Unit 2 Making a Difference-【优学精讲】2024-2025学年高中英语必修第三册教用Word(外研版)

本讲义围绕“诚信与道德抉择”核心主题，通过Munford夫妇归还15,000美元金币的故事，构建“语篇理解—词汇积累”学习支架，前有故事背景引入，后设阅读理解题与核心词汇（如legally, property, get in touch with等）解析，形成完整学习链。 该资料以真实故事为载体，融合语言能力（词汇学习与语篇分析）、思维品质（分析道德抉择逻辑）和文化意识（诚信价值观）。课中通过故事细节推断（如原房主“意识到硬币存在”的过程）培养学生逻辑思维，课后词汇表助力语言知识巩固，既提升课堂教学互动性，又便于学生自主查漏补缺。

UNIT 2　Making a difference 　　　Munford夫妇在住进新买的房子后，意外发现了被原主人遗忘的价值15，000美元的金币和银币。得知他们有权利使用这笔钱之后，Munford夫妇是怎样抉择的呢？ 　　When a couple living in South Carolina recently sold what had been their “dream house”， they were sure they had worked out all the details before the sale. Repairs had been made， the paperwork had been all in order， and they had removed their belongings from the home in which they had spent the last 32 years — or so they thought. 　　A few days after the sale was finished， James and Clarrisa Munford discovered the treasure — 50 gold and silver coins， which the former owners had hidden and forgotten all about. To the Munfords’ great surprise， the coins were worth as much as 15，000 dollars. And according to experts， the coins were legally the Munfords’ property， and they had the right to sell the coins quietly and pocket the profits. 　　However， the Munfords， who own a restaurant in Columbia， almost immediately chose to get in touch with the original owners of the house and return the coins to them， which had been left inside a built-in drawer in the home. “There is an old saying， ‘You reap what you sow，’” said the original owner， Mr Miller， who was quite surprised. “My wife and I spent a lot of time repairing the house to ensure that we left our home in excellent condition for the Munfords， and our kindness was certainly returned by another！ It wasn’t until the kind couple contacted us that we became aware of the hidden coins.” 　　Mr Miller said he wanted to share this story to give hope and inspiration to others during their extremely difficult times. “Now it is a good time to pause and think about how we treat each other. If there were more people like the Munfords， the world would be a much better place，” Mr Miller said. 【理解】 1.What can we learn from the second paragraph？ 　The former owners forgot the existence of the coins.　 2.
