38、nt of business in China.The first one to arrive is Mr.Garcia from Columbia with Julia Smith,a British lady,following behind closely.I introduce them to each other and I’m surprised to see Mr.Garcia comes up to Ms Smith.Just then,a visitor from Japan,comes in and bows when the Canadian,Mr.Cook reache
39、s out his hand to him.It happens that Mr.Cook’s hand touches the Japanese’s nose as he bows and they both apologize.So you see,people from different cultures may not greet others in the same way.English people usually do not stand very close to others or touch the strangers as people from Spain,Ital
40、y and South American countries do.Most people around the world shake hands when they meet while Japanese people will bow.People from Jordan stand quite close to other men and shake hands and kiss others on the cheek In a word,body language differs in different cultures and is widely used in communic
41、ation. Step 7 Language Points Focus T:So much for the exercises.Now look through the passage again and see if you have any language problems. S:I don’t know what’s the meaning of the sentence “Not all cultures greet each other the same way,nor are they comfortable touching strangers or being too
42、 close or too far away.”? T:This sentence means “不是所有人都以同样的方式寒暄。接触陌生人时,距离太近或太远都会使他们不舒服。” In the sentence,you have to pay special attention to the usage of “not...nor...”which means “既不……也不……”.For example,they do not shake hands with women,nor are they likely to kiss women publicly.“nor” implies th
43、e negative meaning,so when it is put at the beginning of the sentence,the sentence should be inverted.表示否定意义的nor放在句首,该句子应用倒装语序,即把be动词、助动词或情态动词放在主语前。如,Not a single word did he say at the meeting last night.The words having the similar usage with nor are “not,never,seldom,hardly,rarely,little”.如,Never
44、 has he been to China.他从来没有来过中国。 T:Are you clear now with the usage of “nor”? S:We are clear now. T:Do you have any other language problems? S:I am not quite sure about the usage of “likely”. T:In the passage,the sentence “People from places like Spain,Italy or South American countries app
45、roach others closely and are more likely to touch them.” means 从西班牙、意大利或南美洲国家来的人近距离地接近对方,而且可能会（用身体）接触对方。There are two structures of “likely”.They are “sb./sth.is likely to do sth.” and “It’s likely that+clause”.如,He’s very likely to be late for class.他很有可能会上课迟到。It is likely to rain tonight.今晚可能要下雨。
46、 T:Any more questions?If not,let’s move on to discussion. Step 8 Discussion After the explanation of the language points,the students have got a total understanding of the reading text.Then teacher draws the students’ attention back to the text and puts forward a topic for them to discuss.Divide
47、the students into four-person groups and give them five minutes to think about the question “Is body language important?” After the discussion,let the students report their discussions. T:Let’s come back to our discussion.Since you have a complete understanding of the text,I have a question for yo
48、u.Is body language important? T:After your discussion with your partners,I would like you to report your discussions.Time is limited to 5 minutes.Go. (After 5 minutes.) T:OK,who would like to be the first to give your report on the discussion? S:Let me try.I think body language is important,
49、because it is used anytime and anywhere to convey people’s ideas,feelings,information,and so on. S:We can tell a lot from others’ body language.Even if they don’t speak,we know if they are sad by looking at their facial expressions. T:Good point.One more.Who would like to continue? S:Body language may have different meanings in different cultures.So it’s important for us to know more so that we won’t cause misunderstanding during our communication. Step 9 Summary and Homework T:Today we’ve learned a text about body language.Just like verbal language(言辞),body language is part of
