Unit3Couldyoupleasecleanyourroom?7单元主题导入比EXXI1 .小明放学后非要帮妈妈做家务,妈妈说你不会干,别捣乱,一边玩去,小明还是坚持要帮忙,说是老师给布置的任务,妈妈说:你们老师屁事真多!第二天,小明把帮妈妈做家务整个过程的日记交给了老师。2 .我曾经尝试过做饭,但每次我都会把厨房变成一个烟雾缭绕的战场。现在,我确信我的厨艺唯一能做的就是制作烟雾报警器。3 .有一次,我决定自己洗衣服。不幸的是,我把红袜子和白衬衫放在了一起。结果,我得到了一件粉色的衬衫和一堆淡红色的袜子。看来我在洗衣方面的创新精神比我想象的要强。4 .老婆总是说我不会做家务。有一天她不在家,我决定展示一下我的能力。我打扫了整个房子,甚至把家具都重新布置了。当老婆回到家时,她看着我,然后说:“你确定你是打扫了,而不是把家里翻了个底朝天?”5 .我试图拖地,但每次拖把都会比我先累。我猜它可能是在抗议我让它做的太多工作。6 .我尝试做饭,打开食谱应用程序,发现需要10分钟准备,50分钟烹饪。到现在我已经花了45分钟在决定做什么菜。7 .我发现了一种新的家务活动一一找东西。我妻子总是让我找她的钥匙、手机或其他东西。我想我应该把这个加到我的简历上,我现在是一名专业的“失物搜寻者”。8 .我妻子总是抱怨我不帮忙做家务。但我认为我在精神支持方面做得很好一一我总是鼓励她去看那些家务做得很好的电视节目。拓展阅读(一)【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报试题原创】Therearecertainthingsyouneverimagineyourselfsaying.Ijustgotaworminmyeye!”isoneofthem.AndyetIdidsayitIscreamedit,actually.Thefamilywasallhereandwewereinthegarden,whenIsawawormnearby.Iaskedmysix-year-oldgrandsontocomeoverandremovetheworm.Hepickeduptheworm,studieditquicklyandthenthrewitintotheair.Thewormquicklyfellbacktoearth,landingonmyfaceagainstmylefteyelid.That'swhenthescreamingYouknowhowtheysaywhenyoumeetasmallcreature,thatthesmallcreatureisjustasafraidofyouasyouareofit?Theylie.Thewormshowednofear.I,however,amstillhavingnightmaresabouttheexperience,whichwasseveraldaysago.Themostimportantthinginallthisisthatmygrandsonsaidhewassorrytome.djustbeenreadingabookthatmakesaconnectionbetweenadultsdoingtheslowandhardworkofteachingmannerstochildrenandgreaterlevelsofcivilityinsociety.Tablemanners,languagemannersandevenmannersindressallshowlevelsofself-control.Havingself-controllimitswhatwesayandhowwebehave,makingmanyofusappearagooddealbetterthanwereallyare.GoOdmannersalsohavethepossibilitytomakemealtimeapleasantexperience,evenwithsmallchildren.Allofmygrandchildren,excepttheonesthatcan,tyettalk,asktobeexcusedbeforeleavingthetable.Itisasignofrespectforothersatthetableandasignofrespectforthemealitself.It'salsomorepleasantthanpushingone'schairbackandrunningforthebackyard.Thosetallenough,andeventhosenottallenough,alsotaketheirdishestothekitchen.MannersarewhatcivilizeUSaroundourtables,inourfamilies,homesandourcommunities.Sowhenalittleboyhasthecouragetoapologizetoagrandmawhoisscreamingandjumpingupanddown,atleastweknowthatouryearsofteachingyoungpeoplemannersarepayingoff-onewormatatime.1.Whereweretheywhentheauthorsawaworm?A.Inlhehouse.B.Inthegarden.C.Inthepark.D.Inthebackyard.2.Thewormfelldownontheauthor'sA.legB.headC.IefteyelidD.righteyelid3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“nightmares"mean?A.好运B.噩梦4.
