15、ion. Why should “Friendlies” be changed? (From China Daily)Instead of the original name of the Games five mascot dolls “Friendlies”, last week the COC(中国奥委会) started to use “Fuwa”, which is a pinyin translation of its Chinese name. “Firstly, friendly is somewhat an ambiguous(有歧义的) name, which could
16、refer both to friendly people and friendly matches,”a famous professor said on the site. “Secondly, the term “Friendlies” has a similar pronunciation to friendless and thirdly, the spelling of Friendlies is made up of friend and lies. ”“Friendlies” is changed into “Fuwa”.

18、ding the questions carefully before you begin can give you a good idea of the information you are looking for.2. Skim the passage, and look for main points and key words.

21、op.Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it.An American man named Jack OLeary claimed to have hiccupped 160 million times over a period
22、of eight years. He tried 60 000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed to Saint Jude, the saint of Hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.It took a British plumber eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getti
23、ng well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go
24、away if you believe in the cure.Passage 2President Clinton was born in the little southern town of Hope, Arkansas, on August 19, 1946. But his name was not Bill Clinton.

76、e students the very old famous Chinese tale about sentences without any punctuation marks.Once upon a time, a man went to a hotel to live in. When the waiter came up to ask what he would like to have. He wrote down two sentences in this way: If no fish, meat is OK; no chicken, duck OK. But, what puz
77、zled the waiter was that his sentences had no punctuation marks. At last, the second day, the waiter served the man with only vegetables. Because, the waiter misunderstood his sentences by thinking like this: If no fish and meat, Im OK; if no chicken and duck, never mind.“无鱼肉也可; 无鸡鸭也可。” “无鱼肉也可; 无鸡,
78、鸭也可。” “无鱼肉, 也可; 无鸡鸭, 也可。”After this tale, students will know the importance of punctuation marks in both Chinese and English.Activity 2. Lead-inIf you have ever wondered if punctuation is truly important, try reading a passage that does not have any punctuation. It is nearly impossible to correctly
79、figure out what the writer was trying to say. Punctuation tells us when one idea stops and another starts. It tells us who owns things and who says what. Punctuation helps us to understand what we are reading.Activity 3 Introduce the most common punctuation marks in English to students. Full StopQue
