Among the different kinds of bee, it is the honey-bee that has interested scientists most because of the “language” they use to communicate with each other. P1202. In order to tell the bees apart, he painted some bees with little dots of colour. P1213. For his lifetimes work in studying the communication of animals, including honey-bees, Professor Karl von Frisch was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1973, which he shared with two other scientists. P1224. They trooped behind the first dancer, copying its movement. P1215. After designing more experiments, they were able to clarify the procedure by which bees communicate information that they use to find and fetch food. P1216. Like all other living creatures, human beings belong to a group of other animals that share certain characteristics.

Teaching procedures & ways 教学过程与方式Step I Warming upAsk students to look at some pictures first.T: Today Ill introduce some animals to you. Please look at the screen. Here are some pictures of animals. Do you know them? (Showing the pictures.) Lion Horse Panda Tiger Monkey Kangroo Elephant GiraffeSs: Yes. They are Lion, Horse, Panda, Tiger, Monkey, Kangaroo, Elephant and Giraffe.T: Im very glad you have a good knowledge of animals, Do you like animals? And why?S1: Yes. Because animals are our good friends. They can share my joy and sorrow. Besides, they never give away my secrets. I can tell them anything that I cant tell the other people.S2: I like animals, as well. They are very clever. When we human beings meet with some difficulties, they can help us a lot and try to smooth them away. If we feel lonely sometimes, they are our good companions. T: Good. Animals are really lovely, arent they? Now here are another three pictures. What can we learn from the pictures in Warming Up? S: From the given pictures, I can learn that animals are just like our human beings. They can “speak”, “feel” and even “do” something as we do.T: Well done. The following are some words and humorous definitions. (See the given words on Page 118.) Please match the words and the definitions. Ill give you three minutes to prepare. Ask the students to do the warming up exercises. Check the answers with the students. T: OK. Have you finished? Id like some students to share their answers with us. The first one is Cant.Sample answers: catch, cricket, lions, monkey, sheep, mouseStep II SpeakingT: As we all know, many animals are badly treated. Some of them are locked in cages. Some are killed for their fur, meat or bone. Some are taught tricks in order to make money. Do you think what we do to animals is right? Today, well hold a debate about the topic. There are four topics in our textbooks. You can choose one of them to discuss with your partners. Ill give you 8 to 10 minutes to prepare.Sample dialogue 1 Should animals be kept in zoos or nature parks?S1: We think that animals should be kept in zoos or nature parks. Because the environment is becoming worse and worse. Plants are fewer and fewer so that animals in the wild will not have enough food and places. Second, some animals are dangerous to us. They can hurt people. So its better to keep them in the zoos or nature parks, where we have some special workers or animal-keepers to take good care of them.S2: I dont agree with you. We think that animals should not be kept in the zoos or nature parks. Because animals belong to nature. Only in the wild can they become stronger and stronger. On the other hand, keeping animals in the wild can keep the balance of the eco-system, which does the world good.S3: Animals live in a forest. They have to hunt food and find habitats for themselves. But its reported that more and more trees are cut down. Some animals no longer have their homes. Its better to keep them in the zoos.S4: If we keep animals in the zoos, they can not be used to the life there. They are locked in large cages or houses without freedom. And some visitors may hurt them. Thats terrible. However, in the nature they can live a free, quiet and happy life. I think its good for them to live in comfort.S1: But in the wild its easy for animals to be in danger. Some poachers want to kill them for money.S2: Why dont we make laws to protect animals?S3: Our government has made laws. But many people still hunt or kill animals at the risk of breaking the law in order to get enough money to satisfy their so-called happy life. So its wise to keep animals in zoos or nature parks. Only in this way can they be protected.S4: Dont you find that animals in the zoos become lazier and lazier? They neednt run for food. Every day they eat, then stand or lie there to be watched by visitors. When they see people, they feel unhappy even frightened. So let them out in the wild.Sample dialogue 2 Do human beings have the right to kill animals?S1: We think that human beings have the right to kill animals. First, human beings are superior to animals. Human life is more important than animal life. Second, human beings dominate the world. Animals should be at our service.S2: We think that human beings have no right to kill animals, in my opinion. As we know, animals are our friends. We cant live without them. Second, animals have feelings. They also know the happiness and sadness. If you do them good, they will do you a favour. For example, a dog can protect you from danger when you meet with some trouble. They are equal to humans. We cant kill them only to meet our appetites. S3: We know that humans are higher animals. Thats to say, we are higher than other animals. Therefore, we have the right to kill other animals to save ourselves if necessary. For instance, we need new drugs to treat diseases, which should be tested on animals first such as rats and rabbits. Without testing on animals, its dangerous to use new drugs.S4: Though humans are higher than animals, how can we live without these so-called inferior animals? I cant simply imagine what the world would be like if all animals were killed by cruel people. At that time, children will not know what animals are. Lonely people will have no loyal friend a pet to talk with. When people are in danger, no one or no animals can help them out of the trouble. I think the world will not be as colorful as it is now.S1: We should restate our view. That is: We have rights to kill animals, not to kill all of them. As you say, we cant live without animals. Surely, we cant live with so many animals. Too many animals will take up much room and eat too much food or plants and on the other hand, they will do harm to people around the world. We all know that there are many meat-eating animals. If we dont kill them, they will kill us. Its terrible. In addition, some animal meat can provide us lots of nutrients which are good for our bodies and can make us feel stronger. Their bones are rare medicine. Hence, we can kill them freely.S2: Imagine that you were animals and humans would kill you, what would you do? Were you willing to be killed? Of course not, Im sure. Animals also have feelings, they can feel pain. They have their wives, their beloved children and their friends. They have their colorful world. They want to lead a happy and comfortable life. We cant destroy their happiness and kill them.S3: Dont you eat fish, meat, chicken and beef and so on from animals? If you do, you are also killing animals.S4: Fish, pigs and chicken are domestic fowls which are kept specially for peoples eating. They are quite different from wild animals.S1: In our opinion, animals are just animals. They eat to live. They have no thoughts, no dreams and no creation, while human beings have. Its no wrong to kill them.S2: Animals are living things. We should respect life and respect animals. Respecting animals means respecting ourselves. Therefore, we have no right to kill animals.Sample dialogue 3 Do animals have feelings?S1: We think that animals have feelings. We often see that if we take a baby animal away from his mother, the mother will shout at the people and even hurt humans to bring her baby back. So animals have feelings. They love and hate just as humans do.S2: I dont think so. Mother saves her baby just by instinct. Every living thing has such kind of instinct. In my opinion, animals have no feelings. Because animals often fight each other and kill each other in order to get some delicious food.S3: If you often watch TV programme named Animal World, you will find that a great many animals have fixed spouse. Like humans, animals also fall in love, form a family and have their own babies. The baby animals are well looked after and protected from enemies by their parents when seeing that harmonic family. I still remember a report that when an elephant was killed by a hunter, a lot of elephants came together to look for the hunter. The hunter had to run as fast as possible, at last he hid himself into a big house, but the elephants howled and knocked at the house with their tusks. Finally, the hunter was killed by them. Dont you think that animals have no feelings now?S4: But we also learn that some animals kill their babies and eat them. Do you think kind-hearted animals can eat their babies? Do they really have feelings? In the opinion of me, these animals do that not because they are bad, but because they have no feelings.S1: What you said sounds reasonable. Id like to ask you a question why do people keep pets? If animals have no feelings, why can people become friends with animals?S2: Keeping pets is just some peoples hobby. This doesnt show animals have feelings. Its often reported that pets hurt their masters. So keeping pets is a waste of time and feelings.S3: Whatever you say, we still hold the view that animals have feelings. I remember that in a national college entrance examination paper, there is a testing exercise that asks the students to write an article about a dog named Ah Fu who saved a girl picking flowers beside a river. It means that animals have feelings, especially when humans are in danger. On the other hand, in films and literature animals are described as wise, friendly and kind. They can help people out of trouble. They are so lovely. If we all think animals have feelings at bottom, we can protect them well with our hearts. And the world will become more and more beautiful and peaceful.S4: Animals are humanized in the films and books. Although they are important in our daily life, we cant refuse the fact that animals have no feelings.Sample dialogue 4 Is it right to teach animals tricks?S1: I dont think its right to teach animals tricks. First, animals are wildlife. They should run in the forest, play with their companions and enjoy themselves as they like. Second, its dangerous for people to train animals.S2: Im afraid I dont agree with you. Teaching animals tricks is necessary, for animals tricks can make much money and give us a lot of fun. Besides, teaching animals tricks does no harm to animals. S3: Its impossible that tricks do no harm to animals. Some tricks are dangerous for animals. For example, a horse jumps down into water from a 20-meter-high board. The horse takes a risk of losing his life. Its too cruel of the people to do so. S4: Anyhow, not all tricks are dangerous. By training or taming, for one thing, animals can become wise and understand people well. For another, they can make humans happy and satisfy our curiosity and admire their courage and bravery.S1: But training animals is not an easy job. Its too dangerous. Its reported that a zoo-keeper was hurt by a crocodile when he was teaching it how to tr
