The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews. So expressing curiosity about the guests’ past life is a communicative skill, which students should be guided to learn.1. Students can get detailed information about how Yang Liwei became an astronaut and Max’s space life.2. Students learn to proper listening strategy to get detailed information---listening for numbers and taking notes.3. Students can learn related sentences or phrases to express their curiosity like “ I wish to know...” “I’d love to know...”4. Students can learn more about the space and astronauts, even be interested in working hard to be an astronaut
The theme of this unit focuses on “space exploration.” Students will learn about the training and experience needed to become an astronaut. The text is mainly about the development of space exploration. On the one hand, the text helps students to have a good understanding about the great feats humans have achieved, on the other hand, they will further understand the contributions that we Chinese have achieved, and feel confident and proud about our homeland and strengthen their love for our country. The teacher should instruct students to aim high and study harder to make great progress in the space career if possible.1. Read about the development and value of space exploration.2. Explore the mysteries of the universe and the achievements in space exploration.3. Skillfully use the vocabulary of this text to cultivate self-study ability 4. Develop cooperative learning ability through discussion.1. Enable the Ss to talk about the development and value of space exploration.2. Guide the Ss to summarize the main idea of each paragraph as well as the main idea of the text.3. Help Ss comprehend the main reasons for space exploration. Multi-media, textbook, notebooks.Step 1: Warming up and predictionLook at the title and the pictures of the text and predict what the text will be about?2. What are the main reasons for space exploration?

Everybody wants to get wealth.In today’s material world,making money or becoming wealthy symbolizes a person’s success and capability. Many people just make every effort, pay any price to attain greater wealth. With money,they can buy nice, large apartments in nice neighborhood. With money they can own luxurious cars. Wealth seems to bring all happiness in life.But is wealth the only road to happiness? Not really. There are many things in the world, which are beyond the means of money, such as friendship, love, health and knowledge. People are so preoccupied with struggling for money that they have no time or would not take the time to form or maintain friendship. What happiness can they feel living as lonely miserable creatures without love or friends in the world even if they accumulate tremendous wealth?In my opinion, people can’t do anything without money, but money is not everything. What money will bring you depends on your personal belief and goal in life. If you are kind enough to help others, especially the poor, money is a good thing to you. With it, you can do much more for the benefit of people and your country, and it will add to your own happiness. If you want money just for your own needs, you’ll never be satisfied or happy. In a word,you should have money spent for more people. Only then can money be the source of your happiness.Step 8 Homework4 students in a group, one acts Roderick, one Oliver, one servant and the fourth one acts Henry Adams, then listen to the tape, pay more attention to the difference between American English and British English in pronunciation, stress, tone.

二、典例解析例4. 用 10 000元购买某个理财产品一年.(1)若以月利率0.400%的复利计息,12个月能获得多少利息(精确到1元)?(2)若以季度复利计息,存4个季度,则当每季度利率为多少时,按季结算的利息不少于按月结算的利息(精确到10^(-5))?分析:复利是指把前一期的利息与本金之和算作本金,再计算下一期的利息.所以若原始本金为a元,每期的利率为r ,则从第一期开始,各期的本利和a , a(1+r),a(1+r)^2…构成等比数列.解:(1)设这笔钱存 n 个月以后的本利和组成一个数列{a_n },则{a_n }是等比数列,首项a_1=10^4 (1+0.400%),公比 q=1+0.400%,所以a_12=a_1 q^11 〖=10〗^4 (1+0.400%)^12≈10 490.7.所以,12个月后的利息为10 490.7-10^4≈491(元).解:(2)设季度利率为 r ,这笔钱存 n 个季度以后的本利和组成一个数列{b_n },则{b_n }也是一个等比数列,首项 b_1=10^4 (1+r),公比为1+r,于是 b_4=10^4 (1+r)^4.
二、典例解析例3.某公司购置了一台价值为220万元的设备,随着设备在使用过程中老化,其价值会逐年减少.经验表明,每经过一年其价值会减少d(d为正常数)万元.已知这台设备的使用年限为10年,超过10年 ,它的价值将低于购进价值的5%,设备将报废.请确定d的范围.分析:该设备使用n年后的价值构成数列{an},由题意可知,an=an-1-d (n≥2). 即:an-an-1=-d.所以{an}为公差为-d的等差数列.10年之内(含10年),该设备的价值不小于(220×5%=)11万元;10年后,该设备的价值需小于11万元.利用{an}的通项公式列不等式求解.解:设使用n年后,这台设备的价值为an万元,则可得数列{an}.由已知条件,得an=an-1-d(n≥2).所以数列{an}是一个公差为-d的等差数列.因为a1=220-d,所以an=220-d+(n-1)(-d)=220-nd. 由题意,得a10≥11,a11<11. 即:{█("220-10d≥11" @"220-11d<11" )┤解得19<d≤20.9所以,d的求值范围为19<d≤20.9
