3、o, teacher. In last unit we learnt some great women. Today well learn a famous man. Who will it be? At first lets look at the two pictures on Page 9. What are the people doing? They are planting rice. Can you tell me something about rice?S: Rice grows in the south. But in some place of the north we

4、can also find rice. Yeah. You are right. In fact rice is a cereal grain that has been grown for at least 5,000 years and is eaten by 2.4 billion people everyday throughout the world. In Australia, farmers have had to struggle with their harsh environment to grow rice. Really?Step Warming up Have you

5、 ever grown any plants? If so, what did you do to grow them? If not, what kind of plant would you like to grow? How will you grow it? I have ever grown corn and potatoes. In autumn, my father and I ploughed the soil deep for the first time, then in the next spring, we ploughed the soil for a second

6、time, this time I put the corn seeds into the tunnel following my father. Finally my father covered the corn seeds by ploughing again. I never grow any plant. Id like to plant sunflowers. They look beautiful. They always face the sun when they are young. I dig some holes in my garden, put some sunfl

7、ower seeds in them, water them and finally cover them with some more soil. Very well. Have you ever been to the countryside? What did you do there?S5: Yes, I went there to see my grandfather. In the village I played with other boys in the little stream and caught little fish. I even helped my grandf

8、ather get in the corn by cutting the corn stems, which made me tired. Are you from a farmers family? What do you know about farming? Yes, my father is a farmer. In my view, farming is hard work. People have to plant crops, smooth away weeds and get in the crops at the right time. They have to get up

9、 early to work in the field so as to protect themselves from the sunshine. Thats right. In the north, the biggest worry that farmers have is the drought. When it doesnt rain, and they cant irrigate the crops, the crops will die and they will have nothing after hard working.Step Pre-reading The purpo

10、se of this step is to let students know the importance of rice.

Food is the basic need for man. Rice is a main food in all Easte

11、rn Asian and Southeastern Asian countries. It is said that there are 2.4 billion people to eat rice everyday throughout the world. What do you think would happen if tomorrow there was suddenly no rice to eat? I think if that happened, people there would suffer from starvation. They would be panic an

12、d the whole country would get into trouble. Maybe the situation that human beings eat human beings will happen. Thats too terrible. But this kind of thing once happened in history. Well, if you had the chance to do one thing to help end famine in the world, what would you do? I would invent a new ki

13、nd of plant to produce more food. Ill make a kind of fertilizer to give rice enough nutrition and let them grow quickly and have high product. But first without pollution to our environment.
