)(1)知识目标(Knowledge Aims)让学生了解“身势语”的概念,掌握身势语的不同文化涵义并正确地加以运用。
通过阅读熟悉本课的相关单词、短语及重点句型,如spoken, unspoken, likely, be likely to, in general, at ease, etc.(2)能力目标(Ability Aims)提高学生的阅读能力,训练学生skimming和scanning的阅读技巧,提高学生归纳总结、善于提取有用信息的能力; 在教学总过程中锻炼学生听、说、读、写各方面的技能,培养学生独立思考和合作学习的能力; 快速获取信息和处理信息的能力。

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Afri ca. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chi mps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and wa its in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Th en we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. Ho wever, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her b abies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observi ng and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she firs t arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to be gin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For exampl e, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until th en everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chi mps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped h er work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leadin g a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps.I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never f orget ..."She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their o wn environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of wo men.WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I ch oose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I s at down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a speci alist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had b een very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing b ooks and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a smallbook explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free fr om sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thoug ht needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text andrealized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at t hat time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second t o boys'. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me r ealize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that go t her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Li n Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiao zhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a famil y of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely deliver ed. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qia ozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my st udies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and….必修4 Unit 2 A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping consider s himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburntface and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping g rows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pion eer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice ma kes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now mor e than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born into a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest A gricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been hi s life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. D r Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. I n a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vi etnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Th anks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hung er. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being f amous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rath er keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life a lso means very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much mon ey has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equi p others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dre am about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can b e grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a pers on who loves and cares for his people.CHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease an d increase production. Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-ter m use of these fertilizers can cause damage to the land and, even more dangerou s, to people's health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they dam age the land by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This aff ects crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the cro ps and cannot just be washed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up in people's bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead to cancer or other ill nesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but insi de there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to tu rn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, ofte n prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes th e soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They oft en change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing cor n or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soy beans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to u se different levels of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the ground's surfa ce followed by vegetables that put down deep roots. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year's crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid damaging the environment or people's health.必修4 Unit 3 A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the hu man face", and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Ch aplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made people laugh at a time when they felt depre ssed, so they could feel more content with their lives.Not that Charlie's own life was easy! He was born in a poor family in 1889. H is parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing thatCharlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially wh en the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of th e most popular child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordi nary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him -his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tr amp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoe s and a small round black hat. He walked around stilly carrying a walking stick. Th is character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination t o overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth centu ry and gold has just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little t ramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Inst ead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather sho es for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest stea k. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe th at it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 h e was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 197 7. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with gr eat confidence.ENGLISH JOKES1 There are thousands of jokes which use "play on words" to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is a nother kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these c ustomer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1 C: What's that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2 C: What's that?W: It's bean soup.C: I don't want to know what it's been. I want to know what it is now.3 C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.2 Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokes about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor W atson. Read it and decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. Th ey were lying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the st ars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you thin k of?" Watson replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has l asted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you really think of?." Watson trie d again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and h ow warm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You shoul d be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!"必修4 Unit 4COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student associati on, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international student s. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to th eir dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for th eir flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking aroun d curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other,I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Ak ira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. J ust at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving h and. They both apologized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yes terday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulo n from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smili ng face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, sinc e that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Musli m countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not to uch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "bo dy language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfor table in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings u sing unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture. English pe ople, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South Americ an countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most peop。

The following is one of those jokes about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor W atson. Read it and decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. Th ey were lying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the st ars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you thin k of?" Watson replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has l asted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you really think of?." Watson trie d again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and h ow warm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You shoul d be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!"必修4 Unit 4COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student associati on, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international student s. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to th eir dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for th eir flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking aroun d curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other,I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Ak ira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. J ust at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving h and. They both apologized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yes terday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulo n from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smili ng face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, sinc e that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Musli m countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not to uch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "bo dy language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfor table in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings u sing unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture. English pe ople, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South Americ an countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures us e other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures hav e developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are ve ry general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, tho ugh, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's wo rld of cultural crossroads!SHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often ev en more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds o f feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile –its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are tru ly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses fa ce" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone showsanger. Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry a nd threatening another person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the h ead up and down is used for agreement, almost worldwide. Most people also unde rstand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning wi ll, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward a nd look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not belie ve what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. St anding at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some si milarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!必修4 Unit 5THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit?

Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced survi ving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to t he bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlig ht. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face w ith a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-bas ed theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visit ors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar sys tem. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. L earning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much mote.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets ar e also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfe ct mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For an yone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, mos t of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within ea sy reach of the freeway.

Unit 1 Women of achievementReadingA STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa.Following Jane’s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity ofthe day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree thenight before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family beings towake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warnsus that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Them we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. Werealize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as long as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to helpher for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed theway people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts.She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system.Four forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set upOnce I special places where they can li v e safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: “stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It’s terrible. I t affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they luck?’ And then Ithink about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have”seen that you can never forget…She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their ownive in the forest as men environment, gaining a doctor’s degree and showing that women can lcan. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievement of women.Using languageWHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORD?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose tostudy at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at thecomputer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist inwomen’s diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy inher chosen career, traveling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One ofthem caught my eye. I was a small book explaining how to cut the death rate from havingand caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean,healthy and free from sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that LinQiaozhi thought needed this advice?I looked carefully at the text and realized that it wasintended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could notreach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time.That was a generation when girl’s education was always placed second to boys’.Was she somuch cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work anddetermination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made hersucceed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. Therewas story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliv a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiaozhi haddevoted her whold life to her patients and had chosen not to have a family of her own.Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely delivered. By this time I wasvery excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qiaozhi and carry on her good work?It was still not too late for me to improve my studies, prepare for the university entranceexaminations, and…Unit 2 Working the landA PILNEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China’s most famous scientists, Yuan Longping considers himself afarmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburnt face and arms and hisslim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he hasstruggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping grows what is called super hybridrice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pioneer in the world to grow rich that has ahigh output. This special strain of rice makes it possible to produce one-third more of thecrop in the same fields. Now more than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is fromthis hybrid strain.Born in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest Agricultural College in 1953. Sincethen, finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal. As a young man, he saw thegreat need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem inmany parts of the countryside. Dr Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests withoutexpanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty milliontons of rice. In a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice wasproduced. These increased harvests mean that 22% fo the world’s people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vietnamand many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Thanks to hisresearch, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hunger. Using his hybridrice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn’t care about being famous.He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rather keep time forhis hobbies. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading.Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life also means very little to him.Indeed, he believes that a person with too much money has more rather than fewer troubles.He therefore gives millions of yuan to equip others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr Yuan had a dream aboutrice plants as tall as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing akind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has anotherdream: to export his rice so that it can be grown around the globe. One dream is not alwaysenough, especially for a person who loves and cares for his people.Using LanguageCHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming.Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease and increase production.Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-term use of these fertilizers cancause damage to the land and, even more dangerous, to people’s health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they damage theland by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals alsostay in the ground and underground water for a ling time. This affects crops and, therefore,animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the crops and cannot just be washed off.ime. Many of theseThese chemicals in the food supply build up in people’s bodies over tchemicals can lead to cancer or other illnesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other foodgrown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They maylook beautiful, but inside there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to turn to organicfarming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus onkeeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps cropsgrow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, often prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes the soil in their fields richer in minerals andso more fertile. This also keeps the air, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They often changethe kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing corn or wheat and thenthe next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soybeans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to use different levels of soil, for example, planting peanutsthat use the ground’s surface followed by vegetables that put down deep roots.Someorganic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carryingaway the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the nextyear’s crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to growngood food and avoid damaging the environment or people’s health.Unit 3 A state of English humourReadingA MSTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, “Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Chaplin. He brightenedthe lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between.He made people laugh at a time when they felt depressed, so they could feel more contentwith their lives.Not that Charlie’s own life was easy!He was born in a poor family in 1889. his parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing that Charlie was taughtto sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially when the family income was oftenuncertain. Unfortunately, his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spenthis childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had,through his humour, become one of the most popular child actors in English. He couldmime and act the fool doing ordinary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watchinghim— his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as hischarming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tramp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoes and a small round black hat. He walked around stiffly carrying a walking stick. This character was a social failurebut was loved for his optimism and determination to overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from oneof his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth century and gold has just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little tramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Instead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry thatthey try boiling a pair of leather shoes for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest steak. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. I he eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe that itis one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 he was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in English and the USAbut spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 1977. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with great confidence.Using languageENGLISH JOKESOne person asks1. There are thousands of jokes which use “play on words” to amuse us.a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is another kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these customer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1. C: What’s that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2. C: What’s that?W: It’s bean soup.I want to know what it is now.C: I don’t want to know what it’s been.3. C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.ExplanationA The first person is asking for information about time. The second person treats it as a question about shape.B The first person is angry about something and wants to say, “Why is this here?” The second person treats it as a request for information and gives an answer to the question.C The answer to the question contains a word which, when spoken, can have twomeanings.2. Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokesabout the famous detective Sherlock Homes and his friend Doctor Watson. Read it anddecide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Homes and Doctor Watson went camping in an mountainous area. They warelying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Homes looked up at the stars and whispered,“Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you think of?” Watson replied,of how short life is and how long the universe has lasted.”“No, no, Watson!” HomeWatson tried again. “I think of how small I am and how“what do you really think of?” Said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. “I“Try again, Watson! ” vast the sky is.” Holmes said,think of how cold the universe is and how warm people can be in their beds.” “Watson, you fool! You should be thinking that someone has stolen our tent! ”Unit 4 Body LanguageReadingCOMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university’s student association, wentThey werethe Capital International Airport to meet this year’s international students.coming to study at Beijing University.

高中英语必修四:《Unit5 Theme Parks》优质教学设计及教学反思
Unit 5 Theme ParksLesson1 Fun and More Than Fun教学设计课后教学反思本节课是必修4 Unit5 Theme Parks 中Lesson1 Fun and more than fun. 介绍了主题公园的含义和世界上三大著名主题公园,让我们知道在主题公园中人们不仅身心得到放松,而且也能受到教育和获得知识。
现对本节课的反思如下:二.本堂课教学中的亮点:1. 课堂结构设计完整,针对阅读课采用的Pre-reading, While-reading, Post-reading 模式;设计题目由易到难,练习和培养了学生的听,说,读,写能力。
2.课堂设计独到,任务性强。
《课程标准》中指出,本课程倡导任务型的教学模式,让学生在教师的指导下,通过感知、体验、实践、参与和合作等方式,实现任务的目标,感受成功,实现了英语在真实情境中的应用。
3、在教学环节或教学活动中,灵活采用集体问答、个人或小组活动等多种形式,让全体学生主动并乐意地参与课堂教学活动,同时,让学生在一定程度上形成自主学习,有效交际、信息处理、英语思维能力。
4. 选题符合学生的兴趣出发点,使学生对该课表现出极大地热情。
因学生对主题公园了解较少,又属于娱乐主题,而且涉及的均是世界著名的主题公园,因此学生能积极投入到课堂中。
5. 学生能够用心思考主题公园的含义,且能用英语将其流利正确地表达出来,说明学生平常注重英语学习的实际应用。
6.多媒体的制作漂亮,美观,使用恰当。
应用了视频和听力录音。
尤其是关于迪斯尼乐园的视频,在开始成功地将学生吸引到了课堂中。
二.本堂课值得改进的地方:1、在对课文理解时有些题目设计较难,学生回答时稍显不自信,紧张。
2. 提问时本节课是学生自愿站起来回答,其实必要时应提问学生。
3.discussion部分稍显仓促,留给学生的时间太少,限制了学生自主学习和互相交流的机会及充分表现和自我发展的空间。

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFEIt is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Afri ca. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chi mps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and wa its in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Th en we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. Ho wever, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her b abies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family.Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observi ng and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she firs t arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to be gin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For exampl e, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until th en everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chi mps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped h er work out their social system.For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leadin g a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps.I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never f orget ..."She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their o wn environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of wo men.WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK?I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I ch oose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I s at down at the computer to do some research on great women of China.By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a speci alist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had b een very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing b ooks and articles. One of them caught my eye. It was a smallbook explaining how to cut the death rate from having and caring for babies. She gave some simple rules to follow for keeping babies clean, healthy and free fr om sickness. Why did she write that? Who were the women that Lin Qiaozhi thoug ht needed this advice? I looked carefully at the text andrealized that it was intended for women in the countryside. Perhaps if they had an emergency they could not reach a doctor.Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at t hat time. That was a generation when girls' education was always placed second t o boys'. Was she so much cleverer than anyone else? Further reading made me r ealize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that go t her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all her patients. There was story after story of how Li n Qiaozhi, tired after a day's work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.By now I could not wait to find out more about her. I discovered that Lin Qiao zhi had devoted her whole life to her patients and had chosen not to have a famil y of her own. Instead she made sure that about 50,000 babies were safely deliver ed. By this time I was very excited. Why not study at medical college like Lin Qia ozhi and carry on her good work? It was still not too late for me to improve my st udies, prepare for the university entrance examinations, and….必修4 Unit 2 A PIONEER FOR ALL PEOPLEAlthough he is one of China's most famous scientists, Yuan Longping consider s himself a farmer, for he works the land to do his research. Indeed, his sunburntface and arms and his slim, strong body are just like those of millions of Chinese farmers, for whom he has struggled for the past five decades. Dr Yuan Longping g rows what is called super hybrid rice. In 1974, he became the first agricultural pion eer in the world to grow rice that has a high output. This special strain of rice ma kes it possible to produce one-third more of the crop in the same fields. Now mor e than 60% of the rice produced in China each year is from this hybrid strain.Born into a poor farmer's family in 1930, Dr Yuan graduated from Southwest A gricultural College in 1953. Since then, finding ways to grow more rice has been hi s life goal. As a young man, he saw the great need for increasing the rice output. At that time, hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside. D r Yuan searched for a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields. In 1950, Chinese farmers could produce only fifty million tons of rice. I n a recent harvest, however, nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced. These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in China. Dr Yuan is now circulating his knowledge in India, Vi etnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests. Th anks to his research, the UN has more tools in the battle to rid the world of hung er. Using his hybrid rice, farmers are producing harvests twice as large as before.Dr Yuan is quite satisfied with his life. However, he doesn't care about being f amous. He feels it gives him less freedom to do his research. He would much rath er keep time for his hobbles. He enjoys listening to violin music, playing mah-jong, swimming and reading. Spending money on himself or leading a comfortable life a lso means very little to him. Indeed, he believes that a person with too much mon ey has more rather than fewer troubles. He therefore gives millions of yuan to equi p others for their research in agriculture.Just dreaming for things, however, costs nothing. Long ago Dr yuan had a dre am about rice plants as tall as sorghum. Each ear of rice was as big as an ear of corn and each grain of rice was as huge as a peanut. Dr Yuan awoke from his dream with the hope of producing a kind of rice that could feed more people. Now, many years later, Dr Yuan has another dream: to export his rice so that it can b e grown around the globe. One dream is not always enough, especially for a pers on who loves and cares for his people.CHEMICAL OR ORGANIC FARMING?Over the past half century, using chemical fertilizers has become very common in farming. Many farmers welcomed them as a great way to stop crop disease an d increase production. Recently, however, scientists have been finding that long-ter m use of these fertilizers can cause damage to the land and, even more dangerou s, to people's health.What are some of the problems caused by chemical fertilizers? First, they dam age the land by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones. Chemicals also stay in the ground and underground water for a long time. This aff ects crops and, therefore, animals and humans, since chemicals get inside the cro ps and cannot just be washed off. These chemicals in the food supply build up in people's bodies over time. Many of these chemicals can lead to cancer or other ill nesses. In addition, fruit, vegetables and other food grown with chemical fertilizers usually grow too fast to be full of much nutrition. They may look beautiful, but insi de there is usually more water than vitamins and minerals.With these discoveries, some farmers and many customers are beginning to tu rn to organic farming. Organic farming is simply farming without using any chemicals. They focus on keeping their soil rich and free of disease. A healthy soil reduces disease and helps crops grow strong and healthy. Organic farmers, therefore, ofte n prefer using natural waste from animals as fertilizer. They feel that this makes th e soil in their fields richer in minerals and so more fertile. This also keeps the air, soil, water and crops free from chemicals.Organic farmers also use many other methods to keep the soil fertile. They oft en change the kind of crop in each field every few years, for example, growing cor n or wheat and then the next year peas or soybeans. Crops such as peas or soy beans put important minerals back into the soil, making it ready for crops such as wheat or corn that need rich and fertile soil. Organic farmers also plant crops to u se different levels of soil, for example, planting peanuts that use the ground's surfa ce followed by vegetables that put down deep roots. Some organic farmers prefer planting grass between crops to prevent wind or water from carrying away the soil, and then leaving it in the ground to become a natural fertilizer for the next year's crop. These many different organic farming methods have the same goal: to grow good food and avoid damaging the environment or people's health.必修4 Unit 3 A MASTER OF NONVERBAL HUMOURAs Victor Hugo once said, "Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the hu man face", and up to now nobody has been able to do this better than Charlie Ch aplin. He brightened the lives of Americans and British through two world wars and the hard years in between. He made people laugh at a time when they felt depre ssed, so they could feel more content with their lives.Not that Charlie's own life was easy! He was born in a poor family in 1889. H is parents were both poor music hall performers. You may find it astonishing thatCharlie was taught to sing as soon as he could speak and dance as soon as he could walk. Such training was common in acting families at this time, especially wh en the family income was often uncertain. Unfortunately his father died, leaving the family even worse off, so Charlie spent his childhood looking after his sick mother and his brother. By his teens, Charlie had, through his humour, become one of th e most popular child actors in England. He could mime and act the fool doing ordi nary everyday tasks. No one was ever bored watching him -his subtle acting made everything entertaining.As time went by, he began making films. He grew more and more popular as his charming character, the little tramp, became known throughout the world. The tr amp, a poor, homeless man with a moustache, wore large trousers, worn-out shoe s and a small round black hat. He walked around stilly carrying a walking stick. Th is character was a social failure but was loved for his optimism and determination t o overcome all difficulties. He was the underdog who was kind even when others were unkind to him.How did the little tramp make a sad situation entertaining? Here is an example from one of his most famous films, The Gold Rush. It is the mid-nineteenth centu ry and gold has just been discovered in California. Like so many others, the little t ramp and his friend have rushed there in search of gold, but without success. Inst ead they are hiding in a small hut on the edge of a mountain during a snowstorm with nothing to eat. They are so hungry that they try boiling a pair of leather sho es for their dinner. Charlie first picks out the laces and eats them as if they were spaghetti. Then he cuts off the leather top of the shoe as if it were the finest stea k. Finally he tries cutting and chewing the bottom of the shoe. He eats each mouthful with great enjoyment. The acting is so convincing that it makes you believe th at it is one of the best meals he has ever tasted!Charlie Chaplin wrote, directed and produced the films he starred in. In 1972 h e was given a special Oscar for his outstanding work in films. He lived in England and the USA but spent his last years in Switzerland, where he was buried in 197 7. He is loved and remembered as a great actor who could inspire people with gr eat confidence.ENGLISH JOKES1 There are thousands of jokes which use "play on words" to amuse us. One person asks a question which expects a particular reply. Instead, what he gets is a nother kind of answer which makes the situation funny. Now read some of these c ustomer and waiter jokes. Can you match the joke with the explanation?1 C: What's that fly doing in my soup?W: Swimming, I think!2 C: What's that?W: It's bean soup.C: I don't want to know what it's been. I want to know what it is now.3 C: Waiter, will the pancakes be long?W: No, sir. Round.2 Some jokes are longer and tell a short, funny story. The following is one of those jokes about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor W atson. Read it and decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reasons.Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson went camping in a mountainous area. Th ey were lying in the open air under the stars. Sherlock Holmes looked up at the st ars and whispered, "Watson, when you look at that beautiful sky, what do you thin k of?" Watson replied, "I think of how short life is and how long the universe has l asted." "No, no, Watson!" Holmes said. "What do you really think of?." Watson trie d again. "I think of how small I am and how vast the sky is." "Try again, Watson!" said Holmes. Watson tried a third time. "I think of how cold the universe is and h ow warm people can be in their beds." Holmes said, "Watson, you fool! You shoul d be thinking that someone has stolen our tent!"必修4 Unit 4COMMUNICATION: NO PROBLEM?Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student associati on, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international student s. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to th eir dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for th eir flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking aroun d curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other,I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Ak ira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. J ust at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving h and. They both apologized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yes terday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulo n from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smili ng face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, sinc e that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz., on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Musli m countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not to uch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "bo dy language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfor table in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings u sing unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture. English pe ople, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South Americ an countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures us e other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures hav e developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are ve ry general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, tho ugh, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's wo rld of cultural crossroads!SHOWING OUR FEELINGSBody language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often ev en more powerful than spoken language. People around the world show all kinds o f feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud. It is possible to "read" others around us, even if they do not intend for us to catch their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can be misread, but many gestures and actions are universal.The most universal facial expression is, of course, the smile –its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. It does not always mean that we are tru ly happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone "loses fa ce" and smiles to hide it. However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. In most places around the world, frowning and turning one's back to someone showsanger. Making a fist and shaking it almost always means that someone is angry a nd threatening another person.There are many ways around the world to show agreement, but nodding the h ead up and down is used for agreement, almost worldwide. Most people also unde rstand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people or yawning wi ll, in most cases, make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward a nd look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not belie ve what I am hearing or do not like it.Being respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture, but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. In almost every culture, it is not usually good to stand too close to someone of a higher rank. St anding at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.With so many cultural differences between people, it is great to have some si milarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!必修4 Unit 5THEME PARKS —FUN AND MORE THAN FUNWhich theme park would you like to visit? There are various kinds of theme p arks, with a different park for almost everything: food, culture, science, cartoons, m ovies or history. Some parks are famous for having the biggest or longest roller coasters, others for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. Whichever a nd whatever you like, there is a theme park for you!The theme park you are probably most familiar with is Disneyland. It can be f ound in several parts of the world. It will bring you into a magical world and make your dreams come true, whether traveling through space, visiting a pirate ship or meeting your favourite fairy tale or Disney cartoon character. As you wander aroun d the fantasy amusement park, you may see Snow White or Mickey Mouse in a p arade or on the street. Of course Disneyland also has many exciting rides, from gi ant swinging ships to terrifying free-fall drops. With all these attractions, no wonder tourism is increasing wherever there is a Disneyland. If you want to have fun and more than fun, come to Disneyland!Dollywood, in the beautiful Smoky Mountains in the southeasternUSA, is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. Dollywood shows a nd celebrates America's traditional southeastern culture. Although Dollywood has rid es, the park's main attraction is its culture. Famous country music groups perform t here all year in indoor and outdoor theatres. People come from all over America to see carpenters and other craftsmen make wood, glass and iron objects in the old-fashioned way. Visit the candy shop to try the same kind of candy that American s outherners made 150 years ago, or take a ride on the only steam- engine train stil l working in the southeast USA. You can even see beautiful bald eagles in the wo rld's largest bald eagle preserve. And for those who like rides, Dollywood has one of the best old wooden roller coasters, Thunderhead. It is world-famous for having the most length in the smallest space. Come to Dollywood to have fun learning all about America's historical southeastern culture!If you want to experience the ancient days and great deeds of English knights and ladies, princes and queens, then England's Camelot Park is the place for you. Every area of the park is modelled after life in the days of King Arthur and the K nights of the Round Table. In one place, you can watch magic shows with Merlin t he Wizard. If you want to see fighting with swords or on horseback, then the jousti ng area is a good place to visit. If you do well there, King Arthur may choose you to fight in the big jousting tournament. Do you like animals? Then visit the farm a rea, and learn how people in ancient England ran their farms and took care of thei r animals. To enter a world of fantasy about ancient England, come to Camelot Pa rk!FUTUROSCOP —EXCITEMENT AND LEARNINGLast week I took a journey deep into space, to the end of the solar system, a nd was pulled into a black hole. Then I took a trip to Brazil and experienced survi ving an airplane crash in the jungle. After that, I joined some divers and went to t he bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures that have never seen sunlig ht. For a break, I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world. I ended my travels by meeting face to face w ith a dinosaur, the terrible T-Rex, and survived the experience!I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope. Opened in 1987, Futuroscope is one of the largest space-age parks in the world. This science and technology-bas ed theme park in France uses the most advanced technology. Its 3-D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond. Visit ors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced, going to the bottom of the ocean, flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar sys tem. The amazing, up-to-date information together with many opportunities for hands-on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors. L earning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments, as well as learn more about space travel, the undersea world and much mote.I bought tickets for myself and my friends at the park's entrance, but tickets ar e also available online. Futuroscope is not only for individuals, but is also the perfe ct mix of fun and learning for class outings. Classes or other large groups that let Futuroscope know their plans in advance can get the group admission rate. For an yone coming from out of town, Futuroscope has many excellent hotels nearby, mos t of which provide a shuttle service to the park. If driving, Futuroscope is within ea sy reach of the freeway. Plan your trip well before starting, since Futuroscope has so many shows, activities and great souvenir shops that it is difficult to see them all. Come ready to walk a lot - be sure to wear some comfortable sneakers or oth er walking shoes!。
