Unit3AtasteofEnglishhumourUsinglanguage,所谓pun,通常是指利用一个单词的两个含义,或者利用两个特定的单词,达到“一语双关”的目的。如:,英语中有趣的双关语“pun”,Heisnotagravemanuntilheisagraveman.其中的grave有两个含义,一个是“严肃的”(形容词),一个是“坟墓”(名词)，因此这句话的意思是：他不是一个严肃的人,除非他躺到坟墓里才能严肃起来。,Theyprayforyoutodayandpreyonyoutomorrow.其中的pray(祈祷)和prey(捕食),发音相同,外形相似。因此这句话的意思是：他们今天为你祈祷,明天就会加害于你。,Readthetwopunsandenjoyplayingonwords.Abicyclecantstandonitsownbecauseitistwo-tired.Asmallboywenttothecountertopayforhislunchbuthewasalittleshort.,Howtoexplainthetwopuns?1)Two-tired,whenspoken,canhavetwomeanings:a.withtwotires;b.tootired.2)Short,whenspoken,canhavetwomeanings:a.smallinheight;b.nothavingenoughmoney.,vastmessreactporridgedrunk,adj.巨大的;辽阔的n.脏或乱的状态vi.做出反应;回应n.粥;麦片粥adj.醉的,2ListentoPart1andwritedownthemainidea.,Listening:Youaregoingtolistentoafunnystoryaboutjam.,Marymadesomejambutleftsomeonthekitchentableforafewdaysasshehadtogotolookafterhersickmother.Somedayslater,John,knowingnothingaboutthejam,camehomeandthrewitintothekitchenyard.,1.WhatwasMarygoingtodowiththecookedplumsinthepan?2.WhatdidJohnthinkMaryshouldhavedonewiththemessinthepan?3.WhatdoyouthinkMaryisgoingtosaywhenshefindsoutwhathashappened?4.HowdoyouthinkJohnwillreacttoher?,3ListentoPart1againandanswerthefollowingquestions:,1.WhatwasMarygoingtodowiththecookedplumsinthepan?,Shewasgoingtoputtheminthefridgelaterwhentheyhadcooleddown.,2.WhatdidJohnthinkMaryshouldhavedonewiththemessinthepan?,Hethoughtsheshouldhavethrownitoutforthechickenstoeat.,4.BeforeyoulistentoPart2,trytoputthesesentencesbelowinorder.Thenlistenagainandcheckifyouwereright.,_MarygotangrywithJohn._Marysawthechickensbehavingstrangely._Johnwassorry._Thechickensenjoyedthejam._Johnsaidhethoughtthejamwasporridge._Marylookedattheredmessontheground._Johnsaidthechickensweredrunk._Marycamehome.,1,2,3,4,8,7,5,6,“You_myjam,”sheshouted.“Oh,_whatitwas,”hesaid.“Im_butIthoughtitwas_whichhadgonebadinthehotweather.Thechickenshave_thejam,butitsmadethem_.”,enjoyed,porridge,sorry,drunk,thats,threwaway,5FillintheblankswhilelisteningtoPart2asecondtime.,MarySmithlookedatthebeautifulripeplums.Theywouldmakelovelyjam.Whenshehadfinishedthecooking,shefilledallheremptyjamjarsandlefttherestofthejaminthepan.Shewouldputitinthefridgewhenitwascooler.Butjustthenthetelephonerang,Part1,Listeningtext,hermotherwasinhospitalafteracaraccident.Marypickedupherbagandranoutofthehouse.Somedayslater,herhusband,John,camehomefromabusinesstrip.Hehadbeentravellingalldayandfeltlikehavingadrinkandapieceofcake.Ashecameintothekitchenhesawapanwithadarkredmessinsideit.,Helifteditupandsmelledit.Itsmelledbad.Marymusthaveforgottentocleanthispan,hethought.Sohepouredallthejamintothechickenyardandcleanedthepan.Thenfeelingcomfortable,hebegantoeatapieceofcake.,WhenMaryreturned,shenoticedthechickensbehavingstrangely.Theywererunningaroundtheyardasiftheyweresick.Shesawthedarkredmessonthegroundandwentcloser.Whenshesawaplumstoneshewentintothekitchen.Herhusbandwasreadinganewspaperatthetable.AngrilyMaryrusheduptohim.,Part2,“Youthrewawaymyjam,”sheshouted.“Oh,thatswhatitwas,”hesaid.“ImsorrybutIthoughtitwasporridgewhichhadgonebadinthehotweather.”“Goodheavens!”saidMary.“ThatmustbethejamIleftinthepan,butwhydidntyouthrewitinthedustbin?”Johnlaughed.,“Itwasamistake.However,thechickenshaveenjoyedthejam,expectthatithasmadethemdrunk.Whatarewegoingtodowiththesedrunkenchickens?”,Discusswithyourpartnerwhetheryouthinkthestoryyoulistenedtoisfunny.Giveyourreasons.Usethesewordsandexpressionsbelowtohelpyou.,Speakingandwriting,Howwonderful!ImpleasedwebothlikeIfelthappybecauseWhatfun!ItsurprisesmethatI(dont)laughatthatkindofthingbecauseItis(not)veryamusing/funnythatI(dont)enjoythisverymuchbecause,S1:Whatfun!Ienjoyedthatstory.Ialwayslaughatthatkindofthing.S2:Metoo.Impleasedwebothlikethesamekindoffunnystories.,Sampledialogue:,S1:Thepunchlinewasgood.Youwerewonderingwhatwouldhappen.SoImhappythatitallturnedoutwellintheend.S2:ItsurprisesmethatJohndidntseetheplumstoneifMarydid.,S1:ThatsbecauseMarydidthecooking,butJohndidntlookatthejamcarefully.Hejustthoughtitwasamessandthrewitaway.S2:Ithinkitsveryamusingandalwaystrytoreadstorieslikethat.Thatmakemesmile.,S1:OK.Letmetellyouthisfunnystorythen.ItsaboutahedgecutterwhichwasmadeinChinabutsoldinEngland,1)Usealogicalorder:explainthesituation,whathappenedandthengivethepunchline.2)Readitthroughwhenyouhavefinishedcheckingformistakes.3)Readittoyourpartnerandaskforadvice.4)Rewriteyourstoryandputitintoaclasscollectionoffunnystories.,Writing,Samplewriting:,StagesinthestoryMrHillsbuysahedgecuttermadeinChina.2.Itbreaksandhetriestomendithimself.3.Theinstructionbookletsaysitshouldnotbetouched“withoutpermission”.4.Hedecidestogetanewonesonoonewilleverknow.,ATRUESTORYOFMRHILLSMrHillsinLondonboughtahedgecuttermadeinChina.Itwasverysmallandverycheapanditworkedverywell.Atfirsthewasverypleasedwithit.Itmadehishedgeslooksmartandneat.Thenonedayitbrokedown.Therewasnothinghecoulddotomakeitwork.,Hetookitapartandputittogetheragainbutstillitwouldnotwork.Nexthetookoutthebookletofinstructionstoseeiftheyhadanyadviceforhim.Imaginehisamazementwhenhesawthesew
