一、課程性質、目的和任務
泛讀課是英語專業基礎階段教學的一門必修課，同時也是使學生大量接觸英語讀物和培養閱讀能力的一門實踐基礎課。英語閱讀課的目的在于培養學生的英語閱讀能力和提高學生的閱讀速度；培養學生細致觀察語言的能力以及假設判斷、分析歸納、推理檢驗等邏輯思維能力；提高學生的閱讀技能，包括略讀、尋讀、細讀、評讀等能力；并通過閱讀訓練幫助學生擴大詞匯量，增強語感，不斷積累各種語言知識，加深文化沉淀。閱讀課教學應注重閱讀理解能力與提高閱讀速度并重。教材應選用題材廣泛的閱讀材料，以便向學生提供廣泛的語言和文化素材，擴大學生的知識面，培養學生的閱讀興趣。課外指定長篇簡易讀物和淺顯原著，培養學生細致觀察語言的能力，要求學生定期寫讀書報告。閱讀課教學中，要加強學生思維能力和創新能力的培養；要有意識地訓練學生分析與綜合、抽象與概括、多角度分析問題等多種思維能力以及發現問題、解決難題等創新能力；正確處理語言技能訓練與創新能力培養的關系；并注重培養學生對文化差異的敏感性、寬容性以及處理文化差異的靈活性，注重培養跨文化交際能力。
二、教學基本要求
本課程重點講述英語閱讀的基本原理、閱讀技巧和實踐方法，側重于英語學習者語言綜合知識的運用。因而，在本課程的教學過程中，必須使學生真正透徹地領會諸如閱讀的過程、圖式理論、構詞法、猜詞技巧、句子與句子的關系、話題與話題句、要旨、推理與判斷、文體與風格等閱讀理論內涵；要注重閱讀理論與閱讀實踐的緊密結合，處理好閱讀速度與理解之間的關系，避免知識的重復和脫節，從而使學生能夠得到比較系統而全面的英語閱讀基本技能。
三、教學內容及要求
1、教材中閱讀文章每學期32篇（其中課內指定閱讀16篇，課后閱讀8篇）。課程要求學生掌握以下幾方面的內容：
（1）基本的閱讀與理解技巧（猜測詞義、找段落及文章主題句、文章題材分析、文章寫作手法分析、難句理解、推斷作者的立場及態度等）。
（2）必要的背景知識。
（3）就閱讀材料的內容進行討論，勤于思考，善于總結。
（4）逐步提高對各種體裁的快速閱讀能力（計時性閱讀）。
(5)學習一些英語修辭知識，如：(similes and metaphors, personification,reification, hyperbole, paradox and irony euphemism,idioms)。
(6)學習跳讀（skimming）和略讀（scanning）閱讀技巧的運用。
(7)限時閱讀以提高閱讀速度和效率：快速閱讀的訓練。
四、閱讀實踐環節
快速閱讀技能及理解是本課程的重點訓練項，在側重閱讀理論的教學同時，不應當忽略閱讀量的作用。按文體適量增加針對于英語專業等級考試的閱讀材料，作為練習穿插在課堂教學中。
五、課外習題及課程討論
完成教材所規定的閱讀理解練習并進行課外閱讀（參考閱讀書目見第十項）。
六、教學方法與手段
針對閱讀課教學的自身特點，課堂教學應貫穿以學生為主體、教師為主導的教學模式。在講解閱讀技巧的同時應輔以大量的閱讀實踐，在大量的閱讀過程中體會并掌握各種閱讀方法，達到逐漸提高閱讀理解能力與閱讀速度的目的。在加強訓練的同時，采用啟發式、討論式、發現式和研究式的教學方法，充分調動學生學習的積極性，激發學生的學習動機，最大限度地讓學生參與學習的全過程。指導學生利用現有圖書資料和網上信息獲取知識。課外閱讀是閱讀課教學必需的延伸與補充，更是培養和發展學生能力的重要途徑。通過大量的課外閱讀，涉獵題材廣泛的各類讀物，拓寬知識面，不斷提高閱讀能力并增強對文章的鑒賞力。

第二篇：淺談英語泛讀
淺談英語泛讀
中學英語教科書服務大綱所規定的教學目的就是提供給師生重要的教學材料。教材的組成是：聽力訓練、學生課本、閱讀訓練及練習冊。套教材設計，其實是通過泛讀、精讀、聽力的各項訓練中來判別的，來培養學生聽、說、讀、寫、譯等各項方面的綜合性能力，用來發展學生英語交際能力，加快學生的閱讀速度。閱讀又可分為精讀、泛讀和快速閱讀，因此，學生課本以及學生用書都是精讀課本，閱讀訓練屬泛讀內容。泛讀和精讀是和教學在高中英語教學中相輔相成的，聽力訓練和閱讀訓練是一個有機整體，重視高中英語泛讀教學是英語教學的內在要求。
一、英語泛讀缺位的原因
《高中英語課程標準》中講到：“除教材之外，課外閱讀量六級達到20萬以上，七級要達到30萬以上，八級要達到36萬以上。”從這一要求當中我們就可以看出泛讀教學的重要性。平時加強泛讀教學能激發學生閱讀的興趣，增加他們的知識面，擴大他們的眼界，培養他們的閱讀技巧和策略，為高考英語速度和質量做了一個很好的鋪墊。既然泛讀教學如此重要，那為什么高中英語泛讀教學會存在缺位現象呢？究其原因有如下幾點：
1.教師認識不到位，學校領導重視不夠，教學管理部門監管缺失，學生課業負擔重等方面原因同時存在。具體表現為：學校領導沒有重視泛讀科目；教師精、泛讀之間的關系及泛讀教學對學生英語學習影響也沒有很強的意識；教學的管理部門不能提供政策上的引導與督促；學生會忽視泛讀學習，是因為疲勞的應付各 種練習題、模擬題,而課業的負擔也很重。
2.有的教師雖然也提倡課外閱讀，同時也會布置相關任務（如概括中心思想或寫篇心得體會），但由于布置的任務跟作文相似，批起來時間長任務繁重，并且手頭要忙的作業太多，無法顧及每個學生特殊的情況。同時也缺乏有序的組織和有效地監督，所以久而久之即使布置也如形同虛設。
3.從學生角度講，他們由于應付各科作業，背誦已經花很多時間，盡管對有些跟他們生活息息相關的文章感興趣，但由于要完成很多作業而無法自作主張。
4.有些學生雖然有這種擴大閱讀量的意識，在實踐中卻又無法堅持，經常是“三天打魚，兩天曬網”，有始無終，缺乏計劃性和長期性。這樣導致很多學生無法接觸到大量的英語國家的信息和背景知識，使學生又處于知識面狹窄的狀況，這樣又影響了他們閱讀能力的提高。
5.還有的學生不要說不進行泛讀訓練，即使在平時做的閱讀理解 中也采取劃答案找答案的做題規律，根本不重視篇章的理解和文章的結構，常常在選標題時以文章中的例子為標題。因為平時老師在做閱讀理解時總是有過多的講解，分析孤立的詞匯與結構，學生也養成了不動腦經，不發揮聯想的主動的創造性思維的能力。久而久之，學生把閱讀看成是一件極其痛苦的事，為了做好閱讀理解而閱讀，根本領悟不到語言的美感，不能豐富大腦，不能從中獲得教訓或者是一個深刻的道理，達不成共鳴。
二、高中英語泛讀教學的應對策略
英國學者弗蘭克斯·格雷利特（Francoise Grellet）認為：“泛讀是一種熟練活動，主要是解決對文章的綜合理解問題。進行泛讀訓練時，首先應該從綜合理解開始，然后再向詳細理解過渡。要求學生完成的任務應該是綜合理解性的。同時，設計閱讀理解練習也應該是從對選文整體理解開始，而不是詞匯或較具體的內容。” 高中的英語教師，應當在教學實踐中努力開展好泛讀教學。所以，怎樣進行有效的泛讀訓練，筆者認為可以從以下幾點入手：
1.立足于教材，上好每一堂整體教學課，充分把每個模塊的Reading先整體教學，在整體教學的過程中同時擴充其他泛讀材料進行有效地訓練。
【案例】
如在教M6U4Reading“The UN------bringing everyone closer together”時，在學生回答了幾個問題之后，我們就趁熱打鐵讓學生把這篇文章分成四段，同時請同學告知每一段的節數，并寫上段落大意。接下來請學生回答兩個體現有概括性能力的問題，即：“Why does the author choose the title ‘The UN------bringing everyone closer together?’ Can you find some examples from the text?”和“What does the author feel about being a Goodwill Ambassador and what is her attitude towards wars and conflicts in the world?”緊接著引出這篇文章的Reading strateg，提問學生本文的作者的態度是favorable 還是unfavorable的，并且請學生們找出相關的句子和關鍵詞來證明自己的觀點。講到這里我們趁熱打鐵，給出一些相關的高考題訓練，如：Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.(2012陜西高考閱讀理解D)Q：The author’s attitude towards strange styles in the workplace may best be described as ____B___.A.enthusiastic B.negative C.positive D.sympathetic 如果每個單元的課文能這樣結合的話，學生在閱讀技巧上肯定會日積月累，總有一天會有所突破的。
第二，給學生們的閱讀材料要時代性的文章或者是能讓學生看了一眼就能感興趣的文章，也就是說與他們的生活息息相關的文章。筆者認為尤其是高一時一定要選生詞不超過2%的文章，最好是與課文類似的，平時閱讀理解完形填空中做過的文章，用這種泛讀材料一可以讓學生產生近距離感，二可以鞏固已學知識，三可以簡單講評，只要求學生歸納出中心思想或劃出主題句即可。
泛讀課在中學階段無法順利開展的主要原因之一在于學校沒有統一的泛讀材料。如果教師只是口頭強調增加閱讀量的必要性，而不檢測學生的閱讀進展及效果，那么閱讀效率永遠得不到提高。在此步驟中，執教者借助統一征訂的某一期報紙，通過搶答題與必答題的形式檢測學生是否閱讀以及閱讀的效果。以上七道搶答題設置得比較簡單，主要以擴大學生的知識面以及激發學生的閱讀興趣為目的。五道必答題是在搶答題的基礎上，適當增加閱讀的難度，主要是針對閱讀文章的整體理解，旨在檢測學生是 否讀懂文章，是否理解文章大意，并不要求達到細節理解等深層次理解的程度。
Step 2 : Reading ability training(While-reading)本步驟主要由四個部分主成：
Training 1: Fast reading and guessing words 快速閱讀——訓練猜詞能力，訓練材料是與報紙第五版面相關的世博會話題。
Training 2: Words and expressions 詞匯講解——主要講解文章中出現的生詞及其 詞綴以及沒有任何生詞但無法理解的習語。
Training 3: Difficult sentences 難句理解——處理影響學生對文章理解的難 句，難點在于虛擬語氣。Training 4: Theme or opinion 總結歸納——訓練學生尋找主題句、提煉觀點句的能力。
本步驟目的：在閱讀技能方面主要訓練學生快速閱讀、猜詞以及理解文章主旨大意的能力。在詞匯方面主要掃清生詞和難句的障礙，擴大詞匯量。
訓練策略：詞綴閃卡、猜測習語在語境中的意思、提問解答。本步驟時長：25分鐘。
Step 3: Ability application(Post-reading)本步驟目的：即學即用，讓學生在做中學。檢測手段：高考閱讀理解一篇、迷你辯論。本步驟時長：15分鐘左右。執教者要求學生在六分鐘內完成一篇2003年上海高考英語試卷閱讀理解C篇，這是一篇議論文，是關于考試體系要保護還是廢除的討論。執教者經過略微修改，降低了三道選擇題的難度。這三道選擇題 分別檢測了猜詞、作者觀點及文章主旨三個方面，考查學生對本節課訓練的這三個技能的掌握程度。執教者指導學生先獨立思考，然后再小組討論。
第三，制定明確具體的泛讀計劃。泛讀是提高學生閱讀理解能力的主渠道。只有通過系統的、嚴格的閱讀訓練，才能使學生掌握正確的閱讀方法和形成基本的閱讀技能，加快閱讀速度，擴大閱讀量，提升語感。筆者認為從高一開始每周就可開設一節泛讀課。假如每節泛讀課讀3-4篇300-400 字的文章，按每學期18周計算，一期可讀70篇，高中三年累計可泛讀300篇左右，其閱讀量可達12萬字左右，是中學六年教科書詞匯總量的兩倍。同時，泛讀教學除了時間的安排要納入計劃外，我們也要規定 教學指標，如對閱讀速度、閱讀技巧等項目要做出具體的安排。
泛讀的任務在于著重提高學生的閱讀理解能力；培養細致觀察以及假設、判斷、分析、歸納、推理論證等邏輯思維能力；培養速讀能力以及閱讀的興趣，擴大詞匯量，拓展文化背景知識。從用途上看，泛讀的實用性最廣。在實際生活里，80%?90%的閱讀方式都是泛讀。目前的英語閱讀教學主要是整體閱讀教學模式，而此種模式是建立在圖式理論（Schema Theory)的基礎上，其核心思想是理解新知識時，總是將新知識與已有的知識聯系起來。顯然，與話題有關的原有知識越多，閱讀理解的難度就會越小。
第四，循序漸進方法靈活。泛讀教學可分為課內閱讀與課外閱讀，首先在教 師指導下實施課內閱讀，再擴大到課外閱讀。泛讀教學應從高一到高三不間斷，教師可分三個階段進行：
1．高一年級階段
這一階段，學生剛從初中進入高中，教師應注意初、高中英語知識的銜接，引導學生把精讀課中學生所學知識運用到泛讀課上，向學生介紹閱讀技巧，利用閱讀教材中的限時閱讀材料加強學生閱讀速度訓練，同時，培養學生良好的閱讀習慣，適當地進行口、筆頭語言輸出，主要以回答問題、角色扮演、轉換角色、講述、改寫、縮寫、續寫課文等形式練習。教師的訓練方法應得當，形式應靈活多樣，教師可采取閱讀前活動、閱讀中活動、閱讀后活動；根據閱讀材料的類型運用串講法、問題法、討論法、默讀記時法等形式吸引學生參與，活躍課堂氣氛，增加師生互動的機會，從而有利于學生理解詞、句子和語篇，激發學生的閱讀興趣與信心。
2．高二年級階段 學生經過一年的英語學習與訓練，詞匯量大大增加，掌握了一些閱讀技能，閱讀速度比以前加快了，基本上養成了一些較好的閱讀習慣，有了一定的閱讀興趣，但仍然需要教師的指導，這一階段還要進一步加大閱讀量，引導學生閱讀《英語周報》、《21世紀報》等中級層次的英文報刊，并逐漸增加不同題材、不同體裁的命題話題、命題作文的練習。
3．高三年級階段
學生經過兩年的學習，詞匯量加大，閱讀速度大大加快，教師應鼓勵學生進一步加大課外閱讀，同時，繼續加大命題話題、命題作文的練習，逐步加大訓練 的難度強度。引導學生的閱讀材料從《英語周報》、《英語畫刊》等以課程練習為主的英語報刊雜志，到《英語沙龍》、《中國日報》等高信息量的閱讀材料。
第五，選取適當的材料，注意方法育泛讀材料選擇相當重要。教師為學生選定泛讀材料要具有足夠的語言輸人量，要具有思想性、時代感、知識性、真實性，具有可理解性，要題材廣泛、體裁多樣。泛讀要注意方法，急于求成行不通，要循序漸進，方法單一效果難有保證，要靈活安排。方法的選擇要根據具體情況區別對待。如對待不同的年級、不同的學生，要采取的方法也應有所差別，同樣的學生在閱讀不同類型的文章時，也要有所差別。
每天上課給學生一篇較短的泛讀材料讓他們限時閱讀，讀完后回答出大意即可。這樣慢慢地就能培養學生的閱讀速度和提高他們對把握整體的敏感度。除了回答中心思想，也可以采取復述，改寫，縮寫，續寫等形式練習。如果能堅持一個星期寫一篇文章的話，作文也相應得到了訓練，對作文的提高也有著舉足輕重的作用。還有一些學生有增加閱讀量的意識，由于沒有很好地計劃性和長期性，所以經常有始無終。對于這些學生，筆者往往采取課后定期輔導，鼓勵他們的同時給他們一個督促的作用，使他們能持之以恒而達到一個比較理想的效果。
不管是從理論中還是從實踐中來講，泛讀課其實是高中英語教學絕對不能缺少的一部分，開設泛讀課在高中英語教學中最基本的，也是絕對可以執行的。筆者認為，只要教師意識到泛讀教學缺位帶來的負面影響，更新觀念，認識到位，措施得力，通過在教學中增加泛讀教學，加大英語語言輸入量，持之以恒地不斷進行泛讀教學，必然會逐漸改變英語教學中長期形成的“耗時低效”狀況，起到事半功倍的效果。

第四篇：英語泛讀讀后感
Reading report10商務英語一班陳勝萍1040104127
Walden
Recently, I read a book named Walden.It took me some time to read through it.Most important, I learnt a lot from the beautiful language and the life attitude of the author, Thoreau.This is a book which tells in spring, Thoreau started building a cabin in the woods, thinking about life, reading some books, and listening to the sound of nature.In autumn, he planted beans, observed Walden Pond.In winter, the Walden Pond was frozen, and lots of animals accompanied with him.As spring's coming, the Walden and other ponds melted.Then everything in nature was awake and reborn including Thoreau.Thoreau first wrote that most people pursuit their necessary things of life such as fashionable clothes, houses and equipment.They pursuit these things while Thoreau went to the woods to build a cabin which only cost $28.12, eating simple food and needing little furniture.I still remember one of chapters in his book, Higher Law, emphasized more on the spiritual aspect, instead of the
satisfaction of material.Besides, he urged people to read more classic literature.For example, Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey and other great writers’ masterpieces.More over, he wrote that though he lived alone in the woods, he was close to nature and made himself as a part of nature.He lived alone, but sometimes he also talked with his visitors who are honest, sincere, and thinkable, including those people who love their lives.Thoreau also mentioned that the noise in the town and the whistle of train disturbed the quite life of the town.However, in the woods, life is quite.When he lived in the woods, he listened to animals' sounds such as bird's singing, owl’s hooting, cockerel’s crowing and so on.He lived with animals friendly.He also described the Walden Pond.The water, blue and green, clear and pure, froze in winter and melted in spring.When I was reading Walden, I felt that a kind of profound thinking of life hid behind the beautiful words of Thoreau, providing much food for thought.Walden
The words and phrases about the nature especially the Walden Pond were beautiful and fascinating.The sentences were full of wisdom and philosophy.When reading this book, it reminded me of those people who work day and night to earn money, wasted a lot of money to buy luxury and expensive things, wasted much time to entertain themselves.For my part, they might easily lose themselves.Though their materials were full, their minds are hungry.As far as I am concerned, the real life is to make every complicated thing to be simple and enrich our thoughts and soul.General speaking, simplicity can make our soul and bodies more comfortable and free.Material is just the skin;inside world is the most significant.As for me, many people who around me think I
should buy some beautiful clothes and dress up.However, I think my life is good.One more thing I want to say is that people did not understand him when
Thoreau lived alone in the woods, even Emerson thought what he did was wrong.But I think Thoreau’s life was successful, meaningful and happy, so do I.The life attitude of Thoreau really grips me deeply.Because I think that the success and happiness of life all come from exactly value.Everyone deeply desires of
themselves life.When you know what the value of yourself is, meanwhile you can enjoy your life according to the value every time.You will find that everyday you have full of energy and enthusiasm to do anything, hear the sure sound from your heart, and often feel intense achievement.The most important is that your heart is peace and calm.You are happy ever day.In the last place, I envy Thoreau so much for he lived in such a beautiful and comfortable nature environment.He breathed the fresh air, lived with wild with animals friendly;appreciated the scenery of Walden Pond and so on.While in modern society, people pursuit their own interests to hunt and kill animals, cut down trees and pollute the rivers and so on.As a result, the number of wildlife is decreasing dramatically, the area of lakes is shrinking, and the water is not pure any more.The environmental problems such as globe warming, climate change and air and water pollution have been becoming increasingly serious.When it
Walden
comes to environment problems, I will remind of the beautiful scenery Thoreau described in the book.And the book can raise awareness of people of environmental protection.In a word, I really do learn o lot from the readable and valuable book., the life attitude of Thoreau and deep thinking of environmental protection.Maybe I cannot understand Thoreau's thoughts completely, but I think the book, Walden, is a fairly good book to read.I hope you can read through it and I am sure you can learn something from it.

About the author: Laura Ingalls Wilder
Laura Ingalls Wilder, well-known author of the Little House series of books, was born in the big woods of Wisconsin.When she was 7, she and her family traveled by covered wagon and moved to the prairie land of Walnut Grove, Minnesota.Her family was one of the pioneer families who settled there, following the Homestead Act of 1862, which encouraged Americans to travel west and settle.Today, the people of Walnut Grove celebrate Wilder's books every July with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant.The Pageant is a family-oriented outdoor drama with all of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie book characters.An actress playing a 70-year-old Laura narrates the story, reflecting on her life in Walnut Grove during the 1870s.If you've never read any of the Little House books, you should, because you can learn a lot about life in America during the 1870s.Main Works Little House in the Big Wood(1932)Farmer Boy(1933)Little House on the Prairie(1935)On the Banks of Plum Creek(1937)By the Shores of Silver Lake(1939)The Long Winter(1940)Little Town on the Prairie(1941)Those Happy Golden Years(1943)Preview Questions What is the Westward Movement in America?

How do you understand this sentence? The sun sank out of sight, the woods grew dark, and he did not come.Ma started supper and set the table, but he did not come.It was time to do the chores, and still he had not come.Note that the sentence he did not come has been repeated three times in this short paragraph.The repetition stresses the anxiety with which the children are waiting for Pa's coming back.How do you understand this sentence? “But he could have hurt us, couldn't he?” she asked.Note that the question is put in its subjunctive mood.From the context we know that Ma's consoling remarks make Laura feels better.When she asks this question, she knows well that the bear will not hurt them because they have protections.So what she really implies is that without those protections, the bear will have hurt them.Topic for Discussion What kind of people were Laura's parents?
Discuss the kind of life the family lived in the big woods.Ⅵ.Summary(小結)

Unit 4 Migratory Birds and Coffee I.Teaching Objectives（教學目標）
Go over the whole text in limited time and try to get the main idea of the passage Get to know the relationship between shade coffee plantation and migratory birds and the importance of conserving migratory birds and their habitats.II.Teaching Importance and Difficulties（教學重點及難點）1.The usage of new words and phrases 2.Using context clues to find out the meaning of words 3.Understanding paragraphs-How to identify the Main Idea.4.Reading skills: Understanding the Topic III.Teaching Methods（教學方法）Teaching Discussing Practicing
IV.Teaching Time（教學時數）: 4 periods V.Teaching Content（教學內容）1.Related Information Under the category “Research on coffee growing,” you can see a list of some of the earlier research on bird diversity on coffee plantations.Some facts gleaned from this research include: ? The majority of bird species in shade coffee plantations are feeding in the shaded overstory, not in the coffee.The coffee shrubs themselves offer few resources.This is why sun coffee monocultures do not support a diversity of birds.? The value of coffee farms is dependent largely upon the diversity of their canopy: both the number of different species and the structural complexity of the canopy.? Invertebrates and nectar are the most important food sources for birds in coffee plantations, so coffee farms are especially important to bird species that feed on these resources.? Migratory birds are more flexible in their habitat requirements, and do better in coffee plantations than many resident species, which are more sensitive to habitat changes.? Inga trees are especially important overstory species.? Use of coffee plantations by migrant birds is highly seasonal.Of course, North American migrants are only present in the tropics during spring and fall migration and in winter.However, even during winter some migrants, in particular those that feed on nectar or fruit, tend to increase in number from early to late winter in plantations where these resources are available.Three North American migrants are strongly associated with the flowering of Inga trees: Baltimore Oriole(above), Orchard Oriole, and Tennessee Warbler.Here is a list of North American species that use coffee plantations.? Resident birds that make altitudinal migrations(up and downslope)also take advantage of flower crops available at shade coffee plantations, and are therefore more common at certain times of the season that others.? The elevation of the plantations must be taken into account, because bird species composition and abundance vary depending on elevations;highlands are particularly important.Likewise, when examining the number and type of birds, or any taxa, in coffee farms, the distance of the farm or study plot from natural forest must be considered.Typically the closer a plot is to natural forest, the more and varied species it will contain.Bird diversity in rustic or heavy shade plantations sometimes rivals that of natural forests.These plantations always have a significantly higher bird diversity(as well as a diversity of other species)than do sun coffee plantations.Shade coffee plantations offer important refuges for species in areas where natural habitats are quickly being converted to agriculture.2.Reading skills Understanding the Topic
Just as previewing helps you to understand the important ideas in a book, a unit or a chapter, identifying the topic of what you are reading helps you to focus on the general subject of a reading.A topic is the general subject of the sentences in a paragraph or that of the paragraphs in a text.It is much like a title for the paragraph or the text.Finding out the topic of what you are reading is the first step toward understanding subject information.Knowing the paragraph topic builds a base of comprehension which leads to further understanding about the text.Read the following paragraph to see how the topic reflects the general subject of the sentences in a paragraph and how it can be stated in a few words.Page58
What do you think is the general subject of this paragraph? The first sentence in it raises a question and the rest of the paragraph tries to answer the question by giving a list of advantages of hobbies.Part of the first sentence can serve as the topic the paragraph: What to gain from a hobby.or we can use fewer words to illustrate the topic, such as ―advantages of hobbies.‖ 3.vocabulary in context Conservation n 保護；保存
There is a need for the conservation of trees, or there will soon be no forests.有必要保護樹木，否則不久將會沒有森林了。

IV.Teaching Time（教學時數）: 4 periods V.Teaching Content（教學內容）1.Related Information About Isaac Bashevis Singer(1904-1991)was the most famous Yuddish writer of the 20th century.Born in Poland, he came to the USA in 1935.one of ten American writers to be awarded the Nobel Prize and perhaps the most influential and beloved Jewish-American writer.A prolific writer who vividly conjoured the annihilated Jewish world of Eastern Europe, he spoke to the fears, longings and ambivalence of America’s Modern nation of immigrants.Singer drew on folk memories of work those mystical dramatically from the realistic to fantastic, in ways that startled readers and inspired other writers.2004 was the centennial year of the master storyteller Isaac Bashevis Singer, who in 1978 became the seventh American to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.The Library of America presents Collected Stories, a major celebration of Singer's achievement.Beginning with “Gimpel the Fool,” whose title story brought Singer to prominence in America when translated from Yiddish by Saul Bellow in 1953, and concluding with “The Death of Methuselah,” the collection published three years before his death in 1991, this three-volume edition brings together for the first time all the story collections Singer published in English in the versions he called his “second originals”—translations he supervised and collaborated on himself, revising as he worked.In addition, Collected Stories includes thirteen previously uncollected stories from the Ransom Center collections.Here are nearly 200 stories—the full range of Singer's vision encompassing Old World shtetl and New World exile.Born in Poland in 1904 into a family of rabbis, Singer was raised in the traditional culture that was to be annihilated during World War II, and his haunting stories testify to the richness of that vanished world.Singer's Old World stories reveal a wild, mischievous, often disturbing supernaturalism evocative of both local storytelling traditions and dark undercurrents born of Singer's own concerns and obsessions.After leaving Poland, Singer settled in Manhattan and—slowly at first, then dramatically—made himself an American writer, in the process transforming American culture and being transformed himself, in his life and his work.Exploring the daily lived reality and imaginative boundaries of Jewish culture as it was transplanted to the United States, he created characters—many of them survivors of the Holocuast— that dramatized the conflicts not only of postwar American Jews, but of an entire society committed both to cultural pluralism and to assimilation.His achievement in the stories gathered in Collected Stories reveal him to be the emblematic immigrant American writer, whose vision and insights expanded his adopted country's sense of its own culture.The Nobel Prize in Literature 1978

NHS— National Health Service 國民醫療服務
NHS is the publicly-funded healthcare system in the UK, and provides free healthcare to all residents.It started operating in 1948.Since its launch in 1948, the NHS has grown to become the world’s largest publicly funded health service.The NHS was born out of a long-held ideal that good healthcare should be available to all, regardless of wealth.That principle remains at its core.With the exception of charges for some prescriptions and optical and dental services, the NHS remains free at the point of use for anyone who is resident in the UK.That is currently more than 60m people.It covers everything from antenatal screening and routine treatments for coughs and colds to open heart surgery, accident and emergency treatment and end-of-life care.Graphic of NHS structure As can be seen on the diagram(right)the NHS is divided into two sections: primary and secondary care.Primary care is the first point of contact for most people and is delivered by a wide range of independent contractors, including GPs, dentists, pharmacists and optometrists.Secondary care Secondary care is known as acute healthcare and can be either elective care or emergency care.Elective care means planned specialist medical care or surgery, usually following referral from a primary or community health professional such as a GP.Prescription costs Prescription prepayment certificates(PPC)are available in England and they can save you money.The current prescription charge is ￡7.20.You can get free NHS prescriptions if, at the time the prescription is dispensed, you:
* are 60 or over
* are under 16
* are 16-18 and in full-time education
* are pregnant or have had a baby in the previous 12 months and have a valid maternity exemption certificate(MatEx)
