Ⅲground Information

Influence of the Computer

About ten years ago,the computer was a strange many people understood many people said yes to y,much of that is first computer system was introduced for use in business in the e then,the number of computer systems used in business,governments,and institutions(公共機構) has grown 1975,about 250 000 systems were in use in the United figure is growing by tens of thousands every year.

The electronic computer is an important factor in our year we use computers more and more to help us to collect data and to provide us with one time,people thought computers were only useful for banks,department stores,and today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes.

Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected by computer?The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a radio programs are often prepared by computers.

Computers today are playing important roles in education,transportation and are used to predict the weather,to examine the ocean,and to develop defence are being used by businesses,governments,and e is no reason to think that their use will decrease(減少)uters will become a greater part of our lives.

The influence of the computer is list of its uses could go on and ough the first computer was only introduced in the mid-1950s,computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.

Information Revolution

The information revolution:How does it concern you?Computers Are Changing Your World.

Ten years ago,in 1986,desktop computers were just beginning to make their entrance into the world of ,they are invading(涌入) the family home at a rapid importantly,however,they are also changing the way we look at the information superhighway is now open to increasing numbers of ordinary superhighway is providing ordinary people with immediate access to a huge amount of is also giving them almost unlimited opportunities of communication with people around the nary people now have power to gain knowledge and to link up with so many fellow citizen of the has never happened before in the history of the human race.

Information Superhighway

The global computer network is called the e computers(called servers) from all over the world have been link up with their home,ordinary people use their computers and their telephone lines to link up to these server can then access computers overseas and find information on almost any topic they can think can read foreign newspapers,find out about the latest trends in music,films,books and fashion through library catalogues(目錄),and find research data on almost any subject.

Other Activities on the Internet

If the Internet users have a credit card（信用卡）,they can shop for goods and services from the other side of the can also join thousands of newsgroups (called “bulletin boards”,that is electronic message centres kept in computers) these newsgroups,the Internet users can take part in discussions on many different topics with computers users around the world.

It is also possible to send letters electronically to people overseas through this computer function of the computer is called “e-mail” or “electronic mail” letters sent arrive almost instantly at the recipient’s(接受者) server computer on the other side of the cost of sending the e-mail is a fraction(小部分) of the cost of an airmail letter,a fax or a telephone conversation.

(After a while,teacher checks the answers.)

T:Have you found the answers?

Ss:Yes.

T:Who’d like to answer the first question?

S4:The plan for “rejuvenating the nation by relying on science and education”.

T:Quite other question?

S5:Exploring space,genetic research,computer engineering and medical science.

(Teacher writes the answers above on the blackboard.)

T:Nice ,please read the passages again carefully,trying to understand them more exactly and pay attention to some detailed r that,work in groups to complete the chart after the passages according to what you’ve learnt from the r four minutes,I’ll check your answers.

Suggested answers:

Ss:Yes.

(Teacher begins to play the tape.)

Step Ⅴ Writing

T:Well,up to now,we’ve read a lot about scientific h words in the text can we use to describe scientific achievements?Prepare for a few I’ll collect them from you.

Suggested words:

significant,outstanding,breakthrough…

(Then teacher deals with Writing.)

T:Very ,please look at the Writing ’ve been asked by the magazine Modern Science to help them choose the greatest scientific achievement e a short essay,telling them which achievement you have chosen and explaining why you think that it is the most you clear about what to do now?

Ss:Yes.

T:In order that you can write your essay ’d better read and study the tips at Page 8 carefully before writing your can begin time permits,I’ll ask some students to read their essay to the rest of the class.A sample essay:

The publication of the detailed structure of 99% of the human genome is the culmination of one of the largest scientific undertakings in iated in 1990,the Human Genome Project involved the cooperative work of hundreds of scientists in 20 sequencing centres in countries including China,France,Germany,Great Britain,Japan and the United States.

The achievement is only has it given a glimpse into the extraordinary complexity of the structure of human DNA but it has also demonstrated the huge potential of cooperative scientific endeavour organized on an international basis.

Moreover,the project’s completion has already produced medical breakthrough,scientists assert that the achievement can assist research into cancers such as leukemia,and may also extend far beyond to the other deadly diseases.

Step Ⅵ Summary and Homework

T:Now let’s see what we’ve learnt in this t,we’ve read about some China’s significant achievements in science and know Chinese history is filled with great achievements,not only in the past,but also nce and technology makes a country richer and nce and technology also makes society develop and you think so?

Ss:Yes.

T:Second,we’ve practised writing a persuasion can use some words to describe scientific over,we’ve learnt some useful words and phrases such as put forward,announce…After class,please practise more to develop your ability to use much for bye.

Ss:Goodbye.
