41、lines across the zones of the South, Midlands and the North of England. Put each town or city into its correct zone. Sample answers: North: York, Leeds, Sheffield, ManchesterMidlands: Coventry, BirminghamSouth: Reading, London, Brighton, PlymouthStep Post-readingTask 1: Ask the students to write dow
42、n a short summary of the passage.The passage mainly clarifies how the UK developed as an administrative union and shows how England is divided into different zones according to its geographical position. It also explains how London was influenced by some invaders and turned out to be the cultural ca
43、pital of England as well as the UK.Task 2: Ask the students to paraphrase the following sentences. 1. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.2.

45、rt.Task 3: Ask the students to answer the following questions.Show the following on the screen. 1. How did the UK come about?2. What is the relationship between the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland?3. Why is London the capital of England, Great Britain and the UK as well? 4. What else do

Where can you find more about British history and culture?Sample answers:1. First, there was England an
47、d then Wales joined to England in the 13th century AD. Later on in 1603 when King James of Scotland became the King of England and Wales as well, Great Britain was formed peacefully including the three countries. Then they tried to get Ireland connected to form the United Kingdom but the southern pa
48、rt of Ireland broke away to form its own government. That was how the UK came about.2. At first the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland were of the same country. But when the UK intended to get the country included into the union, the southern part broke away and formed its own government.
49、So now the Republic of Ireland is an independent country while the Northern Ireland is part of the UK.3. London was first the capital of England and then the capital of Great Britain and finally of the United Kingdom, because it embodied the greatest historical treasure of all.4. Three out of four i
50、nvaders or conquerors have influenced the city, making it the largest city of all as well as the historical, cultural, political and economic center. It has the oldest port built by Romans in the 1st century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constru
51、cted by later Norman rulers in 1066.5. The four countries work together in some areas, for example, in international relations, with the same money system and so on, but they are still different. For instance, England, North Ireland and Scotland have developed different educational and legal systems
52、 as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup.6. The Union Jack shows the combination of the flags of three different countries: Cross of St George of England, Cross of St Andrew of Scotland and Cross of St Patrick of Ireland.7. England, the largest of the four countries,
53、is divided roughly into three zones: the south of England, which is the zone nearest France, the Midlands, which is in the middle, and the North of England, which is the zone nearest Scotland. Most of the population settles in the south while most of the large industrial cities lie in the Midlands a
54、nd the North of England.8. We can find out more about British history and culture in older but smaller towns first built by the Romans.Task 4: Ask the students to analyze the text. 1.

57、ich happened in the 13th century AD. Then James, Scotland King, united the three countries to form Great Britain in 1603 peacefully. Later on, the three countries intended to get Ireland connected to found the UK. However, the southern part broke away and formed its own government. So only Northern
58、Ireland became part of the UK. The four countries, of which England is the largest, work together as a whole but they have developed different educational and legal systems. England can be roughly divided into three zones, the South of England, which is nearest to France, the Midland and the North,
59、which is nearest to Scotland. Most of the population settles in the south while most of the large industrial cities lie in the Midlands and the North of England.London, the capital city of the UK, includes the greatest historical treasure of all with lots of museums, art collections, theatres, parks
60、 and buildings. Some early invaders have influenced it a lot from roads, towns, castles, language, and so on to government.

83、refully to obtain some details and do the exercises after the text. T: Guy Fawkes Night is celebrated in Britain annually on November 5th. The event is accompanied by firework displays, the lighting of bonfires and the ceremonial effigy-burning of one Guy Fawkes. The origin of this celebration comes
84、 from the event which took place in 1605 and was a conspiracy known as “The Gunpowder Plot”, intended to take place on November 5th of that year (the day set for the opening of Parliament). Now read the text and then find the answers to the exercises. Sample answers to Exercise 1:Oct. 10: one of Faw
85、kes Catholic friends, named Catesby, asked him if he would support a plan to change the government and replace it with another.Oct. 27: Fawkes and Catesby arranged to buy a house close to the Houses of Parliament. Oct. 28-31: Catesby and Fawkes bought large containers of gunpowder and stored them in
86、 the cellar. Nov. 6: the king and all his advisers would be in the parliament for the meeting.

87、g in Catholic. S2: I would like to be Robert Catesby. He would say like this: The king is never so tolerant of the Catholics. So I decided that a violent action is the only answer. The thing to do was to blow up the Houses of Parliament. In doing so, we would kill the King, maybe even the Prince of
88、Wales, and the Members of Parliament who were making life difficult for the Catholics. And to carry out the plan, Catesby and his men got hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder and stored them in a cellar, just under the House of Lords. S3: I would be an eyewitness: As the group worked on the plot, it beca
89、me clear that innocent people would be hurt or killed in the attack, including some people who even fought for more rights for Catholics. Some of the plotters started having second thoughts. One of the group members even sent an anonymous letter warning his friend, Lord Monteagle, to stay away from
90、the Parlia-ment on November 5th. S4: I would not like to be Guy Fawkes. Because he would say, “some of us have betrayed, so we should start the plan in advance.” So he tried to start the fire. But the soldiers found him before he could do anything and he was taken to the Tower of London to be killed
91、. S5: If King James had kept his promise, nothing would have happened.

110、n the southern area of Sichuan basin in China. Mt. Emei is one of the four sacred Buddhist Mountains in China. It is said that Mt. Emei derived its name from two peaks which face each other and look like eyebrows. The whole mountain range extends over 200 kilometers in length and breadth. Ever since
111、 the introduction of Buddhism into China in the 1st century AD, Buddhist buildings have been built on the mountain. Now there are more than one hundred temples and monasteries. It is known as the place of Buddhist Rites of Puxian.Mt. Emei is rich in natural and cultural heritage and carries several
112、monikers: “Kingdom of Plants”, “Paradise of Animals”, “Geological Museum”, “Buddhist Celestial Mountain” and is particularly famous for the title, “Elegance of Mt. Emei Under The Sun”.

114、akes most people a full day up and a full day back down; the monasteries along the way and at the top offer overnight accommodations for travelers at reasonable prices. As you make your way up, you may be expected to encounter plenty of pilgrims trudging their way steadily upward. The stamina of som
115、e of the older pilgrims is sure to surprise you. The monkeys arent really dangerous, but its probably better to appease them.Mt. Emei is one of the most attractive tourist attractions. It lies 150 kilometers away from Chengdu, 130 kilometers from the Shuangliu International Airport and only 28 kilom

137、running steps trying to serve too many tables. After 15 minutes and not getting seated, I decided to leave and went to another restaurant. Why not hire a second waiter or waitress?

138、d I hope you resolve the problems we met.Sincerely,Harlan Step Homework Ask the students to do the task in PROJECT on page 54. 附 件1. The history of the national flag of the UKEnglish flag was created by King James of Scotland. In 1603, he became the King of England. He was the first king to unite En
139、gland and Scotland. He combined Englands Red Cross of St. George with Scotlands White Cross of St. Andrew. The White Cross of St. Andrew stood for patron saint（保护神）of Scotland, while the Red Cross of St. George stood for patron saint of England. This was the flag that flew above all the early Englis
140、h settlements in the new world. It was the most commonly used flag in the English colonies. In 1801 King George added to the flag the Cross of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. English flag was generally referred to as the “Union Jack”. The flag has remained the same.2. The custom and tradition
141、of the UK“Ladies First” is a British custom, though it is less observed today than it used to be. The reason seems to be the fact that women are the equals of men in having the votes, taking paid jobs and receiving higher education, but there is still the feeling that they need protecting. It is sti
142、ll considered necessary to observe this tradition. In Britain, a man should let a woman go first, and protect her from traffic. On a bus, men should be initiative to give their seats to women, help women get on and off the bus. In a lift, a man should take off his cap when there is a woman. When goi
143、ng into or out of a room, men should be initiative to help women take off or put on their outerwear. When dining with a lady, a man should offer her a better seat so that she can easily overlook the outer door scene or view of the whole restaurant. At the very first meeting, men should be introduced
144、 to ladies first.3. The character of the BritishThe best-known quality of the British people and, in particular, of the English people is their exclusiveness. This means, “I am English. You stay away from me. I am exclusive. I am quite happy to be myself. I do not need you. Leave me alone.” It is ve
145、ry difficult to know such a man who does not talk much, never says anything about himself, does not show much emotion and hardly ever gets excited.The English people are generally regarded as conservative. The Americans say that the English people always need 20 or 40 years to do things that they do
146、 today because the English people are so conservative that they have to wait for a long time before they are prepared to try something new. Englishmen think their way of doing things is always the best, and always the most normal.The right to privacy and personal freedom is unquestioned by the Briti
147、sh. Perhaps it is the lack of space that has fostered and maintained their fierce individualism. There is a common saying among the British people, “My home is my castle. The wind can come in, but the Kings and Queens and human beings can never come in without my permission.”4. The climate in the UK
148、 It is well-known that the English always go out with an umbrella or a raincoat. Why? It is because the weather in Britain often changes quickly. It is not very common for the same kind of weather to stay long.Spring can be rainy or windy, but the weather is getting warmer and you can expect more su
149、nny days. In fact there can be as much sunshine in spring as in summer. May is very often a lovely warm month in many parts of Britain. Parks, gardens and the countryside are green and full of flowers, so people can have a lot of things to do and enjoy themselves outdoors at this time of a year.Summ
150、er is the most popular time for visitors to go to the seaside and other scenic spots. The weather can be sunny and pleasant. People usually have outdoor activities such as swimming and outing. Autumn is a beautiful season, with tree leaves in the woods and parks changing to brown and red. It is a bu
151、mper crop season of agricultural plants. It is pleasant to be outside though the weather is constantly changing.Its cold in winter. It might snow, especially on high land in the north. Sometimes there are also storms and strong winds in the season.January and February are the coldest months of the y
152、ear, while the warmest are often July and August. The difference in temperature between winter and summer is not so great. The average temperature for winter is about 4.5 and for summer about 15.5. How interesting it is!5. Buckingham PalaceThroughout the centuries, Britains kings and queens have bui
153、lt or bought palaces to serve as family homes, workplaces and centres of government. Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence of Britains sovereigns (君主统治) since 1837. It evolved from a town house that was owned from the beginning of the eighteenth century by the Dukes of Buckin
154、gham. Today it is The Queens official residence. Although in use for the many official events and receptions held by The Queen, areas of Buckingham Palace are opened to visitors on a regular basis. The State Rooms of the Palace are open to visitors during the Annual Summer Opening in August and Sept
155、ember.The residences associated with todays Royal Family are divided into the Occupied Royal Residences, which are held in trust for future generations, and the Private Estates which have been handed down to The Queen by earlier generations of the Royal Family.6. Scotland Scotland lies to the north
156、England. The country has lots of mountains in the north, but the east coast is rather flat. There is little agriculture in the north and west. Although the farmers can keep sheep on the hills in summer, they also shoot wild deer for food. There are a good many lakes and rivers. Visitors go to Scotla
157、nd for their holidays to catch fish; there are also a lot of fish farms.Scotland is famous for its engineers. In the past, people from Scotland traveled abroad to build bridges, railways and roads. Ships were built on the coast, too. Now, however, the work has changed. Many foreign companies have bu
158、ilt factories in south Scotland where they make computers. Most Scots speak “Scottish English”. They use many different words.Edinburgh has been called “the Athens of the North”. Like Rome, it was built on seven hills. It is one of the cultural centers of Europe. It may not have the summer sunshine
159、of a Mediterranean city, but Scotlands capital still draws lots of visitors from all over the world.The best place for a tourist to begin touring the city is probably Edinburgh Castle, which looks out over the city from the high Castle Rock. The Rock provides wonderful views of the city and the land
160、 around it. It is not difficult to see why this is the place where Edinburghs history began.The Royal Mile in Edinburgh is a row of historic streets that have some of the most beautiful old buildings in Europe. It runs from the Castle to one of Edinburghs other main buildings. Through the years, the
161、 city government has helped this area keep its traditional character.Today, Edinburgh is famous for biggest arts festival on Earth. The Edinburgh Festival, which begins in August every year, brings musicians, singers and dancers and theater groups from all over the world. Besides the formal performa
162、nces, there is the Festival Fringe. For three weeks, Edinburghs streets are alive with fire-eaters and all kinds of strange and wonderful acts.7. A short history of IrelandThe island of Ireland is located off mainland Europe to the west and is part of a group of islands, which used to be known as th
163、e British Isles. But since the Irish Republic gained its independence in 1922, the term British and Ireland has come into use and is more as Cocles in the Republic.The English invaded Ireland in 1171 and ruled the country for centuries. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but it soon
164、grew discontented, and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the great headache of the British Parliament. In 1845, a disease infected most of Irelands potatoes and caused a famine (饥荒) that lasted four years. More than one million Irish people died from starvation and disease. Another million or
165、 so left Ireland for countries like the US and Australia.The island is divided into two separate political entities, originally created in the 1920s. Covering three-quarters of the island, and containing twenty-six counties, the southern state officially became Republic of Ireland in 1949 some time after it became independent from the UK in 1922 (first called Eire). The remaining six-county state covering the northeast corner of the island is called Northern Ireland and is part of the UK.
