一、教材分析

本单元的中心话题是“健康生活”。听说读写等活动主要围绕如何健身，怎样成为健康人展开，其中涉及许多社会热点问题，如抽烟、喝酒、吸毒、艾滋病、学习与工作压力等影响健康的棘手问题。通过谈论使学生认识到吸烟、喝酒、吸毒、不良饮食等对健康的危害，了解吸烟的危害及怎样戒烟。引导学生讨论这些问题，目的在于让他们远离有损身体健康的活动并养成良好的生活习惯。

1.Warming Up主要围绕健康问题和真正健康的人展开讨论。要求学生列举出更多类似的健康问题，然后在小组和班级范围内进行比较，说出哪个问题是最重要的，并列举出5个有关这个问题人们应该了解的知识。通过热身讨论，让学生懂得，一个真正健康的人不仅要体格健壮而且要心智健全。

2.Pre-reading要求学生讨论5个与吸烟有关的问题，为后面的Reading做铺垫。 主要让学生明白“抽烟有害健康”这一道理。中国是一个抽烟大国，我们周围许多人抽烟，有的人知道抽烟有害，但明知故犯，或由于生活习惯与压力，或由于周围环境与应酬的需要等，他们还为抽烟找出许多借口。联系实际讨论：为什么有些人要抽烟？抽烟有哪些危

害？

3.Reading是一封爷爷写给James的建议信，信中爷爷提到：他之所以能长寿和充满活力，主要得益于他健康的生活方式。爷爷年轻的时候也抽过烟甚至上过瘾，因此他知道上瘾容易戒烟难，并以亲身体会向孙子介绍了上瘾的原因、抽烟的危害和戒烟的方法，告诫孙子把烟戒掉。

4.Comprehending要求学生讨论几个与Reading内容有关的问题。第一个练习为讨论题，讨论“爷爷”是个什么样的人，学生可以用到以前学过的评价人物的词语。第二个练习是表格填空，主要帮助学生加深对课文的理解。第三个练习要求学生写一个劝告他人戒烟的提纲。

5.Learning about Language包括两部分：Discovering useful words and expressions是两个关于Reading中的一些词汇的练习；Discovering useful structures 是关于it structure的用法介绍和练习。

二、教学步骤

Step I Lead-in

This step is to lead the Ss to the topic of this unit―A Healthy Life.

T：According to your understanding，what a healthy life is like？And can you say some health issues concerning Chinese people？Work in pairs and have a discussion.

After about 3 minutes.

T：OK，who would like to present your discussions？

S1：Let me try. In our opinion，a healthy life should include two aspects，physical health and mental health. So a person who lacks either is not a healthy person. We think of several issues that may concern people most，they are：food security, medical service problems，AIDS and effects of environmental pollution on health.

T：Good points. Other issues concerning people most are：nutrition and health condition，medical emergency treatment，mental illness，false medical ads， medicine security and birth defects. Now turn to page 17，Warming Up. Here is a list of health issues that concern young people the most. Which issue do you think is the most important one？Why？Work in groups and have a discussion.

After discussion.

T：Which group would like to share your opinions with the class？

S1：We think that drug taking is particularly important. As we all know，drug taking does great harm to people’s health; it will gradually kill a person if he gets addicted to it. Buying drug costs a lot of money，so many drug takers sell out their fortune to afford the drug they need. And as a result, many families break up in this way.

S2：Our group takes smoking as the most important issue. The reasons are: smoking does great harm to people’s health，it causes damage to people’s lung and heart；smoking shortens people’s life-span；smoking not only does harm to people who smoke，but also affect the health of people around them，especially their family members.

Step II Pre-reading

T：I agree with you all. All these issues are important and need to be concerned. I am wondering if any of you smoke. Anyone？…OK.It seems nobody in our class smokes，that’s really good. I think you are all clear that smoking is harmful to health. But we know that some adolescents started smoking at very early years. Why do you think they smoke? Discuss in pairs.

Step III Reading and Comprehension

T：Good advice. Now we are going to read a letter from granddad to James. In this letter, granddad gives James some advice on stopping smoking. Let’s read and see if his advice is similar to yours. 5 minutes for you.

After 5 minutes.

T：OK. Time is up. After reading this letter, what kind of person do you think the granddad is？

S7：From his words，I think he is very kind and considerate. Suppose you

were his grandson, would you love to take his advice？

S7：Yes, I would love to be his grandson and take his advice. I would feel confident to give up smoking.

T：OK. Now let’s read the letter again and try to find out the answers to the following statements：

1.different ways people can become addicted to cigarettes

2.harmful physical effects for smokers

3.effects that a person’s smoking can have on other people

4.effects that smoking can have on sporting performance

After the Ss read the letter again, let them give their answers orally and then let them fill in the chart on page 20 with brief phrases and sentences.

T：Up to now，we have known how people usually get addicted to cigarettes and harmful effects of smoking on smokers and nonsmokers. But how can people stop smoking？Does James’granddad tell him how to stop smoking？

S8：Yes, he tells James how to stop smoking by sending him some advice he found on the Internet.

Step IV Text Analysis

T：After reading the text，who can summarize the main idea of each paragraph？ Volunteers？

S1：In the first paragraph, the writer tells about the life he is leading and the importance of healthy life.

S2：In the second paragraph, the writer leads to the topic of his letter by talking about James’ problem of smoking.

S3：The third paragraph introduces the three different ways of becoming addicted.

S4：The fourth paragraph is about the harmful effects of smoking.

S5：The fifth paragraph is about the writer’s hope for his grandson and his advice on stopping smoking.

Step V Vocabulary Learning

Help the Ss learn some words and phrases in the text. And let them do some practice：

1.I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.

2.… I became addicted to cigarettes.

3.… your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it ...

4.You can become mentally addicted.

5.But I did finally manage.

T：Now let’s deal with some new words and phrases in the text.

Step VI Homework

1.Make sentences with the words and phrases：due to，addicted to，accustomed to，mentally，manage

2.Search on the Internet or other sources for information about how to stop smoking.
