12-13学年第一学期八年级英语复习学案（任务型）AWhat do you think of the most important inventions in the world? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that they are not the only important inventions. Here are three other important inventions.One of the simplest inventions is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into rivers from peoples houses. Illnesses were common in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.Animal food is another important invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in winter. After hay （干草）became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.The third great invention is glasses. Glasses help people read, write and do “close work” after the age of forty-five. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above forty-five.Important _1_Some most important inventionsThe TV, the _2_, the _3_, the computerThree other important inventions Before the inventions the _4_5_ ran into rivers from peoples houses_6_ were common in big citiesIt was often difficult to find _7_ drinking waterhay, animal foodMost animals were killed in _8_ because there wasnt enough food in winter_9_Reading, writing and “close work” would be difficult for the people over _10_1. _ 2. _ 3. _ 4. _ 5. _6. _ 7._ 8. _ 9._ 10. _ BIs there a wetland around your city? There is one in Shanghai. Its called Chongming Dongtan Wetland. Chongming Dongtan Wetland is an important nature reserve. Its in the north-east of the downtown of Shanghai. People can go to visit this place by bus.The reserve is wet and warm all year round. It is a perfect place for wildlife, including many rare birds. The wetland is 241.55-square-kilometres and an important resting area for migratory birds moving from one hemisphere to another.A report says that 116 kinds of birds live in the reserve. Now the wetland is limiting the number of visitors to protect its wildlife.Because of tourism and fishing, the number of the birds there is getting smaller and smaller. Now only people who study birds can get into the wetland. No other visitors can travel through the wetlands. They can only take a look from a man-made watching corridor outside the wetland. As you know, too many people sometimes mean a disaster to wildlife.Usually the number of birds peaks between September and April. The wetland is only open to scientists who study and protect birds during these months.The government will start a 20-hectare study center at the end of next year. It will help a lot to protect the wetland.The government says they are trying to prevent people from disturbing the birds, and at the same time preventing the birds from eating the farmers crops.Dongtan WetlandFacts about the wetland 11 241.55 square kilometers.Location 12 of the downtown of Shanghai. 13 Wet and warm.A shelter for birdsAn important 14 area for migratory birds. 15 kinds of birds live there.ProblemThe number of birds is getting 16 . 17 of the problemTourism and 18 .Solution to the problemIt is only open to 19 who study and protect birds.Other tourists only take a look from a 20 watching corridor outside the wetland.11. _ 12. _ 13. _ 14. _ 15. _16. _ 17._ 18. _ 19._ 20. _ CUSA? Britain? Which country is better to study in? We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.Title: Studying at 21 or abroadPhenomenon（现象）Studying abroad has become a 22 for Chinese students.Advantages It is helpful to the future 23 of Chinese students.
