It's rather tiring walking around in a city. It’s worth making the effort．

It's no use crying over spilt milk. 归纳1：动名词作主语的用法

动名词作主语时，句子有两种形式：

①动名词直接置于句首主语的位置上。

②用形式主语it，把真正的主语——动名词结构移置句尾。但这种句子形式有一定的限制，作表语的只能是某些形容词或少数名词，如useful，useless，good，fun；no use，worth等。 Part2. Get the Ss to underline the sentences with v-ing form and then say out their function of v-ing forms. A.I can’t avoid going．

Have you considered looking for one special friend?

to, dislike enjoy，escape, excuse, feel like, finish, forgive, get down to, give up, imagine. insist on, keep (on), look forward to, mention, mind, miss（错过）, pay attention to, practice, put off, stick to, suggest等等。

3. 动词forget, go on, mean, regret, remember, stop, try, be used to, can't help后跟动名词和跟不定式区别较大，须注意。 forget, regret, remember后跟动名词，动名词表示已经发生的动作；后跟不定式表示将要发生的动作。

Step Ⅱ

Reading Task 1: Questions about the text. Show the questions on the screen: 1. What is the organic farming? 2. What is the advantage of using natural fertilizer? 3. What is the disadvantage of using chemical fertilizers? 4. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? 5. Why do farmers grow their crops in such ways? T: Boys and girls, today we’ll read the text one paragraph by one paragraph. Now please read the first paragraph quickly, and find the answer to the first question: what is the organic farming? S1: Organic farming refers to crops growing with natural rather than chemical fertilizers. T: Good. Now read the second paragraph quickly and find the answer to this question: what are the advantage of using natural fertilizer? S2: Make the soil richer in minerals and so more fertile. T: anything else? S3: Reduce diseases in crops and help them grow strong and healthy. Besides, keep the air, soil and water as well as the food supply free from chemical.

T: What is the disadvantage of using chemical fertilizers?

8

S4: Let me answer it. There are three disadvantages. Firstly, leaving chemicals in the ground for a long time is not good for the soil or the water supply. Secondly, farmers often grow the same crop year after year. As a result, the soil gets exhausted. Thirdly, chemical fertilizers kill both helpful and harmful bacteria and pests. Step3

Ch oose the Main idea of the passage Chemical fertilizers can cause many problems, so organic farming is becoming

more popular. Structure of the text 1

using chemical fertilizers for a long time can hurt the land and also people’s health 2

Problem caused by chemical fertilizers (1). Damage the land by killing the helpful bacteria and pests as well as the harmful ones (2). Lead to cancer or other illness. (3) Food grown with chemical fertilizers look beautiful, but inside there is usually more water

than vitamins and minerals.

3 Organic farming is becoming more popular with some farmers and many customers after

these discoveries came out. 4

Other methods to keep the soil fertile. IV Homework Finish exersices （课时作业五）
