Or show the students two pictures, and let them find out the differences between the two pictures of the 2008 Olympic Games five mascot dolls by asking the students to tell the differences between the two pictures. This requires our finding ability.Secondly, show the students a short passage about the two pictures. And ask the students to find out the most important information. 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 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”. Step 2 Skills building 1: Finding informationOur aim of reading is to get information. In fact, in our daily life, it often happens. Then teacher shows the students how to find information in a long passage. (Show the two points on the screen. )Activity 1 IntroductionTwo guidelines to help you find information quickly: 1. Reading 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. Main points are the general ideas of the passage. And Key words can tell you the important and useful information such as who, when, where, howThe teacher may tell the students to highlight main points by underlining them and key words by circling them to find them easily later.Activity 2 PracticeLet the students practice finding the information from a long passage using the above guidelines.Show the following on the screen.Read the following two passages. Underline the main ideas and circle the key words.Passage 1Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have the hiccups(打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really dont know why they start and why they stop.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 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 getting 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 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. It was William Jefferson Blythe. His mother named his for his father, who had been killed in a car accident a few months before he was born. When Bill was four years old, his mother married Roger Clinton who then legally became Bills father. Roger Clinton and Bills mother had a son, Roger Jr.Bill Clinton studies international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington, D. C. He won a Rhodes scholarship to study at Oxford University in Britain. There, he met other students with whom he has continued life-long friendships. One of them is Robert Reich, who was just nominated to be Secretary of Labor. After Oxford, Bill Clinton earned a law degree at Yale University.In 1973, Bill Clinton became a law professor at the University of Arkansas, but he was too interested in politics to stay at the university. He campaigned for the House of Representatives but was defeated. In 1976, he was elected General for the state of Arkansas, the state governments chief lawyer.Two years later, Bill Clinton was elected Governor of Arkansas. He was defeated for re-election after his first two-year term. But he was elected Governor again in 1982. He has been re-elected to that office every two years since then.Bill Clinton married lawyer Hillary Rodham Rodham in 1975. She kept Rodham as her last name until it became an issue during her husbands 1980 campaign for governor. Since then, she has been known as Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Clintons have a daughter, Chelsea.Sample answers: Passage 1Main idea: Everyone has a favorite cure for a case of the hiccups.Key words: a good scare; eat a teaspoon of sugar; water with a knife; Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.1._ might be the best cure for hiccups.A.
