I. Brief Statements Based on the Unit
The activities of this unit, including Warming-up, Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, center on the subject-news and the media, which are connected with our life closely. It provides the students an opportunity to learn the language in using it.
By talking about news and the media, the students get more knowledge about them-not only know about the important parts they play in learning about the world, but also the ways they are written and made. The students must be very interested in this subject. This way, they can learn the language points easily and freely. They will not only learn some useful words and phrases about news and the media, but also learn to express opinions.
Besides, the study of the Grammar-the Past Participle can help the students use the language more exactly. By finishing each task provided in the textbook and the workbook, the students' skills to use language can be well developed.
Ⅱ. Teaching Goals
1. Talk about news and the media.
2. Practise expressing opinions.
3. Learn about the Past Participle (l): used as Attribute and Predicative.
4. Write a comparison paragraph.
N. Background information 1. RADIO
In ancient times the only way that men could send messages from village to village was on foot. When men learned to use the horse, communication became much quicker.
However, compared to the modern world communication was still quite slow. Many parts of the world had no knowledge of events in other places. Later, the post was introduced and horse riders carried letters. This meant that communication was further improved. Horses drawn coaches could move people from town to town in quite a comfortable way. At the beginning of the last century the steam train was invented and for the first time really fast communication became possible. Not only could letters be sent easily from one part of a country to another, but travel was made easy, too. At about the same time, steam ships helped communication between countries. The invention of the telegraph in the middle of the last century further increased the speed at which messages could be sent. In this system electrical signals, in code, are sent along metal wires. These signals travel so fast that they could go nearly eight times round the world in one second. A special device is needed to send the code. At the other end another device is used in order to receive the code. By this method messages can be sent over distances of several hundred kilometers. With the invention of the telephone the human voice could be sent over long distances. Because of this the telephone system replaced the telegraph for quick communication over long distances. The telegraph is still used, however, by newspapers in order to send news and for other purposes too.
At the beginning of this century radio was invented and in a few years communication was again improved. The main difference between radio and telephone is that radio uses no electrical signals, which travel long distances along wires. Instead invisible waves, moving at the same speed as electrical signals, are used. A few years ago there were not many radio stations in the world. Today there are many hundreds of radio stations broadcasting in different languages and in all countries. The invisible radio waves can easily travel from one country to another. This means that listeners in one country can listen to programs broadcast from another country. In this way information travels from country to country. Radio is often used by policemen to communicate with one another. In addition, police forces in one country can communicate with those in other countries in order to catch criminals. Ships at sea use radio so that they know exactly where they are. Aeroplanes use radio for the same reason and this makes it easier for them to find their way from place to place.
In the modern world there are many methods of communication. As well as radio there is television, for example. This enables information in the form of a picture to be broadcast from one place to another. Radio is often used as part of a telegraph system where distances are very large. Of the many modern methods of communication, radio probably remains the most important.
2. How the Program is Broadcast?
We turn on the radio and a program comes to us from a broadcasting station miles and miles away. We know that words and music themselves haven't traveled all that distance through space, but something certainly is bringing the program from the station. what is this silent carrier?
The answer is radio waves. We cannot see radio waves or feel them or even hear them. In fact, nobody knows exactly what they are. But we do know that they are made by electricity, and we have learned how to use them.
At the broadcasting station people talk or sing, Instruments play, doors slam, and all of these make sound waves. The sound waves reach the microphone, and here they are changed into electricity. Then from a tall tower called the broadcasting aerial, electricity sends radio waves. The waves travel in every direction, and some of them reach our radio aerial. Now a wonderful thing happens. The radio waves start an electricity current in our aerial like the one that was first made in the broadcasting station. Finally, the loudspeaker in our set changes electricity into sound, and we hear the program.
Period1 Warming up &Listening
Teaching aims
1. To develop students’ listening ability by listening to the given passage.
2. To help students to get to know about the news media.
Teaching difficulties and stress;
(1) Knowing about the news media
(2) Trying to understand different kinds of news media are very important and helpful to our society.
Teaching procedures
Duty report
Step 1. Warming up (pair work)
Get students to have a discussion in pairs.
Topic: What are the media we often use in our daily life/
Ask students to list the news media on the blackboard to see which pair can find the most.(Internet, Radio, TV, Magazine, Newspaper)
Step2. Discussion (group work)
Ask students to have a discussion.
Topic: How will you try to get in touch with your friends and why?
Eg: Usually I get in touch with my friends by short message or by phone or by E-mail.
Step3. Discussion (group work)
Ask students to discuss the following topics;
(1) Which of the news media above is the most reliable? Why?
(2) How are the media above different from each other
(3) How do you know whether what you hear, see or read is true?
(4) Do you know how a newspaper is made? What about a magazine?
(5) What words will you need to talk about the news media?
Get students to work in groups of four to discuss the topic. Each group may choose one of the five topics and choose a representative to summarize opinions of the group and report them to the class.
Example answers:
(1) Various answers are possible. The students should give reasons for their opinions. Encourage them to think about how the news is presented, who writes it, and why the ness is published. The media are usually commercial and always biased. Major news organizations try to be as objective as possible, but it is not possible to achieve complete objectivity. The media mentioned in this activity are probably equally reliable: official websites or websites of major news agencies are edited in the same way as magazines, newspapers, and serious news shows on radio and TV. But we cannot believe everything we see on TV or read in magazines.
(2) Daily newspapers report the latest events as they happen, while magazines, which are typically monthly or weekly, provide “deeper” coverage and analysis and are often focused on a topic (eg. business, family life, student life, international affairs etc.). TV and radio are broadcast media, which report news to anyone who wants to hear. The Internet is a “narrowcast” medium, visited by individuals. Websites also offer “personalized” news, ie, the same website may look different to each user depending on location, interests and needs. Unlike other media, most websites are unedited and not for profit. Newspapers and magazines have editors and are financed by ads. TV and radio programmers are also edited, by they may report “lobe “ or by using talk show formats.
(3) It is becoming increasingly difficult to know what is true or not. Several factors complicate the situation: we get more news from more sources; the news is increasingly “ global”, ie we read about faraway events that are difficulty to verity, interpret and understand. The best way to deal with the “information slow” is to become a critical reader and to read more than one account of the same event. It is also important to understand that all news is “biased”; ie it is reported form a certain point of view and to a specific audience. That means that local media give greater importance to local events and that each news source interprets new events in the light of its own understanding and opinion of the overall situation.
(4) See Question 2 above for differences and similarities between newspapers and magazines. The students may also want to think about the mews-making process: who decides where to send reporters and why; who decides how the stories should be reported and why. Note that many newspapers and magazines rely on news agencies (eg Xinhua and Associated Press) for international news.
(5) Useful words include: reporter, news item, article, headline, front-page, ads, and editor, reliable, biased, objective.
Step 2 Listening
1) Pre-listening
Tell the students to read the instructions and questions before they listen to the tape. Ask them to try to guess what they will hear on the tape based on the questions.
2) Listening comprehensions
(1) Ask Ss just to listen to the whole passage but not write anything down.
(2) Let’s Ss listen to the tape again. This time ask them to write something important and useful down.
(3) Help the Ss find the answers and then check the answers.

In addition to words, one part of the Internet-the World Wide Web (often shortened to www．or the Web)-is especially interesting to people because it includes pictures and sounds．
The Internet began in the 1960s as a US Department of Defense Communication Network．Soon after, university researchers and professors began to use it to communicate with others in their fields．The Internet use really took off in the early 1990s with the arrival of the Web, which made it easier to find and view information online．Today, millions of people throughout the world are connected to the Internet．No one -no country, organization or company-is in charge of the Internet; its growing and its format and content is being changed by its users every day．
A computer that is connected to the Internet allows you to turn your home, community（社团）center, local library, or school into a place of unlimited information and communication．The Internet can help your family:

Ｂ
Americans are proud of their variety and individuality（个性），yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform（制服），whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general．Why are uniforms so popular in the USA﹖
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people uniforms look more professional than civilian（老百姓的）clothes．People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform．The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic（机械工）is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform﹖
Uniforms also have many practical benefits．They save on other clothes．They save laundry（洗衣店）bills．They are tax-deductible（可减税的）．They are often more comfortable and more long-lasting than civilian clothes．
Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent（随之而引发的）loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least．
Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems．Though they are long lasting, often their initial（最初的）expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes．
16. It is surprising that Americans who worship（崇尚）variety and individuality ＿＿＿＿．
A． still judge a man by his clothes
B． hold the uniform in such high regard
C． enjoy having a professional identity
D． will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform
17. People are used to thinking that a man in uniform ＿＿＿＿．
A． suggests quality work
B． discards his social identity
C． appears to be more practical
D． looks superior to a person in civilian clothes
18. The chief function of a uniform is to ＿＿＿＿．
A． provide practical benefits to the wearer
B． make the wearer catch the public eye
C． inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself
D． provide the wearer with a professional identity
19. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms ＿＿＿＿．
A． are usually helpful
B． have little or no individual freedom
C． tend to lose their individuality
D． enjoy greater popularity
20. The best title for this passage would be ＿＿＿＿．

B． The Importance of Wearing a Uniform
C． Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform
D． Advantages and Disadvantages of Wearing Uniforms
