Part A  Reading Aloud

   The most ambitious map in history is taking shape before our eyes. And scientists are heading for the edge. It may be the strangest map you’ll ever see. And it’s bigger than you can believe. It’s a map of the entire universe. They’re even building pictures of the invisible. This is a map of everything we know. And it’s getting bigger every day. The universe is so big, we may never find the edge. Mapping the universe is a job for pioneers. Nick wants to put our entire galaxy on the map. He's on a single-handed mission, to photograph the Milky Way.

 

Part B  Role Play

情景介绍

角色：  你是校报记者Mary。

任务： （1）采访Mr. Brown的工作生活；

       （2）根据采访内容回答校报编辑的提问。

W: Mr Brown, do you find it difficult to wake up in the morning?

M: No, not really. I seem to wake up earlier and earlier. I usually get up at about 6:30, and I do about an hour’s work before the newspaper arrives.

W: What time do you have breakfast?

M: Oh, about eight, because I can watch the 8 o’clock news at the same time. My wife and I always have breakfast together, but the children are always late.

W: What time do they start school?

M: Nine fifteen. I drive them to school on my way to work. I’m often in a great hurry because one of them always forgets something.

W: When is your lunch hour?

M: Around one o’clock, but sometimes I have a light lunch at my desk and work right through.

W: 你什么时候下班？

M: Well, that depends, really. I generally finish at about six o’clock, but I go home a bit later. It’s useless going home earlier because of the heavy traffic. After I get home, I usually help my wife get supper ready.

W: 你们晚上有哪些活动？

M: The kids watch some of the children’s programmes. And we sometimes watch sports programmes. Normally after supper, we have coffee together and my wife reads to the kids. They go off to bed at about nine o’clock. I usually work for two or three hours every evening during the week.

W: 你经常带工作回家吗？

M: Yes, it’s unavoidable. Sometimes we invite friends for a meal to our home. Not usually during the week, though. And sometimes we go out to a show.

Part C  Retelling

 

A Friendly Neighbor

    Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s apartment was in a mess. It was full of boxes and luggage. They were very busy packing when they heard a knock on the door.

    Mrs. Brown went to open it and saw an old lady standing outside. The lady said she lived next door. Mrs. Brown invited her to come in and apologized because things were all over the floor and there was no place for her to sit. The lady said it was OK and she had just come to welcome them to be her neighbors in this building. Before Mr. and Mrs. Brown could explain anything, the lady added that in some parts of this city neighbors were not friendly at all and that some people didn’t know any of their neighbors, not even the ones living next door. It seemed to her that people in this building were very friendly and they were like one big family. At last, the lady wished Mr. and Mrs. Brown a happy life here.

   Mr. and Mrs. Brown looked at each other in great surprise. Then Mrs. Brown said “but Madam, we are not newcomers to this apartment. We have lived here for two years. We’re moving out tomorrow.”
