(you can also shake hands with the person.) nice to meet you. (only used when meeting someone for the first time.)but if we meet a stranger in the street, and we have no choice but to start a conversation with him, what shall we do to make both of you feel comfortable and at ease? how do you introduce yourself to them? greeting a stranger, e.g., before asking him/her questions. excuse me, (sir/madam) / hello! what else is important besides saying “excuse me, or hello”? (students give their own opinions, including body language, and facial expressions, also the mood, strategy)sentences for references: 1. i’m … from…. i’d like to ask you a few questions about your opinions about….2. my name is…. i’m from….. i’d like to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind. it’s for / to…. step 4 practice now that we know how to greet others. it’s time for us to practice a dialogue with our partner. here on the bb are some sentences for us to make up our dialogue. ss may begin their conversation as follows: s1: good morning/ afternoon. s2: good morning/ afternoon. s1: my name is … i’m a member of our school students’ union. i’d like to ask you a few questions if you don’t mind. s2: certainly not. what do you want to know? s1: your articles are often published in some newspapers and magazines. i know you were asked to write an article for our school magazine. could you please tell me what you’re going to talk about? s2: …. about the students’ interests and hobbies. s1: oh, that must be very interesting. which…like best? s2: …. s1: thank you. which…like least? more questions:1. how do you know what other students think about their interests and hobbies?2. how many students are interested in…?3. what about …? …remember you should greet him first and ask him/her the questions. the listeners should not look at your sentence, just listen and answer the questions. now let’s begin! (ask two or three pairs to act out their dialogue before the class.)step 5 skills building 3: analyzing statisticsso you know, we can get information or statistics by asking questions or doing interviews. here, as our homework, we also did an interview about our interests and hobbies. we’ve got the statistics we need. but that’s not the end of our task. we have the numbers, but what do all these numbers mean to us? what conclusions can we make from these numbers? and what should we do to improve some shortages, if there are any? what suggestions can we give to help with decisions? that’s the goal of our survey.look at this sentence: over 80 percent of the students in our school have an english-english dictionary.now analyse 80%. we can draw conclusions: an english-english dictionary is very useful. it is easy to get an english-english dictionary. (ss can draw more conclusions)after we draw conclusions from statistics, we have to make appropriate recommendations based on the conclusions. that is one of our major goals when conducting a survey. according to the conclusions we made above, we can make a recommendation: every student who is studying english should have an english-english dictionary. (ss give more recommendations.)here are some statistics gathered from a school survey about students’ hobbies and interests. analyse the statistics and draw at least three more conclusions. then make your recommendations. (see page 56 pie chart) (ss write down the sentences in the book. they can discuss in pairs.)(help the students to analyse the statistics and give conclusions and recommendations)conclusions: 1. playing sports is the most popular activity for students in the school.2. the second popular activity for ss in the school is surfing the internet.3. most ss in the school do not like reading.4. only a few students in the school like playing musical instruments.recommendations:1. the school should have more sports facilities.2. the school should find ways to arouse ss’ interests in reading.3. the school should guide students in surfing the internet.4. the school should take measures to make more ss become interested in playing musical instruments.this is our report about the survey, and it’s important we write a report after the survey.step 6 practice now let’s look at the statistics we made just now. let’s see what conclusions and recommendations we can make. are they the same with the ones in our book?(draw chart on ppt.) ss analyse the statistics in pairs and give conclusions first, then recommendations. conclusions: (ss write the sentences on the bb) recommendations: (ss write the sentences on the bb)(students discuss in pairs or groups. put the conclusions and recommendations on either end of the bb. ss can come to the bb and write down their answers without putting up their hands.)step 7 writing a report1. page 53, questionnaire. ss practice the interview in pairs, and get the answers. they can use the vocabulary on page 55.2. in groups of four. one of the students will be the boss. ask the rest of the members questions on page 55.3. page 57. suppose you are the boss of the best book club. here are some statistics gathered from the survey. try to analyse them and write down your report. practice in pairs before speaking before the class.

1). 某学校对中学生课余活动进行了调查，结果如下。 请根据表1中提供的信息描述学生每天的课余活动，并针对图标2中任何一个数据中反映的情况写出你的一个看法。

①图表1中六项活动及所用的时间

②图表2中一个数据反映的情况

chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after-class activities. the students put the most time—93 minutes—into their homework, and next in line is watching tv, which takes up 46 minutes. they put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer, 34 minutes and 30 minutes each. while 25 minutes is spent on sports, only 12 minutes goes into housework.

as is shown on chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. i think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class. this way, they may be healthier and more energetic。

2). 以下是某中学对该校200名同学（男女生各100）的择业理想做出调查后所绘制的图表。 请根据该图表反映的情况用英语写一篇报道。期中应包括：①数据信息 ②男女择业的差异与共同点 ③对比最大的职业

middle school students have some idea about their future jobs. the most striking contrast is in teaching: 30 percent of girls would like to become teachers while only 5 percent of boys want to do this job. 20 percent of boys want to do business and another 20 percent want to become lawyers while girls take up 15 percent in these two fields.

what boys like to do most is to become managers (30％) and the second largest group would like to be scientists (25％). besides teaching, the second choice for girls is to be scientists (20％) and managers (20％).the number is not small. girls also expect to show their ability in these two fields.

1. “i’ll see you on monday morning!” called mike’s mom through the car window.

aunt ann was going to have a garage sale this saturday. mike was staying to help. he and his mom had collected various things which were useless to them: baseball gloves, camping articles, tools, handbags, old records, tapes, silver spoons, scarves...

译文：

“我周一早上再见你！”迈克的妈妈透过车窗嚷道。

这周六安姨要搞一个宅前旧货出售，迈克留在这儿帮忙。他和他妈妈收集了各种各样对他们来说没用的东西，如：棒球手套、野营物品、工具、手袋、旧唱片、磁带、银匙、围巾等

知识点：1) have a garage sale

2) various things

3) called mike’s mom through the car window

through 通过, 穿过, 经过, 遍及, 贯穿, 以……, 经由…… 例如：

go through

walk through

drive through

through, along 和across 的区别：

(1) along 表示“沿着”，通常用于狭长的东西：

i saw him running along the road. 我看见他沿着这条路跑。

we walked along the river. 我们沿河散步。

(2) across 和 through 都可表示“横过”或“穿过”，前者主要表示从某物的表面“横过”，涉及“面”的概念；而后者则表示从某个空间内“穿过”，涉及“体”的概念：

he walked across the road carefully. 他小心地走过马路。

he walked through the forest alone. 他独自一人走过森林。

有时 across 表示“横过”也可表示在“体”内进行，但此时它仍与through 有差别：前者表示从某个“体”的一端到另一端，而后者表示穿过两端

he walked across the hall. 他从大厅的一端走到另一端。

he walked through the hall. 他穿过大厅。

2. “what’s the first thing we need to do?” asked mike.

“well, i think we could set up the tables. we’ll have to start pretty early tomorrow morning. people may come before we get ready.”

together, they set up a long table where they could place the small objects. they also strung up a clothesline to hang old clothes. then they carried all the articles out to the yard. it took them hours to divide the things into categories, and place them in the right place. when they finished. it was almost dark.

译文：

迈克问：“我们需要干的第一件事是什么？”

“喔，我觉得我们该支起桌子，我们明天早上得很早开始，人们可能在咱们准备好前就来了。”

他俩一起支起了一张长桌子，把一些小的物品放在上面。他们还拉起了一根晾衣绳，将旧衣服挂在上面。然后，他们把所有物品拿到院子里。把这些东西分类并摆好， 花了他们好几个小时的时间。当他们干完活时，天几乎黑下来了。

知识点：

1) set up the tables

2) place the small objects

3. “mike, can you think of anything we are forgetting?” asked aunt ann.

mike thought for a moment. “won’t we need money to make change for our customers? also, i think we need to make a poster, specifying the price for each article.”

“you’re right,” said aunt ann, “i’ve thought of the changes, but i’ve completely forgotten the poster. it would save us a lot of time answering questions. good thinking!”

译文：

“迈克，你能再想想咱们忘了什么吗？” 安姨问。

迈克想了想：“咱们是不是需要准备一些零钱找给顾客呀？另外，我觉得咱们需要制作一张海报，注明每样物品的价格。”

“你说得对。”安姨说：“我倒是想到了零钱，但完全忘了海报的事。这能省去咱们好多回答问题的时间呢。想法不错！”

知识点：1）think of

think，think of，think about，think over的区别和用法

think单独使用时表示“思考”，接that宾语从句时意为“认为、觉得”。如：

he is thinking how to work out the problem.他在思考如何解这道题。

i think i’ll take it.我想我会买。

当think后面的宾语从句含有否定意义时，通常形式上否定 think，但意义上却是否定宾语从句。如：

i don’t think it will rain.我认为不会下雨。

think of意为“考虑到、想到”，后常接代词、名词或动词-ing形式；意为“认为”时，一般用于疑问句中，与what连用。如：

it’s good to think of the future.考虑到未来是对的。

he thought of a good plan.他想到一项好计划。

如果问对方觉得怎样，常用what…think of…? 这一句型

what do you think of the play？（＝how do you find /like /enjoy the play？）你觉得这部戏剧怎么样？

think about，表示“考虑”，特别是考虑某一计划是否可行，后接名词、动名词

或带疑问词的不定式。例如：

what are you thinking about?

i am thinking about how to make the poster.

2) think for a moment

3) save

n. 救球

vt. 解救, 挽救, 储蓄, 保存, 节省, 保留

vi. 挽救, 节省, 救球 例如：

save up for a trip 为准备作一次旅行而把钱储存起来

do not waste , save! 不要浪费，要节约！

children should learn to save. 孩子们应学会储蓄。

need to save your work? 需要把你做的工作保存起来吗？

4. the next morning, they got up early. aunt ann took the green and red sign “garage sale” out of the house. she went inside to cook breakfast while mike waited in the yard. she was right. soon came their first customer of the day, grandpa luis. he was looking for something that his grandson would like. finally he picked up some baseball cards and asked, “ these are 5 cents each, right?”

mike nodded, “ yes, grandpa.”

译文：

第二天早上，他们起得很早。安姨把绿色和红色的“宅前旧货出售”标志拿出院子，然后回来做早饭，而迈克在院子等顾客。安姨说得对，很快就来了当天的第一位顾客—路易斯爷爷。他在找他孙子喜欢的东西，最后，他拿起一些棒球卡片问道：“这些是五美分一张吗？”迈克点点头：“是的，爷爷。”

“could i have this set for 1 dollar?”

why not? anyway, they were useless to mike and aunt ann.

when aunt ann came back to the yard with a plate of pancakes. mike grinned at her. three sales already! a good start for today.

“我能一美金买一套吗？”

为什么不呢？不管怎样，它们对迈克和安姨来说都是没有用的了。

当安姨拿着一盘煎饼回到院子时，迈克朝她微笑着。已经有三笔交易了。这对于今天来说是一个美好的开始。

知识点：

grin at sb. 冲某人咧嘴笑

laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人

smile at sb. 冲某人微笑

why not? 为什么不呢？

2）the boy is happy. he has caught a bird.

ii表示过去开始的动作一直延续到现在或者还将持续下去。

1）i have not seen justin since last friday night.

2) daniel has lived in beijing since he came to china.

iii表示动作的确切时间不明确或不重要。此时下列词汇经常和现在完成时连用：already, ever, never, for, just, lately/ recently, since, yet。

1）the boy has already come home.

2）i haven’t heard anything from him yet.

其中，for + 一段时间，since + 某个时间点。

iv表示到现在为止的一段时间内重复的动作。

1）some villagers say that they have seen ufos many times.

2）i have advised him to give up smoking many times, but he just won’t listen to me.

v 现在完成时还可用于下列句型中：

this/it is the best/ finest/ most interesting … + that- clause,

this/it is the first/ second… time + that- clause, that 从句中的谓语动词一般用现在完成时。

it is/ has been a period of time since + 一般过去时

1）this is the best book that i have read.

2）it is the first time that i have seen the film.

3）it is/ has been a long time since i came to wuxi.

3、注意

1）现在完成时不和明确的表示时间的词连用，如yesterday, last week, in 1976等。

2）表示短暂意义的动词，如begin, leave, arrive, return, stop, open, go, come, die等，不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。

i have read two novels. 我已读过两本小说。（动作已完成）

i have been writing letters. 我一直都在写信。

i have written three letters. 我已经写完三封信了。

The article is a news story about a boy's strange disappearance. Though a lot of efforts have been made to investigate the case, it still remains a mystery. How to read a news article is designed and presented. All the activities are involved with checking and enhancing students' reading abilities. Students are expected to gain an overall understanding of the article and learn to read in different ways according to the type of the article.

Suggested teaching procedures

* Lead-in

Ask students the following questions by having them focus on the title of the article 'Boy missing, police puzzled'.

Does the title arouse your interest when you read it? Can you complete the title?

From the title what information can you get? And what else do you want to know? For example:

'boy missing' ( How / When / Where was the boy missing? )

'police puzzled' ( For what are they puzzled? / What are the police going to do with the boy's disappearance and how?)

Are you curious about why the writer uses a non-complete sentence as a title? Do you know it's a feature of a news title? What are the other features of a news title?

Can you guess what details may be covered in the following news story?

* Reading comprehension

1 Before asking students to skim the passage, let them look at the news photographs first and describe as much as possible what is happening in the photograph. And then let them find answers to the questions in A.

Answers 1 The article is about a missing boy / UFOs and aliens.

2 Justin Foster is missing. 3 No.

2 Ask students to recall the question in Lead-in and ask them if they have got specific answers to "How / When / Where was the boy missing?" The teacher can guide students to pay attention to the first paragraph, as all the relevant information is in the first paragraph. Tell them the first paragraph gives the main topic and most important facts. The followings are all covered.

When and where was the boy missing?

What caused the boy's sudden disappearance?

How old was the boy?

Why do people show interest in his disappearance?

3 Ask students to scan the article again and locate specific information according to C1 and C2. The first three questions in C1 check some background information about Justin while Questions 4 and 5 check students' comprehension about aliens. C2 requires students to identify some details to support the main points of the story. Ask students to complete the exercises individually and check them as a class.

5 Have students pay attention to the different features of each paragraph with the following activities.

a Ask students to conduct a discussion about how they usually choose whether the news article is worth reading or not and what methods they use in their reading. The following question can be used to begin with the activity first.As is known to all, newspapers play an important part in our daily life. Whenever or wherever you are, you can be informed of the latest news by reading a newspaper. From your own experience, how do you usually select the news you'd like to read, by taking a look at its title or by being attracted by its colourful pictures?

Encourage students to express their own opinions and their reasons.

b Ask students to tell the differences between the first paragraph of the article and the following paragraphs. The teacher can begin like this:

Compared with the following paragraphs, does the first paragraph serve as the most important one in the article?

c Ask students to read the Reading strategy of how to read a newspaper article. Tell students both the title and the first paragraph that is called the Lead play a key role in their understanding of a news article .

6 Ask students to complete D and E individually. The meanings of the words in D are not difficult for them to identify after students have read through the passage twice.

* Post-reading activities

1 Ask students to retell the story according to the diagram on Page 8. The teacher can write down some key words or phrases on the blackboard or the overhead projector for students to refer to if they are in trouble.

2 Ask students to give an ending to the story. Though the police have made efforts to investigate the case, how Justin was missing remained a mystery. Was he really seized by aliens or were there any other reasons? If time doesn't permit, the teacher can assign this activity as homework. The teacher can begin like this:

All the people are concerned about Justin's disappearance. What do you think might have happened to him?

Was he in danger? If he were taken away by aliens, how would they treat him?

All the endings are acceptable.

3 Ask students to turn their attention to the questions in F. Let students do some speaking practice according to the sample.

Resources

1 Newspaper articles are often seen as shortened forms of news report that gives full information. The lead----- the first paragraph of a news story plays the most important part in the understanding of the whole story. It is usually a one- or two- sentence summary of the particular event being reported, because so much information are usually put into a small space, and some complex sentences are generally used in the first paragraph. The headline and first paragraph effectively summarize the story's content.

The teacher can encourage students to read English newspapers. There are several advantages of using a newspaper to improve our English. A newspaper is inexpensive, easily obtained and the materials are authentic. Besides, understanding the news stories rely on the students' knowledge of social and cultural experience. Newspapers mirror our national values, habits and preferences. Newspaper reading is more like the overall improvement of students' abilities than being simply informed of new information. Students will find time and efforts devoted to understanding the social and cultural materials rewarding.

2 Following are some newspaper activities the teacher can utilize in their teaching:

a Encourage students to read the newspaper daily. Ask them what articles they find interesting and read and discuss those articles with them.

b Read newspaper coverage of a major news story and watch the same story presented on television. Talk about the differences between reading newspapers and watching television news.

c Read the newspaper for issues that have some direct effect on students' families. Locate news stories and opinions in editorials, letters to the editor and editorial columns. Ask students which facts are most important and which opinions are closest to theirs.

d Review TV and movie schedules, discussing which shows and movies are appealing and why. Compare reviews with those written by media critics.

e Ask students to find persuasive letters to the editor. Identify and discuss the author's style and tone. Encourage students to respond with their own letters to the editor when they encounter ideas with which they disagree.

descriptionin this section, students will be asked to talk about the following phenomena, including traces of ufo, real existences of yeti and the loch ness monster, reasons for building stonehenge and the great pyramid and disappearances of ships and planes in the bermuda. all these have a common characteristic, that is, no evidences or proofs have been provided to explain the mysterious phenomena. students are expected to make full use of resources and share their imaginative ideas with each other by participating in all the activities.suggested teaching proceduresl brainstorming1 ( before taking up the task)the teacher assigns students a task, that is, all of them are required to surf the net or refer to some reference books, in english or in chinese to get some information about ufo, yeti, the loch monster, bermuda, stonehenge and the great pyramid. the activity can be conducted like this:the topics we are going to deal with in our next period are not only very interesting and attractive, but a bit mysterious as well. they are beyond our knowledge. even the advanced science and technology of today cannot offer satisfactory answers, so i recommend if we’d like to discuss these topics, it is best for all of us to make preparations first, either by searching for information on the internet or looking up background information in some books. besides collecting information, you have to note down your answers. it’ll be more convenient for you to report back your answers if you do so.2 ( focusing on the pictures ) a ask students to read the instructions and focus on the six pictures and illustrations individually first. the teacher can arouse their interest by asking them the following questions: do the six pictures have something in common? what is it?(unexplained; no satisfactory answers; mysterious; no evidences…)can scientists explain these phenomena? how do you feel about them? are you a bit curious?b ask students to think of as many expressions as possible to answer the above questions, encourage them to make up sentences and report back their answers. the teacher can share the following sentences with students. they are mysterious because no satisfactory answers have been offered to explain their reasons.though these mysteries have puzzled people for a long time, people show great interest in them.people feel puzzled due to their mysteries.c ask students to report back the information they have collected. as students have been required to prepare for the topics, their answers might be various. the teacher can vary the activities according to students’ responses. if possible, some answers students provide can be used as a prompt for a class discussion. for example:teacher: what information have you got about ufo?student a: ... … …teacher: do you think student a’s introduction interesting? what about the information you’ve got? is there something different?student b: ………this activity can be conducted flexibly.d ask students to have a discussion about the topics by exploring some other activities. in order to conduct them more conveniently, the teacher can arrange numbers from left to right, from top to bottom first. for example:(picture 1) have you ever read some reports about ufo in chinese? are you interested in it? is it really from another planet? what does ufo stand for? for what reasons do you think ufo visits our planet?(picture 2) where is himalayas? what’s the weather like there? why do some people make great efforts to climb it? (hobby; dream; challenge themselves; make discoveries; overcome …) yeti is reported to be half-man and half-beast, have you heard of it? do you think some climbers’ disappearance have some connections with yeti?(pictures3, 4 and 6) stonehenge and the great pyramid of egypt are both cultural relics. where is the great pyramid built, on the east coast of the nile or on the west of it? what are its reasons? do you think the great pyramid a wonder in the human history? how was the great pyramid built? i haven’t heard of stonehenge or the ness monster. they are a bit new to me. what about you? will you be interested in making discoveries about them when you grow up? (picture 5) while talking about picture 4, the teacher can show a map to the students and point to them clearly where florida and the bermuda florida are on the map. are there any monsters in these areas? why do ships or planes disappear in this area? do you think it is too mysterious? suppose there is a ship equipped with the latest scientific equipment and it can make contact with scientists on land at any time, do you think it will be possible to solve the mysteries? l sharing information1 pair students up first. let different pairs focus on different questions. if possible, the first question can be adapted easily like this:do you believe in ufos? what may be the explanations of ufos?—— aliens from space without a doubt

—— military test craft without a doubt

——some ufos are alien, some are test craft

—— ufos are evidence of human space travel

—— ufos are neither alien nor test craft

—— ufos don't existencourage students to express their agreements or disagreements about it.2 ask different pairs to summarize their answers and then report them back.sample answers1 like any other intelligent and rationale person, i have a firm belief in ufos. in fact, i have seen a few myself. ufo stands for unidentified flying object, that is, an object, apparently moving in the sky, that we cannot identify. however, if you ask me whether i believe spacecraft carrying visitors from outer space, i would say ‘no’. i do not believe it.2 the continent of antarctica was discovered in 1818. a map known as the 'piri reis' map, a genuine document made in constantinople in 1513, clearly shows the continent of antarctica. how could this have been possible if antarctica was not discovered until 300 years later? antarctica was supposed to have been covered by ice for the last million or so years, but samples taken from sediment deep beneath antarctica in 1949 revealed that great rivers had once flowed in antarctica until about 6000 years ago.3 i’m always interested in the stories of ufos and aliens. and i hope i will have the chance to meet one some day. if it really happens to me, i will ask questions such as ‘who or what are you?’ ‘where are you from?’ ‘how long does it take to travel from your place to our planet?’ i will try my best to communicate with them, discovering what their life is like and why they come to the earth. resources (picture 1) the following is a description from a witness: the light was travelling west to northeast. they were saying it then changed direction from west to southeast. there was no colour, just bright light like a large spotlight. at first my husband thought it was a helicopter with a spotlight, but there was no noise. it seemed to move in a slow, steady speed. from my perspective it changed direction at the last moment.’ for more information, you can surf the following web-site: ~geibdan/framemst.html (picture 2) the yeti has lived in the himalayas as a mystery for many years. known as "the rock living animal" in sherpa, and as "the abominable snowman" in the west, the sightings of yeti have been reported since the late 1800s. the following website gives you more information ; (picture 3) loch ness is a vast and beautiful body of water. although nessie was sighted as far back as the 6th century ad, it is the modern day sightings that have attracted the public imagination. for more information you can surf the following website : (picture 4) the huge three-sided section of the atlantic ocean, surrounded by bermuda, puerto rico and florida, did not receive its famous nickname until 1964, but reports of strange happenings there, or nearby, have been recorded for centuries. the following website tells you more: (picture 5) stonehenge is surely britain's greatest national icon, standing for mystery, power and endurance. its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have guessed that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth god or goddess. for more information, you can surf the following website: (picture 6) the great pyramid of khufu is a typical example of the knowledge and experience of all previous pyramids, and it is the only surviving member of the ancient seven wonders of the world. the following website tells you more:
