Media reports say Irwin was snorkeling at Batt Reef, a part of the Great Barrier Reef about 9 miles (about 15 kilometers) from the town of Port Douglas, when the incident happened on Monday morning.,“He came over the top of a stingray that was buried in the sand, and the barb came up and hit him in the chest,“ said Stainton. Wildlife documentary maker Ben Cropp, citing a colleague who saw footage of the attack, told TIME that Irwin had accidentally boxed the animal in. “It stopped and twisted and threw up its tail with the spike, and it caught him in the chest,“ said Cropp. “Its a defensive thing. Its like being stabbed with a dirty dagger.“,Irwin, 44, was killed by a stingray barb that pierced his chest, according to Cairns police sources. Irwin was in the area to film pieces for a show called “The Oceans Deadliest“ with Philippe Cousteau, grandson of Jacques, Irwins manager and friend John Stainton told CNNs “American Morning.“ But weather had prevented the crew from doing work for that program, said Stainton, so Irwin decided to do some softer features for a new childrens TV show he was doing with his daughter, Bindi.,Preparation,Dictionary 2 notebooks 2 exercise books A book to read and review about A new magazine to read regularly A newspaper (website) to survey regularly,Homework,Words Class Presentation (at least 6 words from the text, two sentences from the text) 5-minute presentation in pairs (at least 6 words from the text, two sentences from the text) Summary Suggestions and expectation,Unit 1,pulse 意向,心态 He knew the pulse of the nation. 他了解国民的心态。 DDT abbr. 1. =Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane 二氯二苯三氯乙烷，滴滴涕 2.
