Ⅱ.Teaching Time:
Four periods
Ⅲ.Background Information:
1.Healthy diet
Most people,young or old,don't know how to plan a healthy diet.Some people eat too much,and some eat too little.Many people don't eat breakfast at all except for a cup of coffee,and most people eat a very heavy and greasy dinner.One important factor in a healthy diet is balance.A balanced diet contains enough amounts of food for the three meals of a day and a variety of foods such as vegetables,fruits,eggs,milk,cereals(谷類食品)and meat.For breakfast,which starts you off on a long day's work,you need enough food to provide you with enough energy.Lunch is equally important.If you don't store enough energy at lunchtime for a long afternoon of work,you will easily feel tired.But after dinner,normally you relax yourself and don't need much energy,so it's preferable to have a light dinner.Moreover,varieties of food give you different kinds of nutrients your body needs.If your diet lacks variety,you are bound to be deficient in nutrition.Your diet is essential to your health.If you often feel tired or fall sick,it's likely that you don't have a balanced diet.
2.Fast food
It's Saturday afternoon and you are downtown with your friends.You've been shopping all morning and you're hungry!But where are you going to eat?There's a good chance that you'll go to a fast food restaurant like Pizza Hut,Burger King or Wendy's.The biggest problem is choosing one because there are so many.
In the last thirty years fast food has become a major part of our diets.Fast food is cheap,easy to find and easy to eat.You can even eat a burger while you are driving.Try doing that with a bowl of spaghetti(意大利面條)!Families stop at Pizza Hut on the way home from a day trip.Young people meet at McDonald's for a burger at lunchtime.Busy office workers buy nice sandwiches at Subway(賽百味三明治店).It's so quick and easy.
But is fast food healthy?Richard Benton is a nutritionist and he says that fast food can be healthy food."Most fast food restaurants have healthy choices like salads and thin chicken sandwiches,"he says."Fast food is OK as long as you don't eat too much of it."
People who do eat too much fast food can have health problems.In the United states,300 000 people a year die from illness related to obesity(肥胖癥).Twenty percent of children in the United States are overweight.The problem has spread as Western fast food has become popular in countries like China,India and Japan.Five to ten percent of Chinese children are now overweight.
Also,some fast foods have a lot of fat and sugar.Some health experts believe that high-fat and high-sugar foods change children's behavior.A recent study in Japan found that badly behaved children ate more fast food than well-behaved children.
The good news is that fast food is changing.It is becoming healthier.Thai,Turkish(土耳其的),Japanese and Filipino fast food is becoming popular in the United States.You can have a quick snack in Elephant Jump(Thai),Jollibee(Filipino)or Yoshinoya(Japanese)if you don't want a pizza.

T:OK.Now please read the reading material again.This time you may read slowly.Pay attention to some detailed information,then answer the following questions on the screen.
(Show the questionnaire on the screen.Teacher goes among the students and explains some problems which students may meet with.After four or five minutes,teacher deals with the questions with the whole class.)
A Questionnaire
1.What does the word"green"mean in the text above?What about the word "fuel"?Can you find any other words used in the same way?
2.The text gives examples of how people make choices about what they eat.List the examples and the reasons why people eat or don't eat certain kinds of food.
3.How have our eating habits changed?Why?Try to think of as many examples and reasons as possible.
4.Why do people go to fast food restaurants?
5.Why is it not good for you to eat too much sugar or fat?
6.Why are crash diets and supplements so popular?
7.What can we do to keep a balanced diet?
Suggested answers:
1.Here"green"means "unpolluted,unharmful and good for people's health".There are some other words used in the same way,such as nutrients,carbohydrates,energy.
Here"fuel"means"all the things we eat for our bodies".It can help keep our body functioning and fighting disease.There are some other words used in the same way,such as eco-foods,organic vegetables.
2.Many people today make choices about their eating habits based on what they believe.Some people are vegetarians,because they believe it is healthier not to eat meat or because they do not think we should kill animals for food.Some people are vegans,because they will not eat any animal products at all,not even milk or eggs.Others make choices based on how the products are grown or made.For example,they would like to eat eco-foods which are made by using green and clean ways or organic vegetables which are grown without chemicals.
3.Our eating habits have changed a lot in the past several decades.People have experienced the processes from having no enough food to having enough food,and later from having enough food to having better food.Now people buy and eat something,we not only think about if the food will give us the nutrients we need,but also if the food belongs to eco-foods.
4.Because it is very convenient for people to go to fast food restaurants.So it can save time for people to work.
5.Because if people eat too much sugar and fat,they put on weight very easily and some of them may have bad teeth.
6.Because people want to be smarter,healthier,in particular,young people want to be more beautiful.Crash diets and supplements go with the need of the times.
7.Maybe if we buy and eat good and nutrient foods from all the food groups in the right amounts,and eat less fat and sugar and take more exercise,we can keep a balanced diet.
T:OK.Your answers are all reasonable.In fact,we'd better pay attention to keeping a balanced diet in our daily life.In other words,we should develop healthy eating habits,so that we can keep up with the high pace of modern life.
Step Ⅳ. Summary and Homework
T:In this class,we've read a passage about "We are what we eat".We've learned a lot from it and we know developing healthy eating habits is very important.At the same time we've also learned some useful phrases.After class,read the passage again and again until you can recite some sentences.What's more,don't forget to preview"word study and grammar"in the next period.Well,that's all for today.Class is over.

Ss:Yes/No.
T:Here is a letter.Please read it.
(Show the following letter on the screen.)
Dear Marty,
I've got a problem and as I don't know what to do I thought I'd write to you and ask for your advice.
I've been working at a meat factory for about two months now.It's a part-time job,so I only work in the evening.I've recently noticed that one of my workmates is stealing.From time to time,I notice that he puts a piece of meat down his trousers just before he leaves the factory.Now the manager has found that things are missing.He says that all this happened after I started work.
What should I do?Please tell me how I can solve this problem.I'd like to hear your advice.
Best wishes,
John
(After two minutes,teacher says the following.)
T:OK.Now stop here,please.Do you know how to solve the problem?Of course,different people have different ideas.Here are some advice.Let's look at them together.
(Show the following on the screen.Teacher begins to deal with them with the students.)
John should tell that workmate he knows what he is doing.
John ought to go to the manager and tell him who is stealing meat.
John shouldn't wait any longer.He should have reported that workmate to the manager as soon as he found out the workmate was stealing.
Jonh had better check his bag every evening before going home.Because that man is a clever thief and he might put some meat in John's bag,hoping John will be caught and called a thief.
(After that teacher says the following.)
T:Now let's go back to the text.Look at part 2.You're given several minutes to read these letters.After that write down four pieces of advice for each letter.Of course,you'd better use"should(not),ought(not)to,had better(not)."First do them by yourself.Then you can check each other.Is that clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Please do them.
(Teacher goes among the students,then picks out several students to read aloud their advice for each letter.)
Step Ⅴ. Summary and Homework
T:OK.In this class,we've reviewed the new words we learned.In particular,we have learned the usage of modal verbs-had better,should,ought to and their negative forms.After class,do more exercises to master them.Time is up.That's all for today.See you next time.

一、異域風(fēng)情
1.Change your diet for the better
If we could eat anything we want and never get fat,that would be great.The problem is we can't.Uncontrolled eating can lead to weight gain and cause problems.To live a healthier life,we must eat low-fat food and increase the amount of fruit and vegetables in our diets.These diet changes are easy to make and are most rewarding.
Dieting doesn't mean we have to stop eating.We just need to change our choices.Substituting chicken breast for fatty meats like beef and pork can do wonders for our health.Chicken is full of protein and has much less fat.Eating lots of fruit and vegetables cleans our bodies of bad chemicals that cause cancer.So,eating a mango a day is good for us.We just can't eat ten a day,or all that sugar will turn into fat in our bodies.These small changes can make a great difference and help us to develop a healthy life style.
2.Food culture
Over centuries of independent development,various cultures of the world have created radically different diets.What is standard or taken for granted in one area may be considered unhealthy or even decadent in another.Many times the history and geography of a particular place,as well as the native plant and animal life,are thought to have played a major role in the development of diet.
One example of a historical influence is the Japanese diet in which meat is traditionally considered unclean.This is attributed to the influence of Buddhism and proved itself in hundreds of years of dependence on fish and bean curd as sources of protein.Incidentally,it is now known that this type of diet is beneficial to cardiovascular health.
As for the geographical influence on diet,the cuisines of southern China that depend on stirfrying are said to have developed because of a lack of fuel.Due to geographical environment,only quickburning fuels such as small tinder were available.This made slower cooking processes such as baking unfeasible.
Finally,the most obvious influence on diet is the native plants and animals in any given place.Although in modern times,non-native foods have been made available to us,historically this was impossible.If corn was available,you ate corn;if fish was plentiful,you ate fish.
Now that you have begun thinking about the diversity of diets around the world,do you have any new insights into the standard dirt of your native land?And aren't you more curious about trying foreign dishes?

三、詞語(yǔ)辨析
1.pain,ache,hurt
三詞都可表示"疼痛"，但pain常作名詞，有時(shí)也作動(dòng)詞，可指一般的疼痛。ache常作動(dòng)詞，指局部較持久的疼痛，是隱痛，作名詞常出現(xiàn)在復(fù)合詞中。hurt只作動(dòng)詞，常指精神、感情傷害，也指肉體上疼痛。如：
I have pains(a pain/pain)in the arm.
我手臂痛。
His head aches when the weather is hot.
天氣一熱，他就頭疼。
I was hurt at his words.
我對(duì)他的話感到不快。
Does your leg still hurt?
你的腿還疼嗎？
2.a bit,a little
(1)a bit和a little在肯定句中修飾動(dòng)詞、形容詞、副詞及其比較級(jí)，可以換用。表示"一點(diǎn)兒"。如：
The speaker spoke up a bit/a little so as to make himself heard more clearly.
演講者把嗓音提高一點(diǎn)，以便使別人聽(tīng)得清楚。
(2)a bit 和a little在否定句中，意思正好相反。
not a bit=not at all.
not a little=very much.
e.g.I'm not a bit tired.
我一點(diǎn)也不累。
I'm not a little tired.
我非常累。
(3)a little可直接作名詞的定語(yǔ)，而a bit則要在后面加of構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)才能作定語(yǔ)，二者都只能修飾不可數(shù)名詞。如：
There's only a little/a bit of food left for lunch.
午餐只剩一點(diǎn)兒食品了。
注意：a bit of的復(fù)數(shù)是bits of，而a little不能變復(fù)數(shù)。
3.in future,in the future,for the future
(1)in future=from now on"從今以后"，指從說(shuō)話時(shí)開(kāi)始的全部將來(lái)時(shí)間。
e.g.Be more careful in future.
今后要多加小心。
You'd better not go out alone in future.
你今后最好不要單獨(dú)出去。
Don't make such mistakes again in future.
今后這樣的錯(cuò)誤不應(yīng)再出現(xiàn)。
(2)in the future"將來(lái)、未來(lái)"指將來(lái)的某一時(shí)間。
e.g.No one knows what will happen in the future.
誰(shuí)也不知道將來(lái)會(huì)發(fā)生什么事情。
What do you want to be in the future?
你將來(lái)做個(gè)什么樣的人？
(3)for the future意為"為將來(lái)"。
e.g.We must make a plan for the future.
我們得為未來(lái)制定一個(gè)計(jì)劃。
4.too much,much too
(1)too much"太多"之意，可以作形容詞，修飾不可數(shù)名詞，也可作副詞，修飾動(dòng)詞。
e.g.There is too much rain here in spring.
春天這里的雨水太多。
She talked too much at the meeting.
她在會(huì)上講得太多了。
(2)much too"簡(jiǎn)直太，過(guò)于"，只能作副詞，用來(lái)修飾形容詞或別的副詞，不能修飾動(dòng)詞。
e.g.This book is much too difficult for me.
這本書對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)簡(jiǎn)直太難了。
The old man walks much too slowly.
那位老人走得非常慢。
四、能力訓(xùn)練
(一)根據(jù)句中所給漢語(yǔ)完成下列各句，每空一詞。

答案：not to think about;any more

答案：Once;lose weight
3.You __________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________(今后更加小心).
答案:should be more careful in future

答案：nutritious food;refuel now and then
(二)易錯(cuò)題練習(xí)
1.You must be strict with yourself__________.
A.in the past B.in the future
C.ever since now D.in future
簡(jiǎn)析：選D。因in future意為"今后"，相當(dāng)于from now on,in the future意為"將來(lái)、未來(lái)"。
2.In your homework exercise you made__________twenty spelling mistakes.
A.plenty of B.as many as
C.so many as D.a lot of
簡(jiǎn)析：選B。如題中無(wú)twenty，則選A、D。
3.She was not__________frightened;in fact,she was nearly frightened to death.
A.a bit B.at all
C.a little D.much
簡(jiǎn)析：選C。因在肯定句中，a bit,a little都有"有點(diǎn)"之意，而在否定句中意義完全相反，not a bit=not at all"一點(diǎn)也不"，not a little相當(dāng)于very,"很、非常"的意思。
4.There was__________snow on the ground,if you go__________fast,you will fall over.
A.too much;too much B.much too;much too
C.too much;much too D.much too;too much
簡(jiǎn)析：選C。因too much"太多"，much too"過(guò)于"，后常接形容詞、副詞。
5.This book__________a lot of important information.
A.contains B.considers
C.suggests D.advises
簡(jiǎn)析：選A。因contain"包含"，consider"認(rèn)為"，suggest"建議、暗示"，advise"建議、忠告"。
五、高考真題
1.(NMET 2000)-Are you coming to Jeff's party?
-I'm not sure.I__________go to the concent instead.
A.must B.would
C.should D.might
簡(jiǎn)析：選D。從前面答語(yǔ)I'm not sure(我不敢肯定)，可知是否參加Jeff's party當(dāng)屬未知，故選might(可能)。
2.(NMET 2002)We thought of selling this old furniture,but we've decided to__________it.It might be valuable.
A.hold on to B.keep up with
C.turn to D.look after
簡(jiǎn)析：選A。因keep up with"跟上、不落后"和turn to"翻開(kāi)，求助于"與原文意思不符。look after的賓語(yǔ)往往是人、動(dòng)物、特點(diǎn)的物品，用在此也不合適。hold on to意為"堅(jiān)持、抓住不放"，正好吻合題意。
3.(NMET 2003北京春)-You don't look very__________.Are you ill?
-No,I'm just a bit tired.
A.good B.well
C.strong D.healthy
簡(jiǎn)析：選B。因語(yǔ)境指的是"身體好"--你看起來(lái)身體不大好，病了嗎？不，只是有點(diǎn)累。well作形容詞講，只能指"身體好"，good不能指身體，healthy"健康的"。
4.(NMET 2003)Allen had to call a taxi because the box was__________to carry all the way home.
A.much too heavy B.too much heavy
C.heavy too much D.too heavy much
簡(jiǎn)析：選A。因too much"太多"后接不可數(shù)名詞，much too"過(guò)于"后接形容詞。本題原因狀語(yǔ)從句使用了too…to結(jié)構(gòu)：因?yàn)橄渥犹�，不能一路搬著回家�?/p>
5.(NMET 2003)A left-luggage office is a place where bags__________be left for a short time,especially at a railway station.
A.should B.can
C.must D.will
簡(jiǎn)析：選B。從句意可知答案"行李寄存處是一個(gè)包能寄存不長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的地方，尤其在火車站"。
