Preview Questions

A. it was not safe

B. it was too far away

C. he liked England

D. he wanted the writer to go to England

2. The writer's sister suggested the writer go to England instead in order to ________.

B. They are different and can never understand each other.

C. They are different and do not care for each other.

D. They are different, but they finally understand each other.

四、 Emphasized Points

(1)The Edge

There is a common expression in English used to describe the lifestyle of someone who enjoys risk: "living on the edge". So, in this case, the text is describing how the woman is off to a dangerous land (at least in her family's mind), and the use of "the edge" could be referring to her lifestyle and her love of risks and challenges. As well, "the edge" could be referring to the risk her sister took in telling her how proud of her she is, as this is something not normally done in their family. While there are perhaps a few interpretations that could be made, the basic one is that the title refers to the writer's desire to take risks, especially in the eyes of her rather reserved family.

(2). My sister and I are three and a half years apart in age, but a world apart in the way we live our lives.

(3). My family is not big on emotional goodbyes...

(4). It seemed there was a small part of her that was jealous of what I was doing.

(5). The card was blank except for what my sister had written.

2. Although "gas investigations" rarely turn out to be anything, we're in the business of safety.

Step Two: (5 mins)

Ask Ss to look at the pictures on page 56, and describe them.

Possible answers: the man is doing some work on computer, but suddenly the computer breaks down. He could not do anything and he is very angry.

This is a space shuttle of America which has just returned from the outer space. May be it has finished its job on probing the space or exploring new frontier for human being.

Step Three: (2nd class)

Pair work: (10 mins)

1) have Ss work with their partner and ask each other questions:

Have you ever met such problem of a computer’s breakdown when you are using it?

Actually nowadays, people depend on computer a lot, can you imagine days without computer? What can people do without computer?

2) ask Ss to present their ideas to the whole class.

Step Four: explanation (15 mins)

Go through section A and then ask Ss if they have any questions.

1.One day, I was at the airport trying to buy a ticket to Washington…

The gerund here is used to describe the subject of this sentence what “I” was doing when I was at the airport.

e.g. I was in the classroom doing my exercises.

My mother was lying in bed, reading a book.

2.The computer is the only one allowed to issue tickets for the plane.

This sentence equals “the computer is the only one that is allowed to issue tickets for the plane.” Since here the verb in the attributive clause forms a passive relation with the subject “the computer”, or “the only one”. So here the passive form of the verb serves as an attribute.

e.g. The parents were so amazed by the homework done by their son.

3.We wouldn’t know what to charge you.

charge: to charge somebody money for something

The shop owner charged me 30 yuan for this small chair.

Step Five: (5 mins)

Ask Ss to read the passage the computer is down. And then tell your Ss the ways to describe a computer which is down.

eg. the computer is down. It works well.

It does not work well. My computer has broken down.

And when it goes down, you go down with it.

Something has gone wrong with my computer.

Step Six: (10 mins)

To make a summary to this text, you can ask your Ss in which fields are computers used. And what do they think of computer? Ask Ss to communicate with their partner, and then give their opinions about it.

Hint: computer can be used in many fields, and it does make people’ lives more convenient. But its use depends on how people utilize it.

Topic Two: about science (3rd class)

Lead-in: (10 mins)

Introducing the following phonetic symbols to the students/k/ /g/

Warm-up: (3 mins)

In the past one hundred years, human being has made a lot of scientific achievements and they really bring benefits to us and change our lives, for example, human has managed the technology of cloning, and he can fly to the outer space to probe other planets. Let me give you one more example, the development of communication. We used to use telephone to contact others, and now we have many ways to do so. We can send a e-mail to our friends which is fast and cheap. Then the telephone of seeing each other is ushered in. What will it be in the future?

Step One: presentation (15 mins)

Why not learn some words about science first?

ignore –v. to neglect,

e.g. we can not ignore the harm of this deed to children.

n. ignorance 无知

e.g. we are in complete ignorance of your plans.

adj. ignorant 无知的，愚昧的，没学问的

e.g. he is not stupid, just ignorant.

contact –n. communication

e.g. let’s keep in contact.

v. call sb,

e.g. I will contact that company and make a schedule with them.

He took the trouble of taking care of disabled people for these years.

get …wrong

Do not get my idea wrong. I don’t mean that.

make eye contact

when giving a speech, you need to make eye contact with the audience.

check out

We do not have enough cash, so we have to check out.

Step Two: (15 mins)

Ask students to read through the Text B and finish the exercises that follow.

Topic three: (4th class)

Looking back: (10 mins)

After explaining the expressions, raise the question: in the past two hundred years, how many inventions have already been made? And what are they? Could you list some of them? Then give one answer as an example: telephone was invented in the last decade of the 19th century, and it brought convenience to people. After so many years’ development, it has gone through several phases from winding telephone, to wireless telephone, answering machine, cell phone. It connects people from afar and save time and money. But this invention also harms personal relations in modern times, for people spend less time seeing each other. Give Ss some more alternatives for them to discuss with their partner, such as cloning, computer, etc. and then ask some of them to give a presentation.

words that could be used: ethical, double-edged sword.
