Ⅴ.Teaching Time
Four periods
Background Information
One word or phrase may have two or more meanings;words or phrases which have different meanings may have the same or similar sounds.Words or phrases like these may sometimes cause confusion or ambiguity,but they also make it possible to joke or play on words for a humorous effect.
For some reason English has one of the largest collections of jokes based on plays on words.These jokes are often in the form of a dialogue in which one person uses a word in one sense,which the other person understands it or deliberately interprets it in a different sense.Here are some examples of the humorous dialogues.
1.Policeman:You can’t park here.
Driver:Why not?
Policeman:Read that sign.
Driver:I did .It says,“Fine for parking”,
so I parked.
2.A:Where do you wash?
B:In the spring.
A:I didn’t ask when,I asked you where.
3.Diana:How long will the next bus be?
Charles:Oh,almost 45 feet.
4.Dick:My aunt has 88 keys.
Tracy:She must have a lot of doors.
Dick:She doesn’t.She plays the piano.
5.Customer:Is there any soup on the menu?
Waiter:There was,but I wiped it off.
6.Dick:Where are we eat tonight?
Nick:Let’s eat up the street.
Dick:Let’s not.I don’t like concrete.
7.Professor:Name two pronouns.
Student:Who,me?
8.Teacher:Jimmy,what are the three words that students use most often at school?
Jimmy:I don’t know…
Teacher:Correct.
Plays on words can also be in the form of a riddle.And some riddles are plays on compound words.A compound word consists of two or more pants,and the pants do not have the same meaning as they have when they are used separately,though they may keep their original sound.Here are some examples:
(1)I work only when I’m fired.What am I ?(A rocket.)
(2)I have teeth,but no mouth.What am I?(A comb.)
(3)I have a mouth,but no teeth,what am I?(A river.)
(4)Why does a river sleep a lot?(Because it is always in a bed.)
(5)Why does a river have a lot of money?(Because it has two banks.)
(6)If you throw a white stone into Red Sea,what will it become?(Wet.)
(7)What can you see with your eyes shut?(A dream.)
(8)Which runs faster,heat or cold?Why?(Heat.Because you can catch cold.)
(9)I have cities but no houses;forests but no trees;rivers without water.What am I?(A map.)
(10)What letter are people the most afraid of?(E.Because it’s the end of “life”.)
(11)What kind of driver never needs a license?(A screwdriver.)
(12)What kind of a nail should you not hit with a hammer?(Your fingernail.)
Some jokes are based on words which have the same sound but different meanings and spellings.Jokes of this kind is better heard,not seen.When they are written or printed,the humor is largely lost.For example:
Seven days without water makes one weak (week).
We must all hang together or we shall all hang separately.

Lesson 69
Teaching Aims:
1.Learn and master the following:
fly(n.),waiter,lay the table,by accident
2.Review everyday English appearing from Unit 13 to Unit 17 and skillfully use them in the imitative situations.
3.Enable the students to understand and master how to express puns.
Teaching Important Points:
How to understand better each pun in the dialogue.
Teaching Difficult Points:
How to let the students realize and enjoy the humour in each joke.
Teaching Methods:
1.Question-and-answer to help the Ss go through with the dialogue.
2.Pair work or group work to make every student work is class.
Teaching Aids:
1.a tape recorder
2.a projector
4.the blackboard
Teaching Procedures:
Step Ⅰ. Greetings
Greet the whole class as usual.
Step Ⅱ.Lead-in
T:We all know that jokes are funny and they can make people laugh.Do you enjoy jokes?
Ss:Yes.
T:Yeah,there are lots of jokes in the English language.When you read these jokes or listen to other people telling you the jokes,you are not only amused by the jokes but can learn the language as well.Now let me tell you one first.One day a young stranger in Beijing was seeking Tsinghua University but he became lost.Luckily ,he saw a scholarly old gentleman with a thick book under his arm.He stopped the scholar.“Excuse me,sir,could you tell me how I can get to Tsinghua University?” The old man thought it for one minute or two.Then he replied:“Study,young man,constant study!”This is the story “Where is Tsinghua University?”Do you think the old gentleman answered the young man’s question?
Ss:Yes/No.
T:All of your answers are right,I think.Because the young man’s question“Could you tell me how I can get to Tsinghua University?” could be understood in two ways.One is:Where is the road to Tsinghua University?The other is:How can I go to Tsinghua University and become a student of Tsinghua University.Obviously the old gentleman thought the young man asked the second meaning.This is “play on words”(Write it on the Bb and say its Chinese meaning.)
Step Ⅲ. Dialogue
T:Today we are going to learn Lesson 69(Bb).
It gives us a few examples about “play on words”.I think you’ll enjoy it.First look at the screen.Let’s learn the new words.(Show the following on the screen and explain them in English.)
(Bb:lay the table,by accident)
T:Now open your books,and turn to Page 31.I give you three minutes to read the dialogue.Then try to find out the explanation of each joke.Because the three explanations are in mixed order.Are you clear?
Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Now begin.
(After three minutes,teacher asks students some questions to check their understanding.)
T:Now I want to ask you some questions.Look at Dialogue 1,first.What does the customer mean by asking the question?Who knows,any volunteers?
S:The customer probably means why the fly is there,in his soup.But the waiter seems to be absent-minded and misunderstand that the customer is asking what that fly is doing in his soup.
T:Right.Look at Dialogue 2.Why do you think the customer asks this question?Who can explain it?
S:Probably the customer thinks that the soup has gone bad and the waiter shouldn’t give it to him.But the waiter misunderstand it.When the waiter says “It’s bean soup”,the customer thinks by mistake that he is saying “It’s been soup”.
T:Yes.“been and bean” has the same prounciation.(Write “been” and “bean” on the blackboard.)That’s where the humour is.Sit down,please.Now look at Dialogue 3.Who can ask the customer’s question in another way?Li Lin,you try,please.
S:Will it be long before I get the pancakes?
T:This joke is another good example of “play on words”.When the waiter hears the question,he probably thinks that the customer is asking the shape of the pancake.
Step Ⅳ. Discussion
T:Now please look at another three“Waiter-and-Customer jokes” at the bottom of Page 31.I give you several minutes to think about what the humour is in each joke.Please work in pairs.After a while,I’ll ask some of you to tell your opinions.
(Students begin to discuss them,teacher goes among them to check them.After a while,teacher asks some students to talk about their opinions.)
Suggested explanation:
1.The customer is asking:I would like to eat some chicken legs,have you got any today?The waiter understand it as:You walk in a funny way.Are your legs like chicken’s legs?
2.“Lay” has two meanings.One is “lay an egg” (What a hen does.)One is “lay a table” (What a waiter does.)The waiter wants to say:I don’t know what’s wrong with these eggs.Ask the hen that laid the eggs.I only laid the table.
3.The question has two meanings.The waiter is asking the customer at the end of his/her meal “What do you think of the fish?Was the fish good?”The customer understands it as:Where did you find the fish?
Step Ⅴ.Consolidation
T:OK.Now let’s listen to the tape of the dialogue.Pay attention to the intonation of the humour.After that we’ll do some exercises.Try to find out the humour in each joke.First,let’s look at the screen.
Find out the humour in each joke.
1.A:What is the longest sentence in the world?
B:Prison for life.
2.A:What is the difference between a hill and a pill?
B:A hill is hard to get up;a pill is hard to get down.

B:The second hand.
4.A:What is the worst kind of fish?
B:Selfish.

Words:
1.book (v.)reserve
e.g. Can I book (a ticket) through to Beijing?
She has booked three seats on the plane.
2.charge
(1)n. e.g.What’s the charge for a room?
The charge for the taxi will be increased next month.
(2)v. e.g.The hotel charged me 50 yuan for a room for the night.
How much/What do they charge for the suit at the store?

Phrases:
1.from(side)to(side)
e.g.The train ran very fast and moved from side to side.
She went from shop to shop in order to get an evening dress.
2.happen to do:do sth.by chance
e.g.My son happened to be there when the traffic accident happened.

7.turn up
For some reason,he didn’t turn up.
He turns up late for everything.
Sentences:
1.At that moment he remembered that all the tickets,…were in his jacket that he had left hanging next to his seat.→This is a compound sentence. “That Clause” introduces an Attributive Clause,to modify “his jacket”.In the Attributive Clause,the predicate verb uses the following structure “leave sb./sth.+v-ing”.e.g.
Don’t leave her waiting outside. Let her in.
Leave the piano standing in the corner.
2.You are to go to the hotel where rooms have already been booked for you.→Here “book” is a verb.Just now we learned the usage.“be to do sth.” is a very useful structure.e.g.
(1)Mother says you’re to wait here till she comes.
(2)The room is to be locked.
(3)They are to go travelling in August.

Tell the following statements are true or false.
1.At the beginning of the story.Hank Stram and his two children were having dinner on the train.
2.Hank said,“I’m just going down to the dining car to get a coffee.”Here,he used “going down” because the dining car was near the last carriage of the train.
3.The train had stopped in a station for a few minutes.When it started moving again,the train divided and the front part was going to Frankfort while the other part was going to Bonn.
4.The announcement made at the station was in German.Otherwise,Hank might have realized what would happen.
5.The two children were very anxious about their father after they reached the hotel.
6.The two children didn’t realize that their father had been anxious about them.They thought they had lost their father.

1.in the rush hour
e.g.There's a lot of traffic on this road in the rush hour.
2.I was still so angry I was determined to tell him what I thought of him.→This is a Complex Sentence and also an Elliptical Sentence.In fact,“that” behind angry is left out.This is very often seen in spoken English.“Be determined to do”is also a very useful phrase.
e.g.The workers are determined to get the work done before New York.
3.be a danger(to…)
e.g.That man is a danger to society.

Ss:Yes.
T:OK.Please do it in pairs.
(Teacher goes among the students to check their practice.Then chooses some best pairs to make some sentences to the whole class.)

He looked at me rather surprised,and went a little red in the face,and finally he said,“Well,this is very sudden!”So I immediately realized that he had not understood me correctly.So I said,“No!I mean when I get married in church,will you be the minister who marries me and my husband?”And he understood and we both laughed.

Reference for Teaching
一、异域风情
1.Bars in America
In America,people often go to bars to have some drinks,watch TV,or have a party to relax themselves after a whole day's toil(辛苦的工作).In America,people have to reach a certain age to get alcohol(酒精)drinks.Every state has its own law and the drinking age is different.In Ohio,people have to be over 21 to have alcohol drinks.If a bar sells alcohol drinks to teenagers under 21,the most serious punishment the government will take is a heavy fine and even to put the manager into prison.So every bar in America just cooperates with the government and checks everyone's valid(有效的)license to make sure not to sell alcohol drinks to teenagers under 21.If the bar-tenders meet someone and they are not sure about his age,they will check his ID to verify(证实).
There are several kinds of bars.One is a sports bar.In America,people love sports.Their favorite sports are basketball,football and hockey.Usually people go to a sports bar watching sports games with their friends and enjoying a passionate(感情强烈的)moment with strangers in the bar.Another is the ordinary bar.People just go there and take a couple of drinks and chat with each other to relax themselves.The bar is a symbol of the American culture.There,you can learn much western culture and have a lot of fun.
2.Still no free lunch
The repairman told me,“No charge,Professor Pan!We're friends.”“I'd rather pay,”I replied.“If it's free I can't afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services,insisting,“We're friends now!”But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English,or get them into an American university,and I wish I'd have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans,“There's no free lunch”means there's a price for everything,and I'm always looking around to figure out what this means.
Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly(昂贵的)teas,never asking anything in return.For years,a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him.“Wait until you have something major to fix!”he insists.
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later,he showed up with a beautiful mill that he'd had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).
Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me,who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠纷)and just hand over the money.But cash can't compensate(补偿)for the greatest gift—friendship.
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools(凳子)under the trees,sipping(呷)tea,he said,“They must have nothing better to do.”“Actually,”I said,“they are professors,with plenty of work to do.But probably you're right in saying that,at this moment,they have nothing better to do.And neither do!”
And I joined the group.We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said,“They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now they're taller than you.How time flies!”
How life flies!And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give out their time,never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me,slowly,to both give and receive.
So the next time someone says,“No charge.We're friends!”I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English,I'll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well,because there's still no free lunch.

四、能力训练
(一)请讲出下列双关语趣味幽默之处:
1.Seven days without water makes one weak(week).
答案:本句运用了同音异义双关语,weak和week是同音异义词,因而本句有两种理解:①七天不进水,人就会虚弱(weak)。
②七天没有水就是一星期(week)。
2.A:Can you see a female?
B:Of course,I can see a female as easily as a male.Do you suppose I'm blind?
答案:A所问话中see意为“约见,会见”,其句意为:你能会(约)见一位女士吗?而B所答话中,把see歧解为“能看见(have the ability to see).其句意为:当然看得见,我看女士和男士一样的容易,难道你认为我是个瞎子?这一对话运用了语意歧解双关语。
3.The professor knocked on his desk and shouted,“Gentlemen,order!”The entire class replied,“Beer!”
答案:本句运用了同词异义双关语。order既可理解为“安静”,又可理解为“点菜、点饮料”。教授原意敲击讲台并大声是说“先生们,安静”,而学生们开玩笑说“啤酒”。
4.When the college girl announced that she weighed 140 pounds stripped for gym,her anxious father wanted to know who“Jim”was.
答案:本句运用了谐音双关语,gym(体操、体育课)与人名Jim(吉姆)发音相同,结果此文读后令人捧腹大笑:女儿说脱掉衣服上体育课,体重140磅,而父亲却怀疑女儿与哪个吉姆有染。
5.A:You missed school yesterday,didn't you?
B:So,not a bit.
答案:A本来是问B“你昨天缺课了,是吗?”,而B故意把它理解为“你昨天想念学校了,是吗?”,所以B答“一点也不(not a bit)”巧妙地化解了尴尬局面。本对话运用的是多义词双关语。
(二)根据句意及首字母,写出下列所缺单词的正确形式:
1.Time p__________,we'll pay a visit to the Forbidden city.
2.Now we find it c__________ to make friends with people by E-mail.
3.Peter's a__________of mind made his chemistry teacher very angry.
4.The ant exhibition will be open to the public free of c__________.
5.It is surprising that the two sisters have nothing in c__________.
6.Attention,please,I have an important a__________to make.
7.We are d__________to beat the Bears in the next game.
8.The Greens have b__________two rooms in the hotel.
答案:1.permitting 2.convenient 3.absence 4.charge 5.common 6.announcement 7.determined 8.booked
五、高考真题
1.(NMET 2000)Let Harry play with your toys as well,Clare—you must learn to __________.
A.support B.care
C.spare D.share
简析:选D。因share“分享,分担,均分”,可作及物或不及物动词,share sth. with sb.“与某人分享某物”。
2.(NMET 2001)A computer can only do __________ you have instructed it to do.
A.how B.after
C.what D.when
简析:选C。因what作连词可引导主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等。
3.(2001年上海春季)__________ is no possibility __________Bob can win the first prize in the match.
A.There;that B.It;that
C.There;whether D.It;whether
简析:选A。此题考查There be和It be结构以及同位语从句的辨析。possibility后面部分表示它的内容,所以我们应理解为that引导的同位语从句。
