Paragrph2:

In 1858 an area of poor housing, factories and farm buildings was torn down and Central Park was created, reaching from 59th Street to 110th Street.

Paragraph3:

In 1892 the age of mass arrivals began, during which 15 million new people passed through Ellis Island into the USA over a period of 62 years.Today Ellis Island is a museum, showing the roots of America’s new citizens, who came from all the corners of the earth.

Paragrah5:

New York never sleeps. The underground railway runs 24 hours a day, and there are all-night cinemas,bars and restaurants. Some people think that the weather is unpleasant,the city ugly and dirty, the competition fierce and the streets unsafe.It is a city in a hurrry, but a very exciting place to be.

B.Language points:

1.It is a city in a hurrry, but a very exciting place to be

現(xiàn)在分詞和過去分詞在意義上不同。一般說來，現(xiàn)在分詞表示主動的意義，過去分詞表示被動的意義。

試比較：

1)an exciting game:一場激動人心的球賽（球賽使人激動）

excited spectators 激動的觀眾。（觀眾被激動）

2)a moving film:一個動人的影片（影片使人感動）

a moved audience.一常被感動了的觀眾。（觀眾被感動）

2.the competition fierce and the streets unsafe.

1) violent and angry: fierce dog,winds,attacks

have a fierce look.

2)intense: fierce concentration

3)unpleasantly or uncontrolled strong: fierce heat.

His plan met with fierce opposition.

3. In 1626 the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians, Native Americans, for a handful of goods worth about $24. Today Native Americans express their anger over this business deal.

A.worth:adj 形容詞 be worth:動詞

英語的一個簡單句中必須要有一個動詞，be worth做動詞時不能漏掉be. 而worth做形容詞修飾名詞的用法，老師們要提起注意，也許會成為高考的考點。

I paid only $4000 for this used car but it’s worth a lot more.

B.deal: n.名詞agreement,esp in business. 協(xié)議，交易。

They both wanted to use the car, so they did a deal.(=reach a compromise)

It’s a deal.(=I agree to your terms.我同意你的條件)

StepIV.Writing a composition:

The fierce wars between the new settlers and the local Indians broke out.Settlers made agreements with Native Americans chiefs but always broke them afterwards.At last, they came to a deal: The Native Americans were forced onto the poor land that the settlers did not want.

Passage 2:

To our surprise,the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians for a handful of goods worth about $24. Even today Native Americans express their anger over this business deal.In 1858 an area of poor housing was torn down and Central Park was created.

Put any useful notes and key words that arise out of this discussion on the Bb. Teach the new words skyscraper, avenue, etc. Get Ss to talk about the picture and describe what they can see.
