Tokyo business people get less sleep

New York may be known as the city that never sleeps， but Tokyo business people get less time in the sack than their New York peers——and also those in Paris， Stockholm and Shanghai.

According to a survey of five cities， people in Tokyo on weekdays sleep just under 6 hours on average， according to a survey by Japanese food seasoning maker Ajinomoto Co.People in Shanghai sleep the longest，seven hours and 28 minutes. Those in New York slept six hours and 35 minutes，the second shortest after Tokyo.

“I think people in Tokyo may just be too busy，”said an Ajinomoto spokeswoman.

Many Japanese business people are forced into long days by hours of overtime followed by after-hours drinking sessions and then a long commute home，although the survey found that commutes in New York were about equally long.

Tokyo trains in both mornings and evenings are full of dozing commuters，heads bobbing. Some even manage to nap standing up as they cling to overhead rails.

“In Shanghai，people simply seem to go to sleep earlier. Everyone in all the cities gets up around the same time in the mornings，between 6:30 and 7:00，”said the Ajinomoto spokeswoman.

“In Tokyo，on top of the long days，people seem to do things after they get home as well，like playing computer games. They don't sleep until after midnight.”

Not surprisingly，when asked what was most important in their lives，Japanese gave “sleep”the top ranking——the same as their Parisian peers，who nonetheless got nearly seven hours of sleep on weekdays.

By contrast，both New Yorkers and Shanghai residents said “time with their family”came first.

一 教學設計思路

本節課是一堂報刊閱讀課，its topic是“sleeping time in different countries”。在設計教案時，通過巧妙的設計一系列問題與學生進行互動，逐步引導學生掌握文章的內涵。同時將各種不同的閱讀方法融入課堂教學之中，幫助學生養成適合本身的閱讀習慣。在教學過程中，采用組織學生觀察同伴的生活規律，發現不同的生活方式等活動，激發學生的學習興趣，培養分析評判能力，讓學生在完成學習任務的過程中體驗生活的樂趣，感受學習的成果。

二 教學目標

1．通過本堂課的教學，使學生了解不同國家、城市人們多彩的生活方式；

2．教授學生各種閱讀的方式方法，幫助學生掌握適合自身的閱讀技巧；

3．通過教學讓學生初步了解生活方式和身體健康之間的聯系，幫助學生開拓視野，糾正不良的生活習慣；

4．在課堂活動過程中，逐步培養學生的競爭意識和團隊意識。

三 教學過程

Step 1：Warming up，listen and enjoy a song.

設計意圖：通過一首歌曲go to sleep來調動學生的積極性，讓學生在音樂中感受到充足睡眠對健康的重要性，并了解怎樣保持健康，然后引出文章的標題——sleeping time。

Step 2：Revision.

先讓學生填寫調查問卷表格，然后用提問的方式幫助學生熟練句型，為后面對如何界定生活方式的好壞展開討論作了一個鋪墊。

What time do you usually go to sleep？

How long do you sleep on weekdays？

Do you think enough sleep is good for our study？

Step 3: Presentation.

Task 1. Fast reading 目的是檢查學生快速閱讀能力的水平。

Q：Which country people get most sleeping time？

設計意圖：我設計了一個很簡單的問題，目的是增強學生的自信心。

Task 2. Careful reading

1.Guessing the meaning of the words in the article？

★less__________ ★pub__________

設計意圖：培養學生閱讀能力是本節課的教學目標之一，而生詞是影響學生閱讀速度和效果的重要因素，因此，我讓學生根據上下文來推測生詞的真正含義，培養學生理解生詞的能力。

2. Draw a pyramid of sleeping time. 讓學生用金字塔模形的方式來描述不同國家睡眠的時間及長短。

設計意圖：通過以上兩個問題的引導，幫助學生進一步加深對文章的理解。

Step 4. Production

Task 1. let students read another passage and find out the boys’ problems and help him.

設計意圖：通過再現一個中學生的不健康生活習慣，讓學生再次思考，發現問題并提出解決方案。這樣不斷地鞏固，既培養了學生的適應力、理解力和分析問題的能力，又有助于學生養成健康的生活習慣。

Task 2. Ask the students to discuss in group

Team work: Jack wants to make a healthy life style，then make a report.

設計意圖：讓學生在teamwork的交流中，將閱讀過程中獲得的知識進行修正重組，使學生對語言的學習產生質的提高。

Step 5. Homework
