Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

The grammatical structure of this unit is predicative clause. Like object clause and subject clause, predicative clause is one of Nominal Clauses. The leading words of predicative clauses are that, what, how, what, where, as if, because, etc.The design of teaching activities aims to guide students to perceive the structural features of predicative clauses and think about their ideographic functions. Beyond that, students should be guided to use this grammar in the context apporpriately and flexibly.1. Enable the Ss to master the usage of the predicative clauses in this unit.2. Enable the Ss to use the predicative patterns flexibly.3. Train the Ss to apply some skills by doing the relevant exercises.1.Guide students to perceive the structural features of predicative clauses and think about their ideographic functions.2.Strengthen students' ability of using predicative clauses in context, but also cultivate their ability of text analysis and logical reasoning competence.Step1: Underline all the examples in the reading passage, where noun clauses are used as the predicative. Then state their meaning and functions.1) One theory was that bad air caused the disease.2) Another theory was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water.3) The truth was that the water from the Broad Street had been infected by waste.Sum up the rules of grammar:1. 以上黑体部分在句中作表语。2. 句1、2、3中的that在从句中不作成分,只起连接作用。 Step2: Review the basic components of predicative clauses1.Definition

In the early 19th century, _2_________ an outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died. But neither its cause, 3__________ its cure was understood. A British doctor, John Snow, wanted to solve the problem and he knew that cholera would not be controlled _4_________ its cause was found. In general, there were two contradictory theories 5 __________ explained how cholera spread. The first suggested that bad air caused the disease. The second was that cholera was caused by an _6_________(infect) from germs in food or water. John Snow thought that the second theory was correct but he needed proof. So when another outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854, he began to investigate. Later, with all the evidence he _7_________ (gather), John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. Therefore, he had the handle of the pump _8_________ (remove) so that it couldn't be used. Through his intervention,the disease was stopped in its tracks. What is more, John Snow found that some companies sold water from the River Thames that __9__________________ (pollute) by raw waste. The people who drank this water were much more likely _10_________ (get) cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.

This happens because the dish soap molecules have a strong negative charge, and the milk molecules have a strong positive charge. Like magnets, these molecules are attracted to each other, and so they appear to move around on the plate, taking the food coloring with them, making it look like the colors are quickly moving to escape from the soap.Listening text:? Judy: Oh, I'm so sorry that you were ill and couldn't come with us on our field trip. How are you feeling now? Better?? Bill: Much better, thanks. But how was it?? Judy: Wonderful! I especially liked an area of the museum called Light Games.it was really cool. They had a hall of mirrors where I could see myself reflected thousands of times!? Bill: A hall of mirrors can be a lot of fun. What else did they have?? Judy: Well, they had an experiment where we looked at a blue screen for a while, and then suddenly we could see tiny bright lights moving around on it. You'll never guess what those bright lights were!? Bill: Come on, tell me!? Judy: They were our own blood cells. For some reason, our eyes play tricks on us when we look at a blue screen, and we can see our own blood cells moving around like little lights! But there was another thing I liked better. I stood in front of a white light, and it cast different shadows of me in every color of the rainbow!? Bill: Oh, I wish I had been there. Tell me more!? Judy: Well, they had another area for sound. They had a giant piano keyboard that you could use your feet to play. But then, instead of playing the sounds of a piano, it played the voices of classical singers! Then they had a giant dish, and when you spoke into it, it reflected the sound back and made it louder. You could use it to speak in a whisper to someone 17 meters away.? Bill: It all sounds so cool. I wish I could have gone with you? Judy: I know, but we can go together this weekend. I'd love to go there again!? Bill: That sounds like a great idea!
The grammar of this unit is designed to review noun clauses. Sentences that use nouns in a sentence are called noun clauses. Nominal clauses can act as subject, object, predicate, appositive and other components in compound sentences. According to the above-mentioned different grammatical functions, nominal clauses are divided into subject clause, object clause, predicate clause and appositive clause. In this unit, we will review the three kinds of nominal clauses. Appositive clauses are not required to be mastered in the optional compulsory stage, so they are not involved.1. Guide the students to judge the compound sentences and determine the composition of the clauses in the sentence.2. Instruct students to try to learn grammar by generalizing grammar rules, controlling written practice, and semi-open oral output.3. Inspire the students to systematize the function and usage of noun clause1.Instruct students to try to learn grammar by generalizing grammar rules, controlling written practice, and semi-open oral output.2.Inspire the students to systematize the function and usage of noun clauseStep1: The teacher ask studetns to find out more nominal clauses from the reading passage and udnerline the nominal clauses.

中国邮政日前宣布开放全国5000个自提网点,任何一家快递公司发货,均可享受此服务。自提网点包括现有邮政自有网点和“无人值守”的智能快递柜。看似简单的自提系统开放,背后却是智能快递的大市场。企业、专家、主管部门等负责人均认为,智能快递已成为当前政府驱动快递满足消费和商业需求的重要手段。快递员将快递包裹送到置于小区的智能快递柜中,给收件人发送取件短信。收件人经过手机查询——输入密码——开门取件三个步骤,便可将一个快递包裹从智能快递柜中取出,抱回家去。这种方式越来越受到居民和快递员欢迎。中国快递协会常务副会长李惠德说,目前出现的一些智能快递柜,代表着未来中国快递业的发展方向——智能快递,即通过引入信息化、大数据等现代化手段,融合预测等方式,以更加便捷的智能设施(如智能快递柜)和手段满足高密度、高成本、高人力的现代快递工作,通过建设社区的“智能快递站”为消费者服务。
现在很多年轻人喜欢晚睡晚起,生活毫无规律,早上都不怎么吃早餐。大量研究发现,经常不吃早餐会干扰食物钟,也会给健康造成影响。台湾研究发现,每周吃早饭次数低于一次的人,肥胖的几率更高;哈佛大学研究发现,不吃早餐的人患糖尿病的风险也更高;在儿童心血管健康方面的研究发现,长期不吃早餐还会增加罹患心血管疾病的风险。
我大学毕业留在了三十里外的省城,其他兄弟几个则继承了母亲经商的天分,在县城营生,都已经与种地不相干了。我们有了足够的力量尽孝,劳碌了一辈子的母亲被各家抢着邀请,心安理得地享受赡养。但父亲一直拒绝我们的供奉,仿佛我们拿给他的吃穿用品,是偷来的抢来的。此外,他也不愿意和我们多交流。濉河中的卵石被父亲一块块地挖出,堆砌在河滩地的四周,圈起了一座“城池”。日晒雨淋,寒暑易节,他始终把自己圈在里面,像绣花一样走针引线。几乎到他去世,父亲都在努力表明他是在靠他的土地生活。
①马铃薯是菜还是粮?在1月6日举办的马铃薯主粮化发展战略研讨会上,丰富多彩的马铃薯主食制品令人大开眼界。马铃薯全粉占比40%的馒头、面包、马铃薯芝士蛋糕等,都颠覆着人们对马铃薯的认知。②农业部副部长在会上表示,要以科技创新引领马铃薯主粮化发展,推动形成马铃薯与谷物协调发展的新格局。据介绍,马铃薯有望成为稻米、小麦、玉米之外的第四大主粮作物。它的种植面积将逐步扩大到1.5亿亩,年产鲜薯增加2亿吨,折合粮食约为5000万吨。
那天的晚饭、吴老师一直给我夹莱、夸我作丈修改得好,还说我各方面都有进步,下个学期能进班委会、我熟械地吃着饭、饭菜是什么味道却没留下一点印象,不知道为为什么,我高兴不起来。一个月后,学校在通告栏里用一整张红纸发布了喜报,庆祝我校学生第一次在全县小学文竞赛中获二等奖。全班都拉我去看,我那篇作文竟然真的得了奖。我死活都不肯去,小利说我脸都红了。害羞吗?当然不是,谦虚吗?更不是。可是第二天的全校表彰会、我就躲不过去了,那次大会本来是表彰上学期的优秀学生的,没想到,最后是隆重给我颁发作文二等奖,我想找个地缝钻进去都来及。在全校师生面前,我捧着大红面的获奖证书、奖品,却低着头,像犯了错误。校长亲自给我颁奖之后,还宣布本学期每周一的全校升旗仪式由我来领队。不知怎的,我突然放声大哭。吴老师带着在台下拼命鼓掌。大家都很感动,觉得我是真情流露,是激动。可是谁也不会相信,我真不激动,而是莫名其妙地羞愧难当。我觉得那篇作文跟我一点关系也没有,可是每个字又的确是我写的。那种感觉,我怎么也说不清楚。(选自《小小说选刊》2015年第3期)

①我7岁上学就读书,一直读了80年,基本上没有间断,不能说对于读书没有一点经验。我所读的书,大概都是文、史、哲方面的,我的经验总结起来有四点: , , , 。 ②先说第一点。古今中外,积累起来的书真是多极了,浩如烟海。但是,书虽多,有永久价值的还是少数,我们要学会选择。可以把书分为三类,第一类是要精读的,第二类是可以泛读的,第三类是只供翻阅的。我们心里先有了这个数,就可以随着自己的专业选定一些需要的书来读。 ③读的时候先要解其言,这就是说,首先要懂得它的文字,它的文字就是它的语言。语言有中外之分,也有古今之别,这叫语言文字关。攻不破这道关,不知道关里边是些什么东西,只在关外指手画脚,那是不行的。当然,攻语言关,要先作许多准备,用许多工具,如字典和词典等工具书这类。
