《牛津高中英語》模塊一 Unit 1

一、教學課型: 閱讀理解課

二、教材分析 1.教材內(nèi)容

見《牛津高中英語》模塊一 Unit 1（Pages 2—3）2.教材處理

該篇文章主要介紹中國學生Wei Hua在英國為期一年的留學經(jīng)歷。通過她對英國中學生活的描述，學生對英國中學生的日常學習情況增加一定的了解。但由于內(nèi)容較多以及中英文化方面的差異，在閱讀過程中，對于剛進入高中學習的學生，他們中有些在完全理解課文方面有一定的困難。

針對上述分析，本課在設計時先以錄像導入的形式，增加學生對文章有關的感性知識；然后采用略讀的方法，培養(yǎng)學生閱讀整體觀念；在隨后的細節(jié)處理時，采取尋讀、細節(jié)理解、正誤辨別的方法；在難點處理時，通過啟發(fā)誘導，教師歸納的措施加以突破。整個教學過程的設計由淺入深，由感悟、理解、分析、歸納、總結到運用，從而完成從閱讀輸入到理解輸出的學習過程，達到培養(yǎng)學生閱讀能力的目標。3.教學目標

① 知識目標: 通過該文的學習,幫助學生對英國中學作息時間、班級規(guī)模、所學科目、課程內(nèi)容、學習負擔等學校生活有具體的了解。

②能力目標: 通過尋找文章大意及具體細節(jié)問題的答案，培養(yǎng)學生快速歸納文章主旨和獲取文章細節(jié)的閱讀能力。

③ 文化目標: 通過對課文的學習、有助于學生對英國中學生活全面而深入的理解，體會中英兩國之間由于國情、歷史的不同所產(chǎn)生的文化教育的差異。4.教學的重點和難點

① 重點：對英國中學生活的具體了解和中英兩國之間的文化教育的差異。

② 難點：如何培養(yǎng)學生運用略讀（skimming）和尋讀（scanning）閱讀技巧來快速獲取主旨大意和細節(jié)信息的能力。

三、教學設計 1.總體思路

本課的教學設計采用：閱讀前（導入）、閱讀中（略讀，尋讀，辨別正誤，比較, 分組活動, 鞏固）、閱讀后（運用）三部分。2.教學過程 Step 1 Lead-in T: Now, Class, we have learned English since the primary school, and we have known some British language, culture, history and some other British lives.But do you know what the British school life is really like? If you want to know the answer, please watch the following video.(設計說明: 由學生從小學以來的英語學習,自然過度到對對英語語言、文化、歷史等方面的了解，進而提及到英國中學生活，激發(fā)學生對該話題的興趣,為下文做很好的背景鋪墊。)Show the students a short video, which mainly tells us about a public British school where we may know something about the British students’ study hours at school, their school activities, their subjects and their study goals.(設計說明: 通過這段錄像使學生從視覺, 聽覺等方面了解到英國中學生的日常作息時間、在?；顒?、所學科目以及學習目標,讓學生多方面直觀,感性地了解英國中學生活,為后面文章的學習提供很好的背景知識。)Step 2 Presentation T: From this the video, we have already gained some brief impression about the British school life.If you want to get something more about it, let’s come to today’s passage.T: Today we are going to read a passage by Wei Hua, who once studied in the UK.She will give us some detailed information about the school life in the UK.(設計說明: 由錄像內(nèi)容自然導入課文, 環(huán)環(huán)相扣, 輕松入題。同時, 對文章的內(nèi)容作簡要介紹, 讓學生對閱讀內(nèi)容有所了解。)Step 3 Reading(1)Skimming T: Now please skim the passage quickly and try to find the answers to the following questions.Hand up when you get them.(Show the questions on the screen.)1.What is the main idea of this passage?(Suggested answers: 1.It mainly tells us some specific information about what school life in the UK is really like and some differences between high schools in the UK and in China.)2.What are the key points you can conclude from each paragraph?(Suggested answers: Para 1: School hours;Para 2: Attending assembly;Para 3: Teachers and classmates;Para 4-6: Homework and subjects;Para 7: British food and her activities;Para 8: feeling and hope.)(設計說明: 通過讓學生對文章的中心思想和段落關鍵詞歸納，有意識地培養(yǎng)學生的略讀策略, 有助于學生有的放矢地快速獲取主要信息的閱讀能力。)(2)Scanning Ask the Ss to go through the passage as quickly as possible and try to find answers to the three following questions.1.How long did Wei Hua stay in Britain? 2.What was the name of Wei Hua’s class teacher? 3.What did Wei Hua make in her woodwork class?(Answers: 1.For one year.2.Mr Heywood.3.A small table.)(設計說明: 該步驟旨在讓學生帶著問題通過快速尋讀文章相關信息, 以此形成對Wei Hua留學英論的經(jīng)歷有一個初步了解。)(3)Detailed information T: Now please scan the passage to find some detailed information from each paragraph and then fill in the following form:

Para Main idea Detailed information 1

School hours a)Was she happy with the school life?(Yes.)b)School in Britain _____ around 9 am and _____ about 3:30 pm.(starts;ends)2

(設計說明: 通過用表格的形式對文章中重要信息加以呈現(xiàn), 將略讀和尋讀、獲取細節(jié)信息和深層理解相結合，并將讀與寫自然銜接起來，讓學生系統(tǒng)，直觀地掌握閱讀材料中重點內(nèi)容, 這要求學生認真分析課文，積極思考, 從而使他們對英國中學生活有進一步的理性認識。)(4)True or false T: Please read the passage again, and then decide the following sentences true or false according to the article.If it is false, please try to correct it.1.Wei Hua likes the school hours in the UK.2.Chinese schools encourage students to work hard.3.Wei Hua’s favorite teacher was Miss Burke.4.The average number of the students in each class in Britain is over 30.5.British students have fixed classroom and classmates.6.British students can only study two languages: English and French.7.Wei Hua enjoyed British food.8.Wei Hua enjoyed playing football.9.Wei Hua is now back in Manchester again.(Suggested answers: 1.T 2.T 3.T 4.F The average number of the students in each class in Britain is 29.5.F They move to different classrooms for different classes.6.F They have to study English, but they can drop French if they don’t like.They can choose Spanish or German.7.F She missed Chinese food a lot.8.T 9.F She hopes that someday she can go back and study in Manchester again.)(設計說明: 在學生基本理解文章的內(nèi)容后, 通過對文章細節(jié)以正誤選擇題的形式加以呈現(xiàn), 引導學生分析比較文章具體細節(jié), 培養(yǎng)學生辨別是非正誤細節(jié)的閱讀理解能力。)(5)Consolidation Ask the students to read the passage carefully one more again to find the answers to the following questions.Through careful reading, students can get the further understanding about the text and consolidate what they have learned from skimming and scanning.1.Which of the following statements is Not Wrong according to the passage?

Aspects In the UK In China similarity

difference

After the discussion the teacher may ask two or three students from different groups to present their group’s opinions about the topic.The teacher should give them some help if necessary.(設計說明: 通過組織學生對中國和英國中學的異同進行比較討論，從而進一步加深對英國中學生活差異的體會和感悟。這樣，有助于提高學生對知識的理解水平和運用所學的內(nèi)容解決問題的能力，既可以為教師教學提供反饋信息，又可以讓學生之間的相互啟迪，使他們在學習過程中學會學習。)Step 5 Reading strategy At first the teacher may ask the class how they can get the main idea and detailed information from the passage.If necessary, the teacher may give the students some minutes to think about it or work together with their partner.After several minutes, the teacher may ask some of them to deliver their approaches to finding the main idea and detailed information from the passage.Then the teacher may draw a conclusion about the reading strategies of skimming and scanning by showing the following contents on the screen.Skimming: We skim a passage when we want to get a general idea of what it is about.We look at the titles and headings, the first and last sentences of paragraphs and the first and last paragraphs as well as pictures and charts to guess what the passage is about.Scanning: When we want to find certain information in a passage quickly, we scan the passage for key words and phrases, dates, numbers, etc.We do not need to read the whole passage word by word.(設計說明: 該步驟通過讓學生對學習過程中所采用的無意識閱讀策略加以思索、討論和分析，然后，在老師的啟發(fā)引導下，對閱讀策略進行總結歸納，使學生對學習方法的掌握由無意學習發(fā)展到有意學習，從而使得學生進一步有效掌握閱讀技巧和方法，不斷提高閱讀能力。Step 6 Discussion T: Nowadays, more and more young students are going abroad to study.What effects(影響）will the new school life have on them? Then the teacher may ask students to work in groups of four and have a discussion about what opinions they can offer.Each group should choose a representative to summarize the opinions of the group and then report them to the class.When the representative expresses their views, they should give a clear and detailed description about what are the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad.If necessary, the teacher may show the class the following points to help the students who are poor in English know how to do it.Advantages: 1.Widen their view;2.Improve their English;3.Learn to be independent and cooperate with others;4.Learn about foreign customs and culture;5.Let the foreigners learn about China and attract them to invest in China;6.Learn advanced technology;7.…

Disadvantages: 1.Cost a lot of money and become a heavy burden on their parents;2.Feel homesick;3.Form some bad habits;4.Stay in a foreign country and refuse to come back;5.…

(設計說明: 該步驟設計根據(jù)教學目標和學生的認知水平，通過比較留學國外的優(yōu)缺點，使閱讀學習通過討論活動成為學生交流的動力，把知識的獲取、規(guī)律的探索、分析解決問題的方法寓于討論之中，真正把閱讀學習作為自我探究、自我發(fā)現(xiàn)、主動實踐和合作交流的載體，從而使得學生有效掌握閱讀內(nèi)容和閱讀技巧。)Step 7 Summary and Assignment T: Today we’ve learned a text about Wei Hua’s experience in the UK.Meanwhile, we have learned the reading strategies: skimming and scanning.Master these and put them into use in future while reading.Through reading we know there are many differences both in the timetable and in the curriculum.Read the passage after class and get familiar with these language points.After class, please finish Parts D and E and have a further discussion with your partners about the topic in Part F.(設計說明： 通過課堂教學，教師完成了對學生閱讀內(nèi)容的輸入過程，該環(huán)節(jié)設計旨在進一步鞏固所學知識，促進學生形成有效的學習策略，提高自主學習能力，讓學生學會思考問題、面對陌生的問題和領域?qū)ふ医鉀Q問題的答案和方法，把學生的目光引向廣闊的知識海洋，最后能夠?qū)χR進行高效輸出。）

At first I couldn’t believe it!There were no 1 in rows;no bells rang;no one had to go to class.Although we all lived “in”, nobody made us go to bed at a certain time;there was no “l(fā)ights out”.The 2 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night.Only the new people stayed up or 3 class.The new ones always went wild 4 , but this never lasted long.The 5 took some getting used to.Our teachers treated us like 6;never did we have to 7 “stand up”, “sit down” , “speak out”.I don’t 8 one student who didn’t try his best.The subjects were the same as those in 9 school, but what a difference in the approach!For example, in botany we had 10 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden.12 in winter we each studied a few 13 things about what we had grown.In math the students built three different kinds of storeroom—small ones 14 ,but usable.They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom.They really had a 15 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 16 the angles and so on.I didn’t take math.I can’t stand it!Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers.That’s 17.I think I am a better person for having gone to the school.I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better.That’s probably a real big 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20.1.A.desksB.lightsC.studentsD.buildings

Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States , there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.Students can participate(take part)in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.Anyone can register(登記)with such groups , which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members.One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain , is Outward Bound(戶外訓練).It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence , self-esteem(自尊)and character.As well as specialist courses such as canoeing , leadership skills and sailing , participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.Michael Williams , an American student , took part in an Outward Bound course last year.He said : “We learned lots of first aid skills , lots of natural history , lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation(protecting)programme.Beyond that , my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”

Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14.Students must be in general good health , but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports.There is no selection process;everyone is welcome , although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power.Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales.Another similar organization is the UK Survival School , which includes courses on learning to live with the environment , sailing and winter survival.On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food , how to make fire and cook with it , to find and build a shelter , control survival life support , how to cross rivers , send off an SOS signal , and to use compasses by day and night.According to the leaders , such adventures are “an awakening , an exploration into unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the earth’s roughest wildness areas.”

1.The advantage of the training courses is that_________.A.participants can make friends with others

B.participants can visit some places of interest

C.participants can experience different adventures

D.participants can learn how wonderful nature is

2..In the Outward Bound course last year , the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was_________.A.learning first aid skillsB.collecting facts of environment

C.preserving wildlifeD.rock climbing and sailing

3.What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage ?

A.To introduce the training course to readers.B.To persuade readers to take part in the training courses.C.To tell readers the danger of this training course.D.To introduce the wonders of the world to readers.Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak

English very well when they meet a foreigner.They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(結構), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy.They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly.This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English.The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence(自信).Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make.The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more.I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.4.What's the best topic for the passage?

A.How to Speak to Foreigners

B.How to Study English Well

C.How to Organize the Idea in English

D.Practise Speaking English All the Time

5.Many Chinese students can write English very well, but they cannot speak English fluently because ________

D.they think it's enough to master the basic language structure only

6.So many Chinese students are afraid speak to foreigners because

A.they are afraid they can't understand foreigners

B.they don't think their English is poor

C.they worry about making mistakes in their speaking

D.they didn't tike speaking to foreigners

Reading Read the text quickly and answer these questions 1.What did Wei Hua think of her life in the UK? 2.What subjects did Wei Hua study in the past year? 3.What British city did Wei Hua go to? Read this article from a school magazine, written by Wei Hua, who studied in the UK for one year.School life in the UK

Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me.I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m.and ends about 3.30 p.m.This means I could get up an hour later than usual, as schools in China begin before 8 a.m.On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall.I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana.We soon became best friends.During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school.He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades.This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year.Mr.Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful.My favourite teacher was Miss Burke— I loved the lesson that she gave in English literature.In our class there were 28 students.This is about the average site for British schools.We had to move to different classrooms for different classes.We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school.However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English.I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.My English improved a lot, as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English in the library.I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free.I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings.Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food.At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something.I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them, for example, History and French.They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or languages such as Spanish and German.In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture.Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch.British food is very different.British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal.After lunch, we usually played on the school field.Sometimes I played football with the boys.Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.I was very lucky to experience this different way of life.I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope too go back and study in Manchester again.Reading strategy: skimming and scanning

We skim a text when we want to get a general idea of what it is about.We look at the titles, the first and last sentence of paragraphs, as well as pictures and charts.to guess what the text is about.When we want to find certain information in a text quickly, we scan the text for key words and phrases, dates, numbers and so on.We do not need to read the whole text word by word.

秘密和謊言

親愛的安妮：

我覺得我的朋友漢娜背叛了我。從小學起我倆就是最好的朋友，幾乎每天都在一起。因為我們成績好,喜愛學習，其他同學有時會說我倆沒趣，但我們喜歡那樣。我們都很用功，成績在學校一直很優(yōu)秀。

星期一那天，我們搞了一次突襲性的數(shù)學小測驗。我以為它非常簡單，一點也不擔心考試成績。小測驗之后，我說起話來聽上去一定洋洋自得，說它實在太簡單了，我肯定能取得好成績。第二天下課后，我的數(shù)學老師卻告訴我，我得了全班最低分!我感到非常羞愧，這么簡單的小測驗沒能及格，我真是笨極了!

后來，我假裝很開心，但漢娜還是覺察到哪兒有點不對勁。午餐前，我們一起去女子洗手間時，我承認考得有多么糟糕。我求她不要告訴任何人，她說她會替我保守秘密。

但是第二天，當我走進數(shù)學課教室時，我就注意到同學們在盯著我看。當我坐下時，我驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)桌子上有一張紙，上面寫著：“笨蛋薩拉得了D等!”我難過得想哭。我想漢娜一定是在答應過我不會告訴任何人之后將我的成績告訴了同學們。大家一定都在背后嘲笑我!

我非常生氣，徑直走到漢娜跟前，告訴她我們不再是朋友了，因為她不能信守諾言。她很不安，發(fā)誓說她沒有告訴任何人。但是，能看到成績的人只有老師和學生自己。她說一定是有人在洗手間偷聽我們的談話，但我不相信她的解釋。我想我永遠也不會真正地原諒她。現(xiàn)在，我失去了我最好的朋友。我該怎么辦呢?

你真誠的，薩拉

陷入困境的友誼

親愛的安妮：

我叫安德魯。我1 7歲，碰到了一個難題。我最好的朋友馬修已經(jīng)停止跟我說話了。我們從小就是好朋友，一起在學校足球隊踢球。上個星期，我們與另一所學校的球隊有一場非常重要的比賽。那支球隊很棒，我們必須集中精力。我下決心一定要贏得比賽，但馬修踢得很糟糕。他跟不上比賽的節(jié)奏。由于他的漫不經(jīng)心，我們輸了球賽。

后來，我非常生他的氣，并告訴他說我覺得他沒有盡全力。他也被惹火了，說如果他的球技不如我那可不是他的錯，還說我不該以這種方式和他說話。然后我們倆都開始沖著對方大喊大叫，結果我們的喊叫變成了可怕的爭執(zhí)。他指責我做了一些非常不好的事情，只是為了傷害我。我感到很內(nèi)疚，因為我也說了一些殘酷無情的話，但我不喜歡看到我們隊輸球。足球?qū)ξ液苤匾?，但我們的友誼也同樣很重要。

雖然我們在教室里是鄰座，但自從吵架之后，他便沒有和我說過話。這實在令人尷尬。他通常開朗外向，但最近一直沉默寡言，顯得很難受。他說的那些話也傷害了我，但他并未向我道歉。

昨天，我看見他和另一個男孩彼得說話，我不禁想知道他是不是想讓彼得取代我做他最好的朋友。我把吵架的事告訴了我哥哥，但他說馬修只是太敏感，可能還有一點嫉妒，因為我身強體壯，足球踢得很好。他說我最好另找一個朋友。我該怎么辦呢?

你真誠的，安德魯

青少年的友誼觀

我的朋友羅伯特有一個雙胞胎妹妹叫阿曼達。盡管他們相處融洽，但阿曼達和她朋友的一些事，還是讓羅伯特感到困惑。他無法理解女孩子怎么會聊天那么長時間。例如，有時他離開公寓去踢足球時，阿曼達和她的朋友沙倫就坐在沙發(fā)上聊天。當他三個半小時后問來時，她們?nèi)匀蛔谏嘲l(fā)上，繼續(xù)聊著同樣的話題。一天，羅伯特抑制不住好奇，問阿曼達她們聊了什么，她回答說：“我們是最好的朋友。我們什么都聊——電影明星、流行歌曲、食譜等等，所有的事!”

男孩和女孩對待友誼有著不同的態(tài)度。女孩之間的友誼通常建立在共同的情感和互相支持之上，而男孩之間的友誼則以共同的活動或興趣為基礎。對于與密友們分享感情這件事，一個男孩會更加謹慎。而一個女孩的密友則可能會迫不及待地向她吐露自己生活中發(fā)生過的一些事。

全球范圍的許多研究表明女孩比男孩享有更多的友誼。事實上，許多青春期的男孩說不出一個最好的朋友。當被問起時，他們在回答前往往會猶豫一下：‘‘最好的朋友?我沒有想過這個問題。我忙于家庭作業(yè)。我有很多朋友，很難說出哪一位是我最好的朋友?！?/p>

被問到過這個問題的女孩往往能毫不猶豫地回答：“最好的朋友?當然有。我們分享的東西很多。我們經(jīng)常一起做很多事，比如聊天和逛街?！?/p>

我們必須認識到男孩共享活動，而女孩分享情感。無論男孩和女孩友誼的基礎是什么，他們所看重的朋友身上的品質(zhì)似乎是一樣的。所要記住的重要一點是：它們二者均是友誼。我們在生活中都需要朋友。

友誼對我意味著什么

當確定生活中最重要的是什么時，有些人選擇金錢，而別的人則選擇諸如安全感和舒適度之類的東西。然而，對我而言，生活中最重要的東西是友誼。我不能想像沒有它。

友誼意味著不孤獨。有一次去我獨自一人旅行，途經(jīng)北京去我祖父母家。由于我要乘坐的下一趟火車要到晚上才開，我有一天的觀光時間。起初，我并不介意自己一個人，但后來看見所有的游客一起拍照，我開始感到難過。最終我回到火車站，在候車室里度過了當天余下的時光。如果沒有同伴分享，生活就索然無味。

友誼意味著有人可以依靠。去年，我把書包忘在了無軌電車上，丟了所有的期末考試的筆記。你可以想像我有多慌亂。幸運的是，我最好的朋友珍妮讓我復印了她的筆記，我復習時用了它們。多虧她的幫助，我才得以通過考試。

友誼意味著忠誠于他人。擁有朋友的最佳途徑就是做一個朋友。因為我是一個朋友，我就要學會有耐心和寬容。有一次我與珍妮吵架，她說了一些有關我的殘酷無情的閑話。盡管我的感情受到了傷害，我還是原諒了她。后來她向我道歉。通過這一事件，我們倆都變成了更好的人。然而，如果當初我終止了我們的友誼，那我們倆都會一無所得。

總之，當我們年老時回顧我們生活時，我們會記住什么呢?我們會記住我們買過的東西或者是去過的地方嗎?不，我們會記住那些我們愛過的人和愛過我們的人。我們會記住我們的朋友。

經(jīng)濟還是環(huán)境——我們必須做出抉擇嗎？

電視節(jié)目主持人：詹姆斯·朗 發(fā)言：林水清，綠色協(xié)會發(fā)言人

錢利偉，企業(yè)發(fā)展咨詢顧問

詹姆斯·朗：各位上午好。今天辯論的問題是“經(jīng)濟還是環(huán)境——我們必須做出抉擇嗎?”今天的嘉賓是來自綠色協(xié)會的林水清女士和企業(yè)發(fā)展咨詢顧問錢利偉先生。今天辯論的程序與往常一樣。林水清女士首先發(fā)言，時間為三分鐘。接下來是錢利偉先生發(fā)言，時間也是三分鐘。之后我們將展開自由討論。如果大家有什么問題或評論，可以利用這一時間將它們表達出來。

林水清：大家上午好!我今天首先要談的是化學廢物如何破壞著世界上的大片區(qū)域。許多地方已經(jīng)被毀，許多動植物已經(jīng)死亡。這很糟糕。工廠排放出大量有害化學物質(zhì)。工廠生產(chǎn)造成的廢物進入大氣，使我們生病。其他種類的廢物流入水中，殺死河流中及海洋中的生物。

捕撈船也在毀滅大量的海洋生物。這些捕撈船捕撈大量的魚，而不留時間給它們產(chǎn)卵，這將導致我們食用的魚的數(shù)目越來越小。

一方面我們在毀滅環(huán)境，另一方面我們繼續(xù)生育越來越多的人口，這些人口需要更多的土地居住，也需要更多的食物食用!與1 800年的人口相比，世界人口數(shù)量已經(jīng)增長了六倍?，F(xiàn)在約有70億人!

我們有責任努力削減生產(chǎn)，減少制造和購買的東西的數(shù)量。我們制造出來的垃圾數(shù)量正在成為一個大問題。我們有必要更多地考慮循環(huán)利用垃圾。好的做法將是增加回收利用的東西的數(shù)量，并教給人們不損害環(huán)境的生活方式。我們甚至可以借此創(chuàng)造出更多的就業(yè)機會，幫助我們的國家在保護環(huán)境的同時更好地發(fā)展。

謝謝!

錢利偉：女士們、先生們，上午好。謝謝你，林女士。你的演講很有意思。顯然，你非常擔心我們的環(huán)境的現(xiàn)狀。作為企業(yè)發(fā)展咨詢顧問，我常常被視為是反對環(huán)保的。一想到工廠，人們就會想到滾滾的濃煙或者向河流傾瀉化學廢物的管道。他們會聯(lián)想到貪婪的商人躲避社會責任，一味關心金錢。人們常常認為經(jīng)濟發(fā)展對環(huán)境有害，但這未必是正確的。

我在這里要說的是，與很多環(huán)境顧問一起工作之后，我知道健康的環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟發(fā)展并存是有可能的。許多工廠和企業(yè)控制自己生產(chǎn)的污染總量，誠心地投入資金去修復它們破壞的環(huán)境。這些工廠的經(jīng)營者非常關心環(huán)境。我們應該停止將這些公司和商人視作敵人，而應給他們以更多的贊譽。

林女士建議為了保護環(huán)境我們應該削減我們所生產(chǎn)的東西的數(shù)量。我不同意這個觀點，因為那樣的話，就業(yè)機會將減少。我認為人類比魚類和樹木更加重要。

然而，我非常贊同我們應該利用回收材料制造更多的東西，減少原材料的使用，因為原材料的供應正變得越來越緊張。我們需要更有效的法律來保護環(huán)境，但同時讓國家得到發(fā)展。這包括控制伐木量和捕撈量。這可能會讓木材和海產(chǎn)品價格上漲，但是為某些東西支付更高的價錢并不總是壞事。我問過周圍的人，發(fā)現(xiàn)許多人都愿意支付稍高一些的價錢來購買環(huán)保產(chǎn)品。

最后，那些污染環(huán)境的工廠應該繳納更高的稅。如果你破壞環(huán)境，你就應該為此付出更多的環(huán)境維護費用。

謝謝大家!

保護長江

作為世界上第三長的河流，長江的環(huán)境問題已經(jīng)引起了國內(nèi)外的關注。飛速的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展和人口增長意味著取自長江的水量不斷上漲，而排回到長江中的廢物也在不斷增加。這對依賴長江用水的人來說是個不好的消息，對生活在江中或沿岸的大量魚類和野生生物來說也是個不好的消息。

許多人已經(jīng)認識到保護長江的重要性，他們已經(jīng)成立組織和設立項目，來解決這個問題。例如，綠色江河組織教育人們，讓他們了解保護這條大河的重要性。該組織還監(jiān)視長江，阻止非法捕撈。非法捕撈已經(jīng)威脅到野生動物的數(shù)量。

政府的兩個特別項目也在實施中。第一個項目是水土保持項目，啟動于1 9 89年。這個項目使得農(nóng)民退耕還林或退耕還草。這個項目已經(jīng)取得成功，因為它有效地改善了當?shù)氐沫h(huán)境和江邊的土地情況。

第二個項目是白鰭豚自然保護區(qū)。白鰭豚是世界上最稀有的動物之一。由于長江的污染，中國白鰭豚的數(shù)量急劇下降。盡管科學家還在期盼著白鰭豚不會絕種，但人們最后一次看到白鰭豚已經(jīng)是在好幾年前了。

要解決有關長江的所有問題，我們還有很長的一段路要走。但是，人們終于認識到他們有責任來保護這條大河。因此，長江的環(huán)境正在改善。中國政府和人民為保護這條深受人們熱愛的河流所做出的努力會在未來得到賞識。

氣候變化和低碳生活

毫無疑問，最近幾年世界氣候一直在發(fā)生著變化。許多人將這一變化歸咎于二氧化碳等氣體。動物和人類在呼吸時會排出二氧化碳。然而，人類的許多其他活動也會釋放出二氧化碳。每當物體燃燒時，碳就會排放進大氣中。小汽車和其他車輛燃燒汽油來發(fā)動引擎，發(fā)電站通常靠燃燒諸如煤和油之類的燃料來發(fā)電。因此，我們消耗的汽油和電能越多，我們釋放出的碳就越多。

我們能做的有助于解決這一問題的方法之一就是盡量步行或使用自行車。盡管我們呼吸時產(chǎn)生碳，但所排出的碳要比小汽車產(chǎn)生的碳少很多。當然，有時候我們也需要長途旅行。這種情況下，與私家車或出租車相比，公共交通工具如公共汽車和地鐵是更好的選擇。如果你必須開車，獨自出行永遠不是最佳選擇——你應該試著找人與你同行。

在家你應該盡可能少地消耗能量。不用電燈以及其他電器時，應該關掉。由于工廠消耗大量能源，也排放出大量碳化氣體，盡量多地回收利用是非常重要的。尤其是金屬產(chǎn)品和紙質(zhì)產(chǎn)品需要消耗大量能源來生產(chǎn)，因此你應該找到重復使用這些產(chǎn)品的方法，而不是把它們?nèi)拥簟?/p>

最后但并不是最不重要的一點是，你可以植樹，因為樹能夠吸收空氣中的二氧化碳，釋放氧氣。種植一棵小樹很便宜也很簡單，但二十多年之后，當你看到它們都長成大樹時，會有一種滿足感，因為你知道自己為幫助解決氣候變化問題盡了你的一份力。

完美的復制

科學家們宣布他們已經(jīng)克隆出第一個人類胚胎。這引起了世界范圍內(nèi)的很多爭論。一方面，一些科學家指出如果克隆人類胚胎，你就可以制造出寶貴的人體組織----如骨組織或肺組織——它們可以用來拯救人類的生命。另一方面，包括一些科學家在內(nèi)的許多人持不同意見，他們擔心人類如果如此戲弄自然，我們可能將制造出一個現(xiàn)實生活中的弗蘭肯斯坦怪物。

克隆是用某種植物或動物的細胞制造出一模一樣的植物或動物。第一個成功地用成年動物細胞克隆出的哺乳動物是多利羊。她1 996年被克隆出來，2003年初死亡，壽命要比普通的羊短很多。當她被克隆出來的時候，許多人擔心克隆會導致動物世界中更多的疾病。然而，總體來說，這些科學家還是因為其杰出的科學進展獲得人們的贊譽。

克隆出多利的蘇格蘭科學家伊恩·威爾莫特對于有些科學家正在考慮克隆人類感到非常震驚。盡管他研究克隆技術，但他的目的從來就不是制造人類的復制品。相反，他認為克隆研究應該注重創(chuàng)造用于治療的新組織和器官，這些新組織或器官能被用來治療像癌癥這樣的疾病。但是，有些人認為懷著摧毀人類胚胎的意圖來克隆人類胚胎是對人類生命的不尊重。

盡管克隆人類引起了很多不安，但對于不能生育的4 1歲女銷售員費依·威爾遜來說卻是個好消息?！拔铱释幸粋€我自己的孩子，”她說，“我不想領養(yǎng)別人的孩子——如果我有這個機會，我會立即要一個克隆嬰兒?！?/p>

盡管克隆人類胚胎在很多國家還不合法，但一些科學家已經(jīng)在加緊研究，以制造出克隆的人類嬰兒。一位名叫塞韋里諾·安蒂諾里的意大利醫(yī)生宣稱他想成為第一個克隆人類的人。

在中國，科學家們把精力集中在研究克隆動物上，以及用于醫(yī)療的克隆組織上。中國已經(jīng)成功克隆出牛和山羊，將繼續(xù)研究能夠造福人類的克隆方式。

親發(fā)的編輯：

我認為克隆人類是錯誤的。如果我們戲弄自然，我們就會不得不處理其后果。誰知道會發(fā)生什么呢?人類生命將變得像可以收割的莊稼或可供買賣的產(chǎn)品一樣。

人類正在耗盡地球的自然資源。為了減少地球的人口數(shù)量，我們應該少生孩子，而不是克隆出更多的人。

我為那位不能生育的女士難過，但是我要指出的是世界上有許多沒有父母的孩子，如果能有一位媽媽，他們一定非常高興的。

波琳·卡特

親發(fā)的編輯：

我想談談我對你們的《完美的復制》一文的看法。我想文章中提到的科技進步是了不起的。我完全贊同克隆人類。畢竟，幾個世紀以來科學家們一直在挑戰(zhàn)道德的問題。為什么我們現(xiàn)在要阻止他們呢?

就我個人而言，克隆將徹底改變我的生活。七年前，我十歲的女兒死于心臟病。她漂亮、快樂而聰明。我每天都在思念她。如果我有機會，我愿意立即克隆她，那樣我就又可以和她在一起了。

人類與目然

長期以來，由于人類的漠不關心，我們的環(huán)境遭受了嚴重破壞。人類因農(nóng)業(yè)、漁業(yè)、狩獵以及旅游業(yè)已經(jīng)損害了自然。我們在海里修建新的通道，在陸地建造工廠，產(chǎn)生的化學廢物污染環(huán)境，這些都變本加厲地在破壞地球。如果我們繼續(xù)這樣做，總有一天我們會毀掉我們賴以生存的星球。

然而，如果我們只關注保護自然，人類就要受苦。并非一切對自然最好的對人類也是最好的。會有人說為了保護自然就應該停止經(jīng)濟發(fā)展嗎?根據(jù)有些人的觀點，我們只是在做人類一直在做的事情-----利用自然滿足我們自己的需求。還有一些人則爭辯說這樣的思維會帶來大災難，除非我們開始關注周圍的環(huán)境，懂得清潔的環(huán)境為什么對我們大家有益。

在破壞自然、用竭自然資源數(shù)十年之后，許多發(fā)達國家現(xiàn)在更關注保護自然，而不是發(fā)展或破壞自然。但是，許多貧窮國家必須致力于滿足其人民的日常需要。為了實現(xiàn)這一目標，他們正在飛速消耗自然資源。他們還沒有像許多富裕國家那樣，認識到隨心所欲消耗自然資源的后果。他們往往沒有意識到他們的選擇有害環(huán)境。如果他們毀掉了成千上萬畝的雨林，但卻使他們的人民有了更好的收入，他們是否應該受到責備呢?世界上發(fā)達國家和發(fā)展中國家需要通力合作，確保人們過上富?？鞓返纳?，而周邊的環(huán)境也不會遭受破壞。

這不應該是人類獲勝、自然失敗的問題。人們只有保護自然才能真正地獲勝。畢竟，食物需要在健康自然的環(huán)境系統(tǒng)中生長，我們都需要呼吸干凈的空氣，飲用純凈的水。找到對人類、對萬物皆有利的解決方案，這是人類的職責。

轉基因食品：希望還是威脅

近年來，遺傳學研究有了巨大的進步。由于這些進步，通向前所未有的科技之門打開了。當許多人為這些新技術而興奮不已時，這些技術也讓其他人害怕。轉基因食品就是最好的例子。

可以通過兩種方法改變動植物基因。第一種方法是在動植物原有的DNA中插入新的物質(zhì)，這樣可以讓動物或植物具有本質(zhì)上沒有的特性。第二種方法是移除動植物DNA原有的某些物質(zhì)，這樣可以去除掉動植物原本具有的但人們不想要的一些特性。

轉基因研究的一個目的就是生產(chǎn)可以讓我們更加健康的食品。到目前為止，這項技術已用于植物基因改造，基因改造后的植物能更好地抵御蟲害和疾病。轉基因食品的支持者認為轉基因植物更加健康，產(chǎn)量也更高。雖然現(xiàn)在也有轉基因動物研究，如對豬的研究，但目前還沒有轉基因肉類銷售。

人們提出了許多關于轉基因食品的問題。沒有人真正知道轉基因食品是否可供人或動物安全食用。科學家承認需要對轉基因食品做更多的測試。目前的研究僅局限于增加生產(chǎn)利潤，而不是確保轉基因食品的安全。因此食用轉基因食品有可能是危險的。

還有一個問題是轉基因植物是否對環(huán)境安全。轉基因作物生長在戶外，因而它們成為食物鏈的一部分------昆蟲以及其它動物會吃這些作物或者它們的果實，而這些昆蟲和動物又會被其他動物吃掉。沒有人知道轉基因物質(zhì)會給食物鏈帶來什么影響。

由于沒有人確切地知道轉基因食品是否安全，許多國家在是否允許生產(chǎn)轉基因食品問題上猶豫不決．他們寧愿對這項新技術持謹慎的態(tài)度。
