Stepl 学习理解
活动一：感知与注意
1.Lead-in.
Ask students to look at the photo on the Opening Page and answer the following questions.
·How do you understand the quote "Try to become not a man of success,but try rather to become a man of value"
·Who is the woman in the photo ·Who is the man in the photo
·What's happening in the photo ·What's in their hands
Suggested answers:
·He is considered successful in our day who gets more out of life than he puts in.But a man of value will give more than he receives.At that time,success meant investment brought high return.But Einstein thought it was still unable to show the value of the person who could be a rather worthless individual.The value of a person lies to give to others,to be valuable to others.
【设计意图】通过让学生看开篇页给屠呦呦颁发诺贝尔奖的相片并根据对场景的观察回答问 题，为学生创设真实情境铺垫背景信息。此外，开篇页的名言引出主题意义：成为一个有价 值的人，为后续分析人物性格做好铺垫。
2.Ask students to look at the pictures below carefully and discuss the questions.
·What do you know about malaria
·What do you know about Tu Youyou
·Do you know how artemisinin was discovered
3.Before students read the text,ask them to discuss the following questions in groups. ·What kind of person makes great discoveries
·Which is more important for making a great discovery,talent or effort
Suggested answers:
·Most great discoverers are brilliant and hard-working.Many are perfectionists who are unwilling to accept anything but the best.
·I think both talent and effort are important for making discoveries.If a person doesn't have any talent,it is possible that even though he or she works hard,it will be difficult to succeed.On the other hand,people-even those with great talent-rarely achieve anything without putting in efforts.

·What numbers are mentioned in the text What do they suggest Why are they used ·What's Tu Youyou's attitude towards the Nobel Prize

Suggested answers:
·Over 200 million people around the world get malaria each year,and about 600,000 die from it..,and is thought to save 100,000 lives a year in Africa alone.→ Malaria is a big health problem and artemisinin is a vital part of the treatment for malaria.
Her team examined over 2,000 old medical texts,and evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties tested 380 distinct ancient Chinese medical treatments..After failing moe than 190 times,the team.→Tu Youyou and her team members are very patient,committed and persistent
The use of numbers makes the text more credible.
·Tu Youyou considers that the honour belongs to her,her team,and allthe people of her country and that the traditional Chinese medicine has great value.
·The title is short and concise,which is the characteristic of the news story.And the complete one is“Tu Youyou Was Awarded the Nobel Prize”.The ellipsis of“Was”and“the”makes it concise.
·Tu Youyou is considered a great person because through her efforts many lives have been saved.
【设计意图】通过再次评析标题，分析文本写作手法(比如数字的使用使文章更加可信，是 新闻报道的特征)等，进一步加深学生对文本的理解。
SteplII 迁移创新
活动六：想象与创造 1.A press conference.
Ask students to work in groups to prepare a press conference where Tu Youyou is to answer questions raised by different reporters.
Reporters→come up with at least three questions regarding information about Tu Youyou and the discovery of artemisinin.
Tu Youyou→give answers by using the information from the text as well as one's own understanding and interpretation.
Sample:
Reporter:It's my great honour to interview you.We know that your team discovered artemisinin which has saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world.What difficulties did you come across in the process
Tu Youyou:Our team met lots of hardships,such as how to draw out the extract,how to find out useful information from ancient Chinese medical texts,how to evaluate the medical properties and so on.
Reporter:Yeah,I know your team really met lots of troubles in the discovery of artemisinin.How did you overcome these difficulties
Tu Youyou:First,we must be very patient to review ancient Chinese medical texts to find traditional botanical treatments for the disease.We needed to examine over 2,000 old medical texts.And then we evaluated 280,000 plants for their medical properties.Finally,we found sweet wormwood useful to treat a fever.But we failed many times.Eventually,we use a lower temperature to draw out the extract.
Reporter:You are great!And your research did matter a lot to people around the world.How did you feel when you were awarded the Noble Prize
Tu Youyou:The honour is not just mine but belongs to our team and all the people of my country. It's indeed an honour for China's scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.
Reporter:I really admire you.You also set a good example for all of us!Thank you for your time!
