    A projector. Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式 Step I Revision Ask the students to check their writings with each other. T: Good morning / afternoon, boys and girls! Please check your writings with each other first. Step II Warming up Ask the students to talk about the pictures then discuss the two questions on Page 136. T: Look at the first four pictures on Page 136 please. Work in pairs and talk about the four different jobs, including their duties and responsibilities. Sample dialogues: S1: The barbers are busy cutting hair for their customers. As barbers, in my opinion, they should have friendly personalities and fashionable oppearances. What’s more, they should have good cutting skills and are always ready to design various haircut styles. Only in this way can they satisfy the different customers. S2: Yes. Please look at Picture 2. A waitress is standing by the table waiting for the guests politely and we can see that she is making an obeisance by crossing one hand with the other before her chest. It’s important for her to keep a smile and be attentive in order to offer good service to the customers. S3: I agree. In the third picture the chef in the kitchen is showing up the dishes newly prepared by him with great satisfaction. In order to make every customer have a good appetite in his restaurant, he has to be smart and creative enough to make clean and delicious food. Can you imagine the scene when a customer sees a fly in the soup? S4: Aha, I see. Well, the accountant in the last picture is busy keeping accounts. She has to be very careful and honest in performing her official duties. She should be responsible for the financial affairs in the work unit and it’s her duty to always keep her hands clean. Offer some help as follows, if necessary. T: Well, from these pictures we can see that every day different people are doing different jobs and people in different fields have their own duties and responsibilities. Thanks to the hard work of people from all walks of life, our society has been making progress so rapidly. Do you agree? Well, can you think of any other jobs besides these? Ask the students to answer the other three questions on Page 136. T: OK, Let’s go on with some other questions of this part. You may talk with your partners first before we have a check five minutes later. S1: I know many other jobs such as teacher, doctor, nurse, manager, shop assistant, operator, driver, and so on. I would like to be a teacher when I grow up. I’m determined to devote myself to the basic education of our country and try to train as many teenagers for professionals as I can. If necessary, I’ll be glad to go to the mountainous areas to help the poor students there. I don’t know the exact number of jobs in the world and I guess there may be several thousands jobs altogether in the world. S2: Besides the jobs mentioned above, I also know some other jobs like engineer, conductor, professor, inventor, judge, adventurer, traveler, businessman, bookseller, scientist, captain. I would like to become an adventurer who leads a dangerous but exciting life and can travel around to see the world and make great discoveries for human beings. I guess maybe there are more than 10,000 different jobs in the world. S3: As far as I know there are many other jobs such as farmer, worker, doorkeeper, soldier, officer, guard, guide, film director, actor, actress, street cleaner, bank clerk and so on. I have always been dreaming of being an army officer like my father serving in the air force in Beijing. I hope one day I can also fly a plane in the blue sky wearing uniforms and do some research for the military purposes. In my imagination, there are maybe thousands of different jobs in the world. S4: There are many other jobs like instructor, writer, lawyer, detective, politician, musician, dancer, receptionist, moneylender, gymnasts, athlete, trainer, coach, policeman, postman. In the future I would like to become a great film director like Steven Spieberg who has created a lot of great works for us film fans. As to the last question, I think there are so many different jobs in the world that the total number may reach up to 20,000. T: Very good!I am glad to see that all of you have great ambitions and I sincerely hope one day your dreams will come true through your hard work. As for the last question, experts believe that there are about 40,000 different types of jobs in the world. So choosing the right one is a difficult job in itself. Step III Speaking T: Next, please look at part of the questionnaire the careers adviser gave James on Page 137. I’d like you to answer the questions and then discuss the answers with your partners. Show the slides of the questions and then get the students to work in pairs. T: Now, who’d like to begin the talk? Try to use the useful expressions in this lesson, please. S1: Let me try. I’m good at Chinese painting, handwriting, folk music because I love Chinese culture and have been making progress with the help of my teacher Mr. Lu. I’m also good at playing football and table tennis because I practise them almost every day and “Practice makes perfect. I’m not good at housework such as cooking dishes, washing clothes, cleaning the windows, sweeping the floors and dealing with waste because my parents always do everything for me and I have no chance to do it myself. I most enjoy surfing on the Internet because I can get a great deal of information from it and can make many friends by chatting on the QQ! I expect to be operating my own company and making a lot of money in five years’ time. From answering these questions I have learnt more about myself. I think I have to work hard because there are still many things for me to learn in order to achieve my ambition. My partner introduces many jobs to me such as chef, waiter, receptionist, shop assistant, travel guide and so on. I’m only interested in the job of the receptionist listed below. If I can’t start my own company, maybe I’ll try. S2: I’m good at playing the piano, the guitar and the violin because when I was very young, I began to learn it from my uncle, a music professor in Beijing. I’m also good at singing and dancing because they have something to do with music. I’m not good at communicating with others such as chatting online, discussing questions, giving advice, speaking in public and offering help to others because I always feel timid and ashamed when talking with others especially those of the opposite sex. I most enjoy staying alone in my room and doing whatever I like without being disturbed by the outside world. I expect to be designing fashionable dresses for some pop stars in five years. From the above questions I come to realize that I have to be more cheerful and open-minded in order to make my dream come true in society. My partner suggests that I can work as a worker, barber, typist, zookeeper or the Mother superior. I’m not interested in doing any of the listed jobs at all and I’m determined to be a designer in the near future. S3: I’m good at persuading others such as making comments and giving suggestions because I think I have a gift for logical reasoning which can easily talk people into doing whatever they should. I’m also good at playing cards, chess and video games because I often play against my brother in my spare time and I’ve learnt a lot from him. I’m not very good at speaking and writing English because I often have difficulty spelling some words and I don’t have a good knowledge of grammar. I’m not good at singing or dancing because I have a bad voice and a terrible sense of music. I’m not very good at cooking dishes because I’m not patient enough to prepare various food. I enjoy sleeping at weekends because as a senior three student, I have to work hard during the weekdays and a sound sleep can make me relaxed and energetic for the following week. I expect to be working as a careers adviser in five years’ time. Now I have learnt from these questions that I have known more about my strong points and weak points. I will work hard to improve my English a lot and make best use of my advantages. My partner thinks that I’m suitable to serve as a careers adviser, a teacher or a lawyer. I agree with my partner and I have no interest for the listed jobs. Step IV Reading & Speaking Ask the students to do some practice work as required on Page 267. T: Now there is little time left. Let’s deal with Reading and Speaking on Page 267. I’d like you to work in groups of four and talk about Exercise 1 first. Each of you should make some notes while talking. Ask some of the students to report their work to the class. T: Now, who would like to report your group’s work? S1: Besides the listed three ones, the other important things are: more holidays, good working conditions, good chances for promotion, wise leaders, many chances to go abroad, free meals, etc. S2: The things we consider important are: good housing conditions, more spare time, free trips every month, free flats, more human rights, more prize money, more gifts for birthdays or festivals, more safety measures and so on. T: Good! You all have good imaginations and I hope you can find such a good job in the near future. Now, do you know what an expectation means to a good job? Here is Frederick Herzberg, a famous psychologist. We will read the passage about his theory of motivation on Page 267 and then we will have a further discussion about his theory. Now, please begin. Ask the students to discuss each of the factors on Page 268. T: The passage mainly tells us about the two groups called the Hygiene Factors and the Motivation Factors and how useful they are. Do you agree? OK, Let’s look at the content of the factors listed in Exercise 3 and discuss what you think each factor means. Suggested answers: Factors meanings working conditions the present state of the things needed for working. eg. offices, computers, telephones, cars, air-conditioners etc. salary usually monthly payment for regular employment on a yearly basis i.e. how much money you get every month. status person’s legal, social, or professional position in relation to others i.e. your post or job in the company. security something that provides safety, freedom from danger or anxiety. eg. warning system, doorkeepers or other safety facilities in the company. relationships with other personnel particular connection, what one person or group has to do with another i.e. how you get on with others in the company. achievement something done successfully with effort and skills i.e. you have chances to succeed after your hard work. recognition knowing, being prepared to admit or acknowledge i.e. you are always admitted or rewarded after hard or successful work. responsibility being legally or morally liable for carrying out a duty i.e. you find the company trustworthy and you can rely on it. opportunities to advance good chances to move, put or help forward i.e. you have chances to get promoted for your good work in the company. growth development, increase in value, i.e. you can make progress while you are working in the company. T: Now, please look back at Question 1 and work out how similar your list is to Herzberg’s. Then tell your partners which are hygiene factors and which are motivation factors on your list. Ask the students to read the diagram and talk about it. T: Next, please look at the diagram on Page 268 and talk about what situations B and C would be. Look carefully and pay attention to the direction of the arrows. Share your decisions with your partners when you have finished. Check the answers. S1: I think as to situation B, employees have few complaints and are highly motivated. S2: In situation C, employees have a lot of complaints and are not highly motivated. T: Very good! So you have known much about the great theory of Herzberg and when you look for a job, I am sure you will do more research about the ten factors in the companies until you find the best one.

    The definition of the standard kilogram is almost entirely wrong. Getting that definition right is a challenge that has tried the patience and intelligence of scientists for decades.

    Scientists use just seven basic units to define all the other quantities we use — quantities such as speed or electric power. All of those basic units except the kilogram are themselves defined according to natural properties（属性）that are beyond human control.

    For example, the standard second (time) is defined as a specific number of vibration（振动）of a type of radiation sent out by atoms of a special metal. The standard metre (length), in turn, is defined as the length of the path light travels under certain conditions.

    Not so the kilogram. This orphan of the basic unit family is simply the mass of a small platinum-iridium alloy cylinder（铂—铱合金筒）locked away in a container maintained by the International Bureau of Weights & Measures in Sevres, France, near Paris. Official bodies around the world have copies of the cylinder.

    Embarrassingly, the last time the copies were brought to Sevres for a checkup in the 1980s, officials found that some copies had gained about 20 parts per billion in weight compared to the master cylinder since the previous checkup in the 1940s. This implies that the master cylinder itself may be an inconstant standard.

    Several efforts in several different countries are under way to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical quantities such as counting the actual number of atoms of a specific substance in a kilogram or the electromagnetic（电磁的）force that balances a kilogram mass against gravity. A project of the latter type at the laboratories in Gaithersburg, Md., hopes eventually to define mass by means of electrical units.

    So far, none of these redefinition projects has borne fruit. They require the very accuracy of measurement and control of experimental conditions. The slightest influence — even a tiny change in weather — can ruin results. You’ve got to hand it to scientists who are willing to devote many years to such painstaking — but extremely important — research.

     

    1. Compared with other basic units, the kilogram is ____.

        A. as accurate as other basic units        

    B. not universally accepted in the world

        C. not defined according to natural properties

        D. defined in the same way as other basic units

    2.The author introduced the examination of copies of a platinum-iridium alloy cylinder in the 1980s to indicate that ____.

        A. the causes of weight changes had been found

        B. such kind of checks had been carried out regularly

        C. the changes in weight challenged the definition of the kilogram

        D. the consequences of such changes were great in research

    3. According to the passage, to define the weight of mass by means of electrical units ____.

        A. is the only way to redefine the kilogram scientifically

        B. has been accepted as the only possible redefinition project

        C. is not as complicated as people understand

        D. has been considered by some scientists as a better approach

    4. Which of the following cannot be concluded from the passage?

    A. Scientists will achieve success in redefining the kilogram in the near future

    B. Some scientists are trying to redefine the kilogram according to basic physical quantities.

    C. The redefining of the standard kilogram is quite complicated and can be affected by a number of factors.

    D. A number of experiments are being carried out to redefine the kilogram.

    DU Lala is the hottest career coach in the country. The fictional character in the acclaimed novel Du La La’s Promotion shows others how to take the high road to success in a multinational company. But does her story describe a real or distorted picture of work life? The answer is as complicated as office life itself.
    Over one million copies of the book have been sold since its release in 2007. Go Lala Go!, a movie adaptation of the novel set to hit cinemas next weekend, has stirred up even more interest in the story. The film stars Xu Jinglei and Stanley Huang, but fans seem to be more excited about seeing the story unfold on the big screen.
    According to a recent sina.com survey, 45 percent of the 6,810 netizens polled said they have drawn career pointers from the novel. Other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating, seem to have been received with similar interest.
    “These books show me the life of white collars, and they teach me career rules and jargon that are not offered in class,” said Zhang Shanshan, a 22-year-old senior at Beijing Forestry University. Zhang says the competition, humor and office gossip in the book intrigued her. “I can’t wait to embark on my own career,” she said.
    The popularity of office novels does not surprise Chen Ning, a senior career consultant at Zhaopin.com. “Novels about office fights and struggles satisfy the psychological demands of an ordinary office worker,” Chen said. “The leading characters face great pressure, fierce competition and an uncertain future. This is what really happens in many readers’ daily life.”
    Li Ke, the author of Du Lala’s Promotion, has been stressing the significance of her fiction. “I want to provide real and useful common sense, knowledge and experience to office workers,” Li told the Qianjiang Evening News last year.
    Recent graduates say they have found the basic work principles highlighted in the novel to be instructive. “If these books had been published five years earlier, I might have avoided some problems,” said Xu Jun, an HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Company. “They often discuss basic office principles, which are relevant for staff working under the middle management level. They also help readers to see the importance of basic problem solving and organizational skills.”
    But some veteran employees warn that the novels are not always realistic. They say this is especially true of the characters. “The protagonists appear to be unbeatable,” said Hou Zhendong, an HR manager at General Electric. “Du Lala’s team leader quit in an irresponsible way; her boss is inept; and the staff around her is either stupid or overly-sophisticated. Du stands out in emergencies and makes all the right decisions. The truth is, real-life colleagues are not that polarized（截然对立）,” Hou said. “You seldom get to negotiate your salary with a big boss. And, most of the time, you make wrong decisions far more than you make correct ones.”
    The career principles in the books are also of limited use. “Most of the stories happen in Fortune 500 companies with a long history. Their cultures are well-established, and their rules are scientific,” Hou said. “But if you work for a small foreign company, or a local enterprise, some principles are useless.”
    Liu Rui, a project manager at IBM, suggests fans of these books focus on the little bits of wisdom they provide. “The novels give rookies（新手） some inspiration,” he said. “They emphasize the importance of observation, practice and self-examination. These tips are precious and universally true.”
    【小题1】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

    A．Recent graduates can learn a lot of useful career principles from the novel.
    B．The best novel shows readers how to be promoted in various companies.
    C．The book Go Lala Go! Sells very well.
    D．The movie adaptation of the novel will be a massive hit at the box-office in China.
    【小题2】What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．Du Lala’s story reflects the true office life.
    B．Go Lala Go! Enjoys more popularity than other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating.
    C．Some people argue that the story is a bit polarized.
    D．Both rookies and veteran employees are fond of Go Lala Go!.
    【小题3】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
    A．The Life of White Collars
    B．The Hottest Career Coach
    C．How to Promote in Company
    D．Go Lala Go! — Office Life Not All Fairytale Drama

    Mobile phones are an important business tool for farmers in rural areas. But they also put a valuable educational tool in their hands.
    The University of Illinois in the United States has a project called SAWBO—Scientific Animations Without Borders. It produces educational videos that can be downloaded to cell phones. The goal is to help people in developing countries improve their lives.
    One video shows farmers how to make a natural insecticide from neem seeds to prevent insect damage to crops. The process starts with sorting and drying the neem fruits. Then let the fruit dry in the sun for about three or four days, until they become brown. Using a mortar(碾槌) and stick, the fruits are slightly pounded to remove the shells from the fruits without breaking the seed inside.
    The videos use computer animation(动画). Some of the animated characters are a little funny looking-like a farmer with a long nose. But the subjects are serious, including a health video on preventing cholera(霍乱). Team member Francisco Seufferheld says the information in the videos is meant to be quickly understood. He says, “The information is digested in such a way that in two minutes, we can transmit a complex idea.”
    The researchers tested the seven-minute video on seven mobile phones. They wanted to see if people would share the video using Bluetooth wireless technology. With Bluetooth, files can be passed to a nearby phone even if neither phone is connected to the Internet. As a result, in one month, the video had spread to one hundred eighteen people in fifty different villages. “This is just incredible impact,” said Francisco Seufferheld.
    The team has made a few videos so far. These are available in a total of eighty languages, dialects and accents. Professor Barry Pittendrigh says there are plans for more videos later this year.
    【小题1】What is the text mainly about?

    A．A best-selling mobile phone
    B．A valuable educational project for farmers
    C．United States support for developing countries
    D．A new type of scientist –farmer relationship
    【小题2】The SAWBO program is introduced in order to ____.
    A．raise farmers’ standard of living
    B．do some research on mobile phones
    C．develop farmers’ practical skills
    D．help farmers prevent insect damage to corps
