Warming up by introducingHello boys and girls, today we are going to look at a flag. Then please discuss the questions. 1. What the Chinese and the English for the leaf? 2. Which country does the flag belong to? 3. Why the people choose the leaf as the picture of their national flag?2. Warming up by discussing1. If a class is made up of students ing from different countries, what do you think it is like?If it is a class made up of students from different countries, it must be difficult to tell one from another in terms of nationality. Maybe to some students, it is not easy to decide which country he belongs to because he himself and his father or his grandfather are born in different countries. But it must be interesting to be in such a class because you can meet different habits, different cultures and maybe different skin colors.2. If you are a member of one of this kind of classes, what language will you speak? And why?In this kind of class, I will not speak Chinese because other people will not understand what I say pletely and I will lose something amazing. Another reason is that you should respect other cultures. When some guys are talking something belonging to themselves, it is sure that they can use their own language, but it will make others misunderstood, and feel a little bit offensive. It is very impolite in a multicultural class. I am sure.3. If a country is a multicultural one, do you like it? And why?I like it because the multicultural feature suggests its attractive to people from the whole world. That means it is more fit for people to live in, and it can provide people a high living standard. Maybe people can find jobs easily and maybe they can enjoy good health care.3.

Reeve was born in New York City and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974, after which he was selected to study at Juilliard School of Performing Arts under John Houseman. Reeve worked on the stage, as well as on the soap opera Love of Life, until he was selected to play the role of the Superman in 1978. This film was a great success and inspired three sequels（续集）. Ironically, this was the kind of part Reeve usually looked down upon. He was a stage actor at heart who preferred doing classical period plays and films that really required him to“act.”He once said, “I want to challenge myself in my roles, not run around on screen with a machine gun.” In 1980, Reeve starred in Somewhere in Time, a time travel romance. Although this film was not popular at the time it was released, it has since enjoyed a nationwide“cult”following, especially among college students. In 1984, Reeve won critical cheers for his role as a 19th century southern lawyer in The Bostonians. On May 27, 1995, Reeve was paralyzed（瘫痪）from the neck down after being thrown from his horse and largely retired from the production of films after his paralysis. With his wife Dana, he opened the Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, devoted to teaching paralyzed people to live more independently. 1.
