Have you ever had the experience of listening to a piece of music and feeling that it is written just for you？Music can be used to express many feelings，such as love，sorrow，friendship and peace. Although people from different areas of the world have different styles of music，we can still unde rstand each other’s music. Without music，what would our lives be like？How much do you know about music？Now let’s try to say some words about music:● Music: classical music，pop music，folk music，swing music，blues，jazz，rock and roll，rap，opera…● P eople related to music: musician，singer，composer，pianist，violinist…● Musical instruments: guitar，piano，violin，drum…Step 2: Sharing information1. Work in groups of four and discuss the four pictures on page 17.Picture of a jazz bandWhat are the people doing in this picture？What do you know about jazz？(Jazz is a musical art form. At the end of the 19th century，jazz music was the most popular type of music. Jazz was started in New Orleans in the USA and most jazz musicians at that time were black. It has been called the first original art form to develop in the USA. Early jazz musicians made money by playing in small bands. Often，jazz musicians made up the music as they were playing.Early jazz came from folk music and later developed into something else of its own.) Do you know any famous jazz musicians？(Louis Armstrong，one of the most famous jazz musicians，was born in New Orleans. He created wonderful jazz music with his trumpet. In addition to playing trumpet，he also sang and danced. He performed on Broadway，in films and recorded music.)What does jazz music sound like to you？Picture of Chinese operaWhat are the people doing in this picture？What is Chinese opera？(Chinese opera is a traditional form of drama in China. It started in the Tang Dynasty when Emperor Xuanzong founded the ‘Pear Garden’. A Chinese opera performance includes elements such as dance，song，dialogue，swordplay and acrobatics. The features of Chinese opera which can distinguish a character’s age，gender and personality are the makeup，movements，props and the colour of costumes.)What does Chinese opera sound like？(To some young people nowadays，the music accompanied by gongs，cymbals，drums and stringed instruments sounds a bit ‘shrill’ and ‘noisy’. However，the stories and the melodies are unique.)Do you know any famous Chinese opera performers？Picture of a girl playing the violinWhat is the girl doing in this picture？What do you know about the violin？(The violin belongs to the string family of instruments. It is made of wood and uses steel strings. A violinist uses a bow pulled across the strings to create beautiful music.)Do you know any famous violinists？(In the past，the great violinists played the violin as well as writing music for the instrument. After the 19th century，composers and violinists started to be two different roles. The most famous violin composers and players are Corelli，Vivaldi，Locatelli and later Paganini，Sarasate，Wieniawski，Vieuxtemps，Ysave，Kreisler and Enesco.Picture of a girl playing the pianoWhat is the girl doing in this picture？What do you know about the piano？(The piano belongs to the percussion family of instruments. It consists of a keyboard attached to a wooden box，inside of which are metal strings. A piano is played by pressing the keys. Each of the keys isattached to a hammer that strikes one of the strings inside the box.)Do you know any famous pianists？(Among the most famous pianists are Beethoven from Germany，Franz Liszt from Hungary and Frederick Chopin from Poland. Beethoven is known for his sonatas，Liszt for the Hungarian Rhapsody and Chopin for Revolution Etude.)2. Work in pairs and have a discussion about the three questions below the pictures.Step 3: DiscussionMany of us believe that music can have a very great effect on us. This is especially true of classical music，which some people believe can make us calmer or even smarter. There is a theory，called the ‘Mozart Effect’，that playing classical music for a child can help his or her brain develop. As a result，a lot of parents play classical music for their children，some evenbeginning before the child is born，in the hope that their children will be smarter. What do you think of the ‘Mozart Effect’ theory？Do you think it is true？Why or why not？Do you think adults can become smarter or calmer by listening to classical music？Why or why not？Step 4: Homework1. Collect more information about music.2. Prepare the Reading part.。

Unit 2 The universal language一、阅读理解。
Almost no one can resist a good mystery novel or detective novel, so these novels sell thousands of copies each year. And many readers regard famous mystery author Agatha Christie as Queen of Crime, whose stories are known for their tense atmosphere and strong psychological suspense and have a great effect on the English mystery novels.Christie was born in September 1890 in England. When she was growing up, her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories, which took her into a world of fantasy. Christie’s mother also encouraged her to write from a young age and also took her to travel a lot.She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World War Ⅰ. During the war, Christie wrote her first detective story: The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime, and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot, ranking second to Sherlock Holmes, to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers, and finally, in 1920, one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years, Christie wrote more books and short stories, gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success, life was not going well at home. In 1928, Archie and Agatha got a divorce(离婚). A short time later, she met a young archaeologist, Max Mallowan. After getting married in 1930, they began to spend some time each year in the Middle East, which provided settings for some of Christi e’s novels, such as Murder at the Vicarage(1930), Murder on the Orient Express (1934)and Death on the Nile(1939).Christie continued writing for the rest of her life. When she died in January 1976, readers around the world mourned(哀悼)her death. But her tales of mystery continue to be loved by new generations of readers. They’ve been translated into hundreds of languages and are selling well today and outsold only by the Bibleand Shakespeare in Britain.1.As a whole, this text .A.is a biography of Agatha ChristieB. promotes Agatha Christie’s novelsC. explains how Agatha Christie became a writerD.is a review of Agatha Christie’s novels2.What do we know about Hercule Poirot?A. He was better known than Sherlock Holmes.B. He made Christie become famous.C. He was good at catching criminals.D. He was the only main character in the novel.3.From the underlined part "outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare in Britain", we can learn that .A. the Bible helps her works to sell in BritainB. the sales of her works rank third in BritainC. the works of Shakespeare don’t sell better than hers in BritainD. they sell well equally in Britain4.Which is the right order for what Agatha Christie experienced?①She had her first detective novel published.②She finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles.③Her mother encouraged her to write.④Her marriage to Archie ended in divorce.⑤She wrote Murder on the Orient Express.A.③②④①⑤B.③①②⑤④C.②①③⑤④D.③②①④⑤【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记。
