Teaching procedures: Step1：Lead in 1.Can you name these great comedians? 2.Introduce Rowan Atkinson,a well-known British comedian; famous for the character Mr. Bean. Mr. Bean is funny because he makes funny faces, he acts stupidly, he seems to be quite silly, and the things he does are strange. 3. A joke for the Ss to enjoy. A joke usually makes you laugh, and there are other things that will make you laugh. Besides the forms we mentioned above, what else can make us laugh? 喜剧的幽默能激发学生的学习热情，让学生从熟悉的中国喜剧笑星到外国的憨豆先生熟悉本单元的话题Laughter并适时地通过与学生的对话引出本课的话题stand-up，然后从一个图文并茂的笑话入手，引起学生的兴趣，接着再问起还有哪些形式会引人发笑也就顺理成章。在这个过程中引入“stand-up”这个概念很容易引起学生的好奇，为下一步的阅读做好铺垫，并有利于他们对课文的理解.

Step2:Fast reading for structure Part1:General_____________ to stand-up

Part 2: _____ of stand-up Part3:A famous ____________(Billy Crystal)

Part 4: Laughter ____________ your health 让学生通过阅读第一段和小标题获取文章主体意思，既可以避免学生长时间阅读的沉闷，又可以引导学生对文章首段和小标题的关注，有利于其阅读策略的养成。

Step 3: Reading for details Part1:General__introduction__ to stand-up 1 What is stand-up？

2.Where is stand-up comedy usually done？

laugh?

2.What is the English idiom about laughter mentioned in the text?

因为课文本身的四个部分相对独立，让学生分部分阅读有利于学生注意力的集中和教师的有效引导。“Types of stand-up”部分让学生根据原文找到四种不同类型之后，再即时应用，让学生再运用中真正理解文本内容。“A famous comedian”部分让学生填写Billy Crystal的档案，有利于学生有条理的寻找所需要的信息，并且教师在这一部分补充一定的其他信息，让学生所了解到的人物更完整和丰满。“Laughter is good for your health”部分比较简单，主要让学生了解“笑有利于健康”并知道为什么就可以了，因此可以简单处理

Step4: Summary and discussion

How can we bring more laughter to our life（how to be happy）?
