Chapter1.Body language-Reading教案

一、章节分析（Reading section ）

（一）综述

本章节通过Debbie和Simon 接人待物时的成功与失败，来说明肢体语言的重要性。在引导学生对文章进行整体理解同时，培养学生良好的礼仪。

本课的任务有两个：

1对课文进行整体阅读。培养学生略读（获取大意）、扫读（整理有关信息）、细读（分析篇章结构，慨括中心）等阅读能力。

2与时俱进。结合课文以及上海迎世博倡导学礼仪的活动，引导学生畅谈作为东道主该用何种Body Language来迎接四方宾客。

2能力目标

2 句型学习

●look ( sound, smell, taste, feel) + adj.

very quickly in order to get the general idea of the reading. When we skim, we skip the unimportant parts. Therefore, when we skim, we usually only look at titles and headings, pictures and diagrams, and important sentences (usually the first and last sentences of a paragraph) in the reading. Skimming takes only a minute or two, and it helps us get the general outline of the reading and follow the writer’s idea more easily. It is a way to prepare

us for a better and detailed understanding of the writer’s ideas.

略读是一种阅读方式。当我们进行阅读时，我们是在非常快速地阅读，目的是获地阅读材料的大概轮廓或意义。在略读时，我们跳过不重要的部分。因此，我们通常只看题目和段落标题、附图和图表以及重要的句子（一般是每个段落的第一句和最后一句）。略读只需一二分钟，它帮助我们获得阅读材料的大概轮廓并使我们更好地跟上作者的思路，它为我们更准确、更仔细的理解作者的思想做好了准备。

2)What is scanning?

Scanning is a reading strategy. When we scan a piece of reading, we read it very quickly in order to get specific or single pieces of information. So we scan to get information about time, names, places and numbers, etc. When we scan, we always skip the irrelevant parts and we only focus on what we need to find out.

跳读是一种阅读方法。当我们在扫读一篇阅读材料时，我们是在非常快速地阅读，目的是获得有关时间、姓名、地点和数据等的信息。在跳读时，我们总是跳过不相关的部分，而只是集中注意我们需要发现的信息。

3）Practice ( 老师们可以用以下材料说明介绍skimming和scanning的阅读技巧。)

English Manners

the day o r in the evening. “How do you do?”

Some forms of greeting which are good manners in China are not considered so in Britain or some other English-speaking countries. For example, usually we should avoid greeting a foreign friend by saying “ Where are you going?” or “Where have you been?”, which are quite common among friends in China. If we did ask either of these questions, the foreign friend would think that we were asking about his private affairs. Neither should we greet a foreigner by saying

“Have you had your dinner?”. He might think you were inviting him to dinner！These forms of greeting are only acceptable when they are used with close friends.

In most English-speaking countries shaking hands is also a form of greeting,

and the best kind of handshake is gentle and firm. Close friends or relatives,

on the other hand, usually do not shake hands with each other; they often exchange a quick kiss on the cheek when they meet or part. Men, however, don’t often kiss or embrace when greeting each other.

Men still tend to open doors for women in public. However, some young girls

cannot stand that. Nowadays more and more women are opening doors for men! Good manners are made up of many small things. Foreign friends or colleagues can get very upset if we forget to say or do something properly. This can be clearly

shown through the following example.

One day, on the desk of a department office in a college, lay a letter for

a visiting American professor. Her Chinese colleague happened to pass by. She saw it, picked it up, and later gave it to the American profess or, saying, “ Mrs Willis, a letter for you from your hometown.” To her surprise, the visiting

about English manners. The native speakers around talking and acting. English books, TV programmes

we must try our best to learn more about English manners and people’s ways of life so that we can communicate with foreigners more properly.

Exercises:

A) Skimming: Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph and match the

summaries in Column Ⅰwith the paragraphs in ColumnⅡ. The first one has been done for you as an example.

为下一步寻找细节奠定基础。）

B. Scanning: Scan the text and answer the following questions.

In what situation(s) is each of the following used?

●“Good morning.”, “Good afternoon.”, “Good evening.”

●“Hello.”, “Hi.”

●“How are you?” , “How are you doing?”

●“How do you do?”

●“Where are you going?”, “Where have you been?”, “Have you had your

dinner?”

(经过skimming环节后，同学们知道以上问题的答案应在第A段和B段去找。)

When and with whom do people exchange a quick kiss on the cheek?

(在第C段找。答案：relatives or close friends when meeting)

How many ways has the writer suggested to help us learn more about English manners?

( 在G段找。答案：3 )

（同学们往往畏惧阅读长文章，从头到尾读下来，却不知文章到底讲什么。通过学习

理解文章的大意，知道在什么段落去寻找需要的信息，并为下一步深层理解奠定基

础。）
