教学过程与方式

Step ⅠRevision Have a dictation about the words and expressions that appeared in Unit 2.

Step Ⅱ Warming up Start the new unit by showing the students a picture:

T: Look! What do you think of the picture? Ss: It’s very funny! A wolf or a dog is jumping across the back of a sheep! T: Yeah! It’s so funny that we cannot help laughing about their acting. It makes us feel nice. Today, we are going to learn something about humour. The title is A taste of English humour. Do you know something about English humour? S1: I’m sorry.

S2: I know an English humour. T: Really? Please read it to us. S2: I’ll try. One day a patient went to see his doctor. He said to the doctor: “Doctor, I see double.” The doctor said: “Sit on the chair please.” And then the patient asked the doctor: “Which one?”

T: That’s really interesting! Thank you! In fact this is a kind of English humour, which we call verbal joke. Ok, here are some pictures. Look, who are they?

S3: It’s Charlie Chaplin. And I know picture one is from a film called The Gold Rush. T: Right. Who know the man in picture 3? S4: I dare say that everyone know him. He’s Mr. Bean, one of the most famous and successful British actor. T: You are right. He’s now recognized as the most popular British comedy expert. And how about the last one?

S5: It’s difficult to say. I guess he’s an American because the picture behind him looks like an American flag. T: Right. He is Mark Twain, the famous American writer. Do you know something about him? S6: He liked to make jokes with other people. T: Have you once read some? S6: Only a few. T: Can you bring us some next time? S6: Let me try.

T: OK, now, let’s look at the chart on Page 17. What does it tell us?

S7: From the table we can see that Charlie Chaplin is good at nonverbal humour; Mr. Bean is famous for his mime and farce; while Mark Twain was good at tell some funny stories. But I don’t know Edward Lear.

T: Right. Edward Lear is a famous British poet. His poems are funny. But they were all from daily life. Until now people also read them and enjoy them. Here is one of his short poems. Please look at the screen: There was an old Man with a bread There was an old man with a bread, Who said, “It’s just as I feared! Two owls and a hen, Four larks and a wren, Have all built their nests in my bread!”

T: In these two poems we can see that Edward Lear used a kind of magnification to make his poem funny. But because the sense of humour of English and Chinese is different, sometimes what they feel funny would not sound funny to us. But if you want to make fun of one of your friends, you can send them to him/her. They will be surprise to see these. Well, do you know these persons in the pictures? What are they good at? Nonverbal, mime and farce, funny stories or funny poems?

S8: Picture 1 is Chen Peisi. I think he is famous for his mime and farce. S9: Picture 2 is Zhao Benshan. He is famous for his Xiao pin. And he is also for his mime, I think. S10: The two persons in picture 4 are Liu Quanhe and Liu Quanlin. They are good at Ya ju (哑剧). T: Do you know the third person? No? He is the famous cross talk actor—Hou Baolin. When he was living, he was the most popular actor. Many of his works are the classic. OK, now can you finish the last column of the chart?

The Suggested answers: English humour Nonverbal Mime and farce Verbal jokes Funny stories Funny poems Step Ⅲ Reading on P22

The purpose of this reading is to introduce the kind of humour we can laugh at -verbal jokes. They use a “play on words” to be funny. Let the students read the three jokes and then match the joke with the explanation. T: Well, boys and girls, just now we learned something about English and Chinese jokes. Now let’s read some English jokes on Page 22. I’ll give three minutes for you to read them and then match the joke with the explanation. If you like, you may have a discussion. And then we’ll check the answer. OK, read them.

The students read and finish their task, and the teacher can show some other jokes on Chinese humour Pantomime (哑剧) 刘全和、刘全林

the screen. After they have finished the task, check the answer and ask them to enjoy the jokes on the screen. T: Have you finished the reading? Are the jokes funny? Ss: Yes, they are very funny. We’ve never found that English jokes so funny.

T: What’s the answer?

S11: The answer is 1 to B, 2 to C and 3 to A. T: Good. Now, please look at the screen. Here are more jokes on it. Read them and enjoy them. If you have some troubles in understanding, discuss, or ask me. Give the students some time to read the jokes. Patient: Doctor, I’ve lost my memory.

Doctor: When did this happen? Patient: When did what happen?

Anisha: Thank you doctor. My fever is gone. Doctor: Don’t thank me. Thank god.

Anisha: Then I’ll pay the fees to god.

A man with two red ears went to see his doctor. Doctor: What happened to your ears? Man: I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang but instead of picking up the phone, I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear. Doctor: Oh Dear! But ... what happened to your other ear? Man: The scoundrel (恶棍) called back! T: Funny? Ss: We’re laughing to death!

T: Don’t do that, another joke is waiting for you. Please read the neat joke on Page 22. And then finish the question followed. Give the students three minutes to do it.

T: Now decide which of these two kinds of jokes you like better. Give your reason.

S12: I find the first kind jokes are easier to understand. S13: Those jokes on the screen are the funnies ones, I think. S14: We must understand the background of the funny story at first, and then we can know what a humor Sherlock Holmes was. I think to understand this kind of jokes needs wisdom to understand. We must know that he was a detective, so he was always thinking of the things such as stealing.

T: What you said is reasonable. Now let’s listen to the tape, pay attention to the intonation, and try to bring out the humorous meaning. If time permits, the teacher can ask some students to act out the jokes. Step IV Speaking T: Now, we’ve learned some jokes and listened to some too. How about speaking out what you feel funny in class? I’ll give you five minutes to prepare this task, and then ask some of you to tell us your story. There are some steps for you to finish the task. If you think they are useful, follow them. Five minutes later. S15: My story is one day Lian Hong was standing by the window, talking with other students. Ren Xinglian came up. She wanted to make a joke with Lian and gave her a surprise. So she rushed towards Lian and kicked her at the same. But to all of us surprise, Ren slipped on the floor! Everybody laughed to bend their backs, me too. T: Me too! OK, this class is full of joy. We know that in our life, there are full of happiness, sorrows, boredoms, and joys. When we meet with sorrows or boredoms, don’t forget to read these jokes. Maybe they can bring you sunshine. Am I right? Ss: Yes. Thank you. Step V Homework T: Today’s homework is to preview the Reading material and finish the

Comprehending ahead. And I have a wish that at the beginning of each class, one of

our classmates can give us a joke, to bring smile into the classroom. Do you agree? Ss: That’s a good idea.

T: Let’s begin from Group one. One of you will tell a joke to us at the beginning of next class. Don’t forget it. Ok, class is over. See you next time.

Ss: See you.

Step I Lead-in 如何写幽默故事

Think of a funny English or Chinese story and tell it to your partner.

写作时应注意以下几点：

1. 确定文体：幽默故事大多属于记叙文。

2. 主体时态：文章以一般过去时或一般现在时为主。

3. 主体人称：第一人称或第三人称。

4. 内容要点：①故事场景；②展开情节；③意外结尾。

Step II 思路引导

写幽默故事首先要设计好故事发生的场景，即时间、地点、主要人物和发生的事。做好前文的铺垫之后，故事最后的点睛之笔（punchline）才显得既在情理之中又出乎意料之外。相声中称之为“抖包袱”，即把之前设置的悬念揭开，或者把前文铺垫酝酿好的笑料关键部分说出来。

写幽默故事时要注意前文的逻辑顺序，结尾处要与人们的生活常识或经历相矛盾，这样才能使人联系上下文体会到幽默所在。写英文幽默故事，还应注意东西方人思维方式的差异以及汉英语言文化背景的差异。

Step III 实战演练

根据所给的提示，续写故事，要有出人意料的结局。

A year ago, my grandmother was walking down the street, stopping from time to time to look in the shop windows. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【范文欣赏】

A year ago, my grandmother was walking down the street, stopping from time to time to look in the shop windows. At one store, she stopped to admire a dress in the window. Just as she turned to enter the store, a businessman, walking very fast and not looking where he was going, ran into her, knocking her down.

“Oh, I’m so sorry!” said the man. “Are you OK?”

My grandmother was too frightened to reply. But after a while she said she was fine. “Look!” she heard someone say from across the street. “An old woman just fell down!”

She quickly sat up and looked around with great concern and said, “Where?”

Fun stories A Letter to Girlfriend

One day a young man was writing a letter to his girl friend that lived just a few miles away in a nearby town. Among other things, he was telling her how much he loved her and how wonderful he thought she was. The more he wrote the more poetic he became. Finally, he said that in order to be with her he would suffer the greatest difficulties, he would face the greatest dangers that anyone could imagine. In fact, to spend only one minute with her, he would climb the highest mountain in the world, he would swim across the widest river, he would enter the deepest forest and with his bare hands fight against the fiercest animals.

He finished the letter, signed his name, and then suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to mention something quite important. So, in a postscript below his name, he added: “By the way I’ll be over to see you on Wednesday night—if it

doesn’t rain.”

致女朋友的一封信

一天，一个青年男子给住在离他几英里远的镇上的女朋友写信。除写了其他的事情外，他告诉她他爱她有多深，他认为她有多好，他越写越富有诗意。最后，他写道，为了能和她呆在一起，他将克服最大的困难，他将面对任何人能够想象的最大的危险。实际上，为了能和她呆上一分钟，他将爬越世界上最高的山，他将游过最宽的河，他将赤手空拳进入最深的森林同最凶恶的野兽搏斗。

他写完了信，签上了名，突然，他想起忘了写一件挺重要的事。因此，他在信末签名后又补充道：“顺便说一下，我将在星期三晚上去看你——如果不下雨的话。”

The New Baby

Mr. and Mrs. Taylor had a seven-year-old boy named Pat. Now Mrs. Taylor was expecting another child. Pat had seen babies in other people’s houses and had not liked them very much, so he was not delighted about the news that there was soon going to be one in his house too.

One evening Mr. and Mrs. Taylor were making plans for the baby’s arrival. “This house won’t be big enough for use all when the baby comes,” said Mr. Taylor.

Pat came into the room just then and said, “What are you talking about?”“We were saying that we’ll have to move to another house now, because the new baby’s coming,” his mother answered.

“It’s no use,” said Pat hopelessly, “He’ll follow us there.”

What is intelligence?

Two men were digging a ditch on a very hot day. One said to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?” “I don’t know,” responded the other. “I’ll ask him.”

So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. “Why are we digging in the hot sun and you’re standing in the shade?”

“Intelligence.” the boss said. “What do you mean, ‘intelligence’?”

The boss said, “Well, I’ll show you. I’ll put my hand on this tree and I want you

to hit it with your fist as hard as you can.” The ditch digger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss’ hand. The boss removed his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, “That’s intelligence!”

The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, “What did he say?” “He said we are down here because of intelligence.” “What’s intelligence?” said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, “Take your shovel and hit my hand.”
