(It is the way he uses his tools that makes a successful scientist.

A successful scientist must have much imagination and intelligence and he must be creative and hard-working.

Asuccessful scientist must be confident, curious and careful. But what I like to know is what made him/her interested in science…)

T: Now look at the quotes on page 1.do you know what they mean? And do you agree?

Step III Speaking

T: Now let’s look at the speaking part on P2. Work in groups of five. Each group member represents a branch of science, eg biology, maths, chemistry, physics, computer science. You are going to debate each other to see which branch of science is the most important and useful for society.

Step II Word Study

T: Now let’s do an ex to see how to explain some words in English, according to the meanings of the sentences. Please turn to P5. Let’s do the ex in Word Study. Choose the closest meaning to the underlined word in each sentence. First we’ll learn a new phrase: use up. Do it by yourself and you can discuss in pairs.

Step III Grammar（詳解見后）

Bb:1. He hoped to visit China again .

2. It took a lot of time to finish the report .

3. Please give the boy sth to play with .

4. He went home to see his sick mother .

5. Her wish is to become a pop singer .

T: Tell me the function of the underlined part in each sentence.

S: No.1 is used as the object.

S: No.2 is used as the subject. It is more usual to use formal subject “it” and the infinitive phrase is usually placed at the end of the sentence, that is “it is…to do sth.”.

S: No.3 is used as the attribute.

S: No.4 is used as the adverbial for purpose.

S: No.5 is used as the predicative.

T: Now let’s do an ex on the screen. Group the infinitives according to how they are used.

1.Some things need (1) to be believed (2) to be seen .

2.The doctor told him that he may not have more than twelve months (3) to live .

3.(4) In order to get married ,I needed a job, and (5) in order to get a job , I needed a PhD.

S: Subject:(8)

Attribute(2)(3)

Object(1)(9)

Adverbial(4)(5)(6)(7)(10)

Step IV Practice

T: Now let’s do some exercises on P6, Ex2 and Ex3.Rewrite the sentences with “to be done” or “to have been done”.

He wanted the nurses to take care of the patient.

-He wanted the patient to be taken care of.

Because “the patient” is the logical object of “take care of”, the passive infinitive should be used in the second sentence.

The car was reported to have been stolen.

But when the action expressed by the Infinitive happens before the predicate, the perfect infinitive should be used.

2. How are the media above different from each other?

3. How do you know whether what you hear, see and read is true?

4. Do you know how a newspaper is made?

(Background information:

新聞媒介的基本類型和特點各是什么？

六種主要的大眾傳媒：口語、書籍、報紙、廣播、電視、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。

1.報紙。便于保存和檢索；新聞性較強；讀者可以反復閱讀，認真思考。但是，它受讀者文化程度的限制，發(fā)行需要一定的時間。

2.新聞雜志，是以傳播和解釋國內(nèi)外重大新聞為主要內(nèi)容的一種雜志，由于出版周期不同，分為周刊、半月刊和月刊等。周刊因為比較符合人們的工作節(jié)奏和生活習性，時效性較半月刊和月刊強，所以在世界新聞雜志中占據(jù)絕大多數(shù)，我國也一樣。相對于報紙等其他新聞媒介而言，新聞雜志表現(xiàn)新聞的方式更多的是提供新聞的背景資料（有時提供背景材料比新聞事件本身更重要），并且以此說明新聞的發(fā)生對現(xiàn)在以及將來的影響。也就是說，它不是像其他新聞媒介那樣著重報道動態(tài)新聞，而是對新聞事件進行有縱深、有廣度、有背景、有分析、有評論的深層報道。從事新聞雜志工作的業(yè)內(nèi)人士也常說：新聞雜志與報紙相比的一個優(yōu)勢是"后發(fā)制人"，這種后發(fā)制人意味著它的大量的報道必須具有深刻性或者深入性，如同當各種媒介以它們各自的特點關(guān)注著露出海面的冰山一角時，新聞雜志則把目光更多地投入到了海面以下那巨大的山體。

3.廣播。比報紙具有感染力；不受文化程度限制；傳播迅速。但是，其保留性差；無法對文字進行深度開掘。

4.電視。有感染力和說服力；不受文化程度限制；傳播迅速。但是，其保留性差。

5.網(wǎng)絡“第四大眾傳媒”

公認的大眾傳媒主要包括報紙、廣播、雜志、書籍和電影等六大媒介。隨著數(shù)字化技術(shù)的發(fā)展，電腦硬件的更新?lián)Q代，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)迅速普及和網(wǎng)站的大量建立，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)正成為一種新的媒體廣泛進入人們的生活。如今，國際上已把互聯(lián)網(wǎng)納入六大媒介中，并將其稱為繼報紙、廣播、電視之后的“第四大眾傳媒”。這說明，人們已經(jīng)認同了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的作用，能夠同報紙、廣播、電視等新聞媒介一樣，廣泛地傳遞新聞信息。

　　依托于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進行的新聞傳播活動，具備了其許多的優(yōu)勢，這主要表現(xiàn)在：

（1）．包容了傳統(tǒng)傳播媒介的所有信息形式，整合了文字、聲音、圖象等多種傳播的方式，實現(xiàn)了真正意義上的“多媒體”。

（2）．傳播質(zhì)量得以提升，受干擾程度降低，接收效果的物質(zhì)實體有了保證。

（3）．能夠以不同的方式和手段，靈活的報道同一事件，不致使人產(chǎn)生疲勞感和厭煩。

此外，就網(wǎng)絡新聞本身而言，除了具備了網(wǎng)絡所共有的優(yōu)勢之外，它還具有時效性強、容量大、速度快、超地域、超鏈接、可檢索等特點，這些都猛烈的沖擊著傳統(tǒng)的新聞出版方式乃至整個新聞出版產(chǎn)業(yè)。)

Step 2: Listening(SB page 10)

T: Now let’s come to the listening. We are going to listen to two parts of conversations.The first part is an interview; the second part is a dialogue. Listen carefully to what is said in each part. I’ll play the tape twice. (after listening) Please work in pairs to talk about the questions in Exercises 2, 3,4.

(Check the answer with the whole class)

Step 3 Key Words

1. Which of the news media above is the most reliable? 以上的新聞媒體中哪一種最可靠？

reliable adj. 可信賴的; 可依靠的；確定的
