KEY CONCEPTS
FOCUS STRUCTURES:
As for me, I'm going to choose the most fun and exciting job in the world.
Step 1: Present
INDEPENDENT/PAIR/CLASS WORK: Think About It
1)Ask the students to work independently and write down their answers to the Think About It questions.
2) Have the students share their answers with a partner and then the class.
3)As a class, make a list of possible future jobs and discuss what it takes to succeed.
EXAMPLE:
What do you need to do to succeed 1. Know what your skills and talents are.
2. Choose a job that interests you and suits your talents.
3. Come up with a plan that will help you get that job.
4. Follow your plan and do NOT doubt yourself. 5. Be confident and focused, and you will succeed.
Step 2: Read
GROUP WORK: Let's Do It! No.1
1)Instruct the students to read Lesson 55 and complete the exercise in groups of four.
2)Discuss the answers as a class and go over the mastery words and phrases for this lesson.
Step 3: Practice and Play
PAIR WORK: Let's Do It! No.2
1) Instruct the students to find all the words in the word search and write them down.
2)Then have the students play Translation Match Up using the words they found in the word search. 3)Divide the class into pairs. Each pair of students should have an English-Chinese dictionary to complete this task.

LANGUAGE NOTES
1. Look into the Future展望未来
look into在此处的意思是“观察”。它还有“朝里面看；调查；浏览（书籍、资料等）”的意思。例如：
I noticed Tom looking into a shop window.我注意 到汤姆正在往商店的橱窗里看。
The police are looking into the accident.警方正在 调查那起事故。
You'd better look into the novel, and get its main idea.你最好翻阅一下这部小说，了解其主题思想。2. What do you want to be when you grow up, Jenny？詹妮，长大后你想干什么？
grow up的意思是“长成；成熟；发展”。例如：The little girl has grown up to be a beautiful woman. 那个小女孩已经长成了美丽的女人。
China's agriculture is growing up quickly. 中国的农 业正在快速发展。
3. I love to travel, and it would be fun to fly an airplane.我喜欢旅行，开飞机旅行会很有趣。
I want to be a boss and manage a big company. I could make a lot of money. 我想当老板管理一家大 公司。我会赚很多钱。
I'd like to be a transportation engineer. I would invent things that help improve the environment. Maybe I could invent a solar powered plane.我想要 当运输工程师。我将发明有助于改善环境的交通工具。或许我会发明太阳能飞机。
以上句子中的could，would都是表示推测的情态动词。表示推测的情态动词，其所指时间几乎总是“现在”，即说话人的主观看法总是以现在时间为基点的。它们所表示的可能性大小，一般说来might 最低，must最高，由低到高的顺序大致是：might(可能)→may(可能)→could(可 能)→can(可能)→should(应该会)→ought to(必然)→would(会)→will(会)→must(一 定）。说话人推测的事件所发生的时间，要根据不定式所采取的形式而定，可以是现在时间和过去时间，也可以是将来时间。一般说来，情态动词之后的不定式若不是完成式，则表示现在时间或将来时间。例如：
He must be there.(=I'm sure(that) he is there.)他 一定在那里。
Our team might win the race. (=It is possible that our team will win the race.)我们队可能在赛跑比 赛中获胜。
He must be there.(=I'm sure(that) he is there.)他 一定在那里。
Our team might win the race. (=It is possible that our team will win the race.)我们队可能在赛跑比 赛中获胜。
He must be working at the office. (=I'm sure that he is working in the office.)他一定正在办公室里工作。 4. Well, I don't doubt you would be a good boss, but I don't think wealth is the most important thing in life.我肯定你会是一位好老板，但我认为钱不是生活中最重要的。
doubt后接宾语从句时，如主句为肯定句，用whether 或if连接；如主句为否定句或疑问句，用that连接。在这样的结构中，doubt的意思是“怀疑，不相信，不信任；不能肯定，对···没准儿”。例如：
I doubt whether/if he is clever.我怀疑他是否聪明。 I don't doubt that he will be successful.我肯定他会成功。
Do you doubt that I love you 我爱你，对此你有 怀疑吗？
doubt 在肯定句中也可接 that 引导的宾语从句，此时它的意思是“认为···未必可能”。例如：I doubt that Danny will be a good boss.我看丹尼未 必会当个好老板。
5. As for me, I'm going to choose the most fun and exciting job in the world.至于我，我打算选择世 界上最有趣、最激动人心的工作。
as for的意思是“至于；关于”。例如：
As for the thief, he was caught by the police.至于 那个小偷，他被警察抓住了。
As for my achievement, I have much to say.关于我 的成就，我有很多要说的。
6. Astronauts need to know a lot about science, Danny.丹尼，宇航员需要懂得很多（知识）。
lot在本句中用作名词，a lot的意思是“大量：许多”。表示“大量（许多··）”时，后接of短语，of后的名词既可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词。例如：
He has a lot (of things) to do today.今天他有很多 事要做。
She has a lot of money.她有很多钱
These boys get lots in common.这些男孩子有许多 共同之处。
There's lots of juice left.还剩下很多果汁。 There are lots of bottles on the table.桌子上放着许多瓶子。
a lot还可以用作副词，可以修饰形容词和副词的
比较级。例如： Thanks a lot.多谢。
He waited a lot when he saw the doctor.他看病时 等了很久。
The patient felt a lot better.病人觉得好多了。 I am a lot taller than your brother.我比你弟弟高多 了
