单元话题阅读Passage 1Once there was a man traveling in a faraway village.As he was passing the elephants,he suddenly stopped.He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg.No chains(锁链),no cages.It was clear that the elephants could,at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away.“Well”, the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them.As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away.They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes.But because they were always stuck right where they were, they believed theycouldn’t.Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?In a word, we should never give up the struggle in life.Passage 2To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.For a start, all the information in a story must be correct.Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.Any mistakes that appear (出现) in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong.He wasn’t the first.The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.A news story is not only correct,but also relevant to its readers.People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them.That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools.It is also why newspapers in Beijing don ’t t alk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally, news must always be fresh.When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happened that day.You don’t want to read about news from last week!So, now you know what makes a good news story.Have a good lookat our newspaper and see if it is full of good news!You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.Passage 3Long ago there was a poor farmer called Fred.Fred and his wife, Doris lived happily together in their small old house.One winter night, the Luck Fairy (仙女) visited them.“Fred, you’re a good farmer.I’d like to give you a wish,” said the Luck Fairy.“A wish?” said Fred.Fred and Doris smiled at each other.Then Fred said, “Thank you, Luck Fairy.We’re very healthy and happy.”“Though we’re old, we still work in the field every day,” said Doris.“You work very hard but you make very little money. Would you like some gold coins?” asked the Luck Fairy.“Oh no, my dear Luck Fairy.We’re poor. But we have enough food to eat.” replied Fred.“You can use the gold coin to buy some clothes.The winter here is very cold,” said Luck Fairy.“Though we haven’t got many clothes, we’ve got enough,” saidDoris.“Well, what about a nice new house?” asked Luck Fairy.“Thank you, but I love my small old house very much.I’ve lived here since I was born.I don’t need a new house,” said Fred.“You’re quite different from other people.I like you very much,” said the Luck Fairy.“I wish you happiness and luck forever.” Then the Luck Fairy disappeared and never came back.Passage 4One day a huge rock fell from a mountain.The rock rolled down and stopped in the middle of a road in a village.It was like a big ball.Some of the strongest men in the village tried to lift the rock.But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t move it away.They tried to push it, they tried to roll it, they tried to pull it with ropes but nothing worked.“Well”, they agreed.“There’s nothing we can do about it.We’ll have to buil d another road.”All the time a young boy about 12 years old was standing by.“Excuse me,sir,” he said, “but I think I can help you move the rock.”“You?” they shouted, “What are you talking about? All of us have just tried, and even together we can’t move it at all.” The men all laughed at the boy.The next morning some people came into the street.One of them shouted, “The rock is gone.It’s gone.” More people ran out into the street to see.In fact, no one could see the rock anywhere.“This is impossible,” they said,“Where has it gone?” The twelve-year-old boy stood out, smiling.“I moved it last night,” he said, “I dug a deep hole next to the rock and the rock rolled down into the hole by itself.Then I covered it with earth.”Passage 5When we think about writing poems or understanding poetry, we often think that it’s hard to do. But nothing could be further from the truth.Are you a fan of the latest pop group? Do you like to listen to music? Did your mother ever sing a song to you as she tried to get you to sleep? Songs are just poems set to music. They have both the wonderful words of poetry and the sweet sound of music to go along with.Writing poems is not really all that hard. Through writing poems, you learn how to use a language well. You have to use your imagination. You have to choose the best word to describe exactly how you feel or what you see. You might be trying to describe a beautiful sunset. You think that the words “melting in the distance” or “dropping quietly against th e sea” would be a good way to describe it. You have to decide which would be better. Would you like to write a poem? Go ahead. It’s really not that difficult.。

Empowering the Girls“时代楷模”张桂梅让上千名贫困女孩昂首走出大山。
ON a small hill in Huaping (华坪), Yunnan, there is a small school. However, over the past 12 years, it has rewritten the fate (命运) of 1,804 poor girls by sending them to universities.Zhang Guimei, now 63, is the principal (校长) of this school. She began teaching in Huaping —one of China’s poorest areas — twenty years ago. The teacher wondered why many girls in her class would just one day stop coming to school. After some investigation s, Zhang learned that they were from very poor families. These girls were forced to work or get married at a young age. “We often say that we want every child to have a fair start,” she said. “But these poor girls don’t even have a chance to stand on the starting line.”Zhang wanted to change this. She spent years trying to raise money. Finally, in 2008, she set up the Huaping High School for Girls. It’s China’s first and only free public high school for girls.Zhang gets up at 5 a.m. every day to turn on the lights on each floor of the teachingbuilding. Many girls are timid (胆怯的), the principal explains. She wants them to feel safer on their way to classes. After years of tiring work, Zhang is now in poor health, but the school and the children matter more than anything else in her mind.Zhang’s story has warmed hearts all around China and inspired many to follow in her footsteps. Zhou Yunli was one of her students. After she finished university, she heard that her alma mater (母校) was short of math teachers. She immediately returned to the school to teach. “Without Ms. Zhang, I would be nobody,” Zhou said with a smile. “When you become strong, you must remember to help others. This is what Ms. Zhang taught us.”Amazon Rainforest Now Release s More Carbon Than It Absorb s 科学家首次证实，亚马孙雨林部分地区的二氧化碳排放量超越其吸收量。

Bring life to national treasures by singingAt the beginning of 2018, a TV programme called National Treasure introducing valuable cultural relics(文物) of our country went popular. People learnt stories and had more interest in the treasures. Now, we have a new way to know more about the ancient paintings in the Palace Museum through music.Tencent's QQ Music and the Palace Museum together held a songwriting competition, Ancient Paintings Can Sing(古画会唱歌).The competition was open to songwriters between 17 to 35, and the songs must be based on ten ancient paintings at the Palace Museum. The winners could sing their works with pop singers at a concert held at the Palace Museum in October.Yi Yangqianxi, a member of the famous group TFBOYS, sang the theme song, Magnificent Landscape in Painting (《丹青千里》), for the competition. The idea of the song came from the famous painting A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains(《千里江山图》). It was shown in the TV programme and now it's in the Palace Museum.The writer, Fang Wenshan, wrote the lyrics(歌词) of the song. He is famous for using cultural images in the lyrics. And the music is a modern style, including traditional Chinese musical instruments, such as guzheng and pipa.The music video of the song came out online on 25 July, 2018, which was also the beginning of the competition.Hou Deyang from the Tencent Music said that this competition could encourage young Chinese musicians to make more works and catch young people's attention to traditional Chinese art forms.（1）How can people learn more about the ancient paintings in the Palace Museum according to the passage?

TV programmes make people's life more interesting.People learn much from TV. Students can study by watching some educational programmes. People can see news, weather reports, programmes about science and computers.But not all the programmes are good enough. Today, there are some programmes about crime.

Maybe they can read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture. Since 1995, about 24 million people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff week.TV-Turnoff Network says watching TV too much can bring children big problems with school, health and family. They want kids to watch less TV. What do you think?Bad for children's studiesAmerican scientists did a study of 1, 300 children. They watched the children for four years. They say that if children watch lots of TV, they don't do well in school.Bad for children's healthStudies show that when children watch lots of TV, they eat more unhealthy food. More children are getting overweight. Overweight children become ill more easily. Watching too much TV is also bad for their eyes.Bad for family lifeAbout 40% of American families watch TV at dinner time. That means that they don't talk very much when they eat together.Also, too many violent(暴力的) thingsAn American study says that before a child turns 18 years old, that child will see 200, 000 violent things on TV. Some kids become violent in real life.If you want to learn more about this unusual week, you can go to this website, www. tvturnoff. org.（1）When is TV-Turnoff week?A．From 19 April to 25 April.B．Any week in April.C．The first week in April.D．It doesn't tell us.（2）What do children do during that week?A．They watch TV much less.B．They go to this website, www. tvturnoff. org.C．They read some books, or learn to swim, or paint a picture.D．Both A and（3）What can we learn from the passage?A．About three fifths of American families watch TV when they have dinner.B．The children who watch too much TV will do well in school.C．Children in America aren't allowed to see violent things on TV until they are 18.D．Millions of people in America have taken part in TV-Turnoff week since 1995.DNowadays, phone calls and messages help us get in touch with others. It means that we seldom write letters now. But a TV show, Letters Alive(《见字如面》), is bringing back this old habit.Letters Alive invites famous actors and actresses, but there are no funny jokes or competitions. It's just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter. The letters were written by people from different times in history. For example, in one period, they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941. The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future.“Every letter opens another world for us, ” according to Guan Zhengwen, the director of the TV show. “We can also touch the heart of the writers'. ” Since its first period on December 5, LettersAlive has been widely praised.

The children turned it on first thing in the morning and again when they got back from school. My husband and I were no better. We'd spend the evening together talking about very little but what programme was on at that time. Then the family decided, after lots of arguments (争论), that we would try to do without a TV for one year. We nagged(唠叨) on the Internet and everyone was allowed to watch some of the recorded programmes—if they had a good reason for doing so. ” And so, on 24 July last year, the Carling family sold their TV.Eleven months have now gone by and Philippa believes the experiment(实验) has own a great success. As she explains, “We were all surprised at how easy it was. The immediate result was we all started to read a lot more, including the children. We spend time together after dinner playing board games around the table and the children finish their homework a lot quicker than before. We talk about what will happen when the year comes to an end and the children have always said they want the TV back. Butthey've also agreed that life has been good without it. ”So will the TV return when the year comes to an end next month?“We're not sure, ” says Philippa. “We might decide to buy a new one or we might not.

It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word "green" means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenborn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenborn was a young cow or an ox whose borns (角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenborn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenborn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).

教学建议
本节课的重点在于对课本阅读材料处理及读后写作能力的提升，难点在于读后的写作输出。本课文章学生不陌生，不易引起学生的兴趣，文章篇幅较长，学生易产生阅读疲倦，初中学生的抽象思维能力比较低，形象思维能力强，但注意力容易分散。因此我采用问题引领学生的思维，多设计引发学生深度思考的问题，多拓展学生不知道的文化知识，充分利用多媒体和视频资料，激起学生的求知欲和好胜心，吸引学生去读。以问题为内驱力，注重启发引导，培养学生分析、概括能力，让课堂真正成为学生的课堂，让学生学得愉快。同时在发展学生英语语言运用能力的过程中，帮助他们学习、理解和鉴赏中外优秀文化，培育中国情怀，坚定文化自信，拓展国际视野，增进国际理解，逐步提升跨文化沟通能力、思辨能力、学习能力和创新能力，形成正确的世界观、人生观和价值观，实现英语学科的育人价值，使英语学科素养落地。

九年级英语人教版上册素材：Unit 4 拓展阅读一
Ideas of Home Have ChangedA great many people, when they speak of home, tend to associate it with a certain atmosphere, certain physical surroundings, and certain emotional attitudes within themselves. This sentimentality toward home is something that has come down to us from the past. Many modern people do not have it, and I think it is a good thing that they do not.In the old days life was difficult. Enemies could attack you and kill or rob you, and you had little protection against them. People did not live in well-built houses where doors could be locked. They did not have the protection of an organized police force or telephones which could summon(召唤) the police instantly. How did this influence the way people felt about home? Small family groups clung tightly together for protection against beasts and against other men. Only the bravest went beyond the small family area. Even in the Middle Ages only the most daring went to lands beyond sea. The human pursuit of security conditioned (受制约) men to love their homes. I am sure that this feeling must have been very strong among the early settlers of the United States who were obliged, by famine（饥荒） and oppression(镇压), to take the plunge and go to the new land where they knew no one and where they were subject to Indian attack. We can see this even today in the attitudes of minority groups who, because of a feeling of insecurity, still preserve cohesive(紧密结合的) family ties.Today, thanks to modern transportation and well-organized societies, thousands of people willingly and eagerly leave the surroundings where they were born, and the oftener they do so, the less sentiment they are likely to have for those surroundings. I lived in England for three years, and I noticed that boys and girls left their parents' homes and lived in dwellings(住处) of their own. There they could just telephone and ask an agency to provide them with a house or an apartment, which was their home. How has the meaning of this word home been altered(改变) by such activity? What does home mean to those people or to families who often move about, living in first one hotel and then another? I believe that for them home means a place where they can have privacy.This idea of home as being a place of privacy is emerging in my country, Saudi Arabia (沙特阿拉伯), where the young are abandoning(放弃) their parents' homes to live their own life. As for me, the atmosphere and surroundings of the place where my parents live have no sentimental attachment. Home is where I can shut the door and be by myself. At the moment it is a room in Eaton Hall. When I left my parents several years ago, I was anxious to leave. You might call it unfeeling(无感觉的), but that was the way I felt. On the day of my departure for the United States, my grandmother sobbed and wept. My father, however, indicated that he understood how I felt. "Son," he said, "I am not sorry that you are leaving us. I only hope that you make the most of your time."。

Do you know how to be green?
We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you. Reduce
Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary—or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
Reuse
Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don’t use a paper cup of a paper bag. It’s better to use a china cup and a lunc h box because you can use them again.
Recycle
Recycle means “change things into something else”. Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your
neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.
So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.。
