I.Brief Statements Based on the Unit

The topic of this unit is about the human being’s 1ife

in the future．This unit is made up of warming

up，listening，speaking，pre-reading，reading，post-reading，language

study and integrating skills．These tasks will be

finished in five periods．

In the first period，we’ll do warming up，listening

and speaking to improve the student’s listening and

speaking abilities．At the same time．arouse the

students’interest in the topic of this unit．

In the second period，we’ll finish the task 0f

pre-reading,reading and post-reading．In post-reading，let

the students give free rein to their imagination by

discussing some questions．We’11 read a passage about

1ife in the future．It will tell us what the human

being’s life will be like in the future．In the meanwhile

we’ll learn some useful words and expressions．

The third period consists of two parts：Word study

and Grammar-Noun Clauses．

Through word study we’ll revise some words and

phrases，which are related to the topic of this unit．As

to the grammar：Noun clauses,we can master them by doing

more practical practice given in the textbook and

workbook．

The main purpose of the fourth period is to train the

students’reading and writing abilities by reading and

writing a short pas-sage about 1ife in the future．

In the last period,we’ll deal with the grammer in this

unit-Noun C1auses．

In a word,we can train the

students’listening,speaking,reading and writing

abilities by doing the exercises the textbook and the

workbook provide．

Ⅱ.Teaching Goals

1．Talk about life in the future．

2．Practise making predictions．

3．Learn about Noun Clauses(2)．

4．Write a definition paragraph．

Ⅲ．Teaching Time：Five periods：

Ⅳ．Background Information

1.World in the Future

Scientists think that wonderful things may come true

in the future．Future means a time that not yet come．It

can be a short time from now or a long time from

now．Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to

come true now．Others won’t come true,we think，until a

long time from now．Some,of course．may never come

true-but

who knows for sure?They may．What are some of the wonders

that may come true in the future?

Let’s go back to dry land and take a future journey

the other way--up instead of down．

Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the

Moon Camp．You walk around on the moon in s special moon

suit．You visit an observatory where a giant telescope

looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been

able to see from Earth．You go deep down into one of the

moon mines．

After you have visited the moon,you visit the Mars

Colony and the Venus Explo-ration Outpost．

Let’s go back to Earth．

In the far，far future，girls-and boys,too--may be

playing with dolls that look like the people of the

planets visited by our space-man．

To control or run all kinds of toys,boys and girls

may learn to use special ccmputers--machines that answer

questions and do arithmetic faster than you can think．

Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet

power,and a new thing to ride may be a small flying

saucer．Imagine a race between them!

There may be telepathy helmets that send thought

waves from your brain to that

of your friend miles away．You just think a thought and

your friend knows it!You can have secrets with each

other that nobody else can turn it on!

There will be other surprises in the future．How

would you like to have a robot

playmate?

Having robot playmates may not be so much fun as it

seems．But maybe a boy with a wrench and a screwdriver

can fix the robot so that it won’t be too perfect!

What about the food of the future? Scientists think

that much of it will be artificialmade in factories from

such surprising things as coal．1imestone。air and water．

You don’t think that ice-cream or cake or candy or

even bread and potatoes made out of these things will

taste very good．You may be wrong．These artificial things

will be blended so skillfully be food chemists that the

food of the future probably wi11 be delicious．It

probably will also be healthful be-cause life will be

put into it．

Scientists of the future will almost certainly find

other ways to make life last longer．They probably will

find cures for most diseases．Hospitals will probably

have“body banks”that can give you almost any new part

you need to keep on living．People of the future may live

to be a lot older than 100 years．

Are you wondering whether there’11 be television in

the future? There’ll almost certainly be wonderful

programs. Television screens probably wi11 be large and

flat，hanging on the wall or going across the four walls

of a room．People on the screen will look real as if

they were right in the room with you．What about highways

of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be

able to drive a car．Nobody will need to steer．Electric

signals will hold each car on the right road to get

wherever the“Driver”wants to go．And it probably will be

impossible for cars to smash together。Controllers that

won’t even have to be touched will make all speeding

cars miss each other or will put on the brakes．Driving

in a car will be as safe as being at home．

But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future

will be weather control，Cities may have giant plastic

domes over them to keep out snow，rain，or storms．

When you plan a picnic in a park。you won't have to

worry about rain．It will rain only when the“

weatherman”thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside

the city．All other days will be fair and warm．

The future should be a wonderful time in which to

live．But the time you are living in now was also“ a

wonderful future”to the people who lived 100 years ago．

2。Three Things That Will Change Your Life

Today our lives are changing faster than at any time

in history．Here we report on three important changes

that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the

future．

The cashless society Cash and bank-notes wi1l

disappear almost completely．They will be replaced by

smart cards--plastic cards with microchip

processors“loaded”

with some money．When we pay for goods．the retailer w1l

insert our smart card into a payment terminal and money

w．1l be transferred from our card to the retailer's

card．When all the money is used up，we will be able

to“re-load”it by inserting it into a telephone，dialing

our bank account and transferring money to the card from

the account．1f we want to transfer money from our card

to a bank ac-count．we will use the same method．Smart

cards will be able to hold several different currencies

at the same time．so if we go aboard．we will use our

smart cards in the same way．

Interactive telephones Human telephone operators

will be sharply replaced by talking computers．These

computers will recognize speech．ask us what information

we need，access the information from a database，and

convert it to speech．If we want to book a flight or

pay a bill by phone，we will interact with a talking

computer to do SO．Of course，this won't happen until all

the technology is

in place，but when it is we will soon get used to

interacting with computers in this way．Human telephone

operators will be used only for more complex operations

such as dealing with complaints or solving concrete

problems．

Intelligent cars Traffic congestion in cities will be

reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps

to find the quickest route to their destination and

avoid traffic jams．Congestion will also decrease when

electronic systems start changing motorists for driving

in cities．As soon as motorists have to pay to drive in

cities，they will stop Using their cars and use public

transport instead．

Speed control systems will be built into cars．These

systems will automatically regulate the speed of the car

to take account of traffic and weather conditions and

prevent accidents．It will be many years before these

changes bring results but when they do，there will be a

titanic improvement in road safety．

and spacious class-room with modern equipment such as

radios and computers．And we all live a happy life

today．We can get whatever we want．Do you know how did

people live in the past?

(One student stands up．)

S：When I was a child，my great-grandfather often told me

the stories of him in the past. He often got hungry and

didn’t have enough money to go to school and had no

chance…I think people live a miserable life in the past.

T：Yeah．People lived a hard in the past．With the

development of science and technology, people's life

has changed a lot．Now we all live happily. What do you

Teaching Procedures：

Step I Greetings and Lead-in

T：Good morning／afternoon，everyone.

Ss：Good morning／afternoon，teacher.

T：Sit down，please．Now we're having a class in a bight

and spacious class-room with modern equipment such as

radios and computers．And we all live a happy life

today．We can get whatever we want．Do you know how did

people live in the past?

(One student stands up．)

S：When I was a child，my great-grandfather often told me

the stories of him in the past. He often got hungry and

didn’t have enough money to go to school and had no

chance…I think people live a miserable life in the past.

T：Yeah．People lived a hard in the past．With the

development of science and technology, people's life

imagine life will be like in the future? Today we are

going to study Unit 6 Life in the future. (Bb: Unit 6

Life in the future)It will tell us what life will be

like in the future.

Step Ⅱ Warming up

T：Now let's first have a discussion about the future of

one of the areas in our books．Discuss them in groups of

four．After a while，I'1l ask one of you to re-

port the results．

T：Now please discuss some questions．(Show the picture

and questions on the screen．)

How will people travel in the future?

Where will they go? Why?

(Give the students another two minutes to discuss．)

T：Who’d like to tell me how people will travel in the

future and where they will

go and why?

(One Student puts up his hand．)

T：Oh，Li Jun，you have a try．

S：I think people will travel by using public

transport．Electric cars will be

traveling through the streets day and night．Anybody will

be able to stop one and take it．They can go wherever

they want．

S：I think people will travel by car，which doesn't burn

gas，but solar energy．In-

stead of wheels，the car needs a Cushion of air．Thus。it

can float in the air．You

can go wherever you want as long as you press a button

on the computer in the

car．What's more，it won't cause any pollution．

(And then ask some Students to re-port．)

How wi1l people communicate in the future?

S: People will communicate with each other with

computers, which are set in the watches.

Where will people work in the future?

What kind of jobs will they have?

S：People wil1 work at home．The only thing that people do

is to control the robots by pressing the buttons on t11e

computer and let them work for us．

How will people do business in the future?

What kind of money will they use?

S：By the year 2l00，shops will no longer exist．Computers

will have replaced them，and people will order goods from

home．Instead of paper money，they will use credit cards．

What languages will people speak in the future?

Will people still speak Chinese and Eng1ish?

S：Instead of any language，people Will use code to talk

with each other．If they use a language to communicate，I

think t11ey Will speak Chinese．Because our country will

be the strongest one．

What will schools be like in the future?

What subjects will people study?

S：Schools will be set up on the Internet．Students can

stay at home and use computers to study．We can also

down-load some information．We'll study social

sciences，natural sciences and so on．Schooling wi11 be

much more interesting and effective．

(After discussing all the questions，the teacher says the

following．)

T：In spite of all these changes，man in the future will

still have a lot in common with us．They wi1l have

thoughts and emotions similar to ours．Anyhow，they will

be human beings．

Step Ⅲ Listening

T：Now open your books at Page 42．Let's do some

Listening．First Part 1．You're going to listen to a

letter about Mekanika's life．Listen carefully and pay

attention to the year when she is living，the place where

she 1ives,the things that happened to the people on the

earth and the reason why she is writing you this

letter．Write down what you hear．At last I'll check the

answers with you．Is that clear?

Ss：Yes．

T：OK．Let's begin．

(Teacher plays the tape for the first time．Then plays

for the second time，during which time teacher may pause

for the students to write down the in-formation

．Finally teacher checks the answers in Part l with the

whole class．)

T：Next listen to Part 2 and do the two exercises in

them．

(Teacher lets the students go through the Exx in Part 2

and then plays the tape for the students．At last check

the answers．)

Step Ⅳ Speaking

T：NOW look at the picture in Speaking Part．There are two

girls in the picture．One girl is working on the

computer．The other is making a phone call．Can you find

anything different between them?

Ss：No．They are the same．Maybe they are twins．

T：No，they aren't twins．One of them is cloned．With the

development of technology，scientists will be able to

clone persons as well as animals．Suppose the year is

2089 and scientists have discovered how to

make“doubles”，ex-act copies of a person that can do

everything the original can do．Now work in groups of

four to discuss the question whether the new techno1ogy

should be used．First give your opinion and tell the

reason．Write it in your textbooks．After that make up a

short dialogue,

using the information in your books and the useful

expressions on the blackboard.

(Bb：It would be wonderful if…

It would be bad for…if…

It’s possible/impossible to predict…

No one can predict what／when…

Just imagine if…

We can only guess…)

(Teacher gives the students four minutes to prepare in

groups of four and then asks some groups to read their

dialogues before the class．)

Sample dialogue：

SA：With the development of science and techno1ogy，the

double would be made in the future．I think it would be a

good idea to have a double. Because we could use the

double to do the things we don't enjoy，for example, we

could let the double finish our homework．

SC：I agree with you．I would 1ike to have a double,

too，because I don't have time to do all the things I'd

like to do．For example，if I didn't have time to watch an

exciting football game, I would let the double watch it.

SB：I don't agree with you．I think having a double might

be dangerous because you don't know what the double

might do．For example，the double might steal what they

what they want or kill the person they hate.

SD：Yes，they might do something wrong. What's more，having

doubles would make people confused，because no one would

know who the double really was or how to treat it．For

example, the double wouldn’t have any parents and no one

would see to them.

SC：But having a double would be wonderful，because you

could let the double do whatever you want them to do．

SA：Having a double would also be good because the double

could attend an important meeting instead of you if you

were ill．

SD：But I think it would be bad for society if people had

doubles because they would make trouble for our society.

Step V Summary and Homework

T：Today we've done some listening and speaking and known

how to make pre- dictions．Besides，we've also learnt

some useful expressions on the black- board．After

class．write down the dialogue you made in your exercise

books and preview the reading passage on Page 43．

Step Ⅵ The Design of the Writing on the Blackboard

Unit 6 Life in the future

Teaching Procedures：

Step I Greetings and Revision

Greet the whole class as usual.

T：Yesterday we learnt a passage about life in the

future．Who can tell me what the future will be 1ike?

S：Let me try．In the future, we will travel by

car，taxi，bus or train that won't pollute the air any

more．We’ll buy things on the Internet instead of in the

shop．

And we’ll be able to enjoy a longer and healthier life…

Step Ⅱ Word Study

T：Very good．In the text．we also learnt some important

words and expressions．Now let’s have a dictation．Take

out a piece of paper and write them down on it．

(Teacher dictates the words and expressions learnt in

the last two periods.

Including forcast，trend．Urban consumer，tiny，customer,

cash，regularly．effort，and physician．After that，let the

students hand them in．)

T：OK．Now look at Language Study on Page 45．First look at

Ex．I in Word study．Read the sentences and find a word

from what we dicatated just now to complete each. You

are given five minutes to do it．Read first and then

complete the sentences according to the meaning of

them．Is that clear?

Ss：Yes．

T：OK．First do it by yourselves．Then discuss them in

pairs．After a while，I’ll ask some of you to say you’re

answers and give the Chinese meaning of each sentence．

(After a while，teacher checks their answers and corrects

the mistake if any．Teacher can give some explanations．)

Suggested answers：

1．forecast 你聽天氣預報了嗎? 明天天氣會怎么樣?

2．trend 在中國許多地方使用信用卡已成為一種趨勢。

3．urban 許多人想在都市工作而在農村生活。

4．consumers 根據中國法律，被廠家欺騙的顧客可以得到兩倍賠償。

5．customers 因特網有助于廠家和顧客保持聯系。

6．tiny 計算機越來越小，有一天我們會在脖子或手腕上帶上計算機。

7．cash 旅游時帶許多現金是不好的，你最好用銀行卡。

8．regularly 這兩位女孩以前定期見面,但自從其中一個搬到另一個省后．她們就不能見面了。

9. physician 內科醫師就是給病人看病開藥方的醫生。

lO.efforts 學習外語需要付出很大努力。

T：Well done．Now look at Ex2．Choose the correct phrase to

fill in each blank．First look at the phrases in the

box．Let’s revise the meanings of them together．(Students

say the Chinese meanings of the phrases together．) Now

you're given three minutes to finish it．

(After a while，teacher checks their answers.)

Suggested answers：

In general, in store, keep in touch with, lead to,

paying no attention to

T：Now read this passage again and try to continue the

story．Write an ending to the story．After a while，I'll

ask some of you to read out your story．

(After a while，ask some students to read out their own

ending to the story．)

Step Ⅲ Grammar

T：Thank you for your stories．Now please look at the

sentences on the blackboard．

(While the students are preparing their stories，the

teacher writes the following sentences on the

black-board and underlines the clauses with coloured

chalk．)

(Bb：1．Who bought the book is un-known?

2．They know that the habit may kill them．

3．All I can say is that he has always been good to me．)

T：Who can tell me the function of the clause in each

sentence? Any volunteers? OK．Wang Li，please．

S：In the first sentence，“who-clause” is used as the

Subject．“That-clause” in the second sentence is an

object clause while in the last sentence “that-clause”

is a predicative clause．

T：Is what she said right?

Ss：Yes．

T：Very good．In the Object Clause“that”is optional and

can be omitted．But in the Predicative and Subject

Clauses，“that”is necessary and can not be omitted．You

must remember that．Are you clear?

Ss：Yes．

T：OK．Look at the sentences on the screen and tell which

part the Noun Clause act as．

(Show the following on the screen．)

1．What life will be like in the future is difficult ot

predict．

2．They are careful about what they eat and exercise

regularly．

3．The schools of the future will proba-bly be quite

different from what they are today．

4．We can not be sure whether our dreams will come

true，but we can at least be hopeful that…

5．If we learn to accept change and appreciate what is

new and different, we will be well-prepared for whatever

the future may have in store．

(Teacher asks the students to do it one by one．)

S1：“What life will be like in the future” is used as the

subject．

S2：“What they eat and exercise regularly” is the object

of preposition“about”．

S3：“What they are today” is the object of preposition

“from”．

S4：“Whether our dreams will come true” is used as the

predicative．

S5：“What is new and different” is used as the object of

verb “appreciate” and

“whatever the future may have in store” serves as the

object of preposition “for”

Step Ⅳ Practice

T：OK．Look at Part 2 on Page 46．Use the expressions in

the right box to change your questions about the future

in the left box into Noun Clauses．You may do like this．

e.g．How we should use modern technology is a big

issue．But you should pay attention to the word order in

the Notm Clause．Normal word order is used in it. Do you

understand?

Ss：Yes．

(Give the students three minutes to practise and then

ask some of the students to read out their sentences．

One student, one sentence．)

Suggested answers：

1.I can’t imagine what the advantages of e-schools are．

2．Scientists have(not)found answers to the question why

there is no life on the moon.

3．The problem is how we should use modern technology．

4．We cannot be sure when we’ll be able to travel in

space．

5．They are worried about whether robots will be smarter

than people．

6．We cannot be sure whether the future will be better．

T：Now let’s do the exercise in Part 3．The main purpose

of this exercise is to

help you understand the differences between a Noun

Clause and an Attributive C1ause．Who’d like to tell me

the differences between them?

S：I’d Iike to try．A Noun Clause is used as a

subject，object，predicative or op-

positive in the main clause．An Attributive Clause serves

as an attribute to

some noun or pronoun in the main clause，and it is often

placed after this noun or pronoun．The Attributive Clause

is introduced by the relative pronouns and the relative

adverbs．

T：Very good．Sit down please．Now please read the

sentences in Part 3 first．Then identify the type of

clause in the sentences．If it is a Noun

C1ause，write“NC”；if it is an Attributive

C1ause，write“AC”．Are you clear?

Ss：Yes．

T：Now you are given three minutes to prepare it．

(Three minutes 1ater，ask five students to say their

answers one by one．)

Suggested answers：

1．We must make sure what is needed to open an online

store．

2．How we can develop transportation without polluting

the environment is still a problem．

3．We don’t know when we’ll have the medicine that can

cure any disease．

4．All I want to know is whose book you are reading．

5．Why it is important for us to become lifelong learners

is being discussed．

That is why it is important for us to be-come lifelong

learners．He has told me why it is important for us to

become lifelong learners．

Step V Summary and Homework

T：OK．Today we’ve reviewed the words and phrases we

learned in the last two periods．We’ve also learned the

Noun Clauses as the Subject，Object and Predicative．You

should pay attention to the word order in the Noun

Clause and the differences between a Noun Clause and an

Attributive Clause．After class，review the content we

learnt，especially the Attributive Clause and the Noun

Clause as the Subject，Objectand Predicative．Time is

up．That’s all for today．
