I have many hobbies, such as reading, skating, and watching TV. But reading is my favorite hobby.
பைடு நூலகம்
I like reading for three reasons. First of all, books introduce me to a new world, which is colourful and without time and space limit. Through reading, I can trace back to ancient Egypt, the cradle of human civilization. It can bring myself to the United States, a glamorous land I have been longing to visit. Secondly, reading can better myself by showing me a new horizon. In the past years, most of my knowledge has been obtained from books.

高中英语 Unit 3 Inventors and inventions 电话的发明素材 新人教版选修8
电话的发明电话的发明并不是哪一个人的功劳，而是大批学者共同努力的结果。
早在1876年以前，已有不少科学家从理论上对这种通信方式作了说明。
但是，历史上通常认为，第一部电话机于1876年在美国投入使用，电话机的发明权应属于美国的亚历山大·贝尔。
然而，这项伟大的发明却是在一次偶然“事故”的启发下诞生的。
1871年，贝尔从苏格兰回到美国，任波士顿大学音响生理学教授。
贝尔的父亲是著名的语言学家，是聋哑人手语的发明者。
贝尔的妻子就曾是他的学生，一位耳聋的姑娘。
贝尔在致力于研究声学和教授哑语之余，还潜心研制一种多路传输的电报系统。
1875年的一天，贝尔和他的助手沃森分别在两个房间配合做一项试验，由于机件发生故障，沃森看管的发报机上的一块铁片在电磁铁前不停地振动。
这一振动产生了波动的电流沿着导线传播，使邻室的一块铁片产生了同样的振动，振动发出的微弱声音被贝尔听到了，引起这位善于发现与思考的年轻人的极大注意，由此启发他产生了新奇的联想和构思。
1875年6月贝尔和沃森利用电磁感应原理，试制出世界上第一部传递声音的机器──磁电电话机，并于1876年2月14日向美国专利局递交了专利申请书。
这种电话机的原理是：对着话筒说话，使话筒底部的金属膜片随声音而振动，膜片的振动带动一根磁性簧片随之振动，在电磁线圈中便产生了感应电流，电流经导线传至受话一方，使受话器上的膜片相应的振动，将话音还原出来。
然而，这台机器真正开始工作是在1876年3月10日这一天。
当时，贝尔正在做实验，不小心把硫酸溅到脚上，他痛得不禁对着话筒向正在另一房间里的沃森大叫：“沃森，快来帮帮我！”不料，这一求助声竟成为世界上第一句由电话机传送的话音，沃森从听筒里清晰地听到了贝尔的声音。
在贝尔研制电话机的同时，格雷发明了相同原理的液体电话机。
而且十分巧合，在贝尔提出专利申请的同一天，格雷也向纽约专利局提出专利申请，并将专利发明权转卖给美国最大的威斯汀电信公司。

I am honored to be with you today from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation. I dropped out of College after the first 6 months. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born . My biological mother was a young, college graduate student, so she felt very embarassed ( embarass) at my birth. And she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very pleased (please)when she heard that I would be adopted by a lawyer and his wife, but they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call asking: “We have an unexpected baby boy,do you want him?” They said:“Of course.” So this was the start in my life.

Ability goals能力目标Enable the students to talk about information and different.3. Learning ability goals 学能目标Help the students learn .Teaching aids教具准备A computer and a projector.Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方法Step I Warming upTalk about inventions and discoveries.T: The importance of inventions to social progress can never be changed. Ench invention carries the world a step forward and provides stimulation for later ones. Whit inventions turning up all the time, our world is always taking ona new look. But do you know what an invention is?S1: The creation of something newS2: A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation.S3: The creation of new things.…Ask the students to talk about the pictures with the teacher’s discuss the first two questions.T: And what is a discovery? What’s the difference between a discovery and an invention? Now look at the pictures on page 1. Work in pairs and talk about the three different things, telling them apart and giving reasons.Show the following.1. Which o these pictures show inventions? Does any of them show discoveries?2. Work out two rules that will invention?S1: I think the first two are inventions, i. e. the amphibious car and Stevenson’s “Rocket” while the last picture about the DNA is a kind of discovery. Because the first two products were quite new to people at that time and no one or designed such kind of vehicles before though some others biology because such cells and their structure do exist in living creatures and they found out bya certain scientist and are made known to the public nowadays. So I think adiscovery is something existing before but unknown while an invention is something unknown and not existing before.S2: I think the first two pictures show us great inventions about the transportation because they were invented by people for certain purposes and they some ways. On the other of DNA is a kind of discovery because these special cells exist and function in the body of life all the time no matter who discovers it or when and where it is discovered. In my opinion a discovery is something found out or brought to view now but it was unknown before while an invention is something created or designed by people, which is completely new not only now but in the past.T: Well, from these pictures we can see that there lies differences between a discovery and an invention. There are certain rules or questions you should pay attention to while distinguishing them. Did it exist in the past? Is it created or developed by people? An invention is something that is created by a being, suchas the lightning rod. To the contrary, a discovery merely makes known something that already existed in nature, such as the discovery on the New Continent by Columbia. OK. Let’s go on with some other questions of this part. You may talk with your partner first before we inventions do you know? Describe them to your partner and life today.S1: Adidas 1 is the thinking shoes with a built-in microprocessor that decides chosen by Popular Science magazine as the best recreation invention of 2004.It is very comfortable to wear it all day without worrying about your toes being adjust the snap pictures as discreetly as any spy and, with the push of a few buttons, pop them into an e-mail or upload them to the Web in less thana minute. No wires or to the Web in less than a minute. No wires or computerused to snap pictures of VIPs at private parties, copy recipes from cookbooks at bookstores and even document crimes in progress. But with an estimated 80 million camera phones sold in 2003, 6 million in the U. S. alone− the cat may already be out of the camera bag. Like it or not, these camera phones very popular and widely used by people even today.S3: A kind of robot 2001. On July 2, 2001, the 59-year-old grandfather and retired librarian Robert Tools became the first to get one. It’s be en long since the operation, and Tools’ new walk a city block without stopping and making plans for the future. Though not everybody needs a new artificial so many modern inventions both at that modern discoveries and inventions do people’s life and can always represent the advanced science and technology, so you should to distinguish them and make good use of them.Step II TalkingT: Suppose you are working for a mobile company. It is your job to suggest new ways of developing a mobile. In pairs discuss some new applications of a mobile. Makea list of the ones you like and that seem the most useful. Choose one you bothlike and think will be popular with other people. Now work in groups of four to discuss the question.S1: I suggest the new applications of mobile should be: portable entertainmentplayers, cameras, membership and loyalty cards, guidebooks, maps, tickets, watches, and devices for accessing everything from news to corporate databases.Among them, we like the applications of devices for accessing everything from news to corporate databases. We both think they are useful and will soon be popular with others in the near future because the ability will enable a whole class of workers to rely less on their memory and more on their company’s an d even world’s knowledge maintenance, sales construction, transportation, taxicab drivers, and many other workers spend a great deal of time from offices.Thus, when they need information, they must either their be developed better with 4G to listen to the radio, watch TV, play games, do shopping, chat on the QQ,, surf the internet, control the electrical equipment at the distance, give off do business, and work as intelligent P4 computers. Among them, we like the new application of surfing the internet and doing shopping and we both think they are useful and will soon be popular among youngsters because it is very convenient for people to find various useful information whenever and wherever possible. As there are different kinds of goods to choose fro m online and it’s very funny and exciting to make choices and buy what we need at a reasonable price without going out and bargain with sellers in the markets.…T: Very good. Now get together with another pair to discuss whether your suggestion is a good one. Make a case for your idea. Let the other pair evaluate it. Then swap so that you evaluate their idea. Decide which idea you like better and prepare to explain it. Then present it to the class.S1: I think the first classmate’s expectation that the mob ile phones can do so much, maybe more than they can offer. The mobile phones usually that way. Though it used in some ways but we can do better because every day we to look for and different types of things to do and the smart mobile can make it more convenient for us to achieve our goals in life.…T: Now, I’d like you to discuss in groups and try to tell the other about yourideas and the others who act as the leaders of the company may ask some questions for I’d like some of you to report your group work.Five minutes later.(L=Leader of the company)S: I think the new mobiles can be developed better with 4G to watch TV and do shopping on the internet.L1: Well, advance and try to reduce the cost as much as possible.L2: Are you sure of the security measures of using these mobiles, especially when they are used to shop on the internet.S: Sure. I’ll keep the new mobiles designed so in order that they will give warning messages whenever there is misleading information or dishonesty in selling and buying things on the internet.L3: I think it would be difficult for the new mobile of limited size to be used to watch live broadcast and pick out all sorts of goods on the internet. Have you taken these into consideration?S: Yes. Now, I come to realize that I the mobiles with larger screens, which can make it more convenient and comfortable for the users. Thank you!T: Very good! I can see all of you the presentation. Next I want you to evaluate the ideas using the following criteria. First, do you know about the words, Such as originality and quality argument?S: Yes, originality just means the quality of being new and interesting and quality argument just means different opinions about the quality of the product. T: Quite right! Now let’s look at the crite ria and go on with the next step. Show the followingAfter each group part, add up the scores and award the contract to the winner! T: Next, I’d like to divide you into four teams and the leader of the company will write down the scores according to the criteria while class.Step III SPEAKING TASK (若时间不足，可改为作业)T: Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter, but a true inventor. Now look at the picture in 1 on page 68. I’d like you to work in pairs and discuss what this invention of Leonardo da Vinci was. Several alternative explanations are provided, but only one is correct. Be prepared to give your ideas to the class with your reasons.S: I think it’s a kind of water slide because we can clearly see the long slide way connecting the water tower, equipment on the roof of the building and the base on the ground. If there is a lack of water down on the ground, the working machine will be used so carry water from the tower above to the ground along the slide way. Just so, this specially fixed machine can also carry water up to store in the tower if the water on the ground is more than needed. This kind of invention is really useful especially in some dry or mountainous areas.T: Good! You are very creative inthinking about the use of the machine in different cases and from this we can see Leonard da Vinci is really a great inventor. He contributed to people’s everyday life besides painting wonderful pictures. Well, let’s go on with Activity 2. Please look at the pictures and read the instructions below, discuss in groups and finish the exercises.Sample answers:Step IV ProjectT: “Creativity is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible source of a country’s prosperity.” Chinese former President Jiang Zemin said in the speech delivered on November 24 to the scientific and technological community in the Science City of Novosibirsk. As a young generation, every one of us should be creative and inventive in order to contribute more to make our country richer and more beautiful. Now, please look at the project exercise on page 69. I’d like you first read the introductions and then discuss in pairs about the pictures and solutions to the problems. Finally I’d like someone to present your work. One possible solution:S: In this kind of situation, I will shape of or the nuts on the trees into the island to focus the the leaves and wood so that there will be much smoke rising from the fire caused by the strong light and . If I’m not lucky enough to be saved by someone, I would much about and make effective inventions especially in emergency. I am very proud of you and I’m sure you will do more research about the inventions after class until you make them perfect.Step V HomeworkAsk the students to do the following.1. Search for more information about mobiles on the Internet.2. Prepare for the listening part on page 26.。
