Monthly amount of money members willing to spend on mystery books:Below￥10 23% ￥10--19 42% ￥20—29 30% no less than ￥30 5% Conclusions: Many people are interested in a mystery club and about 77% of them would like to spend more than 10 yuan on mystery books per month.Recommendations: A mystery book club can be started.2. Write a report according to what you’ve discussed.Possible exampleThe Possibility of Starting a Mystery Book ClubConclusions drawn from the statistics:From the statistics, we can determine that about 39% of the members in our book club are interested in mysteries. About 81% of the people who answered the questions are interested in a mystery book club. About 77% of them are willing to spend more than 10 yuan on mystery books every month. Of these people 5% would spend no less than 30 yuan and 30% would like to spend 20-29 yuan. So I think more people than we expected are interested in mysteries.

From your experience, how do you usually select the news you'd like to read, by taking a look at its title or being attracted by its colorful pictures?Every one of you can express your own opinions and give the reasons.2) Compared with the other paragraphs, is the first paragraph the most important one in the article? Please describe the differences between the first paragraph of the article and the paragraphs that follow.3) Ask Ss to read the Reading strategy 'reading a newspaper article'. Pay attention that both the title and the first paragraph, which is called the lead paragraph, play a key role in understanding of news articles.Step 4 InterviewingSuppose you are a reporter from China Daily.

Step2 Reading strategy(4minutes)I’m sure you want to know what really happened in the news story to check yourimagination, but before reading the story, I should tell you how a news story is organized so that you may catch the important information in it more easily.1. What are the features of a news story?● It is usually written in an inverted pyramid format.●The broadest (最广泛的), most general information is given first, and then the supporting details (论证性细节).2. The structure of a news story● the title: to give a general idea of the news●the first paragraph: to give the main topic and the most important facts like when,where, who, what, why and how about the event;●the second paragraph: to give more important facts●the following paragraphs:to give detailed but less important background information3. Application of reading strategyAsk the students the following questions1.)Can you tell me the feature of this news title? (The title of a news story is usually incomplete, attractive, exact and direct … )2.) Can you complete the title? (“A boy is missing, and the police are puzzled”)3.) What information can you get from the title? (how/when/where was the boy missing?; why are the police puzzled?)So use your imagination and guess what happened in the story. Where or how was the missing boy? (leaving home / kidnapping(绑架) / murder / drowning (溺水) / being taken away by aliens)Work with your partner and then share your story with the rest of the class.【设计意图】引入阅读策略——倒金字塔式，为学生搭建支架；引导学生从阅读新闻的标题开始运用策略，根据残缺的标题对文章内容做出预测。
