Sixth ImaginationT: Now let’s imagine.What would you like to visit if you were Li Qiang?(One minute later.)S: If I were Li Qiang, I would visit some schools in the future in AD 3005.S: If I were Li Qiang, I would visit some other planets.S: If I were Li Qiang, I would go on visits to some labs to find out what the people in the future are studying.S: If I were Li Qiang, I would pay a visit to the History Museum to find whether what we own today could be found there.Ss: ...Step 4 ConsolidationT: In this period, we have visit ed the future in AD 3005 with Li Qiang.What have you learned from the first impressions?Can you sum up it in several sentences?I will give you two minutes to prepare for it.(After two minutes.)S: At the beginning of the travel to the future, Li Qiang felt very nervous.With his friend, Wan g Ping, helped, they arrived safely on the earth but one thousand years in the future by time capsule.On arriving, he was confused by the new surroundings.When he was hit by the lack of fresh air, his friend advised him to wear a mask, which made him feel much better ter, they visited some places by hovering carriages driven by computer, which float above the ground.In the end, they arrived at his friend’s home, where almost everything was controlled by computer, so the life there seemed very conveniently.T: Excellent.Please write a passage about the first impressions of the future if you were Li Qiang, who were to visit the future.This is your homework.The Design of the Writing on the BlackboardUnit 3Life in the futureStructure Difficult sentencesPara.1 He was worried about the journey.

Video from the landing site showed the craft’s single occupant—Lt.Colonel Yang Liwei—waving to a crowd assembled around the capsule as it lay on its side minutes after landing.Chinese media also reported the landing point was just 4.8 kilometers from the targeted touchdown site in Inner Mongolia.Yang was carried away from the spacecraft in a seat and looked a bit wobbly and dazed on state television coverage of the event.Official reports from Xinhua say Yang“was confirmed to remain in good health”af ter his 21-hour stint in orbit.After its launch early Wednesday from the Jiuquan space center aboard a Long March 2F rocket, the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft entered orbit with passenger Yang Liwei, a 38-year old Chinese fighter pilot that found himself thrust into the international spotlight with his selection for the inaugural manned flight.Throughout his historic 21-hour journey, the 5-foot, 6-inch taikonaut—or yuhangyuan—reported no ill effects and no technical problems with the spacecraft were reported.Conversations with the ground control center in Beijing reportedly went as expected as communications was relayed through tracking stations and sea vessels scattered around the world.As expected, Shenzhou 5’s entry and service modules were jettisoned from th e orbital module as the time neared for the pivotal de-orbit burn to bring the taikonaut back to Earth. Thrusters were then fired to nudge the craft out of orbit and to put it on a trajectory to land in the steppes of Inner Mongolia, about 1000 kilometers from the launch site at Jiuquan.The orbital module remained behind in space to complete its own mission over the next several months In all, t he mission lasted approximately 21 hours, 23 minutes from liftoff to touchdown.The historic flight completed 14 orbits of Earth and traveled about 600 000 kilometers.“Yang’s return to land from outer space signifies completion of the first step taken by China to implement its plans for space exploration.More steps are to follow—attempts for space walk, rendezvous a nd docking of spaceships and setting up of a space lab, ”Xinhua reported Wednesday night.“Sometime from now, up in the space, high up over the Earth, there will be a space station which, like Shenzhou 5 that has just made history, will be designed, built and manned by the Chinese, ”the agency said.Wearable HalfkeyboardIt’s quite interesting to use a pocketable keyboard with a Palm or PPC to write something.I borrowed a Palmone Tungsten T and a Logitech TypeAway Keyboard from a boy yesterday.The Keyboard uses the universal port to connect the palm.It is a Palm Vx on the keyboard:The wearable Halfkeyboard was designed to let you turn your PDA into a wearable computer.Drugs delivered by robots in the bloodA 3 millimetre-long swimming robot constructed by Chinese scientists could eventually be used for drug delivery or to clear arteries in humans.The craft is propelled by an external magnetic field which controls its fins.The fins are made from an alloy that contracts in response to application of the field.The next stage is to build a robot with fins that respond to different magnetic field resonance.This would enable an operator to control the fin separately and steer the robot around.The project is at an early stage but in the future remote controlled machines could be used to deliver drugs to a particular part of the body.The watch reminds you’ve forgotten the keysGaetano Borriello, a University of Washington computer scientist has developed a working prototype of a smart swatch system.Like pretty anything called“smart”these days, i t works wit h RFID tags.The wristwatch acts as an interface, driven by a personal server the wearer can carry in a pocket, but which will eventually be a part of the wristwatch itself.Important items are labeled with RFID tags and RFID readers are installed at various locations to read the tags.The UW smart watch system works as follows: an RFID reader senses the tags on, say, your books, relays the data to the personal server in your pocket.The server checks if anything has been forgotten, and if so, it sends a prompt to the wristwatch to alert you.The server also takes into account the last known location of items, your calendar and where you may be going.“This is really part of a larger effort to create an RFID-enabled building, a sort of microcosm of what society would be like if these things take off, ”said Borriello who hopes to have a building-wide system up and running within a year.。

Unit 3 The story of successSection OneStep 1. Words to the teacher1. Talk about the idea of success. Tell the students that everyone has a different idea of what it means to be successful. Do not give the students a definition of success or they will model your definition instead of coming y with their own.2. Ask the students to think about their own definition of success. Give them a few minutes to write their own personal definitions.3. Divide the students into small groups and ask them to discuss their definitions. If the students have been encouraged to think for themselves, their definitions will vary widely and this will result in a good conversation.4. Ask the class for the different definitions that they have uncovered. Write these on the board.Step 2. Pre-readingThe article on Stephen Hawking includes a lot of description. It describes him in different ways:Physically and mentally.1. With students, brainstorm a list of word used to describe people.2. Write the words on the blackboard.3. Divide the words into words that describe mental characteristics. Ask the students whether they think there should be another category4. Point out that these words can also be divided according to whether they are considered to be positive characteristics or negative characteristics.5. Create a chart such as the following. Ask the students to give the opposite (negative) of the characteristics give. Note that many answers are possible.Step 3. Reading1. Give the students time to read the text in class.2. While they are reading ask them to find the words that describe Stephan Hawking. They can underline these words in their textbooks or write them on a separate sheetf paper.3. When the students have finished reading they should have a list of words and phrases of various kinds: adjectives, nouns and phrases.Step 4. After Reading1. Divide the class into groups of four to six students.2. Ask the students to look at their lists of words and compile a master list for their group.3. Now have the students identify the words they do not understand. Ask them to finda definition and discuss the meanings of these words.4. Then get the students to determine the part of speech of each word or phrase.5. Ask the groups to sort the words according to whether they are positive characteristics or negative characteristics.6. After the lists have been compiled ask the Ss to read the article again and answer the following questions:For which of his characteristics do you most admire Stephen Hawking? Why did you choose that characteristic rather than another?7. In groups Ss can discuss the characteristics they have chosen.Section TwoStep 1. Build your skills1.Build your Comprehension: This section can be assigned for homework or am in–class group activity.2.Build Your Vocabulary:(1) Before assigning this segment of Section 2 for homework, write the 4 words on the board: fellow, honors, mobility, PhD.(2) Divide the class into groups and ask each group to locate the words in the story.(3) Once all the words have been identified, discuss with the class the meaning ofthe words, ask the class what strategies they used to determine the meaning. (4) Assign the matching activity for homework.Step 2. Build your listening skillsPlay the audiotape. The written transcript for the audiotape is shown below. (The listening text is in the teaching book.)Step 3. Build your speaking skills1. Talk: Making and Accepting ApologiesTeaching TipWhen teaching new concepts or vocabulary, help the Ss identity with the new information. Ss need to connect the new information with their background experience.(1) Before opening the book, introduce the topic.(2) Ask the Ss for examples of different ways to apologize in Chinese.(3) Discuss the purpose of apologizing –to make amends for having said or done something wrong. Discuss the following vocabulary: sorry, excuse, forgive, apology, pardon.(4) Open the text and read with the class some examples of English apologies and their responses.(5) Divide the class into pairs to practice giving and receiving apologies.Step 4. Build your writing skills1. Assign the writing for homework.2. In pairs, ask the students to read each other’s description in class.3. Ss can then tell each other what they thought create a picture in the reader’s mind? Was the writer able to express his or her feelings about the item described? What was the most effective part of the description? What could the writer do to make the description better?Teaching TipsPeer editing of written assignments is a good way to help students see what works in a piece of writing and what doesn’t work. By looking at other Ss’ writing , they will be better equipped to edit their own.Step 5. Project TimeThis project requires work to be done over a period of time. The time required can be broken down as follows:1. Introduction:Pairs of Ss are required to interview a local hero. They must, therefore, be well-prepared by doing research on the person they have chosen. This will take the first day of work on the project.2. Questions and InterviewingThe Ss need to create questions that they can use to interview the person they have chosen. Also have a discussion about the verb tense when asking questions.3. Collecting the Information:Once interviews have been completed, Ss will need to write a report or presentation.4. PresentationSs will present their story or show to their group or t the entire class.
