When he was 12 years old, his father caught a mental illness and killed his sister. Later, the family adopted a girl, naming her Chenchen. A year later, Hong's mother walked out because she couldn't stand the beatings from her husband.Hong has since shouldered all the burdens on his own. He had to split his time and energy into earning money, looking after Chenchen, treating his father, and educating himself. He took on a lot of part-time jobs, such as selling instant noodles (方便面),selling ball-point pens, books, potatoes, and so on. “Many people looked down upon me for selling then,“ Hong recalled, “But I didn't care.”After his stories were known by the public, he received a large amount of donation. He thought he himself had passed the worst time and there were many other people who needed help much more than him. "I think it is more important for a man to support himself and be strong. I want to be such a man, who brings opportunities to other people instead of myself.”He tried his best to return all of them. He put those from the donators who didn't leave their names into the fund to help others. But he insists that those who accept help from the fund must pay back the money after they pass the hardships. He says that the help which doesn't need to be repaid may be something selfish, because it may hurt a person's pride as a human.I Aims and Demands (教学目的和要求)To learn a passage about Hong Zhanhui and call on the students to learn from him-to support oneself and be strong.II Key Points and Special Difficulties (重点和难点)Key points:1) to describe Hong Zhanhui2) to grasp some useful words and expressionsadopt, mental, burden, recall, opportunity, in honor of, take onSpecial difficulties: Hong Zhanhui's virtues of never losing heart in face of hardshipsIII Teaching Aids and Approaches (教具及教学方法)Multi-media, Task-based approach and the integrated approachIV Brief Teaching Procedures (教学过程)Stepl Lead-in (导入新课)What do you know about Hong Zhanhui?Step2 Fast reading (快速阅读)Read the passage quickly and answer the following questions (快速阅读并回答下列问题): 1) When and where was Hong Zhanhui born?3) How did he support his family after his mother left?Keys (参考答案):1) In 1982, in Xihua County, Hunan Province.2) He took on a lot of part-time jobs to treat his father and educate himself.Step3 Careful reading (细读)1.

But the songs of Han Hong, a Tibetan-born young song-writer, are particularly beautiful because they're based on her own experiences and knowledge of the culture.Many people didn't expect Han Hong to become a famous pop star in China, for she didn't have the attractive look and slim figure that is usually associated with successful personalities in the pop industry. Despite discouraging comments, Han Hong has never given up her pursuit of a career in music. Now she has become famous for being one of the few all-around female musicians who not only sings well, but is a very successful songwriter.Han Hong was born in 1971 in Xigaze, the second largest city in the Tibet after Lhasa, and was given the Tibetan name, Gesang Zhuoma. Thafs why quite a number of her songs are deeply rooted with Tibetan culture and music traditions.At the age of nine, Han Hong came to Beijing to receive professional vocal training in a children's chorus (合唱团).This was just the start of the long way in pursuit of a professional musical career. In 1985, 14-year-old Han Hong won her first national prize in a singing competition.Han Hong's ambition goes far beyond just being a pop singer, though. She also writes her own music. She started composing songs in 1993, without having had any professional training. Maybe this helped her form her own style, which has become popular with so many listeners.Quite a number of Han Hong's songs combine elements of classical Tibetan folk music with pop music. Her songs have thrown a light on the mysterious and rich culture of Tibet and caused a lot of interest.The song Brilliant Rays on a Snowy Landscape (雪域光芒)is one of Han Hong's early works, which conveys the vastness (广博)and beauty of Tibet. It swept various pop song billboards across China, receiving more than 20 awards.As a pop singer in Beijing, she also tried different styles of music, such as Jazz, R&B, Rock and Roll and Latin music.I Aims and Demands (教学目的和要求)To learn a passage about Han Hong, one of the most popular Chinese singers and let the students know the reason for her success.II Key Points and Special Difficulties (重点和难点)Key points:1) to describe Han Hong2) to grasp some useful words and expressionspursuit, despite, personality, comment, professional, element, be based on, be associated with, be rooted with, throw a light onSpecial difficulties: the characteristics of Han Hong's songsIE Teaching Aids and Approaches (教具及教学方法)Multi-media, Task-based approach and the integrated approach Slide showIV Brief Teaching Procedures (教学过程)Stepl Background information (背景知识)Do you like listening to pop music?

Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt编写教师:杨玲莉Cleopatra was the regular name of the queen of Egypt in the Ptolemaic dynasty (托勒密王朝). The best known was Cleopatra XII. The name "Cleopatra" is Greek for "father's glory”; her full name, "Cleopatra Thea Philopator?, means “the Goddess Cleopatra, Beloved of Her Father.”Cleopatra Xllwas never in fact the only ruler of Egypt; she only co-ruled with her father, brother, brother-husband, and son. However, in all these cases, her co-rulers were king in name only, with her keeping the true power.Cleopatra was far from beautiful, although her image today is attractive. Her face on ancient coins had a long hooked nose and strong features. Yet she was clearly a very attractive woman. She had a musical voice and extraordinary charm. She was also highly clever. She was the first of her family who could actually speak Egyptian! She spoke nine languages and was a smart politician.At the age of seventeen she became the queen of Egypt, and ruled the country together with her 12-year-old brother. However, she dropped his name from official documents. And it was Cleopatra's face alone that appeared on coins. Perhaps because of her independence, she was removed from power in 48 BC. And she was soon forced to flee Egypt. She made preparations to recover her rights by force or arms.At this moment Julius Caser followed Pompey into Egypt. He was attracted by her beauty. In Rome Cleopatra lived openly with Caser as his wife until his death. Then she returned to Egypt.Later she became the ally (同盟)and wife of Mark Antony. Their connection was highly unpopular at Rome, and they were defeated in 31 BC. Having no prospect of final success, Antony committed suicide, and then Cleopatra did so in the thirty-ninth year of her age.With her ended the dynasty of the Ptolemies, Egypt was made a Roman province.I Aims and Demands (教学目的和要求)To learn a passage about Cleopatra, once the famous Queen of Egypt and get the students to know something about her life.II Key Points and Special Difficulties (重点和难点)Key points:1) to describe Cleopatra2) to grasp some useful words and expressions regular, extraordinary, charm, hook, politician, official, document, independence, remove, recover, commit suicideSpecial difficulties:to know about her life as a rulerIE Teaching Aids and Approaches (教具及教学方法)Multi-media, Task-based approach and the integrated approachIV Brief Teaching Procedures (教学过程)Stepl Lead-in (导入新课)Throughout history there are a few great women rulers.
