Unit 4 Exploring literature Period 1 Welcome to the unit & Reading(1) Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。 Literature is an important part of a total language arts programme at all grade levels because of the many benefits it offers. Literature provides pleasure for listeners and readers. It is a relaxing escape from daily problems, and it fills leisure moments. Making time for recreational reading and using high­quality literature help to develop enthusiastic readers and improve achievements. Developing a love of literature as a recreational activity is possibly the most important outcome of a literature programme. Literature builds experience. Through reading, children expand their horizons through vicarious(间接感受到的) experiences. They visit new places, gain new experiences, and meet new people. They learn about the past as well as the present and learn about a variety of cultures, including their own. They discover the common goals and similar emotions found in people of all times and places. Nory Ryan's Song by Patricia Reilly Giff, a hard survival story, is set in Ireland during the potato hunger of 1845, and Patricia Polacco's The Butterfly, deals with Nazis, resistance, and Jewish persecution(迫害) during World War Ⅱ. Literature provides a language model for those who hear and read it. Good literature exposes children to correct sentence patterns, standard story structures, and varied word usage. Children for whom English is a second language can improve their English with the interesting context, and all children benefit from new vocabulary that is woven into the stories. Literature develops thinking skills. Discussions of literature bring out reasoning related to sequence, cause and effect, character motivation, predictions, visualization of actions, characters and settings, critical analysis of the story, and creative responses. Literature helps children deal with their problems. By finding out about the problems of others through books, children receive insights into dealing with their own problems, a process called bibliotherapy. Children might identify with Gilly, living angrily in a foster home in Katherine Paterson's The Great Gilly Hopkins, or with Mary Alice, a city girl forced to live with her grandma in a “hick town” in Richard Peck's A Year Down Yonder. 一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 (　　) 1.

Ⅱ. 七选五。 Why does rain seem to make you sleepy? This spring on the east coast of the US, it feels like we've lost touch with the sun. In Washington, D．C., 14 of the first 17 days of May were rainy. __1__ It means that for me, May has been one of the months I've felt the sleepiest. The dull weather can hit almost all of our senses in a way that gives a sign to us it is time for a nap. First, there's what we see—or rather, what we don't. __2__ When it's raining and skies are cloudy, we miss out our body's internal alarm clock. As Naomi, a scientist from Central Queensland University said, when you don't see the sunlight first thing in the morning, your body never gets the signal that it needs to shift into daytime mode. __3__ Plants produce oils during dry periods, possibly to stop seeds from developing. When it rains, the water brings out the oils and they mix with a chemical to create a “musky” smell. __4__ Additionally, after a thunderstorm there's a chance that you may smell ozone(臭氧), which is generated when lightning interacts with the air. Some compare its smell to that of clean bed sheets. Rain sounds are also comforting. The rhythmic pattern of rain hitting a roof, umbrella, or the ground below is called “pink noise”. Pink noise is a category of background noise that has all of the frequencies that human can hear and has lower volumes at higher frequencies. According to some research, it may improve our quality of sleep by decreasing our brain activity. __5__ The difficulty in waking up, the fresh, earthy scents, and the peace of the rain tapping on windows are enough to make anyone want to go back to bed for the day. Sadly, none of the evidences is enough to justify doing so, but it can at least explain why you may feel a little sleepy on these cloudy days. A. Noises can make us feel sleepier during the daytime. B. The others have been cloudy and dull for at least part of the day. C. That earthy smell of rain can make you feel calm and comfortable. D. It makes it easier for us to wake up from our sleep the night before. E. Sunlight causes our bodies to stop producing what makes us sleepy at night. F. And you'll also smell that when you are in your garden turning over your soil. G. You can listen to an hour of rain on a window here, if you intend to test it out. 1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ Ⅲ. 完形填空。 “A good book is easy to find.” That is the __1__ on a sign at Hernando Guanlao's home in the Makati area of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
