Reading(1)：Stand up for your health!优质公开课教案

Studies show that laughter is something that makes you feel calm or relaxed for both physical and psychological wounds though it may seem futile to laugh in the face of pain and fear. When Dan Rather interviewed comedian Bill Cosby just one week after his son，Ennis，was killed，Cosby said，“I think it is time for me to tell people that we have to laugh.You can turn painful situations around through laughter.If you can find humor in anything，you can survive it.”

Call it a flashlight for dark times：laughter just seems to adjust the attitude better than anything else.Inspirational speaker Steve Rizzo recalls a TV interview with an injured firefighter a few days after 9·11.The man had fallen more than 30 stories in one of the towers and had broken a leg.Everyone was crying，and the reporter asked，“How is it that you’ve come out of this alive？” He looked at her and without missing a beat，said，“Look，lady，I’m from New York and I’m a firefighter；that’s all you need to know.”

“Everyone laughed though the laughter was only a couple of seconds，”

says Rizzo.“Sometimes that’s all you need to catch your second breath.Laughter gives you that couple of seconds.You’re sending a message to your brain，and the message is：If you can still laugh even a little among the pain，you are going to be OK.”

Of course，there is a difference between laughing off a serious situation and laughing off the fear that results in.The firefighter was doing the latter，states Rizzo，the author of Becoming

a

Humor

Being，and so should we.“If there is anything we have learnt from 9·11，it’s how precious life really is，” Rizzo says.“We have to send a message that our spirit won’t die.One important thing that unites us is our ability to laugh.”

阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F) 1．The writer uses the examples of the comedian and the firefighter to show laughter is a good way to get rid of pain and fear.(T) 2．We can infer from the passage that Steve Rizzo is a soldier.(F) 3．The underlined word “futile” in the first paragraph means “useless”．(T) 4．From the passage，we can know that Americans are really inspired after 9·11.(F)

do you think在句中作插入语，有类似用法的动词还有：hope，believe，suppose，guess，say，suggest等。常见的句型结构有：

句意为：——你认为她会选哪一个，蓝色的还是白色的？——难说，也许两个都不会选。由“the blue one or the white one”可知，这里有选择的范围，所以不能用what来提问。do you believe是插入语，特殊疑问句中有do you believe之类的插入语时，插入语以外的部分用陈述语序。

2．While this kind of humour may sound cruel，it usually only works if both the comedian and the audience have affection for or admire the person being made fun of. 虽然这种幽默可能听起来有点刻薄，但通常只有当喜剧演员和观众都喜欢或者崇拜这个被取笑的对象时，这种幽默才奏效。

3．One such person is Billy Crystal. 比利·克里斯托就是这样的一个人。

句中such为形容词，意为“那样的，这样的，如此的”。

(1)such作形容词，当它与数词或不定代词any，some，all，no等连用时，常置于这些词之后；但与不定冠词连用时，则置于不定冠词之前。

(2)such作代词位于句首时，句子需倒装，谓语动词的单复数由其后的名词决定。

(3)wherever，whenever，however引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter where/when/how。

(4)“no matter＋疑问词”只能引导让步状语从句。

(1)Whatever/No matter what you say，I won’t believe you. 无论你说什么，我都不会相信。

(2)I’ll eat whatever you give me. 你给我吃什么，我就吃什么。(引导宾语从句，此时，whatever≠no matter what) (3)Whoever comes will be welcome. 不管谁来都受欢迎。

[单项填空]

(4)He tried his best to solve the problem，

difficult it was.(2017·淮安中学高二检测) A．however

C．whatever

答案

A 解析

考查让步状语从句。句意为：无论这个问题有多么棘手，他都会竭尽全力去解决它。however(从句中作状语)与whatever(从句中作主、宾、表或定语)都可引导让步状语从句，相当于no matter how/what。difficult是形容词，修饰形容词或副词应该用however引导让步状语从句。故选A。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

(2018·盐城射阳陈洋、盘湾高二检测) As the nights get longer，those who suffer from the winter blues(冬季忧郁症) will be planning ways to escape to the sunshine.But there may be a much simpler way of cheering yourself up...simply by shining a bright light into your ear canal. Up to one in four Britons suffers from seasonal affective disorder (SAD)，with seven percent of the population having full-blown SAD.It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to produce serotonin，a hormone that regulates moods.Symptoms range from being mildly sleepy to depression and insomnia，but a cure might be in sight. Two clinical trials，run by Valkee who makes a device that can shine light into your ear and the University of Oulu in Finland，have found that carefully targeted light can help prevent the condition. Juuso Nissil，Valkee’s co-founder and chief scientist said，“We presented earlier that the human brain is sensitive to light.These two clinical trials demonstrate that channeling bright light via the ear canal into the brain’s photosensitive areas effectively prevents and treats seasonal affective disorder.”

The University of Oulu reported that in their first study,92 percent of the patients with B．keep D．regret B．short D．necessary B．showed D．allowed

seasonal affective disorder achieved full remission(缓解) after a month of daily 8-

to 12-minute doses of light from Valkee. Timo Takala，chief physician at the Oulu Deaconess Institute said，“These two trials show that bright light channeled into the brain via the ear canal is an important future method of treating seasonal affective disorder.”

Valkee launched its bright light headset in August 2010.It is classed as a medical device under EU regulations. The device channels bright light direct to the brain via the ear canal to prevent and cure depression，mood swings and even circadian rhythm disorders such as jet lag. It costs ￡185 and looks like an iPod—only the earphones emit light rather than sound. Anyone wanting to copy the effects with a flashlight is likely to be disappointed，as it emits the wrong kind of light that is apparently too yellow. 语篇解读

本文为说明文。一项新的研究表明，将一束亮光射进你的耳道就能让你的心情好起来。

31．What can be inferred from the first two paragraphs? A．Light as well as sound is essential for curing SAD. B．Receiving enough daylight makes for a good mood. C．There’s a long way to go for curing SAD thoroughly. D．The number of Britons having SAD continues growing. 答案

B 解析

推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Up to one in four Britons suffers from seasonal affective disorder(SAD)．..It is caused by the brain not receiving enough daylight which is needed to produce serotonin，a hormone that regulates moods.”可知，如果大脑未接收到足够的阳光，会影响身体产生一种能够调节情绪的荷尔蒙，进而引起季节性情感障碍，由此可推知，充足的阳光会促成愉快的心情。故B项正确。

32．What can the bright light headset do? A．Produce more serotonin to reduce winter blues. B．Help one to recover from physical problems. C．Make people in a low mood feel better. D．Turn yellow light into bright light. 答案

C 解析

细节理解题。根据全文内容，尤其是倒数第三段可知，这种装置会使情绪低落的人的心情变好。

33．What can be the best title of the passage?

A．Shine a light in your ear—brighten your mood in winter B．Keep the sunshine in your heart—enjoy a colorful life C．The most efficient way to prevent and cure SAD D．The harmful effects caused by SAD 答案

A 解析

标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现：将一束亮光射进耳道就能让人们的心情好起来。故A项作文章标题最为贴切。本题易误选C项。文章倒数第三段确实提及这种将光射入耳道的装置会帮助人们预防和治愈一些疾病，但并未说明这种方法是“最有效的(most efficient)”，故排除。
