He was the son of Zeus and Leto. According to Greek mythology, Leto was driven by Hera from land to land at last Poseidon took pity on her and brought the island of Delos out of water for her to live on. There she gave birth to the twins, Apollo and Artemis. Apollo was the sun-god. He wore a purple robe(长袍). He usually sat in his bright eastern palace early in the morning and made ready to start his daily journey across the sky. During the day he drove his carriage of gold and ivory (象牙), and brought light, life and love to the great world below. Late in the afternoon he came to the end of his journey in the far western sea and got on his golden boat to return to his eastern home. Apollo was the god of music and poetry. He could stir up all feelings. These feelings are expressed in lofty songs. With his lyre (古希腊竖琴) of gold and the sweet accents of his godlike he led the choir of the Muses at Olympus. The pleasant music from his lyre was so exciting that stones marched into their places in rhythmic time and of their own will when he helped Poseidon build up the walls of Troy (特洛伊城). On one occasion, invited to a contest by the human musician Marsyas, he won and then flayed him to death for his pride. On another occasion, he lost out to Pan at a musical contest and turned the ears of the judge, King Midas, into those of an ass(驴). His son, Orpheus, took over such skill from the father that his lyre moved man and animals alike. Apollo stood for youthful and manly beauty. His golden hair, stately manner and air all combined to make him the admiration of the world. A beautiful girl, by the name of Clytle, was so fond of his beauty and glory that from dawn to dusk she knelt on the ground, her hands outstretched towards the sun god, and her eyes looked at his golden wheeled carriage racing across the blue sky. Though her love was not returned, she had never changed her mind about Apollo. The gods were moved at the sad sight, and changed her into a sunflower.

It was New Years Eve and the snow clad streets were deserted. From brightly lit windows came the tinkle (发出清脆声响)of laughter and the sound of singing. People were getting ready to bring in the New Year. But the poor little match seller sat sadly beside the fountain. Her ragged dress and worn scarf did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare feet from touching the frozen ground. She hadnt sold one box of matches all day and she was frightened to go home, for her father would certainly be angry. It wouldnt be much warmer anyway, in the draughty attic (阁楼) that was her home. The little girls fingers were frozen with cold. If only she could light a match! But what would her father say at such a waste! Falteringly (迟疑地)she took out a match and lit it. What a nice warm flame! The little match seller cupped her hand over it, and as she did so, she magically saw in its light a big brightly burning stove. She held out her hands to the heat, but just then the match went out and the vision faded. The night seemed blacker than before and it was getting colder. A shiver (寒噤) ran through the little girls thin body. After hesitating for a long time, she struck another match on the wall, and this time, the glimmer turned the wall into a great sheet of crystal. Beyond that stood a fine table laden with food and lit by a candlestick. Holding out her arms towards the plates, the little match seller seemed to pass through the glass, but then the match went out and the magic faded. Poor thing: in just a few seconds she had caught a glimpse of everything that life had denied her: warmth and good things to eat. Her eyes were filled with tears and she lifted her gaze to the lit windows, praying that she too might know a little of such happiness.She lit the third match and an even more wonderful thing happened. There stood a Christmas tree hung with hundreds of candles, glittering (闪烁) with tinsel (金属箔) and colored balls. “Oh. How lovely! shouted the little match seller, holding up the match. Then, the match burned her finger and went out. The light from the Christmas candles rose higher and higher, then one of the lights fell, leaving a trail behind it. “Someone is dying, murmured the little girl, as she remembered her beloved Granny who used to say: “When a star falls, a heart stops beating! Scarcely aware of what she was doing, the little match seller lit another match. This time, she saw her grandmother. “Granny, stay with me! she pleaded, as she lit one match after the other, so that her grandmother could not disappear like all the other visions. However, Granny did not disappear but gazed smilingly at her. Then she opened her arms and the little girl hugged her crying: “Granny, take me away with you! A cold day dawned and a pale sun shone on the fountain and the icy road. Close by lay the lifeless body of a little girl surrounded by spent matches. “Poor little thing! exclaimed the passers-by. “She was trying to keep warm! But by that time, the little match seller was far away where there is neither cold, hunger nor pain.I Aims and Demands教学目和要求To learn a story about the little match girl written by Anderson.Key Points and Special Difficulties重点和难点Key points: to grasp some useful words and expressions deserted, fade, strike, hesitate, deny, exclaim, glimpse, aware, be frozen with, go out, strike a match, catch a glimpse ofSpecial difficulties: 1) to learn Inversion.2) to learn v-ed phrases used as modifiers Teaching Aids and Approaches教具及教学方法Multi-media, Task-based approach and the integrated approach Brief Teaching Procedures教学过程Step1 Background information背景知识Do you know about the great tale writer AndersonCan you list some of his masterpieces Step2 Fast reading快速阅读Read the passage quickly and answer快速阅读并答复以下问题:1) Why didnt the little girl strike a match to keep herself warm2) What did the little girl see when the last vision appearedKeys参考答案: 1) She was afraid that her father would be angry. 2) She saw her beloved grandmother who had died.Step3 Careful reading细读1.

The citizens of Hamelin were honest people who lived contentedly in their grey stone houses. The years went by, and the town grew very rich. Then one day, an extraordinary thing happened to disturb the peace. Hamelin had always had rats, and a lot too. But they had never been a danger, for the cats had always solved the rat problem in the usual wayby killing them. All at once, however, the rats began to multiply.In the end, a black sea of rats swarmed over the whole town. First, they attacked the barns and storehouses then, for lack of anything better, they gnawed啃the wood, cloth or anything at all. The one thing they didnt eat was metal. The terrified citizens flocked to plead with the town councilors委员会to free them from the plague of rats鼠疫. But the council had, for a long time, been sitting in the Mayors room, trying to think of a plan. “What we need is an army of cats!But all the cats were dead.“Well put down poisoned food thenBut most of the food was already gone and no poison stopped the rats.“It just cant be done without help! said the Mayor sadly.Just then, while the citizens milled around outside, there was a loud knock at the door. “Who can that be the city fathers wondered
