Walt Disney Company

The Walt Disney Company is the second largest media company in the United States, after Time-Warner. It is worth fifty-seven billion dollars.

Walt Disney and his brother Roy started the company by making short animated films called cartoons. In 1928, the brothers produced "Steamboat Willie", a cartoon starring Mickey Mouse. The Disney brothers then made several very successful full-length animated cartoon movies. They also began selling products linked to the characters in their movies.

Walt Disney wanted to expand into other forms of entertainment. In 1955, he opened the Disneyland amusement park in Anaheim, California. In 1971, Walt Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida. It is the most popular holiday area in the United States. There are also Disney parks in Tokyo, Japan and Paris, France. Disneyland in Hong Kong is expected to open in September 2005.

Walt Disney died in 1966, but the company continued to grow. In 1983, Disney started its own cable television channel. The next year, Michael Eisner became chairman and chief executive.

During the 1990s, Disney grew into a total media company. It bought movie production companies, newspapers and cable television companies. In 1996, Disney bought the American Broadcasting Company, including the cable sports network ESPN.

Mister Eisner remained the company's top executive. But last year, about 45 percent of Disney shareholders voted against him. The Disney Board of Directors removed Mister Eisner from the position of chairman and replaced him with former State Majority Leader George Mitchell. Recently, Disney signed an agreement with Pixar Animation Studios to make five animated movies. The deal produced the extremely popular films "Finding Nemo" and "The Incredibles". Nevertheless, in January of last year, talks to extend the agreement failed. Some shareholders blamed Mister Eisner.

In March, the Walt Disney Company announced that Robert lger would replace Mister Eisner as chief executive. Robert lger has been president and chief operating officer of the company for the past five years. Mister lger will begin the top job at Disney on September 30th.

Unit 5 CANADA- “THE TRUE NORTH” A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting. Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip. “You’re going to see some great scenery. Going eastward, you’ll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you’re in Canada’s warmest part. People say it is Canada’s most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.” That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes. After two days’ travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes. Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world. In fact, it has one-third of the world’s total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes. That night as they slept, the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto. “THE TRUE NORTH” FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL The next morning the bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming that fall had arrived in Canada. Around noon they arrived in Toronto, the biggest and most wealthy city in Canada. They were not leaving for Montreal until later, so they went on a tour of the city. They went up the tall CN Tower and looked across the lake. In the distance, they could see the misty cloud that rose from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south side of the lake. The water flows into the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to the sea. They saw the covered stadium, home of several famous basketball teams. As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, “Lin Fei, one of my mother’s old schoolmates, lives here. I should phone her from a telephone booth.”

Eight months later, she was not a small baby ant more. Giant pandas live mainly on a special kind of bamboo. As a result, pandas may not have a place to live or food to eat. If we do nothing, soon there may be none left! （3）重点语法：动词不定式的正确使用。 教材难点： （1）如何在课堂上提高阅读能力。 （2）讨论如何采取措施保护我们的生态环境。 （3）制作一个海报，描述人类与野生动物的关系，呼吁全社会保护自然生态环境，爱护野生动物。 4. 教学目标： （1）知识与技能：

U n i t3A h e a l t h y l i f e Ⅰ.教材分析 本节课的教学任务是人教版选修六Unit 3 A healthy life 中的Warming up, Pre-reading, Reading and Comprehending 部分。Warming up部分主要围绕健康问题展开讨论，并提供了几个有关健康的话题（cigarette smoking/Drinking alcohol/Drug taking/Physical fitness/Sexual health/Stress）,同时展示了几张图片，使学生能联想现实中的健康话题，更好引入阅读。Pre-reading部分通过看标题预测文章大意的方式，激发了学生的阅读兴趣。Reading部分分为两部分，首先是爷爷写给孙子的一封信，信中82岁的爷爷以亲身体会向孙子介绍了上瘾的原因、抽烟的危害和戒烟的方法，告诫孙子把烟戒掉。第二部分是有关戒烟的网页，详细列举了戒烟的六种方法：l．制订计划；2．下定决心；3．破除旧习；4．学习自我放松；5．必要时请求帮助；6．坚持不懈。Comprehending 部分设计了三个练习，讨论部分可以激活学生在读前部分学过的内容，以便对抽烟这一话题作深入讨论。表格填空主要帮助学生加深对课文内容的理解和巩固，并通过角色扮演让学生们学会运用本节课所学短语，句型，是一种很好的复习方式。 II. 教学设计思路 本课设计以“A healthy life”为课堂教学材料，以学生现实生活为出发点和归宿点，旨在培养学生阅读能力及其发展学生的语言实际运用能力。本设计以学生为中心，运用了图片展示，采用了学生预测文章内容、复述、讨论、学生自读及教师指导阅读等形式，使学生由浅入深，理解课文，同时又提高了学生各方面的能力。 III. 学习任务分析 本单元的中心话题时“健康生活”，在阅读这部分，主要谈到了爷爷通过自己抽烟及戒烟的亲身经历对孙子提出很多建议。讨论部分：我们在日常生活中能做些什么去保护非抽烟者免受二手烟的侵害，尤其是妇女和儿童，又会遇到什么困难，也是学生较为感兴趣并且很想了解的东西，而文章正式给我们解释了这一问题，而且阅读的难易程度适中，学生有一定的学习热情。 IV. 学习者分析 教学对象为高中二年级学生，他们已经完成了高二2个多个模块的学习，部分学生渐渐适应了本套教材的学习，也习惯了我的教法。且智力发展趋于成熟，基本能用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题。但由于课外语言活动环境不够丰富，对阅读的重视也不够，学习中还存在一定的问题。 V.Teaching goals 1.Target language目标语言
