Kennedy, was killed by a gunshot when driving through Dallas, Texas. One Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination but was himself shot dead by an avenger. The assassination case left much doubts until today. The first moon landing The Apollo 11 mission took men to the Moon for the first time. On July 20th 1969, the American Lunar Module(登月舱) descended to the surface, and Neil Armstrong stepped outside the module. It is the first step that humans took on the moon. The module was named Eagle, after the American national bird. The successful mating of two pandas in an American zoo (1983) China gave the USA two pandas as a gesture of friendship in 1972. Since then Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing have became the stars of Washington’s National Zoo. The cub(幼兽) of 1983 unfortunately died just after birth. Their other cubs did not live long either. Ling Ling died in 1992, and Hsing Hsing in 1999. The reunification of West and East Germany in 1989 Germany was divided after its defeat in 1945. A wall separated East and West Berlin (the old capital of Germany). After that there was very little contact between the two halves of the city. This ended in 1989 when the wall was opened. The happy public began removing parts of it and the following year Germany was reunited as one country. The attack on the World Trade Centre in New York in 2001 On Sept 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked 4 passenger jets and crashed two of them into the World Trade Twin Towers, killing around 3,000 people. The third plane was crashed into a Washington building, The Pentagon, and the fourth crashed after passengers attacked the hijackers. Later on the US president Bush declared the anti-terrorist wars. The first manned Chinese space flight In 2003 the first manned Chinese spacecraft, the Shenzhou V sent Yang Liwei into orbit around the Earth, making China the third country to put a man into space. The successive space flights were hailed as miracles or milestone in China’s space exploration. The tsunami which hit Asia and Africa in 2004 An underwater earthquake near Sumatra(苏门答腊) in Indonesia caused a large tsunami (海啸 a wave that looks so high as it hits the land that it might be described as standing up) the day after Christmas in 2004. Around 225,000 people were killed on coasts around the Indian Ocean especially Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and Indonesia. Mouse chase In 2007, a white mouse was spotted running up the aisle of a Vietnam Airline’s plane bound for Japan. Dozens of staff were forced to catch the mouse, worried that it might chew through wires and caused a problem. By the time the plane took off, it had been delayed for more than four hours. Bridging information gap Group discussion Q1: Which of the above headlines interests you most? Why? Q2: Choose anyone of the above headlines and discuss whether it is newsworthy? Why or why not? Q3: What kind or kinds of story usually appear in the news? Q4: Why are people interested in the news? For teacher’s reference: Q4: Why are people interested in the news? Q3: What kind or kinds of story usually appear in the news? Text Organization Q1: Which words in the text impress you most? Among them which word do you think is the key word? Q2: How does the author organize the text by revolving around this key word? Flowchart of cohesion(连贯性) Individual work: Find out how information flows. Para 1: Such an event would have to be of enormous international significance. But this is exactly what occurred in 9/11. Para 2: But it is not just the historical and international dimension that made 9/11 memorable and newsworthy. It is the shock and horror, too. So striking, so sensational … Para 3: And so it is with all major news stories. Para4: So what exactly is news?... 9/11, in contrast, was not just international, but odd, unexpected and very human. Para 5: Odd doesn’t mean huge. Para 5: … Take the story in today’s China Daily… Para 6: Not an event with momentous international consequences, you might say, but there are echoes of the story across the globe… Para 7: Another element of newsworthy is immediacy. Para 8: When it comes to immediacy, those media have an enormous advantage over the press … This is why it is usual to talk of the “power of the media”… Para 9: But perhaps … this power is being eroded… Para 10: This doesn’t mean that the press and TV are going to disappear overnight, of course. Jigsaw reading Answer the following questions: Q1: Read the text and find out what historic events in the 9 headlines are interpreted in text. Q2: Read the text and find out reasons why a piece of news is newsworthy. Italics usage Italics can be used for a variety of reasons. They can take the place of quotation marks, to indicate the actual words someone said; to give emphasis, like underlining; to give the name of someone or something; to introduce a new and difficult word which the writer wants to define; and they can also be used to indicate that the writer is not using a word or phrase in the usual sense. Pair work: Activity 9, p47 I remember when I was in primary school the teacher rushing into the classroom, and announcing President Kennedy is dead. To take the place of quotation marks 2. So what exactly is news? For emphasis 3. Take the story in today’s China Daily. To give the name of a newspaper 4. Another element of newsworthiness is immediacy. To introduce a new term Text evaluation Discussion: Group 1-4 discuss Q1-4 respectively. 1. What do you think makes a story newsworthy? 2. In what way are the media powerful? 3. If anyone can publish news on the Internet, is this a good thing? 4. How do you think people will get the news in the future? For teacher’s reference: Q1: What do you think makes a story newsworthy? The passage talks of importance, unexpectedness, human interest and immediacy of stories. Perhaps we can add value as a lesson (a story about a fire caused by smoking might make us more careful; one about malaria might make us more conscious about anti-mosquito measures). There is also the question of relevance to readers: If you follow a certain sport, news of a famous swimmer saying something (which might be of no interest to most people) might excite you; seeing the name of their school will interest most people, and stories related to our hobbies and work will be welcome. Q2. In what way are the media powerful? By choosing: •​ Social purposes of the reports •​ Content of news: What news we hear or read •​ Reporting Angles: From what point of view the news is reported •​ Words or structures with implied meaning •​ They choose what news we hear and from what point of view. •​ They influence public opinion. Q3. If anyone can publish news on the Internet, is this a good thing? Q4. How do you think people will get the news in the future? Possible ways: ​ Mobile phones ​ Internet ​ Mini-multimedia devices ​ E-paper ​ Traditional newspaper ​ Audio newspaper Summarising Individual Work (1) Listen and read the summary of the text. Catch the key elements of each sentence. (2) Recall key words in the 2nd reading and key elements in the 3rd reading. 1st reading What exactly is news? The objective importance and the historical, international significance of an event is not enough. It is the odd, unexpected and human nature that made news like 9/11 memorable and newsworthy. So is immediacy which refers to the nearness of the event in time. When it comes to immediacy, those media like TV, radio and Internet have an enormous advantage over the press. However, no matter what form it may take, all the media, more or less covertly, influence the public. That is the so- called power of the media. In the new millennium, maybe the press or TV are not going to disappear overnight, but the power of the media may be eroded or at least devolved to ordinary people. 2nd Reading What exactly is news? The ___________ importance and the _______________________ significance of an event is not enough. It is the ________________________________ nature that made news like 9/11 memorable and newsworthy. So is ____________ which refers to the _________ of the event in time. When it comes to immediacy, those media like TV, radio and Internet have an ______________________ over the press. However, no matter what form it may take, all the media, more or less _________, influence the public. That is the so-called power of the media. In the new millennium, maybe the press or TV are not going to disappear __________, but the power of the media may be ________ or at least _________ to ordinary people. 3rd Reading What exactly is news? The _____________________ of an event is not enough. It is the ___________________________ nature that made news like 9/11 ___________________. So is _________________________________. When it comes to immediacy, those media like TV, radio and Internet ____________________________________ the press. However, no matter what form it may take, all the media, _______________________________ the public. That is the so-called power of the media. In the new millennium, maybe the press or TV _____________________________________, but the power of the media may be ____________________________ to ordinary people. Talking Points 1)​ When a dog bites a man, that is not news. But if a man bites a dog, that is news. John B. Bogart 2)​ News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read. And it’s only news until he’s read it. After that, it’s dead. Evelyn Waugh 3)​ News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising. Lord Northcliffe 4)​ Nothing travels fast than light, with the possible exception of bad news. Douglas Adams 5)​ No news is good news. Proverb For teacher’s reference: 1)​ When a dog bites a man, that is not news. But if a man bites a dog, that is news. John B. Bogart John B. Bogart: veteran journalist; city editor of the New York Sun from 1873 to 1890 and a master teacher of his day and often referred to as "the best city editor in the country 19 世纪《纽约太阳报》编辑约翰．伯卡特 Similar Expressions ​ You never read about a plane that didn’t crash. ​ You don't hear about the laws that a politician didn’t break. 2)​ News is what a chap who doesn’t care much about anything wants to read. And it’s only news until he’s read it. After that, it’s dead. Evelyn Waugh ​ News should attract audience. ​ News is for casual reading, and once read it can be forgotten. 3)​ News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising. Lord Northcliffe Lord Northcliffe •​ British newspaper magnate (巨头) •​ He was one of the most spectacular of popular journalists and newspaper publishers in the history of the British press; He founded the Daily Mail(每日邮报) in 1896 and the Daily Mirror(每日镜报) in 1903. •​ famed for buying stolid, unprofitable newspapers and transforming them into lively and entertaining one. ​ For a news story to have value it must upset someone; stories which are all praise are advertising. A rather harsh view and probably not true of ordinary local news, but is more likely to be so in the case of controversial matters and scandals. 4)​ Nothing travels fast than light, with the possible exception of bad news. Douglas Adams Douglas Adams •​ a British author, satirist, dramatist, musician and environmental activist •​ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series of radio plays and books •​ 英国著名的科幻小说作家，也是幽默讽刺文学的代表人物、第一个成功结合喜剧和科幻的作家 ​ People really rush to pass on bad news, implying also we are less interested in good news. Gossip about a break-up between pop stars will be known more quickly than their winning an award. (Ss may be able to give examples from their own lives of the truth or otherwise of this.) 5)​ No news is good news. ​ The same idea as above – If something bad happened you would hear quickly about it, so the absence of news means everything is all right. If a student is doing well, no one will call the parents; if there is trouble, they will. Active reading 1: Resources Difficult sentence But this is exactly what occurred in September 2001… (L4, Para 1) This 指代的是上句内容，即“世界各地的媒体都以头条报道同一新闻的情形并不很常见”。“what occurred in Sept, 2001” 为名词从句，作系表结构。整句意思为： There aren’t many stories which come top in newspapers all around the world, but the attack on New York was one of them. 但是这正是2001年9月恐怖分子袭击纽约世贸中心双塔之后发生的情形。 occur: vi. happen or exist 发生，存在 ​  That plane crash occurred only minutes after take-off. ​  空难在起飞几分钟后就发生了。 ​  Misprints occur on every page. ​  Crime can occur because of poverty. ​  犯罪可能因为贫穷而造成。 ​  The most fatal car accidents occur on Saturday. occurrence: n. something that happens事件 ​  a common/rare/regular/daily occurrence ​  这桥下发大水是常事。 ​  Flooding under this bridge is a common occurrence. ​  他的教室里难得有笑声。 ​  Laughter was a rare occurrence in his classroom. occur to: if an idea or thought occurs to you, it suddenly comes to your mind ​  It (suddenly/never) occurred to her that she might adopt a homeless child. ​  It did not occur to me to mention it. ​  The possibility that she might be wrong never occurred to her. It is probably not exaggerated to say that from that moment the world was a different place. (L6, Para 1) It is not exaggerated to say that… 可以毫不夸张地讲······ Similar structure: 1. There is not too much/no exaggeration to say that… 2. It is not unrealistic to say that… 3. I can say without exaggeration that… The world was a different place: 这个世界与以前不一样了。 或许可以毫不夸张地说，从那一刻起世界与以前不一样了。 So striking, so sensational, was the news that, years after the event, many people can still remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they first heard it. (L4, Para 2) An example of inversion (from the normal sentence the news was so striking and so sensational …). Fronting the adverb phrases so as to give them emphasis triggers a process of inversion. 这一消息极度震撼，极具爆炸性。事发多年以后，许多人还能清楚地记得他们第一次听到这一消息时身在何处、当时正在做什么。 Sensational: causing intense interest, curiosity, or emotion; appealing to one’s senses 轰动的，耸人听闻的 •​ Laser is one of the most sensational developments in recent years because of its applicability to many fields of science and its adaptability to practical uses. •​ 激光可以应用于许多科学领域，又适合于各种实际用途，因此成了近年来轰动一时的科学成就之一。 •​ Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the sensational, which feature crime, sex and gossip, to the serious, which focus factual news and the analysis of world events. •​ 美国报纸和其他国家一样，既有耸人听闻的小报，报道犯罪、色情和小道消息，也有严肃报刊，聚焦时事新闻， 分析 定性数据统计分析pdf销售业绩分析模板建筑结构震害分析销售进度分析表京东商城竞争战略分析 国际时事。 The objective importance of an event is obviously not enough—there are plenty of enormous global issues out there, with dramatic consequences, from poverty to global warming—but since they are ongoing, they don’t make the headlines on the same day. (L1, Para 4) 一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问 题 快递公司问题件快递公司问题件货款处理关于圆的周长面积重点题型关于解方程组的题及答案关于南海问题 ，都会造成戏剧性的后果，从贫困问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都会在同一天成为头条。 9/11, in contrast, was not just international, but odd, unexpected, and (in the sense that it was possible to identify with the plight of people caught up in the drama) very human. (L6, Para 4) 对比之下，9/11不仅具有国际性，而且奇特怪异、出人意料，还（可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的痛苦感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。 identify with：to feel that you can understand and share sb. else’s feelings 体会(某人)思想感情；理解并同情(某人)感受 Other Collocations of identify: identify sth. with sth. = to think sth. is the same with sth. 将······等同于······，认为······和······一致 be identified with sb./sth. = to consider sb./sth. to be connected with… 与······联系在一起 identify sb. as sth. = to recognize sb. 辨认、确认 Fill in the blanks with the correct phrases. 1.​ Most writers ________ mind _____ consciousness. 2.​ Americans were anxious to ___________________ the colonial authorities. 3.​ Children can be _______________ poor readers as early as 5 years old. 4.​ He is viewed as cold-hearted because he didn’t seem to be able to _____________ those people caught in that tragedy.

But TV news is not necessarily more objective or reliable than a newspaper report, since the images you are looking at on your screen have been chosen by journalists or editors with specific objectives, or at least following set guidelines, and they are shown from a unique viewpoint. By placing the camera somewhere else you would get a different picture. (L6, Para 8) 此句为转折句，给了三个解释概述电视新闻未必可靠的原因：目的特殊、设定的指导方针和独特的视点。 但是，电视新闻未必比报纸报道更客观或更可靠，因为你在屏幕上看到的图像是经记者或编辑根据特殊的目的，或至少是按照预定指示筛选过的；它们是从一个独特的视点展现给观众的。如果把相机移到别的地方，你就会看到另一番景象。 not necessarily: not always or not in every situation 未必比······更 1. —It ’s cheaper to buy a flat than a house. —_______________ . 2. — Why should we talk to those clients? —Our clients __________________ understand why we are raising our prices.
