(五) Summing-up（总结） Through learning this passage, we have got to know that English is becoming more and more popular all over the world now. So English learning seems important to everyone, especially us students of the new century. With China’s entry into WTO, English will play a more important part in business, in tourism, and even in people’s daily life. So it’s no doubt that everyone should have a good knowledge of English. And I hope everyone in our class can make an effort to learn English well. But on the other hand, it doesn’t mean English is better than Chinese. We must keep it in mind that one’s mother tongue is the most beautiful language in the world. The reason why we learn English is that we should thus be more capable of building up our country.

(七) 布置作业 1、课后熟读课文； 2、完成 Post-reading Ex.2。 课后反思：本课是阅读课。英语阅读教学是高中教学的重中之重。许多英语教师对阅读训练 也给予了足够的重视， 但是在训练方式上却存在较多的问题。 多数教师过分注重语法结构的 分析和句子的机械翻译而忽视技巧培养。 只有在阅读教学中教给学生一些学习策略， 培养阅 读技巧， 才能让学生有可能通过课外自学来扩大知识的摄取量， 从而弥补课堂英语阅读教学 的不足。由于时间仓促以及学生口语水平的局限，本课时在学生让学生讨论的环节上，气氛 不够热烈，讨论时间不足，今后应尽量鼓励学生多开口说英语，以弥补这方面的缺陷。
