Unit 1 Breaking Records

Ｉ．单元教学目标

Ⅲ. 教材分析与教材重组

1. 教材分析

本单元的中心话题是“破记录”，所谈论的内容涉及多项打破吉尼斯世界纪录的故事。旨在通过单元教学，使学生能够根据一些已知事实内容，结合贴切的表达来反映人们挑战自我、持之以恒、坚定信心并最终达成目标的精神，并就此发表自己的观点和看法，能根据谈论过的话题写出条理清晰的短文。

1．1 Warming up 通过讨论4幅为人们所熟知的体育赛事图片，引发学生对于学习本单元

的兴趣和主观能动性，对于课本中将要涉及到的内容先产生浓厚的求知欲；教师可借此给学生进一步介绍有关吉尼斯世界记录的背景知识，同时布置自主学习的任务，即让学生自己通过网络及书籍查找申请该记录的程序和方法，鼓励多手段，多方法的自主性学习方式。1．2 Pre-reading这一部分是Reading的铺垫。结合图片与文字来介绍在欧美，乃至全世界都非常流行的特殊体育运动项目，如弹簧单高跷、翻筋斗、跳爆竹、呼拉圈等。通过这种方式我们即培养了学生快速理解介绍性文字的能力，又学习了如何用简单易懂的文字来做描述，同时也为阅读文章作好了背景知识的准备。

1．3 Reading讲述的是著名的吉尼斯世界记录保持者，美国人阿西里塔·福尔曼的故事。在这一部分当中，学生除了学习新的词汇、短语及句型结构外，主要接受阅读技巧的训练，即通过扫读及精读结合的方式训练“找、记细节”的能力；以及对文章中主人公取得成绩背后的精神支持的深层理解。另外，学生们通过对文章模拟性复述和典型段落的背诵，来输入丰富的表达方式，为写作中如何介绍人物或事件打下基础。

1．4 Comprehending （即Post-reading）

主要通过设置阅读理解性题目来辅助学生理解课文，达到训练目标。

1．5 Learning about language分词汇和语法两部分，即Discovering useful words and expressions 和Revising useful structures。其中，词汇部分的训练目标是根据语境在运用中掌握词汇；语法板块中我们主要从基础的角度给学生复习“主语”的用法，即有哪些成分可在句中充当主语，从而为更深层的语法结构复习，如主语从句、形式主语、强调句型、倒装结构、非谓语动词等作巩固，另外我们还补充了中学生写作中常见的影响语篇整体的主语表达缺陷问题，即让学生把一篇主语使用不当的文章改写，由此令其形成主语意识。

1．6 Using language 包含两个部分：Listening和Speaking。听力的内容仍然是围绕打破吉尼斯世界记录的话题，两名高中生谈论他们学校申请吉尼斯世界记录的事情。口语部分就如何表达“惊讶”给学生们提供了锻炼的平台，通过对于功能句的掌握及语音语调的变化来传达准确的意思。同时将这种表达能力在模拟真实的情景中发挥出来。

1．7 Reading and writing

有两个密切相关的板块，通过这两方面的内容，学生将完成读与写——输入与输出的训练过程。读的内容是有关体育赛事中的辉煌人物及吉尼斯世界记录保持者的焦点介绍，而写的内容是阅读的延伸，那就是让学生根据已提供的信息介绍，结合阅读内容将打破吉尼斯记录的事迹写成更充实完整的一篇报道。

1．8 Workbook 是本单元教材内容的延伸和补充，其内容将通过整合来辅助教学。

Step Ⅲ Warming Up

Get the students to talk about pictures in Warming up.

T: Well, let’s look at these pictures on Page 1 and talk about how these participants are feeling. Exultant(狂喜): Because Liu Xiang is the first Asian who won the hurdling, which belongs to

the track and field — the weakest item for Asian.

Calm: Participants are so strong in some certain spectator sports that they are confident in winning the golden medals.

Excitin g: Their hard and dull practicing has been rewarded.

T: Behind the applause, medals, flowers and praise, it is hard working, dull practicing, determination, and loneliness and persistent that assist them make the world records, keep them and break them. We admire them. However, there are other people who are fond of other unconventional maximal exercise (极限运动) also have their world records. Now do a listening practice on Page 51, and then answer my questions.

Step Ⅳ Discussion

In this part, in order to arouse students’interest, start with a competition with interesting questions.

T: Next, we are going to start with a contest. Now listen to the rules and relevant explanations attentively please! First of all, you will be divided into six (or less) groups and each group is supposed to answer five questions about the GWR. The group which provides the most correct answers will win the contest, and earn themselves a big reward. (Teacher had better prepare some presents to hand out for the winner group.)

After announcing the rules, ask a question before the contest, that is, the basic information about the GWR.

T: By the way, here is a question for all of you. It is well-known that GWR is Guinness World Records, but how much do you know about it? Its founder? Time of establishment? How does it work? How can be admitted...

Ss: We don’t know much about it, except that only the wonderful people and amazing behaviors hold the GWR.

T: OK. Next, look at the screen and have a basic idea of GWR. In 1951, Sir

Hugh Beaver, then the managing director of the Guinness Brewery, went on a

shooting party and became involved in an argument. Which was the fastest

game bird in Europe? The golden plover or the grouse? He realized then that a

book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular. He was right! Sir Hugh’s idea became reality when Norris and Ross Mc Whiter, who had been running a fact-finding agency in London, were commissioned to compile what became The Guinness Book of Records. The first edition was bound on August 27, 1955, and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas that year. Since then, Guinness World Records has become a household name and the global leader in world records. No other enterprise collects, confirms, accredits and presents world record data with the same investment in comprehensiveness and authenticity.

The book has gone on to become a record breaker in its own right. With sales of more than 100 million copies in 100 different countries and 37 languages, Guinness World Records is the world’s best ever selling copyright book!

Show the above material to students.

Ss: Wow that is attracting and exciting! So what are included then?

T: The GWR includes totally eight categories: human body, amazing feats, natural world, science & tech, arts & media, modern society, travel & transport, sports & games.

Ss: Then what are the procedures of applying for GWR?

T: Good questions! However, I won’t tell you right now. You can get the replies in many different ways, e.g. surfing the Internet, refer to encyclopedia, consult a professional book, or whatever. When the students are eager to know more about GWR, teacher should encourage them to find answers for themselves, which is very helpful for their learning skills.

T: Do remember look up for the answers and we gonna share it next period. Now, it is high time that we began the contest, are you ready?

Ss: Sure.

Ss make their choices. After that teacher should evaluate them and also make explanation to let Ss have further understanding of the issues that appear in the questions.

1) A record low temperature of -89.2°C (-128.6°F) was registered at V ostok, Antarctica, on July 21,

1983. That’s over 100°C below normal room temperature! They are studying Lake Vostok, which is submerged under 5 km (3 miles) of ice.

2) As of February 22, 2004, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King had taken $1 billion (￡536.7 million) at the international box office, achieving this record figure in just 9 weeks 4 days. Titanic (USA 1997) took the same amount in 11 weeks.

3）Levi Strauss Co. is the world’s biggest brandnamed clothing manufacturer, and sells under the Levis, Dockers, and Slates brands. The company’s sales totaled $6 billion at the end of November, 1999.

4) The New York City Transit has 468 stations in a network covering 370 km (230 miles). The railway first opened on October 27, 1904, and serves an estimated（估计的）5.1 million passengers per day, or 1.86 billion per year.

5) Born on October 23, 1940, Brazil, Pelé is the best soccer player ever. He scored more goals than anyone else, 1279 over a career spanning 21 years playing. Not only that, he was voted Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee in 1999.

6) The longest time a coin has been spun until coming to a complete rest is 19.37 seconds. It was accomplished by Britain’s Scott Day at Earl’s Court, London, UK, as part of BBC TV’s Tomorrow’s World roadshow. The record was first set in April 2004 with a spin of 16.7 seconds by Scotland’s Sean Farrell at the Edinburgh Science Festival.

7) The fastest time for opening 300 bottles of beer, by a team of three, is 1 min 47 sec, on the set of Guinness —Die Show Der Rekorde. The team was led by Alois Unertl, of the Unertl Brewery, in Munich, Germany, on April 2, 1999. In relay style, each team member opened 100 bottles and when finished, passed the specially constructed opener for the next team member to begin more bottle-opening.

8) On March 11, 2002, America’s Bruce Choy successfully styled hair using a record-breaking eight pairs of scissors in one hand, controlling each pair independently at his salon Flyingshears in San Francisco, California, USA.

Bruce began his career as a barber in 1969, and studied with Vidal Sassoon in London before moving to San Francisco in 1982. A decade later, he opened his own saloon, and perfected and patented —his “Flyingshears” technique, which he invented after seeing guitarist Stanley Jordan playing two guitars at once. “I thought, I’ve been cutting hair for 20 years and my left hand is always helping the right,” Bruce explains, “but I started to train the other hand... they became like one hand, and I can be perfect.”

Bruce, who’s been known as the “Vidal Sassoon-trained Edward Scissorhands”, beat the previous record of seven scissors held by Israel’s Danny Bar-Gil (professionally known as Danny Figaro), who set the record on January 12, 1998.

9) Rory Blackwell, aided by his double left-footed perpendicular percussion-pounder, three-tier, right-footed horizontal 22-pronged differential beater, and 12-outlet bellow-powered horn-blower, played 108 instruments simultaneously on May 27, 1985.

10) British mindbender Dominic O’Brien memorized on a single sighting a random sequence of 54 separate packs of cards all shuffled together (2,808 playing cards) at the basement bar of Simpson’s-In-The-Strand, London, UK, on May 1, 2002.

It took Dominic 11 hours 42 minutes to memorize the 54 packs, and reciting them in the exact sequence took 3 hours 30 minutes. Guinness World Record rules allow only 0.5% margin of

error (so no more than 14 errors), and memory — man Dominic completed the record with just eight errors — four mistakes and four prompted corrections.

11) In a 24-hour shearing marathon, New Zealand’s Alan MacDonald and Keith Wilson machine-sheared 2,220 sheep at Warkworth, Auckland Province, New Zealand. The “Shearathon” commenced at 1 pm on 25 June 1988 and concluded at 1 pm on 26 June 1988. Their efforts raised more than $10,000 (NZ) for the Home and Neighborhood Trust.

12) Despite weighing a massive 136 kg (300 lb), standing a mighty 2.4 m (8 ft) tall, and only having only two toes on each foot, the ostrich (Struthio camelus) can shoot across the African savannah at up to 72 kmph (45 mph), making it the fastest bird on land.

13) The world’s fussiest eater is the koala (Phas colarctos cinereus), which feeds exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. It browses on only six of the 500 species, sifting through 9 kg. (20 lb.) of leaves daily to find 0.5 kg. (1.3 lb.) to eat.

14) The world’s largest fish is the rare plankton feeding whale s hark (Rhincodon typus), which is found in the warmer areas of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The largest scientifically recorded example was 12.65 m (41 ft 6 in) long.

15) The loudest animal sounds are the low-frequency pulses made by blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and fin whales (B. physalus) when communicating with each other. They have been measured at up to 188 decibels.

16) The slowest fish are the sea horses (family Syngnathidas). Smaller species like the dwarf sea horse (Hippocampus zosterae), which is just 4.2 cm (1.7 in) in length, probably never attain speeds of more than 0.016 km/h (0.001 mph). The swimming ability of sea horses is severely limited by a rigid body structure and the only parts of the fish’s body which can be moved rapidly are the pectoral fins on either side of the back of the head and the dorsal fin along the back.

17) Diamond, an allotrope of carbon (C), has a value of 10 on Mohs’ scale of hardness. Diamonds have principally been mined in India, Brazil, South Africa, and Russia.

18) The Helper Superlight glasses, made by Seika Trading Company Ltd. of Osaka, Japan, and first sold in August 1998, weigh just 4.583 g (0.16 oz).They have lenses of seven different strengths, ranging from +1.00 to 4.00 diopters.

19) Hydrogen is the most common element in both the Universe and the Solar System. Over 90% of the Universe is comprised of hydrogen. Iron is the most common element on Earth, accounting for 36% of its mass.

20) Monaco has the most telephones per head of population, with 1,994 per 1,000. Monaco is the smallest independent state after the Vatican City. It has a population of 32,149, many of whom are foreigners attracted by high standards of living, a warm climate and a tax-free income. 21) CNN International can be seen in 212 countries and territories through a network of 23 satellites. Around 149 million households across the planet can tune in, making it the world’s largest TV network. CNN made its name as an important news source when it covered the 1981 assassinat ion attempt on President Reagan. Turner’s television operations were acquired in 1996 by Time Warner Inc and Turner became the company’s vice-chairman.

22) The Beatles have amassed the greatest sales for any group. All-time sales have been estimated by EMI at over one billion discs and tapes to date. In 2001, they had been certified for album sales of 163.5 million in the US alone. The band has numerous other world records, including that for most recorded song —Lennon and McCartney’s “Yesterday” had 1,600versions

recorded between 1965 and January 1, 1986. Also, their album titled 1, released on November 13, 2000, sold 13.5 million copies around the world in its first month, making it the fastest —selling album.

23) She’s not only the most famous lady in America, she’s also the heaviest! Weighing in at a staggering 24,635 tonnes (54.31 million lb), Lady Liberty, ei the Statue of Liberty, is officially named “Liberty Lighting the World” and was a gift from France to the USA commemorating liberty and friendship. Construction of the statue began in France in 1875, and after being completed in July 1884, it arrived in New York a year later in 350 individual pieces packed into 214 crates.

24) On average, the New York Times is read by 1,094,000 people on weekdays, and by 1,650,000 on Sundays. The owner of the paper, The New York Times Co, has no trouble getting its message out as it also owns the Boston Globe, 18 regional daily newspapers, eight television stations, two radio stations, and a number of magazines. The record-breaking edition of the newspaper, published on September 14, 1987, had a staggering 1,612 pages!

25) The Kobe（神户）earthquake of January 1995 resulted in overall losses of $100 billion (?63.04 billion), making it the costliest natural disaster to befall any one country.

More than six years after the earthquake that caused such devastation, there is little sign of life in Kobe returning to normal. With such enormous damage to people and property, it was inevitable that life in the region would be changed forever. Many people must now pay two mortgages — on the homes they currently own and the ones they lost in the quake. Earthquakes start deep down in the Earth’s crust, where stress builds up along fault lines (such as the San Andreas Fault in northern California). When enough stress builds up, these huge plates of rock crash together, releasing vast amounts of energy. This energy causes the Earth to shake. The severity depends both on whether the plates have moved horizontally or vertically, and on the strength or magnitude of the movement. This magnitude is measured on the Richter scale, invented by seismologist Charles Richter in 1935.

26) According to IATA, the German carrier Lufthansa（汉莎航空）is the biggest carrier of international passengers. In 2001 the airline carried 29.1 million passengers to and from destinations outside of Germany on regular scheduled flights.

27) The Airbus A380, which was launched in December 2000 and is expected to enter service by

2007, will have a wingspan of 79.8 m (261 ft 10 in) and a length of 73 m (239 ft 6 in). It will be able to carry 555 passengers in considerable comfort and will have a maximum takeoff weight of 560 tonnes.

Although there are Boeing 747-400s that can carry more passengers, the A380 has 49% more floor space, allowing for larger seats and facilities such as casinos, bars, and gyms. Once completed, it will be the world’s largest aircraft in active service, bigger even than the mammoth Ukrainian Anotov An — 124 cargo carrier. The aircraft will make its first flight in 2004, followed by the entry into commercial service in 2006.

28) By December 2000, more than 24,986,607 Toyota Corollas had been produced worldwide. The Corolla was first produced in 1966 and was introduced to the US in 1968 as a two-door subcompact car. By 1970 the Corolla was the second best selling import in the US and by 1988, 10 million had been sold in that country alone. By 1997 the 20 millionth Corolla rolled off the production lines. In the decades since its introduction the Corolla has built up an enviable reputation for reliability.

29) The longest-ever reported traffic jam stretched 176 km. (109 miles) from Lyon towards Paris, France, on February 16, 1980. A record jam of 18 million cars crawling bumper-to-bumper was reported on the East-West German border on April 12, 1990.

30) Disney World, located 32 km (20 miles) southwest of Orlando, Florida, USA, covers an area

of 12,140 hectares (30,000 acres), It was opened on Oct 1, 1971, and cost an estimated $400 million to develop.

The company Guinness World Records does not sponsor authorizes or endorses this site. Guinness World Records and other terms are registered trademarks. All requests about Guinness World Records should be made by filling the appropriate form at https://www.docsj.com/doc/df6165527.html,. Step Ⅱ Pre-reading

First ask the students to match the pictures with teacher’s introduction! Show the introductory words and corresponding pictures to the students one by one.

1. A hula hoop is a ring made of wood or plastic, which is used for exercise and fun in gym or any playground.

Were you one of those kids who could not resist hollering? Here’s how to use one.

Steps:a. Take hold of the hula hoop.

b. Lower it down to about ankle level.

c. Step into it (with both feet).

d. Bring it up to just below your waist.

e. Hold it with both hands and pull it forward so that it’s resting against your back.

f. With both hands, fling the hoop to the left so that its inner edge rolls in a circle around

your body. Do this a few times so that you get the feel of it.

g. Leave the hula hoop on the ground for a few minutes and practice your hip movements:

Leaving your feet firmly planted about shoulder width apart, circle your pelvis (yes, just

like Elvis!): left, back, right, forward. Do this a few times till you get the feel of it.

h. Put the movements together: As you fling the hoop to the left, bring your hips left to

meet the hoop and then rotate them back and to the right and forward so that your hips

are following the rotation of the hoop.

i. Keep the hoop going around your hips as long as you can. When it falls to the ground (as

it inevitably will!) pick it up and try again.

j. Once you’ve mastered the basic motion, see how far you can walk without dropping the

hoop.

2. Pogo stick jumping:

A pogo stick is a device, usually considered a children’s toy, used for hopping up and down. It was invented by Joseph Winston Herbert Hopkins in the 1820s. It consists of a pole with a T-bar handle at one end, and spring-loaded footpads on the other.

The pole juts down some distance below the footpads and has a rubber cover at the bottom end for traction. The operator places his feet on the footpads while balancing on the pole, then jumps or presses down on the footpads to compress the spring. When the spring has been fully compressed, the operator lifts his weight aided by the recoil of the spring and the pogo-stick; and hops several inches or even feet into the air. This process is repeated to create a hopping action. The pogo stick can be steered, with some difficulty, by shiftin g one’s weight; and becomes an interesting form of locomotion.

3. Doing jumping jacks— is a physical exercise performed by jumping to a position with the legs spread wide and the hands touching overhead and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides.

4. Somersaulting —an acrobatic stunt in which the feet roll over the head (either forward or backward) and return, also called somerset; also called regionally tumbleset.

5. Standing on a Swiss ball —also known as exercise balls, gym balls, sports balls, fit balls,

therapy balls or body balls — are used in physical therapy and exercise. They are elastic rubber balls with a diameter of usually 55 to 85 cm (22 to 34 inches).

A primary benefit of exercising with an exercise ball versus floor exercises is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to keep balanced on the exercise ball, and over time the muscles used to keep in balance on the Swiss ball become stronger. Most frequently, it is the core body muscles—the abdominal muscles and back muscles—that are the focus of exercise ball fitness programs.

Using an exercise ball as part of a fitness program can include a wide range of difficulty levels, each requiring support from the back and stomach muscles that help firm up the trunk muscles in the body. Exercise balls are commonly used as part of a physical therapy program for individuals with low back pain.

Examples of uses of the exercise ball include:

— Developing overall control and strength of the core body muscles

— Increasing lower back mobility

— Increasing abdominal and back muscle strength

— Improving balance and stability

— Learning proper body mechanics and posture while lifting objects

The exercise ball can also be used as a substitute for a chair (e.g. an office chair), which requires the abdominal and back muscles to work — as well as proper posture — while sitting in order to stay on the ball.

6. Doing lunges — A sudden forward movement or plunge.

Key: (A)—6 (B)—1 (C)—5 (D)—2 (E)—4 (F)—3

Guides the students to talk about these activities according to the questions on Page1.

Look at the pictures and go through the new wording of different activities. Ask Ss to match the pictures and answer the following questions.

1.Would you consider each activity to be a serious sport?

2.Which activities would you like to try?

3.Would you need to be fit to do any of them?

大思教育·英语课本倒背如流特训班 课文原文（高中·选修七） Unit 1 Living well Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am “one in a million.”In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t r un or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don’t look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who can not see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer

人教版高中英语选修9课文译文

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！ 然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢？这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教，16岁时，他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师，住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初，阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出，人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性，并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时，他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过，他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候，他开始有了这样的认识：他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具，而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起，阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候，阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候，他就会进入自己的内心深处，与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中，阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上，他常穿着一件T恤衫，后背上有斯里琴摩的名言： “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……

《中国小说欣赏》教案教学设计(人教版高二选修)

《中国小说欣赏》教案教学设计(人教版高二选 修) 单元目标 了解文言笔记体“志怪小说”和白话章回体“神魔小说”的特点、表现手法和表达技巧，掌握有关文学常识。培养学生的联想和想象能力。 【重点难点】 了解中国古代神鬼小说的两种类型和崇“奇”贵“幻”的艺术手法；分析人物形象，把握人物性格特点，理解小说的主题应为单元学习的重点。而学生用现代观念对小说的审视，以及两篇作品在艺术手法上的不同应为学习的难点。 【主要内容概述】 本单元为中国古代神鬼小说，选取了《西游记》和《聊斋志异》两部作品，它们分别代表了古代神鬼小说的两种类型，学习本单元要注意比较两部作品在内容和艺术上的相同及不同。 1、《西游记》产生于十六世纪的中国明朝嘉靖公元（1522—1566)时期，距今已四百多年了。作者吴承恩，字汝忠，号射阳居士，《西游记》是吴承恩中年时期写成初稿，后

来经过润饰而成的。他在前代多年积累下来并在民间流传的有关唐僧取经的文学作品和故事的基础上进行艺术再创造，并且把原来的以唐僧取经为主的故事，改为孙悟空为主的战天斗地史。 孙悟空是全书中最光辉的形象。“大闹天宫”突出他热爱自由、勇于反抗的精神“西天取经”表现他见恶必除、除恶必尽的精神。孙悟空大闹天宫失败后，经过五行山下五百年的镇压，被唐僧放出，同往西天。他已不再是一个叛逆者的形象，而是一个头戴紧箍，身穿虎皮裙，专为人间解除魔难的英雄。在重重困难之前顽强不屈，随机应机，就是镇魔者孙悟空的主要特征。 2、《聊斋志异》是蒲松龄的代表作，在他40岁左右已基本完成，此后不断有所增补和修改。“聊斋”是他的书屋名称，“志”是记述的意思，“异”指奇异的故事。 从题材内容来看，《聊斋志异》中的作品大致可分为以下五类： 第一类，是反映社会黑暗，揭露和抨击封建统治阶级压迫、残害人民罪行的作品，如《促织》、《红玉》、《梦狼》、《梅女》、《续黄粱》、《窦氏》等； 第二类，是反对封建婚姻，批判封建礼教，歌颂青年男女纯真的爱情和争取自由幸福而斗争的作品，如《婴宁》、《青

A navigator is the person onboard a ship responsible for the navigation of the vessel. On aircraft, the position may also be referred to as a flight officer. The navigator's responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the captain (or pilot) while en route, and ensuring that hazards or obstacles are avoided. What is exploration? Exploration is the act of searching or traveling for the purpose of discovery, e.g. of unknown regions, including space (space exploration), or oil, gas, coal, ores, water (also known as prospecting), or information. Exploration has existed as long as human beings, but its peak is seen as being during the Age of Exploration when European navigators travelled around the world. In scientific research, exploration is one of three purposes of research (the other two being description and explanation). Exploration is the attempt to develop an initial, rough understanding of some phenomenon. ■Warming up by talking about Zheng He's Seve n V oyages In July 11, 1405, the eunuch Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty royal court set out on his first overseas voyage.

1.选修九Unit1 Breaking records-Reading打破记录 "THE ROAD IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF YOU"“路永在前方” Ashrita Furman is a sportsman who likes the challenge of breaking Guinness records. 阿什里塔·弗曼是一位热 衷挑战并想争创吉尼斯世界纪录的运动员。Over the last 25 years, he has broken approximately 93 Guinness records. 在过去的25年中，他大约已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录。More than twenty of these he still holds, including the record for having the most records. 至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。But these records are not made in any conventional sport like swimming or soccer. Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places. 但是这些纪录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什里塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想象力的运动项目中打破的。 Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America. 最近，阿什里塔完成了他的梦想：在所有的七大洲中都破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上，完成这些活动需要强大的力量、健康的体格和坚定的决心。 Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. 想想吧，你一边走路一边还要把满满一瓶牛奶定在头上，你的脖子需要有多好的适应力。You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head. 你可以停下来休息或者吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在你的头顶上。While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. 当阿什里塔站在高75公分的瑞 士气球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to
