Skills of completing a quiz2. Skills of listening for emphasisTeaching methodsListening, individual work and group workTeaching aidsA computer and a projectorTeaching procedures and waysGeneral introductionThis section consists of a series of activities which provide you with an opportunity to practice your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. The Task is divided into three steps and each step is preceded with a skills building activity. Through the three steps, you will learn how to complete a quiz, how to listen for emphasis and how to use information from more than one source. You are expected to apply what you have learnt in the skills building parts to write a speech about the film industry.Skills building 1: completing a quizIn a quiz, we are usually asked to answer some questions. What should we do when we take a quiz and wha t steps we should take to make sure that we answer the questions correctly? Let’s read the guidelines and the three steps on our books. After that you will have a chance to complete a quiz about the film industry.Step 1: completing a quiz about the film industryThis part is designed to help you develop your listening skills. You will listen to two radio programmes discussing the early days of film, and then read a web page about film facts. You are expected to use all of the information to complete a film quiz. Before listening, you can look through the questions first.1. Listen to the tape.2. I’ll play the recording again. Let’s check the answers.3. Listen to another radio programme in Part B. This time you will listen to some information about Hollywood, and you can use the information to answer some of the remaining questions on the quiz. I’ll play the recording twice if it is necessary for you.4. I’ll check the answers as a class to see which questions you have already found the answers to after listening to the recording in this part.5. Read the web page in Part C to find the remaining information and finish the quiz. Make sure that you have no difficulty in understanding the passage.Skills building 2: listening for emphasisThis part is designed to help you pay attention to the words or information emphasized in a question to answer it exactly. In the Grammar and usage section of this unit, we learnt how to emphasize some parts of sentences by adding some words or using certain sentence structures. Are there any other ways that we can emphasize some words or information, especially when we are speaking? Sometimes we stress the words we want to emphasize. Now let’s go over Skills building 2.Step 2: asking and answering questions about Chinese filmsIn this part, you should work in pairs to conduct an interview about Chinese films. You are expected to practice the speaking skills you have learnt in Skills building 2.1. Go over the instructions so that you know what to do in Step2. Then read all the questions and answers and make sure that you know what you are going to do.2. Work in pairs to do this role-play activity, asking and answering questions about Chinese films. When asking questions, you should emphasize the words in bold. The student who is answering questions should repeat the emphasized words. After you finish asking and answering these questions, you should switch roles. In this way, every one of you will have a chance to practice emphasizing.Skills building 3: using information from more than one sourceIn this part, you will learn what you need to do to prepare the information for a speech or an essay competition.T: What will you do before you attend a speech or an essay competition? Give as many answers as you can.S1: know what the subject of the competition isS2: find out different aspects of the subject and write the draftS3: do research on the aspects that you do not knowT: Review what you have learnt about the film industry in Steps 1 and 2.

Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit〞,are awards given to people who work in specific areas of the film industry.Actors and directors,costume designers and songwriters,make-up artists and sound engineers,among others,all have the chance to win an Oscar.The awards themselves are small statuettes(小雕像),around 34cm tall and weighing just over .The golden statuettes are all the same—they show a man (with no clothes on!) holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.Sadly for the winner,the statue is not solid gold,but just gold plated.In actual value it is only worth around $250.However,although the statuette itself is not worth very much,winning one can be worth millions of dollars to the film studios.Winning an Oscar means that the world top film-makers like your work.It is the best publicity any film can get.If a film can have Academy Award Winner under its title,many more people will go to see it.The Academy was first formed in May 1927,and the awards have been given every year since then.This ceremony,when the awards are presented to the winners,is the highlight of the Hollywood calendar.It is the most glamorous(富有魅力的) and star-studded(星光灿烂的) evening of the whole year,and is shown on television in 90 countries around the world andwatched by over 500 million people.Everyone who is famous in the film world attends the awards ceremony.Most arrive in huge limousines (豪华轿车),wearing wonderful clothes.The Oscar ceremony is the one night when Hollywood really is as glamorous as it appears.For the first few years of the Academy,the Academy Awards themselves were simply called “The Statuettes〞.There are various stories which explain why they were at last given the nickname Oscars.The most popular is that the Academy librarian,Margaret Herrick,exclaimed when she saw the golden statuette,“He looks just like my Uncle Oscar!〞and the name stuck.Whatever the reason,it is certainly easier to say Oscar,than to say “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit〞,so the little golden man is now on a first name basis with everyone.1.The passage is really about ________.B.an award in the film industryC.an award ceremonyD.a famous film star,Oscar2.One story says that the Oscars are named after ________.A.Oscar HammersteinB.the man who invented themC.the Academy librarian’s uncleD.one of the Oscar winners3.The awards were first simply called ________.[B.Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of MeritC.Uncle OscarsD.The Statuettes4.A reader can learn from the text that ________.A.only actors can have the chance to win OscarsB.an Oscar is made completely of goldC.winning an Oscar is worth millions of dollars to film studiosD.the Academy Awards are given every four years答案根底落实ⅠⅡⅢⅣ.1.it is

人们通常以为演员代表的是光鲜、美丽与富有,但真的是那样吗?【节选】PicturesEight o'clock in the morning.Miss Ada Moss lay in her narrow bed,staring up at the ceiling.Her room,which was right at the top of a tall house in Bloomsbury,smelled of wet clothes and face powder and the bag of fried potatoes she had brought in for supper the night before.‘Oh dear,’thought Miss Moss.‘I am cold.I wonder why I always wake up so cold in the mornings now.My knees and feet and my back—especially my back—are like ice.And I was always so warm in the old days.It isn't because I'm thin.I'm just as wellcovered as I always was.No,it's because I don't have a good hot dinner in the evenings.’She imagined a row of good hot dinners passing across the ceiling,each with a bottle of good strong beer.‘I'd like to get up now,’she thought,‘and have a big sensible breakfast.’Pictures of big sensible breakfasts followed the good hot dinners across the ceiling.Miss Moss pulled the blanket up over her head and closed her eyes.Suddenly,her landlady burst into the room.‘There's a letter for you,Miss Moss.’‘Oh,’said Miss Moss,in a voice which was much too friendly,‘thank you very much,Mrs Pine.I t's very good of you to bring me my letters.’‘Oh,it's nothing,’said the landlady.‘I hope it's the letter that you've been waiting for.’‘Yes,’said Miss Moss brightly,‘yes,perhaps it is.I wouldn't be surprised.’‘Well,I'd be very surprised,’said the landlady.‘That's the truth.And can you open it right now,please?A lot of landladies wouldn't even ask—they'd just open it themselves.Things can't go on like this,Miss Moss,indeed they can't.First you tell me you've got the money to pay your rent,then you say you haven't,then there's a letter lost in the post or a theatre manager who's gone to Brighton but will be coming back soon—I'm sick and tired of it all,and I've had enough.At a time like this,too,with the price of everything skyhigh and my poor boy away at thewar in France!If you can't pay your rent,there's plenty of other people who would give me good money for a room like this.As my sister Eliza was saying to me only yesterday,Miss Moss,I've been much too softhearted with you!’Miss Moss did not seem to be listening to this.She tore open the letter.It was from a film company.‘No suitable parts for a lady of your experience at present,’she read.She stared at it for a long time before she spoke to her landlady.‘Well,Mrs Pine,’she said.‘I think you'll be sorry for what you've just said.This is from a theatre manager who wants to see me immediately about a part in a new musical show.’But the landlady was too quick for her.She tore the letter out of Miss Moss's hand.‘Oh is it,is it indeed!’she cried.‘Give me back that letter.Give it back to me at once,you bad,wicked woman,’cried Miss Moss.She could not get out of bed because she had a hole in her nightdress.‘Well,Miss Moss,’said the landlady,‘if I don't get my money by eight o'clock tonight,you can get out of my house,my Lady.’The door banged and Miss Moss was alone.She threw back the bedclothes,and sat on the side of the bed,shaking with anger and staring at her fat white legs.‘The old cat,’she said,‘the rotten old cat!’Then she began to pull on her clot hes.‘Oh,I wish I could pay that woman!Then I'd tell her what I think of her!’She suddenly saw her face in the mirror,and gave herself a little smile.‘Well,old girl,’she said,‘you're in trouble this time,and no mistake.’But the person in the mirror stopped smiling.‘You silly thing,’said Miss Moss.‘It's no good crying.You'll make your nose all e on!Get dressed,and go out and find a job.That's what you've got to do.’She picked up her bag and shook it.A few small coins fell out.‘I'll have a nice cup of tea at an ABC café before I go anywhere,’she decided.‘I've got enough money for that.’Ten minutes later,a large lady in a blue dress and a black hat covered in purple flowers looked at herself in the mirror,and sang:‘Sweetheart,remember that hope never diesAnd it al—ways is dark—est before sunrise.’But the person in the mirror wouldn't smile at her,and Miss Moss went out.When she came to the ABC café,the door was open. A man was carrying boxes of bread in,and two waitresses were combing their hair and talking.‘My young man came home from France last night,’one of the girls sang happily.‘Oh,I say!How topping for you!’cried the other.‘Yes,wasn't it!He brought me a sweet little brooch.Look,it's got“Dieppe”written on it.’‘Oh,I say!How topping for you!’The man with the boxes of bread came in again,almost knocking Miss Moss over.‘Can I have a cup of tea,please?’she asked.But the waitress went on combing her hair.‘Oh,’she sang,‘we're not open yet.’She turned to the other girl.‘Are we,dear?’‘Oh,no,’s aid the other waitress.Miss Moss went out.‘I'll go to Charing Cross,’she decided.‘That's what I'll do.And I'll have coffee,not tea.Coffee's more filling.Those girls!Her young man came home;he brought her a brooch...’She began to cross the road.‘Look out,Fatty!’shouted a taxidriver.Miss Moss pretended not to hear.‘No,I won't go to Charing Cross,’she decided.‘I'll go straight to Kig and Kadgit.They open at nine.If I get there early,Mr.Kadgit may have something for me...“I'm so glad to see you,Miss Moss.I've just heard from a manager who wants a lady...exactly the right part for you...three pounds a week...go and see him immediately.It's lucky you came so early.”’But there was nobody at Kig and Kadgit except an old woman washing the floor in the passage.‘Nobody here yet,Miss,’the old woman said.‘Oh,isn't Mr.Kadgit here?’said Miss Moss.‘I'll sit down and wait for him,if I may.’‘You can't wait in the waitingroom,Miss.I haven't cleaned it yet.Mr.Kadgit never comes in before eleven thirty on a Saturday.Sometimes he doesn't come in at all.’‘How silly of me,’said Miss Moss.‘I forgot it was Saturday.’‘Mind your feet,please,Miss,’said the old woman.And Miss Moss was out in the street again.The nice thing about Beit and Bithem was—it was always crowded.You walked intothe waitingroom and you met everybody you knew.The early ones sat on chairs,and the later ones sat on the early ones' knees,while the men stood around the walls,talking and joking with the ladies.‘Hello,’said Miss Moss,in her friendly way.‘Here we are again!’And young Mr.Clayton did a couple of dancesteps and sang:‘Waiting for the Robert E.Lee!’‘Mr.Bithem here yet?’asked Miss Moss,powdering her nose.‘Oh,yes,dear!’cried all the girls together.‘He's been here for ages.We've been waiting for more than an hour!’‘Oh dear,’said Miss Moss.‘Any work for us,do you think?’‘Oh,a few jobs in Africa,’said young Mr.Clayton.‘A hundred and fifty a week for two years,you know.’‘Oh!’cried the girls.‘Isn't he a scream?Isn't he too funny?’A dark girl with a s ad face touched Miss Moss on the arm.‘I just missed a lovely job yesterday,’she said.‘Six weeks on tour,and then the West End. The manager said I would have got it if I'd been a bit strongerlooking.He said the part was made for me—only I'm too thin.’She s tared at Miss Moss,and the dirty,dark red rose on her hat looked as sad and disappointed as she was.‘Oh,dear,that was awfully bad luck,’Miss Moss said,trying hard not to sound too interested.‘What was the show called,may I ask?’But the sad,dark girl understood what Miss Moss wanted,and a mean look came into her heavy eyes.‘Oh,it wasn't a part for you,my dear,’she said.‘He wanted someone young,you know,a dark Spanish type like me.I was too thin,that was the only problem.The door opened and Mr.Bithem appeared.He kept one hand on the door,and held up the other for silence.‘Look here,ladies’—and here he paused and gave them his famous smile—‘and all you boys,’They all laughed loudly at that.‘I've got nothing for you this e back on Monday.I'm expe cting several phone calls on Monday.’Miss Moss pushed desperately through the crowd.‘Mr.Bithem,I wonder if you've had any news from...’‘Now,let me see,’said Mr.Bithem slowly,staring at her.He had seen Miss Moss four times a week for—how many weeks was it?‘Now,who are you?’‘Miss Ada Moss.’‘Oh yes,yes;of course,my dear.Not yet,my dear.Now I had a call for twentyeight ladies today,but they had to be young and able to kick their legs up a e back the week after next—there'll be nothing before that.’电影早上8点钟。

Wages cheated by the contractor,he has to collect rubbish with his son.But luckily one day in the rubbish dump,a strange object they found there brought them to an all new world.Their life has been changed since then.Stephen has brought about lots of elements into this film.We know since the Shaolin Soccer in 2001,Stephen has got indulged in special technique and trick photography.It is what we can see from the Kongfu in 2004.And in CJ 7,we’ll see more of those.Because a great point of the film is that it is a science fiction in some way.It has aliens,UFOs,and other amazing objects in it which add mysteries and miracles to it.
